'One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders; three-fourths to the former, and one •fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to pro ainst unforeseen contingencies. The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May, 1 840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti cipation.

William Parker, who on his arrival from Ta-Shan, with the zeal for which he is so conspicuous, at once followed me up the river with the two small steamers, bringing with him 250 marines and a party of seamen, I deter mined upon moving on Tsekee, where I was informed that the Chinese were in considerable force under Generals Twan-Yung, Yang, and Choo. It was reported that they had two intrenched camps on the Segaon hills, about half a mile north of Tsekee : that several guns had been placed on the walls, and at the gateways, and aan.nodt;heartfis,ereveenofmfril;sl 5,000 0 h large stores of provisions laid up for the army in the city, inisloner Wile, with the military chest, was posted in a fortified camp in the hills at Chiingkie-pass. north-east 6t,00 of o t hmeesne, encampments under Com - " The necessary arrangements having been made with Rear-Admiral Sir W. Parker, the following troops were all embarked by eight o'clock on the morning of the 15th, on hoard the steamers Queen, Nemesis, and Phle gothon :--Madras Artillery, with four light field guns guns, 83 ; 18th Royal Irish, 201 ; 26th Cameronians, 156 ; 49th Regiment, 305 ; Rifls, 36th Native In flin try, 54 ; Sappers; 66. Total, 865. Sir W. Parker placed at my disposal 350 seamen and marines, making up about 1,000 bayonets. At twelve o'clock this force was landed about four miles from Tsekee, whence we . had a perfect view of th e enemy ' s encampments, and I immediately pushed forward on the city. I feel it right here to observe, that Sir W. Parker accompanied me throughout the operations I am about to detail, and from his sound judgment aad excellent arrangements I received the most valuable assistance. " Upon our approaching Tsek ee and occupying a hill nearest which Command-4 the:solo s ;:ttr'faete!tofik the .waUs and south gate the Chinese fired all the guns' and .gingiilS they had for the defence of this gate, b ut w i t h so li ttle effect, and at so great a distance, th at i t l e d me to b e li eve that they (most unac c ountably) did not purpose to defend the city ; an d I was confirmed in this conclusion thatby observing ule s the ramparts phairltlss at the p u p s swereite side u of no c the town, on which were their encampments, appeared crowded with troops. Lieutenant-Colonel Montgomerie having with his usual promptitude brought up his guns, I determined at on ce t o t a ke th e city by storm, pass through to the north gate, there re -unite my force, and carry the enemy's encampments. I w as l e d to t hi s l i ne of operation by the conclusion before -mentioned that the Chinese did not intend to defend the city, as well as with a view to expedite the attack on the heights, as it would otherwise have been necessary (to provide for the possible case of the enemy's being in force within the walls) to make a detour out of range through the paddy fields, but my principal object was to preve n t the enemy from falling back on the city, when driven from the hills. In furtherance of these views, I directed the naval brigade, with a party of sappers, covere d b y t h e guns and the Madras Rifles, if opposed, to escalade the walls in my front, assemble on the ramparts, and move along them to the north gate. The 49th I in s t ruc t e d t o move on the south gate, blow it open, and join the naval brigade on the ramparts. I hail previously or dered the lith to dislodge a body of the enemy that oc cupied a hill to the north-east of the city, after which they were to move round the walls, out of gingal range, and threaten the north gate : Should the n ava l brigade and 49th mee t with opposition, the 26th were placed in reserve, and were directed to move and pro tect the guns. " A few minutes placed the naval brigade on the walls unopposed, and the whole promptly formed on the ram parts. The Royal Irish meanwhile dispersed the enemy in their front, and rapidly moved on the north gate . I accompanied the 49th, but finding that the bridge over the canal, close to the south gate, was destroyed, an d t h at it would tak e some ti me to replace it, the corp s p asse d along a can a l un d er th e w alls, and I directed the naval brigade to move parallel with it upon the ramparts.. The whole forc e th us soon arr i v ed at the place of assembly, the north gate. " The city of Tsekee is surrounded on three sides with precipitous hills, and the north gate is on a low spur of one of th e s e hill s , w hi c h t erm inates in an eminence with the walls. At th e nort h- w estern extremity of a range of high hills, being a branch of the mountains that skirt the coast, are th e S egaon or Siguen.hills, on which were the enc am p ments; b ot h were of considerable extent, and the natural difficulties of the position strengthened by abattis. Th ese camps , w hi c h, as well as the summits of the hill s b e y on d t h em , were thickly occupied, were within long range o f t h e wa ll s, t h e i n tervening space being a tract of paddy-fields, with a few scattered houses. lat fault 3, as th e hill s once perceived that the position was on our right command e d th e ir left, while their left rcom manded their right, and I made my dispositions accord ingly. 