In conclusion, we can only repeat our poor but
heartfelt acknowledgments to our friends and to the
public. If the past is any guarantee of the future,
our connexion will be cemented by the best endea-
vours on our part and by continuing kindness on
theirs. To the public, whether commercial or ag-
ricultural, 4nd to families especially, we are making
arra getnents which will enable us, we trust, to
offer increased information and instruction ; and
by which advertisers will find in our columns in-
creased publicity for any favors with which their
liberality may reward our endeavours.

The news from India in our present publication,
brought by extraordinary express, in anticipation of
the Overland Mail, will be read with intense feelings
of mingled pride in the triumph of British valour,
and regret at the cost of human life by which that
triumph has been achieved. At present, we fear,
the full extent of our loss in these splendid affairs is
not before us. That it is unprecedentedly great
however is certain ; and especially it is great in the
most important portion of an Indian army. Amongst
the killed will be seen, with regret, the honoured
name of the gallant Major-General Sir Robert Sale,
so recently an honoured guest in our town. Like a
true soldier he " died in his harness," having only
escaped the murderous and cowardly assassins of
Affghanistan to return to a nobler fate, wreaked by
the hands of a nobler foe, upon the plains of Lahore.
With him died Major Broadfoot, agent to the Go-
-General, Major-General Sir John M`Caskill,
and a number of valuable officers. Amongst the
wounded we notice a host of distinguished names,
whose prominence in the engagement shews it to
have been a deadly and arduous struggle. Our
gallant Governor-General, Sir Henry Hardinge,
who commanded the centre, had a very narrow
and Sir Hugh Cough, commander-in-chief,
horse shot under him.
