Di-aura the few days that must still elapse before the reply of the Federal Government can reach this country, every item of American news has of course an absorbing interest, and is scruti aimed with peculiar vigilance and from almost every point of view. Even floating rumours of the vaguest kind will naturally be received with avidity ; nor ran it be considered surprising if they acquire for the time an exaggerated importance. This will probably be the case during the next twenty-four hours with the telegrams we publish this morning. In the main they are, it is true, very much what we might have expected to re. ceive. But their various statements are, at the same tune, so brief, so confused, if not contra dictory, and so confined to the mere feeling of the moment, that they scarcely enable us to judge of the general unpressioo produced by the English demand at New York, while they throw no real light whatever on the probable action of the Federal Cabinet. Telegrams from the City of Washington steamer, which carried not only fuller news of the effect which the seizure on board the Trent had produced in England, but also the Government despatches on the subject, arrived at New York on the I:ith, and the tele grams from that city we publish this morning describe the date of public feeling during the three following days. They all agree in stating that the excitement produced by the unexpected intelligence was extreme. The shock on the Ex change was at first so great that teaand coffee were withdrawn from the public sales, while public se centime and the rates of exchange were heavily allotted. This feeling of strung excitement seems to have been general throughout the city, but, as might naturally be expected, as soon as the first surprise was over, the agitation began to subside. The account next day takes a decidedly quiet and pacific tone. " Public feeling has been calmer, " and the idea prevails that there will be no " war. There is a great disposition to do what is " right." The fresh news brought from England by the Jura, which arrived at New York the next day, seems to have revived and increased the excitement. The same telegram, however, states that " the Washington Cabinet is discussing the " demands of the English Government with mode " ration;" adding, " the general impression is that " the Southern Commissioners will under no " circumstance+ be given up." But up to the date of the latest intelligence this is merely an impression, nothing, it is clear, being really known at New York about the discussions or the inten tions of the Federal Government. The main fact of them telegrams is, that the news from England had produced a shock of sur prise and a feeling of strong excitement in New York. And this is precisely what the previous news from America, received during the last few days, would have prepared us to expect. Almost everything had conspired to lull the New York public into a state of false security on the subject of the Treat. The capture of the Comminketers produced at first not only considerable excitement but some doubt, the lawfulness of the act being actively debated by the leading journals. Several decided that the seizure was informal, while some went further, suggesting that it might be necessary to restore the Commissioners. A number of noon& rate authorities, however, came forward to justify the capture, on the ground that it agreed with the spirit if not with the letter of international law, and was thus, if technically wrong, substantially right. Amidst the general exultation at the seizure of the Commissioners and the enthusiasm in favour of Captain Wiuteit, this style of reasoning was naturally enough accepted as conclusive. It was generally understood that the capture was in the main justifiable. Meanwhile, the higher legal authoriticsof the United States, as well as the Federal(:overnment, were whollysilenton the subject. In the popular mind, therefore, the first notion of a serious difficulty or possible canine with England in the matter had nearly psesed away. This was the state of the public feeling when the first news of bow the seizure bad bests reesived in England arrived, and curiously enough this, in part at least, helped to confirm the current isa• pressiou. The indecision of a leading contempo rary, whose early hesitation as to whether any outrage had been committed, has been amply avenged by reiterated and noisy assertions that it could sever admit of any doubt, strengthened the conviction at which many of the New York journals had previously arrived. The .b.emab t fr..sinerc., for example, which had originally doubted the lawfulness of the capture, says, after receiving the first decision of our contemporay on the sub ject, " The people talk, but the London Tema, " the great leader of the anti-American interest, " gives up all idea of founding a quarrel upon it, " and concedes the American right." That being the impression which the first news of public feeling in England on the subject produced, the shock of surprise caused by the later news is per fectly intelligible. The tidings flashed by the City of Washington's telegrams would of coarse be as astounding as they were unexpected. Hut sifter the first surprise THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 30, 1861. • possess, we may expect to find not only, accord ing to the telegram, " a general disposition to do " what is right," but a willingness to recognize the substantial justice of our claims. But of course the great point, after all, is not so much the state of public feeling at New York, as the discussions and decision of the Washington Cabinet. And there is nothing in these telegrams to exclude the growing conviction that the reply of the American Government will