An experimental trip took place down the river on Saturday for the purpose of testing the, newly-Launched vessel the Queen of the South, belonging to this com pany. She ia - tt'noble ship, well built and well provided, and the guests on ,the 7 - oocasion occupied.a considerable portion of their time. in examining her lines,.in scruti nizing her:Machinery, and in exploring her interior fit tingsfor passengers. Some of her visitors objected that she wall-sided, ethers criticised her unusually lofty bul warks amidships, but all confessed- that she - was a noble specimen of naval architecture, well calculated to excite the utmost confidence, and in accomnodetion for passen gers and in her engine arrangemeuts especially worthy of commendation. The prevision for the comfort of passengers is especially excellent, everything being, per fectly plain but substantially good, and ventilation being carried oat with a degree of success almost unprece dented:: At to the engines, it might be considered suffi buynp the unprecedented degree d c ient to say that they were manufactured by 111andslayeand that they combine in an degree economy of space with efficiency of action; the most perfect form of4narine action, that which in sine- - plicity moat nearly approaches to direct action, has been deeelop - ed' Myths screw propeller, and the fact is at once a valttable acquisition to mechanical science and a silent testimony to tho importance of that new field of enter prise upon which the General Screw Steam Company h av e entered: Two or three points with reference to the machinery of the , Queen of the South may be worth mentioning. In the first place, it occupies only one-third of the space of Piddle engines. Again, a new 'construction of airpump ; has been secured which pos aesses many advantages. Then tho bilge pump has been *so arranged that an attack of pirates, for example, may be repelled with scalding water from the boilers. Lastly, with reference to the boilers themselies, every means for economising there has been provided; and in the 'close c-xaminition of tlietn a_safer and more legitimate . pride may be experienced than in the United States, !where, during the exalting moments of .a . race, the captain often shows his sense of. pereonal security 'by siting an the with watertight compartments,heeen ofth by theSouthis builteminent firon; w builders the -. Messrs. Mare. She M 93. sures 210 feet from stem to stern, 39 feet beam, '25 feet in'deptli of hold. She is of I,Bso*tons burden, 'and is furnished with engines of 300-horse power. The screw works sixty revolutions a minute, and the blades of it are so arranged es to be thapwn on a lino with the keel, and not to impede the sailing of the ship. There is accommodation for 13U passengers, to whose comfort the company appear to have contributed most : liberally. Since 1846, when the General Screw Com pany was established, it has been gradually but surely increasing in consequence and power. It now possesses a splendid fleattif sixteen ships, comprising 18,000 tons; it has a reserved fund of 12,0001., and pays annual elivi dende.of from_ ;5 to 8 per cent.

OVERLAND MAIL INDIA AND CHINA. We have received .by our semi-monthly dispatch from Marseilles out letters in anticipation of the overland mail which left Bombay on the 17th ult. Oar'coireepondent's letter of that date is as follows : " The first/shiplead of the force destined for the inva sion of Burmah arrived cif , the Rangoon river on the g morning of the 31st el March, and the remaining steambrs and troops from Benal - and Madras were hourly expected., The camp a i gn was to open fordally on tha sth of April,' and it was expected that Rangoon would be attacked about th e 10 t h. " The Burmese preparatio ns f or war are d escr ibed as being on a much more extended seals than in 1823; the people pretend to be very anxious for a trial of strength, and evidently attribute Lerd Dalhousie's anxiety for peace and our delay in commencing operations to , timidity. * When Colonel Bog le, the Commissioner at Moulmein, in delivering a copy o f t h e , Governor-Gene rare ultimatum to the Burmes e C omm i ss i oners o f Marta bau, assured them that though p repare d f or w ar, Lord Dalhousie was most anxious for peace, and expatiated on the calamities which a war would bring on Bermes; they:replied, that if the English were prepared for war, so were they; and as to what