OPINIONS OP THE PRESS.

" We regard the work before us, -• The silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We must, however, confe:s that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victins of past folly, or suffbr-
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
—Age and Argus.
The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoioughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

OVERLAND MAIL.

INTELLIGENCE FROM INDIA
AND CHINA.

Accounts have been received from Bombay of the
17th of September, being twenty days later than by
the last arrival, and from China to the 29th of July.
Ttie papers possess little interest. In Sinde some
skirmishes had taken place, but they were of a very
trifling character. Captain MACKENZIE had been
successful in an attack upon some marauding Be-
looches.

Advices from Cabal mention that an engage-
ment had taken place on the 2d August between
AMMAR KHAN and AUBDOOL SUMMUND, in which
the former came off the victor, capturing among his
prisoners two generals of the enemy. The loss on
the side of the people of Cabul was estimated at
3,000, while that of the enemy was stated to be
5,000, besides prisoners.
The papers announce the death of Lieutenant
MACKINTOSH, late Aide-de-Camp to Lord ELLEN..
BOROUGH, and subsequently in charge of the Mysore
princes. The gallant officer died from the effects of
fever.

Accounts from China state that disturbances had
again taken place at Canton. The English last
year repaired the walls of the Company's garden,
which had been broken down at the fire in 1842.
They put on a gate, and were in the habit of walking,
playing at quoits, and otherwise amusing themselves.
On the 15th of July the Chinese endeavoured to force
themselves into the garden, but were opposed. Upon
this they threw brickbats, and broke down the gate,
compelling the Englishmen to take refuge in a boat,
in which they made their escape to the Con-
sulate. On the following evening a party of
Chinese went armed with brickbats, and attempted
to take possession of the other garden. Resistance
being offered, they commenced an indiscriminate
attack upon all the foreigners who came within their
reach. Several American gentlemen immediately
armed themselves, and drove them from the front of
the factories. Still continuing to throw brickbats,
they were fired upon, and one man killed, and an-
other wounded in the arm, which ended the affair for
the day. The English and American Consuls applied
to the Chinese authorities for a sufficient force to pro-
tect the factories, and a message was sent to the Ame-
rican man-of-war at the Bogue to request assistance.
Intelligence of the 21st informs us that no further
rioting had taken place, nor was any likely'to occur
at present.
There were eighty-four English merchantmen,
most of them of large burden, at Hong-Kong,
Whampoa, Macao, Amoy, Chusan, Ningpo, and
Shanghae. The number of American merchantmen
was sixteen ; of French one ; four Portuguese, nine
Spanish, one Danish, one Swedish, one Belgian, and
one Siamese. The English ships of war were thus
distributed :—At Hong-Kong, the Agincourt, 72,
Captain W. H. Bruce, bearing the flag of Rear-
Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, C. 8.; the Minden,
hospital-ship, Captain Quin; the Sapphire, Master-
Commanding Fittock ; the Spiteful, steamer, Com-
mander W. Maitland; the Vixen, steamer, Commander
Giffard ; the Hon. Company's steamer Proserpine,
Commander Hough, R.N. At Whampoa, the
Wolverine, 16, Commander H. G. Morris ; the
Pelican, 16, Commander P. Justice. At Chusan :
the Castor, 36, Captain Charles Graham; Wolf, 18,
Commander A. Vyner ; the Honourable Company's
steamer Medusa, Commander H. H. Hewit, R.N.
At Amoy :—the Plover, surveying ship, Commander
R. Collinson ; the Young Hebe, schooner, Lieutenant
Commanding J. Bates. The French frigate Cleopatra,
50, Captain Cecille, was at Hong-Kong; the Alcmene,
32, Captain Duplax, at Canton ; the American frigate
Brandywine, Commodore Parker, was at Macao; the
St. Louis, 20, Commander Tilton, was at Whampoa;
the Perry, 14, Commander Keith, was at Hong-
Kong. The Portuguese brig of war, Tejo, was at
Macao. The latest dates at Hong-Kong from
England were :—England, eth May ; United States
9th April ; Sydney, 3d May.
At Calcutta mosey was in great abundance.
Government securities had risen, in consequence, and
the Five per Cent. New Loan had changed hands at
10 per cent. premium. Exchange was heavy, at
11.10}5., or a small fraction above, at ten months' date.

