BENGAL. MISCELLANEOUS.

ANOTHER BANK.-We have been so much accustomed. of late to hear of the establishment of similar establishments, that we really felt no surprise to learn that a new bank was proposed at Benares, and persons invited to support it by becoming shareholders. A few months ago the Agra and Mussoorie banks were the only ones in the upper provinces-there are now no less than six. We shall await further particulars respecting the Benares bank before offering any comments upon it.-Agra Ukhbar, May 28.

THE REV. MR. PICKANCE.-The wards of the European Female Orphan Asylum, of which institution the late Rev. Mr. Pickance was chaplain, out of respect for his memory, have clubbed together, and raised a sufficient sum for the purchase of a tablet, which is to be put up by Mr. Weaver, and erected in the chapel attached to the school. This speaks well for the poor girls, for the money, no doubt, must have been the proceeds of their own labour. It likewise reflects great credit on the memory of Mr. Pickance, whose kindness and attention to the wards of the institution could alone have induced them thus to come forward to mark their affection for him. The Rev. J. Long is expected to be Mr. Pickance's successor.-Bengal Hurkaru, July 3.

COLLISION BETWEEN THE STEAMERS DWARKANAUTH AND FRANCES GORDON.-We have heard of a collision yesterday morning between the steamers Dwarkanauth and Frances Gordon off Middle Point, originating, as we understand, in the desire of the captain of the latter vessel to prove her superior speed. It seems he put his helm hard a starboard with the intention of going round the Dwarkanauth (having just passed her), that the same was done on board the Dwarkanauth to prevent this, and that some further maneuvering ended in the Frances Gordon being struck on the larboard paddle-box, and losing her after paddle-box cabins, stanchions, &c. &c.-Eastern Star, June 1.

A due has taken place between Mr. Henry Torrens, of the Bengal Civil Service, and Capt. Hillier, an aide-de-camp to Sir Henry Hardinge. The cause of the hostile meeting was said to be the enatente cordiale between the cara sposa of the civilian and the gallant aide-de-camp. The lady has since left her husband, and proceeded with a sister and brother-in-law to the Straits of Malacca.

SWINDLING.-A young man, respectably connected, has been taken up on five several charges of obtaining goods under false pretences from as many trade firms, viz. Messrs. Manton and Co. Pittar and Co. Burkinyoung and Co. Watts and Co. and W. H. Gilbert. The total value of the articles obtained, and most of which have been recovered, is about Rs. 2,600. The accused passed himself off as a lieutenant in the 8th light cavalry. He has been committed to take his trial at the sessions.

THE FREE-SCHOOL MONEY BAG.-Some time ago a bag of money, while being taken to the Free-school under charge of a Sirkar and a Burkundaz, was run away with by the coolie employed to carry it, and others, his accomplices. Through the instrumentality of a goinda, or informer, some of the men engaged in the theft have been apprehended.

THE LYCEUM.-Last night Mr. F. G. Siddons, who has been appointed Curator and Demonstrator of the Lyceum, gave the first of the weekly lectures which it will be a part of his duties to deliver. It was on the Mechanical Powers, and the Chemical Constitution of the Atmosphere. Another of Mr. S.'s duties is to give, every other day between four and five P.M., a demonstration of some of the scientific apparatus belonging to the Institution, or intrusted to its care.

This city yesterday morning was visited by a heavy squall, throwing up the dust to a height sufficient almost to obscure the nearest and highest buildings; during its continuance a native boat was capsized opposite the fort, and was drifted up the river with the flood tide: a boat, which was promptly sent to the rescue of her crew from the Honourable Company's surveying vessel Pilot, saved the whole from the wreck.-Englishman, June 3. It is reported that the widow of the late Rajah Kissennauth Roy Bahadoor, has given birth to a male child.-Englishman.

GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORDERS.
INDENTS FOR STORES.

Head-quarters, Simla, 20th May, 1845.-The notice of the Commander-in-Chief having been drawn to the expediency of calling the attention of commanding officers to General Orders of the 30th January, 1840, paragraph 2nd, which directs that indents for stores required to replace condemnations shall invariably be accompanied by survey reports of the prescribed form,

due care being taken that mention is always made of the period and source whence the condemned articles were received, and which, notwithstanding the directions so clearly laid down, have only been partially complied with, to the great obstruction and unnecessary increase of business in the ordnance department, his excellency is pleased to announce, for general information, that he will hold the presidents of committees strictly responsible for the due observance of General Orders of the 30th November, 1837, and 13th January, 1840.

PROCEEDINGS OF COURTS-MARTIAL.

