THE TROOPS IN SINDE.—The following is an ex-
tract of a letter just received from John Lavell, a private
in the Ist battalion of the 60th Royal Rifles, by his
friends residing at Oakley-green, near Windsor, dated
—" This is one of the most unhealthy stations in India.

broke last. It
out in the camp on the 15th of June, and
took from the 86th Regiment of the Line about 200 men,
from the Bombay Fusileers 150 men, and from our
regiment, the most fortunate in the camp, 83 men, in
only five days. On the 15th we buried 18 men in one
large grave we dug for them, and on the following day
27 of my comrades and one child in another large pit.
Coffins could not be provided, and the immediate burying
of the bodies was indispensable. They were, therefore,
sown up in canvass, and laid in one grave, packed together
like herrings in a barrel. Lime was then strewn over
them, to consume the remains, and to keep off infection.
The number of the natives who died during the time the
cholera raged was estimated at 6,000 ; but no accurato
accounts can be given, as they fled from their homes at
the first outbreak to the mountains, and those who sur-
vived did not return until the expiration of upwards of
six weeks afterwards, when all further danger was sup-
posed to be over. The scene, during the raging of the
cholera, was awful in the extreme. Since we have been
in the country we have lost in our regiment, 1 officer, 122
men, 22 women, and 47 children. Lieutenant-Colonel
Marsham is now in command of the battalion." 1
SEVERN NAVIGATLON.—It is expected that in .the
course of a fortnight the work, will be so tar completed
as that a cl, ar six feet channel will be open from .Stour-
port to Gloucester. Toe company will then' be cm.
powered to exact tolls. The engineeers express their
belief that the present number of locks and weirs will be
sufficient, and that the required depth may at alj times
' be maintained by 'dredging.— Worcester Journal.
