MASSACRE IN AFFGHANISTAN.
This day, in 2 vols. pest Bvo. with Illustrations,
NARRATIVE of the CAMPAIGN of the
ARMY of the' INDUS, in SIND and KAUBOOL,
in 1838 and 1839.
By RICHARD HARTLEY KENNEDY, M.D.
"A vivid and interesting history of one of the most important
campaigns in which our Indian army has ever been engaged."
—Atlas.
The Author, whose Narrative is full of interesting and
important facts, seems almost to have foretold the sad calamity
which has befallen our gallant army:—
" The secrets of office are beyond the Author's reach, and
the time for history is not come; the propriety of such interfe-
rence at Kaubool as the deposition of Dost Ma omcd and the
exaltation of Shah Soojah, of the policy throughout pursued
towards Runjeet Sing and the system so 1 ,ng persevered in and
so concluded in Sind, are parts of a great whole, which must
soon be seen developed in all its wisdom, or the reverse ; for
the result, whether for good or for evil, must quLkly appear;
and the cost as apportione to the benefit, supposing it be a
benefit, must soon be counted. The o!dest of the parties con-
cerned is likely, in the course of nature, to live to seo it; the
seed they have planted will not be watched through a century of
expectation. "—Prelate.

ARNAUT TROOPS.

Dr. BOWRING gave notice that tomorrow he would
put the question to the Right Honourable Baronet at
the head of Her Majesty's Government, asking
whether the Right Honourable Baronet had received
any communication from our Ambassador at Constan-
tinople respecting the intention of the Turkish Government to
send Arnaut irregular troops into Syria , those troops being
the same class of nun who in 1841 were removed from that
country at the solicitation of the representatives of the Allied
Powers, in consequence of the atrocities they had committed on
the Christian population.
Mr. Sergeant JACKSON gave notice that to-morrow he
would move for leave to bring in a Bill to aassimilate the law
in Ireland as regards the puni,hment of death to the law in
England, and to abolish the punishment in certain cases.
Leave of absence was granted to Ur. Hoskins on account of
ill-health.

Air. F. MAULE wished to put a question to the Right
lion. Baronet the Secretary of State for the Ilome Depart-
ment with respect to the Drainage Bill. The Right Hon.
13arof et must be aware that there were two Bills under the
consideration of the Committee up stairs. He was anxious to
know from the Right lion. Baronet when he would be able to
introduce the Drainage 11111 into that House.
Sir J. GRAHAM could not, at present, name any particu-
lar day, but lie begged to assure the Right Hen. Gentleman
'hat the Bill was in a forward state ofpre—kration.

lIRZTISEr INDIA.

The following estimate is from the Parliamentary
returns :—The Presidency of Bengal, on a surface of
220,312 square miles, contains a population of 69,710,071
inhabitants ; Madras and Bombay, with the districts,
the population of which is doubtful, amount to 19,759,081
inhabitants, on a superficies of 291,611 square miles.
The whole, therefore, do not much exceed 90,000,000.
Thu territory of the allied or protected, that is, the sub-
ject states, is estimated at 614,610 square miles ; their
population, however, is not supposed nearly equal to
that of the territories under the immediate govern-
ment of the country. The best estimate is as fol-
lows :—The Nizam, 10,000,000 ; the Nagpoor Rajah,
3,000,000 ; the King of Oude, 3,000,000 ; the Qaickwar,
2,000,000 ; the Sattarah Rajah, 1,500,000 ; the Mysore
Rajah, 3,000,000 ; Travancore and Cochin, 1,000,000 ;
Kotah, Boondee, and Bopaul, 1,500,000 ; Rajpoot and
other petty States, 15,000,000 ; giving a population of
40,000,000 souls. Of the States that remain indepen-
dent, the fairest calculation arrived at is this :—Sindia,
4,000,000 ; Lahore, late under Runjeet Singh's rule,
3,000,000; Scinde, 1,000,000; Nepanl, 2,000,000 ; Cash-
mere and other districts belonging to the King of Caubul,
1,000,000 ; making a total of 11,000,000 souls. This,
therefore, gives for the whole of British India, a popu-
lation of upwards of 140,000,000.

FEUDALISM OF AFFGISA.NISTA.N.

