neighbourhood as a public benefactor, and may do honour to its fonnder by obtaining a distinguished place among the seminaries of native education.

You are all aware, how much interest is taken by government in the instruction of the youth of this great country. In almost all branches of liberal education there is now making in Bengal a degree of progress which may bear comparison with that existing in the most civilized countries of the western world of Europe. But there is one branch of useful and scientific knowledge not yet included among the studies promoted in any of our institutions, I mean that of the civil engineer. But I am in hopes that in this branch also we may ere long be enabled to establish such means of instruction that among your children and your grand children we may find men of science and acquirements, fitting them to undertake the erection of works of beauty and durability, such as that which you now owe to the talents of our able architect, Captain Goodwyn.

I will now, Gentlemen, take my leave of you with many thanks for the gratification which you have this day afforded to me, in which no one will participate more cordially than your able and zealous magistrate, Mr. Cockburn, to whom you have now expressed your obligations for the interest which he has taken in the promotion of this useful undertaking.

MISCELLANEOUS.

REPORTED ACCIDENT TO THE GOVERNOR GENERAL.-We hear that Sir Henry Hardinge has met with an accident-a fall from his horse-by which he has injured his leg, which has obliged him to keep to his couch; but the latest letters from the same quarter do not mention the matter-so we suppose the injury is not severe.-Ibid., Feb. 10.

We are happy to hear, that the Governor General had suffered very slightly from the accident which we yesterday noticed, and was again "all right."-Ibid., Feb. 11.

BUZZLE ROHIM.-It is reported that Buzzle Rohim, one of the sons of the late Monshee Ameer, is about to proceed to England with Dr. Maxton.-Ibid., Feb. 14.

RAJAH LENA SING MAJEETIAH.-We are given to understand, that the treasury and other personal properties belonging to Rajah Lena Sing Majeetiah, which have been lately attached by government, and deposited in the collectorate of the Twentyfour Pergunnahs, were released and restored to him on Friday last. He is, however, still under personal restraint.—Ibid., Feb. 16.

MR. SIMMS.-It is to be hoped that the result of the surveys made by Mr. Simms and his party will soon be made public. We believe there is no doubt whatever that his reports are highly favourable to the general practicability of railroads in India: but it is very desirable that the particulars should be published for the information of the Indian and English public.-Hurkaru, Feb. 17. ABSTRACTION OF A COMPANY'S PAPER FROM THE TREASURY.Some time ago, a company's paper, of three thousand rupees, was received from one of the collectorate, and remained in the office here as usual. In September, a native writer of the treasury contrived to abstract the paper, which, immediately after, he broke, and took out two separate papers for fifteen hundred rupees. Theft, however, was not discovered till the collector sent for the paper, when the circumstances above stated transpired. The party charged has just been apprehended, and is in the hands of the police.-Ibid.

THE CASE OF THE COMPANY'S PAPER. From what transpired in this case subsequently, it appears that the only grounds of suspicion against the accused party, on the discovery of the abstraction of the company's paper, were that he alone, among the writers, had disappeared from office at the time in question, and that the writing on the back of the paper, when divided into two smaller ones, bore a strong resemblance to his handwriting. Beyond, however, this circumstantial evidence, nothing has been traced to implicate the party, who, it seems, also had not absconded from Calcutta, having been arrested in his house in town. Under these circumstances of the case, the company's solicitor, Mr. Swinhoe, thinks the evidence quite insufficient for a crimi. nal prosecution to be based upon it; and as the magistrate, Mr. Robison, likewise is of opinion, that there is no proof either of the fact of the abstraction of the paper, or the forgery of the endorsement upon it, the case has been dismissed, and the party set a large. Ibid., Feb. 19.

MOVEMENT OF THE OFFICIATING METROPOLITAN.-The offi ciating metropolitan has gone with his chaplain and the archdeacon to Kishnagur, for the purpose of visiting the schools there. He will proceed from thence to the district of Burdwan, with a similar object, and it is said that he has expressed an intention of visiting afterwards the hilly country of Assam.Ibid.

