In the- present eventful state of Ireland, the Committee of the Irish Society of London would call the attention of the public to .the beneficial results of the Society's labours in that country. and would earnestly appeal for increased support, to carry oat the objeCts..whieh it has in view ; and while • they by no means undervalue 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, un less, at the same time, measures are taken to elevate the moral character of the Irish peasantry by means of religious instruction. The Irish Society labours in the native districts, where upwards of 1,000,000 of the population speak the Irish language. There are now 800 teachers connected with it, who instruct the native Trish in reading the Word of God. Since the commencement 300,000 individuals, chiefly adults, have thus been taught to read tke Scrip'oares, many of whom embraced the Protestant faith: o',:e hundred and eight Scripture readers are employed, who read. the Irish Bibles in the cabins, or to gretips'of the peasantry' at work n their fields, or by the road side. Seven Irish-sneaking clergymen are in connexion with the Society 'who read the Liturgy, and preach the Gospel in the:native language. Ten congregations of converts have been raised up, or are now ministered to through the instrumentality of the Society. Two of these are in the county of Galway, two in the county of Cork, and six in Kerry. Many Roman Catholics, not included in those distinct congrega tions, have been brought, through 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 L---• I preached on Wednesday evening. The church was filled, the Roman Catholics standing up 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 occasionally 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 were converts, 500 Romanists, and 500 old Protestants. One poor man, who was not hearing me, heard so much about the setmon from others, that he said he would ' come to hear the next 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 sir? Alas ! that we hav'nt an Irish ministry." Such are some of the results of the Soeiety's proceedings ; bnt the committee would allude to one 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 oar Queen, and abstain from all connexion with the treasonable Practices and illegal associations which arc so hostile to the peace and prosperity of the kingdom. The Committee have made diligent inquiries upon this subject, 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 be 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 taller of the So-slaty, and now employed in teaching their country - zaon to read the Word of God. An indvidnal who lately visited a congregation 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 mere orderly in their conduct, and deeply attentive to the Word of God. I was especially pleased with the demeanour of two indivi duals, ate 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 be 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 somethingniust be done for Ireland; and without limiting the measures which may be devised by the benevolent, the Committee of the Irish Society of London woeld respectfully suggest that religious instruction should have a Dronaluent 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 those native districts and localities where the inhabitants have been instructed by the teachers of the Irish Society, in which crime, sedi tion, and animosity have given place to peace, to loyalty, and goodwill. 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 return unto me void; but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it ' th an 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 Man for the Lord's sake." It will inculcate industrious habits—' Delther should he eat." It will produce a respect for life and property, and thus give a oPPortunity for the introduction of capital, and the employment of e People at home, enabling them to support themselves, instead of being a burden to others. It will be the '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, t hrough, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.—John Hi. 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 Committee 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.

Increase, how is it to be conducted without Increased accommoda tion? If the Shareholders think the Directors incompetent to decide noon matters of this kind, they had much better remove them, and appoint others in whom they have greater confidence. b. The Directors are caned upon to enter into no further contracts. " " . It taint 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. Tou 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 think 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 ran. I consider it would be 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. 9. You ask the Directors to purchase all stores by public contract. I have no doubt you are aware that this is generally done, but it not infrequently infrequently happens that the Directors can purchase articles in 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 commented 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 entire number, which exceeds B,eeo. You are a holder of capital stock 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 able 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 bound to say, crouched in a courteous and respectful manner ; and I have answered them by 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 lines, and that they were compelled to sell the stock of )1d 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 bo 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 eosition in the market, though not at the extravagant price it has heretofore arrived at, and then its proper and true value will be maintained in a manner that will be more sells _ factory to all parties. Consols have been at 47, they are sow at 84%, and have been at 100. If you or your friends can, by any effort, advance them to 92 or 93, I have ns 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 col:emotions 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 dimi nution ; 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, professin' to be under the sanction of that body. I am aware that the statements which appear in that paper are stated not to be published under the authority of the Stock Exchange ; lut I cannot close my eyes to the effect that they pro duce an 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 arc 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 there may be no delay in seeding a list of the charges ha 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 scat at the Itoard ; and as soon as that con• fidenee is withdrawn they will most readily and gladly resign their trust into other hands by wham the affairs of the Company may be more ably conducted, I perhaps might observe, before I conclude 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, and the remaining 251, per Share . _ . will remain applicable to the liquidation of the debt. The 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 be done within a very early period.

