INDIAN EXTRACTS

ASSAM TEA.—The number of chests of Assam tea, about
to be shipped for England this season, is one hundred and
twenty.—Calcutta Courier, June 1.

EAST INDIA CorroN.—We have been gratified by finding
from a file of the Bombay Times, received by the last overland
mail, that public attention is still strongly directed to the im-
provement of the cotton of India. We find the following
passage in a report of the proceedings of the third quarterly
meeting of the Bombay Chamber of Commerce, for 1830-40,
held on the 16th of May last:—
"Read a letter from G. Giberne, Esq. transmitting a bale
of Toomeil cotton, grown by ArdaseerDunjeeshaw Bahadoor,
yin a village near Surat ; requesting that the same should be
reported on, as compared with other cottons received by the
chamber, and put to the test of a public sale ; and stating
that a considerable quantity of cotton of equal quality could
be produced, if likely to be sold at a remunerative price.
Read and approved, after examination of the bale, the fol-
lowing report to be communicated to Mr. Giberne :--` This
cotton is, in the opinion of the members, superior to that re-
ceived from Dr. Burnes from Kaira,. to the samples of Dec-
cannee and Egyptian cotton sent from Rutnagherie, and to
the fine Broach cotton, formerly shipped to England by Mer-
wanjee Hortnusjee : it is, however, inferior to the beautiful
specimens of Conkanee and Sea Island cotton produced at
Rutnagherie, and noticed in page 34 of the printed report of
the chamber for the second quarter of 1839-40. The mem-
bers consider it, on the whole, as about equal to the beautiful
but short stapled New Orleans cotton, grown at Rutnagherie,
referred to in the same page of the report. It would be still
more valuable, were not the staple in some degree artificially
injured, apparently by having been cleaned with the bow.' "
The bale, having been put up to sale, was, after a brisk
competition, knocked down to Messrs. Gibb, Miller, £ Co.,
at rupees 160 ver candy.
It is necess'ry to observe, that " Toomeil cotton" only
means cotton of the first picking, and we presume that the
bale in question was merely the indigenous cotton of India,
cultivated and gathered with more than usual care. If the
price paid for it was, as we presume, only what it was fairly
worth in the market, it must be valuable cotton ; for the price
of the best Broach cotton was only about 115 rupees per
candy. If any considerable quantity of such cotton could be
produced at a moderate price, it would soon diminish our
dependence upon the produce of the United States:

PLEASANT WEATHER AT BOMBAY.—We sometimes think
that Manchester is pretty abundantly sprinkled with rain ;
but what will our readers say to the following account, ex-
tracted from the Bombay Times of June 17 ?—" The weather,
on which for months every year so little requires to be said
in general on this side of India, becomes, at the setting-in of
the monsoon, a subject of the greatest importance. We give
therefore to-day a table since the first fall of rain on the 4th
down to yesterday the IGth, at which date we were in the
midst of very severe rains. From this it appears that within
the last twelve days IS 29 inches of rain have fallen, of which
rably more than one half within the last
Lantity of rain which is here said to have

CHOLERA IN WESTERN INDIA.—We have from time to
time been enabled to lay before our readers the melancholy
list of the sufferers from cholera at Panwell ; at which, it is
understood, the deaths have within these few weeks amounted
to no fewer than GOO. The pestilence seems at length to have
abated at Panwell, where health is reported to be in some
measure restored ; but it has transferred its ravages in fearful
strength to Mahar, on the direct route to the Marbleshuwr

