OVER LA ND MAIL

(From the Times.)

By our ordinary semi-monthly dispatch from Mar-
seilles, in anticipation of the overland mail, we have
received intelligence from Calcutta to the 2d, and from
Bombay to the Bth ult.

The intelligence is not important. •
Disturbances still continued to prevail in the pro-
vince of Goomsoor, and human sacrifices were about
to be renewed there.

Tranquillity had not been restored in the States of
the Nizam. The plan to establish a hank there had
not succeeded.

At Bombay the rains had been remarkable, 42
inches had already fallen on the 3d ult.; that is more
than half the ordinary average, and there were two
months of the monsoon yet remaining. The fall in
different parts of the Deccan had not been so great.
Great apprehension was felt respecting the fate of
the Cleopatra steamer, which left Bombay on the 14th
of April, bound for Singapore. She encountered the
frightful hurricane of the 17th, 18th, and 19th of
April, and had not since been heard of.

The [nails from London to the 7th of June ar-
rived at Bombay on the 6th ult.
The new Governor of Ceylon had reduced the
export duty. on cinnamon to 2i per cent. A general
revision of the tariff was likewise reported.
They still speak of reducing the Indian army.
There are to be altogether 24 regiments of Euro-
pean infantry in the service of the Company.

From New South Wales we have advices to the
10th of April. The military force in that colony
was to be reduced to a singlet,regiment, while two
were to be stationed in Nevo—Zealand, and two in
Van Diemen's Land. Orders had been received
to abandon the colony of North Australia, on which
it is said that 20,0001. had been already expended.

From South Australia we receive favourable re•
ports of progress bJth in mining and agricultural
operations. The great complaint is, want of hands,
and a petition was about to be forwarded to the
Colonial-effice to assist in inducing emig ration.
An association has been formed in the colony to
oppose grants of land for ecclesiastical purposes, the
coloni)ts being decidedly averse to what they term
the fatal principle of an alliance between Church and
State.

We have received no intelligence from China of a
latter pate than by the previous mail, although the
Haddington waited at Point de Galle five days for
the steamer of that line, which did not make her
appearance.

