ON 3 r HYSICAL DISQUALIFICATIONS, GENERATIVE INC .kPACITY, AND IMPEDIMENTS TO MARRIAGE. New and improved Edition, enlarged to 196 pages, illustrated by 100 Anato rr teal Coloured Engravings on Steel, just published, price, The Saturday Review has received the following graphic narrative from an officer in the Artillery, attached to the force under General Havelock. It gives a clear and continuous description of the pro ceedings of that gallant commander from the com mencement of his brilliant campaign on the Ganges : " Oude 'side of the Ganges, 26th July. " Whet with bard marching; hard fighting, and hard work my time has of late been fully occupied.; but now that a spare day happily supervenes—while the remainder of the force are effecting the crossing of the Ganges—l proceed to give you au account iof the operations of Havelock's column, ordered to the relief of Cawnpore, from the commencement of the march up to the present time. " This body of troops, consisting of a portion of her Majesty's 78th Highlanders and 64th, part of 'tlge Ist Madras Fusiliers, a company of Royal Ar :tillery from Ceylon,. a few volunteer horse (mostly ;officers of the broken Sepoy regiment), a party of ;about 80 of the 13th Irregular Horse, and 150 Sikhs—in all, about 1,100 men, of whom 800 were English, the whole under the command of Briga dier-General Havelock—marched from Allahabad on the evening of the 7th July, to join an advanced force of 700 men, partly Europeans, partly Sikhs, under command of Major Renaud, Ist Madras Fusi liers, who had proceeded on in front some 40 Miles: "The rains had fairly set in for some time 'past, and an incessant down-pour on the two preceding days had utterly soaked tents and baggage. It cleared up a little on the morning of the 7th • but as the long column began to mo v e off in the afternoon, down came therein again. Our route for the first two miles lay through the large stud densely - populous native city of Allahabad. The inhabitants lined the streets and swarmed on to the howetope in gloomy silent crowds, to behold the first really offensive demonstration of their Fe ringhee masters since the commencement of the outbreak. Most of the Hindoos appeared to be either indifferent or apprehensive ; but wherever a Mahomedan was seen, there was a scowl on his brow and a curse in his heart. That night we camped in a snipe swamp, with the rain still pour ing down on us. • " Next day the aspect of affairs changed for the better. The rain ceased—the sun tame out and dried our draggled feathers—the Grand Trunk Road, along which our route lay, was in splendid order, and the force moved briskly on through a beautiful, flat, fertile, well-wooded country, like the Weald of Kent without the hedges. - Everywhere along the - road were traces of the most wanton destruction. All the little police-stations were naci unroofed, the telegraph posts cut down, the mile stones broken, the staging - bungalows gutted and burnt—every village was deserted and de sti oyed. The contrast between this state of things and what it was two years ago, when I passed down this way, and beheld the great road thronged With traffic, and each petty hamlet swarming with lite and activity, was striking in the extreme. " After proceeding by regular marches for three days, intelligence reached the general which deter mined him to push . on by forced marches, and over take Major Renaud. Accordingly, the column pressed forward along the same noble 'road and through the same description of country, passing here and there evidences of our people's handiwork in the shape of men hung by fours and fives on the trees by the roadside, till the morning of the 12th the two .forces joined on the line of march and drew up on their encamping ground, a fine open plain, about four miles distant from the city of Futtey pore. We were ordered to remain in position, resting on our arms, until a pirty of the Volunteer. Horse, sent on 2 miles ahead to reconnoitre, should have re turned. The main body of the force had marched 24 miles that morning, and the general hope was for breakfast rather than a fight. Men and officers had lighted their pipes, and a cluster of us were assisting at the manufacture of a brew of tea; when one, who had been employing himself with his field-gla ,, s, drew - the attention of his neighbours to our small party of volunteer horse, who were re turning be'ore their time. A moment after, a large body of cavalry in white emerged from the distant trees on the edge of the plain, in full pur suit. Instantly the bugle sounded, the ranks fell in, and we stood all ready. " Meanwhile a large body of infantry followed the cavalry, and now debouched on the plain, ac companied by guns, which moved forward and opened fire at long range on the small handful of English horsemen riding quietly down the road towards us. " And now the English force got the word to advance. Guus_and skirmishers were ordered to the front—the artillery pushed on in line with the Enfield rifles—and soon came into action with the. enemy's guns. The first three were taken after a short, sharp interchange of shots, wherein the precision and rapidity of the English fire at once established its superiority. The enemy .fled from their guns, and retreated to a second battery placed on the road in the rear. Here they again made a stand. Meantime the skirmishers on both sides were' hotly engaged, and the enemy's cavalry were _moving round, trying to outflank the line, so that the guns had to halt several times during'their ad vance, and opened fire on the right and left to keep them in check. It was hard work, for the ground the