His Excellency the Viceroy and staff, together with the members of council, have lately ex' changed the stewy vapours of Calcutta for the grateful breezes of Simla, whither Lady Lawrence' had preceded them. His Excellency, accompanied by Miss Lawrence and party, paid a visit, en route, to his Highness the Maharaja of Vizianagram, at Monghyr, where his highness owns the well known house said to have been built at enormous cost bY' Warren Hastings when he was Governor General. Secretaries and heads of departments are following the Viceroy in rapid succession as the railway and transit service will admit of, and Simla will be the seat of the Supreme Government till such time 55 the approach of the rains renders a return to the plains desirable. The Lieutenant Governors of Bengal and the North West, with their respective esta,-, blishments, also retire for a time—the former to Darjeeling and the latter to Nynee Tal.

Mahableshwar, that rest which he must require. "A commercial crisis has been pending over Bombay during the past fortnight, owing to the lin' satisfactory nature of the telegrams from Great Britain.
