THE QUEEN v. Hour.

When the Judges retired, and the Recorder took his seat
in the Court, soon after five o'clock,
Mr. CLIRKSON moved for judgment on the defendant, who
it will be recollected was found guilty on Monday lust upon
an indictment for publishing a false, wicked, and malicious
libel upon Lord William Paget, in reference to the Paget and
Cardigan proceedings.
rho RixormEn said, as the prosecutor desired judgment to
be passed during the present session of the Central Criminal
Court, the defendant (now a prisoner in the Queen's Prison)
must be in attendance on Saturday morning at ten o'clock.

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION.
At the usual meeting of the National Association,
held at their Hall, High Holborn, on Tuesday last, the
following resolutions were unanimously agreed to; pro-
posed by Mr. H. Mitchell, seconded by. Mr. W. Lovett.
Ist.—That Mr. O'Connell having stated in his de-
fence on his late trial, that " The Charter purposed a
violation of all property," he well-knowing (from being
one of the Committee who drew up the Charter) that
such statement was false and utterly devoid of founda-
tion, this Association is of opinion that such conduct is
deserving the severest reprehension.
2d.—That while it expresses its cordial sympathy
with the people cG. Ireland in their manifold oppressions,
it cannot but regret that Mr. O'Connell. while advo-
cating the redress of Irish wrongs, should step out of
his way to throw falsehood and calumny on principles
by whiel► it is sought to remedy the common wrongs of
all, by the extension of the franchise to all.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.

