[The following - appeared •in part of our impression of yes terday :—] The adjourned general meeting of the shareholders in this undertaking was held this day at the London Tavern, Bishoissgate-street—Mr. E. Denison, M.P., Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The former meet ing, it will be recollected, was adjourned to enable the directors to appeal to the Court of Chancery, relative to the liability of the preference shareholders to participate with the ordinary shareholders in the losses arising from Redpath's defalcations. On Saturday week last the Lord Chancellor and the Lords J ustices delivered their decision, placing preference shareholders in the same position as guaranteed dock, and relieving them from the losses accruing in consequence of such defalca tions. The meeting was very numerously attended, and much angry feeling was displayed by the shareholders throu,ghout the whole of the proceedings. The ohairmais and directors were received with loud cheers, interspersed . with a few hisses ; the former predominated to a great extent. The SECRETARY having read the advertisement con vening the meeting, and its object, Mr. RIIGHES, before the commencement of business, called attention to the use of proxies, urging that if they now used the proxies issued for a former occasion they were illegal. (Cries of " No, no," " Hear," and uproar, with cries of "Don't be bullied down by any one.") He referred the legal advisers of the directors to the 7th Victoria, which provided that a proxy for one meeting might be used by the directors at another. (" Hear," and uproar.) The CHAIRMAN said that they were assembled to con sider the report of the directors issued in August last, with one that had been recently issued. The assets for the first half-year of 1857 left an available balance for a dividend of upwards of 153,0001, after paying the interest upon the debenture bonds. He should now content himself with asking the meeting to receive the report that had now been in their hands for the last two or three months. Mr. WILSON—Won't you reply to the remarks stated by Mr. Hughes, and condescend to give us your opi nion on the legality or illegality of using such proxies. (llear, hear, and confusion.) The CHAIRMAN — I now move the reception and adop tion of the report. (Cheers and hisses.) Mr. HEATH rose to make some observations on the reports. (Cries of "Off, off," hisses and cheers.) The CHAIRMAN —Practically speaking, you are too late. You should have spoken before I put the ques tion. (Hisses and uproar ; a voice.---" Do you mean to burk all expression of feeling on the report.") Mr. HEATH, after some difficulty, was listened to for a few minutes patiently, in the course of which be re plied to the paragraph in the directors' report relative to the conduct of the preference shareholders. He at tempted to defend the latter, but he was soon assailed with hisses—(cries of " Off, off," " Time, time," and " Question, question"), which continued throughout his address, and prevented his being heard with any degree of accuracy. Mr. Josnut WILSON asked if the meeting was called upon to pass the accounts for the last half-year ? The CHAIRMAN—I have asked you to receive the report ? After some remarks from several shareholding,' Mr. BILLINGS opposed the report, on the ground that the statements contained in it were incorrect. He characterised the publishing of the holdings of every individual shareholder as a breach of commercial trust. It was not money that made the man, but his conduct, and a small holder might be as good a manager, and have as great a desire to promote the undertaking as a large holder. He denied that preference shareholders were partners in the concern, but mere money lenders. The arguments of the directors:relative to the detection of Redpath's forgeries were as cracked as "Big Ben." (Laughter.) Mr. GREENING charged the directors with a deliberate untruth in what they had published in the 6th paragraph of the second report issued, and dated 26th November. Mr. WILLIAMS and other gentlemen attempted to ad dress the meeting, but were unable to obtain a bearing. Mr. HUGHES called on the chairman to preserve order. (Cries of " The meeting is packed," and uproar.) Mr. J. WILSON again rose to address the meeting, and was met with cries of " Spoke." The CHAIRMAN—YOU are out of order. You have already spoken on the motion. (Cheers, and cries of " Shame.") Mr. J. Witsorr—l have not spoken to the question ; I merely asked a question. The CUMRM&NLI have no objection to hear your eloquent speech. It rests with the meeting. (Hisses, and cries of " Insult.") Mr. VALENTINE KNIGHT rose to address the meeting, and was met with cries of " Another preference share holder," to which he replied "he was sorry for those unfortunate shareholders who were not." (Hear, and laughter.) He called on the meeting to calmly consider their position, and lauded the management of the line by the chairman and