A dinner to, k place at the London Tavern last evening, to celebrate the presentati• , n 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 frcm numerous circle of Mr. Chadwick's friends in other un dertakings with which he has been connected, more specially from the shareholders in the North Wales. The service was exhibited on a table in the centre of the room, and presented a very magnificent appearance. It eon isted of the following—a splendid candelabrum, also forming a superb epergne, four handsome dishes and corers, four sauce tureen 3, one superb soup tureen, eight saltcellars, &c.; coffee-pot, silver tea-pot, sugar-basin; a large salver, cream ewer, &c. &c.; the whole of the value of 5001. The candelatruin bore the following in - scrption—" Presented to William Chadwick, Esq , with a service of plate, at a dinner given to him at the London Tavern, January the 19th, 1849; 11. C• Lacy, E:q., M.P., in the chair, as a token of the esteem and respect, by the sharzhold, rs o' the Richmond Railway, for his unwearied exertions and the eminent talent displayed i❑ promo•irfg its sue aces, and as an acknowledgment by many of his frienCs of the advantag: 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. Huggins, Colonel Smith (16th Lancers), Captain Fowell, , Mr. Lambert Jones, &c. &c. Due justice having been done to the excellent dinner, which, with the wines, gave unbounded satistaction, 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. The toast was warmly responded to; as also were the fellowing:—" 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 square of the enemy in India and routed them.—(Cheers.) They had also tong 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.) tie is present, and therefore I cannot speak of him in his 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 ,hose who have subscribed to this testimonial, when 1 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 rurther 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 under 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 pre sent me with this flattering I estimonial.—(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 ollowing were the reasons which had led to its presentation. It is unnecessary for me to tell you list I entertain a deep interest in the success of the Richmond line. Many resin ced indivii.uels connected with the line thought that it could be carried out with success as an independent line— that without any con aexiun with any other, line they colli' make it a profit able undertaking. They consequently ebindontd an 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 enee 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• iisted 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 ere dit of other achievements, 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 flow 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. G WILT 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 MUSGROVE 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 the Richmond Railway with the South-Western, o: from other lines with which Mr. Chadwick was con nected; 3 et 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 sc heme se t ting it forth in glowing colours, and he swallowed the bait. — (Laughter.) Influenced in this way, he 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 calculated too highly upon the scheme, for he did not wish to blight all his (Mr. Shaw's) hopes at once. Ile went over the ground proposed to be traversed by Mr. Chadwick's suggestion, and ho 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 th a t roo m 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 thole who sought, at the expense of o ther=, to promote their own profit.—(Cheers.) He begged to propose " The health of the Chairman of the Committees, 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 p rofitable 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 i dea 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 that opportunity of asking them if they did nut think that Mr. Chadwick was the best-natured man in existence.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. SI MPsON expressed his acknowledgments. He said the large amount of the subscriptions, which were limited to a specified sum, showed the respect which wa s entertained towards Mr. Chadwick. Had no limit been assigned, he had no doubt a much larger amount would base Ineu aubooribecl. Where waa nothing Alr. Chad wick would not do to serve another.—(Cheers.) It was right to sate that the committee had teceived 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, sliowed 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 conttst, 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.)

