It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. NEW AND IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN THE SCIENCE OP MEDICINE.

' BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management width cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, sting how t hose p enalties ma y be mitigated, how the of their bitterne ss ma y be remo ved , and how the evil a n there d its s c o e a n r so y u c a n: y e s d e m g r a e e y be o f p a h v y o as i derangement c to which the timel y Published e by J.

The guns which could not be brought away were rendered unserviceable. Behind_ the screen cf Campbell's outpOsts, Inglis's and Havelock's toil worn bands withdrew—then the latter . began also to refire ; the pickets fell back through the sup. ports, the supports glided away between the inter vals of the reserve—the reserve, when all had passed, silently defiled into the lane—thick dark ness shrouded the movement from the gaze of the enemy—and, hours after the position had been quitted, they w f- 7 • 7 7tdoned posts. Hope'S brigade, which had so j headed the, advance, had also covered the retreat. Before day light on the 23d inst., the last straggler had reael:ed the camp at nil Kooshar.

Hutton, Gas siotf; Penrhyn, jun., Tilson, Carter, Drew, Goose, Gurney, &c. The calendar contains the names of 12 prisoners only.. . . The CHAIRMAN, in charging the grand jury, sat • • he was afraid they must not come to the conclu sion, from the small number of cases that would be - brought before them upon the present occasion, that there was a diminution of crime in the county, as the great majority of the cases were disposed of at the Newington sessions. He had only a short time back gon - e_over the county prison at Wands worth; and he was sorry to find that it contained 700 prisoners, which was a much larger number than it was calculated for, and it was consequently found to be impossible to fully carry out the sys tern 'of Separation - among the prisoners, and - he - was -- afraidthereforethat the small number of prisoners at this session could not be taken as any indication of a decrease of crime in the county. The governors of the different prisons made their usual reports, and their respective establishments appeared to be in a healthy condition, and the in mates, generally speaking, orderly and well con cluded. A boy, ten years old, who had been com mitted to the Wandsworth Prison for felony, was fOund,•upon his reception there, to be insane, and lie has since been removed to the county lunatic • asylum by order of the Secretary of State. The Rev. Mr: J - Essorr,the chaplain of the county gaol, made his annual report, which extended, to cpnsiderable length, and referred to severaliim portanf and interesting matters connected with . ..crime and thcadthinistration of justice: He par- , 4eularly called the • attention of the Court tole manner in which the Criminal Justice Aet apPeared to be administered, and he stated that the magis trates appeared to be in • the constant practice of applying its provisions to the cases of -01d.,-and ,hardened - criminals, and • showed that in the pre sent year 1,024 prisoners had been committed under this statute for short periods ) of imprisonment, • whervis in the previous year only 1,018 hail been committed for trial to all the different sessions, and it appeared that instead of the Act, as was in tended, being made to apply to persons charged with a first offence, or who were young in crime, in many instances ticket-of-leave men, and prisoners who had been several times convicted, were merely sentenced to short periods of imprisonment, by which proceeding they were soon again turned loose upon the public, instead of being sent for trial, when a sentence that would prevent them from committing further de predations would be passed upon them. Col. CHALLONER, in the course of the reading of the report, interposed and said it appeared to him that the rev' gentiotogi in the report he . had made to the court had Tiustepped his duty, and had re- . ferred tojnatteie Ciflaw that were not within his province, - and ilia' the time of the magistrates was unneeessarilfythbod-by reading a long report upon such subjects.. , _. • Mr..l3lqscoE said he did not wish :at all to die tate to his brother magistrates, and if it was their Opinion that the report ought not to be read, he . should at once defer to it. He could not, however, help observing • that it appeared to him that the statements made by the rev. gentleman were of the greatest importance and interest in connection with the subjects of crime and the ad ministration of justice, and that they were deserv ing of serious consideration. Captain BEST said it appeared to him that the effect of the report was to dictate to the magistratc• the manner in which they ought to perform their duties and to administer the law. He considered that this was no part of the duty of the chaplain of a prison, and that the time of the Court ought not to be occupied by reading such a report. Mr. HUTTON said he believed that, upon a former occasion, something