The river was full of struggling men and horses, - and some 40 or 50 of the enemy were swimming for their lives,' but the rest were beneath the waters, - or were riding across the other bank. Our men had - ridden 30 miles. They were exhausted, and so were the horses, and so at one o'clock the cavalry fell back, marched through the jungle, and joining the rest of the expedition, found their tents pitched and baggage up at Bankee in their rear at 3 o'clock on the 31st.

Nothing was known about Weston, but Melaney was proved to .be a very desperate character, who had been twice before convicted and sentenced to four years' penal servitude, and both prisoners were therefore committed for trial. g Sir C. Cresswell, in summing up, said that the question of cruelty was not one upon which the jury were called upon to decide in cases in which a divorce was sought on the ground of adultery, but as the question had been - placed upon the record with the other issues, and both parties had allowed it to remain in this case, he would take their opinion whether, before the adultery was committed, the petitioner had treated the respondent with cruelty. There was no doubt adultery had been committed, and there was no evidence of connivance or con donation. JAN. 4. The force did not move to-day, as there was no news of the enemy in any direction. The bodies of the two hussars drowned yesterday were found by some natives who had been sent out with a promise of reward for that purpose. Each of the troopers held a sowar firmly in his arms, so that it was with difficulty the dead could be separated. The bodies were buried this evening. A sepoy of the 72d Battalion of Native Infantry, who was taken prisoner yesterday, informed us that the Nana was positively present yesterday, but went off at the sound of the firing towards the river, which he crossed, probably long before our cavalry came up. Several sowars, perhaps 20, came in and surrendered this morning to Major Barrow. Their cases will be considered by the light of the Govern ment circular forwarded in my last despatch. They Were so miserably mounted that a shrewd suspicion has arisen they part with their horses before they give themselves up, for the sowars we see in the field are generally very well horsed: These men were armed with tulwar and pistol, and were stout fellows enough, but badly clad.

Mr. John Collis Nesbitt, proprietor of the Col lege of Agriculture, in Kennington-lane, said the prisoner had been in his employment for the last five months as a laboratory boy and general ser vant, and during that period, and for some time before, he had been robbed to the extent of .£2,30. • He, however, had no suspicion of the prisoner's dishonesty until Friday last, when he was given a penny to procure a postage stamp to put on a letter addressed to Mr. Law, of Great Russell-street, but instead of doing so he kept the penny and dropped the letter in the box without a stamp. In accord ance with the recent postal regulation the letter was opened and sent back to him, and by this means he discovered the petty theft and dishonesty of the lad. The prisoner at once admitted his s uilt,, and Mr. Nesbitt charged him with robbing him of other property, and he admitted this also. He said he had taken a quantity of platina from time'to time out of the laboratory, and sold it at the shops of two marine storedealers in the neighbourhood. On ono occasion he had taken a piece of platina weighing an ounce and a half, and worth 305., acid sold it to a marine storedealer for 3s. On another occasion, he said, he had taken an ounce of the same valuable metal to another marine storedealer's, and sold it to a woman there for 2s. ; and he fur ther said he kad carried at different times a coat, a pair of dress trousers, and a quantity of child ren ' s wearing apparel to the same shop, and sold them there.

It is uncertain whether they are actually in the Nepaulese territory. Our know ledge as to their exact position is vague, and we cannot now determine the frontier line. There is good ground for believing that the enemy number 2,000 cavalry and 12,000 or 14,000 foot, with 15 or 20 guns. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, admitted that all be had stated to his master was perfectly true, and pointed out in the marine storedealers who had purchased the property from him. One of them (the man) admitted having purchased some glass and fat from the boy, but nothing else, and the woman maintained that she had never seenhim before. The prisoner was remanded. TO THE.