directors, though he condemned that gentleman's haughty feeliug'in the chair towards the meeting. He should support the adoption of the report. Mr. GEISLER (a member of the committee of share. holders) rose to propose a resolution sanctioning the expenses of the committee. The CHAIRMAN said he was out of order, but would call on him at the proper time. He then said that before he put the motion for the adoption of the report, he would make one or two remarks. If he had ever said anything discourteous to any one, it had been in conse quence of provocation given at the time, and he was very sorry for it. (Loud cheers.) He reminded them that a person occupying the responsible position he held had a great deal to go through. He was ready to let bye-goner be bye-gones, and forget all that had passed, and he asked them to do the same. Mr. HUGHES—Does that include your observations in your report I (Cheers and hisses.) The CHAIRMAN said he made these remarks purely from personal feelings, never having intended in his life to insult any one. (Cheers.) He had been en many occasions provoked, and had no doubt spoken at the time candidly what he meant. (Cheers.) He then put the motion which had been seconded, which was carried, two only holding up their hands against it. The CHAIRMAN then moved the payment of a divi dend in accordance with the terms of the report, re- The motion was put and carried, two only holding up. their hands against it. The CHAIRMAN declared the motion carried, and said an eff,rt would be made to pay the.dividends in a fort night. GREENING (a third clips preference shareholder) mcved a vote of censure on the chairman and directors, in the course of which he opened up the case of the prierence shareholders. lie said the question was, whether they were liable for the thousands and tens of thousands .of pounds of dividend the shareholders ought to have received. The speaker read various extracts from the chairman's previous speeches, in the course of which he was desired to "cut it short," but he angrily replied, "I shall use my discretion about that." He proceeded at great length, and amidst much confusion, to reiterate most of the charges that have been urged against the directors for their condact with reference to the Redpath frauds, and the subsequent litigation with regard to the prefer ence shareholders. Mr, HUGHES seconded the motion. His wish was to blame the Chairman alone, because it - was Nell known that he was the autocrat and despot of the line, and the directors only his Puppets. (Cheers, and cries of "No, no.") It was quite clear from the investigation that had taken place that the chairman had sufficient knowledge in time to prevent the perpetration of the Redpatb fraude, 14 had therefore been guilty of gross negii , en gcaliweiee4 to fender hiM.ptir.onally liable with his colleagues for the losses inflicted on the shareholders. Ha protested against the use of proxies on this occasion, and said he should take means to prevent the using of them if the directors persisted in doing so. Mr. SCOTT proposed an amendment, as a means of amicably settling the question, to the effect that the directors were chargeable with neglect in placing too much confidence in the officials of the company, and the secretary in affixing his signature to the dividend warrants, A 9 presented to him in bundles, without checking the amounts, had been guilty of the grossest negligence,and had afforded a temptation to the commission of crime, and hence the means of precipitating the issue of 219,000/. fraudulent stock, had thereby forfeited the conUence of the shareholders, and ought to be super seded. Mr. LUCK seconded the amendment. Mr. FENWICK defended the conduct of the secretary from the attack that had been made upon him, urging that it would have been impossible for any one to have guarded against the villainy of such an insidious vaga bond al Redpath. Mr. Sergeant WELLS advised the meeting not to adopt a course that would tend to the injury of the railway stock. Ile eulogized the management of the line by the directors, illustrating it by a reference to the weekly receipts amounting to 23,000/. on a capital of 11 millions, greater in proportion than the receipts on any other line. He condemned this attack on the directors, which he said emanated from professional agitators and would-be railway reformers. Mr. WATERS (one of the committee) said that they had done their best to benefit the undertaking. He considered the secretary a truly honest man, but he did not possess sufficient ability for the efficient discharge of the duties of the office. He then referred to the ap pointment of the secretary, alleging that it was owing to the chairman, who made it a condition on his taking office. The SECRETARY—It is not true. It's a falsehood. You never uttered a grosser falsehood. (Cheers.) Mr. WITHERS, after referring to the many officials that had been named as the victims of their wrath, said that probably the "auditors" were as much to blame as any of the officials. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He, however, did not intend to charge them with neglect of duty, but the real party to blame was the unscrupulous forger who had fallen into the hands of the law and been justly punished. It was impossible to get their money back again, and the best thing they could now do was to forget the past, accept the chairman's hand- some apol , gy for anything angry that he might have said, and look forward t 3 the future management of the directors to speedily retrieve their position. He called upon the mover of the motion and amendment to withdraiv them, so as to enable the shareholders to .become a united company for the mutual benefit of all interested. (Cheers.) Mr. J. WILSON (preference shareholder) proceeded to address the meeting, remarking that those who objected to hear what speakers had to say bad better leave the meeting. He called on the shareholders to ask for an explanation of the law charges in connection with the Red path frauds, more especially with reference to the appeal to the Lord Chancellor. The uproar and confusion at this time was very great, two,or those shaolders,spetkingatotz*; Order having been reettred,„ After some finnarks from Mr. J". WILSON, The CHAIRMAN, in reference to remarks that had been made on his personal and written observations, said that he challenged them to find a railway chairman who bad had such strange language used towards him as be had, .and if he had net had the most sincere respect far those whose property was embarked in the undertak ing, and that he was not at liberty to be affronted at those observations, no consideration would have induced bim to remain, as chairman of the board of directory. (Cheers.) He had done his duty to the shareholders and the public, and no taunt or language used as it had been towards him would drive him from the position he then occupied. Lnowing;as he did, that he enjoyed with the directors the confidence of the majority of th e s h are h o ld ers —( e he ( rs)—referring to the motion of c ensure, h e sa id that in February or March last, when M r . G reen i ng was in possession of as many fact s re l at i ve to th e Itedpath fraud as now, he was a candidate for the direc tory, but rejected, and in August he gave notice of the present vote of shareholders. Mr. HVGIIES-But you would not have him as a director. (dear, and cheers.) The CHAIRAIAN—You are right, and that explains the present motion. (Cheers.) Mr. GREENING denied that be was aware of any infor mation relative to the affair until after the report of the committee was issued. The Onernmex then proceeded to defend the conduct of the directors and officials relative to the Redpath defalca. tions, and in doing so gave a history of their proceedings, which has been so often and so fully placed before the public. When the discrepancies were dis covered he informed the secretary that unless they were found out by the next time he came to town, he would put in a new set of clerks, and bottom the thing in spite of them. The consequence was, that the secretary and the assistant took such measures as to discover that there had not been errors but frauds com mitted, and on the following day having satisfied himself they were so, he took the necessary measures for the issue of a warrant against Redpath that led to his apprehension and subsequent conviction and transporta tion. (Hear, hear.) He had no desire to shrink from a vote of censure if the meeting thought the directors deserved it. lie had taken the responsibility on himself, and would take all the chances of the verdict, feeling confident that he might appeal to them and Mr. Greening that the directors' conduct was in this respect blameless. (Cheers.) Mr. GREENING—I must say I think otherwise. (Hisses ) The CHAIRMAN said the meeting might throw as much dirt on him as they pleased, but that would not induce him to throw it on others. He vindicated, as he had done from the first, the conduct of all the officials con nected with the line (except that consummate villain, Redpath) and expressed his belief that they were free from the slightest tinge of fraud. On the part of himself and directors, he should meet the motion of censure with a direct negative, but he asked the mover of the amendment reflecting on the secretary to with draw it. (Hear, hear.) - Mr. SCOTT accordingly withdrew his amendment. ' Mr. CRooxeoN then moved another amendment ex. pressing a vote of confidence in the directors. The CHAIRMAN said that, on the part of the directors, he would rather the second amendment was not put, and, with the permission of the mover and seconder, he would rather not put it. Ultimately the second amendment was also with drawn, and the original motion was put and negatived by a large majority, amidst loud and repeated cheering. Mr. GRIMING declined going to a ballot. This closed the business of the ordinary meeting. It