CHARING-CROSS. HOSPITAL,
Strand.-- The urgent and unceasirrg claims upon this
Charity for the relief which it affords to the sick and destitute,
render it necessary for the Committee most earnestly to
APPEAL to the affluent. for this Institutior, which, during
the past year, has admitted nearly 1,100 in-patients, and 4,500
outpatients, including nearly 1,000 cases of accident of almost
every possible description. Unlike the wealthier establish-
ments, possessing ample funds for their maintenance, this
hospital is solely dependent on the voluntary subscriptions and
bequests of the benevolent, for support ; and as the losses which
it has 3u?tained by the death of many of its earliest and kindest
benefactors have recently been very severe, the Charity now
stands greatly in need of assistance. The Committee beg to
state that the arrangements of the Hospital, which are at all
times open to inspection, are regulated by a careful attention
to economy, and that not only the destitute sufferers of the
metropolis, but also of the most remote parts of the country,
when overtaken by severe casualty or sickness, are freely
admitted to its benefits. _ _ __ •__

Donations are thankfully received by the Rev. G. H. Bowers,
13. D., the Treasurer ; and by the Secretary and Clerk at the
Hospital ; and by the neighbouring bankers—Messrs. Drum-
mond, Charing cross ; Messrs. Coutta and Co., Strand ; and

INDIAN NEWS.

DESTRUCTION of the GOORKAII

REGIMENT, at CHARUKAR.

It is with melancholy pleasure that we. publish the
following statement of one of the Goorka .Sepoys be-
longing to the regiment which was cut up in Ko-
histan in November last, soon after the outbreak
of the insurrection. We belieVe it is the first
authentic and detailed narrative of that event which
has been obtained, and of Which the only known
survivors arc Major Pottinger, Lieutenant Haugh
ton, .and the Doctor, in addition to the nar-
rator. The perusal of it will excite the deepest
interest. It exhibits a spirit of exalted courage, and
a patient endurance of suffering in circumstances the
most adverse, which has scarcely a parallel in our
Indian history. And in proportion to the admira-
tion excited by the conduct of this heroic. band while
struggling for more than a fortnight against an over-
whelming force, and the excruciating torture of thirst,
must be our regret at the catastrophe which has con-
signed. such gallantry to an untimely, but not dis-
-honourable, grave. Would that we had a dozen.such
regiments now marching into Affghanistan to retrieve
our lost reputation.
The Sepoy, whose narrative we now publish, ap-
peared in the - Commander -in-Chief's camp on the
12th of the present month, and was conducted to the
tent of the Persian 'interpreter, who took wri747
narrative, and, with the.view of ascertaining the accu-
racy of his recollections, desired him to repeat his
statement the next day, when it was found substan-
tially to agree with his previous account. Itis a plain
and simple tale, and is rendered remarkable by
the absence of anything like boasting or self-con-
ceit. Poor Codrington appears to have been greatly
beloved by his men. Mooteram was greatly affected
when alluding to his sufferings. While speaking of

to refer to the ill-treatment of Lieutenant Houghton,
whom he described as a brave and noble character.
He appears to think that most of the 200 Sepoys
must have been killed, because they offered a despe-
rate resistance ; he himself only made off when by
dint- of fighting and struggling he found himself
clear. On being asked what he thought of the Aff-
ghans, and whether they were not cowards, the hardy
mountaineer replied, " No, no, not cowards ; they
are fine men ; but with anything like equal terms, say
two or even three of them to one of us, we would soon
make clean work of them"—saf ker was his charac-
teristic expression.
NARRATIVE OF' MOOTERAM SINGH, NAICK AND ACTING
HAVILDAR IN THE 6TH COMPANY OF THE 6TH REGI-
MENT, OR GOORKAS, IN THE SERVICE OF THE SHAH

