Will tell of vast adva p ntage, openin H g then ; And millions of the public will have reason To view it as a most important season, MOSES and SON regard the day as such — Twill prove the birth-day to you all, of INILTC:I. The twenty-fourth of Marcli I —its very mention Speaks of a great event, and claims attention. Let crowds on crowds assemble to survey, ♦nd make the time, a public holiday Let not the mem'rable event be made An ordinary circumstance in trade. Let thousands come from east, west, south, and north. To view the opening on the twenty-fourth! The twenty-fourth of March 1 Its very mention Speaks of a great event, and claims attention. MOSES and SON from this important date Make nobler promises to small and great. Their mightier mart is nothing but a sign Of “methlng mightier in their trade'a design let crowds, then, pass their mart's " triumphant arch, And honour thus the twenty-fourth of March.

On Wednesday evening a numerously-attended meeting of the friends of Poland were held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. On the motion of FEARGUS O'Coloroa, Esq., the chair was taken, at eight o'clock, by Mr. Philip M‘Grath, a work- ing man. The CHAIRMAN, after reading the bill convening the meet ing. called on Mr. Hartley, the secretary, to read letters re ceived in reply to invitations to attend the meeting. Mr. HARNEY then read letters from the following gen tlemen, who were severally requested to take the chair:— General Evans, M.P. ; Dr. Bowring, M.P. ; Joseph H ume, Esq., M.P. ; and Lord Dudley Stuart, declining on the ground of previous engagements, and expressing a belief that any de monstration in favour of the Poles at this moment would not benefit their cause;—from William Howitt, Esq., regretting that a rule of his not to participate in any public meeting would prevent his attendance ;—and from T.Duncombe,Esq , M.P.; T. Wakley, Esq., M.P.; and Joseph Mazzini, Esq., pleading prior engagements, but pledging themselves to be present, if possible, during the evening. The CHAELMAN expressed his sense of the high honour conferred on him by the meeting in placing him in his proud and prominent situation. The meeting had not assembled to do ai act of grace or charity, but to perform an imperative duty by expressing their sympathy, and giving their aid to persecuted Poland, now in arms, to burst the bonds that kept her the footstool of three of the most base and tyrannous Governments that ever the earth was cursed with. From the letters they had heard read by the secretary, it was plain that Poland had no sympathy to expect from the aristocracy. It was to the working classes they had to appeal in England for aid and sympathy, and their appeal would not be in vain. Hr proceeded then to describe the reception the Emperor of Russia met with in England—not only his blood-stained hand shook by Prince Albert, but and olluted p and perjured lips allowed to salute the cheek of the Queen. for the paltry bribe of golden snuff-boxes. r blackened humanity, and accused th e aristocrac y of hHaevidnegs,cbriybetdhehirimrecaesptaionmoonfshteimr him, participated of every crime that Mr. CLARKE moved the first resolution , denouncing the banrxtiecai.pated in his guilt partitions of Poland and the acts of the congress of Vienna, relating to that country, as crimes of the bla ckest dye, ju fying the present insurrection, and invoking the sympathy and support of the British people. He then proceeded at con siderable length, and in very eloquent style, to paint the sufferings of Poland—protesting against the right of crowned heads to commit crime more than private individuals. Tne Emperors of Russia and Austria, and the King of Prussia, were, he said, not content with being robbers, but they were murderers. And the very fact of their being the scourges of Poland entitled that brave but unfortunate country to the sympathy, not of the aristocracy , but of ev e ry honest work ing man - throughout the world. Mr. WHEELER, in a brief but able speech, seconded the re solution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. FEARGUS O'Colixoa supported the resolution. He said, when the Members of Parliament who declined attend ing the meeting should read the proceedings, they would have reason to congratulate themselves on their absence; for if their rubbish was to be placed in contrast with the eloquence of the working men who had spoken, they . would suffer by the comparison. If the Poles continued quiet and subservient, and hugged their chains, they would have the sympathy, not only of those Hon. Members, but of their b ro ther aristocrats; but the moment they rise to struggle for their liberty, then the word was, "it is not time." He pro ceeded at considerable length to denounce the atrocious con duct of the Emperor of Russia, who was, he said, almost out- Heroded in iniquity by the recipients of his diamond rings and snuff-boxes- He thanked God that he was compelled to bribe