Madras. MISCELLANEOUS.

GAIETIES.

Public Rooms.-The assembly on Monday evening boasted as brilliant a display of beauty and fashion as ever graced a Madras ball-the company began to assemble about nine o'clock, and dancing commenced soon afterwards - during a later part of the evening, the rooms were so crowded, that it was difficult to move with any degree of comfort-we therefore seriously recommend the managing committee to procure more spacious apartments for future assemblies-the present rooms are manifestly too small, notwithstanding the new arrangement of laying out the supper tables below. In noticing the spirit and gaiety of the party, we need only to mention, that no less than ten sets of quadrilles were danced; in fine, nothing could be more animated than the last assembly.-Mad. Cour. Nov. 11.

Government House.-Lady Munro gave her first grand rout, since her return to the Presidency, on Friday evening. It was most numerously and fashionably attended. The hall was opened about ten,

with a country dance, (which peculiarly national dance, we take this opportunity of mentioning, has again become fashionable at Almack's), after which, quadrilles resumed their unlimited sway during the rest of the evening. We could say much in praise of the lovely hostess-of her affable and polished manners—and of her unceasing exertions to promote the comfort and happiness of her numerous guests

of the exquisite flavour of the viands, &c. &c.; but this might pass with those who know us not, for adulation to the powers that be, and so, as the Irishman says, We will say nothing.-Ibid. Nov. 29.

Madras Spring Meeting-Our sporting

friends will no doubt learn with the same feelings of pleasure which we have ourselves experienced, that the cloud, which has lately spread its baneful influence over the Madras turf, has been dispelled; and that we shall at the ensuing meeting most probably see as excellent sport, and as good running, as our course ever afforded. Although most of the favourite horses have quitted this course for climes where racing has met with greater patronage than here; yet from the number and quality of the horses which are in training, and from the friendly and liberal disposition which has this season been displayed in providing the material for sport, we may expect with confidence, that the Madras course will this year regain that name for producing the best running horses in India, which it

formerly obtained. The subscription has been most liberally supported this season. -Ibid.

SIR ALEXANDER CAMPBELL.

When Sir Alexander Campbell was in his last moments, he dictated a dying request, that some notice should be taken of his friend and military secretary, Major Wetherall, of the royal regiment. This request he could not sign, but it was signed by the Deputy Adjutant-General, and transmitted to the Duke of York. Major Wetherall has, in consequence, been made a Lieutenant Colonel, from the day of the General's death! A similar request was transmitted through the Government to the Court of Directors, in favour of Lieutenant-Colonel Conway, C. B., the Adjutant-General of the coast army, but the result is not yet known. It is certainly cheering to record the occurrence of such an honourable testimony as that borne by the Royal Duke, to the character of General Campbell, rendered still more valuable and gratifying by the promptitude and date of the promotion.-Mad. Gov. Gaz. Nov. 10.

MADRAS APPRENTICING SOCIETY.

We have at length the satisfaction of introducing to our readers, the Madras Apprenticing Society, to which we made some allusion about six months ago. The delay on the part of the managers of this institution in announcing it to the public, is attributable, we are informed, to causes which they could not control; and it is undoubtedly gratifying to see them now come forward, with some evidence of giving effect to the laudable purposes for which the liberality of the public has been, and still is, solicited.

A Sub-Committee was appointed last mouth, to ascertain and report upon the facilities that exist for giving immediate effect to the objects of the institution,the number of lads that can now be disposed of to the different trades at Madras,

and, generally, to consider of the most eligible plans that could be adopted by the society, in pursuance of the objects which it embraces. It affords us sincere pleasure to be able to state, as a partial result of the Sub-Committee's enquiries, that some of the principal tradesmen at Madras have consented to lend their aid to the society; an example which, it is hoped, will be readily and generally followed by the whole body.

The managers are accordingly prepared to entertain twenty boys, to dispose of among the tradesmen who have so liberally come forward to co-operate with the society.—Mad. Gaz.

