NO MORE PILLS NOR ANY OTHER MEDICINE

the East of Oct. 1.)
We are glad to be able to present our readers with
the first authentic narrative which has been received
in this country of the events at Cawnpore imme-
diately preceding the massacre of the garrison. This
painful but singularly interesting document is thus
described by the officer from whom it was received :
" I am enabled to send you a translation made by
myself of about one-half of a native journal kept at
Cawnpore during the siege. It is, am afraid, in-
correct in some particulars, but it is in the main a
true translation. It was written so badly that the
natives could not read some of the words, and, I
was obliged to omit them to make the translation
readable without them. The names of the Euro-
pean merchants cannot be identified, but I have
translated them as well as I could :—"
" For some time back there was a report in Cam"
pore that the Government would serve out to their army
cat tridges which had been prepared in the bladders of
pigs and bullocks (instead of paper, and that, these cart-
ridges had atrived, or were expected shortly, from Eng-
land. On this account the minds of the Sepoys, both
Hindoo and Mussulman, having become estranged from
their allegiance to Government, they formed plans for
the destruction of the Christians. When the Govern-
ment officers perceived that the Sepoys disobeyed seve-
ral orders, the collector, Sahib Bahadoor, having taken
several elephants belonging to Nana Dhoondu Pant,
son of Bajee Rao Peishwa, deceased, went to the trea-
sury for the purpose of weighing out the treasure. At
that time the Sepoys guarding the treasure said—' We
will not let you take away the treasure ;' and although
the collecto tried his utmost to load the treasure on the
elephants the Sepoys would not let him take it away.
The collector then said, 'lf this is your intention, nett
Monday guards of European soldiers shall be sent to the
magazine and treasury.' On hearing this the Sepoys and
havildar and jemadar unanimously answered, This shall
not be as long as we are alive, because in these two
posts a gaard of European soldiers never was and never
shall be placed; and, moreover, it the magazine or
treasure should go on command we will accompany it.'
"The collector then went away, and when the gentle-
men of the station saw that the whole of the troops were
acting in oppte-ition to orders and had become mutinous,
they sent for 300 or 400 cavalry and infantry, belonging
to Nana aforesaid, from Bithoor, for their protection and
assistance, and placed them near the magazine; and the
Nana himself, with joined hands, told the judge, collec-
tor, and general, and other high officers, in whose
attendance ho remained, that he would assist the
Government to the greatest extent of his power,
but at the time of the death of Bajee Rao Peish-
wa, which happened about three years ago, a por-
tien of the Peishwa's pension (one lac and 25,000
rupees per annum) to the amount of 62,000 rupees was
due, and the Government confiscated the whole of it ;
and although his son Dhoondu aforesaid solicited that a
part of that pension should be continued to him, yet the
Government officers answered him, We are the heirs of
Bajee Rao Peishwa, you will not get a fraction.' Several
of the officers appeared in a new light, and from that
identical Dhoondu Nana solicited the assistance of his
troops, forgetting the enmity of his heart. The officers,
civil and military, when they perceived that the Sepoys
had become unmanageable, and that tbere were daily
Commotions among them, commenced digging a ditch
and making intrenchments around the new hospital
which had been built for the sick of three infantry and
one cavalry regiments; and for the preparation of this

inconvenience, or ekpense, as it saves fifty times its cost in other
remedies. It Is, moreover, the best food for infants and invalids
generally, as it never turns acid on the weakest stomach, nor inter-
feres with a good liberal diet, but imparts a healthy relish for lunch
and dinner, and restores the faculty of digestion, and nervous and
muscular energy to the most enfeebled.

