THE BOMBAY MAIL

By the arrival of the above mail we have advicea
from Bombay to April 13, and from Calcutta to
April 7.
The latest intelligence respecting Bbootan is con-
tained in a despatch from Genend Tombs, dated
Dewangiri, April 2, 2 p.m., which says :—"The
force under my command re-occupied Dewangiri
to-day by half-past 12. Not a Bhootea is left on the
plateau. Our loss not heavy. Lieut. Weldoo, of
the pollee, severely wounded, and three or four
officers slightly wounded. About 20 men killed and
wounded. The enemy fought hard until the key
of their position fell. Every man in the stockade
was killed or taken prisoner. About 130 taken
prisoners • 11111101/grit them two men of note."
The Calcutta glishesaa, referring to the above
news, is in favour of an advance into Bhootan,
as the best means of settling the dispute. It says :
In the first place, we are convieced that it will be Impos-
sible to hold the present pmitioas during the rains, except
at ao immense sacrifice of men ; in the second, we believe
that we can only hold them as the perpetual enemies of the
Bbootess. If they should not come to terms, we must,
sooner ur later, take further measures to coerce them ; and,
if they should oome to terms, we shall have the satisfaction
of knowing that there is not the remotest probability of
their observing them, and that we are only prolonging, at
our own cost, the period of grans which they Sr. sure to
abuse. _ _

The Times of India says that as it had been an-
nounced that the Supreme Government were de-
cided on a strictly defensive attitude with regard
to Bhootan during the hot season, the news of
the re-taking of Dewangiri on the 2nd came like a
surprise. " The Bhootanese (it adds) have for some
time ceased to commit depredations in the Dooars ;
and, as General Tombs reports not one is uow left
in the plains, this unexpected success will enable
the government to maintain its defensive attitude
with greater ease and without the chance of such a
policy being misunderstood. Probably the Bhoo-
tauese will now be sincerely desirous of treating,
and it is to be hoped that the Viceroy will seize the
opportunity of closing this little war."

Lysley, the liberal member for Chippenbam, flu issued an

of his own business relations with his fellow.townemee. H.

at length on political topics, as didn't have ample opportu-
nities of doing so when the election is fixed. My general

support all measures founded upon really liberal idea. I
am in favour of a considerable extension of the suffrage. and
I would advocate any reasonable proposition directed to-
wards this object. lam myself a conscientious member of I
the church of England, but I am desirous of seeing perfect
freedom in religions matters acceded to all other deco-
initiations, and with that view I should support the
entire abolition of church rates. The extension of
trade, caused by the abolition of protective
duties, and the changes in various descriptions of manufet-
tures consequent thereon, have led to frequent difference,. I
between the representatives of capital and labour. To ob-
viate these differences for the future its most desirable .
that courts of conciliation and arbitration should be efts.
blished in this country upon equitable bases. To this I
requirement I give my most serious consideration, and I
shall be glad to have an opportunity of bringing it before
' the legislature." It is not yet decided who will be the
other candidate brought forward in the liberal interest. I
