THE BOMBAY: MAIL.

We have received, by Extraordinary Express,
our files of Bombay papers and correspondence,
with dates to the sth ult. The following summary
of news since our last despatches is from the
Bombay Standard of the above date :
Again the news transmitted by last mail J.:om
Europe to India, in the battle of Solferino, far ex-
ceeds in interest anything that we can send to
Europe. We ought not, indeed, to have any very
thrilling accounts to send home, for we have had
our Thanksgiving Day for the return of peace.
Some noticeable events, however, have occurred in
Oude.

The ex-King has been released from his long con-
finement in Fort William. His Queen, who has
continued to reside at the house near Calcutta occu-
pied by the King to the time of his arrest, sent a
petition to Lord Canning, praying for his release,
and suggesting that no more fitting occasion for it
could be chosen than the issue of the proclamation on
the restoration of peace. Lord Canning, whether
with reference to the petition or not, addressed a let-
ter to the King, informing him that he could leave
Fort William when he pleased. He did so on the 9th
ult. A number of state prisoners were released with
him, including the late vizier of Oude, Nawab Ali
Nukky Khan, and Tikoot Rae, formerly in the ser-
.viee of the, Queen. The, kink 14141efta favourable im-
pression upon those who have come in contact with
him during his imprisonment. It seems he has been
fleeced by people who have pretended they could ob-
tain his release, and Government has urged him not
to fulfil any outstanding promise of further bribes.

His Majesty has at length consented to receive the
pension granted by the Indian Government pend-
ing the reference of his case to England. Thirty-six
thousand rupees have been paid on account. " A
bird in the hand," &c. The King's name is still
nude use of for seditious purposes. The Lahore
Chronicle says :—" Our active deputy commissioner
has been providing certain Mahomedans, suspected
of disloyal proceedings, with comfortable quarters
in the Havalat. One or more seditious placards
were found attached to certain buildings, and it is
believed that they were put up by emissaries sent
by the ox-King of Oude. At all events the name
of Wajid Ally has been used, whether with or
without hiE knowledge remains to be seen."
Bala Rub is confidently reported to be dead. The
Lucknow _Herald remarks :—" Thus the second

great rebel is gone. Tantia Topee was the first—
the greatest of the three; the Nana only remains.

Perhaps he, too, will mako his exit similarly to

Bala Rao, for we really despair of his ever falling
into our hands." On the other hand, the Delhi
Gazelle of the 19th ult. states that he is not dead,

but recovering. He is said to be in the Dandoka
Valley, Nepaul.
The Rajah of Boundee, also, who was reported in
our last summary to be dead, itis now said has sur-
vived the Terai fever, and surrendered, with his

family, to the chief commissioner.
An important arresthas been made in the person of
Rajah Joyloll Singh, of Mow, near Fyzabad. He is
said to have invited the Nana to come and take
Fyzabad, as the British troops were being withdrawn
to Europe on account of the war. It is doubt-
ful whether he will be tried by Mr. Bradford,

the deputy commissioner, or be sent to Luck-
now. His father, the late Rajah Dursun Koorme,
a chukladar in the time of the ex-King of Oude
was much respected. One Utcheh Sahib, the son
of some effete nawab, has been apprehended at
Lucknow as having been concerned in the murder
of a clerk during the mutiny. The Rajah of
Churda and one Mahomed Bawkur, brother of
Nisahut Mehal, have decamped, fearing the evi-
dence brought to light by the investigations of
Major Bruce.
It is reported that the Supreme Government has
under consideration whether Lucknow should not
be made the seat of government for the north-west
provinces.
The Dandoka Valley is said to be rich in rebels

—the Nana, Bala Rao (or his ghost), Daby Bus,
and Mummoo Khan, being scattered along it with
some 8,000 men. They have all been sick—but,
alack ! not unto death. Khan Bahadoor Khan, also,
is slowly recovering from his jungle fever, but is in
miserable plight, a servant having, it is said, made
off with the old man's money. The Begum is at
Naycote, looked after by the Nepaulese, not a pri-
soner, but under restraint. She is in comfortable
circumstances as to money. At the foot of the hills
and in the Terai there are three bodies or men,
about 1,000 in all, under Bullee, Bulkeree, Sing,
and Narbullee Sing.
A durbar was held on June 30, to present re-
wards to certain chiefs of the Peshawur district,
in remembrance of their services in 1857-58. Major
James, the commissioner, delivered a fluent and
animated speech in Pushtu, with marked effect.
In the vicinity of Subbulghur, in Scindia's terri-
tories, a body of rebels (about 200 foot and
30 sowars), headea by five noted leaders, set to
work plundering travellers on the highway.
Being pressed by Scindia's troops they made for
Bhilsay, the rajah of which place roused the vil-
lagers, who were joined by two companies of
Scindia's troops, and a sin:, rt encounter ensued.
The rebels lost a great number, the five leaders
being among the killed. The remnant fled towards
Ojein. Scindia's loss was trifling.
A fine of three lacs, it is reported, has been laid
Cawnpore—no very great sum.

