This horrible slaughter absolutely lasted for three hours and a half, when Sir Charles, seeing that the battle must be won or lost within twenty minutes directed a desperate charge of cavalry on the right of the Belooches, while the infantry made one more final dash at the enemy, who at length gave way, the grapeshot still pouring into their dense masses, and the soldiers still using their bayonets with the ferocity of men acimally steeped in blood and mad dened by the fury of the fight. Such was the famous battle of Meeanee, fought on the I.7th of February, 1843, and won by less than 2,000 men against more than 30,000. The dreadful result, as stated by Sir William Napier, was that, of the British forces, twenty officers went down, six killed, with two hundred and fifty ser geants and privates, of whom sixty were slain out right. " The loss of the Belooches was enormous, almost exceeding belief. A careful computation gave 6,000, and most of these died, as no quarter was given." " Thus, in four hours two thousand men struck do wn 6,ooo—th ree t o each man. We tu rn g l a dl y f rom t h ese h orr ibl e details of human slaughter. Six of the Ameers at once sur rendered, yielded the fortress of Hydrabad, and offered their rich swords and arms to the General, who would not accept them. In a few days the army took possession of Hydrabad—the Ameers, who had none of them s h own themse l ves i n th e field, being left unmolested in their palaces. Still, however, Scinde was not won. Shere Mahomed, one of the mo s t p ower f ul, and, to do him jus tice, most manly of the Ameers, was collecting a new army, and me nac i ng a new war. Sir Charles Napier contented himself with strengthening his position, and Lord Ellenborough, with his con gratulations on Meeanee, sent reinforcements of in fantry, cavalry, and artillery—horse and camel. The General's chief difficulty was about the captive Ameers, who could not now be trusted, and whom he determined to d e th rone, and virtually to im prison. Into the much disputed policy of this ques tion we shall not enter. Possibly the General was influenced by a phrase, which had got abroad among the native population and the Belooches— viz., " Cabul the British." Sir William Napier is particularly anxious to vindicate his brother's conduct as to these princes, and heaps up masses of evidence to prove the wantonness and cruelty of their former tyranny. We proceed, however, with the narrative. Sir Charles, with his troops refreshed and powerfully reinforced, sum moned Shere Mahomed, surnamed the " Lion," to surrender. He was still expecting the arrival of yet more reinforcements under Major Slack, when he found that Mahomed intended to attack them before they could effect a junction. By the skilful manoeuvring of three bodies of his army, the gene ral out-generalled the " Lion," and then prepared to give him fair and open battle. Even more than Meeanee, the contest which ensued was a pitched and stricken field. The two armies were drawn out in regular military order facing each other, the Belooches persevering in their usual tactics of con cealment. DEATH OF LIEUT.-GENERAL SIR CHAS. JAMES NAPIER. It is with deep regret that we announce that this very distinguished officer and remarkable man is no more. He died at five o'clock yesterday morn ing, at his seat at Oaklands, near Portsmouth. In losing Sir Charles Napier, the country loses one of its brightest military ornaments, and one of its most acute and i n d e f at i ga bl e m ili tary adminis trators and reformers. In many respects, Sir Charles stood markedly out, even amid the gallant and able men amongst whom he spent his long and adventurous life. Brave to rashness, and beyond it—loving, in his early days, danger for its own sake—adventurous to an extreme—indefatigable in all he undertook —with as much fertility of in vention as rapidity in action—equally ready with tongue, pen, and sword—and, to crown all, of a strangely wild an d eccentric appearance Sir. Charles was a man perfectly sui generic. Able as are and were the members of this able family, from the time of Napier of Merchistoun downwards, per haps Sir Charles James Napier was, as a general, an administrator, and a ruler, the ablest of them all. The predominating quality of his mind may be set down as a fiery energy and a restless longing for action. He was keen in like and dislike, ut terly intolerant of all ablises. He always spoke his mind, and in speaking it never failed to call a spade a spade. Few officers in the British army led such a life of continuous mental and physical exertion as Sir Charles. At one time he was fight ing as a commissioned officer, at another as a volun teer. His exploits extended to sea as well as land. Now we see him as the governor of a colony, again as a negotiator, a diplomatist, and an administra tor, abolishing the savage customs of a fierce and untractable people; - and introducing with vast energy all manner of reforms i n th e discipline of his own troops. Worn out at length, and riddled with wounds received in the Peninsula and in India, the body—not the indomitable mind — gradually failed ; and after not less than fifty-four years of service—by far the greater proportion of the time, active service—the conqueror of Scinde, and the hero of Hyderabad and Meanee, has breathed his last, as did his great commander, tranquilly in his bed.