be a pacific one. We have u yet only the vaguest rumours from Washington, but these rumours state the Cabinet were discussing the demands of the English Government with moderation. This weightydiscua sion would not be concluded in haste. The caution as well as the anxious conscientiousness of the Pas , siiieNr afford a sufficient guarantee of due delibe ration in the matter. Mr. LINCOLN, though • man of no great power, has displayed all along a strong desire to act rightly, in harmony with the stri:t claims of justice and the requirements of public law. And his Message contains a decisive expression of this resolve in a passage expressly re [erring to belligerent rights and duties. The Pas ?UDEN; we may be sure, therefore, will insist on a full consideration of the whole matter, and it must be remembered that the French despatch would arrive opportunely to assist the deliberations of the Cabinet. Mr. SEWARD had, it is understood, already prepared the way for pacific action by instructing the American Minister here to inform the English Government that Captain Witxra acted entirely on his own responsibility, without any in structions from the Washington Cabinet. It is almost useless, however, to speculate farther, when all doubt will be at an end so soon. Under all the circumstances we cannot but hope and be lieve that the American Government will decide to do us justice, and that its reply will accordingly be a pacific one. LATEST INTELLIGENCL FRANCK A decree is expected to appear in the Moniteur within a day or two, fixing the opening of the session of the Senate and of the Legislative Corps from the 17th to the 90th of January. It is in the discussion on the address in the Senate, that Prince Napoleon will deliver the speech which has been spoken of for some tune.

He further declares that Russia and the other Great Powers are mutually bound to act in conformity with these principles, and that no Power can sepa rately interfere in Turkey. DALMATIA. RAGUSA.

NEW YORK, D. 16. The excitement caused on the New York Ex change by the City of Washington's news is intense beyond description. Saltpetre has advanced to lbc. per pound, and at the public sales tea and coffee have been with drawn. Brimstone is kept out of the market. Sterling exchange has advanced to 110, and Stocks have declined from 4 to 8 per cent. NEW YORK, Dm 17.

The same despatch also states that the difficulty with England is discussed with firmness aud cool ness, and that whatever may be the demands of England, the Federal Government has resolved that Mason and Slidell shall never be given up.

Only one journal, the Pays, takes any notice of the remarkable article in the Patrie to which I drew your attention yesterday. This general silence is to be attributed partly to professional jealousy, and partly to the terror of M. de Per signy, whose severe and indiscriminate blows to the press make it necessary for independent journals to take time to consider before venturing any obser vations whatever upon newly started topics. The Pays, by the pen of M. Grandguillot (the ckgoninti of the Cuestitatimiel) who is, I really believe, going upon his own hook, save so far as he may be occasionally inspired by his patron Count de Morny, now deprecates the "Constitutional Em pire" which the Patrie seems to herald. It admits that the article "commands attention," and com pliments the style of it in terms plainly indicating that the real author is M. de la Guerronniere, and the signature "De Lauzieres," is that of a man of straw. It describes the article very justly as advocating in reality, though not in plain words, three things' which K Grandguillot holds to be most pestiferous —viz., "Liberty of the press, reality of universal suffrage, and ministerial responsibility." To I show how bad all these things are M. Graudguillot has recourse to a method of argument which will carry conviction in a very limited circle indeed. He cites, no doubt quite accurately, familiar conversations between M. de Ls Guerron niere and himself when he was in the habit of taking iustructions from him, wherein the ex director of the press expressed himself very strongly against all those things which by the pen of M. de Lauzihres he now extols. But the public in France care even less, if possible, than the public of Europe about M. de la Guerroneiere's consistency. The only question of any interest is ' whether the ,Emperor now authorises him to talk as he does, and that question K Grandguillot does not touch. I am much inclined to think that Guerronnihre is ou the right scent, and that Grandguillot represents the qualms and fears of the conservative Napoleoniate, who with Truplong would nail their colours to the " fundamental principles" of the constitution of 1862. Grand guillot is struck, as I was yesterday, by the great resemblance between the doctrines of the Patrie and those for the utterance of which the Debuts received its warning. He protests against the empire doing " an act of political contrition which would rejoice its enemies and profoundly grieve its defenders." The Patric publishes the following r,as "latest news" from Loudon : We are assured that, at a Cabinet Council, held on Dec. 27, it was decided that, inumuch as the war with North America may assume very lug, proportions, a reserve corps shall be immediately organised and sent to Bermuda to await events. In consequence of this determination the Minister for War immediately selected the regiments to form this reserve, and orders have been sent to commanding &Bows to march these troops to Chatham, where arrange ments will be made for their embarkation. It is thought in London that if war breaks out this corps will be sent from Bermuda to Portland, in the stated Maine. The cost of the