FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. An article appeared in many of the papers yester day, copied from the Leeds Mercury, representing that the decisions of the Stutgard Congress have been exceedingly hostile to English interests, and insinuating, moreover, that ouiGovernment had been overreached in this matter by Prussian diplomacy. The following are stated in the paper as the alterations about to be made in the duties , upon English manu factures :- PUBLICATIONS. NEW AND CHEAPER EDITIONS. Price Sixteen Shillings, boards. ITALY.

Illustrated by 72 Vignettes, from Designs by Turner and Stothard. Edward Moxon, 44, Dover-street. " l . A small measure of duty on cotton warps. "2. English and French quincaillerie goods—that is, the hardware goods of Birmingham, &c.—will be placed under a considerably higher duty, probably an addition of not less than 50 dollars per cwt. "3, and most important. Manufactured goods of worsted, worsted and cotton mixed, fancy woven and printed, dyed and gray, are in future to pay a duty ofso dollars per cwt. The only exceptions under this head are all plain worsted fabrics,—such as merinos, saxonies, and lastings, which, together with woollen cloths and plain kerseymere, will remain at the former rate of duty, namely, 30 dollars per cwt." As this information has been very widely dissemi nated, it may be worth while to ascertain, in the first instance, the quarter from whence such ill-omened news comes, and, in the next, to see how far, if it be true, the alteration in the German tariff is likely to affect English interests. The statements in the article in question, it must be recollceto, are acknowledged to be only hearsay, inasmuch as it is admitted that the resolutions of the Congress were .not then published, and we are in duced to believe that these statements have been hastily made, from the fact that in the account whicY the Haniburgh Correspondent gives of the matter, nothing of the sort is mentioned. That paper, which it must be allowed is generally well informed on commercial subjects, upon the au thority of letters from Stutgard of the 26th of Sept., says—" The meeting of the Zoll Congress has come to a close. and the discussions have ended. The result of their deliberations is not yet known to the public with any degree of certainty, but it is generally un derstood that the duties imposed in the tariff have not been greatly altered." Now, it is singular that if so important an altera tion had been determined upon, such a complete ig norance of the fact should have existed on the spot. Official personages here connected with Germany make no hesitation in expressing their disbelief of the fact to the extent asserted. _ _ _ BANKRUPTS.

This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commence ment in 1834. In 1641 the Company declared an addition to the Share holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 2/. per Cent. per Annum, from the date of the policies to those par ties who had insured with Profits. The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scales and only a moiety need be paid for the first firs years, where the Insurance is for life. The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence ment, of the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December 1840, is as follows : Sum Assured. 'Time Assured.

The o'.Connell Tribute has lost a plumper of 1001 a year.:by.the death of the, late Master of the Rolls. This . Sum.was regularly' paid into the fund,•with the signature " Auonymbus" Chn" It may, however, be useful to make the public ac quainted with what is really known here by well-in formed people as to the intention of Prussia, as it is of the utmost consequence that the community should not be misled by the crude notions of the ignorant or the interested statements of parties who put forth such rumours to suit their own purposes, political or otherwise. We therefore call attention to the follow ing facts, which may be implicitly relied on. The duty now paid by cotton manufactures in en tering the States of the League is .50 dollars (71. 10s.) sterling per cwt. Woollen goods not fulled, and goods made of woollen mixed with cotton or worsted, pay 30 dollars (4/. 125.) ' Now the proposition of Prussia at the present con ference is, that the manufactured goods of woollen, not fulled, and of wool mixed with cotton, having designs printed upon them, shall be considered as cotton goods, liable to a duty of 7/. 10s. instead of 4/. 10s. Goods of that description, dyed only one colour, remain as in the former tariff, at 4/. 12s. per cwt. The fact is, that when the present tariff was settled, such articles were only known in the market dyed white, or of one colour. The French first introduced printed goods of the description called mousselin-de mine. England followed up the example, but pro duced an inferior description of article at a lower price. The consequence was that they gradually came into use in place of cotton goods of the same description, the more so, as the latter description of goods paid 2-sths per cent. more duty, although of less value than the mousselin-de-laine. Now the duties of the Zollverein not being levied ad valorem, a change like that here represented could not be met by a change of the official value as it would be in England.. The only remedy would, therefore, be a more correct classification according to the changed value, and this is simply the nature of the Prussian proposal. It must be recollected that as regards mousselin de-laine and other fabrics of wool mixed with cotton, the general principle of the Union tariff prescribes :h a t mixed goods are to be rated not according to the rate of the cheaper, but of the dearer material used in its fabrication. This is an exception in the present tariff which it is proposed to abolish. The proposed alteration will not, it is supposed, amount on an average to more than 10 per cent. ad valorem, instead of 7 or 8 per cent., which is the amount of the actual duty ; and the question then becomes, what quantity or amount of goods is likely to come under the operation of these altered duties ? The amount of all the manufactured goods of this description, and which comes under the head 11, title C, of the tariff; was in 1840 26,298 cwt., and in 1841 30,844 cwt., of which about two-thirds, or say 20,000 cwt., was English. Now, it should be remembered that these figures include every description of the article upon which the increased duty is proposed to be laid, as well figured and printed as plain, and if we take what we understand is really the fact, that only about one-third of the quantity was printed, and of such a description as to oome under the increased duty, it would be seen that the great outcry in the Leeds Mercury is made about an article upon which the alteration of the duty upon all exported from this country will not impose a larger sum than under 20,0001. at the utmost. It must not be forgotten that, as before stated, goods of one colour remain at the same duties as before. It should further be remarked, as a matter of fair ness towards Prussia, that the greater portion of mousselin-de-laines manufactured in Germany are the manufactures of other States, Prussia herself making but•a very small quantity of the article. We see no great reason to place more confidence in the statement of the writer in the Leeds Mercury, as regards quincaillerie, or as he pleases to call them, Birmingham goods. We repeat, there is no good ground for the assertion that any great increase is to take place in the import duties on that description of article. • We, however, have good reason to know that upon iron and iron goods generally no change will take place ;nor upon cotton twist; and we believe that, on the whole, it will be found that this country has much less cause for complaint than is anticipated by the writer in the Leeds Mercury. It will be found, when the tariff really does come out, that the alteration in the duties, and the increase upon some few articles, were but a tub thrown to the whale, to amuse the smaller States, and to prevent the imposition of heavy duties upon much more important articles being insisted on.—Correspondent of the Times. Music IN AUSTRIA.—In the schools attached to the convents music is cultivated equally with the classics and foreign languages. There are some abbeys where, besides the usual" choristers, their choir is aided by the students, novices, and professors. A military band is often united to their instrumental. music. In a life, uniform and monotonous such as theirs, where the bell and the dial regulate their every act, music may well be termed the poetic side. In the convents on the Danube every species of music is cultivated. Haydn's and Mozart's instrumental works are performed there with a degree of accuracy not to he surpassed in the drawing-rooms of Vienna. The brothers meet together several times a week for the purpose of executing these works • nor do they confine themselves exclusively to Haydn and Mozart, for their repertory is diversified with Beethoven, Spohr, Weber, Hummel, Romberg, May seder, Ries, and Fesca. They are well acquainted with, and execute with the greatest skill, foreign productions, such as the inspirations of Bocherini, Viotti, Kreutzer, Rode, Baillot, and Cle men ti.—M a inzer's Musical Times. SERIOUS AFFAlR.—Yesterday two carters belong ing to Portobello, one of them named Purves the other Fife, brought a case before the Sheriff* Small Debt Court, originating in some dispute regarding the sale or exchange of a horse. The case was de cided in favour of Fife ; which so irritated Purves, that on the way home to Portobello, towards which the parties on both sides appear to have come almost in company, he called in at Bo.'vden's public-house, in Piershill, and requested the loan of a gun and flask of powder, pretending that he was going to shoot rats. It would appear that Purves then stopped on the road to load the gun, putting in small gravel stones instead of shot ; and coming up to Fife near the Abercorn Brick and Tile-work at the entrance to Portobello, he levelled the gun and fired at him, wounding him in the left arm. Surgical assistance was immediately procured for the poor man ; and Purves was taken into custody, and brought into the town by police constable Ilome of Portobello. The matter is at pre sent under investigation.—Scotsman. TlMES.