continued thick and cloudy, the atmosphere being literally loaded with damp. Scattered drops of rain fell at intervals all through the day, and overnight occasionally there were considerable showers. On Thursday morning the roads in many places were almost deep and miry. We believe that no such state of matters as that which existed during the past week has ever been known in Bombay within the period of recorded history. We noted in our last the tempest of wind and deluge of rain that had been experienced at Poona: the same thing had, as will be seen from the subjoined letter, occurred at the Mahabuleshwar Hills. We now look for tidings from the eastern side of the Peninsula, where we should suppose a storm of unusual violence lately to have occurred. We are not aware of how the barometer has stood at the presidency, our own instruments having gone on public duty for the present. Madras gales used to diminish the pressure sometimes to the extent of a quarter of an inch, even when approaching no nearer than to within two or three hundred miles of us. The Observatory used, till within these few months, to furnish returns to the press of unusual atmospheric phenomena. We fear that this extraordinary condition of things-now, we trust, passing awaymay affect the salubriousness of our climate, and disturb the avourable returns the bills of mortality have hitherto affo rded.Ibid. April 24. Since our last, the weather has lost its monsoonish aspect, and become such as might have been looked for in the end of April. The alternating breezes are still irregular, but that we look for at this period of the year. Yesterday was muggy and hot, though the breeze was somewhat strong from north-west. And now accounts of the gale, of which the extraordinary state of matters which prevailed from the 19th to the 23rd were the harbingers, begin to come in. It seems to have raged chiefly on the Malabar coast, where its ravages have been severely felt. Madras papers of the 19th make no mention of storm on the Coromandel We should still be disposed not the less to suspect that it will prove to be one of Mr. Piddington's whirling hurricanes let loose on the upper end of the Bay of Bengal, sweeping across the country, and turning back again as it approached the Malabar coast. From Poona, Malcolm, Peth, Belgaum, and all down the higher grounds, our accounts of thunder and wind-storms, with deluges of rain, are due to a state of atmospheric commotion in the interior, or further east.-Ibid April 28. coast. MISCELLANEOUS. LOCAL. GRANT MEDICAL COLLEGE.-Presentation of the Carnac ana Anderson Scholarships.—The presentation of the scholarships distinguished by these names, took place in the Lecture Amphitheatre of the Grant Medical College, yesterday morning. The Honourable the Governor took the chair at 12 o'clock, supported on his right by Sir Robert Keith Arbuthnot, and on his left by Sir Erskine Periy. Amongst the English gentlemen present on the occasion, we may enumerate the names, besides three Professors, Doctors Morehead, Peet, and Giraud, of the Rev. Messrs. Spring, Mitchell, and Nesbit, Professor Henderson, C. J. Erskine, Esq., and others; amongst the native gentlemen, Cursetjee Jamsetjee, Esq., and Juggonath Sunkersett, Esq. In the seats in front were assembled the students of the college, and a number of native juvenile spectators, from the Elphinstone and Free Church Institutions. The proceedings were commenced by Dr. Morehead reading a statement. After Dr. Morehead sat down, extracts were read by the successful candidates from the written answers alluded to in the statement, and these specimens were such favourable proofs of proficiency in medical knowledge, and excellence in English composition, as to win for the writers the warm approbation of those who listened to them. A viva voce examination succeeded, conducted by Drs. Peet and Giraud, and the Rev. J. M. Mitchell, which was equally satisfactory. At the conclusion of this, the youths to whom the scholarships had been adjudged, came forward and received them of the hands of the hon. the Governor. The proceedings being ended, the hon. the Governor, and all the other gentlemen, visited and inspected the Sir Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy Hospital.--Telegraph, April 14. COLONEL OUTRAM has been appointed to the Residency at Baroda, vacant by the retirement of Sir R. K. Arbuthnot from the service. We wish the gallant Colonel every good thing the service can supply, but we should like, were such a thing compatible with his welfare and that of the State, that a position could be assigned him where his talents and energies might find a larger field for their display, and more profitable subjects of exercise, than the courts of the Sattarah Rajah or Guicowar are likely to supply. We must, in expressing this general wish, add, that we should have some difficulty of suggesting an arrange. ment by which it could be realized.