NATIVE ADDRESS TO A EUROPEAN Yesterday, at eleven o'clock, a numerous and highly respectable assemblage of the principal European and native inhabitants of this island took place at the house of Sir Charles Forbes, Bart., in Forbes-street. Their object was to present an address to John Bowman, Esq., who proceeds by this day's steamer to Europe. It is not necessary to enumerate all the élite of the society of Bombay, who were present. Amongst the members of the civil, military, naval, legal, and mercantile professions, were Sir D. Pollock, Sir R. Oliver, R. N., Gen. Barr, Colonels Jervis, Manson, and Seton; Messrs. Escombe, LeGeyt, Simson, Luard, and other members of the C.S; Major D. Davidson, Captains Lynch, I.N. Swanson, H. Barr, Curtis, &c.; Doctors Don, Rooke, Bremner, &c., and Messrs. Crawford, Cowie, &c., together with a vast number of the leading native gentleman. The much-talked-of Ramlall was a prominent object of curiosity. He took his seat in the centre of the room-apparently quite at his ease. He is a good-looking, gentlemanly man of about forty years of age. At half-past eleven o'clock, the large room being filled, Mr. CRAWFORD, the barrister, addressed Mr. Bowman, and, in a few words, stated that he was requested by the native gentlemen to present to him the address in their name. He then read the following address :— "To John Bowman, Esq., &c. &c. &c. "Dear and Respected Sir,-The Native Merchants of Bombay, on the occasion of your approaching departure to Europe, cannot refrain from giving expression to their sentiments of heart-felt esteem and regard towards yourself. "From motives of respect to that innate delicacy of feeling which has throughout our intercourse distinguished you, prompting you to shrink from publicity-to 'do good by stealth and blush to find it fame '-we do not enter into a detail of the numerous benefits for which the native mercantile community of this island are indebted to your public efforts and private counsels; benefits which have done honor, alike to your experience and ability as a merchant, and to your distinguished goodness of heart,-calling forth at once gratitude and admiration. "After a residence among us of more than twenty years, you now return to your native land, where it is our earnest hope, and prayer to God, that you may long enjoy in prosperity, comfort, and happiness, the well-earned fruits of your past life of labor and usefulness. Amid our regrets at losing so kind a friend and valuable an adviser, we have the consolation of thinking that you go to join him-the head of your great house, and preeminently the friend of India,' (whom God long spare) to participate in, and give effect to, his never-tiring efforts for the good of the millions of this great continent.-Believe us, dear and respected Sir, to be, with much respect, your obliged and faithful Servants." (Signed by upwards of 500 of the principal native merchants of all classes.) Bombay, 1st Jan, 1847. We subjoin Mr. Bowman's reply, which was read with evident signs of suppressed emotion : "To the Native Merchants of Bombay. "Dear Friends,-I thank you most sincerely for your kind and gratifying address to me, on the occasion of my approaching departure to Europe. "Our intercourse has now extended over a space of nearly twenty-two years, during which period I have had constant and just reason to know and value the worth and integrity of the native mercantile community of Bombay. in their very large and varied transactions with the house of which I am a member; honourable qualities which had long previously been tested and acknowledged by those who have preceded me in the firm, and by no one more fully than by your noble-minded and warmhearted friend, Sir Charles Forbes. "From my earliest introduction to you, I have ever felt pleasure in aiding my native friends with the best advice which I could offer for their protection and happiness. "That I have been successful, your present address, and this great assembly, justify me in believing; and I need not assure you how deeply and truly I appreciate this, the return you now make to me. "In again offering to you my warmest thanks, I will add my fervent wishes for the welfare and happiness of you and yours. "Your sincere friend, "JOHN BOWMAN. "Bombay, 1st Jan., 1847." -Telegraph and Courier, Jan, 2. MISCELLANEOUS. -ABATEMENT OF CHOLERA. It is a matter on which we may congratulate ourselves and our readers, that not a single case of cholera has been reported at the police office for the last hree months.-Telegraph, Dec. 16. SURAT.-Sir Erskine Perry left Surat for Guzerat on the norning of the 12th instant, intending to make a stay at Broach for a day or two. Fever had been prevailing at Broach, and Messrs. Corfield and Rogers had been suffering from it, but had recovered previous to the despatch of the last letter.