CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK, During the last few days a moderate amount of business has been transacted in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars have fully sus tained previous values, while a slight advance has been established in the rates realised for good and fine descriptions of coffee. Tea has been without any material change in price, and the operations in rice and spices have been limited. For saltpetre there has been a more active inquiry at fall values, and the operations in tallow have been, to an average extent, at steady quotations for both present and forward delivery. An active enquiry prevailed for most descriptions of cotton in the Liverpool Market yesterday, and prices, in several instances, were again rather higher. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales. A large supply of gold, viz., £140,000, was taken into the Bank of England yesterday. The latest advices from Australia state that the following vessels have left England, viz., the Copenhagen, with £54,096, Prince of Wales £39,108, True Briton £129,196, and the Latona •with £29,628. The America, from Boston, has brought £2,000 in specie. There is a decrease of £2,758 in the traffic re ceipts of the South Eastern Railway, and of £2,077 on the Brighton for the past week. The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Thursday next a settling day in the Scottish Australian Mines (new shares), Yuda inamutana Copper Mining Company of South Aus tralia, London and South of Ireland Direct Tele graph Company ; and Thursday, the 24th inst., in the Alliance Bank of London and Liverpool, and th e Montes Aureos Gold Mining Company, and dealings in the first four are to be officially recorded. The Rio de Janeiro City Improvement shares fully Paid. are also to be marked in the official lists. Telegraphic advices from Turin state that the StAscription for the 20,000 shares in the Italian Ir rigation Canal Company, which were reserved for Italy, was opened on Friday, and that in three days the number applied for was 24,000. In conse quence of this intelligence, it is notified that the London list will be closed on Saturday next. The •hares are zl 5 ,- prem. The prospectus has been ussued of the Great Copper Lode of the Huacayvo Company, with a proposed c%pital of £200,000, to purchase some ex tensive and valuable mines, adjoining the State of Sonora, on the Gulf of California. The prospects of the undertaking are considered highly encouraging, and the shares are quoted =7 ; .2- prem. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK. A RUSSIAN LOAN.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.30 per £1 sterling. ° l l comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is bout 5-loths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4261 per mark, , itid the short exchange on London is 13.68 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 5 -10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 111; to 112 per cent., and the premium on gold %bout per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the im portation of gold from the United States. It is rumoured that Captain Gordon, M.P. for Berwick, is about to retire from Parliament in consequence of the feeble state of his health. With the exception of Frankfort, where the rate is 2 per cent., the terms for money arc now lower in Lon don than at any of the continental cities. At Paris the Charge is 3 per cent. with a downward tendency, at Ham burg it is 2/, at Brussels 3, and at Amsterdam 31. In consequence of the Government of India havin g advised the recommencement of the worke on the aubbulpore line of the East Indian Railway, the com 'Any are about to issue for that purpose £2,000,000 in .420 shares, with the usual guarantee of 5 per cent. These 2 hares will be denominated the H Extension Shares. A DEVONSHIRE SHOOTING Box FOR THE PRINCE or WALES.—It is understood (says the Western Morning News) that the negotiations which have occupied some time, respecting the purchase of a shooting box in Devonshire for I lls Royal High/less the Prince of Wales, are completed, and that a few preliminaries only are required to transfer Wer rington-park from the ownership of the Duke of Northum. herland to that of the future King of England. The park is an occasional residence of his grace, and lies about a mile a nd a half front Launceston—one portion of it is in Corn wall, but the seat is in Devonshire, The park is supposed to have b een in existence for about 600 years., and about t he fourteenth century was the pioperty of the great Or '44h, Duke of Devonshire.