OVEE LAND MAIL  INDIA AND CHINA.  (From the Times.)  We have received by our Fxtraordinary Express, in anticipation of the Bombay Mail of the Ist of November, our dispatches to that date. The affairs of the Punjaub continued in the same disturbed state. The Ranee or Queen-Mother continued to be the nominal head of the Government ; but she had since the assassination of her brother expressed her  willingness to retire, and even to take her son, the  boy-king Muleep Singh into obscurity, provided that a suitable jagheer were secured to them both. Old Ghoolab Singh continued to reside in his mountain fortress of Jainoo, and although the Lahore soldiers wished him to be Wuzeer, he did not appear desirous of as• suming that most precarious dignity. The Dusscra had passed over in quiet at Lahore, for the troops were masters, and had not wished to make more victims since the death of Jowahir Singh. The Raja Lall Singh had taken a part of the power from the Queen-Mother, but neither of them dared to demand vengeance on the perpetrators of the frightful assassination of the late Wuzeer. Of Peshora Singh, who was nominally a favourite with some of the troops, little was known ; the report of his being still alive had died away, and he was believed to have been murdered at the instigation of Jowahir Singh—a belief which subsequently produced the death of the latter.  The Governor-General, Sir Henry Hardinge, reached Agra on the morning of the 16th of October, having tra • yelled with great speed from Calcutta. He was to leave that station on the 28th, and to proceed to Delhi, where he would meet the Commander-in-Chief. The decision of the Government of India with respect to Lahore was not known—what course could with safety be adopted, unless by controlling the Siekh soldiery, it was hard to imagine. They would allow no Government to rule in that country; for any Wuzeer, or other authority, who attempted to counteract their will, was speedily sacrificed to their fury. It was not thought possible for the British Government to permit such a lawless soldiery to keep the frontiers in constant alarm. It was, therefore, considered highly probable that the Governor-General would propose some decided arrangements to the Lahore Government for the control of those soldiers ; and that the introduction into the Punjaub of the British troops would become necessary to enforce those arrangements. A conflict would then ensue, in which discipline and good order would soon gain the mastery over an insolent and turbulent military rabble. There was also a sect of religious fanatics in that country, from whose bloodthirstiness and hatred of foreigners much evil is to be apprehended. They are called Akbalees.  The attention of India was attracted towards the proceedings of the Governor-General, of the Commanderin-Chief, and of the 'British troops along the Sutlej. Some treacherous manoeuvring had been discovered at Ferozepore, where the Lahore Government agent had given permission for the passage over the river of ammunition and stores surreptitiously abstracted from the  British magazines. In Sinde tranquillity prevails. Sir Charles Napier was at Kurrachee, and had seen the 25th Regiment Bombay Native Infantry take their departure after five yeari' service in that province. He passed a high eulogium oil the regiment. The Bth Regiment Bombay Native Infantry was also about to proceed to Bombay from Kurrachee.  An association had been formed in Sinde under the patronage ,of Sir Charles Napier, for the collection of statistical and historical information relative to that  province.  In Gwalior the measures adopted by Sir R. Shakespeare had produced the best results in the pacification of the country. The finances of the Nizani's Government were in the utmost derangement, and it was feared that disturbances would arise in that country, which would compel the British Government to interfere.  The Madras papers mention that some slight opposi tion had broken out in the sirkars, for the suppression of which the 41st Regiment was proceeding by sea to that  district.  The surrender of Serampore was effected by order of the Danish Government on the 9th of October• The British flag was hoisted, and the Danish rule then  ; Satrrod—Thefts no change to police either- in" price or demand.
