INDIA AND CHINA.—We have the intelligence brought
from India and China by the Overland Mail, which left
Bombay on the 20th of May last. The mail was des-
patched thus early-11 days before its ordinary time of
departure—in order that it might escape the violence of
the monsoon. As, however, only eight days had elapsed
since the date of our previous advices by the intermediate,
or Calcutta mail, the intelligence is of no political impor-
tance, and scarcely even of commercial interest, as but
little change had taken place in the aspect of the markers.
The hot weather had set in, and this, too, added to the
general stagnation both in politics and trade. To supply
this vacuum, the Indian newspapers amuse themselves
with rumours respecting the Punjaub, the state of
Scinde and Cabul, diversified with a few of the local
squabbles which are always rife in India. Sir Henry
Hardinge was still at Calcutta, and, in spite of the
heat, as active as ever in plans for the internal im-
provement of Bengal. From China no farther advices
had been received since the date of the last mail. The
only article of news is the decision of the court-martial
upon Colonel Wallace, who has been convicted of disobe-
dience of orders, and sentenced to a suspension of six
months from rank, pay, and allowances. It was said
that the Commander-in-Chief considered this too lenient
a sentence, but public opinion was still much in the gal-
lant Colonel's favour. The Bombay Times says that a
mysterious silence is maintained on the state of the
revenue of Scinde, which is said to be as far as possible
from being satisfactory, and that the troubles in the
Punjaub continue unabated. The Ameer of Cabul is
said openly to have abandoned all idea of invading
Peshawur—moved chiefly thereto by the belief that we
are about to occupy the Ponjaub. Gwalior, and the
other places in which, little more than a twelve month
since, such wild disorder reigned, are all tranquil. The
kingdom of Oude is fast approaching that state of
anarchy and confusion in which it will become imperative
on our government to interfere in its affairs.
FIRE AT CALCUTTA.—The accounts from Calcutta
state, that on the 9th May a destructive fire broke out in
the office buildings of Messrs. Macvicar, Smith, & Co.,
which, with all they contained, were entirely destroyed,
books, papers, and all. The fire soon afterwards seized
upon the premises of Messrs. Somers and Co. adjoining,
which quickly shared the same fate. Here, however,
time was happily allowed for the rescue of the books,
Sec., and a portion of the property in the warehouses.
Messrs. Kilby and Co. also were sufferers, the flames
having seized their buildings, and done them some da-
mage. The total loss of all is estimated at about sor 6
lacs of rupees, including the buildings. These are com-
plete wrecks ; even the outer walls are tottering and fall-
ing. Such a thing has not been known in Calcutta since
it was taken by Surg-00-dowlah in 1756.
WEST INDIES.—The Medway steamer brings favoura-
ble accounts from most of the West India islands. In
Jamaica, however, the rains had fallen so heavily as to
inundate several parishes ; and the dwellings of the poorer
classes were, in numerous instances, considerably under
water. Several lives had been lost, and there was some
amount of property destroyed, and two or three hundred
goats were carried away by the flood. The colonists,
however, were in good spirits, as the Coolies were work-
ing well, and there was every reason to expect that, when a
larger number arrived, they would prove a most important
means of restoring the prosperity of the island. From
Barbadoes we learn that refreshing rains fell in the town
just before the packet left, and which, it was hoped, had
been pretty general in the country districts. In Deme-
rara matters were going on much the same. A meeting
of the inhabitants was to be held to take into considera-
tion the necessity of reforming the constitution of the
colony. The Roger Stewart had arrived with another lot
of emigrants from Sierra Leone. The East Coast Railway
seems likely to be prosecuted with spirit._ In Hayti

A long conversation, in which Mr. C. WYNN, Sir R.
PEEL, and Sir G. GREY took part, ensued, the result of
which was, that Mr. Parrott's solicitor was called in and
examined as to the fact of an action being brought. This
being proved, an order was made that the plaintiff and
his attornies should attend at the bar on Monday.
The LORD-ADVOCATE then moved that the house
should resolve itself into committee on the Poor Law
Amendment (Scotland) Bill.
Mr. OSWALD moved that the committee should be
postponed until that day three months. He reminded the
house that this bill had been sent to a committee upstairs,
and that many amendments had been made to it. It had
since been printed ; but the contents of it were so little
known to the people of Scotland, that he thought further
time should be given for them to become acquainted with
its contents. He admitted that something should be done
to improve the condition of the poor of Scotland, which
was disgraceful, but objected to the mode of assessment,
and considered that the community would not suffer by
the bill being postponed.

IRELAND,

_ .
Mr, ELLICE concurred with Mr. Oswald in his opposi-
tion to the bill. He wished to have local management of
the poor.

Mr. S. CRAWFORD commented severely upon the con-
dition of the district of Sutherlandshire, as exposed by the
Times reporter. What he most disapproved of in the
present bill was the clause taking away from the poor the
right of appeal from the Court of Session. It would de-
pend upon the Lord Advocate's determination to perse-
vere in moving that clause whether he should give his
clause his opposition,
..

