not procure the assistance of any of the attorneys, as all of them had declined to take up the case, it being one against one of the profession. The Chief Justice has ordered that the papers put in, should be inspected, and if containing enough to found any charge upon, it should be formally preferred, and the attorney called upon to answer it.-Ibid. April 14.

MARCH OF THE 21ST.-A correspondent informs us that the 21st N. I. arrived at Allahabad on the 6th instant, and halted two days to receive percussion muskets from the magazine, in exchange for those of the old pattern. The regiment expected to reach Banda on the 18th instant, viâ Futtehpore. - Ibid. April 15.

HAIL STORM.-About half-past one o'clock on the afternoon of Monday, a very severe storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, accompanied by hail, occurred at Barrackpore, Serampore, and their vicinity. The fall of this rain, which has for some days been expected, is very opportune for the rice crops in Lower Bengal. Without rain at this time the crops would have failed.-Ibid.

DISALLOWING PRIVATE PRIZES AT THE MEDICAL COLLEGE.— We have heard on good authority, that the Council of Education have come to the determination of not allowing the gifts of prizes and medals from private individuals to the students of the Medical College at the ensuing distribution. - Ibid.

THUNDER STORMS.-We had two more thunder storms on Wednesday evening, one of which was accompanied by a smart fall of hail. The weather has been remarkably cool and pleasant during the past week, and the thermometer in the Hurkaru office stood 79 deg. in the house at seven o'clock yesterday morning. We believe the season is a remarkably healthy one, there having been as yet but very little sickness among the Christian population of Calcutta. - Ibid. April 16.

SIR H. MADDOCK.-We are sorry to hear that his honour the deputy governor while out riding at Barrackpore, two or three days ago, owing to his horse rearing up suddenly, fell and sprained an ancle; but it is with pleasure we state the injury sustained was not serious.-Ibid.

Be

WHO'S TO PAY THE PIPER ?- A circumstance that involves some party for a heavy responsibility, is now on the tapis. tween eleven and twelve months ago, three years' clothing was sent out to this country for H. M. 18th Royal Irish to the Quarter-Master-General of the army. This supply consisted of a variety of articles, such as are in use among the soldiery, and estimated at betwixt seventy and eighty thousand rupees. The Quarter-Master-General, at the time of their arrival, was with the head quarters up the country, and the bales of goods were landed at the Custom-house, where they have since remained, owing to the godowns, which ought to have received them, undergoing repairs. On the goods being landed at the Customhouse, a committee from the fort sat to inspect them, and reported them to be in a sound state; but, some months after, it was discovered, that they had suffered from the depredation of white ants, which had so far injured their contents, as to render them unfit for distribution to the regiment. It is now contemplated, as they are so much damaged, to sell them by public auction; and the question, as to who is to be answerable for the loss that will be sustained, has been referred to the AdvocateGeneral for decision. - Ibid.

"WHO'S TO PAY THE PIPER?"-REVIEWED. In a report which appeared in yesterday's issue, under the heading of Indian News, it was incorrectly stated that the clothing for one of Her Majesty's regiments is at present warehoused at the Customhouse.

We have been since informed that the goods in question have been sold. We learn also that the Advocate- General has not been called upon to give his opinion as to who should pay the piper.-Ibid. April 17.

PURCHASE OF BUILDINGS FOR GOVERNMENT PURPOSES.-We understand that the range of buildings between Boudet's Corner and the Bengal Secretariat Office is to be vacated by the present occupants, and to be used for the accommodation of various Government offices. We believe that Government intends to pur. chase the buildings above mentioned, so that the new arrangement may be looked upon as likely to be a permanent one.Ibid. April 20.

MEDICAL COLLEGE.-We understand that Government, in consequence of their having abolished private prizes in the Medical College, have resolved to give a medal to the most proficient student at the ensuing examination in the following branches : namely, anatomy, surgery, materia medica, chemistry and botany.-Ibid.

THE MACNAGHTEN GHAUT.-We have been informed, on good authority, that the Committee of the Macnaghten Ghaut have selected Juggurnauth Ghaut as the most appropriate place for

the erection of a Hindoo Female Ghaut, and it is said have approved of the plan which has been submitted to them by Messrs. Vos and Terraneau.-Ibid. April 21.

