BOMBAY, Nov. 2.
Tts news by the prevent mail is not of much ini-
eeteite. The Governor-General has by this time
rs;se sore returned within the Company's dominions
be log absence from which has caused not a little:
seatisiction to the Qui-Hies who visited Simla In
ctatbn of a little piety ; Si well as by
_others at
atm', whose business has been retarded by the
may wising from correspondence with a ruler so far
soy from his own government. A writer is emit
▪ the Calcutta papers gives a very severe diatribe
og the evils inflicted on the natives of Sisal's by
beccg been forced to proceed as porters with the
rat mays baggage, from Simla to adds
st the time their crops most required beide;
atm Though a great portion of his semi is
sar.lled for, there is much truth in what he
sikgtv ; and it would be well were the au-
ras ruler confined to his own dominions when in
such of health or recreation. The government of
*obey having been requested to despatch an officer
of *kill and experience in river navigation to join the
Governor General at Lahore. Lieut. Grounds has

A threatened dieted:untie betwixt our troops and
the triher in the neighblurhood of the Bahadur
Supt Mine, on the frontier south of Yohat, has
ihriautely hien averted. Some indiscretions on
the part of our own irregular, had nearly brought
'boat strife: besides this, the Weseerees are
sid to have been apprehensive that the price of the
pit was likely to be increased, as the guard at the
size had been reinforced. A good deal of sickness
senile at Peshawar, where, by accounts of the 19th
s!t. one thousand seven hundred men and thirty
sheers were laid up with fever : one regiment had
anii in hospital. No parades could be held, as thore
who were well were nearly all engaged on duty !
Tail is a sad state of affairs. At Lahore, about the
lute date, there were 27 officers and 1,481 men on the
sick list : 19 of the European fusiliers had died
dieing the month ; and the corps bad in all seven
sifters and :131 men in hospital out of Bdo—with
shoot 100 convalescents. Since their arrival at Le-
hrer en the Bth Feb., the regiment had lost in all 64
MN. It wee believed, however, that the sickness had
t'uo to abate somewhat. The subjoined table may

Colonel Campbell to mooed on furlough to Europe without

He has served thirty-two years is ladle, almost without

distinguished situation of head of the department, which he
has held for thirteen and a half years, and in which eapaeity
he served with the Bombay troops la the arduous campaigns
off Afghanistan. and was present both at the capture of
°burn» and the storm of Khan, and was most honourably
mentioned in the despatches on three secesiont.
Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell will carry with Idea the
justly merited esteem of his brother officers, and the celm.
mander-in-cbief eminently trim that Ur' plant lessee