—Times, April 17. NEW ROAD. We understand that the Government of India has sanctioned the construction of the road from Kussaid, at the foot of the Thull Ghaut, to Kindee-a distance (at present very difficult) of nine miles, towards Blewndy. From Kindee to Bhewndee there is already a tolerable road, but one might be constructed shorter by five or six miles. This curtailment has not yet been decided on.- Telegraph, April 21. VISIT OF THE GOVERNOR TO THE CUSTOM HOUSE. - The Honourable the Governor paid a visit to the Custom House yesterday, shortly before the meeting of council. He arrived in a private carriage soon after 11 o'clock, and proceeded to inspect the various departments of the customs. He was accompanied by Lieut. MacMahon, H. Young, Esq., and H. B. E. Frere, Esq. The object of the visit was understood to have especial reference to some contemplated changes, by which the convenience of the public would be very greatly promoted; particularly the removal of the land revenue department to Mazagon, and the consequent addition to the sea customs' department of the space hitherto occupied by the former. The dilapidated condition of a portion of the buildings referred to, however, renders necessary some extensive repairs; and as the requisite expenditure must receive the sanction of the Governor, it was desirable that he should have ocular demonstration of the fact, which was obtained accordingly. The Governor's visit to the Custom House, in addition to the accomplishment of this particular object, has no doubt given him some insight into the working of a very troublesome department, and some idea of the difficulties which beset improvement, but we fear that unless he follows the honoured example of the Caliph Haroun al Raschid, and goes thither once or twice in disguise, he is not likely to become personally eognisant of the amount of progress made in Mr. Young's labour of purification. We hear, by the way, that two Purvoes who granted the import certificates. in the recent case of fraud in cotton, have been ordered to be dismissed. This is a measure of justice which, under the circumstances, could hardly have been avoided.- Ibid. April 22. THE MEDICAL BONUS FUND.-Notwithstanding the opposi tion which was made by our contemporary of the Telegraph to this scheme, we understand that two dissentients only in the whole medical service have presented themselves against it. We have received the following list of adherents from Scinde, and have reason to believe that it is still an imperfect one. A committee is we understand to be immediately organised, of which Dr. Burnes has been requested to be the president, to give effect to this scheme.-Times, April 28. FALSE REPORTS.-There is, we believe, no truth whatever in the rumour that it is the intention either of the hon. the Governor, or of his excellency the Commander-in-Chief, to proceed to the Mahabuleshwar Hills this season. Mr. Clerk had provided himself with a residence at Malcolm Peth, in case the state of his health should induce him to seek change of air during the hot season, but has no apprehension at present of having to resort to it. Sir Willoughby Cotton has quitted Malabar Point, and now occupies the naval captains' Bungalow on the Esplanade. He proceeds to Poona during the rains, and will probably visit the hills in October before the commencement of the general tour of inspection he has promised to make. -Ibid. PARELL GARDENS.-We observe it intimated that the Gover. nor's band will perform in the gardens at Parell on Friday, which will, we believe, be thrown open to the public on the occasion. The majority of the people of Bombay are, we will venture to affirm, altogether ignorant of the fact of the existence of the gardens at Government House, and utterly unsuspicious that some of the retreats they supply are amongst the most beautiful of which the island can boast. The gardens themselves, at all times kept in good condition, have of late undergone numerous improvements, and are now in process of being perfected under the eye of the Governor himself,-a tasteful and accomplished horticulturist. We trust example in high places will produce imitation in low: horticulture has been on the wane with us of late, and the places of Messrs. Giberne, Harry Gordon, Fawcett, Wigram Crawford, and Major Jacob, are, we fear, not likely to be filled for the present.