for the construction of canals and other hydraulic
works for the improvement of the streams and rivers
of Bootie. His Majesty haying, in a special procla-
mation, testified his satisfaction to the inhabitants of

It is stated that the Bavarian government has
notified to the great powers the arrangement, now
complete, by which it is proposed to provide a suc-

proposed to make Prince Adalbert of Bavaria, young-
est son of the ex-King Louis, and brother of the
reigning monarchs of Bavaria and Greece, the heir
presumptive to the throne of the latter country. The
Prince is said to have declared himself ready to adopt
the 40th article of the protocol which constituted the
monarchy, and with it the Greek religion. Prince
Adalbert was born in 1828, and is unmarried.

INDIA AND CHINA.
THE OVERLAND MAIL.
We have received our despatches in anticipation of
the Overland Mail from India. The dates are :
Bombay, September 14; Madrea, Sept. 13; Calcutta,
Sept. 7; Canton, Aug. 24.
Our Bombay correspondent writes ea follows :
BOMBAY, Barr. 14.
News from Rangoon to the 26th, and from Moul-
.main to the 19th of August, has just reached Bom-
bay, via Calcutta. The health of the gallant old
Commodore Lambert having partially suffered from
continual exertion, he had proceeded to Moulmein
for change and relaxation—he reached this place on
the 16th. The garrison of Martaban was incessantly
annoyed by straggling parties of Burmese, who never
stopped to let our men have a brush with them. One
European artilleryman had been shot dead by them.
Alarge body of the enemy was said to be in the''
neighbourhood, concealed in the jungles. After these
a force was to be sent out when a reinforcement
reached Moulmein from Madras. The present gar-'
rime of Martaban is to be pushed up to Thoung-noo
when others arrive to take thew places. From ltan-1
goon there is very little news. The rains had been
very heavy, but fortunately very little sickness pre-
vailed. An army of 10,000 to 16,000 men is said to
await us at Promo ; 7,000 at Pegu, with 4,000 eu-
logy horse; 10,000 at Sheo-gain ; and other consider-
able bodies at other posts close at hand ; while Ma
itself is reported to be crowded with soldiers.
Eleven guns have been put in position on the river
near Promo, the capture of which will afford pro-
bably half an hour's amusement to the sailors of the
fleet. A troop of horse artillery and the 111th Native
Infantry left Madras for Rangoon on the 30th of
August. The let European Fusiliers was to follow
on the 6th inst. The Fire Queen steamer had been
armed with eight twelve-pounders, under the super-
intendence of Commodore Lambert, at Moulmein.
The gallant officer returned in her to Rangoon on
the 20th. Two thousand men are to be taken up at
a time to Proms by the steamers. When the whole
army shall have thus reached that place, expected to
be about the 111 of January, a movement on Ava is
to be made, the let of February being
likely to arrive before it gets properly on
its way. This seems • dreadful delay, but
we must assume there is no help for it.
At this rate we cannot expect to hear of Ma being
in our hands before the end of March—six months
hence! Our army will coexist of about 16,000 in-
fantry and 1,000 artillery; no cavalry has as yet
been ordered for service, which makes many think
that our troops will go up by steamers as far as pos-
sible, and only commence marching when forced.
Some 4,000 men at least will be left at Rangoon,
Promo, Bassein, and Martaban, leaving 12,000 to
advance on the capital—rather a small force, consi-
dering what it is likely they may have to encounter.
General Bundoolah's son, with the ex-Governor of
Rangoon end Martabao, are at Prome; they are said
to wish to deliver themselves up to us—the fact
being that they wished to stop the steamers from
plying up and down the river while negotiating
with us. Captain Shadwell, of the Sphynx, has su-
perseded Captain Tarlton in the command of the
flotilla in virtue of his seniority. General Godwin,
with Commodore Lambert, and 300 men of the
18th Royal Irish, were to embark on the 26th or
27th on the Fire Queen for the Irawaddy. The brig
Maxeppa, laden chiefly with supplies and mess stores,
was totally lost about 40 miles outside the mouth of
the Rangoon river; crew all saved. The awe inspi-
ring and beautiful steamer Nemesis reached Rangoon
from China on the 12th Aug. The governor ap-
pointed by Captain Tarlton to the town of Donabew
having incurred the ill-will of the people, they set
fire to the town, which he then found too hot to hold
him, and bolted! The town of Rangoon is being
very greatly extended by the people building all
along to Kemendine, and it is expected that on the
annexation decree going forth Maulmain will be
wholly deserted. Roofs of plinks have been built
over the steamers Prosperine and Nemesis, to protect
the crews from the enemy's bullets while proceeding
up the river. Captain Tarlton had got to Meeaday,
above Prome. The ex-governor of Della wishes to
surrender, but fears for his life. The captain and
crew, with • lady passenger, of the wrecked brig
Mag having fallen into the hands of a Burmese
4;Plia' man of rank half way betwein Rangoon and Cape
Negrais, were very kindly treated, and sent by him
under safe escort to Ransom.

