INDIA.

The last accounts from India bring nothing
very interesting.—MEEli KHAN had ceased to op-
pose hostile measures to the Raj di of JYPOIIE:,
and continued to be the ;met cessor between
GHUFFOOR KHAN and the BEIAFE. The affairs of
MOOLTAN and DACRUDEEN I'UNNAH were still un-
settled, and RuNJBET SING Contililted inflexible
on the subject of tribute. The 'Marquis of
HASTINGS 113(1 arrived at Patna, on his route to
the tipper Provinces. .
WATatmoo —We learn with much pleasure
that the Contributors to the Fund for the relief of
the Sufferers of the glolious field of Waterloo,.
from Calcutta and the other Presidencies of
In-
dia, under the example and influence of the N,,hie
Governor-General, have amounted to nearh
60,0001. This is, indeed, a manifestation of libe-
rality, of love of country, of recollection of home,
and of the sense of merit and of gthtirtitle,
matchless in the record, of modern times, as iN
the high desert, the great success, and he greater
consequences of that great and glorious day of
❑ y energy and devotional courage and skill.

The PASTort tvho,heholds his Chtireh.s spire •
O'er trees which shade..hishOme ; who far from mock
Of worldly fools and er'ry ‘Forldlyshock,
Save lor Man's flwal good, feels no desire
Beyond the influence of hie little tire:
Who as a faithful Shepherd, tends his flack,
And bids them, li:se hiltiself, build on the rock
Of Faith ; who, fricnd alike to Son and, Sire,

Li ali their surrovv, spews abrigacr day
To come, guards them from Sin's deltrive wiles,

And, as he 1,,u1s them on Salvation's way,
Reforms, exhorts, confirms, and reconriles :
On snch a man, with head tmlilancli'd or grey,
E'cn Angels love to look with fav'ring• smiles.
