Via Trieste, on Wednesday, Geographic an
nouncement OF the departure of the overland mail
from Alexandra for Marseies was received and

count of the disputes with the Earl Of Dalhousie

the former would set out on his return in October.
The EarPs health had much improved. Affairs in
the PunJaub were quiet, but executions were very
numerous at Lahore. A sepoy had been shot by
the Afeedees; but there was no proof that any of
the chiefs were accessory to these acts of ndivi-
dual aggression, and the communication through
their country continued uninterrupted. A plot had
been discovered TO assassnate three British Off
GERS whist travelling from Peshawur TO Kohat.
Thirty nine SEEK prisoners had attempted to master
| the vessel conveying them down the Gauges.
They seized the murkets fthe guard appointed

| own designs. The mutineers had possession of
| the vessel tor some time, and, having obtained
| some boats from the shore, succeeded in effectng
their escape but before many hours elapsed, Sc

From the Nizam's dominons we learn that
another intestine war had broken cut in his capital
| the cUmbatants being some Gossens and 300 Ro-
hillas on one side and 1000 of the Nizam troops,
with guns, on the other. The Rohillas occupied
fortified building with thick mud walls, and, after
| having sustained, without loss a caDnOnade of
twenty-seven hours, during which they killed some
| fifteen or twenty of their assailants, evacuated
their fortress on condition that they should re-
ceive the amount of their claims and be exempted
from all punishment on account of their wild way of
obtaining justice. The Nizam's vassal, the Newab
of Elicbpoor, had defeated the force which his
lord had unJusliy sent against him TO dispossess .
| him Of his Jspbeers.
