MADRAS.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The (s.v.) Bentinck, with the English mail of March 24, arrived at Madras on the 30th April.

LIEUT. COL. TULLOCH, C.B. has been elected a director of the bank of Madras vice Malcolm Lewin, esq.

Three regiments have determined on memorializing the Court of Directors upon the furlough question.

The H.C. steamer Tenasserim, and H. C. ship Amherst, arrived at Madras on the 24th April, with detachments of H. M.'s 84th reg. under the command, in the former vessel, of Major Clark; and, in the latter, of Col. Mac Bean.

We understand that the 35th N. I. when, at Sircee, received a route directing them to go vid Sheemooga, Cadoor, and Seringapatam, to Mercara, but that the superintendent of Nuggur division gave such a deplorable account of the ravages of cholera, throughout the whole of his division, as to induce an alteration in the route of the corps, which has marched via Honore. Two companies embarked on the 18th, and arrived at Mangalore on the 19th April. Four companies followed them on the 22nd, at which date also the head-quarters reached Honore.

The passengers by the ship Tartar, recently arrived at Madras, have presented the commander, Captain Gregson, with a handsome silver tea service, as a mark of their sense of his gentlemanly deportment, and their entire confidence in his nautical skill, and great ability as a commander.

A letter from Ootacamund, dated April 28, states-We have had beautiful weather during the past week, but over to the westward on the Koondahs, thunder-storms have been frequent. The cholera, I am sorry to learn, still rages with undiminished violence in the villages along the Mysore road, and an informant recently from these parts states that the people are deserting them fast, not even staying to bury the dead. At one place he passed upwards of thirty bodies uninterred, and poisoning the air with pestilence. At Coimbatore also I learn that this scourge of the East has broken out, but not, I believe, with the violence which marks its progress in Mysore.

A detatchment of H. M. 94th regt. under the command of Captain Maunsell, embarked on board the H. C. transport Amherst, for Moulmein on the 29th April.

We hear that the Rev. Mr. Shortland has been appointed to the chaplaincy of Vepery, vacant by the departure of Mr.

Cotterill to Europe. The rumour has also reached us, though we are unable to vouch for its certainty, that the Rev. R. K. Hamilton will succeed Mr. Cotterill in the chaplaincy of the Military Male Asylum.-Record, April 29.

The left wing of H.M. 57th regt. under the command of Major Randolph, arrived at Arcot on the 27th April.

The 3rd Madras Cavalry have been ordered to Kulludgee. The 1st N. I. under Capt. Graham, strength 13 officers and 793 rank and file, arrived at Kolapore on the 30th April. The wing of the 5th Madras Light Cavalry, commanded by Capt. Wroughton, arrived at Sholapore from Kolapore on the 30th April.

Fort St. George, May 2nd, 1845.-The most noble the Governor in Council directs it to be intimated for general information with reference to G. O. G. March 12th, 1844, No. 43, that the provisions of paragraphs 9 to 11 are applicable to all subalterns who may have been in charge of troops or companies, and all assistant-surgeons who may have held medical charge of corps, at any period prior to Sept. 12, 1844, and who may, from whatever cause, have vacated such charges, either before or after that date, and that they are consequently required to pass the prescribed examination to entitle them to the allowances attached to the charges in question.

EXAMINATION OF THE FREE CHURCH INSTITUTION.—At the annual examination of this institution, the Hon. the Governor of Bombay, Sir Erskine Perry, and a respectable number of other Europeans, were present. The exercises of the day were commenced with an appropriate prayer by the Rev. George Candy, minister of Trinity Chapel. The examination throughout was an interesting one. That of the classes on the Scripture lessons by Narayan, one of the converts, particularly so. especially those read by the converts Homusjee and Narayan, were such as to do credit to themselves and to the institution. At the close, the governor, in a few remarks, expressed himself as highly pleased with what he had seen and heard, as also his best wishes for the continued prosperity of the institution: and we doubt not that in this he expressed the feelings of all who were present. The school then united in singing under the direction of Mr. Cassidy. The number of students in attendance on the institution during the last month was, Hindoos 74, Christians 67, Israelites 35, Mohammedans 10,— total 186.

