Th
e following despatchesdescribe the victory and
the subsequent capture of the whole of Jhansi,
town and fort, by Sir Hugh Rose :
This morning at daybreak the force under my
orders fought a general action with the so-called
Peishwa's army, and, by the blessing of God, gained
a complete victory. The rebels are stated to have
numbered fiom twenty to twenty-five thousand
men. They were under Tautia Topey, Nana
Sahib's relative, and their object was to relieve
Jhansi. The, rebels, amongst whom was the Gre-
nadier regiment and another regiment of thf
Gwalior Contingent, fought desperately ; but I
turned their flank with artillery and cavalry, and
after making two sands they broke and fled, defend-
ing themselves individually to the last. I pursued
them to the river Betwa, taking all their guns,
eighteen in number, one an English 18-pounder of
the Gwalior Contingent, drawn by two elephant.,
a 1-inch mortar, and quantities of ammunition,
inclu ling shells, 18-pounder shot, ordnance park,
and two more elephants. Two standards were also
taken.
From MAjor-General Sir Hugh Rose, K.C.8., to
Lord Elphinstone and to the Commander-in-
Chief.

Jhansi, April 2.
The force under my command stormed this day
the fortification wall of the city of Jhansi, and took
it and the city after a desperate resistance. I hope
that the fall. of- the fort will. oo4follow. The
►ebels lost about 1,600 men in the ietiOriOf 'the
B, twa on the Ist inst. Ail he guns we took on that
day are good.
From S:r Hugh Rose to Lord Elphinstone.
Jhansi, April 5.

The fortress of Jhansi has fallen. 'Tire Ranee
and rebels, frightened by the defeat of the Betwa,
and the capture of the town by storm, evacuated it
durin4 the night. The loss on the ret el side has
been most severe ; it must amount, for the three
days of the attack of the city, and of the garrison
of the city and fortress to more than 3,000 men.
From Rohilcund we learn that Nana Sahib was
at Bareilly on the 24th, having had an interview

Colonel Milman very hard—one gun especially

ford, of the 37th, was killed. On the 29th 100
men of the 97th and 20th Foot, and 110 Madras
Rifles were sent on from Benarea. The 13th Foot
from Allahabad have proceeded via Ghazeepore.

SP. JAMES'S TBEATEE.

Yesterday Signor Carlo Andreoletti, described as
" Physicien-Prestidigitattur to the Court of Turin,"
made his bow before a London audience. Equally
with his immediate predecessor at this theatre, be
gave his mystical illusions without the aid of any
apparatus. The following is the programme :
Part I.—Le Banquier de Londres, Les Oranges
mysterieuses, La Poule du Diable, Le Jardinier
galant. La Montre nudamorphosee.
Part 2—Grand travail des Oiseaux savants.
Part-3---La Boule Oneis•ante, La ne plus ultra
de la Cartomancie, La Pyramide d'Egyptt, Le
Teiuturier moderne, Le Prisonnier libere.
Le Grand Aritlune icien.
In personal appearance th- Signor bears an inter-
mediate resemblance to tt,e Duke de Malakoff and
to our renowned friend S-yer. He narrates his
" experience.," as be terms them, in very piquant
French, and with au evident enjoyment of his own
powers of mystification.
Audreoletti carefully submits to the manipula-
tions of the occupants of the stalls and the boxes
not only the plain deal table, without drawers, on
which he places the several objects operated upon,
but performs the major part of his tricks on the
platform, level with the stage which crosses the
stalls, viz., in thecentreof his audience. Every trick
was performed so perfectly, that one felt " that the
eyes were made the tools of the other senses."
We think "La Poule du Diable" and " Le Grand
Arithnaeticien" superior to any tricks we have ever
seen ; and the peformance of " The learned birds"
some almostsubso beyond efa.

The Phroosfeessoris
in no way inferior to Fri kell or Houdin ; and as the

cians were so completely outdoiiip > y the .‘.lrkeneh
Ptestidigitateur," so we think it would be wise in
our author ies to retain the services of this trio of
illustrious illusionist's, with the view of bringing
the Chinese to a sense of the inferiority of their
magicians in the presence of the Western necro-
mancer. In diplomacy, heretofore, they have
outwitted us. In natural magic, ho a ever, we are
greatly in advance of them.

MURDER AND INCENDIARISM IN

The village of Stoke Abbot, near Beaminster,
Dor setshire, was on Friday afternoon the scene of
a horrible murder. The victim was a quiel', well-
conducted young woman named Sarah Ann Guppy,
who lived with her mother in one part of a double
cottage in a secluded situation, about a quarter
of a mile from the village. The other part of
the cottage was occupied by Jchn Hatchey, the
owner. it appears that a young nr.an about 20 years
of age, name,' Jas. Seale, who bore an indifferent
character in the neighbourhood, had been lately
observed lurking about the cottage. On Friday
afternoon the girl was alone in the cottage, when
a woman in a neighbouring garden heard screams,
and shortly after saw Seale coming from the cot-
tage. He at first tried to avoid her, but afterwards
came up to her, when she noticed that his hands
and trousers were stained with blood. After
leaving this woman, Seale went to the mother
of the girl, and told her that her daughter
had been murdered, and her house set on fire.
This was soon found to be the case, and
when the flames had been extinguished by the
neighbours who soon assembled, the girl was
found on the floor of the kitchen quite dead, her
throat having been cut right through the windpipe.
Two dinner knives were found close by the body.
It was ascertained by a surgical exaarination that
the criminal offence which it was at first supposed
might have led to the murder had not been cJm-
mitted. The prisoner was apprehended in the
neighbourhood the same evening, and brought be-
fore the magistrates at Stoke Abbot on Saturday,
when'a verdict of " Wilful murder" was returned
against him. He was imprisoned for theft about
two years ago.

EXPORTS.
Cotton—The export-market has been active. Of co' ton
there are no stocks, and the holders are firm with a view
to meet former contracts. The continued good advices
from home have tended towards a further advance in
values.

r, R. HOWARD, burgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet
street, has ntroduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
,t'IMAL TF',F.TH ,fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
erfeetly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest ohserver; they will never change colour or
is cay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method ,foes not require the extraction of roots, or any nainful
rwration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and that Mr.
Howard's imprbvement may be within the reach of the most econo-
ntcal, lie has fixed the charges at the lowest scale possible. De-
czyed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in mastica-
tion.-52, Fleet-street. At ,ome from ten till five.

in Europe; the ware-rooms at the present day comprise upwards of
thirty saloons or galleries, having four separate entrances. Being
their own manufacturers, their productions are not liable to the
extra charges made on account of intermediate agents, and thus this
company can afford to offer to the public on terms far more advan-
tageous than any other house. Every article, even the Cachemires
is marked in plain figures.
LA COMPAGNIE LYONNAISE have established houses at
Lyons, Kashmere, kleic(ll, and Chantilly for the manufacture of
Silk stuffs, Cachemires, and Lace, but they have no succursale for

The essential object of this treat•se is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Louth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
narticularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their Physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
