THE DAILY UNION

feated with considerable slaughter, anu inc pooty
they were bearing off re-taken The robber tribes,
destined for permanent expatriation had crossed the
Indus at Sukkur, about the Gath April, for their
new location in the Khyrpore territories The trou-
bes in the Punaub continue undated IL Is now
thought that Gooah Singh must have been OF insane
mind in that state Of fermentation which affects
those predestned fall, before he could have aban-
doned his mountain stronghold, TO place himself in
the power Of the mob or soldiers at Lahore. AS
yet there is neither sembance nor trace OF even the
embryo of government
The Amer of Cabool is said openly to have aban-
doned all idea Of invading Peshawur---moved chiefly
thereto by the belief that we are about to occupy
the PuDaub, Gwalior, and the other places in which,
a little more than twelve months since, such wild
disorder leigned. The kingdom OF Dude is fast APP
preaching that state Of anarchy and confusion IN
which il will become imperative on our government
to interfere in its affairs.
KAHpAHAm-The srdars of Kandahar have, to
all appearance, been considerably alarmed by the
military operations of Sir Charles Napier, and

of moesting them.

March, but is Of no importance.
Letters from Calcutta are to the 18th of May
from which we learn, that on the 9Th destructive
fire broke out in the office buildings of Messrs Mac
vicar, Smith, x CO., which, with all they contained
The fire soon seized the premises of Messrs. Sew,
ers & Co, adjoining which quickly shared the same
fate; here fortunately, portion of the books, prop
erty, &c, was saved. Messrs. Kilby & Co. also
were sufferers, but principally in household furni'
ture. How the fire originated was not known, The
loss of Macycar Smith, O. Co. is estimated at about
two and half lakhs of rupees. The total loss Of
all, including the buildings, is estimated at about five
or six lakhs. Such fire, it is believed, has not oc.
Cured in Calcutta since it was taken by Surg 90
dowah in 1856.
