INDIA , AFFGHANISTAN , AND CHIKA . The extraordinary express in anticipation of the Indian mail to the 1 st of December , has arriTtd , and we bare letters and papers to that date . The intelligence which they comnranieate , althcngh not of an exciting nature , ia bBU highly interesting , in particular as landing "to develop * the policy about to be adopted , not only in relation to the ASsbariB of Cabal , tot also in regard to the inhabitanta vt the districts bordering on the riTer Indus , and eren toTrsrda the Sikhs in the Punjaub .
The rtxnm of all the British troops through the hostile defiles of the Khyber was folly concluded on ths 7 th of Up-sembei . Tbe first division , under General Pollock . - succeeded in tffecthjg thfeir march without much difficulty . Tha second , commanded by General M ^ Casiill , was not equally fortunate , in con-Eeqnenee , as report Bta'ts , of the neglect of crowning thB beightB oyer a most dangerou 3 part t-f the define . Tbe plnnder-loviag mountaineers were on the watch , and , finding this division embarrassed in its moTtments near Ali MnsJ : d , during tbe night of the 3 rd , wade an attack on the baggage , a considerable quantity of which is said to have falit-n into their hanria Daring the Ekirmishing , two oEcera , Lieutenant Christie , of ths Artillery , and Ensign Nicholson , of the 30 th Bengal Native Infantry , were killed , as well as upwards of Gns-fcnnirrtl Srp ijs killed and wounded , fcesides a nnmbsr of csmp f < . « iiu «« x £ .

TViUi this exception netting of c-jnstqnsnce appears" to have occurred in the return of the troops'from Jsilalabed to Pesfeawur , through th * most difficult deSU-s in Asia . The third division under Gentrai Nott . which formed the last of the array , st Jnrurcod , tbe frontier station of the Siih territory , on the € ; h . This division , through its march from Candab 32 to GhEZ-- » j aiid to Cabal , and through tbe passes from Ci ! 'Ul , has earned for itself vreil-merited praisa . Kasionr asstita tkat feelings of jttiousy existed between two of the Coznmandrrs of the gallant army , who had . bj their coEjoinedeffjr £ S , re-fcsUtbiisht-d tbe reputation of the British arms in Central Asia ; ths cause of those feelings was not known to the public .
The retreat of the British from Cahnl was preceded p y the destruction of the celebrated b&zsar of that capital . Its destruction -is stated to Lave been cansed 07 its having been ths principal theatre of the indignities with which the b * sy of tbe British Envoy , Sir W . fl . Macna ^ fcten . w& 3 neated , snbseqneai to his murder by Akh'iar K ? . an . This assassin svpears to ha ? e lost bis inSs&nce in that cc-nntry , for tka murder of the Envoy and his treachery practised towards tha British troops in January last year > avin 2 deprived him tf all chance of being Tfeccgnized &a the chief , he hid retired to Biik . as if in disgrace . Ths principal leaders of ths tribes around Cibul bave acknowledged as their Sovertian Schah Poors , a son of Schah Sooj ^ h , for whoss sake i ; ia stated that tbe British G % BciaU agreed to leave the Bala Hissar intact , in order to allow him that citadtJ as a place of refuge in case cf danger Schah Poora iB described asa youtfe , sixteen years old , whose appearance and maai . eTs h 3 < l caiced him itiends amonz the tribes .
His f rotcer , Farteh Jusg , who seemed at first lnch ' ce to try bia chance of r » anaintng Sovereign of Cabul , had withdrawn at the earae time as the B .-ivish troops to the protection of the Company ' s dominions . It may appear sineular that two sons of Schah Sfvjab . should now hold tie sov-srement of tha two chief placf s in AfFg . " inistan , viz ., Sufter Jang at Caariahar , and Shah Poora at CabuL Tee great problem is , bow long tbey , wvhont any aid from abroad , will be able to mala tain thtfr nr = envifcd position among the restless tribes . Jtriialabad , All Mosjid , and tbe other forts through the Ktvbsr , have been demolished , in order to prove to the KnyberrbfcS " that the British forces 3 Te fully able to
not on ^ ferce their passes , but to destroy their strong holds , and to retire at their own option back to India . -Trophies of various kinds had been brought f > oia Gain !; among tkem w ^ n > more than twenty cannons ; one of tbe latter , a large brass gun , having been found too unwieldy , was left on the road by General M ' Caskill , but it waa afterwards burst by Gsptain Thomas acd the IrrtiTriTs nndcr his orders who formed the rear guard . The dtstruction of this can , which it was feared wonld be replaced in , trimBpb in Cabnl , was considered as a great service , pavticutuly as it was said that lord EUenborough bad at one time expressed a desire to have it in India
The destrnction of the Bsrtar at Catul , and of & mosque bnilt this year near it , as a special monument of the triumph of the Afghans over the " Infidels" of Icdta . produced a series of lugubrious bomflicB from certain jocrnajs ihtre , the sympathies of which have been long enilsicw in favour of Akbbar Kttan and the Afikharis . Tcose homilies , mixed up with the most ouiragccus fx . ggeratiocs of what took place at Istalif snd during tbe retreat , are likely to produce echoes in places where the txsct ratcre < --f the ticts is unknown . In Isuia th- y ar 8 locked tipon as the produce of thftse " txtraoj diEary patriots" who lovo to find every fault in the acts of their own countrymen , and to praise the enrmy as alone possessing honour or honesty .

