The small image of this god was worn by the Chief Judge while engaged in listening to cases brought before him. A. similar emblem was worn by the High Priests of the Jews, and it is remarkable that the word " Thiimmin " is not only translated " Truth," but, being a plural or dual word, corresponds to the Egyptian word of "Two Truths"—i. e. "Light and Truth "—breastplates hav ing the figures of the two gods, " Re" (Light) and " Thmei (Truth) represented upon them have been discovered. Priests with Scarabzei.

Attendant priests also fan the id honour ol and offer homage as it passes forward. The festivals in of Apis lasted 7 days, on which occasion a large concourse of people assembled at Memphis—the priests led the Sacred (living) Bull in solemn procession, every one coming forward from their houses to welcome him. Pliny and Solinus affirm that children who smelt his breath were thought thereby gifted with the power of predicting future events. The tokens which distinguished this Sacred Bull at its birth were a white spot resembling a crescent on its right side, and th m e b a lup under its tongue in the form of a beetle, as pretended y priests. The people believed him to be the cause of the swelling and inundation of the Nile, which produced fertility and abund ance, and celebrated his festival at about the period of this annual occurrence with every demonstration of rejoicing and literal abandonment to the intoxication of joy all over the kingdom. , Many temples were erected• and dedicated to " Apis," and also to " Serapis," the divinity of the Column of Measurement—the Nilometer I N. 1 34 The decorations of the drapery upon the bull and carriage are principally cons- I posed of the first flowers that spring from the earth after the recession of the flood—i.e., the Lotus and Meliolotus. Priests with the pretended God " Canopus," or Water Offering to the God of the Nile. "It is said that the Chaldeans, trans porting the fire, which was their God, into all the provinces, offered to let him combat with those of other nations, on condition that if he remained the c onqueror they should adore him. The priests of Canopus accepted the challenge and devised this stratagem. They fabricate in Egypt pitchers ofan extremely porous earth, through which the water filtratesand is purified. The Arch-priest took ono of them, stopped the pores with wax, and painting it of various colours filled it with water, and made it his god. He covered it with the head of an ancient statue, said to be that of the pilot of Menelaus. The Chaldeans presented themselves ; the contest began ; they lighted their fires around the vase ; the wax melts, the water runs through the vase and extinguishes the fire. The fraud of the priest gave the victory to Canopus over the Chaldean. deity. From that moment his imago has been re presented with very short feet, a narrow back, and the belly and back rounded like a pitcher It is under this form that he is worshipped as the vanquisher of all the gods."—Ruffin Histoire do I'Eglise, livre second.

" The Eye of the World," " The Source of the Nile," " He I who has many Eyes," a form of Ammon, wearing the " Ati," and having the Crook and Flagellum; regarded as the author of Time, from the word, " Osch-Iri," " the maker of Time." The principle office of this deity was to judge the dead, and to rule over that kingdom where the souls of good men 'wore admitted to eternal felicity. Th is deity was very famous— his temples and priests were to be found in al most every part of Egypt; the sacred rites of Osiris were a profound mystery, never revealed. His name was even avoided, as of too august a nature to be mentioned. The "Ivy," with which the Priests decorated themselves, was sacred to him, and also the " Meliolotus." No. 6. The Sacred Boat of the Amenti, or Lower Regions, with the four genii, or demi gods (bearing emblems of life and power) and their vases of " Amenti," or that subterraneous region where they (the Egyptians) imagined the souls of the dead to go after their decease. The first genius is " Amset," " Judge of the Amenti" (human-headed). The second is " Hepi," " Con cealed Number" (baboon-headed). The thirdis " Tuautmutf," " Adorer of his Mother" (jackall-headed), The fourth is " Kabh-senuf," " Refresher of his Brethren" (hawk-headed). The Sepulchral Vases have heads in shape of the four genii of the dead, and each was employed for holding a portion of the viscera of the deceased, embalmed separately and deposited in them. On the " Amset" Vaso is inscribed the speech of " Isis" to the dead ; on that of " Hepi" is a similar speech from " - Nepthys ;" on that of "Tnautmutf, one from "Neith;" and on that of " Kabh-senuf," one from " Selk ;" the purport of each being an assurance of protection, and of being "near thee," " beside thee," or " I come to be beside thee," The Sacred Boat is followed by the symbolic " Eyes of Osiris," or of "The Sun," emblems of the all-seeing presence of the Di vinity.. Note.—Besides the Four Amenti, here wore 42 As sessors or judge's of the 42 Crimes, from which a good man should be free ;_ and these also differ from the 36 Demons mentioned by Origen that presided over the human body, and were invoked to cure the infirmities of the peculiar member immediately under their protection. the peculiar member immediately under their protection.