" On Sunday, the 7th June, the firing was commenced
according to custom, on all sides, and about one troop
of the 2d Cavalry having entered the Gwat Tole, com-
mitted a great deal of oppression upon the inhabitants ;
and they seized Darogha Asim Ales Khan of Lucknow,
who for several years had been erecting houses near the
residence of the sous of Aga Meer, and told him, You
have brought away plenty of money from the Lucknow
people by deceit, give us a la. of rupees ;' and some oue
said that certain Europeans and women were hidden in
his house. On this, without further inquiry, a gun loaded
with grape wars fired into his house, and two or three
of his servants were killed. At last they took the
Darogha prisoner into their camp, and wished to tie him
to a loaded gun in the presence of the Nana, but the
Nana let him go on the payment of 1,000 r., and sent him
to collect ammunition in the battery on hundreds of
bullocks and elephants, and carts and doolies, &c., and
whatever he could lay his bands upon. The burning of
the officers' bungalows now commenced, and the burnt
laungabws became, as it were, a black line, and when-
ever an Englishman or European soldier or woman or
child were found they were put to death.
"On the Bth of June the firing commenced on all
sides as usual, and one lady and child, Christian, were
seized and brought before the Nana. Afterwards, ac-
cording to order, they were killed, notwithstanding that
they represented they were faultless, and if it would
please the rebels they might Slake them Mussulmans, if
they would but save their lives ; but to do so did not
come into the hearts of their executioners ; and in the
city and gardens there was so much villainy committed
that travelling became dangerous, and to kill a man was
quite easy, and each landowner entertained 50 or 100
followers, and committed deeds of oppression and plun•
dered each other. Some forcibly cut the grain out of the
fields, and others were occupied in picking up plundered
property which had been thrown down, and hundreds of
as many Sepoys as plundered money from
Rejpoots were posted on the roads, robbing the travel-
lersth: ;

10,000 r.; Marshall, 4,000 r.; Rirke, 50,000 r.; and many
gentlemen, merchants, escaped into the entrenched camp
with their money, and many other merchants thought
that the troops would not offer them any molestation, kr
if the Government became Hindostanee they would open
their shops and sell their property ; but the Sepoys did

"From time to time I walked along the ramparts,
talking to the Sepoys and encouraging them to hold out'
I explained to many of them the high reward (viz., 6,000
rupees to each native officer, 300 rupees to each non-
commissioned officer, and 100 rupees to each Sepoy), that
Capt. Lloyd, Superintendent of Neemuch, had guaranteed
to every individual among them who assisted in protect-
ing the treasure and fort and that if they behaved well
and remained 'true to their salt' the Government would
certainly reward them handsomely. Several of the men
assured me they would die rather than surrender ; others
said, they would hold out against infantry and cavalry,
but if artillery attacked them they should be obliged to
give in. I toll them the artillery had nothing but grape.
shot, and that could not possibly injure the fort or them
either. It was a magnificent but lamentable sight that
presented itself to our view as we stood for nearly three
hours on the ramparts expecting an attack every mo-
ment. Upwards of 40 bungalows and innumerable hay-
stacks were blazing away before us, the flames shooting
high up in the air, aril brightening the whale canton-
ment and fort, and throwing a lurid glare round the
country for miles. As we stood watching the conligra.
tion and the de3truction of our property, uncertain also
as to the fate of our gallant friends in other regiments,
oh I how we wished fora few hundred of our own island
countrymen that we might have sallied out and inflicted
on the traitors a jest and terrible retribution.
"About a quarter to 3 a.m, four men of the Grenadier
company came up to me and said, Doet 1r Sahib, it is
no use holding out any longer; we are not now under
the orders of the Major, we are commanded by Prithee
Singh, Subadar of the Grenadier' company. If you
don't believe us,' they continued, come and see for
yourself.' I went with them to the left rear bastion,
where I found a large body of the regiment (at least 150‘
and Pirthee Singh at their head. One of the Sepoys said
to him, The Doctor Sahib has come.' He had just
then been addressing some of the men, and turning
round to me said, You had better all leave the fort be-
fore it be too late.' Another Sepoy, standing close by,
said aloud, We are now under Pirthee Singh's orders.'
I went back to report the circumstance to Captain
M'Donald, but meeting Lieut. Rose (second in command)
I reported it to him. He said "it was a bad business,
and he would go at once and tell M'Donald.' A few
minutes after the Artillery commenced firing again, and
hearing a row at the gate I hastened down, and found
that the party under Lieuts. Gordon and Davenport had
mutinied and were forcing their way through the gate.
Capt. M'Donald, Lieuts. Rose, Gordon, Davenport, and
allnd
myself, with Sergeants Nesbitt and Lane, tried al
we could to prevent their leaving, but to no purpose;

