DINAPORE AND ARRAN. The following is a copy of the greater part of a letter received from a medical officer in her Ma- jesty's 10th at Dinapore DINAPORE, ATM. 2. " Since I last wrote to you the native regiments here have mutinied, but without any loss of life to us. I told you all along the rascals would never attack the 10th. We are all so much disgusted here with the whole affair that really, as an officer of the regiment, I have neither patience nor time to give a full account of the very bad management of the general and his staff in allowing the three regiments to escape. They went off in the direction of the Soane River, which they managed to cross, and afterwards marched towards Arrah. The day of the mutiny, and a few hours before it broke out, the general commanding gave orders for the removal of the percussion caps from the magazine situated at the top of the native lines. This was done at an earl-y hour of the morning, and as the artillery cart pasted down where tho native regiments wore par&d- - - . log, the 7th and Bth gave a shout, and showed'evi dent symptoms of their desire to stop it ; but they were prevented, and the cart was brought safely on to our mess room. These two regiments were ia.operi revolt at 6 o'clock a.m. The general was informed of the fact, and in place of ordering up the guns and the 10th to disarm the 7th, Bth, and 40th, on the spot, he only iesued the supine order for native officers to collect the caps the Sepoys were in possession of, and report to him by 12. o'clook that this was effected. When the native officers went to carry, or pretended to carry, this contemptible and temporising order into effect, the 7th and Bth woujci not give up their caps, but some of the 40th complied. The European officers belonging to the regiments afterwards went up to the rebels, and endeavoured to get them to do so, but their efforts were unavailing. The Sepoya told their officers to be off, and fired upon them, but happily without killing or wounding any of them. " The hospital-guard saw all this, and perceiving the officers running towards the 10th's lines the signal guns were fired off from the hospital. The whole of my patients got on the top of it. They kept up a steady fire, and managed, infirm in health as they were, to kill about a dozen of the scoun di els ( The regiment turned out, and every one was in. his place in the course of a few minutes. I galloped round the houses, and got all the ladies, women, and children brought down t.) the barracks. The order was given, Guns to the front,' and on we went in the - fond anticipation of cutting these three rebel regiments . to pieces. Some of the 37th Queen's, who arrived here the day before, were thrown out in skirmishing order. The 10th ad vanced with their guns, and great was our mortifi- cation when we perceived - the Sepoys running across the country like doer. We tired six guns after them without effect, and here ended this most _ _ disgracefully-mismanaged affair. One fellow fired at myself as I was carrying an order, but the ball did not hit me. Some of the men saw where it came from, and found him concealed in one of. the huts ; ;hey soon despatched him. We only killed about 30 of ,he mutineers ; 'had they stopped, and given the ;allaut 10th, a chance, they would have bagged the - . whole, or at all events the greater proportion of them ; and it is galling and most mortifying to the regiment to think that it has been prevented doing so by-the imbecility of the General, whose cowardly conduct foil many weeks past has been the means at least of bringing a heavy affliction upon her Majesty's 10th. I must here explain that after the rebels ran off an order, was given (two days after wards) for the head-quarters of the regiment to proceed to Arrah by a steamer to relieve some Eu ropeans besieged in that place. This order was, however, cancelled, and a small detachment of the 10th' was sent, under the command of one of our senior captains (Dunbar). The strength of the de tachment amounted to 150 men and four officers. There were also 230 men of the 37th, and a propor tion of officers, the whole force constituting nearly 400 men, including eight or 10 officers of the native regiments from here, who volunteered. The boat containing the 37th got aground, but they were taken on board of the one which was proceeding up with the 10th men. They all landed safely, and continued their march towards Arrah, the whole being under the command of Capt. Dunbar, who made a sad mess of it. He did not, it appears, take the precaution of throwing out au advanced guard, and when ourgallant soldiers were marching on inthe full hope of doing good work they were, about two o'clock in the morning, fired upon by 2,000 Sepoys, 'who were lying in ambush for them. Capt. Dun bar was killed on the spot, as well as three offi cers of the 37th. The men became panic-stricken, and they retreated in the direction of the steamer, which lay two miles out in the stream. Both de• tachments were severely handled, and