A letter just received from Berlin, dated July 14, in
a eluding to the sulj,ct of Danmark and the German
}duchies, says :—" Pinssia will not again attempt to
vindicate her pretensiou to be called the sword of Ger-
many' by putting her troops at the service of a central
Federal Power to enforce its behests against offending
Denmark, nor is Austria likely to send her forces again
across the whole width of Germany to complete the
'pacification' of the Duchies, for the diplomatic rela-
' tions between Austria and Denmark have been for some
time past of the coolest, 'ever since the Austrian Minis-
ter at Copenhagen took part in the European agitation
s igainst Russia, and split upon the rock of the over•
sheitning Russian influence at that Court."

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

We have received our correspondence and papers
from Cq.lcutta to the 3d of June, and from Bombay
to the 10th,of June.

CALCUTTA, JUNE 3.
An 'insurrection has broken out in Kimedy:,
This province is the most northerly of the districti
of Madrasa wild, rough district, without a road;
covered Withlow hills,
and inhabited by Khonds
and Sowriihs; The latter tribe, who occupy the
hillito the eastward, are now in rebellion. It. ap-
pears that a ;Village chieftain, named Danda,
Swainee,,waa recently arrested by the authorities
in Gania'n birsweharge of dacoity. He was tried,
and his sentence referred for approyal to the Go-
vernment of Madras. Meanwhile he escaped, re-.
gained his own village, and summoned his clan to
arras:: They appear for some time past to have
been savagely discontented with the administra-
tion of justice among them, and au old device was
employed to increase their courage. Au avatar, or
incarnation of the Deity, made his appearance
among
,them in the shape of a small brass image.
As 'brazen images do not talk except to the ini-
tiated, Danda acted as the interpreter, and by his
orders no less than 10,000 men were collected.
They proceeded to attack the manager of Purla
Kimedy, who fled-for his life. Seven of the police
were killed on the spot,' and the whole country was
instantly in an uproar. It is not as yet known
whether the attack is directed against the Euro-
peans or against the local anthorities ; but it seems
_probable that the savages have been irritated by
native officials. No, proclamations, however, have
as yet been received, and these tribes are so irrita-
ble, superstitious and childlike that the existence
of substantial grievances is still doubtful. The in-
stant the report reached Madras the Government
despatched the 31st Native Infantry to the
scene. Another regiment in Nagpore was
warned for action, and a troop of artillery de-
s-atched from Waltair. These arrangements in-
dicate
judgment and vigour, but the country is
nearly impassable, the rains will set in in a fort-
night, and we shall probably lose as many lives as
in a moderately hard-fought battle. The condition
of these wild districts demands investigation. They
are really less known than the interior of Africa. I
question if a single member of Government, when
the news reached him, understood clearly where
Kimedy might be. The public certainly did •not,
and yet the district is as large as the majority of
English counties.
Considerable apprehension is entertained of au-
other rising in Bengal also. Despite all the efforts
of the Government—and Mr. Halliday has really
exerted himself to the utmost—large bodies of
Sonthals continue in arms in the recesses of the
jungle. They appear stricken with a senseless,
causeless fear, which neither promises nor favours
can remove. They are armed, and in the rains,
when the country is impassable, will probably give
much trouble. Another party of the same t,ihe
has been.dispersed through Hazareebagh, and with
the great Cole tribe of that district menaces the
Government. These savages, like the rest of the
tribes, are oppressed by the money-lenders. They
fancy that rebellion will pay off their scores, and
are, moreover, tempted by the injudicious lenity
with which the Sonthals have throughout been
treated.

The question of conferring additional security on
leaseholders is still before the Legislative Council.
The speech of Mr. Vernon Smith, announcing
his resolution to cut down all salaries to the co-
lonial.', level, has created a great sensation.
The Calcutta Englishman, of June 3 says :—" It
affords a strong indication of an intended loan that
the directors of the Bank of Bengal yesterday re-
duced their rates on private bills one per cent., on
Government bills two per cent., on loans and cash
credits on deposit of government paper two, and on
deposit of goods one per cent."
Lord Canning has been unwell. The climate of
Calcutta does not appear to agree with him. It is
rarely innoxious to men who reach the country after
the age of 40.

BOMBAY, JUNE 10.

