POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Feb. 21.

GUILDHALL.—Maria Bell, a woman about 40
years of age, with twin babies in her arms, was
charged with stealing three coats and various other
articles of wearing apparel, value £lO, at 14, Broad-
sthie middle
ndy Emd
en, servant to Mr. Murcot, a printer,
to a bedroom on the third floor in
day and saw the prisoner crawl-
ing under the bed, and on the second floor landing
she found a bundle containing three coats, five
waistcoats, four pairs of trousers, two pairs of
drawers, two flannel shirts, one shawl, and one
scarf, belonging to Mr. Claudius Jose Cox.
The officer said he found under the bed on the
third floor, where the prisoner was seen, a parcel
containing about 30 different keys, and one of which
opened the door of the room on the second floor
from which the property produced was stolen.
Sir F. G. Moon asked what the prisoner's hus-
band was ?

. _
The officer said the prisoner was not a married
woman. She gave a correct address, and she was
living in a very low neighbourhood.
Mr. Cox identified the goods produced as his pro-
perty.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

MARYLEBONE.—George Kemp was brought
up on remand charged, under the Fraudulent
Trustees Act, with having unlawfully appropriated
to himself £l2l intrusted to him for the purchase
of a rick of hay.
The prisoner was committed for trial, with liberty
to put in good bail for his being forthcoming at the
sessions.

WORSHIP-STREET.—George Melaney and
Henry Weston were charged with breaking and
entering a dwellinghouse.
Mr. Solomon Deacon is the owner of numerous
houses in the New North-road, and also of one in
Newton-street, leading out of the road. Thishouse ,
had been recently vacated, and Mr. Deacon there-
fore
availed himself of the opportunity to put it into
a thorough state of repair. The house contained a
large quantity of leadwork and other utensils, all
very valuable to the owner, and Mr. Deacon went
over it after the workmen had left, to see that his
property was safe, and, having satisfied himself in
this respect, he was closing the street door after
him, when two comObles gave him "the pleasing
intelligence," as he called it, that his house would
be broken into in the course of a few hours, and
that he had better therefore admit them into it, to
secure the thieves. This he did, and left, and
while Smith. 99 N, ensconced himself in the par-
lour, Leveridge, 84 N, placed himself in the kitchen,
so as to be ready at both places of ingress. There
was a crack in the parlour shutters, and through
this, by means of a gaslight opposite, Smith shortly.
after saw both prisoners walk past the house, re-
turn, and examine it, and then Melaney lifted
Weston over the railings and dropped him into the
area, into which he flung a large black bag, which
Weston placed on the window-sill, and then, after
bumping against and trying to force the kitchen
door, but uselessly, he cautiously shot back the hasp
of the kitchen window with a knife, got into the
room, and, to prevent the open window being notice
by the passers-by, carefullyclosed it after him. The
rest of the affair was soon over, for the moment
Weston found himself =fronted with Leveridge
he rushed upstairs, but only to fall into the hands
of Smith, and though the pursuit after Melaney,
who heard the /loin inoide and took to his heels,

