AMALGAMATION OF HER MAJESTY'S GENERAL
FORCES WITH THE EUROPEAN FORCES OF INDIA.—Last
night's Gazette contains copies of general orders published
by the Governor-General and the Commander-in •Chief in
India relating to the formation of staff corps in each of the
Presidencies of Bengal, Madras, and Bombay, and the an-
nouncement of the Queen's intention regarding the Euro-
pean officers and men belonging to the Indian forces,
whereby the two armies will be united.
MELANCHOLY AND FATAL BATHING ACCIDENT.

—A case of drowning occurred on Monday about noon, on
the beach opposite Cannon-place, Brighton, to a young man
named James Henry Barber. What renders the occurrence
more sad is the fact that the deceased was married as lately as
Thursday last, and had come down to Brighton on Saturday
with his wife, and taken lodgings at 45, Grenville place.
Having engaged one of Campbell's machines, he went into
the water, and as he said ho could not swim, the attendant
directed his attention to a rope to take hold of, which he did
not, it appears, avail himself of. After being in the water
about a quarter of i n hour, he was seen by a young man,
whose acquaintance he had made on the beach, when
about up to his breast in the water, to turn over as if
attempting in play 'it sort of summersault, and to disappear.
As he did not come up again the alarm was given, and
Campbell's son went in and tried to find him, but could
not, and, as the water was thick, did not attempt to dive
for him. A boat and nets were then procured, and search
was made for the body, which was recovered in a lifeless
state at the second cast of the net, and was conveyed to
Hobden's baths and placed immediately in a hot bath.
Mr. Pocock, surgeon, who arrived in a few minutes, used
every means for a considerable time to restore animation,
but in vain, as the body had been immersed in the water
from 20 minutes to half an hour, thus rendering recovery
perfectly hopeless. A thin piece of seaweed, about four
inches long, was found to have been drawn into the wind-
pipe of deceased, and this was supposed by Mr. Pocock to
have helped to produce suffocation. The greatest possible
praise is due to the proprietors of Hobden's baths for the
attention and kindness bestowed by them, not only on this,
but on former similar occasions. An inquest was held in
the evening, at the Lamb and Flag Inn, Cranboucn-street,
when a verdict of Accidentally Prowned was returned.—
Brighton Examiner.

MORMON EMIGRATION. The emigration of
Mormonists to the Salt Lake settlement via Liverpool,
continues. Yesterday morning upwards of fifty of the
" brethren " left London by the North Western Railway
for the same destination, under the care of " Elder"
Joseph Gibson, who stated his party would be augmented
by a number of the " saints " at Peterborough, collected
from the agricultural districts of Norfolk and Suffolk.
Thirty years ago the " Prophet" Joseph Smith organised
the Mormon ehurch with six members. At the present
time the church in Utah consists of four presidents, nine
apostles, 2,060 s:onites, 805 higlipriests, 1,050 elders, 50l
priests, 480 teachers, 946 deacons, besides the usual ratio
of persons in training for the ministry,
