INDIA.  There is very.little news respecting the Persian war. Preparations were being made at date of our last advices, to embark a large part of the force fcr Mahamra, at the mouth of the Kuran—but the  operation was much delayel by the prevalence, of violent north-west winds which characterise the period of the year. The Persians were said to havb asseinbled in force. a second' time in the' neighbourhoOd of Bushire,- so that we may hear'of another expedition to. Borasjoon before long. We have had the usual amount; of stupid criticism, says the Bombay :limes, as to the military character of the last march, and if we are to believe some of the journals, General Outran] committed a "wild act of insanity" in; beating up the Persian Quarters and thrashing their troops ! Our metv.were in capital health and spirits, but forage and provisions continue scarce and dear.'  We undetttand that the new five .per loan is beingfast paid up, both at Bombay and in. Cal, eutta , The amount received into the trasuries up to April, could not - leSs. than 'lt erore of rupees. The whole amount required by Government, three crores, will be supplied before two months are over. • 'The-proposal to substitute a high court of justice 'in ,the presidencies; in substitution of ,the present Suddur and Supreme Courts, is received with extreme distrust throughout the country. Tile preposal iS.that five judges shall be appointed, two by the Queon and three by- the, 'Governor in. Council from the Civil Service.—and that they shall be reinovabre by the 'local government; pending' a' reference to the crown.  ._kmelancholy occurrence has taken place on the' Bengal side in the murder of Mr. B)ilean, deputy-commissioner. of Gonda, by the notorious Fuzl Allee, the Oude robber. The accounts of the aff,iir differ considerably, ,but it ,setes ,eertain that Mr, Boileau fell victim to his: own unheeding gallantry. The 'CalcUtta Englishman informs, us .that• the -Gover;lnie:t has directed the Chief Commissioner of Oude to make over charge to his Maje§ty's agents "of all the hOuses belonfir►g to the 11io0,-which _were taken= by tho,publie officers; and to rebuild at expense of Government, those which were brolien down or destroyed. The Englishman also states that one of the ExAmeers Of ;Sited .has unfortunately met with his  death in a shooting excursion in the§underbunds. He had wounded a tiger, and was prepaiing to finish him With a six barrelled revolver,-'which accidentally went cff, when pointed towards him self, and he was billed on the spot. • A serious attempt bad been made at 13ombay -- •  against the'lives 'ot six officers of the sth Regiment N. 1., including Captains Symons and Scott, Lieut. Brown, Dr. Trestrail, and two others. Some poison was mixed with the soup prepared for and intended to be taken by thorn, and it was not until one of them vomited, and the others felt severe pain from the effects of what they had taken, that the treache4Y became apparent', Several persons had been taken up on suspicion, and the soup had been sent for Medieal examination. All the offieerS were " doing well. • On the requisition of the most influential native gentlemen of Calcutta!, the sheriff of that place had called a public meeting on the 3rd April, to con-' sider the prOpriety of • supporting so much of •the project of law now before the legislative council of India as'refers to the extension of the criminal jurisdiction of the Mofussil courts to all classes of her Majesty's subjects, without respect of • religion, race, or place of birth, At a meeting of the Legislative. Council on, the 21st March, Sir James Colvile, on presenting the report of " the standing 'orders committee on the petition of British subjects resident in Calcutta and the Mofussil, not in the service of the, East India CbtnpanY 'against the new penal' code," moved that the'report be printed, and gave notice that he should move that it be adopted by the council, and
