Jan. 9.-A most destructive fire broke out here about one o'clock P.M. yesterday, when an old woman was killed; and it destroyed nearly the whole Parcherry, consisting of about a hundred huts, and Captain Hamilton's bungalow; and had not the pump been immediately despatched by Lieut. Denton to the spot, the fire would have destroyed the whole of the officers' houses on the cliff. The loss of property is supposed to be about 15 to 20,000 rupees. The fire broke out in Mr. Scott's, workshop through the carelessness of his ironsmith. Lieut. Armstrong, of the 5th regt. N.I. who is now on his way with the regiment to Bellary, has lost two excellent, conveyances which he had left in Scott's charge on his departure. BANGALORE. January 10.-The word novel is derived, we believe, from no velas, on account of the tendency of works thus named to animate the mind and avert sleep. Novels, even of the lowest caste, are devoured by the idle, the young, and a host without relish or capacity for superior concerns, to whom the exercise of fancy is pleasing, and the labour of thought irksome; and they unquestionably afford occasional relief to the more staid members of the community in hours of languor, sickness, or solitude, when the pages of the moralist, the historian, and philosopher would be wearisome. And there are few in this country but at times experience the pleasure derived from a good novel. It is an agreeable and bulky portion of our literature, and will always be a powerful stimulant with children of all ages up to three-score and ten, even though each new work carries substantially the same plot, only varied in incident-thns resembling the polypus, which being cut, cach portion of the germinating animal gets itself a new head and tail, and crawls on alter et idem. A wellwritten novel, it is true, has some legitimate claim to an ascendancy over the human mind, since it may convey moral truths in an engaging manner to those who are averse to serious application, or unequal to the thorny paths of abstruse investigation; and it is valuable as a description of writing that may probably convey to posterity a view of the manners of the age. Next to novels, we think are newspapers, as affording a continued fund of interest and amusement. News from the four letters denoting the four quarters, North, East, West, and South, is inquired after by every one. News seems the true and genuine food of the mind; many subsist upon it almost entirely. Some one has called it the manna of the day, in allusion to the food with which the children of Israel were supplied in the wildernesss from day to day, and which in a very little time became stale and corrupt; as indeed Providence has in its wisdom ordained that all kinds of sustenance shall be in their nature corruptible, to remind man continually of the dependency of his state on earth. It therefore becomes all connected with the And Periodical Press to provide for this constant demand. so we begin with our weekly budget; we shall first mention the Church. On Sunday last, the Venerable the Archdeacon, who happened to be here on his way to the presidency, preached in the forenoon, and again in the evening, to the community of the station. The Rev. Mr. Lutyens preached in the morning to the A King's Hussars, and the 2nd European Light Infantry. stranger in our pulpit generally draws large congregations here, when it is known that such is to hold forth; but we did not observe the sacred edifice more crowded last Sunday than usual; perhaps, however, it was not known to many that the Archdeacon was to officiate, or none would have deprived themselves of the pleasure and gratification of listening his powerful eloquence and learned discourses. We believe him, without question, a man of remarkable talent at some things. He possesses reasoning powers of a high order, blended with an imaginative faculty, always alive and always vigorous. He preaches in what folks at home call the level style, and if his sermons bear no peculiar features of terseness or elegance, they are not devoid of sound doctrine, and much wholesome advice, by which all ranks may profit if so disposed. to The march from this on Monday last of the right wing and head quarters of the 2nd European Light Infantry, has already been mentioned. Letters have been received from the camp last night; all was going on well; no work for the doctors, not a man sick since leaving this. The regiment halted yesterday, Thursday, and Oodenhully, the stage half-way between Ossoor and Royacottah, on the Trinchinopoly road from this. The melancholy accident by which Ensign William Robertson, of this regiment, lost his life on the morning the corps marched from this, His funeral took was stated hurriedly in our letter of the 6th inst. place on Tuesday morning, the band of the King's Hussars the on having been kindly lent and there occasion ; was a numerous attendance of officers