HOSPITAL, Strand.-- The urgent and unceasirrg claims upon this Charity for the relief which it affords to the sick and destitute, render it necessary for the Committee most earnestly to APPEAL to the affluent. for this Institutior, which, during the past year, has admitted nearly 1,100 in-patients, and 4,500 outpatients, including nearly 1,000 cases of accident of almost every possible description. Unlike the wealthier establish ments, possessing ample funds for their maintenance, this hospital is solely dependent on the voluntary subscriptions and bequests of the benevolent, for support ; and as the losses which it has 3u?tained by the death of many of its earliest and kindest benefactors have recently been very severe, the Charity now stands greatly in need of assistance. The Committee beg to state that the arrangements of the Hospital, which are at all times open to inspection, are regulated by a careful attention to economy, and that not only the destitute sufferers of the metropolis, but also of the most remote parts of the country, when overtaken by severe casualty or sickness, are freely admitted to its benefits. _ _ __ •__ Donations are thankfully received by the Rev. G. H. Bowers, 13. D., the Treasurer ; and by the Secretary and Clerk at the Hospital ; and by the neighbouring bankers—Messrs. Drum mond, Charing cross ; Messrs. Coutta and Co., Strand ; and Messrs.

DESTRUCTION of the GOORKAII REGIMENT, at CHARUKAR. It is with melancholy pleasure that we. publish the following statement of one of the Goorka .Sepoys be longing to the regiment which was cut up in Ko histan in November last, soon after the outbreak of the insurrection. We belieVe it is the first authentic and detailed narrative of that event which has been obtained, and of Which the only known survivors arc Major Pottinger, Lieutenant Haugh ton, .and the Doctor, in addition to the nar rator. The perusal of it will excite the deepest interest. It exhibits a spirit of exalted courage, and a patient endurance of suffering in circumstances the most adverse, which has scarcely a parallel in our Indian history. And in proportion to the admira tion excited by the conduct of this heroic . band while struggling for more than a fortnight against an over whelming force, and the excruciating torture of thirst, must be our regret at the catastrophe which has con signed. such gallantry to an untimely, but not dis -honourable, grave. Would that we had a dozen.such regiments now marching into Affghanistan to retrieve our lost reputation. The Sepoy, whose narrative we now publish, ap peared in the - Commander -in-Chief's camp on the 12th of the present month, and was conducted to the tent of the Persian 'interpreter, who took wri747 narrative, and, with the.view of ascertaining the accu racy of his recollections, desired him to repeat his statement the next day, when it was found substan tially to agree with his previous account. Itis a plain and simple tale, and is rendered remarkable by the absence of anything like boasting or self-con ceit. Poor Codrington appears to have been greatly beloved by his men. Mooteram was greatly affected when alluding to his sufferings. While speaking of his be o caln d e gisutirteesscasgihteat,emd-asmclaelnnievaenrd hceollechatded,eebeuutiehne to refer to the ill-treatment of Lieutenant Houghton, whom he described as a brave and noble character. He appears to think that most of the 200 Sepoys must have been killed, because they offered a despe rate resistance ; he himself only made off when by dint - of fighting and struggling he found himself clear. On being asked what he thought of the Aff ghans, and whether they were not cowards, the hardy mountaineer replied, " No, no, not cowards ; they are fine men ; but with anything like equal terms, say two or even three of them to one of us, we would soon make clean work of them"—saf ker was his charac teristic expression. NARRATIVE OF' MOOTERAM SINGH, NAICK AND ACTING HAVILDAR IN THE 6TH COMPANY OF THE 6TH REGI MENT, OR GOORKAS, IN THE SERVICE OF THE SHAH SOOJA-00L-MOOLK. The regiment was stationed at Charukar, in the mountainous country, to the north of Caubul, about 18 koss. It was at its full strength of 800 Sepoys. We had 500 horse composed of men of the country. and three guns; one was a large, long gun, the others six-pounders. The artillerymen were Moosulmans, from the Punjab, and had formerly been in Dost Mahomed's service. Charukar is a moderate sized town • our small fort, in which we were lodged, was at a short distance, perhaps half a koss, from the town. There was