FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.--Another fatal accident,
resulting from the want of proper regnimi.no in

A heavy coal train was proceeding, through Clarborough
tunnel, four milescfrem netfordi, on its way to the south,
foW)wed by a light goods train. The tunnel being full
•of steam, the driver of the latter did 'not perceive the
train before him; and dashcd into it. His-engine, after

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

INDIA.

. .
We have received by express from Marseilles
despatches from India and China in anticipation of
the overland mail. The following summary of
intelligence is dated Bombay, March 14 :
The last fortnight has been 'unusually barren of
incident, but the ;little news,,there is is good. The
nhith-West frontier is quieter than it has been for
yearsi and the Delia c.,'azettd 'of the.22d. of February
states that " Dost Mahomeel has sent Jubbar Khan
as envoy to Major Edwardes, Commissioner of,
Peshawur, to beg that, bygones be bygones, that
the past should be forgiven, and 'to declare his .
readiness .to join. us against the Russians, Persians,
and all other comers. 7 ,The report requires con-
firthation,' but it has not been contradicted, and is
not improbable.- Dost Mahomed is one of the
shrewdest' rulers in Asia ; he is well- acquainted
with our power, and .he cannot but see that the
polity of the Czar is at least as aggressive as our
own, and that, our troops and magazines, being
Much near to Cabul than those of Russia can be
for rria:ny'years to come, a quarrel:with the British
is much more to be dreaded than one with Russia.
A close ...4.ffgham alliance would be much more ad-
'raiitagi.ous to British India than a Persian une, for
were the Affghan.- passes closed, an invading army
could only enter by those debouching on Scinde,
and there it would have the army of -Bombay on
is right flank, and that of the Punjab on its left,
and the great Indian desert in its front.

The news from Burinah is not of so favourable a
Character. An insurrection has broken out in the
province of Bassein, which has hi bee been the
.only quiet portion' of oufialirin-wri,
Immediately it was annexed the Commissioner,
Major Fytch, with: the assistance of Capt. Rennie
of the Indian navy, a party of English seamen, and
his own native levies, cleared the province of the
enemy by a partisan campaign, which forms one of
the few brilliant episodes of the late Burmese war.
Since this no dacoit has dared to show himself in
Fytch's districts, cultivation has been unin-
terrupted, and the province is now the granary of
Pegue ; the late outbreak can, therefore, be only
attributed to political motives. A short time since
two Burmese noblemen, who had been formerly
employed in the province, arrived from Ava and
iet. up the royal • standard near_ its northern extre-
Inity, and collected some hundreds of followers.
Major Fytch immediately went at them, with all
the force he could collect at Bassein, and by the last'
Lecounts had beaten theca, after some hard fighting,
in which he' had cut down one of the chiefs himself,
iut the Burmese GOvernor effected his escape, and
vas still at large in the jungles with a considerable,
force. The withdrawal of the small garrison of
Bassein, which had accompanied the commissioner,
caused disturbances, in the vicinity, and gave rise
to apprehensions of an attack on the town. Major
Fytch was accordingly summoned, and, on his ar-
rival it was ascertained that a body of the rebels
had been detached to attack the place, and were
within five hours' march of it. His return pre-
vented the attack, and on the following day he
marched against the enemy, whom, according to
the last accounts, he has again beaten. The. mail
that left Basiein •on the 211, of 'January returned
on the, 28th, baying &natl. the villages on both sides
of the creek, ,through _which ,it ,uaually, passed, in. t,
the bands of the Burmese ; the mails were accord-
ingly despatched by the river to Rangoon. A
company of the 19th Madras Native Infantry,
under the command.'of Lieutenant Shuldham, 26th
Madras Native Infantry, had fallen in with a strong
body of dacoitS on their way to Bassein by water.
Lieutenant Shuldham landed his men, leaving a
native officer with a small party to protect the boats,
and attacked the dacoits and burnt their village,
before reaching which he had to march a long dis-
tance. On his return he found the subadar had
been attacked, but with his small party very gal-
lantly defended himself. A gang of some 200
dacoits, or 'patriots,' as some people are beginning
to call them, were committing outrages in the
southern part of the Dalla district, and four com-
panies of the Pegue Light Infantry had been sent
to look after them, and an armed party was
despatched is boats up the Bassein creek for the
same purpose, but the result of the combined ex-
pedition was not known. An army, under the
direction of the Court of Ava, is said to be ap-
proaching the frontier, and the Chronicle considers'
that the end will be the subjugation of the entire
Burmese empire.
Private letters from Tonghoo -announce a brugh
between a detachment of Burmese regular troops and
our forces stationed there. Considerable loss is
said to have been sustained on both sides, and two
officers of the Ist Madras _Fusiliers, Captain Geils,
and Lieutenant Grant, were severely wounded.
The contest is said only to have been decided by
the bayonet. The-latter collision was occasioned by
an attack on the party which is now engaged under
Major Allen in marking out the British boundary
near Tongheo... A... detachment of the Madras
Fusiliers (Europeans) went out to support them,
and routed thki.enenly after a severe encounter, in
which the latter. showed unusual pluck, making a
hand-to-hand fight of it. Both the officers with
the detachment were wounded. According to some
amounts, the attack was not made by Burmese
soldiers, but by the subjects of au independent
Shah Chief, through whose land our boundary
passes. In consequence of these collisions rumours
of disasters in Burmah became rife in the Calcutta
Bazaar, and the• people were asking, Who has
been killed in Burma!' 1' The Bengal Efurkaru of
the following day endeavoured. to allay this appre-
hension

