SUMMARY & REVIEW OF EASTERN NEWS. WHAT from the Punjab? This is the natural enquiry of every one upon the arrival of the Indian Mail. To this enquiry, strangely enough, we have on this occasion to reply-nothing. All is at a stand still. JOWHAIR SINGH is once more in power, and GOLAB SINGH is watching an opportunity to get away. One of the local papers pronounces that he will be a lucky fellow if he succeed, and we incline very decidedly in favour of this opinion. PESHOORA

[PRICE 18.

SINGH has been amusing himself by taking possession of a few villages, and the Punjab seems much like a common on which adventurers wander at pleasure, and cut turf wherever it may please them.

In another country, to save us from perishing of ennui, we are indulged with a revolution: the favoured country is Nepaul, where the son of the reigning monarch lately dethroned his father. The father seems now, in turn, to have dethroned the son, and resumed the exercise of sovereign power; and both father and son, it is said, joined in murdering the minister by whose intrigues the first revolution was effected.

The above, we think, constitutes almost the sum of the intelligence which may be called Foreign. Of Domestic news, that which excites most interest is of a disastrous character. Our readers are aware that a destructive fire broke out in Calcutta immediately before the departure of the mail immediately preceding that which has just arrived. It seems that an insurance office was opened most opportunely just at the time, and we should imagine that the extent of the conflagration will have the effect of bringing business to the new establishment. The following passage, extracted from the Calcutta Star, of the 12th May, gives a more detailed account of the calamity than was previously afforded :

We may call the attention of the public to an advertisement announcing that Messrs. Bagshaw and Co. have been appointed agents for the London Phoenix Fire Assurance Company. This comes singularly apropos to the destructive conflagration that took place in the Strand on Friday night. We saw some native gentlemen looking at the ruins on Saturday, and they seemed thunderstruck at their extent; they had evidently been unprepared for the possibility of such complete destruction overtaking a massive pile of European residences; and we believe that nothing of the kind has ever been seen in Calcutta. We fancy, indeed, the great majority of people would have deemed it next to impossible, looking to the character of our English houses, as we may call them, that a fire should have proceeded to so a calamitous an extent, that roofs and walls should have bodily disappeared, and that the ruins should be as though they had been of the slightly run-up vellings of a crowded city. We have heard that the principal stores destroyed were of saltpetre, cotton, and silk; the value has been stated at various sums, from two to ten lacs of rupees, the premises included; we suppose about five lacs will be somewhere near the mark. As a matter of course, there were engines that would not play, and, being immediately on the banks of the river, there was necessarily a bad supply of water; but the fire there can be no question, had been having its own way so long before it was discovered, that it may be doubted whether under any circumstances it could have been controlled. A more thorough wreck was never seen: there was not even an inner wall left to mark where the buildings had stood, but all was one confused mass of smouldering ruin. During Saturday, bheesties were lazily employed in pouring mussacks of water here and there, as fancy dictated, and doing no good, while the outer walls in which the fire was still unextinguished, were left uncared for. The consequence was that towards the evening the flames broke out again in a dozen places, and an upper floor at the corner of Clivestreet, the lower part of the house, abutting on the general ruins, promised to come down ere long. The flames were streaming forth

in at least half a dozen different parts of the building, yet there was not the faintest attempt making to check them.

The attention of the Calcutta community has also been occupied by civil dissensions, not of a very formidable character, inasmuch as one of the principal actors appeared to be an auctioneer. It will be recollected that a native called the RAJAH KRITORAUTH ROY, some time since committed suicide, leaving behind large property, to which it appears the Registrar of the Supreme Court has administered by virtue of letters ad calligendum. This seemed sufficiently direct, but on attempting to take possession of part of the property at Berhampore, the collector resisted, on the part of Government, who have a contingent interest in the estate. The disposal of the Rajah's property seems likely to create as much sensation as did his calamitous end.

