The individual whose pleasure or business leads him to traverse the route treated of, will find irreparable disappointment and irretrievable inconvenience if lacking the information contained in its pages, for the author is not only well acquainted with his subject, but has carefully studied the wants and difficulties of the race of travellers of either sex."-Times, Jan. 20, 1845.

HISTORY of the PUNJAB, and of the Rise, Progress,

and Present Condition of the Sect and Nation of the Sikhs, including a full Account of the recent Military Operations on the Banks of the Sutledge, and the Proclamations and Treaties of the Governor-General of India. By THOMAS THORNTON, Esq.

"The work gives all the information, on the History and Topography of the Punjab, that could be desired; and in the fulness and completeness of its details, and the diligence with which information has been collected from every available source, constitutes this the best and most authentic work extant on the important country of which it treats."-Britannia, May 23, 1846.

"These volumes should be in the library of every one who feels an interest in the recent military exploits of our Army of the Sutledge, or in our future political relations of the Punjab. The work has, indeed, this double value,it is valuable for present and permanent reference. Independently, however, from any temporary interest which these volumes may derive from the recent events in the Punjab, they present much curious matter to the historical student, as well with regard to the religious character of the sect from which has sprung the warlike race of modern Sikhs, as with respect to the character and policy of Runjeet Singh."-John Bull, June 6, 1846.

"It is an authentic work, and its statements are perfectly trustworthy. Indeed, it will be necessary for every one having a library to add this to the historical department; while the miscellaneous reader will find a powerful claim in its novel and stirring information."-Cheltenham Journal.

Thus relieving gentlemen who do pay from being taxed for those who do not pay.

TOOPING of the SHOULDERS and CONTRACTION of the CHEST are entirely prevented, and gently and effectually removed in Youth, and Ladies and Gentlemen, by the occasional use of the IMPROVED ELASTIC CHEST EXPANDER, which is light, simple, easily applied, either above or beneath the dress, and worn without any uncomfortable constraint or impediment to exercise. To young persons especially it is highly beneficial, immediately producing an evident improvement in the figure, and tending greatly to prevent the incursion of pulmonary diseases; whilst to the invalid, and those much engaged in sedentary pusuits, such as reading or studying, working, drawing, or music, it is found to be invaluable, as it expands the chest and affords a great support to the back. It is made in Silk; and can be forwarded, per post, by Mr. ALFRED BINYON, Sole Manufacturer and Proprietor, No. 40, Tavistock Street, Covent Garden, London; or full particulars, with prices and mode of measurement, on receipt of a postage stamp.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Unprincipled indivi

duals, for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, vend the most spurious compounds under the names of "Macassar Oil," Kalydor," "Odonto," &c; some under the implied sanction of Royalty, &c. &c. They copy the labels, advertisements, and testimonials (substituting fictitious names and addresses for the real) of the original preparations. It is therefore highly necessary to see that the word "ROWLAND'S" is on the wrapper of each article.-All others are FRAUDULENT IMITATIONS!!

ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL.-The singular virtues of this successful invention for restoring, improving, and beautifying the Human Hair, are too well known and appreciated to need comment. The very fact of its having obtained the especial patronage of her Majesty the Queen, H.R.H. Prince Albert, the whole of the Royal Family, and of every Court in the civilized world, and the high esteem in which it is universally held, together with the numerous testimonials constantly received of its eff cacy, afford the best and surest proof of its merits.-Price 3s. 6d.; 7s.; family bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d., and double that size, 21s. per bottle. CAUTION.-On the wrapper of each bottle of the genuine article are the words, in Two lines, ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, All others are fraudulent counterfeits.

ROWLAND'S KALYDOR.-An Oriental Balsamic Preparation of singular efficacy in thoroughly purifying the Skin of all pimples, spots, blotches, freckles, tan, and discolorations, producing a healthy freshness and transparency of complexion, and a softness and delicacy of the hands, arms, and neck. Its purifying and refreshing properties have obtained the exclusive patronage of the COURT and the Royal Family of Great Britain, as well as of the principal Courts of Europe, and the most distinguished nobility and gentry of all civilized nations.

Beware of spurious "KALYDORS," containing mineral astrigents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and which, by their repellent action, endanger health. Each bottle of the genuine has the words "ROWLAND'S KALYDOR" on the wrapper, and "A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, Hatton Garden, London," is also engraved (by desire of the Hon. Commissioners) on the Government Stamp affixed on each.-Price 4s. 6d. and 8s. 6d. per bottle.

ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or PEARL DENTIFRICE, a white Powder for the Teeth, compounded of the choicest and most "recherché ingredients of the Oriental Herbal," of inestimable virtue for preserving and beautifying the Teeth and strengthening the Gums. Its truly efficient and fragrant aromatic properties have obtained its selection by the Court and Royal Family of Great Britain, and the Sovereigns and Nobility throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once announces the favour in which it is universally held.-Price 2s. 9d, per box.

CAUTION. To protect the public from fraud, the Government Stamp (as on the "KALYDOR") is affixed on each box.

The genuine articles are sold by the Proprietors, and by every respectable Perfumer and Chemist throughout the kingdom.

ON THE 7TH OF JANUARY, 1847, WAS PUBLISHED,

THE FIRST NUMBER OF A NEW JOURNAL, OF A NEW JOURNAL,

ENTITLED

2 engu 13 3 4THE HOME NEWS, *

A SUMMARY OF EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE FOR INDIA AND THE COLONIES.

The "HOME NEWS" will be regularly issued on the 7th and 24th of each month, in time for despatch by the Indian Mail, vià Marseilles; all intelligence of interest for the reader in India being brought down to the latest hour.

In appearance, the "HOME NEWS" will resemble the "Spectator;" in substance, it will contain all that the Journals, already in existence and addressed to India, usually embrace, with many new and important features. Its size and proportions have been adopted as the best calculated for binding, portability, and easy reference. This feature will also influence its internal arrangement, so that it may gradually become an authentic record of European events for the civil and military community of British India and the Colonies.

Messrs. GRINDLAY and Co., in soliciting the attention of the public to this new medium for communicating to friends abroad the latest and most interesting news from home, venture, with some confidence, to express a hope that the talent they have secured for its conduct, the peculiar resources at their own command, and their practical knowledge of the information most acceptable to the Indian public,-especially as it regards the Civil and Military Services,-will give the "HOME NEWS," at once, a place in the first rank among the Journals for India.

The Proprietors, however, very much prefer a practical appeal to the proof afforded in the first number of their proposed Newspaper, to any elaborate anticipation of its claims to patronage.

Parties in England desiring to have the "HOME News" forwarded regularly, without further trouble on their part, to friends in India, are requested to apply to Messrs. GRINDLAY and Co., 16, Cornhill, and 8, St. Martin's Place, Charing Cross; or to make such application through any respectable newsman in town or country; or at the office of the "HOME NEWS," Green Arbour Court, Old Bailey.

The price of the "HOME NEWS" will be 9d. for each copy, or 18s. per annum, payable in advance. Advertisements received at the usual charges.

ence of the awe inspired by the presence of the stranger conquerors, it has been a bloodless one. In our last Summary, it was intimated that the notorious LALL SINGH was suspected of having intrigued with EMAM-00-DEEN (the leader of the outbreak in Cashmir) to defeat the claim of GHOLAB SINGH to that country. The faithlessness of the WUZEER has now been proved by the evidence of EMAM-00-DEEN himself, at a solemn investigation conducted in Mr. CURRIE's tent, in the presence of several British officers and Sikh chiefs. EMAM-00-DEEN not only repeated his charge publicly, and in the presence of the accused, but produced three letters in corroboration, the authenticity of one of which was admitted by the accused party, though that of the others was denied. The guilt of the WUZEER appearing perfectly clear, it was intimated, on the part of the British Government, that should a convicted traitor continue to exercise the chief power, it would be impossible for that Government to hold intercourse with that of Lahore. The result was, that the WUZEER made a forced descent from the pinnacle which he had so long disgraced, and was committed to the keeping of the British authorities, who, it is to be hoped, will take good care of him. He left Lahore on the 13th December, under an escort, comprising the 27th N.I., a squadron of the 2nd irregular horse, and two nine-pounder guns.

When the WUZEER was displaced, it became an obvious question, how is the government to be carried on? Ad interim it was committed to a council of chiefs, and after a proportion of equivocation and delay, which, for Orientals, may be considered a very moderate one, it was arranged, on the request of the Sikh negotiation, that during the minority of the MAHARAJAH (now about seven years old), the government should be exercised by a council of chiefs, all of them, however, to be under the surveillance and control of a British Resident. To uphold this government in safety and efficiency, ten thousand British troops are to remain in Lahore permanently (that is at least until the MAHARAJAH shall attain majority), and payment is to be made for this assistance at the rate of nearly a Quarter of a million sterling per annum,

And what became of the RANEE throughout these proceedings? She whose affections (such as they were) were centred upon the deposed and banished WUZEER-how did she bear the pangs of a separation destined, in all probability, to be eternal? It would seem that she bore them badly enough - but great as was her grief, it was nothing to that of LALL SINGH, who his misfortunes in a manner very unlike an ancient Roman. His demeanour is represented as abject, and his
