he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful eon-
"lluences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
"°ol, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
cliier class oftlisease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
I,eir phys cal condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
e hea'th, happineca, and privileges to wi.ich every human being is
entitled.
It absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
tlinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with-
, lit incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc-
ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
ay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness lofty be removed,
Mid how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of ph) sic il infirmity or functional
Cerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

named Quentin, of the Faubourg Montmartre, com-
mitted suicide in the same way, the former from disap-
pointment in love, and the latter because ht r husband,

the second of a man named Goubert, as he was
passing along the Faubourg du Temple ; and the third
of a man named Lambert, in the Rue de Biovre, as he
was locking his door ; all three deaths were caused by
apoplexy.

ADVENTURES OF EUROPEAN.FUGITIVES
, FROM AUGUR.
(From the Bombay Times, July 30.)
The following narrative of the escape of the Ete;
ropeans from Augur, where a portion of the Gwa-
lior Contingent mutinied, and which has been
kindly placed at our disposal for publication, will
be found deeply interesting. It is written by a
Bombay medical officer, who was attached to the
Gwalior Contingent
" Hoosh u it ga bad, July 10.—Lit le did I think,
my dear Colonel, when writing to you on the 3d,
to the effect that the aspect of affairs throughout
Central India had been looking brighter during trie
last ten days, and that the tide of rebellion, which
for some time past had been ruthlessly rolling over
it, seemed to have reached its ebb, that four-and-
twenty hours should find us fugitives from a muti-
nous soldiery, who but a few hours ago evinced every
symptom of loyalty and content. The sth Regiment
Gwalior Contingent, stationed at Augur, had day
by day been 'strengthening the impression in the
!ninth of its officers, that it would stand true and
resist all pressure from without. Hourly intercours•
with both men and sidats, even up to the night
previous.to their mutinying, forbade the slightest
suspicion of their loyalty. Their respect and obeL.
dienee to their officers was as usual. All freely eit-
ireese I disgust at the craven conduct of their brother
Sepoyi, and utter contempt for all or any who had
airoved uutrue to theirsalta. They were not ignorant
of the scenes being enacted around them, nor did
they evince the least sympathy with the murmur-
haut's of the few malcontents in the corps, two of whom
had been summ tray dismissed. For some days all
parade duties had been excuse I to enable the men
to repair_ and, rebuild their huts, and -the eagerness
with which they busied themselves in the work was
iq itself enough to dismiss from the minds of all the
thought that the next morning might find them in
open mutiny. Thera are three circumstances to the
combination of which Cis sudden and unexpected
revolt may be fairly attributed—the arrival of the
officers of the late 34 Regiment Gwalior Contingent
and commandant of Artillery from Seepree, where
all had revolted ; news of the insurrection at In-
dore and Mhow, in which Holkar's men had joined;
and lastly, the refusal of , the Soubah to advance
the pay for the regiment, as he had done the previ-
onimouth, upon the receipt of the officer command-
ing. The latter was enough to shake the confidence
of the men, though not a murmur escaped them.
The best spirit seemed to pervade all ranks up to
the morning of the. 4th, when at dawn the night
guards over the officers' bungalows withdrew to the
lines, with the usual order and regularity. About
half-past 5 o'clock the orderlies of Capt. Carter, the
officer commanding, came running to the door and
reported that there was a good deal of excitement,
and running to and fie in the lines. Capt. Carter
instantly dressed and called to the Adjutant, Lieut.
O'Dowda, to accompany him to the lines as quickly
as possible ; but his horse being ready at the door,
and Capt. Carter's still unsaddled in the stable,
O'Dowda rode down first and was shot the moment
he entered. Whilst Capt. Carter's horse was being
got ready, the orderlies reported that a large body
of cavalry and infantry were approaching the parade
ground, and supposing such to be the case he, Capt.
Carter, galloped over to Capt. Le Marchaud's
home to beg that he would take charge of the two
guns of the Mehidpore Contingent, then in position at
the quarter-guard. Having given his orders to
him, he continued his way at a gallop towards the
lines, and met Quartermaster-Sergeant Miller with
a musket on his shoulder, from whom he learned,
for the first time, the truth, that the regiment was
in open mutiny, and had warned him away. Still
he pressed on till stopped by four Sepoys, who with
raised hands entreated him to return or he would
be shot. As a good deal of firing was then taking
place, attempting any interference seemed not only
useless but unwise ; he therefore returned to the
bungalow, and we devoted the few remaining mi-
nutes that intervened before leaving cantonments;
to arranging for the safety of the ladies and chil-
dren. Having a double-seatel curricle with fast
horses, I, through God's goodness, had the satisfac-
faction of rescuing Mrs. Burlton and Mrs. Harri-
son of the 2.1 Cavalry, whose husbands were ab-
sent, and each of whom had au infant in her arms.
Wh le yoking the curricle, my servants threw in a
few blankets and some edoing, which with our
heea was all that remained to U 3. The other ladies
effected their escape in a cart, excepting Mrs.
James, of whose fate we have no positive informa-
tion. Both she and her husband had mounted
their horses for their morning's ride, and while
moving away from the house, Dr. James (who offi-
ciated fur me during my absence in Bombay) was
shot down by some Sepoys of the realeguard. The
horse which Mrs. James rode took fright, threw
her, and screams for help were he trd, but only re-
ported when it was impossible to render her any
assistance. It is generally supposed that this un-
fortunate lady was also slain, but no certainty as to
her fate exists. Of the European non-commissioned
officers at Augur (two of the sth Regt. and one of
the Meliidpore Artillery), wilt their families, no-
thing is known ; but reposing
as we did perfect con-
fidence in the fidelity of our men, there is every
reason to apprehend that they too have beat slain.
Twelve minutes from the commencement of the dis-
turbances, and the little band of fugitives was wend-
ing its way towards the jungles, with nothing
but the clothes that covered them • some in their
night dresseeas t hey rose frotn their beds, barefooted
and barelegged, uncertain in what direction t) pro-
ceed, unatanded by servants and .without food,
and looking back upon the neat houses which con-
t tined their all only to see them in flames. We
passed through the village of Renur to a town called
Mundoda, within four miles of eSalungpore. At
Aluncloda we halted for the night, and were joined
by two European overseers and their families, who
had leen compelled to fly from their work upon
the roads between Indore and Patchore. Our party
now consisted of Captain Carter, commanding late
sth Regt. G. C. aud.st aloe of Augur; Capt. M‘Do u-
gall, second in command' do. ; Major Macpherson,
commanding late 3d Regt. G. C. at Sceoree ; Captain
Ryall, second in command do. ; Dr. Sillijant, sur-
sse on, do. ; Capt. Le Marchand, late 3d Battalion
Artillery ; Mrs. Burlton and child, Mrs. Harrison
and three childien, Mrs. Le Marchand and four
children, Mrs. Heyman, Miss Heyman, Mesa's.
Wafs and Wackfield, European overscars, with
their families, and myself. About midway between
Augur and dundoda we were met by two mounted
men, Ram Row, moonshce, and Oonkar Sing, chu-
prAssee, who, after some interrogation, we learned
were spies in the service of Major Rickards, the
Resident at Bhopal ; they reccenmended our pro-
ceeding into the Begurnha territory, and offered t ),
escort us to Sehore. At Mundoda we felt the first
foretaste of that dire misery which our band was
doomed to experience. Every villager was uncivil,
and the smile of respectful submission with which
the European officer was wont to be gree e 1, was
displa •e I by an angry scowl and haughty air to-
w:irds t!:e despicable Feringhee, whose raj was at
au end. No house to shelter us, and a litt!e milk
and chowpatty to appease the hungry cries of the
poor children were procured in scanty quantity and
with the utmost difficulty. From this place we
directed our course, via Sarungpore, to a place
called Lutrawud, some 30 miles distant, but two
serious obstacles intervened, i e., the Kala Siud
river and the trunk road. We were now but four
miles distant from the city of Sarungpore, which
was Oren sail to be in the hands of plunderers,
End that a regiment of cavalry from Mhow, with
seven Europeau officers, had halted there ; every
inch of the road, moreover, was said to be in-
fested with gangs of marauders, from whom escape
was unlikely did we attempt to cross its It now
became necessary to alter our route so as to avoid
that city and that portion of the read contiguous
to it. We crawled ,along through lanes and
pbye-
paths, making about a mile an hour on our way to-
wald; the friendly (?) Rajah of Lurrawu I, and had

