THE OVERLAND MAIL.

Dispatches in anticipation of the ordinary Over-
Mail from India reached town last night, via
Marseilles ; and Lieut. Waghorn's courier, by wary of
Trieste, arrived at an earls hour this morning. fhe
ages by both arc from Bombay, to Nov. 2 ; Calcutta,
to Oct: 22 ; Madras, to October 24 ; and Delhi, to
Oct. 21. The mail reached Suez by the steamer
Akhbar, from Bombay, together with the following

passengers

The news is important, though somewhat more
pacific than might have been anticipated from the
tenour of accounts by the previous mail. Sheik
maum-ood-Deen, 'the leader of the Cashmere revolt,
was negotiating terms, and would probably yield an
unconditional surrender, unless an early winter should
close the passes from Jamoo, before the army os
Gholab Singh could penetrate into the Cashmere
valley, in which case he might be tempted to offer a
protracted resistance, or insist upon more favour-
able terms than would be otherwuse conceded. In,
the meantime a powerful force was in full march
against him, comprising the entire army of Gholab
Singh and a division of 10,000 men under Tig Singh,
front Lahore. A British force of 6,000 men, com-
manded by General Wheeler, bad marched from the
Jullunder Doab to Jamoo, and the 4th division, on
being relieved at Lahore by some regiments from
Ferozepore, had crossed the Ravee, and occupied
Gholab Singh's dominions. The extent of the
reinforcements moving towards the north-west
were considered indicative of some important measure
on the part of the British government, but the ult.-
nor purpose had not been disclosed. The report that
the Hon. Mr. Hardinge and other officers had been
take prisoners, and were confined in Cashmere,
proves to have been false. The affairs of Moultan
were in progress of settlement at Lahore, where Dewan
Moulraj. had appeared in person, and rendered his
submission to the Regent. From the Sikh capital
the intelligence is unimportant; but little had trans-
pired, yet that little confirms the belief that the final
withdrawal of the British forces will be followed by
a popular outbreak, if not a successful revolution. We
annex a general summary, from the Bombay Times of
2nd November :
The very alarming aspect worn at the date of our last
despatch by the affairs of Cashmere has In a gnat met-
sore passed away. rteThps of the Maharajah have, by
repeated sIICCeeseS, ved the reverses originally
encountered by them. The Sheik Erasure-God- I
Been has sent in his submission ; and, in evi-
dence of the sincerity and peacefulness of his intentions,
has caused the siege Hurree Purvut to be raised.
Not trusting to appearances, however suspicious, the Go-
yes aor-Genei has directed the military arrangements com-
menced in apprehension of an active campaign to be con-
tinued until everything be satisfactorily concluded. The sus-
picions of the good faith of the Lahore Berber appear to
hale been groundless. The Moulton akin seem in a fair
train for satisfactory arrangement, and the threatened inter-
ruption of the even tenor of our pacific policy h
leas pro
ve
transient and temporary. It seems highly probab that
whole of tne provisions of the Treaty of 'Umritsir will be
carried out as originally' intended. The force of Brigedier
Wheeler is in possession of Jamoo—that from Lahore being
in communication with them. Severe sickness is beginninl;
to make its appearance again in Upper Scinde.
The services of four of the war- steamers of the India
flotilla have been made over for the use of Government,
and will be employed for the purpose of river transport.
The Government Five per Cent. fl,—mitinly required,
as is understood, for the exigencies of Scinde—is filling
nn apace. An insurrection in' Bhopal, which
threatened serious consequences, has been suppressed
by force of arms. The Madras monsoon had been
ushered in by a hurricane of unusual violence and
a deluge of rain—no less than 171 inches of fall, two-thirds
of the English fall for one year, having occurred within 24
hours. The governors of the three presidencies are at pre-
sent all enjoying themselves above the ghauts. The report
that Mr. George Cleric is to rule over es at Bombay has