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Hazlitt.) IN RE ADAMS. This bankrupt was described as of Albany-street, Re gent's-park, coach builder, and this was an adjourned exa mination and application for discharge. Mr. Hclt supported. Mr. Aldridge, solicitor, opposed, on the ground that the bankrupt had not made a full disclosure of his estate and effects, for he had not paid into court £8 10s due from tenants for rent, and property of the value of between £lB and £2O; he therefore required the bankrupt to pay the money for the rent into court, and amend the schedule by inserting tae property. Mr, Holt said that if the assignees had a right to the rent they could go and get it. The bankrupt had nothing to do with it. Ee did not mean it offensively, but the bankrupt had really no control over the property, for the rent had not become due when the petition was filed in February, and the goods had been distrained on for rent. Mr. Aldrilge (to bankrupt) —Do you hold a lease of the premises ? Bankrupt,—.No, only an agreement. Mr. Aldridge—You have not returned that in the schedule. Mr. Holt--it is not property. Mr. Aldridre—ls he prepa r ed t o g i ve it . . - -- -- . Bankrupt—Yes ; now (handed m). Mr. Aldridge—l must press for an adjournment for the schedule to be amended. The bankrupt would have sworn to it had I not pointed out that he would subject himself to a charge of perjury. Mr. Holt—And I have taken upon myself the responsi bility of advising him to swear to those accounts, for the reason I state that no rent was due till the 25th, and he had no property. The Registrar—lt ought to have been inserted, and the case must be adjourned for the amendment. Mr. Stansfeld (official assignee)—Had it been we should have looked for what was due. Mr. Aldridge—This is a second adjournment, and I muse ask for costs. Mr. Holt—What, from a pauper. Costs for whom, there are no creditors. Mr. Aldridge does not represent any one. Mr. Stansfeld—He represents me. Mr. Holt—Surely you do not ask for costs. The Registrar—The case must be adjourned with costs. POLICE---THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET THIS DAY. DESERTING A FAMILY,—AN IMPUDENT FELLOW.— John Mills, a tall, shabby-looking fellow, was charged be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with deserting his family of three chil dren, and leaving them chargeable to the parish of St. George's, HanoNer-square. _ _ Mr. Baddeley, the overseer, said prisoner had left his family chargeable to the parish of St. George's, Hanover square, from July last to the present time. The prisoner b4d asked the authorities for £2O, and because it was re fused him he abonded. Prisoner said le made application for the money, and if he had got it he Should have taken his family away, but as he did not he, wlen he was out, stopped out of the house. He would even now take them out if any one would lend him £5O. Turner, the ofdcer of St. George's, said he had a deal of trouble in tracing the prisoner. He had been 50 times to look after him in different parts of the town. Mr. Tyrwhitt s.id that when the prisoner went away in the way he did, he gave up all chance of keeping his family. He shoed commit him for a month. A DESPERATE THIEF —George Davis, a fellow well known to the polite, was charged as follows : Mr. Frederick A.drian Rintoul, a warehouseman, living in Great Coram- skeet, said that on the previous afternoon he saw a large crovd in the Totteuham-court-road around a horse, which hal fallen down. There was a cry to the persons to keep hadc, as the horse was kicking violently. At that moment le heard a click, and on turning round saw his watch in the prisoner's hand, and a person in the crowd took it fromthe prisoner and handed it to him. George Cook, rgeant 4E, proved hearing a cry o f " Police," and a Jerson handed him prosecutor's watch, saying prisoner hal taken it. On searching prisoner, he found a farrier's klife on him. Barnes, the gaGler, said prisoner was charged some days ago with stealing k watch and assaulting a constable, but as the prosecutor cld not attend, he was committed for 14 days for the assault. Sergeant Franklin, 20 E, said he had known the prisoner for a long time as the companion of thieves.

THE e decision IiNI is In consequence of th which, if carried ou t, will necessitate the remova l o f t hi s tramway, great dissatisfation is felt by EGRi the m an y h un d re d s of persons who have been in the habit of using it as a cheap N comeliTo to N at T the A 3 lateNV trial at Kingston, and and expeditious means of transit between Westminster • bridge and Kennington-common. It having been announced that it was the intention of the opponents of the tramway to move at the next meeting of the Lambeth vestry that it be at once removed, a preliminary meeting of those inte • rested in its remaining was held last Saturday at the Horns, and it was then resolved that a public meeting of the inha bitants of the borough of Lambe tlashould b e held on Thurs• day next, with the object of petitioning the vestry against its removal, and for the purpose of taking steps to oppose the election, now close at hand, of any member of the vestry favourable to its removal. The g e neral feeling of the in habitants appears to be greatlyin favour of the tramway, and the most strenuous e ndeavours will be made t o p r e v ent its removal. Thi s f ee ling exists without any reference to the private interests of its promoter, Mr. Train, but solely on account of its great public convenience, the public being able to ride by this tramway for 2d, the same distance for which, previous to its introduction, the omnibuses charged 4d., FOREIGN MI Australian BonAccord Copper,Lim.

