Cholin, May ls.
" Si '—l have the honour to report that from an early
hour yesterday morning a large body of well-equipped rebel
troops,were seen assembling on a high build; about three-
quartols of a mile on our right flank. It was quite evident
that the city had been reinforced during the previous night,
and ptieoners, since taken, state that they were from Yong-
mai, ,Later in the day troops were seen leaving the city by
the-Edst Gate and gathering on our left flank. I felt then
quite convinced that some hostile measure was intended and
awaited the result with anxiety, but with the most perfect
confidence.

" About 2 p.m. the people on our right flank advanced in
large numbers, while others sallied out from the city, amid
a frightful noise of gongs and trumpets.
"I directed our advanced picket to fall back, until met
by Captain Holland and his party of Marines, with a few
small-arm men under Lieut. Grant, of the Vulcan.
"A stand was here made, until a number of the rebels
~
had passed the bridge and creek, and were well down to
our quarters
"The M. ines and seamen'then advanced in a most gal-
lant manne , and drove the assailants back at the point of
the bayonet.: Captain Holland .with the main body-of his
men Passed the bridge and continued his advances for a
ctiPsiderable distance. Lieut.' Grant,"vtith his men, and
lilt Lient: H. E. Shirt, Rbyalzirit4nd Light Infantry,
With a few Marines, forded the' orekksthich was between
our quarters and the city, found the rebels in some out-
houses, bayonett:d them, and drove them up to the walls of
the city. Duriug this time Captain Strode kept up a well-
' directed fire from the three field pieces in their position near
the boats,
" About 5 p.m. the rebels, who had been collecting on our
left flank, assisted:by a few of the more spirited on the right;
advanced with frightful yells. The 12-pounder howitzers
played upon them with shrapnell shell, and with good
effect; while the Marines again advanced and drove them
back.

" The loss of the assailants on each occasion was consider-
able, at least 40 killed, most of whom were fine well dressed
men, and armed with the old musket marked Tower.'
46 I beg particularly to call your attention to the good
conduct of the Marines, headed by their captain, John Y.
Holland, whose coolness and steadiness under fire render
him an invaluable support ; and this opinion iS confirmed
by the experience of nine occasions. And, in conclusion, I
have to speak well of the steadiness of the whole force under
me (under 200), and I feel convinced that had the attack
been of a very much more serious nature, seconded by Com-
mander Strode, I should have seen a similar result.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BRIGHTON RACES, TUESDAY.

Treading closely on. the heels of Goodwood, where horses
generally have had engagements to run off which render
them unfit to appear in public for some days at least,
Brighton may consider herself fortunate in the fields pro-
duced at the post yesterday. The Brighton Stakes num-
bered nearly twice as many runners as last 3 ear, and the
Nursery brought out again some youngsters which had
figured on Friday at the great gathering ending on that
day. The weather was delightful, the company fully up
to the average of preceding years, and the rain of Saturday
had rendered the turf elastic without being hard. Backers
of horses won their money on the first three races in which
the favourites came off Victorious ; and the last race also
disappointed the hopes of the fielders, who took odds freely,
but had no chance, against Lord Stamford's Bertha, pa-
tiently ridden by Edwards with a penalty of 61b. The filly
won in the last few strides with scarcely an effort, and
closed the day's proceedings soon after five o'clock. •
The Bristol Plate of 50 soya (handicap), for all ages. One

Harvest Moon and Aslanga also ran.
Betting-6 to 4on Allow Me, 4to 1 each agst Loretta
and Harvest Moon.
Won by half a length; two lengths between second and
third. The winner was bought in for 47 guineas.

20 added, for all ages. Y.T.C.
