Ir government, and the East India Company, and the Wsr-offioe had entered into a plot to disgust the people of this country with war—with the instru ments and the mode with which it is carried on— they certainly could not have combined a more horrid and revolting spectacle than that offered by the mili tary event, of the Punjaub. Here are Englishmen and an English army, in the nineteenth century, making war in the same savage way as the first barbarians that clothed themselves in skins. If war could by any means be ennobled or excused, it would be as a science, which decided conflicts with insignificant loss of human life, which conquered by skill and by the application of the mind to strategy. But here we see 24,000 men, under Bri tish colours, flung rather than led into a jungle by a blundering general, from the mere impulse of haste and passion, without judgment or preparation, or manceuvre or idea, ordered to conquer, by brute force, and met by be:bedews, who showed far more skill and coolneie—they could not show more courage. The jungle of the Jhelum presented the aspect of the Roman circus on a fete day, that of an idle and Indiscriminate butchery, disgraceful to a civilised country and to a government that profitless@ to suer deeiscsel:mbratse h a s kn o wn prdence and foresight.

And nose can so tally tell his merits as Lord HAILDINGE, who was by his side in the memorable battles on the Sidle& But such is our stupid machinery of govment, that incapacity and 311, even if seen and admitted, cannot be removed or ob viated. Common sense and common :amour de mended that the superannuated FArniggrons should sot be left in command at Cahoot. He was left, and thousand' upon thousands were the victims. And now we have again the same fatuity. Th. Dube of Wausecrron is known to have warned the India Company of the incapacity of Lord Gomm : the India Company admitted it, but objected to the eneoemor who was recommended. in the con flict of the two authorities, Lord Clouon was left in the comma witha civilian Governor-General, and of course uncontrolled and unadvised to perpi7- trate the saerifios of British life, British interests, and British honour. If there was conscious spirit and patriotism in parliament,. it would institute an inquiry into the causes which maiatainedso incepable &general in command, and which has lea to seal an appalling and distressing saeritioe. Little do we wonder that pesos societies are mul tiplying and meeting throughout the land, that the old admiration for heroic achievement is fait being by disgust, that the profession dthe 2l soldie r is fast falling into disrepute, sad that the belief is gaining ground that war is rained, end battles fought, by personages high in command, more for the gratification of their ambitice, their avarice, or their excitement, than for the only legiti mate end for which any war ls allowable—Mime if the empire and its interests. When the maw of details is somewhat reduced to order, the action of the 13th Janesay, called by dif ferent authorities, the battle if Jhelum or of Rue- soolpoor, or of Lifillianwalhel, appears to p have taken' place maw the Mowing sionmiiiiess. U to the 1 lth at January the grand easy, igeleg to about 24,000 men, with 120 piens of emus. ned in their en trenched camp at Heylaken the right or western bank of the Chew* and at a Aimee el about eighteen miles from the position COSOUlled by Bum Surou, i n the don vicinity of the Jbeirs. The ems of optes ti ono , therefore, was the moll tract at sonniz enclosed by the two rivers Chew& end h known as the Dash of Jirhut. The j ags astiM tbb doah is one of extreme sterility. It is described as stretching before the eye of a spectator beholding it from the Salt Range in one monotonous plain, broken only by a solitary eminence of mean elevation above the town of Loll's. --- Ho'hing (slid Sir Alexander Burma, in 1834) eon be more miserable than the country bete/ma the Meares (Cheasub) and the Hydaspes (Jhelum), a sterile waste of anderweed, the abode et shepherds, scantily supplied with water, which is sixty-five het below the surface. The Jhelum and the Chimanb are each of them con siderable streams at that point of their course opposite to the encampments of the hostile armies". The Cho naub at Ramnuggar—the parities' in the rear of Lord Gouon, at which he has constructed a bridge of boats, to keep open his communication with the capital and the frontier—is in the dry pigeon about three hundred yards wide, and nine fret deep, but with only a slug gish corrupt. The Jhelum, at Julalpoor, near wh ich place the Sikhs have also constructed a passage, was found by &mimosa in the monsoon season to be one mile and one furlong in width, with a depth of about twelve feet, and under the influence of a cur rent which ran with strength and velocity. The description of Sir ALEXANDER BURNES as to the barrenness of this region has been entirely con firmed by the circumstances of the present campaign. Every kind of provender is described as being ex ceedingly scarce, and the commiserziat department of the army as receiving little assistance within the im mediate range of the camp. On the 12th January it would appear, in consequence of a consultation with Sir HENRY LAWRENCE, who had joined the commanderin-chief on