" What with hard marching, hard fighting, and hard work my time has of late been fully occupied; but now that a spare day happily supervenes—while the remainder of the force are effecting the crossing of the Ganges—l proceed to give you an account of the operations of Havelock's column, ordered to the relief of Cawnpore, from the commencement of the march up to the present time. " This body of troops, consisting of a portion of her Majesty's 78th Highlanders and 64th, part of the Ist Madras Fusiliers, a company of Royal Ar tillery from Ceylon, a few volunteer horse (mostly officers of the broken Sepoy regiment:), a party of about 80 of the 13th Irregular Horse, and 150 Sikhs—in all, about 1,100 men, of whom 800 were English, the whole under the command of Briga dier-General Havelock—marched from Allahabad on the evening of the 7th July, to join an advanced force of 700 men, partly Europeans, partly Sikhs, under command of Major Renaud, Ist Madras Fusi liers, who had proceeded on in front some 40 miles. " The rains had fairly set in for some time past, and an incessant down-pour on the two preceding days had utterly soaked tents and baggage. It cleared up a little on the morning of the 7th • but as the long column began to move off in the afteenoori, down came therein again. Our route for the first two miles lay through the large aed densely populous native city of Allahabad. The inhabitants lined the streets and swarmed on to the housetops in gloomy silent crowds, to behold the first really offensive demonstration of their Fe ringhee masters ;since the commencement of the outbreak. Most of the Hindoos appeared to be either indifferent or apprehensive ; but wherever a Mahomedan was seen, there was a scowl on his brow and a curse in his heart. That night we camped in a snipe swamp, with the rain still pour ing clown on us. " Next day the aspect of affairs changed for the better. The rain ceased—the sun came out and dried our draggled feathers—the Grand Trunk Road, along which our route lay, was in splendid order, and the force moved briskly on through a beautiful, flat, fertile, well-wooded country, like the Weald of Kent without the hedges. Everywhere along the road were traces of the most wanton destruction. All the little police-stations wete unroofed, the telegraph pots cut down, the mile stones broken, the staging bungalows' gutted and burnt—every village was deserted and de stroyed. The contrast between this state of things and what it was two years ago, when I passed down this way, and beheld the great road thronged with traffic, and each petty hamlet swarming with life and activity, was striking in the extreme. " After proceeding by regular marches for three days, intelligence reached the general which deter mined him to push on by forced marches, and over take Major Renaud. Accordingly, the column pressed forward along the same noble road and through the same description of country, passing here anti there evidences of our people's handiwork in the shape of men hung by fours and fives on the bees by the roadside, till the morning of the 12th the two forces joined on the line of march and drew up on their encamping ground, a fine open plait', about four miles distant from the city of Futtey pore.' We were ordered to remain in position, resting on oiu arms, until a party of the Volunteer Horse, sent on 2 miles ahead to reconnoitre, should have re turned. The main body of the force had marched 24 miles that morning, and the general hope was for breakfast rather than a fight. Men and officers had lighted their pipes, and a cluster of us were assisting at the manufacture of a brew of tea, when one, who had been employing himself with his field-glass, drew the attention of his neighbours to our small party of volunteer horse, who were re turning before their time. A. moment after, a large body of cavalry in white emerged from the distant tress on the edge of the plain, in full pur suit. Instantly the bugle sounded, the ranks fell in, and we stood all ready. " Meanwhile a large body of infantry followed the cavalry, and now debouched on the plain, ac companied by guns, which moved forward and opened fire at long range on the small handful of English horsemen riding quietly down the road towards us. " And now the English force got the word to advance. Guns and skirmishers were ordered to the front—the artillery pushed on in line with the Enfield rifles—and soon came into action with the enemy's guns. The first three were taken after a short, sharp interchange of shots, wherein the precision and rapidity of the English fire at once established its superiority. The enemy fled from their guns, and retreated to a second battery placed on the road in the rear. Here they again made a stand. Meantime the skirmishers ou both sides were hotly engaged, and. the enemy's cavalry were moving round, trying to outflank the line, so that the guns had to halt several times during their ad vance, and opened fire on the right and left to keep them in check. It was hard work, for the ground the artillery had to traverse consisted almost en tirely of irrigated fields, in their softest and mud diest state, so that the gun-wheels sunk deep, and it was all the tired bullocks could do, assisted by the efforts of the gunners at the wheels, to get the guns along. At length, however, the English artils lery CAM, into action again, with the enemy's g9llll and infantry in front. There were a large number of them in rear of the principal battery, conspicuous amongst whom moved an elephant and its rider, who directed their movements. A capital shut from Capt. Maude's battery knocked over the elephant, and this seemed to be the. signal for another retrograde movement on the part of the