spatches in anticipation of the Overland Calcutta Mail.
The dates are from Calcutta to the 7th, and from Bombay
to the 15th April.
The hot season was beginning, and the usual result of

Dost Mahommed, had since gone from Cabul to Jellabald,
to settle all that Akhbar Khan had left there in a disturbed
