Sackvilleestreet, Piccadilly. • In the present eventful state of Ireland, the Committee of the :Irish Society 'of London :would 4 call the attention of the Public to , the beneficial results of the Society's .labours in that colliery, and • would earnestly appeal' for increased " support, to carry out the objects, which it has ineseenve and while they by no means undervaltfe the efforts which are being made, whether by legislation or by private enterprise, to improve the temporal condition of Ireland, the Committee feel convinced, from much ex perience, that' all the remedies proposed must prove unavailing, no- less,. at the same time, measures are taken to elevate the moral character of the Irish peasantry by means of religious instraetien. The Irish Society labours indite native'districts, where upwards of 3,000,000 of the popillation speak.the Irish language.. There are now 800 teachers connected with it, who instruct the native Irish in reading the Word of God." Since the commencement 300,000 individuals, chiefly adults, have thus been taught to read the Scriptures, many of whom embraced the Protestant faith. Ono hundred and eight Scripture readers aro employed, who read the Irish Bibles in the cabins, or to groups of the peasantry at work n their fiddle or by the road side. Seven Irish -speaking clergymen are in connexion with the Society Wild read the Liturgy, and preach the Gospel in the!natiee language. Ten congregations of converts have been raised up, or are now Ministered to through the instrumentality of the Society. Two of _eteeese are in the eonnty of Gelway, two in the eotioty of Cerk, and all in Kerry. Many Roman Catholics, not incladed in those distinct congrega tions, have been brought, thrangh the blessing of Almighty God upon the Society's labours, to renounce the errors of Rome, and are now incorporated with old Protestant congregations. Some groups of converts who have been instructed by the Society are asking for Irish clergymen to be located amongst them. In various places crowds of Roman Catholics attend Protestant churches and school-houses, where an Irish-speaking clergyman has been announced to preach. One clergyman states : " In the Cathedral of I ?reached on Wednesday evening. The church was filled, the Roman Catholics standing tip to the reading-desk, and outside the doors. At D---, on Sunday night, there, had we a place large enough, we might have had many hun dreds of Romanists ; as it was, we had a goodly number, and those who were obliged to stand outside the window bccasionally requested that I would speak up, so as they might hear." Another writes:— "I had a most interesting tour through the C— Irish districts. I preached 20 sermons, in Irish, to over 2,000 in all. I may count that 1,000 wore converts, 500 Romanists, and 500 old Protestants. One poor man, who was not hearing me, heard so much about the Sermon from others, that he said he would come to hear the xext sermon, if the priest would roast him in the fire for it.' Many a poor creature from the heart said, 0, when will yon come again ter ? Alas ! that we hav'nt an Irish ministry.'" Such are some of the results of the Society's proceedings ; but the committee would allude to sue more, of considerable importance at the present time, and that is, that wherever the native Irish have been instructed by the Society, they have become loyal subjects of our Queen, and abstain from all connexion with the treasonable practices and illegal associations which are so hostile to the peace and prosperity of the kingdom. The Committee have made diligent inquiries upon this snbject, and the replies to their inquiries have been highly satisfactory. The following are extracts from one letter out of upwards of twenty of the same character received by the Committee:— " I affirm it as a fact that could not he contradicted, that out of the thousands in Ireland connected with the Irish Society, that none of them are connected with illegal associations, or with that dan gerous agitation now so formidable, and hostile to Ireland's best interests. Our teachers and pupils are almost entirely friendly to British connexion ; they have felt Rome's spiritual tyranny, and they believe, if the union with Great Britain were dissolved, that both spiritual and political ;tyranny would become intolerable." And there are not a few instances of members of Ribbon or other Illegal associations having been converted through the instrumen tality of the Society, and now employed in teaching their country men to read, the Word of God. An indvidual who lately visited a congresation of converts In one of the wildest districts of the west, remarks : '' When I entered the cabin, the whole congregation rose, seeing a stranger with a Bible in his hand, and gave me a hearty wel come, crying out' Cead Mille Failthe,' Cead Mille Failthe.' They Were orderly in their conduct, and deeply attentive to the Word of God. I was especially pleased with the demeanour of two indivi duals, and not a little gratified at afterwards hearing their story. One had been a celebrated and lawless pugilist, the other the leader of a Ribbon Lodge, both of them daring characters in the neigh bourhood ; but through the mercy of God they met with the teachers of the Irish Society, they were Instructed in the Scriptures, and now, from their respectable appearance and general conduct, as well from the change which has taken place, they might he described in the language of inspiration, Sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in their right mind.' One of them is the owner of the cabin where the congregation was assembled—the other, the Scripture Reader employed in the district." To extend these benefits, under the blessing of God, amongst the Irish-speaking part of the population the present appeal is made. It is acknowledged by all parties that something must be done for Ireland ; and without limiting the measures which may he devised by the benevolent, the Committee of the Iris h Societ y of London would respectfully saggest that religious instructien.should have a prominent place amongst them. It has succeeded in the Protestant districts of the north of Ireland, which are as free from crime, disloyalty, and pauperism as any parts of England, and where industry and order flourish to a remarkable degree. It has succeeded, under the blessing of the Most High , in hose native districts and localities where the inhabitants have been .ustrected by the teachers of the Irish Society, in which crime, sedi tion, and animosity have given place to peace, to loyalty, and good will. And why should it not succeed upon a greatly extended scale ? It is a measure which the Committee believe God will honour—that God will surely bless. There is a prom se which they would desire to remember, and in humble reliance upon which they carry on the Work committed to their charge—" My word .• ....shall not retnrn unto me void ; but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." That " word" when blessed by God the Spirit, will teach even the Most deluded of the Irish peasants to " submit to every ordinance of Man for the Lord's sake." It will inculcate industrious habits—" if any would not work, neither should he eat."an It will produce a respect for l ife and property, and thus give anf opportunity fsr the introduction of ca p ital, and the employment o the people at home, enabling them to support themselves, instead of b eing a burden to others. It will bet he - ure remedy for treason and rebellion—" Fear God — honour the king—and meddle not with them that are given to change." Above all, it will teach them the way of eternal salvation, through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.—John iii. 16, 17. — Acts iv. 12. The inhabitants of England, Wales, the Highlands of Scotland, and of the distant colonies, all hear, in their own tongue, the won derful works of God ; and the Co emittee make this appeal to the Christian and benevolent public, that they may be enabled to send to the 3,000.000 of the native Irish, religious instruction in that lan guage which they can understand.

