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 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 speedily concluded. The name of the Killedar is
Hunsraj.—Delhi Gazette, May 20.

NORTH-WEST PROVINCES.
Our latest Ferozopore letters are to the effect that secresy
had been maintained to the last moment regarding the de-
parture of the Raja of Ladva' 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 attempt 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 Loodianab, 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 Lovlianah. It is
stated in one of our letters that some Shroffs at that
place are likely to be proceeded against fl having sup.
plied the Raja with means during the war—a fact which,
it may be remembered, was hinted 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 ten. 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 Ilurree-ke-Ghat, their new des-
tination, and the infantry and artillery of the Bundelkund
Legion had arrived from Ferozepore.—Thici.
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 accounts of the fall of
Kangra, or of its evacuation, might be looked for hourly.—
