This line of railway will secure important advantages to the local and commercial interests of North Wales : it will bring into close connexion the city and port of Bangor, and the town and port of Carnarvon. The line will thence proceed through the great mineral and slate dis tricts of Carnarvonshire, in the vicinity of Snowdon. Llanberis, Nevin, Pwllheli, to Porth Dynllaen, in the same county, situated in its chief agricultural district. The whole length of the line is twenty eight miles. Forth Dynllaen is well known as a safe and commodious harbour, possessing great natural advantages, and situated near the extremity of one of tile headlands bounding Carnarvon Bay, Holyhead forming the other. The harbour possesses great advantages, as a harbour of reffige, over every other port on the coast of North Wales, as is proved by the Custom-house books of the port, which show that no fewer than 3.315 vessels put in there for shelter during the years 1840, 1841, 1842, and 1843. The conunanding maritime importance of the situation will be evi dent, when it is considered that North Wales supplies nearly the whole world with slate, and that this can be readily shipped at Forth Dyullaen from all the principal quarries, including the celebrated quarries of Penrhyn and Dinorwig, under circumstances which will reduce the freights to all parts of the South of Ireland, South Wales, and the South of England, including London and Bristol, to one-half of their present amount. This is a fact unde niable, as not only will a reduction of almost sixty miles be effected in the length of the voyage, but the dangerous bar of Carnarvon, and the hazardous navigation of the Swlllics within the Straits will be avoided, and a variety of extra River dues saved. The copper, lead, and other mines, and the valuable stone quarries at the Rivals, recently opened by a Liverpool Company, con tiguous to the proposed line of Railway, will also have thrown open for their produce this advantageous means of transit to the southern markets, as well as an immediate railway conveyance to those ports in direct communication with Liverpool, and consequently with large foreign markets, as well as those of Scotland, and the northern and midland counties of England. The population of Bangor arid Carnarvon comprised in the electoral districts, together with that residing on either side and extremity in the locality of the proposed line of Railway, amount to upwards of 40,000 persons. The well-known scenery and antiquities of North Wales have long been objects of progressively increasing interest to a very large num ber of tourists and visitors during the summer and autumn months ; at which periods of the year five steam vessels per week run between Liverpool and Bangor ; and it is on record, that in one year Bangor was visited by 50,000 persons. Upon this part of the subject it is important to notice that the southern terminus of the line will be directly opposite to the port of Wicklow, whereby travellers will reach in the most direct manner the celebrated scenery of the county of Wicklow, while on this side this Railway will facilitate immediate access to the romantic districts of Ilethgellert, Tremadoc, Llanberis, and Snowdon. There are now five public means of conveyance passing daily be tween.Bangor,Carnarvon, Llanberis,Neviinand vice versa, carrying on an average six passengers each way, which will produce in a year 17,280 persons. There arc kept for the purpose of hire, at Bangor, the Menai Bridge, Carnarvon, and other places adjacent to the line, 100 vehicles for public accommodation, which may be fairly computed to convey three passengers per day for seven months of the year, going from and returning to places which the line will command, thus amounting to 100,800 persons. Of the population adjoining the line of Railway before stated, amounting to 40,000, it may be fairly estimated that those travel daily on foot, and in their own means of conveyance, exclusive of any additional allowance for market and fair days, will supply a daily source of traffic equal to 60 persons ; and calculating that they will return, they will amount in the year to 34,560 persons. There are two turnpike-gates between Bangor and Carnarvon, the tolls of which for single horse vehicles are ls., being at the rate of lid. per mile. These gates were let last year, exclusive of the cost of collection, for 5211. per annum. There are held in different parts of Carnarvonshlre, adjacent to this Line, more than forty fairs in the course of the year. The cattle, sheep, and pigs, collected at these fairs are now driven to different parts of England, and form the great export of North Wales ; and it is but reasonable to suppose that when a Railway communication shall be established, that mode of conveyance will be preferred. It was said by Sir Robert Peel, on his introduction of the tariff, that the importation of cattle from Ireland increased, in twenty years, from 17,000 head into all the English ports, to 100,000 head, into Liverpool alone. The extensive chain of Railways now forming in Ireland, and the completion of the proposed lines of Railway between Kingstown and Wicklow, and Waterford and Wicklow, will cause the Irish cattle traffic, which at present enters England by Liverpool and Bristol, to be concentrated on Forth Dynllaen, the sea voyage be tween Wicklow and Forth Dynllaen being shorter, by five geographical miles, than by any other ports in the English and Irish Channels; and shorter, by one-half, than between those ports which now enjoy the Irish cattle trade. The course of this Line by the engineer's report and sections, is exceedingly favourable, both as respects gradients and the inexpensive character of the works. The cost of the Railway, and of the pro posed improvement of the Harbour, does not exceed 300,0001. The Plans, Sections, and Books of reference have been duly de posited in the proper departments, and application will be made for an Act in the present session of Parliament. Arrangements have been made with responsible contractors to complete the Railway within the engineer's estimates, both as to time and amount, and thus the sufficiency of the capital is placed beyond a doubt. In preparing the estimate of the returns to be expected, as shown in the traffic table subjoined, the calculation has been based with much care upon the most authentic accounts it was possible to procure. The result is highly satisfactory, ano the undertaking offers an eligible field for investment, the clear profits being found equal to thirteen per cent. on the capital to be employed.

