The Gazette Extraordinary published yesterday
contains a series of despatches received at the India
House on the 15th inst., detailing the operations for
the relief of the garrison of Lucknow by the force
under Gen. Havelock and Sir. J. Outram, with the
reportl of the Commander and officers of the gar-
rison, describing the incidents of the defence of the
place before it was relieved. They are dated from
the 30th Sept. to the end of Dec. last.
On the 30th of Sept. Sir J. Outram reports to
S r C. Campbell, the Commander-in-Chief, that
General Havelock had effecttd his junction with
the garrison of Lucknow on the evening of the
25th. Sir J. Outram took the command on the
following day. The Commandant of the garrison,
Brigadier Inglis, bad been wat ned by Sir James
Outram of the approach of the relief, and ordered
not to weaken his small force by detaching any part
of it to support the advancing troops if they became
engaged in the city, lest the enemy should take the
opportunity to assault his position. Sir J. Out-
ram's despatch of Sept. 30 describes the mining
opt-rations of the mutineers, by which they at-
tacked the exterior and entrenchments of Lucknow
as Laving been carried on in the most scientific
mate er. Six mines had been completed, one of
them from a distance of 200 feet under the principal
defensive works. The mines were quite ready for
loading; had they been fired the garrison would
have, been entirely at the mercy of the assailants.
The delay of the relief for another 24 hours might
have sealed the fate of all the defenders. In the
advance of the relieving force the enemy was beaten
in the open field without difficulty. In the suburbs
of Lucknow the resistance was more obstinate, and
the troops, under 'Gen. Havelock, forced their way
to the garrison at a great sacrifice. The difficulty
of fighting a way through five miles of disputed
suburb, and want of carriage, rendered it impos-
sible to carry off the sick and wounded of the gar-
rison, the women, andchildren, the whole number-
ing in both forces, 1,500 souls. The rescue was
therefore deferred till the arrival of reinforcements.
The operation is deicribed more fully in the fol-
lowing despatch from Gen. Havelock, addressed to
the Adjutant-General of the Commander-in-Chief :
" Residency, Lucknow, Sept. 30, 1857.
" Sir,—Major-General Sir Jas. Outrun, having, with
characteristic generosity of feeling, declared that the
command of the force should remain in my hands, and
that he would accompany it as Civil Commissioner only,
until a junction could be effected with the gallant and
enduring garrison of this place, I have to request that
you will inform his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief
that this purpose was effected on the evening of the
25th inst. But before detailing the circumstances, I
must refer to antecedent events. I crossed the Sye on
the 23d inst., the bridge at Bunnee not having been
broken. On the 23d I found myself in presence of the
enemy, who had taken a strong position, his left resting
on the enclosure of the Alumbagh, and his centre and
right drawn up behind a chain of hillocks. The head of
my column at first suffered from the fire of his guns, as
it was compelled to pass along the trunk road between
morasses; but as soon as my regiments could be de-
ployed along his front and his right eaveloped by my
left, victory d dared for us, and we captured five guns.
Sir J. Outran], with his accustomed gallantry, passed on
in advance, close down to the canal. But as the enemy
fed his artillery with guns from the city, it was not pos-
sible to maintain this, or a less advanced position for a
time taken up ; but it became necessary to throw our
sight oaths Alumbagh, and refuse our left, and even then
v.re were incessantly cannonaded throughout the 24th; and
the enemy's cavalry, 1,500 strong, crept round through
lofty cultivation, and made a sudden irruption upon ;
the baggage massed in our rear. The soldiers of the 90th
forming the baggage guard received them with great
gallantry, but lost some brave officers and men, shoot-
ing down, however, 25 of the troops and putting the
while body to flight. They were fin,lly driven to a dis-
tance
by two guns of Capt. Olpberts' battery.
" The troops had been marching for three days under
a perfect deluge of rain, irregularly fed, and badly housed
in villages. It was thought necessary to pitch tents,
and permit them to halt on the 24th. The assault on

