EXTRAOttnrarany Oncu3tsTAriCE.—Cof late we hive
heard it
of a most extraordinary child which is living at
NewtOn.StewartL.-rumoure so incredible, that we neither ask
nor meet our readers to, believe them. Nevertheless, the
truth of the story was an strongly asserted, and that by at.
fereht individuals, 'that we Were induced to solicit inforniation
of thesubject and the following is the substimee. of a letter
which we received last night from a moat respectable quarter
" You may safely insert a paragraph regarding the child you
write about. The. story is 'simply this.--in the year 1817 .
woman in the parish of became pregnant, and some-
time before her infant was born gave as the Adler a married
man o 1 the name of John Wood. The man strongly protested
hie inthieence, and, repeatedly said that he wOuld'hot;eonfess
unless hie name was stamped. on its forehead, ina short time
the :woman was delivered of a boy, and in about ten days
thheiifter,-the letters " John Wood," on the right,' and
born " 1817," on the left,eve, became .plain: and. legible...._
These: w9rtia and figures are on the part of the eye which
surrounds the pupil-,--betwixt the ball and the width
of the eye, 'so that they cannot for. a moment be supposed to
have been traced by-any human hand. The forin of the lit.,
tern is truly beautiful. The mother afterwards .morried, an
Irishman, wlio with his step-son, hes been living in Newton.
'Stewart far some time past. Most of the gentlemen in the
town aqd ,neiffhbourhood. have inspected the boy's eyes, who
all aceva,ta ffuok therg is no imposition in the 'natter. ..The
child is afflicted with water 'in the head; and although betwixt
five and sins years old, it can neither stand nor walk. ' This ie
a omit singular circumstance, so much so that it is hardly ere-
dible. .Neyertheless, you may rest assured of the accuracy of
my inferMatitin. Dr. b'inith examined it yesterday, arid I have
myself repeatedly seen it, and examined its father.", (At the
end of the letter a drawing of the eyes.)-41ere then is a
marvellous- story with a vengeance; and whether the disease
with which the child is afflicted may have biased the iinagina-
lions of its visitors in the same way as we sometimes art castles
in the air, we leave others to determine. Just as we had re-
ceived the above letter, a Mr: Glover, from Newhin-Stewart,
called on us, who, after repeating the same story; said, if we
bad any doubt of the statement, we might put his name to it.

The (allowing brief communication, contained
in A letter Written by his friend in India to a,Gentleman,in this
city, dated Lambah, 23d March 1823, evinces that yrompti-
nide in military achlevutent which has ever distingurbed the
11404 army in its various modes of warfare. The paragraph
runs thus:.-.-" In the beginning of this month (March) Cot.
Knox was ordered up with a battalion of infantry,, a regiment
of cavalry, two companies of pioneers, two companies' of las-
cars, two 24-pounders, two mortars, a company of European
artillery, and the light field battery, to take Larobah: Two'
Hank companies of the 2d native infantry were some days after-
wards ordered to join, together with the light company of the
29th jtegiment ; and on the 14th another company of the 2d,
as also of the 29th, were ordered upon this service, with four
mortars. • They commenced erecting batteries immediately,
Col. Knox giving the enemy till next day (the 17th) at sunrise
to determine whether they would surrender, and thus prevent
the consequences of an attack. No satisfactory answer being
batteries to be opened, and such With the vigour of the attack,
Period, Col. Knox gave orders for the
returned at the limited Period,
that at 12 o'clock the fort and . town were surrendered into our
viands. , Fewlives were lost in , this brisk fakir, there being
only six,,killed,and as many wounded on the part of the enemy ;
'while, on the part of the Brttildt, a few only were wounded, and
