THE OVERLAND MAIL.  The arrival at Malta of the Borysthew, French steamer, on the 22nd instant, brings us intelligence in anticipation of the mail. From the summary of the Bombay Times of the 28th April we cull the following items of news :—A little physical commotion has saved our columns from presenting the total blank of intelligence to which our profound political tranquillity would otherwise have reduced us. On the 6th and ith instant, a succession of shocks of earthquake was experienced over nearly the whole of the Puojaub, and so on to Simla; the mischief occasioned by them does not seem to have been at all considerable. Casual storms begin now to make their appearance in anticipation of the south-west monsoon. Heavy rain fell on the 4th all over Lower Bengal, and about the same date there were sharp thunder-storms at Madras and Ceylon. On the 18th a violent storm was experienced in the Arabian Sea, and serious apprehensions are entertained for the fate of the Queen steamer, which has since then been missing.  The only single case of disquietude within our dominions we Kaye heard of for sbrne months past is another outburst among the Moplahs in Malabar. With this triflinfr, exception, the most profound peace prevails through every part of India. The latest news from Burmah is to the 2nd inst.; every thing was then quiet. Some of the local authorities had paid a visit to Bassein to examine the proposed site for the new town of Dalhousie, and the result is said to have been its entire condemnation. Fires had been very prevalent, and so much rice had been destroyed that it was feared the price of this article would be raised. A soldier of H.M.'s 84th Foot had been murdered, and two Burmese have confessed to having participated in the murder, and offered to point out others implicated in the bloody deed. The King of Oude has got so far as Benares, on his way to England, in quest of the redress of his wrongs, urged to the measure. much against his inclinations, by a band of grievance-mongefs proposing to plunder him. Oude meanwhile enjoys the most perfect tranquility, not the slightest appearance of discontent on the change of masters have manifested itself.  General Sir James Outram has been suffming so much from indisposition t hat he is about to start on six months' leave of absence to Europe, Ali Moorad, chief of Khyrpnor, is now in Bombay, on his way to London, like the King of Oude, in quest of redress for his wrongs.  The ship Clairvoyant, from Calcutta for Madras, struck upon a reef to the southward of the Seven Pagodas. She made so much water that it was deemed prudent to run her ashore to prevent her from sinking, and it is feared that with the first rouch weather she will go to pieces. The ship Cairngorm, from London, in coming into Bombay harbour last Monday morning, got upon the Prongs, near the light-house, about daybreak ; it was nearly low water at the time, and she was safely towed off by the Hon. Company's steamer Gulnare. Seen as the sun rose, she presented an appearance singularly similar to that of the ship Castlereagh as she stuck fast on the same point on the 19th of June, 1840. Luckily for the Cairngorm, she had the north-west in place of the south-west monsoon to deal with, and so escaped pretty nearly scatheless. The Castlereagh was dashed to pieces where she struck.  In the market, business in imparts is dull, and prices declining. Exports are quiet, and prices of cotton steady, with a fair amount of transactions going forward to China  Freights are firm, and looking up. Exchange is declining rapidly, our money market belng easier, with a slight im provement in all descriptions of securities.