of the same sort occurred, and that a suggestion was conveyed to the rev. gentle man that he had better confine himself in future to reporting to the Court the matters connected with his own peculiar functions, and refrain from enter ing into any other matters, and this had had the desired effect, and he suggested that a similar course might be, taken on the present occasion. Mr. TILSON said, as one of the visitinn. ma strates, he thought it right to inform the - t that the chaplain had never called their atteniiiiii to the matters referred to in his report. The - Elsit 7 . ing magistrates were most anxious to listen toe.ve - Fy s id in uggestiones power to o a t t hre l e v mp a s ie.ids m yo na, and d a c o t:i t l hdetiniaa all b l 3 e i xh a ia n stt y el da d ny . It seemed to him that where such important matters as those contained in this report were brought to the notice of the Court by any of the gaol officials, the report ought first to be submitted to the visit ing magistrates for consideration, and, if such a step was considered advisable, the report might be printed and a copy sent to every magistrate of the county. The report was then received, and, after some of the ordinary county business had been disposed of, the Court adjourned. NOTES ON THE MAIL STEAM PACKET LINES. The present Government mail subsidy received by the Peninsular and Oriental Company is £244,200 a year. It is expected that the sum which the company will receive for carrying the Australian mails will augment their subsidy to something like £430,000 a year. Hitherto the Royal Mail Company have had the honour of being the largest receivers of mail subsidy, they having for some years been getting £270,000. a year. the distances, following is a comparative statement of the distances, stoppages, , time allowed, and ei average speed, including stoppages, at wh ich the.iiiai are convc7ed on some of the longest ocean mail lines. which allowedthe mail is 37 is days, The distance of the mail rou t e between Southampton and Buenos Ayres is 6, 411 miles.

This regiment expects to move to Dublin at the end of the month. The sth West York Regiment of Militia, after undergoing 21 days' exercise and training at Knaresborough, were dismissed' on Monday. On the previous Saturday the regiment, which is upwards of • 400 strong, was reviewed by Colonel Ellice, of the 24th, who at the conclusion compli mented the officers and men on their efficiency. At the • close of the review several of the men volunteered into the 4th Regiment of Infantry and the 60th Rifles. LORD CLYDE'S CAMPAIGN -IN INDIA. We extract the following interesting account of the relief of Lucknow .from Blackwood's Ataga- sine It is said to have been the Commander-inXhiers original intention to have crossed the Goomtee, and move up its left bank opposite to the Residency— there established his - heavy guns, under cover of their fire, thrown a bridge, and then drawn off the garrison. But upon this being submitted to Sir James Ontram, both he and - his chief engineer had so earnestly dissuaded him from it, on the-ground of local obstacles, that, yielding to their superior local knowledge, he had given it up, and determined to move by•the right bank: An additional reason, probably, was :also found .in the great extent of country which. the army must have gone over to reach the - point originally intended, and the danger of leaving a fordless river in its views of -'3ir James Outran' were brought, and an invaluable guide "secured,qto Sir C. Campbell, by Mr. Cavenagh, who,.quitting the Residency in the disguise of a native, passed throUgh the enemy's lines without being discovered, and reached in safety' the camp near Biinnee Bridge. An attempt more daring in conception, and more hazardous in execution, was never made. At 9 o'clock on the morning of the 14th-the flank march . began. From the firstitivas evident that the enemy were taken by surprise: No opposition was made. Small bodies were seen hastily endeavour- 1 ing to throw up cover near the city on the different . roads we 'crossed it' 'right IngleS . ; whilst our- pro- ". gress was watched by scouts perched. in the utter most branches of the trees which fringed the fields we were traversing. As the advanced guard ap proached the park wall of the Dil Kooshar, a smart fire of Matchlocks was opened upon our left, but was soon overpowered by the light artillery. An ad vance was next briskly made by a considerable body of Skirmishers through a 'grove of old trees inside the park, beneath the' deep • shade of which their white dresses, gliding on from trunk to trunk, and the bright. flash of their musketry, had a strange and striking effect. They were, how ever, speedily driven back out of the Dil Kooshar house, and over the Crest of the plateau, down to the Martiniere beneath. On our troops reaching the edge of this plateau, a heavy fire of artillery and musketry came upon them from the Martiniere, and the broken ground and enclosures, around it ; but the fire of our field-batteries and Travers' 18- pounders soon got the superiority.. The infantry skirmishers 