having withdrawn the competition which existed as long as students were admitted to receive gratuitous education in the Government institution. I trust these enterprising young men will persevere and prosper in their laudable undertaking. "In conclusion, I beg to offer on the part of Government, and of the Council of Education, my best thanks to the principal, Mr. Clint, the professors, and all who have been engaged in the work of instruction during the past year, for the unremitting zeal they have displayed in the discharge of their duties. The pleasure I have felt on this occasion of my first visit to the college has been very great, and I shall ever entertain a sincere desire for its continued prosperity."- Calcutta Star, March 1. THE MUDRISSA.-On Wednesday, February 26th, the distriubtion of prizes took place in the presence of the GovernorGeneral, to whom an address from the students was presented. -His Excellency said that, with great pleasure, he accepted the address which had been made by the students and just read by the Honourable Mr. Cameron, and approved of the terms in which it was drawn up, expressing his conviction that the students of the institution appreciated the advantages which were conferred on them by its means. His Excellency hoped that they would confirm that conviction by their industry, perseverance, and zeal in the prosecution of their studies, which could alone lead to eventual success. He assured them that attention to their studies, and the knowledge which was imparted to them, would, without doubt, conduce to improve both their moral and social condition, and, at the same time, he would give them, as well as to the students of all other colleges and schools, a short advice, that none of them could hope permanently to attain an enviable reputation or happiness in this life, unless their moral conduct kept pace with their intellectual improvement. His Excellency next alluded to the report of the college read by Dr. Mouat, the contents of which were calculated to produce a favourable impression of the state of the institution. Its management, his Excellency was happy to observe, in the hands of the principal and teachers, had proved successful, both in imparting instruction to, and maintaining a proper discipline among, the students. His Excellency was also glad to find that the study of English had been carried on, in the course of the past twelve months, to a greater extent than in previous years, and that the students had manifested a stronger desire for gaining a knowledge of European arts and sciences. He had no doubt that this would be the means of their acquiring credit to themselves and doing good to their countrymen. English literature, his Excellency remarked, had charms beyond those which belong to Oriental learning. The English language was connected with arts and sciences of modern date and latest improvements, which were unknown to the ancients, and are not to be derived from a study of the learned languages. His Excellency would, therefore, wish them to turn their earnest attention to the study of the English language, with the philosophy and sciences of the present age, with which English literature is connected, His Excellency then referred to one or two instances, as examples of the advanced state of the practical sciences and arts of the present times. Look at the river Hooghly, his Excellency remarked, with the large steamers, like so many line-of-battle ships, which may be seen upon its surface, capable of defying the strength of currents and tides, and withstanding the strongest monsoons, and conquering time and space. Was not that a triumph of the arts and sciences? -and yet who would have supposed it possible a few years ago? His Excellency alluded, likewise, to railroad travelling, by which a carriage was made to run along with a velocity of fifty miles an hour; the victory over every obstacle which was gained by human ingenuity and art, in making suitable roads for this wonderful mode of transit, by the construction of bridges and passages, even through the heart of mountains. Compare this, observed his Excellency, to travelling by dâk in this country, at the rate of three miles an hour! Another curious particular to which his Excellency made allusion was the incredible celerity with which a message and its answer could be conveyed between two distant places, performing this object within five or six minutes, over a space of 200 to 400 miles. And wonderful as this appeared to be, it was done by the most simple means. A wire, for instance, was extended between London and Liverpool, and this constituted the medium of communicating an electric shock, the vibration being felt at the latter place; the clicking of a small clock announced it, and a reference to an index enabled the interpretation of the message, which in the same mode could be responded to-the entire operation not taking up more than only a few minutes, for the intelligence to travel forwards and back over an extent of 300 or 400 miles. These were the conquests of art, these the wonders effected by 'science; and yet learned men tell us that science is only in its infancy. "Then cultivate," remarked his Excellency, the