THE

THRESHER'S INDIA GAUZE WAISTCOATS. HESE really important articles of under clothing, although manufactured expressly for India, are equally valuable in all tropical climates, and are strongly recommended by all medical men as the most effectual preventative of the many diseases arising from check of perspira tion to which the residents in warm climates are so particularly liable. This manufacture possesses all the advantages, without the inconvenience, of flannel waistcoats; the texture is light, soft, and delicate, perfectly free from all irritating or disagreeable qualities, and a very superior absorbent, consequently the very best description of under-waistcoat that can be worn in India, or in any warm climate. The valuable qualities of THRESHER'S INDIA GAUZE WAISTCOATS are well known and have been long tested in India, and the very general approval and consequent demand for them has given rise to many inferior imitations, which, with a view to deceive, have been variously marked India Gauze, Oriental Gauze, Gauze Vigonia, &c. Messrs. THRESHER and GLENNY, therefore, beg most particularly to impress upon all parties the necessity of applying direct to their establishment, 152, STRAND, LONDON, for any they may require, and also most especially to caution the public against purchasing any article of the kind except those which are marked THRESHER'S INDÍA GAUZE, as none others can be depended upon. These waistcoats are made both for ladies and gentlemen, and Messrs. Thresher and Glenny undertake to forward them in dozens or half-dozens to every part of England and the principal towns of Ireland and Scotland, carriage free, at the following prices :-Gentlemen's, 788. per dozen, and Ladies', 668. per dozen; and also to pack and forward them, free of expense, to any agent in India, by the overland route, at the following additional rates, viz. 12s. per dozen to Calcutta, Madras, and Ceylon, and 18s. per dozen to Bombay. OUTFITS TO INDIA, BY SHIP AND OVERLAND. Every particular connected with outfits to India, both for ladies and gentlemen, including detailed lists of requisite clothing, uniforms, &c. &c. for every appointment, with the necessary variations for the outfits of

CIVILIANS, CADETS, ASSISTANT-SURGEONS, &c. together with every information respecting passage by ship and by the overland route, baggage, packing, &c., will be forwarded on application to Messrs. Thresher and Glenny, as above. TRANSIT THROUGH EGYPT,

From Alexandria to Suez, under direction of the Egyptian Transit Company, only 2 cwt. of baggage is allowed without extra charge, and no package or trunk should exceed 80 lb. weight.

THE REGULATION OVERLAND TRUNKS & CASES, Manufactured by Thresher and Glenny especially for the TRANSIT THROUGH EGYPT, and for the cabins of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ships to MALTA, ALEXANDRIA, and INDIA, can only be procured at their East-India Outfit Warehouse, 152, Strand, London.

All communications addressed to Messrs. THRESHER and GLENNY, 152, STRAND, LONDON, will have immediate attention.

THE HAND-BEDSTEAD, weight only 17 lbs. OHN BESEMERES and SONS, CLOTHIERS, OUTland travellers to India to inspect this Portable Bedstead, price 12s. 6d., invented and made only by them. Although so light, it is strong, compact, of full size, and may be used without a mattress; it passes readily into a bag 6 inches in diameter, 24 long. Bedstead, bedding, blankets, sheets, quilt, &c., packed in one of their (21s.) Waterproof Regulation Overland Trunks, weigh under 50 lbs.

prisoners escaped. But for the loss of life it was altogether a very contemptible affair.

SCINDE would call for no mention but for the preparations made for receiving the GOVERNOR of BOMBAY, who left the Presidency on the 10th of February, accompanied by Mr. GOLDSMID and Colonel MELVILL, as Secretaries. He was to proceed at once to the mouth of the Indus, and there to take a river steamer to Hydrabad. He was to be met at Tatta by Mr. PRINGLE and his staff, by whom the Governor was to be accompanied to the capital. The voice of public opinion was raised universally in praise of Mr PRINGLE'S administration.

From INDIA PROPER there is little news. The campaign against the UNGOOL RAJAH had terminated in the flight of that Prince, after his gurhs and stockades had been captured.

At CALCUTTA the absorbing topics were still the failure of the Union Bank and its consequences. Various meetings arising thereout had been held. The extraordinary press of matter forbids our reporting their proceedings at length; but the following points, extracted from a précis furnished by the local press, will be sufficient to indicate their nature and character:—

"On the day after that upon which we issued our last Summary, an adjourned general meeting of the Union Bank shareholders was held according to appointment. To this assembly the Committee of Inquiry submitted its report and a series of resolutions for winding up the affairs of the bank.

"The report was adopted, and also the resolutions appended,—the latter, however, in a modified form. An Executive Committee was appointed to conduct the affairs of the bank in liquidation, Messrs. T. C. Morton, G. Shearwood, H. Burkinyoung, and Manookjee Rustomjee being chosen as members thereof. Mr. J. L. Russell has since been appointed Secretary, on the resignation of Mr. W. H. Abbott. It was determined that a call of 200 rupees per share should be made, and that such shareholders as could afford it should make a loan of 20,000 rupees each, at 6 per cent. interest. It was understood, we believe, that those who really could not afford to pay these demands should not be pressed, but that those who could should, with the aid of the creditors, be compelled to meet them. The proceedings of the meeting involved some curious disclosures.

