INDIA AND CHINA. THE OVERLAND MAIL. Wa hare evolved our dempatches by the Overland Mail, a telegraphic summary of which oppeued in oar Nomad Edition of Saturday. The dates are :-- 1 Calcutta, Jan. 10; Madras, Jan. 14; Bombay, Jan. 17 ; Shanghai, Dec. 0 ; Hong• Kong, Dee. 19. The following is from the sanunary of the Bombay Bows of Jan. 16: Oar Lulls' annals for the past fifteen days have sot bees without their interest. A battle has been fought at Bander Abbas between the Arabs and the Persians, in which the latter were saossesfal. A Persian force of 12,000 horsemen, with six guns and two mortars, appeared before Bander Abbas in the beginning of December, and shelled the place for two days and nights; on the third day the garrison, consisting of 1,700 men, met the Persians at the gates, and an engagement took place which lasted for several hours. The Arab force, overpowered by numbers, took to their boats and fled to the man-of-war belonging to the 'mum of Moue. The Arabs lost in killed and wounded about 1,400, whilst the Persians lost about 4,000. The Arabs were commanded by the eldest son of the Imautn. He is determined to hazard another battle before giving up Bonder Abbas to the Persians. The Imam is said to be mustering a large force, which he will command in person ; so that we may shortly expect to hear of another engage. SOUL Oar little fleet in the Persian Gulf has had some employment against an Arab pira tical Chief, with two thousand followers. The want of the affair, as given by a con temporary, is as follow''—The attack was made in 12 boats, containing an armament of about 300 men and boys, eight guns—two twelve and six tines. pounders--and one rocket boat. The Arabs fought well, and several of the seamen were wounded, but none of them severely. The water was very shallow, and several of the heavier boats were aground during the whole time of the action. After having been 'belled and well peppered with cannister shot, the Chief sent a flag of truce, with an intimation that he would deliver up the bagalow, which was Immedi ately burned upon the spot. The pirates must have sustained a loss of upwards of 100 killed and wounded. The expedition seems to have been well planned, and admirably executed; not • single life having been lost.—The latest news front Burnish is to the 28th December and is unimportant. The Burmese ambassadors have returned to Rangoon. At their final iaterview with the Governor-General they revealed their real object in coming ; they had been sent to seek restitution of the whole of the captured Provinces in Burnish. Lord Dalhousie told them they would obtain nothing.—The communication by Electric Telegraph is now complete between the three Presidencies, the N. W. Provinces and Lahore. Colonel Outran seems to be adopting firm and conci. liatory measures at Lucknow. One of his first acts, which discovered not a little penetration and fore sight, was the immediate expulsion of three notorious characters from Lueknow, who had been w long vegetating in the rank sort of intrigue."—The Nauparah tumult hu been quietly subdued. By the loot amounts, Orr's corps was still encamped in that district. Letters fro. Hamptes inform as of a fracas between the Bengal and Madras trdops escorting treasure to that sta tion. In the melee oar man was killed and two wounded. Major Blogg, of the 7th Cavalry, had a fall from his horse daring the disturbance, and broke his leg and was obliged to »tura. Nsgpors is quiet. We learn from Cabal that the Hazarsh district is the sane of disturbances. The people had risen to the number of 4,000. Reinforcements were sent to Birder Maimed Arden than, consisting of a regiment of foot, 2,000 Persian and Affghan bone, and two rms. A rebellion against the Amur has also occurred in Slieborghan in Toorkistan. Reinforcements have also been sent to that plass. Fedi& Mahommed Khan, commanding at Khilat-i-Gbilsie, has sent word that the Caudate: Web have acknowledged fealty to the king of Persia, and asked assistants; against Dost Makommed. If the Shah gives the required assistance, Kohundil Khan will have the soda of the realm struck in his Malady's name. Mahound Shah Ghilsaies has been detected is as intrigue against the Dost's lit., and his relations have been imprisoned by the Ander. Information had been received of the arrival it Peshawar of Iced Dalhousie's letter to Dost Mahoudd, but nothing was known about its contents. A publie meeting in aid of the Patriotic Fund was held in the Town Hall oa the 3rd instant, at which the Right Honourable Lad Elphisiteee presided. The meeting wee the wet numerous and the met enthosiastis ever witneesed in Bombay. The com munity, European and native, assembled is issues, and every one seemed to be impressed with a moss of the solemnity of the emasica, and desirous to signalise their love to Great Britain, and their attachment to the sum ef humanity, in defuse of which she is surilisin the dower of her chivalry. The potriamill Parsee Knight, Sir brunt * Jujesasy, was peanut at the meeting ; and the pas be took a it wee one of the sort inreireadwg features of the oftesion. Lord 1411daterse, in a few remarks highly s ozg ; men tery to Sir famed*, introduced Mr. Jandetlee. Sir Jamsetjee's youngest son, who rose and said :—" With your Lordship's kind peregrine, I beg most respectfully to communicate to your Lordship and the gentlemen of Bombay hue assembled. the views and feelings of my vene rable father in reference to the deeply offset ing and interesting occasion and ablest of this meeting?

