India and China.


Advices in anticipation of the Overland Mail
reached London on the 4th Sept. The dates are
Bombay, July Is, Calcutta, July 7, and Delhi,
July No accounts have been received from
China OF later date than those published in our
last paper The following is a brief summary of
the news contained in tho papers which we have
received by this arrival:-
| The rainy season continued, and the fall was
such as to satisfy those who desired much of that
most valuable element in India, water. Tran
qullity prevailed throughout the whole of that
continent.
The cholera had lessened its ravages at Kurra-
chee, where it destroyed several thousand per-
sons during ten days. The troops had lost about
q fourth of their number Every praise was be-
slowed upon Sir Charles Napier for his kindness
and attention to the sufferers Only two officers
had died, namely, Captain J. b. Seton, of the
| Bombay Fuslers, and Lieutenant Dawson, Of the
| 18th Regiment of Native Infantry.
| From the Punjaub there Is no news. All was
quiet there. The Governor-G General and Lord
Cough wereat Simla, where the rain was falling
in torrents.
The departure of Sir George Arthur from the
| Government of Bombay was fixed for the 9Th of
August. A long continuance of ilhealth is the
| cause of his retirement Mr.. l.. B. Reid, the se-
nior civil servant in the Bombay Council, was to
! succeed him until a Governor nominated in Lon
don shall have arrived There is a hope express
| ed that the Court of Directors will grant Sir
| George Arthur pension.
| We have had another arrival by extraordinary,
express from Bombay, bringing letters and papers
from from 5hh hat place to the on a OF August Madras
| Scinde, July 20. special steamer had been des-
! patched with Sir George and Lady, Arthur, and
| other additional parties, occasioned by the pro-
tracted indispositon of the Governor. There is
little news Of interest by this mail the following
| is all that we can find worth extracting:-
| Sir George Arthur left Bombay for Europe on
| the 9th of August, the Hon. MIR. Reid succeeding
| him In the government as temporary mea-
sure. The Governor General and Lord Cough
continued at Simla, whittier all the politcals
| on the northwest had been summoned to a
\ m ault hat dos had NOT tram
| PRED Messrs. Lawrence and Greathed, and
Majors Lawrence, Mackeson, and Mills, were
at the hills with Lord Hardnge at the date of la.
test advices and were not to dsperse till the end
| of July. This is, we think, rather ominous, es-
| pecially when taken in cornexion with the report
| of the intended assemblage of an army on our
| northwest frontier in November. Maharajah
Gooaub Singh, whom we raised to the rank of
| Independent Sovereign Of Cashmeer, for consi-
deration, is said to have refused payment of the
indemnify money agreed upon to be paid by him
| on behalf OF the Lahore Durbar, and to have
threatened to resist any attempt made TO compel
him to perform his engagements. Can the army
| about to be assembled be meant to chastise the
insolence and treachery Of this base villain The
| chief of the Mooan was determined to assert his
independence of the Punjaub ruler, which would
| probably, cut out some work for the Governor of
| Scin De and mis- army. The Lahore government
was as far ever from being firmly established,
but was understood to be anxious to get rid oil us
Our troops would, most certainly, not remain
longer in the country than originally agreed upon,
turn. The upshot will be. that ere twelve months
come round, we shall be obliged to take the coun-
try into our own hands entirely
| The cholera had nearly left Kurrachee, but
had manifested itself at Hybrabad, where Lieut..
Campbell, 18th Native Infantry, had been cut off,
whe Captain John Napier, 62d Foot, on the Co.
yernor's Staff, had been cut off at Kurrachee.-
! The 18th Foot had suffered so much at Suk-
| kur from fever, that it was reported in
Bombay that they were to be sent either
to England, or to the Cape. The returns Of the
| received by last mail turn out TO have been near
| ly double what they ought to have been. About
five hundred Europeans in all had pershed India
was quiet throughout, and generally healthy. The
monsoon had proved a most favorable one. up
wards Of eighty inches OF rain having fallen at
Bombay. The money markets were somewhat
easier, and it was expected that brisk trade
would commence on the opening OF the season.
