INDIA.

It is stated, in the Cakutta Phenix of June 3,
that the conduct of the dissatisfied European soldiers
has been excellent, and at most stations they were
foremost in doing honour to her Majesty's birthday.
They now " quietly await the result of an appeal to
parliament."
On the 24th of May, at 10/ a.m., the governor-
general held his first levee as vi.eroy of India. The
Bishop of Calcutta, with the archdeacon and the
clergy of the metropolis, read en address to the
Queen, congratulating her Majesty on the pacifica-
tion of the country, and exprering " the views of
the clergy upon the relation of the government of
this country to its subjects in a religious point of
view. The bishop then congratulated Lord
Canning on the honours with which his lab3urs bad
been recently rewarded, and hoped that he might
long live to enjoy them. The governor-general, in
reply, stated that the address should be duly for-
warded to the Secretary of Stat: for India, and
thanking the clergy for the congratulations addressed
to himself and his government, concluded with an
expression of gratitude for the " steady intro action
of peace over the whole of the vast empire." In the
evening there was a ball at Govetament House.
The Phceniz, says Lord Canning, intends to leave
Calcutta in September next for a tour in the north-
west provinces.
The Englishman is informed that the Governor-
General in Council has refused to allow missionaries
to visit native jails at stated hours, unless sent for by
any native. To act otherwise would be "to tarn the
machinery of justice and civil government to religious
purposes," and mum it to be said that we have,
" under the pretence of adminlstering justice, made
it a method of conversion."

The Englishman estimates the Patna opium crop
this season at 18,000 chcsts. _ . ..

The Calcutta' volunteer guards have been die-
banded, and the Governor-Gene&, on the let inst.,

The wheat harvest was far advanced in several
states, sod the accounts were generally quite favour-
able. In Kentucky the crop was described as un-
precedentedly large, and toe quality exceedingly fine.
In Tennessee the crop was large, though in some
sections slightly damaged by the Sy. In Maryland
and Virginia the papers of those states all concur
that the crop was excellent. In Maryland
and Lower Virginia the harvest was pro-
gressing. In Alabama and North Carolina the yiele
of wheat was remarkably good. In Southern Illi-
nois the papers say harvesting was going on in good
earnest, and the yield wee very heavy—no rust.
There is no doubt that in all the North Western
States the crop will be a fair average. In Ohio
about one quarter part of the wheat had been lost
by the frost, which came at the moat critical period
of the plant, but the planting was so large that an
average quantity would be harvested.
