ELEVEN SHIPwRECKED SEAMEN SAVED BY 4

the wreck Of the ship Rebecca, on the coast Of
Van Dicmans Land, with the loss Of the cap.
tain, his wifp, and 10 Of the liew. Eleven sea.
men escaped upon desert shore, and were
rescued by dog, after enduring severe priva-
ton. Having no means Of making fire, it
was determined that two parties should start
one to the south and the other to the north
both Of which accordingly set out; but these
proved fruitless After enduring great priva-
tons and suffering for nearly fortnight, they
were surprised at the sudden appearance of a
dog ; fearing that he might run away, they
wrote an account Of their situation and tied It
around his neck. The dog, itappcared belonged
to q gentleman named BURGESS, who, with a
a party, was exploring the country to the south
ward. The moment they heard of the wreck
which was by the return Of the dog they set
out. and came up with the survivors Of the Re
becca on the 23d day after the ships loss The
poor fellows were fast sinking when the ex.
ploring party came up, and through their atten-
ton and kindness their lives were preserved,
On their recovery they set out for Hobart
Town, which they eventually reached in safety.

ISnlA.--Thc population nl India is estimated
600, 1000, Of which about ,wothir,ls are under
the sway Of Great Britain. This population is
very uncquully distributed. Some parts Of the
valley Of the Ganges are as densely l,eopled as
China while other parts Of India have but a
slight population. There are, i'll this country,
ten distinct nations, speaking ten different Ian.
gnagcs with great number Of dialects. In all
these languages and dialects foreign tongues in
termingle as the Sanscrit, Arabic and Per
sian This foreign intermixture is greatest
in the north part Of llindoos.an, where all the
Asiatlc conqlerors Of the country have always
entered.
The most important Of the native languages
is the Htndi. or Hindostanee with its numerous
dialects. l is spoken by about 80, 0O0, 900, ex.
tending south on the western side from the
Slope u The Himaaya mountains. 1t is now
the general language oi Goi4munlcgtlo through
out the whole peninsula, aud contains many
words Of Persian and Arabic origin, having
been longer influenced BY the Mahomedan con
quest than any other. The Bengali, or Benga.
lesc tongue. is spoken by about 3O.o0o,O0O OF
people on iA,. Gauges and Burhampootr rivers.
South Of these native languages, ], thyt Of the
Mahrattas. war.like race, who had conquered
the central parts Of Hindoostan before the ar
rival ofthe English, and have given them much
trouble since.
IN the south, there is the rough language Of
the Teingana. an cnetprising, commercial
race the Tamil. a polished copious, and simple
tongue the kanara, a nation lying among the
Giaut n mountains; and the Malaylayan. These
last mentioned nations number some $4,000, 900
II was once supposed by phiiologists, that the
sanscri, was the original language, and that these
were but dialects, but the writer in the Reriew
now thinks otherwise. and believes all these
languages 70 have been original, and the San.
scrit some conqueror's dialect.

The convalescent man enters on his career OF

whispered assurance of the doctor and the
nurse that the crisis is past But even this
assurance is accompanied by the Injunction to
be extremely careful, Us a relapse is easily

And then, the poor convalescent's digestive or
eans are sadly disarranged, and savorless as
adamant seems the barley and chicken wa,