The Directors give notice that, in consequence of the great and undiminished demand for Steam Vessels upon the Indian rivers and the wide field presenting itself for their profitable employment, they have resolved to double the capital of the pa. The Directors have the satisfaction of announcing that the steamers and barges, consisting of twelve vessels in all, which they forwarded from this country in August last, have now arrived safely in India, and will commence plying upon the rivers without delay. An equal number of vessels of still greater power is at present in preparation, and will be sent out as soon as possible. Before embarking in the present undertaking the Directors had not only satisfied themselves of its eminently profitable nature, but they had secured for it the marked co-operation of the Indian Government, by the acquisition of a subsidy; and the Government, both by the gift of land for stations, Workshops, and depots, of wood for fuel, and in every other Way, has rendered every possible aid to the present under taking. At the same time the Directors have insured com plete exemption from Government control and interference ; and this is the only Company so distinguished which pos sesses any Government support. The Directors have the satisfaction of finding that not only the Reports of the Company's servants in India, but the Whole concurrent testimony of the advices received from that country, through whatever channel, completely confirms the favourable anticipations they long since formed of the profit able character of the present undertaking. It would be im possible, however, within the limits of an advertisement, to r ecapitulate the numerous evidences of this truth which the Directors are constantly receiving; and they content them selves, therefore, with giving the following quotation from a recent leading article in the "Times," which shows that simi lar information had been reaching that paper through its Indian correspondents. - From the 'Times,' Jan. 29, 1859. "RIB not only Government but the whole nation that seems re artiss. Any day during the last year we might have filled our columns with the complaints of shipbuilders at the de- Vine of their trade, owing in a great measure to the happy from of the Russian War. But what.do we now hear 'r,Oni India ? They wonder there what our shipbuilders are aoont. Month after month they are expecting the steamers that are to come. The Indian General Steam Navigation Company declare this month,' says our correspondent, 'a dividend 2 11 00 and upwards per cent. The Home Government had ueen requested to send out six river steamers, and it had sent out only one, which, it said, would be enough." Next month,' Continues our informant, 'the Indian Government had to en- Eage all the freight of six for two trips at a price which would 'lave bought the new vessels wanted twice over. There is 1.0 0, In and work, we are told, for 300 steamers on the Ganges ile, flowing, as it does, through a territory with a popula tion3so to the square mile, with an export trade of irwoooooo, and an internal trade beyond human calculation. „et, with this vast opening before us, there are found men in ine prime of life, neither schoolboys nor dotards, who can Waste their time. in holding meetings and memorialising Go vernment to find them customers for their shipping. Many a time ere this has war ministered to peace, infusing a quicker e lement into its idle, dreamy soul. To this Mutiny, perhaps, o we the real opening of the Indian navigation to British e nterprise, and the railways which are certain to follow. But Ve rbum sat ; we have said enough to start our shipbuilders And shipowners, if they are Englishmen." . ,-the Directors have all along felt that neither the vessels hav e they have already sent to India, nor those which they ~_ave at present in preparation, could do much to satisfy the eat want of Inland Steam Navigation which exists in that e w ount 7 . But they have also all along felt that the only safe a V 0 entering upon such an undertaking was not to rush 'Jul() it with sanguine precipitation, but to advance with gra jual and cautious steps, and without being dazzled by the a rge prospect of profits it holds out. The first steps, how at'r,hg been successfully taken, the whole of the exist n! Shares in the Company having been allotted, and being a premium in the market, and the field being so large as to aaarge capital to work it in an efficient manner, the irectors are of opinion that the time is come when the capi :tl of the Company may be advantageously increased, and t hey have, therefore, resolved to raise the capital to half a million sterling without delay. Dir ectors, for the new Shares must be forwarded to the ' l rectors, at the offices of the Company, 9,' Billiter-street, London, on or before the 28th day of February next.

The New Shareholders will stand on precisely the same terms as the Original Shareholders, and will participate in the dividend as soon as it is payable. Calls will not be more frequent than once every three Months nor for more than £2 per share, at any one time. Five Per cent. will be paid upon all calls until the dividend is de clared, and upon all payments in advance of calls. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting . certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, lie can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

