The only information we have of the Cavalry is
afforded by the Mefussillte of the 10th—" On dit,
that it is to consist of a troop or squadron of the 2d
Dragoon Guards." Of the irregular cavalry the
same journal has heard that it will comprise " 600
volunteers from the four regiments of Sikh Cavalry."
The Delhi Gazette also says that three squadrons
irregular cavalry, under Capt. Fane, are going, and
that volunteers are wanted. Capt. Fane is second
in command of the 3d Cavalry Regiment Punjaub
Irregular Force.

Of Queen's troops (Infantry) the Oude Gazette,
usually reliable, has heard that the 24th (Ist Batta-
lion) are likely to go; and the Poonah Observer
mentions the 43d, it being ordered to Calcutta.
The latter, however, is more likely to remain at
the Presidency, to supply the place of the 60th and
99th.

Towards completing the five battalions of Native
Infantry, the sth and 15th Punjaub Infantry, the
33d Bengal Native Infantry, now at Peshawur, and
the 60th Ghoorkas, have volunteered their services.
Sir Hope Grant is said (Lucknow Herald) to have
applied for an escort of the Bays to accompany him
to China.
The Delhi Gazette has been informed] that intel-
ligence has been communicated to Government to
the effect that the Nana was seen some little time
ago on his road to Badrinath, disguised as a jogi
or religious mendicant ! He is being looked after.
