OVERLAND INDIA► MAIL.

We have received Calcutta papers to the Bth ult.
There is very little news, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing summary from the Bengal Hurkaru:—
" The great local event of the last few days has
beLn the departure of the Viceroy for the Upper Pro-
vinces. His Excellency left on the morning of
Thursday last, end reached Benares on the evening
of Friday. Yesterday a Durbar was held, and the din-
ner given by the railway authorities came off, at
which the Viceroy was present. The Lieutenant-
Governor joined the Viceregal party at Dina pore, and
proceeded to Benares with it, in order to be present at
the Darbar,:&c. He is expected to return to the Pre-
sidency about the 15th inst. The Bengal Council
has latterly met only once a fortnight instead of
weekly, and the session is expected to come to a
close in this month. Sir C. Trevelyan seem to have
got fairly to work, and various reports, more or less
authentic, are afloat as to his policy. The income-
tax, it we may credit rumour, is doomed, but we
are not so sanguine as a daily oontemporary appears
to be upon this point. A report has been prevalent
during the last few days that the Government in-
tended to pay off a portion of the 4 per cent. loan, but
we havebeen unable to trace the rumour to anyauthen-
tic source. The spirit of revolt appears to be spread.
ing on our North-East frontier, and what at first
promised to be easily suppressed is every day pre-
senting new difficulties. It has been found necessary
to organise a system of locomotion for the troops
and material, and much delay and difficulty is
caused in consequence of the coolies having ab-
sconded in a body. Every day lost in striking a
decided blow adds fuel as it were to the fire already
kindled, but the most strenuous endeavours are
being made by the Government to obviate these
difficulties."

MR. SIMS REEVES.—We have authority to state
that the report of this gentleman being seriously ill is
altogether without foundation. Mr. Reeves sang at the
National Choral Society on Wednesday evening, but was
prevented from singing on Thursday night at St. James's
Hall by a slight affection of the throat. That there is
nothing serious, or approaching to it, in our great tenor's
ailment, may be judged from the fact of his announcing his
intention to sing this evening at the Monday Popular
Concerts.

NON-RESIDENT BOROUGH VOTERS,—Mr. Collins'
bill, now before the House of Commons, proposes
that in all cases the seven miles shall be measured from the
boundary of the borough, so that a person may be on the
Parliamentary voters' register if he resides within seven
miles from any part of the borough.
THE CONTEMPLATED CHANGES TN THE CIRCUITS.
—The long-contemplated changes in the circuits
are at last, we understand, resolved upon. The Northern
and Midland circuits will cease to exist under their present
appellations. The counties which they traverse are to be
distributed among two new circuits :—The Lancashire cir-
cuit to go to Appleby, Carlisle, Lancaster, Liverpool, and
Manchester; and the Yorkshire circuit with the assizes at
Newcastle, Durham, and York, with those of Lincoln,
Nottingham, and Derby, from the Midland circuit. The
remaining places on the Midland circuit—Oakham, Leices-
ter, Northampton, and Warwick—are to be added to the
Norfolk circuit.—lohn Bull.
SUPERANNUATIONS AND CHARITIES.—Another
portion of the Civil Service Estimates has been
printed, and shows a decrease of £11,253 as compared with
last year, the amount falling from £338,896 to £327,643.
The principal vote is of £176,462 for the superannuations
and compensation allowances of the public offices and de-
partments; the new allowances appearing now for the first
time on the estimate amount to £12,038 a-year. The vote
for the Dublin hospitals is to be the same as usual,—namely,
£15,845,—the sum recommended by the commission of
inquiry appointed in 1855. The Regium Donum is in-
creased from £39,747 to £40,278, there being eight new
grants to ministers at £69 4s. Bd. each, making the whole
number endowed 555.

SUICIDE OF A TRADESMAN IN A CHAPEL.—On
Saturday morning information was received by Mr.
Carttar, coroner for West Kent, that Mr. Thomas Red-
man, aged 60, a tradesman at Deptford, had committed
suicide in the Wesleyan chapel of that town. It appears
that the deceased, who was a builder, was engaged in effect-
ing some alteration in the ceiling of the chapel, and left
home as usual, shortly after six in the morning, to perform
his work. About nine o'clock his son entered the chapel
to assist him, when he discovered his father suspended from
a scaffold pole by a strong cord, which he had tied tightly
round his neck. On being cut down and medical assistance
procured life was pronounced to have been extinct some
time. The body now awaits an inquest.
EMIGRATION FOR COTTON OPERATIVES. The
Carlisle Relief Committee have at present under
their consideration the subject of emigration for cotton ope-
ratives. A week or two ago some letters were received by
the Carlisle Committee from Mr. Selfe, the London magis-
trate, suggesting that if any of the Carlisle cotton operatives
would be suitable emigrants for New Zealand they should
apply to Mr. Walcott for leave to participate in the £lO,OOO
grant made for that purpose, and stating that he himself,
as agent for the province of Canterbury in that colony, had
in his hands the sum of £5OO, which he thought would be ,
better employed in assisting distressed operatives to end.
grate, by paying their fare to the port of erabatcation
and defraying the cost of their outfits, than if it were I
frittered away in temporary relief. The Carlisle Committee I
have had the question underdiscussion two weeks, but doubt I
exists whether the cotton operatives of Carlisle would be
suitable emigrants. At the meeting of the committee on
Wednesday night, however, the Dean of Carlisle stated
hat he had received applications from 35 heads of families,
including 176 persons, all of whom were anxious to avail
themselves of the privilege. Most of the wen on the list
were described as labourers and weavers combined, some of
them working as agricultural labourers in the summer and
weaving in the winter, and others devoting much time to
gardening. It was resolved to forward this list to Mr.
Walcott, with a description of the qualifications of each, in
order that it might be ascertained if these were suitable
men. Until this answer is received no further applications
are to be entertained.

Towards the end of last year the inhabitants of
Leipsic sent to Garibaldi a wreath in silver as a
token of their admiration and sympathy. Garibaldi has
written the following acknowledgment:—" Y ur wreath
and the verses which accompany it—evidences of the sym-
pathy of the Germans with Italian affairs and with Italian
liberty—have caused me much delight. All peoples have the
same interests, and cannot be hostile towards each other.
They clearly understand this truth ; facts prove it more and
more every day, and when this truth is thoroughly under-
stood the liberty of Europe will be established. Receive
my thanks and a shake of the hand.—GAßlßALDL—Ca-
prera, Feb, 16, 1863.
M. Goat, tax-receiver residing at Londinieres
(Seine-hforieure), has during the last season been
amusing himself with a field sport, which would fill
English sportsmen with indignation—the destruction of
foxes by means of terriers. A few days since he killed six
old foxes, two males and four females, with their cubs,
making together 24, and which number, added to the re-
sults of previous sport, wake 68 destroyed.