COMME:NCEMENT OF EASTER TERM. • This being the first day of Easter Term the Lord Chan cellor entertained the Judges, her Majesty's Sergeants, and Queen's Counsel at breakfast, at his mansion, in Belgrave square. After the entertainment the Judges proceeded, in pro cession, to their respective courts in Westminster Hall, where a great number of persons had collected to view the proceedings. The Judges wore their State robes, and the Sergeants and Queens'Counsel also appeared in full forensic costume. The term is expected to be a very busy one, both in law and equity. There is a list of 99 cases in the Divorce Court. Sir Cresswell Cresswell will sit on Wednesday at West minster for motions, not being able to sit to-day for the want of accommodation. The term is extended five days on account of the holidays, and before its expiration on the 12th of May it is expected that the arrears of the common law courts, numbering about 200, will be reduced. By an order which will take effect te• day, every special case, special verdict, and bill of exceptions, must be divided into paragraphs, and confined to a distinct portion of the subject, and numbered. The business of the equity courts is not in arrear. EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITIES. The Egytian Museum at the Louvre has just re ceived a donation as remarkable for the beauty of the objects of which it is composed as for the rarity and scientific interest attached to them. This pre sent is from a young and learned Polish traveller, Count Tyskiewiez, who collected the objects during his researches in Egypt. The first class comprises 140 bronzes, among which 76 small figures are par ticularly remarkable for their beauty. The represent the various gods of the Egyptian Pantheon, and their fine state of preservation allows the gold in laying which so much enhances the value of such works to be properly appreciated. The small figures of the gods Anhour, Phthah, and Cnouphis, and of different goddesses, are fine specimens of that kind of workmanship. Most of those objects bear inscriptions, which leave no doubt as to the name of the personage represented. Some of those divi nities.are very rare or even quite new to science, and several others, hitherto only known by paint ings, are wanting in French collections. In itiat class may be mentioned a large snake in bronze, 283 inches is length, a god with the head of a cro codile, and a personage whose head is surmounted by a star. The collection of Count Tyszkiewics con tains a great number of scarabees, in hard stone ena melled. All these small objects supply fresh infor mation for science by either furnishing variations of the names of Kings and Princesses, or a history of personages who had performed an important part under some of the Pharaohs, and thus deserve a place in history. There is also an ivory palette for a scribe, furnished with its reeds, and with two cakes of red and black ink, scarcely touched. The reeds are cut at each end, one for the red and the other for the black ink. A knife of yellow bronze is remarkable for its fine form and for its keen edge. Work in precious or hard stones is represented by three small ob jects of great beauty, and may serve as points in the history of the art, as each bears its date. The most recent is a square amulet in green spath, which bears the name of a functionary in the time of Osorchon 1., who reigned in the ninth century be fore the Christian era ; the head of the goddess Hathon is engraved in relief on this object. A pendant of a necklace, the material of which re sembles chrysoprase, represents a Nile goose lying down. The lower surface beans the name of the Princess Neferou• ra, daughter of Tontines 111. This jewel was, therefore, cut at least 1,500 years before the Christian era. Engraving in relief on hard stone was, however, executed i❑ Egypt at a much more distant period, as is proved by a small square amulet in sardonix, bearing at the back the name of knemtre Ili. of the 12th dynasty. This King, who is well known as the founder of the famous labyrinth, belonged to the powerful family which covered Egypt with its monuments from Tanis to the bottom of Nubia, before the invasion of the Shepherds. At the back part of the amulet the King is represented as throwing an enemy. This scene and the Royal motto is incised. On the other side is engraved, in relief, an Egyptfan named Harbes, seated before an altar. Notwith standing the small size of this sardonix (about half an inch), there can be clearly recognised the style peculiar to that fine period of Egyptian art. There is also among the collection a fine specimen of a coffin lid, in yellow varnish; an earthen cup, enamelled in brilliant blue ; and a wooden footstool, of a simple form, but valuable for its preservation. Prince Ignace Zagull, the travelling companion of Count Tyaskiewicz, has added to the collection a funeral papyrus in hieratic writing, and which is worthy of a place in the museum from its fine con dition.—Galignani's Messenger. TRAFFIC IN YOUNG GlRLS.—Yesterday, Mrs. Gallagher, well known not only in Liverpool, but in Lon don, Birmingham, and other large towns and cities in the country as a procuress and general dealer in houses of ill fame, &c., was sentenced by the Recorder of Liverpool to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour for keeping infamous houses in Houghton and Tyrer-street, Liverpool. THE SHRIEVALTY OF LONDON AND MIDDLE SEX..