We take the following summary of news from the
Bengal Hurkaru of July 2 :
" The time which has passed since the date of our
last dispatch, though it has produced the usual num-
ber of small topics for the discussion of the Indian
press, has given birth to no political event of suffi
cient importance to cause an excitement when its
history is told in England.
" There has indeed been a revolution in Nepaul ;
but such things have been too common in that coun-
try of late to admit of a more quiet and bloodless
change of rulers being looked on even as a nine
days' wonder. The history of this event is briefly as
follows :—The Maharaja, as our readers may re-
mem her, came some time ago to Benares, as much
perhaps, because it was inconvenient for him to stay at
Katmandoo, where his wife was supreme, as for the
purpose of performing bis devotions in the sacred
river. After staying at Benares some time he left that
city, ostensibly for the purpose of returning to his
capital. But it appears he never got further than to a
place called Segowlee, in the British territories, but
near the frontiers of Nepaul. Thence it seems he sent
messengers to Katmandoo, calling on the army and
the principal men of the country to imprison or kill
the Minister Jung Bahadoor, and all his family. On
this the "chiefs assembled, and after consultation came
to the conclusion that his Majesty was not of right
mind. They accordingly determined to depose him
and to place the heir apparent on the throne. This
resolution was immediately carried into effect, and a
letter was sent to the old King signed by all the prin-
cipal men, informing him of what had been done, re-
counting his misdeeds, censuring him for his with-
drawal from his people arid country, and reprobating
his order for the destruction of a worthy man and his
ancient family. This substitution of one King fur
another, thus quietly effected, will in no way affect
the relations between the British Indian Government
and that of Nepaul.
" From the Punjaub we hear that the Governor-
General, seeing that the people of Hazareh are not
likely ever to submit quietly to the rule of Ghoolab
has permitted the restoration of that district to
the Lahore state, in exchange for another tract of
country. The Sovereign of Cashmere is said to be
well pleased with his bargain, being glad to be rid of
subjects so troublesome as the Hazareh people had
been and were likely to continue.
" The accounts from Peshawur continue to tell of
reform and retrenchment steadily and quietly carried
on under the auspices of Major George Lawrence.
General Ghoolab Singh, Povindeea, has been installed
beikh Governor of the province.
" From Caubul the latest news received is to about
the middle of May. Dost Mahomed had returnee'
from his campaign among the insurgent Ghilzies, and
had boasted so vain-gloriously in open durhar of his
achievements in the field, that the sons of Mahomed
Zeman Khan lied abruptly quitted the presence in
disgust. His Highness seems to have incurred the
displeasure of mat y of his chiefs, including his son
Wuzeer Ukbar Khan, by his supposed leaning to-
wards an alliance with the British. There are reports
of correspondence carried on betwixt the Ameer and
our authorities through the intervention of his brother
Sultan Mahomed Khan, at Peshawur, but of the
nature and objects of the various communications
little is yet known.
" The most important item of news from Aff-
ghanistan is of a quarrel betwixt the Ameer and the
Kuzzilbash tribe, ending, as it seems, in a fight.
The origin of this misunderstanding remains a
mystery, which the next accounts will probably clear
up. The Ameer entertained a vague suspicion and
mistrust of the tribe, but could not, or would not,
when challenged, put his fears into the shape of a
specific charge against any of them. He declared,
however, that if his suspicions were verified, he would
expel the whole tribe from Caubul. Subsequently,
the anger or distrust of the Ameer induced him to
order that certain deductions should be made from
the pay of the Kuzzilbash troops ; and it was
rumoured that he meditated an attack upon the
quarter of the town inhabited by the tribe, for the
purpose of destroying their forts. Finally, a note of
late date mentions that an affray had actually oc-
curred betwixt the Kuzzilbashes and the Caubulees,
two of the Ameer's sons taking part with the latter.
We shall probably learn more of this affair very
shortly. One Jan Fishan Khan, well known during
our Affghan campaigns, and now living in our terri-
tories, has been writing to his countrymen, calling
on them to prepare to repel an invasion of the British,
who, he said, would be among them in six months.
The Ameer had sent the intercepted letters to the
Resident at . Peshawur, and declared his conviction
that they were false.
" The robber chief, Doonghur Singh, whose rescue
and escape from the gaol at Agra created such a sen-
sation some time ago, and whd has since been exer-
cising his vocation in Shekawattee and the neigh-
bouring territories, has lately performed an exploit
which throws jet() the shade all his former achieve-
ments. At midnight on the 18th ult. a band of
armed men, many of them mounted on horses and
camels, surrounded and suddenly attacked the Mili-
tary Pay-office at Nusseerabad, killing six of the
guard, and desperately wounding as many more
hey then forced open the treasure-chest and carried
off its contents—some 27,000 rupees. This took
place on the skirts of a cantonment where a regiment

" The Goomsoor country continues unsettled, not-
withstanding all that has been done to restore quiet.
At Hyderabad affairs remain in disorder, and it is
not easy to foresee how they are to be disentangled
without the active interference of the Supreme Go-
vernment.
" The affairs of the India General Steam Naviga-
tion Company.have lately been the theme of much
discussion; originating in an informal meeting of
shareholders held on the 19th ult. The regular half-
yearly meeting is fixed for the 19th instant, and will,
it is to be hoped, place.goatters.,on a more satisfactory
footing.
" A draught Act has been promulgated, designed
tb regulate coroners juries in Calcutta. Hitherto it

has been found almost impracticable to assemble a
jury of twelve, and it is now proposed to legalise a
iury of three. This measure, if carried out, will be
a bold but justifiable innovation on time-honoured
prejudices.

notification has appeared in the Gazette an-
ouncing that henceforth imported salt may be bonded
in private warehouses licensed by the controlling
Board.

" The state of commercial matters is anything but
cheering. With the exception of rice, which is in
great demand, all heavy articles of export are entirely
out of demand, partly
in consequence of the unfavour-
able news brought by the mail of the 7th of May,
and partly from the exorbitant rate of freights which
are quoted at 10/. per ton. The money market is Still
excessively tight. Exchange is quoted at 2s. Old. to
2s. Oid. for ten months' bills.
" The abundance of rain during the past month
has not been favourable to the Indigo crop, which
cannot now be expected to rise above the average,
unless, indeed, fine weather in this month should im-
prove its chances.

