OVERLAND INDIA MAIL.

By the arrival of our despatches yesterday we are
put in possession of intelligence from India to the
following dates :—Bombay, August 31 ; Calcutta,
August 20 ; and Madras, August 24. The mail was
brought from Suez by the Ariel, which reached Malta
on the night of the 24th. The Ardent took the mail
from Malta on the 25th, for Marseilles. The intelli-
gence received is not of more than the average im-
portance of the last few mails. The following is
from the

SUMMARY OP THE BOMBAY TIMES.
Our chronicle continue, to be as indifferently sup-
plied as ever with exciting events since peace re-
turned. The grounds of the apprehensions expe-
rienced by many from the large reductions making
and being made in the army have been al-
together removed ; the hopes excited by the
financial improvement* procured by them have fallen
short of the reality. The total augmentation which
had occurred in the company's army betwixt 1838
and 1846 amounted to above 100,000 men, with 834
European commissioned officers, at an extra charge of
about a million and a quarter sterling. his does not
include Queen's mop, of which there were in 1838
18 regiments, costing 236,9301., and in 1846, 26,
costing about a million and a quarter, including war
charges. The total reduction proposed, or already com-
pleted, amounts to four, not six, Queen's corps, as for-
merly understood; and as three European regiments
have, within these seven years, been added to the com-
pany's army, this will leave us 4,000 more European
troops than we possessed at the opening of the seven
years war. The total reductions, Queen's troops in-
cluded,)smount to about 47,000 men, leaving us still an
army stronger by. above 60,000 men than in 1838.
The reductions in all will save the state about
1,116,0001. a year. The list of officers remains as be-
fore-834 stronger than in 1838 ; while the extremely
young, the invalid, aged, and inefficient, have been
withdrawn—leaving our army composed of picked
soldiers, as perfect in discipline and appointments as
any the world contains, and so strongly officered that
it could be augmented to any amount our exigencies
required at the shortest possible notice. On the
north-west frontier above Meerut we have a force of
50,000 rank and file, with 100 guns,—in which are
comprised three regiments of dragoons, eight regi-
ments of European infantry, and twenty-one com-
panies of artillery-10,000 Enropeans in all, in excel-
lent health and the highest pomade state of discipline.
- - • -

The utmost care has been bestowed in taking advan-
tage of the cool and healthy stations our now frontier
leaves at our disposal, so as to keep the men in the
highest spirits and finest condition; our most popular
and convenient cantonments being on the n'ew line of
defence. The total gain by recent arrangements is

