CITY, Two o'CLocx. The progress of business in City circles, as usual at this period of the year, presents no features of public interest. The attention of all who are en gaged in business is absorbed in the arrangements of annual accounts, and other routine proceedings , necessary for bringing the affairs of the old year to a termination. There is consequently very little information to furnish in this department. A fea ture, however, which attracts observation is the sus tained inquiry for discount accommodation, and the increasing exportation of specie to the continent• and to the East. During the ensuing month the shipments of both gold and silver will represent a large aggregate amount. To China very heavy remittances are likely to be made, in consequence of the late advance in the exchanges at Hong kong and Shanghai. Consignments to the conti- nest will, therefore, be stimulated for the purchase of the requisite supplies of that metal. It is not expected, however, that any material inroad will yet be made upon the stock of bullion at the Bank of England, as it is imagined that the arrivals from Australia and other resources will be maintained on an extensive scale. The bar silver brought by the last West India steamer has been disposed of at 611 d. per ounce standard, and the few Mexican dollars at 610. per ounce. In the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon no material alteration was apparent. The Norman has arrived from the Cape of Good Hope with £3,380. The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, closed steadily, and prices were unaltered. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market the transactions were of a very limited character, and at about former values. The English Stock Market continues in a very inactive state, although indications of firmness are still apparent. Speculative dealings are still of the most limited description, and until the present account is liquidated, namely, on the 11th proximo, an active resumption of business is scarcely antici pated. Consols are about 961 97—the bona Ale, as well as the time dealings, not being sufficiently extensive or diversified to create fluctuation. Bank. Stock is flat at 225. The New Threes are marked 974 t, and the Reduced 971 4. Long Annuities are 11. The March Exchequer Bills are 365. to 395. prem. ; and the June ditto, 365. to 395. prem. India Loan Debentures are heavy at 991 4, and the Bonds 17s. prem. In the Foreign Stock Market the dealings have been of a rather limited description, and prices are steady. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 92 1; the Scrip, Ist issue, 14 to 1 dis. ; ditto, 2d, 1 to 4 dis. ; Chilian Loan has been dealt in at par to 4 prem.; Brazilian sper Cents, are firm, at 103 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. at 48; the Deferred at 31,4 ; Venezuelan 5 per Cents. at 44g7 Russian 5 per Cents. remain at 113 ; and Dutch 21 per Cents. receded to 664 and 67. The settlement of the account has been the chief business attended to in the. Railway Share Market to-day, and prices have been well maintained. Several of the principal lines show an improve ment of about 4to 2 per cent. Chester and Holy head, Great Northern, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lindoln have advanced 55.; Eastern Counties, Great Western, Midland, and North British, 10s. ; and North Western and South Eastern, 15s. South Western have declined about 10s. The foreign lines have been neglected, and prices are nominal. In the Colonial Market, East Indian receded 10s., and great Western of Canada 55., Grand Trunk of Canada brought about former quotations. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are very quiet, no alteration of importance having taken place in prices. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

Thomas Bel nd 'haw, 80 well 'known as connected with exhibitions of arts manufactures for the last twenty years, especially by Exhibition recei v i ng an d manag i ng the goods, &c., at the Great K ensington. of 18.51, died on Thursday, the 23 d inst., at 4 ensington. Mr. Belshaw has been suffering the last three Years from injuries received on board the Berwick transport going out to the Crimea in charge of the 3d division of the Army Works Corps. The remainder of the gold by the Kent, 439 °,744, has been bought for exportation ; £125,000 is on Iteeeunt of the new Chilian loan, and will be sent to Chili Uy the next West India steamer. According to a note from Captain E. S. Brine, her commander, the Kent made her passage from Melbourne in 79, instead of 80 days ; and the ,antity of gold on board (including, it is presumed, all ` 4 ,,,e amounts in private hands) was £500,000, instead of ' 90 ,744. A telegram f r om St. P e t ers burg announces that „ Exchange on London, which very recently touched has suddenly relapsed to 361 The absence of coun , hance to the hasty assumption that a loan would be ', - x'ought forward immediately, has perhaps a good deal to 'a with this movement. The tallow market is reported qltiet, at 166 ro., with 10 ro. down, for delivery in August. tie PPREHENSION OF AN ESCAPED CONVICT.—A .

