A • large quantity of Ore has been raised,. and is now ready for the Crashing Mills, and is estimated to produce Gold of the value of 188,030/. The Directors have the absolute and unconditional power to adopt or reject the Contract, at any time within one month after the re ception of the report, to be obtained from their Agents. No Money, Shares, or other benefit will be derived by the Vendors Until the directors shall have adopted the Contract. But in case of Such adoption, the power to increase the Capital now taken will be eXereisett, and the additional Shares offered (optionally) pro rata to the then Shareholders. In case, on the receipt of the report, or from any other cause, the Directors shall determine to advise the Shareholders not to proceed attY further with the undertaking, they engage that any Share holder, intimating, in writing, his desire to withdraw from the Company, shall be at liberty to d s so, and to receive back the origi . nal 2 0s. per share, deducting the actual expenses incurred, and Which the Directors engage shall not exceed 2s. per share. The unquestionable character of the title—the exemption from lOyalty and dues—the short distance from England—the proximity the Atlantic coast—the quantity and quality of the ore at surface extracted from the hill above edit level—the prospect of speedy returns from this source—the great extent of the veins, and their regressive increase in richness in proportion to the depth, according ij i ,, th , i e s tests made—afford ample ground for expectation that • the Silver of the Company will equal those of the richest Goad and ',) . ..lver mines now known, and that the provisional contract entered into 1, 3' the Directors will, upon the verification of the report, have secured to the Shareholders the possession, in perpetuity, of a pro- Perty Of gr ea t and increasing value.

GENERAL SCREW STEAM COMPANY. An experimental' trip took place down the river on Saturday for the purpose of testing the newly-launched vessel the Queen of the South, belonging to -this com pany. She is a noble ship, well built and well provided, and dab gneits ,on the occasion occupied a considerable portion of their time in examining her lines, in scruti nizing,her machinery, and in exploring her interior fit ting's for passengers. Soma of her visitors objected that she wall-sided, ethers criticised her unusually lofty bul warks amidships, but all confessed that she was a noble specimen of naval architecture; well calculated to excite the utmost confidence, and in accomnodation for passen gers and in her engine arrangements especially worthy of cornateedation. The provision for the comfort of pesvngers is especially excellent, everything being per fectly plain but substantially good, and ventilation being carried out with a degree of success almost unprece dented. As to the engines, it might be considered suffi cient tai Fay that they were manufactured by the Messrs. Maudslay, sod that they combine in an unprecedented developed el e iy g oe r i ti c ycl e pme e 4 c o o sb ri t y om t h y e ' o nearly s f Q approaches screw wp a rc propeller, ra oc w ph i ee t etr e o, ffi da c in i r e de n o ctthyaecoftfai action, s t h i o na n st ; the m ost perfect form of marine action, th a t w hi c h in oncesim been - a valuable acquisition to mechanical science and a silent testimony to the importance of that new field of enter prise upon which the General Screw Steam Company have entered. Teio or - three points with reference to the machinery of tho Queen of the South may be worth mentioning. In the first place, it occupies only one-third of the space of paddle engines. Again, a new construction of airpump has been secured which pos sesses many advantages. Then the bilge pump has been so arranged that an attack of pirates, for example, may be repelled with scalding water from the boilers. Lastly, with reference to the boilers themselves, every means for economising theta • has been provided; and in the close examination of them a safer and more legitimate pride may be experienced than in the United States, where, during the exciting moments of a race, the captain often showS his sense of personal security by sitting en the safety-valve. The Queen of the South is built of iron, with watertight compartments,by the em in e nt builders One- Messrs. M are . he mea sures 210 feet from stern to stern, 39 feet beam, 25 feet in depth of hold. - She is of 1,850 tons burden, and is furnished , with engines of 300-horse power. The screwe works .. , sixty tevolations a minute, and the blades of it are so arranged as to be thrown on a . line with the keel, and not to impede the sailing of the ship. There is accommodation for 130 passengers, to whose comfort the company appear to have contributed most liberally. Since 1846, when the General Screw Com pany was established, it has been gradually but surely increasing in consequence and power. It now possesses a splendid fleet of sixteen ships, comprising 18,000 tons; it has a reserved fund of 12,0001., and pays annual divi dends of from sto 8 per cent. Among the company on the trial trip of the Qacen of the South were Earl Grey, the Earl of Verulam, Lord Dundonald, Lord do Res, Lord Jocelyn, Baron Moncorvo, Prince Carini, the Neapolitan Ambassador, I)elavi Effendi, M.