'rh o 18th, w i t h a Rifl e compae) the 36th Madras Native Infantry, were ordered to ,. move Lt , p a ravine and occupy a hill to the left of the p? e s r iti t on. The naval brigade was instructed_ to m.ove tpdfronhte walls, of the and occupy two rather large buildings cover right encampment, making a lodgment under__ ready to rush forward, when th e 18th should reach the summit and turn the enemy's left. Wi t h the 49th I pro posed to attack at the same moment the largest encamp ment in my front, my great object being to mate a simul taneous attack with the three columns, pushing the 18th down in the rear, while the naval brigade should cut off all communication with the city. S o rapid were our movements, that only one gun could be bro u g ht u p , intonot withstanding th e p ra i sewor th y e xertions of Lieut.- Colonel Montgo mer i e , who dashe d hi s gun the canal, and entered the city by a water-gate. This gun was ably brought up, and did good execution under the direction of Captain Moore, of the Madras Artillery who, with his party, merit s great praise for the extra ordinary exertions in dragging it through paddy-fields and across canals. The steepness of the mountain-gorge by which the Royal Irish and Rifles ascended, notwithstanding the enthusiasm of their advance, occupied more time in sur mounting than I anticipated; and, finding that the navalbrigade might prob a bl y suffer more b y t he delay than in an immediate attack, and that the enemy appeared to gain confidence by this delay, I ordered the advance to be sounded, when th e 49t h , with the i r accustomed spirit, rushed up the hill, overcoming al l o pp?sition, and crowned its height within a few minutes, driving every thing before them. From this height it afforded me no small satisfaction to witness the spirited rush of the ad vance of the Marine brigade, led by their gallant chief (I am persuaded Sir Willi am Parker w ill e xcuse this ex pression of my admiration), who was ably supported by Captain Bouchier, commanding the naval brigade , Cap tain Richards, of h er Majesty's ship Cornwallis, and Captain Watson, of her Majesty's ship.Modeste, com manding the Seamen B attalion. Th e w hole brigade soon reached the summit, carrying the enemy's works. At the moment wh en t h e Adm i ral h a d nea rly gained the height, I perceived a large body of Chinese ascend ing the back of the hill w hi c h he was attacking, appa • rently ignorant of the con j o i nt attac k, an d I directed Major Gough, DeputyQuarter-Master-General, to push forward with the Grenadiers of the 49th, supported by a battalion company, to cut off their retreat. The car nage at the foot of this hill was extraordinarily great ; the 49th in the rear and the naval brigade in the front almost annihilated this body, while the remainder of the 49th pressed the retiring enemy, I cannot say his columns, as the whole plain was covered with the dis persed and flying foe. The 18th and Rifles, finding that they were too late to parti c i pate in the attac k on the en campments, rapidly dashed into the plain and cut off the Chinese from their only safe retreat on the Changki pass, killing numbers ; and one company, under Lieu tenant Bernard, followed up the pursuit for several miles towards Yuyaun. The 26th Cameronians, having left one company to protect the g uns , presse d f o r war d i nto the plain, and joined in the pursuit. It was eight o'clock before the force re-assembled, when we occupied the enemy's encampment, where the men found ample bed ding and comforts. "Sir William Parker has brought to my notice, in ad dition to the Captains of the navy Ihave already named, the spirited conduct of Lieutenant C. E . T ennan t (Fl ag Lieutenant); Lieutenant G. Elliott (slightly wounded) Mr. G. H. Hod g son, mate (slightly Rounded in a per sonal rencontre with a Chinese) ; M r. W. Bowden, Vo lunteer Ist class, and Mr. H. D. C. C unningham, Secre tary's clerk, a ll of her Majesty's ship Cornwallis ; also of Lieutenant Harriott, Royal Marines, of her Majesty's ship Blonde. The Admiral also noticed (and it came under my own observation) the judicious and well-di rected fire-rockets of a party under Lieutenant J. Fitz james and Mr. C. K. Jackson, m ate, both of her Ma jesty's ship Corwallis. These officers accompanied Sir W. Parker with the advance. Li eutenant A. J. B. Hambly, of th e Royal Marines, wa s severely wounded at the head of hi s company in the advance to the hill. " I cannot too strongly express my entire approbation at' the enthusiastic manner in which the whole force maintained their character. Our loss, under Divine protection, was wonderfully small, • h Alt the enemy's troops stood well and retained the bills until in many instances our officers and men Caine into personal con tact with them. " The conduct of the 49th came more under my per sonal observation,. and