Head Quarters, Simla, 26th May, 1845.-The proceedings of all general and district or garrison courts-martial, held on officers and soldiers of her Majesty's service in the Bengal presidency, are to be prepared in duplicate; one copy is to be transmitted to the Judge-Advocate-General at head-quarters, as soon as possible after the trial shall have been closed, and the duplicate copy after an interval of one day.

BRITISH COTTON PIECE GOODS.-We can scarcely find any alteration to notice under this head, but if any thing there has been rather more doing, without however the slightest advance in prices. All parties are now anxiously looking forward to some stir in the up-country marts, and we hear that the accounts from Mirzapore have of late been rather more favourable.

SHIRTINGS, both bleached and grey, have been placed to a fair extent, the latter continuing rather more saleable.

WHITE JACONETS have been in moderate demand, and considerable sales are reported, but still at very low prices. Greys have been somewhat less inquired for.

IN MULLS and BOOK MUSLINS transactions have been very limited, and the same may be said of lappets and lappet scarfs, which are difficult of sale at former rates.

COLOURED AND PRINTED GOODS.-Chintz has been in mo-derate demand, and a few sales are reported at about former rates. TURKEY RED CLOTHS have sold to some extent, especially twills, but on some descriptions a slight decline has been submitted to.

WOOLLENS.-No improvement can be quoted in the demand for these goods, and, in fact, they are not in the least inquiry.

WHITE MULE TWIST.-The inquiry has not of late been very brisk, but a moderate amount of sales have nevertheless been effected without any further decline.

COLOURED YARN.-Under this head there has been but little doing since our last, the only sales we have heard of being a few bales of British Dye Turkey Red.

COPPER.-A few sales have been effected at about our last quotations, but the dealers have not as yet appeared in the market, and there is no general demand.

IRON. We still hear of a few speculative transactions which have the effect of maintaining prices, which would otherwise be quite nominal, as the native merchants shew no disposition to purchase.

SPELTER.-Several sales have been effected at rather advanced rates notwithstanding the heavy stock.

LEAD AND TIN PLATES.-We are not aware of any sales during the past week, but tin plates have engaged more attention and are held at somewhat higher rates.

BEER. The large shipments have caused purchasers to operate with caution, and sales have not been very heavy. Allsop and Bass, however, maintain their price, but in other brands we seldom hear of sales except by auction, and very few of them are in any demand.

EXPORTS.

SUGAR. A few parcels of first and second good quality Benares have come to hand and realised former rates, but the rivers have not as yet risen sufficiently to admit of our bazaar being well supplied, and low sugars are extremely light in stock.

In DATES we hear of but little doing, the only kinds procurable being very inferior. Khanr has again attracted attention, and

holders having accepted rather lower rates, a good business has been done at about 5 rupees to 5 4 for good dry bazaar sorts.

SALTPETRE. This staple has continued in good request for Great Britain, and shipments have gone forward freely at full rates; for France and North America, however, there has not been much doing.

RAW SILK.-During the past week, but little activity has been manifested in this market; a few parcels have, however, been taken at about former rates, but the generality of shippers appeared still disposed to wait further accounts from England, unless tempted by a very considerable reduction. The accounts just received by the Hindostan steamer being of so gloomy a nature, will, we should think, even further check operations, unless the native holders submit to a decline corresponding to that which has taken place at home.

Stocks are already getting heavy, and we understand that large parcels have been kept in the Mofussil with a view of keeping up prices.

Exports to Great Britain from 1st inst. up to date amount to 250 mds.

COTTON.-The demand for this staple continues dull; accounts from China are again unfavourable and the stock up country is getting heavy. Not a single bale has been exported since our last. OPIUM.-By the Fire Queen steamer we are in receipt of Canton dates to the 29th of April, in which Patna was quoted at 660 dollars to 690 dollars, and Benares at 650 dollars to 670 dollars per chest. This did not, however, affect our market at all, and we still quote Patna at Company's 1,580 rupees, and Benares at 1,475 per chest. The stock in the Campany's go-down consists of 3,562 chests of Patna, and 1,285 of Benares.

My Lord,- We, the Archdeacon and Clergy of the archdeaconry of Madras, having learned with unfeigned sorrow that your lordship's purpose is now fixed, in submission to the will of God our heavenly father, to return to England for a season for the recovery of your health and strength, cannot allow the expected opportunity of your lordship's brief visit to Madras to pass without giving expression to our feelings; and conveying to your lordship the unfeigned assurance of our deep concern on account of your late severe illness and present weak state of health, and of our affectionate sympathy, attachment, and respect.

The remembrance of our intercourse with your lordship, whether as bishop or metropolitan, and the consideration that the tie is still unbroken, excite in our hearts unfeigned gratitude to God for his goodness to his Church in India in calling your lordship to your high office, and preserving you so long in the uninterrupted and unwearied discharge of the anxious and difficult duties which have devolved upon you.

