had won for himself a name not only on sea but on
land. The fame of his conspicuous and daring Ber-
rie,' in the batteries before Sebastopol was still freoh
in men's minds, when he again disembarked his guns
at Calcutta, and, with his bead of British tars,
pushed up the country with surprising 'peril',
and battered his way, under Sir Colin CAMPBELL,
into Lucknow. A few days later this gallant sea-
man, with his sailors and his heavy guns, was seen
advancing among the skirmishers on the enemy's
position at Cawnpore--a spectacle which, as Sir
Cottle CAMPBELL declared, he witnessed with
admiration and surprise. But the exploits of this
sailor-soldier were drawing to a close. He was
wounded at the siege of Lucknow, and
took the field. There was something about PEEL
which, it is said, recalled the great Napion. He
had the daring and the dash, the frankness of heart
and buoyant courage, of the hero of Trafalgar. It
was impossible not to love him. 'leeway seamen
wept bitterly when they heard that he was wounded,
and young midshipmen longed for the honour of
serving under his fag. It was pleasant to anticipate
the day when he would command the Channel fleet,
and teach the enemies of England the same lesson
they had so often learnt before. Sir WILLIAM Pitxt..

countrymen watched hie career with a peculiar inte-
rest—they will hew of its sudden close with the
deepest regret.

Nor is aim the only lose which the army in India
has eastaitred. The nusionr of the death of the
gallant Brigadier ADRIAN HOPI is confirmed. H.
was killed on the 13th of April, in an attack on the
fort of Row...

It is sow clear that the theatre of war is trans.
faired to Rohileund. The rebels have concentrated
in Baieilly, which is fortified, and, If the accounts
are to be believed, will require a siege. At all event.
it is certain that the Cot eurtnert-mertter has a
siege train with ►ire ; and the Pereign-odice tele-
gram anticipates the investment of the place on the
10th of May. Judging from the accounts, Sir
roue tireertt. determined, after the taking'
of I.ucknow, to follow the great body et
rebels, and to defeat them wherever they
could be found. No doubt if he could have
succeeded' in annihilating the rebel army at Leek-
now he would have avoided a hot-weather dab.
paign, end would have saved many valuable lives
But that city had a circuit of 20 miler, and, accord-
ing to Sir COLIN, could not be invested by the force
at his disposal. It may, however, be doubted
whether, by means of temporary forts commanding
each ether, lines might cot have been drawn round
the city which would have compelled a speedy sur-
render, or would have furnished the means of in-
dicting distraction on the enemy in their attempt

the rebel army hie escaped, and, se we have mei&
awaits the arrival o' Sir COLIN CAMPBNLL at Ba-
reilly. That town lies 153 miles east of Delhi, on

the left bank of the Jot*, a tributary of the Western
Ramgaaga.
If the Government telegram is to be trusted, no
Tess than four columns are now directed upon it.
The brigades of General l'sNNn►ATttra and General
lowan were advancing, one from the south-west, the
other from the north-west, and had made their way
to within fifty miles of Bareilly, whilst Sir COLLO
CAMPBELL himself, with the division under Writ-
rots, had entered Shabjeanpoor, some fifty miles
south of Bareilly, on the 30th of April. Bareilly is
a strategical point of conaidereble importance, for '
through it moat of the roads from the North of
India to Lucknow par. It seems, there-
fore, that Brigadier Jones, who started from
Roorkee, a little eastward of Meerut, and hes
already reached Mooradabad, occupies the roads
from the north-west, whilst the COMILANDER-121-
CHIRP, advancing from the south, occupies the roads
in that direction. But the roads to the east of
Bas illy are still open, and to some extent those on
the west. It seems probable, therefore, that unless
the COMIRANDER-IN-CIIIRE succeeds in investing
Bareilly, precisely the same result will attend his
operations against that city as attended those against
Lacknow. The English army will come in at one
gate and the rebel army will march out at another.
'the rapidity with which they move prevents the
English cavalry indicting the lose which might be
anticipated. Experience seems to prove that to crush
these mutineers effectually is hopeless, union they are
destroyed before they can get out into the open field.
Besides the unfortunate affair aear Allah, under
Captain Laciass 0, in which three officers sad a con-
siderable number of men lost their lives, the only I
serious loss occurred to the column under General
WALPOLE. That officer, with some 8,000 men, was
directed to advance from Lueknow to Problem?, by
the left bank of the Ganges, whilst the COMMANDER-
IN-Cult, went by the right bank from Cawnpors.
On the 15th of April WALPOLE was repulsed in as
attack on the fort of Rowse, when he lost four
officers, including Brigadier ADRIAN HOPP, and 110
men. The fort, however, was evacuated during the
night, and the column moved on. On the 22nd,
a successful action was fought at some place
opposite Kanouje, which is an the right bank of
the Ganges, half way between Cawnpore and
Fereckabad. On the 27th the column joined
the COMMANDEE-IN-CRIEI at Futteghtm Two days
after he had entered Shahjeanpoor, on the road to
Bareilly. The next mail will probably bring ao-
counts of the taking of that place, and we trust the
destruction of the rebels collected there.
In the meantime, it is clear that, even should the
attack on Bareilly be completely successful, the
army will have plenty of work. For the telegram
gives indicatioes too distinct to be mistaken that
even in those districts which are not the theatre of
immediate operations:rebels are still swarming ; and,
in short, that the rebel army is rather dispersed than
destroyed.
