UNEXPECTED RESULT.

AND 2119 _ _ _
• --sow—
SumnityLrooa, JULY I.—The following is a most re-

Imarkable instance of a Suttee which has occurred at
this place, the issue of which will be perused with plea-
'sure by all the lovers of humanity, and excite sentiments
of sympathy for the unfortunate sufferer in the bosoms of
all susceptible of hirman kindness and fellow.feeting.
On the nth ult. intimation was given by the Local
Authorities that the widow of a Brahmin, who died the
preceding evening, had voluntarily expressed a desire
to peribtm Suttee at the funeral pile of her departed
husband; every possible argument was a(!,.:l;lced wiih
a view to dissuade her from thus sacrificing herself, but
without effect; seeing her determined, she was of c.-.lur•,e
ialloWed.to follow the bent or her inclinatioPs, ac-
companied by her relations and the Brahmins 'of her 4
sect, she proceeded to the spot where the pile was
erected on the banks.of the Mahanuddie, .contiguous to
`the town of -SuintrhulpOOr ;-thsconstruction of the pile,
'which:ins composed of bamboos, differs'veiy materially
from those generally used in other partsvf the country ;
the base was 'a tetragon of about seven feet, with walis
as nearly as possible five feet in height, these radnalir
diminished to the top, and assumed a form some,whstt
..phatripal ;in the centre was placed tile wood other
combditible:, on which was laid the dead body, rolded
in a sindon of white cloth steps so as to facilitate the
ascent, were constructed nn the western side; on the.
woman approaching the pH:: (the. wood in which had
previously been set on tire), she appeared without the
slightest agitation, perfectly c:PI and collected, and
evinced wonderful fortitude and resignation, and entirely
free from the influence of intoxicating. drugs. She
.twice walked, unaided, with a firm step round -the
funeral pile, ascended the steps, and threw herself spoil-
tancously into the flames. . solemn pause ensued for
a fear seconds, and every one considei ed her a martyr
'to her rellgiOn, when to the astonishirient and agreeable
surprize the greater number of the by-standers (hut
the evident discomfiture of the subdolous Brahmins),
she eagerly scrambled over the pile; ran and threw het-
self into the river, whence by. the prompt and exemplary
assistance of the European Gentlemen present (Captain
L. of the Madras Establishment, and Mr. BabingtOn;
the Deputy Postmaster); she was instantly rescued, and
conveyed to the Military Hospital, where she now re-
mains severely scorched, but in a favourably way for
recovering. The poor woman is deprived of her caste
in consequence of what has happened, and was it not,
owing to the humane and generous interference ot.the
Political Agent, to whom the circumstance as it took
place was immediately communicated, the unfortunate.
'wretch, not even recognized by. her family and con-
'
tnezions, would be allowed to wander An outcast, without
t
a single friend to pity or protect her.—Calcutta Paper.

.Avecent traveller in St. Domingo computes the po-

Ipulattoes, from their superior knowledge and activity,
form a 'sort of aristocracy, and -fill most or the civil
leffices. They are hated by the negroes ; but are too
F useful to be left unemployed: They are the principal

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS IMPROVEMENT
OP THE. WEST INDIAN NEGROES.
The African Institution have published the following
statement:
Colonial Legislatures, if they had regarded the
abolition as effectual, would aho have been anxious to.
!promote the religious instruction cf their slaves. How
ever adverse or indifferent in general to tl:e cause of
Christianity, they would have desired to take the bene-
fit of its influence, in the restraint 'of polyg4mt and
other practices adverse to the interests of popilra;ion.
But no act of Assembly can be she.' n, which, ha e-
deemed our islands in any degree from the reproach of
their former gross neglect in regard to this sacred duty;
on the contrary, laws have been passed aL,,gravating tbet
sin, by.positire obstructions to the pious purpose of a
master who should desire to reiorm the- morals and
manners of his slaves by the means which Christianity
'affords.. In some of our Colonies at bast, and Jamaica
in pailictilar, laws have been passed, opposing poAtive
prohibition to the only attainable means of religious in-
struction and Worship ; and thoughihe 4601 negative
has been •properly applied; as often mi.such- acts.of 'As-
