curing freight for the article, all manufactories being now in full work. Exports to Great Britain from the 1st inst. up to date amount to 15,833 gallons. RAW SILK.-Nearly all descriptions have been in brisk demand, but more particularly Cossimbazar and Junghypore of the November bund, of which sorts our market has been nearly cleared. In Hurry. paul and Radnagore some few transactions have been effected at about former rates for the finer descriptions, whilst low qualities are neglected, except at a decline. Exports from the 1st inst. up to date have been to Great Britain 1,635 maunds. SILK PIECE GOODS.-A few parcels of corahs, manufactured from silk of the November bund, have come to hand; and being of rather superior quality to those which have been offering for some time past, found purchasers at from 140 to 143 Co.'s rupees per corge, whilst those remaining on hand are procurable at a slight reduction on the prices formerly asked. In Choppas and Bandannas we do not hear of any transactions. OPIUM.-The second sale of the season was held on the 10th inst., with the following result: Since the sale shipments have gone forward freely, and out of the 8,500 chests disposed of at this and the previous sale, there now remain uncleared only 1,725 chests of Patna, and 1,125 of Benares, and considerable shipments are still in progress. Prices have very slightly fluctuated, being now for Patna 1,250 Company's rupees, and for Benares 1,135 per chest. RICE. We have not heard of transactions to any extent lately, and although shipments continue, they must, we think, consist of former purchases, for which shipping orders had been previously obtained; we cannot, however, notice any decline in price. Exports from the 1st instant up to date are as follows:-To Great Britain, 39,892 mds.; to the Mauritius, 8,600 mds. COTTON.-We are again unable to report a single transaction in this market, except for local purposes, and we believe the up-country marts are in an equally inactive state. Prices are, in consequence, almost nominal. The only shipment since our last is one of 128 bales to China. FREIGHTS.-The amount of tonnage available for Great Britain not being adequate to the extensive shipments which are going forward, a further advance has been submitted to, and even at our quotations it is difficult to obtain shipping orders for dead weight to any extent; and as many purchasers lay over in the hope of shipment being effected at a lower figure, we think without very heavy arrivals there is no probability of any material decline for some time to come. BANGALORE.-The lamented death of Major-General Hill has thrown a gloom and melancholy over the society there, which will not soon be eradicated. He died at Guerseppa Falls, in the Naggur Division, on the night of the 21st January, having lain in a lethargy for eight or ten days. His health had been failing for some months; but the immediate cause of the fatal attack is supposed to have been excessive fatigue, arising from a long excursion out of camp, during which he accidentally lost the road, and was in consequence completely exhausted before reaching home. A medical officer from Honoor was in attendance on him; and it is said that he has been conveyed thither for burial. On Sunday, Jan. 26th, the Rev. Mr. Lutyens, towards the close of his sermon, portrayed in lively and feeling colours the truly Chris tian and amiable character of the late general, whose sudden death all, he said, sincerely mourned and lamented. Even many of the natives around were bewailing the loss of a benefactor and kind friend, for he was ever ready to alleviate the wants of the poor, and his character as a sincere and exemplary Christian was happily dwelt upon and described. Since the general's death, it is said, that some time before it occurred, but since he left on his tour, he experienced a severe fall from his horse, that it happened whilst he was riding alone, and that he never mentioned it, until his European servant saw some severe bruises and marks on his back and shoulders. The general had served his country for a space of forty years. Having entered the army in 1805, he obtained a lieutenancy in 1806, and was successively captain and major in 1811. In 1813 he obtained the rank of lieutenant colonel, and that of colonel in 1827, and became major general in 1837. In 1841 he was appointed to the staff of the Madras Army, and arrived there at the end of that year. His services in Europe were as follows:-he landed in Portugal in 1808, and served throughout the Peninsular War as aide-decamp to Lord Hill, served also in the campaign of 1815, was slightly wounded at Oporto on the passage of