THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1857

sooner had the ladies and children reached the entrenchment
and the escort joined the main body in the garrison, than
the enemy flocked in rear of our advancing columns under
Generals Outran' and Havelock, and destroyed the bridge.
They then took up a position along the canal to intercept,
obstruct, and prevent any communication, provisions, and
reinforcements passing to our army, now well up to
the walls of the town. This measure leaves our main
,body, and the party in the entrenchment at Allumbagh, in
a strange predicament; and should any from the latter
sally out towards the broken bridge, he meets with a
warmreception from Jack Sepoy in the shape of a dozen or
so of bullets, aid is therefore fain to stay within doors.
Ever since our fellows crossed the bridge and advanced
towards the Residency, there has been scarce an hour's
cessation of firing from guns of large and small calibre,
and those infernal jinkale from the city. Upwards of two
miles of the city is levelled, and every hour lessened it
still more, but the firing does not slacken in the least. The
enemy, it is said, are being reinforced by the routed army
of Delhi. However, with the exception of the stoppage
of communication, nothing is feared, and all is going on
swimmingly, and our troops are said to be holding out
in their usual gallant style, and ready to surmount or
go through any thin& their Genaral may order them
to. Since sending you the last list of killed and wounded,
I lament to say that I have been warned of a frightful
increase of casualties in action, and many have died subse-
quently from wounds. Of the four officers that accom-
panied the detachment of her Majesty's 64th to Luc keow,
only one remains, and his name is Hudson. He is the
adjutant of the corp', and having volunteered to join the
expedition, was placed on the general stall'. Captain
Shute, and Lieutenants Turner and Bateman, were all three
killed. Captain Shute was a brave:and well-hied cacer,
and commanded the light company of the gallant 6411).
The other officers of her Majesty's 78th are a's ) reported
killed, viz., Colonel Hamilton and Lieut. Swanson. The
inhabitants aro said to be deserting the city of Lecknew
in hundreds daily. Our general is crying out loudly for
large reinforcements. I believe ho expects part, of the
force from Delhi shortly. It will be impossible to send him
a largo force from Cawopore under a fortnight at the very
least. Detachments of eighty aed one hundred strong
come en almost daily, and two companies of the 5.h
Fusiliers, and one of H.M.'s 64th, with details of other
regiments are expected in a few days. A detachment of
11.M.'s 64th, 300 strong, under command of 21,j0r "Fug-
ham, left with a large store of provisions and ammunition,
but these could be taken no further than the entrenchment
at Allumbagh, and there both men and stores still remain.
Last night a party from various corps, numbering in all
150, arrived horn Allumbagh, in charge of an immense
number of captured elephants and camels, and one or two
of these men tell me that, for want of other material to
erect breast works, the bedding belonging to the men was
appropriated for this purpose. The medical geutlemen and
their subordinates are hard-worked, and have scarce a mo-
ment to think to call their own. Amputations are,,l gr ieve
to say, become very common, no less than twenty-five or
thirty having had to undergo the mutilatien of either arm
or leg, and an Escnlapius out here now thinks no more of
whipping off a fellow creature's limb, than he would of
opening any ordinary abcess. I have heard nothing of
Nana Sahib. I trust he has not given us the slip. I
should like much to have a close view of his ex-Majesty.
He is an ugly looking wretch, I am told. He cannot be
uglier than his deeds. The greater portion of the force
that captured Delhi are now in pursuit of the flying
thoesands of rebels. The lower provinces are quiet. The
naval and marine brigade has arrived at Allanabad, and is
now doing duty in the fort.

BEHAR.

The following is from Camp Chuttrah, dated 4th inst :
Oa the tad October, 1857, the small force under the
command of Mawr English, consisting of 150 men of her
Majesty's 53rd Regiment, and about an equal number of
the Police Battalion, advanced from the village of Dourol
" Erchack" upon " Chuttra," where the Ramghur Batta-
lion, upwards of 750 strong, with four brass guns, were
encamped, commanded by a Baboo, who directed the whole
of their operations.
We came in sight of the enemy about 8 a.m., when a
party under command of Captain Fendall, were sent out
in skirmishing order, followed by the main body at about
259 yards distance. The skirmishers immediately opened
fire upon the enemy, who was in position, in line, protected
by his artillery, which instantly opened a heavy • fire of
round shot., grape, and cannister. Nothing daunted, the
skirmisher moved steadily on, while the main body under
Mapr English, by a flank movement to the left, came upon
the enemy's right, when the action became general. Tne
enemy fought his guns to the last minute, and kept up a
heavy and continuous fire of musketry for about an hour
sod a half, when he fled from all points with the loss of his
guns, ammunition, and colours, and the whole of his
baggage and camp equipage, &c. If we had with us a
few cavalry, scarcely a man would have escaped being killed
or taken prisoner.
A great number of their dead covered the field, but
their wounded crawled into the :jungle, from whence
a good number were brought into the camp during the
day.
Our loss in this sharp action is rather severe, being
three three killed and forty-three wounded, three of whom
bare since died of their wounds,
Nothing could exceed the coolness and bravery dis-
played by our officers, who were always in front, exposing
themselves to the hottest ire, and encouraging their men,
by their noble and heroic example, and we feel justly proud
of them.-0., hceitix, October 10.
BENARES, OCT. 16, 1857.—News has just come in of
the mutiny of the 32ad Bengal Native Infantry in the
Santhal district. They have, we hear, murdered some of
their •fficers, and are marching towards Bhaugulpore.
We hear that the 31st at Bangor have also gone. No
news in lately from up the country. Troops in small
detachments pass up daily. Yesterday two companies of
H.M.'s 53rd, and five companies of the 27th Madras
Native Infantry, passed up, with four hundred remounts,
