INDIA AND CHINA,

By the arrival of the Calcutta mail we have re-
ceived files of papers from Calcutta to the 23d Dec.,
Shanghai to the December, and Hong Kong to the
15th December.

We take the following from the Calcutta Eng-
lishman of
.221 December :

We are in receipt of Moulmein papers to the 10th inst.
The rumour that the Shan States, tributary to the King of
Burmah had broken out in open revolt, is not altogether
without foundation. It appears that the cause of quarrel
lay in the fact that one of the chiefs of the rebellion States,
named Moung-Naw-Pah, had been summoned to the court
at Mandalay, and, as it is reported, incarcerated without
any provocation, by order of the King. Having, however,
effected his escape from prison, he no sooner set foot on his
own territory than he ordered all the Burmese officials and
their subordinates, to the number of 300, to be killed. The
rest of the chief of the Shan States having at the same
time assembled a force of above 8,000 armed mes, threw
off their allegiance to the Burmese Crown, and placed
themselves in an attitude of defiance. A movement such
as this is far from surprising, the Burmese Government
being thoroughly detested for its rapacity and cruelty to
ail who come within its influence. In consequence of this
formidable outbreak, the King of Burmah has ordered a
conscription to be enforced to fill the ranks of the army
destined to act against the Shan States, but there ap-
pears no doubt whatever of the success of th-3 chiefs and
the discomfiture of his golden-footed Majesty. The trans-
port Light Brigade, which is to convey the remaining por-
tion of her Majesty's 68th Regiment to New Zealand, ar-
rived at Rangoon from this port on the 26th ult., after a
rather long run. This regiment leaves with the regret of all
the inhabitants, and their conduct while stationed at Ran-
goon has evidently been such as to fully warrant the esteem
in which it is held by them.

Since the departure of the outgoing mail nn the 20th inst.
we have receivel no additional news from England. The
'steamer with the London mail to Nov. 26 is now overdue
at Galle, and we are in hourly expectation of receiving tele-
graphic intelligence of her arrival at that port. Our latest
telegraphic dates from London are to Nov. 20.
Produce Market—For all descriptions of exportable goods
a very limited demand has existed during the past week ;
prices may be considered entirely nominal, there being no
inclination to ship most kinds of produce at the present
value of money.

Import Market—Piece goods—No change has taken place
in our market since the departure of the Bombay mail,
Little or no business has been done.

Freights—We have nothing new to record.

With regard to Major Gordon and the rebels, we have to
report that :-oochow has fallen. Gordon attacked the city
at 8 a.m. on Saturday, the sth inst., and entered the place
on the same morning. Dissension had broken out among
the rebels, and a party of them, desirous of surrendering
the city; cut the Mo Wang's head off. Rumour says that
30,0'04 wanted to surrender, and that 24,000 had remained
true to the cause ; and, moreover, that, of the latter number,
some still hold out in the different parts of the city. The
beheading of the Mo Wang has not only facilitated the cap-
ture of Soochow, bat must go a great way to demoralise the
rebels generally.
Hang-Chow will no doubt soon fall, and, failing other
means, the Imperialists will be able to stary the rebels out
of Nanking. Between surrender and death,e the Soochow
army will, no doubt, cease to exist.
" Hang-Chow and Nanking cannot keep up communica-
' tion ; and, as the rebels have not now (as they did in 1860
where else,
large army to help them from Kiangsee or any
when they burst through the besiegers of Nanking) any
they will soon be in a bad way. Full information has not
yet reached us. At the date of our last deices