Tee pc-liticai sger . cies established in Scicde appoiited by Lord Auckland , had been abruptly terminated by an GT * ler of the present Governor- G-neral , who has plsced the whole management cf those districts us-ter tbe cere o ? -Gcntral Sir ( Jharles Kapier , now commanding the Bt-nioay army stationed there . There had , according to rumour , been some further stipulations urged upon tbe Anieers of Hyderabad , to which they seemed unwilling to assent . Great activity prevailed in tbe communications between that General and the Government cf Bombay . The removal of Major Ontram , to ¦ whose talents , activity , and appropriate measures waa due much of the tranquillity -that latterly prevailed in Seinde , -was regarded as calculated to produce a course of expensive operations . Her Mijestys 41 st Regiment wa « abont to embark for Europe from Kurrachee , for which purpose transports had been ordered from Bombay .
It was stated that ibe Governor-General bad some measures in contemplation which , were calculated to lessen ths pressure on the finances of tha Indian Government in the extraordinary expenditure . There had been a heavy laH of rain at Bombay on the l 5 : b of November , which nnnsnal and nnseasonable event liad-csBsed the cholera to rage among the tstives for several days .

been doomed , had piodnced a strict examination into tbe facts on the part of the underwriters . Some traces of & conspiracy for the purpose had been discovered . In the interior of India tranquillity prevailed , with the exception of tbe mountainous districts of Buodelkund , to quiet which there was a considerable force collecting ia that direction .
CHINA . The news from China , extends to the 13 $ of O ; t It was said that a dipper had brought news to a later date of that month , that ail -was in stalu quo wfcile waiting for the ratification of the treaty by the Queen , and that opium had risen in price . There iB an observation made by our correspondent , in his postscript , to which it may be proper to animaflvtrt . It is that the pillage and destruction
committed in the Tallies of the mountains during the retreat frcm Gabul , and in tbe dwellings of the most notorious robbera of Asia , and amidst the scenes of the bloody treachery of last January , are not to be exclusively attributed to the British troops . The Sikhs were there also , and they had received too many lessons from the Aflghsns uot to feel satisfaction in the retaliation . Tha horrible accusation of burning gome wounded men by setting fire to their clothes is &iid to be a gross exaggeration .

