OVERLAND MAIL

INDIA AND CHINA.
By Extraordinary Express from Paris we have
just received the following
TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH :

THE CONSUL OF FRANCE AT MALTA TO THE

MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

MALTA, SIFT. 4.

The Indian mail, which has been expected here for
eight days past, has arrived this morning, having
left Bombay on the 19th of July. It contains only
the news of a mutiny in a Bengal regiment, and of
the,loss of about 80 reapers (or harvest men) and ir-
regular horse, surprised by the enemy near Shickar-
pore, and the expectation of a plentiful harvest in
consequence of the abundance of the monsoon rains.

Lord Ellenborough was waiting at Calcutta the
arrival of his successor.

On the 20th of May last, which is the latest date
from China, Sir Henry Pottinger was on the eve of
his departure for Bombay.

MOROCCO.—Accounts received, via Gibraltar, state
that another battle had taken place between the
French and the Moors, in which the former, falling
into' an ambush, were defeated by Abd-el-Kader
with much loss.

We have to express our sincere thanks to the pro-
prietor of the London Sun, for transmitting to us a
copious report of the judgment ; and also to the pro-
prietor of the Dublin Monitor for a bulletin containing
a brief summary of the same.—Londonderry Sentinel.
REVERSAL Or THE JUDGMENT OP THE QUEEN'S
BENCH.—The London Sun, of Wednesday evening, for
which we beg to tender our 'acknowledgments and best
thanks, brings us the early intelligence of the result of
the writ of error, in the House of Lords, on Wednesday
last ; that result will be found in our columns.—Nenayh
Guardian.

A daring burglary was committed in the dwelling-
house 'of Mr. George Saitmarsh, of Mou!sham, on Fr:day
morning last. The thieves forced open and entered the
kitchen window, and ►tole from the cellar two loaves of
home-baked bread and about Albs. of salt pork from the
iub; they then ransacked the front dwelling-room, open-
ng a bureau by means of false keys or pick-lock keys,
pulling out all the drawers, from which they took tWO so-
vereigns, examined apparently all the papers and drawers
and scattered their contents on the floor, A pocket-book
also occupied their scrutiny; as, in their haste to exa-
mine its contents they pulled out the leaves, and
strewed the memorandums about the house ; a tea caddy
standing upon the bureau was emptied, thrown on the
floor, and 6d. in silver, and four peleny pieces were taken
therefrom. A cupboard in the same room was examined,
and the spoons turned over, but not being silver they
were left behind. They then unlocked the front door,
which they left wide open, and escaped with their 13,..0ty.
Notwi- hstanding the vigilance of the police, not tie !ea: t
trace has been discovered of these daring burglars.
They were heard of by one of the neighbours at tie
bottom of the yard in the middle of the night, and one
of them said " Come on." It is supposed the thieves
must have been well acquainted with the premises, and
that they took their shoes off to prevent disturbing the
inrnates.—.Esseer Herald.

ROYAL VISIT TO SCOTLAND.
EMBARKATION OF lIER MAJESTY AND
PRINCE ALBERT AT WOOLWICH.

