Excerpt: ...more secure place ' In the Jlfemoira of Humayun, written by Jouher the ewer-bearer, (a faithful servant who attended that monarch during his adversity, and was eventually rewarded by a treasurership in Lahore) and translated by Ma'or Stewart, it is asserted that Bahadur had entere into a treaty with the Portuguese, (established at Surat some time before), and had by their assistance raised a force of 6,000 Abyssinians or negroes. Price, on the authority of Abu Fazil, states, that Bahadur had sent a deputation to Diu to solicit the aid of the Portuguese viceroy, or captaingeneral of the possessions of that nation on the western side of India, requesting his assistance in Waging war against the house of Timur. The Portnguesc commander accordingly assembled at Diu a considerable body of troops, and a powerful naval armament, in readiness to meet Bahadur, on whose arrival, it is said, some cause of suspicion, not satisfactorily explained, induced the European chief, instead of coming to meet his ally, to remain on board ship on retence of illness. Bahadur, with a degree of confi ence which seems to indicate the whole affair to have originated, not in a misunderstanding, but in systematic treachery on the part of the Portuguese, put himself on board a galley to visit the alleged invalid; but had no sooner reached the admiral's vessel, than, perceiving the deceit practised u on him, he endeavoured to return to the shore. The Portuguese had however resolved on first obtaining from him the cession of certain ports at Guzerat, and endeavoured to detain him by fair to occupy the settled part of Guzerat. The bill fort of Champaneir, he surprised by a stratagem, having, with 300 chosen men, scaled the walls in the night by means of iron spikes, fixed...

The assertion that a woman's garment was found on the body, though often repeated, has been authoritatively denied; and of the whole mysterious aflhir nothing is certain but the petty chief, in whose subjugation to British autho-1 death of a brave, scientific, and energetic olficer. than an armed neutrality, resting on a precarious basis. The next event in the administration of Lord Dalhousie was the deposition of Ali Morad, the only remaining Ameer of Sinde, from the position of a dependent prince, to that of an ordinary subject holding a large jaghire. The death of Rajah Ragojee of Nagpoor or Berar (the successor of Appa Sahib), in December, 1853, without issue or male heir, was followed by the unop osed annexation of the principality to ritish India. In Hyderabad (the Deccan), certain portions of territory were surrendered about the same time by the Nizam to the British government, and the revenues of the districts thus obtained are to be applied to the reduction of the heavy out standing debt, and the maintenance of the stipulated military contingent. Beside these troops the Nizam lavishes sums, ill-spared from revenues which probably do not largely exceed a million sterling, in the maintenance of a turbulent armed force of Arab, Patan, and Rohilla mercenaries, --the terror of surrounding districts, but especially of the more peaceful of his own subjects. In Oude, the progress of annexation will probably not long be stayed. The notorious misgovernment which has prevailed in that kingdom, under successive rulers, and its general and undisputed disorganisation, produced a distinct intimation from Lord Auckland, in..

The vendors only rought into camp small quantities at a time, and were allowed to prosecute this illegal calling until gerous ordeal to which society is now subjected. To aid them in this righteous cause, by cheering encouragement, should be the object of leaders and enlighteners of public opinion at home and abroad. But this will not be promoted by considering gold as an unalloyed evil, and treating those who are obtaining it from the bowels of the earth as a degraded class of our fellow-subjects. Unfortunately, this feeling towards the diggers began to prevail after the first burst of excitement was over, in 1852: their useful occupation was oflicially considered by some merely as a means for gathering money into the government treasury. The licensing system was pushed to an extreme; store-keepers, schoolmasters, doctors, parsons, and lawyers, were obliged to take out licenses, --even a carter, looking for his bullocks in the bush, was fined 5 for being without a 305'. permit. The commissioners' staff and police, in white and blue uniforms, bedizened with lace, booted and spurred, and mounted a la militaire, looked on the miners with contempt--treated them with great harshness, and, in several instances, very brutally.

In one noted case the poliee pulled down several tents and huts in the night, on the suspicion of grog being within them, ' and the inmates, men and women, were turned into the open air. On this occasion, compensation..