NoTE.—In making out traffic estimates, it hitherto has been cus tomary to assume that the present numloer travelling by coach, Ste., would be doubled by the construction of a Radway ; accordingly it has been deemed advisable not to depart in the present instance from the usual Parliamentary practice, although experience has shown that, on every important Railway, the passenger traffic has increased in a far greater pr•portion. The Irish Railway Commissioners, in illustration of the fact, state that the Stockton and Darlington Rail way increased the passenger traffic from 4,000 to 16,000, the Bolton Railway from 15,000 to 125,000, Newcastle and Carlisle from 33,000 to 125,000, Dundee and Newtyre from 4,000 to 50,000, Liverpool and Manchester 146,000 to 500,000, Brussels and Antwerp 75,000 to 1,200,000. Since the Commissioners made their report, the Birmingham, Grand Junction, and Great Western Railways have been completed, and the result shows that their passenger traffic has increased' in the propor tion of four to one. Nor is the accession of traffic arising from tourists in this district to be underrated. The Irish Railway Commissioners, in speaking of Railways of this description, observe, " Among the inducements which we may notice as holding out a prospect of sup port for such undertakings, are to be mentioned the numbers from all parts of the United Kingdom, and even the continent of Europe, who would resort to Ireland as travellers to view the natural beauties of its splendid and varied scenery, and some, no doubt, to acquire a more perfect knowledge of the character and condition of the people. The Line which we propose to Cork passes within a morning drive of Killarney, and through a highly Oct , resque country besides ; and should a Railway be completed to Holyhead, or some other port in North Wales, the tourist will then have an opportunity of passing through the magnificent mountain scenery of Wales, and visiting the most remarkable places both in the North and South of Ireland, at a moderate expense, and in a few days. To many, the saving of time will be a much more valuable consideration than a reduction of ex pense, though the latter will, of course, operate as a strong induce ment to numbers ; and we have no doubt that a considerable acces sion of traffic will be derived during the summer and autumn of every year from this source."