was then made special, to consider the report of the committee appointed in August, and to pass a resolution for discharging the expense incurred by them in pur suing their inquiry, amounting to 566/. Mr. GEISLER, one of the committee, moved resolu tions to that effect-. Mr. Sergeant WELLS objected to the payment of the amount, characterising the affair as a job. The com mittee was ostensibly appointed for investigating the Redpath frauds, but the first 20 pages were devoted to the question of railway policy. That was a difficult ques tion, yet these gentlemen, Messrs. Geisler, m a ii ns , an d Waters, bad thought proper to enter on an investiga tion of a question with which they were incompetent to deal. (Cheers ) The CHAIRMAN objected to the payment on public grounds. lie declined to ask the shareholders to con tribute one farthing towards his answer to it. (Cheers.) Mr. BIALINs intimated that if the amount was not paid ho should endeavour to enforce it in a court of law. Ultimately the resolution for the payment of the committee's expenses vas carried. ..... ...._. - A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors termi nated the proceedings, which commenced at 11 o'clock in the morning, and terminated at 4 o'clock in the after- noon. A meeting of creditors of Messrs. Rose, Higgins, and Rose was held on Monday at Wolverhampton, when a composition of 6s. Bd. in the pound was offered and refused. The liabilities are stated to be 72,5011., and the a.Eets are estimated at 29,4171. It was ultimately decided to place the entate under the bankruptcy law. The following reinforcements, selected from the Ist and 2d battalions at Chatham, will leave that garrison this day and proceed to Portsmouth, where they will embark on board the steamer Leopold to foin the service companies of their respective regi ments in Bengal, Madras, and Bombay,—viz., 7th Royal Fusiliers, 51-rank and file ; 27th Enniskil lens, 16 men of all ranks ; 52dEight Infantry, 12 men ; 61st Regt., 11 men ; 70th Regt., 8 men ; 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers, 16 non-commissioned officers and men ; and 98th Regt., 35 men of all ranks.

Reinforcements" for the 94th Regt., to the number of 21 men, were also ordered to ba held in readiness to embark with the detachments for India, but yesterday an order was received at Chatham cancelling the former order for their embarkation, and directing them to proceed to Plymouth, to join their regiment at that station and proceed with it overland to India. Yesterday the whole of the troops under orders to embark were inspected on the general parade-ground at Chatham Barracks by Col. E len, the commandant of the garrison, the appearance of the men being very satisfactory. Major S. G. Bunbury, commanding the Medical Staff Corps at Chatham, has received alforder di recting him to hold in readiness 30 orderlies, ward masters, and stewards of that corps, who are to proceed to India for - the purpose of being emplOyed 'as assistant dispensers in the military hospitals. Yesterday an Admiralty order was received by Colonel E. A. Parker, commanding the Royal. Marine Light Infantry at Chatham, for the im mediate embarkation of 124 non-commisiened ofli-• cere and men of the Light Infantry companies and 22 men of the Royal Marine Artillery, on board the Renown, 91, Capt. A. Forbes,. with the following officers :—Capt. T. P. Casey, First Lieu tenant.F. Levy, Second Lieutenant H. C. Bowker, and Second Lieutenant G. Hewett. An order was likewise received for First Lieutenant E. Spry, and 20 non-commissioned officers and men to em bark on board the Calypso, 18, fitting for sea at Chatham. The officers and men were immediately inspected by Lieut.-Colonel R. J. and embarked in a very short time after the order was issued. The Goliath, SO, screw steamer, has been taken out of duck at Chatham, and will be fitted with her machinery at Sheerness, after which she will return and be made ready for sea at Chatham. • The Racoon, 21, screw steamer, Captain J. A. Paynter, preparing for sea at Chatham, has been taken into dock for the purpose of having defects made good. The commander's commission at the disposal of Sir M. Seymour, for the reward of the lieutenant who had most distinguished himself in thelate ope rations in the China rivers, has been conferred upon Lieutenant R. V. Hamilton, not Hawkins, as stated yesterday. . . The South Western steamer arrived at Ports mouth yesterday from Jersey, and embarked in the afternoon a portion of the 55th Regiment, which was conveyed from Cowes by the Echo tug. Sho returned to Jersey last night. The Diadem, screw, 31, Capt. Moonom, C. 8., went out of Portsmouth harbour again yesterday, and after running the measured mile at Stokes Bay anchored at Spit head. On this trial she improved in her speed under the influence of the new screw and at a new pitch, having averaged a speed of rather better than 12 knots against wind and tide, royal and topgallant yards across ; force of the wind 5. The Lords of the Admiralty sent down a repri mand to Capt. Fremantle, of the Juno, after the receipt of the minutes of the extraordinary courts martial, held at his instance on three of his officers.