another small fort, called Lugh mm-kee-Gurhee, at a koss distance from our fort, where he had a company on duty, and where Major Pottinger, Captain Rattray, and the Doctor, lived. Sometime in the month of liartick (towards the middle or end of October); Shah Mahmood, with a son and brother of Meer Musjeedee, the Nijrow Chief, came to Captain Rattray, saying he had brought some recruits for the Russalahs (the 500 horse), and inviting Captain Rattray to go and inspect them. Accordingly Captain Rattray went, attended by his Moonshee, who was a Goorka, and understood Eng lish, named Mohun Beer. They proceeded till they found themselves in front of a large body of men, who forthwith surrounded them. Captain Rattray was shot by one of them with a pistol, and died almost instantly. The Moonshee, an active ..man, ran be tween the legs of the men surrounding him, and, getting outside of them, ran for it. Though followed and fired at by most of them, he . got back with only a musket shot in his left leg below the knee. The enemy, several thousands in number, now invested the fort. Our Kohistanee horsemen deserted us, go- ing over to the enemy. The fort had no ditch, — or any external defence. This was about noon. About three P.m. Lieut. and Adjutant Haughton arrived from Charukar with two companies. Great numbers of Kohistanees had by this time assembled from all sides, but on our apprqach they left the Mydan (open plain) and- took post in some grape-orchards, between us and the fort, firing at us from behind the walls. Finding that our ammunition was getting low, five out of six bundles of cartridges being expended, we made a rush and closed with the enemy. When we got amongst them they lost heart, fought badly, and even crept under the vines and bushes. We bayoneted some, and killed many with our Kookrees. The sahibs said, we had done for a thousand of them, though we lost only some five or six killed, and as many wounded. After this the Adjutant returned to Charukar with the companies. That evening the enemy again surrounded the Lughman-kee-Gurhce, keeping the people in it at work all night. Next day about eight A.m., Adjutant Haughton, with Quarter Master Salusbury, three companies and a six pounder, again went to the assistance of Lugh man-kee-Gurhee.. The enemy had assembled in great force, more than 20,000, but they hid them selves in various ways, and many lay down covering themselves over with their choph (sort of grey cloak), and were not discernible at any distance. As we neared the fort they came out from their conceal ment, and got all round us. We kept them off till our ammunition ran short, when we retreated fight ing' and brought back the six-pounder, as also the body of Ensign Salusbury, who was killed. We had 100 men killed and 50 wounded, and two artillery men killed and three wounded. As we neared the fort the rest of the battalion came out. There was THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.

Esq., Parliament-street, one of the Council, and late President of the Royal College of Surgeons) I can with much" satisfaction recommend to the public the boot or shoo which is denominated "Impilia.° Its peculiar advantages over all other boots or 'shoes are, that it is imper viable to wet and damp, and always gives an agreeable and constant warmth to the feet ; is also elastic, and is admirably adapted to tender and criprded feet from gout or other melndies_ April 6, 1842. . • . ANTHONY WHITE. (From Dr. Paris, of Dover-street, London. ) I have examined and worn with egmfort and satisfaction shoes constructed with intermediate soles of felt, to which you have bestowed the name " Imptlia.7 They undoubtedly pos sess an elasticity and capacity of adaptation to the form of the foot not possessed by ordinary shoes, and they have the rare merit of not creaking. They are, moreover, warm and dry, and I am not able to discover any objection to their use on the score of health. • J. A. PARIS, NI.D. .4 DAVIS, SPONGE MERCHANT • and BB USH MANUFACTURER, by special appoint ment to her MA.;ESTY, H. R. H. PRINCE ALBERT, their. Graces the Dukes of Somerset, Montrose, Northumberland, and Argyle, the Dowager Duchess of Bedford, and numerous families of distinction, 33, STRAND, begs to acquaint the Nobility and Gentry that hehas constructed a HORSE-BRUSH upon anew principle, suitable for race horses, bunters, and chargers, and horses if all descriptions. It cleans with half the usual labour. This unique invention has the power of laying the coat beauti• fully smooth, at the same time producing a gloss like velvet.