The rarent, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which, for want of careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young per sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con sumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected.

More exalted than mere passion, it sears 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 influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, 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, this 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 honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The 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 deplerablo Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and aeon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION. Illaitrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa tiels ea the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

La'Mert on the Infirmities of - Youth and Maturity.—" There are scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before as sech 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 arid 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, Lyon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. I father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un 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 Director's 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 in silence. The Shareholders commelllitheir 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, desire that you will immedi ately furnish them with a list of the specific charges involved in this statement, in order Ihat 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 of gentlemen who feel that they stand as high in ih is estimation of the public at large as the in dividuals who have appended their names to this . calumnious docu ment, which comes with .'peculiarly bad grace from a body of Share holders who, prior to the appointment of the present Directors, were only receiving a two-and-a-half per cent: dividend. Since that time the dividends have been increased to six and seven per cent. • 'ln 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. You call upon the Directors to close the capital account. No person is more fully aware than 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 20,0001. or 30,0001. per annum, should require an sat lay of 60,0001., how absurd it would be to say that such outlay ought to be taken oat of income. 2. You call upon the Directors to examine and pay all outstanding accounts of.the solicitors.,These accounts are now undergoing a strict examination, and as soon as the solicitors are satisfied to accept the amount the Directors think due to them, 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 prietors when they were urged to settle the demands of the contrac tors, they mighthave sacrificed a very large sum for the sake of an immediate settlement. They succeeded in making great reductions, and so much was saved to the Company. The claims of the con tractors amounted to 89,t771., and were finally liquidated for 17,7231. lis. 7d. Tour objection to any further Parliamentary ex penses being incurred, without the sanction of the Shareholders, is futile ; it 4s clear that no Parliamenttay expeithes of any importance can be fncarred without such sanction. S. You call for a reduction of the salaries of our engineers. We have only one engineer employed upon the lines, and, considering the abilities of that gentleman, the Directors do not think him over paid.. 4. Yea reqaire that stations shall not be enlarged.

THE WAR IN MOULTAN• We have received froth Marseilles advices and papers from India in anticipation of the Overland Mail of the 3d of OciOber trom Bombay. The dates thus received 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 aspect. The intelligence is unsatisfactory alike re specting the operations befpre Moultan and the ge reral state of the Punjaub. Our forces in that direction have suffered a check in consequence of the defection of the auxiliary Seikh troops. Just as the operations of General , Whish's Brigade had commenced in the most brilliant manner, Shere Singh, with the force of nearly five thousand men under his command, went over to the Dewan, evidently upon a pre arranged plot--an event which compelled 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 fiJoir.FAiepore and Sinde. Two engineer officers had since, it appears, fallen into the hands of the enemy. Moolraj, by Shere Singh's defection, had augmented his adherents to about 20,000 men, with the probabilty of a further acces sion of nearly as many more. Chuttur Singh, the rebel leader in the Hazareh, was marching with about ten thousand men to join the Dewan; and although Ghoolab Singh had /not more positively than heretofore gone over to the conspiracy, two of his regiments, with stores and baggage, had left to join the Hazareh Seikhs. At Lahore the features of 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 i 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 Dbuleep 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 mar c h, s h ou ld th e i r services b e 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, but it was considered the cavalry regiments still loft in Ferozepore would be quite suf ficient to keep open 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 annals of the army, na mely, Colonel Pattoun, Major Montizambert, Quartermaster Taylor, Lieutenant Cubitt, and En sign Lloyd. The 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, 3 2 d Foot,an d Major Montizamb er t, 10th before M Sept.

