"Lieutenant Fitzgerald leaped into the river
with his wife and child at Singhee Rampore and
were (three) drowned.
"Lieutenant Swetenbam was killed at Singhee
Rampore.

Nagim came to me and said-he had just heard that
the collector of Goruckpore was at the station, and
if I would write a letter to him he would get it
safely conveyed. On Thursday, the 18th June, an
alarm was given that an enemy was in full force
coming against the fort ; my wife and daughter
were immediately hid in the zenanab, and myself
hid in a dark wood (go down). The horsemen, how-
ever, on nearing the fort, were found to be a party
sent by the collector of Goruckpore for our rescue.
The Nagim fu nished my wife and daughter with
palkees, and thereat of us on horses lett the noble
and considerate Nagim at 11 a.m., and, passing
Amorah, reached Capt. Gunge at 4 p.m., where I
found Farrier-Sergeant Busher, of the Artillery,
who also had been rescued from captivity by Mr.
Pippy, wish a guard of the 12th Irregular Cavalry.
The next day we arrived at Bustee, and were hospi-
tably received by Mr. o,l3orne, opium agent, and
his family, who gave us European clothing. After
remaining three days we proceeded to Goruckpore,
thence to Azimghur, thence to Ghazeepore, and by
river ,teamer to C?leatta, when the medical board
advised that I should proceed to England for the
recovery of my health.
"Throughout this severe trial I have found the
promise fulfilled to me and my family,—' And as
thy days, so shall thy strength be.' "
W. LENNOX, Colonel, Bengal Army.

" Henderson was brought into Cawnpore
and killed there on the 15th.

" The doctor of the 10th (I don't know his name)
was killed, along with his wife and child, at:Cawn-
pore, on the 15th.
" The st ition doctor (I suppose poor Maltby, but
my informant, an eyewitness, did not know his
name), with his wife and family, shared the same
fate as the doctor of the lOtb.

" Colonel Tucker (9th Light Cavalry), the
clothing agent, was shot dead in the fort at Putty-
ghur. Mrs. Tucker and three children, and Col.
Tucker's sister, were all massacred here on this 15th.
"Captain Watson (the gun carriage agent) and
his wife and one daughter, and Mrs. Watson's sii-
ter all jumped into the river at Singhee Rampore.
" The chaplain (I don't know his name) was
murdered here on the 15th. His wife and child
jumped into the river at Singhee Rampore, and
were drowned. He jumped in also, and swam three
or four koss, until he overtook Colonel Smith's boat,
which had gone on, but was then sticking on a
Sandbank.

" The Orphan School Mhsionary, supposed to
have been killed at Mehndee Ghat, about seven
koss below Futtyghur, where a Mr. Maclean, who
WAR also killed (an indigo factor), lived.
" The Collector, his wife, and two daughters
(their names I don't know—something like Lewis),
all killed here on the 15th.

" I believe the casualties of the Fyzabad officers
to be as follows:

" Colonel Goldie and one daughter killed here on
the 15th ; the other daughter had her head shot
clean off by a round shot at Singhee Rampore.
" The Sessions Judge (my informant knew him
by no other name), his wife, two grown-up daugh-

GENERAL HAVELOCK'S MARCH.

r' Well, we at last marched for Lucknow, and the
first reception we got after marching a few miles
was a few round -shot, which was kept up very
quickly, for the enemy were under excellent cover.
We marched up among the tre!s, deployed, and
lay- down. Our guns commenced to play. As
they advanced we did also, to cover them, deploy-
ing and lying down to prevent the balls hitting us.
Our skirmishers rushed into the entrenchment and
drove teem out ; but then there was a fortified vil-
lage—we had to rush into that ; and such shooting
you cannot dream of! You could see ode of our
men going quietly round a corner with a quick eye;
the first to see shot the other. The whole of the
houses had to be search din this manner, and the
village, when thought clewed, set, on fire ; but,
after all, as I paszed the village carrying the Queen's
colours, a lot ( f balls whistled pa-t ins,-and several
men were shot. Adjutant- Brown received two .
wounds here, one in the arm; the (Aber in the leg,
but both only flesh wounds. You would pity the
poor fellows shot, some in the face and neck, others
legs broken, men helping thftettlong IVish the da-
maged log- trailing along the ground:....
" After they were driven through the village
they attacked us on the open plain ; but our gnus
soon wide them ' leave that,' so .tlisy skirted as
bard as they could. They had a greeit many
lit*e none,. 6/wept some infantry men
from all regiment 4, who have been formed into tw
squadrons ; also a squadron of gentlemen volun-
teer s.