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 ball 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, M.P., was unanimously called on to pre:ide. 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. lie was sorry in one SCDEC he had bran unable to absent himself upon that occasion, but having promited to address the Young Men's Association , he was unwillingly obliged to do so. He then proceeded to say that he had not come there to bring beforQ them that evening any new truths, but only to illustrate and en force those which they had often heard before. H e w as 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, that he would confine himself to the inculcation and illustration of principles which were purely of a practical nature. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 20, 1849. FRANCE. [The following appeared in our Third Edition of last night]:— The Evenement announces that the Committee of the Natioaal Assembly, appointed to report on the proposition of M. Plateau, relative to its dissolution, had met on Wednesday, and that, after a most animated discussion, it had unanimously resolved to reject it. The majority of the Committee, moreover, decided that the decree of the 15th December, which fixed at ten the number of the organic laws to be framed by the Assembly, should undergo no modifi cation. Le National states that, notwithstanding the greatest efforta made by the enemies of the National Assembly to obtain signatures to a petition praying for its dissolution, prepared in the department of the Calvados, which contains 150,000 electors, not more than 1,000 persons could be prevailed on to affix their names.. M. de Cormenin (Timon) is said to be preparing a reply to M. Guizot's work on democracy. The British sloop Neva was wrecked on the 11th inst., while endeavouring to enter the port of Gran ville, and six out of nine, of which her crew was com posed, unfortunately perished. The captain of the Passe-partout, of the Republican steam navy, seeing the danger to which the British sloop was exposed, dispatched a boat with seven picked men to her assistance, but unfortunately the boat was upset, and five out of the seven were drowned. A letter from Troyes, of the 16th instant, states, that on the preceding day three accidents occurred on the Montereau Railroad. In the first case no life was lost ; in the second, a cantonnier was killed ; and in the third, a passenger, who endeavoured to overtake a train, was likewise killed. It was said yesterday at the National Assembly that M. de Champvans, supported by a great num ber of colleagues, intended to address interpellations to the Ministry on the subject of the clubs. M. de Champvans, it is said, came to that determination on the ground that the Constitution, whilst guaranteeing the right of meeting only, thought of accidental or occa sional meetings, and not permanent or periodical ones, such as clubs undoubtedly are. Before, however, car rying his intention into effect, the Hon. Member in formed, it is said, M. 0. Barrot and M. Leon Faucher of his design, and added that he should call on them to suppress absolutely all the clubs, in order to give a pledge of security to the country. It is .positively affirmed that both Ministers replied to him that they intended themselves bringing in a Bill relative to the clubs, in the sense alluded to by M. de Champvans and his friends. _ _ The Constitutionnel says :—" In learning th a t th e i r trial was near at hand, the prisoners of the affair of May 15 entered on the task of choosing their defen ders. Several lawyers of the Mountain are alr ea dy designated. MM. Ledru Rollin and Theodore Bac are to defend, it is said, one Barb'es, and the other Albert ; M. de Courtais is to have M. Michael (de Bourges). As to Raspail and Blanqui they intend speaking for themselves. It is not known if M. Louis Blanc and M. Caussidiere will appear at the trial. On leaving France they said they certainly would." AUSTRIA. Accounts from Pesth of the Bth bring the follow ing atrocious proclamation which has been issued by Prince Windischgratz : " Any inhabitant who is taken with a weapon of any description in his hand will be immediately hanged. " If the inhabitants of any place should, united, dare to attack any Imperial royal military courier, any trans ports, any or single commanding officers, or to injure them in any way soever, such place shall be made level with the earth. " The authorities of the different places shall answer with their heads for the preservation of the public peace. " Prince WINDISCHGRATZ, Field- Marshal. " Head quarters, Nicola, Dec. 26th, 1848." General Bern is gone to the Bukowina from Tran sylvania by way of Bistritz, w ith the probable inten tion of getting up a revolution in Poland, which is at present naturally comparatively unprotected, all spare troops having marched under Field- Marshal Lieutenant Schlich into Hungary. It also appears that Kossuth entertains the same idea, and it is very probable that be is now on his road to Galicia across the Carpathians. There can be little doubt from the proceedings of Messaros, that if he had beaten Field-Marshal Lieutenant Schlich at Kaschan he intended to have marched into Galicia. This is the more to be presumed, as the official report of the defeat of Messaros makes mention of a Polish correspondence of great consequence having fallen into the hands of the Imperialists. In the sitting of the Diet at Kremsier on the 13th the second paragraph of the fundamental law came under discussion. This paragraph as originally pro posed was as follows : All subjects of the State are equal; the constitu tion and laws define under what