I witnessed with gre at sat i s f act i on the zealous exertions of Captain Reignold (wounded) ; Lieutenant and Adjutant Browne ; Lieuanants Ramsay and Mitchell, of the Grenadier Comp any ; Lieutenant ' Lane (whose left arm was amputated on the field) ; and Lieutenant Montgocierie(severely wounded in the thigh). I must also mention, with much a pprobation, the con duct of Brevet Captain Balfour, of the Madras Artillery. I also feel it invidious to name these officers when I am conscious that every individual zealously did his duty ; but as their conduct came under my own eye, I consider it a duty to express my sense of approval. " The exact strength of the . T at enemy - Can hardly esti mate,it as various accounts give fro m 7 /000 to 10,000 men. I conceive it to have been about 8 ,000 men ; they were the elite of the Chinese army, including 500 of the Imperial body-guard, rema rkably fine men, t h e Kansus h troops from th e f r o n ti ers of Turkistan, a strong and mus cular race accustomed to border warfare, and reputed by the Chinese invincible, and the Shause troops, for whose arrival Yih King gave out that he had delayed the at tack. Their loss must have been very great ; not less than 1,000 were killed upon the field or in the pursuit, and drowned in the canals ; a great proportion of man darins fell, Th ese t roo ps not haTzug before met the English, apprehended I presume, that we should give no quarter ; and although the officers and men showed great forbearance, calling to the Chinese to surrender, very few prisoners were taken. We have, however, three mandarins, two from Kansuh, and one a Lieutenant of the Imperial body-guard. "Fatigue parties from the several corps, together with the available native followers, were occupied in collecting guns, gingals, and matchlocks, left in camp or thrown away during the flight, until twelve o'clock on the 16th, when I set fire to the encampments and to the several houses that the Chinese had occupied as arsenals. At daylight in the morning I had sent to the town to open the grain magazines to the populace, which eagerly flocked to them, and upon visiting them next morning, I found they had been completely emptied. Prom these and other causes I could not commence my march before half-past twelve o'clock, when the column moved for the Changki pass, which I determined to carry, in order to destroy this, as I understood, formida ble position, and capture the treasure chest. After a rapid march of three hours, we reached the base of the hill under this pass. Tho position appeared remark ably strong, indeed almost impracticable: from the front, as the hills are lofty and exceedingly steep, and the summits oe the ridges were intrenched strongly. But here again, as at Segaon, I perceived that the position could be turned, and I at once directed the Royal Irish to ascend the hills on the left of the position, while I moved with the 26th Cameronians, and 49th, supported by the naval brigade, and occupied a wooded spur which led up direct to the left of the encampment. On reaching the-summit of this spur, I found that the enemy iiid - retrefited, - taking with him his guns, and, I regret to say, his treasure ; but a considerable qUantity of-gootl bread was discovered, also some ammunition. We halted for a couple of hours, and, as there was not sufficient cover for all the troops, the works were set fire to, to gether with the magazine and a large joss-house where the Mandarins resided. The column returned Tsekee, which we did not reach until nine o'clock that night ; all the villages in the neighbourhood of our route were apparently deserted by the inhabitants ; but I am happy to say, in no one instance was a house entered on our line of march, along which no trace was left betoken- ing a movement of troops through a hostile country. Indeed, with the exception of a very few killed in houses, where the Chinese troops sought refuge the preceding day, I did not see amid the slain one individual who was not habited as a soldier, which, as the peasantry were in many instances intermingled with the fugitives, goes far to show the forbearance and discrimination of our men even in the heat of pursuit. On the 17th I returned with the whole force to Ningpo, with the exception of two companies of the 26th, which I sent under Captain Strange, accompanied by Captain Pears, direct to Chinhae, with a view to ascertain the fact of a canal communication between that place and Tsekee, and to clear the country of any straggling parties of the enemy. This duty was satisfac torily performed, and the detachment rejoined me here on the 18th. " Permit me now to bring to your Lordship's favour , able notice tne several officers commanding corps, who were most zealous in executing and even in anticipating my wishes—viz., Captain Bouchier, commanding the naval brigade ; Lieutenant-Colonel Morris, commanding the 49th Regiment ; Lieutenant-Colonel Pratt, com manding the 26th Regiment ; Major Tomlinson, com manding the 18th Regiment ; Captain Watson, RN , commanding the seamen ; Captain Uniacke, command big the Royal Marines ; and Captain Simson, command ing the Rifles 36th Madras Native Infantry.