The press of India has of late been singularly unfortunate in the loss of its proprietors, managers, and editors. We believe most of the local journals are now under the care of officiating editors (to borrow a phrase from the government service), in consequence of the principals being absent in Europe, or on their way thither, for the restoration of their health. The Englishman has lost its proprietor, Captain R. A. M'NAGHTEN, not temporarily by sickness, but finally by death. We do not believe that literature, perhaps we might add especially political literature, is anywhere a very healthy occupation; but in India it would seem to be peculiarly destructive of health and life, nor indeed could it be fairly expected to be otherwise.

Calcutta, however, is not altogether wrapt in gloom. There has been a gay ball, which, as we are not much versed in the duties of the court newsman, will be better given in the original, as it appears in the Bengal Hurkaru, than in any flat and feeble version of our own:

The ball at Government House, in honour of her Majesty's birthday, was numerously attended, but the rooms were not so crowded as we have seen them on similar occasions, and some leading members of society were either absent or escaped our observation. The guests began to assemble about half-past nine, but it was a full hour later before there were many present. The Right Honourable the Governor-General made bis entrée from the private apartments, about a quarter past ten, when a guard of her Majesty's 40th presented arms to him, and the band of the regiment played the national authem. Dancing commenced soon afterwards, and was kept up with great spirit until supper was announced, when the guests descended to the elegant banquet prepared for them, The Queen's and Prince Albert's health were, of course, proposed and drunk with usual loyalty, but there were no speeches. After supper, dancing was resumed, and kept up to a late hour. The Polka was danced several times, and the grace and spirit displayed by several of the ladies in its pretty, varied, but somewhat eccentric, attitudes and movements, excited the admiration of all the spectators. Some of the gentlemen, too, appeared to be quite au fait in the evolutions of this new dance.

Most of the leading European members of society were present on this occasion, and a great many distinguished Natives.

At Madras, the most stirring matter seems a projected new pier, the completion of which is destined to wait the sanction of the Home authorities.

From Ceylon it is announced that the Government has determined to disconnect itself altogether from the native idolatries. The Governor, under the instructions of the Colonial Office, has intimated that he will no longer interfere in the appointment of priests, nor suffer the servants of Government, in their official capacity, to have any concern with Buddhist ceremonies or shrines. In this island, as on the continent of India, the newspaper press has suffered by the death of Dr. M'KURDY, of the Ceylon Herald.

From China there is little news of interest, except an account of an attack upon some Englishmen by a Chinese mob, which will be found in its proper place.

BENGAL.

ADDRESS OF THE CLERGY TO THE BISHOP OF CALCUTTA.

(From the Englishman, May 7.)

To the Right Reverend Daniel, by Divine Permission Lord Bishop of Calcutta and Metropolitan of India.

1. We, the undersigned, the archdeacon and clergy of Calcutta and its neighbourhood, actuated by our reverence for your Lordship's sacred office, and by our dutiful regard for your person, approach your Lordship on the present occasion to express the sincere regret with which we have received the intelligence of your alarming illness, and of the painful necessity of your withdrawing for a season from this diocese, the scene for many years of your Lordship's devoted and indefatigable labours.

2. It has peculiarly awakened our regrets that your Lordship's health should have failed in the midst of a wide and laborious visitation, at so great a distance from the metropolis as to render necessary a long and trying journey, and to encounter, ere its close, the first severities of the hot season of Bengal.

3. In this trial, with which it has pleased the great Head of the Church to visit your Lordship, we desire to express our sympathy, and to record our prayer that this affliction, though for the present it seem grievous, may bring forth the fruits of righteousness, and issue in a large increase of peace and comfort to your own mind.

4. It is with thankfulness to Almighty God that we have heard of your Lordship's partial recovery, and have witnessed your safe return to Calcutta; we humbly trust that the same Divine goodness will attend you on your voyage, and that a residence in England may restore you to this diocese with renewed strength.

