INDIA.

In Calcutta the capture of the man supposed to
be Nana Sahib does not appear to excite much at-
tention. The news when first received was re-
garded with considerable incredulity, and it would
seem that this feeling still prevails to some extent,
although additional information had been trans-
mitted by telegraph. The Hurkaru says :
There me really some grounds for believing that the
notorious Nana Dhundoo Punt is actually in the hands of
tbs police, bat there have been so many mistakes made on
this subject, that the public has become somewhat empti-
ed. Not very 1014 ego another " double "of the mis.
anent was caught by the Bombay authorities and sent
round to Calcutta, when he died am soon as his innocence
was established. Besides, not content with the apiaries
of the Nana, the correspondents of certain Indian journals
have discovered that 'Fantle Topes is still alive, and that a
woo( man was hanged in his piece. It would not be wr•
arising if it were reported, on excellent authority, that
Tippoo Sahib had made hie appearance in the Mysore at the
head of a hundred thousand Malmenedans.
The Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal arrived at
Kishuagur on Sunday, the 19th of July, between
7 and 8 a.m. It was at first proposed to stop at
Berhampore to take in coal, but instead of doing so
his honour went on without a pause.
The Calcutta Englishman, of the 22nd July, says :
•

Colonel Neale had since issued a circular to the
effect that, as the penalties were in course of actual
satisfaction, the negotiations relative to the remain-
ing portion of the instructions entrusted to him
reverted to the position which existed anterior to
the 20th of June, and would be pursued with the
same tiled determination as heretofore.

We lamely hope that the military station* in the
Upper Provinces are not ►bout to come under ow of those
fatal sweeps of cholera which, of late years, bare visited
them with such lamentable results; but facts in that'
direction certainly justify as in taking a serious, if not a
gloomy, view of the prospect. The other day
cholera broke out simultaneously in her Majesty's
20th Regiment and in the artillery at Banana,
and additional medial aid was sent from other stations and
from the Presidency. Letters received yesterday from
Allahabad mention the outbreak of cholera of a virulent
type, in her Majesty's 77th Regiment at that station ; ad
add that, although the cases had not been numerous, yet
every patient attacked with the &ease bad died. As Alla-
Wad ir the nest station above Rename on the Grand Trask
Road, it would appear that this terrible malady has com-
menced ose of its annual programa ; and if this be the as,,
we *ball hops to hear Immediately of all the troops along
that line being removed from barrack, and placed under
canvas, at a distance from the great thoroughfare.

The general health of Calcutta was good, not-
withstanding the abominable drains, the air being
kept moderately cool by abundance of heavy
showers. The appointment of a health officer for
the city had been temporarily adjourned.

CHINA.

Erom China the news is not important.

From Peking and the Northern Ports there is no
news of a political kind. An embus/ from the
Netherlands was about to proceed to Peking ; the
Ambassador is Mr. 'Vander Hoven, Mr. C. M. de
Ones acting as interpreter. At Hankow every-
thing seemed to be quiet ; no alarms had been
raised for some time. At Sinkiang the same ben-
qnillity prevailed. The Taepinga were known to
be in the neighbourhood. Nanking had been
attacked by a considerable imperialist force, and
some important outworks taken ; a few Englishmen
who were trafficing in the creeks in lorchas were
killed or wounded by the imperial troops. Some
of them found refuge in Chinkuing, a plate 50 miles
eastward of the Taeping capitaL An English
vessel was fired on from Nanking, and the gunboat
Hardy had gone to see into the matter.
The China Mail of the 11th July thus sum-
marises the rest of the news :

Major Gordon has made ao great movement mime we
wrote last ; he is reported to be busy in making his obser-
vations, and there is no desire for his proceeding to

tion. ao hour sooner than he thinks fit. We should say that,

at Nanking, sod a splendid imperial fleet w Its way ont to
the Yang-tze, the rebel cause is on the wane. One of t►e
moat cheering signs of the times is the comparatively small
amount of bloodshed with which the return to imperialism
promises to be effected. Major Gordon', last operation
was not so sanguinary an that previous to it ; and it is
likely his next will be still lees ao ; while the wholesale de-
sertions from the rebel army seem to offer an easy mode
of eventually dissipating the entire body. Deem-
tions took place at Nanking, and Gordon states that both he
and the Tartar general are accustomed to recruit from the
ranks of the enemy. The headquarters of the Anglo-
Chime* form has been remo►ed from Suakin to Quips's,
sod Captain Stack retains the post of occomasdant.
From Ningpo poor amounts reach us as to the condition
of sffsirs there generally. Much dissatisfaction has been
