TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE RIGHT HON'BLE THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA IN COUNCIL, MY LORD,

" No more than six months of the leave " granted under Medical Certificate shall be reck- oned as actual service in calculating the period " of service entitling the Chief Justice, or Puisne Judge , to a pension ."

Para. 1.--Your letters Nos . 33 and 51, dated respectively 14th July and Sth October 1862 on the subject of the Rule relating to leave on Medical Certificate , prescribed for Judges of the High Court , have been considered by me in Council.

2. On a further consideration of the subject , and for the reasons stated in your communications under acknowledgment, I have resolved to adopt the recommendation at paragraph 5 of your Des - patch No. 33 , in regard to those Judges of the High Court who do not belong to the Covenanted Civil Service , and to leave the absence on Medical Certificate of the Judges who are Covenanted Civil Servants to be regulatedby the Rules of the

This does not necessitate any alteration in the wording of the Rule . But, in regard to these Judges , it willbe quite snilicient that, on such occasions , they submit the Medical Certificate, without applying for leave. 5. The annexed is a complete set of the revised Rules on Furloughs and leave of absence which Service to which they belong. 3. The following Rules will , therefore, be sub- stituted for Rules 6, 7, and 8 of the Furlough [ 1100 ]

3. I am of opinion , however, that this decision should not be allowed to interfere with the prac- tice which has been followed under the Regula tions of 1854 , and those in force previously , for permitting Officers in certain cases of emergency to return to this country on private affairs for short periods without pay, and that a Staff Corps Officer permitted to return to Europe under such circumstances should be allowed to hold his ap- pointment for a period not exceeding six months . In fact, this has already been authorized in Question and Answer No. 121 , which states that the Government may grant leave of absence for six months on urgent private affairs without pay and allowance to a Staff Corps Officer , with retention of appointment, on being satisfied of the urgency of the case.

2. It appears to me that the interpretation put byyour Government on the portion ofthe Furlough Rules referred to is proper ; and that it should necordingly be laid down as a rule for the guidance of the respective Governments. ,

That an Officer must have served ten years in India to entitle him to return to this country on private affairs for six months, retaining his appointment and drawing Furlough pay .

That an Officer who has taken the Furlough to Europe for two years , after ten years' service , must shew a service in India from date of return of ten years, to entitle him to return to Europe on private affairs for six months, retaining his appointment and drawing Furlough pay.

3. I take the opportunity of drawing your attention to the opinion expressed by the Bengal Civil Pay- Master in the 8th8th paragraphparagraph of his letter to the address of your predecessor, No. 271 , dated 26th January 1859 , that " the rate of 3-10ths of salary is applicable to Ministerial Officers only , and was never intended for responsible Officers who received their appointments direct from Government . "

SIR, I AM directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 432-196 of the 14th January 1863, and in reply to state that the Hon'ble the President in Council is pleased to sanction the substitution of travelling allowance , at Rupees 3 per diem, for batta at 3-10ths of salary in favor of all Uncovenanted Officers in the North - Western Provinces ; and further , to give those Officers the option of exchanging the daily allowance for a mileage under the orders contained in the 2nd paragraph of Financial Notification No. 39G . of the 16th December 1862. The present orders is not applicable to the class known as Ministerial Officers .

By Order of the Hon'ble the Lieutenant- Governor, North - Western Provinces, FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT .- No . 522 A.- Allaha- bad, the 30th March 1863. The following corres- pondence between the Government of India , in the Financial Department , and the Civil Pay- Master, North-Western Provinces , is published for general information :-

R. SIMSON, Offg. Secy.to Govt. , N. W. P. From L. C. PROBYN , ESQ. , Civil Pay- Master , North - Western Provinces , to the HON'BLE E. DRUMMOND, Secretary to the Government of India, Financial Department , ( Νο . 196-432, dated Allahabad , the 14th January 1863.)

ORDERS by the LIEUTENANT- GOVERNOR , Punjab Provinces .

GENERAL DEPARTMENT . The 2nd April 1863.- Transfer. No. 761.-Mr. C. Stephen , Extra As- sistant Commissioner, from the Rohtuk to the Kurnaul District.

WITH reference to Notification No. 39G . , dated 16th December 1862 , published in the Calcutta Gazette of 17th idem , relative to the travelling allowance of Officers when employed in the interior of their Districts on duty, I have the honor to observe that the practice of this Office has hitherto been to grant such allowance to Uncovenanted Officers attached to the North - Western Provinces , at the rate of 3-10ths of their salary, with ad- vertence to the orders quoted at Article 925 of the Civil Pay-Master's Manual .

JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT - The 4th April 1863.- Poswers. No. 270.- Ramshai , Naib Tehseeldar of Kooshab , is vested with the powers of a Sub- ordinate Magistrate of the Second Class , and with- Civil powers to the extent exercised by Tohseel dars of the Second Class , as a special case , on certi- fied fitness , and until the Settlement in the Shah . poor District is completed .

2. It appears , however, from the Notification above referred to , and also from the Orders of 11th March 1859 , quoted at Article 978, that the Subordinate Executive Officers in the Bengal Presidency are permitted to draw Rupees 3 per diem as tentage allowance ; and I would venture to suggest, for the consideration and orders of His Excellency the Governor General in Council , that this Rule be made applicable to these Pro- vinces, for it seems somewhat anomalous that Uncovenanted should ever draw a higher rate of travelling allowance than that fixed for Covenanted Officers, yet this is constantly the case, e. g. ,

advantage of. It should also be noted that, but for the action of these Canals , the loss of Revenue to Government would have greatly exceeded the sum of eleven lakhs , which is the amount held over in the distressed Districts, being only 9 per cent. on the assessed Revenue .

It is impossible to notice here all the matters of interest embraced in the Report and all that will be attempted will be to suew the financial condition of each Canal .

GANGES CANAL .

THIS Report has reached the Government of India sixteen months after the expiry of the year to which it refers . The delay in its submis- sion is to be regretted, but it has been very care- fully prepared by Colonel Turnbull , and the results it exhibits are very gratifying and reflect great credit on that Officer's administration of the De- partment during a year of such exceptional strain on its resources .

The main Canal , including the two terminal' divisions , is 520 miles in length , and the length of Rajbuhas completed , on 30th April 1861 , is 1,542 miles. With its branches and disdistributing chan- nele the Canal had , to the same date, cost Rupees 1,87,48,280 , while the value of the crops produced by means of the Canal during the year under review is estimated at Rupees 1,51,22,640 . The aren of land irrigated was 536 square miles , and 3,463 villages received thebenefits of irrigation . The cost of maintenance and repairs for 1860-61 (in . cluding a fair share of the cost of the Central Office ) amounted to Rupees 4,62,327, and the amount of Revenue derived in the same period was Rupees 6,45,115 .

The following Table shews the progress made by the Gangos Canal since it commenced to yield Revenue:-

1 Before noticing the financial condition of the Canals it is proper to premise that the year un- der review was one of drought , which created an exceptional demand for water and necessitated the expansion of irrigation to the utmost. The Revenue derived was , in consequence , very much in excess of that realized in the preceding year , the Ganges Canal alone shewing an excess of about 82 per cent . That the Canal was able to meet the largely increased demand for water was due to the activity with which the Rajbuhas or distribut- ing channels were constructed during the preced ing year, and it is very grati'ying to find that the progress since made in the construction of these chanuels inclines the local Authorities to be san- guine that the Revenue in 1861-62 willbe found not to have mat rially retrograded .

A perusal of pages 65 to 60 of Colonel Turn- bull's Report il convey an idea of the enormous benefits which have resulted to the country and the people from the free and prompt supply of water from the Canals . In addition to being the means of bringing thousands of tons of valuable produce to maturity these Canals were powerful auxiliaries to the measures of relief which were adopted by affording a ready means to the comaru- nity of transporting guain to the suffering Dis- tricts which was duly appreciated and taken tull [ 152 ]

at 5 per cent. per annum, amounts to Rupees 48,18,144 .

Itmay also be noted as satisfactory that, while the outlay in original works during 1860-61 ex- ceeded that of the past year by Rupees 1,04,594, the cost of maintenance was a trifle, less Rupees 802 .

It will thus be seen that for the first time since the opening of the Canal the receipts have ex- ceeded the outlay during the year , and the balance of charges has, in consequence, been reduced from Rupees 12,10,419 in 1859-60, to Rupees 10,27,631 în 1860-61 , exclusive of interest on capital , which ,

The increase of income may be thus analyzed and compared with the preceding year :-

nothing but the most filthy muddy water was to be obtained from them . Everywhere vil- lages were deserted , many were almost empty . The land was unable tosupport the laborer and the laborer forsook the land , and it is with feelings of horror we read that even in places where cattle couldbe fed and laborers found it often happened that the cultivators could with difficulty procure seed, " for the Buniahs with devilish forethought " refused to advance it, calculating upon sell- " ing them out of their house and home, ejecting " them altogether from their farms , and taking " possession of them themselves ." It is not sur- prising, under the circumstances, to find it stated by Colonel Turnbull that he knows , from personal intercourse with the people, the thankful feeling they entertain towards the Government for having enabledabled them , not only to hold together as village communities, but to prosper to such an extent in many cases as to be able to liquidate debts which had encumbered them for years and to free them- selves entirely from usurious Bankers or Buniahs . The large number of boats which were collected in the narrow channel of the Canal during the years under review has shewn the absolute neces- sity for Docks at Cawnpore, and it is the inten- tion to submit a project for their construction . The Docks should, Colonel Turnbull thinks , be connected with the Railway either by Tramroad or a still water Canal .

The Inttehgurh and Boolundsbuhar branches were specially undertaken with the view of affording such employment to the starving population, and upwards of 15,000 persons were daily engaged on these works alone . The ma- jority of the laborers were Chumars (working class) , lxit a fair proportion of Jhats and Goojars (agricultural classes) was found among them , and it is aid of the se latter that there were many whohad never perhaps talen a digging tool in their hands, but who in their distress were thank- ful to get employment, and with their wives and families were to be found daily performing a hard day's task . Of their thankful acceptance of the employment offered there cannot be a doubt when we read that in some parts of the country not a a blade of grass wis to be seen, not a drop of water to be found in the village tanks, and that thewells were so ever- worked by the hundreds of wretched people who crowd daily to them that

The receipts of 1858-59 were the largest on record , they were very largely exceeded in 1859-60, and there is a small advance over the last in 1860-01 , which must be considered satisfactory seeing that the volume of the river was reduced so much below its ordinary proportions that it was found neces- sary to starve the Sugarcane cultivation until the Wheat was safe, and to deny water to men who had sown on low ground and could do without it for a time in order to give it to those who who were less fortunately siutated and in greater need.

The Mill Rents are low but have been gradually rising from 9 annas a day- in 1856-57 , to 14 annas in 1860-61 .

The operations undertaken for the drainage of the Sooltanpore swamp have proved perfectly successful . Except a few patches in the very heart of the swamp the whole area is now fit for culti- vation. The value of the grain produced on the portion of the swamp that had been reclaimed during the past year is said to have been more than Rupees 50,000 , and the expenditure up to that time had been only Rupees 3,700 .

Major Brownlow is making an endeavor to introduce a Contract system of irrigation . Twelve Contracts were entered into for three years from May 1860, and they are said to have proved most beneficial to the villages that entered into them . Circumstances have prevented further action in the matter.

The total expenditure has been Rupees 38,433, the income only Rupees 5,409 , giving a deficit of Rupees 28,024. This is doubtless unsatisfactory , but better results are now anticipated as the pressure of the season has at length overcome the apathy of the people and led them to cut their watercourses, the construction of which they had deferred from year to year. Having now con- structed them and found the benefit of the water it is hoped they will make continual use of them.

The increase both in expenditüreare and in- come is due to the raising ofthe side walls, and it is in contemplation to line with masonry every portion of the existing earthen chanuels .

Mr. Battie, the ' Superintendent , combats the prevailing opinion that irrigation is not of much value in Rohilcund . He maintains that this is only true of the ordinary Rubbee crops, such as Wheat , Barley, & c . , but that the staple produce of the Province is Rice and Sugar, neither of which can, under ordinary circumstances , be grown without ample irrigation The sinall Return to Government is owing, he says, to the low rate of charge, viz , about four annas per irrigated beegah :-

8,164 From the above Statements it will have been seen that there has been an increase of Revenue on all the Dhoon Canals during the past year. In none of these small Canals is the supply of water equal to the demand, and it is in contemplation to increase the supply by lining them with masonry and so preventing wastage . The Returns from the Rajpoor Canal would have been much larger had all its water been used for irrigational purposes; but so large a quantity is supplied to the Town of Dehrah, the Jail, and other public Establish- ments for domestic purposes, that large areas of land to which the cultivators had dug new water courses , some at much expense, could not be supplied with water . Colonel Turnbull is of opinion that it would be but fair to the Canal to make a small charge for the water supplied to the Town and public Establishments .

We left Debrooghur on the afternoon of Sunday , the 22nd ultimo , and for the first forty miles steamed through a fine brond deep channel , the water of which was so clear that the bottom was plainly distinguishable at a depth of five or six feet. The current was rapid, but by no means impetuous , except at one point , where two trees lying parallel to each other in mid channel cause a considerable rush of water ; but we passed that point without difficulty and met with no obstacle whatever till we reached the first rapid , which we did about 8 o'clock on the 23rd . This rapid is caused by the stones and pebbles washel into the Berhampootra from the Lallee, and , commencing just above Pobah Mookh , extends from that point for about a mile upwards towards the Lallee . Just below that river the Berhampootra branches into three channels , that to the north containing at present the largest volume of water, and up it we accordingly proceeded, but after an ineffectual attempt to stem the current were forced to desist, drop down stream, and anchor for the night op- posite the Pobah Mookh . The centre channel , which is the next largest , was then examined, but found too shallow for our draught , and it was ac- cordingly determined to try the main channel again . This we did next morning, but , after an obstinate battle of several hours with the current , found we could not advance even so far as we had done the day before , and were again obliged to fall back and anchor in still water.

mouth of the Dehong and Debong , and that , although the channel beyond has probably never at any time been cleared , yet that a small sum would suffice to remove the obstructions that opposed our progress and open the river all the way to Sudyah for traffic even at this season, the most unfavorable.perhaps in the whole year for its navigation owing to the lowness of the water .

mouth of the Dehong and Debong Rivers , whose joint stream looks much more imposing than that of the Berhampootra itself, in following which one seems to be leaving the main channel altogether. The river here takes an extremely sharp bend , and to our great disappointment we found it choked with snags . We tried in vain to make our way through them under steam , and were obliged at last to anchor that the channel might be ex- amined. The result was that it was determined to haul through, and we set about doing so the next morning . By 2 o'clock we had cleared we hoped was the only remaining bar to our pro gress; but after proceeding a little way the chan- nel, which I had expected to see widen after passing the obstructions caused by the Dehong and Debong , was found so narrow, and so full of trees and snags, that I considered it would be un- justifiable in me to risk the vessel by taking it on further before I had had a survey of the river myself, and I very reluctantly, therefore, brought the voyage to a conclusion. Next morning 1 started for Sudyah by land,

having elephants fortunately at my disposal , and

reached the Station in six hours . The distance

was not more than fourteen miles , but in places

whating that measures be taken towards dearing the - channel, not only to the Station itself, but as At t first sight a proposal, in view to opening up steam communication just now with Sudyah, may seem premature ; but I believe the advantages likely to result from sending a steamer there осса- sionally are so great as to warrant my recommend- finest lime- much further on as the river may be found navi- gable for steamers, to which end I would suggest that a survey and estimate of expense be at once called for . It may be as well perhaps to re - call to the recollection of Government that, though there is an inexhaustible supply of the finest stone in the bed of Berhampootra at Chunpara , twenty miles above Sudyah , lime itself is both scarce and expensive in the Province owing to the difficulties in the way of transport. Anything done , therefore , towards inproving the existing means of traffic above Debrooghur is of the most unquestionable benefit both to Governinent and to private parties.

and I took advan- tageof the occasion toto impress on the Singphoes the necessity of abandoning opiam, cultivation , which a few of them still carry on. I was dis- appointed that none of the Meyong Abors attend- ed ; but Captain Comber hardly expected them to do so, as they had been down froin their Hills so lately before, and besides it was questionable whether they had received notice of my intended visit .

Already, too, we are beginning to hear a cry from the Debrooghur Tea Planters for more room to extend their operations, and the direction they look to is the Sudyah neighbourhood , where, I am confident, land will be taken up largely ifGovern- ment will signify their approval of one of the teamers stationed in Assam being occasionally sent there . But , independently of every other consi . deration, it would undoubtedly produce the most salutary effect on the different Tribes in that direction to see steamers periodically at Sudyah , a point perhaps of more importance than any other that could be urged in favor of the step advocated . Before concluding I beg to be allowed to bring Captain Danvers' conduct to the favorable notice of Government . His successor arrived at Debroo two days before I left for Sudyah ; but as I know Captain Danvers' good qualities as a Commander, I retained him in charge of the vessel for the trip , and had every cause to congratulate myself in having done so, as he managed the steamer admirably under considerable difficulties .

Sanitary condition of certain Villages in the Baraset , Hooghly, and Nuddea Districts.

From DB . J. MCCLELLAND, Officiating Principal Inspector- General , Modical Department, to E. H. LusnINGTON, Esq. , Secretary to the Government of Bongal , ( No . 1078 , dated the 10th February 1863. )

On the following day I returned to the steamer, carefully noticing the channel as we dropped down the river . There was abundance of water throughout our course, with a current of moderate strength; but while I have no doubt whatever that we could have steamed up to Sudyah , the channel was so studded with snags we should have been obliged , I think, to kedge the vessel the whole way down . This mode of progressing we were compelled to adopt to get past the mouth of the Dehong and Debong when we left our anchor- age onthe morning of the and, and, notwithstanding all the caution that was used, we drifted athwart one of the sunken trees , the river, as I have men- tioned , is encumbered with at that particular point, and could not get clear of it until next morning. When we did so, however, we met with no further impediment and returned here without , I am happy to say, having met with any accident to the vessel whatever .

I BRG respectfully, in forwarding the enclosed Reports from Dr. Elliot, to * To be returned . suggest, for the consideration of His Ilonor the Lieutenant - Governor , the ad- visability of adopting measures with a view to the improvement of the sanitary condition of the Villages which have been the seat of disease in che Buraset,Burs Hooghly, and Nuddea Districts during the last two rainy seasons , as well as that I am hopeful that the journey has not been altogether barren of good results. It is now at least proved there is nothing to prevent any ordinary river steamer from going as high as the [ 157 ]

of the Villages lying in the course of the epide- mic, which seems to travel southward .

11. In conversation on this subject Dr. Elliot stated that a few years ago a similar epidemic pre- vailed, I think, in the JessoreJessore District,District, which was completelympletely eradicated,eradieradicated , byby MMr. Beaufort , of the Civil Service, then Collector or Magistrate . The appointment of some energetic Member of the Civil Service on the present occasion would be necessary to secure the success of the proposed measures within the period now available for their accomplishment .

2. Dr. Elliot's enquiries are not yet sufficiently advanced to enable him to describe accurately the nature of the disease further than that it seems tobe a fatal form of Fever which leaves its victims , if they escape its first attack , to linger under an obstinate intermittent of the tertian or quartan type, with enlargement of the Spleen and Liver, Dysentry, Diarrhea, or, in some cases , severeAsthma and general Dropsy .

3. The Villages which have suffered most are generally these on the bank of the River, or less than a mile inland between Hooghly and Goop- teeparah , and from thence to Culna.

12. The concluding observation in Dr. Elliots' Report of the 6th instant is well deserving of at. tention , namely, that the disease appears to be travelling southward towards the 24 - Pergunnahs . Ile suggests , therefore, that remedial measures should be entered upon below Barrackpore as speedily's possible, and from there be carried up- wards through the various Villages indicated .

18. In conclusion, 1 beg respectfully to state that no time will be lost in subinitting the final Report of Dr. Elliot as soon as it reaches this Office .

4. In the Baraset District the disease has extended north into Nuddea and south to Tita- ghur, near Barrackpore , where the jurisdiction of the 24-Pergunnahs commences ; south- east as far as Dum-Dum ; north -east as far as Echapore , Goberdangah , and other large Villages on the Jumoonah River ; and westward towards Nye- hattee and other places on the south of the Nuddea Divisjon .

From Dr. J. ELLIOT, Civil Assistant Surgeon , on special duty, to the Secretary, PrincipalInspector- General , Medi- cal Department, (No. 1. )

5. Having made himself acquainted with most of the Villages in which the epidemic has been most virulent, Dr. Elliot observes that he is now in a position to predict that , unless some sanitary mensures are taken before the commencement of the ensuing rains, the epidemic will return with increased virulence about the middle of July or August next .

In compliance with the Bengal Government Order dated 12th instant , appointing me to make special enquiry into the nature and cause of the epidemic now prevalent in the Districte of Hooghly and Baraset, I have the bonor to report , for the present information the Principal Inspector- General , that I left Hooghly on the 21st instant , and since then have visitet and inspected upwards of sixty Villages between Hundredelooghly and Goopteeparah , many of them situat- hased on the western bank of the river, others extending from three to six nules inland . Ihave noted in the margin the names of the

from obstinate In- escaped from death to suffer termittent Fever of the tertian or quartan type, enlargement of the Spleen and Liver , Dysentery, Diarrhena, and , in some cases, Dyspepsia and general Anasarca.

9. The sanitary improvements suggested by Dr. Elliot involve, in the first place , the thinning and removing the jungle about the Villages . He urges that the brushwoodshwood should be thoroughly cleared, rooted up, and burnt; the larger and better tanks deepened and cleared of vegetation , and the smaller either filled up or improved . A few large drains or khûls ought to be made to every Village, and smaller drains communicating with these ; all which , together with roads or paths, shouldbe made at the expense of the Villages , assisted , Dr. Elliot thinks ,by prison labor.

10. A Superintendent, he suggests , shouldbe appointed with full power to carry out the im- provement of the Villages in conjunction with the Magistrates, and as rapidly as possible , so that the whole may be completed before the ensuing rains.

ing about one mile inland, and from what I have The Villages which have suffered most are , with a few exceptions, on the bank of the river, extend- se'n I should say that four - fifths of the population either have been or are affected , and that tully 20 per cent have died. In the worst Villages, such as Bansberta and Shomrah , all have suffered more or less , the poor of course most , and for their relief Dispensaries have been established at the following places :-1st , Hooghly ; 2wd, Hossein- abad, six miles south from Hooghly ; 3rd, Tree- banee ; Wh , Ballaghur ; 5/4 , Shomrah ; 6th , Pun- dooah . Another will be opened at Goopteeparah in the course of two or three days, when the services of the Native Doctor at Pundocah will be available . In the meantime I have requested the Sub-Assistant Surgeon ( Baboo Galla Chand Dey ) to remain at Pundooah and perform the duties t.ll [ 158 ]

such time as a Native Doctor can be sent to relieve him. I think his services might be dispensed with and a Native Doctor employed in his stead .

There are now six Branch Dispensaries in the District , all working well , most of which I have visited twice during the past fortnight .

Ihave only paid a cursory visit to three Dispen- saries in Baraset

DuttPokur.

2. Nyehattee .

3. Chagda .

4. Kachraparah.

and Kishnaghur .At the first there is a good supply of medicine , and the

intelligent and apparently Native Doctor is attentive to his duties .

The attendance was good.

I think these ought to be sufficient for Hooghly; but if Medical aid is to be available to all the Native Doctors must move about from one place to another, as many poor people are unable to walk even a couple of miles for assist- ance , and have no one to send for medicine . Con- stant moving will frustrate the object in view, as none of the Patients can obtain relief or expect to be cured under a month's constant treatment .

In some Villages whole households have died, leaving, perhaps , one solitary person who has Fever every third or fourth day, and is helpless .

The man at Chagda informed me that he had been at his post for upwards of a month without medicines . 1 have now sent a supply to him and also to Kachraparah , but have not yet been able to see how they are working . I shall sit them in the course of two or three days .

In others the members of the house have Fever alternately; the person who remains well pre- pares what food is required for the others , and performs the household duties for that day, and so on, in succession . When all are "prostrated (which is frequently the case) they either fast or partake of what remains of the previous day's meal, cold, which , in their weak state , cannot be digested. A fresh attack of Fever is the result , perhaps , Diarrhea, Dysentery , or Cholera closes the scene .

The daily attendance at the Dispensaries on the Hooghly side is large ( at Ballaghur , new and old, about 200 daily) , and those who attend regularly are gradually obtaining relief, and inspiring others with confidence . I have visited the interior of nearly all the Villages round, and find the people glad to avail themselves of assistance offered to them . A furtherfurther supply of a few articles of medi- cine, such as Barley , Sulpburic Acid , Sulphate of Iron, Compound Chalk Powder, with Opium, & c. , will shortly be required , which will be indented for in due time. The general stock of medicine is kept with me, and only such articles are given out as are absolutely necessary . as

In the Kishnaghur District I have visited San- tipore and the Villages north - east of it as far as Woolah, a distance of about ten miles . Fever is prevalent in all , as well as in the Villages to the north towards Kishnaghur .

Woolah was formerly a large populous city with about 18 or 200,000 inhabitants . During the last six years it has nearly been depopulated, upwards of 12,000 people having died of Fever and its Sequelæ , Splenitis , Diarrhwa , and Dysen- tery.

A considerable sum of money has been collected by the Magistrate and is in his hand. I solicit the favor of your informing me whether the Contingent Bills, pay of Colopounders , and other expenses are to be defrayed from this fund ? I shall report more fully in the course of a tew days regarding the Dispensaries in the Districts of Kishnaghur and Baraset.

From Du . J. ELLIOT, Civil Assistant Surgeon , on special duty , to the Secretary, Principal Inspector -General, Me- dical Department, (No. 2, dated Jantuaryv 863-) 10th

The worst cases have, of course, long since died out, and the few who now remain are miserable wrecks of human beings , most of them suffering from constant Fever, with wasted limbs, jaun- diced complexions , and enormous enlargoment of the Spleen and Liver .

In continuation of my letter dated 31st ultimo , I have the honor further to report , for the infor- mation of the Principal Inspector - General , Medical Department, that I have since then visited up- wards of eighty Villages in the Hooghly District , squated chieflybetween Ballaghur and Culna, and to the south or south - west of these places as far as Pundooah .

The place is overgrown with jungle ; two- thirds or more of the houses have fallen into decay ; the tanks are covered with weed and decaying vego- table matter, emitting an offensive odour ; and the residents informod me that those who partako of the water, or remain in the place for a few days, are certain to be attacked with Fever how- ever healthy they may previously have been . Ihave visited

*Woolah.

I remained for three days at the latter place , after which I proceeded by Rail to Magrorah , and examined the Villages cast of that Station and west of Treebanee, which I had not previously feen .

I find the same type of Fever , and the same diseases prevalent in all , considerably modified in the Villages situated inland ( Pundooah excepted ) . At the Jatter place the mortality during the last

six months has been fearful , and there are still many people suflering from Intermittent Fever, enlargement of Spleen and Liver , general Anasarca, and affections of the Chest and Abdomen .

certified of the necessity, think proper to extend then.

From V. H. SCHALOH, Esq., Commissioner of the Nuddea Division, to the Secretary to the Government of Bengal, (No. 8Ct. , dated the 19th February 1868. )

8. I would beg respectfully to solicit early attention to this subject, for the loss of each day renders the task of completing the requisite measures previous to commencement of the rain more difficult .

From Da J. ELLIOT , Civil Assistant Surgeon of Hooghly, to the Commissioner of the Nuddea Division , Alipore,-- (No. 4, dated the 3rd February 1863.) IN

LEARNING from the Returns received from the Magistrates of Nudden and the 24 - Pergunnahs that Epidemic Fever was still prevailing to a very great extent in certain Villages , I wrote to Dr. Elliot , who had been deputed to enquire specially into the causes of the disense , whether he could suggest any remedial measures which the Civil Authorities might at once catry out to lessen the virulence of the disease , and I annex his reply .

In reply to your letter No. 18, dated 26th ultimo , I have the honor to report , for your infor- mation, that I visited the Villages of Santipore, Woolah, and Kachraparah , about a fortuight ago, and again saw Kachraparah yesterday .

2. From this you will perceive that he recom- mends the uprooting, clearing away, and burning of the jungle, thinning the trees and bamboo clumps , re - digging the larger tanks and filling in others , clearing out existing drains and construct- ing others , and this not in one, but in some thirty Villages , which he has selected as those most affected by the disease.

There are not now many new cases of Fever in any of these places , as the epidemic has consider- ably abated during the past month ; but many , or , I may say, nearly all the inhabitants of the two latter Villages, are still suffering from the effects of the previous four years' Fever .

The mortality at Woolah during this year has certainly been above 7,000 (report says more than 12,000) , and the place is now so overgrown with jungle that clearing it will be both difficult and expensive .

3. During my present visit at Baraset I have spoken to the inhabitants , urging the necessity of their immediately undertaking these sanitary measures within their own grounds ; but my appeal has met with no response, and I am convinced that, not only shall we obtain no voluntary assist- ance from the Villagers generally , but that, to procure the necessary labor for these works , we must import Coolies trom other Districts to a con- siderable number .

4. To carry out the measures proposed by Dr. Elliot will be a work of great magnitude , requir- ing considerable expenditure, and the creation of aspecial agency, and it is useless, without funds and without labor, to make even an attempt until the Government has determined what amount of funds can be placed at the disposal of the Local Authorities .

I should say that nearly one- half of the houses have fallen into decay, and are overgrown with treees, wood, and low jungle ; the tanks are fast fillinging up with muds, decaying vegetable matter, and lo and long grass; the water in most of them is decomposed and altogether unfit for use , yet the people continue to use it for bathing , cooking , and even drinking purposes. The few people who have escaped from death in Woolah are constantly suffering from Fever, and will eventually fall victims to it if they remain in the place in its present state .

Kachraparah is a degree better than Woolah, andbeing a smaller Village the mortality, has not been so great ; but it, as well as the adjoining Villages, Nyehattee , Halleeshahur, and others , are quite overgrown with jangle, and have been de- cimated by Fever during the last four years .

The only remedial measures I can suggest would be to uproot, thoroughly clear away, and burn the jungle , thin the trees and bamboo clumps, re-dig the larger tanks , and fill up the others with the earth that has been dug up.

5. However objectionable it may be that the general resources of the Government should be applied to remedy the neglect of individuals and for the immediate benefit of those individuals , yet the present is a case, I would submit, in which an exception must be made, for not only are the inhabitants incapable of effectually clear- ing their Villages from their own resources, but in every probability, if immediate steps are not taken to effect the necessary sanitary measures before the close of the hot season, the epidemic will re -appear in a more virulent form and extend its ravages to Calcutta, towards which it has year by year been rapidly approaching . That this will be the result is,is , I amam ininformed, Dr. Elliot's opinion.

Some system of drainage also is necessary to admit of the escape of the surface water . In all places 1 have visited there is an utter want of drainage , and in their present state the water stagnates in the greater number of the Villages during the whole rainy season . Any drains that may previously have existed are now tilled up, and there is no escape for the water .

6. Consequently , a judicious expenditure , however large, will save not only the inhabitants of the suffering Village, from the return of the epidemic, but will defend from its ravages the Troops at Barrackpore and Dum- Duin and the inhabitants of Calcutta itself.

In addition to this , in many places the jungle is so dense, and the Villages are so shut in by bamboo clumps and trees, that the sun's rays never penetrate into them .

I would therefore suggest that I be nutho . rized to prepare , in communication with Dr. Elliot and the Magistrates of the 24 - Pergunnalis and Nuddea, a comprehensive scheme for carrying out the measures suggested by Dr. Elliot through- out the affected fract of country extending over an area of some 800 square miles ; and that, with a view to prevent a recurrence of the causes which have created the epidemic , an Actbe at once passed, introducing the sanitary provisions of Act XXI . of 1557 ( the Suburban Conservancy Act) into all Sudder Stations and Sub -Divisional Head-Quarters, and iuto "uch tract of country as the Lieutenant-Governor in Bengal may, when [ 162 ]

The Government is prepared to promote the efforts of the people in the attain- ment of this most necessary and important object by legislation , by the services of its Otligers , and by such other means as maybe in its power , but the funds must come from the people for whose particular advantage they will be expended. To the Zemindars and principal Landholders you may justly add a few remarks on the necessity of their bearing a share of this expense, not only as a dutytheythey owe to their Ryots , but as the only means of preventing the ruin of these Estates, and the further spread of the disease to other parts of the country .

whereby this desirable objectobject might be attained. 9. In all matters relating to the subject of your enquiry you should communicate freely and personally with Dr. Elliot, and take advantage of the assistance and advice which his professional skill and knowledge, and the enquiries he has airwady made, will enable him to render with advantage.

correspondence to which this letter has reference , you should arrange a plan for visiting all the villages which have been inspected by Dr. Elliot, or to which allusion is made by him in his Reports , as having suffered from this epidemic, as well as others that may have been affected by it . You should issue a Circular to the Zemindars of these Villages, inviting each one to meet you in his own Village, on an appointed day, for the purpose of personally enquiring with you into the sanitary state of the Village, especially as it may be affected by the jungle growing round the houses, and by the state of the tanks and drains in the neighbourhood , and also of considering what messures had best be adopted towards abating the epidemic and preventing its further extension.

10. You willbe vested with the powers of Magistrate in the Districts of 21 -Pergunnahs, Nuddea, Hooghly, and Burdwan , and you will receive the salary of your present office of Joint Magistr Magistrate of Moorshedabad , together with Rupees 5 a day travelling allowances,during your absence on this spécial duty.

4. At your inspection of each Village the presence of the most respectable and intelligent of its inhabitants should also be required, and you should endeavor to ascertain from them how long this epidemic has continued , what have been its effects in regard to the number of deaths, and what are the causes to which , in their opinion, it is attributable.

11. Tents will be prowded you by the Magis- trate of Kishnaghur or Bårdwan, and you will be at liberty to entertain an Establishment of a Writer and two Chupprassies at a total cost of Rupees 30 a month .

5. If it should appear that the sufferings to which the residents of these Villages have been exposed have resulted from the existence of jungle or stagnant tanks you will urge them to take im- mediate combined measures to remove these causes of disease, and to state what asistance they are prepared to render for the purpose, either by sub- seribing for hired labor , or by agreeing to under take the work themselves , either jointly under proper direction, or each within his own premises . The Zemindars should also be required to co operate.

FROM Dr. Elliot's Report of the 18th instant, herewith forwarded, it willbe observed that the type of the Fever is not new, having been known in certain damp undrained jungly places at various periods within the last forty years , as , for instance, tuo Station of Jessore and Villages in the neighbourhood, from whence it disappeared in consequence of the measures adopted by Mr. Beaufort, the Magistrate of that place, with a view to the removal of the jungles about the Vil- lagos, the extension of cultivation, and improved drainage.

Report on Epidemic, Remittent and Intermittent, Fever occurring in parts of Burdwan and Nuddea Divisions by Dr. J. Elliot .

It seems after that to have become general over the Pergunnah , and about the year 1850-51 it is heard of at Ganrpotha, twelve miles north east of Srecnnggur. It then spread westward through the Villages of Deboogram , Majerkallee, Mooragatchee, and others in that quarter, and after nearly depopulating many of them reached Oolahat the commencement of the rainy season of 1856 .

I.-History in Jessore. A peculiar type of fever, called by Natives " Jur Beckar, " of the same nature as that now prevalent in many of the large Villages of the Burdwan and Nuddea Divisions, seems to have been prevalent in Jessore for many years previous to its first appearance in the District of Nuddea .

Berenuggur or Oolah was then a very large and populous Village , situated on a marshy spot of ground about three miles to the north of Ranaghat, and one mile west of the Choornee Nuddee, having a large Bheel of the same name to the south-west.

It appeared at Mahomedpore , a large Village on the River Ellen Kallee, about thirty miles east of the Station of Jessore , in the year 1824 or 1825 ; next at a place named Dalga , on the Cheetra Nuddee ; then at Nuldanga, on the Baeng Nuddee , a few vears later ; and at Chashra , a damp , unhealthy Village near Jessore , still

At that time it is said to have contained more than 18,000 inhabitants, 10,000 of whom, or uק wards, must have perished during the past six years .

known as an aguish spot , in the year 1831 . Kushba and many other Villages on the Bhyrub River were liable to outbreaks of fever at a much later period than the date abovementioned .

From this place the epidemic seems to have diffused itself over the southern part of Nuddea, the north- eastern part of Hooghly , and pretty generally over the whole of the District of Baraset. 4 The inhabitants of Gud Ghat , a large Village twelve miles north of the Station , suffered fearfully about the year 1855 or 1856 , when many hundreds died before medical aid could be affordedto them , and others fled panie - struck from the place .

During the three following years it extended north from Oolah through Baraset , Bad Koola, and Khamar Simleeah , to within a few miles pi the south - eastern part of the Station of Kish- naghur .

The Station of Jessore itself, and the Villages in the immediate neighbourhood, have only been healthy during the last ten years , since they were cleared of jungle, thoroughly drained , and the land cultivated under the superintendence and orders of Mr. F. Beaufort, then Magistrate of that place.

In 1859-60 it proceeded west through Phooleall , Nobla , Maleepotta , and a number of other Vil- lages, to Santipore , which has been comparatively free . Thence , in 1860 , it extended north to Go- bindpore, Deegnuggur , and neighbouring places, and since the above period up to date has become pretty general in most of the large Villages im- mediately south and south-west of Kishnaghur.

It is probably the same type of fever as was common in Rungpore, Dinagepore . Purneah, and some other Districts , which are now, I under- stand , pretty healthy .

ed but little) to Anoolen, Kaetparah , Jugpore, and South from Oolah it extended through Rana. ghat and surrounding Villages (which have suffer . others , as far as Chogda, on the River Hooghly, which place it reached in July 1857 .

II.-IIistory in Nuddea . From Jessore it would seem to have passed over to the contiguous Dis - trict of Nuddea about the year 1832 or 1833, attacking first the large and then populous Village of Gudkhally , situated between the Hureekhal and the stagnant River Cobbaduck . twelve miles south of Jessore, on the public road leading to Calcutta.

From Chogda, during 1858-59 , it continued to spread through the principal Villages on the river, as well as those located several miles in. land as far as Sooksagur , and thence in the same route , devastating many large Villages as it pro- ceeded : it reached Kachraparah , the most souther . ly point in the Nuddea jurisdiction, during the rainy season of 1859 .

I am informed that cholera preceded the out- break for two successive months ; that on the appearanee of fever many fled from the place: those who remained in the locality suffered fear- fully, and large numbers perished .

Goatallee, Khandbeela , Sookpokooria , in the same District, from fourteen to twenty miles north of the last mentioned place, seem to have been the next large Villages which were attacked about five years later. In 1835-36 they are said to have suffered excessively ; but I have not been able to hear of their present condition.

III.- History in Baraset.-Crossing the Bagai Khul , which separates Nuddea from Baraset , the epidemic extended from Kachraparah to the ad . joining Village of Haleeshohur , in Nyhattee Thannah. This was also a very large and populous place, extending south from Kachraparah, on the castern bank of the Ganges, to Nyhattce , opposite Chinsurah .

In the year 1840 Gudkhally was again attacked try the same type of fever , when its fearful ravages nearly depopulated the Village.

Fever of an epidemic type appeared in these Villages a few months later than at Kachraparah in the same year ( 1859) remained there , and ir the surrounding Villages during 1860-61 , carry. ing off numerous victims , and leaving others who are suffering from its effects at the present day .

The epidemie is next heard of in 1845-46 at a large VillageVillage named Sreenuggur, about twenty- five ailes south- west of Gudkhally, between the Stations of Bongong and Chogda. It continued there for years , and , after carrying off nearly three- fourths of the population , extended eastward to the neighbouring Villages of Gopalnuggur , Bahrampore, and others, which still suffer ; south to Digreeah, Chowbarecah , and other places , on the Juboona River ; north to Simooleah , Gansaree, and other Villages, within a circle of about five miles.

