INDIA.

We have received files of journals from Bombay
to the 29th, and from Calcutta to the 18th Sept.,
with telegraphic reports from Calcutta through
Bombay to September 25.
The P. and 0. S. Benares, with the English
mails of the 26th August and 3rd September,
arrived in Bombay harbour on the 24th of the
latter month.

The 3rd Baths had been despatched from Labors
ou an urgent requisition by telegram from Murree,
to Sittani, the seat of disaffection on toe north-
west frontier.

Otders have been issued to stop all leave of ab-
sence to officen of corp. stationed in the Punjaub
for the prasent, owing to the disaffected state of the
frontier.

The Governor-General was to leave Simla on the
15th October for Sealkote, where he would hold a
darhar and proceed thence to Peshawur. He was
to arrive about the middle of January at Lahore,
and there hold his council.

The • alleged to be the Nana Sahib turns
out to be a gooro, or high priest of the Mahrattas ;
and he now awaits the final orders of government
for his disposal. There is a good deal of excite-
ment on the subject, some blaming the govern-
ment for allowing themselves to be "sold," some
laughing at its ridiculous position : some main-
tem that the prisoner deserves hanging for acting
as a decoy to divert attention from the great Gri-
t minaL

At Ellichpoor a murderous attack bad been
made on Mrs. Maoqueid, the wife of Captain
Maoquoid, of the sth Regiment, H.C. The buy
(for he is only about 18 or 20 years of age) who
committed it had been taken on trial as a servant,
and had been iu Captain Macquoid's service
about three weeks or a month, but was dis-
charged about two or three days before the
ocenrrenoe happened ; he took his pay on the
let, and left without any apparent reluctance.
The neat morning the ruffian walked into the house
'about 6 o'clock, and taking Captain Macquoid's
sword, proceeded upstairs to the bedroom, where
he attacked Mrs. Macquoid when asleep, and
before she managed to escape inflicted several
severe blows and cute with the back of the sword.
One of the cute divided the bone of the left arm
completely, and another severed the small bone
of the right leg just below the knee joint. Every
time she attempted to rise he brought her down
with a cut. The ayah happened to come in at the
time, and gave the alarm ; the ruffian immediately
lied out, but was pursued by Captain Macquoids
horse-keepers, who were armed with spears. He
was kept at bay in • muddy ditch near the cow-
pound, and there after a little resistance, he was
so severely pierced that he died almost instantly.'
His body wail burned by the authority of some oue
of the station officers. The principal cause which
is ascribed to the man for committing theta fiendish
act is, that he was some days previously ordered
to be slippered for haviug smoked ganja in the
vicinity of the lady's bungalow' and he took
advantage of the gentian:lase.; absence to have his
revenge.
The Indian papers are much oorsipied with the
coming Crawley trial. ThePoolui Oteareeratates that
52 non-commissioned officers and privates of the
6th Dragoons were going home ou the court-martial
hominess, besides several officers. Major Champion
proceeds in charge of the official documents couneeted
with the cam, and also as a willows. The Tunes
India and some other papers of character maintain
that. English opinion has been altogether misled,
and that Ociionel Crawley will come well out of the
"investigation.
