THE LEAGUER OF LUCKNOW-HAVE LOCK'S LAST MARCE. then getting into order again, the other regiments came up and passed us, and thus we lost our original position in the field. A little higher up the road another road crossed us diagonally : we turned down to the right, and were opposed bye tremendous fire of musketry from its further end, where the enemy was swarming. The Major gave the order : " Fire two volleys by sections ' into the middle of them ;" but before we had time to see 1 the effect produced, we were ordered to retreat into a garden on our 1, ft (this place was called the Char Bagh —four gardens). I rode ups—l was then a little behind the Major—and repeated the order to him, And just turned my horse's head towards the garden; when a round shot came and knocked the poor brute over and killed e hree men close by me. I had not time to remove anything off his back, the enemy was too Close and the fire too heavy, and though several men came up and volunteered to fetch me my saddle, I could not allo Pi them to risk their lives. As we entered the garden t he enemy's artillery opened upon 114 from the left extremity of this cross-road with grape and 4Lell, and 50 well did they pitch their shells that, they burst immediately over the gate we entered by killing- and wounding many. We marched through the garden, clearing it as we went along, and then skirmished along that side commanding the 'anal and a view of its opposite side. It eis dan gerous to show your head over the wall, and our riflemen had to take advsntage of any little piece of cover, to enable them to take steady 'aim. We worked on our way gradually, a- d came out a little on this, i. e., the Alumbagh, side of the canal bridge, and had the satis faction of seeing some heavy guns of the enemy cap tured. They had built up very sarong batteries protect ing the bridge, and of .so ch. solieity were their breast works that our artillery could have Taile but 'little im presion on them, our only resource was to charge them at the point of the bayonet. This was gallantly done by the Madras Fueiliere.. Tne .90zh—a reginient in: the second brigade—charged and captured the gun at the left ex•receity of the cross-roads which sheltered us. We halted to take breath and get into order again at the bridge, for about a quarter of an hour, when we again advanced, turning to the right, and kept along.., the banks of the canal. We worked our way along slowly, clearing the neighbouring villages as well as our time would admit ; this we did but imperfectly, °win), to our want of troops and time The baits toe were frequent to enable us to keep together. lti one small village we passed through we found anine-pounder brass gun, limber and ammunition complete, the horses standing by ready harnessed, which the enemy had left behind, being, I suppose, too hard pres'ed by us to take off. While we stopped here I amused myself by catch ing pigeons. After some time we emerged into the open, and of a sudden the order was given, to the sth "to charge the gun." It was up the road I knew, but where abouts exactly I did not see. However, away we went, done up as we were by several hours' hard *rock in the grilling sun—our pace, as you may imagine, not very rapid—until we sighted the gun (a long brass native made ore), mounted on a carriage, and deserted. At the corner of the road was a group of cavalry, supposed to be protecting their gun, looking in astonishment at ear boldness; but they hardly waited for a vceley when they bolted, and we saw nothing more of them. A scat tered fire was still kept up at us by the enemy, who were occupying the street on our left, and if I recollect right, a gun also opened upon us. Here we halted and got under shelter, till the oth e r regiments came up, when the houses right and left of the street were broken into and many men shot and bayonetted. We captured the regimental colours—very pretty ones and well embroi i dared—of the 6th Oude Irregular Infantry. The rebels I,ad on most occasions fought against us under our own colours, which they plundered at the time of the mutiny. I was sorry to see my friend W— limping about here, and found he had been wounded in two places. We found a good deal of sugar cane, which we peeled and ate, and most refreshing it was to us. The last charge, we all felt at every step we took as if we could not take another to save our lives, but we went tumbling on with our mouths open, as dry as bones. Teis, you /titbit remember, was a cloudless day in September, the hottest and certainly most depressing mouth in the year, and just at the breaking up of the rains; and after the . last two or three days' incessant rain the exhalation from• the ground was very heavy, and rendered itdoubly oppres- . sive. was no longer safe to expose ourselves at the windows, arid those parts of the wall which the round shot pene ttftted as it would brown paper. In the middlelof the day our wounded were sent into the entrenchments ; ' bin, owing to some unhappy mistake, the guide mistook the road, and a great many of them got into the enemy's quarters, and were attacked. Oar escort was insuffi cient, and only a few of the wounded who were able to xalk were saved ; the remainder were barbaron , ly murdered, and burnt in their dhooliee. To this day our half-burnt dhoolies are lying in that same place where the cowardly attack and slaughter was made—proofs of the unprincipled cruelty of our savage enemy. We have not been abh to drive them from that place yet, and their riflensen hold the surrounding loopholed wails. Tue iacessant firing went on till dark, when it relaxed a little.- Toe men and ourselves had had to eat all day ; this was, j our second day's hard work and starvation.

