Captain Hand, of the Bombay Grenadiers, was barbarously murdered by Belochces on the 21st March. The ship Severn. after having encountered a severe gale off the Isle of France, arrived safe at Madras.  Lieutenant Grace, of her Majesty's 39th Regiment, died at Bellary on the 26:h April. Lieutenant Lysaght, of the 18th Madras, N. 1., died at Mukted on the 14th April.  Captain Halpin of her Majesty's 49th Regiment was drowned at Dinapore on the 21st March. Captain Henry of the new Bombay vessel Marianna fell overb ard and was drowned.  From Kruchee accounts are very distressing. Cholera has, it seems, broken out among the troops there with great severity, and its ravages are peculiarly felt• in her Majesty's 40th regiment. We regret to learn that Colonel Powell, late of that corps and afterwards in the 6th Regiment, has fallen a victim to the epidemic ; another officer of the 40th Regiment was so ill that he was not expected to recover. The Belochees were, it would appear, betaking themselves to the marauding system upon a very general and extensive scale, and many attempts had been made to waylay and cut off any officers or men who might be straggling from head quarters. Lieut. Clarke, of the Bombay Grenadiers, escaped with difficulty, after being severely wounded by a matchlock bullet. In fact, from all that we can learn the Belochees are abroad in every direction, and it will require all the attention and vigilance of our force to keep the country in a state of tranquillity ; but the duties of this, as we term it, police service, ought to be shared in by the troops of both armies, and not confined to one, when there are labours of a more exciting nature to be performed in a country hitherto unknown to the enterprise of a British army.—Madras Daily Advertiser, April 12. The Hugh Lindsay was obliged to put back to Bombay, after having proceeded 800 miles on her passage ; her mail, with a few extra letters, was brought by the Berenice. Major James R. Haig, of the 34th Madras, N. 1., and acting Adjutant-General of the Army, died on the Ist  'Lieutenant Douglas, of the Madras Engineers, is also dead.  Lieutenant Bligh, of her Majesty's 39th Regiment, died at Bellary on the 22d March.  The membets of the Naval and Military Commission sat yesterday at the Treasury upwards of four hours. Among those present were the Duke of Wellington, Duke of Richmond, Lord Hill, Earl of Minto, Viacount Howiek, Sir James Kempt, Sir Henry Harding°, Sir Thomas Hardy, Sir Charles Adam, and Sir George Cockburn.
