FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
WINDSOR CASTLE, OCT. 17.
An address of congratulation on the birth of his
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, from the in-
habitants of the colony of Western Australia, was
this day presented to his Royal Highness Prince Al-
bert, by the Marquis of Exeter; which address his
Royal Highness was pleased to receive very graciously.
DOWNING-STREET, Ocr. 18.
A dispatch and its inclosures, of which the follow-
ing are copies, have been received from Lieutenant-
General Sir Hugh Gough, K.G. C.B. :
Head Quarters, Chapo, May 20, 1842.
Mr LORD—My dispatch to 3rour Lordship of the
18th April, will have led your Lordship to expect my
present communication, announcing the attack on and
capture. of Chapo, by her Majesty's military and naval
forces. I shall leave to Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker
to detail the movements and operations of the naval
part of the expedition,
merely observing, that the
same unity of action and of co-operation has existed,
which have hitherto, under Divine Providence, so
materially tended to the successful result of every
operation ; and that I have experienced the most cor-
dial and effective assistance, not only from the Ad-
miral, but from the several Captains and officers of
her Majesty's and the Indian navy.
I shall now beg leave to detail, with as much
brevity as possible, our military movements since the
evacuation of Ningpo, which event Was effected In a
most satisfactoy manner on tIA 7ffinstant, leaving,
I trust, among 'the inhabitants of that part Of the
Chekiang province, a deep feeling of respect and
gratitude for the orderly and forbearing conduct of
the British soldiers, and proving, that while pressing
on the Government, and overthrowing every opposing
display of military force, it has been our object to
protect the Chinese population of every class and grade
as much as lay in our power.
The fleet could, notwithstanding the unceasing exer-
tions of Sir W. Parker, only leave the anchorage of Just
in the Way on the 13th inst., when he had assembled
the ships from Chusan, Chinhaee, and Ningpo, and in
consequence of the extraordinary strength of the
tides in the Tseentang river, we only reached the
anchorage off this city on the evening of the 17th ;
Sir W. Parker and myself, however, had an opportu-
nity, the preceding day, to make a most satisfactory
reconnoissance, in the two smaller steamers, of the
defences of this place, when we decided on the points
of disembarkation and the line of conjoint operations
we deemed advisable for the different arms under our
respective commands.
Having had but imperfect information, we could
not exactly ascertain the position and defences of the
city of Chapo, but we had a very satisfactory exami-
nation of the defences of the heights which command.
it, and which extend from three to four miles to the
eastward, as well as of the batteries which defend the
suburbs, and apparently a branch of the Imperial
Canal, which runs almost round the walls; these
heights were strengthened by several breast-works,
both in their gorges and along their sides, and small
enclosed joss-houses crowned their summits. On the
extreme right appeared two batteries commanding the
anchorage. On these heights, and within the breast-
works and batteries, some thousands Chinese soldiers
showed themselves, but not a shot was fired at the
steamers although they passed and repassed within
very short range.
of the city,
From all I could see of the defences on the heights,
and from all I could learn of the position
I felt assured that I could turn the whole of the for-
mer, and if rapidly executed, cut off all the troops left
to defend these heights, but if I should fail in that
object I had hopes of being able to enter the city with
the fugitives. A bay about four miles to the eastward
presented a good point of debarkation, whatever might
he the force of the opposing enemy; in
and
consulta-
tion with Sir W. Parker, we decided on this point,
covering the operations by the steamers and small
vessels of war, while the Cornwallis, Blonde, and i
Mo-
deste
were to take up their positions n front of the
western batteries already named, and of the suburb
batteries on the extreme right.
The troops named in the margin* were directed to
be prepared to go on board the steamers at daylight
on the morning of the 18th, and the whole force, in-
cluding the light field train, was successfully landed
by eight o'clock, under the able superintendence of
Commander Richards, of her Majesty's ship Corn-
wallis, to whom I feel much indebted for his judicious
and effective arrangements and zealous exertions.
The right column, which I accompanied, landed
first, and occupied a commanding height, without
opposition, covering the disembarkation of the re-
mainder of the force : when the whole were landed
and formed, I directed Colonel Schoedde, supported
by the artillery under Lieut.-Colonel Montgomerie,
in furtherance of the views I have already announced,
to move as rapidly as possible round the base of the
heights, so as to get in rear of the enemy, and cut off
his communication with the city, which now appeared
within the range of heights already described, while
the right column was directed to mount the summit,
successively attacking the several works and joss
houses as they proceeded. The combined attack on
both flanks commenced at the same moment, the
steamers shelling the breast works in the centre. It
afforded me the greatest satisfaction, as I crowned
each succeeding height, to find my most sanguine
hopes realised by the rapid but collected movement of
the left column, under Colonel Schoedde, passing
between the heights and the city, and obliging the
enemy, instead of retreating on it, to move along
the heights, which were now,• one after the other,
carried by the right column with the usual spirit dis-
played by the corps composing it. The whole of the
enemy's troops soon became a mass of fugitives,
throwing away their
.arms, and flying in every direc-
tion,fiselveswsiuthrrotbuendeex(ci,epttoloonk

