THE OVERLAND MAIL.

We have received our dispatches In advance of the
Overland Mail. The dates are Bombay, June 101
and Calcutta, June 4.

The folloWing is from the summary of the Bombay
Times, June 10:
This is the season nt which no intelligence from
India is to be looked for, and though scarcely a drop
of rain has yet reached us, a fortnight of the rainy
season is just as much held to be past so far as the
suspension of military movements out of doors and
slackening of business within, is concerned, as if wet
had had our half-inch of fall daily since the end d
May.—There have been sundry gang robberies with
' loss of life in the Nizam's country, but that is a matter
of weekly occurrence all the year round, and then
has been no occasion for sending an expedition any-
where into the field.—The severe castigation the bop- •
darer. on our Peshawur frontier have received, cona•
bined with the advance of the hot weather, have
secured us tranquillity for the present even Is

and having mastered the post, mounted their four
horses, and rode off to their own village, where thrT
were immediately pursued by a party of 20 mounted
police. On arriving at the village, the horsemen found
that the robbers, after destroying their wives and
families, had attacked a party of seven sent oat hi

one, and wounding two mortally and four severely.
By this time three of them were cut to pieces,*

relations cannot for a moment be regarded we Men-
thol with any desire for the exclusion, or any
peculiar distrust of one man. Everybody understands

•dm/le lay in his having in the Administration
illianetial allies, by whose aid he expected to be

la May last; that is the danger now. The Ca-
Mast since then has undergone no change; yet it
was currently rumoured then, and is now im-
plicitly believed, that of the confidential Meiners of
Ms Quzax, one half were ready to approve the eons-
pesmisie with Ramis which the Austrian Minister
*posed: and, notwithstanding this, we know that
without exception the whole of the members of the
Ghia% cootribated to the deludes practised epos
Parliament, and preteedsd unanimity in breaking
le negotiations, in order to defeat a party motion in
the Hasse of Commons.

It will not now avail to say that the Setourreir for
the COLONIES was the deceiver, and sot his colleagues.
Many of them eat by and heard his words, some of
them cheered; and none of them disavowed them.
How sins it possible, indeed, that they should do so ?
Was it)ict notorious that for many days preeediNg
hopes had been excited amongst the advocates of
woe that sooner than prolong hostilities a nume-.
sees section of the Government was prepared to
miparati from that which advocated the rejection of
Austrian taros? Is it not still in the recollection of
every one that Lord lonic was expected to make a
pacific speech, and that the hove was taken wholly
by harpies I. listening to that which he actually
delivered ? Assuredly his °aliases' who speed
with him in opinion, and differed from hiss in the
course eventually 'pursued, cannot have the face to
deny that they were participators along with him in
the delusion practised on the House. They were

enthusiistically about the war. We should like to
know Wore the session ends, and the fortunes of the
country are committed, for another perilous seem, to
the keeping of such men, how many of them we
pay for lying in wait for an opportunity to mane
negotiationa like those of Vienna. We presume that
eve the debate of this evening commences, some
explanation will be asked on this score. It is the
right and duty of a legislature which finds that it
has been once deceived to interrogate strictly
these who have misled it. They cannot deny their
Wylie pirticipation in the act; we should *Wanly

CIZONOE Garr, Bit COINEWALL LEWIS, and Bit

his example. It this be so, there only remains to be
questioned the residue of the Philo-Austrian party in
the Cabinet, amongst whom public conjecture points
es two Members of the Upper Houle and one of the
Lower.
