TH.g LATE 'LIEUTENANT' SALKELD, Our readers :will learn with much regret..the death of Lieutenant Philip Sakeld, of the Bengal Engineers, who rec en tly di sp l aye d suc h d a ring and gallantry in fi r i ng the siege train at thoCashmere ztitt; of Delhi. He gradually sunk under the "igianda which he received on that occasion, and died at Delhi about the 10th-a Octvber. Philip Salkeld was a Dortetihiro than by con nection and parentage. His - ratklier was the Xtev. .R.*Salkeld, who was some years ago resident a t Servan, Ile et Vilaine, and his soil.was born on the 13th of Oct.,. 1830, stA)iatmat the time of his death he had only just completisi the th year of his age. He obtained his nomination-to the service from the late Mr. William Astell, father of one of the pre sent directors of the East India Company, and received his early education at the Royal Military College of Addiscombe, where he was selected for ,the Engineers in 1847, and presented at: the same time with the highest prizes in mathe matics and French. On quitting Addiscombe he went to the Royal Engineer establishment at Chat ham, where he remained for nearly two years study ing the theory of engineering and fortification. He quitted that institution in January, 1850, and ar rived at Calcutta in the following June, when he joined the corps of Sappers and Miners. In June, 1853, he was selected to officiate as 'executive ingi neer at Meerut, and in the following November was transferred to the charge of the Grand Trunk road, on which he was continually employed down to December last, when he succeeded to the office of executive engineer of the Delhi division. He joined the force before Delhi shortly after the death of General Anson, and was specially thanked by General Sir Archdale Wilson for his daring exploit in blowing open, the Cashmere-gate —an operation equally difficult and dangerous, and for which he was rewarded on the spot with the Victoria cross. We deeply regret that the name of so able, intre pid, and promising an officer , a' Lieut Sal eld should have been added to the Already long list of those who have paid their liveaas tho price of sup pressing the Indian mutiny and of re-establishing our Indian empire on what, we trust, will prove even a firmer basis than before. • HEALTH OP LONDON DURING TEE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar General.) The sickness which is now so generally diffused throughout the metropolitan population continues to develope itself in a high rate of mortality. The deaths registered in London, which rose in the pre vious week to 1,382, were of nearly equal amount in the week that ended last Saturday (Nov. 28), the number having been 1,373. In the 10 years 1847-56 the average number of deaths in the week corresponding with last week was 1,183. But the deaths of last week occurred in an increased popu lation, and with the view of comparison the average must be raised in proportion to the increase, iu which case it will become 1,301. It appears, there fore, that the deaths now returned exceed by 72 the number which the average rate of mortality, as ascer tained for the close of Nov., would have produced, At this period in 1847 influenza began to be very prevalent, and in a population which was not so great as it is now the deaths foam all causes rose to 1,677. The births registered last week exceeded the deaths in the same peridcl by 227. In this return the number of cases in which in- iluenza is recorded under its specific design . atiou is only 13 ;in the previous week it Was nine. The epidemic has certain distinguishing features ; and. in all cases where medical attendants observe it, either as the primary disease, or as supervening on pulmonary or other complaints, it is important that it should be specially mentioned by that name which is both popular and scientific. It deserves to be noticed that the deaths referred to diseases of the respiratory organs,:which class, does not include plithisis in the tables, were precisely the same nu merically as thoSe in the - samextassitr - t!te-previous week—the number in each case having been 390. This number exceeds the corrected average of 10 weeks corresponding with last week by - 102. Of the 300, by far the largest proportion arose from bronchitis—namely, 217 deaths, which are thus distributed according to the ages at which they oc curred :-75 occurred in the period from birth to 20 years, only 5 between 20 and 40 years, 33 in the period 40-60, 87 at GO-80, an d 17 a t Byears and upwards. But to correctly estimate the widely different degrees in which bronchitis is fatal in dif ferent stages of life it is evident that these numbers must be compared with the numbers living at the several periods. In the last four weeks the deaths from bronchitis increased or decreased in the following numbers :- 116, 152, 227, and 217 ; pneumonia 115, 