enemy, who aban doned their guns and retreated. We followed, and so the running fight was kept up till the town of Futteypore came in sight. Here the enemy again made a stand amongst the houses and gardens, but were speedily driven out by our men, who pressed forward, eager for vengeance. " At the entrance of the main street of Futtey pore, the road was blocked up by a barricade of carts and baggage waggons. It was so close and firm and placed in such an advantageous position, that it was supposed to be a defence run up by the foe, and that they meant to make a stand ; but by the time the artillery had thrown in a few shrapnel, and the skirmishers had worked ronnd to the flanks, it was discovered that the supposed barricade was nothing more than an inextricable heap of the enemy's baggage, which had got jammed up into such a mass ofconfusion between the houses on either side the street, that they were 'obliged to abandon it. In the midst of the ruck were two new 6-poun ders, with limbers and ammunition complete, be sides large stores of gun and musket ammunition ; and a little beyond, two tumbrils of treasure were found, one of which fell into the hands of those astute plunderers the Sikhs, and was no more seen. " This was a grand chance for 'loot,' and all hands, Europeans and natives, were soon at work investigating the contents of the baggage waggons. Ladies' dresses, and worsted work, and other tokens of our unhappy lost countrywomen, constantly came to light amongst the spoils, and made the men still wilder for vengeance. " It took some little time before the baggage carts could be sufficiently cleared off to either side for the artillery to get through. At length this was accom plished, and the guns passing onward fired their last shot at the enemy's infantry, who were now in full flight about a mile on the other side of the town. " During the action, the mutineer cavalry had all the time been hanging on our flanks, trying to get round to the rear and cut into the baggage train; but lasing everywhere met and repulsed, they at length drew off round to the right of the city, where the Ist Fusiliers, accompanied by the mostlrre p. A s fatiguing oneiguin tim gtr e theyudge after t c h l e o m th u i l o ar u s g , h h t a n d a the swamps. to a 'party that the Irregulars were ordered to charge. The horsemen went forward, then turned, and came back at a gallop, with the enemy's cavalry hard after them, leaving their native commandant, the only man amongst them who was known to be really true to the English, dead on the ground. It was evident the Irregulars would not act against their mutineer comrades. "The time was now past midday, and the sun for the last three hours had been striking down with frightful intensity. Many had been struck down by sun-stroke during the heat of the action ; and now that the excitementof the fight had passed away, the whole force, was utterly exhausted With heat and fatigue—men and officers indiscriminately threw themselves down wherever a morsel of shade was to be found, and went off into a deep sleep. About 3 p.m. the tents and baggage came up. I don't think many were pitched that day ; but many a soldier blessed the considerate foresight of the commissar, iat officer, who h a d sent on cam els lightly laden with biscuit and rum, so that each man had a biscuit and a dram served out to him forthwith. " Next day the forces halted to secure and bring in the captured guns, eleven in number, and to de stroy all the ammunition that could not be carried on. A good many Government gun bullocks were also brought in during the course of the day ' • and sone Sepoys, caught lurking in the town and sur rounding villages, were incoatinently hung. " The activity displayed by the enemy's horse men in the preceding action was very remarkable. They moved round our force, menacing us at dif ferent points, with extraordinary rapidity ; and in so far as manoeuvring in the field went, their cavalry was perfect. Now, I wish to draw par ticular attention to this fact—because these very men were our own regular troopers, mounted on our own regular cavalry horses, but armed and equipped after their own, instead of the regu lar cavalry fashion. The regular Bengal Cavalry, equipped and overloaded with their ac coutrements, have never been of any particular use in the army hitherto ; but this shows what they might be made under a better system. "On the 14th the force marched again. There were many evidences, as we moved forward, of the precipitancy with which the rebels had fled—chests of cartridges were left by the side of the road, tents were left :trading in their camp, and portions of tents were scattered all along the route. Our com pany made a very fottionate capture of 40 barrels of porter in a village on the road, which proved a most acceptabla supply to our men. This day, when we went into camp:, the opportunity was taken of quietly dismounting and disarming the [rregulars, whose further fidelity isoemerextremely dubious. Though the loss of their services was a most serious inconvenience at such a juncture, yet it was felt to be best to get rid of a body of men whom nobody trusted, and who, justly or unjustly, were regarded with an evil eye by all. " On the following day we started at dawn, with the knowledge that the enemy had again collected in force, and had entrenched themselves on the road ahead of us. After proceeding about 5 miles, we at length came in sight of the rebels in position at a village called Ooug. Directly we came within range of their gnus they opened fire. The artillery and skirmishers on our side moved out to the front as before, with the main body of troops following. The mutineers came out from the village and gar den