OVERLAND mAIL INDIA AND CHINA. We have received by our semi-monthly dispatch from Marseilles our l e tt ers i n an ti c ipation of the overland mail which left Bombar,onthe 17th ult. Our correspondent's letter of th a t d a t e i s :as follows:-- " The first shipload of th e f orce d est i ne dler the inva sion of Burmah arrived o ff th e R angoo diver on the morning of the 31st of March, and the remaining steamers and troops fro m B enga l *lO M a d ras were hourly expe c ted. Th e campa i gn was ' to Open formally en the sth of April, and it, was expected that Rangoon would be attacked about th e 10 t h . " The Burmese preparati ons f or war are d esc ribed as being on a much more ext en d e d sca l e thin in 1823; _the people pretend to be very anx i ous f or a'trial of strength, and evidently attribute Lord Dalhouile'S anxiety for peace and our delay in commencing operations to timidity. When Colonel Bogle, the Commissioner at Moulmain, in delivering a copy of theGovernor-Gene ral's ultimatum to the Burmese Commissioners of Marta bm, assured them that though prepared: for war, Lord Dalhousie was most anxious for peace, and expatiated on the calamities which a war would bring on Burmah, they replied, that if the English were so were they; and as to what h a d b een sa id regarding consequences, it was notorious thr oug h out a ll Asia that the English were the greatest bra ggar t s ' in the world. They have Since sent word to Colo , ~ b 1 • if he does not attack them on th prepared for war, which the period for negotia, cross the river and attack him, goon also has sent a message entreating that he will come goon and fight it out withotit qnite tirea of seeing his Ai doing nothing. " Admiral Austin, with thk Majesty's steamer Rattler, w, Rangoon by the 3d or 4th India Company's steam-frigal (from China) about the same s and Maha,nady had been and Akyab fur river service. the naval force in the Rangoo elusive of transports) of a - lin , frigate, and brig of war, with _ of war also. " Next mail will without doubt take home tidings of the fall of Rangoon and Manahan, but there is much difference of opinion as to what further progress can be made before the setting-in of the monsoon at the begin ning of May. The campaign has commenced nearly a month later than the Governor-General originally de signed, and it is now evidently too late ih the season, and cur delays have given the Burmese tod much time for organizing resistance, to allow of oper4tione sufficiently extended and decisive to terminate the ever taking place before the monsoon. The present force is, therefore, only a pioneer ono, and all it can do is to push on as fast as possible, and to establish its monsoon quarters as far up the river as is compatible with the maintenance of its communications, until the return of the campaign ing season and the arrival of reinforcements. " The experience of the last war proved that the cli mate of Rangoon will not admit of troops being quar tered there with impunity during the rainy season, but it was also found that as the river was ascended the ma laria of the lower country gradually ceased. It is, therefore, thought probable that the monsoon quarters of General Godwin's force will be fixed either at Done hew or at Promo ; the former, the site of Sir Wil loughby Cotton's repulse on the Bth o thef March, 1824, is about 100 miles above Rangoon ; an latter, Sir A. Campbell's monsoon quarters in the second year of the last Burmese war, and reckoned the key to Ava, is about double that distance. " The troops employed in the last Burmese war amounted to about 12,000 men. Genral Godwin has as yet only about half that number, and it is doubted whether, after making provision for the safety of his communications, his disposable force will be sufficent to allow of his maintaing himself during the rains and until the arrival of reinforcements in so advanced a position as Promo, But it is remarked, on the other hand, that the force with which Sir A. Campbell actually advanced at Ave did not exceed that under General Godwin's orders; the other troops engaged in the last war being employed in maintaining Sir A. Campbell's communications, and in other duties, which the naval force at present avail able is of itself perfectly competent to perform. Our steam force in the last Burmese war