In it they took refuge, and the Arabs Saltily took them into nee of their bouts. sad landed them at • Limeys+, a small town on the Arab aisle, about thirty miles from Noselkeim : it has a good harbour, and appears to be their place of rendezvous. There they were detained thirty-three days. sabjett to every hardship ; and, at the end of that time. to complete their misesy, were about to be sold as slaves, . when a Wahibee Chief, who beard that they ere English, and who had known the British Re sident at Bussora, interfered, and procaredahem a passage to Khen. They acre landed at-that island. after having been stripped of every thing, except the shirts and trowsers, and the packet, the great source of their labours mod sufferings. Two days were mow devoted to drying the letters, which had I been about aye weeks is the sea ; and their pur pose was not yet effeaeJ, when ten JochAssum boats appeared in sight. The unhappy men, instantly carrying off the packet. sought shelter among the rocks, where they remained hid for two days and sights. exposed to every hardship, and nearly pe rishing with hanger and thirst. Meanwhile, the pirates harried and laid ivare the villages on the island, which forced the wretched inhabi tants to pass over to the main land ; so that on the departure of the pirates, our sufferers were left the undisturbed and solitary rnsess. , rs of the island. After waiting foot days longer for an op purttmity of crossing over to the Conti. n, they ulitained a passage to the nt ighttoorhood of Ara rack; on their Arrival at which place they learned, that the plaits boataliad anchored these, and ware committing the same havoc as at tshen. Thus pur sued by slainnerane. they were ti reed to walk to Cherrin, a distance of nearly forty miles. This town is under the government of Sheik Aga Malsorne who. at anbg. tstellred them in a friendly manner; but fin.fieg them washout n, city, and stripped every thirty valuanle, he drove them from the house which be hid pi ovided tor them, and treated them with the most unreeling cruelty and contempt.

The following extra& from the Introduaion, will explain the plan of this Work* •l'he three principal branches of the public administration, committed to the agency of the East India Company's Servants. at this Presidency, are the Judicial, Revenue, and Commercial. This Analysis is, therefore, divided into Parts, havinz reference to each of those departments; and, as the prescribed period of study in the College of Fort William is three yeast, and two Public Examine ti•me ate diretited to ►e holden annually, the en•ire Work wia consist of six PAM, in the following order : Parts 1. and 11. to have reference to the Judicial Department, Civil and Criminal ; and to ioclnde (besides tl e general Legislative Provisions, upon which Use present Code of Revd •:inns is founded) a concise Hement4ry Statement of the Principal Rules which hare been miffed for the administra tion of Civil and Criminal !fume, and for the P.'lice, or tor olijeas connected therewith ; the ge• neral principles upon which such rules appear to have been framed; and any material alterations of, or additions to, the original rules, which have taken place und-r regulations vibiequently traded. Parts 111. and IV. To hare reference to the Ile venne Department; and to contain a similaiscoe ment artl explainiti..ll of the Rey:W.ll4ms passed for the acttlemett aasl cobs-Ron of the sere: a 1 branches . . of ;he Public RevenUe ; for defining the powers and futies of the Officers employed its the Revenue De ,artment ; for securing the rights and tervires of the eropfletors and Tenants of Land ; for enabling Land-holders and Fernier' to realize ,their Rents with pondnality ; and generally for ali °N - d; c an ileac! with the adminivtration of the Public Re venue ; or cite Land Tenures and Reins of the Country.

