78TH HIGHLANDERS, OR ROSS-SHIRE 811173.—We
have seen a private letter from a non-commissioned
officer of this gallant regiment, who is a native of this
town, and at present doing duty with his corps, under
the command of Sir Charles Napier, in India. The left
wing joined the right on the 22d of December last.
.It
left Bombay on the 18th of that month in the frigate
Auckland, for Single. The writer states that the regi-
ment has suffered in some degree from fever and ague,
&c.; but many of our readers, who have friends in the re-
giment, will be gratified to learn that the Highlanders
are in excellent spirits, and are much respected by their
brave countryman and commander, Sir C. Napier. We
extract the following passage, as recording a providential
escape which the writer had from drowning:—" We left
Bombay for Scinde on the 18th December, 1843, and,
on our arrival, I remained on board to see all my com-
pany's baggage put on shore. We lay about two-and-
a-half miles from land, and about seven miles from
camp ; we lost the tide, and had to remain in the boats
until the tide rose again. I was so eager to be with
the company, that another sergeant and I left part of
the regiment, and were making for the camp across the
beach—the nearest way we could get. This was in the
evening, just about the time that the sun was setting.
We continued our route till it was quite dark, and by
that time we were fairly done up for want of everything;
both shoes and stockings were lost, and we kept
sinking in clay, so that- I got so weak that I was
obliged to give up. I was now five miles from the camp;
and my comrade left me for lost. Here I remained for
some time, till I got in a small jungle or shrubbery.
The tide came in on me at seven o'clock, P.m.,
and rose gradually until it came up to the lower

CHATHAM, APRIL 10.—This morning, at six o'clock,
a Convict Guard, consisting of one sergeant and 34 rank and
file of the 58th Regiment, with 15 rank and file of the 80th,
marched from this garrison, accompanied by the band of the
58th, for Gravesend, from which place the troops proceeded
by steam-vessel for Deptford, and embarked the same morn-
ing on board the transport Maria Soames. The guard is

BUffs, with Ensign Walsh of the 80th. Three women and
five children accompany the guard. The transport will take

garrison during the summer months, as Convict Guards. On
Monday last the whole of the invalids, consisting of 100
men, were removed from Fort Pitt establishment to Bromp-
ton Barracks, at which place they are to remain unlil the
Casement Barracks, at St. Mary's, are ready for their recep-
tion. ACcommodation will be afforded for 500 men, which
number is expected from India during the month of Jul,s,,

pital.