Hills, whence it has, within three weeks past, been sweeping
the population before it. Here 300 persons are said already
to have suffered. Parties returning from the hills, in antici-
pation of the immediate setting-in of the monsoon, have, in
traversing this district, not only experienced inconveniency,
but incurred the extremest danger. On Saturday last, two
gentlemen, belonging to a large party, were seized with cho-
lera, with all the customary symptoms of severest malignancy.
Nothing would induce the hearers to remain within the reach
of infection. They fled, leaving the palanquins and their
passengers behind them. Most providentially, one of the
patients was still able to he removed in a buggy which hap-
pened to be at hand ; and his life, in all probability, was saved

by the conduct and kindness of its owner. Of the fate of the
other patient, no intelligence has reached us. The ladies of
the party were for a time carried forward on bullock garries,
until the bearers were induced to return after the infected
region waa believed to be past, and the passengers were car-
ried forward on such temporary structures as the materials
and workmanship of the time permitted. At Mahar, the
dead were said to he strewed around the precincts of the
habitations of the living, who feared nothing so much as to
approach the men for interment.—Bombay Times, June 3.

not only directed that the insignia of the Order should be
forwarded to him; but that he should be created an extra
Knight Companion of the Order; and that his creation and
investiture should not wait for a succession to a regular va-
cancy therein. The Marluis of Wellington was accordingly
authorised to invest him, or to appoint any other person so
to do. in October 1835 (says Sir Harris Nicolas), the Order
and the country lost one of its brightest ornaments, by the
death of Lord Nelson, at Trafalgar, and, it is remarkable,
that the greatest military should have succeeded the greatest
naval commander of the age in the constituent number of
companions.

one of ten horse power; but neither it nor the boat are very
well adapted to the experiment; nor are they suited to each
other ; but they will serve to give a fair trial on a full work-

made suited to each other. The space of the boat occupied
by this trial will be somewhere about twenty feet, but with

It would appear, that " on the arrival of the Archduke
Charles in that town there was a general illumination ordered,
which attracted many peasants from the neighbouring vil-
lages ; amongst others was a fine young woman, who wore a
handkerchief round her head. She was accosted by a Jew,
who pulled off the handkerchief and ran away with it. She
followed him, whom she considered a thief, to the Jews'
quarter, where she suddenly found herself surrounded by a
number of Jews, and from that time she was not heard of for
some weeks, nor indeed until she appeared before the com-
missary of police to make a complaint, which had been trans-
mitted to the superior court at Lemberg."
" This is the young woman's account. She has identified
the Jewish surgeon who bled her, and the young woman who
examined her person, and the cicatrice where she was bled
is visible. The criminal court has not yet decided on the
case. The young woman has no witnesses, and the accused
declare that the charge is false."
We have before us the details of a somewhat similar oc-
currence at Iwaniska, in the palatinate of Sandemir, in
Poland, some years since, and transmitted to us with the
foregoing, in which, however, the alleged victim was a Chris-
tian boy, three years old, and who had been murdered. The
narrator, however, states a circumstance irreconcilable with
the story given in the Leipsic Gazette, namely, that the par-
ties guilty of or accessory to the murder required that the
victim should be of the male sex. _ _

She states, that " when she was surrounded by the Jews,
she was dragged into a house, and thence into the cellar,
where she was bathed in a vat. A Jewish surgeon then came,
and having carefully examined her person, he bled her in the
arm, and preserved the blood in a vase. This operation was
repeated on several days. The young woman, having ob-
served that she was carefully examined by a female to see
whether she had any wound, or stain, or blemish on her
person, before the surgeon bled her, determined to cause
one, which she did by rubbing her knee against the bathing
tub in which they placed her. The next time the surgeon
carne he saw the wound, and declared (according to the
Jewish phraseology) that she was unclean, and on the same
night she was carried to, and left n, the churchyerd; where
she was found the following day. —Times.

REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF LONGEVITT.--A corre-
spondent informs us, that there is at present residing on the
townland of Donorci, county Kildare, a woman who is ascer-
tained to be 144 years of age ! At her marriage, her husband
took a farm of 30 acres of land, leased at 31 years, on the ex-
piration of which it was again renewed. The family has re-
mained in the possession of the farm, which is occupied at
present by the grandchildren with shorn she lives, and the
fourth lease of thirty-one years expired on the 25th of March
and the woman herself told me, that she was not Tess than
twenty years of ar, when she married."—Drogheda Argus.