the 10th from Lahore, and from the camp of the Governor-General, at Nlukkoo, the entire army were ordered to march in the direction of the enemy. The march continued, with one or two brief periods of halt, through a level country, more or less encum bered with jungle, until eleven o'clock on the morning of the 13th January, when a portion of the force came up with an outpost of the enemy, who, after fi n''ngag a few shots, were effectually driven in by a detaehsesnt of artilleu. This appears to have been the commencement of the errors which prevailed to the end of the day. Instead of pursuing his march upon Rummel, the original desti nation of the army, Lord Govan suddenly altered his arrangements, apparently under an un prenion that the main body of the Sikhs were close at hand, and, after changing the position of his brigades, directed the day camp to be immediately pitched. This was about two o'clock. The order was scarcely Woad when a volley of round shot from the enemies' gnus came rattling into the camp--eome of them pitching very near to the oommandm•-in-chief. It is alleged that Lord GOUGH became exceedingly enraged at this seemingly very common occurrence. He is said to have declared that he would forthwith sweep the Sikhs from the face of the earth. It is quite certain, however that without any preparatory reoonnoisanite, a gene ral attack upon the enemy, wherever they might happen to be found, was in stantly directed. Pending the arrangement of the troops, the artillery of both armies, for the space of an hour or more, kept up a vigorous exchange of shot— it does not appear, however, that the firing on either side produced much effect. About four o'clock, therefore, in the afternoon the action virtually eommenced by an advance of the left wing of the British army under Gen. CAMPBELL. In this advance the troops became exposed to the firs of several Sikh batteries, and aided by the difficulties of the jangle, the ignorance of the British of the dis position of the enemy, and the absence of any effeo toal provision for following up the attack of our own infantry, the brigade of Gen. CAMPBELL, after a most brilliant display of valour, were compelled to fall back upon the main body. It was in these ope- rations that her Miqesty's 24th regiment of Foot sus tained their severe lose_ lose without any parallel in Indian warfare, if we except the annihilation of the 44th Foot in the retreat from Cabool. Out of a force 0(800 men, the 24th regiment have sustained a lose in this single en t of 10 officers killed, and 13 wounded; of 218 soldiers tilled and 244 wounded. A total, therefore, of 485 men placed hors de combat out of 800 is the result in one single regiment of the disastrous arrangements of Lord GOUGH. Precisely the same gallant conduct and the same unfortunate issue distinguished the attacks made by the centre and the right Wing of the British— although in none of the other regiments engaged was the sacrifice of life so great as in the 24t1s. The cavalry posted on the extreme right of the line, con sisting of the 14th Light Dragoons and the 6th Ben gal Cavalry, appear from some cause or other to have 6.11 m into a momentary confusion, and are said to have retired from the field in great disorder. There is the most abundant evidence, however, that along the whole of the line extreme embarrassment and severe loss were occasioned by the total ignorance of the British officers of the posture of the enemy's deftness and of their character; by the obstacles of the angle; and by the absence of any adequate degree of concert between the several divisions and the various services of the army. And when we are informed that the position of the Sikhs extended over a front of three miles in extent, was dotted with batteries at most irregular intervals, and that in many plasm the jungle was so thick as to separate and mistime with the order of the advancing columns, we sea be at no loos to understand that the battle under circumstances in the highest degree to the assailants. When daylight was expended both armies retired to their original encampments; and although it is true that the Sikhs have subsequently taken up a position nearer the Jhelum, it cannot be said that their strength is in any essential respect impaired by the action of the 13th of January. They lost but twelve of their own guns, and they captured four of ours"; and it is at best bat doubtful whether the castilties in their camp are heavier than those in our own. Lord Goons remains at the head of an army of 20,000 men, and he has before him an enemy of 40,000 or 45,000 men, every way prepared to dispute his posseesion of the country. The final occupation of 3fooltan will set at liberty a force of 17,000 mon, after leaving 3,000 as a garrison and, proceeding up the right bank of the Jhelum, this extensive reinforcement may perhaps reach the neighbourhoodof PIXDDADEEN KHAN by a three weeks' march. But the future conduct of the war. any more than , the past, is not a question of numbers. It fa a ques tion of generalship.

ALTHOUGH we were the first, and we believe the only ens, of the London journals which published a full report of the York and Newcastle Railway meet ing, we are notOrorry at beans the last to lift up a stone for the lapidatios of Mr. HUMOR.

