South
  Kanara
district
  of
Madras
 , and ter-minus of the west
coast
  line of the
Madras
  railway. Pop. (Igor), 44,108. The harbour is formed by the backwater of two small rivers. Vessels ride in 24 to 30 ft. of water, and load from and unload into lighters: The
chief
  exports are coffee, coco-nut products, timber,
rice
  and spices. Mangalore clears and exports all the coffee of
Coorg
 , and trades directly with Arabia and the
Persian Gulf. There is a small shipbuilding industry. The town has a large Roman Catholic population, with a European
bishop
 , several churches, a convent and a college. It is the headquarters of the Basel Lutheran mission, which possesses one of the most active printing presses in southern India, and has also successfully introduced the
industries
  of weaving and the manufacture of tiles. Two colleges (Government and St Aloysius) are situated here. Mangalore was gallantly defended by Colonel John Campbell of the 42nd regiment from May 6, 1783, to January 30, 1784, with a garrison of r85o men, of whom 412 were English, against Tippoo Sultan's whole army.