even the police with diamond rings to protect him in England. There was still time to aid the revolution, for it was not yet put down, notwithstanding the representations of the base and truculent press. He did not exempt from this censure the press of London ; for a more base, truculent, or perfidious press never existed. He then alluded in no w m a e e a stuhreedfnteerrtmh s estate,t h e Times, waann an wna d an pp t e h db3 k , e t d h G e ofidftht h e a s t ta w t e h — at the voice of the people. The resolution was then put from the chair, and carried nern.oa. Mr. G. J. H ARVEY then moved, " That this meeting, I being convinced that a state of society which recognises pri vileged classes—the former enjoying the ad vantagesael c l ya because the t h l liberal r w a l e re portiond etehgtr::: determined b i n te t e elol d rdr i oi n i i epss r ee p e ,am o f n e h s i . d.e . n h gwr e social state, and the latter suffering its bur nt? great cause demanding theof calamities th e nn m pcomplete afflicting re a restoration r t a h t e i mass nn nf tohf embsa—n ki a s n nt nddhf mankind—while the nationality and independent sovereignty of Poland, re gards the accompanying reformation of Polish society to be indispensable for the freedom and happiness of the Polish people. And as the Cracow manifesto of the 23d of Feb ruary, 1846, proclaiming the abolition of all class distinctions and the commencement of the equal political and social brotherhood of all Poles, embodies our views of political and social justice, this meeting recognises the said manifesto as the going en in Poland. He denied that basis of Polish action, and entitled to the support of the people of all nations." Ile cordially agreed with the sentiments ex pres,ed by Mr. F. O'Connor, as regarded the servility of the etecpress,ept Poles sn d ew struggle u r r e gegb e l s )e , n s l a go il m na e e gn principle loiuuonnrrreosei eeppuddel e i wo n mlnitti the w a shis manifesto o n opinion stwi Cracow, a, l is e ,f t c etraffhoneepdcept hoped u t hr l piaeodi purpose e r hoe e efa e nt d s o teth m aoeto . eat, d and acteu upon throughout r kings, and if he believed that the present struggle in Poland could assure them that they would neither have his sympathy, nor the sympathy of the working classes of England. The manifesto of Cracow had been denounced because it was said that it encouraged what was called communism, but he asked, had not the most beneficial measures which had been proposed in England been misnamed by the press? He assured them that the Poles would not receive any sympathy from the aristocracy, yet he was satisfied that the movement, commenced that evening by the working men, would not languish, but would go on conquering, and to conquer. Mr. DOYLE seconded the resolution, and expressed his hearty concurrence in the manifesto of Cracow, and the abo lition of all privileged classes. Mr. C. SCHAFFER, a native of Germany, supported the resolution, and referred to the pecuniary assistance which had been rendered to the Poles by the French and Germans, under coercive laws, and the sympathy which had been ex pressed with them in their glorious struggle for liberty. The resolution was then put to the meeting, and carried unanimously. Mr. RIGLEY then proposed—" That a petition be addresed to the British Parliament, requesting the intervention of the British Government in support of the restoration of Polish nationality and freedom." This resolution having been seconded by Mr. LINTON and supported by the Rev. J. L. MELTON, of Southampton, was also adopted unanimously. Mr. HAINES moved the next resolution, which was—" That this meeting, recognising the brotherhood of the human race, express their grateful thanks to the people of France and Germany for the noble sympathy shown by them in behalf, of the Polish people. And this meeting appeals to their fellow men of the entire civilised world to give their generous aid to the cause of Poland's regeneration." Mr. CLIFFY seconded the resolution, which was carried. Mr. KEAN moved the next resolution, as follows :—" That this meeting appeals specially to the people of Great Britain and Ireland to exhibit their sympathy for Poland by pecu niary subscriptions, and by holding public meetings, and by petitions and addresses to the Parliament and govern ment in support of the cause of Polish liberty. That a Com mittee be now formed, to be entitled, Poland's Regenera tion Committee,' for the purpose of guarding the interests of the Polish cause, and promoting, by every available means, the restoration of Poland." Mr. MATE seconded the resolution, which was agreed to. A committee was then appointed, after which a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman. Three cheers were then given for Frost, Williams, and Jones; three cheers for Po land ; and three cheers for I'. S. Duncombe and the people's charter. The meeting separated at a quarter before twelve o'clock.

