The Honourable the President in Council is pleased to direct, under the instructions of the Right Hon. the Governor-General, that the following resolution of his Lordship and Report of the Finance Committee be published for general information : RESOLUTION BY TILE RIGHT HON. THE GOVERNOR GENERAL OF INDIA. FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT. ALLAIIABAD, AUG. 7. The Governor-General has much pleasure in offer ing to the Members of the Committee of Finance, appointed on the 23d of June, his grateful acknow ledgments of the zeal, the industry, and the ability they ha-•e manifested in the preparation of their first Report. In transmitting the Report to the Court of Direc tors,. the Governor-General has not failed to call their attention to the merits of the officers from whom it has proceeded. The Governor-General remarks, that the contingent charges of Bengal and the North-western Provinces for 1840-41, as found by the Committee, after ex clud'ing all expenditure and advances on account of the 'wars in Affghanistan and China, still exceed the corrbsponding charges for 1830- . 3l._by Company's Rs. 40,27,718-0-o—a sum which the Committee justly observe leaves ample ground for inquiry and report. The Governor-General concurs in the observation of the Committee, that " contingent disbursements are of all others those which most elude general rules or fixed principles. Their amount is ever varying with the necessities of the moment, the temper of the disbursing, or the activity of the controlling, officer. The first cause may not admit of regulation, but the two latter are open to influence and to correction." The Governor-General accedes to the recommenda tion of the Committee, that a circular letter be ad dressed to each disbursing and controlling officer, pointing out the importance of extreme attention to this subject, and enjoining the observance of scrupu lous care in the admission of each item, and his Lord ship directs that this letter shall be so circulated, par ticipating in the hope expressed by the Committee, that the exertion of each person, though in itself yield ing a small result, will, combined with that of others, produce an aggregate of some importance in its bear ing on the public expenditure. The Governor-General earnestly requests the se veral officers entrusted with the expenditure and con trol of the public money to c msider that a sum saved by real economy is of more value to the State than the same sum added to the revenue ; for the object of a good Government is to extend the largest amount of benefit at the smallest cost to the people. The Governor-General desires to see all the ser vants of the State in the enjoyment of emoluments suited to their stations, and sufficient to maintain them in those stations with re Tectability and comfort. His Lordship further earnestly desires to see those who by their superior zeal and exertions may justly raise themselves to the more eminent stations in the public service, possess such higher emoluments as may not only conduce to their own prosperity in life, but be a perpetual excitement to others to distinguish themselves by similar merits. But his Lordship must express his conviction that in no country, and least of all in India, can the means of effecting these salutary objects be placed within the reach of Government unless, by the general co-opera tion of those entrusted with the disbursement and control of the public money, rigid but well considered economy be introduced into all departments. The Governor- General will deem it to be amongst his most satisfactory duties to mark by promotion those who, otherwise fit for the public offices to which they aspire, may have distinguished themselves by their judicious vigilance over the expenditure under their control ; and his Lordship will not fail to mark by substantial proofs of his displeasure all who may evince a disregard of public economy. (Signed) ELLENBOROUGH. FROM THE COMMITTEE OF FINANCE FOR THE PRESI DENCY OF BENGAL TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD ELLEN• BOROUGH, GOVERNOR-GENERAL.OP INDIA, &C. Allahabad, Aug. 6, 1842. My Lord-4n entering on the investigation en, 3. We have, however, experienced great difficulty in the first step of this operation. The statement is based on a comparison of the civil auditors' books in the early years. But the arrangement of these books in the early part of the period is very different from what it is in the latter. A great change has interme diately taken place in the organisation of the Govern ment ; Bengal and the North-western Provinces have been separated from each other in all matters of local Government. 4, The accounts as well as the administration have been divided ; and, though a general uniformity of system and arrangement has been maintained, yet the divergence is sufficient to require great labour and care, if anything approaching to, an accurate compa rison is to be instituted. 