Amongst the most striking subjects of these extracts, are the following:-" Malversations in office." "On the Emperor's putting off his journey to Tartary.” "Forbidding the possession of fire-arms to the common people." "Petition from a sick and aged minister, to retire permanently from office." Forging the current coin." Plundering inroad of Kassacks or Cossacks, on the Russian frontier," &c.

"The civil and military officers of Chih-le ought to fashion their hearts by mine. Let them punish and repel every thing that is irregular and bad; let them advance and encourage the worthy and capable. Every measure that is profitable for the people, let them pursue with all their hearts; let them extend the principle of soothing and compassionating, in order that my little children may be saved from the extremity of distress, and from being scattered abroad without a resource: thus seconding my sincere wish to cherish them in proportion to the necessity of the times."

Mr. Davis observes, in a note: "The above is a curious specimen of the cant by which the empire of China is, in a great measure, governed.”

January 21.-The Society met this day, at the usual hour; Henry T. Colebrooke, Esq., Director, in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed.

Frederick Leman Rogers, Esq., was elected a Resident Member, and Professor William Freytag, a Foreign Member of the Society.

The reading of a paper, by Capt. James Delamaine, entitled " Of the Srawacs or Laity of the Jains," was commenced..

Capt. D. considers the Srawacs to be the only considerable remnant of the Arhatas in India. As, however, they principally follow the trade of Banyas, most of the twelve brits (vratas) refer to their particular calling, nor does the author think that they formed a part of the older Jain institutes, as they are quite unsuitable to any purpose of government. They have no longer the distinction of castes; but they do not hesitate to employ the services of the Brahmans at marriages, &c. Capt. D. gives an account of the following sects, the Dravér, the Jápalya, the Káshta Sankis, the Nichik Sankis, the Teú Pant'hís, and the Tárana Pant'his, all belonging to the Banya class. The continuation of this paper was deferred to the next meeting of the Society, on Feb. 4th. The second part of the first volume of the Transactions of the Society was published this day, and copies were distributed to the members. Erratum.-In the report of the Proceedings of the Society for December 17, Robert Birks Pitman, Esq., was erroneously designated Lieut. Col.

AUGMENTATION TO THE HORSE ARTILLERY.

Head-Quarters, Calcutta, July 8, 1825. -The Commander-in-chief is pleased to direct, in pursuance of G. O. by Government of the 24th ult., that two new troops of horse artillery be formed at Meerut, from the 1st inst. These will be numbered the

Sd troop of the 2d horse brigade, and the 2d troop of the 3d horse brigade.

The commandant of artillery will give orders for the non-commissioned officers and bombardiers required for the new troops being draughted in due proportions from the other European troops of horse artillery, and for their places being supplied by promotion in the usual manner. The supernumerary non-commissioned officers and bombardiers for the horse artillery, in Maj. Whish's detachment, are to be included in the number posted to the new troops, and will thus be brought on the effective strength.

Lieut. Col. Stark, commanding the horse artillery at Meerut, will likewise direct such number of gunners to be removed to the new troops as he may consider expedient. They will be completed from the men draughted from the companies of foot artillery by G. O. of the 25th ult., and by the detachment proceeding to the Upper Provinces, under Maj. Whish.

Lieut. Col. Stark will complete the new troops with horses from the supernumerary remount horses, now attached to the horse artillery. The usual establishments of all descriptions to be hired from the 1st inst.

SIR DAVID OCHTERLONY.

Political Department, July 28, 1825. The right hon. the Governor-General in Council has learnt, with great sorrow, the demise of Maj. Gen. Sir David Ochterlony, resident in Malwah and Rajpootana.

[ocr errors]

This melancholy event took place on the morning of the 15th inst. at Meerut, whither he had proceeded for the benefit of change of air.

On the eminent military services of Maj. Gen. Sir David Ochterlony it would be superfluous to dilate: they have been acknowledged in terms of the highest praise by successive governments; they justly earned a special and substantial reward from the Hon. East-India Company; they have been recognized with expressions of admiration and applause by the British Parliament; and they have been honoured with signal marks of the approbation of his sovereign.

With the name of Sir David Ochterlony are associated many of the proudest recollections of the Bengal army, and to the renown of splendid achievements he added, by the attainment of the highest honours of the Military Order of the Bath, the singular felicity of opening to his gallant companions an access to those tokens of

royal favour which are the dearest objects,

of a soldier's ambition.

The diplomatic qualifications of Sir David Ochterlony were not less conspicuous than his military talents. To an admirably vigorous intellect, and consum

mate address, he united the essential requisites of an intimate knowledge of the native character, language, and manners.' The confidence which the government reposed in an individual gifted with such rare endowments was evinced by the high and responsible situations which he succes. sively filled, and the duties of which he discharged with eminent ability and advantage to the public interests.

As an especial testimony of the high respect in which the character and services of Maj. Gen. Sir David Ochterlony are held, and as a public demonstration of sorrow for his demise, the Governor-Ge neral in Council is pleased to direct that minute guns, to the number of sixtyeight, corresponding with his age, be fired this evening at sunset, from the ramparts of Fort William.

COURT-MARTIAL.

I ASSIST. SURG. J. A. D. WATSON. Head-Quarters, Calcutta, Aug. 17, 1825. -At an European general court-martial held at Cawnpore, on Tuesday the 12th of July 1825, of which Lieut. Col. Murray, C. B., H.M.'s 16th Lancers, is president, Assist.surg. John Alex. Davidson Watson, of the 32d regt. N.I., was arraigned upon the undermentioned charges, viz.

"That Mr. Assist.surg. John Alex. Davidson Watson, on being ordered, about the 14th of May last, to proceed in medical charge of the light wing of the 11th regt. N.I., on its march from Allahabad to Lucknow, reported himself sick, thereby subjecting himself to the report of a medical committee, that there was not found any existing active disease to interfere with his, Mr. Assist.surg. Watson's, performing the ordinary duties of his profession, and caus ing the wing of the 11th regt. to proceed on its route without a proper medical offi.. cer, such conduct being a disgraceful evasion of public duty, and highly prejudicial to the service.'

Upon which charge the court came to the following decision:

Finding of the Court." The court, having deliberately weighed all the evidence adduced in support of the charge, together with what the prisoner has brought forward in defence, is of opinion, that he is guilty of the charge, with exception of the words on being ordered, about the 14th May last, to proceed in medical charge of the left wing of the 11th regt. N.I., on its march from Allahabad to Lucknow,' in the former, part of the count, and of the word disgraceful,' in the latter part of the count, of which the court acquits him.'

[ocr errors]

Sentence." The court, having found the prisoner guilty of so much of the charge; viz. of having reported himself sick, thereby subjecting himself to the report of a medical committee, that there was not found any existing active disease to interfere with his, Mr. Assist.surg. Watson's, performing the ordinary duties of his profession, and causing the wing of the 11th regt. to proceed on its route without a proper medical officer, such conduct being an evasion of public duty, and highly prejudicial to the service, which being in breach of the Articles of War, the court doth sentence him, Assist.surg. John Alex. Davidson Watson, to be reprimanded by His Exc. the Commander-in-chief."

Disapproved.