---
1 the city way deferred until the 25th. That morning our
baggage and tents were deposited in the Alumbagh
tinder an escort, and we advanced. The Lit Brigade,
under Sir J. Outratu's personal leading, drove the enemy
from a succession of gardens and walled enclosures, aup-
p,,rte.i by the 2,1 Brigade, which I accompanied, Both
brigades were established on the canal at the bridge of
Charbagh.
"From this point the direct road to the Residency
was something less than two miles ; but it was known
to have been cut by trenches, and crossed by palisades
at short intervals, the houses also being loopholed. Pro-
gree. in this direction was impossible ; so the united
column pushed on, detouring along the narrow road
which skirts the left bank of the canal. Its advance was
not seriously interrupted until it had come opposite the
King's palace, or the Kaiser Bagh, where two guns and.'
a body of mercenary troops ware entrenched. From
this entrenchment a fire of grape and musketry was
opened, under which nothing could live. The artillery +
and troops had to pass a bridge partially under its
influence ; but were then shrouded by the buildings
adjacent to the palace of Fureed Buksh. Darkness was
coming on, and Sir J. 03tram at first proposed to halt
within the courts of the Mebal for the night; but I
esteemed it to be of such importance to let the belea-
gored garrison know that sefcour was at hand, that
with his ultimate sanction I d►rected the main body of
the 78th Highlanders and regiment of Ferozepore to
advance. This column rushed on with desperate gal-
lantry, led by Sir J. Outram and myself and Lieuts. Hud-
son and Hargood, of my staff, through streets of flat.
roofed loopholcd houses, from which a perpetual fire
was kept up, and overcoming every obstacle established
itself within the enclosure of the Residency. The joy of
the garrison may be more easily conceived than described,
but it was not till the next evening that the whole of
my troops, guns, tumbrils, and sick and wounded, con-
tinually exposed to the attacks of the enemy, could be
brought step by step within this enceinte and the ad-
jacent palace of the Fureed Buksh. To form an a !equate
idea of the obstacles overcome reference must be made
to the events that are known to haveoccurred at Buenos
Ayres and Saragossa. Our advance was through streets
of houses such as I have described, and thus each form-
ing a separate fortress. lam filled with surprise at the
success of the operation, which demanded the efforts of
10,000 good troops. The advantage gained has cost us
dear. The killed, wounded, and missing, the latter being
wounded soldiers, who I much fear—some or all—have
fallen into the hands of a merciless foe, amounted, up
to the evening of the 26th, to 535 officers and men.
Brigadier-General Neill, commanding let Brigade; Ma-
jor Cooper, Brigadier, commanding Artillery ; Lieu+.•
Col. Bazsly, a volunteer with the force—are killed. Col.
Campbell, commanding 90th Light Infantry ; Lieut.-
Col. Ty tler, my Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster-Gene-
ral; and Lieut. Havelock, my Deputy-Assistant Adju-
tant-General, are severely but notdangerously wounded.
Sir J. Outram received a flesh wound in the arm in the
early part of the action near Charbagh, but nothing
could subdue his spirit, and though faint from the lose
of blood, he continued to the end of the action to sit on
his horse, which he only dismounted at the gate of the
Residency. As he has now assumed the command, I
leave to him the narrative of all events subsequent to the
26tb.—I have itc.,