5. This circumstance, added to our separation at :his station from the trained establishments and volu- ruinous records of the offices of audit and account, both at Agra and Calcutta, have baffled our attempts to follow the course which via would have most ap proved. _ _ 6. If, therefore, we hoped to accomplish anything during the brief period of your Lordship's stay in this part of the country, and consequently of our remain ing united, it was evident that we must adopt some other plan which, though less complete and certain, was yet calculated to produce results in themselves valuable, and would enable us to turn to best account the means of local information here available, and at the same time so dispose our work that it might be prosecuted by separate parties when we ceased to co operate on the same spot. 7. The disbursements of the political department we are separating from those of the general, in which they are now merged. These, as being connected with the Supreme Government of British India, and coming more immediately under your Lordship's eye, will form the subject of a separate report. 8. We have also taken the civil auditor's books of 1840-41 for the North-western Provinces, and entered upon an examination of the items of civil expenditure which they contain. 9. For purpose of comparison it was necessary to assume a date, so far back as to be prior to the great organic changes in the Government, occasioned by the Charter of 1833, because we could not otherwise rightly appreciate the effect of those changes. We, therefore, took the books of 1830-31, and endeavoured to select from them the corresponding items to those in the books of 1840-41, for the North-western Pro vinces, so far as the two could be brought to corres pond. The comparison will sometimes be only of totals, and will sometimes extend to details, accord ing as the changes may be greater or smaller. 10. At the conclusion we hope to bring the totals together so as to agree with the entries in the resolu tion, and furnish the full report wh i ch is expected at our hands. 11. We have thus already completed a report on the civil salaries, in the judicial, revenue, and customs department. 12. We are making progress in a further report on the establishments in the same department. 13. The subject of contingencies has been brought particularly to our attention m paragraph 5 of your Lordship's resolution, and we have been anxious to enter upon its con s id e r a ti o n as soon as possible ; but here we have found our materials peculiarly defective. 14. We were first compelled to call upon all public officers for the originals or copies of their contingent bills for a few years. The three last were those we selected. But the civil auditor's books, which are the basis of the entries under this head in paragraph 5 of the resolution, give only the average m onthl y dis bursements of each office, and we have found it im possible to reconcile the averages with the bills them selves, from want of information of the precise grounds on which the averages are struck, and from the labour which would necessarily attend the verification of all the items, when the process of their reduction is known. The reconciliation might, no doubt, be effected in time, but the object does not seem worth the trouble it would occasion. 15. We have considered it more expedient to retain the civil auditor's totals, merely for the purposes of comparison, and to proceed to an examination of the bills themselves, without attempting to reconcile them with the civil auditor's returns. We hope from this examination to attain a f res h tota l no t far differing t from hi s newth of totalthewill civil auditor.he tthoroughly The hlyna several to show what items admit o f re d uc tion, and what ed, parts so aof s do not, and how the corresp on di ng charges in diffe rent parts of the country,unde r s i m il ar circumstances, stand. We may hence be abl e t o d e duce rules and u gal and principles which may assist in keeping this branch of the public expenditure within moderate bounds. Our inquiry may then enable oss to estimate the fu ture average monthly disbursement; and the contrast of this with the averages formerly obtained from the civil auditor's books, will afford a test of the success of the operation. 16. With this view we present the result in an ap pended table. It will be hence seen that two very large items, amounting together to 31,27,250, are du on account of Caubul and China advances, and ar e properly war charges. The deduction of these brings the total for 1840-41, from 84,35,855, to 53,08,605. This, however, only includes the charges in Bengal proper, to which alone the m arg i na l en try in para graph 5 of the resolution has reference. There is, over and above this, an item of 24,63,830, occasioned by contingent disbursements in 1840-41. The total then with which we have to deal is 1,08,89,655, or, excluding China and Caubul, 77,62,405. The charge corresponding to which in 1830-31, as entered in the civil auditors books, was only 37,34,687, which still leaves ample ground for inquiry and report. 