given general satisfaction : no better appointment could have
been made. No change was wished for, but Mr. Reid we
knew could not be continued in office. The Chief Justice,
Sir Henry Roper takes his departure for England by this
day's steamer, his resignation having been accepted, and his
seven years' term of service elapsed. Sir David Pollock, who
has for a month past been at the presidency, will take his
seat on the bench and be sworn in immediately. The cold
season has now fairly set in, and the weather is eminently
agreeable. The Calcutta papers inform us that the com-
mittee appointed by the Bengal Government to examine into
the success of Dr. Esdaile's operations performed on patients
under the influence of mesmerism have given in their re-
port. There *TIMM to believe that it will prove most
interesting and highly satisfactory to the mesmerists.
CASHMERE.
The promise of tidings of interest afforded by Cashrs—Fg,
at the date of our last, has not been realised—in so far
at least as those are concerned who consider tales of battle
and of blood the only interesting tidings India can supply.
The then formidable-looking insurrection under the aus-
pices of the Sheikh Emaum-ood-Deem has been subdued
with comparatively little resistance ; and there is at present
every probability of matters returning to such a state of
tranquillity, long before the term for the retirement of our
troops arrives, as to permit the treaty of Untritsir to be
fairly worked out. The Governor-General, the moment
the defeat of the troops of Goolab Singh became known to
him, having made every effort to assist in bringing about an
arrangement, caused Lieutenant EH. dwards assistant to
Colonel Lawrence, to be dispatched from Laitore, that he
nts to reason. The
!night endeavour to bring the insurge
Lahore Durbar meanwhile exerted themselves to the same
end, and Dewan liakeem Rae, a man in high confidence
and esteem, was dispatched on an embassage towards
Cashmere. While on his way the accounts of the reverse
of the Jamoo chief reached him, and delayed his progress.
Havine at length got into correspondence with the in-
surgent leader, by this time aware of the confiscation of
his property, and the arrangements made to coerce him,
arguments were found of sufficient potency to extract a pro-
mise of submission—very likely soon to be compelled. The
arrangements for the movements of troops, mentioned in our
last, had by this time been completed. The Maharajah
marched out with all his army; Brigadier Wheeler's force
oecupving the chief posts in his rear during his absence—a
Sikhforce from Lahore co-operating with him, and
I strong division of our troops from the same quarter
moving in concert with those of Brigadier Wheeler. The
following has been supplied us from an unquestiona-
ble source of authority :—lt was quite true that
the
Jamoo troops originally sent out had been worsted,
but neither to the extent nor in the manner described;
that the bulk of them had gone over to the enemy, is alto-
;inter groundless, and the report seems to have been
Warded on the fact that 500 or 600 Robins& did actually
Seined the insuments. Since then the Cashmerees have,
three several occasions, been beaten by the Sikh
7°°l*. Letters of the sth October from Cashmere inti-
mate that the Sheikh, in evidence of the sincerity of his
professions of submission, had :entirely raised the siege of
the fortress of Hurree Puma. All the garrison wanted
rod►suPPly of water, with which they will now be able
_ provide themselves. With abundance of this at their com-
mand they can defy any attack likely to be made on them,
!a!lualaintain themselves with facility till the siege be raised
,
this prove needful. There was, however, every
tenon,to believe that the war was over, and that there
no more risk of conflict. The Governor-General had
win,
determined that our exertions should not be relaxed
tiu—thatwe should be prepared for the word that might occur
everything was tranquillised.
LAHORE.
uN—..ewr fess, Lahore to the 15th of October states, that Col.
14,""nnts tocea proceeded to bring the Cashmere arrange-
conclusion, with the best hope of its being an aus-