—It seems likely that there will be a contest for the shrievalty of London and Middlesex on the 24th of June, During the next year of shrievalty the Prince of Wales will come of age, and it is not improbable that some honours may be conferred upon the civic dignitaries who are in office at the time. From among the livery two gentlemen have announced themselves as ambitious of the honour, namely, Mr. Hillary Nissen, of Mark-lane, who has been for the last ten years a member of the Court of Common Council for the Ward of Tower, and Mr. Hugh Jones, citizen and spectacle-maker, of Wood-street, Cheapside. Other candidates are spoken of. SATINGE-BANKS.—In 44 years the Nation al Debt Commissioners have received from the savings-banks and friendly societies of the United Kingdom, for investment in Government securities, sums which, together with the interest that has accrued on them, have amounted to £87,959,385, and they have paid back to these banks and societies £44,149,852. They have also received from savings banks and parochial societies in the last 28 years the sum of £2,457,139 for the purchase of small Government annui ties, not exceeding £3O each, for the industrious classes ; of this sum £242,451 was for deferred annuities. The fund in the hands of the Commissioners in respect of military sav ings banks consists of £313,277 Three per Cent. Stock; two years ago it was £41,000 less, A LANDLORD SUED FOR ILLEGALLY DISTRAIN 'No.—At the Manchester Court of Record, on Saturday, before Mr. Sergeant Atkinson, the case of Dearden v. Bailey was heard. The defendant is a house agent, and in November, 1861, he let to the plaintiff (a widow lady) a house in Bury New Road, at an advanced rent. On Friday, the 14th of February, a quarter's rent was duet amounting to £4 10s., and on the Saturday the defendant called for the money. Mrs. Dearden, the plaintiff was ill in bed at the time, and her daughter told the defendant so, and said the money should be paid on the following Monday. A few hours later, several menracting under the defendant's orders, came to distrain upon the goods. They surrounded the house, knocked at the doors in a rude manner, and one of them having forcibly effected an en trance through a window, admitted his companions. The action was brought to recover £5O for unliquidated damages, for illegal distraint, and for entering the plaintiff's dwelling.. house after sunset, and removing various articles of fund ture.—After the examination of three witnesses, and upon an intimation from the Judge, a verdict for £lO was given by mutual consent.

Mr. G—, considering himself aggrieved by some re marks made by Mr. S— to his banker, demanded an apo logy by letter and word of mouth, threatening personal chastisement on refusal. Mr. S— refused to apologise, and on this Mr. G-- struck him while in the news-room. Friends promptly interfered, but before the parties were separated Mr. G— carried off as a trophy a porticn of one of Mr. S—'s whiskers, which he afterwards stuck on ono of the new slates, appending a notice, "This is Mr. S—'s whisker." Of course this was removed at once by the employes of the news-room committee, and great regret was expressed that both " gentlemen" were not at once handed over to the custody of the police. GREAT FIRE AT FALMOUTH —The buy little seaport town of Falmouth has just been the scene of a terrible conflagration, which threatened to destroy the principal part of the borough, and which has resulted in the total destruction of thirty houses, together with a large amount of property contained therein, and entailing the greatest distress on many families. The fire broke out on Ludgate-hill, it is supposed, in the store at the back of a grocer's shop, about one o'clock on the morning of Saturday. The wind was blowing strongly from the har bour at the time, and the flames rapidly spread to the houses on the right and left, and ultimately to those on the opposite side of the way, Ludgate -hill being very narrow and ancient. The fire quickly assumed such magni•• tude that it became manifest that to extinguish it was hopeless, and all efforts were therefore concen trated to the limiting it to as small an area as possible. With this view four houses were pulled down, one on either side at both ends of the street. These measures were so far successful, and the loss was limited to twenty-six houses burnt and four pulled down. Prompt steps have been taken to relieve the immediate wants of the bouseless families, and their pecuniary losses will, in some measure, be met ulti mately by the insurance offices. The Sun, Alliance, and County are, it is believed, the companies most largely in terested. DEATH FROM STARVATION .—An inquest was held on Saturday evening at the Lord Wellington Tavern, Three Colt-street, Stepney, before Mr. Walthew, deputy-coroner for East Middlesex, on the body of a child n ame ee :am"" Altham, aged 3 years. The mother of the deceased that her husband was a house-painter, living• had any Alpha place, and in consequence of his not l h fa a in vr i n ly g had been in a d stated em ployment during the winter the whole family had often been state of the most abject poverty.