17. We are now applying ourselves to separate from these totals the contingencies in the political de partment, and more especially to examine this class of charges in" the North-western Provinces, where local experience and situation will facilitate research. But we are hopeless of being able to effect much good as regards the Bengal contingencies. We cannot be expected to have any familiarity with the details of the Calcutta customs, salt, opium, and marine depart ments, whilst the organisation and circumstances in the judicial and revenue, and several branches of the general department, are so different from what are found in this part of the country, that without the co operation of officers of experience at the Presidency, we should be slow to apply to the former principles which we can unhesitatingly adopt in the latter. 18. But whilst we remit no exertion in the prose cution of the course detailed above, we would take leave to point out a method by which some immediate reduction may be effected, and in the enforcement of which there need be no delay. 19. Contingent disbursements are of all others those which most elude general rules or fixed prin ciples. Their amount is ever varying with the neces sities of the moment, the temper of the disbursing, or the activity of the controlling officer. The first cause may not admit of regulation, but the two latter are open to influence and to correction. 20. We would recommend that a circular letter be addressed from the head of the Government to each disbursing and controlling officer, pointing out the importance of extreme attention to this subject, and enjoining the observance of scrupulous care in the admission of each item. We would hope that the exertion of each person, though in itself yielding a small result, would together produce an aggregate of some importance in its bearing on the public expen diture. 21. We would only further observe that if the suggestion contained in the conclusion of paragraph 17 be approved, we would hope that we may have the benefit of similar co-operation at the Presidency in our inquiries regarding Bengal civil salaries and es tablishments. We have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) T. H. MADDOCK. F. CURRIE J. THOMASON C. J. MANSEL J. STUART.

His Lordship travelled in his over, carriage, and was followed in a Palkee gharee (a carriage formed by placing a palanquin on four wheels) by his pri vate secretary, Captain Durand. Mr. Maddock pre ceded his Lordship by one day, and the other secre• taries (Colonel Stuart and Mr. Mansell) followed on the following days. The reception of his Lordship at Cawnpoor is said, by a correspondent of the Agra Ukhbar, to have been ungracious. He set out, it appears, with the firm determination of declining all private interviews, a resolution which, though it can not but contribute to the avoidance of much trouble, has at the same time the bad effect of depriving the Governor-General of a mass of useful information to be obtained from the official persons residing in the country through which he may be passing. At Cawnpoor he was the guest of General Sir Joseph Thackwell ; at Allyghur, of Mr. Tierney, the Judge ; at Meerut, of Mr. Franco, the Commissioner ; and at Kurnaul, of General Fast. A dinner was given to his Lordship at Meerut, by the officers of H.M.l6th Lancers, followed by an evening party at Mrs. Franco's, which was very fully attended. A party was attempted at Kurnaul, but in consequence of the Governor-General's anxiety to push on, he declined the offer in ths: first instance, and when in the course of the day it was found the quantity of rain rendered it impossible for him to start it appeared that there was not sufficient time to make the necessary prepa rations. Ile left Kurnaul on elephants, as if deter mined to try every mode of travelling, and reached Sitnlah on the 10th. Two members of his Lordship's personal staff, Captain Somerset, Military Secretary, and Captain Hillier, Aide-de-Camp, have proceeded in the most rapid manner available to join General Pollock's force in Affghanistan. THE CAUBUL PRISONERS AND HOSTAGES. We regret to have to chronicle the death of one of the unfortunate hostages left at Caubul when the army commenced its disastrous retreat. Rumours of the ill-treatment by Zeman Khan of Captain John Conolly had sometime since reached us, but we be lieve that his death, which we have now to record was not accelerated by the treatment, to which he is said to have been exposed. It is asserted he fell a victim to an attack of brain fever, after having paid a visit to Lady Macnaghten at the fort in which she is confined with the other prisoners removed from Lugh man to Caubul by Mahomed Akbar Khan. It is reported that the Sirdar offered to send the remains of the deceased to General Pollock's camp in order that the nature of his death might be satisfactorily as certained, but this it appears was not deemed neces sary. Of the prisoners and hostages generally very favourable accounts have been received, and we sin cerely trust that the next mail will carry home the ardently looked for news of the whole of the prisoners and hostages having been released by the advance of Generals Pollock and Nott. THE CAUBUL PRISONERS. (From the Delhi Gazette of Sept. 21.) Amongst the items mentioned in our letters from Jellalabad, is the almost incredible report that Armen Oola Khan, the chief of Logur, one of the principal insurgent chiefs, and the contriver of Shah Soojah's death, had arrived from Caubul in General Pollock's camp, and offered his services. We much regret to learn, on what we deem good authority, that all the prisoners have been removed from Caubul towards the Hindoo Koosh, with the exception of Captains Troup and Bygrave, who are still with Akbar Khan at Caubul, and Captains Eyre and Anderson, whose families are too ill to be re moved.