—There - can be no doubt that the statement which we now give of the produce of the revenue for the last quarter w ill greatly dis appoint the more sanguine o f our rea ders. Cer tainly a general expectation h as p re vailed that the large sum accruing from th e d u ties on corn, and the levy of the Income-t ax on t h e Midsum mer dividends, would together swell the receipt for the Michaelmas quarter to a very consider able extent. These anticipations have not been realised; and the loss occasioned by the strike in the manufacturing districts has acted so pre judically on the Excise as to have more than balanced the account. The increase under the head of customs, including the duties received on corn, is but 206,7601., and the PrUperty-tax only yields 313,844/.; while the falling off in the Excise has been 434,831/.; on the Stamps, 101,2241.; and on the Assessed taxes, 142,7331. The general result on the quarter, therefore, is a decrease, instead of a large augmentation,—though that decrease is only to the extent of 67;473/. This result tells a more fearful tale of the sufferings and privations brought upon the labouring class e s by the re cent disturbances, than any tact or statement which has yet been. - made Dublic. To this cir cumstance,,,,arl4.4,his_-4149AA0 .great and ap, palling diminution 9f7tre 'Excise duties—a di minution at the rate Of 1,800,0001. per annum, or nearly one-sixth of the whole—must be attri buted. We trust that this calamity is, now passing away, and that the next quarter's account will tell a different tale : but at present a new reason for being reconciled to the property-tax is presented to view, inasmuch as, but for the aid given by that potent but justly obnoxious engine of taxation, the state of the national finances would apparently be such as almost to exercise an evil influence on the public credit. The result of the comparison for the year is less disappointing than that for the quarter. The items of increase form an aggregate of 1,302,374/. ; those of de crease of only 946,3931. The year 1842, there fore, exceeds 1841 by 355,9811. CHRONICLE.—The revenue accounts, which we elsewhere publish, will somewhat startle our readers. The revenue for the year ended October 10, 1842, as compared with the year ended October 10,1841, exhibits an increase of 355,9811. And for the quarter ended October 10, 1842, as compared with the quarter ended October 10, 1841, there is a decrease of 67,4731. On the year there is an increase in the Customs of 171,2781., in the Post-office of 165,000/., in Miscellaneous of 477,803/. There is a decrease in the Excise of 733,4481., in the Stamps of 139,712/., in the Taxes of 62,233/., and in the Crown lands of 11,000/. This would leave an increase on the year, including the mysterious Miscellaneous, of 42,137/., but for the Property-tax, which enters into the last quarter. Most persons have been look ing to a great increase in the revenue for the quarter, on account of the quantity of corn which has been taken out at a tolerably high duty. But, even allowing for the Property-tax, which comes into play for the last quarter to the amount of 313,8441., there is, as we have seen, a posi tive decrease of 67,473/. The increase on the quarter is, in the Customs, 206,760/. ; in the Post-office, 52,000/. There is a decrease in the Excise of no less than 434,8311.; in the Stamps of 101,224/. ; in the Taxes of 142 , 733 /. Had it not been for the new tax on 'property it would have amounted to no less than 381,277/. The consumption of the people must have fearfully decreased to make the falling off in the Excise for one quarter no less than 434,831/. What an amount of destitution is here exhibited ! HERALD:—An abstract of the national in come for the quarter and year ending yesterday will be found in this day's Herald. It is perhaps more satisfactory in particular items than as a whole. The increase on the year-355,981/.—is not very considerable, and is almost entirely made up of the trifling amount-313,844/. —re ceived under the Property-tax, and the decrease —67,473/.—on the, quarter would have been per fectly insignificant had i not occurred in spite of the amount of Property-tax paid into the Trea sury. The importance of the increase-206,7601. —in the Customs duties on the quarter, is not to be estimated by the amount, because it has been produced under the operation of' consider ably reduced Customs' duties. It does not appear front this abstract that merchants refrained front entering foreign produce for consump tion, and paying duty thereon, during the discussions on the new tariff to the extent which was alleged, and the prospect of the lower import duties lately enac ted yielding a larger revenue to the Treasury than those abo lished is likely to be realis e d sooner even than Sir Robert Peel had anticipated. It will be re collected that while the new tariff was under legislative consideration we ventured to record a dissent from Sir Robert Peel's too cautious ex pectations on this very point, and certainly .the result of the last quarter is confirmatory of our dissent.. The decrease in the Excise, both for the year and the quarter, is considerable and painful, as it denotes continued suffering on the part of the labouring population. The decrease in the Assessed Taxes is, too, we fear, ascribable to the same cause. The Post-office receipts im prove slowly—very slowly. The account of this quarter's revenue is not very important, because it does not contain any heavy contribution front the Property-tax. That of the next quarter will probably afford some materials whereon to cal culate the proceeds of that source of public reve nue and individual burden. POST.—We publish in another column the usual official tables of the revenue for the year and quarter which terminated yesterday, toge ther with similar statements for the correspond ing periods which ended on the 10th of October, 1841. There is an increase in the receipts of the present year, as compared with the last, of 335,981/. ; while we regret to observe that in the last quarter there is a small diminution, arising from the circumstance that the produce of the Excise duties has fallen off to an extent for which the receipt on account of Income-tax and the increased Customs revenue from the importa tion of foreign corn have not yielded entire corn .