artillery had to traverse consisted almost en. tirely of irrigated fields, in their softest and mud diest state, so that the gun - wh eels sunk deep, and it was all the tired bullocks c ould do, assisted by the efforts of the gunners at the wheels, to get' the guns along. At length, however the English artil lery c tine into action again, with the enemy's gui and infantry in front. There were a large number of them in rear of the principal battery, couspicuous amongst whom movedan elephant and its rider, who directed their movements. A capital shot from Capt. Maude's battery knocked over the elephant, and this seemed to be the signal for another retrograde move ment on the part of the enemy, who abau doned their guns and retreated. We followed, and so the running fight was kept up till the town of Futteypore came in sight. Here the enemy again made a stand amongst the houses and gardens, but were speedily driven out by our men, who pressed forward, eager for vengeance. " At the entrance of the main street of Puttees pore; the road was blocked up by 'a barricade of carts and baggage waggons. It was so close and firm and placed in such an advantageous position, that it was supposed to be a defence run up by the foe, and that they meant to make a stand ; but by the time the artillery had thrown in a few shrapnel, and the skirmishers had worked ronnd to the flanks, it was discovered that the supposed barricade was nothing more than an inextricable heap of the enemy's baggage, which had got jammed up into such a mass of confusion between the houses on either side the street, that they were Obliged to abandon it. In the midst of the ruck were two new 6-poun ders, with limbers and ammunition complete, be sides large stores of gun and musket ammunition ; and a little beyond, two tumbrils of treasure were found, one of which fell into the hands of those astute plunderers the Sikhs, and was no more seen. " This was a grand chance for 'loot, and all hands, Europeans and natives, were soon at work investigating the contents of the baggage waggons. Ladies' dresses, and worsted work, and other tokens of our unhappy lost countrywomen, constantly came to light amongst the spoils, and made the men still wilder for vengeance. " It took some little time before the baggage carts could be sufficiently cleared off to either side for the artillery to get through. At length this was accom plished, and the guns passing onward fired their last shot at the enemy's infantry, who were now in full flight about a mile on the other side of the town. " During the action, the mutineer cavalry had all the time been hanging on our flanks, trying to g et . round to the re ar and cut into the baggage tram ; but being eve r y w h ere met and repulsed, th e y at length drew off round to the right of the city, where the Ist Fusiliers, accompanied by the Irre gulars, had a most fatiguing trudge after them through the swamps. At one time they got so close to a party that the Irregulars were ordered to charge. The horsemen went forward, then turned, and came back at a gallop, with the enemy's cavalry hard after them, leaving their native commandant, the only man amongst them who was known to be really true to the English, dead on the ground. It was evident the Irregulars would not act against midday, and the sun their ,iT r i n re ut t i i n m e e er ra w c a o s m no d w es. past for the last three hours had been striking down with frightful intensity. Many had been struck down by sun-stroke during the heat of the action ; and now that the excitemcntof the fight had passed away, the whole force was utterly exhausted with heat and fatigue—men and officers indiscriminately threw themselves down wherever a morsel of shade was to be found, and went off into a deep sleep. About 3 p.m. the tents and baggage came up. I don't think many were pitched that day ; but many a soldier blessed the considerate foresight of the commissariat officer, w/to had sent on camels lightly laden with biscuit and rum, so that each man bad a. biscuit and a dram served out to him forthwith. " Next day the forces halted to secure and bring in the captured guns, eleven in number, and to de stroy all the ammunition that could not be carried on. A good. mane Government gun bullocks were also brought in during the course of the day • and some Sepoys, caught lurking in the town and stir-, rounding villages, wore incontinently hung. " The activity displayed by the enemy's horse msn in Vie preceding fr action was very remarkable. They moved round our force, menacing us at dif ferent points, with extraordinary rapidity ; and in so far as manoeuvring in the field went, their cavalry was perfect. Now, I w:sh to draw par ticular attention to this fact—tecause these very men were our own regular troopers, mounted on our own regular cavalry horses, but armed and equipped after their owr, instead of the regu lar cavalry fa-hion. The regular Bengal Cavalry, equipped an I overloaded with their ac con rements, have tteveabeen of any particular use in the army hitherto ; but this shows what they might be made under a better system. "On the 14th the force marched again. There were many evidences, as we moved forward, of the precipitancy with which the rebels had fled—chest: of cartridges were lett by the side of the road, tents were left .tending in their camp, and portions of tents were scattered all along the route. Our com pany made . a very foit ensto capture of 40 barrels of porter in a village on tt.e road, which proved a most acceptable supply to oor men. This day, when we went into camp, the opportunity was taken a' quietly dismounting and