RAMMOHUN ROY.

We understand that this celebrated and interesting man
is now on a visit at Stapleton Grove, near this city. He
is the first recorded instance of a conversion to Christianity
from the Brahminicat faith. He makes a point, we un-
derstand, of regularly attending Christian worship. He
worshipped, last Sunday miming, with the congregation
assembling in Lewin's Mead Chapel, whose sentiments
are supposed to be more akin to those of the Rajah than
those of any other religious sect. The following testimony
to the talents and virtues of this great Indian reformer,
was borne so long ago as ISI9, by Lieutenant-Colonel
Fitzclarence, in his Journal of a route across India, &c.:—
" I became well acquainted with him, and admire his
talents and acquiremeuts. His eloquence in our language
is very great, and, I am told, he is still more admirable in
Arabic and Persian. It is remarkable, that he has studied
and thoroughly understands the politics of Europe, but
m ,re particularly those of England ; and the last time
was in his company, he argued forcibly against a standing
army in a free country, and quoted all the arguments
brought forward by the members of the opposition. I
think that he is, in many respects, a most extraordinary
person. In the first place, he is a religious reformer,
who has, amongst a people more bigotted than those of
Europe in the middle ages, dared to think for himself.
His learning is most extensive, as he is not only conver-
sant with the best books in English, Arabic, Sanserit,
Bengalee, and Hindostanee, but has even studied rhetoric
in Arabic and English, and quotes Locke and Bacon
on all occasions. From the view be thus takes of the
religions, manners, and customs of so many nations, and
from his having observed the number of different
modes of addressing and worshipping the Supreme Being,
he naturally turned to his own faith with an unprejudiced
mind, found it perverted with the religion of the Vedas
to a gross idolatry, and was not afraid, though aware of
the consequences, to publish to the world, in Bengalee and
English, his feelings and opinions on the subjoct. Of
course he was fully prepared to meet the host of interested
enemies who, from sordid motives, wished to keep the
lower classes in a state of the darkest ignorance. I have
understood that his family have quitted him—that be has
been declared to have lost caste—and is for the present, as
all religious reformers must be for a time, a mark to be
scoffed at. To a man of his sentiments and rank, this
loss of caste must be particularly painful, bat at Calcutta
he associates with the English. He is, however, cut off
from all familiar and domestic intercourse; indeed, from,
all communication, of any kind, with his relations arid
former friends. His name is Ramtnobun Roy. He is
particularly handsome, not of a very dark complexion, of
a fine person, and most courtly manners. He professes
IL) objection to eat and live as we do, but refrains from it,
in order not to expose himself to the imputation of having
changed his religion for the good things of this world. He
will sit at table with us while the meat is on it, which so
other Brahmin will do. He continues his nr,tive dress,
but keeps a carriage, being a man of some property. He
is very desirous to visit England, and enter into one of
our universities, where I shall be most anxious to see him
and to learn his ideas of our country, its manners, and
eustoms.—Rri.ioi Mercury.

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.—The following
account of the wreck of a gentleman's yacht in the bay of
Cardigan, on the night of Friday, the 30th of August, is
extracted from the letter of a correspondent at Aberystwitb,
dated Sept. 7:—" Mr. Hargrave, a mei chant (If Dublin,
with his wife, five children, an establishment of servants,
and the usual complement of sailors, had been for some
time enjoying an aquatic tour in St. George's Channel, in
an excellent sailing vessel of about 70 tons burden. The
morning they sailed from Tenby was exceedingly fine, but
about 5 o'clock p..n. a slight gale began to blow from the
