station, as fine a body of well set up men as it was possible to see. The losses they suffered in the war, and by the falling of their barracks, must have made a fearful gap in their ranks, and these have been still further diminished by the volunteering of the men into other regiments, so that we shall have the melancholy satisfaction of seeing little more than the skeleton of the corps.-Talking of the Loodheeanah barracks reminds us that, notwithstanding all that was said and written about the matter at the time, nothing has been done in the shape of such an enquiry as ought to have been instituted. It is greatly to the discredit to the Government that such enquiry has not taken place, or should it have taken place, that the results have not been made public, as ought to have been the case. Had such an accident happened in England, the voice of public opinion would have compelled enquiry. In fact, the coroner's inquest would have made short work of the matter, and probably have condemned the Government in the shape of a heavy deodand, to atone in some measure for their negligence, or that of their servants.Ibid.

We learn that Brigadier Campbell, c.B., leaves Meerut tomorrow evening to assume command of the Cawnpoor division, Sir Joseph Thackwell vacating that appointment on his promotion as a major-general. It is understood that Sir Joseph will, in all probability, be posted to the Poonah division of the Bombay army. He fully deserves the honour, not only for his cool and dashing conduct in the field, but also for his urbanity and kindness to all who have had the good fortune to serve under bim.-Delhi Gazette, Jan. 20.

A letter from "head-quarters, camp Pattersee "-dated 15th January-says that the movements of the Commander-in-Chief are quite uncertain. "His Lordship will go from Umballah to Kurnaul to inspect the remount depôt-but whether he will proceed thence to Meerut, or to Saharunpore, does not appear to be finally decided." H. M.'s 21st fusiliers marched from Agra towards Cawnpoor, their destination, on the morning of the 15th. The 31st N. I. reached Umballah on the 14th instant.-Mofussillite, Jan. 19.

A NEW ORDER IN THE EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.-We hear from an authority on which we can rely, that the Government has prohibited the students of their colleges and schools in different parts of the country, from offering any congratulatory addresses to their principals, professors, and masters, they not being the proper persons from whom praise or dispraise should come. The Provakur corroborates the statement without mentioning the reasons, which he intends to talk of in a future number.-Hurkaru, Jan. 9.

A MEDICAL DEPOT AT THE HINDOO COLLEGE.-We understand that, in consequence of the sub-assistant surgeons not being allowed by government to prescribe on the honourable Company's dispensary, the Council of Education bave deemed it advisable to recommend to Government the establishment of a medical depôt at the Hindoo College premises, where the sub-assistant surgeon, Baboo Kunjo Beharee Chatterjee, the doctor of the college will be allowed to prescribe.-Ibid.

SEAL'S FREE COLLEGE.-We have learnt, from an unquestionable authority, that Mr. Macarthy has been appointed head master of the Seal's Free College, in the room of Capt. Palmer, who has lately resigned his office in the institution.-Ibid.

HOWRAH GOVERNMENT SCHOOL. We understand that the annual examination and distribution of prizes of the Howrah Government School was held at the school premises on Thursday last, when the most meritorious students in the several classes were rewarded with some valuable books, in the presence of the magistrate of the zillah. The first class, under Mr. Delanougerede received six prizes; the second, under Baboo Bhugobutty Churn Ghose, seven prizes; the third, under Baboo Bholanauth, six prizes; and the fourth, under Baboo Sree Nauth Ghose, eleven prizes; all which were distributed by Mr. Alexander.-Ibid.

AN INTENDED DISPENSARY IN ZILLAH KISHNAGORE.-We state on the authority of the Provakur, who has learnt from one of his Moffusil correspondents, that the establishment of a dispensary for distributing medicines gratis to the poor, has been contemplated by some of the leading inhabitants of Kishnagore. The medical duties of this populous zillah are now chiefly con. ducted by Doctor Archer and a sub-assistant surgeon named Baboo Kally Prosaud Lahorie. The Baboo, we hear, is not employed by Government, but is practising in this zillah on his own account. It is said that he attends on the poor, and takes no fee from them.-Ibid.

