MONEY MARKET.-The hurry and bustle to procure money for the prompt of the last Opium sale has been succeeded by a rather torpid state of things, slightly reacted upon by the requirements to complete the deposits for the sale of the 29th ult.: but there are causes generally in operation to make matters more easy. Returns are dropping in from China and elsewhere. The up-country people are tempted by the fall in prices on Imports-the dividends of the heaviest of the Government loans is in the course of payment; and the dividends of the Bengal and other Banks will add their respective mites to the relief. The batta payments will also figure to some extent.

NATIVE ADDRESS TO J. C. MORRIS, Esq. Those members of the native community at the presidency, who had proposed to present Mr. J. C. Morris with an address expressive of the feelings of respect, esteem, and gratitude with which he is regarded by them, as well as with a piece of plate, as a memento of the continuance of such feelings, though he may be removed from them, assembled on Thursday evening last the 2nd instant, at Collah Vencatachella Chettyar's house, and, having previously, through a deputation, selected from their own body, invited Mr. Morris, received him, accompainied by a few of his own European friends (also invited), about 9 o'clock P.M. After all parties had taken their seats, Collah Vencatachella Chettyar, at the request and on behalf of his countrymen there assembled, spoke as follows.

I have very great pleasure in saying that the native friends assembled here this evening have desired me to present you with this address as a mark of the respect, esteem, and gratitude they entertain towards you, for a momento of the continuance of which feelings they have further desired me to beg your acceptance of a piece of plate of the value of 100 guineas, which, according to arrangement, will be given to you in England by their as well as your friend, Colonel Underwood.

The address, which is as follows, was then read by M. Vencataroyloo Naidoo.

TO J. C. MORRIS, ESQ., MADRAS CIVIL SERVICE.

Sir,-We, your native friends resident at Madras, whose names are hereunto subscribed, and many of whom have for years had the honour of enjoying your friendship, and have received at your hands the most courteous and kindly treatment, do, at the prospect of your return to your native land, beg the liberty of thus conveying to you the expression of our high esteem for your public and private character, and of our deep regret at your approaching separation from us.

Your having early distinguished yourself by the acquirement of a knowledge of the languages of this country, which has not only enabled you, in the performance of your public duties, to promote the interests of the native population around you with a degree of ability and intelligence which few can boast of, but allowed the advantages of your free and cheering intercourse to those of our community who are unacquainted with the English language; your intimate knowledge of the character, customs, manners and prejudices of the people of this country derived from various sources; these, with many other inestimable qualities, which we need not now enumerate, have greatly endeared you to us.

The two valuable Teloogoo books compiled by you, the "Selections" and the "English and Teloogoo Dictionary," have not only contributed to the furtherance of public interests, by facilitating the acquirement of a due knowledge of Teloogoo on the part of Europeans and others, many of whom are connected with the civil administration of this country, but have rendered to the natives that service in connection with the study of English, which, under the present aspect of affairs, they have most needed; and of which they will ever entertain the most lively remembrance. These works have, therefore, abundantly evinced the interest you have taken in the welfare of our people.

Entertaining these sentiments, we cannot but feel that in parting with you we are losing one of our best friends and benefactors; but we derive consolation from the grateful impression, grateful as your gain is sufficient to compensate our loss, that after a long and honourable service of eight-and-twenty years you are about to pass the remainder of your days in the bosom of your family, and in the enjoyment of the society of your relatives, and of the friends of your youth; and from the hope moreover that you will be in a position which will still connect you with India, and enable you to advocate the interests of her inhabitants.

We conclude by offering our best wishes that you may have a safe and agreeable voyage to your native land, carrying as you do with you at the same time our choicest feelings for the health, prosperity and happiness of yourself and your amiable family in future life; and by requesting your acceptance, as a mark of our gratitude to you, of a piece of plate, for which we shall make the necessary remittance to England, with directions to deliver it to you on your arrival there.

We beg leave to subscribe ourselves, Sir,
Your most faithful friends and well wishers.

Madras, 2nd July, 1846.

The following is Mr. Morris's written reply.

Madras, 2nd July, 1846.

