Juggernant. At the festival of Juggernaut, in 1825, the number of pilgrims was said to be 250,000. Twenty thousand of

these are supposed to have perished, either at the festival, or on their return. Mr. Sutton of Cuttack writes, that last year, (1825), on an extent of ground less than two acres, he saw 90 dead bodies, and in another place 145, all putrifying. The attendance in July last was small compared with the former year. The image of the idol is CO feet high stretching up in a conical form,and39 feet wide at the base. The image has a large black face, with enormous ees, and a large red mouth extending from ear to ear. The image is decorated with gay woolen cloths of different colours, and is moved on a ponderous car with heavv wheels, the spokes of which expend beyond the felloes for the purpose id more effectu ally curshing and mutilating the bodies of the victims.

The Island always preserves the same elevation above the surface of the water, but is not entirely detached from the bed of the pond being fastened to it by the roots of the trees.

merit, and about twenty whites and Indians of the insurgent party, in which the former were defeated, with the loss of one killed, and 3 or 0 wounded, three of whom have since died. The letter writer says, notwithstanding the absurdity of this attempt at Freedom in the opinion of many, it will cost the Mexicans great trouble and a very heavy expense to suppress the insurrection, and if the numerous nations of Indians who inhabit the Province are as determined on keeping the country independent as represented, it will be a long and savage war, but in our opinion they will be eventually exterminated, or drove to the Rocky mountains. The number of Indians in the Province is very large; it is said by sorns who have been among the Cammanchas, that they have between five and six thousand Warriors; others estimate their numbers to be between ten and fifteen thousand; these Indians have been at war with the Spaniards ever since they have been in the country, but their wai fare has been of late carried on by small parties, whose principle object is plunder. There are 16 or 20 other tribes, but their numbers are small, and as tluere has always been a want of unanimity among the Indians in carrying on wars, it is probable that the last na med will not cooperate with their brethren in opposing the IJcsicuns.

The Morgan mystery yet occupies and stimulates all minds at the west; and bv the Argus we find that the committee of the House of Assembly to which was referred the Governors message on this sub

ject, recommended the issuirg of a proc

lamation ottering a reward for Morgan, dead or alive; and if dead, for the con

viction of his murderers, of 5,000. la the report brought in by Mr. Granger, no new evidence, nor indeed evidence of any sort, is referred to, to substantiate the allegation of Morgan's murder. What if he should appear in person, and claim the .55,000 reward? The committee further recommend, that a joint committee of the two houses, to consist of two senators and three members of assembly, be authorized to sit in the recess of the legislature, with power to send for persons and papers. The report and its documents were laid on the table. A. Y. American.

Albany. In 1820, the number of inhabitants was 12,630. It wes probably on the lstinst. 27,300. The number of brick buildings of two, three and four stories erected during the year ending September last, was 77, and 48 wood, making a total of 130. Amongst other items it was cscertained that 135,050 passengers arrived at and departed from, the city in stages; from 75 to 100,000 in steam boats; that 25.000 bMs,of beer were brewed during the last year, and that 50.000 will be brewed this year; and that 1 20,000 morocco skins are annually manufactured.