lan. 66 guage of Britain as the medium of acquiring that knowledge in the arts, science, and philosophy in their present improved state, which can open up the certain road to distinction and usefulness in life, and towards the latter point being attained, the language of the people should, in the first instance, be mastered." His Excellency here also adverted to the advantage in a commercial point of view, of possessing a knowledge of English. He referred to the extent of her Majesty's possessions over the civilized globe, and the numerous countries where the language of England was understood and spoken. It must be therefore of the highest advantage to those who would carry on commercial intercourse, to be familiar with that language. As a special example of the benefits arising from a proper acquaintance with the English language, his Excellency stated the appointment to the office of deputy magistrate, of an ex-student of this college, named Syud Hosein, who had distinguished himself for his knowledge, both of the English and Oriental languages, and who now was fulfilling his duties with credit to himself and service to the Government. This individual would not have obtained that appointment, had he been less proficient in the English language than he is. His Excellency hoped, therefore, that the students of the institution would assiduously devote themselves to the study of the English language, yet not without neglecting their Oriental studies. In conclusion his Excellency observed that he would always feel a sincere interest in the Mahomedan College, as much as in any other, and rejoice to find it growing in prosperity.-Bengal Hurkaru, Feb. 27. THE ROYAL PORTRAITS.-The portraits of herself and Prince Albert, which her Majesty, at the solicitation of Dwarkanauth Tagore, has presented to the town of Calcutta, have been temporarily placed in the upper south roem of the Town Hall. It is in contemplation to construct a picture gallery for the reception of these and other works of art. An alteration is to be made in the Town Hall for the purpose. A meeting of the inhabitants took place at the Town Hall, to propose an address to her Majesty for having graciously made a gift of her and Prince Albert's portraits to the community. Of course there was unanimity of opinion, and the address is to be entrusted for presentation to Dwarkanauth Tagore. The following is the address: "Most Gracious Sovereign,-With feelings of profound respect and gratitude, we, the community of Calcutta, proffer to your Majesty's acceptance, in unfeigned sincerity, our humble acknowledgments and thanks for the great honour you have conferred upon us in the bestowal upon our city of the magnificent portraits just received of your Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert. They have been placed in our public hall, whether of business or recreation, where all have equally the privilege of access; and will be regarded and preserved as sacred deposits, reminding us of your Majesty's just claims to our fealty, and our obligations to fulfil them. “In loyalty and affection towards your Majesty and your Majesty's family, we have never yielded to any; and this most acceptable testimony of your Majesty's favour and condescension towards us, has deepened, if that might be, the devotion with which we before looked up to you as our sovereign. "That your Majesty may long be permitted by the ruler of all things to reign over us and the millions who rejoice to own your sway, and that your royal consort may long be spared to your heart's wishes and affections, is the hope and prayer of your Majesty's most grateful and most faithful subjects." It is understood that the following nominations to the vacancies in the Medical College have been made by Sir Henry Hardinge, in consequence of the departure of Doctors Goodeve and Raleigh,-Dr. Pearson to succeed Dr. Goodeve as professor of anatomy, Dr. Stewart to have Dr. Goodeve's second appointment of professor of midwifery, and Mr. R. O'Shaughnessy to have Mr. Raleigh's place as professor of surgery. In addition to the Medical College appointments above mentioned, Mr. Webb is to succeed Mr. O'Shaughnessy as demonstrator of anatomy. The annual examination of the pupils of the Christian Institution, connected with the London Missionary Society, was held on Friday, the 7th of February, at Bhowanipore. The Institution was commenced in the year 1837, with 32 pupils. Since that time the establishment has brought, through its medium, 1,392 pupils under the influence of a Christian education. A large casting has been made at Messrs. Jessop and Co.'s yard, in order to replace the piston which was broken on board the Precursor, on her passage out. Its weight is from three and a half to four tons, and it is supposed to be the heaviest iron casting that has been manufactured in this country. THE FAME.