LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

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

By= arrival in anticipation of the overland mail from
Lake, ri i Marseilles we have news from Hong-Kong
to the 24th Aug.; and from Calcutta to the Bth, and
and Madras and Bombay to the 11th, of Sept. The
Bombay portion of the mail was dispatched on the
11th, by the Seaforth, rii Ceylon, instead of, in
ordinary coarse, on the 15th, by a steamer to Aden
direct It was brought forward from Galle by the
Bentinck steamer, from which vessel the following
passengers landed at Suez, and subsequently left
Alexandria, io the steamer Ilindostan, for England:
Mr. S. Shepheard, C. Schmidt, Mr. De Dawnise, Miss
Cowe, Mr. Altston, Mr. P. Dudgeon, Lieut. Col. Cooper,
Lieut. W. Rignell; Mr. E. D. Jame, Mr. R. It. Smith,
Mr. G. Kinder, Lieut. Delimit, Mrs. Ashburner and child,
Mr. H. Stewart, Mr. Cosgreve, Dr. Graham, Lord Kennedy,
Capt. Montgomery, Lieut. Hunter, Mr. Fisher, Mn.
Hamiltoa and infant, Sir C. W. Blunt, Mr. C., Mrs., and
Miss Biden, Mr. R. W. Evatt, Rev. It. W. Whitford, Major
and Mrs. A. R. Rose, Capt. S. A. 8. Coxwell, Major A
Mann, Lieut. H. M. Clogstoun, Mrs. Macdonald and infant.
The most important news by tkis arrival is that
which has reference to Lahore, where intrigues would
appear to havo been again rife, in which the queen-
mother was the principle mover. With the precise
nature of the plotting which had been carried on we
are not made acquainted; but the fact having come to the
knowledge of the British authorities, it was considered
advisable to crash it in the bud, and accordingly,
on the evening of the 20th of August, the Ranee was
removed from the palace, and escorted to Shaikhoopra,
a fort some twenty miles distant, where the is likely
to remain a prisoner for some time. The in-
trigues of this woman have been long notorious,
and her hostility to the present government which
she cons:ders to be maintained solely by British pro-
tection, has been lately bat ill concealed ; so much
its that, upon the installatim of her son, she induced
the Maharajah to insult the prime minister, Tej
Singh, by refusing him the tiluk or royal mark on
the forehead, merely because he was the friend of the
English, and therefore en object of hatred to her and
her partisans. The removal of Ranee Chunda from
the scene of her intrigues would, it was hoped,
tend to neutralise the schemes of the disaf-
fected, at all events, for some time to come, as
the most dangerous period of the year was approach-
ing. The I)useera, which takes place in October at
Lahore, is always a season of apprehension ; but the
officer in command of the British forces was on the
alert, and the utmost vigilance was observed. To
eradicate as far as possible the evil influences to
which the mind of the young Maharajah had been so
long exposed, several of the Ranee's creatures and
confidential advisers had been sent away from Lahore
to different parts of the country; among them was
the once-famous slave girl Mangela, the favoured'
confidante of her highness's intrigues.
Except the foregoing there is nothing important
from beyond the Sutlej. Matters were somewhat
unsettled at Cabool, where the elevation of Hyder
Khan to the office of wuzeer had given offence to his
elder brothers and other members of the family, who
had protested against the unjust partiality of the
Ameer. It is not improbable that this matter may lead,
in the end, to serious consequences.
