Harwich .

The Harwich Steam Packet Company is formed for the purpose of
establishing steam communication with the ports of Northern
Germany, Holland, and Belgium, by which a considerable saving of
time and expense will be effected in voyages to and from those
ports.
_ _

Itis intended to provide powerful steam boats, built en the most
improved principles in respect of construction and engines, replete
with every possib'e convenience and comfort, and adapted to the
ample accommodation of passengers ; and that they shall also carry
a limited quantity of suitable cargo.
The expected traffic by the steamers has been ascertained from the
most correct data procurable, and the Tables of Traffic framed with
the greatest care ; and from the calculations made, the receipts of
the Steam Packet Company, after making ample dedu lion for ex-
penses, will produce at least 7 per cent. upon the capital. In addi-
tion to this, the calculations show that the Eastern Counties and
Eastern Union Railway Companies will be largely benefited by an
important increase of reventte to their respective railways.
Arrangements have been made with the Eastern Counties and
Eastern Union Railway Companies, by which the Proprietors of the
Steam Packet Company will receive a Dividend of not less than 5
per cent. per annu n on their subscriptions; and therefore the Shares
will be distributed among the Proprietors of those two Railway
Companies cad of the Northern and Eastern, and Ipswich and Bury
St. Edmund's Railway Companies, in the proportion of 24,000 Shares
to the Eastern Counties and Northern and Eastern Railway Compa-
nies, and 6,000 Shares to the Eastern Union and Ipswich and Bury
St Edmund's Railway Companies.
The registered Proprietors of the said several Railway Companies
desirous of participating in the benefits of this undertaking, are re-
quested to signify their intention to take tile shares allotted to them
by paying the deposit thereon to either of the Company's bankers.
The proportion of the Harwich Steam Packet Company's Shares for
the holders of the new 141. 16s. Shares in the Eastern Counties Rail-
way Company, and for the holders of Scrip Shares in the northern
and Eastern Railway Company, will he set apart for them, and each
holder, on transmitting his Scrip to the office of the Eastern Counties
Railway Company, and requesting an allotment of shares, will re-
ceive a letter of allotment accordingly. The shares not applied for
on or before the 10th day of October next by such Scrimiolders, will
be allotted by the Directors to such other persons as shall appear to
be most eligible.

INDIAN NEWS.
SINDE.

Tatters have reached 1;frOul---Kurrac'nee to the 16th
ult., containing a good deal of valuable intelligence.
Some portion of the news has already been laid before
the readrr through different channels and in a thtferent
shape. One of our correspondent:, who emphatically
characterises Sind,: as " the land of death and desola-
tion," affords us some particulars relative to the lament-
able effects (If cholera in her Majesty's 36th, which it is
well worth our while to transcribe. lie observes that
the unfOrtunate regiment in question is very nearly
destroyed, and that it will take. a long time to renovate
it at all. On the 14th of June the disease broke out in
its ranks with such violence that on the following day
upwards of 70 men were buried, 60 on the 16th, and 54
on the 17th, making a total of 184 men in three days I
The loss up to the date of our friend's letter was as
follows :
_

Sergeants ... ...
Corporals ... ...
Drummers ... ...
Privates ... ...
Women ... ...
Children ...