" The weather in Calcutta has been seasonable and
pleasant, frequent and sometimes very heavy showers,
with a moderate temperature. The fall of rain regis-
tered during the past month was 12.01 inches. At
Bombay there fell in one day, the 12th ult., not less
than 13i inches !

The English mail of the 7th of May came in on
the 15th inst. ; that of the 24th may be looked for
,rnmediately."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Calcutta Overland Price Current, July 2.)
In our last report we could not refrain from gloomy •
torebodings as to tie effect likely to beproduced here by
the very unsatisfactory
intelligence conveyed by the
London mail of April 24, and we now regret to say that
.ur anticipations have been realised, for since the ar
ival of the Haddington on the sth 'of June to the 15th
.11. t., on which date the Government ex*Pressts via Bom-
nay, put us in possession oft, latir4 news, there was a
stagnation in business generally: Our- London advices
to the 7th of May were not calculated to mend matters,
for whilst commercial affairs at home rernaintd in such
an unsettled state, any improvement could hardly be ex-
pected in our market. The unsatisfactory report, there-
fore, wi.ich we must now proceed to give, will be a mat-
ter of but little surprise to our friends at home, though
is regards our import trade, some improvement might
have been looked tor, considering the low prices current
oere for most stap:es compared with their actual cost, as
ilso in consequence of the advance d period of the season.
which, owing to the opening of the river 'navigation, has
for past years always been characterised by considerable
animation in the-exchange of European and Indian con -
.podities. This circumstance can only be accounted for
the great pressure in the money market, and the high
rates of freights current, which render most of our
staples almost un'.aleat,le, whilst the native dealers, de-
pending for funds upon the sale of their produce, are
bus prevented from making their annual purchases of
European manufactures.
Our money market continues still very tight, and the
bank maintain their highest rates of interest. and dis-
count; we are, however, happy to say that the home
accounts have not had the effect upon our monetary
matters which might have been anticipated, and, though
accommodation continues in much r& quest, a better feel-
ing seems to exist, which has given to Government secu-
rities a tendency to a slight advance.
Exchange on England has somewhat fluctuated. On
the Bth ult. our quotations were 2s. Old. to 2s. Oid. per
rupee, for ten months' date, and about 2s. fbr six months'
sight bills, bur, principally owing to the falling off in the
remittances by Treasury dratiAlits (those by the Had-
dington only amounting to about 97.0000 these rates
could not be maintained; and, ere the closing of the
express, business was done at an advance of about 2 per
cent. On the receipt of the mail of the 7th of May the
rates again became unsettled; and, notwithstanding that
the amount of remittances was even more moderate than
by the previous opportunity, the impossibility of making
returns in produce, owing to the scarcity of tonnage,
forced buyers into the market, and our rates may now be
quoted at 2s. for six months' sight bills, and 2s. (id. to
2s. Old. for those of ten months' date.
An almost unprecedented inactivity, for the season,
has prevailed in our produce markets, and the transac-
tions appear to have been mostly limited to rice; for the
high rates of freight, which the large shipments of that
article has kept up, precluded extensive operations in
any of the other bulky staples, whilst the other more
freight,valuable is
prcohdieuficy such as is most affected in the homee, which can comparatively bear higher
markets by the prevailing distress and tightness of money
there.
The transactions in imports have been on a very mo-
derate scale, but little inquiry being as yet manifested
for the upper provinces. Considering the present scarcity
money—the uncertainty as to pecuniary relief—and
the limited demand for produce, all of which seem likely
to continue for sortie time to come, it is difficult to fix on
any definite period for a favourable reaction in the pre-
,ent state of affairs, particularly so when the ntaitional
..hipmenis to arrive within the next two months, which
will add considerably to our present stuck, ale taken
into consideration.

