ROYAL NORTHERN LUNATIC ASYLUM. _ REPORT by the COUNTY COMMITTEE, as presented to ble General Meeting of Subscribers, held within the Castle of Inver- Less, upon the 14th November, 1845. The increasing prevalence of lunacy through the county of Inver ness, and the obligation upon the local authorities, to confine at the expel of the parish of domicile, all persons thus dangerously . ted, compelled this project as a matter of ordinary prudence, and apart from all consideration of general philanthropy. Accordingly, at the.. Annual County Meeting of the 30th April, 1343, the project I submitted to the public. It was resolved to endeavour to afford the ' benefit of the Inktitution to all the northern counties, standing, they did, under circumstances of equal necessity ; and a Committee ^as circumstances aPpointed to solicit subscriptions on this enlarged and general ~_clie n g. They commenced their duties ; but circumstances for some eel were adverse ; and they had the deep misfortune to lose, almost et the outset of their labours, one of their most influential, zealous, and valued members; by the sudden death of Mr. Fraser, of Newton. Leerily alive to 'the true benevolence of the undertaking, he was lending it the liberal assistance of his example and of his energies up • to the period of his death ; and that melancholy event naturally l ffeeted, for a time, the exertions of those associated with him in the e • ounnittee. Thus the project remained in temporary abeyance. But h seemed soon evident that unless active measures were again ,re sorted to, there Could be no reasonable anticipation of a successful u e. A public meeting of the heritors, magistrates, and clergy, was sailed accordingly, upon the 10th day of December, 1844, and the necessity of an immediate canvass was admitted, and pressed upon t Acting Committee. They undertook the task.- The funds at that date amounted to 1,5001., and to-day they stand on the list as 4,7051. This sum is almost entirely the result of private contribution; for O nly one parish, that of Dornoch, in Sutherland, has entered a sub scription, and only one public bode, the Caledonian Bank of Inver ness,_ has given a contribution ;— the parish of Dornoch has taken one Zaire of 211. ; the Caledonian Bank has given a subscription of due ▪ undred guineas. Apart, indeed, from these two sums, the contri butions have been entirely from the hand of private benevolence. The town and neighbourhood of 'lnverness have given most liberally, and many of the districts of the county with an equal hand. Under rry trifling exceptions, - the Committee. have, as yet, been prevented ore prosecuting their solicitations throughout the northern counties. 4,▪ Yeral, however, of the most influential proprietors of the north are a mongst the contributors ; and this circumstance warrants the hope t hat the eanvase which is to be immediately commenced may be suc ,sssikii. The Committee, through two of their number, have applied for subscriptions in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, and London, eonfining, unless in one or two instances, their application to t hose connected by birth, or profession, or trade, with the northern rinties. They regret to say that they failed in many quarters here they had the best reason to anticipate success ; but, again, Pere were-instances where the claim of enlarged benevolence , apart any local feeling, was willingly admitted. There were indi 'duals who appeared to consider it a privilege to have an opportunity t i f contribiting 'to *an object tending so obviously to alleviate the Miseries of the poor. s uch, then, is. •the amount of the realised funds, and such is the Retiree from which they have been to a very considerable degree de rived. The Committee have no hesitation in stating to the sub 'embers their belief that the subscription will be soon considerably ._Mlittnented. An important addition may be reasonably anticipated "ote the northern counties, and•the result of an influential communi eation with India may be looked for with confidence. In closing this Part of the subject, the Committee ;have to mention that,whilst in- London,. they had the advantage of communicatin g with the Lord Advocate upon the proposed scheme ;—that his Lordship became keiself a subscriber, and that he obtained for the Institution the ! b enefit of the royal patronage. It is hoped that such royal counts • 'lance may be the means of assisting the subscription in directions Where otherwise it might not have penetrated. In any event, it in vests the undertaking with an additional interest and importance, and guarantees to the public an efficient constitution and management -- requiring as it does that that constitution shall receive the approval f the high officers of the Crown. „ i ns Committee have made it their endeavour to obtain the best "' v ice as to the site of 'the proposed- •Institution. They have re quested the assistance of Dr. Malcolm, of Perth, a gentleman emi nent in the treatment of the insane, and whose opinions were me tiers(' during an extensive continental tour amongst similar institu ns, preparatory to the erection of Murray's Asylum , in the neigh hood of Perth; with which he has been from its erection, and , Intimately connected. He selected four sites as eligible — one h e property of Mr. Baillie, .the proprietor of Culduthel ; another °* t that of Mr. Mackintosh. of Raigmore ; a third at the Hut of _teeth, on the estate of Ines ; di and a fourth on the lands of gtarleston, the property of Mr. Baillie, of Dochfour. With the first of t• hese