INDIA AND CHINA.— THE OVERLAND MAIL. 
By the Overland Mail we have advices from Bombay of 
the 1st; Calcutta, June 29 ; and Canton, June 22. 
The news by this arrival Is scanty and of unexciting clia- j 
motor, if we except the intelligence from Cabul, from the 
faithful reporter of the Delhi Gazette. According to this 
authority the Czar was offering entire provinces for the aid 
of the Shah’s armies, to bo employed in harassing those of | 
the Sultan in Asia. 
The King of Avn is said to have renewed his earlier maui- , 
testations of a desire for peace. Our Indian possessions , 
enjoy a state of complete, and, it is hoped, well-grounded ■ 
peace. From Bengal it is reported that the indigo crop has 
been placed in considerable danger by heavy and continuous j 
rains. 
The Dutch expedition against Borneo has been successful ; ! 
Montrado has been taken. The Sumatra corvette has been 
destroyed by fire in the roadstead of Kema. The crew 
were saved. 
COLONIAL. 
Merchants’ Exchange, Halifax, August 3 . — [Per Tele- 
graph from Washington .] — The Colonial Reciprocity Treaty 
was ratified by the Senate yesterday, without amendment. 
No amendment was necessary as far as respects the American 
interests. The American Government always takes care 
of that in their arrangements with Great Britain. 
Alleged Privateer off St. Domingo. — The New York 
Herald says : — Captaiu Buckman, of the schooner Jenny 
Lind, from Guayama, Porto Rico, informs us that, a few days 
before he sailed, he saw a letter, received by A. Reed, Esq., 
the English consul at Guayama, from the British consul- 
general at St. John's, Porto Rico, giving the particulars of 
an attempt to carry off a British vessel by a pirate or pri- 
vateer. The vessel captured was a sloop, tobacco laden, 
bound from Port-au-Platt, St. Domingo, to St. John’s. 
She fell in with au armed schooner on the 28th ult., 
in the Mona Passage, and wa3 taken in tow and re- 
mained captive for thirty-six hours, when she was re- 
leased on the appearance of a ship and a brig. She im- 
mediately proceeded on her voyage, and arrived safely at 
St. John’s. The schooner is described as of about 130 tons 
burthen, with very raking masts, and painted black. She 
was armed with a long brass eighteen-pounder amidships, 
besides two carronades, and was well provided with small 
arms. Her crew was composed of seventy men, who spoke 
English. The only colour shown was a blue flag with a red 
cross. The consul-general cautions all British vessels to be 
on the look-out for this privateer or pirate, but which ho 
thinks is most probably of the latter class. 
Narrow Escape of Lady Rowe. — The Kingston Journal 
states, that while Lady Rowe, the wife of the Chief Justice 
of Jamaica, was sitting under the front porch of the 
mountain residence of Sir Joshua Rowe, during a storm of 
thunder and lightning, a large cedar tree was struck and 
split from the top to the root, and splinters of more than 
six feet long wrenched out of the centre, and one was thrown 
more than fifty feet from the tree. The lawn was covered

SlB, — I suffered for a considerable period from a 
severe attack of erysipelas, which at length settled 
in my leg, and resisted all medical treatment. My 
sufferings were very great, mid I quite despaired of 
any permanent amendment, wlieu I was .idvifdto 
have recourse to your Ointment and Pills. I did 
so without delay, and am happy to say the icult 
was eminently successful, for they effected a radical 
cure of my leg. and restored me to the enjoyment 
of health. I shall ever speak with the utmost con- 
fidence of your medicines, and have recommended 
them to others in this neighbourhood similarly 
afflicted, who derived equal benefit.
