The berme feed low at first, sad whoa they got their range, as good leek would have it, the tide fell. 8o to them it must have appeared as if the ships rode end sank at prison, for as we fell with the tide their shot cut oar spa geed deal.

We is • very short time slimed the " Della " Stockade, and then took to shelling the forts en the other side of the river. The Yerose and &nostril were in like menu an the same affair, but we had the brunt of it, as old will tell 100 whoa he sees you. The slaughter was hum, imaU all the Stockades, and in some of them we found the poor devils made fast to their gems with their heads off, whether by shots or Mandarins' swords is another affair • but there they were. At night the howling of the dog: was most dismal. Here every hoose has a family of them, whir, like ests, stick more to the dwelling than the man who feeds there sad re yolk at sight raided for miles mad miles, sad mut have created • nasty emotion amongst the net of the Burmese troops for, by Bin the evening of Sunday, the 11th of April, all their steeled,, had been Swat and destroyed as far as the shippieg was cosseereed; sad the Stockade. of the others inland m well as the (heat Golden Pagoda was left to the soldiers. The Penne and ourselves had to proceed up to Kemmurise to the support of the Berpe.t and Phiegethon. However, the.. big steamers they dread, and so our friends the Burmese cut out of the stockade, and gave us the trouble of shelling and doming the pima with out • soul in it. The nest thing we did was to rill the new town and pagoda, and fur 48 hours the Burmese saw nothing but falling stars and bursting meteors. They certainly sisal have thought us devils, for shells, shrapnel!, car case, and rockets were falling all round them ; and the place actually stinks from the dead and dying. But on the fith the place was stormed and taken, and it was • pretty sight to see the Woongees, or ehieh, running about with gilt umbrellas, encouraging the fellows to fight, which they did right well, supported by some Bumper deserters. However, the thing as over, and no doubt the despatehes will tell for the rest. Since leav ing Madras we have been es it were in • whirlpool; and when we ceased firing the ether day it appeased unna tural. and having got rid of the troops the skip appeared deserted. We are now falling bar into our old ways. I fancy we shall be back with you by the riddle of May.

THE SCINDE PRIZE MONEY.-SIR CHAS. NAPIER AND THB EAST INDIA COMPANY' COURT OF QUIEN'S BENCII.-THIS DAY. &RINGS IN KOKO. THE QUEEN V. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. Mr. Serjeant Byles applied on behalf of Sir Charles James Napier fur a rule to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue sgainst the East India Company for the payment of a sum of 20,198 rupees, which was equal to 2,000/., improperly retained by the company from the pay of the gallant general. The learned serjeant said: In the year 1313 Sir Charles Napier con-. mended the government forces and the Company's furces in Scinde, and in the course of the campaign very cousiderable booty was captured, amounting in value to from four to five million,, apses. 'Chat sum was by royal warrant g ran tad to the Company for the purpose of distribution amongst the officers and soldiers. Before the distribution Sir Charli s returned to Englund, where he remained until the year 1849. Us. was in the early part of that year again sent to India. In May Sir Charles arrived in India, and in April, 1850, eur order was issued by the Indian goverumi vet respecting the distribution of the booty taken in Scinde The proclamations • which were promulated went on on to say that certain charges, to the extent of 2,0001., were to be debited from those who had received the Seinde prise money, and directing that the deduction should be made from the pay of the officer, who had re ceived it. In consequence of that order • portion of the pay of the officers was stopped for the months of May sad June • and against this proceeding Sir Charles Napier pro tested in his own name, and on behalf of the European officer' affected by it, for the native troops were nut in cluded in the order. In the protest it was stated that 20,000 rupees were to be deducted from Sir Charles Napier' and the officers' pay, which was equal to 2,0001. sterling, on account of the payment with respect to the booty taken in• Scinde, and on the ground that certain charges coeneeted with the state of affairs in Scinde had not been deducted. Sir Charles objected, on the ground that some of the officers were in England ; and, on the part of himself and the European officers, felt bound to protest against a deduc tion so unjust, and made with respect to booty taken and paid several years before. This protest was presented to the Indian government and the money was paid, but, in con sequence of an order from the company at home two other months pay was kept from the commissioned officers. Against this General Napier again protested. Subse quent) y Gen. Sir Charles Napier returned to England sad. applied (or his own pay and that of the other ofheen, and was refused, and therefore the present application was made, and which the general made not on his own account but on account of the officers of the army. The learned serjeaat said, in this state of things three queseions arose-Ist. Was there any right at all to recover the booty received and paid over ; 2nd, could any part paid be stopped from the pay; and, 3rdly, weather° any remedy but by mandamus, and if so, what was the remedy. As he had said, the gene ral had made the application on account of the Milan and not for himself, because his share of the &inde prise money was 613,0001., and all the interest he had in the present application wee as to his share of the 2,0001. If an action could lie against the East India Company, he would admit that he had no right to obtain a mandamus, but as it would not, be wu entitled to it. An action cuuld not be except on contract, and that contract must be under the seal of the corporation. The contract, if any, was one of imperfect übligation. Lord Campbell—lf it is a contract of imperfect obligation it !taunt be enforced on mandamus. Mr. &leant Byles contended that there could be no deduction of pay except where the officer was absent with out leave. Thom were all the &fitments he had to offer on the first head._ Lord Campbell said the court were of opinion those argumenta were not sufficient. Mr. Serpent Blies submitted that, if the court interfered at all by mandamus, it she uld be in a ease of this kiwi, where there was no rem,* at law. By the act of 'parliament the Queen lent her troops to the C. enpany, but the Company wu to pay for them, and where no action could lie, the only ruse 4 was by mandamus, and the court should remember that ea cheer's pay could not be stopped euept on the grenade that he had mentioned. Lori: Campbell said the bilge would take time to iiin; eider whether they wadi great the rule. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.

