THE LATE LIEUTENANT HOME.

The following letter was vrrltten by the ht,
Lieut. Duncan Home (Bengal Engineers) to
mother on the very day of hie lamented death.
. .

Camp, bialagimr, war Bolandau:Mar, Oct I.

My dearest Mother,—ln the hurry and work of the
of Delhi, the last mail day pared by without my knowing;
or being able to write, and I am now on duty with the move-
able column, whom destination Is not known, and which his,
ea yet, only reached this far, afteran engagement with Wall.
did Khan's men at Bolundahuhur, on Monday last. lb
I bolted, and has left the fort in our hands, which 1 am at pm
seat rendering untenable. You will doubtless we this halo
hand of the fall of Delhi, and that the King le in OW hank
Mogul Beg sad two other primes have been killed. Th
former was the man who killed uncle Simon.* I must sow
tell you something about the siege, and of my goings ea
it. For ten days I was perpetually on duty, day and co,
first on the right sad then on the left. I had charge of tin
construction of our first breaching battery, *hick we,
constructed In one night, a thing which has oat,
been done in one other siege. The mgineers were
highly complimented on it. I then had char
of the construction of the battery nearest the city--u
only 140 yards from it, which was !Winked ratisfactorily,m
brawled the water-bastion ef the city. I remained in chap
of the battery till the assault, in which my duties were
follows .—I was directed to take charge of a party of It
Sappers, with 3 non commissioned °dicers and another i. 14

of Bngioan, named Selkeld, and to proceed and blow in
Cashmere Gate of the city. Owing to delay", the s

did not take place till eunrise, and I had to arum from
Ludlow Castle (uncle Sitoon's house) in breed daylight to
the gate, place powder-bags against it, and explode then,
and then give the signal for the advance. We all strived st
the gate quite safely, although we were under a very heavy
fire of musketry from the walls and through the wicket of the
gate, which was open. However, as we were laying the Inge
at the gate, we began to lose men. There were two European
. . . _

non-corumearionsiodicers and one native killed. Ukelele's&
badly wounded in the arm and leg. He has lost his arm, and
his leg, being wounded, is in oplints. I hope he may reconr,
but it seems very doubtful. I had alao two natives wounded.
I myself esesped with a blow on the log above the knee from
a stone, knocked up by a bullet. Out of 12 persona who
were at the gate 6 were killed or wounded. For blowing in
the Cashmere Gate in breed daylight General ‘Vileon hu
put in order; that Weald, a sergeant, a bugler, and wyedf
are to get the Victoria Cross ; so we ere, of ociume, propor.
nimbly proud, we being the first persons in the Indian
army to receive this decoration.
After we got into the city, owing to the heavy loss in en-
gineers, 9 oat of 17 who went into action being killed or
wounded, I was the third senior officer fit for duty, so got
charge of the left column of attack, and was continually es
duty until the king evacuated the palace. I had never inn
than four hours aleep in the 24, and then only by matches.
I had mho the pleasure of blowing in the gate of the palace,
though no one luckily fired at me, there being ro foe tom
lett to guard the palace, and they were asleep. The gate ens
blown in at noon. Bo now the Delhi business rosy be on-
aidered over. and I hope the country will 80011 begin to pt
settled.

We Lad a tolerably sharp action with the rebels at
lundahuhur, which they occupied with about 2,000 men and
some fourteen gang; however, after three hours tilltdine,
•

they bolted. They had, however, managed to attack oar
baggage, and to cut up two sick Europeans who were Icing
carried in dhoolies. We found a lot of European property in
tha fort which had been looted from Bolundshubur.
OA Khan was some rel►tion of the King of Delhi, end had
continually intercepted our communications during the row.

Ho he now, I believe, gone to Rohllcund, which bus become
the refuge for the destitute. Ido not know where we go to
from this plan. I believe that the force is to go to Agra
but I should not be astonished at its being ordered on to
Catrapore, to join the force under Havelock. It is quite
cool in camp, though the sun is still powerful. I bare not
received any letters from you by this mail, but hops to get
some soon. With best love to you all, believe toe, your
affectionate son, Dl:recce C. Honk

• The " Uncle Simon" mentioned in this letter is the lets
Mr. Simon Fraser, Commiseioner of Dolhi, who araa am of
the first victims of the mutiny.

