WE clip the following counter-statement to that regarding the spiking of the guns of the Gackwar of Baroda, from the columns of an Indian papor

Reports have been ourront in Baroda for some time past that the British Govern ment had ordered the destruction of all the Gaskwar's gube, except a few, which wore to be kept for saluting purposes; and that the order had been rigorously carried out. Those who are well versed in Baroda affair will easily believe that large number of the most extraordinary "gupa" alustered round such an interesting story. The most amusing one is that the young Gaekwarpro tested to Mr Melvill against such anwar- rantable action on the part of the Fara mount Power. Mr Molvill, it said, shock his head and his stick at the young back war, and saidum, bôte chota ay bat ke waste." "Be good, my child; ask, no questions, and we will tell you so flbs." However amusing and interesting such stories may be, there is one feature about them which is particularly gratifying; they are not trus The only foundation for them is that, amongst the Gaekwar's artillery, there were six old useless cannon, and Sir T. Madhara Rao ordered them to be broken up for the sake of the metal. Those who do not know the difference between an effective and a non-effective weapon natur- ally concluded the step was the beginning of the end of the Baroda army,

In addition to that band of 5,217, we find that 8,121 are registered as 'off canteen. All this shows earnest and successful working."

The train was composed of five ballust-trucks, earsted and other wise properly furnished for the occasion. The distance traversed extended over about five miles, and the trip was throughly enjoyed. At a meeting of Treaty Consule held on the 22nd May, the Chairman mentioned that he had received the report of the Dutch Engineers, on the Woosung bar, in English. The papers are very bulky.

For the last day or two I have been keeping mouth and ears open, making enquiries, and listening to reports; but the only result o far has been the consumption of a larger amount of dust than usual, which may tea certain extent le a benefaction to the rest of the species by diminishing the amount of dust in circulation, but is hardly condusive to personal comfort.
