INDIA.

By the arrival of the Bombay Mail we have
received files of papers from Bombay to the 26th
November, and from Caleattato the I.7th November.
We take the following from the Bombay Gazette
of the 26th November :
" The condition of India question will, we fear,
continue to demand for some time to come the
anxious attention of the English people, and will
require for its final solution some more energetic
interpreter than the ablest Minister of Finance.
The mutual feelings of suspicion and. dislike
which the mutiny first developed between black
and white still subsist in their full force,—
the European army is discontented, and part of it
mutinous, the native troops are not to be trusted,
and the whole population is bitterly dissatisfied
with the Government that has imposed the Income-
tax.

" By the extra mail of last week we announced
that a soldier of the sth Bengal Europeans had been
shot, and the regiment itself disbanded. Sir Hugh
Rose's general orders, confirming this news, have
now been received. They present a melancholy pic-
ture of the state of indiscipline to which the sth had
been reduced, and the utter helplessness of the officers
to restore a healthy tone to the regiment. The de-
termination of the Commander-in-Chief to disperse
the mutineers through the remaining regiments of
the local army has caused much discussion and some
apprehension. It appears most imprudent to give
these men the opportunity of committing fresh mis-
chief on a much more widely-extended scale ; and
it is by no means so clear that other local regiments
are already so free from all taint of disaffection as
to be exposed with impunity to the dangers of com-
panionship with irreclaimable mutineers.
"The popular dissatisfaction with the Income-tax
remains as great as before. Foiled, since the sub-
stitution of simpler forms, in the attempt to excuse
their resistance by declaring they could not compre-
hend the complicated forms first issued, the malcon-
tents now seem disposed to refuse the payment of
the tax altogether. Many of the wealthier natives
condemn this
disloyalty, and do their best to dis-
courage it by loyally sending in returns of their
incomes. But the bulk of the small merchants and
shopkeepers continue obstinate to all warning. At
Poona there has been a great ileinonstration of a
rather ludicrous character, several thousands of
natives assembling in front,
of the Collector's office,
and tearing up the Income-tax forms publicly.
Strange to say, the Government
takes no notice of

one inter-
end to the agitation in a moment, but no
fered. The Bombay people have taken conraoe at
this ; and they yesterday went down, to the number
of at least 2,000, to the Apollo Pier to receive
the
Governor (who was expected to arrive hare Yester-
day from Vingorla), and to remonstrate with hi,
against the tax. Again, none of the police were pre-
sent. Fortunately, the Governor did not come, and
after waiting two hours in vain the disappointed
crowd peaceably dispersed. But unless the Govern-
ment act vigorously things won't end here ; indeed
it wants little now to entirely stop the collection 0
the tax.

The Calcutta papers do not contain any news of
interest.

At Calais, within the last few days, great quan-
tities of turkeys and geese have arrived to be despatched to
England for Christmas, and two vessels have entered the
part expressly to convey poultry to the other side of the
Channel.

The Prince Regent of Prussia has conferred the
Cross of the Order of the House of Hohenzollern on Dr.
Simons, the Minister of Justice, as an acknowledgment of
the services rendered for so many years by the late
;Violater.