Private tanks, khals , garhs surrounding Zemin- dars' houses and compounds , to be re-dug and afterwards to be kept in proper order .

Drinking water tanks to be separate from those used for bathing and other purposes .

Villages and their vicinity, by which such of the sources of malaria as are known to exist shall be removed , all other efforts that may be put forth to arrest the diffusion and progress of this epidemic will be unavailing and ineffective . Un- fortunately these measures cannot be carried out without entailing considerable expense and causing some inconvenience to the community that is to benefit by them . Owing to the apathy and in- dolence of the greater proportion of the wealthy class of people, and to the want of any system of Village responsibility among them , it is apparent that nothing can be expected of the inhabitants if left to themselves .

3rd. Villages to be provided with proper and efficient drains running towards the river nearest khal or bheel as the slope maybe. A few large drains or khals should be constructed at some distance from one another in every Village, if necessary , for the removal of the bulk of water. Smaller surface drains should communicate with those from every part of the Village . All drains should be cleaned out at least twice a year.

4th. Free communication to be facilitated in Villages by the construction of a few good roads and raised pathways , with drainage on either side . The passages, narrow roads , and foul streets between houses to be cleared and thoroughly opened out , and the whole Village to undergundergo sanatory inspection . Buriul Grounds and Burning Ghats to be kept in decent order, and at a proper distance from the confines of all large Villager . Proper conservancy arrangements to be established in every Village .

Should, however, the Government think proper to provide the necessary superintendence in carrying out the work , I think the Zemindats and other men of wealth are bound to come forward in their respective Villages and provide the ineans and monev necessary to restore to a habit able condition the places which, partly by their neglect , have been allowed to run to waste and ruin. If this is done, and if the headmen are afterwards made responsible for the sanatory con- dition of their Villages , I feel pretty confident that the measures now to be recommended , if steadily and rigorously carried out , will not only have the effect of removing the present disease from among them, but will lead to the permanent

improvement of the localities in question . Poor Villages , and those which have almost been devastated , must either be cleared at the expense of Government, or by Prison labor, as may be thought best .

XVI. The in ensures I should recommend may be stated in a few words:-

The thick jungle ought to be burned to the ground, and the roots should be dug up , as far as it is possible, by hand labor. The ground thus cleared should be kept free of small jungle, which is apt to spring upafterwards by plough- ing and cultivation .

The planting of hedges, of plantain trees, and the growth of noxions weeds and jungle of all kinds should afterwards be prevented.

I am desired to forward the accompanying Report from Dr. Elliot, dated 18th instant, com- 2nd. Certain of the largest and best public

tanks in various parts of every Village to be re- municating, the result of his personal enquiries as to the extent and aparent causes of the fatal epidemic fever which li. now been so long, raging in parts of the District . of Hooghly , Nudden, and Baraset .

dng by the people collectively, so as to afford a good supply of water to all parts of the Village , Proprietors of tanks to re -dig them , if it be considered necessary, or to have the option of #lling up their tanks , if they cannot re-dig them and keep in proper order .

Supernumerary and useless tanks to be filled up, and those not requiring re-digging to be thoroughly cleaned and put in proper order, at least twice every year .

2. It will be seen that Dr. Elliot found whole Villages to have bin depopulated by death and panic, and that the people whom he still found in some of these Villages appeared to be, moro or less, affected with disease and meapable of action. From the turns of mortality in a few large Villages it appears that , out of a population of 1,93,951 , no less than 55,718 had been carried off by this fever, and that in the affected Villages in Nudden 60 per cent. of the population have died .

3. Dr. Elliot attributes the virulence of the epidemic to tank vegetation, unclean water, insufficient drainage , and the absence of ventila- tion, and he anticipates its return with increased Tanks to be dug to the water level in several places , so as to ensure a good supply for some years to come : the water at present contained in thein to be dramed off it bad , as in most instances is the case All excavations , small neglected tanks, and other pools in the vicinity of houses , many of which contain putrid water, to be filled up.

themselves ; and , though no assignment can be made from the ordinary revenues , His Honor is willing -within a limit of Rupees 40,000 - to devote to the purpose of doing what can be done toward off a recurrence of the epidemic, a sum from local funds equal to the aggregate contributions from private sources.

4. IIis Honor is deeply impressed with the necessity of at once adopting active means for improving the condition of the part of the country which has been chiefly subject to this fearful visitation .

5. From peoplo at all times apathetic and ignorant in regard to the employment of sanitary measures as a prevention of disease, and now demoralised and impoverished by the terrible sickness to which they have been exposed, and the mortality which has occurred amongst and around them, little in this respect is to be expect ed, unless they receive substantial aid and encouragement trom other sources , and unless some sort of compulsion is brought to bear upon them . Every one of the sources to which Dr. Elliot , after a careful and intelligent enquiry, has attributed the propagation of the disease, has a tendency to increase if these Villages are left in their present state , and it seems almost certain that the malaria generated in them will gradually spread over the whole neighbouring country .

8. After the repeated expression which the Lieutenant - Governor has received from the British Indian Association of their opinion of the neces- sity of adopting active measures for checking the epidemic , and of the strong conviction they entertain of the urgency of the case, His Honor feels satisfied that the Association will gladly avail themselves of the opportunity now offered to them of affording material assistance to their suffering countrymen . They should , however, recollect that o ly three months remain in which anything can be done before the season of the year arrives in which the epidemic is expected to recur . What is wanted therefore is immediate action and not discussion . It occurs to the Lieutenant-Go- vernor that the best form which this action can take is a guarantee from the Association of a cer- tain amount of contributious ; His Honor thinks it probable that they will be prepared at once to guarantee a sum of Rupees 10,000 as a first instalment . And, in complete assurance of their willingness toco - operate to this extent , an advance of Rupees 10,000 has this day been made to Mr. A. T. Maclean, the Officer who has been entrusted by the Lieutenant-(Governor with the superin- tendence of the measures recommended by Dr. Elliot .

9. The Association will probably find it con- venient to appoint a Committee from amongst their own Members for the purpose of coilecting subscriptions and organizing collections in the interior through Local Committees . It is believed that several of the leading Members of the Asso- ciation possess large Estates in the Districts which have chiefly suffered from the visitation of this fatal epidemic ; and the responsibility of such gentlemen and of all other Zemindars of the Dis- tricts in question, in regard to the supply of funds for the purpose of relieving the distress of the people residing in or near their Estates, cannot be too strongly insisted upon .

6. The remedies suggested by Dr. Elliot and the Inspector- General of the Medical Department are the removal of superabundant and useless trees , shrubs , Iamboo clumps, and plantain groves, from the immediate vicinity of houses ; the pruning and thinning of trees ; the removal of trees and bamboos from the sides of tanks ; the uprooting and burning of low bushy jungle, vegetation, and rank grass , during the present hot season; the deepening and clearing of some of the best tanks in each village , and the filling in of useless tanks , water - courses , and other pools and excavations in the neighbourhood of houses ; the appropriation of particular tanks exclusively for the supply of drinking water ; the construe tion of a few drains and paths in each Village ; the proper ordering of Burial Grounds and Burn- ing Ghats, and general attention to the conser- vancy of the Villages . These are simple and obvious remedies ; and , with only ordinary со- operatian on the part of the Zemindars and the inhabitants them-elves in giving effect to them , the probability of the return of the Fover might be rendered extremely remote . It trams to Ilis Honor that , after the serious lesson which they have now bad , the mere instinct of self pr serva- tion will , with propor and judicious aid and en- couragement , compelcompel the survivors to recognize the inevitable effects which must result if they persist in fostering all the conditions which have from time to time , and in all countries, been proved to be the most powerful predisposing causes of discuse .

10. While he has been instructed to do all he can in the way of advice and exhortation , and to obviate, as far as possible , inconvenience and annoyance to the people , Mr. Maclean has been desired to put in force- wherever it may unfortu- natelybe necessary- the provisions of the Law against those who are guilty of, or persist in , a publie nuisance by any act or omission which causes danger or annoyance to the people who dwell in their vicinity .

forei 11. Dr. Elliot's Report exposes so forcibl the fatal effects of the apathy and indolence of the people of this country in regard to the most simple and sanitary precautions, and he suggests such plain and easy means for improving the con- dition of Villages , that the Lientenant- Governor has considered it expedient to direct its translation into Bengalee for distribution throughom the Provinces subordinate to his flovernment . His Honor intends to direct the particular attention of all Local Officers to the subject , and , cessary, he will have recourse to legislation to enforce a stricter observance of Village conservancy, for Government can no longer permit a state of things to exist under which the want of aud , at it is ne- 7. The Lieutenant-Governor cannot, in com- mon fairness, expend any sum of money from the general re.enues of the State in remedying the condition to which the people of a particular part of the country have reduced themselves by apathy and neglect . But , bearing in mind the helpless state in which the people now are , and the impos ability of their doingat this stage all that is absolutely necessary to repair their past neglect, the Lieutenant -Governor is willing to co - operate with private generosity in an organized system of sanitary relief. With this view the Lieutenant- (Governor has made the services of several Government Otheers available for further ing and guiding the efforts of the people [ 174 ]

MY LORD, With your Military Letter dated 22nd December last , No. 476 , you transmit , for my consideration, applications from Lieutenant- Colonel C. A. Barwell and Brevet - Major T. F. Wilson, C. B. , soliciting that the one year's service granted to the Officers and Soldiers engaged at the defence of Lucknow maybe allowed to count as service towards promotion in the Staff Corps .

No. 28A . of 1863.-- Consequent upon Major- General A. M. Becher, C. B. , Quarter- Master General, and Major H. R. Garden , Assistant Quar- ter -Master General , vacating their present appoint- iments upon the expiry of their term of Staff service on this date, the Right Hon'ble the Go- vernor General is pleased to make the following promotions and appointments:---

2. I agree with the Commander - in - Chief in India and your (Government that the application cannot be complied with . To concede the point would be to give to these Officers an undue advantage .

Colonel J. S. Paton, of the Bengal Staff Corps , Deputy Quarter-Master General , to officiate as Quarter-Master General pending the approval of Her Majesty's Government .

Major P. S. Lumsden , of the Bengal Staff Corps , Bengal Assistant Quarter-Master General, to oficiate as Deputy Quarter -Master General , vice Colonel Paton.

Allgood, of the Bengal Staff Corps , nowofficiating as Commandant , 23rd (Punjab) Infantry, to officiate as Assistant Quar- ter-Master General , to fill vacancies .

3. In reply to the enquiry made by your Government as to the exact benefits derivable by Commissioned Odicurs from the grant of the year's service I have to inform you that , in the case of such Oflicers , the grant was intended only to apply to service for the retiring Pension . 1 observe it is stated , however, in the latter of the Secretary to your Government , Military Dopart- ment, to the Officiating Adjutant - General , dated 15th December 1862 , that in the case of the Civilians engaged in the defence of Lucknow the year's service has been allowed to reckon as service towards Furlough , provided they do not thereby take procedence of their seniors , who may be entitled to, and may desire to take, Furlough .

Lieutenant J May, late 72nd Native Infantry, to be a Deputy Assistant Quarter -Master General to complete the Establishment.

[ 1255 ]

4. I shall not object to the extension of the same privilege to the Military Officers engaged in the defence of Lucknow .

Collection of Aerolites in India for the British Museum.

From J. W. S. WYLLIE , ESQ. , Under - Secretary to the Government of India, Home Department, (No. 2156, dated the 31st March 1863. )

COPY of the following Despatch , and of its enclosures , forwarded to the Governments of Ben- gal and the North - Western Provinces for disposal .

very desirable, with a view to increase and to render as complete as possible the fine collection of Aërolites now in the Museum , that measures should be taken to obtain for that Institution such Aërolites as may in future come into the hands of, or be procurable by , the public function- aries in the British Dominions abroad, and Her Majesty's Representatives in foreign countries . With this object the papers , of which I have the honor to enclose copies , were drawn up, and a large num- ber of them has been

From the RIGHT HON'BLE SIR CHARLES WOOD, BART., M. P. , and G. c . B. , Her Majesty's Secretary of State for India , to His Excellency the Right Hon'ble the Governor General of India in Council , (No. 14, dated London, the 9th February 1863. )

forwarded to the Foreign Office , by direction of the Trustees , to be transmitted to the British Ambassadors , Minis- ters , Consuls , and other official persons in foreign countries . A similur course is about to be taken with regard to the Colonies in general .

I FORWARD, herewith , a copy of a letter from the Trustees of the British Museum, together with its two enclosures, respecting the col . *Dated 23rd Jan- uary 1863. lection of Aërolites which may be procurable in the British Dominions abroad , and I have to re- quest that you will render any assistance that may be practicable to enable the trustees of the Museumto carry out their intentions .

From J. WINTER JONR , Esq. , Deputy Principal Librarian , the RIGHT HON'BLE SIR CHARLES WOOD , BART. , м . and G. c. B. , & c.. &c. , & c., ( dated British Musoum, the 23rd January 1863.)

I am directed to state that in no part of the world of equal extent have more important or more numerous instances occurred of the fall of Acrolites than in the British Possessions in India. The Trustees would, therefore , request of His Excellency the Governor General that he willbe pleased to take such steps as he shall think fit to secure for the British Museum any Aërolites of importance that may be obtainable in Her Majesty's Dominions in India, and I am to ask the favor of your intervention in causing an application to the above effect to be forwarded to His Excellency.

I HAVE the honor to acquaint you that a representation has been submitted to the Trustees of the British Muscum shewing that it wouldbe [ 181 ]

ON THE OBSERVATION AND COLLECTION OF AEROLITES . 18. It is desirable, further, to notice the depth to which , and the direction in which , the Aërolite has penetrated the carth ; also to state the nature of the soil , the effect produced on it by the Aero- litic mass , and the position in which the Aërolite was found to be lying in the ground .

THERE are two varieties of Acrolites or Mete- orites that have been seen to fall from space . The one consists of stony masses , often containing particles of iron , and of these many have been observed in their fall: the other variety'is com- posed, for the most part , of iron . The actual fall of iron Aërolites has been but rarely witnessed , though many masses of metallic iron have been found on the earth's surface , of the meteoricorigin of which there can be no doubt .

The second series of inquiries has for its object the acquisition of a more precise knowledge re- garding the Aërolites themselves . For this it is important to preserve and to collect , for the pur- poses of analysis and of scientific comparison, as many of these bodies as possible ; and the follow- ing suggestions are offered in the hope of promot- anding this object:-

1. Endeavor to get the meteorolites as soon as possible after their fall to prevent them from being injured, fractured, or wetted.

2. If not entire, try to procure fragments.

It is a matter of great interest , and of import- ance to science, that as many as possible of these bodies should be collected for comparison, that all the circumstances accompanying their fall be carefully recorded ; and persons who, in the event of a " fire ball " being seen , or of a mass having fallen in their neighbourhood, will care fully collect facts regarding them , inay make a very valuable contribution to science .

For this purpose inquiries should be instituted at once into the circumstances accompanying the fall of any meteoric mass , and into the state of any such mass when it has fallen ; and, as regards any meteoric appearance in the sky, it will be found advisable, after noting carefully the point in the heavens at which the meteor made its ap- pearance, to give , as accurately as posstole ( see Note), the direction of its track and the point at which it disappeared .

3. Should persons or Museums not be willing to part with them for the British Museum, then procure drawings , photographs , models, or casts , accompanied by an accurate description of their color, their external lustre , and, if broken, the nature of the substance or substances exhibited by the fracture ; and specially be careful to des- cribe the form of the Aerolitic mass , whether angular or rounded, whether prismatic, or other- wise exhibiting an approximation to any geomet- rical figure . Also state whether its surface be smooth or marked by any peculiar kind of rough- ness , or pitted with hollows .

Where it is possible , this track should be delineated on a diagram , as explained in the Note . The poir.ts to which especial attention is invited are enumerated in the following two series of inquiries.

4. Catalogues of the meteorites in local Museums are very desirable, with statements of their weights , and also the time of, and other facts accompanying , their fall, as detailed above .

The first series relates to meteoric phenomena in the heavens, and their association with the fall of Aërolitic matter to the earth .

1. Note the exact position of the observer, ac- cording to latitude and longitude.

2. Give the hour, day of mouth , and year.

3. Give the apparent size of the luminous ball , as compared with the full moon .

5. From masses of iron or stone still lying on the earth, and too large to be brought away , detach specimens of good size, say from 201bs . to 50lbs , weight, and collect all obtainable informa- tion , with detailed descriptions , drawings , measure- ments, historical accounts , & c .

4. Its shape, whether round, pear-shaped , or otherwise ; and if elongated, in what direction . 6. Iron meteorites should always be cut with a steel saw and emery .

5. It is particularly important to note the place where the meteor is first seen (as at A. , sce Note) like a star , and from which , as it moves , it may appear to be increasing in size .

6. State the duration of the phenomena ; and 7. Whether the ball again dwindles away to the semblance of a star and then disappears , or whother it retains to the last its full size, or then , as is often the case , divides into several balls or stars .

8. Give the colors .

The Collection of Acrolites in the Mineral De- partment of the British Museum is now, as re- gards the mass and size of the specimens , the finest in the world, and any person who maymay be in a position to contribute additional specimens 18 requested to accompany them with an attestation as to the weight of the specimen , and facts regard- ing it such as the senders may be in a position to state on their own authority, or as may have come to them on authority which they have reason to accept as reliable.

NEVIL STORY - MASKELYNE .

9. Record any facts that can be gathered con- cerning detonations or noises accompanying the other phenomena .

10. Endeavor to collect statements relating to the actual fall to the earth of any solid bodies . 11. Do they consist of stone or iron , and is there anything peculiar in their structure ?

NOTE . The delineation of the track of the meteor on paper is very desirable, as presenting greater accuracy than a merely verbal description . A practical and simple method of doing this con- sists in noting down the tracks of meteors "fire balls" upon a projection like the or

12. Was the body red - hot or warım , or did it exhibit evidence of having been warm outside and cold within ? as , for instance , by being hot at first, and intensely cold afterwards ?

ST. BARBE . This island is well described in Iloisburgh and requires no further remark here . We made the highest hill on the N. E. end to be in Lat. 0. 8' 6," Long . 107-18' 32" E. , and the height 762 feet . The height of the hill on the south end is 684 feet .

There is little doubt , but this is , the rock seen by Mr. Robert Loncy, R. N. , when in coramand of the Rose Ellis, and marked in the Admiralty Charts as Rose Ellis . The rock is so far from the islands that the least error of bearing , either in the compass or in the observation , would cause the discrepancy in its position as given by Captains Rodger and Loney .

DIRECTION ISLAND . The apex in Lat 0. 14' 30 " , Long . 108 2' E. , is 639 feet high . In Horsburgh this island is stated tobe larger than St. Barbe, but it is, in fact, only one - third of its size. The description in other respects is good .

WELSTRAD SHOAL. The position of this danger is very accurately given in Horsburgh . From unfavorable weather we were only able to obtain a single observation, this made the Lat. to be 032' 27 " Ν. The Long 107. 53 " E. was obtained by true bearings to Direction island and Tambelanpeak .

EUROPE SHOAL. Was found to extend about a. mile in a N. by E. and S. by W. direction , the shoalest patch being in about the middle of the line, and having three fathoms on it at low water spring tides . Horsburgh gives two fathoms, but we could not find less than three, and all our boats were sounding over it several hours . South- wards of the three fathom patch the shoal extends to the westward nearly three quarters of a mile , having from six to ten fathoms over this part of All round the shoat there is from eighteen to twenty - five fathoms water.

The rocks extend half a mile in an E. N. E. and W. S. W. direction , their breadth being about a cable's length . They consist of a number of pinnacles, with depths varying from seven to three fathon's .

We made the position of the three fathoms patch to be as follows :-Lat. 1. 11' 19 " Ν. Long . 10725 ' 27 " Ε .

PULO DATTOO . We made the Peak in Lat . 0 7' 88," Long . 108 35. 50 E., and its height to be 1,042 fect . It is correctly descubed in Horsburgh , os are also the islands betwist Mampava and Sambas , &c .

WHITE ROCK.- About 80 feet high , lies E. S. E. fiom Pulo Jarrang the S. E. island of the Tam- belans . On its S. W. side are two sinall pinnacle rocks about twelve feet above ligh water . Ves- sels should not make too free with this rock as shoal water extends from it between the N. W. and S. W. bearings to a distance of two cables .

ST. ESPRIT ISLANDS .-The heighest part of the largest island of this group is in Lat . 037' 31 " N.. Long . 407 0' 50 " E. , and the height 817 feet . The group is correctly described in Horsburgh , and it is only necessary to remark here that veseels shouldbe cautious when passing through them, as we tounl a coral patch of three fathoins between the Brace islands and the island neat west of them.

HOWQUA SHOAL - Is a doubtful danger which apears on the last Admnalty Chart.S. by W.

CONSTANCE SHOAL-In the latest Admiralty Charts there is a danger marked " Constance ?" and laid down about one mile and three quarters south of large Jarrung . The Rifleman was steam- ing a whole day about its position without it being discovered . Beyondbeing marked in the [ 1333 ]

Chart we are not furnished with any particulars , and, moreover, the shoal being marked as doubt- ful in itself, and not as of doubtful position merely, we are induced not to believe in its exis- tence.

ACASTA ROCK . Lies N. by W. 4 miles from Victory island . It is just under the surface of the water and in calm weather presents exactly the appearence described in Horsburgh ,- " the central part of a very brown color , declining to a pale green around. " The least swellbreaks on it .

DOUBTFUL REEF .-Of Horsburgh does not appear on the Admiralty Charts ; and we saw nothing of such a danger when near its position .

BARREN ROCK.-E. by S. & S. 7 miles from Victory island , in Lat. 1. 31' 50 " N. , Long . 106- 25' 35" E. , is a whitish rock 50 feet high, about a cable's length in size, with deep water all round it .

Acoral shoal , however, was found to lie off the S. W. end of little Jarrang, the shoalest part of which with three fathoins or it bears N 68. W. nine-tenths of a mile from the S. W. end of that island . From this patch, which is its western extreme, it extends about S. E. by E. three quar- ters of a mile , with depths over it varying from. four to nine fatlioms . This , probably, is the Cons: tance shoal .

Tambelan highest peak on with the right ex- treme of Harbour the island clearsit half a mile to the westward, and white rock on with the right extreme of large Jarrang leads over mine fathoms on the S. E. end of it. White rock kept well open of the right extreme of large Jarrang clears the danger to the southward .

There are seventcen to twenty fathoms between this shoal and little Jarrang .

TIDES, WEATHER, & C -As we are constantly shiftung our surveying ground we had no good opportunity for obtaining a series of tide obser- vations . Such as we were able to procure were so irregular that no general conclusion could be formed from them . We obs' rved , however , during the S. W. Monsoon from the middle of July to the middle of September ; and also in the month of December during the N. B. Monsoon ; that Tides set to windward every day against the pre- vailing current , although they were uncertain as to commencement and time of duration.

Several other shoal patches and dangers were found near the Tambelaus , but they lie out of the track of ordinary Navigators ; and which a glance at the Chart will give a better idea of than along account here .

The weather was very fine and the winds gene- rally light . Ships would frequently shorten their passages through this part of the China Sea if they kept a kedge ready to let go during light airs and calms , and when both current and tide would otherwise be setting them back over the ground they had with difficulty gained . We saw several vessels set back in this way .

ROCKY ISLANDS. Situated N. 54 W. 12 miles from the channel between Pulo Way and Outer island of the Tambelen group are merely two barren rocks, the resort of seabirds . They are bold, close to and occupy a space of about two cables in extent. The northern and larger one, 134 feet in height, is in Lat. 1.11' 9" N., Long . 107-13 ' Ε .

CONCLUDING REMARKS . All the above islands ,- like most others in the tropics , are covered with a dense vegetation, and have generally white sandy beaches upon which Turtle and the Iguana may frequently be found .

The islands of the St. Esprit group and others are occasionally visited by small parties of Malays for the purpose of catching Turtle .

GAP ROCK.-North eleven miles from the East- ern extreme of the Tambelans in Lat . 1. 12' 30 " N. , and Long. 107-31' 30" E., is very remarkable , consisting of two large boulders lying upon a flat rock . The larger of these boulders is 124 feet above the water. There is no small rock to the eastward of it as mentioned in Horsburgh, but a shoal extends about two cables from its south side .

The only islands permanently inhabited are those of the Tambelan group , all of which have a few Malays upon them . The village in the bay of the great Tambelan contains about five hundred inhabitants , but vesels cannot get any supplies there . We found the greatest di liculty in procur- ing a few fowls , & c. , for our use while employed on the Survey.

ST. JULIAN . N. 44 W. 24 miles from the large island of the St. Esprit group in Lat . 0.55' 40" N. , Long. 106. 43' 30 " E. , is a remark able island being nearly a mile long and only a cable's length broad. It is low in the centre rising to a hill '537 feet high on the north end, and to one 318 feet high on the south end . The hill on the north end forms an exceedingly bold cliff to seaward. We found deep water close to on all sides .

CIVIL PROCEDURE , &C . ( BRITISH BURMAH) ACT

were no Courts of the 2nd and 3rd grades , though suits , cognizable by Courts of those two grades , occasionally arose within the limits of the Town , for the adjudication of which some pro- vision was required . In the absence of work sufficient to justify the establishment of Courts of all the grades specified in Act I of 1863 the best course appeared to be to vest some of the existing Courts of the higher grades with power to receive and determine suits arising within the limits of their respective jurisdictions, which, from the amount of value of the claim , as well as in other respects , were within the cognizance of Courts of a lower grade . This could not , however , be done without an alteration of the law , and the first part of the present Bill contained the neces- sary amendment . It was not proposed to confine the operation of this part of the Bill to Rangoon , though the necessity for legislation had arisen there, but to make the provisions of the Bill generally applicable. Then , Section I of Act I of 1863 repealed the Code called the Civil Code of the Province of Pegu , and a later Section extended to that Province , from the 1st May 1868 , with certain modifications , the Code of Civil Procedure contained in Act VIII of 1859, which was in force in the remaining parts of British Burmah .

AMENDMENT .

It now appeared from the letter of the Chief Commissioner already referred to that the Chief Commissioner had, in the month of May last, ex- tended the Code of Civil Procedure, with some re- servations to the Province of Pegu , in superses- sion of the Pegu Code, which he had no authority to do . The Pegu Code did not differ very mate- amend.rially from the Code of Civil Procedure, and cer- tainly no suitor could have a right to complain of injustice having been done to him by reason of his , suit having been tried under the latter instead of the forner Code . But the fact of the illegal ex- tension of the Civil Procedure Code remamed. This illegality might be pleaded by any disappoint- thereed suitor in appeal from an order or decision The Hon'ble MR . HARINGTON moved for leave to introduce a Bill to amend Act I of 1863 ( to dofine the jurisdiction , and to regulate the pro- cedure of the Courts of Civil Judicature in British Burmah, and to provide for the extension of cer- tam Acts to the said Territory) . He said that , in the month of January last , the Couneil passed the Act which it was now proposed to The second Section of the Act declared that there should be six grades of Courts in British Burmah , and gave their designations . Scotions followed defining the jurisdiction tobe excrcised by the Courts of each of the six grades . From a recent letter of the Chist Commissioner of British Burnah it appeared that in the Town of Rangoon [ 190 ]

passed against him under the Civil Procedure Code, and the Court having to dispose of the plea would find it difficult to over-rule it . In order , therefore, to prevent what would reallybe a trifling with justice , the second part of the present Bill pro - posed to make valid the act of the Chief Com- missioner by declaring that no order or decision passed , and no proceeding held by any Court in the Province of Pegu on omalter the 20th day of May 1862 , and before the 1st day of May 1863 , should be deemed invalid merely by reason of such order or decision having been passed , or of such proceeding having been held under Ac VIII of 1859 , instead of under the Code called the Civil Code of the Province of Pegu, or vice versa .

time, as occasion rendered necessary, to order the transfer of Convicts from the one Prison to the other ; and the third was to legalize what had recently been done , without any strict legal autho- rity, but under pressure of undoubted necessity, in transferring Prisoners from the House of Correction to the Great Jail . As the matter was urgent , and as the policy of the measure seemed to have been acquiesced in by the Council in pass- ing the analogous law for Bombay , he ( Mr. Maine) , if leave were now granted to bring in the Bill , proposed at the next Meeting of the Council to apply to the President for a suspension of the Rules , and under their suspension to move that the Bill be made at once into law .

The Motion was put and agreed to .

The Motion was put and agreed to.

IMPRISONMENT OF CONVICTS IN THE CALCUTTA HOUSE OF CORRECTION , & C .

FINANCES OF INDIA .

CUSTOMS DUTIES AND INCOME TAX.

The Hon'ble SIR CHARLES TREVELYAN moved for leave to introduce a Bill to amend Act XI of 1862, (to amend Act X of 1860 , to amend Act VII of 1859 , to alter the Duties of Customs on goods imported or exported by Sea) ; and also for leave to introduce a Bill further to amend Act XXXII of 1860 ( for imposing Duties on Profits arising from Property , Professions , Trades , and Offices) , and to amend Act XXXIX of 1880 (to amend Act XXXII of 1860 ) , and Act XVI of 1862 (to limit in certain cases the amount of assess- ment to the Duties chargeable after the 31st day of July 1862 , under Act XXXII of 1860 and Act XXXIX of 1860 , and otherwise to modify the said Acts. ) He said:-

MR . LAING estimated that there would be a surplus in the year 1861-62 of £239,896 . The Secretary of State was of opinion that two sums had been improperly omitted from the charge side of the Account, by the insertion of which the surplus was converted into a deficit of £595,513 . The actual result is that there was a deficit of £ 150,625 only, which , we may hope, is the last of the long series of Indian deficits .

The Financial year 1862-63 opens a new era . Mr. Laing estimated that there would be a sur- plus at the end of the year of £ 179,814 . The Secretary of State again objected that certain omissions and deductions had been made, by the correction of which the estimated surplus of £ 179,811 was converted into a deficit of £ 284,086 . The result is that , after providing for the whole of the Expenditure, there is a clear surplus on the current year 1862-63 , which terminates this day , of £697,168 according to the Regular Estimate, which has since been increased ,by reductions in the Home Charges and Guaranteed Interest, to

£936,925 . I will now explain how the Revenue of 1862-63 has turned out, as shewn in the Regular Estimate , compared with the Budget Estimate of that year and with the actual Receipts of 1861-62.

The Hon'ble Mr. Matve moved for leave to introduce a Bill to empower Judges of the High Court and other Authorities at Culcuttato direct Convicts tobe imprisoned either in the House of Correction or the Great Jail ; andto authorize the transfer of Convicts from the House of Cor- rection to the Great Jail , aud from the Great Jail to the House of Correction . He said that shortly before the last adjournment of the Council a Bill with a similar title , but applying only to Bombay, was passed. That Bill was necessary in order to remove an inconvenience which had been created by Act XVIII of 1862 , which provided , amongst other things, that Prisoners sentenced to rigorous imprisonment by the Supreme Courts , or by the Magistrates of the Presidency Towns , should be imprisoned in the House of Correction only. Soon after Açt XVIII of 1862 came into force in Bombay it was found that the House of Correc- tion could not contain all the Prisoners sentenced to imprisonment in it , and consequently a Bill giving the Judges and Magistrates power to sen- tence either to the House of Correction or to the Common Jail was introduced into the Bombay Council . The measure was , however , in excess of the Legislative powers of the Bombay Government, as involving the amend inent of an Act passed by the Imperial Council since 1861; but it was immediately re - introduced into this Council and passed at once into law . Now, then, precisely the same circumstances which necessitated the Bombay Act had arisen in the Government of Bengal . The Judges and Magis- trates having only power to imprison in the House of Correction that place of confinement hadbe- coine inconveniently crowded ; so crowded , that there had been much reason to apprehend an out- break of infectious disease . Considering the urgency of the case the Lieutenant- Governor of Bengal, on his own responsibility , directed the transfer of some of the Prisoners to the Great Jail, where there was ample room for their accom- modation . The Lieutenant- Governor desired that what he did should be confirmed and rendered legal by this Council , and moreover that the power of transferring Prisoners from the one Prison to the other , whenever occasion arose , should be given to him by law . The Bill contained three provisions: the first was to give the Judges of the High Court and Police Magistrates for the Town of Calcutta power to direct the imprison- ment of Convicts either in the House of Correc tion or the Great Jail ; the second was to authorize

" Land , Sayer , and Abkaree " shew improve- ment of £ 301,000 over the Budget Estimate, and a decline of $39,555 compared with the actual Receipts of 1861-62 . This last, however, is not a fair comparison, for in 1861-62 there was a the Lieutenant -Governor of Bengal, from time to [ 191 ]

Revenue is habitually under-estimated . The growth is so rapid as to outstrip every calculation which it is considered safe to make .

Excluding Opium the remaining branches of Revenue yielded £ 584,500 more than the Budget Estimate, and £214,503 less than in 1861-62 . This was chiefly owing to the falling off that has been noticed in Customs and Stamps .

double Receipt , arising from the adoption , for the first time, of the salutary Financial rule of carrying to account all the Receipts of the year as Revenue of the year instead of holding payments in ad- vance in deposit until the next year , and there was also a much larger sum obtained from the sale of Khas Mehals in 1861-62 than in 1862-63 . When these allowances are made , the year 1862-63 shews an increase of £646,423 under Land , Sayer, and Abkaree compared with 1861-62 .

" Income Tax" has exceeded the Budget Estimate by £ 206,700 , which is due partly to the fact that there has been a large collection of arrears of the 2 per cent . rate, which was repealed from the 1st ofAugust last, and partly to a better management of the assesment .

Thefirst point deserving of notice in the expen- diture of 1862-63 is that the charges connected with the Salt Revenue have been less by £ 169,100 than the Estimate , and by £90,431 than the expense actually incurred in the preceding year . These are the first- fruits of the contraction of the Government Salt Manufacture in Bengal . There was a saving of £ 175,000 in consequence of the abolition of one Government Agency, and of the consolidation of two other Agencies into one.

The increase under " Electric Telegraph" from £ 162,600 to £380,000 is only nominal . It arises from the value of stores expected from England having been included only in the later account , and from the transfer from Public Works of the construction charges .

"Customs" shew a falling off of £87,500 com- pared with the Budget Estimate , and of £188,639 compared with the actual Receipts of the preced- ing year . This is caused by the paralysed state of the trade with England in Cotton Piece Goods and Yarus, which yields half our Custom Duties exclusive of Salt . Out of a total amount of Duty of £2,151,505 received in 1860-61 ( excluding Salt) £ 1,103,401 was for Piece Goods and Yarus . " The Army" shews an increase of £ 266,000 arising from too sanguine a view having been taken of the rapidity with which certain Military reduc- tions would be made .

"Salt," on the other hand, shews 'an increase of £282,800 over the Budget Estimate, and of £2,774,419 over the actual Receipts of 1861-62 . As this is an article of general consumption , and the price of the commoner kinds is not liable to much variation , the effective demand for it is a good test of the circumstances of the community .

Of the £500,000 for " Education, Science, and Art" £ 100,000 remains unexpended . The sum of £ 146,453 was added to the Regular Estimate of the preceding year to make the grant up to £500,000 ; but, as the Local Administrations were not prepared for so large an immediate extension of their operations , the money has not been spent.

The increase of £ 43,700 under " Superannua- tions" is one of the consequences of reduction of Establishments ; and the increase of £ 12,900 under " Interest " arises from the interest on the loan from the Maharaja of Cashmere, and on the sum funded for the Mysore Princes having been included under this head .

The " Receipts from Opiuni" have surpassed the Estimate by £ 1,550,000 . Even this is not all , for the last Opium sale of the year has since taken place, and the total Receipts from all sources are expected to exceed £ 5,000,000 , which will raise the surplus over the Estimate to upwards of £ 1,700,000. The causes of this remarkable result are, that the price of Bengal Opium was estimated at Rupees 1,200 a chest, while the average price per chest actually realised has been Rupees 1,429 , and that Passes were taken out for a larger number of chests of Malwa Opium than had been expected . The Receipts from Opium in 1861-62 were £6,359,269 .

of The total expenditure in India in 1862-63 is £ 37,228,900 against an estimated sum £36.329,400 ; but to this last must be added £366,300 for loss by exchange, which was not provided for, and the real comparison therefore stands as follows :-

Add loss by Exchange ... 366,300

£ 36,695,700 , 37,228,900

Regular Estimate

Excess of Expenditure over the Bud-

get Estimate £ 533,200 " Stamps " are £317,100 below the Estimate, and £160,317 below the sum realized in 1861-62. The amount received from Stamps in 1861-62 was abnormally large . It arose from the Limitation Act , which came into operation in January 1862 . There was a great rush to get cases instituted previously to that date , and many Debtors who were unable at the time to pay gave fresh bonds on stamped paper admitting the justice of their Cre- ditors' claims . The Indigo and Rent disputes in 1861-62 also contributed not a little to the Stamp Revenue. In the Punjab and Oudh fees called " Tulubana" for serving processes in the Civil Courts were charged at so much per cent . on the amount of the suit . Those were subsequently paid in Stamps ; but early in 1502 the plan of paying in cash was resumed, and the surplus is carried to BLocal Fund for the improvement of the Judicial

The total Expenditute in India in 1861-62 was £ 37,245,756 , and there is, therefore , a decrease of Expenditure in 1862-63, compared with the pre- ceding year , of £ 16,856 . These results are satis- factory inasmuch as they shew improved accuracy in estimating the Expenditure and the absence of any increase in it .

The other branches of Revenue call for no remark.

The net Expenditure in England is £5,292,397, which is less than Mr. Laing's Estimate corrected by the additions which Sir C. Wood directed to be made to it (making a total sum of 25,491,432) by £ 199,035 . This arises from reduced Expenditure at Home .

The total gross Revenue of 1862-63 is £45,105,700 , which is 22,134,500 more than the Budget Estimate , and 21,276,228 more than the actual Receipts of 1561-62. It is a favorable indication of the progress of India that the [ 192 ]

graph constructions , which were included in the grant for Public Works in 1862-63 , have been provided for in the Departmental Estimates in 1863-64to the amount of £ 183,400 . The total sum appropriated for Public Works in 1868-64 , therefore, amounts to £5,237,200 , and , including Guaranteed Railways , to £ 9,237,200 .

" Salaries and Expenses of Public Departments" shew a diminution of £ 22,600 , and " Law and Justice" an increase of £ 154,700 . This arises from the pains that have been taken to keep the ordinary Civil Establishments within proper limits , and the disposition which exists to make every necessary addition to the Judicial Establishments . The consolidation of the Supreme and Sudder Courts into united High Courts has caused a considerable additional expense .

In order that the Local Governments may work on confidently from year to year , following out consistent plans, maintaining Establishments in proper proportion to the work to be done , and preserving satisfactory relations with Contractors , it is necessary that the appropriations should not only he large but steady, or in other words that they should vary as little as possible from year to year. At the same time it is desirable that means should exist of supplementing local deficiencies and of accelerating any Works the early completion of which is of special public importance. Both those ends will be attained by the arraarrangement pro- posed.

The appropriation for Civil Buildings and ordi- nary Repairs and other Military Works willbe the same as last year , that is, £570,000 for the former, and £ 650,000 for the latter .

The total estimated charge for " Police" is £2,280,000 , being an increase over this year of £180,000 . This arises from the extension of the new Police to Bengal Proper , which was the last Province remaining to be brought under the new system . The transition period is always an ex- pensive one, and this was especially the case in Bengal , where twelve Police Battalions and the old Thannadaree Police had to be put down, while the Constabulary Police, which was to supersede them both, was being set up . As the large reduction of the Native Army has The sum assigned this year for building new Barracks was £50,000 ; but a necessity exists for constructing permanent Barracks for our European Troops at central strategio Stations which are certain to be permanently held , and it is proposed to appropriate £ 300,000 to this object during the ensuing year. This also will be held in hand by the Central Government to be allotted as circum- stances may require , according to arrangements which have been carefully considered .