SUDDER DEWANNY ADAWLUT.-The famous Tirhoot case of Rajah Basudkeva Singh versus Rajah Roodernarain Singh, which created so much sensation in Calcutta, and which occupied the attention of Mr. Rattray, one of the judges of the Sudder Dewanny Adawlut for the last two or three weeks, was at last brought to a close on Tuesday last. Mr. Rattray, it is said, has confirmed the decision of Mr. Pringle's the judge of Tirhoot, in whose kutchery Rajah Roodernarain Singh gained the case some time ago. Ibid., Feb. 19.

-

NEWS FROM THE CAMP.-A letter from Ferozepore of the 4th instant, says, "The Governor-General left us rather abruptly this morning, with the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Currie, Col. Benson, and a few others of his staff, for the Commander-in-Chief's camp. It is rumoured that Golaub Singh has sent in terms, but of what nature is not public; but he is stated to have come to befriend us. The Governor-General is said to have declared

that he will only treat in Lahore. If this be true, make sure that we cross on the 10th. Our siege train is expected to-morrow.-Englishman, Feb. 18.

The Delhi Gazette has lately published the following correction of the statement made by him regarding the conspiracy :"We have been requested to state, in correction of that part of our account of the discovery of the Dinapoor 'plot' which mentioned that the sums of money found in the houses of the traitors, and wrapped up in cloth, corresponded with the pay of the different grades of Irregular Cavalry, that the sums so found amongst others, amounted also to 82 and 32 rupees, corresponding with the pay of an Infantry Soobahdar and Jemedar."

An absurd tale having been spread at Patna, in Bengal (the holy city of the Hindoos) that the British Government were about forcibly to interfere in putting down the religions of the natives, the Deputy-Governor of Bengal caused the following proclamation to be published in that city and the vicinity: "The Deputy Governor of Bengal has been informed that in these days some evil disposed people and disturbers of the public peace have propagated a rumour in the city of Patna, and in other places in the vicinity of that city, to the effect that the British government had serious intentions of interfering with the religious rites and customs of its subjects residing in these parts. This rumour is without the slightest foundation, and a pure fabrication, spread out of hatred to the government. It is however calculated to create uneasiness amongst the people, and the Deputy Governor of Bengal therefore feels great pleasure in assuring the inhabitants of Patna and places in its vicinity, and also all those of the entire province, that as the British government have in no instance hitherto interfered with the religious rites or customs of any sect, so they have no future intention of so interfering with any of those rites or customs, considering as they do every sect as equally entitled to their protection, and determined as they are to allow every one to worship the deity in any manner he may please."

Mr. Colvin, the resident at Katmandoo, who had been staying some days at Patna, looked through the papers connected with the treasonable circumstances that have come to light, at the desire of government it is supposed.

NEW WORK.-The first part of an Encyclopædia Bengalensis, edited by the Rev. Khrishna Mohun Banerje, has been published. It contains, besides some introductory matter, a portion of the history of Rome freely translated from Eutropius into English and Bengali.-Hurkaru, Feb. 18.

M. LAGRENE.-Monsieur de Lagrene, the French ambassador to China, visited the Museum of the Asiatic Society yesterday, and appeared much interested in what he saw there.-Ibid.

SIKH GUN.-The following, which has been obligingly communicated to us, will be found a tolerably accurate translation of the Persian inscription upon one of the Sikh guns captured in the late actions, a fac-simile of which was circulated by our contemporary the Delhi Gazette.

"Like dragons with life and body, I have many old spots:
Beware of me, oh foe, for I have fire in my mouth.
Oh truth-speaking gun, the work of a renowned King.
Thou art unrivalled in thy correctness and courage.
Dragon-breathed, tiger-born, battle-seeking,

Thou art a snake, and hast Mohrah, and art owner of a treasure." (A play upon the word "khizánah," which means 'a treasure," and also the "chamber" of a gun.)