It was very anmareeely attended by the most wealthy, en- Wafted, and estimable of the native eemmuniiy. The Association is to be kept up, and its sphere of usslidases increased. One means of increasing its sulkiness is indicated in the recommendation of the sonmittes, which wee adopted by the Association, that there should be a " mutual interchange of visits between India and Great Britain, and that some of their countrymen should swept the kind invitation of Mr. Seymour and proceed to England." Another evidence of native peogew is furnished by a general meeting of the Parsee community held on the 13th instant, for the purpose of taking the necessary preliminary steps for forming a philo sophic institute, to comprise a public news-room, reading-room, circulating library, and other means of information for the people.—Oar excellent Governor, Lord Elphinstone, ls winning golden opinions by his seal in promoting and hastening on public works designed to develop the resources of the country. The Military Board recently submitted to Govern ment Captain Graham's Report in support of a pro ject of a trunk road from Nsssick, on the Bombay and Agra road, via Aurnngabsd and Jaulna to Nagpme, and recommended the execution of that portion which would pass through the Bombay Ter ritory, at a profitable cost of Rs. 3,90,000 ; also re commend a scheme for roads in the Nassick dis tricts for general sanction at a probable cost of Rs. 8,26,800, the works to be included, if approved, in the statement of proposed operations in 1855 58. The Right Hon. the Governor wrote an elaborate minute on this report, on which the reply of go vernment is based. The Bank of Bombay has de clared a lel-yearly dividend of Rs. 37-8 per share, being at the rate of 7i per cent. per annum on the capital stock of the Bank. The net profit of the year ending 30th December, 1854, after paying all the current expenses of the Bank, was Rs. 3.57,904. 7-8. The balance of reserved fund is R.. 42,339-3-0. The half-yearly statement of the Bank of Madres does not show such prosperity ; it has declared a dividend for the same period at the rate of only five per cent. per annum. The Direc tire of the Beak of Bengal, at their weekly meeting, held that day, ared a dividend for the past half year at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum upon the Capital Stock. This result is ex ceedingly satisfactory considering that the rate on Loans and Discounts up to the 30th November were at 3 and 4 per cent. At the same meeting the rates of the Bank were spin raised 2 per cent all round. The Governor-General is about to EZIto the Neilgherries. The Governors of and Bombay are at the seat of their respective governments. Sir William Gomm is at present on a tour of inspection in the Punjaub. The first division of her Majesty's 10th Hussars left Bombay for Saes on the 10th instant, and will be followed in about a fortnight by the remainder of the regiment The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamers Norma and Pekin are stated to be taken up, in addition to the Precursor, to convey troops to and from Bombay to Suez ' • the latter vessel is now getting ready for ass , and is expected round from Calcutta in the coarse of a week.

The Imperialists wanted to make a barrier in the river too, sinking junks. deo., but a veto was put oo that instanter. Commerce and navigatioa in China, Admiral Stirling thinks, have hal barriers enough already. Sir John Bowring is also at Canton with the admiral. The Canton provieion market is at present dependent on Hoag-Kong for supplies of live stook, and such is the demand that the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company find it their interest to keep steamers running, and towing boat loads of pigs, almost every day.

DINT ON TIN DAILY MTh.) PARIS, MOXDLT RIMMING. A Vienna letter of the Bth, in the Constittstiontsel, which bears unmistakeable marks of careful revision at the Foreign-office, contains, I have no doubt, if not the latest intelligence of the state of the negotia tionswith Germany, at least the latest views on the subject which the French government desires to hold out to the public. It appears from this article (or letter, as it is in point of form), that the Clyne pondence Prussienne, which everybody knows to be the mouthpiece of the Berlin Ministry, lately in sinuated that the proposal for re-establishing the political equilibrium in the Black See, not by weakening the Muscovite power, but by strengthening that of Turkey, emanated from Austria, and not, as has been assumed in Paris, from Prussia. This the Constitution:tit flatly contradicts, DUBLIN, Fn. 12.

