EAST INDIAN.

The report of the directors of this company, to be
submitted to the proprietors on the 24th instant, states
that the works between Howrah and the Ranegunge
Collieries continues to progress satisfactorily. To com-
plete and stock this division of the line some addi-
tional capital will be required. The existing contract
with the Honourable East India Company provides for
raising such capital, and when the proper time arrives
the option of subscribing it will be given to the then
proprietors of the old sharek. The surveys between
Paudoah and Rejmahal, alluded to in the last report,
have been carried to such an extent as to enable Mr.
Turnbull, the resident engineer,. to report upon the
general features of the line, w hich are highly favour-
able to the construction of a railway. Mr. Turnbull's
report is now before the authorities foreonsideration, and
any arrangements that may be made founded upon that
report will be announced to the proprietors at the
earliest opportunity.

MELANCHOLY C ATAST HOP H GALWAY, TUES..
DAY EVENlNG.—Yesterday morning a most calamitous cir-
cumstance occurred in one of the islands of Arran, by which
15 unfortunate men have been swept from time into eter-
nity in a single moment. All of them were fishing with
lines on a eliff, when, notwithstanding that the weather was
calm. a sudden wave broke over the cliff on which they were
standing, and washed them out into the deep. Only four of
the bodies have been found up to last night. Many of the
poor fellows have left large families to mourn over their
irreparable loss. A subscription has been already set oa
foot, and it is hoped a large sum will be raised for them, now
that Galway is so crowded with the nobility and gentry of
the United Kingdom.

ing, about half-past two, a poor woman named Blagdon, anl
her two children, were suffocated in bed. The husband ce

hurrying off to the mountains. All statements agree that
grouse are more plentiful than they have been for the last
fivo years ; the covies generally contain from eight to ten
birds, and we have heard of fourteen being seen in a single
brood. Even in the first day's bags cheepers will be a
rarity, as the young birds have mostly all black tails, the
certain sign of full growth. Red deer are very forward this
year, owing to the early abundance of pasture in the forests.
-We have already seen some very fine heads sent for preserva-
tion, with the horns almost clear of velvet. At Ben-More
(Sutherlandshire), on Saturday, the 7th, Mr. Ross, of Cro-
marty, killed two good stags in two stalks, using a single
rifle. The second stag had a very handsome wise head

beam, and weighed upwards of nineteen stones
