The Indian Troops

The remainder of the 3rd Rajputs came up from Woosung yesterday morning and went into the camp at Yangtsepou near the Waterworks. The regimental baggage was promptly away, but during the day a large quantity of firewood and rice was on the wharf waiting for wheelbarrow coolies, a sergeant and a party of followers looking after the transport of the stuff. Two of the 3rd Baluchis are now detailed every day for sentry duty at the British Cunsulate. Large numbers of the troops come out on leave each day, and they seem to have caused a considerable increase of business amongst the Broadway shop. keepers.