"Another meeting was held on the 28th ult. at which special committees were appointed, one to act in conjunction with the executive committee in the management of the indigo factories in which the bank holds an interest, and another for inquiring and reporting on the circumstances connected with the granting of the post-bills issued from the bank. This last committee was also instructed to inquire in what manner the remainder of the money due to the Commercial Bank of Bombay had been appropriated.

"A meeting of policy-holders in the Indian Laudable and Mutual Assurance Company was held on the 26th ult. to inquire into the condition of its funds, which, according to common rumour, had been, to a great extent, lost or endangered by the managers. According to a statement drawn up by Mr. Greenaway, one of the Directors, it appeared, however, that the risk of loss had been very greatly exaggerated, as, though large sums had been invested in loans on Union Bank shares and post-bills, collateral security of a more valuable character and to a sufficient extent was in most cases held. It was, nevertheless, resolved to appoint a committee to investigate the accounts of the society, and to report the result of its inquiries to a meeting to be called at a future time. It appeared that the

Secretary of the association, Mr. John Storm, had, without in the first instance obtaining the sanction of the Directors, sent 70,000 rupees to his brother, on the collateral security of 82 Union Bank shares, and on this it was proposed to demand his resignation. But it was eventually resolved, that though the meeting did not exone. rate Mr. Storm from culpability in the transaction, it could not charge him with dishonourable motives, and that he should not be required to resign his office."

From the same quarter we derive the following:

"A case of some importance was decided in the Insolvent Court here lately. A wealthy Hindoo merchant, being associated with Mr. Larpent, of the insolvent firm of Cockerell and Co. as assignee for the estate of John Palmer and Co. was declared liable for the assets collected, and which amounted to above two lakhs of rupees, although he had never taken any active part in the management of the estate."

No new failures were announced, but trade was in a very depressed state, and the accounts recently received from home had created much dismay.

From MADRAS and BOMBAY the intelligence is uninteresting. The only provocative to the appetite of newsmongers at the latter presidency has been furnished by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who, having set his heart upon a small cause-bill establishing a small causecourt, wherein perhaps but a small measure of justice would be administered, had been round to Calcutta to stimulate the Legislative Council to comply with his wishes. According to the Bombay Times, this attempt to steal a march upon the opponents of the proposed measure was regarded with almost universal reprobation, and a strong memorial against the meditated "little-go" was in process of sig

nature.

There are arrivals from CHINA, but nothing material is added thereby to our previous information.

BENGAL.

MISCELLANEOUS.

LOCAL.

THE ATLAS INSURANCE OFFICE.-The Englishman states, that a report of the half-yearly meeting of the Atlas Insurance Company is now in circulation, and that an immediate payment of Rs. 1,000 is demanded to meet the present liabilities! The report states, that it is the opinion of the meeting that the office be wound up with the least possible delay.-Friend of India, Feb. 3.

LOSS OF A BOAT.-The troop-boat Jellinghee, in tow of the Mahanuddy steamer, when a little above Channel Creek on Sunday morning, on her way up to town, suddenly went down in one fathom water, leaving but just time enough for the passengers to get on board the steamer. The Jellinghee had on board eight hundred chests of opium and five lacs of treasure. She has since turned bottom up; but part of the treasure and a hundred chests of opium have been recovered. It seems difficult to assign a cause for this accident; but the Jellinghee was an iron steamer, and it is said that some of her plates were found to have been started.-Hurkaru, Feb. 7.

OPIUM SALE. The average prices at the sale held on the 24th were Rs. 860 for Patna and 816 for Benares. This is a fall of about Rs. 100 per chest in the prices obtained at the last sale. - Ibid.

THE "MIRZAPORE."-The new steamer Mirzapore, belonging to the Ganges Company, took another trial trip on the 24th, having on board a large party of gentlemen and wealthy shroffs from the Bazar. Her performance proved satisfactory.-Ibid.

FRUIT, &c.-The show of fruits and vegetables at the TownHall on the 4th was the best known since the establishment of the society under whose auspices the exhibitions are held.-Ibid.

FIRES. On Sunday last two fires took place in town: the first at Moochee para, where one native house was destroyed; the second at Muchooa bazar, on which occasion about twenty huts were consumed.-Ibid., Feb. 8.

MOFUSSIL.