It being known that her Majesty was to embark at
an early hour this morning at Woolwich, on her
second visit to Scotland, that place, not-
withstanding the unfavourable state of the
weather, presented an animated appearance. It
was announced that the royal embarkation would
take place at an early hour, and this, together with
the dull and gloomy appearance of the morning, pre-
vented a greater number of spectators from being
present than would have been the case under other
circumstances. A very large concourse was pre-
sent notwithstanding, and amongst them were seve-
ral respectable ladies, who were anxious to catch
a glimpse of a Sovereign, whose private virtues
add a lustre to her sex and her throne. About ten
minutes to nine o'clock, the Royal party passed by
Greenwich, where the church bells rang out their
merriest peals, and the Greenwich pensioners were
drawn up at the back of the Hospital on one side of
the road, and the boys of the Greenwich College•were
drawn up on the other side. The Royal cortege
passed between, and her Majesty received a hearty
and enthusiastic reception. About nine o'clock
the royal carriages were seen to approach
Woolwich. Her Majesty and Princess Albert,
with her Royal Highness the Princess Royal,
rode in the first carriage, which was a close one,
drawn by four horses. The Prince Consort looked
rather pale, and if her Majesty was not altogether so
blooming and fresh looking as she usually appears, it
must be attributed to the rather short period which has
elapsed since her Majesty's illness. But though pale, her
Majesty appeared by no means delicate. Her Ma-
jesty and the Prince were dressed in mourning.
Besides the carriage in which her Majesty
rode, there were three others, each drawn by
four horses, containing the Earl of Liverpool
(Lord Steward, Viscountess Canning, Lady
Caroline Cocks (Lady in Waiting), and the
Equerries in Waiting to the Queen and the Prince.
As soon as her Majesty had arrived, a royal salute
was fired. Inside the dockyard gates the Marines,
under the command of Colonel Mercer, were
drawn up, and acted as her Majesty's guard of
honour, and the bands of the Royal Marines and the
Royal Artillery struck up the National Anthem.
There were also in attendance upon her Majesty on
her arrival three troops of the Horse Artillery,
under the command of Lord Bloomfield, the corn-
manlier of the garrison. The Earl of Hadding-
ton, the Honourable Sydney Herbert, who
had been superintending the arrangements for
her Majesty's voyage, together with the Earl of
Aberdeen and Sir James Clerk, were present when
her Majesty arrived. Vice-Admiral Sir William
Gage, Admiral Boys, Sir G. F. Seymour, and the
Hon. H. Coles and other officers were also in attend-
ance. Her Majesty was most enthusiastically
cheered as she alighted and proceeded to
the royal barge, which was steered by
Sir F. Collier, K.C.8., Captain Superin-
tendent of Woolwich Dockyard, to the Royal Vic-
toria and Albert steam-yacht, which was stationed at
a short distance in the river, and on which they were
received by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence. Im-
mediately after entering the royal yacht, the
illustrious party descended to the cabin. The
splendid vessel had been prepared to start for
some time previous, and exactly at twenty minutes
past nine the vessel's moorings were left go, and she
proceeded on her course to Dundee. A royal
salute was fired as the royal vessel passed the
Arsenal, and the band played the National Anthem.
The Black Eagle steam-yacht, to the command of
which the Right Hon. the Earl of Hardwicke was
specially appointed, followed in the rear of the royal
yacht; and, as he is the senior officer, the com-
mand of the squadron will devolve upon
him. Besides those vessels, the Eclair, the
Stromboli, the Blazer, the Porcupine, the Vol-
cano, and the Princess Alice, forming a portion of
the royal squadron, have already started for Scotland.
Sir Robert Peel was to have attended her Majesty,
but remained behind in consequence of the
illness of his daughter. In his absence the
Earl of Aberdeen accompanied her Majesty.
As the royal yacht got under weigh the clouds, which
were threatening bad weather, broke up, the sky be-
came brighter, and it would seem as if that beautiful
weather, which it has been remarked always coin-
cides with her Majesty's journeyings and processions,
was not to be absent from her on her second visit to
her dominions in the North.

There are some further arrivals announced th's morn-
ing from Ichaboe, with cargoes of guano. It is stated
that there were about fifty ships in the neighbourhood of
the island waiting their turn to take in cargoes. By
common consent a code of regulations had been adopted,
and regularly carried out, for the ships to receive their car-
goes, in which the captains of all the vessels on the station
have acquiesced. The fact is mentioned that where the
guano has been removed, and where virgin soil exists,
vegetation is most rapid. May it not happen that this,
and other islands in the same latitude, hitherto barren
as far as verdure is concerned, will be turned to account.
If we do not occupy it, some other perhaps will. There
is a good number of arrivals in the port of London re-
ported in the usual list to-day.
Not much business has been done to-day in the Funds,
and the fluctuation has been trifling ; still Consols for
the Account have again reached par, and for Mono)

99i to-day. _

It is jut reported that a forged transfer has just been
disco%ered to the amount of 8,0001.
A firm market has ruled for the Foreign Bonds this
morning. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have risen
to 62k, Spanish to 23k, the Three per Cents. to 34k, Por-
tuguese to 45k, Mexican to 36, and Brazilian to 86.
A great deal of business has been done in the Railway
Shares to-day, and our list of quotations will show at ad-
vanced prices, with very few exceptions indeed. Union
Bank of Australia Shares have touched premium.
