term be applied to ships or officers arranging for
hostilities on the shores of the country meant to be
attacked, as fraught with danger. With the excep-
tion of what has just been given, we are absolutely
destitute of news. The most profound tranquillity
reigns throughout every part of India, and wo have
not so much as a frontier disturbance to chronicle.
The cold weather is setting in everywhere, and
promises to be somewhat earlier than usual. The
Governor-General and Governors of the minor
Presidencies are at the seat of authority. Our
import market wears rather a quiet appearance, in
consequence of the approaching Dewallee holidays,
which commence on the2gth instant. The money
market has been easy, and no alteration has taken
place in the rates of interest ruling at the banks.
Government and other securities are dull of sale,
and quotations generally low. Freights have ad-
vanced and command very fair rates in consequence
of more vessels being required by Government for
the transport service.

We have receited by Ex_traordinary Express, in
anticipation of the Overland Mail, our despatches
from India, from which we make the following im-
portant extracts :

SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 14.
The Royal Mail Company's steam ship La Plata,
Captain C. G. Weller, arrived this evening at half-
past seven o'clock, from the West Indies, with the
usual mails, in charge of Lieutenant Irwin, R.N.,
Admiralty agent.
On her outward voyage the La Plata experienced
constant easterly winds, and for several days blow-
ing hard, with a heavy head sea.
The latest dates brought by the La Plata are :

SITAIMARY.—AImost the only new; for the past
fortnight we have to communicate is that connected
have with the Persian
anythingrsianGulf expedition, and of this we
said already. The followtieogsraeyymiseodrelistthoafuthle

tion ever sail, will be found pretty nearly correct

20th N. I. from Belgaum, the Belooch Battalion

Two hundred sabres of the Poona Horse, under
Col. Tapp, from Seroor, and a like number of Sap-
pers and Miners, from Poona, under Major - Hill.
Blake's Troop of Horse Artillery from Poona, and
Brett's Battery from Kurrachee—amounting in all
to about five thousand men. The starting of the
force is expected to depend on the nature of
the instructions from home by the mail now due
—this again depending on the reply given by
the Shah to our ultimatum, which we have
little doubt will be satisfactory. As none of the
troops have yet received marching orders, it
will be impossible for the expedition to sail be-
fore the middle of November. The staff, which
has already been pretty fully given, is as follows :
General Stalker to command ; Colonel Leith, Adju-
taut General; Captain Collier, Assistant. Major
Pope —shouldhe not be prevented by the Kattiwar
inquiries now in progress—or, otherwise, Captaiu
Gordon, Lieutenants Grey and Le Strange (already
gone), and Thain will be as Assistants to take
charge of the Commissariat. The Quartermaster
General's department is under charge of Captain
Wray and Lieutenant Holland (already gone) ;
the Pay Department under Major Barr, and
Dr. M‘Kenzie is to be at the head of the
Medical Staff. The force, if not very large, is as
compact and efficient-looking as need be desired,
and will, we have no doubt, perform to
admiration any task that may be assigned to it.
Once before the walls of Herat, ,which we have not
the slightest dream of their everebeing, they would
disperse a Persian mob of a hundred thousand like
chaff before them. We regret that some dozen
picked men, most expert in the use of Jacob's rifles,
should not have formed a part of the expedition.
We have no desire to see even a Persian killed in
the way of experiment, but to have shown them a
powder magazine blown up a mile away by a firelock
discharged from the arm would, we think, so have
confounded them that they w 'old have thought twice
before troubling us again. Under the exaggeration
accompanying such a feat, by the time the tidings
reached the Shah, he would have felt Uncomfort-
able in his Zenana, lest a shell might reach him
from the nearest frontier. If practice can now be
made as true at a mile as it used to be at -100 yards,
why should not the imagination stretch it out to a
league or a degree ? The thing as it stands seems
impossible ; and if the seeming impossibility of
yesterday be transformed into the fact of to-day,
why should not that of to-morrow be realised as the
practice of nex t week? A number of additional ships
have within the past few days been taken "up, but
the opinion still continues general, in the best in-
formed quarters, that there will be no fighting
after all. The fall of Herat seems at length to be
placed beyond all doubt—the wonder is that the
mystery about the matter should have been main-
tained so tong. We are still without particulars,
and the amount of heroism, iike that of slaughter,
on either side appears to be marvellously micro-
scopic. The orders from Downing-street are un-
derstood to have been that our ambassador at Con-
stantinoplo should open any communication re-
ceived from Teheran, transmitting the substance
of the contents to England by telegraph, and act-
ing on the orders that might be received in return.
These were to have been forwarded by express
steamer to Alexandria, so as to overtake the
mail. As no express had arrived at Constaitinople
at all, matters still remain in doubt, the impres-
sion prevalent from the first gaining ground
that the expedition will Raver sail. Meanwhile we
learn from the Gulf that the Resident at Bushire,
Captain Jones, has declined permitting the officers
of the Commissariat and Quartermaster General's
Department to land, as he could not be responsible
for their safety. To us it appears' indeed, rather
cool, that we should have thought of the
enemy suffering us to make arrangements ' in
his
..own country for an invasion. Our am-
bassador at Paris might safely warn off officers
sent to Calais or Boulogne to make prepara-
tions for the debarkation of a British army intended
for the subjugation of France. The local authorities
at these sea-ports would indeed have made short
work with the matter, by making theintraders ieri-
manors of war at (meet: Had the anthorities-at By;
shire acted in like,- Manner they would have done
nothing more than what duty to their own Govern-
ment demanded, and a simple warning off the pre-
mises, even by them, could not under the circum-
stances be construed into an insult or in act of hos-
tility. Though Captain Jones prevented an unplea-
sant necessity on the part of Persia, we are glad to
learn that the utmost politeness was shown to the
staff officers personally by the chief men at Bushire.
On both sides it is pleasant to observe that
whatever may be the result of existing misunder-
standings, none of those! irritations have arisen '
which are apt to exacerbate hostilities or accele-
rate collision, and which, after conflict is over,
make a reconcilement difficult. A Persian official
at present residing in Bombay is being maintained
at the public charge, and receiving every honour
and courtesy required by his rank and position,
while British officers sent purposely to make ar-
rangements for the descent of a hostile force, ex-
perienced the utmost politeness from the men of
rank of the country we propose to invade, and re-
ceived warning to quit from the representative of
their own Government, having met with nothing
but civility from the enemy. It is the powerless-
ness of Persia alone that permits the Feroze to
make surveys for the purposes of invasion ; one
country has no right to examine the shores and
pry into the ports of another without permission,
especially with war in view. The Feroze will be
compelled to withdraw into deep water at once if
so desired, or should collision arise from our refus-
ing to obey a right and lawful order, the responsi-
bility of commencing hostilities, on a wholly new
ground, and one which might most enormously
complicate the. quarrel, would devolve on us.
Persia at present seems to be altogether in
the wrong. The direct violation of the treaty
of 1853, which prevented her approaching
Herat, amply justifies hostilities, should we
choose to resort to them. On the other hand, an
attempt on our part to force a survey of her
shores avowedly for hostile purpose, is unjustifi-