proprietors, Mr. Baillie, of Culduthel, the Comm ittee have u se_ in communication ; but the terms of feu demande d b y him are Suite impracticable, • and therefore the site upon his property adjoin ing the Quarry, and close to the marsh with the Itaigmore lands, is o ut of the question. The Committee have also communicated with k r. Mackintosh, bat without any r esult—that g entleman requiring to know from them the amount of feu that will be given, and the 'ollunittee naturally enough begging to be informed what is to be e ked ; And here the negotiation stands with Mr. Mackintosh. Of ;verse it will be the duty of the subscribers immediately to open s• ommunieation with Mr. Robertson, of Inches, and Mr. Baillie, of "oehfour, and thereafter to select from , those equally eligible sites tit Which may be obtained upon the most el i g ible terms. en these circumstances of realised funds and anticipated increase, ne County Committee have considered themselves required to delay Ro longer the commencement of the Institution. The necessity for b a erection is every day forcing it self upon their attention. The num 7 of lunatics confined at the expense • of the several parishes is every .77 increasing, and the oper ation of the New Poor-law Bill must l atessarily add to the number. That Eill directs a course by which reluctant parishes may be compelled to the hnraanity of providing li ifficient accommodation for their lunatic poor ; but it affords no t he towards securing such accommodation. The more stringent ~ obligation upon parishes , th e more important to them should be ''a e erection of a local and inexp ensive Institution, such as that pro- Med. This is obvious, and will un doubtedly force itself upon the - `teratanding of all such burdened parishes. The Committee, impressed wit h these im p ortant considerations, .... aminit their proceedings to the general subscribers, and suggest Zit, without any delay, the necessary s te p s should be taken for the ei ganisation of the Asylum. They cannot close the account o f their p roceedings without ex eing the obligation under which the Institution is placed to se e`:„M a 1 gentlemen in the south connected with this part of the country. p,.,gow, Mr. Leith, formerly inspector of the Caledonian Banking 1 - bsePany, most efficiently assisted the can ; and in London the c▪ ae beneficial office was with equal liberality discharged by Mr. Z . . s •ekenzie, American merchant, and by Mr. Macgregor, of Cheap ;. To To Mr. Young, of The Sun newspaper, the cause is eminently ~._beebted, for the liberality with which he uniformly admitted the --'ele„lmarY advertisements in a free and prominent access to the co -elm of his important journal.

I UNIVERSAL GAS-LIGHT COMPANY. PRELIM INARY ANNOUNCEMENT. Capital 100,0001., in 5,000 Shares of 201. per Share. Deposit 10s. per 1001. Shares, in accordance with the Act. (Provisionally Registered.) Under the Management of a Provisional Committee. CONSULTING CRIMIST — Profesor Ryan, M.D., LL.D., Royal Col lege, Portsmouth, and Royal Polytechnic Institution.

SECRETARY—Mr. William Nicholson. Offices of the Company and Working Factories, 159, Drury-lane. The Company is formed for the purpose of carrying out, more ef fectually working, and bringing into general use, an invention se cured by letters patent for an improved manufacture of gas. The apparatus is so portable it can be fitted up on any descrip tion of building, even at a kitchen range, without affecting the do mestic arrangements, and the fire used in ordinary in generating the gas will be ample to produce steam for warming the most extensive premises. The most eminent engineers and chemists unite in opinion that the Invention Is not only practicable and free from smell or annoy ance, but by this valuable patent is secured the manufacture of a pure and superior gas, not only on new, but sound, scientific, chemical, and mechanical principles, which have been hitherto overlooked in the common modes of manufacture ; besides, this gas possesses more of the illuminating power, and will burn longer, than that now in use, in the proportion of 40 per cent. in favour of the invention. Ihe patent method is applicable o lighting generally, but more especially small towns, villages, lighthouses, colleges, churches, dock yards, theatres, public offices, prisons, barracks, railway stations, manufactories, printing-effices, madhouses, hospitals, and schools, &e., and warming the buildings, without extra expense. Thd benefits which. would accrue to lighthouses, dockyards, and numeroue localities, where the ordinary gas cannot be conveyed without the formation of many new Acts and Companies, or at im mense expense; would be sufficient to obtain for this Company the most prominent and prosperous position. The great saving to consumer, the small portion of room requi site for the erection of the d'eParatus, the simplicity of its working, and the brilliancy of the gas, will insure the adoption of the invention throughout the kingdom ; an d alth O ri h the public can be supplied at a price which wilL defy comtition, tii!l Compa n y can confidentl y pe hold out to those disposed to become sharelielders a return upon their capital of not less/than fifty per cent. The Company being far ad vance d , w ill b e I n a sittlation, when fully registered, to take contracts imm e di a t e ly. Applications for shares, in the usual. form, to be made to, and further particulars obtained of, the Solicitor, and also the Secretary, at the Company's offices, where may be seen the apparatus at work, and the brilliancy of the gas exemplified.

