' . at Depoode is condemned by all as un-
beknown during the monsoon. There is just now
'cried' dell of salmi at the presidency, and during
the pas month 38 of the European inhabitant
(ehlefly;of coheirs, soldiers of the 78th and radon)
have been cut off, the greater number by cholera. The '.
NMI number of deaths in My was 1,378, of which
328. - yew from the disease just named. Dare
lea the last meet eninthe the niortality has
sheritinted to 9,793. The Highlanders te-
rmed to their quarters on. Colebah this
morning; the barratkehaeing been thoroughly cleaned
bOth inside and. out. A number of changes have
taken place in thir parttime of seine of the mercantile
firm@ at Bombhj. Mr. It. W. Crawford has retired
from the house of Remington and Co., into which
Messrs. J. A...2aumbach and W. B. Tristram, have
been admitted; Mr.: 0. Wallace has entered the
home of Wallace and (In., and the old firm of Forbes
and Cu'isto be kept up by a partnership consisting
of Mesas. R. hisekengie, S. Corp, 'and R. Willie.
The old police hulk (formerly the reamer) Zenobis,
has been sold for 1,3001 ; out of her honourable John
bad bat little active service. The &metres, another
of their bargains, is now at Aden, tearly unservicea-
ble. Bomanjee Hodmosjee,Esq.,employed ea stipen-
diary • comminioner in the Crest of Requests,
has been elected a member of the Baud of
Education, in room of the venerable Framjee
Cowasjes, who has retired owing to hie great age—
matewhert I believe above ninety. The funds of
the " Sir Juneetfee Jefeebhoy Parsee Benevolent In-
stittaion " to which noble charity the knight himself
contributed upwards of 500001, new amount to up-
wards of 75,0001: The objects of' the inatitwion are :
the suppeet and • Ideation of the of the Parses
cute, the enfeeble inefelage of 0 girls, and the
burial of the dead. A discussion onthe utter unsuit-
ableness of the present Innatee asylute fler the pur-
poses intended for it—both as re garde badness of
lineation, and deficiency of room and athommodation
fir those reeking testament within its wattle—has been
going on for some time ; but government will not
listen to good counsel, mid are going on expending
some 2,0001. making a trifling addition to a building
which i'. acknowledged to be Tussled Ite one of the
worst spots to be found on the island. Of course, un-
less sanctioned by the court of directory, anew asylum
cannot be erected anywhere else; but why throw
away money on enlarging a structure, the site of
which is admitted to be the worst imaginable for such
an institution ? The present monsoon promises to be
one of the scantiest known fora number of years past.
Up to the present date we have only had a fall of 38
inches ; last year, up to same date, upwards of 83
Inches had fallen, but it was as much above the aver-
age us the present one threatens to be under it. Next
year, the scarcity of water, it is feared, will be very
great. The Rev. Mr. Allen, of Poonah, has had a
severe fall from his horse, but is recovering feat. The
selection of a place called Pauochghunny, 12 miles
trout Mababoleshwar, for a sanitarium for European
soldiers, has been approved of by the Court of Three-
tors, but further observations on its climate during
the monsoons have been directed to be made. At
Mahabulestrwer, upwards of 200 inches of rain fell
daring the wet season, rendering the station uninha-
bitable by Europeans; while at Paunchgeunny, the
average fall does not reach more than 50, and the clim-
ate is said to be salubrious all the ;ens round. Cap-
tain Eingcome, now commanding the H.C. steamer
Berenice, but who does not belong to the service, has
been appointed Registrar of Seamen (merchant),
under the new art, with Mr. St. Amour as his as-
sistant. Sir W. Gomm's appointment to the com-
mand of the Bombay army has been publishei in the
government Gazette. Colonel Poole, of the let Lan-
cer*, has retired from the service, having received,
as is alleged, a bonus of 8,0001. for so doing. His
retirement gives promotion to Major C. H. Dela-
main CB., of the 3rd Cavalry. Major G. Sparrow,
of the 13th Native Infantry, has also retired; and
Captain J. A. A. Bckford, 19th Native Infantry, is
said to be about following his example. Tee new
European General Hospital is to be erected on the
esplanade near the Cooperage; and on the site of
the present one a new Supreme Court House is to
be built : the rent paid for the present court is, I
believe, 1,8001. or 2,0001. a year. Railway shares
are, I believe, beginning to look up—at least none
of the shareholders appear over anxious to pert with
them : nearly the whole of the second call has been
paid up, and it is believed better days are coning
round. Once let the undertaking be commecmd
on, and the prospects of shareholders will brighten:
it is this iajudiewas postponement of a beginning
which damps the expectations of all ecneenied. The
English mail of the Bth of July reached Bombay on
SaturdaY evening, in the neprecedenudlyehort period
Of twenty-five days seventeen hours—the quickest by
eighteen hours of any yet received. Tee Feroze
brought it down from Man in five days seventeen
boars—also the quickest passage on record. The
steam frigate Semiramis is out of dock, and reinter' to
Chita at the end of the month. Some redectietis are
about to take place is the dockyard and builder's
establishment. Captain E. P. Lynch, 29th N. 1., has
abuised leave to Egypt till March next on 'private
*Mire.
The 37th Madras Grenadiers are to march directly
from Seceederabad to bumptee, to assist the Ellisci.

Issas &hide there is but little news. Mr. Invert-
assibetor of Shikarpor, I. reported as being
to resign his appointment, partly from ill
, and partly front disgust at the large amount
of meek expected from him without an adequate
sekidishinse for its epeeformanos. The rumour of
Ifillids; sad the Poniard) being termed into another
Presialseey has again been revived—whether with
,a* good foundation or not is unknown. It is said
the Church. Missionary Society has appointed a
Ossissary to Young Egypt. If they have not done

proirdaing field for hie labours. Ido not mean in the
