AFFAIRS OF THE PUNJAUB.
(From the Debats.)
The intelligence lately received from India has com-
nstuaicated no nee fact; they were, however, once more on
the eve of great events in:that country, of which, as usual,
the Punjaub is to be the theatre. The next campaign
(that is the seven months commencing from October) will
we doubt not, be fertile in catastrophes which will
modify considwbly the situation of British India, not
only as regards its geographical limits, but also its
relations with central Asia. Our readers will doubt-
less recollect, that according to the treaty of Cossour,
the Ist October, 1846, is fixed as the epoch for the
evacuation of Lahore by the English army. Sir Henry
Hardinge supposed that the interval of six months thus
left to Queen Chanda and her Minister, Lal Singh,
would suffice to establish their Government on a solid
basis. He was-also inclined to think that Gholab Singh
would be thenceforth deprived of any interest in the nu-
meraus intrigues which had so long agitated the king-
dom, and that the Khalsas had been sufficiently chas-
tised to be disgusted of mutinies. Lal Singh and the
Queen, however, with that inexplicable thoughtlessness
which has successively ruined all the ephemeral dynas-
ties of India, instead of thinking of consolidating their
Government, have been content to live from day to day,
and have only employed the delay accorded them in en-
joying themselves, and leading a dissolute life. As long
as they can breathe in peace under the protection of the
English bayonets, their Court has been no less profli-
gate, and their associates no less frivolous and infamous
than before ; nor have their orgies been at all discon-
tinued, only there has been a little less noise and scandal.
Until his advent to the Ministry, Lal Singh was despised ;
he was regarded merely as an upstart, without courage
and without merit. Now, by violating every usage, and
wounding every prejudice of his countrymen, he has suc-
ceeded in making himself detested, and it seems certain
that the mass of the people await but the departure of
the last British squadron from Lahore, to rise as one
men and murder both the Maharanee and her paramour.
Sir Henry Hardinge does not in the least deceive himself
on this point. Thus, although he is preparing to fulfil
the letter of the treaty, by withdrawing, on the Ist of
October, the English division stationed in the Punjaub,
he is at the same moment assembling considerable forces
at Ferozepore, between the Sutlej and the Beas, in order
to be ready to make the best ef whatever events may
occur at Lahore. The rising of the people against the
Maharanee, or Queen Regent, will be the signal for the
immediate re-entry into Lahore of the army of eccura-
tion. ,This will afterwards be converted into a sub-
sidiary army, that is, it will be definitively installed in
the country, of which it will constitute the sole armed
force, absorbing the entire revenue fur its pay and sub-
sistence. Tbekingdom of Lahore will thus have undergone
the common destiny, a Id will be classed in the same cate-
gory as Oade, Hyderabad, Nagpore, &c., whose political
existence is but a vain phantom. By the treaty of Cossour
the In ritage of Runjit Singh was divided into two dis-
tinct kingdoms—the plain and the mountain; the delta
of the fire rivers, alid the western rem of Casmere and
the Himalaya. Lal Singh governs at Lahore in o,e
name of the young Dhulip Singh, m hile:Gholab Singh
has been recognised as the independent Sovereign of
Jarno-i. Gbolab Singh, however, has not in return, in
his dealings with the Company, displayed the gratitu(!e
expected from him; the remains of the Khalsa army has
found an asylum with him; they have rallied arou•td his
banner, and immoderately increased his battalions. It
is as() said that the old chief lc,eps up a very active Cl.r-
n•spomlenee with Akhbar Khan, and with a c2rtain
envoy from Persia, charged with a mission of intrigue in
Central Asia. Lastly, on being summoned to deliver up
or tlismantle certain tbrtresses, Gholab Singh has flatly
refused. The result of all this is, that a war may soon be
looked for between him and Sir H. Hardinge. The contest
is likely to be of a serious character, and we should not be
astonished it' it were to be very prolonged; its result,
however, cannot he for a moment subject to doubt.
Gholab Singh will succumb in his turn, and the vic-
torious English will once again find themselves brought
back by the current of fatality before the iron g ;Vs of
the Khyber Pass. Be this as it may, and even sup-
posing that peace is not disturbed between the Indian
Government and the Punjaub, a decided intention is at-
tributed to the Governor-General of causing the terri-
tory and city of Moultan to be c °needed by Lal Singh
This news, which we believe to he authentic, is of grey
importance, and merits the utmost attention from states.