THIS EVENING, and every evening during the week, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-changing variety of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos sessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them on the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibition, for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that he sees any one thing ; but it is a comedy really performed by the com pany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and unex pected denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of the public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and au ex travaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and 'ashionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Theatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid he has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con tinuous repetition. Ho believes that no professor of his art has at any time or in any place been honoured with an amount of success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual. Ho would attribute that success to three causes; first, that in his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the (lay ; and thirdly, that, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those who honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring whoso ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by resorting to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, the designing have succeeded in making dupes of the credulous. The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro fessor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in t crest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which attend a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the " Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's expose of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the communications which reach him on the subject. He regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions ou spirit-rapping, are expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum, how tables can be made to rap is exhibited and elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his multitudinous correspondents. II e regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex traeted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septom "herb; and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri tual Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what he has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon tile solution of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. 'D. D. Hume, the author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of who, and what he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: —" This young man, who' is a Scotchman by birth, and now in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offered him 2,000 dollars per annum if he would perform at his museum in New York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could be bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for he was poor, young (under 20), an or phan, and in very had health : but he would have been afraid of losing his power as a medium, and he would sooner lose his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. He inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is ono of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whom might be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe in spirit-rapping—does spirit-rapping gain or lose by this accession to its adherents and, with Barnum's endorse ment to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated? Professor Anderson would believe not ; but, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a swindle, when he finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the Rev. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, he considers it t be time for him to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which it is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the Morning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel, in company with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that which the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that spirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad purposes. In the Alarming Advertiser of the following day, however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one who was present when he and Lord Brougham had their séance with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac cordion was conveyed by au invisible agency to my hand and then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through out." With such a statement, printed for the edification of the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day are permitting themselves to be deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the subject of a new work, and that a " spiritual c onvention" has actually been advertised to be held in St . Martin's- Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual ists of America, as given by him nightly ail the Lyceum, will be received by the people of England as genuine honest at tempts to provide au antidote for the bane of the spiritual jugglers.