BELGAUM. We have letters from our correspondent at Belgaum up to the 4th instant. The proceedings of the courtmartial on Colonel Wallace, left Belgaum for the Presidency on Friday last. The members of the Court are obliged to remain in the vicinity of the station, until the Court is dissolved in G.O. We understand that some of them, viz. General McNeil, Colonels Cotton and Poole, and Major George, with an escort of irregular horse, have proceeded to Goa, and others are amusing themselves in different ways, while a few remain at Belgaum. The Madras artillery stationed at Belgaum were to leave that station for Kolapore on the 5th. This order seems to have given great umbrage to the Madras troops, and would appear to have been issued without mature consideration.

The plot to kidnap the young Rajah of Kolapore is thus detailed by our correspondent. It appears that, in the beginning of April, it was reported to Capt. Graham (during the absence of Mr. Reeves), that a person named Rambut had arrived at Kolapore, with the view of prevailing on the young rajah to quit the town. On receipt of this intelligence, Rambut was immediately apprehended; and on his examination it was discovered that many of the Kolaporeans living on the frontiers of Sattara were implicated in this design, and that they were aided by one Ruckwaldar Naik, the head man of a village, and in the pay of H. H. the Rajah of Sattara. This intelligence was transmitted to Capt. Hart, the officiating resident at Sattara. We do not know what confidence to place in this story, as it was confessedly derived from a native source.

Regarding the movement of troops, our correspondent says:"The 3rd Madras cavalry has been ordered to Belgaum. The left wing 8th M. N. I. is still here. Capt. Adams, the assist. quarter-master gen., proceeds to-morrow to Samanghur on duty, to survey all around there. By a mistake, the future destination of the Bellary artillery at Belgaum, and the detachment of the 23rd M. L. I. at Kolapore, have been overlooked. The artillery suffer great inconvenience and annoyance at Belgaum.

"The weather here has changed a great deal since last week. We have had many showers of rain, and the place is now quite cold."-Bombay Courier, May 12.

INDIAN NAVAL CLUB.-We learn with pleasure that rapid progress is being made in the organization of this institution, and that it will speedily have a local habitation and a name. It has long occurred to us that there was ample scope for a club within the fort, the distance of that at Byculla effectually preventing those of its members, whose daily avocations demand their presence in town, from availing themselves of it save of an evening. To the success of such a club, however, we considered catho. licity absolutely necessary; for with our limited European population, and the proportion which benedicts bear to the whole, we scarcely imagined that a 'Military" one-still less one purely "Civil" or purely "Naval"-could succeed. To an exclusively "Naval" Club we had still further objections. Knowing as we do the vast social gap which difference of rank creates afloat, and that the feelings of the quarter-deck do extend to the drawing-room and dining-table, we feared lest the seniors might withdraw from it, and itself degenerate into a mere houseof call for the junior midshipmen. Our fears on this score exist no longer. The committee, we understand, has been most judiciously selected from all the grades in the service, and the acting superintendent-Captain Lynch-has, we are assured, taken a warm interest in its success, and extended to it a very effectual patronage. Though the club is, and will continue to be, the "Indian Naval" one, arrangements have been made for the admission of honorary members on terms of liberality which far

exceed those of any similar institution, and such as we have little doubt will be very gratefully, very extensively, availed of by the military and civil services. A reading-room, well supplied with periodicals, is, we understand, to be attached, and we hope soon to hear that the nucleus of a museum has been added: this, in a short time, cannot fail to become a large and valuable one—that is, if the Indian Naval Officers will only exert themselves for their own museum with one half the energy which they have displayed towards enriching kindred collections.- Bombay Times.

THE MAHIM AND BANDORA CAUSEWAY.-We have pleasure in giving prominence in the following address from a body of the inhabitants of Salsette to Sir Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy, expressive of their gratitude for the erection of the Causeway, with the worthy Knight's reply thereto. It is gratifying to find that the benefits contemplated in the construction of this causeway, are borne testimony to and appreciated by those for whom they were principally designed. ADDRESS.

(Translated from the Marathi.)

To the Protector of the Poor, the Prop of Charitable Institutions, the virtuous and respected Sir Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy, Knight.