their jusa 5 s could be seen . Finding tbemsalves checked on the right , they tried th 9 l 8 ft and rear of tha column , and annoyed them much , 1 ' tilling some six , and wounding an officer and about el " Ten men . However , the guns were safely deposited . ' camp at a quarter past ten o ' clock , and all the bagga ^ e » with tho exception of that destroyed when the cattlt ffcll on the nmreb . " The advanca guard had bo . rot the fort of Kooderbux Khas , the Ttzeen chief , t tari \ g the day , and the two 18-pounders received froa Majw General Nott were burst , thu 3 affording more a » ttle for ths transport of tha other guns ; indeed but f ° r this the captured guns could not have been taken on . tho following day . On the 15 th , the 1 st division , t onsisting of the 1 st and 2 nd br-sades , uuder Mejor- Cbneral Polfock ,
marched to Kuttv . rgun ? , -whilst tb , 9 2 nd division , consisting of the 4 th brigade , with that portion of Major-General N . itfs force before me . itioired , under Major-General MCaskill , marched at a late how to Leti Baba ( one march ) , thus separating the two divisions by one day ' s march , and General Nott ' a column took up their ground at Ttzaen ihe same day , having suffered in the pass rather more than ttw 4 th brigade , canaed is a greas measure , I fancy , by their being unacquainted with the country and neglect in crowning the heights soon enough . The marchps to Leh Biba , Kutturgunsiv and Jugdulluk , on the 15 th , 16 th , an 4 17 th , were accomplished with bn \ littie annoyance . The eneray followed up the rearguard each day , an < 1 made several attempts upon tha baxgage of , the 2 nd division , but
without success . The 1 st division marched through tho Jugdullnk pass on the 17 th without firing a shot . On tbe 18 th , however , when the 2 nd division attempted it , the most decided attack yet evinced was sustained by them ; rarely have the Afghans shown more courage or daring than was displayed by tho Gbiizits on that day . Sword in ; hand they more than oj'ce rushed towar-. la our retiring parties , when recalled from the heights by the rwr-guard , but each time a she I shot thrown from the puns placed in a position most judiciously by Brigadier Monte . ith at the top of ths pasa , sent the GhiiZies to the right about and saved our men .

ANOTHER SERIOUS FIRE AT LIVERPOOL . On Thursday evening , about twenty minutes past five o ' clock , a lire was discovered to have broken out in the extensive premises of Messrs Foster and Stewart , architects and builders , Lawton-street , Liverpool , ihe building is situated on tho west Bide ol their large yard , which extends to Newington ; is in the form of a large warehouse of four stories high from the ground , and extends lengthwise , from north to south , apparently seventy to eighiy yards , occupying , almost immediately behind thebouf . es and other buildings on the east side of Law . ofi-strvet , nearly the whole distance between
the Arcade and Cropper street . There was aiso the large yard on the east filled with logs of square timber on one side , and containing , on the other , a great f-tock of deal boards mounted on horses . To add to the danger , the premises and yard are closely bounded oa both s-ides by buildings , Law ion-street on the west , Cropper-street on the south . Luckily , however , the firo was confined almost wholly to the premises in winch it broke out ,, and hi which it was found impossible to restrain its ravages . But , however , for the great and wcll-dircotod exertions ol ihe firt-poiice , there is no doubt but it would have swept avvay a large breadth of valuable propertycros 5 inK Ek-ld-street in the southeasterly direction .
The a urm was received at the fire station about twenty minutes or a quir . t r bff >> re s- ' ix , and engine ? , with a strong body of thofire-policr and others . wt ; re on the ground ia a few minutes . In a lew minuios no fewer than nine engiues were present . In we believe less than half an hour after the fire was discovered , the whole building , it may be said , \ va . s internally in a blaze . The roof soon fell in p iecemeal ; and so rapid wn .- , the combustion that in ten minuUe after th <» fire a ' ann was heard at the top of Lord-stm > t , the wIjo . ' h atmoppl * re in that direction was illuminatedand the flames rose over the
, height of the Lyceum and tho Waterloo Il >< el intervening , a height of occasionally sixty or seventy feet . Tn * principal a . id direct inl < t to approach the fire was Fairclough-Btreet , leading from Ranelaghstreet into Lawion-street , and terminating almopt at the immediate scene—there being only a row of smaller buildings on tho other side of Lavrton-street ( which is narrow ) and a yard , oi' no gi > at brendih , between ihe spec ator and the fire . Tno only and main approach was by a gate or cart way 011 he south , and close to the cfiice of Messrs . Foster and Stewart .
The fire went ou with great rapidity , presenting from time to time varied but still fearful appearances . Portions of the bruk- work alfO foH occasionally but re uc'antly . showing rnat thu prprtises w « re as good as "briek-work and timber could make them . " ' ' : Mr . Rushton , the police magistrate , was f avly on the i round , as well as the mayor and f- ' tv .-ra ! officiaJ gentlemen . They all rendered efficient service . The inhabitants of part of Lawt-jn-street , and nearly ali those in Cropper-street , in tho immediate vicinity of the fire , removed tlu-ir furniture in alarm at an early period , and much loss and breakage necessarily occurred . The timber in the yard on the east of ihe building was , for the most part , preserved . From this ( ihe Newingtoti ei . d ) ihe scene was throughout fearful and magnificent .
About hslf-past six o'clock a portion of the south gable end of the building fell with a crash towards rbe Arcade , which had before been considered in danger , and at the bottom of which an engine ^ vas stationed . An alarm was given to the parties within a moment before by an inspector of police , otherwise the fatality would have b * en great . A mass of materiaia . fell upon the roof of the Arcade , just above the Crescent ( covered with tflas .- ) , hear the lower end , and crushed in the roof aud demolished seven of the shops . Several person ? , it waa at first supposed , were cru .-hed beneath the ruins , which extended alone the Arcade from fifty to sixty feet of its length .
Mr . Rus-hton . Mr . Whitty , and many other gentlemen , police-officers , &c ., wtre soon on the spot , and for a short time were heurd the cries of a man beneath their leet . All turned to work to remove the wreck with which be was covered , al-though a fearful portion of the gable wall with the fire raging within was close to iht"iu , and in a few minutes they succeedid in extricating the poor man . Mr . Whitty was m « st active in the i . ood work ; also firemen 191 and 137 . He was found nst to be seriously injured , he having fallen under a beam of the roof of the Arcade , which broke off the otherwise fatal pressure of the materials . His name is William Wilson , aud ho was carried home . -
All the shopkeepers in the Arcade had moved their goeds—some to a di&tanco , others merely across , or mto adjoining yards—with , in bulky articles , much damage . Much of tbe fine furniture , < fec , in the lower shops , was left in the Crescent , under the glass roof , and must have suffered injury from dust , water , &c . About half-past eight at night it might be said the fire had done its worst . That side of the premises next to Lawton-street presented then a most perilous appeaeance—so much so that all but the firemen ¦ were ordered out of tbe yard , the mayor aud some few others excepted . By nine o ' clock all waa got under , so far as further danger was apprehended . It is not ascertained how the fire originated , or in what particular part of the building . We have not learned the loss . '
Eight years ago tbe premises of Messrs . Foster and Stewart were the scene of a similar devastation ; the » r extensive workshops , Ac , having been oon-Bumed by fire , on the 20 th December , 1834 . On that occasion the destruction of the premises was complete iu a few hours , and from what transpired afterwards , it appeared that that frightful conflagration was not the result of accident . The value of the tools oeloaging to Messrs . Forster aad Stewart ' s workmen was not less than £ 2 , 000 ; to meet which a haadsonw subscription waa raised .

