LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o'Clock.
INDIA AND CHINA.

By the arrival of the Overland Mail, this morning,
we have arrhunts from Hong Kong 30th Oct., Cal-
cutta Bth, Madras 10th, and Bombay 15th Nov. The
mails reached Surz by the steamer Precursor, together
with the following passengers
From Calcutta—Captain Wellman, Lieut. A. Sane, lady
and infant, Captain Pears, Lit ut. Janes, Mr. M. D'Aguair,
Mr. Tucker, Mr. D. Souza, Mr.. Wheeler, Mrs. Sturt and
two children, Mn. Goodwyn, Mn.: Caddell and infant, Capt.
Thomas, Captain Moir and child, Mr. Hooper, and Mr.
Ackland. Fe,m Madras—Capt. P. A. S. Powys and Master
H. Brockman, Eton. W. Arbuthnot, Captain Houghton, Mr.
Reid, Capt. Kure, Mr J. Badenock, Mr. Dundas, Mr.
A. Marie r, and Mr. Winterbottom. From Bombay—
Captain Lavie.
India was tranquil. From Lahore we learn that
the Deniers festival had passed over in quiet. Sir
F. Carrie was named to succeed Colonel Lawrence
on the departure of the latter from the Punjaub,
where he had performed the duties of British pleni-
potentiary. The Sikh soldiera were behaving well
tinder the guidance of the British, and had de-
feated a refractory tribe in the mountainous district'
saw Peshawar, who rettised to pay their regu-
iorvect. The eausaillora at the capital had
begun to quarrel amongst themselves, f om jealousy
of each other; and Ttj Singh had expressed fears that
he would be exiled, like his predecessor, I'll Singh.
Sir F. Carrie knows the character of the intriguers,
and would, it was expected, effectually control them.
From Affghaniatan we hear that Dhost Mahomed
was eager to have heavy guns, and had enticed some
of the gun-founders from Peshawar, to gratify his
wishes. With heavy guns the passes of the moun-
tains would, it is said, be rendered impreg-
nable. From Scinde there is no news of interest.
The Governor of Bombay was expected there in De-
cember, and will, it is stated, traverse the whole of
that country. The only sickness complained of on
the banks of the Indus is the small-pox.
The Governor-General, Lord Hardinge, arrived at
Meerut on the Ist of November, and proceeded to
Cawnpore on the 2nd of that mot th. His lordship
was to remain at Cawnpore sonic days, and to pro-
ceed thence to Lucknow, where the King of Gude
was making preparations for his reception. A num-
ber of robbers had collected under a native rajah,
and were shout to plunder the Gude districts ; but
they were muted by Captain Magness, with some of
the native forces.
A private letter, published in the Delhi Gazette,
states that the British resident at Oude had waited
on the King, and told him that his eunuchs and fa-
vourites should not be allowed to oppress the coun-
try, and to ruin the inhabitant,. The sixth article
of the treaty between hi, government and the Bri-
tish authorised the latter to interfere, and they were
prepared to do so, unless the King adopted
other courses. Hopes were entertained that the in-
terviews between the Governor-General and the

King would produce an alteration in his system of
government and cause good ministers to be chosen.
The Nizam's country continued in its usual die.
turbed state. The Prime Minister had tendered his
resignation in consequence of his inability to govern,
while the Sovereign was labouring to paralyse all the
efforts made to arrange the finances. A strange
act of cruelty is related of the Nizam's brother.
Having detected his wife in some crime, he caused
her to be enclosed in a room built up around her,
and seven of her slave girls to be locked up in another
apartment, having only eyelet holes through which
he could witness their dying agonies. The relatives
of the wife interfered, but in vain; they were obliged
to obtain troops to attack the house, when she was
released, nearly dead, from the horrible dungeon.
The Goomsoor districts remained in their former
unsettled state. The Rjah of Ungool had not yet
made his submission. The line of conduct ordered to
be adopted towards those refractory districts had not
yet been carried into effect.
Large quantities of rain had fallen in the south
and west of India, which had produced flushes in the
rivers. The late crops would derive considerable
benefit from the rains.
_ _

The intelligence of the numerous failures in Europe
during the months of August, September, and Octo-
ber, had produced much alarm in India. The alarm
in Bombay continued, in consequence of more failures
in England being apprehended.
The Scinde prize-money was expected to be paid
as soon as orders came from the supreme govern-
ment for the purpose. The government had re-
turned part of the prize property as belonging to the
Ameer's private estate, to the amount of three lace;
but that sum was paid to the prize fund, by order of
the court of directors, so that no diminution is to
take place in the payments.
In Calcutta there had bees but little doing. The
promulgation of an act for appointing commisaioners
for the improvement of Calcutta, and authorising the
imposition of a tax on horses and carriages, was almost
the only matter that had attracted mach public
attention.

Some cunning attemps had been made to defraud
several of the commercial houses at Calcutta and
Madras, by means of forged bills of exchange, pur-
porting to have been drawn by Arbuthnot, f.athom,
and Co., in favour of Baring, Brothers, and Co., and
to be endorsed by the last-mentioned firm to a Mr.
Lacombe at Cairo, by whom and whence they were
forwarded to India with a request that the amounts
might be forwarded to this Mr. Lacombe. The
figures were very cleverly executed, and had nearly
escaped detection.
Accounts had reached Calcutta of the suspension
of many houses in this country, but up to the depar-
ture of the mail no failures had taken place.

land Star ;
