On Tuesday last the steamer Glengoit arrived from Batoum with a cargo of go,000 cases kerosine oil, part of which is being discharged here. This is the first cargo of oil from Batoum that has come to the Straits, but it has been tried elsewhere in the cast with eminent success. It is of a higher test than American oil. It has al cady got a firm hold of the Indian markets, and it is said that Bombay now imports more Russian oil iban American. What it will do here remains to be seen, but Batoum has a great point in its favor, in being so much neater than New York; a steamer from the former place taking only as many weeks as a sailer from the latter takes months. The Giengoil took just a month to come here, having lett Batoum on March 16th and arrived here on April 17th.
