EAST INDIES.  CALCUTTA. Aram 6.  We regret to learn that the ship Hope, Captain G. Moree, was totally lost on Fisherman's Flat, at 3, a. nt. yesterday. No lives were lost.  We heard the particulars of the murder of a Kumar At lih seaWiner. Lakshmikanta, Kirmakar, sad Pitambar Roy, a liajpet, were on intimate terms with the wife of one Haladhar Kirmakar, of Bhavanipur. in the vicinity of Calcutta. In the month of Magha last, they, with her advice, invited her husband to partake of a repast with them in the dwelling of Kasinath Roy. of the same place, where they entertained him with meat and wine in the night. and having thus intoxicated him, strangled him with a rope. They then threw his corpse into a well there, and covering it with filth. retired to their respective lodgings. Four or five days after this, those murderers, discontinuing their visits to their mistress, she called upon them, and using various arguments to encourage them, made them consent to an interview with her in the evening, but they absconded the same day. She afterwards diligently sought after them, but in vain; when she, finding they forsook her, to whose friendship she sacrificed her husband, reported to the Daroga of the place, that her husband was murdered by Lakshmikanta, Kirmakar, and Pitambar Roy, and showed him his corpse in the well. The Daroga then instituted a particular inquiry after the murderers whom he apprehended with great difficulty, and. with the woman, sent them to the Magistrate. We understand that they are well secured in prison, but their trial has not come on.  Arau. 22.—A letter from the Mymensing District, of a late date, mentions a providential escape which a gentleman had while out hunting. The first day he killed two tigers, one of which bad previously destroyed a native. Neit day, while going up the bank of an old tank, a tiger sprang out from among the rubbish and vegetation. and fastened on his elephant, dragging the animal so much down to one side, that the gentleman fell out of the howdah upon his back, when the tiger and himself rolled down the bank together! The rest of the party thought, of course, that their companion's doom was sealed, but, to their great satisfecdon, they saw the tiger making off as fast as be could, while the gentleman got up, having providentially escaped with a few scratches only. Accounts from Benares of the 11th instant state that the Hon. Company's steamer Haighly could not be gat higher up the Ganges than a plan called Kutchwa. about 15 miles below Minapore and about 10 front Allababad. Her further progress was stopped by a shoal, or sand reef, extending completely 'ens' the channel between the Ketchwa and Badollee banks—the greatest depth of water across which was 2 feet 6 inehes—the vessel at the time drawing 4 feet 1 inch forward. and 3.5 aft, having only 100 maunds of coal on board, and all the passengers and baggage, and freight, having been landed. Even had the steamer been able to overcome this difficulty, greater 'still, it was believed, were to be got over before she could reach Allahabad. and, bad she ever succeeded in getting there, it was supposed the could not be got back before the setting in of the nins. Under these circumstances it was deemed the most advisable plan to return to &flares, and there wait further instructions.  MURDER of Lieutenants BEDINGFIELD and