I am afraid, before you can possibly receive this letter, you will have suffered much painful anxiety on my behalf, the more so as, in addition to my not having been able to write by the last three mails, tl , e news which you must have received from India can have been but gloomy and sad. lam writing now, not because.l see any chance for some time to comelof despatching my letter, but so that I may be in readiness in case of unforeseen opportu nity occur-ring:. This is the first day since our arrival here that ,I have had pen, ink, and paper at my disposal, or I should have begun long ago to give you an account of our doings since I last wrote you from Cawnpore, previous to our crossing the river, en routs to the relief of our besieged friends in Lucknow. You will have received official intel ligence that our object was effected, how it was effected, and at what a tremendous loss to our brave fellows.

At present I will only give you an outline i oCitus . doings since . we left Cawnpore on We 19th September. On Saturday, the 19th, we left Cawnpore, with the idea that •no time was to be lost in reaching Lucknow, lest we should be too late . to relieve our unfortunate countrymen.

The' passage with 'Elie . artillery and cavalry took some hours, and the sun was well up and hot before we had formed up on the other side. The enemy were firing at us with their guns the whole time, but with little .damage, and did not succeed for a moment in hindering our cross ing. The sth Fusiliers, Madrag Fusiliers, and 84th Foot, with Major Eyre's battery, formed the Ist brigade, commanded by Brigadier-Gene ral Neill. When the whole force, numbering 2,500, had crossed and taken up their position, a few companies were sent out from the differ ent regiments to skirmish over a large tract of hilly ground, where the enemy was ; the re mainder of the sth was drawn up in line, in re serve. The enemy was playing upon us with a heavy gun from a battery exac.ly opposite us, not more than 600 or 700 yards distant, I should say. I was on horseback, with Major Simtnong, standing to the right of the line, when the. first round shot came over our heads with a tremendous hiss. They were allowed to fire four rounds at us, when they were getting so uncom fortably close that w. ordered our men to lie down, drew up our guns, and silenced their battery ; un luckily, before we could get up to take their gun, they bad harnessed the horses and absconded with it. We advanced after a time in support of the skirmishers, who were driving the enemy from their sandhills. After a couple of hours' fighting the halt was soundel, and we lay in a burning sand on a plain without any shelter for some time before the few tents for the men came up. I left Oawnpore feeling very unwell, having had an at tia.uk of fever while there, owing, I think, to expo sure to the sun on the march froth Allahabail, virhile protecting, or rather looking after the bag: gage, and I felt so weak that I was doubtful at one time whether I should be able to go on ; how ever, it was better I did go, as it turned out, for the excitement did me great good, and, ex cept for my weakness, I felt quite convalescent and jolly.

Our old friend the great Indian traveller, Major Edie, writes as follows : " London, 20th March, 1852.- Dear Sir, —Having suffered fearfully for two years from an enlargement of the liver and an inveterate diarrhoea, brought on in India and China, and having tried the advice of the most eminent professional men in China, India, and at home, without any other result than gradual decay, I was on the brink of the grave—unable to lift my arms from perfect exhaustion, when Capt. Wraughton, of no Hon. E. I. C. Service, recommended me to try Du Barry's excellent Revalenta Arabica Food, and to discard the drugs I was then taking. The result of eating this delicious Food is the perfect restoration of my health within a month ; and I take a peculiar pleasure in recommending all sufferers to follow my example.