From all the ryots of Salsette, who, after invoking blessings on you, respectfully beg to state that formerly travellers from Bandora to Mahim and vice versa were conveyed over the creek in a ferry-boat, and consequently were subjected to much annoyance and suffering, and frequently to loss of life during the flood-tide and during the rains, from the rugged state of the shore on the Bandora side, where people on many occasions were cast on the rocks. They had also to wait on the shore for hours together for the ferry-boat; and even if it were required to go from one side to another on the most urgent affairs, the passenger was not allowed to step on board the ferry boat by the government boatmen without their receiving from him half or a quarter anna, and if he were a great man it was customary to exact more. Besides this, travellers were subjected to pay one pie per head to government. In this manner the poor ryot suffered great hardship and inconvenience at this ferry, and it was left for your benevolence and liberality to extricate them from such hurdship. It is you who represented all these public grievances to the Honourable the Governor in Council, and expended lakhs of rupees towards the erection of this magnificent causeway, and we therefore feel as deeply grateful to you as one stricken with extreme poverty does towards his benefactor who places him in affluence and plenty, or as one overcome with hunger and thirst does towards the person who supplies his wants. To describe our feeling adequately on this occasion would extend this letter to a great length; we therefore write thus briefly, praying Almighty God to bestow upon you and your family every worldly comfort, and tenfold more wealth than you now possess.

Dated 8th April, 1845.

SIR JAMSETJEE'S REPLY.

JOHN VAUPELL, Esq; MANUEL DE SOUZA, Esq., Mamlutdar of Salsette and Caranja; BAPOOJEE GOVIND, Sheristadar; and other landed proprietors of Salsette.

Gentlemen-I beg you will accept my sincere thanks for your gratifying address of the 8th ult., presented to me on the occasion of the completion of the Mahim and Bandora Causeway.

Enough has already been said respecting the benefits arising from a work of this nature, particularly to the inhabitants of Salsette, and it is only necessary therefore for me to reiterate my expressions of joy that this charitable undertaking has at length been successfully carried through, and that it proves of as much advantage to the community as was anticipated.

I trust every happiness and comfort may attend you and your families.

I remain, Gentlemen, you most obedient servant, (Signed) JAMSETJEE JEEJEEBHOY. REWARDS TO MERIT.-On Wednesday last, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Sir Erskine Perry, the president of the Board of Education, presented to Bhogilal Pramwulubhdass the gold medal which was awarded to him at the last annual examination of the Elphinstone Native Education Institution, and which, on

account of some unavoidable circumstances, was not ready at the time of the annual meeting. The speech pronounced on the occasion was alike luminous and interesting. The learned President expressed his gratification at the very high attainments and extreme good conduct of the young man, and what enhanced his merits were the difficulties under which he had so successfully prosecuted his studies and obtained a knowledge of the English language, which he was henceforth to teach to his country. men. Although advanced in years, the difficulties which deterred many from attempting the task, did not deter him from pursuing the paths of knowledge and of science. It was to be remarked that, while other portions of the globe were rapidly improving, and every day making discoveries in science and art, and thereby adding to the comfort and happiness of mankind, India had been stationary for the last two thousand years. Men of his caste (Bunya) had acquired immense riches and were very charitable, but none of them during so long a period had made a figure in history. Bhogilal was now the most learned Bunya in India. He is to be appointed English master of a school established by the Rajah of Joudhpoor, and there he was to solve the difficulties and answer the objections raised against European literature and science. It was evident that this young man, as well as many others educated like himself, had it in their power to do great good to their countrymen, and that all had to look to the natives themselves for any permanent good to India After several other important observations, the learned president said that "the highest honour which he could bestow on this young candidate for fame was a gold meda!, and that, in wearing it, he should recollect that it bore the likeness of the noble founder of the institution, than whom a greater and better man had not been seen in India: Bhogilal was therefore bound to conduct himself in imitation of that great man, and to justify the expectations formed of him." Mr. Perry then shook hands with Bhogilal. The above is but a sketch of the speech as furnished to us by a young native friend, who says that it made a strong impression on the advanced scholars of the institution, as being strongly contrasted with the coldness of manner in which similar rewards were formerly bestowed. Bhogilal, in a few appropriate words, returned his warmest thanks, and expressed his extreme gratification at being the object of the approbation of the Board. - Gentleman's Gazetteer, May 2.

GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORDERS. "DIVISION ORDERS BY MAJOR-GENERAL P. DELAMOTTE, C. B. Dated 25th April, 1845.

"On being relieved of the command of the troops in the southern division of the army, Major-General Delamotte, c.