(From the Ore:land Bombay Times of Dec. 1, 1845.) SUMMARY.—lntelligence of a warlike character was received yesterday from the Punjaub. The Seikh Go vernment, it appears, have become incensed at the re ported intention of the British authorities to appropriate the territories on this side of the Sutlej, and have urged the soldiery to march towards the river, with the view of repelling the expected aggression. By the last ac counts some cavalry had actually proceeded in the direc tion indicated, and though opinion was divided as to the policy of the movement, more men were expected to follow. In the meantime strng measures of defence have been adopted at Ferozepore, and as Sir Henry Hardinge may now calculate upon having a well-dis ciplined force of some 50,000 men it his command, there can be little fear of the result, whatever c ourse the reckless spirit of the ,Seikhs may impel them to pursue. Ghoolab Singh remains at Juin boo ; the Ranee continues to conduct the affairs of state ; and the army has been separated into three divisions, and placed under the respective com mands of Sirdar Tej Singh (the ex-Governor of Pesha wur), Raja Lall Singh, and Sirdar, Jewun Singh. Lall Singh is very unpopular. Several deserters from our army have been taken into the Seikh service. Our news from Sinde is of a favourable complexion, the troops continuing healthy, and the country tranquil. Islam Khan, the Boogtie chief, is said to have surren dered himself to Captain Tabor, at Shanpoor. Sir C. Napier was to leave Kurrachee in the beginning of De cember on a tour of inspection. The proposition for an exchange of territory with our ally Meer Ali Moored is before Government. Nothing positive has yet tran spired in regard to the conspiracy recently discovered at Gwalior. An official investigation into the circum stances is still, it would appear, going on. The kingdom of Oudh and the dominions of the Nizam seem to be still vieing with each other in the ex tent of their internal mismanagement, and the de gree of oppression to which their inhabitants are subjected. The Nizam continues to struggle with pecuniary difficulties, which not even the practice of unparalleled extortions can overcome. There is no in telligence of striking interest from Affghanistan. The matter in dispute between Lieutenant• Colonel Wallace and Captain Le Grand Jacob has been referred for the investigation and decision of a court of inquiry at Bel gaum. Amongst our local incidents we may mention that the Malay who committed such frightful butchery a short time since, by " running amuck" in the native town, is to be tried at the criminal sessions of the Su preme Court, which commence on the 3d instant. Cap tain Curtis, of the Ist Lancers, a most active and intel ligent officer, has been appointed superintendent of po lice. Mrs. Deacle, of the Calcutta boards, is about to open the new Bombay theatre. We hear that a colli sion took place at sea, about eleven o'clock on Saturday night last, between the steamers Sir James Carnac, Cap tain P. Duverger, and the Parsee, Captain Grisdale ; the former was on her passage to Tankaria Bunder, and the latter returning from that port laden with opium and treasure, to the amount of 315,000 rupees; (31,5000 The crew and passengers of the Parsee were all saved, but the vessel and cargo went down on the spot. The Carnac returned to Bombay yesterday morning. PRICE D. and recommended that the following should be appointed Commander-in-Chief, viz. :—Sirdar Tej Singh, Sirdar Jewun Singh Toshekhaneea, and Raja Lall Singh. The second was declared "Lord Jungee Khoord," or junior commander in -chief," to whom were allotted twelve battalions, - with directions to proceed towards Peshawur, and take military charge of that district. Sirdar Tej Singh received the title of " Lord Jungee Kalan," or senior com mander-in chief, under whom were placed all the Acen troops, with tho command of Kussoor and I'llEll2or, while Raja Lall Singh was declared " Lord Moolliee, " with charge of the cavalry and the income and expenditure of the army. The Ranee undertook to discharge the ethics of wuzeer herself, and to govern the country in the name of the Maharaja. The aspect of affairs now grew suddenly warlike. Some deserters from the British camp were taken into service on good pay, and some Zu meendars from the north bank of the Sutlej, who offered to undertake a foray into the British territories, received from Dewan Deena Nath an assurance that their proposal would be laid before the Government. On the 9th the cavalry were informed that Lall Singh had been appointed their commander, and this, it is said, " pleased some of them, but was a source of di., , satisfaction to a considerable majority." Information at rived that Ghoolab Singh had returned to ‘Jamoo, and that owing to a reduction of the pay of his troops great numbers of them had quitted his service. This was deemed a favour. able opportunity for the exercise of a little royal authority, and a purwannah was accordingly issued directing the Raja to repair forthwith to Lahore. It was not supposed, however, that this order would be obeyed. The prospect of hostilities at first greatly elated the troops, and they stated that "if only permitted to cross the river, they required no pay or gratuity from the Sirkar." The impression that war was about to take place became at this time so general that people actually began to remove their property to safe places, for fear of loss ! The subjoined are the arrange ments said to have been agreed upon "in consequence of the repor ed advance of more British troops to the banks of the Sutlej".