The Duke of DEVONSHIRE, previous to his leaving
Hardwicke, gave a dinner to all his tenants in that
part of Derbyshire. Three tables were set the whole
length of the Hall, at which 250 persons at least
placed themselves. At the top of the middle table
wars a noble baron of beef, that weighed 20 stone,
which was carved by four persons appointed for that
purpose. After the cloth was removed, immense
bowls of punch were placed on the tables, and a band
of music played a variety of favourite pieces. After
the hospitable repast, a Ball was given to the wives
and daughters of the tenantry, which was opened by
his Grace and the Honourable Mrs. CAVENDISH.—
At twelve o'clock, the whole of the joyous company
partook of an elegant supper and desert, after which
dancing recommenced with additional spirit, and it
was nearly sir o'clock in the morning before the
festive scene closed.

Intelligence was on Saturday received from Cal-
cutta, by way of the United States, to the 16th of
August. At that period the place was still very
sickly. Produce, generally, was very high, owing
to large shipments to South America, the Persian
Gulf, and the short crops of cotton for the last two
years. Almost the whole of the last crop of cotton
had been purchased by the Company at an average
of upwards of twenty rupees per maund, and was
shipping to Canton. The crop then growing pro-
, mised to be large. The crop of indigo was expected
to be an average crop. Sugar and ginger were abun-
dant ; but the former was held very high, and large
sales making for the western parts of India and for
England. Cotton goods were unusually high. It was
understood that the Governor-General of India, the
Marquis of HASTINGS, was to return to England
about the close of the year. The United States fri-
gate Congress had been expected at Calcutta with
treasure from Manilla, in consequence of advices from
the latter place. The last advices from her stated,
that she was refitting at Pulo-Oar, and was expected
to return to Canton.
