INDIAN INTELLIENCE.

Calcutta Journals have reedier' us to the latter
end of December. Now that peace with the
Goorkabs has been concluded, oriental ufnirs be-
come less interesting.
A serious affray has taken place in India be-
tweet) his Majesty's 87th foot and the division of
tic Hon. Company's European regiment. Such
had been the jealousy and ill-will excited between
the troops, that it was determined to separate
them, by sending away the 87th regiment front.
its station at Berhampore. The llth of, Novem-
ber was appointed for that purpose, when the
evening before many privates of that corps rush-
ed out of their barracks, armed with naked bayo-
nets, and a regular battle ensued between them
and a part of the lion. Company's European re-
giment. But fur the timely and spirited interfer-
ence of their respective Officers, the consequences
might have been fatal ; as it was, before they
could be parted, many men were severely, and
souse dangerously wounded. An inquiry has
been instituted to ascertain the causes of this
quarrel.
\Ve regret to state, that the above affair is not
the only instance of refractory conduct of which
our troops in India have been guilty., A letter
front Bangalore states, that some very unpleasant
disturbances had taken place in his Majesty's 84th
regiment, and in consequence a Court-martial had
been instituted for the trial of eight of the ring-
leaders, who, it was apprehended, would be ca-
pitally punished.
The following .extract of General Orders *ill
throw some light on the subject

114.nga1..., Oct. 4ed 1815.

" The Commander in Chief having deemed it
proper to abstain, pending the trials now caVry-
ing on, from giving publicity to the sentiments
which have been excited in his breast by the dis-
graceful. transactions in. which the great body of
met! of the first battalion 84th regiment is impli-
cated. tits Excellency has, for similar reasons,
determined to dispense with the presence of that
corps attending anylinetal parkde, antehedent tb
the period, of making known the issue' of the
Courts-martial, which it has, been his duty to or-
der on the present unhappy' occasion._ Hia Ma-
jesty's 84th regiment will therefore remain farmed
in its own Barrack.:sgtiare during the general pa-rade andgutipl-mounting to-morrow.
(iigued) CONWAY, Atti.-Cebieral."
The Commander in Chief of Madras was on hix
*ay to Seringapatam, fur the purpose of examin•:.
ing that place, anti of ascertaining whether it
would be practicable 10 do away the same as a
inilitaty station, on account of the extreme
healthiness ut' the climate. Majesty's 34th
regiment, when it went thete about a year sinte,
was 1000 strong, - hut last month it could not
muster 300 men on parade. The itutive troops
are equally alticted.

INO. VII.)

No. 839.—When We first, saw this Number, it
was a '" Bird's-eye Vied) of a Prison," by H.
Biers-; but by a wittinsiewl ,transformation it is
now-a small tchole-tength of the Prince of Coburg,
by Mr. Chilton: •• •

Against. a nap of the Royal Academy, this por-
trait ltas been admißed after thetime limited for
receiving' any pictures:- 'AVilether the anxiety of
the,Publie-tv sec's likeness of a personage be-
come so interesting 'to it, is wsufficiem excuse
for deviating front the established practice, we
shall not pretend to deternrine.,-, It, is, however)
an era in the history of the Exhibition, and ten...
tiers that hereafter- a question' of degree ‘rhich
Was 'heretofore a fixed and• settled • Canon.—
There 'a very fine bust of -the 'Prince by
Turnerelli,- and •there have • been • other, like-
nesses produced of his Highness, all of which
might set tip .as 'good pretensions to 'enrich
the• spectacle 'at ..Sotnerset-house, or complaits
of partiality, ilrejected.• .7ln short, much as we
are gratified with• Mr. Chalon's portrait, the plea-•
sure of viewing it amour National Exhibition is
greatly thimpedisy reflecting on the innovation to
which we owe it. •••• •
,:Of the picture itself we have little to say. It
is a likenesq'„ perhaps rather sharp and animated ;
the features 'preserved, but not the character and
expression of the countenance.. •
A flue softened engraving,- from the head- and.
bust, has been published by Ackermann, and eon-
one judginent, a much more accurate re-
semblance of the Prince than the original.

'No. 115. The Crud/LA-Jan.—E. Brun,
This we -consider to be one of Air. fineit
productiotti.. The tone of colottr is better than
he usually is,. and the composition equal to "thy
of those works which have justly raised him to so
distinguished a place in the British school. it is
very evident that he has studied with the ob-
servant eye., and the true feeling of an Artist.,
those admirable specimens•olthe ancient masters;
Arhicil are most celebrated for the manner in which.
they have treated this awful event. But he has
not thence given Ls a servile imitation, or a copy;
on,the contrary, there is as much or 4). inality its
the subiectadmitted, and great beauty in the exe-
cution of the whole. The moment is that in
which Jesus is pierced with the spear, and the
effect of this final blow upon the women is de-
lineated with great pathos and effect. The vari-
ous emotions of the spectators are also excellent..
ly pourtrayed J. the grouping iu gettetal exquisite ;
the ,interest in the back-ground well preserved-)
and-the entire picture one of the high ornaments
of this year's hxltibition.
No. 1 t 3. Jour de ntc at St. Cloud, September 11115.—Mrs.
C. LONG,

Like the wall of the Great Hoorn, we shall di-
versity our Critique- by notioing a Picture as un-
like the preceding us is possible, and hung close
upon it. This is a gay and characteristic retire.
sentution of a fantastic und.inemorable occasion.
The dresses of the motley multitude, lien all
nations held their jubilee at. Paris, are r.orrectly
copied, and are, the attitudes' of thu
figures, extremely entertaining; We nei'er sant
a more felicitous sketch of a scene oh this sou : It
is perfectly easy with a great degree of taste, stint
affords a perfect idea of ate composition of 4 Pa.
tisiun FC!te.

Nu. V2O. nee, front the Grartails at llra»iley,
the same fair Artist.

Having been led to mention one of this I.4atly's
productions, it would be unjust to pass the
only other piece she has sent•tO the Exhibition
unnoticed. This lovely little landscape challenges
'the warmest praise. The subject
.is well chosen.
and chastely exet uteri. The finish is not too high.
to abstract it from nature, and the brit ht tints in
the center tire thrown in with exquisite shill, to
vary one of the :simplest and sweetest of our
native scenes. •