The favourable advices for rice brought by the Had-
,thigton having bee,. confirmed by the subsequent mail,
and the great scarcity of shipping in our river still con-
inning, freights have been steadily advancing, and we
may now quote our rams as follows:-91 10s. to 91. 15s.
for sugar and rice, at which almost all vessels here, and
xpecied to arrive, have been taken up. Under these
cacumstances we do not see any possibility of a mate-
rial decline taking place won, particularly as the large
quantities of produce rapidly accumulating in the bazaar
must eventually find their way to Europe, whilst the
'hipping lists from England show comparatively but few
vessel. bound to India.

We have to notice the total loss of the Roberts, which
vessel was ournt to the water's edge, off Saugor. on
the 29th ult. She was bound to China, and the prin-
cipal portion of her cargo consisted of about 3,700 bales
of cotton, and 1,150 hags of saltpetre. Crew saved.
Indigo—ln our last issue of the Bth ultimo we stated
that at that time prospects were for a full average
crop. We now regret, for the sake of our planter
alvtida, to be obliged to report continued heavy rain
over nearly every district in Bengal. In Jessore, where
the sowings were some., hat late, we fear it has done
irreparable injury, and few, if any,
that district are likely to turn out of the planters in
more than last
year. In Dacca, Myinensing, Pubna, and Rajshye, they
had a splendid show of plant, but have suffered Equally
from the heavy rain, and within the
past eight days_
the rivers have ben rising
,'il destroyed, particularly with unusual rapidity, and

Kis h has been
•
more fortunate, and chiefly the southern parts, the
e
land being high, arid consequently better able to bear
the heavy rains; to the northward, however, and to-
wards Jungypore, the prospects are indifferent. From
Bhaugulpore also our accounts are bad, the greater part
of the low lands having been completely swamped, and
none of the planters look forward to an average season
under the most favourable circumstances. Poorneah
has also suffered from the same cause; some concerns in
Maldah will do pretty
well, but it is doubtful if any of
them will make a large season. The accounts from Tir-
hoot are diversified; from some parts we hear of con-
stant heavy rains injuring th© plant,—from others, that
they are suffering from drought, whilst at more fortu-
nate concerns prospects continue good. In Benares and
the north-west provinces they had commenced sowing,
and much will depend upon the state of the weather
during the next twenty days, but as yet the expectations
of the planters are good.
Upon the whole, we think that there is no reason to
anticipate a larger crop than an average one, under the
most favourable circumstances, while a return of bad
weather may make it less. For the last few days we
have had in Calcutta fine sunny weather, alternated with
showers of rain, and we trust the same has extended to
the interior.
Sugar—Our market is at present well supplied with
the new Benares sorts, which have found purchasers to a
limited extent at Br. 12a. to 9r. 4a. for the finer descrip-
tions, but the demand is far from active, caused by the
high ruling of tonnage for England, nor do we see any
prospect of improvement; unless holders submit to a
very conaiderable decline in order to compensate for the
high freights which shippers are obliged to pay, and of
this there is little probability, as the present prices are
lower than they have been for a length of time. In the
lower &-scriptions of Khaur 'soiree sales have been ef:
tected to local refiners, but for the English market there
is no demand. • Esparta in all June were 56,000 maunds.
Saltpetre—The improved position of this staple in the
London market, conatquent. on the i apidly & creasing
stocks, has caused some parties to come forward, and a
few purchases have been made for Great Britain at
about former rates. The; Americans still continue in the
brisk demand for

of a few sales for the English market at former rates.
The Americans have also been in the market to a trifling

transaction to report in either of these articles, pur-
chases being confined to a few lots of native manufac-
ture ; the bulk of the shell lac shipped this month being

Oil Seeds—We have not heard of a single purchase
having been made in any description of goods -under this
head for the English market, the continued high !Whiz
of freights having apparently acted as ecomplete check
to operations.. .The Americans and French have been in
the market, and both linseed and mustard seed have
maintained their price, and for the former a slight ad-
vance is being paid for superior cleaned lots. '
Hides—Transactions in this staple have, during the
past month, been almost suspended for the British mar
ket, and prices of such descriptions as are adapted for
that market may be considered as merely nominal. Some
of the shipments gone forward on account of natives are
said to contain very inferior quality of hides, which, it is
feared, will not repay the sums advanced. The Ameri-
cans in the early part of the month made several pur
chases of cow hides, but have lately confined themselves
to buffalo hides. For France very little has been bought.
The stock here is now very large, and will be further in-
creased by the large quantities now on their way from
the provinces. -
Opium—The public sale of opium, which took place on
the 17th ultimo, exhibits the following result :

