RIO JANEIRO, DEC. 12. Coffee—The market has not undergone much altera tion worthy of notice. Some inquiry has taken place for Europe. Superior coffee is quoted at 2,900 reis to 3,000 reis per arroba; good firsts, 2,600 reis to 2,700 refs; and ordinary firsts, 2,100 reis t,) 2,300 reis. The quality of this year's crop is decidedly inferior to the Preceding one, the bean being generally small, not so nor g of so bright a colour as usual. The fine qualities are, therefore, very scarce, in demand; whilst O rdinary an d t h e regu l ar culft.es sell at proportionately lower brices. The stock at market amounts to about 35,000 bags. , S ugar —Campos sell almost exclusively for consump tion. at 2,900 reis per arroba for first quality whites, and 2,100 to 2,000 reis per arroba for muscovadoes. The s ugar crop this year being expected to be very small, P r ices are not likely to decline ; on the contrary, a fur ther rise might be looked for.

Tuo__.:._,.kv_ k . ,~: TESTIMONIAL TO WILLIAM CHADWICK, ESQ. A dinner took place at the London Tavern last evening, to celebrate the presentation of a service of plate to W. Chadwick, Esq., late Chairman of the Richmond Rail way, as a testimonial of esteem and respect from the shareholders in that undertaking, as well as from a . numerous circle of Mr. Chadwick's friends in other un dertakings with which he has been connected, more especially from the shareholders in the North Wales. The service was exhibited on a table in the centre of the morn, and presented a very magnificent appearance. It con sisted of the following—a splendid candelabrum, ago forming a superb epergne, four handsome dishes and - - cocer:;, four sauce tureens, one superb soup tureen, eigh salt cellars, &c.; coffee-pot, silver tea-pot, sugar-basin, a large salver, cream ewer, &c. &c.; the whole of the value of 5001. The candelabrum bore the following in. scr7ption—" Presented to William Chadwick, Esq , with a service of plate, at a dinner given to him at the London Tavern, January the 19th, 1849; IL C. Lacy, Esq., M.P., in the chair, as a token of the esteem and respect, by the shareholders or the Richmond Railway, for his unwearied exertions and the eminent talent displayed in promo:ing its suc cess, and as an acknowledgment by many of his friends of the advantages conferred by his incessant attention to their interests." About 100 gentlemen were present. Among those present we noticed Alderman Musgrove, Sergeant Gazelee, Mr. Gwilt, Mr. Hill, Mr. James, Mr. Hoggins, Colonel Smith (16th Lancers), Captain Fowell, R.N., Mr. Lambert Jones, &c. &c. Due justice having been done to the excellent dinner, which, with the wines, gave unbounded satistection, The CHAIRMAN gave the first toast. In an assembly of Englishmen, but more especially one gathered toge ther in the city of London, nothing was required but to call upon them to drink the health of the Queen. • tpast was warmly responded to; as also were the following:—" The Queen Dowager," " Prince, Albert," " Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family," and " The Army and Navy.". In giving the last toast, the CHAIRMAN said he was happy to inform them that they were honoured with the presence of a member of both services. ,They had a Smith amongst them—(Cheers.)—Colonel Smith, of the 16th Lancers, who broke the sqtiare of the enemy in India and routed them.—(Cheers.) . They had also a long tried officer of the navy present, Captain Fowell. Colonel SMITH and Captain FOWELL returned thanks for the honour conferred upon their respective services. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—Gentlemen, I must now crave your indulgence whilst I apologise for my inability to do justice to the next toast. My regret, however, at this circumstance is, in a great measure, compensated by the fact that we are surrounded by worthy friends we have the evidence of your presence that the toast I am about to propose is one which will be peculiarly acceptable and duly honoured; and therefore if I fail to enunciate your sentiments on this occasion, there is little reason for regret, since you have evinced your opinion of the subject of the toast in the splendid service of plate which lies before me.—(Cheers.) That service of plate evinces the high opinion you entertain of Mr. Chadwick, of his in tegrity, his zeal, and his character as a man.—(Cheers.) He is present, and therefore I cannot speak of him in hi 3 presence as I should like to do, since I might lay myself open to the charge of being too flatter ing. Ido not, however, think I could be too flattering. —(Cheers.) I must confess that I do not know how I came to be placed in the chair, except from being closely connected with Mr. Chadwick, as the chairman of a railway company of which he is the vice-chairman; and if ever there was a man to work with or for with greater pleasure that man is my friend, Mr. Chadwick.