It was d ur i ng this siege that the dread fully' sanguine battle of Albuera was fought by the British troops, under the command of Marshal Be resford, and the Spanish troops in full flight. The circumstances of Albuera are well known. The po sition of the English army had become well nigh desperate, when bya consummate movement directed by Colonel Hardinge (now cowman ier-in-chief), the tide was turned and the French (under &mit) routed with wretched slaughter. After taking part in innumerable skirmishes and unrecorded rencontres, Lieutenant-Colonel Napier returned to England and presently exchanged the repose which the visit afforded him for the delights of a fighting cruize off the Chesapeak, capturint , American vessels and ma ki ng f requent descents' upon the coasts. This was, probably, the most inglorious epoch of his life. Indeed the only bright spot of that miserable war was the taking, by the Shannon, of the Chesapeak—the exploit of burning down Washington being one which we have little to boast of. Back again in England, upon the peace, Colonel Napier must, one would think, have been grievously afflicted at missing such a noble catastrophe as Waterloo. He arrived however three days after the battle, took part in the storming of the ramparts of Combray, and accompanied the army to Paris. A period of mili tary inactivity followed, during part of which Co lonel Napier, being stationed in the Greek islands, was appointed to the government of the island of Cephalonia. His brother, in the introductory part of the " Conquest of Scinde," is eloquent about the excellent government bestowed by Colonel Napier on the Cephalonese, who, he says, still call him " Father,' and still cultivate and remit to him the profits of a small patch of vines, Sir Charles being ignorant even of the names of his attached friends. Into the question of the recall of Sir Charles from his Greek government we will not enter. He was very indignant at the affair, and expressed the same in very indignant phrases. While in Cephalonia, Sir Charles concocted, with Byron, a plan for the deliverance of Greece, which however, says Sir William Napier, was disregarded by the Greek committee in London, adding, "Why it is for the Humes, the Ellices, and the Bowrings to say." After a short command of the military district of Charles James Napier, the son of Col. Napier, was born at Whitehall, London, on the 10th of August, 1782. He is said to have been considered a delicate child, and was brought up according ; but if he was, he must have speedily, in common phrase, grown out of it. Young Napier was re moved at an early age to Ireland—to Castletown, in the county of Kildare. Here he received his education, at the hands of his father, who, how ever, appears to have made it of the shortest, as, before the boy had finished his twelfth year, he re ceived, on the 31st of January, 1794, an ensign's commission in the 22d Regiment of Foot ; and on the Bth of May following he was gazetted a lieu tenant. Here was quick promotion ; but stirring times were at hand. The Reign of Terror was in full swing, and the symptoms of Irish disaffection were becoming visible. Four years after, that country was in a blaze, and young Napier saw his first service as aide-de-camp to Sir James Duff. His regiment still keeping in Ireland, where it was recruited, he was called out on the occasion of the Emmett plot and insurrection, and the young soldier had a second time the opportunity of seeing the horrors of civil war. But he was soon destined to a share in campaigning upon a greated scale. Towards the end of 1803, he obtained his company, and exchanged into the bOth, a regiment which is popularly called in the army " The Dirty Half- Hundred ;" but which calls itself, with more rea son, " Th Fighting Fiftieth," as on its colours are emblazoned "Egypt," " imiera," " Corunna," " Almarez," " Vittoria," " Pyrenees," " Orthes," "Peninsula," " Panniar." Having been ap pointed to a majority on the 29th of May, 1806, he commanded this regiment during the terrible retreat on Corunna under Sir John Moore, and during the fatal battle in which that gifted leader fell. Nor had Major Napier much better fortune, for he was wounded in five places and made prisoner. The 42d and 50th had attacked and driven the French out of a village called Elvina, and Sir John Moore had sent a battalion of Guards to reinforce the regiments in continuing the ad vance. The 42d, however, taking the Grenadiers for a relief, partially fell back, leaving the 50th fighting in some disorder amongst ruined houses and garden walls. At this moment, the French, having been powerfully reinforced, advanced in an overwhelming charge, driving back the 50th into the village. In the retreat, Major Stanhope, a nephew of Mr. Pitt was killed, and Major Napier desperately wounded and made prisoner. In his recently pub lished work, " English Battles and Sie g es in the Peninsula," Sir William Napi er g i ves th e following compact account of the affair :—" Encompassed by enemies and denied quarter, he received five wounds, but he still fought and struggled for life until a French drummer, with a generous heat and indignation, forcibly rescued him from his bar barous assailants." We subjoin some details from another authority, by whom Major Napier is re presented as having been t a k en i n an a tt e mpt to carry a gun which had committ e d grea t s l a ughter, and was the identical on e f rom w hi c h Si r John Moore afterwards received hi s d eat h- woun d. This statement receives some co l our i ng f rom Napier, who states that Sir John was in the thick of the affair at Elvina, and was " dashed from his horse to the ground. A cannon shot from the rock battery had torn away all the flesh from his left breast and shoulder, and broken the ribs over a heart undaunted even by this terrible, thi s ghastly, mortal hurt." To return, however, to Major Napier. He is described as advancing over broken ground, armed with a musket, and calling on his men to follow him. Three of the four who obeyed him fell in the attempt, the fourth was wounded, and the rest hung back. Napier was in the act of helping the wounded man when he was struck by a musket-ball, which broke one of the shank bones. Throwing down his musket, be was hobbling along, leaning on his sword, when a cowardly Frenchman ran his bayonet into his back. The hurt, however, not being serious, Major Napier turned round and disarmed his as sailant, now supported by several of his comrades, whom the major gallantly faced until lie was knocked down senseless by the butt-end of a mus- WEEK DAYS.