enclosures towards us in perfect skirmishing order, and both sides were soon hotly engaged. After a smart skirmish our guns silenced the enemy's ar tillery, and our men began to gain ground, driving the mutiueers back upon the village. At this junc ture their cavalry came out from behind the en closures, and moved forward through the trees, me nacing our right, and pressing down unpleasantly close; but the guns were immed at ely turned onthem and it was only after some well thrown shrapnel had emptied a score or more of saddles, that they could be made to keep their distance. Failing in this attempt, they rode away to our rear, and, had it not been for the cool gallantry of the hos pital sergeant of the 78th, would have cut up our baggage ; but he collecting all the invalids and stragglers in the rear formed a small rallying square of about a hundred men, and received them with such a fire of musketry that they rode off discom fited, leaving many dead behind them. " Meantime the fight went on through the vil lage. Ile rebels fought fiercely, even after their guns were taken, and it was seine little time before our men could clear them out ; but this was at length effect 2d—the artillery passed through, and the whole force halted to breathe and drink water on the other side. But our work was only half done as yet—there was another entrenchment with two heavy guns still to be taken. They were placed in a position which swept the road for a mile, just on the other side of the Pandoo Nuddie, a large difficult stream spanned by a bridge of three arches, which, if bro ken down—and we knew it was mined—would seriously have checked our progress. Nothing could save it but pressing the enemy hard, so on we went again. The heat was, as usual, frightful, but the men bore up, having the excitement of battle on them. After proceeding another two miles—just as the head of the column. wound out from amongst the mango groves, at a turn where the road ran straight across the plain—two puffs of white smoke burst from a low ridge in our front, followed by the report of two heavy guns, and- a couple of 24- pound shot, beautifully thrown, crashed right into us, wounding men and gun-bullocks. Another and another followed in rapid succession ; the fire was heavy and most accurate. " Our light field-pieces were no match for the enemy at this game of long bullets, so the order was given for the artillery to advance and engage when within practicable r Lugo. The guns went steadily down the road, under a continuous fire of round shot, varied, as we drew nearer, by shrapnel, till a fair range was gained—then the guns rapidly un limbered and opened fi re . The effect was marvel - lous. Our heavy opponents ceased firing immedi ately. We could not understand this at the time, but discovered when we went up to the entrench ment, that our shrapnel bullets had smashed their sponge-staffs a l mos t a t the first fire, so that they could no long er l oa d th e ir guns. Their skir mishers were meanti me g i v i ng way before ours, and our guns now turned on their cavalry, who were massed in the front. The Enfield riflemen, too, were creeping forward ; and soon the whole rebel force turned right about, and went off. It was just as well we did press forward that day ; for, as we crosed. the bridge, we found that they had tried to blow it up, but failed for want of time—the explo sion had only thrown down the parapet walls, leav ing the arch sound. " It was universally remarked how much closer and fiercer the mutineers fought that day. If they had only been under a competent leader, it would have been a much more serious affair, for the infe rior details of their movements —such as depend upon the mechanical training of the soldiers—were perfect ; but the master mind was wanting. Hence the sepoys always came into action very well, but, as the battle went on, got hollered, and made a mess of it. Our want of cavalry in these an - lions was most severely felt—a couple of squadrons even would have been of most incalculable use. " The tired troops camped down that day on the spot where our last gun was fired, and got what rest they could, having taken five guns. Late that night a rumour spread through camp that a still heavier fight awaited us on themorrow, and during the next morning's march this intelligence was confirmed. The whole of the mutineer regiments at Cawnpore —about 4,000 infantry and 500 horse—had come down with the Bithoor Rajah, otherwise called the Nana Sahib, to me st us, and had taken up a posi tion at the fork of the Grand Trunk Road, about four miles from Cawnpore, where one road branches in o cantonments, and the other goes straight on to Delhi. Here they had strongly entrenched them selves, with heavy guns placed so as to command the road, and sweep it with a flanking fire. " We were then 22 miles off, which determined our General to march on 14 miles that morning, and attack in the afternoon. Accordingly, the force bivouacked under the trees, cooked food and ate, and at 1.30 p.m. were again on the march, proceeding to the at tack ; for the position of the enemy's forces and guns being known, it was determined to make a detour, and attack them in flank, which required time. This I believe to have.been one of the mos+ severe marches ever made in India. In the full midday heat of the worst season in the year did our troops start, each man fully armed and accoutred, with his 60 rounds of ball ammunition on him. The sun struck down with frightful force. At every step a man reeled out of the ranks, and threw himself fainting by the side of the road—the calls for water were incessant all along the line. At length came the point for the flank movement, and the column turned off into