IMPORTANT CAUTION against the fearful dangers of spurious imitations :—The Vice-Chancel lor , Sir William Page W oo d , granted an Injunction on the 10th March, 1854, against Alfred Hooper Nevin, for imitating 4 ' Du Barry's Rovalent4 Arabia Food. The next day, Sunday, the 20th, was a halt. Our volunteer cavalry went out reconnoitring, and came across the enemy's camp, and got fired upoe. None of us were allowed to take touts with us (a few were provided for the men, and only one for all the officers of each regiment). On Sunday night th. .anie doses, zir. 4 eticlrbe, and the ground that I awoke in a regular puddle, and slop* in one, well too, till the morning. At seven o'clock, Monday morning, the 21st, we commenced our march on the Luoknow road. We could not have gone a mile when the enemy opened a heavy artillery fire upon us. The guns—Eyre's battery—which we were protecting were immedi ately or dered to the front, and two companies of the stb, thrown out in skirmishing order, protected the guns right and left of the road on an open plain. The rain was pouring down continuously, and our men were lying down in a regular swamp. Simmons, the major, Haig, the adjutant, and my self, were all together, on the left, and the only mounted officers. The major sent roe several times across the road with orders to the officer command ing the right party. This was not a very safe duty, as I had to pass our artillery, and the guns of the enemy werejprincipally directed against our., but I was mercifully preserved from all danger. The major always employed me as a kind of aide-de camp. Not having a company to command, and being mounted, it was the best way of making me of any service. While the battle was going on between the guns on the right, the other regiments and guns were busily employed on the left. The enemy had guns posted in villages on the left, and opened an enfilading fire upon our troops as they advanced in line and column. The slope of heavy ground on which the enemy had taken up position it was our business to dispossess them of, so skirmishers were thrown out, and a good brisk fire ensued. In the meantime our skirmishers, by ad vancing up the gentle slope, outflanked the batteries which were firing upon our right down the road. This manceuvie—more, I think, than our firing—caused them to horse their guns and take them away. Our practice, however good it might have been with round shot, could not have done much harm to the enemy, from the nature of the defences they had raised in front of their batteries. With shelling it was different, but we could not guess even at their loss, they take great pains to remove their dead and wounded. Some few headless trunks and others terribly shattered by round shot we passed on the road ; these were probably left behind in the hurry of retreat. We were rather amused at one time during the fight by a little coincidence which occurred on cur right. A large body of the enemy's cavalry were threatening us, and looked as if they intended to descend on our guns and a small handful of irregular cavalry substituted by them. Eyre turned one of his 8-inch howitzers, and sent a couple of shells right into the middle of them, and took them quite by surprise, for immediately upon the shell burst ing they commenced a most precipitate retreat, amidst roars of laughter from our men. When the enemy's fire ceased we advanced up the road, and found their batteries empty ; they had built a strong breast-work across the road, which took us some time to lever, to enable our guns to pass. They were flanked on their right by a small clump of houses, but on the left by a lon g , l ow , l oo ph o l e d mu d w all. Their position was capitally chosen, and fairly con tested, but they cannot wait for the British bayonet, and as they see our line steadily a d vanc i ng , th ey as steadily and surely retreat. We went on that day marching till dark, the rain continuing to pour down in torrents, and got shelter in a very dirty gunj, two long rows of low buildings—a kind of market-place, in fact—which had been vacated by the natives. Our cavalry pursued the enemy almost up to this place, and cut up a good many. This battle was fought at a place called Manglwarra, a small insignificant place, about two miles from the bridge. On the road, further on, we found a few cartloads of the enemy's grain, a few tents and ca mels. We took some of their guns, but not all ; their horse batteries they managed to take away with them. The first thing after seeing all the men and ourselves housed was to inquire for our kitmat gars, with a view to get some dinner ; but what was our dismay to hear them say that all our provisions were behind in the mess-cart, and that orders had ben given to admit no carts within the gunj. We immediately sent out foragers, but with no suc cess, and we had the pleasant prospect of going without anything to eat, having only taken a light breakfast before we started, and feeling ravenous. Had it not been for Captain L—'s coined beef I don't know what we should have done. On Tuesday, the 22d, we commenced our march in a pouring rain, with our wet clothes on. All my coolies, carrying our luggage, had run away during the night, and I could not by any means pet any more. The general told us before leaving Cawn pore to bring ss little as we could, as we should be back again in fifteen days. We marched the whole of that day in an incessant and drenching rain, saw nothing of the enemy, and merely took a few pri soners. We passed a very