INDIA AND CHI?

(From the Times.)

We have received our dispatches by the overland
mail, via Marseilles. The following summary of
our correspondent at Bombay contains some interest-
ing additions to the telegraphic summary received
by way of Trieste, which appeared in yesterday's
paper :

" BOMBAY, SEPT. 17.—The petty civil war in the
Nizlna's territories still continues without decisive
advantage on either side. The Nawab of Elichpoor,
iu following up the late victory of Borlee in too
unguarded a manner, has received a check from
the Nizina's forces, and retired on Unjungaum. The
Nizam has restored his suspended Minister Ram
Muth to favour, hut it is not supposed that he will
long retain his office. Another of the usual imeutes
has occurred in the city of Hyderabad. It arose in
an attempt made by 150 unpaid soldiers to carry off
a field-piece in part satisfaction for their arrears of
pay. 400 Arabs were sent after them, who, after a
fight, in which 17 or 18 were killed, succeeded in re-
capturing the gun.
" Oude is still in an unsettled state, and it is re-
ported that the present Resident Colonel, Sleeman, is
to be relieved by Mr. Torrens, formerly Secretary to
Government, and now political agent at Moorshe-
dabad.

" The present aspect of the Punjaub is most en-
couraging ; the population (now disarmed) have set-
tled down into their former habits of industry. The
breadth of Lind taken into cultivation this season is
said to be unprecedented, and the crops are every-
where most promising.

" It is rumoured that Sir H. Lawrence had been
imprisoned by ~soma independent Raja on his way
back from Cashmere, but the report is not ge-
nerally believed. Lard Dalhousie is still at Kuna-
war, but he is to be at Umbella by the middle
of October, whence he proceeds on a tour through
the Punjaub to Pesbawur. Sir Charles Napier leaves
Simla on the sth of November, on his return to Eng-
land,. The courts-martial on Lieutenants Goodridge
and Rose have terminated ; the former has been ac-
quitted, and the latter reprimanded for having placed
himself under the protection of the civil power when
gratuitously insulted and threatened with chastisement
by a person whom he had stated to be physically
inferior to himself, instead of applying' (in Sir
C. Napier's words) his boasted superior physical
strength to the defence of his person and his honour."
The first sections of the Bengal and Bombay
Railways will probably be commenced in November
or December. A scheme has been originated by
Captain French, late Acting-Resident at Baroda, fur
a railway, 42 miles in length, to that capital from
Tankara Bunder, at the head of the Gulf of Cambay.
Toe preliminary survey and estimate have been made
at the expense of the Guicowar of Baroda. The ship
Ariadne was wrecked in the Bay of Bengal by the
gale of the 6th of August; 12 of her crew have ar-
rived-at Calcutta, after wandering about in the
Soonderbunda for three weeks, exposed to every
variety
,oflar'dshipS,
" TheAustrArlari wines have at length found their
way into the Calcutta.markets, and are selling there
for 325. * dozen. Mr; Bethune has contributed
10,0001. to the New Female Schools at Calcutta.

EXPORTS.

Cotton. Wool—The purchasps during the fortnight
mount to 5,225 bales and 1.375 candies. The quality
of the staple now prdcurable being inferior, and the
p: ices a,ktd by dealers exorbitantly high, have togcher
caused the market to assume a comparatively quiet az-
p cr. Arrivals of the new crop are now beginning to
talto ph.ce. The stccks of Last season's crop are nearly
43,:th auste d. _ _

during the past fortnight, but prices continue firm
at 41,30 Dr. for Mundhstr, and 1,275 r. fur Indore.
