JUDICIAL COMMITTEE PRIVY COUNCIL,

Nor. 26.

Motee Lal Oppudhia, v. Juggernauth Gurg. This was an appeal from the Court of Sudder Dewanny Adawlut, Bengal. After hearing counsel for the Appellant,

Lord Brougham intimated, that their lordships did not intend to call upon the counsel for the respondent, considering that the appellant had not made out a case sufficiently strong, on the two objections urged by him against the decree of the court below, to justify their lordships in reversing it. The decree of the court below was, therefore, affirmed, but without costs.

Rajunder Narain Rai and others v. Bijai Govind Sing.-This was an ap plication to amend an order in council of the 16th April 1834. confirming a report of their lordships." The appli

cants were the appellants on that occasion (which was an appeal from Bengal), and were at the time minors; their guardian, however, although in possession of funds to carry on the appeal, neglected their interests, and the case was heard in the absence of any party to represent them. The report of their lordships, which was confirmed by His Majesty in Council, affirmed the decree of the court below.

Lord Brougham said that, under the circumstances, their lordships would advise His Majesty to amend the Order in Council, and to re hear the appeal.

MISCELLANEOUS.

THE LATE DR. MORRISON'S CHINESE

LIBRARY.

The late Rev. Dr. Morrison, in the year 1824, brought to England a collection of Chinese books, in every branch of the literature of that nation, which he had obtained by great perseverance, and at an *See Vol. XIV. p. 142.

expense of £2,000. It consists of about 900 distinct works, occupying nearly 10,000 (Chinese) volumes, and forming undoubtedly the most complete library of Chinese literature to be found in Europe. His design, in bringing this library to England, was to offer it as a free gift to his country, provided it could be rendered the means of introducing into it the study, and of establishing, in one of its seats of literature, a school for the cultivation of the Chinese language. Not meeting with encouragement in this primary design, he projected a society, under the title of" The Language Institution," to whose apartments in Bartlett's Buildings the library was transferred. The object of the Institution was to give instruction to all persons desirous of obtaining a knowledge of the Chinese and other Oriental languages; and gratuitously to such as intended to devote their attainments to the propaga tion of Christianity. Dr. Morrison himself attended, at stated hours, and gave instructions in Chinese to several pupils. After his return to China, the Institution languished, and at length was closed. The library, according to the doctor's directions, was placed, under the care of Trustees, in the house of the London Missionary Society, where it still remains. The Trustees have since made several efforts to dispose of it to the government and other public bodies, in their own country, but without success. In the mean time, the attention of the Professor of Chinese in the college of France having been attracted to it, and a catalogue granted, overtures of purchase for the Royal Library of Paris were made, on the communication of which to the doctor, he declared it to be his determination that it should not be sent out of England. In consequence of the death of Dr. Morrison, and the very inadequate provision which is found for the support of his widow, and a family of seven children,-five under the age of ten years, (and one only, his eldest son, provided for),—it becomes imperative that this unique collection should be rendered available to the better support of his family, and the education and future establishment of his children. To give effect to this interesting measure, by inviting an extended and liberal subscription for the purchase of the library, is the object of the present address.

It would derogate from the honour of the country, to doubt that a plan, intended to express public esteem for the memory, and benevolent feeling towards the family, of a man, whose name-whether he is regarded as the founder of the AngloChinese College, the compiler of his great

Chinese and English dictionary, the chief translator of the Holy Scriptures into Chinese, or for many years the able servant of the East-India Company, as Chinese translator to their factory at Canton,presents so many claims to the esteem of his countrymen, will meet with their cordial support. From Dr. Morrison's original intention in bringing this library to England, it is concluded that a destination of it, which shall render it instrumental in promoting the study of the Chinese language in Great Britain, will erect the best monument to his memory, and accomplish his patriotic desire thereby to confer an important benefit upon his country. With this view, the friends of the deceased, who have undertaken to conduct the measure now submitted to public attention, beg respectfully to recommend, that, as the library will be obtained by voluntary donations, the Trustees of the fund shall be authorised to present it, as a gift, to one of the most eminent literary institutions of the metropolis, the directors of which shall be willing to institute A PROFESSORSHIP OF THE CHINESE LANThe increased interest which recent political events have given to the vast and important regions of the globe, over which that language and its cognate dialects prevail, seems to invite Great Britain, at this crisis, to the honour as well as the advantages of adopting a measure which, together with other important results, may yield facilities to the formation of future relations between the Chinese and British nations.

GUAGE.

These views are submitted to the consideration of the public, in the confidence that they will meet with the concurrence and support of Englishmen of all ranks, at home and abroad, who feel it an honour done to their country, when unassuming merit and disinterested labours for the good of mankind meet from it a sure, though it may only be a posthumous reward.

The following gentlemen have consented to become Trustees of the fund to be raised, until the library shall be legally conveyed to the Institution which shall accede to the proposed terms: Sir George Thos. Staunton, Bart., Samuel Mills, Esq., Wm. Alers Hankey, Esq.

