LORD CANNING AT MADRAS.

Lord and Lady Canning arrived in Madre, on the
15th of February, whea gusrde of honour {paraded, fl 1
hoisted,•ilutes were fired, and ladies and gentlemen
assembled on the beech t 3 witce,s the landing. The new
Governorta l amid his kill departed on the mcreing of
the 231 under the tame ceremonies, basin during the nine
days they were here visited all the lostitudona of Intl
lotereit, held • levee, and produced (says the Madras
Ar/soireass) • pleasing impression oa all by their affability
and courtesy.
To an address presented him at Madras, Lord Canning
replied in the fellowirg terms :
You smarm pray more earneelly chin I do that the
room of peaceful improvement in which of late India has
Wye:aced so rapidly, may suffer no iaterruplion or chick,
from with nit or from within, diming my tenure of the trust
which I am about to assume. I am well roevinced that
st. ady progress in that course is the surest means by which
to tr mote the happiness of her peaple, cad the hullos, of
bar ration.

" I thank you for year coolideace is the interest which I
cennot fail to feel is the piosperity of this great empire.
Undoubtedly if scything c .uld make that interest more
keen. I should Sod it in the rsc ;Section of the circum•
stances under whir h the name I bear was for a time asso-
ciated with the government of India.
" It is painfal to know that, as regerdo this presidency,
the anxiety which must always press upon tl ore who are
charged with the administration of India Government is at
this time more this una/ly heavy, on account of the
droughts with which the country has been visited. Short
as my experience of India hes been, this is net the first
instance which I have met oh well•founded apprehensions of
suffering from the same cause. But it is its rtsin that a
mitigation at least of such sufferings is is our own hand ;
and that the resources of the country, carefully fostered
and wisely expended, may go far to I.ghten them. There
to some emulation in this, and much encouragement for
the future.

" 1 beg leave to thank you Is Lady Cenning's came for
the 1/11.C31111l which she has received at lOW hand.."

along the roadside with greetings. The only difficalty at
prompt is the pietist of the troops. The accounts are
immensely involved. The onomandant, when a native,
bas always che-tsi his men, and withheld much of their
pay. Be has 114 to fee others—and so the list of em-
Maulers who will have to disgorge before we ran go through
