UN DI A.

A 119111.3, Atm.6, 1131,9..—The arrangements

for the dispatch of the ship Goteral Palmer were all completed
on Saturday afternoon, when her numerous passenger; em-
barked. Major General Sir plward Barnes proceeded to the
place of embarkation about six o'clock, 0.u., and-was 'honoured
by all the customary ceremonies observed on these ozcasions.—.
H is Majesty's 41st regiment were drawn out in the Fort•square,

and a street was formed by the whole of the troops in garrison,
through which his Excellency passed, accompanied by his Es:
cellency General Sir Alexander Campbell, the Members of-
Council, the Public Secretaries, the Stall; and many others. A

salute of 17 guns announced his departure from the shore.

The General Palmer was all ready to get under weigh at 8
o'clock, but unfortunately the wind died away, and it remainea,

a dead calm the whole night. A light air sprung up shout

Government

We have seen letters from. the Honourable the Governor's
party, dated the 2Gth ult. The Reliance arrived at the place of
rendezvous on the morning of the 23d. beating the Commodore
by 18 hours. The Honourable the Governor and suite landed

at Calingapatam on the 2-lth, all well ; and the party were to
commence their first march to Iterhampore on the 26th ult.--
The Reliance was to return to this port immediately, and the
3leriton only remained at anchor two hours, and then stood on
for Calcutta.

Since our last,. further authentic information has been repelled

Iris also important to remark, that not one of the public build'

which has sustained some trilling injury. The price of evert

We have to lament, however, that other parts of the district,

besides the five Thsnahs before alluded to, have suffered se-
verely. The disastrous effects of the storm on the islands of

Hattie and Sundeep have been comparatively of no great esa

and it is to be feared that a very large proportion of their fora

refuge in the trees, where they remained for nearly two die'
with nothing to subsist on but leaves. The deluge and th
appearance of the Megna must have been at this time teilf

With regardto the relief of the surviving sufferers from lw"
sudden calamity,
we may observe, that the Government OF;

that, in consequence, all articles of food have been TedurP-

the inhabitants of Calcutta, will be most acceptable; and_..9l/11;