the 10th have lost 70 mem killed and wounded in this unfor tunate expedition. The 37th sustained pretty much the same loss. The remainder of the detach ment arrived back here on Friday. All our men are badly wounded, and for the last two days I have had hard work amputating and extracting balls: I wash the blood from my hands to go and write this to you, and again to return to the hos pital. In the absence of Dr. Gordon, on medical certificate, you are aware that 1 have had full me dical charge of the regiment for nearly 12 months past, and in the present untoward emergency I have had plenty to do, and with little assistance, on account of Dr. Tulloch, the second assistant, being with a detachment at Benaree, and from Mr. Tucker, the junior assistant, having been sent off to Patna in medical charge of another detachment on the very day the wounded arrived back from Arrah ; but I have now got assistance, and will manage to get a sleep to-night. Poor Erskine was mortally wounded in the abdomen; he expired yesterday. Sand with and Bettye were also wounded, but bath, lam happy to say, are doing well. The names of the officers of the 37th killed are—Lieu tenaut Bau 6 enall and Ensigns Birket and Sale. Mr. Ingleby, of the 7th Regiment, was also killed. He was one of the European officers of the native regiments who volunteered, several of whom have come back here badly wounded ; some have ben drowned, and others are missing. The medical officer sent in charge were also wounded, and all the medical stores I sent for ;the use of the men have been lest. I need not say that the poor ladies and wives of the men are iu great distress about their husbands. All the ladies are ordered from this to Calcutta. The 10th, now here, are greatly reduced in numbers, and we have at this time only four officers fit for duty ; but we expect more troops daily. The treasure has been removed from bore, and we are all in great excite ment. If you will refer t my letters written more than two months ago, you will read in them, that I then advocated the disarming of these regiments, and frankly stated that the General would some day regret his misplaced confidence in them, That day has at last arrived, and 1 pi onounce him alone responsible for the lives lost and the blood that has been shed. In the wLee of Her Majesty's army there is not a corps in higher discipline than the 10th. The gallant Colonel Franks made them a model regiment. Their movements were as one man, and I will not admit that even the Guards could have gone through their evolutions with the same, or at least with more precision and soldier like bearing than this regiment to which I have the honour to belong ; and although three regi ments wore opposed to us we were burning to get at them, notwithstanding we had little more than 400 effective bayonets, for, what with the detach ment at Benares and the sick in hospital, the above number was all we had here. The discipline and efficiency of the regiment are well preserved by the gallant officer, Colonel Fenwick, now in lle would p o e u d l d i t i noton h e n a v t e to h a A p p r e r t h e d t , li b i s e c c a a u s t catastrophe, t h r e o phe, I com mand, and had it be en hi s l o t t o t ake c h arge of the would h m i n a have been more cautious. " General Lloyd had been, I am 50 years in India, and from bodily infirmity is altogether unfit for such a command in such trou blmme times. Surely it is high time for any field officer to retire when ho requires help to be put on and taken off his horse. We are all disgusted with him, and vexed beyond measure that he has pre vented the brave 10th from proving to the world that with only 400 men they would have licked, and that most effectually, three regiments of in surgent Sepoys. " We hear that large supplies of troops are coming to our aid. I hope the British Government will bear iu mind the necessity of keeping up a con- Vnued flow of fresh regiments for some time to creme, so as to supply the deficiency which sickness will crtat-. It is not the mere sending of 50,000 men that will do in this Presidency alone, unless that number is steadily kept up by an infusion of healthy men sent out for some years to come, to supply the place of invalids sent home and the sick in hospital. This, believe me, is a most trying eli- CAWNPORE. The following is the copy of a letter from an officer whose regiment mutinied in ono of the sta tions in Oude. He is with General Havelock's force as a Cavalry volunteer : " Camp before Cawnpore, July 21. " T.wrote to you on the day of our fight at Futty pore. The next day's march we had no turn-up, but the day after we came across the enemy in an intrenched position with two guns. As usual, the Volunteer Cavalry were in fiont, and got the first few rounds of round shot, which came unpleasantly close to us. We immediately advanced in battle order—the Artillery silenced the guns, the Infan try advanced and took the breastwork by storm. The enemy left their guns in our hands. We ser ved