C Daily News
The Japan Gazette of the 15th March says:- HMS Undaunted is flying the homeward ant, a telegram having been received on urday stating that the new crew of the uiser is being brought out by the Edgar We understand that the Edgar will leave home on 3rd of April, and that the two vessels will meet at Trincomalee, where the Undaunted will begin her now commission. The Edgar will then return home, the Undaunted remaining on the China Station. The instructions reached the Undaunted earlier than expected, and it is probable that the forthcoming Diamond Jubilee celebration is accountable for this fact. Soon after the arrival of the telegram on Saturday the officers and crew were informed of the contents of the message, and hearty cheers were raised, while the ship's band played Homeward Bound." It is satis factory to learn that the Undaunted is spoken of as a very comfortable ship, her officers apparently being as popular on board as they are among the residents of the port. The Undaunted's homeward pennant, we may mention, is one to be proud of; it measures as many feet as there are days in the year.

Raw Silk.** Settlements have been on a larger scale for the week past than we have experienced for some months; the most noticeable feature has been the demand for Steam Filatures, both for the States and for the Continent. Exchange has fallen considerably during the interval, and a corre sponding advance in price is noticeable in Tsatless of the lower grades, which have been most enquired after. Taatlees.-14/',500 bales have found purchasers at the quotations below, and the market is closing very firm. Yellow Silks. About 200 bales have been settled. Arrivals are on a very limited scale, and supplies of most kinds are almost at an end.

Re-reels and Filatures.Some 1,200 bales Steam Filatures are reported settled, about one half fine sizes and one half 13/15 deniers; these parchases exhaust the stocks on hand.