DOYLEY AND BALDIE. Dr. Swabey and Mr. R. M. Kerr conducted the petitioner's case. This was a petition presented by Thomas Doyley praying for a dissolution of his marriage with Louisa Doyley on the ground of her adultery with Wm. Dacre Baldie. The respondents pleaded a denial of the adultery, but did n o t a pp ear t o sup port their plea. It appeared th a t th e p ar ti es wer e married at the church of St. Giles's-in-the-Fields, in May, 1852, when the petitioner was 31 and the respondent was 30 years of age. They resided at various places until 1857, and one child was born during their cohabitation. In June, 1857, they took lodgings in Milton-street, Dorset-square, and in the following September Mrs. Doyley left her husband and has not since returned. Her departure was proved by Charlotte Roberts, the landlady of the house, who stated, in answer to the learned hedge, that the cause of her leaving was that some igh words passed between her and her husband in consequence of her having stayed out one night without his knowledge. It was proved that in March, 1658, Mrs. Doyley was living in lodgings at Deal with the co-respondent, and that they passed as man and wife. A brother of Mrs. Doyley named Edwin Robards was with them. The jury found that the adultery had been proved. His Lordship observed that it was rather a strange case as it now stood, and when the matter came before the full Court it would be expedient to have the petitioner in attendance, and also the brother of the respondent. KRETZSCHMAR V. KRETZSCHMAR AND RINECKER. The petitioner, Louis Waldemar Kretzschmar, prayed for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery. The respondent pleaded a denial of the adultery, connivance, and condonation, and also alleged that the petitioner had treated her with cruelty. The co-respondent, Cajetan Rinecker, pleaded the same pleas as the respondent with regard to the charge of adultery, and further alleged that the petitioner, by his conduct and declarations, had led him to believe that the repondent was not his lawful wife, and that the petitioner had been guilty of adultery. Mr. Sergeant Pigott and Dr. Spinks were coun sel for the petitioner; Mr. J. Simon and Mr. L. Temple for the respondent ; and Dr. Swabey and Dr. Tristram for the co-respondent. The petitioner is a German, and carries on busi• ness in Duke street, Bloomsbury, as a working jeweller. In 1851 he married a Miss Elizabeth Sharp, the respondent, with whom he lived first at Howell-street, near the Goswell-road, and after wards at Duke-street. The respondent's sister Susan always lived with them, and at times another sister, Eliza, was also staying in the house. They had one child, who was born in 1855. They were in the habit of receiving lodgers, and in 1855 the co-respondent, who is a watchmaker, with whom the petitioner had been acquainted in Germany, took up his residence with them. In the summer of 1856 the -family removed to Hampstead, Rinecker going with them, and after staying there for about six weeks went to Duke-Street in August. Mr. Kretz schmar afterwards went to Germany, and was absent about three weeks. Shortly before Christmas, 1857, an expression dropped by one of Mrs. Kretzschmar's sisters raised a suspicion in his mind that his wife had formed an improper intimacy with Rinecker. She solemnly denied that there was any ground for the imputation, and he was satisfied. A night or two before Christmas the family were drinking gin and water together, when Mrs. Kretzschmar drank out of Rinecker's glass. Mr. Kretzschmar was angry, and, a quarrel took place when they went up to bed, the result of which was that Mrs. Kretzschmar went down and asked for admission to the room occupied by Rinecker and another lodger named Lutiger. Mrs. Kretzschmar left the house the same night, and Rinecker went on the following morning In a day or two Mrs. Kretzschmar when back to her husband and remained until the 4th of January, 1857. On that day, during the absence of her husband, she again left home with her aunt, Mrs. Pulman. She was persuaded to re turn at the end of January, and Mr. Kretzschmar engaged a housekeeper, Miss Parry. Some corre spondence passed between the parties, and on the 30th of April she once more returned. She did not, however, remain longer than the 11th of May, when she finally left. In 1858 Mr. Kretzschmar discovered that she and the co-respondent were living together in lodgings at Woodstock-street, Bond-street, as man and wife. The principal witness for the petitioner was Susan Sharp, the respondent's sister, who now manages the petitioner's house, and is employed by him in polishing jewellery. She stated that al though the petitioner was a passionate man, he was a kind husband, and never used foul language to or struck her sister. She admitted, however, that when she had been present at quarrels between her sister and the petitioner she had had her face slapped by the petitioner with such violence that blood flowed from her nose and mouth, and that he had broken a ruler by striking it on a table. She else; admitted that since her sister had left the house she had complained of being beaten by him. His conduct was described by this witness as very kind and c onc ili a t ory t o his wife, especially during the intervals between her departures from home. Her evidence was corroborated in this respect by Misst was Parr y. lnot denied on the part of the respondents that adultery oeddis en that t itthice hadh him m bn petitioner's ee to the relief conductcommitted,b heh u a t it d wa been s n- prayed. suchcoln support of this case the other sister, Eliza Sharp, was called, and. stated that the petitioner was m the habit of using filthy and abusive language to his wife on little or no provocation, and frequently struck her, sometimes with his hands and some ' times with a book, or anything that was near him. She also stated that Susan, as well as his wife, was ill-treated and beaten by him. Her evidence was corroborated by a beryant and some other wit. John Lee, 30, was indicted for a robbery from the person. The prosecutor was a seaman, formerly belonging to the Monarch, 84, and the prisoner robbed him of a watch which he had purchased with part of the wages he received when he was paid off. The prisoner was found guilty, and a former conviction for robbery from the person and a sentence of seven years' transportation were proved against him. He had had a ticket of leave, which was revoked on his being taken for a felony, committed soon after he obtained it, and he had served out the whole of the term. He had been known to the police for . 