The following summary of Indian. affairs is ex-
tracted from the Bombay Times of-Jury 1 :
The line of policy pursued by Lord Dalhousie in
regard to Pegu seems, so far. as we can judge as
yet, to hove been eminently successful, for the
Court of Ava no longer seems disposed to engage
in new conflicts; and dacoity, to judge from the
silence of correspondents in regard to it, is almost
entirely put down. In fact, the news from Bur-
mah has ceased to excite much interest, and from
Rangoon we receive nothing of greater importance
than ordinary out-stations usually afford. Corre-
spondents do little more than tell us of the way in
which the anniversary of her Majesty's birthday
was observed, and of the toasts which were drunk
to Sir Charles Napier and the Baltic-fleet.
- Prom Cabool alone intelligence of interest con-
tinues to arrive, but of such an uncertain kind as
to whet rather than satisfy the appetite. The
quarrel which we noticed in our last summary be-
tween Dost Mahomed and the Candahar chiefs had
turned out to be 'one of little importance, for the
claim to the possession of Khelat-i-G-hilzie had only
been made at the instigation of -the Persians, and
was not likely to be insisted ou by the chiefs. It
.s remarkable, however, as the Delhi Gazette ob-
serves, that the paramount authority of the Dost
:las remained undisputed until the present time,
when the symptoms of resistance to it may be na-
turally attributed to the intrigues of Russia and
Persia. A letter from Cabool of the 19th of May
states that the son of Mebrab Khan Belooch had
visited Shikarpoor, and had arranged with the
English authorities to be permitted to build
stations in the Bolan pass. There had been
reports that an English officer was engaged at
:Candahar in drilling the infantry; which
possibly may have had some foundation
-in fact, for a few months ago the Candahar chiefs
had agents in Bombay trying to secure the services
of some European capable of conducting military
'operations. News had arrived from Balkh to the
effect that the Persians have stationed themselves
in Merw with a powerful force, and that the Rus-
sian army had possessed itself of Ak Miszid, a de-
pendency of Hoorgunj. The Czar was reported to
have given back to Persia territories taken in former
years, and the Shah was supposed to be about to
-move on Bagdad on the one side, and on Heerat on
the other. In a Cabool letter of the 24th of IVlay
it is stated that the Russian forces had arrived at
Kokan, and had taken possession of that fortress,
much to- the alarm of the King of Bokbara. It
was believed at Cabool that a British officer, ac-
companied by 100 horsemen, was about to visit
that place,' in order to conclude a treaty with Dost
Mahomed, but the news was not at all •acceptable
to the people, who feared that an English alliance
would only serve to increase the Dost's tyranny.
The people .are stated to be ill-disposed towards
Dost Mahomed, . and would gladly hail Russians,
Persians, or English, if by doing so they could rid
themselves of his tyrannical Government. A long
document is given by the Delhi Gazette, professing
to be a copy ofa letter received by the Dost on the
Bth of May, from his confidential agent at Heerat,
which gives a lively picture of the intrigues now
going on in Central Asia. The most remarkable
fact to be gathered from it is the small repute in
which British diplomacy stands at present in
Central Asia.

Major Jacob had returned to Jacobabad from
his visit to the camp of Khelat. He met his High-
ness at Mustoong, about seventy miles north of
Khelat. The Major was much pleased with his
visit and its results. He reports the country
about Mustoong to be one of the finest parts about
Beloochistan, and he met with no obstacles from
'marauders in the Bolan pass.
The commissioner at Nangpore had informed the
supreme Government that the regiments composing
the subsiaiary force at that place might be dispensed
with, if he be permitted to officer the late Rajah's
troops after the model of the Nizam's contingent.
fie had paid high compliments to the soldiers in
'the Rajah's regiments, and had strongly stated his
opinion that, if properly officered, they would prove
highly serviceable.

The electric telegraph, though liable to interrup-
tions during the monsoon, has been conveying
Government messages between Bombay and Cal-
cutta ; but owing, we suppose, to the dearth of
general news of importance at the former of these
places, it has brought no intelligente for the use of
the Bombay press. The Governor-General had
shown no disposition of being about to make a
move. Ho had appointed a day for humiliation
and prayer, in connection with the Russian war.
It i 4 confidently stated in Calcutta that Lord Dal-
liousio intends returning home in January next.
The Calcutta papers had been rash iu informing the
public that Mr. Wylie had been chosen to be secre-
tary to the Legislative Council of India. Mr.
Morgan, of the Calcutta bar, has been appointed
to the office, at a salary of 2,500 rupees per month.
Experimental trains are to commence running upon
the Bengal Railway about the middle of July, and
it is to be overfed in the beginning of August by
Lord Dalhousie.

Letters from Poorie of the sth instant announce
that the concourse of pilgrims this year at the
shrine of Juggernath had been unusually great, and
that the consequent scarcity and high price of food
had produced much suffering. Hundreds of p ilgrims
had been weakened from want of food, and were
lying in the streets awaiting certain death.
From Moorshedabad we learn that Amanally
Khan had been expelled from the palace, agreeably
to the expressed wish of the Governor-General, and
the other eunuchs implicated in a case of murder
had shared the same fate.

From Madras the only items of interesting news
we can gather are, that the railroad is to be laid
down on the cheap system advocated by Colonel
Cotton, and is not expected to cost more than
25,000 rupees per mile, and that the works on the
Godavery were being vigorously carried on. It is
expected that the railway will be finished by great
exertions in the beginning of 1850. Among the
obituaries is the death, at Kamptee, of Lieutenant-
Colonel William Bremmer, of the 41st Regiment
Native Infantry. The death of Mr. Liddell, for
many years coroner of Madras, has been an-
nounced.

secret societies especially have been pointed out as
interfering with the legitimate influence which our
authorities ought to have.
In Bombay nothing has been stirring. The go-
vernor has taken up his monsoon residence near
Poonah. The preliminary investigation before the
senior magistrate of police in reference to the large
deficiency —nearly three lacs of rupees—in the
Aden treasury has been closed, and the papers are
under consideration preparatory to the committal
of the case for trial at the ensuing criminal sessions.
The libel for divorce instituted by Mr. Hadow
against his wife has resulted in judgment having
been pronounced against the impugnant. The
Commercial Bank of India has declared a dividend
for the half-year ending the 30th of July, at the
rate of 6 per cent. per annum. Very little rain has fallen as yet, but in the last few days showers
have been more frequent. The markets are dull.

REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS, FROM

JUNE 20 TO JUNE 30, 1854.

. _
We have little change to note in the money market
for the ten days that have elapsed since the date of our
last report. Money is getting easier, but is not yet
abundant in the Bazaar. Government securities have
continued to droop, and are now scarcely saleable at 97
for Four per Cent. Company's paper and 103 for Sicca
notes. Some surprise has been excited by the Commer-
cial Bank declaring a dividend for the half-year just
ended at the rate of only 6 per cent, per annum, and
shares have in consequence declined to 18 per cent. pre-
mium ex div., with few buyers at that rate. In shares
of the other joint stock concerns we note no change, ex-
cept in those of the Oriental Bank Corporation, which
have advanced as high as 87 to 90 per cent. premium.
Cotton Piece Goods,—The interval since our last over_
land summary extends over, so brief a space of time that
there ie little to be said in the Nay of business—indeed,
