Captain Gr o n o w, the
* Anther.
tt*,
Captain Gronow, late of the British Life
Guards; whose interesting , memoirs have
naade his name famous to,/ all general rea
ders, died. in. Paris, on Monday, the 20th of
November. Captain Gronow,..who was in
the Guards at Waterloo, was one- of the Old
schooil, and had ;probably seen 'as -much
"life'r as any man of the day.
Of his personal appearance and career a
Paris correspondence thus speaks:,Who
does not remember that small, neat, scplier
like figure, as erect in 1865 as when he was
drilled at St. James' Palace in 1812? Who•
does not remember that handsome old
man's face, with the quick eye that made
him the best pistol shot of his own or per
haps any other day? , Who that knew him
ever conversed with Gronow long without
hearing an anecdote of the past courts,
camps and miscellaneous fashionable world?
It was in 1862 that Captain. Gronow pub
lished
the first volume of his "Reminis
cences," and in that book will be found the
most conspicuous events of his eventful
life. It was written in Paris, with'the assis
tance of some literafy friends, to whcimthad
been submitted the fragmentary Manu
script. Two other volumes of a similar
nature have since appeared; and I believe a
fourth volume of.anecdotes is now in the
pregs. The four volumes did not exhaust
his store of gossiping narratives about all
classes of society; but during . the last half
century many of the remaining fragnients
are of too personal and domestic a nature to
be given to the world. Captain Gronow-, the
son of a Welsh gentleman, commenced his
'military career in 1813,'when ,he joined the
• expedition to Spain under the Duke of Wei.
-lington. After going through the excite
ment of that brief campaign he returned to
.England; and was one of the -conspicuous
and fashionable men about town; a gallant
in the drawing-room, an amusing gossiper
at the'clubs—in fact, one of that sort of men
:who are occasionally taken tip instinctively
by royalty and some of the higher mem
bers of aristocratic society. The demands
of the service 'soon took 'him back to the
-Continent again, and he found himself at
-the battle of Waterloo, an interesting de
scription of which is given in the first
voliime of the deceased soldier's "Reminds
- cences."
~ The best known events of Capt. Gronow's
. life occurred when the allies entered Paris.
The young soldier was one of the fashion
.able flaneurs of the city, and passed his
time among the military conglomeration of
seve European nations. Society was
ch terized by the prevajence of gambling
4 u
and eling, which at that time were the
prevailing habits and customs of the rol-
Ilicking allies in Paris. Brave as a lion, an
excellent shot, and a man by no means in
clined to accept an intended slight or an
insult, such as Frenchmen in those days
took infinite delight in addressing to Eng
lishmen he found- himself identified, both
personally and as a second, in Several duels.
No English officer more gallantly upheld
the honor and chivalry of the British army
than Captain Gronow; Some of his dueling
adventures have • been made use of by
novelists and dramatists. Gronow, how
ever, never referred_ to these encounters
himself, and in his "Anecdotes and Remi
niscences" he hss studiously avoided the
narrative of many personal events which
would 'have formed not the least - attractive
chapters of his gossiping miscellanies. His
social career, his acquaintance with and
recollection of men of the times, form per
haps the most attractive features of his
richly stored mind. It is only necessary to
turn to the volumes of his "Reminiscences,"
and you find that he was ldentified with the
most prominent statesmen, Men of letters,
dandies, Jew money lenders, ambassadors,
and celebrities of the fashionable world,
such as Brummell and D'Orsay. Nothing
can better illustrate Captain:, Gronow's anti
toadyism, despite his continual mingling
with the highestclasses, than the observa
tions he makes about the Prince. Regent in
his first volume of personal sketches and
anecdotei. At page fifty-three he says:—
,"The Regent was singularly imbued. with
petty royal pride. He would rather be
amiable and familiar with his tailor than
agreeable and friendlysvith the most illus
trious of the aristocracy of Great Britain;
'he would rather joke with a Brummell
than admit to his confidence a Norfolk or a
Somerset. The Regent was always ,•arti
cularly well bred in public, and showed, if
he chose, decidedly good manners; but he
'yew often preferred to address those whom 7
he felt he could patronize. His Royal High
ness was as much the victim of circum
stances and the child of thoughtless impru
dence as the most humble subject of the
crown. His unfortunate marriage with a
Princess of Brunswick originated in his
debts—as he married that unhappyiady
for one million sterling, Wm. Pitt-being
the contractor. The Princess of Walesanar
ried nothing but an association with the
crown of England. If the Prince ever seri
ously loved any woman, it was Mrs. Fitz
herbert, with whom he had appeared at the
altar.". .
