ee CAMP, UNDER THE SECOND RANGE 01'
GHAUTS, FEB. 24.—We-had a smart abion with
Gopaul Sirag, on. the 18111. Our f Tee, under Cap-
tain E. P. Wilson,. consisting of two six-poundets,
three companies of. the 7th, Regiment, with seven
companies of the Ist bittalion of the i6th, attacked •
Gopaul S og, who, with about 300-1-ierse," and 3000,
infantiy, were strongly posted. Our_ troops moved
'to the attack with the utmost coolness and intrepi...
&0., and soon put to flight the enemy's centre and
rig :t wing ; but his left was so strongly posted in a
fortified stlaige,protected also by a deep nullah and•
a jungle, that alter persevering in the attack tor pp,
ward, of an hour and a half, we found it expedient
to give up
.ibe attempt, and to await for the cona=
pletion of our work till joined by a squadron of ca-
valry and a galoper. These have since joined us ;
had they fortunately been With us on the 18th, the
day. would have had a different termination, and
there would, -I think; have been an end Of Gopaul's
career. We had one Subadar, and five epoys kill,

ed Othcers are Lieutenant Dewaal; slightly in the
at4n, and now nearly recovered ; Lieutenant Aspin-
well, of, the 7th; Ensign Agnew, dangerously
wounded ou the head; Lieutenant FiteworkerTim-
brell, of Artillery, received a severe contusion.—
Gopaul Sing, unwilling to' stand a second attack,
for which we were pit-paring, has taken shelter in.
the hills. •
FEB. 29.—Yesterday. 'Captain Wilson, who
comtliands at K.uckeruttie, with seven companies of
the Ist battalion 16th regiment, and three cempit-
vies of the Ist battalion at the 7th; with two SlN-
pounders, made an unsuccessful attack, on Gopaul
Sing near that place. Gopaul had 3000 foot and
800 horse, and took post in 'a"very strong, village,
which • Captain Wilson attacked; and after two
hours hard work, was fOrced to retreat with the Jos
of 'between 40 and 50 killed' and wounded. The
enemy has suffered severely.. His loss, according
to the best accoutys we can obtain, amounts lo*
two sirdars and 370 men killed, with 7 or 800
wounded. Since this gtion, Gopaul Sing has re-
floated into (be hills, , and all is now quiet in this
part of Bundlecund. —(Calcuita Mirror, March" 4 .)
CALCUTTA, APRIL 14.--On Sunday evening laS',
presently after the ces,at ion of a smart North-West-
er, ts4o successive shocks of an earthquake Were
distintily telt, 'in many parts-of Calcutta and.its vi-
cinity. The time of the occurrence, ai noted by
different personi, was between 20 and 25 minutes.
past seven, and the duration of each succession was
. variously estimated at from 6 to 3-0 seconds.. The
vibrations appeared at first to pass in a line from
North East to South West, and then to return in
an opposite direthon• They were almost universally
peitepfible to those who were sitting at the time in
the upper apartnents of theiChouses, but' were, In'
a few instances, observed. on the ground floors.—
At one house in Garden Reach, where a party of
eleven was sitting at dinner, the shocks.were very

strongly felt by three of the number seated at one
corner of the table, and also by the three others at
the opposite corner, whiie they pa.sed unobserved
by the rest of the comPany„ Besides the peculiar
sensation experienced in their own persons, by, those
who-witnessed the phenomenon, in many houses a

the central floor of one of the turrets of the Lots
Orphan School at 1-towrah (whichis,a very. old and
infiim building), the force of. the utLtulations was
so considerable, that a couch, on which a person
happened to be reclining, was moved on its castors,
at the fir•t 'shock, to the distance of nearly afoot

again thrown back to its place by the returning

to be accompanied by a noise,,WhiCh they describe

MASTER' CARPENTERS.

, .
.A.question of considerable importance to Master
Carpenters was decided on the trial' of an informa-
tion against Mr,
.Swain,.,a Master carpenter, residing;
in the Borough-road, charging him with having em-
ployed John Boyce as a Journeyman, he not having
served an apprenticeship of seven. years to The trade.
The information was founded •on the statute of the
15th'of Elizabeth, by which it is enacted, that any
master so offending shall Kubjeet himself to a penalty
of two pounds.per month for every month he shall
have employed such man as a journeyman. From
the evidence it appeared that _Boyce had been with
Mr.
,Swain for four years for the purpose.of learn-
ing the trade of a carpenter. For the 'fit-.4 year he
,received, wages at the rate of half a guinea per
week, which increased every year. At the end of
.four years indentures. were executed .between the
patties by wlt;ch• Boyce. agreed 'to continue u ith
Mr. Swain for three years longer; and thereby
maki,9g up;seven years.. At the time of executing
the,indentures, however, Mr. S.A ain told Boyce he
,
.aligui leave pun at any time, as the indentures
%A ere not legal.. Boyce c, minued work4ng with Mr.
Swain; for eight months after, at the weekly wages
of 25 ehilliygs, and then left
