LONDOk, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, 1868.

and roar Add guns, part of Mead's Horse.
These left Paws» by forced marches on the 37th
of August. At Powrie rrU the fort guns, 17 in
number, were destrbyed and part of the strongest
side of the works was dismantled and blown up,
and so rests the eampaigs in that part of Central
India.

There have been expedition*, however, Ii hazed
in the direction of Goons which wear attended with
a ooneiderable amount of success. Towards the end
of August two oolumns were sent out from the some
of Sir Hugh Rae's triumphs, cce of them to My-
=peen. This column consisted of detachment. from
the hal Enropmes and 4th Bombay Native Influttry,
with two runs of the Stopeal contingent, and 60
3rd Light Cavalry, under Captain Monunvir, of the
24th Bombay Native Infantry. The farce was
divided, and the 94th, with the cavalry, had the
good fortune to fall In with the enemy, and kill a
number of them, arse Mynapore, before the others
came up. The meowd adman went eat westward,
towards Gomm, coda the eommand of Clobinel Lid-
dell, but had not, up to the latest dates, met the
enemy.
In Oude, the hunt after rebels has been equally
vigorous. Sir Hope Grant having relieved Fyzabed
on the 6th of August, marched to Sultanpore, where
ley 18,000 of the enemy under Bailee Madho and.
ether chiefs. He oceapied the right portion or can-
i'muaint without apposition, and enbeagaently mused
the doeuttee, driving the main body el re de the
eountry to the north east, whilst came i the
stream and threatened to cross bite eialYuMl add,
Behar. Several steamers, however, have hue seat
from Diaspore up to Bullish to sop dojos!. of
the Ganges, and all boats that wadi he found km
been destroyed. The following etenant of a plucky
affair in the vicinity of Lucknow will show that the
honours granted to Mr. Kavanagh have not been
bestowed in vain.
On the 10th Captain Dawson, with Mr. Kavanagh,
the civil offioer who distinguished himself by guiding
Sir Colin Campbell into Lucknow, with 660 military
police, proceeded to witness an assemblage of the
reminders who had agreed to meet at Bahimabed.
One of the chief men was anxious to assist us in
restoring a friend of ours to his poaition. The police
had hardly get half way when this man wrote,
warning them that the malcontent portion of the
meeting had been reinforced, and now mustered
3,000 Wintry and 1,200 cavalry. Nothing daunted,
oar little party determined to push on. When
within a mile of the town they observed the enemy's
cavalry hovering in their front. Dawson charged
them at once, and drove them into the town, driving
them from street to street. At a corner a gun,
placed in good parities, soddenly opened upon then.
As they approached it was withdrawn, when our
men dished after it, under a heavy fire from
the loopholed walls. It was overtaken as it
entered a large wooden gate, and captured
instantly. The draft cattle had, however, strayed,
and our men were exposed to such a frightful fire
while securing it that they were withdrawn into
better ration for commanding the enemy. The
gun being at length secured, was very effectively
turned against its late owners. The buildings were
all in our poseeesion rove the gate, and this was now
knocked down, when its defenders surrendered them-
selves on promise of their lives, Is this very bril-
liant little action we had 12 killed and 16 wounded ;
the enemy had 70 killed, 26 wounded, and 26 made
prisoners. The soldiers of a friendly chief who had
accompanied us as allies played the part of the brave
Belgians at Waterloo—fled the moment the fire
began, and re-appeared when the victory we. over.
Burred Sing, who had ?roamed to be our bind
and gave es the information, never joined
us at all until after we were in pommies
of the place, when he applied for an escort to
protect him. Not only hair this victory proved im-
portant in itself, but it shows the enemy what raw
levies under English discipline and command can
effect without either gene or cavalry. 630 newly
raised policemen drove 4,000 of the rebels, provided
with cavalry and artillery, out of a highly defensible
town where the buildings were loopholed and every
bowie a fortress. We have not the less some 30,000
men in Gads or around its borders in arms against
ne, but some of the large chiefs are beginning to
drop in. As the fair weather opens operations will
be resumed with greater activity, and as the utter
hopelessness of their cause must be beginning now
to become apparent even to the blindest, it is to be
hoped that by New Year's Day tranquillity will be
to a greater extent restored betwixt the Ooomtee
and the 'limns.

In Behar there u oonstant skirmishing with rebels
without much variation in the results ; the enemy see
always defeated.
The weather is unusually warm here for the s*-
son, the fall of rain this monsoon having been awls
below the average. The governor, Lord Et
stone, and all the high dignitaries are at Poes
where an opera, the first in India, has been played
with the utmost success.
