begin-
ning to lose their influence over the more enlightened
natives of India, when they stand directly in the way of
moral and intellectual advancement, is abundantly mani-
fested by the numbers proceeding to Europe this summer
to visit the Paris Exhibition. By the mail leaving for
Suez
on the 3d of April, and by the present mail, there
will proceed to Europe two Banias, two Bhattias, two
Bhonsallees, one Punjaubee, one Brahmin from Gazerat,
three Purboos, and four Parsees. The terrors of ex-
communication from caste privileges—far more instant
in their actions and dread in their effects than the thun-
ders of Rome—have already been held over the head of
the majority of these ; but they persevere in their inten-
tion notwitstandiug.—Times of India, April 13.
It appeals that the secret of the bird-slaying on
our sea-coasts liee chiefly in the fashion, now so prevalent
among young ladies, of wearing the plumage of sea-birds
in their bats. If this practice is persisted in, the result
will be the almost total disappearance of one of the most
interesting classes of objects which our shores present.
THE RAILWAYS IN INDIA.--A letter received from
Calcutta says :—" Ili the course of a few weeks the
Jubbulpore line from Alliihabad will be open as far Ai
Myhere, and an engine will run the whole length of 231 I
miles. Already, before their completion, not ten years
after the death of their groat designer, the Marquis of
Dalhousie, our nine Indian railways yield a revenue of
four cud a half millions sterling, more than the whole
revenue of Mexico, nearly that of Brazil, nearly twice that
of Canada, and more than twice th ludianat of Denmark
rail ; n
three years, at the present rata of progres,;
ways will yield as much as the whole state revenue o
• finished the
Belgium. The sooner the great lines grand Peshawur
better, by the Rajpoutana, ludus Vallay,
extensions."
SERIOUS FlRE.—Last night, about half-past eight,
a fire broke out at No. 5, Wine-office-court, Fleet-street,
which is contiguous to several large printing offices. The
premises, in which was some considerable property, were
destroyed, as well as their contents, and the houses ad-
joining were much aalllitgeel by iixe and water.

ASCOT.

Ostreger gave Limner and Lictor just over a
mile, clipping ; and Opoponax galloped a mile and
three quarters, doing it first class. Tourmalin took
North Marston a mile, very fast ; Van Amburgh and
Friponnier were active ; and Knight of the Garter
bowled along splendidly, indeed, we never notice&
him move with more freedoin. Most of the othe,ra
were trotting and cantering, the weather even at
early morn being exceedingly close for them.