Commercial matters in China were dull. Cotton
yarn continued depressed, as before. The iron market
was over sup;:aied. Opium was firm, being supported
by the smallness of supply. In rice prices had
given way. In tea very little doing. The second
and third crops are said to have been destroyed by the
late rains. Rates of Exchange on London, at six
months' sight, 4s. 3d. per dollar ; Government bills,
at thirty days' sight, 4s. 10d., in little request. Freight
to London and Liverpool, 3/. per ton of fifty feet.
The Hindostan arrived at Suez on the 24th of
September, with a considerable cargo of silk goods,
and about fifty passengers; she sailed from Calcutta
on the 18th of September.

AUTHENTIC NEWS FROM PESHAWAR, JULY 18.—The
soldiers of Peshawur have conducted themselves of late
in anything but an orderly way. They seem to have
cast off all restraint, which their dread of the principal
authorities hail produced in them ; and make little of
plundering and ravaging the hushandmen and their
farms. In one of its mischievous excursions, a body of
these uneurbed pillagers assaulted, with brutal cruelty, a
domestic of Sirdar Peer Mahomed Khan, for offering re-
sistance to their escape with some of his property which
they had robbed him of ; but, notwithstanding, the free-
b .oters did not get off scot-free this once, their flight
was arrested b 7 the timely interference of a large body
of the Sirdar s servants ; they were presented to Tej
Singh for trial, and at his sentence now lie in prison. It
has been publicly prohibited to resort to compulsory
means to obtain the services of a 11ussulman. Sultan
Mohammed has sent his family to Khohout—a removal,
which is looked upon by many as a preliminary step to
his inciting the people of this place to an insurrection.
Meean Übdool Ryman not having been discovered,
Synd Mahomtned was called upon to explain matters
to Akbar Khan. The refusal on the part of the
Kuzzulbashes, with which Dost Mahommed's invita-
tion to them was met, gave high offence to the Post, who,
after due consultation, determined on invading and driv-
ing them from the Affghan territories. The Kuzzul-

