EMBARKATION OF BRIGADIER STEEL.-A salute of eleven guns was fired on the 11th ultimo, on the occasion of the embarkation of Brigadier General Sir S. W. Steel, K.C.B., commanding the Pegu division, on board the steamer Oriental. A SALUTE of fifteen guns was also fired on the occasion of the embarkation for Calcutta of the Hon. Daniel Eliott, Esq., member of Council, on board the steamer Oriental. He was DEATH OF A WEALTHY NATIVE.-Intelligence has reached Madras of the death of Bunsedar, a wealthy soucar. taken ill a short distance from Trichinopoly, and died a few hours after reaching that station. He died worth thirty lacs of rupees. THE WEATHER.-For several mornings past the sky at daybreak has betokened the near approach of rain; heavy banks of clouds rising up from the south, while the horizon seaward presents those peculiar ragged and columnar clouds which are ordinarily the forerunners of a heavy downpour; but as the day advances, all the vapoury masses appear gradually to dissipate into thin air, and leave not a rack behind, to checker the bright blue in which the sun glows like a disc of red-hot metal; and long ere midday all the hopes which man and animals, and thirsty plants, had formed of refreshing showers, are ended in disappointment. A NEW ACADEMY.-A meeting of the East-Indian community was held in May, at the Polytechnic Institution, for the purpose of carrying into effect the intentions of the late Captain Doveton, of the Nizam's service, in respect to the establishment of an educational institution for the resident Christian community of Madras, similar in principle and constitution to the Parental Academy at Calcutta, by means of his legacy to them of two lacs of rupees. A plan of the constitution of the new college was determined on at this meeting. EXPORTATION OF INDIAN DOMESTIC SERVANTS.-A despatch has been received from the Court of Directors, authorizing this government to advance one half of the estimated expenses for sending out two hundred emigrants (being young persons) of both sexes to Australia, who may be willing to enter into engagements as household servants. The remaining moiety, it will be remembered, is to be paid by the Colonial Government, and the reimbursement of the whole advance will be made by the emigrants, out of the wages of the first two years of their employment. will form a highly valuable opening for the poorer class of East Indians, who may have some acquaintance with the duties required, and are industriously disposed. The duty of selection and arrangement is left with the Emigration Society, who will at once stir actively in the matter; the government, of course, being informed of, and retaining a control over, the whole.-Spectator. This LITHOGRAPHIC STONES can be procured in Southern India, equal to the best of those now imported from Germany, and at one-fifteenth of the price. Thirty years ago, Col. Gerard used these stones at Madras, and the experiment was subsequently repeated by Col. Jervis at Bombay. No further steps, however, were taken to improve a trade which might have become important. DISCOVERY OF TREASURE.-A ranee in one of the districts recently ceded by the Nizam has discovered a treasure amounting to sixty lacs of rupees. The Madras United Service Gazette confirms the report, and adds that by Regulation XI. of 1832, fifty-nine lacs will belong to Government. Only one lac is reserved to the finder. MILITARY ON-DITS.-The right wing of H.M.'s 94th regt. arrived at the presidency, May 10, from Poonamallee, and encamped on the Lighthouse Esplanade until its embarkation for England. The regiment embarked for England on board the ship Hampshire on the morning of the 15th May.-We (Athenæum) record the demise of Lieut. Willoughby Temple Byam, of the 7th L.C. on the 6th May, at Saugor. This casualty promotes Cornet William Tompson to a lieutenancy.-A court-martial on Lieut. W. H. Dowbiggin, of the 6th L.C. has ended in his acquittal of the most serious part of the charge brought against him. LORD HARRIS'S FIRST LEVEE.-His Excellency the Governor held his first levee in the early part of May. The scene (writes the Athenæum) was much the same as that which we have witnessed on former occasions of a similar ceremony; all the gentry of the presidency having the honour of making their bow to the new Governor. We observed, however, that under the head of "Native Gentlemen," many persons were presented who we conceive had no right to be present. Owing to the illness of Dr. Balfour, some very questionable Mussulmen, who, we will warrant, never had the entrée of the nabob's durbar, were presented to his Excellency, and had the impertinence to walk past in their slippers, a piece of insolence, which we are very certain they never would have dreamed of perpetrating before the nabob, even if the attendants would for a moment have permitted it. Among the Hindus, too, we recognised sundry who scarcely fill our idea of the "gentry" as might be ascertained upon the most superficial inquiry. In fact everybody who chose to pre sent himself seems to have been at once admitted without hesitation; an act of carelessness on the part of those who had the arrangement of the ceremony, somewhat reprehensible; the more so, as the natives set great store by the exaltation which they conceive themselves lifted to by an introduction to so dignified a personage as the Governor. His Excellency wore the blue and silver uniform of the Colonial Governors; and we believe the general impression he produced was one of great prepossession in his favour. The Governor, accompanied by the town-major, inspected the arsenal, the church, the water-works, and Queen's barracks in the fort, on May 10. GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORDERS. INCREASE OF ARTILLERY. Fort St. George, May 12, 1854.