in two places; in the evening one was reported practi-
cable by the engineer. It is with heartfelt satisfaction I
communicate the following:—A storming-party was pre-
pared to storm at daybreak this morning—two columns
under the command of Major Clemons, of the 20th Regi-
ment Madras Native Infantry. At daybreak the first
column entered and stormed the breach, closely followed
by the second. All opposition was soon overcome, and in
half an hour the storming-party had entire possession of the
fort of Samanghur. All have behaved in a most gallant
manner. Lieutenant Margery, Executive Engineer, was
with the leading column. The loss on our side has been
trifling: one Sepoy of the 20th Regiment Madras Native
Infantry killed, and four privates of the 2d European
Light Infantry wounded. About seventy were found
killed of the enemy, and 150 taken prisoners in the fort.
On the storming parties entering the fort, numbers
endeavoured to make their escape, but were cut up by
the cavalry, who were patrolling for that purpose.
Numbers have been taken prisoners attempting to escape,
among the number the rebel Subana Niekum, of noto-
riety, who has been severely wounded by sabre cuts.
The cavalry and portions of the storming party had
scarcely returned to their lines when the enemy were
discovered on an eminence in considerable numbers,
when I deemed it necessary to send the cavalry in pur-
suit, followed by 100 Europeans and 200 Sepoys. The I
enemy being closely pursued, formed into a body to
receive the cavalry, who charged them and killed up-
wards of 100, and brought into camp nearly 200 pri-
soners.

TO THE ADJUTANT-GENERAL OP THE ARMY, POONA.

Sir,—With reference to my letter of yesterday's date,
hastily written, reporting, for his Excellency's informa-
tion, the capture of the important fortress of Satnanghur,
I now do myself the honour to forward Lieutenant-Colo-
nel Wallace's detailed account of the operations of the
siege, and that officer's arrangements, which from time
to time met with my entire concurrence and approbation :
the energy, activity, and skilful military knowledge dis-
played by that officer were fully developed in the dispo-
tions made for the attack and storming of the breach at
the dawn of day, to which I attribute the little loss we
have sustained ; the advance was fired upon from the
breach and flanks ; but a feeble resistance was made at
the breaoh ; the principal leaders taken in the fort ac-
knowledged they were taken by surprise ; many, how-
ever, defended their houses inside the fort.
I have now the pleasing task of reporting the valuable
services of Captain Graeme, and the wing of the sth
Regiment of Madras Cavalry under his command, who
arrived from Kolapore just in time, after a most arduous
and fatiguing march, to render us most important aid,
in preventing the escape of the garrison, which was
most successfully carried into execution, and imme-
diately after, the complete destruction of a body of
the enemy, who had the temerity to approach within
three miles of our camp, to succour the garrison of Sa-
manghur, and which I was as eye-witness to.
Captain Grfeme's report is attached to Lieut.-Cal. Wal-
lace's, together with Major Clemong and other officers',
Latih.,),,,A oil tins oceasiun in command of their several
parties, to which I beg to refer his Excellency, together
with the report of casualties, which, I am truly happy to
state, are few in number.
To Lieut.-Colonel Wallace I am particularly indebted
for his zeal and persevering exertions on all occasions ;
and I should not be doing justice were I to omit to bring
to his Excellency's notice the praiseworthy conduct of
every officer and individual composing this force, who
have on all and every occasion, under great privation,
fatigue, and inclemency of the weather, carried on their
duty in a most cheerful and soldier-like manner.—l have
the honour to be, &c. (Signed)

To THE LADIES.—The high and universal cele-
brity which ROWLAND'S RALYDOR continues to main-
tain, as an active yet mild and soothing extirpator of all
impurities of the skin, is, during the present period most
pleasingly evinced. This preparation eminently balsamic,
restorative, and invigorating, is equally celebrated for
safety in application, as for unfailing efficacy in remov-
ing all impurities and discolorations ; and imparting a
healthy freshness to the skin and complexion. Its uni-
versally great demand excites the cupidity of unprin-
cipled Shopkeepers, who give the title of " Genuine"
KALYDOR to some compounds of their own manufacture,
of the most deleterious character, containing mineral
a,tringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and, by
their repellant action endangering health. It is, there-
fore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words
" ROWLAND'S KAILYDOR” are on the wrapper. All others

TRAVELLING FOR LESS THAN A FARTHING PER
MILE.—The competition between the Forth and Clyde
Canal Company and the Edinburgh Railway is so strong,
that the Canal Company now carry passengers from
Glasgow to Edinburgh, with profit, at less than a far-
thing a mile! So much for the benefits of opposition to
the public, when the opposing parties are in earnest.
Since the reduction of fairs by the Canal Company,
about a year ago, the increase of passengers nearly ex-
ceeds belief, being 235 per cent. increase upon the day
through passenger trade, and 209 per cent. by the night
boats. The last half-yearly report of the Company,
from which we glean these results, further states, that
all this has been accomplished " at an extra expense not
exceeding thirty pounds." This great increase of pas-
sengers has again been exceeded by the returns for the
last month, and we have little doubt that the Canal Com-
pany will find that they never did anything more for the
benefit of the proprietors than the reduction they have
made in the fares.—Glasgow Saturday Pest,

the turbans were passed like ropes, affording rowdy
means of letting themselves down ; but though many
succeeded in thus escaping from the fort, all were either
killed or taken prisoners by the infantry close round the
fort, or by the cavalry patrolling at the base of the hill
upon which .the fort stands. My belief that none escaped
is founded upon the circumstance of the numbers of the
enemy killed, wounded, and prisoners taken during the
storm.

