The interior of the building, which contains the tomb of this far-famed conqueror, is about twenty-four feet in length by fourteen in breadth. The tomb itself is of polished white marble, and of the usual Mahomedan shape. The inscription on it gives the date of the Monarch’s death A.H. 421, or A.D. 1005. At each end is a wooden post adorned with peacock’s feathers, supporting a silken canopy of pale blue, variegated with gaudy colours, but now faded and in a tattered condition. Upon the white washed walls are written distichs in Arabic and Persian. Priests are daily in attendance reading the Koran in honour of the illustrious dead. All sorts of votive offerings are hung up and spread out on the wall: among them is the preserved skin of a large tiger. The door, said to be made of sandal wood, and to be that brought by Mahmood from the Hindoo Temple of Somnath in Kattywar, when he sacked and desecrated that shrine, is in panels, carved and well joined. Each half is formed of two folds hinged together. In height it is about fourteen feet, and the entire width nine. This is the relic which the Sikh Chieftain Runjeet Sing so much coveted as to wish to make its restoration a condition to his affording aid to the cause of Shah Shoojau, but that Monarch replying that his compliance with the demand would disgrace in the eyes of his nation, the request was not insisted on. It has now, however, been brought to India under orders from the Governor General, Lord Ellenborough, by Major General Sir William Nott’s force, as a record of the triumph of the British arms, and the humiliation of the Afghans. It is to be restored to the Temple whence it was originally taken. KHAN SHEEREEN KHAN-The Juwansheer tribe of Kuzzilbashes occupies a separate quarter of the city of Cabul, called the Chansoul, which contains nearly two thousand five hundred families within its walls. Their Chief, Khan Sheereen Khan not considering the camp of Shah Shoojau with two thousand of his clan. So long as the King’s authority was acknowledged throughout the country, his tribe remained steadfast in their allegiance, but as their small numbers necessitate them to succumb to the paramount power, the successes of the insurgent Chiefs forced them to join their ranks. Kjan Sheereen Khan was present at the conference held by hem with Sir William Macnaughton to treat for the evacuation of the country by the British troops, but was not permitted to attend when his murder was decided on. On the renewal of negotiations subsequent to that melancholy event, this Chieftain was allotted twenty thousand pounds out of the sum required by the insurgents for escorting the force as far as Peshawur. After the murder of King, Pronce Futteh Jung established himself in the Bala Hissar, but was, ere long, forced to give up a tower of that citadel to each of the contending tribes. Khan Sheereen held one on the part of the Kyzzilbashes. At this time, in association with the more moderate party, he endeavoured to open a negotiation with General Sir George Pollock for the liberation of the prisoners, but the defeat of his opponents by Akbar Khan obliging the Kuzzilbashes to acknowledge his authority, put an end to their influence. On the day of the arrival of the British force in Kabul, seven hundred Kuzzilbash horsemen marched towards Bameean under Sir R. Shakspear to their rescue, and the General reports that to the active co-operation of Khan Sheereen Khan, and others of his clan, their escape from captivity may be in a great measure attributed. HAJEE KHAN KAUKER-Taj Mahomed Khan, more generally known as Hajee Khan, belongs to the Kauker tribe of Afghans, near neighbours to the Beeloochees to the south eastward. A soldier of fortune, he was originally in the service of a follower of the Khan of Kelat, then in that of Nuwab Jubbar Khan, and having brought himself to notice during the struggles of the Barukzye brothers for supremacy, became an adherent of Sher dil Khan, one of the Sirdars of Candahar. But the influence of the Kuzzilbash faction in Cabul, being favour of Dost Mahomed Khan, the Hajee justly concluded that he would succeed in establishing himself in power; and being aware of the determination of his brethren to seize and blind their most formidable rival, he determined on founding a claim to his gratitude, and accordingly warned Dost Mahomed by a sign to retire when he was about to enter the apartment, where his fate would have been sealed. To avoid accompanying the Candahar Chiefs when quitted Cabul, he retired to a shrine, and assumed the garb of a religious mendicant, avowing his determination to renounce the world, but no sooner had they left the city than the persuasions of Dost Mahomed to assist him with his advice prevailed, and the district of Bameean was conferred on him as a reward. The consummate treachery by which he inveigled into his power and murdered the Huzzareh Chief of that country rendered his ultimate intentions suspicious to Dost Mahomed himself, and intimation of this feeling on the part of his chief reached the Jajee, in doubt of the reception he might meet with should he place himself in his power, he deemed it prudent ot retire to Koondooz, but after remaining there for some time with Moorad Beg, he himself decided on returning to Kabul. On his arrival, the Umeer at once dismissed him his service, and he was in consequence driven to seek employment under Peshawur Chiefs. Their fortunes declining on the capture of that city by the Sikhs, he once more joined Dost Mahomed, but unable to recover his last position, he proceeded to Candahar, where notwithstanding his faithless conduct on a former occasion, he was honorably received by the Sirdars. In their employ he remained until the advance of a British force induced him to proffer his allegiance to Shah Shoojau, and he was by that monarch ennobled by the title of Nusseerood Dowla and a large estate at the same time bestowed on him. During the halt of the army at Candahr, he intrigued with the Giljee Chiefs to ensure himself in case of a reverse, but after the capture of Guznee, he expressed himself so hostile to Dost Mahomed that it was supposed he would gladly complete the ruin of a man he apparently so much detested. Under this impression he was ordered to accompany a small party of British officers under Major Outram, sent in pursuit of the flying Umeer, but his backwardness and duplicity plainly shewed he had no intention of allowing his former chief to be captured. For his treachery on this occasion, the king placed him in confinement and afterwards banished him to Honoostan. Late events have induced the Indian government to determine on the release of all the Affghan prisoners, and Jajee Khan willthus have an opportunity of again entering the political arena, but wether the good fortune which has hitherto befriended him throughout his long career of perfidy and dissimulation will still attend him, may be doubted.