- Dr. Campbell is also left in the capital to attend to the sick. Should this prove true, and, we are sorry to say our information is so pre cise as to leave but little doubt of the matter, there are but slender hopes of the speedy re lease of our poor countrymen. The only hope on which we can build for the present is founded on the resolution, said to have been come to by the Gover nor-General, to act by . the members of Dost Maho med's family in India in a summary method, and at once send them off to England via Bombay. The horror with which the communication of this deter mination is said to have been received at Loodianah, is, we trust, an earnest that the threat will have the desir2d effect. The Dost will, of course, accompany the younger branches of his family, in the event of this determination being carried into effect, and of this there is little doubt, unless the speedy restoration of our prisoners should prevent its execution. Cap tain Mills, officiating assistant to Mr. Clerk, at Loo dianah, announced the intention of Government to the detenus there, only the evening before what may be deemed authentic intelligence of the removal of our countrymen reached that station. Our informa tion says that the official notification took the Aff ghans quite aback, and that they stood perfectly aghast. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. (From 27th August to Ist October, 1842.)

Wukaaeutittiled gentlemen are admitted to the CASTING CANNON.—The Emperor, in a personal interview with the high officers of the army in Che keang, has ordered them to make strenuous exertions, for the erection of foundries and the casting of can non, at some eligible place, and that the guns be sent with flying dispatch to Chekeang. IMPERIAL PRESENT OF SHOES.—It has hitherto been the usual custom for the Emperor annually to present a handsome pair of shoes to all the high mili tary officers of Mantchow Tartary. This year his Majesty publishes that only one half of the said offi cers will be thus distinguished. THE LATE COMMISSIONER YUICEEN.—The imperial will has been declared that' the demise of Yukeen having taken place, his son shall be rewarded with a mandarin's cap button. No allusion is made to the circumstances of Yukeen's death, nor is the precise rank stated to which his son is promoted. THE CURRENCY.—Owing to the high price of silver in Shan-se province the Emperor has forbidden the further coining of copper cash in that province for the period of one or two years. REBELLION IN Hoorn' PROVINCE.—The result of the rebellion in Hoopih five months ago was the get ting of entire possession by the insurgents of the cities of Sung Yang and Tungshan, which are situated in departments of the same name in the north-west part of the province. A recent, gazette states that a large body of imperial troops had just entered the disaffected districts, attacked the rebels, routed them and recovered the cities. There were several thousands of the insurgents, and a large number was killed and wounded. Hoopih is one of the central provinces of China, covers a large extent of territory, isrdensely populated, and has long been famed for its wealth and men of letters. It is bounded on the north by the province of Honan, on the east by Ganhwuy, on the west by Szechun, and on the south by Hoonan. PEKIN.—The governor of Chihle represents to the Emperor the great importance of still larger appro priations being made for strengthening the fortifica tions both on the east and the west of the Imperial province in order to check all advances of the (Yth E) " rebellious barbarians." CHEKEANG.—The Governor lays before the Em peror a detailed statement of the number, &c., of all the officers civil and military , who have served in Chekeang, the seat of war, during the past year : he notices Ist, those who had been newly put in office ; 2d, those who had been long employed ; 3d, those who had left the province being either expelled or had left to take office elsewhere ; and 4th, those who had died. REDELLION.—Some of the wild tribes north of Sze-Chuen province were excited to rebellion by cer tain " foreign barbarians," dwelling on the Chinese frontiers. Being urged to throw off the Chinese yoke, they arose and committed great depredations. The Gazette states that an imperial force was dispatched to the said region, and after putting forty of the insurgent chiefs to death, brought all the dis affected to submission, among which was one " fo reign barbarian," who agreeing to yield to the im perial authority, was graciously permitted to remain uninjured. CANTON.