      INDIA , jJ FFGBAKJSI'AN , AiND CHINA . The extraordinary express in anticipation of tbe Indian mail to the 1 st of Desember . h ? a arrived , and we have letteiS and papers to tbat date . The inteUigence which they commnnicate , althongh not or an exciting nature , iB still highly interest ' ng , ii particular as tending to develops the policy about to be adopted , not only in relation to the Affghans of Catml , iut also in regard to the inhabitants c £ the riistricts bordering on thfr river Indus ^ and even towrcda the Sikhs in the Punjaub .

      The TCturn of all the British troops through tbe hostile denies of the Khyber was fully concluded on the 7 th of November . The first division , under General Pollock , succeeded in effecting their march withont much difficulty . The secona , commanded by General' M'Caakill , was not equally fortunate , in conseqnence , as report states , of the neglect of crowning the heights over a most dangerous part cf the defile . The plunder-loving mountaineers were on the watch , and , "finding this division embarrassed in its movements near Ali Mnsjjd , during the night of the 3 rd , made an attack on the baggage , a considerable quantity of which is said to have fallen into their hands . During the skirmishing , two officers . Lieutenant Christie , of the Artillery , and Ensign Nicholson , of the 30 th Bengal Native Infantry , were killed , as well as upwards of one hundred Sepoys killed and wounded , bejides a number of camp follower ! . Two cannon were

      s ? so taken by them , but « ne of tbe guns was retaken on the following morning , as well as the carriage of tbe other , the Ehyberrees having found means of concealing the gun itself . With this exception n « thing of consequence appears to have occurred in the return of the troops from Jellalabad to PeaBawur , through the most difflcul ^ defiles in Asia . The third division under General Nott , which formed the last of tbe army , at Jumropd , the frontier station of the Sikh territory , on the 6 th . This division , through its march from Candabar to Ghnznea and to Cabul , and through the passes from Cabul , has earned for itself well-merited praise . Rumour asserts that feelings of jealousy existed between two of the Command era of the gallant army , who had , by their conjoined efforts , re-established the reputation of Ihe British arms in Central Asia ; the cause of those feelings was not known to the pnblic .

      The retreat of the British from Cabnl was preceded by the destruction of the celebrated baziar of that capitaL Its destruction is stated to have been caused by its having bsen the principal theatre of the indignities with which the b » 4 j of the British Envoy , Sir W . H . Macnaghten , was tteated , subsequent to his murder by Aihbar Khan . This assassin appears to nave lost his influence in that country , for tie murder of the Envoy and his treachery practised towards the British troops in January last year having deprived him of all chance of bsing recognized as Vhc chief , he had retired to Balk , as if in disgrace . The principal leaders of the tribes around Cabul have acknowledged as their Sovereign Schah Poors , a son of Schah Soojah , tor whose tate it

      is stated that the British Generals agreed to leave the Bala HiBsar intact , in order to allow him that citadel as a place of refuge in case of danger . Schah Poora is described as a youth , sixteen years old , whose appearance and manners had gained him friends among the tribes His brother , Fatten Jung , who seemed at first inclined to tiy his . chance of remaining Sovereign of Cabul , had withdrawn at the ssme time as the British troops to the -protection of the Company ' s dominions . It may appear singular tbat two sons of Schah Soojab should now hold the government of the two chief places in Afghanistan , viz ., Softer Jung at Candakar , and Shah Poora at Cabnl The great problem is , how long they , without any aid from abroad , will be able to maintain their snenvied position among the restless tribes .

      JeHalabad , Ali Mnj-jid , and the other forts through the Kbyber , have been demolished , in order to prove to tbe Khyberrees that the British forces are fnlly able not only to ferce their passes , but to destroy their strong holds , and ta retire at their own option back to India . Trophies of various kinds had been brought from Cabul ; among them were more than twenty cannons ; one of the latter , a large brass gun , having been found too unwieldy , was left on the road by General M'Caskill , but it was afterwards burst by Captain Thomas and the Irregulars under bis orders who formed the rear guard . The destruction of this gun , which it was feared would be replaced in triumph in Cabul , was considered as a great service , paiti cularly as it was said that Lord Ellenborough had at one time expressed a desire to have it in India .