The first Part of the above Work is nearly printed. kE ADY fOlt TNt Pirsq; I. A General l listory of the Hindoos, from the earliest ages to the present tune; compiled entirely from Oriental Autlinrities, and particularly from the Shanscrit Records ; an Original Work in the 13. nga lee language, written by Mritoonjoy Vidya Lunkar, head Pundit in the Shanscrit and Bengalee lan guages, in the College of Fort William. 2. The History of Raja Prita Padityn, translated into the Mahratta language, by Vidvs Nath, head Mahratta Pundit, in the College of Fort William. PIIIIIAIIPIO TOR TNt 'nu; A View of the Manners and Customs of the Hindoos, as they eaist at the present time; in which many popular pra.lices are contrasted with the an cient observances prescribed by the Vedas ; an ori ginal work in the Bengalee Language, composed by Mritooniny Viciya Lunkar, head Pundit in the Shanscrit and llengalee Languages in the College of Fort William. The Asiatic Society has united with the College of Fort William in granting an annual stipend (by equal contribution), of fruir hundred and fitly pounds sterling to the Protestant Missionaries in Bengal, towards defraying the expence.of ing the original text of the most ancient Shansc;it writings, with an English translation. An Hindoostanee Diflionary, long expelled by Oriental students, is at length ready to be put to the press. It will be edited by Doetor William Hunter, and Ensign William Macdougall, Assistant Hindoostanee Professor in the College of Fort Wiliam. This work will compose two volmes, quarto, and will be published ander the patronage ot the College. A Manuscript in the Mahratta Language has been communicated tut the College by Captain Wil liam Hamilton, of the Bengal Establishment. Per sian Interpreter to the Subsidiary Force at Nona, with a translation by the same gentleman. It con-. tains an historical account of the events which oc curred during the administration ot the present Poishwa's immediate predecessors; composed in the purest style of the Mahrattae, and compiled from authentic documents, by Hurununt Reis Jug Deo. This work is illustrated with notes by Captain Hamilton. Captain Charles Stewart, Assistant Persian Pro fe.sur, has commenced the formation of a de.Trip tive catalogue of she Oriental books and mann. scrims belonging to Tippoo's library, in the College of Fort William. In the ptogre•s of his rest arches. he ha , di•eovered in that library, a valuable work in the Persian language, referred to by Dow and Orme, as necessary for the illu tration of an im portant peri-al in Eastern History. and which was sought for in India by those historians, without success. It is the history of the Emperor Au ningzebe, from the II:h year cf his reign, to his death, (an interval of forty years,) written by the learned and authentic !doh immud Saki; being a continuation of MohammuJ Kazim's History of the first ten years of that Prince. See Notes to Orme's Hi•tnrical Fragments of the Mogul Empire of the Mahrattas. The ancient inscriptions and valuable manuscripts in the Carnatta, Telinga, and other Isnguages, col le,!led in Mysore. by 1)r. Francis Buchanan. whilst employed in investigating the natatal history of that country, have been comniitted to !kir. Carey, teacher of the Shanscrit, Bengalee. and Mabratta languages, in the College of Fort William, for the purpose of being translated into English under his superinteedance. Amongst these mar.uscrims has been fou nd a History of the first arrival cf the Portu guese in India, by alcontenaorrary Hindon writer : alx) a History of the Rrjahs of Mysore. The Rev. Dr. Claudius Buchanan, Vice-Provost of the College of Fort William, is about to proceed to Cochin. on the crust of Malabar, for the pur pose of examining the ancient lieorew manuscripts preserved in the synagogue of the Jews at that place. 'Flies, manuscripts are represented to be of a very high antiquity, being supposed to contain that portion of the Scriptures ohi.di wtittea before the first dispersion of the Jews. A collation of them with the European copies has been long desired by the learned. Another object of Dr. Bnchanin's mission will be to enquire into the state of the Native Christian Churches in the Provinces of Traraocore and Male hot ; particularly of the thirty-fire Congregations, Denominated by the Iliman Catholics the Sthisma tie Churches. These Christians refuse communion with the Romish Church, and adhere to the simple ritual of an early age. They are r.rnieed in his tory as early as the fonrth century, and are supposed to have emigrated hom Syria and Chaldea. At this day, the Byrn-Chaldaic language is osed its their cbnrehy.. and their Liturgy is e. - .,npused in that language and charaßer. Agreeably to instrnftinas received fr•eni 'he Er- Authntities at hnine, a reaort is to he In id- on the constitution and diertrine of thms churches, with a view to ascertain how far it may he the duty of the English church to recognize Lie aohniani a rtigiAt,,,, a.* that the, haw:, become • . •' subjens of the British Empire. These churche have been governed for felt-en hundred years, by regular w „..";, 1n o f bishops, whose nrclo•atinii (p• the Batt larch of Antioch) is acknowledged by Lou Church of England. Another su'ijeff of literary research offers itself amn.lpt these ancient CFI, istia• s. When the I' , r tug.x•se first art iyed in India, they holism] tb writings and record; found hi the Christian (an•l amongst t::em, s tys a Romish aorhor. som e apostolic m-iniiments) in order th it they might de stroy the eviderces of their antiq-iity, and .force them to an union. rut it has be •ii stated recently, by a respell-Ale anther iiy, th it co •ail ancient ma nasetios in the Chaldaic largnage are yet pre err ed in the country of Tray inwie. The subil•Ct of the Essay propose I to the Students of the College of Eort William, for the 2.1 tc: m of, 1895, is the following " On the ultimate ?min oyerrent of ih•• no•ive s . f boils, in tin curse of iiges, t the British 6overnmint, to g And Ilhe Arta, mots s, manners, and re!••:i , n."
