LITERARY NOTICES ARRIVAL OF MAILS. 475 475 475 The mails from Bombay were brought by the Acbar, which left that place on the 20th of June, and arrived at Aden on the 4th of July. They were then transhipped to the Atalanta, which left the last-named place 5th July, and reached Suez 15th, and Alexandria 18th, whence they were conveyed by the Ariel to Malta, where they arrived on the 24th. The Marseilles portion was thence forwarded by the Volcano, arriving at its destination on the 29th. The Erin, with the remainder, was to leave Malta 25th July, and may be expected at Southampton 6th August. The Flamer, with the London mail of July 24th, left Marseilles 28th for Malta. The Moozuffer, with the London mail of April 24, reached Bombay May 27, from Aden. The Semiramis from Suez with the London mail of May 7, reached Bombay June 6. [PRICE 18. with GHOLAB SINGH, by which the Hazarreh country is transferred to British rule. The people of the country have manifested a strong dislike to the chieftain above named. It may be suspected, indeed, that the wily old intriguer is not very popular anywhere. As a compensation for the loss of the Hazarreh country, he has received the district of Kurree Kurrealee, and one or two others, valued in the whole at three lacs of rupees. Lieut. H. EDWARDS had returned from his mission beyond the Indus, and, it is surmised, without effecting the object of it. An armed demonstration in the cold season is talked of, for the reduction of the disturbed districts to complete subjection. Colonel LAWRENCE had meditated a visit to Kashmir, but had not undertaken it, in consequence of the pressure of his duties. Sir JOHN LITTLER, whose appearance at Lahore had given rise to so many rumours, had departed, after making a military inspection; proceeding, in the first instance, to JULLUNDUR, and from thence to SIMLA, where he was to remain during a part, at least, of the rains. Both the GOVERNOR-GENERAL and the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF continued at Simla. The pith of the latest news from AFFGHANISTAN is embodied in the following passage from the Delhi Gazette of the 5th of June: "Of Kabul news there is very little, save that the Ameer is engaged in trying to settle the contentions of his sons and nephews, all of whom want to be governors.' His Highness had sent for Sirdar Goolam Haider Khan, full brother of the late Wuzeer, and Governor of Jelialabad, to assist him. It is added that the Ghilzaie insurrection, though to all appearance at an end, is, in reality, only partially suppressed, and still smouldering. Sirdar Reheem Dil Khan, of Kandahar, was expected at Kabul, and may, it is supposed, come on to Peshawur, to see his brother Sultan Mahomed Khan; the latter has, we are assured, no idea of visiting Kabul, but is engaged in inspecting his jagheer in the Doaba." The same journal gives a very pacific representation of the state of affairs in Peshawur, which may be interesting to some of our readers :: "A native friend, well versed in the English language, who has lately travelled towards Cabul, and on whose means of information we can place considerable reliance, writes us from Peshawur, under date the 21st May, to correct a few mistakes into which he maintains we have fallen, and to give us his notions of the present state of affairs in the province, and beyond the Khaiber. He tells us that Ursulla Khan, who gave the Sikh authorities so much trouble, is now a refugee in Hindustan; that his son, Behram Khan, who was, with other disaffected Yoozoofzaie chiefs, a prisoner in the fort of Attock, has been released by the assistant to the Resident, on furnishing security for his good behaviour, and that himself and late fellow prisoners are doing good service to Lieut. Lumsden in their own country. Our correspondent says that at the time of his writing there was not one man in rebellion in the whole province, which speaks remarkably well for the present regime. The chupao alluded to in our issue of the 12th of May, was made on Dawa Khan, a refractory zumeendar, who has, since the occurrence narrated, given himself up, and not on Deerea Khan, who escaped from Govindghur, and surrendered to Major Lawrence shortly after his arrival in the province: he is now quietly living in his own fort, which has been restored to him. Chiefs who never submitted to the Sikhs before have now made their obeisance, either to the British officer in person, or through him to the Governor. 