Cbest;. Highest. Lowest. Average. Proceeds.
Patna 1,690 1,315 1,290 1,300 12 6 21,98,325
Benares 715 1,260 1,250 1,253 6 9 8,96,200

Since the above sale prices have a little rallied, and we
now quote Patna opium 1,290 re., Benares, 1,245.

IMPORTS FROM EUROPE.

British Cotton Piece Goods.We have again to report
a quiet market for nearly all descriptions of goods under
this head, the sales of the month being principally con-
fined 'to the demand for local consumption, . the demand
for the up. country marts generally felt at this season of
the year not hiving yet taken plate, the greater amount
of sales reported have been in. low gray shirtings,
which continue inquired • after, being light in stoeit ;
the better sorts can only be passed oft by impor-
ters submitting to a decline on the low ;,prices
ruling previously, which in some instances has been
done, acid considerable parcels have folind buyers.
The lower descriptions of bleached shiitings. have
also been sold to some extent, .but - the finer
sorts cannot be placed except at a considerable sacrifice.
Grey Madapallanr of low qualities are saleable, but butter
sorts are neglected; whites are also difficult of sale,: Low
greyjaconets have met with a ready sale, in some in-
stances a slight advance on former rates,, but in these, as
in nearly all cloth, the finer, sorts. have been' neglected,
and are difficultof sale unless at a eicrifice t • there- is, a
slight inquiry for the finer threads of biesched, t.h6-
stock of which sort is light. - -
Coloured and Printed Goods;:—There-cont§ues to be
a slight demand experienced for 'these good 4 but the,
prices obtained are very low. The torts priniipally in.
quired for are low Bengal stripes,' which brave been
placed to a considerable extent at, for common, 2r. Ba.
per piece, and for better sorts 3r.,, for which there is a
lair inquiry. Most other descriptions are neglected,
and can only be forced of by a heavy sacrifice being
submitted te. Turkey red cloths, both plain and printed,
meet with a ready sale at remunerating rates.
Woollens—Our market for these goods' has been.un•
usually dull at this season of the year, which' is gene-
rally looked on as the briskest, and sales can' only be
effected by importers submitting to a discount of 15 to
25 per cent. on invoice.
Mule Twist—Holders having shown more disposition
to reduce their stocks by submitting to a slight. decline
on former rates, sales to a considerable extent have been
made, consisting principally of No. 40.
Coloured Yarn—There has been a slight improvement
in the demand for German dye Turkey red, which has
been placed to some extent at lr. Ba. per lb. Sales are
also reported of English dye at lr. 4a. per lb., but the
latter is in moderate demand. In other colours we have
not heard of any transactions.
Beer—A large sale of Allsopp's brand has taken place
at 70rs. per hhd., which figure importers were induced
to accept on account of the extent of the purchase, say
1,500 hhds.; since which, however, they have shown no
anxiety to sell, and prices may be quoted at BOrs. per
hhd. In Bass's, considerable sales were made at 85rs.,
but in order to close a shipment 80rs. was accepted for a
small parcel on hand. •