The first mate of the ship Diana, who was on Monday
last summoned before the Lord Mayor and Sir J. Pixie
to answer the complaint of the widow of the captain of
that vessel, under circumstances of an extraordinary
character, and ordered to find bail to answer for his ap-
pearance yesterday at the justice-room, attended before
Sic Peter Laurie, according to appointment, to answer
any charge which might be brought against him.
Mr. Bozon appeared as solicitor for the prosecution,
and Mr. Francis, of Monument-yard, attended upon the
part of the defendant.
Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk to the Lord Mayor)
having briefly stated the substance of what took place
on the first examination, which was reported at length
in the newspapers,
Mr. Francis (the solicitor to the defendant) requested
to be informed what was the exact charge against his
client.
Sir P. LAURIE said that from what he understood
there were two charges of a very serious nature—a
charge of murder and a charge of setting fire to the Ship.
Mr. Goodman stated that the distinct charge brought
against the first mate was, that he had detained a gold
watch and chain belonging to Captain May, who was
found in his cabin, shot through the head, and produced
a metal watch and chain to the widow instead of them,
and that he had taken possession of the vessel, and
steered for St. Helena, where he sold part of the goods,
instead of going to the Island of Ascen
Mr. Francis said that the charge, as it appeared in
the 7 inzes newspaper, was very different from that
which Sir Peter Laurie had described.
Mr. Bozon—l shall be able to pr-ve, I think, that the
captain had a gold watch arid chain about him, and
the watch and chain he handed to the captain's widow
were merely metal. I call William Melton.
William Mel.,n, of Ne. 26, Weymouth-street, New
Kent-road, stated that he was carpenter in board the
Diana, in May last, when she was at St. Helena, and he
wat in th, vessel at the time the captain aaS found shot
in the cabin. Captain May had a watch.
Mr. Bozon—Was it a gold watch ? Witness—lt was
of the colour of gold. Ido not know that it was gold.
He showed it to me at sea. It was a small watch.
Mr. Bozon —Did you ever see it in St. Helena ?
Witness—Never.
Sir PETER LAURIE—Did you ever see it in the first
mate's possession ? Witness—Never.
Sir PETER LAURIE—This evidence by no means af-
fects the defendant.
Mr. Bozon—l have not had sufficient time to examine
the additional witnesses, as I have only 'ust arrited
from Southampton, and I have been misinformed as to
what this witness was able to prove. I shall, however,
call another witness, and in the mean time I request that
Sir Peter Laurie will read these letters, which treat of
the subject.
Mr. Francis—l wish every statement to be openly and
distinctly made, and protest against insinuations. The
gentleman before Sir Peter Laurie is prepared to meet
any straightforward charge.
Mr. Bozon—l shall call a witness to another point.
Jeremiah Drake, who was then called by Mr. Bozon,
said that he was an apprentice on board of the Diana
when she was at St. Helena, and he recollected the time
she blew up.
Sir PETER LAURIE—What do you think was the cause
of the explosion ?
The witness had not answered when
Mr. Bozon said—" Do you recollect the first mate
coming on board ?" Witness—l do not recollect the
hour, but it was about dinner time.
Mr. Bozon—Did he come from shore ? Witness—He
did. He went to dinner in the after part of the vessel.
Mr. Bozon—Where was the steward who was after-
wards blown up with part of the vessel ? Witness—He
came on deck after he had prepared the dinner.
Mr. Francis—lt was the duty of the first mate to be
in the after part of the vessel.
Mr. Bozon—We will not argue the matter. How soon
after the first mate left the vessel to go ashore after
dinner did the vessel blow up ? Witness—About ten
minutes after.
Mr. Bozon—By that explosion the poor steward was
killed. That the blowing up was wilfully done there is
no doubt. The gunpowder was secured with copper, as
has already been proved. I expect evidence of an im-
portant nature in the course of about three weeks, and I
have to apply to Sir Peter Laurie for a remand of the
case until I shall have the opportunity of bringing for-
ward the evidence I speak of.
Sir P. LAURIE—I must own that in such a case it
must be satisfactory for the defendant to hear all the
evidence, in order that he may have the best opportu-
nity of giving an answer for his own character's sake.
Mr. Francis—He is in search of employment at sea
at this moment, and it is important to him not to be de-,
tained.
Sir PETER LAURlE—Depend upon it he will not get
employment, nor could he satisfactorily accept employ-
ment, until these matters are cleared up.
The Defendant—Allow me to ask the witness a ques-
tion or two. Where were you when I entered the cabin
of the ship ? Witness—l was forward.
The Defendant—Was it possible for me, dressed in
light-coloured clothes, as I was, to come from the maga-
zine without being contaminated or dirtied ? Witness
—I don't know what sort of dress you had on.
The Defendant—Could any one go down to the'place
where the powder was kept,without being soiled or black-
ened ? Witness—Yes, I think so.
The Defendant—Was it not under the cabin the pow-
der was kept ? Witness—lt was.
The Defendant—(to Sir Peter Laurie)—lt was quite
impossible for a person to get to the place where the
magazine was kept without considerable difficulty, and
without soiling himself.
Witness intimated that it was not at all a difficult task
to reach the magazine from the place in which the de-
fendant was situate.
The Defendant—l will come forward, my Lord, most
willingly to meet this, or any other charge. I wish for
the most complete investigation.
One of the gentlemen who bailed the defendant on the
first day of examination, here stepped forward and de-
clared that a more grossly unfounded charge had never
been made than that which had been insinuated against
the gentleman accused. All the statements and in-
4inuations had been equally gross and inconsistent. It
had been mentioned in the first examination that the de-
l'endant had acted most improperly and culpably in sail-
ing for St. Helena instead of going on to Ascension
Island. Now, any body who knew any thing at all of
sea, must know that such an observation argued com-
plete ignorance. He (the defendant's bail) had been for
a number of years at sea, and if the defendant had,
under the circumstances, done anything but just what
he had done, a discharge would have been what he
would have merited.
Mr. Francis—lt has been stated that the first place the
vessel ought to have gone to was the Island of Ascen-
sion. Now, the ship was not in a safe state. There is
no provision to be had at Ascension. It is merely a
military station.
The Defendant's bail--I would not hesitate to discharge
him at once if he had gone there.
Mr. Bozon—lt was within a few hours' sail, and the
rest of the crew were anxious to go there at once.
The Defendant's bail—What had the crew_ to do with
the question ?
The Defendant--Captain Lott, who is here, was ion
the jury which sat upon the body of the steward, at
St. Helena. You can speak, to him on the subject.
Mr. Bozon—l have the verdict of the coroner's
inquest here.
Captain Lott stated that he was on the jury, and that
the verdict was that the ship had been wilfully blown up
by some person or persons unknown, and that Thomas
Cox, the steward, met his death by the explosion.
Mr. Francis—Was any person in charge upon the
occasion ? Witness—No.
Mr. Francis—Was any charge made against the
second mate ? Witness—Yes, and he was declared to
be innocent.
Mr. PETER LAURIE—Were you on the jury during
the whole of the investigation ? Witness—l was, and
it was thoroughly investigated.
The Defendant—And was not the foreman of the jury
prejudiced against me, in your opinion? Witness—He
was prejudiced against you in the opinion of every one.
Mr. Francis—The defendant has a letter from the
owners of the vessel, exculpating him altogether, and
giving him credit, for the course he pursued.
Here a letter was handed to Sir PETER LAURIE, who
said, upon reading it, that the contents gave a- high
character of the defendant, but the charge referred to
his conduct, and not to his character.
The defendant's bail again referred to the statement,
on the first examination, as to the impropriety of taking
the ship to St. Helena, and asked Captain Lott where
he would have sailed to if he had had the command of
her? Captain Lott—l would have gone home.
Mr. Bozon submitted that such testimony as that
showed that the ship ought not to have been taken to
St. Helena.