—(Loud cheers.) I feel lam deficient in the language of com pliment, or I could enlarge at some length upon his merits. You, however, know enough of him to be aware that he has all the estimable qualities that I have recited. lam sure I speak the language of those who have subscribed to this testimonial, when I express a hope that it will long be an heir -loom of the fa mily, in order that his descendants may know that inte grity and zeal, and all good qualities, are sure to meet with their reward. I know you did not come here to hear me speak, and, therefore, I will conclude without further preface by proposing the health of Mr. Chad wick. The toast was drank amidst the utmost enthusiasm. Mr. CHADWICK, who was much cheered, and who ap peared to labour utader deep emotion, then rose, and said— Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I am almost overcome by the kind and. flattering manner in which the chairman has been pleased to introduce me to your notice. I think I shall perhaps best repay your kindness by touching upon a few facts in connexion with my history, and by ex plaining to you as:well as lean some of the grounds which have, I believe, induced my friends to present me with this flattering testimonial.—(Cheers.) The gentleman with whom the proposal originated was present. Some time ago he called upon me with respect to it, and he will bear me out that the following wero the reasons which had led to its presentation. It is unnecessary for me to tell you that I entertain a deep interest in: the success of the Richmond line. Many respected individuals connected with the line thought that it could be carried out with success as an independent line— that without any con nexion with any other ! line they could make it a profit able undertaking. They consequently abandoned au idea which had been entertained of connecting it with the South-Western line. I entertained a different opi nion, and the• gentlemen who supported me in that opinion, more than any merit of my own, are the leading cause of my being here to day. The differ enco of opinion that prevailed upon this point was the rock on which we split, and which called me to the helm of the affairs of that undertaking. I was so ably as sisted that the matter was brought to a successful issue. It was not a difficult task to bring about such a result. I, therefore, fear you have greatly overrated my exer tions in the matter.—(No, no.) But you give me the cre dit of other achievement, because you say I have been the means of suppressing many useless and spurious lines. Although I must confess I have not done much to stop unprofitable projects, yet perhaps more credit is due to me on that account than for carrying out railways.— (Cheers.) I believe I have been instrumental in saving the unprofitable expenditure of 4,000,0001. At least 35,000,0001. of money has been buried in projects which will never do more than pay the more working ex penses.—(Cheers.) I mention this because in a railway with which I am connected a considerable portion of odium has been cast upon me because I have given it as my opinion that the carrying out of the project would be destructive of the interests of all who may embark their capital in it.—(Cheers.) I am glad to see on my right a gentleman who, thirty years ago, took me by the hand, and introduced me to my first and most successful work, the re-erection of the steeple of Bow Church. I mean Mr. Gwilt.—(Cheers.) Gentle men, I assure you that I shall ever consider this day the proudest in my life—and I beg to express my sincere thanks to you, not only .for your kindness on this occa sion, but on all former periods.—(Cheers.) Mr. GWILT confirmed the statement of Mr. Chadwick. He certainly, thirty years ago, did not imagine , that he should ever be present on such an interesting occasion as this; but he was not surprised, when he bore in mind the great zeal and perseverance which Mr. Chadwick had ever evinced.—(Cheers.) Mr. HENDERSON complimented Mr. Chadwick for having been the means of obtaining the return of money to parties who had rashly embarked it in speculations which had been concocted by parties for their own gain, and' referred to one or two instances in which he had conferred great benefit in this way on the shareholders. The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of the Lord Mayor and the Corporation of London.—(Cheers.) Alderman MusonovE returned thanks. He expressed his thanks to Mr. Chadwick for having been instru mental in the construction of the Richmond Railway, as it enabled him and other citizens to reside in the country, whither they were carried by it in a brief period of time .—(Cheers.) He begged to propose the health of the Chairman. The CHAIRMAN expressed his acknowledgments. He should have much neglected his duty if he had not been present on that occasion to render homage in any posi- tion to the merits of his respected friend.—(Cheers.) Mr. SHAW said he had not the happiness of being one of those who had derived benefit from the amalgamation of Richmond Railway with the South-Western, or from other lines with which Mr. Chadwick was con nected; yet he would say this ,to that gentleman un affectedly, that he had been the means of saving him from losing a considerable sum of money. He could also bear testimony to his high-mindedness, his general urbanity, and perseverance. Some two or three years ago it was his (Mr. Shaw's) misfortune to buy a considerable number of North Wales shares? He did so in conse quence of the ingenious concocter of the scheme setting it forth in glowing colours, and he swallowed the bait. — (Laughter.) Influenced in this way, be attended a meeting in that room. Mr. Chadwick was present, and he cautiously, yet kindly intimated, that it was very possible the shareholders might have calculate() too highly upon the scheme, for he did not wish to blight all his (Mr. Shaw's) hopes at once. He went over the ground proposed to be traversed by Mr. Chadwick's suggestion, and he found that his prognostica tions were correct—(Cheers)--and ho wished to tell him, in the city of London, that this was so, and that he had protected the interests of the shareholders in that railway. If there was a man in that room who could that night lay his head upon his pillow with the satis faction that he had done his duty, it was Mr. Chadwick. —(Loud cheers.) Not only had he filled the pockets of his friends, but he had prevented their pockets from being emptied by those who sought, at the expense of other , , to promote their own profit.