The charge for " Railway Supervision and cost of Land" inin 1862-63 was £ 132,500 , and in 1863-64 it is estimated at £ 182,500 ; and the loss byRailway Exchange in the two years is respec tively £366,300 , and £294,600 .

Lastly, another sum of £380,000 from the proceeds of the Income Tax will be divided among the different Governments and Adminis- trations for the purpose of carrying on Local Works .

been rendered possible by the extent to which the Civil duties previously performed by it have been transferred to the new Police, the two must be viewed in relation to each other . I agree with those who are of opinion that, with proper economy, £12,000,000 may be taken as the standard of the expense to be incurred in India for the Military Force of all Arms even supposing it to be maintained at its present Establishment, and that £2,000,000 is a sufficient allowance for the Police. In order to keep the Expenditure within due limits it is indispensably necessary that there should be only one Military and one Civil Force. The permission to employ " Guards " or any other protective Force not included in the Army or in the origanized Police would at once give scope to the former practice of making discretionary miscella- neous charges . Efficiency , as usual , goes hand in hand with economy. It can be secured only by concentrating attention on the Military and Police Forces , dealing with each according to its special conditions .

The new Indian Police is now in a state to be effectually acted upon by a searching revision . At the commencement of such an organisation the Officers employed do not know what their real re- quirements are ; and if the Establishments first set up are permitted to go on long without scrutiny, the difficulty of bringing them back to a just standard is much increased . Colonel Bruce , who has already acquired much valuable experience, will be employed during the ensuing year as Commis- sioner for investigating and reporting upon the Police Forces of Northern India in concert with the Inspector-General of each Force and such other Officers as may be appointed for the pur- pose by the Local Governments .

The aggregate amount of all these grants for Public Works for 1863-64 is £4,995,100 , which is an increase upon the corresponding grants of this year of £466,300 . Judging from past expe- rience it is very unlikely that the whole of this Unlikely sum willbe spent within the year, and , excepting only the appropriated one per cent . from the Income Tax, savings from any part of this large grant will be available to supplement any other part . In the extremely improbable event of the whole being spent and more being wanted , we have a a surplus in Reserve derived from an outside Esti- mate of Expenditure and an inside Estimate of Revenue , which may be drawn upon to any extent required. This Government desires that it may beclearly understood that any funds that can be expended with advantage on Cotton Roads, on Works of Irrigation or Navigation, or on any other useful Works will be granted during the ensuing year . There will be no difficulty as far as money is concerned. The only limit will be the impossibility, in particular cases , of getting value for the outlay.

Besides the preceding grants an old Local Fund balance amounting to £58,700, which had long been due to the Government of Bengal , has been appropriated to the construction of Railway Feeders , the plans and estimates of which had been previously prepared . Post Office and Tele-

Although the assignment for " Education, Science, and Art" is £38,400 less than the Bud- get Estimate for this year, it is 461,600 more than the sum likely to be expended according to the Regular Estimate . Even so, it bears no proportion to the magnitude of the object . But National Education is not merely an affair of [ 194 ]

proper to invest up to the present time is only one Million .

The third is the surplus of the Cash Balances beyond the amount required to carry on the Ex- penditure . I shall return to this point when have speak of the Estimate of Cash Balances for the ensuing year . One Million Sterling has been lately applied from the surplus of the Cash Balances in the extinction of Debt held in this country , and three Millions have been remitted to the Secretary of State , over and above what was wanted to meet the Home Expenditure , to enable him to operate upon some portion of the Indian Debt held in England .

Neither of these three Sinking Funds is direct- ly derived from the produce of taxation . To im- pose, or continue taxes to pay off debt, is a mea- sure of doubtful policy; but when , from any cause, Capital accumulates beyond what is required for current purposes , instead of spending it as in- come, it ought to be employed in extinguishing Debt in order that there may be no diminution of the Capital stock of the community .

As investments made from the Waste Lands Fund and the surplus Cash Balances result in a final extinction of Deht , the Interest saved will appear in the Estimates and Accounts in the form of a diminished charge . The investments from the Currency Deposits, on the other hand, are held in trust to meet a possible, but extremely improbable, demand for the payment of Government Notes ; and the sum annually received for Interest from this source will , therefore, be credited as Revenue , leaving the principal available for re-sale if neces sary .

money -grants . To deserve the name it must be supported by the contributions and co -operation of the communities concerned . What is chiefly to be desired , therefore, is a natural growth and interior expansion according to the circumstances of each Province .Province . object is not uniformity, but progress and efficiency ; and there may be virtue even in variety, because more is likely to be accomplished, on the whole, when each Govern ment is left to follow the bent of its own wants and inclinations , and because there is a positive advantage in the experiment being tried in different ways . The different Local Governments by which the administration of India is carried on have a great detal to learn from each other . An elaborate system for the education of the Upper andMiddle Classes has been sucessfully worked out in Bengal, while in the North - West Provinces and Madras much progress has been made in laying the foundation of a really popular system . Large Local Funds are already expended on Edu- cation, and the school fees and other incidental receipts arising out of the application of the grant are similarly appropriated. The duty of the Central GovernmentGovernment is to be ready to sustain and encourage every well- directed effort to promote the education of the body of the people in every part of India, and liberal grants will , I trust, never be wanting to supplement in due proportion the Funds locally raised . If, in the course of next year, any well considered plans are brought for ward which cannot be provided for from the grant of the year , a further appropriation will be made out of the savings of other grants,other grants , if there should be any, and, if not, out of the general surplus of

Income over Expenditure. There is an increase under " Political Agencies and other Foreign Services" of £ 25,200 over this year, which is chiefly occasioned by the presents to be given during the Governor General's tour .

Under " Superannuation and Retired Allow- ances " an additional sum of £7,500 has been taken to provide for the increased demands for compensation likely to arise from the extensive reductions in progress .

The total estimated Expenditure in India for 1863-64 is £ 37,525,300 , which is £296,400 more than the Regular Estimate for 1802-63, and £279,544 more than the Actual Expenditure for 1861-62 . The Estimate for 1863-64 exceeds the Estimate for 1862-63 by a larger amount, but the true comparison is, not with the expectation which the Budget Estimate of 1862-63 held out, but with the near approximation to actual fact afforded by the Regular Estimate of the same year . The increased expenditure in 1863-64 is caused by additional appropriations for Public Works, the greater part of which are of the nature of a high- ly re -productive investment . In other respects the Itwill be seen with satisfaction that the charge for Interest on the debt, after increasing for several years, has received its first check , and will be less next year than this by £77,000 , while there is an increase of £50,000 in the Receipts on account of Interest .

Expenditure has been kept below its previous level . I shall now review the estimated Revenue of 1863-64 .

ThisGovernment has the advantage of having three real Sinking Funds .

The first of these is the proceeds of the sale of Waste Lands and of the redemption of fixed Rent -charges,both of which , according to the instructions of the Secretary of State, are to be applied to the payment of Debt. As the same principle is applicable to all sums derived from the sale of real property yielding , or capable of yield- ing Revenue, the Local Financial Officers have been directed to make Returns of the sums avail- able for investment on this comprehensive footing . No investments have yet been made from this Fund.

The second is the sum authorized to be invested in Government Securities from the Coin and Bullion received for Notes within the limit of the smallest amount which experience has proved to be necessary for the monetary transactions of the country. That limit has been fixed for the pre- sent, by Act XIX of 1861 , at four Millions Sterling; but the sum which it has been considered

" Land Revenue" is taken at £ 19,384,500 , or £45,500 less than the sum expected to be realized in the current year. It talls short by a much larger sum of the amount credited in 1861-62 ; but it has been already explained that there were incidental Receipts in that year , the greater part of which cannot recur. The Estimates for the Land Re- venue are made by the different Local Govern- ments long before the end of the preceding year, with a liberal allowance for a possible failure of the harvest ; and the consequence is that, as the harvest never fails in the same season all over India, the Estimates are almost always under the mark . For this reason alone I am persuaded that the Estimate for 1863-64 is a very moderato one . There are , however, still more potent causes . The high prices of agricultural produce strongly sti- mulato the extension of cultivation, which is at- tended in the Madras and Bombay Presidencies and some other quartors with a direct proportionate increase of the Land Revenue .

year becomes better understood . This operation is the foundation of our Financial , and has a vory important bearing upon the efficiency of our Administrative system.

The other great work of Peace, for which this interval of tranquillity should be utilised to the utmost, is the construction of necessary Civil and Military Buildings , and the formation of Roads , Railways , Canals , and other means of assisting the productive powers of the country . In respect to some of these the active agency of the Government is indispensable ; but as regards the great bulk of Reproductive Works , it is im- portant for all concerned that our real position should be understood.

With this view arrangements have been made for a thorough revision of all the Public Establish ments on the plan of that which has been in con- tinual progress at home since Sir James Graham commenced his reforms at the Admiralty more than thirty years ago . For some of the more critical investigations two of the ablest Financial Officers of Her Majesty's Government will be united with the best man whom the Indian De partment actually under revision can produce . In other cases the re-moulding will be effected by carefully selected Indian Officers only. The ob- ject will be, not economy in the vulgar sense, but the attainment of the highest degree of efficiency, which is alone consistent with true economy. To get rid of unnecessary processes , to ascertain the number and description of persons really required for the effective transaction of business, and to determine the best classification and scale of re- muneration, is the end proposed . Moderate Es tablisments well worked and well paid are indis . pensable to a healthy state of the Public Service .

The primary business of Government is to protect life and property and to enable all classes of persons to pursne their respective industries and enterprises without molestation , and with as little burden of taxation as possible, and the time and strength of the Government and its Officers are severely taxed to perform even this indispen- sableable duty in a tolerably efficient manner.

In the present condition of the Public Service in India a searching revision on these principles must be productive of the happiest results. Although we have been overtaken by a demand for labor which requires that every available man should be restor- ed to production, the practice in most Depart- ments still is to have a multitude of unprofitable , ill-paid, subordinate Native servants who pray upon the public without yielding any adequate service in return . As their wages were fixed when the expenses of living were not half what they now are, they have the same excuse for abuse of power as the English Civilians had before Lord Clive's reforms . Increase of pay must, therefore, go hand in hand with diminution of numbers, and proper securities must be taken for the admission only of well qualified persons into the Public Service. The inadequacy of the pay of the subordinate Judicial Establishments has long been a public scandal, and it is highly to the honor of the respectable class who fill these ap- pointments that there have not been more instances of malversation . At the same time so many new Judicial and Magistorial arrangements have been made of late years on different principles , that a re - cast of the existing heterogeneous Establish ments, especially in Bengal Proper, is indispen- sable for the purpose of restoring harmonious action, and the result will , by no means , be always an increase of Expenditure .

To conduct all the undertakings which are required to support the industry of a country forms no part of the functions of the Government . This rather belongs to the Society itself, acting through various modifications of the principle of association . In England, which is far ahead of all the world in this respect, the Government has nothing to do with the matter. In Ireland the practice was to depend upon the " Castle" for everything ; and when the system of Grants, either avowedly made as such , or disguised under the name of Loans , led to serious abuse , the " the Board of Works" was instituted , from the scientific, systematic action of which overything was expected . Then came that terrible teacher, the Famino . Ireland threw herself without re- serves upon the Board of Works , which was sup- portedby all the money and all the agency which England could furnish ; and, when it all broko down, people began at last to perceive that the task was beyond the strength of any Government , and that nothing short of the united efforts of the whole Society , of which the Government was only the organ and representative, would suffice. Since that the " Castle" and the " Board of Works" have been allowed to contract within their proper spheres , and, under a system of awakened private industry and enterprise, Ireland has begun to blossom like the rose, and to be a source of strength and credit to England, instead of being her greatest " difficulty."

This is a true illustration of our present position in India. In the absence ofall private enterprise the Government undertook to do what it could; and , although its hands were overburdened , they were not " terpid." This first era of Anglo- Indian Public Works hashas been illustrated by thethe genius of Arthur Cotton and Proby Cautley , and by the self- denying exertions and well- directed talent of many other Officers less known to fame. Public opinion, however , soon became painfully sensible of the insufficiency of these means to the end proposed; but , being still possessed with the notion of the unlimited nature. of Government resources , a clamour arose, both in India and England, against the " Department of Public Works ," as before in Ireland against the " Board ofPublic Works . " Have we still to learn that to furnish a worthy industrial outfit for such a country as India is beyond the power of any After the Public Establishments have been thus re- adjusted the further modifications which the change of circumstances will from time to time require should be made on a consideration of the anuual Budget Estimates . The value of this periodical Review, in the opportunity it affords of pruning excesses , supplying deficiencies , and adapting the public expenditure to the actual exigencies of the Public Service, is incalculable ; but the " Budget system, " as it is here called, is an instrument of portentous power ; and when it is neglected and left in the hands of interested subordinates , it is capable of fearful abuse. Painful symptoms of this have appeared in a few of the Estimates which it has been my duty to review , while in other cases they have been prepared with as much fidelity and exactness as the best of our English Estimates . These inequalities will, no doubt ,be corrected as the great importance of the operation by which the public Expenditure is fixed for the ensuing [ 202 ]

1. WITH reference to the Order of Government of the 5th March 1863, No. 471 , and the Despatch from the Right Hon'ble Sir Charles Wood , dated 16th January 1863, No. 2, I have the honor to forward, for transmission to Her Majesty's Secre- tary of State for India, specimens of Cinchona bark and wood , also dried leaves , decoction and infusion made from the same (as per List annexed ) , in order that they may be submitted to Mr. Howard for analysis and report . The specimens embrace the bark in all stages of growth from one month up to fifteen, and it is possible they may enable that eminent Chemist to trace the carliest stage in which Alkaloids beginto form, and thus throw much light upon the practical advantage or otherwise likely to be derived from our proposed system of lopping and pruning .

Depy. Qr.-Mr.Genl .

To the Surgeon Superintendent, Hospiten Bentinck "}

2. The barks were, in the first instance , driod upon warm iron plates, the process of drying being completed by exposure to the sun. During a portion of the time the barks were exposed to the sun the atmosphere was very dry, indicating as much as 10. Fahr, between the wet and dry bull Thermometer [ 205 ]

3. The leaves in specimen No. 8 were dried in the sun under the same circumstances as the bark, while the leaves of specimen No. 9 were dried in the shade , and as they seem to have retained more of their virtue , it occurs to me that the bark should also have been dried in the shade , and I would respectfully solicit Mr. Howard's opinion on this point .

6. When the branch or stem of a Cinchona tree is covered with moss for a few months the bark increases rapidly in thickness , and conse- quently in weight , the lower portion of specimen No. 4 illustrates the effect produced on the bark when treated in this manner. The object in sub- mitting this specimen is to ascertain if the in- creased thickness in the bark , and consequently the greater cellular development, is likely to faci- litate the deposit of Alkaloids .

4. Specimens Nos . 10 and 11 of decoction and infusion made from the green leaves immedi- ately they were gathered from the plains are submitted, as Mr. Howard , from his great practical experience, may be able to form a more correct opinion of their virtue than could be obtained in this country . At the same time we have submitted both decoction and infusion, as well as the leaves themselves, to the Principal Inspector -General , Medical Department , Madras , as also to the Senior Medical Officer of this Station, for trial in the Hospital here .

7. I fear that the specimens now sent may perhaps be too young to enable Mr. Howard to come to a definite conclusion , but I trust they may enable him to indicate the probable future results ; and, with the permission of Government, I will further prosecute the experiments above noticed , as I consider it desirable not to lose sight of the fact , that we are only beginning the cultiva- tion of a plant the correct treatment of which is but little known. It is therefore important that we endeavor, as early as possible, to arrive at a system of cultivation which will produce the greatest yield of Alkaloids and bark with the least expenditure of time and capital .

5. We have ascertained that the Cinchona tree has the power of rapidly renewing its bark ifthe spaces from which it is taken are immedi- ately covered with damp moss . Specimen No. 3 is the new bark formed over the same spaces from which the barks sent through Mr. Markham to Mr. Howard in July last was taken : this bark is consequently of eight months growth , and is much thicker in proportion than bark of the same age formed on young wood . The object in sub- mitting this small specimen of renewed bark is to ascertain whether bark so found is likely to prove of as much commercial value as that formed in the usual way ; should it do so, it will prove of immense practical value , inasmuch as it will enable us to remove stripes of bark from the trunk, perhaps with the greatest advantage after a growth of from six to seven years ; at the same time immediatcaly covering the spaces with damp moss as the bark is removed ; when treated in this manner new bark will form over the entire surface in from six weeks to two months , when the moss may be taken off; the bark being then capable of performing all its functions without any protection whatever ; and perhaps should be permitted to attain a growth of six or seven years b fore the same bark is again removed . Although it is possible , I do not see that any deterioration in the market value of the bark can be caused by this treatment, and should it prove successful it will have the immense advantage of enabling us to procure at least three times the produce of bark which could be had under any other system.

The number of plants already bespoken amounts to 44,000, and when it is remembered that no public advertisement has been made of the intention of the Governinent to dispose of the plants this fart clearly establishes that Cinchona cultivation will be extensively taken up by private enterprize . At the suggestion of Mr. C. R. Markham the names of some of our species have been altered in this Re- port ; that gentleman's Memorandum on the sub- ject is hereto attached for the information of all who are interested in the no- menclature of the specica.

MEMORANDUM .

It is therefore proposed that the name C. Officinalis shouldbe adopted for this species now thriving in India out of deference to the opinion of so high an authority on systematic Botany.as Dr. Hooker.

There has been much confusion in the nomen- clature of the species of Cinchona from the Forests of Loxa, three varieties of which are now grow- ing on the Neilgherry Hills . They are all class- edby Dr. Weddell under the head of C. Conda- minea, and hitherto the varieties have been called in Mr. McIvor's Reports ,-1 , Uritusinga ; 2 , Cha- huarguera; 3, Crispa .

With regard to the three varieties of this spe- cies now growing on the Neilgherry Hills it is proposed to adopt the follow ng names with the concurrence of Sir William and Dr. Hooker :--- (1.) That now called Uritusinga was the ori- should therefore bear his name Var. Condaminea. ginal variety discovered by LaCondamine, an l

(2.) That now called Chahuarguera is the identical plant figured in Plate X of the great work of Humboldt and Bonpland ( the unshaded branch withwith capscapsules ) . It ought thereforo to bear the name of one or other of those eminent Naturalists . A species of Cinchona has already been called after Humboldt, and it is therefore

proposed to call this variety Bonplandiana. (3.) The variety called Crispa by Tafalla requires no alteration.

We thus have C. Officinalis- 1. Var. Comarimea.

2. Var . Bonplandiana. 3. Var . Crispa.

(Sd) CLEMENTS R. MARKHAM .

Dr. Hooker, in a recent number of the Botani- reverting to the original name given by Linnæus calMagazine, has named the species C. Oficinalis , (see page 9 of " Travels in Peru and India ") Dr. Hooker says , " When once the aw of priority is " departed from without perfeotly good cause the "door is opened to endless future change and " consequent confusion . The gems was founded " upon the one plant called Suinquina' by " LaCondamine, to which Linpmus gave the i specific name of C. Officinalis . This name, which appears to us in every way unobjection- " able, and which was adopted by Vahl and Lam- "bert , Willdenow, Lamarck, and Ræmer and Schultes , was changed by Humboldt and Bonpland to C. Condaminea on grounds which we consider insuflicient ."

calculating Stamp Duties according to the rates of Exchange notified by him from time to time in the GovernmentGazette. This course of proceeding had its conveniences , and it was proposed by this Bill to legalise it . The Bill gave power to the Governor of the Straits, by Notification from time to time, to fix the rate of Exchange at which Stamp Duties should be payable on instruments executed in the Straits' Settlement , the value of which is not ex- pressed in the Currency of India; and declared all such instruments which had been duly stamp- ed prior to the time at which this part of the Bill should come into operation, according to a rate fixed by any former Notification to have

Consumption of Salt in the Chittagong District.

From W GORDON YOUNG, ESQ. , Officiating Commissioner ofthe Chittagong Division, to the Secretary to the Board ofRevenue, Lower Provinces , (dated Chittagong, the 31st March 1863.)

WITH reference to your No. 11351, dated 18th Octo- ber 1862, and No. 282 , dated 24th March 1963 . letters noted in the margin I have the honor to report as follows :-

2. The annual con- sumption of Salt in the Chittagong District (on an average of the consumption of the preceding three years ) is about 1,80,000 Maunds . The quantity annually consumed in the neighbouring Districts of Bhulloosh and Tipperah cannot be exactly stated, as part of their supply is, doubtless , derived from sources from which we got no Returns , but what has been taken from the Chittagong Salt Agency during the last three years is noted below:-

2,61,495 The Hon'ble MR . MAINE moved for leave to introduce a Bill to remove doubts as to the opera- tion of Act X. of 1862 ( to consolidate and amend the law relating to Stamp Duties ) in the Settle- ment of Prince of Wales' Island , Singapore, and Malacca between the 1st day of November 1962 and the 1st dav of January 1863 , and res- pecting the rate of Exchange for payment of Stamp Duties in the Currency of India in the said Settlement. He said that , as in the case of the Burmah Courts Bill which had first been passed, the necessity for this Bill was caused by an illegality into which a local Government had fallen, probably unavoidably . The Stamp Act of 1862 came into operation generally on the 1st June 1862 , and it extended to the Straits' Settle- ment; but the Governor General in Council suspended its operation by a Notification dated the 30th May 1862. By another Notification dated the 1st November that Notification was cancelled; but by a subsequent Notification dated the 6th November the Straits ' Settlement was exempted from the operation of Schedule В. The Governor of the Straits , on the receipt of these Notifications, found himself unable to carry the Act into force , and took the responsibility of postponing its operation until the 10th Decem- ber; and then, in consequence of his inability to meet the demand for all the Stamps required , he further, postponed its operation until the lat January 1863. Although the Act was certainly in force from the date of the Notification of the Ist November until the 6th November, and although Schedule A. remained in force after the 6th November , the effect of the orders of the Governor was to prevent instruments from being properly stamped according to its provisions : many penalties had therefore been incurred , and many documents had been rendered invalid or inadmissible in evidence . To obviate the ex- tensive mischief which might follow from this state of things it had been thought necessary, by legislation, to provide generally that the Act should be held not to have come into operation in the Straits' Settlement prior to the 1st January 1863 . The Bill declared that Schedule A. came into operation in the Straits' Settlement on that date, and that Schedule B. should come into force from the time which the Governor General in Council should appoint. The latter portion of the Bill was intended to cure a difficulty which had arisen in ascertaining the exact sum to be paid as Stamp Duty in the Straits . The Stamp Act gave the sum only in Rupees ; but in the Straits nearly all the Currencies of the East were to be met with , and the question was according to what rate of Exchange Stamp Duty was to be calculated ? Probably a Court of Law would hold that it should be calculated according to the true rate of Exchange of the day and he believed that an Hon'ble Member of the Council ( Mr. Cowie) would say that it was the practice in Calcutta that it should be calculated in that manner . The Governor of the Straits, however, had been in the habit of [ 213 ]

2. I have also the honor to report that this day Lieutenant -Colonel Brooke , Officiating Poli- tical Agent at Jeypore, has, by direction of His Highness the Maharajah , placed at my disposal Rupees (1,080) one thousand and eighty , with a request that such sum may be devoted to the founding , for a period of three years, of a " Jeypore Scholarship, " of the monthly value of Rupees (30 ) thirty , to be awarded to the most promising Student in the Third Year Class of the Presidency College , and by him to be held up to the period of his becoming a candidate for the Degree of M.

experienced from his late visit to the College." 3. The given by His Highness has been duly forwarded to the Bank of Bengal for deposit in the Treasury .

4. As His Highness the Maharajah intends that his liberality should have immediate effect , I beg to recommend that the " Jeypore Scholarship" be forthwith awarded to such Student in the Third Year Class of this College as may have honorably passed the late First Arts' Examination, but for whom no other Scholarship has been hitherto available.

In moderate weather Vessels find no difficulty in making the Port ; in bad weather of course they would keep to sea. We have belong- ing to the Port two Vessels above 600 Tons burden : they returned to Port during the South- West Monsoon.

5. In conclusion, I have to request that you willbe so good as to bring this act of enlightened munificence to the special notice of His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal , and to beg that it may by Governmentbe adequately acknow- ledged.

7. As to bonding Salt there is ground to be had on the river side for hire on which Godowns may be built ; and there are also the Government Golahs conveniently situated in which Salt may be stored. There is always an abundant supply of Boats to be had to land Salt .

From W. S. ATKINSON , ESQ , Director of Public Instruc- tion, to W. GRAPEL , ESQ. , M. A. , Officiating Principal of the Presidency College, ( No , 1156 , dated the 30th March 1863.)

I HAVE the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 410, dated 13th March , reporting that the Maharajah of Jeypore paid a visit to the College on the 9th instant , and that , in token of the pleasure and satisfaction afforded him , he has since deposited in your hands a handsome donation of Rupees 1,080 , to be devoted to the establish- ment of a Scholarship of Rupees 30 per mensem, for three years , for a Student who passed successfully in the recent First Examination in Arts .

2. In reply I have to express my own gratifi- cation at the Maharajah's very appropriate and useful benefaction, and to inform you that I shall not fail to recommend His Highness' liberality to the favorable notice of Ilis Honor the Lieutenant- Governor .

9. All the information above given , with the exception of the stock of Salt in the Golahs of which monthly Returns are furnished to the Board, having been furnished in the enclosure of my letter No. 125, dated 6th December 1862 , a separate reply to your letter No. 1185 ), dated 18th October last,was thought unnecessary.

3. In order to give immediate effect , as you suggest , to His Highness' intentions , a Scholar- ship , to be called " the Jeypore Scholarship, " of the value of Rupees 30 per mensem , is hereby awarded to Charu Chunder Dutt, the highest Under - Graduate of the Third Year, for whom no Senior Scholarship was available at the late annual election. This Scholarship will be tenable at the [ 214 ]

presented by His Highness the Maharajah of Jey- pore in token of the gratification afforded him by his recent visit to the College.

From S. C. BAYLEY , Esq. , Junior Secretary to the Govern . ment of Bengal, to the Director of Public Instruction ,- (dated the 15th April 1863. )

Presidency College under the usual conditions for two academical years , at the expiration of which the Scholarship will again be awarded for one year to the highest Bachelor of Arts who does not ob- tuin one of the Foundation Scholarships of the College . This arrangement will , for obvious reasons , be fairer than that proposed in your letter, by which the Scholarship would have been at once made tenable for three years by one and the same Student.

It has given the Lieutenant-Governor great satisfaction to learn from your letter No. 1218 of 6th April, that His Highness the Maharajah of Jeypore has bestowed a liberal donation of Rupees 1,080 on the Presidency College " in token of the pleasure and satisfaction he experienced from his late visit ."

4. An Official Notification of the award of this Scholarship is forwarded herewith , which you will be so good as to make public in the College in the usual way.

JEYPORE SCHOLARSHIP .

A SCHOLARSHIP of the value of Rupees 30 per mensem , tenable for two Sessions in the Presidency College, is hereby awarded to Charu Chunder Dutt .

2. The Lieutenant - Governor desires me to express his approval of the disposal of this sum in the foundation of a Jyepore Scholarship , to be awarded to the most promising Student in the Third Year Class of the Presidency College .

3. The correspondence will be published in the Supplement of the Calcutta Gazette.

This Scholarship, which willbe called the Jey- pore Scholarship, is provided out of a sum of money

14551 REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE BENGAL BONDED WAREHOUSE ASSOCIATION

FOR THE HALF - YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL 1863 .

1. Your Directors submit the usual Half- yearly Statement of Account for the approval of Proprietors .

2. The rents collected during the six months ended 30th April 1863 amount to Rupees 82,280-3-0 , which about equals the sum realized during the previous half- year ; but there has been a gradual clearance of Goods from bond during the last six or eight weeks , and these withdrawals together with a higher assessment since January, have diminished the surplus available for a Dividend .

3. The surplus amounts to Rupees 59,470-4-5 , which is nearly equal to 30 Rupees a share the last declared Dividend; but after reserving Rupees 2,000 for the Repair and Building Fund, and Rupees 1,300 for a bonus to your Establishment , which your Directors recommend, the balance is equal to a Dividend of 28 Rupees per share, free of Income Tax .

4. Mr. D. Cowie and Mr. R. B. Mackay go out by rotation . Mr. Cowie offers himself for re - election ; Mr. T. R. Grant is a candidate for the seat in the direction vacated by Mr. J. N. Bullen, proceeded to Europe ; and Mr. Steuart Gladstone for that vacated by Mr. R. B. Mackay.

The crop is estimated at 1,500 lbs . of seed Cotton , or 350 lbs . of clean Cotton, half of the seed only is considered to have germinated; 35 lbs . per Acre is not much of a crop, but the Cotton appears to be good, white , and clean .

upwards of 500 Acres were sown with Egyptian Cotton as an experument, there being no American Cotton seed to be had at Madras . The season was for Cotton a good one . The September rains having been copious, and the result of the experi- ment appears to be that the climate of Cuddapah is too arid for the Egyptian plant, unless acoom- panied by irrigation , still it was a minifest inm- provement on the indigenous .

I HAVE the honor to acknowledge receipt of your docket No. 617 , dated 1 instant, for- warding , for my opinion, the documents marginally noted on the efficacy

of Salt as a preven- simple Cholera preventive with perfect success in England. The quantity of Salt taken in England is one drachm a day, divided into three portions , one portion to be taken with each meal . But the Civil Surgeon at this Station allowed a larger quantity as the Cholera raged in the vicinity of the Jail with great virulence , and as Natives in India never have more than two meals a day an equal quantity of Salt ( a little less than a pyce in weight) was given with each of the meals . The Salt (which is our common table Salt) was pound- ed fine and eaten when the food was served up . The Salt loses this peculiar property if it is mixed with the food when being cooked . In salted meats, too, the Salt loses this virtue, one pyce and 4 mashas are about two pyce in weight . One Rupee's weight a day would , however, be sufficient when Cholera raged with virulence in any locality ; the weight of three 4th pieces wouldbe ample, if there were only a few Cholera cases about the neighbourhood . The prescribed quantity of Salt shouldshould be taken as long as the Cholera hung about, and the prescription would in two days , humanly speaking, (indeed in 99 cases out of a 100) render the person taking the Salt proof against the attack of Cholera. Salt has a preventive not a curative property. The Sult shouldbe taken with the food so as not to cause thirst or uneasiness in the stomach .

Every order issued under this Section shall be published in the Official Gazette .

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS .

THE late Lieutenant -Governor of the North- Western Provinces , in a communication dated 10th of January 1862, brought to the notice of the Supreme Government the unsatisfactory condition of the Law respecting the office of Cantonment Joint Magistrate , and with a view to its amendment , made several pro- posals, the chief of which follow:-

1st. That the appointment of Cantonment Joint Magistrate should be constituted by express authority ofLaw.

tary Cantonment the powers of a subordinate Magistrate of the 1st or 2nd Class , as defined in the Code of Criminal Procedure, and may invest him with power to try any offences against any Rule or Regulation passed under Section X of this Act . Such subordinate Cantonment Magis- trate shall be subject to the Rules laid down for subordinate Magistrates in the Code of Criminal Procedure . Provided that when a Cantonment Ma- Proviso. gistrate has been appointed in any such Cantonment , the Can- tonment Magistrate shall exercise, with respectto such subordinate Cantonment Magistrate, all the powers which, under the Code of Criminal Pro- cedure, are exercisedby the Magistrate of a Dis- trict with respect to a subordinate Magistrate , and sentences and orders passed by such subordinate Cantonment Magistrate shall be open to appeal to the Cantonment Magistrate in the same manner in which, under the said Code, appeals may be made to the Magistrate of a District . If there shall be no Cantonment Magistrate, such sub- ordinate Cantonment Magistrate shall be subject to the control of the Magistrate of the District in the same manner as a subordinate Magistrate under the Code of Criminal Procedure . Provided that such subordinate Cantonment Magistrate shall not be subject to the control of the Magis trate of the District in respect to any cases arising under any Rule or Regulation passed under Sec- tion X of this Act .

2nd. That the Cantonment Police should be under the Cantonment Joint Magistrate, but that, in respect of Police inatters , that Officer should stand in the same relation to the Commanding Officer of the Cantonment in which the District Superintendent of Police is declared by Section IV. Act V of 1861 to stand to the Magistrate of the District :-explained by His Honor to mean, that the Cantonment Joint Magistrate should be subject in all his Police pro- ceedings to the direction and control of the Command- gising Officer of the Cantonment, but that he should be departmentally subordinate to the Inspector-General of Police, in the same manner in which the District Superintendent is subordinate to that Officer .

Commissioners not competent to inter fere with exercise of powers under this Act.

3rd. That the Cantonment Joint Magistrate should, subject to the supervision of the Command- ing Officer of the Cantonment, have jurisdiction in petty cases, for the trial of which Regulation XX of 1810 provides through the instrumentality of Courts Martial .

XX. The Commissioner of the Division in which any Military Canton- ment may be situated , when such Officer exists , shall have no power to interfere with the exercise in the said Canton- in this Section shall affect the authority exercised by a Com- missioner under Act XXI of 1856 (to consolidate and amend the law relating to the Abkaree Revenue in the Presidency of Fort William in Bengal) , or under any other law in force for the control and direction of Officers having charge of the Abkarce Revenue.

4th . That the Cantonment Joint Magistrate should, in subordination to the Magistrate of the District , hold the preliminary investigation in heinous cases arising within the limits of the Cantonment in which he holds his office , and either commit the accused persons to the Sessious , or , when the alleged offences are within the competency of the Magistrate of the District to try, dispose of the case himself. The late Mr. Ritchie hraving been of opinion that some legislation was called for, and that several of the recoinmendations of the late Lieutenant-(Governor might be advantageously adopted, a draft Bill was subsequently preparedby the Hon'ble Mr. Harington , these suggestions, and was submitted His Excellency the Commander -in- Chief, and to the Government of India in the Military Department . That Bill has since been re -considered with a view to making it applicable to a variety of matters requiring regulation withın Military Cantonments, and the present Bill, though embodying many of the provi- sions of the former one, may be regarded as substan- tially new .

XXI . All acts done previously to the pass. Acts done by Can- ing of this Act by Canton tonment Magistrates ment Joint Magistrates, or by betore passing of persons acting under their thisAct legalized.

XXII . This Act shall extend only to the

As now drawn , the Bill substitutes the designation " Cantonment Magistrate" for " Cantonment Jont Magistrate, " and by this alteration , certam legal difficulties connected with the manner in which the office has heretofore been constituted and occupied will, it is thought , be got rid of. In its earlier Sections , the Bill detines the jurisdiction of the Can- tonment Magistrate.

authority or otherwise, in any Presidency of Fort William in Bengal , but the provisions of the Act may be extend by order of the Governor- General in Council to any place administered by a Chief Commissioner, or Agent to the Governor- General , under the orders of the Supreme Govern- ment, or by order of the Lieutenant- Governor of the North-Western Provinces , or of the Lieu- tenant- ( overnor of the Punjab , to any part of the Territories under their Governments, respectively , Extension of Act .

Section I describes the Judicial powers of a Canton- ment Magistrate , and Section 11 gives an appeal from his sentences and orders to the Court of Sersion of the District or place in which the Cantonments situated .

No. 3351 .

Fort William , the 23rd May 1863 .

Section III is framed to meet the case of Canton- ments situated in Non- Regulation Provinces , or places in which there are no persons exercising the powers of a Court of Session; and Section IV pro- vides that sentences and orders passed by a Court of Session, or a Court acting under the last preced- ing Section, shall be open to appeal or revision.

Notification . Mr. Henry Wodehouse Dashwood , of the Civil Service, is permitted to proceed to Europe , on Furlough , " for a period of three years , from the date of embarkation.

No. 3352 . The 26th May 1863 .

Section V constitutes Cantonment Magistrates Registers of Deods ; and Section VI provides for their exercising the powers vested in the District Superin- tendent of Police, under the general direction and control of the Commanding Officer of the Cantonment , in the same manner in which a District Superintendent is ordinarily controlled by the Magistrate of the District . The Commanding Officer is empowered by Section VII . to have process served and executed in certain cases through the agency of the Cantonment Magistrato; and Section VIII enables the local Governments to extend to Military Cantonments the provisions of Act XX of 1856

Erratum. The donation of Rupees 800 to Messrs . A. F., Millet and A. Mackenzie, notified in Order No. 3259 , dated the 22nd instant , was granted not , as therein stated , for high proficienev shown by those gentlemen in two languages , but for their having passed in two languages within five months of their arrival in India.

E. C. BAYLEY, Secy. to the Govt. of India .

Sections X to XVII permit the local Government to make Rules on certain subjects which urgently re- quire regulation within Military Cantonments , and they provide the means , and prescribe the manner , of carrying these rules into operation . Considerations of sanitary reform led originally to the preparation of these Sections, but the opportunity has been taken to give the local Government power to regulate other matters on which rules are much needed,-e g .- the resumption of Government land occupied by individu- als, the acquisition of houses for Officers' quarters , and the transfer of property generally .

FOREIGN DEPARTMENT .

Section XVIII is intended to save all strictly Mili . tary Authority, and to prevent any conflict of juris- diction between the Commanding Officer and the Can- toninent Magistrate ; and Section XX prevents the Commissioner of the Division from interfering with the Cantonment Magistrate when exercising his powers under this Act . Section XIX permits the appoint- ment of Subordinate Cantonment Magistrates .

No. 43 . MILITARY. Simla, the 16th May 1863 .

In consequence of the supposed legal difficulties mentioned above, it has been thought desirable to give validity in Section XXI to all past acts of Can- tonment Joint Magistrates .

The measure applies primarily to the Presidency of FortWilliam in Bengal , but may be extended to other Territories by their Governments .

From LIFUTENANT- COLONEL E T. DALTON , Commissioner of Chota Nagpore , to the HON'BLE A. EDEN , Secretary to the Government of Bengal , ( No. 708 , dated the 28th April 1863 )

I HAVE the honor to lay before the Hon'ble the Lieutenant-Governor a letter* No. 4 , dated 27th January 1863. from Captain G. C. Depree , the Officer in charge of No. 4 , I AM directed by the Hon'ble the Lieutenant- Governor of the Punjab to announce to you , for the information and satisfaction of His Excellency the Viceroy and (tovernor General of India , that the extension or Branch of the Punjal Railway from Mooltan to the River Terminus on the Chenab , at the Sher Shah Ghat , about 12 miles in length, was opened for public traffic on and from the 5th instant, after an official inspection of the Line andwork had been carefully made by the Consult- inging EngineerEngineer ono the 30th ultimo .

Topographical Survey Party , forwarding a Report , by Mr. Apothecary Horrox ey a interesting lo- cality, fifteen miles north of this Station, the Baragai or Marang Hill .

2. The Hill is in the Zemindaree of Chota Nagpore, and is included in the sub - tenure or " Jaghir" of Rai Juggutpal Singh Bahadoor of Pithoria, Ilonorary Magistrate.

2. In concert with the Civil Authorities , who took measures to notify the same to the inhabi- tants of Mooltan , the Consulting Engineer pro- posed to the Railway Officers to give one " free " day in Special Trains to all who were disposed to go by Rail to Sher Shah and back ; and on the 4th these Trains carried 5,000 ' free ' Excursionists each way, without accident. Ilis Honor considers that this " free" day was well thought of, and trusts that the inhabitants of Mooltan will ero long be induced to use this Branch Railwayboth for Goods as well Passengers proceeding to the River side and Ferries in the neighbourhood .