" We believe that the .official reports received from
rtsegoon are calculated to set at rest all the apprehen-
sions which were engendered by the vague rumours afloat
yesterday. There has, as far- as we can learn, - been
neither death nor disaster in Pegue, and certainly no as-
sassination. An attack had been made upon the party
making out the boundary near Tonghoo, and Captain
Geils and Lieutenant Grant, of the Ist Madras Fusi-
liers, had been wouuned, but no officers had been killed,
and the attacking. party was repulsed with great slaugh-
ter. The -,Baßsei,) outbreak, of which intelligence was
brotiglit by the previous steamer, had been effectually
quelled, and all was quiet in that district."
Making every allowance for the exaggeration of
alarmists, it is evident that little progress has as
yet been made in establishing, a state of peace and
security in our Barinese territories. .The British
,force occupying Pegue is maintained on a war foot
ing, and is still, I believe, styled " the army of
Ava ;" it consists of 18 regiments of infantry, five
of which are British, 11 of Madras and Bengal
sepoys, and 2 (the Arracan. Battalion and Pegue
Light Infantry) local ; 1 regiment of irregular
cavalry, 5 companies of artillery, and 4 of sappers
and miners,—altogether 18,000 or 19,000 men,
with 50 guns. These troops are divided
,among
five stations—Rangoon, Tonghoo, and Moulmein,
held by the Madras troops; and Narringan and
Thayet Myoo, occupied by the Bengal portion of
the - force. The two local regiments occupy the
Tharawaddy district ; the garrison of. Pegue is a
detLichment from the Rangoon force. The Ton-
ghoo force provides for the defence of Shoy-gyu,
and the Moulmein force furnishes detachments for
Bassein, Sitang, Tavoy, and Mergui.
Some fighting is going on at Abbas Bunder, in
the Persian Gulf. The authorities of that place
have offered to pay'tribute to the Shah, but refuse
to allow the Persian troops to enter their town ;
they were accordingly attacked, but the Muscat
authorities immediately sent out three vessels and
2,000 men, under the command of Malionaed Ben
Salem, to the Assistance of Abbas, and large rein-
forcements were to follow. The Chief of Aboo-
jag" was also to render assistance to Abbas. The
Persians had been: compelled to retreat, but. had
returned with a larger force ; the fighting appears
to have recommenced, for the latest accounts from
Muscat report that distant cannonading had been
heard at sea in passing Abbas. Should the Per-
sians take part with Russia, these feuds may be
turned to some good account.
The trial. of Quarter-Maser Gillespie, of Her
Majesty's 98th Regiment, for the wilful murder
of his native servant: has commenced.
Colonel •Gough, C. 8., and Brigadier-General
Tennant, G.C,8., were dangerously ill--theiformer
at Baverly, and the latter at Lahore. The head-
quarters of the Bengal Artillery are at length re-
moved from Dumdum, near Calcutta, to Meerut,
near Delhi.
The rapid progressof the Indian electric telegraph
reflects the highest -credit on Dr. O'Shatighnessy
and his staff; the telegraphic communication be-
tween Calcutta and the Punjab frontier at Loo-
diava will probably be completed before this
reaches England. Dr. O'Shaughtiessy pledged
himself to the Governor-General to open all the
lines between Calcutta, Delhi, and Bombay, ex-
tending over 3,000 miles, for regular correspon-
dents, in two years from November, 1853. He
has now further pledged himself to the public, in a
letter to . the Englishman, to resign his office and
make room for some- better man, if lie does not
complete these lines within half the time, and at
20 per cent. under the ,estimated cost. In the
concluding passage of his letter he states that,

• after having had as extensive .opportunities of
observation as any man has yet enjoyed, he knows
the English system of electric telegraph to be the
worst in construction, the worst in organisation,
and the very worst in practical working, of all
those adopted in Europe or America." lam eon_
fident that competent persons, acquainted with
the modification of electric telegraphs used in
America and Germany, will agree with the opinion
thus expressed by Dr. O'Shaughnessy, and I have
often been astonished that the marked interiority
and enormous comparative cost of the English sys-
tem has not been authoritatively noticed.
Colonel Outram is now at Bombay, but leaves
for Baroda on the 17th inst. The Settanee Jeeta.b-
how is dead. Her death having immediately fol-
lowed the reinstatement of her champion in the.
Baroda Residency'is of course vulgarly attributed
to poison ; but; as the Settanee had been indis-
posed for some weeks previously, there do not ap-
pear to be any reasonable grounds for such suspi-
cion.

Lord Elphinstone went, on the morning of March
13, by special train from Bombay to Callian, and
thus opened the railway line as far as that station,
no train having ever heretofore gone the entire
length of Callian. Traffic along the line will now
commence almost immediately. • The extended line
to Shahpore, 16 miles beyond Callian, has been
commenced.

Lord Elphinstone and the Commander-in-Chief
are still at the Presidency.
Owing to the native holydays the general and
money market is low and dull.