We have received our overland dispatch in anticipa tion of the Indian Mail of the Ist of January, and letters from our correspondents, together, with Bombay papers to that date, and Calcutta paper d to the 23d of December. India is tranquil, with th'e exception of some trifling disturbances in the jungle's of the small state of Sawunt WTarrce on the Malabrx coast. The disturbances which existed in the districts of Kolapore, at the time of the departure of the last mail, appear t 4 have subsided. The celebrated fortresses of Punalla. and Pownaghur, which lie to the north of the town of Kolapore, at a distance of about fifteen miles, were captured in a most gallant manner on the Ist of Dc ember by the force under the command of General Re la Motto. The only remarkable casualty was the death of Colonel Ricks of the Bombay army, who had one of his legs shattered by a cannon-ball, which passed through his horse and injured the other leg. Ile died within a few hours. This occurred at :tike taking i)essession Of the tale town at the foot of the rock fortress. The capture of Pitmans, which was looked upon in ' that country as being impregnable, has tended to I bring about the submission of the inhabitants, who prefer now to rely on the mercy of the British authorities rather than a tt em pt ma ki ng a fruitless i I re sistance even n their best forts. Colonels Outram and Ovens have been both removed from Kolapore, and Captain Douglas Graham, an officer of great promise, has been dispatched by the Bombay Government thither, for the • purpose of co-operating with Mr. Reeves, the Political Commissioner, in intro ducing a system of peace and good government into those districts. There appears to be a wanton tyranny practised by the Ministers of the Raja of Kolapore, which has driven his subjects into rebellions, and renders the removal of the Raja and his Ministers, and his system,, a matter of political utility. Colonel Ovens, who had been a prisoner during some days. in Punalla, was voluntarily liberated by the in hatjitants two days before that fortress was attacked. They had hoped to obtain favourable terms by his liberation. In the small State of Sawunt Warree, which lies be tween the Kolapore mountains and the sea, a sort of I " Robin Hood " insurrection has been got up by an old freebooter, called Phond Sawunt, who, after some years of tranquil enjoyment of a pension, thought fit to try his luck in the jungles, and has induced his own sons, and even the sou and heir of the Raja of Warree to join in the excursion. They are now livin g in the jungle under the mountains, an d they keep that part of the Concan in great confusion. Much of their confidence arises from the neighbouring state of Goa affording them a place of refuge in case of 1 their being compelled to flee from their own country. The present Portuguese Governor of Goa, Senhor Pes tanha, is said to be well affected to the English ; but the impotent system which now regulates that state is such that the Governor is not able to prevent the frontiers of his territory from being violated by those insurge n t s . There was a considerabl British force assembled in Sawunt Warree at the time of the departure of the mail, and every expectation existed of the speedy termination of the disturbances there. Colonel Outram had left Bombay on the 31st of December, in order to make arrangements for having light field detachments to scour the country, and to penetrate the recesses of the jungles. The system of government in Sawunt Warree, as well as in Kolapors 9 requires to be placed on a n i m p rove d an d a permanent footing, for both States have, during the last twenty years, been the hot beds of frequent rebellion. In the small state of Bhopal which lies almost in the centre of India, there have been, during ten years, great intrigues at work between two Princesses, the Begum widow, and her daughter Secunder, who was the wife of the Nawab, and both of whom wished to hold the reins of power. The Nawab died at the age of 27, on the 9th of December, the victim of dissipation, leaving a daughter by Secunder, who is but 64 years old. Mr. Hamilton, the agent at Indore, was at Bhopal at the timo of the cio•Ah of the Ihwo.h, and has made effective arrangements for the preservation of order and tanatiult lity. In the north of India there was great watchfulness displayed , by . the civil and military authorities. The Commander-in-Chief, Sir Hugh Gough, had gone on a tour of revision. The necessity of this watchful ness is apparent, for the kingdom of Runjeet Singh is now in a state of transition, and there is no certainty of a war not breaking out on those im portant frontiers, which may involve the best interests of British India. Heera Singh, the actual Prime Minister, is a young man, who together with his uncle Ghoolab Singh, with whom he is at present recon ciled, and a party of mountaineers, is endeavouring to seize the sovereignty for himself. There are revolts in dif ferent parts of the disorganized country, and especially at Cashmere, where some of the other mountain Rajas,whom he has oppressed, are now successful in their resistance against the Government of Lahore. Peshora Singh, a son of Runjeet, was at Ferozepore. The Affghan Government, led on by Dhost Mahomed and his notorious son, Akbar Khan, has been paralysed by the presence of the plague which came from the en virons of Bokhara, and ravaged the town of Caubul, and had, in the beginning of December, reached Pe shawur. Fortunately it assumed a milder appearance as it approached to the banks of the Indus ; yet its pro gress was feared down that river, and also into the Punjaub. In Sinde all was quiet and order. The 78th High landers continued to suffer severely from sickness : it was said that they would be speedily removed from Sukkar to Hyderabad, and perhaps to Bombay. Sir Charles