— " Twelve battalions of infantry, six regiments of cavalry, and four battalions of artillery, to proceed to Kussoor. Six corps of infantry, three of cavalry, and two of artillery, to encamp at Phulloor. Further, that four battalions o f infan try. two Zumboorkhanas, and 5,000 irregular troops, should proceed to Ilurree ke Goozur. This would leave four corps of infantry and two of cavalry available for service towards Peshawur. The four battalions of infantry, with 2,500 ca valry, at Jesrowta, have been directed to hold themselves i n readiness to march to a place opposite Rooper as soon as they should receive an order to that effect. The Sirkar has also issued orders to the troops to the following effect i—first, that they are to keep themselves ready to march; secondly, that no demur of any kind is to be made when the order should be given; and thirdly, that the whole, when on march from the capital, were to obey the instructions of Sirdar Tej Singh, who would be appointed commander-in-chief." On the 10th some Zumeendars from the south side of the Sutlej made their appearance at the durbar, and offered to do their best "to invite the people to oppose the Bri tish." The Ranee is said to have replied that " for the pre sent it would be better to keep quiet, but as soon as their services might be required their promise would be remem bered." On the next day the battalions of Mewa Singh, annd Ghoolab Singh (not the Jamoo chief) with the Dhera Court Sahib, were selected far the march to Kussoor; and considerable excitement appears to have prevailed amongst the troops, some of them saying that as soon as the order was issued they would proceed with such celerity as to dine in Lahore, and drink the customary draught of water after the meal on the other side of the Sutlej. The order for the return of the Jamoo Raja to the capital was now counter manded, and he was told that "there was now no imme diate necessity for his coming to Lahore, and that it would be more expedient for him to remain in the hills and keep the people there in order." On the 12th further accounts arrived of the mutinous conduct of the troops marching to wards Peshawar, who, it appears, had expelled several:of their officers and killed another of the number. The Rajah of Pattialah, one of the "protected" states, sent to say that he was being "greatly annoyed" by the British authorities, and that troops ought to be sent to his assistance: it was be Rho had dispatched the last batch of Zumeendars, and "it was certain that the moment the Sirkaree troops crossed, the whole country would rise against the British." It does not appear what notice was taken of this communication. Some troops were to have marched on the 13th, but owing to an eclipse of the moon, and the approaching close of the month of Kartick, the movement was postponed. A little vacillation and wavering, too, began now to be perceptible. A report gained circulation that the order to march was a mere ruse, to get rid of the troops while Raja Lall Singh should be pub. licly declared vizier; and it was resolved that, should this be the case, " they would nevertheless insist on having the golden bracelets." The uncertainty of the soldiery as to the arrangements actually in contemplation appears to have been somewhat further increased by an attempt made by the Sir kar—but which failed—to get the Khas troops removed from Lahore to Peshawur. Notwithstanding all this, an actual movement took place on the 14th, in the direction of the river, on the part of some cavalry who were formerly under the command of the late Raja Ileera Singh. We subjoin the account given in the Delhi Gazette of the proceedings on this day 2 " Ncrv. 14.—The battalions of Khan Singh, Man, of Ghoolab Singh, Provindeea, of the Dhera Masran, Walee and of. the Dhera Court Sahib, were ordered to send out their standards this day to the encamping ground. The first and last only obeyed, and prepared themselves in every respect for a start. Similar orders were issued to a large body of irregular cavalry, with assurances that they should receive their pay the moment they had reached the Sutlej. As soon as they should have been paid they were to cross the river into the territory of the Sirkar Khalsajee, and there await further orders. These preparations lead many people to be lieve that the war is actually impending, whilst others main tain that the real object is to get the army from Landre, and then make certain contemplated arrangements. In the after noon the cavalry of the late Raja Heera Singh marched from the capital in the direction of the river. The Aeen troops have further resolved that, "although troops were assembling •in large. numbers on the other side of the Sutlej, yet there was no pretext for fighting ; and that if any neces sity arose, they could easily reach Ferozepore in one day." It will thus be seen that the troops are decided in opinion as to the necessity of an immediate march against the British forces; and we think, judging from the want of unanimity, that no very formidable act of aggression is likely to occur. The Britiilt authorities appear to have acted with much caution and vigilance. Owing to the threatening aspect of affairs, ',the 63d Bengal Native Infantry were ordered to halt until further orders. Four companies from other Bengal Native Infantry regiments, two squadrons of the Bth Irregular Cavalry, and two guns from the European Foot Artillery, were sent from Ferozepore, in order to meet and protect convoys which were expected to arrive in charge of 20 lace of rupees. Orders were issued to fill the horse artillery ammunition waggons, and to serve pouch and spare service ammunition at the shortest possible notice. One thousand five hundred bearers were expected at Ferozepore daily. The 33d, en their arrival, were to be stationed at the ghaut, on the Sutlej, for protection, with a company of Sappers and Miners of the bridge of boats. We may here mention that there are now nearly 52,000 troops (exclusive of the police battalion), besides ten Horse Artillery batteries, and nine light field batteries, on their way to the north-west frontier, a force fully adequate to any object which Sir Henry Hardinge may have in view. The Governor-General left Delhi on the 19th ult. The Viceregal camp, says the Delhi Gazette, will be at Kurnaul on the 26th, and Umballah on the 2d December, and unless any detention should be occasioned by the Governor-General and the Commander in Chief, the camp will be at Feroze _pore on the 20th December. The Commander-in-Chief ar , rived at Umballah—was there on the 21st, to see the troops on brigade exercise, and resumed his march towards Kurnaul on the 22d. The meeting of the Governor General and Com mander-in-Chief was to take place on the 26th.

