The proceedings of the court will be submitted to the Commander-in-Chief before they are published. The Thursday evening two companies of the sth Fusiliers from Jersey, comprising 150 men and 7 officers, under the command of Captain W. Lyons, marched into Colchester camp and were united to the third depot battalion. Two other companies, at present at Chatham, are ordered to join the de pot at this station preparatory to the formation of a second battalion. This makes the strength of the garrison about 90 officers and 2,000 non-commis sioned officers and men.

I am in hopes that we may be entitled to some extra batta, for we have htd very hard fighting, and I hope we shall meet with some reward." ness and devotion, and the little boy seemed to have the greatest affection for the gray headed old man on whose shoulder he was perched. I took them into my picket and gave them a good break fast, and then passed them into camp as quickly as I could, as I had an alarm of cavalry in the neigh bourhood. They had scarcely left when one of nay videttes came galloping up to say that a large force was at both the bridges I had to patrol, and I had just turned out and mounted my picket when I received a despatch from camp informing me that a very large force of artillery, cavalry, and infantry had left the city in the direc tion of the canal, and directing me to watch their movements. A troop of the Guides came up at the moment under a young fellow named Craigie, and taking them with me I galloped off to see what was going on. On reaching my advanced picket I left him there with the troop, and went off wiih 25 men to reconnoitre. On nearing the first bridge I found a large body of infantry lining the banks of the canal on our side, and a considerable force estab lished in a walled garden on the road. I rode on to see if I could make out what the rascals were at, but they opened such a heavy fire of musketry that I gave it up. I watched their movements for some time, and rode on towards the second bridge, about two miles further up the canal. The bank between the two;bridges was crowded with infantry, and they had a party of about 100 cavalry in• front of the second bridge. During the whole time it was raining cats and dogs.' I returned, to my ad vanced picket to write a report to the General, and found Hodson with a troop of the Irregulars there to reinforce me. IJtold him all about it, and he rode into camp to give my report, as it was impoAsible to write one, for the rain came down in torrent.. M'Donall, whom you all know, was with his troop, he was doing duty with Hodson's corps, and we looked like a couple of drowned rats. We tried to light our pipes under shelter of the peak of our hel mets, but could not. I then started off for the bridge a second time, and at M'Donall's earnest request allowed him to accompany me. We got up to the Serai and found that the enemy were crossing, and had evidently found the day too juicy. We saw them across, and then went towards bridge No. 2. I saw some infantry in a garden, and can tered on to have a nearer look at thorn, when all of a sudden down comes my horse up to his chest in a buffalo hole. The whole country was a sheet of water, so the poor beset could not see what he was going at. He struggled and got his fore feet in the sides of the hole, but in making an effort to scramble up he reared and fell back on me, rolling clean over me. The pommel of the saddle and both of my holster pistols cru.hed my left side and completely knocked the wind out of me. How ever, I got up, shook myself, and satisfying myself that no bones were broken, I flattered myself I was all right. . _ Wonai, about 12 miles from the river, and we promptly attacked them, and licked them in our usual style—only 7,000 of em ;' and that night we had another affair about seven miles further on, at a place called Busarut Gunji, and on that day cap tured 21 guns. lam sorry to say that the enemy managed to recover two of them. Our loss was rather heavy that day, and the General fell back on this place the following day —I fancy for reinforce ments and more ammunition ; three guns came in this morning, and 60 of the 84th, b u t our l osses have been very serious for so small a force. " The enemy are now in position with 23 guns, many of very heavy calibre, at Raj Gunge, having blown up a bridege and made themselves very strong. I fear it will be a bloody affair crossing this river. We (the Fusiliers) have already lost two officers, and another is very dangerously wounded. Our Colonel (Niell) has been made a brigadier-general for his services, and now commands Cawnpore. Our senior major was killed at Oung, at least he shortly after died of his wound, and the regiment is now commanded by the junior major. I will not dwell on all the horrors and outrages committed by the rebels at the various stations wherh they have mu tinied ; suffice it to say that no such acts of trea chery, villany, and barbarity stain the page of the history of any country. It is now war to the knife with every Mussulman in the country, and every sepoy of any creed, against Europeans and all Christians. I have just heard that we are to march to-morrow morning. If we manage to get to Luck now and back it will be one of the most wonderful feats of arms that have ever been aceomplished." Thus, a holder of a 3;6 per Cent. Promissory Note for 10,000 rupees willreceive a promissory note of 5 per cent. for 25,000 rupees on delivery of his 3;6 per Cent.

