MY DEAR SIR,—In reply to your question respecting the effect of your solution upon the sails and awnings of the vessels of the Niger Expedition, the canvas of which was steeped in it before they were made, I have much pleasure in being able to state that they were most effectually preserved from mi:dew, and this after as severe a trial as canvas could well uneergo, being alternately exposed, during several months, to heavy rains and a burning sun, with the thermometer sometimes at 93 deg., and generally much above 80 deg. I am, my dear Sir, Sir Wm. Burnett, K.C.11. H. TROTTER, R.N. • Ramsgate, Dec. 20, HMI. beg to acquaint you that, agreeably to your requ , st, I have examined the sails on board the Gull steam light vessel, the which were prepared with Sir William Burnett's Patent So lution, and were put on board in September, 1840, s!nee which time, they have been kept on the deck, and exposed to the weather ; notwithstanding which, they are still in as goon a condition as when first put on board ; they are free from mil dew, and have no appearance of any decay whatever. Unpre pared sails under similar circumstances would have been in a decayed state, and rendered quite unserviceable. I am, Sir, your most obedient humble Servant, (Signed) R. DAVIS. Jacob Herbert, Esq., Secretary, Trinity Board. It is cheat) sad simple in its application. Timber, Deals, &c., &c., Canvas, Sail., and Ropes will be prepared at the Company's Station at Lirnehouse, at a small expense ; or the preparation may be purchased for use, under license or other wise, at a rate that will give persons, who are disposed to enter into it as a branch of trade, ample profits.

The \\Tafel-bailiff's Report to the Navigation Commit tee, concludes the information on which the Report of the Committee, to be discussed this day, is founded. In compliance with your direction, I accompanied Mr. Walker and Captain Bullock urn a surrey of the Inver Thames ; and the great benefits which must be secured to the public from its general improvement, under an uniform system, appears obvious. The plans now submitted to your approbation, show the existing and proposed lines of embankment between Putney and Gravesend, as well as numerous shoals which obstruct the navigation. The proposed lines of embankment have been laid down after due consideration ; and, although it is not probable that they will be carried into full effect for many years, their value in assisting the immediate and future opel ations of the Committee and insuring the confidence of the public, will, I trust, more than compensate the Ctrporation for the outlay which they have occasioned. For centuries past the river, within the limits named, has received little improvement, whilst it has been the si , urco of . wealth to the metropolis, and borne thereto the funds with which many of its most splendid improvements have been accomplished. Rejoicing, as I do, to witne-s tho,e improve ments, it does appear to me. to be surprising that no part of the coal duties should be regularly devoted to the equally important objec: of improting the liver. Paving once sanctioned a systematic course of proceeding, you will, I apprehend, without any extension of the powers heretofore exercised, time out of mind by the Corporation, be enabled to aff,rd thereby great facility and encouragement to the 'awl, d l roprietors, in adopting such lines of embank ment as m'y be approved by you. It is not to be anti cipated that all would immediately avail themselves of your uffers, but as the occupancy from time to time changes. so we fairly may exp, et that eventually all would be accom plished, without any compulsory measures being resorted to, which would mentally raise a host of owners and occupiers as elairnan:s for compensation. The frequent. applications for leave to embank, even at pr esen t ma d e to your Committee, suf ficiently prove that a judici ous system of encouragemnt to such al pticants, with a certain and definite anode of proceeding ill rapidly increase their numbers. . . The large embankments contemplated would, by reducing the width of the river and consequently diminishing its capacity fur the reception of the tidal waters, prove injurious to the na vi;:,ation unless accomianied by a e rresponding increase in the depth of its channel; stringent resolutions will therefore, be necessary to compel parties embanking to take the gravel and ballast required for their embankments from the bed of the river under proper regulations. It should also be distinctly understood that no permanent projection of any kind would h. reaf;er be permitted from the new lines, of em bankment ; and the proprietors should be hound to construct and maintain the frontage of sufficient height and proper ma terials. Individuals would be greatly encouraged to undertake the outl►y which must be caused in constructing extensive em bankments, by the charge being only made for frontage in stead of the superficial extent of the land reclaimed ; and one shilling per foot would not, I consider, form any impediment. to their applications for your licence to embank. Such mode rate terms, and the appropriation of the present and future navigation rental to the caming