This venerable structure has recently undergone a complete restoration, and has been formally re opened fur Divine service by the Bishop of Sr. David's, the Dean ofLlandaff, and other dignitaries of the Church in Wales, in the presence of the prin cipal inhabitants of the county and neighbourhood. Tile clergy of the diocese Mustered in strong force, and formed a most imposing sight in their proces sion to the altar. The Bishop of St. David's preached in the morning from Gen. chap. x., v. 16, and in the afternoon the new Dean of Llandaff preached a most eloquent sermon, which has excited intense interest throughout the county, taking for his text the 3d and 4th verses of the 24th Psalm. In the evening the curate, the Rev. J. Newman, preached in the most feeling manner, selecting for his text Jeremiah chap. xxxiii., v. 10 and 11. He alluded to the doubts and fears of a few as to the comple tion of the work, and then remarked upon the highly satisfactory manner of its accomplishment, which is mainly to be attributed to the skill of the architects, the Messrs. Habershon, of 38, Bloomsbury-square, London. The amount of the collection at the opening w as u pwards of 1501., leaving still a deficiency of 4061. Mrs. Church Pearce, of Ffrwdgrech, has been by far the greatest contributor to the good work. That lady also pre sented a memorial window—to perpetuate the me mory of her son, John Church Pearce Church, Esq. It represents the Ascension in the centre, and on either side the Raising of the Widow's Son and IJairus's Daughter, the intermediate lights being filled with texts. The Rev. J. Newman, curate of St. Mary's, and' W. L. Banks, Esq., F.S.A. (one of the churchwardens), were the original pro moters of the restoration, and their appeal for sub scriptions was most promptly and liberally re sponded to by the Bishop of St. David's, Colonel Lloyd Vaughan Watkins, M. P. , Lord-Lieutenant of the county ; Col one l an d M rs . Ch urc h P earce , Sir Charles Morgan, Bart., Sir Joseph Bailey, Bart., M.P., Mr. Penry Williams, Chairman of the . Quarter Sessi ons ; th e R ev . Ch ar l es G r iffith, vicar of Talachddu ; Mr. Howell Gwyn, late M.P. for Falmouth, &c. The entire cost of the restoration was 3,0001. The aisles and the Sac rarium are paved with encaustic tiles, and the mag nificent timber roof, hitherto concealed ley ceiling, has been exposed to view. Ths organ has been refitted, and an entirely new set of altar fit ' tings has been provided, comprising a most costly velvet cloth, the finest damask linen, carved oak Gothic chairs, table, and fauld-stools. These, with the altar fittings, were also presented to the church by Mrs. Church Pearce. The Cambrian Arcbreological Society have repeat edly urged the restoration, in preference to the de struction, of this fine old Norman church, which was probably erected late in the 12th century, and must originally have been an extremely diminutive structure, having been lengthened at both ends to give it its present extent. A curious object is pre served in this church, which at present discharges the functions of a font, but which was certai▪ nly not designed for that use. It appears to have been the capital of a respond, but it is of a singular design, and there does not seem any place for it ei▪ ther in this or in any other of the churches in the town. The style appears to be decorated. The round capi tals of a clustered shaft support a square mast with an octagonal one projecting from it, adorned with rich panelling:, ogee arches, with crockets and finials, the latter rising from. the heads of figures holding up their hands. The general restoration has been con sistently carried coat, in the middle-pointed style of an early type, and. the church will now accommo date nearly a thousand worshippers.

To pre serve the electric telegraph posts they were inserted in enormous iron screws, into the hollow of which the poles were inserted. - It struck some ingenious. native to make these into cannon. A hole was drilled near the apex, sometimes some iron bands were put round to increase the strength, the piece was then mounted on a small gun carriage made for the purpose, and' the result was a " tope"—that great instrument of terror to the minds _of the na tives. The plan has met with vast favour, and these guns swarm all over the country. There is no end to the number of cannon now said to be in every one's bands. They are loaded with a rough grape, and are certainly fired. Whether they ever do any execution I cannot say ; they sometimes' burst, but also they are certainly sometimes fired without bursting. I believe the effect is principally moral, but it is a very ridiculous perversion of our most recent progress. To return to our history. On