THE OVERLAND MAIL.

Despatches from India, Australia, and China, in
anticipation of the Overland Mail, have reached
us. They bear dates—Calcutta' March 22 ; Bom-
bay, April 2 ; Australia, Feb. 17 ; and China,
March 15. We append extracts :
(From the Bombay Times of April 2.)
SIIMMARY.—The opening. of the hot weather is a
period of the year proverbial for its barrenness of
intelligence. Coming on us this season after a year
of unusual dearth, March proves literally newaless,
affording us the single comfort, that no news is
good news for the state and that we can never be
worse off for a commodity of intelligence than at
present. The Sonthal insurrection is not only com-
pletely quieted, but the malcontents, lately spread-
ing terror through the district 4, are quietly, and of
their own freewill, earning their bread as railway
labourers, improving the country they lately ra-
vaged. Oude continues as tranquil and orderly as
any of the oldest provinces of the empire, and the
organisation for the new administration off affairs
is all but completed. From the characters of many
of the new employes, an impression has got abroad,
that more weight has been given to hints and re-
commendations from home in filling up vacancies
than to the views of the Chief Commissioner. If
Sir James Outram is to be held responsible for the
good government of the province the absolute no-
mination of his employes is indispensable ; until
the curse of patronage is removed from India, the
efficient administration of affairs is imp ssibe.
A doctor has been placed at the head of the
Post-office department; a civilian, to whom educa-
tion is as strange as astrology, is director of Pub.
lie Instruction. Even under circumstances of
which these are specimens, we have no doubt that
Oude will thrive, though it seems strange that
we, who make mis-government the plea of extin-
guishing a dynasty, should make the concern of ap-
pointments take precedence of that of the good of
the people. The late King has got as far as °awn-
pore, on his way, it is said, to England, without
the most remote chance of securing one atom of
public sympathy. The agitation in Parliament
against annexation is received with ridicule and
contempt in India, for of the hundreds of petitions
prepared annually at each of the presidencies, we
have ninety-nine against the tyranny of native
princes for one against the miscondut of the
British Government, and no occasion is ever let
slip, by educated natives, of proclaiming the vast
superiority of English to indigenous rule. Our
Punjaub mountain frontier continues infested with
robbersand murderers, but there has been no outburst
of the mountaineers in force for many months past,
and on the whole we have throughout the year been
enjoying as much tranquillityas could perhaps under
the circumstances be looked for. The alarm that
our new acquisitions in Burmah would prove a
burden on the empire has been dispelled by the
publication of the balance-sheet of Pegu. In the
third year of our possession, with a defective popu-
lation and its resources undeveloped, we find an
expenditure of 170,0001, a-year, and an income of
226,0001. ' • or if we deduct extraordinary expendi-
ture, and accept only net receipts, we have a
balance in favour of 10,0001. a-year. The revenue
during the past year has risen by a quarter of a
million sterling, while the expenditure has but
little advanced, and already the province, which it
was feared might prove ruinous, yields a contribu-
tion of 100,0001. a-year to the general resources of
the state, or nearly 10 per cent, on the gross charges
of the war. Rangoon has been visited by one of
those unintelligible panics which seem occasionally
to afflict all native communities. A rumour was
spread abroad that a number of Malays were
in the town securing human victims for slaughter.
No man would stir out after nightfall, or per-
mit his children to move out of his sight.
Some clever scoundrels, aware of the popular
belief, turned it into money. Men were seized
after dusk to be carried before the Deputy Com-
missioner. Of course long before they reached the
court a douceur procured the release of the victim.
Several of these men have been arrested, and will
be brought to trial.—Prome has been utterly de-
stroyed by fire. It broke out about noon on

the 25th of February, and in less than four hours
consumed the entire town. Over a space of some
300,000 square yards nothing but ruins are to be
seen. The place contained few brick houses, and
will be readily rebuilt, but the loss of property
must be very great. The principal sufferers are of
.1; course the merchants. AS uz the fire at Rangoon)