had, been said regarding consequences, it was notorious throughout ,all Asia that the English were the greatest biaggarts 11 th e world. They have since sent word to Colon e l Bol e that if he does not attack them on the Ist of Ap t i e (the day at 1 which the period for negotiation expired), they would cross the river and ittlf4al'is"VP, *Go of . Rah- `eislies nt 'ii.7_,lnes .e. ,,e • e C-'' ii re l os e et, entreating that he will come up with his fOrce to-Ran goon and fight it out without any more delay, as they are quite tired of seeing his ships lying at anchor outside doing nothing. " Admiral Austin, with the Hastings, 72, and her Majesty's steamer Rattler, were to join the force off Rangoon by the 3d or 4th of April. Tho lion. East India Company's steam-frigate Semiramis was expected (from China) about the same time, and the Nurbudda and Mahanuddy had been ordered from the floogbly and Akyab for river service. When all these have joined the naval force in the Rangoon waters will consist (ex clusive of transports) of a line-of-battle:ship, a 42-gun frigate, and brig of war, with 17 steamers, mostly vessels of van also. "Next mail will without doubt take home tidings of the fall of Rangoon and Martaban, bat there is much difference of opinion as to what farther progress can be made before the setting-in of the monsoon at the begin ning of Msy. The catneaign has commenced nearly a month later than the Glivernor-General originally de signed. and it is now-evidently too late in the season, and cur delays have given the Burmese too much time for i organizing resistance, to allow of operations sufficiently extended and decisive to terminate the war taking place before the monsoon. Tho present force is, therefore, only a pioneer one, and all it can do is to push on as fast as possible, and to establish its monsoon quarters as far up the river as is compatible with the maintenance of its communications, until the return of the campaign ing season and the arrival of reinforcements. • " The experience of the last war proved 'that the cli mate of Rangoon will not admit of troops being quar tered there with impunity during the rainy season, bat it was also found that as the river was ascended the ma laria of the lower country gradually ceased. It i s , therefore, thought probable that the monsoon quarters of General Godwin's force will be fixed either at Done bew or at Prome ; the former, the site of Sir Wil loughby Cotton's repulse on the Bth of March, 1824, is About 100 miles'above Rangoon ; and the latter, Sir A. Campbell's monsoon quarters in the second year of the last Burmese war, and reckoned the key to Ava, is about double that distance. " The troops employed in the last Burmese war amounted to about 12,000 men. General Godwin has as yet only about half that number, and it is doubted whether, after making- provision for the safety of his communications', his disposable force will be sufficent to allow of his maintaing himself during the rains and until the arrival of reinforcements in so advanced a position as Prome. But it is remarked, on the other hand, that the force with which Sir A. Campbell actually advanced at Ava did not exceed that under General Godwin's orders; the other troops engaged in the last war being employed in maintaining Sir A. Campbell's communications, and in other duties, which the naval force at present avail able is of itself per!ectly competent to perform. Our steam force in the last Burmese war consisted only of the little Diana; on the present occasion we shall have 17 steamers, and the depth of the Irrawady is such 93 to admit of the largest steam- frigate ascending considerably above Protne. '• It appears to be the general opinion in India that the moral effect of the defear6f the Burmese in the last war would have been infinitely greater and more last ing had Sir A. Campbell occupied their capital before making peace, instead of turning back when within four marches of it, and the Indian Government is strongly urged not to commit a similar mistake on the present occasion. " The present war may be more or less protrac t e d, but the result is certain; we shall compel the Burmese to sue for peace, and we shall th en demand t h e e xpenses of the war; they will be unabl e to ' pay us in mone y, and we shall pay ourselves by annexin g the delta of the Ir remedy, with more or less of the back country, accord ing to circumstances.