CHRISTMAS TOASTS. ANECDOTE. A company of friends, on Christmas Day, Were drinking toasts together, so they say; Some toasted to companions o'er their glasses, And some proposed " A Health to all good Lasses ;" Some drank - to Queen Victoria on her throne, And nothing scarcely did they let alone. At length a worthy gentleman got up, While in his hand he holds a " sparkling cup." And thus, midst breathless silence, he proposes A hearty toast—to whom ? Why, Messrs. MOSES. " The toast (said he) which I propose to you " Is one to which we must full justice do ; " I feel assur'd I should not do my part " Unless I drank success to MOSES' mart : " Look ! look ! (quoth he) at MOSES and his SON, " Consider what a deal of good they've done. " There's not one gentleman in all the room " Who is not drest in MOSES' choice costume ; " Hence I with confidence propose (said he), " That we should drink this toast with three times three." With this the ientleman resum'd his chair, And all approv'd of what he'd stated there. But stop I you've not heard all the anecdote ; A gentleman of literary note, Took out his pocket-book, and pencill'd there A song—and sang it to a well-known air. 'Twas quickly done; and as it is not long, We beg to give a copy of— THE SONG. Let us toast the success Of the monarchs of dress — E. MOSES and SON, of the City; Let no one be mute, (For each has a suit), Bnt let us all join in the ditty. Many savings we've won By MOSES and SON, Many capital bargains we've made ; They deserve to be prais'd, While triumphantly rais'd To the loftiest post in the trade. May MOSES and SON, (As they ever have done) Win the pnblic in one mighty host ; And at each Christmas season, May all have good reason To propose their success with a toast. LIST OF PAWLS.

THE PUNJAUB. The news from the North West, which extends to the 14th ultimo from Lahore, and to the 18th from Ferozepore, is of very serious consequence, the probability of a rupture between the British and Seikh forces being now stronger than has ever appeared since the departure of the Governor General from Calcutta. Indeed, unless the courage of the turbulent troops in the Punjaub should ooze out at their fingers' ends on the prospect of hostilities, it is impossible not to anticipate, before long, the commencement of a " Lahore Campaign." We have no space for a detailed narrative of the events which have taken place in the country of the five rivers since the date of the tidings sent home by the last mail. The subjoined succinct account, however, will doubtless prove interesting to the English reader. The last intelligence from Lahore reached to the 25th of October. Resuming the thread of the story at this date, we find Raja Lall Singh, the paramour of the Ranee, in triguing against Sirdar Jewun Singh, the favourite of the late brother, the murdered vizier, and prevailing on her highness, on the plea of fraud, to suspend him from his office, and impose on him a fine of a lakh of rupees (10,0001. ). The attachment of the troops to the Sirdar, who had treated them with kindness and consideration, prevented the execution of the mandate for his suspension. With respect to the fine, he appears, Seikh-like, to have at first thought of paying it out of the public treasury, but on this design being trustrated he handed over a fourth of the amount and demanded an examination of his accounts, de daring that he was innocent of the offence imputed to him, and was unable to give more. He was then, it is said, placed under surveillance, and ordered to remain so until he should prove the honesty of his transactions or pay the balance of the tine. About this time news arrived that the troops at Pesha wur had become refractory, and that some regiments on their way to that province had created great disturbances, killing their commanding officer, and confining several others. The flame of rebellion seemed also about to be kindled in the neighbourhood of Jearewta. It was affirmed too, that Raja Ghoolab Singh had sent off his family and a great deal of his treasure to time various forts beyond ammo, and that he had himself proceeded in the same direction, with a view of in specting his strongholds. On the 29th of October the Maharaja and the Ranee, with their suite, took their departure for Umritsir, attended by Sirdar Tej Singh, Raja Lall Singh, and other principal officers of the state, and accompanied with a strong military escort. On the following day a purwannah or royal missive was dispatched to Ghoolab Singh, demanding payment of the " eesafa' for somo territory near Wuzeerabad, and threaten ing the resumption of the land if the requisition were not at once complied with. Several sepoys who had been dis charged by the Raja as untrustworthy, arrived on the 31st at Lahore. _ _ _ _ The Ranee had no sooner reached Umritsir than an at tempt was trade to dispose finally of the vacant office of vi zier, and this was done—of all ways in the world—by lot I The name of Lall Singh was drawn, as a matter of course— the Ranee having taken especial care that matters should not be managed fairly. Owing, however, to some representa tions made by Tej Singh, the khelut (or symbol of investi ture) was not, immediately conferred upon him; and the in telligence of his selection, on reaching Lahore, occasioned great excitement amongst the troops there, who, as usual, talked very loudly of golden bracelets and gratuities. The Seikhs at Umritsir were also averse to his appointment, chiefly on the score of his intimate connexion with her High ness. The Ranee, during her stay, visited Govindghur, end naturally enough wished to obtain some of the treasure se cured there, in which, however, she was opposed by the officers and men in charge, who said that there was an order by Runjeet Singh, prohibiting the removal of money from the fort, except in case of necessity, such as "war against a pub lic enemy." Her Highness eventually obtained ten lakhs, which were expended in completing the payment of the troops. The Court left Umritsir on the 4th, and arrived on the 1 next day at the Shaleemar Gardens. News awaited the Ranee of a victory at Jesrowta, of which place the state troops had succeeded in gaining possession. On the 6th a polite coinmuication was received from Ghoolab Singh, " assuring the Sirkar that his anxiety to make it