The strength of the force near Moultan, before the arrival of. that under General Whish, seems to have stood as follows—but here we are far from being assured of the accuracy of our facts : the troops of the Bahawul Khaa'are estimated at 6,000 - or 7,000; those sccomptuying Cokinel Cortlandt and Captain Edwarde. from the Deritjat at from 4,000 to 5 000—probably [2,000 in all, vaith' twenty 'guns, though sons estimates bring them up to 10,000 . be'ore the junction of Sirdar Utter . Singh, with 6,000 men, ten guns, and two mortars, on the 14th . of July. These may be guessed in all, therefore; at probably not under-23,000 tnen, with 30 guns. ' Besides these,' Shere Singh, the 'Durbar leader, sent out iii May from Lahore, had 3.000 men under his cdmtnand; so that the total number, regular and- irregular, can scarcely fall much short dt 32,000, with some 75 pieces or ordnance or-one sort or another at their disposal. If .we are uncertain of the strength of our own army, we are wholly in the dark a to that of : the enemy; latest accounts reckon it at from 7,000 to 12,000, with 52, guns. Frorn the determined attitude of defiance now assumed by him, with a force so overwhelming as that already enumerated before him. we are led to suspect the accuracy of much of the in formation formerly received in reference to his fears. It is sufficiently apparent, from the state of matters on both sides, that ()kith he and we are under the conviction that the friends of his cause through get the' Punjaub are numerous and pawerful. On the morning of the 4th the siege train arrived and took up its ! position in the open space reserved for it. It consisted of 34 pieces of heavy ordnance. It was accompanied:by an escort of the 11th Irregular Hbrse and 49th Native Infantry. Two hundred and eighty bullook carts and 3,500 camels were required to carry their stores, and such was the length of the train that the head of it arrived at Moultan before the other-extremity had got out of camp eight miles be hind. On the sth a grand parade of all the troops was ordered, and a royal salute was. fired in honour of the occasion.. Prize agents wore at this time appointed by the :'General—rather prernaturely, as will presently appear. This was returned by a continued discharge . from the ramparts—which proved harmless, .the shot 'having fallen short. • 'A proclamation was: s saisavo made and distributed about the town, intimating that f or ' the next twenty-four ho u rs, such of the inhabitants as desired it would find protection in the camp.; after this no one would be suffered to pass the gates. On the evening of the 6th the mortar batteries opened, and a large number of shells were thrown into the town, doing considerable injury and occasioning the utmost alarm. Rungram Singh, a kinsman and principal officer of the Dewan, had been detected communicating with the La hore Durbar, and was in consequence thrown into prison by his master. Six 18-pounders and four 8-inch mor tars were ordered to be advanced towards the town in the course of the night. The howitzers and mortars were to be put in position about 1,200 yards from the south-east angle of the town, and when the suburbs and intervening grounds were cleared of the enemy by their fire the 18-pounders were to be moved up within 400 or 500 yards of the walls, and battering to be commenced. A breach was expected to be es tablished in the course of the _day, when the town was to be carried by assault; the storming party to consist of her Majesty's 32d, the .49th and 51st Native Infantry, to be accompanied as far as pos sible by M'Kenzie's Horse Artillery. It was expected that the storm would be attempted late in the afternoon of the 7th or at daybreak on the Bth. Further consi deration induced the General to alter the whole plan of his operations, and on consideration of the extreme de termination of the Enemy, the - strength of the place, and the severity of the conflict likely to be carried on in the streets while the citadel continued in the hands of the insurgents, it was resolved to avoid so heavy and so superfluous a sacrifice Of life as this was likely to occasion and to proceed by regular approaches. It turned out afterwards that the enemy had improved their time, and very skilfully en trenched or fortified every tenable point betwixt our camp and the walls. On the evening of the 6th we had begun to throw shells into the town. The troops were ordered to assemble at three o'clock on the morning of the 7th, and the quartermasters of regiments to meet the Quartermaster-General at daybreak, to take up new ground for the force. Some time before daybreak the 72d Native Infantry, three guns under Captain Ander son, and the greater part of the llth Irregular Horse, proceeded to take possession of a hamlet and mound where a gun had been placed from which the enemy used to fire on our pickets. So seeefsas daylight allowed them, the 72d threw out its skirmishers, and the artillery got into a position well sheltered from the guns both of the fort and city. After some sharp firing in which the Rifles played a conspicuous part, the enemy, at least five times as numerous as their assailants, were driven from their position. ' They took shelter in a village right under the guns of the city and fort ; from this they were quickly driven at the bayonet's point by our troops—nor did they slacken their