MURDER OF DR. FORBES.  Intelligence was yesterday received at Agra of the dis tressing murder of Dr. Forbes by Ibrahim Khan, the Beelochee chief of Seistan. Dr. Forbes, under the protection of Mohumud Reza Khan, the most influential chieftain in Seistan, had completed the circuit of the lake, and visited all sites of interest in the province, accompanied by one Persian servant. From the residence of Mohumud Reza Khan he was escorted to Jehanabad, the fort of Ibrahim Khan, Beloochee, and after remaining with that chief a few days, he left for Sash, with a party of Ibrahim Khan's horse, for a guard. The Khan joined him at a short distance from the fort; they breakfasted together in a friendly manner, and Dr. Forbes was immediately murdered. Our report says that being attacked by a large hound, brought out to hunt the hog, he shot it in self-defence, and the Khan, in a moment of irritation, immediately fired on him. The other and more 'probable story is, that the Khan, on pretence of examining his arms, got possession of his run, pistols, and sword, then immediately gave the signal to his horsemen, who seized the doctor, dragged him through the water of the lake until he was half drowned, and when he was brought out the Khan shot him with his own hand. His Persian attendant was barbarously murdered a day or two after.—Agra Ukbar, Sept. 16. MURDER OF Mn. O'GoaMAN.—The only news we have from the north-west is the following letter giving an account of the murder of Mr. O'Gorman, at Candahar, alluded to in our supplement of Saturday last. The letter is dated the 26th July:— " I lament to inform you that a most respectable and well conducted European met with his death yesterday morning, from the hands of a murderous Affgban. He was a Mr. O'Gorman, who had accompanied Major Todd on his mission to Herat, in capacity of writer, and who remained here on that officer's departure for Hindoostan. He was quietly taking his morning walk through the Chasons, when the villain watching his opportunity, quietly walked up to him and buried his murderous chaco in his bowels ; he immediately attempted to repeat the blow, when a recruit of the 38th, who was on the spot, brought him to the ground by a severe blow of a lathee across the temple; he endeavoured to rise, whereupon the sepoy repeated the dose which enabled him to secure the culprit and hand him over to the civil authorities.
