OVERLAND MAIL

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES.

The French Government received on Sunday the
following telegraphic dispatches :
" MALTA, JUNE 22.
" The India mail brings accounts of the 12th and
19th of May.
" Tranquillity prevailed in the Punjaub. Lord
Hardinge and the Commander-in-Chief were at
Simla.

" The disturbances continued in the dominions of
the Niz am. A mutiny having taken place among
the troops, in consequence of an attempt made by
the Minister to deprive them of fifteen months' ar-
rears, the contingent was ordered to march, and for
the first time a body of English troops entered the
city of Hyderabad to protect the Minister.
" The Indian journals state, on the authority of
letters from Teheran, that the Shah of Persia had
renounced the intention of commanding in person
the expedition against Khorassan."

" MALTA, JUNE 22.

" We have received at Malta no Canton journal.
The Hong-Kong Register publishes an account of the
expedition against the city, together with several
official documents.

" General d'Aguilar had left Captain Graves at
Canton in command of the troops and volunteers, who
were daily drilled.
" All business was interrupted at Canton, and the
merchants were removing all their property, being
apprehensive either of a rising of the people, who
would plunder them as well as the foreigners, or of
a new attack on the part of the English, who, they
supposed, were expecting reinforcements from India.
" Menacing placards against the English and Go-
vernor Keying had been posted up through the city.
" The journals contain no news from Cochin-
China."

in-
telligence from China. This mail has followed so
closely that of the 12th, that little news could be
expected, and therefore we are not disappointed at the
few matters of interest which the present arrival
supplies. We have great pleasure, however, in stat-
ing that tranquillity continues to prevail nearly
throughout India, and that the improved condition of
all classes connected with that empire, is daily and
hourly manifesting itself. Instead of war, bloodshed,
and death, we read of balls, gaieties, and festivities.
We must, however, mention that the Nizam's domi-
nions are an exception ; for we learn that the King's
regular troops having been defrauded of fifteen
months' pay by one of his ministers, mutinied ; and
in order to suppress the serious consequences likely
to arise out of such a state of things, a British force
was called in, which marched through the town of
Hyderabad, to secure the safety of the obnoxious
officer of the Government.
Commercial matters both at Bombay and at
Calcutta present no feature of particular importance.
In fact, little or no change had taken place since the
previous mails were dispatched from those Presiden-
cies. The exchange at Bombay on London was 2s.
to 2s. Old. per rupee, six months' sight; that at Cal-
cutta, 2s. old. to 2s. Old. for ten months' bills.
We subjoin extracts :
(From the Bombay Times of May 20.)
The clustering of the mails together just before the
setting in of the rainy season—to allow for the delay
expected to be experienced by the steamers, from the
strong and adverse winds betwixt this and Aden—
reduces the time over which our observations extend
to a week; and unusually short as the period is, it is
still more unusually newsless. No mail from Eng-
land has reached us since last dispatch. The present
packet is that which but for the season would have
been sent off on the Ist of next month; those of 19th
of June, 19th of July, and 27th of August, respec-
tively belonging to the Ist of July, August, and
September. The 15th of October will bring all
right again; till then we shall have only one dispatch
a month.
Our dates from Sinde, formerly extending to the
Bth, now come down to the 16th. The general good
health of the troops is the only item which is de-
serving
of notice. The Governor continues at Kur-
rachee, in the enjoyment apparently of excellent
health and spirits.
The only news we have from the Punjaub assures
us of the continued tranquillity of the country, and the
improving prospects of the policy of Lord Hardinge
being carried out successfully. Lieutenant Nicholson
had returned to the capital. The Dewan Hakeem
Rae had had the Governorship of Peshawur con-
ferred on him. The Maharaja Ghoolab Singh
continued in Cashmere. He had issued a proclama-
tion intimating that throughout that province the
coins of Jamoo were from henceforth exclusively to
pass current. There had been some disturbances on
the Rawul Pindee borders, which required the inter-
position of force for their suppression. The rumours
of the dangers likely to arise from the insubordina-
tion of the disbanded Seikh troops, the duplicity
and dishonesty of Ghoolab Singh, and the advance
of Dost Mahomed on Peshawur, like all the other
tales of terror consequent on the recent arrange-
ments that have been circulated, have proved with-
out the shadow of foundation. The prospect of
difficulties darkening the horizon now becomes so
dim and distant that it is hoped it may have alto-
gether vanished long before Lord Hardinge takes
his departure, still supposed to be in the month of
January next. Details of balls, gaieties, and festivi-
ties of all sorts take the place of news from the
British section of the Seikh dominions.
In Rajpootana the pursuit of the notorious bandit
chief Doongjee and his followers had been abandoned,
in consequence of the advanced state of the season ;
nothing of a very satisfactory nature having as yet
been effected. Colonel Sutherland, the Resident, with
a large cortege of followers, had arrived at Mount
Aboo, where they were to reside for the season, for
the benefit of change of air.
The Nizam's dominions present a worse view at
present than they have for along time past. The whole
of the regular troops of the King have mutinied,
consequent on an attempt made by the Minister to
i.lefraud them of, it is said 15 months' arrears of wages,
the troops of the contingent were called on, on the
night of the 3d instant, to prevent the disturbances
feared to be about breaking out, and for the first time
a British force marched through the town of Hyder-
abod to the protection of the Minister. Preparations
for resistance had been made at one gate of the town
by which the mutineers thought our troops would
have entered, but luckily they had gone in at
amother, and thus prevented the bloodshed which
would inevitably have been occasioned had they come
in contact with the irritated irregulars. A portion
of the troops have continued in the town ever since;
an d measures are being taken to rid the state of the
mu.tineers—it is said much against the will of the

preic ace of human sacrifices, for a time put down, is
untie rstood to be once more returning.
2d uch excitement has been occasioned by the deci-
sion. of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Madras
in th e case of a Hindoo girl, of twelve years of age,
whc, had become a convert to Christianity, and desired
to re side with the family of one of our missionaries.
Her parents having appealed to the Supreme Court
for tike recovery of the child, the Court decided that
she i vas competent to select her own place of resi-
den o 1, and she accordingly remains at the house of
the E Lev. Mr. Anderson. The judgment of the Ma-
dras Bench is in direct opposition to that of the
Sulu eme Court of Bombay, in a case precisely simi-
lar, - which came before them in 1843; and in the
rep 01 .t of the judgments first given in the Atlas, Sir
W. :13urton seemed to have reflected in very unbe-
con xing terms on Sir H. Roper and Sir E. Perry. It
tur Ded out that the address of the Learned Judge had
bee n altogether misapprehended by the reporter, and
that; he in reality cast no imputation whatever on his
brcfaren.