Napier had marched from Kurrachee towards Shirkarpore, with an intention, as it was asserted, of avenging on the town and district of Poolajee the un successful movements of Captains Taite and Fitzgerald. The trial of Colonel Moseley bad terminated in his being sentenced to be cashiered. His defence has been published, and it proves that the sentence was justly confirmed. The recommendation of the Court, to " have mercy" on account of his 39 years' of service, was not ' attended to. His fate is pitied, for it is painfu l see an old o ffi cer thus dismissed with infamy, but the mutiny in his regiment was unpardonable, and six men were hanged and others punished for his errors. In Gwalior there is some confusion arising from the conflict of parties, and not from any wish to create a war. The Minister, who is acting there under the guidance of Sir Richmond Shakespeare, is not popular. In Bundelkund and Saugur, where there was great disgust last year, tranquillity now prevails in conse quence of the decided measures adopted by Lord Ellen borough. The Governor-General, Sir Henry Hardinge, re mained at Calcutta, where ho was regulating the means of educating the natives for public employments. He had received several addresses from the natives, to which he gave highly satisfactory answers, and promised his aid for the improvement of the country and its people. The Lord Bishop of Calcutta had a severe illness during his visitation of the South-Western districts, but he was recovering his health at Umballa. In Madras the rainy season had been defective up to the middle of December • but a storm and violent ra in s bad relieved the fears o f ? the cultivators. The barque Lord Eldon was totally lost during the gale en the 18th of December. A subscription was formed there for the purpose of completing the project,pd pier, under the superintendence of M. Piron, a French engineer. The news from China comes down to the 19th of November. The principal point of interest was the dispute between the Governor of Hong-Kong and the inhabitants relative to the registration of the population and a poll-tax, which was ordered by an ordinance published on the 19th of October. The merchants wrote a bold address, in which the measures of the Government were declared to be " iniquitous." This address was returned to the signers. An angry correspondence ensued. The Chinese population struck work, and prepared t _to e quit the colony. The Governor then withdrew_ h h is obnoxious ordinance to have it amended. .. 1 : which blame is thrown on both sides. One calm observer i ,,,,, a observer has stated, that the whole of a sys temmis- understanding arising from the wantin India, where discussion has given rise to various comments, in of legislation, such as is pra ctis ed s are published three the drafts of all such measuirne order to give the months before enactment, in v of expressing their opi nion.public an opportunit y ofpublic order. Trade was all violent breaches dull in China- The French Ambassador had . prudent mode, which prevents with Keying, which was sent to concluded the treaty Europe for ratification. The Secretary to the Embassy, M. de Marquis de Ferrere le Voyer, came from Macao This to Bombay, where he waited for the steamer of the Ist of January, by which he proceeded to Egypt. He has is or a tunit. brought the treaty for the examination and ratification of the French Government. THE WAR IN KOLAPORE. ;NOTIFICATION. POLITICAL DEPARTnENT.

DECLARATION OF TH I .I GUARDIANS OF BRENT, DEVON. IFIALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS. A SURE CURE FOR BAD LEGS. The following case has excited so much interest, that the Guardians of the parish of Brent, Devon, have considerel it their duty to sign their names to the accompanying important declaration : We, the ndersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas /to fins, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person mlg t have laid hi- fist in them) ; that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines before taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops,' and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," have co rpletely cured him, and he is now enabled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Soorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public. Signed by John Elliott, sen., Lord of the Manor, John Maiming William Pearce, Henry Goodman, Arthur Lang-worthy. June 21,1543 The abave.mentioned Thomas Rolins was quite incapable of doing any kind of work whatever before he commenced taking those Drops. Some of his wounds were so large, that it was most awful to look at them, and the itching and pain of the wounds generally were most dreadful; indeed, the poor fellow could be heard screeching by passersby, both day and night, for sleep was entirely out of the ques tion. He was reduced to mere skin and bone, and daily continued to get weaker, so that there wai every probability of his speedy death. Rea the following extract from the " Nottingham Review":— "I fa URITY OF THE BLOOD THE CAUSE OF SCURVY, BAD LEGS, &c. " It is really astonishing that so many persons should be content to be afflicted with scurvy, wounds in the legs, &c., when it is a well. ascertained fact that Halse's Scorlyatiz. Drops' make the disease vanish like snow before the sun No one Is better enabled to judge of the value of a medicine as to its effects on the bulk of the people than a vendor of the article ; and as vendors of this medicine we can conscientiously recommend it to our friends, for there is scarcely a day passes but we hear some extraordinary accounts of it ; indeed, we have known parties who have tried other advertised medicines without the least success, and yet on resorting to this preparation the now justly celebrated' Halse's Scorbutic Drops,' the disease has yycelled if by magic.