By the latest accounts from Oudo there appears
to be a probability that the new settlement will not
be quite completed without bloodshed. The Rajah
Toolseere*46.feettlattkrewLitiziate and a
tuiraiiiit'one, seems disposed to behave towards
his new masteras he did towards his old, and refuses
to pay his rent now, as he has frequently had done
in the old times. A force was accordingly organised
at the nearest military station, Secrora, to proceed
against this refractory chief. At first a portion
only of the available troops were put in orders, but
subsequently the whole garrison was directed to
hold itself in readiness to move. Two irregular
cavalry corps had also been ordered out from Luck-
now, but the heat of the weather—it was at the
end of May—was so intense that the order was
countermanded. It would seem that the means of
the Rajah must be somewhat formidable, but of
their nature and extent nothing certain was gene-
rally known at Secrora. He has a fort at a place
called Kuncla, five miles from Toolseepore, against
which it was supposed Mr. Wingfield, the commis-
sioner, would direct the force ; but of the number
of his adherents various rumours were in circula-
tion, of which one rated them as high has 10,000.
But there can be no doubt that if he persists in
holding out he must eventually succumb ; and
it is to be hoped that he himself will see this so
strongly as to give in peaceably. Several minor
landholders and chiefs are said to be watching
his proceedings, on whom the example of his
timely submission to a display of our force might
operate favourably for the continued peace of the
country.
A letter from the same station of Secrora men-
tions that Col. Barlow, of the late King's force,
commander of his troops in the sanguinary and vic-
torious skirmish with Ameer Ali and the fanatics
last year, in which he was severely wounded, has
received a public letter from the new Commis-
sioner of Oude, apprising him that Government
had passed a resolution to the effect that he is to
receive a pension of 200 r. a-month (3201. a-year),
and a gratuity of six months' pay, which he is at
liberty to draw forthwith.
We have had no intelligence since the date of
my last letter from Affghanistan, nor do we hear
of anything stirring in the North-West Provinces
or in the Punjab. Into the latter province a new
educational scheme has been introduced, under the
auspices of the Director of Public Instruction.
Sir John Lawrence, Chief Commissioner of the
Punjab, will, it is stated, visit Gholab Singh in
Cashmere during the ensuing cold sea,on, probably
in the month of October, when Sir John leaves
Murree for Lahore. This will be the first meeting
of the English Commissioner and the Maharajah
within the dominions of the latter ; and the story
goes that Gholab will be on his best behaviour,
and •will attempt to make everything look as bright
as possible before the eyes of the distinguished
visitor. A special corps is to be despatched to
wait upon and escort the Commissioner, and to
keep the roads in the vicinity of his camp clear of
the robbers with which they are infested.
All was quiet at Rangoon when the last accounts
left. No insurrection had taken place or was now
apprehended, though that one had been planned
was fully believed. A severe gale off the port had
done considerable damage to the shipping. The
last detachment of the Bth Bengal Irregult r Cavalry
were leaving, to the regret of the town and settle-
ment.
Dr. O'Shaughnessy has published a first annual
report of the working of the Indian electric tele-
graph. It appears that the total number of mes•
sages despatched during the year was 9,971, one-
third of which were sent by natives, whose confi-
dence in the telegraph is great, and steadily in-
creasing. The greater part of the messages passed
through the Bombay office, in communication with
Calcutta or Madras. The receipts have averaged
upwards of 1,0001. a-month.
All fears of distress from lack of water have been
finally dispelled by a violent burst of the monsoon.
On the Ist the rain began to fall in earnest, and
has continued to such effect that we register in all
nearly 12 inches already.
Lord Elphinstone is at the Presidency. The
head-quarters of the army have moved, on the
coming of the rains, from Malutbleshw ur to Poonah.
The money market is more easy, and the Bank
of Bombay has reduced its rate of discount 1 per
cent. all round. The rate of exchange has slightly
advanced since the arrival of the English mail. All
the coasting trade and the communication with the
interior are at an end for three months, so the im-
port market is dull. Exports continue active.
All public works the completion of which costa
more than a thousand pounds have stopped 1),
order of Government, it having been discovered,
as is supposed, that a financial crisis was Lurrying
on without our suspecting its approach. Almost,
simultaneously with this the Supreme Government
has set its face against the construction of public
works by private enterprise and capital. Those
L things the country most requires the Government