Total ... ..• 276
There were, besides, between 70 and 80 in hospital. All
the staff sergeants had died, with the exception of the
quartermaster-sergeant and armourer. The regiment
had lost its sergeant-major, band sergeant, paymaster's
clerk, orderly room clerk, mater tailor, schoolmaster-
sergeant, and hospital sergeant; a sad blow to this un-
fortunate corps. Strange to say, those who fell victims
to the scourge were principally the finest, strongest, and
the most powerful men in the regiment; the weak men,
and patients who were in hospital, almost all recovered.
Of thirty-four grenadiers who died in four days, the
average height was a fraction more or less than six feet;
in fact, the front rank of that company had been mown
down as if by a chain shot. Nine of the band had died.
No fresh cases had occurred since the 12th, when three
were admitted, one of which proved fatal. The weather
had improved, but was still very hot. It was com-
puted that at least 9,000 native,' had died in and about
Kurrachee. The Fusiliers and Rifles had lost altogether
between 90 and 100 men each, the 12th Native Infantry
about 80 or 90; the Beloochee battalion upwards of
100. The 3d Native Infantry had been more for-
tunate, having lost only about 50 men, but the
disease had not yet left them. Only three officers
in all had died, viz., Captain Seton, of the Fusiliers,
Lieutenant Dawson, of the 12th Native Infantry, and
the Governor's nephew, Captain J. M. Napier. The
conduct of the officers of her Majesty's BGth, during
the dreadful scenes that took place while the pestilence
lasted, is described to have been most exemplary. From
morning to night they were constantly in the hospital,
endeavonring to keep up the spirits of the men, who
were enthusiastic in their expressions of gratitude for
such attention. Many of the unhappy sufferers are said
to have expired without pain ; they merely complained
of being sick, lay down, and died ! One of our inform-
ants states that it was more like a plague than anything
else, so rapid and awful was the mortality—so in-
exorable the Angel of Death. It is supposed, as stated
by us on Monday, the scarcity and badness of the food
procurable at Kurrachee were the chief cause of the
malignity of the cholera. " The congregating," says a
correspondent, " such an immense force of Europeans at
Kurrachee was, without exception, the most foolish act
ever perpetrated—particularly during the hot season,
and with two regiments under canvas. The resources
of the place were wholly inadequate to their support,
and the consequence was, that for a month before the
pestilence broke out, nothing but common carrion
could be purchased in the bazaar. The food, there-
fore, given to the men was of the worst description,
and although, had it been better, cholera would still have
appeared; yet the want of proper nourishment predis-
posed the men to the disease, and consequently the
mortality was infinitely greater than it otherwise would
have been. One proof of this is to be found in the es-
cape, in a great measure, of the officers, who of course
procured comparatively wholesome food, and out of
180, only six were attacked, one of whom (Captain
Napier) having been in such a state of ill health pre-
viously that the slightest disease, of any kind, would
have carried him off. The circumstance of her Ma-
jesty's 86th having suffered to a greater extent than
the other regiments, is to be attributed to the fact
that they had been more than two years and a half in
Sinde—had been stationed at Hyderabad during the
hot season of 1844, where they buried in one month
upwards of 20 men, struck dead by the sun—and had
returned to Kurrachee in August more like invalids
than working men. They had marched: nearly 1,290
miles to Bhawulpore and back, were nearly four months
under canvas, and on their arrival at Kurrachee, in-
stead of being placed in the barracks they had for-
merly vacated, and to the occupation of which their
long and arduous march certainly entitled them,
they had been again put in tents. Their
constitutions, previously weakened by the climate
and the march, could not bear up against the disease,
and the mortality amongst them was consequently more
than double that of any other regiment. The survivors
seemed, on parade, more like patients discharged from
a fever hospital than the soldiers of probably the finest
regiment (certainly in point of men) that ever landed in
'cilia. Ilad the corps been sent to Bombay or Poonah,
previous to the close of the season—and for which there
was plenty of time—all the horrors it has sustained, and
the dreadful loss it has suffered, migle,have been spared it.
Colonel Derinzey, we regret to hear, has been exceed-
ingly ill ever since the cholera broke out, and it is
doubted whether he will be able to do duty with the
86th again."
A correspondent mentions that Sir Charles Napier
had a meeting of all the medical men at Government-
house on the 16th, for the purpose of inspecting and
examining the different articles of beer, brandy, &e.,
given to the men. The result is not stated. The men
had been previously restricted to two drachms of arrack
per diem, which, as a matter of course, had produced
much grumbling.
Her Majesty's 17th at Sukkur were very sickly. They
were to start from that place for Kurrachee on the Ist
instant. One of our letters remarks :—" Should the
cholera catch them on the way, they will be annihilated
as their strength is completely prostrated from the effects
of the tremendous heat." Supplies of all sorts were, it
is needless to say, extremely scarce and dear, and the
lack of the necessaries of life was likely to be still further
increased on the arrival of the 17th. "Ere long," says
a correspondent, " the Commissariat folks assure us we
shall be obliged to eat one another !"—Bombay Tele-
graph, August 5.
There is considerable excitement amongst the troops
in Sinde, who expect, as a Bengal army is to be as-
sembled on the banks of the rivers Sutlej and Bess, that
they will be called on to move this season to Inawulpore
in the same manner as they did last year. The prospect
of the capture of Mooltan is sufficiently encouraging.
That city will soon form one of the chief British
entrepOts in the west of India.--Gentleman's Gazette,
August 18.