In 1841 he received the appoint ment, and immediately embarked. At Bombay he soon attracted attention by the commencement of that career of military reform for which he has be come so celebrated, attacking also the alleged abuses of Lord Auckland's government, and re joicing in the advent of his lordship's successor, the Earl of Ellenborough. At the suggestion of the new Governor-General, Sir Charles drew up the plan of an Afghanistan campaign. It was on too extensive a scale to be adopted ; but he accom plished more practical matter, in breaking down the prejudices of the Sepoys in favour of the match lock over the musket, and arraigned the absurd custom of providing every English soldier upon the march with a chest, four of which formed the load of a camel. The 22d, having marched for Scinde with 1,300 chests and 300 camels, Sir Charles him self went by sea to the mouth of the Indus, fifty four deaths from cholera occurring on the passage among the troops, and arrived in a jaded condition at Kurrachee, where he suffered a severe injury from the explosion of a rocket. Nothing daunted, this daring captain set at once about his duties. BOAT TICKETS.—TweIve Months, 5.. OS. ; Six Months, 31. Os. ; Three Months, 2 , .

Scinde was in a very disordered condition, and British influence much weakened by the disasters of Cabul and Guznee, by the at tacks of the Hill Belooches, the defeat of Colonel England, and the isolated po sition of General Nott, besieged in Candahar. But Sir Charles wrote, " Danger from their warfare, I can see none. I can beat all the princes in Scinde." His first step, however, was the diplomatic one of waiting upon the Ameers at Hyderabad. After this he proceeded to Sukkur, and thence com menced his operations. He said he would reduce the Ameers to an honest policy or a terrible war, and he kept his word. These Ameers would ob serve no treaties. They made them and b ro k e them, and at last, Sir Charles Napier, seeing that war was inevitable, turned his attention to the or ganisation of the army, and speedily issued the subjoined very characteristic order : "Gentlemen as well as beggars, if they like, may ride to the devil when they get on horseback. But neither gentlemen nor beggars have a right to send other people to the devil, which will be the case if furious riding be allowed in the bazaar. The major-general has placed a detachment of horse at the disposal of Captain Pope, who will arrest offenders and punish them, as far as the regulations permit. And Captain Pope is not empowered to let any one escape punishment, because, when orders have been repeated and are not obeyed, it is thee to Cu. force them—without obedience an army becomes a mob, and a cantonment a bear garden ; the enforcement of obedience is like physic, not agreeable but necessary." Gradually arranging his plans for the campaign —settling his points of defence and selecting his points of attack, but still negotiating with the treacherons Ameers—Sir Charles at length brought matters to a head. He was fearfully over matched. At Meeanee there were stationed in The battle was long and obstinately maintained ; but, after much fierce and sanguinary fighting the desperate charges of infantry and cavalry, and the well-served artillery at length produced their effect —the Belooches giving way after about three hours of contest. Seventeen standards and fifteen guns were the trophies of the fight. The " Lion" re tired to the desert, and a few days after the battle the general was in the palace of the Ameers, and master of Scinde ; having in sixteen days, with 5,000 men, defeated more than 25,000 in battle, captured two great fortresses, Omercote and Hy drabad (which had been retaken during his ab sence), and marched two hundred miles under a Scindian sun. Lord Ellenborough now, upon his own authority, constituted Sir Charles governor of Scinde, and re sponsible only to him ; and the general continued his labour of entirely subjugating the Ameers, the hill tribes, and, in general, the whole warlike popu lation, in all of which he was entirely successful. The Belooches had received such fearful lessons at the hands of the British that they confessed that they would never face them in battle again. Mean time, the war of charges and counter-charges in respect to Sir Charles's Scindian policy, which was so long continued, was commencing, and Sir Charles took a manful part in pen-and-ink self-defence. Still, amid all this hard intellectual labour, he worked, if possible, still harder at the improvement of Scinde, and the elevation of its people. In fact, he re-organised the native society ; Scinde was di vided into