under review, as the town al Orded ample protection, with
proper precaution, against anything bid shell. The muskets
of the sepoys cannot, of course, compete with matchlocks at
such a distance, a circumstance 'which•gives the garrison -a
good deal of, confidence, and on -,the 26th they-made a sills-
F with the -optionof burning the portion.of the
.town in froth
of the occupying party. -.They _succeeded .in firing one or
two of the :houses, tut they- retreated in double quick time
when the sepoys turned out againstethem. OA.. the 27th,
the Raja of Kurtoeh, who had collected a. force .01 about
2,500 men iwthe • neighbourhood elf Kangra, to -assist the
44th, andwho was encamped on'the road in rear of • the fiirt,
lent them three of his pit guns and a howitz-r; and prepara-
tions were,- 'making for-putting them in battery on the
night of that day, .s., not as to. leave the amusement of firing
all to the enemy. Three companies occupied the town of
Kangra, one the Fort of Mulkera, and the remainder
were in the- camp at ti: foot --of the hill. They had
pretty hard work „of it, being -constantly on' the alert and •
unable• to cook, or even to take off their.accontreMents, the
weather at the same time getting rather warm, being from
92 to 96. in tents, and higher in the Mtn, the feeling of heat
being conSiderably dirninished, however, by the 'cool and re-.
freshing aspect, some ten or twelve miles oft; in a north-.
easterly direction, of a snowyrange; the snow was, however,
disappearing fast. No information -can be obtained of the
intentions of the garrison, as no one would venture into the
place for love or money. Its appearance is said to be won-
derfully strong, but not at all calculated to stand the attack
of the mortars now on their way. The garrison are reported
to have a lakh of rupees in their charge, which they are much
more 'likely to fall upon themselves than to allow the be-
siegers to have, and the guns are now stated to be not more
than seven or eight in number, and none of them large, the
largest shot picked up not exceeding four and a half poends.
The valley between the fort and the snowy range above
mentioned is highly cultivated. We ought to have.men-
tioned • in its proper place the fact that Misr Roop LIU had
reached Kangra on the afternoon of the 26th, with another
urgent purwannah from Lahore, but it had not" - been
sent in up to the last advices received in Jullindur.
On the first intimation to the authorities of the
recusaney of the Killedar, --representations were made.
to 'the Lahore durbar, who issued purwannah after , pur-
wannah, , and dispatched them by the most confidential
servants, enjoining immediate surrender, but -as there was

not to wait and see the result, but to prepare at once for the
reduction of the place by force. Brigadier Wheeler was ac-
cordingly directed to issue the necessary orders, and the 2d
Grenadiers marched from Jnllindutosuthe.2sll of April, the
11th Native Infantry at Jullindur, and 4th Irregular Cavalry'
at Hoosheearpoor, being directed at the same time to prepare
for the march. A battery of mortars, with a light field
battery, was ordered to be got ready at Phulloor, where the
reserve of the Artillery are stationed, and the whole
were to march under escort of a wing of the G3d as
soon as ready, under the personal command of Brigadier
Wheeler, Major Lawrence, Lieutenant Edwards, and Mr.
John Lawrence, the commissioner of the Trans-Sutlej
country, accompanying the force. The general impres-
sion at Jullindur, was that there would not be much
resistance, after the first shell bursts in the fort, al-
though the garrison are understood to consist chiefly
of Akalees, and the authorities seemed to entertain
the same idea, as they have resolved on provisioning the de
tachment to a very small extent. Major Mayne, com-
mandant of the 10th Irregular Cavalry, had reached Jullin-
dur without a single desertion in his corps, and was to proceed
on the 29th of April to Moheerian, about thirty miles beyond
Hoosheearpoor, and close on the banks of the Beas. We
understand his corps has elicited admiration from all who saw
it on its progress. The weather is on all hands still repre.
sented as very delightful, and had been considerably reduced
in temperature by a thunder-storm on the 21st of April,
followed by a heavy shower of rain. In fact, should the
climate prove in other seasons as favourable as this, we
shall find the stations in the new Doab amongst the most
coveted by the Bengal army, notwithstanding the grumbling
there has been, and which is to be attributed to temporary
causes."