-Ibid. THE PLANET NEPTUNE. - We have much gratification in being able to lay before our readers a notice of the first sight that has been obtained out of Europe of the planet Neptune, the discovery of which has occasioned a sensation in the scientific world scarcely surpassed since the days of Sir William Herschell, and equalled only by the discoveries of Leibnitz and Sir Isaac Newton. Lieut. Jacob is one of the most eminent in this department of science on this side, perhaps at present in any part of India :— SIR,-It may probably interest some of your readers to be informed that the new planet Neptune has been seen at this place. It was seen as early as the 2nd inst., and again on the 5th, when it appeared to have moved a little, but cloudy weather coming on, the observations could not be followed up until lately. It appears as a star of the ninth magnitude, and is distinctly visible in a common night glass. It may easily be found, being 34 deg. south of Aquarii, a star of fourth magnitude, and very near Mars, which will pass it on the 4th May, being then about 14 deg. to the south. The observed places, which are only approximate, are given below: April. 2d at 17h. AR. 22h. 6m. 55s. Decn. S. 12° 11' 0" AHMEDABAD, April 23.-Brigadier Soppitt, commandant of the force at Baroda, has arrived in camp, and took the review of that well-disciplined corps, the 8th, this morning; and it would be injustice to withhold from this good old regiment the eulogy it deserves. It proceeded through the manoeuvres the brigadier was pleased to put it through, in so creditable a manner, as to elicit his approbation. These warlike soldiers, with their dearbought marks of honour glittering on their breasts, are really an ornament to their country; and it suffices to say, that the officer commanding this distinguished regiment is one who deeply interests himself in its credit, and whose main object is to maintain its character in every respect while the adjutant, on the other hand, a smart and intelligent soldier, is its pride-an officer whose zeal and abilities are unquestionable. Superintending Surgeon White has proceeded to Aboo, and has taken the whole of his establishment with him. Mount Aboo, I dare say, is quite full of visitors. It is a place of retreat for the gents in the hot season, or rather a refuge for them from the piercing rays of Guzerat's sun. Colonel Browne, C. B., still commands the station of Ahmedabad, and Lieutenant Ashburner conducts the duties of staff officer. It is rumoured that General Hughes, C.B., is expected to return some time next month. It is to be hoped that the change to the Mahabuleshwur Hills has contributed to his recovery: this will be a source of pleasure to all his friends in Ahmedabad, who are eagerly looking for his return. It will surprise you, no doubt, to hear that we have this day had a light shower of rain, which seems to be attended with a beneficial result, for the weather is remarkably cool. I hope it will continue so, for we are nearly scorched with the heat. You would soon recognise an Ahmedabad-walla from the colour of his phiz. Grain and other commodities are remarkably cheap, and hay uncommonly so. -25th April.-Since my last some few events have taken place, and my news-letter is a little better supplied than last time. On Wednesday morning a salute of eleven guns announced the arrival of Brigadier Soppitt from Baroda, in order to review the 8th regiment N. I., which took place in the following order: the inspection of school and regimental books, &c. at noon on Wednesday; the inspection of the regiment on Wednesday afternoon; ball practice next morning, and the review on Friday morning and really Mr. Editor, the gallant regiment went through the manoeuvres in most beautiful style. They had only a fews days' notice, but that was nothing to them. The Brigadier expressed himself highly pleased with the regiment in every respect. The officers of the corps underwent a great disappointment at the brigadier being unable to accept of their invitation to the review dinner. The brigadier left camp yesterday morning under the usual salute. Ensign Pitcairn, of the 8th regiment, arrived in camp on the 23rd, and with great regret I have to inform you that he was seized with a very severe attack of cholera yesterday morning, from which he is not yet pronounced out of danger; indeed his case was thought hopeless. The last two days we have had thunder and lightning accompanied with rain-a most unusual thing in Guzerat at this season of the year. Brigadier Browne, C. B., leaves for Mount Aboo in the course of a fortnight, and most likely will not return until the first fall of rain; the command of the station will then fall on Major Crozier of the 26th regiment N I. In the town of Ahmedabad I regret to say that cholera has broken out fearfully, and as many as fifty are dying daily, though I am glad to say that but a few cases have appeared in camp, both regiments being very healthy, and it is to be hoped will remain so, for a repetition of last year's sickness would be very sad, General Hughes is expected back next month, which is greatly to be rejoiced at.