BOld and independent, the Affghan people, for the.
most part, spurn the restraints of law, and their govern-
ment, though it contains in it the elements of. freedom,
fails entirely in the great end of securing to the coin--
munity the blessings of good order and peace. Among
so great a variety of independent communities, imper-
fectly controlled by the royal authority, wars arise
which are waged with great fierceness, and in which the
tumultuary militia of the tribes frequently come to
blows, and waste each others territories. Private re-
venge also, though prohibited by the laws, is sanctioned by
practice ; it is accordingly resorted to by all classes, and
is accounted the inalienable right of every freeman.
Hence family feuds arise, which are not only carried on
with bitterness at the time, but being transmitted from
generation to generation, produce a long-continued
course of violence and bloodshed. Affghanistan, with
its bold and turbulent aristocracy, and the rude inde-
pendence of its
.people, presents a lively picture of the
state of society in Europe under the feudal system, when
every potent baron could defy the authority of the
Crown, and when, owing to the private feuds of the
nobles, the whole country was frequently one general
scene of rude commotion. But the liberty of the Aff-
ghans, notwithstanding all its disadvantages, is prefer-
able to a state of despotism. The rude and stormy in-
dependence which they enjoy gives to the national cha-
racter a manly and heroic cast, inspires the Affghan
with proud and elevated sentiments, and raises him, in
point of courage and intelligence. far above the wretched
slaves of Asiatic despotism. The Affghan himself, far
from desiring to exchange his disorderly independence
fur the peace of tyranny, glories in the freedom of his
institutions ; and it is well observed by Elphinstone,
that a European visiting the country, however he might
lament that the inhabitants were trained by their un-
happy situation to fraud and malice, to rapine, deceit,
and revenge, could yet scarce fitil to admire their martial
and lofty spirit, their hospitality, and their bold and
simple manners, equally. removed from the suppleness of
the citizen, and the awkward rusticity of the clown ;
and he would probably discover before long, among so
many qualities that excited his disgust, the rudiments of
many virtues."

SUFFOLK-STREET GALLERY.

The tirst conversazione of the season was held on Saturday
evening, at these elegant rooms. The whole of the place has
been carpeted, and is lit up in a beautiful style with gas. The
coup d'reil that presents itself to the eye on entering the grand
room is exceedingly effective, and, in addition to the excellent
paintings which adorn the room, and the company, whicq is of the
most recherche order, there are other amusements offered to the
public. Several young ladies obliged the company by singing and
playing on the pianoforte. Mr. G. Clifford also sung the
exquisite little Italian serenade, " Buena notte," and ac-
empanied himself on the guitar, in a very masterly
manner. His voice is a tine tenor, and ho is, we
believe, a pupil of Signor Crivelli. A little piece, also composed
b' himself, entitled, " When the Heart in the Bosom is beating,"
was exceedingly well performed. In addition to this, we must not
omit to mention the perfonnances of Mr. Henry Ahronsson, who
executed several fantasias upon the pianoforte in a very pleasing
manner; his touch is exceedingly fine, and his execution rapid. A
short report was lead by Mr. Herring, the Vice-President, from
which we perceived that the subscribers to the eonversaxione were
more numerous this, than on any preceding occasion. Tea and
coffee were served in an adjoining room, and everything went off'
with the greatest ee lat. We have before stated that the company
was s..lect—we must add, that it was also numerous.

AGUICULtUR.EI7. COMIVIUNITir.

The agricultural community in Afghanistan is divided
nto five classes of cultivators :

1. The proprietors, who cultivate their own lands

2. Tenants, who pay a rent in money, or in part of
he produce.

3. Buzgurs, who, like the metayers, are supplied with
seed, cattle, the implements of husbandry, and furnish
only their labour.
4. Hired labourers; and
5. Villeins, who are the property of the landlord.
Landed property, from the influence of various causes,
is more equally divided in Affghanistan than in most other
countries. By the operation of the Mahomedan law,
which divides the father's property equally among his
children, the largest landed estates are soon broken
down ; and it also has the effect of rendering these por-
tions too small for the support of their proprietors, they
are consequently sold to those who have acquired wealth
in public employments, or by agriculture or commerce.
Hence small proprietors, who cultivate their own lands,
either with the aid of their families or labourers, are nume-
rous. The number of tenants is not great : some of these
subset it to others, who let it to metayers. The common
term of a lease is ono- or two years: the longest is for
five. The rent varies from one-tenth to two-thirds of
the produce, the latter being the rent of the fertile lands
around Caubul. The value of land is from nine to twelve
years' produce. Labourers in husbandry are paid by
the season, which is about nine months. They receive
besides food and clothing, 30 rupees, equivalent to
3/. 10s. In towns the price of labour is 4d. a day with
food : in Candahar it is littween Cid. and 7cl. The
price of provisions is moderate. In Candahar,
_coin
of the value of tenpence, would purchase five pounds
of wheat flour : and at Peshawur, the price of flour to
the British mission was 16 pounds for a single rupee of
the value of 2s. 4d.