(From the Overland Bombay Times of April 17.) SUMMARY. We men'ioned in our last the Calcutta sqlsdron and force destined for Rangoon had quitted the Hooghly on the 25• h; the Madras portion of the force, on board the Bombay filet, on the 28th and 29th; they did not in reality leave till the 27th and 31st respectively. The Madras. embarkation appears •to have been a matter of unusual interest; it was the largest force that had ever left the presidency at one time. Operations commenced on the 24th; unfortunately the weather at this time was unpropitious, the atmosphere all'over India having been in a state of general disturbance for the last ten days of March. On the 31. t, the troops were assembled on the beach at daybreak; 137 boats, ready to receive them, lay just within the reach of the surf, at that time very high, in positions marked by numeral signals corresponding to those of the respective steamers. Uuder a heavy swell and strong current 4,000 men were transferred in less than two hours' time from dry land to the decks of the steamers in the open roadstead, more than a mile away, without a - single accident of note. The surf in many instances biolre over the boats, wetting the clothes and bedding of .the soldiers, yet not a murmur was ut tered. Oae boat was swamped—her people were picked up by a catamaran and brought on shore, and au hour after wards—the .sepoys' clothes, arms, and accoutrements wetted as thoroughly as immersion could wet them— were again merr;ly on their way out to sea. The Ma dras fleet was expected to reach 4b9ut the sth or 6th April --The CaIe:ALL _tquaarorLdiatt,4weel_y --quitted when a fu yond. the discomfort it occasioned it catised no particular harm. The first of theme arrived at the mouth of the Rangoon river on board the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ledy Mary Wood on the 30th, and found everything prepared for their reception. They were for the time put on board the Burmese capture, a vessel of 1,000 tons, lying dis masted. The Madras troops were not looked for till the 6th; on the 7th active operations were to commence. The refractory 38th Native Infantry have been marched by land to guard the frontier. A further mutiny is expected to take place amongst them on the wry, in which case they will most likely be disbanded, anti the most unwise s ystem of keeping regiments on the gene ral strength of the army enlisted tor merely local purposed, ho abolished. The 3d Seiko Irregulars, on hearing of the misconduct of the sepoys, came forward and vo'unteered to a man to go wherever lend on what ever service Government desired; unfortunately they are too far away from a seaport to be available. The Burmese are said to be bullying and blustering at a great rate—calling on us to come on, as they are tired of seeing our ships in the river doing nothing. They will probably find our activity much moms troublesome than our inaction—three hours of a bombardment worse than three months of a blockade. In addition to the force formerly enumerated, her Majesty's steamer Rattler, which left Penang on the 28th ultimo, wick Admiral Austen oa board, would have joined about the third or fourth; and the Nerbudda and Mahanuddy from the Hooghly and Akyab—the Lord W. Bentinek taking the place of the latter—were or dered for river service; and to all appearance we are now determined to push on as far and as fast as pos sible. It seems to be thought likely that Rangoon will be occupied and maintained by our troops during the rains—the steamers keeping up the communication with Amherst in case of sickness. Promo itself will be cap tured at once, and a strong outpost established in the in terior beyond the limit of excessive fall as far up as pru dence permits, to enable operations to be resumed at once on the commencement of the fair weather. Oriental Monarchs are in general kept so profound in the dark in reference to the real state of matters around them, that every encounter is represented to them as a victory on their side, every retirement on the part of their adver saries as a confession of defeat; and it is most important where practicable, to leave them no breathing space, bat repeat blow after blow until they are crushed to the ground. Sir Colin Campbell's force returned to Peshawur on the 27th ult., having apparently reduced the enemy to subjection and compelled him to promise payment of a fine and tribute. The accounts of an attack made on the force, and the fighting with severe lesson both sides, have proved wholly unfounded. They have given hostages for their good conduct in future. News re ceived yesterday, however, leads to the apprehension that the force will require again to go out into the dis tricts, to prevent the marauders plundering the villages under our protection. The Sinde Commissioner, Mr. Frere, returned to Kurracheo on the 4th inst. from his prolonged tour of inspection. The fortnight following the 19th March, when the storm first made its appearance, has been remarkable all over India for the strangeness of the weather and the frequency of thunder and lightning, with violent falls of hail all over the country from 6 to 32 degrees north. The 19th, the 25th, the 31st March, and 3d and 4 April were the periods of most noteable disturbance. The chief hail-storms occurred about the 25th—the thunder and wind, which were especially violent at Calcutta and Kurrachee, in exactly the same parallel, 1,500 miles apart, on the 4th inst. On the 31st there was a severe earthquake all over the north-west provinces. The hot weather is now setting in, and the temperature at Bombay getting very uncomfortable. The Marquis of Dalhousie is at Calcutta, performing with unsurpassable