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 po3sible, however, within the limits of an advertisement, to recapitulate 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. "It is not only Government but the whole nation that seems remise. Any day during the last year we might have filled our columns with the complaints of shipbuilders at the de cline of their trade, owing in a great measure to the happy termination of the Russian War. But what do we now hear from India ? They wonder there what our shipbuilders are about. Month at ter month they are expecting the steamers that are to come. The Indian General Steam Navigation Company declare this month,' says our correspondent, a dividend of 100 and upwards per cent. The Home Government had been 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 gage all the freight of six for two trips at a price which would have bought the new vessels wanted twice over. There is room and work, we are told, for 300 steamers on the Ganges alone, flowing, as it does, through a territory with a popula tion of 350 to the square mile, with an export trade of £16,000,0000, and an internal trade beyond human calculation. Yet, with this vast opening before us, there are found men in the 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 crc this has war ministered to peace, infusing a quicker element Into its idle, dreamy soul. To this Mutiny, perhaps, we owe the real opening of the Indian navigation to British enterprise, and the railways which are certain to follow. But ♦erbum 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 which they have already sent to India, nor those which they have at present in preparation, could do much to satisfy the great want of Inland Steam Navigation which exists in that country. But they have also all along felt that the only safe way of entering upon such au undertaking was not to rush into it with sanguine precipitation, but to advance with gra dual and cautious steps, and without being dazzled by the large prospect of profits it holds out. The first steps, how ever, having been successfully taken, the whole of the exist ing Shares in the Company having been allotted, and being at a premium in the market, and the field being so large as to require a large capital to work it in an efficient manner, the Directors are of opinion that the time is come when the capi tal of the Company may be advantageously increased, and they have, therefore, resolved to raise the capital .to half a million sterling without delay. Applications for the new Shares must be forwarded to the Directors, at the offices of the Company, 9, Billiter-street, London, on or before the 28th day of February next. A deposit of two shillings per Share to be made on appli cation, and the Bankers' receipt for that amount to be for warded with the application for Shares. 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. To the Directors of the Oriental Inland Steam Company (Limited). Gentlemen,—l request that you will allot to me of the new issue of Shares in this Company ; and I hereby under take to accept the same or any less number that may be allotted to me, to pay the calls thereon when due, and to sign the Articles of Association when required. I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, ORIENTAL INLAND STEAM COMPANY (Limited). Under subsidy, from the Indian Govern ment. The Directors give Notice that,no further Applica tions for the New Shares of this Company can be received after the 28th instant. —By Order. JOHN MATTHEWSON, Secretary.

An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are l eg ally qualified can readily be distinguished —a point of mat importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new edition of Self-Preservation,' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits. indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, :hardship, or by iniudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible.

Illustrated with Cases com piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. 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, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

A northerly wind came down sharply from the Himalayas, and soon the cold cut through the warmest Indian clothing. The colum n 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 describ e , 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 fast 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 videttes at the base of a thick tope of trees. It wavered to and fro, extended, and broke, resolving itself into a strong picket of sowers, who rode away towards our right front. They were the 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 terai. 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, noar the angle of the two lines of hangle. They pushed on, the shot flying over their eads, 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, eannister, and shrapnel, opened on our men. Frazer's guns in vain 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 Mejiddiah, 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 Nepaulese hills, with their base covered by the Tenn. 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 Punjabees towards the large mass of the fugitives on the right. As they dashed onwards their 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.

The enemy, headed by the Rifles through the jungle and cut 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 to assist the squadron on the left. As Fraser's men saw they were gaining 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, m en , 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 tortuous, 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 sowers precipitate them- ' selves into the waters of the Raptee.