Donations will be received by the following bankers: Messrs. Coutts and Co.; Sir Claude Scott, Bart., and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; and Messrs. Hankey, and Co.

TRANSLATIONS OF THE SCRIPTURES.

The report of the Translation Committee of the Christian Knowledge Society on the versions of the Scriptures, states, with respect to the oriental versions, as follows: "The Committee have had the pleasure of receiving, by the hands of Archdeacon Asiat. Journ, N.S. VOL. 22, No.85.

Corrie, now Bishop of Madras, a copy of the Persian version of the Liturgy, which had been completed at Calcutta, before his departure from India. The Bishop having stated, in his conference with the Committee, that he considered a Teloogoo version of the Liturgy would be very useful, and was likely soon to be very much wanted in southern India, his lord ship has been empowered, in conjunction with the district Committee at Madras, to make arrangements for effecting a translation into that language. The Committee have received, from both the Bishop of Calcutta and the Bishop of Madras, testimonies to the value of the report made to the Committee, last year, by Professor H. H. Wilson, of Oxford, on the state of the existing versions of the Holy Scriptures in the Indian languages. The Bishop of Calcutta states, that the report, and the sug gestions of the Committee, should be well and anxiously considered by himself and the authorities of Bishop's College. The Syndicate of Bishop's College had agreed to print an edition of Dr. Pococke's version of the Liturgy in Arabic; the parts which were wanting in the original edition having been supplied by Mr. Tytler, and other members of the Syndicate. The new Arabic version of the Liturgy, which was noticed in the last report, has been completed; and has been brought from Malta to England, by the Rev. C. F. Schlienz, under whose superintendence it has been executed. The residence of Mr. Schlienz in England will enable the Committee to have the whole work thoroughly examined; and from the report which has been made to them of such parts as have been examined, they entertain great hopes that it will be found worthy of the Society, and will be generally acceptable to Oriental Christians. They consider that the circumstance of the older version having been completed simultaneously at Calcutta, will give additional interest to the new work, and will enable them to make it more perfect."

FULL BATTA.

We are glad to find that the despatch, granting full batta to all European officers within two hundred miles of each presidency, has this week been forwarded to India. This beneficial measure will afford great relief to the officers of the Indian army, at the large European stations, such as Belgaum, Bellary, and Dinapore; and moreover, places the Madras and Bombay officers on an equality, in point of batta, with those of Bengal.-Naval and Mil. Gaz. Dec. 24.

JAPAN. WARE.

In the minutes of evidence before the Committee of the Commons on Arts and Manufactures, is that of Mr. Samuel (1)

Wildey, a japanner of Birmingham, who was examined touching that branch of trade in England. Speaking of the Chinese japan-ware, he says: "the material they (the Chinese) use I consider one great means of their goods looking so much better than ours. Their material, after it is laid on, whether it is gold or gold powder, is never varnished, and there is a degree of brilliancy and richness that never appears after it is varnished : tre are obliged to varnish ours to preserve its colours, in doing which, we lose a great part of its brilliancy. Some years ago, we procured gold powder from China, and could make it appear of the same appearance as that from Canton; and we found it very valuable indeed for the purpose of imitating the Indian cabinets, and the various articles we have to copy or repair; but there is a different appearance, as different as possibly can be, between the Indian gold and gold powder, and that of British manufacture; and the material they use for laying on the gold is different: we are informed it is gum extracted from trees, and when the parts are laid on, they are the very same as though you cut small gold wires and laid them in-there is that prominence." He adds, that they could not procure this gold powder in trade; that it was not analyzed, but he thinks it is prepared by a chemical process.—p. 59, a. 775 -786.

BENGAL MILITARY ORPHAN SOCIETY.

On the 17th December 1836, a piece of plate was presented to J. Grierson, Esq. by the mothers and guardians of various wards connected with the Bengal Military Orphan Society, as a token of sincere gratitude, for his unremitting attention, and unceasing exertions to promote their comfort and welfare, during the many years he retained the situation of agent to the Society.

"THE CHARLES EATON."

Copies of two papers, written by Capt. Lewis of H. M. Schooner Isabella, (despatched to Torres Straits, in search of the crew of the Charles Eaton, left with the natives of Murray's Island, in July 1836, have been transmitted to England from Batavia, where they were dropped by the Commander of the H.E.I.C. brig-of-war Tigris. Capt. Lewis therein states, that he has ascertained that the passengers and crew of the vessel, which was wrecked on the barrier reef, had been murdered by the savages, except two, John Ireland, boy of the Charles Eaton, and a little boy named William Doyley, son of Captain Doyley, of the Bengal artillery. Ireland states that the captain and passengers and crew, landing on two rafts, were murdered in his presence by the savages of Boydang,

an island in lat. 9° 56′ 15′′; long. 1430 11' 40". The two survivors were saved from the Boydang savages by the natives of Murray's Island, by whom they were well treated. Capt. Lewis landed on Boydang, and found the skulls, arranged under a shed, in the middle of the island, near the place where the savages feast on their victims. He conveyed them on board, and destroyed the skull-bouse and walls, and every coco-nut tree on the island.
