INDIA.
The regiments of the Persian expedition were
returning to India. A part of the 14th Light
Dragoons had already returned from the Gulf,
and it was supposed that the whole of the 2nd
division were on their way to Bombay when the
mail left.

The sepoy of the 34th, who wounded Lieutenan
Baugh, had been hanged, and the Jemadar of the
guard had been similarly punished. The charges
against the latter were several acts of sedition. The
Jemadar hoped for mercy till he was placed beneath
the gallows, and then, finding that nothing could
change his fate, he addressed his comrades in the
following impressive terms :
"Sepoys, listen to me ! I have been a traitor to a good
government. lam about to be punished for my great
sins ; I am about to be hanged, and I deserve the punish-
ment. Sepoys, obey your officers, for they are your right-
ful and just rulers, or else yon will, like me, be brought to
the gallows. Sepoys, obey your officers ; listen to them,
and not to evil advisers—l listened to evil advisers, and
you see what lam come to. I call upon God to bless the
Governor General, and all the great gentlemen, the gene-
ral, and all the sahib toque (gentlemen) here present.—
Seeta Ram ! Beets, Ram ! Seeta Ram !"
It was imagined that an outbreak among the
sepoys at Barrackpore, to prevent these executions,
was a possible contingency, and ptileparations were
made accordingly to overawe any demonstration of
the kind; but everything, nevertheles9, passed off
quietly, and not a whisper expressive of mutinous
feelings was uttered, but, on the contrary, the
native soldiers on the ground, some three or four
thousand in number, were evidently impressed
with a conviction that they would themselves be
summarily dealt with if they displayed the least
sign of disobedience or even exhibited disorder in
their ranks. The Hurkarit remarks :
Government has put forth its strength wisely, in the
examples it has recently made of the 19th Native Infantry,
and the men of the 34th Native Infantry, and we believe
that every regiment and sepoy in the native army are dis-
posed to accept the lesson, and avoid its practical applica-
tion to themselves. We anticipate no farther outbreaks
or mutinies for a long time to come, but should they
unfortunately arise, we trust that they may be put down
as rigorously and effectively as the late unhappy distur-
bances have been.
A postscript of the Delhi Garotte, of the 18th
April, received at Bombay May Ist, has the follow-
ing :—" We regret to be informed by telegraph
that bad symptoms have manifested themselves at
Urnballa The native troops have been ordered to
fire what they consider the objectionable cartridges
to-morrow. The empty European barracks were
burnt down at nine last night, and the native in-
fantry hospital, a mile distant, three hours after."
The Phcenix states that in consequence of the
rumour that Goolab Sing is dead, and that the
train of events in his kingdom is not clearly fore-
seen, officers at Peshawur who had obtained leave
to visit Cashmere, have been interdicted from
going thither.
The notorious outlaw of Oude, Fuzil Ali, the
murderer of poor Boileau, has at last met with his
deserts. Lieut. Lougueville Clarice, of the 3rd