-Gent.'s Gaz. Dec. 17. CONVALESCENCE OF CAPT. RENNIE.-It gives us much pleasure to learn, by letters received from Surat, that Captain Rennie, of the 19th regiment N. I. who had been suffering from brain fever and whose life was during some days almost despaired of, has so far recovered as to be at present considered out of danger.-Ibid. RAINS. Heavy but partial showers of rain have, during tome days past, fallen in different places of this presidency. At Poona, during the latter part of last week, a considerable quantity fell. In the island of Bombay, a heavy shower, or rather a water-spout, discharged itself near Mazagon, about three o'clock in the morning of Tuesday. The proximity of the clouds surcharged with rain, will account for the great coolness of the atmosphere, which is felt occasionally in this island. -Ibid. ARRIVAL OF HORSES FROM THE CAPE-By the barque Eden, which arrived from the Cape yesterday, a large number of fine horses have been brought to Bombay.-Telegraph, Dec. 18. 66 OPIUM GAMBLING IN THE SUPREME COURT.-We understand that upwards of 200 notices, prepared by the law-advisers of Ramlall, were issued yesterday morning to the repudiators." This looks like going to work in earnest. The excitement in the bazaar is increasing. The defaulters carry their heads high and stoutly refuse to pay. They held a long consultation yesterday in the fort. The paper of agreement which we mentioned in Wednesday's article, contains, we are informed, a clause, to the effect that each subscriber binds himself to pay an equal share of the legal expenses that may be incurred in defending the actions brought against their party in the Supreme Court. There is a good deal of grumbling against this clause, chiefly on the part of the Marwarries-many of whom signed, it is said, without reading the paper, and now desire to be off this part of the agreement alarmed at the expensive game about to be played.-Gent.'s Gaz. Dec. 19. BARODA.-Letters from Baroda mention the arrival of Sir Erskine Perry at that station, en route to Mount Aboo. He had been saluted with fifteen guns on entering the cantonment. -Times, Dec. 23. SURAT. We have received accounts from Surat to the 21st instant. The 1st troop of horse artillery, on its way from Poonah to Deesa, had encamped at Bracha on the 16th, and next day it marched towards Broach. The overland news of the 7th ultimo had reached Surat on the 18th. There had been rain, with thunder and lightning, on the 19th, and the weather had subsequently become very cold. The steamer Sir Charles Forbes arrived from Bombay on the evening of the 20th, and the Sir J. R. Carnac was to start on the following day, the Bukshee of Surat proceeding in her as a passenger.- Telegraph, Dec. 24. REMOVAL OF THE CUSTOM-HOUSE.-We understand that a petition is in course of preparation, by the native merchants of Bombay, deprecating a removal of the custom-house establishment to Colabah. — Ibid. TRIAL FOR MURDER.-The steamer Sesostris started at nine o'clock yesterday morning for the Persian Gulf, having the officers on board who are to constitute the tribunal for the trial of the sailor who is accused of having murdered an Arab there.Gent''s Gaz. Dec. 24. NEW DIRECTOR OF THE BANK.-We are informed that A. G. Latham, Esq. of the house of Messrs. Ewart, Lyon, & Co. was yesterday elected a director of the Bank of Bombay, in room of Robert Wigram Crawford, Esq. resigned.-Telegraph, Dec. 25. CIVIL SERVANTS.-The opinion of the law officer of the honourable Company at this presidency has, as it is reported, been taken as to the line of conduct which the Bombay Government ought to adopt in relation to certain charges of “ malversation" brought by a civil servant of high standing against another of higher rank. If we are correctly informed, the opinion of the legal gentleman is, that the Government of this presidency has no authority to stop the proceedings in this case, which must be thoroughly investigated. We have not learned the course which is to be adopted in this important matter; but when an experi❤ enced judge brings such charges against his superior, it is evident that the proceedings must be conducted with the utmost care.Gent.'s Gaz. Dec. 25. COURT OF INQUIRY.-We understand that a Court of Inquiry has been ordered to examine into the conduct of an officer, who was one of the passengers on board the steamer Queen, during her last voyage from Suez to Bombay.-Ibid. THE OPIUM GAMBLING.