INDIA. THE CALCUTTA MAIL.  ADKN TLLLGRAPH-OIFIC/L, June 10. The Calcutta mail of the 17th of May arrived here tins morning. The discontent manifested by the late Company's European troops is arrested. The new Five-and•a-Half per Cent loan is at 6 discount.  The spirit of dissatisfaction among the soldiers of the late East India Company at their unciremonioue transfer to the Crown has developed itself widely. At Meerut, where it was first iliaplayed, and where many men of the artillery and cavalry had to be put off duty, it seems to have given way to the humane and judicious measures of the Commander-in-Chief, Lord Clyde, who dictated a division order, reasoning with the malcontents on their untenable pretensions to the right of retirement from the army or re-enlistment with fresh bounty, directing their return to duty, and ordering • court of inquiry before which every man should have leave and opportunity to apcak his mind. At Allahabel, Berampore, Lahore, and Ilwalior, insubordinate demon. stratums have been made. the cavalry at tho first named station hiavimig gone so far as to lire in the air in the prelienre of their officers. Hitherto no violence has been attempted hy the malcontents, nor has it become necessary to employ force for their coercion, and from the example of Meerut and of Lahore, where the failure of diaeipline was but momentary, we may hope that after sulking for a while these dissatisfied men will give way to reason and return to their duty. Jlean while the poeidon is a very embarrassing one, and affords to the natives a spectacle by no 111C1111111edifying. The NADA i still at large, and believed to be somewhere on the borders of Oude andNepaul, together with the Ileguin of Ouile. The little rebellion of the Rana of Nagger Parker, in the cast of &Mae, the origin of which is still very oh,cure—one raport brings women into the case—has been suppressed with little trouble. Strongly posted on the hills behind the town itself, the coolies made a spirited resistance for mine time, till several of our men were woundeit—one of them mortally. They then broke and tied into the adjacent ravine., which afforded ready but only temporary shelter. They were driven out of the hills by a combined movement or. the 4th instant, but the arrangement for the capture of their chiefs failed I through a misapprehension of orders. Their camp was I found prepared for a prolonged resistance: and it is believed that the insurgent Bane had objects in view I beyond the redress of local or individual grievances, } though what they were even rumour does not venture to say. The Nawab of Furruckabad had been sentenced to be hanged; but it coins out on the trial that before his surrender a letter had been written to I by Major • Barrow, the special commissioner with the camp of his Excellency the Coinniander.in-Chief, in which be was invited to surrender, And that in this letter he was told that pardon had been extended to all who hail not persmelly coininitted the murder of British subjects, and that if lie had Ind personally committed the murder of British subjects he might surrender without apprehension. Ou the receipt of this letter he immediately surrendered. He now claims the fulfilment of the promise • of pardon, being found guilty, not of having personally co 'tted the murder of British subjects, but of having been an aecessury before the fact. The Governor-General in Council entirely condemns and disavows the act of Major Barrow, in making a promise contrary to the Royal proclamation and contrary to the express order of the Government, excepting the prisoner front all benefit of pardon.