-Yesterday's Semaphore announces the arrival of the brig Fame. She is an iron pilot vessel, built by Napier of Glasgow, in place of the Guide, wrecked on her passage out about eighteen months ago. She is 282 tons, nearly one-third larger than any of the vessels at present in the service, and cost the Court of Directors 6,5831., their contract being in this instance that she should be delivered at Calcutta. She left Glasgow on the 30th October, and, in comparison with other vessels that have lately arrived, has made a passage that speaks well for her sailing qualities. We believe the experiment of an iron pilot vessel originated with the late Captain Harrington; and if found to answer, we suspect the superior economy of them will be great.-Calcutta Star, March 6. THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.-The annual meeting of proprietors and subscribers was held on Tuesday last. The number of proprietors is ninety-two, and the average number of subscribers for the past year has been about one hundred and twenty-six. The number of volumes circulated during the year has been 17,488. HORSE SALE. A second sale of English and Mecklenburgh horses took place at Mackenzie, Lyall, and Co.'s repository, when the remaining thirty were sold at prices ranging from 500 to 800 rupees each. 66 NEW PENSION FUND.-A prospectus has been published of an 'India Universal Pension Fund," to enable individuals not in the services to make provision for their families by way of monthly pension. The handsome tribute, which the community of Dacca have presented to their late judge, Mr. Cook, proceeding to Europe in the Prince of Wales, consists of two beautiful silver jugs and a silver salver, one of the jugs being the offering of a zemindar of high rank; both the design and workmanship are by Messrs. Lattey, Brothers, and they are extremely chaste and well executed. The Delhi Gazette describes a tremendous storm which has spread desolation through a range of six hundred miles, from Ferozepore all along the Himalaya to Cawnpore. Lightning, thunder, and deluges of rain marked this visitation. The tents of the marching regiments had a foot of water in them, and the camp became a swamp. NORTH-WESTERN BANK.-A dividend has been declared at the rate of ten per cent. per annum. The friends and patients of Dr. Goodeve bave subscribed about Rs. 5,000, which they have placed at his disposal, to enable him to purchase a breakfast-service of silver-plate, as a testimony of their respect and esteem. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.-The 3rd cavalry arrived on the 5th at Loodiana from Ferozepore en route to Umballa, where it is said the regiment will halt till it receives further orders. It is rumoured that the 54th N. I. and 44th N.I. are to pro. ceed to Ferozepore. The 9th light cavalry, commanded by Col. Storey, c.B. arrived at Allyghur on the 9th instant in progress to Cawnpore: which station they expect to reach about the 28th of this, or the 1st of next month. There was heavy rain at Allyghur on the day of the regiment's arrival, and the weather threatened more. Major Broadfoot was at Loodiana on the 6th instant, and proposed leaving that station for Ferozepore. He is watching with a sharp eye the progress of events, and is well adapted for the post he occupies. During these disturbed times in the Punjaub, he is just the man to provide against contingencies. All the Ghauts near the Sutlej are diligently watched day and night, to prevent any sudden incursion into our territories. This shews that such an event is not altogether unexpected. The 45th Bengal inf. which reached Umballah on the 4th, are sadly off for want of houses, all being obliged to build or put up with what they can get in the shape of stables and out-houses. Their situation is any thing but a pleasant one certainly, but they ought to bear up with patience, considering that they are sure to have an honourable position when the crossing of the frontier comes to be seriously talked of. The 59th Bengal inf. will have left Neemuch on the 8th inst. and may be expected at Delhi, where they will receive further orders about the 15th of March. The 46th Bengal inf. from Berhampoor, expect to reach Benares, where further orders await them, on the 1st or 2nd of March. We hear that the communication between Berhampoor and the nearest point of the Grand Trunk Road is very bad, all ups and downs, intersected with water-courses in all directions, affording a long account of hackeries lost, and hackeries broken. To mend matters, the regiment experienced a heavy storm of wind and rain on the night of the 28th January, which blew down almost all the men's tents. One of the officers' tents also came down. The 17th Bengal inf. are marching in company with H. M.'s 53rd, two stages in advance of the 46th. The 21st and 49th, marching between the new road and Ber hampoor, were both attacked with cholera and suffered, the latter considerably. The 9th regt. It. cav. reached Allyghur, in progress to Cawnpoor, on the 9th inst., and H.M.'s 62nd were expected there on the 11th, yesterday. The 3rd It. cav. have been ordered to halt at Umballah until further orders, as previously, though doubtfully announced. The amount of treasure in charge of three companies of the 11th Bengal inf. is twenty lakhs.