INDIA.

We have received out correspondence and files of
newspapers from India and China. The dates are
indicated.

(From the Bombay Times, Feb. 2.)
SUMMARY' . —Since last mail a new 5 per cent.
loan has been opened, likely soon to be followed by
another at a. still_ higher rate of interest. This is
ascritied to the war with Per s'.a—a wild chimera
.with which India has no concern, over which she
has no control, and the charges of which shOuld
have fallen on the Royal treasury.
We gave in our last the particulars of the arrange-
ments for the increase of the strength and extension
of the operations of the Per sian Gulf expedition up
to the departure of. General Outran. and his staff:
It may be remembered that the force origi-
nally despatched in the middle of -November con-
sistedof about 6,000 fighting men, including- 2;500
Europeans under Gen. Stalker, conveyed by. 40
transports, with 13 steamers and other vessels of
war, under command of Admiral Sir H. *Leeke..
In our issue of Jan. 2 we gave details of the opera-
tions of the forge by land and sea up to Christmas,-
including the capthre of Bushire and the adventure's
which preceded it. The events in thenaselvei.are
now asserted to have been of sinvlarly trivia im-
portance in comparison with the inflated accounts
which were given of them, the marine portion of the
despatches presenting,a series of inaccuraciesbelleved
to be unprecedented in 'English official :documents-.
We-are not as-yet in apOsition.- to give det Ails ,s 0
min.utely.andin puck •authentio,lorm as irektOat,
desire ; bu*.aeiror to the -nearly n nlvers al "tes ti-
molly of eye-witnesses, the authority of the official
papers should be for the present declined. Public
opinion has been so strongly expressed here on the
subject that the immediate appearance of the entire
correspondence, official and delni-official, seems indis-
pensable. On the appointment of Gen. Outran), it
iminediatelybecame known that an atm of five times
the magnitude of that first despatched was intended
for the invasion of the country, of which 20,000
were to be sent from India and 3,000 or 4,000 from
England overland. Gen. Outram's staff left on the
17th in the Semiramis, touching at Kurrachee on
the 19th, and leaving the next morning with the
Nitocris, Indus flotilla flat, the river being now'
nearly swept of its steamers for service in the Gulf.
The gallant. general is understood to proceed to
Bussorah, the chief source of our supplies, and will
in all likelihood establish head-quarters with a
base of operations in the neighbourhood. From
Bushire an advance into the interior is obstructed
by a rugged and difficult range of mountains
running right across our path. From Bussorah
a tolerably even line of march stretches from
nearly the mouth of the Euphrates by Shurtra
right into the centre of Persia. Since the
departure of the general the 14th Light Dra-
goens and 78th Highlanders have left Boml,ay.
A battalion 1000 strong, consisting of the light
and left flank companies of ten of our native
regiments, is preparing for embarkation, to be
commanded by Lieutenant-Col. Le • Gran Jacob,
oiie of the ablest officers in the presidency. The
Scinde Horse are on their way—the southern Mah-
ratta Hocse, under Col. Malcohn, who so distin-
guished himself at Goozerat in 1849, when in com-
mand of a portion of the Scinde Horse, were on
their way to the presidency fur despatch, when they
were for the present countermanded. The 26th Na-
tive Infantry sailed on the 19th Jan., and a por-
tion of the 23d Native Infantry and the light bat-
talion are on the pcint of embarkation ; the whole
of the infantry from Neemuch and Nusseerabad
and Rajpootna, consisting of the 87th, 10th, 21st,
are under orders for the presidency, their places to
be supplied from Bengal; and these are nearly all
Bombay can supply. It is just two years since the
Governor-General declinedsendingreinforcements to
the Crimea, on the ground that not a single European
could be spared from India with safety. Of the
eight European regiments Bombay possesses four
have already been despatched, together with three
corps of our finest irregular horse ; and we are thus
denuded of the bodies of men on whom we chiefly
depend for safety, and who for a twelvemonth to
come will be as much beyond our reach as if in
Europe. Our latest dates from the Gulf extend to
the 17th ult., up to which our men were resting on
their arm.. The soldiers, though complaining of
considerable discomfort from the extremes of cold
and heat, were on the whole in the enjoyment of
good health. The 2d Europeans, who were suffering
trom severe sickness on leaving Scinde, form an un-
happy exception, neatly half of their number being
in hospital. Supplies were becoming more plentiful
than at first, or than we had any reason to expect.
Bussorah formed the principal source, abundance
being sent into camp down the Euphrates from
Turkish Arabia. The Persians themselves were
more serviceable in this way than could have been
conceived, and were bringing in forage, grain, beet,
carrot, and other vegetables, of a quality that
might do honour to the Bombay market. Ponies
and baggage cattle of all kinds are at present being
collected in the presidency, the want of carriage
forming the great difficulty of a foray into
the interior. It does not appear, from the ad-
vanced state of the season, by what means a move-
ment on any considerable scale can be made be-
fore the hot season sets in, and the heat of the sea-
board of Persia is something very fearful. We fail
altogether to perceive—should Russia be the
enemy wo are advancing against—how our posi-
tion is improved by our having our stores 400
miles in our rear, and a wild mountain range cut-
ting off the advancing force from its base of ope-
rations. With a battle-field of her own choosing, rest-