disarming the Irregulars, whose further fidelity teemed extremely dubious. Though the loss of theirservioesCwas a most serious inconvenience at such a juncture, yet it was felt to be best to get rid of a body of men whom nobody trusted, and who, justly or unjustly, were regarded with an evil eye by all. " On the following day we started at dawn, with the knowledge that the enemy had again collected in force, and had euttenched themselves on the road ahead of us. After proceeding about 5 miles, we at length came in sight of the rebels in position at a village called Ooug. . Directly we came within range of their guns they opened fire: The artillery and skirmishers ou our side moved out to the front as before, with the main body of troops following. The mutineers came out from the village and gar den enclosures towards us in perfect skirniishing order, and bath sides were soon hotly engaged. After a smart skirmish our guns silenced the enemy's ar tillery, and our men began to gain ground, driving the mutineers back upon the village. At this junc ture their cavalry came out from behind the en closures, and moved for ward through the trees, me our right, and pressing down unpleasantly close ;lout the guns were immediately turned onthem and it was only after some well thrown shrapnel had emptied a score or more of saddles, that they - could be made to keep their distaac e Failing in this atcetnpt, they rode away to our rear, and, had it not been for the cool gallantry of the hos pital sergeant of the 78th, would have cut "up our baggage ; but he collecting all the invalids and stragglers in the rear formed a small rallying square of about a hundred men, and received them with such a fire of musketry that they rode off discom fited, leaving many dead behind them. " Meantime the fight went on through the vil lage. Ile rebels fought fiercely, even' after their grins were taken, and it was soma little time before our men could clear them out ; but this was at length effected—tLo artillery passed through, and the whole force halted to bte sthe and drink water on the other side. But our work was only half done as yet—there was another entrenchment with two heavy guns still to be taken. They were placed in a position which swept the road for a mile, just on the other side of the Pandoo Nud&e, a large difficult stream spanned by a bridge of three arches, which, if bro ken down—and we knew it was mined—would seriously have checked our progress. Nothing could save it but pressiug the enemy hard, so on we went again. The heat was, as usual, frightful, but the men bore up, having the exci , ement of battle on them. After proceeding another two miles just as the head of the column wound out from amongst the mango groves, at a turn where the road ran straigLt across the plain—two puffs of white smoke burst from a low ridge in our front, followed by the report of two heavy guns, and. a couple of 24- pound shot, beautifully thrown, crashed right into us, wounding men and gun-bullocks. Another and another followed in rapid succession ; the fire was heavy and most accurate. " Our light field-pieces were no march for the enemy at this game of long bullets, so the order was given for the artillery to advance and engage when within practicable Tenge. The guns went steadily down the road, under a continuous fire of round shot-, varied, as we draw nearer, by shrapnel , ti ll a fair range was gained—thou the guns ra p idl y un limbered and ()panel fire. The effect was marvel lone. Our heavy opponents ceased firin g immedi ately. We could no t understand this at the time, but discovered when we went up to the entrench ment, that our shrapnel bullets had smashed their sponge-staffs almost at the first fire, so that they could no lon ger l o ad their guns. Their skir wishers were me an ti me giving way before ours, and our guns now turned on their cavalry, who were massed in the front. The Enfield riflemen, too, were creeping forward ; and coon the whole rebel force turned right about, and went off. It was just as well we did press forward that day ; for, as we cro Bel the bridge, we found that they had tried to blow it up, but failed for want of time—the explo sion had only thrown down the parapet walls, leav ing the arch sound. " It was universally remarked how much closer and fiercer the mutineers fought that day. If they had only been under a competent leader, it would have been a much more serious affair, for the infe rior • details of their movements —such as depend upon the mechanical training of the soldiers—were perfect ; but the master millet was wanting. Hence the sepoya, always came into action very well, but, as the battle went on, got bo leered, and made a mess of it. . Our want of cavalry in these actions was most severely felt—a couple of squadrons even would have been of most incalculable use. " The tired troops camped -down that day on the spot where our l ast gun was fired, and got what rest th y could, haviu g taken five guns. Late that night a rumour spread t h roug h c imp that a still heavier fight awaited us on themorrow, and during the next morning's march • this iroelltgence was confirmed. The whole of the mutineer regiments at Cawnpore —about 4,000 infantry and 500 horse—bad come down with the B.theor I.;ajah, otherwise called the Nana Sahib, to Me It us, and had taken up a posi tion at the fork o f the G r and Trunk Road, about four miles from Cawnpore, where one read branches in o cantonments, and the other goes straight on to Delhi. Here they had strongly entrenched them selvee with heavy guns placed so as to command the road, and sweep it with a flanking