In the afternoon I accompanic^i Mr. Master to pay a visit to the Naw&b, according to appointment We drove a considerable way through the city, then along a shabby avenue of trees inter- mingled with huts, tiien through an old brick gateway into a sort of wild kxAing close, with a large tree and some bushes in tbe centre, and ruinous buildings all round. Here was a comnunr o...f sepoys, drawn up to receive us, very neatly dressed and druled, being in fkct a detachment of the Company ^s local regimenti and assigned to the Nawgb as a guard of honour. In front was ano- ther and really handsome gateway, with an open gallery, where the " Nobut," or evening martial music, is performed, a mark of sovereign dignity, to which the Nawdb never had a just claitt, but in which Government continue to indulge him. If ere were the Nawab^s own guard, in their absurd coats and capd,* snd a crowd of folk with silver sticks, as well as two tonjons and chah- tahs, to convey us across the inner court This was a little laigCT than the small quadrangle at All Souls, surrounded witti low and irregular, but not inelegant buildings, kept neatlv, vcA all winle* washed.
