cholera began to abate; and the heavy rains which fell in the beginning of September contributed to increase the salubrity of the atmosphere. The number of carcasses brought down by the swollen river is described as presenting a horrible sight: some were floating about, others cast on the bank a prey to dogs and carrion birds. Some of the public writers have hinted the possibility of the sick Hindus being occasionally sacrificed to the superstitions of their brethren, by being brought to the Ganges before life was extinct: we trust this conjecture is groundless.

At Benares, the excessive heat and absence of rain produced similar effects. The sickness in the city has been most extensive, so much so, as to produce a panic amongst the natives. At Ghazeepoor and Chunar they have suffered greatly, as well as at Futtyghur.

STATE OF THE CALCUTTA PRESS.

Contentions still rage amongst the editors of the Calcutta papers. Since the affair between Mr. Macnaghten and Mr. Greenlaw, these gentlemen have seceded from the editorship of their respective papers. The duration of the Hurkaru (with which the Scotsman is now incorporated) is undertaken by Mr. Dickens, a gentleman of the Calcutta bar. The John Bull is ostensibly edited by Mr. Meiklejohn, brother-in-law of Dr. Bryce, a principal proprietor of that paper. Mr. Dickens and Dr. Bryce appear to have been previously friends; but soon after the former became editor, terms of reproach and recrimination passed between the two papers, and Mr. Dickens called Mr. Meiklejohn to the field, where he received his antagonist's fire, and discharged his own pistol in the air. This meeting, so far from quieting discord, exasperated former animosities. Dr. Bryce was charged with suffering, and, in fact, encouraging his relation to take up, in this unchristian manner, a quarrel not his own, since it originated in some obnoxious reflexions upon Dr. B.

This imputation the reverend gentleman has disproved. The subject has deluged the various prints with polemical articles, evincing a state of angry feeling at Calcutta, which it is lamentable to perceive its press is rather inclined to exasperate than allay.

MUSSULMAN INSOLENCE.

The following is a specimen of Mussulman insolence, and will shew at once to what length these people will go when unrestrained:

At the village of Bauspool the people brought out on the 26th instant, being the last day of the Mohurrum, their gowarrah, on which was stuck two effigies of the

magistrate, as may be supposed, for they were given out to be such, of the Baraset magistrate, in which zillah the village is situated. He is represented as with his aumlabs and sheristadar receiving a petition. One of the witnesses, an European, is standing before the magistrate fainting at the judges severe reprimand. On the second effigy the judge is represented quite in a different attitude receiving an order from the Court of Appeal to reverse his sentence, and to punish the petitioners: visages of the difference of situation of parties are also pourtrayed. In these visages

one of the parties is running away; the whole of this insulting scene, reflecting on the Mofussil Court and its proceedings, was actually carried through a number of villages, and even to the Thannah, where it was greeted with a due share of applause. Whether this will hereafter be noticed remains to be seen; but if such scenes are suffered with impunity, it must be evident that the situation of the officers of justice cannot be enviable. In this case the malice goes much further than the mere mockery of the simple transaction to which they must have intended their allusions. The magistrate and his officers are here held up to the ridicule of an infuriated mob, whilst the orders are also held up in a such a form of caricature, as to create in the minds of these ignorant persons nothing but contempt of that authority which should be our pride to uphold. A British magistrate painted in effigy, and his orders carried about as a subject of contempt!!! Baunspole is in Hobrah Thannah, or else very close to it, and the allusion to the disturbances in that neighbourhood too contemptible to notice. The Sheristadar of the court is strongly suspected to be at the bottom of this act.Beng. Hurk. Sept 1.

CIVIL ANNUITY FUND.

We are credibly informed, that a notice will be published (under the authority of the Government and of the Committee for the Civil Service Annuity Fund), to acquaint the subscribers, that a general meeting of the subscribers for the purpose of electing five managers, will be held at the Town Hall on Saturday, the 1st of October

next.