strongly fortified posi tion on the road, whore we expected to meet with opposition from the enemy, but they , had deserted it, taking their guns with them. . We put .up in another vill age th at even i ng, even di r tier than the former ; the roads 'ere ankle deep in mud and filth, which we hat to wade through before we could get to the mid huts where we slept. That evening I dined off,: wing of a chicken, and most thoroughly I erijoyet it after our hard day's work. We fired a salute from that place, to warn our People at Lucknow of our approach. We could distinctly hear the filing at Lucknow, and felt more than ever anxious Ice the safety of the garrison. On Wednesday, tie 23d, we again set off at the usual time (seven o'clock), under a cloudy sky ; the sun shone at intervals during the day, and dried our clothes somewhat and cheered our spirits. We went on and on with little or nothii.g further than an occasional search 3f some s uspicious-looking vil lage till about two o'clock, when' eurrecomoitring party came ba c k w i t h th e news that the enemy was in position some short distance in advance. The halt" was sounded, and lasted till all the force and baggage were well together, when we again ad vanced. We had not gone far before we saw the enemy in position, their cavalry formed up in two long lines on their right ; then came masses of in fintry, and skirmishers they had thrown out to their front ; more Cavalry on the left and guns every- Where. We halted again, and the guns were sent to take up their ground on the open plain, and theregi ments ordered off the road to oppose the enemy's infantry and protect our artillery. We were march: ing first in the cohimn of sections preparatory to leaving the road. fee the plain, when a round shot came racoehet4g4en g the ditch on the left of the road ; then came A secolid, whizzing close over our heads, which killed a captain in the 90th, and wounded others close behind us ; then another and another,. in quick succession. We soon left the road, and deployed into line on the plain, and ad vanced in skirmishing order over a swampy ground, where the men sank deep at every step. We halted for a short time, and the m en were or d ere d to lie down. Poor Haig was just in the act of ding so when a round shot passed through his body. I was close by at the time, heard the horrid crash, and saw him knocked down. Ht s wa the first man I had seen killed, and knowing him as I did, and haling spoken to him recently, it grea , tly.shocked me. It is extra ordinary though how familiar one gets with scenes like these in time of war. The other regiments were hard at work on our left, opposed to the enemy's right, taking guns and villages. A company of the sth was ordered to take an enclosure on the right of the road, which the enemy had possession of, and where at the commencement of the engagement they had guns in position, which they withdrew on our advance. In this inclosure was a Rajah's pa lace, where they slept that night. After skirmishing for a short distance, the men were again Allowed to lie down, as affording a less prominent mark for the enemy's guns. A shell burst close in front of us, killing three and wounding four. I was, as usual, on the right of our line, wit h the Major, and the dirt was sent spattering about us when it burst. This kind of fighting went on for some hours, until the enemy was driven back from Alumbagh. The in fantry was drawn up—at least our brigade- 7 -iu con tiguous columns, and our artillery and cavalry passed by in front of us, receiving cheers from us all for the gallant way is which they had done their duty in the fight. The cavalry only consisted of some 120 volunteer English and a similar number of Affghan Cavalry. We felt sadly the want of cavalry in all our:engagements to follow up the enemy with. The most unpleasant part of our day's business was yet in store for us. The enemy, though driven back, still kept up a harassing and heavy fire upon us with their artillery and musketry, and some guns were sent down the road.to. try and Bi k inis them and we were ord e r e d to protect them: On the right of the road was a low tuarshi ground, covered with high grass and jungle, with two or the small villages beyond it, occupied by the enemy. From this they opened a heavy fire upon us with musketry and artillery, arid annoyed us not a little. Our guns, I suppose from not seeing them clearly, seemed ts do but little execution. It was getting dark, and we could see nothing but the white smoke from their guns and musketry—they had opened another gun upon us, enfilading the road, and their round shot and shell came ploughingup the ground en all sides, tearing through the trees, and their shells bursting close to us, but providentially doing but little damage. At last it was getting so very hot that Major Simmons seat sue back to ask General Neill for orders, and to explain to him our position. The answer was that we should receise orders almost immediately tQ lea', the piacie,ltibd . taker-tip lodging for the night ; so the Major moved-his men in the meantime off the road on to a field onthe left, protected from the enemy's gun on the road by a walled enclosure, and Irons their musketry on the right by a bank. The enemy seem to have noticed this move, for they sent frequent shells near us, one burst a f ew yards behind me, a f ter h av i ng embedded itself d eep in a heap of mire and clay. How ever, at last th e order came , and we retired into the palace garden, an d provided ourselves