EVENING, JANUARY 30, 1858.

&bazaar, where we remained ready to turn out at a
moment's notice, but we had! a pretty quiet night,
'only.musketry over us, which I don't mind much
now, and few do if it only passes kindly by ; so I
slept well. On the 6th Dec. I was ordered to rejoin
the brigade at 9 a.m., and we were strengthened by
about 400 men of the 42d Highlanders, which made
us (the 4th Brigade under Hope) about 2,000 men,
so I knew we were in for a good fight. The 3d Bri-
gade,
'jaub Infantry, were to hold the posts and camp ;
the sth Brigade moved off to the right ; the heavy
guns, under Peel, were ordered in our front, and
then the ball opened on both sides, and one battery
(timer's) blazed away. In a short time the Chief
ordered the brigade to form line, and directed me
to cover the advance with my regiment, which I
did about 600 yards, and he then ordered the ad-
vance, and the enemy were behind some limekilns
and in a village. My men came up within 200 yards
of the place, gave a shout and a cheer; and away we
went at them. They gave us a volley as we came
up, and then began to bolt behind the canal mound,
and we after them. -They then fired again, and
kept up until we jumped over and ran after them
all up the banks of the canal for half-a-mile, where
some stood at a bridge; when.we soon drove them
off, and they commenced a regular route. A good
many were killed, and we were off a great deal to
the left, with 11.0 suPPerti as all the troops were
moving across the bridge 4, so we crossed, and the
cavalry and horse attillety. were sent for to follow
them up, and we saw their camp pitched to the
right about a mile, and they were taking off their
guns and baggage to Cali le ; and so, ourselves,
some of the 93d, 42d, `ands marched away at
themorizoved up to their camp, found it. empty, •
tents,tbarries, rum, baggage of the 88th`stild 34th i
all over their camp, and so we went along the road
and followed them up for 11 miles. The cavalry
and artillery, with the Chief, went live further, and
we came back with 11 guns and 7 mortars, which
watea first rate thing, and pleased the Chief much.
The road was covered with hackeries full of clothes,
uniforms, ammunition for guns and musketry. All
the men—European and natives—got no end of
plunder and rupees off the dead men that were shot
and cut down. It was a wonderful sight, and lam
glad the Replays have caught it this time. The loss
Ido not think was heavy on our side. I have not
yet heard, but I should say that not more than 150
killed and wounded that day. I lost only seven
men. lam very luoky in commanding a regiment
like this, and I hope that if I get my company soon
I shall get a brevet majority by this campaign, and
we all deserve some rewards, as we are always now
on the move and have had severe fighting, as you
will see by the Commander-in-Chiei's Order,
issued after Lucknow, which I send. We
came back in camp about ten p.m. and

down and was rather cold towards morning.
"I had au escape iu the morning from a shell
bursting over me as we were advancing ; it made
my horse jump a few.• The enemy got our range
well all the way, but it was no use to them as we
went on so sharp. Sir Can is a first rate man; and
all like him. I see him very often : he is always
knocking about, and wherever he was the enemy
seemed to know, as they immediately opened on or
near the
...,place. You will see the accounts in the
papers ; 1 can wily tell you what I saw myself.
- "On the 7th we all: halted for rest, having driven
the enemy out of Cawnpore. On the Bth we (the
4th Brigade) were ordered to march somewhere,
but did not know the-place ; but away we went and
march* 120 'miles, when we halted on the road until
daylight, when we wont on until sunrise and then'
got the order to form up in columns of regiments,
with_ the 42d in support, and then were told_the
enemy were within-two miles like bees on the river
side, an °w its-wept and saw them crossing with
elephants. their guns, lam glad to say, were on
this side and :they- opened on the artillery and
cavalry, but our artillery fired beautifully ; I never
saw such bimutiful 'practice. In a short time
General Grant called up the infantry, and my regi-
ment being the readiug one he told me to go on
with the regiment alone and keep the guns, as only
a few of the enemy's artillerymen were in it ; but
,we found only the. dead and wounded, and got 15
guns with their atnmuuitioa, baggagi, &c. All,
cated ; "the cavalry got -about 100 of tfieln after-
wards and captured three regimental colours. It
was a great thing taking all the guns • we have no w
this week captured 42 guns in all. do the Gwalior
troops have no more, I think, which is jolly, as
when we draw their teeth they become harmless ;
we can soon manage their musketry. This affair
was well arranged, had we been a few hours later
,they would have got over ; but we came on sharp.
On the 10th we halted near the river to get in all
the guns, carts, bullocks. &c. taken, and on the 11th
we marched off to Bithoor, the Nana's village; butthe
ruffian has run away into Oude. We are looking for
treasure, 100,0001. said to be buried here, besides
jewellery. I hope we shall'get it, as our force is
i small and oar shares will be large.
" I never let my men take prisoners, but shoot
them at once. I have made many a sepoy pay the
penalty for mutinying and killing my brother
officers and friends, and trust more will suffer ere
I have done. • A lot of our men are doing duty near
Allahabad all right, with no officers, but they won't
catch nie'going to command if I can help it. We
have sent all •ottreaptured guns in to the Chief at
Cawnpore, with the 38th, who were sent out for
them, and we remain here for a short time, and
expect to be sent to take the Fort of Futteghur,
about 60 miles from here. It is wonderful to sit
here, having no round shot or musketry about as
we have had for the last month every day. I have
slept in my clothei now ever since the 14th of Oct.
last, and now don't mind it. This work must go
011 for some months yet. I hear that Benares is
threatened by a large farce, and the dak stopped
somewhere. They have detained some regiments
there which we expected.
" I have had a good taste of fighting this year,
and am glad of it. It was lucky I left Agra, as I
shall bold this regiment for some time ; at least,
until the fighting is over, as Captain Wilde is sick