The deep of fame and wealth used, however, to be tedious to dimb. Mr. HUDSON carried it by a coup-de-main.

Whilst the *ty with which this emcee wee mom • , and the magnanimity which prompted Mr. UDOON to make, or to try to make. others Parti cipate in his fortune and profit by his equity, gave him an unexampled popularity in his own maned world. The fret misfortune and blow to Mr. 14oneon's mercantile reputation was, that he promised too much, and that, having fallen on evil and trying times far the co mpletione of efperlments and curse, only to be worked with the high presure of active prosperity, he appears in the light of a charlatan, wart lben in hb real character, a man sanguine and THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 5, 1849. vain, betrayed by both qualities to hope and to premier what be mold never perform. These is a paulierity to be remarked in the ties of moseyed men of late. This- is that the new mode of asquiriN wealth hes given tbsm fa' mere direct and eztssevs ;aflame one; and summand ot men that any ottbe old modes of enrichment by trade in either merchandise or money. The nabob or the capitalist, the snooeinful manufacturer or merchant, had in gene ral to purchase political influence if he ambitioned it I bat the lord of a dozen railroads, the sovereign of their host of employla, and the wielder to some extent of their capital, snoteeded at once to political influence, and competed with the old electoral monopoly, which the land and its owners had hitherto enjoyed, In each a position one might have expected to see Mr. HUDSON join the party and assume the policy most natural to the noel homines, who rise by their own exertion. Mr. Hutson preferred inscribing his name, and uniting his influence along with those, the interests and ideas of whom and of whose class were most diametrically opposed to his. Bo unexpected an adhesion won of counts the gratitude of the Tories. And, from the field-marshal who bowed in the saloons of Mr. HUDSON and took his lady by the arm, down to the Mem who patted Mr. HUDSON on the shoulder and frenetically sup ported his first electioneering straggle, no monarch enjoyed more unquestionably all the honours and loy alty of conservative courtiers than the Railway King. Mr. HUDSON is now in a condition to test the tote door of his choice. What journal has been the first to fling a stone at him ? That one on which he lavished all confidence, and which adulated him in turn. What party is the first to exclaim against him, and exaggerate his peccadilloes into flagrant crimes ? —But it may be said that the aristocracy, the men of hereditary delicacy and honour, must naturally thrust from amongst them, even on the first suspicion, the man, much more the percents, who has shown want of delicacy in the handling of money. L the English aristocracy so very severe to de faulters of their own cute? Has the breath not merely of calumny, but of justly conceived suspicion, never tarnished characters, which have still succeeded from mere force ofoonnexion in retaining their polish? Have noblemen never been black-balled five times at their own club houses, and been admitted at last, each stigma not branding the deeper, but acting as a purgatorial infliction to whitewash, if not to excul pate. The worst feature, perhaps, in Mr. HUDSON'S case is the acknowledgment of wrong-doing, implied in his offer to refund. Have noble and honourable gentlemen not been charged in the same way, and extricated themselves by the same offer? And is there to be one code of honour, and one tribunal of conscience for the high-barn and another for the base-born ? And is the ress to auction this difference, and panda to the worst of class privileges by screening the noble, whilst it hoists up Instanter, and without trial, to the lanthorn pest the merely monied aristocrat, who makes a mistake in his fingerment of pelf ? We must own, however, that in the present cue the game-cocks of birth and breeding may crow over their dunghill acquaintance for the want of pluck that he has shown. Bat attacked and affronted on what he might well consider hie own farm-yard and barn door in the north, it is no wonder he should shrink from appearing in a pit composed of less friendly per sons, naturally inclined to turn upon one who had promised so much in happier days, and who now came down with the plain statement of a reduced dividend. i'reriiiist not, however, judge of railway kings es we do of feudal monarchs, by their prowess. Let us simply state the charge, whilst awaiting the explana tion. The imputation against Mr. HUDSON is, that certain moneys having been raised bythe York, New castle, and Berwick Company to purchase shares in another °mama numbtr of such shares were bmght at a price above the current market value ; and that of these overpaid spares • considerable quantity be longed to Mr. HUDSON, the chairman of the buying concern and the directs. of the process, who thus made his company pay for them moro than they wore worth. To this charge nothing yet has been publicly offered in the way of denial or expla nation. It is impossible to hear such a case stated, without asking where were the other members of the board of directors, who might or ought to be aware of such a transaction, which must have been done in the expectation that it would have been slurred over, and tacitly allowed as a kind of premium for benefits conferred. In all this the laxity of others is to blame as well as the unsorapolousnees of the chair man. It is a painful subject, and °news should try to consider dispassionately. The work of vengeance and slaughter we must leave to the Times, ever ready to enact the part of executioner.

