In compliance with the numerous applications for good and cheap Lamps, by the consumers of their famous Oil, have determined to supply them and the public at large with all descriptions of Lamps of the best style and workman ship at wholesale prices. Much has been said about various Lamp Phenomena; which, no doubt are all very wonderful in their way—but Clark and Co aubmit to the Public, as an un equalled Lamp Phenomenon, the following list of prices :- 1. Capital '1 able Lamps - 2. Superior Cambridge Reading Lamps, various 0 9 6 3. mit Lamps, from 4. Table Lamps of a most superb description The above are only specimens of the prices at which C. and . - Co. are selling their. Camps. Their famous Oil will burn quite equal to Sperm in every kind of Lamp, without alteration, but if a light resembling the Bude be required, Then their Fire Proof Smoke Consuming Lamp Glass should be used. Four gallons of their. Oil go as far as five gallons of Solar Oil, so in reality their Purified Oil, is even cheaper than common oils at 3s. 6d. per gallon.

THE COMPLEXION.—GOWLAND'S LO TION removes all impurities and discolorations of the skin, and promptly re-establishes a clear and healthy tone of sur face, while its sustaining properties in obviating the effects of variable temperature upon the tint of the Complexion is veri• fied by the continued freshness usually limited to the earlier periods of personal attraction.

OAUTION TO FAMILIES.—The high repu l.../ tation, and consequently, great demand, for the under mentioned Preparations, have excited the cupidity of some SHOP-KEEPERS, of apparent respectability, but destitute alike of honour and talent, who, for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, basely attempt to impose their pernicious 'compounds upon the Public as -the real " MACASSAR OIL " for the Hair, and " KALYDOR" for the Complexion; they copy the bills and labels of the original articles, substi tutinti either a FICTITIOUS NAME, or the word " G ENUI NE "in the place of " ROWLAND'S." . . To frustrate suck imposition, it is necessary, on purchasing either article, to see that the word " ROWLAND'S" is on the wrapper, as follows, without which none are Genuine. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, Price 3s. 6d., 7s. ; or Family Bottles (containing four small), 10s. 6d. ; and double that size, 21s. per bottle. 1 , „„* To ensure the genuine article, the words " Rowland's Macassar Oil" are engraven on the back of the label nearly '1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters.

RYAN!, Proprietor. The largest and most splendid in the world at the under-mentioned charges,' warranted equal in every respect, as regards quality, style, and fashion, to any emanating from the most fashionable houses at the West-end, where those who pay prompt are obliged to suffer for persons who take unlimited credit. The Proprietor having six very extensive establishments, advantageously situated in the principal manufacturing towns in the kingdom, and having capital at com mand, he is enabled to take every advantage of the fluctuations of the markets, independently of which he is a manufacturer of a great part of his stock. His enormous consumptions ables him to buy immense quantities of goods of very first-rate uality for cash, considerably below their real value; and as he pursues but one system in selling, charging a uniform per centage, the lowest ever offered to the public : the result is that those who honour him with their confidence and commands will receive the full benefit of his capital and experience. An immense quantity of pods always on hand, suitable for immediate use, made in first rate style and fashion, and at really astonishing prices. The Proprietor particularly invites attention to his immense stock of waistcoats, the newest, and richest designs are always kept on hand, ready made, splendidly cut, and manufactured in the best possible manner: and he can say, without exception, that he is the largest maker in the kingdom, 1,000 Waistcoats being manufactured daily for his various Establishments.