—A physic store in Canton city was burned down; consuming four persons in. the flames. The Emperor is indignant at such inexcusable careless ness, and orders the individual in charge of the dis trict, a Mandarin of the sixth rank, to be forthwith disgraced from his office. INDIAN DISPATCHES. (From Last Night's Gazette.) INDIA BOARD, Nov. 8, 1842. The following notifications, issued by the Governors General of India, have this day been received at the East India House : NOTIFICATION.—SECRET DEPARTMENT. Kurnaul, Sept. 3, 1842. The Right Hon. the Governor-General of India has directed the publication of the following copy of a dis patch from Major-General EnglFul, K.H., dated the 19th ultimo. By order, &c. T. H. MADDOCK, Secretary to the Government of India, with the Governor-General. FROM MAJOR-GENERAL R. ENGLAND, K.H., TO T. H. MADDOCK, ESQ. Camp, near Killa Abdoolla, Aug. 19. Sir—l have the honour to report for the information of the Right Hon. the Governor-General in Council, that the British force at Candahar having evacuated that city on the 7th and Bth, I moved from my encampment near its walls on the 10th, pursuant to instructions, with the detachment under-mentioned, en route to Quettah, and that I arrived on this ground yesterday :—One troop late Shah's Horse Artillery; seven guns, drawn by bul locks; two Ressallahs Irregular Horse; one ditto Poona ditto; 25th Bombay Native Infantry; late Light Batta lion ditto ; Ist, 2d, and sth Regiments late Shah's Infantry. 2. It was communicated to me on the 9th and subse quently that the insurgents were preparing to attack the column and convoy under my charge in its passage, and especially that they would make efforts to intercept it in the strong country of the Kojuck range, at the northern extremity of which I arrived with little molestation on the morning of the 16th. 3. Whatever might have been the intentions of the enemy, it was ascertained by reconnoitring that the highest points of the mountain were not yet occupied by them, and I thought it right, therefore, notwithstanding that the troops had just completed a night march of twenty-four miles, to push forward a light column to seize the summit at once. 4. This operation was perfected by three battalions, and the most important ridge and all the peaks com manding the principal passes were gained by the troops before dark. 5. On the following morning the insurgents began to appear in small bodies on different hills, but the route being flanked they did little mischief, and the baggage, artillery, and immense retinue under the protection of this camp, including nine or ten thousand beasts of bur den, began the ascent, covered by a rear-guard of two battalions and the cavalry, and I was soon made aware of our good fortune in having seized the heights on the previous evening, for the number of the enemy gradually increased, but all their efforts to ca p ture the baggage, or indeed to interrupt us to any serious extent, were frus trated, and the passage across the Kojuck mountains may be said to have been perfected by noon on the 18th. 6. I have had the highest reason to be gratified with the exertions of all the officers and troops on this occa sion, and it is entirely owing to their incessant efforts in duties of great fatigue, under a privation of water, both in climbing up the extreme points of the range to drive off the enemy whenever they appeared, and in dragging thirteen pieces of artillery over the ridge, that this ser vice has been accomplished with so little loss on our side of life or of convoy. 7. I beg to inclose a list of the casualties in killed and wounded of this column which have occurred since I left the immediate vicinity of Candahar. 8. My last accounts of Major-General Nott were of the 13th, three marches north of Candahar. 9. His Highness Prince Timoor and his family are in my camp, and every possible attention is paid to his com fort and safety. 10. The Right Honourable the Governor-General will have been informed that the Chief Saloo Khan, who had taken service with us after the affair with the enemy of the 28th April, near Hykulzie, suddenly absconded from the military post held by us at this place, on hearing of our abandonment of Candahar, and it was presumed that he was at the head of the insurgents in the Kojuck hills, but I am not inclined to believe that he was thus em ployed, and I think it more probable that he may have proceeded to join Prince Suftur Jung, who bad placed himself at the head of affairs at Candshar. 11. I have no information to warrant the expectation of any serious opposition between this and Quettah, es pecially as the Brahoe connexion with the Affghans seems severed for the present, and I hope to be enabled to report my arrival at Quettah to his Lorpship on the 27th or the 28th instant. 12. Pursuant to the instructions of Government of the 19th of March, I have assumed the political responsi bilities as well as military command, vacated by the casualty therein contemplated in the departure from these countries of Major-General Nott.—l have, &c., R.

