The rainy season hal not then terrninat d, and until the
return of the fine weather nothing of an extraordinary na-

favourable in all parts of India, and the people engaged in
agricultural pursuits were contented.

awaited by the Khalsees and other fanatics, in order to
avenge their wrongs on the present heads of the Lahore
Government. The British authorities were not idle in
making preparation for the approaching convulsion in the
Sikh territory. Regiments were forming at Feroz?pore
and Umballa, for the purpose of absorbing some of the
best of the disbanded Sikh soldiers. An army was also to
be ready on the Sutlej and Bees to protect the British
frontiers,and in case of necessity to put down the Sikh revo-
lution. Lords liurdinge and Gough were at Simla. Gholah

Singh is reported to be in a very unsatisfactory state, not
only on account of the turbulent chiefs over whom he ob-
tained the rule, by advancing large sums of money last
March, but also from his own intrigues, which prevent
him from conforming with the promises of the treaty. It
was said that several British offiders had been murdered
in his territory, and by his instigation, but the story is not
sufficiently authenticated to be implicitly relied on. The
Sikh province of Moultan is still at war with the Wuzeer
Lall Singh, and the Mahommedan cHef of that fertile
district has been victorious in some rencontres with the
Sikh troops.
Scinde is tranquil, and with the prospect of an abundant
harvest. The cholera, after having ravaged Kurrachee
and Hyderabad, was attacking the villages along the
Indus. There was some sickness at Sukkur, which
caused the removal of her Majesty's 17th Regiment to
the sea coast.
There was a rumour circulated of the speedy retirement
from Scinde of Sir Charles Napier, whose health is de-
scribed as seriously affected by the climate. Five regi-
ments were, it was said, to be removed from Scinde as
soon as the fine weather set in. The probability existed,

THE LIVERPOOL sTANDAB,I3.

Strong proposals from the leading men of all parties
are now making in Ireland for the convention of a National
Committee in Dublin, to take into consideration the pre-
sent difficulty in Ireland. It is not, however, likely to
take place; and if it did, it is expected that if it would
be productive of any effect, it would be the promulgation
of a national declaration for repeal.
FORCE AT THE COAST OF IRELAND.—There are now
12 men-of-war steamers, of 1756 collective horse power,
5864 tons, and 720 officers and men, and three storrships
of 3000 tons and 100 men, stationed off the coast of Ire-
land. The above, together with two ordnance lighters,
also employed, make 17 sail of nearly 9000 tons and above
850 men, on the coast of Ireland.