The parties concerned in getting it up were large land owners in the district, to whom most of the land about BaiOol belongs, who frequently visited us. They are now imprisoned under charge of our Sepoys, who of course have no favourable feelings tswards them on hearing that they were to be in cluded in the murdering. Our affairs do not appear to look up much as yet, and we are all anxiety for the arrival of the European regiments from home. Hitherto the Madras and Bombay Sepoys have re mained faithful, but I fear that unless before long something decisive is done we shall have some trouble to maintain our power in India. The natives generally have an idea that our role in India will be extinct shortly. Of course until matters begin to mend they will be confirmed in their opinion.

It Is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with.: out Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and howthe evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physlcil infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot haply a cure.

The following is from an officer in the Engineers " Camp Delhi, Aug. 8. " My dear Father,—l think you hardly know our present position. It is a pretty mess John Company :gas got himself into. After all it is only what one .might have expected, considering how the Sepoys were treated. Anything that they objected to was g iven up at once. The greatest care was always to be taken not to offend them. It was against their caste to do this, that, or the other, and unless they chose they never did do it. They declared it vas utterly impossible for them to use the Enfield cartridges, yet they have shot down many a poor fellow of ours with these very car tridges. It doer not seem to be against their caste now. We are very anxious to see how people at home take all this. They say we ought to know more of our men, be more with them, &c. With European soldiers an officer always goes into their barracks, looks at their dinners, plays cricket with the men, and of course comes to know them. That is simply a consequence of their both being Europeans. To do the same with Sepoys we must turn kliadoos or something of the sort, for under existing circumstances you might be ' court martialed' for going near a Sepoy while he is feeding —as that takes away his caste. Going into his hut is perfect profanation, or perhaps sacrilege ; neither may you touch any of his cooking materials or uten sils, or even the wood he is going to cook with. They had become so pampered that they would hardly stand being spoken to. If after all this we aro obliged to have Sepoys again I hope they will be a different lot and treated in a very different manner. They have proved themselves thorough curs. They can murder helpless women and children bravely, but a handful of armed Europeans frighten them outright, and they always have avoided places where perhaps 30 or 40 armed Europeans have been col lected. Look, for instance, at Roorkee. The 100 soldiers (college students) there have kept all that part of the country quiet, and Roorkee itself is un touched. At Delhi they are five or six to one against us, and see the miserable attempts they made to turn us out of our position. They have swarmed up the heights in front of our batteries by thousands. The ground is so broken and full of ravines and rocks that they can come up the whole way unseen, or you may depend upon it they would never ven ture. If they had the pluck of a goose their numbers might terrify us, but they never come near us, and ally show themselves off at a distance, firing their muskets into the air, shouting most awfully, but doing nothing more. It is in the Subzee Mundee' that all the hard fighting goes on. They get into, and on the tops of houses, and fire into our pickets there. This goes on until we send a force from camp to turn them out, which we invariably do, but not without some loss. We have now cleared the ground all round of the trees, walls, and. houses. The con sequence is, there is a large space around our pickets, and Paudy' will not venture out of cover, a we let him pop away from a distance until ho is tired. If you hear people talking of our net being able to take Delhi, you must deny it, simply because we have dot made any attempt to do so. I have no doubt, too, that it is the best policy, for while there is a Delhi to slink to, all the rebels will flock there ins' eau of running wild about the country, where they would do much more harm. Besides, we shall have them all in a lump and be able to polish them off at once. We, I mean our pariicular corps, have had very bard work since it left Meerut. We have lost 3 officers and had 2 wounded, and out of 45 European Sappers we have lost 15 and 3 wounded. 