MADRAS. mAncn 6.

In our extra Paper of Tuesday last, our rendel
were apprised of the melancholy i II ...;:plice of
the death of Mrs. Elliot, which took place the
preceding evening, after a painful and ledinr,
illness. Conformable to public intimation isvimi
early in the morning, a very numerous assernbii:e
of the Gentlemen of the Settlement took place at tilt
Government Gardens, at five o'clock in the evening.
Among those who embraced this solemn scraiiim
of evincing their respect for the memory of the
deceased, we observed the whole of the principal
Ctvil and Military Gentlemen of the Settlemew.
The procession, preceded by • party of the 11,'y
Guard, moved towards the Fort roots after tive ;
minute guns, to the number of 49, corresponding
to the age of the deceased, being fired from the -it.
luting battery during its progress, and the Fort
flag, as well as the colours of all the shipping in
the roads, being hoisted half-mast high. In the
Fort-square, the corpse was removed from the
hearse; Mrs. Middleton, Mre. Fullerton, and seve-
ral other Ladies, joined the procession, and sup-
ported the pall to the entrance of St. Mary's; fir
John Newbolt, and Sir T. Hislip, with his princi-
pal Staff, following as chief-mournerr. Oil e.e
steps of the entrance, the body was received by ill<
Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Calcutta, proper!!
attended, and conducted into the church. Tile
coffin having been deposited in the west end of the
building, where the interment soon after took place,
the funeral service (the most affecting ceremonial nf
our church) was performed in a solemn and iin-
preasive manlier by his Lordship, assisted by
Mostly, the Archdeacon, and the other Clergyintit
at the Presidency.

During the whole of this awful solemnity, the
spectators evinced a degree of feeling that suffi-
ciently testified their respect and esteem for the &-
ceased, a sentiment that does equal honour to t;
living and the deed.
We observe that at Bombay, as well as at Benga'.
the anomalous rank of Captain-Lieutenant has lir,-
abolished by the Marquis of Hastings.
The Kostrovei, Captain Waddington, had arrival
from Bussorah, Bushire, and Muscat. At Burhire.
she left his Majesty's ship Eden; Hon. Comport'',
cruisers Mercury and Antelope, and country obi:,
Euphrates ; the former, it seems, had been agai,i
successful in destroying some pirates in the Gulf,
but the particulars are not mentioned. The lion.
Company's cruisers Vestal and Bemires were at
Muscat.

make his escape lately, front the position he 1..1

appears to have been frustrated by the vigll4,:ce t
our troops. Soule of his skiimishers having

measures taken, Seetuo's knowledge of the conntor