An account of the proceedings of the relieving
force down to the 25th Nov. is given in a second
despatch from Sir J. Outram to Major-Gen. Mans-
field, chief of the staff, bearing the above date :
" " Camp, Alumbagh, Nov. 25.
have the honour to acquaint his Excellency
the Commander-in-Chief with the proceedings of this
force since toe 28th Sept., the date of the last despatch,
and beg to refer to the dacuments enumerated. General
Havelock has commanded the field force occupying the
palaces and outposts, anti Brigadier Inglis has continued
in command of the Imeknow garrison—an arrangement
that has proved most convenient.
" The first work required was ter open a roadway
through the palaces for the heavy train, which had be" brouelst into.ons of the gardens on the 27th Sept., and
by let Oat: .was safety parl:el within the entrekhment.
"Contrary to tee expectatiene expressed in my last
despatch the enemy, relying on the strong isositien of
their remaining battery (the one known ri
Betery) continued to aunoy the garriesin by its fire.
and to maintain there a strong force. Ise capture, there
fore, became necessary, and this was effected on the 2d
of October, with the comparatively trifing loss of two
killed and 11 wounded—a result which is due to the
careful and scientific dispositions of Colonel Napier,
under whose personal guidance the operation was
con ucted. Three guns were taken and burst; their
carriages destroyed, and a large h ,use in the garden,
which bad been the enerny'm stronghold, was hlown up.
With a view to the possib lity of adopting the
Cawnpore-road as my line of communication with Alum-
bagh, Major Haliburton, 78th Ilighlandere, commenced
on
the 3d to work from house to hone. with the crowbar
and pickaxe.
. .
"On the 4th this gallant officar was mortally
wounded, and his successor, Majare Stephenson, of the
Madras Fusiliers- disabled. During, the whole of the
sth these proceedings were continued; bat on the 6th
they were relinquished, it being found that a large
mosque, strongly occupied by the enemy, required mere
evtee sive operations for its capture than were expedient;
therefore, after blowing up all the principal houses on
the Cawneore-road, from which the garrison had been
annoyed by musketry, the reconnoitring party gradually
garden, which
outpost, has

ent s
afford-
ing comfortable accommodation to her Majesty's 78th
Highlanders, and protecting a considerable portion of
the intrenchment from molestation, besides connecting it
with the palaces occupied by Gen. rfavelock; During
the foregoing operations the enemy, recovering from
their first surprise, commenced to threaten our positions
in the palaces and outposts by mining and assaults. As
there were only a few miners in the garrison, and none
with the field force, the enemy could not be prevented
from exploding three mines, causing us a foes of several
men ; and on the 6th they actually penetrated into the
palaces in considerable numbers.
" But they paid dearly for their temerity, being inter-
cepted and slain at all points. Their lose on that day
was reported in the city to have been 450.
"A. company of Miners, formed of volunteers from
the several corps, was placed at the diapoeal of the chief
engineer, which soon gave him the ascendancy over the
enemy, who were foiled at all points, with the loss of
their galleries and mines, and the destruction of their
miners in repeated instances.
" The Sikhs of the Fer...zepore Regiment have Zea-
lously laboured at their own mines, and, though sepa-
rated only by a narrow passage (16 feet wide) from the
enemy, have, under the guidance and direction of the
Engineer Department, defended and protected their po
sition.

" The outpost of her Majesty's 78th Highlanders,
under Capt. Leckhart, has also been vigorously a'sviled
by the enemy's miners. Its proximity to the intrench-
ment made it convenient to place it under the charge of
the officiating garrison engineer, Lteut. Hutchinson,
under whose skilful directions the enemy have been com-
pletely outmined by the soldiers of the 78th Regiment.
" I am aware of no parallel to our series of mines in
modern war; 21 shaft.., aggregating 200 feet in depth,
and 3,291 feetofgallery, have been executed. The enemy
advanced 20 mines against the pa/Aces and outposts; of
2 these they exploded 3, which caused u., loss of life, and
which did no inj"J ; 7 have been blown ; and out of
7 others the enemy have been driven, and their Wahl.'"