8. I append an Extract from the Meteorologi- cal Register kept at Ranchee for the days in De- cember, on which observations were made by Mr. Horrox , but as the observations taken at Ranchee do not give the maximum and minimum temperature during the twenty - four hours , the means of comparison are imperfect.

4. It is not , however, in the month of Decem- ber that the greatest difference is likely to be found. Senior and Presidency Surgeon Dr. J. P. Brougham visited the Hill, and remained for some days on its summit , but I cannot find in my Office any record of his observations .

3. At present there is but one Engine at Mooltan in running order to convey the Trains, two in namber each way, that have been first put But a second Engine will be in a few days available , while two fresh Engines were landed at the Ghat from Kurrachee on the 2nd instant, and on.

Every order issued under this Section shallbe published in the Official Gazette.

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS .

THE late Lieutenant-Governor of the North- Western Provinces , in a comununication dated 10th of January 1862, brought to the notice of the Supreme Government the unsatisfactory condition of the Law respecting the office of Cantonment Joint Magistrate, and with a view to its amendment, made several pro- posals , the chief of which follow:-

1st. That the appointment of Cantonment Joint Magistrate should be constituted by express authority of Law.

XIX. The local Government may appoint any person to be a subordinate Cantonment Magistrate , and may authorize him to exercise within the limits of any Mili- tary Cantonment the powers of a subordinate Magistrate of the 1st or 2nd Class , as defined in the Code of Criminal Procedure , and may invest him with power to try any offences against any Rule or Regulation passed under Section X of this Act . Such subordinate Cantonment Magis- trate shall be subject to the Rules laid down for subordinate Magistrates in the Code of Criminal Procedure . Provided that when a Cantonment Ma- gistrate has been appointed in Proviso . any such Cantonment, the Can- tonment Magistrate shall exercise , with respect to such subordinate Cantonment Magistrate, all the powers which , under the Code of Criminal Pro- cedure, are exercised by the Magistrate of a Dis- trict with respect to a subordinate Magistrate , and sentences and orders passed by such subordinate Cantonment Magistrate shallbe open to appeal to the Cantonment Magistrate in the same manner in which, under the said Code , appeals may be made to the Magistrate of a District . If there shall be no Cantonment Magistrate , such sub- ordinate Cantonment Magistrate shall be subject to the control of the Magistrate of the District in the same manner as a subordinate Magistrate under the Code of Criminal Procedure . Provided that such subordinate Cantonment Magistrate shall not be subject to the control of the Magis- trate of the District in respect to any cases arising under any Rule or Regulation passed under Sec- tion X of this Act .

2nd. That the Cantonment Police should be under the Cantonment Joint Magistrato , lut that, in respect of Police matters , that Officer should stand in the same relation to the Commanding Officer of the Cantonment in which the District Superintendent of Police is declared by Section IV Act V of 1801 to stand to the Magistrate of the District :-explained by His Honor to mean, that the Cantonment Joint Magistrate shouldbe subject in all hia Police pro- ceedings to the direction and control of the Comniand- ing Officer of the Cantonment, but that he should be departmentally subordinate to the Inspector- General of Police , in the same manner in which the District Superintendent is subordinate to that Officer .

Brd. That the Cantonment Joint Magistrate should , subject to the supervision of the Command- ing Officer of the Cantonment , have jurisdiction in petty cases , for the trial of which Regulation XX. of 1810 provides through the instrumentality of Courts Martial.

XX. The Commissioner of the Division in Commissioners not competent to inter fere with exercise of powers under this Act. ment of any powers exercised by any Officer under the provisions of this Act. Provided that nothing

Ath. That the Cantonment Joint Magistrate should , in subordination to the Magistrate of the District, hold the prelimin.preliminary investigation in heinous cases arising within the limits of the Cantonment in which he holds his office , and either commit the accused persons to the Sessions , or , when the alleged offences are within the competency of the Magistrate of the District to try, dispose of the case himself.

which any Military Canton- ment may be situated , when such Officer exists , shall have no power to interfere with the exercise in the said Canton- Proviso. in this Section shall affect the authority exercised by a Com missioner under Act XXI of 18568 ( to consolidate and amend the law relating to the Abkaree Ilovenue in the Presidency of Fort William in Bengal) , or under any other law in force for the control and direction of Officers having charge of the Abkarce Revenue .

The late Mr. Ritchie having been of opinion that some legislation was called for, and that several of the recommendations of the late Lieutenant-Governor might be advantageously adopted , a draft Bill was subsequently preparedby the Hon'ble Mr. Harington , embodying these suggestions , and was submitted to Excellency the Commander-in- Chief, and to the Government of India in the Military Department . That Bill has since been re -considered with a view to making it applicable to a variety of matters requiring regulation within Military Cantonaments , and the present Bill , though embodying many of the provi- sions of the fornier one, may be regarded as substan- tially new .

As now drawn, the Bill substitutes the designation "Cantonment Magistrate" for Cantonment Joint Magistrate, " and by this alteration , certain legal difficulties connected with the manner in which the officehas heretofore been constituted and occupied will , it is thought , be got rid of. In its earlier Sections, the Ball defines the jurisdiction of the Can tonment Magistrate.

Section I describes the Judicial powers of a Canton- ment Magistrate ; and Section 11 gives an appeal from his sentences and orders to the Court of Session of the District or place in which the Cantonment is situated.

XXI . All acts done previously to the pass- Acts done by Can- ing of this Act by Canton- tonment Magistrates ment Joint Magistratas, or by before passing of persons acting under their this Act legalized . authority or otherwise, in any Military Cantonment , in pursuance of an order of Government, or which shall have been or shall be ratified by the Executive Government, are hereby confirmed and made valid ; and all such Officers and persons as aforesaid are hereby indemnified and discharged from liability in respect of such acts. XXII . This Act shall extend only to the Presidency of Fort William in Extension ofAct . Bengal , but the provisions of the Act may be extended by order of the Governor- General in Council to any place administeredby a Chief Commissioner , or Agent to the Governor- General , under the ordors of the Supreme Govern- ment, or by order of the Lieutenant - Governor of the North - Westernstern Provinces, or of the Lieu- tenant- Governor of the Punjab , to any part of the Territories under their Governments, respectively, [ 1529 ]

Section III is framed to meet the caso of Canton- ments situated in Non -Regulation Provinces , or places in which there are no persons exercising the powers of a Court of Session; and Section IV pro- vides that sentences and orders passed by a Court of Session,or a Court acting under the last preced- ing Section, shall be open to appeal or revision .

Section V constitutes Cantonment Magistrates Registers of Deeds ; and Section VI provides for their excrcising the powers vested in the District Superin- tendent of Police , under the general direction and control of the Commanding Officor of the Cantonment, in the same manner in which a District Superintendent is ordinarily controlled by the Magistrate of the District . The Commanding Officer is empowered by Section VII to have process served and executed in certain cases through the agency of the Cantonment Magistrate; and Section VIII enables the local Governments to extend to Military Cantonments the provisions of Act XX of 1856

First Class Assistant District Superintendents .

Lieutenant C. L. B. Walton, Madras Staff Corps , with effect from 1st October 1862.

Sections X to XVII permit the local Government tomake Rules on certain subjects which urgently re- quire regulation within Military Cantonments , and they provide the means, and prescribe the manner, of carrying these rules into operation . Considerations of sanitary reform led originally to the preparation of theso Sections , but the opportunity has been taken to give the local Government power to regulate other matters on which rules are much needed ,-e. g .- the resumption of Government land occupied by individu- als , the acquisition of houses for Officers quarters , and the transfer of property generally.

Captain H. F. Ireland , late 25th Bengal Infan- try, with effect from 1st May 1862.

Sccond Class Assistant District Superintendents .

Section XVIII is intended to save all strictly Mili. strictly tary Authority, and to prevent any conflict of juris- diction between the Commanding Officer and the Can- tonment Magistrate ; and Section XX prevents the Commissioner of the Division from interfering with the Cantonment Magistrate when exercising his powers under this Act . Section XIX permits the appoint- ment of Subordinate Cantonment Magistrates .

Mr. J. M. Berrill, with effect from 1st May 1862.

In consequence of the supposed legal difficulties mentioned above, it has been thought desirable to give validity in Section XXI to all past acts of Can- tonment Joint Magistrates .

Report on the condition of the Hill Zemindaries .

unfailing gratitude the personal kindness of an Arbuthnot , a Smollett , and a Robertson . I wish I could see them solicitous to secure an English education for their sons. I stirred them up to this end and extracted some promises ; Government are aware that there is an excellent Anglo - Verna- cular School at Vizagapatam , supported by the Native gentry of the District , with a Grant- in- aid from Government and under the management of a Committee of Hindus .

From D. F CARMICHARL , ESQ. , Acting Agent to the Go- vernor, Vizagapatam , to the HON'BLE H. A. ARBUTHNOT , C'hief Secretaryto Government, Fort St.George, ( dated Vizagapatam, the 31st March 1863. )

Report on Tour . Condition of Hill Zemindaries.

I set out on my tour to the Hill Zemindaries and Jeypore on the 1st December, and returned to Vizagapatam on the 7th March instant . I was accompanied throughout by Major Buck , Superin tendent of Police .

'The whole of December was devoted to the Hill Zemindaries and 1 proceed to speak of them first . They are all in a highly prosperous condition. The export trade at Bimlipatam and Calingapatam has probably doubled the land under cultivation in the course of the last thirty years . The whole country to the foot of the ghauts is one sheet of cultivation , not only paddy fields , but considerable gardens of sugar -cane and tobacco . I met with no complaints ; the Ryots seem on the best terms with the ancient Zemindare . It is only in the south of the District where one or two estates have fallen into the hauds of money lenders and usurers that any thing like a general ill-feeling prevailsbetween the landlord and tenant.

3. Exceptional case in Panchipenta. The only notable exception to the good condition of the Zemindaries is the Panchipenta Estate, which, I fear, will shortly be brought to the hammer. On succeeding to the estate, now more than twelve years since , the proprietor neglected to resume or to assess with a suitable quit- rent the numerous villages granted on service tenure by his father ; and having thus slept on his rights for a period beyond the statute he is left without remedy. Moreover, Government has recently directed the discontinuance of the transit Duty heretofore ille- gally , but with their implied sanction, collected on traders passing through his country to and from the coast by this Zumindar, and he is reduced to great straits . I assembled his retainers andpointed out to them that the ruin of their Chief would entail their own, a sale for arrears of tribute of course cancelling all tenancies of this kind created after the permanent settlement ; and that it would be for their own benefit to contribute a moderate rent for their lands and so keep the Zemindar afloat . If they give no heed to this advice the estate will certainly be attached to their immediate ruin , and a similar fate would befall them should a casualty in the ownership of the Zemindary occur in the ordinary course of nature .

4. State of the roads. Carts can travel to most leading towns in the Hill Zemindaries , but with very great difficulty . Happily there is an excellent road , with a maintenance allowance of of Rupees 100 a mile, from Parvatipur, through 2. The Zemindars themselves. The Zemindars still indulge in much feudal pomp in their retinues , but they no longer shut themselves up in their fortresses . These ancient buildings are either entirely deserted, or converted into commodious substantial modern houses . Some of the Chief's succeeded to their estates as minors and were brought down to Vizagapatam tobe trained up under the eye of the Governor's Agent . These all speak English after a fashion , and mention with [ 224 ]

Palconda,to Chicacole and Calingapatam. What is wanted is a road to connect Parvatipur with Vizianagrum, from which last mentioned place the road is good to Bimlipatam and Vizagapatam . As we are superseding the Salt pans of Konada and Kuppili by one large one to be constructed at Bimlipatam,it seems important to the urper portions of this road which is certainly the main line ofthe District .

and which have been managed by this Agency, on account of the lawless state of the country since 1855 , the Jeypore territories extend for some fifty miles ; but the Rajah, though universally acknow- Jedged as the Suzeram , has not always the direct control . Exclusive of large tracts occupied by independent and semi -independent Khonds , the country is divided between three powerful Chiefs , one at Godairy, another at Bissementtack, and the third at Singapore .

10. The hond Districts . First Sirdarpur.

5. Palconda . After making the tour of the Hill Estates I went to Palconda, which is flourishing in the hands of the lessees , Arbuthnot and Company, and passed through the Sitampéta Ghaut into Parla Kimedy of Ganjam, which from Palconda was my shortest route to Gunapur. 6. Importance of Sitampéta Ghaut . This is a Chandrapur, Rayabiji.

This Agency was informed by Captain MeNeill that there are seven Khond Mootahs in Jeypore addicted to human sacrifice. They are noted in the margin, and we visited them in the order indicated .

Bissemcuttack . Durji .

Starting from Gunapur we made two marches to Sirdarpur . This will be found in No. 107, Trigono- metrical Survey Map , lying about twenty miles north- east of Gunapur. For fifteen miles our road lay through a fertile , well cultivated valley ; after that we had heavy jungle on either side, and found our tents pitched near the village of Sirdarpur by the side of a most unwholesome looking pool , the only water in the place, and common alike therefore to elephants, horses , bullocks , and men . All around were lofty hills covered with dense jungle . We left this village on the second day after an interview with the neighbouring Khonds and passed on to (todairy , distant some twelve miles north north- west ; road bad, and jungle heavy all the way. About a mile from Sirdarpur we marked down a very suitable halting place near the village of Komárigudda, where we determined to encamp next year .

very important ghant, connecting Kimedy with Palconda. An excellent road , made at the expense of the Parla Kimedy Estate, runs at right angles to it from the Ganjam Coast to Buttelee, and if the track for carts passing through this ghaut to and from Palconda could be improved into a tolerable road the present traffic would be enormously enhanced. In 1885 , after the disturbances , and before the Palconda Estate was leased out to the Messrs . Arbuthnot, four and twenty of the neigh- bouring Mokhasadars contracted with the Collector to clear the jungle on each side of the road ; they were to enjoy the clearings free for five years and then to hold the land on a favorable quit- rent. This was done and the ghaut has long ceased to be dangerous either from wild beasts or robbers . The traffic is very great, as, with the exception of the coast line, the only communication between this and the Ganjam District . But the line is entirely unmade , and a very great development of traffic would attend a very slight outlay for an improved road.

7. Gunapur of Joypore. Rajah's debts. At Gunapur I was principally engaged in making ar- rangements with the registered creditors of the Jeypore Rajah, who mostly reside at this place. After some littleittle negociation the great majority came forward and assented to eight annas in the Rupee. The claims of twenty- five creditors , amounting to Rupees 21,500-12-9 , were thus settled for Rupees 10,750-6-4. Eight creditors , with a de- mand of Rupees 11,622-12-6 , held out for better terms, but I saw no reason to accede to them. Many other claims were preferred , but we must draw aline somewhere , and I decided not to con- cern myself with unregistered claim, it being open to the parties , as well of course to the dis- senting registered creditors , to prosecute their demands in any competent Court .

11. Second Godairy. (Godairy is'a very different place. It was first visited by Colonel Campbell some twelve years ago , and, being very central ก ศ well as tolerably healthy, it was at once selected by him as a permanent station for a portion of his force . He appropriated some three or four acres of ground near the village, which is a large place on the banks of the main stream of the Bonsadhara River, with supplies of all kinds available ; and there he constructed a Guard -house, a small one- roomed Bungalow for the occasional visits of an Officer, with other conveniences . We left a guard of Sebundy here consisting of 1 Havildar , 2 Naiques , and 12 Privates , which will keep a con- stant surveillance over the surrounding country . It is an excellent situation. Being within two marches of Gunapur with an open country between it can readily be reached from that place , which will be the head -quarters of the armed Reserve in these parts, and is as easily accessible to the Agent orhis Assistants from the other side of the ghaut .

12. Description of Goduiry Taluq . The Godarry Chief is a member of the Rajah's family . His father was the brother of the present Rajah's grandfather, who granted this brother two very extensive Taluqs , (Godairy and Nowrungapoor, in Jeypore proper, both free of quit-rent. Sri- Chaitan Deo , the present Chief, as the eldest mem- ber of the Jey pore family, now living, is treated with universal respect. He is between 50 and 60 years old, possessed of considerable intelligence, and with a character marked with but few of the vices characteristic of his class .

8. The Soura Tribes near fiunapur .-At Guna- pur I heard great complaints of the thievish habits of the Soura tribes on the Hills dividing Gunapur from Pedda Kimedy. They are not dacoits , but very expert burglars , if the term can be applied to digging a hole in the night through a mud wall . discovered and hard pressed they do not hesi- tate to discharge their arrows, which they do with unerring aim, and always with fatal result. Three or four murders have been perpetrated by these people in this way since the country has been under our management. I arranged with the Superintendent of Police to station a party of the armed Reserve in the ghaut leading to the Soura country. One or two cases of seizure and con- viction will suffice to put a check to the crime.

9. Aspect of country bryond Gunupur. North of the five Talugs to which Guuapur gives its name,

From the information given to me by hisMana- gers it appears that the Godairy Talny , compris- ing the four Muttas of Deppagudda, Navera, Jalanidhi , and Burukudu , consists of seventy- six [ 225 ]

who served many years in Central India , observed that he had seen nothing like it in the Nermal jungles or in the forests of the Nerbudda. But bad as it is , it is not so bad as the ghauts and jungle be- tween Godairy and Rayabiji and between the latter place and Bijipur, if we may trust the account given by some of our party , who, from one of those mistakes which always occur at the outset of undertakings like this, were taken by the guides straight off from Godairy to Rayabija instead of to Bijipur .

villages, seventy of which are assessed to the revenue, three held frce by Brahmins , one dedicated to a Temple, and two in the enjoyment of the Chieftain's relatives. His income from these lands comes to Rupees 5,850 a year in money , besides 21 garces of grain. Over and above these seventy villages there are as many more of independent Khonds. The villagos are rented for three or five years to one of the principal Ryots ; and the renter, whoever he is , is always considered the Patro or Maggi (headman) of the village, performing the duties without extra emoluments of any kind. The office is frequently held for generations by the same family, for there is a disposition not to disturb those once in if it can be avoided . Each village , too, has its serf or vetty, but in very few cases is there any land attached to the office, which is remunerated by feos in grain by the general community .

13. The Mohturfa still collected. The morn- ing after my arrival at Godairy I luckily fell in with some Telugu traders , who have been ad- venturous enough to establish themselves in those Hills, and obtained a great deal of information from them . They complained bitterly of the con- tinued existence of the Mohturfa Tax . We understand, they said, " that it has been abolished throughout the Vizagapatam District, and even in the Gunupuran Taluqs of Jevpore held under attachment by the Sirkar. In short, the beams of Sri Koompanee's sun have shone in every place, but not in these highlands ." It appears that the privileges of retailing salt, oil , and tobacco by sale are yearly put up to public auction, and the sys- tem is extended to such petty articles as beads (which are highly prized by the Khonds and lower classes generally) and metal dishes . There is also a house tax on traders and an annual levy of eight annas on every pack bullock. The licensed dealer in salt pays as much as Rupees 250 per annum, and the other sume are in proportion . Persons ventur- ing to sell these commodities without a license are fined, and harassed in a variety of ways familiar to those parts of India, where the sun of Sri Koompanee' has never shone.

16. Shyness of Khonds . Bijipur is the centre of a Muttah of nine Khond villages , and is includ- ed in the Godairy Taluq belonging to Chaitan Deo . At this and other places on our route, at which the Meriah Agency anannually halted for a few days , we found a great difference in the bear- ing of the Khonds . They seemed glad , or at any rate not averse to see us, and readily furnished us with straw, firewood , &c ., on payment . Nor was there displayed any timidity in visiting us in large parties at these central places . But if, as occa- sionally happened , we halted for a few hours at any other place, the village was instantly deserted. Not ahuman being nor a single head of cattle remained . For the consternation we created we might have been the advancing column of a hostile force . The same if we came across a party of Khonds in the jungle, they ran off into the forest like startled deer . This is incidental perhaps to the disposition of savages ; but after years of friendly intercourse it does wear a somewhat disheartening appearance. 17. Our mode with them . Our mode with the Khonds was this : We invited all comers to our tents and , after inquiring with interest after the state of the crops and the health of their children and cattle, examined them strictly with regard to the practice of Meriah . They all declared with great apparent sincerity that they had utterly abjured and renounced the rite, offering animal sacrifices in its place, and that not a single human boing had been immolated for upwards of ten years . We enjoined them to continue true to their pledges , and then distributing a little cloth, tobarco, some strings of beads , and a few Rupees, dismissed them to their villages .

18. Meriah discontiued for many years.-I an of opinion that their statement as to the disconti- nuance of the Meriah, endorsed as it is by the universal testimony of all intelligent men whom I have enquired of in these parts, may be safely accepted as true. Colonel Campbell , indeed, declared the prac- 14. At once prohibited by Governor's Agent. I immediately wrote to Chaitan Deo prohibiting the collection of these exactions in future ; and I further proclaimed them to be at an end by beat of tom-tom in the hazars of Godairy. I also took measures to establish a weekly fair at that place, to be held in a tope adjacent to the Bungalow and Guard-houses con -tructed by Officers of the Meriah Agency, which will now be occupied by a small party, the armed Reserve of the Vizagapatam Police Force. The practice of holding fairs is universal in the District , but has been discouraged here by the local Chief for obvious reasons con- nected with the illegal measures of finance above described.

See Precis , page 10 . "After ten consecutive years ars of intercourse with all these tribes it is my confirmed opiniou that, if the same degree of surveillance be not kept up , they will without fail revertto human sacrifices , and that no unaided efforts on the part of any sub- ordinates on even of the Rajah will be able to prevent it Per- sonal influence and local know lodge , not only of the tubes , but of their language, vill alone have any effect on the Khonds Captain Me Veill , page 20 of Collection and Precis .

tive to have ceased amongst the Jespore khonds in his Report of for the season 1833. Ile, however, at the same time strongly advocated the tem of yearly visitations by the European Oticers of Government , and it would appear from the latest Report of the last Special Agent that this periodical

supervision is no less necessary now than then . 1 quote his language in the margin.

15. From Godairy to third Khond District, Diji- pur. The Godairy Muttah contains a consi- derable Khond population . We devoted three days to interview. with the headmen and others from these villages , and then passed on to Bijipur, north north -east , distant two marches . Soon after leaving Godairy we ascended an inconsiderable ghaut, at the foot of which lay a fine valley per- haps four miles long .

Description of Khond village and cultiva- duties, can ever hope to rival the Officers of the late Meriah Agency either in the time they can afford to the supervision of the Khonds, or in the special acquirements which years of training, directed to one single end , were so well calculated to foster.

20. Their accomplishments as Linguists These able, experienced, and truly devoted Officers found time, it is believed , to acquire , in some cases , a very thorough , in all , a very sufficient, knowledge both of the Uriya and of the Khond dialects . This we canhardlyhope to do under the most favorable circumstances, and I own it was with extreme discomfort that I felt obliged to have recourse to interpreters everywhere at my side .

tion. For the first three miles wo passed through a level fertile country, with two or three villages here and there. I may here describe the appear- auce of a Khond village . It consists of two streets, each with a double row of huts . One is occupied by the Khonds, and the other by a class of people equivalent to our southern " Pariahs," called " Paidi," who are weavers by profession, supplying the Khonds for payments in grain with the coarse cloth worn by them . The huts are well built, the walls consisting of posts of timber placed close together and daubed with mud, and the roofs well thatched . In some cases the vil- lages are stockaded , in others surrounded with a slighter protection of wattled bamboos . Within these enclosures, on one side the cattle are folded at night, and on the other the women and children raise vegetables , chillies , tobacco, and other garden produce . Outside, wherever ajungle stream is available, rice is grown ; otherwise a level piece of forest is burnt , a fire being kindled at the root of every considerable tree and the brushwood cleared by the axe . The fires are not kept up longer than is necessary to destroy the bark of the tree , which is then left to its fate, and culti- vation is immediately commenced . In these places we principally saw dholl and the castor oil plant, and occasionally patches of cotton, of which, it appears , each Khond grows enough for his own household. After the lapse of a few years , when the soil shews symptoms of exhaustion , a fresh site is selected for clearing , and jungle once more covers the first .

21. Time to try Roads , Fairs , & c. If, then, after years of friendly and immediate intercourse with the Khond races, the Officers of the late Meriah Agency, in taking leave of them , have expressed afirm conviction that these people are not yet weaned from a hankering after this brutal rite, and are only restrained from its practice by the repeated and systematic visitation of European officials , it occurs to ask whether it would not be as well to try something else concurrently with the maintenance of these annual tours . It might be time now to try what can be done to civilize them by opening roads, clearing the jungle, estab- lishing weekly fairs at all the principal villages in the Taluq, and the like. When an entire com- munity are thrown into an ecstacy of happiness, and commence to dance for joy, as these amiable savages did before me at sight of a string of beads aud (rarer still) a few yards of red cloth , articles readily procurable at the commonest Indian bazar , it might be good policy to take means to place such luxuries more universally within their reach , and so work as a lever for their civilization the ' expulsive force of a new affection. If a sum of Rupees 2,000 could be placed at my disposal I would undertake to give a very good account of it by this time next year, so that we should not longer be constrained to go through the jungles in

27. Route to Chandrapur . After passing the village of Khillidi , three miles from Bijipur, we came to a ghaut the ascent of which was the next thing to the perpendicular, and which may be a mile and a quarter in length ; at the top we found ourselves on a plateau , which extended for a mile and a half up to the village of Chotragam, when we again went down;; but up again once more to perhaps the same level till we came to Chandrapur . From Chotragam to Chandrapur we were crossing an extensive but irregular valley , and within a hundred yards of the latter place we crossed a river flowing south. The distance between the two villages may be six or seven miles ; it is very heavy jungle the whole way .

Indian file as at present. 22-3 . NecessityNecessity ofof thoroughthor annual visitations. I trust the Government will please to give orders that every one of these seven Khond Muttahs of Jeypore be yearly visited by the Governor's Agent or one of his Assistants. It is not more than can he accomplished in a few weeks . We cannot do more perhaps at present than visit the head - quarters of each Muttah and there invite the Khonds to a conference, but we should not do less than this . Even now many of the Khonds came from consi- derable distances , and if the Agent visits one or two Muttahs only the Khonds of the remaining Muttahs will certainly not come in, and being left without surveillance , a bad season or a mur- rain amongst their cattle will induce them once more to propitiate their gods with the blood of human victims .

28. Description of Chandrapur.-Chandrapur itself is a small Hindu Colony. Some twenty years ago the Jeypore Rajah sent one of his peons up here with permission to cultivate free of rent as much ground as he cared to clear, and to take any tribute he could extract from the neighbouring Khonds . The man came up with twenty adherents and their families , and the village is now a very thriving one ; but nothing has been got from the Khonds , who continue in all their ancient indepen- dence. They acknowledge the Jeypore Rajah and respect his local representative ; but they contribute nothing to the fise, unless it be a few chickens and buuches of plantains at the Dasahara .

21. Biyupur. Nine Khond hamlets . Bijipur is under Chaitan Deo of Godairy . He has a Patro here, an Uriya peon, who superintends the nine Khond villages comprising the Muttah, each vil- Lauge paying a trifling annual tribute to the Patro , who again pays something to Chitan Deo.

29. Itsformerformer lawless state. There are twelve villages here , and it was formerly a very trouble- some Muttah . They had the audacity to turn out in great force and attack Colonel Campbell's camp , but twelve years have made a great change . They came in very willingly to see us when summoned by the Patro for that purpose .

. Chandrapur, Fourth Khond District . On leaving Bijipur we went one march to Chandrapur, lying due north . It is not marked in the Trigono- metrical Survey Map , but its situation is just two miles below the large Khond village of Bandari , marked " Bundaree" in the map . In Scott's large [ 227 ]

The furthest Jeypore village, they told us , lay six kos ( 12 miles) beyond Bundarce .

30. Route to Rayabiji . Leaving Chundrapur we marehed 10 or 12 miles south-west to Raya- biji; jungle all the way, in great part bamboo . Our road was tolerably level, and we crossed what we supposed to be the same river again at the foot ofthe village of Rayabiji .

perceptible amongst the townspeople . Every third man is one of the Rajah's servants and swaggers about with a sword . In the centre of the town is a good sized Gymnasium, where these fellows wrestle and box and perform feats of " Khusrut " generally. I hope our higher rates of pay and other privileges will tempt some of them to enter the Police. Finer young men I never saw.

34. Route to Durgi , seventh Khond District.- From Bissemcuttack we marched 15 miles toDurgi . This route is described in Scott's Road Book , No. 91, whose accounts I transcribe.-" Road passes through defiles and gorges between detached masses of an irregular chain of hills . It is a broad beaten bullock tract, but presents consider- able difficulty for carts ; jungle all the way. " I endorse this description. I made particular in- quiries and learnt that a cart has never been seen either at Durgi or at Bissemcuttack. 35. Condition of sixth and seventh Districts gene-

It comprises 106 Khond villages , divided into six Muttahs. There are twelve other villages in the hands of Uriya Patros, one Patroto each Khond Muttah , about one-half of the Khond householders pay their Patros a Rupee each annually, and a putty of grain. The rest pay nothing at all, excepting a trifling offering on the occasion of a change ofof Patros ,Patros , whichwhich ononly happens by the occurrence of death . The next of kin then goes to Jeypore, presents his Nuzzer to the Rajah , who gives hun a bracelet, a sword, or turban, and formally invests him with the vacant office . On his return to his Muttah the Khonds go through the ceremony of paying him homage, and each man contributes a buffalos, a sheep, or a cow according to his means . The office of Patro is always hereditary , and instances have been known of the Khonds deserting their villages and retiring into the denser forests of Orissa in search of a fresh habitation when the rule has been departed from. The connection has now subsisted for many generations with good feeling on both sides, and these savages dread a change.

32. Route to Brasemcuttack. From Rayabiji we proceeded in due course to Bissemcuttack , 30 miles to the west, halting at Donjasurada and Kutragadda. The jungle was lighter ; the ghauts not considerable. Between Donjasurada and Kut- ragadda we crossed the Vansadhavra River three times . Near Bissementtack the villages lay pretty closely together ; the cultivation appeared to be carried on with great industry, and several fine Mango topes cam into view . We were told that we have now kit the Kotiya or Mountaineer Khonds behind us, and that we were now in the country of the lieshya or onter Khonds .

(Bissemcuttack and Durgi) there are but eighteen Kotiya * Khond villages; they all lie in Bissemcuttack. The population in both Taluqs is chiefly Khond , but there is a very little difference between them and the Ryots of the rest of the District . In the highlands every Khond carries an axe and a bow and arrows , and goes always bareheaded and with little or no clothing on the rest of his body. I don't think I saw three turbans during the whole of my tour , and this were presents by the ents by the late Meriah Agent . Here in these outer Taluqs the Khond is dressed very much like other Indian cultivators , and lethal weapons are laid aside for the ordinary Ryot's staff. Like other Khonds they are known to have practised Meriah, but the injunction to discontinue the rite was at once obeyed without shew of resistance . It appears indeed from the accounts of the late Agency Officers , and from what was admitted in my own hearing , that the entire population of the country, both Khonds and Hindu colonists, par- ticipated, more or less , directly in offering human sacrifices. The whole countryside frequented the sceno of the encrifice as they would a fair or other spectacle . The Hindu Patros or Headman actually presented the sacrificial knife, for which the Priest paid a small fee. In 1851 , when the Jeypore country was in a very disturbed state and an encounter imminent between the forces of the

Rajah and those of his feuda- tory, the Tát Zemindar, Colo- nel Campbell found that the latter had purchased a young boy, who was kept in confinement, ready to be offered up to Manick- soro, the God of War, so soon as hostilities actually cominenced. All this is changed now ; thanks to the efforts and exertions of Colonel Page 7 of Colleo- tion and Precis .

In 1854, when there was a Meriah sacrificed at Rayabiji , and the khonds of Bissemcuttack were furtively sending anessages to procure morsels of fish to buy in their tields as a pleasing tribute to " Tari Pennu, " the great earth goddess , the Tút Raja sent for them and threatened to shoot down with his peons any person asho ventured to leave the country on such an errtnd; and he shewed us with much pride a double barrelled title , which had been pre ented to him , through the Agency Officers , in sppreciation of this achievesa

Description of Bissemruttack, the sirth Khond District, Bissementtack is the capital of the Tút Rajah , or the Rijah at the head of the Military Force of Jeypore . The family has been here for seven or eight generations, the first comer having had this frontier Taluq granted to him on terms of service by his Chief. The service has now been commuted into a yearly tribute of Rupees 2,500 ; besides which , when specially called upon to do so, the feudatory is expected to accompany the Sure rain with a numerous retinue on his travels . The last occasion of lus doing so was during the visit paid by the present Raith of Jeypere to the Rajah of Vizianagram in 1859. The Tát Rajah then came forward with a rabble of 500 men . By enote he is a Srishti Karnan , a race which in this part of the country is extremely warlike, though in Rajah- mundry andand eveneveninin the lower, Talugs of Vuzaa- putam they are known only as good Accountants and bustling traders.

With but few exceptions the vil- lage communities are entirely Khond ; but , as already stated, there are but eighteen Kotiya Khond villages, and these all lie in the Ambodala Muttah. All these villages pay a certain mámúl sum of money to their respectivePatros , who are invariably renters under the Zemindar. Besides this each village contributes a sheep, and each householder a Rupee , at the Dasa- hara to the Raja direct . At the head of each Muttah is a Patro responsible for the whole . He has lands conditioned for feudal service, and is expected to pay his respects to the Zemindar once ayear with his peons when he presents a Nuzzer ,

and gets a cloth in return . The Jamabandi of the Taluq is set down at Rupees 6,500 , but it must be a great deal more . The Zemindar has also considerable private demesne an 1 numerous gardens . The produce of the Taluq includes paddy, turme

Going from Paikipodo to Singapore we had occasion to cross the Nagávali River three or four times, the banks of which are very precipitous . But after this, with the excoption of a troublesome defile before you getto Shikarpoy , our road lay through a very level and open country. Singapore itself is surrounded on three sides by river, and is entirely shut out from view by a dense jungle of bamboo , North of the town there is a fair encamping ground . We stayed here two days It is the residence of a Zemindar , a relative of the Jeypore Rajah. He pays no q rit-rent , and has been hitherto alınost suprome in his own Taluq . Some Brinjar- ries I met down at Parvatipur told me that this petty chieftain still leviel a transit Duty on traders , and handed me in proof thereof a cauljan leaf receipt granted to them a month or two before, setting forth that they had paid the instalment payable on going down to the coast . I of course at once wrote to the Zemindar prohibiting this levy , and I determined to visit him in the course of my tour . He pleaded ignorance of the order of Government in the matter , which , it seems , was not furnished to him by the Rajah of Jeypore. He is a young man of eighteen years of age only . He will not repeat the offence, and I am of opinion that his excuse may be accepted ; but this is only one instance out of many : how necessary it is for the European Officers of Government to make regular visitations into every part of their charge .

ric, oil seeds of all kinds , tobacco, and sugar- cane . The last is grown in twelve villages only by a race of thirty Uriya cultivators, called Máli.' The jaggery, together with grains and oil seeds, is sent as far as Parvatipur and even Bobbili to the south , or rather Komaties and Uriya Brahmins come from thence and export it on pack bullocks . In the same way tobacco is exported to the Nagpore country . A great deal of business is done by bar- ter. The Nagporeans bring iron , and the souther ners cloths and salt. A measure of salt will here fetch 5 measures of produce. There is no lac here , as I was led to expect, and no dammer . For the latter , the Brinjarries are said occasionally to pane- trate to the less remote villages of the highland Khond tracts . I shall take means to establish a weekly fair at this place.

40. Other illegal ceases throughout Jeypore country. I may here mention another matter ofthe same kind. It appears that every Zemindar in the country following the example of the Jeypore Rajah sells licenses permitting the holders to assume the sacred thread common to the upper classes ; to use the sectarial marks smeared by Ilindus on their foreheads ; to wear bracelets of the precious metals ; and even to use an umbrella , provided always that it is of calico ; for I must do them the justice to say that that there is no extra charge where the article is of Palmyra leaf only . If it were only that parties think themselves honored by being a Rajah's umbrella and the like, this, however absurd and irrational, would be no ground of complaint; the gist of which of course is that no person declining to pay down his fee is allowed to avail himself of any of these privileges. man

Ihave sent a circular letter to each potentate, explaining the privileges of the subject in these matters, and notifying that their people are not to be harassed ia fature in respect thereof.

37. Number of villages , &c . , in Durgi . DURGI.- This has a sinall Muttah of thirty- six villages- twenty -six of these Khond. The country contains no Kotiya Khonds however, and in other respects the remarks made on the Bissemcuttack Taluq are applicable to this . It is presided over by an Uriya Rajput, the hereditary Patro ; he pays Rupees 600 to the Jeypore Rajah and acknowledges to Rupees 400 ( over and above the produce of some lands in his own cultivation) as his net income . The vil- lages being so few in number he looks after them all himself, each village making up the customary sum without the intervention of a renter .

38. Route to Kayagadıda valley . From Durgi I moved my camp across the ghauts to the west and entered the Rayagadda valley, the socond or ( includ- ing the Khond tract) the third natural division of the Jeypore territory.

Here, as in the BissementtackBissementtack valley, the great bulk of the population is Khond, but ill further removed from larbatiem . There are 105 Khond villeges , six of Malis , and seven of other Uriyas , Lesides there are right villages held free by Brahmins , and 33 Mokhasas charged with furnishing 200 peens . The Zemindar's income s given at Rupees 5,000 and odd. The revenue system is much the same as in Bissemouttack .

Indeed , the aspect of this valley is inall Our first stage was Paikipodo, 18 miles . It is not in the Trigonometrical Survey Map , but is situated about 5 miles north- west of 'Bhaminy .'

50. Bungalow required at Rayabiji. At Godairy we left a guard , and to Rayabiji one will shortly be pushed forward. At this latter place it would be very desirable to have a rough Bungalow for the Agent or Officer of Police, in case his presence should be suddenly required there, such as has been sanctioned for numerous places in Ganjam . Awell need not be dug as there is a river close by .

Brinjarries than the other . But the expense of its construction would be so trifling that hope that the other road would receive simultaneous sanction . Bissemcuttack being so close to the inner Khonda a road would be every thing for the civilization of these people. Both roads unite at Joonagoodda, the capital of Kalahundy , and the route is then one to Raipore, the capital of the Chutteesgurh

Division of Nagpore . Those works would naturally come under the Department of Public Works.

51. Comforts for the sick in Camp. This is all the additional outlay I propose . Two Sepoys' tents should be allowed for the guard accompanying the Governor's Agent on these tours, and six Hospital doolies for the conveyance of the sick . The Apo- thecary in charge should further be allowed to indent for a smsmall quantity of wine . The conva- lescent rallied wonderfully under the stimulus of a few reapsional glasses of Port Wine ; but it was not from the Government stores . I feel sure that it will not be begrudged to fever - stricken men serving in this perilous climate, any more than it is to Sepoys serving in the field.

52. Contingent expenses of Tour. The contin- gent expenses of the tour amounted to Rupees 237-9 . The Khond headmen , the rescued Meriahs , " Government children" as they greatefully call themselves , the country peons who accompanied us from one Muttah to another, all expected tri- fling presents, and it will be desirable occasionally to give a silver bracelet or anklet to the Uriya Patros presiding over each Muttah. Such was the practice of the late Agency, and we must not go backward, especially at the outset.