ing on her supplies, our adversary may select any
course of tactics she deems best. She may either re-
tire within her own frontier and wait till we are
weakened by the climate, or become prepared to
withdraw from sheer weariness, or throw on us
masses so overwhelming in magnitude that no
courage or discipline could resist them. A finer
army for its size, or one more ably officered than
that which General Outran(' commands, pro-
bably never took the field. But what is 20,000 or
30,000 men where one-half must be left behind to
protect an advance or cover a reverse, and where,
on the lowest computation for casualties, 8,000
could never reach the ultimate point of conflict, as-
suming that to be the north of Teheran ? We take
no account of the resistance of the Persians—
wretched cowards, who will never let us get within
musket shot of them, and who, if au fall, must be
brought down by a; well-laid gun. Mr. Murray,
the head and front of our offending, has reached
camp, and taken up his quarters at the Residency ;
his occupation is gone. Tranquillity prevails
throughout India, the country is prosperous,
and the people contented and happy. In contrast
to the Persian expedition is a field force still
more numerous engaged in our neighbourhood
in protecting, us against all our enemies, through
instrumentalities far mere efficient than those
of sword or gun. Under Mr. Faviell and
Mr. Bray, contractors for two portions of the Great
Peninsular Railway, 40,000 natives at present find
work preparing the commencement of a line which
before 10 years are out will connect the Bay of
Bengal at two points with the Arabian sea. The
administration of these geutlemea is perfect, as is
the example they set in everythin that is praise-
worthy and excellent to those around them. The
people are earning in money, well and punctually
paid, four times the income they ever did before,
and the ends of civilisation advanced by the grand
civiliser, industry, under the stimulant of gain.
We noticed in our last a singular decision that
had been given in the case of a portion of the earth-
works of the lake about to be created in the Vehar
valley for the supply of Bombay with water. The
valley is to be ponded up by three embankments,
the largest of which is 90 feet in height and some
400 in breadth at base, the other two being some
20 and 30 feet in height respectively. It was first
expected that these would be chiefly constructed
through local instrumentality, Mr. Conybeare, the
engineer who designed the work, having pointed
out that much larger dams had been formed by the
native princes in the north-west provinces. Having
gone home on deputation to hasten arrangements,
an English contractor of great respectability was
arranged with, but as a twelvemonth bad been

Since our last-we have had several deaths 'amen

ral, died. on the 'nth ult., afterA term of 33.yeara'

ment. He was a mill of great worth and upright-
ness, of excellent talent=, and a measure t,f; classical

There has been ciris:clerablediscussion•of late on

in office beyond the customary quinquennial peried

not at all times be able tj secure the services of the
very elite of the Royal navy. Sir Henry has
sista, without intending it, in exposing the rotten-
ness of our patronage system ; bringing with him a
son, soft and perfectly harmless, but who, with-
out a fortune, had never thought of a profession
for himself—his father's influenza was sufficient to
secure for him a series of valuable appointments to

conclusion that we care nothing for the c'enutry

supporting themselves.