HYAM, PA N TECHNETHECA, 36, G RACECHURCH-STREET, CITY. EDINBURGH ALL-HALLOW FAIR. This great annual fair, which began on Monday last, was this year held in a stubble-field on Mr. Proudfoot's farm of Gorgie Mains, lying to the east of the farm-steading, and south side of the Slateford-road and toll-bar, and about a mile from town. As usual, Monday was occupied in pre liminary matters, such as making arrangements for the accommodation of cattle, and for af fording buyers an opportunity of examining the various lots exposed. On Tuesday, business began, but was the very reverse of brisk, buyers evidently keeping back, though by three o'clock .great deal of stock had changed hands. The number of cattle exhibited was larger than last year by from '2,000 to 3,000, there being on the ground from 11,000 to 12,000. As to the condition of the cattle there exists a difference of opinion, some with whom we have conversed contending that, as com pared with last year, the cattle were better, while others maintain that by far the greater part of the stock exhibited are much inferior in condition to those brought forward at the last Hallow Fair. We are inclined to be of the latter opinion ; and, considering the great drought and scarcity of grass which have prevailed during the last season, we do not well see how it could be otherwise. Prices may be fairly quoted at—for Angus and Aberdeenshire three and two years-old (in both of which there was a moderate show) ; three-year-old, 8/. to 101.; two-year-old, 61. 15s. to 71. ; and High land stots, 81. to 91. Of this last description there was a middling supply, but not near so many as last year. For Highland queys there was a mcderate de mand-71. may be stated as a fair price ; fat cattle were very scarce, and sold at Bs. per stone, which was fully Is. less than last year ; milch cows sold from 81. of 10/. ; lean stock was also very scarce. _ _ On the whole, the market may be considered rather dull than otherwise, and both buyers and sellers are grumbling rather louder than usual at the result. Prices, compared with those of last year, are down to a certainty to the extent of about 2/. a-head, and this not on a particular description of stock, but the decline has been general, and a great many left over for sale to-day. As the stock which appears at Hallow Fair (which may be considered the winding-up market of the season) is, generally speaking, what is left over unsold at preceding fairs, and therefore inferior in point of quality, it is not easy to compare the prices obtained here either with Falkirk Tryst or Doune Fair; but according to the best information we can get prices have declined, quality considered.—Seotsrilan. MUNIFICENT BENEVOLENCE.—We are informed by the gentleman who was the almoner, that the late Jonathan 13ackhotise, Esq., of Darlington, during the whole of last winter supported and relieved weekly not less than 60 destitute families in that town, at his . own expense, besides giving meal, or coals, or cash to others, according as their necessities required.— York Courant. MORTALITY IN ENGLAND AND WALES.—AS com pared with the average number of deaths in the same quarter of the four preceding years, 1838, 1839, 1840, and 1841, there is an increase in the past quarter of no fewer than ,2,474. deaths, the average for those four years having been 36,595, while the deaths in the past quarter have'been, s as above stated, 39,069.—Medical Times. CORONERS! INQUESTS. Mr. Higgs; the Coroner for Westminster, held an inquest yesterday afternoon at the Chequers, Tothill street, upon the body of Aaron Gibbons, aged 39, a sawyer in the employment of Mr. Langton, Pedlar's acre, Lambeth. George Crace said that on SatUrdav, the sth Nor. last, he and four other men were drawing a stump of oak, about 20 feet long, and weighing 15 cwt., upon small truck, up a narrow passage to the saw pit. In consequence of the wood being much warped they could not get it properly fixed upon the truck, and it vibrated very much. Deceased aid another man were supporting it upon either side, but it ultimately swerved, and before the deceased could get out of the way it fell, crushing his right leg above the ankle.. He was carried immediately to Westminster Hospital. Reginald James,. house-surgeon, said deceased was admitted into the hospital with a compound fracture of the right leg, so severe that amputation was con sidered necessary, but the patient would not submit to the operation. He gradually got worse; and died yesterday morning. Verdict, -" Accidental Death." Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, and -a respectable Jury, were engaged yesterday afternoon at the Red Lion, Liverpool-street, Bishopsgate-street, in inquir ing into the circumstances attending the death of Elizabeth Brown, aged 19. T Fro. the evidence of Mr. Unwin, 57, Lombard street, and others, -it appeared that the deceased and her cousin, a young lady of the-aarnerage, were cross ing Cheapside on Monday evenfrog, about half-past *l4 whemone of the Piccadilly Mile-end buses unfortunately struck-the two females, and threw them down, the wheels passing over and very seri ously injuring both. The females were removed to Dr. Jells, of Finsbury-circus, where the subject of the present investigation died ; the other, however, is in a fair way of recovery. The cause of death was concussion of the brain, several ribs fractured, and a severe .injury -of the intestines. Verdict, ' 6 Acci dental Death. LOSS OF THE RELIANCE (EAST INDIA.MAN.) Some further and interesting particulars of the loss of this vessel were brought yesterday by the Com mercial Steam Navigation Coinpany s ship Emerald, Captain Wingfield, which left Boulogne at ten o'clock on Wednesday night, and arrived at London-bridge at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, after. a boisterous passage, occupying 16 hours. The account given by Dixon, the carpenter, to Mr. Thomas Edmond, the .engineer of the Emerald, from whom the reporter re eeived it, is, that the Reliance, as already stated, Struck about two o'cloCk on Saturday morning. - He remained on board till four o'clock, the sea breaking right over during the whole of that time, and washing many of the crew overboard. About four o'clock the ship parted from stem to stern, one-half of the vessel falling over to seaward. This portion of the vessel was immediately thrown back into its former position by the surge, crushing to death several of the crew who had fallen into the chasm, and other s , w ho we re clinging to the sides. Ile describes, as being most vividly in his recollection, the fate of a poor fellow who was thus jammed literally to death, his head re maining above the deck, while his mutilated remains were suspended below.. The carpenter states that at the moment she parted, he threw off his jacket, jumped into the sea, and seized a spar, which the current was hurrying towards the shore. Dixon, who has received several severe contusions about the head, from coming into contact with the rocks—describes a most heart rending incident which occurred just before he reached the land. A .youth, who had fast hold of a plank, which was floating within a few paces of himself, became so much exhausted that he could hold on no longer. At this moment Dixon felt the sand with his feet, and called to his fellow-sufferer—but the boy was worn out—he had only strength enough to say " I can't, I ca n 't," an d i m mediately sunk. The car pbeonarted, r cannot dotetseolrlibwohs as what number a n elderly gentlemanr of passengers were o n between 60 and 70y e ar s o f a ge, who had been wounded in India. The bodies of Captain Green and the chief mate were brought into Boulogne from Merliemont on Tuesday, and buried in the cemetery of that place on Wednesday. The brother of the former, who left England for Boulogne on the first intimation of the wreck, was present, and superintended the arrange ments of the funeral, which was attended by many very respectable persons. C apta i n Green, when his body was picked up, h a d on hi s p il o t coat, and was lashed to a plank. Th e ma t e, w h en found, wore a life-preserver, but the a i r was ex h aus t e d. Time body of one of the crew, a boy, was picked up on Monday at Boulogne , eighteen mil es di stant, w hither the cur rent had carried it ; a n d th e sea there i s stated to be literally covered with tea a t fl oo d- t id e . The carpenter was to have come home in the Eme rald yesterday, but he has, at the desire of the Con sul, been left behind, to identif y any other bodies that may come ashore. The ,Emerald has brou g ht over a l arg e case of let let- ters from India, which drifted ashore shortly after the wreck. They were claimed by Mr. Hamilton, the British Consul, on the part of her Majesty, and forwarded by the above vessel to the Postmaster- General. The case was entire, and the letters, on examination, proved to be uninjured, except by sand and water. Many of them were delivered at a late hour last evening. Another case, bearing a label, " Down's Muster-book-- Quart er ly Victualling Ac count," and directed to the Admi ra lty, also recovered, arrived at the same time,. and was forwarded to, its M r . Bleaden. destination by the Secretary, LLOYD'S SHIPPING. CUSTOMS' REGULATIONS AT SYR A. The following is an extract of a letter received at Lloyd's, addressed to w. Dobson, Esq., from their agent at Syria, dated " Syra, Oct. 31. " Some modification has been made in the new law of Customs, and it is generally expected that this law will shortly be either tutally rescinded, or greatly modified." We stated, last week, that the Mayor had kindly extended the hours when all