the fields. It had not proceeded half a mile before the enemy caught sight of us, and opened a fierce, well directed fire . from their heavy guns, by which the 78th and !64th suffered some loss. Through this, storm of round shot and shrapnel the troops quietly proceeded, till the turning point of the flank march was gained, and then, forming up in line, with artillery in the inter vals, advanced steadily down upon the enemy's position. The artillery first moved forward and engaged the heavy guns—which were pelting into us all this time—and the remainder of the troops, with the exception of the skirmishers, who were hotly engaged on our flanks, lay down. " After a few rounds at diff eren t ranges, it was found that the enemy's galls in the village were so well sheltered by walls and houses that our artil lery could not silence them. They kept up as hot a fire as ever, and their infantry too, from behind their cover, kept up a constant fire. Hereupon the 78th were ordered to .advance and take the village. They rose, fired one rolling volleyas they advanced, and then moved forward with sloped arms and measured tread, like a wall ---the rear rank locked when the word was given to charge. up as if on parade—until within 100 yards or so of 'all burst forward, like an eager pack of the Then village, i they llage hounds racing in to the kill, and in an instant they were over the mound and into the village. There was not a shot fired or a shou: uttered, for the men were very fierce, and, _the slaughter was propor- tionate. ' I've just got three ot 'ern out of as I one house, sir, said a 78th man, with a grin, to me met him at a turn of the village. " The English force were now fairly within the enemy's lines, and they went forward, taking gun after gun, and driving everything before them ; but meantime, the enemy's cavalry and a portion of their infantry had moved round, and part of our artillery had to turn round and bold them in check. At one time, indeed, our small handful of troops were completely surrounded. Tha mutineers fought fiercely and well, and if there had only been ahead to guide them, we must have fought hard to s ave even our bare lives ; but unity of purpose prevailed over multitudes. One by one their positions were carried, and the final advance of the 64th, when they charged and took a heavy gun that had up to that time been playing on our troops with murder ous effect, finally settled the business. After that there was no more regular opposition, and, just as night set in, the English force formed up and bivou acked on the plain, just beyond the grand parade ground of Cawnpore. " This was a hard fight. So many fell out on the road, that there could not be more than 1,000 men of all sorts in action on our side, opposed to at least 5,000 of the enemy. In the former actions. our artillery and skirmishers did most of the work, hut here the brunt of the battle fell on the infantry. The Sikbs are reported to have fought like devils. The fact of their mutineerbretbren's throats having been cut by the Bengal sepoys had come to their. knowledge, and rendered them even more savage than the English soldiery, if that were possible, against the mutineers. Here, more than ever, was our want of cavalry felt ; for the enemy's horse got off comparatively scatheless, besides creeping round to our rear and cutting up our wounded men. They made a dash it a small handful of our skirmishers—about a dozen of the Fusiliers—who, with their officer, Seton, had got separated from the rest. Seton called his men round him, and formed square ; the cavalry dashed at them, but swerved off from a cool, steady fire, every 1 - gullet of which brought down a man, and the little party rejoined their regiment unhurt. The only guns the enemy carried away were two Horse Artillery guns, which we could not catch—the remainder, to the number of eight, all heavy guns, remained with us. " There was supper that night, and ne bed but the wet ground, but no man wanted litter to make him sleep after such a day's work. In the middle of the night there was an alarm, and the tired force had to start up and stand to their arms again. " I cannot omit to mention here au instance of cool courage on the part of a man of the 6ith, which came to my knowledge after the action was over. Early in the fight he had his leg shattered by a round shot; and as he lay on the ground the horse men came down to cut him up. Lying on his back he shot the first—they drew back—he loaded again and shot a second—they began to move, he loaded again and shot a third—whereupon the troopers went off and left -the wounded man in his glory. This man's leg was amputated next morning, and he is now rapidly recovering. " Next morning, soon after daybreak, while wait ing for the baggage to come up preparatory to en camping, as we lay idly looking towards the belt of trees and houses aceo •s the parade ground, all at once a huge dense white pillar of smoke rose in the air, unfolding volume upon volume, moun ing still upwards in the sky, like the Genie of Arab story— followed presently by a report and concussion of the air, as when a large mortar is fired. The enemy had blown up the grand magazine and arsenal, four miles and a half distant. " And now, alas ! came intelligence which turned the joy of our victory into mourning. We learnt on the march up that about 100 of our women and children were still alive at Cawnpore. Thu thought of releasing them from their cruel bondage had been a matter of happy speculation throughout t tre camp. We now learnt from people who came in th it the Nana Sahib had caused every soul of them to be murdered in cold blood the day before, when he found the fight going against him. " Cawnpore, formerly