VIOLENT STORM.-The great event of this part of India is a storm of fearful violence, which passed over Calcutta in the night of the 14th ult. It was equal, some think more than equal, in strength, to the one of June 2nd, 1842,-ten years ago this day-which did so much damage among the shipping. Furious as was the recent hurricane, however, we did not get the strongest part of it here, the centre having passed to the eastward. The damage done afloat was more among the small river craft than the shipping. The shore along the whole front of Calcutta was one mass of tangled wreck, the remains of boats and their cargoes. None of the larger vessels off town received any severe injury, though a few of them were driven ashore for a short time. The most noticeable shipwreck is that of the Nereides, at the Sandheads, with the loss of the greater part of her crew. Her pilot, chief mate, and three or four of the men, have been picked up in the Sunderbunds. Two of the sailors who were thrown on those desolate islands, were, it has been stated, so nearly reduced to starvation, that they were fain to satisfy the cravings of hunger on the putrifying body of a shipmate who died soon after they got on shore! The damage done on land in Calcutta and the adjacent country was very great. Hardly a house in town escaped injury, while, according to a police return, above three thousand huts and above forty brick buildings were blown down. According to the same official statement eleven lives were lost in the town. Perhaps the most remarkable circumstance connected with the storm, and the best evidence of its fury, is the fact that (by police computation) about thirty-five thousand crows and kites lay dead in the streets, beaten down from the trees which had been their roosting-places! The atmospheric convulsion appears to have been felt more or less over nearly the whole of India. Since its occurrence we have had extremely hot weather.-Hur karu, June 2. THE 74TH N.I.-We regret to state, that a letter dated the 19th May, on the river, twenty miles below Barripore, Beauleah, gives distressing accounts of the voyage of the 74th N. I. from Dacca. Their first misfortune was cholera, which still continues, and upwards of twenty men have already fallen victims to its ravages. On the night of the 14th, and morning of the 15th, the Cyclone burst upon them, six boats were completely destroyed, several blown high and dry inland, amongst which were three of the officers' boats, one of which had to be abandoned, it had taken such a long inland journey. On the 18th, they lost another large boat.-Englishman. MR. HERKLOTS.-We have this week the melancholy duty of recording the death, on the 26th of May, of Mr. Gregory Herklots, of Chinsurah, the last relic of the old Dutch establishments in India, which, when he entered the service, comprised a body of more than fifty civilians. Mr. Herklots was born at Bremen, at the beginning of 1768, and came out to India in 1789, when he was appointed a member of the Dutch service at Chinsurah. The highest office he attained in it was that of magistrate; but this was only owing to the confusion consequent on the hostilities in which the Dutch were twice involved with England. Had the Dutch power remained unbroken, he would have risen to the highest post in the service. In 1791, Mr. Herklots was married to a young widow, who proved to be a most excellent wife, and the union continued to be a source of the highest conjugal and family happiness to both, during the long period of fifty-five years it subsisted. They had a large family of sixteen children, four of whom only survive them. At the time of his death, Mr. Herklots had also thirty-seven grand-children, thirty-nine great grand-children, and one great-great grand-child, in all, a patriarchal family of eighty-one descendants, a most extraordinary sight in a country so remarkable for the fluctuations of society and the rapid extinction of families.-Friend of India, June 3. FRAUDULENT TRANSACTION.-It was some time ago rumoured, and we believe the Englishman mentioned it, that the London agent of a Mofussil Bank had made large advances to a branch house at home on shipments of certain goods which,' on arrival here, turned out just half the quantity invoiced. We have since ascertained that these shipments consisted of copper, and that, although the boxes were in appearance of the customary fivehundredweight size, they never could have contained more than half that quantity. Unfortunately, this transaction has not been confined to one shipment, but consisted of a succession of consignments, on each of which advances were made by several banks and banks' agents in London, on the hypothecation of the usual shipping documents. As the consignors and drawers of the bills have failed in England, and the consignees here have likewise gone through