'flea list of officers killed and wounded before Delhi amounts to upwards of 90, besides those who have been obliged to leave on account of sickness. This shows the officers have not been behindhaud in any fight or scrimmage. I think I never told you how splendidly the ladies behaved at Meerut. You should have seen them to appreciate the whole thing—how cheerfully they took every mishap. Though they were all packed within a smallish square place surrounded by high brick walls, none of them ever grumbled or apparently became fright ened. On the contrary, they used to be dancing about the place (we were at work fortifying it), offering us tea and all sorts of refreshment. It was warm work looking after the coolies who ware taken as sappers, all the originals having gone off to Delhi. The rains have regularly set in now, all the low ground about Metcalfe's house is flooded. A siroug stream new runs in the Jumna, and we are _going to take advantage of it and try to destroy the bridge of boats. Several methods have been talked of. Yesterday we started three infernal machines, con sisting of a tub containing 501 b. of gunpowder ; a piece of stick was stuck up outside, which, if it came in contact with anything, tired a pistol inside. We made a boat, also, and started them as near as possible in the middle of the stream. One went off on an island in the river and did nobody any harm ; anotherlwas stranded and didn't go off at all ; and nobody knows what became of the third. So our first attempt must be considered *failure. I hope we may do better next time. We have been raising a corps of Sikh Sappers and Miners. Some of the companies have already arrived here, but they are not of much use, as they are quite un trained. As it is, all our work is done with coolies, whom we have dignified with the name of pioneers. Among the houses at this station were a few fiat-roofed ones which were saved in the general conflagration. In one of these we have established ourselves very comfortably. Au old wooden billiard table forms our mess table. We have managed to loot a punkah, and are much better off than those who live in tents, while our park is in the next compound. Lord Ellenborough was not very far out when he said in the House that if we didn't mind what we were about, we should have one of the most bloody revolutions in India. We are all very happy here, only a little anxious to get into Delhi and have a real slap at the Pandies.' You may be assured they will catch it when the assault does take place." The following is from an Artillery officer : " Camp, Delhi, Aug. 10. " We are in much the same state as when I last wrote. The last reinforcement from up-country, consisting of 1,400 more Eurcpeans, will be in in about a week, and then we do not know whether the assault will take place at once, or whether we shall wait for Sir Patrick Grant. I hope we may, as I should not like to punish these villains by halves. Our men are mad to get at them. We have been very much annoyed by their guns lately ; they have taken up a new position on the right, which completely enfilades several of our batteries. An expedition, in which I was to have had two guns, was in orders, but was countermanded as the ground is excessively bad, and they are afraid our loss would be very heavy. For the last three or four days we have had very heavy firing on both sides. We expend 100 rounds per gun, and you can imagine how they blaze away when the day before yesterday 450 round shot were picked up which they had fired. Two or three days ago 50 maunds of their powder blew up in the city. There has been much discussion in consequence, as they have accused the Prime Minis ter of having been concerned in it, and have got him prisoner. I continue very well, except a bad earache, which comes on from being exposed at night, as . the dew is very heavy, and we have no shelter. However, we ought not to complain. The horse artillery duties are light compared with those of the foot ; out of 157 men fit for duty we have 130. always on, so you can f ancy w h at wor k they have with the heavy guns day and night: The engineers have been trying to blow up the bridge of boats with infernal machines, but at pre sent have been unsuccessful, and I don't see that w e gain much if we do destroy a boat or two, as the river is so low they can easily repair it. I believe the city will be given up to three day's plunder. I fear it will make our Europeans very undisciplined. Heaven knows they are hard enough to control here, but when they have once gone in like bloodhounds, and been allowed to plunder they will be downright demons,—after the way in which the 6th behaved at Allahabad, em bracing their officers, assuring them over and over and over again of their fidelity, and with tears en treating them to trust in them, till the officers thought they might rely on men with whom they had been so long, and did so, and the result was they cut them all up in the night-26 of them, and some mere boys who had been doing duty with them. I'm sick of writing of massacres. The papers will give you circumstances I do not remember well enough to detail myself. At Peshawur, I am happy to say all is as yet quiet, but I am very much afraid to hear bad news, more especially of the 7th Irregulars who were mutinously inclined. A good many of my friends are lying close here in their graves and several gone away sick. As long as you keep well and get shelter I think the weather is very pleasant, much more so than I ever imagined the weather could be in the rains, as at P es h awur this is the hottest and most trying season in the year. I fear this is a very uninteresting letter from a place - where the eyes of Europe aro concentrated, but it will make you " Camp before Delhi, July 27. " My wife will have told you of my having come down to