Advim from Calcutta of August S announce that
nearly 6,000 men of the local European force have
claimed their decharge in Bengal, the Nort•weat,
aad the Poojaub ; and the returns from the Bombay
aad Andras presidencies will raise the total to 10,000.
Of the Bengal Artillery then aro about 800, of the
Infantry 5,200, and of the light cavalry probably
2,000. Detachments of the discharged men 'renew
being sent down from Allahabad to Calcutta, and
ships hare hien engaged to convey them and their
familiars to Instead at the rats of 194 re. for each
adult, and 97 re. for each child. Lord Clyde's en-
postuletory general order has had as yet but a triflarg
effect. So fu as is known not more than from 30 to
50 hays withdrawn their application for discharge.
Officers are volunteering in large numbers to take
charge of the men on their way home. They are
to enjoy Indian pay and allowances, will probably
have three months in England, and will return is

We have received by Overland Moil our Aisle&
lian files to July 18.
The news of the war in Italy had caused immense
excitement, and the possibility of an abandonment of
neutraltty by England bad been taken so seriously
that all party difference* sad load disputer had
been forgotten in the general aamiety for the safety
of the colony. For It is noticeable, although not at
all eurprisini, that the Australian public was agreed
in believing that if we went to war it would be
cm the side of Autris.

A public meeting, on the subject of local defences,
had been held in Melbourne, and his Excellency the
Governor attended to give tranquillising imamate.
The Victorian parliament was prorogued to the
10th of August, with a view to dissolution and the
election of a new one under the Reform Act. The
royal tamest has been given to a bill limiting the du-
ration of parliaments to three years.
