THE Rangoon Times learns from a well Informed correspondent in India, that it is generally rumoured that the Carewitch was fired at, whilst al Jeypore, by a Turcoman.

THE news of an English mining · prospector having been murdered in the Interior of Jambie, has been officially confirmed. He turns out to be an engineer named Houston Walker, and is said to have lost his life in the Batangharie district, where the people are known to be fanatically bextile to all that is European, and have hitherto remained independent. So obstractive are they that a Dutch scientific expedition, a few years back, vainly sought, by every peaceable means, to pass through their