commanded by the enemy ; so they had dug a
trench for us to pass through, and I consequently
was obliged to dismount and walk through it
while my pony was taken round • but then came
a most ludicrous scene. I had loaded my petti-
coats with valuables that I wanted to carry away,-
besides putting on double and treble my usual
number of garments, so that I was soheavy,
`and having no spring loft in me froth my .

' previously, I could not even mount my pony with
the assistance of a chair. However, a very kind
artillery officer, with a tall soldier and my Sikh
sepoy, at last lugged me into the saddle, and away
I went again, I and the artillery officer mutually
inquiring each other's names, ,he to tell my
husband that I was all right, and I to thank him.
Well, I came to another _ part where the ''balls
were whistling about famously, and some soldiers
advised me to dismount again, but, remembering
my former exploit, I determined to risk it. My
pony was coaxed into a trot, and I got all site to
Secunderbagb, an inclosure of 400 feet, where,
three days previous, 1,842 rebels bad been bay-
oneted. My informant, a naval officer, told me
the bodies were lying in heaps breast high, and
were all counted as they were taken out to be
buried. This officer, a Mr. Henry, of the Shan-
non, jumped off an 18-pounder as he saw me ap-
proach, and conducted me to some rooms appro-
priated to the ladies, told me his name, said he
should be at that gun all day, and if I wanted any-
thing at all I was to send to him. Soon after an
officer I knew came up, and immediately sent off
for bread and butter, meat, and a bottle of beer ;
the two former and last-named luxuries I had not
seen for months. Dear Charlie had popped a ham
sandwich into my hand at starting, a portion of his
breakfast (the ham boiled at his mess, a luxury on
the arrival of the relief), put inside a chupattee, so
I fared sumptuously. We rested here till all
arrived, and at 8 p.m. we were ordered all on to the
Dilkoosha, three miles further, with a very strong
escort, the enemy being out in that direction. An
order came round that doolies (palanquins for the
sick) would be provided for as many of the ladies

came in great discomfort, in rough native hackeries,
made of bamboo, and with wheels anything but
round. Sir Colin pushed us on tremendously--25
and 30 miles a day. I was in one of those hackeries
one day from eight in the morning till 12 at mid-
night, jolted to death. But I must not complain ;
the poor wounded suffered most. But Sir Colin
was required at Cawnpore—the Gwalior mutineers
were in great force there. ,We left the_Commatder-

I have sent a letter home, but quite forgot to Wish

a linen coat, windows open, jalousies shut, to keep
out the sin and glare ; my old grey-bearded
spectacled, turbanned tailor, is 'squatting in
the passage outside my door dressed in muslin,
wills his legs and feet bare, using his toes
nearly as much as his fingers in separating and hold-
ing the threads with which he is mending my shirts.
The four pilkey-wallahs who carried me home just
now in thovalantinin were naked ,from head to foot,
except a bundle of linen cloth round th-eir-Eins.
The trees and the grass are green—everything has
a summer-like appearance ; so one may be excused
for not remembering it is Christmas, if lately
arrived from England.
I see by the last papers from England, that people
were talking as if the fall of Delhi were the conclu-
sion of the mutiny. I fear that it is little mores than
the beginning. 60,000 men are required in the
field, and even if we had such a force, I doubt if it
could effect all that is necessary before the hot
season. It is hardly of any use my writing about
events here—you have much better accounts in the
regular newspaper correspondence.
I am surprised at the immense amount of red-
tape and office work here ; it is even more compli-
cated and intricate than our own. I wish some one
with the energy of Louis Napoleon, and invested
with sufficient power, would come out for a few
months ; he would soon settle the red tape, rebels
and all. I fear our scrupulous, methodical ways of
proceeding are sot calculated to settle matters in a
hurry, and are quite inconsistent with such an emer-
gency as the present. Our doctor has just been
growling to me that the head medico or the field