FROM MAJOR-GENERAL POLLOCK, COMMANDING IAN ATP OHANISTAN, TO MAJOR-GENERAL LUMLEY, ADJUTANT GENERAL OF TUE ARMY. Camp Mammoo Khail, Aug. 25, 1842. Sir—l have the honour to report, for the information of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that I reached Gundamuck on the morning of the 23d instant., with the troops as follows :—First Squadron sth Light Cavalry ; head-quarters and one squadron 10th Light Cavalry ; No. 6 Light Field Battery ; sth company Sappers and Miners ; her Majesty's 9th Foot ; 26th Native Infantry ; 60th Native Infantry. On approaching the ground a few horsemen appeared, but retired as we advanced. I soon learnt that the enemy, under the chiefs Hadji Alli and Khyroollah Khan, occupied the village and fort of Mammoo Khail. about two miles from Gundamuck, and I determined upon attacking them the following morning. I ordered up a squadron of the 3d Dragoons and Cap tain Broadfoot's corps of Sappers and Miners from General Sale's camp, and they joined before daylight the following morning. At four A.M. yesterday morning, I moved towards the enemy with the following troops :-1 squadron sth Light Cavalry, 1 squadron 10th ditto, No. 6 Light Field Bat tery, sth company Sappers and Miners, her Majesty's 9th Foot, 26th Native Infantry, 60th Native Infantry, Broadfoot's Sappers. On clearing the broken ground in front, I divided the infantry into two columns, with wing of her Majesty's 9th Foot at the head of each, and skirmishers in front. I directed Captain Broadfoot with his corps to go the right. The cavalry also advanced ea the right to cut off the retreat of the enemy. Captain Abbott's battery accompanied the columns, and, as we advanced, occasionally opened on the enemy, who continued in position so long we hoped they would oppose us with their whole force ; but they retired on our approach, and we entered the village. The fields in front . of the village were purposely flooded to prevent our advance. The lett column then went to wards the fort of Mammoo Khail, and the right column proceeded to Kooclee Khail ; the ground was impracti cable for cavalry near the whole distance ; but on one or two occasions an opportunity did offer, and the enemy suffered accordingly. Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor, with some companies of the 9th Foot and 26th Native Infantry, occupied part of the heights in front of the village of Kooclee Khail, while Captain Broadfoot and some of the 26th Native Infantry cleared the hills to the left of Lieu tenant Taylor's position. As Kooclee Khail is about two miles from Mammoo Khail, and as a position there might have been attended with risk, unless very strongly sup ported, I directed Major-General, M`Caskill to retire on Mammoo Khail. As I consideredit of importance to hold Mammoo Khail, which was the enemy's position, I wrote for the whole camp to be brought here, and it ar rived in safety yesterday afternoon. I left the camp standing, and selected Major Davis, of her Majesty's 9th Foot, to command the following party for its protection :—Three companies 26th Native In fantry, three companies 60th Native Infantry, and 50 sowers of the 3d Irregular Cavalry. The duty was one of considerable importance, as it was by no means im probable that the enemy would take advantage of our ad vance to send a party to the camp. The squadron of Dragoons having arrived just as I was starting, their horses would not have been equal to a day's hard work, which induced me to leave them in camp. The over throw of this part of the enemy must, I conclude, have been very unexpected, as the whole of their camp equi page, with its carriage cattle, was captured by Captain Broadfoot's corps and the 3d Irregular Cavalry. I have much gratification in reporting that the troops, both European and native, of each branch and depart ment, well supported the haracter of British soldiers. Where all are equally zealous is the cause, and devoted