It stated that the writer had wrote to the Homo Secretary on the subject to which the lefcier alluded .
and which contained eharges against a Mr . Johnston , J . P . of Walton Komse , who , it appears is one of the visiting magistrates to the gaol : " Mr .

Johnston happened to be going out of the prison at the time when a waiter irom the Bush was bringing this lunsheon in and he then not on ' y sent tho turak-ey to examine what we had got upon the trav , but
remonstrated wirb the Governor , for allowing debtors to partake , of luncheons with their friends , and requested that it might hot be repeated . Mr . Johnston had also told a poor debtor chat hajshould not beguile away his viine by playing upon his flute ; and that he ( Mr . Johnston ) had , upon several occasions , actually without knocking at the door , intruded upon the privacy of unfortunate debtors , who had their wives with them at tfu > time .

Horrible Mukdkb and Suicide in London . — Anoiher of these most appalling cases ooeurred on Saturday night , when a man named James Giles , at No . 10 Huuiingdon-strtut , Hoxton , cut tho throats of two of his infant children , and afterwards his own . One of the children , however , the youngest , lie did not succeed iu destroying , although the woaiiJs inflicted are of bo dangerous and dreadful a character , that it in fVared the poor little sufferer cannot SHi * - vive . Tho father and murderer was a neede nuker by trade of good character and steady habits , and of affectionate demeanour towards his family ; but for the la't twelve months consumption had wasted his framo and prevented him following his occupation , wh ; eh had reduced himself and his family to absolute poverty . Those circumstances seemed ! to have preysd upon the mind of the unhappy man , and driven him to this horrible act . The family connoted of ' ( Giles , his wife , and four children , but he seems to have
only con ' . emplaied the destruction of tho two youngest . He accompli-hed his object by seuoing the two eldest boys , of fifteen and thirteen years ot age respectively , to a place of amusement , called the Britannia Saloon , at tho same time desiring his wif < : to accompany and take care of them , and then clopiag the doors and fastening tbe windows , he commenced , the horrible butch' -ry . When the unfortunate wile returned , and , as-nstanco being procured , an entrance was forced , the two children were found ly { n # on the bed with their throats cut , while the father of the intents was lying on hie right side on theifloor , with his head well nigh severod from his body , and a razor was found lying Beside him . He wa ^ s still warm , but quite dead , . tfhere does not appear to have been any other motive to induce the commission of so terrible a crime than the dread which ] Giles always seemed to entertain that at his death his children would come to beggary .