repairs now going ou at the Tuileries is estimated at 1,600,0001. sterling. They will not be finished for three years and it is quite settled that the court will live at the Elyse° next winter as the Tuileries will not be then habitable. Before it is done with, according to the Emperor's present idea, the interior will be like the Irish man's mended coat, in which not a shred of the ori giTal material was left. THE PRUSSIAN MINISTRY. The Cur apowieice Stem, of Berlin, says :- 1 " The divergences iu the Cabinet had really come to a crisis which seemed likely to end in the partial retirement of the ministry, or the triumph of the liberal party. That danger has now disappeared ; M. de Patow, Count Schwerin, M. d'Auerswald, and M. Bernuth, are to remain at their parts. The liberal laws have obtained the Royal sanction." It is %tate') in Mullier's lithographic sheets that the instructions forwarded by M. Thouveuel to M. Mercier, the French Minister at Washington, impress on him the necessity of strictly following the text of the despatches previously addressed to him, in which the expreesion " belligerents," applied to the Southern States, is designedly repeated. The Emperor Napoleon has for the last two days aroused himself with skating on the Bois de Boulogne, opposite to Bagatelle sod sear the racecourse of Long champs. The Emperor was accoespauied by a very skilful skater, wbo attracted his Majesty's attomotioa last season. The Empress likewise has appeared cm the ice in a sledge. Tweuty-five American trotters have just arrived at Havre. which were purchased for the imperial stables Priam Napoleon has selected Eve of them for his stud, tool fee for the King of Italy. Five splendid hooters pur. chased in England have likewise arrived at the imperial stables in the Bois de Boologoe. The Paridnrshak, a Hiudoo paper, accuses Eng land of having introduced the halite of drinking to which young Bengal is beaming so addicted. "We do not mean to say that the mere fact of studying the English language or the entertaining of English ideas creates • thirst after wine. We du not know of any English book in which it is stated that it is obligatory on as to drink wine or that the glory of • man consists in his getting drunk ; on the contrary many &shah books speak of the evil effects of drunkenness. The true reason of the prevalence of this vice is to he found in the residence of Englishmen in the country. The multiplhatiun of ginshups in the land is owing only to the English people." NILBYLEBONE REPRISENTATIVE COUNCIL. ADMEN 07 OONDOLUCII TO !Hl QUW. At the weekly meeting of the representative coun cil of St. Marylebone, held at the Court-house, on Saturday; Mr. T. R. Fmmae, parochial churchwarden, in the chair, The Rev. R. J. P. Evan, the rector, brought up sad read the following address of condolence to her Majesty upon the recent death of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, which he had been requested by resolution of the vestry to prepare at its previous meeting : " To her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen. "May it please your Majesty,—We, your Ma'esty's faith ful and loyal subjects, the vestrymen and ' of the parish of St. Marylebooe, beg leave to tender most respect fully to your Majesty the expression of our profound grief and affectionate sympathy on the occasion of the bereave ment with which it has pleased Almighty God to visit your Majesty and the royal children by th e death of your illus trious and beloved consort. " We know that words such as we are able to use can do nothing to console under this great affliction, but it is • re lid to our sorrow to lay before your Majesty such expres sion of our condolence ; as also the assurance of our deep sense of the irreparable loss, which, by the Divine Provt deuce. the nation has been called upon to suffer. " By personal character, great abilities, and the active and conscientious use of all the influence attending them, and his high poeition in the realm, for the interest of the coun try ; an above all, by au affectionate devotion, as a hus band and a father, to the happiness d your Majesty and the welfare of your royal children, his royal highness has en deared himself to all clans* of your Majesty's subjects, and won the admiration of all, in other countries, who know anything of our national institutions and our domestic his tory. " While we bow with humility and reverent submission to the will of God in the death so universally and so un feignedly lamented, it and will be, our fervent prayer that it may please Him, of his ' fatherly goodness,' to sus tain and comfort your Majesty in this 'time of tribulation,' to spare your Majesty lung to reign, in health and honour, over the loyal people committed to your charge ; and to cheer you in the desolateness and distress of widowhood, with the prospects of the rest and recognitions of that world where His faithful meant, departed this life are ever with each other sod Himself." The Rev. Ricroa moved that the address be presented to her Majesty. (Hear, heal.) Sir JAMES HAMILTON (crown churchwanlen) said he felt peat pleaaure in seconding this address, which so beautifully and forcibly explained their sentiments of affection and re gard for her Majesty. He had read a great many ; indeed, he believed all the addressee which bad been prepared and published on this melancholy subject, and he bad little hesitation in saying that to his conviction this was the beet. (Hear, hear.) They were deeply indebted to the rev. rector for the talent he had displayed in drawing the docu ment. (Hear, hear.) The address was carried unanimously, and ordered to be written on vellum for presentation. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) mow)" Dsomima as, • LE.

