The 92d (Highlanders) baiting, at the Battle of
Bayonne, rattled a corps of French grenadiers down
a hill with the bayonet, were halted by their Com.
manding Officer (Colonel Cameron) just to takt,
bre'ath, when Lieutenant D. Macpherson hastily re.,
ported to the Colonel, that the reginaent was out•.
ittaked on the right by the French in great force,
who were hastening forward in the hope of cutting'
them off ; and at the same moment, Lieutenant T.
Mitchell gave information, that another enemy's corps
,hall far out-flanked theirs on the left. " ''bets, my
lad.s, (said Colonel Cameron) we must charge them 1
.again ;" and immediately gave the ward; " Cliarget"l'
But scarcely was the word given, and the regiment

nel Cameron himself received tiveril hilts; and some
hurts of too slight a nature to be tied in the re-.
turn of regimental casualties. Hs horse was also
wdunded. The regiment being now completely our-
' flanked on both sides, it became necessary to retire in
order to disengage it i, "hilt proceeding slowly in
this movement, Colima Cameron's horse received'
another shot, which beortiht hint dead to theronrid,
and he nufortutrately fell in such a way, that the Co-,
lonel remained oppressed bT bits
_we.ight, and unable
to extricate himself. In this situation he remained
some moments, and must, in a few more, have inert.
tably fallen into the enemy's hands, when his orderly
corporal having missed him, yeti reed to lii's ski, end
helped to disengage him. The occurrence had by
this time been perceiwd by the enemy's Advance, who
were close, and one of them running up to take ad.
vantage of the circumstance, seiiecl-thit corporal by-
the neck while the latter's hands were employed in
relieving the Colonel ; but others of the- Highlandert
were hastening back by this time, and one of them,
with a spring, fixed his bayonet. in the.. Frenchman's
heart. The enemy's ardour was checked by this, and
Colonel Cameron was not only calried off in triumph
by his brave 'comrades; but the corporal, with the
characteristic coolness and-detirmination of a High-
lander, took his Colonel's saddle 0(.1 the horse, in the
face of the enemy, and brought it off, leaving them
no trophy but the carcase of the poor animal I ' The
loss of the gallant 92J, on that day, and in the4rit.
ceding action of the pass of Maya, amounted to little
short of two-thirds of its total numbers in killed and '
wounded, including, about forty officers. Colonel
'Cameron, in the action of the pass of Maya, was
wounded in three places,, and there also had a horse i
'tilled 'under !Berl. It would seem that there was a'

Early .6n ?May mcitning a fire was discovered' in
the upper parfot alisitise in the School:-hill, Aber-
deen, whit!) had as alartnin* appearance; but being
confined td the attic ac.ory it.was extinguished, not
before that part-ot the houses 104 ;the roof and se-
veral articles of furniture, were consdmed.
Stott:Fix& —Yesterday the Serpentine ice, in Hyde
Park, was nearly covered by the admirers" of ads
healthy exercise. The dashing appearance of the
,Belles, clad in the costume of Northern Dames, and
the bust, moving scene among the skaiters, made a
most animated picture. We. have seldom seen so
many persons in the enjoyment of wintry sport. A
few of the aukward. squad tell occasionally, and, by
tumbling, afforded a laugh among the more dextrous.
Errttamtiarsany etticussrra:•:ce.— For above two
months pait, extraordinary attacks have been made
open the house of Mr. Hodgson, army clothier, in
Sdits-square, by breaking the windows of the back.
6011 t, which looks into Dean-street, beginning about.
dusk, and with coals almost invariably, and acme.
times so heated, as to set fire to the Frlerr in the rocrms;
and they have entered the rooms with such Selocityb,
that they have been suspected to have been discharged
from an air-gun. The mystery of this act of...mis-
chief is considerably increased by the premises in So.
ho-square, being covered by a house and. premises in
Dean-street, which fie uses for his business ; and at
[s the same time his windows in the square are broke,
no person is in that or any part.of the premises in
Dean-street. There has been about ISO squares ofl
glass brpke. Mr. Hodgson hat had some of the
Bow-street patrole, to endeavour to detect the parties,
but in vain : and even at the tithe they have been
watching, the windows have been broke, ana they
have frequently received violentblows from the coals,
although they could not conjecture from whence they
came. Mr. Hodgson is unable to suspect any per.
son, not hiving'haa a difference with any of his neitga.
boors ; and in this state the business rests at present.
