Then the Frenchmen, shorting at the success •,i . their stratagem, and leaping forward, plied their shot with terrible rapidity, for CN Cry man had several i , iuskets, and each musket, in addition to its ordinary :-harge, contained a small cylinder of wood,, stuck full 1 of leaden slugs, which scattered like hail when they ( were discharged. 1 " Again the assailants rushed up the breaches, and again the sword-blades, immoveable and impassable, stopped their charge, and the hissing shells and thun dering powder-barrels exploded unceasingly. Hun- I dreds of men had fallen, and hundreds more were dropping, but still the heroic officers called aloud for i new trials, and sometimes followed by many, some times by a few, ascended the ruins; and so furious were the men themselves, that in one of these charges . the rear strove to push the foremost on to the sword blades, willing even to make a bridge of their writhing bodies, but the others frustrated the attempt by drop ping down ; and men fell so fast from the shot, that it was hard to know who went down voluntarily, who . were stricken, and many stooped unhurt that never rose again. Vain also would it have been to break through the sword-blades, for the trench and parapet behind the breach were finished, and the assailants, . crowded into even a narrower space than the ditch Was, would still have been separated from their, ene- mies, and the slaughter would have continued. " At the beginning of this dreadful conflict, Colonel t Andrew Barnard had with prodigious efforts separated .: his division from the other, and preserved some degree of military array ; but now the tumult was such, that no command could be heard distinctly, except by those , close -at hand, and the mutilated- carcases heaped on ' each other, and the wounded, struggling to avoid being trampled upon, broke the formations ; order was impossible ! Yet officers of all stations, folloWed more or less numerously by the men, were seen to start out, as if struck by a sudden madness, and rush into the breach, which yawning and glittering with steel, seemed like the mouth of some huge dragon belching forth smoke and flame. In one of these attempts, Colonel Macleod of the forty-third, a young man, whose feeble body would have been quite unfit for war, if it had not been sustained by an unconquer- . able spirit, was killed. Wherever his voice was heard, there his soldiers gathered, and with such a. strong . resolution did he lead them up the fatal ruins, that when one behind him, in falling, plunged a bayonet into his back, he complained not, and continuing his course was shot dead within a yard of the sword blades. But there was no want of gallant leaders, or , desperate followers. " Two hours spent in these vain efforts convinced the soldiers that the breach of the Trinidad was im pregnable; and as the opening in the curtain, although less strong, was retired, and the approach to it im peded by deep holes, and cuts made in the ditch, the troops did not much notice it after the partial failure of one attack which had been made early. Gathering in dark groups and leaning on their muskets, they looked up with sullen desperation at the Trinidad, while the enemy stepping out on the ramparts, and they did not come into Badajos R' they aiaiming n t g h r t e h w e ir oN s -e h r o , ts as b k y e t d h , e as lig their h t of victims the fl r fire-balls 1 , l s ' whichfty " In this dreadful situation, while the dead wore lying in heaps and others continually falling, the wounded crawling about to get some shelter from the merciless fire above, and withal a sickening stench from the burnt flesh of the slain, Captain Nicholas, of the engineers, was observed by Mr. Shaw, of the forty-third, making incredible efforts to force his wiiy with a few men into the Santa Maria bastion. Shay having collected about fifty soldiers of all regiments joined him, and although there was a deep cut along the foot of this breach also, it was instantly passed, and these two young officers at the head of their gal lant band, rushed up the slope of the ruins; but whc r; they had gained two-thirds of the ascent, a coney , trated fire of musketry and grape, dashed nearly the whole dead to the earth ! Nicholas was mortally wounded, and the intrepid Shaw stood alone ! After this no further effort was made at any point, and the troops remained passive, but unflinching, beneath the enemy's shot, which streamed without intermission ; for, of the riflemen on the glacis, many leaping early into the ditch had joined in the assault, and the rest, raked by a cross fire of grape from the distant bastions, baffled in their aim by the smoke and flames from the explosions, and too few in number, had entirely failed to quell the French musketry. " About midnight, when two thousand brave men had fallen, Wellington, who was on a height close to the quarries, sent orders for the remainder to reti: e and re-form for a second assault; for he had just then heard that the castle was taken, and thinking the enemy would still hold out in the town, was resolved to assail the breaches again. This retreat from the ditch