worthy of acceptance (l) was the sole cause of his not having as yet sent his Dusserah nuzzurana, and that he would not delay the same much longer." Dewan Moolraj, the Nazim of Mooltan, another defaulter, not having been shrewd enough to forward a similar courtly apology, was ordered to be threatened with unpleasant measures if he did not at once send in his present to the durbar. Raja Lall Singh now entered on the performance of the duties of vizier, under the immediate sanction of the Ranee, but without possessing the confidence of the troops or their leaders. The astrologers having recommended the Ranee to post pone her return to the city until the end of the month of Kartick, the Court still remained at the gardens of Shaleemar. A durbar was held here on the 7th, when it was made known that intelligence had been received, " speaking positively of the intention of the British authorities to take possession of all the Seikh territory belonging to the Sirkar on their side of the river ;" where upon a deputation from the troops was directed to be sum moned, in order to consult with the officers of State as to the measures proper to be pursued. The deputation attended the durbar the next day, when a three hours' conference took place. "The Sirkar," says the correspondent of the Delhi Gazette, "represented to them that in consequence of the varied nature of the intelligence received from the other side of the Sutlej, from which it appeared that the British were inclined to break the solemn treaty by which they had bound themselves to the Seikhs, it was necessary that the whole of the troops should be prepared for any emergency. To effect this it was absolutely necessary that responsible chiefs should be nominated by the Sirkar to the command of the troops, SINDE. The intelligence from this province is comparatively scanty, and discloses few points of interest to the home reader. It would seem that Islam Khasi, a Boogtie chief, who escaped to the northward on the discomfiture of Bejar Khan and his associates, has at length consented to surren der himself to Captain Tabor at Shahpoor. The day ap pointed for this purpose was the 20th ult. ; but although he had sent his seal to this officer as a pledge of his sincerity, it was doubted by some whether he really intended to come in. Good accounts are given of the health of the troops at Sukkur and Shikarpore. A north-west Contemporary intimates that General Hunter was expected at the latter place on the 10th ultimo, and that it was supposed, from this movement, that the General would remain an additional year in Sinde. Kur rachee, by the last accounts, continued perfectly healthy, and the European denizens were looking forward with pleasure to the setting-in of the cold weather. The station is a good deal enlivened by amateur theatricals ; and the "Sinde Associa tion," the rules of which have just been published, bids fair to become an object of interest both to the casual visitor and the permanent resident at the seat of Government. This society, if actively sapported, will doubtless furnish the means of elucidating much that remains obscure ii the natural history and antiquities of Sinde and Beloochistan. The 2d Cavalry will return very shortly to the Presidency. The Meanee medals were distributed to the Bth N. I. at a general parade on the 20th, and the regiment left on the following day for Surat, en route for Ahmedabad, the subjoined complimentary order beingissued by Sir C. Napier, on the occasion of their departure : " Head-quarters, Kurrachee, Thursday, Nov. 20_ EXTRACTS FROM GENERAL ORDERS BY HIS EXCELLENCY MAJOR-GENERAL SIR CHARLES NAPIER, G.C. 8., COM MANDING THE TROOPS LN SINDE. " The Bth Regiment Native Infantry are ordered to the Presidency. " Few now remain in this country of those courageous regiments which conquered Sinde, and Sir Charles Napier cannot see the Bth depart without regret. " For the troops which fought so bravely at Meanee and Hyderabad the Major-General must ever feel a peculiar re gard : they gained for him a celebrity which it is his boast that he owes to their gallantry, but the word 'Sinde,' in scribed on their colours, and the medals on their breasts, are the best records of their glory. " In thus taking leave of the Bth Regiment N. 1., Sir Charles Napier wishes to the regiment, collectively and individually, all success : they have served with honour ill Sinde. (Signed) " C. J. NAPIER, Major-General." Some discussion has taken place in military circles, owing to the slight put on the 25th Regiment of Native Infantry by the Government of Bombay, in receiving them, on their return, a short time since, from service in Sinde, without any mark of honour or distinction, such as those which were paid to her Majesty's regiments on landing at Bom bay under similar circumstances. The course pursued by Government is deemed invidious. The departure of th e Bth from Kurrachee leaves the station with only two regi ments of the line, and these, it is supposed, will be heavily worked. The men of the " Belooch battalion," a Sindian levy, form a few of the petty gua r d s. A wing of the 2d Bengal European Regiment were under orders to I return to Sukkur on the 25th ult., marching to Kotree whence they would be conveyed t o th e i r destination by the river steamers. The defacement of nati ve i n f antry stat i one d at Jerruck has been withdrawn ; the duties of the post are for the future to be performed by the Sinde baggage corps. Lieut. 