He has been sent back to Kilmarnock.—Glasgow SIIA RE 'IS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Share Railwayr. Share - Railways. Paid . Fri Cloa.ngßusiness Done. • 12.10 Amberg., Lvotting.

There is sufficient ;n the book to engage the attention agreeably and profitably, and it is therefore a welcome addition to the fictions of the day, and has every chance of meeting with the same success that attended the author's previous productions. A Dictionary of Political Economy. By H. Dun ning Macleod, Esq., of the Inner Temple. Part 1. Longman. • This is the first part of a very remarkable and valuable work—one which has no competitor in our language, though it treats of a subject which is calculated to excite th e i n t eres t an d d eve l ope t h e faculties of the profoundest thinkers and most cul tivated Minds. Political Economy is a science which, in its wide ramifications, involves so many vital questions ofn ation al prosperity,an d affects indirectly the happiness of so many millions, that it should be a subject of congratulation to the public when a work of this character makes its appearance in the literary world, with the avowed object of collecting and classifying all existing information on the sub ject. A work of a similar nature, we are told, has been brought out in Paris, the production of thirty eight of the most eminent Politico-Economists of Trance, but none such exists in the English language. This omission is the more remarkable when we call to mind the many eminent names which rank among the list of our countrymen which have distinguished themselves iu this science, one which from its peculiar character seems particularly adapted to the English taste and intellect. The following programme of the work explains its object and design in a clear and intelligible manner. " It will contain—Biographical notices of all persons who have contributed to advance the science, according to their relative importance, with a list of their works. Original articles on each branch of the subject, exhibiting, where necessary, full and accurate detail, of business • and the views of all preceding writers of eminence will be brought together and Critically examined. An analysis of all the principal works on the subject, exhibiting the distinguish mg features of the opinions and system of each writer. A critical examination of each work, indicating how far it has advanced, and the permanent truths it has added to, the science ; in what points it is defective, and what it has left to be done by succeeding writers. Much valuable infor mation, many germs of impOrtant theories, several of the chief doctrines, and many of the ()Anions of eminent per sons, in political economy, are only to be found in .pamph lets and other fugitive writings. A distinguishing fea ture of this work will be, that copious and literal extracts will be given from such pamphlets, etc., containing all such facts, opinions, and doctrines as are of permanent value. It will be preceded by a Preliminary Dissertation, contain ing a narrative of the rise and progress of the science from the earliest times, being a complete history of ide as on th e subject up to the latest form it has assumed. It will thus bring together a greater body of information on the subject than is contained in any other work, and it is hoped that it will greatly facilitate the labours of all future writers and others interested in the science. It will be published in parts of ninety-six pa g es each, royal octavo, double column's. Price 4s. each part. It is expected to be com pleted in 15 parts, in the course of two years. The follow mg parts will appear as speedily as can be done, with due regard to the efficiency of the work." One of the most prominent of the articles in this part is the one headed " Axioms and Definitions" which treats largely of the nature of the science. The following paragraph exemplifies the lucid style in which this difficult question is treated— "With respect to the conception of the science itself, we have shown the advantage o bt a i ne d b y f ram i ng suc h a de finition of it, as shall be free from the objection which Mr. Mill has justly brought forward against the ones in com mon use. By treating it as the science which treats of the laws which regulate the exchangeable relations of quanti ties, we obviate the objections which have been justly urged against considering it as the science which treats of the production, distribution, and consumption of wealth. For it at once draws a sharp and distinct line between an agri cultural product, and the art and science of agriculture, between any commercial product, and the art and process of producing it, and in general between any actual pro ducts, and their exchangeable relations, and the seve ral processes by which they are obtained. Thus we have a clear and distinct test of what the pure science of political economy includes, and what is to be considered beyond its limits. Because whatever causes an increase or diminution of the number of products, or varies their exchangeable relations, is a ques tion of pure political economy, the method or process of obtaining such products is a branch of the arts of com merce. Thus the causes which induce a greater or a diminished quantity of corn to be produced, and influence its price when produced, is a question of pure political economy, the improved modes of cultivation are part of the art and science of agriculture. But the question of found ling hospitals, and the influences they exert in increasing or diminishing the number of foundlings, is a question of pure political economy. So ragged schools and reforma tories, so long as they are considered with reference to the improvement or deterioration of the inmates of them, come under the denomination of morals, but if we consider their effects in increasing or diminishing the number of criminals, that is a question of political economy, and so on." The concluding passage of the same article is well worthy of perusal "We must now reluCtantly bring these remarks to a close. We have