NORTH WEST PROVINCES.

_ .
We learned, soon after our paper was issued on Wednesday
last, that the Governor-General had so far arranged his y lane
as to ensure his arrival at Delhi on the 15th (this day). and
his departure hence on the 19th, in progress to Kurnaul, and
also that the camp had on the 12th reached Balla:ince
Kheree. We have further to record, regarding the move-
ments of his Excellency, that his camp reached Fureedal..lad
on the 13th, was yesterday at Kishendas-ka-talao (Sir H3nry
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) from the
Delhi to the Kashmeer-gate. The police battalion were
drawn up inside the Delhi gate to receive the cortege. At
the Kashmeer gate, his Excellency was received by Ma cr-
General Hodgson, mounted his horse, and rode up tc his
camp beyond the lines in cantonments. The 6th Irregu:at
Cavalry were drawn up outside the Kashmeer , gate
salute of nineteen guns was fired there, and a secont, on
Sir Henry Hardinge reaching his tents. The infantry
regiments forming the garrison were drawn up in single files
on either side the road this side of cantonments. 1.1 he
cortege bore greatly the appearance of the peculiar character
which distinguishes the present Government ; quiet and
steady, while the numerous escort spoke of firmness and
decision.—Delhi Gazette, Nov. 15.

whilst here. On Saturday afternoon the young Nawab of
Jujjur (Rho had in the course of the morning been invested
with his Khelut by the agent of the Lieutenant-Governer at
his Kutcheree), the Raja of Bullurnghur, and Matmra,a
Hindoo Rao, were received at a special durbar. On Sunday
his Excellency attended divine service (the prayers being
read by Mr. Metcalfe, in the absence of the chaplain). On
Monday morning a levee was held in camp for the recei tic .n
of the English gentlemen of Delhi, and of the tati,7e
officers of the garrison, who seemed much pleased
with the inquiries made of them regarding the deco-
rations worn by them. About two his Excellency hi.!,l a
durbar for the reception of those native gentlemen wire
had been summoned. In the evening his Excellency en-
tertained the chief military officers, the staff, and
the whole of the civil residents at Delhi, at &mien

Delhi, riding out daily, and early in the morning for the
purpose. The camp moved this morning en route to hur•.
naul, Sir Henry Hardinge being, till the evening, a guest of
Mr. Metcalfe's. The general impression in the camp is that
" peace will be maintained," but we are greatly mist/win

MADRAS.
We learn with great satisfaction that the Most NoblE the
Marquis of Tweeddale has contributed the sum of 1:.,(01
rupees towards establishing the proposed Collegiate Insti-
tution, based on Christian principles. All honour to be
Lordship for this truly munificent donation, which we t,cpe
will lead to proportionately liberal contributions from tome
of those who occupy high places in the land, and cannot but
feel it incumbent on themselves to support an undertaking sc
eminently calculated to serve the East Indian commttnitV.
who have most laudably come forward in proportion to theit
limited means in contributing to the establishment of the I to-
posed Collegiate Institution.
Up to this time no favourable change in the state of the
weather in our quarter has taken place, but as the great turst
of the monsoon occurred last year during the month or 111
cember, we may still cherish a hope of seeing the much de-
sired fall. Spectator, Nov. 20.

It affords us pleasure to learn that the head-quarters ol
the 41st Regiment N. I. reached Vizagapatam on the 19th,
after a voyage of 14 days, ail being well. The •vessel.

taining the remainder of the corps had not come in when t tie
news left.

There was intelligence received from Golconda on the IA h,
which announced that heavy firing had been heard in t!
neighbourhood. No report of the cause or result had,
ever, come in. The supposition is that our troops had tit
countered some obstacle which required to be overcome. It
seems probable that the business in that quarter will engage
attention for some time to come, particularly on account w
the sickliness of the season.