FRANKFORT.—Letters and journals of the Ist inst. have come to hand from this city. It would appear by the Muted*. Zeitung that the French government are not unwilling to give up to the eentral executive the te e rs (now detained at Verdun) who are accused of ' accomplices in the murder of Prince Lich no and Herr Auerswald in Frankfort in Sep. amber last. So soon as the central executive received notice that the Danish government would not renew the treaty of Malmo, a courier was sego to London with despatches, in Ain (as asserted) 11 was stated that the continuance of the truce was the conduit, tine qwd mom of the continuance of the negotiations for a final peace. It may be added here, that the note of the Danish government was a very courteous one. On the Ist inst. the National Assembly voted the 13th and 14th notions of the law of elections.

The body having . been brought from Munster, was laid d ur i ng the night at the foot of the cathedral altar. The cere mony (of which es much as could be seen outside the church an immense crowd were early assembled in the Lustgarten to witness) began at nine o'clock. The tolling of bells and discharges of cannon end musketry heralded the lamp. It will be interesting to English reader' to know that among the insignia laid upon the coffin were the Order of the Bath and the medal struck for the Seikh campaign. By theme were laid the prime's sabre, mash, and gloves, with the chain and ribbon of the Order of the Black Eagle. At the head of the coffin was plead the crown. The King and Queen were chief mourners. It is needless to add that all thi a % dignitaries were present. Among the crowd • a general feeling of oompammon for the Te d father, Prince William, the King's uncle. In the Wiener Zeitung appears • singular docu ment published by the Rowan General Ja ngs ih a d ti l at Kronatadt, after his return to that city, on th e 9th, from chasing the Tanks over the Alt. In this he declares the report spread by certain of the citizens that he had quarrelled with the Austrian General &harder, and contemplated the withdrawal of his troops from the place, to be " an infamous and absurd lie: for," he adds, " even if I had quarrelled with the Austrian general, I should nevertheless remain for the protection of this city, eueb.being the supreme will of my emperor and lord." The insolence with which the Russian general goes oat of his wiy to set at defiance any objection on the part of Austria to the occupation of a part of its dominions by Russian troops has drawn very general attention here. Meanwhile we hear this morning that the Russian troops leaning on the Prussian frontier are being withdrawn, and that the cabinet of Petersburg is giving symptoms of a friendly approximation towards Prussia. The prohibition of the exportation of cattle and horses was withdrawn some time ago. Great activity not withstanding prevails in the Prussian war-office ; and the Russian occupation of Transylvania is a subject of anxious observation in diplomatic circles. An extra ordinary envoy has been sent to Olmiitx to assure the Austrian government of the friendly dispositions of Prussia, and to urge it to make fresh efforts to come to an understanding on the subject of the German union. The chambers met for the second time this morn ing, bet their prooeedings regarding mere formalities have as yet no interest for the public, further than as shadowing forth vaguely the comparative strength of parties. The emend chamber is split as nearly as possible into two equal halves ; a central party of some 20 or 30 hold the balance between right and left. sometimes throwing their weight into one scale and sometimes into the other. Thus, yesterday, within a few minutes a victory on the side of the left was fol lowed by one on the side of the right, the majority not exceeding the minority by more than six votes in either case. An emphatic declaration, accepting the octroyed constitution as the genuine law of the realm, and pro posing on the revision of the same to stick fast to the principles of constitutional monarc h under the house of Hohenzollern, has received a many sig natures on the right. Beckerath an Jahn, now at Frankfort, ars to be brought forward with the town syndic Moewes, as candidates for the representation of the third electoral district in the Second Chamber. In the First Chamber the decided Right, under Professor Stahl, seems to have coalesced with the right centre, under Von Bonin. No such union is visi ble between the left and the left-centre. The ex treme left is composed of some 6 or 8, among whom are Graff, Zenker, Szumann, Brodowsky, Potwo rowsky, and Mantrach. The public is apathetic to the last degree as to what the Chambers are about. There were hardly half a dozen spectators at the door of either Assembly to day; it is by no means difficult to procure tickets of entry to the tribunes, which are not half filled. Far the rut, the people's chamber, so murmured about, looked to me extremely comfortable, well lit, and warm. The motion of Viebshn, which I described yesterday, was carried t o- day by a majority of 169 spinet 148. At the close of the sitting the minister, Von Heydt, announced to the Assembly that the Danish govern ment had proclaimed the