53. Annual grant for clearing roads . Further remarks on Police. Necessity of Village Watch- men . But what is pincipally required is a small annual grant for clearing the jungle and opening up roads. I have adverted to this in paragraph 21 supra. Rupees 2,000 will not , I hope, be con- sidered an immoderate yearly outlay for the pre- sent . The people of the country would contract for the work with the Agency Officers direct , as proposed by Mr. Robinson for the Ganjam Maliahs .Malia This is all have to say of the Khonds. For the occupation of the rest of the country I have ar- ranged with the Superintendent of Police as fol- lows :-

55. Another Sub - Magistrate required. Finally I must ask the Government for a second Sub -Ma gistrate, whom I would station at Rayagadda.. Gunapur is an important town , and it is very well situated for all that side of the country. But no single station, place it where you will , will suffice for this enormous division of the District , a divi- sion which it has taken me exactly six weeks to inspect , though I have never halted more than two or three days at one place , and have constantly marched eighteen miles a day for three days con- secutively in order to pass with expedition from one important place to another . I shall add no more, for I have written to very little purpose if the magnitude and importance of the charge are not felt by Government to justify the cost of a second Sub -Magistrate . Both Sub-Magistrates should be invested with the power of a First Class Sub - Magistrate , or every cuse not trivial will have to be sent out of the division to be tried by an European Officer with full powers, a great hardship on the prosecutor , witnesses, and Con- stabulary . I find that there is little or no traffic between this and Jeypore Proper , and that Parva- tipur on the Vizagapatam frontier is the place to which every body resorts . I intend therefore that that place shallbe the head - quarters of the Senior Assistant ; and the Supetintendent of Police , en- tirely concurring with me in my view of the im- portance of the town, is about to move the head- quarters of his First European Assistant to it . I must here ask sanction for a road between Parva- tipur and Gunapur . At present it is very bad indeed , quite impassable for carts, and the general route is down by Palconda, through the ghauts into the Ganjam District, and so up the Parla Kimedy Road, which goes to the Gaujam frontier , Buttelee, five miles fromGunapur .

The Junior Assistant and the Second Enropean Assistant of Police will have quite enough on their hands in Jeypore Proper, which estimated to con- tain 5,000 square miles of country , and from con- stant border frays and other causes is by no moans the settled country which this division of Jeypore appears , on the whole, to be.

Cor- responding posts from Singapore all down the Rayagadda Road , and on the road leading from Parvatipur through Alamandah and Narayanapa- tam . This will keep open these lines of road . But a Constabulary is nothing without a subsidiary force of Village Police, and this outlay must be met at once . Every village has its vettyman, but he is the servant of the community only and is paid as they please with grain. These people are of the Paidi class already described, and from them we must select our Village Police . The division con- tains 1,370 villages , and if we allow one to every tive, and give each man two Rupees a month, the sum monthly- Rupees 548. This expense is ab- solutely necessary for efficiency of administration .

54. Two roads very desirable . If the Bissem- cuttack and Rayagadda routes could be made into decent road for cart traffic, so as to connect the first with Battelce of Ganjem , and the other with Parvatipur in our own District , from both of which places there are excellent roads to the coast , these Districts soon be as flourishing as any part of Vizarapan. Both roada are important ; the Rayagadda is the more frequented by

the fifth stage the countrybe- tween the ridges of ghant is open and well culti- vated , but with this exception our journey here lay through as wild and difficult a country as any we have passed through . On leaving Jagannadpur we crossed the Indravatty not far from its source, yet rufts were found necossary, for even here it is a deep streain with steep banks . A little to the north of the town there is a tolerable ford.

[ 231 ]

Wehalted two days at Naurangpur , the resi- dence of the Zemindar Chaitanaitan Deo, who , as already mentioned, holds this estate and that of Godairy in the Khond tract .

57. Naurangpur Estate, The Naurangpur Estate consists of 124 villages, besides six held on favorable tenure by Brahmins and others . The Jamabundi for the whole, according to the accounts furnished me, is Rupees 4,089 in money , and Rupees 8,113 in grain.

The system of management is nearly the same as that at Godairy. Here the people begin to change from Khonds to a class called Porazas . Meriah' has never been known.

61. Interview with Rajah . Three principal topicstopics discussed . Necessity of Village Police . At Jeypore I stayed a week and had frequent inter- views with the Rajah. He is about 30 years old. I found him by no means the boor he had been represented to be ; on the contrary he is superior both in manners and intellect to what mightbe expected of one with his limited opportunities to cultivate the one or the other. His Dewan is a very sensible man ; but his efforts at reform are very generally frustrated by the machinations of a crowd of parasites hanging about the Chief. These men I advised the Rajah to discharge and to attend to his own affairs with the assistance of the Dewan alone .

Besides this and other advise , too obvious for detailed report , the conversation turned on three principal points-

58. Route to Kotapad. From Naurangpur we made two marches to Kotapad. I may say of this plateau, thirtymiles long and perhaps twenty broad, extending from JagJagannadpur to Kotapad, that it is as fine a country as one would desire to see . It is one mass ofpaddy fields ; the cultivation is not fed from tanks , but is dependent on the rains . Near the Indravatty wells are sunk for the culti- vation of sugar -cane . We noticed also fine fields ofwheat and of Bengal gram.

I. I insisted that he should lessen the number of his armed retainers . He seemed glad to be ordered to do so, and promised early compliance . Many of these men are paid in land, and in their case it is desirable that the full rent should be gradually required of them, the condition of service being of course dispensed with.

59. Report on ike Kotapad dispute between Joy pore and Bustar. Kotapad is the chief village in the five Taluqs of that name, which have been so long in dispute between Jeypore and Bustar . Immediately on receiving, through your Office, the

II. I spoke to him about his step -brother, Madya Yuva Ráz . The history Page 27. of this ill - conditioned young manwill be found in my Precis . He lives at Gunapur and draws from his brother through this Agency a monthly allowance of 500 Rupees . He has always been pressing for land in lieu of money. I sounded the Rajah on this point, but found him extremely unwilling to concede it. It appears to be entirely a matter for the Rajah's consideration . Very few Zemindars care to alienate any portion of their lands ; and it wouldbe extremely harsh to press Jeypore (with large existing alienations and with an income under a lae and a quarter) to do so in favor of a relative who never ceases to intrigue against him; and who . in less settled times, at temptedto accomplish his ends at the point of the

sword. III. I alluded to the alleged existence of the 'Meriah rite' in the more civilized portions of his Zemindary. It has been repeatedly stated by the Officers of the late Meriah Agency that influential Hindus of Jeypore secretly practice this rite , and that there is even reason to believe that the present

Further, these Officers assetied that the Rajah and his Chiefs retain in their services great numbers of professional robbers , called Khongárs , whom they employ, within the Joypore country and in the plains, on expeditions of rapine and bloodshed.

order of the Supreme Government , approving the suggestion I had the honor to make that the affray between Jeyporeansand Bustar might be settled with advantage by this Agency , I instructed Lieutenant. Smith, Assistant Agent at Jeypore, to proceed himself to Kotapad to issue proclamations to the Bustar people to come forward with their com- plaints and to commit the accused to my Court on my arrival at Kotapad if a prima facie case against them were made out. Lieutenant Smith was twelve days at Kotapad, but nobody came forward. Bustar is now taken up by the Police the Centralentral Provinces , and there is a small force at Tarapur under an intelligent East Indian Inspector (Stewart ) who assisted Lieutenant Smith incirculating his Notification. Every facility was thus afforded to persons desirous of redress ; and of the their silence now leads to the belief either that no lives were lost on the occasion of this border fray , or that the parties have compromised the matter in the interim . With the possession of these lands secured by the Governor General's decision to Jey. pore, and a Police Force established on both sides of the border, I anticipate hearing no more of these feuds , the more so that death has removed from the seene the leader of the faction against the Jeyporeans , Dalganjari Singh Lal , a very turbulent character , the uncle and Dewan of the Bustar Rajah. There is a mud Fort at Kotapad of considerable extent , and great part of the town lies within it . I have arranged with the Jeypore Rajah gradually to reduce the numbers of the peons he maintains at his frontier post, and he appeared quite willing to do so in the present posi-

I can get on. Doctor Elliot insists that unless the pits and tanks are filled in the whole labor will be thrown away. Accordingly, an effort will be made to do this, but I agree with you that it will be found impossible to complete it before 1870 .

On Tuesday I appointed a Mohurir on Rupees 15 a month, who is performing his work very efficiently and satisfactorily . To-day Mr. Erming , of the Public Works Department , reported himself. I shall leave to him the more immediate superin- tendence of theeneighbouring, and myself with the aid of the Mohurır shall be able to complete the work at Baraset .

From H L. HARRISON , ESQ. , Assistant Magistrate of Bara set, to the Magistrato of the 24- Pergunnahs,-(No. 145 , dated the 29th April 1863.)

208. I HAVE the honor to request the favor of your giving me some definite information at your earliest convenience as to the Through want of Coolies no works have yet been commenced in any other places, but at Baraset a good announcement has been made , and the entire town will be clearedby the end of May at the latest .

amount of Government aid on which I can rely in conducting the works around Baraset. In a day or two I or two I hope to have 300 or 400 Coolics at work, re - digging and cleaning tanks and cleaning out drains . Of course my intention is to recover by far the greater portion of the expense from the owners on whose land and for whose benefit they work , but in recovering this delay must frequently Lieutenant Hills and Dr Elliot have been here to-day, and have undertaken to send 500 Coolies down here in there days . If I get these [ 239 ]

occur, while, if I have not a constant supply of ready money, the Coolies will strike and the works stand still . It is therefore very essential for me to know what amount I can rely on as a working balance . I should be greatly aided if you could let me draw on you for a further sum of Rupees 200 at once . Baraset itself is progressing well, and I feel hopeful of being able to bring it into a good state before the rains, but with regard to the neighbouring villages I am by no means sanguine , the task is so immense. In Majorgram I am going to commence at once , the greater part of your Boona Coolies will be sent there when they arrive. As Sections 308 , 314 of the Code of Cri minal Procedure are being universally made use of, and as acting on these Sections it may in several instances be expedient to fine the owners under Section 188 of the Penal Code, I am desirous to know whether it would be permissible to add the amount of such fines to the funds for removing the nuisances , &c . Such a course I think both rea- sonable and equitable, but I am afraid that with out a special permission it cannot be done . If you approve of this proposal , may I request that you will endeavor to obtain the permission at once, as it will very greatly facilitate my efforts .

From H. L. HARRISON, EAQ. , Assistant Magistrate of Bara . set, to the Magistrate of the 24- Pergunnahs,- ( No. 152, dated the 5th May 1863 )

I HAVE the honor to forward my second weekly Report of the progress of the measures which are being taken to remove the epidemic.

is In Baraset everything is proceeding well ; it too late in the year to re-dig many tanks, but one important tank is being re -dug , and there is another very good tank in the town . These two will be preserved for drinking purposes only, so that there will be a good supply of water for who take the trouble to fetch it . all

fluous trees and bamboos are also being cut down , and the work is progressing well . I have also at Doctor Elliot's advice engaged men to turn up the soil where the jungles have been cut and draining has commenced ; in fact , I have 300 Coolies of all descriptions at work ( including those cutting the tank under Contract) , and I receive very great assistance from the several Members of the Branch British Indian Association and other inhabitants . I have great hopes of satisfactorily completing the work here, as regards Baraset itself and its adjacent Mohullas . Unfortunately , I regret to say that I have little or no hope of accomplishing any thing satisfactorily in any of the other villages . I have issued Am . Perwannahs , and also a great number of Special Perwannahs on the occupiers , but I have no Coolies to send there and no means of ade- quately superintending them if sent . During the past week I have in person visited two of the villages , Rungopore and Majorgram , but I can wellsee see that the time is too short ,too short , the work too extensive , and the difficulty of finding Coolie too great to allow ine to hope that I can accomplish anything beyond what the inhabitants can be prevailed on to do for themselves . Mr. Ewing , a Public Works Overseer, has been here since Satur- day, the 25th April , and I have stationed him at Majorgram, but he does not understand the work , and though he has been here ten days he has not succeeded in procuring any Coolies or in com- mencing any works of any description whatever . If these villages are to be cleared on any large scale it is absolutely indispensable that a Special Officer should be deputed here , but I am privately of opinion that by attempting too much every- thing would be badly done . If this year Baraset is well cleared , something like Jessore was several years ago, and if the result is a clear and decisive improvement of health of the inhabitants , then there will be little difficulty in prevailing on the neighbouring villages to imitate its examples next year, and the work can be commenced early in November or December . In that case whatever can be done to mitigate the sickness shall be done, but I will continue to direct my efforts as at present towards bringing Baraset into a proper condition .

The remainder of the tanks and dobbas , which cannot easily be filled in, are being cleared of weeds and jungles, and every description of vegetation removed from their banks . By this means I hope that the malaria emanating from them will be in agreat measure stayed . The jungles and super- orders .

But as a rule this portion of the work must be let alone for the presunt season, as to do anything effectually will be a work of magnitude and time. 9. Any one acquainted with the habits and internal economy of a Bengalee village is aware that no arrangement whatever exists in its forma- tion . Each individual raises his house where he likes, and drainage is never thought of. The houses are for the most part made of mud ; the holes caused by the removal of the earth for the con- struction of the walls of the house are never filled up . During the rains they are filled with water, which after a time stagnates , and which , however filthy its condition may be, the inmates of the house insist on using , owing to its propinquity to their houses . From these causes tanks or deep holes of all sizes having more or less water exist cutting and removing of jungle and the for- mation of roads and commondrains in the villages marginally Moorutpore.

every twenty or thirty yards. 10. It is awaste of time and money to proneed with those otherwise than by a properly organized system , and all we can do at present is to amelio- rate those which are simply poisonqus .

11. Pandooah , the village adverted to in your letter No. 1755, dated 15th April , has been tolera- bly cleared of jungle . The Executive Engineer, Mr. Rookę , has reported the natural drainage to be excellent, and there are several good broad roads through every part of the village. There is in this village no deficiency of passages for air .

4. On the west bank of the Hooghly I have as directed by Government superintended opera- tions myself. In the affected villages within the Pandooah , Hooghly, and Bansbaria Thannahs , the greater part of the jungles (+ ) has been cut and removed by the people themselves at their own expense. I think we have attained a very import- ant point, when the principle of each man clear- ing his own jungle is recognized , as then there is some chance of the affected localities being in future kept in a clean and healthy condition . Hud the cutting and removal of this jungle been done at the Government expense it would not have been effected nearly as promptly, would have cost several thousands of Rupees , caused intense grum- bling, and the people would never hereafter have been induced to do at their own expense what had

once been done at the expense of Government . 5. The precedent, I submit , would have been a dangerous one.

6. I have repeatedly visited those villages named

12. The tanks , or rather holes of water, are quite innumerable. What is to be done with them I have not as yet finally determined . I have caused all the graves to be battened down and well covered with earth . These graves are all over the place . The village is composed of a quantity of petty Ayma holdings, and there is no common Burial Ground , hence each dead man has been buried on the ground attached to the house he occupied when alive . I am in hopes of being able to make an arrangement for a public Maho- medan Burial Ground at Pandooah .

13. As an experiment , I have caused several wells to be sunk where eight or nine houses ave together . This will give the people pure water , (which at Pandooah is naturally excellent, ) to drink at their very thresholds , and if notwith- standing this they still persist in resorting to the stagnant holes , I think we may reasonably give up the idea of attempting to benefit such a pig- headed community .

The Public Works Department have not as yet " placed at my disposal several intelligent Overseers ," as commu- nicated in your letter No. 1788 , and I am much in need of them. Mr. Rooke was here for three days only when he had to leave for his other duties.

14. In the Hooghly District I have not at- tempted to collect local subscriptions . From a letter received from the British Indian Associa- tion I was of opinion that it would be preferable for me not in any way to interfere in the matter of collecting subscriptions but to leave that to be doneby the Association themselves .

(II . ) Because these tanks are mostly the pro- perty of several shareholders who are not to be found in the village being at Calcutta or various other places , and very often the interest in these tanks is very much sub -divided , and there is great difficulty in finding more than one or two of these shareholders; and these , moreover, are not able to undertake the work of digging a tank (supposing their willingness) without previous assurance of the co-operation and pecuniary assistance from their co - sharers with regard to the amount neces sary for the completion of the work, which is in many cases very expensive .

'Doubtless private generosity will do much ; but considering what there is to do ( and I have no hesitation in saying that none but those who have seen can conceive the amount) , and the short time there is to do it in, I would earnestly recommend the immediate passing of a short Act throwing the burden of the necessary works npon the Zemindars andVillagers , or else the introduction of a compulsory Act similar to the Municipal or Suburban Act into these Districts, giving power to the Officers to collect the funds by a rate or otherwise . I am aware that special legislation is looked on generally with disfavor, and that it were far better that the Villagers should depend on themselves , but considering the crisis at which things have arrived and the absolute necessity of some powerful intervention to prevent the further spreading of this scourge either in the Mofussil or towards Calcutta, whither it appears to be advancing , and remembering , too , that the example of one year's exercise of such power (though it be felt oppresive in a pecuniary sense, ) would shew the Zemindars and Villagers that if they will not do what is their duty, Government will insist upon their doing what is imperative, not only for themselves but for the preservation of public health . I would assuredly urge the pro- mulgation of some such Law .

week I have visited the villages of (III .) Because the work of digging out or filling a tank involves the expenditure of a consi- derable sum of money which they are not willing, and in some cases not able to afford , or even to command if they are willing to inour the expense individually . Added to this many men have more than one tank that it would be very advisable either to dig out or to fill in . I feel that I am representing this matter in a very strong light , but it is not unsupported by the facts . Moreover , though we may persuade many men individually to have their tanks re-dug or filled , if they can afford to do so, yet there will still remain much to be done, which, if it is to produce any thoroughly satisfactory result, must be the work of other than individualdual efforts . The money available from Government is, to speak plainly , utterly insufficient to supply this call ; in fact, it would not suffice for the cleansing of many single villages; but this point I shall notice later. Lieu- tenant Hills is considering a plan for the general drainage of the villages as a whole, but this must entirely depend upon the amount of money that I can authorize him to spend , and this again must depend upon the amount available from Government and the private generosity of the Zemindars. I need hardly, however, point out the delay that must necessarily elapse in collecting and realizing the latter , nor refer to the very short time that is available to us for the execution of anywork .

Goreefa, Chogdah , Kantalpara, and Vatpara, in addition to frequentfrequent inspections of those villages that I had already visited . The demolition of the jungle and rank injurious vegetation has been progressing fairly, andhere has produced a mark- ed difference in the aspect of the villages by the amount of light and air thus introduced . I think the Villagers themselves are beginning to appreciate the difference .

3rd. The drainage to some extent of the Villanes .- In concert with Lieutenant Hills I have decided to undertake a course of drainage founded upon Dr. Elliot's Report , viz ., the waysides are to be cut out, the pathway slightly raised, and then smaller drains carried into the tanks or large water - courses that already exist in the village. The result we hope will be that there will be no stagnant or fetid accumulation of water , and the tanks will be kept continually flushed by a fresh supply, due consideration being given to the outlet of superfluous water either into other tanks or into the River .

Finally, I have to give my present opinion, after my investigation , of the necessary steps to be taken . I do not wish to be prostimptuous when I say that we doubtless shall do much good , but that much will be but little in comparison with what is necessary, unless there is further power of carrying out whatever steps are necessary . We may be able to check any further incrense , and perhaps slightly diminish the present evil , butto produce any thoroughly satisfactory result we must be supsupplied with far greater pecuniary resoure's .

I have chiefly devoted my attention this week to the endeavor to raise subscriptions in the vil- lages themselves ,Ives , apart from ananything that the greater Zemindars may do, and I have been well met by the Villagers as a rule. In Halleshahur, Nyehatty, Kanchrapara, Chogdah, and Moolajore, the subscriptions will amount to about Rupees 10,000 , according to the promises of the inhabi- tants . In doing this I have almost entirely left them to themselves . I used noargument beyond pointing out to them, what their duty was , to what objcets the money would be applied, and promising them thatthat I would from the money at my disposal add 20 per want to their subscription, and, as a matter of cum adcked that the money would be spent in the pigs in which it was col- lected . I had some slight difficulty nt firal in getting them to come forward, It have suceed- ed in removing that, and though, perhaps, some All that Government can be expected to do (after supplying the scientific aid required to carry [ 243 ]

Subscribers may fall short of their engagement , I shall have a good sum of money from this source. but I cannot expect to be equally suc- cessful in all villages , because these villages are those inhabited by Calcutta Clerks and men of business who have not time to do the necessary work themselves , and are glad to pay for the work being done by Coolies provided by us, whereas inland villages are much poorer .

Progress Report on the Great Indian Peninsular Railway between Julgaon and the River Mund .

From CAPTAIN H. F. HANCOCK , Deputy Consulting En- gineer, to the Consulting Engineer for Railways, (dated Bombay, the 29th January 1863.)

I HAVE recently inspected the works in progress on the Great Indian Peninsula Railway between Julgaon, the present terminus of the north -east line , and the Kiver Mund at the 70th mile of the Nagpore Branch .

In several places the work of improving the roadway and cutting slight drains , so as to give free outlet to the waters that collect in the interior of the village, has been begun by the Officers under Lieutenant Hills' guidance ; and from what has been done already I think we shall im- prove the condition of the villages much by this part of the work alone: it is one, too, that is of general interest to the Villagers who would like more done in this way, than we shall have funds to accomplish . We have not been able as yet to take up the tanks, as it is very doubtful whether we can do any thing with them before the coin- mencement of the rains , and the heavy rains of the last week or ten days have not improved our prospects in this respect .

2. I find that it will be sometime yet before the fourteen miles of Railway between Julgaon and the Bhosawul Junction can be opened for pub- lic traffic. About four miles of rails have still to be laid. The ballasting and fencing are not more than half finished. There is another span of girders to be erected at the Wagoor Bridge , and the timbers and rails have to be laid across ite A bridge of two 15 arches have to be put in near BhosawulBhosawu and aculvert near Julgaon is unfinishunfinished. The Bhosaul Station has hardly been begun; only ahout one - third of the platform wall having been built . The sidings and crossings , however, have been laid .

3. With the exception of the Bhosawul Station building the above works might be completed in about two months by dint of hard work , and as it is highly desirable that, the line should be made available for the conveyance of Railway material without unnecessary delay, I trust the Railway Company will secure its completion by the end of March, and at the same time urge the Contractors to greater activity at the Bhosawul Station, ine order that it may be suficientle advanced to admit of the public opening of the Railway in April .

The villages are for the most part of two kinds: those along the edge of the Hooghly somewhat wealthy and densely populated with the Subordinates of Calcutta Offices and the like , and the others more remote, which may be termed " chassa" villages , and are inhabinhabited by mere ryots , very often without a single well -to -do man in the village ; consequently in the former our difficulty consists in the fact that the village is left to itselt from Monday till Saturday, and it is not easy to get the owners of the houses to do their work ,because, firstly, they are not in the habit of staying in their village , and next , that they are notpot a class of men that are used to work with their own hands, and some inconveni- ence has been felt by the demand for foreign labor . They certainly have afforded a certain amount of subscriptions , pot as much as they should have done as a rule , but still better than nothing . The " chassa" Villagers on the contrary are too poor to make any money contribution , though they are cutting their own jangle, &c .; but these are so numerous that unless the Zemindars come for- ward with a very large sum we cannot do as much for them as they require .

4. The buildings at the Bhosawul Depôt are being put up rapidly and in excellent style by the Contractors Messrs . Hill, Cutts and Lund. The Running Engine Shed, Smithery , Machine Shops, Engineers and Locomotive Superintendents Oflices and the European Officers Bungalows are ready for the roofing , which is now in hand, and the other building are in a forward state. The progress made is creditable to the Contractors .

The great want I feel is the certainty of a com- mand of a large sum of money, such that I could authorize Lieutenant Hills to commence any large work for the benefit of a village with no uneasi- ness, lest the necessary amount should not be forthcoming , whereas I am obliged to divide the money into small portions, and cannot therefore undertake any very large operations , such as re- digging tanks . Moreover, these villages are seldom the property of any one Zemindar, but are infinitely sub- led, and the Zemindars are not es able to do much , nor are ther to act in concert. We inake satisfactory pro- hans with the jungle and therefore in they to shall will require a very are to be put into a repair, and will pro - after the rains .

5. From the junction of the Main Line and the Nagpoor Branch of Bhosawal to the commence- ment of No. 13. Contract , where the latter di- verges a distance of about one and a half miles , the Railway is formed for the double lime, and a little ballast has been spread on the side the Nagpoor rails are to run, but the rails are not yet laid . This portion of the Nagpoor Branch is , as you are aware, included in No. 15 Contract under Messrs . Wythes and Co., and the Railway Company should [ 244 ]

an entire stop to the work for the remainder of the working season .

lose no time in getting those Contractors to com- plete this all- important link . Until it is finished thebreak will seriously interfere with the carriage ofmaterial intended for the Nagpoor line to the delay of the works ; and of course no part of the Nagpoor Branch can be opened for traffic .

6. An Engine now runs from the commence- ment of No. 13 Contract one and a half miles beyond Bhosawul to a point a few miles beyond Mulkapoor Station (twenty -eight and a half miles on the Contract and thirty miles from Bhosawul) . The following works are still unfinished on this portion:-

11. The principal unfinished masonry works are a Bridge of eight 30 openings at forty-one miles, one of ten 30 openings at forty- seven miles, one of five 30 openings at fifty miles , and one of seven openings at fifty- three miles . There are many calverts and small Bridges to be put in between the 40th and 55th miles ; from the 55th mile to Sheagaom the masonry is more forward. Some miles of rails have been laid since I saw the works last year, and some ballasting done, but the progress made in these respects is not great . The Stations at Nandoora and Sheagaom have just been started and the fencing is being prepared.

1. Stations and Sidings (In progress .)

2. Inspectors' Bungalows, Gates and Level Crossings (Hardly com- menced .)

3. Fencing (In progress .)

12. The Contractors say they hope to finish to Sheagaom in October ; but I think that it will not be safe to count upon the line being finished thus far before 1st January 1864. If the Contractors are soon relieved of the line as far as Mulkapoor , and are thus able to employ their Engine between that place and Sheagaom , they will no doubt be able to push the works on quicker than heretofore .

4. Ballast in places, parapet walls to Bridges , copings to parapets and wing walls and other small works (In progress.)

7. I see nothing to prevent the Contractors completing the line to Mulkapoor Station (with the exception perhaps of the Booking Offices and Bungalows ) by the 15th April next. The back wardness of masonry works will, as mentioned hereafter, prevent the line being opened beyond Mulkapoor for some months later .

18. The Mund Bridge at sixty - seven miles is thekey to the line beyond Sheagaom . There are still five piers to be put in out of the fourteen ; last year the Contractors only managed to put in two. piers and one abutment ; but they are working in avery different style now to last season, having pumps and an Engine at work and proper plant and appliances , which they had not then . If they succeed in putting in the foundations of the remaining five piers before the next monsoon, (and I do not say this is impossible) there willbe every hope of the line being opened to Oomra- wuttee , if not further, before the end of the year 1864. No one however can with any certainty fix a date for the completion of the Bridge until these foundations are laid.

14. I take this opportunity of mentioning that the telegraph wire is (if I am not mis- informed) now completed along the Railway as far as Budnaira, the Station for Oomrawuttee , and that it would probably be advantageous to the Railway Company and to the Merchants of Bombay to establish Offices at different points through the Cotton Districts ; there is no reason why this should not be done at once if deemed advisable .

8. As every mile of extension of the Railway into Berar will be of value to the trade of the country, the Railway Company will I think do right to open the line to Mulkapoor as soon as possible. Some additional expense will have to be incurred in fitting Mulkapoor Station for a Ter- minus, but the additional buildings may be of a light temporary character, the monsoon in West Berar being generally very mild.mild. The Contrac- tors have informed me that they will be glad to hand the line over to the Railway Company when ready, but that they must stipulate for the convey ance of their material intended for the works beyond Mulkapoor in certain proportions at rates to be fixed by agreement . rac-

Resolution of the Government of Bombay , dated 24th February 1863 .

9. From Mulkapoor there is not much to be done to render the line passable to the Chandoor Bridge at 374 miles , but about a thousand yards of masonry are still required before that work, which consistssts of ten thirty feet openings, will be ready for the girders .

Extracts of Captain Hancock's Report to be sent to Railway Company. Government regret to see that Bhosawul Station is hardly commenced, and that 1 mile of Railway, which by some extraor- dinary arrangement has been given to Messrs . Wythes' Contract, though it is so essential a por- tion of No. 13 Contract, is not yet laid.

10. Between Chandoor and Sheagaom ( sixty- two miles on the Contract and nearly sixty- four from Bhosawul) the progress in masonry since my inspection in January 1862 has not been satis- factory . The distance from which the Contractors have to bring building stone and the consequent expense of the work on this part of the line was probably the cause of the work proceeding langnidly, until an increase of price was promised in the Spring of 1862 ; and in April last there was a severe visitation of Cholera, which drove the work-people away, and [ I am informed ] put almost

The want of this link not only causes the Con- tractors of No. 13 loss of money, but must delay their work and the public opening of this most important lineto Berar , which Government relied with such confidence would be rendered avail able for this season's Cotton Crop .

Nors. From the above, with my figures added, it appears that out of 963 51 miles of plate -laying required, including Station plots and sidings , a distance, amounting in all to 86'59 miles , had been linked in up to end of March 1863, or not equal to one -third. But most of this distance, called " linked in " is actually all but completed. Though not put in column of completion , because here and there ballast is wanted to complote line and boxing up to full quantity of 90,000 cubic feet per mile, I trust next Report will shew better progress.

Report of the state of the Salt Market .

From J. P. GRANT, Esq. , Officiating Junior Secretary to the Board of Revenue, to the Secretary to the Government or Bengal, ( No. 416 , dated the 18th May 1863. )

SIR , I AM directed by the Board of Revenue to submit the following Report of the state of the Salt Market during the fourth quarter of 1862-68 , or from February to April last .

Maunds

February 1863

March

April

2,21,764

2. The Rowannah sales of Government Salt sold by the Board , as shewn in the margin, reached maunds 2,21,764 . In February the sales exceeded those of January by 57.149 maunds 3,000 . In March they fell again to less than half a lac of 46,370 maunds, being equal to the sales of December . But in April they exceeded 18,245 a lac of maunds, an increase which is attributable to the large clearances made under an impression prevalent among the traders that the Duty on Salt was to be raised after the 1st of May. The proportion of sales of Tumlook Salt to the aggregate sales of the quarter is about three fourths , as in the previous quarter. The sales of stocks at Sulkea amounted to maunds 37,000, exceeding those of the previous Quarter by about maunds 15,000 . Total

3. The following is a comparative Statement of importation and clearances of Sea- imported Salt during the quarter :-

The sales during the present quarter far exceeded those in the corresponding quarter of the two previous vears, though they fell short by two lacs of maunds of the sales in the preceding quarter .

Madras Kurkutch , which was selling at Ru- pees 40 per 100 maunds in the beginning of the quarter, fell so low as Rupees 31 in the early part ofApril , but by the end of the month the price had again reached Rupees 40. The highest price ofBombay Salt during the quarter was Rupees 30 per 100 maunds, and the lowest Rupees 25.

The Director-General of Telegraphs has since reported on the comparative merits of these two lines , and has shewn that , while the line from Dacca to Gowhatty vid Sylhet is 257 miles in length , and would cost Rupees 1,50,000, the line from Rajmehal to Sylhet is 416 miles in length , and would cost about Rupees 2,50,000 . The monthly expenses of the Dacca line are calculated at Rupees 1,035 a month , and the monthly income at Rupees 331 a month . The monthly expenses of the Rajmehal line are estimated at Rupees 1,589 a month, and the monthly income at Rupees 496 .

I have it in my power moreover at the present time to illustrate by example the interest which the British Government takes in your welfare .

Some years ago Government was invited to charge itself with the management of the State of Joobul, in consequence of the incompetence of the then ruling Rana .

The District of Belaspore , in the Chutteesgurh Division, having been constituted a separate Police Charge, Liutenant H. A. IIammond , Assistant District Superintendent, has been transferred from Raepore to Belaspore , with effect from the 1st of April 1863.

Lieutenant Hammond took charge on the 10th idem .

Government undertook this charge with reluc- tance, because it has no wish to ussume the direct control of Native States , but rather desires to see them well administered by their own Chiefs .

Nevertheless , the able Officers in whom this task devolved acquitted themselves of their trust with so much success , that , in a short period , not by oppression or extortion but by prudence and economy they restored the finances of the State to good order and accumulated a considerable amount of surplus Revenue .

No. 287 . POLITICAL . FortWilliam , the 5th June 1963 .

It was at one time proposed that this surplus should be expended by the British Government at its own discretion for the benefit of the State and people of Joobul , but it has now been resolved that it shall be transferred to the Rana, and that the responsibility of making a proper application of it shall devolve on him .

I accordingly avail myself of this opportunity to place these accumulations in the Rana's hands, with the expression of my hope that he will make ajudicious use of them .

FortWilliam, the 8th June 1863 .

5. I now proceed to convey to you the decision of Her Majesty's Government as to the general body of Uncovenanted Servants .

Extrast from the Proceedings of the Government of India, en the Financial Department, under date the 8th June 1863 .

READ the following papers regarding Rules for Leave of Absence and Pensions to Uncovenanted Servants :-

6. It has been decided that no Uncovenanted Servant shall in future be allowed to count for pen- sion any period of service antecedent to his having attained the age of 22 years , and , in calculating the period of service required by this Despatch as a qualification for pension, the period must be AMemorial on the subject from Uncovenanted Servants in the three Presidencies .

reckoned from that age . 7. The allowances to be granted to Uncove- nanted Servants on retirement are in future to be as follow, viz.:-

Letter from the Supreme Governmentto the Right Hon'ble the Secretary of State for India , No. 42 of 15th June 1861 , forwarding the above Memorial, and one from Officers of the Education Department in Bengal , with other correspondence, regarding Pension Rules for Educational Officers .

On production of such Medical Certificates as shall satisfy the Government , under which the applicant may be serving, of his incapacity to serve longer in India:

Financial Letter from the Right Hon'ble the Secretary of State, No. 205 of 8th December 1862. ORDERED, that an extract , paragraphs 1 to 18, of 1. Under fifteen years' service, a gratuity not exceeding twelve months' salary .

2.

theDespatch ofthe Secretary of State, be published in the Calcutla Gazette for general information , and for the guidance of the several Departments of the Supreme Government, of the Local Govern- ments and Administrations , and of all Officers and Departments concerned .

After fifteen years' sorvice, one - third ofhis salary, (and of his personal allowance , if any,) provided that in to cand shall a pen- sion be granted exceeding the sum of Rupees 3,000 per annum, whatever the amount of salary , nor of Rupees 2,000 per annum, if the salary shall not exceed Rupees 12,000 per annum .

Extract (Paragraphs 1 to 18) from a Financial Despatch from the Right Hon'ble the Secretary of State for India , to the Right Hon'ble the Governor General of India in Council, No. 205 of 1862 , dated the 8th December .

3. After twenty - five years' service,-one-half of his average salary, (and of his personal allowance, if any, ) during the previous five years, provided, however , that in по сане shall a pension be granted exceeding Rupees 5,900 per annum, whatever the amount of salary, nor exceedang Rupees 4,000 per annum, if the salary shall not exceed Rupees 12,000 per annum.

I HAVE considered in Council the Memorial from the Uncovenanted Servants of the several Govern- 'ınents in India, praying for modifications in the existing Rules which govern the grant to them of pensions and leave of absence, together with your Public Letters , dated the 8th and 15th June 1861, Nos . 37 and 42 ; 6th August 1861 , No. 56 , and your Financial Letter , dated the 4th August 1862, No. 110 , on the same subject .

After thirty years' service , or upwards , a pension may be granted, without production of Medicul Certificate, of the same amount and subject to the sane limitation as that sanctioned for twenty-fivetwe years ' service on Medical Certificate.

8. The period of service which is to be admit- ted in considering a claim to pansion must be continuous ; but in case of the abolition of the office held by an Uncovenanted Servant, and is being subsequently employed by Governmentshis first period of service is to be taken into account. 9. Pensions of the full amount stated arato be 2. The great body of the Uncovenanted Ser- vants of India have always been Natives ; and it has been the just and wise policy of the Govern- ment to employ , as largely as they could with advantage, the Natives of India in the adminis tration of their own country . It is still the de- sire and intention of Her Majesty's Government that whilst , to a certain extent, European agency beyond the Covenanted Servants must always be employed in various situations, Natives of India should constitute the great majority of the Un- covenanted Servants in India .

granted only as the reward of approved service. In any case in which an Uncovenanted Servant, without having incurred the penalty of removal from Government employ , shall, nevertheless , in the opinion of the Government under which he has been serving , not be entitled to the full amount of pension, the Local Government will make such a reduction in the amount of pen - ion as it shall consider just .

10. These pensions have hitherto been pavable only in India. As arule, Europeans on being pensioned desire to return to this country , and are they consequently under the necessity of employing an agent n India to receive and remit their pensions . If the pensions are allowed to be paid in England, the delay, risk, and incon- venience of agency will be saved, while the charge 3. Your Government points out the impossi- bility of making any distinction between Euro- peans and Natives . In that opinion I entirely concur, and whilst, therefore, I cannot but adımıt that there are differences of various kinds in the circumstances of persons of the different races who are employed in the Uncovenanted Service of India, it appears to Her Majesty's Government to be indispensable that the Rules to be laid down 'should be such as are applicable to the whole of that body, of whom the great majority are, and must always be , of Native race and of Native habits .

to Government would be very inconsiderable . Her Majesty's Government have therefore deculed that each Uncovenanted Servant shall , on retire- 4. I think there is , however, sufficient ground for an exception as regards Educational Officers , and Law Officers, and Native Judges . In those [ 16:39 ]

ment, have the option of drawing his pension either in India er from the Home Treasury. After exercising his option on retirement, he may, at a subsequent period, change the place of pay ment fromEngland to India, or vice versa. change can, however , be allowed but once . This

15. Instead of the period of leave now allowed Her Majesty's Government authorize the grant. of leave of absence, on Medical Certificate, with of allowances , to the extent of three years, in two periods, of which not more than two years may be taken at one time . :

16. For the first fifteen months of each period the absentee maybe allowed one - half salary , pro- vided that it shall in no case exceed $ 007. per annum ; and for the remainder of his absence , within the prescribed limit, he may be alllowed one - fourth of his salary, limited to 300l. per annum .

17. If any further leave should be applied for on Medical Certificate, it may be granted as excep- tional leave but without any allowance .

11. The rate of exchange is an important consideration in regard to payment in England. Her Majesty's Government will not now fix any permanent rate for the purpose, but as a rate of exchange, based on the intrinsic value of the rupee, and the market price of bills , is annually fixed in communication with the Lords of the Treasury for the adjustment of transactions between the British and Indian Exchequers , which rate is applied to family remittances of Officers serving in India, the same rate appears to be equitable for the payment in Eugland of the pensions of Uncovenanted Servants and is there- fore to be adopted.

18. These periods of absence on Furlough and Medical Certificate are not to count for pension ; but privilege leave in India maybe allowed for one month in each year, which is not, however, to accumulate, and the grant of which inust be always subject to the condition that no incon- venience or charge shall be caused to Government thereby; this privilege leave will count in the period of service qualifying for pension .

12. I am desirous of being furnished with a list of the Uncovenanted Servants who are entitled to the benefit of the Pension Rules ; and it must be understood that it is not now intended to grant the benefit of those Rules to any of the lower grades of servants who are not at present entitled to pension.

No. 2426 . Notification . The following , revised Rules fot the grant of Leave of Absence to Uncovenanted Civil Servants are published by order of His Honor the President in Council for general information and guidance: -

An Uncovenanted Servant may, under the existing Rules , the granted , on sufficient cause being shewn, leave on private affairs for six months in ane period , retaining his office with half salary up to 600l. per annum , which is the maximum amount allowed to be drawn. This leave may be repeated after intervals of six years , and is allowed to count for pension. Leave of this description may still be granted , but the period of absence will not be allowed to count for pension, and the option may be given to Uncovenanted Servants of taking in lieu of the above leave a furlough for one year after ten years' residence, and a second furlough also for one year after eighteen years' residence in India, such absence being limited to two years during the whole period of service. For such periods an absentee, whose salary does not exceed Rupees 200 per mensem, may be allowed to draw one- half salary ; provided , however, that it shall not exceed Rupees 800 or -801 . per annuin. If the absentees' salary shall be Above Rupees 200, and not exceeding Rupees 400

TO THE RIGHT HON'BLE SIR C. WOOD, BART. , M. P. , Secretary of State for India .