By Dr. CRONIN, Physician to the Strand Dispensary for Consumption. CONSIIMPTION.—PRACTICAL INCONSISTENCY.—The " Senior Con sulting Physician" to the Hospital for Consumption, Dr. Forbes, 12, Old Burlington-street, asserts (and I have no doubt, as far as his own experience and practical knowledge may warrant, truly), that Consumption (the disease for the cure of which this institution is established), is incura de, and that all who differ with him in opinion are " blockheads." I ask you, Dr. Forbes, how you will account to her Most Gracious Majesty, and to her august Consort, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, for obtaining their patronage for an institu tion—for what ? for the cure of a disease which you, the chief phy sician, pronounce absolutely incurable ; nay, more, you, the highest authority—from whose opinion there is no appeal—maintain, not only the absolute incurability of a disease (to be cured in this hospital), while denouncing the curability as the offspring of the grossest folly : in a word, the raving follies of a " blockhead." How will you reconcile the Governors and subscribers in general to the wanton expenditure of their money i What will the poor, who are compelled to apply to this hospital for advice, think ?—what will your colleagues think ? Will they consult you in extremities—in cases of doubt and difficulty? I should think not. For who now thinks of consulting the consulting physician, if, like you, he maintains the in curability of the disease for the cure of which he is to be consulted Oh, most preposterous absurdity ! Consult Dr. Forbes on a case of consumption, and then—what must the Medical Committee think of you, still holding the office of " Senior Consulting Physician," while you dogmatically announce there can be no subject for deliberation— no matter for consultation ? I beg pardon, it may be the perquisite of the " Senior Consulting Physician" to consult as to the nomination ofthe undertaker.—From Dr. Cronin's " Letter on the Curability of Consumption."

SUDDEN DEATH OF A SCENE-SHIFTER. —An in quest was held on Monday, at the Harlequin, Drury-lane before Mr. Higgs, on the body of Thomas Burns, aged thirty-five, a scene-shifter at Drury-lane Theatre. Thomas Heaford, also a scene-shifter, said that on Saturday last, at twelve o'clock. he saw the deceased on the stage, work ing the scenery during the rehearsal of a new piece, and in about a quarter of an hour he found him suffering from a pain at his heart. Deceased soon grew so weak that he was unable to proceed with his work, and finding him gradually sinking, he had him conveyed home. T he whole of that morning he had been greatly excited and flurried at his work, for he was rather behindhand with what he had to do. Edward Percival, another scene-shifter, corroborated the above evidence, and said that the deceased died soon after his return home.

The lion. the Governor in Council is also pleased to pub lish a further dispatch from Major-General Delamotte, C. 8., of the 30th ult., with its enclosures, detailing the operations of a portion of the force under his command in capturing the petta of Punalla, in the course of which Lieutenant-Colonel Hicks, of the 2d Grenadier Regiment of Bombay Native Infantry, fell mortally wounded at the head of the third brigade. The Governor in Council deeply regrets the loss of this highly -respected and meritorious officer, who atter forty years of faithful and honourable service has thus closed his career gloriously in the service of his country.

Sir,—With reference to my letter of yesterday's date T now do myself the honour to forward the several reports as noted below, of the operations before the forts of Punalla and Powanglitir. The breaching battery having opened on the morning of the Ist within 350 yards of the walls of Punalla, which in two hours began to progress rapidly, I was convinced that a practicable breach would be effected in sufficient time to carry the place by storm with sufficient daylight to enable precautionary measures to be taken to prevent the escape or the insurgents during the night. I therefore ordered the storming party to be held in readiness under Lieutenant- Colonel Brough, who had urgently solicited to command it (200 of his own men composing the assaulting column), which I readily assented to; about four P.M. the breach was reported practicable, when I immediately ordered the ade Vance from the breaching battery ; they were eovered by the field pieces and mortars most judiciously arranged to keep down the fire of the enemy, which was most efficiently car ried into execution by Lieutenant-Colonel Lloyd, command ing the artillery. The difficulty of reaching the walls was very great, from the rugged and steep ascent, which led to a ledge or path by which they were obliged to proceed, flanked by a very heavy fire from the walls, and large stones hurled down upon them as they advanced, which they did in a most gallant manner to the breach. Among the first and foremost I noticsKt Lieutenant-Colonel Brough, Lieutenant Graham, and the/ gallant Lieutenant-Colonel Outram, C.B. (Major Peat, C. 8., when at the head