and men of the sth with a h an d some lodging in the palace, formerly occupied by so me hi gh native civilian of the Ki ng o f Oude, It must have been handsomely furnished at one time, for w e f ound large mirrors, chandeliers, and pictures ; th e e th er things had been either carried away or destroy e d. U nfortunately, just before the order was given to reti re a tremendous rain came sent us to bed for the third night drenched to the skis —I and many others, whose b agga ge was behind or down, which straying, not being able to get a change of clothes. It was melancholy that night, as A. C. and I were sitting down to dinner, to think of the sudden death of our former messmate, Haig. The poor fellow seemed to sister. ena prTehseentniensxe:sthootf,hils think, wasfor just before he went into ' battle he asked a brother o ffi cer by his side to finish a letter, which he had - commenced, to his the one which killed him. Thursday, the 24th, we halted ; the en emy shelled us, and sent round shot amongst us, and occasioned a heavy loss. We answered them with our artillery, but they were so w e ll sheltered that 1 doubt whether we did much harm, W e could see their infantry and cavalry hovering about, b ut they took care to keep out of mus ket-shot, except on one occasion, when their cavalry attacked our r ear-guard and baggage, which was some way down th e b ill , and cut up some 120 of our men. It was do ne i n a most infamous, treacherous manner. An officer i n the 10th was with his men on rear guard duty, protecting ths baggage, when he saw some cavalry advancing up the road. s u pposing them to be our own Irregul ars , ai ,d see i n g the No. 12 on their when o f a suddeo some other p o uches, he :Hewed them to come close up instead of fi r i ng upon them. The commandant of the cavalry ad vanced up the road, d converged a little with the officer, vhen men the i r ears a shea b upon, and yr thee fi red cut up several ard se a camp followers. He, seeing the treachery, and d rew h i s revo l ver , but all the barrels missed fire, Sr he then d r ew his sword, but it was too lat e , the an of cowardly traitors attacked and soon killed hi m however b e f ore they could decamp several of th em were shot down by our men, when they saw the t rue State of things, and better precau tions were taken against the recurrence of such a catastrophe. In th e evening a party was sent out reconnoitring, and t o see whether the canal, which we bad to cross the next day, was fordable. They effected their obj ect, b ut were immediately o bli ge d to retreat, owing t o the very heavy fire they were ex posed to from the enemy. One of our men got his leg carried away by a round shot ; that was the only casualty. We we re watching them from the house in the garden all the time , and it was a marvel to us that no more sr, t:)t wound e d or kill e d. We buried Haig in the loom the g ing in g arden, and the Major read the buri a l serviceover him. We were roused and called to arms late in the evening, with the impression that we were go i ng i s b e attacked a few shots were fired, but nothing more ; and after an hour or two watching we were Orders were given for two day s ' rat i ons t o be allowed to return to quarters, and prepared for sleep. issued to the troops before starti ng for Lucknow. No officer was allowed to take any servant, and therefore no baggage, with him—except mounted officers, who were permitted to take their eyes, or grass-cut. On the 25th (Friday), after having had our breakfasts and completed our preparations, we took up tive positions o ur p r were to advance upon Lucknow. eesopeeecd we halted to protect the guns, which had commenced morning, and advanced up the road some distance,'where We started then from Alumbagh 417w0 companies of the sth , about eight in the firi ng were in in front reply of the t t h h e e g e u n n e s m o y n ' * th e road, and two behind. The men were all ordered to lie down. Major Simmons and I were at the head of the first two companies, mounted, but the fire was Co hot, both artillery and over err heads, smashing musketry, from the right and in f ront, that Simmons ' s horse reared and plunged in such a manner as to oblige him to dismount. Our position th en was frightful ; the enemy were enfilading the road with grape, canister, and the ground, tear waggons, kn oc ki ng down poor fellows right and left, whi t e the men were fr equent l y woun d e d throughri tear ing ncl downsh artilleryo shot, which n h e i%h g came of trees ploughing by the unseen enemy's sharpshooters on our right, who were firing at them from behind the long grass, besides another gun, which they had in position, in a small vil lage on our right. This went on for some time, when General Outran', who was close by, gave th e o r d e r, " sth, charge the guns . Simmons immediately ordered the men to rise and advance up the road. About 100 yards further on was a loopholed house inside a walled garden, the wall also loopholed, from which they had ' kept up a sharp fire of musketry the last day, and this morning. o When d passing this, voll ey a f ter volley was poured out , and beforebefore we effected our entrance, the other defence. It was a marvel to me how I es c aped, as enemy had deserted it, and moved on to meet us at some I was on horseback. Unfortunately for the sth, while they were engaged in searching and clearing the house and grounds, and On we went again, and our next halt was in fell sight of the splendid palace of Lucknow, the mosques, and