fire. " We were then 22 miles off, which determined our general to march on 14 miles that morning, and attack in the afternoon: Accordingly, the force bivouackedunder the treee, cooked food and ate, and at 1.30 p.m. were again on the march, proceeding to .the attack ; for the position of the enemy's forces and guns being known, it was determined to make a detour, and attack them in flank, which required time. This I believe to have b , en one of the most severe marches ever made in -India. In the full midday heat of the worst season in the year did our troops start, each man fully armed and accoutred, with his 60 rounds of ball ammunition on him. The sun struck down with frightful force. At every Asp a man reeled out of the ranks, and threw himself fainting by the side of the road—the calls for water were incessant all along the line. At length came the point for the flank movement, and the column turned off into the fields. It had not proceeded half a mile before the enemy caught sight of us, and opened a fierce, well directed fire frpm their heavy guns, by which the 78th and .64th suffered some loss. Through this storm of round shot and shrapnel the troops quietly pioceeded, till the turning point of the flank march was gained, and then, forming up in line, with artillery in the inter vals, advanced steadily down upon the enemy's position. The artillery first moved forward and engaged the heavy gum—which were pelting into us all this time—and the remainder of the troops, with the exception of the skirmishers, who were hotly engaged on our flanks, lay down. " After a ftw rounds at different ranges, it was found that lltdn theed by eil silence guns in the village were so v and houses that our artil - Ie ry i s hoee r a fire as ever , and their infantry too , from behind N o e u l c aot e v a y th e ir cover, kept up a constant fire. Hereupon th e enemy's They kept up as hot 78th were ordered to advance and take the village. They rose, fired one rolling volleyas they advanced, arid then moved forward with sloped arms and measured tread, like a wall—the rear rank locked up as if on parade—until within 100 yards or so of the village, when the word was given to charge. Then they all burst forward, like an eager pack of hounds racing in to the kill, and in an instant they were over the mound and into the village. There was not a shot fired or a :lout uttered, for the men wore very fierce, and the slaughter was propor- • tionate. I've just got three 'em out of ono house, sir,' said a 78th man, with a grin, to m e as I met him at a turn of the - village. " The English force were now fairly within the enemy's lines, and they Went forward, taking guu after gun, and driving everything before them ; but meantime, the enemy's cavalry and a portion of their infantry hid moved round, and part of our artillery had to turn round and hold them in check. At one time, indeed, • our. stnailehandful of troops were completely surrounded. The inutineers fought fiercely and well, and if there had only been ahead to guile them, we most have fought hard to, save even our bare ives •, but unity of purpose prevailed over multitudes: One by one their posit - ons we o carried, and the final advance of the 61th, when they charged and took a heavy gun that had up to that time been playing on our troops with murder-. ous effect, finally settled the business. After, that there was no more regular opposition, and, just as night set in, the English force formed up and bivou acked on the plain, just beyond the grand' parade ground of Cawnpore. " This was a hard fight. So many fell' out on the road, that there could not be shore than 1,000 men of all sorts in action on our side, opposed to at least 5,000 of the enemy: s In the former actions our artillery and skirmishers' did most of the work, hut here the brunt ofthelaattlefellon the infantry. The Sikhs are reported to haire fought like devils The fact of their mutineerbrethren's throats having been cut by the Bengal - sepoys had come to their knowledge, and rendered them even more savage than the English soldiery, if that were possible, against the mutineers." Here, More than ever; was our want of cavalry felt ; for the enemy's horse got off-comparatively ae.atheleas, besides ereeping, round to our rear - and cutting up our wounded men. They made a dash at a small hand.l'ul of our skirmishers—about a dozen of the Fusiliers—who, with their officer, Seton, had got separated from the rest. Seton called his men round him, and formed square'; the csvalry dathel at them,- but swerved off from a coOl, steady fire, every bullet of which brought dirsen a man,- and _the little party rejoined their regiment unhurt. The only guns the enemy carried away were two Horse Artillery guns, which we could not catch—the remainder, to the number of eight, all heavy guns, remained with us. "There was supper that night, and n- bed but the wet ground, but no man wanted litter to make him sleep after such a day's work. In the middle of the night there was an alarm, and the tired force had to start up and stand to their arms again. " I cannot omit to mention here an instance of cool courage on the part of a man of the 64th, which came to my knowledge -after the action was over. Early in the fight he had his leg shattered by a round shot; and as he lay on the ground the horse men came down to cut him up. laying on his back he shot the first—they drew back—he load-d again and shot a second—they began to move, he loaded again and shot a third—whereupon the troopers went off and left the wounded man in his glory. This man's leg was amputated next morning, and he is now rapidly