The Mohurrum festival passed over, as I antici-
pated, throughout the Presidency, in the most per-
fect quiet. A. less noisy celebration of it has never
been known iu Madras. Every caution was taken
to prevent a disturbance; and it is probable that
not loyalty, but fear, had a wholesome influence on
the wretched, starving, and, I might almost say,
spectral inhabitants of Triplicaue. How the unfor-
tunate creatures manage to subsist is to me a per-
fect marvel. The wretched Mussulmans of Tripli-
cane had little enough of diversion during this fes-
tival, but something new at least they did have, and
that was a past mime, in which the performers did
the " shoulder up" and " fix bayonets" of the vo-
lunteers in a style little inferior to that of the
heroes themselves. I have no wish to cast reflec-
tions on a gallant and patriotic body of men; but
this I will say, that a more ridiculous farce was
never enacted than this one of the volunteers. The
body was formed almost solely with a view to an
emergency which is past; and when that emergency
occurred, that is to say, the Mohurrum festival, not
a single volunteer had fired a ball cartridge, while
the serviceable men, who might be said to form a
sixth of the whole, declared that if they were called
out they would be in infinitely greater dread of their
bungling comrades than of the rabble itself. Com-
mon sense would have dictated a different system
of training, and have taught the men to have fired
off their pieces and used their bayonets before
putting them through a series of complicated eve-
