pOrtion of the most valuable

Advices, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, have
reached London, bringing dates from Calcutta to the 6th
of April, Madras the Bth, Bornbay the 15th, and China,

. . .
March 29. This arrival communicates no political news
of interest—suffice it to say, that the most profound tran-
quility reigns throughout India. The rajah of Sattarah,
brother of the deceased rajah, died on the sth of April,

hands of the British government. The ren

tal is said to

exceed £150,000 a year.
The judgment of the Supreme Court of Calcutta has
affirmed the validity of the Union Bank post-bills, thereby
fixing the shareholders of that disastrous concern with a
million sterling of liabilities, of which they hoped to have
been exempted.
The firm of Carr, Tagore, and Co., of which the cele-
brated Dwrrlcenouth Tagore was the founder, has failed—
to them no one imputed dishonourable conduct. No
further failures had taken place at Bombay or Madras,
and markets at both places were improving, and credit
and confidence reving. The Boogtie chief, Islam Khan,
who had been assigned lands near Larkhanah, in Scinde,
on his surrender after the murderous victory of Lieut.
Merewether, has fled with his family to the hills, where
he will, it is said, be joined by the remnants of his retinue,
intent on foray, and eager for revenge. Lord Dalhousie

continued at Calculta, quietly pursuing the wise and
peaceful course of policy he seems to have chalked out for
himself.

Commercial matters both at Bombay and Calcutta were

The papers from China acquaint us with the arrival at

FRANCE.
Whilst the French Commission is ruminating over
the fabrication of a constitution, protected in its de-
liberations by a fine army of 50,000 soldiers, the bour-
geoisie of Paris are filled with an alarming sense of in-
security. It seems that neither Communists nor the
sections are extinct notwithstanding the failure of the
outbreak headed by Barbes, Raspail, and Sobrier. It is
apprehended that the Terrorists may make another at-
tempt at any moment, and although the clubs are being
suppressed one by one, and there is present the powerful
army which we have just mentioned, both the Govern-
ment arid the peaceably-disposed are ill at ease.
The finance committees would, it was understood, re-
port strongly against the government propositioa for the
redemption of railways. A protest of the Orleans Princes
against the project of banishment has excited ,much in-
terest. Lists of candidates for the twelve vacant seats for
Paris are published in the government papers. The.con-
test will he a warm one. Tbe Refonne supports .avowed
