HE OUTBREAK IN KooKA, INDIA
Papers from India, pia England, supply
advices to January %. In relation to
The recent Kooka outbreak in the Pun
]au5, the bombay Gazette says: 1.-The
new sect of fanatical Hindoos in the
PuDjaub, the Kookss, some of tho mem

mlnently before the public, appears to
Do increasing III numbers, and, ut the
same time, III audncity, for special tele-
grams informed ua, the other day, that
about LOU Kuokas had attacked Pathan
villnge near Loodiana, and killed ten
people. The outbreak. which hus been
m"gnitcd into Il ''rising," appears to
have been considered somewhat serious

OF the occurrence reaching the Com

aud despatched to tho disturbed district
Before the force detached from the camp
reached the Loodiana district, however.
the disturbers had been routed by the
local authorities. assisted by troops of
the Maharaja Of Futtiala, and driven
into the Puttiala territory, where about
seventy OF them, including their leaders,
were captured, and twenty or thirty
Killed or wounded. It appears that the
nrst attack was made on the night of
the l4th OF January, by party Of
Aookss, said to be about 200 in number,
on the ok Sikh fort of Malodh, about
twenty miles South of Loodiana, and
tho residence Of Sirdar Jith Slugh, a
sikh chief, OF great responsibility. The
ooJeot OF the outbreak is not at present
precisely known, but it is supposed that
IL was to obtain arms, as the next morn
ing. an attack was made by the same
party, largely reinforced. under the fort
OF Mulair Kotla, about ten or fifteen
miles to the South, and the capital of
the State OF that name. In the attack
on Malodh, the son Of the chief and one
or Two otner persons were wounded. and
two men killed. On tho other side, one
was killed and two captured. The
Aookss, in Attacking Mulair- -Kotla,
killed some seven persons. but we're re'
pulsed with loss. The policy OF prompt
the peace IN district containing such
an inf1ammable population as that Of
Loodiana and its neighborhood, must
commend itself to every one: and the
arrival of British troops from Delhi
within forty-eight hours from the time
of tho outbreak, will have convened n
wholesome lesson to any other wonld. .be
insurgents. The Maharaia of Puttiala
was at the Camp of Exercise when the
outbreak occurred, and hurried off i'm
nediately to his capital. No dintnrh.
ance of any kind has been reported from
any other part of the Punjaub." The
Delhi Gazette remarks that the Kooka
movement is not of yesterdays origin:
Its numbers are varionsly estimated at
botweon 30, 900 and 800, 600. The latter
hgnre, OF course, is greatly exaggerated,

abroad Of the ,nccess of the movement
Its object, though ostensibly and
avowedly religious, has, in common
with all such movements among warnke
aud conquered races, a deep political
nnder-current. The conquest of the

recovering it has never died out, but is
kept alive by the prophecies in the

speedy arrival on the scene of the force
now sent, the spark will be stamped
out; otherwise, it may alight on niue