conditions the rights of an Austrian subject can be acquired, exercised, and forfeited. All privileges of rank are abolished ; distinctions of nobility of all kinds are neither to be granted nor recognised by the State. Public offices and employments in the 'State are open to all subjects who may possess the necessary qualifications. Foreigners, if not naturalized, are excluded from civil employments in the State and from the National Guard. Only personal merit shall give a right to public distinctions and rewards. No distinction is hereditary: The first part of the second paragraph—" All subjects in thF State are equal," has passed in the sense that—" The whole body of subjects of the State form the people." The second part as to the abolition of the nobility is still pending. ITALY. The Contemporaneo of Rome, of the 9th instant, contains the following remarks on the excommuni cation issued by the Pope . against the Roman revo. 1 utionists : " The Liberals have never attacked the sacred principle of the Catholic religion, nor directed any attempt against the spiritual power of the Pope. Thus, the communication cannot affect them. Nor are the canons of the Council of Trent applicable to them, since they do not deprive the Pope of his temporal power, for it was the Pope himself who deserted it by abandoning his dominions. The excommunication consequently can only affect the men who advised the Pope to depart and take measures which have reduced us to the necessity of convoking a Constituent As sembly in order not to remain without a Government. When the expulsion of the Austrians was contemplated, the spiritual power flinched from the accomplish ment of a duty sacred for every Italian prince, and now, when his own temporal power is in danger, the Pope does not hesitate to appeal to his spiritual power. In order to be subjects of the Pope, we must not only renounce Italy—we must also renounce her under penalty of excommunication. Thanks to the good sense of the people, we believe that we can remain Christians, Italians, and freemen at the same time, and that the excommunication really applies to those who, having advised his Holiness to fly, and now maintaining him in an inexcusable position, expose him to lose his temporal power. Rome is tranquil, per fectly tranquil. May those words intimidate the cowards who recommended the Sovereign Pontiff to adopt such an extreme course, in order to produce a civil war, which they had hitherto vainly attempted to kindle." The Roman Ministry have abolished the laws of primogeniture by a decree, in virtue of a preceding decision of the Chambers. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. ST. JAMES'S PALACE, JAN., 1849.

Tho sinking, on the occasion first recorded, went on at the rate of twenty-four inches in 50 minutes; but the process was suspended to allow scientific men to witness its further progress on the day appointed, when the descent was continued " at the rate of 3 inches a minute, accomplishing a descent of 2 feet 2 inches in 8 minutes, when it was feared that it would disappear altogether, and the work was abruptly suspended."— The Builder. AMERICAN OFFICERS FOR THE GERMAN NAVY.— It is rumoured that Commodore Parker and Com manders Dupont, Buchanan, and Barron, of the navy. have received furloughs from the department, fur the purpose of proceeding to Europe to organize the new nary recently created by the Federal German Govern ment. Commodore Parker is to have the rank of Ad miral, and his colleagues, it is stated, that of Vice- Admiral, with the corresponding pay and emoluments. The selection of American officers to accomplish this de licate and important duty is a high compliment to our gallant little navy; and we are sure the confidence thus manifested will not be disappointed or aused. We also learn that Captain Latimer has been ordered to the com mand of the frigate Savannah, now fitting out at the Brooklyn yard. and supposed to be destined for the Pacific, as flagship. Several other officers are men tioned as being ordered to report for her by the Ist of December, but as our' information is not definite yet, we omit a list of their names. The Savannah goes to Norfolk first to be docked, and thence will carry out 200 supernumeraries to the vessels in the Pacific, whose crews, it is understood, have been greatly diminished by desertions, in consequence of the enormous bounty offered them to engage in the search for gold in California.—New York Herald. Cuaious DISCOVERY IN ROME.—The following interesting announcement forms part of a letter dated English College, Rome, Sept. 28, 1848:—" In a vineyard belonging to the chapter of St. John Lateran, some curi ous sepulchral remains have been discovered; but the series will not be altogether excavated before November. One piece represents a doorway to a temple in the forum, and even this remnant, in consequence of the name and site being inscribed on the cornice, threatens to disturb some portions of our Roman topography. As yet no ono is allowed to sketch the fragments."—Builder. GREAT FLOAT OF ICE IN THE CLYDE.—Four of the Clyde steamers could not leave Glasgow on Tuesday for the lower ports, being hemmed in at the Bromiclaw by the ice. On that day the Clyde presented au extraordinary appearance, as the whole surface of the river, from the furthest tide-way down to Renfrew, was covered with a dense mass of broken ice, crushed and tossed together . in the most confused manner, through which the steamers had great difficulty in forcing their way. In some cases it was only after repeated efforts that the tugs could move onwards through the dense ice which lay jammed in a confused mass on all sides. The ferry boats could not ply, as there was no clear water, the small runlets opened in the wakes of the steamers being immediately closed up.