INDIA.

We have received Calcutta Papers to the 15th of April ;
the following are extracts :

" Fort William, April 20, 1836.

" The Governor-General .of India, in Council, having,
by orders dated 29th of February last, authorised the dis-
continuance of the collection of Inland Custom duties
within the territories subject to the presidency of Fort
William, in Bengal, and deeming the relief afforded thereby
to commerce to be incomplete so' long as the levy of
town duties and the consequent examination of goods at
Chokies surrounding the principal cities and towns are-
allowed to remain in force, has resolved that, from the Ist
of May next; the levy of town duties, under the provisions
of Regulation X., 1810, or of any other regulation appli-
cable thereto, shall cease in all the cities and towns, subject
to the direct authority of the Government of Bengal,
wherein the same may at this time be enfbreed.

" The Board of Customs, Salt, and Opium, is charged
with the execution of this order, and the Lieutenant-
Governor of the Western provinces has been requested to
issue the requisite orders fin- the discontinuance of the levy
of town duties in the provinces subject to his authority, 'at
as early a date as circumstances may admit.

" By order of the Governor-General in Council,
" 11. T. PIZINSEP, Secretary to the Government."

UNION WonKnousrs.---Such is the opposition to
the proposed system of immuring the poor within the walls of
a Union Workhouse, which it has been said " is for a prison
but a milder name," and the indiscriminate separation of hus-
band from wife, that we entertain a belief that some ameliora-
tion of the law, in the latter respect in particular, will be
adopted, and in that case the large buildings now erecting, and
those proposed to be immediately commenced, will in part be
rendered useless. Two Union Houses are now in progress in
this county, one for Lexden and Winstree Hundreds, to cost
about 6,0001., and the other for the Colchester Union. In the
latter it is proposed to provide for 300 paupers, at au expense
of 7,900/. The house now building for Colchester Union,
our correspondent states, was unanimously resolved upon by
the Board of Guardians, although there are as many as six
workhouses in the Union, the sale of which, it is calculated,
will nearly pay the quotas of the parishes in which they stand.
The Colchester new house is rapidly progressing; it is 90 feet
in length, fronted with grey stocks, the elevation gothic, and
is likely to form an ornament to the town.—Essex Herald.
THE STEAMERS AND THE WATERMEN.—The
passengers who proceed in the steam-vessels up and down the
pool have been for some time past subject to the most shame-
ful annoyance from the watermen and bargemen on the river,
who are in the habit, as the steamers pass them, of giving ut-
terance to the most foul language and abuse, frequently
making use of obscene expressions and blasphemous oaths in
the hearing of females and children. This infamous behaviour,
coupled as it often is with the throwing of stones, coals, and
other missiles at the captains of the steamers, and their pas-
sengers, has become quite intolerable, and calls loudly for some
energetic measures on the part of the proper authorities to
suppress the evil. In two cases the Thames Police Magis-
trates have ordered a Waterman named Banks and a lighter-
man named Scott to find good bail to keep the peace, for
threatening the captains of two steamers, and hurling stones
and coals at the people on deck ; and a third person, named
Shepherd, a waterman, who actually put himself in the way of
the George Canning steamer, which was stopped in time to
prevent any mischief, has been fined 5/. for throwing two large
iron staples at the master and passengers. These convictions
have failed, however, in checking the nuisance.

SUICIDE OF A GlRL.—Monday afternoon an in-
quisition was taken before Mr. Stirling, at the Elephant and
Castle, King's-road, St. Pancras, on view of the body of
Elizabeth Charlton, aged 16, who is supposed to have drowned
herself. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was
a servant in the family of Mr. Templeton, artist, Charlotte-
street, Fitzroy-square. She entered it about four weeks ago.
At first she attended to her duties, but after being there a week
or two, from being cheerful she became reserved, and neg-
lected her work, when she was told by her mistress that if she
did not act as she did at first, she could not remain with them.
On Friday week, on which day she left, she had some few
words with her mistress. The body was found in the Regent's
Canal, on Friday forenoon. The father of the deceased said
that his daughter was always of a close temper. She had not
formed any love attachment. V2rdict—Temporary Insanity.
Monday afternoon a party of holiday folks, lads
and lasses, after seeing the wonderful sights at Bartholomew
Fair, turned down at Warwick-lane, Newgate-street, when
they were interrupted by a drove of sheep ; at the same time
a man with a tub of bullock's blood on his bead, stood close to
them. A sheep having darted from the flock ran between the
man's and throwing him on his back, the tub of blood
went over legs,-oierall the muslin dresses of the lasses and the Sunday
clothes of the lads, rendering them very Piteous objects. After
qtriking several beholders, who were ignorant of the circum-
stance, with horror, they with much difficulty obtained a hack-
ney coach on Ludgate-hill, and returned home completely in
the dumps."