the largest, handsomest, and wealthiest station in the north-west, was now ono desolate wilderness of roofless gutted houses. Traces of the most wanton devastation met the eye at every step—every door and gate was pulled off i s hinges. Seine officers of the force visited the place wherein the fearful ttagedy of the day had been enacted. It was a nttive house of the bettermost kind, having rooms on either side, round an inclosed inner courtyard. where these unfortunate ladies and soldiers' wives, and their children, had been confined ; and it was told to me as an actual and literal fact, that the floor of the inner room was two inches desp in blood all over—it came over men's shoes as they steppe]. Tresses of women's hair, and children's shoes, and articles of female wear, broad bats and bonnet', books, and such like things, lay sc -ered all about the rooms. There were the marks ot bullets and sword•cu son the walls—not high up, as if men had fought, but low down, and about the cor ners, where the poor crouching creatures had been cut to pieces. The bodies of the victims had been thrown indiscriminately down a well just behind the house, and were there to be seen a mangled heap, with an , arm or leg protruding here and there. If the Black Hole of Calcutta brought down such retribution on its perpetrator, what vengeance can be meted out for this ? "That same evening, intelligence came in that the Nana Sahib had destroyed himself in despair (he is still alive and in Oude), that his place Bithoor was evacuated, and that the Cawnpore insurgents had dispersed in the wildest fear. A detachment Vag instantly sent out to occupy Bithoor—they re turned next day with 16 guns from thence. The inhabitants of Cawnpore appeared right glad to get bask their old masters, having practically learnt the difference between the rule of a native prince and the English Government. They brought supplies of all kinds with the utmost readines4, and assisted in discovering and bringing forward sepoys hidden in the city, who were hung as they were caught. In the evening the deputy collector of Cawnpore was brought into camp. This man, a Mussulman, and a hi g hly-trusted servant of our Government, had been one of the Bithoor Rajah's most active supporters throughout ; and when our force was marching up, this astute scoundrel spread the report that the whole of the English troops or dered out from England to aid the Indian Govern ment had been stopped in Egypt by the Pasha, and not permitted to pass through th et country—that in consequence eight thousand English soldiers only remained to be dealt with in India, and they might easily be harassed to death. " Here, for the present, my long letter ends. The force is now engaged in crossing the broad Ganges—a most arduous task at this time of year —preparatory to marching on Lucknow. The Highlanders and some guns are over—the rest are coming fast. It is hardly too much to say that Havelock's column has reconquered India. In eight days it has marched 126 miles, fought four actions, against greatly superior numbers, in the arduous and most trying season of the whole year, and taken 45 guns. " You may observe that I give no return of killed and wounded—l do not pretend to do so. All I relate is from my own observation—the returns will give the rest. I only know that no man of - I the enemy was ever spared that was caught." THE DISASTER AT RRAH. " A Patna, July 31. " I thank God that I am alive and well able to write to you once more. I have been in great dan ger, and never expected to reach this place alive again, but God has been most merciful to me. As I dare say you would like to hear the whole story I will begin at the beginning. About a week ago, as we have long anticipated, the three native regi ments at Dinapore mutinied. The General, au old man in his second childhood, managed the whole affair very badly, or rather did nothing at all. No one knew who was in command of the Europeans, no one knew whom to look to for or ders, the General was not to be found, and the consequence was that the three regiments managed to get clear off with their arms and ammunition, and almost without losing a single man ! The General was advised and asked to send men after them, but this he altogether declined to do, and determined to keep every European in Dinapore, to take good care of himself. A day or so after the mutineers left we heard that they had gone to Arrah, where they were attacking poor Wake and party, consisting of about 12 or 13 Europeans and 50 Sikhs. Wake had strongly fortified a puckha house, and laid in lots of ammunition and food. Directly we heard of this, and that they were hold ing out well, Mr. wrote to the General to send out aid to them. At first he refused, but after re ceiving a strong letter fr om Mr. he consented, and sent off 200 Europeans in a steamer. The next day we heard that the steamer had stuck in the river, and that the General bad sent orders to recall them. Of course, as Engl'slimen, we were in a great rage at thia,—leaving a nucub:-Ir of pcor at fel ows to their fate ;so off -- and started 12 -'clock at night on Tuesday last to pi:ch into the old muff. When we got to Dinapore we found that Le had been made to change his mind, and had. >~y~ G ~-~ l V , !:INTSPAPER .„,""• „Ifkr - Vl, " 4 4\ tachments of the Queen's 10th and(37,eft • ;.- cr *faTl. -- 4 and a number of volunteers, stare slby...ale f -4 --1 • 11 1 44' • • •40 1 010''\'‘''''r•41104 l aW S °l 4l ':?"". . . . .. within 14 miles of Arrah, when therchtt 4 itfir k tiV. • n , ' ';.,ll ll k* 4 k 4 4% and marched on Arrilif , When. w station they were a , tack 4 (12 at ithlt,..ki t ' • ,diak -, 04 • na s iai • n r ."4111114 • ' ' I F II- * 3 011 - 1 - !" - 4 .