diligence and energy the duties of Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief, Sir W. Gomm remaining in the north-west. The Marchioness has been compelled by sickness to return home. Mr. Peacocke, legislative member of council, arrived at Calcutta and assumed office on the 2d. The act for the appointment of permanent sheriff for the three Presidencies has just been published. The duties are no longer to be performed viceeiously, and the sinecures which have amongst them cost above 300,000/., bestowed within the last half century on gentlemen in favour in high places, will thus become extinguished. The sheriff hereafter is to bs chosen by Government, for life or good conduct, from a list of three, to be sent up by the Supreme Court. He must be a barrister or solicitor of the court, and not in the exercise of any other profession. He acts at once as sheriff, superintendent of gaols and bridewells, and coroner. Mr. Arthur, our present coroner, will, it is supposed, receive the Bombay appointment. The Act takes effect from December. The Governor of Bombay and Commander of the Forces are at Mahabuleshwar enjoying the cool climate of the hills. They will spend the rains at Poona, and return to the presidency about November. The Senior .Member of Council, Mr. Blane, has gone round to Madras, and proceeded thence, it is sail, to Burmah, for change of air. The Baroda Government have paid no attention whatever to the instructions conveyed to them through the resident to pay the debts contracted by the Sertanee Joetabhaee during the period of the in famous sequestration of her property, from the estate, and to allow her from her own funds a monthly stiteind suited to her rank. We await, with much anxiety, the decision from home on these subjects—expected on all hands to be favourable to the victim of unheard-of cruelties, should she till then continue to survive. An important omission seems to have been committed by Government in the preparation of the Act for the suppression of frauds in packing cotton; no provision exists for the detection of the crime, which never flou rished in greater luxuriance than at present. - The second presentation of diplomas occurred at the Grand Medical College on the 13th. The establishment has given unbounded satisfaction—the native surgeons who last year received diplomas being now in the en joyment of a flourishing and successful practice. Commodore Sir H. Leeke, Commander-in-Chief of the Indian navy, has signalised the commencement of his career by two highly popular orders; one directing heads of intelligence to be prepared on board vessels of war coming from foreign ports, to be dispatched on shore for the service of newspaper reporters the moment the vessel makes her moorings; the other, desiring that when disabled steamers of other services are met with, every assistance shall be afforded them by men-of war— thcir passengers, parcels, or letters, should they con tain any, to be brought on for them to the presidency. Just as the Ajhaha, about to start for Sues with the mails, was getting up her steam on the 33 April, the Achar, with the mails of Bth March from London, a nchored alongside of he r, and the two were for a couple of hours in the harbour together. This is the first time the out going and in -comin g mail ever actually were i n port at once, and sho ws with how small a matter of a monthsd ditional speed return of ost might f or eight every year be sec ured from Bombay. BUR .vIA 11. We republish from the Bengal Hurharu an extract from a letter from a party on board of the Lady ild ry Wood, giving particulars of the arrival of the first por tion of the Bengal force in the Burmese waters on the 31st of at this date the Madras column had of coarse not rattle its appearance. The Burmese were said to have assumed the King Cambyses' vein— daring us to advance on Rangoon, as "they were tired seeing our ships in the river doing noLhing." Very probably, and wa dare say they were tired enough o f their being in the neighbourhood at all; but they would have much less occas than ion for of w eariness with t hem in a state of passiveaess action. Three hours of a bombardment wul, we suspect, Gbe found much more tiresome than three months of eneral a blockade. How ever this may be, we dare say Godwin would avoid as much as possible wearying th em with delay, and that by ri this time they will be in a p es i. experience both as to the passive and tion to speak fro m ex active system of British tactics.

If the town b e taken, as we doubt not it will be, General Gooliniu is strong enough to hold it against any odds; but if, on the other hand, its loss does not alter the resolution of his golden, footed Majesty, we may look for a rotracted v ar, of which the termination cannot be auomplished cluriLg the present season, cr without a considerable augmenta tion of our lard forces. We are informed that two river steamers aro fitting out for the expedition. Amongst the appointments enumerated in the staff list of the ex pedition, we have observed that of a fild paymaster."— Bengal flurkaru, April 6. We extract the following from a letter written at the mouth of the Rangoon river on the 31st ultimo:—" I suppose you expect no intelligence of importance from hence, and therefore will not b 3 disappointed to learn that there is none. Detachmeats of the 18th Royal Irish and the 40th Native Infantry arrived in the Putty Allow, Fatty ltossack, and steamer Erin, this morning.

It is also said that sumo days ;go the Manahan Governor sent to Co lonel Bogle to say that as we had given them till the Ist of April to come in to our terms, they would attack us that day if we did not attack them.

