EAST INDIA SHIPPING.
Letters by the Lady Hannah Ellice furnish us with some fresh arrivals at Bombay, and fully confirm the unfavourable intelligence which we lately received as to the rate of freight at that Port, 25s. to 30s. per ton being currently quoted for goods to England, and 20 to 25 rupees per Candy to China. Even on these terms cargoes can with difficulty be obtained, and half of the vessels in the harbour will probably be compelled to leave it in ballast. We are still without direct advices from the Eastern coast of Hindostan, but the Mary Ann and Norfolk, from Calcutta, are daily expected.