the sth we occupied another district station, Allyghur, where a party of fanatic Mahomedans had the temerity, to make a stand with two real guns of native manufacture, and a park of electric guns. They were dispersed iu a few minutes, when thelierse Artillery galloped up, and very many fugttives were cut up by tile Cavalry. Next morning the Irregular Cavalry made a raid on the head-quarters of two rebel Thakoors, caught them in the act of decamping, and cut them up' with their followers ; after which their town was given up to fire and plunder. So the district of. Allyghur was pretty nearly recovered. Meanwhile the main body of the beaten mutinous army from Delhi, which had made some stay at Muttra and set up a bridge of boats there, had crossed into the Doab, and, consequent on the delay in our progress, we found that they were here two long marches ahead of us. They had 22 guns, but (as we are told) very little ammunition and a vast quantity of plunder. They were in a very con fused and undisciplined state, though their Lumbers were undoubtedly very large. They were under stood to be going, part of them to Bareilly and par t into Oude—to Lucknow and Cawnpore, they said. They showed no disposition whatever to fight us ; on the contrary, the direct road to Bareilly was given up, and they hurried down the Grand Trunk Road in a body. There remained of the regi ments which retreated from Delhi only the Neemuch Brigade (which had formerly attwked Agra). These, under one Beera Singh, de clined to join the others, and they marched to meet the Mhow Brigade, which had never been at Delhi, but, after some stay at Gwalior, had separated from the Gwalior Contingent and crossed the Chumbul to Dholpore, where, they Lai obtained or taken front the Rajah three large brass guns to add to their own field-pieces. The two brigades uniting formed a considerable force, with much cavalry and 13 guns, and they threatened Agra with a second attack. The moveable column was therefore urgently called for, and, making a very long forced march, it wound under the fort, a gal lant spectacle, gladdening the eyes of the long isolated garrison, amid their hearty plaudits. The troops -bivouacked on the cantonment parade ground, awaiting the gradual arrival of their tents and baggage, on that morning of the 10th of Octo ber, and the greater portion of the officers dis persed to see and breakfast with their friends in the fort. Now, Agra, the bead-quarters of the Civil Government and of a crowd of refugees, was full of purveyors of intelligence, official and non-official. There was nothing that happened for a long way round of whic'h 50 safe people had not their own particular and circumstantial intelligence. The military arrangements for guarding against sur prises, stratagems and treacherous enemies were also the most perfect ever knows. The authorities managed to make the lives of their friends tho roughly miserable by the excess of their precau tions. It was impossible to go anywhere or do anything without being harassed out of one's pa tience. Well, on this morning of the 10th fer the first time in the history of beleaguered Agra, all the newsmongera were of one accord—theylhad all cer tain intelligence that the mutineers; after threat ening to cross the small_Kharee river, 10 miles dis tant, had failed to do so, and roireatei,_ and were then six miles on the other side. It wait- also found that they were unable to get the big guns over the river. They wore clearly making off on hearing of the approach of the column. So, friends arrived; enemies flying, an impassable stream between, and military precautions unrivalled, it well might bo that all Agra breakfasted that morning in peace and security, with relieved minds and grateful hearts. But suddenly, while breakfast was in every man's mouth, a big gun was heard, and another, and another, and many more ; people started— "Oh, no ; it must be a salute, though rather irre gular." Still more guns ; then people were seen hurrying from cantonment—the camp was attacked. Yee, so it was. Among their many ingenious pre cautions the Agra authorities had neglected one very simple one—viz., to send some one with his eyes open to look down the road, and the enemy had quietly marched in big guns and all, and there was not one signal of alarm till they actually opened fire on our disordered camp and knocked down several men and horses. Then there was of course a scene of wild confusion. • There was no command and no anything, and camp followers and horses fled in all directions. If the enemy's cavalry and infantry had been' pushed in the result might have been most disastrous, but, native like, they first waited to see the effect of their big guns. That delay was fatal to them. Our guns got into action, our cavalry mounted, and when 1 galloped up to the ground we were returning their fire. Then their cavalry did charge right into the parade in a great " gol." But they were too late. They took a