—The official publi ca tion of the Re pensation. veGnuLe°AßcE cou nts_is looked to by men of all parties as a faithful index to the condition of the country. Th e i m petuosity of partizanship too frequently induces a disrega rd of f acts. Declamation is substituted fur argument ; and rumours, fre quently unfounded , are made to assume the character and importance of ascertained truth. The authenticated statement appears, and the de ception is detected. For this reason we abstained from giving publicity to the reports that were in circulation during the last week, respecting the fearful exhibition which the quarterlystatement of the Revenue would present. With the knowledge that an amount of duty of at least a million ster ling had been received in the Customs depart ment on the importation of corn.alone ; and that the newly-imposed Income-tax, levied on the Midsummer dividends and on the salaries of the in all the official departments, must servants must realise not less than 300,000/., we could not credit the reports which prevailed in usually well informed quarters, that the forthcoming official statement would present a .decrease in the re ceipts. The prediction was m itself so improba ble, and the motive which would h ave b een im puted to the publication of the error, should it so prove, so injurious, th at we chose rather to wait the event, than to incur. t he resp3nsibility of alarming the public apprehension s by givingaddi tional circulation to unauthenticated and impro bable reports. The official accounts have set speculation at rest; a nd we regret to state, con firmed to the fullest extent the rumours of de falcation in the public receipts, notwithstanding ived the large amount rece by the Customs during the quarter on the account of corn, and which, under the " is an accident, and not an essential ingredient of the revenue; and the amount received u nder the op erat i on o f the iniquitous and oppressive Income-tax. Despite of these appliances and_ means of incr ease , the quarter's accounts (the details of which will b.: I found in another column) present a fearful diml nution! STANDARD.—The revenue r e t urns for Vie year and the quarter respectively .:s terday, have been made up- The last d year as compared with the year preceding, presents an increase of 355,981 1 - i the last quarter, as com pared with the quarterenclitic, October 10, 1841, a decrease of 67,473/- It would be wilfully to deceive ourselves and our readers to treat this result as satisfitctorY) considered absolutely; but it is only right to say, that the appearance is worse than the truth of the circumstances warrants, and that .things might have been much worse, and, as we were proceeding up to the summer of 1841, must have become much worse. First, the comparison of the several quarters ending on the 10th of October, 1841-184'2, is a very unfavourable comparison for the, latter. The October quarter of last year embraced a general election, always. an occasion of extra ordinary expenditure, and, as will be seen by the table, exceeded. the preceding quarter by a million and a half L--the April quarter by nearly two • millions. The quarter ending yester day, on the other hand, comprised a very extensive insurrection, which, though formidable to nothing else, was certainly fiamidable to the Excise from the shape it took of a cessation from labour, and, of course, from expenditure, on the part of the insurgents, as well as from the shock which it necessarily g ave to the credit and commerce of the districtsdis turbed. These circumstances of difference will go a great way in accounting for the falling off in the last quarter, which- was mainly in the Excise, Stamps, and Taxes. There is, how ever, another, and a more important view of the state of the population suggested by the return before us. The Excise revenue, and every other Iranch of • revenue which depends upon general 6;:tiaTtUption, has. been steadily diminishing since the New Poor-law Bill came into operation. This surely cannot be the effect of accident; this surely must demonstrate to all men not utterly stupified by the nonsense of the Malthusian economists, that there is something financially wrong in the change—something that affe.qs injuriously classes which once imagined themselves secure from the reflection of blows administered to mere labourers—classes that lately would feel indignant at the hypothesis of any supposed identity between their in terests and the interests of the poor. There is another important fact established by the '. late returns, to which we invite the attention of l i those Conservatives who have been disposed to cavil at Sir Robert Peel's financial system, and. more particularly at the Property-tax. It is easy to say that a Property-tax is burdensome, inquisitorial, humiliating, though none can pre tend that is unjust; but easy as it is to quarrel with the accidents of this, ,which is, in its essence, the most just of all forms of taxa tion, still the plain blunt question re mains, what was the Minister to do? Every man who has the use of his eyes, and of his reason, must see from the tables be fbre us that the limits of indirect taxation (see the Excise returns) had been passed, and that the limits of such quasi indirect taxation as the Assessed Taxes had been, at least, arrived at. What resource, then, had the Minister, if it was not a Property-tax •He might, no doubt have imitated the attempt of the late Ministers, and of the swindlers whose exploits supply the poi lice reports, by wriggling for a few years from scheme to scheme, " victimising," as the phrase is,, :one . interest after another, but in the end it must come to this—a Property-tax, and a Property-tax not like the present, in aid of many other sources