' force, but as I perceived that they were drawing off in considerable numbers over u bridge, which was the only visible outlet from the suburb, I con sulted with Lieutenant-Colonel Mountain as to the nutn her of available men we could spare from the gate, we found we could muster more than 100 men, and a; he concurred as to the advisableness of an - immediate attack on the suburb, I ordered the party to fall in which was as per margin.* We sallied from the gate, and advanced up the narrow street of the suburb, meeting with little or no opposition for some time, but at the distance of about half a mile, at a turn in the street, we came on the enemy in great force ; the whole street, as far as the eye could reach, was one dense mass ; the ,leading portion (among whom a mounted mand ar i n was cons p ic uous) brandished their swords and spears, cheered each other with their voices, and appeareddetermined to stand their ground, if not rush on us ; had they done so, they must have swept our small force before them, but any such intention. if enter) tained, was speedilychecked, for the bodies of the leaders of the mass formed a line which it would hare required a bold man to pass ; we advanced, the head of our co lumn delivering their fire, and the next section taking their place, till withing ten or fifteen paces of the enemy; by this time the howitzer was brought to the front, and three rounds of grape in quick succession told with tremendous effect : before the howitzer had got to the front, I had directed Lieutenant Murray, of the 18th R iyal Irish, and Lieutenant Molesworth, of the Artil lery-, to get on the flanks of the enemy, which they did with some difficulty, breaking through outhouses, and wading along the canal, which was middle deep ; the manceuvre completed the enemy's defeat, and they fled in great confusion ; we pursued them through the suhtiFb4, • and for-some_ mites beyond, closing on their rear, and inflicting on them heavy loss ; numerous par ties deserted the main body at every turn, and we saw many throw themselves into the canal, worn out from wounds or fatigue ; we captured upwards of thirty gin jails, and many matchlocks, and other arms in the suburb, and during the pursuit, all of better construc tion than I had previously seen. The enemy's numerical force in the western suburbs, was certainly very considerable ; their column in retreat extended at least a mile along the canal, and if the front was so compact as the rear, they must have amounted to some thousands. None of the inhabitants of the suburbs or vicinity suf fered. as far as I could learn ; and although the bridges over the canals and sides of the roads were in many places crowded with spectators almost in the line of fire, the soldiers, be it said to their praise, showed every proper forbearance. I must speak of the behaviour of every officer and man in unqualified terms of approbation, and beg particularly to mention the names of Captain Moore, Madras Artil lery, of Capt. Moorhead of the Cameronians, of Lieutenant Murray, of the Royal Irish, and of Lieutenant Grant of the 49th, who commanded the parties of their respective corps engaged. Captain Balfour, of the Madras Artil lery, my Staff Officer, afforded me every aid, and both he and Lieutenant Browne, of the 49th, were conspicuous for their spirited conduct when in close action and in pursuit. It may appear almost like presumption in me to bring forward the names of the officers of the General Staff, but it would be a still greater fault if I were not to acknowledge their services and assistance. Lieutenant- Colonel Mountain took an equal share with myself in the whole affair, and Lieut.-Colonel Hawkins, Major Moore, and Superintending Surgeon French sallied with us, and took part throughout the action, - I have, &c.

