A PRETTY LITTLE GAME FOR PRETTY LITTLE

LORDS OF THE ADMIALALTY.—An amusing game is that of
building ships, and seeing whether they will float. You
must first get some oak timber and knock it into shape any-
how, till it begins to look something like a tub. Then take
your ship to the seaside and see if it will float ; but if it will
not, you must take it out of the water and pull it to pieces
again, and begin making a fresh ship. Do this until it does
not sink. W hen this is the case, you can begin putting in
your guns; but, if it should roll over, which is very probable,
you had better carry away your ship before it goes to the
bottom, and pull it to pieces again, and patch it, and con-
struct it on quite a new plan ; but if, after all, it does
nothing but roll over, you had better put it aside for fire-
wood, and lose no more time about getting some more oak
timber, and begin building another ship. The most amusing
game, however, is to build some four or five ships at the
same time, as like one another as two eggs, and to launch
them all together. It is great fun to watch them in the
water. One will pitch, the other will toss; one will roll, and
another will do nothing at all but show a strong desire, like a
stone, to go to the bottom. This sport is very diverting.
and nt ver tires, no matter how often you may repeat it. You
may play at this game as often as you like, for you can come
to no harm in trying the experiments, as you do not go in
the ships yourselves, andnhgavliseh nation

AFFGEIANISTAN AND PESHAWUR.
(From the Delhi Gazette, March 17.)
The interest which attaches to the fate of the son of
Dost Mahomed .Khan has induced us to be a little more
prolix than usual in our translation of the letter last re-
ceived from Caubul, and which brings intelligence to the
9th February, commencing with the 29th of January.
On this day a person came in great haste to the durbar
about ten o'
clock, to inform the Ameer that Nawab Ma-
homed Zuman Khan was suffering much from violent
pain in his stcmach, and was vomiting blood. A secona
message was soon atter brought from Sonja-ood-llowlah,
stating that his father was very ill, and was very anxious
to see the Ameer before his death, which he was confi
dent was approaching. His Highness immediately broke
up the durbar, and proceeded to the house of Nawab,
but before he could reach it he received intelligence to the
effect that the good old chief had expired. The Ameer
immediately gave orders for the arrangement of the
funeral ceremonies, which being carried out, the body
was, on the same day, committed to the grave, large
sums being bestowed in alms on the occasion. After
this the Ameer went to console the sons of the departed
Nawab, declaring that his death was as much a source
of sorrow to him as it could possibly be to them. It was
agreed further, that as the Wuzeer was himself reported
to be very sick, and this news might have an unfavourable
effect on him, a proclamation should be issued prohibiting
any mention of it being made in letters sent to the camp of
the Wuzeer. On the 30th January the Ameer, attended by
a large retinue, went to the house of Nawab Sooja-
ood-llowlah to read the Futehah, and the whole town
was mourning the death of Zuman Khan, every mouth
being full of his praises. A hurkaru arrived this day
from Gundamuk, and brought news that the troops of
Wuzeer Mahomed; Akbar Khan had destroyed all the
forts in the neighbourhood of that place belonging to
the Mamakhel people, carried away all the wood that
was moveable, burnt what they could not remove, and
plundered the whole of the property of the inhabitants.
It was also stated that the Wuzeer had determined on
building a cantonment at Gundamuk, where troops were
to be permanently located for the protection of travellers.
The Ameer again went, on the 31st of January, being
the third after the death of the Nawab, to the house of
Sonja-ood-Dowlah,+ and performed the ceremonies usual
on the occasion, which lasted till past mid-day. On his
return to the palace the Ameer held a private consulta-
tion with Meer Ilajee Saheb, at which the cause of the
death of the Nawab was taken into consideration, many
people having openly expressed their belief that he had
been poisoned. On the following day the Ameer de-
puted to his sons, Sirdars Afzul Khan and Amram
Khan, the duty of presiding at the durbar, pleading
sickness as the cause of his own absence. He was said
to have received intelligence regarding the proceedings
of Mahomed Shah Khan, Ghilzaie, which had added to
his annoyance. Heavy rain and snow are reported to
have fallen on this day. On the following day a letter
came from the Wuzeer's camp, praying that all the shoe
and boot-makers (Moze-doz) in Caubul might be col
lected to prepare boots for the use of his troops, whom
he was about to lead against some forts high up the
mountains, where snow was still lying deeply. A feud
broke out about the same time amongst the sons of
Nawab Zuman Khan, in consequence of his having ne-
glected to dispose of his property by will previous to his
death, and they called upon the Ameer to decide between
