At the time of writing our article on Indian Famines last week. such reports as we had seen led us to hope the worst of the distress over. Later news unfortu- nately presents Q much worae case than any that had been anticipated. A Calcut- Ga dispatch to the London Times says, 'sIt is now clear that the famine will rage with increased intensity in Madras and Mysore for at least six months longer. In the Northwest rain is still wanted, and it may be said regarding the greater part of In. dia that the situation is critical and great danger of almost universal famine exists. At public meeting held at Madras, on the 9th inst, the Duke of Buckingham stated that the area affected by the fam inc contained 8 population of eighteen millions, of whom Q large proportion were ] dependent on imported grainifor support.
 Dr. Cornish. Sanitary Commissioner, said that there were I 800 900 people being fed, and over 500. 900 hadsdisd, and it was
