NEWS FROM INDIA.

The Bombay mail has brought news from Calcutta to
the 23rd, and from Bombay to the 26th of November,
We take the following items from the overland sum-
maries of the Bombay papers :

Mr. J. F. D. Inglis, of the Bengal Civil Service has
been appointed an additional member of the Viceregal
Legislative Council. Mr. Inglis is senior member of the
revenue board in the North West Provinces.

Surgeon-Major F. J. Mouat, Inspector-General of
gaols, Lower Provinces, Bengal, has been permitted to
retire from the service on a pension of £550 per annum.
Dr. Mouat is to be succeeded by Dr. Fawcus, the Deputy
Inspector-General.
A memorial praying for a Royal Commission upon the
system of Government in India is now in course of circu-
lation in Calcutta, with a view to eventual transmission to
England.

The sum of over £1,420 sterling has been remitted
from the Bombay public to Colonel Lloyd Lindsay for the
wounded in the Franco-German war. This is indepen-
dently of £7OO raised among the Masonic bodies, and nearly
£l,OOO collected by the German Consul.
The Bishop of Calcutta is at present in Bombay. A
Church conference will be held shortly.
A memorial of the late Sir Herbert Edwardes is to he
constructed at Peshawur, in the shape of an ornamental
fountain.

The women of Calcutta who have joined the Brahmo
religious movement have presented to Baboo Keshub
Chtmder Sen an address welcoming him back, thanking
him heartily for the perils he had encountered in behalf of
their religion, and assuring him of their kind affection and
reverence.

Cholera has broken out in the camp of his Majesty the,
Shah of Persia, who had set out on his pilgrimage to Ker•
beta. The Turkish quarantine authorities were in doubts
as to how they could turn his Majesty aside for a time
from Turkish territory. The expedient of a grand hunt
had been thought of.
At the meeting of the Viceregal Council, which was to
be held on the 25th of November, Mr. Fitzjames
Stephen was expected to deliver an elaborate speech on
the Wahabees and other dangerous tribes in the hills.
Respecting Mr. Stephen's proposed amendments to the
Penal Code, which were laid before the Council
on the 18th of November, the Calcutta corres,
pondent of the Times, who was present on the occasion,
says : —" I came away with the impression that it must be
hard work to a man like Mr. Stephen to bear up against
the dead weight of a Council that is itself overweighted
with dignified form. I should say that when a man intends
to do anything in the Council of India he must find the
inspiration from within, for the chances are that he will
have none from without."
A European broker in Bombay named Henry Robert
Reel, who was in pecuniary difficulties, has committed
suicide by taking opium.
The Pioneer's Calcfitta correspondent alludes to the cold
reception the Viceroy got from the Calcutta public, and
mentions a rumour that the names of certain persons who
have in a marked manner absented themselves from Go-
vernment House since his Excellency's return are about
to be struck off the Visitors' List.
The erection of a floating bridge for the Hooghly is
said to have been sanctioned by the Government of
India. Mr. Leslie, the etigineer, will proceed to England
shortly, and it is expected that the bridge will be
actively commenced about December of next year.

We understand that Captain Poynter, late a the
16th Regiment, has commenced legal proceedings in the
Irish Court of Common Pleas to recover damages, laid at
£5,000, from Mr. J. G. V. Porter, of Belleisle, for a mult

actions near Enniskillen.— Saunders's Newsletter.