SOOJA-00L-MOOLK.
The regiment was stationed at Charukar, in the
mountainous country, to the north of Caubul, about
18 koss. It was at its full strength of 800 Sepoys.
We had 500 horse composed of men of the country.
and three guns; one was a large, long gun, the others
six-pounders. The artillerymen were Moosulmans,
from the Punjab, and had formerly been in Dost
Mahomed's service. Charukar is a moderate sized
town • our small fort, in which we were lodged, was
at a short distance, perhaps half a koss, from the
town. There was another small fort, called Lugh-
mm-kee-Gurhee, at a koss distance from our fort,
where he had a company on duty, and where Major
Pottinger, Captain Rattray, and the Doctor, lived.
Sometime in the month of liartick (towards the
middle or end of October); Shah Mahmood, with a
son and brother of Meer Musjeedee, the Nijrow Chief,
came to Captain Rattray, saying he had brought
some recruits for the Russalahs (the 500 horse), and
inviting Captain Rattray to go and inspect them.
Accordingly Captain Rattray went, attended by his
Moonshee, who was a Goorka, and understood Eng-
lish, named Mohun Beer. They proceeded till they
found themselves in front of a large body of men, who
forthwith surrounded them. Captain Rattray was
shot by one of them with a pistol, and died almost
instantly. The Moonshee, an active ..man, ran be-
tween the legs of the men surrounding him, and,
getting outside of them, ran for it. Though followed
and fired at by most of them, he . got back with only
a musket shot in his left leg below the knee. The
enemy, several thousands in number, now invested
the fort. Our Kohistanee horsemen deserted us, go-

ing over to the enemy. The fort had no ditch,—or
any external defence. This was about noon. About
three P.m. Lieut. and Adjutant Haughton arrived from
Charukar with two companies. Great numbers of
Kohistanees had by this time assembled from all sides,
but on our apprqach they left the Mydan (open plain)
and- took post in some grape-orchards, between us
and the fort, firing at us from behind the walls.
Finding that our ammunition was getting low, five
out of six bundles of cartridges being expended, we
made a rush and closed with the enemy. When we
got amongst them they lost heart, fought badly, and
even crept under the vines and bushes. We bayoneted
some, and killed many with our Kookrees. The
sahibs said, we had done for a thousand of them,
though we lost only some five or six killed, and as
many wounded. After this the Adjutant returned to
Charukar with the companies. That evening the
enemy again surrounded the Lughman-kee-Gurhce,
keeping the people in it at work all night. Next
day about eight A.m., Adjutant Haughton, with
Quarter Master Salusbury, three companies and a
six pounder, again went to the assistance of Lugh-
man-kee-Gurhee.. The enemy had assembled in
great force, more than 20,000, but they hid them-
selves in various ways, and many lay down covering
themselves over with their choph (sort of grey
cloak), and were not discernible at any distance. As
we neared the fort they came out from their conceal-
ment, and got all round us. We kept them off till
our ammunition ran short, when we retreated fight-
ing' and brought back the six-pounder, as also the
body of Ensign Salusbury, who was killed. We had
100 men killed and 50 wounded, and two artillery-
men killed and three wounded. As we neared the
fort the rest of the battalion came out. There was

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS ( Gratis),
POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery
appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex-
elusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist
upon the public. the notoriously deleterious German Silver
under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c.
&c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material
so that acids do not afiect it ; it is now so well known and
appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver,
can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through-
out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles
that are in silver, from which it can only be told by reference
to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's

Lord 'Brougham, in by
recent speech on the proposed Co-

cyclopaedias, stated, in regard to the Encyclopaedia 13ritannica,
that "he would venture to say, that without any exception,
not even excepting that celebrated work the French Encyclo-
paedia, without even excepting that, there bad been no compi-
lation ever offered to the public, prepared by such a combina-
tion, such a union of the most celebrated literary names of the
age they adorned, as that which he had named. If any work
deserved to be encouraged by Parliament it was this ; and if
any work was not only valuable and useful, but absolutely ne-
cessary for the country, it was this."

PRINCE ALBERT'S HORSE-BRUSH, NEW
INVENTION.
Patronized by her MAJESTY and H. R. H. PRINCE

ALBERT.