were waiting for us. This was not calculated to
rase the hearts of men in our condition. Our an-
xiety w is not for ourselves, we were well armed and
could fight our way, but for the helpless ladies and
oh ldren whose protectors we were. The few men
who first carne from the village were quickly fol
lowed by thousands, every man with a menses in
his look. Through Ram Row, we endeavoured to
preeure by bribary safe conduct through the village,
and this, he said, the headman could give. The
conditions were agreed upon, but still the chief
hesitated to procet d. Fe wring treachery, the moon-
shee took him aside and swore him to be true to
his trust, yet even this was insufficient to reassure
us, and the timid 1 oks and wavering manner of
Rain Row :is'd us too plainly that we had but little
to hope for. The proportions of the crowd con-
tinued to swell, a restless buzz as of a hornet's nest
went though it, the ,headman bad withdrawn, and
so had the moonshee ; the mob was gradually clos-
ing in upon us ; we formed up closely upon open
ground round our charge, every finger on a trigger
awaiting the attack. About this period we learned

nanits ea tnese scoundrels wiU app
ger in which we 'steed. Night was now at hand,
and to remain in our present posit!on was to en-
counter to a certainty an attack from thousands
under cover of its daeknese ' It was agreed that a e
should move on, and committing ourselves to t e
protection . and guidance of Providence arid doubli g