0. Hamilton, commission er w ith t h e B e l ooc h t r ibes on the frontier, has obtained sick leave to Kurrachee,, his duties in the meantime devolving on the officer commanding the outpost of Khangur. Lient, Maciagan, of the Bengal Engi neers, has been ordered to take charge of the Executive Engineer's department at Kurrachee. Lieut. Stanley re sumed his duti es as t reasurer on the 16th October. Lieut. Harding, of her Majesty's 22d Foot, has been appointed assistant judge advocate; Ist Lieutenant Campbell, of the ; Bengal Engineers, to be assistant superintendent of canals ~~ ~ ~.Z~ ~_ iT . f _,~z and forests; Mr. Williams, of the Indus flotilla, to be an assistant surveyor. Assistant-Surgeon Ward has been placed in permanent medical charge of the Sinde Belooch corps. Committees have;been assembled at Kurrachee and Hyderabad for the purpose of reporting on the number of tents in store at these stations. The medical superintendence of the Bengal troops serving in. Upper Sinde, and the medical depot at Sukkur, have been transferred from the superintending surgeon of the Sirhind division of the Bengal army to the supequtending surgeon of the Bombay . establishment in Sinde. The following very high compliment has been paid by Sir C. Napier to the gallant 86th Foot:— "Head-quarters, Kurrachee, Nov. 4, 1845. " In consequence of the excellent behavior of the 86th Re giment, and at the request .of Brigadier Douglas, Lieut. Colonel Derinzy, and the captain of the company to which private Arthur O'Neil belcngs, the Major-General command ing remits the remainder of that soldier's punishment, who is to return to his duty. This act of mercy the Major Gene ral considers to be a great compliment to the 86th Regiment, as lie very much dislikes to pardon any man for a crime re sulting from intoxication." The Delhi Gazette intimates that the Governor was to leave Kurrachee on a tour of inspection the first week in Deceniter. We hear, by the way, that the proposition for an exchange of territory with our ally, Illecr Ali Aloorad, is nos' before Government. The Ameer, it is sai.!, is to let Meerf me and Oobarob, which are on the east side if the Inoue, and border on the Bhawulpere state, and the British are to have Kus more and the Boordee country on the west. We are told that the Muzzarees have been driving away the people front the frontier, and if this be the case another " little war " may perhaps be the consequence of the exchange. The subjoined extract from a letter in the Friend rf India of the Gth ultimo affords some useful information relative to the Shikarguhs, or hunting-grounds, about which so much was said at the time of our negotiations:, with the .Ameers of Sinde, anterior to the deposal of those unfortunate princes:— "'These Shikargahs are now under the control of the officer denominated superintendent of canals and forests, who has a separate establishment fur their conservance under a ranger of forests. One of them, in the neighbourhood of Hyderabad, has been, in the first place, as an experiment, subjected to the treatment proposed to be adopted with re gard to all; and this experiment has been eminently suc cessful, in so far as the return has more than covered the ex penditure. The sources of pecuniary return which These forests supply are the large timber available for building purposes; small and fallen wood, useful as firewood for the steamers as well as for the public • the gum afforded by th e several species of acacia, and the bark of the acacue and mimosm, used for tanning, besides the excellent pasture, ob tained within the limits of the Shikargahs. The measures pursued in their conservance consist chiefly in clearing away the great amount of underwood, and fallen and decayed timber, and removing trees from the more dense parts of the Shikargah, with the regulation of the rented pasture lands, and general superintendence of the forests, with a view to their preservation from accidental or malicious injury, or un authorised destruction of timber. It is probable that the benefits of the system, which has proved successful in the experimental forest, will be extended to such of the others as promise a similar measure of success, whilst the more worth less, which are scarcely deserving of a higher name than jungle, may be restored to cultivation. It is also proposed to attempt the cultivation of other useful forest trees not indi genous to Sinde or already existing in the Shikargahs."

Our latest news from Peshawur affords little more than confirmation and details of what we had previously heard rid Lahore. The date of Sirdar Tej Singh's final departure from his Government is stated to have beer the 27th of September, Dueercea Khad accompanying him as previously noted, under a guard of 300 suwars. Sirdar Tej Singh met his succes•or, Shere Singh Attareewallab, on the banks of the Indus, where he introduced to the latter the chief officers whom he had employed during his rule, and recommended them to his con sideration. Shere Singh hadnot reached the capital on the 3d of October, and General Goordut Singh was officiating for him until his arrival. Shere Singh had, however, assumed the functions of governor, and sent orders to release all the pri soners in the gaols, which were complied with, except in the instance of 17 men of the Ram Gole battalion, implicated in the murder of the late Sirdar Maha Singh. Sirdar Peer Mahomed had been successfully engaged in operations against some refractory villages in the neighbourhood of Hustnuggur. The cholera has, to appearance, ceared its ravages in Pesha wur, the last victim of any note being the wife of Prince Mahomed Hasheem.—Delhi Gazette, Nov. 15. AFFGIIANISTAN. We have intelligence from Caubul. Our last news was to the effect that the Peshawur invasion had, to all appearance, been abandoned, and a determination had been manifested by the Wuzeer to proceed towards Kandahar. This, how ever, did not last long, and there is reason to believe it was meant as a blind, for though there could be no chance of pro fiting by Peshora Singh's rebellion still the Caubul chiefs cannot abandon the idea of relinquishing Peshawur for good. On the 21st of September orders were issued by the Ameer for the payment of the artillery_cf his army, with the view of their being sent down to Jellalabad, in anticipation of his own and the Wuzeer's almost yearly winter visit to that place, and the payment was effected not in coin, which would have been too direct a mode of dealing with the Aflghan chiefs, but by orders on the keepers of the Government grain maga zines. The troops to take a certain quantity of grain at the Ameer's valuation, with permission to sell it for whatever it might fetch in the market. On the following day'a aimilar arrangement was effected for the payment of the infantry. At the same time instructions were sent to Ahmed Khan Meer Akhor, Lieutenant-Governor of Jellalabad, to extri cate two large guns, which had been abandoned in 11aM Bagh some time age, from their present position, and hay* them prepared for service. The Mooltanee Affghans, who had abandoned their country and gone to Caubul h 1 a large body, in the beginning