THE BOMBAY MAIL•

The above mail brings dates from Bombay to the

9th June.
The Bombay Gazette says—" The past fortnight
has not been an eventful period in India, and we
are not called to record any events of general in-
terest. The south-west monsoon may be considered
to have fairly set in. The whole of the west coast,
from Comorin to Bombay, has been visited with
rain, and there is every appearance of a heavy fall

soon in Bombay."
The same journal contains the following sum-
mary of news
" His Excellency the Governor of Bombay is still
at the Mahableshwar hills, but will be in Poona
shortly, as the monsoon has set in.

merce for the year 1862-63 states that the total
value of the trade of that port for the year was
£5,500,000 sterling, against about £3,000,000 the

he had written to the King of Persia on his father's
death, and on the receipt of an answ..r from the
Shah would communicate his intentions with regard
to the treaty to the Ameer. The Prince of Meshed
was on his way to Heerat, having left his troops
at Ghorian, to condole with Shah Nawaz Khan on
the occasion of his father's death.
" Major W. L. Merewether, C. 8., of the Bombay
Staff Corps, has been appointed political resident

" Lieut. Jackson, who was tried by court-martial
at Mooltan for flogging his servant to death at
Dora Ismail Khan, has been sentenced to penal
servitude for four years, and his name has been
struck off the rolls of the Royal Engineers from
the 21st of April last.
" Orders have been issued by the Governor Gene-
ral that all former prohibitions as to enlistment in
the Punjab are to be cancelled. No enlistments
taking place under the commander in chief's orders
ate to be interfered with by civil authorities.
"In the month of August next extensive and
numerous changes will take place in almost all the
branches of the administration, intended to
assimi-
