In announcing the Continuation of the " Animal Kingdolosh
and the Commencement of-tjte " Fossil Osteology," the Editat has
the satisfaction of stating, that these Works will, in future, be ho-
noured with occasional aid fiom the Baron Cooler himself, who has
most liberally offered to communicate to the Editor such new facts
and discoveries, both in existing and in fossil organization, as may
arise pending rite publication of the Works. The translation of the
I justly celebrated " Theory of the Earth," which forms the Intro-
ductory Discourse to the Ossemens Fossiles," will be from the
Baron's Manuscript, with important additions and corrections, pre-
pared for a new edition of that work, which he is about to publish.
Major C. Hamilton Smith, F.R.S. &c. &c. etc. with the most
distinguished liberality, has also gratuitously offered the use of his.
immense collection of original drawings, now exceeding 6000 spe-
cies,-together with his Notes on many genera of the Mammiferous
tribes. The Monograph on the Antelopes, with a great number of
new 'peones, will be from his pen, and the figures entirely from
his pencil.
Nb additions to the Fossil Osteology will be inserted, except those
of its illustrious Author ; and the translation will be as literal as the
corresponding idioms of the two languages will allow. The plates
will be engraved, if possible, in a superior style to those of the ori-
ginal; and the Work will be published at a considerably less price.-

INDIA BOARD, NOVEMBER 29.
Dispatches have been received at the E tst
House, from the Governor-General in Council, at Furt
William, with inclosures, of which the following are.
extracts and copies:
Extract from a Letter from the Governor-General in Council to
the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors, dated Fort
William, 26th Apri1,1924.
We have much satisfaction in reporting the success
which has attended our open ations against Assam. After
considerable delays, occ.:voned by the difficulty in pro-
curing boat.. and supplies, Brigadier M'Mmine moved
forward with the force under his command, consisting
of the Rungpore light infantry, Chumparum ditto, and
Dinagepore local battalion, with the flotilla of gun.
boats, on the 22d ultimo, and reached Gowahati, the
capital of Carnroop, on the western d•vision of Assam,
on the 28th ultimo, without experiencing the slightest
resistance, notwithstanding the strength of several of
the enemy's positions, and the natural difficulties of the
country. The native Chiefs of Assam have waited upon
Brigadier M'Morine, and have manifested the most
friendly disposition, but have not as yet afforded any
effectual assistance. The Burmese, after evacuating
several strong stockades in succession, without firing a
shot, appear to be in full retreat towards Ava. They -
have committed several atrocious and sanguinary mur-
ders; and we regret to say that there is little chance of
our troops overtaking them, as the advanced state of the
season, and other unavoidable circumstances, had pre.
vented our further forward movement.
The Agent to the Governor-General, Mr. Scotts
on hearing of the occupation-of Gowahati by our troops,
proceeded across the hilly track which intervenes be-
tween Sythet and Assam, to join Brigadier M'Morine,
with an escort ofthree companies of the 23d native in•
fantry-; and private accounts have been received from;
Sylhet, by which it appears that he had arrived in the
neighbourhood of Gowahati on the 13th instant, with.
out 'experiencing any difficulties or loss by the way.
Copy of a Deport front Captain Noon to rite Major of Brigade at
Chittagong, dated Camp, Ramoo, lids May, 1854.
Fit a—On the 9th instant, a naik, from the Rutnapul.
lung stockade, came in with a Bengallee villager,
stating that the latter had seen the enemy advancing
upon Rutnapulltmg, with font- Chiefs and about 150
men, wishing to negociate, which the naik also stated
to be the case.
Conceiving this to be some design of the enemy to
put the Jemadar off his guard, and thereby more easily
gain possession of the stockade, I determined upon
moving with the whole of my disposable fotce to ascer-
tain what their intentions were, leaving the convales-
cents of the 23d, the whole of the provincials, and one
hundred Mugs, to protect the cantonment and sick, in
ease the enemy :night detach a party to outflank me. •
I moved off ab,ut five r.u. the detachment 23d
Native Infantry leading. On our arriving near to the
gockade (about half a mile), a heavy fire was opened
upon us from the hills on the left of the road, which the
enemy had taken' possession of in numbers and forti-
fied; their larger guns were fired from the further hill,
and the smaller ones from the lower, thereby com-
pletely commanding the road. The naik of the Pro-
vincial Battalion, who bad come to give the report with
the Bengallee in the first instance, told me that we were • _
very near the plain where the stockade was; I conse-
quently pushed on with the detachment of the 23d, and
reached the plain. 1 then returned with a few 'men to-
bring on the guns, directing Ensign Campbell to fol-
low, should I not jain him in a shoat time. It was
then to my disappointment that I found that two of the
elephants had thrown their loads and blocked up the
road. This, Captain Pringle reported to net was the
fault of the mahouts.
To extricate the gun, which, together with the gear,
was hanging to the elephant, we were obliged to cut
the tope, but from the inexperience of Lieut. Scott
(having never seen guns carried-on elephants before),
and none of the golundauze being present, after many
trials, and failing in all, I was obliged to leave it, and
take steps for carrying away the ammunition, which
the other elephants had thrown off, and also that vt hick
bad been left on the road by some coolies, who had run
off. Previous to this, I had been joined by Ensign
Campbell. We with difficulty succeeded in getting it
away, chiefly by the exertions of the sepoys, the Mugs
having hid themselves in the jungles, with the excep.-
tion• of a very few, who assisted the sepoys. After this
was effected, I proceeded quietly with a small patty of
sepoys and an elephant, and brought in the gun, with
as many things as I could find, though sever al articles
ate missing.
To give the men some rest, and an opportunity of pro-
curing water, I took up a position on the plain, and there
remained on the ale: t .lot ing the night. One of the Mugs
fancied he saw some Burestahs creeping towards us, and
commenced a running file, ishich was with difficulty
stopped, otherwise we Remained quiet. The enemy were
firing and shouting dining the whole time. From the
circumstanee of the ammunition coolies having deserted,
and the guns being tendered perfectly useless, by the
great deficiency in the detail of artillery, and not placing
any confidence in the Mugs for support, should we
again have expetienced a tire from the hills, even by
taking a circuitous route, and time being no possibility
of procuring supplies for the men, 1 deemed it most
prudent to return again to Ramoo, there to await the
.arrival of Captain Trueman's detachment, as well as to
-obtain further information as to the strength of the
enemy's force.
On my return to Ramoo, I was surprised to hear that
the Jemadar, with his party from Rutnapullimg, .bad
arrived about two bouts before.