oar rear guard, we silently advanced towards t e
village ftorn which the onslaught was expecte .
Findingthat the Sondeas did not hang a pon-onr re r
we were enabled to sl:ow a considerable front on t -
tering the village by decreasing the strength of o r
roar guard. The word was passed for all to e
silent, and so we proceeded ; but what with do s
barking, lighted lionsesteand neighing horses, our
expectations of successful pa"saee were bat frail.
We passed the chowkie, and sew bat one man HO,
enter his house, doub•fess to arm,-and resume I).s
posits.n ; but there was no eheillenge. We h. d
reached the outskirts of the v Rage in safety, a I d
were venturing to congratulate each other in a
whisper, -when through the unpardonable clum- i-
neer of one of our party, hjs gun went off-,- spre.a l-
ing dismay atnone us all. At three O'clock ..on t e
morning of the 6th We reached- Lerrawnel, a d
after submitting to the usual-Ceremony- of an hou 's
detention, were permitted. to enter the d
" gurree" or fort in whiCh the Rajah redid: 1.
Everything in and about it bore the' semblance of
squalid poverty, and gave poor proinise of comfort
or protection. The -epace ellottedeus west: ' • t
habit deice and it was-5 a getl wise to-occupy ash • d
oatside the walls. In- this' we hacFhardly settl d
ourselves, when a man from the bastion 'shout •d
out, " Cavalry, cavalry." A rush inside was f
course the result ; the alarm was a false one, b it
it was not disregarded, for-it had its meaning. ,A
few putrid mango's were offered us as fold; and
while waiting far forage for our jaded horses, we
learned that our host rejoiced in the allowance f
two rupees a day whereon to support the dignity
of his station. He and his- people were at fiest
accessible and civil; but in a few hours the dome
our of all became totally change 1, and every assi t-
ance was denied us. We head all looked forwa d
with much hope and confidence; to the Rajah f
Larrawud, and the depeh of the disappointineut e
experienced on his refusing to aid- us, even- to t e
extent of procuring a guide, may be- easily- i' -
gine] ; and to complete our desp sir, the inoonsh e
Ram Rom, and the chuprassea Ounkat Sing, refuse d
to accompany us any further, stating that they we e
to remain by order of the Raj all. To tarry a y
longer in such a hotbed of vagabonds was imprude t,
and preparations 0 resume our journey were i -
mediately made. It was now about -four in t e
afernoen • we had travelled far and wore witho t
feted ; and the cries of the hungry children were heel t-
rending. As our preparations for a start progressed,
armed inn poured in from every side, and lined tt e"
fort walls under which our road lay. The aspect of
affairs at this crisis seemed to render escape Ha-
possible, yet we advanced, in the opinion of in t
of us, to certain den hbeneati the crowded wa 1.
To our intense surprise, not a shot was, fired, no a
word spoken by our supposed essailants, who stn d
in hundreds on the walls aboVe our heads. As e
i
descended across the river and ravine -where t e
soware wore seen to halt, shouting commenced, and
numbers Legan to run towards the hill in adva4e
of us, apparently with the intention Of -oceupying
it. While in the nullah we were joined by a men
who offered his services as a guide. This inspired
us with fresh hope and weenoved on, several of us
filing off through the jungle V? meet the horsemen.
We continued our course unmolested, though every
man among us looke 1 on death as certain and ins-
mediate, and to the goodness of God alone was obr
preservaton due. A. little further on and a fre h
disa ter °vertex k us ; one of the carts was upset, o
the im,ninent danger of all in i', aud, though n t
more than aenile from Larrawud, the pe eple fro
alt adjoining village lent us ready assistance, t e
Patell himself volunteering to escort us across t e
Kale Sind . His ptomise was faithfully fulfilled, a d
he reeoived the reward he merited. Our guid ,
hitherto looked upon with much suspicion, g -
dually regained our c infidence, and this we testifi d
by advancing him a portion of his promised pa ;
still it, was tuought necessary to guard him closet ,
and this duty wet iuk in turn. About midnight e
/
lost our way, and our weary catele were for seve 1
hours obliged to labour over ploughed fields f
heavy black soil, t 11 at length we reached a villa e
in which it was judgel prudent to make inquir s
for the road to Inetetic. Here we were tired epo 1,,
and were obliged to proceed, ignorant as to wheth r
we were taking the right -direction or not. A a
Chutnar village, some miles further on, we die -
vered our position, and were joined by a man w o
painted out the road to Inchede, which we reach d
weary and hungry on the morning of the 7th, t