—(Cheers.) He begged to propose " The health of the Chairman of the Committeee, William Knott, Esq."—(Cheers.) Mr. KNOTT said he was not a speculator in railways, but he took shares in the Richmond Railway, believing that it would be a profitable undertaking. He and others having derived considerable profit from the fore sight and good management of Mr. Chadwick, he thought they were bound to present him with a testimonial of their gratitude.—(Cheers.) When the testimonial was first suggested he had no idea that the subscriptions would have enabled the committee to present such a magnificent one.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of Mr. Simpson.— (Cheers.) He said he could not forbear taking thnt opportunity of asking them if they did not think that Mr. Chadwick was the best-natured man in e xistence.—(Loud cheers.) 4 . 14 1". Simpso N expressed his acknowledgments. He Bgq the l arge amount of the su b scr i pt i ons, w hi c h w ere limited to a specified sum, showed the respect which was entertained towards Mr. Chadwick. Had no limit been assigned, he had no doubt a much larger amount would have been subscribed. There was nothing Air. Chad- LONDON, wick would not do to serve another.—(Cheera.) It was right to state that the committee had received a number of communications most complimentary to Mr. Chad wick from Members of Parliament and others, who, had the period of the dinner been deferred until close upon the meeting of Parliament, would have been present; the large company, however, showed moat satisfac torily the great esteem in which he was held. . Colonel SMITH proposed the health of the Bar. Sergeant GAZELEE briefly and eloquently returned thanks, as also did Mr. E. JAMES, who said, having, in the Parliamentary contest, been opposed to Mr. Chadwick, they would not accuse him of flattering him. He had heard it said of him, by an eminent individual, "You never knew what he was until he was in opposition."—(Loud cheers.) Some other toasts followed, and the company did not separate until a late hour. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM SPRING MEETING, 1849.

THE HON. AND REV. BAPTIST Nom—lt having been announced that the Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel would, on Tuesday evening, deliver an address on the " Church and the World," in Exeter Hall, the announce ment created a great sensation in the religious world. The hall was crowded. The platform was chiefly occupied by ministers of various denominations. At halt-past eight the Hon. and Rev. Gentleman ap peared on the platform, accompanied by the com mittee of the Young Men's Association. The Hon. F. Cowper, N.P., was unanimously called on to preside. The Hon. Chairman, after having very briefly addressed the meeting, introduced to the assembly the lion. and Rev. Gentleman (Baptist Noel), who, in commencing his address, remarked that it was far from his wish to stand in the position he then occupied. He was sorry in one sense he had bete unable to absent himself upon that occasion, but having promised to address the Young Men's Association, he was unwillingly obliged to do so. lie then proceeded to say that he had not come there to bring before them that evening any new truths, but only to illustrate and en force those which they bad often heard before. He was evidently expected, by a large proportion of the meeting, to make some specific references to the circumstances under which he had recently seceded from the Church, but he scrupulously abstained from all allusion to the subject. Neither did he make a single reference to him self individually. Although his subject, " The Church and the World," might naturally have led him to say something on the question of Church establishments, he avoided all allusion to it, and faithfully fulfilled the pro mise he gave in the outset of his address, tbat he would confine himself to the inculcation and illustration of principles which were purely of a practical nature. NA . _T . V .. ..4 . 