Arrivals.-Lieutenant R. O. Gardener, 50th N.I. from Madras; Major C. Fladgate, European Infantry Veteran Company from Chicacole; Captain J. C. Shaw, first Assistant to the Civil Engineers from the Rajahmundry District; and the Rev. Mr. Gordon, from Chicacole. Departure.-Lieutenant R. O. Gardener, 50th N.I. to Cuttack. BELLARY, April 4.-The troops composing the garrison, namely, H. M.'s 63rd regt., part of the B. company artillery, 5th N.I., and 25th N. I., were assembled on Monday morning last, the 31st ultimo, on the ground, for brigade exercise. Each man was supplied with eight rounds of blank ammunition; the whole were commanded by Lieut. col. Grantham, 5th N. I. (this corps arrived here a short time ago from Cannanore, and has brought a most excellent band). Major gen. Woulfe and staff were present. A number of evolutions were steadily performed, but owing to the want of cavalry (the 2nd having left this) the field day did not come off with such brilliancy as formerly. On the night of the 3rd inst. the Amateur Theatre of H.M.'s 63rd regiment was re-opened, and the community were entertained with the nautical drama of the "Ocean Child" in two acts, followed by the laughable farce of " A Rowland for an Oliver." Between the pieces dancing and singing, &c. were introduced; and be. tween the acts the band of the regiment performed some splendid new pieces of music. The house was well filled, particularly by the beau monde; and the performers were all perfect in their parts and played admirably; in short, every thing went off excellently, and every one seemed highly gratified. BANGALORE, April 4.-On Tuesday morning last, the remains of a respectable, pious, and worthy old soldier, Mr. Michael Bance, were committed to their long home here. He had served his country for upwards of half a century, having come to this country with H.M.'s 22nd Dragoons in 1796, and served in that corps and in H.M.'s 13th Dragoons, until pensioned as a sergeant-major a few years ago. During his lengthened period of service, he universally held the confidence and estimation of his superiors, as well as the respect of his inferiors; and few non-commissioned officers ever led a more useful and exemplary life than Serjeant-Major Bance. He has left a family, who happily from his prudence and economy are well provided for. He suffered a painful and lengthened illness with pious resignation, and died the death of a sincere Christian. His funeral was numerously attended, as all the pensioners at the station seemed desirous of paying his remains their last tribute of respect. The 21st N. I., now marching in the division, arrived at Chittledroog all well. On Monday, the 31st ult., the 43rd N.I. paraded in heavy marching order, and was minutely inspected by Major gen. Allan, who was pleased to express his approbation of the appearance of the men, and the efficient state of their arms and appointments, &c. The sword exercise was gone through, by all who are instructed in it, and elicited approbation. The general then visited the regimental stores, lines, and hospital, with all of which he was pleased to express himself fully satisfied. On Tuesday, the 1st inst., the general saw the regiment out at garrison duties, and in the course of the day inspected the books of the regiments, with which he was much pleased. On Thursday the 3d inst. target practice, the firing allowed to be excellent, after which the regiment was put through various manœuvres by several of the junior officers, much to the satisfaction of all who witnessed them. On Saturday morning last the review took place on the cantonment parade ground near the church. On the general's arrival he was received with the usual salute. The regiment then marched past in slow and quick time saluting in the usual manner. This was remarkably well done, and elicited the admiration of numerous spectators, and competent judges. The manual and platoon exercise was then gone through in good time, with precision and exactness. After which the various manœuvres were performed in a steady and correct manner. At the conclusion, Major general Allan, C. B. addressed Lieut. Col. Watson the commanding officer, in very flattering terms, stating how highly satisfied he was with all he had seen from the commencement of the inspection down to the close of the review, as every thing connected with the regiment was most creditable to him, his officers, and all ranks of the 43rd.