      The destruction of tbe Baziar at Cabul , and of a moequs built this year near it , as a special monument of the triumph of the Affg > i « TiB over the " Infidels" India , had-produced a series of lugubrious homilies from certain journals there , the sympathies of which have been long enlisted in favour of Akhbar Khan and tbe ^ -ffgTwna . Those homilies , mixed up with the most outrageous exaggerations of what took plsce at Istalif and during the retreat , are likely to produce echoes in places where the exact Bature of tbe facts is unknown . In India they are looked npon as tbe produce of- those " extraordinary patriots" who love to find every fault in the acts of their own countrymen , and to praite the enemy as alone possessing honour or honesty . - The British troops were nnder ordera to march through the Sikh dominion in s > x brigades ; the flr ? t was to more on the lOrh of November . Humours

      were current of the probability of certain arrangements being formed between the Sikh Sovereign Sheie Singh and the Governor-General , whereby the former was to agree to accept the protection of the British Government , in order to preserve beresfter bis throne and his life . The Governor-General , with his body-guard ; had reached Mumehmajra on the 14 th of November , in his progress to Fertzopore , where / ties were to be given on the arrival of tbe troops from Cabul , and near which place it was expected that interviews would take place between his Lordship and the M&hamjah , &s Shere Singh is eemmonly called The Commandei-in-Chief was also on his - » ay from Simla to Ferezopore .

      Some apprehension appeared to have been entertained of a collision between tbe Sikhs and the British troops near Peahawnr , and positive orders had been issued to prevent any British soldier or camp follower from entering any village near the camp , and from going to Peahawnr . 'Various comments centinued to be made respecting the 'order published by Lord EUenborough declaring that all tbe AffgV ™ chiefs detained in India should be liberated , but requiring that prior to obtaining permission to retnin to their own country they should attend his Lordship ' s levee at Fertzopore . Many of those reasoners , wbo oddly enough ) ook apon Dost

      Mahommed as an injured man , simply because be bad been deprived of his ill-gotten power by the regulations of the British Government , affect to discover in this order of Lord Ellenborongh a desire to insult a fallen foe . The contrary seems much more probable , for special care was to be taken that their wives and fjinnttpn should t 3 conducted with all respect to the . frontiers of Affghaniston , whither they themselves were to be permitted to proceed as soon as tbe British army had passed the Indus . This order contains also the remarkable statement that Akhbar Kt . an , prior to the late advance of the British armies , had refused to exchange the British prisoners in his eu&tody even for his father and bis own family .

      The old clamour , although much deadened , sail existed for what is called " the restoration of Dost Hahommed to the ttirone . " This clamour , which is said to proceed from peculiar motives , is founded upon a false view of facts ; for Dost Mohommed never was more than an Ameer , or mere Prince , holding power in the absence cf the King , and was but partially recognijed by even the tribes of Cabnl ; it was therefore supposed that at the durbar ( levee ) of the Governor-General some terms would bs proposed for his consideration and acceptance , which would tend to induce Dost Mabommed to admit the superior lights of Schah SoojabVs sons to the rule of Candahar , and Cabul , and thereby contribute towards establishing some degree of tranquillity in that country . It is scarcely to be presumed that the Governor-Genera ] will st once , unhesitatingly , letlooss into that country the " strange being " who refused to accept the terms originally propossd by the British Government , and whose favourite son has since followed bJa example by the most unexampled

      atrocities . The Governor-Ganeral had not bsen unmindful of the utility of restoilng the commerce of the Indus to the nourishing state which it enjoyed , even so late as during the reign of Aurun ^ zsbse , and h » made public his intention " to station permanently a large British luree of Europeans and natives between the Sutledge itnd Murkunda , " Md also to facilitite the navigation of the Indus and the tributary livers , and to improve the state of the roads between the Sutledge and the Gjogea and Jumna . A light-honse w ?» 3 ordered to ba erected on"Mi 3 nora-point , in the neighbou-heod of Samchee .

      The political ogeneiBs established in Stinde appointed by Lord Avckland , bad been abruptly terminated by an order o-f'the present Governor-General , who has placed the wh ola management of those district ? nnder the care of Genen ^ l Sir Charies Napier , dow commanding the Bombay arniy stationed there . There had , according to rumour , tctti some further stipulations urged npon the Ameers of Hfderab&d , to which Hiey seemed unwilling to assent . Crraat activity prevailed in the communications be . we "Ui tliat Ganerpi » ndthe Government of Bombay . The removal of Major Outram , to whose talents , rstrrity , and appropriate mecsures ira * dne much of the tranquillity that latterly prevaO- ^ d in Sdnde , was regarded &s calculated to produce a course of expensive operations . Her Majesty ' s 41 stRegime"ut wts about to embark for Europe from Ktmschee , for . vbriea purpose transports had been ordered from Bombay .

      It was stated that the Governor-General hid some measures in contemplation which were calculated to lessen tbe press era on the finances of the Indian Government 4 a tbe extraordinary expenditnra There had been a heavy fall of rain at Bombay on the 15 th of Hb ' vember , ¦ which nnuro » l and unseason able event isd caused the cholera to lsge among the natives for sever *] days .