LoNDr ; . N Corn Exchange , Monda y , Jan . 9 th . — We have to report the arrival of a very limited supply of English Wheat up to our market since this day se ' nnifibt , coastwit-e as well as by land carriage , and Bample , the qualiiy of which wa 3 tolerably good . In consequence of the small quantity <) n the stands , and the large attendance ot both London and country buyers , the demand for all des' -riptiona of both red and white was bv-sk , at an advanco ou last week ' s prices of from la . to 2 s . por quarter , and a good clearance was speedily effected b y the factors . We had a fair quantity of fine foreign Wheat offering , tho best of which I sold
readily at a rise of 2 s ., while other jkinds were lsper qua't ^ r dearer than on Monday last . There was more inquiry for bonded parcels , and rather enhanced rates were paid for the superior descriptions . The quantity of Barlty on offer was comparatively email . The best Malting p ' aicels were 2 a , grinding and distilling sorts , Is per quarter higher , with a fine sale . The Malt trade was rather firm , and a trifling advance was obtained for the best Ware . Ail kinds of Oats met a flue sale , and 6 d per quarter more money was paid for the best potato sort ? . Beth Beans aud Peas were quite as dear , with a fair inquiry . The Flour tradfr was t tsady . bat we hare no advance to not : co in price .
Potato Mahkets . —Although the arrivals of Potatoes have not been to Bay great , since Monday last , we have little or no improvement to notice in the demand , and our quotations remain as follow ;—Scotch reds , 45 s to Stii per ton j Yorfe ditto ,- 55 s to 60 s ; Devons , 45 to 50 s ; Kent and Essex whites , 3 fts to 45 s ; Wisbeach , 35 s to 453 ; Jersey and Guernsey blues , 35 d to 40 d ; Yorkshire ( Prince Regents , 45 a to 50 a .

London , Smithfield , Monday , Jan . 8 . —As is invariably the case at thi 3 season of the year , which may be considered- as the commencement of that from Norfolk for Beasts , ths arrivals of stock to this market from our eastern counties are weekly on the increase , and , so . far as tb * y aave progressed , we are enabled to report t ' avouiabiy of their general condition and quality . From the northern grazing districts , viz . Lincolnshire , Leicestershire , Northamjtonghire , &o ., the supplies are gradually decreasing , and such will ba the case for some weeks to come . In to-day's market the supply of Beasts was , the time of yoar considered , tolerably good , and fully adequate to int ? et tho wants of the dealers ' , whose attendance was rath r numerous . The primest Scots ,
homebredsrunts , &e ., produced inmost transactions prices quite equal to those noted on this day fortnight , or from 4 ^ 2 d to 43 64 per . 81 bs . ; bat the demand forth © middling and inferior qualities was stow , and previous rates were with difficulty supported . We bad about 200 store barrens , cows , and heifers on gal « , which went o 2 at low figures . Notwithstanding " the weather was moro favourable to slaughtering , tbe mutton trade , owing to tie immense numbers on 3 ale viz ., about 30 , 000 , was extremely inanimate , iind the quotiuons ' declined < £ > itei 2 i per 8 ib ? ., the very primeat oJd Downs not exceeding 4 s 4 d . There were about 3 , 000 Snrnod out unsold an the close of business . Abom 50 Lambs were in the market , bufc they commanded scarcely any attention : hence , we are un-able togive accurate rates for them . Calvea were in limited supply , and sluggish inquiry for
them . Rather more business was doing in Pig 3 but , no advance tocfc place in th * ir value , with about 200 by aea , from Dublin and Cork . From our northern districts we received about 1 . 500 short-horns and runts ; from Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex and Cambridgeshire , 600 Scots , home-breds , and runts ; irom the western and midland counties , 400 Hereforde , Davons , Durham , runts and liish beasts from other parts of EngFand , ISO of various breeds from Aberdeen , 70 horned and polled Scots , but ohitfly tho latter ; from Ireland , via Liverpool , 50 beasts ; the remaindcr-of the supply beiog derived from the neighbourhood of the Metropolis . As we have anticipated , the imports of stock from abroad , both in London and aX the out-ports , have been very scanty , we having here to-day only four oxen from Spain , in miserable condition ; and we see no prospect whatever of their being larger for some time to
oomo . Borough Hop Market . —Notwithstanding the supply of most kinds of Hops on offer is somewhat extensive for the time of year , the general inquiry is firm , and previous rates aro fully supported . East Kent in pockety £ 5 10 a to £ 6 12 ^; Mid Kents , do , £ 5 5 s to £ 6 2 s ; do in ba ^ , £ i lfr < to to £ r > 10 s ; > ussex , £ i to £ 5 5 s ; F . vmhani ' , £ 883 to £ 10 10 , ; Old Hops , £ 3 to £ 4 10 s . H ' ool Markets . —The imports of wool into the P'jrt of London , since this day so ' nnight , have been rather ov \ r 1 , 000 packages , 214 being from Smyrna , 750 from Hobart Tosva . 50 irom Coas'antiuople , and 30 from Hamburgh . The mark-it for the bust qualities of English and foreign wool is firm , and previous rates arc steadily supported , with full average supplies on oflV . - ,
Tallow . —There is no new feature in the market . Tho demand throughout the last week has boen better , Tko quotation in our statement is the exact price of the day , bat for January , February , or March , it may be noted at 47 i 31 . Of ua » v Tallow , for the last thres months , there are sellers at 45 a to 46 j 3 J . Town Tillow 47 a 6 d nett cash .