BURMESE EXECUTION.

DEATH OF THE NABOB OF THE CARNATIC.

the execution. A few hundred yards, in the river, and close to its bank, under a large tree, was the spot selected. A frame of bamboo was instantly erected, crossed horizontally by others, to which the victim was bound, the arms and legs extended to the utmost; over his head was written his crime on a board, and his accomplices were his executioners. Every thing being now ready, one of the executioners advanced, and after a short preamble, raised his sword and with one blow, in a longitudinal direction, completely disemboweled his victim. The unfortunate wretch was left to linger out his miserable existence in the most cruel agonies. This dreadful punishment was just what I should have expected from such sanguinary barbarians, and I left the ground with feelings of horror and disgust.-Mad. Cour. Nov. 1.

MISREPRESENTATION.

We shall never be at a loss to account for the sensation said to be created in England by the Burmese war, so long as Mr. Buckingham's Oriental Herald is taken to be the organ of correct information.

In the April number we were favoured with the account of the "Barrackpore massacre," and in the late one for May we have a very pompous article, headed "Discreditable proceedings of the British Authorities at Rangoon."-Mr. B. derives his intelligence, he informs his readers, from private letters direct from Rangoon, and which must therefore be authentic, particularly as containing important news, which, from the state of the press in this country, would not have been allowed to transpire. Much as is vaunted about a fettered press, we have to thank ourselves that it is still sufficiently open to allow of our contradicting whatever we consider to be untrue (of course from incorrect information) stated by Mr. B. Far be it from us to accuse him of wilful misrepresentation-if we are to believe his professions, truth is his motto -and considering he is far removed from the scene of action, we feel more disposed to pity than to blame him. If we are to credit Mr. B's assertion, the gentlemen forming the Prize Committee at Rangoon, confiscated all the private property they were able to lay their hands on, not allowing any person to claim it-the contrary of this is notoriously the fact. Again, he says, that bamboo fences, erected by the natives for the protection of their villages, were magnified into stockades, and all the people, men, women, and children, put to the sword in cold blood. No quarter was given on either side, says the redoubtable editor of the Herald-this is not the case, particular orders being issued to prevent unnecessary slaughter, and so far

from the wounded Burmese not being humanely treated, they received the same care and attention as our own sepoysthese are only a few of the mistakes of Mr. B.-to follow him through his maze of fact and fiction, requires more time and attention than we are inclined to bestow, for they are so interwoven that it would be no common undertaking.—Mad. Cour. Sep. 13.

ARRIVAL OF SIR G. RICKETTS AND SIR T. PRITZLER.

Sir G. Ricketts, Puisne Judge of Madras, and Major-General Sir T. Pritzler, G. C. B., landed on Saturday under the salutes due to their rank.-Mad. Cour. Nov. 8.

SIR CHARLES COLVILLE.

Bombay Castle, Nov. 23, 1825.-His Exc. Lieut. Gen. the hon. Sir Charles Colville G. G. B. and K. T. S. having resigned his situation of Commander-inchief of the army of Bombay, and his seat as a member of the Government, has embarked in the hon. Company's vessel Palinurus, for the purpose of proceeding to England by the way of the Red Sea.

The Governor in Council has the greatest pleasure in recording, on this occasion, the high sense he entertains of the zeal and ability of which his Excellency has afforded so many proofs as a Member of Council, and of the valuable advice and support which he has always received from him in that capacity.

The high military reputation of Sir Charles Colville scarcely admits of an addition from any testimony that can now be borne to it, but the Governor in Council considers it a duty to acknowledge the great benefit derived from his services as Commander-in-chief, and to return him the thanks of this Government for the manner in which he has discharged the functions of that important station.

The hon. the Governor in Council is pleased to appoint Maj. Gen. Samuel Wilson, the senior officer on the staff, to be commander of the forces.

Maj. Gen. Wilson, will take his seat as president at the Military Board.