speed till fairly within the town. The Dewan continued to play his guns unceasingly from the walls ; the Ants -passed over the heads of the parties for whom they were intended, and came rolling down towards the camp. The sappers and miners continued incessantly at work in the trenches, 800 Emropeaus taking the place overnight of a cor responding number of Sepoys kept at work throughout the day. On the morning of the Bth the 52d Native In fantry made an attack upon another outpost ; they fir.4l a heavy volley into the village, and then drove the enemy before them at the bayonet's point ; scarcely any injury was sustained by them. Throughout the day it was held by three companies of the 52d. On the following morn ing the 52d was relieved by the 49th, and the post pre viously held by the three companies of the former was now occupied by a like number of the latter corps amounting to 120, under a captain and subaltern. The enemy were in possession of a strong post about 100 yards in front—from this they maintained a dropping matchlock fire on us, so well directed that the moment a man showed himself he was sure to be hit. It afterwards appeared that they had here strongly entrenched themselves, and as soon as night drew on, and the European soldiers of the 10th began to excavate a new parallel, a furious and deadly fire was opened upon them. This they immediately returned, but with small effect, in consequence of the denseness of the thicket, and the shelter around. The officer command ing in the trenches at length attacked the garden and village from which the enemy were annoying us. Some companies of the 72d here joined in the fray, and at first the enemy were driven out of their cover. The post in the garden was a strong one • in the village one large house full of men was loopholed; and though the door was forced by Lieutenant Richardson, the troops failed to effect an entrance. So hot meanwhile was the fire of the enemy, that the European soldiers were com pelled to seek shelter, and ultimately to retire. The enemy pressed on them until they had fallen back on the entrenchments; they then moved off in line to re occupy the garden from which they had at first been driven. The fire was not, it is said, surpassed in fury at Moodkee or Sobraen. Out of 90 men engaged her Majesty's 10th had 40 wounded almost all of them severely ; the 49th Native Infantry 28. Brigadier Markham, Lieutenants Hollinsworth, Richardson, and Irwin were all wounded. The post assailed was about 600 yards from our outworks; the assault was boldly made, but the place was much too strong for cap ture. The detachment of the 49th was new strengthened by one company of her Majesty's 10th, and the Rifle company of the 72d. All night long the enemy con tinued to cannonade them, but luckily without doing much mischief. At daybreak on the 13th some guns were got into position, and a tremendous discharge of round , shot, grape, and shrapnel!, was maintained for three hours—to all appearance, however, without , effect; the enemy were well protected from danger, and ' seemed not to suffer from alarm. In the course of the forenoon a battery was got advanced to within a very short distance of the post, and a heavy fire recommenced, but without better results than that which had preceded. During the whole of the 11th a virtual armistice was maintained on both sides, but the insurgents were now aware of the strength and importance of their position, and of the effect of night attacks upon us, and began to establish a regular battery in the garden. An order was now issued by General Whish directing an attack to be made on them about seven o'clock on the morning of the 12th; the attacking force to consist of a troop of horse artillery, a squadron of cavalry from each of the th ree regiments, twelve companies of European, and two re giments of Native Infantry, above 2,500 in all. About seven in the morning they began to prepare batteries near the building from which they had on the 9th re pulsed us. They were attacked by one European and two native regiments. The Europeans, remembering how their comrades had been foiled, and how they had suffered, fought like furies. They found 400 men in a narrow square, and shot or bayoneted every one of them. A mine had been tblown up by them, an d h un d re d s of . scorched and shattered bodies were found piled over the ground. Sixty of those who had cut down Ensign Lloyd when parleying with them were destroyed by her Ma jesty's 10th—only five of the party escaping. The ar tillery destroyed 100 in one mass. Colonel Pattoun and Quartermaster Taylor, of his Highness's 32d; Major Montizambert, of her Majesty's 10th; Ensign Lloyd, of the Bth Native Infantry; Lieutenant Cubitt, 49th Native Infantry, are said to have fallen. Wounded—Captain Balfour, her Majesty's 32d Foot, slightly; Lieut, King, ditto, slightly; Lientenant Swinburne, ditto, slightly; Lieutenant Birtwhistle, ditto, slightly; Captain M'Gre gor, her Majesty's 10th Foot, slightly; Colonel Franks, ditto, slightly ; Lieutenant Herbert, ditto, ditto ; Major Napier, Engineers, ditto; Lieutenant Lake, ditto, Lieutenant Binney, Horse Artillery, 'ditto; Captain Christopher, Indian Navy, badly; Captain Wroughton, Bth Native Infantry, slightly; Lieutenant Turnbull, ditto, ditto; Ensign Frederick Kennedy, ditto, ditto; Lieu tenant Vibart. 11 th Light Cavalry, ditto.