15 years, and had been repeatedly convicted. The Assistant-Judge said, this was a case where the power of sending the prisoner abroad ought to be exercised, and with that view the Court would sentence him to be kept in penal servitude for fourteen years. Henry Trainer, 36, ironfounder, was convicted of unlawfully assaulting and beating John Connell, a police constable, in the execution of his duty. The Assistant-Judge said, it was much to be re gretted that a hard-working, industrious man, as the prisoner evidently was, should get under the influence of drink, and then commit an outrage upon a . policeman without the least provocation, who was simply doing his duty in preserving order in the street. The police must be protectedin the performance of their duty to the public, as well as punished when they did wrong, and this case must follow the ordinary rule. The sentence upon the prisoner was therefore nine months' hard labour. Michael Green, 18, was convicted of feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Wm. Henry, and stealing a mustard pot and other ar ticles, his property. A number of previous convictions were proved against him, and The Court sentenced him to three years' penal servitude. Charles Hitch, 18, pleaded guilty of having stolen a quantity of books and Parliamentary re ports, value £2O, the property of Robert Stanhope He was sentenced to be kept to hard labour for fifteen calendar months. Robert Collier, 26, was indicted for stealing a dead pig from one of Pickford's Tans, on its way from Camden-town to Newgate-market. The prisoner was met by a policeman, 115 E, in New Oxford-street, carrying the pig, and in reply to the question where he got it from, ho said he had" found it near Meux's Brewery, and was going to take it to Bow-street; but the policeman remarked that going westward towards Regent's-circus was a roundabout way to Bow -street ; whereupon the prisoner threw the pig down, damning it, and said " He wouldn't carry it any further, for it was like the policeman's impudence to interfere with him." The prisoner in his defence called one Alonzo Smith, a scavenger, with whom he lodged in Peter street, Westminster, and he deposed that the pri soner and himself were taking a stroll in the early morning, after a " spree " over-night, to shake off the effects of their potations, and that after they had patronised several coffee -stalls they got to New Oxford-street, where they found the pig lying in the middle of the road. He then . parted company with the prisoner, but he could give no reason for abandoning his friend immediately after so unex pected a prize had fallen in their way. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to six months' hard labour. Mr. Orridge prosecuted for Messrs. Pickford. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Feb. 21. GUILDHALL.—Maria Bell, a woman about 40 years of age, with twin babies in her arms, was charged with stealing three coats and various other articles of wearing apparel, value £lO, at 14, Broad sthie mi d d le n d y E md en, servant to Mr. Murcot, a printer, to a bedroom on th e third floor in day and s aw th e p r i sone r crawl ing under the bed, and on the second floor landing she found a bundle containing three coats, five waistcoats, four pairs of trousers, two pairs of drawers, two flannel shirts, o ne s hawl, and one scarf, belonging to Mr. Claudius Jose Cox. The officer said he found under the bed on the third floor, where the prisoner was seen, a parcel containing about 30 different keys, and one of which opened the door of the room on the second floor from which the property produced was stolen. Sir F. G. Moon asked what the prisoner's hus band was ? . _ The officer said the prisoner was not a married woman. She gave a correct address, and she was living in a very low neighbourhood. Mr. Cox identified the goods produced as his pro perty. The prisoner was committed for trial. MARYLEBONE.—George Kemp was brought up on remand charged, under the Fraudulent Trustees Act, with having unlawfully appropriated to himself £l2l intrusted to him for the purchase of a rick of hay. The prisoner was committed for trial, with liberty to put in good bail for his being forthcoming at the sessions. WORSHIP-STREET.—George Melaney and Henry Weston were charged with breaking and entering a dwellinghouse. Mr. Solomon Deacon is the owner of numerous houses in the New North-road, and also of one in Newton-street, leading out of the road. Thishouse , had been recently vacated, and Mr. Deacon there fore availed himself of the opportunity to put it into a thorough state of repair. The house contained a large quantity of leadwork and other utensils, all very valuable to the owner, and Mr. Deacon went over it after the workmen ha d left, to see th a t hi s property was safe, and, having satisfied himself in this respect, he was closing the street door after him, when two comObles gave him "the pleasing intelligence," as he called it, that his house would be broken into in the course of a few hours, and that he had better therefore admit them into it, to secure the thieves. This he did, and left, and while Smith. 