house and
enclosure, which they defended with wonderful ob-
stinacy, and would not surrender until the house was
in flames from our rockets and breached by powder-
bags, judiciously placed by Captain Pears, when not
above fifty, and these mostly wounded, could be in-
duced to submit as prisoners. During these opera-
tions, I witnessed, with much satisfaction, the alacrity
with which Captain• Simpson, of the Rifle Company,
Madras Native Infantry, brought up his company,
and the spirited manner in which the sepoys pressed
the enemy, keeping up the communication between
the two columns. Perceiving that the enemy had
destroyed the bri▪ dge leading to the east gate, I
directed the left column to occupy a height close
to and commanding the south-east angle of the city
wall, and Lieut.-Colonel Montgomerie, with his
usual good judgment and alacrity, soon brought his
guns into action, effectually covering our advance on
this point. I directed the Rifles to occupy the houses
close to the wall, to cover the grenadiers of the
55th, and the Sappers, who were
directed to ascer-
tain the depth of a canal that intervened. Lieut.
Gordon, attached to the Sappers, fortunately found a
small boat, with which he crossed (finding the canal
not fordable), and he secured two others of consider-
able size at the opposite side,with which we crossed over
the grenadiers, 55th, under Bt.-Major M‘Lean, and
a body of Sappers with scaling ladders, and the walls
were soon in possession of the left column. I deem
it right here to observe, that I was much assisted in
crossing this canal by Captain Watson, of her Ma-
jesty's ship Modeste, who joined m e at the moment
with a few seamen from that ship. 'laving .
col-
lected the force on the wall, Parker, with
the seamen and marines, soon joined me, and we
moved round the city, when I had the several gates
occupied. Perceiving a body of the enEmy in re.
treat towards Hong-choo, I directed the 55th to
pursue, and bring them to action if possible ; but
having had to make the
circle of the walls (three
miles), as I did not wish to move the force into
the city until the gates were occupied, the Chinese
had got so far in advance, that

such good order, as I anticipated from the im-

or even ginjals, mounted on them.
Notwithstanding, we have found several arsenals,