108, 127, and 143 ; whooping cough, 4Q, 53, and 58 ; phthisis, 137, 151, 159, and 171. The deaths of six nonagenarians and one centena rian are included in the returns. Among the former are two women whose respective ages were 95 and 96 years. The most advanced in life was a man who died in Trafalgar-road, Greenwich, said to have been 100 years old. Of 43 cases in which scarlatina was fatal four ()c -owed in the sub-district of St. John's, Westminster, and also four in that of Lambeth Church (2d part). A child - died of starvation, a verdict of manslaugh ter having been recorded in this case ; and a erros• sing-sweeper also perished from starvation. A man who had been employed by a farrier died from glanders. Last week the births of 803 boys and 797 girls, in all 1,600 children, were registered in London. Iu the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1847- 56 the average number was 1,487. - At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.575 in. The instrument fell from 30.18 in. at the beginning of the week to 29.09 in. on Tuesday, the lowest to'.nt in the week. The mean temperature of the week was 41.6 deg., which is 0 . 4 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as deter mined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest reading of the thermometer was 554 deg. on Monday ; and the lowest 30 . 5, deg., which occurred on Wednes day. The mean daily range of the week was 13.4 deg. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and the mean air temperature was I'9 deg. ' The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 45.9 deg. The wind on the first three days was in the south and south-west; after wards it was mostly in the north-east. The amount of rain measured was 0.78 in., most of which fell on Tuesday. The first snow this winter fell on the morning of Thursday in large flakes. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS. NUMBER OF DEA.THS FROM ALL OAUSES REGISTERED IN THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, NOV. 28.

[The following appeared in part of our impression of yes terday :—] The adjourned general meeting of the shareholders in this undertaking was held this day at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street—Mr. E. Denison, M.P., Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The former meet ing, it will be recollected, was adjourned to enable the directors to appeal to the Court of Chancery, relative to the liability of the preference shareholders to participate with the ordinary shareholders in the losses arising from Itedpath's defalcations. On Saturday week last the Lord Chancellor and the Lords Justices delivered their decision, placing preference shareholders in the same position as guaranteed stock, and relieving them from the losses accruing in Gutieequimoo of such defalca tions. The meeting was very numerously attended, and much angry feeling was displayed by the shareholders throughout the whole of the proceedings. The chairman and directors were received with loud cheers, interspersed with a few hisses ; the former predominated to a great extent. ven T Aii h nr e a. S tiih e e c u n Gm e n r eEe e st rt ,in y having bge,foarne read dthietscoob the mjemcte, advertisement con ncement of business, called attention to the use of proxies, urging that if they now used the proxi es i ssue d f or a former occasion they were illegal (Cries of " No, no," " Hear," and uproar, with cries of "Don't be bullied down by any one.") He referred the legal advisers of the directors to the 7th Victoria, which provided that a proxy for one meeting might be used by, the directors at another. ("Hear," and uproar.) The CHAIRMAN said that they were assembled to con sider the report of the directors issued in August last, with one that had been recently issued. The assets for the first half-year of 1857 left an available balance for a dividend of upwards of 183,0001., after paying the interest upon the debenture bonds. He should now content himself with asking the meeting to receive the report that had now been in their hands for the last two or three months. Mr. WILSON—Won ' t you reply to the remarks stated by Mr. Hughes, and condescend to give us your opi nion on the legality or illegality of using such proxies. (Hear, hear, and confusion.) The CHAIRMAN —I now move the reception and adop tion of the report. (Cheers and hisses.) M r . HEATH rose to make some observations on the reports. (Cries of "Off, off," hisses and cheers.) The CHAIRMAN —Practically speaking, you are too late. You should have spoken before I put the ques tion. (Hisses and uproar ; a voice- -" Do you mean to burk all expression of feeling on the report.") Mr. HEATH, after some difficulty, was listened to for a few minutes patiently, in the course of which he re plied to the paragraph in the directors report relative to the conduct