Colonel Franks commanded one column of five companies of Europeans and a native corps, Colonel Pattoun an other—the whole under Brigadier Hervey. The success, though dearly purchased, was of much importance. It placed all the defensible points on this side the city in our hands, and enabled the battering guns to be advanced within 600 yards of the wall—a position they could not have attained by regular approaches in less than a week. About two o'clock in the ,morning of the 13th a furious attacit was made on Ed/rodeo' camp, fortunately with- 49C • W . • .17:501 N d LODON „WEDNESDAY • _ _______ _ nIDLAND 4.ll'L'''lV‘A 'Y.' " Newby Peek, 0ct,24;18 48 . Siree-On behalf of tt.e Directors of the, Midland Railway,Corn pany, Yam requested to acknowledge'the rdceipt aniAddress.from a number of Shareholders resident in Liverpool and the neighbour hood which you have transmittedlo.them.. • - The Directors would have been content merely to acknoWledge the receipt of the Address, had it not contained an imputation upon them,"which they cannot pass • over i#r silence. Tire - Shatiehdlders commence their address by ascribing the depression of their pro perty to " the want of public confidence in the integrity Of the ma nagement." The Directors, therefore,aleeire that you will immeelf ately furnish them with a list of the specific charges involved in this statement, in order that they may convene a Special Meeting of the Company, and have the opportunity of refuting the accusation thus brought against the integrity of a, body orgentlemen who feel that they stand as high in the estimatfoa of the public at'large as the in dividuals who have appended their nfunes to this calumnious ,docu meat, which comes with a pecullarly.bad grace from a body of Share holders who, prior to the appointtnent of the present Director*, were only receiving a two-and-a-half per cent. dividend. since that time the dividends have been increased Wadi and seven percent. In the meantime I may be. allowed to offer, to you, as one of the Shareholders who have signed the address, a few remarks upon the several suggestions contained in it. • • i.eTou call upon the Directors to close. the capital account. 'No person is more fully aware fhan yourself that the shareholders have had the power of passing a, vote to that effect at' any half-yearly meeting. But supposing the development of a new traffic, producing a revenue of 20,0011. or 30,0001. per annum, should require an out lay of 60,0001., how absurd is would be to say that such outlay ott to be taken out of income. • 2. You call upon the Directors to examine and pay all outstanding accounts ofthe solicitors.;These accounts are now undergoing a atrial examination, and as soon as the .solicitors' ate satisfied to accept the* amount the Directors think due to them e their, bills will be paid. But surely this is a matter which 'must be left to the discretion of the Directors ; had they given way to. the:, pressure of the Pro; prletors when they were urged to settle the demands of the contrac tors, they might have sacrificed a very large sum for the sake of an immediate settlement. They sacceeded in,making great reductions, .and so much wai saved to the Company. "'The claims of ' the con= tractors amounted to 89,8771., ande...,were finally liquidated for, 17,7231. lbs. 7d. Your objection ,to any further Parliamentary ex penses being incurred, without thesanetiorimPthe , Shareholders, is ; it is clear that no Parliamentary expenses of any importance can be incurred vvithout such sanction: ' ' S.

The Directors are called upon to enter into no further contracts. ftranst have escaped your recollection that at the last half-yearly meeting I gave an assurance that the Directors did not intend to engage in any further contracts. 6. You allude to traffic which you do not consider remunerative to the Company. The Directors are entitled to ask you to be more explicit, and to state specifically what traffic is meant. 7. You thisik the number of trains ought to be reduced. This is a question which must be left to the judgment of the Directors ; for nothing can be more difficult than to determine, from time to time, what trains ought to be run. I consider it would he an unwise and impolitic measure to take off the express train, which you suggest should be done. 8. The alteration you propose in the mode of appointing Directors would require a new Act of Parliament. e. Yon ask the Directors to purchase all stores by public contract. have no doubt you are aware that this is generally done, but it not enfrequently happens that the Directors can purchase articles hi the market much below the contract price, and when they can do so they often avail themselves of the opportunity. I have now answered or cotnmented upon every point of the ad dress, except that which relates to the depreciation of the value of shares, with which the Directors feel that they have little or nothing to do. Their duty is to obtain all the traffic they can, and to pay the Shareholders good dividends. The address you have sent is signed by seventy Shareholders, this is a small proportion of the ervire number, which exceeds 8,000. You are a holder of capital stack in the company to the amount of 3501., and you describe yourself in the address as a broker. From your experience in that business, I have no doubt you are well Ithle to inform the public how the old railway stock of this company has become so much depreciated. In my position as Chairman of several railway companies, I have received numerous complaining letters, all, I am hound to say, couched In a courteous and respectful manner; and I have answered them hy assuring the parties of the soundness and stability of the concerns over which I preside. The acknowledgments I have re ceived in reply have been generally satisfactory; many of the parties stating that they were holders of stock in a variety of foreign and other new hues, and that they were compelled to Fell the stock of sit lines to pay for the new. When the supply exceeds the demand, and when a regular combination exists