THE WOUNDED OFFICERS.

Mr. Bankes, the young Cornet of the 7th Hug'
sars, exhibits a mazked improvement, and verY
strong hopes are expressed by his medical atterr
dants that his remaining leg and arm will 130
saved—a result mainly to be attributed to the
courage and spirit and cheerfulness with which he
bears up against his injuries. • I am glad to be
able to say that Sir William Peel is daily getting
better, and expects to be able to hobble about ill
a week or so. His companion in the same rooret
Major Gloster, 38th Regiment, shot through the
stomach, is also recovering. Slade and Wilkie
of the 'Tth,Chalmers of the Commissariat,and WO4
of our wounded officers, are in a very favourable
state, and the health of the army generally coil'
tinues to be very good.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Pathley, Q. C., Assistant-Judge.)
Eduard Jessop, fruiterer and confectioner, of
New-street, Covent-garden, surrendered to take
his trial on an indictment charging him with having
felouiously received a quantity of paper bags, the
property of George Burrell, well knowing the same
to have be,-,'n stolen.

Mr. Orridge prosecuted ; Mr. Franc's appeared
for the prisoner.
At the last sesion at Westminster, three boys
named Pearce, Mapleton, and Simon, were tried,
found guilty, and sentenced each to a week's soli-
tary confinement for stealing come bags, the pro-
perty of Mr. Burrell, paper•bag maker, of
Houghton-street, Clare-market, their master, and
from circumstances which then transpired as to the
tmhaen nperrisionn
werh,icnhotwhe
nbnagiesr haehdlbrgeee,n dthisepopsreecisioafintog
Judge, Mr. Crea,y, directed that he should be
prosecuted for receiving, and the learned counsel
conducting the case on the present occasion was
instructed by Mr. Allen, the county solicitor. The
facts were these :—The boy Simon used to hide
bags in a dust hole, Maplet Al and Pearce carried
them away after the clay's work was over and
Mapleton sold them to the prisoner. When the
police went to his place, and questioned him about
purchasing the bags, he at once acknowledged that
he had, and said he had four and a-half woss on
the previous evening for a shilling. He produced
about 25 gross in all. It was urged for the prose-
cution that the prisoner had bought the bags at
less than a tenth of the trade price at night, and
from a boy whAn he did not know, and that he
must have known that they had been dishonestly
come by.

Mr. Francis made an able address to the jury
for the prisoner, and called witnesses, who gave
him an excellent ehlra,.:ter for honesty, and deposed
to his having purch tsecl the bags frotn the boy
under the most urgent representations by him that
he had been s:)nt by his father, who mtde them,
and was in great dtsrress, and also that the price
given was not so much under the value as stated.
After the summing up the jury retired, and after
considering the case nearly tour hours and a half,
found the prisoner guilty, with a recommendation
to mercy.
The Court sentenced him t) 12 months' hard
lab cur.

THE SEPOYS.

The Sepoy is an incomprehensible being. Serb
we have been many days in the city, and at nigh
the roads have been open to any person, and yet
Sepoy, who might have got away whenever he listed,
is discovered in a house by the police to-day. On
shoots one dead, wounds another, and, shut up 111
a dark room, doggedly awaits his assailants. CaPt'
Burroughs, 42d Regiment, an active and zealot°
officer, now comes to dislodge him by throwivg
powder bags into the room. At the first explosion
a sharp report is heard, and on entering the rev°
h the sepoy is found dead, having blown out his own
brains. The force of the powder blew down a pot
of the wall, and Capt. Burrough's leg is broken by
the weight of bricks which fell upon him. 11°_,If
long these incidents are to continue one is at a I°'
to conjecture, Lut as soon as the respectable In..
habitants return in auy numbers these felloo
must be detected and handed over to the pollee'
Some are returning in sullen submission.

corner.

English ladies, and do you wish to leave this "place'!"

those whom he addressed were not able to reply to
the officer from excessive joy, and for a moment or
two they were overwhelmed with thankfulness and
emotion. But there was no time to be lost. The
Moulvie and his followers were known to be search-
ing for them. The ladies, clad as they were,
descended to the street, and were about to be placed
,n the officers' horses, when a palanquin caught the
eye of C tptain M'Neil in the court of the 11,use.
Just as the ladies were getting into it a few bud-
mashes, with drawn swords, sallied out from an
idjoining house to attack them, but a shot from a
revolver and the bayonets of the Ghoorkas soon
disposed of their reslstance, and six of the Daroga's
retainers being impressed as palanquin bearers the
party and a portion of the escort moved back as
rapidly as possible to the Ghoorka post, and the
poor ladies were placed in safety.

