Notes and issues

"each Saturday" (originally "every Saturday") is perhaps suspect. There's evidence that it was weekly and that it was a Saturday periodical, but did it ever miss a week?
I have used "eastern Bengal" to distinguish the region from Eastern Bengal and Assam and East Bengal, but original source probably needs confirmation for the claim that it was first there.
Should Banglapedia be deleted as a non-RS?
1859 was from deleted source. Some sources indicate an 1858 disestablishment (https://books.google.com.au/books?id=GcQMpaavVNAC&pg=PA190), but 1861 Calcutta News (https://books.google.com.au/books?id=SJIbAQAAIAAJ&pg=RA1-PA1) indicates 1859, and this indicates a 25 December 1858 issue. It's possible that 1858 reflects what libraries have in their collections if final issue was early 1859.
Passed from Forbes to "Mr. N. P. Pogose, a Zemindar of Dacca". In May 1858 passed to E.C. Kemp, later of the Bengal Times (https://books.google.com.au/books?id=GSs3AAAAIAAJ)
J.A Minas published from 1858 (https://books.google.com.au/books?id=XQYzAQAAIAAJ&q=%22J.A.+Minas%22).

May have continued or been relaunched between 1859 and 1871 -- "recently" (to 1867) and 1870 -- and turned into the Bengal Times ("The Bengal Times is the Phcenix of the late Dacca News" from https://books.google.com.au/books?id=HF9OAAAAYAAJ; "The principal English journal is the Bengal Times, lately called the Dacca News, a weekly periodical with an estimated circulation of about 250" from https://archive.org/details/astatisticalacc04kiscgoog p117)
