INDIA AND CHINA.

(From the Morning Ha ald.)

We have received by express our papers and letters
in anticipation of the Overland Mail from Calcutta. The
dates are Calcutta, July 3 ; Madras, July 10 ; Bombay,
July 3; Alexandria, August 8; and Malta, August 12.
We have not any intelligence from China of later date
than that brought by the last mail from Bombay.

CALCUTTA, JULY a

The lapse of three weeks since my last dispatch has not,
I fear, enabled me to collect materials for a very interesting
epistle on this occasion. We complain here of the barren-
ness of the English mails, which bring us little of exciting
intelligence, except such as relates to the murders which are
becoming so fLshionable among you. You, on the other
hand, have some reason to retaliate in remarks upon the
dullness of the Indian news market, which supplies nothing
more interesting than vague speculations on the next out-
breaks among the Seikhs, and discussions on tariffs, anti. mis-
sionary movements and lawyers' bills, instead of announce-
ments of battles fought and victories won.

A native paper reports a most horrible case of dacoity, or
gang robbery, in a district near Calcutta. A band of dacoits
attacked and entered the house of a Brahmin, whose family
comprised an unusual number of women. These on the at-
tack retired to a room, locked themselves in, and from the
inside parleyed with the robbers, offering them all their
jewels and ornaments if they might be spared from
insult or injury. The ruffians, however, broke into
the room, and proceeded to divest the poor women
of. their ornaments and clothes; and,, it is almost
too monstrous for belief, when the ring or bangle
from the arm or ancle did not come away easily,
they cut off the limb. After mutilating ten or twelve
women in this horrible manner, they retired with their
booty. Some of their victims have died from their wounds,
it is said. This tale may be true or it may be false ; it
seems incredible, but who shall assign a limit to the barba-
rity of Indian robbers ! What would you English papers
make of such an horror as this ? Here, even if the report be
confirmed, a brief paragraph will be its only record.
The estate of the rajah of Berhampore, who committed
suicide last year, has lately been the subject of some sharp
practice between the Court of Wards and the Ecclesiastical
Registrar. The latter got hold of the property in Calcutta,
and sent an auctioneer to Berhampore to dispose of the pro.
petty there. The collector, acting as representative of the
Court of Wards, threatened the auctioneers with imprison-
ment., &c.,if they appeared on the premises, so they were
obliged to return to Calcutta without effecting the
object of their mission. The Court of Wards then sent
up other auctioneers who have sold the property,
and as it is said very well too, but the Registrar threatens
them with pains and penalties, from which however they are
of course held harmless by the Court of Wards which em-
ployed them. The rajah's widow has given birth to a
daughter, and by the provisions of the will the bulk of the
property therefore goes to found a college at Berhampore.
The widow, however, it is said, is about to bring forward
another will, which if admitted, as however it is hardly
likely to be, will alter the state of affairs considerably, by
giving her the power to adopt an heir.
A very annoying accident occurred near Calcutta lately.
A fine suspension bridge, the longest, it is said, in India, just
as it was completed, fell into the water. It was thrown over
the Buloo Khal, a creek a few miles up the river.
Letters have been received from the Punjaub, which state
that the recent tranquillity has been broken by a battle, or
skirmish, between Peshora Singh and the royal army, in
which the former had the advantage, but did not follow it up.
I have no recent news from China. _ .

The English mail of the 7th May reached Calcutta on the
19th June, and the Precursor, with that of the 24th May, is
in the river, but, being unable to go into the City to-day, I
do not know if she is off town.

BOMBAY, JULY 3.

Very little news has transpired since my last. People
usually keep quiet during the rainy season in India, and the
country at present exhibits nought but the most gratifying
and exemplary tranquillity. That terrible scourge, cholera,
has made its appearance in almost every station in western
India, and has not only committed serious ravages amongst
the native community, but has cut off a good many Eu-
ropeans. In the Punjaub, Peshawur, &c., it has been fright-
fully prevalent, and at one time, in the city of Lahore alone,
it was striking down five and six hundred daily : latterly the
deaths are reported at fifty and sixty, and the total number
that have fallen in the sickly capital and its environs since
the first breaking out of the malady, is stated at between
twenty and thirty thousand.
The news from Sinde continues pacific and unexciting.
Our troops continue healthy.
There is no later news from China than that given in my
last.