0 . ,k . • _lt .. Viti.ll' . _lG, ii A. lkirt A it_V rffitt 14"Ntiort COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL. TS DAY.) The Court of CriminakAppeal sat this morning in the Exchequer Chamber. - The following Judges consti tuted the Court—Lord Chi4Justice Denman, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Coltman, and Mr. Barom Alderson. nnAnquAttorkttri..4loYAL SAPl'tnk Misrßits. It is we understand, in contemplation to make Chat ham the head quarters of this corps, by an amal gamation of the two establishments, Woolwich ald Chatham. We have reason to believe that th. , subject has been under mature consideration for some time past, and was even prop sed many years b: ok by Capt a ' n , now M a j or -Ge n eral Sir C. * W. PaSley, when Director of the Royal Engineer Es tablishment. The Service requires that something of the kind si:ould take place; and whether looking at it as a financial or Military measure, the advantages ere two obvious to be doubted. The circumstance of two, separate establishments being kept up fur the Corps has always appeared to us very inconsistent. Lieutenant Powell holds his commission in his pccket without the permission to hoist the pendant in the Janus steam-vessel, at Woolwich, to be fitted for service at Gibraltar. A screw steamer launch, to be decked, and to be propelled by a four-horse engine, high-pressure, is to be fitted for the Janus, which boat is to be con stantly employed, when the Janus is required at Gibral tar, in cruising on the Barbary coast. The new regulations'.have just been issued fur grant ing pensions to seamen and marines for vvi,unds and long service, much to their advantage. The new ratings of pt tty officers have also been practically established. The captains of the afterguard are now to be first-class petty officers. ADMIRALTY.—SOMERSET HOUSE.—The following, promotions and appointments in the department of the Surveyor of the Navy have taken place during the past week; they are consequent on the death of Mr. Wilson, Late the Chief Draughtsman.—Mr. T. Waterman pro moted to be Senior Draughtsman, at 3501. per annum, vice Wilson, who had 500/. per annum; Mr. James )raff promoted to be Second Draughtsman, at 250/. per annum, vice Waterway, whose sllrry was 3401 ; Mr. William Heridge promoted to be Third Draughts man, at Mt. per annum, vice Graff' ; and Mr. R. Lew cock, from Sheerness Dockyard, has I:,eir established as Fourth Draughtsman, at 150/. per annum. Thus it will be seen that by these promotions a reduction has been made in salaries of the Draughtsmen in the Sur veyor's Department of 3301. per annum, whilst Mr. Edye, the late " Chief Draughtsman " to the Sur veyor, has had his salary increased from 6501. to 8001. per annum. If reduction was imperative, surely it ought to have commenced on the highest salaries. QUEEN V. SARAH WATERS. The prisoner, in this case, was found guilty of having . caused the death of an inf an t ill eg i t i ma t e child of which she had been delivered. It appeared that she placed the child upon a heap of ashes, and left it there exposed, by which exposure its death was occasioned. There were two questions reserved by Mr. Baron Rolle, who tried the case, but the only one upon which the ar gument turned was whether the age of the child had been properly described in the indictment, it being al leged that, in order t. prove that leaving exposed upon the ashes was an unlawful act, it was necessary t) show that the child was of tender age. Mr. CLARKE. ho appeared on the part of the Crown (the prisoner was unrepresented) contende a. that' the age of the person was immaterial so long as it was alleged that the act done had been the cause of his death. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, if the party were twenty wars of age it would not be unlawful to leave him 50 exposed, although it would b e un l awfu l teaknock him down. But if the party were of tender years, for in stance, an infant, the act alleged would have been ilk gal, and therefore it was necessary that the age should be stated. The Court, however, took time to consider their de. cision. QUEEN V. ROBERT WYNNE. The defendant in tbis case was in the service of the Post-office, and was found g u il ty at the Old B a il ey o f secreting certain letters belonging to the Postmaster- General. Mr. Ballantyne appeared on behalf of the appellant, a point of law having been reserved by Mr. Baron Platt, who tried the case, for the decision of this Court. There were two counts to the indictment, one charging with stealing, and the other with secreting, and the jury found that the defendant having committed a mistake whilst sorting the letters, secreted them in a water-closet, in order to avoid the penalty w hich such a mist a ke might subject him to. The question, ther e f ore , was , w h et h er this verdict amounted to the act of stealing; and the I Learned Counsel coAterAd that could not, a n d th a t it simply amounted to an act of aiifiittractive Larceny. The property was in the honest possession of the prisoner, and it did not appear that the secreting was with the intention of taking the entire dominion over the pro perty, out of the hands of the Post -office authorities. Supposing, for instance, a servant were to take a book from a library, and having injured or defaced it, were to put it i n t o th e fi re to prevent its being found out; would it not be an unusual stretch of the law to find him guilty of larceny? Mr. Baron ALDER3ON—There is no doubt about it being a secreting, and I have a strong opinion that it is a stealing also.