FEAVER'S EMBROCATION for GOUT , RHEUMATISM, TIC DOLOREUX, &c. Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq. , Surgeon, of Carmock, near Walsall , • Staffordshire , on the 6th July last, to the Editor of the " Times :" ~ si r ,— I think it a duty I owe to the public to make known the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fractured any ancle severely. From the great tender.. ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and adematons, and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy. In, adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, 1 am ac tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice against everything in the shape of quackery, 1 should be the last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know to be noth a ing but a nefarious traf fi c and humbug. obedient sta ff servant, ordshi re a n l y w o ua;l4,a• 1 . 11 1 EVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon.

The finest description of Watches at the lowest prices, consistent with maintaining that character for superiority of workmanship which has dis tinguished their establishment dining so long a period. The Compensated Duplex Watch, upon the principle of their Chro nometers, to which Government awarded the prizes three suc cessive years, combines perfect accuracy with the utmost ele gance, and is not surpassed by the Pocket Chronometer. W. and Son have devoted considerable time and attention to the manufacture of the Patent Lever Watch, and considerably reduced the price; likewise the small Horizontal, for ladies. They can offer a large selection of Second-hand Watches, at little above have the original cost. The utmost value allowed for old Watches, in exchange. The most experienced work men in the repairing department are employed on the premises, for foreign and English manufacture. WEBSTER and SON, 3, Birchin-lane, Cornhill, London. CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN COLONEL THOMPSON AND MISS MAR TINEAU. COLONEL THOMPSON TO MISS MARTINEAU. " 131ackheath, Nov. 9, 1842. " Dear Miss Martineau,—The office committed to me is of such extreme simplicity, as hardly to warrant the assumption of a more formal and official style. I am directed to transmit to you a copy of the resolu tions passed at a public meetinc , on the Ist of the pre sent month. A misunderstanding as to the indivi dual who was to forward them to me may be pre sented as the reason why they came into my hands last night. " I feel sure you will not be offended at any proof that to the poor your political economy has been preached. It. is true that, at the meeting in question not many rich, not many mighty, were present. The swink'd artisan was there, and the smoke dried ope rative, whom great men tax in his soap, and then call unwashed.' And yet the discordant unanimity (concordia discors, for the benefit of critics) was omi nous to the enemies of progress, and may account for much of the animosity displayed in the anti-popular press. Scarcely a speaker who did not hint questions deep and high, on which there was dissent from you, and possibly from everybody there besides. Yet all joined, without one dissentient voice, in giving you their meed of thanks for the service you had rendered them. The sentiment of the meeting seemed embo died in the address of one lady speaker, who explained, with the precision of a Lord Chancellor, that the people did not meet to determine wherein they agreed or disagreed with and from particular opinions, but they metto thank you for having shown them the way to improvement generally, and taught them how to examine and compare, and so finally form judgments for themselves. " Believing that more ambitious meetings have had less consequence, I am, yours very truly and sincerely, " J. PERRONET THOMPSON. " Miss Harriet Martineau, Tynemouth." PORTUGUESE BONDS. A Meeting of the Holders of Portuguese Bonds was held yesterday at the George and Vulture Tavern, Cornhill, for the purpose of hearing the proposition made by the Portuguese Government to liquidate the claims of the Bondholders, and, the reply prepared by parties representing a large portion of the loans. Sir I. L. GOLDSMID took the Chair, and slid he had taken the liberty of calling them together in con sequence ofa communication which he had received from the Portuguese Government in reply to his letter. The last letter to them stated that he would be glad to have any communication .the Government might think proper to make, in order that he might submit it to the Bondholders. He had received that commu nication, and he had taken considerable pains to ascer tain the sentiments of the Bondholders upon it, as many of them could not a tt en d , i n order to determine upon the line of conduct the Bondholders ought to pursue. He then came forward to tell them that he had heard those statements, and they were satisfactory to him. The original loan was 700,000/., and he had got the concurrence of the holders of 600,0001. for the line of conduct which he recommended. There still remained a number of Bondholders who held from 100,000/. to 150,0001. of bonds r and the present meeting was ealled_f e r. the_ purpose of consulting their opinions. If they differed from the line he proposed he should be most happy to represent their interests to the best of his power to the Portuguese Government.