daylight. This was the first village of Bhopal -
gum, who . we knew s ill conflated the staun 11
ally of our Government, and we all grateful
hailed it as a place of rest and safety. , Abo t
a quarter of a rude outside the town we halt d
under a tamarind tree, Mil were we:tot' . on
the Komashelar, from whom we obtained •
your dele ace ores of the state of affairs at Seho ,
whiller it was our desire to proceed. Through 1 .F.
ageirey we obtained some milk for the half-fatnishicl
children, aud the pi °raise of his good offices to f r
ward a chit to the Resident at Sehore. He moreov r
off) red us shelter in the town, bat which on bei g
examined was found s ) utte ly filthy and ina e-
quate to accommodate us teat we determined n
retraining under the friendly shelter of the big tr ,
re
1
where he propo:ed seeding ussotne provisions. So n
after our arrival a fearful storm of rain and thune r
set in, compelling us to seek refuge in the town, r
in ten minutes from ies commencement the spot e
occuoied became a swain!), and everything we p
,s-
-sessed was 1 terally afloat A de -p eullah separat el
us from Inchode and it had now become swell n
into a torrent. No Lineal :ee could possibly exame-
t
rate time-misery we exp rienced here. All were c -
liged to force the rapid at the risk of their lives, and
some were to be seen with eaildren upon their heals
in water to the neck. Still. the rain continued to
pour down inceesantly. Each looked upon the o-her
and deplored his miserable fate, as we sat 27 scouts,
drenched, c Ad and hungry, huddled together chi
the damp mud floor of a Bunyah's veran.leb, some
24 feet long by 8 broad. There was not an inch of
dry raiment among us, until we procurel a few
coarse blanket', and a little hay on which to lie
down. Almost tiled of 1 fe under such repeated
hard-hips, we sought comfort in sleep, drenched,
hungry and coil as we were. Throughout the whole
night long the wind• 'and rain beat in upon us in
ceaseless fury, the screams of hungry children and
fighting of horses broken loose from heir pickets
rendered sleep impossible, for most of the gentle-
men were oblige! to stand by their own horses, Or
aid ire catching loose ones. Daring the Bth the rain
continued te fall heavily, wo were able to procure' a
few chowpatties and milk, but our position still coo-
tie ued extremely miserable, and the close of. the deer
found us doomed to endure another night of
wretchedness. On the 9th the weather began to
cle er up, but the Duddee-Neewud river, which was
to be crossed, still continued flooded. . We passed
the day in a state of anxious expectancy for a note
from Sehore, but none arriving we resumed our
march w.th heavy hearts about seven p.m.
Hem, too, the authoritie', who 'but the -day pre-
vious were all civility, now refused to make good
the promises they bad given us, denying U 3 even
the assistance of a coolie, and leaving us to cross
the river without either guide or guard. This was
regarded by us all as an unfavourable omen, yet
there was nothing left us but to trust in' Provi-
dence and push on, in hopes of meeting a messen-
ger from Setiore. Just before marching we found
that a report prevailed that a force from Mhow and
Indere was marching upon that station, and were
then but a couple of marcher dist int. Our posi-
titre sad enough hitherto, now became mote criti-
cal. The passage of the river was accomplished
with the utmost difficulty, occupeing us better than
two hours ; the black soil through which the road
ran was as tenacious as putty, and four miles was
all we could make until obliged to hilt in the
jungles for the night. Abut five o'clock on the
morning of the 10th,_we started for Jamnair, ano-
Veer village of the Begtun's, Captain Carter and
myself riling ou in advance to ascertain the true
state of affairs at Sehore. - Scarcely had we dis-
mounted in the main street of the town, when to
our intense joy an elephant appeared, an 1 a ohm-
pass e handed us a note from Major Rickards, tel
ling us on no account to come into Sehore, but to
proceed to Hooshungabad, sex marches further on,
, where we should find a safe retreat • this was in-
deed an oasis in the desert of our affliction. This
good man had also sent us a bountiful supply of
food and clothes—bread, mutton, tea, sugar, choco-
late,wine, and brandy, as comforts for the
siek,
abnederClothes warm and clean for both infants
and adults. Indeed, the quantity and variety of
the proved the solicitude with
which
rEegnat us
regarded. No language of mine
could
ijgs e
conveyl to you half what I felt on the li
e goodw
et h
were
con-
tents of each basket and bundle being exposed. All
wore silenteand those who did venture utterance
could not suppress the tear of gratitude which
gathered as he spoke. Major and Mrs. Rickards

