nd within which, on the 17th of February,1739, the conqueror. Nadir Shah, sat from sunrise to mid-day, to witness the massacre ofthe inhabitants, which did not cease until near 100,000 persons had fallen by the swordsof his infuriated soldiery. The palace itself, as seen from a distance, exhibited a clusterof pinnacles and towers, many of which have been shaken to the ground, through theterrible occurrences that have followed the insane attempt to re-establish the empire ofthe Moguls upon the ruin of that of England, in Hindoostan. Through the gate shownin the engraving, the infatuated descendant of a worn-out dynasty, on the 12th of May,1857, after suffering himself to be proclaimed king of Hindoostan, issued, surrounded byOriental pomp; and, amidst the salutes of artillery and the clangour of martial instru-ments, proceeded through the city, to receive the homage of his subjects, and to animatethem in their treacherous and rebellious war against the English.
