In the Punjaub confusion reigns supreme, and the disorganiza-
tion of Runjeet Singh's kingdom is going rapidly forward, for there
are now several Governments established there. Dhuleip Singh
the boy king, with his mother ruling, and her brother as the MI:
Miter, governs at Lahore, where the Khalsa, or regular troops, will
have everything their own way. Ghoolab Singh has fixed his rule
in his mountain fortress of Janroo, and the notorious Akbar Khan,
son of Dost Mahommed, of Caubul, is preparing to seize Pc-
shawur, and to make himself master of the Seikh province, to the
west of the Indus. There were various eftbrts made by the
Queen-Mother and the Khalsa troops to being about an arrange.
ment with Ohoolab Singh. The troops, called Khalsa, went
towards Janroo to force him into terms, but he by a trick out.
manoeuvred their leaders. Qn approaching his fastnesses the
lip army sent vakeels or agents to confer with him as to the

Fltsse they were to receive; he Insisted that deputies from
eac regiment should attend. They did so, and he, before he
heard- their propositions, spoke of his services and of those of
his family, and contended that the soldiers were not
sufficiently paid, and that he, if in power as Minister,
would have their pay doubled. The soldiers heard this decision
with satisfaction, yet they insisted on having a largesse.
He gave five lacs, and the vakeels were going away with that sum,
when a party of GhoolaYs own soldiers followed them, murdered
the vakeels, and carried back the treasure. This atrocity roused
the spirit of the Khalsa; they advanced in great force to attack
him, but he defeated them, and forced them fo retire back towards
Lahore. This defeat is calculated to produce the most important
con,equences, for the Seikhs admit that they have found troops
equal, if not superior to themselves, in the mountaineers. There
was a sort of Convention formed by Ghoolab Singh with the A&
ghan leaders, by which the latter were to attack Peshawur while
the former maintained his position in the hills ofJanroo. Akbar
Khan went from Jellalabad, where he latterly had stationed him-
self, to see his father at Caubul, and they both, having made ar-
rangements for paying the arrears of their troops, were to set out in
the middle of February, in order to invade the province of Pesha-
wur, which has during more than 20 years been subject to the
Seikhs. Thus the chances of the Seikh kingdom being speedily dis.
organised are very great.

In the meantime the British Government is quietly assembling
a large army on the banks of the Sutlej, for the alleged purpose of
defending its own territories, but to which it is highly probable the
young King Dhuleep and his mother will soon have to apply for
protection. The Khalsa troops some time ago threatened the boy
king and his relations for having exhibited a wish to flee into the
British territory; but it is probable when Peshawur shall be taken,
as anticipated, by the Affghans—when Cashmeer shall be threatened
—when Ghoolab Singh shall have established his independence
at Janroo, and when they will find themselves disunited and un-
able to combat with so many enemies, that their opposition will
cease to the entrance of the British army into their territory.
The British troops are awaiting a favourable opportunity for
marching.
Theexpedition which Sir Charles Napier led into the territories
of the Jakranees, Doomkies, and Boogtles, lying in the moun-
tainous tracts to the westward of Poolajee, has been successful.
This enterprising General being determined to introduce good
order into the administration of Sinde,, and knowing that while the
plundering tribes were allowed to subsist in their mountain fast-
nesses, and to carry on their depredations with impunity, it would
be useless to expect that industry and good order would thrive in
the neighbouring districts on the banks of the Indu,, resolved to
seize the plunderers in their owns dens, and to remove them to
other places, where they could apply themselves to the arts of
peace and of good neighbourhood. In the month of January
he set out with a large force (7,000) for the purpose.
In order to make rapid movements, he took care to be encumbered
with as little baggage and lugage as.possible. The search for the
enemy was long and tedious, and the troops suffered from reduced
rations and other hardships, but at length, after a month's search,
Beejah Khan, the chief leader of the plunderers, and all his fol-
lowers were found in a strong position on the top of a ridge of
hills about 1,000 feet high, to which there was a most difficult in-
gress through a narrow defile. The British General took up his
station and began firing with mortars. The enemy returned the
fire, but fortunately with scarcely any injury. Another means
of entrance was discovered, and promply made use of. The
Murree chiefs served as negotiators ; interviews took place between
the General and some of the leaders of the tribes. Some gave
themselves up, others resisted ; but they were all captured, with
the exception of Islain Khan, one of the heads of the Boogties.
Their country is to be given over to the honest tribe of the Nur-
rees, who having already learned the advantages of the British
alliance, are disposed to adhere strictly to it. Some of the tribes
are to be removed to the districts bordering on the Indus, where
they will have lands granted to them for cultivation

The hostility displayed by some of the newspapers towards Sir
Charles Nailer has caused them to depreciate or to discolour the
great amelioration which this successful expedition cannot fail to
produce in Sinde, by demonstrating to the inhabitants that there is
more security under the British Government for the industrious
and peaceable than for the robbers and plundereri. It may there.
fore tie usetkil to caution the reader in Europe of Indian papers
against placing reliance on the erroneous and discoloured state.
menus of some of the Indian papers en this subject. Amongst them
the Bombay Times takes. the lead in rancour, virulence, and Injus-
tice towards the illustrious Governor of Sinde. .