-We learn with much pleasure that there is a willingness exhibited to effect a compromise, and that the "repudiators" have at length begun to see their error, and are making an approach towards a settlement. Arbitration seems now to be their favourite. They who lately took high ground in proud opposition, cannot at once stoop to ask for favours or concessions. They are nevertheless disposed to make arrangements, and the sooner the better, for they will thereby spare themselves the heavy expenses, which they are now incurring daily, and for no possible good. We therefore hope to hear of a speedy termination of this foolish proceeding for payment will be enforced by the law courts-as there can be no doubt of the validity of the contracts.-Ibid. NEW ATTORNEY AND SOLICITOR.-As soon as the Chief Justice entered the Court of small causes on Thursday, Mr. Charles Pollock was sworn in as attorney and solicitor of the Supreme Court.- Telegraph, Dec. 26. SURAT. By the steamer Sir Charles Forbes, we have letters from Surat of the 25th instant. A general review of the 19th N. I. by Major Cook had taken place on the regimental paradeground, on the afternoon of the 23rd instant, when a great number of the inhabitants assembled to see the "Tumasha." The 4th troop of horse brigade, en route from Deesa to Poonah, arrived at Bracha on the morning of the 26th for the southward. The judicial commissioner, Mr. Hutt, and the revenue commissioner, Mr. Langford, were daily expected to arrive, the former gentleman overland, and the latter gentleman by sea from the southward. - Ibid. Dec. 28. MEESRS. LUARD AND SIMSON.-As a good deal of interest appears to be felt on the subject of the charge understood to have been preferred by Mr. Luard against Mr. Simson, of the civil service, we shall make no apology for stating what we have heard concerning it, for the information of our readers ;-promising, however, that although our intelligence is likely to be substantially correct, it must not, in the meantime, be relied on as unimpeachably accurate. The report has been, for some days past, that the Advocate General has advised Government to the effect that the charge is, if true, malversation; but how this could have become known, is a complete mystery, and it is possible enough the rumour may be without foundation. We understand that the accusation amounts to this: that Mr. Simson recommended the Kotwal to prosecute Mr. Luard, and corresponded with him in 1844 while the inquiry was going on.-Ibid. PLUNDERING THE MAILS.-Letters dated the 20th were received yesterday from Baroda, which state that the dawk for that place, for Ahmedabad, Deesa, &c. had been plundered before it reached Baroda, in the state of the Guicowar. The Government authorities there seemed to think little of the matter,-as if it were a mere ordinary affair. A robbery of the same kind was committed twelve months ago, and no one was punished. The Guicowar employs himself more in banking matters and in making money, than he does in establishing an effective police throughout his dominions. It is nevertheless his interest to be on the alert in having the roads through his country kept securely, for otherwise some bold Governor of Bombay may find it consistent with the quiet and welfare of the districts to ease him of his powers as sovereign, by assuming the regulation of the state in the name of the British queen. Unfortunately, the dawk that was plundered contained the whole of the letters sent by the Overland Mail. Their loss will cause great disappointment to many. From a postscript to one of the letters, dated the 22nd, we learn that two bags of those abstracted had been recovered, and several persons succeeded in obtaining their letters, although they had been opened, and many of them much torn. We trust that the Bombay Government will not neglect this opportunity of insisting on the Guicowar's doing his duty, by keeping a proper and effective police establishment on the various roads throughout his dominions.-Gent.'s Gaz. Dec. 29. PROMOTION, 17TH N.I.-The death of Major general Vans Kennedy, Oriental Translator to Government, which it is our painful duty to record as having taken place yesterday morning, will give promotion to the grade of colonel to Lieutenantcolonel Dunsterville; the remainder of the promotion will fall to the 17th N. I., thus:-a lieutenant coloneley to Major H. Macan; a majority to Capt. David Davidson; a captaincy to Lieut. Charles Frederick Sorell; a lieutenantcy to Ensign Charles Edward Moberly. We understand that the death of Gen. Kennedy, although he has been ailing for some time, was quite unexpected. An inquest was, as it was said yesterday, held on the body.-Gentleman's Gaz. Dec. 30. ELPHINSTONE COLLEGE.