INDIA.

We take the following from the Calcutta Eng.
lishman of the 22d November:—

" The Legislative Council have been holding their
(
sittings in due order, and their members are in
full swing of committee work; but as far as they
have as yet entered on their duties, nothing of para-
mount importance has been brought forward.
" ' Coming events cast their shadows before,' and
all the indications of the immediate future of Hy-
drabad tend in one direction. The latest we learn
thence is, that Captain Sinclar, of the Madras esta-
blishment, commanding a regiment of the contin-
gent, had been wounded while at the head of his
regiment at Sungum, a place within 60 miles of
Hydrabad. The regiment was marching to garrison
Jaulnah, when two Arabs posted themselves on the
road. As they could not be prevailed upon to get
out of the way, Capt. Sinclair got off his horse to
insist on their removal, and was stabbed by one of
them. The two Arabs were immediately struck down
but not severely injured, for the next we hear of
them is of their having arrived at a village 20 miles
from the scene of action. Capt. Sinclair's wound
is said to be not dangerous. The ferocity of the
Arabs is proverbial, but how are we to understand
their growing fearlessness of danger in the teeth of
such a force, or indeed whenever they have a mind
to use the dagger against any person for any real or
supposed injury or insult.
" Oudenath Sing has been taken, and Gujraj
Sing, the man who gave information against Madho
Rao, is at Hydrabad. We hope one or other of
these papers, as well as the papers of Madho Rao,
may render us full information of the treasonable
practices of this place. If many are not proved to
have been concerned in the plot, we shall consider
disposed to credit them with.
tt oh fees ree Pt: eoepnl e discreet—a
quality we have not here.

" Since writing the above we are glad to have
learned that the Government has at length seen
the necessity of grappling seriously with the re-
bellion or opposition to its power and authority
in the Jynteah and adjoining districts. The Ist
battalion of Bengal Military Police has been
ordered down to the Presidency from Soorie, for
immediate service in the Jynteah district, and will
leave Calcutta on Saturday by steamer for Sylbet.
We also hear that some light field-guns and howit-
zers have been ordered up to Jynteah from Dacca,
in charge of the Eurasian and Christian company
of artillery at the latter station ; but, in the first
instance, this artillery will proceed to Cherra Poon-
jee, there to await orders when required to act
against the refractory hill tribes."

CHINA.

HONGKONG, Nov. 1.

The Imperial troops, out of reach of aid from the
allies, are reported to have achieved lately some im-
portant successes in the north. Sang-ko-linsin is
stated to have defeated with great slaughter a large
body of rebels entering the province of Shantung
from Honam ; and Shin-paon has, it is said,
quelled the Mahomedan insurrection in Shensi, and
restored the province to tranquillity. The accounts
of Imperial victories, however, generally admit of
subsequent modification.
From Shanghai the re-capture of Kah•ding is
announced. The force employed on the Imperialist
side was a very strong one, being composed of 1,850
English and 400 French troops, with some 2,300
trained Chinese, and 38 heavy pieces of ordnance.
Of the English a portion were Marines and blue
jackets. The rebels fought well, and returned the
fire steadily during a severe bombardment from all
the attacking guns of two hours and a half's dura-
tion, but on the advance of the storming party gave
way, and as many as could escaped from the opposite
Aide of the city. loss is not mentioned; but