The battalion oomprisre the 9th, 17th, 39th , sad 89th depot, sad marten 1,000 reek and ale. Oa Friday, an order was received in the garrison to increase the drafts from those several depots, nadir orders to join the monies companies in the Urines, to 120 ram sack ; cad they are impend to match this week. and refers in support of the contradiction to certain I well-known incidents of the recent negotiations. Although the preciee tent of the protocol of Deo. 28 cannot be communicated to any power that has not adhered to the treaty of Deo. 2, Prince Oortobakoff wee informed confidentially that, according to the ' Ann of the parties to that treaty, the third guarantee required from the Czar implied the destruction ofVse Iberian military establishments, and the limito- Isms of the Bossism naval forces in the Mack Sao. This is confirmed by the fact that Prince Gortehakoit in his counter-project sub mitted to the conference of Jan. 7, was careful to in troduce this capital restriction—that he only accepted the interpretation of the third point so far as the measures to be consequent ally taken might not infringe upon the sovereign rights of his Imperial master in his own dominion.. The meaning of this wea that the Czar would never consent to rase Sebastopol to the ground, nor to any limitation of the number of his ships of war in the waters of the Black Sea. The Berlin cabinet, although profaning lino ranoe, perfectly well knew of the Interpretation of the third point insisted on by the three powers, fbr so early as January sth Baron Manteuffel, in a despatch which has been made public, hastened to prepare the way for Priam Clortchakoff is restriction by say ing that although the proposals of the contracting parties to the treaty of Deo. 2 had ostensibly for their object the re-establishment of peace, they in fact implied nothing lees than a reeettlement of the public right. of Buroße. Bat farther, while in a pre vious despatch of Dec. 19 the Prussian Cabinet feigned a belief that the parties to the treaty of December found it difficult to agree upon the sense of the four points, it was subsequently forced to yield to evidence, and in a recent despatch, dated Jas. 21, the following passage occurs :—" Not only do the Western Powers appear to be with Austria as to the precise interpretation the four points, but their three representatives Nis le ersti p ia 7 have come to a con fi dential and with dm Russian plenipotentiary as to the Wes of negotiations for peace." Thus it is ti e testimony of Baron Manteuffel. that gibbet of Vienna, after having given its fa and entire cow sant to the interpretation of the tree pilule proposed by the Western Powers, amoeided itself with them to obtain the pure and simple of that in terpretation from the Csain tiary. Is it, we ask, possible that Amelia at this time of day can have proposed ,to the gabfests of Paris and London a system altogetbse eppoeite, which instead of annihilating the Muscovite pre. ponderance in the Black Rea would leave it intact.

The brief account which I emit on Saturday of the lose of a steamer with all hands, near the entrance to Dublin Bay, has unfortunately turned out only too accurate ; and I regret to say that other disasters, though not of the same melancholy character, have 1 1 resulted from the recent storm on our tOillt. The following are the fullest details that have been col- lected about the loss of the Wilho'-the-Wisp: Oa iwaretiey u;-t ter rib l e is swami demur atm twelve o'clock, wham the bills of wind and sleet were at their Isms; the Will-o'• the-Wisp, a seise steamer ef be tweet 460 and 600 teas bards', streak ea a reef shoat yards from the main portion of Lembay Island, known as the Barna Rock, sad aas very short time most have be am a total wreak. The vessel was lint observed at day break from the coastguard station at Fortran.. She was thus lying with bet mute ever the side, sad appeared to be rapidly going to pieces. The strong eta running at the time precluded ell possibility of amistaase, even bad say symptoms of life bees visible es board by ; bat Mire is rod reason for believing that an hands had this tine perished. The lifeboat, with a mister seshiniag the ship's papers, Seated on shore in the aura of the day sear the property of Mr. Cobb, R.M., at Fort ran., but, from the fact of the oars being lashed it was toe evident that time had not been allewrA to those en beard to adopt measures for their escape. Portia. of the wreck, cossisting of ears of the lower yards and a quantity of deck planks, strewed the east frost Portrane Point to the Split of Baldoyle, sad at a portico of the line called the Velvet Strand, Gee of the hoards belonging to either the head or stern of pa vessel, with her name In gilt letters spa it, drifted mime, as did also the binnacle