FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

PARIS, Thursday, Aug. 6.
L' Union of this morning remarks upon its own
latest advices from Rome that it is assured anew,
in those advices, that the health of the Sovereign
Pontiff continues to be excellent. His Holiness
does not suffer, it adds, as there was reason to fear
he might have suffered, from the excessive heat of
the season. He makes each day his habitual pro-
menade, to the great satisfaction of the population
of Rome, who seize with eagerness every oppor-
tunity of thus lavishing upon their Pontife-Roi,
these evidences of their attachment.

By the arrival of the Overland Mail we have

received the journals and correspondence that left
Calcutta on June 23. The steamer, the Bengal, put
back on the 29th with a broken screw, and the mails
were brought on by the Mooltan, which sailed from
Calcutta on July 3, arriving at Suez on the 28th.
The principal intelligence brought by this mail has
been anticipated, but from an extra of the overland
Hurkaru of July 2 we make the following extracts—
" CALCUTTA, Thursday, July 2.
"In consequence of a heavy gale from the south-
west, considerable damage has been done to ship-
ping in the Bay of Bengal. The Peninsular and
Oriental steamship Simla, which left Madras a little

after 10 a.m. on Monday, the 22d June, did not
reach her moorings until the afternoon of Sunday,
the 28th. The run frem Madras to the Sandheads

was made in 56 hours, but as the pilot brigs had
been forced out to sea, the Simla had no alternative
but to follow their example. It was not until her
third approach to the mouth of the river, that
she was able to obtain the services of a pilot. An-
other of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's
steamers, the Bengal, taking out the mails of the
23d of June, was disabled in the storm by the
breaking of her screw shaft, but fortunately suc-
ceeded in making the river. Her mails and pas-
sengers have been transferred to the Mooltan, which
had just before been sent into dock, and is decidedly
the slowest boat on this line.

"The British East India Steam Navigation Com-
pany have been no less unfortunate than their mag-
nificent rival. The screw steamer Sydney, lately
purchased from Government, sailed from Calcutta
on Wednesday, the 24th, having on board some 540
men, women, and children belonging to the regiment
of Sikh Pioneers, bound for Colombo. But no sooner
did she fairly get out to sea than her total unfit-
ness to be employed on such service was proved
beyond a doubt. Between decks the water was fre-
quently knee-deep, and not a berth in the whole ship
that might not have served as a bath. The misery
of the poor soldiers, and their still more helpless
wives and little ones, was truly pitiable, but they
bore up manfully through their sickness, and worked
at the pump night and day. The greatest fear en-
tertained was lest the fire should be put out, the
danger of which was more than once very imminent;
however, by constant exertions and by throwing a
portion of her cargo overboard, she kept afloat, and
late on Saturday evening passed Saugor on her re-
turn to Calcutta. Another steamer, the Australian,
likewise purchased by this Company from the Go-
vernment, was compelled, in a similar manner, to
throw a considerable portion of her cargo overboard
on the run to Akyab."