them. On the 3d of February news came in that the
Wuzeer had made all his preparations for attacking the
remaining forts of the Ghilaaies, notwithstanding that
the people had come to offer the most favourable terms.
The troops had, in anticipation of the operations, moved
to Amoorkee-khel. On the 4th of the same month the
Ameer directed a letter to be addressed to Mahomed
Shah Khan, Ghilattie, reproaching him with his conduct,
which had induced him to abandon the camp of the
Wuzeer at the time that be was most wanted. He re-
ceived a long letter from Abd-00l Azeez Khan and other
chiefs of the Ghilzaies, inquiring what crimes they had
committed, since the late accommodation, that should
have induced the Wuzeer to make war upon them and
their people in the frightful manner which he had com-
menced on ? The Ameer replied that if the Chief
would submit terms for his consideration they should be
forwarded, if reasonable, to the Wuzeer, with instruc-
tions to discontinue his operations. The son of Nawab
Mahomed Zuman Khan, being instigated thereto by
some malicious people, brought an accusation against
Ahdoollah, the Kashmeeree steward of their father, of
having been the instrument of his death. Letters were
sent on the 6th of February, summoning Sirdars Haider
Khan and Ameen Khan, sons of the Ameer, to Caubul,
with all the haste they could make. Oa the following day
intelligence was received that the Wuzeer, having again
moved from his late encampment, had gone against Bala-
bagh, and allowed his soldiers to commit the most horrible
acts of depredation. A durbar was held on the 7th, at
which a rumour which was spread during the night,
that a number of the Ghilzaies had attacked and de-
feated the Wuzeer, was discussed with much anxiety.
Sirdar Haider Khan, who had only just arrived from
Ghuznee, immediately set out for Gundamuk with a few
attendants, and he had scarcely left when a hurkaru
arrived bringing full particulars of the battle which had
taken place, from which it appeared that the Wuzeer
had in reality been victorious, having anticipated the
attack of the tribes, killed many of them, taking others
prisoners (some of whom he put to death after they had
surrendered), and plundered every article of their pro-
perty within reach. Snow having fallen immediately
after the battle, the Wuzeer returned to his old encamp
went at Gundamuk, and was reported by the hurkaru
to have suffered much from the exertions he
bad made, while a private letter given to the
Ameer caused a great change in his manner.
This was attributed to authentic accounts of the
state of the Wuzeer's health, regarding whom
it became generally rumoured that he had be-
come suddenly so much worse that he had been
obliged to leave Gundamuk for Jellalabad. This
gave rise to a renewed suspicion of his having been
poisoned in the same manner as Nawab Zuman Khan.
On the 9th of February, the last date of our correspon-
dent's letter, the whole of Caubul is represented to;have
been in a state of almost breathless anxiety as to the
fate of Mahomed Akbar Khan, some of the inhabitants
being instigated by fear and most more by hope, while
the Ameer, attended by various members of his Court
and the high priest, went to the several shrines to offer
up prayers for the recovery of the Wuzeer. While so
engaged, a horseman, who had quitted the camp of the
Wuzeer at Lughman, came into the town, and had no
sooner delivered his budget to the Ameer than a rumour
immediately spread that the Wuzeer was dead, and the
news is said to have afforded satisfaction to a large pro-
portion of the population, especially to the Kuzzulbashes.
The general impression was that he had been poisoned,
and our news writer, being satisfied of the authenticity
of the intelligence, thought it best to send off his letters
at once instead of waiting for further particulars, which
he promises in his next communication, and for which
we will now wait before giving our sketch of the de-
ceased Wuzeer's life.
Our Peshawur letter brings intelligence down to the
16th of February. It opens with an account of the pre-
parations of all kinds made to do honour on his arrival
to Major Lawrence, of the summons sent to all the
neighbouring Chiefs to present themselves on the occa-
sion, and the daily reviews which were gone through
to bring the troops into order. The streets were ordered
to be cleaned thoroughly, as also the various bazaars,
and new clothes were issued to the greater part of the
soldiery. On the 12th of February authentic in-
telligence was conveyed to the Governor, Sirdar Aopar
Singh, that Sirdar Peer Mahomed, who had with
Saeed Mahomed Khan come to Peshawur to be present
at the entry of Major Lawrence, had received accounts
during the previous night of the death of his nephew,
Mahomed Akbar Khan, and that both the Barukzaie
Chiefs had immediately expressed their determination of
quitting the town with the intention of going to Husht-
nuggur. Allowing that the news must have travelled
to Caubul more rapidly than to Peshawar, and have
gut there in about 18 or 20 hours, we may safely cal-
culate that the death of the Wuzeer occurred on the
Bth of February.