was, however, not effected without further car nage and confusion, for the French fire never slack ened, and a cry arose that the enemy were making a sally from the distant flanks, which caused a rush to : wards the ladders ; then the groans and lamentations of the wounded who could not move, and expected to be slain, increased, many officers who had not heard of' the order, endeavoured to stop the soldiers from going back, and some-would even have removed the ladders but were unable to break the crowd. " All this time the third division was lying close in the castle, and either from a fear of risking the loss of a point which insured the capture of the place, or that the egress was too difficult, made no attempt to drive away the enemy from the breaches. On the other side, how:, ever, the fifth division had commenced the false attack on the Pardaleras, and on the right of the Guadiana the Portuguese were sharply engaged at the bridge ; thus the town was girdled with fire, for general Wal, ker's brigade having passed on during the feint on the Pardaleras, was escalading the distant bastion of San Vincente. His troops had advanced along the banks of the river, and reached the French guard-house, at the barrier-gate, undiscovered, for the ripple of the waters smothered the sound of their footsteps ; but just then the explosion at the breaches took place, the moon shone out, and the French centinels, discover, ing the columns, fired. The Briti4h troops immedi, ately springing forward under a sharp musketry began to hew down the wooden barrier at the covered way, while the Portuguese, being panic-stricken, threw down the scaling ladders. Nevertheless the others snatched them up again, and forcing the barrier, jumped into the ditch; but the guiding engineer was killed, and there was a cunette, which embarrassed the the column, and when the foremost men succeeded in rearing the ladders, the latter were found too short y for the walls were generally above thirty feet I-. L ' ig h . Meanwhile the fire of the French was deadly, 4 sma ll mine was sprung beneath the soldiers' fe et , wood and live shells were rolled over on their heads, showers of grape from the flank swept the ditch, and man after man dropped dead from the ladders. " Fortunately some of the defenders having been called away to aid in recovering the castle, the ram, parts were not entirely manned, and the assailants, having discovered a corner of the bastion whore the scarp was only twenty feet high, placed three ladders there under an embrasure which had no gun, and was only stopped with a gabion. Some men got up, but with difficulty, for the ladders were still too short, arA the first 1 1144 who gained the top was pushed up by the staggered high aihe houses, grgseirwalls,aed his comrades and then drew others after hit' until many had gained the summit; and though the French shot heavily against them, from both flanks and from a house in front, they thickened and could not bo town itself to dislodge the driven back ; half the fourth regiment entered the while the others pushed along the rampart towards the breach, and by dint of hard fighting successive twh l o y exor w dte o hr i e : three bastions.

" Then the panic ceased, be soldiers ral:ied, and is compact order once more charged along the weals to,. -f/Y~- ( PRicE 71).) We make no apology for giving at full length Colonel NAPIER'S description of the taking of Badajos. It is, perhaps, the most vivid, correct, and heart-stirring picture of a siege that ever was drawn :--- The night was dry but clouded, the air thick with watery exhalations from the rivers, the ramparts, and the trenches unusually still ; yet a low murmur per vaded the latter, and in the former, lights were seen to flit here and there, while the deep voices of the sentinels at times proclaimed, that all was well in Badajos. The French, confiding in Phillipon's direful skill, - watched, from their lofty station, the approach of enemies, whom they had twice before baffled, and now hoped to drive a third time blasted.. and ruined from the walls ; the British, star dine in deep columns, were as eager to meet that fiery destruction as the others were to pour it down ; and both were alike ter rible for their strength, their discipline, and the pas sions awakened in their resolute hearts. " Former failures there were to avenge, and on either side such leaders as left no excuse for weakness in the hour of trial ; and the possession of Badajos was be come a point of honour personal with the soldiers of each nation. But the strong desire for glory was, in the British, dashed with a hatred of the citizens on an old grudge, and recent toil and hardship, 'with much spilling of blood, had made many incredibly savage : for these things render thenoble-minded indeed averse to cruelty, but harden the vulgar spirit. Numbers also, like Caesar's centurion, who could not forget the plander of Avaricum, were heated with the recollec tion of Ciudad Rodrigo, and thirsted for spoil. Thus every spirit found a cause of excitement, the wondrous power of discipline bound the whole together as with a band of iron, and, in