LITERATURB.

F. 11.& Itarmy.

'i he ardour of tht scientific natirelist is to be kept
doe n by co '• accidents of flood and field,' no differ-
rvuv cliehoe, no difficulties or dangers of trees!. Dr.
Hooker having aecempan ied Sir James Ross u • natu-
ralist in his voyage of discovery to the antarctic re-
gions, felt a "cell" upon him to steely the botany of the
tropics in Indic The authorities, politiesl and scientific,
a-L.vieed him to take Sikkim • small territory, situated
in the centre of the grist Himalaya range, es a field of
operation, considering that it might be looked upon
u a type of the whole range. H. accoLd,i4ityi
made all preparations for his journey, and proceeded
from Calcutta towards the Sikkim frontier. Here,
however, he met with an unexpected difficulty..
Sikkim is en independent state, ander British pro-1
tection. We bare guaranteed its independence, in ,
order that it cosy serve as a barrier between Nepal
and Btotan. Hot for this Nepal would long ago
have absorbed both Sikkim and Bbotar. On asking
permission of the Rajah to visit the Sikkim country,
the latter replied with a decided refusal, although the
request was made through the Governor-General
himself. Pending farther negotiations, which it
was expeced would end satisfactorily, appli-
cation wee made to the Nepal Rajah for per-
missien to visit the Tiding= pares, and it
was hoped that arrangements might be made
for a return through Sikkim.
Some time after the return of Dr. Hooker from
this visit, he did obtain with some dial-
ashy pertniesion to visit the Sikkim territory.
The Down, however, was not appeased, and com-
menced a eerie' of obstructions which not only im-
peded the progresa of the exploring expedition, bet
oecasioned considerable annoyance to Dr. Hooker per-
sonally. Rendered bold by impunity the Duran nom.
milted at last so act of violence, the details of which
appear almost incredible when we consider that it
was perpetrated upon two peruse traveller seder
the oasis' sanction oldie British Government. Dr.
Campbell, superintendent of the station of Dorjiling,
had visited Sikkim by the authority of the govern-
ment and the permission of the Rajah, to confer
with the latter touching some misunderstandings
which had arisen between the servants of
the Company and thou of his Highness. Oa his way
to the Rajsh he joined Dr. Hooker, and the two
journeyed together to Tumloong, the Rajah's rest-
dame. Herr, through the intrigues of the Dew's,they were refused an audience, and they left Tuns-
loon, to panne their scientific researches. They
met with peat opposition in their journey, but for a
time they were safe from violence. The Deer's
assist their deb mitigation resolved to take active
meseeree. Dr. Hooker relates the circuesstanee thus.