—(Hear, hear.) He would take the liberty of reading the communication which had been made to him by the Portuguese Go vernment, and also the answer which he had prepared, after which he would make a few observations upon it. The first letter was signed Barao do Tojal, and was as folhws at any future period ; but that if Brazil should fail in this obligation, Portugal should contribute for the redemption of the bonds in 1836, 17,5001. a-year, until the amount of those bonds shall be so reduced as to bear to the 732,0001. Brazilian bonds, the propor tion of 1001. to 1211. 55., or in other words till the amount of bonds of 1836 shall be reduced to 620,000/., which would be accomplished in about five years. This is all that in any event it is suggested that Portugal should pay out of its own funds ; for as the subsequent contingent payment of 17,5001. a year is intended to entitle Portugal to withdraw a corresponding proportion of Brazilian bonds depo sited, this sum would in fact be raised out of the Brazilian bonds, and would not come out of the funds of Portugal. Thus, then, we see that the effect of the proposal under consideration is that a debt of above 360,0001. is to be extinguished, in one event, without any payment whatever, by the party who owes it ; in another event by a payment of 17,500/. for five years ; either of which modes of pay ment must be admitted to possess the merits of singu lar novelty and remarkable convenience to the debtor.. But are they equally convenient to the creditor ? We have only to look at their effect upon the Bondholders of 1836, in order to be convinced that they are not. In the first place, according to this plan, the v ßondholders would for the present receive no part of their capi tal or arrears of dividends. In the second place, if the Brazilian Government kept np the sinking fund to the amount agreed of 5 per cent. per annum, the redemption of the bonds of 1836, which ought to take place altogether and immediately, would be effected by driblets during a period of about 14 years. If the Brazilian Government did not keep up the sinking fund, the redemption would be effected at a rate so much slower still, that it would last about 30 years, and the only mode by which the Bondholders could arrive at a more speedy settlement of their claim would be by availing them selves of the option of accepting, at the end of the first five years, 1211. ss. of Brazilian stock in exchange for a 1001. bond of 1836, including the present ar rears of dividends thereon, or, in other words, of taking 1211. ss. Brazilian stock in lieu of 1111. ss. in money, or at the erroneously high price of more than 91 per cent. " Whether I have, in every respect, quite correctly understood the effects of a scheme so complex as is involved in the first proposal of the Government, I will not venture positively to assert. But thus much at least is clear, that this scheme is so intricate, and would be so uncertain in its operation, that it is so contrary to the spirit of the contract of 1836, that it proposes to purchase such enormous pecuniary ad vantages to the Government by imposing such severe sacrifices upon the Bondholders • and lastly, that it would protract for so long a period the final liquida tion of the claims of those who have been greatly in convenienced and injured by past delays, that I can have no hesitation on the part of the Bondholders whom I have consulted, not only in declining this pro posal, but also in stating that I should decline any other proposal founded on a similar basis. " I proceed, therefore, to consider the second propo sition, which is so far satisfactory to the Bondholders, as it appears to them to be grounded upon the only principle which is correct and consistent with the con tract of .836 1 the principle, namely, that the bonds to be received from Brazil ought to be applied at once, as far as they will go, towards the discharge of what is due for capital and arrears of dividends on the bonds of that year, and that the deficiency should be supplied by Portugal. But in applying that principle, the hold ers think that the proposal involves errors so grave and obvious, that it is only necessary to point them out, in order that the Government itself may be anxious to correct them. It is suggested that the 632,0001. bonds to be received from Brazil should be accepted by the Bondholders as worth 622,7021. — that is to say, at the price of 85 per cent. ; and that for the balance (which even according to this mode of calculation would remain due) of the principal and interest, Portuguese Converted bonds should be issued to an equal nominal amount—or, in other words, that the Bondholders should accept Portuguese bonds at the price of 100 per cent. Now, in your letter of the 12th of October last, you de scribed the terms proposed by the Convention of the 22d of July for the payment of the