taken possession of by our miners—result, of which the
Engineer Department may well be proud. The reports
and plans f •rwardsd by Sir H. Havelock, K.O 8., arid
now submitted to his excellency, will explain how a line
of gardens, courts, and dwelling-houses, without fortified
eneeilitewithout flanking defences, and el, rely cone, cted
with the buildings of a city, has been maintained for 8
weeks in a certain degree of security; but notwithstand-
ing the close and constant musketry fire from loopholed
wall and windows, often within 30 yards, and from every
lofty building within rifle-range, al d notwithstanding a
frequent though desultory fire of round shot and grape
from guns posted at various distances, from- 70 to 500
yards. This result ha= been _obtainedeley the skiff and
courage of the Engineer and Quartermaster-Generare de.
partments, zealoualy aided by the officers and soldiers,
who have displayed the same cool determination and
cheerful alacrity in the toils of the tretica and amid the
concealed dangers of the mine that they had previously
exhibited-when forcing their way into Lucknow at the
point of the bayonet and amid a murderous fire.
" But skilful and courageous as bare been the engi-
neering operations, and glorious the behaviour of the
troop', their success has been in no small degree pro.moted by the incessant and self-denying devotion of Col.
Napier,—who has never been many boors absent by
day or night from any one of the points of operation,—
whose valuable advice has ever been readily
tendered
and gratefully accepted by the executive efficere—whose
earnestness and kindly cordiality have
'stimulated and
encouraged all grades amid their harassing
and dangerous labours.
" I now lay before his Excellency Brigadier Ingliee
difficulties
report of the proceedings in the
garrison since its relief
by the force under my
command since the capture of
the enemy's batteries an the occupation of , d ' the
palaces
and posts.
" The position occupied by the Oude field force relieved
the garrison of the intrenchment f all molestation
ten
on one-half of its ene• t is min
e,—that from the Cawnpore-
road to the commence front ; and the
commencement of the river
garrison, reinforced by detachments of the 18th and
Madras Fusiliers was enabled to hold as outposts three
strong positions commanding the road leading to the
iron bridge, which b
ave proved of great advantage,
causing much annoyance to the enemy, and keeping
at a distance from the
their musketry fire 'body of the
place.
"The defences, which had be barely tenable, were
thoroughly repaired, and new batterie
s
en
wer e constructed
to mount 13 additional guns.
"The enemy, after the .
capture
of the batteries, adopted
a new system of tactics. Their were withdrawn to
a greater distance, and disposedguns
tact
not against
so as to . • .
the defences, but ag •
ainst the interior of the intrencia
mente
"The moment they were out and silenced
their
esearching
was changed, so that
shot ranged through the intrencb t • and but for the
desultory nature of tle • fire nien ' been very
"Under might have
destructive.
"Under the care of the Su • .
nerintending-surgeon,
Scott, the hospital was - barricaded without
securely
detriment to ventilation.
" From theP. Harris, chaplain
of the garrison,
the sick and wounded reeeived the most marked and
personal kindness. His spirituel administrations in
the hospital were incessant ; his Christian zeal and ear-
meet philanthropy I have had
constant eoportunities of
observing since my arrival in Lucknow ; and but one
testimony is
to the personal brevet - borne to Ha exertions duricg the siege, and
3,
ha disphyed in hastening from
house tel house in pursuit of his sacred calling, under the
heaviest fire. Daily he had to read the funeral service
over numbers of the garrison, txposed to shot, shell, and
musketry.
"Order was establi-bed in the magazine under Capt.
Thomas, the Garrison Commandant of Artillery and
Commissioner of Ordnance; and under Dr, Ogilvie, Sani-
tary Commissioner, the conservancy department effected
greatand visible improvements in the condition of the
.
intrenchmente, besides removing the horrible collection
of filth and putrid carcases which hal accumulated in
the palaeee taken posn Beim; of by the relieving t.rce.
"1 cennot conclude this report without expreAsieg to
his Excellency my intense admiratien of the noble spirit
displayed by all ranks and grades of the force since we
entered Lucknow. Themselves placed in a state of siege
—suddenly reduced to scanty and unsavoury rations—
denied
all the little luxuries (such as tea, sugar, rum,
which, by constant
and tobacco) use, bad become to
them almost necessaries of life—smitten, in many cases,
by the same scorbutic affections and other evidence of
debility which prevailed among the original garrison—
compelled to engage in laborious operatione—expo d
se to
constant danger and kept ever on the alert, their spirits,
and cheerfulness, and zeal, and discipline seemed to rise
with the occasion, Never could there have been a force
snore free from grumblers, more cheerful, more willing,
or more earnest.
"Among the sick and wounded this glorious spirit
was, if possible, still more conspicuous than among those
fit for duty.
"It was a painful sight to see so many noble fellows
maimed and suffering, and denied those comforts of
which they stood so much in need.
"Bat it was truly delightful, and made one prowl of
his countrymen, to observe the heroic fortitude and
hearty cheerfulness with which all was borne.
"My core i i ►I acknowledgments are due to Brigadiers
Hamilton and Stisted, and to their Brigade Staf, Capte.
Spurgu
'e and Bouverie, for the efficient disposition of
their troops, under General _ . Havelock's orders and direc-
tion, and the vigilance with which they have guarded
their extended position.
"The glorious reputation
which his defence of Luck-
now has won for Brigadier Inglis leaves little room for
further commendation for the able manner in which that
defence has been continued, the vigour with which the
defences his garrison • have been improved and extended,
and the unceasing vigilance which rendered every effort
of the enemy to assail him utterly hopeless. I cordially
concur in and second his recommendation to the favour-