bashes, on receiving intimation of this resolution, sent
messengers to the Dust to say that they would not put
him to the trouble of attacking and forcing them to quit
the country, if he but paid them fa- the forts which, at
their individual expense, they had raised in his terri-
tories. The proposed condition was not acceded to, and
one of Dust Mahomed's sons has proceeded to give battle
to the Kuzzulbs.shes, while Akhbar Khan is about to
follow with one regiment of 14,000 regular Suwars, and
two of infantry, the latter under the command of
haul Lall.
Lanni's:, JULY 19.—The Raja Sahib to-day sum-
moned the several artisans who had been engaged in the
late preparations for a war, and demanded of them a
statement of the amount of their respective manufac-
tures, and their expenditure for them, both which
accounts they having rendered to the entire satisfaction
of Rsja Sahib, the tradesmen were rewarded, indepen-
dently of their dues, with a large sum of money from
his Mejesty's coffers. An officer of the Raja Sahib,
who had shot a private through the heart, of which he
instantly died, was by his Majesty dismissed the service.
Four thousand rupees were given for the purchase of
grain for the horses of the troops, the last store having
been consumed. Soldiers were finally dispatched to seize
on Meeaun Single, who has perpetrated some very
serious crime, which, however, is not publicly known.
JULY 25. After a sisit to the Maharaja, the
Raja Sahib attended the durbar. Rangoor Singh, the
brother of Leenah Singh, obtained this day the resident-
ship of Issurnuck, promising to pay monthly an amount
of 37,000 rs. as the revenues of the place. Jo ambit-
Singh has been slain by one of his own officers. This
man stopped a Ntravan of' fat at Guggranwallah, and
when summoned by Jowahir, for reproof, he first in-
sulted and then slew him, and fled hither for refuge,
where he has been very favourably received by his Ma-
jesty. There had arisen a dispute between Rajas Goo-
lab Singh and Heerah Singh, from a difference as to the
settlement of the country of Jaffer Shah, which belongs
to the latter. Goolab Singh, on this, has turned the
troops of Heerah Singh out of two forts, and purposes
doing the same with the others ; but the Maharajah,
who was highly incensed at the Raja's conduct on this
occasion, peremptorily forbade him to execute his pur-
pose, threatening, at the same time, that he would not
refrain from extreme measures if Goolab Singh renderd
such interference necessary. The writer of this assures
the public, that there have been several. different
versions of the fate of Peshora Singh ; but that the-fol-
lowing is correct :—When he ran away from battle, on
his arrival at Kurrian, he was informed that if the Baja
Sahib found him he would kill him, Fearing for hisdife
he ran away to Multan. Surjun Singh hearing this, in-
formed the Raja Sahib of it, who dispatched Maher
Singh to bring him the Raja Sahib. The Prince hav-
ing arrived, he was accordingly brought, with his mother,
lyfore the Raja Sahib, who bestowed the Governorship
of Kirriallah on him' with a salary of 60,000 rupees a
year. MisherLaubSingh and Meean Laub Singh were
detected to have embezzled an enormous sum from the
Treasury of Lahore, and have been in consequence dis-
missed from the Raja Sahib's service. The Raja Sahib
has given orders to every one of the surdars in the Sheik
territories to engage 1,000 soldiers, who are to be either
Puthans or Affghans. The mother of the Maharajah
has quarrelled with the Raja Sahib and Pundit Jullah.
The present pension allowed to her Highness of I,ooors.
per day was found to be too small a stipend, and an in-
crease of another 500 to the 1,000 was according applied
for ; this the above personages refused to grant, and hate,
therefore, incurred her Highness's serious displeasure.
AUGUST B.—Surdah Lenah Singh writes to his Ma.
j( sty that he is raising levies at Sareiez, a province of
Cashmere, and that after this has been accomplished he
will re!urn with his troops to Lahore. Ajeet Singh, it
was reported in Court, has excited a rebellion among the
inhabitants of Lahore Pinder, and is plundering and
otherwise persecuting such as have repelled his insinu-
ations and continued firm to 'the Maharajah, with great
cruelty. Alarmed at this intelligence, the Maharajah
consulted with the Raja Sahib on the measures exps
dient for this occasion, and was advised to dispatch
troops who should subdue the insurgents. But his Ma-
jesty contented himself by addressing to the Valreel
of the rebel chief a letter, directing the secretary to ad.
vise his employer to desist from his rebellious pro,
ceedings.
From Lahore we have letters to the 30th of July;
without, however, any items of particular interest
Goolab Singh continues to hold out against the solicit}
ations of his nephew for a reconciliation, and it is
strongly reported that he has been joined by Meean
Lab Sing, who lately took leave from the durbar, and is
known to be now at Jumboo, A son of Meean Singh, a
chief of some consequence, has been seized and put to
death in Cashmere; and the proceedings against the Sir-
dars,originating mostly with the Pundit Jella.will doubt-.
less work out the revolution; which is, on all hands, ex-
pected to take place shortly after the troops retm-n to
the capital. Sirdar Mungul Singh (a brother-in-law oft
Kurruck Singh) who put down the Tawana insurrection,
is on his way back to Lahore. He did not succeed,
in capturing Futteh Khan, but has brought with him the
wife and children of that chief. Mungul Singh was shot
in the arm, and is reputed a good soldier. Nothing is
known of the result of the border dispute, though it is
suspected to have been fomented by HeeraSingh.