this army to see service. As I had nothing to do at Jullundur, and as it was more than one's temper could stand to be kicking one's heels idle when service such as we are not likely to see again was going on here, I offered my services to General Nicholson and gained permission to join this force. I had, as I told you, raised a squadron of Sikhs at Jullundur, and the day after I had obtained leave to be off I received a telegraphic message from Sir J. Lawrence that I might take my squadron with me if I thought them fit to go. I paraded them, and selected 30'of the best riders, and we marched off the same night to Phillour, 25 miles. We reached Umballah on the Bth, and should have been here on the 14th, but were detained at Kur naul to escort ammunition into camp. We reached this on the 18th, and I was at once ordered to do duty with the 9th Lancers, being posted to Drys dale's troop. My Sikhs were made over to the civil authorities, and I am glad to hear are doing good work at Taneeput b stween this and Kurnaul. On bhe 19th we had a fight, but we were not engaged ; on the 20th Brigadier Grant, who commands the Cavalry Brigade, attached me to the Guide Cavalry, at which I am rouch pleased, as they are undeniably the best cavalry in camp—see, and I may say do everything. On the following day Charles S— came to me and said that the Adju tant-General had requested him to ask me if I would accept the command of the Jheena Rajah's troops. At first I declined, but S-- told me that it was a compliment offering it to me ; that Chamberlain had said that he regretted he had not a regiment to give me ; and, in fact as the post is a responsible one I accepted it, and made arrange ments to leave with Charles S-- the same night. However, Brigadier Grant heard that I was off, and went to the Adjutant-General to protest against my being sent, as he said he could not spare cavalry officers, so here I am with my ruffians, and very glad too. Our men are consummate scoundrels, but fight right well ; they have but one fault, they are difficult to hold. On the 22d the enemy at tacked our left, and I was ordered out with a sque drop to reinforce the near picket. I had not been there long when I rec 'ived an order to go to the front to support the column going out to repulse the attack. I was placed at the front of the ridge which runs in front of our camp, with orders to remain there until I received fur; .her orders. I saw the whole of the fight from tee Flagstaff battery, which commands a splendid view of the city and ground between it and our camp. I was anxiously expecting an order to move ou, but no such order s arrived. The fire was very he av y, an d th e i r roun d and shell came bowling th roug h an d over our troops, followed as they neared the city by grape, but not much clamaga was done. Soon the musketry began to slacken, and in half an hour the troops began to retire. Our 1083 was very heavy in offi cers. Coe -- inert illy wounded, and five more officers woun led. The Infantry got up to within 30 yards of the enemy's guns, six of which they had brought out to the front, but our fellows were pulled up by a brick wall and so had to retire. Th ey now for the first time make proper use of Light Cavalry, and we Guides gets lots of work. On the 23d of June the enemy got into our rear by cross ing the Jumna Canal, some miles from our camp. To prevent a repetition of this came we have blown up all the bridges fur miles up the canal. We now give a picket in rear ot our camp t 4 watch thebridges, and give speedy intelligence of any attempt on the part of the enemy to repair them. The officer patrols this three times a day, and as the dis tance round is 11 miles he gets a ride of 33 miles a day. I was on this picket a few days ago, and did a good stroke of business. On the opposite side of the canal, close to the bridge which it was stated was to be repaired, is a village, theenen of which I heard gave information of our movements to Delhi. I had reason to suspect the enemy had a picket there, so in the early morning I crossed some of my men over by a ford, marched into the village, and captured four out of six of the head men of the village. I took them off to my picket, and kept one of them, telling the others he was to he relieved next day by one of themselves ; that they were to give daily information of the enemy's movements in that direction ; that if they did so they should be rewarded, but if they played us false that I would hang their hostage. This has had a good effect, and we now get information from the other side of the canal. I am on the picket duty again to-night. We are anxiously awaiting reinforce ments, as nothing ern be done until we get them. Nicholson, with 4,000 men is expected on the 15th, and Lawrence with a large force of Sikhs will follow him. " This has been a fearful business, and the loss of European_ life something frightful. The awful atrocities committed on our poor unhappy women and children tan never be forgotten. We muse have blood. The streets of Delhi will be a fearful sight. Our men are mad for revenge, and there is not a soul who does not feel the same thirst for the blood of these ruffians. Three months ago I could not have looked on and seen 15 men tied up and shot down in cold blood without