'rushed down the slope. The Mar tiniere was evacuated' at their approach, and all the ground on this side of the canal was won. An at tempt-to turn our left flank *and fall on our rear was about this time repulsed. Opposite our left was a bridge over the canal. To its edge, at This point, the enemy advanced in great strength about half-past four p.m., bringing up several guns, and attacking with considerable spirit. Hope's brigade was here opposed to them. The 93d, lining a mud wall opposite the bridge, forbade the passage. On the high ground to their left Peel's 24-pounders, ' with Bouchier's field-battery, were placed. Their heavy and concentric fire on the angle formed by the canal near the bridge fairly crushed the enemy out of it, while a rapid advance of the 53d and Sikhs secured a lodgment . in a part of the suburb on the other side. Con centrated round the Martiniere, Hope on the left, Russell on the right, Greathed in rear—the artil lery on the high ground to the left, the cavalry on the summit of the plateau, around the Dil Kooshar house, behind the centre. The army passed the night tentless, and sleeping with their arms by their side. The commencement of the great attack had been fixed for the next day ; but the necessity of bringing up provisions and small arm ammuni tion from Alum Bagh, which, by a misapprehen sion of orders, had not come up in time, caused 24 hours' delay. An attack upon the picquets posted on the low grounds by the river, on our extreme right flank; made by two Horse Artillery guns, and a considerable body of infantry, was repulsed about midday, and a reconnaissance was subsequently made by the Commander-in-Chief of the position opposite our left, so as to impress our adversaries with the belief that there our advance was to be made. The massing of all our artillery in that directios, and a fire of mortars directed during the night on the same point, together with the absence of all outposts pushed forward on our right, served to strengthen this opinion. Early on the 16th the army was in motion. The line of advance was from our extreme right along the river bank for 'about a mile, and then by a , ‘narrow and tortuous lane," irough thickly wooded !enclosures, and between low mud-houses, upen the .Secunder Bagh. A strong advanced guard of cavalry, with Blunt's troop of Bengal Horse Artillery, and a company of the 53d, led the way. Hope's and Russell's brigades followed, the ammu nition and en g ineer park came next, and Greathed's brigade brought up the rear. The Martiniere and Dil Kooshar were held by the cavalry and the Bth foot (detached from Greathed), where the field hos pital and baggage were left. The 75th foot and a Sikh Regime had been left at Alum Bagh. Thus there remained actually disposable for the relief of the Residency- only the 93d, and part of the 53d foot, two weak Sikh regiments, two provisional battalions of detachments, and portions of the 23d and 82d regiments, not above three thousand bayonets ; while before them lay the whole armed force of Oude, numbering at least sixty thousand men, concentrated in a central position of great strength. The lane or narrow defile through the wood, into which the advanced guard now plunged, makes a sharp turn to the left before it reaches the Secunder Bagh, and then runs parallel to, and about one hundred and twenty yards from, that building. The enemy at first had evidently been taken by surprise, for no opposition was made; but on our reaching this point, a sharp musketry fire was opened from the houses and wooded enclosures on our right. A few minutes before the first shot, an officer of the staff had remarked to his right hand comrade, " If these fellows allow one of us to get out of this cul-de-sac alive, they deserve every one of them to be hanged." Taken at every disadvan tage, the struggle was now most critical. The company of the 53d lined the enclosures bordering on the lane with skirmishers, but they were too few in number to make any way, and it was some time before the 93d could be got up to reinforce them. Meanwhile the cavalry, jammed together, could do nothing, and the high earth banks on each side offered what seemed to be an impossible obstacle to artillery. The Secunder Thigh is a high-walled enclosure about one hundred yards square, with towers at the angles, and well loopholcd ; one hundred yards farther up the lane is another large building, or serai, also loopholed, and occupied in force. The opening between these two, expo se d t o th e fi re o f b j etli, was the only clear space on which it was possible -to plant guns to bear upon the former building. Into this opening, accordingly, up the steep and seemingly impracticable bank, Blount, with a wonderful energy both of men and 'horses, led his artillery troop.. It was swept by a deadly cross-fire of musketry, hut through it he dashed at the gallop, and, umlimbering, opened on the Se cunder Bagh. The 93d coming up at the same time, drove the enemy . entirely out of the houses and enclosures bordering on the lane, and expelled them from the large semi beyond the Secunder