consisted only of the little Diana; on the present occasion we shall have 17 steamers, and the depth of the Irrawady is such as to admit of the largest steam. frigate ascending considerably above Prome. "It appears to be the general opinion in India that the moral effect of the defeat of the Bu:t,meee in the last f war would have been infinitely greater nd more last ing had Sir A. Campbell occupi e d t h ca pit a l before making peace, instead of tur n i ng back % en within four marches of it, and the Indian Government is strongly urged not to commit a similar mistake on the present occasion. ee " The present war may be more or ss protracted, but the result is certain; Ivo shall co el the Burmese to sue for peace, and we shall then dema d the expenses of the war; they will be una bl e to pay Ili in money, and we shall pay ourselves by a n ne x ing the delta o f t h e Ir rawady, with more or less of th e b ack country , aceord ing to circumstances. Government are evidently making preparations for the probable contingency of a lar ge f orce b e ing required Regi ment and 2d European Fu s ili ers, with the 25th an d 6 8 t h Bengal Native Infantry (b o th general service oorP O e are in Burmah after the rains. Trer MejestY's 29th on their way to Calcutta, to b e i n readiness if requ iredfl and 750 bullocks; have been purchased for the carriage of ammunition, now in course of preparation. An ad ditional Madras regiment (the sth) is also under lime diate orders for Burmab, to take the place of the "mull t" Bombay 13 the - only one of the three presidencies -whose contribution to the Burmese expeditionary force has not dissappointed th e -' Governor-Generars plans. The Bombay steam squadron arrived at Madras on the 7th of March, but the Madras troops were not ready to embark till the 30th and 31st. The Governor-General is taudli blamed by the Indian press for not having availed, himself, when the neeensity existed for striking a sudden blow, of the Bombay army, the most readily available for embarkation of any in India. Two brigades of the Bombay army are within - five diys' march of the point of embarkation, and regiments, might have been em barked on board the squadron o f war steamers, and in eluding two European, others available for the, purpose, s o as to have been landed at Rangoon by the 10th or 12th of March, and that this is not a mere suppo s i t i on is garanteed by the 6,000 Bombay troops, in fect of the incredibly short time in which 10,000 Bombay troops were shipped off from Bomb a y t o Sir C. l4 Napi er in Sinde in 1846. A correspondent of the Calcutta Englishman writes on the subject as follows: - - Had the Governor-General sent to Bombay for an expeditionary force to proceed to Reegoen, I verily be 'Hove that place would have b een in our posses sion long s p. With a, fine Let of steamers in harbour, and two brigades, including two Europ ean regiments at P oona h (only five days distant from the pl ace of em b ar k a ti on ), the Bombay Government could have had their . war frigates and 6,000 gallant and tried soldiers at Rangoon or Martaban in a fortnight after the order had reached eeen d . doubt could one, no have existed of a successful hie* t., Had this h "log practicable before h th ey o w th o e u r i s d fe: t t h h e em d . rea . cle . d r ains.

Had th e B om b a y garrison might have gone direct to Burmah in ten days, and have struck such a blow as 6,000 troops and six war steamers thundered down the Poonah, the steamers walls of Rangoon whilst the Burmese were rubbine their 0 . eyes. "'I he defection of the Bengal 38th has been the cause of a very gratifying demonstration of the loyalty s b t e e e a n mer s embarkedean. with and soldierlike feelings of ono of the irregular Seikh re giments. ` The native officers of the ad Seikh the Infantry went in a body yesterday evening to quarters of their commanding-officer, Captain Repton, and said that baying hav heard that a regiment had refuse d to proceed by sea to Burmab, and that Government were in want of offer troops, - they had come to their services to go there, or anywhere else, and when Capta i n Repton afterwards went into the lines; all the men turned ‘ out a n d l oudly confirmed the assurances of their ` ancients ;' Th e great majority of the regiment are Sikhs, the relit Mussulmans and Hindoos.'

