the object of the postponement is to enable the par-
ties concerned to gain time, with a view to a com-
promise. It does not seem probable that the whole
truth will be known in reference to bribery in
Norwich until the appointment of a Royal Com-

THE VICTORIA CROSS.

(From the Gazette of last evening.)

VAR-OFFICE, Nov. 21.
The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her
intention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on
the undermentioned officer, rim-commissioned officer and
private, of her Majesty's 32d Regiment of_ Foot, whose
claims to the same have been submitted for her Majesty's
approval, on account of acts of bravery performed by them
at Lueknow, in India, as recorded against their several
names, viz.:—

Lieutenant (now Brevet-Major) Samuel Hill Lawrence,
32d Regiment—For distinguished bravery in a sortie on the
7th of July, 1857, made, as reported by Major Wilson, late
Deputy-Assistent Adjutant-General of the Lucknow- Gar-
iison, "for the purpose of examining a house strongly held
by the enemy, in order to discover whether or not a mine
was being driven from it." Major Wilson states that he
saw the attack, and was an eye-witness to the great per-
sonal gallantry of Major Lawrence on the occasion, he being
the first to mount the ladder, and enter the window of the
house, in effecting which he had his pistol knocked out of
his hand by one of the enemy; also for distinguished bravery
in a sortie, on 26th Sept., 1857, in charging with two of his
men, in advance of his company, and capturing a 9. pounder
gun. _

- Corporal William Oxenham, 32d Regiment--For distin-
guished gallantry in saving tho life of Mr. Capper, of tho
Bengal Civil Service, by extricating him from the ruins of
a verandah which had fallen on him,' C6rporal Oxenham
being for ten minutes exposed to a heavy fire, while doing so.
Private William Dowling, 32d Regiment—For distin-
guished gallantry on the 4th July, 1857, in going out with
two other men, since dead, and spiking two of the enemy's
guns. He killed a Soubadar of the enemy by one of the
guns. Also, for distinguished gallantry on the 9th of the
same month, in going out again with three men, since dead,
to spike one of the enemy's guns. He had to retire, the
spike being too small, but was exposed tb the same danger.
Also, for distinguished bravery, on the 27th September,
1857, in spiking an 18-pounder gun during a sortie, he
being at the same time under a most heavy fire from the
enemy.

Holloway's Pills—November Fogs—lmpurity of the air.
—As the blood in its healthy state sustains and renovates
every part of the living system, so when it is impoverished
or impure (as it must of necessity bo whilst November fogs
prevail and the density of the atmosphere prevents the dele-
terious gases rising above our heads) it has a precisely con-
trary effect. It is manifest that no medicine, which does
not reach the circulation, can exterminate disease. These
wonderful pills operate directly, powerfully, and beneficially on the blood, venous and arterial ; they remove all the me-
phitic vapours absorbed from the atmosphere; they relax
the air-cells of the lungs, affording a larger supply of
oxygen, and they expel disease and prolong existence.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Nothing can be more interesting
than the numerous extraordinary cures without medicine
of indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous,
bilious, and liver complaints, cough, asthma, consti-
pation, and debility effected by Du Barry's delicious