-The Rev. James M'Dougall, late of Tair Academy, having been appointed Professor in the Elphinstone College, has just arrived from England by the Ship Nimrod, from London. The department lately presided over by Mr. Bell is still vacant, and Professor Orlebar has given in his resignation, and quits the Astronomical chair in March; and we presume Mr. M'Dougall, who has distinguished himself as an instructor in Mathematics and Physics, both in the Military Academy, Edinburgh, and in the Tair Seminary, to which he has for the last twelve years been attached, will take charge of one or other, or both departments.-Times, Dec. 30. DEESA.-By letters of the 21st instant from Deesa, we learn that on the night of the 19th, a heavy fall of rain had occurred at that station, while at Pahlunpore, a sharp shower of a couple of hours' duration had fallen; and it was feared the grain and grass still on the ground would suffer serious injury therefrom. The 1st lancers were expected in camp on the morning of the 24th. - Ibid. AHMEDABAD, December 22nd, 1846.-By this you will perceive that I am not only a good promiser but a good performer. The families of the 1st or Leslie's Troop of Horse Brigade passed through this station for Deesa on the 10th instant, and must have reached their destination long ere now.-A Committee assembled on the 15th, in the mess-room of the 8th N. I., to examine Quarter-master Thompson of that corps as to the proficiency he may have attained in the Hindoostanee language, and to report whether the same is such as to warrant leave being granted him to proceed to the Presidency for the purpose of being finally examined there.-A Court of Requests also assembled the following day, for the adjudication of certain claims preferred against Quarter-master Scott, of the 26th N. I., by certain merchants, &c. at Mhow. The amount, I am told, was so trifling that it was hardly worth while convening a court for the purpose; but as Mr. Scott disputed the correctness of a few items, right followed her course. — To our great surprise we had a sharp shower of rain on Saturday morning last, and another the same night, accompanied by thunder and lightning. This is a most unusual occurrence for this season of the year.-The Artillery from all stations are flocking into Ahmedabad for the annual practice. By the removal of the Golundauze from our camp to Dhooliakote, the morning and evening gun has ceased to fire, so we camp folk do not only indulge in lazy habits by oversleeping ourselves, but also experience great inconvenience owing to the irregularity which exist in the regimental gongs. I hope our worthy Com mandant will try to remedy the evil.-Colonel Foster Stalker, C. B., of the 26th N. I., has been transferred to the 2nd European Light Infantry at Aden. He returned from Baroda last night, and repairs to join his new corps in a couple of days. His departure from hence will be much regretted, and the good wishes of the residents of this place, high and low, rich and poor, will accompany him whithersoever he goes.-Major Ottley, of the 28th, joined his regiment from Bombay yesterday.-As I am rather late for the Tappaul, and as the Post-office Clerk is a very disobliging customer, I must conclude,—so tatta for the present.Ibid. BELGAUM, 21st December, 1846.-The long talked of tumasha of presenting the sword sent out by the Court of Directors to Chintamun Row Padoorung, Putwardhun of Sanglee, took place on Saturday last, the 19th P. M. The troops at the station paraded in full dress, in honour of the occasion, and at about halfpast five the Row Saheb was brought to the centre of the line by H. Reeves, Esq., political agent, and Captain Graham, the political superintendent of Kolapoor, accompanied by several chieftains, &c. On the sword being presented, a salute of nine guns was fired by the artillery, which was shortly afterwards returned gun for gun by that of the Row Saheb, which accompanied him to the ground. The troops-which were the following-1st and 4th Co's. Golundauze, H. M.'s 78th Highlanders, 27th regt. B. N. 1., and 3rd regt. M. N. L. I., under the command of Colonel Douglas, of the 78th Highlanders- then marched past in review. The appearance of the Highlanders, and their steady step, elicited the admiration of every body. I daresay the Row Saheb, on viewing them, thought of his own ragamuffin set, who are dressed in odds and ends of the British uniform. The infantry afterwards closed up in quick time on the leading regiment, formed en masse on the centre division, and then changed front to the left, and formed line on the centre. I believe a couple of other manoeuvres were performed, but which I could not observe, as the "shades of evening had closed over us." I hope the old warrior was satisfied with the handsome gift (valued at 100 guineas we are told) and the sight he witnessed. He might have given the troops a day's batta though. Besides Captain Graham, a few of the officers of the 2nd Madras cavalry also came to see the presentation