right away, and arc alra.d the bank w .11 bieak, then they will 0R-.etimes let it go into eafe hand where they know they shall get the iUer in a fev days. I nd all these men mighty tickled with Jack8on'eitperiment, as it is called, and look as savage as a meat axe, when anybody tays a word agin it. Now it struck me, when nil the banks and credit, was put a stop to and no body could get trusted for any thing, but must pay the round wheels right duwn on the nail, these raisers, and a good many more that would tura misers would work it so as to get all the clear cash in the country into their own hands after a while; and theo they covld buy up the government that has been a sort of saleable article late years yon know and pass jsst rach laws as weald suit 'em hard ones of oeorse. I5y gingoes thinks I this would h worse than a dozen strch administrations as Jackona with all his experiments and Kitchen Cabinet to hoot. Mnt you think so7 I should like to have yoar opinion about it and jrou may put mine in the Gazette, if you think it w-ettfc while. 1 want vou just to consider what a ten
or occupier of any mill, with any such loss,
that shall happen by tire, or other unavoida

any such miller, owner or occupier thereof,

occupier ofan grist mill, saw mill, or other
water works, and who shall have a dam acros
any water course, for such owner, as fa. as the water is caused by said dam, to be back
ed up said stream, and where the water has.
or is about to wash a channel, so as to turn
said stream out of the bed thereof, to erect such fortifications as hm may think nroner. to
m 1
prevent the water from cutting or washinc a!
cnanncl, without tne banks ot such stream, and in so doing not to commit any unnecessary waste or damage: Provided, That nothing in this act contained, shall he so construed as to prevent the owner of such bank from recovering any damages he may sustain, by reason of the erection of such fortifications. Sec. 4. It shall be the duty of all millers who grind for toll, to well and sufficiently
grind the grain brought to their mills, in due time, and in turn as it is brought; and every
, become more severe when the hot winds set
in, and that the mortality will frightfully increase. And the most distressing scenes of human misery are beheld at Culpee and the vicinity, where the poor starving people are merelivingskeletons, havingscarcely strength to move. Many of them daily expire, and arc thrown into the Jumna, while corpses of others are a prey to vultures, dog?, and jackalls. Hundreds cross the Jumna dailv, in the hope of obtaining food in the Dooab and Oude territories . So extensive and so severe is the famine, that mere individual ellorts to nlford
relief can produce no cllect towards checking the calamity.
We are glad to see that measures have been
taken to relieve the miery and distress of the
many starving and wretched creatures, fugi
tives from the famished provinces of Bundlecund, who arc now wandering about the can
tonment. It is certainly with pleasure we
learn, that the King of Oude distributes, dai
ty, 2,000 rupees in the relief of those unfortu
nate people who emigrated to Lucknow.
1 his is real charity. 1 he distress ot the poor
Bundelas is so great, that they are in the ha-1 bit of offering their children for sale, for two, three, or four rupees a head; and when they cannot find purchasers, which occasionally
they are unable to do, owing to the Ijovernment prohibition of slave dealing, the parents
collect a lew sticks from the jungle, and, lighting a fire, burn their children to death! D1STRESSIXG IX C1SI1MERB. Owing to the continuance of famine, it is calculated that upwards of 25,000 individuali

ced with Bysakha Sing. At present the whole
of this subahdry appears to be completely de
populated; the severity of the famine has
reached to that extent, that parents have told their offspring to procure a day's subsistence, and in some instances have devoured them. A woman complained to the city cutwal, that she had agreed with another woman that, in order to save themselves from starvation, they should feed on each other's child by turns. She had already sac rificed her child, on which
they had both feasted, and, in confirmation of
her talc, produced the remain of the infant, and added that the other now refused to com
ply with the agreement, and witheld her child. All the hearers were filled with astonishment and horror. The maharaja has already, in addition to repeated munificent distributions
of grain and money, forgone, at the instigation
of his ministers, two years revenue, in hopes of alleviating this general dirtrcss.