We captured one out of three large broad-cloth . green flags, and got off into the fort with the water, losing 12 men killed and Jo wounded. Five men had died of thirst.. We poured some water down the throa`.s of many who had lost all conscious ness, and revived them. The water lasted three days. The officers themselves served it out in small quan tities to those most requiring it ; the men, at times. almost taking it by force through the frenzy of thirst. The enemy during all this time continued to annoy us with their fire ; they made low calls for water, fired at us with their jeZaits, doing great mischief, .while our muskets would not carry so far. On the 17th day the water was all gone. We got some Doombah sheep's flesh to eat for four days. The fat, and eating the meat nearly raw, in a manner took off the extremity of our sufferings from thirst. Our Adjutant now, prohibited us from going out, saying that so many of us had been killed. Two Affjhans came in with fruit, and offered to supply us with water if paid for ,doing so. The sahib gave them some ru pees: I dont know how much, but a good large sum. They told us that they would let off the water so that it should flow again towards us, and told us what hour of the night it would come down. We went out to Meet the water, but they had dealt treacherously, and we were surprised - by the enemy, and lost five men. The next day, early, supposing us helpless, the enemy istretripted' to storm the fort; the shot came in like a hail storm ; a Bengal Baboo was among the killed, a shot going into his mouth. By order of the Adjutant we cut up our tents and those of the officers, with the suleetahs, and made into bags, filling them with earth and placing them as a sort of a parapet, and firing from behind them. In this way four or five days passed. Men sometimes stole out for water at night, and seve ral were killed or wounded in doing so. Our suffer ings from thirst were very great. The enemy several times brought up scaling ladders ; but we shot them down, so that they relinquished the attempt. We buried the sergeant-major, and between forty or fifty men, in a pit dug inside the Fort. The smell inside had become very bad, from so many sick and wounded. The enemy constructed a mine, commencing it in a Faqueer's Takinjah (a Faqueer's residence, generally walled round), about a musket-shot north of the Fort; this I heard afterwards, for their operations were not perceptible ; and about eight o'clock at. night of the 24th or 25th day they sprung it under a bastion. A great many, I don't know how many, of our people were destroyed. The enemy came rushing in, but we beat them back, and kept them out for two hours. The great gun here did good service ; the Doctor served the vent and Mr. Rose rammed down. Finding there was nothing to he done, we sallied out about eleven at night. We had Major Pottinger and Adjutant Naughton in doolies ;. and there were some Bunniahs, camp followers, 95 women of the Regiment and a few children, and about 50 wounded sepoys ' • there were about 200 men left fit for duty, but weak and parched with thirst. We got as far as Rara Bagh, 4 koss towards Caubul, the enemy following us. There the road was deep and narrow between walls. Here they were, waiting for us ; we were surrounded. All became'noise and confusion ; the enemy fired into us, and broke in among us fifty to one ; I can give no account of others. We fought as well and as long as we could. Seeing all was up, I fled towards the hills on our right, westward, with six others, and passed the re mainder of the night as I best could. The ground was cowered with snow. We remained concealed all the next day. We had a seer of Atta and a seer of Dal among us,, brought from the Fort. When it grew dark we started for Caubul, for we had heard nothing of the rising there, and reached Hajee Khanke killa early in - the morning. Some 10 or 12 horse men and 20 footmen came upon us, and stripped us and robbed us of everything. I had 60 rs. and two gold mahurs. They were, going to cut us down, or shoot us, but they spared us when we declared ' ourselves Illoosulmans and repeated the Kubriah. One Of my companions ran away, and Ido not know what became of him. I and the five others were shut up five days in a sort of fort, but the owner of it, Bowadeon, on my declaring myself a Syad, libera ted us, and went with us about a koss towards Jellala bad. Proceeding alittle way- on, we were taken by the followers of