The inquiry was resumed this morning. Mr. W. C. Reynolds, examined by Mr. Field—l am a soLicitor, of Gnat Yarmouth, and have known Mr. Wind. ham for the last eighteen months. On the 26th of August last I travelled from London to Yarmouth by the night mail. I saw Mr. Windham at the Cambridge station, dimmed in the returns of a railway guard, with a whistle, but, aid pouch. On the stoppage of the train at Cambridge be opened the door of the carriage in which I was, and when 1 recognised him I said, " Windham, how can you make such • fool of y ourse lf r He said, " I must say these fellows do their work properly. I am going to be married next week." When the train started from Cambridge, be was standing on the platform and blew the whistle. At Ely junction, where the train stopped twenty minutes for refreehments, I got out and walked along the platform and saw Mr. Windham in the prods van, sorting parcels for Peterborough and Ely, and delivering them to the porters on the platform. When the time wee up he said the train was about to start and called to the passengers to take their rata. The train arrived at r orwich about half-past 2, and es Windham my carriage there I said " Are you going to re l .: L outh r and he said, "No, I must turn in for an hour or two, as I have got to work the parly up." I asked him how long, and he aid " Between 5 and 6." I saw Mr. Windham for the firet time to speak to at Yarmouth in April or May, 1860. He called at my office to make an affidavit relative to Chancery proceedings. and he produced a letter from Lady Sophia to himself. 1 bad some conversation with him a day or two afterwards, when Mr. Horrocks came for him, and I advised Mr. Windham to return to London and ace his guardians. He promised to do so on the following morning. Imam him several time* after that. He did not go back to London. He told me that he had been to Lowestoft, and I asked him why he had stayed so long, when he said he had been driving the train all day from Lowestoft to Bowan. I reasoned with him and persuaded him to return to London on the following morning, sad saw him off by the train. On his return from Yarmouth he was in a very excited state when I saw him, and crying very much— blubbering like a great child. That was at the Victoria Hotel at Yarmouth at about eleven o'clock at night. His conversation generally showed that he was unable to re tain the threat of thesubject for any onesiderable time ; I think he is excessively weak in his mind, and incapable of managing himself or his affairs. Cromaxamined by Mr. Kardake—O n the occasion I have spoken of Mr. Wiodham did swear an affidavit before my partner, but with my knowledge. That is the only business transaction I have had with Mr. Windham es far as I can recollect. I saw Mr. Windham at the Vice-Chanoellor's Court, in London. Mr. Horrocks was present, but I have ao recollection that Mr. Windham charged Mr. Komodo; before VionChancellor Wood with having knocked him down and ill-treated him, and that Mr. Horrocks was called upon to give an answer, but gave none. I heard Mr. Horrocks sey that he had nothing tory, but that was to another question as to whether he wished to continue ae tutor to Mr. Windham. I saw Mr. Windham dressed as an officer of militia in Yarmouth, during the time the militia were out. When I saw Mr. Windham crying at the Victoria Hotel, Mr. Horrocks was down, and 1 had not heard what had pared between Mr. Wind ham and Mr. Horrocks. The only conversation I have had with Mr. Windham sines May, 1860, was when I saw him acting as guar to the train. Before the affidavit was sworn I bad beard it commonly reported that Mr. Wiodham was not right in his mind, but after conver sation with my partner we ooesidered that the responsi bility rested with the solicitors in the suit and not with us. It is not simply from his acting as guard upon a railway that I conclude Mr. Windham to be incapable of managing his of sirs,but from rein his behaviour in society, and ate ball, and hearing him on one occasion at • musical party making absurd noise. on the staircase. I made no suggestion, in consequence of the oninion I had formed with regard to the mental condition of Mr. Wind ham that the affidavit sworn in my o ffi ce should not be used. By Mr. Celendge—l was before the Vice-Chancellor during the whole conversation. I SAW no letters produced. I will swear lady Sohia produced none. Re-ermined by Mr. M. Chambers—The ball at which I saw Mr. Windham w a public ball at Yarmouth. He rushed about the room from one side to the other, and burst out laughing with a laugh which he appeared unable to control. He was attracting the attention of everyone. By the