-Times, May 1. BELGAUM, April 9.-The weather here has during the last week gradually been getting warmer, the thermometer ranging from 88 deg. to 92 deg. at 2 p.m., the afternoon being ushered in by strong squalls from S. W. and N. E., with occasional clouds of dust and whirlwinds. These phenomena were usually followed by heavy clouds, thunder, and lightning, at nights. About four o'clock in the evening of the 7th, the wind increased almost to a storm, accompanied by rattling peals of thunder, which were followed by a fall of hail and rain of an hour's duration. The thermometer before the storm stood at 90 deg. at its conclusion it had dropped to 70 deg. Upwards of half an inch of rain fell. A native man and woman, I hear, were struck by the lightning near the collector's cutcherry, the injury they received proving fatal to them both on the spot. A thunderbolt fell near the grenadier's company's barracks of the Highlanders. The heat was much less yesterday than before the rain, but has again increased to-day. Distant thunder, threatening more rain, was heard during this morning; and whilst I write it is again pouring down in grand style. The health of all the troops at the station is good, though I hear the 78th have to-day upwards of 150 in hospital.-Times, April 17. April 20-It has been raining since the night before last without intermission. On Saturday night, it was blowing a gale, with slight rain, but during yesterday and this day it has been pouring as if the regular monsoon had set in, but it comes from the opposite quarter-the east. It strikes me that there has been a storm on the Madras coast. Mr. Townsend, the revenue commissioner, is here on a tour, and will, it is said, leave in a few days and proceed towards Poonah. Lieut.-col. Reid has returned to Kolapore. General and Lieutenant Morse arrived at Vingorla, on the 15th, on his way to Belgaum. -Telegraph, April 26. April 21-We have seen a letter from Belgaum, dated the 21st instant, which describes the weather to have been very boisterous for some days previously, at and around that station. The fall of rain is described to have been very heavy; and the country below the Ghauts is flooded for several miles on each side of the main road. Large masses of rock have been hurled from their resting places by the mountain torrents, and now impede the track of the Ram Ghaut, which is thereby rendered nearly impassable to wheeled conveyances. Mr. Townsend, the revenue commissioner of the southern division, with his establishment, was still encamped at Belgaum, on the above date. His next move will be towards the coast, and he is expected to arrive at Rutnagherry, about the 10th proximo.Gentleman's Gaz. April 27. DAPOOLIE.From a communication from Dapoolie, dated the 23rd instant, we learn that the quantity of rain which has fallen there, as well as the prevalence of the wind lately, prognosticative of an early monsoon, has completely upset the equanimity of the cultivators, who were in hopes that the change in the moon would insure a return of fair weather. The heat before the fall of rain was most oppressive, and quite animated the reptiles and tribes of insects; and scorpions and snakes might be seen intruding here and there even to the drawing room, to the annoyance and terror of the peaceable inhabitants. The gardens had suffered considerable damages, and the bazaar master's cookroom slipped clean into a well which has been lately dug under its walls.-Gentleman's Gaz. April 27. KOLAPORE.