MR. BURFORD'S NEW PANORAMA OF THE CITY OF CONSTANTINOPLE.- (THIS DAY.) We were, this day, favoured with a private view of Mr. Burford's new Panorama of the City of Constantinople, with its European and Asiatic suburbs, which will be publicly ex hibited to-morrow for the first time, in the Upper Circle at the Panorama Royal, Leicester.square. The Panorama is painted by Mr. burford, assisted by Mr. 11. C. Selous, (thelsuccessful competitor for the Art-Lnion Cartoon Prize of 5001.) from drawings taken on the spot by W. J. Smith, Esq., of her Britannic Majesty's Embassy, at Constantinople. The Panorama is taken from the Seraskier's Tower, a lofty build ing crowning the highest of the seven hills on which Stam boul, " the Queen of Cities," is built, and consequently a situation commanding completely the city and its environs, and around which appear massed Mosques, Mina rets, and Kiosks in countless variety beyond which stretches a beautifully picturesque romantic country, exhibiting on the one side the shores of Europe with the Bosphorus, and on the other the Sea of Marmora with the coast of Asia—a scene which Byron declared, enthusiastically, to be the most beautiful sea view in the world, and which he might, with truth, have denominated as the very finest combination of earth, sea, sky, and water, that ever entered into the com position of a landscape. Commencing from the Seraskier's Tower, and proceeding towards the right, we see the castle of the Seven Towers in the distance, backed by the village of St. Stephano. Proceeding onward, we find there an im mense number of mosques and minarets occupying the fore ground, until we arrive at the Aqueduct of Valens, which is very conspicuous. The Mosque of Mohammed 11. is the next conspicuous object. The suburbs of E,youb and Fanar (the Greek Quarter), are next brought into view, and then we get sight of the splendid Mosque of Soli man, with his tomb, the arsenal, the palace of the Capitan Pacha, the far - famed golden Horn, with its fioatingibridge, leading to Galata : which, with its towers and its suburb of Pera, crowning the heights, appears on the other side the blue waters of the harbour. We now get a delightful view of the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmora, with their clear blue waters, bounded on eachitide by the most picturesque portions of Europe and Asia It would seem as though Nature had intended that when the two most civilized quarters of the Old World united there should the peculiar natural beauties of each continent be combined to form an earthly paradise. Words cannot do justice to this scene of enchantment ; but what words cannot do has been done by the pencil of Mr. Burford. He has painted this Panorama of Contantinople in a manner that can leave nothing to be desired. The subject is one worthy the pencil of a great artist, and it has found one, equal in every respect to do it justice. Whig Mr. Finch was speaking, last evening, the Opposition benches gradually thinned off, until at length Mr. Hume fining shildme,selaLtdshust general aban- was the only tenant in tze Poss uo r e doned, he ran across the Ministerial On laughter, and the Opposition benches remained entirely vacant for a considerable time. There were about thirty Members on the Minis trial side. MEHEMET ALI AND SIR JOHN PIRIE.—ALEXANDRIA, IlLtitcu 10.—Sir John Pixie has had several interviews with the Viceroy en the subject of the transit through Egypt. He first met the Pacha at the town of Minieh, in the upper country, where he was very hospitably received by his Highness, who invited him to dinner on board his steamer, and sat at the head of the table between Lady Pixie and Mrs. Davidson, the wife of the superintendent of the Peninsula and Oriental Company. Sir John Pixie presented to the Pacha a gold medal, struck in comme moration of the opening of the London Royal Exchange, with which mark of attention his Highness was much pleased, and immediately put it over his shoulders. This medal is one of two only which were made of the same description on the occasion of the opening of the Royal Exchange ; one was for Prince Albert, the other for Sir John Pixie, as Lord Mayor. Sir John ?iris found the Viceroy very firm on the sabject 01 keeping the transit through Egypt entirely in his own hands ; he, however, ob tained from his Highness the engagement that Europ eans, an d Englishmen in preference, should be employed to direct the the Company.