Fort William , the 6th August 1862 .

3. The restriction proposed by the Bombay Government is in itself quite reasonable , and the only doubt we find regarding it is whether it is the proper way of attaining the object in view .

SIR, THE Rules of the 4th January 1831 , regard- ing the grant of pensions to Uncovenanted Ser- vants, restrict the amount of pension to half salary for those who have served for thirty years or more (except as regards Law Officers and Native Judges , inwhose case twenty- two years' service is sufficient) and to one - third for those who have served for a shorter period not less than twenty years (fifteen years being substituted for twenty in the case of Law Officers and Native Judges) .

2. Referring, however, to the extension of the service and the alteration in the prospects of its members since the Rules were passed, the late Court of Directors decided, in their Despatch No. 21, dated the 28th February 1855 , that 500% per annum should be the maximum pension to be

Rules merely fix a limit which is not to be exceeded; practice to allow the highest pension of which the and although it has, with rare exceptions, beon the Rules allow, this practice cannot be admitted to confer on the Uncovenanted Service any right to claim that maximum in all cases without any regard whatever to the original design and scope of the Rules .

mav possibly appear unreasonable and invidious, but it will not really affect the latter class more injuriously than will the proposal submitted by the Government of Bombay, and it is a course which, on the whole , seems to us less open to objection than the Bombay plan.

11. We request the favor of an early decision upon this reference .

Wehave, & c. , 6. Apart from any question of construction of the Rules as they stand, we see no ground for hold- ing that the Government in passing the Rules of 1881 pledged the State to allow pensions on the scale, and according to the conditions therein pre- scribed , to all Uncovenanted Servants who were at that time in the Public Service, or who might enter the Service while the Rules yet remained in force.

FORT WILLIAM , The 6th August 1862 . }

Extract (Paragraphs 19 to 24) from a Financial Despatch from the Right IIon'ble the Secretary of State for India ,to the Right Hon'ble the Governor General of India in Council , No. 205 of 1862 , dated the 8th December .

PARA . 19. - I HAVE also had under consideration your Financial Letter , dated the 6th August 1862 , No. 111 , in which you refer to a proposition made by the Government of Bombay in reference to the restriction on the maximum amount of pension prescribed in the Financial Despatch of the Court of Directors to the Government of India , dated the 28th February 1855 , No. 21 .

7. It appears to us that it was always open to the Government to modify these Rules whenever it might in good faith consider that the public in- terests called for their modification ; and when it appeared that the circumstances of the Uncove- nanted Service were becoming rapidly changed, and that the Rules which were framed chiefly in reference to Natives of India , among whom at that time it is probable that no salary higher than 500 or 600 Rupees a month would have been found, were claimed as applicable to a class of appoint- ments for which they never were meant to provide, we consider that the Government would have been perfectly justified in framing new Rules and making them applicable to all classes of appoint- ments which were plainly not included within the original intention of the Rules of 1881. This would have been a direct , and in our judgment a very legitimate way of attaining the object , which it is now proposed to attain by the somewhat doubtful proceeding of refusing promotion to a deserving Officer , unless he will consent to abandon that to which it is assumed he has a right under the existing Rules .

20. That Despatch fixed the sum of 5001. as the maximum pension to be granted to " Uncove- " nanted Servants hereafter appointed to the " Service. " The Government of Bombay consider that it would be expedient to require any Un- covenanted Servant, who entered the service before the date of the orders of your Government on the Despatch of the Court of Directors , and who shall hereafter be promoted to an appointment, the salary of which is Rupees 10,000 per annum and upwards, to renounce forinally any claim to pen- sion beyond the sum of 500l. per annum .

8. We incline to think , notwithstanding the difficulty which is undoubtedly caused by the Proceedings of 1355 , referred to in the second paragraplı of this letter, that even now it will be better that the Government should assert its right to alter the Rules of 1831 , as regards all appoint- ments clearly not embraced by the original inten- tion of those Rules , and to declare such alteration applicable to all Uncovenanted Servants whether they entered the Public Service before 1855 or since.

9. But if this be done it may be right , per- haps, having regard to the expectations which must naturally have been created by the order of 1855 , to allow the full advantages of the Rules of 1881 , with respect to all appointments made up to the present time and held by Officers who entered the Public Service before 1855. Thus , such an Officer already holding an appoinment of Rupees 1,500 a month will , on superannuation after twenty- two or thirty years' service , according to the class of appointment , be able to claim a pension up to 9001. a year; but he will not, if hereafter pro- moted to higher emoluinents , be able to claim a still larger pension calculated on those higher emoluments .

21. In reference to that opinion of the Govern- ment of Bombay, you observe that the Uncove- nanted Service " cannot claim to have any rights " under the Rules of 1831 , beyond what may be " considered to arise out of the general pledge " which those Rules may be taken to give, that a "member of that service, when rendered incapable " of further duty , shall not be discharged without some pensionary support . As regards the "amount of pension to be given , the Rules merely "fix a limit which is not to be exceeded , and " although it has , with rare exceptions , been the "practice to allow the highest pension of which the Rules allow, this practice cannot be admitted "to confer on the Uncovenanted Service any " right to claim that maximum in all cases with- "out any regard whatever to the original design "and scope of the Rules ."

22. You nevertheless consider that , with refer- ence to the Order of 1855 , it may be right " to " allow the full advantages of the Rules of 1831 , "with respect to all appointments made up to the 10. The distinction which will thus be made between persons (all having entered the Public Service before 1555) who have already obtained promotion to high and lucrative employment , and those who are yet looking for such promotion , ( 1646 )

FortWilliam, the 8th June 1863 .

23. I must observe that , under the existing Pension Rules , an Uncovenanted Servant is not entitled to claim a pension of the full amount which is only authorized as the reward of approved service , and when the Rules were framed it could not have been contemplated that a larger pension than 500l . per annum could ever be granted .

24. Under any circumstances , therefore , the full pension should only be awarded in cases of extraordinary merit.

Rank and Name .

Acts of Bravery for which recommended .

Regiment or Corps .

For various acts of gallantry performed during the defence of the Residency of Lucknow , from the 30th of June to the 22nd of November 1857 .

Lieutenant (now Captain) Robert Hope Moncrieff Aitken.

The late 18th Bengal Native Infantry (now of the Bengal Staff Corps .)

1. On three different occasions Lieutenant Aitken went into the Garden under the enemy's loopholes in the " Captain's Bazar . " On two of these oc- casions he brought out a number of bullocks which had been left in the Garden ;-subsequently , on the 3rd of July , the enemy having set fire to the Bhoosa Stock in the Garden , and it being appre- hended that the fire would reach the Powder Magazine which had been left there, Lieutenant Aitken,tken , accompanied by other Officers , went into the Garden and cut down all the tents which might have communicated the fire to the powder . This was done close to the enemy's loopholes under a bright light from the flames . It was a most dangerous service.

2. On the night of the 20th of August the enemy having set fire to the Baillie Guard Gate, Lieute- nant Aitken was the first man in the gateway, and, assisted by some Sepoys and a water - carrier of his Regiment, he partially opene 1 the gate under a heavy fire of musketry , and having re- moved the burning wood and straw saved the gate.

3. On the evening of the 25th of September this Officer led on twelve Sepoys of his Regiment for the purpose of attacking two Guns opposite the gate referred to, in order to prevent their being turned on the late Major-General Havelock's second column . Ilaving captured them he at- tacked and took the Terce Kotee with a small force.

4. On the morning of the 26th of September, with a small party of his Regiment, he assaulted and captured the barricaded gateway of the Furreed Buksh Palace, and the Palace itself. On this occasion he sprang up against a small wicket gate on the right and prevented the enemy from shutting it, until, with assistance , it was forced open, and the assaulting party were thus enabled to rush in. The complete success of the attack was solely owing to this Officer's dis- tinguished bravery.

5. In a subsequent Sortie on the 29th of September Lieutenant Aitken volunteered to take a Gun which still continued firing, taking with him four Soldiers through the houses and lunes to the Gun . The enemy fired on this party from the houses , but they held their ground, until a stronger party coming up, the Gun was upset from its carriage and taken into the Residency. Another Gun was subsequently taken .

Reports on the abandoned Embank- ments of the Rivers Damoodah andAdjai.

4. In the District of Hooghly the Embank- ments are in good order. The injury that has been done in this District is owing to a breach in the Embankment at Sreekristopore , in Burdwan; but the circumstances attending this have been specially reported by the Commissioner to Govern- ment direct .

5. The return of the Plan herewith submitted is requested.

From H. L. DAMPIRE , ESQ. , Secretary to the Board of Revenue, to the Officiating Secretary to the Government of Bengal , in the Public Works Department,-(No . 289, dated the 28th October 1862. )

From G. PLOWDEN, EAQ., Commissioner of the Burdwan Division, to the Secretary to the Board of Revenue, Lower Provinces ,-( No . 243 , dated the 27th September 1862. )

WITH reference to your letter No. 16, dated the 21st January last , and the previous corres- pondence, I have the honor to submitthe follow- ing Report on the condition of the country ad- joining the abandoned Embankments of the Rivers Damoodah and Adjai .

*With one Plan WITH reference to Government Order No. 2393 , dated 31st May 1861 , I am directed by the Board of Revenue to forward herewith, for submission to His Honor the Lieutenant- Governor, a copy of a letter * in original. No. 243, dated 27th ultimo , from the Commissioner of Burdwan, containing a report on the condition of the country adjoining the abandoned Embankments of the Rivers Damoodah and Adjai.

2. In the District of Burdwan the enquiry into the comdition of the localities appears to have been conducted with care by Deputy Collector Mr. Jones,and the Collector himself; and the Board accept the conclusions to which they have come , that injury to a great extent has been the result of the abandonment of the Damoodah Embank- ments, and it will probably be lasting, as (at any rate in the immediate vicinity of every breach) a deposit of sand takes place . The abandonment of the Adjai Embankments in the same District has not been followed by such disastrous results .

Burdwan on 16th December last for Shan- and carefully enquired into any damage done by BURDWAN.- 2 . The Board are aware that Mr. Jones, an Uncovenanted Deputy Collector of Burdwan, was deputed by the Collector on the duty of inspection in that District . He left ghatgolah , and from that point personally inspected the removal of the bund as far as Korah , the most southern part of the District, situated on the east side of the Khal marked in the District Map, returning northwards from Kootsimool on the west of the said Khal , and inspecting all the land between the Khal and the boundary of the limits of the inundation, as marked on the said Map, to Tundool , where crossing the Khal he to Mohunpore , at which place he crossed the River and returned to Burdwan.

3. Mr. Jones proceeded from Village to Vil. lage inspecting the land land and hearing the 3. In Beerbhoom the enquiry has been care- doubt that the particular villages and localities fully made by the Collector, and there can be no named considerable injury has been done princi- pally by the deposit of sand . The Zemindary Em- bankment referred to in Commissioner'e 42nd paragraph do not appear to the Board to call for [ 252 ]

4. From Shanghatgolah to Bundgacha, a Village to the west of Jaktah , the damage done by the removal of the Embankment in the previous years does not seem to have been very great; but the inundation of last year no doubt did much injury to the land and the crops . At Shanghatgolah , Radhakristopore , Mosiliah , Ath- kola, Kamalpore, and one or two other places, a Bongram good deal of sand has been deposited on the arable land.

In some 10 per cent . in others 40 per cent .

Boro Damash Hurripore Mohunporo Sumbhoopore Chukenjadee Hybutpore Jamdoo Chubbulpore Kunukpore Shadeepore

5. Between Bundgacha and Mohunpore, how- ever, thedamage done is more apparent . The bank of the River here is very low and has been breached in several places , particularly at Bund- gacha, Bamooneah , and Hijulnah ; and much land at Bundgacha, Jaklah , Bamooneah , Hijulnah and Hurripore has become and is becoming waste year after year by the deposit of a great quan tity of sand, which in some places is from one to two feet deep over land once cultivated..

In some 5 per cent . in others 20 per cent . , at Sreekristopore 80 per cent.

From 5 to 20 per cent .

10. The Deputy Collector did not take the appearan appearance of the crops as the chief test of the damage done, but what he noted as a sure mark of permanent damage was the deposit of large quantities of sand , as well as the washing away of soil by the action of the waters .

6. Between Mohunpore and Halarah the da- mage is not so apparent . At Shumbhoopore there is an old breach now closed , and the land is ap- parently fast recovering from the effects of that breach ; a few houses were knocked downby last year's flood, and there is a small breach to the west of the Village . At Chukenjadee much da- magewas caused by an old breach closed about two years ago ; but to the east of the Village and west of Hybutpore there is a succession of breaches , and the land between the two Villages for a quar- ter of a mile is cut up in every direction , the earth being carried away, long and wide channels being ploughed up by the water, and nothing but sand left. These breaches , forming as it were one im- mense opening , have damaged much land of Jam- doo, Kybutpore, Chubbulpore and Kunukpore, up- parently last year, for fields that were evidently then cultivated are now half buried in sand . A number of houses were also destroyed in these Villages, and the lands of Kristopore , which were laid waste by the bursting of the bund between that place and Halarah some time back , are still nothing but jungle .

11. Having inspected the whole of the bunds close to the River, the Deputy Collector crossed the Khal mentioned before , and inspected the lands of all the Villages within the boundaries of over to Kootsimool , which is on the west side of the limits of the inundation marked in the District Map. Here he noticed from Kootsimool to Tundool one prevailing feature testifying to the damage done by the removal of the bund, namely, the immense quantity of waste land to be met with . The lands are too far from the river to suffer from deposit of sand , but much of the good soil appears tohave been washed away. A strip of land along the Khal has apparently been waste for many years owing to the liability of the Khal to overflow its banks ; but it was easy to see that very much land had been laid waste more lately by the large addı- tion to the waters of the Khal let in by the removal of the bund .

12. The following is a list of the Villages to the west of the Khal, with the percentage of land calculated to be lying waste in each :-

About 75 per cent .

Kootsimool ,

رو 50

Atarpoor and Danapore

7. Between Halarah and Sreekristopore the damage does not seem to have been great , but the bund in front of the last named Village gave way during the rains of last year and fourteen lives were lost . The gap was found to be 1,400 feet wide . The greater part of the Village of Sreekristopore consisting in that part of about a hundred houses was swept away , and the lands to the west , south , and north of the Village were covered with sand from one to two and a half feet deep. This breach also damaged a good deal of the land of Rajarampore , and, in fact , its effects were felt more or less by all the Vil- lages between Sreekristopore and Horah , and for agood distance of land .

with the Khaner Adjai just opposite the Embank- ment Bungalowat Jehanabad . At Nowdoho and as far as Goodho a large quantity of sand has been deposited on the soil, but the Rubee crops here were very fine, some of the finest the Deputy Collector had seen. Beyond this as far as Boulpoor the land had not suffered , being protected by Embankments ; but at Bhulpoor there was a bad breach which had injured a large quantity of land belongingto Etimdah. There was also another breach at Kullianpoor, and at Ilurripore the bank of the River was being gradually eaten away, the bund here was fast disappearing, and the Village 13. Two facts are mentioned to show the damage which must be done to the lands when subject to such floods as those which took place inthe rains of last year. At Shoobuldoho and at Bora, places some six or eight miles apart, the water was from ten to twelve feet deep on the lands . The truth of this statement was corroborated by the grass and mud left sticking in branches of trees at that height from the ground , and evidently left there by the flood . The other fact is that at Kamalghurree and two or three other places the people are migrating from their homes .

itself seemed likely to be carried away. 19. From Hurripore to Simoola little or no injury appears to have taken place , but the Villagers all along this bank wish that the bund should be kept up .

20. From Bhedia to Buxsee Bazar the bund of the River, but the is gradually disappearing from the encroachments at the Deputy Collector did not see much damage here . From Paoochea to Satcoonee there is a splendid bund.

14. Mr. Jones considers the removal of the bund on the east side of the Khal a mistake ; with respect to the bund in front of the Village of Sreekristopore he is of opinion that it was cut away too far, and that if it had been left to overlap grove of mangoe trees to the north it would in all probability not have been breached The com- plaints of the people in all but a few places , he states, were fully borne out . The universal wish was that the band should be restored, and Mr. Jones' general impression as regards the measure of the removal of the bund is that whatever benefit may have accrued the damage done has been far

21. From the mouth of the Toomnee Khal to the rising ground at Moocheeparah there is an abandoned Enbankment two and a quarter miles in length , which was breached in thirteen different places during the rains of last year, and a large quantity of land has been slightly covered with sand . The fact of so many breaches having upon it having been cut down, and the roots dug upby order of the Zemindar ; a number of holes were thus made in the bund, which of course weakened and rendered it more liable to be breach- ed in those places where the holes left by the occurred in this bund is attributed to the 15. As regards the abandoned embankments of the Adjai , Mr. Jones was informed by Captain Short, the Superintending Engineer of the Burdwan Division , that it was only necessary that he should examine into and report upon the condi tion of the country from Jehanabad up to Bhedia , on both banks ; from Bhedia Saugorpostal on the right bank, and from the mouth of the Toomnee- khal as far as Moocheeparah . He therefore con- fined his inspection to that tract and the result greater. was as follows .

rooting out of the trees existed . 22. On the whole the Deputy Collector is of opinion that the lands adjoining the abandoned Embankments of the Adjai have neither been seri- ously nor permanently injured, and the damage done appeared to him quite insignificant when compared with the " desolation and ruin" which he witnessed along the Damoodah .

23. The Collector of Burdwan , on a consider- ation of the Deputy Collector's Report , regards the local investigation as having been most com- plete , and observes that whatever indirect advan- tages may have been derived from the measure abandoning the Embankments , the direct results have been almost complete ruin to the cultivators whose lands are situated along the banks of the Damoodah .

24. The Collector writing from Chuckdighee, the residence of Baboo Sharodaproshad Roy, who has a large amount of property contignous to the abandoned Embankments of the Damoodah, fur- ther states that the Buboo's account of the great loss sustained by him and other Zemindars, in consequence of the Embankments being aban- doned, tallies in every respect with Mr. Jones ' afe From Bhedia to Jehanabad, on the right bank, there were one or two small breaches in the bank of the River and in the bund which still exists , but the damage was not extensive nor serious . Between Shandla and Futtehpore there is Khal now connected with the River , which the Deputy Collector was told by the people was closed at the time of making the bund, but which has now been open for some years . The lands adjoin- ing this Khal and belonging to the Villages of Aoosgram, Dangah, Bheetee and Kullumpore , all lying about half a mile from the River , had been much damaged by the floods of the past season; most of the land close to the Khal had evidently been waste for years . There were also one or two breaches close to Futtehpore which had done some damage, but the people here did not complain much. At Itsapoor alias Jungul there was a breach of the past year which had damaged slightly several hundred beeguhs of land by leaving a small deposit of sand, but the damage done did not seem

26. The abandoned Embankments are three in number, namely,--

to be of a permanent nature . 17. The bunds on both sides of the river from Jehanabad downwards are isolated ones , erected here and there by the Zemindars for the protec- tion of different Villages ; the Deputy Collector therefore says nothing concerning the condition of the country adjoining these Embankments.

rich alluvial deposit , a point which should not be lost sight of in estimating the effects produced by the removal of the Embankments . That such beneficial results have attended the spill waters of the Damoodah is attested by the Collector of the District , Mr. Hobhouse, who states :-" In places where the floods have simply washed lands without any violent rush of water, and have thence gently and naturally receded after resting some two or three days , there , to judge by the crops , the floods have been beneficial to the country."

I HAVE to request that you will make arrange- ments for proceeding imme- diately with the Executive Engineer of the Damoodah Division over the area of country on the right bank of the Damoodah , in the Burd- wan District , which is liable to be inundated during floods of the Damoodah.

marks.

14. On a careful consideration of the subject, the Lieutenant-Governor is of opinion that the removal of the Embankments on thethe right bank of the Damoodah has been a judicious measure , the work has been carried out with skill and judgment , and the results accord closely with the expectations formed when it was first authorized in 1856. Whatever partial damage may have been sustained last. by the natural action of the River, now that it is no longer attempted to confine the flood waters within artificial limits, it is not to be compared with the injury and devastation formerly produced by the sudden and violent irruption of the River bursting its Embankments, while the general fertility of the area subject to inundation has been greatly increased.

3. It is of importance that you should proceed at once, because of the rainy season crops being still on the ground, which will enable youwith out any difficulty to say how far the lands which havebeen liable to inundation have been culti- vated . Your observations as to the present cul- tivation of the land may be compared with the information as to the former state of these lands

+To be estimated . to be gathered from the ac- companying printed† but un- published papers , and from the papers which have beenpublished.

4. You will find out also whether the lands which have not been cultivated during the rainy season will be cultivated during this cold weather and report accordingly .

15. But while arriving at this conclusion, the Lieutenant -Governor is not unmindful of the fact that a certain extent of country in the immediate vicinity of the breaches that have occurred has been injured, and that a sense of insecurity still prevails among the ryots from the uncertainty of the action of the river on its bank . His Honor is therefore of opinion that some practical measure should be devised to utilize the flood waters of the Damoodah to give confidence to the Ryots , and , it possible, to re-claim the land which is now uncultivated .

5. The areas which are so covered with sand as not to be culturable should be measured and entered on the District Maps which have been published with the inundation boundary entered upon them.

6. The object of this personal investigation of the state of the lands is to have an accurate note of the cultivation as it stands this year, and of the areas of land which are not culturable, or have not been cultivated , owing to the inundations

from the River. 7. There is no necessity for this measure being carried out for the lands on the borders of the Adjai River.

16. With this view, it is proposed to appoint an Assistant Engineer to the Dumoodah Division and to relieve the Executive Engineer of the im- mediate charge of the current duties of the Division to such an extent as will permit of his thoroughly examining the upper reaches of the Damoodah River and its confluent streams , and submitting aReport as to the practicability of controlling the inundations of the River, and , if possible, of storing the surplus flood waters in such a manner that they may be made serviceable for purposes of irrigation and navigation .

From CAPTAIN L. RUSSELL , R. E. , Officiating Superintend. ing Engineer , Burdwan Circle ,to the Officiating Chief Engineer , Bengal,-(No. 2760 , dated the 4th Decem ber1862.)

I HAVE the honor to acknowledge Bengal Government's letter, No. 5532 of 25th ultimo, de- siring me to proceed with the Executive Engineer , Damoodah Division, to examine the country on the right bank of the Damoodah .

17. But before entering upon this duty the Executive Engineer will be required to submit through the Superintending Engineer a sketch of the manner in which he proposes to conduct the examination , and to state the probable expense attending it , in order that funds may be ap- propriated to the extent necessary . This sketch will be duly forwarded to the Board for any suggestion they may have to offer .

No. 3006 .

2. I have carefully considered the accompani- ments of your letter , as also other papers connected with the subject, which were in this Office .

3. It is not clear what sort of an examination you wish me to make , but I gather that there is required an accurate Report on the present state of the country, which may be presented by this Department to be compared with the Report made by the Deputy Collector in 1554 .

EXTRACT, paragraphs 14 to 17 inclusive, for- warded to the Superintending Engineer of the Burdwan Circle, with reference to his Memoran- dum No. 4013 , dated 30th March last , with a request that the information called for in para- graph 17 maybe submitted with the least practicable delay . The Superintending Engineer is requested to convey to Lieutenant-Garnault the thanks of the Lieutenant - Governor for thethe carefully prepared Report drawn up by that Officer .

That Officer's Report was in great detail , and an examination of the country, such as I believe to be necessary , and as I propose to make, must also be in detail . It will take a considerable time.

MY LORD, Para . 1.- I HAVE received and considered in Council your Letter No 45, dated 4th February 1863 , inviting a re - consideration of the decision conveyed in my Despatch No. 429 , of the 13th November 1882 , that Field Officers of the Staff Corps must be held tobe in the same position as regards qualification for Staff employ as the effective Field Officers of a Regiment.

FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT .

2. You observe that in the British Şcrvice substantive Field Officer if not effective Field Officers of Regiments, can hold the appomments of Brigade Major or Aide -de- Camp, and that several substantive Field Officers, unattached, appear to be holding those situations at Home and Colonies .

No. 2620 . The 16th June 1863 .

4. I have requested the opinion of His Royal Highness the Field Marshal Commanding-in- Chief upon the subject, and have pointed out to Ilis Royal Highness that Officers of the Staff Corps have been declared subjectto the Regula- tion which limits their tenure of such appoint- ments to five years, and that the effect of calling upon them to vacate on promotion to the rank of Field Officer would be to throw an increased number on the unemployed list .

The undermentioned Officers of the Account De- partment having furnished Medical Certificates have obtained from the Right Hon'ble the Secretary of State for India extensions of leave for the periods specified:-

Covenanted . Uncovenanted . Mr. F. Lushington Mr. W. Donald Six months . Six months .

5. His Royal Highness has informed me, in reply, that he concurs in the opinion I had ex- pressed as to the inexpediency of multiplying occasions upon which Officers of the Staff Corps maybe called upon to vacate appointments and remain unemployed .

No. 2621 . Mr. S. G. Wyatt , First Assistant Auditor- General of India, to be an Avidítor of the Accounts of theAdministrator- General of Bengal .

6. His Royal Highness observes that in the British Service Field Officers on full pay are not allowed to hold Staff appointments, as they have important regimental duties to perform from which they cannot be spared, but this is not the case with Officers of the Stall Corps , who may be enaployed in any capacity most convenient to the Government of India .

E. II . LUSHINGTON , Sery. to the Govt. of Indra .

[ 1697 ]

No. 397 of 1863. The undermentioned Offi- cer is permitted to proceed to Europe on Furlough on private affairs :-

4.

After ginning 204 lbs . of cleaned Cotton were obtained, thus the proportion of seed to Cotton is about 2 lbs . of the former to one of the latter . It was found that the seed first sown in June

THE locality was the same this year as last near the Village of Nyoungneebin on the banks of the Boben Stream.

did not produce as much as that sown in July. This may be accounted for in several ways , partly because it began to ripen too early when the rains were still heavy, partly because the ground was not so well prepared, and partly because the second sowing was superintended by an Overseer who knew something of the Cotton plant and its treatment from a residence in the Southern States of America . Incessant rain had prevented his superintcuding the first preparation of the ground and sowing .

The Cotton is considered better this season than it was last years this may probably be owing to the European superintendence it received.

The cleaning of the Cotton , except 40 lbs . of it, was done by means of a Cotton gin supplied from Calcutta, which was found to work very well .

Four acres of ground were cleared of elephant grass in May 1862. The soil was twice dug and then thrown up into drills 6 inches high and 6 feet apart ; 3 ) acres were sown with seed of the New Orleans and Egyptian varieties (which, how ever, was most unfortunately mixed ) ; and an acre with Sea Island seed . The seed was all the produce of last year's cultivation . The sowings took place as follows.-

1½ acres of New Orleans and Egyptian mixed on 21st June .

The cost of the experiment this year has been (exclusive of the Overseer's pay, as he was only casually taken off his other duties when required for the Cotton garden) Rupees 535-8

1 acre of New Orleans and Egyptian mixed on 24th July.

'The Sea Island failed entirely, and in no instance has it succeeded here .

The experiment has thus far proved that Cotton will grow, but it is still very incomplete, as failures arise from accident , such as bad seed and want of proper superintendence , if the localities chosen for the seat of the experiment are distant and difficult of access .

It is proposed next year to try experiments to test whether it can be grown for profit, and whe- thor later sowing, so as to insure the heavy rains being ended before the picking begins, will not give more fruitful results . The former locality near Nyounguecbin, which is seven miles distant from Myodwin , will not be chosen again, as it is too given to an Overseer who works in the Forests, and who is anxious to try an experiment of his own on a larger scale, to see whether the plant far off and difficult of access . Some seed has been The pods of the other kinds ripened in October, and as the rains had not ceased every care was taken to pick the Cotton immediately the pods burst so as to keep it from damp. An European Overseer was sent to live on the spot at this time to superintend the picking , which continued up to the end of November. TheThe first crop from the 31 acres sown with Egyptian and New Orleans second crop was picked in March 1863, when 150 lbs . more were collected, making a total of 825 lbs . for the year. seed yielded 675 lbs . of Cotton with sced ; a small [ 264 ]

-- quantities of Silex and Alumina these strata are continually changing, undulating, rising to within a few feet of the surface, then dropping down ten, fifteen, twenty, and even twenty -four feet below, with occasional stripes of pure sand varying from half an inch to three feet in thickness . Four hundred grains of the partially dried soil yielded fine sand 310 grains , Alumina 75 grains = sand 77-5, Alumina 1875 per cent; specific gravity 2. The leading tree is Gordonia integri- folia Roxb ., Nagabhet belonging to the same natural family as the Tea plant : the leading shrub, Melastomæ malabathricum, Poot Koola of the Natives : the leading flower Exacum tetra- gonum : the leading grass , Imperata cylindrica , Oolloo, with ancther large course grass called Barota : the leading forn Hymenthostachys dulies . All these, like the Tea, flourish here in full sun -light. The Melastomæ appear to be particu- larly at home; M. malabathricum , or one much like it, spouts considerably, bearing on the self same plant flowers with 5 , 6 , or 7 lobes to the calix : 5 , 6 , or 7 petals : 10 , 12 , or 14 tamens: and5, 6 , or 7 cells to the aviarism.

Dropped down the river towards Golaghat : in passing Mr. Spear's Tea Garden observed the very peculiar nature of the boundary line to the east- ward owing to the circuitous course of the Dhun- siri . In the Orders issued by His Honor the Lieutenant -Governor of Bengal , on the 30th of August last, regarding the sale of unassessed Waste Lands, it is enjoined (Rule 3) that " when the land touches a public road or a navigable river the length of the road or ris frontage shall not exceed one-half the depth of the Lot ." How can the Rule he advantageously or legally appliedappli in this case ? TheThe original grant,iginal grant , which was taken up under the Rules issued in 1854 , contains 1,000 acres, more or less , bounded to the eastwardby the Dhunsiri River generally ; the other three boundaries are straight lines having determined bearings . The public road leading from Golaghat to Bor Pathur runs right through the grant , a distance of about two miles this gives four miles of road frontage, the serpentine river gives five miles : ( 2 x 2 = 4 ) + 5 = 9 miles of road and river frontage ; the depth on the south western boundary touching the Government Reserve Forest ,being ( five and a half furlongs ) or one thirteenth of the frontage; the frontage here is thirteen times the depth ; if we reduce the length of the road to one rule , and take one mile ofof depth , the frontage will then be more than four times the depth even were the length of road reduced to half a mile , and the depth increased to two miles , still the length of road and river frontage would exceed the depth . I have estimated the river frontage to be five miles, but fifty years hence it will certainly exceed six miles, unless the river cuts out a new channel forming an island, when the mouth of the old channel will soon be- come silted up and a new lake be formed , which , together with the new formed island , will be trans- ferred to another District . This may be an extreme case, but similar cases must be very common wherever the land touches any of the smaller rivers of Assam . Nazerah, the principal Station the length of road and river frontage is more than four times the depth , and the boundary lines cannot possibly be altered without reducing the of the Assam Company, is a case in point where area .

During the past fortnight the weather has been very oppressive, very unhealthy, and I find that I went out too soon ; in fact , I got a tre- mendous sunning on the 9th instant , from the ill effects of which I have not yet recovered. About fifty miles above Golaghat the Dibboo Panee flows into the Dhunsiri from the Angami IIills on the right, having washed the base of Rajapamah and Sumooguding , the site of indigenous Tea plants . Ten miles lower down the Heeriajan flows in from the Tokaphung Naga Hil's on the left . The banks of this stream are composed of foliated sandstone, and contain numerous castes of Reptilise : twelve miles lower down , and eight miles above Bor Pathur the Deopanee enters the Dhunsiri from the Mikir Hills on the left : six miles below Bor Pathur, and ten miles above Golaghat , the Nambur also flows in from the left bank , having risen inthe Rangma Naga Hills , flowed over three ridges of gnciss, forming three separate falls , wound its way through a line of hot springs, and laid bare the coal measures and the shell marble in itsbed . Ten miles below Golaghat the Dooigurrung flows into the Dhunsiri ; this stream rises in the Rangma Naga Hills also . Soon after leaving which it flows over two ridges of gneiss, and between these two ridges is situated abed of coal : seven- teen miles below Golaghat the Kolianee enters the Dhunsiti on the left, flowing from the Rangma Naga aud Mikir Ilills . The distances given above are the estimated distance from one point to another by land ; the distance by the river is con- tinually changing , generally increasing; from admeasurements and calculations carefully made is, I am induced to think, that by the Dhunsiri the distance from the post of Dhemapore is now two and a halt miles greater than it was in 1815 .

Procceded up the Dikho : a very uninviting place is this , deserted by everything but musquitoes ; reeds and jungle on both sides ; thus for these , mud and dirty water, we exchange the extended sandbanks , the clear water, and bracing air of the Brahmapooter. The Dikho is unusually high for November, and there is a narrow channel still open from the Great River, but it is rapidly drying up : villages less frequent than formerly. Just above the potters' village the left bank exhibits two fect of dark colored mixed soil , underlying which is six feet of a yellowish clay , then half an inch of red sand , then ten inches of dark potter's clay , then half an inch of red sand , then two feet of potter's clay: below this another narrow stripe of red sand and then potter's clay again. A mile or two higher up the river , on the right bank , there is six feet of the yellowish red clay. Col- lected specimen No. 9 from the left bank: reached the mouth of the Namdang at sunset , where there are shoals of the long snouted crocodile .

Mr. Becket informs me that I. Camara is a common plant at Mungledve : continuing up the Dikho observe that at one place on the right bank there is four feet of red sand above the potter's clay : sunset , fair, Seebsagor . 15th, Saturday, sunrise .-Thick fog , air 66 °.

The banks of the Dikho are about the same all the way up , 6 to 8 feet of the yellowish brown soil ; then a thin streak of reddish sandstone be- coming more and more indurated as we ascend the river, and when dug out having the appearance ofbroken tiles ; underlying this , shale-like clay, then another streak of sand or sandstone, then potter's clay ; sometimes one or two of the stripes of sandstone die out, and the Tea soil and pot- ter's clay only remain the strata are for the most part horizontal , but occasionally deep at an angle of 15° to 20°, when sandstone becomes firmer . The current is continually cutting away the bank on both sides all the way from the mouth of the river up to Nazerah, first on one side, and then on the other, and making the line of channel more and more circuitous ; and has scooped out , thrown down, carried away, and re - deposited more than 300,000 cubic yards of Tea soil and potter's clay within the last twenty years, besides having brought down much sand from above Suntook Mookh . L. Camara con- tinues on both sides either as a single plant , bush , a clump of bushes , a hedge , or a long line of mattedjungle, and is the most common plant between Nazerah and the Great River . The Dikho rises far in among the Naga Hills to the eastward, and after receiving the waters of several tributaries in the shape of streams, cascades , and rushes , flows sluggishly down through the alluvial plain passing Nazeralı on the left bank and Seebsagor on the right, receiv- ing the waters of the Suntook , Dija Kana, Darika, and Naga Jan on the right, and of the Namdang on the left ; over this last , at a short distance from the mouth , there is a very valu a This is what was called the mouth of the Dikhomi 1840 , 1841 , 1842, 1843 ; and at the very spot on which my tent is now pitched, ten feet above the water's level , the Steamer Assam , on her second voyage in September 1842, was safely riding in three fathoms of water, now all filled up with fine sand, which is covered over with reeds , grass, ferns, and Lantana Camara, for which last thanks to the late Dr. Wallich , who kindly sent me a plant in 1889. An immense sandbank has been formed here more than five miles in length and two in breadth , so that by the river, at this season of the year, the distance between Seebsagor and Debrooghur is ten miles greater than it was in 1842. This sand is of the finest possible description , and when dry capable of being lifted into the airby the slightest breeze; the depth varies from 15 to 13 feet : taking the average depth as 20 feet, we have 20 x 26,400 × 10,560 = 5,566,680,000 cubic feet , which divided by 27 gives 206,173,333 cubic yards taking the specific gravity at 2, we get 106,325,892 tons as the weight of sand and other matter deposited in the Great River at the mouth of the Dikhoo within the last twenty years ; the earth is now accumulating , and is deposited by the highest floods only . So soon as a little earth is deposited plants begin to spring up, chiefly Graminicæ, such as the different species of Im- perata, two or three species of ferns , and all along the south bank the before mentioned Lantana Camara. The above is the description of one sandbank, but several others have been formed during the same period on this side of the river . On the 9th instant I passed a tremendously large new sandbank immediately in front of Dinagong or Jorehaut , which bids fair to be a much greater obstruction to the Steamer, when on her passage between Dhunsiri Mookh and Debrooghur , than this at Dikho Mookh . At present Steamers are completely cut off from Dikho Mookh , Dinagong , and Dhunsirisiri Mookh , properly so called,called, though twenty years ago they could run down right abreast of those points. Twenty- seven sandbanks of the same extent as this one at the mouth of the Dikho would equal a cubic mile ; and sand, debris or alluvium , to this enormous extent, is in constant motion between Gowalparah and the Brahmakoond : here the shining specks of Mica only are separately visible . Above Debroo- ghur the deposit becomes coarse sand ; above Suddyah it becomes pebbles ; above Soonpoora boulders ; above the mouth of the Digaroo blocks of two to four feet cube; and between the Parghat and the Koond there are blocks of stone lying loose in the bed of the river measuring (400) four hundred cubic feet .

some half an acre , have I collected what appear to be (9) nine varieties of China Tea plants, and might have collected several more. Theso plants were produced by seed procured from Kumaon, which seed was undoubtedly produced by the plants (20,000) which , under orders from Dr. Wallich, I dispatched from the Botanic Garden in 1985 , and may be styled China Tea Plants Garden, Wallich's, which signifier that the seed was originally procuted in China by Mr. Gondon, sown under the Pimenta trees by the late Dr. Wallich , and by hislers sent to Kumaon. This little patch of plants may be kept up as a curiosity , and shoul njoy the same cultivation as the other Tea plants . We know not what may be the ultimate result; in their present state not one of thein is worth cultivating inAssam for the manufacture of Tea, the indi- genous Assam pla bein,, tauch superior.

Leaving Colonel Reid's Garden 1 entered Mr. Higgs' Mankatta Garden, which is in much better condition , and the plants , chiefly China, are looking well; the soil is like that in the Behea Garden , and in the other Gardens in immediate vicinity of Dibrooghur , and in which I am surprised to see the Tea plant thrive so well as it does . The sub - soil like that of all the south bank is Tea soil , but generally there is a slight deposit of an inferior description, and the ground is too low . Of several patches which 1 have examined there are some on which an average crop of rice is now growing , while on others China Tea plants are flourishing ; although I can perceive no difference in the level on the right bank of the Sessa at Kumrikur, there is a fresh clearance now going on where the soil is of far superior quality (specimen No. 20.) This site is all tree forest, in which the leading indigenous plants are Mesua ferrua, Aquilaria agallocha, Laurusa porrecta , Castanea, Cedrela , Chickrassia, Melas- toma, Urtica, Polygonum , Lygodium, &c . On the left bank of the River is the Sessa Garden , in which the plants are one to three years old and are looking well .

grass and partly tree forest ; the grass land was conveniently laid out, well dug, and ploughed in ; seed sown in rows in the first instance , where they were intended to remain, and they appear to have succeeded remarkably well, and all without shade, except a few scattered trees . The Tea plants here are from three to five years ' old; those in the forest land from one to three years old, where the scrub jungle was cut down and cleared away, and the latter trees left for partial shade till the Ta plant has established itself ; the indigenous plants are Castanea species , Artocarpus chaplasha , et integrifolia, Cedrela toonn , Chiekrassia tabi- laris , Premna species, 1er species , and (Garcinia pedmioulota . This plant is an indiindicator of a suitable site for the Tea plant.