of revenue, but a Property-tax commensurate with the whole national expendi ture ; and such a Property-tax we need not say would ultimately resolve itself into a contribu bution from capital, and not from income. This the proprietary classes themselves must admit, if they cannot show some source of indirect taxa tion that would supply the growing deficiency in the public income. MONEY MARKET and Cl i tY NEWS• FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The English stocks, though evincing little activity, have improved a shade, the news from India, now well considered, being believed to be of a character well calculated to remove the impression of the ultimate ill-success of our arms in Affghanistan. India Stock has also recovered, and Exchequer bills present an improved appearance ; altogetherthe market closed this afternoon firm and satisfactory. It has been officially announced that gr. Burdekin, the Managing Director of the Bank of Manchester, has absconded. No blame is attached to the Direc tors for having in the first instance appointed him Manager of the bank, but the whole evil is attributed to his having subsequently become a Director also, which of course made him at once a master and servant in the same institution—a position of almost unlimited power, and which never ought to be tolerated in any Joint-Stock Company. It is now time to advert to a circular from "a Shareholder" of the Bank of Manchester to his associates, which has been before us for some days, but which, as it is anonymous, and as it reflects severely upon Mr. Burdekin, we did not think it right to advert to before. The " Shareholder" calls attention to the present position of the Company, which for some time has paid no dividend, and the shares of which are now unsaleable at 31., while 101. have been paid upon them. The losses of the bank, according to this cir cular, amount to 700,0001., of which 170,0001. was advanced to Messrs. Joseph Raleigh and Co., since bankrupts. This advance the " Shareholder" con siders to have been perfectly unjustifiable ; and he says there is no reason for surprise that the London agents, Messrs. Denison and Co., should have refused to accept the drafts of the bank. He therefore urges that at the next meeting the dismissal of Mr. Burde skin and others should be insisted on, and that disin terested persons, of high standing, should be appointed to audit the accounts, and search into the quality and amount of the remaining assets. No reliance, he thinks, can be placed in the statements of interested parties, who are in the receipt of large salaries, and who must naturally be inclined to carry on the bank, even to the absolute ruin of the Shareholders. This circular is dated the 15th ult. From all that transpires respecting the investiga tion now going on into the Custom-house frauds, there is every reason to believe that the inquiry is not carried on with that caution which the importance of the case deserves. The testimony of one of the wit nesses who was himself engaged in the fraud, but who saved himself from the consequences by giving evidence against his companions, is said to be taken without reserve, though it it obvious that such testi mony should be most rigidly scrutinized. Every day it is said there are new v►ctims by his word alone; for as the charges he brings forward extend over a period of five years, it is found impossible even for an innocent man to disprove them. It is even reported that a few days ago a landing-waiter was suspended merely upon the version which the witness gave of a conversation held four years ago. The greatest alarm is felt among the different officers in the Custom house, for not only can they feel no security while evidence is so unscrupulously taken, but it seems that matters are so managed that the informing party makes a profit of his informations, and is therefore in terested in making them as numerous as possible. If these evils exist to such an extent as is thus reported, it is surely an argument against the Board being a close Court. SUSPECTED CASE OF MURDER AND ROBBERY AT CARDIFF. The neighbourhood of Bute-street and places ad jacent have been greatly excited in consequence of the death of Captain Carter, whose body was found on Sunday morning last, in an erect position, between the lock gates under the railway-bridge, crossing the new cut at the bottom of Bute-street. The singularity of the position of the body (being nearly midway be tween the two gates, and therefore centrally erected in the lock,), together with the finding of a pocket book outside the dock, gave rise to reports that the deceased had been murdered, robbed, and thrown in. Two boatmen, the one named Thomas Davies, and the other John Richards, alias John Moss, were taken into custody under suspicion of knowing something of this tragical event, but were both discharged on Monday, at an inquest before Lewis Reece, Esq., Co roner, held at the Bute Arms, in Bute-street, on Mon day morning. The body of deceased was examined, and found to be perfectly free from any external bruises or wounds. After the Coroner's recapitulation of the evidence, the Jury returned the following verdict :—" We find, from the evidence adduced, that the unfortunate de ceased was drowned in the junction between tlie new and old canal, but how or by what means he came there we have no reason to adjuge, otherwise than by accident. We fully concur, however, in the mys serious and suspicious appearanc es touching the ab tence of the money known to have been in his posses sion prior to his death, and consider there is every probability of his having been robbed."