"Trade has been very dull at Bombay during the last fortnight."-- Times. (From the Overland Bombay Times of April 17.) SUMMARY. We men'ioned in our last the Calcutta squadron and force destined for Rangoon had quitted the Hooghly on the 25th, the Madras portion of the force, on board the Bombay flat, on the 28th and 29th; they did not in reality leave till the 27th and 31st respectively. The Madras embarkation appears to have been a matter of unusual interest; it was the largest force that bad ever left the presidency at one time. Operations commenced on the 24 h; unfortunately the weather at this time was unpropitious, the atmosphere all over India having been in a state of general disturbance for the last ten days of March. On the 314, the troops were assembled on the beach at daybreak; 137 boats, ready to receive them, lay just within the reach of the surf, at that time very high, in positions marked by numeral signals corresponding to those of the respective steamers. Under a heavy swell and strong current 4,000 men were transferred in less than two hours time from dry land to the decks of the steamers in the open roadstead, more than a mile away, without a single accident of note. The surf in many instances broke over the boats, wetting the clothes and bedding of the soldiers, yet not a murmur was ut tered. One boat was swamped—her people were picked up by a catamaran and brought on shore, and as hour after wards—the sepoys' clothes, arms, and accoutrements , as thoroughly as immersion could wet them— gain merrily on their way out to sea. Tho Ma- Leet was expected to reach about the sth or 6th The Calcutta squadron had scarcely quitted a furious thunderstorm overtook them, but be the discomfort it occasioned it caused no particular The first of them arrived at the meutbeof the )0o river ea board the Pouitlaufar and taz Luutal lany's steamer Lady Mary Wood on the 30th, and everything prepared for their reception. They were the time put on board the Burmese ire, a vessel of 1,000 tons, lying die- I d. The Madras troops were not looked for le 6th; on the 7th active operations were to ,once. The refraotory 38th Native Infantry have marched by land to guard the frontier. A further iy is expected to take place amongst them on the iy, in which case they will most likely be disbanded, and the most unwise system of keeping regiments on the general strength of the army enlisted for merely local purposes, be abolished. The 3d Seikh Irregulars, on hearing of the misconduct of the sepoys, came forward and volunteered to a man to go wherever and on what ever service Government desired; unfortunately they are too far away from a seaport to be available. The Burmese are said to be bullying and blustering at a great rate—calling on us to come on, as they are tired of seeing our ships in the river doing nothing. They will probably find our activity much more troublesome than our inaction—three hours of a bombardment worse than three months of a blockade. In addition to the force formerly enumerated, hor Majesty's steamer Rattler, which left Penang on t h e 28th ultimo, with Admiral Austen on board, would have joined about the third or fourth; and the Nerbudda and Mahanuddy from the' Hooghly and Akyab—the Lord W. Bentinck taking the place of the latter—were or• dared for river service; and to all appearance we aro now determined to push on as far and as fast as pos sible. It seems to be thought likely that Rangoon will be occupied and maintained by our troops during the rains—the steamers keeping up the communication with Amherst in case of sickness. Promo itself will be cap tured at once, and a strong outpost established in the in terior beyond the limit of excessive fall as far up as pries deuce permits, to enable operations to be resumed at once on the commencement of the fair weather. Oriental Monarchs are in general kept so profound in the dark in reference to the real state of matters around them, that every encounter is represented to them as a victory on their side, every retirement on the part of their adver saries as a confession of defeat; and it is most important where practicable, to leave them no breathing space, bat repeat blow after blow until they are crushed to the ground. Sir Colin Campbell's force returned to Peshawar on the 27th ult , having apparently reduced the enemy to subjection and compelled him to promise payment of a fine and tribute. The accounts of an attack made on the force, and the