a great Sirder, whose name I cannot recollect (he and Captain Burnes had been intimate friends, and he had a telescope and other gifts pre sented to him by Captain B.), and brought - to a house and a sort of fort, about four koss off. We were kept there 20 days. They made us do all sorts of work, and fed us on the refuse of their meals. I never saw the chief. He was with his men at Caubul. His son only was at home, a fine handsome man. Finding us awkward at our work, he turned. us out to go wherever we might choose. There was a trader there from Gurbund with camels. He employed us two days in tending his camels,' and turned us off cause one of them died. We found our way naked and hungry to Caubul, where we remained wander ing about, kicked and buffeted, ill-treated and abused, suffering from cold, hunger, and misery, many days. I cannot say how long, for I was so wretched that I heeded not the lapse of time. We joined the Moam Sahibas when they left the Balla Hissar, and accompanied them to jugdulluck. Thence, at the dispersion of the troops, I fled alone across the mountains northward; at the end of a day and night I came to a place called Char Bagh, where I found some Khetre Bunniahs. There is a small fortification there, and a Dhurumsalah (Serai.) They befriended me and gave me food three days. There was a large kafilah of camels there, bringing rods of various kinds towards India. The Bunniahs took me with them, secreting me at times in the Suleetahs, and dressing me as a Faqueer. We crossed the Caubul river and the Koonur, and came into the country of Baoo jan Padshah. The Bundiabs were plundered by the Moosulmans at the seventh day's journey from Char Bagh. There were two Faqueers travel ling with us : I staid with them, taking a road through a mountainous country, and coming out by Attoek ; thence I crossed the river and Came to Loo dianah via Eawul Pindee, Lahore, and -Umrutsir,.. on 10th March, 1842. over the gateway, and the other over some IVi e irolv prisoners, were left standing, forgotten in the hurry, and have not been heard of. We continued to•make good our ground outside our fort, having the guns also with us, for 12 days. We had a small quantity of water in a hole, near the fort, formed by excavating when building up the mud walls of the fort. Each man had a seer of it the firstday, less and less daily till it was all consumed. Captain Codrington had his left My home is about flveNkoss from Lohooghat, east, in the Goorkhalia.

PESTILENTIAL EFFLUVIA IN THE ZE EN - AND 3c HOOR D CATJBUL PASSES.. A 31ed(ea1 Correspondent has pointed out to us source : of obstruction to the advance of our armies on Caubul by the line of Jellalabad and Khoord Caubul, to . which we have not hitherto adverted. It is not only fearful in its magnitude, - but sad and inise ruble indeed,' in its nature ; and even. were it not - .too. to prove the source of disease and death: to our troops, is sufficiently terrible to fill the hearts of the- stoutest with dismay. Betwixt the entrance of Khoord Caubul and the frightful gorge, at Jugdulluck is a distance of thirty miles : over this •• melancholy space are at this moment strewed the bodies of 15,000 unburied dead, with beasts of burthen probably to the extent of about 4 or 5,000 more. The bulk Of them will, in all likelihood, be found in the '-Khoord Caubul and TCZeen passes themselves, about 9 miles in length : how long, alas, must these remain vast receptacles ofunsepulchred bones! Preserved for several months from putrefac tion as these sad relics must have been by the snow ; from the present date, till the setting in of winter again freeze them, and from the ensuing spring once more to the following winter, they must form reser voirs of effluvia as intolerable, in its stench as fatal in its malarious effects on the constitution. The mias mata inhaled at Ali - Ainid seems to have at one time sent nearly one half of General Pollock's army to the hospital. • To account for the existence of a putrid atmosphere in the Kybcr pass is most difficult : it would be far more so to explain how it was possible for any other to exist in Tezeen and Khoord Caubul for years to come. arm shattered by a musket ball on the 3d day,. but continued with the corps, using a sling till the Bth day, when a ball entered his left breast and passed out through his back. He died two days af terwards. Major Pottinger was also shot on the Bth day, through the left thigh with a musket ball. We suffered much