ADMIRALTY, SEPT. 5. Cornwallis, at Chusan, April 2.5, 1842. Sir,—l request you will inform the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty, that an abortive attempt was made by the Chinese to set fire to her Majesty's skips and transports in the harbour of Tinghae, and the ad joiniwg anchorage, at Chusan, on the night of the 14th instant. About 10 p.m. I received information from Captain Dennis, the Military Magistrate of Tinghae, which he had just obtained from his scouts, that five rafts, formed of large boats, prepared with powder and other combus tible materials, well assorted for the purpose, were sup posed to be on their way from Sing Kong, a small harbour about three leagues to the north-west of this position. An hour had scarcely elapsed, when several fire rafts were discovered in flames, on the opposite or eastern side of the harbour, and drifting towards the shipping, while others approached between the islands of Maccles field and Trumball, on the south side, where the Nemesis steam-vessel had been for some days undergoing repair; others attempt e d t o enter t h e anc h orage occupie by the ships of war to the northward of Sea Island, and sore even to the southward of that island, in which latter direction the Jupiter was moored. The boats of the ships or war named in the margin, (Cornwallis, Hyacinth, Starling, Bentinck, Jupiter.; Ne mesis, Phlegethon, steam vessels), and of the transports in the harbour, were all on the alert, and, by the active ex ertions of the officers and men of all ranks, the whole of the fire boats, am oun ti ng t o b etween fifty and sixty which were for the most part chained together in small numbers of from three to five, were grappled with and owed clear of the ships without difficulty or doing the slightest injury. While this was passing, Lieutenant Wise, of the Corn wallis, proceeded with a small division of boats in search of the fire boats expected on the west side of Sing Kong, and succeeded in discovering them to the number of thirty, anchored off a beach outside Bell Island, waiting for the turn of tide to advance on the ships of war; these were also completely destroyed, and on the following morning the Nemesis and Phlegethon were dispatched to scour the adjacent islands, and, by the activity of Lieutenant Hall, thirteen more boats, with combustible materials, were destroyed, making a total of not less than a hundred. Lieutenant M'Cleverty's exertions were equally praise worthy, but nothing suspicious was met with in the direction he was sent. I have had great reason to be pleased with the vigi lance and zeal of the officers and men of all ranks in her Majesty's ships and Company's steamers, as well as the agents, masters, and crews of the transports on this occasion, and I have much pleasure in bringing their meritorious conduct under the notice of the Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty and Indian Government.

By order of the Governor-General, T. 11. MADDOCK, Secretary to the Goverment, of India, with the Governor-General. From Major-General W. Nott, Commanding. at Canda har, to T. H. Maddock , Esq., Secretary to the Go vernment of India, Calcutta. quaintar, March " Sir,—l have the honour to you, for the in formation of the Right lion. the Governor-General of India, that during the month of February considerable numbers of the rebel forces under the command of Prince Surtax. Jung and other A.ffghan chiefs assembled in the vicinity of Candahar, plundering the villages, and by every possible means urging the inhabitants to join in an iwtte.oh upon the British troops. In the beginning of -•; • /22 the present month the enemy approached close to the city of Candahar. "I made the necessary arrangements for the safety of the city, and, leaving a garrison of about 2,600 men in it, I on the 7th instant moved with the remainder of my force against the enemy. They retired as : l advanced ;c; they were driven first across the ri ver T urnu k , and then across the Urghundab. They . would not allow ow in fantry to come in contact with them. On the 9th we got near enough to open our guns upon them with great effect; they were soon broken, and fled; my want of good cavalry saved them from being totally destroyed ; they were dispersed in every direction. "..poring a march of five days, opposed to 12,000 of the enemy, who had upwards of 6,000 well-mounted cavalry continually moving round our column, not a camel was taken or a particle of baggage lost. The troops marched without tents, both officers and men, and the conduct of my artillery and intently was excellent. - I think this dispersion of the rebel force will have the best effect, as it will convince the inhabitants that the chiefs cannot face us in the field with any chance o Isuc cess. lam now doing all in my power to conciliate the villagers, and to induce them to return to the cultivation of their lands, and to live in peace under the assurance of protection. " During my absence a strong detachment of the enemy made an attempt on the city, and succeeded in burning one of the gates, but they were repulsed with great loss by the gallantry of the troops in garrison under com mand of Major Lane, of the 2d Regiment of Native In fanti:i%whose report sh a ll b e forwarded for the informa tion of Government by the first opportunity.