-We learn, by letters from Kolapore, that Col. Reid, C. B., reached that station on the 17th inst., and resumed command of the brigade. It has been raining since the evening of that day, without a minute's cessation, accompanied with a gale of wind from the eastward. The tappal of the 18th had not been despatched up to the 19th, on account of the river! We have some information relative to the station of Kolapore, which, in view of the discussion which has been going on in our columns touching the comparative merits of that place and Belgaum, it may perhaps be well to lay before our readers. There is no road, we are informed, from Rutnagherry to Kolapore, merely a track over a succession of small hills, through ravines, interspersed with scarped rock, and immense large loose stones. About 35 miles from Rutnagherry there is a Ghaut as difficult of ascent as any in India. From the top of the Ghaut to Kolapore the track improves, insomuch as it becomes 'tracks' over a better piece of ground. The carriage to be obtained at Rutnagherry consists of bullocks and bigarris; the latter are generally preferred, as the former cannot go up the Ghaut without they are very lightly laden. The climate of Kolapore is, in the opinion of our correspondents, delightful: they had not experienced one hot hour since their arrival, and could always sit with their doors and windows open, instead of with only one door open, and then obliged to suspend a khus tattie to keep the house cool. The station would appear to have many disadvantages, as all new stations have; the following are particularised : 1st. At present it is not a permanent station. 2nd. No lines are marked out; the consequence of this is, that ground, which could be easily converted into beautiful gardens, is now being cultivated by the ryots. 3rd. Every thing is very dear; and, in addition, people are horribly cheated into the bargain: there is a rupee in circulation (called the Panowlee rupee) the intrinsic value of which is twelve annas, and the Company's sixteen anna rupee is made to circulate with it at par! It is said that this cannot be helped at present, but why not? Surely Government could easily pay the troops in the Panowlee rupee, giving each man rupees twentyfive per cent. in his pay, as it used to be done at Deesa, and is now done at Baroda. 4th. There are only two good houses at Kolapore, and only one in the infantry lines, and the officers are afraid to begin to make themselves comfortable, not knowing how long they may be permitted to remain at the station. For the sportsman, within reach are hog, bears, sambre, tigers, and bison; a short time ago, we are told that a tiger, bison, and hog were killed by a party of officers out on a picnic. The opinion prevails that the European battalion of artillery should be sent to Belgaum for the rains, because there are no substantial barracks at Kolapore for them: the soldiers it is stated are now living in buildings made with chuppers, which are plastered with mud inside and out; and, as it is said to rain very hard and be very cold during the monsoon, it is not thought they will be sufficiently protected. There can be little doubt of the cold, for every house has one fire-place, and some have two. -Telegraph, April 26. MAHABLESHWAR, April 23rd.—I had intended to have written to you ere this, but have been prevented (according to maritime phraseology) by stress of weather. "Mine enemy's dog" I could not have had the heart to send abroad in such weather as we have experienced during the last few days, much less a biped of the human species, to convey a letter to the post office. We continued to be visited with occasional showers of rain till Sunday last, which rendered the atmosphere cool and pleasant, but on that day the sky assumed a more threatening appearance, the sun became completely obscured, and towards evening a storm set in, the like of which has not been seen at this season of the year by the oldest inhabitant of the Hills. The rain continued to descend in torrents during the greater part of Monday and Tuesday, accompanied by violent gusts of wind from the east, and sleet and fog at intervals; and I regret to add that it has been attended with considerable destruction to property. In the Bazar, not less than twenty houses have either fallen in or been partially destroyed, and several bungalows have shared the same fate. This should be a lesson to those who may be afflicted with the building mania, and teach them that pucka built houses are much the most economical in the end; moreover that in a place like this, unsubstantial buildings are positively unsafe, and even dangerous. Mr. Malone, a pensioned Deputy Assistant Commissary, and 8 very meritorious servant of Government, died here on the 21st instant. He had been ailing I believe for some time, and there is no doubt that the change in the weather had been unfavourable to his complaint, and accelerated his end. A great change has, I am glad to say, now taken place for the better, and it is impossible to conceive of any thing more pleasant than the weather we are now enjoying. The air is cold and bracing, the thermometer at mid-day stands as low as 65°, and there is a continued breeze from the west, which is