plaids one. Our troops were that day to make a sheet
march of seven miles from the camp on the right bank of the
Raves, there being a river to cross at its close. Her Ma-
jesty's 80th Regiment joined them the preceding day—eight
of the Sikh guns !keying at the same time' crossed
and proceeded northward. They were intended to
assist Tej Singh, then some way in advance ; a treasure
chest, containing 60,0001., accompanied them. Ittur
Singh had at length moved on to join Tej Singh—
both moving on with snail-like pace, unwillingly. The
latter, when 12 miles from Bheetnbur, intimated his inability
to go on for want of carriages. Luckily, services so Min-
tautly afforded are not likely to be at all required. Colonel
Huish, in &been= of Sir J. Littler, commander of all the
troops in the Punjaub, had charge of the Lahore detach-
ment. The Dewan Moolraj Mooltanee continued at Lahore,
and the arrangement of the affairs of Mooltan proceeded
favourably.

4 .. 44 V sr.
(From the Lehi ()acetic, Oct. 11.)
It will be seen by our native correspondent's letter that
Lieut. Lumaden has accompanied the force of Sirdar Tej
Singh as agent.
From Ferozepore, we learn that the force intended for
Lahore, and consisting of her Majesty's 621 Foot, two troops
of Horse Artillery (Lane's and Campbell's), the 6th Light
Cavalry, the 3rd Irregular Cavalry, with the 51st and 64th
Regiments Native Infantry, were to march from Kussoor on
the 12th instant, with treasure and food for two months.
The whole under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel
Ashburnham, C.B. Brigadier Reid remains in command of
the station at Ferozepore. The cavalry of the late Bundel-
kund Legion were under orders to march to Jhansee forth-
with. Captain Bertram (54th N. I.) had joined his regi-
ment.

JULLUNDER DOAB.
We were in our last only able to intimate the fact that
Brigadier Wheeler had started with a force of from G,OOO to
10,000 men to occupy Jamoo in the absence of Oholab Singh
on the Cashmere expedition. We are now able to give par-
ticulars of the advance. On the 29th of September the force
quitted J ullundcr. It consisted, at starting, of the 15th, 24th,
30th and 33d Native Infantry, the Bth Irregular Cavalry, the
3d company of the let battalion of Foot Artillery, with No.
17 of the Light Field Battery attached. At Unoaheearpoor
the first march in advance, the 59th Native Infantry and
the 4th Irregulars joined it. On the 3rd of October they
reached the Beeu, and on the following day crossed by the
Nowhere ferry : the greater part of the force, now amount-
ing to nearly 10,000 men, encampicg on the opposite bank.
No annoyance or opposition of any kind was offered, bu'
considerable delay was occasioned by the deficiency of boats,
seventy being the whole number procurable. Mr. Vanaittart
accompanied them as political agent.; Major Troup, com-
manding 15th N. 1., died on the sth of October. lie was
much esteemed and beloved by all who knew him. The
people throughout the country seemed teen disposed towards
us. The roads were good, and the climate peculiarly fine.
The fertility and beauty of the country passed through on
the third march were the theme of universal admiration. The
Ravin was expected to be got over on the Bth, and Jamroo
to he attained on the 14th or 15th. This post was to be oc-
cupied by Brigadier Wheeler, in pertrn, with the 15th, 30th,
and 33rd NJ. The 24th and 59th were to be stationed at
Joarowta ; while the 41st was to move from Noorpoor to
Samba, and there be posted. Nosheearpoor was to be occu-
pied by a detachment of the 44th, under Captain Anderson,
in absence of the 59th. The following letter, published in
the Mofussolite, reached us after the above was written, and
gives the latest news me have seen from the force:—
" Camp, on the Banks of the Chenab, (let. 15, 1346.
"The force arrived here on the morning of the 13th, and were
ordered to halt until further orders. Much to our surprise, then, we
received information last night, as soon as the Lahore force, under
Brigadier Hubh should have advanced near enough to support us,
we were to eras the Cheenab, proceed to Beembur, and halt there.
The 14th, and 59th, and Bth Irregulars, who were left behind, have
'm received orders to join us y. Beembur is situated oa a
txuly plain, beyond the Japan, awl Is said to command, by its posi-
tion, the principal peas into Cashmere. The Lahore govern-
meat force, under Tej Singh, mowed the Chenab eight
days age, ar 1 will first attempt the pass at Beembur. Should
they be beaten, I suppose we shall try what we can do—
an even which all look eagerly forward to. The force will probably
not march for three or four days. Our present encampment is a
most desirable one in every respect, being ciao to a fine over, where
those who Ike it can bathe or fish at pleasure. Strange to say,
though the country is mos* fertile, and to the eye most likely for
shooting, yet scarcely a bird is be seen. We paced by Sealkote on
the Ilth, and inspected the fort, which is famous as has dig held out
for a long time last year against 30,000 men with guns, he. It rte cer-
tainly a strong tort, but built on the native principle, and could not
stand out long a-shout heavy guns, properly served. The natives
seemed very proud of it, and altrmed it was impregnable. Nothing
^Mg on in camp, and not a Sikh to be seen.