(From Anthony White. Esq., Parliament-street, one of the
Council, and late President of the Royal College of
Surgeons)
I can with much" satisfaction recommend to the public the
boot or shoo which is denominated "Impilia.° Its peculiar
advantages over all other boots or 'shoes are, that it is imper-
viable to wet and damp, and always gives an agreeable and
constant warmth to the feet ; is also elastic, and is admirably
adapted to tender and criprded feet from gout or other melndies_

(From Dr. Paris, of Dover-street, London. )
I have examined and worn with egmfort and satisfaction
shoes constructed with intermediate soles of felt, to which you
have bestowed the name " Imptlia.7 They undoubtedly pos-
sess an elasticity and capacity of adaptation to the form of the
foot not possessed by ordinary shoes, and they have the rare
merit of not creaking. They are, moreover, warm and dry,
and I am not able to discover any objection to their use on the
score of health. • J. A. PARIS, NI.D.

• and BB USH MANUFACTURER, by special appoint-
ment to her MA.;ESTY, H. R. H. PRINCE ALBERT, their.
Graces the Dukes of Somerset, Montrose, Northumberland, and
Argyle, the Dowager Duchess of Bedford, and numerous families
of distinction, 33, STRAND, begs to acquaint the Nobility and
Gentry that hehas constructed a HORSE-BRUSH upon anew
principle, suitable for race horses, bunters, and chargers, and
horses if all descriptions. It cleans with half the usual labour.
This unique invention has the power of laying the coat beauti•
fully smooth, at the same time producing a gloss like velvet. It
has only to be tried to be fully appreciated. By its use the
horse has a proper circulation of blood, without troublesome irri-
tation. Also, a newly-invented MANE-BRUSH, for horses'
wanes and tails, to supersede the use of mane combs. Noblemen
and Gentlemen, in town and country, supplied at the' wholesale
prices, and sent carriage free any distance, with the foll Owing arti-
cles for the use Of horses and carriages, at a saving of at least 40
percent. under any house in England. Horse and carriage brushes
'Of every kind. Sponges of. the best•quality, at Aslf.tir saddlers
prices. Chamois horse clothing of every pattern. Horse
blankets, head stalls arid reins, stirrup leathers, saddle girths,
composition for harness, carriage wool mats, bandages, and
every requisite for the use of the stables at wholesale prices.