(From the Times.)

We :have received by our extraordinary express dis-
patches from India in anticipation of the bi-monthly
mail.

The quietness of the Punjaub appears to be the quiet-
ness of death. The Seikhs no longer mete out death to
each other, but disease sweeps them off by thousands.
The cholera, in its most malignant type, has been raging
in Lahore and the neighbourhood, and it was calculated
that the deaths averaged from 500 to 700 per day. At
the date of the last accounts this dreadful disease was on
the decline, after having carried off between 20,000 and
30,000 victims.

•
The last advices from Peshawur represent that city as
almost deserted. Every one who had the means of re-
moving had left the city. The number of deaths in that

place between the 30th of March and the 2d of May
amounted to 4,825.
In the midst of this direful affliction the state of par-

ties had not changed very materially. In our last we
stated that Prince Peshora Singh had taken possession of
two or three provinces, the revenues of which he in-
tended to apply to his own use. It is now said, that the
treasure sent tcwards'-Peshawur by the Sirdar, amount-
ing to nearly six lacs kupees, had also fallen into the
hands of Peshora Singh, who had surprised the escort.
The greater part of the troops, it is now said, are in
favour of Peshora Singh, their good-will having been ob-
tained by the intrigues, or rather purchased by the gold,
of Ghoolab Singh.

The Raja Goolerwallah Singh, the father-in-law of
the late Raja Heera Singh, who had been at Lahore for
same time settling his account with the Sirdar, was sud-
denly attacked with cholera, and died shortly after. The
Sirdar Jowahir Singh, having heard of his death, sent
immediately to seize a horse and some other property
that the Raja had disposed of in charity in his last
moments. The Wuzeer Jowahir Singh is, in the mean

time, becoming daily more unpopular, and it is said
Peshora Singh aspires to the office of Wuzeer.
Public attention has been much excited by the expo•
sure of certain alleged malpractices in the Supreme
Court of Madras, where the Master, who is also the
taxing-officer, has been, it is said, long in the practice
of taking illegal fees, and allowing them to be charged
by the attorneys. It is represented that in one ease
where he had permitted the attorney to charge illegal
fees to the amount of 1,600 rupees (160/. sterling), he
had charged for himself 3,000 rupees, or 300/. Not-
withstanding an able defence made by the Counsel on
behalf of Mr. Minchin, the Master, the Court pro-
nounced him guilty of the charge, and deprived him of
his office. In defence of Mr. Minchin, it is said that,
at the request of Sir Robert Comp], he resigned a
lucrative practice at the Madras bar to become the
Master of the Court, on the express understanding
that the emoluments of the office averaged about 42.000
rupees per annum ; that these emoluments arose from a
table of fees established in 1801, and partly from
others sanctioned from time to time by the different
Masters for business, but provided for by the table, and
tacitly allowed by successive judges. No new fee, it is
said, has been introduced for the last fourteen years, or
by Mr. Minchin during his period of office; and it is
alleged that the Chief Justice, or his colleague for the

time being, having affixed their signatures to several
hundred bills of costs, containing all those fees which arc
now said to be illegal, and without which signature

tho,e fees could not be demanded. Mr. Minchin is ex-
pected to arrive by the present mail, in order to appeal,
it is sail, against the decision of the Madras judges.
In Ceylon the cultivation of the tea plant had been
commenced, and great expectations were entertained of
the result of the experiments. According to other opi-
nions, although the tea plant will grow within the
tropics, and maintain a flourishing appearance, the leaf
is said to be totally destitute of flavour, and therefore
useless.