from thirst, . some men quite mad from it. On the 12th day the enemy came down in great numbers, shouting and beating drums, threatening to exterminate us, vowing to say their Namaz (Mahome dan prayer) inside the fort that day. We fought hard. Our gun ammunition was expended, and we rammed down ha,ndfulls of our musket practice ammunition halls. We killed and badly wounded 1,-500 of them, (so the sahibs said, and so we thought too) and beat them hack; but more came on, and it wa.s like taking a lota of water out of the Ganges. On the 13th day they gave us little trouble, seeing our desperate state, and knowing that we should perish of thirst. We had been five days without water. This day the Ar tillery men deserted. Captain llaughton, our Ad jutant, while trying to prevent them, had his fore arm chopped off, and his neck badly cut, with a sabre. We yof the .guns inside the fort, placing the six pounders on a bastion and the large gun in the gateway. We had no gate or door, none having been put up, nor any means of dosing the entrance. On the night of the 13th day sem: of the men stole out, • found water in the vicinity, and brought some wet clothes, from which they wrung out the water into the mouths of their relatives and friends. Mr. Rose, seeing this, spoke cheerfully to us, saying that he would soon get plenty of water for us. Accordingly, about tweWe' at night of the 14th day, he took 100 men (I was one), ,every man carrying a water 'vessel of some sort, the Bbeesitez of the Begimenti and others, and went out in thg. direction of the town. We came to a sort of cut or trench, nto which they bring water from the fillls.forintiga4ng the fields:' It was breast deep. W e all drank our bellies full. The water was so sweet, we filled our -vessels and began our return ; but missed the way, and stumbled on the enemy's camp. Th ey , were all ask ep. We happened to come upon Shah Mahood's own tent.' lie was shot, and a • bayonet DEFERRED ANNUITIES.

EAST INDIAN GOVERNMENT, A letter, dated Calcutta, April '2O. states that it is re ported in that city that Lord Auckland's private Secre tary has carried away some important papers by mis take, and also that Lord Ellenborough has been much oppoSed by some members of his Council, who were friends of Lord Auckland. His Lordship has left them in the lurch, and is gone up to Allahabad. He has ordered Sir Jasper Nicholls (the Commander-in-Chief), tai meet him there. The writer adda, that he hears that Colonel 1)u Bois de Janeigny, who had charge of the two missing diamond necklaces, sent by the late King of Oude to Queen . Adelaide, as well as the 12,0001. in trusted to him for the expenses of the mission, and who, by the last mail, we heard was in . Cl4na, as an Envoy. from Louis. Philippe tp watch our proceedings there, is about to visit some of the northern States of India again. He continues- - " What, could induce the Whig Govern ment to admit French Consuls in India ? It is ereatiror so many depots for intrigues against ourselves." „, . de,-eZ '2-' ~// ~. 11, 01 g '1 4 A • ,•.., H OF SIR AtEX. BURNES. Subjj.:tied will be found a melancholy narraCve, the only trustico :piv one very probably we s h a ll cree have. of the murder of Alex. Burnes, furni s h e d by a n at i ve servant who witnessed in person the Matter h e pet fuses to describe. It has every aiTearanee or truthfulness ; and for our own part we have no iteritation in attaultinv, to it the fullest credence. It is melancholy to think that Sir Alexander and his brother pfmAhed front treachery such as this ; and that they In.;=.l't have been saved had they retired in time to the canton.gents ; an d not pressed it too strictly to be their duty to remain, - where they were : As you must be deeply concerned to I•larn any details of the events which led to the death of the late lamented Sir Alexander Burnes and his brotNer at Caubul, I do myself the honour to forward you the deposition of Bowh Sing, late a Chuprasse in Sir Alex— ander's service, who was an eya witness of the el-cuts which terminated so fatally : he was a faithful Servant, and his statement may, I conefive, be fully relied on. DEPOSITION OF BOWIE SINGH. Sir Alexai;lerßarnes — wa:lLliinfOrmed by his Affghan servants the day previous to his murder, that there was a stir in the city, and that, if he remained in it, his life would he in danger ; they told him he had better go to the cantonments. Thi s he declined doing, giving, as his reason, that the Afthans