the pride of arms, none chubted their might to bear down every obstacle that man could oppose to their fury. At ten o'clock, the castle, the San Roque, the breaches, the Pardaleras, the distant bastion of San Vincente, and the bridge-head on the other side of the Guadiana, were to have been simultaneously as sailed, and it was hoped that the strength of the enemy would shrivel within that fiery girdle. But many are the disappointments of war. An unforeseen accident delayed the attack of the fifth division ; and a lighted carcass, thrown from the castle, falling close to where the men of the third division were drawn up, disco vered their array, and obliged them to anticipate the signal by half an hour. Then, everything being sud denly disturbed, the double columns of the fourth and light divisions also moved silently and swiftly against the breaches, and the guard of the trenches, rushing forward with a shout, encompassed the San Roque with fire and broke in so violently that scarcely any resistance was made. " But a sudden blaze of light and the rattling of musketry indicated the commencement of a most ve hement combat at : the castle. There general Kempt, for Picton, hurt by a fall in the camp, and expecting no change in the hour, was not present, there General Kempt, I say, led the third division; he had passed the Rivillas, in single files by a narrow bridge, under a terrible musketry, and then reforming, and running up the rugged hill, had reached the foot of the castle when he fell severely wounded, and being carried hack to the trenches met Piston, who hastened forward to take the command. Meanwhile his troops spreading along the front reared their heavy ladders, some against the lofty castle, some against the adjoining front on the left, and with incredible courage ascended amidst showers of heavy stones, logs of wood, and bursting shells rolled off the parapet, while from the flanks the enemy plied his musketry with a fearful rapidity, and in front, with pikes and bayonets, stabbed the leading assailants or pushed the ladders from the walls; and all this attended with deafening shouts, and the crash of breaking ladders, and the shrieks of crushed sol ' diers, answering to the sullen stroke of the falling weights. "Still, swarming round the remaining ladders, these undaunted veterans strove who should first climb, until all being overturned, the French shouted victory, and the British, baffled, but untamed, fell back a few paces, and took shelter under the rugged edge of the hill. Here, when the broken ranks were somewhat reformed, the heroic Colonel Ridge, springing for ward, called, with a stentorian voice, on his men to follow, and, seizing a ladder, once more raised it against the castle, yet to the right of the former at tack, where the wall was lower, and an embrazure offered some facility. A second ladder was soon placed alongside of the first, by the grenadier officer Canch, and the next instant he and Ridge were on the ram part, the shouting troops pressed after them, the gar rison, amazed, and in a manner surprised, were driven fighting through the double gate into the town, and the castle was won. A reinforcement, sent from the French reserve, then came up, a sharp action followed, both sides fired through the gate, and the enemy re tired, but Ridge fell, and no man died that night with more glory—yet many died, and there was much glory. " During these events, the tumult at the breaches was such as if the very earth had been rent asunder and its central fires were bursting upwards uncon trolled. The two divisions had reached the glacis, just as the firing at the castle had commenced, and the flash of a single musket discharged from the covered way was as a signal showed them that the French were ready ; yet no stir was heard and darkness covered the breaches. Some hay-packs were then thrown, some ladders were placed, and the forlorn hopes and storm ing parties of the light division, about five hundred in all, had descended into the ditch without opposition, when a bright flame shooting upwards displayed all the terrors of the scene. The ramparts, crowded with dark figures and glittering arms, were seen on the one side, and on the other the red columns of the British, deep and broad, were coming on like streams of burn ing lava ; it was the touch of the magician's wand, for a crash of thunder followed, and with incredible violelice the storming parties were dashed to pieces by the explosion of hundreds of shells and powder barrels. " For an instant the light division stood on the brink of the ditch, amazed at the terrific sight, then, with a shout that matched even the sound of the explosion, flew down the ladders, or, disdaining their aid, leaped, reckless of the depth, into the gulph below ; and nearly at the same moment, amidst a blaze of musketry that dazzled the eyes, the fourth division came run ning in, and descended with a like fury. There were, however, only five ladders for both columns, which were close together, and a deep cut made in the bottom of the ditch, as far as the counter-guard of the Tri nidad, was filled with water from the