detached and disabled gun for a moment, and they were so completely among us that the artillery could not fire on them. But the tired Sikhs sating on the ground formed square with the utmost coolness, and fired well into them. The Lancers were ready, and charged them as the Lancers can charge. They were broken and de feated ; yet some of them did actually sweep right round the camp and cantonments, and created such a panic among the general population as scarce was seen—every one riding over every one else in the most indiscriminate manner ; in fact, there never was and never will be so complete a surprise. But by this time commanding-officers had come on the field, and every arm was in action. Our artillery fought nobly—in fact all did ; and though it was some time before we could find exactly where we were and where the enemy was, and they attacked on three sides at once, eventually they were repulsed and began to retreat. In fact, I think it must be that in sur prising us they surprised themselves. They could hardly have known what they were attacking, or surely they would have made a better stand. Once they were repulsed it was all over with them. After the charge their cavalry never showed but in the distance. As soon as they were clearly in retreat we followed, and before we had gone very far they had abandoned their three big guns, and their re treat approached to a flight. Here was enough for a moderate man. Our troops, it might be fairly said, had had enough of it ; a halt was ordered. But another sort of men came into play in the right place. At Agra, the command was taken by Briga dier Cotton, called " Gun Cotton." He would not halt, and pushed on with fortunate dash. Speedily the enemy were completely dispersed and routed, and they hardly returned our fire. Their infantry merely showed at the edges of the fields and then fled through them. Soon we found and took their camp, then we came on their baggage, which they gradually abandoned. Our Horse Artillery from time to time galloped up and opened fire ; then that became unnecessary, and small bodies of cavalry continued the chase. Eventually 10 or 12 well-mounted officers, made everything fly film the road, while the cavalry hunted up the fugitives on either side. Never was dispersion more complete. All the guns (13),,,and the baggage were taken, and no six of the infantry went away together. Those who saved themselves did so by hiding in the high fields, and they were no doubt numerous. There was, in fact, au end of the Mhow and Neemuch brigades, excepting the fugitive cavalry, and, after a ten-mile chase, the troops returned to relieve Agra. Ifte Sikh cavalry behaved admirably. The state of things is now this : there is no open armed opposition of any considerable forces north of the Chambal. In Gwalior, the Maharajah still keeps aloof from the mutineers with his own troops and some of the Contingent whom he has gained over, including, I believe, most of the cavalry. Of infantry, the mutinous Contingent h ave now but four regiments, but they havea very lark e artillery—about 30 field-pieces and a magazine and third-class siege train. Though they have often threatened to attack Agra, they have not done so, and have throughout followed a separate policy of their own. They are now paid to be about to march Our readers - will learn with much regret the death of Lieutenant. Philip Salkeld, of the - Bengal Engineers, who recently displayed such daring and gallantry in firing the siege train at the Cashmere gate of Delhi. He gradually sunk under the wounds which he received on that occasion, and died at Delhi about the 10th of October. ••Philip Salkeld was a Dorsetshire man by con nection and parenta ge . Hi s father was the Rev. R. Salkeld, who was some years ago resid en t a t Servan, lie et Vilaine, and hi s son was born on the 13th of Oct.; 1830, so that at the time of his death he had only just completed the 27thyear of his age. He obtained his nomination to the service from the late Mr. William Aston, father of one of the pre sent directors of the East India Company, and .received his early education at the Royal Military College of Addiscombe, where he was se l ec t e d f or the Engineers in 1847, and presented at the same time with the highest prizes in mathe matics and French. On quitting Addiscombe he went to the Royal Engineer establishment at Chat ham, where he remained for nearly two years study ing the theory of engineering and fortification. He quitted that institution in January, 1850, and ar rived at Calcutta in the following June, when he joined the , corps of Sappers and Miners. In June, 1853, he was selected to officiate as executive engi neer at Meerut, and in the following November was transferred to the charge of the Grand Trunk road, on which he was continually employed down to December last, when he succeeded to the office of executive engineer of the Delhi division. Ho joined the force before Delhi shortly after the death