Mr. HAWES replied, that the concurrence of the Indian Government was not obtained; and he thought he was bound to say that the Indian Government dissented from certain portions of the despatch-not entirely from the whole scheme, but from a portion of it.

Sir J. W. HOGG said that, as far as the Indian authorities were concerned, they were perfectly satisfied with the tone and spirit of the despatch sent out by the noble lord. The despatch was not an ordinance, nor the heads of an ordinance; it only contained instructions to be acted upon and suggestions to be considered by the Mauritius government, who were to report their opinion; and the colonial secretary gave specific orders that those suggestions were not to be carried into execution till the ordinance, whatever it might be, was first sent home for consideration. Nothing could be more fair than the spirit in which the instructions were sent out, although some of them might be such as the Indian authorities could not agree to.

MISCELLANEOUS.

COMPARATIVE VALUE OF TEA.-At the present time it is curious to contrast the present price of that much contemned article Bohea, now declared to be a drug in the market at even 2d. or 4d. per pound, with that it bore exactly 138 years since, when it appears to have been the chief, if not sole quality, then in extensive consumption, to the exclusion of gunpowder, hyson, and flowry pekoe, in name, if not reality. In the Postman and Historical Account, &c., of March 19, 1709, published "for ye author by David Leach, in Elliott's court, in ye Little Old Bailey," is an advertisement of one Richard Fary, druggist at the Bell, in Gracechurch-street, offering good coffee at 6s. 8d. per lb., and sound Bohea at 16s. 4d. per lb., "except the Bohea tea by the ship Loyal Bliss, now on her passage, which none is equal to," and is declared to "exceed most that is sold at 20s.” This is succeeded by a second announcement from some renowned dealer "at ye Star, in Bedford-court, near the Coventgarden," offering the finest Bohees in the kingdom at 14s., 16s. 8d., "Bobee for milk" at 16s., and the "finest Bobee" at 20s.. and which prices, too, must have been somewhat heavier when the comparative value of money and articles at that time and now is taken into consideration.-Times.

THE OLDEST LIEUTENANT IN THE NAVY.-At Lancaster, on the 29th of December, 1846, died Lieut. John Denis De Vitre, R. N., in the 90th year of his age, for many years the oldest lieutenant in Her Majesty's service. This veteran entered the naval service in 1770, and in 1781 was made a lieutenant at Bombay. Between the periods of 1778 and 1781 he was actively engaged in the East Indies, under his friend and patron, Admiral Sir Edward Hughes, and was in several severe engagements with the combined fleets of France and Hyder Ali. In the latter year, when lieutenant of the Chaser, 18-gun ship, and whilst cruising off the Madras coast, she was fallen in with by the Bolona, French frigate, of 36 guns, and after engaging her in a severe but unequal contest, for two hours and upwards, was compelled to surrender. For four months the officers of the Chaser were kept as prisoners on board the French vessel, but were afterwards most unjustifiably transferred to the tender mercies of Hyder Ali, under whom it is well known all English prisoners were most cruelly treated. Lieutenant De Vitre was chiefly confined in a loathsome dungeon at Bangalore, but was occasionally marched under a vertical sun to other places of confinement whilst heavily laden with irons; and his prison allowance was gradually reduced to three pice a day, wherewith to eke out a miserable existence. He was subjected to these cruelties for nearly two years. Many were the brave who at this time sank under their privations and sufferings; and the subject of this brief sketch continued, for some years after his return home, in a weak and shattered state of health. He afterwards proceeded to the West Indies, but his health giving way he was invalided home, and never again resumed active service, excepting for a very short period, when he commanded the Biter gunbrig at the mutiny of the Nore. Notwithstanding all these hardships, he attained the very advanced age above recorded; and it is believed that he was the last survivor of all the British prisoners who had been in confinement under the tyrant Hyder Ali, or his still more inhuman and perfidious successor, Tippoo Sultan.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.-We understand that the Government have determined at once to supersede the miserable Admiralty mail packets employed between Malta and Marseilles, and that the Peninsular and Oriental Company are to convey the overland mails between those ports.

THE TEMPERANCE PRINCIPLE AT SEA.-The Columbus of London, Captain Edie, arrived at Plymouth on the 31st of December, having left Calcutta on the 9th of July. The ship

sailed on the temperance principle, which, however, does not appear to work so well at sea as it is reported to do on land. The Columbus did not touch anywhere or speak to any ship on the passage; before she had reached the latitude of the Western Isles, scurvy broke out among the crew, of which one man died. On the 22d of December, in heaving to, they lost their maintopsail, had their top-gallant bulwarks carried away, and cookhouse damaged, after which last accident the want of some exhilirating drink on board was most especially felt. The vessel was under close reefed topsails for nearly a month, the crew being fearful of shaking the reefs out lest they should not have strength to take them in again. On her arrival in port five of her crew were taken into hospital.

WHEAT, ETC., IN INDIA.-A letter in the Times, of a recent date, gives a comparison of the prices of wheat, &c., in India und England, of which the following is an abstract: — Bengal. England. Wheat, per 2s.

Wheat, per rupee

Flour Dhall

62 lb. 47 lb. . . 57 lb.

Flour

Peas

"

17 lb.

11 lb. 19 lb.

The prices in Bengal were the averages of July, 1845, those in England the averages of November, 1846; the writer states that this circumstance need not influence the comparison, as it is understood that the prices in Bengal in 1846 were as equally low as those of the previous year.

COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, BOMBAY.-Sir Willoughby Cotton has been appointed to the commander-in-chiefship of the East India Company's forces in the Bombay presidency.

THE 31ST.-The left wing arrived at Chatham on the 13th; they embarked at Calcutta, on board the Plantagenet, on the 3rd of August last, but did not sail till the 2nd of Sept., in consequence of an accident to the vessel.

MR. LAING.-The Observer states that this gentleman, formerly a stipendiary London magistrate, has been appointed magistrate in Australia.

IBRAHIM PASHA, previously to his departure from this country, forwarded a check for 500l. to the Lord Mayor (Alderman Johnson) for distribution among the city poor.