THE PUNJAUB.
The chief intelligence we have within the last fort-
night received from beyond the Sutlej is mainly impor-
tant as corrective of past misimpressions. The appre-
hension of danger in these quarters from the unstable
nature of our arrangements, and insurrections and em-
barrassments of which the policy of Lord Hardinge pro-
vided the seeds, are one alter another shown to have
been utterly without foundation as the time arrives
which permits the facts of the case to be given to the
world. The great patriotic outburst, as the Cashmere
insurrection was supposed to be, which was to involve
us in countless dangers, and broils and troubles,
turned out to be a mere local and temporary outbreak,
of no moment whatever, arising from the treachery and
personal spite of the Vizier' who, inciting a Chief to trea-
son with a view of keeping Ghoolab Singh from the ter-
ritories made over to him, became himself the victim of
machinations designed for the injury of the enemy. The
people, supposed to revolt at the idea of being brought
under the dominion of a Seikh, had in fact been ao for
the space of thirty years, and were only now transferred
from one Seikh to another, and never seem to have ex.
pressed or experienced the slightest aversion to the
change. These are now long past; they had their time
and have been succeeded by further misconceptions,
which have given rise to apprehensions as vague, and
speculations as unfounded, as those which -preceded
them. The state of the liazareh country, where diffi-
culties and dangers as visionary as those supposed to en-
compass us in connexion with Cashmere were said to
await us, became one of the next subjects of speculation.
It turns out that Lieutenant Lumsden, instead of being
sent forth to make war, has been ordered on a mission
of peace. The Hazarehs had risen, ' not against Ghoolab
Singh, to whose authority theshead been subjected, but
against the Lahore Seikhs These they have expelled
orn the hills and shut up in the fort of Hurkishengur,
which was on the point of capitulating in April last, when
relieved by a strong reinforcement from the Lahore
Government just before the new arrangement was
concluded with the Jamoo chief. Lieutenant Lumsden
was sent to smooth down past differences and to reconcile
the hill .men to their enemies, and not either to make
war or to subjugate them to the will of their new ruler,
to which no aversion had been expressed by them. He

nit, &islet then been followed by Mr. P. Vans Agnew on
the same errand, and the mission has every prospect of
being attended with success. Were the Government of
1 G hoolab Singh as indifferent and unpopular as it is re-
presented to be, it would be difficult for it to be worse
than the best of those which have preceded it. The
Hill Maharaja is remorseless and avaricious enough,
but he is not one whit more so than the great majority of
his brother chiefs. Since our connexion with him we
have had no reason to charge him with indulging in any
of the infirmities usually imputed to him as habitual. On
the other hand, he has at our suggestion emptied his
dungeons of state prisoners, restored hundreds of
estates that had been seized upon, set his face against the