fighting with severe loss on both sides, have proved wholly unfounded. They have given hostages for their good conduct in future. News re ceived yesterday, however, leads to the apprehension that the force will require again to go out into the dis tricts, to prevent the marauders plundering the villages under our protection. The Sindo Commissioner, Mr. Frere, returned to Kurrachee on the 4th inst. from his prolonged tour of inspection. The fortnight following the 19th March, when the storm first made its appearance, has been remarkable all over India for the strangeness of the weather and the frequency of thunder and lightning, with violent falls of hail all over the country from 6 to 32 degrees north. The 19th, the 25th, the 31st March, and ad and 4th April were the periods of most noteable disturbance. The chief hail-storms occurred about the 25th—the thunder and wind, which were especially violent at Calcutta and Kurrachee, in exactly the same parallel, 1,500 miles apart, on the 4th inst. On the 31st there was a severe earthquake all over the north-west provinces. The hot weather is no* setting iu, and the temperature at Bombay getting very uncomfortable. The Marquis of Dalhousie is at Calcutta, performing with unsurpassable diligence and energy the duties of Governor- General and Commander•in-Chief, Sir W. Gomm remaining in the north-west. The Marchioness has been compelled by sickness to return home. Mr. Poacocke, legislative member of council, arrived at Calcutta and assumed office on the 23. The act for the appointment of permanent sheriff for the three Presidencies has just been published. The duties are no longer to be performed vicariously, and the sinecures which have amongst them cost above 300,0001., bestowed within the last half century on gentlemen in favour in high places, will thus become extinguished. The sheriff hereafter is to be chosen by Government, for life or good conduct, from a list of three, to be sent up by the Supreme Court. He must be a barrister or solicitor of the court, and not in the exercise of any other profession. He acts at once as sheriff, superintendent of gaols and bridewells, and coroner. Mr. Arthur, our present coroner, will, it is supposed, receive the Bombay appointment. The Act takes effect from December. The Governor of Bombay and Commander of the Forces aro at Mahabuleshwar enjoying the cool climate of the hills. They will spend the rains at Poona, and return to the presidency about November. The Senior Member of Council, Mr. Blanc, has gone round to Madras, and proceeded thence, it is said, to Burmsh, for change of air. Tho Baroda Government have paid no attention whatever to the instructions conveyed to them through the resident to pay the debts contracted by the Sertanee Joetabhace during the period of the in famous sequestration of her property, from the estate, and to allow her from her own funds a monthly stipend suited to her rank. We await, with much anxiety, the decision from home on these subjects—expected on all hands to be favourable to the victim of unheard-of cruelties, should she till then continue to survive. An important omission seems to have been committed by Government in the preparation of the Act for the suppression of frauds in packing cotton; no provision exists for the detection of the crime, which never _flou rished in greater luxurianoe than at present. The second presentation of diplomas occurred at the Grand Medical College on the 13th. The establishment has given unbounded satisfaction—the native surgeons who last year received diplomas being now in the en joyment of a flourishing and successful practice. Commodore Sir H. Leeke, Commander-in-Chief of the Indian navy, has signalised the commencement of his career by two highly popular orders; one directing heads of intelligence to be prepared on board vessels of war coming from foreign ports, to be dispatched on shore for the service of newspaper reporters the moment the vessel makes her moorings; the other, desiring that when disabled steamers of other services are met with, every assistance shall be afforded them by men-of-war — their passengers, parcels, or letters, should they con tain any, to be brought on for them to the presidency. Just as the Ajhaha, about to start for Suez with the mails, was getting up her steam on the 3d April, Acbar, with the mails of Bth March from London, anchored alongside of he r, and the two were for a couple of hours in the harbo ur to g ether.

