BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY has ever since its introdaction to the public been recognised, both by scientific men and the trade, as the best article ever manufactured in this c unitry. Its claims 'o such pre-eminence are based upon its unri valled purity, and its el , ser as , imilation than ahy other to the flavour of the finest Champagne Brandy. , • There has been no Brandy made from wine in France, either In the present year or in the preceding one. Owing to the , uccessfve failures of their vintages, the French wine grower gets a higher price for his wine, c"nsumcd as such, than he can realise by its being distilled into Brandy; and forasmuch as the foreign BrAndy of recent impor tations is hut the product of British grain and beetroot spirts. the prestige hitherto exclusively- enjoyed by French Brandy as having been distilie from a particular French wine no longer exists, and is no longer worthily assignable to it now that it i., bunglingly made from other materials. The supply of wine for distilistion into Brandy having failed, the French distiller Is constrained to recur to a manu facture in which he needs the quarter of a cent ur y' s ex p er i ence which has 'been exercised upon that of BE I TS'S PATENT BRANDY, to render his article r.apectably competitive, and he has not had it. Under these circumstances the Messrs. Betts challenge that their PATe:NT BRANDY Is superior to any now made abroad. . . It is t = the interest , of the public and the Messrs. Betts that these facts should be widely spr• ad, for recent Importations are of a quality so inferior as to di grace the name they bear, and are twice the price of BETTS'S PA FENT BRANDY, which is supplied by the trade, in caosuled bottles, to private families in any quan tity, down to the single bottle. Excise regu!ations prevent its sale rom the Distillery, 7, Sin'thfield-bars, St. John-street, in any less quantity than tWo gallons. By Authority of the French Consul-General.—Notice is hereby given, that the following SALE of PRESERVED BEEF will be the last on account of the French Government. , QALE of FRENCH COMMISSARIAT SURPLUS STORES, consisting of PRESERVED BOILED BEEF, of English.

DEATH OF MR. S. WALKER, LATE OWNER OF WINX_FIELD. Yesterday Mr. G. S. Brent, Deputy-Coroner for Middlesex, and a highly respectable jury, assembled in the Coffee-room of the Shepherd and Flock, High-street, Marylebone, to inquire into the circumstances attending the melancholy and premature death of Mr. Stephen Walker, aged 44, late landlord of the Queen's Head la the same street, and owner of the celebrated race horse Winkfleld. The first witness called was Mr. Samuel Walker, landlord of the Oxford Arms, Lower-road, Islington, who stated that on Thursday last, about mid-day, on his return home from visiting his son, who kept a public-house in Church-street, Lisson-grove, know ing that deceased had not been in good health since the Metropolitan Raco at the Epsom Spring 'Meeting, when he told him " that if ho did not take care he would kill himself," be (witness) called to see how he Ivag. He found him in his bedroom in a most Eteited state calling upon his Maker to have mercy upon him, at intervals appearing sensible, and remarking to witness, " You'll be my executor, Sam." " Steve (his son under the witness's care, being only seven years old), there's the little driver (meaning, it is supposed, the horse Winkfield), stick to it." At 3 o'clock in the afternoon he was seized with strong convulsions, and having been attended by Dr. Cholmondley and Mr. Davison, gni.- geon,,he partially recovered. Mr. Nicholls, of Saville row, wbo had been in the interim sent for, arrived and remained with the deceased till his death. Mr. Edward Webber, master butcher, a few doors from deceased's, and Mr. Geo. Smith, office-keeper of the Marylebone police-court, deposed to having, as friends, on hearing of the state of the deceased, visited him in his bedroom on Thursday. and endeavoured to quiet his excitement, be at the different times accusing them before he was calmed of coming like others who were waiting "to shoot or poison him." , Mr. Jas. Nicholls stated that he vvyas wdeeceekaselads'ts,fabmeiinlyg in a very exc it a bl e c m a e li d e i d ca i l n a to tte s n e d e a h n i t r , n, a h e e d f o o n und M h on im da state, and evidently under the influence of drink. De cea,,ed said his condition was owing to his being unable to eat anything, and the effect of paint on some pre mi-ies.he was «Hubei ishing, but which statement witness knew from his appearance to be without founda tion. He then administered to him medicine, and after persuading him to be quiet went away. On Thursday morning, between 6 and 7 o'clock, he was fetched to deceased, who he was told had been down stairs to the bar and whom he found quite delirion., and at intervals giving utterance to expressions of no meaning. Witness almost continuously, was with him till his death, which, in his opinion, was caused by nervous ex3itement. The jury, who were chiefly neighbours of deceased, and 14eetned to regret his premature) death, having viewed the body, returned a verdict that "death was caused by the mortal effects of disease and excitement of the brain, and 49 a 8 not produced by unlawful means." / ~ . , er• • 0. or • .0- 44. - 4 .k • • ' '•°‘ ' ; 4/, I, 7 ) ..