Capt. Gronow was twice married, Ids se
cond- affiance having taken place within
the last ten years. He leaves four children
and a youthful and amiable wife to lament
the loss- - of an affectionaie father and dis
tinguished man of the time. The imme
diate cause of his death was violent hemOr
_rhage from the nose, which yielded to
remedies, and was then succeeded by a
fatal attack of erysipelas.

[From the Delhi Gazette.].
4 it appears that a certain chief wild holds
sway in the State' of Bhatwa, in the Batty-
war territory, and who is named Khamal
deen,or Kumaloodeen,lately conceived a de
sire to add to the live stock in his harem..
For ~this purpose , emissaries. were dis
c\
patched to Ahmedaba where lived an
Englishman 'with his ife and children.
They were a dissolute ouple, by all ac
counts,. and of course had long rubbed
skirts with poverty. They had a daughter
named Anne, a girl 14 years of age, and the
Bhabisa emissaries determined to make the
parents an offer for their daughter.,i The
father agreed; in consideration of 3,00 ru
pees, to'consign his daughter for her life to
the tender care of Kumaloodeen. The-bar
gain having been struck, the contracting
parties made the best of their way to Bhatwa,
- where the money was to be paid and the
goods delivered. Arrived at their destina
tion, this child of 14,,the offspring of English
parents, and, a daughter of the. Christian
Church, was handed over to her purchaser,
and the delicate-minded parents became the
happy possessors of 3,000 rupees (£300). At"
this stage of the proceedings the chaplain of
Rajoke callea upon the political agent
of Kattvliar . to rescue the- child from the
destrucliOn to which, body and soul, she was
doomed by heriguardians. Our correspon
dent doeamot vouch for the truth of, the re
. port which has reached him touching the
action.taken by the political agent in the
matter; but what he says is, that Anne;
after she had become the Newaub's pro
perty, was solemnly - made to abjure the
errors of, a Christian Church, and formally
received into comtnunionwith the followers
of the true prophet. The next step taken in
, regard to the child was to marry her after the
Mohamniedan fashion, toherpurchaser, but
before the ceremony.was performed the po
litical officer is reported to have caused the
bridegroom, justturned of seventy., to draw
up a marriage settlement, by which the new
light of the harem is secured in the posses
' sion of ,an income of twehciusand and odd
rupeel per annum, *Jading an item of.
' thirtyoupees for pan and, pooperee, which
may be looked upon as : n eqUivalent for
' pin-money. The politic: agent, however,
wal3 not satisfied with this provision for the
present wants of Anne. : e caused another

ceive, for the term of her natural life the
allowance of three thousanl rupees per an
num." This affair has naturally caused
great indignation among the Europeans in
India. • '
Fashionable Life in India.
A correspondent writing 'from •Poonah,
Western India; gives .the folloWing sketch
of that ancientDiLahratta capital, which is
now the resort OM.he fashionable world of
Bombay: • - I •
-The town is well laid out with excellent
roads, beautiful groves and promenades.
'The dwellings, some of which are extensive,
are all of the style of architecture 'charac
teristic of ihe bungalow of this latitude. The
grounds around the houses, and generally
consisting of several acrt&s, are universally
laid plat with great taste, and are beautified
by a profusion of flowers, shrubs and trees
of the climate. The most singular and at
the same time attractive feature of many of
the gardens are hedges of a species of cactus
which puts forth a small,pale,pinkblossom.
There is
in great rivalry athong the resi
dents here keeping up fine gardens and
adorningthe exterior of the premises with
everything pleasing to the eye. This exhi
bition of taste is not confined alone to the
Europeans, but also large numbers of
wealthyParsees and Hindoos. The p9blic
buildings now being reared are spacious.
and when completed will be a great im
provement to the city. The water works of
the etiy are also very fine.
The time for the turnout of the fashion
able life of the town is between the hours of
five and seven in the evening, when magni
tioent equipages with native coachmen and .
runners; giving the establishment a sort of
princely air, are seen on. the roads every
where and in large, numbers. The. Parsee
establishments are more noticeable than'
the European. The male 'members of the
family always ride in an open vehicle in
front drawn by twdfor four - .horses; follow
ing in the rear are the ladies, children and,
nurses of the household, according to the
numbers, and in two, three or four carri
ages, closed so that from the • outside it is
impossible on a rapid glance, to see any
thing within. This is rather unaccounta
ble, as,the religion of the Barsees does not
doom the woman to that servitude required
by the peculiar views of the Turks. The
effect of the presence of ,so much high
sopiety is obvious amongst the lower class
of natives here. Poonahj, for cleanlimss
and good appearance, cannot be excelled
anywhere.