out grog and biscuits to the Europeans, and again advanced, Volunteer Cavalry ih front. S and I went on ahead with the Quartermaster- General to a bridge to reconnoitre the rebels' posi tion. When we arrived within 600 yards the Quartermaster-General looked through his glass at the bridge ahead, and said, There are no guns ; you, remain here.' I dismounted, when presently a musket or carbine was fired at us from the bridge. The distance was so great that we laughed at it, and S--took off his hat and waved it. No sootier: had he done so than a 24-pounder was sent at us, their another. There was a small hut off the road, so we moved behind it, and the beauties sent shot' after shot at the body of our volunteers drawn up across the road. They retire d, _and we were re called. The column than deployed and advanced in order of battle covered by Skinner's troop, armed: with Enfield rifles and objectionable cartridge. The infantry alone soon silenced the guns, and on a rush being made across the bridge we found our-' selves in possession of a 32 and 24-pounder. " Yesterday we marched, knowing that we were to meet the enemy in force. We made the ordinary march and bivouacked. The Volun teer Cavalry were posted on a-head, to prevent surprise. I have written so far and find I am really Lo done up I cannot write more, sufficd it to say that we had a - tremendous battle; and al. had , narrow escapes. The Volunteer Cavalry, 18 in nurnber, made a charge against hun dreds—a very rash thing to do. The General said he was proud to cornmand u 3.: We took eight or nine guns. Altogether it was a most gallant affair: Haviug bivouacked, we advanced in the afternoon. Our horses had nut been unsaddled, and had had little to eat. I must have ridden 16 miles, and nothing but biscuit and wine —lO a.m. yesterday, nar sp. in. You may fancy what the heat is on the march in the middle of the day—officere and men falling from sun strokes. Yesterday's affair was a most gallant one, and the General may be proud of all under him. The advance of the Ea ropeans with round-shot and grape pouring into them was most perfect. We came in for our share. We kit one of our volunteers iu the charge, and I am going to attend h's funeral this evening. His brother was with us, and it was sad to see the poor boy sobbing in the rauk4, with his brother lying hacked all over within a few yards. The poor little fellow never asked to be alloived to le eve the troop. We must halt to-morrow, and I shall be able to write you a better letter. "Camp, Cawnpore, July 22. _ "I have been to see the place whe , re the poor women and children were imprisoned and after wards butchered. It is a small bungalow close to the road. There wera all sorts of articles of women and children's clothing. Ladies' hair evidently cut off with a sword, back combs. &c. There wer6 also parts of religious beoks. Where the massacre took place it is covered with blood like a butcher's slaughterhouse. One would fancy nothing could be worse than this, but in the well at the back of the house are the bodies and limbs of the poor things. I looked down and saw such a sight .asi I hope never to seo again. The whole of the bodies were naked, and the limbs had been separated. I thought of the two Mrs. and 'the three poor girls, and felt very sad. By all - accounts the women were so ill treated that.death, ••even such a death, must have been welcome to there. I will not enter into more details. I have told you enough to cause you to make allowance if I write savagely. I have looked upon death in every form, but I could not look down that well again." THE OTERLAND ROUTE POR TROOPS. The Government have at length made a tardy acknowledgment of the advantages of the overland route for pouring reiuforcements into India. At present, howev-r, the despatch is to be on a very limited scale, for driblets of 200 or 300 men are to be sent at a time. A gentleman who has lately been in Egypt furnishes us with the following in formation relative to this route :—" Owing to the cloud of official haziness thrown over the subject of transporting troops to India via the Isthmus of Suez, I find that very little is known iu England as to the real capabilities of that route. Perhaps it may be that our home Government are purposely kept in ignorance as to what might be done by its aid, in order that the otiums cum dignitate of our consular agents in Egypt may not receive too rude a shock in being suddenly called upon to do some thing which would entail a little more trouble than the mere forwarding of an o c casional despatch from India. A great deal h as b een sa id a bout the great difficulties of the Pass age across th e I s thmus. They do not exist, except in th e b ra i n s of those who would willingly conjure them up in order to ensure a continuance of their personal ease and comfort at a time when the exigencies of the country de mand that the utmost energies of all should be put forth to secure early succour to our hard-pressed countrymen in Indi a . T he corisent