Swim ARY.—Our latest n ews from M ou lt an 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, Share Singh, with 4,000 Seikhs, deserted us, and went over to the enemy. The siege was next day raised, our guns withdrawn from the trenches, and our tr oops marched back to an encampment six miles from the town. On the 17th we marched to a post eighteen miles in the direction of Bahawulpore, leavin g most of our ammunition, and nearly a month's provisions, w ith 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 companies of her Ma jesty's 32d and the train, had arrived in camp. Th e former joined shortly afterwards, the latte r on the 4th of September. On the sth it was intimated that twenty-four hours would be allowed for those t o 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. Th e 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 begun t o b e opened on the 7th, and from this till the 9th a suc cession of severe skirmishes ensued, in which we were successful. On the morning of this day w e 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 cap ture the stronghold before which we had formerly been foiled, and which ever since bad been annoying us. We succeeded, but not without heavy loss. Up to this time five officers had been killed and 21 wounded, and nearly 200 men had been killed and wounded. A furious attack was made on Ed wardes' camp on the 13th ; and on the 14th we carried a strong outwork which enabled us to bring our guns within easy breaching distance. At this time what we have no ticed at the beginning threw all our plans into con fusion. The Durbar leader, Shere Singh, with 4,000 Seikhs, deserted us, when it became plain the attack could no longer be continued with any hope of-suc cess. The -following are the names of those who have been killed or wounded : KILLED.--Lieut. Colonel R. T. R. Pattoun, and • Quartermaster G. Taylor, her Majesty's *2nd Foot ; Major D. S. Monfizambert, 10th Foot; Ensign C. 'O. Lloyd, Bth 'Native Infantry ; and Lieutenant T. Cubitt, 49th Native Inf an t r y. WOUNDED.—Lieutenant!Colonel T. H. Franks, C. 8., Captaiu M.