My dear Friends,-I have received the address which you have been kind enough to present to me, upon the occasion of

my approaching departure for England, with mingled feelings of pride, gratitude, and regret; pride at being considered worthy of having so distinguished and unusal a compliment paid to me; gratitude, for the kindly feeling and favourable opinion of me which it evinces; and regret, deep regret, that I am so soon to be parted, in all probability for ever, from the many among you, with whom I have been intimately associated for years, and who deservedly hold a high place in my esteem and regard.

It will be a subject of great congratulation to me in after life to feel that in the course of my service in this country I have acquired the good opinion, and carry with me the affectionate regrets of so large and respectable a body of my native fellowsubjects as have now addressed me, and I cannot but be highly flattered at your mention that the works compiled by me, which were intended to facilitate the acquirement of Teloogoo by my countrymen, have also rendered assistance to natives in the study of English, through which language principally we must look for the dissemination of the higher branches of science, for which I have been happy to observe that a taste has of late years been engendered by the many excellent institutions and societies established at Madras.

I can assure my native friends that I shall ever take a deep and lively interest in all that concerns them, and should it be my good fortune on my return to England to be placed in a position which will still connect me with the administration of affairs in India, I trust I shall never be found wanting, when opportunities may be afforded me, of upholding their rights, promoting their interests, or contributing in any way to their welfare and happiness.

I thank you from my heart for the testimonial you propose to present to me on my arrival in England. I will carefully cherish it for the sake of the kind donors of whom it will often remind me, and to whom, with every sentiment of friendly feeling and with every good wish for their health and happiness, I now beg to bid a warm and affectionate farewell.

I remain, my dear Friends, yours most faithfully,
(Signed) J. C. MORRIS.

After the close of this reciprocation of feeling between Mr. Morris and his native friends, he as well as those who accompanied him were amused with a Nautch got up for the purpose, the Garrison Band striking up lively airs at intervals.

Before Mr. Morris left the room, at about eleven o'clock, Collah Vencatachella Chettyar said a few words, to the effect that the pleasure they realized on the occasion would have been greatly augmented by the presence of Mrs. Morris (who is now in England, but whose place was filled by Mrs. Hall, her near relative, and whom the assembly considered as her representative), and concluded by begging Mrs. Hall to accept of their sincere good wishes on behalf of the absent lady and herself.-Athenæum, July 4.

ADDRESS FROM THE SUBORDINATES TO J. C. MORRIS, ESQ.

Sir,-Your separation from us on your retirement from the Hon. Company's service for the purpose of returning to your native land is an occasion which justly calls for the expression of those feelings we have long entertained towards you, as well as of that sincere regret which we cannot but feel on such a separation.

It was the happiness of many of us to have served under you during the whole of the long period, and of most of us, during the greater portion of it, in which you held the offices of civil auditor and superintendent of stamps, and Teloogoo translator to government: and your connection with us as our immediate superior, involving as it did a constant intercourse between us, for a series of years, afforded us numerous opportunities of justly estimating your character -not merely as relating to your treatment of the persons employed under you, but as regarded your conduct as a high and most important officer of the government, with whom rested in many cases not the interests of government only but also those of the community generally-poor as well as rich. And your impartiality and justice in the disposal of the claims constantly referred for your decision, as well by the government as by its servants and others, have deservedly won for you our unqualified admiration and esteem; and though the occasion on which these are sought to be expressed is a painful one, we embrace it readily, as giving us a fitting opportunity to convey to you-as well as to record them-those sentiments of high respect and deserved esteem in which we hold your character, and the feelings of warm and grateful regard which we cherish for you.

We beg to assure you, Sir, that we shall always remember with pleasure and a lively sense of thankfulness, the kindness and indulgence you shewed to us on all occasions, tempered though they were by a wholesome strictness, which relaxed not, in requiring from each the due performance of his duties.

Judging by the past, we have no doubt but that your future life will be one of business and activity, for which your high talents so eminently fit you: and as we are desirous that some small token of our regard should serve you, we beg the favour of your acceptance of the accompanying silver standish, which has been finished by Messrs. Gordon and Co., in their best style, and bears an inscription descriptive of the occasion and the feelings under which it is offered.