the Insolvent Court, the shipments in question had to be landed and disposed of by the holders of the documents. An idea may be formed of the extent of the loss, by the fact, that one of the shipments on which Rs. 20,000 had been advanced, hardly realized Rs. 10,000. As far as we have been able to learn, the total loss falling upon the parties who made advances, will amount to somewhere near two lakhs of rupees; and as the estates of the insolvents hold out no prospect of a dividend of more than five per cent. it will take rather a long time to make good the loss by exchange operations. This is the result of making advances on the "pig in the poke." We hope, for the sake of the parties concerned, that the difference in the quantity will be "satisfactorily explained;" because we cannot believe that any shipper would have the temerity knowingly to be a party to such a disreputable transaction.—Hurkaru, May 25. EUROPEAN OFFICERS WITH THE BURMESE.-Some rumours have been afloat in Calcutta, stating that certain French officers had proceeded to Rangoon for the purpose of joining the Burmese. From information that has reached us, we are disposed to believe the following account to be strictly correct. Two Frenchmen, one of them a cavalry officer, formerly in the Spanish service, took their passage in the ship Emperor, under the disguise of Spanish Jews, and although suspicion had been excited that they were other than they represented themselves to be, the facts were not fully elicited until the vessel had sailed, when a report of the circumstance, giving the real name (Cap. tain Dugeney) of one of them was made to the proper authori ties. We know not what steps the authorities may deem fit to take in the matter, but the best plan in our opinion would be to send a despatch by the Berenice which will start immediately, and will reach Rangoon before the Emperor, desiring the commodore to deem these French visitors as contraband, and to return them by the first steamer.-Englishman, June 2. PUBLIC WORKS BY PRIVATE PERSONS. The list of the public works executed by private individuals, which is published annually in the Calcutta Gazette, seems to grow every year "small by degrees and beautifully less." We trust we yield to none in our admiration of disinterested benevolence, but it is impossible to avoid a smile at the contrast between the length of the pompous official list, and the meagre deeds it is intended to celebrate. There is one heavy item in the catalogue, which is important, not only from its magnitude, but from its connection with a peculiar feature in native society. Radhamoney Dasseepopularly called Rassmoney-a Hindoo lady, is set down as having erected a temple at Dukhinshur, at an expense of Rs. 50,000. This Rassmoney Dassee is the widow of Rajchunder Mar, a man of very low caste, who inherited an immense fortune from his father in Calcutta, and died nearly twenty years since, leaving his widow one of the richest dowagers in the country. All Hindoo widows left in independent circumstances, fall of necessity into the power of the Bramhuns, and a very large proportion of the finest temples in the country owe their origin and endowments to their piety or superstition. Steeped to the lips in ignorance, and utterly des titute of occupation, the priest obtains over them a power equal to that exercised by a father confessor over a Parisian devotée, and, as a matter of course, employs it to the advantage of his creed, and his own order. This is the reason why, in this country, female liberality invariably takes the shape of massive temples with splendid endowments, the former watched over and the latter enjoyed by the priests, who suggested both. In the present instance, the temple at Dukhinshur is merely one of a series of great works executed by this native lady, who has been for years the greatest benefactor of the Bramhuns in Bengal.Friend of India, May 27. They THE SCREW WAR STEAMER "RATTLER," is a perfect puzzle to the Burmese: it is a contrivance they cannot understand―a mystery they are unable to solve. They gape and wonder and are lost in amazement; in short, they can make nothing of it. see a large ship move, without a rag of canvas and independent of wind and tide, where she likes and how she likes; and all this with no visible machinery to impel her through the water. They see a funnel, it is true, and smoke issuing from it, but there are no paddles, nothing that agitates and ruffles the water through which and in spite of which she works her way by some silent and secret agency. Numbers of them have paddled round and round her in their canoes to discover, if possible, the unknown cause of motion; but it is of no use-they can detect nothing. They return baffled and confounded, and I dare say by this time their minds are so far made up on the subject, that the Rattler is put in motion by an agency nothing short of infernal.