It was late in the afternoon of the 29th when our
spies returned, and stated that the Nana, Bainie
Madhoo, and a large number of desperate rebels,
with six or seven guns, were assembled near Ban-
kee, on the south side (right bank) of the Raptee,
near the Nepaulese frontier, the Begum, with
another army, being on the left bank, about eight
miles from them. Lord Clyde at once resolved to
attempt to surprise the enemy by a night march.
The mere chance of capturing Nana Sahib, killing
and dispersing some of the desperadoes around him
before the old year closed, seemed to justify an
undertaking which was esteemed hopeless by those
most conversant with Indian warfare. References
to the great uncertainty attendant upon endeavours
to catch. weazels in a dormant state were largely
applied to the project. The enemy were 23 miles
away, the nights were pitch dark, there were no
roads whatever, the guides were not to be depended
upon, the rebels would be informed the moment we
stirred—these were all points duly considerred and
commented upon in a spirit not very favourable 1;)y
the two or three people who knew of Lord Clyde's
determination that evening. As it was impossible
to keep quite secret the fact that we were going to
move—inasmuch as men must eat and food must
be prepared, and camels and elephants brought
in from grazing—the story was successfully, prp-
pagated that we were going to Bingha. ITow,
although the matter did not in the least affect the
success of the enterprise, I am bound to say that in
the camp bazaars it was stated an hour after Lord
Clyde had decided on his movements that we were
going to march that night to Bankee. The Chief of
the Staff, the Special Commissioner, the Quarter-
master-General, the Adjutant-General, Major Nor-
man, all were dubious of the chances of smile-clip.
But Lord Clyde was resolved to try. He instructed
Captain Fitzgerald to collect as many elephants As
possible, and to have them ready at dark. General
orders were issued in the evening warning the
regiments available for the expedition to parade in ,
front of their respective lines at eight o'clock p.m.,
and there await further orders, The heavy guhs
were left in charge of a detachment of her Majesty's
20th, and the baggage, with a small guard, was
placed under the care of Major Kirby, her Majesty's
94th Regiment, acting on the Quartermaster-Gp-
neral's staff, with orders to move off and follow
the columns next morning at daybreak. It w
distinctly announced that no officer should be p -
mitted to march who did not receive an invitati n
or orders to do so ; and, of course, the secrecy of the
expedition leading to the conclusion that a great
object was in view, the officers not invited were lip
to seven o'clock in a- state of considerable irritati4n
and excitement. Nearly every one about head-
quarters, except those all-knowing wily politicals
who pull the strings which set so many legs
and arms working, and the heads of departments,
were in utter ignorance of the object or direction of
the night march. I question much if colonel or
brigadier was acquainted with the course till the
stars of Heaven told them they were steering north-
wards. Now, it is a most difficult matter to orge.-
nise an expedition in the night in an unknown
country. One man may make his way towards a
certain point guided by local knowledge, a compass,
and the stars, but the direction of elephants, camels,
and guns over rice-fields, rice swamps, forests,
ditches, rivers unknown, is a very different matter.
Even the move in front out of a camp at night n
column of march is more difficult tb an the words
seem to express. If, in the Duke's opinion, theie
were a few generals who could get a large corps
into Hyde-park, but few or none who could get
them out again in broad daylight, it may be ima-
gined that it is by no means so simple as it would
appear to the uninitiated to get infantry, cavalry,
and guns in proper order, all in direct column of
route, out on the open in a pitch dark night. Oar
little expedition consisted of the 7th Hussars, head-
quarters of the Carabineers, Ist Punjaub Cavalry-,
a troop of the Royal Horse Artillery (six guns), the
Rifle Brigade, a detachment of her Majesty's 20th,
and a wing of the Belooch Battalion. As Captain
Fitzgerald collected 150 elephants, it was arranged
that one half of the force should be mounted—five
on each of these unwieldy locomotives—the other
half marching till the halts took place, when they
relieved their comrades from the trouble ofjourney-
ing aloft, and the elephant cavalry became infaip.-
try till the next half. There were some spare
elephants in case of accidents. Lord Clyde, with
his shoulder bandaged up, was, much against lits
will, obliged to go in a dooly. The mess dinnerS,
an hour earlier than usual, were full of conjecture;
but it was generally supposed we were going to
aid Grant in some conjectured difficulty. About
7.30 p.m. the officers of head-quarters were in-
formed that whoever wished might join the head
of the column. At 8 o'clock the regiments were
formed up in front of their camps, and at 8.30 they
were marched off, with the usual advance guard,
into the darkness. Not a light was to be seen save
the glare of the watch-fires ; but soon there appeared
before us, like a light in some wintry sea, one steady
flame. A lantern had been mounted on the back
of an elephant which followed the guides, and had
the honour of being the leader of the expedition.
The men were in high spirits. Wrapped in their
greatcoats; those social fives smoked, chatted, and
laughed in their peripatetic clubs till the cold and
monotony of the night march proved too much for
even the most loquacious Hibernian. Linkmen with
flaring torches after a time were put forward
to
cast a light on the pitfalls, the heavy fields, ditch, es,
and wells which lay in our course. A delay of
nearly an hour occurred soon after we left _ e
camp i
n getting the columns into proper order.
Just to illustrate the difficulties of a night march
in this sort of country where no officer knows
where he is going, I may mention that the Madras
Light Cavalry, a most efficient set of men, were
unwittingly left behind. They were formed up in
their proper place, but bysome accident the Captain,
Macgregor, did not receive the order to move off
with the rest of the column, and after a long halt
in the cold, he rode off to see what had become of
the rest. He could not find them. Ho then
marched off his troop, circled round the camp—saw
no trace of the column—came back—marched again,
and after an ineffectual search returned to camp at
midnight till next morning, which his squadron
proved a more useful and desirable escort and aid
to Major Kirby in his march with the baggage and
tents. The column, once started, moved off in a
straight line to Bankee. Elephants crashing in
one leading line through cates, over swampy grass,
through dell-fields, can outnArch cavalry or infan-