‘ ‘,5 ‘ , • 4 , az. • ; ; •04. :j , 4 0-> , + Dike • ' tr - lo p r (71 ,, , , • ~- • • .• unlergo traiciug rind to asttp,Vtti:PAPPtt iin a word, to ham that :brasss....... v 7..11 . •io ! all other'', requires to „ F 0: riot come by naturc, ~: 1 14 4 41, dillicult and complicate le tttett` ' _ quires more special caps • ' - '444 c ticeship than most others. e to be returned to Parliame y such are sometimes' Mill retuhTed ilivirBr4 of local influence exercised by relatives or powerful friends ; or find Beats in counties because they have inherited large property themselves.

Whether, in aword, the multiplication of large and the de strUction of small constituencies would not, is its inevitable operation, •be the most aristocratic or the most bUreahcratic of all innovations. r" [PRIG] 4 1) .

Are ready.to take _up the COLIC2S- Sion in case it should be abandoned by the capita li,ts of London and Paris, the following amended resume will prove rueful :—The privileges are for 30 year?, and extend over the whole of the Turkish dominions, giving the right of establishin g branches in any part' of the empire. The capital is to be 10,000.000/., of which 2,500,0001 a, must be paid up. The Board are to consist of a Governor, De puty-Governor, and 24 directors, the Government nominating the Governor and Deputy-Governor • and six director?, the remaining 18 directors being elected by the shareholders. The right of issue is far 15,000,0001., with a reserve of one-half in specie.' Within six months froni 'the commence ment .of business the Bank are to withdraw that portion of the.existing State paper circulation which bears interest. Thlaamounts to about 2,700,0001., of which 1,600,0001. carries 6 per cent., and . 1,000,0001. 10 per cent, The circulation not bear ing interest—about 2,300,0001.—is to, - be redeemed within 15 months. The total to be redeemed is, therefore, 5,000,0001. The depreciated specie cur rency, amounting to 4,500,000%, is to be, replaced by new silver and copper coinages to be gradually supplied from the Mint—the former wits an alloy of 16 per cent., the latter with an alloy of 33, per cent. For the amount of paper currency with drawn the . Government are to give the Bank transferable Six rer Cent. Treasury Bonds, secured by a special assignment of the revenues of the provinces of Koniah and Kutayale Adrianople and Uskuif, amounting to nearly 1,000,0001. per annum. Similar bonds are also to be given for any difference resulting between the value of the depreciated currencies called in and the new coinages issued in its peace. Finally, the Board are to have the power of carrying on all legitimate banking operations in the same manner as the Banks of Eugland and France, and it to be assumed that thesconduct of the general business of the Govern ment at certain rates of commission is also contem plated as among their moet important functionia The whole of these arrangements are creditable to the framers cf. them, especially as they are charac terised by a certain degree of strfugency which in dicateS that- the Government consider that if Turkey is fit to enjoy a National Bank , she_ may properly insist upon dignified conditions which shall mark her emancipation from the hands of those speculators who- have hitherto traded upon a dis credit, cansed not by dishonesty, but mismanage ment. It is alleged that such hesitation as has yet been manifested in London in taking up the project is to be attributed to dis=atisfaction that the Go vernment have not offered more 'extensive means of gain, such as would be satisfactory to the concoctors of Banks of Credit Mobilier, and also that they have retained a considerable amount of control in their own hands. The terms, how‘ ver, supposing them to Liu faithfully-upheld, art suchali___ to admit of profits equal to anything that a rational investor could desire, and if more were granted they should operate rather to deter than to attract. Of cburse, the gains from the circulation would be greater if the specie ICesrce were fixed at one third, instead of one-half, but at the beginning the precaution was a wise one, and it can be modified if experience shall show the safety of the lower amouut. With regard to the re demption of the 5,000,0001. of paper circulation, it may