ADMIRALTY, Ocr. 27.
With reference to the dispatches from Rear-Admiral Sir
Thomas Cochrane, C. 8., which appeared in the Gazette of
the 29th of Sop' ember las', the following Naval Promotions

men generally. Moultan, in the hands of the English,
would become the general entrepot of commerce between
Europe and Asia. Situate in a fertile plain, watered by
the Chenab (the ancient Accinines), which has here a
width of 2,000 or 3 000 feet, and already counting a po-
pula'ion of 60,000 souls—this city, by the mercantile
spirit and industry of its inhabitants, and above all, by its
position, analogous to, and as well adapted for commerce
tits that of Calcutta, is destined to become the capital of
Western India. The day on which the British flag
shall be planted on its walls will open a new era of
greßtnesa and prosperity fur British supremacy in

have taken pliice, dated th'e Bth of Ju1',1846, the day or the
capture and destruction of the forts and batteries on the river

l'aynter. The Iluard have also directed that Edwatd Bur-
chatt, carpenter's crew of the Iris, shall receive a carpenter's
warrant, in the event of his being found qualified on his exa-
mination.

SUBSIDENCE ON THE tPSWICII AND BURY RAILWAY.
—Our rt riders are already aware that considerable diffi-
culty has been found in forming a necessary embankment
near Stowmarket, owing to the whole mass of earth re-
raterty subsiding-. It was suppscd that the spirited
Contractor had mastered this difficulty ; we regret to
hear, however, that on Friday last another sub iidence of
from four to five feet occurred. Three splendid new en-
gines, for the railroad from Ipswich to Bury St, Ed
round's, arrived, during last week, at the Ipswich station.
Prepares 'inns will shortly he made for constructing the
telegraph along the line from Ipswich to Colchester.
FIRE IN THE OLD JEWRY.—Monday night, between
eight and nine o'clock, a fire broke out upon the exten-
sive range of premi,cs belonging to Messrs. Dawson and
Sons, wholesale shoe and boot-dealers, Old Jewry, City
It originated in the front warehouse, and was caused by
a flue in the building. When discovered the flames hail
obtained a grong hold of the flooring and joistings, and
they were working their way up the wainscoting int,
several cases fine 1 with goods. Engines of the London
Brigade and West of England Company promptly at
tended, and the firemen from Watling.strect station at
once set to work, and by pouring water upon the fire,
and cutting away the woodwork, they succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames, but not before the premises, and
also the stock in trade, were considerably damaged. Ir.
could not be ascertained whether or not the firm was
insured. •
Coaopigitig INOUEST.—On Friday Mr. G. J. Mills,
deputy coroner for Middlesex, concluded an inquiry,
which was opened on Tuesday last, in the large room of
the Gloucester Arms Tavern, Gloucester-road, Kensing..
ton, into the circumstances attending the death of Henry
Shepherd, an infant child, fifteen weeks old, whose
death it was alleged, had been caused by a powder, in-
tended for the mother, having been improperly admi-
nistered to the deceased child, while the fare,ily were
casual inmates of the workhonse of the parish of St.
Mary Abbotts, Kensington. After a lengthened inves-
tigation, the jury returned the following verdict :
."The jury are unanimously of opinion that the de-
ccaied child, Elizabeth Shepherd, died in convulsions,
occasioned by the administration of a narcotic powder
by mistake, and they recommend that the parochial
authorities be requested to appoint competent persons to
receive and administer the medicines sent to the work-
house by the parish surgeon, and that he bo requested
to write the directions ou the medicines in a more legible
manner."

