The only item of intelligence we have from )3okkara is, that tilitS
gentleman supposed to be an officer of the Bombay army, whicta:
supposition has, however, been greatly weakened of late, had re!:
fused to accompany Dr. Wolff, when he quitted Toorkistan, de,.
daring himself a Ilajee, and determined to remain with the faith-
fut. The snows, which are said to have *O, unusually heavy this
year in the hilly country about Caubul, andlWthi north and wester
have put a stop to the petty warfare which was going on between
Khoolloom and the Ameer, and to the trade across the Hineloos
Kash. The party which came from Mooltam is reported to have
suffered severely from the cold when crossing the mountains.
The Sirdars of Candahar have, we are told, been quarrelling
among themselves, and it was said that their disputes ran so high
at one time that they actually decided on dividing their territory
into shares, so as to prevent the intervention of the one in thes
affairs of the other, but the chiefs remonstrated, and on represent•
ing the evil consequences of such a step, the plan was abandoned. .
We have nothing to report from the western capital of Affgha.
nistan, where the infamous scoundrel Tar Mahomed Khan con.
tinues to hold his own by intrigues with all the states around him.
We regret to say that, in consequence of some accident—most
likely death—our messenger has not brought the usual half.
monthly intelligence from Peshawur as well as Caubul, so that we
cannot give any late authentic news from that quarter. Rumours
there are plenty, but we place, for the reasons already given, little
or no faith in anything that does not come from the spot. One
of them, which has already found its way to Calcutta, is that
Mahomed Akbar Khan was actually in possession of Peshawur.
The insurrection in the valley of Kashmere, er more properly
speaking in the west, amongst the Mussulnian population at Mo.
zuffurabad, and elsewhere, has been checked, to a certain extent,
by the exertions of Raja Goolab Singh, made before the Creaking
out of the late intrigues ; but whether effectually or not we have
not the means of saying at present.

LAHORE.
(From the Delhi Gazette, Jan. 2:2.)

Our letters from Lahore are to the 13th inst., and descriptive
of the great anxiety experienced by the Siekh soldiery regarding tit.,
movements and intentions of the British authorities. The Raja
of Chumpa was instructed by an urgent purwanoah on the Hits
inst., to send 4000 men to guard the different ghauts on the Sur.
lej within his territory, and on no account to intermit the duties
intrusted to hint ; and four battalions were also ordered off on the
same day to the Hurreke Ghaut. The distribution of the promise.;
golden necklaces were progressing rapidly, as the soldiery had
shown unequivocal symptoms of being determined not to be trifled
with on this point. The affairs on the northern line of the plains
are anything but satisfactory. Sirdar Runjotr Singh had an en.
gagement with the troops of Meean .1 uwahir Singh, brother of the
late minister, but it Is not ascertained with what immediate sue.
cess, though a rumour prevailed that he was victorioes,
Prince Peshora Singh was actually on his way to Secalkot.
and while in progress made bold to seize eighteen horses of
one of the studs of Hegira Singh, a measure which met with
no discouragement at the hands of the Ranee, when reported
to her. The desertion from the battalions first sent net
service towards Jesrowta have been so numerous, that mere
skeletons of them are left, but others more recently dispatched have
been less inclined to go to the- homes, as they have a prospect of
plunder, and have earnestly set to work to besiege desrewta. The
garrison are making a stout defence. The troops which were sent
to Kashmere are said to have at length reached Mozuffurabad, but
they had no sooner heard of the death of the Minister and of
Pundit Jella, than they commenced disturbances, beating a num.
her of their officers, and turning them out of camp. General
Goolab Singh, Provindeea, was, however, doing his best to restore
order. The same results occurred, it is averred, on the news be-
coming known in the camps at Peshawur and in Bannoo Tank.
The utmost license continues amongst the troops; thousands of
them flock daily in the town, and eren into the palace, where they
behave in the most unruly manner, evincing no respect for the
royal presence itself. The letters of the Siekh vakeels on this side
the Sutlej seem to have caused the Warm about the reported in-
vasion. They wrote to say that the Commander-in-Chief had
given the most positive orders for all the troops at Umballah and
the neighbouring stations to be prepared for immediate service.
The order for the move of the 38th Light Infantry d probably the
origin of this information.

NORTH-WEST FRONTIER.
To turn from the state of the Punjaub to the eonsequent move:
merits on our frontier, we have further to record that the Gover—
nor-General seems very properly determined to be prepared for any
emergency which may possibly occur on the frontier, by the reten—
tion in the Sirhind and Meerut divisions of some of the regiments
which had been previously ordered to march downwards, and the
addition of one regiment to their present strength, which is very
great. The 31st Foot, which was under orders to march to Caw's..
poor on being relieved by the 62d, has been directed to remain at
Umballah, and the 6t).(1 will, in all probability, proceed on to
Ferozepoor. The 9th Light Cavalry, which was to go to Sultan_
poor Itenares, has been ordered to go no further than Meerut, and
the 38th Light Infantry marched yesterday from Meerut to Kure
nal, to take the duties of the Commander-in-Chief's camp, as his
Excellency, instead of proceeding to Meerut, as some tine since
anticipated, remains in the neighbourhood of Umballah, and has,
it is said, been Joined by the Lieut.-Governor of the North-Western
Provinces, at the express desire of the Governor-General, with the
view of affording Sir Hugh Gough the benefit of his experience
and advice in the present critical posture of affairs. General Gil—
bert has succeeded General Fast in the command of the Sirhind
division, and Major. General Sir J. H. Littler has been specially
appointed to the command of the troops at Ferozepore and
Loodianah.