armistice on the 26th of this month. The proclamation is said to have been made at the instance of the ultra-Danish party. AUST] 27th tilt. The Austrian government have warned all public and private establishments against taking the Hun garian bank-notes issued by the insurgents, u such notes are not legal. Where they are already in circu lation, they are to be taken from the possessor', and forwarded to the central state-treasury, where they will be rendered useless. The provincial authorities of Lower Austria have issued a circular warning all persons against the pur chase of 12,981 shares of the Lombardo Venetian Ferdinand Railway, which have been seized by the provisional government of Venice, and which, as alleged, are now worthless. The Deutsche Zeaung positively asserts that Vienna will be relieved from the state of siege on the 9th in stant, at the latest. On the 26th, the coachman of Baron Wenkheim, a native of Hungary, was executed for having oon waled a gun in his residence. Five inditiduals in custody have avowed their participation in the murder of Count Latour. The mysterious attacks on isolated soldiers still con tinue in Vienna and the suburbs. The exasperation amongst certain regiments is intense, and there is much difficulty in preventing a military . outbreak. It was reported in Vienna that ministers had sus pended the recruiting in Bohemia, in consequence of the exasperation which it occasioned there. This in dulgence towards Bohemia will only enforce still more severely the recruiting in other parts of the empire. General Schlick has joined the main Austriaa army. On the other hand, the insurgent general, Gorgey, has effected a junction with General Dembinaky, who has arrived at 'Letup, about 30 English miles from Pesth. The troops under Gorgey are 9,000 strong, with 30 pieces of cannon and 12 howitzers. The in surgents are now stronger than ever, and are flushed with their recent successes in Siebenburgen--suc come which compelled the Austrian generals to in voke the aid of the Russians. Windischgratz was preparing, according to the latest accounts, to march against the insurgents at Hatvan. On the 10th there were - further arrivals of Russian troops (Uhlans) at Cronstadt. The Bzeklers (partisans of the Magyars) had retreated to Marienbarg. The Chevalier Van Bruck, the Minister of Com merce, has been elected at Trieste as member of the Diet at Olmatz. The negotiations for the Austrian loan are not yet concluded, although they have been going on for more than a month. Capitalists still hold aloof. HANOVER—The First and Second Chamber con tinue still at variance respecting the promulgation in Hanover of the law of fundamental rights for Ger many. The First Chamber, however, is so far vacil lating that in its sitting of the 28th ult, it refused to come to any final decision with reference to that law. WIRTEMBERG.—The First Chamber resolved on the 26th ult. that the continuance of Austria in the German united empire was strictly necessary for the welfare, power, and unity of Germany; and that a concordance between the National Assembly in Frankfort and the respective government, of Ger many, with reference to the constitution, could alone afford a guarantee for its validity. Nearly all the speakers maintained that even a pa:Sal exclusion of Austria from Germany would prove highly injurious to the southern portion of the latter, not only in a polll tical but also in a oemmercial point of view. BADEN.—Count Appony, the Austrian ambas sador in Carbrake, has disavowed, on the part of his government, any intention to make Baden amediatised duchy. THE UNITED STATES. By the Wisoonsin, Capt. Mumford, arrived at Liverpool, on Saturday, we have New York dates of the 14th ult., a week lcater than those received by the Canada, and eve days later than the intelligence by the Washington Irving. CAmgress was winding up its affair., previous to ita demise. A letter of the Washington correspondent of the New York Courier and Enquirer, ing the proceedings in the Senate on the 12t of February, indicates that the protectionists of the Union are contemplating an agitation, but that their prospects of MOMS are but indifferent. During the week which had elapsed from the de parture of the Canada there had been a good deal of talk relative to a protocol which had been got up at Mexico between the government there and the Ame rican minister explanatory of the treaty, and not communicated to congeal! by President Polk. The secretly observed was en:melons, and the conduct of the President was at first loudly denounced, and grave embarrassments apprehended. After the first burst of in ton, however, a conviction rapidly gained ground that the protocol was of little conse quence, and at the time when the Wisconsin sailed the excitement had evaporated. The steamship Niagara, Captain Stone, arrived at Banton at 11 am. on the 11th of February, in 16 days from Liverpool. The effect her news produced on the New York money market will be found noticed under the head of Commercial Intelligence. The intelligence from California was parti-coloured —favourable mingled with unfavourable. The latest dates from San Francisco were to the 19th November. The weather wssvery cold,and a letter from