NORTH WEST PROVINCES.

We learned, soon afte r our paper was issued on Wednesday
last, that the Governor-General had so far arranged his Flans ,
as to ensure his arrival at Delhi on the 15th (this day). and
his departure hence on the 19th, in progress to Kurnaut, and
also that the camp had on the 12th reached Balirrittee
Kheree. We have further to record, regarding the move-
ments of his Excellency, that his camp reached Fureedabad
on the 13th, was yesterday at Kishendas-ka-talao (Sir Henry
himself going round to the Kootub), and reached Delhi this
morning abont half-past seven o'clock. The Governor-Gene-
ral passed through the town in his carriage (accompanied by
Mr. Metcalfe, agent to the Lieutenant-Governor) froir the
', end to the haslneer-gate. The police battalion were

his Excellency attended divine service (the prayers being

Monday morning a levee was held in camp for the receytic n

officers of the garrison, who seemed much pleased
with the inquiries made of them regarding the deco•

SINDE.
The intelligence from this province is comparatively
scanty, and discloses few points of interest to the home
reader. It would seem that Islam Khasi, a Boogtie chief,
who escaped to the northward on the discomfiture of Bejar
Khan and his associates, has at length consented to surren-
der himself to Captain Tabor at Shahpoor. The day ap-
pointed for this purpose was the 20th ult. ; but although he
had sent his seal to this officer as a pledge of his sincerity, it
was doubted by some whether he really intended to come in.
Good accounts are given of the health of the troops at Sukkur
and Shikarpore. A north-west Contemporary intimates that
General Hunter was expected at the latter place on the 10th
ultimo, and that it was supposed, from this movement, that
the General would remain an additional year in Sinde. Kur-
rachee, by the last accounts, continued perfectly healthy, and
the European denizens were looking forward with pleasure to
the setting-in of the cold weather. The station is a good deal
enlivened by amateur theatricals ; and the "Sinde Associa-
tion," the rules of which have just been published, bids fair to
become an object of interest both to the casual visitor and the
permanent resident at the seat of Government. This society,
if actively supported, will doubtless furnish the means of
elucidating much that remains obscure in the natural history
and antiquities of Sinde and Beloochistan. The 2d Cavalry
will return very shortly to the Presidency. The Meanee
medals were distributed to the Bth N. I. at a general parade
on the 20th, and the regiment left on the following day for
Surat, en route for Ahmedabad, the subjoined complimentary
order beingissued by Sir C. Napier, on the occasion of their
departure :