THE FALL OF HERAT.
(Prom the Delhi Gazette, Oct. 2.)

The fall of Herat is no longer questionable. The
annexed advices from Cabul are of later date than
those published in the Delhi, Gazette of the 13th
inst. Our hhief agent informs us that the despatch,
under date the sth September, has been delayed
in consequence of " the temporary imprisonment
of the Kossid by the Ghilzie Tribe (now at war)."
Our second despatch from. Cabul is dated the 14th
of September :

" Cabul, Sept. 5.

" When the commander of the Persian forces sur-
rounded Herat, ShazAdah Mahotned Yasul begged and
coaxed the inhabitants to keep quiet, and when the city
was taken, caused Esa Khan, ruler of Herat, to be
seized, murdered, and quartered, and the four portions
of his body to be suspended over the gates, and issued
a proclamation warning the inhabitants that the same
punishment would be awarded to all who refused to sub
mit to the Persian authority.

" After the death of EitKhan two spies of Shazsdah
Mahoined Yusuf, professedly friends of Esa Khan, mur-
dered hi-; two sons. More Persian troops are daily ar-
riving at Herat.
The Persian troops at Furah (?) seized the governor
of that city, and sent him to Herat, whence he has been
forwarded to Persia, One hundred thoustptid Persians
are said to be in and about Herat.
" Mahomed Hnssum Khan, a Vakeel seat by the
Shah, having returned with letters from Dost Mahomed,
ambassador, another, Dadur Khan, a man of great im-
portance, has arrived at Kandahar, accompanied by 500
horsemen. On presenting his despatches Dost Ma-
homed became greatly troubled, and immediately had a
private interview with the emissary, who is said to have
warned the Dost that it would be prudent for him to
submit to the wishes of the Shah, as he, the Dost, could
never hope to be his equal, and that be never could bring
forces equal to those of the Shah. A few days after-
wards the Shah's emissary was despatched with unusual
marks of respect from the Dost.
"The Dost is in great distress for money, and the
troops being unpaid are almost in a state of mutiny at
Kandahar. Famine prices are paid for food.
" Such is the distress, that 900 picked horsemen have
been appointed to keep watch to prevent the troops de-
serting to the Persians at Herat.
"The Khyberees committed some outrages on Futteh
Khan, who went to Peshawur as Vakeel from Dost Ma-
homed to the British government.

' Cottons were dull, with large stocks on hand ;

effected.