only selected a few prominent instances of the important effects of accurate notions, and not exhausted them. The considerations we have suggested would require a vohune for their proper development, and duly treated would touch the foundations of all science. For somewhat fuller details we must refer to the Preliminary Discourse, and to each separate leading term in the subject. We shall have done some little good, if we call attention to the causes of the very incomplete state of political economy at the pre sent time, and show that this is net due to anything in the science itself, but to the method in which it has been treated. There is but one possible mode of succeeding— namely, to follow the brilliant example set by physicists. Almost all erroneous doctrine springs from erroneous defini tion. The only way to remove these idola, fallacies, or misconceptions, is to form true definitions and axioms by genuine induction. The most eminent physicists thought no time lost, which was necessary to settle these elements, but economists are apt to despise such things, and the con sequence is, instead of the opinions of writers at the present day tending to uniformity, they are becoming more and more divergent every day. Theory and Practice must be brought into harmony with each other. But, to elaborate a just theory from the facts, certain qualifications are abso lutely indispensable :-1. A general knowledge of the mode of argument in experimental science, and a constant vigi lance to see that the arguments in political economy are in strict conformity to the standards of reasoning in natural philosophy. 2. A technical knowledge of the law of instru ments of credit, and some other things. 3. A technical knowledge of the mechanism of commerce and agriculture. Without these indispensable qualifications, it is a perilous task for any man to venture upon the troubled waters of political economy. " Nave senza nocchiero in gran tempests." When Galileo began to study natural philosophy, he put aside mathematics, never dreaming that there could be any connection between the two; a sentiment,too t that appears in Bacon. Galileo very soon found out his mistake. Many persons at the present . day may think that there is no con nection between political economy and natural philosophy. They are in just as great error as Galileo was. Political economy is a science of causes and effects prod u c e d b y th e properties of men, and its types and standards of reasoning are to be found in the science which treats of the causes and effects produced by the properties of matter. In both equally, the inductive logic reigns supreme. The same general method of investigation is common to each. And there is the same hope and encouragement to expect futura success,-that tlui Athenian orator gave to his countrymen, because their failure arose—not from the nature of the en terprise, but from their own errors. So it is with political economy. The unsatisfactory state in which it is at pre sent does not arise from the nature of the thing itself, but from its method of treatment. When economists pay the Onwards. By the author of " Anne Dysart," " Rosa Grey," &c. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This story possesses the same merits which have rendered the former works of this author favourites. Without belonging to the first class of novels, they attract by their sim plicity and unaffeected earnestness. The present story is a very interesting one on the whole, it relates the adventures that befel two young people in their arduous endeavours to make an onward progress. There is sufficient dif ference marked in the characters of James Carver and Honor Sky, to impress the mind of the reader with the contrast. Both were very clever childre n , an d f ar i n advance of all their companions ; but the feeling of conscious superiority animated them very differently. While James only thought how he could rise and trample down under foot all who opposed him, how when rich himself he should repay with interest the taunts with which he had been assailed when poor, The gentle Honor dwelt alone on the power to do good with which her talents endued her, and she ever sought to rendcrherself more competent to impart to others that instruction for which she had so often sighed in vain in the days of childhood, and which, when she at last gained she prized and loved as a rich benefit and a great blessing. The record of her career as a scholar and a teacher is full of a quiet interest, and the details are all naturally given. Some of the persons who appear on the scene, are very well sketched. Mr. Mauleverer, for instance, with his pompous plausibility and self-sufficiency, is a decided suc cess. Mr. St. John is a very different character, but a far more pleasing one. He was peculiarly adapted to the profession he had - chosen, with his quick perception of talent, and his ready appreciation of worth, he was indeed an invaluable friend to the poor and needy, and a benefactor to the young aspirant. He was the first to recognise the abilities of tho two children, and he at the same time admired the varying qualities of each. The passages which relate the engagement between James and Honor are excitingly narrated, and the heroine acts in a manner becoming her early promise of excellence. There is another source of interest in the fortunes of Frank and Mary Austen, and the episode of Mary's brother, William Hurst, is an agreeable diversion to the i nc id en t s o f a school life, and the simple details of Honors's humble friends. The moral of the story is con veyed in the fact of James Carver's ambitious schemes at last passing beyond the restraints of rectitude, and he being compell e d t o l eave th e country for ever, only saved from an ignominious fate by the interposition of Honor with his betrayed friends. She is left peaceful, if not happy in the faithful discharge of her duties, which she truly thinks are worthy objects to which to dedicate her life, and she reflects that to succeed 49 M 96 98 1103 105 6 64 100 10.3 115 120 109 112 115 117 113 115 131 133 84 86 7.21 73i 113 115 122 124 112 114 106 108 CI 66 101 111 95 97 86 88 87 89 90 101 91 loi 16} 17 10 10i 72 74 18 19 9 9 13a 14 143 145 1120 122 1163 168 122 124 ip 68 72 142 144 104 106 90 97 9/ 91 114 111 9 10 110 112 99 100 i die p I 1 4 ip 2:1 24} 121 123 106 108 101 103 Stock' Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock 1.0.6.