This was expected with great interest, and was one of the
races to be rowed down, but was undecided, and indeed,
never started. Mr. T. S. Egan, umpire in the race, re-
mained at Chiswick-cyot, after accompanying the last part
of the first and second heats up, to bring the last down;
and being then informed by the protesting crew against
the substitution of Chambers that his boat was disqualified
and not to row, waited for some time for a communication
from the committee, but receiving none, and fin ling that
there were no lines for the men to start flow, deferred the
race until this (Wednesday) afternoon, at an hour bef,re
high water, to be rowed upwards from Putney. The New-
castle men and the Pride of the Thames crew are being
backed at large sums.

THE CAWNPORE MASSACRE.

Mr. George Stuart, of•the Sadder Court, Alipore, Cal-
cutta, has forwarded to London the following narrative of
one of the surviving laditi of the horrid massacre at Cawn-
pore. A duplicate of the document has been transmitted to
the Governor-General of India. The name of the lady can
be learnt at the College, Ewell, Surrey :
" I was 16 years of age when I accompanied my sister
and her husband to Cawopore, about six months before the
mutiny broke out, and suffered with the Christians under
General Sir Hugh Wheeler. Accounts had reached us on
the 17th of May of the distiiters at Meerut, and then we were
apprehensive of an outbreak at Ca wopore. We were gather d
into the barracks on the 21st of the same month, and suf-
fered dreadful pr2t allow. from want cf provisions and water,
and from the frequent attacks which were made by the
tnntinek rs on our small body of men, about 4M altogether,
consisting partly of officers of native regiments, and Go
Artillery , . .

" An enfOrtunate treaty wes entered into bet even Gen.
Wheeler and the Nene. Sahib on the 24th of June ; the latter
swot° by his gods awl upon the Gunge to protect us and
see us safely taken to Allababad in boats. We entered these
ja) fully, never for a moment expecting treachery, and
Are taken quite -by surprise when we were fired on.
The river its many places in the middle lad no mule
than six feet of water, so that most of the hosts were
soon aground. Saute of the small outs !Reneged to push
on, mid even then with difficulty. The filing at first was
irregular, hut after a while the balls came whizzing past us
as thick as hail, sinking many boats. I was on the deck
of my boat, seated stupified with terror and amaze-
ment, when I was further convinced of immediate danger
by seeing a party of sepoys enter the boat I was in. I "as
seized in an trivet-it by the arm by one of these savages—tor
savages and ruffians they looked. I was ask, dto deliver all
I possessed; money and jewels to the amount 4400 rupees,
the sum I managed to take with me when I proceeded to
the barracks, was now snatched from use. On replying in
the negative to questions whether I had more money and
valuables by me my person was searched rudely. My senses
had very nearly forsaken me. I was in a sort of stupor.
The search was made on my person while I was standing,
but to speak more exactly; I was made to stand while I was
searched. The ruffian, as if to tantalise me, let off his gun
over my head and shoulders iu the most deliberate and cold-
blooded manner. They afterwarOs shot two sweet little
girls, sisters, who were between the ages of six and eight.
The poor creatures were clinging to each other when they
committed this diabolical act. Next they shot an Eruasian,
whose name was Kirkpatrick, a merchant in Cawnpore.
How many others were killed by the miscreants I could cot
know, for I felt dizzy and sank on the deck. Fur what time
I remained in this state I have no idea. I returned to
consciousness by feeling myself suddenly and rudely seized
and thrown into the river. The need morneet I was buffeting
with the water. I managed, with some difficu!ty, to get to
land and scrambled on shore. I crawled on my hands
and knees till I reached a tree about half a mile from the banks,
and hid myself as well as I could. My thoughts, oh heavens !
were agonisieg. My sister, her husband, and children had,
I had not the slightest doubt, been ruthlessly murdered. I
shuddered to think of their dreadful fate. My thoughts
next reverled to myself. What was Ito do? where could I
escape ? surrounded as I was on all sides by the dreadful,
revengeful, and bloodthirsty enemy. I had no hope of es-
cape. I offered up a fervent prayer to God,—' Gracious
and merciful Father, Thou wilt not desert me in the time of
need ! Oh Lord ! have mercy on me !' and such-like
grayers burst forth from my innermost soul.
" I fell by degrees into a sort of drowsy fit, occasioned
perhaps from weariness, from which I was aroused by ap-
proaching stealthy footsteps. In an instant I sprang to my
feet, but instead of the ruffians whom I expected to see, to
my great relief the' well-known face and form of Miss
Wheeler, the General's daughter, were before me. In a
few words I understood that she had been dealt with in the
saute way as myself —i.e., thrown into the water by the men
who perhaps thought she was not worth a bullet,—that
being insensible she would soon sink to the bottom of the
river. Our agitation and fear, however, were so great that
we had not much ofconsolation to offer each other. We had