Jury—When we got to Ely, on the occasion I have spoken of, I mentioned to the porters what a disgraoe it was that Mr. Windham should be allowed to act as • guard on the line. Charles Broths, 204, A division, Metropolitan police, examined—l MO ou duty in the Haymarket. I know Mr. Windham, and I have seen him deport himself like a man of weak and unsound mind. He was In the habit of shouting in the Haymarket, and wanting me to lock up women. He would say, " Here, policemen, lock up these two women." I said, " What for I" end he would reply, "There are too many women about here ; I won't have so many." (Laughter.) This was between cos and two o'clock in the morning, and he has acted in the same way on one or two meadow. _ _ Crow-a:maimed by Sir H. Clabeta—l have known Mr. Windham fora rear and nine months. I first saw him at Epsom nose. there is perhaps more shouting in the Hay market than elsewhere. _ Re e:amimed by Mr . M Chambers—There was something different in Mr. Windham's shouting than anyone else. After shouting he would burst out laughing, and he did not laugh like a sensible man. By the Jury—Mr. Windham put his hand on the women, and shoved them along for me to tako them in charge. The women used to say, " Go away you fool, you are not right in your head." Yr. Mansell, examined by Mr. M. Chambers—l have acted as receiver for the Windham estates since January, 1859. The gross routs of the Felbrigg estates amount to 3,1871. That is subject to a charge of 1,5001. a year to Lady Sophia, and there are the usual reductions amounting to 4018 a year, so that the net rental for Mr. Windham to receive when he came of age would be between 1,1001. and 1,2001. a year, exclusive of the shooting. He might let the house and the shooting for 300/. a year more. There are other rotates in settlement devised by the late Mr. Windham till October, 1869, to pay off incunibranoes to the amount of 160,000/. An estate near Sudbury is to be sold for 65,0001. for that pur ;T. The gross devised estate will be, after 1869, V., and the net rental 7,25 01 . At that time a b ou t 35,0001. of the mortgage will have been paid off, so that there would still remain • familiars of 60,000/. The inte rest on that will be about 3,0001.. leaving the net available income from the estate about 4,111161. per annum. I went ori the Athol August with Mr. Windham and Mr. Jackson, a solici. tor in London, appointed by Vice - Chancellor Wood to Fel brigg Hall, and dined with General Windham there. On the following day Mr. Jackson proposed that iu cooaequeuce of the small amount of iooome from Felbrigg estate, Mr. Windham should not live there; but, provided all parties interested would that an application should be made under the Se= Estate Act, loolosure Act, or a short act of parliament, if necessary, that Felbrigg Hall, the books, furni ture, plate, and ornamental timber should be valued and put into the same trust as the devised estate, and the land part of the devised estates Mould be taken out of the trust and become Mr. Wind ham's as tenant in tail, the lame of Felbrigg Hall and park should be granted to Mr. Windham at a nominal rent till the 11th of October, 1869. General Windham said anything that Mr. Jackson proposed for the benefit of his nephew and the estate he would agree to—that he was ready to make any sacrifice himself. At that time Mr. Windham did not seem to be able to comprehend the suggestion at all, and therefore Mr. Jack. son said, "Leave him to me," or something to that effect, and the whole party then left the library. This was the day cm which Mr. Windham came of age. Afterwards I saw Mr. Jackson, and said in Mr. Wicdharn's presence, put tin my hand upon his shoulder, " Well, I cannot make anything of We both told him that his income would be much increased by the proposal, and the only answer he made was, "Then I cannot cut down my trees." Mr. Jackson said, " Yes, you can, but not the ornamental trees." Mr. Windham has only a life interest in the devised estates. If he were to have children they would come in after him, but in the event of hie death without issue then General Windham would coma into possession. As to the Felbrigg Hall estate, if Mr. Windham should out bar the entail and should die before 1869, the rents would accumulate up to that time, and it would become part of the devised 'SWIM By the proposal made by Mr. Jackson, the entail might be burred, and the interest of :eoer.,l Windham would suffer, should be succeed to the estate, to the extent of the present benefit that Mr. Wiudharu would receive. Hy Ir. Kerslake—When Mr. Windham came o f age be could bar the entail of the Felbrigg estate, and that be would be