Sinde, the theatre of the existing hostilities in In-
dia, is a country lying to the west of Kutch. It is
governed
by three Ameers (Nobles), the KING having
expelled. The Government is extremely des-
potic and oppressive. It is known that the natives
are very much dissatisfied, and the reports which
they receive of the mild, equitable, and protecting
Government of the British territory under Lord
HASTINGS, have made them solicitous of coming
under it. His Excellency Governor ELPHINSTONE,
by his mission to the neighbouring country of Gabul,
is well acquainted with the resources and warlike
means of the Sindean Chiefs ; and little doubt is enter-
tained of their insurrection being speedily overcome.
The following is an extract of a letter, dated Bom-
bay, August 26 A few weeks ago, during the
proclamation of his Majesty's Accession, a dreadful
accident occurred here, caused by the explosion of a
weather-chest, by which there were eight or nine Eng-
lish Artillery killed and wounded. It took place not
far from the spot which I occupied during the cere-
mony, and I felt the shock distinctly. On repairing
thither, a dreadful scene presented itself. I was par-
ticularly struck by noticing a black man's foot left
exactly in the position it stood in while the owner
was living, though the rest of the body was blown to
atoms. Being in a sandal exactly resembling an old
Roman buskin, and perfectly untouched, it looked
more like the fragment of a black marble statue than
a piece of flesh and blood. What rendered the scene
infinitely more distressing was, that a brother of the
poor wretch sat lamenting over it, who had recog-
nized the foot from some peculiarity in the sandal.
This was thought but an unfavourable augury for the
serenity of the present reign, and the natives, not defi-
cient in superstition, did not fail to comment on it."
The following Order has been issued from the
Treasury Chamber, relating to Wine exported to the
West Indies in Cases :
TRIASI7ILY CHAKIII4 Dscnnra 4, 11120.
" I am commanded by their Lordships to acquaint you, with
reference to your Report of nth August last, that in consequence
of the urgent representations my Lords have received of the
inconvenience of requiring Wine to be exported to the West
Indies, in Cases containing six dozen each, my Lords are very
desirous of giving relief to the Trade, if practicable, without
injury to the Revenue, and under these circumstances, my Lords
are pleased to authorize you to allow the drawback on Wine
exported as above, in Cases containing three dozen each, for
twelve months, at the expiration of which time my Lords desire
that you will report whether any injury has occurred from this
indulgence. " S. R. LUSHINGTON.

To make the Revenue of a Country exceed the
Expenditure, is the desideratum in Finance. The
same apples to private life, but the Minister must
resort to Taxation, to accomplish the means, whilst
the private man has only to court a smile from
Fortune; and never did her Ladyship appear to
greater advantage, than at the present moment—as
she has no less than NINE Prizes of £21,000 in the
present Lottery, and intends distributing at least
Three of them Next Tuesday, as on that day the
