LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

INDIA.

The Bombay Times of August 30 states that the
commander-in-chief is thinking of going into Cash-
mere about the end of September, taking Captains
Burns and Moore, respectively private secretary
and head-quarters statt interpreter, with him. He
will thence visit Peshawur, and join the camp of
exercise at Lahore in the latter end of December.
This camp will consist of four troops of Horse
Artillery, four batteries of field artillery, two regi-
ments of hussars (20th and 21st), five regiments of
British infantry, and six regiments of native infan-
try, in all about 47 guns and 1,100 men. The Ride
Brigade from Delhi are to form the Governor-
General's escort during his ensuing tour through
the Punjaub.
The supposed Nana arrived at Cawnpore on the
22nd ult., under a Sikh escort; the period of the
year making it inconvenient, if not dangerous, to
send Europeans in charge. "We fear (says the
Bombay Times) there is but small ground left for
believing him to be the Nana, although in some
well-informed quarters the ides is still enter-
tained. The man who was arrested by Captain
Nuttall's polio°, and put upon his trial at Hy-
derabad as Kishen Rao, turns out to have been,
as we surmised, a mere police-made conspiator.,
and has been set at liberty. Simultaneously the
man arrested at Khandalla by Mr. Forget! as
Kiahen Rao, and afterwards released, has been
identified as the Nana's eldest brother, and is
again in custody. The re-arrest of this man, who,
it may be remembered, was taken upon the evi-
dence of Gya Persaud, the same spy who denounced
the alleged Nana, lends some colour to the belief
that we may have the real Nana, also, after all.
A few days, however, will soon remove all uncer•
tainty upon the point."—[A teleg:am, given else-
where, states that it has been ascertained the pri-
soner is not Nana Sahib.]
We find in the Bengal Harkens (Calcutta) of
August 22 the following paragraphe :

The all engrossing subject of convention in this city is
the great " Burney Case." It is an action for defamation
of character brought by Colonel (now Major-General) Bur.
my against Lieutenant and Adjutant (now Captain) Eyre,
of her Majerty's 38th Regiment. Damages are laid at
5,000/, and altogether it is one of the most remarkable
and painful illustnitions of military life in India that
have ever seen the light.—[A telegram states that 2,000
rupees have been given, with co la]
The Viceroy's camp is to leave Balks for Sealkote on the
Ist October. His excellency will proceed "Over the hills
and far away" to the latter station, which he expects to
reads about the 3rd November. From Sealkote Lord Elgin
will march to Peshawar, and thence back to Lahore,
where he will probably arrive about the 15th January.
The standing camp of isstraction at Labors,
under the commanderinahiers personal super
vision, will consist of 10,000 men. The Vieeroy's
Legislative Council will also assemble in the capital of the
Punjab. His excellency will, moreover, open the Exhibition
in person, and great will be the rejoicings this ensuing eold
weather throughout the land of the five rivers. For the
Isfoemation of those who take an interest in the movements
of the Liesitemat-Governor of Bengal, we have the pleasure
to state that his honour left Camisole on the afternoon of
the 12th, and arrived at BhaLalpore on the 13th.

authorities to remove the troops to a more healthy locality
may possibly prove eneeessfal in stayiig the progress of this
terrible scourge.

THE JAPANESE FIRING AT FOREIGN

the following account of the hostile operations in
Japan, which were briefly reported in the Ban
