senen it has shown in its soothing reply to the frantic telegram from the Calcatta Marwaris. One may very well bellove that it was not the intoution of the promoters of the movement to hurt their own countrymen, but this is what they have succended in doing. The birger Indian meroliants, of course, are in a position to recover their losses, but a large number of total shopkeepers complain that they are really ruined. Some sold off their European gends by stealth at below cost price and laid in a stock of inferior country made articles at prices far above the average. Now the latter are lying on their bauds. The same may be said of the Marwarin who haveordered dhotis atau ycost from Bombay, The European community has hardly been affected at all, and, doubtless, the bitterness that won first roused by the contemplation of the weapon the Bengali students had been instigated ino using will soon give place to a feeling of amusement at the extraordinary shortsighted- news of the people who forged it. On the other lead the Marwaris, Mahomedans, and others who have really suff-red are fuil of the slan- ings and anger.

Commander Caberne declared that the British Hydrographic Department is the best in the world. This may be so, and wa hope it is the cass. This fact notwithstanding, however, it wouldppear that the navigation of the British mercantil marine, loaded with the riches of the world, and carrying more passengers than that of any other country's ahips should be carried out in the particular, rather than in the general way of searching the bottom to localize shoals and rocks, and it should not be sufficient to avoid dangers which have been discovered and charted,