The Burmese were said to have assumed the King Catnbyses' vein— daring us to advance on Rangoon, as "they were tired seeing our ships in the river doing nothing," Very probably, and we dare say they were tired enough of their being in the neighbourhood at all; but they would have much less occasion for of we ariness with them in a state of passiveness than notion. Three hours of a bombardment will, we suspect, be found much more tiresome than three months of a blockade. However t his may be, we dare say General Godwin would avoid as much as possible wearying them with delay, and that by this time they will be in a p tion to speak from experience both as to the pas s i ve and active system of British tactics. It seems to be the belief that no time will be lost in pushing up the river as far and as fast as possible. There is nothing in a ease suet' as this like striking home at once to Burmah. Mary Wood, we " By a letter received per Lady learn that the expedition was to commence the cam paign yes terday; so that in a few days . we must be in receipt of auth entic intelligence of the operations intention aga i ns t Rangoon. It was the n that the work should be b e g un b y the phipon egethon, which to wou ld lead in and o p en the ball upon the occasion, the pereolimumulood, or; sclpiridfteirngtv oup his flag to that vessel, etintend the titoiceis in hand. The Burmese are said to have made their de ! fenc.3.s on the island side of the town, with a view of es caping, as far as possible, the damaging effects of the rough salutes prepared for them in the formidable ship batteries to which they have ere this, we expect, been exposed. The Rangoon stockades, well knocked about the ears of the enemy, may produce a feeling in the Court of diva that will induce a readier disposition for the settlement of differences than negotiation, without the example, has failed to achieve. If the town be taken, as we doubt not it will be, General Goodwin is strong enough to hold it against any odds; but if, on the other hand, its loss does not alter the resolution of his golden footed Majesty, we may look for a protracted war, of which the termination cannot be accomplished during the present season, or without a considerable augmenta tion of our land forces. We are informed that two river steamers are fitting out for the expedition. Amongst the appointments enumerated in the staff list of the ex pedition, we have observed that of a field paymaster."— Bengal flurkaru, April 6. We extract the following from a letter written at the mouth of the Rangoon river ou the 31st ultimo;—" I suppose you expect no intelligence of importance from hence, and therefore will not be disappointed to learn that there is none. Detachments of" the 18th Roy a l Irish and the 40th Native Infantry arrived in the Futty Allum, Futty Rossack, and steamer Erin, this morning. We are in hourly expectation of seeing the steamers from Madras and Bengal, and the Phlegethon is anchored 15 miles outside the mouth of the river with pilots on board for any vessel which may require one. The buoys which came in the Bengal have been laid down and painted, and this may be called the first instalment of our proceedings. They appear so substantial and en during that it looks very much as if we intended to make a home here. Two days ago a canoe came down from Rangoon with three or four Burmese to request the Commodore to return a kind of junk—a small tning --whielvwescsaizadgme,,kinwago in attempting to break the blockade; but there can be no doubt that their real object was to see what we are about, two transports having arrived the day before. They said that the Gover nor of Rangoon is quite disappointed that we have not ere this tried our strength with him, and that ho believes we are only blustering; so you see the Burmese have no present intention of yielding, whatever they may be disposed to do when Rangoon is ours. It is also said that some days ago the Mirtaban Governor sent to Co lonel Bogle to say that as we had given them till the Ist of April to come in to our terms, they would attack us that day if we did not attack them. I do not know whether this is true, but so says report.