5. The impending separation from one endeared to us by the works of faith and labour of love which have so eminently marked your Lordship's course, cannot be contemplated by us without emotion, and we should be wanting to ourselves, as well as to your Lordship, were we to withhold the expression of

our sorrow.

6. For it is not only that we deplore your lordship's illness, with its trying circumstances, but we regard it as an additional source of regret, that your lordship should be removed before witnessing the completion of that great work, which your munificent zeal for the honour of Almighty God originated, and which you must have cherished the hope of consecrating to his service after concluding the labours of this your third visitation of this diocese.

7. But we trust, in dependance on the Divine blessing, that your lordship may ere long be enabled to resume the prosecution of those important plans for the spiritual benefit of your charge which have been devised by your judgment and pious forethought, and which we trust shall yet be matured under your fostering care. We moreover hope that your sojourn in England will enable you to perfect the noble undertaking we have referred to, not only by setting and securing the laws necessary for its efficient regulation, but also by moving the hearts of zealous churchmen to contribute bountifully towards its endowment funds.

8. While, however, we naturally dwell with peculiar interest and thankfulness on this instance of your lordship's zeal, we cannot conclude our address without recording our deep sense of the eminent services rendered to the Church in India by your efforts to augment her resources, for the maintenance and extension of the knowledge and worship of her divine head, the Lord Jesus Christ. We would especially mention, as evidences of your lordship's munificence, the establishment of the Additional Clergy Society, and the liberal support afforded by your lordship to it and to the Church Building Fund. It will be the sincere prayer of our hearts that you may through Divine mercy be permitted to see these important societies bring forth still increasing fruits under your lordship's presiding care, and to hand them down, as associates to St. Paul's Cathedral, for maintaining and spreading abroad in this dark land the light of our most holy faith, as received and dispensed by the English branch of Christ's Holy Catholic Church.

9. In leaving this our dutiful address in your lordship's hands, we unite in the assurance that we shall not only watch with anxiety for tidings of your convalescence, but also wait, with unfeigned satisfaction, the announcement that you are once more about to revisit us in renewed health, to be, as we fervently trust, crowned with length of days for prolonged and still increasing usefulness.

10. We trust your lordship will oblige us by complying with our united request to sit for your portrait during your stay in England, and it may be placed in the library of the new cathedral. Signed by the Archdeacon and 31 clergy,

ANSWER.

Mr. Archdeacon and Rev. Brethren,

It cannot but be most consoling to my anxious mind to receive such an affectionate assurance of your love and confidence as this address conveys.

It has pleased our blessed Lord and Master to connect us in our duties to each other not only by the paramount obligations of Divine injunctions on his part and voluntary engagement on ours, but also by the ties of mutual sympathy and love, and all the bonds of our social nature sanctified and elevated by his grace.

The great apostle St. Paul poured out his whole soul in addressing the churches, and solicits their prayers, begs their acceptance of his services, commends by name those who had especially succoured him, rejoices in their steadfastness, and mourns if they declined from God.

A bishop, therefore, in the present day, ought much more to request the earnest prayers of his clergy, throw himself upon their indulgence, and derive comfort from all the tokens of their union amongst themselves and growth in grace and holiness.

And, most of all, in a new diocese like Calcutta, stretching by its metropolitical duties over the whole of the three sees of India, calling the bishop from his chief city on visitation for a year and a half at a time, must he need the prayers, the counsel, the support, the forbearance, and the forgiveness of his clergy and their flocks.

But it is to God, our Divine Redeemer, that I look up with humble thankfulness for any thing I have been enabled to accomplish, and for that benediction which he alone can vouchsafe; and to him I would also ascribe the very good will and kindness of my reverend clergy, which is so touching to my feelings at this time.

My objects in India have been, the conversion of the souls of our native and nominal Christian population, the establishment of Christian missions, the orderly walk of the catechists, schoolmasters, and the native flocks, and the prosperity of Bishop's College-all entirely in subordination to the glory of Christ.