THE FRATRICIDE AT STEEPLE CLATDON..-OR
he 15th instant an inquiry was commenced at the
School-room, Steeple Claydon, before Mr. J. W,
Cowley, one of the Coroners for the county of Bucks,
and a respectable jury, into the circumstances attend-
ing the death of Thomas Shirley, who, it was alleged,
had died from injuries received in a pugilistic en•
counter with his brother, Joseph Shirley. The in-
quiry was twice adjourned, and did not terminate till
Friday last, the 23d instant. It appeared from the
evidence adduced that, on the night of Thursday, the
14th instant, the deceased and his brother Joseph were,
with other persons, drinking until a late hour at the
Milk Pail public-house in the village of Steeple Claydon.
A quarrel occurred between the two brothers, and they
went to the parish pound, where a fight took place be-
tween them at 2 o'clock in the morning. Both the men
appear to have been intoxicated ; but the deceased was
admitted to be in a much worse state than his
brother. After between 40 erd 50 rounds had been
fought, Thomas Shirley became insensible, and was
carried to his father's house in the village, where he
expired in a very short time. Mr. Denne, surgeon of
Buckingham, and Mr. Cowley, surgeon, of Winslow,
who has made a pod niortein examination of the body of
the deceased, were of opinion that death was occasioned
by blows or a fall. The jury returned a verdict of man-
slaughter against Joseph Shirley, as principal, and
against John Pangbourne and Richard Cross, who acted
as seconds to the combatants, as accessories. Shirley,

THF_I SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1846,

to my own ideas upon this subject, and which I have
before expressed. There h no doubt that if she is
allowed to be knocked ab.mt like an egg-shell by every
spring tide between this and next March (which, by the
bye, is a most stormy s.ea-nn of the year on this coast)
thf,re will be but beggarly account' of this splendid
specimen of naval architecture.
" It has been the wonder and surprise of every one
here that the parties most closely interested in this affair
have shown such apathy upon the subject of getting the
Great Britain off. Fine weather has now set in, and I
can see no difficulty in putting her afloat, if met with that
cordial support which ought to be shown on such an im-
portant undertaking.—Your most obedient,
" THOMAS S. GABRIEL, R.N."

BURGLARY.
A daring burglary in the open dayliglA was committed
on Sunday week at Gatcombe Rectory, the residence of
the Rev. Dr. Thompson, during his absence at Gatcombe
Church, where he was performing Divine servine. It ap-
pears to have been the custom in the family for one of the
servants to remain in the house whilst the others vs cnt to
church, and on this occasion it happened to be the foot-
man's turn to stay at home, where he temained until, at
the termination of the service, the old clerk of the parish,
Mr. Hookey returned for the purpose of depositing his
master's surplice and the keys of the church, the doctor
having gone to pay an afternoon visit to his schools. The
clerk, hearing some person in the. house veryearnestly in-
treating assistance, obeyed the injunction, and found the
footman bound hand and foot to the chair, with a table-
cloth thrown over his head. The ropes were soon cut and
he was released; upon which he related that, whilst sitting
in the pantry, he thought he heard the cat in the doctor's
room. On going out:to see he met a man coming out of
one of the apartments with a pistol in his hand ; that he
(the footman) retreated back to the pantry, preserving
sufficient presence of mind at the time to secure his own
property, by flinging his watch under the dresser shelves,
and where he procured a loaded gun, and advancing to meet
the robber, discharged thegun at him, but the contents nu-
fortunately went in another direction, and the charge was
lodged in ate stairs (which are shattered) ; that tla
robber then discharged his pistol in the footman's
face ; but his aim, it appeared, was also very wide of
the mark, as he escaped. The uproar produced a
second depredator from another apartment, who pur-
sued him into the pantry, where one of the gang
kept guard, whilst the other proceeded to search
for a rope, with which they bound the footman
in the manner already described. He then stated
that they picked his pocket of Bs. or 10s., but that on
his declaring it was all that he was possessed of, they
generously replaced half-a crown again in his pocket,
'° for luck." On examining the house, it was found
that the doctor's bureau had been forcibly broken
open, and a considerable amount of cash taken there-
from, and that the housekeeper's bedroom had
been entered, and from her box a large
sum of money and securities, to the amount of about
901., abstracted. Not an article of plate was missing,
although many very valuable articles lay within reach.
They were described as being young men, about the
middle size, and dressed in dark clothes, Mee sailors, one
of them wearing a cloth cap, and the other wearing a
painted hat, having red hair and whiskers.