99 N, ensconced himself i n th e par lour, Leveridge, 84 N, placed himself in the kitchen, so as to be ready at both places of ingress. There was a crack in the parlour shutters, and through this, by means of a gaslight opposite, S m ith shortly. after saw both pr isoners walk past th e h ouse , re turn, and examine it, and then M e l aney lif te d Weston over the railings and dropped him into the area, into which he flung a large black ba g , w hi c h Weston placed on the window - sill, and then, after bumping against and trying to force the kitchen door, but uselessly, he cauti ously shot b ac k th e h asp of the kitchen window with a knife, got into the room, and, to prevent the open window being notice by the passers-by, carefullyclosed it after him. The rest of the affair was soon over, for the moment Weston found himself =fronted with Leveridge he rushed upstairs, but only to fall into the hands of Smith, and though the pursuit after M e l ane y, who heard the /loin inoide and took to his heels, It was late in the afternoon of the 29th when our spies returned, and stated that the Nana, Bainie Madhoo, and a large number of desperate rebels, with six or seven guns, were assembled near Ban kee, on the south side (right bank) of the Raptee, near the Nepaulese frontier, the Begum, with another army, being on the left bank, about eight miles from them. Lord Clyde at once resolved to attempt to surprise the enemy by a night march. The m ere chance of capt ur i ng N ana S a hib, killing and dispersing some of the desperadoes around him before the old year c l ose d, seeme d t o j us tif y an undertaking which was esteemed hopeless by those most conversant with Indian warfare. References to the great uncertainty attendant upon endeavours to catch . weazels in a dormant s t a t e were l arge l y applied to the project. The enemy were 23 miles away, the nights were pitch dark, there were no roads whatever, the guides were not to be depended upon, the rebels would be informed the moment we stirred—these were all points duly considerred and commented upon in a spirit not very favourable 1;)y the two or three people who knew of Lord Clyde's determination that evening. As it was impossible to keep quite secret the fact that we were going to move—inasmuch as men must eat and food must be prepared, and camels and elephants brought in from grazing—the story was successfully , prp pagated that we were going to Bingha. ITow, although the matter did not in the least affect the success of the enterprise, I am bound to say that in the camp bazaars it was stated an hour after Lord Clyde had decided on his movements that we were going to march that night to Bankee. The Chief of the Staff, the Special Commissioner, the Quarter master-General, the Adjutant-General, Major Nor man, all were dubious of the chances of smile-clip. But Lord Clyde was resolved to try. He instructed Captain Fitzgerald to collect as many elephants As possible, and to have them ready at dark. General orders were issued in the evening warning the regiments available for the expedition to parade in , front of their respective lines at eight o'clock p.m., and there await further orders, The heavy guhs were left in charge of a detachment of her Majesty's 20th, and the baggage, with a small guard, was placed under the care of Major Kirby, her Majesty's 94th Regiment, acting on the Quartermaster-Gp neral's staff, with orders to move off and follow the columns next morning at daybreak. It w distinctly announced that no officer should be p - mitted to march who did not recei v e an in v itati n or orders to do so ; and, of course, the secrecy of the expedition leading to the conclusion that a great object was in view, the officers not invited were lip to seven o'clock in a - state of considerable irritati4n and excitement. Nearly every one about head quarters, except those all-knowing wily politicals who pull the strings which set so many legs and arms working, and the heads of departments, were in utter ignorance of the object or direction of the night march. I question much if colonel or brigadier was acquainted with the course till the stars of Heaven told them they were steering north wards. Now, it is a most difficult matter to orge.- nise an expedition in the night in an unknown country. One man may make his way towards a certain point guided by local knowledge, a compass, and the stars, but the direction of elephants, camels, and guns over rice -fields, r ic e swam p s , forests, ditches, rivers unknown, is a very different matter. Even the move in front out of a camp at night n column of march is more di ffi cult tb an the words seem to express. If, in the Duke's opinion, theie were a few generals who could get a large corps into Hyde-park, but few or none wh o cou ld ge t them out again in broad daylight, it may be ima gined that it is by no means so simple as it would appear to the uninitiated to g e t i n f an t r y, cavalry, and guns in proper order, all in direct column of route, out on the open in a pitch dark night. Oar little expedition consisted of the 7th Hussars, head quarters of the Carabineers, Ist Punjaub Cavalry-, a troop of the Royal Horse Artillery (six guns), the Rifle Brigade, a detachment of her Majesty's 20th, and a wing of the Belooch Battalion. As Captain Fitzgerald collected 150 elephants, it was arranged that one half of the force should be mounted—five on each of these unwieldy locomotives—the other half marching till the halts took place, when they relieved their comrades from the trouble ofjourney ing aloft, and the elephant cavalry became infaip.