Dr. Maskell, who made a post mortem examination of the body, said the organs were all healthy but perfectly bloodless. The body was reduced to mere skin and bone, the stomach Was quite empty, and there could be no doubt that death had resulted entirely from starvation. After some observations by the deputy-coroner on the melancholy facts of the case, the jury returned a verdict of" Died front absolute starvation." THE MOSQUITOES' OF MARS.EILZES. As Sou are dropping off to sleep, there comes sr you from the outer darkness s blast of a fiercely blown little trumpet, which vibrates in your ears like the note of a very shrill musical glass ; and, if you are at all familiar with the sound, drives sleep away at once. The first thing to be done is to shut the win dow, and in the course of this operation you damage your fingers with that combination of crank and lever employed to fasten windows in France. Your temper is thus dangerously roused, and with towel and lighted taper you go forth to battle determinksd to spare neither age nor sex. ' In the blindness of your wrath you murder a couple of innocent sleeping flies, and smash a late spider who is hurrying home to bed up the wall; but of the enemy you can see nothing. He is in ambush, however, watching you, for no sooner are you in bed and the candle out than he returns to the charge. Then you think of trying a stratagem, and letting him settle before you attack him. After a prolonged fantasia in some thing unusually sharp, the music comes to a sudden i stop, and you prepare to steal out your hand for a match, when sting! goes his stiletto into the corner of your left eyelid, and instinctively you deal your self a thwack on the adjacent organ that for the moment produces the effect of a final burst of fire works at C remorne. Surely you hit him that time you think ; but you didn't, and he comes down upon you again a s soon as you are quiet ; and so with sortie s an d re t reats and severe punishment about the f ace — an d per h aps, if have mosquito curtains, a diversion created by setting fire to the house —the night drags on until at last, wearied out and fairly beaten off, you bid him bite his best, and fall int o a dogged 'doze and dream that you are being i pursued d own very deep steps on account of the informality in yo ur p assport, b y . the whole French army, wh . len somehow chang es into a cloud of mosquitoes just as y ou are getting away. Bat the sorest trial comes with the morning light. The field of Waterloo on the morning of the 19th was not a more touching spectacle than that which your glass presents to you. Left ey e nearly closed ; eyelid pendulous, looking like a little sack of currant jelly, and forcing you to regard nature with a wink fixed and rueful ; forehead all over bumps like the crust of a pigeon-pie or the surface of a common where the moles have been burrowing. Nay, more than this. There are yet other woes in store for you; for is th ere no t an unusua l feeling about the tip o f y our nose ? S ure l y t h e accursed insect cannot have violated the sanctity of that sacresacred feature ? And y e t, now t h at you come to look at it, there does seem to be something wrong; it is far redder than it has any right to be in a person of your strictly temperate habits, and viewed side way, there is a decided bump on the end of it. This is the cruellest blow of all. Now, you think you could have been happy with a closed eye and a knobby forehead. What is even a black eye to a nose that is gradually assuming —for you do feel it swelling—the dimensions and colour of a tomato ? There is something rudely heroic about a black eye; it may have been received in the defence of beauty and virtue, but the expression of your unfortunate countenance is simply comical, and here you are condemned to go [stout for at least eight-and-forty hours (supposing you Theft get bitten again) with bitterness in your heart, irritation in your skin, and a physiognomy as grotesque as a pantomime, mask.