And now, Sir, we come to the painful task of bidding you farewell. We pray that Almighty God, the great controller of all events, may take you into his keeping, and restore you in health and peace to the bosom of your family, and grant unto you and them every blessing.

With sentiments of the highest respect,-with sincere regard, and best wishes for your happiness.

We beg leave to remain, Sir,
Your most obedient, humble, and faithful servants.

Το THE ESTABLISHMENTS OF THE CIVIL AUDIT, STAMP, AND TELOOGOO TRANSLATOR'S OFFICES.

MY DEAR FRIENDS,

I have been deeply affected by the receipt of your most kind, touching, though too flattering address of this date, and the beautiful testimonial which you have presented to me as a mark of your respect, and in token of your regret at parting with me.

I cherish these tokens of the kindly feelings of my late Establishments with peculiar satisfaction, from their coming to me at a time when my connection with them has ceased for ever, and when I can no longer be expected to be of service or assistance to them.

Feeling as I do, and as you have observed, that I have ever with a jealous anxiety for the credit and efficiency of my office, exacted from all of you the full and effectual performance of the duties appertaining to your respective situations, I cannot but regard these testimonials as evidences of my having acted towards you with impartial justice and considerate kindness, and of your genuine attachment to me.

I can assure you I have ever felt a particular pride and pleasure in doing duty with the number of able men and valuable public servants my late offices contain, that I have closed my connection with them with deep regret and that they will ever retain my warmest wishes for their success and advancement in life they so well deserve.

I shall show your truly elegant present to my family and friends, with feelings I hope of honest pride; it will often remind me of the many among you in whom I must ever take a deep interest, and it shall be handed down in my family as an heir-loom for ever.

Wishing you all health and every happiness this world can afford, I subscribe myself with every sincerity, Your true friend and well-wisher, (Signed) J. C. MORRIS.

Madras, 8th July, 1846. -Ibid., July 9.

[Another address, agreed to at a meeting of the East India Company, was presented to Mr. Morris, but for this, with the answer, we have not space in our present number.-ED. Allen's Indian Mail.]

MISCELLANEOUS,

BANK OF MADRAS. The Directors of the Bank of Madras have declared a dividend for the half-year ending June 30th, 1816, of rupees 32.8 per share, being at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum on the capital stock of the bank,

THE RAINS. The rains which have recently fallen, have had the effect not only of reducing the temperature of the atmosphere, but of spreading a carpet of green over the whole surface of the soil. Should these grateful showers continue even for a short time longer, of which there is at present every probability, we shall have little to complain of in the way of intense heat, and the hottest part of the year will pass without much inconvenience to those who are accustomed to suffer at this season. It is pleasant to learn from different parts of the country that copious downpours have fallen to their lot-a circumstance that will especially rejoice the hearts of the poor who have, unaided, had to endure the misery occasioned by an exorbitant demand for the articles of food on which they chiefly subsist.-Athenæum, June 27.

SICKNESS ON BOARD THE Nasaree.-We are sorry to learn that sickness to a considerable extent prevails on board the bark Nasaree, and that several deaths have occurred since she came into our roads. Of the nature of the disease particulars have not yet reached us, but the casualties indicate its virulence. On

Sunday evening, the dead bodies of two natives, as also two others in the last stage of sickness, were landed from the Nasaree. Yesterday morning the marine authorities, consisting of the port and marine surgeon, assistant master-attendant, and Mr. Drough, apothecary, visited the vessel, and therefore we hope steps have been taken to prevent the malady from increasing, if it be epidemic. We know that our humane masterattendant introduced, during the emigration season, some important measures, whereby sickness on board should be speedily made known to the proper authorities, in order that relief might be instantly afforded. But we believe these wholesome regulations were principally intended for vessels commanded by Europeans. Considering the great number of native crafts which arrive here, and from every port in India, we are inclined to think that they should all be obliged to produce a clean bill of health, before they are permitted to have any communicafion with the shore. Huddled so closely together as the native crafts are, this precaution becomes the more apparent and necessary. At all or most of her Majesty's colonies, all vessels arriving, it matters not whence, are visited, and a clean bill of health shewn before the usual privileges are allowed; and why so obvious a duty should be neglected, with reference to the ports of our Indian presidencies, we cannot divine. Our worthy master-attendant is at present absent from Madras, but on his return he will, we trust, give the above few remarks his earnest and usual liberal consideration.-Ibid.