Bagh, thus secur ing an access to the open neck of ground, which had to be passed over before a point could be reached open enough for the head or the column to deploy. Traver's heavy field-battery next 'arrived, and the sappers and miners having cut down part of the high bank, two of his 18-pounders were, after great exertions, dragged up by the infantry, and put in position against the nearest angle of the Secunder Bagh. Their fire, in less than an hour, opened two large holes in it. The assault was then given by the 4th Punjaub Rifles and 93d, suppo:ted by the 53d and a batta lion of detachments. It was a glorious rush. On went, in generous rivalry, the turban of the Sikh and-the dark plume of ,the Highlander. A native officer'of the Sikhs, waving his tuiwar above his head, dashed on full five yards in front of his men. „The Highlanders, determined not to be left behind, ,strained nerve and limb in the race._ Their officers led like gallant gentlemen, shaking itheir broad s ,vords in the air. Two young ensigns, springing over a low mud-wall, gave the colours of the regi meat to the breeze. Paul with voice and action urged on his wild followers. Ewart, amongst the first of the Scots, clambered through the narrow opening in the wall ; and soon the interior of the building rang with the sharp tones of musketry, and resounded with the cries of struggling men. Theholes through which the assailants were climb ing would not give admittance to the supports as they came up, and great part of them, rushing on to the left, assailed the gate.. After some time it gave way to the constant discharge of muskets at O'clock, and through it, in' they pf,nred. Away on the right the 53d had also forced in a window; whilst the sappers and miners had, enlarged the openings at the angle. But still with desperate 'courage the defence went on. Firing down from the doors and windows of the rooms which sur rounded the great courtyard in the centre, fighting hand-to-hand with their,tulwars against those who charged home with the bayonet, the sepoys main tained the struggle unabated for hours ; and when at last the embers of the 'contest expired with the setting sun, more than two thousand corpses lay heaped upon one another in the interior of that vast charnel-house. Whilst this fierce contest was raging in the Secunder Bagh, some companies • of the 53d and 93d, supported by two of Blount's guns, had ad vanced through. the openino . , and Pushed. on across the open plain beyond to their left front. The 93d, on the left., attacked and effected a lodgment in the large building called The Barracks ;" while the 53d, stretched as skirraishers ; over the plain, united the two attacks. , After passing between the serai and Secunder 'het, the _road to the Residency leads straight across an open plain about twelve hundred yards broad. About three hundred yards eking this road there is a small village, with garden enclo 7 sures round it ; while about two hundred and fifty yards further on, and one hundred yards to the right of the road, stood the Shell Nujjeef, a large mosque, situated in a garden enclosed by a high loopholed wall. This wall is nearly square, and very strong. Between it and the plain is a thick fringe of jungle and enclosures, with trees and scattered mud cottages, which make it imposSible to get a distant view of the place until you come close on it. Between it and the Secwicler Bagh, amidst jungles and enclosures, to our right of the little plain, was a building on• a high mound, called the Kudflum Russell. _ Hope, having now drawn off his brigade from the Seen - nder Bagh; led 'it - against • the village, Which, cl he cleareand occupied without much diffi culty ; while . Peel brought up. his 24-pounders, niortars, and rocket-frames, and placed them in batter) , against the Shah "Nujjeef in an oblique line, with their left resting on the village. The musketry fire which streamed' unceasingly from that building and the ,sturoundingsnclosures, was most biting and severe; and after nearly three hours' .battering it was still unsubducd. An at tempt, made with great gallantry by Major Barn ston, with, his battalion of detachments, to drive the enemy from the fringe of jungle and enclosures in front, by setting fire to the houses, proved un successful ; but on the right the Kuddum Russul was assaulted and carried by a party of Sikhs. In the narrow lane leading up from the'rear mean while, the utmost confusion prevailed. The animals carrying the ordnance and engineer supplies, un able to advance from the enemy's fire in front— unable to get out on either, side, and pressed for ward by those in rear—got completely jammed,in somuch, that an officer, sent to bring up ammuni tion and all Greathed'sl disposable infantry to the now hard-pressed front, had the utmost difficulty to get the men along in single file ; whilst some houses having been wantonly set on fire by the eamp-followers, the passage was for a time entirely blocked up ; and it was only when the flames were abating that a string of. camels, laden with small arm ammunition, which was urgently