to depress railway property, I believe any course which Directors may pursue will be of little avail. Yet, after all, the amount of stock transferred in the com panies over which I preside has been less than usual, which shows that many of the quotations of sales are merely nominal. I have no fear of not seeing railway property again placed in a better rOSIOCPTI in the market, though not at the extravagant price it has hzetefore arrived at, and then its proper and true value will be maintained in a manner that will he more satis factory to all parties. Consols have been at 47, they are now at St!!, and have been at 100. •If you or your friends can, by any effort, advance them to 92 or 93, I have no doubt you will see a great advance in railway property. The Bank Stock has paid 10 per cent., and is now only paying seven, and the price has fallen con siderably ; but no one ever doubted the integrity of the management of the Bank. The surprise to me is, that in the excitements and commotion which have prevailed, railway traffic has been so well supported. Even the present amount of traffic justifies the anticipa tion that the rate of dividends will not undergo any material diml nation ; and this remark applies to all the lines over which I have the honour to preside. I wish I could call the serious and grave attention of the chairman of the London Stock Exchange to a pub lication which is issued weekly, professing to be under the sanction of that body. lam aware that the statements which appear in that paper are stated not to be published under the authority of the Stock Exchange ; but I cannot close my eyes to the effect that they pro duce on the mind of the public, who naturally consider that they have that sanction. If these statements were correct and true, no person would have a right to complain —but when they are almost in every instance incorrect, and their. general ten dency is to depreciate railway property, it would be well that the Stock Exchange should disavow a publication which is calculated to do so much mischief. I must, in con clusion, request that you will call the Requisitionists together, and that thero may be no delay in sending a list of the charges im pugning the integrity of the Directors, who are anxious to meet and repel the calumnious imputations that have been made against them. Nothing but a sense of duty to the large body of Share holders who have hitherto given their confidence induces the Di rectors to retain their seat at the board; and as soon as that con fidence is withdrawn they will most readily and gladly resign their trust into other hands by whom the affairs of the Company may be more ably conducted, I perhaps night observe, before I conelado my letter, without pledging myself to the statement, but merely giving it as my own individual opinion, that I believe another 51. call upon the 501. Shares, with the arrears of calls now owing, will complete all the works in course of construction, arid the remaining 211, per Share will remain applicable to the liquidation of the debt. The liabilities of the Company are under the consideration of the Directors, in order to enable them to lay a statement before the Proprietors, which it is anticipated will he done within a very early period.

More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its inluence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity Itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOPE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, thi s fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honomable mind? It is the effect of conscience. Tho Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable i Loving and beloved, he entails the inost miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of I natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of analloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION , illistrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs; with practical observa tions ea the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

In the book before us sach a 'monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who aro tempted trust a n d s of his taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

THE WAR IN MOULTAN. We have received from Marscillesriadvices and papers from India in anticipation of Overland Mail of - the 3d of October from Bombay. The dates thus deceived, are from Calcutta to -the 23d of September, Madras to the 25th, and Bombay, to the 3d of October. " Frontier affairs have assumed a much more serious asect. The intelligence "is unsati s factory alike re , spitting the operation's before Moultan and the ge rerai*ate of the Punjaub. Our forces in that direction have suffered a check in consequence of the defection t ot' the auxiliary Seikh troops. Just as the operations of General Whish's Brigade had commenced in ' the most brilliantlmanner, Shere Singh, With the force" of near five thousand men under ,liiS c ommand, went a the Dewan, evidentlyn a pre.- upon' arranged p lot-an event which co mp e lled 'General Whish instantly to change his tactics, to. raise the : siege; and having, made a retro grade movement, to unite his forces in an entrenched , camp at some fifteen miles from the citadel, there to, await in a more favourable position the junction of the reinforcements from•Ferozepore and Sinde. Two engineer officers had since, it appears, fallen into the: hands of the enemy. Moolraj, bar :Shere Singh's; defection, had augmented his • adherents to about 20,000 men,, with the probabilty ot a further acces sion of, nearly• as,-many more. Cfilittur Singh, the [1.'661 leader in the ,llizareh ) wait . atarlpg with about ten thousand men to join the Dewan; and although Ghoolab Singh had snot more positively than heretofore gone over to the conspiracy, two of his regiments, with stores and baggage, had left to join the Ha zare h S e ikhs. At Lahore the features I this frontier rebellion were not less pronounced, although happily, from our excellent measures of defence there, the circumstance occasions no