passengers could apply for their permits , that is, that they could be now ob tained everyous to the departure of each day that the beats sail, a boat, and we observed that every father and mother would gratefully remember the attention to their s on one comforts that prompted such measures. We were e hourto four,prev previous not then, however, aware of the most important benefit attending the new regulations, or we should have written in far more energetic terms of praise, and in doing so, we feel we should have been only expressing the sentiments of every English man upon the important addition of comt which has been extended to all travellers. We allude to the permission all now possess of embarking, whenever the boat sails between eleven at night and five in the morning, on board the steamers any time between ten and eleven o'clock, with their famili es , and quietly turning in fur the night. Thus will be avoided the inconvenience and discomfort of waking . up children at 12, 1,2, and 3 o'clock in ; ' the morning, dressing them, and tramping the streets arid the port in the dark to have to wait for half an hour or more at the permit-office, with all its disagreeables, to finally embark too late to again go to bed and too early for children, who are a plague for the rest of the voyage ; all this can be nosy avoided, the children and servants can go aboard at ten, quietly lay themselves to rest, and most likely not awake till beyond the in fluence of the sea. It should be remembered that when once on board they cannot again return on shore. For these changes in the laws of the local police, we are indebted to the Mayor ; again, in the name of every Englishman, we return him our thanlis.—Bodogne Gazette. Some two or three weeks since an Irish lady—the Countess Talbot (sister of Lady Shrewsbury, and who is a channeinesse), being in delicate health, was taking an airing in a close carriag e i n the Bo i s de Boulogne. The horses took fright at some object and ran off with the carriage, plunging at length into a thicket. Madame Talbot, who is rather advanced in life, fainted, but the servants cried Out so loudly for help that they were heard by a lady and gentleman who were driving through the wood, also in a close carriage, and who immediately ordered their attendants to give their aid. The gentleman himselfalighted and directed that the traces of Madame Talbot's carriage should be cut, as the horses, though the carriage was stopped by the brushwood, were kicking violently. He then assisted in removing Madame Talbot,. who was still insensible, to his own carriage, and having learned who she was, and that she lived in the Rue St. Domi nique '(Fuubourg St. Germain), orde re d his coach man to drive thither. Just as the carriage had reached the Pont de la Concorde, Madame Talbot opened her eyes, and looking earnestly at the lady and gentleman who were supporting her, discovered in them King Leopold of Belgium, and the Princess Adelaide, sister of King Lcuis Philippe.. The Messrs. Arnott and Co., of Bridge-street, have . just imported a new. an d very beautiild pattern of shawl, called the " Snoring - Pto - ..w."-,e vost." 7? tti 7, alt paper.

" 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 meeting 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 teel.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 hous 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 i joined, without one dissentient voice, n 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 met to thank you for having shown them the way In improvement gene:ally, and taught them how to. examine and compare, and so finally form judgments for themselves.

" Dear Colonel Thompson,—l believe - I was more surprised then any one to see, iu 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 bec.tome 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 r consider their acknowledgment of my sincere desire to'promote their interests a high honour. Nothing in the whble transaction pleases me sl much as the diversity of opinion, through which all the parties concerned have penetratad, 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 queitions 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—lny 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 such labours, after sickness has brought them to a close.

Thii improvement consists in simplying the apparatus, by means of which this manufacture, which was a very ' complex and dangerous operation, is rendered so , simple that a man of ordinary understanding may learn it in six hours. It is not necessary to compress the gas, nor is there any steam-engine required to manufacture it. The work of four men on the new plan is equal to that of forty on the old one—lastl3:, the quantity of lime necessary to purify the gas is very inconsiderable.

