M. between 74 and 75, but this is cooler by 15 degrees than I have lately expetienced it. The elevation of Hajjee is about 4000 feet.o A letter inserted in the Calcutta papers, gives the follow ing account of a curious practice witnessed by an Officer, while on duty in the late war against the Napatilese:—" At the village of Danguikunar we observed a curious practice, %v 1 ich 1 must describe. Small streams of water, conveyed cool from then native springs to the huts of the inhabitants, en tered wooden spouts, under which the women having lulled their children to sleep, and %%gapped their bodies and limbs in blankets, placed their little heads, on the tops of which the water t. om the spouts descended. This custom, they tell rrn., i universal, and selves to make them strong and keep them cool. I saw two children under this operation, and they slept calm and composedly. The plan of first causing them to sleep loy violent rocking on the knees, seemed rather calculated to shake the child to pieces than to induce slumber; yet the desired al:et was instantaneous, for the child, though wondering and surprised by the sight of strangers, SOOII lost its senses, slept, and was conveyed to the spout. I know not if this practice be observed else- whet e." TUESDAY'S LONDON GAZETTE. BANKRUPTS. J. Dymond and R.