of the preference shareholders. He at tempted to defend the latter, but he was soon assailed with hisses—(cries of " Off, off," " Time, time," and " Question, question"), which continue d throu g hout his address, and prevented his being heard with any degree of accuracy. \lr. Josue( WILSON asked if the meeting was called upon to pass the accounts for the last half-year ? The CHAIRMAN—I have asked you to receive the report? After some remarks from several shareholders, Mr. BILLINGS opposed the report, on the ground that the statements contained in it were incorrect. He characterised the publishing of the holdings of every individual shareholder as a breach of commercial trust. It was mot money that made the man, but his conduct, and a small holder might be as good a manager, and have as great a desire to promote the undertaking as a large holder. He denied that preference shareholders were partners in the concern, but mere money lenders. The arguments of the directors:relative to the detection of Redpath's forgeries were as cracked as "Big Ben." (Laughter.) Mr. GREENING charged the directors with a deliberate untruth in what they had published in the 6th paragraph of the second report issued, and dated 2Gth November. Mr. WILLIAMS and other gentlemen attempted to ad dress the meeting, but were unable to obtain a hearing. Mr. HUGHES called on the chairman to preserve order. (Cries of "The meeting is packed," and uproar.) Mr. J. WILSON again rose to address the meeting, and was met with cries of " Spoke." The CHAIRMAN —You are out of order. You have already spoken on the motion. (Cheers, and cries of " Shame.")._ Mr. J. WILSON—I have not spoken to the question ; I merely asked a question. The CHAIRMAN--I have no objection to hear your eloquent speech. It rests with the meeting. (Hisses, and cries of " Insult.") Mr. VALENTINE KNIGHT rose to address the meeting, and was met with cries of " Another preference share holder," to which he replied "he was sorry for those unfortunate shareholders who were not." (Hear, and laughter.) He called on the meeting to calmly consider their position, and lauded the management of the line by the chairman and directors, though he condemned that gentleman's haughty feeling in the chair towards the meeting. He should support the adoption of the report. Mr. GEISLER (a member of the committee of share holders) rose to propose a resolution sanctioning the expenses of the committee. _ _ The CHAIRMAN said he was out of order, but would call on him at the proper time. He then said that before he put the motion for the adoption of the report, he would make one or two remarks. If he bad ever said anything discourteous to any one, it had been in conse quence of provocation given at the time, and he was very sorry for it. (Loud cheers.) He reminded them that a person occupying the responsible position he held had a great deal to go through. He was ready to let bye-gones be bye-gones, and forget all that had passed, and he asked them to do the same. - Mr:HUGHES—Does that include your observations in your report ? (Cheers and hisses.) The CHAIRMAN said he made these remarks purely from personal feelings, never having intended in his life to insult any one. (Cheers.) He had been on many occasions provoked, and bad no doubt spoken at the time candidly what he meant. (Cheers.) He then put the motion which had been seconded, which was carried, two only holding up their hands against it. The CHAIRMAN then moved the payment of a divi dend in accordance with the teeing of the report, re marking that the preference shareholders would be paid in full, which had ever been the desire of the directors. Mr. VAL. KNIGHT (a preference shareholder) seconded the motion. Mr. BILLINGS (a preference shareholder) said that if the preference shareholders were not paid interest he should consider the directors had robbed him. The motion was put and carried, two only holding up their hands against it. The CHAIRMAN declared the ;notion carried, and said an effort would be made to pay the dividends in a forts night. Mr. GREENING (a third class preference shareholder) moved a vote of censure on the chairman and directors, in the course of which he opened up the case of ihe preference shareholders. He said the question was, whether they were liable for the thousands and tens of thousands of pounds of dividend the shareholders ought to have received. The speaker read various extracts from the chairman's previous speeches, in ,the course of which he was desired to " cut it short," but he angrily replied, "I shall use my diserellion about that." He proceeded at great length, and amidst much confusion, to reiterate most of the chairges that have been urged against the directors for their conduct with reference to the Redpath frauds, and the subsequent litigation with regard to the prefer ence shareholders. Mr. HUGHES