not been together more than an hour, I should suppose,
when a party of the enemy surprised us. We were dragged
in different directions, acd of Miss Wheeler's fate I knew
nothing till very lately. I was pushed and dragged aloug
and subjected to every indignity. Occasionally I felt the
thrust of a bayonet, and ou my protesting against such treat-
ment with uplif'ed hands, and appealing to their feelings as
men, I was struck on my head, and was made to understand,
in language too plain, that I had not long to live; but
before being put to death that I would be mace to feel some
portion of the degradation their brethren felt at Meerat
when ironed and disgraced before the troops. After a walk
of about four hours I was brought to a place about four
miles from Cawnpore, very near Bit hour, where some of the
mutineers were encamped. •I was almost in a state of nudity,
f,r my clothes bad been torn to pieces when I bad been
dragged along by the men, and I had the mortification of
being made a spectacle before these heartless and cruel
wretches. Clapping of hands and cries of Khoob-Kea!'
(Well done !) burst upon my stupified senses. A circle
termed round me. I sunk on the ground and buried my
face in my hands. Oh, the agony of those moments! At
length I heard a voice speaking to my persecutors in rather
a conciliatory tone—'Spare the poor creature and have
compassion on her; let her alone, she seems dead
already.' I looked up, and saw an African. There was
something mild and compassionate in his look. He relieved
me in great measure from the shame I was suffering by
throwing a covering or chuddur on me. He asked me to
accompany him. I immediately followed, and was
ushered into a tent, where I was desired by my benefactor
to take rest. He made me understand that be would do all
in his power to have my life spared. I thanked him for his
kindness. After a while he procured me a suit of native
clothes, which he said Ish )uld put on. You are very un-
well,' he s rid, 'your eyes are bloodshot, and face very much
flushed.' I knew that I had a strong fever on me, and felt
exceedingly weak. I replied that a little sleep would per-
haps do me gcod. I laid my aching head on the mattress
and fell fast asleep.

" On waking I sill felt so weak that I could hardly lift
my head. I had a eitupattie, or hand-bread, and a little
dhall served to tile, which I could not eat. My sable bene-
factor I saw no more till I went to Lucknow—he was an
eunuch in the King's employ, and had arrived in Cawnpore
a's an avant courrier with some despatches from Moulvie
Aiuedoollatt, Shalt of Pszabad, to Nana Sahib.

" I beard of some ladies whose lives had been spared and
who were In a building called the Assembly-room. How I
wished thht my siver, at least, was among the number.
"1 bad been some time now with the mutineers, and was
treated brutally. How I survived my severe illness, having
no proper nourishment given to me or care taken of me, is
a source of wonder to me now. Sinful as was the wish, I
wished and prayed for death, but Providence willed it
otherwise.

As I understood the Hindostanee language thoroughly

I managed to glean from the conversation" of the men dial
spies had come from Allahabad with news that the British
were making arrangements to march on Cawnpore. A ray
et hope shot through me at the prospect of being thus re-

