ing Portsmouth they met with heavy winds from
the S.W., with high seas for the first week, but
from that time had fine weather and light winds.
An extract from one of these letters says—" Every
one on board is in excellent health and spirits, and
I think I may say there is not a discontented man
in the ship out of 900. Wednesday (the 2d inst.)
we astonished the natives by having a cricket match,
which went off very successfully—tents pitched and
band playing. The Australasian, with head-
quarters of the 68th, and the Medway, which takes
home this mail, arrived here yesterday afternoon,
and we are consequently quite a party in this deso-
late island. Coaling is very slow here, labour being
extremely scarce, and Captain Benson thinks the
6th about the time we shall get away."
Intelligence was yesterday received at the head-
quarters of the Royal Engineers, Brompton Bar-
racks, from India, of the following casualties which
had occurred in the 23d company of the Royal Sap-

many. Severely wounded—Sergeant Edward Hol-