seconded th e motion. His wish rwas to blame the Chairman alone, because it was well kW:mu that he was the autocrat and despot of the line, and the directors only his puppets. (Cheers, and cries of No, no.") It was quite clear from the investigation that had take* place that the chairman had sufficient knowledge in time to prevent the perpetration / fit the Redpath frauds. He had therefore,been guiltFp . ..l4ross neg)i gence sufficient to render him personally liable with hii colleagues for the losses inflicted on the shareholders. He protested against the use of proxies on : this occasion, and said he should take means to prevent the using of them if the directors persisted in doing so. Mr. SCOTT proposed an amendment, as a means of amicably settling the question, to the effect that the directors were chargeable with neglect in placing too much confidence in the officials of the company, tied the secretary in affixinghis signature to the dividend warrants, as presented to him in bundles, without checking the amounts, had been guilty of the grossest negligence,and had afforded a temptation to the commission of Crime, and hence the means of precipitating the issue of 219,000/. fraudulent stock, had thereby forfeited the confidende of the shareholders, and ought to be super seded. Mr. LUCK seconded the amendment. Mr. FENWICK defended the conduct of the secretary from the attack that bad been made upon him, urging that it would have been impossible for any one to have guarded against the villainy of such an insidious; vaga bond a 9 Repath. Mr. Sergeant WELLS advised the meeting not to adopt a course that would tend to the injury of the railway stock. lie eulogized the management of the line by the directors, illustrating it by a reference to the weekly receipts amounting to 23,0001. on a capital of 11 millions, greater in proportion than the receipts dn any other line. He condemned this attack on the directors, which he said emanated from professional agitatdrs and would-be railway reformers. Mr. WATERS (one of the committee) said that they bad done their best to benefit the undertaking. He considered the secretary a truly honest man, but he did not possess sufficient ability for the efficient discharge of the duties of the office. He then referred to the ap pointment of the secretary, alleging that it was owing to the chairman, who made it a condition on his taking office. The SECRETARY—It is not true. It's a falsehood. You never uttered a grosser falsehood. (Cheers.) Mr. WITHERS, after referring to the many officials that had been named as the victims of their wrath, said that probably the "auditors" were as much to blame as any of the officials. (Fkar, hear, and laughter.) He, however, did not intend to charge them with neglect of duty, but the real party to blame was the unscrupulous forger who had fallen into the hands of the law and been justly punished. It was impossible to get their money back again, and the best thing they could now do was to forget the past, accept the chairtnan'a. hand some apoL.gy for anything argry that he might have said, and look forward to the future management of the directors to speedily retrieve their position. He called upon the mover of the motion and amendment to withdraw them, so as to enable the shareholders to become a united company for the mutual benefit of all interested. (Cheers.) Mr. J. WILSON (preference shareholder) proceeded to address the meeting, remarking that those who objected to hear what speakers had to say had better leave the meeting. He called on the shareholders to ask for as explanation of the law charges in connection with the RedpAth frauds, more especially with re!erence to the appeal to the Lord gtpucell.or. _ _ The uproar and confusion at this time was very great, two or three shareholders speaking at once. Order having been restored, After some remarks from Mr. J. WILSON, The Ceransmarr, in reference to remarks that had been made on his personal and written observations, said that he challenged them to find a railway chairman who bad had such strange language used towards him as be .had, and if he had not had the most sincere respect for those whose property was embarked in the undertak ing, and that he was not at liberty to be affronted at those observations, no consideration would have induced him to remain, BS chairman of the hoard of directors. (Cheers.) Ile had done his duty to the shareholders and the public, and no taunt or language used as it had been towards him would drive him from the position he then ocoupied. Knowing, as he did, that he enjoyed with the directors the confidence of the majority of the shareholders—(cheers)—referring to the motion of censure; he said that in February or March last, when Mr. Greening was in possession of as many facts , relative to the Redpath fraud as now, he was a candidate for the direc