EAST INDIES.

CALCI;TTA, Jut.Y 30.-Tlt is said, that the 20th
Regiment of Native Int-entry will ernhatk about
the sth proximo for Ceylon.
On Tuesday, a Royal salute and three volleys of
musketry were fired from tie ramparts of Fort
William, in honour of the accession of his High-
ness Maharaja Ragojee Bhooslab to the Mosnuil
of Nagpore.
The following singular circumstance, which
occurred a few days ago at Garden Reach, has
been communicated to os for insertion :
".A washernian engaged in his occupation on
the edge of a tank, was iinther,ing a piece of cloth
which he held in his hand in the water, when a
large fish sprung forward, seized the cloth and the
man's area in his month, and was triumphantly
swimming off with his prey. Fortunately, how -
ever, a person close by at the time caught hold
of the washerwan's quivering leg, and dragged
both man and fish on shore ! The animal was itn-
niedi:itely taken to the Police Thalia to be
exhi-
bited. It weighed a maund and a half, and was
about six feet in length, of the species commonly
called Sowlee. The washerman's arm was con-
siderably lacerated."
Bowsnv.—A report of the Cholera Morbus
having appeared at Penwell, reached the Pre-
sidency on T:tusday, when a medical Gentleman,
with nionerous assistants, was dispatched to render
the sufferers all the necessary aid, and to report
on it ; since which, we have been informed, it has
made its appearance in Bombay, though not at-
tended with such violent symptoms as at other
stations, yet we understaod, that some deaths
have occurred ; we have, however, but little
anxiety of its spreading to any degree, as mea-
sures haVe been taken by the Medical Board to
insure the most prorent assistance.
Since the foregoing was written, we have been
favoured with the perusal of a letter from Tan-
nab, on the same subject, which mentions the
casualties at Panwell as amounting to 13 in all,
among which is a conductor of stores. Mr. Lie-
wellen, the medical gentleman who went from
this to Penwell, on Thursday, has, we under-
stand, been fortunate its his practice, and the
most beneficial results have already taken place
through his extortions; the village of Bellapoor
has been also visited by this malady, and a few
casualties have occurred, but ample supplies of
medicine have been forwarded to that place and
Tollijah. Connected with this subject, we are
sorry to state, that, with a view to create alarm
n the Tannish district, some evil disposed per-
sons had cancer] two buffaloes to he painted in an
extraordinary manner, and had sent them from
village to village by means of the Haziree Biga-
ries, and the prevalent idea is, that werever these
animals have gone, there the disease will follow ;
the buffaloes have, however, been seized, and we
are informed will be sold by public auction, and we
trust the reward of the 300 rupees that has been
offered, will lead to the apprehension of the of-
fenders. _

Our last letters from Poonah mention, that this
disease srillico►►tinues in this city, and the death•
among the lower classes have been as many as 30
and 40 a day.
A part of the Dutch expedition had sailed from
Batavia a few days previous to the departure of
the Laurel, and the remainder was to follow on
the morning after she sailed. Their destination
was Borneo, where they were to renew their former
establishments, and afterwards Malacca.

FlRE.—Last night an alarming fire broke out
at Mr. KNIGHT'S timber and deal yard, Mile End
Road, which in a abort time consumed the pre-
mises, whereon lay a considerable quantity of
planks and deals. The premises being enclosed
%% jai gates, confined the pl4ce from the assem-
bled multitude, and gave the firemen full space to
play the engines, which were well supplied with
water. No lives were lost, nor further damage
to other property.
A CAUTION TO BAKBRS, &c.—Within the last
fortnight upwards of 30 Bakers were summoned
before the So dug Magistrates, the Rev. William
Hill Newbold, D D., the Reverend Edmund
Potter Clarke, and -- ArNevel, Esq., at the
Grand Jury Chambers, Winchester, charged with
having in their possessisu bread short of weight,and
alum, pearl-ash, and other unlawful ingredients for
the put p,,se of mixing with flour to bake into
bi-, ad. The charges being proved, they were se-
veraqy convicted in the full penalty for each offence.
Upwards of 60 publicans in the diyision of Faw-
ley, in the county of Southampton, were convicted
in the full penalty, for having in their possession
short measures.
