There are now four Noblemen in the field for the appointment to the Covernor•Generahihip of India— the Marquis of ANGLESEY, Lord AMHERST, Lord MsaYoostotiow, and Lord WILLIAM Beartocx. His MAJESTY is anderstdnd to interest himself Warmly for the Marquis of ANGLESEY, but we understand the Noble Marquis has little prospect of success with the Court of Directors. Lord WILLIAM BETITINCII, the relation of Mr. CAN NING, is spoken of RS moat likely to receive the appointment. His Lordship has something more than his frank and manly character, and kind and conciliatory manner', to recommend him to the Court of Director*. His administration of Sicily, which was prdductive of so much benefit to the inhabitants of that country, and the high reputa tion lie enjoyed throughout the Mediterranean (a reputation which the faithlessness of the Govern meat at home never impaired, however emba - ing the dilemma in which he was placed by ii), must naturally liked powerfully in his favour with those to whom the destinies of the millions of India , are intrusted.--( Ereniag Paper.)

It is as serted, that the Emperor Bum rarely went abroad without bring preceded by a train Of 100,000 persons. " The Nabob Asuf, who succeeded hie father on the throne of Oude, affected a curious kind of mag nificence. He was fond of lavishing his treasures on gardens, palaces, horses, elephants, European guns; lustres, and mirrors. He expended annually about 200,0001. itt Englishmauulictures. He had more than one hundred gardens, 40 palaces, 1,400 edephauts, 3.000 fine asddle-hontes, 1,300 double ,lluterelled guns, 1,700 superb lustre', 30,000 shades 41 various forms and colours, seven hundred large Mirrors; girandules, and clocks. Some of die 'vier were very curious, richly set with jewels, hiving figures in continual movement, and playing *wire" every hour ; two of these clocks only cost hills 30,000/. Without taste or judg ment, he was extremely solicitous to have all that was elegant MA rem: he had instruments and ma. thine, of every art and science, but he knew none; and his museum was so ridiculously arranged that a wooden cuckoo-cluck was placed close to a su perb time-piece which cost the price of a diadem ; and a valuable Nerriscape of Claude Lorraine sus pended near a board painted with ducks and drakes. He sometimes gave a dinner to ten or twelve Persons seated at their ease in a carriage drama by elephants. His jewels amounted to about eight millions sterling. " The splendour with which this wealthy Prince ctiebruted the wedding of his adopted son, 'Silver My, in the year 1795, far surpassed in expense any siinilJr solemnity of modern times. " The Nabob had his tents pitched in the plains near the city of Lucknow; among the number were two remarkably large, made of strong cotton cloth, lined with the finest English broad cloth, cut in stripes of different colours, with cords of silk and cotton. Three two tents coat shout 50,0001. ster ling. They were each 110 feet lung, GO broad, and the poles about 60 feet high ; the walls of the tents were ten feet nigh, partly cut into lattice-work, for the women of the Nabob's seraglio, and those of the principal nobility to see through. His Highness was covered with jewels to the amount of at least LOOO,OOO/. sterling. The Slonmeeana was illumi nated by 400 elegant girandults from Europe, as many gloms shades with wax candles, and several hundred flambeaux; the glare stud reflection were dazzling to the sight. Under this extensive canopy above an hundred dancing girls, richly dressed, went through their elegant but rather lascivious dances and motions, and sung some soft airs of the country, chiefly Persic and Hlndou•Persic. " The bridegroom was about 13 years of age, the bride 10; both of a 'lark complexion, and not handsome. The former was so absurdly loaded with jewels that he could scarcely stagger under the precious weight. From the Skauitearso the company invited to this festivity proceeded on elephants to an extensive and beautiful garden about a mile distant. The procelsion was grand beyond couception; it con sisted of oboist 1,400 elephants richly caparisoned, drawu up in a regular lioe, like a regiment of sol diers. A bout 100 elephants in the centre hod houdas, or castles cowered with silver, in the midst of these appeared the Nabob, moon el on an un commonly large elenbantovithin a bouda, covered with gold, richly set with precious stones ; ou Ist; right baud. w the British Resident at the Court of Lucknow„ en his left the young bridegroom ; the