Irwin, 49th Native Infantry. Expresses were immedi a t e ly sen t o ff requesting re inforcements. An army of above 20,000 was ordered to be immediately formed at Ferozepore, of which we presume about one-half will proceed to Moultan. Nine thousand Bombay troops were directed to rendezvous. at Roree, on the Indus; as it will be Christmas before they can reach Mooltan, they are not likely to see much of actual war. General Achmuty is ordered to take command of the troops in Sinde ; Brigadier Dundas heads the Roree army; General Gilbert tha at Lahore. The Punjaub generally is in a disturbed and unsatisfactory state. Four chiefs at Lahore have been placed in arrest; our troops have occupied Govindghur as a measure of precaution. A detach- meat of 4,000 men has marched from Jullundhur to ' quell the tumults in the Hazareh country. The Noorpore insurrection has been put down. Captain Abbott and Lieutenants Nicolson and Robinson are endeavouring to keep Chuttur Sing and the insurgents near Attok in check. Attok itself is safe. The Peshawur force are moving, but on the whole it is hoped they may not break out into open rebellion. We could scarcely hope for three cold seasons to end without a war. The Governor-General will shortly be on his way to the North-west provinces; the Commander in7Chief is - about to proceed to Ferozepore almost directly. Colonel Low, formerly Resident at Condi), has been appointed agent for the Governor-General in Rajpootana, in succession to Colonel Sutherland. The Union Bank schedule of assessment has been publiihed • it amounts to upwards of 520,0001., the individual assessments varying from 5001. to 30,0001. It is not expected that it will be agreed to by the shareholders. An offer of 25 per cent. made by the bank to its creditors as payment in full of all de mands, has, it is said, been accepted by nearly all. The ship Belleisle, from Glasgow, was wrecked in the Hooghly, on the Reef Head, on the 12th of September; and the ship John Wood, outward hound for Mauritius, off Point Palmyras, on the Bth. The Governor and _Commander-in-Chief of Bombay are still at Poonab, but on the point of returning to the Presidency. The rains seem now entirely over. The crops are fine in most parts of the country. Maiwa is said to be threatened with scarcity. MO ULTAN. The intelligence from Moultan given in our last over mid summary came down to the 24th of August. At his time the columns from Lahore by the Raven and Chenaub, and from Forozepore by the Sutlej, had joined close to the scene of future operations. The battering 'rain was about to proceed from opposite Bahawulpere, where it had landed on the 18th, and remained till the 28th preparing for the march; two companies of her gajesty's 32d, for which boats - could not at first be procured, were on their way down the river. Escorts rom the 11th Irregular Horse and 49th Nativo Infantry waited upon both detachments to protect their baggage. The 32d had 90 sick on their arrival in camp, and had lost 18 men on the way. On their arrival they speedily began to recover, and aro now, like the other troops around 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 Moultan, protected by the steamers in the river, and by 1,000 Seikhs under Malice Singh, who were defended by heavy guns and entrenchments. Tee river rapidly rose, and twice were bunds of wool, 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 work irg party was next di recte d to cut down jungle and brushwood for fascines 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 Etnam-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 se e k sh e lt er i n a ravine cl ose 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 lested. 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 Wheeler's Horse. They made their way to the temple 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 g o u f la t r h l e y con structed.for t feet wide atTbhoettowall and th th e e to d w ef n en jo e i s ns ar t e ha r t e The approaches are difficult in consequence ouenmceofnds formed thegroves of large trees, the enclosed gardens, and by old brick-kilns, which everywhere abound. The latter furnished excellent positions for t he gnus of the defenders, and will probably require to be taken in de tail. The number of watercourses cutting the country in all directions was incredible—scarcely could a rider stir without falling in with some of them, indicating the extreme care bestowed on cultivation and the great capa bilities of the country. It was free of marsh, and m ost l y well adapted for encamping ground. At this date head quarters were about two miles from the east corner of the fortress; Edwardes, Lake, and the Bahawulpore troops, about three-quarters of a mile south-east of the town, and the Seikhs under Shere Singh immediately to t h e west. The besieging force, as may be remembered, now stood pretty nearly as follows :—Her Majesty's 10th from Lahore, and 32d from Ferozepore, or in all about 2,000*; the Bth, 49th, 51st, 52d, and 72d Native In fantry, 3,700 Native Infantry-5,700 in all; the 11th Light Cavalry, and 7th and 11th Irregular gorse. The artillery portion of the force consisted of the sige train of 34 guns, two troops of horse and a company of foot artillery, with sappers and miners, and a full engineer corps—the whole British portion amounting- nearly to * The royal regiments in India are generally kept un at about 1,100 strong. We have assumed her Ma ji,sty's luth and 32d at nearly 1,000 bayonets each. The Native Infantry regiments at present are about 750; and on this we have grounded our estimate. 7,000 men. The strength of the force near Moultan, before the arrival of that under General Whish, seems to have stood as follows—bat here we are far from being assured of the accuracy of our facts : the troops of the Bahawul Khan are estimated at 6,000 or 7,000; those accompanying Colonel Cortlandt and Captain Edwardes from the Derajat at from 4,000 ter s.ooo—probably 12.009 in all, with twenty guns. though sonic e.itimates bring them up to 10,000 before 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 men, with 30 guns. Besides these, Shore Singh, the Durbar leader, sent out in May from Lahore, had 3,000 men under his command; so that the total number, regular and irregular, can scarcely fall emelt short of 32.000, with some 75 pieces ordnance of one sort or another at their disposal. If' we are uncertain of the strength of our own army, we are wholly in the dark as to that of the enemy; latest accounts reckon it at from 7,000 to 12,000, with 52 guns. From 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 both he and we are under the conviction that the friends of his cause through out the Punjaub are numerous and powerful. On the morning of the 4th the siege train arrived and took up its `position i n th e open space reserved for it. It consisted of 34 pieces of heavy ordnance. It was accompanied,by an escort of the 11th Irregular Horse and 49th Native Infantry. Two hundred and eighty bullock carts and 3,500 camels were required to carry their stores, and such-;s 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 prematurely, 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 now made and distributed about the town, intimating that for the next twenty-four hours 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 he 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 lire on our pickets. So soon as 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 elms 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 shots 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 .Einropeans taking the place overnight of a cor responding number of eiepoys kept at work throughout the day. On the morning of the Bth the 52d Native In fantry made an attack upon another outpost ; they filed 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 carps 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, hut 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 hero 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. Su 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 now 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 shrapuell, was maintained 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 11 th a virtual armistice was maintained on both sides, but the insurgent s were now aware of the strength and importance of th e i r pos i t i on, and of the effect of night attacks upon u s , an d b egan to es tablish a regular battery in the garden . A n or d er was now issued by General Whish directing an attack to be made on them about seven o'clock on t h e morning of the 12th; the attacking force to consist of a troop of horse i re pulsed About a rtillery, a squadron of cavalry f rom eac h of the three r egiments, twelve compani es o f E uropean, and two re giments which vth enall.th e 9th batteries of Nativeh begano e 2,500 y to had prepareon Infantry, above n se e v a e r n t in e the building morning from they w us.

Colonel Pattoun and Quartermaster Taylor, o f hi s Hi g h ness ' 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.