BUDGE BUDGE.-A supposed Tiger.-The supposed tiger which was seen at Budge Budge has been killed. It turns out to be a very large male leopard, stated to have measured thirty

inches in height. A small party assembled at the Acra Farm the other day, and proceeded towards Budge Budge in quest of sport. The natives said there was a hog in a patch of jungle, and two of the party, being well mounted, were desirous of a run. The proprietor of the Acra Farm volunteered to start the animal, and went into the jungle with the beaters for the purpose, armed with a spear. They had only proceeded a few yards when the man cried out Bagh! Bagh! running away with all his might, and a number of natives who were watching the proceeding instantly took to trees like as many monkeys. The Englishman, however, though deserted by his allies, having got a fair sight of his foe, advanced steadily till he had him in command of his spear, when he instantly transfixed the brute, whose dying roar added to the terrors of the villagers. On being at length assured that the creature was dead, they came boldly up with spears and lattees to assist the sahib. The feat was a bold one, and not to be imitated by those who have not as strong arms and steady nerves as the well-known proprietor of Acra, for the slightest trepidation might have had very unpleasant consequences. Leopards are frequently speared with the aid of a net, but we do not recollect an instance of one being fairly faced in his lair by a single man on foot without support or assistance.-Englishmen, Feb. 2. DELHI.-Sir Theophilus Metcalfe, Bart., the agent to the Lieutenant Governor at Delhi, returned from his tour to the west on Saturday afternoon.

Arrivals.-Jan. 16.-Major-general Sir Walter R. Gilbert, K. B., commanding Sirhind division, proceeding to Hansee on duty; Major R. Haughton, deputy assistant adjutant general, proceeding to Hansie on duty; Captain J. S. Alston, officiating deputy judge advocate general, proceeding on general leave.— 18. Lieutenant A. D. Turnbull, superintendent canals west of Jumna, on a tour of inspection along the canals under his charge; Captain G. N. Moore, H. M.'s Foot, proceeding to join his regiment.

Departure.-Jan. 18.-Major-general Sir W. R, Gilbert, K.C. B. commanding Sirhind division, proceeding to Hansee on duty.-Gazette, Jan. 19.

The Weather.-The weather has become rather too warm to be pleasant at this season of the year, and a good fall of rain would be of the greatest benefit in reducing the temperature.

Gaieties. The reunion came off last evening, but was somewhat more thinly attended than had been anticipated. An accession of the fair sex in a short time may induce a more numerous assembly on the next occasion.

[ocr errors]

Death of Mahmud Meer Khaun.-We have to announce the death of Nuwab Mahmud Meer Khaun, a distinguished literateur of Delhi, son of the Maharatta governor of the province at the time of Lord Lake's entrance, and a pensioner of the British Government to a considerable amount. His library is one of the most valuable in Delhi.

A Great Traveller.-Among the visitors whom the curiosities of Delhi have lately attracted is Madame Pefeiffer, a Viennese lady, probably the greatest traveller of her sex on record. India is taken on her way home, as she has already visited a large portion of South America, Otaheite, China, Singapoor, &c., and purposes returning to Europe by way of the Cape, or perhaps of the Persian Gulf, Turkish Arabia and Syria. She has also visited, before undertaking her present tour, almost every country of Europe, including Poland and Turkey in Europe, as also Syria and Egypt.

— Arrivals.—Jan. 19.-Captain F. Lloyd, assistant commissary general, on duty; Lieutenant colonel J. T. Boilleau, officiating superintending engs. N. W. P. on tour of inspection.-Ibid. Jan. 22.

GOOMSUR.-Mr. J. P. Grant. -We understand that Mr. J. P. Grant, having finished his inquiry into the late Goomsur agency, has requested to be allowed to return at once to Calcutta, in order to submit a final report on the subject to Government, and we believe that his request has been acceded to.Englishman, Feb. 2.

GYA.-Merit rewarded.-A very interesting ceremony took place at Gya on the 13th of the present month, Nowringhee Lill, 1st Grade Darogah of Gya, was invested with the sword. Mr. Balfour, the officiating magistrate, in the presence of Messrs. St. Quintin and Bell, the officiating civil and sessions judge and officiating collector, and in a crowded cutcherry, presented the sword with a copy of the government order. The sword is a very handsome one, purchased in England, and sent out, we believe, by the late magistrate's brother, Mr. De Latour. It has a good inscription on the blade, which is made as much for use as show, and the sheath is of crimson velvet and gold. Nowringhee Lill was highly delighted with a sword valued at Rs 300, received under the orders of the Deputy-Governor of Bengal in open cutcherry.-Friend of India, Feb. 3.

LAHORE.-Census of the City.-The Delhi Gazette of the 29th ultimo contains a tabular statement shewing the results of a census of Lahore, taken during the last year, under the orders of Major M'Gregor. We are sorry we cannot afford room for it in full, and our readers will probably be content with an abstract of the information which it presents. The number of houses in the city is 19,820, of shops 8,774, together 28,594. The number of inhabitants is reckoned at 85,305, of whom 49,791 are Mahomedans and Christians, mostly, of course, the former,32,064 Hindoos, and only 3,450 Seikhs.-Hurkaru, Feb. 5.

MYNFOORIE, JAN. 25.-New Church.-On this day, the festival of the conversion of Saint Paul the Apostle, the foundation stone of a church, to be built at this station, was laid by the venerable the Archdeacon Dealtry.-Delhi Gazette, Jan. 29.