of the Viceroy, of Egypt and other f r i en dl y powers b e ing secured —and I believe it has never been contended by Lord Palmerston that a single diplomatic •bstacle retarded the adoption of such a plan—the rest of the case is simply thi s : —A rr i ve d i n th e h ar b our of Alexandria, our tro o p s cou ld b e row ed from th e vessel to the wooden jetty at the mouth of the Mahmoudieh C trial in 10 minutes ; or, there are always several light-draught steamers in the har b3ur which cou'd be pressed into the service. After landing on the jetty, coll ec ti ng baggage, and ferm i ing with the strictest military precision on the road near the jetty, tie troops are within ten minutes' very easy march of the railway station. I did it myself very leisurely in that time, carrying a heavily-loaded knapsack, under a blazing sun on the 10'h of August, in the present year of 1857. There is plenty of room on the platform of the railway station at Alexandria to muster 2,000 men fully accoutred. There, is an excellent railway to Cairo 130 miles in length, with nine stations, at the following distances from each other :—Between Alexandria and Kaffre Dowah 17 miles 26 chains (note-80 chains make one mile) ; between Kaffre Dowagh and Daman-. hour, 21 miles 27 chains ; between Damanhour and Kaffra Lais, 26 miles 27 chains ; between Kaffre Lain and Kaffre Azzayat and Tantah, 11 miles ; between Tantah and Byrket-el-Sabah, 11 miles 30 chains,; between Byrket-el-Sabah and Benah, 13 miles 7t) chains ; between Benah and Keliouts, 19 miles 40 chains,. between Kelioub and Cairo, 8 miles 60 chains. It is true there is only one line of rails, with long sidings at every station, and one or two branch lines ; but it is also true that there is only one passenger train a day each way between Alexandria and Cairo ; so that the transport of keeps would not at all interfere with the regular traffic of the railway. The only stop page of any consequence is the non-completion of the bridge at Kaffre Azzayat. There the passen gers are transported across the Nile by means of a huge portable steam-bridge, similar to the one in use at Portsmouth—good English-built steamers, and Terse barges. When I last made the trip, on the 10th and 12th of August respectively, there were from 700 to 800 Arabs—men, women, and children—in the train each way, going to and from '.he great annual fair at Tantah. We were all con- veyed across the Nile, bag and b aggage , f rom — the train on one side of the river to the train on the other, in less than half an hour ; but, in accordance with true Oriental usage, we had to sit in the car riages for another hour before starting. An Eng lish regiment, with all its lumber, could scarcely be delaled longer than this. The men could take their own provisions with them, and hundreds of Arab women and girls will be found at the roadside stations offering water to the thirsty traveller. The regular passenger trains travel at a speed at 21 miles an hour ; expresses go 45 miles ; but going at the most leisurely pace, our soldiers need not take longer than seven hours on the road be tween LAlexandria and Cairo. From Cairo the railway already extends nearly 59 miles across the Desert to Suez, leaving little more than 25 miles of actual marching. Though not quite finished, this is quite fit for use, brought into,requisition ls and luggage. On portion r dc t o i h o na n :e ys o ei f vn t eg h r eat the De timeseo s v e e r r t lba r en a e d i a l m v a a y i arriving at Cairo the troops need not leave their carriages, for the lines run into the same station, and haying been supplied with provisions and water, they would, by going'on into the middle of ithe Desert at once, have no occasion to wait for !stragglers lost in the mazy .streets of Grand Cairo. IFrom Alexandria to the extremity of the railway lin the Desert need not;occupy more than 10 hours ; 'a night's rest and two days' easy marching would bring the troops to Suez, where they could embark,' as thousands of other people, who are trained to undergo such fatigues, do embark every year. The labour of marching over the .Dcsert must not be I made too much of. Half a century ago Napoleon's brave columns and Abercrombie's gallant grenadiers marched over and fought battles in the Egyptian deserts; and surely, no one, after our Crimean ex periences, will be bold enough to say that the Bri tishsoldier has degenerated during the last GO years. I am not surprised . that the Government hesitated to adopt the Isthmus route until they were cer tain of having steamers in the 11.4 Sea to carry the troops forward on 'their arrival at Suez ; but beingnow assured of transport at the other end of the route, I certainly am exceedingly surprised that our authorities do not seem disposed to make more extensive use of it than they at present ap pear inclined to do.' Why not use both routes ? But certainly why not use the 'shortest ? Its advan tages in point of time are greater than the public are allowed to know, its 'disadvantages a