and the other good and -thouelitful people at Sp-
here, to whom we owe so deep a elsbt of gratitude,
will have the satisfaction of knowing, that
through their kindness thelittle haU-nrtde children
were clothed and made comfortable, hungry and
half-starved •mothers enabled to supply their- lie tle
infants at the breast with food, and. the. hearts and
arms of strong mn made braver to protect the '
charge they had in safety brought an far. Curious
to ascertain the cause of our prohibited entry in' o
Sehore, we inquired from the chuprasse (an intelli-
gent young Moslem), who gave us much useful in-
formation. From him we learned that at the re-
quest of Secunder Begum, all thaofficers of the con-
tingent had left for Hooshungabad, now a Madr is
station—that the Resident ha,.l everything in readi
ness to quit cantonments, and that the B -gum had
promised to take charge of the station and con' in-
gent. •He also told us that the Baguet ha I receiv-
ed an "Ishtaher" from the King of Delhi, calling
upon heeas a true Moslem to hoist' the standard of
rebellion, and extirpate the Ferieghee race from
her dominions ; bnt her timely warning to the offi-
cers of the Bhopal contingeoteetiabling them to
escape in safety, showed that her sympathy with
'the rebel King was but slight indeed. • Abandoning
our carriage
.we left the same ,evening for Inalaah,
making a detour of three miles to avoid Byrassiah,
a large town of Scindiah's, this side the Perbutty,
in which a strong body of horse anti fa et were said
to be posted. It was our intention to-have rested
--ata-place- Moriahe abonthalf w sy, but learn-
ing that that villige lay within a couple of miles of
Sehore, we gave it a wide berth and passed on to a
hamlet called Somlab, where we halted .but four
hours, and finding that provisions were not procur-
able there, proceeded five cosy further on to a laree
town called Eechawur, which we reached at eight
o'clock p.m. on the night 6f the 11th. • Eecha,wur we
found to be a waled city the gal-es of which were
closed. After some delay, however, we were allow-
ed to enter, and were escorted. by its governor,
John de Silva, commonly called t Jan Sahib,' to his
own helmet: Both we and our cattle were well cared
for, and every mark of respect and attent'on shown
towards us ; it was fully appreciated, for through-
out our wanderings we had been treated with incivi-
lity and contempt, and as despicable Ferieghees
whose reign was over. Every member of the little
band of fugitives will long cherish in grateful recol-
lection the worthy Ramdar and Governor of
Eechawur. John de Silva or Jan Sabi's, was
Portuguese by birth and parentage, a Christian as
to creed, and a Mussnlrnan in dross.. E tsy and
affable in manner deeply versed in the knowledge
of drugs and disease, he commanded the r spect of
all around him as a man of wonderful at•eietnents.
He exhibited with honest pride his medicine che-t,
which contained phials of calomel; laudanum,
jalap, essence of cinnamon, and oil of lemon grass,
with which he successfully ministered to the wants
Trf-thott.an-dse- -Several- old Frenchmen (Bourbons)
resided here ; they had emigiated in the days of
the Revolution. Some had served under our go-
vernment and enjoy pensions from is., and each
had adopted a Mussulms,u name. A young man
of considerable intelligence, by name Nicholas
Reilly, who called himself au Irishman, waite 1
upon us ; he too had donned the garb of a native,
spoke English fluently, and gave u; Inn 1 informa-
tion. He was born at Cawnpore and ha 1, with a
number of other Christians, tall:, n service under
the Begum Doolan Sahib, whose Jaghz:er the dis-
trict of Eschawur is. Her owe name, it seems, is
Lizabeth, a Christian, married to the Ilakitn
Shazad Mu-sel ; bath were absent from Eechawue
having ben summoned to Bhopal by Secunder
Begum. At this place we obtained full particulars
of the Indore mutiny, and the slaughter w.th
which it was attended, and with which you doubt-
less are already. familiar. In the afternoon we had
an interview with Kannaloode en, the Ramdar of
Lerkoe and Peepletoder ; he assu-ed us of safety
and protection throughout his district, and of a
hearty welcome at Larkoe, our next halt.ne, pl tee.
We reached Larkoe ou the moraing of t!,e 13th,
after a long and fatiguing na trch, many miles of
which her through divise jungle. Great was our
disappointment at finding ourselves b Idly re .eived,
notwithstanding the frieadly assurance of Kerna-
loodeen We thought ourselves s cure fr me all
danger, but scarcely had we sat down in the vt,r-in
dab of a Bunya.h's house when we wore waited ou by
oue Koodun Sing, who represented himself to be a
spy in the service of Holkar an 1 Sein halt, and who
astounded us by stating that his ord re were t'at
no Feringbee suould pass alive throogh that &s-
-trict. He point -d out to a hill same six mil• s in Vie
distance, and there," said he. " are 50) hors-,
ready to enforce my commends." however,
loved the Sahib logue, and our safety might be
guaranteed for a consid-ration. In the most cir-
cumstantial manner possible, he tol I us that Col.
Durand had passed through but three days previ
ous, and that from him he had receit e 1 seo rupees
together with swords and guns as the reward for his
services. , We halted for the night, and determined
to resume our journey at daylight. Wo left Istrkoe
on the 14th. The lives of all were in the hands of
Koondun Sing, and we were without the means of
purchasing his protection. Money we had not to
give, and to part with our arms was imp ,ssible.
Oh, how I sighed for an interview of fire brief nu-
mites by the bank of some lonely nullsh wish the
ruffian who held our b'ood in h hands,