larger by much than was supposed. The military
reductions amount, as already stated, to a million
and a sixth ; the Lahore tribute to 220,0001.; the re-
venue from our newly-acquired districts to 400,0001.;
the increased duty on opium gives 100,0001. ; saving
by the prevention of smuggling along our north-west
frontier 120,0001., or a grand total of precisely two
millions sterling a year. Our net revenues have,
since 1838, increased by above two millions ; our ex-
penditure ought scarcely to be larger now, unless on
the account of Scinde and the greater magnitude
of oar army, than in 1838, or about one million,
leaving an estimated balance available for public
purposes, were the sword "allowed to sleep in the
scabbard, of nearly three millions sterling a year.
In the Punjaub everything continues quiet as usua
is
l.An additional regiment of Europeans, H. M.'s 53rd,
to be moved from Ferozepore to Lahore, IL M.'s 14th
Dragoons from Umbrdlah occupying the quarters in
Ferozepore vacated by the infantry. The Governor
of Peshawar has forbidden the holding of durbars on
Sundays, and the Lahore government have issued an
intimation preventing all labour on public works.
These things have been done spontaneously, in com-
pliment to us and our Sabbath : it is not a twelve-
month since we ourselves ventured on a similar measure
in Bengal. The various tax-gatherers who had been
complained against for oppressing the villagers have
been dismissed. The Barber has of its ownaccord issued
a proclamation against the practice of suttee ; and ano-
ther forbidding all requisitions by the army from the
people such as were wont to be made. A tariff of
charges for carriage and assistance of all kinds has
been issued, at which troops may hire on the march
from the villagers around. The people who had suf-
fered from the troops on their march into the Haza-
rd/ country were directed to be reimbursed from the
local treasuries, and the officer commanding the
troops was required to make good all that he and his
men had made free with on pain of instant dismissal.
As an evidence of the perfect tranquillity prevailing,
our soldiers had got permission to visit the city of
Lahore, from which hitherto they have wisely been
excluded. Dost Mahomed has sent a vakeel from I
Cabool to pay his respects to Major Lawrence st
Lahore. He was very graciously received, and thel
attaches of the embassy se hospitably entertained by
the Sikh chiefs as to be unable next day to pre-
sent themselves in public. Though the old
Ameer, to please the more inveterate of his
subjects, is constantly talking of preparing to
make war on us, his anxiety ever since his restoration
to be on cordial terms with us is quite notorious.
Before we expelled him from his country he declared
his preference for our friendship before that of any
power in existence, and his readiness to make any
sacrifice for our sakes short of that of embroiling him-
self with all his neighbours. The sentiment seems
never to have slept in his bosom through all his vicis-
situdes, and before another year is out we may look
for an exchange of envoys betwixt Calcutta and
Cabool.
A steamer would leave on the 10th for Kurra-
chee, to remain at the disposal of Sir C. Napier, who
will, it is understood, proceed in the course of the
month with his family direct to Europe. The country
generally is healthy—the troops anxious for the
publication of the reliefs. The Indus flotilla has
been disabled by the damage lately sustained
by the Satellite. We have no particulars since
our last in reference to the navigation of the river. The
.Governor General has granted permission to Shandad
Khan, one of the late Ameers of Hydmbad, to quit
Surat, where he has hitherto been detained captive in
the castle, to join his brethren in Bengal. The Ameer
was subjected to separate confinement on being sus-
pected of having countenanced some attacks by the
Beloochees on our river steamers. His guilt was
never proved or admitted. It will be remembered
that some time since Shere Mahomed, Ameer of Kbyr-
pore, surrendered himself to Colonel Lawrence, at
Lahore, and experienced the kindness and sympathy
due to his misfortunes. We have every reason to be-
lieve Lord Harding* as deeply alive to the injustice
inflicted on the Smirk princes, and as anxious as any
man to have the blot of the conquest cast on our annals
removed, could he conquer the bugbear of consistency
which constrains his friends to persist in wrong.
The ex-ruler of Nepaul, after a quiet residence of
some months within the British territory, about the end
of July collected a force of Affghans and Nepaulese
amounting to about 3,000, and entered his former
dominions, in the belief that the army would join him,
and his friends rise and assist him in regaining his
authority. These hopes seemed to have been held
out to him as a lure, with the view of placing him in
the hands of his rival, and obtaining the destruction
or dispersion of his followers, and the extinction of
all hopes of restitution. Oa the 28th July, five regi-
ments sent from Katmandoo, under his own son and
the Chief Justice of the Court of Right, to meet him,
took his camp by surprise, and fell furiously on his
troops about daybreak, leaving 100 (some accounts
say 500) dead upon the spot, dispersing the rest, and
carrying off the ex-king himself a prisoner. The
British government have recognised the new ruler,
and there is little likelihood of there being more dis-
turbances in this quarter for the present.—ln the dis-
tricts of Goomsoor and Golcondah, matters aremuch as
formerly : there is perfect quietness at present, but
we are assured by our Madras contemporaries that
there is but small chance of its long continuance.
We have so often had alarms from these parts which
proved groundless or excessive, that we are content
with good while it lasts. A party of the robbers who
have occasioned of late so much annoyance in Raj-
pootanah, have been seized. Jowaheer, cousin of
Dhoongur, the great leader, was overtaken in the
desert by Lient. Showers. After stoutly defending
themselves two were killed and seven made prisoners,
including the chief.
There have been at Bombay an unusual num-
ber of topics of interest and local agitation in
the course of the mouth, of which the affairs of
the Indian navy constitute the chief. The dentition
of a frightful amount of departmental mismanage-
ment, by which government bad in the article et sail
alone lost from five to ten thousand pounds a year,
was mentioned in our last. It now appears that
though warning after warning has been given, and
complaint on complaint made, on the subject, ne heed
has been paid to them. The neglect of the tied-ruc-
tion of the younger officers, and contempt of anything
like the pursuits of science, were also referred to; sad
it is now affirmed that ou the arrival of the pressa
superintendent the libraries supplied by the mart et
directors for the ship of instruction were sneered at,
and the officers told they might find better employ-
ment for their time than reading a parcel of books:
the superintendent seems not to read, and assuredly
cannot write one word of English grammatically. la
1838 the court of directors positively forbade the em-
ployment of officers from the merchant navy so long
as any of their own were unemployed: since 1839,
eleven merchant seamen have been placed in berths
over the heads of commissioned officers, numbers of
whom are always idle. All regulations for discipline
and advancement in the service have been abolished,
and the favourites of the superintendent are
hoisted into pls•es of preferment over all claimants—
those not his favourites being treated as miadmais.
The most absolute despotism and capricious tram,
have endured till the whole service is in a state at
avowed disgust. Instead of officers being informed
of the charges the superintendent has against them, a
system of tale-bearing and espionage is kept up beret
and secret informations sent home to the court of
directors, who thereon are induced to dismiss officers
of merit from their service without the establishment
of a single charge against them, or blemish attaching
to their character, save in the imagination of their
supreme commander. The case on which all this has
been exposed is that of Lieut. Bird, an officer univer-
sally respected in the service, who had obtained sick
leave to the Neilgherry hills, and on receiving some
despatches which were expected to contain the
announcement of his elevation to the rank of
commander, found himself dismissed the ser-
vice without a trial or a charge. The let-
ter of the court, afterwards in part published,
stated that they would have preferred trying him by
court-martial, bat now removed him because he no
longer enjoyed the confidence of the superintendent—
that is, was not a toady or favourite ; reminding him
that in 1843 the Cleopatra steamer had touched a
coral reef while under his command, and that he had
in 1845 given offence to Sir C. Napier. How these
matters were reported at home cannot be known, but
the fact is, that the Cleopatra touched the reef one
night when it was the captain's hours of rest, the
vessel being under charge of newly promoted officers
from trading ships, no bottom being found a few
fathoms off from the reef : for this he was tried by
court-martial at the time, and fully and honourably
acquitted. The offence given to Sir C. Napier was
occasioned by the Berenice being sent to sea, to pre-
vent missing the overland mail from Bombay to