mere bagatelle, the much-talked-of inconveniences' a perfect sham. in the months of men of war, with the examples of Alexander, NapoleM, and Aber crombie before them. As a knowledge of the real capabilities of the. route becomes disseininatld, I feel -convinced that there will be h universal demand made by the country for troops to be sent to India via the Isthmus of Suez." This is an important statement, and demands immediate attention. Liverpool Courier. Naval and Military Intelligence. Tho following officers have arrived. at the Pro• visional Battalion, Chatham, for the purpose of joining the depot battalions which have ben formed, viz. :—Brevet-Major D. G. A. Darrock and Paymaster C. S. Naylor, attached to the staff of the 3d battalion ; Captain Mullett, 211 Royal Welsh Fusileers ; Lieutenant J. E. Waite, 10th Regiment ; and Lieutenant T. Carlisle, 75th Regi ment, Ist battalion. Recruiting for the corps of Royal Marine Light Infantry is actively proceeding, the Lords of the Admiralty having decided on keeping each divi sion up to its full strength. A recruiting party, under the command of Major H. Marriott, has proceeded from head-quarters, Chatham, to Leeds, and yesterday another party, commanded by Cap tain J. Huskisson, left for Worcester for the pur pose of raising men. The depots of the 23d Welsh Fusileers, 24th, 27th Ennisklllens, 29th, 53d, and 84th Regiments have been considerably augmented by the arrival at Chatham yesterday and the day previous of up wards of 100 recruits, for the purpose of joining those regiments. In consequence of the large number of recruits who are daily arriving at Chatham, amounting to upwards of 200 weekly, for the purposs of joining the Indian depots at the Provisional Battalion, considerable activity prevails at Chatham barracks in preparing the men for embarcation for India, for the purpose of joining the service companies of their respective regiments. The troops are marched out daily to the lines, where they are ex ercised for several houis, in addition to which large bodies of troops, selected from the various depots, are instructed in the use of the Enfield rifle, no non-commissionad officer or private being allowed to embark until he has undergone a course of instruction in that weapon. Nineteen officers and 300 men of the 78th Regi ment arrived at Portsmouth yesterday afternoon from the camp at Shorncliffe, to embark in the steamer Ireland for India. The newly-formed second battalion of the 2d Queen's Royals, which left Colchester Camp last week for Shorncliffe, consisted of 16 officers, six sergeants, 300 rank and file (all recruits), 10 wo men, and 14 children. The recruiting for this battalion, and for the depots of the Rifle Brigade, continues as actively as ever, and, as a proof of the readiness to enter the army, we may mention that about 000 recruits have joined the Colchester Camp within a short period, and fresh men are arriving every day from the various provincial towns where recruiting parties are stationed. On Saturday the Ist depot battalion, consisting of the 4th, 12th, and 89th depots, left the camp for Shorncliffe, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Whit more. The battalion consisted of 31 officers, 400 men, 87 women, and 165 children, and their de parture will leave the camp entirely in possession of depots of the Indian regiments, which will be comprised in two divisions, as follows :-2d and 3d battalions Rifle Brigade, 54th, and 56th, Ist and 3d battalions of the 60th Rifles under the com mand of Colonel Dixon ; Ist Royals, 34th, 37th, 83th, 88th, and 97th, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Street. Accounting for the departure and arrival of depots, there remain in camp about 2,100 men, who upon the whole may be said to be healthy, as there is but a small pro portion of invalids in hospital. One death took place last week, that of Colour-Sergeant Wedgeworth, of the 97th, a remarkably fine man, who passed through the Crimean campaign, and was awarded the Legion of Honour for his gallant conduct in the attack on the Redan. The men complain of the inconvenience experienced during the late heavy rains in consequence of the insufficiency of the present drainage to carry off the surface water from the level of the camp ground, and which chiefly disappears by percolation through the gravelly soil. The Chesapeake, 51, screw frigate, Commodore Watson, C. 8., was to sail from Spithead last night for Calcutta, having received an additional quantity of the munitions of war, in the shape of shells, which will contain molten iron instead of the old fashioned red-hot shot. The Royal Corps of Engineers that were to have embarked in her have been forwarded oveiland. The Perseverance iron steam troop-ship, Com mander M‘Donald, requires so much refit in her engine department, &c., that her of sers and craw are ordered to be turned over to the Urgent, a sis ter ship to the Transit. A letter received in Cork on Monday from Cal cutta, dated the Bth of August, states that