INDIA OVERLAND MAIL

The Overland Mail has brought intelligence from Cal-
cutta to the sth, and from Bombay to the 14th of October.
From the summary of the Bombay Times we extract
the following :—" The expedition sent out for the destruc-
tion of the villages on the Peshawur frontier appear to
have finished their work successfully, and they have now
returned to camp. Overtures are being made, it is said,
by the Ameer of Cabul to regain our friendship—the fatal
error committed by him of invading. the Punjaub in 1849,
has destroyed our confidence in his judgment as well as
in his influence amongst his own people, and half a
century will not be sufficient to restore us to the terms on
which we stood with Affghanistan up to 1837, if such
a thing should ever indeed be possible. A party of the
Russians are said to have taken Kokan, a petty and bar-
barous principality on the borders of Bokhara. Whethez
they amount to ten, a hundred, or ten thousand does not
appear, and the matter in no way concerns us. The re-
ports of Russian intrigue and agression obviously emanate
from the Russians themselves—they increase their im-
portance by alarming the timid and credulous—they gra-
tify the appetite for the marvellous and obtain employ-
ment for the native politicals and spies who disseminate
them. No one would have greater cause than the Czar to
deplore an advance of the Russians upon India, which
would dispel the delusion he wishes to maintain that we
are vulnerable and that he could harm us."
In the Nizam's country there have been considerable
disturbances, necessitating extreme measures against a
thousand Rohillah mercenaries in the employment of a
refractory chief. Every opportunity seems to have been
given these desperadoes to disperse, but they refused, and
brought signal punishment on their own heads.
It is reported that the Governor-General intends to
visit Madras and the Neilgherries in December or January,
and retire early in spring from an office he has adminis-
tered so greatly to his own honour and the public advan-
tage. It is said he will be succeeded by Lord Elgin, of
whom the highest hopes are entertained. . . . The
sittings of the Sarawak Commission have closed. Sir James
Brooke has been fully and honourably acquitted of all the
charges brought against him. His slanderers refused to
appear as witnesses, and some of those who subscribed the
petition confessed that they knew nothing as to the truth
or falsehood of the statements contained in it. This bottle
of smoke will cost the country some £lO,OOO or £15,000.

CONSE CRATION. &LIMBACH CHURCHYARD. The
Bishop of Chester consecrated the piece of land added to
the churchyard of the Parish Church of Sandbach, in the
county of Chester, on Friday last, the 17th instant. A
sermon was preached by his lordship on the occasion, after
which a collection was made in aid of the fund for paying
off the debt incurred by the restoration of the church, a,
portion of which still remains undischarged, and the aunt
of £57 and upwards was collected.

WE (Morning Chronicle) understand that it has been
determined to move for a prohibition in the case ,of the
proceedings instituted by the Archbishop of Canterbury
against Archdeacon Denison.
THE CONVOCA.TION of the Prelates and Clergy of the
province of Canterbury was on Friday prorogued in the
Jerusalem Chamber, . Westminster, pursuant to the
Queen's writ, by the Vicar-General, under a commission
from his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate
and Metropolitan, to Friday, December 15.
THE BRAINTREE CHURCH-RATE CASE.—An appeal to
the clergy and laity of the Established Church has just
been made by Archdeacons Hale, Sinclair, Jones, and
Grant, with the object of obtaining money to reimburse
Mr. Veley, who conducted the Braintree case on behalf of
the pro-rate party through eight suits to final failure.
" The cost of these proceedings," says the archdeacons,
" which were protracted from 1837 to 1853, a period of 16
years, amount to £2,378 lls. 4d. After deducting £7OO,
the amount of the subscription in 1841, before noticed, it
appears that there remains due to Mr. Veley, for money
actually advanced, or still to be paid by him, the sum oi
£1,678 lls. 4d., independent of an outlay of more than
£2OO for travelling and personal expenses during 130 dart
spent in the cause, for which sum, be it observed, he hasp
made no claim." The subscription is headed by the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London with £lOO
each; other prelates following with sums ranging between
£5O and £2O.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—MoNsy.—The dividends declared
for the present month indicate no decline in the amount
of business done by the City Banks. The Money market
at Boston is in easier condition. The banks show increased
loans, and specie and loans on prime securities are quoted
as low as 8 per cent. At Philadelphia the receipts at the
banks were very heavy, first-class paper selling at 102,
which is slightly under the New York rate. The heavy
payments of the 4th having been made without any seri-
ous failures, there will now be a little relief to borrowers.
The bank statement shows a decline in loans to the extent THE SOLITUDE OP THE DESERT.—I foundan unspeak-
