OVER.LAND MAIL
INDIA AND CHINA,
(From the Chronicle.)
We have received letters and papers from India
and China. The dates are—Calcutta, March 6 ;
Bombay, March 15 ; and China (liong-Kong), Fe-
bruary 27.

BOMBAY, Maitcu 15.
[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
The present mail from India leaves Bombay two
days earlier than usual. It is taken on to Aden by
a small steamer belonging to a private company, the
Honourable Company having nearly all their steamers
engaged in connexion with the Burmah war. The
London mails of the 24th of January and 9th of Fe-
bruary arrived here on the 9th of March; the former
mail was delayed.a fortnight at Suez, in consequence
of an accident to the Haddington near Suez, by which
her mainmast was broken.

The Burmese war had not yet advanced beyond
the stage of preparation. The latest news received is
very unsatisfactory, but I cannot do better than give
you the Friend of India's summary of the most re-
cent intelligence :
"It was thought by some that the question of
peace or war was still dependent on the receipt of
communications from the Burmese authorities, and
that when they found we were so fully prepared for
war, they would be disposed humbly and submis-
sively to accept the terms we had offered. All these
expectations, however, have now vanished. The im-
liseoile King's letter may have been of a pacific ten-
dency, but those who wield the power of the state,
and with whom alone we have practically to do, are
evidently bent on trying conclusions with us on the
field, and they have left us no alternative but to resort
to arms. Every preparation has been made by them
at all assailable points on the coast, to meet and to
repel our troops, and we are fairly embarked in a
second Burmese war, in spite of the most anxious
desire to maintain peace.
" The preparations for war on our part, since the
Governor-General's return, have been carried on with
a degree of vigour and dispatch never exceeded and
seldom equalled in India. At this Presidency the
37th Native Infantry has been sent to guard Arra-
can, which will probably be invaded as soon as
hostilities are officially declared. A portion
of the 18th Royal Irish has been sent to Moulmein,
which is now protected by a force little short of
2,500 men. Her Majesty's 80th Foot is coming
down from Dinapore by water with all speed; and
so likewise is the 40th Native Infantry ; they
may be expected to, reach the Presidency by the
15th or 20th of the present month. One other
native corps will ba needed, but it is not known
which will be selected. The arsenal resounds with
the din of preparation, and it has been deemed neces-
sary, as we hear, to borrow some hours from the
Sunday for this work of necessity. The artillery
about to be dispatched will be of the most efficient
and formidable character, and cannot fail to fill the
minds of the barbarians with overwhelming astonish-
ment. The guns and the troops will embark in
steamers which are coming up to convey them. An
express has reached Madras, with instructions to hold
the following force in readiness for immediate em-
barkatiota-3 companies of European Artillery, H. M.
51st Regiment, and two regiments of native infantry.
For the conveyance of these troops a large squadron
of steamers was ordered by express "to leave Bombay
without delay. 'Within three hours after these orders
reached that Presidency every arrangement was com-
plete. The next morning the ships were reported to
be in such a state of equipment that they were
in orders to start on the third day. Of these vessels,
two are of 500-horse power and 1,500 tons ;
one of 300-horse power and 1,200 tons, all armed
with large swivel guns of 8-inch calibre, throwing
hollow shots, shells, or grapnell, to the distance
of a couple of miles. Two of the other steamers
are about half the size of the others, but both in
a highly efficient state. Including the Hugh Lindsay,
seven • steamers will be dispatched with troops from
Madras across the bay. The whole, when assembled
in Burmese waters, will form the largest, the most
efficient, and the most terrific fleet of steamers which
has ever been collected together in gib east. It will
consist of the Fero e Moo te:aa.
the Zenobia, the e .e t.usei .e*: ugh
Lindsay, the Tenasserim, the Fire Queen, the Enter-
prise, the Proserpine, and the Pblegethon, 12 steamers
belonging to the Honourable Company, and one, the
Hermes, of her Majesty's navy. The sudden assem-
blage of so magnificent a fleet of steamers, fully
armed and equipped, will serve to prove the astonish-
ing increase of power which the Government of India
derives from steam navigation, and the complete com-
mand which it holds of the whole sea coast from Suez
to the Yellow Sea."
The squadron now consists of twelve steamers and
three sailing vessels. A letter, dated Rangoon 23d
February, says :—" About a week ago a boat came
down from the Governor of Rangoon, on the plea of
asking the commodore what flag he would hoist on
going up the river, that orders might be given to
the stockades not to fire into the frigate, if she
passed up with any pacific intentions ; hut if they
had not a distinguishing flag they would certainly
be fired at from the stockades. The Commodore's
answer has not transpired: It is supposed to be
the intention of Governtnerit to attack Rangoon ; this,
I think, will be wrong. The Burmese have made
every preparation there to receive us. We should go
up the Bassein river, where there is plenty of water
for the largest steamer up to Bassein; we could then
cut off the communication between the upper and
lower provinces, and settle .ourselvea at Prome, and
there dictate terms during the monsoon."
In my last I mentioned that the troops under Sir
Colin Campbell, in the little war on our north-west
frontier, had returned to tbeir quarters. Since then
I hear from Peshawur that the hill people, taking ad-
vantage of the withdrawal of our troops, have re-
turned to the former scenes of their robbery and
repine, and burned several unprotected villiages. No
troops will go out again before April, when it is said
to be the intention of the authorities to build a fort
in the opposite direction, at the mouth of the Kohat
Pass. A north-west summary of the events which
have transpired during the fortnight says :—" Our
letters from the neighbourhood of Dhera Ghazee Khan
mention that the border tribes have made a successful
capture of forty camels belonging to the Hon. Com-
pany. Brigadier Hodgson was at Asunee, inspecting
the posts."
From Herat we learn that the Persians have eva-
cuated that city, and returned to Meshed, having
first concluded a treaty with the son of Yar Mo-
hammed. It is not easy to account for this retro-
grade movement in the hour of victory, especially as
they were actively supported by the Alikzyes, and
might easily have obtained reinforcements of native
Persians. It has been surmised that our Ambassador
bad represented to the Shah that the British Govern-
ment would never consent to his retaining possession
of Herat.
The whole of Ali Moorad's artillery has been
received and lodged in the arsenal of Bukkttr. The
force at Roree had broken up. The Mooltan bri-
gade was hastening back with all speed to canton-
ments.
It is stated that a formidable outbreak of the
Moplahs is expected to take place in Southern Mala-
bar very shortly. The authorities are taking measures
to apprehend 'their high priest, who was the prime
mover of the late insurrection, and it appears that
4,000 of that exasperated class of people have resolved
to protect and defend him. •
The intelligence from the Nizam's dominions is
contained in the subjoined extract of a letter :
" About two o'clock in the afternoon of the 26th
February, the Nizam took it into his head to return
to the city, and directed his Prime Minister, Suraj
00l Moolk, to follow him immediately. A dun,gee, or
party of about 50 patens, was however waiting at the
gate for arrears of pay, and as soon as the Minister's
palkee made its appearance, the patine fired into it,
and wounded Suraj in the face, the ball passing a
little below the cheek bone, and lodging near his ear.
A terrible struggle was the consequence. The.
Minister's Arab soldiery immediately fired upon the
tracted the
Pt.'ans the whole of them were either immediately
of or severely wounded. Rumour reports that 31

noticed last having prevailed throughout the whole of this

much the stale as before. For goods and yarns business