ANNUAL EXAMINATION OF THE PUPILS OF THE GOVERNMENT VERNACULAR SCHOOL AT RAJFORE.-The acting collector of the 24-Pergunnahs, Mr. J. H. Young, accompanied by Mr. Young, assistant collector, proceeded to Rajpore yesterday, the 7th inst., with the view to visit the school, and to distribute prizes. The latter consisted of a silver medal offered by Baboo Golucknauth

Ghose; and several books offered by other inhabitants of the village and its adjacent places. The pupils of the institution had previously been subjected to a careful examination by a learned pundit of the Calcutta Sanscrit College; and they were on this occasion also questioned by the acting collector and his assistant on different subjects, viz., geography, grammar, history, arithmetic. &c., and their answers appeared to them perfectly satisfactory. Mr. J. H. Young himself handed the prizes to the boys, and gave them every encouragement, stating that they are no doubt destined to become Amfah in time. When the business of the Government vernacular school was finished, the officers above-named went to the English school of Rajpore, which was established by subscription some years ago. Some of the boys of this institution were examined by the visitors, and they acquitted themselves in a satisfactory manner. -Ibid.

FREE SCHOOL.-At the annual meeting of the free school, which took place on Friday forenoon, there was nothing done beyond the adoption of the report, the passing of accounts, and the appointment of governors for the year. The parties so elected were C. Congreve, G. F. McClintock, W. Byrne, and N. Campbell, Esquires.-Ibid. Jan. 11.

BENARES.-WEATHER.-1st and 2nd. - Fine bracing cold. Thermometer ranging from 62 to 66 degrees. 3rd.-A change took place in the weather about 10 A.M., cloudy, showing a disposition for wind to veer to the east.-Ibid.

DESTRUCTON BY FIRE OF THE ARTILLERY MESS-HOUSE, MEERUT. We are very sorry to hear of the destruction, by fire, of the artillery mess-house at Meerut. This catastrophe occurred on the evening of the 3rd instant, just as the officers were about to sit down to dinner. A correspondent informs us that some members of the mess were seated round the fire, when one of them, looking up, exclaimed "The house is on fire !"-the chut just above the mantel-piece appeared like a transparency. From this circumstance, we are inclined to believe that the fire must have originated in the combustion of inflammable materials in the chimney; but our correspondent is at a loss to account for it. The party of officers present immediately set to work removing the plate and furniture, and had just got the large table out of the room, when the smoke became so dense as to be perfectly suffocating. The damage done to the house is estimated at about five thousand rupees, exclusive, we believe, of the value of the glass, the wall shades, and hanging lamps, all of which were destroyed.-Ibid, Jan. 12.

THE BARANAGAR SCHOOL, NEAR COSSIPORE. This is a branch school in connection with the Free Church Institution. It has been in operation for the last three years, and has now attained to a high state of efficiency. For a year and a half it was under the charge of Mr. Fyfe, as head-master, and subsequently under that of Mr. Ardwise, assisted by Mr. Ganthony and several native teachers. A few days ago, a public examination of the pupils was held on the premises, in the presence of a respectable European and native audience. Amongst those present we observed Messrs. Hawkins, Byrne, Rose, Clerk, Rev. Mr. Hutton, Dr. Clerk, Dr. Duff, Rev. Messrs. Mackay, Ewart, and Smith, with a goodly number of ladies. All the classes, from the lowest to the highest, were minutely examined, much to the satisfaction of the auditors.-Ibid.