sickening, but I now see my men do this in a most brutal way without a qualm. At a village on the Kurnaul road a poor little child's feet were found ; they had its little shoes and socks on, and some Devil in human form had cut them of with a tulwar. What death can be too cruel for such wretches ? We are much exposed, always ahead, and have already lost an immense number of officers in the Guides, and I fully expect to get a wound or two, but it will make me all the more interesting ! Poor young Battye was killed at the head of my troop. My senior native officer is a vezy gallant fellow, and has distinguished himself on every occasion. I have been very much gratified by a most kind let ter from my commanding officer after leaving the regiment. _ _ "Chalmers, who has been wounded by a shell, leaves to-night, as he wants a change of air. Wounds cannot heal well in this wet weather. We have had cholera in camp. Three officers died in one day, but there have been fewer cases during the last few days. Our heavy batteries have just commenced their fire again, and the city guns are replying. I should not be surprised if they attack us this afternoon, and - we are all ready for them. There are seven ladies now in Delhi. This is hor riblegto think of." "Camp before Delhi, Aug. 9. "Since writing to you last I have been on my back for eight days. I will tell you how it all hap pened. You must know that for some time past the enemy have been on the lookout to attack our rear, but to do this it was necessary to repair at least one of several bridges over the canal which divides us from them, which said bridges we had blown up. On receiving intelligence of their in tention we sent out a cavalry picket to watch the canal, and to give speedy information of any at tempt they might make to cross. This picket was given to us as a post. of honour, and it required a little gilt to makeit a pleasant duty, as the officer on picket had to visit the bridge three times every day, besides riding to certain villages in the vicinity to collect information, and before night the officer l on duty had ridden his 33 miles. I was on this picket on the 31st of July, and had come b ac k If rom my first patrol when, on reaching one of my videttes, he told me that he had just passed a European woman with two children escorted by some natives into my picket. I can t ere d on vanildlagoevrse,rtoioleok a country car t escorted b y some of whom carried a poor little boy about four years old on his shoulder. In the cart I found a nice looking young woman with a little infant. The poor creature seem e d over j oye d to see an was the wif e o f a M r. N un, son of the ridingmaster of the Ist Ca va l r y. H er h us b an d m European e was employed in the Cust oms ' d epartment at a that she face, and, i n answer to my inquiries, told place near Guzagon. When the outbreak at Delhi took place he was in the district with Ford, of the Civil Service. Guzagon went with other stations, and this unhappy woman was by herself, without a European near tier. The instant the people of the village nearest her house heard that parties of Se poys were coming in their direction they carried off Mrs. Nun, with her children, and concealed them in their village. Parties of horsemen ar rived and inquired for her, and on being told that she had gone off plundered and burnt her house. To make a long story short, these poor fellows, at the risk of their lives, kept this unhappy family for three months, feeding and clothing them, and hurrying them off to other villages whenever they heard of the approach of any parties of the muti neers. I must tell you that the insurgents offered 100 rupees reward for Mrs. Nun, dead or alive, but nothing would tempt these simple ryots to betray their trust ; and, finally, having seized an oppor tunity, they brought her safely into camp. The poor woman spoke most gratefully of their kind " I wrote the above yesterday, but felt so tired after it, I was obliged to desist. I almost forget whore I was. Well, after my fall we p'odded ou to wards the second bridge, and found it occupied by a very large force of artillery, cavalry, and infantry. Unfortunately my glass, the ono I brought out, and a capital one it is, hid got half fall of vcat.3r, and was perfectly useless, so I could not reconnoitre them as closely as I wished. We turned homeward:, and on reaching the picket I was traly rejoiced to see my relief waiting for me. I was dead beat, having been in the saddle for 14 hours, having rid don upwards of 36 miles, and exposed to drenching rain the greater part of the time, with nothing to eat, and no smoke. I cantered home to camp to the Brigadier, and he gave me half a tumbler of cherry brandy, which warmed me consi ierably. I cantered home, feeling quite comfortable, and be yond a slight aching in my side I should not have known that I had come to grief. I got dry clothes and dined with Stewart, the Guides doctor, who was the onlTone at home. . . . No chance of taking this place for some time io come. Rein forcements march towards u', but they never seem to got nearer. It will, indeed, be glorious when we rout and slay these treacherous, cowardly hounds. They will be hunted down like wild beasts, and it is to be hoped few will escaoe. You in England can