out the great work you have undertaken, would demonstrate that the improvement of the river is the sole aim which the Corporation have in view ; and the se portions of the embankment which may be devoted to public purposes might be sanctioned without any rent being levied thereon. . In a R.sport, dated the 17th of November, 1834, I had the honour to suggest to the Lord Mayor and Corporation the importance of their providing piers for the accommodation of the public using steam-vessels, under a conviction that this was the best plan for 7reventing improper and dangerous encroach. ments by individuals for that purpose, and that a large revenue might be derived therefrom, applicable to the general im provement of the river, by the removal of shoals and otherwise. The numerous piers since formed have fully borne out, and indeed, su: passed my an r.r.cipations, both as to the extent of traffic and the want of con t rol over them; but, I fear the same cause—their numbers—will now prevent the Corporation from adopting, with pecuniary adv antage, a competition with those individuals who have already established piers, although the public would undoubtedly be . benefited by such interference of the G.rporation. The general use of steam-vessels as a means of transit for pas sengers has rendered convenient landing-places for their use in di,pensab:e ; but, it may be hoped that, when the new lines of embankment are carried into effect, no piers above Blackwall will be required, as sufficient depth of water may be provided then, close alongside of the wharfs, for the accommodation of the steamers. The frightfulsiverloading of th ese boats, occa sionally, demands the interference of the Legislature. I proceed to notice some other points which arise incidentally from the subject, but: which are closely connected with the pre servation and improvement of the navigation. Regulations are required for the working of ballast-engines, both above and below bridge, so that they may be confined to these parts of the river where not only good ballast. may be obtained, but where also its removal will be most advantageous 'to the navigation. The Trinity House will no doubt assist in such useful regulations. ing T m he ud ac a t n i d e dirt Prbd intoc in the recent st ntence of two mo nths ' im p r isonment onions of the offenders, will, I trust, further o p erate a s a salutary vraraing. Any shoals which are caused in the river by the soil and ce theg s lately taken ag a i nst part i es f or throw , has check e d t h e pract i ce; an d rubbish brought down by the sewers ought in justice to be re moved by the Commissioners of Sewers. The removal of wrecks, having been proved by the Ccrpora tion, in the case of the brig William, practicable, under very difficult circumstances and at any depth of water in the river, it s to be hoped that the large sum of money expended upon that occasioa will preclude the necessity of any further similar expenditure on their part, by depriving the owners of the only p'ea which could justify the continuance of the nuisance, namely, the impracticability of its removal. Although their situations are denoted by pil es , the moorings in use at Blackwall, which extend across the river, are a great nuisance to such ships as are compelled to let go their anchors there; but even that safeguard is not adopted at Deptford, where similar moorings are lying, which renders them still more inconvenient. Of casual nuisanc, s, but of daily occurrence, one of great danger is the dropping of anchors within or near to low-water marlc. The use of vessels,which are permanently moored in the river, as stores and workshops, i s upon the increase ; and some means should be adopted to prevent their owners hereafter claiming as a right what is now only upon sufferance, and which, if per mitted to extend unchecked, must become a very serious cause of complaint, not merely from obstructing the navigation, but because there is no fair competition between parties paying rates and taxes, and those who pay none. The distance allowed to wharfs for the necessary accommo da'ion of their trade, as suggested by tho City Conservancy Jury, should be denoted by piles. 1 he lines proposes for the new embankment, it must be ob served, are only the best as appearing the most practicable ; but it, under more favourable circumstances, funds could be provided either from the landing-places, the rental, the coal dues, or other sources, they might be very advantageously ex pended in to moving some of the present encroachments upon the river. I allude particularly to the embankments near Globe-stairs and Old Swan-stairs where a grea.er width is.re quired to produce the proper scour, as well as for the general improvement of the navigation. • Your Committee is now in possession of plans of the river from Yantlet Creek to Putney, and it is most desirable to con tinue them up to Staines: I would suggest that an uniform scale should be adopted for the whole, and a complete set of plans laid down thereto • and, further, that a periodical renewal thereof should be provided for, so that all future alterations of the river and its banks may be distinctly shown and easily traced. PRESBYTERY OF EDINBURGH DEPOSITION OF A MINISTER. At the Meeting of Presbytery last Wednesday, the clerk, Dr. Gilchrist, read a letter from Mr. Hay, of the Dean Chosh, addressed to the Moderator, making the acknowledgment that he had been guilty of the sin of fornication. He was aware of the consequences of this admission ; but he felt still more deeply than these the scandal he had been the means of bring ing upon the nan eof religion. lie trusted that God had given him grace to repent of his sin, and he th rew h imse lf u p on th e Presbytery. This gave rise to a very affecting scene. 