We have receiTed advice* from Bombay to Jan.
28, Calcatts to Jan. 23, and from Hong Hong to
Jan. 16:

THE BOMBAY MAILS.

From the Boosday Chute* of hot. 28.)

Five days only have elapsed since the lame of oar
last Overland ;mammy. The news we have to give
is therefore bat ► =Y.
The oommande?-m-chief moved on the 14th
inst. with the hCed:quarters of his army, tq a
position near Kanc4l, oceu_pied up to that time
by Walpole's brigade,'. That corps had .Inisn
previously thrown for,werd to the Ganges.. far
the purpose of coustruoh:nj a bridge, at a pint
opposite the confluence 0., that river with the
Kamifoofle• Brigadier WOpole completed the
required bridge, and in obedie.nce to orders crowd
the Ganges by it into Rohilcund. The commander-
in-chief reviewed and inspected the corps pre-
vious to its departure for Bareil/y, whither it was
to march for the purpose of cl thstt city of 4s

with the main body until he had received from Agra
a siege train to be escorted down by H. M.'s 38th.
The rebels who pulled from Rohilcond Into the
Moozuffernuggur district on the 10th of January at
Kunkhul, were beaten by Captain Boisragon and
driven back across the river.

The ex-King of Delhi stall suffering from fever,
the trial of the Nawab of Furrucknugger was taken
before his. It was supposed that he would recover
soon, and that his case would come on no later than
the 19th instant. The statement made some weeks

since in the House of Commons by Mr. Vernon
Smith will prepare our readers for hearing that
Mahomed Sahadoor Shah is not, under any circum-
stances, to be sentenced to death.
The Calpee rebels are still in force; some say that
they are ander the leadership of Nana Sahib, and
that this chief is threatening us in the direction of
Nagode. If this be so, the gradual concentration of
columns from Jubbulpore, Hews, and Sehore, will
soon put an end to his resistance.
The only intelligence of any moment from this
presidency will be that of an engagement between
Captain Montgomery, the superintendent of police
at Ahmednaggur, and a gang of Bheels in the vici-
nity of Chandore, on the road to Malligaum. Cap-
tain Montgomery, three officers, and fifty men were
wounded.

The case of the inspected Purdaaee Luximon
Dheja is still undecided, but when it came on
again for hearing on the 25th, on the motion
for the attachment of the gaoler of Tanna, the
Advocate General informed the Court that

news had been received by telegraph from Cal-
cutta, under date of the 23rd, to the effect
that the supreme government had passed a legis-
lative enactment to meet the case in question.
Certain clause, in the act of 1827 had been
struck out, and the act itself, empowering the
Governor of Bombay to imprison suspected per-
sons, had been extended to Bombay. Besides this,
an act of 1830, giving the Governor-General in
Council power to detain suspected persons within
the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, had also
been extended to Bombay. Under these circum-
stances the case was, by consent of all parties, post-
poned. The conflict between the government and
the Supreme Court will probably now be settled
amicably.
The English mail of the 26th December came in
on the 24th, and brought us news of Lord Palzper-.,
ston's determination to place the Indian dominions
under the crown.