recovering. " Next morning, soon after daybre alc, while wait ing for the baggage to come up preparatory to en camping, as we lay idly looking towards the belt of trees and houses acrcos the parade ground, all at once a huge dense white pillar of smoke rose in the air, unfolding volume upon volume, moune ing still upwards in the sky, like the Genie of Arab story— fol'owed presently-by a report and concussion of the air, as when a large mortar is fired: .The enemy had blown up the grand magazine and arsenal, feur miles and a half distant. " And now, alas ! came intelligence which turned the joy of our victory into mourning. We learnt on the march up that about 100 of our women and children were still alive at Cawnpore. The thought of releasing them from their cru e l bondage had been a matter of happy speculation throughout the camp. We now learnt from people who came in th it the Nana Sahib had caused every slut of them to be murdered in cold' blood the day before, when he found the fight going against him. " Cawnpore, formerly the largest, handsomest, and wealthiest station in the north-west, was now one desolate wilderness of roofless gutted houses. Traces of the most wanten devastation met the eye at every step—every door and gate was pulled off i s hinges. Some officers of the force visited the place wherein the fearful tragedy of the day had been enacted. It was a native house of the bettermost kind, having rooms ou either side, round an inclosed inner couriya-d. where these unfortunate ladies and soldiers' wives, and their children, had been confined ; and it was told to me as an actual and literal fact, that t'le floor of the inner room was two inches deep in blood all over—it came over men's shoes as they steppe". Tresses of women's hair, and children's shoes, and articles of female went-, broad hats and bontets, books, and such like things, lay so st'erel all about the rooms. There were the marks of bullets and sword-airs on the walls—not high up, as if men had fought, but low down, and about • theecor ners, where the poor crouching creatures had been cut to pieces. The bodies of the victims had been thrown indiscriminately down a well just behind the house, land were there to be seen- a mangled heap, with an arm or leg protruding -here and there. If the Black Hole of Calcutta brought cloven such retribution on its perpetrator, what vengeance can be meted out for this ? "That same evening, intelligence came in that the Nana Sahib had destroyed himself - in despair (ho is still alive and in Oude), that his place Bithoor was evacuated,. and that the. Cawnpore insurgents had disperSei in the wildest fear. A detachment was instantly sent out to (testifier Bithoor—they re turned next day with 16 guns from thence. The inhabitants of Cawnpore aepeared right glad to get back their old masters, having practically learnt the difference between the rule of a native prince and the English Government. Th -y brought supplies of all kinds with the utmost readinesi, and assisted in discovering and bringing fee ward sepoys hidden in the city, who were hung • as they were caught. In the evening the. deputy collector of Cawnpore was brought int camp. This man, a Mussulman, and a highly-trosted. Bert/ant of our Government, had been one of the Bithoor Rajah's most active supporters throughout ; and when our force was marching_ up, this astute scoundrel spread the report that the whole of the English troops or ' dered out from England to aid the Indian Govern ment had been stopped in Egypt by the Pasha, and not permitted to pass through th it country—that in consequence eight thousand English soldiers only remained to be dealt with in India, and they might eatily be harassed to death. "Here, for the present, nay long letter ends. The force is now engaged in crossing the broad Ganges—a most arduous task at this time of year —preparatory t o marching oa Lucke° w. The Highlanders and some guns are over—the rest are earning, fast. It is hardly to much to say that Havelock's column has reconquerecl • India. In eight days it has marched 126 miles, fought four actions, against greatly 'superior numbers, in the arduous and most trying season of the whole year, and takeu 45 guns. " You may observe that I give no return of killed and wounded-1 do not pretend to do so. All I relate is from my own observation-esthe returns will give the rest. I only know that no mane of the enemy was ever spared that was caught." THE DISASTER AT ARRAH. " Patna, July 3 " I thank God that I am alive and well able to write to you once more. I have been in great dan ger, and never expected to reach this place alive again, but God has been most m erciful to me. As I dar e say you would like to hear t'ie whole story I will begin at the beginning. About a week ago, as we have long anticipated, the three native regi meuts at Dinapore mutinied. The General, an old man in his second childhood, managed the whole affair very badly, or rather did nothing at all. No one knew who was in command of the Europeans, no one knew whom to look to for or ders, the General was not to be found, and the consequence was that the three regiments managed to get clear off with their arms and ammunition, and almost without losing a single man ! The General was advised and asked to send men after them, but this he altogether declined to do, and determined to keep every European in Dinapore, to take good care of himself. A day or so after the mutineers left we heard that they had gone to Anal), where they were attacking poor Wake and party, consisting of about 12 or 13 Europeans and 50 Sikhs. Wake had strongly fortified a puch