lieved from the hands of these merciless men.
" On the morning of the 15th of July, on getting up, I
found that our camp was in an unusual bustle, news having
reached the Nana that the victorious British were marching
on Caw npore, after having routed the rebels first at a place
called Khaga, about five miles from r uttebpore, on Monday,
the 12th of July ; then at Aong on the 15th ; and finally at
the bridge on the Pauduo Nuddee, cr stream.
" An order was issued by the Nana for the women, chil-
dren,
and sick to be removed half way to Lucknow. I
vainly hoped to have been excluded from forming one of the
number. I was dragged and pushed along in my weakstate,
and when I actually sank from fatigue I was put on a cart,
but not before I had accomplished 30 miles on foot without
shoes. On the 21st we were joined by nearly the whole of
the mutinous troops who had evacuated Cawnpore and
Bithoor, and I could easily guess from our hurried marches
for days that we were in full retreat. Whenever the news
came of the pursuing garahs,' or white soldiers, the flight
was continued with a perseverance worthy of a better cause.
It can be easily imagined from this in what dread the
Sepoys held our soldiers.
"I had to accompany the flying enemy, and made a
detour of a great portion of the North-West Provinces on
foot, viz., Bareilly, Rohilcund, Futteghur, Shahjehanpore,
and the district near Delhi. After travelling through all
these places we joined the mutiueers at Lucknow. On our
arrival here I met my sable benefactor, who informed me
that Moulvie Alimmloollah Shah, commonly called the Fyza-
bad Moulvie, was one of the principal men or generals
among the mutineers, and he was certain that the Moulvie
would shelter and protect me if I wrote to him, stating my
hard caso. The Moulvie, though he bad a very great
antipathy towards Christians, especially English, was still
in every way a good, feeling, warm-hearted man, and had
declared his intention of protecting women and children.
As a steadfast believer of the Koran, he thought it out-
rageous to harm them. Very different was the case with
the Nana Sahib.
"As the Moulvie could read and write English
II hiaodranboiet
much difficulty in making him understand my p
condition. On a piece of dirty paper,
in which(seo-me salt
had been served to me I managed to scribble with a bit of
charcoal a few lines to tom stating my case in a few words,
and begging of him, in the name of his propl let, Isnliailsieornaibele
to help we, as it was impossible to drag on my
existence with the native soldiers, whose conduct to me

was cruel in the extreme. The

Ina ught a verbal reply from causetiieMoulvie to the yafter be
effect that
the Begum, his mother-in-law, would take me under her
protection, and that I should be one of the ladies of her house-
hold.
"The f Mowing day a suit of clothes similar to those wcrn
by Mahomedan ladies of distinction was brought to me, and
I was instructed to bathe and proceed to the Begum's Pa-
lace at the Kaiserlti.,th.
" I shall briefly pass over the particulars of my conversion
to the alaliornedan faith, and Installation as a lady of the
household, as I feel pained to think of this period of my
eventful existence; suffice it to say that I had to contend
with sufferings enough to bend and subdue anv woman.
The effect of the ill-treatment I hail endured tended is make
me a downright hypocrite. I could have been made to de
anything, and I played my part as a convert to the Maho-
medal] creed In a style at which I feel astonishes' now. I was
obliged to learn by heart portions of the Koran (Mahomedan
Bible), and had, mornings and evenings, to get through my
devotions. If I excited the least suspicion in the minds of
those about me of being a Christian instant death would
have inevitably followed. When I accompanied the troops
I was at one time ordered to be blown from a gun, but on
account of a hasty retreat I fortunately escaped, though at
the time I was glad of the order, for my life was well-nigh
intolerable.

" In every respect I was well cared for and treated by the
Begum. My health rapidly improved, and the desire to
live was now strong in me. ' I was well aware that the Bri-
tish would relieve the garrison of Lucknow, and that the
troops were on their way from England to punish the mu-
tineers.

" I have already mentioned that I became a hypocrite.
The Begutu and the ladies of the household believed me to
be a devout Mahomedan. I was much praised when I said
that I thought the English would not be able to relieve the
garrison or even to approach Lucknow.

f, Thi •
ngs progressed very favourably with me. The ap-
proach of Gen. Havelock gave me sonic hope of escaping. I
was here, I might mention, during the whole siege, and oh
how often did I offer up my silent prayers fnr the little band
of heroes struggling for life against an overwhelming force
The way of God is in the sea, and His path is in the
great waters, His footsteps are not known. But although
thou sayrst thou canst not see Him, yet judgment is before
Him, therefore trust thou In Him.'
" Great was the boasting around me because Gem Have-
lock had twice to fall back upon Cawnpore, but they MlS-
caleulwed his perseverance. On the 23d September he and
General Outram fought their way into the Residency.
The mutineers retreated hastily in every direction.
Even the little force consisting of only 2,500
men, and these infantry and artillery, with merely a hand-
ful of' volunteer cavalry, intimidated their enemies, who ap-
peared very numerous, in fact, countless. All that the
miserable sepoys could now do was to occupy loopboled
houses round the garrison, and kekp up an incessant fire.
" Nearly a month had elapsed thus, and reports were rife
that the Commander, In-Chief of the British forces, Sir Celia

