THE OVERLAND MAILi.),
In anticipation of the hi-monthly Indian mail, intelli-
gence has been received from Bombay to the sth of April ;
Calcutta, the 7th ; and Madras, the 14th. The intelli-
gence is not of a very important character. Sir Charles
Napier's expedition against the Pindarees has been crowned
with complete success. Bejar Khan, the leader, and a
considerable part of his followers, have been captured.
The Punjaub remains in a very unsettled state. The
Khalsa troops have come to an arrangement with Goolah
Singh, who is to pay them 36 lacs of rupees.
Phond Savant and his confederates continue to find
sanctuary in the Goa territories. The Portuguese gover-
nor still refuses to allow our troops to follow the rebels
within his frontier, and is unable, even if be were willing,
to drive out the fugitives.
The measures for concentrating a body of troops on the
north-west frontier of the Sutlej are nearly completed. Sir
H. Hardinge will visit the Upper Provinces during the
year.

Cholera is prevalent in Calcutta, but is not of a nature
to create more than customary alarm.
From China there is no news of interest.

There is a floating rePorithWACleW6;been surprised
and captured, but no reliance can be placed on a report
which has become proverbial by its frequency.
The court-martial on Col. Wallace had not commenced.

_..... . ..........
The express frnm Madras, with the first part of the Eng-
lish mail of the 20th February, had not reached Bombay
on the sth of April.
COMMERCIAL REPORT, APRIL 7.
CALCUTTA.-Our market remains in much the same
position as on the 19th ult. The late news from England
has scarcely at all affected this market.—The money mar-
ket remained quiet.

The Antigone of Sophocles, is to be brought out by
Mr. Vandenhoff, at Palmo's Opera House, New 'York.

Twenty-six persons are said to have perishe d in Russia
in March by a terrific snow-storm.

About 140 persons perished by an explosion of fire
damp, which took place in a coal mine at Bouesu, near
Quirrain, in Belgium, the other day.
The East India Company have granted a pension of
£lOOO a-year to the distinguished Oriental, Mohun Lal,
who was mainly instrumental in rescuing the captives of
Akhbar Kban.
SWITZERLAND.—THE LEADER AGAINST THE JE-
SUITS.—The case of Dr. Steiger was heard by the supe-
rior tribunal at Lucerne on the 17th. Dr. Steiger made
an eloquent defence, but the tribunal confirmed the sen-
tence of death that had been pronounced upon him, by a
majority of seven to three.

DUEL—It is said that the Baron Espiard de Colonge,
the attache to the French Legation at Munich, has been
suspended from his functions by M. Guizot, for having
been engaged in a duel. His adversary was M. d'Almeida,
Chamberlain of the Dowager Empress of Brazil. The
duel was fought with swords, and M. Colonge received a
slight wound near the eye.
HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.—The prominent event of the
past fortnight is of a fearful character ; a tragedy of a hor-
rible description, which occurred on Saturday night.
We allude to the murder, arson, and attempt at suicide,
committed by one of the Emancipados who lately came to
this country from the Havana ; the unfortunate victim
having been the murderer's benefactor, and the other n-ran
equally so, as well as the three women ; all of whom this
monster, in his savage fury, has more or less seriously
wounded. We may here observe that no cause has been
assigned.—Jamaica Times.

IRELAND.

The Cork Reporter, of Tuesday, states that Mr. Wyse,
M.P. and Dr. W. Cooke Taylor, are likely to be ap-
pointed as the principals of two of the projected colleges.
- -

The Cork Committee of Merchants have petitioned in
favour of the line of railway by which it is proposed to
connect Liverpool and Bury. The line is an important
one for Ireland.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—The usual weekly meeting
was held on .Monday, Mr. Dillon Browne, M.P. in the
chair. Mr. O'Connell addressed the meeting, and
stated that, as the Roman catholic bishops were to meet
on Wednesday, he would decline entering upon the ques-
tion of the new colleges bill, adding that he would abide
by whatever decision they might come to respecting the
religious portions of the measure. The amount of the
rent is over £4OO.

THE TARA DEMONSTRATION.—On Wednesday this
long-talked-of meeting took place. According to the
repeal papers, there were 50,000 persons present. After
the ceremony of the Alass, a procession was formed to
the Valley of the Boyne, the temperance band playing,
at the request of O'Connell, " The Boyne Water."
Having passed through the town of Navan, the proceed-
ings of the day commenced by a resolution that a petition
in favour of repeal should be presented to the House of
Commons. O'Connell then addressed the meeting in a
long speech, but there was no particular remark made by
him. The banquet then took place, and was, like the
other proceedings, evidently a dull affair. The only
member of the Romish hierarchy present was Dr. Cant-
well. O'Connell, in the course of one of his speeches,
said that " Sir Robert Peel was doing twice as much for
Ireland as any whig government that ever existed. The
whigs are gone—the radicals are beneath contempt—the
Protestant dissenters have disgraced themselves for ever.
Lord J. Russell is now nothing in political life. Peel can
now laugh at the opposition of the whigs." Dr. Cantwell
said that " he felt justified in saying, that there was not
a Romish bishop in Ireland who did not sympathise in
the object of the evening's banquet." He then went on
to fling hack with energy the concessions of Sir Robert
Peel, and solemnly asserted, that instead of appeasing the
Papists, they would only serve to increase their exertions
for repeal, &c.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-It is with feelings of more
than ordinary pain that we record a fatal accident which
occurred on Monday last to Albert Enery, Esq., of this
city. As Mr. Enery was riding towards Thomastown, at
the police barrack of Bennett's-bridge, he met the Thomas-
town car, at which his horse shied so violently as to throw
him from the saddle. He, however, re-mounted, unin-
jured by the fall, and proceeded to inflict punishment on
the animal, which being of a very sulky and vicious tem-
per, immediately turned homeward, and proceeded at full
speed through the village. In turning the sharp angle of
the bridge, the animal lost his legs, and with its rider was
violently dashed to the earth. The horse, which was very
severely bruised, upon regaining his feet, end, avoured to
continue his course at the same speed, dragging with him
for a short distance the body of Mr. Enery, whose foot
had remained fast in the stirrup-iron. The animal having
been at length arrested in his mad course, Mr. Enery,
whose head and face were found to be dreadfully bruised
and mangled, was carried into a house, where every ne-
cessary medical assistance was afforded him ; however
medical skill was found to be unavailing, Mr. Enery hav-
ing breathed his last within two hours after the accident,
during which period he had remained in a state of total
insensibility. Mr. Enery was the only son of a widowed
mother, the relict of the late Captain Enery, of the Kil-
kenny Militia. It is an extraordinary and melancholy
coincidence, that Mr. Enery had on that morning deter-
mined that he would never again ride the horse—a predic-
tion which was indeed speedily and fearfully accomplished.
