Bombay papers of August 12 contain t'oc
to!-
lowing paragraphs :
The Eaglialt divers sent to Orli= report the possibibty
of recovering, within a few weeks, every article of velue
sunk in the Penitusdar Lod Oriental Compeers steamer
Ara, saw Trincomalee.

The native who was so severely dogged by Lientenan
Jackson (Bengal Engiueers) at !)hers Ishmael Khan, baa
since died ; and that officer will be tried by court-martial
for murder.

Cholera has again broken out at Meerut, and the troops
have been moved into camp. It has disappeared from the
troops at Peshawur, but has broken out in the city.
The Dinapore military scandals have resulted in the re-
signation of the brigadier of that station, Colonel Burney,
and the low of his commission by Lieutenant Crohan, of
her Majesty's 35th Regiment.
A breach bee taken place between the Nepaidese and
Thibetan governments, caused by the murder of a subject
of the former at Lassa. The Dhurmaraj of Thibet has, in
revenge, sent to the British authorities a letter written to
him by Sir Jung Behadoor in December last, declaring his
intention to wage war against the British !
Dost Mahommed is pushing matters to extremities in
Central Asia. After recovering numb, he at owe marched
for Herat. By the latest accounts (10th July) his ad.
vanes guard, under command of the heir apparent, was
expected to be at Subtawsr on the 12th July, and the
Anwar would reach the same place the following day. &h-
II amar is only 70 mile* from Herat. It is stated that
Sultan Ahmed Jan had marched on Suhzawar with a large
faros to meet the Dart.

The Sheol, are again giving us trouble. They have
broken out in open rebellion, and are looting villages and
committing great depredations. A European military force
has been sent against them from Mhow. Europeans, how-
ever, cennot follow the Meals into the jungles at this
season of the year. The punishment of the rebels will not
therefore be inflicted till after the rains, when it is hoped
that it will be such as to teach them a salutary and lasting
lesson.

The general health of the country has declined latterly ;
and fears are entertained that cholera will prevail very ex-
tensively.

A telegram from Poona, dated August 12, says :
—" Mr. Compton, judge of Poona, was accidentally
drowned at the Suogum this morning whilst bathing.
Body not yet found."
Of the Bombay markets, the local Times of Aug.
12 reports :

The excitement which characterised our market a fort
night ago has considerably subsided, prices having receded
somewhat from the high rani() they had attained. The
divided success of the American war makes speculators •
little more careful ; but we may at any moment see an
acuession of the fever that seized upon the place so lately,
Cocioanut-day, the 9th instant, has meanwhile palsied away,
and the season is professedly open ; but we regret
to state that its prospects are to some extent
clouded by a fear that the scarcity of rain In some
parts of the country will end in the destruction of the
lEhttreel crop. Thus private letters from Oomrawnttee tell
us that not a drop of rain has been had there since the first
fall, sod that the cotton crop in the surrounding districts is
on the point of perishing. In the Poonali and Sbolapore
collectoratea, also, the country is parched and yellow, and,
although rain fell at the latter station on the 7th and Bth
inst., it is feared that the grain crop will be seriously
damaged, if not lost.