MISCELLANEOUS. NATIVE ENTERPRIZE.—We are happy to notice the spirit of enterprize recently displayed by the native community, who not merely embark in speculations in combination with Europeans, but have imbibed so much of the spirit of the latter as to venture on undertakings that a few years ago they would have met with decided disinclination and repugnance. About three years since, a company of natives was formed for steam-navigation between the northern ports of Guzerat and Bombay; the experiment was successful, and within the last week another vessel has been There is also a rival launched belonging to the same company. company, which purposes to have iron steamers, and to ply between the same ports as the old company's vessels: one steamer, the Phlor, is already on the line, and others are expected to follow within the current year. The same enterprizing native firm that originated the first Bombay steam-company has lately set up a steam saw-mill at Mazagon, and the result of this introduction of steam-power to the useful arts has been attended with success, much in advance of the most sanguine expectations of its projectors. This spirit of laudable enterprize is not confined merely to the presidency, but has extended its transforming and energetic influence to the Mofussil. In Bengal and elsewhere there is much talk about the introduction of European machinery and other improvements, which, however, after being praised by some influential baboos, has ended for the present in smoke. On this side of India we frequently hear nothing of the march of improvement until an announcement is made that a company has been formed, and that the whole of the capital has been subscribed. An instance of this silent but effectual mode of native enterprize is now before us. At Surat, a company has been formed for the purpose of manufacturing paper by European machinery. The whole of the shares into which the capital was divided were taken in a few days, and a managing committee appointed to carry the project into execution. The first intimation that reached us of this onward movement in the Mofussil was at the stage when, as we are credibly informed, the machi. nery was on its way to India from England. This is certainly "going ahead" in Sam Slick's true style. The Surat movement, we believe, is chiefly attributable to a gentleman in Bombay, who, during a short stay at Surat, endeavoured to impress on the respectable natives of that city the benefits which the inhabitants would derive from the introduction of European machinery. Under the auspices of the same gentleman, we believe, the above company has been organized, and as we are deeply interested in the advancement of the natives, we wish them every success. Greater undertakings, we are assured, are being fostered in Guzerat; and we have reason to believe that, ere long, a company will be formed for the manufacture of cotton and piece-goods by European machinery, and under the superintendence of European artisans. The carrying of this project into execution will form a new era in the history of India, and of English connection with its Government. The removal of the cotton staple from the tree to the spinning-jenny, without the intermediate and injurious processes of screwing, shipment, exportation to England, and the subsequent operations of cleaning, &c. will completely change the course of English commerce with the East, and cast no small portion of the manufacturing revenue of England (estimated at eighteen millions sterling for cotton goods only) into the hands of the native manufacturers of India. The idea is not a mere chimera-shares to the amount of £30,000, or three lakhs of rupees, are already secured for this novel undertaking. This enterprize also owes its origin to the gentleman alluded to above, who, in some remarks circulated a short time ago in the English and native languages, makes the following observations:-"If England is a country of manufacturers depending upon the sale of commodities it fabricates, India is much more entitled to the appellation; and if the ob ject of England be to dispose of its manufactures by laying imposts and a partial prohibition upon those of India, and allowing English goods to enter the ports of India upon payment of a nominal duty, could a more severe mode of oppression be devised against the industry and sustenance of the Hindoos? English goods are forced upon the natives of India, and those of Indian manufacture prohibited. The policy of England, viz. to dispose of its manufactures, should be the course adopted by the Hindoos. India at present sends nearly the whole of her raw materials to be manufactured in Great Britain or China; these commodities are afterwards purchased by the natives, necessarily at a considerable disadvantage. The reason of this is obvious; the hand-labourers of India cannot compete with the machinery of Europe, or the low rate of wages in China. The introduction, therefore, of European machinery into India would obviously enable the natives of the latter country to manufacture the raw materials for their own and foreign use, and restore to Hindostan its former source of opulence. * Of all the