INDIA.

(From the Calcutta Monthly Journal.]
Dgc. 9, 1022.—We have seen several letters from Persia,
received within the last few days. One of them, dated Ta-
breez, 28th August, states that the cholera was prevailing
throughout the country, though its ravages had ceased at Ts-
breez, where 60 in a day had been the maximum of deaths.
Observes the writer of the letter—" The Prince of Persia
gained a great victory of the Turks at Topra Nulls, neat En.
van ; it was rather a flight..intleed, than a battle; but the disease
making its appearance very violently in his camp he took
fright, retrograded, and has returned to the vicinity of Ta.
breez. His army is dispersed ; indeed, it is now almost ajoke
to talk of a regular army here. The Turkish army was totally
dispersed, and did not stand a moment.. The old Caimultan,
Prime Minister to the Prince here, died by the Epidemic ; a
great loss to this country, for he was an honest, and, for a
Persian, a wonderfully patriotic man. His son succeeds him.
' " Persia is just now in a fair way of becoming terribly disor-
ganized and falling into confusion. The crisis, I suspect, will
be the King's death,..-an event that cannot be far off. Kho.
rasan, since I left it, I hear is In open revolt, and the disaffec-
tion to the reigning family is increasing every day, as is their
extortion. It will not be a country for any Englishmen to go
through soon, and I would decidedly advise any one who con-
stilts his ease, to keep out of it, and prefer the way by Egypt,
or a good Indianian."
The Russians. (states our other Correspondent) are going to
fix a Council Qeneral at Auzace, in Milan. The Persians don't
like it, but dare not object to any thing the Northern Autocrat
dictates.

Dr.c. 12, 1822.—Accounts brought by the brig Louisa, re.
cently arrived from Acheen, state that an attempt lurd been
made to poison the King and Queen of Acheen, by a Nave-
dab, who have been seized and put into prison. It is the In-
tention of the King, it is said, to assemble the Cbiefs of hit
dominions, and to have a regular trial instituted, by :whase
verdict he will be guided in awarding punishment.

Mr. Macnowatscs, the Secretary, then submitted to aie
clety a general view of the business which had occupied the:
attention of the Directors since the Anniversary Meeting In
January, and recapitulated shortly the premiums ofibred from
the funds placed et their disposal by the Society. From the
Secretary's Report it appeared that the usual classes of pre-
iniums in matters connected with Agriculture and Rural Eco-
nomy, bad been continued; namely, for encouraging improve-
ment in the breed of black cattle, horses, anti sheep, byyre-
roiums to bq awarded under die direction of the resident
Members at district shows,—for raising green crops ttf clover
anti other grasses, and saving clover seed,—for cultivating
waste lands, or improving them by draining, raisinglilantas
tions, promoting the manufacture of kelp, and eenvertlng
certain marine plants found. on our shores to other weld
Nurses :—Under, these several heads, premiums had been ad-
vertoted to a large amount, and in addition to which, consider-
able sums had been offered on new subjects, to which the atten-
tion of the Directors had been lately called, and among these,
for essays containing the best account of the present state of
the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, and the changes affect-
ing their condition,—for experimeots in salving sleep,--for ex-
periments with manures,—for the greatest quantity of cloth
made from ;Merino wool in Scotland': This latter premimn
has been offered, with the twofold object of encouraging the
home woollen manufacture, and of ascertaining whether the
flocks of Merino sheep which had been introduced Into this
country had continued to sustain their characters fur fineness of
fleece :—and as connected with the fineness of fleece the Dis
rectors had not overlooked the merits of a native race of sheep,
which was in some danger of becoming extinct,--those of Shet-
land. With the view of forwarding the !systematic improve-
ment of this interesting breed, the prentsums were proposed
to extend to a course of years. In tine' the Secretary
observed that the Directors, as was their duty, had not
omitted to call the public attention to the advantages which
might arise in the promotion of agriculture, from such
facilities as were afforded front time to time in the acquisition
of articles of home produce • with these views the reduction of
the salt duties had lately induced them, in addition to the pre*
miums offered for experiments with salt in the feeding of stock,
to recommend the curing of provisions, as likely to be intro-
duced with advantage into some districts of this country. In
the first instance, they bad offered a premium for the greatest
number of tierces of beef cured in the counties of Aberdeen
and Kincardine, and it' this was found to be attended with sa-
tisfactory results, premiums would hereafter be exteutled to
other districts and to other descriptions of provisions.