the Douro, and most severely at Waterloo. Such is a brief sketch of the life of the man whose loss all here are now deploring, but particularly those friends who knew him best; enemies he had none. Gersuppah," where the worthy general breathed his last, does not seem to be a place very generally known. It is we believe a celebrated waterfall on the river called "Sarawati" which falls into the sea at Honore, and is navigable for twelve or fifteen miles above that place. Like most other places to which the natives have given names, from something remarkable in their soil or site, this place has been called Gersuppah," because the ground for miles round is covered with cashewnut trees; "Ger" signifying in Canarese the trees of this description, and "Sooppoo" a leaf. 66 At a meeting held at the Public Rooms, the 30th of January (with the sanction of the officer commanding the station), it was resolved-"That a subscription be raised for the double purpose of erecting a monument or tablet in St. Mark's Church, at Bangalore, and for raising a sum to be founded for some charitable purpose at Bangalore, which shall bear Major-General Hill's name." The party who accompanied the late lamented General Hill have not yet returned, but are expected daily, viz. Capt. Nott, the deputy assistant quartermaster-general of the division; two Europeans, a medical subordinate, and the general's servants, followers, and escort. Capt. Cust, the late general's aide-de-camp, it is said, goes home from the western coast. The property and effects of the general are now being disposed of by public auction, by the regimental sergeant-major of the King's Hussars. Major-General Allan, c. B. having been appointed to the command of the Mysore division, is shortly expected. He has on former occasions been here (Bangalore) both as a brigadier commanding the cantonment, and as a general officer commanding the division, and is well known as a gallant old soldier, who has seen much Indian service, having been one of the heroes who distinguished themselves at the capture of Seringapatam, now nearly half a century ago. The appointment of Major-General Lovell. x. H. to the command of the provinces, gives the command of the king's hussars to Sir Walter Scott, bart. There have been reports here lately that part of this fine corps is like to be employed in the Southern Mahratta country, but it seems uncertain; indeed, from all we can learn, the nature of the warfare there is such that mounted troops can be of little service. The weather during this month (February) at home is generally subject to very great changes; though the cold begins to abate, frost and snow generally return at intervals; hence the pointed observation of Shakspeare, " You have such a February face, so full of frost, of storm, and cloudiness." The case is vastly the reverse here, for the weather is becoming excessively hot. The cold, chilling east winds have now subsided, and more gentle westerly breezes blow." The foggy mornings are less frequent, and have been succeeded by others much more pleasant. End of last month, and for the two or three first days of this month, the atmosphere was much overcast and cloudy; but it has since cleared up, and is now very fine. All classes here are remarkably healthy; there have been only two funerals of Europeans since the 1st of January; one, the unfortunate Ensign Robertson, of the 2nd European Light Infantry, who was drowned on the morning of the 6th ultimo, when the right wing of the regiment marched from this for Trichinopoly; and the other, of an old worn-out pensioner. We have now our two joint chaplains here, and four regular services every Sunday; viz., twice in the morning to the troops, There was and in the forenoon and evening to the community. divine service performed in our church on Ash-Wednesday. THE TROOPS.-The head-quarters and right wing of the 1st Fusiliers, under command of Major C. Butler, marched into cantonments at Bangalore on Saturday, the 25th of January, from Arnee, all seemingly in high health, and no casualities whatever had occurred on the march; but the roads, particularly in the Carnatic, are represented as being very bad. The men, generally speaking, look hale and well; but, from exposure on their late march, they appear much swarthier and more sun-burnt than the men of the 2nd European Light Infantry. Accounts have been received of the safe arrival of the right wing of the latter regiment at Trichinopoly. The wing had a remarkably pleasant and fortunate march from Bangalore, few or none sick, and no casualty whatever occurred, saving the unfortunate accident which befel Ensign W. Robertson on the morning the