a foundry, and a gunpowder manufactory, which, of

course, I have ordered to be destroyed, merely taking
off the few (11) brass guns. The Chinese appear to
have placed all their reliance on the positions on the
heights, and possibly on the supposition of the im-
practicability of landing a large force within the in-
fluence of such extraordinary currents.
Chapo has this peculiarity, that about a fourth of
the city is separated from the rest by a wall, within
which alone•the Tartars reside. This has much the
appearance and arrangement of our native canton-
ments, but that the houses are infinitely superior.
Every male adult would appear to be a soldier, as in
every house two or three matchlocks, with a quantity
of swords, bows, and arrows, were found. This would
appear to be a Mantchoo privilege, as the Chinese
troops have theirs collected in arsenals.
The strength of the Chinese force it is difficult to
estimate. From the best sources of information, I
would say they had about 8,000 men in the city and
on the heights, 1,700 of whom were Mantchoo Tar-
tars. I calculate their loss to be about from 1,200 to
1,500 men.
I regret to feel obliged to remark that my loss is
greater than I had anticipated, though small when
the strength of the position, and, for a time, the ob-
stinate defence of the Chinese is taken into conside-
ration. I beg to inclose a list of the killed and
wounded ; and here I may be permitted to express
my deep regret at the loss to the service and to his
country of Lieutenant-Colonel Tomlinson. of the Royal
Irish, who fell at the head of his corps in the full career
of renown, honoured -by that- corps, lamented by all.
I have also been deprived of the valuable services of
Lieutenant-Colonel Mountain, who has received three
severe, but I trust, not dangerous wounds. The uni-
form zealous conduct of this meritorious Staff Officer
I have had frequent opportunities of witnessing
and pleasure of recording. I fear also I shall for a
considerable time be deprived of the services of Cap-
tain Campbell, of the 55th, who is dangerously
wounded, and whose spirited conduct at Chusan I
felt called on to notice. Every possible attention
has been paid 'to alleviate the sufferings of my other
wounded officers and soldiers by Dr. French, Super-
intending Surgeon, whose zealous exertions are un-
ceasing, and I am most thankful to find all are
doing well.
The conduct of the whole force calls for my
marked approbation. To Colonel Schoedde, Lieu-
tenant-Colonels Morris and Montgomerie, com-
manding columns, my best thanks are due : they
well executed every order they received, and were
as well supported by the several commanding
officers of corps and detachments : Lieutenant-
Colonel Pratt, 26th Regiment; Lieutenant-Colonel
Stephens, 49th ; Lieutenant-Colonel Knowles,
Royal Artillery ; Major Fawcett, 55th ; Brevet-
Major Grattan, 18th Royal Irish, subsequent to the
lamented fall of Lieutenant-Colonel Tomlinson ;
Major Anstruther, Madras Artillery; and Captain
Simpson, Rifle Company, 36th Madras Native
Infantry ; all of whom merit my warmest thanks •
as do likewise the general and my personal Staff,
from whom I received the most effective assistance
and support,—all having accompanied me through-
out the operations, in a country where every order
had to be conveyed by an officer on foot, over most
difficult ground, and frequently to a considerable
distance. I have particularly to express my sense
of obligation to Major Gough, who had, combined
with his duties as Deputy Quartermaster General,
to act for Lieutenant-Colonel Mountain, for the (I
trust temparory) loss of whose services I have
already expressed my regret. My best thanks are
also due to Captain Pears, Field Engineer, who
afforded me every assistance ; and I beg to bring to
your Lordship's notice my senior Aide-de-Camp, Capt.
'Whittingham. I shall now, my Lord, conclude with
the assurance, although I am aware as a British sol-
dier it is superfluous, that the force entrusted to my
command has but one common object in the bright
career which I anticipate for it—an anxious wish to
do their duty to their Sovereign, and to meet the ex-
pectations of their country.—l have, &c.,

GENERAL ORDERS by Lieut.-General Sir Hugh
Gough, K.G. C. 8., Commanding Expeditionary
Land Forces, dated Head -Quarters, Chapo City,
May 19, 1842.
The Lieutenant-General has again to congratulate
h!s brave comrades on another very brilliant achieve-
ment, executed with their usual gallantry, by the
Chinese expeditionary force.
Sir Hugh Gough's best thanks are due to all ranks,
and he again has to request Officers in command of
corps and detachments to convey to their respective
officers and soldiers his highest sense of approbation.
The Lieutenant-General commanding cannot deny
himself the melancholy gratification of recording the
deep feelings of regret he has experienced at the loss
of one of our brightest ornaments, Lieutenant-Colonel
Tomlinson, 18th Royal Irish, who fell at the head of
his corps, nobly doing his duty. His honourable re-
mains will be committed to the deep to-morrow, in
accordance with the expressed wishes of his brother
officers.
The Lieutenant-General is happy to announce that
Lieutenant-Colonel Mountain, C. 8., Deputy Adju-
tant-General, whose zealous exertions have been so
frequently recorded, is doing well, as are also the
other wounded officers and men.—By order.

r HE CHINESE COLLECTION
IL ST. GEORGE'S-PLACE, HYDE PARK CORNER.