The hospital here is full of wounded, and one of the most dreadful sights I ever saw. " I give you a list of the officers killed and wounded : [ PRICE 40. STAMPRD 5D .] consented to send another steamer off, which luckily happened just to have come in. In this started 150 Europeans and 50 Sikhs ; we al together made up a force of 400 men. As Wake is one of the greatest friends I have got, I determined to give him a hand if I could, and so volunteered with seven other fellows, five of whom are dead. Well, I was up all that Tue-- day night, and at daylight on Wednesday off we started. We reached the nearest point to Arrah, on the banks of the Ganges, at about 2 o'clock, and were beginning to get dinner ready (so as to start with a good feed, as we couid not expect to get anything on theiroad) when we heard our advanced guard firing. We immediately all fell in, and went off to the place, about two miles off, where we found them drawn up before a large (nullah) river about 200 yards wide, firing away at some Sepoys on the other side. The Sepoys, when they saw us coming, ran away ; and then, as we had got so far, we thought we might as well go on. After $ delay of two or three hours in getting boats and crossing over it was nearly 7 o'clock before we got well off. From the villagers we heard that Wake was still all right and holding out, which was confirmed by the firing we heard in the direction of Arrah of big guns. It was a beautiful moonlight night, the reed a very bad one (a kutcha one in the rains), and wooded country on both sides of us. We did not see a soul ou the road, though we passed through several villages, until we came to within five miles of Arrah, where we saw a party of horse men ahead of us, who galloped off before we got within shot. About 11 o'clock the moon went down ; however, as we did not expect that the mutineers would face us, we still went on till we came within about a mile of the fortified house. We were passing a thick black mango grove to our right, when all of a sudden, without any warning,. the whole place was lighted up by a tremendous voley poured into us at about 30 or 40 yards dis tance. It is impossible _to say how many men fired into us—some say 500, some 1,500. The next thing I remember was finding myself alone, lying in the middle of the road, with a crack on the head, and my hat gone. I suppose I must have been stunned for a minute. When I recovered there were several men lying by me, but not a living soul could I see. There were lots to hear, though, for the bullets from right to left were whistling over my head. I was just thinking where our men could be, and which way I should run, when I saw the Sepoys advancing out of the grove with their bayonets within a dozen yards of me. • I fired my double barrel right and left into them and thin ran towards our men, whom I could hear shouting on the left, under a tremendous fire from both parties. Everything now was in a most dreadful confusion ; the men were all scattered in groups of fifties and twenties, firing in every direction, and, I fear, kil ling each other. At last a Captain Jones, a very fine fellow—our commander was never seen again after the first volley—got hold of a bugler and got the men together in a sort of hollow place, a half filled pond. There we alt lay down in a square. I was in the middle, with the doctor, helping him to tie up the wounds of the poor fellows, and bringing them water. The firing was all this time going on. Tire enemy could see us, as we were all dressed in white, while they were nearly naked, and behind tees and wails. However, the men tired about at random. At list the poor doctor was knocked over, badly wonndel, It was dreadful to hear the poor wounded fellows asking for help. "I shall never forget that night as long as I live. We held a c )nsultation and determined to retreat, as the enemy was at least 3,000 or 4,000 strong, and had besidesseveral cannon. Directly morning dawned we formed order, and began our retreat. The whole distance, 16 mites, we walked under a most tremendous fire. The ditches, the jungles, the houses, and in fact every place of cover along the road, was lined with Sepoys. We kept up a fire as we went along, but what could we do ? We could see no enemy, only puffs of smoke. We tried to charge, but there was nobody to charge ; on all sides they fired into us, and were scattered all over the county in groups of tens and twenties. Dozens of poor follows were knocked over within a yard of me on my right and left, but thank God, I escaped