SICI.ETAIIT—Lewis Crombie, ESQ.
This Railway will establish a most desirable line of communication
between London, Dover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and the West of England,
traversing in its coarse many wealthy, populous, and important
districts.
It will commence at the Reigate-station on the Dover and Brighton
Railways, and pass by Dorking and Guildford to Basingstoke. From
thence it will proceed by Whitchurch, Andover, and Salisbury, to
Yeovil. By whichmeans the connexion between the East and West
Coasts of England will be eomplets.
A farther and most important feature of the undertaking is, that
by using the line of the South Western Railway from London to
Basingstoke, it will bring Salisbury and Yeovil into an entirely direct
line of communication with the Metropolis. The distance from
London to Salisbury will be about 80 miles, and to Yeovil 120 miles.
It will also unite four of the principal Railways in the kingdom ;
viz., the Dover, Brighton, South-Western, and Great Western, and at
the seine time will most materially aid communication between the
ports of Dover, Shoreham, Portsmouth, Southampton and Bristol, a
most desirable object in a national point of view.
A reference to the accompanying map will manifestly prove that
few Railways in the kingdom will form a medium of communication
with a greater aggregate of wealthy, populous, and important places.
By it, Salisbury, Sherborne, Yeovil, Bath and Bristol, Bradfbrd,
Trowbridge, Frome, Guildford, Farnham, Basingstoke, Whitchureb,
Andover, Wcyhiil with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, Milborne Port,
Stalbridge, and llchester, with the numerous smaller towns and villages
in their vicinity, will be brought into immediate eonnexion with each
ether, rendering the undertaking eminently calculated to promote the
convenience of the public, and certain to yield a large return to its
proprietors.
The country to be traversed will, as has been ascertained from se-
ttled surveys, admit of the construction of the Railway at a moderate
cost. The portions yet to be formed will comprise the country be-
tween Reigate and Salisbury, about 76 miles (lees about 11 miles
proposed to be used of the South Western Railway), and that between
Salisbury and Yeovil about 40 ranee, 'making the entire length of the
line yet to be constructed no more than 106 miles.
Applieation to be made for Shares to the Provisional Committee ;

W. Matthews, a highly-respectable farmer, of the parish of Brent,
Devon Brent, March Ist, 1842. Dear Sir,--I consider it a duty
Incumbent on me to state to the pablic the invaluable properties of
your Scorbutic Drops. You remember, when I first applied to you,
that I was almost out of hopes of receiving any benefit Par my poor
suffering child, for I believe I informed you that I had been trying
but every thing in order to give my child ease, but day by day she
continued to get worse, until at last all strengthleft her, and she was
so longer able to walk ; her body and head were covered all over
with scorbutic eruptions, her appetite had vanished, the erup-
tions would itch in such a dreadful manner that she would roll
herself In agonies on the ground,
ever by night. Immediately you saw her, you told mo you were
eertain your Scorbutic Drops would cure her. Before she had taken
one bottle of them all the itching ceased, her appetite returned, and
and she could get no sleep what-
she enjoyed sound and refreshing sleep. By the time she had taken
the second bottle her skin was as fair its any person's, the use of her
limbs was restored is her, and, I thank God, her health is now as
good sr better than it ever was.
" I remain, dear Sir, yours respectflilly,

I heard you were gone to St. Petersburg, I trembled,
for I was afraid that you would have gone to Bokhara
with letters from the Emperor. God be praised that
the Emperor did not grant you the letters, and that
you did not proceed.
As long as that horrid-fellow Abd-00l Samet Khan
is at Bokhara, nothing will be of any use. Every
Englishman's fate is sealed—he must die. The fol-
lowing persons have been murdered at Bukhara :-

I made the whole journey from Bokhara to Meshed
on horseback with a rupture got at Bokhara, and with-
out a bandage, and also from Meshed to Tehran, other
present of a Tuctrawan (litter)
600 miles,
Tabris I was taken ill with a bilious fever, which de-
tained me there fifteen days. The Russian Consul
at Tabris made me a
which conveyed me to Awajick, 160 miles, but
from this place to Erzroom, the mountains co-
vered with snow, and the horrid precipices, pre-
vent the passage of a Tuctrawan, and I was
obliged to travel 300 miles under continued
agonies, and at night eaten up by lice and
fleas. At Hassan Kaleh, great was my joy at
finding a Tuctrawan, belonging to the Pacha of
Erzroom, which was sent on through the kindness of
our good, benevolent, excellent, kind-hearted, and

dear Colonel Williams, whose equal is scarcely to be
found in this world. At nine miles from Erzroom
Colonel Williams came himself to meet me. I was
in such a distressed state, that I was taken at once to
a Turkish bath awd was supplied with fresh clothing,
and I was obliged to use mercury five days before I
could get rid of the troublesome parasites, and was
then so debilitated that I could not stand upon my
legs. Thanks be to God for his loving kindness, in
sending me such friends as Colonel Williams and Mr.
and Mrs. Redhouse, who have taken such tender
care of me that I am now able to record to my friends
in England the kindness of those excellent friends.
Mr. Brant, the Consul, also comes every other day
to see me, and Dr. Dixon is exceedingly kind. God
be praised ! But there is not such a man in the
British army as Colonel Williams!
It was my intention, to have brought with me to
England Moolah Mehdee, the kind Jew of Meshed,
but Colonel Williams and Colonel Farrant persuaded
me to send him back to Meshed.
Yours affectionately,
JOSEPH WOLFF.