Her improper intimacy with Rinecker was attributed to the conduct of her hus band. M 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. The jury found that the petitioner had not been guilty of cruelty. They also found all the other issues in favour of the petitioner. MIDDLIMEX SESSIONS, Feb. 21. The sittings of the Court for the February General Sessions were resumed this morning at the Guild hall, Westminster, by adjournment from Clerken well, before Mr. Pashley, Q.C., Assistant-Judge ; Mr. Payne, deputy ; Mr. Pownall, chairman of the bench, and the following magistrates were present : Mr. H. Warner, Dr. Bateman, Mr.. Dodd, Mr. Burslem, Mr. E. W. Cox, Mr. Hogarth, Mr. Donnethorne, Mr. Goodhart, and Mr. H. White. There were 62 cases in the calendar, 55 felonies, and 7 misdemeanours. The Assistant-Judge shortly charged the grand Isaac Smart, 29, was convicted of having stolen a gold watch of the value of £4O, the property of Ruperta Catherine Murray, in her dwelling-house, 9, Manchester-square. The prisoner had been servant in the house nearly four years. The Court sentenced him to three years' penal servitude. 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 protected in 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 crf 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 vans, 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, he 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. was for the moment unsuccessful, his curiosity about the other prisoner was too great for him to withstand, and on his taking him a breakfast next morning to the Robert-street station house, he was at once recognised and secured. Nothing was known about Weston, b - ut 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. LAMBETll.—Frederick Cresswell, a lad of 1G years of age, was charged on his own confession, with plundering his master to a very considerable extent. 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 £250. 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 guilt, 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 one occasion he had taken a piece of platina weighing an ounce and a half, and worth 305., and 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 25.; and he fur ther said he had carried at different times a coat, a pair of dress trousers, and a quantity of children's wearing apparel to the same shop, and sold them there. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, admitted that all lie 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 seen him before. The prisoner was remanded. LAW INTELLIGENCE. Feb. 21. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. :Before the Judge-Ordinary and Common Juries.) DOYLEY V. 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 not appear to sup port their plea. It appeared that the parties were 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 judge, that the cause of her leaving was that some high 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, 1858, 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. KRETZSCIIMAR V. KRETZSCIIMAR 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 Dukc-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 ledger 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 spondenee 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 preknt 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 also 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 conciliatory to his wife, especially during the intervals between her departures from home. Her evidence was corroborated in this respect by Miss Parry. It was not denied on the part of the respondents that adultery had been committed, but it was con tended that the petitioner's conduct had been such as to disentitle him to the relief he prayed. In support of this case the other sister, Eliza Sharp, was called, and stated that the petitioner was in the habit of using filthy and abusive language to his wife on little or no provocation, and frequently struck her, sometimes with hi s h ands: 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 servant and some other wit- THE CAMPAIGN IN O UDE. CAMP NE AR BANKEE, JAN. 3. 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, beiig 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 mere chance of capturing Nana Sahib, killing and dispersing some of the desperadoes around him before the old year closed, seemed to justify 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 tate were largely 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 by 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 pro pagated that we were going to Bingha.) Now, 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 success. 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 guns 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-Ge neral's staff, with orders to move off and follow the columns next morning at daybreak. It was distinctly announced that no officer should be per mitted to march who did not receive an invitation 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 riot invited were up to seven o'clock in a state of considerable irritation 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 orga 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, rice swamps, forests, ditches, rivers unknown, is a very different matter. Even the more in front out of a camp attnight in column of march is more difficult than the words seem to express. If, in the Duke's opinion, there were a few generals who could get a large corps into Hyde-park, but few or none who could get 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 got infantry, cavalry, and guns in proper order, all in direct column of route, out on the open in a pitch dark night. Our 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 infan try till the next half. There were some spare elephants in case of accidents. Lord Clyde, with his shoulder bandaged up, was, much against his 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, a nd had the honour of being the leader of the enp . etligon. The men were in high spirits. Wra PP e4 In their gre atcoats, those social fives smok ed, chatted _ and _ laughed in their peripatetic clubs till the cold and monotony of the night march d too much for ove Link men alto flaring the most loquacious Hibernian.prre put forwaid to flaring torches after a time were fields, ditches, cast a light on the pitfalls, the heavy and wells which lay in our course. A delay of nearly , an hour occurred soon after we left the cam i n getting the columns into proper order. Just p t o 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 by some 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. He 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.