The inhabitants of the little village of Karani, situate about midway between Balaklava and the Monastery of St. George, who had remained tran quil in their lettbitations during the whole of the siege.of Sebastoiool,liscsiapisag-fur...a..pixt..if.A2tistr. the whole of the time, rations from the allies to save them from starvation, expressed a wish since the fall of the place to be transferred to a point of the Crimea occupied by the Russians. Communi cations were made to the enemy and arrangements made to that effect, and on Saturday last they were embarked for Kaffa. Prince Victor of Hohenlohe was in command of the vessel that took them, and was accompanied by Major Ross and by some other officers, who went as amateurs. Ilango not being yet forgotten, due precautions were, of coarse, taken, and strict formality observed. Off Kaffa a Russian officer came on board to arrange about landing the emigrants. He remained to luncheon, and, on its being intimated by some of the Eng lish that they did not expect to be allowed to land, he thought it possible they might, and, finally, land they did. No sooner had they got on shore than they were surrounded by a crowd, including a number of Cossacks, who came down full speed. Each one of them was forthwith elevated upon a high Cossack saddle—rather an awkward seat for equestrians unaccustomed to such machines—and away they went at a scamper. Everything was done Cossack fashion—full gallop. They were taken to the country-house of Prince Gagarin, about two miles from shore, and were there courteously re ceived by the Prince himself, a man of some 60 rears of age, minus a leg, which he lost when cam paigning in the Caucasus, and who went about on crutches. The Prince spoke French, and told them he understood English. Chairs and a table were brought out of the country-house (over which the visitors were shown), and wine and fruit were placed before them, whereof they partook. The conver sation was well sustained, and, judging from the account of it given me by an officer present, almost cordial. Subjects connected with the war were not altogether excluded, and incidents of the siege were related. In the course of the conversation the Russian officer who had gone on board said some thing to Prince Gagarin, in which the English present distinguished the word " Kinbourn." The Prince replied by a passionate exclamation, unin telligibleaaEptutpageel aakrneudap,'o' upon w oa a n s fde t e h cla e pt r th e ue p r l e y o ,' f but in b intelligenceoin u r t i : i t y y ri to his foreign guests, and presently asked them what was the latest news. " Nothing from inTrpye bn the ue te f hi u me l Merely shrugged his shoulders and remarked that it was "la fortune de la guerre." Ho informed them of rather a curious fact, which was that by the great explosion of the French magazine in the Mamelon at the end of August persons in Sebasto pol were killed and wounded. When they returned on board he sent them a supply of wine and grapes, which they had expressed a wish to purchase before they knew that they would be allowed to land, and requested some tea in return. Tea, cheese, and 0114xthi,nght.laat it was thought might be accept tble were sent to him, and thus terminated this friendly little episode of the war.. The officers re turned to Balaklava on Tuesday, much pleased with their trip. I omitted to mention that they were permitted to see and converse with two of the men of the 10th Hussars made prisoners in the late skirmish at Kertch. All the officers with whom I converse on the sub ject deplore the necessity under which Government nods, or considers itself placed, o f filling up the gaps in our army in the East with recruits of ten der age and no instruction, pecularly liable to be struck down by disease, and comparatively ineffi cient in front of the enemy. Owing to the small ness of our army when the war began, and the heavy losses since suffered from sickness and the sword, some young and raw soldiers must in evitably be sent out, but it is thought that ought not be the case to such an extent as it at present is. It is asked why should not old soldiers be brought hither from the colonies, and replaced by recruits. We have seasoned and well-drilled troops all over the world—in Australia, Canada, the Mau ritius. In India I am assured that we have 30,000 British soldiers. Could not some of these be spared for next, year's campaign against the Rue use They would certainly go much further and beup much more slowly than recruits. There are the 78th Highlanders, for instance, somewhere iu India—a regiment composed entirely of old soldiers, and doubtless eager to join that sturdy an invincible division which now seems to be considered the re serve of the army, as the V i e'- 6 Garde was that of Napoleon's, kept for those o. sasions when an army must strain every sinew to ward off defeat or in sure victory, and when it is of vital importance to have a picked body of men who will die ere they flinch in fight or recoil a pace. Quite certaint is it that a Highland regiment would b o found, in he moment of severest conflict, worth double its num bers of the boys now to be seen working at Mr. Doyne's roads, and who may any day be called upon to close in deadly fight with robust and well-trained opponents. Far is it from my inte d n , - tion to depreciate the pluck and sp irit of Englan s youth, but those qualities lose half their value in war if they be not combined with maturity of frame, training in arms, i. and that con fidence in h himself and in his officers w hich timem and t e habit of drill and discipline alone can gve to the soldier. It is a well-known and proven fact that some of the recruits lately sent out w ere i g norant, on th_ their arrival here, how their musk et or Minie sh ou . ld e fired. They had been enlisted one day and em barked the next. And of these some were sent to take the Redan ! • ter the Cora- Among other preparations for win reissariat officers of divisions are getting up large supplies of stores, a useful reserve against the time when, notwithstanding the improved means of communication now in progress, transport will be infinitely more laborious and difficult than at present.