"Dost Mahomed was in consequence very angry, and
had ordered the stoppage of the pay of his Sirdars, &e.,
but he has now recalled the order and directed arreara to
be made good.
"Goolam Hydur Khan, eldest son of the Dost, is on
his way to Cabul from Kandahar. Sbadoolla Khan,
nephew of Dost Mahomed, having quarrelled with his
uncle, has fled to Herat, and his example is about to be
followed by Sumshooden Khan, another nephew of Dost
Mahomed. Treacheiy is also at work amongst the
eh iefs."

• The weather has been fine during the fortnight,
with occa.ional showers, just the sort of weather that
gladdens the heart of the planter at this season of
the year. The estates are now busily occupied in
gathering in and manufacturing the sugar crop.
The yield is far better than was anticipated in the
early part of this year, and we have heard of some
new fields producing as much as three hogsheads
per acre. The average, however, is very much be-
low that quantity.
" The exports during the past fortnight consisted
of sugar, 1,850 hhds.,!lol trm., 730 brls., 500 bags,
and 47 hhd. foreign ; rum, 1,106 puncheons, 68
hhd., 37 brls, and 22 puncheons foreign ; molasses,
969 puncheons, 6 brls.; timber, 483 logs ; 13,750
cocoanuts ; and 43 pieces of letterwood.
" The harbour is crowded with shipping, and
there are lying here, waiting for cargoes, no less
than 60 vessels, with an aggregate tonnage of
17,765 tons. Freights are consequently exceed-
ingly low, ranging from ls. to Is. 3d. for sugar."
In Trinidad the weather had again set in wet.
Some of the planters had engaged to deliver their
coming crops of sugar at $4 per 1001 b. The mar-
ket was heavily stocked with general imports from
the 'United States.
The West India colonial journals are entirely
barren of news.
The yellow fever has committed many ravages
at Martinique.
In Grenada the crops promised better results
than were at one time anticipated. The stores
of the merchants were well stocked with pro-
visions.

"Cabal, Sept. 14. - -
" There is a great famine in Herat--wheatis selling
at two seers per rupee, and it is even difficult to procure
it at this rate. Persian troops are daily pouring in from
Ilusheed, and one body of 19,000 men under a chief,
pained Kaheen, has advanced to a place named Furra,
where he is encamped.
" Post Mahomed was about to leave Kandahar for
Cabal, when he received intelligence that a large sum of
money, eight lakhs of rupees, had been despatched to
him by the British Government, which induced him to
change his mind and resolve to stay at Kandahar to pay
up his troops and tranquillise the people. Dost Mahomet
having quarrelled with his brothers, Sirdar Sooltan
Mahomed Khan and Sirdar Peer Mahomed Khan, he
ordered them to leave Candahar and proceed to Cabul,
and news has reached this place that they are about to
arrive—many of their followers have come on the 9th
inst. They were ordered away from Cabal in conse-
quence of intriguing to prevent a good understanding
between Dost Mahomed and the Kandaharees. It is
said that, since their departure, affairs have progressed

—Lahore Chronicle, Sept. 24.

Cabul, Sept. 20.
The news from Herat, as stated by one party partial to
the Kaj ars, continues to confirm the intelligence of its
fall published in your paper of the .17th of June last, and
by another hostile to them keeps ilerat still besieged.
Until despatches, addressed to 00 Ameer, do come
from Herat, for the information of tht: governor here,
no decisive credence can be placed on what is so un-
settled at present. We expect news from thi.t quarter
direct in a short time.
Two messengers from Candahar have come to Ca. '11),
and report the arrival of another Persian agent at th,e
court of the Ameer, who openly told him in reply to
his demand that he will neither give up Candahar to
the late chiefs, Sirdar Rahmdil Khan, &c., nor go back
to Cabul.
We learn from the same source that Shahzahad Maho-
med Yusuf bas advanced from Herat in the direction of
Frab with a large body of the Persian troops which has
compelled Nusroollah Khan to disappear.
The Governor of Musbid is pouring in supplies of all
sorts to the Persian camp. Several detachments, under
the command of the various Persian chiefs, as Raza
Koolee Khan, and Mahomed Hoosain Khan, &e., have
moved to reinforce the Persians in the direction of Moi
manah, Seestar, and Frab.
The news has also come, via Kandahar, that there
were rumours in the Persian camp at Herat that the
Shah had ordered an army of 50,000 men to be
stationed at the Bunder-Abooshur (Persian Gulf), and
the force of Bunduri Aabbas has been withdrawn to the
capital. • '
The ex-Chiefs ofPesbawur are suspected by the Ameer
to be the cause of dissension between him and the ex-
Chiefs of Candahar, and will therefore be directed to re-
turn to Cabul.
Five Russian officers have arrived in the Court of the
Shah, and are soon expected before Herat.
The Ameer.has received communications from Pesha-
wur that the British Government is going to send an
expedition to the Persian Gulf, and to occupy the Isle of
Karrack, and that they have received intimation from
the home au,horities to lend pecuniary aid to theAmeer.
This has caused bis Highness great joy.