required by the troops engaged, .could with great risk and toil be forced through the narrow and scorching pass. Even then, however, the confusion near the Seem der Bagh had got to such a pitch, that all passage had become impossible ; and had it not been that a staff-officer discovered a by-path leading into a broad road which abutted upon the Secunder Bagh, neither men nor ammunition could have been brought up. In frontsof the Shah Nujjeef the battle made no way. The enemy, about four o'clock, got a heavy gun to bear upon us from the opposite bank of the river, and:their very first shot blew 'up one of Peel's tumbrils, whilst their deadly musketry had obliged him to withdraw the men from one of his pieces and 'diminished the fire - on the others.' The men were falling fast ; even Peel's usually bright face became pale and anxious. Sir Colin sat on his white horse, exposed to the whole storm of shot, looking intently on the Shah Nujjeef, which was wreathed in columns of smoke from the burning buildings in front, but sparkled all over with the bright flash of small arms. It was now apparent that the crisis of the battle had come. Our heavy artillery could not subdue the fire of the Shah Nujjeef—we could not even hold permanently our present advanced 'position under it. But retreat to us there was none •, by that fatal lane our reflu ent force could never be withdrawn. Outram, and, Havelock, and Inglis, with our women and chil dren, were in the front, and England's honour was pledged to bring them scatheless out of the fiery furnace. What shot and shell could not do the bayonets of the infantry must accomplish. But the crisis was terrible. Even as the fate of the Trench empire hung at - Wagram on the footsteps of. Macdonald's co l umn , so did the fate of our In dian doniinions depend that day on the result of the desperate assault now about to be undertaken. Collecting the 93d about him, the Commander in-Chief addressed a few words to them. Not concealing the extent of the danger, he told them that lie had not intended that day to have em ployed them again, but that the Shah Nujjeef must be taken ; that the artillery could not 1;:•:n7 fire under, so that they must win it with the bayonet. Giving them a few plain directions, he told them that he would go on with them himself. To execute this design, Middleton's battery of the Royal Artillery was ordered to pass Peel's guns on the right, and, getting as close as possible to the Shah Nujjeef, to open a quick and, well-sustained fire of grape. Peel was to redouble his, and the 93d to form in column in the open plain, close to the village, 'ready to rush on. Middleton's battery came up magnificently. With loud cheers, the drivers waiving their whips, the gunners their caps, they galloped forward through that deadly fire to within pistol-shot of the wall, unlimbered, and poured in round after round of grape. Peel, manning all his guns, worked his pieces with redoubled energy, and, under cover of this iron storm, the 93d, excited to the highest de gree, with flashing eyes and nervous tread, rolled on in one vast wave. The grey-haired veteran of many fights rode, with his sword drawn, at their head; keen was his eye, as when in the pride of youth he led the stormers at St. Sebastian. His staff crowded round him. Hope, too, with his towering form and gentle smile, was there, lead ing, as ever vas his wont, the men by whom he was loved so well. As they approached the nearest angle of the enclosure - the soldiers began to drop fast ; but, without a check, they reached its foot. There,. however, they were brought to a stand. The wall, perfectly entire, was nearly 20 feet high, and well loopholed •, there was no breach, and there wereno scaling-ladders. Unable to 'advance, un willing to retire, they halted and commenced a musketry battle with the garrison •, but all the advantage was with the latter, who shot with se curity from behind their loops, and the High landers went down fast before them. At this time nearly all the mounted officers were either wounded or dismounted. Hope and his aide-de camp were both 'rolling on the ground at the same moment, with their horses shot under them ; his major of brigade had just met with the same fate ; two of Sir Colin's staff had been stricken to the earth ; a party, who had been pushed on round the angle to the gate, had found it so well covered by a new work in masonry as to be perfectly unas sailable. Two of Peel's guns were now brought up to within a few yards of the wall. Covered by the fusilade of the infantry, the sailors shot fast 4: and strong ; fell but, though the masonry soon ;_ _ off in flakes, it came down down so as t o leave the mass behind perpenicular, and as inaccessible as ever. Success seemed now impoSsible : Even Hope and Peel, these two men, iron of will and ready of resource, could see no way. Anxious and care worn grew Sir Colin's brow. The dead and wounded were ordered to be collected and carried to the rear. Some rocket frames were brought up, and threw in a volley precision fthes e fief y projectiles, with such admirable