Note by Cat tom Grover.—Mr. Burchardt, best known
as Sheikh Ibrahim, traversed the Desert from the Horitm
to Cairo. On arriving at the English Consul's, where
he was hospitably received, he requested to be allowed
immediately to change his clothes. Having made a
bundle of the clothes ho had worn, he said to the ser-
vant, " My good :fellow, quick; take away that bundle,
for, if you de not" (alluding to the vermin), "it will
walk away."

OVERLAND MAIL.

INDIA AND CHINA.

The intelligence received by the present mail is to the Ist
of February from Bombay, Madras the 24th of January,
Calcutta the 23d of the same month, and China the 19th of

December.

The news altogether is satisfactory. In the interim of
India, tranquillity prevails with the exception of a skirmish-
ing warfare between the British and the chiefs of Kolapore,
Sawuut Warree, and the )Torthern Concan. Several collisions
had taken place, in one of which, in the month of January,
the following officers were killed :—Captain Taynton, of the
Bth Madras Native Infantry, and Lieutenant Campbell and
Ensign Faure, of the 2d Bombay European—and seven ethers
wounded. There are four corps of British troops employed
in this service under General Delamotte ; Lieutenant-Colonel
Williams, Madras army; Lieutenant-Colonel Carruthers, of
her Majesty's 2d Regiment ; and Colonel Outram. The
fighting is reduced almost to single shots in the jungles, for
the rebels refuse to show themselves in large bodies in any
place where they can be attacked. Colonel Outram was en-
gaged in scouring the country. The accounts in general
represent this as a very paltry and contemptible warfare.
The accounts from Sinde are very favourable on the whole,
though we regret to learn that sickness still prevailed to a
great extent in the 78th Regiment-. It had at last
been removed from Sukkur to Hyderabad, but in a
very feeble state. The rest of the troops were healthy.
The whole of the country is 'perfectly tranquil and satisfied
with British rule. Some of the neighbouring tribes, how-
ever,
infest the frontiers, and Sir Charles Napier had left
Kurrachee to chastise them. He had published a manifesto
fn reference to the disturbances, which will be found below.
After leaving Kurrachee Sir Charles proceeded by Hydera-
bad to Larkhana and Sukkur, leaving the troops behind him
at Larkhana, to avoid the pestilential air of the Indus. He
remained some ten days at Sukkur, until the approach of
the Bengal 2d European Regiment and Bundelkund Legion
to relieve the troops about to be detached. The artillery
having been dispatched before him, he proceeded on the
13th to Shikarpore, and was followed by 1,600 ca-
valry, regular and - irregular, and 2,400 infantry,
under the command of Mikjor-General Hunter, who was
directed to make his head-quarters at Kunghur, on the
further side of the desert. The object is to chastise the
Deomkie, Jakranee, and Boogtie tribes, to which belong the
robber bands which have infested our frontier throughout the
hot season. The results of the expedition are looked to with
interest. The Delhi papers, and others, give particulars of
the revolution which had taken place at Lahore, but they
possess little interest. A boy had been placed on the throne,
to be deposed or murdered as soon as some chief, who can
command the services of a mercenary army, marches
against him. In fact the army completely controls
the Government, and sets up whatever idol for
the moment pleases its fancy. Accounts from Delhi
state that Sir Henry Harding* was expected in the north-
west provinces in May. The British troops along the line o
the Punjaub were kept in constant activity by drilling and
reviews, and preparations are evidently in progress to watch,
and perhaps control, events in a country so intimately con-
nected with the British possessions in India. Railway
schemes were in operation both at Calcutta and Bombay, and

it is extremely probable that in a short time some of them
will be carried into effect. Sir Henry Hardinge remained at
Calcutta, where Sir Robert Sale, with Lady Sale, had arrived
by the Hindostan. The accounta from Hong-Kong, which
are to the 19th of December, are favourable. The Chinese

inhabitants had become accustomed to the new Government,
and were peaceably engaged in their usual labours.

(From the Bombay Times.)

