CALCUTTA, April 5.-Last Thursday week a
Stttse, or female sacrifice by burning, no less
remarkable on account OF tie hrmness display
ed by the victims, than from some eXtfdnSc cir
cun.tances, took place at Khdii-gdat.
The victims Of superstition, in the present
instance, were the two wives Of NiHOo, phy.
stefan, and inhabitant of Shcrd Ba3or. the first
aged - and the second only IL. By regula-
ton of government, before any sacrifice OF this
atuTe can take place, notice must he given to
the Police, and we are informed that the OFF,
GERS attached to the Police establishment of
the n puTgannalis, with laudable humanity,
employed many eDdeavors to turn the nsguid-
ed women from their fatal determination
Their persuasions, however, being utterly dis.
regaid Cd, 1t was suggested we believe, by Ram
NiOlIun Row, that in the actual mode in which
females are burnt OF the funeral pile ct their
husbands, there had been wide departure
from the method prescribed by the holy books
of the UiudOOs, and that the correction of this
irreguarity in the present instance, might not
only lead to the saving the Immediate victims,
but also OH mauy others on future OccasiOns.--
According TO the usual method, il seems, pre-
Yious to the fire being lighted, the females lay
themselves down beside the corpse, when suciI
a quantity Of wood and other cOmbnstible ma
terials are Immediately heaped upon them, that
If in tie agony inflicted by the flames they
should be DESTROYS Of retracting, il is utterly
beyond their powers 80 TO do. This Is prOba-
bly, mere invention Of the BIaDlius 90 deprive
their victims OF all free agency. but it we are

reefs that fre shall first be applied TO the fuel
Oii ~lliclI the cOrpseIs iald, aud while II is IN

and lay herself down upon IT,
Agreeably 10 this view of the law, we under
stand That it was determined that the wives of
Nii0o should have tie full benefit OF this latter
mode OF sacrifice. The BTamins were prevail
ed on 10 give their consent. II Is with pain,
however, that we are obliged 10 add, that the
hopes entertained from the experiment in re-
spcct tn a change Of determination on tho part
Of the victims, were altogether disappointed
The flames had no sooner BEGAN TO rise, than
the elder female deliberately walked into the
midst Of item. and quickly afterwards the
Younger followed her example, but previously
with great animation addressed herself to the
