IMPORTS (Calcutta, Dec. 3, 1853).-The slackness which appeared in our market for cotton goods, a little before the departure of the last mail, has not been removed, the inquiry from the Agra presidency being still moderate. Scotch fabrics are more buoyant. In mule iwist, ordinary low and middling 20's, 30's and 40's are in less request, while 50's to 100's are in demand with somewhat better rates. Turkey red yarns are only in limited demand, but prices are well supported. During the last few days, copper has declined, in consequence of the inquiry from the Upper Provinces having fallen off. Iron maintains its position, and holders of the metal are very firm. Spelter, lead, and tin plates are without report of sale. MADRA S. CAPTAIN COOKE.-We learn that Captain Cooke, of the commissariat department, will be appointed assistant adjutant-general of the army.-Madras Spectator. DEATH OF CAPTAIN R. L. REILLY.-We regret to record the death of Captain R. L. Reilly, of the 10th N.I., which took place after a very short illness at Ootacamund on the 20th inst. Captain Reilly had been employed for some time past as executive engineer on the Neilgherries, and was very popular with all classes of the community, no less for his ability than for the amiable character of his disposition. His decease promotes Lieutenant G. J. Stapleton and Ensign W. R. Round to the higher grades. -Athenæum, Nov. 26. SECUNDRABAD.-The Madras United Service Gazette notices that a committee has been ordered to assemble at Secundrabad to report upon the healthiness of the barracks in that cantonment. A lakh of rupees, it is said, was expended in improving these barracks in 1837, and they are still among the most unhealthy in India. In the five years, during which H.M.'s 30th foot remained in the station, 1,000 men and women were laid in the regimental burying-ground. The journalist records this fact on his own authority, as he was stationed at Secundrabad during the whole of that period. The cause of the unhealthiness is a drain under the barrack windows, into which the graveyard filters. The buryingground itself is only a few yards off, and on a higher level, and it has continued thus for some twenty years. The fact is simply disgraceful. GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORDERS. OFF RECKONINGS. Fort St. George, Nov. 29, 1853.-In consequence of the demise of Colonel Thomas George Newell, and of the augmentation of the infantry, the following addition to the list of officers entitled to off-reckonings are authorized : Colonel Thomas Littleton Green, to half a share from the Offreckoning Fund, from the 12th October, 1853, vice Newell, deceased. Colonel John Yaldwyn, to half a share from the Off-reckoning Fund, from the 15th November, 1853, in consequence of the augmentation. DRESS OF 3RD EUROPEANS. Head-Quarters, Nov. 24, 1853.-Under the authority of Government, the Commander-in-Chief is pleased to establish the following dress for the 3rd Madras European regiment:Clothing-Red: Facings, pale yellow; lace, white with black worm.

EXAMINATION OF SUBALTERN OFFICERS.-From the General Orders published in another column, it will be seen that the Commander-in-Chief has laid down the test of qualifications necessary for the command of a troop or company, in which an examination must be passed before any subaltern officer shall be in future considered eligible for such appointment. THE EX-AMEERS OF SCINDE.-The Englishman states that Government have offered the Ex-Ameers of Scinde to return and take up their residences at Hyderabad, provided they agree to do so permanently. SHIP BURNING.-The Bombay Times records another instance of an attempt at ship burning in the harbour. The British Queen, of Liverpool, laden with cotton, left the harbour of Bombay on the 16th November. Shortly after it was discovered that she was on fire. The flames were suppressed by the exertions of the officers, and the captain returned to the port. Five hours afterwards, the vessel was again on fire. The promptitude of the officers again saved the ship; three hundred bales of cotton were removed, and hot cinders found below them. The fire therefore was the work of an incendiary. We need not say the crew are lascars, or add that they will escape. MORTALITY IN BOMBAY.-The Bombay Gazette informs us, on the authority of a report from the Medical Board, that the deaths in that island during 1852 were 13,511. The proportion of mortality to inhabitants is about equal to that of London. The male deaths are to the female as 118 to 100. The greatest cause of mortality in Bombay is fever, which destroyed 5,847 persons. Then follow diarrhoea and dysentery, which slew nearly 3,000, then respiratory diseases (deaths 1,415), and lastly cholera (deaths 1,135). This, however, refers only to natives. Among Europeans, the number of deaths from disease of the alimentary organs are three times the deaths from fever. One-fifth of the deaths of European males spring from nervous disorders. LORD FALKLAND was at the presidency it was understood that he would leave India on the 28th Dec. LORD FREDERICK FITZ CLARENCE was at Poona, where he daily manoeuvred the military camp which he has formed at the station. THE NEW MERCANTILE BANK of India, London, and China, which has been lately established in Bombay, held a meeting on the 30th Nov., when the report of the provincial committee was read, the deed of settlement approved of, and the directors and some of the officials of the new bank appointed. Mr. A. Anderson, formerly manager of the Commercial Bank, has been selected as London manager on a salary of 1,0001. MR. KIGHT, an aeronaut, made an ascent in Bombay on the afternoon of the 10th Dec., and had not since been heard of. Mr. Kight had about twelve months ago notified his determination of making an ascent, but failed to carry out his intention; the indignation which at that time was expressed, no doubt urged him to retrieve his reputation, and he went up on the above date, loudly cheered by the spectators, the balloon rising to a great height, so that it appeared a mere speck in the atmosphere. At about five o'clock the balloon was seen descending in the direction of Malabar Point, and the æronaut was observed to be throwing out ballast to check the rapidity of the descent, but it fell into the sea, about three miles distant from the land, descending as it approached the ocean with fearful velocity, into which it plunged with great force, and neither man or balloon have since been heard of, although no exertions that humanity could prompt have been spared to recover him. |