( From ihe Agra Vkhbar J Vt& have great pleasure in laying before our readers the following interesting and succinct account of the march between Cabul and Jeilalabad : — Camp Jeilalabad , 26 th October , 1842 . On the 12 th instant tbe whole British force then encamp-d in tbe neighbourhood of the city , marched to Boodkbak , accompanied 07 the Sbabzsda Futteh Ju-g , and most of the Hindoos late resident of CabuL Here arrangements were made for dividing the troops into two columns , by taking the 2 d and 16 th R ? girnent Native Infantry , with Capt Blood ' s battery of nineponnders , from the force under Major-General Nott , and attaching them to that with M&jor-General Pollock , who moved fo ~ raid with his divisions through
tbe Kb . ord Cabnl Pass the following morning . Major-G < snen 7 Said had taken a route by the ( Gost Pundurrah ) Pasa to ; b . e light of tbe Kuooid Cabul with his light brigEde tbe day previous , so es to turn the Khoord CaJiul Pas * and crown the heights from the further side , where tbey vero more accessible . This route ( Gust Pnndurrah ) can only be adopted by troops in light marciihig order , with yaboos , being impracticable for camels or heavily laden animals , and if tho Affghans had Biade any disposition to oppose out passage through Khoord Cabul , the detour taken by tha 1 st brigade weald have been of material advantage ; as it was , however , not a shot -was fired , ror enemy seen , and we all encamped at Kboord Cabul on the 13 tb , some arriving there rather late , from the delay in getting onr immense train of fcaegace through the narrow
pass . " On the 14 ih we passed over the Huft Kotnl ( the scene of onr former glonons fight ) , and thiousih the Tezeen Pass , encamping in the valley . The 4 th brigade , nnder Brigadier Monteath , CJB ., formad the rearguard , and did not effect their march as scatheless as yesterday . Owing to the badness of tie trallockB yoked to the captured guns , very great delay -was occasioned , sad finally the bullocks were taken out , and the soldifets of her Majesty's 31 st regiment supplied their
place ; the labour "was excessive , and they did not arrive at the narrow pass leading to the Tezeen valley nctil dark . The enemy , taking advantage of this , commenced a sharp fire into the column , acd masses of boggage collected there , causing great coRfusion amongst the latter . Parties were immediately seat op to th 9 heights on the right to dislodge these marauders , the brigadiers , staff-officers , leading the party , T ) Ut owing to tha darkneBS , little could be done bej-ond checking their descents into the paai ; nothing bat . the flash oi
