" By order of the Ilon. the Governor-General of India in

" Secretary to the Government of India.
" Council Chamber, Fort William, Feb. 23, 1842."
Fortx WlLtinat, FEB. 28.—The Governor-General notifies
the following appointments :
Lieutenant H. M. Durand, of the Bengal Engineers, to be
Private Secretary to the Governor-General.
Captain A. W. Fitzroy Somerset, Grenadier Guards, to be
Military Secretary to the Governor-General.
The following gentlemen have been appointed Aides-de-
Camp to the Governor-General :
Lieutenant W. R. Harries, her Majesty's 43d Regiment.
Lieutenant C. J. Colville, her Majesty s 40th Regiment.
Lieutenant W. J. Mackintosh, 43d Regiment of Bengal
Native Infantry G. A. I3USHBY,
Secretary to the Government of India.
FORT WiLi.tAm, FEB. 28. The. Right Hon. the Governor-
General in Council directs that all distinctions and honours
which were paid to the Right Hen. the Earl of Auckland,
G.C.8., when in office, shall be continued to his Lordship
during his stay in India. G. A. BUSHBY,
Secretary to the Government of India.
Lord Ellenborough's first levee was attended by at least 609
or 700 persons. His Lordship received them, as Lord Auck-
land had previously done, standing at the south end of the
Great Marble Hall, surrounded by his personal staff and secre-
taries, the Bishop, the Judges, the Members of Council, and
the Political Secretary, Mr. Maddock. The visitors were
severally presented by Captain Hillier, one of the Aides-de-
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, ads intimated to them that they
would b© presented on a future day (Saturday) they retired.

It is a pity that it was not announced beforel'Awk I. that only
Europeans would be received yesterday, as our &eta fri
ends
are
are exceedingly annoyed at the manner in which they ,tvere ea"
eluded. Of the manner of the exclusion we shall say' DcrO. leg;
b.-cause we have reason to believe that accident more hart de-
sign ; but we think it right to rt '-
mark of the native gentlemen i
unflpoune'le theed' unwisetie arrangement r rari
confoundingetne n t
tit
hare always had the entree of Government-house by reason o4C
their intelligence, their wealth, and their public spirit, with the'.
Rajahs, Chieftains, Vakeels, and Baboos, who arc asked to Dur -
bars as a matter of form. The privilege of mingling with the
European gentlemen at Government-house, and other public
places, is valued by many of the natives, and we think it would
Le 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.
IWO-LUNG-SOO, Dxc. 14, 1841.
The Jupiter troop-ship came into Amoy harbour yesterday
morning from Ningpo ; she brings the following items of
news :-Ist, That the Cameronians are to leave Hong-Kong so
soon as the weather will admit, and are to proceed to join Sir
11. 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. 'l'o the inhabitants of this
island the last five weeks have been eventful, but
the matters which interest us, confined to a rocky
point o► 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 number
of dog days, in which 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 fith inst. the first meeting was held and passed
off famously, affording enjoyment to all present. The Koo-
ning-son races, if nut the earliest races in China, are certainly
the earliest in a British colony in China. The secesd meeting
will take place on the first week in January, 1842. We coo-
,
tinue to be supplied with the necessaries of life from Amoy, the
people of which city seem to be favourably inclined towards 114.
One of the soldiers of the garrison, not long since, chose, for
seine 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.