was thrust through his head, going in at the right
eye. We had a good hard fight. The darkness
favoured us. We captured one out of three large
broad-cloth
.green flags, and got off into the fort with
the water, losing 12 men killed and Jo wounded.
Five men had died of thirst.. We poured some water
down the throa`.s of many who had lost all conscious-
ness, and revived them. The water lasted three days.
The officers themselves served it out in small quan-
tities to those most requiring it ; the men, at times.
almost taking it by force through the frenzy of thirst.
The enemy during all this time continued to annoy
us with their fire ; they made low calls for water,
fired at us with their jeZaits, doing great mischief,
.while our muskets would not carry so far. On the
17th day the water was all gone. We got some
Doombah sheep's flesh to eat for four days. The
fat, and eating the meat nearly raw, in a manner took
off the extremity of our sufferings from thirst. Our
Adjutant now, prohibited us from going out, saying
that so many of us had been killed. Two Affjhans
came in with fruit, and offered to supply us with water
if paid for
,doing so. The sahib gave them some ru-
pees: I dont know how much, but a good large sum.
They told us that they would let off the water so that
it should flow again towards us, and told us what hour
of the night it would come down. We went out to
Meet the water, but they had dealt treacherously, and
we were surprised- by the enemy, and lost five men.
The next day, early, supposing us helpless, the enemy
istretripted' to storm the fort; the shot came in like
a hail storm ; a Bengal Baboo was among the killed, a
shot going into his mouth. By order of the Adjutant
we cut up our tents and those of the officers, with the
suleetahs, and made into bags, filling them with earth
and placing them as a sort of a parapet, and firing
from behind them. In this way four or five days passed.
Men sometimes stole out for water at night, and seve-
ral were killed or wounded in doing so. Our suffer-
ings from thirst were very great. The enemy several
times brought up scaling ladders ; but we shot them
down, so that they relinquished the attempt. We
buried the sergeant-major, and between forty or
fifty men, in a pit dug inside the Fort. The smell
inside had become very bad, from so many sick and
wounded. The enemy constructed a mine,
commencing it in a Faqueer's Takinjah (a
Faqueer's residence, generally walled round),
about a musket-shot north of the Fort; this
I heard afterwards, for their operations were
not perceptible ; and about eight o'clock at.
night of the 24th or 25th day they sprung it under
a bastion. A great many, I don't know how many,
of our people were destroyed. The enemy came
rushing in, but we beat them back, and kept them
out for two hours. The great gun here did good
service ; the Doctor served the vent and Mr. Rose
rammed down. Finding there was nothing to he
done, we sallied out about eleven at night. We had
Major Pottinger and Adjutant Naughton in doolies ;.
and there were some Bunniahs, camp followers, 95
women of the Regiment and a few children, and
about 50 wounded sepoys ' • there were about 200 men
left fit for duty, but weak and parched with thirst.
We got as far as Rara Bagh, 4 koss towards Caubul,
the enemy following us. There the road was deep
and narrow between walls. Here they were, waiting
for us ; we were surrounded. All became'noise and
confusion ; the enemy fired into us, and broke in
among us fifty to one ; I can give no account of
others. We fought as well and as long as we could.
Seeing all was up, I fled towards the hills on our
right, westward, with six others, and passed the re-
mainder of the night as I best could. The ground
was cowered with snow. We remained concealed all
the next day. We had a seer of Atta and a seer of Dal
among us,, brought from the Fort. When it grew
dark we started for Caubul, for we had heard nothing
of the rising there, and reached Hajee Khanke-
killa early in- the morning. Some 10 or 12 horse-
men and 20 footmen came upon us, and stripped
us and robbed us of everything. I had 60 rs. and
two gold mahurs. They were, going to cut us down,
or shoot us, but they spared us when we declared
' ourselves Illoosulmans and repeated the Kubriah. One
Of my companions ran away, and Ido not know
what became of him. I and the five others were
shut up five days in a sort of fort, but the owner of
it, Bowadeon, on my declaring myself a Syad, libera-
ted us, and went with us about a koss towards Jellala-
bad. Proceeding alittle way- on, we were taken by the
followers of a great Sirder, whose name I cannot
recollect (he and Captain Burnes had been intimate
friends, and he had a telescope and other gifts pre-
sented to him by Captain B.), and brought-to a house
and a sort of fort, about four koss off. We were kept
there 20 days. They made us do all sorts of work,
and fed us on the refuse of their meals. I never saw
the chief. He was with his men at Caubul. His son
only was at home, a fine handsome man. Finding
us awkward at our work, he turned. us out to go
wherever we might choose. There was a trader there
from Gurbund with camels. He employed us two
days in tending his camels,' and turned us off
cause one of them died. We found our way naked
and hungry to Caubul, where we remained wander-
ing about, kicked and buffeted, ill-treated and
abused, suffering from cold, hunger, and misery, many
days. I cannot say how long, for I was so wretched
that I heeded not the lapse of time. We joined the
Moam Sahibas when they left the Balla Hissar, and
accompanied them to jugdulluck. Thence, at the
dispersion of the troops, I fled alone across the
mountains northward; at the end of a day and night
I came to a place called Char Bagh, where I found
some Khetre Bunniahs. There is a small fortification
there, and a Dhurumsalah (Serai.) They befriended
me and gave me food three days. There was a
large kafilah of camels there, bringing rods of
various kinds towards India. The Bunniahs took me
with them, secreting me at times in the Suleetahs, and
dressing me as a Faqueer. We crossed the Caubul
river and the Koonur, and came into the country
of Baoo jan Padshah. The Bundiabs were plundered
by the Moosulmans at the seventh day's journey
from Char Bagh. There were two Faqueers travel-
ling with us : I staid with them, taking a road
through a mountainous country, and coming out by
Attoek ; thence I crossed the river and Came to Loo-
dianah via Eawul Pindee, Lahore, and -Umrutsir,.. on
10th March, 1842.

and have not been heard of. We continued to•make
good our ground outside our fort, having the guns
also with us, for 12 days. We had a small quantity
of water in a hole, near the fort, formed by excavating
when building up the mud walls of the fort. Each
man had a seer of it the firstday, less and less daily till
it was all consumed. Captain Codrington had his left

hey are not only much more
agreeable to the sole Of the foot, but promote a warm and uni-

tering from without or derived from the feet. It may not be
amiss to observe that, to obtain the full benefit of this improve-
ment, it is essential that the pernicious distortion of the foot,
so generally inflicted by the shoemaker, should be carefully
avoided. THOMAS HODGKIN, 111. D.