(From the Delhi Gazette, Aug 10.
Our letters from Sukkur are to the 29th or 30th ult.,
we cannot exactly say which. One of our friends has
obligingly gone into a detail of all that passed of late,
and we shall give from his letter such particulars as
have been hitherto but partially dwelt on, though at the
risk of a little repetition. Between two and three
hundred names of culprits in the 64th Infantry, had
been given in to the General by the European and
native officers, when called upon to furnish lists of the
guilty parties, and out of them he selected the thirty-
nine reserved for trial. Several of these were immedi-
ately sent off to solitary confinement, the remainder
being placed in the guard-room. The act of suspension
regarding Colonel Mosely was confirmed by Sir Charles
Napier, and his Excellency further directed that Capt.
Burt should be placed in arrest at large, though nobody
exactly knows why, as it is the general opinion that
Captain Burt is very little to blame in the affair, which
arose entirely out of former transactions chiefly enacted
between Kurnaul and Ferozepore, and into the secret of
which our valued correspondent "Goban Seer" long since
admitted the public; and which, though of a grave and se-
reels nature, may be extenuated to a certain extent by
the reflection that had the 64th not been induced some-
how or other to go down, no power possessed by Go-
vernment would have succeeded in coercing them and
others to march from Ferozepore; a dilemma the conse-
quences of which are too dreadful to think of. We are
glad to hear that all continued quiet since the trials com-
menced, and that the men do the duty " with the usual
indifference of the native." The order regarding the
discharge of officers and men alluded to before, seems,
as we read the communication before us, to have been in-
tended to embrace the European officers; but surely Sir
Charles Napier cannot have the power which such an
order would presume; or if he has, we must confess it
is in very dangerous hands. We apprehend, however,
there is some mistake in this matter. On the day the
64th were deprived of their colours, the regiment was
wheeled into a hollow square, the European company
fronting the colours, when Captain Shortreed, who
had been in command of the corps since the arrest of
Captain Burt, explained the station orders, and the co-
lours were taken out of the square and delivered over to
the officer commanding the party. The scene is said, and
we should think truly so, to have been most humiliating
Captain White, of the 69th, was appointed to act as De-
puty Judge Advocate-General on the trials, and we are
tall that a better selection could not have been made. In
fact, all the acts of General Hunter on this unfortunate
occasion are pronounced by our friends at Sukkur to
have been most judicious, considering the means at his
disposal. It is believed that Sir Charles is not quite sa-
tisfied, but that the Gieneral has the entire approbation
course,
of Sir Hugh Gough, of the Adjutant-General, and of
the Governor-General in Council. Our latest letters
announce that the trials had been all concluded, and
thoughnothing positive

(From the DeThi Gazette, Sept. 7.)
Our letters from Shikarpoor and Sukkur are to the
25th and 26th ult., and from the former place we learn
that Captain ITlcentsie has had another brush with the
" gallant robbers," end alto, thst he and his irregulars
have this time given a good account of' them. Thorp had
been reports for some days previously of the Beloochees
being in the neighbour ood, but nothing definite was
known ; one thing was, however, certain, that a large
body of the enemy were on the move in the vicinity of
Mobarickpoor, with the intention, it was supposed, of
attacking some small out-post detachments in that
neighbourhood. On hl‘Kenzie hearing of this, he al-
lowed them to advance well into the country, and then
started off with his head-quarters, and intercepted the
enemy, who were engaged with a party of ot; men of the
Gth Irregulars, and as many of Tait's horse, making a
running fight of it. Captain l‘l'Kenzie advanced at a
smart pace on hearing the firing, and though the main
body of the mounted lieleochees ersapea, cell in with'
two strong parties on foot, and entirely cut them up, the
Irregulars going to work with the determination of pay-
ing off old scores, and making Sir Charles give a better
report of tham than he has hitherto done. Upwards of
150 of the enemy were left " biting the ground." The
loss on our side was riot very gr;lat ; one sowar killed,
about 20 weunded, and some 20 or 20 horses killed and