English gentlemen and ladies and the native nobility were intermixed on the right and Left. (3o both aides of the road from the terits,(o oe garden was aaised arttaciel scenery of bamboo work, very high, representing be-'ions, arches, minarets, and tones'', covered with lights in glass lamp*, which made a grand display. On each aide o( the procession, in front of the line of elephants, were denciug girls superbly d d (on platfornis supported and canted by bearers), who danced as the company treat along. These plat forms consisted of an hundred ou each side of the procession, all covered with gold and silver cloths, with two girls and two muascians at each platform. The ground from the rents to the garden, forming the Mild on which the procession moved, was inlaid with fire.works ; at every step of the elephants the earth burst, and threw up artificial stars in the heavens, to emulate those created by the hand of Providence, besides innumerable rockets and many hundred wooden shells, that burst in the air and shot forth a thousand fi , ry serpents. These winding through the atmosphere, illuminated the sky, sod, aided by the light of the bamboo scenery, turned a dark night into a bright day. The procession moved on very slowly, to give time for the fireworks inlaid in the ground to go off. The whole of this grand scene was further lighted by above 3,000 flambeaux, car ried by men hired fur the occasion. Thus the com pony moved on in stately pomp to the garden, which, though only • mile off, they were two hours in reach ing. On arriving at the garden•gtue about 9in the evening, they descended from the elephants, and ens': red the garden illuminated by innumerable transparent paper 'snips, or lanterns of various colours, suspended from the branches of the trees. In the centre of the garden was a large ed.fice, to which the Nabob and his guests eceended, and were introduced iolo a grand saloon, adorned with girars doles and pendent lustre* of English manufacture, lighted with wax candles. Here they partook of an elegsut and sumptuous collation of European and Indian dishes, with wines, fruits, sod sweet meats; at the saute time about an hundred dancing girls sung their sprightly airs sod performed their native deuces. a Thus passed the time till dawn, whets the Eng lish visitors returned to their respective homes, de lighted' sad wonder-struck with the enchanting scene, which seemed to realise all the extravagance of oriental fil tion. The affable Nabob rightly observed. with • little Asiatic vanity, that such • spectacle ass never before seen is India, and tie• ver would again. The *hole expense of this Marriage feast, which was repeated for three successive nights The class of convicts transported for forgery, and for uttering forged notes (of lite become so nos memos, and generally for 14 years and fur life), has et all times given the greatest embarrassment to the colonial Government, as well as to their employers. They generally consist of men who have been little accustomed to 'abalone employ ments or to field labour, of Oaten and compo sitors in printing of f ices, and of the lower order of mercantile clerks. If they ere found to possess any clerical skill, they are employed in the com missariat department, and by the magistrates and superintendents; and.when assigned to bride's, are most frequently employed as teachers to the younger branches of poor fittniliee, who are at too great a distance from the public schools to attend them. The effect of thei• employment in towns, as clerks, has been already observed upon ; and it appeared to me to be so destructive of all notion or feeling of punishment, as well as of those distinctions between the free and the consict classes, that were the emential characteristics of the early discipline of the colony ; that notwithstanding the additional ex pense that the subsistence, of these permute might occasion to the crown, I do not hesitate to recom mend, that they should either be subtitled sod em ployed on light work, a, at altevents, that they should be banished from the town of Sytioerinto the country, where, if. their coadilion be a little elevated above that of their fellow% it may be solely imputed to their superior acioiretnents, and where they may have no temptation to indulge their vanity, nor to outrage public feeling by their otteutatious appearance. The employment of men convicted for forgery as schoolmasters for the children of settlers cannot be contemplated without sporehension ; but whether from lishit or