ARMENIAN PHILANTHROPIC ACADEMY.-The twenty-sixth annual public examination of this academy took place on the 11th instant at its premises, Hammaum-lane. There was, as usual, a respectable number of visitors, both Armenian and English, among whom were the Rev. Dr. Isaac, the respected bishop of the Armenian Church, and the Rev. Ter Johannes Catchick. The Rev. Dr. Duff, and Messrs. Talintine, Malchus, and Agabeg, conducted the examination in the Armenian and English departments. The boys in the last department were examined on passages from Milton's Paradise Lost, the Histories of Rome and England-on Mensuration, algebra, geometry, and geography, with the use of the globes. In the progress of the examination, the boys, for the most part, exhibited a knowledge of the English language, and an acquaintance with their various studies, that elicited general satisfaction from the visitors, and reflected no little credit on themselves as well as on those who have the charge of their tuition. After the higher English classes had been gone through, the Armenian classes were next examined, and here the boys, being more at home in their own language, gave their answers and definitions, and made their remarks with a readiness and confidence which drew forth much commendation from those who questioned them. The principal subjects of examination in this department were moral philosophy, universal history, natural history, the psalter and the catechisms of the Armenian Church. Ibid.

FOUND DROWNED.-A few days ago it was mentioned that

Mr. Lowe, chief officer of the brig Essex, had by some means fallen overboard and was drowned. Men were placed on the look out for the body in case it should be thrown ashore. It was recovered on Sunday, and the coroner has issued a warrant for its interment, the brig having left some days and there being no parties in town who can speak as to the way in which he came by his death.-Ibid.

THE BALIAGHAT CANAL The whole extent of the Baliaghat Canal, from the Circular-road to its junction with the other canal, presents the appearance of a dried-up sluice without any water in it. It would appear that it has gradually been growing more and more shallow, in consequence it is now undergoing deeper excavation, and for this purpose has been dammed up at its eastern extremity.-Ibid.

RETURN OF THE INVALIDS.-We understand that a part of the invalids of H. M.'s. service proceed to England in the Ellenborough, Captain Close. Ibid., Jan. 13.

BENARES.-Weather.-Very cold. Thermometer ranging from 62 to 70 degrees between 7 a.m. and noon. On the 6th there was a strong westerly wind blowing all day, which made the roads unpleasant.—Ibid., Jan. 14.

THE BATTA. We have heard that a rumour is abroad to the effect that the whole of the batta of the commissioned officers of the Indian army is to be reduced. We will be bold to say that, however much the Government may be imbued with the necessity for retrenchment, and however urgent may be the instructions from home on this head, no man in his senses would venture on the enforcement of a second breach of the solemn covenant entered into between the court and its military servants as a body. The thing is too preposterous to be entertained even as a rumour. Ibid.

THE LATE GARRISON AT LAHORE.-We believe the following to be a correct list of the stations to which the regiments composing the late garrison of Lahore are to be ordered, though it is possible that change may even now take place in the contemplated arrangement:-The 6th N. I. to Loodheeanah; the 12th ditto to Allyghnr (so that the 15th will be concentrated at Moradabad); the 42nd Light Infantry to Delhi; the 43rd ditto to Meerut; the 45th N. I. to Umballah: the 27th, 47th, and 68th ditto to Ferozepoor.-Ibid.

BENARES.-WEATHER.-Clear sky, wind westerly. Thermometer ranging from 62 to 68 and 70 degrees. Vegetables in abundance; peas, 2 pice a seer: potatoes, 2; cauliflowers, a pice a piece; the very best beef, 4 annas per seer; tongues, 2 annas each; fowls, from 10 to 14 per rupee-Benares Recorder, Jan. 15.

AFFIRMATION AT POLICE-OFFICES ILLEGAL.-We hear that the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of the Queen v. Mohan Lall, the effect of which is to render the substitution of an affirmation for an oath at Police-offices illegal, has placed the magistrates in a dilemma. They can of course no longer receive evidence on the affirmation of Hindoos and Musculmans, and they appear to think that under the regulations of Government they cannot compel witnesses to take an oath; and hence they can no longer safely proceed with their business. All judicial proceedings have, therefore, it is said, been suspended, until the matter is settled by the intervention of the higher powers, to whom reference has been made. We trust that the difficulty in the way of the magistrates will be removed without delay, so that the interruption to the course of justice may be as brief as possible.-Ibid., Jan: 15.

