" This evening, about five, I was hastily called to be a spectator of the shocking ceremony of self-de votion, sometimes practised amongst the Brahmin females, on the death of their husbands. " Soon after I and my conductor Lad quitted the house, we were infarmed the suttee (for that is the name given to the pers,in who so.devotes hersell)had passed, and her track was marked by the goolol and betel leaf, which she had scattered as she went along. She had reached the mootali, which runs close tinder the town, before we arrived, and having pe•formed her last ablution, was sitting at the water's edge. Over her head was held a punker, an attendant fanned her with a waving handkerchi-4, and she was stir rounded• by her relations, a few friends, and some chosen Brahmins, the populace being kept aloof by a guard from Government. In this situation, I learn from good authority, she distributed among the Brah mins (2,000 rupees, and the jewels with which she came decorated, reserving only, as is usual on these occasions, a small ornament in her nose, called motee (perhaps from a pearl or tuo on it), and a bracelet of plain gold on each wrist. From her posture I could see only her hands, which, with the palms joined, rose above her head, in an attitude of invo cation ; quitting, therefore, this post, I removed to an eminence that gave me an excellent opportunity of observing the construction of the funeral pile, and commanded the pathway by sshich I understood she would approach it. 41 The spot chosen for its erection was about forty paces from the river, and directly fronting the sut tee. When 1 came ❑p the frame only was fixed; it consisted of four uprights, each about ten feet high ; they stood rather more than nitre feet asunder length ways, and under six in breadth. Soon after, by ropes fastened near the top of the uprights, was suspended a roof of rafters, and on it, again, heaped as many billets as it would bear. Beneath ato:e a pile of more substantial timbers, to the height of about four feet, which was covered over v. ith dry straw and bunches of a fragrant an•d sacred shrub, called toolse; the sides and one end being then filled up with the same materials, the other extremity was left open as an entrance. The melancholy preparations completed, the Lady got up and walkei forward, unsupported, amidst her friends. She approached the door-way, and then, having paid certain devotions, retired a few yards aside, and was encircled as before. The dead body was brought from the bank where it had hitherto remained, close to the place the suttee lately sat on, and laid upon the pile, and with it several sweetmeats and a paper bag, containing either flour or dust of sandal. The widow arose, and walked day WWI published, 00c ya wn ', tom. with Maps and Mates, price 18$. boards, VOYAGE- to AFRICA; including a Pnrticu hr N a rrative of an l'aitsassy to one of the Interior King tie~b in Year 1990.

The price of wheat at New York furnishes a datum by which the effects of these laws in Canada may be ascertained. The price at New York is regulated by the demand abroad, there being in the United States no restric tions on foreign trade, but full liberty allowed to carry or send it to the best existing market, and also to pur chase returns wherever they are found the cheapest. On the 10th inst. the average price of Northern wheat was ss. 6d. per bushel (this currency), or one dollar ten cents. At the same date wi:eat of about the. same quality was offered in the district of Montreal at 2s. 6d. or half a dollar per minor, which is something larger than the bushel at New York ; and no sales. Supposing, then, the same absence of restriction; from the navigation laws at Quebec as at New York, and that the cost of bringing a minot of wheat from the district of Montreal to Quebec, together with any difference of quality and increased freight to a foreign market, were equal to is. per .minot, which is surely a sufficient allowance, the operation of the Navigation Laws and Corn Laws united, would be equal to a tax on each bushel of wheat produced in Canada, beyond the quantity required for home consumption, of 2s. per minot. The average quantity of wheat exported from Ca pada during the hut fifteen years, does not amount to 500,000 bushels annually; but the average surplus of this grain, beyond what is required for home consump tion, amounted during the last and present years, pro , bably to 500,000 bushels annually, or 1,000,000 fur the last two years. . . This gives an actual loss to Canada, by the united operation of the Navigation and. Corn Laws, in the ar ticle of wheat alone, of fifty thousand pounds, equal to . a tax of two hundred thousand dollars. The operation of this tax is, however, more inju-. rious to the Colony than taxes to the same amount usually are. It is a tax upon production, which it goes to annihilate, destroying the value of real pro perty, and taking away the best security against ab solute scarcity, viz. the practice of raising for exports Lion a considerable surplus of bread stuffs. In stating the operation of these Acts on the Colony, we mentioned only wheat, for the facility of illustra tion ; but their operation equally extends to all sorts l of grain, and the evil is still mos e extensive. If it were to continue, it would in the end entirely ruin al most every person in the Colony. It is impossible, however, that it can continue, for such never could I have been the intention of the British Government. three times slowly round the pile; then seating her self opposite the entrance, on a small square stone, constantly used in such cases, on which two feet were rudely sketched, she received and returned the en dearments of her companions with great semi y. This over, she again stood up, and having stroked her ri,ht hand in the fondest manner over the heads of a favoured few, gently inclining her person to. wards them, she let her arms Cal round their necks • in a faint embrace, and turned from therm Now with her hands, indeed, held up to Heaven ; but with her poor eyes cast, in a gaze of total abstrac tion, deep into the den of anguish that awaited her, she stopped 'awhile—a piteous statue! At length, without altering a feature, or the least agitation of her frame, she ascended by the door-way, unassisted, and lying down, beside her husband's corpse, gave herself, in the meridian of life and beauty, a victim to a barbarous and ct ut•lly conseet ated error of mis guided faith. As soon as she entered she was hid from our view by bundles of straw, with which the aperture was closed up, and all the actors in this tra gic scene seemed to vie with each other will should be most forward in hurtling it to a cunc7usion. At once, some darkened the air with a cloud of geolol, some darting their hatchets at the suspending curds, felled the laden roof upon her, and others eagerly rushed forward to apply the fatal torch. Happily, in this moment of insufferable agony, when the mind must have lost her dominion, and the ear expected to be pierced by the unavailing cries of Nature, the welcome din of the trumpet broke forth from every quarter of the assembly. " When the conflagration took place, and not till then, it was fed for a time with large quantities of ghee, thrown by the nearest a-kin; but, except the toolsee and straw before mentioned, no combustible whatever, that I either saw or could hear of, was used in preparing the pile. It is said to he the cus tom, that, as the suttee ascends the pile, she is fur nished with a lighted taper, to set fire to it het self ; and my companion, who was a Brahmin, asserted, that in this instance it was the case ; but I traced the whole progress of the ceremony with sn ch.se and eager a.i attention, that I think I may safely venture to contradict him. " As curiosity may be expected to know something of the subject of this terrible, though; not uncommon immolation, I have collected die following purled lars ;—The Lady's • name was Toolseboy, her hus band's Ragaboy Tauntee. He was about 30 years old, and nephew to Juirtboy Daddah, a person of distinction its this place. A little girl, about four years of age, the fruit of their uni ,, n, survives them. Too'.seboy was 19, her stature above the middle stand ard, her foi'm elegant, and her features interesting and expressive; her eyes, in particular, large, IN hi, and commanding. At the solemn moment in which alone I saw her, these beatities were eminently con ' spicuous, notwithstanding her Etc,: was ciscoir,u,ed with turmeric, her 11:Air dishevelled and wildly orna mented with flowers, and her looks, a; they forcibly struck me throughout the ce.enlany, like t:iosect whose senses wandered; or, to come nearer the im pression, whose stun already fleeting and in a state of halt separation from toe body." .