-The following extracts from a letter from the Hon. Court of Directors in the military department, dated 5th April, 1854, are published for the information of the army. Letter dated 9th January, 1854, No. 9. "Forward correspondence relative to the insufficiency of officers in the Madras artillery, and recommend that seven additional captains, as proposed by the Commander-in-Chief, may be authorized." 21. The evidence given in this correspondence is conclusive of the necessity for giving to the artillery of your presidency the same proportionate number of captains per battalion as has been authorized for the Bengal artillery. "22. We accordingly sanction the addition of seven captains to your artillery, as recommended by your government, from the date of your receipt of this despatch.' The above addition to the artillery will have effect from the 11th of May, 1854, being the date of receipt of the Hon. Court's despatch. MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT. Fort St. George, May 16.-The following extract from a letter from the Hon. Court of Directors in the military department, dated 5th April, 1854, No. 25, is published for the information of the army.

Advert to No. 150 of 1853, and point out that, consequent on the formation of the 3rd Madras European regiment, a further demand has been made upon the medical establishment." "3.

In our last we had the satisfaction to announce that the body of this lamented Officer, whose melancholy fate excited such a mournful sensation last Christmas, had been found on the bank of the Indus, near Hyderabad. Since then we have been put in possession of the following particulars : On the evening of the 3rd instant, a report was made to Lieut. Forrest that a dead body had been washed ashore near the entrenched camp, who immediately sent and made known the occurrence to Captain Johnstone, with a view to the assembly of a court of inquest, Ca Captain Johnstone proceeded, in company with Captain Curties, the executive engineer, to the spot where the body was lying. They found that the body was dressed in a shirt and sleeping drawers of the European pattern, and the fact having excited hopes that the body might be that of Lieut. Chapman, they at once made a close examination of the dress, and found Lieut. Chapman's name on the shirt. There being now no doubt on the identity of the body, it was conveyed to Hyderabad, a report of the discovery made to the brigadier, and at 2 p.m. of the 4th, a court of inquest, presided over by Captain Curties, was assembled, and a more formal inquiry entered into, the proceedings of which we give below. The remains of the deceased officer were interred in the churchyard at Hyderabad, with the usual military honours, the funeral being attended by all the officers and the company of the artillery at the station. Proceedings of a court of inquest assembled at Hyderabad, on Thursday, the 4th day of May, 1854. President.-Captain Curties, ex-engineer. Members.-Capt. Johnstone, deputy-collector; Lieut. Tyrwhitt, deputy-collector; Ensign Moore, officiating lieut. of police; Assistant-Surgeon Bayne, C.S. 1. The Court proceed to view the body that was found on the bank of the Indus, and having minutely examined it are of opinion that it is the body of an European, which must have lain under water for a long period., 2. The shirt, banian, and sleeping drawers, still on the corpse, are all carefully inspected. 3. On the first article of dress the name of "Chapman "' is distinctly visible. This portion of the shirt is therefore cut out, and attached to these proceedings, also a small portion of the sleeping drawers. The dress exactly tallying with that in which Lieut. Chapman was said to have been last seen, the size, the general appearance of the body, the circumstances under which it was understood Lieut. Chapman met his death, lead the Court to the unanimous conclusion that this is really the body of that officer. 4. There are no signs or marks that would lead the Court to suppose that Lieut. Chapman met his death in any other way than by drowning, which mournful event took place by the sinking of his boat off the village of Jam-ka-shore, on the 22nd December, 1853, and the Court returned a verdict of "Found drowned."