The Geßtielltall'e Gazette of the 3rd says;
It will, we have so doubt, afford mach pleasure to many
of our readers, to learn that the Bombay Mums, under

At. Bombay the first criminal sessions of the pre-
sent year were just concluded. They showed a
lighter calendar than usual ; and the chief justice hat
given reason, by some remarks which fell from him,
to suppou that he does not think this community
more vicious than an ordinary European one of
similar extent.
the directors of the Bombay Steam Navigation
Company, after having taken into consideration
the circumstances ander which their flue new iron
steam-vessel the Surat woe ran upon a reef
on the Kattiawar coast on the 12th of February
last, have dispensed with the services of the second
officer, during whose watch it wu that the accident
oxurred. The captain has been suspended from pay
far five months; and the first officer, in consequence
it is said of tome proposition made to him for a tem-
porary reduction of his pay, has resigned bis appoint-
ment. Captain Hawkins, the senior officer of the
ludian navy, stands appointed master attendant from
the 3rd April, vice Captain Lynch, who came home
by the pieiert mail. The governor, with Lady
Falkland mid suite• had left for Mahableshwar
and Poona during the hot weather and rains now
approaching. The governor is accompanied by
Mr. isfalet, chief secretary, and CoL Melville, secre-
tary in the naval and military departments to govern-
ment, as secretaries in attendance, the duties of the
secretariat* at Bombay devolving in the meantime on
Messrs. Lumaden sad Courtney, the two other seem•
taxies to government at present. His excellency the
Commander-in-ChieC Sir Willoughby Cotton, with
suite, has also left for the hills" on a tour of inspection."

The Bombay Telegraph and Courier gives the fol-
lowing, :remind on the night of April 2nd by
express :
By the Agra express, which reached Bombay yesterday
evening, we have received news from Gemmel Sir W. R.
Gilbert's camp to the 19th ult. The general, with the 17
boats which he had got preset= of, was crossing the Inds
as rapidly as possible. Three regiments were already en-
camped OR the Peshawar lade of the river, and In another
day the whole army was expected to be aucth. The Afghans
were in full retreat; and if the Khyberries should impede
their passage through the pares, they would be made pri-
soners to a man. " Dom Mahossed," remarks oar cone-
spoedent, " came for wool, and he will go back (if he ever
goes back) well shorn."
The intentions of the governor-general regarding the Pan-
janb hed not been matte known at Agra up to the 28th ult.,
Bat the order for many civilians: to proceed to Loodianah
to report themselves to the resident at Lahore, was considered
conclusive as regards the annexation of the country.