in the most wonderful way. The last five miles of the road I carried a poor wounded fellow, who begged me not to leave him, and though we had had nothing to eat for more than 24 hours, and I had had no sleep for two nights, I never felt so strong in my life, and I stepped out with the man as if he had been a feather, though he was as big as myself. Poor fellow ! the men, most of them more or less wounded, were leaving him behind, and the cowardly Sepoys, who never came within 200 yards of us, were running up to murder him. I got the poor fellow safe over the nullah ; I swain out and got a boat, put him in, and went out with a lot of others. The poor fellow thanked me with tears in his eyes. At the crossing of the nullah we lost a great many men ; they threw away their muskets to pull the boats and. to swim over, and were shot down like sheep. ".I never before knew the horrors of war, and what I have g the through I hope will make a ing impression on my mind, and make me think more of God and His great goodness to me. lam sure God spared me because he knew I was not fit to die ; and I pray God that He will prepare me, for we can truly say we know not what a day may bring forth. I had several extraordinary escapes, one bullet went between my legs as I was walking and broke a man's leg in front of me ; another bul let hit me on the back of the head, knocking me down, but hardly breaking the skin. Everything here is quiet as yet, but people are in a great panic. I cannot say that I am. Out of the 400 fine fellows that started for Arrah, nearly 200 were killed, and of the remainder I do not think more than 50 to 80 were not wounded ; out of seven volunteers five were knocked over, four killed and one wounded. This has been the most disastrous affair that has happened out here. 1 hope, however, we may soon get some more troops again from Calcutta, and get back our name. I cry to think of the way we were beaten and of the number of poor fellows who were killed.' I will send this letter at once, for perhaps the dak may be stopped, and I may not be able to send a letter in a day or two. I will write again if I can, but do not be alarmed if Ido not. The crack on my head hardly broke the skin, and is, nothing ; the bullet hit me sideways, and the folds of cloth .1 had round my hat saved me. ' c iOTH QUEEN'S. " Captain Dunbar, commanding, killed.

"We are in a very awkward position here, in trenching ourselves, and anxiously looking out for reinforcements. All the Europeans have come -in from the surrounding stations, and the place is actually crammed. The women and children are just starting for Calcutta by steamer. You cannot imagine the excitement and confusion prevailing " Troops have been sent to Patna, and we only have 200 Europeans of the 10th of the protection of the station. " The 90th (Queen's) is expected from Calcutta in a few days, and as soon as they come we shalt be safe enough.

A.s soon as the Europeans come up from Calcutta we shall be all right. The 12th Irregular Cavalry have mutinied in Tirhoot, and killed their commanding officer, Major Holmes, his wife, and the doctor." The following fragment is from a letter written. by a young officer at Barrackpore to his mother':— " Barrackpore, Aug. 8. " The mutineers of Dinapore---the 7th, Bth, 11ncl. 40th Native Infantry—are in full march for this place and expected in seven or eight days, having overpowed the small force sent against them, con sisting of 145 of her Majesty's 10th Foot, 190 of her Majesty's 37th, and 130 Sikhs ; and although our fellows fought splendidly 92 only have escaped. " The mutineers number about 4,000 men. We shall meet them with her Majesty's 53d, her Ma jesty's 35th, her Majesty's 29th, and about 18 guns, cavalry and sappers. All the prisoners taken are to be hanged instanter.' We are very jolly in deed and only want troops from home. " " August L " I have just heard that about 30 men came in last night who got separated from us in the dark, and wandered to the river, where they got off in a native boat. The authentic return I have seen ; 150 men killed, the rest wounded, except about 50 men who escaped untouched. I suppose such a disastrous affair was never heard of before in India —most dreadful mismanagement throughout. Of course we did not relieve poor Wake and his garri son. Poor creatures ; We heard that they were still holding out up to two o'clock on the day we left. We have at Dinapore only 600 Europeans, and of course cannot send any of them. How I wish the steamer with troops would arrive.