reinforce ments to the amount of 1,400 had arrived up to that day. The following appointments were made at the Admiralty yesterday : Lieutenant—F. S. Thompson, to the Cyclops. Mates—Orford S. Cameron and Thomas W. Simeon, to the Diadem. Paymaster—G H. Wil'ier, to the Cyclops. Clerk—Warwick Woolridge, to the Valorous. , Acting Assistant-Surgeons—Henry Usoher, R. R. Siccatna, Dr. W. Howison, and L. Lucas, additional to the Victory for Haslar Hospital. T. Colaghan, Dr. Dr. Henry S. Smart, and Dr. John M'Cortnick, addi tional, to the Impregnable, for Plymouth Hospital. Acting Second Master—Thomas H. Hayman to the Valorous. THE MILITIA. The following figures will show the state of the Third Royal Westminster Middlesex Militia at the present date :-500 meta have received their training bounty of 11. Is. ; 312 men have been en rolled this year ; 11 men re-attested, whose term of five years' service has expired, making a total of 823 ; and volunteers are still coming forward daily for the remainder of their bounty. The West York Rifles are to be embodied at Pontefract on the 6th of next month. It is ex• petted the regiment will be sent to Ireland, where it served for nine months during the lata war.

Sir,—There are more "Jack Steelea" in the British army than perhaps the country wots of. You have quoted the instance of two in the In fantry ; I hope. you will not refuse to chronicle one of the Artillery. It is that of the present Quarter master of the 2cfbattalion of that corps. I need not designate him by name, lest, like all such men, he should not bepleased at it. He was the sergeant major of the G field battery attached to the Second Division, and landed with it i n the C r imea; He was 'zealous and intelligent, and an example to every one in the performance of his duty. At the Battle of lukermann a portion of the battery to Which he was attiched, for a moment deierted by the infantry, fell into the bands of the enemy. 'The Artillery "Jack Steele," the Quartermaster. I speak of, aideil'by a gunner, with that courage so often characteristic of the British soldier, and which seems to set all odds of number at• defiance, stood his ground, He got his back to a wheel and de fended hiniself as well as he could with his short Sword. He was bayonetted in no less than twelve places. The g . titiner, whose name (it may cause a glow of 'pride in some cottage or home in England to mention it) was James Taylor, was killed---at least he died of his wounds next day: The Russians for some unaccountable reason did not fire, but they used their bayonets freely on the two English men both wbile they resieted and when, from the eff cts of their wounds, they fell.. There were soon driven:back, I believe, by a portion of the 88th Regiment, and the guns recovered. The sergeant major was taken intl . -camp and his wounds at tended to. • One in the breast, from his difficulty of breathing, was supposed to have penetrated the lung. He was sent to Scutari, and recovering suffi ciently, he, at his own request rejoined his battery in the Crimea; and lie was, though a good deal ebilitated, the same active, attentive non-com missioned officer he had always been. He continued in this position until, for his merits and his services, he was promoted to a commission in the Land Transport Corps. He remained in the Crimea with this part of the service until the war was over. He won the respect acids esteem of all under whom he served in the Artillery, and I believe he did the same in the" arduous duties he had to perform in the newly-raised Land Transport Corps. When peace came the latter was reorganised (we are always reorganising everything now-a-days)and became the Military Train. The Artillery sergeant major, who had risen to the rank of captain, was offered, with the liberality and good faith which distinguished the end of :the war, an inferior posi tion under the new arrangement, or a half-pay of'' ss. a-day. He very properly accepted the latter, and an' excellent soldii-r in the prime of life was worse than lost to the service. It is almost equally the same in his present position. He is, as a quar termaster of a battalion, condemned to be stationed all his life at Woolwich, and never to rise higher. He.is decorated with A well-earned Victoria Ccoss, but his military career is at an end. If he has any ambitious aspirations, any desire- to do more than he has done—and his decoration at the hands of his Queen, with the notice he has met with for his valour, make; it likely that it ib so—he must be content to merge them in that sickly designation, mora sickly now than ever to such men as he in the present circumstances of England, a " WoolWich soldier." It is a hard case that some hope of a worthier and better fate is not before him. Is it, may I ask, im possible to open it ? He has qualities besides the highest courage, or no one would seek it for him. If you notice his case, perhaps something may be done. These men never grumble, never attend levees, never disturb official ease in any way. The desire to do their duty is their first and only con sideration. They will, I think, be grateful to the liberality of the Times to permit to be said for them what their modesty will never allow them to sly for themselves.' _ _ _ If they can be benefited, and ours must be a bad system indeed if they - cannot, the service will re ceive au impulse which will circulate a healthy tone to its very extremities. 