INDIA

The Punjaub still continues to be the theatre of dissension
and bloodshed. Three Europeans holding high rank in the
Scheik army have been murdered by the discontented and
mutinous soldiery. Their names are Ford, Foulken, and
Manton, the two latter Frenchmen, the former an English-
man, and one paymaster of her Majesty's 16th foot. There
appears to be good reason for supposing that the discontented
nobles at the court of Lahore are endeavouring to compass
the death of Shere Sing. By the latest intelligence from that
place it seems the Maharajah was taking an excursion on the
river, and that the boat in which he was embarked foundered
without any apparent cause. This could only have occurred
through treachery on the part of some of his attendants.
Shere Sing, however, succeeded in swiu.rning to the shore.
The whole of his suite were also saved, with the exception of
one sirdar, who has not since been heard of.

SCINDE AND AFFGHANISTAN.
Nothing of importance has occurred since the despatch of
the last overland mail. Major Todd has arrived in safety at
Candahar. There are various reports in circulation as to the
propriety of his conduct in so hastily quitting Herat. Some
of the Calcutta journals state that the Governor-General con.
hiders him to have been too precipitous, and is therefore much
displeased. This is however mere rumour. A large portion
of the Bombay troops have advanced through the Bolan pass.
The head.quarters under Major-General Brooks arrived at
Quettah on the 2d ultimo, and will remain there until the
receipt of further instructions from Lord Auckland. A few
weeks will therefore determine whether Herat is to be left to
the Shah Kamram and his minister Yar Maly'med, or to be
held by a British garrison. The adoption of the latter mea.
sure would certainly be the most effectual means of destroy.
ing the Persian influence in that quarter. The young Khan
of Khelat is still amongst his own people. The political au-
thorities, notwithstanding their repeated disappointments, are
still in immediate expectation of his surrendering himself.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.—Trus DAY.

(From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.)

Excepting a moderate supply of Oats and Oatmeal, in-
cluding a few parcels of Flour, we have received very little
English or Irish produce of any kind since this day week ;
from the Baltic and America, however, the import of Wheat
amounts to upwards of 10,000 quarters ; of Beans, chiefly
Egyptian, to 3,080 quarters ; and of Flour to 4,000 barrels
from Philadelphia, with 1,912 bags from Calcutta.
Since the close of last week, the weather has been rather
cold, but, with a show of rain this morning, it is again
milder; and, although there are partial complaints here of
the wheat plant being rather thin upon the ground, all the
other crops appear luxuriant ; whilst from more distant parts
of this country, and especially from Ireland, our advices
generally indicate the prospect of an abundant harvest.
Our market this morning being tolerably well attended by
town and country buyers, the Wheat trade assumed a firmer
aspect ; and having some demand from the northern coun-
ties and for shipment to Ireland, transactions to a fair
extent were effected, in which the decline of Friday was not
only fully recovered, but an advance of ld. per 70 lbs. was
in several instances realised on the rates of this day
se'nnight.
English and Irish Fleur was is per sack, and Foreign 6d
per brl. dearer, with a moderate demand for each ; but in
bonded articles no business was done, except in Egyptian
Beans; a cargo of which`bas been sold, to be delivered at
21s 6d per qr.
Having no English Barley at hand, prices were nominal;
meanwhile good samples of Irish and Foreign move off in
small lots for grinding, on quite as high terms as last week ;
Malt fully supports our quotations. In Beans and Pease no

variation.
Oats were offered ld per 451bs below the rates of Tuesday
last, and some parcels disposed of at that abatement. Oat-
meal, upon a limited sale, receded in value 6d per 2401b5.
