gentleman in Glasgow, from his brother :

as they kill and plunder every one they can lay hands

dare anything. Another leafed borderers who have been
the salvation of Upper India in taking our part are the
Oboorkae. We have had them often here paring on
to "the seat of the corner-stone of wisdom '•—the great King
of Delhi'. city—the doomed pandemonium. They are very
little men, about 4 feet 10 Inches or 6 feet. They are very
active, and their thirst for bloat is something fearful. The
see braver lions ; sad their oftions have all to be picked

lenders did in the days of Montrose or Prince Charlie. Each
man, beside. ha musket and bayonet, has a weapon some-
thing like a bowie knife. When the charge is sounded, they
rush forward, firs their musketa end throw them down out
with their knives and work the moat fearful havoc. These
knives arc called " kooky..'." and the eight of one makes •