—Correspondent of the Times, THE MELODISTS.—This dub, which was established in 1825, for the encouragement of melody and ballad composition, ailed on Thursday at the Freemasons' Tavern, when several songs and glees were sung by a host of vocalists, and soh on the pianoforte and concertina were executed by Mr. W. H.:Holmes and Mr. Re gondi. The Earl of Westmorland having offered a prize of 101. for the best serenade, and W. H. Smith, Esq., five guneas for the second best, five candidates entered the lists, whose compositions were sung by Mr. Hobbs, accompanied en the pianoforte by Mr. Horn. Mr. Parry, the indefatigable honorary secretary, was declared to be the winner of the first prize ; and Mr. Blewitt had the second awarded to him. The Duke of Cambridge will give a prise for a pastoral ballad, which will be awarded on the 7th of May, when his Royal Highness will dine with the club, the members of which are most liberal in their invitations both to native and foreign artists. Yesterday evening a general meeting of the Commit tee of Management of the Hospital for Consumption and Diseases u iIS at Brompton, the Chest was held at the Chelsea Hospital. From the statement the expense o f given it appears that with regard to the new build' that the west wing is now externally completed. The amount of contract for the erection of that portion of the building, together with and other necessary expenses n fron ti t ;ed is l in l,7 g 6 r 2anl.l;te , inclosi ng the ground con nected with the building, is 1,1141. To meet thes e of 8,1541. has been received. The estimated cost of furnishing the th wi e th te rro a n ce rail in i hospital is about 1,5001., towards which the Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of Durham has offered t o contribute 501., providing providing nine other subscriptions of a similar s um can be obtained. " Suspicious CASE OF CHILD MURDER. Late last evening an inquest was held before W. Carter, Esq.. at the Hero of Waterloo Tavern, Waterloo -road, Lambeth, on the body of a newly born male child, found near Waterloo-bridge. Oa Monday night last, about eight o'clock, a waterman, Named Thomas Hosier, saw a parcel lying on the logs near Waterloo-bridge. He found that it contained the body of a male child. The wrapper consisted of an old apron and a newspaper, which he imprudently threw away. The body was conveyed to Mr. Anderson, the summoning-officer, into whose cus tody it was given. Mr. F. Dawson, surgeon, of Francis-street, said that he examined the body and found a considerable swelling of the right eye and cheek. The skull bones were completely crushed and broken in. The lungs and viscera were quite healthy and dilly de veloped. The liver was lacerated in two places. He had no doubt the deceased had been born alive, and the injuries appeared to have been inflicted after birth, and were evidently the results of violence. The Coroner, finding that an important witness was not in attend ance, adjourned the inquiry until Ileactiv nut.

The Proprietor begs to announce that he has entered into arrange ments with the manufacturers of this beautiful fabric, so that, not withstanding its increasing demaisd, he has no hesitation in stating that he will be in possession of a sufficient quantity to answer all the demands of his patrons. The Proprietor further begs to state that the Registered Shirt, for which he has obtained so much celebrity, will be wholly composed of this linen, exaepting where the preference is given to the fronts, collars, and Wrstbands being only of linen, in which case such will also be made of the golden flax. And in submitting the Registered Shirt to the public, he feels desirous to explain that no absurd novelty is therein introduced, but that be has succeeded in connecting the easy looseness so necessary to this garment with a plain smooth setting front, which it retains during the whole of the time in wear, and does not rise in wrinkled folds with the slightest movement of the body—the common appearance, it will be allowed, of this hitherto much-neglected, yet most essential article of dress. No grinding wages, no system of starvation pursued, but remunerative prices are paid for work ; thus are concentrated in the Registered Shirt a superior fit, good work, and purity of material—toe latter a great advantage of itself, as those portions of this garment which are seen presenting a beautiful snow-white appearance, being the pecu liar property of the Golden Flax Linen and Cambric.