Tne affairs of Sawunt Warree have assumed a complex aspect,
in consequence of the Portuguese settlement of Goa becoming
mixed "p with the rebellion of the disaffected in those districts.
When the energy and skill of the British troops compelled the re.
vetted chiefs to seek safety by flight they got over the Goa fron.
tiers. A reference has been made to Europe on the subject of the
rights of a neutral flag to protect rebels, whom it does not restrain
from continuing their hostility by active measures, and it is ex-
pected that the Courts of Lisbon and London will soon send out
their ultimatum on the subject. As to the conquest of Goa, it
can be easily effected at any season of the year, for the troops there
are few, badly paid, and unaccustomed to warfare.

The settlement of the Southern, Mahratta country was going on
favourably; the Bombay Government had shown considerable de.
zision in the arrangements adopted, for not only were the rebels
punished, but the tyrants who had brought about their rebellion by
their oppressive acts were themselves compelled to abandon the
districts.

The C,ourtanartial for the trial of Lieutenant• Colonel Wallace,
of the Madras army, for disobedience of orders, was assembling at
the end of March at Belgaum.

In the interior of India tranquillity prevails. The Governor..
General, Sir Henry Hardinge, remains at Calcutta, engaged in
forwarding measures for the improvement of the country.
The news from China comes down to the 10th of February; it
is not remarkable. There was a partial stagnation in business,
arising from the holydays of the Chinese ❑ew year.
One of the good results of the ostablishtient of steam communi-
cation between Calcutta and Singapore is the rapidity of intelli-
gence. We have letters and papers from Singapore to the 6th of
March. The principal news relates to the loss of the fine ship
Inglis, belonging to Bombay, which got on shore on the 10th of
January, near Anjeer. Every effort was made to save the ship and
cargo; about a quarter of the cotton on board was saved. The
captain (Isaacson) died some days after at Batavia, of anxiety and
fatigue.

The Singapore Free Press of the 6th of March gives an ac.
count of the loss of the Mellish some months back, and also of that
of the Allowie, an Arab vessel.

The chief fact of interest connected with Bombay relates to the
manner in which the European mails of the 20th of January and
7th of February arrived there. The former arrived by way of Ma.
dras on the 10th of March, because the Bombay Government re-
fused to give any advantage to a steamer which offered to wait at
Pointe de Galle for the letters. The latter mail (February 7) was
delayed in the Red Sea, in consequence of an accident to the Bere-
nice steamer, and it did not reach Bombay until the 24th March.
If the Hon. Company were to keep a Bombay steamer at Aden, in
order to take on the mails and passengers from Aden to Bombay,
the loss would eventually be nothing, and the advantag. would be
that the correspondence between the Board of Control and the
Governor-General would be hastened by fifteen days every month.
In a postscript our correspondent mentions the fact that expresses
had arrived at Bombay, announcing the capture by the Goa autho.
rities of Phonde Sawunt, the chief of the Sawunt Warree rebels,
together with several of his adherents. He was wandering through
the Goa jungles when taken. Their wives and families had pre-
viously been taken and kept in custody in a large fortification near
the powder-works at New Goa. The Sawunt Wariee refugees
were confined in the fortress or convent of Reyes blagos, to the
north of the Pangirn river.

BOMBAY, APRIL 1.
(From the Overland Price Current of the Chamber of Commerce.)
The occurrence of the Hooly holidays during the p::st month
has cut off a considerable portion of the time usually available for
commercial operations, and the business transacted during the re-
mainder has been, generally speaking, of a limited and unim.
portant character, while prices have in some instances suffered
from further depression. Owing to the scarcity of money the
banks' rates of discount upon private bills have been raised to
S per cent., and this has of course tended still more to embarrass
our general trade.
Metals—The business done in Metals since our last has been
extremely small, and of the few transactions that have had effect
the major. 'art appear to hays taken place in the beginning or
middle of the month ; latterly scarcely anything has been doing.
We quote Sheating and Brazieri' Copper both somewhat higher
than before, Of the first a bale was made about a foal:Light since