Campbell, was advancing effectuelly to relieve the grip:m.o4
end the way in which he afterwards achieved his pureose
has been acknowledged by all as excellent.
"The Begnm, with whom I was low putting up, wri a
grim and suspicious woman, and, when thwarted or annoyed,
acted with prompt cruelty. She understood well her posi-
tion, and on rumours reaching her of the frequent defc it of
her troops by the British, she WU irritable to the last de-
gree. On the approach of the Commander-in-Chief her
equanimity entirely forscok her. She treated me with great
severity, and abused me frequently, calling me Kefli , or
unbeliever, a hypocrite, a slut, and a serpent who would yet
sting her benefactors. Her treatment of nee at last became
cruel. I tried to bear up with her ill-humour as ieel! is I
could, for to have said a word to her would hare been n
ed-
less. Death, I knew full well, stared me in the face should
my conduct be in the least offensive.
"One morning she entered my apartments in a freelie
state, and commenced, as usual,eaPiug toe names. I tho,ght
it eras one of her usual fits, hut try eyes were opened eeeed
she said, Your g,neral is approaching, but will find it no

" I accordingly waited till the appointed time, and when
I was convinced that all was quiet I made my way in the
datk from the palace as noiselessly as I possibly could.
I met my faithful companion at the appointed spot. After
changing my apparel I threw 1113 clothes I had taken off
into a well. After wending our way along au avenue or
grove of tiers, we were challenged by a sentry on duty. My
companion explained that we were proceeding to join our
husbands at tile Moulvie's camp. We were allowed, after due
search, to proceed on our way. At dawn we reached the
Moulvie's camp. The General
..Sabib, we were itiforine,l, was
not to he seen till 8 o'clock, at which time he would drill his
men. Aier waiting with feverish noxiety for two hours
there was a bustle among the m.in and I was informed Viet
they were preparing for drill andi were to have a sort of
sham-fight. In a short time the plain was covered with
infantry, cavalry, and artillery. The bugle sounded the
assembly' anti those who had not joined the ranks rushed
to them from all qnarters. The hum of voices suddenly
ceased as I perceived a cavalcade proceeding from the Muni-
vie's quarters. I was informed that the General and his
staff were approaching. Moulvie Ahmedoollah Shah wi.s a
middle-aged man, and had a somewhat distinguished meta.
I could see that he had won the respect and confidence of
his men. After riding with his staff from reement to regi-
ment, inTeeting them, the infantry were made to go through
some tnanceuvres. The cavalry had to wheel round, tr it,
and charge the infantry, while they formed squares and knelt
to receive the charge, and, when the troopers were within
a short distance, filed a volley into them ; they wheeled aid
retreated, and then the artillery opened fire on them.
" Various other manoeuvres were gone through. The
infantry regiments matched in open column, while he
bands played The Blue Bells of Scotland' to their si iw
march, the troops and horse artillery en the right and It ft.
The force assembled. I was informed, consisted t.f ;20,000
men ef all arms. Marching in th,s fashion, they retch vd
the General Moulvie's palace, when tke order was glusa to
halt, front, dress, advance for general salute, and to my
utter astonishment, God save the Queen' was struck up
briskly. After lodging arms the whole force was dismissed,
the men cheering ou the Moulvie expres=ing himself satis-
fied with the way In which the manoeuvres were gone
throup,rh.