wounded. It is reported that Dr. Comberbach, the
surgeon of the 6th Irregulars, who charged with the
body, has been wounded, though it is said slightly. We
shall look with anxiety for further particulars, but v
have heard since we received the above that it was the
intention of the enemy's horse to draw out our two small
parties of cavalry, and when they were well in the
jungle, for the infantry, lying in ambush, to atta sk
them in the rear ; they were, however, caught in their
own trap. Dr. Comberbach's wound is a sabre out
across the thigh, but he is doing well. Captain Holmes,
second in command, was a Kira-ke-Ghurree, and it is
thought probable that he will also conic across the
enemy and make a good report of them.
Sickness has decreased. It appears that Lieutenant
Griffiths, of the artillery, whose death we mentioned
some numbers back, was very suddenly attacked with
fever; it rushed to his brain, and he . sank rapidly.
The sepoy of the 64th, who was condemned for murder,
was executed on. the parade-ground in presence of all
the troops.
From Sukkur we learn that the troops were paraded
to hear the proclamation regarding the change of
Governor-Generalship read, and a salute of nineteen
guns was fired ; the troops are represented as making a
good appearance, and the worthy General as looking
well and hearty. There was but one commanding
officer present, the others being on the sick report. The
following are the arrangements regarding the move-
ments of the Queen's regiments, which differ somewhat
rem those previously given:—
" The Ist division of the 13th (Prince Albert's) Light
Infantry, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel
\rigors, of that corps, will embark on or about the Ist of
September, in steamers sent for their conveyance to Ko-
tree. On the 25th of August a wing of the 78th High_
landers will commence its march from Kurrachee to Ko-
tree, where it will encamp and wait the arrival of the
Ist division of the 13th (Prince Albert's) Light Laftmtry,
Irma Sukkur, which will disembark at Kotree, and taking
over the camp equipage and carriages from the wing of
the 78th Highlanders, will commence its march to Kurra-
chee, the Highlanders proceeding to Sukkur in the
steamers which brought down the 13th. On the 21st
A ugust a wirg Of her Majesty's 86th Foot, with its com-
missariat carriage and camp equipage, will cross the
Indus to Kotree, and commence its march to Knrrachee.
On the 23d of August the remaining wing of her Ma-
jesty's 86th Foot, with its carriage, &c., will move
across the Indus to Kotree, and commence its march
to Kurrachee. On the 31st August the remaining wing
of the 78th Highlanders will take the carriage, &0.,
which brought the first wing of the 86th from Kotree,
and commence its march to that place, there to await
the arrival from Sukkur of the 2d division of the 13th
(Prince Albert's) Light Infantry, when a similar ex-
change will be made as detailed above, and the corps will
proceed to their respective destinations. The arrangements
for the movement of the women, sick, and heavy bag-
gage of the several corps will be separate from the above,
and will be consequent on the receipt of intelligence
from the officer commanding the Indus flotilla. The
Bengal camp equipage, at present attached to Prince
Albert's Light Infantry, will be left at Sukkur for the
use of the 78th Highlanders. From this it is to be sup-
posed that the 13th will embark almost immediately on
arrival at Kurrachee for England, as it is hardly pro-
bable that Sir C. Napier would keep two: Queen's regi-
ments there, particularly as there are only barracks for
one corps." _ _

A private of the 13th Queen's has been tried for at-
tempting the life of a non-commissioned officer. Lieut.
Becher's court-martial is put off for six months, there
being some " hitch" in the indictment.

There is no particular amount of sickness at Sukkur
among the Europeans, and the weather is described as
delightful ; no tatties, and punkahs only required at
midday. The mornings and evenings are even cold.
Sickness has somewhat increased among the natives, but
not more so than is usually the case all over India at
this season. Dr. Robertson's efforts for the welfare of
the Europeans are spoken of with great praise, and it is
said by our correspondent that his loss will be severely
felt ; his plan of arresting the Sinde fever has been most
successful.

From Hyderabad we have advices to the 26th, and
learn by these that both wings of the 86th were attacked
by fever immediately after crossing the river to Kotree,
and had to send to Hyderabad for additional sick car
riage. The first wing was successful in getting camels
with kajawas, but none could be got for the second half
of the regiment, and many of the doolee-bearers had de-
, erted. The 2d Light Cavalry (Bombay) had received
hint that they might be required at Sukkur shortly.

A YFG lIANISTAN.

We have received letters from Caubul to the 16th

aly. No news had reached there for some time from Herat,
which had caused much anxiety to the Vakeel of Yar
Mahommed, who again pressed the matter of a second
matrimonial alliance upon Dost Mahomed, which the
latter required time to consider. Shore Mahomed had
written to the Ameer from Sindo to beg either his assist-
ance, for which he offered to pay, or his mediation with
the British. He was told in reply that the expedition
to Bulkh would prevent the Ameer from affording assist-
ance, and that he had no means of communicating with
the British. Letters from Bameean having announced
the approach of the Usbeks towards that place, Dost
Mahomed set himself to the task of resisting the aggres-
sion, and ordered off the troops of Mr. Campbell ; but
a hitch still occurred in regard to arrears. The chief
command was, it appears, to be given to Mahomed
Ufzul Khan. An active and friendly correspondence is
going on between Ffeerah Singh and. the Dost.—Delhi
Gazette, Aug. 7.