HA MBURGH MAIL.
BERLIN, OCT. 19.—Though great sensation was
caused here by the resolution of the town of Naurnburg,
on the Seale, to refuse to elect a drputy to the Provincial
Assembly, yet greater surprise has been excited by the
fact, that within these few days four cr five other towns
in the province of Saxony, among which Zeitz, Weis-
senfils, and even Magdebourg, have taken similar reso-
lutions, or at least, have it in contemplation to take this
matter into their serious consideration. Another piece
of news, which is the subject of consideration in the
learned world, is that several Governments of the
German States have followed the example of the Grand
Duchy of Baden, to abolish the censorship of the press
in'the several states, and to introduce instead a general
legislation for the press in all Germany. As a principal
motive for this measure, it is alleged that it is a great
inconvenience that works which have been submitt-d
to the Provincial Censor, and have received his imprimatur,
are afterwards prohibited or confiscated. This circum-
stance has lately excited great attention on account of
the seizure of two works relating to religious subjects,
one of which is entitled, " The real nature of the pre-
sent religious Reformation ;" the other is called " The
relation of the friends of light to the Protestatit Church."
The prohibition is the more regretted because these
works relate to the answers of the most important ques-
tions of the day, and are both written in a very clear
style.

SCHNEIDEMIML, OCT. 13.—0 n the 27th of last month
the Christain Catholic Community of this place met to
deliberate or the subject of Divine worship, and resolved
that Pastor Czerski, at the consecration of the church
and afterwards, shall lay aside both the alb and cope,
and wear only the surplice and the gown, and also
to omit all ceremonies which approach the Romish forms,
and introduce a purely Christian worship. All this Mr.
Czerski has promised to abide by. His congregation
can no longer be isolated, unless the intrigues of an
elder, who has great influence over Czerski, should
succeed in defPPting the intentions of the congregation.
PosEte, Ocr. 10.—In consequence of the •late con-
spiracy of the Polish nobility, the use of the language in
Cie Homan Catholic Gymnasia of our province, is re-
stricted, according to a Ministerial rescript, which has
been put in force since Michaelmas. The German
language is to be employed in teaching in the Gymnasia
of Trzethesznouncl Ottronow, in the fourth class, whereas
formerly it commenced in the second.
COPENHAGEN, OCT. 19.—(Circular of the Royal
Danish Chancery of Oct. 15, to all the Royal boards
and magistrates in Denmark).—"ln consequence of the
request and desire of her Royal Highness the Crown
Princess of Denmark, Caroline Charlotte Mariana,
bora Princess of Mecklenburg Strelitz, on ac-
count of the indisposition with which she has
bon afflicted for many years, and her shat-
tered state of health, a.nd after his Royal Highness
the Crown Prince, though most reluctantly, has acceded
to this request, his Majesty the King, though with
the most heartfelt sorrow, has been pleased, on the 30th
of September, entirely to dissolve the marriage con-
tracted on the 10th of June, 1841, between his Royal
Highness the Crown Prince Frederick Charles Chris-
tian and her Highness the Duclivss Caroline Charlotte
Mariana of Mecklenburg Strohm."