NITSSEER KHAN.

This lad, about fifteen years of age, and son of the
late chief of the same name, showed much bravery at
the storming of the fortress of Khelat, which he at-
tempted to recapture, and was successful, On the 4th
Nov., 1840, he attacked the British force at Dadur, and
sacked the town. He was then repulsed under Major
Boscawen, and compelled to flee into Lheree ; he next
entrenched himself at Koika in the Hill country, but
was driven out by the attack of Lieutenant-Colonel Mar-
shall, and escaped with two followers cnly by climbing
over a lofty hill.

SHEEE SINGH.

At the death of Nao Nihil Singh, there remained of
Runjeet's supposed family only the Prince Shere Singh—
we say " supposed," for Runjeet had not implicit faith in
the Queen Mother, who declared herself pregnant after
Runjeet went out upon one of his expeditions, and had the
child ready born to greet his father on his return.
Others 'also have thought Shere Singh supposititious ;
still, although the 'Maharajah never formally acknow-
ledged him as his son, he gave him superior rank, and
allowed him to be called Koonwnr (Prince), all which
were quite sufficient to make his claim to the vacant
throne far superior to that of any other pretender—in-
deed, but one other claimant appeared, and that was a •
party who declared that the wife of Nao Nihil Singh
had prospects of giving an heir to the throne, but on
inquiry it was found that this little royal matron was
only seven years old, and had never seen her betrothed !
Shere Singh, therefore, ascended the throne. his was
not the character to curb or overawe the turbulent and
powerful Sikh chiefs. lie is what we should call
a good-natured jolly fellow : a mind to rule the
Punjab must be made of sterner stuff than this. Anarchy
and confusion at once arose : a vast army of 30,000
soldiers assembled together, without even advancing any
reason or object for their taking up arms, openly de-
claring their readiness to support him who bade highest
for their service, and roamed in disorder through the
devoted country. Nothing less than the entire treasure
of the new monarch would satisfy them, and he had not
the means to coerce them. Matters are at this minute
in an unpromising state. Shere Singh's power is broken,
and his treasury empty.

On Saturday, the person called- Molly Good, who passed for
Good's wife, together with a man named dannmell, who was
seen to leave her house, and in whose possevasion some of the
garments which belonged to the murdered wirnan,were found,
were taken up on the charge of-being aceessaties after the fact.
fe In Gammell's apartment, it is said, st.:yeral etters and other
things were found which fix on him the char of aiding Good
to escape. Both have been committed to pison, and will be
brought up for examination this day.
At eight o'clack last-evening Good arrived in a small, covered
van, at the Bow street police station; from Alaidstone gaol.
He was in the custody of Mr. Humphries, the superintendent,
and three constables of the South Eastera Railway police,
and it is said never spoke to either of them all the nay up.
Good made no ob-ervation upon his being placed in a cell at
Bow street, and all the three prisoners now in custody appear
to be determined Upon preserving the .most obstinate silence.

TURNPIKE ROADS BILL.

11Ir. GRIMSDITCPI would suggest to the Hon. Gentleman
below him the propriety of postponing the second reading of
the Turnpike Roads Bill, in order to give the parties interested
time to become acquainted with its provisions.
Air. N. SUTTON was sorry he could not accede to the sug.
gestion of his lion. Friend.
THE INCOME TAX.
Sir ROBERT PEEL brought up the Report on the Income
Tax Bill.

The Order of the Day having been moved that tha Bill
should be read a first time,

Lord J. RUSSELL and Mr. R. WASON rose together to ad-
dsess the House. The latter lion. Member was proceeding to
say that he wished to bring a case relating to the liberty of the
subject under the notice of the House, when he was interrupted
by cries of " Order."
Mr. WALLACE also attempted to address the House when
The SPEAKER interfered and said, that when an Hon.
Member brought forward a Bill from the bar of the House
be (lid so in obedience to the order of the House; and no other
motion could be introduced after it had been moved that such
a 13.11 be taken into their consideration. The Noble Lord, the
Member for Lealon, was, therefore, in possession of the House.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL then rose, and said that he
wished to speak to the ques!ion then before the House.
The House would perfectly well remember that on the question
of their approbation or disapprobation of the income tax, al-
though there had been divisions of the Committee, an divi-
sions of the House, there had been co division of the House
upon the main question. From some misunderstanding that took

SZLLILLAZ/1.71 TO P.TiSIiAWUIt.