be taken for granted that the void created by its withdrawal will be supplied by the notes of the new Bank, while there is also reason to believe that A court-martial assembled on board the flag-ship Waterloo, at' Sheerness, yesterday, to fry Edward Jones, ordinary supernumerary seaman, serving on hoard the screw steamer Miranda, Captain-Robert Hail. The charges werestealing a certain piece of blue Cloth, tliepr6perty of Geerge M . lCenzie which was . in charge of William Smith, the sick berth atten dant ; and the second charge, for deserting the said ship- on the 28th of. February last, while the ship was lying in Malta harbour. Captain Robt. iu command of the Miranda, prosecuted. The pri soner pleaded guilty to both charges, and threw himself on the mercy of the Coutt. The prisoner was sentencei to receive on board the Miranda three dozen lashes, to be then committed to the cotinty gaol of Maidstone for six calendar months, with hard labour during that period, and then to be dismissed from her Majesty's service with dis grace. Lieutenant William Jones Walker, late of the Dido, has taken up his commission and joined the sham-ship Vesuvius at Sheerness. Mr. Cliarlei J. E. R. Arebdeaogn, Naval In structor, has talsen up his appointment and joined the Cumberland at Sheerness. Yesterday the two-company depot of the 26th Camerpoians was inspected at Chatham barracks by'Colon.el H. Jervis, the commandant of the Pro visional Battalion, previous to their departure for Weimer. The troops assembled in marching order, and were minutely inspected by the commandant, who expressed himself much satisfied with their appearance. The- depot will leave -Chatham to morrow morning, accompanied by Captain W. E. Wallace, Captain. H. C. Hardioge, Ensign W. Marigin, Ensign G. P. Fawkes, and Ensign P. C. Story. 'the depots of the 26th and 37th Regiments hive been ordered to. move to Chatham, iho former to Welmer and the 37th to Chichester, it being .the intention of the War authorities to qtlarter the depots of those regiments serving in China at Cha tham as soon as accommodation can be provided.for them at the Provisional Battalion. The troops be longing to the St. Helena Colonial Regiment, now at Chatham, are also ordered to be held iu readi ness to join their head-quarters.

Parliamentary reform is a question which is ciatain t) be brought before this Parliament, and it is a question whicla,..willper,pl,4x many statesmen and diva") probably more than one party. We do not for a moment pretend to believe that at present the country is conscious of any necessity for organic changes, or feels much intere3t ;n their discussion. The cry has been scarcely heird at this general eleJtion ; the sulject has bran mentioned in a few electioneering addresses and on a few hustings only. But we must not forget that the Government which was in power when the war bloke out-, and of which many of the present Ministers were members, bad promised an I prepared a Reform Bill ; and Lord John Ru.sell considered himself in honour bound to 'bring it forward, and was only with the utmost difficulty persuaded to postpone it during the abtoibing exigencies of the war ; and that if the existing Government does not introduce the subject voluntarily, Lord John is sure to force it on the attention of Parliament. We do not expee ,any action on the question this year—the broken session will be leason enough for its postponement ; but the year 1858 must inevitably see it broached, to say the least, and the discussion will form one of those difficultibs in Lord Palmerston'a path to which we have above referred. For it cannot be denied that the Liberal party are by no means consentatieous in their views of the nature and extent of the reform measure which is needed and would be safe ; and it is not improbable that the Conservatives may start an opposition reform pro gramme of their own. We have no intention of entering upon the ques tion till it comes regularly before the public. No men iu his 'senses can doubt that many improvements on the existing representative system can be con ceived and might be introduced ; but no one who looks to the past in a philosophic temper will feel unduly etnifident as to what the practical effect of the various provisions of a new Reform Bill might turn out t ) be. Old predictions have not been so closely verified that we should be eager in hazard ing new ones. Former hopes have met with too signal a disappointment for dispassionate observers to be very sanguine for the future. One satisfac tory result, however, has been elicited by the ge neral election which has just terminated. Our present system, with all its manifest defects and undeniable anomalies, does enable the country to express its - opinion clearly and forcibly whenever it has an opinion. No electioneering