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN OLD OFFENDER CAUGHT IN THE ACT.—Mary Ann Sullivan, described as a charwoman, was charged with being found in a house in Upper Rupert-street. The evidence in the case showed that the prisoner, whose practice is to carry a bunch of keys with her, and enter any house that she may find the door left open, and then, when detected, to say she was looking 'Tor a "Mrs. Smith," on the previous day entered, by some means, the house No. 5, Upper Rupert-street, and commenced operations by in serting one of her keys into the lock of a bedroom of a person named Crewer, who happened to be in the room at the time, the door being locked, she having been unsuc cessful with the lock of the adjoining room. To her great surprise he opened the door, and, on asking her what she wanted, she merely replied that her object was not dis honest, and ran down stairs. Mr. crewer followed her down the stairs, and saw her pull a key from the lock, which was now produced. Dodsworth, 333 A, said he took the prisoner into custody, and at the station a bunch of keys, 11 in number, and suited to open any ordinary lock, was found on her. The prisoner, who was committed from this court some months since for tr similar attempt in Tottenham-court road, and who was recognised by Sergeant Mills, of the E division, as an old offender, was committed for three months with hard labour. A PERSEVERING UTTERER OF COUNTERFEIT COIN William Taylor was charged with uttering counterfeit coin to Mrs. Bradbeer, tobacconist, of 31, Greek-street, under the following circumstances :-- The prosecutrix said that on the previous evening, about nine o'clock, the prisoner came in and asked for half an ounce of tobacco, tendering her in payment a shilling. She gave him change, and put the coin in the till with one or two others. About 11 o'clock he came again and asked for half an ounce of tobacco, again tendering her a shilling. For this also she gave him change, and put'it in the till. A few minutes after he paid her another visit, this time also ten dering her a shilling, but asking for a pickwick. She served him, but did not put the coin into the till but left it on the counter, and immediately after he had left a suspicion arose in her mind that it could not be all right, and on looking at the . shilling on the counter, and also those in the till, she found them all to be counter feits. Two friends came in shortly afterwards, and while telling them the circumstances, the prisoner entered the shop a fourth time and asked for another half ounce of tobacco, this time tendering a good sixpence. Shit then said to her friends, " This is the man," when the prisoner im mediately replied, " I've.come in for tobacco and given you good money." He then tried to get away, but was pre vented, and given into custody. Police-constable Hurd said he had made inquiries at 7, Great White Lieu-street, where the prisoner said he lived, and found that he paid 4d. a night for his lodging, and had only lodged there three nights. Remanded. THAMES. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Anne Masterton, a woman about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a large quantity of wearing apparel, the property of Abraham Sugenberg, a Jew, carrying on the business of an outfitter and clothes salesman, of No. 154, St. George's-street, alias Ratcliffe -highway. It appeared that the prisoner had upon several occasions pawned new clothing at, the shop of AIL Telfer, in Rat cliffe-highway; and said they belonged to sailors who were lodging at a boarding-house in Prince's-square, St. George in-the-East. Yesterday she came again with a pair of new trousers and a necktie and asked for a loan upon them. Mr. Poole, assistant to Mr. Telfer, again questioned the prisoner, who repeated the story she had told before. Mr. Poole directed her to fetch the sailor, and she left the shop. Mr. Poole followed her, and instead of proceeding to Princes-square she entered Mr. Sugenberg's house. Mr. Poole immedi ately communicated with Mr. Sugenberg, who at once iden tified the trousers and necktie offered in pawn as his pro perty, and also owned two other pairs of trousers which the - prisoner had pawned in the course of the present month. Mr. Sugenberg had repeatedly missed property while the prisoner was in his employ, a period of three months and five days. On the prisoner's box being searched two bottles of gin were found. A police constable afterwards proceeded to the prisoner's lodgings, No. 2, Russell-court, St. George-in-the-East, where he found eleven sovereigns, 275. 6d. in silver, eight silver teaspoons, seventeen German silver spoons, and several other spoons, ten diaper towels, and other property. The prisoner, in defence, said she had been saving up the money, and purchasing the spoons and towels at intervals for the last twelve or fourtgen years. A police constable believed he would find an owner for the spoons and towels if the prisoner was remanded. Mr. Yardley—Let the prisoner be remanded until Satur (l4, next. THIS .DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of English whbat on sale here to'-day was un usually small, and the whole of it was cleared off at fully Monday's prices. The demand may be called steady. There was only a moderate inquiry for foreign wheat, the show of which was seasonably large, at previous curren cies. Floating cargoes were a dull inquiry. Both barley and malt moved off heavily at late rates. There was an improved feeling in the oat trade, and full prices were realised in every instance. Beans and peas moved off slowly at late rates. The flour trade was steady, at full quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats.