ground for ultimate apprehension as to our hold upon the capital. We find, however, that several other Sirdars of the Durbar had been found to be implicated, and that in consequence . of this fact the Resident, on receipt of the intelligence from Moultan, had at once secured under a guard :the person of Dhuleep Singh as a hostage, to influence those who wavered, as well as to frustrate attempts made by Seikhs in arms to get possession of the Maharaja's person. The Resi dent had also, we are told, laid hands on the famous Koh-i-noor diamond, as a measure of similar pre caution. Troops were being poured into Sinde by sea from Bombay, to occupy the line of the middle Indus, and to march, should their services be required, upon the Punjaub. The Bombay force when united would amount to about 10,000 men. Some of the Madras regiments would reinforce the Bombay stations, at the same time that a general advance was preparing from the Bengal frontier. From the latter direction a well-apportioned force, amounting to about 20,000 men, would march upon Moultan, under General Gilbert. No troops could, it appears, be spared from Lahore, hut it was considered the cavalry regiments still left in Ferozepore would be quite suf ficient to keep opea the line of communication with the camp of General Whish ; in other words, to frus trate any rising between him and the capital. Under these circumstances, the position of the British force in the field, strongly entrenched, with a park of artil lery of 70 guns, and their flank on the river, at some 15 miles from Moultan, may be regarded as secure under any contingency. On the whole, happily, there appears every ground for belief that the preparations announced from all sides of India to retrieve the check we have de scribed are on a scale of magnitude probably com mensurate rather with the extent of past supineness in its exaggerated reaction than the actual degree of danger. Such at least is the opinion of parties who from the first were urgent for the adoption of active measures, and who at present are the least alarmed by the ultimate features the outbreak has assumed or inclined to doubt of a speedy and successful ter mination. Moultan would now be attacked by sepa rate armies from the south and from the north, when, it has been affirmed, mere detachments in the earlier months would have sufficed, but it is added that there now appears every probability that long before the Bombay army shall have reached the seat of war the few regiments that have already arrived without orders from head-quarters—namely, the Rifle Brigade from Sinde, and the European cavalry from Ferozepore, will supply what is wanting to our troops who are in presence of the enemy, and that General Whish, with a body of picked infantry, Eu ropean and native, and some three thousand cavalry (an arm hitherto deficient), which will have reached him, with a park of field and siege artil lery, and under the prestige of recent success, will certainly reap the honours of the campaign, should the temerity of the Dewan, or the precipitancy of his forces tempt them, as is not unlikely, to an at tack. This opinion seems borne out by other de tails which have reached us as to the recent conduct of our troops, who, in the siege operations, stormed the outworks, forestalling the work of regular ap proaches, and up to the hour when breaching distance had thereby been attained —an hour marked by the instant defection of the Seikh Chief —every rencontre, without exception, told the same lesson of superiority in strategy as in conflict that Edwardes and his Pa thans before taught the insurgents under earlier and still more desperate circumstances. The following officers had fallen in the siege ope rations during an attack on an outpost unrivalled for desperate gallantry in the an nalsof the army, na mely, Colonel Pattoun, Ma jor M ontizambert, Q u artermaster Taylor, Lieutena n t Cubitt, ant En sign Lloyd. Ths following casualties by death in the armies of India are reported since the departure of the mail on the 15th of September: — Her Majesty's Troops—Colonel Pattoun and Quarter master Taylor, 32d Foot, and Major Montizambert, 10th Foot, killed in action before Moultan, on the 12th Sept.

Summany.—Our latest news from Mouhail has reached us through Sinde, and extends to the 18th. As our batteries were on the 14th September believed to have been in readiness to batter in breach, Shere Singh, with 4,000 Seikhs, deserted us, and went over to the enemy. The siege was next da y r aised, our guns withdrawn from the trenches, and our troops marched back to an encampment six miles from the town. On the 17th we ma rched to a p os t eighteen v miles in the direction of Bahawulpor , e, leaving most of a month s proision s , w i t h our ammunition, and nearly the material prepared for the siege, behind us. Our last news extended to the 24th of August. At this time all the troops, save some compan ies i of he r Ma jesty's 32d and the train, had arrived n camp. The former joined shortly a fterwards, s, the latter on the 4th of September. On the sth it was intimated that twenty-four hours would be allowed for those to retire who wished to quit the town. On the 6th the mortar batteries began to fire. It was at first pro posed to attempt the town by assault. The guns were first to clear the suburbs, then to advance within 600 yards of the walls : It was suspected that in twenty-four hours a practicable breach would be effected. After the storming party had been told off it was discovered that the suburbs were very strong and well defended, and regular approaches were next determined on. The trenches were begu n t o b e opened on the 7th, and from this till the 9th a suc cession of severe skirmishes ensued, in w hi c h we were successful. On the morning of thi s d ay we were compelled to retire with severe loss from a strong post we had endeavoured to capture. Fur ther skirmishing ensued, and on the morning of the 12th a strong party was directed to capture the stronghold before which we bad formerly been foiled, NADI TO WZAJIIRI.

