The only news of any political importance thew
| convey, Is that of the surrender of Kote Kangra
which was given up Internationally on the 18th
| May. The British troops arrived before the for
tress on the 2Sh Of May, with 5000 men and 30
pieces OF artillery, and have returned home under
difficulties which have rarely attached to such an
expedition. No sooner had they arrived ut their
destination, and manifested their intentions, than
the garrison threw down their arms and surren-
dered at discretion; nay, followed up their SUBJ
| mission by the most anxious desire for the pro-
lection of the British authorities. The Governor
General and Commander-in-Chief continue at
Sima; the latter is about to inspect the stations
on the Jullindar Doab, and viii probably visit
Lahore.
In the Sikh capital, the formation of govern
ment is proceeding slowly enough; the refusal of
the Rajah of Moultan to pay his usual tribute, or
acknowledge his liabilities, will probably test its
| real power. He appears to have been disposed
to negotiate, and to have offered E5OO0O sterling
in liquidation Of his liabilities; the result of this
dispute will afford some notion Of the strength
ofthe Lahore government.
In Scinde, the measures of Sir Charles Napier
appear to have produced the best effect.

INDIAN CoRN.-Thc anticipated total faiiure of
the potato crop in England, Ireland, and Scot
| land, has caused the price of Indian corn to rise
from zos t! T Us quarter, during the last three
sad to be very small. We expect that America
will be enabled to reap golden harvest in the
sale OF this article in England
ORHTHoLoGY.- John Audubon, the son of
the distinguished American naturalist, has re-
Gently arrived in England for the purpose of tax
ing drawings OF some specimens Of American
animals in the collections in this country, in order
to complete the work on the quadrupeds of Ame-

and those brought home by the expeditions in
search of a northwest passage. One specimen
IN the British Museum is supposed to be unique.
, LORD ELeIN, GOVERNOR OF CANApA.-We have
the qualification OF announcing the appointment
Of Lord Elgin as governor-genera OF Canadian
appointment which affords the highest satisfac-
ton in England. We know it will be matter OF
serious regret to the people of Jamaica that his
Lordship does not return to resume his Office in
that colony, which he has fulfilled in way that
has commanded the esteem and respect of all
parties. Jamaica will long bear traces Of the be-
nefts conferred upon it BY Lord Elgin, by the en-
courageinent and AID which his Lordship gave to
agricultural Improvement, and which, at the pre-
sent moment, must prove of the most important
service. The nice discrimination and other high
qualities which Lord Elgin has displayed for the
duties OF colonial governor, especially recon-
mend hum to the important post of governing the
North American colonies. This appointment
fleets great credit on the WING government ofthis
| country, as 1t is well known that Lord Elgin is
particularly opposed to the administration OF Lord
| John Russell The selection has been made sole
y in reference to his Lordship's qualifications for
the discharge of this distinguished post.-Lauo-
