Bombay papers to the 21st July have been received,

The Bombay Gazette of the 15th July contains the following account of an occurrence at Delhi:-" As the period for the trial of the Nuwaub of Feerozepore for the murder of Mr. Fraser was approaching, a large body of the Nuwaub's friends, made a descent on Delhi, broke open the prison, and liberated the Nuwaub. Not content with effecting this object, the insurgents, joined by a number of the inhabitants of Delhi, who were in their interest, commenced a general attack on the European inhabitants at Delhi, and more particularly against Mr. Colvin, who was lately sent there to try the Nuwaub for the murder of Mr. Fraser. It is re ported that Mr. Colvin and several other civilians were killed, and that the city of

Delhi remained, at the time the dispatches left, in the possession of the Nuwaub's friends, who threatened to destroy every British subject within the bounds."

willd

As neither the Delhi Gazette of the Ist July, nor the Meerut Observer of the 2d, makes any mention of this affair, it may be concluded that the account is false, difa

In the Joudpore affair five persons have been hanged, but whether they were really guilty of the murder, or were in any way concerned in it, seems to be questioned. The government have directed that all the persons concerned in the murder of Mr. Blake shall suffer the last punishment of the law.

A letter from Poonah, dated 18th Julyp says A most melancholy event occurs rud here this morning. A meeting took place between Dr. Mulcolinson and Capte

Urquhart, which has proved fatal to the latter, who expired soon after receiving his antagonist's fire. Dr. Malcolmson was wounded at the same time, but slightly. I have not yet been able to learn the cause of the misunderstanding between them."

The Delhi Gazette of July 1st states, that the rain has been unusually heavy this season at Delhi and its neighbourhood, and that the Meerut cantonment has been completely flooded, and much damage has been done to both public and private property.

A notification in the Financial Depart. ment, Calcutta, dated 17th June, states that,-in pursuance of the advertisement of the Court of Directors, dated 17th September 1834, to proprietors of Bengal 6 per Cent. Remittable Paper, resident in Europe, desiring to transfer their notes into the New 5 per Cent. Transfer Loan, to be held in the form of stock,-notes dated 30th June 1822, are receivable into the treasury for transfers in return for stock receipts. A premium of 5 per cent, is granted on all such transfers; and the stock receipt will bear interest at 5 per cent., payable, if the proprietors are resi dent in India, in cash at the place of registry, and, if resident in Europe, at their option, either in cash in India, or by bills on the Court at twelve months' date at 2s. Id. sa. rupee, The property of the new loan is to be transferable only in books to be kept in Bengal, at Madras, at Bombay, and in London, and not by en dorsement of stock receipts. Proprietors of stock receipts will be entitled to the option of transferring from the books of Bengal to those of either Madras, Bombay, or London. Having availed theme selves of that option, the property cannot again be registered in Bengal or at either of the other places, unless upon transfer effected at the place at which they may have chosen, to register it. After transfer to London, the interest payable on the stock so transferred will be paid in England at the same periods as when the bills would have become due, had the remittance of interest been previously received by bills. No part of the loan is to be paid off before the 22d April, 1854, and a previous notice of fifteen months. Payment shall then be made at the option of the creditors, either in cash in India, or by bills upon the court at twelve months' date, and 28. 1d, the sicca rupee. Proprietors, who shall transfer to the books of Madras and Bombay, will be entitled to receive interest at the exchange of 106 Madras or Bombay rupees, for 100 Calcutta sicca: rupees. Stock may be consolidated and divided at the pleasure of the proprietors. Proprietors of the 5 per Cent. Transfer notes issued under the advertisement of the 13th of October last, or their authorized agents, will be permitted to transfer their property

into the Book Debt Loan, within four months. Proprietors, resident in Europe, of 6 per Cent. Remittable Paper, or of 5 per Cent. Transfer Notes, authorized to be received in transfer to the Book Debt Loan, whose instructions to their agents make no provision for that event, will be allowed a conditional transfer into the Book Debt Loan. In respect to 6 per Cent. Notes, it will be optional with the proprietors to confirm the transfer or to receive payment according to the notices, dated the 9th of May and 18th of October 1834; provided that no notice disallowing a transfer will be accepted as valid after fifteen months from this date. The same period is granted to absentee proprietors of 5 per Cent. Transfer Notes for disallowing the act of their agents in transferring such notes to the Book Debt Loan.

Accounts from the Cape to 12th September state, that there was little chance of tranquillizing the insurgents on the eastern frontier, for whenever a favourable opportunity occurred they advanced upon the colonists, regardless of the treaties en tered into only a few days previously. Numerous depredations had been committed by the Caffres near the Kei River, and a considerable quantity of cattle carried off by them. Letters have been received from Dr. Smith, the conductor of the exploring party into Central Africa, dated June 10, from Matsellicatzie's Kraal, lat. 25° 24', long. 27° 47', giving very satis. factory accounts of their progress.

