" OUDE AND NEPAUL.

" The temporising policy which we ventured to
predict as that likely to be adopted by Jung Baha-
door has been closely pursued by that Minister.
From all sides we hear that the Nepaulese army has
never moved to any great distance from Katmandoo,
and that Jung Bahadoor is negotiating. The Begum
it is said is in the Nepaul capital. The main body
of the rebels, is however, still on the borders, and
threatening tke Bengal district of Tirhoot. Kelly's
column on the 'Ganduk has been moved to block
the passes, and Brigadier Horsford has gone from
Baraitch with two regiments to Toolseepore. We
know nothing of the internal state of Nepaul except
from sources of which we cannot implicitly trust the
accuracy, but if rumour is to be credited the mal-
content party, numerous in Nepaul, is making com-
mon cause with the enemies of England, and threat-
ening us with a hill warfare, which can afford no
very agreeable prospect to the guardians of our
deficient exchequer.
"MISCELLANEOUS AND LOCAL.

" Two remarkable trials have been brought to a
close. Lonee Sing, of Mitowle in Oude, has been
found guilty, not merely of rebellion, but of the
crime of surrendering to the cruelty of the Lucknow
Durbar the Christian fugitives, of whom it will be

recollected that Miss Orr was one. He has been
sentenced to transportation for life. The Nawaub
of Furruckabad, found guilty after the fact, of the
massacre of the Futtehghur garrison on the Ganges
—before and after the fact, of the execution of the
melancholy remnants of that massacre—has been
sentenced to death. As yet, however, we are not
aware that this sentence has been confirmed. The
latest political change that we have to notice is the
appointment of Mr. Barnes Peacock to be Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court at Calcutta. This will
leave a new and lucrative piece of patronage in the
bands of Lord Stanley. It may be a question, how-
ever, whether it will be necessary in future to keep
up the office of legal adviser to the Supreme Govern-
_ _

ment now that India is under the direct control of the

Crown. We have already noticed the approaching
departure of Sir R. Hamilton from Indore. It will
be seen that he has had a farewell address from the
last of the Holkars. Whilst the place of agent in
Central India is thus vacant, that of agent in Raj-
pootana is also on the eve of surrender by the pre-
sent incumbent, Col. G. Lawrence, who goes to
England on sick leave. Colonel Lawrence, it
is said, will be succeeded by Major Eden,
political agent at Jeypore. At Hyderabad, in

the Nizam's territory, an attempt has been
made against the life of Saler Jung, the
Prime Minister, and England's greatest friend.
Fortunately, the assassin was prevented from carry-
ing out his purpose, and Ifas killed by the guards
in the presence of our own resident, Col. Davidson.
An effort is being made here to do honour to the
64th and 78th Regiments on their return from
active service. The 78th is to go home, the 64th
proceeds to Kurraehee. It is proposed, before either
of the regiments leave these shores, to give them
such an entertainment as may leave upon them,
and upon the army, of which they are such glorious
representatives, a lasting impression of the gratitude
felt for their eminent services during the rebellion.
Another regiment has been added to the list of those
which have been ordered home. _ H.M.'s 29th is
ordered to Shergotty, to proceed thence to Calcutta
to embark. A portion of Capt. Bolton's battery
R.A., left Bombay on the 15th in the Vernon.
86th, one wing of which is already here,
will embark shortly for England. Lord Elphin-
stone is still here, but Sir Henry Somerset and
Sir Hugh Rose are enjoying the cool breezes of
Mahabuleshwur. The retirement of Mr: Lowten
Jenkins, who held several appointments in the
Supreme Court, has produced vacancies which have
been filled by Mr. George Taylor and Mr. Edward
Yardley, barristers-at-law, and Mr. A. Sangster,
solicitor."