MODERN BURIAL-PLACES.—The John Bull, who has al-
ways some good to say about modern inventions, observes—
" The prettiest gardens now-a-days are the cemeteries. The
French taste has overrun English decency, and the frippery
and folly have invaded localities iu which, to a thinking Chris-
tian, they are odious, desecrating, and disgusting. The very
idea of joint-stock cemeteries' (putting aside the absurdity
of the decorations') is repulsive and abominable ; and to
see these fantastical Golgothas advertised in the newspapers
—` graves, so much ;" vaults, so much ;' with a beautiful
and extensive prospect of the surrounding country;' omni-
buses every half-hour from the bank, sixpence inside;' why,
it is enough to make one's blood run cold with horror."

Hors:—We have not for a series of years past seen the
hop plantations in so wretched a condition as at this moment.
Even in the best grounds the show of hop is inconsiderable,
and at the same time extremely partial. Many grounds will
not produce a single pound's weight, and several plantations
that last year brought a fair average crop, are to be cut down
immediately the corn harvest is over. The picture our once
luxuriant hop fields presented, is this year a desolate wilder-
ness. The duty is backed at very little over £40,000.
Throughout East Kent the late sunny days has benefitted
the healthy hops, and completely dried up the plants which
were looking sickly. The duty will be very low for this dis-
-Kentish Gazette.

AFFECTING STORY.—A recent letter from Omek, in Si-
beria, relates the following affecting tale :—A young woman,
only 20, of striking beauty, and one of the most distinguished
females in St. Petersburg, was condemned, three years ago,
to labour in the mines for the rest of her life, for having, in
a paroxysm of jealousy, killed her husband. Her youth and
mildness of character induced the governor, instead of sending
her down into the mines, to appoint her one of the superin-
tendents of the hospital at Omek. Induced by the great pro-
priety of her conduct, the governor petitioned, some time ago,
for and obtained her pardon. On this being communicated
to her, she was overcome with gloom, and, in a few days after,
was discovered in her room lifeless, having opened her veins
by means of a large nail. She left the following written on
a card :—" Death for death! Human justice pardons me,
but divine justice never can. God calls me to him whom I
loved, whom I murdered, but whom I still love. Adieu!
Pardon me ! Pray for me ! pray for me !"—French paper.
RAILWAY ACROSS THE DUDDON, &C.—We continue to
receive the most cheering accounts relating to the opening
out of a line of communication from Fleetwood to Peel, and
across the
,Duddon into West Cumberland. The projects
meets with the decided approbation of many influential
parties, and we feel very confident will quickly be carried out
with spirit and success. There was a meeting at Fleetwood
on Monday, at which Sir Hesketh Fleetwood, the directors
of the Preston and Wyre Railway, the directors of the North
Union Railway, several capitalists from London, and some
gentlemen connected with the committee of the proposed
Furness and West Cumberland Railway, were present ; and
at which the project of embanking the Duddon, and carrying
a railway to Whitehaven,-underwent a lengthened discussion,
and was most warmly approved by all present. The tide of
opinion, we are told, is completely with us ; and that, if we
now fail in getting a railway southward, the fault will be
mainly our own.— Whitenaven Herald.
EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—Last week Dr: Ha-
milton, of this city, extracted a large needle from the side of
a man about 45 years of age. The patient from whom it was
taken, on applying to the doctor, stated that he had some
time previously received a severe fall, and from the pain he
suffered, lie conceived that one of his ribs had been broken.
The doctor, on examining the part, found it much swelled,
and to the touch it appeared as if a portion of the lower rib
had been fractured. The sufferer anxiously entreated him to
open it, but the doctor, fearing that such an operation might
be attended with danger, refused -to comply. He had re-
course, however, to poulticing and other treatment, and in
four days after, on examining it carefully, lie discovered the
point of a needle protruding, and succeeded in extricating it
without subjecting the patient to any violent pain. 'The
needle does not appear much worn, but is greatly disco-
loured, being quite black—it is very smooth, and sharp at
the point, and is supposed to have been swallowed, probably
in food, four or five years ago. the man, on its removal,
.felt at once relieved, and is now perfectly recovered. He
had been complaining for eleven weeks before it was extract-
ed, and latterly was scarcely able to move.—Derry Sentinel.
THE BRITANNIA, SUPPOSED TO HAVE FOUNDERED AT
SEA.—We are happy to inform our readers that some trace
has at length been obtained of the ill-fated Britannia ; and
though little hope can he entertained that any of the sufferers
survive, it must be satisfactory to the relatives to know that
every possible means has been used to ascertain their fate.
We are indebted to the polite attention of Capt. Lewis, the
harbour-master, for the following particulars. Captain L.
says—" The master of the Curlew, just arrived from Sydney,
informs me that he fell in with the revenue cutter Prince
George, Capt. Moore, at Twofold Bay, which vessel had
been despatched by the Sydney government in quest of the
Britannia, in consequence of some of the aborigines having
reported at Twofold Bay that they had seen a boat stranded
on the Long or Ninety-mile Beach, and had observed the
print of white men's feet in the sand. The cutter repaired
to the spot. described by the natives, where Captain Moore
found a boat washed up on the beach, with the name " Sarah
of Sydney," painted on the stern; and the master's name
M`Pherson, on the inside. This boat Mr. Stafford, the
boarding officer at William's Town, identifies as having been
sold to the Britannia shortly before she left on her ill-starred
voyage." Since the above was in type, we have seen
Captain Watson, of the Curlew, who has informed us of the
following additional particulars :—The boat when found by
Captain Moore, had a mast in it ; it seems probable, there.
fore, that the brig had foundered at sea. and that the passen-
gers and crew had taken refuge in the boat, but whether they
reached the shore in safety, or swamped at sea, it is impossi-
ble to decide. The natives assured Captain Moore that they
had seen the print of shoes in the sand, and one of them
showed Captain Moore part of a black silk handkerchief he
had found in the boat. The revenue cutter conies on to Port
Philip coasting in search of the wreck.—Port Philip Herald.