-I am, &v., " W. NOTT, Major-General, "Commanding at Gandahar."' F- 'rom Major-General Nott, to T. H. Maddock, Esq. "Candahar, March 29, 1642. " Sir,—With reference to the concluding paragraph of my letter to your address under date the 12th instant, I have now the honour of forwarding to you Major Lane's report of an attack made on one of the city gates of Candahar, which was most gallantly repalsed by the Bengal Sepoys, small details from her Majesty's 40th Regiment, and front the 4th company 2d battalion of artillery. I have, B:c., " W. NOTT, Major-Gener a l "Commanding at Candahar.” "FROM MAJOR C. R. W. LANE, COMMANDING CANDARAR GARRISON, TO CAPTAIN SCOTT. MAJOR OF DRIGADE. " Candahar, March 12. "Sir,—For the information of Major-General Nutt. commanding, I have the honour to report the following particulars of an attack made upon Cendahar on the night of the 10th instant. "During the forenoon of the above date, largo bodice of the enemy, horse and foot, were observed assecnbliw from all quarters, taking up a position near old Penci. har and the adjoining villages ; and in the course of the day their numbers rapidly increased, parties from the main body . moving round and establishing themselves in front of the Shikarpore-gate. A s th e ir oject was, evi dently, to attack the garrison, the Political Agent directed the inhabitants to shut their shops and remain uithin their houses ; and precautions were taken to secure the gates by piling bags of grain inside. "About 8 o'clock P.M., a desperate attack was made upon the Herat gate, and owing to the darkness of the night, some combustibles were placed near it and ignited unperceived, and in a few minutes the gate was in. flames ; I immediately ordered a party of 100 rank and file from the 2d Regiment and a company from the Shah's Ist Infantry to support the guard at the gate, and two guns wer: also placed in position commanding the entrance. " Dense masses of the enemy had now collected at this point, keeping up an incessant and heavy fire, which was returned with great effect froth , the ramparts, but so reckleStand daring were the assailants, that notwith standing the fearful havoc among them, eight or ten men actually forced their way by tearing don.; the burning fragments of the gate, and scrambling over the bags of grain ; these were instantly shot, and their fate, together with the - galling fire from the walls, dismayed the attack ing party, who retired about midnight, after four hours resolute fighting. " Another attack took place at the Shikarpore gate about nine P.M., and a similar attempt was made to fire it, which, however, failed, and the assailants were driven back; a small party also approached the Caubul gate, but the garrison being everywhere on the alert, the enemy was compelled to retire about one o'clock A at. of the 11th. and when the day broke not a soul was visible. " The guards over the several gates were so completely sheltered, that not a single casualty occurred, whilst the well directed and destructive fire which was maintained for nearly four hours, must have done great execution. _Upwards of 50 dead bodies were found in and near the Herat gate, and from the determined assault of the enemy, who came close up to the walls, their loss must have been immense ; report estimates it at 1,000 killed and wounded, and I am informed by Major Rawlinsou, Political Agent, that Prince Suftur Jung, Meerza Ahmed, and other Sirdars, were present, encouraging the troops. _ _ " A Considerable quantity of grain was unavoidably destroyed at the Herat gate, but as it presented a strong barrier, I trust the sacrifice will be considered unim portant. This gate has been built up, and the others have been temporarily barricaded with grain bags. " Before concluding my report, I would beg to ac knowledge the valuable assistance rendered me on this occasion by Major Rawlinson, Political Agent, and Captain Ripley, Fort Adjutant. The exertions of every officer and soldier in garrison were unremitting, and it affords me infinite pleasure to bear testimony to the ad mirable conduct of all parties during the attack. " I have, &c " C. R. W. LANE, Major." FROM MAJOR-GENERAL W. NOTT, TO T. H. MADDOCR, ETQ. " Candahar, March 28, 1842. " Sir,—Having deemed it desirable to detach a brigade under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Wymer, for the double purpose of foraging and giving protection to the numerous villages along the left bank of the Urghun dab river, against the marauding system adopted by the rebel army commanded by Prince Suftur Jung and other Affghan 