The intelligence from Moultan given in our last over ' land summary came down to the 24th of August. At this time the columns from Lahore by the Ravee and Chenaub, and from Forozepore by the Sutlej, had joined lose to the, scene of future operations. The battering train was about to proceed from opposite Bahawulpore, where it had landed on the 18th, and remained till the Bth preparing for the march; two companies of her Majesty:A 32d, for which boats could not at first he procured; were on their way down the river. Escorts from the 11th Irregular H0N41.1% 1 49th Native Infantry waited upon both detrchments tiPisrotact their baggage. The 32a had 90 sick en their iirriral in camp, and had lost 18 men on the way. On their arrival they speedily r•cgan to recover, and are now, like the other troops tround Moultan, in the highest health and spirits. The Insurgents continued indefatigable in their exertions, and were every now and then able to seduce a few Seikhs from our side, and to capture considerable numbers of baggage, camels, and bullocks. The Dewan Moolraj tried to corrupt our Sepoys by an offer of a shilling a day of pay to them, with leave of absence once every three years, and a suitable pension ; and a couple of deserters did on one occasion cross over to him, and were seen next day and recognised by their accoutrements. On the 29th, the whole force moved forward a few hundred yards nearer the fort, and en camped in a line. Meanwhile the party engaged in cut ting off the supplies of the water-courses from the Che naub were actively engaged some seventeen miles from Moulton, protected by the steamers in the river, and by 1,000 Seikhs under Malec Singh, who were defended by heavy guns and entrenchments. The river rapidly rose, and twice were bunds of wood, stone, and mud they had thrown up, burst through, when, the waters once more subsiding, everything was gotcomplete. These works were placed under the charge of Malice Singh, with a powerful detachment of Seikhs ; they were de fended by strong entrenchments and heavy guns. The working party w as next di recte d to cut down jungle and brushwood for faseines and gabions, ten boat loads of which were ordered to be sent down for the use of the besiegers. On the Ist of September the General and Staff, with a body of engineer officers, reconnoitred the fort, and Lieutenant Edwardes, with Lieutenant Lake, Colonel Cortlandt, and Emam-ood-deen, with nearly the whole of the original attacking force, were sent round to the opposite side to make a feigned attack, and distract the attention of the enemy. They pro ceeded to take possession of a garden, where a picket of the enemy, which fired on them and then retired, was stationed. The troops now drew up in line. The Dewan hearing the firing, made immediate arrangements to re inforce the outposts, and sent orders to them to maintain their ground as long as possible. Some sharp skirmish ing appears to have ensued, when the Moultanees were driven back at all points, and obliged to seek shelter in a ravine close to the town. Daudpootras were at one time hardly pressed, but, being reinforced, rapidly re covered their ground. The artillery force for a short time occupied the position they had forced, when, as evening drew on, the object of their mission having been accomplished, they returned to camp unmo l. sted. The reconnoitring officers consisted of Gene ral Whish, commanding the forces; Colonel Franks, her Majesty's 10th; Colonel Markham, her Majesty's 32d; Major Napier, Engineers, with a number of ama teurs. The escorting party was a strong one; it con sisted of her Majesty's 10th, two companies of her Ma jesty's 32d, wings of the Bth and 52d Native Infantry, six guns, a troop of the 11th cavalry, and 18 troopers of l Wheeler's Horse. They made th e ir wa y t o t h e tem pl e j where Mr. Agnew and Lieutenant Anderson were mur dered, at about 800 yards from the ramparts. So ef fectually had the garrison been occupied by the skirmish on the opposite side, that it was some time before the reconnoitring party were observed. So soon as they were perceived a number of guns were brought to bear on them; the practice was beautiful, and the shot fell close beside them, One struck the temple, another struck the wall under the feet of Dr. Thorp, of the Irre gular Horse, and passed just over the head of the Ge neral; another fell amongst the Sappers, but luckily did no harm. Major Napier ascended the minaret, and had a fine view of all the works and of the ground immediately around. The fire becoming disagreeable, the party returned by a detour some 1,100 yards from the ramparts, the guns firing on them all the Way, the distance being such that the shot nearly all fell short. It was now apparent that the place was much stronger than has been imagined. The fort is about a mile, the city two miles in circum ference. The former is surrounded by a ditch twenty feet wide at bottom, and tile defences are regularly con structed. The wall of the town joins that of the fort. The approaches are difficult in consequence of large trees, the enclosed gardens, andmouofndthse groves formed latter old brick positions s be fu re r t a h b e o g u n n n d s . 0. f T th h e defenders, and will probably req uire to e furnished brick-kilns, excellent ilns'which tail.

The besieging for ce, as ma y be remembered, now stood pretty nearly as follows :—Her Kijesty's 10th from Lahore, and 32d from Ferozepore, or in all about Irregularin a H ll orse.

It wag hoped that breaching might be begun alniost - at once,. and, considering that we were within almost point blank distance of the walls, it was supposed that in 30 or 40 hours at the outside the assault might be commenced— when a sudden act of treachery on the part of our allies blighted all our prospects, and eompelled us to raise the siege and convert the besieging army into one ef obser vation. It has been repeatedly stated that here Singh, a Seikh officer and nobleman, of distinction, was dia., patched early in May :by the , D'urbar, with a force of 3,000 men, with a view,* was - raid, of.keeping the Moat- raj in check.

With _so. formidable a defection from ,stir strength—so large .an accession to that-off the enemy—it became at once-oh, vious that it would be imprudent for the present to continue the siege..

