to Chrift-church in Canterbury by Eadbald king of Kent, 
after his return to the Chriltian faith, where it remained

king Eadbert; and that, not many years before he made 
his perambulation, a wall was broken down, by which a 
little cell or chamber was dilcovered, where were found

A fmall river which riles in the weft, and falls into the 
Ganges oppolite to Mongheir; is remarkable for a.great 
event which happened on its banks, near the fmall town 
of Gyah, about eighty miles louth-weft of Mongheir; 
the ill-fated Shah Alum, in an attempt to invade Bengal, 
in 1760, made a furrender of himfelf to the Englilh under 
major Carnac. He was at that time called Shah Zacla, or 
the Prince, his father Alum Geer being then alive. This 
nominal mogul was at the head of eighty thoufand men, 
the major at the head of twenty thoufand. The affair 
was called a battle, but it was a bloodlefs one. He foon 
after threw himfelf into the hands of Sujah ul Dowlah 
and Mir Coflim ; and in the event brought on himfelf 
unparalleled calamities. Gyah is mentioned in the Ayeen 
as being a place of great fandlity, and was named Birhm 
Geya, being confecrated to Brahma. At this town is a 
very large Ficus religiofa, with a linall pagoda or chapel 
built under its lhade, with remnants of porcellane idols, 
mutilated by the Mahometans, who take every opportu¬ 
nity of Ihowing their contempt of the Hindoo worlhip.