THE INDIAN ALCHYMIST,-This ingenious knave who successfully contrived to defraud an unsuspecting conicopillay in the service of his Highness the Nabob of no less a sum than 425 rupees, and who almost immediately after the achievement became noninventus-has been apprehended at Chittoor, and is now there in durance vile. It may be remembered that the fellow, a Fakeer, set himself up for an alchymist, and that having won the confidence of the conicopillay by a prefatory trick, he undertook to convert as many silver rupees as this man could furnish him with into as many gold mohurs, by a process which terminated in his own favour at the time, for it made him master of 425 rupees, and set him, thus enriched, on a felicitous tramp into the interior. But his joys were destined to be of short duration, for a talliar of police, armed with a warrant, was sent in pursuit of the fugitive, and soon came up to the chase. How the minion of the law came to direct himself to that especial point of the thirty-two points of the compass is problematical, and can only be solved by ascribing to the nasal organs of the officers of police that nicety of scent for carrion which distinguishes the vulture. But be this as it may, the Fakeer was apprehended and onhim was found the "handkerchief" which contained the l'argent, but not the l'argent itself. The Fakeer acknowledged the fraud, and said that he gave twenty rupees to each of his accomplices. He may be expected here shortly to undergo the process of magisterial ~purification.—Ibid., June 30.

THE 27TH N. I.-The head-quarters and details of the 27th regt. N. I., under the command of Lieut. col. Watson, arrived last Saturday from Singapore, on board the ship, Duke of Argyll. The party were disembarked yesterday morning, and encamped on the esplanade north of the fort.-Ibid. July 7.

J. GEDDES, Esq.-It was an agreeable surprise to find, by a notice in the Agra Chronicle, that J. Geddes, Esq., had been reappointed to the charge of the Madras Agency of the Agra and United Service Bank. Mr. Geddes' talents for business can be best appreciated by the Directors of the parent establishment, but they are also well known here; in every sense, a more competent person could scarcely be found for the management of the bank's affairs, and in this opinion very many concur with us. His old friends will greet his return with much satisfaction.Ibid. July 9.

CAPTAIN HARRISON.-We hear that Capt. G. F. Harrison and Lieut. T. Lightfoot, H. M. 84th Regt., have obtained leave of absence, on private affairs, to the Neilgherries, for six months, commencing frhm the 1st inst.-Ibid.

BANGALORE, June 19.-A salute of fifteen guns from the Artillery Park announced the arrival here this morning of Sir Lawrence Peel, Chief Justice of Bengal. A subscription ball and supper took place last night at the Assembly Rooms, and went off very well.-Ibid, June 23.

BELLARY, June 19.-In my last I forgot to mention the arrival of Dr. Powell, our Chaplain, at Bellary from Ramanmullay. General Anderson, Captains Gordon and Neil have since returned. Captain Harris and family, and one or two ladies are, I believe, the only parties now resident on the Hill. The weather is now delightfully pleasant, the sky being overcast nearly the whole day-a circumstance which enables us to move about at any time, with the shelter of only a broad-brimmed hat. Major Reid's family joined him from Bangalore about a week With this exception, there have been no arrivals from, or

ago.

departures to, other stations. Detachments of the 5th Regiment N.I. are expected to be ordered to Gooty and Kurnool to relieve those of the 6th N. I. which are now stationed there. A gallery is in course of erection in our church, which, when completed, will add much to the accommodation of the building. -Ibid, June 25.

