thieves, at the head of whom was our late worthy ally the Seik Maharajah, Runjeet Singh, he in _his_ turn, was effectually cleaned out; and, in particular, his silk "wipe," in which he had wrapped up the famous _Koh-i-noor_, or _summit of glory_, was cleanly forked out of his fob by the artful dodger, old Runjeet, himself. Here was a pleasant commentary on the adage of "_Diamond cut Diamond_." The jewels, originally stolen by Ahmed, were passed on (as in our game of _Hunt the Slipper_) from thief to thief, until at least forty thieves had possessed them for a few weeks or months. All the forty are now dead; and at this moment the _summit of glory_, possibly never once worn by one of them, is a derelict in the hands of the latest murderer at Lahore, of course attracting by its light all hands towards his interesting throat. [1] "_Dillecrout_."--This is the traditional dish of royalty at our English coronation banquet in Westminster Hall. We have thus sketched a slender memoir for the leading family of saints amongst the Edinburgh reviewer's holy Suddozyes. Great must have been their sanctity amongst the Affghans. The reader will judge for himself whether that _aureola_, or supernatural glory about their heads, was altogether sufficient to guarantee the throne of King Soojah. And it must not be quite forgotten, that on the roll-call of legitimacy Penultimate Soojah did not stand next for promotion. Prince Caumraum, who commanded at Herat, stood before him equally in active qualities, and in precedence of title; for he was the son of Mahmood. The sons of Zemaun had a still higher precedency.