"After the parade I approached with the rupees in my
hands; with suitable phra,es I won the Moulvie to interest
himsrlf in me. Nobody,' said he graciously, but in kn
upstaitish way, will molest you. Take apartments in the
palace, and have the slaves to attend you. You have Id-
lowed our creed, and we must protect you.'
" I was very coinfortabk so long as I remained at the
Moulvie's palace, tend was tree from all espionage from the
men ai well as women ; for the Moulvie was a despot, and
could o.der any person under him to be put to death, and Its
orders would be cheerfully carried out by his soldiers ; in
fact, be was a determined sort of a person, and as he hid
taken an interest in me, I was not interfered with.
" I bad made my escape from the I3egum's palace in the
beginning of November, and remained under the Moulvie's
protection till the 12th of that month, when he went t ut
with his troops to meet Sir Colin Campbell, then advancing
to the reliefof Luckoow. Before his departure he seat me
again to the Begun', with strict orders that I should be v ell
treated. She was still residing at the Kaiserbagh, and re-
ceived me with moody silence.
" My feelings during the combat which ensued in Luck-
now may be imagined. I would have escaped at its com-
mencement if I dared, but to have attempted it would !me
been certain death.

" After a dreadful combat it became evident that the Brit lab
would be everywhere successful, and then began a frightful
rout in our camp. Horses, camels, elephants, and carriee ea
were prepared for the Begum and her household. The to a-
tineers were fling in all directions. In the confusion I
escaped through a loophole of the palace, but the shot alid
shells were still whistling around. I knew not what to do.
It was evident I was little cared for er thought of iu the con-
fusion which reigned around me. From pursuit, therefore,
I had nothing to fear, but how to reach the English camp I
knew not. I advanced a short distance, but to have con-
tinued my course in that direction was to encounter certain
death, as an incessant shower of grape was pouteog
in from every side. In this extremity I had to join a body
of mutineers who took the direction to the north. I
wandered about—l cannot exactly say li,ev long. We mt.de
a detour to Oude. I journeyed on foot, and put up vi ith
coarse fare. I thought the chupatees and dhall now bonne
bouche. I was strong, 1 was well treated, and able to bear
any amount of fatigue. Our numbers could not have been
less than 1,000 men, with two guns; but they were twee-
mented by fugitives joining in twos and threes daily. II the
British, after the ret eking of Luckuow, immediately had con-
tinued pursuing the enemy for days in every direction they
would by this time have been totally extinct. As for me,
my safety lay in accompanying them ; nor would they have
let me depart.
" Councils of war were held among the chiefs, but,
haviug noeregular leader to guide them and bring their
discussions to bear upon their movements, they wander ed
about, a regular set of fugitives, until we were nearly 30
miles from Allahabad, when they came to a standstill. They
were now in a fearful state of mind, and, being exceedingly
stupid, could be made to believe anything, for all they
cared for was to have their lives spared. The British never
before contended with such contemptible foes. I kept very
silent for days; but when I found that the men were so
ready to take in everything, I spoke to them and called for
a council. They were eager to bear me.
" I explained to them that as their only hope was in the
clemency of the Company Balladeer, the best plan would be
to send me with a proper escort to Allahabad, where I would
explain their case to the Governor-General through the

locked more upon their sparing the life of one female ULM
the slaughter of.)00 men.
"After reasoning and discussing the matter, they at last
consented to let me go. They were, in fact, like drosfning
men, eager to catch at a straw to save their lives. I was
toads to give, before I started, to the chiefs or captains c: r-
tifleates that I had been well treated, for they said it was
better to have something, in case I played them false. I
readily agreed to this, and drew up about 30 certificates z.e-
corditigly, as they cost we nothing, and I was very anxe us
to get away from them. I left them with a light heart, ad
journeyed on foot with about ten men. Oh ! I cannot sthff-
clently describe toy feelings when I left them. I offered op
a silent prayer of thanksgiving to God that Ile had safely
brought me out of sock sufferings, degradation, and miser y.
After I creased the Ganges, zemindars, lan4iolders, that a-
days, heads of Mofussil po!ice, one and alWebels at he.:rt,
perhaps, and disaffected, hearing that I had important de-
spatches front the rebel camp for the Governor-General,
readily supplied me with palkies and beaters, and heaped
presents on me. I arrived safe on the third day at my
uncle's factory, a day's journey from Allahabad. The old man
and his family at first, could not recognise me; my Malmo-
medan costume, sunburnt face, and emaciated form tended
effectually to disguise me ; but this was only for a few too-
ments, and then I
;was clasped in their warm embraces. I
shall leave the reader to imagine the joy of that meeting.

" I shall now draw my hasty sketch to a close by infot M-
ing the reader that I am very happy In the midst of friends
and relatives at Calcutta, whither 1 came after residing with
my uncle for a month.
