INDIA.

By the arrival of t►he Overland Mail we have re-
ceived journals and correspondence from Calcutta
to July 1, and Bombay, July 12.
We make the following extracts from the sum
mary of the Bombay Gazette:—
" The intelligence of the death of Lord Canning
was received in Bombay by telegram on the sth of
July. The intelligence casts a gloom over every
community that it reaches in India ; it causes grief
to the heart of every individual capable of knowing
and judging of the worth of the late Viceroy. We
know not what measures may be adopted by the
Government of India in relation to it. There is a
general feeling in this part of the country that the
Viceroy should appoint a season of public mourn-
ing on account of this national loss and bereave-
ment. The magnanimity of Lord Canning, his
calm stability of judgment in the midst of the most
biassing influences, his justice in the midst of
mighty maze of events which exposed him to the
severest reproach for its evenhanded administra-
tion, his wise acts and measures of policy, which-
have done such inestimable good to India, and have
fairly started her on her career as a nation, will
never be forgotten, nor cease to be extolled by the
people of India.
It has been decided that the prize taken at Dhar
is to be distributed among the actual captors—the
officers and men composing the Malwa Field Force
under Major-General (now Sir Charles) Stewart,
K.C.B. The prize is worth £lOO,OOO, and the
claimants are very few in number.

The man who was for some time supposed to
be the Nana Sahib has died in prison. An order
h3d just been given for his release.

CALCUTTA.

The following items of intelligence are taken from
the Calcutta Englishman:—

The new High Court of Calcutta was inaugurated
on the Ist of July. On the previous day the Supreme
Court ceased to exist. I❑ notifying the fact, the
Chief Justice observed that he had only seen that
morning, for the first time, the charter under
which the new High Court was constituted. It
appeared altogether to aboiish the present prac-
tice of the Court, and to tend to assimilate its
form of procedure to that now in force in the
Nlotussil Courts. The Advocate-General, having
very justly complained that, while he himself had
only had a cursory glance at the charter, the bar
and attorneys were entirely ignorant of its pro-
visions, said he feared much confusion would
arise at first; it had, therefore, been determined-
that the Court should not sit for the despatch of
business till time had been allowed for framing
rules for the admission of practitioners and the
constituion of a bar.
A report had reached from Nepaul, and from
a reliable source, that the notorious rebel leader
Feroze Shah had been killed some six weeks bile-t
by some Ghoorka robbers, he being then wander.
ing in the Nepaul hills in the guise of a fAquir
with only two or three companions.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

GREAT WESTERN.

It appears that the directors of this company have
decided on recommending the payment of a divi-
dend at the rate of a half per cent. per annum for
the half-year ending the 30th of June last, car-
rying forward a balance of about £2,820.