I have aimed also at the edification of the Christian communities, both native and European, in the order, discipline, and polity of our own beloved church, of which I am constituted the guardian in this diocese.

You refer in too flattering a manner to the new cathedral, the Church Building Fund, and the Additional Clergy Society. There are indeed amongst the measures to which I have directed my attention, assisted by my venerable archdeacon and my reverend clergy, and greatly aided by the number of years I have been permitted to remain in India.

In the progress of all these, and every other measure, I have endeavoured to resist and oppose, on the one hand, the assaults and allurements of semi-popish tractarianism, and on the other, any relaxation of the real doctrine and discipline of our church as laid down by Cranmer, Jewel, and Hooker.

My brethren will find, in the new churches, all the longestablished usages of religion, as I left them in England in June 1832, without addition or detraction.

So in St. Paul's Cathedral I shall carry out all the promises made in my report of 1839 and 1841; every thing usually attached, when I sailed for India, to our Protestant English cathedrals, will be found in St. Paul's, Calcutta-the transepts, the lantern, the cathedral stalls, the bishop's seat, the seats for the governor-general and council, and for the venerable archdeacon and canons-the pews or benches for the choristers-the organ-the deeply-stained glass in the eastern and southern windows to modify our Bengal sun-the clock with its chimes -the lectern-and the daily and weekly religious services, as many of them as our climate and circumstances will allow.

I am not indeed without my fears that, now the Protestant mind at home has been justly and most beneficially on the whole awakened, it should, like all popular movements, run into extremes and raise the old cavils against the simplest forms and ceremonies of our Protestant episcopal church.

My brethren may rely upon this, that I shall stand up as determinately for the usual order and appearance of our churches, as recognised in 1832, as I have resisted the revival of the spirit and conduct of Archbishop Laud and the Nonjurors under the form of tractarianism.

But love is what I would urge in all we do or attempt. Let this be the impress of our religion. Let me hear, dear brethren, of your affairs; that you stand fast in one spirit, and strive together for the faith of the Gospel.

I cannot decline your request, which bears to me the nature of a command, to sit for my portrait, if I reach home in safety. I only beg that it may not be put up in the Cathedral Library till after my death.

A select meeting of Hindoo gentleman was held yesterday for the purpose of considering the best mode of establishing a school in Calcutta. It was proposed that the intended school shall impart learning to 1,000 boys, who are to be placed in 20 classes under 10 teachers, at an aggregate expense of 1,000 rupees per month.

It was thought advisable to raise a capital of 300,000 rupees, to be vested in 4 per cent. Government loans to cover such expenses by interest; and that for the present the school should be maintained upon donations:-All other matters relating to the institution, and its denomination await the reconsideration of the next public meeting, which will shortly take place.-Englishman, May 20.

A singular report has been prevailing here relative to the stealing of male children for the purpose of immolation by a Baboo, who was digging a tank for his use, but finding no water at even a great depth, opportunely saw a dream admonishing him that by sacrificing two of his male children on the site, not only water in plenty, but a large treasure would reward his devotion; the Baboo, not liking to part with his own flesh and blood in this manner, even for this apparent advantage, was next advised by the kindly vision to obtain twenty-one children, belonging to others for sacrifice, and being pleased with this arrangement, actually sent emissaries to procure the necessary number of victims. Some persons have already been detected in prosecution of these strange commands; and only last evening a man with two children was detained on suspicion. Most of the natives are on the alert, apparently placing every faith in this most extraordinary report.-Englishman, May 26.

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 manoeuvring ended in the Frances Gordon being struck on the larboard paddle-box, and losing her after paddle-box cabins, stanchions, &c. &c. This is not very profitable work for the Company. We think that when the Frances Gordon had gone by, she might have been satisfied and gone on, instead of attempting the experiment of going round. -Bengal Hurkaru, June 2.

