INDIA-OVERLAND MAIL.  We (Times) have received by our regular semimonthly express from Marseilles our despatches from India in anticipation of the wait, which left Bombay on the 2d of March. They bring the intelligence—happily now usual—of the preditlence of tranquillity in our Indian provinces; yet there exist strong probabilities of disturbances breaking out in various districts. There is evidently much dissatisfaction prevalent in Lahore. The Queen Mother and others are busy in intrigues. A conspiracy has been discovered, which had for its object the murder of Tej Singh, who is looked upon as the friend of the British. The Queen-Mother and her son Dhnleep were about to proceed upon a pilgrimage, but prevented by the interference of the British Resident, Colonel Lawrence. Their departure from Lahore was intended to produce a grand movement amongst the disaffected. From Jamoo we learn that Gholab Singh is ruling his new subjects with a rod of iron. The insurrection in the Hazzareh, or mountain districts, has been put down. In Moultan, the Moulraj, as if enraged at the sums demanded from him by the Dewan of Lahore, is levying the most oppressive taxes. His oppressions, like those of Gholab Singh, will speedily create a desire in those districts for the establishment of the British rule. Cashmere and Moultan, as well as Lahore, are likely ere long to belong to the dominions of Great Britain, for the inhabitants groan under the hated yoke of their native Rajahs and Nasicos. From Peshawar we learn that the bands of ransomed Indians which the British Government has obtained from Dket Mahomed had crossed the Indus at Attock. There is said to be a great scarcity of money at Cabal. Dost Mahomed remained there in quiet, while his Wuzeer and son, the notorious Akhbar, was restless, and hurrying from one place to another, as if agitated by some powerful motives. He was in December at Candahar, whence he took one of his uncles as a hostage, and brought him to his father. In Jan he, having returned to Cabul, had set out for Jellalabad. All these movements at that season clearly show that he is involved in some important schemes. He has caused a number of his adherents to assemble at Jellalabad with the ostensible purpose of an attack on the Ghilsies of Kashmund, the son of whose chief he wishes to have as a hostage for the good conduct of the father. The winter has been unusually severe in the north of India. Snow to the depth of three feet had fallen at Simla, and abundant rains had fertilized the plains, and given promise of an abundant harvest in the jullunder and other districts. The Governor-General, who was moving through the north-west provinces on a tour of inspection,was expected at Meerut on the 221 of February. He has punished several and rewarded others of the "protected Sikh chiefs" for their conduct daring the late war. It was expected that he would be joined at Meerut by Mr Thomason, the Lieutenant-Governor of the northwestern provinces, in order that they might confer together respecting various improvements which were suggested. The Commander-in-Chief MIS at Saharampoor, whither it was thought the Governor-General would proceed, on his route to the hills, before the commencement of the hot season. His return to Calcutta is not expected for some months more. The death of the King of Oude took place on the 13th of February; but such were the activity and good arrangements of the resident, Colonel Richmond, that his eldest son and successor was placed on the throne without any of the disturbances usual on such occasion. All was quiet at the time of the death of the one and enthronement of the other. From &hide there is nothing new. The marauders of the Boogtie tribes, who had begun their forays near Shikarpore, having been attacked and repulsed by Jacob's Horse, had retired to their hills. Nothing was said of their further attempts. Sir Charles Napier was at Hyderabad, and &lode was as tranquil as any province of India, notwithstanding the withdrawal of the great portion of the Bombay regiments which had been stationed there.