-Letter from Rangoon. VOLUNTEERING FOR FOREIGN SERVICE.-A number of native regiments, including two or three Sikh corps, have volunteered for service in Burmah. JOTTER PERSAUD.-The application to the Supreme Court on behalf of Isoreepersaud, for an injunction to restrain Lalla Joteepersaud from receiving any further advances from Government, has been rejected. THE RAILWAY.-The process of ballasting and laying down the rails has been commenced at Bali Khal. CIRCULATION OF THE SCRIPTURES.-The "Fifth Report of Operations in Translating, Printing, and Circulating the Sacred Scriptures in the Languages of India, by the Calcutta Baptist Missionaries," informs us that, between the years 1947 and 1851, no fewer than 222,761 copies of the Bible were distributed amongst the natives of this country. MONEY is said to be so plentiful in the Calcutta bazaar, that loans on deposit of Company's paper may be obtained from the shroffs at the rate of 3 per annum. AN INDIAN COMMISSION. - Under every point of view, the deputation of a parliamentary commission to this country, even if there was sufficient time left for its labours, appears to be unadvisable. All the information which the parliamentary committee can require, relative to the nature and operation of the institutions we have given to India, is to be obtained in England, from the various retired officers of Government, and from private individuals unconnected with the state, who have passed their lives in India. As the object of the committee is to investigate and report on the efficiency of our measures, not the personal character of our public men, the committee might, moreover, summon from India any of those members of Government who were likely to furnish them with the most valuable data for the compilation of their report. Such a course was freely adopted in the case of Ceylon, when a committee was appointed with the view of annoying an obnoxious Governor, and there could be no impropriety in pursuing the same plan, for the accomplishment of a nobler object, which affected the welfare of many millions of our Indian subjects. It is also a matter of great importance that the opinion of intelligent natives regarding the present character and ulterior improvement of Government measures in India, should be submitted to the committee at home, and receive all due consideration. And this cannot be more effectually accomplished than by the transmission of Memorials from the various native communities at each of the Presidencies, embodying their views and wishes.— Friend of India. GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORDERS. Notification.-Fort St. George, May 13, 1952.-The Most Noble the Governor of Bengal has been pleased to resolve that, in the event of a medical officer posted at the sudder station of a district being required to attend professionally a public officer on duty in the interior of the district, he will be entitled to draw eight annas per mile as travelling allowance, and five rupees per diem during the period of his necessary absence from the sudder station. Fort William, May 14, 1852.-The Most Noble the Gov.. General of India in Council is pleased to direct the publication of the following extract of a military letter from the Hon. Court of Directors to the Governor of presidency of Fort William in Bengal, No. 32, of the 17th March, 1852. "Para 16. By the G. O of 19th July, 1822, it is declared that the attendance of the medical officers in their professional capacity on the families of the officers of the corps to which they are attached is an imperative part of the duty to be performed by them,' and that this order is applicable to medical attendance by presidency surgeons, garrison surgeons and staff surgeons of stations, on the officers of the army, and their families, who may make application to them for professional advice.' Your decision, that the principle of this order is applicable to all cases in which a military officer requires aid for himself and family, has our full approval." VOLUNTEER REGIMENTS FOR BURMAH. Fort William, May 21, 1852. The Governor-General of India in Council has the greatest satisfaction in publicly announcing that the 3rd and 4th regiments of Sikh local infantry, and the Ramghurh light infantry battalion, together with the cavalry and artillery attached to it, have come forward voluntarily and entirely of their own accord, to proffer their services for employment beyond sea, in Burmah. It has afforded the Governor-General in Council the highest gratification to observe the soldierly feeling displayed by these regiments, in thus volunteering for foreign service; and considering that these are local regiments, engaged to serve within certain assigned limits, his Lordship in Council recognizes as doubly meritorious the spirit which has led