The Madras Spectator adverts to the singular fact of ee Sir Richard Armstrong not having inspected the regiments forming the brigade recently sent from that presidency to Burmah, either individually or collectively. The circumstance is certainly safficiently strange, seeing that the cops were encamped at Madras for at least a week or ten days before their embarkation. We give to-day some further notices of the earthquake of the 31st ult. Simla seems the northernmost point from which accounts have been received—Luchnow the southernmost; so that, so far as we at present know, it has extended from about 27 to 31 deg., and from 77 to 81 deg. east and west, or about 300 miles each way. It is said to have occurred at the same moment at Lueknow, Meerut, and 711eaoorie; and if this be the Case, the line connecting these points together will be that of emana tion. The Atheneum informs us that sentence of a year's imprisonment in the gaol at Madras had been passed on Lieutenant O'Brien and Ensign Peacocks, 84th Foot, who had been convicted of having caused the death of an old woman by running her down in the streets of Triohineprily sometime back; and that they were on their way down to the presidency to undergo their punishment. The young gentlemen must have been tonna guilty of very gross carelessness indeed—of cul pable homicide in fact—before each a severe sentence was passed on them. Had the poor old creature met her death through accident, cr anything which could decently have been called an accident, the officers would have escaped punishment; not an excuse could, it seems, be brought forward in their favour, and they have ac cordingly been very properly punished for their care lessness, as a warning to others that people's lives are not wantonly to be trifled with. Sir C. Napier's Sukbur order of the 21st November, 1842, would well apply in this case :—" Gentlemen as well as beggars may, it they dike, ride to the devil when they get on horseback, but neither gentlemen, nor beggars, have a right to send ridingot h t h eT e m i• ab p de e z i o aa p si s e nevep t eo h dy e si r n e w , thiweehn campicehm will embarking kr ibnegt bazaar."he case it furious The Atheneum informs us that the spirit evinced by 31st ult. gave sufficient refutation to th r wn e te ß o wn u a l l e r u m vl m ne a rg n h nb io ei o e u l n is s e the vreetod. a p n o a rts at sp t.h r e ea t d ,,m fr e om tiin C o al b e u tt proceed on fortrißt/ service.

No, good troops, as we have of th brother, you never beveled, n portunity of suing that the Bombay sepoy has refused to go where he is bid—of that you may be certain ; our men, if not all high caste, are at any rate of high mili tary principle. The Bengal Burkaru of the 4th instant contains the following account of a severe storm which took place at Calcutta on the evening of Saturday, the 3d. We regret to kern that the Rev. Mr. Weideman, professor of Bishop's College, was drowned in the storm while cross ing the river:— " A singularly severe north-wester visited Calcutta this evening, at about twenty minutes past six. It came on so suddenly, and with such tremendous violence, that we fear we shall have to record some accidents to the shipping. In the midst of this violent storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, we consulted a sympiesometer, an aneroid', and a common barometer, and found them all rising and indicating fine weather! The atmosphere, which was sultry and heavy enough a minute or two before the storm, is now delightfully cool and elastic. The Eleetric Telegraph of this evening reports the fol lowing:—' Half-past 6, P er., Calcutta—A furious squall from the south. Barometer rose from 29.800 to 29.995. Very vivid lightning. Diamond Harbour reported the squall severe; much thunder and lightning; no rain.'" s e too ottahrteet belt to,. T )1' ' , .n Our advices from China are dated liong•Song, the 30th of March. We learn that the monthly mail of the 24th of January, from England, had not come forward. The Ganges waited at Galle till the 12th instant fcr it, and arrived here on the 27th instant. We are supplied with European news to the Bth of January, by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamer Shanghae, which arrived from Cal cutta to the Bth. There is nothing very striking to advise this month. The Kwangsi rebellion is still talked of, and we hear of small places being attacked by banditti, no doubt in connexion with the insurgents, but nothing decisive is known. In Hong-Kong the troops continued healthy, though the weather has been very unfavourable, and generally the colony is much freer from the late epidemic of smallpox. The, journals are full of the trial of the Erin's ease, brought against the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany, for illegally selling cargo and retaining pro• seeds. A verdict has been given against the company. The emigration to California is still in pro g r es s. Upwards of fifty ships hare sailed, taking, it is esti mated, about 15,000 emigrants. His Excellency Sir George Bonham takes his de parture for England in the Ganges for a temporary absence. An address from the residents and mer chants of the colony and Canton has been presented to him, as a mark of respect and esteem. - His Excellency Major-General Jervois will assume the government and all the functions of Sir George Bonham till the arrival of the January mail, which it is s upposed will bring Dr. Bowring's commission as Plenipotentiary and Chief Superintendent of Trade. We hear of the total loss of the ship Emperor of Chin, from London to Shanghae, in the Banda Sea, with a valuable cargo of piece goods—crew saved. We also hear of the loss of the Danish ship Canton, in the Pacific. Trade is generally reviving. The price of imports s ea i m l k . is maintained, but the demand has not been large.