never know or hear one-half of the atrocities committed by these savaged, for they are too abominable ever to repeat, much less to publish. We must have an enormous army to settle this country, and where is anew Indian army to spring from I' . . . M. is dead, but I don't think I shall get my captaincy, as all promotion is said to be stopped. This is, indeed, hard. I can give you no i.ccount of camp, for I feel tired and weak, and writing on one's back is tedious and slow work. In a few days I shall be in my saddle again. The following is from an officer serving in the Ist Madras Fusiliers:— " Camp Murragurwar, Oude, Aug. 4. " You already know that I embarked with my regiment (Ist Madras Fusiliers) for Persia, but was recalled—peace having been declared. While we were at Bombay intelligence was received that two regiments werein open mutiny at Calcutta ; this we all knew meant that the army of Bengal was going to rise at last, and many were the small wagers won and lost as to whether our destination would be Bengal or China. " Orders were at last received that we were to return forthwith to Madras, and on our arrival we found that we were destined to garrison Bangalore (also her Majesty's 43d regiment, Madras), but that owing to the cholera which was raging along the whole road it was not considered advisable to effect the relief for a short time ; a month elapsed, and the awful news of the Meerut and Delhi massacres, and an urgent demand for troops, reached Madras at 12 o'clock at night on Saturday, the 16th, or Sunday morning. " I was awoke by our bugle sounding- all over the fort for orderly sergeants, and I knew that the route had arrived for field service, though I had not heard of the requisition for aid having been received dur ing the night. " Shortly after daylight my Miler-in-law came to my quarters and told me the state of affairs, and that our corps was to be ready to embark for Cal cutta by 10 o'clock a.m. It so happened that I was a member of a general court-martial, and was ordered to remain behind and proceed with six others of ours to Calcutta by the next mailsteamer. " I arrived at Calcutta on the 2d Juno, and found that my corps had proceeded to Benares. I fol lowed them up by the grand trunk road, and reached Benares in four days, just a few hours too late to witness the utter defeat of the 37th Regi ment, the 12th Irregular Cavalry, and a regiment of Sikhs, by 200 of her Majesty's 10th, 30 of ours, and two guns. The morning I arrived some 300 of ours came in by river steamers, &c., and that afternoon we started (130 of us) for Allahabad, in hopes of starting in time to save the fort from the 6th Regiment and Ist Oude Cavalry. The deed was done. I remained in Allahabad until the arrival of enough troops to form a column strong enough to advance to the relief of Cawnpore and Lucknow, both which places were being gallantly defended by a handful of Europeans.. General Havelock, C. 8., arrived to command this column, which consists, or rather consisted, of 400 Fusiliers, 300 78th Highlands, 400 of the 64th, and about 300 of the 84th, some 60 artillerymen (Royal Ar tillery from Ceylon), about '7O officers and staff sergeants that had escaped various massacres, mounted as Irregular Cavalry. and a regiment of Sikhs, which have hitherto remained staunch ; these constituted the little army that started from Alla habad to settle the North-Western Provinces of India and Oude. "On the 12th of July we fought the rebels at Futteypore and thrashed them in four hours, after a 24-mile march in the sun—they were about 4,000 strong, and we took 11 guns from them. Two days after we had a smart affair with them at Oung, our regiment capturing two guns. We halted for some food after the action, and after having marched about five miles found them in possession of some rising ground beyond a river, the bridge of which was commanded by two long 241 b. iron siege guns in position. The Fusiliers were again in front, and took the bridge with a rush and spiked the guns. That night we heard that Cawnpore had really fallen ; we had heard at Futteypore rumours of the sad event, but we hoped that it might be a ruse of the enemy to make us fall back to Allahabad. We pushed on, and on the 16th fought the battle of Cawnpore, when we thrashed 7,000 of the rebels aided by ,several thousand city scamps and others armed with matchlocks. This was an awful day's work, and that night we slept at our arms, expecting hourly that they would again commence the action ; but they had bad enough, and at daybreak the following morning days blew up the magazine and retired. Two after the Fusiliers proceeded to Bithoor, and cap tured without resistance 21 guns. Up to the 26th we were all busily engaged, crossing guns and mate rial ever to the Oudo country, with a view of ad vaucing to Lucknow to relieve the garrison, which, under poor Sir H. Lawrence, has so gallantly de fended itself for so long. He, poor man, died from the effects of a wound on the 4th of July, but the garrison, I am proud to say, still bo!ds out against an attack of 40,000 men and some 40 and 50 guns. On the 29th we found our friends in position at MANCHESTER, OCT. 2. STOCK EXCIIANGE.—The market was very activo to-day, with improved prices. It was weaker, however, at the close.