have rid ourselves of such a scoundrel would litve
cost me no compunctions ' • gladly woul I I have
taken his life ui.ion my head. We-savi the rascal
leave in the direction of his met', yet e held on
our course, and had not prose 3ded far when we
learned that Koondun Sing was one of three I,ro-
th'Ts, Dhulleep Sing and Murput Sing being the
Jagheerdars of the district, and that they had
leagued to fleece us of everything we p assessed.
At 8 o'clock at night we reach 'd Goorara, and
found it nearly deserted ; there was but Buoyalt
in the town, all the others having left, it was said,
with provisions for a fore I of Holkar's horse which
held the Ghaut' by which we were to pas; over ta
Hooshungabad. The people were,civil and respect-
ful, and we could not perceive that they had any 05-
ject in spreading a false report. We were not
therefore disposed to treat this rumour lightly, un-
til we found a marked discrepancy in the variaus
staternen's given us. On the morning of the 15th
we marched for Boodhame Gitaut, and reached it
uninolastedahout 2p.m., and there lay before us the
land of promise in pursuit of which wa had toiled so
long. Deep and fervent were our thanksg:vings to
a merciful Providence for His gu'il ow t and prot3c-
tiou throughout our twelve dtys of weary wand; r-
ing, in which we encountered daily peril and
hourly vicissitude. We cr,.ssed the Nerbuilah
about 3 p.m., and were received with a hearty
we!come by Major Rickards, who had come from
Sehore, and by Captain Woo 1, the CO MM issioner.
Nothing could exceed the kindness with which our
arrival was greeted by one and all, espezially by
Colon-1 Halpin and officers of the 28th Madras
Native lufantry. A large party, fugitives like
ourselves, had already arrived from In lore and
Sehora. Every house was full, yet the ever kind
Ma I rassees proved themselves true to their reputed
hospitality, and in an hour we Were all made con-
tented
and comfortable. One lady among us (and
a brave woman she is), whose lit.la infant was but
twelve days old the morning of our flight, contrary
to all expectation found herself restored to a hus-
band, whom we had all m turned as lost, Captain
Harrison, 2nd in command 2d C ,valry Gwalior
Contingent, who I think once met you in the
n Decca when he was adjutant of 'the sth Nizam's
Cavalry ; hs too had bean pursued for several days
by Baba Apta and his horsemen, and who we
learned were also on our track. I had compiled
my little narrative thus far, my dear colonel, in-
tending it as a rough sketch of our sufferings for
you alone, but have bean iequested by every
member of our party to big of you to hand it over
as it is to the Bombay Times. My resignation of
the Gwalior Contingent now existing but in name
has already gone in, and I leave to-morrow for
Asseerghur, where I purpose awaiting instructions
from the medical board and my own government.

