CAWNPORE RELICS.
(From tbs PAcrnix of August 8.)

The writer of the painfully interesting Cawnpore
letter which we published yesterday ataterl that lie had
picked up scrape of paper among the clothes of the =fortu-
nate women who um t their death in Nene Sahib's slaughter-
house. The mournful memorial. raferred to are spotted with
blood, and contain the following inscribed upon than in
pencil in female handwriting. Loth the amp seem to be
leaves from the private journals of two different persons, es
the writing it not the INI4IO. One of these pieces of paper
runs so follows :
" Mamma died, July 12 (Mrs. G. Lindsay).
Alice died, July 9 (her daughter?.
George died, Juae 27 (her eon. hneign 10th
Entered the barracks, May 21.
Cavalry left June 5.
First shot tired, June 6.
Uncle Willy dint, Juno 18 (Major W. Lindsey).
Aunt Lilly, Jose 17 (Mrs. W. Lindsay).
Left amain,. June 27.
" Made prisoners se soon as we were at the river."
The ether is in the following wade:
" We sent into the barrack. on the 21st of May, the 2nd
Cavalry broke out at two o'clock on the morning of the sth of
Jane, and the other regiments went off during the day. The
next morning, while we were all sitting out in front of the
berm ke, a twenty-four pounder came flying along, end hit
the intrenehment, and from that day the firing went on
till the 25th June; then the enemy rant a treaty, which
the general agreed to, and on the 27th we all left the B. to
go down to A. in liars. When we got to the river the
enemy began firing on us, killed all the gentlemen and scene
of the ladies, set tire to the boats; some sore drowned, and
we were taken prisoners, taken to a house, put all in one
room."
The above sad relics speak for themselves. nerd must be
the heat of the reader that can peruse them without the
strongest emotion.
There is no dyubt, write. an inhabitant of Dundee, that
the first of the two journals was written by Mies Caroline
Lindsay, eldest daughter of Mrs. George Lindsey. in all pro-
lability 00 the day of the final mewsere. No otention bring
made of the death of her youngest sister Fanny, it is to be
feared that she was also Mill alive, end that they perished
together on the 16th of July.

ferent nercantile firms hem, as well as to the heirs of de-
ceased office», &e., but when I mention that every hones
was guttid, and the property scattered over 00 or 70 square
mike of country, it wiU be apparent how hopossralis it was
to take care of individual interests.
" I would recommend any one connected with Crampon
to appoint en agent upon the spot who con recognise the
property, and he should be armed with authority to receive
charge of it.
"Almost all of the former European residents here having
been murdered by the miscreant Nene Sahib, and no one
being forthcoming to recognise or give any information con-
cerning the property that has been saved, it would aid us
very much were wane European to return who may be ac-
quainted with ths former reaffirm», or he able to point out
property of different owners.
"Ism damned to add that as far as can be ascertained the
only Europeans who escaped are two officers and two sol-
diers, who Bed scrams the river, and one pensioner of the 3rd
Light Dragoon", who was concealed by a trooper of the 4th
Light Cavalry in the city of Caernpore.