" Well, having be ►ten them thus far, and having
taken 15 of their guns, and it being firm half-pad
11 in the day, we rested in the open plain in the
burning sun, to get a glas of grog and some break-
fast. We stopped two-and-a-half hours, and pro-
ceeded to a fortified town some miles away. The
enemy, of course, opened fire on us, and there being
no trees to shelter the fortification, our artillery
played splendidly. We deployed, and advanced,
and lay down, taking our time from the artillery,
sent out skirmishers and a regiment, all of which
closed on the town, and broke into the place, the
other regimen's closing and following. There was
a good deal of shooting inside. At last it termi-
❑ated, and the British marched in triumphant. It
was then nearly six in the evening, so the whole
day, you may say, we had been fighting, and the
whole day we had been in the blazing sun, and
nearly the whole day we had been in paddy fields
up to our hips in water, which was a good thing
for us in the heat.

" We thought that all the people had left the
town ; but no such thing. We lay in front of a
sheet of water, but onr Grenadiers lay in the town,
and the insurgents were firing on them all night.
" Our muskets are useless in comparison with
the Enfield rifle, and it was the regiments who were
in ossession of those that did nearly all the busi-
ness ; however the skirmi.hers of my regiment cap-
tured two guns. We captured four guns in the
town, leaving us 19 altogether ; the enemy only
carried off one. . _ _

" I slept in the field in the open air, all night,
under the piles of arms, and no rouse,' the signal
to march, having b?en sounded, I slept until half-
past live. I was very tired, especially having had
to march with my bad heel. We stopped in the
sun until 12 o'clock that day, and were then ordered
into the town. We were glad to get out of the
sun, but no s:over did we move than an order was
issued to march that evening at two. It was very
hot, especially for 113 who had been in the sun al
day. Guess our surprise when we found we wer
t.) retire.' Yes, the general found he had only
1,200 men—that on an average, he had lost, be-
tween death, men going sick, and killed and
wounded, 50 rven per day—he could not venture
to Lucknow with this small force, and, probably,
similar daily decrease of men, and, although all
were dispirited, I think he has acted wisely. We
marched about seven miles, and yesterday about
seven more to this village, which is about five miles
from the river which separates us from Cawnpore.
We may be here for a fortnight waiting for rein-
forcements. I am glad of the rest, and those native
huts which I once despised I am glad to occupy
now."

STRIKE OF TILE COALWHIPFERS.--The coalwhippers
attached to the Coal whippers'-office of the port of London
and those employed by agents, have struck for an ad-
vance of wages to 9.1. a ton. The men assert that the
office had suddenly lowered the rate of whipping from
7d. to 6d., and that that is an 'amount of remuneration
they cannot subsist upon. It is stated that there are
1,500 men on strike.
TUE GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPHS. —A. writer in a con-
temporary says :—"lt is somewhat strange, at a time
when hearts in so many an English home are wringing
with bitter anticipations of expected news from India,
that Government cannot furnish ns with better tele.
graphs.. The news received yesterday was a mere repe-
tition of what was brought by the last Calcutta mail ;
and yet Acting Consul Green, Admiral Stopford, Mr.
Craig, ,ke.,
seem to have been in happy ignorance of it.
Again : why should the telegraph take 30 hours coming
from Cagliari to the Admiralty, whereas the steamer
from Malta accomplishes the passage to Cagliari in only
3G hours ? Will Government afford an explanation of
this, or are we to form disagreeab!e notions as to the
probability its contents having been freely discussed
by
be-
fore it WFS allowed to proceed on its way ? Is, then, our
of
crowned heads over.their wine yesterday,
grief to be thus taunted and our calamity mocked I
trust that by your powerful advocacy the evil may
speedily be remedied ; for it can only be accomplished
through the medium of the press that a change shall
4. come o'er the spirit of the dream." I suggest that a
person who takes some interest in India and what is
going on there, and besides possesses acme acquaintance
with the names and orthography of the principal cities
and military stations, be sent out io Cagliari for the sole
purpose of cubing the fresNst and latest news from the
papers, and transmitting it by the most expedition*
route, m as condensed and intelligible a form as possi-
ble, for now every sentence has to be corrected and
emendations suggested before it is at all readable. It is
a disgraceful and painful state of things ; and if Goyern.
meat cannot find a better man, I will readily accept a
small salary, and go ont for the specific object, for no
t ling can be more harrowing and unsatisfactory than the
present system of Government telegraphy,"