'lf we have no room for such men, let us crowd less and try to make it. A FIELD OFFICER, R. A. Sept. 20. SCINDIA AND 110LKAR. At a time when these almost forgotten names are likely to become as familiar as they were in the days of Lake and Wellesley, the following extract from a recent number of the Wellington, Gazette may not be uninteresting : " The most powerful of the modern families were those of Holkar and Scindia. The founder of the former was the nephew of an officer of the court. When about 7 years old he was marked out for dis tinction by a prodigy that might have been related of a Greek or Roman hero. A snake was seen fan ning him withits hood, while he slept on the ground unconscious of the presence of so dangerous a neigh bour. When still young he was taken to`the capi tal by his uncle, and he gradually rose to a high po sition at the Peshwa►'a Court. Readopted in course of time another Holkar, and the families continued to rise in fame and importance. They obtained a Jaghire, or military fief, and their capital was In dore, in the province of Malwa, which ultimately became dividel between the Peshwa, Holkar, and Scindia. _ _ _ • The Corporation Stakes and Innkeepers' Plate did not fill. .... " The Scindia family were of still more humble origin : Ty-apa, their founder, was a Khetmutgar, or personal attendant of 4 the great' Bagi Rso, so called to distinguish him from a successor in the Peshwaship who will figure in the subsequent nar rative. Like the first Holkar, Ty-apa was raised to power and then defied his benefactors. But the military character of the Yeshivas was not yet ex tinct, and the first Scindia, was overpowered by their troops, and was at last assassinated while on a campaign. His descendants inherited his warlike and encroaching spirit, and seized the government of Ougein, the ancient capital of the King of Mal wa. The jealousy of these two great families seemed inextinguishable—Rome and Alba, Athens and Sparta, were not more bent on mutual exami nation, and the wars of the Holkars and Scindias would furnish to history an episode as exciting as those of York and Lancast r. A single defeat produced but a slight impression—the slaughter of a chief served but to inaugurate the reign of a more energetic successor. The Holkars seemed utterly overthrown in the great battle of 1797, as fierce and brilliant a deed of arms as Bannockburn or Crecy ; but seven years afterwards Jesesnnt Rao Holkar was knocking at the gates of Imperial Delhi. " The Guskwar was another chief of importance; the first who bore the title contributed to establish the fame of the Mahratta arms, and received valu able grants in Jaghire. He afterwards asserted his independence, and seized the maritime province of Guzei at, which at the time of our narrative still re mained in his family. Another potentate was the Raja of Berar, whose ancestor had received Berar, in Jahire, but had converted it into a separate State, and acknowledged only the political autho rity of the Peshwa.

ASIDE, AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP.—On Wednesday evening, the Wenlock Baths, City-road, was numerously attended by admirers of this graceful and manly pastime, to witness the con test for the championship of swimming, between the above-mentioned competitors. They acquitted them selves in a manner that was well worthy the high repu ation they had f ained. Westron, however, had the mortification to be defeated by his antagonist in a much easier manner than was thought possible- by his parti sans ; nevertf eless, those who backed him, have the satisfaction of knowing that their man was defeated by the only man who could succeed in vanquishing him. The distance to swim was a quarter of a mile, or eight times the length of the bath. Judges having been ap pointed, the competitors made their appearance on the diving-board, and were warmly applauded. They Ave fine, well-p7oportioned men—Beckwith being the fa vourite. On the signal being given, the competitors in stantly sprung from the diving-board, and on appearing above the water, Beckwith was found to have taken the lead. For two hundred yards of the distance the match was gamely contested on the part of Westron, who un questionably is a fine graceful swimmer; but though he did his utmost, he could not obtain any advantage.. Beckwith kept gradually stealing away from .him, until Westron, finding he had no chance sinning, pulled d up, and resigned the contest. Beckwith, the now chain• pion, is swimming-master at the Westminster -Bathe. ell quest of tiTir country must hav‘ „ ; , if not altogether impossible.