of the storming party, being temporarily disabled by a stone), Lieutenant blardall and some riflemen, who I had observed had got close under the walls from the gateway side, after which I could not discriminate indivi duals. About half the storming party had entered the breach, when the reserve advanced under Lieutenant-Colonel Wallace, who, seeing the difficulty of the ascent and time taken by the storming party, inclined to the right by a much easier route up a road which led to the gateway, whence tho breach was reached. In about an hour the place was entirely in our possession, and every precautionary measure taken to prevent the escape of any of the insurgents during the night ; but no correct in formation could be obtained regarding Babajee Ahirakur, the leader of the rebels; the following morning the bodies of Babajee Ahirakur and Appa Mange, the former the chief and the latter one of the principal leaders of the rebel Seebundies, were found among the slain. Upwards of 2,000 prisoners have been taken ; two of the most important are Babajee Saloonker mid Luximon Naik Jaddow, also the Killadars (llavildars) of Punalla and Powanghur. The difficulty of closely investing these two forts has been very great, from the magnitude and extent of the place ; but many obstacles were overcome by the storm and taking of the north petta by the 3d brigade, under the late much-to be-lamented Lieutenant-Colonel Hicks, who was killed on that occasion ; Lieutenant-Colonel Poole, C. 8., her Majesty's 22d Itegitnent ; and subsequently Lieutenant-Colonel Har vey, her Majesty's 14th Dragoons, who succeeded to the command of the 3d brigade ; the vigilance of that brigade throughout the siege contributed greatly to our success. I beg now to bring to the favourable notice of his Excel lency the Commander-in-Chief Lieutenant-Colonel Lloyd, C.D., commanding the Artillery, who conducted that branch of the service with great zeal and ability; who was 1 1104 ably and zealously assisted by his staff officer Captain Glasse: scattered as the artillery necessarily were between camP and the several positions, his duties were difficult, but per formed in a manner highly creditable to that officer ; Afajer Peat, C. 8., commanding the Engineers, whose zeal and inde fatigable exertions, scientific skill, and judgment are beyond all praise ; ably assisted by Lieutenants Graham and Mun bee, of the Engineers, and Lieutenant Aitchison, of the 2d European Light Infantry, acting assistant in that depart ment ; Brigadier Brough, of her Majesty's 2d Queen's, com manding 2d Brigade, who led the storming party in a most gallant manner ; Brigadier Wallace, of the 20th Regiment Madras Native Infantry, who commanded the reserve, and closely f01107, - zd the storming party ; and Lieutenant- Colonel Outram, C. 8., who on all and every occasion ten dered his services, and from whom I received valuable infor mation and suggestions, which I acted on with every con fidence. I followed the track of the storming party and entered the breach with the reserve, accompanied by the Assistant- Onphliv, thP Agir;cf:42.lt.ol-4114,r. master-General, Captain Adams, Captain Threshie, of the Commissariat Department, and my Aide-de-Camp, Lieute nant Delamotte, whose aid and assistance gave me great satisfaction throughout in restoring order and checking ex cesses, which were less than could be possibly expected on such an occasion. Where all have nobly performed their duty with a zeal and gallantry not to be surpassed, and with cordiality and good feeling, aproof of discipline and devotion to the serric.e. I must refer his Excellency to the several reports herewith forwarded, wherein individuals are particularly named for his Excellency's consideration. I beg to conclude with a short account of our progreaa from Bndderghur. From the base of the hill we marched on the 20th of November, a distance of 47 miles 6 furlongs to our present position. At daylight on the Ist of December the guns were in position at 350 yards, and at 4 o'clock rat. the place was carried by assault,—a place regarding which, in an extract from a confidential letter from Lieutenant-Co lonel Welsh, in 1827, to Lieutenant-Colonel Hardy, the Quar termaster-General f the Bombay army, who was well ac quainted with the fort of Punalla, the former states, " With my present knowledge, however, of the only defects, I would undertake to capture it in two or three months by ex cessive, but certain labour ; it is a Gibraltar on the Neil gherries." The important capture of these fortresses will be duly ap preciated, I have no doubt, by his Excellency and the Go vernment, and will, I trust, be a sufficient proof that every exertion was made, and the siege carried on in a moat vigo rous and judicious manner. I have the honour to forward the return of killed and wounded, which, considering the extent of the operations carried on, it is gratifying to state are few in number, con sidering the strength of the garrison and resistance made.. Returns of the ordnance and ordnance stores captured in both forts are also herewith forwardeel.—l have the honour to be, &c., P. DELAMOTTE, Major-General.

