" In the last number of the Courier we performed the pain ftil duty of announcing the death of the lamented Colonel Colin Mackenzie. We have since received a brief but able ac count of the literary career of this most estimable man, and feeling convinced that our Readers; to whom he was well known; will gladly cherish the record of his fame, we have put aside a political article that had been prepared for our present Num ber, in order to introduce the following tribute to his memory : " The last feW years have exercised a most disastrous influ ence upon Oriental Research—A rapid succession of casualties has removed from the cultivation of Asiatic Literature, some of the brightest names in the roll of scholars, and Hunter, Ley den, Gladwin, , Forster, Ellis, , and Roebuck, have been swept away from the field in which they were zealously and success-: fully employed. To this list we have now to add the name of Colonel Mackenzie." "Itis a peculiarity in-the history of Oriental Literature in British India, that its.professors seem but little to sympathise with the fate of their associates. They rarely take the pains to communicate to the public, which naturally looks to them for the information, the worth of those labours which ate intended to facilitate the study of Oriental letters, or convey to the Western a knoivledie of the Eaitern world; and they as rarely advance to offer the tribute of their regret to the memory of those who vanish from amongst them. The individuals parti cularized above passed away with little notice beyond the blank record of their deaths in the common obituary column of the newspapers of Calcutta, and if Leyden forms a solitary excep tion, his memory is more indebted to the companions of his early studies at home, than those of his later labours in the East. The contributori to the Indian Press, and. it redounds but little to their credit, seem to find it a more grateful occupa tion to revile the living than to bewail and do honour to the dead. However imperfectly the task may be performed, it is now proposed to bestow something more than the ordinary notice upon the death of Colonel Mackenzie, and to accompany it, not only with our sincere regrets for his loss, but with some account of the obligations which we owe to his life. Not to have lived in vain is the proud consolation of every man of genius ; aneYal. though time will do justice to the exertion of industry and ta lents, yet it is no small gratification to think that they are duly appreciated by our cotempora.ries. As far, therefore, as we arc able, we shall attempt to discharge this duty to the eminent an tiquarian whom we have now to lament, and we have ho doubt that the deficiencies of our slender tribute will be fully supplied by future fame. Colonel Colin Mackenzie, C. B. of the Madras Engineers, died in the netehbourhood of Calcutta, on the Bth of May 1321, aged 63 years. From an early period of his residence in India he superadded to his professional exertions a keen inquiry into the Antiquities of the East. In the former of these tlepartments 'he did not fail to distinguish himself—and his surveys in the Peninsula contributed very materially to the improved geogra phy of that part•of India. It is, however, more especially to the latter branch dills labours that we shall confine our obser vations, as the former received the fullest acknowledgment dur ing his life in the high office conferred upon hith of Surveyor- General of British India.—We are not aware that his labours as Surveyor have ever been given to the Public, although the Manuscripts sent to the Court of Directors hive been made available to the geographers at home. There is one exception, however, and an interesting account of the construction of the plan of the roads from Nellore to the western passes and On- Kole, measured Ii 1733, by Col. Mackenzie, then Practitioner- Engineer, appears in the first number of Dalrymple's Orient Repertory, published in 179!. • The result of Colonel Mackenzie's Antiquarian' Researches were given to the Public chiefly through the medium of the Asiatic Society, of which he was an old and zealous Member. Of these contributions we shall proceed to particulars. , An account is given in the fifth volume of the Researches of the Pagoda at Perwuttuni; situated in a wild tract of country near the South bank of the Kistnah. The building was visited by Capt. Mackenzie in 1794 ; it consisted of an inclosure sur rounded by a stone wall 660 feet long, 310 feet broad, and about 27 feet high—the surface of which was covered with very curious carvings and figures.--Jr , the centre,of the inclosed space were two temples, sacred to Siva as Mallicarjuna. a deity of great celebiity in the Peninsula, about 3 or 9 centuries ago. , Various inscriptions were found there of which Capt. Mackenzie had copies made—in those days it was not possible to procure tr,s- 4. lations of them, but there is no doubt they were subsequently translated, and are to be found in the very extensive series of inscriptions which the Colonel had discovered. . The sixth volume of the Researches; contains Remarks on some Antiquities on the Vest and South Coasts- of Ceylon, written shortly after that Island fell into our power—this paper is the first produce of superior British intelligence directed to the investigation of the Cingalese religion and history, and 'successfully paved the way for subsequent inquiry. Some interval elapsedbefore Major Mackenzie appeared as a contributor to the Asiatic Researches in the ninth volume—but he now took a higher ground, and was the first to publish an accurate account of a very important division of the Hindoos The Jainas were hardy known by name before the publication of his paper, and their real character was far from sußeeted. They were usually confounded with the Baudhas, as indeed they still are by the ignorance of the Brahmins, and it was supposed that they had shated in the persecution which annihi lated that sect in India, and drove its members to the Eastern Archipelago. It was therefore a subject of no small astonish ment to find that all our opinions were so erroneous—tbat the Jainaa, though holding some tenets in common with the Baud has,* from whom they were: probably derived, were in fact a very distinct class both from them and from thc'orthodox Hin doos, and that so far from having been enpelled from India in the early centuries of the Christian . era, they had been the rul .ing power down to a very late . period,, that they long after existed as a numerous and opulent class, and that they still are a flonrisintig sect, and forth the bulk of the population of many districts of Southern and Western India. These °facts, it is true, were net all established by .Major Mackenzie's inquiries alene—and were more fully ascertained by Mr. Colebrooke and Dr. Buchanan—it was, 'however, from his roe:arches that the subject originated, and they have donclittle.mere than'oarrobo- GENUINE SPIRITS.

