On the nth ult. intimation was given by the Local Authorities that the widow of a Brahmin, who died the preceding evening, had voluntarily expressed a desire to peribtm Suttee at the funeral pile of her departed husband; every possible argument was a(! , .:l;lced wiih a view to dissuade her from thus sacrificing her self, but without effect; seeing her determined, she was of c. - .lur•,e ialloWed . to follow the bent or her inclinatioPs, ac companied by her relations and the Brahmins 'of her 4 sect, she proceeded to the spot where the pile was erected on the banks.of the Mahanuddie, .contiguous to `the town of - SuintrhulpOOr ;-thsconstruction of the pile, 'which:ins composed of bamboos, differs'veiy materially from those generally used in other partsvf the country ; the base was 'a tetragon of about seven feet, with walis as nearly as possible five feet in height, these radnalir diminished to the top, and assumed a form some,whstt ..phatripal ;in the centre was placed tile wood other combditible:, on which was laid the dead body, rolded in a sindon of white cloth steps so as to facilitate the ascent, were constructed nn the western side; on the . woman approaching the pH:: (the. wood in which had previously been set on tire), she appeared without the slightest agitation, perfectly c:PI and collected, and evinced wonderful fortitude and resignation, and entirely free from the influence of intoxicating. drugs. She .twice walked, unaided, with a firm step round -the funeral pile, ascended the steps, and threw herself spoil tancously into the flames. . solemn pause ensued for a fear seconds, and every one considei ed her a martyr 'to her rellgiOn, when to the astonishirient and agreeable surprize the greater number of the by-standers (hut the evident discomfiture of the subdolous Brahmins), she eagerly scrambled over the pile; ran and threw het self into the river, whence by. the prompt and exemplary assistance of the European Gentlemen present (Captain L. of the Madras Establishment, and Mr. BabingtOn; the Deputy Postmaster); she was instantly rescued, and conveyed to the Military Hospital, where she now re mains severely scorched, but in a favourably way for recovering. The poor woman is deprived of her caste in consequence of what has happened, and was it not, owing to the humane and generous interference ot.the Political Agent, to whom the circumstance as it took place was immediately communicated, the unfortunate.