organisation, however complete—no personal or property influ ence, however strong or however unsparingly ex ercised, will suffice to gag or distort the popular sentiment when general and well defined. In few elections have men been seated or unseated so ostensibly and directly in consequence of their votes and doctrine 3 . as in this of 1857. The country may not have been very wise in its judgment, or very profound in its foresight ; but at any rate it has done what it wished, said what it meant, and car ried the candidates it preferred. Another consideration, far too wide and impor tant to be developed here at any length, is stillworth throwing out for the country to ruminate upon at leisure. The prevalent notion among nearly all who contemplate a new Reform Bill is to transfer the elective franchise from small constituencies to large ones—from Caine and Westbury, for example, to Birkenhead and Chelsea. Have those who look forward to such a chan g e reflected on the inevitab le impoverishment of the House of Commons for offi cial and Ministerial purposes which must bethe consequence I Have they looked to the p ast ope ration of the analogous changes which have already taken place ? We must make ourselves clearly understood. By using the word impoverish ment" we do not design any the slighe est dispa ragement to the character or capacity ity of the men habitually selected by larg e borou g h constituencies. But such constituencies naturally and rationally enough prefer to send up to Parliament fellow citizens whom they know and respect, who have shown their value by long years of local service— who have won honour and esteem by a life of acti-1 vity, enterprise, and beneficence. If they do not choose such men, they choose public characters of em inence--tnen who have won their spurs in past campaigns, and deserved well of their country from their youth upwards. All these will, therefore, necessarily be men who have ,reached or passed middle life—who cannot and do not wish to enter on a new and labor g ious career—who will make ex cellent membersof Parliament, as far as good votes, sound judgment, and reliable information are con cerned, but who cannot enter on the toils and training of official life. But as long as our Minis ters are chosen exclusively from among members of Parliament, so long shall "we want young men of talent and promise—a reasonable infusion of such at least—to be elected, who can embrace states manship as a profession, who are enterprising and energetic enough to encounter its toils and its chances, and who have time enough before them to a further lnotese quantity of thee n o t, will pass into currency in txchange for some portion of the enormous amount of English and French gold at present understood to Le hoarded throughout the empire fur want of some safe representative medium. In that case it might be possible for the whole pro ceq; of the redemption of the currency to be car ried out without the necessity of a single ounce of bullion being permanently drawn from, England or any other country. It is asserted, moreover, that there is a prospect of the Six per Cent. Treasury Bonds held by the Bank being always negotiable at a premium - in case of need. At pre3ent the in terest bearing portion of the paper circulation is said to command a premium of 11 for the Six per Cents. and 11 for the Ten per Cents. Upon the question of management most persons will agrae, after what has lately been witnessed of the course of London boards, that a direction composed of leading merchants selected by English, French, and. German shareholders, with an infusion of Govern ment officials in a pro„ortion to fix responsibility upon the Sta.e without ninferring any power of action except such as may be sanctioned by an in. dependent majority, will at least be equal to any form yet devised. The separate interests and even jealousies of the mercantile members viould prove the best guarantee against any of them being al lowed to carry out wild views of their own, and the influence of their respective Governments would be available in united force against any un due assumption on the part of the State or its no minees. Looking at all these features, and at the salutary effect which a regeneration of the currency and banking system of Turkey must exercise in de veloping her commerce, particularly with Great Britain, there is every ground for desiring that the concession may be acted upon without delay, either by ourselves or by the native houses, who are re ported to be anxious to obtain it. An additional satisfaction will be derived from witnessing the un usual fact cf a State with a depreciated•currency meeting its obligations in full-311 example strik ingly different from that set by Russia in former times under similar circumstances. ,„.gai. , .