try, and the latter regulated the pace. The mov-
ing lighthouse guided the officers, and so, tramp,
tramp, squash, squash, thud, thud, away they pro-
ceeded. A northerly wind came down sharply
from the Himalayas, and soon the cold cut through
the warmest Indian clothing. The column made
such good progress that if it had pushed on, it
would have reached Bankee long ere daybreak.
A long halt was called, therefore, near a tope of
trees and a small hamlet. Wrapped up in cloaks
and resais, officers and men enjoyed an hour's re-
freshing sleep. The march commenced again so
timed as to bring the force to Bankee soon after
sunrise. It has transpired since that in the night
the column passed a large party of the enemy on
the left.. Lieutenant-Colonel Crealock and some
others observed fires on the left, which were the
watches of the enemy, but it was supposed they
proceeded from villagers engaged in some festival
or agriculture. pursuits. The enemy remained
quite still, and made off towards the west as soon
as it was morning. As daylight broke, the flankers
and videttes were thrown well out. The country
was exactly like that I have previously attempted to
describe, the villages being very clean and the
houses better than in most parts of Oude. The
villagers generally ran away as we approached, and
large herds of cattle were visible in the distance,
which the proprietors drove from the line of our
march as last as they could. The old men left in
the villages professed entire ignorance of the ex-
istence of the enemy. About seven o'clock, how-
ever, when the force had got within a few miles of
Bankee, a white clump was observed by our vidett
at the base of a thick-tope of trees. It wavereu tu
and fro, extended, and broke, resolving itself into a
strong picket of sowars, who rode away towards:
our right front. They were tho enemy. Lord
Clyde was right. The whole column was at once
pressed forward towards Pooreniee, a hamlet on the
right and in the rear of Bankee, close to the edge of
a broad belt of an outlying strip of the tcrai. About
8 o'clock the enemy, mostly cavalry, were visible
in our front ; as we approached, it was ascertained
that a long deep swamp lay in their front, which
was covered on each flank by a small village. Be-
hind them and on their left, as far as the eye could
reach, extended the jungle, a dense high wall of
green, apparently of immense thickness. The
Commander-in-Chief, who was now mounted on an
elephant, attended by Colonel Metcalfe, recon-
noitred their position. General Mansfield was
intrusted with the general direction of the attack.
A very few moments sufficed for the dispositions.
The Cavalry formed in line, a part of the Punjab
Horse on the right, the Carabineers, under Colonel
Bickerstaff, next; then the six guns; next the
7th Hussars in columns of squadrons, and on their
left the rest of the Punjabees, the infantry dis-
mounted being on the left rear. On our left front
there was a tope occupied by the enemy, behind
which the line of the jungle, parallel with their
rear, formed a right angle with the jungle on our
right flank. The 7th Hussars at once went to the
left, round the swamp, and advanced rapidly
towards the tope, while the Carabineers and Pun-
jabees proceeded towards the right. The enemy
were already retreating rapidly and in confusion,
having only just received warning from their
picket of our approach. The bulk of their infantry
seemed to go off towards their right, making for the
jungle; those who were in the tope fled towards
the right. The Hussars slipped after the infantry
towards our left, the guns, Carabineers, and.
Punjabees on the right were received by the
fire of three guns—one in the tope, and two
from the village-, near the angle of the two lines of
jungle. They pushed on, the shot flying over their
heads, the enemy flying into the jungle, and in a
few moments the three guns were ours. But here
occurred one of those accidents which show the un-
certainty of any military operations not conducted
in the most perfect accordance with the established
rules of war. Cavalry and horse artillery can do
much, but they cannot charge jungle. The in-
fantry were far behind. The moment the enemy's
infantry got within the jungle they faced round and
opened a sharp musketry fire on the cavalry and
guns, while two guns, quite concealed from
_view,
served by steady gunners with shot, shell, grape,
cannister, and shrapnel, opened on our men.
Frazer's guns in rain tried to search out the jungle
and to silence the enemy's fire. The Rifles were
advancing at the double, and as it was quite useless
to expose men to a fire, already very heavy, which