The important subject of railroads has not escaped
discussion. The Calcutt / Englishman contends that the
London scheme for obtaining a Government guarantee
of a certain amount of dividend to a company can be of
no public advantage, and that a line connecting Calcutta
with the great markets and thoroughfare of the north-
west provinces is the line that must be supported.
We regret to add, that that dreadful scourge, the
cholera, had reached the banks of the Sutlej and made
its appearance at Ferozepore, though not in our canton-
ments. The mortality amongst the officers of the
Madras army has been greater than any remembered
for many years past.
The Bombay cavalry have memorialised the Court

of Directors on the subject of granting an additional
captain, and we are happy to find that the memorial
has been intrusted to Alsjor-General Archibald 'Watson.
An important order has also been issued by the
Governor-General for remedying the inconveniences
resulting from the present mode of allowing young
officers to join their regiments. We are happy to find
this subject has at length attracted the attention of
G overnment.

The steamer Precursor, with the mail to the 24th
of May, anchored in Madras roads on the 28th of June,
thus affording intelligence from England in the unusually
short spice of 35 days.
The British frigates Thunderer and Conway had been
dispatched from the Mauritius on the 7th of June to
the island of Mad ►gascar, to protect the European in-
habitants, who had been ordered by the Queen to
become naturalized, or quit the country.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Calcutta Englishman of July 2. )
Considerable dullness has been observable in business gene-
rally since our last issue of the 9th ult., but•still in no single
staple, either of import or export, have we any important
change to notice as regards prices. The Government express

of the mail, via Bombay, came in on the 19th ult., and put us
in receipt of London dates to the 7th of May. The accounts
of the home n arketa for East India produce were again unfa-
vourable ; ard, although the lowness of stocks still enables hol-
ders here in most instances to maintain former rates, there has
been but little anxiety shown to purchase, and transactions
have been on a very moderate scale.
The long looked-for improvement in the demand for im-
ports has not as yet been manifested in the slightest degree,
although the rivers are now navigable, and produce is arriving
freely ; this is probably caused by the attention of the dealers
being still occupied with opium speculations, and by the large
sums of money required for that purpose, and, as the sum that
will be required during the present month to effect the clear-
ance of that purchased on the 30th ult. is no less than 7,000,000
Company's rupees, we see no prospect of money being more
aLuudant at present, although, from this being the last Govern-
ment sale of the season, it is probable the dealers may now re-
turn to their legitimate business.
Exchange has again advanced about a farthing, but at this a
large amount of operations have been effected, and first-rate
paper is in request. Our river is still well supplied with ship-
ping, and freight is procurable on about the same terms as at
the date of our last.

Indigo—Our late accounts from the interior are not so flou-
rishing as those previously received, particularly from the east-
ward ( rurrcedpore, Dacca, Mymunsingh), where they have
experienced very heavy rain and a sudden rise of the rivers,
which have done them a great deal of harm—in fact, so much
so, as to reduce their prospects to two-thirds of what they.pre •
vionsly calculated on ; it also appears that the rain has injured
the plant considerably in Rungpore, as well as in Jessore and
Rajeshaye, and should the weather experienced in Calcutta
during the past two or three days have extended to those dis-
tricts, we shall doubtless shortly hear of further complaints.
On the whole, however, we cannot say that the general
accounts are very bad, as a few days of fine wea-
ther would counteract the damage done le many parts, and
we are aware that rain was much wanted in others,
as Nuddea, Alaldah, Purneah, and Bhaugulpore, where the
manufacture is progressing splendidly : from '..firhoot our as-
counts are rather favourable as compared with those of last
month ; the western provinces are likewise promising
well, pro-
vide(' they have early rains, and we hope to hem in a few days
of their having regularly set in there ; in which case they will
cut a splendid koontie, with a probability of a good nowdah. We,
however, hear a very general complaint of the fine plant they
are cutting not yielding so good produce as was looked for, and
many parties will find their out-turn fall short of what they cal-
culated on from the quantity and general appearance of the
crop; this deficiency, however, is to be attributed more to the
coolness of the nights than to the quality of the plant, and with
fine weather will improve.
It is still quite impossible to say anything about the quantity
likely to he produced, as everything depends en the weather
experienced throughout the manufacturing season, but we can
confidently say that there is plant enough on the ground to yield
a full average out-turn.