house, and laid in lots of ammunition and food. Directly we heard of this, and that they were hold ing out well, Mr. wrote to the General to send out aid to them. At first be refuted, butnsente after re ceiving a strong letter from Mr. --- he cod, and sent off 200 Europeans in a steamer. The next day we heard that the steamer had stuck in the river, and that the General Lad sent orders were in to recall t hem. Of course, as Ecgl s en, we a great rage at this, —leaving a n and umb I r of p ed at or fel lows to their fate ; so off -- start 12 u' e lock at night on Tuesday last to pitch into the old muff. When we got to Dinapore we found that he hal been made to change his mind, and had consented to send ' - ii.nother steamer off;.. which luckily happened jest •to have come in. In this started .150 Europeans . and 50. Sikhs ; we al together made up a force of 400 men. •As Wake is ono of the greatest friends I have got, I determin-d to give him a hand if I could, and so volunteered with seven other fellows, five of whom are dead. Well; I was up all- that Tue - day night,' and at daylight on Wednesday off we started. We reached the nearest point to Arrah, on the banks of the .Ganges, at about 2 o'clock, and were beginning to get dinner ready (so - as to start with a good feed, as we could not expect to get anythiug thilroad) when we heard our advanced guard firing. We immediately all fell in, and went off t the place, about two miles off, where we found them drawn up before a large (nullah) river about 200 yards wide, firing away at some Sepoys on the other side. The Sepoys, when they saw us coming, ran away ; and then, as we had got so far, we the fight we might as well go on. After a delay of two or three hours in getting boats and crossing over it was nearly 7 o'clock before we got well off. From the villagers we heard that Wake- was st all right and holding out, which was. confirmed by the - firing we heard in the direction Of Ate ah of l ig gnus. It was a beautiful moonlight night, the road a very bad One kutcha one in the rains), ;and woo led country on both sides of us.- We did not- see a soul on the road, though we passed through several villages, until_ we came to within five bides' of Arial), where we saw a party of horse men ahead of us, who. galloped off before we got within shot. About 11. o'clock the moon went down ; however, as we did not expect that the Mutineers would fade us, we still went on till we ca,ine within about a mile of the fortkfied hoiue, 'We were .passing a thick black mango grove t--our right, : when all of a sod len, without any warning, the whole place was lighted up by a tremendous vol ey poured into us at about 30. or 40 yards dis tance. It is impossible to say how many men fired into us—some say 500, some 1,500. The next thing I rememb , r was finding myself elope, lying in the middle of the road, with a crack on the head, and my hat gone. I suppose I must have been stunned for a minute. When I recovered there were several men lying by me, but not a living soul could I see. Theta were lots to hear, though, for the bullets from right to left were- whistling over my head. I was just thinking where our men could be, an I which way I should run, when I saw the Sepoys advancing out of the grove with their bayonets within a dozen yards of me. I fired my . 1 double barrel right and left into them and thin ran towards our men, whom I could hear shouting on the left-, under a tremendous fire from both parties. Everything now was in a most-dreadful confusion ; the men were all scattered in groups of fifties and twenties, firing in every direction, and, I fear, kil liog each other. At last a Captain Jones; a very fine fellow—our commander was never seen again after the first volley—got hold of a bugler and got the men together in a sort of hollow place, a half filled pond. Thine we all lay down in a square. I was iu the Middle, -with the doctor, helping him to tie up the wounds of the poor fellows, and bringing them -water. The firing was all this time going on. Tee enemy could see us, as we were all dressed in white, while they were nearly naked, and behind gees and walls. However, the men tired about at random. At last the poor doctor was knocked over, badly wounded. It was dreadful to hear the poor wounded fellows asking for help. " I shell never forget that night as long as I live. We held a consultation and determined-to retreat, as the enemy was at least 3,000 or 4,000 strong, and had besides several cannon. Directly morning dawned we formed seeder, and began our retreat. The whole distance, 16 miles, we walked under a most tremendous fire. The ditches, the; jungles, the houses, -and in fact every place of cover along the road, was lined with Sepoys. We kept up a fire as we went along, but what could we de ? We could see no enemy, only puffs of smoke. We tried to charee, but there was nobody to charge ; on all sides they fired into us, and were scattered all over the country in groups of tens and twenties. Dozens of poor fellows were knocked over within a yard of me on my right and left, but thauk God, I escaped iu the most wonderful way. The last five miles of the road I •cerried -a poor wounded fellow, who begged me not to leave him, and though we had had nothing to eat for more than 24 hours, and I had had no sleep for two nights, I never felt so strong •in my life, and I stepped out with the man es if he -had been-a feather, though he was as big as myself. Poor fellow ! the men, most of them more or less wounded, were leaving him behind, and the cowardly Sepoys, who never came within 200 yards of us, were sunning up to murder