Suez, when she had some dozens of earnp-stools on
board which ought to have been lauded. Sir
Charles was annoyed at first, but declared his
entire satisfaction with Mr. Bird after the
matter had been explained to him. The younger
officers of the navy having memorialised the court of
directors on the subject, were summoned to the pre-
sence of the superintendent, and desired to withdraw
their memorials, being told that if they declined they
would be held guilty of mutiny, and tried by court.
martial, a pretty clear sign the superintendent was
conscious of the mischief he had done. A man satis-
fied that all was right would have best put down dis-
content by courting investigation, and when the
charges against him were examined and shown to be
groundless, punishing, if he thought fit, those who
brought them. The officers persisted, and their me-
morial will reach England by the present mail
Unless the present system of arbitrary and irrespon-
sible dealing be put an end to, the Indian navy will be
utterly ruined. It will be recollected that it consists of
between forty and fifty vessels of war, of which fifteen
are seagoing, and twelve river steamers, the majority
of the former being of from seven hundred and fifty to
fourteen hundred tons burthen, and from two hundred
and fifty to four hundred and fifty horse-power, of two
sloops of war, four brigs, nix schooners, and three
cutters, with an establishment of between one hundred
and one hundred and fifty commissioned officers.
These cost the country, tear and wear of vessels in-
cluded, above three hundred thousand pounds a year.
The officer against whom all these complaints are
made is Sir Robert Oliver, a post-captain in the royal
navy, and who has for nine years occupied the post of
superintendent of the Indian navy at a salary of four
thousand pounds a year. He is understood to have
great interest with the court of directors, and has long
enjoyed the confidence of the local government, who
respect his uprightness, zeal, assiduity, and decision,
and are little competent judge of marine affairs.
A more grievous system of tyranny and oppression
than that now disclosed is nowhere to be found.
Sir Robert Oliver is one of those old-fashioned gen-
tlemen who consider absolute authority and in-
cessant mystery-making indispensable to good
government in the naval department of the service;
and a mind naturally humane and upright seems to
have become spoiled by the unlimited indulgence
which so few can withstand. Some months since, he
got government to refuse permission for the erection
of buildings on ground about to be reclaimed from
the sea, and promising to be productive of revenue to
them, because it interrupted his view, though half a
mile away from him. The proceedings of the Su-
preme Court have formed the next subject of agi-
tation. Sir Erskine Perry has, since the lamented
demise of Sir David Pollock, acted as chief justice,
and been the sole judge on the bench. He opened
the criminal sessions by an address excellent in part,
but which concluded by recommending savings banks
amongst people who can neither rend nor write—have
neither clothes nor habitations, and manage to support
themselves on a few handfuls of vegetables and rice—
for from such are the bulk of our criminals drawn;
and jeered at the government as known only to the
people rie collectors of taxes and punishers of crime.
The last criminal sessions have been characterised
throughout India as a string of indiscretions. Bom-
bay contains from three to four hundred thousand in-
habitants, and has of late years had two police courts
and three judges: in the economy now prevalent,
one judge has been retrenched and a court disabled,
so that about six thousand cases have annually to be
dealt with by a single tribunaL This measure has
also been greatly censured. The Governor and Com-
mander-in-Chief of Bombay continue in the Deccan :
they proceed to Satter& and the blahabuleshwar Hills
after the rains, and return to Bombay in the cold
weather. The Surat steamer, the property of the
Bombay Steam Navigation Company, has just
arrived: the Dwarka is immediately expected, and
the Bombay is by this time on her way. Two other
steamers are building at Bombay for the company,
r who will then have six vessels on the coasting trade.
The mail meant to have been despatched from Bom-
bay on the 27th, has been detained to the 31st August,
the Overland Mail from London of the 24th July not
Ilhaving arrived till the evening of the 30th.
The following are a few additional items of news :
at Calcutta, the steamer Fire Queen had at last been
sold, government being the purchaser for eighty-five
thousand rupees.—Baboo Radhacaunt Date, an Rim
of the general assembly's school, having satisfied him-
self of the truth of the Christian religion, and wishing
to embrace it, had taken up his abode within the walls
of the institution. Baboo Ramchand Butt, the father
of the lad, had caused a writ of habeas corpus
to be issued against Mr. Ogilvie, the superin-
tendent of the institution, founding the application
grounded upon the minority of Radhaesant
Letters from Tirhoot and Jessore state that the indigo
prospects were much more favourable than bad been
anticipated.—A despatch had been received at Madras
from the court of directors, directing that servants of
the government, civil and military, should abstain
from interference with the religious concerns of the
natives. This seems to have been in answer to the
first memorial addressed by the Hindoos of Madras to
the court of directors. A copy of the above-men-
tioned despatch had bees transmitted by the Bengal
government to that of Madras, desiring certain parti-
culars on this interesting question.—Ragovaloo, the
convert to Christianity, who had been long wavering
between the faith of his fathers and that of his adop-
tion, had returned to his family. He was not, how-
ever, likely to be received back into the caste he bad
forsaken.
Our Hyderabad intelligence acquaints us (says the
Madras Spectator of the 16th ult.) that an Arab un-
dergoing his trial before the court of Mahomed
Fyzoolla drew a poignard on the judge, and would
have injured him, bat that a person present inter-
rupted the blow, at the expense of a wound to him-
self. Three fingers of the latter party are said to
have been cat off. The assailant was apprehended
and sent tee the entices, from whence his fellow
Arabs, instigated by their chieftains, were said to
have formed a design of rescuing him by force ; the
(utwal meanwhile preparing for resistance. In the
first report of the matter conveyed to us it appeared
that the culprit had been handed over to his chiefs,
and government gained the credit of allowing that
compromise. Later accounts, however, induce us
to
believe that, although the chiefs were very earnest in
pressing for his transfer to them, they have not yet
obtained the consent of the executive, which le re-
presented as strenuous in the maintenance of its
authority. If the latter statement proves authentic,
we shall hail iris an omen Of goocl things necoreer
since such an example of ,resolute opposition, n the