sources for employing machinery in India, the manufacturing of cotton and piece-goods are manifestly the most useful and profitable, and the best calculated to make a quick and good return for outlay of capital. The demand for these goods, by both the vast population of India and the adjoining countries, the great saving by non-shipment of the raw material to Europe, and subsequent expenses, the injury the cotton sustains after its removal from the tree, the choice of quality, and the stimulus it * * * * * will give to native enterprize and industry, must be sufficiently obvious, and need little more than a mere recital to convince the most sceptical of the success of the undertaking. Considering the poverty of the Hindoos, need we wonder that, of the eighty millions of pounds of cotton sent annually from India to England, not more than two millions of pounds weight of the manufactured article is consumed in India? By esta blishing manufactories at Surat, Gogo. or Broach, these charges would be avoided, and the choice of quality which the Indian manufacturer would have, and the non-injury of the staple, would defy English or Chinese competition. The Guzerat manufacturer, realizing at least 200 per cent., could offer cotton and piece goods at less than one-tenth of the present cost, and the Indian manufacturer would thus become an opulent man and a benefactor of his country. * * Aided at first by European skill, the natives of Guzerat and other parts will as readily manufacture cotton, &c. as their native brethren do at Pondicherry, where about 600 natives are employed in one establishment. * When the natives become familiar with the uses of machinery, it will render them politically and morally superior to the mass of inhabitants in Asia, and produce a greater and more desirable change in their social condition than any political measure could possibly effect. A taste for the arts would be generally diffused, artificial wants would be created, which would give fresh scope for the products of industry, and an emulous and national feeling would be inspired, such as at at present is unknown. As no art is insulated, but connected with others, moral advancement is in a great measure ensured by commerce and manufactures, and the union of industry in a powerful degree constitutes the strength and security of kingdoms; for, however impoverished by wars, when injured they can the more easily repair their losses by means of industry if under an enlightened government; and the encouragement which is thus given to industry confers abundant happiness, where, if otherwise, there would be abject misery."-Bombay Courier. H. M. 78TH HIGHLANDERS. Shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon, the 78th regt. (highlanders) left the barracks, and marched to the Apollo Bunder, for embarkation to Panwell. It was a melancholy sight to see the few men of this once fine corps who proceeded to the Deccan. They were scarcely more than, if even, the sixth part of their number on landing in India, not three years back. Since their arrival, a month ago, in Bombay, they lost twenty-three men, two women, and four children. A number of the men equal, we believe, to that which has proceeded to Panwell, have been invalided, and will, it is said, be put on board the Columbus, in which ship they came to India, and which has sent in tenders for their passage.-Gent.'s Gazette, April 5. STEAMER PLUTO.-The Bengal Government steamer Pluto, which is now in dock undergoing repairs, is, as we hear, destined to start next month for China, in order to replace the Medusa for a term of years.-Bombay Times, April 5. There are now three steamers, for the arrival of which there is an eager expectation. They are the Sir James R. Carnac, from Ceylon; the Seostris; which went to sea sixteen days ago in search of the Berenice; and the Victoria, which is to bring the Mails from Suez.-Ibid. The steamer frigate Semiramis started yesterday afternoon for Sinde; she took a detachment of artillerymen, and had in tow four of the boats intended for the bridges on the Indus. It is conjectured that she may bring back a regiment to Bombay; the 8th N. I. is spoken of; but although it is currently reported that the governor of Scinde has declared that, since his late successes, he can spare a regiment, it may be doubted if any of them will be removed until the affairs of the Punjaub, whither the troops from Bengal are hastening, shall have been satisfactorily settled.