There is an observation made by our correspondent , in his postscript , to which it may be proper to animadvert . It is that the pillage and destruction

      committed in the valiies of the mountai » a dutiDg the retreat from Cabul , and in tlie dwellings of the most notorious robbers of Asia , and pmidst tbe scenes of tbe bloody treachery of last Jannary , are not to ba exclusively attributed to the British troops .

Previous to my departure from Cabul , I destroyed with gunpewder tbe grand bazaar of that city , cal ' ed tbe Chabar Chuttah ,

      built in the reign of ArnDzebo by the celebrated Ah Murdau Khan , and which may be considered to have keen the most frequented part of Cabul , and known o < 3 the grand emporium of this pait of Central Asia . The remains of the late Envoy and Minister bad be 9 n expoBed to public insult in this bazaar , and my motive in effecting its destruction has been to impress . upon the Affghans that their atrocious co duct towards a British functionary has not been suffered to pa ' -a with impunity .

      -. ( From Oit Agra Vkhbar . J We have great pleasure in laying before our readers the following interesting snd succinct account of the march between Cabul and Je'laiabad : — Camp Jellalabad , 26 th October , 1842 . On the 12 tb instant the whole British foTce then encamped in the neighbourhood of the city , marched to Boodkhak , accompanied by the Shabzada Futteh Jung , and most of the Hindoos Jate resident of Cabnl . Here arrangements were made for dividing the troops Into two columrs , by taking the 2 d and 16 th Regiment Native Infantry , with Capt . Blood ' s battety of n ' nepounders , from the force under Major-General Nott , and atrscMng them to rhat with Major-General Pollock , who moved forward with bjs divisions through

      the Khoord Cabo' Pj « sb the following morning . Major-General Splebad taken arout 3 by the iGost Pondurrah ) Pass to the right of the Kboord Cabul with his light brigade the day previous , i o as to turn the Khoord Cabul Pass snd crown the heights from the further side , where they were more accessible .

      ANOTHEil SERIOUS FIRE AT LIVERPOOL . On Thursday evening , about twenty minuteo past five o ' clock , a iire was discovered 'o have broken out in tbe extensive premises of M errors Foster and Stewart , ai-chiteots and builders , Lawton-street , Liverpool , ihe building is situated on tho west side ol tbeir large yard , which extends to NewiDgton ; is in the form of a lar&e warehouse of four stories high from the ground , and extends lengthwise , from north to south , apparently seventy to eighty yards , occupying , almost immediately behind the houses and mother buildings on the east side of Lawton-street , nearly the whole distance between the Arcade and Cropper-street . There was also the

      large yard on the east filled with logs of square timber on one side , and containing , on the other , a great stock of deal boards mounted on horbe * . To add > o the danger , the premised and yard are closely bounded on both . sides by buildings , Lawion-streot on the west , Cropper-street on the south . Luokily , however , tho fire wa 9 confined a l most wholly to the premises in which it broke out , and in which it was found impossible to restrain its ravages . But , however , for the gx-eat and well-directed exertions Of the fire-police , there is no doubt but it would have swept away a large breadth of valuable propertycrossing Bold-street in tho south-easterly direction . The alarm was received at the fire-statioo about

      twenty minutes or a quarter before six , and engines , wiih a strong body of the fire-police aud others , were on the ground in a few minutes . In a few minutes no fewer than nine engines were present . In we believe less than b ° < f an hour » fcer tbe fire was discovered , tbe whole building , it may be said , was internally in a blaze . The voof sooa fell in piecemeal ; and so rapid was the combustion that in ten minutes after the fire alarm was heard at the top of Lord-street , the whole atmosph re in that direction was illuminated , and tho flames rose over the

      height of the Lyceum and the Waterloo Hotel intervening , a height of occasionally sixty or seventy feet . The principal Bad direct inlet to approach the fire was Fairclough-street , leading from Raoeiaghstreet into Lawton-street , aud terminating almost at the immediate scene—there being only a row of smaller bnildicgs on the other side of Lawton-street ( which is narrow ) and a yard , of no great breadth , between the speciator and the fire . The only and main approach was by a gate or cart-way on . he south , and close to the office of Messrs . Fo-fer and Stewart .

      The fire went ou with great rapidity , presenting from time to time varied but still fearful appearances . Portions of ihe brick-work also fell occasionally but reluctantly , showing that the premises were as good as '' brick-work and timber could make them . " Mr . Rushton , the police magistrate , was early on the s . round , as well as the mayor and several official gentlemen . They all rendered efficient service . The inhabitants of part of Lawton-street , and nearly all those in Cropper-street , in the immediate vicinity of the fire , removed their furniture in alarm at an early period , aDd much loss aed breakage necessarily occurred . The timber in the yard on the east of ihe building was , for the most part , preserved . From this ( the Newington end ) the scene was throughout fearful and magnificent .