wing marched. The left wing, under the command of Major W. Hands, has marched on for Trichinopoly; so that the corps is now all clear of the cantonment. It has been here since the latter end of 1840, and, after the high character which has been given it by the ruling authorities here, it would be out of place our saying any thing more. The conduct of all, both officers and men, has been uniformly correct and most creditable, as weil amongst themselves as amongst all here, with whom, either as a body or individually, the 2nd E. L. I. came in contact. The regiment carries with it the best wishes of all ranks here for its future happiness and prosperity. Whilst referring recently to the various systems adopted in the 2nd European Light Infantry to prevent intemperance amongst the men, or rather to keep them from running about outside of the barracks looking for liquor, we omitted to mention a practice that was introduced by Major W. Hands, while he commanded the regiment, and which was attended with the very best effects, which was this :-there were no spirits whatever sold, or allowed to be taken within the barrack square, but at the coffee-room (no canteen) there was always plenty of ale and porter, and at a moderate price; these the men used to go there and drink, but latterly Major Hands issued an order allowing men to purchase ale or porter, and carry it to their barrack rooms, and drink it there. This was considered a great indulgence, and many who used before to go outside and spend their money on spirits, now laid it out on those more wholesome beverages, and drank them sitting comfortably in their barracks; then, at the dinner hour, half a score of tin tankards might be seen on the table of each mess foaming over with beer or porter, and the men enjoying themselves in a most homely style. Such little indulgences as these are much more beneficial to our European soldiery, than sheets of written rules and vexatious enactments, which only annoy the men, and do them no good whatever. MYANDRAMUNGALUM.-We have letters from the camp of the left wing European Light Infantry, dated from MyandramungaJum, 30th ultimo. The wing was getting on admirably, no appearance of sickness amongst the men, who are described as in high spirits, and pleased with the change, though many regret the delightful station they have just quitted. The left wing is commanded by Major Hands, a very zealous and excellent officer, whose arrangements appear to cause general satisfaction; and we observe that he continues to carry out the plan intro. duced by Colonel Dyce, of having a supply of hot coffee awaiting the arrival of the men at the half-way halting place on each morning's march-a measure which is attended with benefit to the health of the soldiery.-Madras United Service Gazette. THE LATE CAPTAIN E. G. TAYNTON.-The accounts of the death of this lamented officer reached Bangalore some days since. He had held the appointment of brigade-major here ever since the arrival of his corps at this station in March 1843, and in the interim acted for some months as deputy assistant quartermastergeneral of the division, but left this with his corps when it marched for field service in November last. He was universally beloved and esteemed, as well for his kind and conciliatory manner, as for his correct and gentlemanly conduct on all occasions. Of an excellent temper, combined with experience and a complete knowledge of the languages and manners of the natives, he was with them a universal favourite. The sorrow and regret expressed amongst the families of the sepoys of the regiment who remain here, when the melancholy tidings reached them of Captain T.'s death, was a very strong proof of the high estimation in which he was held by them. Numerous reports are in circulation as to the manner in which he met with his death. We have heard, from authority that may be relied upon, that he was marching with a detachment of his company in a jungle, when a native stepped out from behind a tree, and fired at him with fatal effect; but it is said that he called for his double-barrelled piece before he fell, fired, and brought down his enemy and another man. OSSOOR. THE REMOUNT. - The annual committee on the remount horses for the year, assembled at Ossoor, have terminated their labours. We understand that upwards of seven hundred horses were passed for the service; of which number about fifty were selected as officers' chargers, and the same number for the King's hussars; seventy for the horse artillery, twenty odd for the body guard, and the remainder for the light cavalry. The last named branch are said to have been peculiarly favoured this season. On