--(Laughter.) Mr. BALLANTYNE apprehended, however, 'that there was no lucri causi in the case, because it cou ld not b e imputed fro m th e term " secreting " that he intended to destroy the properiy or to separate the possession of it entirely from the owner. _ _ Lord Dttrustax said the Act of Parliament applied to persons who .had dealings with. Post-office letters, and who had a most important trust reposed in them, placing at times almost - all the property ot the country in their hands, and, therefore, they were not placed in the posi tion of ordinary thieves and robbers. If a letter were secreted for any purpose whatever, it amounted to larceny; and it appeared to him that the indictment was perfectly good under the statute, and that the stealing had been satisfactorily proved. The other Judges concurring, the conviction was af firmed. QUEEN V. ALLEN. In this case, which had been reserved by Mr. Baron Rolfe, the Court decided that the conviction was good. QUEEN V. HOLLOWAY. The Court, in this case, which was reserved from the last Liverpool Sessions, were of opinion that there was no larceny committed by the defendant. The conviction was, therefore, annulled. QUEEN V. GEORGE READ. This case was tried at the Surrey Sessions, and a ver dict of guilty found against the defendant for a criminal assault upon a child. After hearing counsel on both sides, The Court held that the conviction was wrong. FRANCE. The Constitutionnel states that all voluntary enrol ments in the navy have been suspended, and furloughs are readily granted, with a view to diminish the ex penses of this branch of the public force. M. de Chabaud Latour, first aide-de-camp of the late Duke of Orleans and of the Count de Paris, has been named director of the fortifications at Amiens. HANOVER. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort. mentions an on dit, that Hanover has given notice of its in tention to put an end to its commercial treaty with the United States, in order to enter the German Customs Union. HANIBURGH.. JAN. 16.—The current of the Alster has rendered the ice in the harbour so insecure that there is open water in several places, and, ere long, barges will be able to cross. As the Reihersteig begins to be un safe in consequence, the passage across to Harburg is chiefly confined to the Kohlbrand, which is pleasant and secure. HARMING, JAN. 16.—The Kohlbrand is no longer considered secure; the mails and passengers have, consequently, proceeded across Wilhelmsburg. At Mekefeld and here, near the railway stations, the dykes have been broken in at several places on the Seeve, by which the neighbouring country has been under water. STADE, v JAN. 15, Noox.—At Brunshansen the Elbe, as far as the eye can reach, is completely , covered with a thick coating of drifting ice, and can not be passed: OTTBNDORF, JAN. 16, FORENOON.—The channel is completely free of ice, and navifable ; wind N.W.

The Baltic journal (Ostsee Zeitung) of yesterday, in a letter from Elsimore, Jan. 9, states that intelli gence has been received by a courrier coming from Sweden, that a fearful conflagration was raging at Gothenburgh.

RUSSIAN -POLAND. POSEN, JAN. 12.—1 t is very remarkable that re ports continue to be received from the Russian-Polish boundaries, which are quite unanimous on an in tended invasion of Russia, whereas it is as serted, on the other hand, that the most friendly relations continue to subsist ' between the Russian and Prussian Cabinets. We have again received intelligence from the frontier, that the Russian Boundary Customs have received private orders to be in a state of readiness to advance, with the whole of their superintending officers ' in propor tion as the Russians conti nue t o cross the Prussian frontier. An important measure is about to be introduced into the Legislature of Posen—trial by jury, and a perfect, acquaintance with the two national languages —the jury, the judge, and the lawyers, in order that the cases may be;carried on without interpreters.

We have received by express from Marseilles our advices and papers from India in anticipation of the overland mail of the 18th of December. The dates thus received are—from the army of the Punjaub to the 28th of November, Calcutta the Bth of Decein ber, and Bombay to the 18th of December. We have to announce as the main features by these advices the retreat of the Seikh army under Share Singh from the banks of the Chenab, along the mountain chain, in the direction of the Jhelum, after remaining for nearly a fortnight in the presence of our army, which, during the greater part of that r eriod, was awaiting the arrival of its heavy artillery. The decampment of an army amounting to 30,000 men and a park of heavy artil lery from a position it had so long occupied, and which offered extraordinary advantages, was occa sioned, or at least brought about, earlier than the enemy probably had anticipated, by a diversion car ried out under Major-General Sir J. Thackwell, who crossed the Chenab with some regiments of cavalry and horse artillery at Wuzeerabad, 25 miles above Rarrinuggur, the position of the British camp, in tending to fall on the enemy's flank and to attack their lines shnultaneously with the passage of the river, and attack by storm from the main position under Lord Gough. The enemy's attention had pre viously been almost solely directed, and not without reason, to the preparations which had been going forward for some days in the British camp for the erection of batteries to cover the passage of the river, and to overpower the enemy's guns. It was this fact, as well as the unsuccessful issue of an attempt immediately made by a strong division under Shore Singh himself to arrest Thackwell's progress—resulting in a decided defeat on their part—and also the completeness of the force with which the flank movement, when at length it had declared itself, was conducted (for a strong brigade of