A very fair start was effected, and they were oar and oar for about 200 yards, when Blue began to draw away from their opponents, and opposite the' Feathers had nearly cleared themselves, where they continued only for a few pulls, Red again becoming nearly level, and as though they were going by them. In this position they continued rowing for a short distance, when Red took the lead, and maintained it throughout, closely pressed by Blue, who were only defeated by a couple of lengths at the finish. The race between Blue and White was very spirited to Battersea Church, where the latter gradually fell astern, and were beaten by a dozen lengths. TEMPLE UNITY ROWING CLUB.-PAIR-OARED RACE. A capital pair-oared race was rowed yesterday afternoon between six members of the above club. The distance was from Vauxhall-fridge to Battersea, the following being the result : Yellow J.

POLICE IN2' same attention, as physicists have done, to obtain true con ceptions and axioms from reality itself by proper methods, and not by arbitrary dogrnatisin—when they proceed, step by step, definition by definition, axiom by axiom, principle by principle, in du e an d proper order, and maintain a pro per unity of conception and principle, from the beginning to the end, it will be found that a vast and magnificent edi fice of demonstrative truth may be reared up, and political economy will emerge from the haze of controversy, a science as well defined, as self-coherent, as complete, and as harmonious as any in existence." Another remarkable essay is that on the word " Bank," which traces the history of banks and banking from the earliest records of their existence. Those who are acquainted with Mr. Macleod's extensive knowledge and correct views of financial I questions, and who have met his laborious and original work on the theory and practice of bank ing, will not be surprised to find that this subject is treated in a most comprehensive and vigorous manner, exhibiting great research, considerable argumentative power, and a thorough knowledge of the questions treated of.' The biographica sketches add to the value and interest of the l)ic. tionary, which, from the originality of its design : and the ability of its contents, will doubtless be. come a standard work in the - national literature.

Russell, and Lord Stanley. Military heroes also occupy the prominent position due to these days of martial valour. Portraits of Major-General Sir A. Wilson, the conqueror of Delhi ; of Major-Gene ral Sir J. Inglis, the heroic defender of Lucknow ; and Lord Clyde, the Indian Commander-in-Chief, are side by side with the cele brities of.the late war—General Sir Fenwick Williams, General Windhain, and the Due de Malakoff. Science and art have also their repre sentatives. Professor Faraday's likeness is espe cially pleasing, while those of Charles Dickens and Dr. Livingstone will be particularly interesting to the public. Charles Kean, Miss Goddard, Madame Alboni, and other theatrical celebrities, are faith fully represented. The likeness of Miss Goddard makes that lady appear somewhat too old, both ata regards her real age and her personal appearance. The Lord Chancellor, Lord Campbell, th e Attorney. General, the Earl o f Shaftesbury, Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Duncombe, and a numerous selection from eminent living personages, occupy the remaining portraits, among them being the late and the pre sent Lord Mayor. The list is as yet incomplete, many distinguished names being announced for the ensuing portraits, including the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The short and succinct biographies attached to the portraits greatly enhance their value, and the volume is altogether admirably adapted to adorn the drawing room table. The Commercial and Trades Legal Guide. By F. 11. Markham, M.A., barrister-at-law. Richard. son Cornhill. The author of this little work observes in his short and sensible preface, that it is a well-known legal maxim that " Ignorance of the law excuses no one," and . yet that most people who are not lawyers are ignorant with regard to the legal questions arising out of the simplest matters of everyday life. He supposes that this want of necessary information arises from the general idea that the laws of England are so complex and mul tifarious they could never find time to read and understand them. It therefore occurred to him that a short and simple digest of the laws principally affecting commercial men might be of practical bene fit. in this little work he gives a brief and intelligible account of a variety of legal questions ; contracts, bills of exchange, partnership, copyright, wills, executors, actions, bankruptcy, patents, and many