The Great Metropolitan Stake was fairly launched yester day afternoon, and, with Auricula, on the strength of her running at Northampton, as first favourite, will, we have not the slightest doubt, prove a fruitful source of speculation. In addition to Auricula, we may instance Peasant, Lyons, and My Mary, as having been conspicuously in favour, and from the disposition shown to back them in several quarters, we are led to expect that our next quotations will be favourable to their supporters. Lord Saltoun, Corranna, Satyr, and Killi Krankie were also backed, but only to small amounts. The Chester betting was limited, and without the slightest effect on the prices. The only bets that came to our kno Aledge on the Derby were 1,300 to 100, 650 to 50, and 12 to 1 against Brocardo, 1,000 to 20 against lapis Fatuus, and 2,000 to 35 against Arkwright.

Holders of scrip and original subscribers to deeds feel now the full force of the loss and awful responsibilities which they have taken upon themselves during the late mania, every revulsion having the effect to increase the loss and the responsibility. The feeling has become general that all pro jected schemes not rendered absolutely necessary should be with drawn from further progress In Parliament, and the balance of the deposits returned to the unfortunate scripholders, without loss of time.

The following letter from a youth of 17, gives a gra phic account of the late actions in India:— " Camp, somewhere near Ferozepore, on the banks of a nullah' (river), Jan. 2, 1846. " My dearest Uncle,—Before this letter reaches its desti nation, you will, no doubt, have seen and read the Governor- General's dispatch, containing an account of the two actions fought—on the 18th of December, and the other on the 21st and 22d of the same mouth—also, a list of the killed and wounded ; and, amongst the latter, you will see flourishing my father's and my own name ; but when you see them be not alarmed, for we are both, thank God, doing well ; and, what's more, you will not only see us mentioned amongst the killed and wounded, but, I hope, amongst the gallant and brave. One thing I can safely say, that we neither of us disgraced the family, nor the Irish blood flowing within us. I suppose you would like to hear my account of the battle ; well, as much of it as I saw you shall have. In your last letter to rite (received yesterday) you advised me to offer my services as a cavalry volunteer, should there be war with the Punjaub. You will be surprised to hear that I offered my.. self more than a fortnight ago, and wai accepted, and made acting aid-de-camp to Brigadier Gough on the spot, who commanded the second brigade of cavalry, consisting of the Governor-General's body guard and the sth regiment of Light Cavalry. I thought myself one of the luckiest dogs on the face of the earth ; and all I wished for was a fight that day, just that I might have an opportunity of showing the brigadier what sort of fellow lie had for an aid-de-camp. By Jove, uncle! I had scarcely expressed the wish when a letter came to say that the Seikhs were in force not far ahead. The order was immediately given to advance in line, draw swords, and load pistols; and we advanced in a most beautiful line, horse artillery and cavalry together, the in• fantry in the rear a good distance. Well, we advanced in this way for many miles; and at last, seeing no enemy, the order was given to halt, at a place called Moodkee, and mark out the ground for the camp, which was done in a abort time; and, soon afterwards, we found ourselves seated round a table in the open air, eating and drinking away at a splendid. lunch, or tiflin, as they call it in this country But a soldier's life is so uncertain ; you do not know what a minute may bring forth. There we were (eight of us), seated round this table. talking, laughing, eating and drink., ing, little thinking what was in store for us. We had been in this way for about half an hour, when, all of a sudden, one of the officers jumped up and said, Do you hear the assembly' sounding r We were on our feet in half a second, and soon after every man was on horse.. cheer back. I took up my post clos e to thebri g adier, and followe d him every where he went. The o rder was given, 2d bri gade, you;!' form The line gallantand a advance; vyaonucneg; fellowsthe e enemy e o m f t y h r s e t w h i g t ha gave a a —enough to do any ones heart good who heard it, and ad vanced steadily. We had proceeded about three-quarters of a mile from camp, when we heard a bang and a whiz, and. then another and another in rapid succession. Our artillery came up in the meantime, and began firing at theirs. The cavalry were drawn up in line behind the artillery, and every now and then a round shot from the enemy's guns came into our ranks. The infantry had not come up at this time. An order came from the chief, telling the cavalry to go at a smart trot, and turn the left flank of the enemy. At this time I was not with the brigadier, he having sent me to camp