SIR HENRY LAWRENCE.
(From the Friend of India) -
;Vivid, after the lapse of many years, will be the
recollection of the throng of emotions which have,
during' the last few months, succeeded each other
so rapidly. Long will the ma,sicre at Meerut and
the gallant defence of Lucknow live in the hearts
of the English people, when their power shall
once again have become consolidated and a
fre h policy shall have led to far different
results. Keenly will the memorialist of the
second centenary of Plessey, when he sees himself
surrounded by the tokens of western civilisation
regret and yet admire the untimely death of Sir
Henry Lawrence. Gladly will he pay a tribute to the
memory of the brave manby whose administration
and by whose influence so much has been done for
India.' For many a year will his name be associated
with Lucknow, and long will
it be before the na-
tives of India wipe from their race the stain of the
blood of the Pacificator of the Punjaub, the large-
nearted, mighty-energied Lawrence.
Rarely has it fallen to the lot of any man to lead
so eventful a life, and still rarer base life been spent
• so entirely unselfishly in the service of the state. In

amongst those who rule as well as amongst those who
are bound to obey. If whole hetacombs of rebels
could te,tore to life the brave men, the fair women,
and •the tender infants who have been ruthlessly
slaughtered, glxily would our brave countrymen at
Cawnpore and Delhi offer the sacrifice, but when,
weary with killing, and satiated with a just retribu-
Con unsullied by cruelty, the melancholy truth is
forced on their recollections, that all their efforts
are unable t) efface the past, they 'are almost in-
clined to give up in despair. But the like occur-
rences may be prevented for the future, and the
English empire in the East-, which has ever pro-
gp:Ted by re&s'ance, will, when watered by the
blood of miscreants who have broken every tie of
humanity, grow until its branches' overshadow the
continent of As'a.

Sir H. Law'.nee first acquired distinction in the
Affghan war, which though disastrous in its crisis
was not fruitless in its issue, fir it served to develop
the talents of many of our officers. The experience
he then gained at the Court of Runjeet Singh en-

ailed t. write ."the Adventurer in tha-Pun-

jab," andthushe pravel another example of men

. .
of ac`ion be:n::; also men of thought, for the work
still remains the only authentioaccountof the state
of the Punjab during the reign of that astute rul 'r
R,unjeet Singh. Sir H. Lawrence, in common with
all the of per politicals who had baen employed in
Lord Auckland's fatuous war, was for some time

Neglected. But at length he was app by Lord
Hardinger resident at Nepal. During this time he
wrote several articles for the Calcutta Review. In

one of th-!in he traced by anticipation the subsequent,
course of events in the Punjab, and more particu-
-1 Lily the then future policy of Golab Singh with the
precision of a man who has learnt t ) use past events
as Cie right clue to future occurrences. Then in
appearance he draw only from his prejudices or im-
agination ; h in reality proceedel upon a firm
I,a4s. Atter Major Broadfoot was killed, at Fero-
zeshah, Lawrence was sent to be pilitical agent with
Governor• General, and that clpacity he ren-
dered etsential servi eto Lord Hariinge. When

the rogency was established in the Punjab, he was
appoint d resident ; and he executed that arduous
office, under all the difficulties of the transition
period, with remark ►ble ability and wisdom. But
ill health compelled him in 1.847 to return to Eng-
land for a ye ,r, and in that period the troubles
which resulted in another war co nmeuced. He
returned by the Indu6 to witness the assault of
Mooltan, to behold the force extemporised by
E I wardos, and th3n to hasten forward to the scene
of action is the Anther valleys of the Punjab.