1110 letter was read by the clerk in a solemn and almost inau dible voice, and was followed by .a dead silence in the Pres bytery for some minutes. Mr. Balfonr then rose, and though every sound but that of his own voice was hushed, we could only hear indistinct sentences, intimating that from all he had seen, and from what he had heard, be be lieved Mr. flay to be deeply penitent—nevertheless, the Pres bytery had no alternative but to proceed, in accordance with the rules i f the Church, to depose him from the office of the holy ministry. A silence of a still longer interval ensued, broken only by the occasional whisper of one member to an other. Atter the lapse of several minutes, the Moderator (Mr. Bennie) addressed the Presbytery—•• Fathers and brethren, is is your pleasure to proceed with this bitterly painful case, or to delay it ?" No one spoke ; and, after a pante, he-added, 4' If we must proceed, it is usual in such cases to begin with deco tional exercises; end I have to request our Rev. Father, Dr. Brunton, to engage in prayer." Dr. Brunton offered up a fer vent and impressive pra3er, after which the Moderator pro nounced the solemn sentence of t:eposition. SPORTING. In a former epistle I expressed my fears that John Scott would shortly train every horse entered in the Derby : for this I "find I have been anathematised by all book-makers, such a result being the height of their ambition. The betting on Monday was spirited, but axclu sively confined to the kill devil and ruin-man stable. While anything over 8 to 1 was eagerly taken about Attila, 25 to 1 less was taken about each of three others, the Lord of Holderness, the Joanna colt, and Meteor. The same odds have been taken about the Dirce colt and Artful Dodger, and before they left the stable William de Fortibus and Auckland. The public have also backed William de Gros, the Amadon colt, Master Thomas, Woldsman, Baronet, Johnny Fan, and the Puncher, and I have now mentioned every horse in the lot, except the last arrival, Lord Mil town's two, individually at different periods. Horses leave the stable and go out of the.betting: a horse is claimed for 3501., goes into the stable, and is at this moment in such high favour that he will possibly be some day first favourite !! ! Gemini crankunt twee dle ! ! ! but there must be 'something wonderfully bracing in the Pigburn air. The leviathan, never theless, has only carried off one Derby in his life, and that with about the worst horse that ever won the great race. The great Wizard of the North is a fool to John Scott—the egg trick morning exercise, the gun trick a mere canter. I have heard, and Ido often hear, this wonderful conjurer (I mean J o h n Scott, and not the other Mephistophiles) terribly abused. Poor man ! his greatest crime being that he is the best trainer in the world, and that he does not . publish in the newspapers—mark, before he knows himself, which is the best horse out of some dozen good-looking and well-bred ones. Scott's horses engaged next and the following week, have arrived at Newmarket; at least all that mean to show, I believe. Attila, Meteor, the Dirce colt, and the Ladye of Silverkeld Well are there. There have been several meetings this last week. The Trial Stakes at Northampton did not fill, and gentleman riders were appointed to the only other race for thoroughbred horses. This, however, is more a hunt than a race meeting, and is an e xcuse for gen tleman in the neighbourhood to fill their houses, that the ball in the evening may be well attended, which I read in the Morning Post was the case. There was a good deal of racing, such as it was, at Epsom On Wednesday. Thanks to a severe shower of hail and rain, there were two races for the Heatheote Plate—in the first the winner and second being left behind. The second race being spun out into four heats, and a miscalled match follovvin, the sports were not over till dusk. Mr. Thompson s mare is in the Oaks, and Vibration (one of Forth's lot) is in the Derby and Oaks ; the latter has not been backed in my hearing, except with the rest of her stable com panions. The Catterick Bridge and Croxton Park Meetings have also come off this week. Why so many races should be fixed for the same week, I cannot guess. The latter is celebrated as one of the few meetings in the kingdom where all the jockeys are gentlemen — quite enough to insure my absence, I have no idea of scrubbing the floor, while the housemaid can do it so much better ; but why should I complain. The Duke's tenants are amused ; and these gentry and their families form a considerable portion of the good folks