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 7. His R)yal Highness
Prince Quitpold, of Bavaria, arrived here in the Aus-

rian steamboat, Ferdinand 1., from Galacz, and n

Ireperirial Internuncio.
PESTII, OCT. 16.—We regret to state that the hopes
which were entertained ywsterday and the day before,
31 the health of the Archduke Palatine, have been an•

nihilatei. The accounts received to-day are most un-
favourabb., as appears from the annexed bulletin which
has ju3t ben received :—" The expected continuance of

interrupted:by various sufferings, and the anf-ust patient
felt himself much weaker. After midnight he was more
composed—his pain decreased, and towards morning he
had 'some very brnken sleep. This morning (the 16th)
his Imperial Highness's sufferings are somewhat alle-
viated.'—Ofen, Oct. 16, IV ine in the Morning.

FATAL. ACCIDENT IN THE RIVER —Yesterday an
an inquisition was taken before Mr. William Baker, Co-
rover, at the Waterman's Arms, Ferry-road, Pop!ar, on
the body of Benjamin Naylor, a carpenter, aged fifty.
BIX. years. It appeared from the evidence that the de-
ceased resided in the above house, and was a single man.
On Sunday night lust he and a man named Francis Ray,
mate of a sailing barge called the Wheatsheaf, were
drinking in the Anchor and Hope publie-house, in the
Ferry-road. Ray was the worse for liquor, and the de•
ceased endeavoured to persuade him to go on board his
vessel, which was lying in the river off Millwall. Th,
deceased left Ray in the public-house for the purpose of
hailing the Wheatsheaf ter a boat,' and it is supposed In.

lighter moored off Hammond's Wharf and the shore.
Ile remained jammed in this place until the tide flowed,
and was drowned. His body was found on the following
day near the same spot. The jury returned a verdict of
"Found drowned."
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT HORTON.—Two LIVES
Losr.—Yesterday afternoon a most lameistable occur-
rence, by which two poor men lost their lives, took
place in Britannia-row, immediately opposite the Hoxtom
New Church, and but a few houses distant from the
police-station of the N division. Four houses had lately
been pulled down, and the materials cleared away, and
preparations were making for the erection of houses of
a superior class upon the site, for the foundations of
which the ground had been dug to a considerable
depth, and labourers were employed in excavating under
the street for the formation of cellars, when about one
o'clock yesterday afternoon the whole mass of earth
fell in upon those who were so employed. Several men
narrowly escaped destruction, but two labouring men
were completely buried. This having been ascertained,
a number of labourers were immediately sot to dig them
toouutg,
ha wclayeyyoreky of great difficulty, in consequence of the
nature of the soil, and after nearly three
hours' labour, one of the poor fellows was got out, but
apparently lifeless. The body was, however, conveyed
to the neighbouring police-station in Robert-street,
where every preparation had already been made, and
under the direction of Mr. Coward, the police surgeon,
assisted by many other professional gentlemen, various
means for restoring animation were tried, but unhappily
without effect. The deceased, whose name was James
Haynes, has left a widow and four children destitute.
At six o'clock last night his fellow-sufferer, tamed Wil-
iam Lockhart, was dug out quite dead.
PREACHING TO THE DEAF AND DUMB.--It may
not be generally known to the metropolitan public,
that there has been for some time past a chapel in Red
Lionesquare, in which public worship is performed
twice every Sunday for the sole benefit of the deaf and
dumb. The service is that of the Church of England,
singing and the music of the organ being, a 3 a
matter of course, omitted. The experiment of com-
municating to those unfortunate persons deprived of
hearing and the power of spsech, a knowledge of
the great truths of revelation by means of those " signs'
which constitute a language in themselves, have been
eminently successful. In the morning the chapel in
Red Lion-square is attended by from twenty to thirty
deaf and dumb persons. Lest Sunday evening the au-
die!,ce consisted of seventeen. After the usual prayers
had been gone through,. the teacher commented at con-
siderable length, by means of gestures, on the I.lth_
chapter of the let of Samuel, his audience seeming to
comprehend every idea which he sought to convey. The
bermes listed tor upw§rda of 44 lam and quarter.