gratifying to the Society, whose exertions for obtaining an ame-
lioration of crest laws had been continued kroni time to time
since 1807, to learn the prospect which It now presented of
their being put on a proper footing—that the provisions of the
Bill now in progress through Parliement were so generally
known, that it was unnecessary to advert to them farther than
to say, that they met the views of the Society's Committee;
and toe Directors trusted that the liberal views t:koefn

.Majesty's Government, the Legislature, and in the Report of
the Parliamentary Commiseienete, would be aided by the best
exertions of gentlemen resident in those districts
where smuggling prevails, in carrying into effect the mitiatry
provisions of the Bill when passed into a law.
The Secretary mentioned, that the Direetces, aware of the
advantages that might attend a course of leonine in this city on
the veterinary art, embracing the knowledge of the causes, pre„
vention, and cure of the diseases of hems, id
4C, cattle, and
sheep, had made some progress in the businem the Diree•
tors had particularly in view the great necessity, which was
universally felt to exist, of affording the meruts of better infor-
mation to country smiths and farriers, who were in general very
deficient in the necessary knowledge'. The matter was remit-
ted to a committee, of which Dr. Barclay wrie coovenee,'aseists,

men conversant in the subject. From thaertr:,cpcp.ocoreote of this coins

At last General Meeting had been rem i tteti to the Direeter%
with instructions to present a memorial to his majesty.,
verament name of the Society, steting the appreheneions
a entertain: that thq Act paned ,at. the 0).4 of the last *slim

of Parliament, reducing the Duties on Barilla, would be. at..
tended with serious consequences to the kelp manufacture, and
the numerous population engaged in it. It was reported from
that Committee, that the remit to them had been' carried into
effect, and that in consequence of the representations made on
the subject, a Bill had been introduced in the present Session,
and had just been passed into a law, for the proteethen of the
kelp manufacture.
Mr. basis of Middleton then rose, and said that the satis-
faction which had been derived from this 'measure threatened
to be very short lived, for he had just received information. that
another BiII'IVEM in progress, which must defeat the provisions
of the Act lately passed; for by this Bill the importation of
Barilla, under the reduced duties of the Act of the last Session
of Parliament, was proposed to be extended to the 6th of
January, hilt, seven months later than the period when the
new duties were to be charged, in terms of the Act alluded
to by the Secretary which had just received the Royal
assent. Mr. Inglis concluded by Moving a resolution, declera-'
tory of the Society's opinion, that this second bill of the present
session must completely counteract the salutary provisions of
the previous one, anti that measures should: be taken to eubmit
those sentiniente in the yroper quarter. This gave rise to sonic
discussion, which terintnatedin a remit to the Directors, with
instructions to take such Dleaxurri es might appear expedient
under the circumstances or the case, and on tiVitni of Mr-
Mann> Binning, they. were ittAired to meet ()utile folloiving'
day,. so as no time might ba.losi.
alr. MACDONALD of St. Martins, a Member of the COITI.
mitten on the Gaelic Dictionary, in the unavoidable absence
of Henry Mackenzie, Big. Chairman of that Committee, front
bad health, stated the roceedings of the Committee since late
,General Meeting. file mentioned that the now satisfactory
state of progress of the work would be sufficiently ohvions,
when the Society was informed that It out of 17 letters of the
Gaelic alphabet were transmitted as finished by the learned.
Gentlemen employed In the compilation; that the three re-
enaining letters were also far advanced; and, in fine, that mea-
sures would immediately be taken for subjecting the.wliole to
final revision, and putting the work to press.
As connected with this subject, Lord Ratmatyne laid on the
table proposals by the ltev, Mr. M‘Giblion of Inverary, for re-
publishing by subscription, from a copy at Invorary Castle, the
only one now known to exist, the forms of the Church of Scot-
land, by Bishop Carsewell of Argyll, printed in Gaelic at
Edinburgh so far back as 1567. This ancient and curioua book,
publialied in the Gaelic language at so early a period, must be
highly interesting, not only to the admirers of that languege,
but to the antiquary and general scholar. On his Lordship's
motion, the proposals were remitted to the Cominittee on the
Dictionary.
Sir JOUN SINCLAIX called the attention of the Society to
the expediency of offering 4 premium for information founded
on practical experiment, to regard to the state of maturity at
which the several sorts of grain might be cut without injury to
the crop, and avoiding the risks to which it might otherwise be
exposed. Some authorities refereed to by the Right Bon.
Baronet appeared to suggest that die grain was frequently left
for some time uncut, in tht view of receiving more of the ripen-
ingprocese than was necessary. Thu Meeting referred the
subject to the Directors and to die Committee for. suggesting '
'premiums, amid in the mean tune recommended to the Mem.
hers of the Society, and agriculturists in general, to attend to
the subject in the course of the ensuing harvest, and to com-
municate to the Society the result of any experiment they may
be led to make„--Another suggestion by Sir John, for offering
a premium for information front pracucal experiments as to
the nature cause, means of prevention, and cure of the disease
called the !waxy, frequently so fatal to sheep flocks, was re.
fared to the same Committee.

