A FLIGHT OF LOCUSTS.-On Tuesday about five o'clock in the afternoon, a flight of Pongopal or a species of locusts was seen to pass over the northern part of Calcutta, taking their direction from the east to the west.--1bid. Nov. 19.

LOCUSTS.-Seebpore, 18th November.—“ I send you a muster of locusts, and will be glad if you can get me an extensive order, as I could have little difficulty in supplying a few millions. am happy to say they shifted their quarters about an hour ago after carrying off nearly all the leaves from some of the trees. I see them, however, like a cloud over Seebpore Island, and dread their return for beds and breakfast here again."-Ibid.

MESMERISM. A number of gentlemen, medical and otherwise, attended at Dr. Esdaile's hospital yesterday, by invitation, to witness the removal of a large tumour from the breast of a native woman, subjected to mesmeric influence. Although it appeared that the manipulations had not been long enough continued, Dr. Esdaile determined on the amputation, and the result was, that his success was only partial, the patient, though at first insensible to the knife, gradually awakening before the operation was completed.-Ibid. Nov. 21.

GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORDERS.

PAY AND ALLOWANCES TO FORCES BEYOND THE Sutledge.

Simla, Oct. 8th, 1816. With reference to former orders fixing temporarily the scale of pay and allowances to be drawn by the forces serving beyond the Sutledge, the Right Honourable the Governor-General of India is pleased to determine, that the troops now composing the Jullunder division, whose services are, or may be, required between the Beas and Cheenab rivers, or at any place beyond the British Frontier, shall continue to draw Scinde allowances while so employed.

2. As the troops destined to occupy the Jullunder Doabt during the year 1817, may be required to move at the shortest notice, they will receive extra or field batta, in addition to the pay and batta receivable in cantonments in the other divisions of the army.

Rule II. The north-western frontier line shall commence in the Himalayah range of mountains west of the Sutlej, where the British territory adjoins the territory of maharaja Goolab Singh of Jummoo, Hence it shall run in the direction of the river Beas, till the junction of that river with the Sutlej. It shall follow the direction of the Sutlej till it reaches the Buhawulpoor frontier, and shall thence pass by Sirsa, Hissar and Hansi, til it reaches the Jumna below Bullubgurn. It shall run in the direction of the river Jumna till it reaches the boundary between the Banda and Allahabad districts, whence it shall follow the southern frontier of the Allahabad and Mirzapoor districts, till it meets the river Soane, and there it shall terminate.

Rule III. Customs-house jurisdiction shall extend for a breadth of fifteen miles, or over all British territory within that space from the commencement of the line to the point where it reaches the river Jumna. Thence the Custom-house jurisdiction shall extend for a distance of fifteen miles from the right bank of the Jumna, or over all British territory within that space, so far as the boundary between the Allahabad and Banda districts and along the frontier of the Allahabad and Mirzapore districts, for the distance of fifteen miles north and east of the frontier, save and except the cities and marts of Bindrabun, Muttra and Agra shall be excluded from Customs jurisdiction, the space so excluded being a circle of two miles from the cotwallee or chief police station of each town. Provided that where these tracts are so excluded, the breadth of the line be extended in a correspondent measure to the westward and southward, so that in no place the breadth be less than fifteen miles, or include all British territory within that space. Rule IV. is cancelled.

Six furloughs, therefore, are available on this date, and have been assigned by the deputy-governor of Bengal to the senior of the following applicants:

1. J. F. M. Reid; 2. A. J. M. Mills; 3. R. B. Garrett; 4. M. R. Gubbins; 5. R. Hampton; 6. J. H. Young; 7. C. II. Lushington; 8. G. L. Martin; 9. F. B. Gubbins ; 10. G. F. Cockburn; 11. H. M. Reid.

CIVIL FUND. The gentlemen who will succeed to annuities from the Civil Fund this year, are Messrs. Blackburne, Blair, F. M. Lewin, and R. Eden.-Athenæum.

WANT OF RAIN.-Prayer for rain was offered up at the cathedral on Sunday last. We have as yet had but a few inconsiderable showers from the proper monsoon quarter, the north-east, and the heavy fall which accompanied the late gale from another direction was compressed into so short a space of time that it ran off rapidly, making little or no beneficial impression upon mother earth. The clouds have seemed, of late, to intend visiting us with their fulness; and we devoutly trust they will soon give us something more than promises.-Ibid.