the whole, the entire remount was very highly approved of by the committee, but the flower of the lot is said to have been the first produce of the Government experimental stud now in operation at Ossoor, out of five fine young horses from it, three of that number were selected as officers' chargers. A very considerable number of excellent young horses, provincial bred, were also brought forward, which were much admired for their blood and action. The mode of selecting the horses for the different branches of the service is this, we believe: the strongest and heaviest are first set aside for the horse artillery; then the largest and highest, &c. for the European dragoons or hussars; and the remainder for the native cavalry-the selections being made by the committee jointly, who, as they go on, select such horses as are deemed fit for officers' chargers. We have heard that in Bengal the mode of selection is somewhat different, although it comes to the same thing in the end. There, we have been informed, one or two officers from each department or branch attend; the artillery officers having the first pick and choice for the artillery, then the dragoon officers pick and choose for the dragoons, and the remainder falls to the native cavalry. Letters from the head-quarter wing of the 5th N.I., on route from Cannanore to Bellary, dated Camp at Chutra, near the French Rocks, 14th January, announce that the wing was getting on very pleasantly, without any appearance of sickness, save two or three cases of slight fever. The officers with the right wing are as follows:-Lieut. Colonel Kerr, Capt. Brooke, Lieut. and Adj. Stewart, Lieuts. Armstrong and Gilliland, Ensigns Nicholls and Brown, and Assist.surg. Fernandez, M. D. MANANTODDY.-The left wing 5th reg. N. I., under command of Captain Leader, ar ived here at six o'clock on Thursday evening, 30th January, and encamped on the large plain close to the village. At the recommendation of the medical officer, Dr. Clarke, the camp was moved to the hill, where are situated the houses of the few European residents of this place. Dense fogs, which now set in every evening at four o'clock, and continue till late the next morning, render the nights particularly unhealthy. Several cases of fever have already occurred among the camp followers of the 5th, brought on by exposure to the night air; fortunately none of them are of a serious nature. This wing lelt Cannanore on the morning of the 25th January, and, altogether, have had a pleasant march, unattended by sickness. However, great difficulty was experienced, although assisted by numbers of coolies, in getting the bandies up the Peria Ghaut, the road up which being in a fearful state, and in some places nearly impassable. Most of the bandies were in consequence repeatedly upset, and it was only after three days of the greatest exertion that all reached the top of the ghaut. One from the two companies of the detachment 45th reg. N.I. stationed here, has marched, under charge of Lieut. Reilly, to Cannanore. Major-gen. Allan is expected to pass through here shortly, on his way to Bangalore. The 5th proceeds en route on the 3rd February. VIZAGAPATAM.-A few fires happened here lately; but the last, which broke out a few evenings since in the fishermen's village, contiguous to the Europeans' lines, proved very destructive, for the wind, which was blowing rather strong at the time, increased the conflagration to such a degree as to cause nearly five hundred huts to be reduced to ashes, besides a great amount of property. The school-room in the barracks is nearly completed; and the foundation has been laid for a powder magazine, next to the arsenal, the present one being situated so near to the main street in the fort, that danger is to be apprehended from the torch lights and other fires so incautiously carried by passengers. The barque Indian Queen left this for Madras on the 25th January, and the Defiance on the following day for Calcutta, viá Bimlipatam. The weather is very agreeably cool and pleasant in the mornings, but rather warm during the day. PAULGHAUT.