—Frassr's Vagazine for April. THE COMMANDER-IN -CHIEF OF INDIA Accustomed as India has been tocommanders-in-chief of the type of Sir Wm. Gomm, the spectacle of Sir Hugh Rose laying aside all state and travelling courier fashion over 600 miles of as wild and barren a frontier as the world can pro duce, is too remarkable to be passed over without an attempt to chronicle his movements. It is well known that for many months he has intended to make himself personally ac quainted with our Trans .Indus border, and that a journey from Peshawur to the confines of Scinde formed an impor tant part of his projected tour of inspection for the winter of 1861-62. It was always his intention, with reference to the known character of the country, to travel with a reduced escort and staff, but it was only after his arrival at Pesh awur, and after consultation with Brigadier-Gen. Chamber lain, that the exact form in which the journey should be made was determined on. The simplicity with which it has been thus far conducted is remarkable. Not a single tent has accompanied his progress. Each day's journey, averag ing from 30 to 50 miles, has been performed on horseback, with an escort of a duffadar and five troopers of irregular ca valry. He has depended for shelter and refreshment each day on the scanty resources of the frontier officers, and the re sult has been tilt t he has seen more of frontier life and sys tem in a few days than if he had paraded through the dis tricts in ordinary state for as many weeks. Sir Hugh Rose, after completing his inspection of the troops and posts in the Peshawur valley, rode o ver from Peshawur to K ohat,through the pass which formed the scene of Sir Chas. Napier's brief campaign in 1849.50. He arrived at Kohat on February 3, halted the next day, looked at the troops, consisting of a battery of artillery, a regiment of cavalry, and three of in fantry—all of the Punjab Irregular force, examined the fort and everthing worth seeiag, and on the 6th commenced his arduous ride to Mittuncote, accompanied by Brigadier- General Chamberlain, commanding the Punjab Irregular force, Major Roberts, V.C., Assistant Quartermaster -Gene ral, Lieut.-Col. Sarel, Assistant Adjutant-General of cavalry, one aide-de-camp and the staff officer of the Pun jab Irregular Force; six officers in all. The officers com manding the several stations and districts on the frontier had received orders to provide relays of cavalry or artillery horses, and of riding camels and mules from the regimen tal establishments, for the very limited baggage of the party. Seven camels and nine mules were foand sufficient for the latter purpose. The frontier officers had• also been warned to have either tents or houses according to circum stances prepared for the party at each resting place.

It stands on the very edge of the British territory, facing a remarkable natural fortress, in the shape of an enormous hill, called the Infidel's Castle, about 15 miles beyond the border, and sees in reverse the low line of hills which separates the Wuzeeree country from the valley of Bunnoo. Through this range the Korrum finds its way, and issuing into the plain fertilises a portion of the Bun nou Valley and thence passes on to join the Indus. On the morning of the 6th the Commander-in-Chief rode through a dery difficult, and, until late years, dangerous over defi thle, called walledurteheeree Tull, or pastureakP and grdtohunend of theceonto Bunnnomadsoo Wuzeeree tribe, for a full description of which we must refer our readers to the pages of Colonel Edwardes's book. At Bunnoo he was entertained by Lieutenant-Colonel. Green and officers of the station. On the 7th he halted and. looked at the brigade, consisting of a battery of artillery, a regiment of cavalry, and two of infantry, all, as at Kohat, of the Punjab Irregular Force. On the Bth the Commander in-Chief rode on between 30 and 40 miles to Paharkheyl, a village at the mouth of the Bhaim pass which leads through the low range of hills dividing Bunnoo and Murwut from the plains of the Derajat, a defile which has only lately been reclaimed from being utterly dangerous and impassable without strong escort. , T lon e nd n ei ta ao at .8 f htt o hdh r ecr t o h mt e w p p ole. a x r i t . y oTn h hs ad eaGr h .intl n : s ls en is t on to Paharkheyl from Bunnoo.

On the morning of the 13th the detachment of the 51st Light Infantry was put through a searching inspection, and, this done, the Comma nder-i- Chief galloped off to look at a bund or dam in course of construction six miles above the station, which, it is hoped, will divert the stream of the Indus to the oppo site bank, and thus save the town from destruction, which last autumn appeared imminent. In the afternoon a grand durbar was held, and 170 individuals of various rank and degree were presented to his Excellency. On the 14th, the Commander-in-Chief rode out 38 miles to Drabund, a vil lage on the extreme frontier, opposite the pass of the same name, end facing the grand mountain of the Scrolymnnhrtaiungee, called " Solomon's throne."