Though the higher circles occupy social
altitudes of considerable height, I find little.'
to impress One of this fact, except in the
evening drives. There is no gayety what
ever. No doubt the people comp here for
rest, health, cool air and sound slumbers.
In this point of view they carryout this rule
of Life, - but generally make up . for the lost
time during the cold, season in Bombay.
The only prospect of excitement is in the
races, which are looked for'the beginning of
November. As this is the time when society
migrates to the city the races are a sort of
winding up of the resting season, as an in
troduction of the gayeties about to be re
sumed.
-CIToOsiNG 'A
PlEtYsiciAN.—There is an
Eastern story of a certain prince who had
received from a fairy the faculty of not only.
assuming whatever appearance he thought
proper, hilt of discerning the wandering
spirits of the departed. He had long la
bored under a painful chronic disease, that
none. of the coat physicians, ordinary or
extraordinary, could relieve; and he re
solved to wander about the streets of his
capital until he could find some one, regu
lar or irregular; who could alleviate his
sufferings. For this purpose he donned the
garb and appearance of a dervish. As he
was passing through one of the principal
streets, he was surprised to see it so thronged
with ghostsithat, had they been still inhab
itants of their former earthly tenements,
they must have.obstructed the thoroughfare.
Mit - what was his amazement and dismay
When he 'saw -that they were all grouped
witW anxious looks round the door of his
father's physician, haunting, no doubt, the
man - to whom they attributed their
untimely doom. Shocked with the sight, he
hurried to another part of the city, where
resided another physician of the court,hold
ing-the, second rank in fashionable estima
tion. Alas! his gateway was surrounded
with the ghosts of reproachful departed pa
tients. •Thunderstruck,at such a discovery,
and returning thanks to the Prophet that
he was still in the flesh, despite the practice
of ,these great men, he resolved to submit
all the other renowned practitioners to a
similar visit: and he was grieved to find
that the scale of ghosts kept pace with the
scale of theirmedical rank. Heart-broken
and despairing of a cure, he was slowly
sauntering back to the palace, when, in an
obscure street, and on the door of a humble
dwelling; he read a doctor's name. One
Single poor solitary ghost, leaning his de
spondent cheek upon his fleshless hand,
was seated on the doctor's steps. "Alas!"
exclaimedthe prince, "it is, then, too true
that humble merit withers in the shade,
while ostentatious ignorance inhabits
golden mansions. This poor neglected
doctor, who has but one unlucky case to
lament, is then the only man in whom I
can place confidence. He rapped; the door
was opened by the doctor himself, a yellers
ble old man, not rich enough; perhaps, to
kep a domestic to answer his unfrequent
calls. His white locks and flowing beard
adding to the confidence which his situation
had inspired. The elated youth then re
lated at full length ell his complicated
ailments, and the still more compli
cated treatment to ' which he had in
vain been submitted. The sapient
physician was not illiberal enough to say
the prince's attendants had all been in error,
since all mankind may err; but his sarcas
tic smile, the curl of his lipS, and the dubi
ous slia_ke of his hoary head, most eloquent
ly told the anxious patient that he consid
ered his fon:her physicians as an ignorant
murderous set of upstarts, only fit to
depOpulate a community. With a trium
phant look he promised a cure, and gave
his overjoyed patient a much valued pre
scription, which he carefully confided to
his bosom; after which he expressed his
gratitude by pouring upon the doctor's
table a purse of golden sequins,which, made
the old man's blinking eyes shine as
brightly as the coin he beheld in wondrous
delight. His joy gave suppleness to his
rigid spine, and after bowing the prince out
in the most obsequious manner, he ven
tnred to ask him one humble question :
"By what good Welt, by what kind - planet,
beta he been recomittended to seek his ad
vice?" The prince natur lly asked for the
reason of so strange a q estion; to which
the worthy doctor replied, with eyes brim
ful with the tears of gratitude : "Oh, sir,
because. I considered myself the most ttn
fortunateinan in Bagdad , until this happy
moment; for I have beet settle& in this
noble and wealthy city fo the last fifteen
years and have only been able to obtain
one single patient." ‘Ah !" cried the prince
fn'despair, "then it mist be that poor, soli
tary, unhappy looking ghost that is now
sittiu on your steps !" •