The perfect freedom of the Queen to move about

with, though she has been on some occasions denied
the company of her son when about to proceed on
pretended pilgrimagsl, suspected to hale objects very
different from those acknowledged in view. The Maha-

amongst his chiefs and people,
seclusion to which be was formerly condemned. The
durbar has not been forbidden to assemble on the Sab-
bath day ; it was intimated that on this day British
officers would not visit, receive visits, or transact busi-
ness, except on occasions of extreme emerg my ; and the
Seikhs having asked whether they might not add it to
the Lumber of their holidays, were told to do just as
they pleased,—to consider it as one by all means, if not
satisfied with the number already observed. The festi-
vities alleged to have been held in the Shalimar gardens
on the anniversary of the battle of Sobraon, and with a
view to commemorating our victories, occurred on an-
other day altogether, and had no object of the sort in
view! Colonel Lawrence in all these matters having
invariably acted with the consideration and thought-
fulness for which he is so deservedly distinguished.
The most cordial footing continues to be main-
tained betwixt us and our new allies, notwithstand-
ing the intrigues of the Maharanee to interrupt
the harmony which exists. The Resident gave a
splendid entertainment on the 4th ult., the second of
the season. Some one hundred and eighty, ladies and
officers, sat down to luncheon, and dancing commenced
as twilight set in. Every apprehension of danger from
the Seikhs has now departed from the minds -of even the
most steady-going alarmists. It had been recommended
that an English tutor should be provided for the young
Maharaja; the Resident was averse to the measure, on
the ground of its being likely to alarm the Seikhs with
the idea that it might be our purpose to convert the fu-
ture ruler from Paganism—or, more probably, that we
might so imbue him with our views as that he should be-
come a puppet in our hands. There is no fear that un-
der the administration of Colonel Lawrence a matter so
important will be neglected, or that Dhuleep Singh will
not have most carefully
_imparted to him all the instruc-
tion circumstances permit of or require. The state of
the finances of the Punjaub had attracted serious atten-
tion, and their condition, as might have been expected,
proved to be such that the most stringent system of re-
trenchment and economy was found indispensable. It is
on these grounds, as is alleged, that Colonel Steinbach
has been refused re-admission into the Seikh army, surd
the services of Colonel Cortlandt declined. It must, at
the same time, be remembered, that one of the condi-
tions of the treaty of February, 1846, was to the effect
that no European or American officers should ever be
admitted into the armies of the Punjaub; and that
whatever may be the pretence under which these
things have occurred, we must in consistency have en-
deavoured to get rid of Europeans formerly, or still
in the service, as speedily as possible. Efforts have been
made to settle, by comprise, as quickly as possible, the
misunderstandings with the landowners in the distant
provinces, chiefly arising from revenue disputes.
The accounts of Futteh Khan, Tawanah, apparently
a sort of Vice Chancellor of the Exchequer, were
said to be in great confusion; he acknowledged a debt
to Government of about 30,0001., but was found to owe
them more than 70,0002 He had been placed under
surveillance pending the inquiry into his affairs. The
very talk of plots and conspiracies—where such things
in reality were wont to be so abundant—is nearly at an
end; and the rumour, that the life of Tej Singh wits
about to have been attempted on the 10th of February,
is now affirmed to have originated with that chief him-
self, who by this means desired to bring his supposed
enemies into discredit! The good effects of the policy
we are pursuing are every where becoming apparent.
The general feeling of security, now becoming universal,
is manifesting itself in the improvements of trade, at
present unusually brisk, and the exhibition of productive
industry, for a long time sadly dormant. Cotton as well
as grain are finding their way in large quantities from
our side across the river--a single merchant is said to
have exported betwixt 800 and 900 camel loads; and to
this auspicious result the various wise and liberal mea-
sures of the Governor-General within our own domi-
nions have greatly conduced. Various of our allies have
been induced to abolish transit duties within their terri-
tories. Well defined and natural lines of traffic, within
which commerce shall be harassed by no fiscal impost,
have been laid down along our Custom-house frontier:;
and the Saugor and Nerbuddah territories have been
altogether relieved of duties.