them to ask leave to pass, not their own limits only, but those also of the Company's territories, and to proceed by sea to the seat of war. Should the war with Burmah be prolonged, and should distance and other considerations not prove to be impediments, the Governor-General in Council will very gladly employ these regiments, and with the most entire confidence in the gallantry and efficiency with which they will discharge their duty in the field. Fort William, Foreign Department, May 27, 1852. — The Governor-General in Council, having learned by a despatch from Lieutenant-General Godwin, C. B., commanding the forces in Ava, Arracan, and the Tennasserim provinces, that the name of Brevet-major Boulderson, deputy judge advocate general of the force, who had also acted as deputy assistant quartermastergeneral, and was commended by the lieutenant-general, was omitted in G. G. O., dated April 28th, and having further been informed that Captain Rundall had been erroneously mentioned in the despatch as commanding the Madras sappers and miners, instead of Lieutenant Ford; his Lordship in Council desires to correct the omission and the error, and to offer to Major Boulderson and to Lieutenant Ford the thanks which are their due. These regiments have been thus prominently mentioned, because the offers of their services were the earliest received by government. But it is with the most cordial satisfaction that the Governor-General in Council is further enabled to notify for public information, that the 33rd, the 37th, and the 10th regiments of native infantry, as well as the regiment of Loodianalı, have all come forward in the most creditable and soldier-like manner, eager to be the first to request that they may be employed in foreign service, and sent by land or by sea to Burmah. These four regiments have set an honourable example to their comrades of the line; and while accepting their loyal offer of service, the Governor-General in Council assures them, that, should occasion arise, they shall have afforded to them the opportunity of evincing in Burmah that spirit and devotion to their duty, which their coming forward in the way they have done abundantly proves them to possess. CAPT. AND BREV. MAJ. RICHARD OUSELEY, 50TH N.1. Head-Quarters, Simla, May 11, 1852.-At a general courtmartial, assembled at Dinapore, on Thursday, March 4, 1852, Capt. and Brev. maj. R. Ouseley, 50th N. I., was arraigned on the following charges: First. For having, about the month of November, 1846, in wilful disobedience of the standing G.O. by Gov., dated Nov. 7, 1821, sold a house and its furniture, at Chota Nagpore, to the Rajah of Patchyt, for Rs. 10,000, or thereabouts, without the permission of Government. Second. For conduct disgraceful to an officer and a gentleman, in the following instances: 1st. In having, when senior assist. to the Gov. Gen.'s agent, south-west frontier, at Chota Nagpore, on or about Oct. 15, 1818, fraudulently misapplied to his own use Government money, under his charge, to the amount of Rs. 19,945, or thereabouts. 2nd. In having, at Chota Nagpore, on or about Oct. 15, 1848, in a letter addressed to the Assist. acc. gen. to the Government of Bengal, and in a certificate bearing the same date, falsely certified that the sum of Rs. 81,219-7-1 had been on that day delivered over in cash to his successor, Capt. J. C. Hannyngton, he, Capt. Ouseley, well knowing that, instead of that sum being in the treasury, there was an actual deficiency of Rs. 19,945, or thereabouts. Finding. Guilty of the first charge. On the first instance of the second charge, not guilty, and the Court acquit him thereof; guilty of the second instance of the second charge. As regards the preamble of the second charge, the Court acquit the prisoner of conduct disgraceful to the character of an officer and a gentleman, but find him guilty of unbecoming conduct. Sentence. To be severely reprimanded in such manner as his Exc. the Commander-in-Chief may be pleased to direct. Revised finding.-The Court, after attentively considering the letter No. 25, dated Head-quarters, Camp, Phillour, April 9, 1852, from Maj. J. M. Drake, dep. judge adv. gen., and after a reconsideration of the evidence bearing upon the first instance of the second charge, do respectfully adhere to their former finding thereupon. Confirmed. (Signed) W. M. GOмм, General, Head-Quarters, Simla, C.-in-C., East Indies. May 5, 1852. Remarks by his Exc. the Commander-in-Chief.-The Commander-in-Chief, not having approved of the sentence of the Court, deems it inexpedient to inflict any further reprimand than will be conveyed by the promulgation of the case in orders. Brev. maj. Ouseley is to be released from arrest, and directed to return to his duty. CIVIL. APPOINTMENTS, &c. ABERCROMBIE, R. made over ch. of mag. of Dacca to G. P. Leycester, May 14. ALEXANDER, G.