-Delhi Gaz., Feb. 12. Capt. Ewart's native troop of horse artil. was to follow the 59th N.I. on the 10th, and is still under orders for Meerut. We have heard that, besides the extension already mentioned as likely to take place at Meerut, lines for an additional corps of native infantry have been marked out at that place, which will thus become the largest, as it is one of the best, military sta. tions in India. H.M.'s 80th foot are, we now understand, under orders to proceed as far north as Agra.-Ibid. H.M.'s 10TH REGT.-We are glad to hear that H.M.'s 10th regt. had very nearly completed their long march to Meerut on the 14th inst., at which date they were at Allyghur, six marches from the former place. The weather had been favourable enough throughout the march, and, fortunately, the general health of the regiment very good. Out of 800 strong, many recruits fresh from England, there had been but seven casualties. The regiment had halted some days at Cawnpore, where it enjoyed the liberal hospitality of the 9th lancers. At Benares it was inspected by Gen. Alexander, who remembers the regiment in Egypt. Along the line of march the regiment fell in with, and entertained prandially, some native infantry corps-the 25th at one place, the 60th at another.-Bengal Hurkaru, Feb. 22. The following letter is stated, by the Delhi Gazette, to have been circulated at Meerut by several officers of rank and influence : : "To the Honourable the Court of Directors of the East-India Company. "Honourable Sirs,-We, the undersigned officers of the military service of your Honourable Court, desire to approach you with the expression of our heartfelt gratitude for the boon which you have lately bestowed upon us, by granting pensions to the widows and other female relatives of officers killed in action. "The liberality which you have upon all occasions displayed towards us has naturally strengthened those feelings of zeal and devotion which we are proud to entertain as British soldiers, and as the servants of munificent masters; but in this instance you have reminded us of our most sacred ties on earth, and have proved to us that you are ever mindful of our interests and welfare by bestowing upon your officers this liberal and unsolicited boon. "Of the favours, and they are many, which have been from time to time granted to us by your Honourable Court, favours which we have endeavoured to deserve by the display of unremitting zeal in your service, there has not been one which has appealed so directly, or so forcibly, to the best and strongest feelings of our nature as the one for which we are now attempting to express our gratitude. "We are confident that you will never have cause to regret this fresh instance of your generosity towards us, and that you will always find us, as we respectfully subscribe ourselves, "Your most faithful and obedient servants." Sir Robert Sale and his lady, with their two daughters and two grandchildren, accompanied by Miss Dysart, are on their way to join the commander-in-chief. It is more than probable that the ladies will proceed direct to Simla. We very much regret to hear that Major Broadfoot, c. B., is seriously unwell.-Hurkaru. The commander-in-chief arrived at Suharunpore from Kur. naul on the 13th instant, and will remain there about a week. He then intends proceeding to visit the Landour Depôt, Mussoorie, and Hurdwar, and thence it is said he goes to Umballa and Simla for the hot season and rains. It is understood that Major General Sir Thomas Valiant, K.c. B., upon being relieved by Sir Robert Sale, will immediately start for Calcutta, to take the command of Fort William. It is thought that H. M. 40th regiment will not embark for England until next December. OFFICERS PROMOTED TO THE RANK OF COLONEL.-Lieut. col. Julius George Griffiths, of the Bombay artillery, by brevet; Lieut. col. commandant John Wilson, of the Madras infantry; Lieut. col. Alexander Mason, c. B., of the Bombay artillery, by brevet; Lieut. col. commandant Samuel Shaw, of the Bengal artillery, and Lieut. col. Frederick Larkans Doveton, of the Madras cavalry, by brevet, from Dec. 26, 1844, and to stand between Cols. Henry Hall, c.B., and Henry Lewis White, of the Bengal infantry; Lieut. col. C. B. James, of the Bombay infan try, by brevet, and Lieut. col. J. H. Dunsterville, of the Bombay infantry by brevet, from Jan. 1, 1845, and to stand between Cols. Henry Lewis White and Alexander Speirs, of the Bengal infantry. A letter, dated Umballah, Feb. 23, says-" The 38th N.I. are going to Kurnaul, and the 3rd L. C. are ordered to Meerut." It is rumoured the artillery augmentation will appear on the 1st of July, or early in that month. The 36th regt. arrived at Benares, from Dinapore, on 27th March. Lieut. col. Barnard, 45th N. I., is shortly expected to retire from the service. The 8th N.I. arrived at Allahabad on the 22nd March. GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORDERS. Fort William, Feb. 21, 1845.-The Right Hon. the GovernorGeneral in Council is pleased to resolve that all engineer officers, on their first arrival in Bengal, and previously to proceeding to join the corps of Sappers and Miners, shall in future be attached to the office of the civil architect at the presidency, for a period of three months, for the purpose of acquiring a practical knowledge of the detail of construction of iron suspension bridges, and of the mode of erecting them.