The irnpoiiri of Grain, Flour; and Oatmeal from Ireland, Coast-
ways, Canada, and from Wreign ports, have again been to a very
trivial extent since Tuesday last, in some degree owing to the
easterly winds which have prevailed ; and during the whole of the
past week the weather has continued, like the one preceding,
uninterruptedly fine—free from rain, with genial summer heat
and sunshine, forcing the crops of Grain rapidly into maturity;
reports, however, continue to confirm the generally adopted
opinion that the crops of Hay and of Wheat, with a few partial ex.
ceptions, will prove but light in quantity, except in the southern
districts of England, in which Harvest is now reported to be in
full progress ; it has commenced very partially around us, but is
not expected to he general before the end of this month.
We have, in consequence of the very favourable weather, expe-
rienced complete stagnation in this, and in all the country Corn
markets of the past week, the millers and dealers having continued
unwilling to increase the small stocks, arid transactions altogether
have been so trivial that we cannot quote prices very correctly ;
we believe purchases might have been made at about the following
decline, 3d to 6d per 70 lb. on Wheat, Is tid to as per barrel on
Flour, Id per 431 b. on Oats, Is per 2101 b. on Oatmeal, and Is per
quarter on all other Grain.
The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports was decreased.on Friday
last one step, say to 13s fid per quarter, and to Os lid per harrel on
Flour, and on Peas to 2s per quarter, no alteration on any other
Grain ; on Friday next the duty on Wheat will be further reduced
to lOs 8d per quarter and 6s ad per barrel; and on Friday the 21st
instant, it is anticipated that it will be further reduced to 6s 8d per
quarter, and to 4s per barrel; some few speculative purchases of
both articles in bond have recently been made at about our last
quotations. _ _ _ _

Our supplies of Wheat Coastviays, from London, and from
Foreign ports, have been a little increased by a change of wind
yesterday, and there has been a little rain during the past night,
which must have been very beneficial. At this day's market the
languor above quoted prevailed, and sales only to a very trivial
extent were effected of every article in the trade, at the above
mentioned decline.