The defendant said that Mr. Bozon spoke in total
ignorance of the difficulty of reaching the Island of As-
cension during the trade winds, if it had been advisable
to make for that place.
Sir PETER LAURIE—I think it is due to the defeat•
dant himself, as well as to those who bring the accusa-
tion, to remand this case, in order that it may be fully
investigated.
Mr. Goodman (the Lord Mayor's clerk)—Do you, Mr.
Bozon, believe that within three weeks you will receive
important testimony with regard to this case ? Mr.
Bozon—l do.

The defendant then retired with his bail, the sureties
having been continued to the amount already specified,
namely, himself in 2001., and two sureties in 100/. each,
as responsibility for his appearance in three weeks.
QUEEN'S-SQUARE.
Edward Boys, a respectable-looking man, was charged
before Mr. Bond by Mr. Curtis, cheesemonger, York-
street, with embezzeling 12/. Ss., which he received in
his capacity of shopman and traveller.
It appeared from the statement of the complainant
that the defendant was employed by him so far back as
August, 1842, to collect moneys which were owing by
customers residing in different parts of london. About
a fortnight after entering his service, he went out to per-
form his duties as usual, but he had not been seen by the
complainant from that time until the preceding night.
Latchford 87 L, stated that when he took the defend-

ant into custody, he did not deny the cbarge, but said
that he got drunk and lost the money.—Remanded until
Monday.
DISTURBANCE IN CHAPELS.—A young man was
charged with annoying the congregation of the Wes-
leyan Chapel, Horseferry-road, by shouting and other
discordant noises. He was intoxicated at the time.
The defendant expressed his regret at the occurrence,
and was dis,.:harged with an admonition.

THEATRICALS AT BRIG irroN.—On Monday even-
ing, the house opened to fifteen persons in the pit, two in the
boxes, and two in the gallery. There was no perfQrnlitlice,
and the money wariiiturned to the audience.

ALLSOPP'S EAST INDIA PALE ALE.
In csnseQuenee of an advertisement issued by Messrs. Bass
and Co.. in the London and provincial, newspapers, we were under
the necessity of addressing a letter to those gentlemen on the 26th
ult., informing them that their statements of the prices of Pale Ale
in India, and the shirments thereto, as far as we were concerned,
were " grossly incorrect," and that if the advertisement were not
withdrawn, we should feel compelled publicly to allude to tie Inac-
curacy of it. We have, therefore, no alternative but to declare
publicly, what we informed them privately, that almost every state-
ment is " grossly incorrect." We take this opportunity of giving
accounts of the latest bona fide wholesale sales of each Ale, as veri-
fied by the various prices current, and have only to refer parties to
those connected with India for a confirmation of these facts.