'Chiefs, I have now the honour to forward to you, for the information of the Right Hon. the Governor- General of India, a report from that officer of an attack made on his detachment, and of the complete defeat of the enemy. I have ascertained that their loss was great, and that several of their chiefs were killed and wounded, while our loss was comparatively trifling. " Oa my arrival on the field, I was pleased with the judicious arrangements made by Lieutenant-Colonel Wymer; and the cool and determined manner in which he opposed the enemy and protected his convoy did credit to our arms; and I beg leave to bring him under the favourable notice of Government. " The enemy were finally driven across the Urghundab in the greatest confusion, and with very considerable loss. The Artillery and Infantry distinguished them selves. " I have, &c., " W. NOTT, Major-General, " Commanding at Candahar." FROM LIEUTENANT-COLONEL G. P. WYMER, COMMANDING DETACHMENT, TO CAPT. SCOTT, MAJOR OF BRIGADE. " Candahar, Camp, Baba Wullee, March 27, 184th " Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the informa tion of Major-General Nott, Commanding at Candahar, that, in obedience to his instructions, I marched from that place on themorning of the 25th inst., with one troop of the Shah's Horse Artillery; half a troop of Hal dane'sliorse ; half a troop of Leeson's Horse ' • 16th Re gimenße- giment'of Bengal Nativ e I n f an t r y ; 38th Regiment, ditto ; 2d Shah's Regiment, with the intention of forag ing for the cavalry and cattle at the village of Seikhchu lah ; but, on receiving a report from Captain Dallas, that the country thereabouts had recently been foraged over and the water turned off by the enemy, he suggested the advantage to be derived by a move upon Baba Wullee, which was adopted. On reaching that place I sighted the rebel camp on the opposite side of the Urghundab, distant about four miles, and large bodies of cavalry grazing their horses between it and the river. I con tinued my march to the spot selected for my encampment, and shortly after reaching it at half-past ten or eleven, a large body of the enemy's cavalry was observed forming and occupying the pass in my rear ; on which I re inforced the rear-guard with two guns and a wing of the 38th Native llnfantry, placing the convoy under the hills in the rear and protecting its front and flanks with the force at my disposal, which had hardly been effected, when finding the force above-mentioned fast increasing, I ,deemed it highly necessary to move back for their dispersion, taking with me two Hors e . Artillery guns under Lieutenant Turner, 38th Regiment, and a party of Skinner's Horse, wader Lieutenant Tra vers, detaching two companies of the 38th Regiment to drive the enemy from the tops of some low hills they had crowned with horsemen on my left; which was spe e dily done, and the well-directed tire from Lieutenant atTur ner's guns soon drove in the body of the enemy collected ahran and commanded,olil,aith:laphasoms,ed,whoinom round o i io by jO S it t al the i p Khan m d threatening the right flank of the convoy. On this I retraced my s t e ps and rejoined the convoy, which had been left under Lieutenant-Colonel Maclaren's charge during my absence, and who had dislodged a third body of the enemy from the enclosed gardens and village in his front with a part of th e 16th regiment. On my reaching the convoi I directed Captain Macan, com manding the Shah s 2d Regiment, to move his corps, supported by two guns and the half of Leeson's horse under Ensign Chamberlain, against the party on the right flank, which movement had been partly executed when the force,' under the Major-General's personal command, arrived to my support, at the time when the party of cavalry under Ensign Chamberlain received a partial check from an overpowering - body of the enemy, and that officer was severely wounded, and Lieutenant Travers slightly, who acted in concert with him. " Inclosed 1 have the honour to forward a return of the killed and wounded on the occasion, and, to express my entire approbation of the conduct of all officers and men engaged in the action. " I trust I may be permitted to bring to the Major- General's notice the admirable practice of the artillery. under Lieutenant Turner's guidance, every shot from which told with beautiful effect upon the dense masses of the enemy.

CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis), POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity •f the rich and silvery appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c, &c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material so that acids do not afiect it ; it is now so well known and appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver, can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles that are in silver, from which it can only be told by reference to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's 'attern.