They said, ' Your lives are safe among your own men,

though we had not walked above 5 miles, yet the grona '''
being heavy we were quite tired and half dead with
thirst. We knocked up one of the villagers, an old man,
and asked him for some water. Ile immediately brought
us to a well where there was a cistern quite fall, and we
' ee both sat down and had a regular libation. I verily
believe our guide thought we would never leave off
irinking. I gave him a rupee (2s ), which pleased him
-.-, mightily, and asked him to show us the head man of the
village. This he did at once. We found him in a small
fort, surrounded by some halfalozen men. I told him
we wished to rest there for an hour or so, and asked him
if we could do so. He said, ' Most certainly,' and re.
i °aired us with great civility, had a place cleared for u
immediately in his own house, and begged we would
make ourselves comfortable. He sent for milk, chu-
pates, dalli, rice, and mangoes, and entreated us to eat.
After partaking of some refreshment we lay down and
had a nap. We were not destined, however, to remain
long at rest. About 9 a.m. a party of the let Light
Cavalry, who were scouring the country, arrived at
Kussaunda, and insisted on having ' the Sahibs out, in
order that they might saf ruro them.' (' Polish them off,
kill them.' Mar dalo Feringhee' (Kill the Europeans)
was their cry.) Dr. Gene and I would have stood no
chance against these scoundrels, and we were indebted
for our lives to the noble conduct of the Rajpoots of
the village—viz., Jadoo Ram, Oonkar Singh, Kesree
Singh, Motbee. and several others, who swore they
would stand by us to the last. They said, ' You
have eaten with us and are our guests, and now if yon
were our greatest enemy we would defend you.' They
nut us in a small dilapidated shed on one of the bas-
tions, and when the troopers demanded us declared
we were not there. After mach altercation the
troopers threatened to attack the village if we wet() not
given up. The Rajpoots warned them to be careful. They
said, ' Kussaunda belongs to the Rana (the Rana of
Odeypore). We are his subjects, and if you molest us

