MISCELLANEOUS.

NATIVE STUDENTS.

On Wednesday last, an examination was held at the College, in the presence of the members of the College Board of the native students, who are there being instructed in the English language and in European science. Of these students, now eighty-one in number, the greater portion are on the foundation of the institution, and are intended, when fully qualified to commence on their duties, to be sent to the different provinces of the interior, for the purpose of affording instruction generally to the native population. Several of them have already gone through some of the first books of Euclid, many of the propositions of which they demonstrated in a manner that excited considerable surprise, and that was highly creditable to them. In the attainment of a just pronunciation of the English language, and of a correct knowledge of the grammar, a very satisfactory progress was evinced; and it was extremely gratifying to contemplate, even in its first stages, the happy results of the system, the sole object of which is, to raise the character of the thousands who surround

us.

The present had not been intended for a public examination, and therefore no prizes were allotted for distribution; but we anticipate the pleasure of seeing this carried into effect at the approaching public examination of these students.-Mad. Gov. Gaz., Feb. 7.

ARCHDEACON VAUGHAN,

The Venerable Archdeacon Vaughan, after an absence from England of nearly thirty years, is about to re-visit his native land, having taken his passage on board of the Marquis of Wellington, Captain Chapman. We understand that the Archdeacon preaches his farewell sermon on Sunday next in St. George's Church. Mad. Gov. Gaz., Feb. 21.

MADRAS RACES.

Great Match between Orelio and Wildblood. The interest which this had excited throughout Madras, and we dare say in many other parts of India, forbid us to despair of great future encouragement to this fascinating amusement.

The odds were high on Orelio, notwithstanding the weight. He was, in the language of the knowing, sure to win." Little Wildblood turned out against him as gay as a lark-took his canter of threequarters of a mile to stretch his legs, and then at the word got a good start; Orelio thinking to catch him at will, made no objection, but when that will was exerted, to the great astonishment and flooring of a host of knowing backers, the little horse positively laughed at him, took the lead soon after passing the two mile post, and beat the big horse most handsomely in four minutes and two seconds.

Houndsfoot and Signal.-For the sweepstakes our friend Houndsfoot turned out the favourite at two to one against the little Signal, who not having made his appearance on these boards before, was ushered in politely enough with this advantage of odds as an encouragement. We heard

many fair ladies in the stand admire his beauty, and hoping that beauty, as it always ought to do, would win. "Pity," said he, "that such hopes should be disappointed," so away he went with a gallant Houndsfoot at score, took the lead of him soon after the first turn, and it was a most severe and beautiful race throughout, though Houndsfoot never could head him again, and certainly was signally defeated. Here again the knowing ones were at fault. This in itself is a pleasure to all but those who do not win; and as we like to see a good horse beat by a better, it is all right.

Amongst the many distinguished personages who were on the ground, and who seemed to enjoy the sports of the morning, were observed, the Right Hon. Mr. Lushington, his Excellency Sir Geo. Walker, and Sir Ralph Palmer.—Mad. Gov. Gaz., Jan. 22.

PONDICHERRY.

The necessary orders having been previously issued, for the assembly of the civil and military functionaries at the Government-house on the 11th instant, to accompany Viscount Desbassaynes de Richmond, administrator-general of the French establishments in India ad interim, from the Government-house to the "Palais de Justice," immense crowds of people began to assemble at an early hour in every quarter, to witness the ceremony of the inauguration of his Excellency. On the arrival of the cortége at the "Palais de Justice," the ordinance of Government

and the letter of his Most Christian Majesty, dated the 30th August 1827, were publicly read and registered, and his Excellency accordingly took the prescribed oaths and seat at the board under the cus

tomary salute. The administrator-general then read bis address to the assembly, containing the details of the civil and military_administration of Government, &c. His Excellency, accompanied as before, proceeded from thence to the church, where the ministers of the sacred altar sung a Te Deum. From the church the administrator-general passed in front of the troops, who received him with presented arms and three cheers of Vive le Roi! His entrance into the Governmenthouse was hailed with similar acclamations, and a shower of flowers. On his reaching the hall of audience each of the public functionaries were severally introduced to his Excellency to present their respects to him, and were received in the most gratifying manner.-Mad. Gov. Gaz.,

Jan. 24.

SECOND EMBASSY TO AVA.

We have received letters of a late date from Rangoon. They mention that a second embassy was about to proceed to Ava. Captains Rowlandson and Montmorency have been deputed to this service by Sir Arch. Campbell, who reached Moalmein on the 13th January.

The objects of the mission are variously reported, but the prevailing belief is, that the ambassadors have received orders to insist upon the King of Ava's delivering up certain deserters from the British army, who still remain at Ummerapoora, notwithstanding the treaty.

The troops at Moalmein were in good health.-Mad. Cour., Feb. 8.

THE ADVOCATE-GENERAL.

The following address was presented to Mr. Compton, the Advocate-general, on the occasion of his departure from this Presidency:

To Herbert Compton, Esq., Barrister at Law in the Supreme Court, and Ho. nourable Company's Advocate General at Madras.

Sir: We the undersigned inhabitants of Madras, in the belief that the disinterested, and consequently sincere approbation of those from whom you are about to depart, cannot but be acceptable to you, beg leave to offer you the assurance of the high regard, admiration and respect, in which we hold your conduct and character; to express our deep and unfeigned regret at your apparoching departure.

and

Your long and brilliant career at this Presidency, has been distinguished, not only by energy of mind and character, by unwearied assiduity, and by professional