tory, but rejected, and in August he gave notice of the present vote of shareholders. Mr. HUGHES—But you would not have him as a director. (Rear, and cheers.) The CHAIRMAN —You aro right, and that explains the present motion. (Cheers.) Mr. GREENING denied that he was aware of any infor mation relative to the affair until after the report of the committee was issued. The CITAIIIMAN then proceeded to defend the conduct of the directors and officials relative to the Redpath defalca tions, and in doing so gave a history of their proceedings, which has been so often and so fully placed before the public. When the discrepancies were dis covered he informed the secretary that unless they were found out by the next time he came to town, he would put in a new set of clerks, and bottom the thing in spite of them. The consequence was, that the secretary and the assistant took such measures as to discover that there had not been errors but frauds com mitted, and on the following day having satisfied himself they were so, he took the necessary measures for the issue of a warrant against Redpath that led to his apprehension and subsequent conviction and transports. tion. (Hear, hear.) He had no desire to shrink from a vote of censure if the meeting thought the directors deserved it. He had taken the responsibility on himself, and would take all the chances of the verdict, feeling co n fident that he might appeal to them and Mr. Greening that the director's' conduct was in this respect blameless. (Cheers.) Mr. GREENING--I must say I think otherwise. (Hisses ) The CHAIRMAN said the meeting might throw as much dirt on him as they pleased, but that would not induce him to throw it on others. He vindicated, as he bad done from the first, the conduct of all the officials con nected with the line (except that consummate villain, Redpath) and expressed his belief that they were free from the slightest tinge of fraud. On the part of himself and directors, he should meet the motion of censure with a direct negative, but he asked the mover of the amendment reflecting on the secretary to with draw it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. SCOTT accordingly withdrew his amendment. Mr. CROOKSON then moved another amendment ex pressieg a vote of confidence in the directors. The the o said stehcatn on the part of the directors, hed amendment was not put, and, rath erli p All permission of th e mover and secon d er, h e would C l tdh a t w ould rather not put it. Ul t i ma tely the second am en d ment was a l so with drawn, and the original motion was put and negatived with 1. e h a e by a large majority, amidst loud and repeated cheering. Mr. GREENING declined going to a ballot. This closed the business of the ordinary meeting. It was then made special, to consider the report of the committee appointed in August, and to pass a resolution for discharging the expense incurred by them in pur suing their inquiry, amounting to 5661. Mr. GEISLER, one of the committee, moved resolu tions to that effect. Mr. Sergeant WELLS objected to the payment of the amount, characterising the affair as a job. The com mittee was ostensibly appointed for investigating the Redpath frauds, but the first 20 pages were devoted to the question of railway policy. That wasa difficult ques tion, yet these gentlemen, Messrs. Geisler, Malins, and Waters, had thought proper to enter on an investiga tion of a question with which they were incompetent to deal. (Cheers ) The CHAIRMAN objected to the payment on public grounds. He declined to ask the shareholders to con tribute one farthing towards his answer to it. (Cheers.) Mr. MALINS intimated that if the amount was not paid h e should endeavour to enf orce it in a court of law. Ultimately the resolution for the payment of the committee's expenses was carried. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors termi nated the proceedings, which commenced at 1.1 o'clock in the mcrning, and terminated at 4 o'clock in the after noon. A. meeting of creditors of Messrs. Rose, Higgins, and Rose was held on Monday at Wolverhampton, when a composition of 63. BJ. i n t h e poun d was o ff e red and refused. The liabilities are stated to be 72,5011., and the wsets are estimated at 29,417/. It was ultimately decided to place the estate under the bankruptcy law.,, NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

Reinforcements for the 94th Regt., to the number of 21 men, were also ordered to be held in readiness to embark with the detachments for India, but yesterday an order was received at Chatham cancelling the former order for their embarkation, and directing them to proceed to K'lymouth, to join their regiment at that station and proceed with it overland to India. Yesterday the whole of the troops under orders to embark were inspected on the -. general parade-ground at Chatham Barracks by Col.