that, just skimming over the top of the te ram part, they plunged hissing into the interior of the building, and searched it out with a er d destroying w force. Under cover of this the guns were off. The shades of evening were fallin g fat— the could not much longer be. continued, Then, THE NAVY. The Simoom steam troopship is daily expected it Spithead with a large number of invalids from Cal cutta. The Pique, 40, Capt. Sir F. Nicholson and the Nankin, 50; Commodore the Hon. Keith Stewart, are also shortly expected, with a consider able number of invalids from the China and India stations. The allowance to soldiers' wives serving in India of 6d. per day, and of 2d. per day for each child, having been ordered to cease as soon as their husbands land in England, instructions have been issued that immediate information is to be for- Warded to theia of their husbands' arrival, in order that they may at once apply to the paymasters of - their -respective localities for railway . transit aiid - sustenance money to enable them to join their hus bands at the Invalid Depot, Chatham,, or the regi mental depot, as the case may be. The Lords of the Admiralty have it in contem plation to effect a very consi derable augmentation in the Coastguard. Twenty ships of war now in commission are ordered home from foreign stations, and a, very considerable portion of their crews, numbering upwards of 4,000 men, will be . em ployed in this service. The screw steam storeship Himalaya, Captain Seacombe, after receiving extensive repairs in Key ham steam yard, has - been in the Channel to try her engines. She ran from the Plymouth Break water to the Eddystone, 101 nautical miles, in 41 minutes 10 seconds, and back against a very strong wind, in 56 minutes. The Himalaya is now fitted with Griffith's screw propeller, which is said to cause no vibration of the ship even when going at full speed. The ceremony , of launching the screw steamship Edgar, 91, at Woolwich, which was inadvertently stated to have been appointed for the 31st instant, will take place on Saturday next, the 23d instant. The principal entrance to the dockyard will be thrown open to visitors indiscriminately about 1 o'clock on the day of the launch. Her Majesty's. screw steam gunboats of 60-horse power each, the Biter and the Leveret, arrived at Woolwich yesterday to be overhauled and undergo repairs in boilers and machinery. The freight-ship Lansdowne yesterday shipped ammunition from Woolwich, and sailed with a cargo of war stores for Sydney. The heavy brass gun captured in China, and re cently brought to England by her Majesty's 40- gunship Sybille, Commodore the Hon. C. G. J. B. Elliot, was yesterday removed from 'Woolwich Arsenal for conveyance to - Windsor. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—A. Nugent, midshipman, to the Royal Albert ; R. 0. L.

Fi6.hardinge Berkeley, C. 8., of the 32d Regiment, whose (loath appeared in our obituary yesterday, was eldest son of the late General Sir George Henry Berkeley, K.C.8., and was born the 10th of October, 1818. He entered the army. in May, 1836. The deceased colonel served as military secretary to his father, Lieut.- General Sir G. H. Berkeley, during the successful operations against the Caffres, in 1847. He also served in:the Eastern campaign of 1854 and 1855, and was severely wounded at the battle of the Alma. Colonel Berkeley, in consequence, returned home invalided. The gallant deceased exchanged with Lieut.-Colonel IL V. Brooke, C. 8., from the Scots Fusilier Guards to the 32d Regiment in July, 1857, and at once proceeded to India.to join the head-quarters of his regiment, of which he succeeded to the chief command on the promotion of Major-General Sir John E. W. Inglis, the hero of Lucknow. It was while serving with his gal lant corps - in India that he contracted his fatal illness. He died on the 25th ult., on board the Simla, off the Island of-Socotra. He received the Caffre medal ) - the medal and a clasp for 'Sebastopol and the Alma, was .recently nominated a Com panion of the Order of the Bath, and had received for his services in the East the Order of the Medjidic of the fourth class. His commissions bore date as. follows: —Ensign, May 27, 1836 ; Lieu tenant and C ls a t l a B i n is , A ; AprilAl t l a 4 i n , 18 a n 3 ;4 d L By i e r u e t... e c t - o Major 1 0nei, September December 13, 1850 ; and Colonel, June 19, 1856. A detachment of the Royal Artillery, assisted by a company of ihe Royal Forfarshire Militia Artil lery, detached for that service from the head quarters at Bray, have been for some days past mounting 56 and 68 pounder guns in the Martello Towers, Dublin-bay, which completely command all entrance to the harbour. Galway hay and the west coast of Ireland are also being fortified. The 10th, 32d Light Infantry, 78thlHighlanders, and 84th Foot are ordered home from India, all the effective men joining other corps. Yesterday orders were issued for the erection of two buildings for schools _ at Aldersliott for the especial instruction of the children of soldiers who may - be quartered in the encampment.