him. I got the poor fellow safe over the nulldlr ; I swam out and got a boat, put him in, and went out with a lot of others. The poor fellow thanked me with tears in his eyes. At the crossing of the nullah we lost a great many men ; they threw away their muskets to pull the boats and to swim over, and were shot down like sheep. " I never before knew the horrors of war, and what I have gme through I hope will make a last ing impreision •on my mind, and make me think more of 'God - and His great goodness to me. lam sure God spared me because he knew I was not fit to die ; and I pray God that He will prepare me, for we can truly say we know not what a day may bring forth. I had 'several extraordinary escapes, one bullet went between my legs as I was walking and broke - a luau's leg in front of me ; another bul let hit me on the back of the head, knocking me down, but hardly breaking the skin. Everything here is quiet as ye`, but people are in a great panic. I cannot say that I am. Out of the 400 fine fellows that started for Arrah, nearly 200 were killed, and of the, remainder I do not think more than 50 to 80 were not wounded ; out of seven volunteers five were knocked over, four killed and one wounded. This has been the most disastrous affair that has happened out here. I hope, however, *e may soon get some more troops again from Calcutta, and get back our name. I cry to think of the way we were beaten and of the number of poor fellows who ware killed. I will send this letter at once, for perhaps the dak may be stopped, and I may n9t be able to send a letter in a day or two. I-will write again if I can, but do net be alarmed if Ido not. The crack on my head hardly broke the skin, and is nothing ; the bullet hit me. sideways, and the folds of cloth I had round my hat saved me. " August 1. " I have just heard that about 30 men came in ,ast night who got separated from us in the dark, and wandered to the river, where they got off in a native boat. The authentic return I have seen ; 150 men killed, the rest wounded, except about 50 men who escaped untouched. I suppose such a disastrous affiir was never heard of baton in India —most dreadful mismanagement throughout. Of course we did not relieve poor Wake and his garri son. P.,or creatures ; We heard that • they were still holding out up to two o'clock on the day we left. We have at Dinapore only 600 Europeans, and of c airso cannot send any of them. How I wish the steamer with troops would arrive. We have expected them a long time ; but we have just heard that the few remaining regiments down coun try have mutinied,. and I suppose they have been detained to walk into them. We want a good General here. I think if we had ,a good bead things might yet turn out well ; at present they certainly :tr.) not bright. I have no end of work to do—running about all day long. I pray to God that whatever may happen I may be spared to see you all once again iu this world. We cannot say what may happen from day to day. lam sure, my dearest mother, all your prayers to God for me have been answered. All through that dreadful night, the horrors of which I shall never forg back I felt sure God would protect me , and bring me in safety. Poor --- 1 every soul at Cawnpore murdered !

'4 he essential object of this treatise is to point cut the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in MAl hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusel is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their plsys,chl ecndition, end who are conscious of having hazarded the hen' th, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is " =Meet. It le Lbsolutely necessary that all men should know that there are rrimiples of persoral management which cannot be violated with cut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and 'townie evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, • that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to whi Allen, timelaid of science cannot apply a cure. i Published by J. 2O, Warwick-Line, Paternoster-row, and may be had of Mann, 39, Cornhill; Home, 19, Leicester-square , Gerdon, 146, Leadenhall, street or from the Author, who may be .consulted daily, from 11 till 2, and from 6 till 8, at his residence, 37 Bedford square, London. -The work may be had in India, of Mr. Von Litzky, Loll Bazaar ; Calcutta—Messrs.

All the prisoners token are to be ' hanged instanter.' We are very 'jolly in deed and only want troops from home.' " GENERAL HATELOOK. "A. Soldier," in writing t) a contemporary, says :—" I be; to call the attention of all readers of your popuLtr journal to the manner in which General Havelock has been treated in the last Ga• zette; as the reward of all his recent great services. This gallant officer i 8 termed the saviour of India in the Indian jou - nals which have reached this country by the last mail, and his briltiatTh deeds well deserve the tide thus acquired, for never did any officer perform more important and glorious services under such disadvantages, and with such small means, as General Havelock has done • during this terrible crisis. Mark the result. Three colonels are promoted in the late Gazette to the rank of major-general in India (?), and the gallant Have lock, whose name has become familiar to all Eu rope, is placed third on the list, below two other officers unknown to fame. The first of the three is said to be a very good officer, and no doubt he will prove so when' tried. The second was chief of the staff of that illustrious body the Turkish Contin gent, which contrived to keep well out of fire during the whole of the late war, when our noble