able notice of his Excellency the Commander-lc-Chief of
the several officers earned in his despatch."
The remainder of the despatch contains Sir J.
Outram's acknowledgments of the services of other
officers.
Another despatch from General Havelock, dated
Noy. 16th, addressed to Colonel R. Napier, chief
of the staff of General Sir J. Outran, that officer
having then taken the command, describes a minor
operation conducted by General Havelock. It is
short, but interesting, as it must be one of the last
the lamented General ever wrote :
"Lucknow, Nov. 16. 1857.
" Sir,—l beg to repot, for the information of Major
General Sir James Outran, G.O B.,the complete euccees
of the operations in whim the troops of my division were
employed under his own eye this evening in capturing a
aueceeeion of houses in advance of the Palace of Fureeci
Buk.h.
"I have given in the margin the details of detachments
employed.
"The nature of the enterprise may be shortly slescrit'ei
as follows; :--
"Toe progress of the relieving force under his Expel
wa_ceed,
lency the Cemm'anderein-Chief we+ anxiously "
and it was df terwined that as soon as he should reach tee
Sikunder Thigh, about three miles from the Residency, the
outer wall of the advanced garden of 'he palace, in wid&!.
the enorny had before made several' breached, thou' I be
blown in by mines previouely prepared ; that two pewer
ful hatteriee erected in the enclosure should then epeo
on the insurgent's defences in front, and after the f!eeired
effect had been produced that the troop: ffeoeld et len
two buildings known by the names of the !Tern Kele ea.
or Deer-heuse, and the steam engine house, Uisser
these, three mines had been driven.
"It was ascertained, about 11 a tn., that Sir (Vie
Campbe=ll was pPrating against the Sikunder Begto
The explosion cf the mines in the garden wa- therefore
ordered. Their action was, however, comparatively
feeble, so the batteries bad the double task of completing
the demolition of theewall and pr ,strating and breaching
the works and the buildings beyond it. Brigadier Eyre
commanded in the left battery, Capt. Olpberts in the
right ; Capt. Maude shelled from six mortars in a more
retired que-lrangle of thapalace. The troops were formed
in the equare of the Chuttur Munzil, and 'brought up in
succession through the approaches, which in every direc-
tion intersected the advance garden. At a quarter past
3 two of the mines at the Hern Khana exploded with
good effect. At half-past 3 the advance sounded. It is
impossible to describe the enthusiasm with which this
signal was received by the troops. Pent up in inaction
for upwards of six weeks, and subjected to constant
attacks, they felt that the hour of retribution and glorious
exertion bad returned.
"Their cheers echoed through the courts of the palace,
responsive to the bugle sound, and on they rushed to
assured vic'ory. The enemy could nowhere withstand
them. In a few minutes the whole of the buildings were
in our poesessiors, and have since been armed with can-
non, and steadily held against all attack. It will be teen
by the enclased return that the loss has been small.
"I received throughout the operations the most effec-

A report from Brigadier Inglis to Sir J. Outram
details the measures taken subsequent to the re-
lief to remodel the garrison, exhausted by privatio es
and fatigue, and to restore order in tlfe place. He
states that the buried treasure, amounting to nearly
25 lakhs of rupees, had been exhumed and placed
again in charge of the civil authorities.

officers of the garrison, giving the particulars of
operations incident to the defence, by detached

