H. C. Pilot and Light Vessels. 

 I have obtained through the zealous aid of my friend, Captain Clap- 

 perton, Acting Master Attendant, very full returns from all the H. C. 

 Pilot and Light Vessels, which will be found embodied in the general 

 Tabular statement, and duly referred to in the summary at the con- 

 clusion. 



From A. C. Barwell, Esq. Salt Agent, Hidgelee.

Cloudy and heavy showers all day from E. 

 Ditto ditto and strong breezes E. and 



N. E. 

 Ditto and constant ditto from N. and 



N. W. varying to S. W. ; at 4 p. m. 

 Showery and clearing up, wind S. W., 

 Squally and heavy showers from S. W., 

 Cloudy now and then, drizzling rain S. W. 



The gale here, I imagine, was not in violence to be compared with 

 what took place in Calcutta and its neighbourhood, and was attended 

 with very little mischief.

 Agent, Hidgelee Department.