British troops were performing deeds of glory. To this office this officer was named, although he could not speak a word of any other language than his own. Now, sir, it has been said that the warrant of 1854 was framed to enable the Queen to confer higher rank on those officers, who, in the hour of danger and neces , ity did display unusual talents for command. Has this been the case with General Havelock ? Why was he not made a major general in the army, as others have been for ser vices which were not a tithe of his? This is "no time to mince matters," and if the public will sub mit to see one of the most deserving and dashing officers who has ever appeared in' the hour of need treated in this scurvy manner, the people of this country will only have themselves to thank for the paucity of daring and competent officers. Redan men and Malakoff men were greatly rewardedwhen perhaps they deserved censure, but here is an offi cer who has distinguished himself, and displayed most singular capacity under very trying circum stances, mixed up with the common herd of officers in his reward. I never saw General Havelock in my life, nor have I the least knowledge of him but it becomes the duty of every man to raise his voice against such audacious injustice and wrong. In the old wars in India we were contending against a motley array, armed with matchlocks, spears, and swords; at present we have disciplined men to meet, armed•like ourselves, and urged on by all the fury (a 3 they imagine) of religious perse cution and religious zeal. INDIAN REVEIVIJE2. The subscriptions in aid of the sufferers by the mutiny in India, are pouring in with so hearty a good will, as to show that they who aro furthest removed from the scenes of slaughter are in heart, if not in hand, making common course with their much injured fellow-countrymen. This spirit is ma nifested by many of that mercantile body who might be thought to be most liable to be influenced by the arguments of the "Peace at all price" party. It augurs well fur our country that it should be found to be so sound at heart. Among that class from whom our soldiers are raised, the feeling of in ligna tion at the unmerited wrongs we have experienced from the native troops in revolt, is so strong as to enable us to raise whatever number of men may bo necessary to restore to us the actual mastery, which in so many instances w o appear to have lost for a season. The last advices represent us as beginning to act with increa-ed vigour, by reason of the support we are deriving from the European forces which have arrived at the disturbed districts. Sir C. Campbell has assumed the chief command, and we &hall, no doubt, hear by the next mail that a regular system of warfare has commenced, which will put an end to all the insults and injuries to which our people have been so long exposed. One powerful arm is still wanting. The insurgents have seized an immense booty in the Government revenue which were accumulated at Delhi and many other stations. The Sepoys are laden with the spoil, and when they are killed their dead bodies are plun dered, either by their own party or by the troops which are brought against them. So far we may be said to gain some advantage from the loss of all this treasure. But the question will often recur—Can we not administer the affairs of India in such a manner that a loss of th:s kind could never occur again I Can we not raise our Indian revenue, and pay our troops, and make all disbursements in the civil accounts by means of paper-rupees, which would answer every useful purpose, as we conducted our affairs at home during the last great war by means of paper money ? Thera would have been wanting one great inducement towards this geMral outbreak in India, if the disaffected chiefsin revolt had known that they could get no money in gold or silver to pay their followers with, and the men themselves had seen that they must soon starve fur want of f oo d, having no money which would pass current in those districts where the English Government did not possess supreme power. We may take secu rity from all the people under our control a gainst any future insurrection if we will but adopt a system. of paper money for the collection of our Indian revenue, and the administration of the Government in regard to its civil and military affairs. —Derby shire Courier. BRITAIN POSTAL COMMUNICATION. BETWEEN GG REAT AND BELGIUM.—An important modification of the postal relations between the unitel kingdom and B e lgium will come into effect on the let proximo. Hitherto the postage charge on letters has been 63. for one not eXe seeding a quarter of an ounce, and Bd. for on e not ex ceeding half an ounce. Prepayment was optional, but on and after the' Ist of October, the letter rate up to half an will be 41. Unless, however, there be prepay, went, the postage will be double. At the present time the transmission of printed matter other than newspapers between the two countries is almost impracticable ha consequence of its being charged at the letter rate, but from the let of next month printed matter as well ae ne wspapers are to be conveyed between each country on a prepayment of Id. per package not exceeding 50 gram.. me!, which is equivalent to one ounce and two-thires: This about doubles the present postal charge upon news. papers received in this country, and imposes a new, and. in the CaS3 of the large papers a very heavy postal tax upon all those sent o u t from Great Britain, inasmuch ug since the Newspaper Stamp Act of 1855 all newspapers sent hence to Belgium are exempt either from the bail pressed or the penny postage stamps.