to their duty, my thanks are equally due to all ; but I may be permitted to mention the names or corps and de partments employed. Major-General M'Caskill, K.H., commanding the right column ; Brigadier Tulloch, com manding the left column • Captain Abbott, com man di ng the light field battery ; Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor,K.H., commanding her Majesty's 9th Foot ; Major Huish, commanding the 26th Native Infantry ; Capt. Napleton, commanding the 60th Native Infantry ; Major Blair, commanding the 10th Light Cavalry; Captain Oldfield, commanding squadron of the sth Light Cavalry ; Cap tain Tait, commanding the 3d Irregular Cavalry ; Cap tain Abbott, Field Engineer ; Lieut. Becher, command ing Sappers and Miners ; and Superintending-Surgeon Steven, and Captain Nugent, officiating Sub-Assistant Commissary-General. The officers of the staff who con veyed my orders to the different columns, and otherwise aided in the movements of the day, were Captain Have lock, Deputy-Assistant-Adjutant-General ; Capt. Smith, Major of Brigade; Captain Ponsonby, Assist.-Adjutant- General ; Captain Lane, Commissary of Ordnance ; Lieutenant Richmond Shakespear, Military Secretary ; Captain Codrington, Assistant Quartermaster -General ; Lieutenant Mayne, Officiating Deputy-Assistant-Quar termaster-General, who was most active throughout the day ; Lieutenant Tytler, Baggage Master ;.Lieutenant Pollock, Aide-de-Camp, and Captain M•Gregor, Aide de-Camp. To the last-mentioned officer, I am not only indebted for services in the field, but for valuable infor mation, and for constant exertions to obtain supplies fur the force, which his local knowledge and personal ac quaintance with the Mullicks enabled him to do. I have this morning heard from several quarters that the two chiefs, Hadji Ali wed Khyroollalt Khan have gone to Caubul, attended by about sixty men. If I had removed to camp at Gundamuck yesterday, there can be little doubt that the enemy would have re-occupied this place, and he would have announced to the Caubul authorities he had beaten us back. Kooclee Khail has been destroyed by fire. The fort and village of Mammoo Khail have been also destroyed by fire, and before I quit this place the trees, to which much value and im portance are attached, will be cut down. I have the honour to inclose- a return of casualties. I regret I shall be deprived of the services of Major Huish, 26th Native Infantry, and Captain Edmonds, her Majesty's 9th Foot, for some time, though I hope Rot long. Lieutenant Robertson, of the 37th Regiment Na tive Infantry, doing duty with the 26th Native Infantry, is slightly wounded, and will, I trust, soon return to his duty. I have the pleasure to inclose reports from Major-Gen. M'Caskill, K.H., and Captain Broadfoot.—l have, &c. G. POLLOCK, Major-General, Commanding in Affghanistan. FROM MAJOR-GENERAL J.

Sir,—l beg to detail to you for the information of Major-General Pollock, C. 8., the operations of the right column in the affair of yesterday, after it had become separated from that of the left, on the complete success of the combined attack on the enemy's position in ad vance of Mammoo Khail. You are aware that this force consisted of four com panies of her Majesty's 9th Foot, and six of the 26th Regiment of Native Infantry, under the immediate com mand of Lieut.-Colonel Taylor, K.H., of the former corps. The enemy had fled before our troops and abandoned the village of Kooclee Kail, but reinf orced strongly by the fugitives driven back b y Brigadier Tulloch's column, he assumed a menacin d a i n e d r occupied in force a range of heights summits in the Soofaid Koh.

I m oved, as directed, with the Sappers (about 220 men) and the 3d Irregular Cavalry (250) across the ra vine to the right of the force. We found the enemy strongly posted in an orchard with some enclosures, and the usual field -works of loose stones in their front were also occupied.