When vict 3ry at Guzerat secured us thec,)untry,
he, on the 31st March, 1819, was appointed presi-
dent of the Board of Administration for the Punjmb
—and it was ai the abl,3 Administrator of the ne
annexe I pro vi ne?, that his talents shone conspicuous.
At the time when he, with his coadjutors Mr. C.

G. Mansel and Mr. John Lawrance,-entered upon
the difficult task of government, the different races
of the Punjau.',, from the Beas to the Indus, hated
ev• ry tly nasty except their own, and regarded "the
Pritisli as the worst because the most powerful of
usurpers." And the British could. hope to secure
no love to tit it rule by the reduction of taxation,
for though the exactions of Runjeet Singh were
ometim-s severe, yet what he took with one hand
he_ not unfreq'tently gave b tck with the other.
B sides, It s rule-w.ts suited to the people, and mar-
.tial trium:.hs and anoexe I -terriceries more than
soothed thcm for the loss of some fe.v comforts or
the e!idarance of s ime harsh tyrannies. The ele-
ments of future disturbances in addition were not
wanting ; there were the Afr telees and the Wuze-
rocs, the Bozd trs and the Eusufzyes, whom an ap-
pearance of weakness or an impost unsuited to the
character of the half-subject race would have at
once called to arms. No less than 100,000 men
might have be .n arrayed by any Mee move against
us, and t ieir passions would have been inflamed by
"priest-ridden fanatics, and bigoted priests." But
owing to the genius of Sir Henry Lawrence and
the car,ful supervision of Lord Dalhousie, no such
cutbr-ak occurred, and, in the words of their first
rcport,
." The frontier was guarded, state establish-
ments wer.i organised, violent crimes were repressed,
and prison thseipline enforced : civil justice was
&pit tbly administered, taxation fixed, the revenue
cllected, commerce set free, agriculture foster:d,
the national resources developed, and plans for
future inprorment projected." Atter sime time,
in consequence of diversities of opinion between
himself, L'erd Dalhouse and Sir J. Lawrence, he was
remove lfr, anthe Punjaub and placed in Rejp tot tna.
He left his favourite and honourable post without the
slight nst at-.t iniit to excite popular prejudice against
th 'se wit' t whom lie differed, and he departed amidst
the sorrow of ail classes of the public servants in his
province. Fiat it was Sir Henry Lawrence's happy
t dent to be able to stimulate to exertion by love
and ex imple lather than by fe tr, and to win the
sympathy and the p'rsonal regard of all who served
under hm. In Rajpaotana though out of sight,
he was active and laborious, fulfiling his duties not
for the-sake of applause, but unostentatious'y as a
man bait on skiing whilst he lived all the good in
his po -ver. He identified himself with the chiefs,
and. we doubt not that his memory will long be
preservei by them with honour and veneration. A
few months ago he was summoned to Oude, and
there the c-itical and extraordinary circumstances
of his position soon called into action highest
powers ; and his consummate skill, courage, and for-
titude attrac'ed the notice of all India, and marked
him out as the foremost man of this country. Had
he been spared he would have doubtless lived to
see other men again supersede him, and again the
reien of routine in England would have sought out
for the chief rulers of this land noblemen of high
politifyal connections ; while he, the worthy succes-
sor of Clive, remained neglected.
It is at all times'pleasing to have a,. glimpse of the
private relations of a man who in his public cha-
racter has achieved an eminent position. We love
t.) know all about such men, and what would in
other cases be unwarrantable prying becomes a tri-
bute of respect. The charities of ST H. Lawrence
were probably more sxtensivt than those of any man
in the country, and they were as judicious as unos-
tentatious. He did not shrink from publicity when
it was useful for the sake of example, and by this
means he suc:eeded in establishing the Lawrence
Asylum for the children of European. soldiers.
The late Lady Lawrence shared all MS benevoleuce
and all his genius.
His article in the Calcutta Review on " Woman
in India" is descriptive of her character, and the
large subscription that was raised for the Lawrence
Asylum alter her death, was the bast tribute to her
worth.

need-

the death of its founder, but a generous public wil
gonener-
take care that this noble institution shall ever re
main-a testimonial to the munificence of Sir Henry
Lawrence. But we hope
that in the capital o
Idia, in Calcutta, some monument will be erected
to his worth, and that England herself will do jus-
tice to his het oic services and his unspotted fame.
The man who effected all this, the philanthropist
and the warrior, who secured to us the fruits of
conquests, has passed away, mortally wounded in