other fine buildings. On the road we pissed the cavalry stables, where hundreds of horses wef e picketed. I got permission to provide myself with one to replace my own killed : so, with Creagh, of the sth, I l e ft th e c o lumn f o r a time, and went and selected one. It was a fine strong artillery horse, but unfortunately without a bridle, so of no present use to me. We saw some dismantled heavy guns lying about there, and a company of ours sent there to survey and clear the place of the enemy, if there hap pened to be any, reported that there was a quantity elf treasure lying in different places ; but such was our headlong speed that guns, horses, and treasure were all left behind, for the subsequent use of the enemy. This heltieg-place wri l a very dangerous one, the shelter very insufficient ; and we remained exposed to heavy artillery and musketry Sre. The round shot came in numbers, smashing through the walls close by us, and the frequent creek of the musket from loop-holed walls and windows of houses close by, and the whirr of the bullet, told us too plainly that our position was not very tenable. To our right there was a large house supposed to be occupied by the enemy. We were ordered to take it and held it. To get to it, it was necessary to cross a small open space. This we did one by one at the double, every man as he doubled feeling the danger to which he was exposed. The bullets from a house opposite—the old mess-house of her Majesty's 32d—whizzed over and about us by hundreds, and it regularly running tits gauntlet through a hailstorm of bullets. Several men and horses were killed and wounded here, but there was no hesitation on our side, and the brave fellows filled through this as willingly as if they had been in their then hungry state going to a sumptuous banqaet. We took the house of course as ordered, and immediately sent out skirmishing parties right, left, and front, to keep off the enemy. The house was situate in the middle of a garden, and at the end of which on one side was a canal over which the enemy was firing. About three o'clock, I suppose it must have been (my watch's mainspring was broken, worn out, and so rendered useless), we left this place, and after charging another gun under an immensely heavy cross-fire across a small bridge, where again we sustained a heavy loss, we found ourselves between rows of houses with loopholed walls, being quietly picked off by unseen hands. Here several gallant fellows were killed and wounded, and it was melancholy work seeing the place strewn with the dead and dying, with no visible enemy to make answerable for our loss. This street and house fighting went on till dusk, and it would be tedious to narrate all that occurred. At one place, in particular, just as we turned a corner into an open square, surrounded by high walls, where the artillery were drawn up, and the 84th was in the act of passing through an archway in column (we wore close behind them), a murderous ire was opened from these loop holed houses en our men, and poor Brigadier-General Neill was shot dead eff his horse. The men seemed seined with a fit of fury for the time ; they left 'their., ranks and fired a volley against those walls witla'..kie forlorn hope that some stray bullet might enter the loopholes and kill the cowards sheltered behind. When order was restored, we commenced passing through. It was a horrid business, and it was getting dark, which made it worse. You could see the flashes from the loop-holes just over your heads as you inoved on an d felt powerless, for we were unable to stop their 'firing or drive them from their stronghold. It was Irilte dark before our work was over, and we slept thlit 'night without food or drink (except the rations of grog and rum), or covering of any kind in the road leading into the garrison. We gave and received three cheers from the people inside, and that was the only proof that night we had of each other's existence. It was a terrible day altogether, and one I shall not easily forget., We slept wall after our fatigues. We lost that day 600 odd men killed and wounded, and 48 officers—no small proportion out of a force of 2,401, a loss in proportion equal to that sustained in the Battle of Waterloo. An unfortunate accident occurred in the road that evening. Some faithful sepoys of the 13th, who had been fighting in the trenches nearly all the siege with oar people, were sent out with a European officer to assist in some work further down the road. Some two or three of them, in threading their way through the laby rinth of gun-carriages, bullocks, and men, got separated from their officer, and the alarm was instantly raised that some of the enemy's Sepoys were in our line, and the order was given by the brigadier to stop them; how ever, they unsuspectingly went on, when the order to shoot or bayonet them was passed. Thretiof these poor fellows were instantly shot and bayoneted—one man I saw with no less than three bayonet wounds and one sword cut on the upper part of his body. The officer, hearing some confusion, instantly returned, and saw the unhappy mistake. It was a sickening sight. I saw the man who was the worst wounded some days afterwards in the hospital, and was glad to find he was doing well, and in a fair way to recovery. It was imprudent in the excited state of our troops, and at night, too, tosend the Sepoys into our neighbourhood, when it was well known that we were surrounded on all sides by the enemy, who at that time were firing upon our ostpickets and