force, Dr. Dickson, has just been terribly wigged in
general orders, and dismissed from his post, by
General Mansfield, Sir Colia's chief of the staff, for
not carrying out a certain order. A number of
doolies were to be sent at a certain hour of the
night to carry sick. General Mansfield had pro-
mised an escort to prevent the dooly bearers from
bolting ; the escort was not sent, and, waiting for
it, the doolies were not sent at the appointed hour.
Tho doctor not having the name, fortune, parlia-
mentary and family influence of General Windham,
is held up to public reprobation. General Wind-
ham sacrifices most valuable lives, camp equipage,
clothing, treasure, kc., and perhaps stops the pro-
gress of a campaign ; and you will probably never
hear of half the misery he has caused except by ac-
cidental or private correspondence—the Crimea
over again, I fear. Sir Colin 's relief of the Lucknow
garrison was a masterly affair. If General Windham
had only had Sir Colin's prudence and caution,
affairs would have been in a different state now.
The Lucknow relief will, I expect, excite great feel-
ing in England ; it ought to do so.

[AnvEarisnm ESTl—Whilst we have constantly to lament the
failure of medicine to effect the cure even of those diseases
which have been longest known, and have for centuries baf-
fled the labours of surgeons and physicians, it is a cheering
thing to learn, on trustworthy and undubitablo authority,
that science has at length discovered, not a drug, not a
nauseating and disgusting compound, but a simple and de-
lightful article of natural diet, which insures speedy and
effectual relief in cases where all other appliances had failed.
Fifty thousand personal testimonies to the efficacy of Du
Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, give the most substantial
reason for encouraging the hope, and we fool justified in
saying that which we should be reluctant to affirm except
in the face of a body of evidence which it would be ab-
surd to gainsay, that there really appears to us to be no
reason why any person, however afflicted, if there be a
moderate portion of the vital stamina remaining,
should now despair of the recovery of health and vigour.
Amongst the diseases which have been removed, at various
degrees of obstinate inveteracy, by the use of Messrs. Du
Barry's Food, we find dyspepsia (indigestion), constipation,
functional irregularity, obstructions, acidity, cramps, spasms,
fits, heartburn, diarrhcea, nervousness, biliousness, affec-
tions of the liver and kidneys, flatulency, distention, palpita-
tion of the heart, nervous headache, deafness, noises in the
head and ears, giddiness, pains between the shoulders, and in
almost every part of the body, chronic inflammation and
ulceration of the stomach, eruptions on the skin, scurvy,
fever, scrofula, impurities, poverty of blood, consumption (if
not beyond human aid), dropsy, rheumatism, gout, influenza,
grippe, nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, after eating,
or at sea, low spirits, spleen, general debility, paralysis,
cough, asthma, tightness across the chest, phlegm, inquie-
tude, sleeplessness, involuntary blushing, tremors, dislike to
society, unfitness for study,delusions, loss of memory,vertige,
blood to the head, exhaustiononelancholy, groundless fear, in-
decisienovretchodness, thoughts self-destruction,&c. We must
admit that it was at first with some degree of scepticism we
heard the descriptions of the surprising cures accomplished
by the use of this preparation ; but, looking over the quality
of the testimony, the names and characters of the persons
who join in giving it, the consistent and candid tone of the
parties to it, and above all, the facility afforded by Messrs.
Eu Barry for communicating with any of the parties, doubt
and misgivings are irresistibly converted into perfect confi-
dence • and we recognise the presence of an agent of illi-
mitable good to humanity—a power which, as it becomes
known, must work a mighty and salutary revolution

POLICE INTILLIGENCE—Jan. 29.

MANSION-HOUSE.—ATTEMPTED FELONY.
Geo. Ponto and Elizabeth Fitzgerald, were charged
with being in the shop of Mr. Haines, a draper in
.Bishopsgate-street, with intent to commit a felony.
Mr. Haines stated that on Tuesday evening last,
as his premises were being closed, the prisoners
I walked in and requested to be shown some silks for
dresses ; after looking at a great number, they se-
lected one and requested that it might be'sent next
morning, at 11 precisely, to 66, Primrose-street,
where they said they lived, adding, that they were
glass-blowers. The dress was not paid for, but they
bought a few other things to the amount of 6s. 6d.,
for which they did pay. After they had left he
naissed a gown from off the counter, and as no Mrs.
Graves (the name given by the female prisoner),
could be found at 66, Primrose-street, the prosecu-
tor made the circumstances known to his fellow-
tradesmen in the neighbourhood, and requested
them to keep a sharp lookout in the anticipation of
their being honoured with visits from them—an
anticipation which proved to be correct, for on
Thursday night Mr. Grinstead, a neighbour, sent
him word that ho thought he had the thieves in his
shop. The prosecutor upon proceeding thither, at
one recognised the pris mere, and gave them into
custody.