unable to do under the arrangement pro posed by Mr. Jacksoe. He wad to become in fact tenant for life, and would become impeachable for waste. He could cut down as ranch Umber as ought to be cut down. This proposal was made on the morning of the 9th, and Mr. Windham came of age at 12 o'clock on the night of the Sth. Mr. WilMlll^l7ll said, " I am going to take the advice of Vice Chancellor Wood and my uncle. I have appointed Mr. Jackson as my iplicitor, and h e is going to take the inanagemlnt of everything." It was at my office that I heard this. I believe that Mr. Jacksou was recommended by General Windham end Mr. Hooke. believe, but I don't know it for a certainty. I heard from General Windham that he had taken hie nephew down to Mr. Jackson, and introduced him to Mr. Jackson himself. I went over to Felbrigg la Mr. Witolham's carriage. He drove me over. Geo. Windham dined there with us at Fel brigg that day, and Mr. Rotheehild, Capt. Windham, and Mr. Bragg wore also of the party. After the dinner Mr. Jack son and I retired and talked baldness. There was no lam nese talkedat the dinner table. General Windham remained natil between 9 and 10 o'clock. The value of Felbrigg bones. ark and ornamental timber,is worth aboutBo,Utatr. or 90,0001. The affect of the arrangement, Harried out., would have been to prevent Mr. Windham cutting timber on the estate, except for repairs. I believe now that the proposition was made on the Stb. ad Mr. Wiodharn came of age on the 9th. The amount I had in hand of Mr. Windham's when he came 01 age was about 800/. He has not had a penny of this.

The Toronto British Herald observes that his lordship "has been reek ing a round of visits to the Roman catholic institutions of Lower Canada, without having similarly visited, protestant institutions." LETTER FROII MR. SEWARD.—WE are authorised to state a letter was yesterday received in thin city, by a friend of Secretary Seward, from that gentleman, in which the views expressed are of a highly pacific tendency. The letter of course was written before the &mantle of the British government were received at Washington. After discussing the aspects of the civil war, Mr. Seward comments upon the conduct of England, in recognising the seceding states as a belligerent power, in • very candid, friendly spirit. Ile then alludes at some length to the Trent affair, and expresses a firm belief that the good sense and moderation of both governoueute will preveut any rupture of those friendly relations which Mr. Seward regards as of vital imperils» " to the political and com mercial well-being of the United States." He deprecates the " undue importance" attached in this country to the hasty expression of opinion at mass meetings, and to the ravings of the New York press; and demands that the senti ments of the goverumet.t towards England shall be judged of only by its formal communications, which be declares will be perfectly satisfactory to this country. It mud be borne in mind, however, that this letter is only ft nonofficial presaiou of Mr. khoirard's private opinion.—Esisaturyk Dully Brriric of Friday. THE DEPUTATIONS To EARL REASELL.—His lordship remived the deputation of the niinisters of three denominations and others on Friday, with marked cour tesy. He said, in his reply to the memorials presented, how entirely he sympathised with the sentiments in favour of peace, and the great calamity of a war between Britain sad the Federal government of the United States. But until the proposition they bad sent out had rucived a reply, the deputation could not expect any distinct state ment from him. He, however, said the demand the govern. meut Lad made was obviously must just, and had nut beau presented in an offensive manlier. The whole bearing of the earl was respectful, and he was much more free in his reply, considering the delicacy of the date of affairs, than coe d have been expected.—Star.

Her Lusb•ad had been dead ten years. When she 6:praised her desire to perform suttee none of the people dissuaded her from it. The pile was prepared in front of her house during the day, and in the afternoon about 5 o'clock, when she had bathed and dressed, she was brought out of her house. "At this time some 500 people ' were collected ; here some Thiamine of Base and • neighbouring village sailed Msnjgaoo tried to prevent it, but were overpowered by numbers. They "famed them that they would surely come to grief, but they were all evidently heat on having the suttee per formed at any price."

Then distributing the actral" to the people around and blaring and praying for their welter., she gave the word, and a Koormee woman set fire to the pile. No force was used.