On referring to. the Act of the 55th of Geo. 3, Cap. 120, (alluded to in the Morning ,chronicle of this day,) and entitled, " An Act to provide for the taking an account of the Population of Ireland, and for the ascertaining the increase or diminution thereof, passed the 28th of June, 1815," I find by Sect. 1, 44 an account is to be taken by persons appointed."—Sect. 6, " Accounts and returns to be transmitted to the Chief Secretary, and an abstract to be prepared and laid before both Houses of Parliament from time to .time." The margin reads, 46 an abstract prepared and laid befcce Parliament every Session," —but the body of the Act does in no one of its Sec tions any where specifically order or direct when or how often the census shall be taken ; whether once a year—once in five years—once in ten years—in twenty years, or in a lustrum. This is not an unapt specimen of the very iobse and crude method, too often Manifested in the unde fined tinkering at legislation, and - so frequently reprobated, of making laWs Without , providing for their due execution, either by means or time of carrying them into effect.—l am, Sir, S&P.

The history .of ,fit Jainisis Still a matter of speculation, as we can only 14 prespnt s , entM•e to conclUde that about the time of the Nlahopme‘fan _ _ _ nrasion they swayed the sceptre of Central, Western, arld Southern India at Rajgriha, or Rajmahal in Behar; ,Pattan in Guz.rat, and Dorasamudra near Mysore. The animosity be tween the Jainas and the Brahmins probably contributed to fa- cilitz:to the Zvi ussulman conqueq, and no doubt gave rise to marty important changes in the internal transactions of Liindoost.sn. The confirmation of these conjectures and ascertainment of the facts arc yet to be effected.--Col. Mackenzie had collected is numerous translations of Jain works and inscriptioni, materials of great value for the prosecution of such an inquiry. It is to be regretted that he was not spared to make that use of thera which it was cine of his most cherishea purposes to affect. The ninth volume of the Researchcs is enriched with fdriler contributions from the same source, and a paper by Mr. C4')!e brooke on ancient monuments, containing Sanscrit Tbscriptipps, compri*cs the translations zed descriptions of five of these dor,u • tnents furnished by Major Mackenzie. Of these, Oree in Ira- tiSular•are - of great historical value, as they fixed beyond a doubt he dates of Hari Hara and Bucca Rago, and consequently of the foundation of the city and empire of Vijayanagor, or Bijnagur or Beejapore. The temporary transfer of Col. Mackenzie's services to tha [sland of JaVA deprived the Asiatic Society of their able iutor. He had prepared, we are informed, a manuscript nf great interest for the Researches, a history of the Peninsula for some time prior to its subjugation by Mahommedan arms, but his departure prevented him from completing it for publicatior, Shortly after his return, his nomination to the situation of Sur- veyor-General, and removal to this Presidency from Madras, interrupted the prosecution of his favourite studies and deprived the Asiatic Reearches of his further aid.—What he had not leisure to eff;:ct himself, however, he instigated others to pz7. form, and the last volume is chiefly indebted for a large portioa of Its contents to communications which he was iAstrumental bringing forward. The Asiatic Researches is not the only work which was bc_ nefitted by Colonel Mackenzie's published literary labours. The Asiatic Annual Register for (304 contains the following original and very curious communications from hic pen : A sketch of the life of Ryder All Khan. History of the Anagoondy Rajas. History of the Kings of Veejnagur or 13ecjanagar. Account of the Madda Gooroos, or the teachers of tlle hwa Vais An account of the Batta Rajas, the Bhats or Indii•.n Bard 3. The transactions of the Batavian Society, which he especiany contributed to revive, also received sonic assistance from him, to what extent we are not aware, but a long and intertati , g ac- count of the ruins of Brambanan, originally published in that work, was afterwards re-printed in the Asiatic Journal. The literary productions we have thus enumerated may seem to bear a small proportion to a whole life devoted to similar in. quhies.