Allahabad, 10th May. News has reached Srinagar through natire officer, who was ant shooting in Tadakh, and bis followers. He appears to have been caught by the heavy weather in the village of Sokdes; where he was compelled to stop for four daye by incessant snow.

THE FAMING.

Simin, 6th May. During the work the numbers on relief works in the North-Western Proriness show an increase of 100,000). . "Tho Central Provinier come next with an advance of half a lakh, while Mudras had 40.000 more than the pr vious week. Bombay alone shows a subatantial decrease of 30,000, while the Punjab, Bomar, Hyderabad, Contral India, nad Burma all have a slight increase in the numbers under relief.

So great has boon the dowend for Europeans for the ampervision of relief works that the indent for two hundred non-commissioned offlor re- cantly taade by the Government of Bengal has only bean shls to be partially met from the British army; and it has now been acronyèl to furnish about seventy native officers to complete the number. They will be dopated without dalay from various regīments,"