similarly marked, thus leaving so desbt as to the identity of the unfortunate ship. A bandieetprivate letters, addressed to Gee. Davidson, the chief 'mileage. were also cast apes the beach and taken chugs ey eagethee with the ether articles, by a detachment coastguardsof stationed at Malaide. It was hoped that MO wiles bad succeeded in escaping on to the main poe tise a the Wad; but a letter recei ve d from Lambay, when die gale had subsided, left no doubt epee this pesat, and the chance that any of the unfortunate survivors had drifted bat to sea upon pieces of the wreck is rendered o:trimly improbable by the fate that the wind, with bat momentary variations, has ever sins* been blowing due east, and con meanly dead on to the land, while none of the vessels con steady passing near the spot have, as far as can be learned, met with anything that could afford ground for such a sup position. It is hardly neosessry to add, that the statement simulated on the alleged authority ef the master of a tar Mat, to the effect that the funnel sad mash were still standing on Saturday, from which the martins were rg be hope that some of the survivors might be lashed to the rigging, is utterly devoid of foundation . The Will ettlis- Wisp was a hue screw steamer, with en un usual length of deck, the property of a New castle firm, and had for some months been chartered by the Great Southern sad Western Railway Company for the conveyance of coals to Dublin, from Newcastle and Mary port, with a cargo of which description she was laden when the fatal sceident above desco ibed befel her on her passage to this city. She was commanded by Captain Nixon, and had a crew of 14 in number, in addition to whom there were at the time on board as passengers several of the mestere and carpenters of vessels now discharging at the quays, making altogether, we are informed, 26 souls. Oa receipt of the melancholy intelligence, a rumour of which reached Dublin in some manner on Friday morning, but without receiving any authenticated corroboration until the following day, Mr. Cochrane, of the City-quay, dispatched a telegraphic meesags to Maryport giving information of the fact, and making inquiries as to the time of her sailing and the names of the persons on board. The rep Iy trams mined stated that the ill-feted vessel had left Mary pert et 2 p m., on Thursday, and would accordingly be due in Dublin at 8 a.m. on the following day, the hoer about which it 1. conjectured that she struek. The passengers whom amass were known were—Captain Jackson, of the James, of Maryport, sod his wife ; and Capt. Scott, of the Palmer. of Maryport, both of which vessels are at present lying in the river Liffey. A melancholy fact was added— namely, that both these sputa* were returning to Dublin after tamales the lutearal obsequies of their nearest rela tives—Captain Jambs. of his sister, and Captain Scott of his wile. They hed reessimed behind for this purpose, and wore sepia *air respective vs well when the se cideat occurred by which they rejoined in death those for who's loss in life they were still miaowing. The came to which the loss of the vessel are assigned are two in nathev—sitlise that she had overrun her distance and went as shore is the snow storm, without those on board knowing the position fa which they wen; or that, as frequently happens, she had Isla to until the mashie cleared, sad the Arts haviag ban put out by a essoomiest of heavy seam, the crew were obliged to run for %rest pint of lead, seemserity taking chance for the of the mast ea whisk she would be met. The format suppo sition is all but negatived by the fast that the two masters who were es board sad knew every bit ef the mast, to gether with the captain of the steamer, maid hardly have made so egregious ea mew as to strike ea the halward side of the island ; while the latter is streastheand by the fact that at the time she must have hese beating about In the bay the gale was at its went. The question is ea% however, which in all probability so human nbeing les survived to clear up, and "the fathomless depths of the vasty dap" are opposed as a veil to human sight, to binder us from prey to closely into the immutable designs of an all-wise SPORTING. --s TATTERSALLI3.—IicemAy.