CUDDAPAH.July 4.-There is little news of any importance from this station that I can communicate, but such as it is I send you. Until yesterday, the winds have been very boisterous, clouds of dust have been blown over us in rapid succession to the distant hills, these with the winds have caused great annoyance, and have been the means of increasing fever and bringing on sore eyes. Since yesterday, however, an alteration has taken place, the winds are in a great measure lulled, and the sun is now again beginning to make us feel the effects of his heat. No rain has lately fallen, consequently land culture remains the same. This disadvantage is mainly felt in the Indigo trade, as, from all I can learn, this is a sad year with the manufacturers, compared to the last. This accounts for the Treasury officers being able to send down three lacs of rupees to the Presidency, which left this on the 29th June under charge of an escort of the 19th Regiment N. I., commanded by Ensign Firth, as, had the season proved favourable to the cultivation of Indigo, not a pice could have been spared, but rather more cash would have been wanted. The market rates are, if any thing, rather more reasonable than formerly, and the 19th are now becoming quite familiarized with the scorching heat and troublesome winds that prevail in this district. Mrs. Mylne and her two children, with her mother-in-law, left this for Madras on the 2nd instant, in order to embark for Europe. The 19th regiment sends out a company to Cumbum on the 10th instant, to relieve a similar detail now at that outpost. The recruiting party of that corps stationed at Rajahmundry have, I hear, succeeded in obtaining between 20 and 30 young men for the service. They are chiefly Hindoos, accounts from the party stating that the Mussulmans in that part manifest à decided objection to parting with their liberty, and what they can daily earn, for the Company's Military law and seven rupees per mensem. The erection of the Racket Court at this place is rapidly approaching to a finish, and I doubt not that the gentry will be heartily glad when the day comes for them to practise this favourite game.-Ibid. July 7.

ÕOTACAMUND.-June 15.-The S. W. monsoon continues, and the weather is cold and chilly. Sometimes the rain pours down in a manner that might have alarmed Noah. At other times it is more pleasant, as was the case for three days past.

I am sorry to find that in the list of officers at present residing here, which I formerly sent you, and which appeared in the Athenæum of the 9th inst., I omitted several. I shall, however, endeavour hereafter to furnish a more correct list-in the meantime I give the names of the officers of the Head Quarter Staff now here, commencing with His Excellency Lieut. General the Most Hon. the Marquis of Tweeddale, x. T. and c. B., Commander in Chief; Lieutenant Colonel Alexander, Adjutant General of the Army; Lieutenant Colonel Commandant Strahan, Quarter Master General of the Army; Lieutenant Colonel Chalon, Judge Advocate General; Lieutenant Colonel Pratt, Deputy Adjutant General Her Majesty's Forces; and Lieutenant Colonel Felix, Deputy Quarter Master General Her Majesty's Forces; Captain Rowan, Military Secretary, and Captain Steele, Aide-de-Camp.

In mentioning Bombay Officers I find I also made some omissions amongst them, viz. Lieut. Colonel Cuninghame, and Doc. tors Shawe and Style. I ought also to have mentioned the Resident Staff on the Hills, viz. Captain S. A. Grant, 16th Regiment of Native Infantry, Commanding Officer, and Joint Magistrate in the districts of Coimbatore and Malabar; the Reverend W. T. Blenkinsop, A.B., Chaplain; and Messrs. W. Evans, M.D., and J. Dorward, Medical Officers.

Lieutenant Colonel Chalon arrived here in the beginning of last week, as did also Doctor Kellie. George Arbuthnot, Esq and family are hourly expected. Captain Giffard, of the 12th Native Infantry, and Lieutenant Tribe, of the 51st Native Infantry, left this a few days ago.

A sad and very general complaint prevails here, of the delay, or rather tardiness of the mail between this and Madras. It is said that formerly it used to reach this in three days; now it is always four; how this comes about, as I am a stranger, I cannot say, but I know it to be the case, as a letter written to me from Madras on Tuesday, and despatched that evening, did not reach me until Saturday evening. That those connected with the department here do their duty, and that no blame can be attached to them, seems to be universally allowed. But that there is neglect somewhere is as generally allowed, and it will be a public benefit if it can be obviated.-Ibid. June 23.