The following Notification, issued by the Governor- General of India, has been this day received at the East India House : NOTIFICATION. Allahabad, Aug. 11, 1842. The Right Hon. the Governor-General is pleased to direct the publication of the following letter from Maj or- General Pollock, and of the report from Brigadier Mon teath, of the successful operations of the force under his command in the Shinwaree Valley. By order of the Right Hon. the Governor-General, T. H. MADDOCK, Secretary to the Government of India with the Governor-General.

Sir—l have the honour to forward herewith a copy of my letter to the Adjutant-General of the Army of this date, fora arding copies of letters and other documents from Brigadier Monteath, reporting the result of an at tack on the enemy in the Shinwaree Valley. The loss sustained by the enemy must have been con siderable, for in a letter which one of the chiefs addressed to Captain M•Gregor on the 28th instant, he states that they were still burying their dead. The effect in the whole valley by such a complete defeat 91 the Shinwarees, and the destruction of so many of their forts, will be pro ductive of the most beneficial effects.—l have, &c. G. POLLOCK, Major-General. Commanding Troops West of Indus. FROM MAJOR-GENERAL POLLOCK, C. 8., TO MAJOR-GENE- RAL LUMLEY, ADJUTANT-GENERAL OF THE ARMY Camp, Jellalabad, July 29, 1842. Sir—l have the honour to forward for the information of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief a copy of a letter, dated Camp, Mazeena, 27th instant, from Brigadier Monteath, C. 8., commanding the troops in the Shinwaree Valley, together with copies of the documents to which it refers. Although the loss of the enemy on this occasion has not been stated by Brigadier Monteath, I have every reason to believe, from authentic sources, it has been considerable. One of the chiefs, Shadoo, had a nephew and a first cousin killed in the action, and another chief, Hoosain, also lost a son. , The enemy were busily employed during the afternoon of the 26th in burying their dead, and on the . day subse quent to the engagement the Shinwaree chiefs sent into camp to express their willingness to pay the revenue. I have, &c. G. POLLOCK, Major-General. FROM BRIGADIER MONTEATH, C. 8., COMMANDING FIELD FORCE, TO CAPTAIN PONSONBY, ASSISTANT ADJUTANT. GENERAL. Camp, Mazeena, July 27, 1842. Sir—l have the honour of addressing you to state for the information of Major-General Pollock, C. 8., that in accordance with the intention expressed by me in my letter of the 24th inst., I marched out yesterday morning at daylight to attack the enemy with the following troops and guns : Five 9-pounders, one 24-pounderliowitzer, 50 Sappers and Miners, one squadron I st L i g ht Cavalry, seven com panies her Majesty's 31st Regiment, seven companies 33d N. 1., seven companies 53d N. 1., and Ferris's corps of dezailchees. As the road into the enemy's country was nearly im practicable for loaded animals, and we must have lost a great many camels had I attempted to move with our baggage, I resolved on returning to my present position after the operations I had in view had been concluded ; ziment, ditt o Infantry, t h ere f o re, having compr essed the cam p as much as pos sible by striking a p ortion of it, and collectin g the te nts n and baggage on one s p ot, I left it in char g e of Major Hewitt, 33d Regiment, with the following troops:_ Two companies of her Ma j est y 's 31st 33d Native Infantry , ditto 53d Native sq uadrons of light cavalry , 50 Jezailchees, : d ntry, two 100 of Torabaz Khan's men. ' On the troops gaining the left ridge of the Shi nwaree Valley, which was the most practicable, the enemy re tired Lieutenant n a g l in d ee l rs with the sappers and Ir e e ee d he o r u , t of o t f he tli c e o ir rps fo o r f ts E , s o e f t fi s r eo e u to nd t e h r em K , h w an h , ic a li t he did in succession up th the head of the valley, ni to ie th ere efo te r t the force moving parallel alongat the ne time the interiors of 3 5 protec tion of the party. Thus, e ridge for the templating the scene fromgth valley, the