-Mr. Assistant surv. Williams arrived here a few days ago, and is now at Gungeecotrah in the jungle, superintending the repairs of the road between this place and Walia, a work of the utmost importance, and too long neglected. Such was the state of this principal thoroughfare between the Coast and Coimbatore, that another season of rain would have rendered it utterly impassable for wheeled carriages of any kind. The heat is becoming intense, and every thing looks parched up and thirsty. Coughs and fevers are prevalent, but in every other respect the inhabitants enjoy good health. Bazaar rates continue at the same high figure, with no prospect of a speedy abatement. General Gibson is expected here from Trichinopoly, to review the 19th reg. In a letter from Trichinopoly it is stated that a storm damaged nearly every house at that station, four or five lives were lost by the falling of houses, and a number of pro. vidential escapes took place; large trees were torn from their roots, and blown across the roads in such numbers, that on the morning succeeding the hurricane, the police had much difficulty in getting them cleared away. The works in the fort of Paulghaut have been again commenced, and as the weather is favourable, it is expected they will be completed before the next monsoon. The new racket-court is progressing rapidly, and will be a splendid edifice of the kind when finished. A Hadjee arrived here on his return from Mecca a few weeks before the Mohorum, and has been astonishing the faithful" with pretensions to miraculous powers. A story is current amongst the Moosulmans of his having decapitated a Malavalum man in the public bazaar, and restored him to life again in the presence of hundreds of all castes;-so much for Mahomedan credulity in the 19th century. .. NEGAPATAM. The town has been exceedingly lively for the last fortnight, from the presence of the right wing of her Majesty's 95th regiment. They reached Negapatam on the morning of the 21st of January, and encamped on a large open space, opposite the sea, just without the town. On the 25th of January, the Lord Bishop of Madras arrived; and on the Sunday morning following, preached and confirmed several East Indians and a number of the soldiers. In the evening of the same day his lordship administered the sacrament, after a sermon having been delivered by his chaplain. On Monday, about thirty natives were confirmed; and on Wednesday his lorship proceeded to Canaardagoody, the station of the Rev. J. Brotherton. Early on the morning of the 29th of January, the John Line and the Scotia anchored in our roads, and operations were im. mediately commenced for conveying on board the baggage of the soldiers, who embarked this morning for Aden, the wind be. ing directly in their favour, and about four o'clock this afternoon, the gallant vessels weighed anchor and proceeded on their voyage. J. Cotton, Esq; and his lady arrived by the John Line. TANJORF. Our diocesan has left for Vellum.. after a sojourn amongst us of only six days, during which he gave us sufficient proofs of his activity and entire devotion to the duties of his high calling. On the day of his lordship's arrival (31st January), he performed English divine service, at noon, to a very crowded audience, composed of both the European and native congregations of Tanjore, in Saint Peter's church, which he then consecrated, as we l' as the burial ground thereunto attached. On this occasion his lordship's discourse was, in the course of delivery, interpreted and explained. in Tamil, to the native congregation, by the Rev. R. Caldwell, the domestic chaplain. On the 1st Feb. at 7 A. M. his lordship attended Tamil divine service, in Christ's church, in the small fort, and after the usual service being read in Tamil, delivered a discourse to the congregation assisted as before by the domestic chaplain. In the afternoon of this day his lordship presided at the examination of the pupils of the Rev. H. Bower's seminary, three of whom were selected for admission to the Monckton scholarship. The 2nd of February being Sunday, his lordship attended Tamil divine service in the forenoon, and after the reading of the service in Tamil, held a confirmation, to which a great number of natives were admitted, and then, assisted by the domestic chaplain, proceeded to deliver a sermon which lasted for about an hour,, during which he disclose, more fully, his intention of putting down the distinction of caste in the church. In the evening he performed English divine service. The whole of the 3rd was spent by his lordship in discoursing with the different catechists of the Tanjore Mission, in proposing queries to them relative to faith, and other essential: points connected with Christianity, and in pointing out to them the necessity of their weaning themselves from the sinful customs of the world, and especially, the distinctions of caste. On the 4th his lordship paid a visit of ceremony to his highness the Rajah, accompanied by some of the gentlemen of the station. It is undenied, that a Sootra Christian ventured to represent to his lordship the propriety of his first proceeding to oblige the Parriahs, and other inferior castes. to forego the distinctions prevalent amongst