from Bombay to January 13, and from Calcutta to

The Bhootan expedition appears to enoonutar
but little resistance. The latest news we have of it
is a telegram, which informs us that Brigadier-
General Dunsford's column took a strongly
stockaded position with trifling loss on the 31st
December.

The ialowing is the telegram :

though most strongly stoultaded, taken yesterday.
Two &pops killed and fifteen wounded. The
bodies of thirteen Bhooteas have been found, and
one elephant captured."

The Lucknow Exhibition was opened on the 24th
December
All the capital for the great Exhibition in Bom-
bay has been subscribed, and all the shares have
been taken up. The Gazette says :—" One great
difficulty connected with the undertaking is occa-
sioned by the want of available house-room in Bom-
bay. The city is likely to get a name for very cold
hospitality, if. after inviting ten thousand strangers
to visit the exhibition, it denies them the ordinary
accommodation of board and lodging. Yet there is
certainly no plum of shelter for a multitude of visi-
tors in a city in which European residents often
have to search vainly for weeks together for houses
(or rather barns) in which to rest their heads. The
projectors of the exhibition must therefore provide
an hotel for their expected guests ; and we hear
that, as the time is too short for masonry work, it
is their intention to have a large iron and terra-
cotta building erected near the exhibition."

the place of cremation upon his horse, and, by his
own confession, he stood passive by her whilst she
was burnt alive at a distance of SO yards. It is
also said that 700 people were present at the suicide.
The politicos agent of Meywar has sentenced the
