LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, J ULY 17, 1854.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

business occupy but a small corner of the town.
Considering these facts, a grave responsibilty at-
taches to our rulers in Ilot checking the movement
in its birth ; for it. is quite evident that,. by a, rapid
and simultaneous combination of the various an-
tagonistic Chinese societies, the-lives of the Euro-
pean community would be seriously, jeopardised on
any occasion that those baiided ruffians had suffi-
cient confidence in themselves: to make a bold
stroke for the mastery.- Hence. the necessity of
stern and decided measures in these occasional
lawless outbreaks." Ohr Calcutta intelligence
is not of such a late date as we had Apected,
owing to difficulties which have arisen in the
working of the electric telegraph. The Governor-
General had a great _ball, as usual, on the Queen's
birthday; and as yet has shown no symptoms
of moving towards the north-west. Again
a vacancy has been made in the secretaryship
of the Bank of Bengal by the death of Mr. Maples
so recently appointed to the office. This time the
deputy-secretary of the bank, Mr. Plumb, has been
appointed. Its rates of interest and discount have
been loWered lately. It is expected that the com-
mission to inquire into Rajah Brooke's- affairs will
be issued after the arrival of next mail, and that
Messrs. Prinsep and Devereux, the members of it,
will immediately thereafter proceed to the Straits.
The British Indian "Association continuos to hold
its monthly meetings, and is showing some signs
of activity. Two distingnishednatins died lately
at Calcutta, Russomoy Dutt and the Baboo Mutty
Loll Seal, who has left property vallied at more
than a crore of rupees: The Governor-General
has announced the abolition of_ the Off-reckon-
ing Fund. The clothing boards at the three
Presidencies have also been abolished, and the
duties will hereafter be performed by a respon-
sible officer, to be styled "Superintendent of
Army Clothing." The clothing will continue to
be made up under army clothing agents, the staff
pay of those who may hereafter be appointed being
fixed at 750 rupees per month. The most import-
ant piece of news from Madras is the formation of
the new Indian Reform Association. It was formed
at a public meeting of the inhabitants, convened
by the sheriff of Madras, and Mr. James Ouch-
terlony occupied the chair. The resolutions
moved and adopted were very moderate in tone,
and calculated to meet the views of many Indian
reformers. The immediate reason advanced
for its formation was grounded on the ignorance
of the condition of India which exists in Britain,
and on the refusal of her Majesty's Ministers to re-
assemble Parliamentary committees of inquiry into
the subject. Special resolutions were carried regard-
ing the absolutist character of the Indian system of
government and the system of land revenue. No
limits were placed to the number of members ; but
a committee of twenty-one was appointed, with
power to add to its number. No Government ser-
vants were present ; but it is understood that not
a few sympathised with the objects of the meet-
ing. Much is expected from Lord Harris, the new
Governor, because of his activity and the anxiety
he is displaying to make himself acquainted with
the working of all the departments of Government,
and with the institutions and requirements of
Madras. All hope of the completion of the first
instalment of the railway is postponed for a year
or two. Here in Bombay we have been suffering
very much from the great heat and from want of
water. Yesterday we had a smart shower, but
not sufficient to do more than check the dust-
storm which had been annoying
us all day. The
monsoon has not yet come • almost all the wells on
the island are dried up, and cholera is raging in the
native town, and even cutting off a larger number
of Europeans than usually fall victims to it. The
railway receipts for the last month were higher than
ever, but latterly the extension to Callian has done
little to increase the number of passengers. The
gross receipts from 18th April, 1853 (the day
of the opening of the line), to 16th April last,
amount to Rs. 1,25,571.4-• and those from the
first-mentioned date up to the day the statements
are made up (21st May), amount to Rs. 1,38,823
6-2. The railway is invaluable to us at present,
for more than 30,000 gallons of water are carried
into the town from Salsette, by a special train
employed for the purpose. A number of boats
also are employed in conveying the precious element
from the island of Elephanta. Nbt the less merrily
on this account, however, was the anniversary of
her Majesty's birthday Observed. Thousands of
natives and others went out by the rail way to
Callian, and in the evening the house and grounds
at Parell were brilliantly illuminated, to the delight
of innumerable spectators. Lord Elphinstone has
remained in Bombay during the whole of the hot
season, but intends to remove to the Deccan after
the first burst of the monsoon. The head-quarters
of the army will be removed to Poona on the 12th
of this month. The appointment of Colonel Out-
ram as political resident and commandant at Aden
has been officially announced, and he leaves for
that place by this mail. The money and general
markets are both very dull. Up to the hour of
post, the English mail of the Bth of May has not
been signalled.

