but General Staveley and his staff were missing. They
reside at Malabar Point just opposite the lighthouse,
but never knew a word of the chiefs arrival
till the signal gun boomed from the bat-
tery to announce to Lord Fitzclarenoe that every-
thing was in readiness to receive him ! Lord nu-
clarenoe landed shortly before eleven, and rode
through the line, receiving all the honours. The day
was fearfully hot, and all this show might have well
been dispensed with. His lordship appeared in good
health, as did also his lady; but his daughter was
apparently very weak, and was obliged to be carried
I up the pier to the carriage, where she and Lady
Fitzclarence were received by Lady Lecke. rile

Meet at his residenceon the esplanade, and then pro•

der, from Hornby'e battery. His lordship has ,nee
visited different offices in the fort, and will,

Lord Fitzclarence is to succeed Lord Falkland in

the truth of this piece of news there is no
doubt, and you may perhaps wonder that on
such a subject you should be informed from India.