others of equal importance being among them. The legal relations of landlord and tenant, master and servant, husband and wife, and the laws relating to the press, are also inserted. It is a very useful little compendium, and we trust will enable many of its readers to avoid the intricacies of the courts of law. The Farmers' Almanac and Calendar for 1859. Ridgway. This almanac contains a large and varied amonn, of good practical agricultural information, besides all necessary statistics of imports, exports, fairs and markets, farmers' clubs, &c. It is a very handy little work, likely to be a useful assistant to the farmer, and giving also a calendar for the flower and kitchen garden. Cassell's illustrated Almanac. This almanac maintains the character of its inde fatigable publisher. The illustrations are above the average, and the rest of the almanac fully equal to its competitors. out from both camps, which at night were strengthened by infantry. Lord Clyde, who is most watchful that the important duty of placing pickets and sentries is properly performed, rode oat and 'Visited the front of our position, as he always does when we are in front of an enemy. At Amethie he was obliged to alter the disposition of the men and of the sentries by his own word of mouth, and here too he met with an officer who professed himself ignorant of the meaning of the word " vedette." At night a messenger came in from Shunkerpore with the following letter from Bainie Madhoo:— " I have received your Excellency's purwannah, and with it tho proclamation. I beg to say that I was formerly Caboolintdar of this ellaga, and am still in possession of the same, and if the Govern ment will continue the settlement with me, I will turn out my f a th er, B a i nee M a dh oo . H e i s on th e part of Bi r ji es K uddr, but I am loyal to the British Government, and I do not wish' to be ruined for my father's sake." This was an ingenious composition, reminding one of the old times in Scotland, when each family had a representative in the ranks of the claimants to the Crown. It, was generally believed to be the composition of Bainie Madhoo in person. At the same time the latter sent a letter to the Rajah of Tiloi, who had come into our camp in answer to a recommendation that he should submit, in which he took high ground, and told the Rajah that one King was all he could serve, and that, he had given his fealty to Biijies Kuddr. We heard that a large number of Sepovs, varying, according to different ac counts, from 600 to 1,500, had gone off from the enemy; and were making their way to Manickpore, on the Ganges, between Delamow and the bridge across from Allahabad. Still there were some of our spies who insisted that Bainie Madhoo had. 40,000 men and 40 guns inside the work. Precau tions were taken to prevent the enemy breaking through our lines. The pickets were warned to be on the alert. The enemy were said to have 2,000 horse. Everything looked like fighting. Night came ; and all, except those who were in advance of the line of_ tents, retired to rest. It was bright moonlight, but the moon set early. - About two o'clock in the morning I was awakened by the noise of horses in the street of our canvass city. I turned out and found Captain Flood waiting for orders to ca rr y across country f rom the ch i ( f o the Staff to Sir Hope Grant. Intelligence had been received that the enemy after the moon disappeared issued from the forts and were evacuating the place in all haste. The country in our front was inter sected with water cuts, covered with crops, wood, andjungle. No information as to the exact route of the enemy could be had, and, in fact, it was possible the whole story might be untrue. Lord Clyde, light in hand, flitted across the street, carrying his orders with his own hand to his Aide-de-Camp, Captain Dormer. It was past 3 o'clock ere the Aide-de-Camp of the Chief of the Staff started with an escort of a few Sowars to carry orders to Sir Hope Grant to proceed at once in pursuit of the enemy. It was pitch dark, and the direction was only to be had from the stars. So difficult was the ground that one of the horses of the escort broke its neck. So it was that it was past 4 o'clock ere the column of Sir Hope Grant was reached, and the order given to that gallant and indefatigable officer. All the troops were turned out, and the column was in readiness to march by daybreak, directing its advance upon Roy Bareilly. During the night the pickets had heard men mov ing, the groaning of camels and the noise of voices close to the fort ; but they had no orders to act, and indeed it is difficult to say what they could have done if they had. At daybreak it wassevident that Bainie Madhoo had fled, and that his boasted stronghold had been deserted without a shot. The tracks of. wheels along the outside of the work showed that he had succeeded in carrying off some at least of his guns, and that he had taken a long sweep to the west of Sir Hope Grant's extreme right picket, and then marched off towards Roy Bareilly. An advanee was ordered on the forts. 