INDIA BOARD, FEs. 15.
The following General Orders by the Governor-
General of India in Council sum up the recommen-
dations in the despatches of the Generals :
Fort William, Dec, 22, 1557 (No. 1625).
The Right Hen, the Governor-General in Council is
pleased fo direct the publication of the accouipene lug
de patches relating to the first relief of the garrison o
Lucknow, which have lately reached Government,

These despatches contain an acr:bunt of the proceed-
, ing4 of the force under the command of the late 111::jor-
General Sir H. Havelock, $.C.13., before ho forcoa ns
way into the city, as well as the various operations car-
ried on under Maj "r-General Sir J. Outran', G.C.8.,
after a junction bad been eff.cted with the garrison
of the Residency on the 25th of Sept., until the arrival
of the relieving force under his Excellency General Sir
Colin Campbell.
They show how thoroughly this gallant band has
sustained the reputation of British soldiers for courage,
discipline, and determination, whether in the plain, in
the harld.to-hand struggle of the street fighting, or in
the more wearying labours of the siege.
The Governor-General in Council has already had the
satisfaction of acknowledging the obligations of the
Government of India to Sir J. Outram ; but his Lord-
ship in Council cannot deny himself the ploasure of
expressing again his appreciation of Sir J. Outrarn's
eminent services, and his respect for the generous and
soldierlike feeling which prompted Sir James to abstain
from assuming the position due to his superior rank, and
to leave in the hands of Sir H. Havelock the completion
of the undertaking which the latter had so successfully
begun.

To Brigadier Inglis the Governor-General in Council
can give no higher praise than to say that, during the
continuance of the siege, after Sir J. Outran] bad assumed
the chief command in the Residency, his ability, energy,
and vigilance were worthy of the lasting reputation
which his conduct of the defence has secured to him.
Sir J. Outrun has acknowledged the efficient co-ope-
ration which he had from Brigadiers Hamilton and
Stisted. To these officers, as well as to Capt. Bouverie
and Capt. Spurgin, serving on the Brigade Staff, the
Governor-General in Council desires to offer his hearty
thanks fur the good service they have done.
Hie Lordship in Council conveys to Major Eyre, who
had already established a claim on the gratitude of the
Government; to Capt. Maude, Royal Artillery ; to
Capt. Olpherts' Bengal Artillery ; to Lieut. Thomas,
Commissary of Ordnance ; and to the officers and men
of the combined force of Artillery, the assurance of the
satisfaction with which he has received the evidence of
their zeal and gallantry.
The labours that devolved npoa the Engineer Depart-
ment have been of a most important and difficult nature,
and the Governor-General in C.nincil begs to assure
Captain Crocumelin' commanding the Engineers ; Lieut.
Hutchinson, second in command ; Lieute. Russell and
Limond ; the officers and men attached to, as well as
those who volunteered to work with, the department,
his appreciation of the courage, skill, and energy with
which they bore their very arduous part in the siege.
Lieut.-Col. Para.'', commanding Her Meje4ty'- 90111
Light Infantry, deserves prair,e for the a-in maimer is
which he held an advanced post, exposed to the unc -acing
attacks of the enemy ; and to Capt. Braeyer, command-
ing the Regiment of F.3rozepore ; to Capt. I,,,ckhart,
commanding H.M,'s 78th Highlanders; to Captain
Shute, commanding a detachment of H.M.'s 64th, who
have each maintained a difficult past with complete suc-
cess ; to Capt. Wiilis, commanding 84(h ;
:o Capt. Galey, commanding Madras Fusiliers ; and to
Lieut. Meara, commanding H.M.'s sth Fu-iliers, the
Governor-General in Council tenders his hearty thanks.
his Lordship in Council acknowledges with pleasure
the cheerful alacrity with which Captain Barrow, coin-
manding Volunteer Cavalry ; Captains Juhusuu and
Hardinee, Irregular Cavalry, have come
forward to volunteer their services on every opportunity
—the latter officer having also rendered good service
as Deputy-Qearterma-ter General.
The thanks of Government are due to Capt. Garden,
Assistant-Qaartermastei-General ; to Capt. Moorsom.
H.M.'s 52d Regiment, Deputy Assistant-Quartermaster
General, for the zeal they have exhibited in their various
departments ; as also to Capts. Alexander, Orr, and
Carnegie for their able services at the head of the Intelli-
gence Department ; and to Capt. Macbean and Lieut.
James for the efficient manner in which, under their
superintendence, the Commissariat arrangements have
been carried out.