Metals—We have little, if any, improvement to.notice
in the position of our market for metals, it being still
seriously affected by the continued pressure on our money
market, and the difficulty the bazaar merchants )expe-
Hence in disposing of their sugars. Copper hal been
placed to a moderateexten4 sheathing may be quoted at
37r. 4a., and slab at 30 per rad. and tile at Sa. Rs 33-4
per rod. In spelter we have heard of 'but few transac-
tions, holders being firm, owing to the lightness of
stocks; some small sales are, however, reported at Ct. Rs.
10 3 per md. Iron has been in rather better inquiry,,
sales of flat, bar, and bolt having been made at Rs. 3-8.
per md., and sheet has been sold to arrive at Rs., 6.2;
hoop may be quoted at 5-14 to 6, at which figura it is
readily saleable, stocks of this kind being light.
Salt—Government, by a public notification, annotinced
the new modifications in the rules for bonding salt. A
portion of the Gov.ernment Golahs on the opposite, side
of the river will be available at a fixed rent for bonding
imported salt, but parties desirous of bonding it in, pri-
vate warehouses will be permitted to do so upon a fa-
vourable report of the collector of customs and_ the
sanction of the Salt Board. The rate of wastage allowed
is ;o be four per cent. on the quantity weighing over
the ship's side, but the import duty will be Settled on
the quantity so delivered. All expenses attei dant oe
receipt, storage, custody, and delivery at warehouses
so licensed, are to be defrayed by parties 'bonding.
the total bonding rules of the 28th of September, 1841,
will continue to govern the practice in all cases in which
the new warehouses are:not concerned, or where license
is not granted. We trust that these facilities afforded
by Government will give a new impulse to the impor
tation of salt from England, though under present cir-
cumstances the advantage now gained seems more ima
Binary than practical.
Exchange—The fluctations which have prevailed in
the rates of Exchange since our last report, have b. en
checked by the falling off in the remittances from home
and the impossibility of shipping produce to Europe
fur want of available tonnage. Buyers have, thereldre,
been forced into the market, and the bulk of the trans-
actions for the present mail may be quoted at 2s. per
rupee for six months, sight drafts ; and from 2s. Old.
to 28. • Oid. -for 10 months, date bills. Although we
have heard of some l urchases having been made of un-
exceptionable bills on much better terms, yet theie
solitary transactions do not come within the scope of
the prevailing and current rates

MONEY MARKE P.
The tightness in our money market still continues,
and the banks maintain their highest rates of interest
and discount. It was feared that the news of the mone-
tary dtre.ngement at home would seriously affect our
market, but those apprehensions seem to have been
groundless, for on the w hole there appears to exist a
better feeliwg, and we confidently hope that after the
next opium sale, which is the last of the season, money
will become comparatively more easy. Public securities
show a slight tendency to an advance, and considerable
amounts of the new Five per Cent. Loan have changed
hands during this week.

Freights—The considerable quantity of rice which
has been shipped since the receipt of the favourable ad-
vices from home has caused a steady advance in the rates
of our freights ; and, considering the paucity of ship-
ping in our river, and the large amount engaged of ton-
nage expected to arrive, we see no prospect of a material
decline for some time to come, particularly as large
quantities of produce are lying ready to be:shipped from
hence on the first favourable occasion. We are given
to understand that 3,000 tons have been engaged {to
arrive) :-at rates var>ing from 81. 15, to 9L 10s. for
rice, and from 81. 12s. to 81. 15s. for sugar.

BURGLARY AT A LICENSED VICTUALLER'S.—Yes-
terday (Sunday) morning the premises of Mr. Procter,
the Old King's Head, Blackfriars road, were feloniously
enters-d by thieves, and property to a considerable
amount was successfully carried away. It appears that
about one o'cloCk the 'amity and servants retired to reit,
leaving the house secured, and at seven, when the bar-
man came down, he discovered that the place had been
broken into. A large quantity of silver plate, and cash
to the amount of 25L, had been stolen by the burglsrs.
Upon making a minute examination of the premises, it-
seems that they effected an entrance at the rear of the
house,. scaling a wall in Wellington-streetr by which
means they easily ran along another portion of brick-
work, which brought theta to a small window,
muhicating with the bar-parlour, where they knew the
plate and cash were kept.
Lieut. Munro is now confined in one of the con-
demned rooms, where all persons against whom sentence
of death is recorded are placed. He has been informed
that until an order to the contrary be received from.the
Secretory of -State, be will have to be put upon prison
'allowan'ce, being deprived of the:.few-.comforts- he• has
enjoyed since his surrender. It is stated that in addi-
tion to the witnesses who spoke to his general charac-
ter, none of whom, it seems, had been communicated
with, but who came forward voluntarily, there were 30
or 40 other in attendants on the trill.