sentries. All that night there was only a wall be tween us and the rebels, and we did not feel safe a g ainst a sudden attack. On Saturday morning, the 26th, we were ordered out again, and had to retrace our steps to the house I told you we took yesterday afternoon, near which our artil lery and baggage, with some of the 90th, bad been left. There were some places we had to pass muc h ex p osed to the enemy's fire, and which it was necessary to double over, to get as quickly as possible through the shower of bullets. We had to ford a canal up to our micidle in the water, and afforded a nice mark to t he enemy's riflemen during this tedious operation. Several men were wounded before we reached the house, 'when we sent out some men to reinforce the 90th, and held the house the whole of the day. The enemy had brought two heavy guns to bear upon the house from opposite directions, and as we were sitting inside, 24 and 18 lb. shot Caine smashing through the walls, knocking over men and making our position anything but enviable. Bullets, too, came w his. zing about from all sides, and we h a d plenty to do from the house to keep down the enemy's fire th i from neigh bouring mosques and h ouses. near the palace, not m ore th an 700 or 800 y e ar r d g s li o n ; , w e e saw the men spongi ng i t and loading, so kne w wh en it On Monday, the 28th, a party went out to attack some of the enemy's guns, which were annoying the garrison, but owing to mismanagement they, after hav ing spiked one or two, were obliged to retreat from the enemy, who swarmed out of their houses and from be hind their walls' and retook them. They were mostly our own guns. We lost some 12 men killed and wounded. I was at the top of a house watching them, with some others, keeping up a fire at the sep )ye during the attack. They brought a gun or two to bear upon u. 4, but did Lo further harm than knocking afew bricks and some mortar about us. In the evening I went up to the camp to re_ lieve Mason from picket duty, and to guard some guns. Officers of the sth were so scarce that Simmons asked me to share the duty. That night and the nex: I had to sleep on the road near the guns, and very bard I found the ground, particularly as I had no bed to lie upon. The next morning a large party, consisting of same men of the 84th, 64th, and sth, went out before light to take some more guns, and succeeded in blowing up some and one 32-pouuder. I was standing by my guns, and saw Major Simmons brought in dead. He had been shot through the head and killed on the spot. I attended his funeral that evening. A few days before only I heard him read the burial service over poor Haig, and the next time I beard it read was over himself. That i a i d n a r y ie l ne b , re n a nd kfa g s e t v e e d m w y ith re F t r io e n d. who were delighted with it, I fancy. On Wednesday, the Mb, 1 was relieved from picket t ß o ire th h e men and and returned to head-quarters of the regiment. I break dined o f my with ck p Mac farlane, picket, fasted again at Birch's and took a sleep at Macfarlane's, on his mattress. How I enjoyed it—the only comfort- able sleep I had had for days. At night there was great firing on all sides, and all the men were called to arms, but it ended in nothing. On Thursday, Oct. 1, a party of the ith, with some 400 men from some other regiments, went out in the direction of the Cawnpore-road, to blow up some houses frequented by the 7ackii. They killed a lot of sepoye in one place and another ; Scott, the then commanding officer, and myself, and his staff, remaining behind at headquarters. A reward of 10,000 rupees was offered to this party if they succeeded in taking the enemy's guns in a certain battery. All the batteries are narntd. We have the Cawnpore, Redan, Malakoff, and others. The next day the guns were taken and blown up with several houses. It is no good spiking guns and leaving them behind, for the enemy soon return and either wor k out the spike or turn the gun Jver, and make a vent on the other side. The only effectual plan is to blow them up, and thoroughly destroy them. It seems a pity to destroy our good guns, but it was unavoidable. Nothing particular further than occa-iional alarms oc curred till Monday the sth, when the enemy sprang a mine in one of our picket gardens, and charged the breach made in the wall, but our men soon drove them back, without even using the bayonet. A few shots seemed to have the desired effect, and when a few of them fell the remainder thought it more prudent to re. treat. Another officer, Johnson, of the sth, died this day from his wounds. On Tuesday, the 6th, there was another mine sprung by the enemy at a mosque near our quart er , an d a simultaneous and persevering attack upon us made from ma ny quarters.

After some time the enemy managed to get into the rooms above us, and before our men in another part of th e gar d en , and in an exposed position, were aware of it, opened a fire upon them, wounding many men. Scott, who had joined another party of his men, was wounded, and had gone to the hospital. Now, therefore, I withdrew my men, havioll irst seen that my part of the garden was cleared, and foolishly expose themselVes, were shut closel;mS—one died instantly.. I dined and breakfasted in one, at about five o'clock, at my picquet. I was dreadfully hungry, having had nothing to eat all day, and bard work. We were very busy now in the trenches, countermining and - m i n i,ttg the enemy, and the sth provided their quota of • . working parties.