On the whole, so far as the appearances of things hitherto
warrants us in drawing any conclusion,no arrangements could
have been made promising to turn out more auspiciously than
those just concluded. We have secured the tranquillity
of the Punjaub by chastising, disarming, and _bumbling
the tyrant military by which it was oppressed ; we have in-
flicted all the punishment on them state necessity required,
and this was less than was commensurate with their crimes,
so much more are we entitled to triumph in our mercy and
magnanimity. We have taken care that no such organise-

or endanger the frontier of _ their neighbours. We have se-
cured from the ill-gotten hoards of Runjeet.Singh an indem-
nity adequate to cover the expenses of the war. We have
greatly improved the strength of our frontier, acquired a
territory which yields of free revenue nearly three times the
amount of the total returns from Sinde, which are swallowed
up.tive-fold by our expenses on the Indus; and finally the
dilate of our new acquisition is such that the troops may be
pushed forward during the heats from the more southerly
cantonments for the improvement of their health and increase
of their comfort. To the people of India we could have given
no more irrefragable proof of our power or magnanimity and
forbearance than that which we have supplied.
There is perfect tranquillity and general good health
amongst the troops along the ludus, and all look forward to
the diminution of the cost of maintaining the country,
which, after all, must remain excessive, to the extinction of

(FROM orn OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
CALCUTTA, MAY 9.

Here in Calcutta there is Tittle stirring except wind and
fire. The former has been blowing very strongly, but quietly
of late; and the latter has been sweeping off a goodly num-
ber of huts in various parts of the town. On the Gth there
were fires in three or four different places ; and one of them,
described in eight lines of one of the papers, is said to have
destroyed above eleven hundred houses! There was another
great conflagration yesterday, which destroyed a vast num-
ber of native tenements, and one or two liVes.

The weather continues very hot and dry, not a shower
having fallen here, and very litte rain in the indigo districts—
bad prospects for the planters.
A few days ago Baboo ]Nutty Lall Leul proposed to the
Dhurma Subha, a Society of Orthodox Hindoos, to petition
Government for some enactment in favour of the re-marriage
of Hindoo widows. It appears that his proposal caused a
great stir in the meeting, and was loudly exclaimed against,
which is not to be wondered at, when it is remembered that

the society was originally established to oppose the abolition
of Suitte. You may not have heard that' this same Afutty
Lall, some time ago, offered a premium. of 10,000 rupees to
any Hindoo who would marry a widow. The prize has never
been claimed.
The wet dock committee, appointed some two or three-
years ago, has at length laid its report before Government.
It recommends the construction of docks a little below the
fort. Of course we shall soon hear of a joint-stock company
being formed in England for carrying out this or some similar
plan.

There has, it is said, been an attempt at a counter-revolu-

tion in Burmab, for the purpose of restoring Tharawaddie to
the throne. The friends of the ex-King, however, appear to
have lost heart when the time for action arrived. The new
Government is still well spoken of—at all events by the
Moulmein newspaper.
We have heard something of some disturbances in Borneo,
but no particulars. I need not, however, trouble myself on
this account just now, as. I am aware I cannot now send you
any news from the eastward of this place—the China and
Ceylon steamers always forestalling me.
For commercial news I must refer you to the Price Cur-
rent sent herewith, .contenting myself with saying generally
that trade, except, perhaps, in respect to sugar, continues
nearly as dull as per last advices. Prospects for indigo crop
very bad, in consequence of want of rain t but it is though t
that now even abundance of rain would not make the crop an
average one._

Nothing very remarkable has transpired since Saturday
evening, when I made up my letter for the regular mail.

The Precursor, which left town on the 3d, did not get out
to sea until the 7th, owing to the strength of the wind right
in her teeth. The weatherwise foretell a gale, and the ma-
jority of them fiked It for to-day; but though the sky looks
wild, there are no signs of its immediate approach. There
was a puff yesterday evening, which looked like the begin-
ning of the storm, but it blew over. It is very. probable,