—lbid. [PRICE SD. SINDE. We learn from recent letters from Kurrachee, that Mr. Frere, the Commissioner, had returned on the 4th inst. Mr. Cold, recently returned from England, was to take charge of the customs establishment during Mr. MaLecd's absence at Bombay on leave. Rain had threatened on 25th and 26th, but had passed off with a very light shower, accompanied by thunder and lightning. The weather was still changeable, but the inhabitants of Kur rachee were very healthy. Oa the sth inst., a severe storm of thunder, rain, and hail had occurred at Kurra chee. The sth Native Light Infantry had embarked on the 26th ult., in country boats, for Vingorla, cn route for Dharwar. THE NORTH-WEST FRONTIER. From the colamns of our Delhi contemporary we gather the following items from Peshawar and the fron tier:—" We learn from _Peshawar that Ghuzun Khan, Chief of Keshkar, who some time since joined the Swattees with 2,000 troops against the British, had been in treaty with the authorities for the purpose of effect ing the capture of the Swat Chieftain; the latter, how ever, was too sharp for him, and on Ghuzan Khan pre senting himself, he found the tables turned, for he was taken prisoner, and marched off to Swat, and the Kash kar troops returned to their villages. Late letters (dated the 2d of April) mention the arrival of Major Mackeson at Peshawur. The Swattees had gone back to their villages and all was quiet. On the Ist instant another outrage was committed near the village of Muchnee by Darya Khan Momund, and about fifty of his followers, on some eight or ten merchants travelling with about 5,000 rupees worth of property towards Kohut. One of the merchants was killed and three wounded; the remainder returned to Peshawur and com plained to the commissioner of the outrage. An order was sent to the Maliks of Muchnee to produce the thieves. They replied that it was out of their power to do so, as Darya Khan, who had been causing great dis turbances all over the district, was alone answerable for the outrage. The Malaks were then ordered to be re least:d, and steps are about to be taken to apprehend Darya Khan." The Lahore Chronicle of th© 7th instant supplies the following disheartening accounts of the stata of matters : " We regret much to hear that fresh troubles are awaiting cur authorities, both political and military, at Peshawar. It was known at the station on the 30th of March, that in three days after the return of Brigadier Campbell and his force from the northern extremity of the valley, that the Momands and Swattees had coalesced, and were assembling in considerable num bers, the teatsr under the leadership of their King, who is also their high priest. It was reported that some of them had seized the Raneezale Maulik, who had taken the lead in effecting the settlement of the previ ous question' with Colonel Mackeson, plundered his house and property, and told the friends and role-. lions of the hostages in the hands of the commis sioner that they had better quit the country, as the sum stipulated for as a fine should not be paid. It was given out by th ese gentry that they proposed laying down a different line of frontier to that marked out by our Go vernment! It was even believed they might bring themselves to attack the post of Ia upoor Gurhee, held by Li eu t enan t Lnmsden, of the Guides, and Lieutenant Henderson, of the 31 Punjab Infantry, who quitted Elazsrah about the 20th of March, and has been some ten days in the Yoozufaaie country. As a matter of course, Brigadier Campbell will have to go out again, and we are much mistaken. if late events will not have shown him that it will be the safest and most politic plan to draw his sword, throw away the scabbard, and give the Swattees, to begin with, such a lesson as will last them half a generation at least. Amongst our extracts will be found particulars of a skirmish betwixt a detachment of . the 4th Punjaub Cavalry with come of the frontier police, and a party of Kusranees, near Dere Fatah Khau, a town fifty miles from Dera Ismael Khan, in which we had a jemedar and three men killed, and three wounded. The town had been plundered, and five of the police killed, and as many wounded, on the 17th ult. Sir IL Lewrenee, Colonel Napier, and Major Nicholson reached the eceno of the skirmish on the 19th, and no doubt took active measures for following up and securing those of the marauders who might have fallen in their way.

The 14th Madras Native Infantry, from Kulladghee, was expected at Bellary by the 28th inst., when the Ist Madras Native Infantry would march for Madras. The hot weather had set in at Bellary, but the usual mango showers had this reason been wanting. The Madras papers announce the sudden death, on the 27th ult., of Surgeon W.