STAMPED, 513. as a last resource—the last throw of a des e p fna e sifug r ors a orniei te tndie. game—Adrian Hope, collecting some fifty mel, stole Silently and cautiously . through the jungle and brushwood away to the right, to a portion of the wall on which he had, before the assault, thought he perceived some injury to have been inflicted. Reaching it unperceived, a single fissure was found. Up this a single man was, with some diffiulty,' pushed; he saw no one near the spot, and helped up Hope, Ogilvy (attached to the Madras Sappers), Allgood, the Astistant Qum t2r master-General, and some others. The numbers inside soon increased, and as they did so they ad vanced, gradually extending their front. A body of sappers, sent for in haste, arrived at the double; the opening was enlarged, the supports rushed in. Meanwhile Hope's' small party, pushing on, to their great aAonishnient found themselves almost un n opposed. garrisonl lo ; :l e nlttihihncoeg- its.ormuckocte assailantst w e, si a pn s apti j oia ; :v s just tleistit dark Gaining the gate, they threw it open for their comrades.

Never had there been a harder fought day, but neverW7S there a result gained more satisfactory. The relief of the Residency, an affair in the highest degree problematical in the morning, was now all but certain. I We' had' won our footing on the plain, we had secured' a base on which to plant our guns. Time and .artillery, with, sure . but unerringsteps, would do the 'rest.' - Taken - Beth our batteries and the Residency gunsi:we)were) pretty Certain to expel the enemy from the interv en i ng build, ing. To-day we had fought fOr existence, to-morrow we would throw for - victory.' To retire, indeed, froin. thilv.point Wnuld be nearly as difficult as to win it ; but the prestige of success throws a buckler round the conquerors. Anxiously during this day had we strained our eyes, frequently had we stooped our ears, hoping to gain some indi;. cation of Outram's progress, looking wearily for the flash of his musketry in the enemy's rear, to lighten us from the load under which we were struggling. But hour after hour passed by, and no bickering tide of war came up to us from the east. Some times, amidst the roar of the battle, we thought we could distinguish the dull sound of a more distant canonade, - but nothing certain could be niade . eut. We did not then know how formidable was the mass of buildings - still interposed between, rendering such active co-operation impossible. But there was joy now in everTheart—there - was :light in every eye. Not in vain now had. Greathed's toil-worn bands pushed on in hot haste from Delhi's smoking rampaits—notin vain had the Highlanders haStened Over the stormy mains from their distant mountain homes—for the blool of our . defenceless women would not now - ascend reeking to the-heavens—the voice of Rachel mourning for her ;children, and re fusing, to be , comforted, because they were not, would not now'be heard.. '. • . Much, hoWever, still remained to be done. "jOir small force occupied most extended position-7-the road to the rear was winding and difficult—the enemy had . during the day attacked both the Mar; tiniere and Dil Kooshar, and shown themselves in force on the road to Alum Bagh, while on the other - side of the Goon - am their outpoSts swarmed on the edge of the woods. No 'tents had accompanied our march—no Camp-fires could be lighted. Silently in their ranks the men lay . down to rest; Ere the 'grey light of morning had been seen in the heavens,. the bells of the city had rung loud and clear, and the beating of many drums been heard. An attack seemed to be impending, arid everywhere the ranks were formed; but either the enemy, finding us prepared, changed their mind, or it had not been intended, for no one came-=only a drooping fire of round shot into the field hospital caused both alarm and injury to the wounded, who lay there shelterless and unprotected. Ammunition was now brought up, both for the heavy guns and small arms, and the mode and plan of the attack ar ranged, and its execution at once, set about. Unlike the preceding.day, no sudden assaults, no desperate rushes were to be made, The heavy guns, howit zers, and mortars, planted in battery, were .to open fire on the Mess House, the next. great building which lay in our way. When its defences had been completely ruined, it . was to be occupied, and from thence operations against the Motoc Mahal undertaken: Then our communication with the Residency would: be open, 'though exposed. to a flanking fire from the Kaiser Bagh. Peel commenced the operations of the day by a steady, well-directed fire from the Mess House. This was-a post of considerable strength, being de fended by a ditch twelve feet broad, surmounted by a loopholed Wall behind. During the whole day