'One of the; latter had both his arms amputated immediately afterwards, and died eventually. Carter, one of our wounded eifc:rs, died in hospital to-day of his wounds. It is melancholy seeing men drop off one by one—slowly put . se i rely ; bad food, want 'of hospital . stores and comforts do their work,' and you watch men who were at first but slightly wounded waste away inch by inch under a diet hardly sufficient for a child. I' frequently go up to see the sick.bfficers in hospital. It is a heavv'telik to cheer t;ilein up, for we all, sick and healthy, seller mere er lers from the same cause, and have hardly spirit buoy arit though ourselves to impart any cheering influence to others ; besides, affairs until lately have borne a very glot3Triritirpeict, with no "prospect of early re.ief ; but we hive very much to be thankful for that a supply of pro visaons sufficient for the maintenance of our force was laid in at the commencement by the foresight of ' Sir henry Lawrence. Few ether men, I think - , would hive acted with the same discretion and long.mightedness. 'On Sunday, Mears, our present commandant, read:the service to the men. We formed but a small congregation for, in addition to the killed and wounded, many were absent from headlearters on picket duty, reducing our numbers to about 120. Received news tkat the 93d and 233, Queen's, were on the road between Allahabad and Cawnpore, moving to our relief. It is said that some petty rajahs now with the rebels are disheartened at the news received from Delhi, and are contemplating retiring from the struggle, if they can. Maun Sing is. reported to be treating with the general. .. , On Thursday, the 223, the enemy made an :tie,* on Alumbagh, some three or so miles from here, where we left some men and guns, our sick and wounded, and pro visions. They played at long bowls with their artillery. The extent ~f our loss was some four elephants and a few - Slats which their cavalry managed to cut off while out foraging. We, on the other band, could do nothing but hold our own. Young Birch, brother to try friend, got wounded _on_the way here_ Ile was in-tlae Volunteer- Cavalry, his own reginieut—cavalry—having mutinied. 'On Monday, Oct. 28, we really did hear cheering news, td the effect that Col. Grant, of the 4th Lancers, with one Delhi column, was on his way down here to relieve us—that he was urgently recalled by express from Agra, to assist in drivi-g off a large body of the enemy threatening an attack on the place—that he made a forced march of 27 wiles back to Agra, and while the force was breakfas . ting the alarm was spread that they were attacked—that he gave them a tremendous drubbing, • and cut up a great many of the enemy—that troops were fast gathering at Cawnpore—and that 400 men, with a convoy of provisions, had arrived at Alumbagh. Os Wednesday, the 28th October, we received news that Grant bad again defeated the rebels at IVlynpoorie arid Meerutkiserai, and that his Delhi column had ar rived at Cawnpore. This force consisted of a wing of her Majesty's 52d, 250 of 9th Lancers, two troops of Horse Artillery, two regiments of Panjaub Infantry, and two Punjaub Cavalry. In speaking to S-----:-, of the Madras Fusiliers, a day or two ago, I found out • that be knew you all. Major Renaud of the same regi ment ho spoke about; he seems to have been a fine, gallant fellow, and is universally well spoken of. On Saturday, October 31, I found, much to my grief, that my only flannel shirt was getting into holes, and I bad none to replace it; luckily I managed to buy, from a frieed in the • itrenchmenta, some old linen ones for two rupees each, and some socks for about the same prica—very, very cheap, much below the market price. I never could have believed I could have worn the same suit of clothes so long. It is not comfortable, as you may imagine. When my shirt is washed I only wear my coat, and vice verses ; before I got a second pair of trowsers I had to remain in bed for the morning. Yesterday (Monday, 2d November), I had another narrow escape of being shot. I was behind a Venetian door in a turret, with Capt. Grant, of Madras Fusiliers, shooting at the rebels on the top of a sandbagged, loop hooled house, from which they were keeping up a hot fire on our picket. While we were firing they sent in - • several bullets, stinging us with the splinters from the door. Grant had only just picked out some splinters , from my neck, and was en the point of taking a shot, ' when he threw . down his rife, and said, " I'm shot I" I took him down stairs, and laid him down till the doctor came, who dressed his wound and extracted the bullet. I fear from what the doctors say the wound is -. serious, but it is early to judge. I shall go in the even- . ing to see him, poor fellow. Nov. 4.—1 have little more to tell yen now, having brought my diary down to this date. Grant, I am happy to say, is. doing well as yet, and I am in hopes his wound is not so bad as was at first feared.