ADE L.PIII THEATRE.

Miss Roden, who made her debut at Easter, and
who has been performing with distinguished success
at this pleasant theatre ever since, took her benefit
last night, when the crowded state of the house
afforded gratifying evidence of the progress which
a plea,:ing actress and excellent singer has made
within a brief period in the favour of the public.
Miss Roien's conception of the character she as-
sumes is invariably gn:ceful and intelligent, while
the perfect ease and unafEcted elegance of her
manner have a gentle charm which never fails to
awaken the interest and sympathy of her audience.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH._

(Sittings in Binco.—Before Lord Campbell, Justices
Wightman, Ede, and Crompton.)

APPLICATION TO STRIKE AN ATTORNEY OFF THE ROLLS.

The Attorney-General showed cause against a rule
obtained against Mr. T. Daniell4, an attorney, carrying
on business at Amersham, Bucks, to show cause why he
should not be struck off the rolls of the Court. The in-
formation, whieb was an affidavit, alleged that Mr.
Danielle had taken money from clients before he was ad-
mitted, for serviJes rendered as an attorney, and also for
misconduct in reference to certain estates he had the
management of. Proceedings had also been taken
against him in the latter case in Chancery. As the
inquiry involved an investigation into accounts of a very
complicated and intricate character, and had reference
to charges under investigation in the Court of Chancery,
the matter was referred to one of the Masters of the
Court, with full power to investigate the charges and
report to the court.

" PROCLAMATION.

" The army of his Excellency the Commander-in-
Chief is in possession of Lucknow, and the city lies et
the mercy of the British Government, whose authority
it has for nine months rebelliously defied and resisted.

" This resistance, begun by a mutinous solliery, has
sound support from the inhabitants of the city and ,;f
the province of Oude at large. Many who owed their
prosperity to the Briti,h Government, as w,ll as those
frho believed themselves aggrieved by it, have jo ned in
tois bad cause, and hrve ranged themselves with the
enemies of the State.

" They have been guilty of a great crime, and have
übjected themselves to a just retribution.
" The capital of their country is now once more in the
han,s of the 13ritish troupe.

"From this day it will be held by a force which
nothing can withstand, and the authority of the Govern-

THE WOMEN OF THE ZENANA.

Intelligence reached the Chief of the Staff that
the women of the Zenana were secreted in one of
the strongest parts of the Kaiserbagh. Some
office►s_immediately proceeded to the spot, into
which some of oar soldiers had already forced an
entrance. It may be imagined what a state
of terror the Begums and their attendants
were in when our men entered. They expected
death every instant, and titeir agonies of fear were
increased by the knowledge of the fact that some
armed Sepoys were shut up in a room close at hand,
and one shot might seal their fate. Huddled toge-
ther amid the smoke, they could scarcely be calmed
by the assurances of the officers, who at once took
measures to remove them to a place of safety. As
they were going out one of the ladies pointed out to
Captain Hope Johnstone a box which he had just
taken from the floor and laid upon the table. She
told him it contained jewels to the value of 10 lacs
of rupees, or 100,000/. He at once placed sentries
at the doors, and gave orders that no one should
enter. Having, with the aid of his brother officers,
taken the ladiei out of danger, he retired to the
Zenana. It was blaz.ng from end to end. The
sentries only escaped by clambering up to the roof,
from which they were with difficulty saved. The
jewels were gone. Had Captain Johnstone taken
them they would have been his, for she Kaiserbagh
on this day was given up to plunder, and what each
man could get became his property.

under the advice of a medical board. Never, per-

chain at the back of his neck as cleanly as if it had
been a pair of nippers, and did him no further in-

Mr. Bankes, the young Cornet of the 7th Erne

strong hopes are expressed by his medical attor

bears up against his injuries. I am glad to be

better, and expects to be able to hobble about ill
a week or so. His companion in the same roonif

DIVIDING THE SPWL.