But, as if we could never keep out of extremes, the old story of the Russians retiring from the Crimea has been again revived. "The foundation of it lies in the report of deserters that several Russian divi sions have gone northward, where, none of them could tell ; whether merely to watch Eupatoria or to guard PerekoP or Nicolaieff. The 2d, 3d, 4th, and sth Divisions are mentioned as having gone. We know of the two latter being in the Crimea since the Battle of the Tchernaya:but we have not yet come across the two former, so there may be some confusion as to numbers. The preparation for our winter cantonment have at present absorbed all other ideas. All the final arrangements as to the disposition of the troops are ma de. The departure iof the Turkish army has loft a gap in our position towards Alsu and Vaunt- ka. Osman Pasha, -:-ill all the remaining troops, moved on Sunday, the 21st inst., down to Ka inieseh, and all of them will probably leave before the end of the ek. There are only about 2,000 infantry, a battery of artillery, and 3,000 cavalry remaining for embarkation, which, as a number of vessels are expected back from Suchum-Kaleh, will not require much time. The place which the Turks occupied will be now taken partly by Eng lish and partly by French troops. As long as the French hold their position on the heights of Baidar, the gorge of Vanutka and the lower road leading to it from Kamara are of minor importance, and can be guarded by a comparatively small force. The Ist Royals and the 71st, from Kertch, are destined for the purpose. The latter has not yet arrived, but the former has already in part taken up its position, and large fatigue parties are busy in carrying up the huts from the depot near the. Highland camp at Kamara. The position at the ford of Alsu will be occupied now by French. As it seems the intention to gua e r e d nn th ee e td heightsebyA Alsu eitißi thea ida r r e , s t t h o is f p o o u s r iti l o in n e w o il n l be the Tchernaya. Yesterday the first reinforcements for the Sar dinian army arrived at Balaklava. Each battalion is to receive 100 men, which will raise the Sar dinian Contingent to more than its original strength. As more than 3,000 men are being sent out, the Sardinian army will be stronger than before. The change in the weather had a very beneficial effect on the patients in the Pied.montese hospitals ; they are clearing out gradually. iikv_ ourselves,- hasp..,gotA good number of recruits, or rather new troops, are continually drilling and making promenades mili taires. On Saturday last General M‘Mahon, who is now General of a corps d'armee, inspected the Imperial Guard. It was one of the finest reviews imaginable. On Saturday last the Arabia took on board the remains of the English Light Cavalry Brigade des tined for Eupatoria. They were embarked from near the Ordnance-wharf, close to which the Arabia was lying. • - - CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Oar. 27. Now the excitement caused by the hope of offen sive operations and by the uncertainty in which every one was kept about his own movements has subsided, and all sanguine expectations of victories and rewards have sobered down, the allied camp begins more and more to assume the character of a cantonment. As visions of glory are laid aside for the year thoughts of comfort begin to arise in every mind. Scarcely a single hut has as yet been erected, beyond those which existed last winter, so that many even of the old regiments have not more than half a dozen of them ; in the regiments which arrived in spring and in summer there are none a' a Most of those who have stood since the begin ning of this.year have to undergo a thorough re pair. The now ones which are sent out now seem not much better. I saw one the other day which had been quite recently erected ; all the wood is cracked and full of crevices, and the knots falling out fast, leaving circular holes which produce a very pretty effect when the sun's rays pass through them, but which do not promise much comfort for the winter. I have not seen the double-boarded ones erected, but all the others require sundry contrivances to make them air and water tight before they will afford much shelter. It is a pretty general opinion that a double tent well excavated would be much more comfortable. Besides road-making and hutting attention is turned to getting up provisions to the general storehouse erected behind the Second Division, as well as to the divisional storehouses, so that any interruption of the traffic from unforeseen circum stances may not have any prejudicial effect on the supplies of the army. Even the transport mules have a brighter prospect before them than the few which remain from last year could have antici pated. There are arrangements made in each di vision for stabling them. From all we can see, the last directions about the positions which the allied armies are going to keep during the winter have been given, and all the movements going on are rather to regulate the details than with a view of making any material changes. The position chosen is certainly such that very little fear can be entertained of any disturb ance from the Russians. Both armies will be op posite to each other on a series of heights, with only a few accessible points, and separated by a kind of neutral ground formed in part by the Tchernaya valley, which as soon as the rains begin will be a most effectual barrier to an attack from either side, and on our right by the low range of bills which form the banks of the Upper Belbek before it enters the defile near Albaud. The apprehension of a Russian attack seems to have completely ceased for the time being, but the troops still turn out for parade before sunrise. As a great part, principally of the English army, has to go out every day for fatigue parties, this is the only parade they ever have, and I suppose it is kept up more for this than for any other reason. The English troops which formed part of