Lieutenant li. M. Durand, of the Bengal Engineers, to he
Private Secretary to the Governor-General.
Captain A. W. Fitzroy Somerset, Grenadier Gutirds, to he

Lieutenant W. J. Mackintosh, 43d Regiment of Bengal
Native Infantry G. A. BUSHBY,

Four WILLIA3I, FEB. 28.—The Right Hon. the Governor-
qeneri.l in Council directs that all distinctions and honours
which were paid to the Right Hon. the Earl of Auckland,
G. C. 13., when in office, shall be continued to his Lordship
during his stay in India. G. A. BUSHI3Y,
Secretary to the Government of India.
Lord Ellenborough's first levee was attended by at least 600
or 700 persons. His Lordship received them, as Lord Auck-
taut had p: eviously done, standin,, at the south end of the
Great Marble Hall, surrounded by his personal staff and secre-
tatiei, the Bishop, the Judges, the Members of Council, and
the Political Secretary, Mr. Maddock. The visitors were
everally presented by Captain Hillier, one of the Aides-de-
-1 camp to his Lordship, filing off the opposite side from that
whence they entered. There were many native gentlemen
present at the levee, but as it was intimated to them that they
would be presented on a future day (Saturday) they retired.

.It is a pity that it was not announced beforehand that only
Europeans would be received yesterday, as our native friends
are exceedingly annoyed at the manner in which they were ex-
cluded. Of the manner of the exclusion we shall say nothing;
because we have reason to believe that accident snore than de-
sign influenced the arrangement ; but we think it right to re-
mark upon the unwise confounding of the native gentlemen who
have always had the entree of Government-house by reason of
their intelligence, their wealth, and their public spirit, with the
Rajahs, Chieftains, Vakeels, and Baboos, who are asked to Dur •
bars as a matter of form. The privilege of mingling with the
European gentlemen at Government-how, and other public.
places, is valued by many of the natives, and we think it would
be most impolitic to break through the good feeling that was
created in Lord W. Bentinck's time, and has continued to exist
with so much advantage to the community in matters commer-
cial, educational, and municipal.

CHINA.
KOO-LUNG-SOO, DEC. 14, 1841.
The Jupiter troop-ship came into Amoy harbour yesterday
morning from Ningpo ; she brings the following items of
news :—.lst, That the Cameronians are to leave Hong-Kong so
soon as the weather will admit, and are to proceed to join Sir
H. Gough's head-quarters, calling for the detachment at Koo-
lung-soo in passing.-2d. That Commissioners have been sent
by the Emperor to Sir H. Pottinger, who refused to treat with
them, saying that he would negotiate with the Emperor per-
sonally at Pekin.-3. That the Grand Canal has broken its
banks, and that the neighbouring country is covered
with water and ice. The Jupiter will sail to-morrow
morning for Hong-Kong. To the inhabitants of this
island the last five weeks have been eventful, but
the matters which interest us, confined to a rocky
point of the globe some two miles by one, will scarcely
engage your attention, surrounded as you are by the allure-
ments of the City of Palaces ; nevertheless, I will turn to my
journal-book, and extract some few memoranda placed therein.
Imprimis, the weather has been variable, sometimes for two or
three days, the wind blowing strongly from the north, obliging
us to choose our winter clothing, and draw near the fire, the
thermometer falling to 53 ; then might follow an equal Dumber
dos-days,'lti .hieh the fickle metal would mount to beyond
70, and lastly, "the stealing shower is scarce to patter heard."
Ague is the only disease with which we are troubled. Quinine
soon puts this enemy to route, who frequently renews his at •
tacks, and in some cases manages to carry the citadel. I believe
that, at this moment, the sick in hospital are all doing well, and
might all be quickly at duty had the doctors plenty of quinine to
administer. In order to produce a variation in the St. Helena-
like monotony of the place, the officers of the garrison deter-
mined to form a race course, and to establish races ; horses
were procured from Amoy; and a small circular race-course
was planned and completed; the horses were put into training,
anti on the 6th inst. the first meeting was held and passed
off famously, affording enjoyment to all present. The Koo-
lung-soo races, if not the earliest races in China, are certainly
the earliest in a British colony in China. The second meeting
will take place on the first week in January, 1842. We con-
tinue to be supplied with the necessaries of life from Amoy, the
people of which city seem to be favourably inclined towards us.
One of the soldiers of the garrison, not long since, chose, for
some purpose, to cross over the arm of the sea which divides
us from Amoy, and was absent four or five days, after which
the Chinese themselves brought him back, having, in the
interim, according to the soldier's account, treated him almost
regally.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—Between nine and ten o'clock
yesterday morning, as a young man named Herbert, between
14 and 15 years of age, was proceeding along the New-road,
opposite St. Pancras Church, a dog ran between his legs and
threw him down, and, in falling, his right leg was bent under
him, and broke the larger bone just below the knee joint, one
of the ends of the fracture all but protruding through the flesh
and skin. He was d!rectly removed, in a cab, to University
College Hospital.
CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday afternoon an
inquest was held at the sign of the Green Man public-house in
Bedford-street, Covent-garden, before Mr. Higgs, the Coro-
ner for Westminster, on view of the body of Charles Pearce,
aged 68 years. The deceased was a pater in the employ of
Mr. Henry Weaver, of Knightsbridge, builder, and on the
morning of Monday week was at work at the house of Mr.
M' Connell, of New-street, Covent-garden, bookseller, and while
standing on a pair of steps at the height of about six feet from the
ground, he, by some means or other, fell off, and struck his
forehead with fearful violence against the curb-stone. He was
removed to the above hospital, where he lingered until Satur-
day evening last, when he expired. On a post-mortem
examination, his death was found to have resulted from a frac-
ture completely across the base of the brain, and there was also
an extensive laceration of the front part of the brain. The
deceased was a steady, well-conducted man, and his widow,
who was present at the inquiry, states that, during the 40 years
she had been married to him, she had never seen him intoxi-
cated. Verdict," Accidental death."
The General Steam Navigation Company's vessel,
the Ocean, Fife, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom-house
this morning with the Dutch Nail.