- try till the next half. There were some spare elephants in case of accidents. Lord Clyde, with his shoulder bandaged up, was, much against lits will, obliged to go in a dooly. The mess dinnerS, an hour earlier than usual, were full of conjecture; but it was generally supposed we were going to aid Grant in some conjectured difficulty. About 7.30 p.m. the officers of head-quarters were in formed that whoever wished might join the head of the column. At 8 o'clock the regiments were formed up in front of their camps, and at 8.30 they were marched off, with the usual advance guard, into the darkness. Not a light was to be seen save the glare of the watch-fires ; but soon there appeared before us, like a light in some wintry sea, one steady flame. A lantern had been mounted on the back of an elephant which followed the guides, and had the honour of being the leader of the expedition. The men were in high spirits. Wrapped in their greatcoats; those social fives smoked, chatted, and laughed in their peripatetic clubs till the cold and monotony of the night march proved too much for even the most loquacious Hibernian. Linkmen with flaring torches after a time were put forwa rd to cast a light on the pitfalls, the heavy fields, ditch , es, and wells which lay in our course. A de lay of nearly an hour occurred soon a fter we l e ft _ e camp i n getting the columns into proper order. Just to illustrate the difficulties of a night march in this sort of country where no officer knows where he is going, I may mention that the Madras Light Cavalry, a most efficient set of men, were unwittingly left behind. They were formed up in their proper place, but bysome accident the Captain, Macgregor, did not receive the order to move off with the rest of the column, and after a long halt in the cold, he rode off to see what had become of the rest. He could not find them. Ho then marched off his troop, circled round the camp—saw no trace of the column—came back —marched again, and after an ineffectual search returned to camp at midnight till next morning, which his squadron proved a more useful and desirable escort and aid to Major Kirby in his march with the baggage and tents. The column, once started, moved off in a straight line to Bankee. El ep h ants cras hi ng i n one leading line through cates, over swampy grass, through dell-fields, can outnArch cavalry or infan try, and the latter regulated the pace. The mov ing lighthouse guided the officers, and so, tramp, tramp, squash, squash, thud, thud, away they pro ceeded. A northerly wind came down sharply from the Himalayas, and soon the cold cut through the warmest Indian clothing. The column made such good progress that if it had pushed on, it would have reached Bankee long ere daybreak. A long halt was called, therefore, near a tope of trees and a small hamlet. Wrapped up in cloaks and resais, officers and men enjoyed an hour's re freshing sleep. The march commenced again so timed as to bring the force to Bankee soon after sunrise. It has transpired since that in the night the column passed a large party of the enemy on the left.. Lieutenant-Colonel Crealock and some others observed fires on the left, which were the watches of the enemy, but it was supposed they proceeded from villagers engaged in some festival or agriculture. pursuits. The enemy remained quite still, and made off towards the west as soon as it was morning. As daylight broke, the flankers and videttes were thrown well out. The country was exactly like that I have previously attempted to describe, the villages being very clean and the houses better than in most parts of Oude. The villagers generally ran away as we approached, and large herds of cattle were visible in the distance, which the proprietors drove from the line of our march as last as they could. The old men left in the villages professed entire ignorance of the ex istence of the enemy. About seven o'clock, how ever, when the force had got within a few miles of Bankee, a white clump was observed by our vidett at the base of a thick - tope of trees. It wavereu tu and fro, extended, and broke, resolving itself into a strong picket of sowars, who rode away towards: our right front. They were tho enemy. Lord Clyde was right. The whole column was at once pressed forward towards Pooreniee, a hamlet on the right and in the rear of Bankee, close to the edge of a broad belt of an outlying strip of the tcrai. About 8 o'clock the enemy, mostly cavalry, were visible in our front ; as we approached, it was ascertained that a long deep swamp lay in their front, which was covered on each flank by a small village. Be hind them and on their left, as far as the eye could reach, extended the jungle, a dense high wall of green, apparently of immense thickness. The Commander-in-Chief, who was now mounted on an elephant, attended by Colonel Metcalfe, recon noitred their position. General Mansfield was intrusted with the general direction of the attack. A very few moments sufficed for the dispositions. The Cavalry formed in line, a part of the Punjab Horse on the right, the Carabineers, under Colonel Bickerstaff, next; then the six guns; next the 7th Hussars in columns of squadrons, and on their left the rest of the Punjabees, the infantry dis mounted being on the left rear. On our left front there was a tope occupied by the enemy, behind which the line of the jungle, parallel with their rear, formed a right angle with the jungle on our right flank. The 7th Hussars at once went to the left, round the swamp, and advanced rapidly towards the tope, while the Carabineers and Pun jabees proceeded