Island Government) by Monsr. Richard, Superintendent of the Botanical Garden, on Robert le Diable, the other brought from the Cape of Good Hope, by Capt. Charlton of the Bengal Service, on the Se

sostris.

The committee are of opinion, that a most decided difference exists between the samples before them.

The Bourbon insect is clothed with a coat of powdery substance, is perfect in form, and large, having only a slight appearance of filament about the tail, which rubs to powder between the fingers.

The Cape insect is completely enveloped in down, and has none of the mealy deposit about it, which so strongly marks the character of the other.

As far as your Committee can decide, the insects before them are as distinct as the grana fini of commerce is described to be different from the grana sylvestra.

The Committee beg to annex an extract of a letter from Monsr. Richard to Dr. Wallich, dated St. Dennis, Isle of Bourbon, 29th November, 1837.

"Je suis bien impatient d'aroir des nouvelles de nos voyageuses cochenilles. S'il en arrive de vivantes á

Calcutta, comme je le pense, elles seront peut été cou vertes deduret, parcequelles auront été enfermées et pour ainsi dire, privées d'air; mais ceci ne doit pas vous faire prejuger de leur mauvaise qualité car quand elles sont sur des Nopals, au grandair, elles deviennent presque nues lorsquélles son tá leur grousseur."

This extract, your Committee consider fully borne out by the present appearance of the insect, and, although they do not feel competent to say with certainty, that the larger insect is the grana fina, (none of your committee having seen the insect alive) they have observed enough to convince them that it appears far superior to what is described, by the best authors, as the grana sylvestra.

The Committee request that the cochineal be left in
the hands of Mr. Bell, for further experiment.

want of co-operation on the part of the Indigo planters, who, of all others, the natives excepted, were the most interested in the society's proceedings. He complained of the absence of these gentlemen, to whom he had not alluded on the last occasion, an omission on his part, to which cause alone he hoped he might justly attribute their indifference. However, he now entreated them to add to the number of the society, and expressed a lively

chants. It was a subject of much regret that so few natives had joined the society. They were the parties most interested in its success, and though their feelings would not permit them to attend the commemoration of the society's anniversary, it was expected they would join and aid the monthly meetings by their subscriptions and influence. He noticed the extension of Auxiliary Societies: last year there were six, at present there were twelve in various parts of India. He noticed the Society's Transactions, alluding particularly to the very valuable papers of Dr. McClelland and Dr. Griffiths. But he would not trouble the party longer with "parish affairs," which was indeed unnecessary, as the whole would be stated in detail by the excellent secretary. In conclusion, the chairman gave Prosperity to the Agricultural and Horticultural Societies of India.

About sixty gentlemen attended the Dinner at the Town Hall on Monday evening, Sir Edward Ryan in in the chair. The chairman immediately after the cloth had been removed proposed (the first public opportunity he had had of doing so) the national toast. He did so with the greatest delight- The Queen, and God bless her! The party responded to the chairman's enthusiasm, and the cheers were loud and long continued. The toasts followed in quick succession. The chair-hope that they would imitate the example of the mer man again rose, and in proposing the health of the GoverGeneral congratulated the society that in the successor of Lord William Bentinck, of whose services was not necessary to remind them, they had found another great patron of the institution. Sir Edward prefaced the next toast with what he pleasantly termed a little parish business." He noticed the state of the society's finances, and the successes which have attended their efforts to bring forth the resources of the country. As to the finances, he had good grounds for saying they were in a flourishing condition, exhibiting a large increase on the current year, arising from the rapid augmentation of the number of members. But if their receipts had increased, so also had their disbursements, for the society did not hoard money. He noticed two large items in the latter, occasioned by the publication of the third and fourth volumes of the Transactions, and the reprint of the first The next toast was proposed by Dr. Wallich, the vice volume, strongly recommending these to notice. As to president. He recurred to his early associates, and the number of members, he remembered, he said, some- feelingly exclaimed "what would Dr. Carey have said thing on the last occasion with regard to the littte encou- had he seen our prosperity, and the improvements our ragement the society had at that time received from the influence has produced?" He entreated the meeting to commercial community of Calcutta. On that occa-join in drinking, in solemn silence, the memory of that sion his friend opposite (Mr. A. Colvin) had taken to great and good man. himself the observation, and glad he was to say, if they Mr. Cracroft proposed the health of Sir Edward Ryan, conveyed any reproach, his friend had since done his to whose exertions the society are not a little indebted best, and the mercantile community had entirely freed for their present flourishing condition. The toast was themselves of censure. In 1836 there were two mer-drank with much applause. Sir Edward returned chants only on the list; in 1838 there are thirty-two. The civilians had ever shown a warm interest in the society. He had thought it his duty to express this opinion on a former occasion ; but if, up to that time, they had done well, they had since done better. In 1836 there were eleven members civilians ; in 1837 the number increased to forty-seven. This was matter for congratulation; nevertheless there was another side of the picture, which