The counties will be given separately, and, when large, divided. Within the first four mouths, India will be more accurately and completely delineated, in a series of nine maps, than in any British Atlas. The names of the art:sts will be the best guarantee for perfect accuracy. The engravings will be in the highest style of art, involving a cost of many thousands of pounds. Mechanics' Institutes, Educational Establishments, Hotels, Reading-rooms, and Coffee-houses will, in p ,- sse.sing the Dispatch Atlas, be supplied with a daily want. The Dispatch Atlas will be forwared gratis, with the paper, at the usual price —sd. per copy', or 6d. stamped. The Friday Evening Edition may be received in the most distant parts of the kingdom on Saturday morning.—Office, 139, Fleet-street. London. The merchant screw steamer Marley Hill, Capt. Jones, fromPatras, Sept. 15th, and Gibraltar, 25th, which went into Plymouth on Thursday morning, reports having passed near the Eddystone, at half palt 3 o'clock, a large screw steam-ship, apparently a transport, bound down Channel. The magnificent iron screw transport Due do Brabant, of 1,960 tons burden and 500-horse power, fitted out for the accommodation of 650 troops, arrived at Woolwich yesterday morning from the Victoria Docks to embark stores, ammunition, and a portion of the Artillery for India (the D troop), whence she will proceed to Portsmouth and receive the remainder of her passengers and some troops of the line. The 'Due de Brabant was built by Messrs. John Cockerell and Co., of Soraing, near Liege, in Belgium, and is about to be purchased by the Transatlantic Steam Navigation Company, after which she is to be named the Prince Albert. Gen. 'Williams and staff made an inspection of the vessel immediately on her being secured alongside the arsenal pier and expressed himself extremely satisfied with the accommodation. He also re marked with much satisfaction the numerous ad vantages which modern-built ships afford, such as the well-ventilated berths and airy and comfortable saloon and lofty decks, &c. This will be her first voyage. Her speed, which has been tested in two trial trips from Gravesend, was rated at 16 knots per hour without the use of her canvas. Her length over decks is 300 feet, with 38 feet over the beams, and 7 feet iu height between the decks. The Southampton, of similar build, constructed at Amsterdam by Messrs. Paul von Flushing and Dudoe von Heel, left the Victoria Docks also yes terday on a trial trip. The Leopold 1., a sister vessel to the above, and built by Mebsrs. Cockerell and Co., and which has performed three successful voyages, yesterday morn ing entered Pritchard's dock at Northfieet to be supplied with a new propeller, and is likewise about to be purchased by the Transatlantic Company. A court-martial assembled yesterday on board her Majesty's ship St. Vincent, ordinary guardship at Portsmouth, to try Mr. T. Udell, third-class assistant engi neer , borne on the books of the Blen heim, for disob e di ence o f or d ers i n no t j o i n i ng h er Majesty's steam troop-ship Vulcan, and allowing her to proceed to sea without him. The. charge was fully proved, but in defence of his conduct the pri soner pleaded illness. The Court found the charge proved, and sentenced him to be severely repri manded, and not to be confirmed in his present rank for 18 months. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty : Assistant Paymaster Edward 0. Hayes to the Fi.gard. Master's Assistant—John T. Gowlland (additional) to the Ganges. Secretary's Clerk—E. I'. Nicholson to the Fiegard. THE MILITIA. The Royal South Middlesex Militia assembled at Hounslow yesterday morning, mustering on the first day 600 volunteers. Colonel Scriven, having formed square, thanked his men for coming up so punctually and in such numbers. He congratu lated them on being one of the few regiments se lected out of the 100 militia regiments belonging to England. He informed them that her Majesty proposed entrusting them with the Enfield rifle, and that his son, Lieut. Scriven, was about to pro ceed to Hythe, preparatory to becoming their in structor in musketry. Ho then expressed his con viction that they would all volunteer to accompany their officers on foreign service. The Royal Wiltshire Militia assembled for em bodiment on Thursday at Devizes. The regiment is in a highly efficient state. The Royal Elthorne Light Infantry Militia as- sembled on Thursday at Uxbridge, under the com mand of Lieut.-Col. Murray Prior. The regiment is complete. It was the Ist King's Own, and not the 2d Staf ford Militia, which was stationed at Corfu. Receipts. 1856 1857. QUARTERLY NAVAL OBITUARY.
