BY the Indian mail OF the lst of January, letters
and papers have been received to that date from
Bombay.
British India is tranquil. and likely TO continue
So. The great clamor against Lord Peterborough
| hod subsidized, and his lordship growing very
popular
sents that country far from being tranqulllized
1t appears that Goab Singh, the elder brother Of
Dhyan Singh, old Runjeet's favorite minister, who
was assassinated in September last, had come from
his mountain Businesses at Lahore, under pretence
of supporting his nephew, Heera Singh, who now
governs there, under the name OF the young Sove-
reign Duleep, and that his arrival had not produced
scrbed as giving large sums of money to the COM
mon soldiers, in order to retain them in some or
| der, while his uncles busy in pundering the
treasures of the Sikh government, and carrying
away the Jewels and articles Of value to the noun
tains The state of the country is described bor
| dering upon anarchy
| The Afghan government is as feeble as even in
| the hands of Dost Mahomed, and intrigues are
ahoat of various kinds. In the midst of these in
| trigues Dost Mahomed appears to be unable to
make the contemplated attack on Peshawur, al
| though it is no Logger defended by the European
Generals of the Lions of Lahore. All the French
officers have left the service of the Sikhs, that it
is highly Jprobrble the boosted prowess OF those
troopsee will soon become little more than the cou-
| rage of rabblc, if Akhbor Khan, who is governing
Jee abad with the greatest cruelty, should dare to
attack the Sikh provinces to the west of the Indus
1t is doubted by the Afighans themselves that Dost
| Mahomed, or his son will make attempt on Pc
| shawur.
| The arrangements of Lord Peterborough for the
subjugation Of state of Gwalioa have been highly
| successful.
| The sickness in Scinde continued to be the
! source of great comment. The government APP
peared reso we'd in retaining the country, which is
| now tranquil.
At Sukkur there had been much sickness, but it
| appeared to be diminishing.
The Army OF Excise was ready near Agra, under
| the orders OF the Commander-ln-Ch Chief Sir Hugh
Cough. The first brigade, led by General Valiant,
was ordered to move towards Dhoopoor, half way
to Gwalior; it marched on the 18th, and the rest OF
the armo moved in the same direction on the fol-
| lowing day. The Intelligence reached GwaliOr,
and produced alarm.
The young Rajah who was chosen to be heir to
the last Sovereign by the Bhaee, took refuge in the
camp of the Governor-G General. who is now com.
pletely master ofthe whole kingdom. 1t ls hoped
| by many ofthe most enlighteney men In India that
| his lordship will now adopt the plan of removing
from the wretched peasantry tee horrible yoke uh-
der which they have long groaned :.
| The success OF Lord Peterborough at GwaliOl
will, it is expected lead him soon to settle the in
| trlcate question of the Punaub.
| At Bombay the cold season is advancing rapidly
| An immense amount OF shipping has OF late arrived
from England seventy vessels, varying from $40 to
| 1900 tons, having come into port in the course OF
the month. Freghts have, in consequence, de-
| cned rapidly. Trade generally, in fact, is dull
| and little business doing.
| China.
The intelligence from China comes down to the
| LIST of December. Little had occurred worthy OF
notice subsequent to the fires which consumed the
factories on the 18th of October.
| The markets at Canton had become rather more
| favorable. The British consus had arrived at Annoy
and Shanghai, where trade dull, as the arrange
| ments were then completed. The Chinese autho-
rites at Ningpo,, declined granting permission tor
the importation of goods there until the consul had
| arrived, and the duties were settled. They are
said to have been alarmed by an imperial
chop, which they had received from Pekln, or
dering that business should be carried on unless
| of government without squeezing the inhabitants
had conciliated their attachment, and they appear
ed to regret the approaching departure OF the Brit
| ish troops. Some Americans, as if counting a
excursions into the interior this practice had pro
cured from the British Plenipotentlary declara

no means countenance such proceeding ant
that orders should be given to the consuls t.