MOFUSSIL.

BARRACKPORE.-On Saturday evening, for about two hours, this station was visited with a very severe storm of rain, accompanied with hailstones as large as that old gentleman " the oldest inhabitant" ever remembers to bave seen. The weather has been cool and pleasant since the storm.-Hurkaru, April 19.

BENARES.-WEATHER.-Very hot in the day, but still plea. sant at night, and early in the morning.-Thermometer 7 a.m. 76 degrees. Noon 84.

The Matabangha accommodation boat, in tow of the Mahanuddy steamer, anchored off Rajghat, on the 5th instant, and landed treasure to the amount of five lakhs of rupees for the use of the Benares treasury. A strong party of cadets, under the command of Captain Moir, were on board; several of the young gentlemen landed here. The steamer made the passage up in eighteen days.

Arrivals.-April 2.-Mr. T. E. Gordon, and Mr. M. C. Pitter, from Goruckpore, Mr. F. Thompson from Calcutta; 5th, Mr. Sutherland from Cawnpore.

Departures.-April 1.-Dr. J. Stokes to Sasseram; 2d, Major Elwall, to Allahabad; 3rd, Mr. Donaldson and Mr. F. Thompson, to Allahabad; 4th, Ensign G. H. Griffiths, to Loodeanab, Ensign J. Gully, to Lahore, and Mr. F. O. Wells, to Mirzapore; 5th, Ensigns Jones and Donovan, to Allahabad; and Mr. Sutherland, to Calcutta.-Recorder, April 6.

Weather-Strong westerly winds in the day. The nights and morning continue cold. Thermometer at 7 a.m. 78; noon 85 degrees.

Our newly-appointed General, to the command of this division of the army, arrived this morning under the usual salute. The General has pro tempore put up with Major Hughes.

The Patna steamer passed down on the 6th instant at 1 p.m. Lieut. col. Foord, who we stated erroneously had taken his passage in another vessel, embarked on board the Patna for this Presidency.

Arrivals.-April 5th, Dr. J. Hope, from Allahabad; 7th, Lieutenant Russell, from Allahabad.

Departures.-April 7th, Dr. J. Hope, to Shurgutty, Mr. H. S. Reid, to Cawnpore, and Lieut. Russell, to Berhampore.— Ibid, April 9.

GHAZEEPORE. - Jail Emeute.-We have just received information that a serious disturbance occurred between the prisoners of the Ghazeepore jail and the police, on the 6th instant. The cause which gave rise to the riot at Jounpore also operated here. The Darogah, in attempting to carry out Mr. Woodcock's regulation for the reduction of diet, was met at once by all the prisoners with a demonstration of sullenness and discontent, and they, with one accord, refused to take the reduced rations, and chose rather to fast, than yield to the commands of authority. They actually abstained from food a whole day. Such a beginning was a fair warning that there would be a crisis, when the irritation had been carried to its highest by agitation among themselves; and a storm did break out, attended by the result which it was desirable to prevent. A division of the prisoners, who were sent out on the roads of the station to execute their daily work, made a sudden and desperate attack upon the burkundazes, who were in charge, with their mattocks and hoes, and a few "letters" they had contrived to pick up conveniently, and without much effort, forced their guardians to seek their security in flight, The prisoners, freed from their restraint, were endeavouring to make the best use of their liberty, when the Collector, Joint- Magistrates, and Judge, who had received speedy intimation of the riot, set out immediately at the station to their aid. The force soon overtook the fugitives, who it seems had not separated, or attempted to effect their escape by concealment. An encounter, therefore, became inevitable-they were attacked, still shewing a firm determination to resist, when five or six being cut down, and several wounded, they made a reluctant submission, and were forced back to their place of confinement. Here, when they were secured, they were each of them punished with stripes. Although, says our informant, the quiet of the place is restored, and the sensation occasioned in the city has subsided, there are signs by which it may be perceived that the worst of passions are awakened, and that more serious consequences may ensue, if systematic plots are suffered to be concocted by inattention.-Benares Recorder, April 9.

