NORTH WEST PROVINCES.

THE FRONTIERS.—The lull on the frontiers is not
likely to continue much longer apparently. The No-
fussilite quotes from a correspondent at Pashawur ;
" The tribes in the Swat District have again committed
some sort of aggression, the nature of which is at pre-
sent kept secret ; it is something connected with the
murder of some Bunneehs, The Afreedies likewise
committed a fresh murder a few days ago. Two tra-
vellers were, it appears, the victims." We shall, no
doubt, have another expedition when the weather clears
up a little.
Our contemporary of Meerut announces the occur-
rence of a great thunderstorm, during which Captain
R. H. Hicks, Ist Fusiliers, noting commandant 15th
Irregular Cavalry, who was returning from Murree to
Peshawur, was struck dead by the lightning. The de-
ceased was eldest son of Colonel George Hicks, C. 8.,
37th Regiment N.1.--Bengal Hurkaru, Aug. 24.
Our letters from Peshawur do not contain any items
of importance. We are sorry to leara that there is
every prospect of renewed differences in the trans-Indus
provinces. The Kothul is said to be again closed, and
the road between Peshawur and Kobat so unsafe for
Europeans, that a prohibitory order has been issued to
that effect, and passengers have therefore to proceed
along the left bank of the Indus.—Delhi Gazette,
Aug. Is.
Ensign William Lionel Rawson Lumsdaine, of the 6th
N. 1., has been cashiered under the sentence of a general
court-martial assembled at Cawnpore, his offence being
that of endorsing a bill which he knew to be a forgery.
—Bengal Hurkaru of Sept. 2.
THE 38TH NATIVE INFANTRY.—The following is
from our correspondent at Dacca:—" You will be sorry
to hear that since I last wrote sickness has very much
increased in cantonments. The 38th have about 240
in hospital and two casualties; the officers' servants ate
also all ill. There are two hospitals, but they have been
found insufficient, so a bungalow near them has been
taken, yet in a few days more room will be required."—