We more especially call to mind, with gratitude and praise to God, and feelings of no ordinary satisfaction, your lordship's metropolitan visitation here at the close of 1842; and we rejoice to think that in days when the hearts of faithful men are justly filled with apprehension on account of the departure from those great truths, upheld even to the death by our reformers, which marks the present crisis, your lordship was enabled to bear your distinct and uncompromising testimony on the side of truth in a charge which has under God cheered the hearts of his servants, not only throughout India, but in Great Britain and America, and the Protestant churches on the continent of Europe: and during the same visitation to counsel and encourage us, both in your private conversations and in your public ministrations in our pulpits.

The very vessel which brings your lordship to Madras enforces upon our minds the recollection of the important service which, under God, you have rendered to India by your warm and steadfast advocacy of steam communication with England in the days when its importance to the cause of Christ was but little foreseen.

And in these times of almost unprecedented perils to our beloved church, it is felt to be no small blessing to us that we have speedy tidings of such fresh proofs of God's gracious protection of it as call forth our thanksgivings and encourage all hopes; and much more that, in the early intelligence of important questions to be submitted to the counsels and decision of our chief civil and ecclesiastical authorities at home, we are able to offer our earnest supplications, perhaps up to the very day of their deliberations, that all their proceedings may be directed to the glory of God, the good of his church, the safety, honour, and welfare of our sovereign and her dominions.

Bidding your lordship farewell, we pray that God may be graciously pleased to watch over you during your voyage, and to bring you in improved health to those who are dear to you in your native land, and strengthen you to give him honour in his dear Son in the midst of his church in England.

And that, if it shall seem good to him to fulfil our desire, your lordship may be restored to India in full possession of health and refreshed in spirit, to be yet more blessed as his instrument in promoting the spiritual prosperity of his Church in his land.

Commending you to the tender care of our Heavenly Father, with unfeigned expressions of respect, sympathy, and love, we have the honour to subscribe ourselves,

To the Venerable Archdeacon, and Reverend Clergy in and around Madras.

I thank you, my dearest brethren, for this unexpected and most affectionate address. You estimate far too highly the little I have been able to do in India. It is to God alone that I desire to ascribe all the praise of what may have been effected; and to him I humbly look up for the forgiveness of my multiplied defects and errors during the nearly thirteen years that I have been in the diocese.

My duties as metropolitan have been slight and occasional compared with the constant and burthensome pressure of obligations lying on your own beloved bishop, whom I regret that the heat of the weather, connected with his lordship's state of health, has prevented from meeting me on this transient visit. My object has been to uphold the authority and strengthen the hands of my honoured brother on all occasions.

You refer to my charge as metropolitan in 1842. I rejoice to think that the grand onslaught of popery on our church under the disguise of tractarianism has been repelled, under God's mercy, by the Protestant spirit of our clergy and laity. My arraignment of the system of the tract writers from the first was, that it impugned the authority of Holy Scripture, sapped the doctrine of the justification of the humble penitent before the tribunal of God by faith only in the merits and death of our Lord Christ, and led straight off to the bog of popish idolatry. Seven years have only confirmed my first opinion as to this.

There is one point that I would venture as an old man to guard you against on this subject-the danger of reaction. Human nature is always in extremes. Nothing would strengthen the tractarian writers and their disciples so much as any real relaxation in our attachment to our church, our episcopacy, our discipline, and our general usages, as settled by Cranmer, Jewel, and Hooker, at the glorious period of the Reformation, and not as unsettled by Archbishop Laud and the nonjurors afterwards.

To this simple and scriptural doctrine and policy of our Church let us adhere with the very same determination with which we spurn all popish corruptions of them.

My own purpose is fixed-what the order of the Church of England and Ireland was in June, 1832, when I left home, that I have upheld and mean to uphold as bishop and metropolitan without any addition or diminution whatever.

I have begged the Archdeacon of Calcutta to transmit to the gentry, clergy, and catechists of Madras, copies of my fourth charge, delivered last Friday; and also of my lectures on the Epistle to the Colossians which I wrote out during my residence last summer on the Hills of Simla, and which are in Mr. Hatchard's press, in London, and may be expected out in a few months.

I hope to see you all for a moment as I return to Calcutta in November, 1846, if God should permit me to return. In the mean time I commend myself to your prayers, and am

Your most obedient Servant, (Signed) D. CALCUTTA.