a few seconds might render fatal, the artillery were
retired by alternate guns, firing as they fell back,
and covered by the cavalry. The Rifles advanced
splendidly, and as their Enfields began to whistle
through the trees the enemy's guns shut up and their
infantry disappeared. The advance again was
ordered, and on examination a path was perceived
in the jungle at the angle of the two lines of wood
already mentioned. At this moment it was re-
ported that the enemy on the left were in force, and
soon afterwards that a party of Sowars were
threatening our left flank. The Carabineers and two
guns were detached to meet the latter movement,
and the 20th Regiment were placed to cover the
rear, while the Rifles advanced through the jungle
in front of the left flank of the Hussars and the
Punjabees, who with five guns filed through it by
the road. The sowars proved to be a detachment
of Punjabees who had been left with the Beloochees
at Mejiddiali, and were led out by Mr. Ross when
he heard the firing. The enemy's infantry did not
make any attempt on our left, but seem to have got
away through the jungle on their right from the
line of rifle skirmishers. It was about 8.30 when
the enemy opened fire on us. The belt of jungle
was about half a mile broad. By 10.30 our cavalry
and part of the guns suddenly emerged on a wide
plain with an undulating surface, in front of which
rose the Nepaulcse hills, with their • base covered
by the Tcrai. On the left of the cavalry the belt
of jungle ran on in a line down to a dip in the
ground, where it abruptly ceased. In the plain
appeared the enemy, flying in two disorderly bodies
—one towards the left, where the jungle ceased, as
I have described, the other towards a village on our
right. Detaching a squadron of the 7th Hussars
to the left, Sir -William Russell led the remainder
of his • regiment and the Punjabecs towards the
large mass of the fugitives on the right. As they
dashed onwards the it course was unfortunately in-.
terrupted by a deep nullah filled with water, which
stopped Fraser's guns and detained the cavalry
in their pursuit. The moment they were freed
from this obstacle they charged on to the
right, but the enemy had got a good start and
were close to the village, which was situated on a
ford of the river Raptee. Here they rushed across
in wild confusion. But the Hussars pressed close
upon them. The Punjabees captured a gun on the
brink of the river. suddenly a heavy battery of
six guns from the other side of the rivet' opened on
our cavalry, covering the ford, and ploughing up
the opposite bank. The Begum's guns had been sent
i.
up and Mchundie Hoosein was doinghis best for !Is
friends. Our guns were not up. The enemy on the
right had got over, and were collecting on the other
side of the rapid river under cover of their guns.
Meanwhile the squadron under Fraser on the left,
having a greater space to go over, had not got so
close to the river at the point where the jungle
joined its course. The enemy, beaded_ 1)3.- the Rifles
through the jungle and cut off on the right, were
all crowding in dismay towards the narrow point
where there was a ford on the left. The Hussars
and Punjabees on the right were at once wheeled
round, and, running the gauntlet of the enemy's
guns all along the bank of the river, galloped as
hard as they could to assist the squadron on
the left. As Fraser's men saw they were in
on the enemy, and that a river ran before them,
they gave one ringing cheer, sat down in their
saddles, and rushed along as fast, fierce, and strong
as the Raptee itself. • " Steady, men, steady !"—it
is in vain, the thunder of horses' hoofs, the lightning
of battle, roll and flash along. Sir William Russell,
galloping as hard as he can, tries to come up on
their right`; but even his longlegged horse cannot
catch the troopers up.
The Raptee, now at its lowest, is a very clear,
rapid, mountain river, with low banks, between
which are beds of sand deposited by the torrents
which descend from the hills during the rains. Its
course is exceedingly tortuons, and we know little
or nothing of its direction, or of the fords. The
pace quickens as we close upon the enemy, but the
sowars are well mounted, and ride well. The mass
of the enemy dash over the bank, over the sands
and boulders, and right into the current.
In a cascade of white the sowars precipitate them-
selves into the waters of the Raptee. At the sight
our Hussars give one more wild cry and in an
instant they are engaged with them in the river.
Not a man could be held, each went straight at an
enemy. Their horses flounder amid,hey thecnt rdoocrn, butthe

