JULLUNDUR DOAB.

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 Dewar' Deena
Nath to induce them to surrender. That officer had reached
the camp on the 12th inst., and appeared very confident of
ultimate success. Oae 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 speedily concluded. The name of the Killedar is
Hunsraj.—Delhi Gazette, May 20.

NORTH-WEST PROVINCES.
Our latest Fertzopore letters are to the effect that secrecy
had been maintained to the last moment regarding the de-
parture of the Raja of Ladwa, and especidly 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 attemet 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-
ballah. He was to be at Dhurumcote on the 14th or 15th,
and is no doubt by this safely lodged at Loo ,iimale It is
stated in one of our letters that some Shroffs at that
place are likely to be proceeded against f r having sup-
plied the Raja with means during the war—a fact which,
it may be remembered, was Muted at by our na-
tive 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-
dianah towards Kangra ; they are under command of Lieut.-
Col. Wood of the artillery. The number of mortars sent
against the fort is tea. A report prevailed at Loodianah on
the 16th that Kangra had been surrendered, but we think
we should have heard 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
11th Irregular Cavalry marched, on the morning of the 16th,
under Capt. Holmes, towards Hurree-ke-Ghat, their new des-
tination, and the infantry and artillery of the Bundelkund
Legion bad arrived from Ferozepore.—lbid.
air Henry Hardinge and a party who had gone on a trip
into the interior, returned to Simlah on the 16th, much gra' i-
lied with what they had seen during their absence. The
impression at head-quarters was that accounts of the fall of
Kangra, or of its evacuation, might be looked for hourly.—

CALCUTTA MONEY MARKET.
Bengal ilurkaru Office, May 16, 1846.

The market remains without much alteration, but the approaching
opium sale, with another in prospect at a short interval, occasions a
brisk demand for accommodation.
Government Securities are steady at our quotations, the four per
cent. Company's loans being most in request.
Exchange is quiet, but we hear of bills being let off at from 2s. OM.
to 2s. id. at ten months' date.
Bank Stock is on the advance, with no great inclination to sell till
after the dividend in July.

cholera has yet taken place among the me to the 22d Regi-
ment, en route to Baroda, at which plcey are happily

numbers are still carried off every day ; the sufferings of the