the fire of his guns continued unabated. About three in the afternoon; its musketry having been almost entirely got under, it was assailed by a company of the 90th and a detachment_ of the 53d, and carried with little loss ; and the troops, excited with - their success, pursued the fugitive garrison to the wall which separated it from the Motee Mahal. This, too, was presently broken through by the Sappers, and the numerous buildings, surrounded by a large enclosure, forming the latter post, were won. The communication with the Residency was now open, though the way to it was exposed to the enemy within easy musket-shot. Outram and Havelock, running the gauntlet, rode out to meet their deliverer. The task of the latter was nearly accomplished. The defending and relieving force had shaken hands. On the afternoon of the 16th, Havelock, observ ing the progress of Sir Colin's army, had made a sally with the whole disposable force of the garri son, and carried, without sustaining any very severe loss, the posts of the Hern Khana and Steam-Engine House., The occupation of these positions enabled the communications between the two forces to be effected as soon as the Motee Mahal was carried. But a most difficult and dangerous task still re mained. The garrison, with women and children, sick awl w-11:1 . ;ul - is and stores, had to be with drawn ; and to effect this in the face of the vast force of the enemy was no easy task. One narrow winding lane alone led to the rear, and through it the whole force had to be filed. To protect the march of the convoy, the whole of the immense line, extending from the ruined walls of the Resi dency to the wooded park of the 1)il Kooshar, re quired to be held, and this gave a most hazardous extension to our forces—far too weak for the main tenance of so extended a position. To keep any considerable reserve in hand was impossible ; and to such a dangerous extent did this at last come, that when, on the afternoon of the 18th instant, a vigorous attack was directed by the enemy upon the centre of our line, the only troops which re mained in,the -bands of the Commander-in-Chief, to support the menaced point with, were two weak companies of infantry and Remmington's troop of Bengal horse-artillery. The conduct of this troop was the admiration of all beholders ; the rapidity of its advance through most difficult ground being only equalled by the beauty and accuracy of its fire. The measures necessary to secure the safety of the convoy, and cover the withdrawal of the force, may be resolved into two—the getting under the fire of the Kaiser Bagh, and the securing of our left flank in the " Barracks" and adjoining build ings. The former, to enable the convoy to reach the position of Sir Colin's force—the latter to Pro tect its passage to the Dil Kooshar, through the narrow and tortuous lane .alreadr the left, frequently referred to, which led from our rig it, in rear of left, to the Martiniere. To effect the last object a communication esta blished, was, on the 17th instant, with mu ch trouble,to the canal, leading from the Barrack e s canal, in rear of our left , a nd our position in the post n l g o h s t e o t fo thet h e 17th, Banks' House, an that building strengthened . importantthe extreme left., was ca rr i e d line of the canal, on by a party of the 2d Punjaub Infantry. .During the whole of the I.7th and 18th an incessant musketry fire was kept up by the enemy upon this part of our position , from Which we suffered consi derably. Brigadier Russell was severely - wounded on the latter day, and his successor in the com mand, Colonel Bidulph, killed ; but, Under the direction of COlonel Hale, of H.M. 82d, the whole of the operations necessary to the securing of this important point were successfully carried out, and all the buildings which required to be occupied won. But the service was a most severe and harassing one to the troops engagel, who; hardly enjoyed a moment's respite-from attack. But the work was now drawing near its conclu sion. On the morning: of the 20th, Peel, with all our heavy guns, opened fire upon the. Kaiser Bagb, and for three days it went on increasing . in its 'severity. The enemy suffered severely, especially from the bursting of our shells in its court-yards crowded -with troops ; and by the evening of the 22d, not only had its means of offence and annoy- Ance been nearly destroyed, but three breach - es were gaping in it swalls, and everything betokened an assault during the ensuing night or morning: This was the moment chosen, when the attenti( n , of the enemy was entirely directed to the defence jot this :important point, for the eyactution.of the ild ken she fer- fair 51; s to No [uite la e a a ll the gain 1 tho th 6 Lout ) 33a ) 3 1a ) 324 ) 20s 54s per Bich dug 20s 47s ting were tort tlbs.