Mr.
r6solui
toitive

The Governor-General in Council bas great satisfac-
tion in acknowledging the excellent provision made
for the care of the sic by the Medical Department,
under Superintending-Surgeon J. Scott ; and his
Lordship in Council desires especially to tender
his warm thanks to the Rev. Mr. Harris for the personal
courage displayed by that gentleman in the discharge of
his sacred duties, and for the unremitting assiduity with
which he throughout the siege has sought to allay the
sufferings and provide for the comforts of the sick and
wounded.
The Governor-General in Council offers to Major
North, Deputy Judge-Advocate-General ; to Captain
Hudson, her Majesty's 64th, Deputy Assistant Adjutant-
General; and to Lieutenant Hargood, Madras Fasiliero,
serving on the staff of the late Sir Henry Havelock, the
thanks they have merited by the efficient discharge of
their respective duties.
The support rendered to the force, both in the field
and throughout the very intricate and difficult engineer-
ing operations of the defence, by Col. Napier, Military
Secretary, and chief of the Adjutant-General's Depart-
ment, has been most valuable, and his Lordship in
Council desires to assure Col. Napier that his ability and
exertions are fully appreciated by the Government.
The Governor-General in Council has much satisfac-
tion in acknowledging the services of Captain Dodgeon,
Assistant Adjutant-General; Captain Gordon Deputy

secretary to, Sir James Ontram ; of Captain Dawson
and Ensign Hewett, Orderly Officers, and of Mr. G.
Couper, of the Civil Service, who volunteered to perform
the duties of aide-de-camp.
In addition to those whose names have been more
prominently brought to noticP, the Governor-General
in Council desires to convey his hearty thanks to all
officers, non-commigsioned officers and men who have
been engaged in the operations referred to in these
despatches, for the valour they have displayed in the
field, for the firmness with which they have maintained
their position in the city, and for the cheerful, willing,
and earnest manner in which they bavo discharged all
the various duties and borne the privations imposed
upon them, under circum-tames of extraordinary (fa-
culty and hardsliip.

EAST INDIA COMPANY.

(Continued from The Sun of yesterday.)

- -
The CIIIIRXAN baying concluded his speech by
moving a vote of thanks to the Right Hon. Vis-
count Calming, Governor-General of the British
possessions in the East Indies ; the Right Hon.
Lord Harris, Governor of the Presidency of
Madras ; the Right Hon. Lord Elphinstone,
Governor of the Presidency of Bombay ; Frederic
James Halliday, Lieutenant Governor of Bengal ;
Sir John Laird Mair Lawrence, G.C.8., Chief
Commissioner of the Puujaub ; and Henry Bartle
Frere, General Commander of Scinde ; for the
energy and ability with which they have employed
the resources at their command to suppress the
widely-spread mutiny in her Majesty's Indian
dominions,
Mr. JONES • rose and said he quite agreed that
Sir H. Lawrence was far above the chairman's
praise, but he could not agree to the insertion of
Lord Canning's name in this vote, as he believed
his policy had led to all the evil. The hon. pro-
, prietor proceeded at considerab:e length to trace
the conduct of Lord Canning, and concluded by
moving as an amendment, "That this court is not
in a position to return thanks to Lord Canning ;
hut, on the contrary, is of opinion, from the evi-
dence before it, that most of the di-asters which
have taken I•l4ee are mainly owing to he want of
foresight. ignorance; and obstinacy of the supreme
Goverornent in refusi,,g to employ their resources
in the manner called for by the state of affairs."
Mr. Lzwirr seconded the ami ndtnent.