to tell the 4th Lancers to come up at a gallop and join the rest of the cavalry. When I returned I found the cavalry moving round the flank, and I was obliged to go at a good gallop to overtake the brigadier. Whilst passing the sth a round shot came whiz quite close to me and entered their ranks, that was the first shot that took effect that day, it broke two of the horse's legs, and that was the last I saw of the sth Light Cavalry. Her Majesty's 3d Dragoons were leading, followed by the 2d brigade, and also by the 4th Lancers. We had gone in this way for a mile, when the Dragoons ahead of us gave a cheer; they had just got a glimpse of the enemy. We took up their cheers—had scarcely commenced, when an order was given, 'Body-guard, right wheel.' I turned round to see what was the meaning of the order, and the first thing that caught my eye was a body of the Seikh cavalry amongst a lot of bushes. A great number of the body guardmen did not hear the order and fol lowed the 3d Dragoons. We managed, however, to get about forty of them together, and went at the enemy in sections of threes—not being able to form a line aud charge on account of the bushes. The cheer I told you of before, that the 3d Dragoons gave, raised my Irish spirit to such a pitch that I said to myself, Now, then, for the honour of Old Erin,' and in another minute I found myself in the middle of the Sikhs. I was surrounded by four of these blackguards, all cutting and slashing at me with their swords, and to make me worse, I lost both my stirrups: there was not a man of the body-guard near me at the time ; it was a dreadful situation to be in, certainly ; and the only thing left was to make a last effort, which I did by digging both my heels into the sides of my little horse, and giving one or two jolly cuts with my sword, which cleared the way for me ; I soon found myself amongst the body-guard again, with only a slight wound on the thigh. Not long after this, we were at them again, and I got a shot right through the muscle of my right arm, and another a little higher up, which went . throught my coat and my shirt, but never touched my skin. Was not that a narrow escape? Four officers out of six were wounded that evening; I mean those of the body-guard. Well, after fighting for some time, we (forty of us) gave, about 200 of the Seikhs as good a licking as ever they got. But if those fellows fought as well at the end as they did at the commencement they would have cut up every one of us; for we are no match to them in hand-in-hand work. They use their swords and manage their horses a great eeal better than we do ; and they proved it that evening. Two of the officers had their reins cut; a fellow tried that at mine, but missed, and caught my horse such a cut be , - hind the ear. "The battle of Moodkee, I see, has taken up a whole sheet of paper. I must therefore cut it short; but, before doing so, I must tell you something of my father, and the narrow escape he had that evening. My dad, with his regiment, lost sight of the brigade soon after we made the move round the enemy's flank. The dust and smoke were so great that you could not see your hand before you. Had it not been for that, the sth would have been tip with us when we at tacked those fellows in the bushes, and the consequence would have been that they would all have been butchered, and very likely we should not have been so severely cut up. When my governor found himself all alone with his regiment. he was rather puzzled what to do ; but, rather than stand still, he moved on with his regiment towards some dust he saw in the distance, not knowing whether it was the enemy or ourselves that was kicking it up, and caring very little which—but on he went. After ten minutes' canter ing, he was astonished to hear his men cheering, and asked them why they did so ? They said they saw the Seikhs ahead. He bad not time to give them an order, for no sooner had they commenced cheering than his horse—a brute he gave 1,000 rupees only a week before— took to its heels, and rushed off right into the middle of the enemy's infants y. Not a man of the sth went after Jinn, though they would follow him to the —, if they had orders ; but they were obliged to keep to their ranks. The Seikhs fired volley after volley at him ; but, by some luck or other, he went right through their ranks without getting a hit. He was a long time riding alone by himself, and at. last he came up with the Commander-in-Chief, Sir Robert Sale, and the 31st Queen's. He was talking to Sir Robert Sale when he was shot, and, at the same time, my go vernor, was hit with some grape in the left arm, and had his sword broken over his head; and an hour or two after the fighting was over, we all returned to camp and had a splendid dinner. Now then, uncle, I must hurry over the account of the next action, which lasted twenty-four hours ; the Waterloo of India. We had two days given us, after the Moodkee affair, to rest our limbs and bury our dead. On the morning of the 21st we marched at