of the sword to Chintamun Row. The vast concourse of people assembled on this occasion was indeed surprising; never was fair or festival so attended in this place, for from all directions, for miles, did they come to witness the imposing scene, but I fear they went away rather otherwise than pleased, for the irregular horse, posted all round the ground, did what they were intended for, and what only they are fit for, to the very letter; and perhaps it was as well they did so, or accidents might have happened. I am sure, when I say there were a lakh of people on the ground, I am far below the mark. This morning Captain Graham, with his fine body of irregular horse, and the Khan Saheb of Kagul, left for their respective seats. Mr. Shaw, the collector of Dharwar, has arrived here on his way to his station, to resume his appointment. General Morse was obliged to return from Dharwar, without going any further, owing to sickness; his son is also sick at Vingorlah. There is a talk here that Col. Douglas, of the 78th Highlanders, will be appointed a 1st class brigadier, to command the troops at Sukkur. The weather is exceedingly pleasant now, and the troops very healthy. What do you think of some of the 78th complaining that the present weather here is too cold for them?" -Times, Dec. 30. DEATH OF GENERAL VANS KENNEDY.-It is our painful duty to announce the decease of Major General Vans Kennedy, which took place yesterday morning. He was Oriental translator to Government, and President of the Clothing Board. He entered the army an Ensign, 6th March, 1800, became a Lieutenant, 26th May, 1800; a Captain, 14th September, 1811; Major, 4th May, 1820; Lieutenant Colonel, 1st May, 1824; Colonel, 4th September, 1837; and Major General, 28th June, 1838. His death was remarkably sudden. His loss is a source of grief to all who knew him, from the Governor to his meanest dependant, and it will not be easy to supply his place as an accomplished classical scholar, linguist, and antiquarian. - Telegraph, Dec. 30. CONTEMPLATED ABOLITION OF ORIENTAL TRANSLATORSHIP.— We have been informed that it is in the contemplation of Government, consequent on the death of Major General Vans Kennedy, to abolish the situation of Oriental translator, and to appoint, on a salary of 1,500 rupees per mensem, an assistantsecretary from one of the junior civil servants, whose duty it will be to devote himself almost entirely to the translation of Oriental languages. The political, secret, and Persian departments are to be amalgamated, and the assistant-secretary will be placed at the head of the Persian Department, and have also a partial control over the other two, but subject of course to the general supervision of Mr. Malet, the present political secretary. -Gentleman's Gazette, Dec. 31. THE 1ST LANCERS.-We have accounts of this regiment up to December 9th, at which date they were at Zamarda. The regiment left Rajcote on the 5th instant. On the 15th they reached Virangaum, and Chamgar on the 17th instant, and expected to march into Deesa on the 24th instant.- Witness, Dec. 31. DEATH OF MAJOR GENERAL VANS KENNEDY.-On Tuesday afternoon a jury was empannelled before the Coroner, at Tardeo, for the purpose of enquiring into the circumstances attending the death of Major General Vans Kennedy, aged 65 years, Oriental translator to Government. After hearing several witnesses the coroner said he thought it would be unnecessary to prosecute the enquiry any further, it being quite evident from the testimony of the witnesses that death had resulted from purely natural causes; and the jury concurring, immediately returned the verdict, "Died by the visitation of God."-Telegraph, Dec. 31. FUNERAL OF GENERAL VANS KENNEDY.-The late Major General Vans Kennedy was interred yesterday morning. The body was conveyed from his private residence to the Cathedral and, about six o'clock, an unusually numerous and highly re. spectable cortege was assembled, to accompany it to the place of interment. The funeral procession extended from the Cathedral to a considerable way without the Fort, and included the most distinguished members of the community, Civil, Military, and ordinary. The usual military honours were paid, and,—a more pleasing and satisfactory tribute,—many a moistened eye, and quivering lip, bore testimony to the respect with which he was regarded, and the sorrow which his loss occasions. Many natives were present, to lament the death of one who has always been a benefactor to them.-Ibid. MHOW.- Letters from Mhow intimate that the place is now very healthy, the sickness formerly prevalent there having disappeared. Mr. Hamilton, the resident at Indore, has been encamped for some days at Neemuch: from thence he intended proceeding to Bhopal, returning by way of Agur to Indore, so that he may meet the Lieutenant-governor at that place.