wished, and issued orders to a Duffeedar, but the Mat a-

iiarmed at such outrageous conduct, the karkoons and
writers rushed from the durbar, and with the Minister's
brother, Gunput Row Phunsia. Great confusion now
ensued, and it was-generally believed that Rajah Bhow
had been slain. People were running in all directions

his carbine, fiercely saying, " I will kill you."
The pates of the Palace were immediately closed, and

allow her exposure to danger. The people, enraged to
see the Minister in the power of Khoob Singh, became
tumultuous, and although the former gave repeated com-
mands not to kill the Mahajun, Mahomed Khaira, a

eewatee, struck the assailant with a spear and pierced
his temples. His carbine dropped from his hand, but he
was not killed—he seized his sword, which fortunately
was caught hold of by Rajah Bhow, who, although
receiving several trifling wounds about his palms and
fingers, managed to get free from his adversary, and
eained the upper apartments in safety.

wrote to Dr. Bruce to attend as speedily as possible. He
next inquired whether the Maharajah had returned from

ceeded thither, and conducted his Highness to the Palace,
and remained until the Minister's wounds were dressed
in his presence, when he accompanied the Rajah home

Great praise is due to the Resident for his .
conduct, which, in all probability, prevented further

arming people who attend the Durbar, and have

THE POTATO CROP.—The potato disease in this coun-

proof that the panic has subsided, our markets are well
supplied, and prices are considerably lower than for a

now at 16s. 6d. per cwt., the highest figure.-

THE IRON CH EST.—A short time since a gentlemanat
Cork sold, amongst some rubbish, an old iron safe for 20

been purchased could not at first find the key, but when he
did he discovered, from the label, that its contents were