"About one o'clock we were agreeably surprised by
seeing an artillery sergeant (Sergeant Supple, an active
and gallant soldier) walk into our little fort ; we thought
F at first he was being pursued by the Cavalry, but he in-
formed us that he was in search of the Brigade Major.
He told us also that Captain Lloyd, Captain M`Donald,
and several officers of the 7th Gwalior Contingent, were
at the village of Darroo, only three miles off. This was
good news. He said be would gallop off and bring us
assistance, and soon we were glad to see him put his
horse out at full speed and scour across the country in
the direction of Darroo. Had I been alone, being a good
horseman, 1 would have got up behind and galloped off
with him, but as Dr. Gene was with me I preferred
remaining behind and taking my chance with him. Dr.
Gene unfortunately laboured under the twofold disad-
vantage—first, of not being able to ride ; and second,
not understanding the language.
" Hour after hour passed away, and no assistance
arriving from Darroo, we began to think that our
i friends there were in as great a fix as ourselves, and
. such we afterwards discovered was really the case.
" In consultation with our Rajpoot friends it was de-
cided that we should go on to Chute Sadree, a distance
of about 16 miles, that same night. They were afraid
that the Cavalry would be as good as their word, and
return with the guns. Accordingly we left Kussaunda
.horny after sunset, escorted by several Rajpoots, and
arrived at Chute Sadree about 10 o'clock. Our route
lay through a dense jungle, and being on foot (for my
horse was stolen by the mutineer.) we were a good
deal knocked up by the time we arrived there ; and to
our disappointment we were told that all the Euro-
peans had left an hour before for Burra Sadree, 16
miles further on. Our reception was cold iu the
extreme; they did not want us to remain there a moment
and would scarcely give us even a drink of water. I
sent two men to inform the Kutnashdar that we wanted
to see him, but they came back saying it was toe late,
he would not ace us, but advised us to hasten on after
the other Sahibs. There were lots of horses and camels
picketed about, a couple of which we scanted to hire, but
they refused to let us have them, they said they wool i
cell them to us but not hire them. Considering the state
of our finances buying was of course out of the question.
Nettling remained now but to quit this inhospitable
place, and push on for Burra Sadree ; our escort from
Kussaunda left us, and in their place we got two
laheel guides ; so, after remaining about 20 minutes
in Citota Sa free, we pushed on for the next stage ; in
about an hour and a-half we reached a small village in
the heart of the jungle, called 'Bheeliya Keagon.' Here
we received very great kindness, the Bheels seemed to
vie with each other in their hospitality ; they spoke to
us of the benefits they received under British rule and
abused the mutineers in no measured terms ; the
women were thoroughly indignant, and expressed a hope
that vengeance would speedily overtake the traitors. We
remained with the Bheels about an hour, and having pro-
cured a coupled of ponies started for Burra Sadree, which
place we reached about 9 o'clock next day, and were de.
light©d to meet all our friends of the 7th Gwalior Contin-
gent, Ist Cavalry, and Artillery.* The fate of the officers
and families of the 72d and Staff was still a mystery.
We were three days afterward delighted to hear that
Oey also had also escaped, toghether with Dr. and Mrs.
Hockin, Captain and Mrs. Laurie, and Major Burt in's
family. At Burra Sadree we parted with our Bbeel
guides, to whom we gave a few rupees, and in place of
the pony I was fortunate in getting the loan of a spare
charger, and Dr. Gene succeeded in getting a gharry.
Tne whole party started from Burnt Sadree about two
p.m. and arrived at Doongla about 7 p.m. Here we re-
mained two days, when we were joined by Captain
Showers, political agent of M-ywar, who hastened from
o.leypore with a strong force of the Rana's choicest
troops, and determined on giving chase to the mutineers
at once. Leaving, therefore, a strong guard to escort
the women and children and sick to Odeypore, Captain
Showers, accompanied by Capt. Sir John Hill, Captain

Sadree Cepa. lal 'Donald proceeded to Neemuch with a
party of Bheels, and at Chittore we were joined by Lieut.
Step eton, of the Ist Cavalry. Neenitich, in the mean-
time, had been reoccupied by Capt. Lloyd, superinten-
dent of the dAbeict.t
" We pushed on rapidly, in the best possible spirits,
at the rate of 30, 40, and even 50 miles a day, as far as
Jehazghur (or Jehazpore), bordering on the territories of
the Jeypore Rajah, where we hoped to fall with 200 of
the 83d Regiment and some Horse Artillery (Europeans).
To our disappointm twe found they could not be spared
et
from Nusseerabad. , were at this time within an easy
4 march of the mutin and I firmly believe if we had
had 200 of 83d and ew 9 pounders we should have
smashed them all to pieces, captured their guns, and
scattered them all over the country. The fact was the
mutineers rushed from Neemuch in the greatest haste
possible, a report having got among them that the 'gore
log' (Europeans.) were close at hand, and the appearance
at this juncture of a very small European force would
have accomplished their destruction. To our extreme
mortification we had to return to Neemuch without have
ing struck a single blow.
" At Jehazghur we rescued 3 European women, 6
children, and 1 sergeant, Mrs. Reid and 2 children,
Mrs. Coar and 4 children, Mrs. Roberts, and Sergeant
M'Carthy, who were flying for their lives from Deolee,
the head-quarters of the Kotah contingent, the station
having been plundered and burnt by the Neemuch muti-
neers. Poor Mrs. Coar's husband has since been shot by
a mutineer, and she, in common with hundreds of others,
has been left perfectly destitute.
" Numerous were the hairbreadth escapes at Neemuch,
and, considering the character of the outbreak, it was
providential that many lives were not lost. One Euro-
pean woman (the wife of the sergeant above alluded to),
and 3 children were unfortunately butchered at the come
rnencement of the mutiny. The sergeant was on duty
over the guns, and it appears had no opportunity of de-
fending his family. Happily no other lives were lost.
" The Mahomedans throughout were most cruel, fero-
cious, and bloodthirsty; those of the artillery and cavalry
were the worst of the let. Excited with bhang or ' hemp'
they galloped about like fiends, intent only on bloodshed
and murder.
"A Mahomedan Subadar of the 72d Native Infantry
persuaded the colonel and officers of the regiment, with
their families, to take shelter in his house ; they were no
sooner in than be fastened the door upon them outside,
and sent for the guns. Fortunately a Hindoo Sepoy
who remained ' true to his salt' broke open the door, and
warned the officers of their danger in time to enable them
to escape.
" The Quartermaster-Sergeant's wife of the 7th Gwalior
Contingent was attacked by some Mahomedans, and
would have been killed but for some Hindoo Sepoys who
came to the rescue and escorted her in safety to a
village some miles out of the station. She afterwards
joined her husband, and proceeded with the rest of the
party to Odeypore.
"The conduct of the Odeypore Durbar at this crisis
was beyond all praise. The
entered heart and soul into our cause ; indeed, had it
not Bane appears to have
been for his loyalty to the British Goiernnaent and
co-operation with the authorities there is no saying what
might been the aspect of affairs in Rajpootana at th
present moment."
The following is from a gentleman in th© Bengal
Civil Service :