Fran the Puojsub we have rutted bat little
news of late; that little formiadows trouble and
turmoil at an early date. The 111th irrigable cavalry
had gone out from Peshawir to the outpost of
Shobkedr the vie, a the MP* N.I and two guns
which accompanied those born clamp, had halted on
the Peshawar side of the Cabool river. No enemy
could be heard of, and they would, it was believed,
at once return to camp. The Ma nned& have not yet
apparently taken heart sialleint to brave our wrath;
the eold mason will no doubt And a held fora again
out on a village-destroying crusade. Along the
Hamra frontier matters wore a suspicions aspect.
These border disturbances are said to be fomented
by a body of bialioniedans about Delhi, and in other
cities in the north-west. Sir Witt Campbell was
still at Hewn] Pindes on the 23rd August, enjoying
the pure air of the station for a while before quitting
W eimate{:sor ever. He had met his successor, Gen.
Rebel% re on his way to Peshawur, and
hed no doubt given him • lemon or two in refer-
ence to meters at and around Peshawar. A good
deal of sickness, principally fever, prevailed at La-
hore and Pind Dadun K. At Moat= very
heavy rain had fallen, but as yet the station was
tolerably free from sickness. The native in charge
of the treasury had made away with about 3,0001.
Scarcely a word of news has been received from
Soinde since my last—sickness was on the increase
both at Sulker and Hydrabad, owing to the immense
quantity of rain which had fallen, and caused such a
and extensive inundation by the Indus.
B. L. Shame, 22d Native Infantry, has been
removed from his command, and is maid to be
about being brought to a court-martial, for hav-
ing busied himself with political matters quite
out of his line of duty. What them matters can
be is a puszle—unless he, while at Sukkur,
with his corps became acquainted with that old
traitor and deep-dyed villain Ali Moored. Colonel
St. John takes command of the 22nd, from the 27th
N.I. The state of feeling amongst the officers of the
former corps is said to be anything but what it
might and ought to be; and for this reason Colonel
St. John has been chosen to put them all to rights
n
ag There has been more fighting in Berar, the Nisam
apparently allowing his hopeful vassals to cut each
' other's throats as it best pleases them. This cannot
be wondered at, when he allows his ministers to be
confined in his capital by their creditors, and is even
believed to have connived at the attempt made at
the city gate on the life of old Soorakool-Moolk, his
prime minister. The pay of his contingent is now
seven months in arrears. He either cannot or will
not pay them—nor will the British government.
Yet the poor fellows must support themselves by
borrowing at enormous interest. Can anything be
more shameful

Some important changes in the Bombay Bank
constitution are about liectire petitioned for, in accord-
ance with resolutions at a meeting of share-
holders held on the 2o inst. The Times nye:—
"

A bonus fund, to induce old civilians to retire from
the service, will not, it appears, answer for Bombay.
None of the seniors will go, and the juniors would
not boy them out even if they would. Tho com-
mandaota of all the provincial police corps have been
appointed superintendents of general police in their
districts, under the new rural police arrangements.
The district of Angrias Geisha is to be transformed
into a sub-collectorate subordinate to Tannah. The
health of Professor Patton lies much improved, but
it is feared he must go home.
A dividend of four per cent. for the past half-year
has been declared by the Delhi Bank, ono per cent.
being carried to rtserve-fund account. The head-
qaarters of the Agra Bank is to be removed to Cal-
cutta. Dr. A. Eau, civil surgeon at Delhi, has re-
tired on 7001. a year. Mr. J. Sutcliffe has been
nominated principal of the Ilindoo College, Cal-
matte. Nearly all the Benarea rioters have
been released, on security, for future good
behaviour; several of the ringleaders are to be tried.
The East Indians of Madras are at length beginning
to talk of emigrating to Australia. The Runnymede
sails positively from Bombay on the 25th with about
DO emigrants, many of whom aro East Indians.
Ensign It. E Henry, 86th Ft., has been taken on
the staff of Lord Falkland as an extra A.D.C. Two
lawyers, Messrs. Dickens and Peterson, engaged on
opposite sides of a case in the Calcutta Supreme
Court, fell out at Tiffin (after the wine had fallen in)
and were understood to have agreed to fight a duel
on the conclusion of the trial. lhe chief magistrate
got word of the affair, and bound each of them over
in 30,000 rs. to keep the peace for ever and a day.