towards the right. The enemy were already retreating rapidly and in confusion, having only just received warning from their picket of our approach. The bulk of their infantry seemed to go off towards their right, making for the jungle; those who were in the tope fled towards the right. The Hussars slipped after the infantry towards our left, the guns, Carabineers, and. Punjabees on the right were received by the fire of three guns—one in the tope, and two from the village - , near the angle of the two lines of jungle. They pushed on, the shot flying over their heads, the enemy flying into the jungle, and in a few moments the three guns were ours. But here occurred one of those accidents which show the un certainty of any military operations not conducted in the most perfect accordance with the established rules of war. Cavalry and horse artillery can do much, but they cannot charge jungle. The in fantry were far behind. The moment the enemy's infantry got within the jungle they faced round and opened a sharp musketry fire on the cavalry and guns, while two guns, quite concealed from _view, served by steady gunners with shot, shell, grape, cannister, and shrapnel, opened on our men. Frazer's guns in rain tried to search out the jungle and to silence the enemy's fire. The Rifles were advancing at the double, and as it was quite useless to expose men to a fire, already very heavy, which a few seconds might render fatal, the artillery were retired by alternate guns, firing as they fell back, and covered by the cavalry. The Rifles advanced splendidly, and as their Enfields began to whistle through the trees the enemy's guns shut up and their infantry disappeared. The advance again was ordered, and on examination a path was perceived in the jungle at the angle of the two lines of wood already mentioned. At this moment it was re ported that the enemy on the left were in force, and soon afterwards that a party of Sowars were threatening our left flank. The Carabineers and two guns were detached to meet the latter movement, and the 20th Regiment were placed to cover the rear, while the Rifles advanced through the jungle in front of the left flank of the Hussars and the Punjabees, who with five guns filed through it by the road. The sowars proved to be a detachment of Punjabees who had been left with the Beloochees at Mejiddiali, and were led out by Mr. Ross when he heard the firing. The enemy's infantry did not make any attempt on our left, but seem to have got away through the jungle on their right from the line of rifle skirmishers. It was about 8.30 when the enemy opened fire on us. The belt of jungle was about half a mile broad. By 10.30 our cavalry and part of the guns suddenly emerged on a wide plain with an undulating surface, in front of which rose the Nepaulcse hills, with their • base covered by the Tcrai. On the left of the cavalry the belt of jungle ran on in a line down to a dip in the ground, where it abruptly ceased. In the plain appeared the enemy, flying in two disorderly bodies —one towards the left, where the jungle ceased, as I have described, the other towards a village on our right. Detaching a squadron of the 7th Hussars to the left, Sir - William Russell led the remainder of his • regiment and the Punjabecs towards the large mass of the fugitives on the right. As they dashed onwards the it course was unfortunately in-. terrupted by a deep nullah filled with water, which stopped Fraser's guns and detained the cavalry in their pursuit. The moment they were freed from this obstacle they charged on to the right, but the enemy had got a good start and were close to the village, which was situated on a ford of the river Raptee. Here they rushed across in wild confusion. But the Hussars pressed close upon them. The Punjabees captured a gun on the brink of the river. suddenly a heavy battery of six guns from the other side of the rivet' opened on our cavalry, covering the ford, and ploughing up the opposite bank. The Begum's guns had been sen t i. up and Mchundie Hoosein was doinghis best for !Is friends. Our guns were not up. The enemy on the right had got over, and were collecting on the other side of the rapid river under cover of their guns. Meanwhile the squadron under Fraser on the left, having a greater space to go over, had not got so close to the river at the point where the jungle joined its course. The enemy, beaded_ 1)3 . - the Rifles through the jungle and cu t off on the right, were all crowding in dismay towards the narrow point where there was a ford on the left. The Hussars and Punjabees on the right were at once wheeled round, and, running the gauntlet of the enemy's guns all along the bank of the river, galloped as hard as they could t o assist t he squadron on the left. As Fraser's men saw they were in on the enemy, and that a river ran before them, they gave one ringing cheer, sat down in their saddles, and rushed along as fast, fierce, and strong as the Raptee itself. • " Steady, men, steady !"