fitalUed alivelNiere the .kmale takes the dead y upon
her knee, as she sits in tite centre of a deep grave, and
her children and relations, who have prepared the grave,
throw in the earth 3n/till,' her : two of these descend
into the grave and trample the earth with their feet
around the body of the widow. She sits an marmot:-
strating spectator of the process : the earth rises higher
and higher around 'her; at length it reaches the head,
when the remaining earth is thrown with haste upon
her, and those children and relations mount the grave,
and trample upon the head of the expiring victim!
0 ye British mothers, ye British widows! to whom
shall these desolate beings hook? In whose ears shall
these ti sands of orphans cry—loosing father and mo-
ther in one day—if not to you? Where shall we go?—
In what corner of this niis:rable world, lull of the in-
habitants of cruelty, shall we find female society like
this?—widows and orphans like these ? Seventy-five
millions in this state of ignorance! Say how long, ye
who never saw a tear but ye wiped away—a wound, '
but ye attempted to heal it—a human sufferer, but ye
poured consolation into his heart—how long shall these
fires burn? these graves be opened? The appeal my •air
countrywomen, is to you, to every female to Britain.—
Government may do much to put an end to these immo-
lations; but, without the communication of knowledge,
these fires can never be wholly quenched, nor can your
sex in India ever rise to that state to which Divine Pro-
t 'acme has destined them.
Don't despair. The victims are numerous: but on
that account shall the life-boat not kart. the shore?—
There can hardly be a misery, connected with I an
existence, winch the pity and the zeal of British females,
under the blessing of Providence, is not aisle to remove;
and if this dreadful case be properly felt in every town of
the united kingdom, these ammolatios must shortly cease
for ever.
Schools must be commenced;_ knowledge must be
communicated: and then the Hindoo female will be
behiud none of her sex in the charms which adorn the
female character ; in no mental elevation to which the
highest rank of British females have attained. Other
triumphs of humanity may have been gained by our
Howards, our Clarksons, our Wilberforees ; but this
emaneipation of the females and widows of Britfsh In-
dia must be the work of the British fair.

A most respectable meeting was held on Thursday
at Lambeth, fur the purpode of congratulating the
Queen, addressing the King, and petitioning the
House of Commons. It appears from the speech of
Mr. Selitiltes that the act of striking her Majesty's
name out the Liturgy will shortly become cogniza-
ble before a jury of Englishmen ; such an inteution
had been hinted at some time ago, and we are glad
to find it true. %%e snail not repeat our forma ar-
guments on this subject, or quote the legal autliJri-
ties advanced by this gentleman in support of his
opinion, that every clergyman who so emits he: Ma-
jesty's mune is liable to a prosecution.