William, did feloniously, wilfully, and of his malice
aforethought, kill and murder one Goolzar Ram, Choo-
mar."

We have received our usual despatches in anti-
cipation of the overland mail ' • and we have dates
from Bombay up to the 7th of June, from Calcutta
to the 30th, and also from Alexandria.
The following is the summary of the Bombay
Times of June 7 :
The news we have to give by this mail is not
of much importance, Everywhere over India, ex-
cept in the Nizam's. dominions, there is perfect
quiet, and the ordinary course of events goes On
undisturbed. From Rangoon our advices extend
to the 22d of last month, and contains no news of
special interest. For long it was supposed that the
boats lost in the late hurricane might have been
wrecked near Kyotyas, and that many of the miss-
ing soldiers may have reached Sitang and Shoay
Gyreen, but definite intelligence reached Ran-
goon that 80 men of all ranks, native and Euro-
pean, including Lieut. Stapleton, M.N.I, had
perished the gale. The convicts on board the
Clarissa had risen and killed the captain, the mate,
and a portion of the crew. Several of the sailors
escaped in a boat, and reached Rangoon on
the 16th ult. Two days afterwards the vessel ran
ashore, and was found and taken possession of by
the ship Elizabeth. A number of escaped convicts
had captured the village of Assam and had slain
20 of the inhabitants. Dacoity still continued, but
not to the same extent as formerly. A police force
is being organised for the protection of life and pro-
perty in Burmah. Part of it will consist of river
police for the Irrawaddy and for the creeks and
rivers of the Delta. A good deal of sickness pre-
vailed at Peshawur, and it had been visited by a
slight shock of an earthquake. There have
been some disturbances among the tribes in the
Kohat pass, from differences among themselves
about the money which we pay to them for keep-
ing that pass. The contemplated alliance with
Dost Mahomined has given rise to a good deal of
discussion, for the most part unfavourable to the
project. Officers find great difficulty in getting
leave of absence from Peshawur.—The Delhi
Gazette still continues to publish letters from
Cabul, notwithstanding the disclairners ofthe Gazette
of ,St. Petersburg and the doubts thrown on their
authQnticity by well informed Indian journals. Its
last letter is dated 10th May, and states that the
Ameer has warned the British Government of the
increasing influence of the Persians and Russians in
Herat and Candahar, and has asked English money
to aid him in resistance. He has sent a reinforce-
ment toward Dulkh, which country is threatened
by the King of Bukhara ; but he still maintains
communication with Russia and Persia. It is
rumoured that the Czar has informed the Shah of
Persia that two more European kings have joined
with him, and that the Shah would do well to
march upon Bagdad, and take the holy shrine of
the Najuh Ashruf from the Turks. The Candahar
chiefs are said to have informed the King of Persia
that for a stipulated sum, they will give up certain
parts under their administration. A rumour is
also current that the Russian force had attacked
and destroyed many places in the direction of
Hoorgung boundary, and have erected iron works
over desert wastes, in order to convey water for the
use of their soldiers. But even were we assured
that these reports came from Cabul, they are too
confused and uncertain to warrant us in any fur-
ther conclusion than that the Russo-Turkish war
has created considerable excitement there. Quar-
termaster Gillespie, who was accused of having
murdered his groom at Umballa, was tried by a
court-martial, found guilty of felonious homicide,
and condemned to four years' imprisonment.
The case having been returned for revision, the
court found him guilty of wilful murder, and con-
demned him to 14 years' transportation—a sen-
tence which was confirmed by the Commander-in-
Chief.
From the Nizam's dominions, we hear that, when
Arabs are dismissed, the Arab Jemadars systemati-
cally make room for them in their own bands by
dismissing the Mowullids and Deccanees serving iu
them. A number of Rohilla prisoners escaped from
the fort of Jactial, after massacring many of their
guards ; but some of them have been seized by
Brigadier Mayne. The country still remains rather
disturbed, and the Government is burdened by
having no less than 5,000 idle prisoners in charge.
The natives in Nagpore have unfavourable expec-
tations as to the result of their transfer to British
rule, especially as to its effects on their trade in
silks and mustins. The Brahmins who have been
turned adrift, and the idle employes, civil and
military, who fattened on sinecures, are exceedingly
discontented. A year, it is said is to be allowed to
elapse before the country is placed in the hands of
British officials ; and, in the meantime, Mr. Man-
sell is to do his best with the native agency. The
last steam-boat from the Persian Gulph left Bu-
shire on the Ist May, but brought almost no in-
telligence. The Persians still seem determined to
keep the Island of Karrack in a fcrtified state ; but
the greater part of the soldiers there escaped from
it and returned to Bushire, not having been sup-
plied with a sufficient quantity of food. The last
mail from China, which arrived here a few days ago,
brought intelligence of very serious riots at Singa-
pore. For eight or ten days it was in a very critical
state. The riots arose from the bad feeling between
the Hokien clan and the Chinchew, Macoa, and
other Chinese. On the sth May, a bloody fight
began in the bazaar, and the efforts of the police
to suppress it were quite insufficient. A number
of shops were plundered, and had not the Governor
and magistrates made their appearance in the
principal streets, attended by soldiers, the rioters
would doubtless have committed still worse
excesses. On the succeeding days the riotous Chinese