The following summary, which will scarcely stand
abridgement, will show at a glance what is doing in the
Celestial Empire:—

The follov;ing summary of events in the colony of
Victoria during February we copy from the Overland
Friend of China of the 28th of that month:
In reviewing the occurrences of the month our atten-
tion is at once attracted to the improved position of our
countrymen resident in Canton, and we glean an im-
portant item of intelligence in the fact that the protec-
tion of their lives and property has at length been
deemed a duty of sufficient importance to demand the
presence of three vessels of war in the Canton river.
The Hon. Company's steamer Pluto has been stationed
off the factories since the .sth inst., her Majesty's brig
Childers and her Majesty's steamer Vulture being at
Whampoa; the latter vessel has returned to the harbour.
The necessity for this extraordinary force might have
been suggested in consequence of the Chinese New-year
holidays bringing to the city an extra slumber of
villains ripe for plunder, and burning for vengeance
on the foreigners. No kind of riot, however, has
occurred ; an unusual tranquillity at present exists,
without any likelihood of its being much dis-
turbed, although no freedom from insult and
violence can be relied on in any of the frequented walks
and thoroughfares. It has no doubt been determined
that the Pluto shall be permanently stationed off the
factories, and from the length of time the Childers has
been at Whampoa we presume that is to be considered
her station. It is a satisfactory reflection that such
scenes as occurred in July last, when one successful
assault of the mob might have led to a general massacre
of the foreigners, and the plunder and destruction of their
houses, and innocent men are said to have been amongst
the killed, are never again likely to occur; for so far
as an unguided mob is concerned, unassisted by respect-
able natives, the constant presence of a small vessel of
war will be quite sufficient to keep them in subjection.
In our last summary we alluded to a petition from the
Chinese shopkeepers to the Governor, praying for the
abolition of the opium farm monopoly. As was to be
expected, their petition was most unfavourably received,
the answer, which was almost tantamount to an ac-
knowledgment of its baneful influence on the commerce
of the island, being to the effect that the revenue de-
rivable from the enactment could not be dispensed with.
The effects of Sir John Davis's misgovernment are
every month becoming more and more apparent;n the
worst predictions have

In proof of the falling state of the colony a coFre-

fourteen facts,
U nfowhriteuhnaartealy certainly
is
no no occasion to signalise any one fact, when from east to
west of the island almost every object that meets the
view only reminds the observer of the lamentable condi-
tion of the colony, our splendid harbour itself, so bare of
shipping, being a convincing proof of the absence of
anything like commercial activity • but, too fully aware
of these facts, we would rather direct attention to the
interrogation, " How can a share of prosperity be brought
back to the colony?" We tear that this question will
not have due weight, even amongst those most deeply
interested in the discussion, so long as its destiny is
overcast by the lowering incumbency of such a ruler—
the want of confidence in whore, arising out of many
causes, (as an instance of one we might mention the re-
cent denouement in the Supreme Court), would alone preo-
elude that co-operation of the principal inhabitants
aience so
indispensable to ensure any good result, d
apathy which exists.

After the usual complimentary toasts, the Chairman, in
proposing " Prosperity to the Scottish Hospital," expa-
tiated on the national importance of an institution which, in
the absence of all legal claim toh parochial relief, whad-
ministered to Scotchmen

merly the governors had been enabled to fund some of the
money contributed to the society in the shape
ofdonations
and legacies, its
income last year was not equal to the expen-
diture. Independently of the annuities given to pensioners,
relief has been administered to more than 300 poor persons
every month ; on the average to 4,000 in the course of the
year. The deficit, occasioned partly no doubt by the
peculiar pressure of the present season, amounted to nearly
six hundred pounds. He trusted the patriotism and
generosity of Scotchmen would not allow this arrear to
remain an incubus on the society's operations ; but
that by augmenting its resources they would extend the
sphere of its most useful and beneficent operations. The
secretary then announced a subscription of upwards of 4001.