three great collectorates, which trans mitted every month their accounts and the amount of taxes received to Hydrabad, the seat of govern ment. Powerful bodies of troops, with irregular horsemen as police, protected the collectorates. The next step was an amelioration of the adminis tration of the native law, which was effected by keeping the local magistrates, called Kardars, well in hand, and by paying them high salaries to make it their interest to comply with the new regula tions. Sir Charles also put down the suttees, and partially improved the feudal system, of holding land for warlike services—the patches called " jag heers," belonging to the State, and being let out by the chi e f s an d A meers . At Kurrachee the Go- entrenched fortifications 22,000 . men, while Sir vernor made great improvements,. and planned more. But in the midst of all these enterprising proceedings, the news—astounding to Sir Charles —arrived of the recal of his great friend and sup porter, Lord Ellenborough. The event, however, did not at all interfere with the Governor's active operations. He took Hydrabad next in hand, and greatly improved and strengthened it, and insti tuted a general survey. Proceeding to Sukkur, he might be said to have made the tour of the pro vince—a point at which Sir William Napier's nar rative of the " Administration of Scinde " pauses to recapitulate the Governor's achievements within two years. We present the list. It is certainly very marvellous : Charles had but 2,800 troops in all, Sepoys and English. Leaving, however, for the present, the Ameers' troops unmolested, he pushed through a wild country—nearly desert—to a mysterious for tification called Emaum Gliur, which no European had ever seen, and which he ultimately reached with fifty cavalry, two howitzers, and 300 Irish infantry. A hostile army—ten times the number of the British, hung upon his flank, but did not venture to attack him. The fortification was reached—a place with walls and towers perfectly impregnable, but deserted. Mahommed Khan, one of the Ameers who had retreated there, having fled from it with his army and his treasury, leaving all his stores and gunpowder behind. Sir Charles and his handful of men immediately set to work, mined the whole place, blew it up, and returned across the desert without having lost a single man. The Duke of Wellington alluded to this singular exploit in his speech in the House of Lords as follows : ket, and was about to be despatched outri g ht, dragged him out of the me/ec. Sir William N wl a ie v n ier th it e w b il e l n b e e volent drummer interfered and observed, mentions five wounds ; and in Hart's " Army List" the same number is stated, to wit, " leg broken by a musket shot, sabre cut on the head, in the back by a bayonet, ribs broken by a cannon shot, and several severe contusions." _________ Soult received his gallant prisoner with a kind ness which was not his general characteristic, pro cured for him the necessary medical assistan ce , an d ojrissiogenerositynto go to was upon his recovery, which was rapid—for it wou ld appear, from several circumstances in his lif e, t h at Sir Charles's flesh had a very fortunate fa c ilit y i n paronbd his p roperty ably about th e h E e n a g l i l n a n g d d o i n s m p i s a s r e o d l e h . i m T , h N i v s i t a h c t p e probably caused by the close of the camp a i gn , which was terminated by the battle of Corun na . The belief in the meantime was prevalent in Eng land that Major Napier had been killed, and he found a n d i s m f i n r i i e s t n e perio t ends ie d of forced inactivity which ensued, that M a j or Napier commenced that literary career whi c h h e di n to. mourning, I It was afterwards carried on during another compulsory cessation from military services. His brother Sir William, in his work " The Conquest of Scinde " mentions several of these" productions, amongst others, " The Colonies ;" Colonization, with re marks upon small farms and over population ;" " Military Law," a work st ate d to be eloquent and copious of anecdote ; " An E ssay on the State of Ireland," and " Notes upon De Vi gny ' s Lights and Shades of Military Life. ' It must have been at an after period, after his Greek government, that Sir Charles wrote the " Roads of Cephalonia," a natural subject for so great and enterprising a road-maker 2 • and we learn that upon one occa sion—the date is not mentioned—the stern war rior and engineer unbent from professional topics so far as to indite " ' Harold of England,' an his torical romance, not published, but worthy of being so, and showing the author's versatile powers of mind." ..

