The Bombay rigtel, in its summary of the event.
of the fortnight, says:
"The rains are now nearly over, the monsoon in
feet by the present date is oossidered eleesd. Up to
this date we have had only filly-six inches of rain in
all, a few light showers, making a total of three
inches, being all the past fortnight has supplied.

refuge from danger in our territories; his death
seemed to have been desired by the ruling poweey and
seesssiss were employed accordingly to destroy him.
The result is not at all unlikely to be soothes ad-
vance on An, and a further change of dO.--to
impossib'a it is for barbarism and eivLimWa to
flourish side by side. The question tenshing the
military occupation of British Banish by Madras
troops has long been under the esnelleration of the
npreme government, and the GovirraorAieneral has
sow resolved upon withdrawing the whole of the
Bengal troops and establishments serving in the pro-
vince natio. This will involve the return to Bengal
of all the staff abets and establishments appertain-
ing to that presidency, and their places will no doubt
be filled up by officers from Madras. The transfer is
to be effected in the ensuing season, or as soon as
nffident steam conveyance mu be made available.
In these two items is comprised the whole of the
tidings of the fortnight. India everywhere is tran•

government has, on the recommendation of the Chief

in another pert of our paper. We leave it for oar
Leaden contemporaries to deal as they see meet with
those who ban misled them. Daring the poet 18
months we have at least a dozen of times proclaimed
the fact that we were very obviously spending greatly
beyond oar means, the expenditure not being eon-
dosed by works of general utility, sure some time or
other to prove remunerative, bat in wanton eztrsva-
gao and waste. To meet the financial crisis rapidly
hastening on. the Governor•Otneral is understood to
have resorted to the precautionary step adverted to.
We are already on the eve of a loan of two
or three millions: the further outlay now re-
solved upon will double the sum requiring
to be borrowed, and the loan will in all likelihood be
opened at a juncture when it is least looked for and
most esrtain to occasion inconvenience. As tome

y more wise and simple to resort for this to
the London Exchange, when it might be had at
four per cent., than to draw on India for money re-
quiring to be borrowed here at five or six, both opt-
redoes being in general so clumsily managed as
utterly to disorganise our money market arrange-
ments. While the authorities are thus arranging
for extra works at home, and stopping them here,