GRAHAM and SMITH (lateEl;ington and Graham), having added
vast connexions to their house by the economy of a ready money
system, applied to rich and fashionable goods, as well as to the plain
and useful, beg to announce their determination, that in future the
overplus stock, extremely reduced in price, will be sold on the pre-
mises each year, previous to the commencement of the Spring Trade.
By this arrangement considerable advantages will be distributed
through their own connection, instead of pursuing the old plan, which
for thirty years has given an immense mass of beautiful goods, at
little more than half-price, to shippers for foreign sale.

It is indeed difficult to believe that 700,000/. has been ex-
pended, from first to last, upon Buckingham Palace ! and the
more so, when we find that this sum exceeds the expense
incurred in the erection of the two most beautiful modern
edifices in Paris, viz., the " Madeleine" and the " Arc de

l'Etoile"—the cost of the former building being 320,000/.,
and that of the latter 360,000/.
Because 700,0001. was wasted at Pimlico, a most rigid eco-
nomy must needs be exercised upon the next occasion, upon
which a demand was made upon the public purse for a na-
tional object, and the paltry sum of 70,000/. was accordingly
voted for the National Gallery.
What the result has been the National Gallery itself but
too plainly demonstrates, for this stunted and unsightly pile
stands forth, in (perhaps) the most commanding position in
any capital of Europe, a striking monument of our bad taste,
and ill-judged, misplaced parsimony.
After such melancholy failures, it might reasonably have
been inferred that effectual measures would have been taken
to prevent their recurrence ; but no, the British Museum bids
fair to rival both the Palace and Gallery. A more poor,,
meagre, bald, and tasteless structure than that which is re-
presented by the design now published and circulated, as a
faithful copy of Sir Robert Smirke's intended Façade, it
would be impossible to conceive. It is a mere duplicate of the
Post-office, without presenting one new or agreeable feature.
Far be it from me to speak in terms of disparagement of so
respectable a gentleman as Sir Robert Smirke, but the new
Façade of the British Museum is pronounced by all compe-
tent judges to be quite unworthy of his reputation.
The Miscellaneous Estimates for the present yeat will
shortly be brought under the consideration of the House of
Commons, when, no doubt, some explanation will be afforded
as to the intentions of her Majesty's Government in respect
to this building.
The growing interest felt upon this subject 'mustplead my
excuse for requesting you to be good enough to give publi-
city to this letter.--Y am, Sir, your very obedient servant,
A FRIEND TO THE FINE ARTS.

THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.
M. Duprez, the great French tenor singer, made his first
appearance, before an English audience, at this theatre, last
evening, and never has it been our lot to witness a more tri-
umphant debiit. For once the play-bills speak the language
of simple truth—Duprez is indeed the most eminent tenor in
Europe. He belongs not to the race of the feebles—his voice is
clear, full, rich, powerful, flexible, and of immense compass.
He is a most accomplished musician, and possesses the most
exquisite taste. In him art and study have carried to per-
fection the gifts of nature. He has all the power of Don-
zelli, with the exquisite taste and finished execution
of Rubini. We had been given to understand
that Duprez' voice was a pure voce di petto. Such
however is not the case. His chest voice is pure, rich, and
of great compass, but he also possesses a most exquisitely
delicate falsetto, which he uses sparingly, indeed, as a falsetto
ought always to be used, but always with the greatest taste
and judgment. His acting, too, is of a very high order, full
of passion and intensity, and his articulation is so beautifully
distinct that, although he sang in English, we could clearly
distinguish every syllable that he uttered. The character
selected for his debut was that of Arnold, in Rossini's mag-
nificent opera of Guillaume Tell. On his appearance in the
opening scene of the first act he was received-with loud ap-
plause, and his manner of giving the opening recitative " A
day like this," proved that his fame, great as it is, is not more
than deserved. Then followed the beautiful duet with Tell,