Their half-masculine, half-feminine attire and peculiar accent, attract the attention of old and young as they trudge creel laden along the streets in their white nape, seamen's jackets, and skirts short as those of an opera dancer, and of greater circumference than the robei of the most infatuated devotee of crinoline.—GreetiocrAd. vertiser.

Dear Sir,—Our child, up to the age of eleven weeks, was very delicate and wasting away, and milk, sago, and arrowroot turned sour on its stomach, causing great suffer ing. We then fed it upon Du Barry's Revalenta Arabiea, which agreed wonderfully with her ; and she is now, at the age of nine months, a plump and lively little girl.—Daniel Serves. Wildervank, Holland, Sept. 20, 1853. Dear Sir, — Our baby, which Heaven presented us with ten months back, was attacked, when four weeks old, with a disease of the stomach and glands, by which our seven previous infants had all been carried off, and this last child seemed destined to follow its sisters and brothers before ma n y da y s, for our doctor, a very able practitioner, had, during three weeks, ex hausted all his skill, and was at a loss what to prescribe neat, when he advised Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, which, I am happy to say, worked a great change for the better in a few days ; and, in six weeks time, the child was perfectly well, and is now a cheerful, blooming boy -_a source of the greatest happiness to us all.

Walhalla Baroda Duneany Gorse Hilt the morning, when they went in at the Persian troops—the 3d cavalry, Poona, horse, and artil lery braving the battle. The Persians formed square, and the cavalry charged clean, through it : went threes about on the other side, and charged back ; threes about and back again a third time ; the artillery also playing upon the square. All say that the cavalry charge was one of the most splendid over witnessed. : They left about 1,000 dead on the field ; and the quantity of wounded must have been immense. Our troops had do come back into camp by a forced march ; and were four hours coming through the Marshella,' a swamp. Some—in fact all —came back in a dreadful state ; they, were panic-struck as they neatedour camp—men came in in mkses of mud, dropping from fatigue. They were all singing out that the enemy wereattacking the rear, and crying out to pass the word for the cavalry and Poonahorso, but they were in the rear coming in with the two captured guns and prizes. We were kept at our guns till nearly mid night; and I kept trailing my gun from one side to another, according as we heard the volleys of the stragglers coming in ; and no end of cries that the enemy are coining in the rear. When the bugle was sounded three of us went out, armed, to pick up stragglers. _One wounded man , was bundled out of his dhooly, the bearers running away, leav ing the poor fellow on the ground with the calf of his leg shot off by a round shot. I returned, and took him back in a dhooly, but he died ju=t after he came in. We were but till two in the morning, having picked up ten unfortunate devils, who could not move, some of them asking vs - to let them die. The General had a severe fall from his horse when the troops were attacked at Koosh-ab, and was in sensible for two hours, but he- came in all right in the afternoon, and went out again when the alarm occnrred, and met us on our way back. He thank ed us personally, saying it was ni..st kind, &c. Next morning I went out to meet the forCe coming .in, the rearguard of the army, and as the cavalry cime in by twos and threes, and salaamed to us, they draw their swords in triumph, crying out ' Dekho and there they were, sure enough, blades and hiltS, all smeared in blood, and their white belts 'bespattered, all over ; they must have Made a most glorious charge. Poor Frankland, of the 2d Europeans, was made Brigade Major of Cavalry, to go out with them, only the day before they started, and in the charge he cut down three men, but the foiirth shot him dead, right in the bridge of the nose, the ball perittrating into the head. Our doss was only, as far as I can learn, four or six killed, and about fr. - on foity to sixty wounded, but it is not as yet lightly known. They speak very well on the whole of the Persian troops, and especially of their artillery. Certainly the two guns that were captured were•es good as any of ours—horses, harness, limber; and all in very fine order. They have 'got 25 prisoners, two of whom they say are Russians. The ‘Sukh el-Mulk,' who commanded the Persian army, nar nowly ecaped being taken himself, • escaping wits out his hat. And going back with a bare head in this country, I suppose you are well aware, is a disgrace." DURHAM RACES-MONDAY. The Trial Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 35 added, for 3-yrulds and upwards.