The body of Major Horne was brought into camp
this afternoon by some natives, who, stimulated by
the promise of a reward, searched the river, and
discovered the corpse in a pool submerged in a quick-
sand below the ford.. It was reported that he held
in his death grip a Sowar in each hand, and that
the bodies, one of which bore the marks of a despe-
rate wound, were found beside him ; but there aro
some doubts as to the truth of the story, as no
European saw the dead Sowars. The gallant and
lamented officer was buried this evening in front of
the camp, under a lone tree, whereon a plate,
with an inscription stating his name .rank, and the
manner, and date of his death, is affixed. It was
an affecting ceremonial, decoriously conducted. The
staff of Lord Clyde, of Sir W. Mansfield, the head-
quarters' officers, the officers of the Rifle Brigade,
Brigadier Horsford, Brigadier Richniond Jones,
the officers' and a detachment of the Carabineers,
Sir W. Russell and the officers and men of the 7th
Hussars, followed the bier, behind which was led
the horse of the deceased in funeral trappings. As

the procession, preceded by the band of the Rifle
Brigade, passed out of the camp and the sad and
noble strains of " the Death March" swelled
through the air the native camp followers thronged
to gaze upon the spectacle, and one or two sa-
laamed as the war horse passed them. Sir Wm.
Russell, in the absence of any clergyman, read the
funeral service. In the gloom of a murky evening,
with one rift in the clouds, through which poured
a broad thin sheet of orange light from the setting
sun, the deep grave, surrounded by the countrymen
and comrades of the soldier, reminded us how far
we were from our home, how near we might be to
that final resting-place which_ is everywhere.

Before the service was closed in darkness the yells
of the jackals in the distance made us look to see
the grave was deep. Long may it be, before Eng-
lish eyes again rest on the spot where the soldier
was laid so solemnly in his shroud.

Such intelligence as we have this morning leads
us to believe that the rebels may not be in Nepaul,
but that they have moved to a place in the
valley of the Raptee, about 14 miles in our front.
At 11 o'clock our camp was struck, and we

moved out with the intention of crossing the

Raptce, when epics came in with the news—that
the enemy were actually discussing the pro-
priety of coming down and crossing the river
to attack us. As it was desirable, above all things,
to place the river in their rear in case of an
attack, so that they could not escape or get away
their guns. Lord Clyde gave orders for the camp
to be pitched about a mile from its original site, and
here we have halted for the day close to the spot
where the affair of the other day began. It is re-
ported that on the evening of our engagement the
Begum, with her followers, marched towards the
north till she came to the Ghoorkha post at the
entrance to the hills, which consisted of 200 men

only. The officer in charge said he- had no power
to permit her armed soldiers to pass, but that she
and her officers and domestics might some in if they
liked. The Begum thereupon exhorted the Sepoys
to disperse and go to theirhomes, but they followed
her up to the post, and pressing after her by their
numbers forced their way past, and marched seve-
ral miles up the country. The Ghoorkha officer of
the district informed the Begum -he could not per-
mit such a violation of his master's territory, and
thereupon she went out next day, followed by the
Sepoys as before, and joined the rebels under the
Nana Sahib, Mehundie Hosein, Bala Rao, Bainie
Madho, and others. The rebels are in three dif-
ferent camps, and are said to extend over a space
of 14 miles. In order to hem in the enemy, if pos-
sible, Colonel Christie, who was at Pudnaba, on our
west, on New Year's-day, has been directed to
march towards us with all speed. Colonel Pratt,
her Majesty's 23d, has been summoned from the
Gogra ; the wing of the Belooch Battalion is to
come in from Mejiddiah ; the five companies of
her Majesty's 20th, left at Nanparah, are hastening
up with the guns of which they are in charge.

PAUPEItISM.—LI,9IO,6OB was the sum expended
in 645 Unions during the half-year ended Michaelmas,
1858, of which £469,258 was for in-maintenance, and
£1,441,350 for out-relief. The cost of relief to the irremove-
able paupers was 30.5 per cent. on the cost of relief of other
paupers during the half-year, but during the half-year
ended Michaelmas, 1857, the ratio was 28.4 per cent.
788,248 paupers were in rectipt of relief on the Ist of July
last, and this is given as a fair average of the numb:cra
re-
lieved in the half-year. The cost of in-maintenance and
to
out-relief is 72 per cent. of the entire cost of the
the poor.

CANTERBURY HALL, Westminster-road.--,
Proprietor -C. MORTON.
The üblic is most respectfully informed that the FINE
ARTSGALLERY, in connection with the above Hall, IS NOW
OPEN PAY AND NIGHT, from 11 o'clock a.m. until 12
o'clock p.m- The New Gallery contains an extensive Collec-
tion of Pictures, by Ancient and Modern Masters !and is also
devoted to Art productions generally. The Proprietor feels
he may confidently assert that, viewed altogether, the exist-
ing Music Hall, the New Fine Arts Gallery, and the recently
added Ante-Hall, will present an attraction which, whether
as regards the architectural beauty of the structures them-
selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations
within, will be found to be wholly without parallel in the
Kingdom.
The MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT commences as usual at
Seven o'clock.
In addition to the usual entertainment, the SAUVLE'T
FAMILY, of Amsterdam, Eight in number, whose varied
instrumental performances have created so marked a sensa-
tion in the principal cities and towns of the Continent, will
perform every Evening at Nine and Eleven o'clock.