Letters from Sir Henry Steuart, of AlLinton, Bart. were laid I
on the table, stating ins having for some years practised sue-
cessfully the operation of transplanting fult-grown trees, with.'
out mutilating their branches or •injuring their appearance;
that he had been induced to undertake the drawing. up an ac.
count of his practice' to which his attentiou had been more
particularly called, by observing that the Society had offered
a premium for information on the subject. Sir 'Henry states,
that he proposes to dedicate his publication to the Society, anti
in the meantime requests that a Ci mmittee. of the resident
Members may be appointed to inspect his operations, and re.
port. The Directors having reconunended that the request
should be agreed to, and having named Comenittee Lord
Belhaven. whom failing. Alexander Young, .I:sq.. of' Bar.
burn, was appointed convener, with a recominimdotion to re-
port in the course of the ensuing harvest.
The Secretary mentioned that Mr. John Archd. Murray had
lately called the attention of the Directors to the expediency of
having inquiry made into the advantages of the flnivalt scythe,
Used for cutting down corn in Flanders. From the accounts
of travellers, it appears that the grain is cut and collected with
much comparative ease and neatness ; anti it was thought tie.
*nerving of inquiry whether it would not be of advantage to
have the Instrument introduced into &inland. This subject,
and a notice by Sir John flay, Bart. at the same meeting, in
regard to the difficulty he had experienced from the state of the
existing laws, in importing into this country from thp cond.
nent, specimens of the improved breeds of rattle or sheep, were
recommended to the attention of the Directors. it appeared
that Sir John had lately found it impracticable to get permis-
sion to import some fine woolled sheep front Saxony, of which
he had wished to make trial.

The Secretary laid on the table copies of the reports of the
Commissioners appointed to consider the subject of weights
and measures, and of the Bill introduced into Parliament in
pursuance of these reports;. and a copy of the condonation of,
the transactions of the Society for the encouragement of art*,

CORPORATION.
-On the question that the Limerick Local Taxes Regulation
Bill be read a third time,
The Earl of CLARE expressed his entire approbation of
and his conviction that the measure was necessary for the wel,
fare of the city of Limerick.
The LORD CHANCELLOR felt great 011114:n14es upon
the subject ; for though he improved of some tiarts of the Bill,
he did not know where the prtnciple it established', of interim.;
ence with chartered Corporations, would stop, There . was.
not a Corporation in the empire that might mast Int #44biuoca.
0, such a mime:tare tomorrow. It might be verT lit to remedy
ttbust-s, if any such exivied ; but highly improper to re.rundel
the whole Corporation. Ile d:id not wiilt to oppohe the progress
of the Bill, so much as to prevent its being drawn into price_
dent in future.

Lord REDESDALE, at some Length, stated his objections
to the principle and to the details of the measure..