infantry were in readiness, and crossed shortly after the cavalry), thai, caused the diversion to be regarded by the Seikhs, who were justly ap- prehensive Ora joree, attaair on their front, flank, and rear, as the signal for their retreat. But before alluding to particulars as regards the main operations and the latest news, we have a duty to execute of a far different complexion. We have the painful task of announcing the fall of several distinguished officers in an attack that had occurred some ten days previous to the period alluded to, by a por tion of the army, principally cavalry, upon an outlying body of the Seikh forces, on which occasion a daring attempt made personally under Lord Gough, who had just joined the army, was con sidered necessary. The army and the nation have to deplore the fall of that able officer Major-General Cureton, and of men of great promise in Colonel Havelock, of her Majesty's 14th Dragoons, and of Captain Fitzgerald, of her Majesty's 14th Dragoons. The Seikh matchlockmen must have marked the officers, fur happily only 21 of the troops fell, al though, comparatively, many more were wounded. The attack which occasioned this loss arose from a design of driving back a portion of the Seikh force from the left bank of the Chenab. The first body of troops who with this view were charged by our cavalry are described as having stood firm whilst almost under their sabres, and to have then shown a singular degree of strategy and of coolness by managing to open their ranks, in order to tempt the farther progress of our troops. The opportunity was but too boldly followed, especially by her Majesty's 14th Dragoons, who charged throu g h a nu ll a h, or dry gully, squadrons in succession, where but a few troops could pass, upon a larger body of Seikhs, who slowly retired, disputing every inch of ground. A murderous fire was opened throughout upon our troops at the points where the few men engaged were enabled only in the confined space of the attack to take ground, and especially in the nullah, which had been so well covered as to be altogether unten able. Our troops at length withdrew (the engage ment having lasted about twenty minutes), having cut down some 80 Seikhs, but left behind a 6-poun der gun, clogged in the sand of the nullah, which was immediately carried off by the Seikhs. We will now allude to proceedings in the order of their occurrence at the main army. The first attack we have mentioned took place on the 22d of Novem ber. Taught by those proceedings, the Seikhs no longer dared to cross the ford, as they had previously lone, or to attempt seriously to molest our camp. The artillery got up on the 30th, and before 48 hours had elapsed, thanks to the noble exertions of some of her Majesty's troops (especially the 29th Foot), three powerful batteries had been erected along the river at the most favourable positions,:each within 1,200 yards of the enemy's camp. The batteries opened fire, were subsequently pushed nearer, and, simultaneously with these measures, Thackwell's diversion was un dertaken. It is certainly matter of regret that we could not more securely intercept the enemy in their retreat, but with this it must be remembered that any oarlier movement must probably have frustrated the degree of actual success which has occurred ; and it was only because the passage of the Chenab was found to be impracticable at any nearer point than ‘Vuzeerabad, that the flank movement, probably, was not at once and completely successful. The following lines are from our correspondent at Bombay, and give the latest advices immediately before the departure of the steamer, the dispatch of which had been delayed for forty hours, to give time for the arrival of further intelligence as to the results of General Thackwell's operations : " There is late news fro . ra the Commander-in-Chief's 'amp, but none respecting Generals Thackw.ll and Campbell, except that they were in hot pursuit, in 'antry and cavalry, and, as Shere Singh kept possession of his guns, they were in some hopes of overtaking him. Five guns and Shere Singh's elephant arc amongst the trophies taken at the engagement, when the Shere moved out against Thackwell. You will see, from Lord Gough's published dispatch, why General Thackwell did not follow up the Shere at once ; probably it wa,. all for the best as things have happened and will yet tall out. There is reason to suspect, however, that Shere Singh has already a position prepared for him some where oft the Telum, and also reinforcements ready; but every way the Seikh prospects are infinitely worsted. Lord Gough, we hear, has crossed the Chenab with his camp some ten miles. That range will probably be his basis. The prospects of a hang fire guerilla warfare are lessened, even if the brigades do not catch Shere Singh, by the certainty that Ghoolab will now come down on his fallen friends ; for you will observe that they are in a position where they might bid for his Government." This degree of success in our operations is timely in its arrival. The Seikhs had carried their schemes of hostility into our own territory, denuded of troops for the frontier warfare, so that not only was the peace of the Jullundur threatened—one of the most consolidated provinces in that part of India—but bands of Seikhs had crossed from the Doab to plunder and to instigate to revolt. Those emissaries