mart' of the Bombay G azette

The man who was for some time supposed to
be the Nana Sahib has died in prison. An order
had just been given for his release.

CALCUTTA.

The following items of intelligence are taken fror6
the Calcutta Englishman:—

The new High Court of Calcutta was inaugurated
on the Ist of July. On the previous day the Supreme
Court ceased to exist. In notifying the fact, the
Chief Justice observed that he had only seen that
morning, for the first time, the charter under
which the new High Court was constituted. It

appeared altogether to abolish the present prat'
tice of the Court, and to tend to assimilate its
form of procedure to that now in force in 06
Mofussil Courts. The Advocate-General, having
very justly complained that, while he himself had
only had a cursory glance at the charter, the bar
and attorneys were entirely ignorant of its pro'
visions, said he feared much confusion would
arise at first; it had, therefore, been determivid
that the Court should not sit for the despatch. of
business till time had been allowed for framing
rules for the admission of practitioners and the
constituion of a bar.

A report had reached from Nepaul, and from
a reliable source, that the notorious rebel leader
Feroze Shah had been killed some six weeks bfic
by some Ghoorka robbers, he being then wander•
ing in the Nepaul hills in the guise of a tacit''r
with only two or three companions.

" The intelligence of the death of Lord Canning
was received in Bombay by telegram on the sth of
July. The intelligence casts a gloom over every
community that it reaches in India ; it causes grief
to the heart of every individual capable of knowing
and judging of the worth of the late Viceroy. We
know not what measures may be adopted by the
Government of India in relation to it. There is a
general feeling in this part of the country that the
Viceroy should appoint a season of public mourn-
ing on account of this national loss and bereave•
ment. The magnanimity of Lord Canning, his
calm stability of judgment in the midst of the west
biassing influences, his justice in the midst of tl
mighty maze of events which exposed him to the
severest reproach for its evenhanded administra-
don, his wise acts and measures of policy, which
have done such inestimable good to India, am! have
fairly started her on her career as a nation, Will
never be forgotten, nor cease to be extolled by the
people of India.

It has been decided that the prize taken at Dhar
is to be distributed among the actual captors—the
officers and men composing the Malwa Field Force
under Major-General (now Sir Charles) Stewart'
The prize is worth £lOO,OOO, and the
claimants are very few in number.