the whole burden of which fell upon Duprez, for Leffler, who
took the part of Tell, was so hoarse, that before the conclu-
sion of the duet he was obliged to come forward and claim
the indulgence of the house. The fact was, that Leffler, who
was evidentlylabouring under a severe cold, could scarcely, be
heard, so that the duet was in fact a solo by Duprez, and a
solo so exquisitely sung and acted as to elicit the most rap-
turous applause. In the second we had the beautiful duet
with Matilda (Miss Romer), " From my heart the secret is
stolen," exquisitely given by Duprez and Miss Romer. No-
thing could exceed the tenderness and pathos of Duprez
throughout this scene. Rubini never surpassed the beautiful
expressiveness of the tones of Duprez in this exquisite duet.
He was admirably supported by Miss Romer, and the duet
was of course rapturously encored. Then came the
magnificent trio, the oath of the Rutti, which, owing to the
hoarseness of Leffler was, in fact, a duet, given with great
energy and spirit by Duprez and Stretton, who acted the
part of Walter, and who, throughout the scene of the gather-
ing cantons, sang the music which should have been sung by
Tell. The concluding trio and chorus was very finely given.
Arnold does not appear again until the concluding scene of
the last act ; and here Duprez achieved his greatest triumph.
All our readers will doubtless remember the beautiful air,
" Dear home, still in thy beauty," in which Arnold gives ut-
terance to his anguish on revisiting his native cottage,
and finding that his father has fallen a victim to the tyranny
of Gesler. Duprez entered fully into the situations. His
manner of giving the concluding lines of the air—
" I call in vain with anguish tortured
On him who hears no more the spell,
Home beloved, where my youth was nurtured,
I come to gaze on, and to bid farewell !"
was exquisitively expressive. He seemed heart-broken.
Whether as regarded acting or singing, it was a perfect
triumph of art. • There were loud calls for a repetition,
Dnprez came forward and bowed imploringly—still the calls
continued, and at length Cooper made his appearance, and,
after thanking the audience for the enthusiastic manner in
which they had received Duprez, requested as a favour that,
they would not insist upon the encore. The audience, after
some slight show of opposition, acquiesced, and were amply
rewarded for their forbearance by the magnificently
energetic manner in which Duprez gave the
grand finale " Then hence away." There is no
other singer in the world who - could have ap-
proached him in this magnificent scene. He was called for
at the fall of the curtain, and bouquets and crowns were
showered on him in abundance. The opera has been put
upon the stage in the most perfect manner possible. The
scenery, by the Grieves, is exceedingly beautiful. The
choruses are full, and admirably chilled ; and the costumes
are superb. The band, which was complete in
alldueteidts pbayrts,

full justice
jusctoice-
to the music of the " maestro." We have never before heard

the splendid overture so efficiently and so correctly per-
formed. The audience were loud in the expression of their
approbation, and the concluding movement of the overture
was repeated. The overture commenced at a quarter before
seven, but long before that time the house was crowded in
every part. It was, indeed, a bumper house, and the vi-
sitors to the boxes, who had not taken the precaution to se-
cure places, experienced the greatest difficulty in obtaining
even a standing place where they could see and hear.

THE BATTLES AT HINGOLAH.

_____ ____---- --- ----- -----•
The following spirited descriptions are furnished by military cor.
respondents of the Agra Ukhbar :
Negotiations had been going on for some days previous to the
26th of December, 1843, on which day it was supposed the Gwalior
Government would submit to all the terms imposed by the British
Government.