Brazilian Debt as 'so unreasonable,' that the Portuguese Government had hesitated to ratify the Convention, a remark which (as you were yourself a party to the former Conven tion fixing the amount of the debt) of course applies to the mode of payment proposed, a payment in Bra zilian bonds, taken at 85 per cent., but of which the market value is about 56. It does then appear not a little singular that although in speaking of Brazil, your debtor, you considered this mode of payment unrea sonable, you should now desire to force upon us, your creditors, without any loss on your part, the same unreasonable mode of payment so far as respects a portion of our demand. But this is not all. For Portugal, improving upon the plan (which when practised by Brazil it complained of) of forcing creditors to accept in payment stock at an exorbitant price, desires that after taking for part of our demand Brazilian stock worth about 56 or 85 per cent.,we should receive, for what, even according to this mode of cal culation, would still remain due to us, Portuguese stock, really wo:th 33 per cent. at the price of 100. Now, Sir, if you, observing the caution of diplomatic language, have yourself declared to be unreasonable the first part of their proposal, when made to you by Brazil, what term do you expect British creditors, who are in the habit of speaking plainly, to apply—what term would you yourself apply to the last ? " But let me put the plan suggested in another point of view, which will perhaps make its real na ture more obvious still. There is now, as already no ticed, due to each holder of a Portuguese bond, of 1836, 1111. ss. On the Brazilian bonds being divided, every such holder would receive, as you remark, about 1051. of Brazilian stock ; and if this be reckoned at the present market price of 56 (and the present market price is the only one at which it can be reckoned, by men who deal in facts and figures, and not in fancies), it would be worth about 581. 16s. This sum being deducted from 1111. ss. would leave a deficiency of 521. 9s. due to the holder, and which ought at once to be paid by the Government. And what does the Government propose to give in liquidation of this debt ? Nothing, absolutely nothing, but 221. 10s., Portuguese Con verted stock, which at the present market vrice of 33 per cent. is worth about 71. 10g. Ihus, then, it is proposed to liquidate a debt of 5 2 /. 95., with stock worth about 71. 10s., or, in other words, by a payment of rather less than three shillings in the pound. I am sure, Sir, that the Government will at once perceive that if at the very moment when it is expressing, and I doubt not sincerely, its desire to discharge its obligations to the best of its abilities, the Bondholders accepted for so much of their debt as their special security is insuf ficient to cover, a payment of less than three shillings in the pound, they would thereby be proclaiming to the world their conviction, that such a payment is all that is to be expected on debts due from your Government, and not specially secured, and would thus act in a manner at once inconsistent with any due regard to their own interest, and deeply in jurious to the credit of Portugal. " For the reason above stated, I am under the necessity of declining, on behalf of the Bondholders, for whom I am acting, the second proposal as well as the first. - _ " And here I believe that I might, without im propriety, stop. For I have fully explained the grounds of our objections; the Government would, I think, have no difficulty (as I have no doubt it would be desirous), to frame a fresh proposition which might better conciliate with its own interests the rights of the ;Bondholders. I think, however, that time may be saved by my at once suggesting a scheme such as the holders whom I have consulted would be disposed to accede to. In forming this scheme, we have acted upon the belief, that on the one hand the Government feels how essential it is to the credit of Portugal (the loss of which could ill be compensated by any immediate pecuniary advantage) to pay its debt in full, (and this would not be done, nor would it be considered by the_ public to have been done, if we were compelled to take in payment stock at more than its market value,) but that, on the other hand, it would be inconvenient, with reference to the present means of Portugal, immediately to discharge the whole of that portion of our demand which would not be covered by the Brazilian debt, and that the Go vernment would therefore prefer to 'discharge a part of it by instalments. " With these views I suggest the following " PLAN OF LIQUIDATION. " Ist Article—That the 732,00 be 732,0001. bonds to be re ceived from Bra zil shall immediately divided among the holders of the 700,000/. bonds of 1836, which would give to each holder of a 100/. bond about 1054. Brazilian stock. " 2d Article—That this stock shall be taken at the present market price of 56 per cent., yielding, as the value of the 1051. stock, 581. 16s. in money, which sum being deducted from the 1111. ss. now due to each holder of a 1001. bond, would leave 521. 