the expedition to Kinbourn are expected back on Mon day next. The place will be kept in winter by the French. From Eupatoria we hear nothing except au oc casional " shave." Thus, the other day all Bala klava was full of the news of a victory at Eupatoria. The Candia was said to have brought it. The Rus sians had attacked' Eupatoria, were driven back, and the cavalry which sallied forth took no end of guns from them. Nothing has come to confirm these reports, so they may be classed in the genus " shaves." I saw a letter from an officer of the 13th Light Dragoons, dated the 19th ; they had just disembarked, after having been 10 days on board ship. There was only one boat to land the horses, and that cou ld no t work every day on ac count of the surf. They expected to feel their way down towards Si m ph ero p o l. They are distressed about fresh provision s , which cannot be got for love or money in Eupatoria. The day before yesterday the anniversary of the battle of Balaklava was celebrated by the English cavalry by a grand parade and manoeuvre on the very spot where the heavy cavalry charge took place. The display was, like the battle last year, favoured by the most beautiful weather, of which we have now had a run of nearly a week. Num bers of English, not a few French, and some Sar dinian offiCers were present. After having wit nessed the reduced state in which the cavalry was last winter, when the horses had sunk to the rank of half-starved cab-horses, it was satisfactory to see the regiments finer than ever. Notwithstand ing the numerous recruits and remounts, the evolutions were excellent. Although the whole Light Brigade is away in Eupatoria, the two remaining ones, the Hussar and the Heavy Brigade, presented a most imposing array. Only one could not help regretting again that they had no occasion to do anything, but were shut up in the mountains and gorges of the south of the Crimea, whereas they could have done such ex cellent service in the steppes of the north. Bat it is now to late to think of this ; in fact, sending the Light Brigade to Eupatoria looks rather like mouiarde apres diner. As, however, there remains nothing to do for them this year, measures ought to be speedilftaken to keep them in condition for the next. Lieut.-Colonel Clarke, of the Scots Greys, was sent down some time ago to provide for stables and barracks in the neighbourhood of Constantinople, and Mr. Lee, C.E., is actually busy providing both. In the beginning there seems to have been an idea of sending down the horse artillery, as well as the cavalry, but this seems to be given up, as stables are being constructed for the former here. The place chosen for the main part of the stables is at Hayder Pasha, behind Scutari ; but several other places on the coast, as Ismid and others, have been inspected for the purpose. The palace of Hayder Pasha will be appropriated as a barrack for the men, and the harem as quarterefor the officers. The order has already come out for the horses of absent officers to be sent down by the Himalaya, which will likewise take all the sick horses. She has brought in the Sardinian draughts, and will now be appropriated for the transport of cavalry horses. It ought to be done soon, for there are only a few days to dreaded November, which, according to the old traditions of the Turkish navy, brings ill-luck—that is, bad weather, in the ti lt Sea, and at the beginning of which the T until the Golden Horn to enjoy their winter's rest, Our sun's rays in April brought them outthisag fleet used to hasten to the kindly shorelsi old tradi tion last year did not upset lion of the Turkish marine. have been issued The following General Orders since my last : Sebastopol, Oct. 23.

Yenikale, October 4, 1855. Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that the joint French and English Expedition to Taman returned from thence yesterday, the 3d inst., and that three companies of the 71st Regiment, under the command of Major Hunter, which formed the British part of the force, have resumed their former quarters in Kertch. Enclosed is the report of Major Hunter of his pro.- ceedings during his stay in Phanagoria. The arrange ments ho made for executing the duties entrusted to him, and providing against the desultory attacks to be ex pected from the enemy, gave me complete satisfaction. I regret, however, that I have, notwithstanding, to re port the loss of three men, who were surprised by the Cossacks whilst stragglingfrom their party, one of whom was killed and his body found, and the two others sup posed to have been captured. The French and English gun-boats, having been sud denly recalled, placed us under the necessity of abandon ing a large quantity of timber, procured from the public buildings in Phanagoria. We, however, collected and transported to Yenikale a very fair supply; the rest was burnt, and the enemy will find it difficult to provide shelter for any number of troops there during the winter. • I have, &c., (Signed) C.

Sir,—l have the honour to report the return to Kertch of the French and English troops under my command, from our joint expedition to Taman. It is with much pleasure that I recur to the assistance rendered by one to the other, but I have to regret the loss of three sol diers of the French Marine, and three soldiers of the 71st Highland Light Infantry; each party having strayed beyond the limits prescribed to them, was surprised by • the Cossacks. The bodies of the three French and the body of Corporal 111‘Dougal alone were found murdered,' each having received several wounds from ball and lance. The other two men of the 71st Regiment are still missing. Having proceeded in quest of the missing men with both the French Chasseurs and the Hussars under my command, I was still unable to obtain any clue as to their fate. During sl u ig: i ey s ucceeded in approaching within 4 (four) yards of my advanced sentry, was killed ; b u t , owin g to the dark ject which was lower than our leve l .