Major- General Whish had a horse shot under him. A troop of Horse Artillery, a squadron of the 11th Cavalry, the 7th and 11th Irregular Horse, five companies of her Majesty's 10th, with as many of her Majesty's 32d, the Bth and 49th Native Infantry, were the troops engaged. 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 is the morning of the 13th a furious attack was wade ou Adwardca' camp, fatungely with- out effect—On-tirtnith the British troops carried the Humrnund Ghurree or outwork, having previously oc.. ' cupied a position close beside it. Front this nest' pest the batteries were supposed likely to be able to fire into the fort and town without impediment, and ever) thing now seemed drawing to an auspicious close. IL was hoped that breaching might be begun almost 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 compelled us to raise this siege and convert the besieging army into one of obser vation. It has been repeatedly stated that Shere Singh, a Seikh officer and nobleman of distinction, was dis patched early in May by the Durbar, with a force of 3,000 men, with a view, it was said, of keeping the Monl raj in check. We know little of his proceedin g until we find him in company with Colonel Courtlandt and Lieut. Edwardes before Moulton. It does not appear that he took any active share in military operations, and his fide lity was said to be held more than questionable. Early in July his father, Chuttur Singh, Governor in the Ha zareh province at the other extremity of the P un j au b , headed an insurrection still in progress, and said to have been promoted with a view of taking advantage of the absence of our troops from Lahore. About seven o'clock on the morning of the 14th information was brought to Lieutenant Edwardes that the Raja Shtre Singh had gone over to the enemy, taking with him above 5,000 Seikhs with 12 guns and howitzers, and 80 of the lighter pieces called zumboorucks. The movement appeared t o have taken both parties equally by surprise; latterly we had in some measure ceased to suspect; and so dubi - is was the Dewan of the trustworthiness of his uew allies that he for a time assigned them quarters beyond the walls, but under the batteries of the town. With so formidable a defection from our strength—so large an accession to that of the enemy—it became at once ob vious that it would be imprudent for the present to continue the siege. We had already seen with what desperation our opponents were determined to resist us; and with 5,000 added to their num bers—men belonging to the old Seikh army, and who knew that now they fought with halters round their neck and could not even look for quarter = it was vain to proceed until reinforcements , arrived. General Whish, therefore, had his camp removed to a safe dis tance from their batteries, while the guns and all the ''' working parties were called in,ratid our foree was trans formed into an army of observation occupying a forti fied camp. Our rear was annoyed but not much da maged by the enemy. We had been but a short-time in our new position when it became evident that we should find ourselves much more agreeably situated a considerable way further from the town ; we accord ingly once more decamped, and on the 17th took up a post 18 miles from Moultan in the direction of Baha wulpore. Particulars of its movement have not hitherto reached us further than this—that 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 the enemy. Animadversions on the arrangements of General Whish are very severe ; we 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 troopszjaicb. went over with Shere Singh seenidisposed to gait Mal 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 ment was written to by express, and orders immediately issued far assembling an army of 9,000 men at Roree under command of Brigadier Dundas, of her Majesty'. Rifles. 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 Sakkur is said to have been order up; this, in addition to 34 pieces of heavy, and as matir of light, ordnance, now in camp, will make the artillery 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, more on Moultan, so that the 1 army before the place will :sho r tly b e as strong as that 1 which fought at Moodkee, or that with which in April, 1842, General Pollock forced his way to Caubul. The Delhi Gazette states, that the army to be formed at Ferozepore will consist of five European regiments (5,000), with 16 corps of Native Infantry —say 750 each (12,000), and six regiments of cavalry (2,000), nine troops of horse artillery, and five field batteries (1,500) — in all, above 29,000 men.* 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 sent 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 csre fully to sift them—omitting all that seem improbal4* 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 statements 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 hesitations while we were debating upon the size of the army to be sent 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 insure 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 and haphazard attack, accompanied by murder, where the deed was hardly done 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 now be looked for as the denouement is tremendous. We have to contend with brave, highly disciplined, and perfectly desperate men, fighting under the joint influence of religious seal and the knowledge that their lives are for feited. 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 Moult= affairs under a separate head, Seikh matters elsewhere are so mixed up 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 bea ded 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; the 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. It now contains 1,000 Affghans, who se * Movements ordered and contemplated on and to t north-west frontier : CORPS FROM TO Ist troop 2d Brigade Horse Artillery Meerut Frontier. sth „ Ist ft ff Meerut Muttra. 4th :„ 2d Muttra Ferozepore.