—it is in vain, the thunder of horses' hoofs, the lightning of battle, roll and flash along. Sir William Russell, galloping as hard as he can, tries to come up on their right`; but even his longlegged horse cannot catch the troopers up. The Raptee, now at its lowest, is a very clear, rapid, mountain river, with low banks, between which are beds of sand deposited by the torrents which descend from the hills during the rains. Its course is exceedingly tortuons, and we know little or nothing of its direction, or of the fords. The pace quickens as we close upon the enemy, but the sowars are well mounted, and ride well. The mass of the enemy dash over the bank, over the sands and boulders, and right into the current. In a cascade of white the sowars precipitate them selves into the waters of the Raptee. At the sight our Hussars give one more wild cry and in an instant they are engaged with them in the river. Not a man could be held, each went straight at an enemy. Their horses flounder amid ,hey the cnt r d o o c rn , but the the Hussars hold their own. 1 sowars as they arc strugglin g in the whirling s o t f re t a h m os , e azd .on c d h e a r r f g u e l t s h v e e n c i ta n c i le t s he o f i o il r y d io I b t e w s a e s en on in e actual war, and of which peace has no counterpart —here men and hones swimming for their lives, there fierce hand-to-hand conflicts between sowers and Hussars in the foaming _water; but the river was our most formidable foe. Poor Major Home, a most kind-hearted, excellent old soldier,. oyer, over turned with his hone in the river, WU rolled The body of Major Horne was brought into camp this afternoon by some natives, who, stimulated by the promise of a reward, searched the river, and discovered the corpse in a pool submerged in a quick sand below the ford.. It was reported that he held in his death grip a Sowar in each hand, and that the bodies, one of which bore the marks of a despe rate wound, were found beside him ; but there aro some doubts as to the truth of the story, as no European saw the dead Sowars. The gallant and lamented officer was buried this evening in front of the camp, under a lone tree, whereon a plate, with an inscription stating his name .rank, and the manner, and date of his death, is affixed. It was an affecting ceremonial, decoriously conducted. The staff of Lord Clyde, of Sir W. Mansfield, the head quarters' officers, the officers of the Rifle Brigade, Brigadier Horsford, Brigadier Richniond Jones, the officers' and a detachment of the Carabineers, Sir W. Russell and the officers and men of the 7th Hussars, followed the bier, behind which was led the horse of the deceased in funeral trappings. As the procession, preceded by the band of the Rifle Brigade, passed out of the camp and the sad and noble strains of " the Death March" swelled through the air the native camp followers thronged to gaze upon the spectacle, and one or two sa laamed as the war horse passed them. Sir Wm. Russell, in the absence of any clergyman, read the funeral service. In the gloom of a murky evening, with one rift in the clouds, through which poured a broad thin sheet of orange light from the setting sun, the deep grave, surrounded by the countrymen and comrades of the soldier, reminded us how far we were from our home, how near we might be to that final resting-place which_ is everywhere. Before the service was closed in darkness the yells of the jackals in the distance made us look to see the grave was deep. Long may it be , before Eng lish eyes again rest on the spot where the soldier was laid so solemnly in his shroud. Such intelligence as we have this morning leads us to believe that the rebels may not be in Nepaul, but that they have moved to a place in the valley of the Raptee, about 14 miles in our front. At 11 o'clock our camp was struck, and we moved out with the intention of crossing the Raptce, when epics came in with the news — that the enemy were actually discussing the pro priety of coming down and crossing the river to attack us. As it was desirable, above all things, to place the river in their rear in case of an attack, so that they could not escape or get away their guns. Lord Clyde gave orders for the camp to be pitched about a mile from its original site, and here we have halted for the day close to the spot where the affair of the other day began. It is re ported that on the evening of our engagement the Begum, with her followers, marched towards the north till she came to the Ghoorkha post at the entrance to the hills, which consisted of 200 men only. The officer in charge said he- had no power to permit her armed soldiers to pass, but that she and her officers and domestics might some in if they liked. The Begum thereupon exhorted the Sepoys to disperse and go to theirhomes, but they followed her up to the post, and pressing after her by their numbers forced their way past, and marched seve ral miles up the country. The Ghoorkha officer of the district informed the Begum -he could not per mit such a violation of his master's territory, and thereupon she went out next day, followed by the Sepoys as before, and joined the rebels under the Nana Sahib, Mehundie Hosein, Bala Rao, Bainie Madho, and others. The rebels are in three dif ferent camps, and are said to extend over a space of 14 miles. In order to hem in the enemy, if pos sible, Colonel Christie, who was at Pudnaba, on our west, on New Year's-day, has been directed to march towards us with all speed. Colonel Pratt, her Majesty's 23d, has been summoned from the Gogra ; the wing of the Belooch Battalion is to come in from Mejiddiah ; the five companies of her Majesty's 20th, left at Nanparah, are hastening up with the guns of which they are in charge.

PAUPEItISM.—LI,9IO,6OB was the sum expended in 645 Unions during the half-year ended Michaelmas, 1858, of which £469,258 was for in -maintenance, and £1,441,350 for out-relief. The cost of relief to the irremove able paupers was 30.5 per cent. on the cost of relief of other paupers during the half-year, but during the half-year ended Michaelmas, 1857, the ratio was 28.4 per cent. 788,248 paupers were in rectipt of relief on the Ist of July last, and this is given as a fair average of the numb: c r a re lieved in the half-year. The cost of in-maintenance and to out-relief is 72 per cent. of the entire cost of the the poor.