POSTAGE LABEL STAXPB.—On Saturday the report of the committee on this matter was issued. It states that they have examined numerous witnesses, and are of opinion that the perforating of the postage stamps would be a great convenience and advantage to the public, and t4at it would be for the general benefit that the machine of the patentee should be Furthered for the use of the public. hey reemessiend that a negotiation should be opened with r. Archer by the proper department of the government or the rupee, mid that if he be willing to part with his = a rt his rights as a patentee, such reaso na bl e ma to he paid in the manner to be agreed upon, as the government shall determine shall be assigned him, either by absolute purchase or by • per eentage on the amount of perforated stamps sold. The committee call the attention of the house to the opinion contained in sise port of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, dated 27th August, 1860, that the application of the perforating machine would afford additional security against forgery, inasmuch as the accurate perforation of counterfeit sheets would be a work of great difficulty, and sheets not accu rately perforated would at once excite suspicion if offered for sale. With regard to printing the postage labels much conflicting evidence has been given as to the greater or less security against forgery afforded by copper-plate engrav ing than_ by the surface printing. The comm i ttee d o not feel qualified to pronounce a decision on this techni cal point ; but since it is stated by all the witnesses that considerable saving might be effected by the adoption of surface printing, the subject appears worthy of being re ferred to the investigation of competent persons. Appended to the report are the minutes of the proceedings of the committee, from which it appear. that considerable differ ence of opinion prevailed in considering the adoption of the report, which was ultimately agreed to by six to three, out of a committee of 15. It was proposed to examine Mr. John Greene, one of the members of the committee, but the question—" forged postage labels having, to Mr. John Greene 's knowledge, paned through the post without de tection, Mr. John Greene be examined thereon," was nega tived by 4to 2. The evidence, which is rather voluminous, will be published in • few days.

THE SCIENCE OF CANDLE-BURNTllo.—Bofore yon put your candle out, look at it. It has been burning some time unsnuffed, and gives little or no light: the wick is long, and is topped II a heavy black clot,—e, lump of on. consumed carbon. Take the candlestick in your hand, and move it gently from side to side; the superfluous wick burns away, and the candle is again bright. When you ask yourself why this is, you learn that flame is hollow, and as it admits no oxygen, *bleb Is necessary for combustion, the wick which it surrounds remains nr.consumed, and diminishes the light. When the name, by motion, leaves the wick exposed at intervals to the oxygen of the atmosphere, it speedily burns away. ?lota the valuable deduction from this fact—the formation of a wick which constantly turns outward and reaches the exterior air, and so gives us a candle Inquiring no snuffing. There is much philosophy in the burning of a candle. The wick you may think is in- I I tended to burn and give light ; but this is not exaetly t h e fact. The wick is simply to bring the molted t a ll ow , or o il, if in a lamp, into that 6sely divided state in which it is best fitted for combustion. The heat applied so "light" the candle decomposes into its constituents the small quantity of tallow next the wick: heat and light are produced in the operation, and the heat so produced carries On the decom position.— The Builder. __ • ~~