them. leaving the higher castes alone, until they (the former) should be brought to submit to the injunction to a certain degree. Upon this his lordship in surprise inquired whether any, distinction subsisted between the inferior castes, and a Parriah being called and asked whether he would associate and eat with the left-hand castes, such as Pullurs, Chucklers, &c., he immediately replied in the negative, adding that if he ever ventured doing so it would excite the resentment of his caste, as a great disgrace, and induce them to seek every oppor tunity to wash away the stain by an attack upon his life. The 5th, being Ash-Wednesday, divine service was performed in St. Peter's Church by his lordship in English (after the reading of the Tamil service) to a numerously crowded audience, composed of the European and native congregations. His lordship preached briefly to the European congregation on the subject of ordination, and the duties and course of conduct to be observed by those ordained. His lordship then ordained the Rev. H. Bower to the priesthood. His lordship next proceeded to administer the Lord's Supper to such of the European and native congregations as were disposed to partake of the same: the latter were not very considerable, owing to his lordship having the day before invited such only to approach the sacred table as were disposed to communicate without any distinction of caste. The service commenced at 11 o'clock and ended at nearly half past three. His lordship having taken leave of the congregation, started for Vellum in the afternoon. NAGPORE BANGHY MAIL.-The Nagpore Banghy mail, despatched from Neermul on the 4th February towards Hyderabad, was attacked by a gang of robbers near the Muddenpilly tank, between the villages of Ingrumpilly and Metrazpilly. It is, however, said, that a portion of the plundered articles has been recovered. AURUNGABAD.-We have to record the death, on the 13th January, of Major Charles Freeman, of the Nizam's Pension Establishment, in the 80th year of his age. Major Freeman, after a long and honourable service, extending to the protracted period of fifty years, was some years ago pensioned by his highness, on the magnificent stipend of Rs. 1,000 per mensem, of which income the deceased made a noble use; having, as is stated, "been a father and a protector to the poor and helpless, supplying them with food, clothing, and medical aid." JAULNAH.-The C Troop of Horse Artillery have arrived at Jaulnah, from Bangalore, all well. POONAMALLEE.-The following details have marched from Poonamallee, to join the head-quarters of their respective corps: "H. M.'s 15th Hussars-2 lieuts., 1 cornet, and 41 men, for Bangalore. H. M.'s 63rd Foot-1 captain, 1 lieut., 4 ensigns, and 163 men for Bellary. H. M.'s 4th Foot-1 lieut, 3 ensigns, I assist. surgeon, and 179 men for Secunderabad. H.M.'s 21st Foot-1 captain, 2 lieuts., and 94 men for Kamptee. TRICHINOPOLY.-The right wing of the 2nd Light Infantry has arrived in high health and first-rate order. BELLARY.-The review of the 2nd Light Cavalry took place on the 30th January, and elicited applause from General Wolf and all who observed it; the clean and soldierlike appearance of the men on parade was much admired; and for steadiness of pace, and precision of movement, I do not think the corps can be excelled in this or any other country. On the same morning, the D Troop Horse Artillery, under the command of Captain Fishe, arrived en route to Bangalore, the men looked remarkably well and healthy; and the horses, after their long march, appeared to be in excellent order. This troop has been particularly fortunate in its march, having had no sickness since it let Jaulnah; and in travelling the road, where the the 25th N. I. had, a few days previous, lost a great many men by cholera, not a person was taken ill in the Horse Artillery. Another thing the march of this troop is remarkable for is (whether the superior treatment to the natives, or the private arrangement of the commanding officer, I cannot say), they have not been deserted by a single follower since they left Jaul nah, though travelling with very few halts, and over an unfrequented road. They rested here one day and then resumed their march. The small-pox has set in for the last month amongst the natives with great virulence, and had not even spared the Europeans, as two of the officers of H. M.'s 63rd, and one of the Cavalry, caught it. Two of them have recovered, and the third is in a fair way of getting over his attack. SECUNDERABAD.