INTELLIGENCE FROM INDIA AND CHINA. o _._. By the overland mail from India, received by extraordinary

express from Marseilles, we have received letters aml papers from Bombay of the 19th July, from Calcutta of the 8th, and from Ceylon of the 1st of the same month; from Candahar of the 19th, and from Jellnlabad of the 26th of June; and from China of the 27th ofMay. They afi'ord a'complete ex- position of the lying and dishonesty of the oflicials connected with the working of the French telegraph. Instead of the news from Afi‘ghanistan and China being most disastrous, as represented from vile stock-jobbing purposes by the French authOrities, it is, upon the whole, exceedingly favour- able. If Lord Ellenborough ever really intended to abandon Afghanistan in the disgraceful way pointed overland despatches, his excellency has abandoned that design, and has ordered an army ol reserve to (go-operate with the force in Cabul, to be formed in the district in_ Sir- hind, under» the immediate command of Sir Jasper Nicoll, the commander-in-chietl . and to be well provided With stores, ready to push at

This army is to consist of 20.000

rted. 'I‘he troops were on good terms with the natives,

who supplied them tolerably abundantly with provisions. Our extracts trom letters from Jellulabad will show that Guard Pollock 'was master of the country for teti miles around, and that the detachments sent out by him, defeated thssneiny in every direction. The o a s

who sallied out of the city to meet them, and by whom they Our only loss in Afghanistan is that of the Bella Hissai', which is reported to have been stormed and taken by Akhbar Khan in person. In blowing up the tower, by which an entrance was effected, a great number of the Khan’s followers were killed, owuig to their unskilfulness in firing the trains. Another rumour stated that the Khan was made prisoner in the town, which, if true, would be of the utmost importance.

General Pollock was Joined at Jellalahad by a reinforce- ment of 7,000 Sikhs, sent by the government of Lahore. This attests the good faitfi of the ruler of Punjaub, aml will

add greatly to the moral influence ofour army in Afl'glianis- . tall.

ollock was meditatinga march upon the city of Ca- bnl, the scene of our sad reverses in November last. As the distance was only ninety miles, he felt convinced that lie

~ could accomplish it without much difficulty. A simul-

taneous movement from Jellalabad and Candahar could very well be made with a certainty of success, and yet leave in these cities garrisons strong enough to defend them against any force at the disposal ofthe Afi'ghan chiefs. Such is the substance ofthe news frpm Afi'glianistan; which, upon

the whole, is so favorable as to warrant the conviction

that our arms will be yet more triumphant in that country

than they have been at any moment since the accession of

the unfortunate Shah Soojah. .We have decidedly inorefiivourable news from China.

The British troops under the command of General Sir Hugh Gough and Admiral Sir William Parker having, or. the 10th ofMarcli, defeated the Chinese army, commanded by General Yib, and taken the city ofChinhne, marched upon the city ofTsekee, near which another Chinese force ot'froni 8,000 40,10,000 men were strongly posted on some bills, command-

Generals Twan-Yutig, Yang, and Choo. ,Arrange- were made for an at ' ' v Woof ic Were ga an a

Y y . in person. Nothing could exceed the bravery of the troops. They contrived to surround the Chinese, and quite bewil- dered them. The carnage was dreadful, being ‘more a V' " than a battle. Ignorant ofthe laws of civilised ‘the poor creatures knew not how to surrender, and " cred. Not less than a thousand of them, inclu- t number of Mandarins, we’re killed, or drowned ., nsls; whereas ofthe British troops only three were

in t killed‘fifid twenty-two wounded.

The‘encampments, and such of the buildings as had been occupied by the enemy, were burned, and the grain maga- zines thrown open to the populace, who speedily emptied

them. On the 16th, the force moved to the Chanki Pass, in the hopes ofdestroying the remaining division ofthe enemy and capturing the treasure chest. A three hours’ march brought the column to the foot ofthe hills, where they found the position a remarkably strong one; dispositions were

minds to attack it, but as thev advanced they perceived that

the enemy had retreated, taking with them their guns and treasure. The works and neighbouring buildings were des- troyed, and, alter a two hours’ halt, the troops returned to Tsekeo, which they reached at night. All the villages on the route were deserted. The conduct of the troops is spo- ken ofas most orderly and forbearing throughout. On the 17th the whole force returned to Niiigpo. The Sesostris steamer had been despatched to Amoy to bring up 300 men of the Royal Irish from thence.

ISLE OF MAN AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. {Ii-om the Mark Lane Express, Sept. 5. )

On Thursday last, the second annual show of this impor- tant society took place at Ramsey. The dav was uncom- monly fine, and the show of stock, in variety and superiority, Was such Ins reflected the highest credit on the exhibitors. The spacious premises of Mr. Taggart, at the head of the Baldy road—havmg the most extensive and beautiful views

ofthe surrounding country—were admirably adapted for

the purpose; and the arrangements appeared to have been in every respect most complete. An extensive space was fenced and covered in us a yard, behind the premises, and around tlii space the stock were penned, numbered, and arrnnged in the most admirable order; ll large space being Iol'lppen in the middle compartment, affording the op or- tiinity of Viewmg the animals to the best advantage. he upper story of the building furnished at once the finest pros- pects ofthe country in every direction, and overlooking the entire show of stock, so that the ladies, who had a space there allotted for their especial accommodation, could, with the greatest facility, view the whole proceedings. About one ocloclt, the Judges had gone through their allotted tasks, when the public _were admitted. Amongst whom we ob- served present, his Excellency the Lietitenant-GOVcrnor,‘

I the Lord Bishop, and a large number of the most respects-

ble gentlemen from every quarter of the island. A large apartment at the western end of the building was Occupied

with a splendid show of roots, including many varietie of

the potato, turnip, mange! wurzel, 81.0., illustrative ofthe recent experiments on Guano, by Mr. Lyle, of the Onchan Nurseries; the other apartment afi'ording accommodation to the ladies, and containing a beautiful model ot'Mr. Tag-

ga'rt’s invention of a steam plough. This was an object of

much curiosity. The invention is one of considerable inge-

nuity, and as far as we could judge from a hasty examination, for practical purposes would be found to realize all the ex- pectations, and what are as yet, of course, the theories of the inveiitOr. For deep ploughin , and ultimately for expe- ditiop in ordinary descriptions 0 work, it may yet be pro— ductive of the most‘important consequences. There was also shown a fine specimen of a turnip-sowing machine. Many portions of the stock exhibited wars of first-rate excel- lence, particularly in the department ofvhorses, bulls, swine, heifers,_and Leicester sheep ; but where such general excel- lence was attained, it would almost appear iiividioiis, if not ‘imposlible, to particularize. .
