Among the passengers who armed at Southway.
ton yesterday morning, in the India mail pocket Celombo,was
a widow lady with her two children. Her husband was
killed by the mutineers in India. She and others were saved
by a friendly rajah, and through his connivimos they
pawed through Onde on their way to Calcutta disguised ea a
Wive wedding party, mid were completely shrouded from
view by veils and other coverings, and travelled in a cart,,
according to the castor= of each parties. One of this lady's
children wee bora shoat the lime c her amps. The rajah
has dace joined the matinees. He protected the lady
and childna, es well as other refugees, for some
time before he au able to provide for their sleep,
in the disguise they snowed. Another of the lady preen-
gam on board the Colombo had a narrow escape : she end
her hustend, while lying from the upper manta", were
fired at lepestadly. The driver of the vehicle is which they
escaped was killed, sad a bell fired at them grazed the hare
Anger; but although whole volleys of musketry were aimed
at them they received no serious injury. At one time the
dearer was se Imminent that they were obliged to rush out
of the vehicle and hide sway. She left her bueleaad m India,
fighting. Calcutta la very crowded with refugees, owing to
the unwillingness of the wives of officers and others to come
to England and leave their husbands in danger M Indk.
Many of them ladies are almost forced out of India by their
hasheesh. The pemengers from Calcutta say that troops
are very much wanted in India. Although a large mumble
of

no rt in ver force.

THII LITZ BISHOP Dann FILSON, OP
-.---

CALCUTT4L

The late Right Rev. Dr. Daniel Wilson, Lord
Bishop of Calcutta, whose death Le been announced by
recent telegram from In:Hamm the friend of Wilberforce and
Simeon, sad a person of note In his day. His father, we
believe, was a respectable silk manufacturer of the City of
Leaden, and It was In Church-street, Spitaldalda, that the
future bishop first saw the light. He was born in 1778, and
oonsequently at the time of his dames had entered on his
80th year. He received his early education at St. Edmund's
Hall, Oxford, which ha entered in 1797, having taken Ida
Bachelor's degree. He was a suomeatul competitor for the
Chancellor's prize for an Bngliali Essay in 1803 ; the subject
of hie year was " Common Belel." He was ordained in the
year 1801 when be became mete of Chobliam and Bisley,
Surrey. From 1802 to 1812 ha Mid the poet of vice-prin-
!lai_or tutor of hie ball, at the same time under-
the ministerial charge of the small pariah
Or*orton, Orfordthire. In 1808 a wider sphere of duty
opened itself to him ,• for in that year ha was Seed
as mutant curate of St. John's Chapel, Belford-row,
Bloomsbury. In 1812 be resigned his oollege Aloes on be..
coming sole minister of that chapel, which, during the twelve
years of his Incumbency, was well known as the head
quarters of the evangelical party in London. In 1824 he
became vioar of St. Mary's, lelington, which pariah was then,
and still remains, in the petronage of his family. In 1832,
mainly through the influence of Lord Olenelg and kis brother,
the late Sir H. Grant, M.P., Mr. Wilson was nominated to
the important episcopal see of Calends, with a diocese ex-
tending over the entire Presidency of Bgal, and exer-
cising a quasi-metropobtan juriadiotion over the other
muss of Bombay and Madras. This post he held for just
a quarter of a century, discharging its duties with much
energy and Ammer as a devoted minister of the gospel. His
lordship was visitor of Bishop's College, Calcutta, and en-
}wed an annual allowance of five thousand a year. Bishop
Wilson was the author of several volumes of " Discourses'
and " Sermons," and of a very popular " Tract on Con-
firmation." In 1803 ha married a daughter of William
Wilson, Beq.,:of Worton-houre, Oxfordshire, and was left a
widower in 1827. His son, the Rev. Daniel Wilson, M.A.,
of Wedham College, Oxford, Mill bolds the valuable living
of Islington, to which he succeeded at the deviate& of his
father to the episcopate.
