THE BOMBAY MAILS.
Advces from Bombay by the overland mail are
to Nov. 9th, aud from Calcutta to Nov. 18th. The
Bombay Gazette gives an unfaYorable account of
the state of India. The European army is discon-
tented and part of it is mutinous.
The native troops are not to be trusted, and the
whole population is bitterly dissatisfied with the
government that has imposed the inc me tax. At
PoOnah several thousand natives had assembled,
and publicly torn up the income tax papers.
AT Bombay popular demonstration had been
made against the tax. The Bombay Gazette saws it
wants little to entirely stop the collection of
the tax. The Bombay press raises an outcry
against the shameful delay on the payment of the
Indian prize money.
The local army is also irritated by the delay in
issuing the details of the amalgamation with the
royal army. 1t will be penetrated in two years by
the railway from Bombay. A suttee has taken
place in Najpostana A band of rebels amounting
to about so, led by pandy, has been arrested in
Mexzar.