Mazatlan states that mining operations had ceased for the time in consequence of its inclemency and the rains. Capt. Spring, of the Huntress, writes on the 6th Nov. : Many are now returning tick trom the mines, arising from exhaustion from irregular living and many are dying from want of attendance and the ordinary comforts of life, while their hard earnings lie under their pillow (if pillow they have)in the ships of 1 to 10Ibe. of gold dust tied op in a dirty rag. Two of them cases occurred yesterday, and two more today. _ _ _ Quicksilver (generally in the form of cinnabar) had been discovered in various parts. Emigrants continued to pour in. Two thousand had arrived from Oregon, the Sandwich Islands, and South America. Lots of land 25 yards square were selling for 10,000 dollars. Provisions were in abundance, both at San Francisco and the diggings, 'applied f rom Chili and Oregon; flour had fallen from 25 to 16 dollars per barrel. Board in San Francisco was 10 dollars • week. It Fad been ascertained that the Sacramento was navigable to 150 lan above San Francisco for versels drawing eight feet water, and 100 miles fur ther for vessels of lees draught. The American steam ships navigating the Pacific had not obtained permis sion from the Mexican government to touch at Mazatlan or Acapulco for coal, on account of the ton nage duties. There bad been disturbances about the placer and two men killed by Indians. The hostile Indians are a numerous tribe, highly incensed against the emigrants last arrived from Oregon, from whom they allege they have received recent injuries. The settlers were deliberating on the means of establish ing some kind of state government, " until congress shall vouchsafe to give them one." A movement had commeaced in New York for the purpose of providing religious instruction for Califor nia. It does not appear to be uncalled for. The latest dees from the city of Mexico are to the 13th of January. Tranquillity was restored in Tampico. Gen. La Vega had arrived at Vera Cron on his way to Tampico, where he was to assume the com mand of the troops. The attempted revolution in Toluca had been suppressed. A good deal of alarm had been occasioned by the assembly of 1,000 Lamanches, in Chihuahua. advioes from Vienna reach to the COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

We received and published in the whole of our editions on Saturday, a summary of the intelligence from Bombay to the 3rd of February, and Calcutta January 20. We now give fuller details. Whilst, on the one hand, we learn that Mooltan has capitulated to General Whish, we have, on the other, to deplore the results of a victory over th e Sikhs as disastrous—when the lose in killed and wounded is considered—as any engagement since the destruction at CabooL Attock, too, has fallen into the hands of the Affghans, but Colonel Abbott holds out in the Hazareh. THE BATTLE WITH THE SIKHS. - - The following account of Lord Gough's engage ment is from the Bombay 71mes :—We have, for the first time since 1842, to give particula r of the annihilation of half regiments from the sheer mismanagement of the commanding officer ; and the retirement of British troops from the presence of the enemy under circumstances when, to bavo remained, was to have been entirely annihilated. At the date of our last, the army under the com mander-in-chief had for a fortnight been inactive. The whole force, amounting to betwixt 20,000 and 24,000 men, with from 100 to 150 guns, had closed up and lay encamped midway betwixt the Chenaub and the Jhelum, about eighteen miles from the camp of the enemy, who had entrenched them/mires on the hither bank of the latter river, with outworks on the further side to protect their rear, and enable them, if ne- ceesary, to change their position in safety. It had all along been given out that no operation of magnitude would be attempted until tidings were received of the capture of Mooltan, though it was generally under stood that so soon as Moolraj was disposed of Shere Singh would be attacked. Lord Gough had given orders for the advance of half the Bombay column and the whole of the Bengal portion of the besieging force so soon as their abject was gained. It is not quite apparent whether he meant to move so soon as these were ready to start, or to wait for their arrival— their upward march must have occupied three weeks, and the probability is that the commander-in-chief meant to be guided by the chapter of accidents. A fortnight longer had been spent in the ope rations of the siege than had been looked for, and our troops were becoming impatient for employment; the enemy were waxing audacious in impunity. Col. Sir Henry Lawrence, who had reached Bombay on the Bth December, pushed up the Indus with his ac customed celerity of movement; he joined General Whish on the 27th, and remained at Mooltan till the capture of the city on the 2nd January. He then hastened upwards to Ferozepore, which he reached on the 6th, and was the first to convey to the Gover nor-General at Mukkoo the same evening the tidings of our first success. After a few hours' stay with Lord Dalhousie, arranging the measures to be next pursued, he pus hed on to Lahore, where he arrived on the morning of the 9th, and