This having failed, on the 28th all general officers, officers com-
manding brigades and regiments, were directed to assemble at the
Commander-in. Chief's tent at nron. They did so accordingly, tr
receive their instructions for the line of march, or for the columns
of attack, should they meet opposition on the following morning,
which was fully expected. The whole of the troops were under
arms before daylight on the morning of the 29th of December,
1843, and marched from Hingolah, the 3d brigade of Infantry
taking a direction towards Mungowlee, the 4th brigade marching
upon Mooreeno, and the sth brigade, consisting of No. 10 Light
Field Battery, the 4th brigade of Cavalry, consisting of the 4th
Lancers and 10th Light Cavalry, under Brigadier Scott, together
with her Majesty's 39th Regiment and 56th Regiment of Native
Infantry, moving upon the road to Joora. These columns all
arrived at their respective positions at eight o'clock, having
marched a distance of six miles. We were aware the enemy were
in position at no great distance, though their exact locality was not
known to us. We were formed in quarter distance contiguous
columns, the artillery and cavalry on our left, in cultivated fields.
At this period we perceived four or five elephants coming up in the
rear of her Majesty's 39th Regiment; to our surprise we perceived
Lady Gough, Mrs. General Smith, Miss Gough, and Mrs. Curtis,
with three European maid-servants. Lord Ellenborough, :.t
this moment, gall with a few troopers, and halted in
re •0k the s he spoke to General Littler and to
several"lslllccis o 39th in the most familiar manner. The
military spectacle of the field of battle was at this moment truly
grand ; Afajor-General Valiant, with his 3d brigade of Infantry in
columns stretching far to the right ; Major-General Dennis, with
the 4th brigade, in the centre; and the sth brigade on the left;
the 3d brigade of Cavalry, her Majesty's 16th Lancers, Ist Light
Cavalry, and Governor. General's Body Guard, with Charley
Grant's troop of Horse Artillery, under Major-General Thackwell
and Brigadier Cureton, to the extreme right of all. The artillery
all in their proper positions, as ordered.
The elephabts in rear of her Majesty's 39th Regiment tower-
ing over this position of the field of battle, soon attracted the
enemy's attention ; it was no longer doubtful where the enemy's
position lay, and a rapid fire of fir e guns in succession was directed
towards the_centre of the 39th, immediately in rear of which was
Lord Ellenborough and the ladies ; the distance from the enemy at
that period was about 1,500 yards. The first few shots fell short,
but in a few moments we could perceive by the elevation of the
guns, that the practice of the enemy's artillery was perfect, for
several shots in succession bounded over her Majesty's 39th, and
close to the elephants. I had seen some service in distant climes.
I marked well the firm, cool, and steady countenance of his
Lordship on the first occasion of his having been exposed to fire,
and the chivalrous bearing of this high-minded nobleman—an
honour to his name, an honour to India, and to the British nation,
who was reluctantly forced by his advisers and friends to quit
this dangerous position, and proceed with the ladies to Afooreeno,
which the enemy's fire had not then opened upon.
General Littler having at length received the Chiefs' laconic
order, " On and at them," directed the two regiments imme-
diately to advance towards the enemy; the ground was
difficult and heavy, which impeded much the progress of our
advance ; the enemy then opened a heavy and most destruc-
tive fire towards the colours of her Majesty's 39th Regi-
ment, and as we advanced the fire became equally destruc-
tize to all parts of the line of this noble regiment, well
supported by the 56th Native Infantry. Throughout the ad.
vance to this battery there was not a stone, or bank, or shrub of
any kind to cover the soldiers from this heavy fire. The steadi.
ness, firmness, and undaunted courage of the troops, animated by
the gallant Littler, were beyond all praise. The enemy's fire was
unerring, not a shot but told. When about sixty yards from the
battery her Majesty's 39th gave them a volley, and with three
British cheers rushed upon the enemy at their guns, and the brave
fellows that defended them died by their sides.
The conflict in the village of Maharajpoor was short, but the
struggle severe and desperate. It was impossible to state the
strength of the enemy, as they were crowded in all directions; when
broken in upon in the houses and inclosures in the village, and
when even they were supposed to be subdued, the fire was kept up
from these places by vast numbers who had concealed themselves
in the little plantations and gardens surrounding the village.
It would be invidious in the writer of this to particularise any
conspicuous act of gallantry where all were equally brave against
one of the most destructive fires of a determined enemy, who
were driven from their guns only by the bayonet. It is impossible
to speak in too high terms of Major-General Littler, whose reso.
lute and cool bravery was conspicuous throughout. He (with his
staff) was close in with the enemy's guns, receiving on this occasion
a severe contusion from a grape shot on the left ancle. Captain
Greaves was wounded by Isis side, Captain Harris was engaged in
a personal conflict, and Major Ryan's (her Majesty's 60th) horse
was wounded by a musket ball ; this shows that our gallant Ge-
neral did not spare his person.
In re-forming line we found that our loss had been severe both
in officers and men ; our attention was then directed to a heavy
cannonade on the left of the Maharajpoor. The gallant Wright
soon got his brigade formed in line again ; and proceeded with a
resolute and firm step to the attack of this second position, named
Choundah. The distance from Maharajpoor to this new position
was about a mile. The force of her Majesty's 39th Regiment
and 56th Native Infantry had been much reduced in numbers,
but the tried valour of the troops nothing could daunt, the Ge-
neral acting on his own judgment in this operation. The can.
nonade in this second advance was even more destructive and mur-
deross than the attack upon Maharajpoor in grape, chain, and
round shot ; every discharge from well-served batteries in front and
dank made a breach in our ranks and thinned them most rapidly,
a cannon shot at this period mowing down three men of her Ma.
jesty's 39th, and also a horse on which Major Ryan wss riding at
the General's side. The gap in the ranks of the 39th was woeful.
The gallant Brigadier then halted his regiment (the 39th) with
as much steadiness as on the parade ground, and perfected the line,
and, on arriving near enough to their entrenched camp, he gave
them a volley as at Maharajpoor, and dashed in upon the guns
with the bayonet; the enemy flying before on this occasion, and,
abandoning their guns, left their tents standing. The troops at
the termination of this second contest were so exhausted by fatigue
and more particularly from thirst, under a strong sun, that they
could not follow up their victory further, having been marching
and under arms since four o'clock a.m., it being noon when the
conflict of Choundah was terminated.