Tranquillity continued on the banks of the Indus,
although some symptoms were exhibited of a disposi-
tion amongst the Belooches of the hills to resume their
plundering propensities on the plains. Nothing cer-
tain was known at Bombay of the intentions of Sir
Charles Napier, but a report from England that he
was to be commander-in-chief of the army of India on
the retirement of Lord Gough, had occasioned much
speculation. Sir Charles had declined a public testi-
monial, which some of the officers in Scinde wished
to present to his lady, as he considered such to be
contrary to the spirit of the military regulations..
In the Rajpoot states, Doongur Singh was still at
larr, and tears were entertained of the continuance
of his ravages when the fair season set in. His
brother was lately captured, and his arrest had bad
the effect of rendering the chief bandit somewhat
cautious in his movements.
The Governor-General was stated to be about to
proceed to Oude, in order to enter into arrangements
with the king, who is described as willing to cede
the sovereignty to the E. I. Company and to re-
tire, upon his being insured a pension commensurate
with his rank. Lord Hardinge was still at Simlah,
where Col. Lawrence had arrived from Lahore for the
recovery of health. The politico-scientific mission to
Thibet had been finally arranged, and was to set out
without delay, having far its firstobjeet the settlementof
Goolab Singh's frontier to the north and east, when it
would proceed northward towards Yarkund, and win-
ter at a place called Koten. Thence it will proceed,
in three separate parties, by as many routes, to Lassa,
but what to do there is not yet publicly known. It
Is supposed it will be absent about 18 months, unless it
should be permitted to penetrate into the Chinese ter-
ritories, which is not likely.
At Calcutta the case of the Hindoo convert still
occasioned much discussion. It was rumoured that
some of the wealthy Hindoos intended to furnish the
father with the means of bringing his case again
before the Supreme Court; but this is hardly likely,
as the youth had been since baptised, and was beyond
the pale of kis father's faith, and deprived of his caste.
A somewhat important meeting of Union Bank
proprietors had been held, at which some awkward
disclosures were made as to the nature and
extent of the bank's investments in indigo fac-
tories. It was resolved, among other things, that
it is not expedient that the dividends shall ex-
ceed 5 per cent., or, at most, 6 per cent., until the
whole amount of the capital, one crore of rupees, is
replaced. A memorial had been presented to the
deputy governor by the bank, praying that the
rule which prohibits the servants of the East
India Company from entering as directors, and
which is enforced in the case of this bank alone, may
be set aside. The address has come home with
the recommendation of the local government to the
Court of Directors, and it is be hoped that its reason-
able request will be granted. The weather in Calcutta
had been rather unhealthy. Fever had been alarm-
ingly prevalent, and carried off several members of
the European community, including the Rev. John
M'Donald, a pious and eloquent missionary of the
Free Church of Scotland.
The Nizam's dominions present the same inextri-
cable confusion. The embarrassments of the govern-
ment for money were still as great as ever, and the
usual results of insubordinatioa amongst the troops, I