—Edinburgh Advertiser. FELONY BY A SURGEON.—At the Borough Court on Saturday, James Howarth, a respectably-dressed young man, who is a surgeon and chymist, in Oldham road, was placed in the dock, charged with stealing money from the house of Edward Kershaw, a railway porter, residing in Oldham-road, with whom he had lodged. It appears that Kershaw was in the habit of placing his wages in a drawer, and the prisoner had frequently seen him opening the drawer and putting in money. On the 27th of last month Howarth told his landlord that he was going to the infirmary, and did not know exactly when he should return. He accordingly lett the house, but had never returned. Kershaw, on the next evening, went to the drawer where be kept his money, but to his surprise be found that his savings, which amounted to nine sovereigns, bad all been ab stracted. He immediately gave information to the police, and the thief, after squandering the money in a brothel in Liverpool, surrendered himself, and acknow ledged the robbery. He was committed for trial at the sessions. —Manchester Courier. FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN AMERICA.—The South Carolinian thus records the " tarring and feathering" of a Scot, who dared to dispute the justice of American slavery:—" About six months ago a man by the name of Edmunds, who called himself a Scotchman, came into the lower part of the parish as a teacher, and succeeded in getting up a small school. After some time, however, it was discovered that the instruction of the rising ge neration was not his principal object, and that he avowed himself publicly an abolitionist, denounced slavery, said that it was contrary to the spirit of Christianity, &c. Our high-minded and spirited citizens waited for nothing more; and a few evenings afterwards a party of six or seven entered his schoolroom, and, without ceremony, dissolved the relations existing between the master and pupil—led him out to a convenient thicket —and substi tuted for his thin apparel a coat consisting of the inside of a pine and the outside of a goose. I will not stop here to describe the unseemly and ludicrous figure which he presented, as he wended his course up hill and down dale, until he reached his place of refuge." The next morning, it seems, the injured man applied for redress to a neighbouring justice. While he was relating his wrongs, "a few gentlemen, deputed by the citizens of the neighbourhood," rushed in, and told him that if he did not leave in five hours they would give him 39 lashes; and if he did not leave in five hours afterwards they would give him 39 more; and it he did not then leave they would put him to death by hanging I FRESH HERRINGS. FOT some weeks past there have been large shoals of herrings along the Ayrshire coast, betwixt Irvine Bar and Troon. Some days fifty boats were out from different places, even as far south as Ballantrae, and each boat has taken in from 500 to 3,000 herrings, which have been hawked through the country for a halfpenny a piece , an d a good many were sent per steamers to England. This is a very unusual occurrence, and it is thought the herrings have been driven by the recent storame their s from their accustomed courses. They generallys o m it' kßallan first appearance about six weeks after thi numbers.

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 Decem, 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 Shere 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 period, 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 lorg 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 Hamnuggur, the position of the British camp, in rending to fall on the enemy's flank and to attack their lines simultaneously 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 Share 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), that_caused the diversion to be regarded by the Seikhs, who were justly ap prehensive of a joint attack 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, for 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 through a nullah, 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 done, 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 earlier 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 Wuzeerabad, 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 from the Commander-in-Chiers camp, but none respecting Generals Thackwell and Campbell, except that they were in hot pursuit, in fantry 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 are amongst the trophies taken at the engagement, when the Shere moved out against Tha:kwell. You will see, from Lord Gough's published dispatch, why General Thackwell did not follow up the Shere at onco ; probably it wa, all for the best as things have happened and will yet tall out. There is reason to suspect, however, that Sheri Singh has already a position prepared for him some where on 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 G hoolab 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 bad 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 lloab 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 boo 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 not 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 Which, under any circumstances, was secure, and did not choose to risk the success of the troops of the Western Presidency by moving in ttetachrnents. t. There is intelligence by this mail of the invest ment ment of Attock by a large body of the Seikhs to o n the the 10th of November.