Deputy Adjutant-General Expeditionary Force. Ningpo, March 11, 1842. Sir—Agreeably to your wish, I beg to report the cir cumstances which occurred yesterday morning under my immediate direction, previous to your joining us beyond the west gate. On the first guns from the ships of war I got the ar tillery under arms, and repaired to the ramparts, the alarm-post for the artillery at this time (about three o'clock), the whole of the river to the east of the town appeared covered with fire-rafts, and heavy firing was kept up from the Modeste and Sesostris. Being anxious to know how matters stood, I directed Captain Balfour, my staff-officer, to proceed with a small patrole round the ramparts to the east gate, to bring me intelligence. Shortly after this officer sent me word that the south gate had been attacked, both from inside the town and outside, and that it was in possession of the enemy, who were supposed to be in great force. I sent imme diately intelligence of this to the Deputy Adjutant- General. A patrole of the 18th Royal Irish, under Lieutenant Murray, arrived about this time on the ramparts, which I dispatched immediately to reinforce the bridge gate guard, and proceeded myself in the same direction with two h o witzers, under the command of Captain Mc - we, and a small party of artillerymen with fuzils, whom I thought I could spare from the guns. Lieutenant-Colo nel Mountain joined us, and informed me that he had been at the bridge gate, and confirmed the intelligence of the south gate guard having been overpowered ; he proceeded to report matters to you, and said he would rejoin me as soon as possible. On proceeding to the bridge gate guard, I took with me from thence the south gate guard, which had retired there, and advanced, on approaching the south gate ' • the day began to dawn, a nd I was g l a d t o hear from the Bri tish cheering, and a smart fire of musketry, that the enemy were already attacked, and before our arrival I found the gate in possession of Captain M'Andrew, and his company of the 49th, who had driven the enemy through the main street, and had regained possession of the gate in very gallant style, killing many. A continued fire was still kept up at the west gate, towards which I proceeded, having been joined by Lieut.-Colonel Mountain, with a small party of the 26th Regiment, as also by Major Moore, Superintending- Surgeon French, and Captain Moorhead. Lieutenant- Colonel Hawkins having previously joined me near the east gate, we fell in with several of the enemy between the south and west gates, stragglers apparently from the party dispersed by Captain M•Andrew ; they leaped the ramparts as we approached, and were mostly destroyed. On arriving at the west gate, I found it had been as sailed from the suburbs in a very determined manner, and had been defended in most gallant style by Lieut. Armstrong, of the 18th Royal Irish until reinforced by a company of the 49th under Lieut. Grant ; this officer had made a sally from the gate and driven the enemy across the bridge. The dead bodies of ten or twelve of the enemy lying close to the gate and on the bridge suf ficiently betokened both the determination of the assail ants, and the gallantry of the defence. A smart fire of ginjalls and matchlocks were kept up from the suburbs where the enemy was evidently in great force. Captain Moore opened his howitzers on them, and the shells, which were exceedingly well thrown, soon drove them beyond the range of their fire. From the intricacy of the streets, and lanes of the suburb we could not form an estimate of the enemy's STAG AND PHEASANT COMMERCIAL AND FAMILY HOTEL, LEICESTER. A TABJJERER begs to inform Commercial Gen tlemen,, and the Public generally, that the Report of his being about to leave the above Establishment is entirely without foundation, and must have originated from his having recently purchased a House and Premises for the convenience and extension of his Wine and Spirit Trade.

DOWNING- STREET, SEPT. 5, 1842. Dispatches, of which the following are copies, ad dressed by Lieutenant-General Sir Hugh Gough, K.G.C.8., to the Right Honourable the Governor-Ge neral of India in Council, have been received by her Ma jesty's Government : DOWNING-STREET, SEPT. 5. "TO THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF AUCKLAND, G.C.11, &C. " Head-quarters, Ningpo, March 19." "My Lord,--I have the gratification to inform your Lordship of the total discomfiture and precipitate retreat of that portion of Commissioner Yih King's force which had been sent forward to exterminate us, and I feel most thankful to say, with wonderfully small loss on our part. " My letter of the 11th will have informed your Lord ship of the attacks on this city and Chinhae, on the night of the 9th an d morn i ng of the 10th. I deemed it right promptly to follow up these successful repulses, taking the attacking columns in detail, and understand ing tilt 'General Yu-poo-yun was advancing from Fung wa with from 6,000 to 7,000 men, I moved out to meet him on the 13th, with 600 men of the 18th and 49th Regiments, and Madras Artillery, with 2 guns and 50 sappers, flanked by the Sesostris steamer, which moved up the river parallel with our route, having on board three companies of the 26th, and a small body of seamen and marines. Until I reached the village Litso, about 7 miles hence, where I understood the enemy had been posted on the 12th, I could obtain no satisfactory infor mation of his movements ; but I had the mortification to find, on my arrival, that the Chinese had retreated over the hills the preceding night, apparently moving on Shan fling. "Having thus got rid of this column, although not in the way I could have wished, and being pined by Sir