JULLUNDER.- Coal.-It affords us the greatest satisfaction to make public the following favourable report from Dr. W. B. O'Shaughnessy, chemical examiner of the specimens of coal, which we did ourselves the pleasure of forwarding for his opinion. We shall take measures for supplying Dr. O'S. with the larger quantity he requires with the the least possible delay :

"Calcutta Mint, March 30, 1847. "My dear Sir,-The coal you obtained from the Julundhur has been examined by Mr. Dodd and myself. It is thickly encrusted and veined with pyrites, so that in the small sample you sent it was with difficulty that a fragment could be obtained sufficiently pure for the determination of the specific gravity.

The subjoined memorandum exhibits the results, which are on the whole satisfactory, and encourage the hope that the same locality will yield coal of considerable value :

The

KIDDERPORE-Dispensary.-The liberal proposal made by Rajah Suttchurn Ghosal, towards the erection of a dispensary at Kidderpore, designed to supply medicines to the inhabitants of that district, as well as those of Allipore, Garden Reach, and the suburbs to the south of the town, has been increased by the subscriptions of a few gentlemen to fifteen hundred rupees. rajah proposes to present a piece of ground for the building, accompanied by a gift of five thousand rupees towards defraying part of the expenses of its erection. An appeal is made to the public generally, but more particularly to the residents of the localities it is intended to benefit, to assist in forwarding the benevolent object proposed by the rajah. Government, no doubt, will give the encouragement required to aid an attempt, that is so well calculated to alleviate the sufferings, that attend all classes of its people in sickness.-Hurkaru, April 15.

NARAINPORE-Destruction of the Salt Golahs.-On Wednesday last, the 14th instant, about two o'clock, P. M., a fire took place at the Narainpore Government Golahs, which, in the short space of about an hour, consumed thirteen salt golahs and twelve aulungs or drying golahs. The fire commenced at one of the chokedah's huts, and on account of the strong wind blowing at the time, communicated to the golahs, and thus destroyed the whole of them. The loss to Government, as it is, must be great, and if immediate measures are not taken to secure the salt now lying exposed, the loss by a shower or two of rain will be much greater, as there must be three or four lakhs of salt on the spot. - Ibid, April 17,

-

OUDE-Silk.-Captain Hollings, the manager of the AgriHorticultural Society at Lucknow, hes sent us specimens of silk produced in Oude, by worms sent up in the egg by a member of the parent society in Calcutta. The silk is of excellent quality and colour, and in its present condition, is said by competent judges to be worth about eight rupees per factory seer. It is, however, altogether too slender in the thread,- a fault easily avoided; and if it were got up of about three times the thickness of the samples sent us, it would, we are assured, fetch a price nearly as high as that of the best produced in Bengal,say from nine to eleven rupees per factory seer. The worms which produced this silk were fed at first on the leaves of the Morus Multicaulis, but afterwards when the supply failed, on those of the common mulberry of the country. Capt. Hollings expresses his readiness to send both silk worms' eggs, and plants of the Morus Multicaulis, to applicants as soon as he able to meet the demand. The plants are from stock sent to Capt. H. by the secretary of the Agricultural Society here. Hurkaru, April 12.

GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORDERS.

SUTTEES.

Foreign Department, Simla, April 7, 1847.-The GovernorGeneral has much satisfaction in publishing the following translation of a proclamation by the Gwalior Durbar, received from the Govenor-General's agent for the affairs of Scindia's dominions, prohibiting the practice of suttee within the territories of Maharaja Scindiah:

Translation of a Proclamation issued by the Gwalior Durbar.

The political agent at Jeypoor, having collected the shastrees, made enquiries of them regarding suttee, and they said that the custom was iniquitous, and then this custom was prohibited by the Jeypoor government. This Durbar had previously issued verbal orders prohibiting this custom, and now a proclamation is issued to the effect that the amil should take precautions, and call on the zumeendars, chowdrees, kanoongoes, and other officers, not to allow a suttee to take place in their villages. If a suttee takes place in any village, and the zumeendar does not give information to the sirkar, such zumeendar shall be imprisoned for 12 years, and if any amil after having received information of a suttee being about to take place, does not prevent it, such amil shall be deprived of his situation.