I beg to report that the arrangements directed by ma
during the night of the 12th, were fully carried out on the
morning of the 13th, by the several officers commanding,
and completely succeeded by the zeal and gallantry dis-
played by the officers, non-commissioned officers, rank
and file, both European and native, of each arm of the
service employed upon this occasion, to all of whom my
thanks are specially due.
To Major Clemons, of the 20th Regiment Native In-
fantry, commanding the storming party, and to Captaias
Gillandera and Jones, of the 2d Bombay European Light
Infantry, commanding the right and left attacking co-
lumns, I feel highly indebted for the manner the storm-
ing party was led, and the arrangements made to beat
the enemy out of the fort, after the. troops had carried
the breach.

To Captain Grteme, of the sth Madras Cavalry, my
thanks are due for the effectual measures he adopted to
prevent the escape of the garrison during the storm, and
for the prompt movement and energetic attack sub-
sequently made upon a large body of the enemy, assem-
bled about two miles upon a hill in his front. Having
been present and seen the zeal and gallantry displayed
by Captain Greeme and his wing, when charging the
enemy, enables me to express my thanks and acknow-
ledgments to Captain Grmme and his wing for their
conduct on` this brilliant-occasion, by -which a large body
of the enemy were completely broken and dispersed,
leaving between 200 and 300 of their number dead upon
the field, and about 150 prisoners. My thanks are also
due to Captain Middlecoat for the measures he adopted
to knock away the defences and effecting the two
breaches, as also to Lieutenant Margery, the command-
ing engineer, who, together with Lieutenant Campbell,
of the 2d European Light Infantry, first ascended the
breach, closely followed by the storming party.
I cannot conclude without giving expression to the
feelings of pride and gratification I cannot but entertain
when an officer of Lieut.-Col. Outram's high character,
well-known gallantry, and established fame, placed his
valuable services at my disposal not only during the
storm of the fort of Sanianghur, but during the subse-
quent operations on the same day, of the wing of the
sth Light Cavalry under Captain Grreme, against a large
body of the enemy ; on both these occasions Lieut.-Col.
Outram's services were valuable, and I have requested
Lieut.-Col. Outram, C. 8., in this day's order, to accept
ray best thanks and grateful acknowledgments.
During the several operations carried on yesterday,
both against the fort of Samanghur and on the plains,
the losses sustained by the enemy in killed may be com-
puted at between 500 and 600, and of prisoners about
the same number, making a total of about 1,100 or 1,200
men, among whom are several chiefs and influential men;
whilst the loss on our side was trifling, which I entirely
attribute to the zeal and ability of the several officers,
and the energetic gallantry of the troops engaged, under
the protection and guidance of a merciful Providence.
I beg to append reports from Major Clemons, Captains
Grteme and Strettel, marked A, B, C, 1), and E : the
return of killed and wounded is herewith transmitted.

It is a source of great satisfaction to me that the
Major-General commanding the division was present,
and observed the several operations carried on against
the fort of Samanghur, and the cavalry attack on the
plains.—l have the honour to be, &c.,

TO THE OTAFF OFFICER, FIELD FORCE,CAIIP, SAMANOMIR.
Fort Samanghur, Oct. 13, 1844.
f ,Sir,—Agreeably to the orders received from the officer
commanding field force, I have the honour to report I
took command of the storming party this morning, which
was divided into two separate columns ; the first (2) was
commanded by Captain Jones, 2d B. E. Light Infantry,
and the second (3), by Capt. Gillanders, 2d B. E. Light
Infantry. By daybreak the first party entered and
stormed the breach, closely followed by Captain Gillan-
ders. All opposition was soon overcome, and in half an
hour the storming party under my command had entire
possession of the fort of Samanr,hur. When all have
behaved with gallantry, it is difficult to particularise, but
I feel much pleasure in bringing to the notice of the
officer commanding the gallant conduct of both Captain
Gillanders and Captain Jones, commanding the two par-
ties, nobly and ably supported by all the officers under
their respective commands. Also the Rifle Company of
the 16th Regiment, under Lieutenant Shaw, which did
good service in covering our advance. My thanks are
due to Lieutenant and Adjutant White, who ably sup-
ported and was present with me when Ensign Robson
planted the British ensign on the breach, and which was
carried there by Havildar Nuraiyin Abidiah.
I must beg to bring to the notice of the officer com-
manding that Lieutenant Margery, Engineers, was pre-
sent with the leading column and ably supported the
attack. _ _ _ _

The loss on our side, I am happy to report, is trifling;
one Sepoy Light Company 20th Regiment killed,:and four
privates of the Europeans wounded; about 70 of the
enemy were killed, and I coneeive about 150 prisoners
were taken in the fort.
I have assumed command of the fort agreeably to the
orders of Lieutenant-Colonel Wallace, and have made
the necessary arrangements for its protection and the
preservatio❑ of order.—l have the honour to he, &c.,