'The Belooches entered, and found it quite empty, the bastions unarmed, the jungles desolate. They were at once relieved by a wing of her Majesty's sth Fusiliers, under Lieut.-Col. Milman. Col. Harness and the engineer and artillery officers rode across to the place, and Lord Clyde, after a hasty visit, rode off to overtake Sir Hope Grant's column, in order that he might give him directions as to the pursuit. Some of the rebels, we heard, had gone southwards through the jungles towards the Ganges, but the main body, under Bainie, had obviously fled towards the Goomtee, northwards. Early in the morning, about half an hour after daybreak, I approached the outer works of the fort, which consisted of a very deep, but narrow ditch, and a low parapet of irregular trace, inside which nothing could be seen but dense jungle. There was no entrance visible till we had ridden southwards about two 'piles. The country was like that already described. Several hamlets and villages quite deserted lay outside the the ditch; only cats and dogs inhabited the streets. In one there was a small and very handssme Hindoo temple, covered outside with hideous idols. All these villages offered the greatest facilities for resistance in the hands of a determined enemy, and could only have been cleared in such a case by very hard fighting or severe vertical fire. Through one of those villages lay the road to the outer fort. A bastion of earth towered above it, but the flanking fire was indif ferently directed. The gateway was of bamboo, and opened upon a ramp across the ditch to a strong mud wall, winding over a tortuous street. access through which into the interior was obtained by a wooden gate, of no strength. Inside, the place was something like Amethee, only that the central residence was not so fine. An old Brahmin very sick was the sole human being to be found, but a " must" elephant—a male suffering from a temporary derangement, owing to a disappointment in some love affair—was tied by chains in the court yard, gun .bullocks wandered about, ai s l t dd es ooliestents, a spring van, litters, and Na lum bered the enclosures, which were full also of bed steads and a few articles of furniture. Only a few old matchlocks could be found after the minutest search, and, as if in mockery, four very small brass guns, mere children's playthings, were laid out in a row in front of one of the verandahs. In the women's apartments some miserable daubs left upon the walls showed that those who lived there must have been vile and depraved indeed. Idols abounded in the rooms ; some had engravings an Oriental dream of the Duke of Wellington, and embossed drawings of wild beasts hung 1.113 in the divan, in which were also glass chan deliers, covered with linen bags, as if " the season was over." In the rooms around the courts im mense quantities of ghee, nuts, wheat, and corn were found; also a laboratory for making powder, and about 9,0001 b. of that article of native manu facture. I am beginning to believe that most of the good guns of the forts in Oude were sent into Lucknow, or were captured by Havelock and others in the earlier fights. It is certain Bainie Madhoo has got only nine with him, and they are all probably less than six-pounders. We have heard of one large gun which has not yet been dis covered, and the carriages of two, in tolerable condition, were found this afternoon. There are three other forts much more complete inside the work which must described hereafter. All are to be destroyed, with the exception of one which is to be turned into a native police thannah. Towards midday Lord Clyde returned after a hot ride of 10 miles, in addition to his early march from Sir Hope Grant, whose column rea c h e d R e y B are ill y in the afternoon. Bainie Madhoo had a long start of him, and it seems now established that we never can overtake natives fairly on the run. A part of the Jugdespore force marched 200 miles in five days, and yet did little good. General Mi c h e ll' s i n f antry marched 32 miles in one day 'after Tantia Topee, and failed to overtake him. I fear that General Grant and Brigadier Eveleigh will not be more successful. According to the latest accounts, Bainie M a dh oo cross he Gogra at would,Byram lvas at in Po a o ll ry li e k , elaihnododi,fthe Goomtee ghaut and join the insurgents in Burnechl Taylor, her Majesty's 79th .