A sutttee has taken place at Koonghur, near
Hansi. The villagers resisted the widow's desire
to burn, but her curse availed to turn them, and
they eventually made the pile, and the poor crea-
ture perished. Those most actively engaged have
been imprisoned for ten years, 19 others for five
years, and another for two years, and a fine of
500 rupees has been laid on the village. The
thanodar and the whole of the police have been
dismissed by order of the lieutenant governor, for
not having found out and prevented the horrid
crime, Koonghur is not likely to indulge in
another suttee in a hurry.
A cyclone visited Calcutta on the 26th ultimo,
and played sad havoc among the telegraphic lines.
On the Barrackpore road the strongest lines were
swept away for miles. Two steamers, besides
many sailing vessels, were wrecked in the Hooghly,
involving loss of life, and immense destruction of
property.
It is said to be the intention of Government to
take the mlnagement of all the guaranteed rail-
ways.

A disturbance has taken place at Bbagulpore,
which might have been serious. A Mahomedan female
being about to kill a cow a deputation of Hindoos
begged her to accept an equivalent in goats. She
agreed for four fat ones, which were forwarded—at
least three were, and the price of the fourth. As
the Hindoos were returning with the cow the brother
of the lady pounced upon them, said his sister had
no right to part with the beast, and finally, with
assistance, carried it off. The magistrate hearing
of it, or rather of the ill-feeling that was brewing,
had the ringleaders before him. The young man
appealed to the Queen's proclamation anent univer-
sal toleration, and was greatly disgusted at being
told by the magistrate that it was not a question of
toleration, but one of keeping the peace, and that
he must be bound in 1,000 rupees to that end. He
became so excited that the magistrate raised the sum
to 10,000 rupees, which made him more furious
than ever, but eventually the bond was executed,
the cow restored to the Hindoos, who presented her
to the goverutnent, and so the matter ended. "To
a casual attendant at court the deadly hatred de-
picted in almost every Mussulman's countenance,
would have been subjects of thought and warning
during many after years." This place will soon, it
is thought by the commencement of the rains next
year, be on a line of rail.
Grain riots have occurred at Quilon and Cochin.

At the former place, on the 25th and 26th June,
same men of the 45th Native Infantry attacked a
number of shops in the bazaar, and plundered to the
amount, it is said, of 7,000 to 8,000 rupees. At
Cochin the riot was precisely similar, but the loss
sustained by the dealers is put at only 500 rupees.

The ex-Nawab of Furruckabad has reached Tanna
under an escort of the 3d Native Infantry.
A letter from Nuggur Parkur, quoted by the
Scinclian, states that a squadron of the Scind horse
had been sent for, and the Deesa force had arrived.
The Rana and his confederates were busy raising
men across the frontier, and when joined by his
brother Blioput Sing, as well as by Luckdeerjee of
Beyrana, it was expected he would have a very re-
spectable force at his command. It is a question,
however, whether they .vill venture on another
attack. It is strongly suspected that the rebels
have spies, and on occasion of the recent mettle
there can be no doubt that, finding our precau-
tionary measures singularly slack, they made a
fierce onslaught, with the intention of putting to
the sword every sahib they could come across.
A rebel Kolie, taken red-handed in the revolt,
was executed on the morning of the 4th ult.

The military exodus goes on swimmingly, or
rather preparations for it. The _Englishman says
that about 5,000 may be expected to go from
Bengal alone. It never was thought Viat the
movement would be so serious. Had Govern-
ment only given the men the option of discharge
or re-enlistment with bounty, we should not have
been in our present dilemma. A general order
has been issued by Lord Clyde almost begging
the men not to avail themselves of the Governor-
General's offer ! It comes too late. Here and
there a handful repent, and withdraw their claim,
but the total of them will be very insignificant.
Advertisements are out for the passage home of
2,305 soldiers from Bombay, Goa, and Kurrachee
alone—" effective European troops." It is melan-
choly. Thirteen of the Berhampore mutineers are
to be tried by court martial.
Government Securities remain almost unchanged.
A large amount of paper has changed hands, but
there is abundance still for sale, so that no tendency
to rise is perceptible. Fives are 87 ; Fours, 751
per cent.

Freights are no better, nor likely to be at present,
the harbour being crowded. Lor London, still 12s.
6d. to 155., and for Liverpool 15s. to 17s. 6d. per
ton. China (less doing) Rs. 4to 4-12 per candy.
Exchange.—Tendency rather downward until a
day or two ago. First class paper was done at 2s.
Old. in the absence of China bills. Yesterday the
market rose again, and we quote from 2s. ON. to
2s. Old. for first class, and 2s. OLd- to 2s. ld. for
document papers.
