The Bombay Times of Jan. 2 gives the following
operative of the capture of Buihire and other ope-
rations cm the part of oar fleet in the Persian Gulf:
The island of Barrack, held by us from 1839 to 1841, had
on the 4th been taken poression of and converted into •
military depot. On the 6th the fleet moved down from
opposite Borne to llallila Bay, where a body of three or
four hundred of the many making their appearance, they
were diverged by shells from the gun-boats. The troops
were now permitted to disembark without any mo-
lestation. There being no carnage cattle, they were without
tents or rare of say description, three days' ration.
having been canted with them in Laverne:M. Forty-eight
hours were required to get the whole body on shore sad in
motion, when on the morning of tho 9th they corm mood
their march northwards by the line of the coast, the
ships of war led by the Admiral, keeping abreast
of them, and am near the land se the depth
of water permitted. By noon the old Portuguese
fort of Burin, began to be approached. The position was
naturally a strong one, the walla were good, and protected
by • dry ditch forty feet dep. In front was a heavy
redoubt scarped on the aide next the sea, and the
other two were strong and well protected. The Amer
was unable to approach within one thousand seven hun-
dred yards of the place, but at this distance her shells were
so effective that the' bulk of the enemy Red, tarring eight
hundred, who had been driven back by our advancing
column., within the work, and who seemed determined to
fight it out to the last. The garrison on our approach
had at fret sallied out, and at one time needy attained

too much a-bed, were compelled to make a rapid
countermarch. Our troops seemed auras to make
• desk, and unfortunately charged at the bayonet's
point, escrilking valuslite lives that might have been
spared bad the shelling been matinued. Brigadier Stopford
fell leading at the 64th, shot through the heart, and pierced
by many wounds ; while Lieuterata Utterson and Warren
of the 20th were killed by his aide; Captain m.. 4 danger-
