OVER LAND MAIL

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH.
(From the Times of Saturday.)
We have received the following important intelli-
gence by telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles :
" The Bombay papers of the 29th of July state
that a new reduction has been effected in the army.
" The Goomsor was on fire froth one extremity to

the other.
" The affairs of the NIZAM continued to he in the

greatest confusion.
" The Governor-General and the Commander-in-
Chief were at Simla. The former was to return to
C dcutta in October.
" All was tranquil in the Punjaub. There was an
ap7earance of tranquillity in Affgbanistan.
"Dost Mahomed was desirous of contracting
an alliance with the Government of India.
"There was nothing raw from Sinde."

I N lA.

We have received by our orfinary semi-month

courier from Marseilles our dispatches in anticipa-
don of the Overland Mail from Bombay, of the 20th
of June.

The intelligence thus received is of considerable
interest. It is the more so, as two attempts to
send letters from Bombay to Europe ria M tdras had
failed. The express from B nnbay was robbed on the
Bhore Ghaut on the 3d of June; and a second ex
press, of the sth of June, arrived too late in Madras
for the Bentinck steamer on her voyage from Calcutta
to Suez.

From the Punjaub we learn that an exchange of
territory had been effected between Ghoolab Singh
and the Lahore Government. The territory given
op by Ghoolab consists of certain mountain (tlazareh)
districts, the chiefs of which were by no means in-
clined to submit to his rule. lie had obtained a
slice of territory called the Kurree Kurreealee. Ghoo-
lab had taken up his residence at Cashmere, and
appeared to wish to be called the Maharaja of
Cashmere rather than of Jamoo. He had received
Colonel Steinbach into his service. His system of
taxation was not calculated to render his government

popular.
In Lahore there had been talk of a conspiracy, the
details.of which were not exactly known. Its object
was said to be to avenge the insults received by the
Ranee (Queen• Mother) on Tej Singh. Runjoor
Singh (the Chief Justice of Lahore), having been
dismissed, had threatened to excite a fanatical war;
but the British officers were on the alert. A rumour
was in circulation that some serious disturbances
might be expected in Lahore after the next Dussera.
At Peshawur, the return of Sultan Mahommed Khan
which was effected by the influence of the English,
had produced the best impression on the inhabitants,
and even on the neighbouring Affghan tribes, the
chiefs of which had proposed terms of friendship and
alliance. Major Lawrence, who acts for the Guyer-
nor-General at Peshawur, bad ordered Asper Singh,
the late Governor, to return to Lahore.

From Affehenistan there is no news of import-
ance. Dint Ai_slimmed, having settled the disputes
in the neighbourhood of Jellalabad, had returned to
Caubul. His son Hyder Khan had been appointed
Governor on the frontier near the Khyber pass. The
death of the late Wuzeer, Akbar Khan, had brought
about a cessation of ho,tilities in that part of Aff
ghanistan, and there was a chance of peace during
the lifetime of the old Dhost. He had allowed agents
ikom the Governor-General to tiOtp their stations,
under the name of news-writers, at various places in
his dominions.
In Sinde the utmost tranquillity prevailed. The

,rade by the Indus was likely to obtain soon a re

markable increase, for the Bombay authorities bad,
by orders of the Supreme Government, issued a noti-
fication declaring that goods coming by way of Sinde
shall be admitted free into Bombay. This is a
great advantage to the trade of the Indus. Sir C.
Napier was at Kurrachee.
The Governor-General was at Simla, where he in.
tended to remain during th.l rainy season. Lord and
Lady Gough were also there.
The robber Dhongur had recommenced his depre-
dations; he had plundered some caravans.

The disturbances which were lately apprehended
in the Deccan hdd passed over. In consequence of
the Nizam's having given up for the time his in-
trigues, arrangements had been male, by establish •
ing a bank at Hyderabad, and by opening a loan, to
make provisions for the wants of the Treasury. In
the 'Goomsoor country fresh disturbances had broken
out; the infuriated fanatics were again in arms, and
had offered up more human sacrifices. Mr. Grant,
of the Bengal Civil Service, had been ordered to ex-
amine into the grounds of the disputes between Bri-
qadier Dyce and the other officers employed in paci-
fying those districts.

The efforts made by Akbar Khan to induce the
Schah of Persia to enter into a Moslem war against
the British in the East had failed. The Cajar Sove-
reign of Persia told Akbar's emissaries, on hearing
them state the object of their mission, that he placed
no confidence either in the Affghans or in their pro-
mises. Some fanciful rumours had been current re-
lative to the interference of Russia, but nothing cer-
tain was known on the subject.
The Governor-General was about to send a political
mission to the capital of Thibet, in order to open
peaceful relations with the Government of the Grand
Lama•at Lassa.

The reduction of the British troops in India is
spoken of. Six regiments of her Majesty's array
were, as it was reported, to be sent to Europe at the
zlose of this year. Forty thousand sepoys had been
removed from the army within the last six months,
which diminution, together with that of the R
regiments, will lighten the burdens on the Indian
finances. The Five per Cent. Loan still continued
open, but as it was already at a discount, very little
was then being subscribed to it.

No later intelligence from China was known in
Bombay than that whickcame by the last mail.
The death of Sir David Pollock, the Chief Justice
of Bombay, is quoted as an example which ought
to deter elderly gentlemen from trying a tropical
climate. Sir E. Perry has since discharged the
luties of the Supreme Court to the satisfaction of all
parties ; he is expected to succeed as Chief Justice,
to which his legal kno.w•ledge and his experience of
India fully entitle him.

The Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Bombay
were at Poona, where they intended to remain dur-
ing the rains.

The monsoon had set in at Bombay with an un-
usual fall of rain, of which about twenty-five inches
had fallen before the 19th of June.
In a postscript, dated the 20th of June, our cor-
respondent states that the steamer was delayed for
nearly twenty-four hours in consequence of the non-

arrival of the Governor's dispatch from Poona.
The only point of political importance to which
our correspondent alludes is the state of Hyderabad,
in the Deccan. Violence and bloodshed were the
order of the day there. The troops called the Ro-
hullo, whom General Frazer had endeavoured to
induce to leave the Nizam's country, were returning
by degrees to it. They were implicated in several
gang robberies, and ordered to be deported. They
came near the cantonment, quarrelled amongst them-
selves, when Hassein-ood-Deep Khan was killed;

his assassin was cut to pieces.
Letters from Dinapore mention that the cholera
was ravaging her Majesty's 98th Regiment; 64 per-
sons died in the month of May ; there were 170 in

the hospital daily.
A fire broke out in the fort at Bombay in the
,evening of the 19th of June, which consumed the
British Hotel, a building well known, in one of the
principal thoroughfares.

COMMERCIAL INTE...LIGENCE.
THE BO tiBAY MAIiKE r. JUNE 19.
Since we issued our last summary, on tha 29th of
Msy, the customary dul aess at this season of the year
has reigne-d in our imi o t. market, and transactions hase
been extremely limited, particularly since the burst 0.
the monsoon on the 2,1 instant. We have come gaiently
sery little to rap rt. Upon the supply of rain through-
;.ut moiasoon will mainly depeA the demand for
British manufaatires on the return of the active season.
('he fall in Bombay anti the vicinity, to the present
time, hat been very satisfactory, but we have no certain
report.; from the agricultu; al districts.
Cot' on Piet.. Goods—We append the sales as reported
to us under this head, the greater part of which were
effected before the close of la 4 month; since when the
local dealers have continued to move about in the inter

vale of sunshine, but their offers have beFn in wort in
stances too low to lead to operations. The sales cow
municated to us are the following: _

In other counts nothing has been done, uor are we in-
formed of any trarteletions in dyed yarn. •
WooII-ns continue quite neglected.
Metals.—lron—Four British bar there tt•slightspecu-
leave inquiry on the part of ceadt rs, who; in .the early
part of this month, took 1.50 candies.at 33truppes per
candy, and subsequently purchased 1,194 candies of Hat,
square, and round, usual assortment, at 34'rupee's per
candy of 746ilbs, which is the highest price that has
been obtained since the last season opened. The stuck
of this article is mm very low. •
Swedish Bar—Very duil of sale, aid -the price purely
nominal.
Sheet Iron—There has been a sale of 400 bund:es,
lave sizes. at ci rupees per cwt.
Hoop—We notice a sale of 1,400 bundles, at 54 rig ees
per cwt.
Nail Rod—No sales have transpired, and the price is
as before quoted.

Nails—An a.s 'rtment of 40 cwt., rose, has been sold
at 18 rup• es per cwt.
Copper—The sale consists of 200 cwt. of hrseer's, at
59r. per cwt., and of 150 cat. of tile, at 51Z-r. per cwi..
showing in the former a decline, and in the latter an ud
voice, upon our quotations last mail; and 60 cwt. of bat,
at 60r. per cwt.
In lead, steel, and spelter, nothing has been done, and
in the absence of inquiry quotations are nominal.
Tin Plates—We have heard of a sale of 200 boxes, at
15 :3 16ths rupees per box.
No other transactions that we are aware cf have
taken place, with the exception of a sale of 40 cwt 01
small brass nails, at 55r. per cwt.
Cochineal—There have been several arrivals of this
article, and the price has declined to 34r. and 3j-r. per
lb., at which, however, hold,rs refuse to sell.

Saffron—There has not been any inquiry for this
article, and the present quotation of 12r. to 16r. per lb.
is quite nominal.
Beer—The market has been well supplied, and the
price for " Bass" and " Allsopp" has been reduced to
65r. per hhd,, at which about 1,000 hilt's. have been sold
say 600 bhds. of Allsopp and 400 hhds. of Bass. Ten-
nant's is quoted at 45r. per hhd., and of other brands
there is none in the market.

Spirits—Without any change in prices, which must be
considered nominal, as there have been no sales, nor is
there, we believe, any inquiry.
Marine Stores—The only alteration that we have to
notice under this head is an advance in the price of coal
tar, 80 barrels of which have been lately disposed of at
Sr. per barrel; there has been a good demand for it, and
very little remains in first hand.
Sundries—Red lead has experienced a decline in value,
200 cwt. having been sold at 12/tr. per cwt., being a fall
of Ir. per cwt.
White lead is without change.
Orsidue—A parcel of 4,0001b5. has been sold at 2ir.

Very few and triling transactions have, however, had
effect at these rates, and. :Pt the stocks on the spot art
little if at all short of 100,000 bales, we look for prices
receding.
Opium—Very little has been done in this drug, and
the price is similar to our last quotation, say from
1,075 r. to I,loor. per cheat, according to quality; Trans
actions are restricted by the difficulty with