enemy con forts were in a blaze along Seconder Khan's fort, where they had in t a t k h e e n vi p c o in si i ti ty on o s f , apsty s ere driven in gallant style by the c w o h n e s n is ee tin t z he o y f andadvance, from lies Qf h er lit . the , Light and two battalion Com p3lstregiment, the light cow- Having effected everything in the way of destruction s I I caused . two companies of the 53d Regiment to be ex tended along a ridge below that from whence the ad vance had driven the enemy, and of which it remained in possession. In rear of the companies of the 53d &com pany of the 33d was extended along the top of another ridge, and in. the rear of that company, on a higher ridge, two guns were placed in position, to aid in cover ing the retirement of the advance from the enemy, who were all ready to attack them, as soon as they should commence their descent from the heights. On these ar rangements being completed, the recal was sounded to the advance, and I am happy to say, the whole joined the main body, without a single casualty occurring. Major Skinner's party being exceedingly fatigued, for the heat had been excessive and the labour great, I di rected them to fall in with the main column, and ordered out two companies from each of the three regiments to cover our retrogression homewards. These were formed into two parties, and extended across the ridge in two lines of skirmishers. In rear of the second line I placed two guns, with a company of her Majesty's 31st Regi ment flanking each of them, also a party of forty cavalry, g and a line of s ki rm i s h ers was t h rown out alon the whole right fl a nk o f th e co l umn to t h e e d ge o f the ridge (where the ground from its broken character was most favourable for the enemy), and which communicated with the rear line of the covering force placed under the command ofLieutenant-Colonel Bolton, of her Majesty a 31st Regiment, at his own solicitation. In this order we retired seven miles and a-half over as bad a road as can well be supposed, and although I had anticipated loss and great annoyance from the enemy thronghout the march, yet it seemed as if they had had enough, as their attacks were languid and remarkably cautious throughout, and 1 am rejoiced to say, that at half-past three p.m. we arrived in camp without loss or injury cif any kind. . . It gives me great pleasure to record the zealous con duct of kite troops generally, arid the cheerful and praise worthy manner in which the . soldiers of her Majesty's 31st Regiment labouredto drag the guns up such places as the horses, notwithstanding their unequalled qualities, were incapable of doing. ' Herewith 1 beg to enclose Major Skinner's report, and I can myself bear ample testimony to the pliant cntie • '1,11e1,-0, ;shelf,_and those under his _commandi and, I should be unjust were I not to say that tiill-40tidtiet a of Captain Ferris, his native. commandant , Ryder Ali n , nd the whole corps ofJczailchees was highly distiuguished. My thanks are are very justly due to Lieutenant-Co lonel Bolton, lux. Majesty's 31st Regiment, for the able manner in which lie conducted the duties of coveting the retirement of' the force, and particularly so to Major Skinner, for the zealous and gallant manner in which he led theOvanee against the enemy ;—to Captain Ferris, fur the gallant manner in which, with his corps of Jezail chees, he drove the enemy from their position on the heights ;—to Captain Abbott and Lieutenant Dawes, for the very successful practice of the guns ;—to Lieutenant I3eecher, for the zealous and satisfactory manner in which he, with the detachment of Sappers and Miners, con structed a road For the guns, and fired the enemy's forts in the valley ; and to Lieutenant Lugard, her Majesty's 31st Regiment, Major of Brigade ; Lieutenant Alayne, Assistant-Quartermaster-General ; Captain Lloyd, Sub- Assistant-Commissary-General ; and Captain Robert son, Field Engineer, for the assistance afforded me by them in the field. I have also to express my thanks to Captain M'Gregor, Political Agent, who, when the opportunity offered itself , served with the guns.