Lall Singh promised his attention to the matter on the
morrow. Sirdar Sultan Mahomed Khan, Barrukzie,
being present, stated before the Sirkar that Futteh
Khan, Tawaonah, was a faithful servant to the Sirlear,
that Futteli Khan, Lon, and Shore Mahomed were his
personal enemies; that their representations were of the
most interested description, and th -a if the territory
lately iii dispute were not left cot rely to the manage-
ment of the Tawannab, there was ne chance of tran-
quillity prevailing amongst the people. Raja Lell Singh
replied, that as the best way to put an end to the dis-
putes, the Sirkar had resumed the country, but if, on
examieation it were found that the Sirdar's re-
presentations were correct, the territory should
be again made over to Futteh Khan. Assa-
nund, agent to the Dewan Moolraj, Nizam of
Mooltan, who had gone to the agent of the Governor-
General, to represent the situation in which his master
was placed, has returned to Lahore. He was received
at the 'Surber, presented a nuzzur of five rupees and
had a long private conference with Raja Lall Singh.
It is reported that he has brought letters from the Bri-
tish authorities to Raja Lall Singh, to the effect that
the Raja had much better leave matters as they were in
Illooltan, taking only what was really due to the Sirkar,
and leaving all former accounts to be settled by the Ma-
haraja himself when he should be capable of managing
his own affairs. I cannot say how far this may be true,
but it is stated that the communication of Assanund had
a sensible effect on Raja Lall Singh, who appeared to
rise from the conference greatly dispirited. He imme-
diately sent for Lalla Jussmull, the Mooltan Vakeel at ;
Lahore, and held a long conference with him. It was
then ordered that a purwannah should be addressed to
Dewar) Moolraj containing assurances of the gooodwill
of the Sirkar! The Suwars of the Moohajeea Dhera,
who had gone to the agent of the Governor-General,
have returned, and the Dufterees have since received in•
structions to pay them.
JULY 23.—Another purwannah was this day ordered
to be written to Dewan Moolraj, stating that accounts
had been received in Lahore of some disturbances having
taken place in certain parts of Mooltan, consequent on
the careless nature of his government, and that he should
devote his immediate attention to the putting down of
the same, conducting himself in all respects as a faithful
servant of the Sirltar. Ha was at the same time in-
formed that the matters in dispute between the Sirkar
and himself would be speedily brought to a favourable
issue, and that his Vakeel dussmull should be
made fully aware of everything. A news-letter
has arrived from the camp of Misr Bhugwan Singh, in
,r which it is stated that he had deputed a detachment
under Khuzan Singh, Chajeea, towards Munkera, to take
charge of that fort, and to settle the country in its neigh-
bourhood. The letter further went on to say, that when
the Chajeea had arrived within a few koss of Munkera,
the Killedar intimated his intention of offering resistance,
being supported by a party sent by Dewan Moolraj to
his assistance. Khuzan Singh hearing this halted where
he was, and wrote to the Misr for further instructions. The
Misr bade him remain on his present ground till further
orders. Raja Lall Singh, hearing this, dispatched a pur-
wannah to Misr Bhugwan Singh, stating that as there
was every prospect of the disputes with Moolraj being
speedily adjusted keen amicable manner, he must desire
Khuzan Singh to retire some distance pending further
instructions. Sirdar Heera Singh has received the title-
deeds of the Goojranwallah Jaglieer. The Vakeel of
Tej Chund, Kardar, represented that Sirdar Heera
Singh had seized two or three Sirkaree villages, a matter
in which the Kardar did n it think proper to interfere.
Hurput Rae, the Sirkar's Vakeel, was immediately sent
for, asked to meet the accusation, and desired to write