66

"The property of Nawaub Mahummud Shoojah Khan Bahadoor Sufdur Jung, cast in 1182 of the Hejirah when the prophet departed. Named the Hill-breaker.' In weight one hundred and two maunds. The ball, according to the bore (i. e. of the size of the bore). Powder, half the weight of the ball.

The weight of this gun (stated by the Delhi Gazette to be of brass, and to carry a ball of 18 pounds), is equal, it will be observed, to about three tons and a half; namely, very nearly seventy-three hundred weight. We believe, brass 18-pounders are

not manufactured by us; we have, therefore, no means of knowing exactly what their weight would be; but as a brass 12pounder only weighs eighteen hundredweight, or not quite a ton, we may suppose a brass 18-pounder with us would not weigh more than a ton and a half. The weight of the Sikh 18-pounder, therefore, is considerably more than double what the weight of similar ordnance would be with us. Were it not for the great weight of the metal in proportion to the bore, the charge of powder mentioned in the inscription could never have been used with safety.-Bengal Hurkaru, Feb. 9.

MR. C. MORLEY.-Previous to the resignation by this gentleman of the office of accountant-general, the uncovenanted assistants in the department presented him with an address, in which they requested him to sit for his portrait in England, the cost of which they would remit to Messrs. Coutts and Co. Mr. Morley was much affected by this unequivocal expression of esteem, and begged of the parties who signed the address, not to urge the request to sit for his portrait, which they agreed to withdraw. It is equally honourable to Mr. Morley to have merited, as it is to the gentlemen who signed the address to have paid this compliment. Mr. Morley's successor, Mr. Walker, brings with him, from the custom-house, a very high character both for ability and gentlemanly bearing to his assistants. We have frequently had business to transact with Mr. Walker, and we can say that we never met a public officer more anxious to consult the convenience of the community.-Hurkaru, Feb. 12.

The Delhi Gazette publishes the following despatch from Major-general Gilbert to the Commander-in-Chief, detailing the operations of the troops under his command at the battle of Ferozeshuhur. Our contemporary introduces it with a remark that he does not see what reason could exist for its omission from the despatches published by the Government, an observation in which we fully concur with him :

required no stimulus to oppose the enemy, yet the presence of those two above-mentioned distinguished officers in the field of battle greatly animated them on this trying occasion. "The conduct of H. M.'s 80th regiment and the Hon. Company's 1st European Light Infantry, I cannot too highly speak of, as well as that of the 16th Grenadiers, and portions of the 2nd Grenadiers, 26th Light Infantry, and 45th regiment Native Infantry.

"It affords me great satisfaction to record the valuable services I received on this occasion and on the preceding evening from those distinguished officers, Brigadier C. Taylor, C.B., Brigadier J. MacLaren, and Brigadier N. Wallace; the first-named officer, although wounded by a cannon shot in the evening, was again at the head of his brigade on the following morning, and the last-named officer (Brigadier Wallace) I regret to say was killed towards the end of the action; as well as from the general and all personal staff, whose names are mentioned in the margin, particularly from the first-named officer (Captain Anson). Nor can I forbear to mention the gallant behaviour of Lieutenant and Adjutant Paton of the 14th regiment N.I., who commanded one of the detachments of Native Infantry on the right, which at one time hesitated to move forward, when that officer, seizing a colour, advanced in front, and by this necessary example induced the men to regain their place in the line and move onwards.

"My division, consisting of the troops as per margin, having been directed to lead the attack upon the enemy's entrenched camp at Ferozeshuhur, after steadily advancing under a heavy cannonade in echellon of regiments from the right, covered by two light field batteries, commanded by Capt. Horsford, came into action about four P. M., and succeeded in driving the enemy from that part of their position opposed to me, though I regret to say this was not effected without considerable loss, particularly in European officers.