He had created and put in activity a permanent civil administration in all its branches, had conciliated the affections of the different races inhabiting Scinde, had seized all the points of an intricate foreign po licy, commenced a number of military and other well-consi dered public works, and planned still greater ones, not only suited to the exigencies of the moment, but having also a prospective utility of aim. In the execution of these things he had travelled on camels and on horseback, at the head of troops, more than two thousand miles, had " Sir Charles Napier's march upon Emaum Ghur is one of the most curious military feats which I have ever known to be performed, or have ever perused an account of in my life. He moved his troops through the desert against hostile forces; he had his guns transported under circumstances of extreme difficulty, and in a manner the most extraordinary, and he cut off a retreat of the enemy which rendered it impossible for them ever to regain their positions." Sir Charles now turned his attention to Meeanee and the army of Belooches, organised by the Ameers. The risk of encountering them seemed fearful. The Belooches, though barbarians, fight well, and preserve a species of discipline. Sir Charles hoped that with his 2,600 men he could attack and defeat a body of 16,000 Belooches before the other divisions came up. He was disappointed, for the night before the attack an army of 20,000 Belooches arrived, and Sir Charles found his 1,800 infantry and 800 cavalry drawn up opposite a host of 25,000 infantry, and 10,000 irregular horsemen. Yet he did not change his plan, although the Be looches were strongly posted in the bed and on the bank of a dried up river. Perceiving that he could not turn the flank of the foe, the General gave the daring order for an attack in front. His little army had been materially reduced by Colonel Outram's escort, and a strong baggage guard de tached ; but full of enthusiasm and confident of victory, 1,600 Englishmen and Sepoys, including officers, advanced to the attack, the Belooches being hidden behind their fortifications. Suddenly Sir Charles perceived a wall with only one opening, not very wide, and behind it swarmed the Beloo ches, and the General saw in an instant that they intended to rush out through the opening. De taching the grenadier company of the 22d, he told their Captain, Tew, that he was to block that opening—to die in it if it were necessary. And the gallant captain did die ; but the opening was blocked, and the action of 6,000 men was paralysed by the skilful disposition of eighty. The details of the fearful battle which followed are too well known to require minute recapitulation. Suffice it to say that the vast multitude of Belooches, after a first fire, rushed upon the 22d with a terrific cry, waving their swords and covering themselves with their shields. But, with shouts as loud and arms as strong, the gallant 22d met them with, says Sir W. Napier, " that queen of weapons the musket, and sent their foremost masses rolling back in blood." During this struggle, the English Sappers fought gallantly, protecting the artillery, which, having gained the flank, swept diagonally with grape the crowded masses of the Belooches, who " gave their breasts to the shot, and leaping at the _ guns were blown away by twenties at a time," written, received, studied, and decided on between four and five thousand official dispatches and reports—many very elaborate—besides his private correspondence, which was extensive, because he never failed to answer all persons who addressed him, however humble or how ever unreasonable. He had besides read, not hastily, ________ But Sir Charles, and en in suspense of action on t we find findhunbascokagaieird again in the Penin sula, and, as a volunteer, fighting desperately at the desperate fight at Coa, wher e h e h a d t wo horses shot under him—but escaped unhurt. At Busaco, one of the hottest -fought battles of the war e he was not so fortunate, being shot in the face, having his jaw broken and his eye injured. Good medical assistance not appearing to be at hand, Sir Charles actually rode to Lisbon, a distance of more than a hundred miles, and had the ball extracted from where it had worked itself to, behind his ear. Still not satisfied with fighting— but attentively, all the diaries of the collectors and sub collectors, and had most anxiously considered the evi- deuce in all capital trials. And these immense labours were superadded to the usual duties imposed by the command of a large army belonging to different Govern ments, namely, of England, Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras. They were sustained without abatement under severe attacks of illness, at the age of sixty-three, by a man covered with wounds, and in a climate where the mercury rises to 132 deg. in artificially-cooled tents. They were sustained almost amidst every mortification, ever y virulence of abuse, every form of intrigue which disappointed cupidity could suggest to low-minded men, sure of support from power, to him ungrateful, but to their baseness indulgent and rewarding. We must pass over encounters with the hill rob bers and brigand Belooches, and the formation of a baggage camel corps—the men in uniform, and armed and disciplined like regular soldiers. Mean time a Sikh war was impending, and, as a pre cautionary measure, Sir Charles got together a Scindian and Bombay army of 15,000 men. While this force was being collected, the battle of Fe rozhur was fought, and Sir Charles's plans for a great invasion of the Sutlej were thrown over by his army being ordered to Bhawalpoor by the new Governor-General, while the battle of Sobraon, putting an end to the war, put an end to all Sir Charles's future schemes of conquest. He found, however, quite enough to do in the paper warfare in which he was unavoidably engaged. He addressed manifestoes to the East India Company and to the Board of Control, giving descriptions of Scinde before and after he had conquered and, to some degree, civilised it. Unwilling, however, to leave Scinde without an attempt at rendering its prosperity permanent, he managed, by means of the strong influence which he now possessed over the minds of the population, to change the feudal system of landholding into a landlord and tenant system, and then published one of his last manifes toes, which concludes as follows : " 'My motives for this step,' he said, 'are that the host of poor ryots, hitherto slaves, not only to the Ameers but the jagheerdars, will be enfranchised, and enabled to live in comfort if industrious ; and I know that the nobles can never be good or contented subjects unless we give them public employment, and honour them. When civilisation advances they will, under this system, find themselves rich, and they will embark in mercantile pursuits and agricultural improvements, be' ---- I -- -•••----"-------77----at,----""*.....--- ..- --. . /Z 9 •-m, . .. .- . .-.,-. . k , `.",.'.- - • 41 0 111-- // • \ .it: '4 • V . . -., , ' \ ' `,..P ' ' d'A.

