troops aro now more collected, and under better
control. They get their rations cooked on the spot,
and they are being reinforced by recovered men
from the hospital. The 52d were reinforced by 25
men to day.
The enemy's force in Ki3hengunge made a recon-
noissance of the right flank of our men yesterday,
to ascertain apparently the strength left to defend
the camp., Finding the piequet posts all occupied,
they retreated, and the camp has remained unmo-
lested. It is said they are now evacuating Kishen:
gunge. It is impossible to get information from
the city. The enemy's cavalry cut off communica-
tion outside to the right, and no messenger can
penetrate from the side in our posses-ion. It is
believed the troops are deserting the city, but the
Palace is still strongly occupied.
We all look on the complete occupation of the
city and palace as a certainty.
The following details are from another letter of
the same date :
We are now inside the walls pounding away at
Saleytughur and interior defences. There is a good
deal of musketry fire going on from houses and the
tops of the houses, and now and then a round shot
and shrapnel play among our devoted infantry,
'who, aided by the Artillery, are working their way
solidly on to the occupation of the vast city. We
hold now all on our side the canal, except the
Lahore Gate, which will probably fall in the course
f the day.
The magazine was taken this morning with a
dash and cheer, the latter of which carried such
terror to the hearts of the Pandies that they
dropped their lighted potfires, leaving their loaded
guns an easy prey to us ; 125 guns, besides a vast
amount of ammunition, fell into our hands.
In the assault " the Engineers suffered much.
Out of the party of three that applied the powder
bags to the Cashmere one officer only escaped,
badly wounded. The enemy had loop-holed the
door, and the sergeant had only time to fire the
bag and say " I have lighted it," when he was shot
dead.

wounded on the 14th, though he fears it may not
be quite complete :

cuated. 1. The enemy left four heavy guns and mor-
tars, which are being brought into camp.

pproached with three sergeants under a
trernendoes lire of musketry . He was first shot
through the arm; notwithstanding that. he went on
tO the gate with the bags of powder ; as they ap-
proached one sergeant was killed ; the second ser-
geant took up the bags, assisting Lieutenant Sal-
keld, knocked them on to tho spikes of the gate,
not being able to put them underneath, as the
wicket gate was opened, and about 20 muskets
pointed up as well as through many holes in the
gateway firing from both flanks from the wall. As
Lieutenant Salkeld put on the bags he was shot
through the leg, and fell ; the second sergeant lit
the match, but after lighting it he said to Lieut.
Salkeld en the ground. I fear the match bas not
taken light, Sir ; at the word Sir,' hs fell dead
riddled with balls ; the match did ignite, blew open
the gate - the third sergeant escaped unhurt. At
the signal the troops rushed on—every one who car-
ried the scaling ladders of the 2d Fusileers was
knocked over ; however, they rushed on, put up
the ladders (many of which were found to be too
short), changing their positions, got on the walls,
cheered, and rushed down upon the enemy and car-
ried the place. On they went along the walls
taking the Mores Bastion, Ajmei e gate, the other
column taking the Church Battery, Water Battery,
Treasury Compound, and Skinner's-house.

THE RELIEF OF LIICKN OW.
(From the Bombay Gazette of 11th of October,)
Lucknow was relieved on the 25th ultimo, and
only just in time, as it was found thet the enemy
bad run two mines far under the defences, which,
if exploded, would have left the garrison at the
mercy of its savage besiegers. Its defenders had,
moreover, been closely pressed by the enemy, who
doubtless saw his time running short, and had
only repulsed a final and most desperate assault by
the desperate expedient of throwing lighted shells
with their hands into the masses of their as-
sailants. The advance to Lucknow and the
raising of the siege appear to have cost us
about 400 men killed and wounded, as well
as several officers slain, foremost among whom we
have to lament the brave Neill, of Madras, whose
valour and energy had made him the centre of so
many hopes. We have yet but vague and imperfect
accounts from Lucknow, and are waiting further
particulars with great anxiety. There is a report,
strongly requiring confirmation, which we trust it
may not receive, that the place is again besieged,
our force having been surrounded by Nana Sahib
with 50,000 Men. It has, on the other hand, been
stated that the arch-ruffian of Bi.hoor has been las•
frayed by one of his own followers and is now a
captive, but this report also needs confirmation.

and drove him from his position, with the loss of

The enemy suffered severely; about 120 were