accustomed to visit Croxton Park Races. l3allinkeely is arrived at last ; lie is a good-looking bay horse, and will be trained by J. Scott at Ascot, who is fully competent to do him justice. Curious enough, the horse is a much worse favourite since his arrival. There seems to be no longer any doubt that the Hippodrome ceases to be a racecourse. It is to be regretted that the races cannot be transferred to New market, or anywhere indeed, but the subscribers whose nominations are dead would decidedly object to any such arrangement. The liability of the pro prietors of the racecourse for the sums advertised to be added to the different stakes is questioned by many parties. JUDEX. April 4. THE QUEEN'S lIOUNDS. Saturday's run with the Royal hounds, although a small field in comparison to several former, was the finest of the season. It was exceedingly select with respect to the quality of the sportsmen, and included several officers of the Royal Horse Guards :—Captain Seymour, Captain Vyse, W. Baker, Makepiece, Benbow Payne, 'Esqrs., &c., &c. The noble stag Mouse was= unca;ted at Bricic bridge, and led the way in gallant style over the country towards llawthorn-hill, then bearing to the right, went straight away to Buck Farm, Binield, Lawrance Waltham, Shottersbrook Park, making for the great wood; then bearing to the left he made for White Waltham Tuchenend, along the side of Bray Drainage, taking the country all the way ; here the pace was " reeling," and those who were fortunate enough to be on the right side of Bray Drainage, had it all to themselves, which number, from the severity of the running, was reduced to a few only of the right sort, and these were Captain Nyse, Mr. Baker, Mr. Benbow, another gentleman, and Harry King, the whip. The running now began to slacken, and the deer, in view for the first time during the hunt, bore to the right over llolyport Green, and was captured at Tunchenend after two hours and a quarter of the best hunting run this season, every hound doing his share of work like a pack of harriers. It was a rare day—the Leicester shire of the Queen's hunt. THE TORY LANDLORDS AND THEIR TENANTS. From the Vale of Alford; from the Howe of the Mearns, and, in a word, from almost every Tory district of this and the adjoining counties, no report now reaches us but one general voice of lamentation and great mourning over the fall in the vices of catt:e consequent upon the promulgation of the new tariff, the landlords striving to comfort their poor tenants with assurance that " all would yet be well," but the farmers refusing to be comforted, be cause that their high rents remain, while their high prices are gone for ever. Accustomed as the Conservative squirearchy have all along been to represent the Whigs as friendly to the importation of foreign produce, and to identify such a policy with the ruin of the farming interest, they now feel sadly at a loss what to say to their tenants, who come to them with long faces, and ask what is now to be done, when the calamity which they had been so often taught to dread from their enemies': the Whigs, has came upon them with redoubled force from their friends, the Tories? At tae outset it would appear that the lords of the soil fancied themselves of such importance in the eyes of the nation, that they bad but to signify their disasproval of the intended measure to have it abandoned; and accord ingly, they assured their tenants at first that they would take care to have the whole thing put right. But the haughty bearing of Sir Robert Peel in Par liament towards the agricultural bigots of his own party having taught all this sort of people a lesson as to their own insignifi cance, it would seem that the Conservative gentry had wisely resolved to keep themselves quiet upon the occasion, but to stir up the farmers to sign petitions to Parliament setting forth what an evil it would be to them if the present high price of beef was not kept up! Foreseeing, however, no doubt that theirpctitioning would all end in smoke, and that their tenantrw ould soot, ret urn to them w ith the demand "how they were to pay high rents with low prices of oats and cattle, they are now adopting another policy with regard to the farmers, and are gravely assuring them that the measure will, after all, be " goodless, ill-less," for that the ,ports had been opened to the importation of foreign cattle only because it was well ascertained that there were none to come in ! —Abereeen Herald. WAR IN AFFGRANSTAN.—MT. Wvld, of Charing cross, has just published a map which will be found of great use at the present eventful crisis. In addition to our possessions in India, it contains Affghanstan, Caubul, and the countries to the west of the Indus, and is ac companied by notes, explanatory of the nature of these countries, and the route to Caubul, with the distances. This map, executed in Mr. Wyld's usual style of excel lence, appears at the most appropriate moment, ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND MAR. INDIA AND CHINA DREADFUL INTELLIGENCE FROM CABOOL.-ENTIRE DE STRUCTION OF THE BRITISH CABOOL FORCES.