Thus I have given you, without comment, a dry narrative of the actual events which have occurred here since the despatch of my last letter reserving some matter for my next letter which will probably be more interesting. As the talookdars were s l o w in coming in, the Com missioner issued a circular to them, in which he stated that if they did not make submission within a s hort period, stated, he would send for the Rajah of Rupporthullah and his Sikhs, and - would make over their estates to his use. This little stroke of diplomacy has been attended with the best results, but as yet the sepoys hold aloof. Tl.ey do not believe the proclamation or the amnesty. The talookdars are, however, coming in. Some of Banie Madhoo's estates have been already awarded to men who have saved Government. _Thannahs and. eollectoratei have been established all along our . line of march, ,and zemindars have been placed there, with their matchlockmen, till we can srare police to take their place. As soon as that is the case the . zemindary levies will be deprived of their matchlocks and the country will be disarmed. OPERATIONS IN OUDE. EVACUATION OF SHUNKERPORE. (From the Times' Special Correspondent.) Camp, near Shunkerpore, Nov. 17 On the morning of the 14th of November Lord Clyde marched from his camp at Kishwapore, beyond Amethie, towards Shunkerpore, the strong hold of Bainic Madhoo—the correct orthography, at last, of this chieftain's name. Of the position and strength of the enemy we had heard the most formidable accounts. There was, however, no cer tain, nor, as it appeared, trustworthy information regarding the forts they occupied or their ntbans of resistance. It was a matter of speculation whether Bainie Madhoo would fight or submit; but his character gave the combatants reason to believe that he would stand his ground. On the evening of the 13th Major Barrow, the political agent at head-quarters, or, more properly speaking, the Financial Commissioner, sent the following letter from our camp at Oodepore to the rebel chie : " Thc Commander-in-Chief having received the fullest powers from the Governor-General to deal with all insurgents, either by force of arms or treaty, as may seem to his E3ccellency to be right according to the offences and claims to considera• tion of each individual, sends the proclamation of the Queen ofGreat Britain to Ranah Bainie Madhoo. The Ranah is informed that under the terms of that proclamation his life is secured on due sub mission being made. The Governor-General is not disposed to deal harshly ; but Bainie Madhoo must recollect that he has long , been a rebel in arms, and but very recently attacked her Majesty's troops. He must, therefore, make the fullest submissive surrender of his forts and cannon, and come out at the head of his Sepoys and armed followers, and with them lay down his arms in the presence of her Majesty's troops. The Sepoys and armed fol lower; will then be allowed to go to their homes without molestation, each of the former receiving a certificate from the Commissioner. When com plete surrendered submission has been made Bainie Madhoo will nbt have cause to distrust the gene rosity and clemency of the Governor-General, and even his claims on account of estates lie may con sider himself wrongfully deprived of may be heard ; but in the meantime, before submission is made, and the arms of the Ranah, his Sepoys, and fol lowers publicly laid down, no treating is allowed by the Governor-General. The Commander-in- Chief warns Bainie Madhoo to lose no time. His columns are closing round the Ranah, and any de lay on Bainie Madhoo's part will deprive him of the benefit of the Queen's mercy, and render it impossible for the Governor-General to exercise generosity in his behalf. The fate of himself, of his family, and of his followers is in his own hands." Early on the 15th our troops marched to their present camp at Kaishwapore or Kishwapore, about three miles from the outer ditch of the jungle of Shunkerpore. The Commander-in-Chief, however, was precluded from an immediate advance on the place because he had not received any reply to his letter. There was a probability that it had not been received, and the instructions of his Excel lency were most positive that no attack sh ou ld b e made on any of the forts till it had been ascertained that the chief who owned it had received a copy of the Queen's Proclamation. The place was recon noitred, and found to be less formidable than report had made it, so far as could be jud ge d f rom the position of the works discernible through the woo and jungle. Our camp was pitched at a line nearly parallel to the east side of the jungle, at a distance of 21- or 21 miles from the outer ditch. Sir Hop:. Grant's column, encamped three or four miles dis tant, lay at an angle to our right flank, so as to in vest the north 4 astern face. Th e sou th was covered by a jungle, and on th e west it was hope d that Brigadier Evelegh's force moving from Siinrec would have arrived within such a distance of the works as would have enabled them to co-operate with us ; but, as commun i cat i ons were ver y diffi cult, and no report had been received from that officer, the Com man d er -i n -Chi e f wa s ignorant of his position. It was long after midday ere - out tents were all pit c h e d ; our baggage continued to block up the roa d long after nightfall. Strong pickets of cavalry and guns were thrown