extremely invigorating and refreshing. The waterfall is now perhaps one of the most prominent objects of attraction in this neighbourhood, and will well repay a visit to all lovers of the grand and picturesque. As regards visitors, Mahableshwar may be said to be crammed; so much so that a gentleman, whose house came down about his ears during the storm, was unable to obtain another, for a few days even, for love or money. The lake, as may be supposed, contains a considerable quantity of water, though there is still a good deal of leakage through the bund. Many people lay the blame of this on the engineer, and say that he did not dig low enough for his foundation. There is, however, no foundation for such low remarks, and considering the very porous nature of the stone of which the bund is composed, and the quantity of water it retains till the close of the hot season,-a quantity more than sufficient for all purposes-it may be pronounced to be a very creditable piece of work, both as regards design and execution. The late storm has been very destructive to quadrupeds; and dead buffaloes, tattoos, and donkeys, are lying about in all directions, affording a rare banquet for the jackalls, and pariah dogs, though any thing but pleasing to the olfactory nerves of Europeans. Why are not means adopted for their removal?-Telegraph, April 26. MALCOLM PETH, April 19th, 1847.-As you take so great an interest in all meteorological phenomena, I am induced without preface, to write these few lines, informing you of the extraordinary weather we have had here for the last forty-eight hours. We have recently had a few thunder storms, of I think less severity than usual, and unaccompanied by the usual amount in the fall of rain. I had congratulated myself on the mildness of the storms. However, on Saturday night, a very high wind set in from the east, with a cloudy misty sky, and slight rain at intervals. The wind increased on Sunday afternoon to a gale, and rain gradually came on, and both have continued up to the minute I am now writing-8 p.m. The rain incessant, the wind occasionally moderates a little, chiefly cloudy from the east, and east by south. I have known these hills for ten years, but never saw any thing like this. The thermometer has fallen from 86 deg. to 63 deg. But whence comes this mighty east wind? Has there been a tempest on the Madras side, or elsewhere? Nothing short of this will account for it. The discomfort the rain and wind occasion is extreme: chuppers blown off, ricketty walls coming down; ten bullocks killed outright by the wet and cold; tents blown down, &c. This is no traveller's tale, but a sober statement of facts. Should any thing else remarkable occur, I will add a postscript to-morrow. Since the commencement of the high east wind, there has been no thunder or lightning, which is remarkable, as the electric phenomena here are generally intense.-20th, 8 a.m. Wind somewhat moderated, but still constant rain and mist, and no prospect of any cessation. 4 p.m. Wind moderated, but the rain continues.— Times, April 24. POONA, April 17.—Our good old general (McNeil) left this for Bombay yesterday. His departure was subject of much regret. - Another portion of the 3d cavalry arrived on the 15th, from Panwell, en route to Sholapore. It is now nearly twenty years since the corps, or any portion of it, were in or near Poona.No less than three fires broke out last night :-one house and the school-room in the horse artillery lines, and one in the bazaar, together with a stack of kurbee, valued at Rs. 11,000, were, I hear, totally destroyed. The schoolmaster is said to have sustained great loss. I am told there is only one fire-engine in the whole cantonment: had there been more, probably the loss just sustained by Government might have been partly averted.Small Pox has made its appearance amongst the Hussars at Kirkee: one fatal case has just occurred, but I do not hear of the spread of the disease. The general health of the troops is good.-H. H. the Bhaiza Bhaee has left Owud for Tullagaum, where she intends spending a short time prior to coming in to Poona.-Up to the 16th we had very hot weather; but on the evening of that day a shower of rain of about a quarter of an hour's duration, followed by a hailstorm, occurred, which has materially cooled the atmosphere. — Times, April 23. April 21.-We have had very bad weather lately-continued rain from the night of the 18th up to the present time. It has been the occasion of a great number of buildings, both public and private, being destroyed. On the 19th not less than three and one-fifth inches of rain fell.-Ibid. April 24.