Mr. Locx repeated his contradiction of the statements
as to the condition of Sutherlandshire. A lengthened
conversation followed, after which the amendment was
negatived on a division by 76 to 33 votes, and the house
went into committee. and clauses up to 35 having been
passed, the house adjourned.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY.
The Irish Banking Bill was read a third time and
passed ; and the Irish Jurors' Bill was read a second
time. _ _

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in moving for returns
relating to the coasting coal trade, said he feared that
this trade, which had been the great nursery of British
seamen, would be annihilated by the facilities given for
bringing inland coals to London by railway conveyance.
The Earl of DALHOUSIE thought such fears gnund.
less. By railway coals would cost d. tier ton per mile,
which, for 250 miles, would be 155., while seaborne coals
were carried from Newcastle fur 7s. 6d.
Lord H ATHERTON thought that coals would be carried
by railway at d. per mile, which, for 150 miles, for that
would be about the distance, would be only Bs. 3d. for
the entire carriage. He was desirous of seeing the me•
tropolis cheaply supplied with coals, yet would be sorry
to see the coasting trade diminished, as it was the means
of supplying our navy with the ablest seamen in the world.
After some other remarks from one or two other peers
the subject dropped.

sorship of Ecclesiastical History, and the Rev. Dr. Rus-
sell, the Professor of Humanity, has been selected to fill
the new chair. The late president, Dr. Montagu, has re-
tired, and a Dr. Renehan has been elected in his stead.
The Rev. Dr. Whitehead. a relation of Lord French, is
elected vice-president. We are informed that in addition
to those free places already existing, there are to be two
hundred and fifty more provided out of the increased
funds, which are to be thus allocated :—Ulster, seventy-
five ; Munster, seventy-five ; Leinster, fifty • Connaught,
fifty ! These are exclusive not only of the former free
places, but of private funds. The addition of several hun-
dred priests per annum to the stock of raw material, to
which the existing machinery was already adequate, is one
way of elucidating Archbishop Whateley's argument in fa-
I your of increased funds to Maynooth.
DEVASTATING FLOOD.--A frightful deluge (it could
be called by no other name) occurred on Friday to the
tract of country lying between Bcoadford and Glesco-
mera, a distance of nearly five miles. Such was its awful
violence, that it swept before it three bridges, two of
whose names we could for the present only learn, viz.,
Kilbawn and Ballymacdonnell. Flocks, herds, houses,
and tillage, including immense quantities of wheat and
potatoes, were alike victims to its ungovernable fury. It
swept by the old chapel of Kilbawn, and laid part of it
prostrate. Amid the general ruin we have yet heard of
the loss of only one life. Above 700 acres of meadowing
have been completely ruined, the mountainous waters
leaving mud scattered upon it, so as to render it perfectly
useless for the present season.—Clare Journal.

NOBLE FORBEARANCE OF THE ORANGE-
MEN OF ULSTER.

At a time when the principles of Protestantism in Ire-
land are virtually proscribed by Government, whilst
popery is fondled and fed—at a time when the protection
of the law may almost be said to be withdrawn from the
loyal and peaceable portion of the inhabitants—it is a
noble confirmation of all that we have said of the obedient
loyalty of the Orange body in that country to be able to
announce, in their name, that not all their persecutions
by the state, and the insults and menaces of the disaffected
opponents of their principles and faith will be permitted
to impel them to any conduct, on the approaching anni-
versary of their great deliverance, which can afford to
their enemies a pretext for any breach of order. The
" party processions act" ostensibly passed for the repres-
sion of all party demonstrations, but which has been
worked solely for the repression of demonstrations of
loyalty and Protestant strength, has expired. There is no
legal bar to the celebration in Ireland of the landing of
King William, or of the Battle of the Boyne. Yet,
though rebellion holds its orgies in the scenes of its past
defeats or triumphs—though Tara has its monster meet-
ing, and Limerick its display of bitter rancour towards
the Saxon—the Orangemen of Cavan and of the whole
of Ulster have determined that they will not follow the
evil example; that they will not verify the taunt of their
revilers by shewing that the stringency of the law has
alone restrained them. They will not afford a recreant
and apostate minister the pretext for further legislation
insulting to their loyalty, and thus hand him the cord by
which to fetter their liberties.

Unfeignedly we rejoice at this resolve. We point to
the example with pride, and ask of the revilers of the
Orange body to point to a similar one. Especially we
look with pride to the conduct of the loyal men of Cavan.
On Sunday week their Grand Master, Mr. Bell Booth,
was murdered in cool blood by a Ribbon assassin. And
yet even with this black deed fresh before their eyes—a
deed which, from the time chosen for its perpetration,
may almost be presumed to have been committedfor the
purpose of driving them to retaliation and outrage—they
are calm but firm, and defer the gratification of a display
of their principles and strength, to the wishes of the
authorities, and for the sake of peace and good order.
Shew us such a spectacle as this, liberals, if you can!