-Gent.'s Gazette, April 5. CHOLERA. We regret to hear that cholera prevails very extensively around Hurryhur. A sepoy of the 28th Madras N. I. was attacked on the 27th Jan.; from which date there were fourteen cases, eleven of which proved fatal. Amongst the families of the corps there had occurred from five to six cases daily on an average since their arrival. The families of the 21st N.I. who came in advance of the regiment, and were encamped on the Dharwar side of the river, have lost from fifteen to twenty a day. Our correpondent proceeds to state "The regiment (i.e. the 21st) came in here on the 21st, up to which date they had not had a single case of cholera, but that very day one sepoy died, and what will be the result of the junction of the families with the regiment it is unfortunately not difficult to conjecture. The immunity of the regiment, however, when marching alone, affords a strong reason for the adoption of this practice in future, it being generally admitted that among the camp-followers the disease is most frequent and most virulent in its form. A singular circumstance in the 28th regiment is, that no case has occurred in a company beyond the first four. These companies' lines are nearest to Hurryhur and the river. The suspected cause of the mischief is miasmata. The fact confirms what has often been observed-that the disease is very partial in its prevalence, and that often a very slight change of position insures an escape from its attacks. The 21st leaves to-morrow (24th) for Madras, vid Bangalore. The weather is very hot in the day, the thermometer reaching 92 degrees in a bungalow." -Bombay Times, April 5. H.M.'s 78th Highlanders, under command of Major Twopeny, embarked yesterday for Panwell, en route to Poona: -strength 7 officers, 25 sergeants, and 289 rank and file.-Ibid. COURTS MARTIAL. ENS. GEORGE SOAMES, 2ND EUR. L.I. Camp Belgaum, Feb. 13.-At a European General Court Martial assembled at Belgaum, on Monday, March 17, 1815, and of which Major C. Wahab, 16th M. N. I. was president, Ensign George Soames, of the 2nd Eur. L.I., was tried on the following charges, viz. Ens. G. Soames, 2nd Bombay Eur. L.I. placed in arrest by me on the following charges, viz. 1st Charge. For conduct, to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, in having in cantonment, near Belgaum, on the 20th day of January, 1845, when orderly officer of the 2nd Bombay Eur. L. I., neglected his duty in not having visited the guards of his regiment at sunset and half-past eight o'clock P.M., nor collected the roll-call reports at tatto. 2nd Charge. For conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, and to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, in having at the same place, in a letter dated Belgaum, the 20th day of Jan. 1845, and addressed to the officer commanding the 2nd regt. Eur. L. I. falsely reported that he, Ensign Soames, had, on the preceding evening, visited the regimental guards at sunset, and again after collecting the reports at tatto roll-call-the said Ensign Soames being at the time of writing such reports, well aware that he was stating a direct and deliberate falsehood. The above being in breach of the Articles of War. (Signed) H. D. ROBERTSON, Lieut.col. comdg. 2nd E. L. I. Adjutant-general's Office, Bombay, Feb. 25, 1845. By order of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. C. HAGART, Lieut. col. Adjutant-general of the Army. Upon which charges the Court came to the decision as below. Finding. The Court, having maturely weighed and considered the evidence before it, is of opinion that the prisoner is guilty of the first charge, with the exception of the date, which the Court find to be the 19th, and not the 20th of January, 1845, as set forth in the charge. That the prisoner is guilty of the second charge. Sentence.-The Court having found the prisoner Ensign George Soames, of the 2nd regt. Bombay European It. inf. guilty to the extent above specified, does adjudge him, Ensign George Soames, to be cashiered. (Sd.) CHAS. Wahab, Major and President. (Sd.) T. R. WYNTER, Capt., 1 Actg. depy. Judge Adv. Approved and confirmed, but in consequence of the recom. mendation of the Court I shall remit the sentence. (Sd.) THOMAS MCMAHON, Lieut. gen. and Commander-in-Chief. Recommendation of the Court.-The Court having performed the painful duty of passing sentence, in strict accordance with the articles of war, which leave it no discretionary power, and in consideration of the deep contrition evinced by the prisoner, together with his youth and inexperience, begs most respectfully to recommend him to the merciful consideration of his Excellency the Commander-in-chief. (Signed) CHARLES WAHAB, Major and President. REMARKS BY THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. -- Ensign Soames has been justly adjudged to be cashiered; but taking all the circumstances of the case into full consideration, I feel myself justified in attending to the recommendation of the court in favour of this young officer by restoring him to the functions of his commission. The offences exhibited in the foreign charges are of a very serious nature, both in a military and moral point of view, but no instance of them will I trust again occur in this army, and Ensign Soames having experienced the present great lenity, I indulge the hope that I may fully rely on the solemn assurance with which he concludes his address to the Court, that it will be his endeavour by future care, and attention and regularity, to evince that the painful lesson of this trial, and the two months of arrest, have not been allowed to pass without having made a salutary impression on his mind. (Signed) THOMAS MCMAHON, Lieut. gen, and Commander-in-Chief. Ensign George Soames is to be released from arrest and directed to return to his duty. By order of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief.