We learn from recent letters from Kurrachee, that Mr. Frere, the Co mm i ss i oner , h a d re t urne d on the 4th inst. Mr. Cold,recently returned from England, was to take charge of the customs establishment during Mr. :.11•Leocl's absence at Bombay on leave. Rain had threatened on 25th and 26th, but had passed off with a wry light shower, accompanied by thunder and lightning. The weather was still changeable, but the inhabitants of Kur rachee were very healthy. On the sth inst., a severe storm of thunder, rain, and hail had occurred at Kurra chee. The sth Native Light Infantry had embarked on the 26th ult., in country busts, fox Vingorla, en route for Dharwar. THE NORTH-WEir FRONTIER. From the columns of our Delhi contemporary we gather the following items from Peshawar and the fron tier:—" We learn from 1 3 hawar that Ghuzun Khan, Chief of Kashicar, who some time since joined the Swattees with 2,000 troops against the British, had been in treaty with the authorities for the purpose of effect ing the capture of the Swat - Chieftain; the latter, how ever, was too shorp for him, phi on Ghazal Khan pre senting himself, he found the tables turned, for he was taken prisoner, and marched off to Swat, and the Kash kar troops returned to their villages. Late letters (dated the 2d of April) mention the arrival of Major Mackeson at Peshawur. The Swattees had gone back to their villages and all was quiet. On the Ist instant another outrage was committed, near the village of Muchnee by Darya Khan Momund, and about fifty of his followers, on some eight or ten merchants travelling with about 5,000 rupees worth of property towards Kohat. One of the merchants was killed and three wounded; the remainder returned to Peshawar and com plained to the commissioner of the outrage. An order was sent to .the Maliks of Muchnee to produce the thieves. They replied that it was out of their power to do so, as Darya Khan, who had been causing great dis , turbauces all over the district, was alone answerable for the outrage. The M.alaks were then ordered to be re leased, and steps are about to be taken to apprehend Darya Khan.' The Lahore Chronicle d the 7th instant supplies the following disheartening accounts of the statJ of matters : " We regret much to hear that fresh troubles are awaiting our authorities, both political and military, at Peshawar. It was known at the station on the 30th of March, that in three days after the return of Brigadier Campbell and his force from the northern extremity of the valley, that the Momunds and Swattees had coalesced, and were assembling in considerable num bers, the latter under the leadership of their King, who is also their high priest. It wa : reported that some of them had seized the Bariumle Maalik, who had taken the lead in effecting the settlement of the previ ous question' with Colonel Mackeson, plundered his house and property, and told the friends and rela tions of the hostages in the hands of the commis :Eioner that they hal better quit the country, as the sum stipulated for as a fine should not be paid. It was given out by these gentry that they proposed laying down a different line of frontier to that marked out by our Go vernment! It was even believed they might bring themselves to attack the post of Kupeor Gurhee, held by Lieutenant Lumsden, of th 3 Guifh:s, and Lieutenant Henderson, of the 31 Punjab Infantry, who quitted Llaz irah about the 20th of March, and has been some ten days in the Yoczlfzaie country. As a matter of course, Brigadier Campbell will have to go out again, and we are much mistaken if late events will not have shown him that it will be the safest and most politic plan to draw his sword, throw away the scabbard, and give the Swattees, to begin with, ouch a lesson as will last them half a generation at least." Amongst our extracts will be found particulars of a skirmish betwixt a detachment of the 4th Punjaub Cavalry with some of the frontier police, and a party of Kusranees, near Dera Futteh Khan, a town fifty miles From Dera Ismael Khan, in which we had a jemedar and three men killed, and three wounded. The town had been plundered, and five of the police killed, and as many wounded, on the 17th ult. Sir H. Lawrence, Colonel Napier, and Major Nicholaon reached the scene of the skirmish on the 19th, and no doubt took active measures for following up and securing those of the marauders who might have fallen in their way.