Visited Mr. James Jenkins' Tea Garden at Chaulkhooah , where, together with it ( ** ) Chubwa, there is about 200 acres of Tea culti- vation . The greater portion of this grant consists of dense forest, containing some very fine timber trees, ofwhich the leading trees are Mesua ferrua, Artocarpus integrifolia , A. chaplasha, Deospyros sapota, Lagerstræmia reginæ, Premna species, Pierardia sapida, very common, Michelia, two species , very large , Cedrela toona, Chickrassia tabularis, Maisaki , Bignonia chelonoides . These trees indicate a soil suitable to Tea cultivation, and this soil is superior to that in the immediate

vicinity of Dibrooghur . Specimen No. 23 ; collected the following specimen of the Tea plant No. 31 :-

Received the following Memoranda regarding the manufacture of Tea from Mr. James Jenkins :- " As far as practicable all the leaves slrould be gathered before 11 a . M. , as up to that hour the young are brittle from the leading branches ; but after that time the young shoots become tough owing to the influence of the sun , and it often occurs that the leaf- pluckers tear off the whole branch with the leaves . As soon as the leaves are brought into the Tea house they should be withered in the sun or in the withering house ; the latter method I much prefer . To ascertain when the leaves are sufficiently withered you have only to take a few leaves in your hand and if they willbear pressure without snapping, they are sufficiently withered ; the stalkstalk of the leaf must pliable, and admit of being bent double without breaking . Care should be taken to allow the leaves to cool before manipulation. The process of manipulation should be performed by the Tea- makers at the Tea tables ; each man should have about four pounds of the green leaves in a Dallah to prevent the small Pekoe buds from being lost, which they are likely to be, and often are, when Challanas are used. The leaves should be well beaten with the hands , and also rolled, to give them a slight twist and to press out the sap ; as soon as this has been effected the leaves should be put into deep trays or large deep Dallahs to the depth of eight or nine inches, and covered over with a cloth, in order to promote the heating of the leaves, and to secure them ; when the leaves have become quite warm , and have turned to a red color , they should at once be put into a good bright red pan, and be briskly moved forward and bael ward , tossed up and again let fall into the pan. As the leaves become hot sticks should be used to move them about , and not till the leaves steam well should they be taken out of the pan . When taken out the leaves should be well rolled , and during the rolling should be frequently shaken and separated to prevent their balling ; this should be done three times at least, the well twisted leaves should then be put away till several maunds have collected in a heap, when a second firing should be given in a cooler panwhich will not require the use of sticks , and the leaves should again be rolled; this being done the leaves should at once be put over the charcoal fire in Dhools , the fires should have a few ashes sprinkled over them; about four pounds of leaves may be put into each Dhool ; here the leaves should be well watched and turned till perfectly dry ; it is now Tea , and should at oncebe put into chests in Storebins to secure the orma. In gathering the leaves should be separated thus, as by so doing a new shoot soon starts up from where the end of the leaf is left."

Received much valuable information from Mr. Jenkins relative to the cultivation of the Tea plants and manufacture of Tea .

No 2, Hoogrecejan , about thirty- three acres post, about eighteen acres under Tea, consisting ofAssam and China plants sown about twenty years ago, and a few China plants, the produce of seed received from Kumaon about five years ago; the soil is not good, there being too much of a new deposit above the sub -soil, or inferior Tea soil, besides which the site is subject to inundation , owing to the silting ofof the river bed; the ground requires an extra hoeing this year, the weeds having become very rank on account of the late rains .

SIR , I HAVE the honor, herewith , to transmit the Annual General Return of Vaccination for the Presidency of Bengal for the year 1802 , and. am happy to be able to point to a very considerable increase in the number of successful operations at the Presidency, as well as in the Dacca and Dina- pore Circles . There is a decrease in the Barrack- pore Circle, and mainly in the Midnapore District . I believe, however, that the amount of bondfide vaccination performed there has not been less, puly the care exercised to secure accuracy in the Returns has been greater .

2. The Presidency Returns may be most strictly relied upon ; and there appears to be a growing demand for vaccination on the part of the Natives of all classes in the Immediate neigh- bourhood of Calcutta,, which promises to be attended with a still further and large increase in the numbers operated upon .

3. The Superintendent of Vaccination in a Return and Report just received from him states the number of successful cases of vaccination per- formed during the six months ending 31st March last to have been as high as 24,362 ; and under the new arrangements which he has proposed, and which I hope in a few days to submit for favorable consideration of the Lieutenant-Governor , there, is good reason to hope that the benefits of vaccination may, with ordinary precautions in the ensuing season, become very widely extended in Lower Bengal .

Stowing of Grain for Prisoners .

Circular from the Inspector-General of Jails , Lower Pro- vinces, to the Magistrate of ( dated Darjeeling, the 15thMay 1863.)

suppose that the prisoner needs a more expensive and luxurious dietary in confinement than when at large. The most wholesome food for him is that to which he has been accustomed from his child- hood, and, provided it be good and sound of its kind, sufficient in quantity, properly husked and prepared, and cooked with ordinary care, there will be no need to introduce luxurios to which the poorer classes are unaccustomed on the erroneous plea of their being necessary for health..

SIR, THE purchase of food grains in bulk and storing them having now been tried for three years with complete success , both in reducing cost and improving the quality of the Prison dietary , I have been directed by the 'Government to issue instructions for the adoption of the plan in every District of my jurisdiction to which it is appli- cable.

2. The replies of the Officers consulted shew that the most suitable plan in each Zillah is that adopted by the grain merchants of the place, which unites economy and efficiency with the due preservation of the grain. Should you not already have grain golahs attached your Prison I shall feel obliged by your sending me a rough Plan and Estimate of such as you require upon the model of those in general use in the District.

3. Great care must be taken to see that the grain is sound when stored and to expose it to the air and sun from time to time should it exhibit any signs of decay , or of being attacked by insects . Bythese means the chance of loss issreduced to a minimum.

7: The next, indication to bear in mind, is to secure as great a variety of the food grains of your own or neighbouring Districts as you possibly can . The incessant use, without' change or variety, of the sand articles of food, however good in them- selves , is more productive of disease than the use of the coarser kinds of grain when changed as often as is practicable. But as the different food grains of India vary considerably in their nutritious properties , they require to be combined in different proportions to secure a really wholesome diętary, in which the elementary principles needed are properly represented . To enable you to accom- plish this all- important object, in consultation with the Civil Surgeon, I append to this Circular a Table of the nutritious value of the food grains of India representing the proportion of carbonaceous to nitrogenous ingredients, and the mixture neces- sary palseą rich in nitrogen to be added to substances deficient or poor in that constituent. For this Table I am indebted to the kindness of Dr. Forbes Watson. Ithas been prepared with the greatest care; and its results may be reliod upon.

4. In the construction of the golabs the chief points requiring attention are to raise them suffi- ciently from the ground to protect the grain from damp and rats and to be careful that , while perfectly water -tight, they are well ventilated,

5. The grain should be purchased when the crops are cut , or at the cheapest season of the year, and should be , stood without husking. The rice should be kept forsix months before issue it being usually deemed unwholesome to use newer rice for human consumption .

8. Within the gross quantity of the scale fixed you are not only at liberty to vary the food of the Prisoners as much as the resources of four District will admit of, but I particularly enjoin you to do so ; and I am confident that the Civil Surgeon will afford you every aid in regulating the dietary, limited as above noted, so as to secure the highest attainable standard of health with the greatest economy. With the condiments and fresh vege- tables which ought to be furnished by your garden the cost of the dictary is susceptible of considerable reduction in cost, while its wholesomeness and nutritious walue will be increased by the adoption of the measures recommended above.

6. All grains purchased for store should be carefully examined arld passed by the Civil Sur- geon- both as a security for its quality at the time and to prevent its subsequent rejection on the plea of unwholesomeness as has occurred in two or three instances . The finest qualities of pulses and food grains are not required. It is a fallacy to 20.50 ]

I have, & c. , (Sd.) C. Woon .

5. It is unreasonable to expect that extensive changes , such as have been lately effected in the Indian Army, shou'dbe carried out without affecting to some extent individual prospects, but Her Majesty's Government have been desirous of removing, as far as possible , all just grounds of complaint, and therefore , with a view to meet the present case, it has been determined, with the concurrence of His Royal Highness the Field Marshal Commanding- in - Chief, to offer at once a limited number of increased retiring pensions to cach Brigade of Royal ( late Indian ) Artillery, and Battalion of Royal (late Indian) Engineers, with a view to giving the means of immediate retire- ment to those of the older Officers who may wish to retire from the Scrvice .

6. It appears to me that this measure will fairly meet the case of these Officers , and by still further accelerating the promotion in the Corps at large will remove all just grounds of complaint from the remaining Officers .

No. 80A. of 1863.- In publishing for general information the following copy of a Despatch , No. 175 of the 16th ultimo , from the Right Hon'ble the Secretary of State , Ilis Excellency the Governor General is pleased to call attention to the necessity for all applications from Colonels ofArtillery andand Engineers , who maybe desirous of retiring with the Annuity now sanctioned , being sent in to the Office of the Adjutant General of their respective Presidencies on or before the 31st August next:-

of the Officers con- been at various times submitted to Her Majesty's Government by the Senior Officers of the late Indian Artillery relating to the reduction in the number of Colonels' allowances allotted to those Corps, and the alleged injury inflicted upon them by the consequent retardation of the period at which they may attain that allowance .

2. As regards the Officers of the Corps of Artillery and Engineers generally, Her Majesty's Government are satisfied that the changes that have been made in the organization of these Corps have been attended with advantage to the Officers at large , commensurate with the heavy expen- diture which has been incurred for this purpose by the Government .

cerned the opportunity of expressing their inten- tion of accepting the Annuity ( if available for them) or otherwise, it will be necessary to name a prospective date up to which applications will be received; and with a view of giving sufficient time to all Officers concerned both in India and in England , I have resolved , with the concurrence of His Royal Highness the Field Marshal Com- manding- in-Chief, to inform the Colonels of Artillery and Engineers now in England that their applications to retire under this arrange- ment must be received at the Office of the Adjutant- General of their respective Presidencies on or before the 31st of August next , that their claims to be considered to come within the operation of the order as Regimental Colonels will be determined by the rank they actually hold on the records of the Adjutant- General'a Office on that day, and that the retirements under this order will date from the 1st September next.

3. The changes made as regards the ranks of Colonel Commandant and Colonel , the abolition of the grades of Major and Second Lieutenant , and the introduction of that of Second Captain in 1858, were measures which gave great promo- tion to the Officers of Artillery and Engineers, but were attended with great expense .

9. You will , therefore, in notifying this order to the Officers of the several Corps in India, adopt the same date and rules for their guidance .

The reduction in the number of Colonels with Colonels' allowances was the only feature in the re -organization which was calculated to affect injuriously the prospects of a certain limited class of Officers of long standing and high rank, who are so circumstanced that the mere promotion or immediate chance of promotion from Licutenant- Colonel to Colonel does not fully compensate for the retardation of their prospects of attaining the Colonel's allowance .

Reports on the Epidemic in the Hooghly District .

Zemindars who are in a position to afford consider- able pecuniary aid , and who from their position are morally bound to set an example to others . Many of these Native gentlemen reside them- selves in Calcutta, and consequently neglect the moral obligations they are under . He promi- nently brings to notice * *

From A. V. PALMER, ESq , Magistrate of Hooghly, to the Secretary to the Government of Bengal ,-( No . 307 , dated the 30th May 1863. )

7. As a contrast to this gentleman, he men- tious favorably Baboo Gobind Chunder Sain , who has, he says , shewn more alacrity and proper spirit than the generality of the Zemindars .

In continuation of my letter No. 274 of the 11th instant , I have the honor to submit further Reports on the subject of the Epidemic.

2. During the first fortnight in May the rid- dance of the jungle has been considerably retarded by the wet weather , not a day scarcely occurring in which more or less rain did not fall.

8. I have directed Mr. Maclean to proceed to the northern portion of his jurisdiction, viz . , San- tipore , and to turn his attention to sanitary im- provements in that quarter .

3. This obviously impeded the burning of the up rooted jungle , and propagated the growth of fresh.

9. As noted in the ultimate paragraph of my foriner Report, Mr. Kelly has made his Head- Quarters at Bullagur, from which place he has been able to superintend those works which are being carried on in the north of the Hooghly 4. The jungle inland villages is not so dense as it is in villages on the borders of the River . 5. Mr. Maclean is engaged in " stimulating" District . 10. The jungle is being gradually but systema- tically reduced . I annex in the margin a list of

the villagers . He has been successful in obtaining in the large affected villages promises of subscrip- tions , a portion of which has been paid up. These subscriptions , Mr. Maclean informs me, are made by the villagers under the advice and direc- tion of their chief fellow villagers . Mr. Maclean , in consultation with them , points out what is necessary to be done, and the cost is estimated ; but the amount of individual contributions which is settled entirely amongst themselves , he has nothing to do with, nor with its collection. Money so subscribed, with a percentage added from the funds placed at his disposalisposal byby Govern- ment , is expended in systemàtic sanitary improve- ments in the villages in which the money has been subscribed . The villagers apparently appreciate this arrangement, and in the condition of the larger villages on the east bank of the River

11. Village roads and drains are also in course of con- struction where re- quired , and a great deal has been done to put these villages onahealthy footing. 12. Since sub-

jungle in the villages therein noted . Many of these are now , comparatively speaking, free from jungle, especially those near Hooghly itself.

23. The Deputation also brought to my notice that, as my order was a general one, it operated oppressively in exceptional cases where parties were too poor to incur the expense of Coolies .

13. The removal of the jungle after being cut, which I have steadily insisted on, is now being done without any apparent unwillingness .

24. They further brought to my notice that at the request of the Association in Calcutta, they were raising subscriptions for the prosecution of the sanitary measures adopted by me.

14. The tanks and water holes in a Bengalee village are so numerous that it is impossible at this late season of the year to organize any systematic plan for their improvement . I have therefore confined myself to the cleansing of those which contain putrid and poisonous water, and which are in themselves the seat of disease .

15. In Shahagunge, Bansbaria, and Tribannee , I have opened out five good village roads , cutting the jungle at right angles , and connecting thereby the open flat through which the East India Rail- way runs on the west, with the Hooghly River on the east . Some large gencral drains are also under construction , into which small feeders can be thrown when necessary .

25. I informed them in reply that in all cases in which it had been brought to my notice that parties were truly indigent and were unable to clear their own jungles and dirt, I had directed it to be done at Government expense . At the same time I pointed out to them that I considered , as a general rule , that cach individual was legally bound to remove the causes which have been certified to be dangerous to human health which existed in his immediate holding ; but that , as the Association was engaged in raising subscrip- tions for this very important matter, and as the individual Members of the Association had better means and opportunities of ascertaining where these exceptional cases existed , I should be very happy to undertake the removal of these causes on their furnishing me with a list of the indivi- duals whose indigency or physical inability pre- vented their carrying out the provisions of my general order, together with the amount necessary for the same which they were in a position to make over from the subscriptions they informed me they were collecting .

26. litherto , I have not been favored with a single case.

16. In my former Report I informed you that I hoped to be able to arrange for a common Burial Ground at Pundooah. After placing myself iu communication with the leading Mahomedan gentlemen of that place, and meeting them in the village, I found that the proposal must be dropped. established, none would use it . The village is composed of innumerable small Ayma tenures . Each Aymadar is in the habit of buying his dead within his own land , and the consequence is that the village is covered in every direction with I was satisfied that were a Burial Ground graves.

27. I yesterday requested the Associationto inform me what amount they had succeeded in collecting . In reply, I have been this day informed that they are about to hold a public Meeting for the purposes of collection .

28. In conclusion, I have to express the obliga- tions I am under for the very prompt manner in which the requirements I have solicited have been furnished by the Government of Bengal .

17. This practice of their fathers they appeared determined not to abandon , aud argument was completely thrown away. In order to give the inhabitants good drinking water , I caused ten experimental wells to be sunk . These have been completed , and the water therein is clean and good . I shall , however , scarcely be credited when I state that the inhabitants adjoining whose houses these wells are sunk prefer drinking impure, stagnant , and discolored water from the holes, than what I have tasted and ascertained to be clean and wholesome from the wells .

18. They make no objections to the well water, which they admit is better and superior to what they use, but they say they are in the habit of drinking this water, and therefore they preler it .

Memorial of the Inhabitants of Burda, Zillah 24- Pergunnahs , Thannah Dabeepore , to the Hon'ble the Lieutenant- Governor of Bengal ,-(dated the 31st December 1962.) 20. I anticipate that sickness this year at Pundooah will not be much diminished, for, if the people will not take the commonest precautions, nothing that I can do will be effective. I con give the people wholesome water to drink, but I cannot make them drink it .

21. Since submitting my last Report I have received a Deputation of the Hooghly Branch of the British Indian Association .

MOST HUMBLY AND RESPECTFULLY SHEWATH, THAT the countries inhabited by your Memo rialists lie on the east of the River Hooghly, and on the west of the Grand Trunk Road which runs from Calcutta to Diamond Harbour . During the rainy season , that is from the month of May to that of January, the countries in which you Memorialiets have the misfortune to live being extremely low are periodically inundated, and thus in the absence of any communicating branol 22. These gentlemen brought to my notice certain misconstructions of my orders which they [ 293 ]

from the Main Road to the interior of the coun- tries become at once impassable .

tions of the Magistrate requiring to know on what terms they would give up the land .

2. From the accompanying copy of the Magistrate's letter, His HonoHonor the Lieutenant- Governor will observe that the road is considered to be very much required , and that with my con- currence it has been included in the sketch Esti- mate already submitted to Government of works proposed to be undertaken during 1863-64 .

That your Memorialists are all men of ordinary circumstances destitute of every county which opulence affords , and that there is not a single wealthy person amongst them whose liberality, munificence, and honesty of purpose can in the lenst contribute to the interest and well - being of the whole community at large . Under these grievously painful circumstances, the total absence of any extension from the Trunk Rond is a crying want severely felt by your Memorialists .

3. With regard to the acquisition of the land, I would suggest that a remission of Revenue be allowed for all the land taken up for the road and compensation granted for any houses , &c. , which may have to be removed, and I doubt not that on these terms the Zemindars will freely give up the land .

That add to these common grievances the lower and the more indigent class of the community suffer an intolerable hardship . The small quantity of produce yielded by their soil, and which is the only scanty pittance of their subsistence, cannot be sold to advantage, owing chiefly to the incon- venience of inland communication occasioned by the want of regular and convenient roads . The ryots are thus obliged to dispose of their produce at their own houses at an unequal exchange much against their interest and will . Thus incalculable mischief is done to these poor persons which might have been effectually prevented had there existed any means which might have tended to facilitate the intercourse between distant villages and public bazars .

4. It is a most gratifying sign of the pro- gress of general intelligence and education to find the peoplepeople themselves coming forward to obtain the construction of roads . Hitherto they have invariably been averse to the opening out of the country under the impression that they would be more frequently laid open to the visit of Magis- terial Officers and to the exactions of the Police . From this change of feeling we may fairly con- clude that the Police are better kept in hand, and that benefit instead of injury is derived from the more frequent presence of the Public Officers, a result due , in a great measure , to the establish- ment of Sub - Divisions , which has led the people generally to appreciate the facilities they atford for the redress of wrong and the prevention of op- pression.

From C. F. MONTRESOR, Esq . , Magistrate of the 24 - Per- gunnahs, to the Commissioner of the Nuddea Division, -(No . 265F. , dated the 18th May 1863.) That owing to the worst and wretched condi- tion of the countries the patrolling Guards of the Police cannot regularly keep up their noctur- nal watch; besides , the local enquiries of the Police Authorities in the event ofof any unusual occurrence being stopped, and the regular and due operation of law cut short the most solemn and sacred rights of lives and properties of your Memorialists , are thus continually in- fringed and put into greatest jeopardy . The protection of law being thus tacitly inoperative, your Memorialists have the misfortune to be left helpless and bare to the mischievous intrigues of evil and designing persons .

WITH reference to your Office Docket without number, and bearing date 19th January last , I have the honor to report as follows :-

The line of proposed road from Dabeepore Than- nah to Fultah as laid down in the Petition is one that is much required in the southern part of this District , and has been proposed by me in my sketch Estimate for the current year as the continuation of the Bankipore and Oostee Road vid Dabeepore to Fultah .

That your Memorialists have no other remedy to their misfortunes except the favor of your Honor. With this view they earnestly pray that your Honor will be graciously pleased to sanction the construction of a line from Dabeepore Police Thannah to Fulta Beerushee, a distance of about six and a half British miles , as will be shewn by the accompanying Map .

At present there is no line of road across the country from east to west , and the consequence is that communication for wheeled conveyances at all times, and for foot passengers during the last six monthmonths of the year isis notnot attainableattainable thoughthe much needed.

In conclusion, your humble Memorialists most respectfully beg that should your Honor be graci- ously pleased to issue such orders as your Honor may deem meet for the completion of the object of their prayer , your Memorialists , as in duty bound, shall ever pray.

From V. H. SCHALCH, Esq. , Commissioner of the Nuddea Division, to the Secretary to the Government of Bengal , (No. 103, dated the 23rd May 1863. )

On receipt of your orders I proceeded to that part of the country where the road is proposed , and placed myself in communication with the Pe- titioners , pointing out to them that they had omit- ted to seek the co- operation of the Zemindars through whose property the proposed line runs , and requesting them to procure their assistance . I also addressed a letter to the Petitioners with this effect , but received no answer to my communication for the space of two months, when I again brought the subject to their notice, and more ver commu- nicated with the landholders myself.

I HAVE the honor to return the Petition of the Inhabitants of Burda, & c. , received with your Endorsement No. 348 of the 15th January last , the reply to which has been delayed owing to the non - receipt from the Zemindars , through whose lands the road will pass , of replies to the requisi- [ 294 ]

The portion of Canara which is now annexed to the Bombay Presidency lies between N. Lat. 14° 3′ and 15° 31' , and E. Long. 74° and 75° 10 ' . At its north part it has a breadth of miles , which increases southward to sixty,but opposite to Honore it is indented by the Mysore territory , and suddenly diminishes in breadth, and from thence gradually narrows until at its south , it is but ten iniles wide .

The enclosures of your letter under acknow- ledgment are herewith returned , together with a sketch Map prepared by me, shewing the existing and proposed lines .

On its west it has a sea- coast of 76 miles from Alvagudda to Golamelly at the north , where the Portuguese territory begins ; that territory occu- pies the strip of land , from twenty to twenty - five miles wide, that lies between the sea and the ghat line of the Soopa Talooka . Canara has the zillahs of Belgaum aud Dharwar and the Mysore terri- tory on its north, its east, and south -east bor- ders . The area of this recently annexed district is about 3,800 square miles , of which 2,700 are high land , or balaghat , and 1,100 are pacenghat or low country, on the seaboard.

From COLONEL E. L. OMMANNEY , B. E. , Officiating Secre- tary to the Government of Bengal , in the Public Works Department , to the Commissioner of the Nuddea Divi- sion, ( dated the 9th June 1863. )

The surface of Canara is greatly diversified, and in its various aspects it is very beautiful . The sea-coast is much indented , and has in some parts a rugged shore, with rocky islands near, raisedby the prprotrusion of igneous rocks, or of the older strata by them upheaved, while elsewhere there aresandyndy beaches with cocoanut plantations , and low hills beyond , with the characteristic even , nearly horizontal outline and scarped sides of the overlying laterite . Numerous estuarios and inlets give harbour to small vessels .

The tidal rivers and small backwaters are fringed with the usual salt marsh vegetation , among which the most abundant are the Rhizophora (Mangrove) , Avicennia, and Ægiceras , and on the muddy banks the holly - leafed Dilinaria is abun- dant .lant . Aquatic and wading birds are numerous , and now and then a crocodile is seen basking in the sun .

I AM directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 103 , dated the 23rd ultimo, and in reply to state that the Lieutenant- (Governor sanc- tions your accepting for the proposed road from Dabeepore Thannah to Fultah the land which the proprietors have offered to make over for that purpose without payment; but His Honor desires that so soon as the construction of the road has been definitely settled , and the land for it taken over, you will arrange for the remission of the Revenue of the whole of the land so taken, and for the payment of compensation for any huts and the like which may have to be removed.

The level land of the Paeen -ghat is fully occu- pied with cocoanut palms and rice - fields , but the slopes are only partially cultivated , and are mostly very thickly studded with trees . The spurs of the high mountains are densely wooded , and the green forest is continued up to the seriate, or crenate crests of lofty ranges that rise to an altı- tude above the sea of full three thousand feet .

On ascending the Bala-ghat, an elevation of from fifteen hundred to two thousand feet is attained, and thick forest prevails, so that it is only here and there that a view can be had of anything beyond the trees around ; and the roads now wind among small hills covered to their tops 2. The Lieutenant- Governor is gratified to observe the spirit with which the Zemindars have come forward to promote this work of public utility ; the correspondence on the subject will be published in the Supplement to the Calcutta Gazette, and you are requested to communicate the contents of this letter to the several Zemindars referred to , and to advise the inhabitants of Burda who petitioned for the road in question of the measures taken thereupon .

obstructed by a sand bank, gradually narrows, and where it again opens out on the backwater Tudree is seen on the northern shore, on a narrow beach , close under a laterite hill . There are about forty or fifty stone and mud built thatched small houses in separate enclosures, overshadowed with cocoa- nut , jack, tamarind , and mango trees . The village is injudiciously placed , being altogether sheltered from the health - giving westerly breeze, and from its easterly aspect being exposed to the land winds . The inhabitants are partly Native Christian and partly Hindoo , and they gain a livelihood as fisher- men and boatmen .

There are vacant warehouses on the shore, and on a neighbouring hill there is a bungalow which was the residence of a European Merchant, but it is now deserted and ruinous .

and between Conay and Aligudday there was a stream running from the hill . At Beitkul there was a small spring, and there were several wells in the laterite yielding good water, but from the hardness of the granite of the heights on cither hand, and the small extent of softer rock between, the supply mustbe expected to be limited ; and from the conformation of the surface there is room for apprehension that unless there be a well-devised system of drainage, and the most careful attention to municipal and private con- servancy , when the slopes are fully built upon , there will be contamination of the water by foul soakage and by surface washing in the rains . On the south shore of the Promontory from Beitkul to Bhingay there is plenty of water, said to be good , in the wells, and when I passed over the ground the irrigation streams were flowing freely from the hills .

From the laterite hill about the village a view of the surrounding country was obtained ; the nearer hills on the north and north -west were seen covered with dry grass , and thinly sprinkled with bushes , but a higher range on the east was thickly wooded. The backwater, about nine miles long , stretched northward and southward from Tudree, which stands near the middle of its wes- tern shore , it has many banks in it that are bare at low water, and on the flat beyond it there are salt pans and extensive rice- fields with cocoanut and other trees about the villages .

The gorge at Beitkul is only two hundred and fifty yards wide , and although the south end of the gap is wider , yet there is but a small extent of building ground , and it is nearly cut off from the sea breezes , except during the S. W. monsoon, while from the direction of the opening in the hill, the N. E. wind might be expected to blow through it with some force . At Conay there is a frontage westward to the bay, so that it is open to the sea breezes , but the high hills that partially encircle the plain behind might be expected to di- minish their strength .

The ground about Conay being so low there will be difficulty in carrying out so efficient a drainage as ought to be required in every town, and as this low ground is clayey , the evils of a retentive soil as sites for houses ought to be abated by filling in with a more absorbent material and building onhigh basements .

The account that was obtained of the health of Tudree was on the whole satisfactory : it was said there was usually but little sickness, and this was chiefly in the form of bowel complaint , and that the people had not suffered much from fever, and no increase of this disease had been observed in the last few years . For about a fortnight before my visit the easterly cold wind had blown with unusual severity, and since then three or four chil- dren had been laid up with fever .

There are but scanty data from which to as- certain the comparative salubrity of Beitkul , but those at command show that while the neighbour- ing country has been visited by severe epidemic fever it has had great immunity .

The high ground to the westward of the village might possibly be found a healthy place of resi- dence, but there might not be immunity even there from the hurtful influence of the night air blowing over so great an extent of water and moist ground as lies to the eastward .

Mirjan in Lat . 14° 29' Long . 74 ° 20 ' is at the south - east end of the estuary or backwater , and in direct line it is but four and a half miles from Tudrce , but the channel by which it is approached is circuitous . The shores of the backwater are lined with mangrove and other bushes that hide the rice- fields from view, and on drawing near to Mirjan the wooded hills are less distant, and the water is narrower and so shallow that at low tide a man may wade across with the water , but breast high . The water was brackish , but in the rains the flow by the river is so great as to prevent altogether the influx of salt water so far as Mirjan .

The Dispensary Returns give no useful informa- tion on this point, as the many who apply there for treatment on account of fever and other diseases are mostly persons who have acquired their ail- ments elsewhere . But as the 3rd Company Sap- pers and Miners with a known strength were sta- tioned at Beitkul from March last, its Hospital Returns maybe considered to show, so far as they go, the effects of the climate of the locality. From these Returns there were in the four months, from August to November, sixteen admissions for fever , or four a month out of a strength of one hundred and four men, or in the ratio of 38 per cent . a month , which , although a larlarger proportion than is shown in the Native Infantryantry HospitalsHos at most other stations in this circle is smaller than in that at Kolhapoor during the same months. Mirjan is on rather low ground where the Tudree River makes a bend, and several villages , or rather scattered hamlets, belonging to three separate townships , occupy the same angle of land with it . In the midst of these and about a third of a mile from the river there is the ruined Fort of Mirjan, built on the N. W. edge of a ridge of laterite, in which its deep ditch is excavated , and which gives it a position a little raised above the ground along the river bank. Its lofty, well built walls aro so covered with bushes and climbing plants as to be but little observable among the surrounding verdure , and when near the masonry is seen to be encased and bound as Tudree. As seen from the sea , the land about Unkola is table - like, with hills far to the eastward , but that hilly range gradually approaches the sea, until at the entrance of the Tudree River or creek (Lat. 14° 81' ) it ends in precipitous cliffs , indent- ed with a few nooks with sandy beaches, and in which are cocoanut groves and rice - fields . On the south of the entrance there is the somewhat isolated large mass of hill on which Rajamun Droog formerly stood . This hill is of hypogene schist , and at its northern base trap - rock is ex- posed, and there are boulders of laterite that have fallen from its summit . The entrance , which is [ 299 ]

This spur is precipitous on the soutsouth, but has a sloping descent to the north . On its summit are the houses of the few European Officers of Government, and it was the site of the small Cantonment of two Companies of Native Infantry at one time stationed there . Under the west point there is a stripe of level ground, which runs also under the south base of the hill along the river side, and on the north and north- west side the sloping descent is continued into a low flat that is bounded on the west by a small back water .

Therenhas been but little recorded epidemic sicknesdamong those resident at Honore. During the praolence of Cholera last year , the disease was inintted, and for a week or two it spread , but after hang attacked about fourteen it ceased . Fever ich has prevailed so extensively at inland places Was the last few years , has not in any verymaita degree increased here , and there are no numedea data from which to find the actual ratios of ve and other sickness in the resident population ; such can only be found where , out of aknown number, all the sick come under cogni zance. The Jail is the only institution that at Honore would afford these circumstances , but here it is in to exceptional a sanitary state as to render it unft as a criterion of the salubrity of the station . The Returns of the Police Force have a certain strengti given in them , but the men are distributed through the surrounding country , and apply at Honore or the treatment of ailments ac- quired elsewhere, and in the Dispensary Returns also there are included some cases of those who bring their diseases from other places, and in these Returns no strengthis or can be given .

As an indication of the unhealthiness of the Honore Talooka, although not of the station , the Police Hospital Returns may be used, and from them it is seen that in the year 1862 , in a total of 270 admissions , there were 161 cases of fever or about 60 per cent .

The Dispensary, Civil Hospital , and Police Re- turns , although not giving exact information re- garding Honore seprate from all other places, yet may be here quote as giving some information as to the comparaty prevalence of fever in dif- ferent years among the same classes of applicants for medical aid

The town consists of about 878 houses , and is divided into two parts, the smaller of which occu- pies the narrow belt along the south base of the spur ; the houses standing in enclosures shaded by cocoanut, jack, mango, kokum , and other trees ; the other and larger portion of the town lies on the other side of the spur , and consists of two long narrow- streets crossing at right angles , and having directions nearly north and south, and east and west, respectively. The houses are more or less contiguous , are raised on high basements , some with an upper floor, and they are built mostly of stone and mud, but a few are of stone and lime mortar ; most are thatched, but some are tiled . The streets are of laterite gravel and are in good repair , and they have side - drains for the monsoon waters. Beyond these streets the houses are de- tached in enclosures , and all are shaded with lofty trees. There is a large tank built on the west of this part of the town, and good water is obtained from wells , but it becomes rather scarce in the hot season. Under the west point there is the Dis- pensary, in which there are rooms for a few sick per- sons . The building was a private residence or warehouse, and since being rented for its present use a shed has been added to it, but it is very ill adapted for an Hospital. Near it , but more to the eastward, and shut out from the breeze , there is the old Jail so ill situated, badly constructed , over- crowded and filthy, that when one sees it , one can scarcely credit that its real state has ever come to the knowledge of those in authority . At the east end of the spur of hill, close under the western scarp of the higher table first mentioned , there is a new Jail nearly finished,finished, and although in many respects its construction and site are objectionable , yet it is far superior to the old one .

This table shows that in the last four years there has been a gradual increase in the ratio that fefever bore to other ailments , but it shows also that prior to that time the fluctuations were great , and mat although in 1862 the proportion was 28.4 , set it was greatly exceeded in 1856, when the

percentage was 41.1. During the same nine years the admissions for diarrhea and dysentery were but 5.4 per cent. of the total admissions .

The locality occupied by the European residents appears to be the best they could have chosen, and for a small detadetachment of Troops , the former Can- tonment is good. If a wider area were required, the higher eastern plateau might be resorted to, bus water would be far off. From that elevation the town below is not seen

The Sheravuttee river maintains a large size up to Gairsopa, a distance of 17 miles , and this is due to the influence of the tide that reaches thus far . In the rains the fresh water maintains its freshness to within a short distance of Honore , but after the end of the S. W. monsoon the sea water comes higher and higher up. In December the water was salt in all the lower ten miles , and in Mareh the water at Gairsopa usually is brack- ish . The shores are lined with mangrove and other salt water bushes, and the high banks above being entirely hidden by palm trees . On the north the bare slightly undulating surface of the laterite is seen extending far, and on the north-orth- west and west there is the narrow stripe of back- waterwith sand hillocks and a sandy beach/be- tween it and the open sea. On the south side there is a large expanse of water dotted with small palm covered islets , the tidal river having here in ereased to a width of two miles before joining the sea, from which it is separated, except close to Honore, by a sandy spit bearing clumps of [ 301 ]

The monsoon drainage has been judiciously pro- vided for, sons to prevent the accumulated filth of the town being carried into the tanks . The drainage of Chanputun and its vicinity passes by Moosulman Gullee clear of Kotegeeree (tank) to a watercourse on the east, called Sumgarhul ; that of Mareegoodeepet and Rungapul Bazar is carried into'Mooroodoo Nulla to the south -east of the town.

month of May following there was a sudden incroase in the admissions for fever, the ratio for that year was 195 per cent. , for 1861 it was 200 , and for 1862 it was 132 per cent . , the admissions from this cause being therefore five times as great in the last three years , as they had been in the thirteen years' Returns of the Infantry . These Policemen were not all stationed at the town of Sircy; the majority of them were distributed over the Talooka , and were thus more exposed to malarious influences than the Infantry would have been , had the Detachment still been at Sirey,, but no amount of exposure alone could have sent so many fever cases to Hospital , had the malaria not become greatly intensified.

The two tanks on the margin of the rice ground to the north have already been mentioned ; ghe of them is built round, but it has little depth, and in the hot weather its muddy bottom is in great part exposed . Kõteegeeree (or the Fort tank) was being excavated by convicts when the zillah jail was removed to Honore , and since then the work has been reliuquished ; in its present state it is but an offensive muddy pool in the hot weather. Water of good quality and in abundance is ob- tained from wells in all part of the town, and here as in almost every part of Canara much trouble is taken to have a well to almost every house . At a Huth (or temple) near the highest part of the town, I examined a well which was sunk through laterite and quartzy graved to a depth of sixty-eight feet, and in it there were eight feet ofwater.

This increase in the sickness at Sircy far as I have learnt, contemporaneous with its increase throughout the interior of North Canara, and I have been unable to find that there were any changes in the circumstances connected with the sanitary state of the town , of so sudden nature , or so great a magnitude, as to account for the rapid rise in its Hospital admissions . The sanitary state is indeed bad and calls for improve- ment . The epidemic fever has been so severe among the townspeople as to impede the transac- tion of business , and several native merchants , who had been resident for some years , are said to have left the place to escape from the sickness .

Cholerahas not been often prevalent at Sircy . In 1854 it was epidemic , and again in 1861 it was present in the town for several months , but since September of that year no cases of the disease have been heard of.

The public buildings , the Court - house, the Mamlutdar's Cutcherry, the Jail, and the Hospital are súbstantially built . The Jail is small, badly constructed and ill -ventilated, but now it has but few occupants , and they need never be over- crowded. The Hospital is most inconveniently small, and now that the demand for Hospital accommodation is great , the sick are overcrowded.

There is not much on record in the Hospital regarding the meteorology of the place . The S. W. monsoon breezes being between the first and second weeks in May, and the rains aro preceded and followed by thunder showers. Between the first and second weeks in October the change to the N. E. monsoon takes place. In December and January the N. E. wind blows strongly, and about the last week in March it ceases , and variable winds and calms succeed .

The observations on temperature appear to have beenmade with the thermometer within the house, and are therefore of little use. The mean rain- fall in ten years has already been mentioned as 76-27, this is takenfrom the register kept in the Mamlutdar's Office .

The measures for the improvement of the sanitry condition of Sircy, which seem most immediately called for , are (1 ) the deepening of the Deveegeeree, and the completeing of the Koteegeeree (tanks) . (2) The draining of the marshy pool that was formerly a tank , in hollow between the Travellers' bungalow and the Christian Burial Ground . (8) The enforcing of the order, that carts and bullocks be prohibited frommaking the space bofore the Cutcherry, or any of the streets , a halting place, and that they be restricted to the appointed locality outside of the town . (4 ) The closing of the Moosulman Burial Ground, which occupies nearly the highest ground inmiddle of the town , between Shimpikeerce and Chunputun, and granting a Cemetery in lieu, beyond the precincts ; this Burial Ground is in the most populous part of the town, and from its high position it is likely to contaminate the water ing wells . ( 5) The thorough cleansing of the enclosures in Moosulmanosulman Gullee,Gullee, and the pruning of the trees , and removal of the bushes in that foul and overshaded damp locality. (6 ) The careful and painstaking enforcement of cleanliness in the public streets and the premises of the inhabitants . of the neighbouringthe

Sirey to Sonda the road passed through Ainee forest , more or less dense ; the bottoms of the broader valley were laid out as rice- fields, and the narrowernarrower were planted with Areca palms . In one valley there was a plantation of tthe Bhirlee , (caryota urens) . The rock was still the quartz gravel , with micaceous schist underneath , and in the rivulet at Targut massess of diorite were exposed.