General Whishi_therefore, had his camp removed to a.safe dis-'*•/ tance from their _batteries, while the guns and all. the working paities were called in, and our force was trans-1Q;; 7 ) torined into an army. of.obiervation occupying a forti fied camp.' Our rear was .annoyed but not much da. (Raged by"the enemy. We had been bet a short time -, in our new position when it became .evident that we: hould find ourselves .much Momagreeably situated a considerable way further from the town ; we accord -gn2ly once more decamped, and on the 17,11 took. up:a post 18 miles from Moultan in the direction. of _Baha wulpore. Particniarsof.its save suent lame nut hitherto reached us further than th - ii=tlat the material pre pared for the siege, a large quantity of ammunition, and a month's supply of biscuits, had fallen into the hands of ,he enemy. Animadversions on the arrangements of General Whish are very severe ; wo are said to have permitted the enemy to strengthen himself at every • point most strongly and elaborately in the suburbs, and then to have proceeded as if there were no obstruction in our way. A considerable portion. of the troops which went oVer with Shere Singh seem disposed to quit Moul tan with as little delay as possible. The moment the tidings of this unfortunate affair reached bead-quarters, preparations began to be made to reinforce the besieging army. The Bombay Govern , tn , .nt was written to by express, and orders immediately is iced far assembling, an army of 9,000 'men at R oree u ider command of Brigadier Dundas, of her Majesty's Kates. Of these, 2,000 are Europeans. It is not likely they will be required to do more than perform the duties of an army of reserve or observation—perhaps they may afterwards be called on to occupy the city after the siege is over should the Bengal troops be needed else where. They can hardly reach Moultan before Christ mas, and if the town is not ours early in November, it will be strange indeed. At Ferozepore there are about 4,000, at Lahore about 8,000 men, and these will be rein forced immediately to 7.000 and 12,000 respectively. The siege train from Sukkur is said to have been ordered up; this, in addition to 34 pieces of beavy, and as nia7 ,., of light, ordnance, now in camp, will make the artiller arm of the force very powerful indeed. A force of 10,000 men, of which details have not as yet been sup plied, is meanwhile being formed on the Lahore side under the command of General Gilbert ; and this will, without. loss of time, move on Moultan, so that the army before the place will :shortly be as strong as that which 'fought at Moodkce, or that with which in April, 1842, GreuerakPollock forced his way to Carlini!. The Delhi Gazette states, that the army to be formed at Ferozepore will consist of five European regiments (5,000), with 16 turps of Native Infantry—say 750 each (12,000), and six regiments of cavalry (2,000), nine troops of horse artillery, and hve field batteries (1,500) — in all, above 29,000 teen.* Whether this includes the force now at Ferozepore, or whether the whole is meant for service, does not appear. It certainly is a strange display of tactics to send 7,000 men to take a town which, on the desertion of a detachment whose faithful ness from the first was doubtful, requires a reinforce ment of 25,000. Our latest news from Moultan is brought by steamer and comes down to the 18th. This is two days later than that received by the Delhi route, the intercourse in this direction appearing for the pre eht to be interrupted. At present the accounts which reach us from many quarters bear the impress of such excessive exaggeration that we are compelled very care fully to sift them—omitting all that seem improbable or transparently untrue. We think the correctness of the greater part of what has been stated may be relied upon. We must caution the European reader against believing much more than has been set down. The statetaents of the alarmists may prove correct—we have hitherto for the most part found them to be the contrary, and at pre sent most assuredly we entirely disbelieve them. Such are the bitter fruits of vacillation and hesitation; while we were debating upon the size of the army to be !ent and the most fitting time for sending them—calcu lating how much cost or inconvenience might be incurred, or probable sickness occasioned by a march one month compared with that by another we were tempting traitors into the field and holding out a bribe for insur rection. A strong brigade half the size of our army of observation under General Whish would, if dispatched in May,.have settled the matter in a week's time. By delay and vacillation, a chance explosion of anger aiM haphazard attack, accompanied by murder, where th e deed was hardly ane when the actors were horror-struck at their position, has waxed into a widely-ramified and deep-rooted treason—fast rooted to the spot from whence it sprung, and extending itself through every part of the Seikh dominions. The slaughter that may nosz be looked for as the denouement is tremendous. We hats to contend with brave, highly disciplined, and perfectly desperate men, fighting under the joint influence of religious zeal and the knowledge that their lives are for ' liked. We can under such circumstances neither expect nor exhibit mercy—on both sides it must be war to the knife—and after the victory, if ours, our artillery must complete the carnage which otherwise would devolve on the hands of the executioner. THE PUNJAUB. • Having given particulars of Moultan affairs under a separate head, Seikh matters elsewhere are so mixed ap together that one division will suffice for them. The state of the Punjaub throughout is at present most un satisfactory—though to us it appears that the alarms re garding it are greatly in excess of the occasion. Com mencing with the extreme north-west corner of the country, we take up the notice of affairs in the Peshawur and Hazareh provinces. In the latter of these a mutiny occurred some weeks - back amongst the Seikh artil lery, by whom their commanding officer was wounded. For a time this was thought lightly of, when it :turned out that the malcontents were headed by Chuttur Singh, a Seikh nobleman of distinction and governor of the province, and as it was feared coun tenanced or encouraged by Ghoolab Singh, the Maha raja of Jamoo and Cashmere. The British officers in the province at the time of the outbreak were Captain Ab bott, Mr. Ingram, and Lieutenant Robinson. The force at Peshawur consisted of six regiments of infantry, four of cavalry, and 36 guns—about 6,000 men in all—all in the service of the Durbar. About a third of these are Mahomedans, and well affected to the British; th loyalty of the other two-thirds is somewhat question able. When the Hazareh troubles began, the fidelity of the garrison at Attok seemed somewhat dubious, and detachment of 450 trustworthy Mahomedans was sent reinforce it.