specials made their appearance, and hasten to as-
sault some other quarter. Soon the disturbances
spread to the interior, where revoltingly cruel
assassinations were committed, houses were burn-
ed, and plantations destroyed by a band of
about three hundred Chinese carrying a black
flag. Mr. Cluff, the deputy-superintendent of
police, who went to arrest some of the mur-
derers, was compelled to retreat to a police
station, and after being besieged for some time had
to release a portion of his prisoners. A party of
sepoys and of special constables had to be sent to
relieve him from his dangerous position. The
affair grew so serious that, on the 10th ult., a num-
ber of marines and of Malays had to be employed
in fighting, and the captain of an American man-
of-war offered to place 80 of his men at the disposal
of the authorities. There were no less than 400
assassinations, and 220 persons wounded. It is

when
our correspondent, in the concluding paragraphs
of his letter, writes thus severely on the conduct
of the authorities, and apprehensively of the
future :—" Humiliating as is the conclusion, it
is, nevertheless, obvious that the rulers of an im-
portant British settlement have been defied, baf-
fled, and derided by the leaders of a Chinese rabble.
The tumult, contemptiblein its origin, was fostered
instead of being suppressed by the strong arm of
the law. The rioters learning that the superin-
tendent of police had declared his inability to
maintain the peace, became instantly pugnacious,
under the conviction that the executive feared to
order the military to use their arms for the sup-
ps re-sion of the brawl ; and each progressive mea-
sure adopted for the suppression increased the
difficulty. The rash and ill-judged appeal to the
better feeling of a portion of the Chinese com-
munity, urging them to induce their clansmen to
forego the strife, was the very acme of maudlin
senescence—calculated strongly to impress on the
native mind the timidity and weakness of the exe-
cutive, and their distrust in the means at their c om-
mond for enforcing the re-establishment of order.

master John Gillespie, of her Majesty's 98th Regiment
of Foot, is guilty of having feloniously killed and slain
the deceased Goolzar Ram, but that he is not guilty of
having wilfully, and of his malice forethought, murdered
the said Goolzar Ram ; and of so much of the charge
the Court acquits the prisoner.
Sentence.—The court sentence the prisoner Quarter-
master John Gillespie, of her Majesty's 98th Regiment
of Foot, to imprisonment in the fortress of Agra for the
term of four years. J. H. GRANT, Lieut.-Colonel,

REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE COMMANDER IN-CHIEF

IN INDIA.
The Commander-in-Chief would willingly take advan-
tage ofany extenuating circumstances to save the prisoner
from the ignominious doom to which he has been consigned,
but in his Excellency's opinion the court have already
made full allowance in their merciful sentence for every-
thing that has appeared in evidence of a nature favour-
able to the prisoner, and it amounts to little more than
this, that it was not his intention to murder his unfortu-
nate victim. The man was sent for by the prisoner to
his house and there cruelly and deliberately beaten in
revenge for an assumed wrong—an unproved charge of
theft—and almost immediate death was the result. The
court have arrived at a jest verdict, and have passed
what may be considered far from a severe sentence upon
the prisoner.

Tile name of Quartermaster John Gillespie is to be
struck off from the rolls of her Majesty's 98th Regiment,
from the sth April, 1854, the date of the confirmation of
the sentence, from which date he ceased to belong to her
Majesty's service. Under instructions already given, the
removal of the prisoner to the Presidency is, being effected,
with the view to the sentence of transportation passed
upon him being carried into execution. The term of
transportation is to be reckoned from the Bth of March,
1852, the day on which the original sentence was assign-
ed by the president.