In former years Sircy does not appear to have been considered an unhealthy station, and the Hospital' record fationetandment that extend from 1846 to 1850, and again from 1852 to 1859, bear out this impression . The strength was but small , being of an average but 154, and with this the percentage of yearly admissions from all causes was 88.2 , whichr is not excessive when compared with that at some other stations . From tables of sickiess at the several stations of the Southern Division of the Bombay Army, from 1840 to 1854 , the ratio of admissions to strength among the Native Troops was 79.4, but among these at Kolhapoor the ratio was so high as 108.8 per cent . For fever the Sircy records show 32.9 as the ratio of admissions ,ons , while from the tables just mentioned, the ratio in the Southern Division was 31-3 and at the single Sonda is about a mile to the left of the road on a low hill on the west side of the Soandee Nullah ; it is approached by a ford at a little distance from the ruins of the old stone bridge.

be concluded that there are that number of thou- sands of acres more forest now than there would have been had the squatting not been forbidden.

In the Soopa Talooka the prohibition of Koomrce does not appear to have been so soon enforced as in Sircy, as may be seen from this table which I obtained from the Mamlutdar. This Talooka also is of an area of about a thousand square miles :-

From this it is seen that in the year when the epidemic severity of the fever began, there was a greater extent of Koomree than there had been for the three previous years .

bourhood and at Gairsopa . In the Balaghat of Canara no place seems to have immunity from the disease, and its severity is nearly equally diffused over all the Talookas . From the inquiries that I instituted at different points most of which I have mentioned above, I found that among a total of 4,481 persons there were at the time of enumera- tion 1,220 of them sick or 27.2 per cent . The percentage varied much as might be expected , as small numbers were dealt with ; at Sonda it was 31-5 , and at Soopa it was so high as 445. In grouping the observations made according to the geological character of the surface and the nature of the forest, it was found that on the micaceous schists and quartz , that is in the Ainee forest, the ratio of sick was 29.6 ; that on trappean rock or argillaceous schist bearing the Sagwunee forest, it was 149 ; and that on the laterite near the ghats , covered with Karwee , the ratio was 33.7 . The observations regarding the last two of these were less extensive than those on the inhabitants of the Ainee, and it is highly probable that were more extended inquiries to be made in the teak forests the amount of sickness would be found to be in a higher ratio than is here given. My reason for thinking so is that the unhealthines to north - eastward of Yelapoor was spoken of as exceedingly great, and Kalwar, which I have mentioned as being deserted , is in the teak forest that prevails in that part of the country .

temporary increase in the malarious influence As to the desirableness of all the ground that is now forest being brought under cultivation , I do not suppose there can be a doubt, and after the which is to be expected in new clearings , the healthiness of the district would most probably be greatly improved, but such measures as it may be expedient to adopt to bring about this cultivation can be but slow in operation and inapplicable to the removal of the present grievous evil. I regret that I see nothing worthy to be proposed for the present relief of the suffering population excepting the liberal distribution of febrifuge medicines which Government has so readily sanctioned. Analogies in other provinces of India favor the hope that the epidemic will soon subside.

In obtaining the census of the villages where I halted, I in some cases had the deaths noted , but I restricted the questions on them to the time that had intervened from the end of the last rains , as in taking a short recent well -marked period , there was less likelihood of error than if 1 attempted to get information comprising a whole year. The result was that among 2,564 persons there had been 87 deaths or 3.4 per cent . in four months , which is equivalent to 10-2 per cent . in a year .

It is very desirable that on the Public Works in Canara there should be provision made for hut- ting or other shelter for the hired labourers , as there is for the convicts and their guards , that they may not be exposed to the night air and its cold and heavy dew which all increase the liability to fever and to other sickness .

Imay add that in returning by the road through Goonjee and Khanapoor I fouud the prevalence of fever ceased close to the boundary between the North Canara and Belgaum zillahs and at the spot where the rock changes to granite , although thero is still much jungle . This affords a little support to the supposition that an intermitting telluric influence is now active in giving intensity to the fever miasm, and that the granite surface is not favorable to its transmission .

Resolution of the Government of Bombay, General Depart- ment, (dated Bombay Castle , the 30th May 1863. ) In passing through North Canara one sees on every side abundance of the circumstances favour able to the production of fever : dense forest , nar- row valleys, rocky ravines , and rice land , and this left, between the crops , in a swampy state from the irrigating steams not being properly turned off but allowed to spread their waters unrestrained . It is matter for astonishment that with such strong favoring circumstances the endemic fever is ever otherwise than severe . But when enquiry is made as to the cause of so sudden an accession of in- tensity in the febrific poison , as took place in the early part of 1860, there is nothing tangible or visible as yet found on which to base an opinion . The forests were at the time in their usual condi- tion, for I cannot imagine the diminution of the Koomrce cultivation that up to that period had taken place, or that since there has been effected , to be sufficient in any perceptible degree to affect the constitution of the air . From the information I obtained at Sircy the extent of Koomree five years ago was one thousand scres , and this was year by year diminished until it ceased in 1860. The cultivation was at the ghats , or western bor-

RESOLUTION . THE thanks of Government are due to Dr. Leith for his very able and valuable Report, which contains much useful information bearing on the subject of the epidemic sickness of North Canara, and is scientifically highly interest- ing .

2. Copies of the Report should be forwarded to the Secretary of State , the Government of India, the Government of Madras, and to the Medical and Physical Society, besidos being placed in the Editor's room .

3. Copies should also be sent to the Revenue Commissioner, S. D. , and to the Collector and Magistrate of North Canara.

der, and such influence as it had could notbe ex- pected to extend , for either good or ill , over the area of the Talooka , which is about a thousand square miles, or six hundred and forty thousand acres . In Koomree cultivation there are not always new portions of the forest cleared every year ; the same fields may be cultivated in continuance ; so that although Koomree has been stopped for a certain number of years in the Sirey Talooka it is not to [ 308 ]

Land Revenue and Forest Department, should be directed .

4. Dr. Leith's Report shews that the state- ments which had reached Government relative to the extensive prevalence of an epidemic fever differing from the ordinary fever of the district, had not in any respect been exaggerated; indeed, the statements of Dr. Leith show that the evil is far more serious and difficult of cure than was at first supposed.

9. Government has already done much to furnish medical aid and medicines, and it is clear they are valued by the people, and are useful, though far from being sufficient , to stop the spread of the fever. The Governor in Council trusts that Officers of all Departments feel assured that this kind of aid willbe freely given wherever it is capable of being applied, and wherever it is

asked for . 10. Attention should be specially drawn to the following points :-

5. Dr. Leith's Report willbe practically of great value, by defining the present limits and character of the epidemic, so that it may be possible hereafter to judge whether it is increasing or diminishing in severity or altering in type .

Page 4. In this page Dr. Leith states that he learnt that at Kangora and at Koolgee, about twelve miles from Soopah , and at Jun, near the top of the Devemunhee Ghaut, there is limestone that might be quarried. These localities His Excellency in Council would wish to be all care- fully examined, with the view of ascertaining whether the limestone beds referred to can be profitably worked .

6. But as regards the cause of this mysterious visitation, the conclusions of Dr. Leith's Report are purely negative. They are not on that account without value, and the Governor in Council consi- ders that high praise is due to Dr. Leith for resisting all temptation to hazard an hypothesis , which, however plausible, could not be relied on . His Excellency in Council trusts that Dr. Leith's observations may serve to direct the researches of other Inquirers , and thus pave the way to a dis- covery of the probable causes of the epidemic, and, perhaps, to their removal .

Page 8. The attention of the Collector and Magistrate , and of the local Committee at Sudasheogur, should be specially drawn to the observations made in this page relative to the care and attention to be paid to the system of Drainage which may be adopted at Beitkul and its vicinity.

7. With regard to remedial measures , the practical suggestions are few, but they are all of a character which Government can sanction and would desire to see carried out .

Page 21. The measures here recommended for the improvement of the sanitary condition of the Town of Sircy should be carefully attended to .

Page 25. As also the measures recommended for the same end in reference to the Town of Hullial.

8. The Revenue Commissioner has already on his own authority, and with the approval of Government, sanctioned a limited amount of " Koomree" cultivation in peculiar localities amoung the Ghauts, where it admits of being carried on without risk of injury to the timber forests . It is possible the extent of malarious jungle may thus be sensibly restricted without inflicting permanent injury on one of the great resources of the jungle population, and of the district generally. This is a point to which the special attention of the local Officers , both in the

Page 31. And lastly, the suggestion made for hutting and clothing the hired labourers employed on the Public Works of the District is of much importance in a locality where the work- people are far removed from towns or villages , and must, unless shelter is provided for them, be exposed to the deleterious effects of such an insalubrious climate.

Government of Madras .

Notes on the Propagation and Cultivation of the Medicinal Cinchonas or Peruvian Bark Trees .

of wind act on them with such force as not only to break and damage the leaves themselves, but to twist and seriously injure the plants . The Yellow and Crown Barks being small leaved species bear the wind better, and would grow in more exposed situations ; a certain amount of shelter however is desirable for the successful cultivation of all the species .

IN submitting to the public a brief outline of our experience in the propagation and cultivation of these valuable plants , I would observe that I do not presume to furnish a perfect guide to their management, as little indeed is yet correctly known of the requirements of the plants under cultivation . My object is merely to place in the hands of all who are interested in the extension and increase of this valuable product a knowledge of the management of the plants in their earlier stages, or up to the period to which our experience in their cultivation extends . The Government of Madras has already placed the Cinchonas within the reach of the general public by authorising the distribution of the plants at the moderate rate of four annus each ; it however has been felt that the distribution of the plants might in many instances lead to disappointment and failure , if unaccom- panied by instructions for their cultivation and management.

3. Sites , Aspect. The aspect of the plantations should be North or North - West ; a North -East exposure will also be found suitable where the winds accompanying this monsoon are not severe. The reason why a northern exposure in these latitudes is beneficial , is from the fact that it is much more moist during the dry season than asouthern aspect; because the sun's declination is southerly during our dry and cloudless season of the year , and thus on the northern slope the rays of the sun do not penetrate and parch the soil . A northern aspect has also the advantage of preserv- ing a much more uniform temperature than a southern aspect, because the excessive radiation and evaporation on the southern slopes greatly reduces the temperature at night , while in the day they are heated to excess by the action of the sun's raya striking the surface at nearly right angles . The practical effects of aspect on the plants are so great that they cannot be overlooked with impunity , and in order to impress this upon the minds of all who may have the selection of localities for Cinchona cultivation , I mention that the difference of tem- perature is almost incredible ; for example, at this elevation a thermometer laid on the surface of the southern face of a hill exposed to the sun at 3 P. M. will frequently indicate from 180° to 160° Fahr .:

the sume thermometer if left in its position and examined at 6 A. M. will generally be observed to indicate from 30 ° to 40° Fahr.: while on a similar slope if selected with a northern aspect the ther- mometer under the same circumstances at 3 P. M. will generally indicate 70 ° to 80° Fahr. , and at 6 A. M. from 40° to 50° Fahr. All Authors agree that Cinchonas delight in an equable temperature; and this has been unmistakably established by the 2. Selection of sites for Plantations. This is perhaps the most important task which has to be performed, as much of the future success of the plantations will depend on the suitability of the sites selected. In the first instance, the Cincho- nas require rich forest land , the surface soil con- sisting of an open black or chocolate colored loam of from two to three feet in depth , resting upon an open sub- oil , in order to give efficient drainage, as nothing is so injurious to Cinchonas as stagnant water at the roots ; therefore any land with a retentive sub - soil is altogether unsuited to their growth. The site must be well sheltered from prevailing winds ; the necessity for this arises from the leaves of the Red and Grey Barks being so large and tender "when young, that heavy gales [ 310 ]

 While on this subject, it should be observed that  The only difficulty in the successful management

young wood, our losses with cuttings has recently

not averaged 3 per cent . In removing the cuttings

from the stock plants, one or two pairs of leaves

and buds should, if possible , be left between the

plant and the part cut; this iscut; this is done in order not

to decrease the succeeding supplies of young wood,

which would be the case if the cut was made close

to the parent stem . Another circumstance very

necessary to be attended to in order to ensure

success is to be careful to place each cutting as it

is made into the pot with the cut end on a piece

of dry brick ; this must be attended to, because

where the cut is made the juice begins to flow ,

and this juice if not immediately absorbed by the

dry brick causes mildew and rot . When the

cuttings are placed in the frames , they are exposed break or throw out shoots from every bud along the whole length of the stem , and not only this but many latent buds are developed and a fine growth of young wood produced for succeeding layers and cuttings ; in this way each branch or shoot is treated as it gains sufficient size. The principle of layering we have adopted is somewhat different from that usually practised , as we found when cut the juice of the Cinchonas flowed so freely from the wound that if merely placed in the soil it was apt to cause mildew and rot. To remedy this a piece of perfectly dry brick is placed into the cut as soon as it is made ; this absorbs the juice and effectually prevents the ill effects abovemen- tioned. The layers when well rooted are removed from the parent plant , potted off, and kept in a close atmosphere for a few days until they become estab lished. In removing the layers great care must be taken; for , if they are cut off before the shoots shown in Figure 2 at A and B have attained a good size, and their leaves fairly developed, the stock or parent plant is almost certain to die off . The reason of this is the sap flows into the plant with equal vigor, but cannot be elaborated because of the removal of the leaves attached to the layer, and consequently it ferments and causes rot in

to as much light as they can bear without flagging. 12. Propagation by Buds. In December last it occurred to me that the plants could be successfully propagated by leaves with the bud attached, and as this method offered very con- siderable advantages in producing a large num- ber of plants from a limited supply of wood , we resolved to attempt the experiment , which has been carried out most satisfactorily . Plate III . , Fig. 4, illustrates the method by which this is accomplished ; the whole secret of success depends entirely on the amount of moisture given if this is supplied in excess they rot immediately,mediately, even in a day ; but if sufficientsufficien care is exercised the losses will not exceed 3 or 4 per cent. , and this percentage has not been exceeded in many thousands we have propagated in this way. By this method fine plants are obtained in every respect resembling strong healthy seedlings . The period required to form roots is nearly the same in all the species , varying from three to six weeks . In the figure above men- tioned , the pot on the left represents six Cinchona Culisaya buds put in on the 30th January 1862, which were all rooted in 41 days after, being the date on which the drawing was made by Mr. Batcock. The drawing on the right representsreprese a rooted bud of the Red Bark put in at the same time. It may be observed that it is not indis- pensable that a leaf be attached to the bud; this is no doubt a great advantage, although we have struck many buds without any leaf attached.

13. The usual way in which we prepare the buds is to remove the point of the shoots for a cutting; the stem is then divided near the middle of each internode, split down the centre, and immediately placed upon the brick in the pot : the bud itself being covered with about inch of soil, while the leaf of course projects above the surface . The pots are then plunged in damp sand and treated in every respect the same as the cuttings .

the parent plant . 10. Propagation by Cuttings . Cuttings of from three to five inches in length if planted in beds in the open air and partially shaded will form roots in from three to five months , and when a rapid increase of the plants is not an object , this is Perhaps perhaps the safest andand cheapest plan of propaga- tion; but where the object isis to increase thethe plants rapidly, a propagating house as in Plate II is indispensable; the cost of a structure of the description and size given being from Rupees 800 to Rupees 1,000 , where labour and material can be procured at a reasonable price. The plate above referred to gives full particulars of the construc- tion and application of this structure , the fuel used by us being wood; the furnace is however equally well suited for the consumption of peat or coal . With the aid of a propagating house, the youngest wood that can be procuredprocured is the best adapted for making cuttings , as youngas young tender shoots, a fort- night or three weeks old, form roots in a very short space of time ; the majority of these cuttings being invariably rooted within a month . It is however difficult to deal with this description of wood, and to secure success requires a great amount of care. The earth in which these cuttings are placed is prepared as before described for the seeds ; it is however kept a little drier. The cuttings on being made are placed around the sides of the pots, the cut end of each being pressed firmly on a piece of dry brick , as shown in the illustration in Plate III , Fig 3. Each pot contains from 20 to 25 cuttings, and as they are filled, they are immediately removed to the propagation frames, and plunged into beds of damp sand on a bottom

14. Nurseries , formation of, in the open air.- Terraces nearly horizontal (having only sufficient fall on one side to carry off the water) 80 to 100 yards in length and 7 feet in width, being cut along the face of a hill in a succession of steps , as illustrated in Plate IV, until the number of beds require to form the nursery bebe obtained, the surface of the beds is then covered with rich vegetable soil from the forest , and dug over to the depth of 18 inches , leaving 15 inches nearest the bank not dug; this undug portion being slightly hollowed out forms a pathway and drain, heat of about 75° Fahr . 11. The cuttings are now carefully watched , the surface and the leaves being moistened by a fine syringe when the atmosphere in the frames appeurs dry ; they are, however never watered , it being very necessary to ensure success to avoid this , as we have invariably found that when the earth is once watered it causes the cuttings to damp off, and seriously retards their rooting. The cause of this appears to be that the cuttings not only suffer from excess of damp , but when the soil is watered in the usual way after the [ 312 ]

so as to draw off the rain water, and prevent it from running over the beds . This being com- pleted, forked sticks 3 feet in height above the surface and 4 feet apart are placed along the front of the beds or terraces ; the same description of sticks (but 5 feet in height above the surface) are placed along the back of the beds , or on the outer edge of the pathway, or drain above described . Upon these perpendicular forked sticks , horizontal ones are placed for the support of the thatched hurdles , which are used in covering the beds , while the young plants are being transplated, and until such time as they have become established ; when the hurdles are removed by degrees , by raising them more and more daily, according as the plants indicate their ability to bear the effects of light and sunshine.

15. The terraces are now again dug over their entire width , with the exception of the pathway, and formed into small beds 5 feet 9 inches in length and 1 feet wide , with a pathway of 1 foot between each bed ; these beds are now ready for the recep- tion of the young plants , which are planted in rows across the bed, 6 inches apart , the plants being 4 inches apart in the row, which gives 110 plants to each small bed, or 10 rows with 11 plants in each ; this allows for the spaces lost at the ends and sides of the beds . Of course, the plants in the nurseries require watering, when the weather is dry and even if showery , so long as they are covered with the grass hurdles . In mild showers it will be found beneficial to the young plants , even if not well established, to remove the grass hurdles while the rain is falling, but they should again be covered

immediately the rain ceases .

16. In placing the plants in the nursery beds, it is desirable that a small clump of moss be placed inthe rows a few inches under the roots of each plant . The object of the moss being placed under the plants is to prevent them from suffering when transplanted, as the roots grow into the clump of moss , which enables us to remove the plants with a ball of earth when permanently transplanted into theplantation.

liability of the trees left standing on the borders of the patches to be blown down and damage the plants within their reach. The system of cultiva- ting the Cinchonas in partially cleared land is liable to the same objection, for the forest trees when deprived of a portion of the support upon which they were accustomed to lean are also liable to be blown down ; and moreover this system has the further and more serious objections of shading the plants too much from the sun , while they are subjected to the damaging effects of the drip during the rains, and the roots of the forest trees immediately fill up and choke the holes into which Cinchona plants are placed, thus depriving the young plants of all nourish- ment. In our experiments here we have planted a considerable extent of land in this way, but I fear with such bad results as will ultimately render it necessary to clear away the remaining forest trees. In the greater part of our operations, the whole of the forest has been felled, and on that which is planted the growth of the plants has been much more satisfactory than that of those placed under any degree of living shade . I there- fore feel convinced that the open system of planting will be the only successful one, especially on the Neilgherries ; it is true, that while the plants are young, this system has also disadvantages , which should not be overlooked . I refer to the excessive evaporation and radiation during the bright and cloudless season, when our dry and cold weather prevails. We have hitherto combated this diffi- culty by sheltering the plants with a temporary shading of bamboo or fern, as illustrated in Plate V. Many hundreds of our plants, however, have passed through this dry season without any pro- tection whatever ; and although their growth has not been so rapid , their health is quite equal , if not superior, to any of those protected by artificial shade, and it is probable that during the spring and rainy season the growth will be more rapid in the plants without shade than in those which have been shaded ; should this prove to be the case, the system of artificial shading willbe abandoned alto- gether, except when the plants are newly trans- planted. With these remarks , which are intended to enable the public to draw their own conclusion, I now proceed to detail the system of cultivation I would recommend.

18. Cultivation . Preparation of Sites . The sites being selected, the operation of felling is begun at the lowest portion of the land, and proceeding with the work upwards , until the whole is completed . Belts of forest maybe left upon the ridges to give shelter ; but those must be pretty wide, otherwise they will be destroyed by the fire in burning the fallen forest . After the 17. Cultivation . The question as to the way in which the land should be prepared for the cul- tivation of Cinchonas is one that has been much discussed since the beginning of this experiment ; we have advocated that the land should be entirely cleared of forest , at least so much of it as may be planted with Cinchonas . In very exposed situa- tions, or such as are subject to occasional storms and high winds , perhaps it might be well to clear small patches of a few acres in extent here and there throughout the forest, in order to ensure shelter . The only objection to this system exists in the [ 313 ]

forest has lain for a sufficient time to become dry and fit for burning , the afternoon of a dry day with a brisk wind is selected for this operation . A row of coolies being placed about twenty or thirty yards apart across the entire length of forest at its lowest extremity , each provided with a firestick and a large bundle of dry grass, the grass being carefully placed among the leaves of the fallen trees opposite to each man, at a given signal the whole is set on fire at once, thus im- mediately generating a force of fire which consumes nearly the whole of the trees , and saves an im- mense deal of after labor in lopping and burning. By thus firing the forest a good burn ( as Planters term it) is almost certain , whereas, if the forest is only set on fire in one or two places , it travels comparatively weakly through the trees , consuming only the leaves and the small branches . The burning being finished, the next operation is to lop and burn such portions as are entangled by the stems of the trees .

19. This operation finished, the lines of road are then marked in such positions as to render the different parts of the plantation easily accessible . The next operation is that of lining or marking off the distances at which the plants are to stand apart . For C. Succirubra, C. Calisaya, and the varieties of Grey Bark, the lines should be placed 10 feet apart, and for the varieties of the Crown Barks 8 feet apart; this being done, the land is trenched over 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep along the lines, and the plants planted in the trenches at 10 feet apart . In placing the plants in the trenches they should stand alternately, that is, the plants of the second row should be in the centre of the vacancies of the first row. When trenching is considered too expensive , pits may be dug for the reception of the plants , 3 feat square, 2 foet deep, and 10 or 8 fect from contre to centre, according to the species intended to be planted . When filling in the holes the best surface soil mixed with charcoal and the burned earth is to be selected.

at a time are placed in a basket and conveyed to the Planter, who raising the plant from the it rests ; neither should any plant be buried basket between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand , while with the right hand he supports the ball of earth, at the same time conveying the plant to the hole made for its reception , where being deposited , the loose earth is fillel in lightly around the roots, and the plant shaded by a few palm or fern leaves . If the weather continue dry, the plants should be watered in the mornings or evenings, until they become established . It may here be observed that no plant should ever be watered while the sun is shining upon it, as every globule of water forms a lens, which burns up the portion of the leaf on which deeper in the ground than the collar, or union of the stem and roots . When a portion of the stem is buried in transplanting, the growth of the plant is much retarded , and it does not, as some suppose , give a firmer hold of the ground, but the reverse . When manure canbe obtained , its application will be found to be highly beneficial , as Cinchona plants like the Coffee delight in a good soil well enriched by manure . If used too fresh , the application of manure might prove injurious ; it is therefore always safest to apply such manure only as is well decomposed . When the planting is finished, the young plants must be carefully attended to until such time as they become established ; should the weather prove wet with high gales of wind , the fern or date leaves used for shading should be removed to such a distance as not to touch or rub upon the plant when moved by the action of the wind. When it is necessary to stake young plants in order to give them support two stakes should be used, being driven into the ground opposite to each other at from a foot to eighteen inches from the stem of the plant , then around these stakes , and passing from the one to the other, a piece of coir rope is stretched in a double line enclosing the plant, the point where the ropes pass the stem of the plant being secured against rubbing by a clump of soft moss being wrapped round it . The plants being once fairly established, the plantations like those of Coffee will merely require to be occasionally weeded , and the surface turned over from time to time , in order to permit of the action of the atmosphere upon the soil .

20. Planting. The best season for plauting is the early part of the year, or after the ground is well soaked by the first showers ; this gives the plants time to be well established before the setting in of the dry weather . Damp, cloudy, or foggy weather , without rain, is the best for planting, and when the soil is comparatively dry , that is , in a state that it will not clog and adhere together, which is the case with all soils, when worked during heavy rains. In placing the plants in the holes the roots must not be pressed with the hand, as this invariably causes decay ; six to eight plants being taken from the nursery

21. It may be expected of us to answer the very natural , and probably the first question which will ariso in the mind of every Planter , namely, " How will Cinchona cultivation pay ? " Although we have not yet practically answered this question , I feel called upon to contra liet a very erroneous notion which has been extensively propagated , [ 314 ]

left to take their place ; and this operation should be continued on successive branches until the eighth or nineth year, by which time the branches marked BB could againbe removed, and so on for any number of years . Judging from the growth the plants have attained here, it would not be too much to estimate 1 lb. of Bark from each tree as the produce of the first pruning , or 500 lbs . per acre; but reducing this estimate to one -half, or 250 lbs . of Bark per acre , as the average produce from the fourth to the eighth year, after this date a rapidly increasing supply would be obtained as the trees gain size ; and with this yearly pro- duce an amount of Bark will be annually stored up in the trunk to be made available at a future date, perhaps 40 or 50 years , when the entire tree might be felled; but a year prior to the operation of fel- ling, a triangular incision of 2 inches each way should be made entirely through the Bark, and the piece of Bark removed as illustrated in Plate VI, Fig 3. This would cause the development of buds at E, and a number of young shoots would imme- diately spring from the base of the triangular in- cision as illustrated in Fig . 2. F .; when these shoots have attained a height of 3 to 4 feet or more, the trunk may be felled immediately above them , one of the finest shoots on each side being selected to take its place, and the small shoots removed . The average yield of large trees of the C. Succi- rubra is estimated at 500 lbs . of Dry Bark .

that " Cinchona trees will not produce Bark under forty or fifty years. " It is not desirable to be over sanguine as to the produce to be obtained from any new cultivation, but still the advantages which the Cinchonas offer should be taken fairly into consideration . In the early part of this ex- periment it occurred to me that a small produce might be obtained in the sixth or seventh year alter planting ; but since that time I have reason to believe that a small harvest of Bark will be pro- cured even earlier, and that Cinchonas will not be far behind Coffee or Tea in the period which must elapse between the time of planting and that of reaping the first harvest . This opinion has been considerably strengthened by the analysis of Mr. Howard, noted at foot,* of a small portion of young Bark grown on the Neilgherries ; this Bark was forwarded in July last , or fifteen months after the receipt of the first Cinchona plant in India, a portion of the Bark being from wood of only eight months growth . Another serious objection urged against the profitable cultivation of Cinchonas is the supposed necessity of felling the trees in order to procure the produce, because this has been usu- ally done on the Andes . There can however be no doubt that such a system can never be put into operation with plants under cultivation ; as the opinion which we at first advanced has already been well confirmed, namely, that constant and uniform yearly supplies of Bark can be obtained by simply lopping and pruning the trees ; and as this opera- tion if conducted with skill will benefit rather than injure the plants, there can be no doubt that it will be uniformly adopted . Plate VI . gives a general idea of the principle of lopping and pruning recom- mended. The plants should be induced to branch as near the ground as possible, and in the fifth year the two branches are removed at the line A A; the branches below, marked B B, would inmediate- ly take their place, preserving the uniform growth and appearance of the trees . In the sixth year the branches at the line CC would be cut off in like manner, the small branches marked DD being

22. There is another advantage possessed by Cinchonas over every other cultivation, that is the great difference between the market value of the produce and the cost of production. This state oi the market has been brought about by the supplies of Bark from the South American forests yearly , decreasing , while the demand for the inestimable medicine is increasing , and its application in diseases extending . The average market price of Peruvian Bark produced by the best species may at present be estimated at from five to six shillings per pound of Dry Bark , while judging froin the progress our plants have made here the cost of production of this quantity of Bark cannot possi bly exceed three pence .

Bark of Bolivia ; it was common on the moun- tains of Uritusinga, and grows at elevations from 6,000 to 8,000 feet . A general opinion prevails among the Cascarilleros that the Bark of this species " differs in quality according as it is ex- posed to the morning or evening sun. " species grows to a lofty tree, and is the most valuable known, being the richest in Alkaloids, which generally amount to as much as 3 to 4 per cent. , and thus " fair average samples are valued in the market at more than twice the price of Calisaya Bark. " The present price of Red Bark varies from 28. 6d. to 88. 9d. per pound of Dry Bark . This sort is also hardy, its range of growth extending from 3,000 to 8,000 feet ; the plant, according to Mr. Spruce , prefers open ground with " plenty of air, light , and room, " wherein to develope its proportions, the Bark " is thin in proportion to the diameter of the trees "when growing at low elevations , and thick in " proportion when growing at high elevations. " The amount of " Alkaloids is also much affected by " elevation. Mr. Spruce informs us that Senor "Cordoves (who has analysed the Red Bark , col- " lected at various altitudes) found that the greater " the height at which the tree grows the larger is " the proportion of Alkaloids contained in the " Bark ."

Cinchona Condaminia, the " Cascarilla Colorada del Ray" or " Cascarilla Amarilla," the " Rusty Crown Bark" of English commerce and of equal value to the preceding species , to which it is nearly allied , inhabiting the same localities, but perhaps growing at greater elevations . In the days of Pavon , this was a slender tree of little more than 24 feet. in height , and is considered to be the species that produced the Bark which cured the Countess of Cinchon . At the present time Mr. Cross informs us " but few trees are to be seen of these dimen- " sions. The plant's from which the Bark of com- "merce is now taken are in general not more than " eight to ten feet in height . When the plants " are cut down three or four young shoots or "suckers in general spring up; but this does not " always happen, as some of the more industrious " Cascarilleros frequently pull up the roots and " bark them also . The Bark is taken from the " smallest twigs , thus the annual growths are " sometimes taken, especially if they are strong. "Mr. Cross also observes that the alluvial deposit " in the ravines where this species is found grow- " ing is shallow and in many places not more than " six inches in depth . "

temperature sometimes falls to 27° Fahr . Cinchona Crespilla ( C. Crispa Tafalla) , or " fine Crown Bark . " This species is a small shrub , and contains a smaller quantity of Alkaloids than the preceding ; still it brings a high price in the market, being a " very fragrant and pretty looking Burk . " It grows at great elevations (from 7,000 to 10,000 feet) in a deposit of peat, and where the Cinchona Calisaya, or " Yellow Bark of Bolivia . " This species grows to the height of a large forest tree and was long considered the most valuable of all the medicinal Barks, and certainly it was so until the discovery of the Red Bark ; the present price of Calisaya or Yellow Bark varies from 2s. 10d. to 78. per lb. Of this species we have evi- dently two varieties very distinctly marked, even when growing under the same conditions . Accord- ing to Mr. Markham and Dr. Weddell, " the tree "Calisaya grows on declivities and steep rugged "places of the mountains 5,000 to 6,000 feet " above the sea , in the hottest forests of Caravaya " and Bolivia. " Subsequently , Mr. Markham in writing of this species states : " There can be no " doubt that the correct method of cultivating the "Cinchonas is planting them out in the open "with plenty of light and air. They may require " shade from the direct rays of the sun at first. " The only really fine well grown plant of Cin- "chona Calisaya that I saw in Caravaya was one " that had been planted in a small clearing entirely " exposed ; those in the forest were poor straggling " things in comparison."

Cinchona Lancifolia from Java or " Pataya Bark. " This is a valuable species, it is also hardy and easily cultivated , inhabiting the high and cold regions of the Andes . Dr. Karsten observes that " it descends only to a hight of 2,000 metres (6,170 feet) above the sea, from the cold summits of the mostly snow - capped mountains , where it sometimes reaches the upper limits of the growth of trees, that is 3,500 metres , (10,797 feet. ) Mr. Howard observes that this species produces a Bark which rivals in their rich product of Quinine the Barks of Bolivia and consequently commands a very high price, "

Cinchona Uritusinga, the " Cascarilla fina" or " Original Loxa Bark " introduced by J. E. Howard, Esq . This species, which in the days of La Condamine was a noble and lofty forest tree , is now almost extinct , the trees of a large size having entirely disappeared from the Andes ; it is rich in Alkaloids , good specimens giving a total of 3-8 per cent ., and in this respect it equals the Calisaya [ 316 ]

Lorter route for River Steamers from the Mutlah River te Dacca.

merandum by the Superintending Engineer , South- Eastern Circle .

the undersigned knows the route tolerably well also, the channels change much, but there was a safe route for Steamer up to the end of February last, and most likely there always will be ; the route is not very circuitous , there are some windings to the west of Jalookatee , which might be improved if the time gained would be worth the cost, but on the whole this part of the route requires little improvement .

Chief Engineer in his No. 5951 of 21st o, says: " it will be well for us to consider ubject of connecting Dacca by a series of gable Canals with Calcutta."

10. In the Memorandum quoted above, written in 1858, the saving of time by Steamers adopting the proposed route is fully discussed, there is no copy in the Superintending Engineer's Office.

Dacea, as the Chief Engineer is probably e, is already connected with Calcusta by a of Navigable Canals for the greater part of istance. By two series the Chief Engineer no means to improve the existing routes by cening them , or deepening them, or by both .

11. The route taken by boats to or from Dacca is shown on the Map by the blue lines, the route between the Mutlah and Khoolna is at present on the Books of this Department , and receives as much attention as it can receive, boats will not leave this route to go vid the yellow line, on account of the large Rivers and uninhabited country through which they would have to pass . In considering , then, the question of the improve- ment of a line for boats attention may be confined entirely to the part of the route between Khoolna and Dacca .

The trade between Calcutta and Dacca is ed on at present by two means of transit, ners and Boats . In considering what improve- should be undertaken, the means of transit accommodated must be kept in view , as ch requires different accommodation ; a el may be large enough for boats, but too for Steamers , or it may be too large for though well suited for Steamers , the kooree Khall and the Megna River are es.

12. The objections to the present route from Khoolna to Dacca are 1st , it is circuitous ; 2nd , parts of it are shallow; 3rd, the large Kivers are extremely dangerous during about nine months of the year .

18. As to the first objection the only improve- ment which is practical is to make the Cuts shown by the dotted blue lines ; Nos . 1 and 2 might be made with great advantage , No. 3 , would not be worth the cost .

Again, the position and importance of the rt of Matlah must have some influence on stion ; instead of " between Calcutta and perhaps " between the Mutlah and may be substituted ; if the Mutlah is good thing all the Eastern trade will be taken e and shippoel direct from it, as it now Lederally passes b or near it.

14. As to the second objection, the shallow parts occur at A, B, C, D, the worst are B and D. , B could be improved by deepening, and there would be a fair chance ofof the Khall remaining remaining deep when done. Improvement at D is impracti- cable , it is a shifting sand , changing every year.

5. Attention then will be confined to the improvement of the water communication between The Mutlah and Dacca , and the consideration will embrace both means of transit, adopting a separate route for each where required .

15. There is no remedy for the third evil ; at certain seasons , when the country is flooded, boats run up Khalls , or even over the land, and so avoid the large River to some extent, but the route is very dangerous , many boats and lives are lost in it every year .

6. The improvement of a line for Steamers was thought of so long ago as 1858. When the Mut- lah was first started, the undersigned then wrote a Memorandum for the Lieutenant - Governor, (Mr. Grant ) proposing the examination of a line rom the Mutlah to the Balessur River, see plan, ed line ; this line was partially examined, and the nelusion was arrived at, that the yellow line on plan was a better route.

16. There are only two other lines which seem at all practicable, they are coloured green and brown on the plan. First as to the green line , if it were made navigable and could be kept so it would be a great improvement on the present route, making the journey comparatively safe and shortening the distance 30 or 4010 milesmiles, or about one - fifth of the whole .

The undersigned has had a good deal of rience since he wrote the letter quoted above, now believes that the channel between the lah and the Roymungle, where the red and ow lines run together, should be avoided by mer, if possible , it is the route for all boats ing to Mutlah , the difficulty of steaming ugh without collisions with the boats is great; ieu of it the yellow dotted line should be mined, and if it can be made navigable at a reasonable cost it might be adopted .

17. There is no difficulty connected with it until Booshenea Thanna is reached, there a new Cut of great depth should be made, the Khall up to Rungpore should be deepen- ed and improved, and a new Cut made from Rungpore , or Taltollaah , to the Puddar, of great depth also, no more difficulty save a big and dangerous River for a short distance until Hilsamaree Khall is reached, that should be opened , deepened, and improved , and either a new Cut made across to the Booreegunga or the old route vid the Dullassur followed.

8. The part of the yellow line between the Pusser River and the Ballessur also requires careful examination, it it be found practicable to improve it, or use without improvement, no doubt it is the best line to follow , it would require a Coaling Station at Morelgunge, or at the entrance of the Damoodah River.

18. There is no difficulty beyond the cost in executing the improvements noted above, but as to the permaneney of the work when done, the nature of the country in which the Cuts must be made and the character of the Rivers to which they must join are discouraging in the extreme ;

9. The remainder of the route from the Da- moodah River to Dacca was surveyed by Mr. Pearson, his survey was returned to Chief En- gineer with this Office No. 2209 quoted above ;

mile. It should show in figures the width and depth of the Rivers at low water . Another plan plotted to a scale of 4 inches to the mile should be given of all portions requiring im- provements, itit should show the depth and width in more.detail , the length of proposed new Cuts , and the height of the land over low water.

8. Neither of the two Cuts proposed near Manikgunge needbe made, the advantage to be gained by making them would not be at all commensurate with the cost . They would shorten the distance only a few miles .

6. When two or three lines have been survey- ed to enable the Surveyor to decide which to adopt, the plot of all should be given on the plan.

9. The Damoodah River need not be im proved, as the route vid Kholsa River is only fou miles longer, and by taking it the crowd of boats which is generally in the Damooda , will be avoided.

10. The Coaling Station, if the new route b adopted, may be at Burrisaul , it is not too far, and as it is a large Station and Bazar , th public will be benefitted by the Steamer stoppin there for Coal .

11. Captain Pearson states that all the part of the route not marked by him as requiri improvements are quite capable of accommodatin the largest River streams .

7. The Surveyor should be furnished with the plan of Canals Division (4 inches to a mile) on which the lines are marked , and with any stationary or instruments which he may require . Coals should be sent to him to such points as may be fixed on , so that he may not lose time steaming back and forward for it . This should be done by the Executive Engineer of Canals , who knows the route and has been on it . The Executive Engi- neer should also be directed to order his Overseers to give all the assistance they can to the Surveyor, if called on .

8. The correspondence in the Office shows how the Surveyor is to be paid .

12. Supposing Steamers to make an avera of seven miles an hour, I find the time saved starting from the Mutlah and taking the route will be about twelve hours steam twenty- four hours of passage.

(Sd.) H. LEONARD, C. E. ,

Superintending Engineer, South - Eastern Circle.

13. The time saved by Steamers leaving Mutlah and taking the new route compared those leaving Calcutta and taking the old will be about twenty - four hours ' steam , or eight hours of passage .

2. The Survey does not extend beyond the Damoodah River, because beyond that point there is no likelihood of any improvement being made.

15. Any calculation I could make as t exact amount of benefit would be mere specn the object is to open a better route to a p undeveloped District, how much its develo may be facilitated by opening such a work I say, but it seems very certain that a good S passage, a fertile District , and its port of shu must be of great advantage.

3. I have discussed the matter over with Mr. Pearson since his return, and have arrived at the following conclusions (Sees Plan of route , four miles one inch) .

16. The distance from Calcutta to Burrisaul vid old route is

From Calcutta to Burrisaul vid new route From Mutlah to Burrisaul vid

old route From Mutlah to Burrisaul new route

4. The Cut between the Kalinda and Jaboona should be made, it is only about a mile long , it will shorten the route eighteen miles , and there is every probability that, if made, it would keep open, because the tide in the Kalinda is fully an hour earlier than that in the Jaboonah, conse- quently it would run through and most likely keep the Cut clear .