of the year 1844, an'2, of whom we have heard nothing since their discliergz from the service of the Ameer on the breaking up of the Jellalabad force last year, having accommodated their disputes with the ruler of Mooltan, are, it is stated, about to return to their homes. Great difficulty is said to have been experienced in realising the local revenue, in consequence of the confusion which had arisen during the prevalence of the cholera, and the customs' officer, or contractor of customs, th e we ll-k nown S urwur Khan Lohanee, had created great dissatisfaction by raising the several duties to enable him to realise the required amount of revenue. GIVALIOR. By letters from Gwalior we are put in possession of intel ligence to the sth instant. It appears from them that the confusion which existed when our correspondent last wrote had subsided, some — of the conspirators; having been placed in durance vile. There are strange rumours afloat about the matter, and it is even surmised that Ram Rae Phalkea is at the bottom of the business, and that it was neither more nor less than a plot to injure her Highness the Tara Bees and some of the sirdars. We understand courts of iiiguiry were immediately assembled to investigate the dafirTg at tempt, and we hope soon to receive intelligence.4di3clerures made at them. NORTH WEST PROVINCES. We learned, sooh after our paper was issued on Wednesday last, that the Governor-General had so far arranged his plans as to ensure his arrival at Delhi on the 15th (this day), and his departure hence on the 19th, in progress to Kuraaul, and also that the camp had on the 12th reached Bahminee Kheree. We have further to record, regarding the move ments of his Excellency, that his camp reached Fureedabad on the 13th, was yesterday at Kishendas-ka-talao (Sir Henry himself going round to the Kootub), and reached Delhi this morning about half-past seven o'clock. The Governor-Gene ral passed through the town in his carriage (accompanied by Mr. Metcalfe, agent to the Lieutenant-Governor) from the Delhi to the Kashmeer-gate. The police battalion were drawn up inside the Delhi gate to receive the cortege. At the Kashmeer gate, his Excellency was received by Major- General Hodgson, mounted his horse, and rode up to his camp beyond the lines in cantonments. The 6th Irregular Cavalry were drawn up outside the Kashmeer (gate ; A salute of nineteen guns was fired there, and a second on Sir Henry Hardinge reaching his tents. The infantry regiments forming the garrison were drawn up in single files on either side the road this side of cantonments. The cortege bore greatly the appearance of the peculiar character which distinguishes the present Government ; quiet and steady, while the numerous escort spoke of firmness and decision.—Delhi Gazette, Nov. 15. The Governor-General has been our lion during the lab! few days, and seems to have made the best use of his time, 19( whilst here. On Saturday afternoon the young Nawab of Ju ur (who had in the course of the morning been invested with his Kbelut by the agent of the Lieutenant-Governor at his Kutcheree), the Raja of Bullumghur, and Maharaja Hindoo Rao, were received at a special durbar. On Sunday his Excellency attended divine service (the prayers being read by Mr. Metcalfe, in the absence of the chaplain). On Monday morning a levee was held in camp for the reception of the English gentlemen of Delhi, and of the native officers of the garrison, who seemed much pleased with the inquiries made of them regarding the deco rations worn by them. About two his Excellency held a durbar for the reception of those native gentlemen who had been summoned. In the evening his Excellency en tertained the chief military officers, the staff, and the whole of the civil residents at Delhi, at dinner. The Governor-General has seen all that is to be seen in Delhi, riding out daily, and early in the morning for the purpose. The camp moved this morning en route to Kur nool, Sir Henry Hardinge being, till the evening, a guest of Mr. Metcalfe's. The general impression in the camp is that " peace will be maintained," but we are greatly mistaken from the tone that pervades the official gentlemen if there is not more than meets the ear in the assumed indifference which is the order of the day. The Sikhs are not in a mood to be controlled.—Delhi Gazette, Nov. 19. MADRAS. We learn with great satisfaction that the Most Noble the Marquis of Tweeddale has contributed the sum of 10,000 rupees towards establishing the proposed Collegiate Insti tution, based on Christian principles. All honour to be his Lordship for this truly munificent donation, which we hope will lead to proportionately liberal contributions from some of those who occupy high places in the land, and cannot but feel it incumbent on themselves to support an undertaking so eminently calculated to serve the East Indian community. who have most laudably come forward in proportion to their limited means in contributing to the establishment of the pro posed Collegiate Institution. Up to this time no favourable change in the state of the weather in our quarter has taken place, but as the great burst of the monsoon occurred last year during the month of De cember, we may still cherish a hope of seeing the much de sired fall, —Spectator, Nov. 20. It affords us pleas ure t o learn that the head-quarters of the 41st Regime n t X . I . reached Vizagapatam on the 19th, after a voyage of 14 days, all being well. The vessels con taining the remainder of the corps had not come in when the news left. There was intelligence received from Golconda on the 13th, which announced that heavy firing had been heard in the neighbourhood. No report of the cause or result had, how ever, come in. The supposition is that our troops had en countered some obstacle which required to be overcome. It seems probable that the business in that quarter will engage attention for some time to come, particularly on account of the sickliness of the season. CALCUTTA. It is reported that Sir Robert Oliver is to succeed tk. present Superintendent of Marine here; but we believe this to be mere idle gap. Nothing can be more unlikely than that Sir Robert Oliver should give up the superintendence of the Indian navy for that of the few and comparatively insignificant vessels attached to this port.
