OVERLAND MAIL,

(From the Third Edition of the Morning Herald.)

We have received, by extraordinary express, in ad-
vance of the Overland Mail, our dispatches from
Bombay of Oct. 2, and from Calcutta of Sept. 20.
The chief interest of the news now come to hand lies
in the preparations made for the attack upon Burmah
which appear to have been of a most formidable de-
scription. The latest date from Rangoon is of the
12th Sept. The first division of troops was to start
from Promo on the 18th, which place it was expected
to reach in about a fortnight. The second division,
it was thought, would leave about three weeks after-
wards, and when both should join, battle miuld at
once be given to the enemy, who were stockaded
eight or ten miles from Pro me, beyond the reach of
the steamers. Trade at Calcutta was not so good as
per previous mail, but at Bombay it was brisk, and
the money market easy.

(From the Overland Bombay Times of Oct. 2.)
SUMMARY.—We have news from Burmah to the
12th September. The troops were all healthy, and
in high spirits. The first division of the force des-
tined to attack Promo was to move on the 18th, by
which date all the reinforcements would have arrived.
The 2nd division would leave about the Bth of Octo-
ber—the two amounting to about 7,000 men, of whom
one-half were Europeans.
The enemy, said to be strongly stationed out of
reach of the steamers eight or ten miles from Prome,
Would be attacked by the united force while the
troops on board the flotilla push on and take the city.
It was supposed that about a fortnight would be oc-
cupied in the move from Rangoon to Prome—the
fighting part of the work was not thought likely to
detain them long on the way, and steam removed the
difficulties and dangers of advance.
Rilntg of
is said that the Governor-General has given the
Burmah a second opportunity of obtaining
Peace without sacrifice of territory if he will meet
the charges of the war to the let of September,
apologise for past misconduct, and assure us of
future good behaviour. The N. W. frontier is
disturbed, and more troops are on the wing to
chastise the hill-men. We have had unusually
and wet weather for September; in the
beginning of the month the shipping suffered severely.
the Court of Directors are said substantially to have
aPprovecl of the conduct of Colonel Outram, and re-
commended his employment in that department of
the service in which he has been so long distin-
guished.

Considerable excitement has arisen in our military
circles on the removal of Major Shawe from the corn-
reand of the 22d N. I. stationed at Kurrachee, pre-
taratory to taking his trial by court-martial. Con-
rary to the first principles of discipline and dictates
of common sense, the officer in question had been

Just stripped by authority of the Home Government,
and most justly so, of a large portion of his dominions
'on the subject of his supposed wrongs ; anything
amore unmilitary is inconceivable.
tiaroda corruption and intrigue continue as scan-
dalous as
of as ever : the Settanee Joteebaee, the innocent
victim such frightful cruelties, is yet without lre-
dress' The Governor-General is at Calcutta, Sir
Henry Pottinger at Madras. Lord Falkland pro-
