THE OVERLAND MAILS.—The overland India and
China mails that arrived last night at London-bridge at
10 o'clock have been on their passage from Malta ever

heavy weather from Malta to Marseilles, for she arrived
at the latter port in time only for the mails to be des-
patched to Paris by the Saturday morning 10 o'clock
train. From Paris the mails were forwarded by the
daily express train, arriving at 4 p.m. The mail-packet
Ondine was sent over to Calais from Dover yesterday in
anticipation, and brought Capt. Lowe, with despatches
from Lord Canning and the 51 boxes from the roads,
and lauded them at Dover in a dense fog, whence they
came up to London by the regular passenger train leav-
ing Dover at 7.30 p.m. No effort has been made to
expedite the transmission of these mails from Paris on
this occasion, on account of the Sunday regulations at
the Post-office, or they might easily have been in London
by 3 p.m. yesterday via Boulogne, Or 4 p.m. via Calais.

man who seemed to -be a foreigner, called with a female,
who it was supposed was his wife, and asked for a
lodging for a short pea:A. They engaged a bed and
remained there till Sunday, when as they were both
about to leave, Mr. Harper stopped them and repre-
sented that he should require some money for the
expenses they bad incurred. They retureed to their
room and the landlord hearing nothing of them the
whole day became alarmed, and the police having been
sent for the door was forced open when both parties
were discovered quite dead. From the appearance of
the room it is supposed the man first cut the woman's
throat, and then terminated his own existence by the
same means.
