Cholera has broken out at Aden and in L.ihej, and a requisition has been made to the Bombay Government for three more Assistant-Surgeons. A famine prevails in the provinces of Lahej, Mocha, and Hodeida, in Arabia, and the British authorities at Aden have requested the Bombay Government to send promptly a ship-load of wheat to Aden to meet the requirements of the people at that place. The Secretary of State for India has sanctioned the payment- of a gratuity of 1000 rupees to every military oEScer of less than fifteen yeara' service who may receive a certificate of high proficiency from the College of Fort William, or the college of other presidencies. The heat at Calcutta has been intense, and in the courts two Judges and several barristers have been prostrated by its effects-. The Lahore Chronicle says :— ln Pangi, on the Upper Chenab, one hundred and eight people were killed by an avalanche or landslip, which dammed up the river to eighty feet deep for some time during April. Twenty fatal cases of Cholera have occured iv- the 3rd Dragoon Guards, a&
Ahmedmjggur. Several deaths from the same fatal disease have also taken place in B. Battery, 18th Brigade R. A., at Baroda ; but, by removing the troops, the cholera has abated. Great floods have occurred at Serinuggur, Cashmere ; the European visitors have been obliged to take to their boats, which they have converted into arks. r l he ruler of Lhokund has been killed by Kupchat Tartars, and the country made over to the Khan of Bokhara. A correspondent at the Bhootan frontier alleges that a fresh civil war is about to break out in that country, in consequence of a disagreement between the Deb Rajah and Tengso Penlow. The fighting with the British has been deferred until the next cold season.
