The following is from our Calcutta correspondent :

CALCUTTA, Nov. 6.—With the exception of Lahore,
there is no place whence political news may be looked
for, and since last mail nothing of importance has trans-
pired to demand prominent notice, but such as they are
will be found noted:below.
The cold weather was setting in about the 15th at
Delhi, and officers who had been on leave were hasten-
ing to join their corps at limbollah. The 36th Regi-
ment of Native Infantry had just got percussion mus-
kets previous to their march towards the scene of war-
like operations. A great number of sepoys, :who had
gone on leave, were also seen to pass through Delhi to
join their regiment OR the frontier. 500 bullocks, 150
hoskeries, and 150 camels, loaded with magazine stores,
had lately been dispatched from Delhi to Fe rozepore.
The Governor-General reached Agra on the 17th.
From Moul-maque papers of the 22d inst. it appears
that the Prince of Prome, who had failed in bisirevolt, had,
with all his family, been beheaded ; that Tharrawaddie,
who is stated to be raving mad, is in close confinement, '
and that the old King has been put upon the throne.
The present Ministers are sensible, liberal-minded men,
and everybody looks forward with hope, the present
epoch being hailed as the dawning of a happier era than
has blessed the Burmese for many years. Accounts from
Lahore have been received to the 12th inst. They con-
tain nothing of importance. So far, the anticipated dis-
turbances had not taken place, and the Ranee seems to•
retain her influence over the troops, who are committing
the usual amount of atrocities, and do whatever they
please—take whatever they want from whosoever they
choose, and ill-treat everybody who does not comply with
their demandtast,chtohwatevrer

Accounts from
Peshawtir state
tie was Captured, and the belief in his existence has
. become sttonger ever in Lahore: On the other hand,
there is ftason to believe that he has beets sent prisoner
to some fortress instead of being on his way to Lahore.
The articles of the Delhi Gazette of the 29th ultimo are
pacific; but it appeitra ifhpf bbablh that out Government
Can remain quiet spectators to, the unruly clottlinition of
the Seikla soldieryi Who; ttidughOey personally treat the
itaiiee with respect, are ptrtectly insubordiniittal Mid dis-
miss their commanding and other
officers at pleasure, and
whose unceasingly expressed wish is to be allowed to in-
vade our territories. It is quite impossible that Sir
Henry liardinge can quietly stibtbit tli, watch the move-
ments of the disorderly Seikh troops with a large force,
at an enormous expense for another year, as is supposed
by the editor of the Delhi gcTite. If tilt 5445 do make
the attempt; they *ill not, or course, o, fly to
attack our forces at Ferozepore and elsewhere, but will
endeavour to give our troops
.the slip, which they can
easily do, and in sepiirti,,te accomplish rtrl amount
of havock tleViStation in tne course
.of a, f6* days
among the defenceless.inhabitants of the'rntinti:y south of
the Sutlej, which'it will take a generaildri to
,repair:
Government has sanctioned the foundation of a
college at Kishnagur, in the district of Noddle.,
.and in-
timation has been given that pupils .be admitted on
the Ist of November. All boys, without reference to
etnashtee othreteslaitelia, :lba? admitted, and the course of study
the liinclo9 Colle e.
Yearly examinations:are'to take place, wnett echolarsnips
are to be awarded to the most deserving. Zillah schools
have also been established in various Zillah& . At a
meeting held at Allaliabad, on the 15th of September,
cditorme;ma.s proposed to establish aproprietat'y college in Li'ng-
land for the exclusiveDanapEoeo.driul_c a..