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS OF SCOTLAND. The Highland and Agricultural Society has joie presented to the Brard of Trade the agricultural statistics of all Scotland, now for the ant time collected. The enormous task of bringing together the ruses of facts sew made public has been oceomplished by the society by the aid of 'neatly 1,100 tenet finnan, acting as enumerates of mamma s sad if rameben of committee for parishes sac was u*tty reason to tam rack lei , await With which the work was taken up that the return are remark able for accuracy. The tables appended to the report are four in number. The first contains the acreage of the dif ferent crops sad the amount of stock in each county. The second table contains the gross produce of the principal grata and root crops in 31 counties; the third, the average unable produce of such crops in each of these onetime ; and the fourth, the average aoreable produce K all crops estimated per diarists or subdivisions of counties. Some deficiencies of course are observable in the first report. The average returned does not, for several reasons. represent the superficial area of Scotland, as neither High land crofters nor the occupants of the smaller holdings is the Lowlands were invited to send returns. Crops which are cut growing for forage, as well as carrot,cabbage,or mari gold, are not returned, but the crops so excluded aro grown butto a limited latest, and their omission has secured greater scouracy this it would have base otherwise possible to obtain. Of the acres in tillage in Scotland, there are hire shows to be devoted to the cultivation of wheat, 163,216 ; barley. 207,607 ; oats, 932,994 ; rye, 3,809 ; bare, or bigg, 18,118; beans, 37,702; peas, 6,1691 ; vetches, 13,4421; turnip, 433,916! ; potatoes, 143,0121 ; mangold, 1,946!; carrots . 1,218 ; cabbag e , 1,3951 ; lac, 6,6701; tarnip.seed, 1,4291 ; hare fallow, 26,1281. Of the acres in grams, there were In grate, in the rotation of the fun, 1,427,7901 ; permanent pasture, 1,207,1011 ; Irrigated meadows, 69,2661 ; sheep walks, 6,630,8421. Home, roads, fences, So., accepted 130, 638! suns; woods, 413,391; and west*, 830,703,1. The amount of stock was as follows : —Horses, 166,696; milk °owe, 292,366 ; other cattle, 433,334 ; calves, 205,172 ; ewes, summers, and ewe bogy, 3,360,289; tope, walkers, and wether hogs, 1,426,946 ; swine, 163,683.

On the great lesson of these returns, our northern sen temporary, the Scotsman, observes :—Thus all the sown). varies and wojectures of past years have proceeded upon enormous mistakes as to the amount of agricultural produce is Scotland, and, we expect soon to learn, in England also. It is matter of universal admission that the produce of last year was eonsiderably above an average, both as to terms and yield—and yet what will raiders, and, not least, agri cultural readers, think of the fact that last year's produce was on the whole not much more than, and in wheat some. what ler than, a half of what has hitherto been reckoned the average annual agricultural produce of the kingdom ? The most authoritative estimate hitherto is use has ben one made by Mr. M'CoUoch some twelve years ago, " from a great variety of data, and which received the corrections of some eminent practical autho rities ;" since then the produce has undoubtedly made a large increase; and often during that interval have we seen the iletiOilt4l largely added to by the I meet purely " practical " statists. In order to present a glimpse of the lamentable extent to which we have all along been arguing in the dark, we here place i• jute position the quantities, muted in guidon, of earth wreal annually produced in Scotland, according to the estimate. and 'wording to the ascertained facts of the large hewed of ISM : Estimated.

DESERTION FROM THE TRANSPORT SERVICE. For the Lit few days some interest has been felt at Sonthanapton and other porta in a cue before the mega. trates, connected with the late desertion from the menw transport steam•ship Mauritius, at Portsmouth. The fetes it will be remembered, are these :—Tbe Mauritius arrived at Portsmouth a few days since with a cargo of invalided troops from the Black Sea. She first touched at Southamp ton, returned to Portsmouth, and was from thence ordered to proceed to Chatham, to land her soldiers. Upon the Grew getting information of the last order, a mutiny commenced on board. The majority of the crew refused to proceed further in the vessel, and finally doweled her, before even properly mooring her. In consequence of their getting away, it became impossible for Captain Stewart, in eon wad of the Mauritius, to have them at the moment taken into custody; sad apes application, on Thursday morning last, by Captain Bhuttlaworth, one of the directors of the Omni Screw Company, owners of the Mauritius, warreate were issued against several of the men, who, as Captain Shuttleworth said, had signed articles to go to say port is Bpglaed, France, or the Mailman's.' and Black Sees, in theormesel, for • woe not exeseding twelve months. The defence set up for the alleged desertion was, that the arrival of the ship at any/rook England—according to the stated anfierstandteg of the men when they signed articles—was a Lot which gave them full power either to continue in ox leave the ship, u they thought proper.
