[EXTRACTS FROM EAST INDIA PAPERS.]
We hear with regret, that the young and beau.
tiful wife of a certain Koyasteof Mizapore, hay.
ing lately gone out to wash herself in one of the
neighbouring tanks, met by the way Baboo Pe-
tambur Ghose, one of the sons of the late Seta-
ram Ghose, who, being violently attracted by her
youth and beauty, and finding her unat-
tended, seized the opportunity to force her
to his house, and after gratifying his brutal
passion, let her go away. The girl, with
tears' in her eyes, hastened to the Thane at
Potuldunga, and informed the Thanadar of every
thing that had happened. Next morning the
Thanadar, after having made inquiries, accord-
ingly made a report to the police of the circum•
stances relating to this abominable transaction.
We cannot now give any further particulars, but
when the case is decided, we will try to publish
a full account of the fact.—( Kownlood,v, July t.)
A Moosulman town woman, named Ulloka, in-
habitant of Serampore, had two paramours, both
run-away Beharahs, with one of whom she lately
fell out. On Thursday, the 30th of June last,
at about five o'clock in the evening, they renewed
the dispute, and so began to strike one another.
But the Beharah, being too much irritated at
this insult offered him, entered their apartment,
and bringing out a sharp knife, began to stab the
woman in several parts of her body, in such a
manner, that blood oozed out-of the wounds,
and she was thrown senseless on the ground.
lie afterwards, thinking 'dwell* worthless in
the world, and not liking to survive the loss of
his lover, also drove the knife into his belly, and
instantly fell on the ground. Next morning,
persons of the neighbourhood, being informed of
the circumstance, immediately sent notice to the
Darogah, who, just on receiving this news, has-
tened to the spot, and made a report of the ci-
cumstance to the police. Several surgeons had
tried many of their best medicines to cure them,
but nothing could effect it. The Beharah expired
at about nine o'clock in the evening of that date,
and the woman an hour afterwards.

A certain woman, inhabitant of Calcutta, hav-
ing intended to see the Ooßah Rutt at Maltase,
set out for that village the day prior to the fes-
tival ; but not being able to reach that place on
that day, remained at Serampore. On the mor-
row, after getting up from her bed, she called
her companions, and informed them, that she felt
extremely warm, and gradually fainted. On this
complaint, many means were exerted, but all in
vain, as she gradually grew worse, and soon after
expired.—(Somachar Durpun, July 2, 1825.1
llamchunder Chaterjia, inhabitant of Bayloor,
has a large elephant, which he lately sent with
his driver to his Taulook ak Auntpore. One
day, at stoma, the driver, perceiving that the ele-
phailt was thirsty, desired his uncle, who was
his companion, to drive the animal to drink some
water. He accordingly loosened the chains of
his hind legs, and as he was about to ride him,
he began to move his 'trunk, and make a great
noise. The driver's uncle at first tried all he
could to pacify him, but not being able to suc-
ceed, he brought a large bamboo, and struck
him very severely on the trunk with it,
which greatly irritated the animal, and rushing
forward, he surrounded the man with his hunk,
and put part of his body in his mouth, which
killed him.—Some little girls witnessing this
frightful spectacle, went to the driver, and in-
formed him of the circumstance. The driver, on
this, went to the spot, and found to his deep
fa/fiction that his uncle's head was broken to
pieces, and l►e lying dead on the ground.—(So-
machur Durpun, 25th July, 1825.)

31ELAITCHOLY ACCIDENT,-.-ST. KITT'S, MARCH 5.
The mail-boat Maria, Captain WHITNEY, from this Island
to. Antigua, pnfortunately ran on Sandy Island, a few miles
to the northward of St. John's, Antigua, about nine o'clock
p. m., on Monday, the 27th ult., and was totally lost, with
every person on hoard, except the mate, who was providen.
tially saved, and picked up near this island. lie states, that
it was blowing a gale of wind, and quite dark, when she
struck. She immediately bilged, anti the first sea washed their
boat overboard. The mate directly sprang overboard to get
the boat back to the vessel, and after some difficulty reached
hor ; but not finding an oar on board her, or any thing by
which he could possibly. steer, she drifted to leeward, and was
picked up between this island and Nevis two days afterwards.
He says that he heard the most appalling cries of distress for
some minutes after he gut into the boat. There happened, un-
fortunately, to be several passengers on board, principally the
Methodist Missionaries, and their families, front this island,
having met here on their annual convocation. The greater
part of the wreck was drifted down here, and the body of one
of the children was picked up on Saturday, with several trunks
belonging to them ; and there can be no question but that
every soul on board her perished. The following are the names
of the unfortunate passengers :—Rev. T. Truscot, his wife,
and child ; Rev. William Oke; Rev. Mr. IVhite, his wife, and
three children; Rev. Daniel Heillier, who has left a widow and
live children at Antigua ; Rev. John Jones and his wife ; two
coloured female servants, two gentlemen from St. Thomas's,
names unknown ; Captain Whitney and a crew of seven per-
sons. Poor %Vliitney has left a widow and seven children at
Antigua.

Between the hours of nine and ten o'clock yes-
terday morning, the Strand, from Charing-cross
to the Adelphi Theatre, was completely crowded
and literally blocked up by stage-coaches, hack-
ney-coaches, and vehicles of various descriptions :
the confusion caused by such an assemblage was
very great, and the anxiety depicted in the coun-
tenances and actions of the several drivers, toge-
ther with the voluble and declamatory addresses
on the occasion, very fully illustrated both the
necessity and utility of the widening and hnprov-
ing the street according to the plan which has
been devised and lately laid before Parliament.

A very serious accident had nearly happened
on Ludgate-hill, at the corner of the Old Bailey,
on Monday afternoon, in consequence of a tim-
ber.carriage with three immense long pieces of
timber, in turning to go up the Old Bailey,
coming in contact with the story.posts of mr.
Mari iott's house, part of one of them it removed,
which had it gone the least distance further it
must inevitably have carried away, and with it
numerousareallowed to persons
at hese carriages the whole front of the house, to the imminent
danger of itsl:t inhabitants and
who were passing by. It has long been a cause
for complaint,
pass through crowded streets with loads of such
immense length as to endanger the safety of both
persons and property, and loudly calls for magi-
sterial interference.