Professor Syme writes to the Times ;—"I
regret that an operation which I happened to perform in tha
Royal Infirmary of this city has got into the newepapen,
but as it has, unfortunately, done so, the Public thoald be
correctly informed on the subject. Partial removal of the
tongue for the remedy of cancer having been found worts
than lade., it was thought that extirpation of the whole
organ might afford effectual relief; upon this principle I
proceeded. The patient suffered no bed consequence directly
from the operation, but at the end of a week, when the
extant wound was quite healed, died suddenly from ss
internal dinette, which might have been excited by ay
other irritation In a person of his constitution and habits."
FINANCIAL AID TO SWEDEN AND NORWAY.—It
her transpired that the governments of Sweden and Norway
are mama to promote certain measures which have lett
suggested for obtaining financial aid in England to prevent
the permanent break up of some of the extensive estaLliele
matte which have lately failed in those countries. A dept-
tetion is now in London, and, according to report, the
corn contemplated to be raised is 600,0001. The ap-
plication, it is understood, will ,e made to the Bask
of England, and the principal of the proposed
arrangement seems to be that such concerns

executive authorities, however, would, it ia interred, arson
the nexesary respoesibility. The plan will be carried al
as rapidly es pointhie, the great object being to leases the
numbers that are threatened with loss of employment from
the stoppage of the chief mills, furnaces, and other works.—
Tens.
The following anecdote gives some idea of the
mine ion which not long eina preveiltd, and probably mill
preemie, in the official world of Wexner :—Abeet main
years sr, M. Rer.ogold, a Jewish trideeman, made boon
to the higher authorities that the stale wag eystenatically
robbed by certain employes. In order that the molter might
not become public Rosengold was wised and thrown into
prime, where he remained until the smarty me. mauled °
the coronation of the present Emperor. On his liberstioe
the unfortunate man lust no tines in lay Ae his ..`0 1.333
the new Rut herniae, and they sour sett demean. tat
he had been infemouely treated. By a epetial chow de
Emperor Alexander hag made public the nen . anemia
end peen orders that certain eve distinctiona pall be me
feared upon him.
THE BEOT WAY OF LIGHTING FlRES.—NewspiC
cornacendents have long invited attention to the feet t
smoke
pentacle of Dr. Arnotes new gretes—the consume...l.N
molts by cutting off the draught of air below and lea-
ling the fire on the top—might be adopted in ordinary
grates, without exchanging them for those of the sew tee
structioa. The plan consists in laying at the bottom (en
bars) a thin moveable Iron plate fitted go ae to cut a the
draught from below ; then by laying upon it fresh coal up 1.?
the top bar; and upon this foundation laying the limPw."'
sticks, and covering the latter with the rubble left over night.
One correspondent writes .—" Having previonely par eamd
one of the Arnett grates fora bedroom (which aim (I,°
admirably), I acted on the hint, end have now ten tree
lighted on the eame principle. The result la all that 'AEI
be desired—little or no smoke, a bright clear Ike, and 3
diminished consumption of fuel. It will list all
bedroom without eeqairin any attestice."

placed at the bee behre tit Conk, charged with feloniously
cutting and weandlag John Hall, an errand bey, living with

From the evidence it appeared that when the offeno6 was
committed the mother of the prisoner was charged with being
drank and creating a &Arnhem* in the Pentonville-road.
A mob had collected round the woman, end when the pro-
secutor, who was only about ales yams of age, went near
her, he said to his companion, " Oh, it le only a drunken
woman, let's go on." The words were no sooner oat of his
month than the prisoner in the most determined manner,
rushed at him with an open knife, and stabbed the prosecutor
!in the shoulder. The injured boy ran away, when he was
ppuursued by the prisoner and again stabbed in the ribs, and
week from loss of blood that he fainted away.
Police-constable Hollowey, 197 13, then came up, and took
the boy into custody, and having conveyed the prosecutor
to a surpon's, was inbrinad that if the ebb in the ribs had