In order that the Chief Government may be able to take an exact cognizance of all the foreigners who reside in these islands, and of those who shall come to them with the object of establishing themselves or to remain for a longer or shorter time, and to insure the punctual observance of as much as is material to be known of the existing royal orders, it is decreed as follows:Article 1st.-The ordinary alcalde of the 2nd election shall draw up annually a general statement (in duplicate) of foreigners whom he finds in the capital and suburbs, as well as those who have fixed residences, shopkeepers, clerks of commercial houses, travellers, or persons with a temporary licence, one copy of which he shall keep, and remit the other to this Government. 2nd. For which purpose every foreigner must present himself to the said ordinary alcalde within the first ten days of each year, with the original license which he holds, whether from her Majesty or the Chief Government, to reside in this country, in order that there may be inscribed in a register to be kept for that purpose, his name, age, country, profession, length of time he has resided in this country, house and street where he dwells, and if the license is indefinite, or for a certain period. The consuls shall send direct to the Chief Government the lists of their families. 3rd.-Those foreigners who shall arrive at this capital with the intention of remaining, and who shall be unprovided with passports, shall not be at liberty to disembark unless they present, at the office of the captain of the port, a known person who will be security for them. Those things which they bring must be delivered to the captain of the port. Both must present themselves before the third day to the alcade of the second election, and solicit within the same period permission to reside for the time which is necessary for their business. Any one failing to comply with these regulations will be obliged to re-embark. 4th. In order to regulate the before-mentioned register, the said alcalde shall note the landing and embarking of the foreigners who enter, reside in, or depart from the capital, notifying from time to time any change, or if there are any whose license being expired are not entered in the register as having left the country, or as having obtained a prolongation or renewal of the permission to reside. 5th. In order that no foreigner may enter or depart from these islands without the foregoing particulars being entered in the register, the captain of the port must take care to shew these regulations to all who arrive. The said captain of the port shall not allow any foreigner to embark unless he see in his passport the note of the alcalde of his having been apprized of his intention to depart; but if the foreigner is pressed for time, and is unable to present himself at the office of the alcalde, the captain of the port shall take a note, which he shall forthwith deliver to the alcade, for the above purpose. 6th.-Passengers who may be in the ships in which they arrive, for the purpose of going to another port, and sleep in them, shall be at liberty to land for their affairs, during the day time and the first hours of the night, without any other document than a line from the captain of the vessel, viséd by the captain of the port, certifying him to be passenger on board said vessel. 7th. The foregoing regulations do not apply to the chiefs and officers of vessels of war who shall be entered directly with this Government. 8th.-No stranger shall go more than two leagues from Manilla without my special passport. The petty governors and justices in the towns shall detain those who come without this passport, and. send them to the alcade of the 2nd election. The penalty which those will incur who endeavour surreptitiously to penetrate into the interior will be expulsion from the island. 9th. The respective chief alcaldes shall give particulars of those foreigners who are settled in the provinces to this Government. 10th.-No fees shall be exacted for the entries, notes, or any other of the above business, except for passports, which shall be paid for according to the tariff. And for the punctual fulfilment of this ordinance, and that those whom it concerns may not allege ignorance, let it be printed, published, and circulated. NARCISCO CLAVERIA. NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. Our old friend, AN OLD VOYAGER, may rest assured that we shall do all in our power to comply with his wishes. We are deeply impressed with the importance of the subject on which CLERICUS addresses us, and most anxious to advance the object which he has in view. ALLEN'S INDIAN MAIL, LONDON, SATURDAY, May 24, 1845. ENGLISHMEN have the reputation of loving fair play. Justice to poor and rich, to great and small, to weak and strong, is one of their proudest boasts. Unhappily there are some few instances in which our doctrine is not carried into practice, nor our theory reduced to action. The colo |