"In consequence of the night setting in, the fear of the troops firing on each other, and through confusion consequent on part of the enemy's camp being on fire, not rendering it expedient that I should retain the position so gallantly won, I took up another, under instructions, about 400 yards from the camp, where I bivouacked for the night. 3d Inf.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

UMBALLAH, FEB. 4, 1846.-Here we are at last, after one of the most harassing journeys by dawk ever experienced. The whole line of road from Calcutta to Kurnaul has been for the last six weeks, and still is, covered with parties of dawk-travellers, creeping slowly and steadily up to the centre of attraction; and could one but manage a good bird's-eye view of the plains of the entire of India, at the present moment, it would not appear very unlike (if allowed to compare small things with great) a long file of black ants wending their way over some hardened extended surface to the point where their instinct guided them to prey. We live, indeed, in the midst of most stirring times-wars and nothing but rumours of wars-and accounts of incidents and occurrences of a startling nature. Benares is left with only two regiments of native infantry and a company or so of European artillery; the general there, however, is a smart fellow, and has his eyes open, although, at best, it would be an insignificant force, with whatever aid the neighbouring stations might afford, to take the field, or make a demonstration upon the Nepaulese in case of need. The Dinapore conspiracy appears to have passed away, and is another of the hundred instances of the happy fortune of the government in having made a premature discovery ere ripeness could have crowned it with success. At such a crisis as this the bursting of such a storm on the British might have been attended with awful results. Strict investigation and inquiries as to those concerned were still taking place, and we regret to have heard that some of the sepoys of the first regiment had a greater hand in it than had at first been imagined; a raja in the neighbourhood was also implicated, and has since, we believe, been laid hold of and placed in confinement. Immediately on the first surmise of such an occurrence being about to take place, the most prompt and praiseworthy measures were taken by those in authority to put an instant check on the proceedings, and the Calcutta Government at once seconded these efforts by sending an express after her H. M.'s 61st regiment, which was then exactly opposite Dinapore, en route to Allahabad, and halted that regiment as well as the 61st N.I., proceeding downwards, placing them both in case of need under orders of General Cooper, commanding the division. The military force at Cawnpore is too greatly reduced, not being much

[ocr errors]

superior to that at Benares, although it will be reinforced about the end of February by the arrival of H. M.'s 61st regiment, who are, as far as at present known, to halt and be stationed at that place. The rumours amongst the natives and in the bazars are of a most absurd nature; of course, the principal part of them is that our rule is now at an end, that the Sikhs are paramount, and that the intention of the latter is not to encumber themselves this season with more of the British Indian territories than extend to Benares! These and such like are the reports current about Cawnpore, which, like other large stations, is full of mournful lady-loves, who await their gallant Troubadours absent at the war. At Meerut, though so extensive a station, there is not a single regiment left, and what duties there happen to be are carried on by the police battalion; it is crowded with ladies; as is also Kurnaul, where a number of officers proceeding upwards have been brought to a full stop, in consequence of there being no bearers to take them further on to Ferozepore, and the route being unsafe. [Here follows an account of the victory of Aliwal, which, as the details are already before the public, and we are greatly pressed for space, we omit.] · A most villanous conspiracy to assassinate Mr. Vansittart, the political agent at Umballah, has just come to light. It appears, that some days since this gentleman obtained information that a native of consideration had been corresponding with Lahore, to the effect that, Umballah, being now entirely ungarrisoned, the Umballah people, could assistance be afforded, were all ready for a rising. On being questioned by Mr. Vansittart, of course he excused himself, and from want of sufficient proof, he was merely warned that he would be borne in mind, and had commenced twisting a rope for his own hanging. Ever since, two men, it is found, have been dodging about the agent, one of whom rushed in on the 1st of February, after cutting down the sepoy sentry, and marched through the apartments of Mr. Vansittart's house, who, with other gentlemen then at dinner, had gone over to the other side of the house on hearing the wounded sepoy's cries, thus providentially avoiding this" alsearrah," or religious fanatic, who was at once cut down; his accomplice has since been detected, is now at this moment under trial, tied up to a tree, with a guard over him, sawaiting the result of the examination for sentence of execution. The original instigator is in confinement. Umballah, like Meerut, is protected only by a police battalion, and contains upwards of 500 European women. Twice already has the battalion been under arms the whole night, under expectation of an attack from the Sikhs. On one of these occasions the barracks accidentally caught fire, leading (under the circumstances), to the conclusion that the Sikhs were at the bottom of it. When the Sikhs burned down the Loodianah canton'ments, they behaved most civilly to the women there; but the knowledge of this courtesy would not make an attack on the defenceless Umballah cantonments more acceptable, seeing how barbarously they murdered all the sick the other day.

GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORDERS.

SENIOR APOTHECARIES.

Fort William, January 2, 1846. With the view of giving effect to the liberal and benevolent intentions of the Honourable the Court of Directors in respect to the subordinate branch of the medical establishment of the three presidencies, by the grant to a certain number of the most meritorious among the senior apothecaries, in consideration of the long service they have usually rendered, of allowances superior to those which are paid on their first appointment to that grade, the Honourable the President in Council, with the concurrence of the Right Honourable the Governor-general, is pleased to resolve :

Madras.. 'Bombay

.......

6

That in cases of very great merit or distinguished exertion in the public service, the medical boards at Fort William, Fort St. George and Bombay, shall be at liberty to recommend of the subordinate medical establishments of their respective presidencies a certain number limited as per margin of the senior apothecaries for Bengal.... an increase of pay and allowances, not exceeding in the aggregate Rs. 250 per mensem, with the eventual benefits of Rs. 100 invalid allowance when transferred to the non-effective list, and of Rs. 75 pension on retirement per month. The above provisions are to be considered applicable to the most deserving of the senior apothecaries, who have laboured long, faithfully, and with conspicuous merit in the performance of their duties in the military hospitals of the armies of the three presidencies, and are not intended to embrace the cases of individuals in possession of appointments of a civil nature to which superior allowances and advantages are attached, unless such individuals being within the prescribed number of the seniors shall have previously performed considerable military service, and their character and merits founded on returns furnished to and by the

Medical Board, shall entitle them in the opinion of Government to be so distinguished.

RECOVERY OF SUMS

OUTSTANDING IN THE ACCOUNT OF EXECUTIVE COMMISSARIAT OFFICERS, AGAINST STAFF OFFICERS, &c.

Adverting to general orders by the Governor-general, 17th February, 1821, and general orders, No. 235, dated 12th August, 1824, and with the view of expediting the recovery of sums outstanding in the account of executive commissariat officers against staff officers and others, not of the medical or commissariat department, the following rules are to be observed in future :

On all occasions of retrenchments made from the disbursements of the commissariat being subsequently confirmed by the Military Board against any officer, intimation of the same is to be given to the Accountant-general, who will take immediate measures to effect their recovery through the Pay department, and the commissariat officer will at the same time be authorized to write them off in his cash account current.

Officers in command of divisions, stations, corps, or detachments directing charges to be incurred at variance with the rules for commissariat expenditure are personally answerable for the amount, and unless the immediate sanction of Government or confirmation of their orders is obtained by the parties concerned, the executive officer will report the case to the Military Board, in order that the necessary intimation may be given to the Accountant-general and authority obtained as prescribed in the foregoing clause.

The Accountant-general will also be pleased to furnish a quarterly or half-yearly statement to the Military Board of all sums bona fide realized, so that no sum or sums against any individual may be lost sight of.

ASSISTANT SURGEONS.

Jan. 3rd.-Under instructions from Government, and in continuation of general orders, dated the 12th of September last, his excellency the commander-in-chief is pleased to announce that medical officers, who are deprived of staff allowance from not having passed the prescribed colloquial examination, are not entitled to draw head money in lieu; but palanqueen allowance, in consideration of the particular purpose for which that allowance is granted to medical officers, is admissible to assistant surgeons so circumstanced.