never received any injury from him, but, on the contrary, he had done much for them, and that he was quite sure they would never injure him. On the day of the murder, as early as three o'cleek. in the morning, a co sid (Wuflee Mahumed) came to tr e! I was on duty outside ; he said, " Go and inform yo ar master immediately, that there is a tumult in the c it 3-, and that the merchants are removing their goods a a d valuables from the shops." I knew what my master I Ad said on this ' subject the day before, so did not I Ike awakening him, but put on my chupras and ' , Alt i inc the char chouk. Here I met the \Vuzeer Num) Mut Dowlah going towards my master house. I jir sr . :2,- diately returned with him, and, on ou rrival, awoke h'im, f r , when my master dressed quickly, an went to the Wt - t; ,eer and talked with him sometime ; the WuzeOr ende&vot meal to induce him to go smmodiately into egntonment,4 , as suring him it was not see to remain in the city' ; h e however persisted in r emainin g , saying, "if I go, tho Af ghans will say I was afraid, and ran away ;" he Iniw ever sent a note to Sir W. M`Naghten by Wulleg ~31ah omed. A Chobdar came from the King to call the ' \Vuzeer, who asked and obtained permission ,to , go ; at rte door the \Vuzeer said to Sir Ale3o - ider Burnes, " Why, you see already that some of Aeleer Oolah Khan's people have collected to att tek: you ; if you will allow me, I shall disperse AIPM ;" he (Sir A. Burnes) said, " No, the kicg has sent for you, go• to him without -delay." The Witzecr accordingly mounted_ his horse, and went away. The house :gates were then closed, and were in a little while surrounded by Ameer Oollah Khan and his people. Ifydur Khan, the late Kotwal of the city, whom Sir Alexarler Burnes had turned out of office, brought fuel from the huma.m on the opposite, side of the street, and set lire to the gates. The Witscer shortly returned from the Bala hisser with one .of the King's pultuns ; on eeing the gates on tire, sad the immense crowd about, he took it apparently for grtnted that Sir A. Burnes h s - id either eiliiped, or been destroyed, and withdrew the regiment. At this tine the whole mob of the city i.'as collected and th'e house in flames. The Jemidalt of chuprassees told. Sir Alexander Burnes that there was a report of a regiment having come to assist hlen ; he was going. up to the top of the house to look - , And had got half way when he met an Affg,han, who said he 'had ' been looking about, and that there was rot the least sign of a regiment ; my master then turned back, and remarked there was no chance of assi.laneet coming either from cantonments or the King. A Mussulman, a Cashmecree, came forward and, said, • if your brother and chuprassees cease firing • on the mob, I swear by the Koran that I will take you safe through the kirkee of the garden to the chan doul, the fort of the Kuzzilbashes ; the firing ceased,. and Sir A. Burnes agreed to accompany him, and for sake of disguise put on a chogt and loon gee. The moment he came out of the door a few paces with the Cashmeeree, this wretch called out this is Sikundur Burnes ! He was rushed on by hun dreds, and cut to pieces with their knives. His brother, Captain Burnes, went out with kim, and was killed before Sir Alexander. Captain Bnoad foot was shot sometime before in the house, and expired in half an hour. There was a guard of one Havildar, one Ns* and 12 Sepahis: they were all killed early in the affair; all the Hindoostanees except myself were killed; his Sirdar Bearer, who is now with me, escaped, as he was at home ; I got away by having an Afighan dress ; all the I Affghan servants deserted ; got into cantonments after being hid two days in a shop. Sir Alexander forbid the sepoys and others to fire on the people until they set fire to the gates. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. DISTRIBUTION OF THE BOMBAY ARMY ON THE IST MAY, 1842. H.

This is a most judicious arrangement ; but really, considering that nearly one-half of the Native Troops of this Presidency are serving in Scinde, we conceive that the Bombay Army should altoguher be iFtieved of the duties at Aden, and that. a Madras .Native Regiment should now teke its turn there. We lament to learn that very sad accounts have been re ceived of an inroad of cholera on the Ist Eur. Regiment on its march from Kandallah to Poonah. Between the 20i1) and 24th inst. ne tester than 52 caseshad taken place, of which 18 prov'ed fatal.