-ONE EURO PEAN ESCAPED. Advices from Bombay to the Ist instmention that the British troops, under a convention with Ukhbar Khan, Chief of the rebels, quitted their encampment on the 6th of Jan., and immediately after were engaged by the rebels, their rear being first attacked. In the course of three or four days, in which communications were carried on with the Chief, and the ladies given up, as well as several officers as hostages, the troops were fiercely engaged, the Chief pretending that he could not restrain them. Finally the sepoys succumbed, then her Majesty's 44th. All ranks rushed towards Jellalabad, but only one European reached that city. Tie news from Jellalabad is more cheering. General Sale's position had not been attacked. They have pro visions enough till April. Reinforcements are expected to arrive in February. Report says that the new Governor of India has ar rived. C LI INA• Nothing has occurred of importance. Dates to the 17th of January from Macao. The Admiral is waiting for reinforcements. The Cornwallis has sailed for the Admiral. The Chinese are building new works at Canton : very strong. All say this city must be soon at tacked a second time. But it will not be so easy this time. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The Oriental steamer arrived at Marseilles on Thurs day evening at five o'clock. She bears the following disastrous intelligence : The news from Bombay is to the Ist of February, ac cording to which it appears that after the death of Sir William ITlCaghten negotiations were resumed by Major Pottinger, and a convention agreed on for the evacuation by the British forces of Jellalabad, Ghuzni, Cabool, and Can dahar ; that in pursuance thereof, the troops, to the number of 10,000, set out, and were, in treacherous defiance of the treaty, all massacred. Two or three natives alone escaped. General Sale has refused to surrender Jella labad, and is prepared for a vigorous defence. General Elphinstone is not dead, although wounded. He is a prisoner in the hands of Ukbar Khap. There is no news of the unfortunate ladies and other hostages now at the mercy of such treacherous savages. The Indian army is to be increased by the addition of a company to each regiment. The accounts from China are to the 2d of January, but add little to what is already known. The Chinese, notwithstanding the treaty entered into with Sir H. Pot tinger, were rebuilding the fortifications of Canton and Ningpo, and there was question of a second attack upon the latter place. Another ship of war of 60 guns had arrived. (From our Third Edition of Last Night.) We have received from Marseilles letters and papers by the Bombay mail of March 1, as well as our cor respondence from Constantinople, Alexandria, Smyrna, Athens, Beyruth, Syria, Corfu, Malta, Toulon, - and Marseilles. CABOOL. ('rom the Bombay Times., March 1.) The Cabool tragedy is over ; the struggle has been a fearful one, but it is passed. The cup of affliction has been filled to the brim, and the waters of bitterness contained in it, have been drained to the drugs. The soldiers, who for two months so gallantly endured the attacks of overwhelm ing numbers, amidst cold, hunger, and fatigue, have now no more sufferings or humiliations to endure. Of the army, which on the Ist of November, mustered from twelve to sixteen thousand, camp followers included, some two or three hundred only survive in captivity. Nut ten men in all have as yet escaped from the hands of the enemy. Since the 28th December, the date to which our last intelligence from these parts extended at the dispatch of the February mail, 120 British officers and from 4,000 to 5,000 fighting men are known to have perished; one Eu ropean and three Sepoy regiments have been utterly swept away. A calamity such as this is unknown in the an nals of Indian war. We intimated in our last our fears that Cabool had been evacuated, and its garrison cut to pieces. Our paper of Ist February had scarcely left the press when we found our worst apprehensions confirmed. An outline of the intelligence of which we now possess, the disastrous details would reach London by the ex presses of the London papers, as well as the official de spatches of the Government. They reached Bombay too late for us to avail ourselves of them for our summary." The following letter from Bombay will be found to supply full details of the melancholy reverses our arms had sustained beyond the Indus. The letter is dated March 1, and brings down the narrative of events to the departure of the mail : The insurrection, which is described as participating in a great measure of the religious enthusiasm to which the fanatical Moslems can be excited by the preaching of their Lnauns, broke out on the night of the Ist of Novem ber, when Sir Alexander Burnes, and his brother, and Captain Broadfoot of the 44th were killed, tke house of the first named, being withing the city, was plundered ; and some money in the treasury of Captain Johnson, which was close to the former house, was made a prey of. The Captain having slept in the British cantonments, escaped the slaughter, as well as Brigadier Anguetil and. Captain Troup, who were his inmates. Captains Skin ner and Drummond, Captain Trevor and his lady and his children remained for some days concealed in the city by come of their friends. Shah Soojah, who had on the 2d sent his son to the relief of Sir Alexander Burnes, where the Prince performed prodigies of valour, received on that day a communication from Sir W. 11. 