Sugar—At the date of our last the low state of the rivers
had only allowed of small parcels coming to hand, and these
consisted principally of good to fine qualities, which fouled a
ready sale ; since then, however, arrivals have been more f'see,
and, except for the very finest descriptions, there has been but
little demand ; so that, although we cannot as yet quote arq
material decline, the tendency is decidedly downwards. With,
low sugars the market is still very moderately supplied, and
prices are almost nominal.
For Khaur the inquiry has fallen off, and transactions have
been very limited.
Exports to Great Britain in June amounted to 150,378
maunds. .

Saltpetre—There is still a fair demand for this staple, and
although there is not at present much doing for Great Britain,
the scarcity of some descriptions and the demand for America
keep up prices.
For France we do not hear of any purchases, but small ship-
ments have gone forward to China.
Exports in June were as follows, viz. i —To Great Britain,
24,832 maunds ; to North America, 8,007 maiinds.
Raw Silk—This market continues very quiet, the large
holders being still disinclined to submit to any decline, without
which it is impossible that any general demand can be expe-
rienced, but as the unsold portion of the last build is still very
considerable, and the produce of the rainy bund will be coming
to hand in about a month, we think considerable more anxiety
to realise will shortly be manifested, in which case a material
decline appears inevitable. The sales since our last have con-
sisted almost entirely of small parcels, which have been taken
at a shade under former rates.
Exports to Great Britain in June amounted to 1,338 mds.
Silk Piece Goods—Our market continues well supplied with
Corahs of low quality, but for these there is no inquiry, and
tkey are difficult of sale except at a considerable decline ; the
few parcels of first quality cloths, however, which have come to
hand have found purchasers at nearly former rates.
Choppas and Bandannas go forward on manufactures' account
with the exception of small parcels of Radnagore, which are at
times obtainable in this market.

Exports to Great Britain in June were as follows :—Corahs,
57,246 pieces; Choppas and Bandannas, 4,795 pieces.
I-lice—The demand for table has continued moderate, and
purchases have been far from heavy, m ithout alteration in price.
Moonghy and Ballam have been taken to some extent for
Mauritius and Bourbon, at Ir. Ba. to Ir. 10a. 6p. per maund.
Exports in June were as follows, viz.:—
To Great Britain
To Mauritius ..

Oil Seeds—The Americans continue the only purchasers of
linseed, and are still takirg off large quantities, at from 2r. 2a.
to 2r. 6a. per maund, according to quality. Mustard seed is
in request for Great Britain, at former rates, but we are not
aware of many purchases.
Rum—This article is but litte inquired for, nor are we aware
of a single purchase; quotations are, therefore, still nominal.
Exports to Great Britain in June amounted to 49,351 gallons.
Shell Lac and Lac Dye—For shell lac there is at present but
little inquiry for any part, and sales can only be effected at a
decline. This, however, the holders of European manufacture
will not submit to, and transactions are therefore confined to a
few purchasers of low quality.
Lac dye continues in demand and scarce, except native
marks, which are not much wanted, and offering at about
former rates.

Jute—The native holders still keep up the price of this
staple by shipping, and we seldom hear of sales to any extent
in this market.
Exports to Great Britain continue heavy, and in June
amounted to 27,94.5 maunds.
Safflower, Munieet, Ginger, and Turmeric—A large busi-
ness continues to be done in safflower, without any material
alteration in price for good quality, although common sorts are
getting less inquired for ; shipments have been going forward
very freely, and we should say considerably more than half the
crop has already been disposed of.
In Munjeet we are not aware of any transactions. Ginger
continues in moderate request for Great Britain and America,
but for neither are we aware of any extensive purchases.
Turmei is is not at present wanted, but a few parcels have
been taken for Great Britain at about 2r. per maund.
Cowries, and Cutch—Under this head we have not
a singlesal Tetioncreport since our last. Cowries are, however,
in moderate demand for Great Britain, and in prices we have no
alteration to notice.
Cotton—This staple continues to command but little atten-
tion, and shipments to China are to a very moderate extent,
being from Ist inst. up to date only 561 maunds.
Opium—Prices commenced declining gradually shortly
forged passes, and it was thought the Government sale, held on
tahftee r 3
ot the date of
