TEMPLE OF JUGGERNAnr

The European correspondent Of th,
National Intelligencer, procIaims the as
founding fact, that the London East In
die Company contribute $4,000 snnu
ally to the support Of this sanguinary
temple.
The Baptist Missionary Society were
making strenuous exertiOus for the pur-
pose Of inducing the company 10 abro.
gate the payment of this large and an.
nual donation. Their memorial 10 the
company of which the following is an
extract, will give our readers a pretty
correct idea of the reprehensible policy
Of the East India Company, in relation to
this affair.
The society your memorialists repre- .
sent employ several missionaries in Or.
issa and neighbOring districts more i'm.
mediately connected with the principal
Temple Of Juggernaut.
The missionaries OF this society, while
pursning their benevolent IabOrs, have
frequently Witnessed the most appalling
scenes Of misery and death, occasioned
by the worship Of that idol. They have
seen dead or dying pilgrims scattered for
miles on the main road to the idols TEN.

occasionally counted from 40 TO l4O
corpses, and even more, lying together
in small space Ofground, the corpses
Ofpilgrims that had died, exhausted by
fatigue or diseases, the eject of their
pilgrimage.
The worship Of this idol is impure and
abomlndble to degree which yCu, me-
morialsts dare not to describe.
Your memorialists beg humbIy to ex.
press their great satisfaction in the re-
peal Of the pilgrim taxes at Juggernau
Gya,Allahabad, but they most deeply re-
gret the continuance Of the government
donation 10 Juggernaut's Temple. A
recent letter states: A grand delusion has
been practice1 upon the Christian world
in reference TO the abolition of the tax
The support o.the Government awarded
TO the idol having been drawn from the
collection of the tax, it was understood
that when il was abolished that support
would cease. But while the fax has
been abolished, the sum Of 35.OGG ru.
