in Central India, the capital of the native state of the same name, in the province of Rajpootana, and the residence of the reigning Rajah. This chief has attracted the notice and commendation of the British Government by his departure from the native mode of administering his possessions, and introducing the British method in its place. Under the reformed system the custom of farming the revenue has been abolished; justice is administered separately in the civil and criminal department; revenue duties are no longer blended with those of police, and the troops are maintained by cash payments instead of territorial assignments. The experiment is the more interesting, inasmuch as since its introduction this principality has been represented by competent authority (the late Colonel Sutherland) as one of the most flourishing native states of India. Distance north-west from Calcutta 900 miles. Lat. 27. 34. Long. 76. 40.

ALYPIUS of Antioch, a geographer of the fourth century. He was sent by the emperor Julian into Britain as deputy-governor; and after remaining in this situation for some time, he received orders from the emperor to rebuild the temple of Jerusalem. An account of the extraordinary interruption of that undertaking by fiery eruptions from the earth, is given under the article Jews; and may be read at length in Ammianus Marcellinus, xxxiii. Among the letters of Julian are two (29 and 30) addressed to Alypius; one inviting him to Rome, the other thanking him for a geographical treatise, which no longer exists.