9s. as the balance due to him. "3d Article—That one-halfof thisbalance of 521. 9s. shall be at once discharged by the delivery of a suffi cient amount of Portuguese Converted bonds, autho rised by the decree of 2d November, 1840, and va lued at the present market prise of 33 per cent. "4th and last Article—That the remaining half of . _ the above-mentioned balance of 521. 9s. shall be paid by four equal instalments of 61. 1 ls. each, on the Ist of December, 1843, 1844, 1845, and 1846 ; each such instalment to be discharged by the delivery of a sufficient amount of Portuguese bonds of the descrip tion before referred to, and valued at what may then be the market price of the day. " It now only remains for me to remark, that I be lieve this plan to be well calculated to reconcile the interests of Portugal and of the Bondholders, and that I trust, therefore, it will receive the assent of the Government. " The advisers of her Most Faithful Majesty must, I am sure, deeply feel how important it is to the honour and welfare of Portugal, that this long protracted matter should be settled at once, and upon a satisfac tory basis, more especially as they have through the Portuguese Minister at this Court, and with a view to expediting that settlement, requested and obtained the support of Great Britain, (a support usually re served for the claims of British subjects) in aid of the demands of Portugal against Brazil, and have thus in the strongest manner directed to this question the attention of the British Government.

He hardly knew that it was necessary, after the ex pression of sentiments by the gentlemen whom he represented, to say many words ; but he would just call the attention of the Bondholders to the nature of their position. The principal holders were original holders, and therefore the loss to them would be very severe, because their loss would be to the extent of 111/. ss. 11d. There was another party who' had been driven by circumstances, and the want of money, to sell their stock ; to them he could afford no relief, because they sold at a sacrifice. But the party who purchased that stock did not feel this loss so severely, because they had purchased with the pros pect of a small profit. Any of these par ties he would most willingly represent as much as any other. He had taken a great deal of trouble to ascertain the sentiments of the holders of bonds throughout the country, and from all he had received communications entrusting him with their claims. He thought the assurance of the Ministers of Por tugal was strong and conclusive, and that it would be honourably adhered to.—(Hear, hear.) It was there fore with no little surprise, that he had received the communication which had been read. He was quite sure that the suggestion did not emanate from the Portuguese Government, but from some person in this country. He had known of one in stance, and he spoke advisedly of a plan having been forwarded from this country to Portugal, but which had not been acted upon. He should send his proposition, backed by the consent of nearly the whole of the Bondholders, the number of the bonds being sent with it, which would show that he was the bona fide representative of the Bond holders therein. If any persons entertained a dif ferent view of the case he would pledge himself faith fully to represent his views to the Government of Portugal.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. RAMSBOTTOM wished the names of the parties who had entrusted their claims to the chairman, but it was objected to by the meeting. The CHAIRMAN then inquired if any gentleman ' present wished to subscribe to the proposition which had been read. He had already the names of persons holding nearly 600,0001. of the 700,000/. Mr. SAMUEL SAMUELS, and several other gentle men, who represented large Bondholders, said they would leave the matter entirely in the hands of the Chairman. Baron TOLGAS said, the position in which they at present stood had not been touched upon. In 1836 a negotiation was entered into, at London, for the payment to Portugal of the Brazilian Bonds. That negotiation was to have been ratified in a given time, but after the lapse of five years they found themselves in precisely the same position as in 1837. The question between the Bond holders and the Portuguese Government appeared to him to be how they could best obtain the ratification of the treaty between the Brazilian and Portuguese Governments, unless Sir 1. L. Goldsmid would gua rantee the carrying out of his plans, as the Portuguese Government might delay for another five years. The CHAIRMAN said he had the highest opinion of the honesty of the Portuguese Government, and he did not believe they would in any way act dishonourably. After a very long conversation, Mr. THORNTON said he thought the best plan would be to call a public meeting at the London Tavern, and he should therefore propose that a meeting be held next week. Baron ToLnas seconded the motion, which was lost, no one supporting it. It was then agreed thatth• letter read by the Chair man should be sent forthwith, and the meeting sepa rated.