In the next court, which was sheltered from fire
by the walls around if, our men bad made a great
seizure of rich plunder. They had burst into some
of the state apartments, and they were engaged in
dividing the spoil of shawls and lace" and ernbroi-
&-ry of gold and silver and pearls. In a nook
off this court, where there was a little shade, we
retired to rest ourselves, as there were no means
of approaching the front, part of the buildings
being on fire, and explosions of mines feared
every moment. Two men of the 90th were in
before us, and, assisted later by some of the 38th,
we saw them appropriate money's worth enough, to
make them independent for life. The rooms oil
this nook had been used as stores by the King or
some wealthy member of his household, and each
moment these men went in only to emerge with a
richer trophy. In one box they found diamond
bracelets, emerald., rubies, pearls, and opa's, all so
large and bright and badly set, that we believed at
the time they were glass. In another was a pair,ol
gold-mounted and jewelled duelling pistols, of Eng-
lish make, and the bill, stating that his Majesty the
'King of Oude owed the maker 2801. ; then out they
came with bundles of swords, gold-mounted and
jewelled, which they at once knocked to pieces for
the sake of the mountings, leaving the blades be-
hind them. Next came out a huge chymical labo-
ratory, then a gold saddlecloth, studded with pearl-
—then gold-handled riding canes—then cups of
agate and
jade, gold-mounted and jewelled ; then—
but I must really stop this broker's inventory.
The happy possessors of these riches were quite
mad with excitement. "Is this gold, Sir ?" Is
that a diamond ?" "Is your honour shure that's
raal goold ?" "Is this string of little white stones
(pearls) worth anything, gintlemen?" It was a
great drawback to have a conscience under such
circumstances—a greater not to have a penny is
one's pockets, for in this country no one except an
old stager on the look-out for loot carries a farthing
about him.

THE KING'S ZENANA.

Our men were in high delight with the gay
dresses of the eunuchs which they found in some of
the rooms, and it was with difficulty they were in-
duced to take off the crowns of lace and peacock's
plumes, and bird of paradise feathers, and the
swordbelts they stuck over their heads and shoul-
ders. Here, as in every other building, there
were quantities of kites, the flying of which seems
a favourite amusement of these childish but fero-
cious races. Goats, horses, the stately Cyrus
cranes, tame monkeys, apes, antelopes, numbers of
paroquets in cages were also appropriated by the
men. But it was scarcely a place for zoological
investigation. I was looking at one who had decked
himself out in a fantastic eunuch's attire, when a
shot, evidently from one of the rooms of the court,
passed between us. Very soon afterwards a man
of the 90th was shot through the body, and Lieut.-
Col. Kelly was struck by a spent ball on the head.

MONEY MARKET

AND
COM :wIETZ,CTAL INTELLIGENO2.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed very firmly, and prices
of all descriptions tended upward. The sales
amounted to 15,000 bales, 2,000 of which were
taken on speculation, and 2,000 for export. The
Rtilway Share Market manifested a steady ap-
pearance, and quotations were fully maintained.

The amount of gold taken from the Bank yes'er- g
day was only 11,0001., but the return which will be 8
published in the Gazette to-morrow evening is
expected to show a large falling off in the bullion,
the withdrawals during the last week or ten days 1
having exceeded a quarter of a million sterling. It
has chiefly been appropriated to the purchase of
silver, which is in demand at firm prices, although
the state of the Eastern exchanges remains without
alteration, and there seems nothing to justify the
impression that remittances on a large scale
will be resumed. When the gold, known to be
Coming from Australia arrives, the temporary
deficit caused by the recent efflux will, no
doubt, be made up, unless the adverse
movement should be accelerated, and this seems
scarcely probable, seeing that the continental de-
mand continues quiet. Ihe Bank of France having
a superabundance of precious metals, does n,,t re•
quire supplies from this country, and it is only at
periods when t',e authorities there open contracts
for large quantities of gold, that any serious dis-
turbance in connextion with the specie movement
is experienced.

There is a moderate demand for discount accom-
modation, and the brokers find increased employ-
ment, but the general terms remain without any
material change. _ .

At the Vauxhall-bridge Company's meeting, to-
day, a dividend of 12s. per share was declared.
Renewed buoyancy is perceptible in the market
for English Stocks, and the settlement has pro-
ceeded satisfactorily. Some moderate purchases
have been made for investment as well as on specu-
lation, and although the movement in prices has
been limited, the tendency is very favourable.
Consuls for transfer have been 97i ; mid for June
2, 971 and 97i 98. The New Three per Cents.

tures are 1001 The March Exchequer Bills,

APPLICATION TO STRIKE AN ATTORNEY OFF TELE ROLLS.

