Toffuzzul Hossain Khan, ex-Nawab of Furrucka
bad, arrived at Aden on 27th ult. in H.M.S. Bere
nice, in charge of a European constable. He was
conveyed on the Ist inst. to the north shore of the
harbour, and liberated on the Arab coast, with a
warning that should he ever return to India, he
would forfeit his life. One thousand rupees was
given to the Nawab, to enable him and his two ser-
vants to make their pilgrimage to Mecca. There
is little doubt but that he will meet with the ready
sympathy of his co-religionists the Arabs, and be
regarded as a martyr to his faith.
Sir Hope Grant has arrived at Calcutta, and will
shortly embark for the Celestial Empire. In addi-
tion to other vessels taken up by Government, the
Eranee, Vortigcrn, Queen of England, Lord Dal-
housie and Lady Ann, have been engaged for the
conveyance of troops to China. Of the Native
Army to accompany the expedition, the greater
portion are Seikh regiments, two of which were
recently encamped on the Maidan.
The Madras Times and Spectator learns that the
head-quarters of the C hief Commissioner in the
Hyderabad assigned districts are to be removed
from Jaulnah to Nuldroog, but the necessary public
buildings not having been yet completed, he will,
it is said, take up his abode at Mominabad for the
monsoon. It is also reported that Colonel Barrow's
appointment to the office has been deferred for six
months, during which period Mr. Bullock will con-
tinue to act as Chief Commissioner.
The same contemporary states that the Secretary
of State has granted a pension of £lOO per annum
during her widowhood to Mrs. Robertson, widow
of the late Captain Robertson, Master Attendant at
Tuticorin, who lost his life while crossing the
Paumben Strait on his way to Cochin. The pen-
sion is to commence from the-date on which Capt.
Robertson's successor assumed office, the full pay
of the deceased having been disbursed to Mrs. Ro-
bertson up to that time.
The Lucknow Herald learns that Mummoo Khan
intends engaging the professional services of one of
the most eminent members of the Bar to defend
him on his trial.
The Englishman learns that an application was
made to Government on the part of the King of
Oude for leave to send an accredited agent to Eng-
land, in order to prosecute his claim for the resto-
ration of his kingdom. The Governor-General's
reply has been to the effect that the question has
been definitely settled by her Majesty's Govern-
ment, and that there was no use whatever in spend-
ing money in the direction he proposed.
The Neilgherries, we find, are to be made a penal
settlement for European convicts in India. The
prison intended for their reception is being rapidly
built. We wonder the European inhabitants of
the hills have not offered a remonstrance to this.
We think that some other place than the " hills"
should be selected as a penal settlement for Euro-
pean convicts in India.
The Englishman hears from Nepaul that the
Lucknow Begum forced her way into Nepal by
means of her gold. A fight was got up between
the Goorkhas and her followers, and the former
gave way, announcing to their Government that
they had been driven back by the Lucknow army.
The success of the Begum's ruse ended in herself
and followers finding a safe place of refuge in the
Nepaul Hills, at the expense of her7gold mohurs,
which appear of more consideration to the Goorkhas
than their fame as heroes.

SHIPPING.—The Gratitude, of Cardiff, after leav-
ing Pomaron River, Guadiana, laden with copper
ore, for Liverpool, encountered a succession of
north-easterly gales. On the 13th she shipped
heavy seas, which carried away the bulwarks, stove
the boats, and did other damage. The master,
finding the crew exhausted by working the pumps,
stood the ship for Gibraltar, where she arrived on
the 14th in a sinking condition. The British
barque Mary Bannatyne, from Gibraltar to Eng-
land, with Indian corn, foundered at sea on the
11th.