LITERARY ASSOCIATION OF
THE FRIENDS OF POLAND.

Tuesday being the anniversary uf the Polish Revolution
of 1791, the members of •the London Literary Associa-
tion of the Friends of Poland, held their annual meeting
at; the Susses Chambers, Duke-street, St. James's. The
chair was taken by Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, at three
o'clock, when there was a very numerous attendance of
members.

The NOBLE CHAIRMAN read the Report of the Coun-
cil, which stated that the present was the tenth annual
meeting of the Association, which was still assiduously
engaged in the objects which had called it into existence
—it was to promote the welfare of the refugees, and to
alleviate the sufferings of their exile. As the Govern-
ment still persisted in enforcing the rule which excludes
all those who have come here since 1838 from participa-
tion in the Parliamentary grant, there were now
Poles dependent upon the Association for stippos,
which was two inure than they had last yclis.
In June last the coffers of the Association were replen-
ished in the most gratifying manner, through the kind-
ness of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland. The cir-
cumstances were these: Mademoiselle Rachel was re •
quested to assist the Pules by a performance for C:eir
benefit, and she readily and gracefnlly acquiesced.—
(Applause.) But a difficulty arose because the pis':
selected was within the precincts of the Opera llosse,
which was quickly removed by the munificence of Cie
Duchess of Sutherland, and Stafford House was times o
open la ith a magnificence worthy of its Nohle
owners and of the noble cause. The Report proceeded
to eulogise in the warmest terms, the libeisdiLy
of Mademoiselle Rachel and Adelaide Kemple ;
several other artistes, (whose names the reporter did not
catch) all cheerfully volunteered their services, and cx
erted their utmost talents to grace the entertainment. It
should not be omitted that the celebrated pianist,
Liszt, who had received a serious injury in his wrist,
which obliged him to carry his arm in a sling, attended
at the fete notwithstanding, and delighted the company.
with his exquisite performance, although he could employ
but one hand. The admission was, originally, limited to
400, but the Duchess of Sutherland graciously allowed
the room to be enlarged, in consequence of applica-
tions by some of the most distinguished of the nobility- at
the last hour. The assemblage on the occasion
afforded a practical refutation of the assertion, that it was
only by the class which some were pleased to call low
Radicals the cause of the Poles was supported in this
country. That statement was as untrue as the opposite
assertion that the working classes of England felt no
interest in the cause—an assertion which also was dis-
proved by the fact that the late Mr. Cutler Ferguson
presented a petition to the House of Commons in favour
of the Poles, which was signed by 20,000 persons, chiefly
of the middle and working classes. There was another
gratifying feature in the entertainment at Staflbrd-house.
It was attended by the most distinguished Members of
the Conservative party, as well as of the Liberal, in the
House of Comtnons. Lord Melbourne, LOrd Morpeth,
and Mr. Labouchere were seen in the same group with
the Earls of liarrowby and Winchilsea, and other No-
blemen, who were then in the opposition. It was
also honoured by the presence of the uncle of the Queen
—a Prince whose patronage and active support was
never wanting, where the interests of humanity and
charity were concerned.—(Applause.) The Report
eulogized in flowing language, the graceful condecension
—the attentive hospitality—and the charming demean-
our of the Duchess of Sutherland throughout the even-
ing.. The clear proceeds of the fete were 876/., as the
Council were not allowed, by the Duke and Duchess,
