SUN OFFICE Three o'Cloch.

Ample details of the news brought by the over-land
mail from India and China will be found in another part
of The Sun. We have perused all the accounts which
have yet come to hand, with attention, and it affords us
pleasure to have to repeat what we stated in our edition of
this morning, as to their being more favourable than, under
all the circumstances, we were warranted in expecting.
The Caubul massacre was not quite so conclusive as Dr.
BRYDON reported it. There is no longer a doubt that
many officers and men escaped who were supposed to
have fallen, and such as were made prisoners by the
Affghans were kindly ant humanely treated. We have

little.doubt that hundreds will be be found to have escaped
who are now numbered with the dead. As we sus-
pected from the first the real traitor was the Shall
SOOJAH, who was jealous of British influence, and who
plotted their utter destruction. The discovery of the
Shah's treachery was made in a singular manner. The
inhabitants orNissar, in Kohistan, have given shelter to
the Caubul rebels, and refused tribute to the Shah ; the
British Envoy sent a message to their chiefs, threatening
them with destruction unless they submitted to the Royal
authority. They, in answer, enclosed to him private
letters from the Shah, of undoubted authenticity, in
which the King informed them that he detested the
English infidels, and that he only awaited the ar-
rival of the Royal family at Loodiana, to destroy
them, or drive them out of his country. He also
sent the Chaoos Basha, an officer of his Court,
to Candahar, to advise the chiefs there to fall

upon the English and destroy them. This fact was
authenticated by Major RAWLINSON, the political chief,
and directly communicated to Sir WILLIAM 11,PNAGIF"
TEN. The SnAu of course denied everything, and the
Envoy was weak enough to believe him, although the
Shah's seal was affixed to letters before him, and hii
very Ministers dared not prononnce them forgeries,
against the testimony of so many chiefs. This fatal
credulity cost the Envoy his life,:and Great Britain the
loss of an army. There is little doubt, however, that
the summer campaign will reverse all our misfortunes is
Affghanistan.

We have nothing to add to-day to the opinion already
expressed of the news from China. So far as yet
developed, we cordially approve of Sir H. PoTTTNOEa'S
policy.

There is no news of the slightest interest in the
French Papers, save the little contained in the subjoined
extracts :

The Moniteur of the 3d publishes :the remainder of the
Addresses made to the King on the Ist of May, and his Mr
jesty's answers.

The official journal does not publish this owning his Dla•
jesty's answer to the speeeh of the Archbishop of Paris.
The Memorial Bordeluis of the Ist of May says—" The ac'
counts from Spain give reason to conjecture a speedy change in
the Cabinet.

" The Regent Espartero seems to be at present inclined t°
this expedient, and does not wish to arouse political Passional/
new elections. It is said that he has declared that he intellel
to letthis legislation sit its proper time.
" According to the Constitution the duration.of the Corte
is three years, and the present Chamber was elected in 1841.
"It is said that the Government will be confided to .51*
Olezaja, as Minister of Foreign Affairs, and. President of.the,
Council. This nomination would be more favourable to a goo°
understanding between Spain and France, than the present ad'
ministration of M. Gonzalez ; in this case M. Costina would
have the department of the Interior.— Constilutionnet
M. Briten, of Nantes, asked the following question, to which;
probably no answer will be given :—" Why is the produce °'
the English Newfoundland fishing admitted into our Colonies,
while the produce of the French fisheries is prohibited in the
British possessions Commerce.

debate in the next General Assembly, which weeks

A little before twelve o'clock on Friday night'„,
fire broke out. in the cotton spinning mill at Finniestoot.n,
longing to the Finnieston Spinninp, Company. The fire oog,
nated in an apartment on the lower flat, called the piek,il;ve
room, and we regret to learn that about 100 poor people 'lo.
been thrown out of employment, at a time when trade is to in
,ually depressed, and there is little hope of their getting or
elsewhere. The building and machinery are only about 6/ vet,
six years old, the mill on the same site being burned about ,e for
years ago, The works are insured in three different offices
