GAZINE.
Alexander and Co., Leadenhall-street.
On taking up this Journal a man may dream
himself into India, and fancy himself at
Eastern amusement he relishes. By one arocie
he may sail up the Canton river in a "bam
masted boat;" in another, take a trip to Chat-
poor in a palanquin, or sleep in a bungalow :1,
Cawnpoor. If he at the same time be b"i
.
orientalist andpolitician, "Our Political Relations
with Herat" and the "Case of Tualikoo Ma-
homed Saud" will gratify him. In the latter
paper the writer stands up as special counsel.tce
defend Tuankoo, and complains of the injustice
which the Royal family of Quedah sustained
from British authorities for the last twenty Year'.