Punalla Fort, Dec. 2, 1844. Sir,—ln compliance with the desire of the Major-General commanding, 1 do myself the honour to report that the storming party which he did me the honour to place under my command last evening performed their duty with the utmost gallantry and devotion, but. of this the Major-General was himself a near observer. It would be an injustice to the gallant few I had an oppor tunity of particularly noticing, if I did not bear testimony to their conduct by notifying their names to the Major-General. The man who had the honour of first reaching the summit of the breach was Lieut. Graham, of the Bombay Engineers; but an accident prevented his being the first to descend be yond it. The heroic Lieut.-Col. Outran], C. 8., was in his accustomed place, the front rank, and with him my Major of Brigade, Lieut. Addison, 2d or Queen's Royal Regiment. Capt. Jeplison, commanding the portion of the Queen's storming party; Capt. Price, of the same regiment; Captain Gillanders, commanding the portion of the 2d Bombay Eu ropean Light Infantry • and ',lents. Campbell and Saville, of the same regiment ; itiajor Peat, GB., and Lieut. Munbee, of the Bombay Engineers, crowded, I might say, on to the same rank ; I am unable to particularise further. The individuals amongst the inferior grades whom I had an opportunity of particularly noticing, were Sergeant Ben jamin Dorkings, Private Francis Connor, Peter M'Farlane, Christopher Mooney, Ilugh M'Anev, Michael M'Cuteheon, of the 2d or Queen's; and No. 6 Private Nicholson, No. 1 Private Forest, of the 2d Bombay European Light Infantry; and I know that Corporal John -Jameson, Queen's, was par ticularly forward. It gives me great satisfaction to state that the covering_ party, formed by the ride company of the 16th Madras Native a s j i o u r n G ess illan ro, d, e Infantry, vied with the advance of the storming party for the post of honour. 'll excuse me referring to an officer „ new, I trust the Major-General and Lieutenant - Colonelwhoorthe moment, dangerous in command of the Queen's, ceased wl to be under my commwanhdo. fr l om all d u a d n e from his sick bed to lead his regiment, and was carried up the steep ascent and the breach by his men. This circumstance could hardl , have been known to Lieu tenant-Colonel Wallace, and Hill, I trust, serve as my excuse for mentioning the name of this old and gallant officer.

Sir,—l have the honour to state to you, for the informa tion of Major-General Delamotte, C. 8., that having at half past two, r.m. ' received your intimation that the storming of . the fortress of Punalla might probably take place soon after three o'clock, I immediately carried into effect the arrange ment I had previously made, namely, that Lieut.-Colonel Poole, C. 8., commanding her Majesty's 22d Regiment, and second in command of the 3d brigade, should march upon the post at the north-western end of the petta or village, for , some days past occupied by Major Conway, C. 8., of her Majesty's 22d Regiment, with a strong detachment of 300 men. Lieutenant-Colonel Poole was requested to bring with him, without loss of time, the whole of the available reserve force of the brigade, consisting of about 200 men of his own '; regiment, and of less than half that number of the 2d, or Grenadier Regiment of Bombay Native Infantry. ander Capt. j, Hogg, in charge of the head-quarters of that regiment. 1 his force, united with the 200 of her 'Majesty's 22d, C ? ri n . the 100 grenadiers already in the petta, under way, I knew was fully sufficient to meet any i ion we should enemy could oppose directly to us in the rn pol north.eastern take up, if he chose to issue in force from the Major nich the prevent the egress of gate, and it was my intention thus o m i t )y he th w e h r o a la .r_ tohi m an e y ss bg f d3 3 - r o ai f o t r he co e n ne r, m ay y, e b . y pa t r h y u : as necessary in the meantime to' , from the gateway. t cflo p sTly i supported cover from the bates._ serve, and to have met him , face to Ike e . in the road leading,. s k an eep this advanced part' well under__ t firing of matchlocks, wall pieces, and large pa, to OPENING of the GRAVESEND and ROCHESTER RAILWAY.