BOMBAY COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
REPORT O➢' THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS FROM

THE 23D MAY TO THE 6TH JUNE, 1854.
During the past fortnight our money market has been
dull, as usual at this season, and but little occurred
worthy of remark. Money is becoming more abundant
in the Bazaar, now that the demand has nearly ceased,
and a reduction of one per cent, in the rate of discount
has been made by the Bank of Bombay. Government
securities and all descriptions of joint-stock shares are
almost unsaleable, and the quotations in our price cur-
rent must be considered quite nominal.
Few or no transactions of any kind in the general
market have taken place during the past fortnight. The
season may now be considered as closed, and the sales
that have taken place have been by dealers on specula-
tion ; and under these circumstances it is impossible to
give any quotations with correctness, as the rates on
almost all descriptions of manufacture must be regarded
as nominal. The stocks in hand of all goods are heavy,
and more than sufficient to meet all probable demands,
which for the next three months must be local.

Yarns of all descriptions are extremely dull.
Metals—The only transaction we have to report is in
braziers' copper, at a somewhat reduced rate.

Cotton—There is little or nothing doing, and prices
are firm, notwithstanding unfavourable accounts from
England and China, and this deters shipments to either
market. The stock is large, and is being stored up in
view of the approaching rains. A few sales have taken
place, the price for Surat and Broach being rupees 91,
for Oomrawutty 89/, and Dhollera 80/ per candy. In
other descriptions, no transactions have occurred.
Freights—These have been maintained. Vessels
have been taken to supply tonnage for goods received
from the Malabar coast, the rates to London fur general
cargo being 4/. 155., and for oil 51. 15s. to 61. per ton ; to
Liverpool, 41. 55., with 51. for oil, but these rates must
soon give way. To China, rupees 18 to 19 per candy.
Exchange—Very few transactions on England have
occurred, i❑ consequence of the limited sales of goods ;
still, however, rates have further declined, and may now
be quoted at 2s. O'd. to 2s. ld. for first-class credits,
and 2s. lid. for local drafts, at six months' sight.

THE LATE BABOO RUSSOMOY DUTT.
(Prom the Calcutta Englishman.)
We regret to announce the death of Baboo Russomoy
Dutt, which took place on Sunday evening. His illness
was of a nature which at his age left but little hope
from the first. Baboo Russomoy Dutt was the first
native of Bengal who was ever appointed to the bench
of the Petty Court, where be has sat about 16 years,
having retained his post when the jurisdiction of the
court was enlarged, and its title altered to that of Small
Clause Court.
The experiment of employing a native has completely
answered, for it may be safely said that no judge who
ever presided in that court has given more general satis-
faction. The Baboo had not the advantage of a legal
education, but his habits of business, and knowledge of
the people, particularly qualified him for disentangling
the conflicting statements of the• great majority of
suitors who appear in that tribunal.
It is reported that he will be succeeded by the present
junior magistrate, Baboo Hurroochunder Ghose, who is
perhaps better qualified for the Small Clause Court than
for the police, though it must be allowed that he has
latterly got through his arduous duties very creditably.
It is also stated that it is intended to appoint a native
as his successor at the police, and that Baboo Loke-
nauth Bose is the person likely to be selected, he hav-
ing filled the post of Suddur Ameen for some years.

ENTHRONENIENT OF THE BISHOP OF BATH AND
WELLS.— On Friday morning the Right Rev. Robert
Lord Auckland, who has recently been translated to the
Bishopric of Bath and Wells, was enthroned in Walls
Cathedral. His lordship, attended by his chaplains,
was met by the receiver of the see, and put in possession
of the temporalities of the bishopric. A chapter was
held, when the bishop delivered the mandate of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, and assumed the episcopal
robes. The oaths were administered to his lordship by
the Very Rev. G. H. Sacheverell Johnson, M.A. Dean
of Wells, and he was then formally inducted into his
stall: In virtue of his bishopric Lord Auckland has
ecclesiastical patronage at his disposal worth 15,0001.
THE GROUSE.—The favourable reports which I sent
you some time ago from the northern moors are not sup-
ported by those from Ayrshira, where it is said that
many grouse have been found dead, and the birds seem
far from numerous: Black game, however, is reported
to be very plentiful—more so than for many years.—