'Such a state of quiet as Peshawur now enjoys has not been known for many years; all oppression has ceased, and the soldiers, who, I am told, used to do just as they pleased, and make every man's property insecure, helping themselves at will from the shops in the town and the houses of the villagers, are now orderly and most obedient, probably because they are regularly paid, and kept only one month in arrears.' This is a most satisfactory sketch of the present state of affairs. The weather is said to have been unusually favourable. We wish our friend had had a thermometer, so as to enable us to judge more accurately of his ideas of an agreeable season. Grain of all kinds is said to be very cheap, probably because there is at present no outlet for the superabundant supply. The territories of the NIZAM continue much as usual. Those who have paid any attention to the subject will not require to be told that it is only according to the degree in which the incidents of debt, defalcation, mutiny, and tumult prevail, and are mingled, that any variation ever takes place in the dominions of the Imperial "Composer of the State," who is never able to compose his own. From BENGAL it is stated that "the prospects for the indigo crop continue favourable on the whole." From MADRAS we have scarcely a word; nor was it likely that we should receive much intelligence, as the date of advices is but two days later than that of the last mail. The long interval which has passed since we had any arrival direct from BOMBAY has not produced any great accumulation of news, and, on the whole, we have little from British India, except the gratifying information of its general tranquillity. As evidence of this tranquillity, and of the belief existing in its permanence, we may refer to the continued reduction of the army, which is thus adverted to in the Bombay Times: "One of the most remarkable events of the month is a further reduction of our army, which, for the first time within these eight years, promises to make our income equal to our expenditure. By reductions which had occurred since March last something under forty thousand sepoys had been struck off the strength of the army -effecting a saving of about 300,000l.-leaving us about two bundred and thirty thousand in all, or seventy thousand more on our muster-roll than we possessed from 1831 to 1838. Six regiments of the Royal army, whose services it is supposed can be dispensed with, are now to be sent home; this will save us from 250,000l. to 300,000l. a year more, or considerably above half a million on the whole reduction; leaving us still sixty-four thousand men above our former peace establishment. Our income had within the year been increased, from various sources, by about 900,000l., so that the total million and a half just meets the deficiencies experienced during bygone years." It is fortunate that we have to look beyond our own territories for matter of excitement, and somewhere or other we may generally find it. "The French in COCHIN CHINA," is the title of this mail's melodrama; we have had a programme of the plot before us for some time past; now we have the affair in extenso. Our readers will find in another place the French semi-official account of the transaction, with a very indignant, and we have no doubt a very just, commentary on it from a correspondent of the Bengal Hurkaru, resident at Singapore. We commend both to perusal, but there can be little doubt that the attack of the French was one of those wantonly wicked acts of military slaughter in which modern heroes of the great nation appear to delight, though their repetition is bringing on the French name a degree of disgrace indelible as it is deep. The gasconading account of the murderous proceedings is in the usual style of such articles, from the days of the far-famed Brussels Gazette, through those of NAPOLEON'S bulletins down to our own times, graced as they are, by the manifestos of that great commander who has been so long looking after ABD-EL-KADER without being able to catch him. BENGAL. MISCELLANEOUS. LOCAL. TEACHERS FROM CAMBRIDGE.- We understand that two teachers whom the Bengal Government sent for from Cambridge, at the request of the Council of Education, arrived by the last steamer. One of them will join the Metropolitan College at present.-Hurkaru, June 9. MOFUSSIL. BENARES. Weather.-A continuation of easterly winds. Occasional lightning, with some thunder clouds accumulating rain to relieve the sterile appearance of the fields. Rather cool the last two nights, which shows there has been rain not far off. Thermometer 88 to 90 degrees. Arrivals.-May 29th, Baboo Seonarian, from Calcutta, and Reverend Mr. Quarterly, from Ghazeepore. Departures.-May 31st, Major R. Hill, to Muhuria Alla; 30th, Ensign Paget to Lahore.-Recorder, June 1. HOOGHLY.-Death of Juddonath Doss.-Baboo Juddonath Doss, who died about a week or ten days ago, at Hooghly, of fever, was by far the most distinguished student of the Hooghly College. He gained at the last examination the Governor General's prize of books. He was equally eminent in science and in literature. His death will be severely felt in the Hooghly College. He was not only gifted with remarkable talents, but distinguished for a degree of modesty not very usual amongst successful native students.