TI riiEs IN IRELAND.
The 'Marquis of LA NSDOWN (on the briteeing up of the
Report of this Billy renewed his objection on behalf of the"
holders of agistment land. In a parish where two.tithide of I,llc
land waatitheable, and the other third agistutent, the agistment
land-holder was sure to be. bound by a majority ; anti tlus-eforth
the Bill wascompulsory upon hint, arid comp. tisery upon him
only. Ile (Lord 14anstiown) would nut have opposed a general
compulsory measure, but he did very strongly object to a par-
tial ono : he should therefore move that the clause alai-respect
to agistment land should be lett out of the Bill,
The Earl ef WESTMORLAND said, that if the assess.
ment was retold without taking in the at:lst-inept hind, theholders
of such land wouhl, afterwards, be ettbled to turn their land to
other purposes and [it) free fume the tithe, While their neighbours
wart paying it.
The Lori of RI SSLIIN saw to equivalent which the agise-
ment bondholder was to get in lku of his exemption ; and the
agistment landhelders were quite :titre to letiNpOund in the vese
try, because the other proprietors lightened their own tithes by'
saddling them with a share.
The Lail of LIVERPOOL' said, that the Act perrniued a.
man, according to his property, to have m many es votosin
the vestry. Now as the agisttnetA landholders were sitnost
universally among the rich, they had every chance of being
fairly represented.
Lord MAItYI3()ROLTOII thought that it was one great ad_
vantage of the Bill, that it threw part of the general burden
upon the holders of ngistment land.
The Earl of BLESSINGTON declarF3l, that, from the pm-,
sent state of agriculture, many proprietors were compelled to
keep large tracts in the state of agistment land. To pay tithe
upon such land would absolutely rain them.
The Earl of BE LAI()RE could see no reason why the *gist.
ment landholders should be more hardly dealt with than other
classes.
The Bishop of DOWN thought that the clergy of Ireland.
would be ready at all times t 4 give up a portion of their pro•
peaty, in order to preserve the public peace anti welthre. Ile
was of opinion that this Bill would prove bencticial in its re-
sults, and as *ugh would give It his sopport.
, The Eari.ot;p RN concurred in the wish that hod
just boon 00 by the iteveress4 PrOlatet but vort feasts
that lie di4 not ii/nelt look farward to soy ffrott amelioration:
of the tithe system, as 'crowing out of this Bill, As she croso
now stood, the owner of agistinent tithes was clearly the only
party who. was liable to be compelled to part with his property.
Lord CLIFDEN was earnestly desirous that' the 11111 might
produce the beneficial effects which some Noble and Reverend
Lords anticipated ; but really he doubted the fact. It appeared
to hint that ihe best and shortest conise which could be Joined
would be this—to Nell tho tithes, at the full value, to the land-
owner. •

The Marquis of LA NiiDOWN, in explanation, said, thg
seeing what appeared to be the general sentiment of the House,
he would not press his proposition; and the Noble Marquis
withdrew it aecordinglY•
The Bishop of Dow): and Lord Ct. trillerr having mutually
explained, the Report was rectived, and it was agreed to take
the third reading of the Bill to-marrow.
IRISH CHURCHES' 81/.4

The Earl of LIVERPOQI., in ninviogth—e 'third reeding of
the Irish Churches Bill, fetid, that this; Bill would operate as a
measure of relief, as the hater part of it contained a proviaion
for reducing the rates for the rebuilding and repair of churches
from 6 to 4 cent.
Lord 11OLLAND said this was a most extraordinary Bill
both In its thape anti in its provisions. The object of. this
measure was, to make a considerable number of hie Alajeety's
Ittenan Catholk subjects pay fpr the building of Protestant
Churches ; and it was a little whimsical, therefore, to call it 11,
measure of relief. It might be a measure of justice or necessity,
but to call it a measure of relief was a very Irish description of
it. It came before their Lordships, too, in a very questioneblo
shape, for it had no fewer than eight preambles.. This manger
animal, with lot eight legs, had crawled as far an the -thitd.
reading, and was upon the 'pint of jumping into an Act ,of
l'arliament, when a Noble Friend of his who was somewhat
curious in ado ka'anch of natural philosophy, happened to look
into this Bill, and detect some tifits monstrous proeisions. Their
Lordships were, in tact, called upon to pase eight bills, with-
out knowing what they contained. , The Noble Earl itiruseil;

he had accordingly contented himself with calling it a rutaattra
