Bengal Club.-The following additions to the list of Members have been made since our last: Sir John Franks, R. Udney, Esq, Lieutenant F. S. Hawkins, A. Cumming, Esq. and Major J. Caulfield.

Benares. We have been favoured with a letter from this station, from which we are happy to find the spirit of gaiety and good homour, noticed in former communications from thence, continues to prevail there. We understand that a Journal, entitled the Benares Circular, has been set up, we presume in Manuscript, as the blessings of a Free Press, have not yet visited the Mofussil. By an announcement thus promulgated, we find a Theatre has been erected at Secrole, and we understand, that neither pains nor expense have been spared in fiting up the house in a style, combining comfort with elegance. The Theatre was to open on Friday, the 6th, with Love a la Mode, and Raising the Wind.

Chittagong.-In our paper of the 15th uitimo, we adverted to the construction of a New Road from Chittagong to the Cantonments at Akyab, and have since been en abled to collect the following further particulars. The construction of this road will not only faci litate the march of troops, and the transmission of the Dawk, but promote an early settlement in the extensive tract of country to the eastward of the Naaf, hitherto almost desolate and waste.

It is known to many, more par

ticularly our military friends, who accompanied General Morrison's army to Arracan, that their ad. able delay, by the want of a road, vance was subjected to considernot only in the enemy's country, the southward of Chittagong; that but through our own districts to most alarming apprehensions were excited for the safe and speedy arrival in the Naaf of the sloops conveying provisions for our troops on which they were entirely depresented in crossing the force to pendent; and that the obstacles Mungdoo, were attended with serious difficulties and delay.

The present route from Chuckereeah to Mungdoo, consists of ten stages,* with ferries at the Buckullee and Raijjoo rivers, with se

veral tide nullahs along the sea beach, that are only fordable at low water, and with the passage of the Naaf the latter, at the point it is croseed to reach Mungdoo is nearly four miles broad, and is so exposed to the south-west, that it is impossible for boats to cross in unsettled weather, and the west shore can only be approached at high water, which renders the transport of troops, and the dawk extremely tedious and uncertain; at each of the stages also, along the sea beach, supplies must be conveyed by land, the whole line of route being uninhabited and inaccessible to boats.

The new route proposed runs to to the eastward of the Weyladong, and to the westward of the Mungdoo mountains, with chiefly level ground; it consists of seven marches only, and there is not a nullah but what may be bridged, and the whole are perfectly fordable and mostly dry, for eight or nine months in the year, and at each of these stages, provisions can be conveyed by inland water carriage at any time of the year, on immediate requistion thus no obstruction offers to the march of troops from Chittagong to the Myoo-river, where a flotilla being always stationed, they may be crossed over to the Island of Akyab in two hours.

The great improvement in the celerity of the communication with Arracan, will more than compensate of itself the expense now incurring, as by the erection of a few Shakesperian Rustic Bridges it is confidently expected that the Dawk, which has hitherto, during the rains, taken nine or ten days to travel from Chittagong to Akyab, will not average a longer period than from three to five days, making the communication with Calcutta from Akyab, during the

dry season, in eight days, and in ten days in the wet, which, until lately, took eleven days in the one, and fifteen days in the other season.

new

It appears, that the districts to the southward of Chittagong, are extremely populous, and that many of the inhabitants are desirous of proceeding to settle extensive and fertile, but now desolate plains under the range of the Mungdoo mountains, to the eastward of the Naaf; but by the present route, they were subjected to a heavy tax of paying individually, for ferrying them over the rivers above alluded to, and as the same was exacted on their return to visit their families, they were debarred from pursuing so desirable an object. The route having been partially opened, numerous enquiries and applications have been already made, we understand to tenant these lands, and frequent small parties are travelling to and fro, now, that they are liable to no charge beyond their personal expences. We have no doubt that, in a few years, we shall hear of the wilds of Arracan being as cultivated as the rest of the territories under our sway, and that so far from the country being a burden to the state, we shall find the Arracan mountains, the natural boundary to our possessions to the Southward, constitute a barrier, that can be kept with less expense, and less fear of incursions from our late demibarbarous neighbours, and affording undisturbed security to our ancient Ry

ots in the Southern district.

The claims of Lieut. White, to the discovery of the route, have been questioned by a Correspondent, and we cannot doubt that the

practicability of the route was known to the gentleman he men

tions.

It is not impossible however, that Lieut. White may have gained the information of its existence from some other source, and at any rate, to him will belong the