Greatheatl., engineers—the three latter on medical certificate. The Madras Spectator adverts to the singular fact of Sir Richard Armstrong not having inspected the regiments forming the brigade recently sent from that presidency to Burmah, either individually or collectively. The circumstance is certainly sufficiently strange, seeing that the corps were encamped at Madras for at least a week or ten days before their embarkation. We give to-day some further notices of the earthquake of the 31st ult. Simla seems the northernmost point from which accounts have been received—Lucknow the southernmost; so that, so far as we at present know, it has extended from about 27 to 31 deg., and from 77 to 81 deg. east and west, or about 300 miles each way. It is said to have occurred at the same moment at Lucknow, Meerut, and Mussoorie; and if this be the case, the line connecting these points together will be that of emana tion. The Atlicnaum informs us that sentence of a year's imprisonment in the gaol at Madras had been passed on Lieutenant O'Brien - and Ensign reacocke, 84th Foot, who had been convicted of having caused the death of an old woman by running her down in the streets of Trichinopoly sometime back; and that they were on their way down to the' presidency to undergo their punishment. The young gentlemen must have been found guilty of very gross carelessness indeed—of cul pable homicide in fact—before such a severe sentence was passed on them. Had the anything rold creature could througheen called aofficers accident, or which n accident, the would h e r decentlyde at have b have escaped punishment; not an excuse could, it seems, be brought fcrward in their favour, and they have ac cordingly been very properly punished for their care lessness, as a warning to others that people's lives are not wantonly to be trifled with. Sir C. Napier's Sukbur order of the 21st November, 1842, would well apply in this case:—" Gentlemen as well as beggars may, if they like, ride to the devil when they get on horseback, but neither gentlemen, nor beggars, have a right to send other people there, which will be the case if furious riding be allowed in the camp or bazaar." theThMeattahsens66epysuominwfohromn embarking susth foratthes rmpißriotevaih on evinced theby 31st ult. gave sufficient refutation to the calumnious re ports spread from Calcutta of their unwillingness to and at the same time beg to sta te proceed on foreign service.

No, good brother, you never have had, nor never will have, an op portunity of saying that the Bombay sepoy has refused to go where he is bid—of that you may be certain; our men, if not all high caste, aro at any rate of high mili tary principle. The Bengal Burkaru of the 4th instant contains the following aceount of a severe storm which took place at Calcutta on the evening of Saturday, the 3d. We regret to learn that the Rev. Mr. Weideman, professor of Bishop's College, was drowned in the storm while cross ing the river:— , " A singularly severe north-wester visited Calcutta this evening, at about twenty minutes past six. It came on so suddenly, and with such tremendous violence, that we fear we shall have to record some accidents to the shipping. In the midst of this violent storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, we consulted a sympiesometsr, an aneroid, and a common barometer, and found them all rising and indicating fine weather! The atmosphere, which was sultry and heavy enough a minute or two before the storm, is now delightfully cool and elastic. The Electric Telegraph of this evening reports the fol lowing Half-past 6, r ar., Calcutta—A furious squall from the south. Barometer rose from 29.800 to 29.995. Very vivid lightning. Diamond Harbour reported the squall severe; much thunder and lightning; no rain.'" CHINA. Our advices from China are dated Hong-Kong, the 30th of March. We learn that the monthly mail of the 24th of January, from England, had not come forward. The Ganges waited at Galle till the 12th instant for it, and arrived here on the 27th instant. We are supplied with European news to the Bth of January, by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamer Shanghae, which arrived from Cal cutta to the Bth. There is nothing very striking to advise this month. The Kwangsi reb3llion is still talked of, and we hear of small phces being ataeked by banditti, no doubt in connexlon with the insurgents, but nothing decisive is known. In Hong-Kong the troops continued healthy, though the weather has been very unfavourable, and generally the colony is much freer from the late epidemic of smallpox. The journals are full of the trial of the Erin's case, brought against the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany, for illegally selling cargo and retaining pro• ceeds. A verdict has been given against the company. The emigration to California is still in progress. Upwards of fifty ships have sailed, taking, it is esti mates, about 15,000 emigrants. His Excellency Sir George Bonham takes his de parture for England in the Ganges for a temporary absence. An address from the residents and mer chantscolony and Canton has been presented to hhn, as o a f the mark of respect and esteem. His Excellency Major-General Jervois will assume the government and all the functions of Sir George Bonham till the arrival of the January mail, which it is supposed will bring Dr. Bowring's commission RS Plenipotentiary end Chief Superintendent of Trade. We hear of the total loss of the ship Emperor of China, from London to Shanghae, in the Banda Sea, with a valuable cargo of piece goods—crew -saved. We also hear of the loss of the Danish ship Canton, in the Pacific. Trade is generally re vivin g . The p rice of im ports is maintained, but the demand has cf silk not been large.
