morrow. Should they hays much intercourse with the 65th
who ere there, heaven kuows what fresh complications may
arise. Should these two regiments hatch a mutiny between
them, end manage to effect • junction with the Dioapore lot,
they will muster more than 3,000 disciplined troops, exclu-
sive of K caw& Selo. f hewers; he is said to have collected
about 6,000 in Arrsh, but them can only be rabble, I fancy.
It le to be hoped that they will not be able to cut off our

DiNaruite, 6 r.m., 30me.—We have just arrived, and
have learnt very sod news. It seems a force left this by
steamer the day before yesterday, reinitiating of about
330 men of the 10th and 37th, and 50 Saito,
bound for Myatt They were landed abreast of the
plus marched up to it, and attacked the enemy. The
result is most mournful to record ; they were of course ho-
inenmely outnumbered, end after hard fighting, bad to re-
treat, having suffered a fearful lose of about 200 killed end
wounded, among whom were eight officers. Tho remnant
made good their retreat to the steamer, and returned here
about 12 o'clock to-day, bringing with them a great number
of the wounded. _

The General rnt 100 men and two gun. away from here
to-day, so that only about 230 men and four guns now re-
main fur the protection of this place. Everybody I. cursing
his inrepacity, whole mismanagement has brought about
these digesters,
The Bombay left en hour ago on her way down to meet
the Charles Allen, and hasten the arrival of the reinforce-
ment she carrier. I will now eltee this, and hopo it may
reach Calcutta safely. It is not at all improbable, now, that
an attack will be made by the Maurgents upon this place,
indeed it is reported that they are on their way down.

march to and retreat from that place
One hundred and ninety men of the 37th Queen's were
dispatched from Dinapore at 6 o'clock on the evening of
the 27th instant, in the Horangotta steamer and troop
boat, destined for the relief of Arrah. It being moonlight,
they steamed on until 10 o'clock, when the moon went
down, and shortly afterwards the vessel got aground. In this
position they remained for about 36 hours, when the Bombay
was rent up from Dinepore, on the morning of the 20th, with
160 men of the 10th, and about 70 Sikhs; the latter under
the command of Cuptainlngleby. The Bombay towed off the
troop boat, but could not stir the Horungotta ; leaving her
there ehe steamed up &be river with the whole form, now num-
bering more than 40en, and landed them about • o'clock
in the evening about 12 miles from Arrah. From this point
they began their march upon Areab. On the way thewer
informed that the piece had been evacuated by the mutineer.,
and relying oat title, Captain Dater, of the 10th, who com-
mended, persisted in pushing on. It was eleven p.m., end
quite dark when they reached. They were at one.
Ned into from both aides of the road, volley after
volley was poured into them by the unseen enemy, and
decimated their ranks. What with the darkness, and the
confusion arising from an unespected attack, they now got
separated, and were afraid to fire, not knowing whether they
would be killing friends or foes. Than they remained all
night, being repeatedly fired into by the enemy, who were no
doubt acquainted with their whereabouts. As morning
dawned they found themselves terribly reduced in num-
bers, and knowing they were much too weak to
arum. the °Knave, began • retreat. Although this
movement we. conducted with all the skill that eirenmdanoes
permitted, and under cover of skirmisher., they lost • great
many men. beior purred integrally by the enemy, who
fired into them from behind trees and other hiding places. It
being imp ruble to carry away all those who were too severely
wounded to walk, they were obliged to leave them to their
fate. It is this circumateace which has made the total loss

eo heavy, amounting, 1111 it dose, to fully one half of our farm.
" The remnant made good their retreat to the steamer
(including all those whom wounds permitted them to be
helped along), and returned to Dinapore at 12 o'clock yes-
ter&y. Thum ended this melancholy business. The march
upon Arrah at night wee injadicious, ea our soldiers never
even had a ch►nce of seeing the enemy until the
following morning. The locality also was unknown to
them. They had no means of carrying off their wounded,
and I mu told the men of the 10th had had nothing whatever
to eat the whole d►y of the 29th.
" I have heard only a few names of the officers who were
killed, viz.. Capt. Ingleby, Ensign Anderson, Capt. Dunbar,
and the three officers of the 37th, whose names 1 don't
know."

We (Cerwita Broglirliman) bear that Sir J. Outran takes
command of the Dinapore division immediately. We learn
that Lieutenant Chamier, Adjutant of the Volunteer Guards,
has been appointed to the staff of Sir Jame* Outran, and
that be is to be succeeded by Lieutenant Dennehy, 2nd

Dennehy is an active and 'Reform °Meer. As Major Strachey.

found itself in the mammas of 3,000 or 4,000 Payers. Alter
a good deal of firing, our men were compelled to beat a retreat
into Aximghur. Here they halted, made a firm stand near the
gaol, and ultimately drove the enemy out again. Next
morning it was discovered that the rebels were several miles
sway. The fight lasted about three hours, ►nd our troops
were compoaM of about 150 men of the 65th B. N. 1., 126
sowers, and one gun. Lieutenant Lewis was wounded.