POLICE-OFFICE VIRTUALLY CLOSED.-In consequence of the decision of the Judges in the case of the Queen v. Mohan Lall tried at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, further proceedings at the police-office have been stopped till the reply of Government shall have been received to a communication made by the Justices of Peace in committee yesterday. We have heard that it has been proposed to Government to release all prisoners convicted on evidence of witnesses to whom solemn affirmations were tendered.--Ibid.

MEETING OF THE UNION BANK. The general half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Union Bank was held this day, at noon. The accounts were passed, and a dividend of Rs. 35 per share, being at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum, was declared. The meeting being then made "special," Mr. W. R. Lackersteen was elected a director in the room of Mr. John Storm, resigned.—Ibid. ·

RENEWAL OF OATH-TAKING.-Natives have been employed at the several magistrates' offices for dispensing oaths to native witnesses.-Ibid.

A

THE AMEERS OF SCINDE.-On Friday last, the Ameers of Seinde paid a visit to the Calcutta Medical College, its Hospital and Museum, and expressed themselves highly gratified with the kind attention they met with from Dr. Mouat, the Secretary, and with every thing they witnessed in this noble Institution.Ibid., Jan. 18.

SICKNESS IN ARRACAN.-We learn by the Tenasserim, that much sickness, in the shape of fever, prevails in Arracan, where almost everybody, including sepoys, lascars, and convicts, is laid up. It appears that the people attribute this peculiar insalubrity of the season to the recent volcanic eruption in the province, and that the knowing ones predict either a murrain among the cattle or cholera among the European residents to follow the fever. Ibid., Jan. 19.

INDIAN GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.-The halfyearly meeting of this company came off in the Town Hall last evening, when there was a good attendance, and Mr. John Storm took the chair. The report of the directors was read to the meeting, setting forth that the company now has three boats profitably employed, namely, the Sir Herbert Maddock, the General Mc Leod, and the Assam. The Company have besides bought the Auckland, which promises to prove a good bargain as a cargo and accommodation boat for passengers, her engines having been taken out. Thus there are a spare set of cargo boats ready for immediate dispatch by the first of three steamers that may return from the Upper Provinces. There is a fourth steamer to be launched in a few weeks.-Ibid.

BREACH OF TRUST.-A young Portuguese in the service of the Lord Bishop of Calcutta was given in custody to the police, a day or two ago, for having misappropriated certain moneys intrusted to his care. The prisoner had been sent to pay one year's subscription to the Englishman and Friend of India newspapers, taking with him the money for this purpose. It is stated, that he went to the Englishman office and paid only the amount for half a year's subscription, reserving the remainder, and the sum intended for defraying an advance for a year to the Friend of India, for himself. On returning home, he was questioned about the payment of the money, when he acknowledged to having purchased a variety of articles for his own use, amongst which were a writing desk and a large quantity of sweetmeats.Ibid.

A VALUABLE PRESENT.-We understand that Baboo Deben. dronauth Tagore has presented to the Mahomed Moshen's College at Hooghly, through Dr. Mouat, the Secretary to the Council of Education, a valuable set of models of perspective, which his father, the late Baboo Dwarkanauth Tagore, brought out with him from England. - Ibid.

THE OATH CASE.- Last night's Gazette contains the draft of an Act intended to relieve the magistrates from the dilemma in which the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of the Queen v. Mohan Lall had placed them. The proposed Act declares that the exception in Act V. of 1840, in respect to " Her Majesty's Courts of Justice," does not apply to the Courts of the Justices of the Peace. Consequently, we may infer, that affirm ations administered under the Act of 1840 are legal. - Ibid. Jan. 21.

RETURN OF THE 25TH N.I. FROM CUTTACK.-We understand that the Tenasserim will be despatched in a few days to bring back the detachment of the 25th N.1. which lately proceeded to Cuttack, and which is to re-embark át Pooree on the 31st inst. We trust that the return of these troops may be considered a sign that the disturbances in Goomsoor have been suppressed.— Ibid.