inundation ; into this watery snare the head of the fourth division fell, and it is said that above a hundred of the fusileers, the men of Albuera, were there smothered. Those who followed, checked not, but as if such a disaster had been expected, turned to the left, and thus came upon the face of the unfinished ravelin, which, being rough and broken, was mistaken for the broach, and instantly covered with men; yet a wide and deep chasm was still between them and the ramparts from whence came a deadly fire, wasting their ranks. Thus baffled, they also commenced a rapid discharge of musketry, and disorder ensued ; for the men of the light division, whose conducting engineer had been disabled early, and whose flank was confined by an 'unfinished ditch intended to cut off the bastion of Santa Maria, rushed towards the breaches of the curtain and the Trinidad, which were indeed before them, but which the fourth division were destined to storm. 4‘ Great was the confusion, but now the ravelin was quite crowded with men of both divisions, and while some continued to fire, others jumped down and ran towards the breach, many also passed between the ra velin and the counter guard of the Trinidad, the two divisions got mixed, and the reserves, which should have remained at the quarries, also came pouring in, until the ditch was quite filled, the rear still crowding forward, and all cheering vehemently. The enemy's shouts, also, were loud and terrible, and the bursting of shells and grenades, the roaring of the guns from the flanks, answered by the iron howitzers from the battery of the parallel, the heavy roll and horrid ex plosion of the powder-barrels, the whizzing flight of the blazing splinters, the loud exhortations of the of ficers, and the continual clatter of the muskets, made a maddening din. " Now a multitude bounded up the great breach as if driven by a whirlwind, but across the top glittered LONDoN, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 20. 1U34. HORSE MILL.

N.--Recollections of a Naval Life ! What a strange medley of joys and sorrows do they heap on the mind ! First, there are pleasant cruises, and then tedious cruises, long watch in, an d no watching, fine weat h er and foul weather, ter'rific seas, and seas as smooth as duck ponds ; heavy gales and light gales, the former " blowing great guns, an d small arm s w i t h t h e i r b ayonets fixed and pointed- downwards :" then come calms and hurricanes ; furious squalls and gentle zephyrs ; wet jackets and wet beds, and the luxury of dry ones ; and last, though not least, of these comforts and discomforts, there is fasting and feasting, the former at sea, the latter in harbour. Such are the Recollections we have of a naval life, and a long list of others we might mention, to say nothing of taking prizes, and losing them ; and visiting foreign lands, for the pleasure of being wrecked on them. Captain Scott's " Recollections " are of the most instructing and amusing kind ; they embrace the whole period of the long war, down to the eventful 1815, and will be read with universal in terest. Indeed the whole work derives importance from the numerous historical events which it relates, and abounds with interesting anecdote from the stir ring scenes which these events produce.—Nautical Magazine. CHARGE OF MURDER.—A man, named John Booth, who had been for about three weeks em ployed upon the new works of the Calder and Hebble Canal, at Salterhebble, was taken into custody in this town, by Mr. Brierley, deputy constable, and a police officer from Stockport, on Tuesday morning, under a warrant from Mr. Baron Gurney, on a charge of having killed Sarah Bowden, the landlady of a public house at Bullock Smithy, near Stockport. It ap pears that Booth, who is a notorious character, went to the public-house and asked for drink, which was re fused him. He grossly abused the landlady, who was far advanced in pregnancy, and threatened to Ipawse" her if she did not give him drink. This she again re fused, on which he beat and kicked her so violently as to cause her death.—Halifax Express. from SNl L U a G ndr G e L eies SMUGGLING.--A few days ago a traveller undergoing the usounal arrivi ngsearch by at th ra e le o a ffi ci c en er n s es Of was the customs, when the brigadier, who was standing by, observed that a dog, who kept close to his master had hanging from the under part of his body, the end of some string or fastening. Suspicion arose, the animal was seized and closely examined, when it was soon discovered that, instead of being the long-haired poodle it appeared to be, it was a smooth-skinned beast artificially invested with the coat of a poodle, between which and his body there were concealed with great ingenuity 30 yards of Mechlin lace. The master was persuaded by the bystanders to deny all intimacy with the detected canine smuggler, but he refused, an d t h e traveller was comm i tted with him to onfmemeut, (No. 13,0013.) water, Basingstoke, Overton, Whitchurch, Andover, Sa lisbury, Woodyats Inn, Cashmoer, Blandford, and Dor chester, at Five o'clock Morning, in time for the Post office Guernsey and Jersey Packet.