-Hurkaru, June 9. RAJPOOTANA-Suttee. We very much regret to learn that the efforts of Colonel Sutherland to put down the practice of Suttee, throughout the states of Rajpootana have, in a recent instance, been unsuccessful. For some time past, Colonel Sutherland has been exerting himself to procure the issue of a proclamation rendering it a penal offence for any person in Marwar to assist in this horrid rite. His efforts were so far successful, that he procured the consent of the Maharaja of Joudpore and his ministers to the issue of the proposed proclamation, but he was unable to gain the concurrence of the Rajpoot chiefs of Marwar to the proposition, although, he frequently discussed the matter in their assemblies, and endeavoured to place before them in a clear light the enormity of the rite. It appears that the Maharaja has not himself the power to issue a proclamation of this nature, which requires the consent of the chiefs, which must be issued as their united act before it can have any force. Hitherto, Colonel Sutherland has been, as announced from time to time, in these columns, eminently successful in his endeavours to procure the suppression of this practice in Rajpootana, and we believe, he has still great hopes of being able, ere long, to effect this desirable object. The success of his efforts to suppress infanticide in that quarter are well known, and it will afford us much pleasure to learn that he has also succeeded in suppressing Suttee in that hot-bed of orthodox Hindooism. There is no man better qualified for the task than Colonel Sutherland, with whom it has been a primary object through life. Meanwhile, it is somewhat satisfactory to know that Suttee is now much less prevalent in Marwar than it was some years ago, and that a comparison of the number committed, during the last year, with those committed a few years back, shews a marked difference in favour of the past year.-Delhi Gaz., May 29. RAJSHYE.-Removal of Vernacular School.-We understand that, agreeably to an order of the Bengal Government, the Vernacular School, established at the sudder station of this district, has been removed to Pootea, a place half-way between Bauleah and Nattore, where it will be better appreciated by the people. Raja Bhyrubindronaran Roy, a rich zemindar, having liberally given a school-house, the vernacular teacher, Juggudishur Goopt, was directed by the collector to Pootea, and open the new Patshalla which commenced its operation on the 1st instant.Hurkaru, June 9. THE DOOAB.-The Great Ganges Canal.-Six months ago, we were twitted in more than one quarter (the Friend of India, usually accurate on matters of finance, was one of them), with the extreme improbability of our announcement that a considerable portion of the loan which the government had then restored to improve their funds, would be appropriated to the works of the Great Ganges Canal. It will, we presume, be admitted, without any hesitation, that any present grant of money, in excess of that hitherto allotted for the purposes of this canal, must, especially if of any considerable amonnt, come out of the sums which have been borrowed, the ordinary expenditure having considerably exceeded the ordinary revenue of the state. The amount placed of late at the disposal of the executive engineer for the Ganges Canal, has been two lakhs per annum, hardly sufficient to keep the current works in repair, much less to proceed in a manner likely to afford a return in any thing like a reasonable space of time, and this amount, having been permanently sanctioned, has, we should presume, been included in the table of ordinary expenditure. Great therefore has been our satisfaction to learn that the Government have, very recently, sanctioned the expenditure of no less than thirty lakhs per annum for these important works, which must now progress at a rate calculated to ensure the speedy completion of Captain Cautley's magnificent plan for improving the irrigation of the Doab to an extent which will not only prove extremely favourable to the cultivator, but immeasurably advantageous to the resources of Government in a financial point of view. A similar grant for three or four successive years surely to enable the engineers to complete the canal, and the moment the finishing hand is applied will the returns commence. Who is there in India who will not rejoice at such an appropriation of the funds at the disposal of the Government? It is only to be regretted that the object (in whole or in part) for which the loan had been re-opened, was not explained to the public at the time the measure of borrowing was resolved upon, because we feel convinced that had such been the case, the treasuries would have received double the amount actually subscribed towards the new loan, if not more. The native monied men especially would have come forward with much more alactrity than has, we believe, been the case.-Delhi Gaz., May 29. GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORDERS. DEVICES FOR THE CENT PIECES, ETC. Fort William, Financial Department, May 28, 1847.-Notification.-Notice is hereby given, that the following devices have been approved and ordered by the president of the council of India in council, for the cent, half-cent, and quarter-cent pieces, to be coined and issued from the Calcutta mint, for currency in the settlements of Penang, Singapore, and Malacca, under the provisions of Act VI. of 1847.