We have now put them down as military chieftains, and we can keep them down because of their semi-barbarism ; but hereafter we should find it very difficult to deal with their more civilised sons, if they continued to hold such immense tracts of land, which advancing civilisation will change from wastes to fruit byatotapeehneindg th a fruit ful posses s i ons .

I le was rece i ve d i n h i s the Government. te a race This of is all I native land with similar honours, though of a more civil character. Thanks had already been vaed to him by both Houses of Parliament for each of his great victories, and his arrival was signalised by a series of magnificent festivals, at which the strange, yet noble and striking, presence of the warrior was a theme of universal interest and a subject of uni versal observation. For some time after his return home Sir Charles Napier lived in semi -retirement, until the disasters of the last Sikh war raised a perfect panic in Eng land, am! all eyes turned to the hero of Scinde as the deliverer of our Indian empire. Prompt to obey a call of duty, the veteran General started in March, 1849, but found, on hiegsrival at Bombay, that the Sikhs had been finay routed, and that his work had been performed for him. There was now no enemy to contend with, and no principality to administer ; so Slr Charles set to work at his favourite occupation of military reformation, which, to judge by his first general order, issued after a review at Lahore, was very decidedly required. The following is the document " Head-quarters, Camp, Lahore, Dec. 15, 1849. "At the late review of the troops on the plain of Meean Meer, the following egregious deficiencies were evident to 1. That some commanders of regiments were unable to bring their regiments properly into the general line. "2, One commanding officer of a regiment attempted to wheel his whole regiment as he would a company. "3. Several officers commanding companies were seen disordering their companies, by attempting to dress them from the wrong flank. " 4s When the line was ordered to be formed on the left col umn , some com m a nders deployed t oo soon, and ordered their lines (thus improperly formed) to doubl quick,' in or d er t o r ega i n th e i r p os iti on . Thi s was a ll bad ; b u t i t was worse to see t h e reg i ments, on rece i v i ng the word to double quick,' at once charge with loud shouts —no such order to charge having been given by any one, nor the word prepare to charge ;' nor did any thing occur to give a pretext for such a disgraceful scene, exhibiting both want of drill and want of dis cipline ! 5. Bad as this was, it was not the worst. When these regiments chose to charge,' the Commander-in- Chief, to hi s astonishment, beheld the men discharging their firelocks straight up in the air ; and he saw some men of the rear rank actually firing off their muskets to the rear, over their shoulders, as their bearers (he will not call them soldiers) were running to the front ! He feels assured that no such scene could have occurred in any other regiment in the army ; if ever such again hap pens, he will expose the c ommanding-office r of any such regiment that so disgraces itself, in public orders, to the whole Indian army. In the course of his service he never before witnessed such a scene. No commander could go into action with a regiment capable of such conduct, without feeling certain that it would behave ill. The Commander-in-Chief will, therefore, hold command. ing officers responsible (for they alone are to blame) that any soldier who shouts, or charges, or fires, without orders, be instantly seized, tried at once by a drum head court-martial, and the sentence executed on the spot. Courts-martial which try such dangerous of fenders will, the Commander-in-Chief has no doubt, up hold military discipline and military honour against outrageous and criminal disorder. This order may be deemed severe—the Commander-in-Chief means it to be so, for he will not pass over without animadversion faults which, if tolerated, would, in the event of war, produce certain defeat to this army. The reviews which the Commander-in-Chief makes of the troops are not to be taken as so many chips in porridge.' They are made for the purpose of ascertaining what officers are fit to command battalions ; and there being no want of such in the Indian army, he will feel it to be his bounden duty to remove those who are not ; and whenever he finds a regiment fire," shout,' or charge,' without orders from its commander, he will, after this warning, remove the latter from his command. " The Sepoy is both a brave and an obedient soldier ; and whenever he