Si ,—There are no persons in the world so likely
to benefit by the reading of British bookies the Europeans
n Hindustan. Cadets go there from Great Britain at 17
years of age, of course ill educated. Youths for civil
service are certainly better educated, and both of them
when sent up the country have no resource in English books,
and yet books may be sent from the United Kingdom by
poet at a moderate charge to all our colonies, except India.
I wish to interest your valuable services on behalf of oar
countrymen in Hindustan. to promote their knowledge of
our literature of the United Kingdom. It is true that
newspapers go free, but persons up the wintry cannot
always afford to take them; because the conveyance by
Dank from the respective presidencies, is too expensive.—

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT NW St VINCENT'S
Roots, Ct.trroft.—On Saturday evening, the coroner for
Bristol, J. B. Grindon, Esq., held an impseet in the board-
room of the Bristol Royal Inflrma.y, on the body of Mr.
Allred John Clift, the young gentleman who met by his
death through a fall from the cljffs on the banks of the river
Avon. The first, and thdeed the only material I
witness, was an intelligent boy of between eight and nine
years old, who was • brother of the deceased, and
witnessed his melancholy end. The little fellow, who give
his testimony with much clearness, deposed that on the
evening of the accident they were walking under the Leigh
Woods, on the side either Avon, and were going in adirection
towards rip. When near the Roundpoint, the deceased began
to ascend the rock for the purpose of exploring a partof it, and
witness followed, but did not clamber sohigh as his brother.
All of • sudden hie brother's rsoting slipped, and witness
saw him tumbling down the rock. Re did not fall to the
bottom, as his progress was arrested by • shelving projec-
tion, upon which he remained. Ile tl,d not speak or move,
and witness was greatly terrified, but he succeeded in get.
ting up to his brother, and sliding him gently down the re-
mainder of the rock and laid him on the ground. Ile then
ran to some tea gardens close by and begged for assistance,
and some workmen and gentlemen came and carried him to
a cottage, where brandy was administered to him, but he
remained insensible. A cart was then procured, and •
quantity of grass spread over the bottom of it, and in this
he was hauled to the Rowoham Inn, where a carriage was
obtained, in which they drove hint to the Infirmary, where
it wss ascertained that he had received a fracture of the
skull, from the affects of which he shortly expired. The
jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death.'