found no difficulty whatever in their mission ; petty Rajas at once collected bands and set up for independence; and even Pathenkote, a fortress of some strength, had been invested by insurgents, and it required a retro grade movement by Brigadier Wheeler's force across the Ravee to break up and disperse them. There are highly satisfactory reports from Loo diana as to the efficient state of the army of reserve, and the measures of safety generally undertaken by General Sir Dudley hill ; efforts which are riot the less of value now that we do not require to count on such precautions. There is no news yet of the fall of Moulton, nor are we likely to hear it for some time, unless indeed Moolraj should evacuate the place when he hears that the Bombay forces are on the eve of reinforcing Gen. Whish. The last division of the Sinde field force left Sukkur on the 29th of November. We announced some months back, that, in accordance with the de sign of the Bombay Government to move forward its divisions and guns in no other than a united manner, the siege of the place could not be renewed until about Christmas. This date will, we believe, be now found exact. The Bombay authorities, we are in formed, considered that the position of General Whish, under any circumstances, was secure, and did not choose to risk the success of the troops of the Western Presidency by moving in detachments . There is intelligence by this mail of .t invest ment of Attock by a large body of the _Seikhsown to the 10th of November. Continued advices d 22d of the same month give somewhat satisfactory he o n the accounts of the character o f the resistance, and the prospects of the besieged under Lieutenant Herbert. - Major Lawrence and his family had been g i ven up to Chuttur Singh b y the chief with whom he had taken refuge at Koh. at, and who owed t o hi m his fortunes.

The enemy, w h o h ad been report«l in force at the several places indicated, but who had always evacuated them before they were occupied by us, were at length ascertained to have determined on making a stand at Ramnugger, and General Cureton was din cted to halt until more troops came up. Brigadier-General Campbell joined his camp on the 12th, taking command as senior officer, and bringing up another brigade. A further ad vance was made shortly afterwards, and on the 17th the camp was near Akalghur (commonly written Alleepoor .. --,, e - e_e•eiseereeekae,eaeeeeeeireaaaa:ei ithe letterS from damp). - Cfenerai Cureton wont qi'e with a small party to look at the village in the afternoon, and was fired upon; some of the rebel cavalry were also seen on that occasion, but not a man after that on the re ill or 18th, though a report was then still rife that Share Singh had on the 17th strengthened his force on the left bank of the Chenab. If he did so on that day, he certainly withdrew all the troops to the right bank on the 18th, as a party that went close up to Ramnuggur could hear nothmg of them, and it was previously ascer tained that A lleepoor had been evacuated during the night of the 17th of November. On the morning of the 18th the whole force were turned out about four in the morning, but why is not stated, and remained on their parade till sunrise, when they were dismissed, and the tents ordered to be repitched. Her Majesty's 61st Foot reached the camp of Brigadier General Campbell an the morning of the 19th, 850 strong, and were attached to assumed brigade ume de c har o g inman e.A ded uthe b n y ti ß e ri i gt nft d lr ie tn r at logg i i. onh a a i d e who bbeen ba d re ceived in the camp of Brigadier General Campbell on the 21st, then pitched at Saharun (nine miles S.S.W. of Ramnuggur, and consequently considerably to the left of lleedar Singh ka liillah, and a short distance from the camp near Akalghur), that Share Singh had, on the 171 h of that month, been joined by the Bunnoo troops under Ram Singh, and that he was, on the morning of the same day (the 21st), encamped on the right bank of the Chenab, with a picket of three regiments and four guns on the left bank. It was then surmised that, in consequence of the proximity of the head-quarters' camp (of the movements of the Commander-in-Chief a separate account is given) accompanied by Generals Thackwell and Gilbert, operations would commence on the 23d, especially as Lieutenant Nic'uolson's Patens having siezed 12 boats at Wuzeerabad on the first ad vance of General Cureton to Goojrenwallah about the 7th of November, it was considered that these would, with the assistance of the pontoon train, afford all the necessary facilities for crossing the Chenab. The Commander-in-Chief, having also considered that the time had arrived for the commencement of operations, orders were issued, late on the night of the 21st of No vember, in the camp of Brigadier General Campbell at Saharun (with the sanction of his Excellency, who rode over to the camp of Brigadier-General Campbell on the afternoon of the 21st), for the following troops to pa rade on the ensuing morning, at three o'clock, in front f the centre of the camp, without sourtd of bugle, trum pet, or drum:— The whole of the cavalry (her Majesty's 3d and 14th Regiments of Light Dragoons, the sth and Bth Regi ments of Light Cavalry, and 12th Irregular Cavalry). Two troops of Horse Artillery (Duecan's and War ner's). _ _ TWo field batteries (Austin's and Dawes's). And two brigades