      About half-past six o ' clook a portion of the south gable end of the building fell with a crash towards the Arcade , which had before been considered in danger , and at the bottom of which an engine was stationed . An alarm was ; given to the parties within a moment before by an inspector of police , otherwise the fatality would have been great . A mass of materials fell upon tbe roof of the Ai cade , just abeve the Cresceut ( covered with glass ) , near the -lower end , and crashed in the roof and demolished seven of the shops . Several persons , it was at first supposed , were crushed beneath the ruins , which extended along the Arcade from fifty to sixty feet of its length , Mr . Rushton , Mr . Wbitty , and many other gentlemen , police-officers , < fec , were soon on the spot , and for a short time wore heard the cries of a man

      beneath their feet . All turned to work to remove the wreck with which he was covered , although a fearful portion of the gable wall with the fire raging within was close to them , and in a few minutes they succeeded in extricating the poor man . Mr . Whitty was most active in the good work ; also firemen i 91 and 137 . He was found n » t to be seriously injured , he having fallen under a beam of the roof of ihe Arcade , which broke off the otherwise fatal pressure of the materials . His name is William Wilson , and he wa < carried home . All . the shopkeepers ia the Arcade had moved their goods—some to a distance , others merely acroBS , or into adjoining yards—with , in bulky articles , much damage . Much of tbe fine furniture , &o ., in the lower Bbops , was left in the Crescent , under the glass roof , anu mast have suffered injury from dust , water , &o .

      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—eo much bo that all but the firemen were ^ ordered oat of the yard , the mayor and some few ' others excepted . By nme o ' clock all was got under , so far as further danger was apprehended . It is not ascertained how the fire originated , or in what particular part of tbe building . We hare not learned the loss .

      Eight years ago the premises of Messrs . Foster and Stewart were the scene of a similar devastation ; their extensive workshops , &c , having been consumed by fire , on the 20 th December , 1834 . On that occasion the destruction oftthe premises wascomplete in a few hours , and from what transpired afterwards , it appeared that , that frightful conflagration was not the result of accident . Tho value of tbe toold belonging to Messrs . Forstef aad Stewart ' s workmen was not less than £ 2 , 000 ; to meet which a handsome subscription was raised .

The steamer , we have have berfn informed , ' sa » led on Saturday oveoiug from PortUiollaen to Liverpool , laden with pigs , cows , and bvuter , and she ; had or board twenty-six persons , consuming chit fly of the crew and the pet sou * ! , o whom the cargo belonged . A heavy gale of wind having set . in , she was , about s < x o'clock , driven upon Carnarvon Bar , j ncaT the Fairway buoy , it betn << then nearly low- water . Four

      men contrived to save themselves inithe boat , and two were afterwards saved by the life-boat . The remaining twenty persons , owie £ to | the heavy sea that washed over the sleamer , perished . The two men who were saved owed the preservation of their lives to Capt . Jones , of the smack Diligence . He , on observing the signal lights of distress shown by the steamer , immediately obtained a horse , and galloped to a distanee of several miles for ] the life-boat , mustered the crew , and was in a very short time alongside the wreck . The se : t , however ! , was running so very high , that it was only by great exertions tbat the two men were saved . All the ! rest were necessarily abandoned to their melancholy fate .

      Horrible Murder a ^ d SuictDE . v London . — Another of the » e most appalling cas 6 s occurred on Saturday night , when a man named Jiimes Giles , as No . 10 , Huntingdoiustreet , Hoxton , cUt the throats of two of his infant children , and afterwards his own . One of the children , however , the yoingest , he did not succeed in destroying , although the woands inflicted are of so dangerous and dreadful a character , that it is feared the poor little sufferer cannot survive . Tho father and murderer was a needle-maker by trade of good character and steady habits , and of affectionate demeanour towards hits iainily ; but for tho last twelve month ? coriKuniption hid wasted his frame and prevented him following his occupation , which had reduced himself and his family to absolute poverty . These circumstances seemed to have preyed upon the mind of tho unhappy man , and driven him to this horrible act . The family consisted of Giles , his wife , and four ch ' tldren , bat he seems to have

      only contemplated the destruction of the two youngest . He accompli hed his object by sending the two eldest boys , of fifteen and thirteen years of age respectively , to a place of amusement , called the Britannia Saloon , at the Fa mo time desiring his wife to accompany and take care of them , and then closing the doors and fastening the windows , he commenced , the horrible butchery . When the unfortunate wife returned , and , assistance being procured , an entrance was forced , the two ch-ldren were foimd lying on the bed with their throats cut , while j the father of the infants was lying on his right side on the floor , with his head well nigh fevered from h ' ia body , anc ' a razor was found lying beside him . lie was still warm , but quite dead . There does n | ot 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 .