MUNGLEPORE, JAN. 17, 1847.-From a Correspondent.-You will be sorry to hear of poor Duncan's death - it was a melancholy accident. We had made up a boar shooting party on the 12th, and Duncan met us on the Benares-road; in cantering along bis horse bolted and threw him-we picked him up, but he was insensible, and remained so till the evening of the 13th, when he expired. Dr. Machett, who was marching, was in attendance, but he at once pronounced it a hopeless case. He was interred at Raneegunge on the 14th. Poor Duncan was much respected by all.-Ibid.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY'S INSTITUTION.-To the friends of Christian education amongst the natives, it is a cheering sight to witness the annual meetings of the youth under course of education in the different Christian schools. We have lately reported the proceedings of several of the educational institutions in and around Calcutta. We have now to add to the list the first annual examination, since the revival of its operations, of the pupils of the institution of the Established Church of Scotland, which was held at the Town-hall, on Tuesday the 19th. The attendance of natives was, as usual on such occasions, very considerable. The number of European visitors was not inferior to that of former years. Amongst the number were the Hon. Frederick Millett, Member of Council; D. Elliott, Esq., of the Law Commission; Dr. Dealtry, the Archdeacon; J. F. M. Reid, Esq. J. Lowis, Esq., Dr. John Grant, Rev. Messrs. Fisher, Boaz, Lacroix, and Patterson, besides a respectable company of ladies' and gentlemen.

The examination commenced early in the forenoon, the junior

classes being called up and questioned in reading, spelling, geography, &c. Then followed the examination of the two senior classes.

The attainments of the students were tested at some length, especially in scripture and profane history, mechanics, geometry, &c., and although the questions were rapidly put, the replies were promptly, unhesitatingly, and, with scarcely any exception, correctly given, thereby furnishing the best of all proofs both of their own diligence as well as that of their instructors.-Ibid.

THE LATE FIRE AT MEERUT.-There are reasons for believing that the mess-house of the Horse Artillery, which was burnt down on the 3rd inst., was set on fire by an incendiary.—Ibid., Jan, 23.

BRITISH GARRISON AT LAHORE.

Camp Bhyrowal Ghaut, Dec. 24, 1846.-The British garrison which has occupied the city of. Lahore during the last nine months being about to be relieved, the Governor-General feels it to be his public duty to record his high estimation of the discipline and good conduct displayed by all the corps composing the garrison.

2. These troops have gained the approbation of all classes of the inhabitants, and have proved that valour in the field and a generous good temper in quarters are qualities which distinguish the British-Indian army.

3. The Governor-General offers his tribute of just admiration and thanks to Major-General Sir John Littler, K. C. B. for the judgment and firmness he has evinced in the course of the occupation.

4. The service rendered reflects additional lustre on the British arms in time of peace, and demonstrates that there are no difficulties in the occupation of a large city which may not be overcome by strict discipline on the part of the troops, and able management on the part of the commander.

ALLOWANCES TO TROOPS AT LAHORE.

Camp, Lahore, Jan. 7, 1847.-In General Orders by the Governor-General of 12th Feb. 1846, the allowances granted to the native troops serving in Scinde when in the field, by General Orders by the Governor-General in Council, No. 261 A of the 15th Aug. 1845, were extended to the army of the Sutlej, on the occasion of its crossing that river; and in General Orders by the Governor-General in the foreign department, of the 8th March, 1846, those allowances were continued to the native troops left for the temporary occupation of Lahore, as these corps being considered in the field, and liable to move at the shortest notice, were obliged to keep up their marching establishments.

2. Most of these corps having been relieved, the troops now occupying Lahore, under different circumstances, are not required to keep up their marching establishments, and will therefore be placed exactly on the same footing as the troops serving in Scinde, that is to say, they will receive Scinde cantonment allowances while in garrison or cantonment, but will be entitled to Scinde field allowances in addition whenever they march or take the field.

3. This arrangement to have effect from the dates on which the relieving corps discharge their extra establishment.