--Sindian, May 10. MR. JOHN LANG, has been retained by the Jhansi Maharanee. He is said to have received a large retaining fee, and to have stipulated to visit England in the furtherance of the prosecution of his client's claims, if necessary. The old lady urges the right of an adopted son of the late Maharajah's to the succession to the annexed state. The Jhansi territory, we need scarcely remind our readers, was annexed to the British dominions in March last, by Lord Dalhousie. MR. J. F. HUTCHINSON, the Deputy Sheriff of Bombay, has been appointed manager of the Bombay Steam Navigation Company. CAPT. HAINES.-It appears that a charge of some sort or other is about to be brought by the Bombay authorities against Capt. Haines, late political agent at Aden. His baggage was seized; detained, and examined by a committee (Mr. A. D. Robertson, C.S.; Capt. Powell, I.N.; and Major Pope, commissary general); and he himself has been held to bail before the senior magistrate. No other particulars have transpired; but Capt. Haines seems to be peculiarly liable to investigations, having only just been exonerated from blame in the case of the defalcations at Aden.Englishman. THE NARRA.-The Scindian states that great efforts are now being made to open the Narra, a river which flows through the eastern portion of the district of Hydrabad. Lieut. Fife, in charge of the works, has remained in tents throughout the hot season, in order to drive them on, and it is said that the result of his labours is already apparent. The harvest in the districts along the Narra has been quadrupled in a single year. INSOLVENTS.-It appears, from an official statement, that during the six months ending 1st January, 1854, the insolvent court of Bombay dealt with claims to the amount of Rs. 63,04,000. Of the total number of insolvents, three hundred and ninety had no assets whatever, while their aggregate liabilities amounted to Rs. 12,33,000. THE NEW WATER-WORKS. - The Bombay Telegraph and Courier informs us that the new water-works for the supply of the presidency will be ready by the end of 1855. The reservoir is to be an artificial fresh-water lake, seven miles square, at Vehar, in the island of Salsette. Thence the water will be conveyed in iron pipes along the line of railway to the town, a distance of eighteen miles. The value of land around the tank, or lake, will, it is believed, be greatly enhanced; and the Telegraph warns the Government against allowing speculators to step in and purchase the property. It is said that five hundred deaths have occurred in Bombay during this hot season from drinking bad water. COLONEL OUTRAM has been removed from the Residency of Baroda for the purpose of taking up an appointment as DeputyGovernor of Aden. The nature of his services is, however, not yet known, but it is generally believed that should a force of any strength be sent from India into Egypt, it will be placed under his orders. H.M.'s 78TH HIGHLANDERS AND 10TH HUSSARS.-There is a report in Bombay, and in quarters likely to be well informed, that a wing of H.M.'s 78th Highlanders, and two squadrons of the 10th Hussars, come down to the presidency immediately for embarkation to Suez. If this be true, we imagine that the above will but form the first instalment of troops from this presidency for the seat of war. Two finer regiments for service could not be selected in any part of the world than the 10th and 78th. The horses of the former are all in first-rate condition, and the men, young and up to any work in the world. The discipline of the regiment has been greatly praised by successive general officers and brigadiers, ever since it came to India, in 1846. A friend who saw the corps reviewed not long ago, wrote us, "there is not in the 10th, from its plucky little colonel down to the youngest trumpeter, a single man who can be said to have passed the age for work; and the horses are as fine as the men.' The 78th Highlanders, too, is, we hear, avery fine regiment indeed. The men are mostly young, and every soul belonging to the "Rosshire Buffs" is most anxious to see service before the corps goes home. We only hope that, if sent to Egypt, both regiments will have opportunities of proving that they can fight as well as in former days. THE OFFICERS CHARGED WITH PERJURY. The courtmartial held on the officers connected with Lieut.-Col. Gidley's case has found verdicts as follows:-Lieut. L. B. Comyn, 15th N.I., guilty of having given false testimony on the trial of Lieut.Col. Gidley; sentenced to be cashiered. Lieut. R. Laurie, Ens. F. J. Loft, and Ens. G. S. Hammond, 15th N.I., have also been found guilty of the same offence, and have been sentenced to be cashiered. Lieut. T. D. E. Fraser, 15th N.I., similarly charged to the above-named officers, was found guilty, and sentenced to be dismissed the service. But the Court having recommended this officer to the merciful consideration of the Commander. in-Chief, his Excellency "recognising a marked difference between the less aggravated offence of Lieut. Fraser, acknowledged and repented of by him, and the offences of the other officers who have been brought before this court-martial, extends a pardon to Lieut. Fraser."-[Want of space compels us to delay the publication of the particulars of this court-martial, in extenso, until our next number.] CIVIL. APPOINTMENTS, &c. BAZETTE, R.
