VIEW FROM THE RUINS OF THE FORT OF CURRAH, ON THE RIVER GANGES.

The walls of the Fort of Currah, as already mentioned in No. I., are nearly all destroyed; what appears in this view was formerly part of a gateway. From this spot the view down the river Ganges has a grand effect, the banks are well clothed with Mango topes, or groves, richly interspersed with buildings, boats, &c.