second-class ose), only left Ferozepore on the 10th,
and cannot be at Delhi before Sept. God grant that
somehow or other we may finish the place without being
prostrated by the sickly season ; that is still our great
danger. Bat the army has been blessed with wonderful
health ; there is still very little sickness, and, with abun-
dant supplies, tolerable comforts, and constitutions appa-
rently inured to heat our men do not complain. We
have heard nothing of Gen. Havelock or Sir P. Grant
since the former marched for Lucknow, but our hope is
that they must now be now advancing from Cawnpore.
If, as has been proposed, a Punjab or Ghoorka regiment
be sent to Meerut, I believe that there will be no diffi-
culty in making an end of Vice-King Waleedad of
Boolandhaha and recovering the Daab. If we can clear
It from this side while the Europeans advance from be-
low we shall be decidedly in an improved position—the
Delhi mutiny will be insulated, our communications will
be opened, and we shall again have a small North-West*
government of our own instead of acting in an enemy's
country. _ . .

Here and throughout the Punjab things are wonder-
fully quiet, and the destruction of the last regiments
which ventured to mutiny has been complete and effect-
ive, although, in the case of the last disarmed regiment,
recourse was had to severities which would frighten quiet
Bognehmen. Nothing in the whole history of the mu-
tiny is more remarkable than the strange flight of the
26th Native Infantry, rot to Delhi ; they did not even
take that direction, but, unarmed and apparently with-
out hope or plan, into the centre of a hostile country,
where, at 20r. per head, they were killed like so many rats.
"The hostility of the Punjabees to Poorbeas (Hindoos)
deal not necessarily imply loyalty to us ; but as yet they
have certainly been with us, and have been doing us ex-
tremely good service. It will be strange indeed if, with
the recentlyconcinerel Punjab, we reconquer Hindostan.
The policy followed is to trust and indulge the Sikhs.
Hindostanees are ejected from all office, and everything
is given to Panjabees. It is trusted they will thus be sa-
titfled with so many loaves, will not think of independ-
ence, and hereafter form a trustworthy army. The only
difficulty in the Punjab is money. All civil employes
and all military servants upon whom the experiment can
be safely tried are to be kept six months in arrears of
pay. In truth we are attempting to reconquer India
with the resources of the Punjab, a task to which it is
not equal ; and that money has not been raised on any
terms and sent up from Bombay is another instance of
want of appreciation of the crisis from which very dan-
gerous consequences may follow.
" As regards the North-West Provinces, I trust you
will hear more from below of districts regained than we
yet know. Rohilcund and all the country below Meerut
are still as much strange enemy's countries as ever were
the steppes of Russia. But we believe that as soon as
we have available forces there will be little popular
opposition. So we do now hope that the work of re-
organisation will soon commence. It is certain that
the whole Agra Government must be made Non-Regu-
lation and governed somewhat upon Puojab prin.
oiplee, for some years at least. It is like a country
over which a deluge has passed. All our old land-
marks and institutions are completely washed away, and
We shall commence upon a tabula rasa. There will be
every opportunity for the formation of a model adminis-
tration and the clearing away of the vast Regulation net-
work will greatly facilitate the gradual introduction of
new codes and systems. There will be very much to be
done, and, to supply the place of the massacred and the
incompetent, Government must speedily prepare a large
reinforcement Of civil servants. In justice to the army,
the system of recruiting the civil ranks from it must be
wholly put an end te. Men may now be transferred for
good to the other service, but for the future there must
be nothing of the kind,
"To remodel the army is a task still more difficult and
more pressing. We must have many native troops, and
the financial difficulties will be hard enough without the
aggravation of paying the vast number of unemployed
officers of the Indian army, in addition to another set of
officers with European troops sent from England. My
own impression is, that in future the normal' employ-
ment of all our officers must be with European troops, or
with a few regiments of natives who submit to a thorough
European discipline, and are as filly officered, drilled,
and looked after as Europeans, and that all other native
regiments must be commanded by selected men and
effective naive officers. If this be so, the sootier the ha
ter some amalgamation of the Queen's and Company's
armies is arranged, and the Company's officers set to do
duty with European regiments arid learn Europea❑ dis-
cipline. So much in the meantime, in the first hope that
the tide is turning. It will be time enough to go into
more details when the waters have somewhat receded
and the land begins to appear.
" P.S. General Wileon does well at Delhi, but it is
feared that his health is failing. We twist, indeed, trust
that be will hold out, for there is not another man to
command, literal), not one."