to his master to give up the villages immediately.
Dewan Deena Nath this day produced a number of office
papers bearing the seals of Maharaja Runjeet Singh,
Kurruck Singh, and Shere Singh, and recommended that
they should be forwarded to the British authorities,
which was done forthwith. Sirdar Tej Singh repre-
sented that General Sultan Maimood had requested his
intercession respecting a jagheer, on which one of 10,000
rupees was bestowed on hiin.—De/hi Gazette, Aug. 1.
Our Lahore letters are more eventful than usual. We
regret to hear that her Majesty's 80th Foot have lost
several men from apoplexy, and that the Artillery also
have suffered. A medical friend tell us, that the
European soldiers expose themselves too frequently to
the influence of the midday sun, which at this season of
the year is more powerful perhaps than at any other, and
that in many cases these deaths are thereto attributable.
The svoys wore very healthy at Lahore, and on the
whole the officers bear the climate well. The heat is
described as intense at times.
We are told that the bulk of the Seikh army is scat-
tered over the country round about Umritser and
Lahore, ready to concentrate the moment we cross the
river, should that ever take place. Meantime all is still,
and the neighbourhood is as quiet as could be wished.
The hordes of Akhalees, who came for their back pay,
were very orderly and well behaved, and by no means
clamorous or turbulent. Lall Singh at first wanted to
put them off, if not set aside their claims by intimida-
tion, but he evidently found that that would not do. and
so resorted to other means to appease them. What
these means were our letters do not say, but we are told
the " immortal" ones have dispersed.
It is ascertained that a few only of the Seikh soldiers
went to Junamoo; some are located for the present at
Peshawur, and others have taken up their abode in Mool-
tan, but the bulk still hover on or near the Revco.
It is generally "believed" in Lahore, that in October
the forces will move into camp outside the city, and that
after an interval, which, according to circumstances, may
be longer or shorter, they will march into the dosb, and
there await whatever duty fate may design for fulfilment.
For our own part we fear, and we have reason to do so,
that a subsidiary force will be organised in the Punjaub!
For the Ranee and for Lall Singh it will be the best
thing that could pos.ibly be devised. For the interests
of the company, and for the welfare of the people, it will
he about the worst measure that ever was conceived.
Ono of our correspondents says, that of all the Seikhs,
Punjaubees, and men of Hindostan, with whom he has
conversed," there is not a man who believes Lall Singh
would live a month after the withdrawal of our forces,"
and that " the universal wish seems to be that we
should take the country." We can easily understand
the feelings which prompts the expression of this de -
sire; but it is unnecessary for us to repeat what we have
so often urged, and therefore we return to abstract from
our letters the items which have been kindly communi-
cated unto us.
A report prevailed a short time
ago, that a very se-
rious row had taken place at Jurnmoo, in which some
mischief had befallen to Captains Broome and Nichol-
sod—of what nature was not stated. It turns out, how-
ever, that the rumour was utterly unfounded. It was
communicated to, us at the time it was current, but we
had reason to believe it a mere rumour, and therefore
suppressed it.
It is considered at Lahore that Lall Singh did not ex-
actly do the thing he ought to have done in receiving at
court the Killedar of Rote Kaugra, and presenting him
with a horse.
A friend at Lahore had heard that they were all at
loggerheads in Caubul. The Ameer and his son had
quarrelled, it was said, and the latter was off to Buk-
hara.
Other letters, dated 29th ult.,
speak of a skirmish
having taken place between the Seikh troops and those