11PNaghten, then in the cantonment, about five miles from the town, requesting leave for Brigadier-General Skelton, with two regiments, and Captain Nicholl's troop, to enter the Balla Hissar, and to shell the town. Leave was given, and the shelling took place. The in• furiated populace attacked the Commissariat Fort, which lay immediately to the north of the town, between it and the cantonment, and as it was weakly defended soon becamemasters of it This was a dreadtul blow to the troops, as at the time there was flour but for two days remaining in the cantonment, Another fort, in which some Commissariat stores were kept was also attacked, and after a defence of three days by Captain Mackenzie, and a few men taken also, a panic appeared to have seized the troops, who found them selves in the beginning of winter shut up in their cantonments in a valley 200 miles from the Indus, without sufficient clothing or food, and admidst a fanatical Mussulman population. Even between the British leaders a difference of opinion prevailed : the Envoy being desirous of offensive measures, while General Elphinstone, from circumstances connected with the forces, among whom despondency and vacillation are described as then prevailing, maintained his opinion for defensive ones. At the solicitation of the Envoy, some small forts in the neighbourhood, which contained grain, were captured. In the mean time the news of the dispersion of several of the Affghan corps in Shah So( t jah's service, commanded by British officers, reached the besieged, and contributed to add to their gloomy prognostics. Various reverses and successes followed during some days. The troops from the Balla Hissar were recalled to the -cantonment, and the Envoy urged a decided attack on the enemy ; the General, however, maintained that all such attacks would be futile ; the soldiers began to despond, and all was misery. There were, nevertheless, skirmishes every day, which did not tend to raise the spirits of the sepoys and soldiers, who saw their enemies hourly increase, while they. themselves had scarcely food and but insufficient raiment for the season. So greatly were they dispirited that they were one day driven back to their camp, after they had during three hours been exposed to a galling fire. The Ghilzee Chief Osman Khan did uot- caose to pursue them within their entrenchments, where they, it was then feared, would have made a feeble resistance. Their provision was flour, which they ob tained by bribery during the night. It was then recom mended that all the troops should be concentrated in the Balla Hissar. Captain Conolly, who was then with the Shah, advocated the propriety of so doing, but the mili tary authorities declareol the movement impossible, as they could not rely upon the disheartened troops. The last regiment was then withdrawn from the Balla I lissar, which is, as every one knows, a citadel on a hill to the eastward of the town, and Shah Soojah was left to his own resource. _ _ The insurgents, who were aware of the movement of succour from Candahar, now appeared di spose d to enter upon negotiations for the withdrawal of the British troops. The Envoy, on hearing of the retreat of the Candahar brigade, and learning that no aid could be expected from General Sale, then at Jellalabad, or from the Indus, gave a reluctant assent. Co n f erences t oo k place, and a long list of article s , d rawn u p i n Persian by Sir W. H. MTaghten, was agreed to on both sides. They are 'said to exceed 20 in number. I The second and favourite son of Dost Mahommed, Mahommed Akhbar Khan, who, subsequent to his father's surrender had remained in concealment, and had even escaped beyond the confines of Affghanistan, having made his appearance during the insurrection, took a de cided part in the negotiation. The insurgent chiefs exhibited great willingness to have the British troops removed from Cabool, and arrangements are said to have been made for that purpose at different meetings which were held outside the cantonments. After various parlies, a message was, on the 22d of December, brought from Akhbar Khan to Sir W. H. M`Naghten to request an interview on the following morning. The British Envoy went thither, accompanied by Captains Lawrence, Trevor, and Mackenzie. They had not been present five minutes, when a signal was given and all were seized and forced to mount behind some Ghilzee chiefs. The British Envoy resisted, and was slain, as also Captain Trevor, who had slipped off the horse on which he had been placed. Their murderers are now said to be " Ghazees," or religious enthusiasts, whO fight as soldiers for "the sake of God," and who, if killed in battle, are called " Shuhdees," or martyrs. The treatment of Sir W. H. ill'Nagten's body has been described as most barbarous. His lady is stated to have offered a large sum for its ransom, in or der to its being decently interred. The other two offi cers were saved by the dr'ad of the Ghazees to tire at them, lest