AND REGISTER OF INTELLIGENCE FOR BRITISH & FOREIGN INDIA, CHINA, & ALL PARTS OF THE EAST. PUBLISHED ON THE ARRIVAL OF EACH OVERLAND MAIL. No. 32.] LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1845. CONTENTS. ERN NEWS 369 Miscellaneous Intelligence.... 371 Civil, Military, and Medical Establishments... 372 Murder revealed 372 Shipping Intelligence . SUMMARY & REVIEW OF EASTERN NEWS. THE news brought by the present mail is not very important. That from Scinde seems to be most exciting. There, in despite of Sir CHARLES NAPIER and his proclamations, some of the robber tribes have had the audacity again to be troublesome. It seems that they have been put down and do not know it; for they have been sweeping part of the country quite clear of every thing moveable, after the fashion of their forefathers from time immemorial, and possibly in the manner which their descendants will follow for a period, the extent of which even Sir CHARLES NAPIER Would not be able to fix. The Murree tribe have, however, in this instance, been too much for the [PRICE 18. marauders, for, having mustered in strength, they overtook and defeated them, and, what was more to the purpose, recovered the booty. The robber tribe, driven by the stern justice of Sir CHARLES NAPIER to expatriation, were on their march to the spot destined for their future residence. According to the report of the local press, their appearance was very far from respectable. The Punjab does not furnish its usual quota of crime and trouble. GOLAB SINGH and the Ranee seem to be earnestly engaged in a settlement of accounts, an operation in many cases of a ticklish character, and at Lahore it may be imagined peculiarly likely to be interrupted by differences of opinion. Statements of the debtor and creditor items are given in the Indian papers, but as, perhaps, they would not be more interesting and scarcely more intelligible than those exhibited in the memorable history of John Bull between that bluff and blunt personage and his Dutch ally, neither amusement nor information would be afforded by quoting them. There is one claim upon which GOLAB SINGH appears to have received credit upon the general balance which may lead to consequences not to be guessed at during a state of peace. The amount is eighteen lacs of rupees, said to have been a portion of SUCHET SINGH's estate, deposited in the British treasury at Ferozepore, and which GOLAB SINGH holds it to be the duty of the government of Lahore to recover from its European neighbour. It is rumoured, indeed, that the Sikh durbar have forwarded a demand for the surrender of the property in question, backed by an assurance that the soldiery were determined to take it by force, if withheld (supposing they were able); expressing in true diplomatic style great regret at the unpleasant nature of this communication, but adding, and certainly with truth, that if the troops were bent upon making the experiment they must have their way, as the government of Lahore had no power to restrain them.