Seer it.
The regular mail left last night by the Auckland:
the Achilles, with a mail and the passengers, leaves
to-day at 1 o'clock. We lest night received news
from rseinde is the 11th inst. The foundation stone
of &protestant church was laid with great ceremony
at Kurrachee on the 9th, by the commissioner,
assisted by the clergy, the general, rid staff, and the
whole community. A company of her Majesty's
64th Foot, with the regimental colour and band, and
four guns of the Ist troop Horse Artillery, were pre-
sent at the ceremony. Eleven guns were fired on the
commissioner reaching the ground ; a royal salute
on the stone being lowered into its place the
band playing the National Anthem the while. The
whole ceremony was well got through with, and was
joined in right heartily by all present. The present
was the first stone of • regular place of I'rotestant
worship ever laid either in &inde or the Punjaub—
the greater the reproach to us that it should be so.
Major bbawe, 22nd N. 1., has come to Bombay for
trial : his offence appears to have been what I
imagined; he has been comforting Ali Moored
under his misfortunes, and probably giving him the
benefit of his advice and counsel. No great crime
that one would suppose. 'iho weather was
pleasant, and sickness trifling.—The troops sent
out from Peshawar on the 17th, returned on
the 27th. Lieutenant Sanders, with a troop
of the 7th cavalry had pursued a fellow who tied
from them, and overtaking him cut him to pieces : it
turned out he was one of our own men, belonging to
Lumsden's corps! The new taxes imposed on shop-
keepers at I'm4wur had caused great dissatisfaction
—they, of course do not like being taxed at all.
Brigadier 11. W. Breton has been appointed a Briga-
dier General during General Godwin's absence on field
service. Promo is to be occupied immediately and the
annexation of the country up to that city proclaimed.
It is said Lord Falkland goes to the hills on the
Bth Oct. Captain Carey goes home, it is reported,
immediately. Captain Henry succeeds him as pri-
vate secretary—his brother being brought perma-
nently on the staff as A.D.C. Mr. Spots, senior
magistrate of police, has been very ill, and goes to
the hills for a change. Mr. Murphy, chief inter-
preter supremo court, goes to Egypt on leave for a
few mouths. We had a pretty severe thunder storm
last evening, and gentle petitioned rain all night.
This was likely the forerunner of the Elephants.,
which terminate our monsoon.

The Calcutta Englishman has the following later
news from Burmah:

Ramooorr, Auo. 28.—Captain Tariota', of the Fox, re-
turned yesterday to Rangoon, hating been relieved by
Captain Shadwell, of the Spbynz, from the command of the
steamflotilla up the river. Re states that a paper was
found at llemiday, purporting to be a copy of a report to
the King of Av., in which it is stated that at the afters of
Rangoon 1,240 Europeans were killed, and that our alarm
is so gnat that we bare 1,000 sentries round our camp at
night. A very moderate exaggeration this, considering the
general tendency of the Burmese character.
August 31.—The arrangements fur the advance to
Proms are progressing rapidly. The troops to form the
Ist brigade are, I believe, H. lit's 18th Royal Irish, 80th
Foot, end a native infante. regiment under Brigadier Reig-
nolds, C. 8., a company of Madras Artillery, with its light
field battery, and two S-ineh iron howitzers' under Lieut.-
Col. Feud, the Sappers and Misers, and Engineers' de-
partment, under Major Fraser; the Major-General proceeds
in command of the whole. The Fire Queen and captured
Chinese junk are now being loaded with the gam, ammuni-
tion, and ordnance stores; and as woo as this is com-
pleted, they are to proceed without delay to Hounds, on
the Irrawaddy, and stay there till the troops arrive in the
smaller steamers, which will leave Rangoon about the 20th
er 26th premise.
Two transports are to remain at Henzada as receiving
ships; ammunition, storm and supplies to be sent thither
trombones to small vessels or boats, and forwarded on in the
larger steamers to Prome—a party of marines to protect the
depot.
Oa the arrival of the dust detachment at Proms, the
steamers will return and take up a second, and Do on till
the whole form is collected there. The whole of the troops
now here will move on, leaving the new arrivals to take
our place.
The Burmese are mid to have established a very strong
stockade seven miles from Prone inland, admittmg that
they mama resist our steamers ; but that they intend doing
great deeds when then they catch us away from their pro-
tection.

—The Steenser Tanneries arrived yesterday afternoon,
and the mail, for Calcutta direct, is to be closed at 4 p.m.
to-day, se we ars not iadulged with much time for corre-
spondence. Nothing has transpired as to the farther In-
tentions or wishes of the Governor-General ; but there is •
general belief that we shall not go beyond Proms, and that
all the eoontry to the south of it will undoobtecily be su-
nned.

The Haa. Compeny's steamer Peron is daily expected
from Madras with the first detachment of the reinforcements,
and the Sphinx sad Mosuffer with transports may be looked
for about the 10th or 12th proximo.
No. 3 Light field (horse) battery is also expected from
Calcutta about the same time, to be attached to Major Reid's
occapony of Bengal Artillery.
Captain Keighley, of the 49th Madras Native Infantry,
has been appointed to °Mame in the Quarter-Master. Hese-
rare Department, and is actively engaged in procuring
boats, and preparing them for the reception of troops, and
Lieut. Voyle, of the Bengal Artillery, is appointed an
officiating deputy commissary of ordnance to remain in
charge of the stores hem, on. Lieut. 2bertson's departure
with the advance.

The troops are pretty healthy again; during the last
three days we have had little or no rain, and the heat is
very great.