Aukram Khan, who had been dispatched with forces
against the Tartars at Bulkh, was met by the enemy at
the Stone Fort, when a fierce and bloody contest ensued,
in which Übdassamad, general of the Tartars, by de-
ceiving his opponents into a hot pursuit, surprised their
rear in its disordered state, by an ambuscade, which, by
previous stratagem, had been prepared at a certain spot.
For the time there was great havoc among the confused
ranks of the Affghans; but the seasonable reinforcement
to the troops of the latter by the arrival of Akbar Khan
changed the direction of the victory, the Tartars, unable
N make head against the cavalry of the enemy, flying
pell-mell, and eagerly pursued to the distance of 18 miles
by the victorious Affghans. Notwithstanding this de-
feat, the courage of the-Tartars is said to be in nowise
damped, and they yet entertain hopes of mastering their
conquerors. Nean Ulxlool Rahman, who had sought
refuge in the territory of Thaiza Singh from the dread
of the Dost, to-day arrived with his family and pro-
perty at Caubul, being sent hither by Thaiza, Singh, in
obedience to a letter addressed him on the subject of the
arrest of the traitor by Post Mahomed, the former per-
sonage offering a promise of similar services to the latter
whenever opportunities should occur. Sadut Khan has
raised a rebellion against Dost Mahomed, and contrived
to gain to his side 15,000 cavalry and 3,000 foot from
among the formidable mountain tribes ; but this insur-
rection seems to have produced no effect on the Post.—
Bengal Hurkaru,_Aug. 31.
NMI'S FROM CAUBUL, AUG. 2.—To-day came on an
engagement between Akbar Khan and Aubdool Sum-
mand. It was a hard-fought battle, in which, after a
display of great valour and skill on either side, which
often turned the issue of the contest, the former came off
victorious, capturing, among his prisoners, the two Ge-
nerals of the enemy- The loss on the side of the people
of Canbul is estimated at 3,000, while on that of the
enemy it is said to amount to 5,000, besides the prisoners.
—Bengal flurharu, Sept. 3,
We derive the following, which is of some interest,
from a news-writer in Affghanistan
JULY 23.—The Tartars have formed an
alliance with the chiefs of Oosbegs Balkh, Bameean, and
the Wullee of Bokhara, who, with the troops they
already levied, and are still levying, have sworn to aid
them against the Affghans as their common foe. Alarmed
at these adversities, Mahommed Akbar abandoned his
clamp and escaped to Caubul, aocomplishing his flight en
horseback—the space that intervenes being about four
hundred miles—in two days and nights. Dost Mahom-
med, intimidated himself at these mischances, and igno-
rant of the measures to be adopted on the occasion,
called together a select council, who, after a delibera-
tion, advised him to regain the Kuzzulbashes and Beloo-
chaes to his party by restoring to them the lands he
had wrested from them, and further to conciliate their
good-will by paying them their wages three months in
advance. To these recommendations the Dost readily
assented, adding, of his own accord, the present of a
caparisoned horse to each of their commanders. The
object of the manoeuvre was attained, and it is already
proclaimed that the Dost will soon set out against the
Tartars, at the head of a fresh troop of 30,000 soldiers,
leaving Akbar Khan and Aufzul Khan as his surrogates
at Caubul.

" JULY Emir reviewed this morning the
40,000 men who had offered themselves for the expedi-
tion against the Tartan ; 10,000, however, of this
number were rejected as inefficient, at which thcsa dis-
carded took high offence, and thought of remonstrating
strongly with the Dost, but were appeased by Gubar
Khan.

" JULY 29.—Intelligence from .Tellalabacl reached
Caubtil, reporting that Amer Khan, of Silber Dail, and
Saaml Baboo jaun, of Koomur, had leagued together
against Saadut Khan, and that they had raised troops to
the number of 10,000 against the latter. But Akbar
Khan, who will be left as deputy in the place of his
father, intends, it is said, an tkel departure of Dost
Mahommed, to repair to Jellalabad and set at rest all
feuds between these parties. There is a famine at Jel-
lalabad, and wheat was selling at 5 seers the rupee ;
supplies had latterly been drawn from Caubiil, but as we
know all the available stores are required to be sent witt