June 22.-The S. W. monsoon having fairly set in, we have at times very disagreeable weather. Heavy clouds are often to be seen settled as it were on many of the hill tops, wherefrom parts often fly off enveloping all in a sort of fog, and frequently drizzling rain. The rains, however, seldom continue long, and often cease for many days. For a week past it has been exceedingly mild and pleasant. The mornings and evenings have been almost uniformly clear and fine, so as to admit of taking exercise. Yesterday forenoon, whilst Divine Service was being performed, a very heavy shower of rain came on and continued until long after the congregation was dismissed, to the no small annoyance of many, as it is no pleasant affair for those who come on horseback from a distance to have to ride home in a pelting rain, which many had to do yesterday. The morning having been very fine, a great many had come to church, about two hundred and fifty, I understand. This was at the forenoon service; in the afternoon, viz at four o'clock, the church was only about half filled, as the rain seemed to keep many at home.

The Governor resides in a fine large mansion on a beautiful hill at the south-west end of the Cantonment, named WoodCock Hill, from the circumstance, I hear, of the first woodcocks that were ever shot here having been found in the wood on the hill-face.

I observe a good many of our Madras civilians here. I have already mentioned the Hon. Henry Chamier, and I have also seen M. D. Cockburn, Esq., J. F. Thomas, Esq., G. L. Hooper, Esq., Geo. Bird, Esq., R. S. Ellis, Esq., A. Ogilvie, Esq., and J. H. Blair, Esq.-C. F. Chamier, Esq. left this the other day, and Lieut. A. C. Silver of the 4th Regt. N. I. has recently arrived. Major G. A. Underwood, of the Engineers, and family are expected to reach Coonoor to-morrow. Sir Lawrence Peel, from Calcutta, is shortly expected, apartments having been secured for him in Mr. Dawson's Hotel. The influx of strangers from all quarters, is said never to have been so great on any former occasion as at present, and it is truly said that all Europeans derive infinite benefit from a sojourn on these hills. There appears to be something in the very nature of the place consolatory to invalids, the universal stillness and sort of freedom from irritation or excitement that prevails, tend to soothe all. The extreme mildness of the climate, and the invigorating sensation that all feel cannot but promote good health and lively feelings. An individual who has only been about a month on the hills, assures me, that when he came here he could not even walk without assistance, or with a stick in each hand: he can now climb the face of a steep hill with his hands in his pockets, whistling dantie davey as he goes.-Ibid., June 30. -June 29.-The S. W. monsoon continues, and some days during last week were very disagreeable, as it was almost impossible to stir out of doors, without the certainty of a wetting; even within doors it was miserably cold, and no existing without a fire, the thermometer rather under 60 degrees in the house with closed doors. Yesterday morning it rained and blew violently until after 10 o'clock, so much so that but very few ventured out to attend Divine Service, and the number present was only between forty and fifty in the morning, nor was it greater in the afternoon, as the day continued unfavourable throughout. The Marquis of Tweeddale, however, was present on both occasions. Report says, that his lordship is highly delighted with the hills, and purposes making a lengthened stay on them. Amongst other reports current here is this, that his lordship thinks so favourably of the climate, &c., that he has, or intends strenuously to recommend that one of the European regiments on the Madras establishment should be stationed here permanently.

Some individuals have left this for Coonoor and Kotagherry, the climate of both places being considered more genial at this period than that of Ootacamund. I understand that during the months of May, June, and July it is generally much pleasanter at these places than here, the weather being usually then fine, clear, and bright, and the sun's rays more powerful. Whereas here there is fog, mist, and rain or drizzle. It is said, that those two stations are not so much exposed to the S. W. monsoon as this, and that residents there are never prevented taking exercise; but then they want the bracing and invigorating effects of the more exposed situations. There is an excellent hotel a Coonoor, kept by a respectable couple, Mr. and Mrs. Davison, where every comfort and convenience, I am informed, may be found. In fact, those who have visited Coonoor, speak of it in the highest terms, and represent it as being little inferior to Mr. Dawson's splendid hotel here, except in point of accomodation, the apartments there being less extensive, and at present fully occupied. Amongst the inmates are, Mrs. Drury, Major and Mrs. Underwood, Mrs. Chatfield, and the Rev. Mr. Hamilton and lady, and others. Pay was issued to the military officers, and other military subordinates here on Monday last, the 22nd inst.; this would
