OALCTTTA. NABLII 1 Me Odle and 'Trieste).
A meeting of natives has been held, at which an
address and a statue were voted to Lord Oanning.
Great confusion prevailed at the meeting, at which
only three Europeans were present. A separate
address was proposed for the general community.
The difficulties in Bengal are increasing, owing
to the inactivity of the Bengal government. The
saltpetre manufactures iu Tirhoot have this season
decreased 90 per cent., owing to the exorbitant de-
mands of the landholders. The license tax, which
yielded annually six lace of rupees, has been
abolished, by the Viceroy.
The Gash Warm of the Treasury on the let of
February amounted to nearly 114 millions, against
121 millions on the same date last year. The
revenue estimates have increased above three mil-
lions in two years.
The disturbances in Sylhet continue, but the
forces which have arrived there will, it is expected,
shortly re-establish tranquillity.