The road distance between these two places is ninety
miles ; that portion from Jellalabad to within fifteen
miles of Peshawur is very strong, consisting of barren
and stony plains, with cross ranges of hills ; the river
runs some distance along their northern margin, and
then passes through narrow gorges, among the rocks,
while the road clambers over the high hills, called the
Landi Khana pass, in performing which an elevation of
3,400 feet is gained. A steep descent from the height
leads into a narrow valley, extending from east
to west fur about nine miles, and on the east of
which is the top or entrance to. the Khyber. pass, or
narrow ravine, between steep hills, and twelve miles in
length. The elevation at its head or top is about 3,000
feet, and at its foot 1,670, and four mites from the top,
on a conical hill, which rises up in the centre of the pass,
is the tort of Ali Musjid. A line stream gushes out of
the sand and rocks at the head of the pass, and rushes
down its bed. Gundamuk, which may be considered ns
the commencement of the valley of Jellalabad, is at a
considerable height, 4,600 feet; and for the next ten miles
overwt within i il
al Jellalabad
hilly country, which is cut by deepravines, having a descent of 2,400 feet,a very rough and stony road leads

before reaching
the plain in which Jellalabad stands. here .the change
is agreeable : rocks are converted into a fertile plain,
with villages and forts.

CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.

A new drama, of the Susan Hopley school, was brought out here
during the past week, under the title of The Convict Girl. The
plot is meagre, but there are several good situations in it, and on
the whole the piece is by no means one of the worst of its class.
The characters wereall well filled, more especially those intrusted to
Mr. Shepherd, whose acting is always correct, and not spoiled by
an eflbrt to do too much, Mr- C. Dillon, who is a respectable and
improving actor, Mr. Dunn, and Mr. Caries Mrs. Atkinson,
played well, and Miss E. Terrey had a part well calculated to elicit
touch of her peculiar talent, pre.eminently the first here, and indeedl
t the eastern side of the metropolis. This lady's style of acting re.
seinbl,s in some measure that of Mrs. Feely, but is di.
vested of the fault of imitation ; and as she has the
valuable accessories of youth and good looks we predicate
that, ere long, Miss Terrey will be found a dangerous rival to one
br the most popular actresses of the day. We witnessed in the
course of the week her first appearance as Macheath, in The
Beggar's Opera Burlesqued. The Norton Folgate version of the
piece was a burlesque upon the burlesque, being so made by the
viry culpable negligence of Messrs. Dunn and Caries, who were
guiltless of knowing one line of their parts. We strongly protect
against such an insalt to the audience as this is, and shall not fail
to visit with our severest censure any repetition of it. Miss Woolf,
as Pc,clustn, was lair, and so, also, was Mr. C. Terrey as
Mrs. Peachum, The Macheath of Miss Terrey we must see
again before we can give an opinion on It, as the
vulgar butTonery of Polly (Mr. Dunn) and Lucy (Mr. Carles)•loft
her no room for doing anything, save an occasional effbrt to set them
right. From the manner in which she sung " Hurrah, for the
road," which met with a tremendous encore, and " When the heart
of a man is depressed with care," we feel assured she would have
acquitted herself well. Indeed, in her singing of.. the former song.
there was much to recompense us for the disappointment we suf—
fered. We have heard more than one, and among them Mr.
Collins, sing it exquisitely, but were we to institute comparisons,
we should, in justice, give the palm to the lady. We trust on our
next visit to this theatre we shall see this piece properly put upon.

NUWA JUZZIA.R. I{2I.ELN.

Nuwab (a corruption for Nabob) Jubbar Khan is
brother of the Ameer Dost Mohamed, and was once
Governor of Cashmeer ; he arrived at Ghuznee during
its occupation by the B-itish forces, with offers of
submission from Dost Mohamed to Shah Soojah, ex-
pressive of his willingness to cede to him all right
to the city of Caubul, on condition that he should not be
compelled to remain in a British province under surveil-
lance, maintaining at the same time his indefeasible right
to the hereditary office of Wuzeer as head of the Barru-
kyes. At rejection of his proposition the old man ex-
pressed great indignation in his bluntness. , His house
lies within a mile of Caubul.
ABDOOL 12..A.NATUN ICHAN.