CAMP BEFORE BIISHIRE, FEB. 25. Since my last communication little of interest has occurred in this quarter worthy of being re corded. Owing to the non-arrival of the remaining portion of the Second Division, which wai confi dently expected here ten days ago, as well as in consequence of the strong north-west:rly gales which have prevailed, and which have prevented all intercourse with the shippinc , in tbe harbour, the Mohammerah expedition lits bz..en delayed. The day before yesterday, however, it was found practicable to get the Semiramis and Berenice steamers under way. They took in tow the Ocean Monarch and the Futtey Mobarelr, wi:h one bat-. tery of artillery, a corps of dooly-bearer?, stores, &c., as also three gunboats. These will be dropped near the estuary of the Shatt-001-Afab, there to awaitthe rema:ning part of the force, destined to capture and garrison Mobammerah. The steamers will return immediately, and the Hon.,Mr. Mur ray, who goes up in the Berenice, will be made over to the Comet, which will take him as far as Basra, whence he is to make his own way to Big' dad. Captain - Kemball, resident at Bagdad, arrived here a few days ago, and reports that the garrison of Mohammerah has beea increased, and that 13 guns have been mounted in the embrasures of the forts. Tho Arabs in that quarter appear to be in anxious expectation of our approach, which, it is to be feared, will be the signal of a general rising of the tribes against their Persian nr.ster. It will re quire a little diplomacy to prevent these will clans from committing every kind of excess, and at the same time to keep on good terms with them our selves. The latter is absolutely necessary to the success of our operations generally, for one groat object in seizing Mohammerah is to open out the resources of that district to the wants of our army. The officers employed in procuring baggage cattle report that 5,000 camels will be ready in the 'course of a fortnight. Mules also are being bought up at Bagdad and Mosul, but I fear it will be seve ral months ere a number sufficient to enable our army to advance from Bushire is % procured. This, perhaps, is the less to be regretted, since without large add i t ional reinforcemen is, especially European, it would be imprudent to think of advancing beyond Shiraz. The operations of our General 'are, indeed, even now very much crippled for want of troops. The entire army, when the whole of the Second Division arrives, will not amount to more than 10,000 men of all arms. From 3,000 to 4,-000 of these will advance to Mohammerab, and a good moiety of that number must remain to garrison it. I believe that an advance thence to Shuster and Dizful might easily be made with the co-operation of the tribes, but such a course would he worse than useless unless Sir James could leave adequate gar risons in those places. He cannot detach more men from before Bushire while the enemy maintain their position below the passes. Rumour gives their numbers there at from 5,000 to 25,000 men, with 8 or 30 guns, and reports sel prevail of many regiments being on their way from Isaphan and. Teheran: Again, the 'Bazaar report is that the Serkesheekshi Bashi, or Commandant of the King's body-guard, in company with Hama Mirza, the Shah's uncle, is on his way from Teheran, em powered to conclude a treaty of peace. If this is really the case, and we are able to secure even our principal objects, I trust that no bone of contention will be raised on our side, and that an end maybe made of this war. On the other hand, however, should no such overtures be made by Persia, we must, as far as I can see, be prepared for a serious struggle ; and, if .Herat is the stumblingblock, that must be removed out of the way by our taking possession of it. Averse as England and India may be to undertake military operations in that. quarter, she will ultimately be driven to it, since it is not difficult to foresee that the eventua lities of the war in this direction may lead to the occupation of Herat by Russian troops. We should seek to strengthen Persia, and that we might more readily do by holding .Herat than by any other 'means. We could then afford to be less suspicious of the Persians, and perhaps more generous towards them, than we have been; despite their insincerity and perfidy. Why Affghanistan should be such a bugbear to the English public no military man ap pears to understand. Our position on the Indus is now totally different from what it was at the period of our disastrous retreat, and the Affghans themselves know us better. Besides, what security have we, in the actual circumstances of the reign ing dynasty there, that after the demise of the Dost one or more of the aspirants to the musnud will not seek the protection of the Persians, or even of the Russians, against British interests in Affghan istan After-reports from the adjoining neighbourhood lead us to believe that many more of the Persians were killed at the battle of Kooshab than we our selves believed. Hundreds of the wounded were said to . be strewn near .the river Daliki, and from all accounts the blow then struck has quite disor ganised the army under Soojah-001-MQolk, who, if rumour speaks truly, has been displaced from his command. It is now becoming the prevailing opi nion that the Persians will not again meet us on the plain, but in case of our approach will retire into the passes, and there dispute our onward pro gress. The camp at Bushire is being fortified with strong redoubts ; the force is remarkably healthy, and a good tone generally prevails among officers and men. Lord Seymour arrived the other day from Bagdad, and has been appointed, for the pre- sent, assistant to Major Taylor, in the political de partment. We understand that this young noble man is anxious to obtain some military office) in order to enable him to take an active part in the war. FEBRUARY 26. Reports just received from Mohannerah s4ate that the Persians have brought two guns thither rom Dizful, and seem to be planning some scheme for obstructing the entrance to the KAM% River. TUESDAY.