MAJOR REED. We understand that Major Reed, of H. M. 84th Regiment, has been ordered to precede his corps to Secunderabad, and on arrival there to superintend the volunteering of H. M. 63rd Regiment, under orders for Europe, and to take charge of such men drafted for his corps. - Ibid. Nov. 21.

BELLARY, November 7.-Intelligence was received here a few days ago to the effect that Nursim Reddy's brother, and son, and a gosaya, with about 400 followers, had betaken themselves to a fortified hill, and threatened the country around with depredations; that Nursim Reddy's brother had given himself up on being summoned by the authorities, but that the others had determined to hold out. How far this information may accord with facts, I am unable to state; but many rumours have been prevalent lately regarding Nursim Reddy's being still unapprehended. Some curious stories relative to the origin of the late disturbances have been mentioned to me by a respectable native, which I think deserving of publicity. It appears that before Nursim Reddy commenced his career of rebellion, he consulted a gosaya on the success of his plans. This individual, who pretended to be an astrologer, stated that the moment he took up arms, the whole of the Cundapah district would join his standard, and that he would obtain victory after victory until his authority was completely established. Encouraged by this auspicious revelation, he forthwith commenced hostilities, and was for a while successful. About the time that our troops collected in a body sufficiently strong to overcome the numbers opposed to them, the gosaya advised Nursim Reddy to conceal himself till the Dusserah festival had passed over, after which he added there would be no cause of fear for him, as "his bow and arrow would prevail against all opposition, and the enemy's bullet if directed against him would turn away from its course." It was in consequence of this second revelation that Nursim Reddy for some days hid himself in the jungles until the festival days were completed, when the predicted time of his aggrandizement having come, he issued forth from his retreats, and took that fatal step in approaching our troops, which terminated in his circumvention and capture. This gosaya is now with the son, whom, I dare say, he encourages with the same bright hopes that proved so delusive to the father.

Arrivals.-Captain Elphinstone and family; Rev. Mr. Wardlaw and lady, from Madras; Lieut. Lillicrap, 5th N. I. from Gooty.

Departures.-Mr. Mellor, to Ramanmullay; Dr. Powell, to Kurnool and Cuddapah.- Athenæum, Nov. 14.

TRICHINOPOLY, Nov. 11.-Lady Montgomerie arrived at Trichinopoly last week, and remained for a few days under the hospitable roof of the collector. I believe she is en route to Madras to join Sir Henry. Mr. Hooper, Judge of Coimbatore, is also here and is putting up with Mr. Harrington, the Judge of this district. The gup of the place is that Mr. Hooper is proceeding io Madras to take his seat on the Bench of the Sudr Adawlut Court. Our quidnuncs have also given out a report, that Mr. Harrington had been invited to fill the vacant judgeship in the higher Court, but that he had declined the

offer.

You must know better, but nevertheless I give you the gossip current here:-The Marquis, it appears, has purchased extensive lands on the Neilgherries, and is at present on a visit to Bangalore. The latter is very probable, but the former I doubt in toto. What on earth could the Marquis want with lands on the blue mountains while he has but ten months' more of office before him? I do not know how these reports get abroad; and the old saw often recurs to me, that without fire there can be no smoke; notwithstanding, some of these rumours are so palpably incredible, that the question is, how and by whom they could have been invented. You would not publish, would I commit to paper, a tithe of the idle tales that obtain currency here respecting your great folks at Madras. However, have you not often wondered by what means local news transpires at a distant quarter ere it is known to you; and, frequently, has not the Presidency been indebted for intelligence appertaining to itself, to Calcutta, Bombay, and even to England?

The friends of native education will, doubtless, be delighted to learn that the Hindoos of Trichinopoly are quite alive to the advantages accruing from an acquaintance with the English language. There are English schools in almost every creek and corner of the town, alias fort; but the pity is that the schoolmasters are natives, whose pronunciation is not only very defective, but they themselves require to be perfected in the tongue they have undertaken to teach the rising generation. Trichinopoly, from what I can judge, offers a fair field for educational enterprises, but the people are excessively bigoted; the distinctions of caste are carried on to an extent almost incredible to a Madrasee, and the Pariahs are held in the utmost contempt, yet, as the gradual dripping of water on the hardest stone hollows it in the course of time, so, by perseverance and tact, we might, in a single generation, remove the scales from off the eyes of the poor, benighted multitude. The regimental-school for the children of the European soldiery has a schoolmaster of respectable attainments. I was told he is an Englishman. There is ano

ther school in the fort, for the children of East-Indians and those Europeans who reside within the walls. The latter is maintained by public subscription, and is under the auspices of the collector, who appears to be deeply interested in its welfare, and generally patronises education to a considerable extent.