MISS MARTINEAU'S ANSWER. " Tynemouth, Nov. 11. 1842. " Dear Colonel Thompson,—l believe I was more surprised then any one to see in the newspapers my correspondence with certain friends of mine, on the subject of a pension from the late Government. After receiving your packet, I can never regret that this private transaction, in which I acted merely with re gard to my own feelings, has become known. I ac cept, with thankfulness, the expressed sympathy of the parties of whom you are the representative to me; and I need not say I consider their acknowledgment of my sincere desire to promote their interests a high honour. Nothing in the whole transaction pleases me so much as the diversity of opinion, through which all the parties concerned have penetrated, by means of earnestness on a moral question, to a point of heart felt agreement. However we may mutually differ in regard to the great political questions of the time, we all agree that there can be no peace in benefiting by the proceeds of an unjust system of taxation. In de clining so to benefit, I acted, as I have said, for the comfort of my own feelings only, and in privacy. As to the other matter touched upon at the meeting—my writings on social subjects—my chief desire has ever been to stir up the minds of the unprivileged classes to the patient and thoughtful consideration of their own interests. That my aim has been understood, and my sympathy in their worldly difficulties appreciated, is, and ever will be, a high gratification, renewing much of the pleasure of inch labours, after sickness has brought them to a close. " Allow me, dear Sir, to thank you for the kind ness of the letter which accompanies the resolutions, and believe very truly yours, " HARRIET MARTINEAU. " Colonel T. Perronet Thompson, Blackheath, Greenwich." NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS YESTERDAY.--Three dread, ful accidents occurred in the course of yesterday the unfortunate sufferers from which were all ad mitted into St. Thomas's Hospital within the short space of an hour. The first was that of James Burn, 48 years of age, a labourer, employed at Galley Quay, Thames-street, who, whilst engaged in piling up a large quantity of bar-iron on the wharf, the whole pile, weighing upwards of 20 tons, suddenly fell, and buried him underneath. Upwards of an hour elapsed before the unfortunate man could be extricated. His right leg being broken to pieces, on being received at the hospital, amputation was immediately resorted to. The ( peration had scarcely been performed when another man, named Joseph Blackman, nearly 70 years of age, a drayman in the employ of Messrs. Marsh= and Co., brewers, of Lewisham, was laid on the surgical table, with his right leg fractured in a shocking manner, caused by a butt of beer falling upon him, whilst unloading at the Nelson Tavern, Deptford; amputation was also in his case resorted to. Another man was admitted into the hospital, whose name was Thomas Roberts, 40 years of age, a back maker, in the employ of Messrs. Young and Co. of the Borough. He was engaged in erecting a new vat at the brewhouse of Messrs. Barclay and Perkins, when he overbalanced himself, and fell to the ground, a height of upwards of 30 feet; he was taken up in.. sensible, and conveyed to the hospital, where it was found that his skull was fractured, and his right leg broken. Not the slightest hopes are entertained of his recovery.

