OVERLAND MAIL

We have received, by Extraordinary Express, in anticipa_
tin of the Overland Mail, advices from Bombay to January
3,•and Calcutta, December 23.

The London Mail of the 7th of November, by express from
Bombay, reached Meerut, Agra, and Madras on the 14th,
Delhi on the 15th, Calcutta on the 16th, and Colombo (by
the P. and 0. Co.'s steamer Lady Mary Wood, on the 18th
Dec.)—The London Mail of the 24th November reached
Bombay, by the steamer Sesostris, at noon on the 28th De-
cember.

Summanst.—We gave in the last issue intelligence from
Moultan to the 3d, and from the army of the Chenaub
to the 6th of December. The only movements which
have occurred since then at the former of these places
are two reconnoitres by the Engineers, one on the
6th and another on the 13th, when no serious
molestation was offered. On the 11th the detach-
ment of Bombay troops under Major Hallett.
consisting of the 3d Native Infantry, Turnbull's
Battery, and 50(4 of the Sinde Horse, arrived in camp. On
the 15th the Ist Lancers joined. On the 16th the party just
named, with the exception of the Sinde Horse, were sent
out to Shere Shah.ke-puttun, to escort in the Bombay bat-
tering train. The main column had not commenced cross-
ing the river on the 18th, but were all expected in camp be-
fore Christmas, when operations would immediately be re-
commenced. Narrain Singh, who had marched out in the
direction of Jhung—a large trading town, about ninety miles
up the river—on the let of December, had been compelled to
return by Sheikh Emaum-ood-deen, who had been sent out
to watch him. On the morning of the 18th the Sinde
horse with two ether corps were sent out from the camp
with a view of attacking him. He was then at Sirdarpore,
a few miles from Mooltan, collecting grain, and trying to
raise reinforcements, with a force of about 2,000
the suburbs ; or, including
in
9,000 in all. General Whish

had 8,000 Bengal troops, and the Bombay column, 8,030
strong, was expected before Christmas. His artillery
amounted to nearly 100 guns, of which seventy are of the
largest calibre. The allies, under Major Edwardes, and
Colonel Cortlandt, amount to about 12,000, so that the be-
sieging army is about 28,000 strong, or more than three
times as numerous as the besieged. Front the Commander.
in-Chief's camp, we have news up to the 21st ultimo.
So soon as it was discovered that the Seikhs, after their re-
tirement on the night of the 3d, had taken up a strong
position on the Jhelum, two marches a-head of us, it was
resolved to leave them alone till after the fall of Moul-
tan. For the last fortnight, accordingly, the troops
had rested on their arms; nor are they likely to
have taken the field till New Year's-day at all events.
This is said to be in consequence of orders from the Gover-
nor-General. Jubbar Khan, of Cabool, familiarly known as
" the good Nawaub," is said to have arrived at Peshawur
with an army of Affghans, and to be in communication
with Chuttur Singh. His purposes are not known.
He is thought more likely to act a friendly part
towards us than a hostile one. Chuttur Singh
had not yet joined the main force. Major Law-
rence was in the camp of Shere Singh. His interpreter had
been made use of for the purpose of negotiating for an
amnesty, to which Major Mackeson, now in political charge
with the Commander-in-Chief, had replied that he
could enter on no terms with rebels in arms.
Attock, under Lieutenant Herbert, still held out
and Captain Abbott continued to maintain him-
self in the Hazareh country. Lieutenant Robin-
son, the assistant of the latter, had made his way to General
Thackwell's camp. There had been no military movement
of any note during the fortnight. The p resent procrastina-
tion and delay was and is the subject of u niversal complaint.
It is said that the Governor-General waits for instruc-
tions from home. Si,- Henry Lawrence reached Kotree
on the Indus on the 15th, since which time he has
not been heard from, further than that the steamer he was
in had been aground for a couple of days after leaving that
station. He expected to be with the Commander-in-Chief
by the 10th January at latest.—lt has been intimated that

three regiments will immediately he sent out from England,

is was omits last peace establishment ten years since, when
the Pnnjaub, Sinde, and Gwalior, were all unsubdued, and
the Affghan war was in prospect. For two years we have
had 52,000 men with 100 guns on the frontier beyond
Meerut, where 24,000 men with 60 guns were all that Lord
Ellenborough considered necessary; leaving the garrison
for the rest of India still 28,000 stronger than it was
in 1837, when it was considered quite adequate for
the duties assigned to it. Out of a free inc,me of sixteen
millions, our army costs ten millions annually. The Cian-
missioner in Sinde was still absent from Kurrachee, from
which place two native regiments were to proceed upward
as soon as conveyance could be procured—the 24th for
Hydrabad, and the 27th for Shikarpore. Major-General
Auchmuty was on a visit to the Ameer of Khyrpore,
his head-quarters being at Sukkur.—The substance of a
letter from the Governor- General to the Nizam of Hyder-
abad has been published, in which his Lordship plainly in-
timates his disapproval of the manner in which matters
have been conducted by that Prince for a long time past,
and suggests the expediency of a speedy reform. The
Governor-General was at Loodianah on the 19th ult. It
was reported that his Lordship intended proceeding to La-
here.—•A corps of Irregular Horse has been ordered to be
raised in Rajpootana.—Every thing continues tranquil
throughout the Company's dominions; not so in Ceylon,
where by last accounts (13th December) the re-appearance
of rebellion was momentarily expected.
