OVER LAND MAIL

INDIA AND CHINA.

The Indian Mail to the Tith of August has arrived,
bringing letters and papers from Bombay to that date.
The intelligence which they communicate, though
not of a striking character, is of considerable interest.
From Calcutta it relates principally to the new and
late Governors-Geheral.

Sir Henry Hardinge arrived there at eight o'clock
in the evening of the 23d of July, and was imme-
diately sworn into his high office. His first act was
to continue Mr. Bird as Governor of Bengal. On
the next and subsequent days he held levees and
durbars, and has thus far gained golden opinions
from all parties, although there are some who appear
to doubt his future pi oceedings, as being nearly
Connected with Lord Ellenhorough. The most ex-
traordinary criticisms continue to be made on that
Noble Lord and his acts, which have been charac-
terised as the result of his caprices, although to
any one who will take the trouble of examin-
ing the dates, &c., it will soon become evi-
dent that the acts most condemned were all under-
taken and carried into execution with the privity and
sanction of at least some members of the British
Government, although the Directors of the East
India Company may have been supposed to have
been left in ignorance. Hence also the rumour got
lop by a certain party in Bombay, though against all
Probability, that Sinde and the Indus were once
again to be placed under the odious yoke of the
Ameers.

Prior to his departure, Lord Ellenborough was
entertained publicly by the officers of the army at
Calcutta, and
he then declared that his chief regret
on quitting India arose from his separation from the
military service, which he highly prized. He em-
barked on the Ist of August on board the steamer
Tenasserim, and immediately started for Suez.
Every effort was making to stop the subscription got
up to have a testimonial erected to him.
The rainy season in the north-west provinces pre-
vented all military movements. It was stated at Agra
that Sir H. Hardinge was about to undertake a jour-
ney to Allahabad, whither the Lieutenant-Governor
of the north-western provinces was about to proceed,
in order to meet him. It appears probable that the
new Governor-General will not content himself until
he shall have visited the principal military stations
in those provinces. As he is freed from the minor
regulations of the government of any of the presi-
clencieE, it is highly probable he will carefully examine
the details of the army.
The popularity of Sir Henry Harding° with the
military is likely to be increased, as it had been ru-
moured in India, and as it was said on good autho-
rity that he was empowered to raise new regiments,
to add one captain to each of the actual corps, and
to re-introduce the punishment of flogging into the
native army. This last measure appears to be con-
sidered imperative by the generality of the officers,
especially since the occurrence of the several mutinies
which have latterly disgraced the troops of Madras
and Bengal.

The mutiny of the 64th Regiment of Bengal In-
fantry, which had been repressed by the decided
measures of General Hunter, had produced the most
stringent proceedings on the part of Sir Charles
Napier, the Governor of Sinde. The colours were
taken from the regiment, and the trial of the forty
ringleaders of the mutiny was going on with the
greatest care ; it had commenced on the 22d of July,
at Sukkur, and a strong example would, it was
expected, be made of those who should be proved
guilty.

It will tend to show how little credit is due to
clamour when it is known that in consequence of the
introduction of proper arrangements, and the erection
of suitable buildings, there is not near the former
quantity of sickness in Sinde this season. It is true
that the worst period is generally considered to be
after the subsiding of the Indus in the last months of
the year. The 86th Regiment and two companies of
Artillery had lost several men.
A small expedition sent to attack a fort called
Burshoree, thirty-six miles north-west of Khanghur,
had been obliged by the great heat to retreat back to
Khanghur. Sheer Mahommed was still at large in
the mountainous districts, but he was not able to
collect forces sufficient to do injury.
The news from the Punjaub represents that country
as a prey to anarchy and confusion, and the lowest
intrigues of assassination and plunder by the chiefs.
Heera Singh does not appear to be fixed in his
power, and expectation was afloat of the great com-
motions agitating the Shiekhs in the month ofOctober
next, at the time of the great Hindoo festival of the
Dusserrah, when all the native States are in the
practice of making war against their enemies. The
British Indian Government is the chief object of the
Shiekha' hatred ; and if credit can be given to
the rumours current on their frontiers, that
spirit of hatred is fomented by intrigues that take their origin from Persia and Russia. Dost
Mahommed, and his infamously notorious son,
Akbar Khan, have formed alliances (the latter a
matrimonial one) with Yar Mahommed, the usurper of
the sovereignty of Herat, while they are also making
arrangements with Heera Singh for aiding the Shiekhs
in case of a conflict with the British, with a large
army, in the hope of conquering and plundering the
north of India. These intrigues are well known, and
cannot fail to influence the future policy of Sir Henry
Hardinge ; for however pledged he may be to avoid a
dispute with the Sheiks, circumstances more powerful
than his promises are likely to force him into a war.
It is therefore highly probable that Sir Henry Hardinge, like all
prudent men, will not wait for an
invasion of the British territory, in order to make
effective preparations for the approaching emergency.
The rulers of Caubul, Candahar, and Herat, are
known before
described as acting with more unanimity than ever
the di , and Heera Singh, notwithstanding
fficulties of his with, and Government, is eager to side

In Gwalior there were some intrigues respecting
the command
mutinied of the Jhinsee troops, who had
against their chief, Bulevunt Rao, on
account of his great oppressions. It was said that
an uncle of the young Maharajah would obtain the
command.
Btu-1(1101mnd was tranquil, and great praise was
bestowed on the police battalions, and especially on
the portion of them under the orders of Major Ferris,
fordistur their activity and energy in putting down the
that disturbances and arresting the numerous Dacoits
used to infest those districts, before the measures
introduced by Lord Ellenborough led to those favour-
able results.

The succession to the throne of Holkar, at Indore,
has been settled by the elevation to it of a son of
13how nolkar who had married a daughter of Mur-
ree Rao Holkar. The young Maharajah has assumed
the name of Tookajee Holkar, and promises well.