12TH.-At about 6 P.M. a few drops of rain fell. The murky clouds, however, betoken an early downpour. Would that it will come down buckets-full. Mr. Cadell, the assistant-collector, has arrived. He has taken his oath, and his seat in the Hoozoor Cutchery. A person of the name of Edwards-overseer of the Marrmut works-has been found guilty of falsifying his accounts, and there is no doubt the revenue-board will dismiss him Mr. Onslow is a very strict functionary, and an enemy to bribery and corruption.

13TH.-The rains may be said to have fairly set in. The weather has assumed a decidedly monsoonish appearance.Athenæum, Nov. 17.

VIZAGAPATAM, Nov. 11.-I am sorry to have to communicate to you the demise of Ensign H. E. M. Palmer, of the 41st regiment N. I., which melancholy event occurred at Waltair, on the evening of the 9th instant. This young officer was brought in here sick from Nursapatam the day previous, where he had contracted the hill fever, which terminated his earthly careerhis remains were last evening interred with due military honours. I have also to communicate the death of Mrs. Hawkins, relict of the late C. Hawkins, Esq., master attendant of this station, which event took place at Waltair, on the night of the 9th inst. -her remains were also consigned to their last resting-place yesterday.

The nights and mornings are now delightfully cool and pleasant, but during the day it is still warm. Common catarrhal complaints are just now prevalent.

The ship Amherst, Capt. Thompson, arrived here from Calcutta on the 7th inst., and sailed last evening for Madras. Passengers-H. Leonhard, Esq., and family.

Arrivals. Ensign B. Wilson, 11th regt., from Vizianagrum, ent route to the Presidency on sick certificate. Assistant-apothecary J. J. West, 22nd regt., from Berhampore, en route to the Presi dency on medical certificate.—Athenæum, Nov. 19.

Nov. 14. A very extensive and most destructive fire broke out at noon yesterday, in Chenglerompettah-a place situated in the central portion of this populous town-and from the strong winds that were blowing during the conflagration, upwards, I believe, of two hundred houses were, in a very short space of time, consumed by the devouring element. The fire originated in a stable where some grain was boiling, and the flames, by some means, caught the building, which very soon extended its destructive influence to the neighbouring houses→ no lives were, I believe, lost. The exertions of the principal assistant to the magistrate, A. Mathison, Esq., and Capt. Gerrard, our worthy public staff-officer, who were both present on the occasion, were truly praiseworthy, as also the commissary of ordnance, who did much good in getting the fire under with the engine. The loss of property must have been considerable, and the washermen appear to have been the chief sufferers.

A Division Order was published yesterday, announcing the expected arrival of the Lord Bishop of Madras, on or about the 16th proximo. A guard of honour has been directed to be held in readiness for his lordship. A goodly number of candidates for confirmation are being bi-weekly instructed in the fundamental doctrines of the Christian religion by the Rev. A. Fennell, preparatory to his lordship's arrival.

P. B. Smollet, Esq., collector and agent, with his suite, are to leave Bimlipatam this evening, and his office is to be opened at Vizianagrum on Monday, the 16th instant.

Our worthy chaplain is about proceeding on his northern tour as far as Russellcondah, on a pastoral visit.

A Division Order has also been published, annuoncing the intended departure from this, on the 16th instant, of the General Commanding the Division and Staff, for the purpose of inspecting and reviewing the corps stationed south of Vizagapatam.— Ibid. Nov. 21.

VIZIANAGRUM, Nov. 16, 1846.-It is also currently rumoured, that it is in contemplation to have a light-house erected at Conada, opposite the Santapilly Rocks, about twelve miles from hence, the coast being heretofore rather dangerous for trading or other vessels in passing or repassing, the above rocks being completely obscured by the sea running over them, numbers, I am informed, having hitherto been wrecked. The superintendence of the foregoing contemplated light-house would be a most desirable situation for a respectable steady pensioner, the salary of which is expected to be fifty-two rupees per mensem, with an adequate establishment.-Atlas, Nov. 23.