behaves ill, it is in a great measure the fault of his commanding officer. " The drill and discipline of all armies rest mainly with the commanders of regiments and of companies. They are in immediate contact with the officers, non commissioned officers, and private soldiers • and to them general officers must look for that 'perfect obedience without which any army is an armed mob, dangerous to its friends, and contemptible to its enemies. "The Commander-in-Chief does not hereby call on commanding officers to torment those under their orders by long and harassing drilling ; but he does call upon them to instruct their officers and to instruct themselves, and also their supernumerary ranks, that they are to seize any man in their front who dares to shout, or talk, or fire, or run, without orders. General officers com manding divisions and brigades in this army are called upon to see that commanders of regiments (la their duty on those points. "The Commander-in-Chief does not apply this order to all commanders ; he well knows that there are abun dant first-rate soldiers and first-rate regiments in the In dian army, but he applies it to those whose regiments are in bad order. " C. J. NAPIER, General, Commander-in-Chief." There can be no doubt that, if Sir Charles Na pier was the sternest reformer, he was also the best friend whom the army—officers and privates —ever had. During his last two years in India, the abuses which he corrected, and the excesses which he re strained, were perfectly numberless. In this good work Sir Charles was no respecter of persons, and treated majors and colonels precisely as he did cor porals and sergeants. The expensive habits of the mess he resolutely put an end to in every regiment under his control, and for a time, it is to be sup posed, he suppressed gambling. Sir Charles's own manner of living was simple to severity. He was quite content to subsist - upon th- ordinary allow ance of a soldier, and, , as lie actually practised what he preached, his injunctions came with double weight. Multiplicit: of officers' baggige was his abhorrence ; and our readers will remember the indignant, and no less amusing than indignant, diatribe which he fulminated against trunks, port manteaus, carpet bags, and all such abominations, contending that no officer on service has need of any luggage except a small knapsack, with a couple of shirts, as many socks, a second pair of shoes, some soap, and a tooth-brush. These reforms pro duced the best effect, and we only hope that they may be still in fore - 3. After two years' residence in India Sir Charles Napier bade a final adieu to the East, and returned for the last time to Eng land, where he continued to reside in qui!t seclu istos th n e , t i o fmo n lle l y owl n vee o dswa to en t h grave I ra s i a appearing nbsi_ sto da i Ila n public. s4i a lCathedrallus illustrious ri ouThe,s . commaider.

D an e g a e r o e logist, obtained gold readily, by the common washing process with the dish, at .the head of Borrowdale, and also near Buttermere; 4t the former place the gold was rather water-worn, and at the latter it assumed an angular character, and was found in the ferruginous earth lying on the surface of the clay and green stone slates. The lump of gold mentioned in our last, found by Mr. Calvert near Buttermere, presents a very beau tiful and rich appearance, and seems to encircle small particles of silicia, and generally to be imbedded in, or tinged by, the earthy oxide of iron. The weight of the entire piece was 57 ounces, and is valued by Mr. Cal vert at 2211. In the gossan, at a mine near High Ireby, Mr. Calvert detected small particles of gold, but the softer gossans appeared to contain none. Near Bas senthwaite Lake, at a short distance from Peel Wyke, Mr. Calvert obtained a very beautiful but small sample of gold, in the reddish earth resting on the clay slates of that locality. He is of opinion that gold is generally diffused on the clay slates, and locally on the green stone slates, throughout Cumberland ; but how far they will pay, remains to be proved by deep workings in the beds of rivers, where sufficient debris, or alluvial matter, h as accumulated. The result of a search through the Skid. daw group was fruitless. Mr. Calvert is of opinion that the mineral resources of Cumberland are not nearly fully developed, as he has seen indications of rich copper and lead lodes in maiden ground. We understand that he intends to pursue his researches in Lanarkshire, where he fully expects to find that the similarity of the geolo gical conditions with Australia will make the pursuit of the precious metal equally profitable.—Carlisle Patriot.