The Emperor Phceaix base RACF, OF 100 MILES.—TRIAL OF BoTTOlt.;— A letter from Albany, in the state of New York, dated March 30, says:—Two spwting men of this city, Taylor aad Dalton, started on horses from.the Exchange this morning at 5 o'clock, fOr a one hundred mile race, with out rest or feed. , The bets are 2,600. d,‘l4 , a side.

The Albany horse was a quarter of a mile behind." THE MARCH UPON BURAZJOON. ( From the Bombay Telegraph. ) We have abstained for a considerable time from commenting upon Sir James Outram's march upon Burazjoon, and the subsequent engagement at Koosh-ab. We were averse to condemning this military movement until we had perfectly studied it ; and we were disinclined, to denounce as a defeat what the pen of Sir James Outram had proclaim-d a victory. A sense of duty and justice, however, compels us to speak of things as they occurred ; to place facts before our readers instead of fiction ; and to show that General Outram's army was panic stricken and disorganised on its return to Bushir e . It is evident from his 'own despatches that the ex pedition to Burazjoon was a movement which scarcely any circumetances could justify ; and ac cording to his own showing, his leaving Bushire almost totally undefended for the sake of giving battle to an enemy 46 miles off, was one of those wild acte of insanity - which no heroism can extenu ate and no victory justify. We are told in his de spatches that after a march of 46 miles in 41 hours, during which the troops were exposed to the worst of weather, cold nights, and deluging storms of rain, they reached the enemy's entrenched position on the afternoon of ' the sth, and found it aban doned. The enemy, on hearing our approach, had evacuated his entrenchments the previous night so precipitately that his tents and camp equipage and ordnance magazines were left behind. The former were being rapidly carried off by village plunderers operating for some hours before we arrived. I en deavoured to intercept the retreat of some of Eilk banee's Horse, who had held the camp during the night, and were still in sight, and a little skirmish ing took place, but eventually they made off. The General says the enemy left behind his camp equi page, tents, and ordnance stores ; but in the next paragraph he tells us that his guns were withdrawn to the strong passes, which leads us to the conclu sion that the tents, &c., were not of any great value. Indeed the enemy seems to have abandoned his posi tion more forthe purpose of carrying out a well planned strategy than fram any fear of the advancing column. Knowing that the position could not be maintained for any length , of time athe enemy sagaci-. ously evacuated it, leaving just enough otbait in the trap to occupy our troops until ho had perfected his strategy, which was to attack the expedition on its march back to Bushire in the roar and on both flanks. The measures of the Persian general were beautifully planned and admirably carried out—so well, in fact, that had it not been for the determined bravery of our soldiers, General Outram and army would have been annihilated. On the night ' of the 7thillie return march was commenced ; and, quoting again from General Outram's despatches, "at midnight an attack was made upon the rear guard by the enemy's horse, and parties threatened the line of march upon every side. The troops were halted, and so formed as to protect the baggage, and resist the horsemen in whatever direction they might attempt to charge. Four of the enemy's guns of heavy metal opened their fire upon the column, whilst the darkness of the night prevented any steps being taken to capture them." According to the General's own confession he seems to have marched from Burazjoon without having the least idea of the enemy's whereabouts. The crack of his guns'on the rear guard was the first intimation he received of the proximity of an army, numbering, according to his own account, nearly 7,000 men. In his despatches he tacitly admits that he was out flanked. The enemy's guns thundered upon his rear, and his horsemen