attended the Darbar. From this he, the same evening, started for the camp of the commander-in-chief, which he reached the next night, when arrangements were immediately made to get the troops in motion. We give the events as they occurred, without having any authority to connect them together as cause and effect: they may be ao or not, bat they are striking as sequences. Preparations for an advance having been made on the 11th, on the 12th the troops marched out abut seven in the morning from their old camp at Lussoorie, and reached a place called Dinghee, in the direction of the Jhelum, about two o ' clo ck in the afternoon. They here encamped nearly in the same order u at Lus soorie, only that Gilbert's division, with the irregular cavalry, were in the rear. They started again next morning at seven, accompanied by all their baggage and other establishments, and marched till noon through a tolerably open country, a patch of brush wood or a few scattered treed here and there making • theie appearance. They were at this time within sight of the enemy, and about three miles from the front of hie position. The baggage was directed to halt, while the troops formed line and advanced In . order of battle. The right consisted of Pope's cue brigade, three troops of horse artillery, and a li ght field battery, and the division of infantry und e r Brigadier-General Campbell. They now came u pon one o' the outposts of the enemy. Ten of the hears guns with the horse artillery batteries, were a. dered to the front; when, after a few roam s , the enemy retired, leaving their tents stand. ing, bat carrying with them everything besid e ,. General Thackwell, with three troops of horse add. tillery and White's cavalry brigade, had been directed to attack them on the opposite side. The column one e the thivvenx whichtenThdia their l more advanced, moving over the grou n d just before by the enemy. The Sikh army l ay extended from Moong to itussool, stretching a m il e f rom north-east to south-west, some distance from th e Jhelum, which covereddrsooth had their where ir re ebe ar ree r, anheci spar ° magazines sroweere well-constructed from the mountains terminated, and near to which there was a narrow pass or gorge, well suited f ee s safe and easy retreat in case of reverse befalling th eta. Their flanks being both admirably secured, th e i r centre was protected by field-works, which spi n were covered by jungly and uneven groucd. Th e original intention of the commander in -chief had been to direct all his atiength against Russool, when not only would their position have been turned, but their stores sacrificed and their retreat in this direction cut off. It was now past one o'clock, and the troops had been for six hours under arms without rest or refreshment, and it was resolved to encamp for the night, as it was clearly impossible to attack the enemy with advantage or drive him from his position before dark. While the colour-men were !narking oat the camp, which was, it seems, to have been pitched within range of the enemy's batteries, a fire of add. lery was opened, and some of the shot fell near the commander-in-chief. He now all at once, and a ithont the slightest consultation with any one, changed hie plan entirely, and determined t 3 leave Ruseciol alone and to endeavour to penetrate the centre of the enemy's position near Moong. Without knowing anything of the nature of the ground or the position or strength of the enemy, and in the knowledge th a t it would be impossible before dark to force hie en. trenchmenta or compel him to retire, and before any arrangement for concerted action or mutual suppo r t could be made, at two o'clock in the afternoon the order was given for a general attack under his own immediate directions. A cannonade, which is said to have lasted from one to two hours, was first opened, but so well protected were the guns of the enemy which replied to ours, that we had scarcely snything but the smoke and flash to guide the direction of our fire. The division under Campbell, in making a flank movement, exposed their own flank to a mar derous cross fire from the Sikh batteries'. Th e i n . fantry were supported on the right and left by mal t y under White and Pope—the intervals were occapied by ar - inary. Hoggen's brigade carried everythin g before it, storming the batteries and spiking the pm of the enemy. The brigade of Peunycuick, consisti ng of her Modesty's 24th, and the 25th and 43th Native Infantry, had been pushed considerably ahead, and were unsupported by artillery. They suffered tea mendously as they pushed on, and were at leugth cr. dered to charge up hill against a battery of the enemy. The acclivity was steep, and the distance long ; and before they reached the summit they were blown and exhausted. They nevertheless stormed the battery at the bayonet s point, and were busy spiking the guns when a regiment of Sikh in fantry, hid in the jungle close by, opened so ter rific a fire upon them that they were compelled rapidly to retire. They suffered greatly in their retreat. When they reached the main body it was feud that out of 800 who had gone into action, ll.M.'s 24th bad lost 460, of whom nearly one-half were slain—the brigadier commending, the