We regret much we are not in possession of the correspondence between Major Sleeman, and the society on the subject of the Mauritius sugar cane, which, we understand, in consequence of the perseverance of that gallant officer, now shoots up luxuriant on the banks of the Nerbudda. Major Sleeman's opinions have been

The "Agricultural Association of the United foreign to the objects of the society. To Major Sleeman States" brought forward Dr. Huffnagle, who made some is awarded the society's gold medal. To Mr. Bell, the very pithy allusion to the entwining of the young hickory silver medal for his cultivation of guinea grass, and to twig with the shamrock, the rose and the thistle; also Lieutenant H. Vetch a gold medal for his preparation to the friendly co-operation of the cultivators of New of caoutchouc. Hampshire and of those of the valleys of the Mississipi Sir J. P. Grant repeatedly addressed the meeting, and Mr. S. Smith returned thanks for The Gentleman of the Press." But the greatest interest was excited by Dr. Egerton's announcement of Lord Auckland's answer to the Steam Meeting memorial. It was afterwards read from the chair, and received the hearty cheers of every one present.-Englishman, Jan. 31.

In conclusion the chairman noticed the report of the Committee on Australian Cattle, and a communication from the Royal Asiatic Society requesting information (as we understood,) regarding the white bullock of Assam.

There were numerous other speeches and toasts during

ASIATIC SOCIETY.

At the monthly meeting of this society, on Wednesday evening, there were present: D. Hare, E-q., in the chair; Colonel Caulfield, Captain Sanders, Dr. McClelland, Dr. Evans, Messrs. Jas. Prinsep, Cracroft, Dobbs, Stocqueler, G. A. Prinsep, Bignell and Kittoe.

Major Sleeman, Mr. J., W. Grant, Mr. G. A. Prinsep, Asst. Surgeon Arnott, and Dr. Bonsol were severally ballotted for and elected members.

Mr. C. Fraser and Mr. M. Ommaney were proposed as members, and Monsieur Jaubert, the distinguished French littérateur, as an honorary member.

The proceedings of the previous meeting having been read, the secretary called the attention of the meeting to several new works that had been presented to the Society. Among others, were the Sankya Karitta-a translation from the Sanscrit, begun by Mr. Colebroke and concluded by Professor Horace Wilson:-Elemens de la Langue Georgienne, (from the Asiatic Society of Paris,) Captain Boileau's Narrative, the Report of the Com mittee for investigating the Coal and Mineral resources of India, &c.

A letter was read from Professor Wilson, suggesting that Chantry's proposal to furnish a copy of the bust of

Mr. Colebrooke (now in the E. I. House) be accepted. It appears that the work will only cost £60. Mr. Jas. Prinsep suggested that a private subscription be raised for the purpose of engaging Chantry to perform the task. Capt. Sanders seconded the proposition, which was carried.

Among the numerous letters (of small importance) read to the meeting, was one from the Court of Directors, ordering forty copies of the Journal of the Asiatic Society from the commencement onwards. The secretary stated, that the early numbers were all out of print. Some conversation ensued as to the practicability of reprinting the whole work, but nothing was decided.

The secretary intimated that Government had granted 1,500 rupees for the printing a vocabulary in the Cochia Chinese and English languages.

The receipt of numerous stuffed birds from Capt. Pemberton (obtained during the march to Bootan) was an nounced. Numerous copies of inscriptions derived from temples, pillars, stones, &c. were laid before the meeting, together with some spears and arrows from Cuttack and the Goomsoor country.

The meeting broke up at an early hour. — Eng. Feb. 9.

NATIVE INFANT SCHOOL.

Lord Bishop, they said what colour the flowers were as also their leaves. They did all this in English, which few children of their age could do in their own language; great credit is therefore due to Mr. Perkins and his assistants for the improvement they have made. They repeated the Bengalli alphabet, and the tables of weight and money current in this country. They sang a number of little infantile songs, and their performance was exceedingly well considering their age, and the time they have been in the institution, which is only a little better than a year old.

The examination of the children belonging to the Native Infant School, which took place at the Town hall yesterday, seemed to have excited greater interest this year, than the last. The attendance of ladies and gentlemen was decidedly a more respectable one, but very few of the friends and relatives of the pupils, if we could so call them, were seen amongst the audience, perhaps owing to the hour being a little early for Hindoos in general. The number of boys appeared to have been much increased during the past year, and their improvement, indeed exceeded our expectations, in a great measure. Although there was not one amongst The Lord Bishop spoke highly of the regularity of them, who was more than six years old, yet the answers their movements and their correct pronunciation of Eng. they returned to questions put to them, seemed to as-lish, and touching upon the advantages likely to result tonish the whole audience.

