From India the last mail brings nothing new or decisive.
The Madras contingent for Burmah has been despatched, and the claim of a Sepoy regiment not to be sent out of its own Presidency has induced one of the new Sikh levies to volunteer its services.

The anarchy in the Nizam's territory increases. The Guicowar—the accuser of Colonel Out- ram—sinks deeper into habits of sottish debauchery. From China there are no further accounts of the progress or fate of the insurgents in the Southern province. The deputies who exercise the authority of Sir James Brooke in his absence have at last fallen in with a nest of real undeniable pirates ; but on the Eastern, not the Western coasts of Borneo, many hundreds of miles distant from the scenes of the Rajah's exploits.