" Dear Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 9th instant, inclosing two propositions from the Portuguese Government, for the liquidation of the debt due to the Bondholders of the loan of 1836, contracted by me on the colla terala security of the debt du e f rom B raz il to Por tugal, which propositions you request me to lay to inform you clone of their reso lution thereupon. before ~ In the eonformity Bondholders, ‘Nith this request, I have best to ascertain the sentiments of the holders of as large a proportion as possible of those securities; and I am now enabled to make to you the following ob servations as the result of the opinions ofholders of stock of 1836, equal in amount to between 550,000/. and 600,0001., out of 700,0001., the total amount of stock of that loan remaining in circulation. " The Bondholders receive with satisfaction your statement that the Government is actuated by a sin cere wish (which, indeed, the Bondholders have always felt confident that it must entertain) to settle this matter on the basis of its engagements. But they think, and have no doubt that the following remarks will show, that this desire on th e par t o f the Govern ment would not be carried into effect by either of the proposals which it has directed you to submit for their consideration. "With regard to the first proposai, to deposit (namely) in the Bank of England the bonds to be received from Brazil, in order that the same may be applied in the manner which you have specified, (and which would occupy a considerable number of years) in payment of the dividends and towards the redemption of the Portuguese bonds of 1836, it is to be observed that this delay is directly contrary to the original contract, which directs that what is received from Brazil shall be applied, as it is received in redemption of the bonds in question, and also to the letter explanatory of that contract, which was signed by you and the Charge d'Affaires of Portugal in June 1837, in consequence of my having made a further advance of ninety-two thousand pounds for the payment of the dividends on the Reg enc _, ~) bonds, and in which letter you engag e on behalf of the Govern ment that all bonds and securities which may be de livered by Brazil, in respect of its debt to Portugal, shall, at the time of the same being delivered, be de posited in the Bank of England, in the joint names of myself and the age nts of the Gnvernment in order that the same may be immediately applied in accord ance with the original contract for the loan of 1836. ~ B u t this is by no means the only objection to which your first proposal is liable. Both your pro ositions admit (about which there Can, indeed, be no difference of opinion) that t here •is now due to each holder of a 1001. bond of 1836, 901. for principal, and (allowing for a half d ividen d to be paid next month) 21/. is. for arrears of intere st. This amounts to 111/. ss. on each WO/. bond, or to rather more than 778,000/. on the 700,000/. bonds! ow, the 732,0001. stock to be delivered by Brazil (if N estimated, not at the fanciful price of 85 . per cent. set upon it by the Brazilian Government, but at the market price of 56 per cent., which similar Brazilian stock now bears) is worth rather less than 410,000/. ; and as the con ' tract for the loan of 1836 obliges the Portuguese Government to contribute any s um by which the Brazilian debt may be insufficient for redeeming that loan, it follows that Portugal ought now to pay for that purpose the difference between 778,000/. and 410,0001•, or about 368,0001. Now what sum does your first proposal suggest ' that Portugal should contribute in lieu of the sum now really due of above 360,0001. ? Is it suggested that the contribution should be 300,000/. or 200,000/. ? No, it is proposed that if Brazil should` fulfil (as it is to be presumed thaV it will) its obligation respecting the sinking fund on the new Brazilian bonds, Portugal should pay nothing either now or THE ADVANCE ON CAUBUL. The following extracts, from a letter received by ' the last mail from an officer with the army under Ge neral Pollock, will amply repay perusal : " Camp, Mamma Khali, Aug. 28, 1842. " Since I last wrote a sudden change has taken place in the counsels of our Government. Instead of retreating, as was intended, we are now actually ad vancing upon Caubul, while General Nott, with an almost equally numerous army, is approaching the capital from Candahar. We left Jellalabad on the 20th, every one rtjoicing in the prospect of making some effort to relieve our unhappy prisoners, and willingly giving up