On the obverse, the same as in the cent and half-cent. On the reverse, the value of the coin "Quarter-Cent" encircled by a wreath, with the words "East-India Company" round the margin. By order of the Honourable the President in Council, J. A. DORIN, Secretary to the Government of India. OFFICERS OCCUPYING DAK BUNGALOWS. Fort William, Home Department, June 5, 1847.-Notification. -The permission granted by the notification of the officiating postmaster-general of Bengal, dated June 9th, 1843, to officers travelling at the public expense to enter as a contingent charge in the bill for their dak expenses the amount paid by them for occupying dak bungalows, having caused the Government to be charged with the payment of expenses other than those necessarily attendant on travelling, the president in council pleased to resolve, in modification of former orders on this subject, that in future, officers, though travelling at the public expense and on duty, shall not be exempted from the prescribed charge for the occupation of the staging bungalows whenever they may avail themselves of the accommodation afforded by them. Finding. The Court having maturely weighed and considered all that has been adduced in support of the prosecution, as well as what has been brought forward on the defence, is of opinion that the defendant, Mr. Master Pilot F. E. Bond, is guilty of the charge. Sentence. The Court having found the defendant guilty, as above specified, do adjudge him, the said Mr. Master Pilot F. E. Bond, to be reprimanded. Fort William Mr. Attendt.'s office, the 25th day of May, 1847. (Signed) (Signed) HY. PIDDINGTON, President. J. J. R. BOWMAN, Judge Advocate. Minute by the Court. -The Court having found Mr. Master Pilot F. E. Bond guilty of the charge, desire to record their opinion, that the knoll upon which the barque Dorothea was lost was entirely a new formation, as shewn by Mr. Bedford's survey and charts. They desire however further to add, that Mr. Master Pilot F. E. Bond appears to have taken an unnecessary risk in proceeding so far down at the time of tide at which the accident occurred, and that he very blameably proposed to the captain of the Dorothea, when crossing the ridge, about an hour or two before the accident, "to take his risk," which is highly irregular, and they trust will in future be unheard of. (Signed) HY. PIDDINGTON, President. The proceedings having been submitted to Government, his honour the deputy-governor has been pleased to intimate his regret that he is unable to concur in the finding, or to approve the sentence pronounced by the Court." The officiating master attendant has been directed to release Mr. Master Pilot F. E. Bond from arrest, and to allow him to return to his duty. By order of the officiating superintendent of marine, First Charge.-In havingthrough negligence or ignorance when, in pilotage charge of the ship Carnatic, on or about April 22, 1847, between the hours of four and six o'clock P.M., caused the said ship Carnatic to take the ground in the river Hooghly, on or near the sand known as Willoughbary Sand, and thereby endangered the safety of the ship and cargo. Second Charge.-Conduct highly unbecoming the pilot of a ship when under weigh, in being seated in a chair with his feet on the poop rail, and occupied in smoking a cheroot when the ship took the ground, as stated in the first charge. Third Charge.-Disobedience of orders and neglect of duty in not having inserted in his report of the grounding of the ship Carnatic on or about April 22, 1847, on or near the Willoughbary Sands, either the ship's draught of water or the time of tide, the same being in breach of article 38 in the rules for running pilots. By order of the officiating superintendent of marine, Fort William, May 4, 1847. Finding.-The Court having maturely weighed and considered the evidence brought forward in support of the prosecution, together with that adduced on the defence, is of opinion that Mr. Mate Pilot G. Noakes is 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 Mr. Mate Pilot G. Noakes, to be severely reprimanded. (Signed) H. PIDDINGTON, President. (Signed) J. J. R. BowMAN. Fort William, Master Attendt.'s office, the 18th May, 1847. The proceedings having been returned for revision of the finding on the 1st and 2nd charges, the Court adhered to their original decision, which his honour the deputy-governor has been pleased to confirm. The officiating master attendant has been directed to release Mr. Mate Pilot G. Noakes from arrest, and to allow him to return to his duty.