The object of the writer is to afford a plain statement, without
giving praise to a single individual, in any subordinate rank ; if it
could be done in a letter like this, it would be to record the must
brilliant acts of devotion and valour, of both officers and men of
her Majesty's 39th Regiment. I must, however, mention the cool
and steady courage of the veteran Bray, leading in front the colours
of her Majesty's 39th Regiment, whose gallant son fell the same
day, carrying one of the banners of the regiment.
After we supposed all opposition had ceased four guns in a
detached battery to the right were opened upon Us, with murderous
grape, by a few desperate Mahratta soldiers; the 'Grenadier com-
pany of her Majesty's 39th and a company of the 56th Native In.
fantry soon attacked and secured them. It is not my province to
remark on this occasion upon the movements of the general field of
battle; all those who were not engaged or could not be engaged
evinced the most anxious zeal, hoping that it might be their turn
next to move, My narration is simply what occurred with the two
regiments of the sth brigade, and whatever credit may be due to
General Littler, he must owe chiefly to the intrepidity and valour
of the troops he had the good fortune to command on the ever
memorable and glorious 29th of Dec., 1843.
P.S.—I should have mentioned in its proper place the good
service done by Captain Grant's troop of Horse Artillery on the
Choundah position previous to the advance of her Majesty's 39th
Regiment.
There may be other parts of the fight connected with this bri-
gade let out of this hurried account, which, from my being through.
out the day with her Majesty's 39th Regiment, did not come under
my immediate eye.

