BOMBAY, Moo 28.
Sunday last, being Whitsunday, the Bishop of Cal.
cutta preached a sermon in St. Thomas's Church, for
the benefit of the " Incorporated Society for the Pro.
pagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts." The collet.
tion made in the Church amounted to nearly 1900
rupees, besides intimations from some of the principal
persons of their intention to enter their names on the
following day.
The day following, a meeting Was held in St.Thomas's
Church, the Bishop in the chair. The Honourable the
Governor moved the thanks of the meeting to she
Bishop, for his sermon preached the day preceding, with
a request that he would allow it to be printed. This
was seconded by the Chief Justice, and carried unAni.
mously. The Bishop having returned thanks, and
expressed his assent to the request made to him, then
proceeded to open the business for which the meeting
was assembled, viz. to propose the formation of a do.
trict committee of the Society tbr the Propagation at
the Gospel; which proposal was agreed to, and plies
adopted for the guidance of the Committee. Th.mks
were again given to the Bishop for his exertions on:hi
and all occasions in the cause of humanity and L' e
Christian religion; and a subscription for the purpc.es
of the Society was then made, to the amont i);

under the usual salute, for Poonah, where he is to comecnte the
Church. It is understood he intends leaving this part of India
finally in the beginning of neat month.

Newfoundland papers to the 26th ult. have reached
us. The new Governor, Sir THOMAS I. COCH RAVE, had
arrived from England, and was immediately waited
upon with addresses from the Members of the Lha:nters
of Commerce, from toe Benevolent Irish Society, and
from a general meeting of the inhabitants assembled by
the High Sheriff. The first act of the new Governer
appears to have been the carrying into effect the circula-
tion of the English con in the island of Newfi:undland.
The proclamation is dated 18 h October. Four shillings
and four-pence, British coin, are to be considered equi.

tion of Spanish dollars was Ss. per dollar in mom!
of account, 17s. 44. of the nt w coin was to be re•
caved and taken as being equal to one pound of mousy

i.r, Dinagepore l.ocal Battalion, was arraigned upon the under-
