BENAIIES PLOT.—The Maharajah of Benares
lately sent word to the local authorities that a
Mahomedan stranger in the city had made urzant
liens for an interview with him, on the plea that he bore
confidential despatches which must be delivered into the
Maharajah's own hands. For some reason the man was
suspected to have come from the neighbourhood of Sutana.
It was therefore decided that the interview be granted, and
at the special ugliest of the Maharajah an Agent of Govern-
ment be concealed in the room of audience to hear what
passed. The scoundrel, wbo gives the name of Goon Khan
of Itewab, duly kept his tryste, and presented what pur-
ported to be letters bearing the signature and seals of the
Akhoond of Swat and Rajah of Jummo, introducing the
bearer as their confidential agent, who would receive any-
thing the Maharajah would send them, and who bore mes-
sages of importance from them to the Maharajah. The man
then went on to state that it was arranged by the Akhoond
and the Rajah of Jummo that they should make a joint
attack on the British immediately after the rains, and the
Rajahs, Nswabs, and ether men of influenc9 in Hindostan
be invited to co-operate by simultaneously rising and by
sanding recruits and money to Sittana. When he had ex-
hausted his budget the agent of Government stepped from
behind the purdah and arrested him. Other Punjabees
have since been taken in the city who have been consortipg
with this man, and from whom further revelations may be
expected. Meanwhile Government 18 vigorously prosecu-
ting inquiries in other quarters. It is suspected that these
men are mere importers, and in no way connected with or
commissioned by the Akhoond or Cajah, but merely traffic-
ing on the discontent of the people for their own peculiar
benefit.—Delhi Gazette.