sunset in battle array, the infantry leading, followed by artillery, protected by cavalry. We marched about twelve miles, when the halt was sounded. We dismounted and had something to eat. We had about a quarter of an hour's rest, when we were on the move again towards the enemy's in trenched camp, which was distant about two miles. In a short time we were within gunshot of it. The halt again sounded, and the Governor-General, Commander-in-Chief, and all the general officers, held a consultation whether we should at tack them at once, or wait until the following morning. Sir Hugh Gough was for attacking them at once, and it was at n t i h er r e ee w o as 'cl a oc h k e , as o .y ur fi l r i e ea k vy ept gu u ns p last we managed to set fire to their forpoemn give ne dbionithphoiisisidilteabsveyruArca;tmsop'. camp. Our infantry made three or four charges at their bat teries, and succeeded in driving the fellows away from their, guns, and spiking them ; but they could get no further than the guns. The enemy's infantry fought beautifully. I don't mean to say they could lick ours, but they blew hundreds of our brave fellows up by springing mines, and then conving down in numbers, and tiring at us with their matchloclis. It was about nine o'clock when our infantry retired *am the camp. I was at that time with the sth Cavalry talking to my father, when a round shot came right between us both, and killed a trooper and a horse behind us. By Jove uncle, I shall never forget that shot as long as I live, the whiz that that ball made was ringing in my ears for at lewd an hour afterwards. We bivouacked for that night close to the enemy's camp, and they amused themselves by firing at. us with their big guns the whole night. At daybreak, on the morning of the 22d, we went to them again, and drove them out of their entrenchments at one o'clock. The Governor- General sent for the 6th Cavalry, and ordered it tcs go ahead four miles, to see if the Seikhs had gone oft. We had scarcely gone a mile when the blackguards came down on us again. That was the critical mo.. ment ; the fate of India was at stake; it was a regular case of fight or die, and the former we did in style. At three o'clock in the afternoon of the 22d the fate of Incite was decided, and the most bloody battle ever fought in this quarter of the world finished. At five o'clock that evening we went into Ferozepore, and bivouacked that night. The next morning I went and got my wounds dressed, and lucky for me I did. The first thing the doctor said y ch — a when he saw my arm was, It's lucky f or you, my Ants anotheryoung man , day wi t ho u t you e y ourit dressed,arm t o ti d e a you would have lost the use of it alt oge th er .

In Hopewell' on the 24th ult., a dispute arose between Jesse Gilbert, of Maryland, and William Blair, of Ohio, relative to the Oregon question. Mr. air called Mr. Gilbert a Tory (that is, being a whole hogger and a $ epudiator) for which insult Mr. Gilbert challenged arrangement States hi rifles —the o t mortal combat. The weapons used were United distance sixty paces. According to the the seconds, they stood back to back, and at the word stepped off thirty paces, wheeled and tired. Mr. Gilbert's ball passed through the right lapel of Mr. Blair's coat, when the seconds Interfered, compromised the dlffi. culty, and prevented any effusion of blood. This is the Irst fight in the Oregon war, and it has terminated without any body being killed or wounded. Mr. Blair, the individual mentioned in this paragraph. is a native of Paisley, who emigrated to America a number of years ago. He is in comfortable pecuniary circumstances. When in his native land he was (being a Paisley man) as a matter of course a keen reformer ; since his sojourn in his old adopted country he has ranged himself on the side of the "old country."—Greenock Advertiser. DEATH IN THE STREET.—Last night an inquest was held by Mr. Bedford, at the George, Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn, on the body of Rebecca Anglish, aged about forty-five, whose death took place under the circumstances subjoined. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased was, on the morning of Wednesday. about four o'clock, found by the police-constable on duty in New. court, Great Wild-street, Drury-lane, in almost a state of nudity, an old gown being the only article of apparel she had on. She was lying across the pavement, and her appearance indi cating illness she was removed on a stretcher to the King's College Hospital, before reaching which she ceased to exist. De. ceased was the widow of a broker, and had for years dwelt in Broker's-row. After her husband's death she would nightly go out, when her shop was shut up, and return at a late hour the worse for liquor, when, instead of going to bed, she would lie on a heap of cinders. In November last she was ejected item her house, which she rented under the Mercers' Company, and since then she had, up to about two months ago, been living upon the money her goods fetched.