Also, we understand, it is in the contemplation of the Government (at the suggestion of the Committee) to recommend to the indulgent consideration of the Court of Directors the case of all individuals who may be precluded by ill health, from continuing in this country for the full period required by the regulations, for a reduced grade of annuity, calculated with reference to the period they have resided in the country, and without any specific limitation of time. In all cases, however, it will be expected that the certificates of health,

health, and other rules to be observed, shall be so strict and particular in all their stipulations, as to prevent all possibility of this very humane and liberal indulgence being perverted. The Honourable the Court of Directors will likewise, it is said, be solicited to permit that the terms of students passed at Hertford college after the age of 17, and not exceeding 19, may be considered equivalent to actual residence in India, and to form a part of the quali

fication for the benefits of the furlough and annuity provisions.-India Gaz.

EAST INDIA SUGAR MEETING.

We are glad to hear that a meeting of the merchants interested in the growth of, and trade in East India sugars, has lately been held here, and a committee formed to communicate with the association at home, having the same object in view.— Cal. John Bull.

BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.

The Tenth Report of this Institution contains evidence of great good effected, and at the same time a serious complaint of want of funds. The managers have been obliged to relinquish the school at Serampore. Those at Dacca and Chittagong still continue, and the two schools at Cal. cutta. In the latter, at the close of 1824, the number of children in the school for boys amounted to 161, and the number of children in that for girls was 96, forming, in the whole, a total of 257. Of these, sixteen were descended from British parents, either on one or both sides; ninetyfive were Portuguese; three were Armenians; twenty-one, Hindoos; six, Mussulmans; ten, Chinese; and four Malay youths. Thus the Institution is still, as it has been from the beginning, an asylum in which youth of all nations and all religions may take refuge; and while no condition is imposed on them beside those of regular attendance and quiet behaviour, they have an opportunity of obtaining that knowledge which may open to them the path to useful life.

INDIAN GENEROSITY.

On Thursday last, the 23d instant, the funeral rites of the late Moha Raja Ranichunder Roy Bahadoor were celebrated; on which occasion an immense multitude of beggars collected from different quarters, and received ample donations. Among other deeds of charity and goodness we may observe, that a respectable Goshy, who had a debt of 900 rupees, had been invited to attend on the occasion of the celebration, and was accordingly coming to appear before the assembly. His creditor knowing, that such an opportunity would happen, had previously procured a warrant from the Supreme Court, and had

him seized on the way by the sheriff's officer. The son of the Moha Rajah, Rajah Rajnarain Roy Bahadoor, being informed of this circumstance, immediately sent the above sum (900 rupees), and thus freed the Goshy from the debt.Kowmoody, June 25.

LOAN FROM OUDE.

Majesty the King of Oude has come forWe are given to understand that his ward with a loan to the Supreme Government of one crore of rupees, and that thirty lacks are daily looked for from Madras-Beng. Hurk. Aug. 13.

CHOWRINGHEE THEATRE.

The annual meeting took place on Saturday morning. We have only space to say, that the theatre is neither to be sold nor shut up. The former managers were re-elected, and they are authorized to effect such arrangements as they may deem best, for the purpose of getting up performances during the ensuing year.-Beng. Hurk. July 19.

LOSS OF THE LOTUs.

The East India Company's transport, Lotus, Capt. Brown, was lost upon the Saugor sand, on the 22d of July. The vessel left Rangoon on the 5th with some troops, and several British officers as passengers. Some of the crew escaped from the wreck in the boats, leaving the rest of the crew and passengers on the wreck. Part of them made their escape on a raft, and the remainder were taken off by the Mermaid brig.

MISREPRESENTATION.

The following paragraph is from the Calcutta John Bull of March 21. We have kept it back in expectation of seeing the statement explained or denied. As it has appeared in an English paper (the Telescope) without being, to our knowledge, impugned, we think it incumbent upon us to publish it.

"We have at length received the September number of the Oriental Herald.We find that its motto is again changed; whether from any conviction that the former one was inappropriate we do not know; but since so very much attention is bestowed on the title-page, we cannot but wonder that an error, connected, too, with its conductor, of some importance, should be suffered to have remained so long. We allude to the "Member of the Asiatic Society in Bengal." Why Mr. Buckingham chooses to continue this designation is best known to himself. He is not, and was not for some period previously to his departure for England, a member of that body. It is sufficient to

make