THE ORIGINAL SYRUP OF DE VELNOS. .ROM amongst numerous letters recently re- JL ceived by Mrs. CANHAM, (sole proprietress of the original VEGETABLE SYRUP of DE VELNOS) all bearing testimony to the extraordinary cures performed by that incomparable medicine, the following case has been selected as presenting one of the most extraordinary results ever heard of. Mrs. Canham begs to observe that although the name and residence of the patient are for particular reasons not made public, she has permission from his parents to give instantaneous private reference to them for a cor roboration of the cure performed upon their son, of which the following is a brief account :—ln the summer of 1829, the young gentleman, while playing at school, fell violently on the ground, and received a contusion on his hip, which occasioned considerable pain, and a slight swelling. After resting a little while at home, the pain ceased, but upon his being sent back to school, it returned with greater force, in consequence, it is supposed, of his turning sud denly round to open a door ; the next morning he was totally unable to leave his bed. The hip being now much swollen, Mr. Abernethy was consulted, who ordered six leeches to be applied. He was subsequently examined by Sir Astley Cooper, who left him in the care of Mr Aber nethy and six other professional gentlemen, after pronoun cing the bone not to be dislocated. He had been under the care of the medical men two years and a half, (the latter six months not being removed out of bed) when Mrs. Canham was applied to, and informed that it was the una nimous and decided opinion of the medical men he could not live the week out. At her recommendation the Vegetable Syrup was instantly administered to the sufferer, who, however, could only swallow it by exceedingly small quan tities in consequence of the debilitated state to which he had previously been reduced. During the period which was occupied in taking the Syrup, several portions of bone exfoliated from the hip, and he was frequently, even now, reduced to the necessity of remaining weeks and months tor - ether in bed, without being able to bear lifting out. By a continued and persevering attention to the directions of Mrs. Canham, he was enabled, after taking the Syrup seven weeks, to rise and walk about, and at the end of a twelvemonth (with the exception of a slight contraction of the limb, occasioned by the surgeon's treatment), he was perfectly and com , *letely cured—a fact which the young man himself can at any time attest, as he may be seen every day pursuing his usual occupation. It is presumed that this testimony to the properties of the Vegetable Syrup is altogether unparalleled, and offers the best proof of its virtues that can be given. The Vegetable Syrup of de Velnos (which is so effica cious in diseases of the Liver, Scrofula, Leprosy, Scurvy, Scorbutic Eruptions, and those melancholy diseases which arise from impurity of the blood and juices) is prepared and sold by Mrs. Canham, No. 52, Berners-street, Oxford street, at 13s. a bottle ; it is also sold by most of the re spectable medicine venders in town and country. The concentrated, for warm climates, may be procured from her deputed agents in the East Indies, viz., Messrs. Storm and Co. (late Mackintosh and Co. ), Calcutta ; Messrs. Forbes and Co., Bombay; and Messrs. Arbuthnot and Co., Madras. UNDER THE PATRONAGE OF HIS MAJESTY, AND AUTHORIZED BY THE LORDS OF THE TREASURY. cIGHT RESTORED.—NERVOUS HEADACHE CURED. This discovery has proved itself of the greatest importance to the public. The numerous testimonials the inventor has received during the last twenty years, from families and editors of the first respectability, proving the truth of this infallible restorative, all of whom may be applied to, who have been relieved from cataract, gutta serena, opthalmia, and in flammations, all diseases of the eyes and head having been completely eradicated, glasses left off after twenty years' use, and the person rendered impervious to contagion by the frequent use of this delightful compound of the most wholesome, choice, aromatic, and odoriferous herbs. It is recommended by occulists and medical practitioners for its many virtues. The high patronage and character it has attained is a testimonial beyond suspicion.

Of what it is compounded we know not ; but this we know, that it is wonderfully efficacious, relieving headache and purging the eyes of in jurious humours, especially if th e y are o f a scro f u l ous na ture. It is also an extremely complaisant companion when toiling over musty books or writings, and tends most powerfully to enable the eye to perform, without fail, an unusual quantity of labour." OBSERVATIONS of the Editor of the United Service Gazette, April 19, 1834.—" The advance of civilization, which gives birth to so many new forms of infi rm it y an d disease, brings in its train new discoveries of r eme di a l agents and new applications of science to their virtu es .
