INDIA AND CHINA.

We have received, by extraordinary express, in
anticipation of the Overland Mail, our letters and
papers from Calcutta to June 3 ; and Hong Kong
to May 21.
The following is from the Bengal Hurkaru of
June 3 :

Since the publication of our last summary we
have heard that a mutinous spirit exhibited itself
amongst the ex-Company's European troops at
Gwalior on the 10th, and at Lahore on the 11th of
May. A correspondent of a morning contemporary
states that at the former station, when the bugle
sounded for parade only 10 non-commissioned officers
turned out ; and letters in other journals confirm
the statement. Major Light, however, who com-
mands the Bengal Artillery at Gwalior, denies
the truth of the report. He reports that the
men never 'disobeyed an order, nor refused to
parade—admitting, however, that some of the men
had petitioned " against what they considered an
infringement of their rights as British subjects."
At Lahore, a few men of the Horse Artillery re-
fused to return out to parade. This led to a Court
of Enquiry, from which it appeared that of Colonel
Bourchier's troop 32 men were satisfied, and 39
considered they were entitled either to their dis-
charge, or to a fresh bounty ; of Blunt's troop, 44
were staunch, the remainder, all of whom are re-
cruits, were malcontents. With the exception of
two men, lately transferred to the regiment, the
Foot Artillery were willing to serve the Queen.
At Meerut and Allahabad, the Courts of Enquiry
are still sitting. At the latter station the Cavalry
were examined through delegates, four from each
troop, hut an order arrived from the Commander-
in-Chief, directing that every man should be heard.
The men of one troop had no complaints to make. The
objection raised by the Artillery are that, although
willing to serve the Queen, they had been transferred
without being consulted, and that their right to re-
enlistment had been ignored. The cavalry claimed
their discharge as a right, and looked upon them-
selves since the termination of the Company's
regime as " civilians in arms." Some of the men
said they might accept a fresh bounty, while others
declared they would not serve again. Another
complaint is the unequal treatment of the Queen's
and Company's troops with regard to batta. In
Lower Bengal the latter receives only half batta,
whilst the former get the full amount.
At Delhi there have been no signs of insubordi-
nation. In the early part of May several days were
occupied in rural sports, and the best spirit mani-
festly prevailed.
From a letter in a Bombay contemporary, it ap-
pears that dissatisfaction exists amongst the Com-
pany's troops in that Presidency, but they have not
resorted to such extreme measures as the Bengal
Artillery. At Sepree, two companies of the 3d
European Regiment have drawn up a petition to
the. Houses of Parliament, setting forth their
grievances.
The rebel force is gradually diminishing. On the
12th of May, a " party from Major Vaughan's force,
with some of the military police, attacked a body
of the rebels, 400 strong, and defeated them at
Rajpore." On the 18th " Rajah Jodh Singh, of
Churda, with 100 followers, surrendered to Major
Vaughan at Sedonia Ghat ;" and on the same day
three other parties gave themselves up. Seon Bun
Khan, with 150 men ; Abdool Wallee, with 150
followers, and, at Bhinja, 35 rebels, with horses and
one elephant. On the 23d Sir Hope Grant, with
the 7th Punjaub Infantry, attacked the rebel force,
which, under the Nana and Bala Rao, were strongly
posted in the Idowah Pass, with two guns in posi-
tion. " The heights on both sides were crowned,
and the enemy driven from their guns, which were
taken with trifling loss. A number of the enemy was
killed." Thus far from official information. From
other sources, we learn that since the rebels have
return ad to their old quarters in the SoonarValley 800
deaths have occurred from disease and the climate.
Bukht Khan, the famous commander-in-chief at
Delhi, who formerly belonged to the Bareilly
Battery at Bareilly, was killed the other day in a
scrimmage.

Tufussul Husein, the ex-Nawab of Furruckabad,
is now on his way to Calcutta. He is in irons, and
strongly guarded.
The Governor General regards both the opinions
and the feelings of the public with the utmost in-
difference. To the many instances of this that have
been manifest during the past three years, we have
now to record another act—the disbanding of the
Calcutta Volunteer Guards. From the Ist inst. their
services were dispensed with.