all but the barest necessaries for the sake of making our scanty supply of cattle convey our luggage. The officers put up in miserable little tents, and take with them scarcely more than a change e ot t h h e a s t . ha A v l e an a y re o a f l t l h men olNeedbihitaNe half •he ts th t e e h iru a su t aallln,uamnd othfoesl ber. But we all feel assured of having done the right thing, and have a well-grounded confidence that God will prosper us. We have now advanced about 30 miles from Jellalabad, and have been here since the 23d, and are likely to continue till a depot of provi sions shall have been prepared. On our arrival we drove about 1,000 of the enemy from this post, and have kept possession of it. The fight was not a se vere one. The enemy, of whom about 100 were horsemen, were posted on the outskirts of a small village, situated on the bank of a deep ravine, the bed of a mountain torrent, about half a mile in their rear, and towards their right a small fort, surrounded by walled gardens and vineyards, and close upon the bank of another ravine, running parallel to the former. The land between the two is a narrow spur, sloping gently down from a rocky promontory of the range of mountains called the Sufeid Koh. Our force amounted to about 2,000 infantry, six guns, and 500 cavalry. The infantry were divided into columns, the guns in the centre, and the cavalry on the right ; the latter being intended to make a detour and cut off the enemy's retreat. Notwithstanding our superior numbers, the Affghans waited till we approached within a thousand yards, when the guns opened upon them, and they almost immediately took to fight. A small body of 200 infantry (Captain Broadfoot's Sap pers and Miners) pushed forward in pursuit, and I accompanied them. " The enemy, however, were not to be overtaken ; on reaching the fort they divided into two parties, one crossing the ravine on the left, the other taking re fuge in a village higher up the spur. We followed the latter. The cavalry had reached the village be fore us, and we found it deserted. Here we waited for nearly an hour, till the remainder of our slowly moving force came in sight, and then pushed on to another village situate close under some low rocky peaks jutting out from the hills. This also was aban donedti on our approach, the enemy leaving in their hurry a number of tents and ammunition, ;Nvileichfotuhtelydr had supposed to be in a secure place. them, however, posted on the tops of the rocks, re.

We were, _ fact, among the toriously employed 1 But while we were thus me ) the arger body of the enemy (wh ich as I mentioned, crossed the ravine onour left) a ppeared about a mile off, the hills. Colonel Taylor, o f the 9th Regiment of Foot, with about 50 Europ eans an d a b out 150 Se moving slowly towards or, whom he had hastily collected together, instantly premd to wards them, hoping to intercept them, but they wer e too strong for him, and attacked him so briskly, that he was obliged to retreat, with three officers, a n d perhaps thirty men, killed and wounded! Th e main body of our f o r c e had in the mean time halted at the fort, about two miles in our rear, and we were now ordered to rejoin it. As we retired the Affghans ad vanced, gladly regaining possession of their store of ammunition, which we left where we found it, not having the means of carrying it away. It consisted principally of two large bags of powder, and the Aff ghans, eager to replenish their flasks, crowded round, cut open the bags, and while each was scrambling to help himself; the powder exploded, and blew up the whole party ! How many lives were lost we cannot exactly ascertain, but our accounts say not less than 50. This anything but untoward event enabled us to make good our retreat in comparative safety, and we have been here ever since engaged in the benevolent h t a o sk use o li f c e u c t a t n i n g l a3 d , o o w t in r h e l a - e n r d 3 s , o t rne,e while b o u u r r n ca i n g t t e every d excellent forage among the standing crops. With a very Christian spirit, we are doing all the evil that we possibly can, and it will afford us the most un feigned satisfaction if we should succeed in our zealous attempts to convert this beautiful and richly-culti vated spot into a barren wilderness. That we cannot., by any wicked device, permanently destroy the vines is a sad source of regret; but of the gardens full of mul berry, pomegranate, peach, apple, and pear trees, We hope not to leave one standi ng . I s not all this dabo lieal ? Is there not more the spirit of hell than of heaven in it, and yet what