The Attorney-General showed cause against a rule
obtained against Mr. T. Danielle, an attorney, carrying
on business at Amerebam, Bucks, to show cause why he
should not be struck off the rolls of the Court. The in-
formation, which was an affidavit, alleged that Mr.
Daniells had taken money from clients before be was ad-
mitted, for services rendered as an attorney, and also for
misconduct in reference to certain estates he had the
management of. Proceedings had also been taken
against him in the latter case in Chancery. As the
inquiry involved an investigation into accounts of a very
complicated and intricate character, and had reference
to charges under investigation in the Court of Chancery,
the matter was referred to one of the Masters of the
Court, with full power to investigate the charges and
report to the court.

THE VICTORIA CROSS.

Few officers under Sir Colin Campbell will have
a chance of getting the Victoria Cross. He is
opposed to the principle of the order. He knows
no claim to consideration but the discharge in
a very exemplary way of duty, and he will
not praise any man for doing what it is his
duty to do. It would appear that the Comman-
der-in-Chief scarcely thinks it is his duty to
recognise the Victoria Cross, nor does he always
yield to the pressure of divisional Generals, who
name all their staff at every discharge of musketry.
There will be no cocked-hat gazettes, none of the
old stereotyped Crimean head-quarter despatches,
in which the Commander-in-Chief " spoke favour-
ably " of everybody, and of all alike, and in which
you night at a glance learn the names of every
officer en genera), divisional, or brigade staff la
due Army List order. We know, however, with"

cut any knowledge of the facts, that the Com-
mander-in-Chief will pass over blunders with 00
gentle a touch that their existence will not be
detected, and that vigilance and energy, and such

like qualities, will be ascribed to officers whose
conduct was not characterised by exactly Bthallar
epithas on the day of action.

TILE SIKHS.

It will not be safe to leave Lucknow with IcB
than 8,000 English infantry. Bareilly, when it
is taken, will require a strong European garrisorlo
and we must keep our cominnnications open till
India is thoroughly pacified by strong posts and
patrols. No one can be blind to the danger of
enormous native levies, whether of Sikhs or of
others. Keen observers detect a gathering cloud
in the North-West, and of all men Sir John Law"
rence is the least likely to ignore the omen. The
Sikhs talk loudly, lam told. They say, " Vire
have done all the hard fighting. We took the
Kaiserbagh, and, look I even the Commander-in-
Chief takes us as sentries over his tent in prefer-
ence to Europeans." I believe the reason why the
Sikhs are placed on duty in the head-quarter caw!'
is that they stand the sun better than Europeans,
and can keep the natives in order more easillo
owing to their knowledge of the language. AO at
Delhi, they say, "We fought against you for'
tnerly ; now we fight fur you. Perhaps some del
we shall fight against you once more." There
must be always be a sufficient force to prevent the
danger of a sudden outbreak on the part of this
fierce and fickle soldiery, and 1,000 men Per
month, which is the amount of reinforcements
promised us, will scarcely keep this army even At
its present inadequate strength.

THE WOMEN OF THE ZENANA.

Intelligence reached the Chief of the Staff that
the women of the Zmana were secreted in one' of
the strongest parts of the Kaiserbagh. Some
office's immediately proceeded to the spot, into
which some of our soldiers bad already forced an
entrance. It may he imagined what a state
of terror the Begums and their attendants
were in when our men entered. They expected
death every instant, and their agonies of fear were
increased by the knowledge of the fact that some
armed Sepoys were abut up in a room close at hand,
and one shot might seal their fate. Huddled toge-
ther amid the smoke, they could scarcely be calmed
by the assurances of the officers, who at once took
measures to remove them to a place of safety. As
they were going out (moot' the ladies pointed out to
Captain Hope Johnstone a box which ho had just
taken from the floor and laid upon the table. She
told him it contained jewels to the value of 10 lace
of rupees, or 100,0001. He at once placed sentries
at the door s, and gave orders that no one should
enter. Having, wi.h the aid of his brother officers,
taken the ladies out of danger, he retired to the
Zenana;- It was blazing from end to end. The
sentries only escaped by clambering up to the roof,
from which they were with difficulty saved. 'fie
jewels were gone. Had Captain Johnstone taken
them they would have been his, for the Kaiserbagh
on this day was given up to plunder, and what each
man could get became his property.
