BRITISH FRIEND OF INDIA MAGAZINE.

Mr. Cotton, a resident Magistrate in Tanjore, and
who has seen five-and-twenty years' service in South
India, has, it appears, from a paper entitled " Kid-
napping of Children in Tanjore," detected no less
than seven cases of children abducted from that
locality, and sold at adjacent slave-marts for ten
and eighteen shillings each. An interesting ac-
count notices the " Khurta, Bhoja Converts," or
Worshippers of the Creators—a peculiar sect, who,
subdivided into five sections, and amounting to an
hundred thousand persons, spread between Hooghly
and the Jelingha in India. They date their origin
from a milkman, IA ho settled near Hooghly about the
year 1795, and their faith appears to be a pure
Deism. Various papers relating to Indian traffic
and agency diversify the articles.

AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND •
MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
A scarcity of efficient hands, or a dearth of labour,
whereby crops during years of plenty have been not
unfrequently lost for want of labour to get them in,
is assigned as the leading " Cause of the Embarrass-
ment in New South Wales," by a writer who treats
on that subject. A paper on the infant settlement of
Port Essington, in Australia, shows the traffic to be
yearly growing into importance about Sydney ;
in 1832 the tonnage of vessels which cleared that port
for the great Eastern emporiums, was 4,700; in 1836
it had increased to no less than 14,950 tons. The use
of a few ships to be employed expressly in conveying
a dozen of beehives or two, and other comodities of the
Indies to the small colonies of Australia is advanced
as a thing to be desired; as also the introduction Of
camels, of whose serviceability there is no doubt.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
Nothing was said or done yesterday that in any degree im'
proves the prospects of those interested in the settlement oe
the late Derby ; on the contrary, we find that the absentees are
even more numerous, the unpaid balances much larger (we had
been very liberal in our estimate), and the chances of obtaining
payment more remote than had been calculated on. There ap-
pears to be little doubt that three or four parties from classic
regions may be put down as " back" but as it is the wish of the
sufferers that they thould have three days' grace in addition to
that already extended, we abstain from exposing them by name
until next week.

ASCOT RACES.
A meeting of the trustees of the grand stand, consisti gof
the Earl of Rosslyn, Henry Seymour, Esq., Thomas Rawl
Ward, Esq., and Mathias Gilbertson, Esq., with the secretary,
Mr. 'I homes Hibburd, assembled on Wednesday last at the
stand, on theheath, for thepurpose of making themecessarypee-
'urinary arrangements for the ensuing week. The chair was
taken by the Earl of Rosslyn.
Some very considerable improvements have been effected is
the vicinity of the grand stand since last year, by Mr. Hibbard,
the clerk of the course. The rails which were in front of and
between the grand stand and the course have been removed,
leaving an open space between the enclosed lawn in front of the
-stand and the course. This area will be kept entirely clear,
the public not being permitted to remain at this spot in order
that there may be no obstruction to the view of the spectatorss•
from the lawn, who have paid for admission to the stand.
Mr. Hall, the Chief Magistrate of Bow-street, will be ie
attendance during the races, assisted by Mr. Burnaby, the
Chief Cie*. A very great improvement has been effected bit
Mr. Hibburd in connexion with the room appropriated to the
use of the sitting Magistrate, under the stand of the Jockey
Club. Heretofore the pickpockets and other offenders appre-
hended on the course have been taken before the sitting Magi!'
trate through the same entrance appropriated to the public, 19
consequence of their having been no other mode of ingress to
the building. A separate entrance for the prisoners hasjest
been constructed at the rear of the premises, in order that
offenders may be introduced:to the Magistrate without jostling
and annoying the general company.
The whole of the other arrangements wil be conducted upon
the same excellent plan as heretofore. •
The following horses had arrived at Ascot up to yesterday
morning
The Marquis of Westminster's Satirist; William de Fortis'
bus, and Auckland; the Duke cf Bedford's Envoy, the mow
of Grafton's Euterpe, Mr. Pbillimure's Fincbley, Solimewee
and Rochester; Col. Peel's I'msnot-aware and Nicholas; MI.
Ord's Beeswing.
Besides these arrivals there are fourteen horses at Scott's
stables on the heath, and ten at Death's.
Every stable and box in the neighbourhood of Ascot ha"
been engaged. Indeed a greater number of horses are es-
pccted than have been known to attend this meeting for man,
seasons past.
Although the course is in excellent order, yet some twelve
hours' rain between now and Monday would very maeria"
tend to its improvement.
Six extra high stands have been erected, which are as want:
that
part can be permitted, from the want of additional room in '
part of the heath appropriated to them, in the immediate vi(37.
airy of the grand stand. Several applications from other ratites
have consequently been necessarily rejected.
The Queen's stand is now beirg prepared for the reception
of the Court and her Majesty's Royal and Illustrious visitors.
by several workmen, upholsterers, and others, employed In the
Lord Chamberlain's department, under the superintendenceq
Mr. Saunders. The draperies of tine Queen's refre&hment an
retiring rooms, consisting of elegant blue and white chiers'
's
beautifully arranged in de form of a spacious marquee
tastefully ornamented with Turkish festoons, have just nt,
completed. The chairs, carpels, and other furniture, nal
arrived, and the whole of the splendid fittings will be COP'
pleted in the course of Monday.
It is quite certain that her Majesty will honour the Wes
with her presence on Tuesday and Thursday.