necessity, I found these apprehensions had subsided, even in quarters where they might have been supposed most strongly to have pre vailed. Thus Edward Eager, who was transported to New South Wales for life for forgery, was, on the recommendation of Mr. Marsden, received into the family of the Reverend Mr. Cartwright, at Windsor, and became the instructor of his chil dren ; and, latterly. I observed, that the school of Lawrence Halloran, who, fur one short petiod, was in the degraded' character of assigned servant to Mr. S. Lord, and afterwards received a ticket of leave, was preferred by the principal inhabitants of Sydney, amongst whom was Mr. Judge Advocate ylde, to another, but more remote establishment, that was forming under the ditectiou of the Rev. Mr. Reclell. Anothre trod striking instance of insensibility to the consequences of such superintendence, occurred in the inquiry that took place before the magistrates at Perautatte, into the condoct of Mr. It. Fitz gerald ; upon that ~,,, it appeared that his eldest son, a youth of 11$ years of age, was allowed to be instructed by his convict clerk in the auspicious and dangerous art of imitating the hand-writing of individuals. This Net was stated, without any lie sitation or regret, by Mr. Fitzgerald, his father, to the Magistrates, iu the course of their iuquiry into the authenticity of certsie returns that had been copied by his soul, and transmitted to Gover nor Macquarvie. The statement fortunately at tracted the notice of Mr. Justice Field. who did not allow it to pars without a suitable rebuke. Considering the nature and extent of the paper circulation that subsisted in New South Wales, until the year 1816, the payments that have been made by the commissariat department, fur the annual supplies of meat and grain to the public stores, and of the issues of their own Dotes by Mr. Deputy Commissary General Droonan, and the bank of New South Wales, the prosecutions end convietiono for forgery have not been so numerous us might have been expected. In the year 1811, the crime of forgery was punished by the exe cution of two convicts ; and it appear: to have been checked by that means. In the year 1815, it was again very successfully and extensively proc fiord by • convict named Lycett, • clerk em ployed in • subordinate situation in the police department. This man had been transported to the colony for uttering forged notes, and wits olwaye distinguished by his skill in the arts of imi tation. He was convicted and transported to Newcastle, from whence, at the recommendation of Captain Wallis, the commandant, and in consideration of his having painted an altar piece for the church at that us-Weiner'', lie was permitted to return to Syria y, where lie now continues to esereise his art, and to be employed by individuals. The convicts in the employ of Government, and its that of settlers, are at all times allowed to marry; and • sense of the advantages arising from this per mission has indured Govetnor Xlacqtrarrie to give a very general eduction to them, as well as an encou ragement, by conferring tickets of leave on those who entered into the marriage state with the menus and inelivation to eapport themselves. It is the opinion of the Rev. Mr. Marsden, that marriage, even in New South Wales, operates at a corrective of vicious propensities; sod in that paint of view is to be encouraged, by giving us early per mission as possible to the wives of contieta to fol low their husbands to the colony, to prevent the latter from forming new connexions there. / t t 111 t t r k 1 r L i 7 J isow talk of remorini situation.

James, forgetivig that be could not swim, lied regardless of the surge, which was fs great as to prevent any boat from putting off to their assistance, threw off his. coat and vest, and taking a stick from one of the bystanders, rushed into the sea ; he was swept from his feet, and drowned in a few minutes. The other brother. who was a good swimmer, but whose streogth was now quite exhausted, shared the same fate. The situation of astir old and infirm pareuts is truly pitiable, having now only one soo is whom they can look up, and upon whose arm they can lean in descending the hill of life. The brothers were laid in one grave i n Monday, and what renders the oc currence still more afflicting, en the very day when the oldest was to have been married to a line young event t an is i i u n vo t i l t se ed ne i i n gli t ho h is u dc rho c o i ie ll at w d h i o st b re y es. ib — is f K aw e f lso ul Mail.)