-Ibid. MESSRS. LUARD AND SIMSON AGAIN.-With reference to our article of Monday last, on the interminable question, Luard, Simson, and the Government, we are enabled to state, that with a view to the final disposal of the case, Government has now called on Mr. Luard to furnish such evidence as he is able to adduce in substantiation of the charges brought by him against Mr. Simson. We shall look with some interest to the result.-Ibid. DEATH OF MR. MACKAY.-It is with much regret we announce the untimely decease of Mr. Mackay, Superintendent of Government Schools, 3rd Division, which took place at Malshirus on the 27th ultimo. In this young gentleman, Government have lost an active and intelligent servant, whose place it will not be easy to supply.-Telegraph and Courier, Jan. 1. ROBBERY AT ARVI.-A Khandeish correspondent informs us of a daring gang robbery, which took place a short time since at Arvi (about 12 miles from Dhoolia). The party robbed were proceeding to Indore from Bombay with about Rs. 24,000 worth of silver, the whole of which was looted. We shall give particulars to-morrow. - Ibid. SURMISES AS TO CAUSE OF DELAY OF OVERLAND MAIL.There have been more inundations in France. The Ripon has lost another rudder. War has been declared with Louis Philippe, in re the distasteful Spanish marriage. A part of the Mail is missing, and the steamer is waiting at Suez till it is found. Some accident has happened to some part of some vessel's machinery. Mehemet Ali is dead, and Egypt in a ferment. General William Napier has set the Thames on fire. The Arabs have again threatened Aden.-Telegraph and Courier, Jan. 2. ALGERNON MARSHAM POLLOCK.-The Honourable the Judges of the Supreme Court of Judicature have appointed Algernon Marsham Pollock, Esq., to be clerk to the Honourable the Chief Justice and Sealer of the said court, on the resignation of C. M. J. Pollock, Esq. GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORDERS. SALT. The Government of India having been pleased to permit the free export of salt shipped from the port of Bombay for ports, whether British or foreign, not on the continent of India, or in the Island of Ceylon, notice is hereby given, that parties desirous of availing themselves of this privilege will be required to enter into a security-bond for the amount of duty leviable on the salt so exported under Government notification of the 14th September, 1844, which bond will be cancelled on the production, within six months from its date, of a certificate of the salt having been imported at the port of its destination, signed by the collector of customs or other similar officer at that port; and on failure of this the bond will be enforced. H. H. GLASS, Collector of Customs. Bombay, Collector of Custom's Office, December 2, 1846. AVAILABLE FURLOUGHS. The following disposition list of furloughs is published for information: Furloughs available on this date, 7 COURT-MARTIAL. LIEUT. WILLIAM ASHBURNER, 3RD L.C. Head-Quarters, Bombay, Dec. 7, 1846.-At a General CourtMartial assembled at Kurrachee, on Friday, Oct. 30, 1846, and of which Lieut.-Col. Reid, c.B., 12th N.I., is president, Lieut. Wm. Ashburner, adj. 3rd Bombay L.C., was brought to trial on the following charge, viz. For conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, in having in camp Shikarpoor, on or about the 30th June, 1846, when attending a Court of Inquiry for the purpose of assisting Trooper Ram Lail, of the 5th troop, 3rd regt. L.C., aspersed the character of Lieut. J. W. Younghusband, 8th N I., lieut. of police and magistrate at Shikarpoor, by submitting, on behalf of the said Trooper Ram Lall, the following unwarrantable question to Troopers Tazkhan, Hazaree Sing, and Seetul Pursad, of the 3rd L.C., "When Lieut. Younghusband ran away, did you come up to where we were?" or words to that effect, thereby, and by his general demeanour before the Court, casting reflections on the character of the said Lieut. J. W. Younghusband, and tending to lower it in the estimation of all the officers composing the Court of Inquiry, of which Lieut.-Col. Stack, C.B., was president, and of all who had heard the same. Camp at Kurrachee, Oct. 15, 1846. By order of his Exc. Major-General Sir C. J. Napier, G.C.B., (Signed) EDWARD GREEN, Major, Assist. Adj.-Gen. Upon which charge the Court came to the following decision:Finding. The Court having maturely weighed and considered the evidence before it, is of opinion the prisoner, Lieut. W. Ashburner, adjutant 3rd L.C., is not guilty of the charge preferred against him, and does therefore most fully and most honourably acquit him of all and every part of the same. (Signed) A. T.