The state of affairs at Nepanl was still unsatisf
tory. The Maharajah had returned to Katmandoo,
where he was ruled by his second wife. The latest
particulars are annexed :
Matters have resumed a suspiciously tranquil appearance
at Katmandoo, to which place the Maharajah, who fled on
the outbreak of the palace massacre. bad returned. It was
believed that more mischief was brewing, and that the day
of the festival of the Dusserah would be seized on for the
perpetration of further deeds of blood. The Queen
and the heir apparent were on terms of enmity ;
how he escaped out of the Ranee's hands after the massacre
is not stated. The point of precedence in receiving the mark
on the forehead at the annual ceremony had nearly brought
about an open rupture between the Prince and the Ranee.
The soldiers were said to be arming, and it was bruited about
that they intended attacking our residency. The Ranee had
denied having had any share in instigating the massacre,
The new Resident, Major Thoresby, was on his way to join
his appointment.
There are strange events reported from Madras,
which have been made the subject of a special refer-
ence to the Court of Directors. The Marquis of
Tweeddale has removed all the judges of the Suddur
and Foozdaree Addawlut, because of a decision they
had arrived at favourable to some natives, in a suit
against certain missionaries at Tinnivelly. The ex-
citement at Madras was great. The natives had held
a public meeting, and called upon the government to
reinstate one of the judges, Mr. Lewin.
We regret to find, from the subjoined paragraph,
that Scinde is still unhealthy
From Kurrachee we have intelligence to the 26th, and of
a few days' older date from all parts of Scinde. October is
the month of fevers which follow on the subsidence of tl •
Indus, and a considerable amount of this variety of SiCklleSs
accordingly prevailed all along the river. The climate to-
wards the coast was delightfully cool. Four of the war
steamers constituting the Indus flotilla had been placed at
the disposal of government for goods and passenger trans-
port. The arrangements for plying them were partly incom-
plete ; but it was belie red that they would run once. fortnight
betwixt Kurrachee and Sukkur, calling
.at all the inter-
mediate stations. This seems an eminently expect ent
and judicious arrangement. A very great reduction
in the army was expected to take place in January,
and political changes ofmagnitude and imrtance
were believed to be impendingm. The nedcessity of opening a
five per cent. loan merely to meet the deficiency Scinde had
occasioned will probably be one of the most intelligible
hints that can be given that if Scinde can only be main-
tained at a dead lees of a million of money and a thousand
men annually—the pastto price cu
our rrentin—we must partas we
with
it : that we must try salve jured our
best may: our resources cannot afford to foster false pride
or illegitimate vanity. Several courts martial were im-
pending. The results of that on Conductor M'Donald
proved that the clamour about defrauding the men of their
supplies by. false weights and balances was without. any
- ,andation in fact.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
TII BOMBAY MARKET.
(From the Chamber of Commerce Overland Price Current).
BODHAT, Nov. 2.—Since the clew of the Deviate holidays, on the
22nd ult., there has been an extensive liminess done in piece goods.
The dealers appeared anxious to purchase during the early part of the
fortnight, whilst their demand was freely met by holders—induced to
realise by the advancing rate of exchange on England. Few of the
Marwarree dealers, who are generally our most extensive purcha-
sers, having, however, as yet come forward, the bazaar merchants
appear within the last few days more reluctant to increaae their
stocks. It is alleged that tbe Marwarrees are deterred from making
purchases here by the state of the Calcutta market, where manu-
factured goods arc selling under the Bombay rates, and from whence
they are taking supplies in preference. The still disturbed state of
political affairs in the north-west, as well as the difficulty experienced
by these men in cashing their drafts, owing to the . =city of money
and other causes, no doubt further contributes to limit their
pactsopeons.

In white jaw:wets of medium to good quality a considerable