of Infantry (those of Brigadiers Godby, 2d European Regiment and 70th Native Infan try, and _•••• • _ _ IS .mit 36 th_ aeth Native In fa a try. The cavalry to be formed on the right, artillery on the left of the cavalry, and the infantry on the left of the whole. The cavalry and the infantry to be formed in column of troops and companies at quarter distance, left in front. The camp was to continue standing, Bri gadier Eeltford's brigade, with Captain Duncan's troop of llorse Artillery, remaining as a guard for the camp; the 12th Irregular Cavalry to cover the rear of the whole column. In this order this strong detachment marched, under the personal command of the Commande-in-Chief (who had come up from the head-quarters' camp to superintend the proceedings of the morning), at the appointed time, and reached the left bank of the Chenab, near Ramnuggur, at an early hour, in the hope of surprising the detachment of the enemy, who were known to be on the same side. It would eppear, however, that these had early intimation of the movement of the British troops, and had all retired across, except a few stragglers, and a picket, which fled, leaving their tents pitched. The object of the movement on our side was, however, mainly to as certain the real strength and position of the enemy, and this was in some degree effected on clearing Ramnuggur towards the left bank of the river. Then it became ap parent that their camp was pitched along the right bank of the river, which was seen to be crowded by thousands of men, whose white and light.coloured garments strongly contrasted (says the correspondent to whom we are mainly indebted for this narrative) with the bodies of the British troops, to which the eyes of our officers had been for some time past accustomed. In drawing out their fire, to ascertain their real strength in guns, and pressing perhaps rather too zealously in pursuit of those of the fugitives who appeared to be within reach, while crossing at the ford with water to the waist, Lieut.- Colonel Lace's troop of Horse Artillery (2d of the 3d brigade) got into heavy sand before they were aware of it, and a leading horse having been shot, it was found when the order came to limber up and retire, that one of the guns could not be moved. The Seikhs were not slow at perceiving this most inopportune embarrass ment, and directed so hot a fire upon the spot that it was found necessary to abandon the gun, although a light field battery was brought up to cover it (more than one account says that one or two tumbi ils were abandoned at the same time, and others that two waggons were left with the gun, but we are somewhat inclined to believe that this is a mistake). But the fire from the enemy from guns that were sheltered, while ours were exposed in an open plain, was so heavy that nothing could be dune beyond scattering a few of the nearest groups of the enemy, and then retiring. The cavalry were ordered to do the same, and take shelter from the enemy's round shot behind a slope of trees to the left, where they remained quietly tor a time, the infantry being during that interim drawn up on the tight. Some of the enemy being subsequently (it does not ex actly appear at what precise time this was the case, but it must have been some time after the artillery retired) di , covered on the left bank of the river further down to the left, a large number of our cavalry, amongst whom were the 3d and 14th Light Dragoon., moved down by order to dislodge them. On approach ing a body of Seikh cavalry, drawn up as if to receive them, these bloke and separated to the right and left, when the Dragoons chat ging on were brought up by a nullah, or ravine, full of inatehlockmen, who opened a most galling fire on the European cavalry, who were comparatively helpless, being unable to descend into the nullah. Here fell Brigadier-General Cureton, who was hot thrcugh the heart, Lieutenant-Colonel Havelock dangerously wour.ded, and Captain Holmes severely; and it was with some difficulty that the men were extri cated from the trap into which they had been inten tionally drawn by the enemy. Having, as represented in our letter, effected their purpose, though we do not exactly see how, the cavalry returned, but in the mean time the Seikhs had come across, and taking the 6-pounder Horse Artillery gun (which had, however, been previously spiked by the gunners) off the carriage, bore it in triumph to their own side the river. At about 1 P.m. the troops who had up to that time continued under arms, received orders to move to their new en camping ground, forming line facing the enemy about a mile and a half distant, with Ramnuggur in their rear, and there they remained during the 23d. The enemy's fire was, however, renewed at irregular intervals until the afternoon. They also fired in the same manner dur ing the 23d. The following is, we have every reason to believe, a nearly correct list of the casualties, of which no official return has been published:— Brigadier General Cureton, C. 8., killed (shot through the heart). Her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons—Colonel Have lock, killed; or at least his body had not been found up to the Ist inst. Captain Fitzgerald, wounded in five places by sword cuts, chiefly about the bead and neck (since dead). Captain Gall, wounded. Captain 11‘Mahon, wounded in the neck. Captain Bcudamore, wounded.