is to be done—how can it be avoided? Our existence depends on our redu c i ng these savages to submission, and they leave us no other means of injuring them. It is better, perhaps, after all, to take their trees than their lives, and all the mischief we can do them is but a poor revenge for their barbarous massacre of the thousands of our fel low soldiers, who begged of them nothing but their lives. Old newspapers, letters, books, music, scraps of clothes, and all sorts of fragments found in the villages, prove, if proof were wanting, how active a part these assassins took in the murderous destruction of the Feringee army. Even now they hover arounti us in caves and rocks, watching, like beasts of prey, ready to pounce upon any unfortunate straggler from our camp that may happen to come within their reach, and at night they prowl about firing into our camp, in the hope of hitting somebody in the crowd. Such a set of unmitigated villains I never heard of; but our tree-cutting, together with the re sult of the fight, has had the intended effect. They are now anxious to conciliate, and are bringing in lots of supplies. The two principal chiefs have fled to Caubul, and the probability is that we shall meet with little or no opposition either there or on the road. General Nott is rapidly advancing, and will probably take Ghuznee without firing a shot. The officers who were imprisoned there have arrived at Caubul, and Akhbar would gladly take the whole of our prisoners to Balkh or Bokhara, where they would be quite ou t of our reach ; but th e chiefs will not allow him to re move them, and there is reason to hope that when we reach Caubul they ;will be surrendered to us. The next month will be an eventful one. The crisis is approaching in which some great and important changes must take place ; and though it is impossible to look before us without anxiety, we are all sanguine of a most happy result. Our hope is to get posses sion of our prisoners, guns, and stores, and to return to Jellalabad before the winter sets in. We have three months before us, and after that there will be time to march back to the provinces. The climate is now delightful, and we feel it the more :so from having been: so long confined in that fur nace of sand and dust, Jellalabad. We shall per haps move forward to Caubul about the 6th. For the next fifty miles the road passes through barren, rocky mountains, without a particle of forage for the cattle, and with numerous difficult passes which may possibly be defended by the enemy. Here we have met with several skeletons, the remains no doubt of some of the poor fellows of the Caubul army, the last remnant of which was known to reach this place. There is a hill some four miles in advance, on which about forty men of the 44th made their last struggle, and there, with the exception of four or fi ve men, w h o were taken prisoners, the whole were slaughtered. This morning, much to our surprise, the Prince Futteh Jung, the second son of Shah Soojah, made kis appearance in camp, attended only by a couple of horsemen. He had long been imprisoned by Akbar, and we had supposed he had been tortured to death ; but it seems he made his escape by cutting a hole in the roof of the house where he was confined, and con trived to get clear off by the aid of a man who was supposed to be his and our bitterest enemy. His being with us will no doubt further our views most materially. He has a strong party in the country, and with a British army to protect him, the people will no doubt submit to his sovereignty, and in pro portion desert Akbar. Timour, the eldest son, and real heir to the throne, is with General Nott, who is advancing with a powerful army from Candahar, and being attacked on both sides by overwhelming forces, it is most likely that Akbar will give up the contest, and relinquish . our prisoners without striking a blow."

In the corn market a limit e d b u siness has b ee n doing, and prices generally a shade lower. At the beginning of the week there wus a fair demand for cotton, and steady prices, but the demand has in creased and a good b us i ness h as been done. The market in Manchester, for both goods and yarns, is better, and there was a better market on Tuesday'. The stock of go o d s an d y arn i s by no means heavy, which inspires the hope of constant employment for the operatives d ur i ng th e w inter., In general bust. ness in Liverpool, there is not much activity. In the share market the principal business is for investment, which is at present limited in extent, without much fluctuation in prices.—Liverpool Mercury.