the Ghilzees,_who rode before then should be wounded, they returned to the cantonment on the 28th. Akbbar Khan has, it appears, boasted of his having in person -killed Sir W. 11. M`Naghten. Major Pottinger, well known since the defence of He rat, took charge of the British mission and the negotia tions fur the withdrawal of the troops were continued. on the 6th of January they moved from their conton ments, which were instantly seized by the insurgents and burnt. The snow was one foot deep on the ground, when the troops reached Beegroma, three miles distant. The schemes of Akhbar Khan then became evident ; he had despatched emissaries throughout the country through which the unfortunate British soldiers had to pass, calling on the people to rise en. masse and slay the in fidels. His call was not heard in vain. On the first day's march Cornet Hardyman, of the sth Cavalry, and some men were killed. Mahommed Akhbar Khan, who had taken charge of the retreat, contrived to induce the British to take up stations at night where he chose. On the ith they moved to Bareckhar, where the three mountain guns were seized. Their rear-guard were obliged to act in the defensive during the whole of the day. On the Bth the camp was nearly surrounded by enemies, and it became evident that the British soldiers would have to fiOit their way to Jellalabad. Cap sin Skinner went to Mahommed Akhbar Khan, who was on a hill close to the British camp, and inquired why they could not proceed to the convention. The reply was, that they had left the Cabool cantonments before the tros destined to protect them were ready, and that no chief but he (Akhbar Khan) had the means or power toprotect them, notwithstanding their convention. This milita6- convention is not fully known, and therefore all its provisions cannot. be stated. It is pre tended that among the articles there are some declaring that all the British troops were to evacuate Affghanis:an, and that notice of such a convention had been sent to General Nutt at Candahar,.and to General Sale at Jella labad. It is said to have been signed by General El phinstone, as Commander-in-Chief; and by Major l;ot finger as acting Political Agent, and also by Brigadier Skelton, Brigadier Anguetil, and Colonel Chambers. Akhbar Khan, whose violent hatred to the British had been sharpened, not only by the conquest of his father's territories, but by his own exile and subsequent imprisonment in Bukhara, and by his wild fanaticism, demanded then, on the third day of the retreat from Cabool, that the British should, when surrounded by the Ghazees tinder his command, make new terms with him, and promise not to proceed farther than Tazeen, 'lentil the withdrawal of the force under *Sir H. Sale from Jellalabad was known, and he insisted on six hostages. Major Pottinger, who was lame from a wound, instantly offered to be one, and at Akhbar Khan's orders Captain M'Kenzie and Law rence were included. The Ghazees were, however, not restrained in their attacks, and a felt' ful slaughter fol lowed on the movement towards Khoord Cabool. The column was attacked on all side. The fourteen ladies who were in the centre seemed objects of special desire. Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Boyd had each a child carried off: Akhbar Khan, while the Ghazees were thus busy, profes,ed his inability to re strain them, and on the 9th of January demanded that the ladies should be placed under his protection. The miserable weather, the snowy wastes, the rough moun tain tracts, and the month of January in the coldest regions of Central Asia, compelled them to yield : the hostages halted for some days in that neighbourhood. The demand on General Sale to relinquish his post was made on the 9th of January, and on that day lie refused to do so unless by orders from the Supreme Government. This answer was taken back to Akhbar Khan. The unfortunate Sepoys began again to move, and were again assailed ; the Sepoys who form such good soldiers under the broiling sun of India, being enervated and stupified by the cold, scarcely offered any resistance, and hundreds of them were soon despatched ;by the Ghazee cut-throats, but the Europeans and some brave men kept together until they reached the pass of Jugdulluk. Here General Elphinstone and Brigadier Skelton became hostages, and were detained two miles distant by Akhbar. General Elphinstone wrote a note in pencil to Brigadier Anguetil —" March to night ; there is treachery.' The British troops marched early in the flight ; they came to the frightful mountain pass; it was barricaded; they forced the way, and reached Jugdulluk, which they defended some time, until Brigadier Anquetil was killed. Ail order was then lost, and con'usion and separation, slaughter and destruction ensued. Several officers who were well mounted attempted to make good their way into Jellalabad. Some of them arrived within three or four 'Liles, when they were murdered and plundered, and their bodies left on the road. Only one officer, Dr. Brvdon, of fhe sth Bengal Native Infantry, though wounded in soveral places and exhausted, succeeded iu reaching the place of safety in Jellalabad on the 13th. Of the fate of the other 4,000 