The generally admitted want of such an article is now about to be met by the French Company, who had a contract for supplying the refreshment rooms of the Great Exhibition.

I/ AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile Irregularities and excesses, which have pro !need more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist cute secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various torms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruittlili Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con-equenc es may be avoided, and shove all, that there is scarcely any dettree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting thi• department of practice, he has been amply re, arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, With their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

BEDIOD.D-BQUAILL LONDON PRINCE OF WALES YACHT CLUB. The very interesting match amongst yachts of this club, confined, with the exception of a pilot, to crews consisting entirely of amateurs, was sailed yesterday, and created very considerable sport. The following had been entered : Yachts. Tons. Owners. Gnat ~... Messrs. Hewitt. Blue-eyed Maid Julia Valentine Irresistible Britannia Idas Idea 4 7 8 7 7 6 6 Tuckwell. Hutchinson. B. Wallis. Gardner. Legg. Knibbs. Ceely. The distance sailed was from Blackwall to Gravesend and back, for three very excellent prizes. The first, a silver cup, generously presented by Mr. Turner, the treasurer of the club ; the second, a silver telescope, the gift of Mr. Messer ; and the third, a silver snuff box, the gift of Mr. Berncastle, the commodore. There was a slight breeze from south-west, which, however, as flood approached, freshened, and there was some very capital sailing. The whole of the yachts hay ing been inspected at their stations by Mr. Berncastle and Mr. Gardner, the active hon. secretary, the start took place at 11h. 53m. The alacrity displayed by the whole of the crews was most creditable to them as ama teurs. As soon as they were all in trim and fairly away the Gnat took the lead, and was closely followed by the Valentine and Blue-eyed Maid. On approaching Erith the Idea, a very pretty handled little thing, with a sloop rig, went into the first place, and kept all the way down to Gravesend, when they rounded in the follow ing order H. M. S. Idea 2 32 20 Gnat 2 34 Julia 2 39 40 Valentine 2 39 50 Britannia . • And the others close up. Immediately upon rounding the Valentine fouled the Julia, by luffing to windward of her, and the owner of the Julia exhibited the protest signal, the Britannia at the same moment passing into the third place. The Valentine, however, soon went to windward of the whole, and maintained it. The Idea, after two or three boards to windward, gave place to the Gnat, a beautiful little lugger, which, while looking up well for the second place, carried away her foremast, near Greenhithe, to the very great regret of the specta- After some very capital sailing they came in ,ors. ,hus Valentine Britannia Julia Blue-eyed Maid M. s. 18 22 30 32 37 32 46 30 Should the Valentine become disqualified, the three others will receive the prizes in the order in which they stand. The matter at present stands adjourned for the consideration of the sailing committee. THE SMYTH FORGERY.—Fresh traces are daily dis covered of the means used by the impostor Provis in his recent attempt to claim the title and estates of the Smyth baronetcy. In the course of the trial a very antique Bible, it will be recollected, was produced, in which were the alleged certificates of his mother's marriage, and of his own baptism. It has now been discovered that the Bible was purchased by the impostor ht a stall in London for 155., and at the time it was sold to him it had in it the ancient signature so much relied upon, " John S. Vandenburg." Out of this circumstance the story of the Vandenburgh family was d oubtless woven, the title of "Count" being prefixed by the pretended " Sir Richard" to the name, to give it a greater importance, and to favour the probabilities of the alliance. The power of the truth will, however, we understand, turn even this circumstance to the disadvantage of the pri soner ; as a son of Mr. Vandenburgh has been discov ered, who can speak to the handwriting of his father, whose name was "John Simon," and not "John Samuel," the name fixed on by the impostor to bear out the initial signature. When Field, the London in spector, was conveying his prisoner to gaol, he hap pened to say, alluding to the romantic incidents of the trial, that it would make a first-class novel. " Sir Richard" sharply replied, " You need not trouble—l shall write that myself ;" and accordingly the prisoner is now employing his leisure time in writing his life and adventures. [ADVERTISEMENT.]-11olloway's Pills, for the cure of debility, bile, and liver and stomach complaints.—This inappreciable medicine is so well known throughout every part of the civilised world, and the cures that are daily performed by its use are so wonderful that it now stands pre-eminent above all other remedies, more par ticularly for the cure of bilious and liver complaints, dis orders of the stomach, dropsy, and debilitated constitu tions. In these diseases the beneficial effects of this admirable remedy are so permanent that the whole system is renovated, the organs of di gest i on strength ened, and a free respiration promoted; therefore sufferers should have recourse to it to ensure a saf e an d cer t a i n Icure.
