representative of his country's honour. He was astonished,
he said, ' at their departing from that good thith with which
he had been led to entertain proposals for a pacific arrange-
ment; that the terms they proposed were too dishonourable

4ACNAGHTEN'S MURDER

" In leaving the cantonments, Sir William expressed his
disappointment at the paucity of men on the ramparts, and
the apparent inertness of the garrison at such a critical
moment, saying, However, it is all of a piece with the
military arrangements throughout the siege.' On his leaving
the gate, only 16 troopers of the body-guard were in atten-
dance, but the remainder shortly afterwards joined, under
Lieutenant Le Geyt.
" Sir William now for the first time explained to the
officers who accompanied him, the objects of the present con-
ference, and Captain Lawrence was warned to be in readi-
ness to gallop to the Bala Hissar, to prepare the king for the
approach of a regiment.

"Apprehensions being expressed of the danger to which
the scheme might expose him, in case of treachery on the
part of Mahomed Akber, he replied, ' Dangerous it is ; but
if it succeeds, it is worth all risks: the rebels have not ful-
filled even one article of the treaty, and I have no confidence
in them ' • and if by it we can only save our honour, all will be
well. At any rate I would rather suffer an hundred deaths,
than live the last six weeks over again.'
" Meanwhile, crowds of armed Affghans were observed
hovering near the cantonment, and about Mahomed Khan's
fort, causing misgivings in the minds of all but the envoy
himself, whose confidence remained unshaken. On arriving
-- the bridge, they were met by Mahomed Akber Khan.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 14..
Owing in. part, no doubt, to tie boisterous weather, suPPhes
from all quarters are on a moderate scale. The trade during
week, as regards holders, has manifested much firmness, and prices
have shown an upward tendency. On the part of buyers, how-
ever, so much caution and reluctance to comply with the advance
have been evinced, that we cannot report more than a steady
business as having been transacted since our last report. The
same observations apply to, Liverpool and Wakefield, andthrough-
out the kingdom the trade exhibits much firmness, without, how-
ever, any animated demand. At our market this morning, the
quantity of new Wheat on offer, either English or Irish, is very
small ; and this, as well as fine foreign, is firmly held for an ad-
vance of 2d per bushel, which is complied with in the transactions
which have taken place.
Flour moves off in retail parcels, at full prices, and, in some
instances. an advance of 6d to Is per sack is obtainable on
choice qualities. Fine Oats in small supply, and saleable at our
quotations. There is more disposition to buy Meal, and best sampis
bring fully fid per load advance. Beans as last quoted. Malt IS
held firmly for an advance of Is per load. the