seem to have encircled him, as we find that the British general was obliged to halt his troops so that they might resist the cavalry "in whatever direction they might attempt to charge." From midnight until dawn our troops lay on the cold and damp ground, not knowing the moment' when they might be attacked and cut to pieces. As soon as day broke, the Persian force was discovered on our left rear in order of battle, which was a very fortunate thing indeed ; as for anything we could have done to prevent it, the whole army might have been half-way on its march to Bushire, and nothing could have prevented the place from being recaptured. The Persian general, however, no doubt-imagined the city to be strongly garrisoned, ,and preferred risking a battle to exe cuting a coup-de-eacrin which would have rendered his name - immortal. With his vast numbers of cavalry, it would have been impossible for Gen. Outram to have overtaken him or saved the city ; but Shooja ool-Moolk, like St. Arnaud and Raglan after the battle of the Alma, was as ignorant of the strength of Bushire as were those of that of Sebastopol. The Persians seem to have fought well, but after a few hours' fighting they were compelled to retreat. General Outran says they " fled in a disorganised state, generally throwing away their arms, which strewed the field in vast numbers, and nothing but the paucity of our cavalry prevented their total destruction." This statement ) according to his own despatches, sounds extremely improbable. If the Persians were in such a disorganised state how did they manage to carry away sixteen guns out of , eighteen I—the arms which strewed the ground in such vast numbers belonged, we imagine, to the 700 men who lay dead upon the field of battle. After a short bivouac we are next told that " the greater portion of the infantry continued their march to Bushire, which they reached before midnight." What does General Outram mean by the " greater portion of the infantry I" and how was it that the artillery, cavalry, and infantry did not all march together ? The following letter from an officer on the staff left with the force for the protection of Bushire, will best explain the manner in which the victorious army returned to camp. It was but little wonder; we think, that the inhabitants of the place imagined from their appearance that they had sus tained a severe defeat : " Bushire, Feb. 13. "My dear' * * got up here all right, when General Outram immediately eetabout sending a force into 'Burazjoon, a place 40 miles inward, where a whole lot of Sirbaz had assembled in force, and were talking big about attacking the camp ; so the force, with the 78th High landers and 2Gth Regiment N. 1., lately arrived from Bombay, started on the evening of the 3d, and left the batteries in camp in charge of the naval brigade—the Semiramis, Clive, Falkland, Euph rates, and gunboats, with Jacks and Marines all ashore. On the sth the troops marched in Buraz joon, and found the Persians had made a hasty re treat, taking their guns with them, but leaving all their ammunition behind, and a large store of wheat and barley. The ammunition was all blown up, some tons of powder and heaps of shot and shell. It was blown up by Hassard, of the 2d, and Hag= gard, of the Artillery, with two of. Jacob's rifle shells. They fired at it at 70 yards ; and the con cussion sent them and the rifle s flying into the air, but without hurting them. They then left Buraz joon with the prize property ; and that night the enemy followed us up, and attacked our rear ; on which the army formed a square' round the prize property, and, all lay down flat on their bellies till, ivii i -r e s / t*.. , 5 . :12....,., ,, ) , :: A v ~ NI - -i-. nd ►ho r— • - tier gh, rel• I.ncl r tle 2ar- ,rain May ant; and rs. own, root, s and rhea full , and. ately Arley from Corn, fresh sale scrip rove - week. ~ 47' Od ; *moil ale At and and dull. to to 70 to 66 to 56 52% 1 75 10'4 104 2 12,is -claYr wing k of York stern eutit cola' pear' cted• 110 A, 7,16 •da7r 'ate• (toed radon aing. • th• Bell • 1 . 131..