lieutenant-colonel, the major, four captains, and seven subalterns, were left dead—ten were disabled, twenty-four officers in all belonging to a gallant corps having been rendered unserviceable—a casualty Het long without precedent in our wars. The native regiments suffered but little less severely. As soon as the brigades just named were found to be engaged, the brigade under CoL Mountain was sent against what was understood to be the enemy's centre. They pushed on fearlessly through a brush wood jungle in the face of a storm of round shot, grape and musketry, which swept them away by dozens. They stormed and spiked a battery of the Sikh guns, when they found the enemy's infantry close upon them on every side, pouring in vollies of moe ketry in front, roar, and flank; so being isolated and unsupported, they were compelled to retire. Sir W. Gilbert and Brigadier Godby had mean while now proceeded from the extreme right of the infantry line. They pushed their way through dense jungles till they reached the Sikh infantry, when they found themselves outflanked to the right and left by masses of the enemy,—a murderous fire of musketry having been opened on them from every side. They gallantly charged, bat finding all their exertions in vain, they were compelled to retire, when Dawes's battery came to their rescue. The enemy were now attacked and beaten, and several of their guns taken and spiked. On the left, the enemy were pushing forward boldly and successfully, when a squadron of the 3rd drat goons and the sth light cavalry were ordered by Thackwell to charge them. On approaching the foe, the native cavalry broke and fled: the dragoons, un supported as they were, charged through the Sikh, and were for a time los t sight of. It was feared they must have fallen into an ambush and been annihilated, and terrible was the anxiety and suspense; when they quickly re-appeared in rear of the enemy, and were seen gallantly cutting their way back. Captain Uuett, the heroic officer who led them, was severely wounded,—Lieutenant Stiatcd slightly ; and forty-six men were found to have been killed and wound ed in the charge. The sth cavalry, said to have thus forgotten themselves, have for long been considered one of the finest regiments in the Ihngal army : a portion of them distinguished themselves at Cabool ; =ether portion of them formed a part of the heroic garrison at Jellalabad. On the right, the cavalry under Brigadier Pope, consisting of her Majest•y's 9th Leasers, the 14th dragoons, and the lst and 6th light cavalry, got en tangled amongst the jungle and exposed to a terrific fire from the enemy. Seeing a battery, which it eau impossible to charge with any hope of success, being opened against them, Pope gave the order to retire — when the retreat seems to have become something like a flight; the cavalry getting into disorder, and becoming jammed amongst the horse artillery amongst whom they fell back. The guns were compelled to suspend their fire, as the retiring corps were foe s time between them and the enemy: the tumbrils were upset, the gunners ridden down, so that there was no time to lumber up and retire, when the enemy were upon them, and six of them were captured (two were afterwards recovered). Major Christie, who obmmanded the artillery, was here mortally wounded. Lient. Manson was killed on the spot; Lient. Dun dee was wounded ; and Captain Huish only escaped by Major Steuart, of the 14th Dragoons, shooting s Sikh who had his sword raised to cut him down. Major Ekins, deputy-adjutant-general, was killed while endeavouring to rally the retreating corps. The cavalry and horse artillery pushed their way through the jungle on the left till warned by a cannonade of their vicinage to the enemy. The guns under Col. Brind returned the fire so warmly as speedily to silence their opponents. But there was no infantry to support them, and their success was of no avail: they were compelled to withdraw, for fear of being surrounded. Darkness at length separated the com batants. Our troops were withdrawn from the jungle and bivouacked for the night under arms, the troopers sleeping by their horses, the artillerymen by their The night was cutting cold, with a chilling gr il i a rlling rain. When morning broke, we first became aware of how small had been our advantage—how fearful had been the sacrifice at which it had been won. We had captured twelve guns and lost four. The Sikhs, meanwhile, had withdrawn in the most perfect order. The guns which had been spiked by us were carried off by them, the enemy in search for trophies having murdered all the wounded men they met with, and stripped and mutilated the dead! Our loss had amounted to no less than 2,300 killed and wounded. of whom nearly 800 were slain; 26 officers were killed on the spot or died of their wound , ' 66 were wounded. Her Majesty's 24th, and the 30th and 66th Native Infantry, were so entirely die abled that they were compelled to be disjoined from the force and sent back to Ramnuggur and Lahore, le place troops Ire th l e a l reetfs statio 2 na 4th m an ov el n t g he l .s6 P fantry lost both their colours, the 25th and 30 th Native Infantry lost each one; the 6th Cavalry lost the colour they won on the field of Mahareipore.