CAWNPOOR RELIEF SOCIETY.

The Committee of the Cawnpoor Relief Society have nate alms-giving is often, nay seldom otherwise than much pleasure in submitting to the subscribers, and baneful, and but a very equivocal evidence of benevo the public in general, the report for the past year, pre- lence; that alone is entitled to the dignified name of senting as it does, so favorable an account of the socie- charity which first assures itself of the existence of disty's funds, and such decided testimony to the efficiency tress, and then relieves it ;- examples as numerous as of its operations. They feel grateful that their call for revolting could be adduced to support the above asserconfidence has been so liberally responded to, and that tion, if support it need; but, perhaps it may be enough thereby they have been enabled to release many from to testify, that the most abandoned and worthless have suffering, and from the horrors of starvation. This ex-practised with much success on the liberality of the hibition of confidence has not only placed their succes- Christian public. sors in a position to relieve, but has also encouraged them. At the close of the year 1836; the balance in favour of to the work; and the state of the country, from the failure of both the khurreef and rubbee crops is such, that both funds and encouragement are amply needed. The money now available, even under the most economical and judicious application, will scarcely meet three months' demand: the committee therefore entreat a continuance of that reliance which they have hitherto experienced.

the society was Rs. 6,674.9.3; at the close of the past
year amounted to Rs. 5,625-8-9 exclusive of dependen-
cies not then realized. The statement below exhibits

To the all-wise God alone, who doth not willingly afflict the children of men, is known the extent to which the present distress will range; appearances indicate a lengthened duration, and unless Christian philanthropy In hand on the 1st January, 1837....... 6,674 9 3 exert its genial influence, the sufferings of the past will not bear contrast with those of the future, the contemplation of which is sufficient to unnerve the sternest mind. The present is not the time to argue the question whether the establishment of relief societies be desirable or not, (the gratuitous support of the halt, the blind, the decrepid, and the detection of the worthless vagrant, intuitively recommends itself to our best feelings,) but it is the time to act; the labourer is without hire, the energies of life are sinking, and the land is filled with emaciation; casting aside, then, the question of the expediency of such institutions, the committee beg that each In hand on the 1st January 1838 ...... individual will, during the present grievous affliction, give a portion of his monthly income to meet the exigency-be it only a fiftieth, if universal, it will be sufficient. They are aware that there are some who, though, they Under the term anomalous is included the Govern do not throw aught into common fund, distribute for ment allowance of Rs. 900 per mensem, and under that purposes of relief to a great extent: but, it may be asked, of Sundries, the purchase of tools for the emigrants, how can that charity be discriminating and efficient, by temporary hospitals and addititional servants for the sick, which some receive abundance and others not enough? &c. &c. Government have, at the request of the Com

unlimited extent; and, it is hoped, considering the amount of the sick and weekly not less than 1,300, the former whom are receiving medical aid, that they may be induced to assist towards the support of these also. The plan of relief hitherto pursued is that of employ ing those able to labour in some work of acknowledged public utility, paying to each of the men 4 pice, which, in the present scarcity can barely procure a daily meal, and, to all others, as many cowries according to the load and distance to which is carried, as will enable them, by a little exertion, to gain sufficient to supply the demands of nature. The labour has been employed on the public road, parades, and the ground in the neighbourhood of public buildings; and the work now in hand is the excavation of a large tank near the Dragoon and Artillery Hospitals, and the filling up of the low ground in their immediate vicinity. The number of deaths from exposure and starvation, which have come under the cognizance of the society, may be estimated at 600 since the 1st of September last, and including those throughout the station, at 1,200 by the lowest calculation; and the average number relieved daily 1,300.

Seven houses capable of holding 14 individuals have been built during the past year, on the premises of the society, which now can afford shelter to 41 persons.

The number of located paupers perfectly helpless is 30.

the committee have every reason to feel satisfied that Respecting their endeavours to suppress vagrancy, they have fully succeeded: the vagrant is known, hiswanderings noted, and his trade checked: all that is required to complete the efficiency of this branch of the society's operations is a reliance on the judgment of the committee, by referring every petitioner unrelieved to them. The system of monthly returns of travelling applicants is maturing, and, will tend materially, combined with the confidence of the public, to frustrate the worthless vagrants' speculation. The number of travellers relieved is 32: the number of these considered unworthy 10.

In closing their report the committee desire to express a fervent hope that Almighty God may, of his infinite mercy, bless the means adopted to the attainment of the end designed, and interpose to prevent the aggravation of the present unparralleled suffering from the continuance of the present drought.