—Jt was the character of Colonel Mackenzie however to ' ' be diffident of sending any thing forth to the world whilst there seemed to be any part of - the subject susceptible of more ecr. - n-; plete elucidatiOn. He was therefore chiefly employedin col lecting materials for future works,—these consisted of the re -1 mains of ancient Art, as statues, sculptures, and coins, and of fac himili es of inscriptions, and copies of manuscripts. Ile' em ployed at an immense expence various individuals to coll.!:.' . objects of Antiquarian research throughout all parts of India, but more especially of the Peninsula.—TheproCeedings of these persons were regularly reported to him in English, and as they , were mostly men of superior shrewdness and activity, and as their employer had the singular art of inspiring, them with ; a . .., portion of that zeal which animated his own mind, their reports , are in general highly interesting, and replete with much valua ble statistical, as well as antiquarian observation.. The in scriptions which they discovered were translated either by these men, or learned Hindoos in .the Colonel's service. Some thou.'. sands have been thus prepared, and convey a vast body of: s. historical information of a more .or less authentic charae- , ter. The translation of the , Manuscripts would have been a more arduous undertaking, and has not therefore been •in general attempted ; but several of peculiar interest have been either wholly or partially rendered into English, arid tabular abstracts of their substance have been arranged. —The collections thus Made through a long series of years, and with the most unremitting perseverance, it may inn be imagined are as extensive as important. Their aPpli- i cation to purposes of public utility, it is to be feared, may be frustrated by the death of their owner, but of their fitness for - Stich a purpose-an opinion may be formed from the use to which they have been applied by Colonel Wilks in his history of Mysore. The early chapters of his valtiable work are composi principally from the contents of the Mackenzie collection, and, as we have had an opportunity of knOwing, often in the words of the Colonel's own unpublished compositions. Colonel Wilk% has fully acknowledged his obligations to this source, and has borne testimony to the high value of the collection and the li beral spirit of its proprietor. The study of Antiquities may appear to those incapable of appreciating its objects a pursuit of little interest or importance. There are few, however, who would consent to its exclusion from the divisions of intellectual labour, and all who have cul tivated the graver departments of literature have had - Occasion to be sensible of its worth. 'To history, antiquarian rescue! As invaluable, and if its assistance is most essential in the elu cidation of the early annals of modern Europe, and even of Greece and Rome, it is infinitely more so in any attempt to bring to light the disguised and unrecorded events of 1-lindoo story. The state of India prior to the Mahornmedan invasion is an utter blank. To fill up any portion of it is a 'task well suited to literary exertion ; and for the credit of the British na tion, one that is peculiary incumbent on the present rulers of Hindoostan. Its successful prosecution is hopelesinif recourse is not hLd to such remains of antiquity' as have escaperi the ravages of time; and to discover these, wherever found; through so wide a tract, to bring them from the thickets and 'caverns where they were deposited—to while them from the credulous and ignorant earn by which they were obstinately Withheld, to render them accessible to the eye of 'literary curiosity, and ultimately to elicit from them some knowledge of the unfathorp ; able obscurity 'which has hitherto enveloped the periods pr their origin, were the cherished and honourable' purposes Of their lamented Collector. The last of those alone has been "but t accomplished.' It has not been granted to Colonel •' Mackenzie to attain fully the object of ins ambition—bnt what -ever may be the final result, whatever may be the fate of these precio'us materials, •he will 'ever retain the honour of having accomplished the previous preparatory steps in a manner that nould have faceted credit. on moans far beyond those vThi.:•ii inightbe thought within dlr.: reach of any individual,and cf has.- ' '.ng devoted his fortur.e, his talents, and his zeal, to the accu rrodation of a rich hoard of information for the future use of more fortunate, if Icy enterprising, application:"' . a "~'~v,g-- :~i ~::~