soldiers and 6,000 camp followers nothing certain is Ipown; man y have been killed, oth ers are dispersed, and as yet it is difficult to decide. The names of thirty-five officers have been published as killed from the commencement of the insurrection, but fears are entertained that they may amount to its qua druple, out of the great number missing. Some of the sepoys are said to have been sold as slaves to the Oosbeg Tartars. Letters continue to arrive from various quarters re presenting the Mate of the prisoners and hostages. Akhbar Khan is said in a letter received from Major Pottinger, dated January 23, to be at the fort of Ba deeabad, in the Lughman country, where he keep the following prisoners, viz.:—General Elphinstone and Skelton, Lieutenant MacKenzie, Captain and Mrs. An derson and child, Captain Boyd, Lieutenant Eyre, Lieut. Waller, Mrs. Trevor, Lady Sale, Lady M'Naghteo, Mrs. Sturt, Mr. and Mrs. ltyley, Sergeant and Mrs. Wade, Captains Troop, .Johnson, and G. P. Lawrence, and Major Pottinger. There are, besides, the six officers and the sick who were left at a.bul on the departure of the troops. Akhbar Khan, in the letters from that fort, which are received unsealed, is described as doing every thing" to make them comfortable !" An attempt of the insurgents to seize Ghuznee is said to be so far successful as that the town is in their power, but Colonel Palmer, with his regiment and six months' provisions is stated to be safe in the citadel. At Can dahar an insurgent force showed itself on the 10th of January, when an attempt was made to carry off the camels belonging to the 43d Bengal Native Infantry. On the I 1 th, Prince Suftur Jung, the youngest and favourite son of Shah Shooja, and Mahommed Atta, the Chief, came with a large force within about five milt s distance. General Nott marched against them on the 12th, and in a short time dispersed the whole with a trifling loss ; the young Prince proved himself a coward, as he is a traitor to his father's friends. _ ✓- - General Sala has, however, maintained his position at Jellalabad, which he has fortified with a ditch, and planted cannon in different places, with a determination to defend his position to the utmost. Althbar Khan has attempted to raise the Ooolooses, or heads of the neigh bouring clans, in order to attack Jellalabad, but the gal lantry and resolution displayed by Sir Robert sale in October, during his march from Cabool to Jellalabad, h a d given them such proofs of his bravery that they have hitherto rather hesitated. The troops in Jellalabad are stated to be well provided with food and able to keep their ground until the beginning of March, particularly since they have already discomfited two contemplated attacks. The celebrated mountain pass, called the Khyber, lies between Jellalabad and Peshawar, and the inhabitants, who are in possession, have been long notorious for their plundering 'propensities. Akhbar Khan sent to offer money to induce them to resist not only the depar ture of the troops under General Sale, but also the entry of all the troops which may be ordered by the Supremo Government to relieve the garrison at Jellalabad. The Khyberries are stated to be highly in censed at the small sum offered for their concur rence in his plans by Akhbar Khan. It was not more than 1,500 rupees. They, however, have made pre parations to resist on their own account, and a brigade, Under the command of •Colonel Wild, which was sent from Sutledge early in December, having reached Peshawar, made an • attempt to f o r ce th e pass. Having left their artillery behind in India, and the only guns procurable . in that direction be ing unservicable• ones from the Sielths, the attempt made by Colonel Wild was unsuccessful. Two regi ments penetrated to• the fort of Ali Musjid, where a British garrison was stationed ; but, as they found neither provisions nor ammunition there, they were obliged to retreat towards Peshawar, having lost an officer and some men. In the meantime the Supreme Government has not been idle. General Pollock has been dispatched at the head of a considerable reinforce ment towards Peshawar, which he, with sufficient guns and abundant ammunition, reached on the 7111 ult., and is now making preparations for proceeding through the Khytar pass. The Supreme Government, on the 31st of January, published a proclamation admitting the fact of the con vention at Cabul. the retreat of the troops, and their having suffered extreme disaster in consequence of treacherous 'Attacks, end declaring that the most active measures had been adopted, and would be most steadily pursued, for expediting powerful reinforcements to th• Affghan frontier for assisting such operations as may be considered necessary for the maintenance of the honour and interest of the British Government in that quarter. Orders were also published on the sth of February, for the purpose of having a 10th company a dded to every regiment in'lndia, which, with other me asures ado p ted, will cause an increase of about 26,000 men: succeeded in securing , the goodwill of all la il t a e s st illigence nte from Cabool that Schah been appointed Vizier , 9, 9 d Ameer Ooll a Lag tSh°e'f)jialcehhiefs.