This Splendid Collection, consisting of Objects Exclusively
Chinese, surpassing in extent and grandeur- any similar display
in the known world, entirely filling the spacious saloon, 225
feet in length, by 50 feet in width ; embracing upwards of
Fifty Figures as large as life, all fac-similes, in groups, in
their native costumes, from the highest mandarin to the blind
mendicant in kis patched garment. Ms., many thousand spe-
cimens, both in Natural History and Miscellaneous Curiosi-
ties, illustrating the appearance, manners, and customs of more
than Three Hundred Million Chinese, respecting whom the
Nations of Europe have had scarcely any opportunity of judg-
ing, IS NOW O''EN for Public Inspection from Ten in the
Morning till Ten at Night, _ _ _

pICKFORD and CO. have been informed of a
Reduction by the Agents of the Grand Junction Rail-
way Company in their rate of Manchester Goods, amounting
to ss. per Ton.

In announcing to their friends their intention, for the pre-
sent at least, to follow thin reduction, they venture to remind
them that for the last two years they have succeeded in defeat-
ing repeated attempts on the part of the Grand Junction Rail--
way Company to obtain a monopoly of this business, and have,
during that time, carried the goods at the very lowest possible
sum above the tonnages they have had to pay.
. The present alteration in charge has been managed by the
same parties as thoge above alluded to, and the inansediate,re-
salt,.us far its irckford and Co. are able to ascertain it, will be
a very serious loss to them.
Believing, however, that it is as important to the public as
to themselves that the Carriers should not be driven from this
trade, they earnestly solicit a continuance of the support they
have hitherto received, and by which they have been enabled
so long to maintain their position as Manchester Carriers.

GREAT WESTERN STEAMER.—WO copy the fol-

day :—BRIsTor., OCT. 17.—The Great Western steam-
ship was offered for sale by public auction this dav,
at two o'clock, and, after some very spirited bidding,slie
was bought in to be sold by private contract at 40,0001.
—A report has prevailed in the city this morning that
the Great Western steam-ship would not leave for

STAFFORD, MONDAY NlGHT.—Ellis's wife and
father-in-law have been to see the unhappy convict.
The wife, who is rather an interesting looking
woman, was sadly disappointed and shocked upon
her last visit to the gaol,
not allowed to enter the
and, instead of one, as wy)Nairideninen sh\evhfoicuhndbed thisatcoshnefinwe-asa,
was as the case before his con-
viction, that two iron railings about fifteen feet dis-
tant from each other, separated them, while a turn-
keypresent during the interview. When the
time allowed her to see him had elapsed, she burst
into tears, and exclaimed, " I thought they would
have allowed me to kiss you." Ellis hunself, although
naturally of a stern sullen temper, was greatly moved,
and even shed tears on the occasion. But he still
holds the hope and tells his wife, that he is satisfied
that he will not be transported, as he is totally inno-
cent of the crime (arson) laid to his charge. His
father-in-law, who is much respected in the Potteries,
and is considered to be a man in good circumstances,
has taken his daughter and her three children to his
own house. Petitions are being forwarded to the
Home-office in his favour.
The Italian Opera season has opened at Paris but
languidly. Donnizetti, however, has arrived, or is
hourly expected there, to bring out his " Linda de
chamouny," and Madame Viardot Garcia is engaged.
Lablache has been dangerously ill ; sickness, too, has
overtaken his great German compeer, Staudigl, and
the Vienna papers express most disheartening doubts
whether that admirable artist will ever be able to re,
turn to the stage. Another of the novelties promised
for the coming Parisian Opera season, which WC.
hardly look for on this side of the channel, is the
Nabucadonosor" Verdi.—Athenatun.
