NOTIFICATION.

Fort William, January 31, 1842.
Intelligence having been received which leaves no room to
doubt that, after the British fqree, at Cabool, had maintained
its position against overpowering numbers of insurgents for
more than six weeks, the officer commanding had judged it
necessary, in consequence of a failure of provisions, to agree to
a convention with the enemy, and to retire, in reliance of the
faith of that convention, towards Jellalabad, when the troops,
exposed to the worst rigours of cold and privation in the moun-
tain defiles, and harassed by treacherous attacks, suffered ex-
treme disaster,—the Governor-General in Council deems it
proper to notify, that the most active measures have been
adopted, and will be steadfastly prosecuted, for expediting
powerful reinforcements to the Affgban frontier, and for assist-
ing such operations as may be required in that quarter for the
maintenance of the honour and interests of the British Go-
vernment.

The ample military means at the disposal of the British Go-
vernment will be strenuously applied to these objects, so as at
once to support external Operations, and to ensure efficient
protection to its subjects and allies.
A faithless enemy, stained by the foul crime of assassination.
has, through a failure of supplies, followed by consummate
treachery, been able to overcome a body of British troops, in a
country removed by distance and difficulties of season,
from the possibility of succour. But the Governor-
General in Council, while he most deeply laments the
loss of brave officers and men. t egards this partial reverse only
as a new occasion for displaying the stability and vigour of the
British power, and the admirable spirit and valour of the Bri-
tish Indian army.
_

By order of the Right Hon. the Governor-General of India
in Conned, T. H. MADDOCK,
Secretary to the Government of India.

The plan of the new prison of La Force, the in-
tended erection et which we have noticed, is in the form of an
open fan, composed of six different buildings diverging from
one point. At this point will he placed the inspection-room,
from which all the corridors will he visible. Above this room
will be the chapel, the altar of which may be seen from all the
six passages, which will be divided by five open courts. The
buildings for the director and his officers will be in front and
distinct from the fan, 'and have an entrance court from the
Boulevard. The prison will contain 1,216 cells, of which
1,000 will be for ordiniry purpows, and 216 reserved for
baths. &c. Besides these there will be between 200 and 300
under-ground dungeons. The erection will he two stories
high, above the ground-floor, and will be entirely constructed
of stone and iron.

At an Laster parish meeting the other day, a fe-
male having been nominated to serve the office of overseer for
the ensuing year, it was objected to by some of the parish-
ioners, upon which she indignantly exclaimed, that as they
had a woman for a king, she did not see why they should not
have a woman for overseer. She persisted in the appointment,
which was afterwards duly confirmed.—Essex Herald.
COUNTY MEETING.—The agriculturists of the
county are about to make a general move against the legisla-
tive measures which so seriously affect their interests. We have
just learned that Lord Rarleigh and Lord Western have, at
the instance of several of the leading farmers of the neigh-
bourhood, signed a requisition requesting the High Sheriff to
convene a county meeting at an early day, to take into consi-
deration the alterations proposed in the Corn-laws and in the
tariff.—Essex Herald.
SUICIDE AT CIIATIIAII.—A melancholy case of
self-destruction occurred on Thursday evening in Ordnance-
place, Chatham. The Rev. J. Porter, head master of the
Proprietary School, after attending to his scholastic duties as
usual, having retired to bed, with a penknife opened an artery
in the thigh, and is supposed to have died in the short space of
two or three minutes. The Rev. Gentleman was highly
esteemed. No cause has been assigned for the melancholy
catastrophe.--Essex Herald.