THE SANGUINARY SKIRMISH AT RAMNUGGUR. (From the Delhi Gazette, of Dec. 1.) The enemy, who h a d b een reported 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 Rdmuugger, and General Cureton was directed 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 Akalgbur (commonly written Alleepoor in the letters from camp). General Cureton went 00 with a small party to look at the village in the afternoon, and was fired upon; some of the rebel cavalry were also s( en on that occasion, but not a man after that on the 17th or 18th, though a report was then still rife that Sheila Singh hail on the 17th strengthened his force on the left bank of the Chenab. If he did so on that day, he. as a par ty th a t went c l ose up to Ramtinggur certainly withdrew all the troops to th e r i g h t b ank on the 18th, could hear nothing of them, and it was previously ascer tained that Alleepoor 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 tilt sunrise, when they were dismissed, and the tents ordered to be repitched. Her Majesty's 61st Foot reached the camp of Brigadier General Campbell on the morning of the 19th, 850 strong, and were attached to the brigade commanded by Brigadier Hoggan, who had assumed charge. Authentic information had been re ceived in the camp of Brigadier General Campbell on the 21st, then pitched at Saharun (nine miles S.S.W. of Rarneuggur, and consequently considerably to the left of Deedar Singh ka Killah, and a short distance from the camp near Akalghur), that Shere Singh had, on the 17ih 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 Thack well and Gilbert, operations would commence on the 23d, especially as Lieutenant Nicholson's Patans having siezed 12 boats at Wuzecrabad 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 sound 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 (Duncan'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 Hoggan, her Majesty's 61st Foot, 36th and 46th Native Infantry. 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 Eckford's brigade, with Captain Duncan's troop of Horse 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 appear, 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 en 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 Lane'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 Scikhs 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 tumbrils 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 done 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 for a time, the infantry being during that interim drawn up on the right. Some of the enemy being subsequently (it does not ex actly appear at what precise time this was the case, but it must lave been some time after the artillery retired) di , covertd on the lett bank of the river further down to the left, a largo number of our cavalry, amongst whom were the 31 and 14th Light Dragoons, moved down by order to dislodge them. On approach mg a body of Seikh cavalry, di awn up as if to receive them, these broke and separated to the right and left, when the I;ra:,Toons charging on were brbught up by a nullah, or ravine, full of inatchlockmen, who opened a most galling tire on the European cavalry, who were comparatively helpless, being unable to descend into the nullah. Here fell Brigaler-General Cureton, who was hot through the heart, Lieutenant-Colonel Havelock dangerously wounded, 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 put pose, 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 tire 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 M'Mahon, wounded in the neck. Captain Seudamore ' wounded. Twenty-seven men killed or missing. Twenty-two men wounded. Her Majesty's 3d Dragoons—Capt. Cautley wounded. Seven men wounded. sth Light Cavalry—Lieutenant-Colonel Alexander, right arm so much injured as to render amputation ne cessary. Was saved by the gallantry of Sergeant-Major Drinkwater. Capt. Ryley wounded; hit by a spent ball in the leg. 27 rank and file killed and wounded. Bth Light Cavalry-35 men killed and wounded. Her Majesty's 61st Foot—One man killed. Artillery—Two men killed, and several wounded. 45th Native Infantry—Ensign Hardinge, A.D.Ce wounded severely; shot through the shoulder. 12th Irregular Cavalry—Captain Holmes wounded while trying to carry off the body of General Cureton, . shot through the chest.