I have worn with satisfaction the boots with the intermed ate
soles of " Impilia." They appear to me to possess advantages
over boots of the usual construction. They are worn with
more comfort, adapt themselves better to the form of the foot,
and are impervious to wet. . Joitti C. TAUNTON.

PESTILENTIAL EFFLUVIA IN THE
ZE EN-AND 3c HOOR D CATJBUL PASSES..
A 31ed(ea1 Correspondent has pointed out to us
source : of obstruction to the advance of our armies
on Caubul by the line of Jellalabad and Khoord Caubul,
to . which we have not hitherto adverted. It is not
only fearful in its magnitude, -but sad and inise-
ruble indeed,' in its nature ; and even. were it
not -.too. to prove the source of disease
and death: to our troops, is sufficiently terrible to fill
the hearts of the- stoutest with dismay. Betwixt
the entrance of Khoord Caubul and the frightful
gorge, at Jugdulluck is a distance of thirty miles :
over this •• melancholy space are at this moment
strewed the bodies of 15,000 unburied dead, with
beasts of burthen probably to the extent of about
4 or 5,000 more. The bulk Of them will, in all
likelihood, be found in the '-Khoord Caubul and TCZeen
passes themselves, about 9 miles in length : how long,
alas, must these remain vast receptacles ofunsepulchred
bones! Preserved for several months from putrefac-
tion as these sad relics must have been by the snow ;
from the present date, till the setting in of winter
again freeze them, and from the ensuing spring once
more to the following winter, they must form reser-
voirs of effluvia as intolerable, in its stench as fatal in
its malarious effects on the constitution. The mias-
mata inhaled at Ali -Ainid seems to have at one time
sent nearly one half of General Pollock's army to the
hospital. • To account for the existence of a putrid
atmosphere in the Kybcr pass is most difficult : it
would be far more so to explain how it was possible
for any other to exist in Tezeen and Khoord Caubul
for years to come.

arm shattered by a musket ball on the 3d day,.
but continued with the corps, using a sling till
the Bth day, when a ball entered his left breast and
passed out through his back. He died two days af-
terwards. Major Pottinger was also shot on the Bth
day, through the left thigh with a musket ball. We
suffered much from thirst, . some men quite mad from
it. On the 12th day the enemy came down in great
numbers, shouting and beating drums, threatening to
exterminate us, vowing to say their Namaz (Mahome-
dan prayer) inside the fort that day. We fought hard.
Our gun ammunition was expended, and we rammed
down ha,ndfulls of our musket practice ammunition
halls. We killed and badly wounded 1,-500 of them,
(so the sahibs said, and so we thought too) and beat
them hack; but more came on, and it wa.s like taking
a lota of water out of the Ganges. On the 13th day
they gave us little trouble, seeing our desperate state,
and knowing that we should perish of thirst. We
had been five days without water. This day the Ar-
tillery men deserted. Captain llaughton, our Ad-
jutant,
while trying to prevent them, had his fore arm
chopped off, and his neck badly cut, with a sabre. We
yof the .guns inside the fort, placing the six pounders
on a bastion and the large gun in the gateway. We
had no gate or door, none having been put up, nor
any means of dosing the entrance. On the night of
the 13th day sem: of the men stole out, • found water
in the vicinity, and brought some wet clothes, from
which they wrung out the water into the mouths of
their relatives and friends. Mr. Rose, seeing this,
spoke cheerfully to us, saying that he would soon get
plenty of water for us. Accordingly, about tweWe' at
night of the 14th day, he took 100 men (I was one),
,every man carrying a water 'vessel of some sort, the
Bbeesitez of the Begimenti and others, and went out
in thg. direction of the town. We came to a sort of
cut or trench, nto which they bring water from the
fillls.forintiga4ng the fields:' It was breast deep. We
all drank our bellies full. The water was so sweet,
we filled our -vessels and began our return ; but missed
the way, and stumbled on the enemy's camp. They,

Mahood's own tent.' lie was shot, and a • bayonet
