SINDE.

Our intelligence from Sinde this month again chiefly relates to
the sickness of the troops. It is comforting to know that arrange.
mcnts are in progress for the withdrawal of the invalids, the whole
of whom, to the number of three or four thousand, are to come to
Bombay. Their place, it is s rid, is to be supplied by a brigade
of Madras troops; but probably, now that Gwalior is tranquillised,
the Bengal regiments originally ordered to garrison the province
will be permitted to proceed to their destination. The Bombay
Government has latterly evinced the greatest activity in furnishing
medical aid. " General Napier," says the Bombay Times,, "is
said to have expressed his determination to part with no troops,
whatever their condition, until reinforced by a corresponding
number of efficient men." If this be the case, the arrangements
for the removal of the sick cannot proceed very rapidly.
The following movements of troops have taken place :—The
left wing of the 21st Native Infantry has dropped down the Indus
from Hyderabad, and proceeded to Kurrachee. The right wing
will follow, and the whole come to Bombay. The remnant of the
2d Europeans has been withdrawn from Mandavie to Kurrachee.
Some portion •f the men have arrived in Bombay, whither the
whole regiment is to come preparatory to proceeding to Belgatrrn,
to take the place of her Majesty's 86th, which relieves them in
Sinde. The head-quarter wing of the 18th Native Infantry has
arrived in Bombay from Baroda, for embarkation to Kurrachee,
and the left wing—now at Khow—will soon follow. The remainder
of the 78th Highlanders leave with the 18th Native Infantry.
Leslie's troop of horse artillery, arid Whitlie's battery have re-
turned to the Presidency, and the former has proceeded to the
Deccan. The 13th Native Infantry, sent some time since from
Bombay, 'has arrived at Hyderabad. Her Majesty's 13th Light
Infanty is en route to Sukkur from Ferozepore.
Among the officers who had died were Major Roberts, Dr.
Pollard, and Captain Woodburn. The latter expired on the 20th
of December, on board the steamer in which he was proceeding to
the mouth of the Indus, for the purpose of coming to Bombay.
Of military movements, or political events, there is little to tell.
General Simpson, who went across the Indus with the 25th Native
Infantry and the Bth Native Infantry, two guns, and 50 horse, for
the purpose of punishing some Belochee plunders and cattle stealers,
as well as to settle the boundary on that side of the river, returned
to camp on the 11th, having met with no enemy.

The Governor of Sinde about shortly to return to Hyderabad
from Kurrachee. He now has the northern division of the army
immediately at his disposal.

lIERAT.

The three nephews of Tar Mahorned, late Vizier, but now appa-
rently ruler, of Herat, have quarrelled with their uncle, and joined
the two sons of the late Shah Kamran, against him. The fol.
lowers of the five young men assembled their followers and be.
weged Herat. A conflict ensued outside the.walls, the result a
which was, that the " sirdars and princes, being victorious, sue.
ceeded in shutting up Tar Mahomed in the fort."