This was one of the refractory Ghiljee chiefs, and was
formally deposed by his Majesty Shah Soojah. His
fort was at Killa-i-Murgha. On the approach of the Bri-
tish force, being deceived by one of his.allies' he mounted
his horse, with his three wives and sister, dashed through
the pickets of his fort, and escaped. The next morning,
this fort, which had withstood two sieges by Shah
Soojah during his former sovereignty, was undermined
and demolishd.

AGRICULTURAL CONLIViUNXTY.

The agricultural community is divided
to five classes of cultivators :,=-•
1. The proprietors, who culti'vate their own lands.
2. Tenants, who pay a rent in money, or in part of
,e produce.

3. Buzgurs, who, like the metayers, are supplied with
seed, cattle, the implements of husbandry, and furnish
only their labour.
4. Hired labourers; and
5. Villeins, who are the property of the landlord.
Landed property., from the influence of various causes,
is more equally divided in Affghanistan than in most other
countries. By the operation of the Mahomedan law,
which divides the father's property equally among his
children, the largest landed estates are soon broken
down ; and it also has the effect of rendering these por-
tions too small for the support of their proprietors, they
are consequently sold to thoge who have acquired wealth
in public employments, oe:by agriculture or commerce.
Hence small proprietors, who cultivate their own lands,
either With the aid of their families orlabourers, are nume-
rous. The number of tenants is not great : some of these
subset it to others, who let it to metayers. The common
term of a lease is one or two years: the longest is for
five. The rent varies from one-tenth to two-thirds of
the produce, the latter being the rent of the fertile lands
around caubul. The value of land is from nine to twelve
years' produce. Labourers. in husbandry are paid by
the season, which is about nine montha. They receive
besides food and clothing, 30' rupees, equivalent to
31. 10s. In towns the price of labour is 4d. a day with
food : in Candahar it is between 6id. and 7d. The
price of provisions is moderate. In Candahar, coin
of the value of tenpenCe, would purchase five pounds
of wheat flour : and at Peshawur, the price of flour to
the British mission was 16. pounds for a single rupee of
the ♦alue of 2s. 4d. ,

730 ST M.A.NOMED XHAN.

Dost Mahomed Khan is said to have distinguished him-
self on various occasions by acts of personal intrepidity.
He is remarkably plain in attire, and would scarcely be
noticed from his appearance : his white linen raiments
afford a strange contrast to the gaudy exhibitions of
some of his chiefs, especially of the young Habib Ulah
Khan, who glitters with gold.
Akhbar Khan, who has performed such a conspicuous
part in the dismal tragedy at Caubul, is his second and
favourite son.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE MARQUIS CORNWALLIS.

During the administration of the Marquis Cornwallis,
who succeeded Mr. Hastings, Tippoo Saib, the son of
Hyder Ali, was stripped of nearly half his dominions,
and the Company's territorial revenue greatly increased.
Lord Cornwallis was accounted generally a friend to the
people of India, and laboured earnestly, if not always
successfully, to promote their interests, which he well
knew were identified with those of the British nation.
MARQUIS OF WELLESLEY'S ADMINISTRATION.

During the administration of the Marquis of Welles-
ivy, which began in 1797-8 and terminated in 1805.6,
the British empire in India was augmented by the con-
quest of Seringapatam and the whole territories of
Tippoo Saib, the cession of large tracts by the Mahratta
chiefs, the capture of Delhi, the ancient seat of the
Mogul empire, and various other important acquisitions.

All the advantages peculiar to mutual Lite Assurance, aris-
ing from a division amongst the assured of the whole of the
mutual Profits, and that security and freedom from responsibi-
lity which Proprietary Companies can alone afford, are com-
bined by the constitution of the London, Edinburgh, and
Dublin Life Assurance Company, which is the only guaranteed
Mutual Society. The rates of premium are somewhat lower
than in most of the mutual offices, and for the non-participating,
and for those who effect assurances for temporary purposes, or
debtor and creditor transactions, Tables of Premium have been
prepared, by which a less immediate payment is required than
by any other plan.
By a half premium credit system one-half of the premium•
Bray be retained for the first seven years, and repaid at the con-
venience of the assured : and by the Ascending Scale a greatly
diminished rate of premium is required for the first twelve years.