-The theatre here lately opened with a new farce, entitled Captain Charlotte, or the French Milliner, in two acts, succeeded by a Day after the Fair; the whole being wound up by a fairy masque, entitled the Sylph of the Magic Circle, or Marriage in the Clouds. The manager had been at considerable trouble, and some expense, to render the theatre on this occasion more brilliant and attractive than formerly, as he doubtless intended it as a sort of prelude to the races, and in this he eminently succeeded. The drop-scene, which was new, was very much admired, and deservedly so; it was painted by an officer at this sta tion. Lieut. Huet sustained several characters with great skill. In the Day after the Fair, Old Fidget, one of the most amusing characters in the piece, was personified by a sergeant of the 4th King's Own, whose acting was much praised. The finis vis, the Sylph of the Magic Circle, did not belie its title, but served as a brilliant wind-up to one of the best performances ever witnessed in India. Lieut. Huet, much to the regret of the playloving portion of the community, has resigned the management of the theatre, which he had conducted to the general satisfaction of both actors and spectators. The races proved unusually good, and afforded much amusement. General Wahab carried off all the stakes on the first day. Capt. Shakespeare, of the Nizam's Cavalry, was the winner of the King's Own Cup and the Union Plate. MAJOR CONSIDINE has resigned the secretaryship of the Madras Club. The members, at their annual meeting, resolved to invite him to a public entertainment, but the Major declined the honour. H.M.'S 57TH REGT.-The effective and invalid details of this regiment, under the command of Lieut. Croker, embarked for England on board the Northumberland. THE 42ND N.I., about to proceed to China, was paraded, on the 20th January, by their new commanding officer, Col. Green, for the purpose of having an order of Government read and explained to the men. The sepoys were informed precisely what rations they would be allowed on ship-board, the amount of pensions to the families of the different grades who might die on service, and that the regiment would be brought back from China in three years. If any wished to exchange into other regiments, they were told they might do so; and those who neither wished to follow their colours to China, or would go into other corps, were offered their discharge. The result was most satisfactory, as upon those who did not wish to accompany the regiment being ordered to step to the front, one man only in the entire corps came forward. On the 12th and 13th February, the regiment deposited their arms in the arsenal, preparatory to embarkation. The friends of Lieut. Col. Underwood, late of the engineers, have resolved to present him with a silver salver. The subscriptions to this tribute of regard have, it is understood, been fixed at a maximum of one gold mohur. Mr. M. Lewin has been elected a director of the Bank of Madras in the room of Mr. Bruce. The 21st regiment Madras N. I. marched from Kulludghee, in the morning of the 23rd Feb., en route to Hulliaul.

Ecclesiastical Department, Feb. 18.-The Honourable the Court of Directors having been pleased to determine in despatch to the Government of India, Ecclesiastical Department, No. 5 of 1844, under date the 30th October last:-That the nomination and appointment of the chaplains in their service shall, as heretofore, rest with the Government. The attention of the several chaplains is called to the last clause of rule ten, published in the Fort St. George Gazette of 12th June, 1840, prescribing the mode in which applications for change of station are to be made. His lordship in council resolves also to publish, for the information and guidance of the chaplains, the following extract from the same despatch:-"We have repeatedly stated, that our chaplains are not incumbents of parishes or districts like those of England, and that consequently they do not possess the peculiar rights and privileges of that class. They resemble military and naval chaplains, who are unbeneficed clergymen, liable to be removed from place to place at the discretion of the Government. -66 Published by order of the most noble the governor in council, "J. F. THOMAS, Chief Secretary." Lieut. Ross, 10th N. I., placed in arrest by order of Lieut. Col. commandant John Wilson, commanding the same Regt. upon the following charge: Charge. For scandalous and infamous conduct, unbecoming the character of an Officer and a Gentleman, in having at Kamptee, on the 9th of November, 1841, gone to the house of Surg, H. G. Graham, 10th N. T., and then and there violently assaulted the said Surg. Graham, by striking him two severe blows on the head with a bamboo stick, at a time when the said Surg. H. G.