(From the Bombay Courier.)
Head-quarters, Camp Hingolah, Dec. 28, 1843.
As I happened to be one of those attached to the centre co-
lumn, it is only in my power to give you a slight and, I fear, im.
perfect account of the glorious fight we had on the 29th ; but the
fact is, there were two perfectly distinct battles fought on that day
—and it Is the movements of the centre column which I will en-
deavour to describe.

When the column arrived at Mungowlee, its head was changed
by the order of his Excellency the Commander.in.Chief, and
moved eastward. When yet in column, to our astonishment, over
whizzed two balls, and one knocked down about seven men of the
2d Grenadier Regiment. Our gallant Commander, General Va-
liant, then directed line to be formed—the 2d Grenadiers being
on the left, the 16th Grenadiers, under Colonel Maclaren, in the
centre, and the Queen's 40th on the right. The line then ad-
vanced on the village of Maharajpoor, under a very heavy fire,
of ball and grape from a battery of four guns, poured into
the 2d Grenadiers and 16th—and at the same time, some hun.
dreds of bards from the village, and in front of the Queen's
40th, two more guns scattered destruction, wounding their
commanding officer, Major Stopford ; and his horse, I hear
was cut by swordsmen. The old gallant Commanding Officer
Maclaren was hit slightly about this time, and his horse shot.
" Forward" was the cry of the brave General, and on all
rushed—capturing the guns, and entered the left of the village,
which was occupied by numbers of the enemy, who kept up a
• continued fire from musketry, and who were also firing from the
tops of the houses. Here we met the 39th, Queen's, and 56th
Regiment, with General Littler, who, after carrying a heavy bat.
tery, had entered the right of the village—but the junction of the
two columns soon cleared the place. At this time the half of the
16th Grenadiers and Queen's 40th, being on the right of the line,
had, from not being opposite any past of the village, been rapidly
advancing, and then opened to their view the second position of
the enemy, which consisted of a battery of four guns, with a large
brick.house loogholed, and which was crammed by the enemy's ig-
fantry ; a well with a six-foot wall round it, and two large trees
occupied by musketry. During the advance on this strong posi-
tion, and across a fine open maiden, you may imagine how, in the
space of some 1,200 yards, we were peppered by the enemy. Shot
of all sizes and grape in profusion were thrown amongst us, and,
to do them justice, the enemy's artillery were beautifully served—
scarcely a shot went over our heads, nearly every one told, and
you saw threes and fours !Idling in every direction. But again did
the cry of " Forward " issue from the lips of the General, and on
coming within a few yards of the battery a most desperate rush
was made; the enemy discharged their guns within five paces,
and then rushed sword in hand on us—and that in front of Euro.
peans—so you see what a gallant foe we had to contend
with. Here the conduct of General Valiant excited univeral
admiration; it was truly that of the bravest of the brave. He
put himself at the head of his troops, and, taking off' his cap,
cheered lustily. iiiis enthusiasm spread, and the position was car-
ried in the most dashing way; but, alas I dreadful was the loss.
Poor Newton, of the 16th Grenadiers, fell pierced by six balls ;
Sepoys and Europeans strewed the plain; mounted officers seemed
to be the general mark, for the Commanding Officer of the Queen's
40th, Captain Codrington, was cut down at the guns, iii the act of
nobly charging at its head, and several others were also wounded.
Both of the Adjutants of the 16th" and 40th were wounded, and
also their hones. To show how much exposed was the Gallant
General, it may be mentioned that his horse was hit by a cannon
ball, and in two other places by grape, and he was obliged to
mount another charger. His pistol inside his coat, it is said, saved
his life, for a ball entered at the left breast and passed out, luckily
causing a severe contusion only.
No sooner was the position carried than to stand there became
to hot, for the enemy had retired on a third position of six guns,
placed 400 or 500 yards from the hut, and 400 to its right rear,
and 200 to its left. " Form line," was the word of command, and
soon it was done under the superintendence of the gallant officers ;
and again was the cheer upraised by the General leading the way,
assisted by Col. Sanders, Military Secretary, and Major Barr, of
the Queen's service. At this point the fire was the heaviest