An order was likewise received for First Lieutenant E. Spry, and 20 non-commissioned officers and men to em bark on board the Calypso, 18, fitting for sea at Chatham. The officers and men were immediately inspected by Lieut.-Colonel R. J. M'Killop, and embarked in a very short time after the order was issued.

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

CAMP OF THE MOVEABLE COLUMN SOUTH-EAST OF AGRA, OCT. 16 I don't think I have ever mentioned a notable and somewhat absurd feature of the rebellion—tire electric guns ; but they are so continually before me that I must disburden my mind of their. To pre serve the electric telegraph posts they were inserted in enormous iron screws, into the hollow of which the poles were inserted. It struck some ingenious native to make these into cannon. A hole was drilled near the apex, sometimes some iron bands were put round to increase the strength, the piece was then mounted on a small gun carriage made for the purpose, and the result was a " lope"—that great instrument of terror to the minds of the na tives. The plan has met with vast favour, and these guns swarm all over the country. There is no end to the number of cannon now said to be in every one's hands. They are loaded with a rough grape, and are certainly fired. Whether they ever do any execution I cannot say ; they sometimes burst, but also they are certainly sometimes fired without bursting. I believe the effect is principally moral, but it is a very ridiculous perversion of our most recent progress. To return to our history. On the sth we occupied another district station, Allyghur, where a party of fanatic Mahomedans had the temerity to make a stand with two real guns of native manufacture, and a park of electric guns. They were dispersed in afe Tif minutes, when the Horse Artillery galloped up, and very many fugitives were cut up by the Cavalry. Next morning the Irregular Cavalry made a raid on the head-quarters of two rebel Thakoors, caught them in the act of decamping, and cut them up with their followers ; after which their town was given up to fire and plunder. So the district of Allyghur was pretty nearly recovered. Meanwhile the main bodyof the beaten mutinous army from Delhi, which had made some stay at Muttra and set up a bridge of boats there, had crossed into the Doab, and, consequent on the delay in our progress, we found. that they were here two long marches- ahead of us. They had 22 guns, but (as we are told) very little ammunition and a vast quantity of plunder. They were in a very con fused and undisciplined state, though their numbers were undoubtedly very large. They were under stood to be going, part of them to Bareilly and part into Oude—to Lucknow and Cawnpore, they said. They showed no disposition whatever to fight us ; on the contrary, the direct road to 13areilly was given up, and they hurried down the Grand Trunk Road in a body. There remained of the regi ments which retreated from Delhi only the Neernuch Brigade (Which had formerly attacked Agra). These, under one Beera Singh, de clined to join the others, and they marched to meet the Mhow Brigade, which had never been at Delhi, but, after some stay at Gwalior, had separated from the Gwalior Contingent and crossed the Chumbul to Dholpore, where they Lad obtained or taken from the Rajah three large brass guns to add to their own field-pieces. The two brigades uniting formed a considerable force, with much cavalry and 13 guns, and they threatened Agra with a second attack. The moveable column was 'therefore urgently called for, and, making a very long forced march, it wound under the fort, a gal lant spectacle, gladdening the eyes of the long isolated garrison, amid their hearty plaudits. The troops bivouacked on the cantonment parade ground, awaiting the gradual arrival of their tents and baggage, on that morning of the 10th of Octo ber, and the greater portion of the officers dis persed to see and breakfast with their friends in the fort. Now Agra, the bead-quarters of the Civil Government and of a crowd of refugees, was full of purveyors of intelligence, official and non-official. There was nothing that happened for a long way round of which 50 safe people had not their own particular and circumstantial intelligence. - The military arrangements for guarding against sur prises, stratagems, and treacherous enemies were also the most perfect ever known. The authorities managed to make the lives of their friends tho roughly miserable by the excess of their precau tions. It was impossible to go anywhere or do anything without being harassed out of one's pa tience. Well, on this morning of the 10th f.:r the first time in the history of beleaguered Agra, all the newsmongers were of f one4i.ccord,,thAtia:d all cer-_ tain intelligetee that thenititineerA; after threat- . ening to cross the small Kharee river, 10 miles dis tant, had failed to do so, and retreated, and were