MISCELLANEOUS.

ADDRESS TO THE LATE MR. ADAM.

The following is a copy of the address of the British residents of this presidency to the late Mr. Adam, which was forwarded to England by the Asia. The signatures attached to it are those of persons of the first eminence and respectability. This document, therefore, is a pretty strong indication of the genuine feelings entertained at Calcutta of this lamented gentleman's worth, talents, and public services.

"Hon. Sir: Under the influence of the same feelings which induced us, on the late occasion of your retirement from the high office of Governor-General of the British possessions in India, to testify our sense of the principles which had directed your 2 G 2 conduct

By Government Orders, dated 18th August 1825, the public officers at the presidencies, native courts, &c., are au thorized to receive subscriptions to a new five per cent. loan, in cash, bills for arrears of salary, bills of exchange on the public treasuries, treasury notes, and all authorized public demands. The notes of this loan are not to be paid off before 26th April 1832, nor after that date without a previous notice of three months. Proprietors of notes of this loan to receive payment of interest, at their option, in cash, or bills (not less than £25) on home, at 2s. 6d. per sicca rupee, payable twelve months after date.

SICKNESS.

It appears from the Calcutta papers, that great sickness has prevailed at that presidency, and at Benares, and other places, arising chiefly from the excessive heat of the weather. The cholera morbus has made dreadful ravages amongst the natives. Up to the 1st September, it was computed that 6,000 Hindus and Musulmans had been carried off. The epidemic raged most amongst the latter class; the dissipation, fatigue, and exposure attending the celebration of the Mohurrum festival, may probably, it is imagined, account for this circumstance.

With respect to the character of the disorder, it was at first considered to be only of the sporadic sort; but subsequently, it seems to have become spasmodic and epidemic. Europeans were principally attacked by a smart fever, quickly running its course, and rarely exhibiting serious symptoms. The natives were assailed first by the fever, on the subsidence of which, cholera supervened, and proved fatal. The districts in Calcutta where the disorder raged (for some spots were unvisited) were those remarkable for filth, luxuriant vegetation, and stagnant tanks.