The troubles of the Kolapore and Sawnnt Warree country, and the
formidable robberies in the Northern Concan, continue almost un-
abated, in defiance of the efforts of an army of 12,000 men,
scattered in detachments above and below the ghauts. Various
forts and villages have been taken—detachments have been parted
from each ether, united, and parted again; yet subordination can
scarcely be maintained beyond gunshot from our pickets. Colonel
Outram has obtained command of a light irregular detachment,
and is scouritig the jungle in all directions, attacking forts, and
taking possession of them when evacuated by the enemy. The
roads, nevertheless, continue blocked up, and general intercourse
interrupted. Three officers in the course of the month have fallen
—Captain Taynton, of the Sth M. N. I.; and Lieutenant Camp.
bell, and Ensign Faure, 2d European L. I.; seven others have been
wounded—Lieutenants Tyacke, Thompson, Munbee, Gardiner,
and Peyton, and Captains Kelso and Jacob. Colonel
Ovens has retired from the Satter* residency, and is
now in Bombay. Mr. Reeves has been restored to the
political charge of the southern Mahratta country. General Napier,
with a force of nearly five thousand men, has started with an expe-
dition across thedesert, from Shikarpore, to chastise the Doomkie
robbers, who, for the past ten months, have infested our frontier.
The country generally continues quiet. The temperature at pre-
sent is moderate and agreeable. Large supplies of pontoons and
flat-bottomed boats have recently been forwarded from Bombay for
service on the Indus. A fresh revolution has occurred at Lahore.
Heera Singh the vuzeer, hischief adviser Pundit Jella, with two
other sirdars of note, have been slain. Property to the amount of
40,0001., chiefly in gold and silver, was found in the house of the
deceased minister, and was confiscated and made over to the public
treasury. The entire power is in the hands of the troops, who
pull down and set up governments at pleasure. The latest of the
governments was working tranquilly and with effect, and it is now
universally admitted that nothing short of the violation of our fren.
tier—an incident not likely to oecur—will induce the Governor.
General to interfere. The troubles in Kashmere seem on the in.
crease. There is little news of interest from beyond the passes.
Affghanistan appears as tranquil, and its chiefs as authoritative, as
during the most peaceful portion of its history.
The Runnymede and Briton transports, the one from Australia
and the other from England, with troops for Calcutta, have made
their appearance after having for a long while been missing. They
were believed to have gone down at sea, but turned out to have
been wrecked side by side on the Andaman Islands, in the Bay of
Bengal—no lives lost.

We have intelligence from China to the 18th December 1 it is
of comparatively little interest.
With the exceptions mentioned above, India generally is tram.
quil. Some apprehensions of drought are entertained from the de-
fective fall of rain during the two past wet seasons. Sir H. Har.
ding. continues at Calcutta quietly conducting the affiiirs of Go.
vernment, and using every effort for the improvement of the
country.

SINDE.
We have, since our last, received letters of the 25th from Kur-
rachee, of the 20th from Hyderabad, and of the 16th fromiSukkur.
From the seacoast the tidings are of little interest; Kurracllee
continued healthy and pleasant; the improvement of the canton.
ment, and advancement of horticulture, proceeding apace. The
news from Hyderabad refers chiefly to the continued sickness of her
Majesty's 78th Highlanders. The regiment, having been detained
in Sinde till not a man remained who had not been in hospital, left
for Hyderabad about:Christmas, in hopes of restoration from change
eflair. The same fatal mismanagement which has attended all their
movements, seemed destined to afflict them to the end. The boats
provided for their accommodation were insufficient in numisor, and
inadequately fitted up. The men were crushed so together that the
heat and stench throughout the day were insufferable, while their
sufferings from an opposite cause--the chilling river air—were
quite as severe at night as during the day. The first wing reached
Hyderabad on the 31st ; every preparation had been made for their
reception : extra hospitals had been fitted up by the engineers with
equal care and expedition; the whole medical force were in readi-
ness with bearers and helps of every kind to assist the poor fellows
to their quarters—and they sorely needed them all. Not a man was
able to disembark without assistance ; 25 had died on the passage ;
three expired on landing; two were cut off on the first, and five
on the second day after their arrival-35 in all from their em-
barkation a week before. The second, wing was still more unfor.
tunate than the first ; it lost the frightful number of 90 men on
the voyage down the river. The loss of the whole regiment be-
tween the let December and the bth January amounted to no
fewer than 182 fighting men in 34 days. They are, it is believed,
destined to proceed to Kurrachce, to share the European barracks
with her Majesty's 86th, sent there a few months back to recruit.
The arrangement is likely to prove detrimental to both regiments.
Sense 60 or 100 men of the Highlanders still alive are, it is feared,
past recovery and nothing but the most careful, speedy, and com.
ploto change of air, and the most careful treatment, can save the
majority of the remainder. Of a regiment which left Bombay one
thousand strong a year since, not one.third will ever niers be fit
for field duty in India. This is the best commentary that can be
offered on the climate of Sinde in the second year of our occu-
pation. Had the various opinions of the medical omeers been
taken, it is universally believed that this frightful state of mat-
ters might in a great measure have been averted. We men-
tioned in our last that Sir C. Napier with his staff had pro.
ceeded to the upper country, accompanied by 314 of the volunteers
from her Majesty's 13th, a portion of the Sinde horse, and camel
corps. Having left the troops at Larkhana, to avoid the pestilen-
tial air of the Indus, he proceeded with his staff to Sukkur. He
had on his way ruftirred much annoyance from the occurrence of