to incur any expense, except that of printing the pro-
gramme and cards.—(Applause.) This accession to
the funds enabled the City Association to
render assistance to many of those depending on then; ;
but in the course of -the autumn it was found that
another effort was necessary to enable them to get
through the winter. An application was made to that
body, which never was applied to in vain—the Corpora-
tion of London, who gave up the Guildhall for an enter-
tainment, and the Council received the cheerful and
generous assistance of the most eminent singers, among-
whom were Miss Adelaide Kemble and Miss Rvin-
forth. To these and other performers who volun-
teered their services on the occasion, the Report
expressed the deepest obligation. This entertainment
realised 7361. The next part of the Report related to
a memorial, presented by the Duke of Sussex, in the
name of the Association, to the King of Prussia, on
behalf of those members of the Polish Emigration, who
were desirous of "going to those parts of their native
country which are included in his dominions. The
answer of his Majesty was, that such as were nativeS'of
the Grand Duchy of Posen had his permission to return
there; but he was prevented, by a treaty with the Emperor
of Russia, from extending the permission to such Poles
as were natives of the Russian dominions. Iler Ma-
jesty returned the answer to the Duke of Sussex, and
caused a similar one to be lhrwarded to the Council of
the Association. The Report dwelt with great satis-
faction upon the industry, the patience, talent, and good
conduct of the great body of the refugees in this country.
Although there was 500 of them, nearly half being of the
rank of private soldiers, during the whole of the last
year there were but four instances of these refugees being
taken before a Magistrate, and the most henious
offence with which these four were charged, was,
disorderly conduct, while in a state of intoxication
(Hear, hear.) Since the last annual meeting the hand
of death had taken from the Association six valuable
and honoured members—the lamented Dr. Birkbeek---
Mr. George Bell, the enterprising owner of the Vixen—
Mr. G. Ponsonby—Mr.Finlay—and the illustrious poet,
Niemciewitac, the friend and companion of Kosciusito,
who died recently at Paris, in the ei Jx',.y-feurth year
of his age. A subscription for a menninent, to ,be
erected in this country to the memory of the-reveled
poet, had been entered into, and the list bore-already
fifty-three names of distinction. The Council expect
that the cause would be much benefited by the motion
of which Mr. Gaily Knight had given notice in The
House of Commons, relating to recent acts of "titiociaus
cruelty perpetrated by the Emperor of RusSlisupon'the
Poles. Nineteen new members had been elected into
the Association within the course of the last year.
Amongst them were the Duke of Sutherland, Mr.
Sheridan Knowles, Lord Foley, and Lord Blaney. The
Association continued to provide for the educa-
tion of the children of the Refugees—(Applause)—and
in addition to the snbscription of 6601. for members, the
Council had received from the munificent Pre-
sident Mr. Wentworth Beaumont, the sum of 1501. to be
applied to education.

The meeting was then addressed, in eloquent and
energetic speeches, by Mr. Thomas Campbell, Colonel
Leicester Stanhope, Lord Charles Fitzroy, Mr. Abel
Smith, Lord Dudley Stuart, Col. Lach Szyrma, and
several other gentlemen.
Thanks were voted with much enthusiasm to the Duke
and Duchess of Sutherland, to the Common Council of
the City of London (amongst whom, Mr. Deputy Pea-
cock was named with particular honour) to the President,
Mr. Beaumont, and to Lord Dudley Stuart, and tho
other Vice-Presidents.

The officers for the ensuing year were then re-elected,
and the meeting separated.
