any of tfte subjects from it would be a serious evil 5 here all religions are absolutely tolerated , and of so little import is a difference in this respect in any subjects , that so late as the rei ° * n of Catherine some villages in the South changed from Christians to
Jews . —There -were no priests there , and the people feeling a want of some religion listened to the Jews , who were amongst them , and became converted , and this took place in perfect quietness The Government has ordered no young person shall study in the Universities of those countries where such principles are disseminated .

INDIA . Religious Battle during the Mo * hurrum . Secundrabad , Sept . 23 , 1822 . A very unpleasant occurrence has taken place in this city during the present Mohurrum festival . The particulars which I have been able to obtain are
as follows : —About a week ago , a dispute arose on some religious point , ( said to be whether Mahomet was or was not to return to this world , ) which dispute was referred by both parties to one of the head Imaums , who decided that he was not to return : on
which one of those who expected the return of Mahomet , immediately struck his creese into the Imaum ' s throat , which killed him . On the 20 tk inst . the two parties came to the outside of the city and fought a pitched
battle , which continued a considerable time , when an officer of rank , in the Nizain ' s service , named Neeaz Buhadoor , was dispatched to put a stop to the affray ; but he Lad scarcely time to interfere when one of the
combatants ( I believe a Patan ) struck off his head . The affair having , in consequence of this assault on the person of his Highness e s officer , become important ,
orders were immediately dispatched to Bolurum , for the brigade of Nizam ' s uuantry to march for the city , which was accordingly done early on the morning of the 21 st . The troops under Col . Doveton ' s command are
encamped at the French Gardens , and every thing appears quiet . Among the combatants were about 300 hun-

dred Patan 9 , who fought on one side of the question , and destroyed upwards of two of their opponents for one of themselves . Betwixt 300 and 400 are supposed to have been killed and wounded . The death of Neeaz
Buhadoor is much regretted , I understand , by the European part of the community who knew him : no doubt , steps will be taken to discover the author of his death . The Patans are said to have taken refuge in Col . Doveton ' s camp , being afraid to return to the city .
The gaieties of this station still continue . There is either a ball or play each month . We had a ball last , and there is to be a play on the 1 st proximo , which , from the ability of the corps dramatique , is expected to afford
much satisfaction . A masonic lodge has been opened here , which from the respectability and number of its members , it is supposed will become one of the most flourishing in India . —Calcutta Journal .
Disturbance in the neighbourhood of Hyderabad . ( Extract from a private letter , dated Hyderabad , 23 rd Sept . 1822 . ) There has been a terrible disturbance in the neighbourhood of this city : the Pathan population of
Chincui Goorah , a suburb , murdered a Hafiz , in consequence of some disputed point of faith , and the whole armed population of the city to the number of 50 , 000 turned out to take revenge . The inhabitants of Chineul Goorah , to the number of 1 , 600 ,
armed to a man , ( and even their children stood their ground , ) sallied out , took two guns and a standard , and then stood at bay . Some hundreds of Juwan-murds have been cut up , and the plain was strewed with strappingcarcases , disfigured by ghastly wounds . The Bolaurum troops , on the day
following the fight , drew up on tlie height , commanding the village , to preserve the peace ; and yesterday , without firing a shot , the matter came to an amicable adjustment , under the excellent arrangement of Mr . Metealfe . The part the Bolaurum troops have taken is very gratifying ; no violence has been used : we have stood
neutral , and the Patbans have quietly withdrawn froiti the Nizam ' s territory , under Bxitish guarantee . — Madras Gazette .