TRIAL TRIPS OF THE TYNE AND GRENADA STEAM-
SHIPS.—SOUTHAMPTON, Thursday. —T wo trial trips hae,
taken place to-day which excited great interest in
shipping circles. The Royal Mail Company's steamship
Tyne, which it will be remembered was stranded on
Kimmeridge Ledge, near Sr. Alban Head, last winter,
and lay therefor a couple of months, but was eventually
got off, has since been thoroughly restored to her former
condition under the skilful supervision of Captain
Vincent (the company's superintendent) and Mr. R.
Ritchie (their superintending, engineer), and is about to
resume her station between S mthampt -in and the
Brazil,. At the measured mile, in Stokes Bay, she
made four runs, with the following results :—Average
speed 13i knots ; revolutions, 21a ; pressure of steam,
201 b ; draught of water forward, 14ft. 4in, ; aft, 14ft.
&in ; 300 tons of coals on board. Among the company
present were Captain Liott (the chairman of the Board
Of Management), Captain Vincent, Lieutenant O'Reilly
(Deputy Admiralty Superintendent of Mail Packets),
Captain &rat, Mr. Ritchie, &I. Tbe Grenada,
a new screw steamship recently built and fitted at
Messrs. Summer's yard at Northam for the Penin-
sular and Oriental Company, was also tested at the
measured niil-, the results being as under : —Draught
forward, 10 f'. 5 in. ; ditto, aft, 12 ft. 2 in. ; mean
draught, 11 ft. 3 in. ; nominal horse power, 160 ; horse
power indicated, 695'8 ; revolutions of eagiees per
inch, •
minute, 65 ; pressure per square 181 b. ; vacuum,
26 inches ; average speed of four runs, 11 741 knots.
There was an abundance of steam, and the engines
worked admirably. The Grenada is fitted with Llinb
and Sunamere's patent boilers and inverted cylinders
direct. Mr. De Salis (one of the directors), Captain
Engledue (the company's superintendent at this port),
Captain Ramsay (admiralty Superintendent of Ma 1
Packets), Mr A. Lamb, Mr. W. Summers, and several
other scientific gentlemen, were on board. Everything
connected with the working of both vessels was of the
most satislactery character. Messrs. Hughes and Luke
(Admiral Surveyors), and Messrs. Rubie and Murray
(Surveyors to the Board of Trade), were present at each
trial, the two ships keeping in company, and those gen.'
tlamen leaving one vessel for the other as they respec-
tively passed the ordeal of the measured mile.
