We are sorry to learn that the most noble the Governor
has been delayed by indisposition at Vellore, whence an order
arrived on Saturday for Mr. Sanderson, his medical attendant,
to proceed to join and accompany his Lordship to the Hills,
and that gentleman accordingly started for Vellore the same
evening.—U. S. Gazette, May 19.
The Honourable the Governor, with his family, proposes
proceeding to the Deccan on the 10th prox., to remain during
the rains.
From Rajpoor we are sorry to learn that no abatement of
cholera has yet taken place among the men of the 22d Regi-
ment, en route to Baroda, at which place they are happily
expected soon to arrive. Notwithstanding all the precautions
which have been used to guard against the scourge, large
numbers are still carried off every day ; the sufferings of the
men being much augmented by the want of water, which is
experienced on the marches. The humane conduct of Capt.
Wilkie, the Bheel Agent, is spoken of in the highest terms
on account of many kind services rendered to the regiment.
Among the men of the regiment that relieved the 22d at
Malwa. cholera is said to prevail extensively also.—Courier,
May 29.: _ _

We have intelligence from Kangra to the 14th instant, re-
ceived this morning, from which it appears that the garrison
still held out, notwithstanding the attempts of Dewan Deena
Nath to induce them to surrender. That officer had reached
the camp on the 12th inst., and appeared very confident_ of
ultimate success. One of our friends thinks the garrison may
march out when the guns arrive. They had broken down
the bridge connecting the town with the road to the gate.
Should they continue to hold out, the great difficulty will be
in getting the guns up to the proper level for placing •them
in position ; but then two days' shelling must, in the opinion
of good judges, settle the matter. The heat was increasing
considerably, and it is therefore to be hoped that the service
may be sp►edily concluded. The name of the Killedar is
Hunsraj.—Delhi Gazette, May 20.

NORTH-WEST PROVINCES.
Our latest Ferozopore lette .a are to the effect that secresy
had been maintanel to tae last moment regarding the de-
parture of the Raja of Ladwa, and especially the direction
in which he was to be sent, by special order of the Govern-
ment, to prevent his giving such notice to his friends as
might, by possibility, lead to an attemFt at conniving at his
escape, or effecting a rescue. Sickness was prevalent at
Ferozepore, and some cases of cholera had appeared.
Small pox had carried off several victims.—Delhi Gazette,
May 20.
We learn from Loodianah under date of the 16th inst., that
the Raja of Ladwa is on his way from Ferozepore to the
former station under escort of a wing of the 14th Regiment
N. 1., with a party of cavalry (the detachment of this arm
from Ferozepore to be exchanged at Dhurumcote for a
Ressalah of the Shekawatee Brigade), which will be relieved
at Loodianah, whence the prisoner is to be conveyed to Urn-
banal). He was to be at Dhuruincote on the 14th or 15th,
and is no doubt by this safely lodged at Loolanah. It is
Mated in one of our letters that some Shroffs at that
place are likely to be proceeded against f r having sup
idled the Raja with mems during the war—a fact which.
it may be rernembaol, was hinted at by our na-
ive Loodianah correspondent at the time of its oc-
currence. It appears that three, not two, companies of
artillery, as we previously mentioned, have gone from Loo-
dianali towards Kangra; they are under c,anmand of Lit ut.-
Col. Wood of the artillery. The number of mortars sent
against the fort is ten. A report prevailed at Loodianah on
the 16th that Kangra had been surrendered, but we think
.ve should have beard of it had such been the case. Another
report, and more likely to be correct, was that the Doab is
to be formed into a divisional command, and that Brigadier
Wheeler would, in that case, be transferred to Mhow. The
tlth Irregular Cavalry marched, on the morning of the 16th,
under Capt. Holmes, towards Iturree-ke-Ghat, their new des-
tination, and the infantry and artillery of the Bundelkund
Legion had arrived from Ferozepore.—lbid.
Sir Henry Hardinge and a party who had gone on a trip
into the interior, returned to Simlah on the 16th, much grati-
fied with what they had seen during their absence. The
impression at head-quarters was that ar,..uts
„e 4„ inirrht be looked for hour y.—
