It is recomended that pro cesses known to some manafectareira, by which large quantities of sise can be incorporated with the warp without diffusion of dust or moisture, should be generally applied, and that botter meats of ventilation should be adopted.
A new-letter from Cabal mentions that party of Russian officers lately made sono aperi- ments at Chorjul on the Oxus, with a view to staining whether the river which was frozen over at the time--would bear guns and cavalry, The report, true or not, evidently found its way to Cabul in this shape; as it le quntat by two different writers. Another piece of Cabul news worth noticing is that the ameer's gun foundry in basily at work. It was recently inspected by the Ameer, who is said to have given's khilat to the hend wiatres. Judging from other reports the Ameer is somewhat disquieted by the ramours he hears regarding the intrigue and intentione of Sirdar Ayub Khan and of Mahouted Hasan Khon. Some Birdars, who are suspected of bring in correspondanes with Ayub or Hasan Khan, are to be deported, it is said, to Peshawar.
