Bunnee Bridge. Otly four more guns taken, but many

LUCKNOW.
The force under Generic Havelock, skirting the city,
forced their way to the Residency against strong oppo-
sition, and relieve the brave garrison on the evening of
the 25th. The relief was providentially just in time,
as subsequent examination showed that two miles all
ready for loading bad run far under our chief works,
which, if sprung, must have placed the garrison at the
mercy of the rebels. On the 26th the batteries of the
beslegers were assaulted and taken, and the ex-King's
sons fled towards Fvzsbad.
The loss has been heavy. The brave and determined
General Neill is, alas, killed ; also Cowper, of Artillery ;
Webster, 78th Foot ; Packenham, 84th ; Bateman,
64th; and Warren, 12th Light Cavalry. The enemy
are deserting the city by thousands.

(API. J. W. HENRY.
FROM MB. S. CHAPMAN, IST ASSISTANT MAGISTRATE OP
AHMEDNUGGER, TO THE POLITICAL .SECRETARY TO
GOVERNMENT, BOMBAY.

Nasaick, Oct.
Sir,—l have the honour to forward the acCOinP 6:
z
statements regarding the affair which took placetee-hyin
the day
before yesterday with the Bheels at Nandoor, and in
which Lieut. Henry, the Superintendent of Police, was
unfortunately killed while charging at the head of his
men.
2. From the accompanying statements I tLink it is
elear that, while every credit is due to the memory of
the late Lieut. Henry for the gallant and determined
way in which he leo the attack, yet the attack itself
was, owing to the enormous superiority of the Bheels in
point of numbers and their strong position, a very ill-