Loss OP THE STEAMER CLEOPATRA, AND NEARLY
300 Livas.—The circumstances attending the destruction of
this ill•fated vowel will meet likely ever remain a mystey.
The Cleopatra, it is stated, from her peculiar form of build
and other circumstances, was not so well adapted fur the ea-
via in which she was commissioned as others. She mea-
sured nearly SOO tons burthen. and carried four guns. She
steamed from Bombay en the 14th of April last, with orders
fur Singapore, and had on board nearly 200 convicts. Her
crew comprised 70 persons, the chief portion of whom were
Europeans. There was also a detachment of Marines on
board, who had the safe keeping of the convicts. Amongst
the officer' in charge of the ship ma ho mentioned—Captain
J. A. Young, Commander ; Lteut. Eden, Lieut. Ralph, Mr.
F. W. Nott, Mr. T. G. Carr Wing-master (son of the
Venerable Bishop of Bombay), and Mr. J. Seedy,
son of Captain Seedy, R. N. Four days after the
departure from Bombay, a fearful hurricane came
which continued with unabated violence three days—the
17th, 18th, and 19th. Great havoc was occasioned in all
directions among the shipping. It is very probable that the
Cleopatra had, at the time of encountering the storm, reaclwd
the Malabo,: coast, off which, tkere is too much sewn to I*

Bougie, Aeo. 30.—Since the departureof the owe:deed

business transacted in the import market was not to that ex-
tent that the favourable accounts from the agricultural die-
peole to look for, and that usually taken

racket, but,
mowing to the absence of orders from
Sci- ode and whoa. subonlinate marts, their offers, although
moat instances exhibiting an advance upon the prices cur
mg. in May prior to the setting in of the mins, were, with
few ei:epuoos, without spirit, while importers were much
firmer holders thin they were at the period mentioned.
Since the celebration, however, of Cocoanut day on the 25th
of this month, when the natives consider the boisterous wea-
ther to have terminated, there had been an improved feel-
ing amongst the dealers; and increased offers had been
rude for tamp articles, and a considerable amount of busi-
aess has taken place in cotton manufactures. The
accounts of the growing crops were in general favour-
sble from the agricultural districts, but in some puts,
particularly in Ouserat, the fall of rain had been scanty,
and a further supply was anxiously looked for as requisite to
ensure an abundant yield. Money was plentiful, and the
bulks had lstely reduced their rates of discount 2 per cent.
Upon the whole, the prospects were good for the opening
tenon of activity ; and when communications with the coast
were freely ns.established, and the inland traders appeared in
the market, there would be an extension of business and im-
proved prices for imports.
