In a second edition of the Ezpron last evening we
• published the summary of the Bombay TOW!, and
an abstract of the news of the Calcutta papers. We
sow give the letters of our special correspondents.
BOMBAY, Meant 18.
Doubtless the plan of Lucknow has been pub-
/shed by this time in London, and you will be able
from it to form an idea of that city, bounded on two
sides (south and east) by the Goomtee, west by the
canal, and north by the native quarters—a dense
mass of low houses and intricate lanes. Sir Colin,
at the Dilkhooehn, faced the canal, which had been
heavily fortified with earthworks. On his right lay
the Nfartinidre. Sir J. Outrank, by crossing the Goom
tee below the Martiniere on a bridge of boats, was
enabled to move into a position to enfilade the whole
of the rebel works on the canal and batter the Mar-
tini/re from the south, whilst Sir Colin pounded it
from the north-west. Oa the 10th of March the
preparations were sufficiently complete to allow of
a advance towards the canal. This was done along
the road leading from the Dilkhooeha to the Ron-
dewy. The force crossed the canal at its narrowest
part, and without much resistance occupied Banks'
House on the other side within the line of the canal
works. The movements I have described are thus
related in the despatches :

On the same day apparently when Bank's house
wee occupied, Sir James Outrank had so effectually
operated on the line of the canal works and on the
Martini/re, that those two positions were considered
a certain prize. The operation was accomplished
with seas, Sir Edward Lugard assaulting the
Martiniere with the second division, whilst the canal
works were occupied by another Rut of the force.
This important result is described in the following
lemmic despatch :

Allahabed, Monday, 9.5 a.m., from G. F. Edson-
stone to H. Anderson, Bombay.
" By the Governor-General's order, the following
telegram, j mat received from the Commander-in-Chief,
Headquarters, dated Martiniire,M archls, is forwarded
ter information. It was reported in the afternoon
of yesterday, after the fall of Kaiserbagh, that
the enemy were streaming out of the city in vaet
members in the direction of Sandal Camp. Up to the
resent moment there are rebels in the city, but we
bare no reliable information. Brigadier Compbell,
who was well placed on the left of the Alum
position, started in pursuit at 2 am. this morning,
with a very strong brigade of cavalry and two troops
of bores artillery. Brigadier-General Sir Hope
Grant advanced towards Seetapore, with the
view of interrupting fugitives who may be
tamed off by Brigadier Campbell's movements.
He has with him one thousand sum, and two
troops of horse artillery. He will be followed to-
morrow by an infantry brigade and a heavy battery.
He be directed to halt at Seetapore for instructions.
This is a direct road to Rohilcund. Her Majesty's
76th Regiment has been ordered to leave Cawnpore
tomorrow en route for Meerut."
My last letter left Sir Hugh Rose at Sanger.
Brigadier Stuart, in the vicinity of Goons, and Orr's
brigade waiting to be joined by Sir Hugh between
Goons and Jhanti.
Sir Hugh Rae left Sanger on the let of March
for Mashy's, 28 miles to the North West, and en-
ausped in the neighbourhood of a small hill fort and
village, which, after a short skirmish and bombard-
smut by Captain Macdoonall, wee carried, with the
leas to the enemy of 50 killed and 52 prisoners. On
the 3rd the march was resumed, and the force moved
fees Beene in the direction of 'banal, through the
paw of Madinpore, in front of which lay a body of
tie enemy, supposed to be 9,000 strong, with six
gam is position, amidst thick jangles, and sur-
rounded by a deep trench. The enemy opened on
the advance of bur Hugh, and our artillery replied
with shot and shell. This after a time caused
the enemy to disperse, and they were
charged up the hill by four companies of
the 3rd Europeans, led by Colonel Liddell. The
rebels made but little resistance after this charge,
but fled into Madinpore, sharply pursued by the
cavalry and part of Major Orr's Irregulars. They
never rallied till they got to Sera), a small fort in
the neighbourhood. But even this seemed to them
insecure, and in the night they evacuated it. leaving
qualities of guns, grain, and ammunition behind
them. On the sth, the force advanced still in the
direction of J hansi to Murrowra, where there was a
'moor fort 1 the town, besides, being partly sur-
rounded by water. The enemy, however, did not
wait lire may more than at Staab and retired to