One example of its beneficial effects is familiar to most English persons who know Paris. A street, called the Rue du Dauphin, runs frOm the Rue St. Ho nore, nearly facing the church of St. ROChe, to the Rue de Rivoli. This street was, until lately, not fifteen feet wide, a circumstance which enabled him, by whose decree it was long afterwards widened, to pave the way to that pinnacle on which he stood for many years, for it was up this street that "the. Sec tion," in 1797, having been. defeated on the Pont Royal, were approaching en masse to attack the Tuile ries, where the Convention was sitting, when Napoleon, who had been only tWelve hours previously entrusted with the military command of Paris, opened upon them a fire of grape, which, notwithstanding the im pediments offered by the bodies of thousands of the un happy wretches, made those marks on the wall of the church of St. oche, yet visible, though fined up, by order of King Louis Philippe,.with the utmost. ni cety and art. • The operation ofNapoleon's wide street decree is nowhere more striking than in this * Rue du Dauphin, which is now of the regulated width (af fording space, for three carriages abreast with pave ments), all the houses being, moreover, in a direct V Tin; SUPPOSED CHILD MURDER. -- Last night the Jury re•-assembled at the Savoy Tavern, Sayoy-street, Strand, to investigate the cause of (kith Of an inf an t, the second about two days old, whiCh was found recess of IVaterloo-bridge, on • Saturday7inorning born medical the inquiry maninqauilsa r s t t i by Brown, the bridge-road keeper. was adjourned' fur the opinion of i. whetherlhe child had been I t s i-strf•Jet, Strand, , Mr. John Simon, of Wellingto a I IVF: or not; when posed that he had examined the de!. 6f a healthy male child ; that 'F ' a y' its death had been causedwhich was that I ;had be!en born' alive, and while living;.but Whethei'• stone of the bridge by - a fracture of the skull from the fall on the coping Wilful blow, he -(0 i ere it was found, or from a e- surgeon) way unable to deter- leavitig the case i n deter mine. ~.The:Jury: , r ‘ unia k n tu m rn o e th d e a r. verdiet accordingly, thusi - the hands of the police to true, f possible, the hill /~~ ~~ 'eye./ _ THE ADVANCE ON CAIJBUL. The following extracts, from a letter received by the hat mail from an officer with the army under Ge neral Pollock, will amply repay perusal : " Camp, Mamma h.hail, 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 ffott, with an • almost equally numerous army, is approaching the capital from Candahar. We left Jellalabad on the 20th, every one rejoicing 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 suppl of cattle convey Our luggag e . Th e o ffi cers put up in miserable little tents, and take with them scarcely more than a change of clothes. Many of the men have no tents at all, and those that have are allowed but half their usual num ber. But we all feel assured of havi ng done the right thing, and h ave 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 c on ti nue till a d epo t o f provi sions sh a ll 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 10e were hersemen, 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, 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 cutoff the enemy's retreat. • Notwithstanding our superior numbers, the Affghans waited till we approached virithin a thou Sand yards, when the guns opined 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 accompanied them. • • f " 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 f4ge in a village higher up the spur. W e followed te latter. The cavalry had reached the .village be fore us, and we found it deserted. Here we waited fliv nearly an hour,, till theremaiuder 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 doned on ,our approach, the enemy leaving in their hurry a number of tents and ammunition, which they had supposed to be in a secure place. We found them, however, posted on .the tops of the rocks, whence they poured down a pretty sharp fire. As soon, therefore, as the column came up, they were at tacked and driven to the higher part of -the range in gallant style, and here the pursuit ceased. All this was done with scarcely any loss on our side ; and for my own part, I joined. several others under some of the Most magnificent trees that ever were seen, and made a feast upon grapes such you can form no concep tipa, Of.. We had them of every, size and colour— . some above two inches,in length, others no bigger than. a white currant.. We were, in fact, among the finest vineyards in the country. But while we were thus meri toriously employed, the larger body of the enemy (which as I Mentioned, crqssed the ravine (mom- left) appeared. about a mile off, moving slowly towards the hills. Colonel. Taylor, of the 9th Regiment of Foot, with about 50 Europeans and about 150 Sepoys, whom he had hastily collected together, instantly pressed to wards them ; hoping to intercept them, but they . were too strong for him, and attacked him so briskly, that he was obliged to retreat, with three officers, and perhaps thirty men, killed and wounded! The main body of our force 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, whin 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—i-• ghans, eager to replenish their flasks, crowded round, cut open the bags, and while each was.scrarahling 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 task. of cutting down every tree . and burning every . house we can lay our hands.on, while our cattle find exeellent 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 this beautiful and riehly-eulti , 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 ofinul , berry, pomegranate, peach, apple, and pear trees, we hope not to leave one standing. Is not all this kliabo ? 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 reducing 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 around us in caves and rocks, watchingAke 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 out of our reach; but the 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. 11 e ha ve 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 moreso from having been: so long confined i n r th at fur nace of sand and dust, Jellalabad. we shall per haps move forward to Caubul abou t 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 'lad 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, w ith the exception of four or five men, wh o we re taken prisoners, the whole were slaughtered. This morning, much to our surprise, the Prince Futteli Jung, the second son of Shah Soojah, made hi s 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 moss .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 withoutstriking a blow."