FROM MAJOR SKINNER TO BRIGADIER MONTEATH, C.B. 'Camp, Mazeena, 27th July, 1842. Sir—l have the honour to report to you, that when the advanced guard, composed of the following details, viz. :—the eight light companies of the brigade, with two battalion companies of her Majesty's 31st Regiment, and the corps of Jezailchees, reached the crest of the ridge over which the main column was moving abous eight o'clock A.M., I observed the enemy posted in small bodies upon the different heights and ridges in my front, while several parties occupied gardens and broken walls at the foot of the line of hills I was upon, above the valley on the right hand s A sharp fire was opened upon the line of skirmishers, who quickly advanced and drove the enemy off. The corps of Jszailchees swept the front, the left hills were cleared by the -light company of the 31st Foot ; and the light csinpanY of the 33d Native Infantry on the right .4.ltirmished throughout that part of the valley nearest the ? rialge : the remaining companies were in support. We advanced to Sectinder Khan's Fort " Muriaz' over very broken and difficult country, with frequent descents and ascents, the enemy sometimes keeping up a good fire, but always abandoning the lines of heights as we ascended, and falling back to others. I halted at Seciinder Khan's Fort...from which ti few-shots were fired as we advanced, When it was evacuated.. This fort hangS over a narrow valley on the right hand, fields of rice in many parts of it now under water. A seiriq;virSrcilifilitge lie the midst of this valley was occupied by the enemy, and commanded the post among trees at the foot of the fort, which I wished to hold ; the enemy was soon driven off the first part of the ridge, and fell back to a higher peak, from which it became also necessary to drive them ; this was done by the Jezail chees under Captain Ferris in very good style, who held it till withdrawn. At the head of the valley in whis;h we now were, stands a high hill with a fort upon its summit, a considerable distance off. All the ridges from wi.ich - the enemy bad been driven appear to draw to a point at this fort, and their retreat was always towards it. Many men were collected there, and large parties were sent out to my right ; this induced me to draw the companies of the 31st Foot on the left tearer to me. The enemy soul) appearing on the stunnui: of a hill above my left, however, I sent one company of the 31st Regiment to drive him away and occupy the hill. This duty was re markably , well performed by Captain Blur shall, of her-Majesty s 31st Regiment, whose company was employed upon it. The enemy retreated with soma loss, and took up another position under cover of it sungah or breastwork of stone within shot. He was driven from it with great gallantry byy . Lieut. M•llveen, of the 31st Regiment, and a party of No. 7 Company of that corps. Lieut. M'llveen, a very promising young officer indeed, was, I regret to say, killed in this assault upon the sungele A narrow valley of rice fields, completely swamped, separated the ridge, on which my right was, from two small forts ; a garden at one end of the rice valley below the ridge towards the first of the two forts was held by the light company of the 33d Native Infantry ; the enemy descended from a high line of sand hills, and occupying these two forts, annoyed my position a good deal. He was driven from them by the light company and part of NO. 6 of the 31st Regiment, who had no other ground to advance on but the narrow ridges that di vided the terraces of rice ; they moved along these under a sharp fire, and drove the enemy from his position. I occupied these forts, and leaving Brevet Major Urmston, of the 31st Regiment, in command of the post, ceased from further operations. None of the forts I have men tioned were tenable by the enemy, the walls were breached in many places by the earthquake in February last. When I was ordered to fall back on the main body, about half-past one p.m., Major Urmston retired in good order (followed at a distance by the enemy, who had fired constantly into the forts when we occupied them) over the difficult ground behind him, having set fire to the villages within the two forts before he left them. The advanced guard, being collected together above Secunder Khan's fort, joined the main column. I have great pleasure in assuring you that, during several hours of the most active operations over the difficult country we were iii; - every officer and man under my command behaved adinirably.—l have, &c., THOMAS SKINNER, Major, her Majesty's 31st Regiment. thet.

Colonel was the pro' perty of the late Mr. Ardern, of Penketh, Lancashire, and well known in the county for twenty miles round, the gamest of the game. On Saturday he was taken out to educate two young'uns. A very fine hare was found near home, and the younkers slipped.
