LIEUT. WTBURD.—We have received a letter from
Mrs. Murrell, sister of Lieut. Wyburd, to vefirenee to a pa-
ragraph published in oar Bombay letter, on the ....Heel of
the lost Indian mail, to the effect that Mr. Wyburd, who
had Ma emit on a political mission into Toorkistan, sad
hug eappresd to be dead, b now discovered to be living Is
voluntary exile in Rhokand, accompanied by a easement
epos his alleged change of religion and non•desire to leave
ths country of his adoption. Oar correspondent says: " I
beg, as the sister of that brave, enterprising, and not less Bi-
fated officer, to filers you that Lieut. Wyburd was newer
suppose! to be dead by me. I possess abundant information
to satisfy any resemble mind that there is every probabi.
My that bets yet dive in captivity at Bokhara ; for three
Wog years have I been struggling to impress upon the go-
vernment this fact : they are not to be convinced. In the
Me of directly contrary information they determined to con-
clude my brother deed, and in a letter to Lord Palmerston
of the 17th of Jannanaetyy last I wrote thus : ' I am deeply
grieved, now that my er's existence is shown to be,
more than ever probable, I can no more hope that her
Majesty's government will do otherwise than conclude
that he is dead. I see the futility of all my past
exertions, and am fairly bewildered for the future.' Among
stir subsequent exertions was to lay a petition et the foot of
the throne. A petition was presented in May last ; the re-
sult has not yet been made known to us. When the British
government shall properly demand Lieut. Wyburd from the
ruler of the country in which he is detained, and shall pro
sure hisilthe asans of :returning to his countg and his frimals,
mod be Hsirefuse to avail himself of its assistance, then, and

'Mr to the fury of • tyrant, and leave him to endure years
of torture, shrinking from the respons.bility it had in.

,goantry, civilised or barbarian, has the case of Lieut. Wy.

[We have inserted this letter to please our correspondent,
although it rather confirms than contradicts the statement of