M. MACKENZIE supp,:rted the original motion.
He trusted 'he arnendmeut, would be withdrawn,
anlstn un onimous vote t,,ken. •

Mr. JONES would Ilot witilclraw his ammlment
unless the vote was so altered as not to commit
him to any judgment on Lord Canning's policy.
The CHAIRMAN put Ihe amendment, which was
negatived by a lar4e majority, only three hands
I),.ing held up in favour of it.
The resolution was then agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN, iu moving the second resolu-
tion.—" Tin' the thanks of this c._,urt be given to
11;6 Excellency General Sir C Min Campbell, G.C. B.
C,-.mmaii,ler-rir-Chiof in India ; M. kir-General Si.
Jailt€S Outran), G.C. B. ; Maj:n -Geu. ral Sir Ar3h-
iale Wilson, Bart., K. 0.8. ; and Major-General
John -7.4-mtvy—wittnot. Inglis, K. C. B. • for the
e.ainent skill, courage, and perseverance ai.sphyod
by them in the achievement of so many and such
important triumphs over numerous bodies of the
mutineers"—said it required little comment from
him. He need not dwell on the manner in which
Sir Colin Campbell had fought his way into the
garrison of Lucknow ; but what was still more
marvellous to the mind of a non-military man was
the manner in which he had withdrawn the garri-
son, with the women and children, in the face of the
enemy. The defence of Lucknow by Major-Gene-
ral Sir John Inglis—(hear, hear)—would live in
history as long as the English name endured.
Mr. LEwIN objected to the introduction of Sir
James Outram's name. He was the cause of all

the hostilities. He begged to move the previous
question.
Mr. CISAWSHAY sec3nded the amendment.
The previous question was then put and nega-
tived, only two hands being held up in favour of it,
and the resolutio❑ agreed to.

The CHAIRMAN then moved the third resolution
—" That the thanks of this court be given to the
other gallant officers of her Majesty's Army, Navy,
and Marines ; and also of the Hon. East Indi
Company's service ; for the intrepidity, the patient
endurance, and other high military qualities which
have marked their discharge of these arduous du-
ties which they have so successfully performed."
He did not think it called for any remark.:
After some conversation, the resolution was
agreed to, and the former one amended by the in-
sertion of Captain Peel's name.
The CHAIRMAN moved the next resolution—
" That this court doth highly approve and acknow-
ledge the high courage, the devoted loyalty, and
the brilliant services of the non-commissioned
fficers and men of her Majesty's military and naval
forces ; of the European troops in the service of
the Hon. East India Company ; and of the great
hody of those native corps throughout India who
have remained faithful to their standards ; and
that the same be signified to them by the corn
mauders of the several corps, who are desired to
thank them for their gallant behaviour."
The resolution was agreed to, as was also the
next resolution :--"That phis court do highly ap
preciate and cordially approve the courage, self-
n, and exemplary c ,nduct of the persons
who, ►hough not holding military rank, have never-
htdess performed valuable military service ii de-
fence of the various posts throughout the disturbed
districts in India at which they were resident ;
and that the Governor-Genertil be requested to
thank t'iose persons for their spirited and patriotic
exertions."

CRAW SHAY moved the addition of another
.kion, giving the thanks of the court to the
gArrison f Lucknow.

The CHAIRMAN opposed the motion. He did not
wish to (ietrac: from the eminent services of those
men, but other • native trib s hal been equally

faithful, and they ought not to make a distinction.
He begged to move the previous question.
The question was then put, and on a show of
hands the chairman declared the previous question
to be decided in the negative.
Mr. CRAWSIIA.Y demanded a poll.
The numbers were-

The motion was therefore not put. .
The CHAIRMAN then said that it was his duty to
announce that the court was further made
for the purpose of laying before the proprietors a
draft of a bill now before Parliament, entitled " A

THE CANTILLON LEGACT.—It would be affectation to
say that the explanations on this subject made by Lord
Palmerston in the House of Commons last Friday have
been received out of doors as a complete representation
of the facts. Several of the moat moderate and influential
of our weekly contemporaries have rejected them, and
now we see that Messrs. J. W. Parker and Son an.
nounce a pamphlet called "The Cantillon Legacy—
When was it Paid, and Who Paid it ? With the Docu-
ments in the Moniteur, 1853.1855, proving that it has
been paid ire full."
