BOMBAY PAPERS.

Accounts from the south-east frontier, we uncle _
stand, have been received, confirmatory of the melanello7
intelligence mentioned in our last.
The apprehension we then expressed respecting the lets
of Lieutenant Burlton, we lament to say, has proved W'
well-founded.
Rajah Tecrut Singh, after the massacre at Nunelow't!
which between thirty and forty men were killed, ineludiol
two unfortunate Eaglish gentlemen, moved southward'
perhaps, with the hope of overpowering the Politic'
Agent. Whatever his further designs might have heee
they were however completely frustrated by the prolvE,
operations of the Political Agent, who, calling in OF
aid of the Sylhet Light Infantry Battalion, directed Cap
Lister, commanding that corps, to proceed against the
surgents. Accordingly, that officer being instructed, that":
Rajah, with a cousiderable body of followers, had taken or
a position in the strong fortified village of Moomlee, three
miles from Churra-Poongee, lost no time in proceedingri:
attack the place; and a -communication, dated the I%
instatit Mates, that after some resistance, the place
taken by storm, when several of the Rajah's party Wt.,
killed, but be himself made his escape, being favoured vi
the thickness of the jungles.
A communication of the 15th instant, from Mamlo
mentions that intelligence having been received that tlO
Rajah, or some of his adherents, was at Ly-Runchoo,
place situated on a mountain, about 3,000 feet high, a
separated from Mambo by an extensive valley, Captaill
Liver made arrangements for moving on the place.
From the difficulties of the road, and the ease
which many parts of it might have been defended, it Os"
considered advisable to attempt taking the place by 6"!"-
prise. At midnight, therefore, on the 14th, COW
Lister, with a party of one hundred Sepoys, marched eels
eretly for Ly Runchoo during a storm of rain. A hittla
before day-break he reached the place, which he Wl' ,
evacuated, and destroyed it; and after giving. his party •
few hours rest returned to Mamloo. Teerut Singh ler
reported still to be in the neighbourhood, but the nonlbe
of his followers, it is said, was considerably reduced/
Gore, nment Gazette, April 27.
Calcutta was vi.ited yesterday evening by one of the
most severe thunder storms ever experienced here we be;
lieve. It commenced between the hours of six and see`
o'clock, accompanied by a very heavy squall from
south-east, by a copious shower of rain and a fall of 1"1„;
and lasted more than an hour. The thunder was aidditi;
loud and reverberating as if among rocky mountains, t"j-
lond crashes following each other in rapid succession, "4
the forked lightning, gleaming from pole to pole, 0"
terrific brilli mey and grandeur, seemed even while
gazed, as if it were dealing death and destruction around
the I Ind.

We have since heard that several accidents have Deg
curred, and there have been some miraculous escapee•/
Trvo sentries in the fort were killed outright.
