_December_ 28, 1849 .-- Twelve miles to Hundore, over a country more undulating and better cultivated than any we have seen since we recrossed the Goomtee river at Sultanpoor.

It all belongs to the Rajah of Pertabghur, Shumshere Babadur, a Somebunsee, who resides at Dewlee, some six miles from Pertabghur.

He seems to have concentrated there all the beggars in the country, and there is not a house of any respectable to be seen.