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 street-buildings. Emily Emden, servant to Mr. Murcot, a printer, said she went up to a bedroom on the third floor in the middle of the day and saw the prisoner 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, one shawl, 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. This house 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 had left, to see that his property was safe, and, having satisfied himself in I this respect, he was closing the street door after him, when two constables 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 in the 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, Smith shortly after saw both prisoners walk past the house, re turn, and examine it, and then Melaney lifted Weston over the railings and dropped him into the area, into which he flung a large black bag, which Weston placed on the window-sill, and then, after bumping against and trying to force the kitchen door, but uselessly, he cautiously shot back the hasp of the kitchen window with a knife, got into the room, and, to prevent the open window being notice by the passers-by, carefully closed it after him. The rest of the affair was soon over, for the moment Weston found himself confronted with Leveridge he rushed upstairs, but only to fall into the hands of Smith, and though the pursuit after Melaney , who heard the noise inside and -took to his heels/ XPER 542) \F:" swept away, and 4` d re 0 • r fisted, carried away by the'Syetun, by the activity and presence otudia.:of yfaiaser, his comrade, who pulled offkhis gliat d plunged into the. river just in time to carry his friend, with a spark of life unextinguished, to the bank. 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. 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 thatit 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 y e sterday, but went off at the sound_ of the firing t owar d s th e r i ve r, which be crossed, probably long b e f ore our cava l r y came up. Several sowars, perhaps 20, camein 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. The Rajah of Nan. parah rode in on his elephant to-day, and paid his respects to the Special Commissioner. A series of hospitable camp dinners celebrated the opening of the New Year, 1859, which was not the less warmly welcomed because it opens with promise of speedy repose, and with . the an nouncement that furloughs and' retirements are about to be granted. immediately. It is probable that several regiments will soon be on their way home, and that the Military. Train will be the fi rs t asked for volunteer's for India before it proceeds to England. Our information respecting the enemy to-day is to the effect that they are collected in the valley of the Raptee, beyond the first low range of hills visible in our front. 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 body of Major Horne was brought into camp this afternoon by some natives, who, stimulated by the promise of a reward, se arc hed 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 are some doubts as to the truth of the story, as no European saw the dead Sowers. 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 o ffi cers of the Rifle Brigade, Brigadier Horsf ord, Brigadier Richmond 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 Win. 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 Raptee, when spies 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 hero 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 their homes, 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 Belo 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. The force at present under the command of • Lord Clyde is constituted as follows :—Fraser's Horse Artillery troop, 6 guns ; 7th Hussars, 390 sabres ; her Majesty's 6th Dragoons, 150 sabres ; 6th Madras Cavalry, 80 sabres • Ist, or Hughes's Pun jab Cavalry, 350 sabres; Lennox's Company :Royal 26th ;s R ttro e o g wn i gh m ,i e cah n n t a , will 2 five com p an i es be co added d p wi e ad n n Engineers, 50 ; Rifle B r i ga d e , 750 ; h er M a j es t y ' s wing se Bel ootf h o e o hr a e h rw ßattaliongMajesty's about 4 40 00 0 20th, about 360.

PAUPERISM. —£1,910 , 6 0 8 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 p er cent. 788,248 paupers were in receipt of relief on the Ist of July last, and this is given as a fair average of the number re lieved in the half-year. The cost of in-maintenance and out-relief is 72 per cent, of the entire cost of the relief to the poor. FALL FROM DOVER CLeaIFF. re of age, son of the ar -On Thursday after noon, a little boy about nine y mourer sergeant of the 60th Rifles, while playing on the edge of the cliff, immediately iu front of the military skittle ground, overbalanced himself and full. Although the pre cipice is nearly 300 feet high, it has by different falls lost _ its perpendicula r, or rather at the depth of 0 feet from the summit forms an inclined plane. The velocity of the boy's fall was thus broken, but ho afterwards rolled down to the garden in the rear of Mr. Tharp 's house in Suargate-st ree t . He was i mme diately taken to the Military Hospital, and i s under the skilful care of the surgeon of that establishment, doing well. St ran g e to say, no bones were either broke n or dislocated, and t he p oor little fellow escaped with a s li g ht scalp wound, and bruises.—Dover Chronicle.

In the above return of foreign-going ships it is possible that some ships may be included which have now ceased to exist, or are no longer employed as British ships; but such vessels have, whenever found possible to ascertain the fact, been struck off, and in no case has any ship been included which has not been reported as a foreign-going ship within four years. No home-trade ship is included which has not been reported within one year.
