We do not like this telegram at all :—it is

from the second edition of the Times of Friday, and comes from its own Calcutta correspondent, who probably gives the official version. "A vague panic exists among Europeans and Bengalese in Allahabad. The 4th Native Infantry is the cause of apprehension. General Vaughan has brought more troops from Cawnpore, and the magistrate has issued a circular reassuring the residents. The panic is believed to be unfounded, but there are many bad characters in Allahabad." We do not more troops in India against bad cha- racters, or move them at all without clear necessity. How comes Allahabad, the key of Northern India, the city which commands both the Ganges and the Jumna, to be without European troops ?