The Dhurrumtollah bazar was the scene of a great riot yesterday morning, in consequence of a sheriff's officer having gone there for the purpose of confiscating the property of certain of the bazar people. The whole bazar rose in a body, and put the officer to flight, who again renewed the charge with a whole posse of police, with Europeans at their head, but with the same result, the bazar folks completely routing the assailants; soon after, having rallied, armed with large clubs, they approached in all their strength, but found all quiet, made the requisite arrests, and retired.-Englishman, 10th May.

The Delhi papers contain extracts from letters from Sukkur to the 8th instant, stating that the mess-house of the 2nd Bengal European regiment was burnt to the ground on the 6th instant, in the brief space of half an hour. Every thing was destroyed, including the only English billiard table in Sindh, and between 8 and 10,000 rupees' worth of mess stores.

Thirteen horses belonging to the estate of the late Rajah Kristonauth Roy were yesterday sold by aution at Messrs. Tulloh and Co. They averaged 1291 rupees each, one of them sold for nearly 3.000 rupees. Ten Mecklenburgh horses were also knocked down at an average of 400 rupees.-Englishman, May 27.

The rumour of kidnapping children for the purposes of sacrifice has turned out a mere story exaggerated by the wonderful imaginative powers of the natives, which, added to their as yet uncontrolled superstitions, has even brought forth the following incubus, viz., that a "gentleman, a doctor" had actually been to the tank, and had seen the slaughtered bodies of one hundred innocents. A notice in Bengalee was this day placarded in several places, to the effect, that after due inquiry being made by the police, it turned out merely the invention of some malicious persons. It appeared very strange that amongst all the complaints of kidnappers, no one had heard of any bereaved parent; any Bengal Niobe, throwing herself before the governor's carriage, nor even appealing to magistrates. The innocents must have fallen from the clouds, or have been dug up from that well

known parsley-bed, where English nurses find them, for they seem to be able to boast of neither father nor mother, and have no parish to take any care of them.- Englishman, May 27.

GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORders.

AUGMENTATION OF ARTILLERY IN THE THREE PRESIDENCIES.

In pursuance of instructions from the Honourable the Court of Directors, under date 3d July, 1844, the Right Honourable the Governor general in Council is pleased to sanction an addition of European officers to the artillery branch of the armies of the three presidencies, to the extent as follows:-Bengal, 46; Madras, 23; Bombay, 23; to be allotted according to the established organization hereinafter detailed, in the proportions of 4 colonels, 4 lieutenant colonels, 4 majors, 20 captains, 40 lieutenants, 20 2d lieutenants-92. Promotions to have date from the 3d July, 1845. In view to the adaptation of the establishment of the artillery arm to the above increase, the organization of the artillery of the three presidencies will be as follows:BENGAL, horse artillery-3 brigades, 4 troops each; 3 European, and 1 native. Foot artillery, European-6 battalions, of 4 companies each. Native-3 battalions, of 6 companies each.MADRAS, horse artillery-1 brigade, 6 troops, viz. 4 European, and 2 natives. Foot artillery, European-4 battalions, 4 companies each, on the establishments of those in Bengal, viz. 83 non-commissioned officers and gunners each, instead of 106 as at present. Native-I battalion, of 6 companies.-BOMBAY, horse artillery, European-1 brigade of 4 troops. Foot artillery, European-2 battalions, 4 companies each. Native-1 battalion, and 4 companies, with an establishment of 2 battalions of officers.

ALLOWANCES.

The Right Hon. the Governor general in Council is pleased to resolve, that at stations where two complete corps of the line, irrespective of local troops, are cantoned, the senior officer shall retain the command of his own corps with that of the station, and draw Rupees 120 per mensem, in addition to his regimental command allowance. The absence of detachments on temporary duty or duties of routine or permanent outposts, by which the strength of the said force may become partially reduced, will not invalidate the claim to the station command allowance, above indicated.

N. B. The above regulation cancels so much of the general orders, No. 234, of 12th August, 1824, as sanctions the allowances of a temporary brigadier for the command of two or more corps of the line at a station.