I have now the worst news to give you, the account of a serious d3felt which we have received, thus—on the evening of the 2)th, a body of Europeans, consisting of de- GENERAL HAVELOCK. "A Soldier," in writing t 3 a contemporary, says :—" I Leg to call the attention of all readers of your popular journal to the manner iu which General Havelock has bee❑ treated iu the last Ga zette, as the reward of all his recent great services. This gallant officer is termed the saviour of India in the Indian journals which have reached this country by the last mail, and his brilliant deeds well deserve the tide thus acquired, for never did any officer perform more important and glorious services under such disadvantages, and with such small means, as General Havelock has done during this terrible crisis. Mark the result. Three colo'ne!s are promoted iu the late Gazette to the rank of major-general in India (?), and the gallant Have lock, whose name has become familiar to all Eu rope, is placed third on the-list, below two other officers unknown to fame. The first of the three is said to be a very good officer, and no doubt he will prove so when tried. The second was chief of the staff of that illustrious body the Turkish Contin gent, which contrived to keep well 'out of fire during the whole (f Lhe late war, when our noble British troops were performing deeds of glory. To this office this officer was named, although he could not speak a word of any other language than his own. Now, sir, it has been said that the warrant of 1854 was framed to enable the Queen to confer higher rank on those officers, who, in the hour of danger and neces-ity did display unusual talents for command. Has this been the case with General Havelock ? Why was he not made a major general iu the army, as others have been for ser vices which were not a tithe of his ? • This is " no time to mince matters," and. if the public will nub mit to see one of the most deserving and dashing officers who has ever appeared in the hour of need treated in this scurvy manner, the people of this country will only have themselves to thank for the paucity of daring and competent officers. Redan men and Malakoff men were greatly rewardedwhen perhaps they deserved censure, but here is an offi cer who has distinguished himself, and displayed most singular capacity under very trying circum stances, mixed up with the common herd of officers in bis reward. I never saw General Havelock in my life, nor have I the least knowledge of him but it becomes the duty of every man to raise his voice against such audacious injustice and wrong. In the old- wars in India we were contending against a motley array, armed with matchlocks, spears, and swords; at present we have disciplined men to meet, armed like ourselves, and urged on by all the fury (as they imagine) of religious perse cution and religious zeal. INDIAN BETENUES. The subscriptions in aid of the sufferers by the mutiny in India, are pouring in with so hearty a good will, as to show that they who are furthest removed from the scenes of slaughter are in heart, if not in hand, making common course with their much injured fellow-countrymen. This spirit is ma nifested by many of that mercantile body who might be thought to be most liable to be influenced by the arguments of the " Peace at all price" party. It augurs well for our country that it should be found to be so sound at heart. Among that class from whom our soldiers are raised, the feeling of indigna tion at the unmerited wrongs we have experienced from the native troops in revolt, is so strong as to enable us to raise whatever number of men may be necessary to restore to us the actual mastery, which in so many instances we appear to have lost for a season. The last advices represent us as beginning to act with increased vigour, by reason of the support we are deriving from the European forces which have arrived at the disturbed districts. Sir C.

The insurgents have seized an immense booty in the Government revenues which were accumulated at Delhi and many other stations. The Sepoys are laden with the spoil, and when they are killed their dead bodies are plun dered, either by their own party or by the troops which are brought against them. So far we may be said to gain some advantage from the loss of all this treasure. But the question will often recur—Can we ifhnoaodld:scle havingei an , 0 money people will u o would not administer the affairs of India in such a manner that a loss of th's kind could never occur again ? Can we not raise our Indian revenue, and pay our troops, and make all disbursements in the civil accounts by means of paper-rupees, which would answer every useful purpose, as we conducted our affairs at home during the last great war by means English Government of paper money ?

POSTAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN GRIIAT BRITAIN' AND BELGIUM.—An important m odification of the postal relation s between the unite: kingdom and Belgium will come into effect on the Ist proximo. Hitherto the postage charge on letters has been 6d. for one not ex. ceeaing a quarter of an ounce, and 3d. for one not ex ceeding half an ounce. Prepayment was optional, but on and after the let of October, the letter rate up to half an ounce will be 41 Unless, however, there be prepay ment, the postage will be double. At the present time the transmission of printed matter other than newspapers between the two countries is almost impracticable in consequence of its being charged at the letter rate, but from the let of next month printed matter as well as n ewspapers are to be conveyed between each country on a prepayment of id. per package not exceedim g • 50 gram. mss, which is equivalent to one ounce and -wo..b.7('s. This about doubles the present postal charge upon news papers received iu this country, and imposes a new, and in the case of the large papers a very heavy postal tax upon all those sent out from Great Britain, inasmuch us since ihe Newsp•Ter Stamp Act of 1855 all newspapers sent hence to B e l g i um are exempt either from the im• pressed or the penny postage stamps. of Jf J. 0.