then six miles on the other side. It was also found that they were unable to get the big guns over the river. They were clearly making off ou hearing of the approach of the column. So, friends arrived, enemies flying, an impassable stream between, and military precautions unrivalled, it well might be that all Agra breakfasted that morning in peace and security, with relieved minds and grateful hearts. But suddenly, while breakfast was in every man's mouth, a big gun was heard, and another, and - another, and many more ; people started— " Oh, no ; it must be a salute, though rather irre gular." Still more guns ; then people were seen hurrying from cantonment—the camp was attacked. Ye+, sa it was. Among their many ingenious pre cautions the Agra authorities had neglected one very simple one—viz., to send some one with his eyes open to look down the road, and the enemy had quietly marched in big guns and all, and there was not one signal of alarm till they actually opened fire on our disordered camp and knocked down several men and horses. Then there was of course a scene of wild confusion. There was no command and no anything, and camp followers and horses fled in all directions. If the enemy's cavalry and infantry had been pushed in the result might have been most disaitrous, but, native like, they first waited to see the effect of their big guns. That delay was fatal to them. Our guns got into action, our cavalry mounted, and when I galloped up to the ground we were returning their fire. Then their cavalry did charge right into the parade in a great " gol." But they were too late. They took a detached and disabled gun for a moment, and they were so completely among us that the artillery could not fire on them. But the tired Sikhs sitting on the ground formed square with the utmost coolness, and fired well into them. The Lancers were ready, and charged them as the Lancers can charge. They were broken and de feated ; yet some of them did actually sweep right round the camp and cantonments, and created such a panic among the general population as scarce was seen—every one riding over every one else in the mist indiscriminate manner ; in fact, there never was and never will be so complete a surprise. But by this time commanding-officers had come on the field, and every arm was in action. Our artillery fought nobly—in fact all did ; and though it was some time before we could find exactly where we were and where the enemy was, and they attacked on three sides at once, eventually they were repulsed and began to retreat. In fact, I think it must be that in sur prising us they surprised themselves. They could hardly have known what they were attacking, or surely they would have made a better stand. Once they were repulsed it was all over with them. Atter the charge their cavalry never showed but in the distance. As soon as they were clearly in retreat we followed, and before we had gone•very far they had abandoned their three big guns,,and their re treat approached to a flight. Here was enough for a moderate man. Our troops, it might be fairly said, had had enough of it ; a halt was ordered. But another sort of men came into play in the right place. At Agra, the command was taken by Briga dier Cotton, called " Gun Cotton." He would not halt, and pushed on with fortunate dash. Speedily the enemy were completely dispersed and routed, and they hardly returned our fire. Their infantry merely showed at the edges of the fields and then fled through them. Soon we found and took their camp, then we came on their baggage, which they gradually abandoned. Our Horse Artillery from time to time galloped up and opened fire ; then that became unnecessary, and small bodies of cavalry continued the chase. Eventually 10 or 12 well-mounted officers made everything fly from the road, while the cavalry hunted up the fugitives on either side. Never was dispersion more complete. All the guns (13) and the baggage were taken, and no six of the infantry went away together. Those who saved themselves did so by hiding in the high fields, and they were no doubt numerous. There was, in fact, an end of the Mhow and Neemuch brigades, excepting the fugitive cavalry, and, after a ten-mile chase, the troops returned to relieve Agra. The Sikh cavalry behaved admirably. The state of things is now this : there is no open armed opposition of any considerable forces north of the Chambal. In Gwalior, the Maharajah still keeps aloof from the mutineers with his own troops and some of the Contingent whom he has gained over, including, I believe, most of the cavalry. Of infantry, the mutinous Contingent have now but four regiments, but they have a very large artillery—about 30 field-pieces and a magazine and third-class siege train. Though they have often threatened to atlack Agra, they have not done so, k and have throughout followed a separate policy of their own, They are now paid to_be about to march