extensive robberies in his camp—an awkward commentary an his
brother's assertions as to the security of property and respect for
British officers in Sinde. Captain Malcolm, of the Sinde horse,
was plundered to the extent of between 200 and 300 rupees.
Captain Jameson, commanding the camel baggage corps, had his
books, sword, and clothes carried away just as he undressed him..
self. The Sinde horse lost their treasure-chest, containing about ,
2,000 rupees, though under a guard of their own troops. The
Khan of Khelat having been requested to assist us in punishing the
robbers who had infested our outposts, came dowa from his moun-
tain capital with 2,000 men, but found himself unable to effect
anythit g of importance, and having suffered several re-
verses, found himself compelled to retreat. A vakeel was
sent out to urge an interview between him and the General,
but this he peremptorily declined ; Captain Brown, Sir C.
Napier's private secretary, was next deputed, but with
equal want of success, to obtain in writing the reasons of
the aversion of his Highness to meet the General ; and to con.
coct measures for the coercion or punishment of the freebooters.
The deputy was on his return very nearly made prisoner ; 380 of
the enemy's cavalry having made a dash over about eighty miles of
country, in the hope of seizing him. Instructions had meanwhile
been obtained from the Governor-General to have the frontier
tranquillised; the 2cl Bengal Europeans and Bundelkund Legion
were close at hand ; the former arriving on the 14th, the latter on
the 16th, so as to release from garrison duty a considerable body of
troops. Sir C. Napier having, while at Sukkur, visited Meer Ali
Moored and made all fitting arrangements, set off on the 13th for
Shikarpore, the guns and battering train having preceded bins. He
was followed on the 15th by General Hunter; the total force or-
dered on the expedition amounting to 2,440 infantry, 1,600
cavalry, with horse artillery, mortars, howitzers, mountain train,
and camel corps, amounting in all to probably net much under
5,000 men. They were directed to push right across the desert.
General Hunter, in command of the infantry, was for a time to
take up his head-quarters at Khangur, forty miles from Shikar-
pore. The whole were then to force their way into the Boogtie
mountains, and to attack the robber tribes in their fastnesses—fast..
nesses to us rendered memorable by the events at Deyrab, Kahun,
Nufoosk, and Surtoe. in 1840. We hare no direct intelligence from
the expedition, but observe it stated that Captain Jacob had sur-
prised one part of the enemy, capturing sixty prisoners, and cutting
up the rest. Captain Slater is said to have intercepted another
on their return to the mountains with :a drove of 6,000 cattle col.
lected in the plains. The robbers were dispersed and the plunder
recovered. Sir Charles himself is reported to have reached Devrah,
the scene of major Billamore's adventures just before the occupation
of Kahun; and that his nephew, Captain Napier, had had a narrow
escape of becoming prisoner. We shall wait with much anxiety
the results of this very wild and ill-consiciered looking expedition.
The condition of the frontier demanding it is exactly what we two
years since anticipated. We may exterminate some hundreds of
the robbers, but abundance will escape to annoy us ; and it will not
be within the present or the five next generations that the caterans
of the Halle and Suliman mountains will be weaned from the prac-
tices which have existed amongst them for twenty centuries before,
tempted by the rich booty a British camp supplies, and exasperated
by injuries inflicted on their kinsmen by the swords of the stranger.
Amongst the ferocious mountaineers robbery is a trade, the practice
of murder matter of business, and revenge in its strictest sense a
virtue. Before crossing the frontier the Governor of Sinde Issued
a manifesto explanatory of his designs. In this he taunts the
Khan of Khelat with his inability te keep:his subjects in order ; the
paper blaming the Sovereign being addressed te the subjects, the
robber tribes about to be coerced, owning allegiance to no one saving
their own chief, paying no tribute, and permitting no interference
with their affairs.

(From the Gentleman's Gazette.)
We lay before our readers an important document. It is an au-
thentic translation of the manifesto or proclamation issued by Ge-
neral Sir C. Napier on his proceeding with the expedition into the
country of the Doomkies, the Jakranees, and the Boogties, &c.,
for the purpose of putting a atop to their predatory incursions into
the Sinde territory.