of General Anson , and was specially thanked by General Sir Archdale Wilson for his daring exploit in blowing open the Cashmere-gate —an operation equally difficult and dangerous, and for which he was rewarded on. the spot with. the Victoria Cross. We deeply regret that the name of so able intre pid, and promising an o ffi cer as, Lieut. Salkeld should have been added to the already long list of those who have paid their lives as the price of sup pressing the Indian mutiny and of re-establishing our Indian empire on what, we trust, will prove even a firmer basis than before. HEALTH OP LONDON DURING TBB WEEK. (From Wte Report of the Registrar General.) The sickness which is now so generally diffused throughout the metropolitan population continues to develope itself in a high rate of mortality. The deaths registered in London, which rose in the pre vious week to 1,382, were of nearly equal amount in the week that ended last Saturday (Nov. '2B), the number having been 1,373. In the 10 years 1847-56 the average number of deaths in the week corresponding with last week was 1,183. But .the deaths of last week occurred in an increased popu lation, and with the view of comparison the average must be raised in proportion to the increase, in which case it will become 1,301. It appears, there fore, that the deaths now returned exceed by 72 the number which the average rate of mortality, as ascer tained for the close of Nov., would have produced, At this period in 1847 influenza began to be very prevalent, and in a population which was not se great as it is now the deaths from all causes rose to 1, 677. The births registered last week exceeded the deaths in the same period by 227. In this return the number of cases in which in fluenza is recorded under its specific designation is only 13 ;in the previous week it was nine. The epidemic has certain distinguishing features ; and in all cases where medical attendants observe it, either as the primary disease, or as supervening on pulmonary or other complaints, it is important that it should be specially mentioned by that name which is both popular and scientific. It deserves to be noticed that the deaths referred to diseases of the respiratory organs, which class does noti nc l u d e . . phtlusis in the tables, , were precisely the same nu merically as those in the same class in the previous week—the number in•each case having been 390. This number eiceeds the corrected average of 10 weeks cnrropcmling with last week by 102. Of the 390, by far the lar i at proportion arose from bronchitis—namely, 217 deaths, which are thus distributed according to the ages at which they oc curred :-75 occurred in the period from birth to 20 years, only 5 between 20 and 40 years, 33 in the period 40-60, 87 at 60-80, and 17 at 80 years and upwards. But to correctly estimate the widely different degrees in which bronchitis is fatal in dif ferent stages of life it is evident that these numbers must be compared with the numbers living at the several periods. In the last four weeks the deaths from bronchitis increased or decreased in the following numbers :- 116, 152, 227, and 217 ; pneumonia, 115, 108, 127, and 143 ; whooping cough, 40, 45, 53, and 58 ; pbthisis, 137, 151, 159, and 171. The deaths of six nonagenarians and one centena rian are included in the returns. Among the former are two women whose respective ages were 95 and 96 years. The most advanced in life was a man who died in Trafalgar-road, Greenwich, said to have been 100 years old. Of 43 cases in which scarlatina was fatal four oc cured in the sub-district of St. John's, Westminster, and also four in that of Lambeth Chureh (2d part). A child died of starvation, a verdict of manslaugh ter having been recorded in this case.; and a cros• sing-sweeper also perished from starvation. A man who had been employed by a farrier died from glanders. Last week the births of 803 boys and 797 girls, in all 1,600 children, were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1847- 56 the average number was 1,487. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.575 in. The instrument fell from 36.18 in. at the beginning of the week to 29.69 in. on Tuesday, the lowest point in the week. Ile mean temperature of the week was 41.6 deg., which is 04 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as deter mined by Mr. Glaishei). The highest reading of the thermometer was 55.8 deg. on Monday ; and the lowest 30.5 deg., which occurred on Wednes day. The mean daily range of the week was 13.4 deg. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and the mean air temperature was P 9 deg. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 45.9 deg. The wind on the first three days was in the south and south-west; after wards it was mostly in the north-east. The amount of rain measured was 0.78 in., most of which fell on Tuesday. The first snow this winter fell on the morning of Thursday in largo flakes. MORTALITY IN TIIE METROPOLIS.
