We are getting into a ghastly familiarity with cholera,
which ought to make the philanthropist and our military
admiialstraton and financiers think gravely of the past and
present, and of the possible future, of that terrible 'limes"
as regards the strength and efficiency of our European army
in India. Her Majesty's 77th Regiment, at Allahabad, has
just gone through, and, we hope, finished, its ordeal of
I cholera for this year ; and although no serious alarm ap-
pears to have been caused by the visitation, and alljeesais to
be taken pretty much ass matter of course, the fact is that
fifty-two men and eighteen women and children, have
perished by this terrible disease.
The steamer Armenian, taken up for the oonveyance of
yowl of bar Majesty's 43rd Light Infantry to New Zealand,
will embark three hundred and fifty men of the regiment
and eight officers, nadir the camoased of Major Colville,
the junior major of the cops, the reminder following in
the Antoci* Apar, under the command of Lieut.• Colonel
Booth. The Armenian ma, we believe, easily he got away

The Madras At says :

There is so little to be said about the events of the peat
fortnight that making up a summary of them le shawl as
difficult a task as weaving a rope of rod, which, as the
story runs, was one that baffled even diabolic ingenuity and
perseverance. With the single exception of AffelaliiatilD,
where matters appear to be approaching a crisis, all is out-
wardly tranquil in India at present, but the aspect of affairs
there I. sombre enough, and the occasional ebullitions on
our milers [rootlet., although of small importune in
themselves, show that trouble for the British government in
browns in that quarter.
India is sending reinforcements to the small body of
troops in New Zealand, where a fresh war has been forced
on the Queen's government by the turbulent Maoris.
Majesty's 69th Foot are immediately to be sent to that
ereoy, and the 69th Regiment will consequently be detained
in this presidency until next year, a necessity which is sorely
felt by the officers and men of the corps, who were under
orders for Europe, and lament their being kept at Madras
merely for garrison duty, although they would have been
happy to embark on active service ID New Zealand, had such
been the will of the Governor-GeneraL