The

came

Two of our local cotemporaries have noticed an affair in which the noble marquis at the head of the government cut rather a conspicuous though unwilling figure on Tuesday last. case is stated by them to have been in this wise:-Mr. -, of the civil service, was entering the fort in his carriage by the Wallajah-gate, which, as every one at the presidency knows, is by government regulation only a door of ingress, all carriages being prohibited from returning by that route. The regulation in question is indisputably a wholesome one, since as two carriages cannot possibly pass in the narrow way, it serves to prevent accidents. Regulations are made however for the guidance of little men, not to control the great, and as the governor is lord paramount of Fort Saint George, he has of course a right to break his own regulations; but this par paranthese, and now for particulars. His lordship being it may be presumed in an extraordinary hurry to get home from council on the occasion referred to, and the Wallajah-gate route being a shorter cut homeward than that by the St. George's-gate, the prescribed portal of egress, the former one was taken. It so happened, however, that the advanced troopers of the escort were not sufficiently alert in going ahead of the carriage to prevent others entering from the bridge, and the consequence was that the governor's conveyance and that of Mr. together in sociable proximity. For the civilian's carriage to turn round was impossible, and the horses being somewhat mutinous in the matter of backing, the marquis lost his patience, and, according to a cotemporary, "waxes mighty wrath," calling for the corporal of the guard and directing him to take out the horses of the civilian, whose carriage was then shoved backward till the governor's conveyance found room to pass, which being accomplished, Lord Tweeddale ordered the obstructing vehicle to be taken prisoner to the town-major's office, whither it was escorted by the corporal of the guard. The civilian, it seems, after leaving his card, was allowed to depart, but our cotemporary does not clearly specify whether the offending carriage was still detained in durance vile, or released upon its owner's recognizances. The former, we imagine, as if the gauree were placed in the guard by order of the governor, who else but his lordship could release the prisoner? Thus the commander of such guard would hardly have ventured to subject himself to the penalties whereunto he might be held liable under Article LVI. in connexion with LXIX. of the Articles of War for releasing such a prisoner without due authority, but we leave the officials in question to settle all that!!! Such are the particulars given as Gospel by our cotemporaries, and assuming the facts so set forth to be all strictly correct, we can only express the hope that his lordship's anger has ere this expended itself, so that the offending party may not be subjected to a more severe infliction than that of corporal punishment, in the shape of an invitation to dinner, which under all the circumstances of the case seems generally considered a probable result, the penalty being of a surety sufficient to maintain due subordination in the service!-U.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE COURT-MARTIAL ON COLONEL WALLACE.

(Continued from page 414.)

EIGHTH DAY-continued.

Lieut. Graham, Bombay Engineers, examined by the Court. Q. Did you make any report to the prisoner on the subject of supplying the troops with water? A. No, because from the Chotadroog the prisoner himself must have seen the waterfall that I have alluded to, and also that it was known that there was water in rear of Major George's post, from whence he daily drew his supplies.

Q. Did you apprehend any difficulty in supplying the troops with water? A. No, not after Major George's post was established.

Q. Are you aware that there was 400 men of the prisoner's brigade posted below the Elephant Rock on or before the evening of the 16th of January? A. I am not aware that there was the whole of the day of the 16th I was employed in clearing the road towards the post marked T on the plan.

Q. At what hour on the 17th did Major Clemons' troops join you in front of the post T, and how far beyond it towards Sewapoor? A. Shortly after daylight they began to come up, and they halted on the top of the hill towards Sewapoor, about 1000 yards from the village of Sewapoor.

Q. Would the water in rear of Major George's post have been further off from the ground cleared for the encampment, than it was from posts elsewhere sometimes? A. No, I should not think so it was not further off from the ground cleared for the encampment than it was from the Elephant Rock, and the water had to be supplied from above to the post at T.

Q. Was there water at, or near to, the top of the Elephant Rock? A. No, I never went see the water, but it was brought from about the distance of half a mile, but afterwards we had to get some of it from the longer distance.

Q. Did you know whether there was any water available at the Sassedroog or top of the Kurwuttee Ghaut? A. There was none at the top, but a very little in a nulla close by that would fill a cup; it was found accidentally while searching for water afterwards; it was a spring.

Q. Was it more or less than a mile from Major George's post to the Sasseedroog? A. I never measured it myself, but one of my sappers, who measured it after the taking of Munohur, reported to me that it was 4000 feet from the foot of the ridge on which Major George's post was.

The witness retires.

The Court, before the close of the prosecution, puts the following question to the prosecutor.

Q. Did you detail to any other brigadier your plan of attack for the 20th of January before the 16th of January, and if so, to how many brigadiers? A. No, I did not, not before the 16th certainly; it was quite out of my power to do so.

The prosecution is closed, the cross-examination being ended. The prisoner here wishes to read a written address to the Court, and reserve the summing up of his evidence in another statement at the termination of the defence.

The Court is closed.-The Court is of opinion that if a written statement be put in by the prisoner at the commencement of his defence, it will preclude him from giving in a written