and disaffection and confusion amongst the empioya,
were seen throughout that country.
The intelligence from Bombay is unimportant.
The discussion respecting the memorials sent to the
Court of Directors from the young officers of the
Indian Navy was continued, and the conduct of Sir
It. Oliver, the superintendent, was much oanvaastd.
The rains, which set in with such fury in the be-
ginning of the moonenon, had become slack for several
weeks in July and August ; but in the beginning of
September they recommenced, and a very favourable
season would, it was hoped, ensue.
The intelligence from Hong Kong is to the 25th
of August. The news of the Canton expedition in
April having been received and published in London,
speculation was rife, and the next mail wen looked
for with great interest, as likely to develope the views
of government. AU remained quiet at Canton, but
there was an uneasy feeling still existing.

The following is the summary of the Ore,land
Bombay Times, of Sept. 11 :
Our mail arrangements secs this season destined to per-
turbation the steamer intended to have been dispatched on
the 27th of August was detained till the 31st ; that gentled
for the 15th of September proceeds, via Ceylon, instead of
Aden, an the Ilth The ten days to which our news is thus re-
stricted has brought us from England a world of important
tidings, but furnished us few for transmirion home. The
amount intriguing and interference in public affairs by the
Ranee of Lahore has compelled the dubar at length to piece
her under restraint; she is to be confined in the fortress of
Skaikoopra. The lite of the prime min is re r, Tej Singh, was said
to have been threatened. The British troops at Lahore are,
it is said, hereafter to be relieved annually—the higher
rates of remuneration allowed them making the station
coveted ; and as man
_y as possible are to be allowed to share
in its advantages. The erountry continua quiet throughout.
Some annoyance was said to have been felt by the people
in the Jullundhar Dab, from our indulgence in the
slaughter of bins—the killing of a cow giving great offence
to the religious feelings of the country. The Governor
General is about to visit Oude, with a view, it is said, to
the better conducting of the affairs of government. The
King is reported to have offered to surrender to us his
realms entire if we will only allow him to retain his honours
sad receive a pension. The disorders in the Nixam's domi-
nions continue 'annulated. India in general is tranquil.
Though Sir Charles has been convicted of a greater melee
of specific ma statements than any man who ever held •
000nCiariOn in our armies, and is the author of the most
questionable piece of policy we were ever engaged in, he is
a gallant, able, and determined soldier, and, as such,
popular with the army. He is above the mere fop-
peries and forms of his profession, and would, probably,
relieve us of many of the encumbrances and obstacles from
which in matters of arms, dress, and discipline, soldiers in
India suffer. His continuance in India would shelve the
Sande question, and save ministers the disgrace of entering
on measures where fraud and falsehood are discovered by
every turning of the Blue Book. Another rumour is that
Sir Charles declines remaining in India on any inducement,
and that he will proceed to Sues with his family direct about
the 2.50 inst.—The last mail arrived from England in 27
days and 18 hours, by much the most rapid transit ever se-
oemplished.—A curious cue has just been decided by the
Supreme Court. Capt. Thoruhill, re-mount agent for the
MadrasCavalry,kept 'deposit account with the Bombay Bank.
Me seems to have trusted the filling up and cashing his cheques
to Catsinath Ragoonath, a native writer, and does not seem to
have looked into his accounts for a period of three years.
It is the custom in Bombay, where an account current is
kept open, that the bank supplies a pass-book to the drawer
and depositor, where the amount drawn or deposited is
written in on each transaction, the sums being duly added
at interesr, so as to show at once the state of the account.
The bank makes up its accounts formally twice a year, when
these are examined by the parties, and, if found correct,
sub.cribed. The bank then returns all vouchers, the de-
positors all receipts, and the transaction, up to this date,
is reckoned cloud. In September, 1846, Capt. Thorn-
hill called at the bank and subscribed his account for the
preceding three years without examining it; and also ob•
caned his cheques, about three hundred in number, from
the hank. On examining these he found some apparently
forged, many tampered with, and 7001. drawn in excess of
what hail been di sired by him or made use of in hie office.
The native writer meanwhile bad absconded. The chief
justice drcided that the bank must sate the loss, on the
Rewind that though both Captain Thornhill and the bank
clerks had been careless, the bank was more bound to care than
their empioo. The decision seems to open the door to endless
frauds on the bank, which never can look upon
any man's account se closed—a receipt from him
being no evidence that all is right, or bar to future
claim. Had the cheques been more skilfully vitiated,
so as that no blame could have attached to the clerks, the
decision would hare been the same another Cassinath may
take better care next time, and once more swindle the bank.
The Governor and Commander-in-Chief are still in the

Deccan.
The discussions on the government of the Indian navy are
still in active prozreas, and throughout all India not one
single voice has been raised in its favour. Meanwhile
they have found themsslvrs unable to maintain the com-
munication for the English mails ding' with Adcn,
though she packet service is maintained ee f dead outlay of
above 40,0001. a year; and a ship now cio survey has been
compelled to suspend operations for data of hands! She
waits at Men till an aeting-mute, lately arrived by the
Mooauffer, and who may or may not know a theodolite from
an azimuth compass, joins her—any amount of science being
with us imparted to any man in five months by virtue of an
ungrammatical general order! The rides haws once more
resumed, and within the last four days we have had a much
heavier fall than usually ooeurs throughout September.
