INDIA, CHINA, AUSTRALIA.

By the arrival of the Calcutta mail we have
received our private correspondence and files of
papers from Calcutta to May 8 ; Madras, May 14 ;
Hong Kong, April 26 ; Melbourne, April 25 ; and
Sydney, April 19.

CALCU rTA, MAY 8.

The little war in the Jyntea hills, in Eastern
Bengal, is nearly at an end. The wisdom of en-
trusting General Showers with full civil and mili-
tary power is seen in the submission of some of the
ringleaders. At Raliong Major Richardson was
surrounded by a party of some 200, a few of whom
he killed before they could escape. This war will
prove the greatest blessing if it directs the atten-
tion of Government to Assam.

CHINA.

HONGKONG, APRIL 27.

In public affairs the chief interest of all foreigners
still centres in the continued operations of the
Allied Forces against the rebels in the neighbour-
hood of Shanghai. Another expedition, on an in-
creasing scale (the combatants on the Imperial side
numbering some 2,400 men, of whom fully one-
half were Bricish), was made on the 17th inst. to
the town of Chao-poo, about 18 miles from Shang-
hai, on the east bank of the river Wongpoo. The
fortifications of the rebels proved to be unusually
strong and well planned, but well served artil-
lery soon drove the enemy out, and they suffered
severely, while the casualties in the attacking force
were trifling. It is quite clear thatthe rebels, as well
as the Imperialists, have the benefit of foreign intel-
ligence and knowledge. In the field they are quite
a match for their countrymen, trained or untrained,
who would find it very difficult indeed to dislodge
them if unassisted by Europeans. The Imperialists
have been collecting in force on the bank of the
river opposite Nankin, but the rebels there are
reported to have been strengthened by the arrival
of a large army, stated at 300,000 men.
By the mail just received it is learnt that her
Majesty's Government have declared their inten-
tion of protecting all the treaty ports, and much
anxiety is felt to know the precise nature and extent
of the instructions given.
The right of British subjects to visit Pekin when
provided with consular passports is also now allowed
by Mr. Bruce.
Neither from Japan nor Saignon is there any in-
telligence of importance.
The steamer Orissa leaves to-day at 2 p.m. with
the outward mails, having delivered on the 24th
inst. those from London of March 12.

tion.
