mesas of the raggedness of the ground, opened a fusillade
solar* the gunboat, la order to promat its grew from
pinkies it eft. The enemy direeted a eansemede whist our
Cossacks, bat his Ire was not of lose duration. Owing to a
violent met wind lowering the level of the water, the best

side. Ose of the enemy's large steamers then drew near to

opined a 'Wept casemate against the Cossack., sad made
every possible effort to rave the .treaded boat.

In the meantime Lieutenant•Calonel Dknianoff, com

their boat.

" I send with the present report the flag and the Union
Jack taken by oar Cossacks."

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

We have received our despatches from India by
the Overland Mail. The dates are :—Calcutta, July
4 ; Bombay, July 11.
_. _ ..

The following is the general summary of the
Bombay Mines of July 10:
"During the rains, as usual, the operations alike
of commerce and war are suspended. At present
there is pesos on all our borders, and the rumours of
an expedition to Persia prove groundless. We have
within the last four weeks had a fall of forty inches
of rain, and the season is eminently auspicious for
the operations of agriculture now in rapid pro.
gnes. Money is plentiful, and speculation be.
coming alive again. The Four per Cent.
Loan has risen from fifteen to seven per cent.
discount within the past three months. The Gover-
nor-General continues at the Neilgherries; his health
is improving—Lord Harris is at Madras—and Lord
Elphinstone in the Deccan. The dismissal of our
senior magistrate was announced yesterday. Mr.
Crawford, formerly banister, sines 1852 Chief Judge
in the Small Cause Court, takes his place. There
seems no intention to prosecute Mr. Corfield for per-
jury, although it is most likely the Court of Directors
will remove him from their service."