The Odessa Journal reports that Mehemet Ali's troops in Arabia have suffered a severe defeat; The rout was so decisive that Ibraham Pasha (Mehemet's nephew) and the Sheriff of Mecca could hardly save themselves; and it was only by a precipitate flight that they escaped being taken prisoners by the Arabs. After this battle, in which the Egyptians were cut to pieces, the Arabs made themselves masters of a fort on the frontiers of Yemen, which served as the chief magazine for the ammunition and provisions of Meliemet Ali's army. This catastrophe has caused the greatest disorder among the Egyptian troops; they refused to march any further, and desertion was daily increasing. The loss of the Egyptians in Arabia (Hedjaz) was 11,000 men-the whole army consisted of 16,000. The 5,000 who have succeeded in saving themselves by flight have already reached the Egyptian territory,”

Mehemet Ali has prohibited the exportation of Egyptian antiquities. It is said that a museum is to be formed at Cairo, and placed under the care of one of the young Arabs, who are now prosecuting their studies in Paris. The government therefore not only prohibits the exportation of antiquities, but purposes to pur chase all that are in the possession of private persons,

Accounts have been received from Syria to the 30th of September. It seems that the Druses, betrayed by one of their chiefs (and it is believed by Emir Bescher himself) had been surprised by the Egyptian troops in the village of Del Kamar, and dispersed. Ibrahim Pasha, with 12,000 men, who had been gradually assembled, had advanced to Mount Lebanon, and made prisoners the greater part of the

principal inhabitants in the mountain. The Druses, being without a leader, suffered themselves to be disarmed without resistance. The greater part of Lebanon was already subdued, and, as Ibrahim advanced, he continued to receive fresh reinforcements.

Singapore papers to the 4th July have been received at the moment of publication, bat they contain nothing worth extracting.

SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COLONY.

H.M. ship Buffalo is ordered for sea, and will be placed under the command of Capt. John Hindmarsh, governor of the new colony of South Australia, for the purpose of conveying himself and staff to the seat of his future government. The conditions of the Act of Parliament respecting the preliminary sale of land to the amount of £35,000, and the raising of a loan, from which £20,000 are to be deposited in Exchequer bills, as a security that the colony shall not be chargeable to the mother country, have been complied with, and the governor and survey party will sail early in December. The main body of emigrants will not follow till about February next, by which time, it is supposed, the survey will be completed, and the site of the capital town decided upon.

The Colonization Commission for South Australia have been in the market as bor. rowers within these few days. By the Act under which the new district has been erected into a colony, these commissioners are authorized to raise £200,000 by the issue of Colonial-revenue Bonds, to defray the expenses of the colony until its own revenue is sufficient for that purpose; the sum raised to be charged, first, on the future produce of the revenue, and, in the event of its insufficiency, on the unsold land. A deposit of £20,000 is also required to be placed in the hands of trustees appointed by the Crown, as a security that the colony may not become a charge upon the public purse. The sum raised, in the first instance, by the commissioners is only £30,000, which they have borrowed at par at 10 per cent. interest, with a condition of repayment at the end of ten years. The parties who have advanced the money are to have the preference in any future sums that may be wanted, to an extent in the whole not exceeding £100,000. One of the conditions prescribed in the Act of Parliament to the commissioners is, that they shall not pay a higher rate on the

money borrowed than 10 per cent. interest, and it is thought extraordinary that they should have gone, in this bargain, to the full extent permitted, as the security is presumed to be a good one, and the money might therefore, with proper exertions, have been obtained at a much lower rate, They owe some explanation on this subject, if not to the public, to the parties embarked with them in this undertaking. Extravagant premiums were offered in the city for the bonds to be issued as soon as the terms were known.-Times, Nov. 19.

This view of the importance of an improved Sanscrit version is strengthened by the opinion expressed in another valuable report on the same subject, which the committee have received from one of their own body, Richard Clarke, Esq., formerly of Madras; and both these gen

One of the first objects of inquiry was, the state of the existing Oriental versions of the scriptures; especially in those languages which are spoken in the British dominions in India. On this subject, the committee have had the advantage of being assisted in their inquiry by H. H. Wilson, Esq., professor of Sanscrit in the university of Oxford; who favoured them with a very valuable report the translations of the holy scriptures, accomplished or contemplated in Bengal.

Professor Wilson enumerates thirtyseven versions of the whole, or of portions, of the bible, which have been accomplished; and fifteen which are in pro

The committee have, therefore, entered into communication with the Bishop of Calcutta, and with the principal of Bishop's College; and have authorized them to take such measures as they may deem proper for effecting a new version of the Holy Scriptures into Sanserit, on the principles recommended in the above report. The Sanscrit glossary of theclogical terms, already published by Principal Mill, will afford great facilities for its accomplishment. Rede von

"At the head of the Bengal versions he places the Sanscrit. When the present version was undertaken, the language had been but little studied, and no standard compositions in it had been printed; the translation is, therefore, necessarily defective in point of style; and, though generally faithful, it is stated to be such as no native scholar could read with pleasure. And Professor Wilson considers it very @desirable that a new Sanscrit version should be undertaken; not only on acreount of the extensive circulation which Imight be expected, in consequence of its -being intelligible to Sanscrit scholars from one end of India to the other, but because it might be made a common standard to all the vernacular dialects of the country for abstract and doctrinal terms.

the south. These are considered by the professor to be quite sufficient for those Indian fields, in which the labours of Christian zeal are the most likely to be attended with success. Some of these versions will probably require but little improvement to make them suitable for the purposes of the society. The old Tamul translation has been several times revised by the Society's missionaries, and printed at the mission-press at Vepery.

"With respect to Oriental versions of the liturgy, the committee have entered into communication with the Bishop of Calcutta, respecting the plan which was formed by Bishop Turner for translating the liturgy into the languages of India, and have empowered his lordship, in conjunction with the principal of Bishop's College, to proceed with such translations as they may deem requisite, on the principles laid down in Professor Wilson's report, without waiting for further communications from England.ada evad of