Mr. G. Grinstead draper, also carrying on bnsi-
news in Bishopqgate-street, said the prisoners entered
his shop on the previous evening, and at their re-
quest were shown some silk dresses worth 2/. 10s.
and 2/. 15s. each. He consequently kept a sharp
look out to prevent robbery, while he sent a eoin-
muuication to the prosecutor.

ing outside the elibp as the prisoners walked out,
but nothinrwastpassed between them to her.
The Lard Mayor--LAre the prisoners known to
the-Police ?
ihetiloliolithn police constable, who happened
to be irCcourt-np:on other business, said that Fitz-
gerald had been tried at Clerkenwell sessions, and!
sentenced to eight raOnths' imprisonment for shop •
lifting: "She'had been out of confinement about
two months. "

Fitzgerald—The things I looked at at the dif-
ferent shops were far two expensive, and that is
the reason why I did not purchase the dresses.
With regard to the articles I did purchase of the
prosecutor, he charged me double what they
were worth.

Ponto-1 used to be acquainted. with this female
(Fitzgerald) some time ago, and I accidentally met
her on Tuesday night, near the Flower Pot. I
accompanied her at her request, and have been
stayin,-, with her since ; but I declare most solemnly
that f had nut the slightest intention of robbery,
nor did I know anything about her previous con-
viction.

Gaoler—No, my lord ; they are alniost as soft'
and delicate as a lady's handi. 1' do not think
they have ever had carpentor's tools in them.
Ponto—We don't all use our tools alike.
The Lord Mayor—But you 'must be a very
clever_ carpenter ifs ou can use your tools without
marking your hands.

PontO----I'm no cleverer than others, but I don't
care about knocking nuy hands about, and so I
handle my tools very carefully.
The Lord Mayor—From the evidence which has
been given, I am convinced that you are both art-
ful and systematic thieves, and I shall therefore
commit you to Holloway gaol for three months
each, with hard labour.

CLERKENWELL —DARING ROBBERY. —John
Shirley, age 20, was charged with violently assault-
ing Mr. G. W. Gardner, a printer, residing at 4,
Inkerman-road, Kentish Town, and stealing from
his person a half-sovereign and other moneys, at
King's-cross.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor
that on the previous night, between 8 and 9 o'clock
he was passing along near King's-cross, oppo-
site the Great Northern Railway, when he was
suddenly pounced upon by the prisoner, and was
very severely handled. The prisoner struck him a
violent blow in the face, which rendered him in-
sensible for some time, and had it not been for the
assistance of a gentleman, the prisoner would have
escaped. The money he had lost was safe in his
waistcoat pockets a few minutes before, but he
could not state whether the prisoner to )1( the
money, or some females, companions of the pri-
soner, who surrounded and also assaulted him. He
was quite certain the prisoner was the man who
first assaulted him. He was perfectly sober at the
time, and should be able to identify the females at
any time.

Police-constable Elmer, 187 S, said he took the
prisoner into custody. The place where the rob-
bery was committed was very dark, and the pri-
soner and his companions muet have watched him
away, as he was past the spot only a few seconds
before.

The prisoner, in defence, said the prosecutor
must be mistaken, for he never committed a rob-
bery in his life. The fact was that, having had bis
tools stolen from him in the course of the day, he
was out looking after them.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a very daring affair, and
the police must have time to look after the women
who were concerned in the robbery. He should
remand the case until,Friday next.
The prisoner was then removed.

WESTMINSTER.—RECLAIMING AN UNFORTU-
NATE GIRL.—A few days ago, Louisa Dyer, a gill
of prepossessing appearance was charged with a
most determined attempt at suicide. She lived in
a house of ill-fame, and groans having been heard
proceeding from her room, a fellow lodger gave an
alarm, and the apartment was entered by the win-
dow, when the defendant was found hanging from
the bedpost, with the curtains drawn closely around
her. She was insensible, and was conveyed to the
hospital, where it was some time before she re-
covered. On her being brought before Mr. Arnold,
she stated that although so young, she had been
eighteen months upon the streets ; and added that
she believed she had a father and mother living,
but did not know where to find them. Mr. Arnold
remanded her, in the hope that if publicity were
given to the case, they might be induced to come
forward and take charge of their child, and the ac-