and others, following his remains to the burial-ground. Major general Swell, C.B., commanding the station, Major general Lovell, K.H., and all theofficers of the King's hussars, with numerous others, were present. The deceased was a remarkably fine young man, of about twentythree years of age, and he was universally esteemed and beloved in the regiment, by all ranks, officers and men. His melancholy end is a source of universal lamentation and regret ; that he has been so suddenly cut off, and under such circumstances, is most painful to all who knew him. He was in charge of the rear-guard, and he had. been detained in assisting to help forward a bandy which had upset, so that he was a good way in rear of the regt., and he fell behind his guard, in order to allow his pony to drink at a small tank, said to be only a few feet square, but about fourteen feet deep; it appeared from an examination of the spot, that the ground had given way on which the animal stood, and of course it had then fallen into the water; the unfortunate rider, as is supposed, being pitched over its head, and, as he could not swim, he sank immediately. No European seems to have been near, and a native boy who was with him, his own servant, was in a state of intoxication, and afforded his master no assistance whatever, although it has since been ascertained that he is an excellent swimmer and diver. All he did was, to halloo out and make a great noise, which brought back the guard with some officers who happened to be passing, going out a shooting, and who, after a long interval, got out the body, which had sunk down and was fastened in the mud at the bottom. Sir Walter Scott, Bart., who had been absent from this for some weeks past at Arcot on court-martial duty, has returned here, and the other officers are daily expected, the court-martial having been dissolved, it is understood.' Letters from Major General Hill's party were received yesterday; he had finished his inspection and review of the 35th regiment of Native Infantry at Hurryhur, and is now proceeding from thence towards Coorg. But it is not expected he will return to this for some weeks yet to come. GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORDERS. MAJOR-GENERAL WAUGH. Fort St. George, Dec. 20.-The most noble the Governor inCouncil has received, with deep regret, the intelligence of the death of Maj. gen. G. Waugh, mil. aud. gen., at Penang, on the 3rd ult. Maj. gen. Waugh held the situation of mil. aud. gen. for the last ten years, during which period the zeal and ability with which he discharged the important and responsible duties of that high office repeatedly called forth the approbation of the hon. the Court of Directors; and his Lordship in Council considers it due to his memory to place on record this public ac knowledgment of the high sense which the Government entertained of his valuable services on many various occasions. ADVANCE OF MONEY ON LOANS. Fort St. George, January 3rd, 1845.-Ordered that the following extract from the hon. Company's General Letter in the military department, dated the 16th of June, 1815, be republished in general orders. 79H 5dT Para. 139. "In consequence of the numerous applications which have been preferred to us by our servants on leave of absence in this country, for advances of money on loans, we think it proper to recal your attention to our orders in the military department of the 25th of February, 1808, upon this subject. Those orders declared our determination not to make any pecuniary advances of officers at home, beyond what they are allowed by the existing regulations of the service, and you were required to publish them in general orders to the army but as a resolution of this description, in order to be generally known to a body which is continually receiving an accession of new members, should be occasionally republished, and being fully persuaded that a strict observance of this resolution will prevent much trouble and inconvenience, besides loss to the Company, we direct that our orders above adverted to be in future circulated, for the information of the army, in the month of January in every year, and we shall take the necessary steps for reminding officers who may arrive in England upon furlough of our determination upon the subject in question." ESTATES OF MILITARY PENSIONERS. Fort St. George, 3rd January, 1845.-The most noble the Governor in Council is pleased to declare that, in accordance with the practice in Bengal, the estates of military pensioners who are under the orders of the town-major, or other military authority, previous to embarkation for Europe, do not come under the provisions of G.O. G., 24th September last, No. 143. Such estates are subject to the same rules which govern those of soldiers generally, and not in any way liable to be made over in charge to the registrar of the supreme court or other civil authority.