(Signed,)

ACTING MASTER PILOT GEORGE SPENCE.

At a Court assembled on Friday, the 26th day of February, 1847, Mr. Acting master pilot George Spence was tried on the following charge:

Disobedience of orders in having, when in pilotage charge of the inward-bound ship Lady McDonald, under tug of a steamer, on or about the 21st of January, 1847, between the hours of four and six o'clock p.m., on a flood-tide, passed the Bishop's College, and proceeded considerably above it, without casting off; the same being a breach of the standing orders, as contained in the rules for running pilots, Article 40. By order of the Offg. Supdt. of Marine.

(Signed) JAS. SUTHERLAND, Secretary. Fort William, Feb. 20, 1847.

Finding. Not guilty of the charge, and the Court do therefore most fully acquit him, the said Mr. Acting master pilot George Spence, of all and every part of the charge.

J. J. R. BowMAN, Judge Adv.

Fort William, Master Attendant's Office, March 6, 1847. Minute. In closing its proceedings, the Court desires, in fully and unanimously acquitting Mr. Spence of the charge against him, to express its opinion that on the occasion in question, that officer appears to have discharged his duty with zeal and credit to himself.

(Signed) HY. PIDDINGTON, President. J. J. R. BOWMAN, Judge Adv. Fort William, Master Attendant's Office, March 6, 1847. The Court having thus fully acquitted Mr. Acting master pilot George Spence, and the Hon. the Deputy Governor of Bengal having been pleased to approve and confirm the finding and decision of the Court, Mr. Spence has been ordered to be released from arrest and to return to his duty. By order of the Offg. Supdt. of Marine,

JAS. SUTHERLAND, Secretary. Fort William, Marine Supdt.'s Office, April 14, 1847.

MASTER PILOT JAMES KEY MER.

At a court assembled on Friday, the 5th day of March, 1847, Mr. Master pilot James Keymer, was tried on the following charges:

First Charge.-Conduct highly disgraceful and unbecoming an officer in the pilot service, in having been in a state of intoxication on board the American ship Goodwin, on the evening of the 27th January, 1847, whilst under orders to pilot that vessel

to sea.

Second Charge.-Disobedience of order in quitting the ship Goodwin, after taking pilotage charge on the evening of the 27th of January, 1847.

Third Charge.-Neglect of duty in not reporting to the master attendant, his inability to proceed in pilotage charge of the

American ship Goodwin, until the forenoon of the 29th January, 1847, thereby causing detention to the ship, and heavy expenses to the owners in demurrage for a steamer. By order of the Offg. Supdt. of Marine.

(Signed) J. SUTHERLAND, Secretary.

Fort William, Feb. 20, 1847.

Finding. Not guilty of the first charge; not guilty of the second charge; guilty of the third charge.

Sentence. The court having found the defendant guilty as above specified, do adjudge him, the said Master James Keymer, to be reprimanded.

Fort William, Master Attendant's Office, March 17, 1847. (Signed) HY. PIDDINGTON, President.

J. J. R. BOWMAN, Judge Adv. Remark No. 1.-In reference to the first charge, the Court desires specially to record that it considers Mr. Master pilot James Keymer as honourably acquitted of the charge of intoxication, which it considers as totally unfounded, and that he has produced to the Court satisfactory testimonials of a long and most creditable fulfilment of his duties in every respect during twenty years.

Remark 2nd.-The Court desires to record, in reference to the third charge, that it considers Mr. Master pilot Keymer's offence as having many extenuating features, such as his hope and desire to have rejoined the ship up to the last moment, and the lax practice of forwarding reports to the head clerk instead of directly to the master-attendant; and in consideration of his long and unblemished services as above referred to, beg respectfully and unanimously to recommend him to the favourable consideration of Government.

(Signed) HY. PIDDINGTON, President.

His Honour the Deputy Governor, having been pleased to approve and confirm the finding and sentence of the Court, and to direct that Mr. Master pilot James Keymer be reprimanded, he has been ordered to be reprimanded accordingly, and to return to his duty.
