GEXERAL ORDERS BY BitIGATHER-GENERA.LINE
ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, H.C.B.

Head-ginner., Prome, Sept. 19, MS.,
Brigadier General Sir A. Campbell announces to his
army, that officers, duly author'sed by himself, yester-
day, granted to the enemy, an armistice, guaranteeing
the suspension of hostilities to the 17th day r•f October
next, inclusive, and defining a recognised line of de-
markation, beyond which neither of the contending
parties are to pass.
This measure is in express anticipation of an early
meeting of Commissioners fr.= either Power, to be con-
vened to treat on terms of peace.
Meanwhile the same tone arid spirit of unremitting
vigilance must continue to animate the force, and the
whole of its preparations for the further prosecution of
the war must assume even a more determined character
of activity to place it in an attitude of readiness at once
to strike a decisive blow against the main body of the
enemy, should the course and complexion of their policy
render, inevitable the resumption of hostilities.
The force at Head Quarters has been augmented by
the arrival of the 22d Regiment of Madras Native In?
fantry, under Major R. L. Evans, from Donabue, which
station has been abandoned as useless. The Ist Madras
European Regiment, under Lieut. Colonel Hastings
Kelly, have gone down to Rangoon, with a view to their
co-lperation, should circumstances render it expedient,
with the Madras Light Brigade, in the direction of tlm
eastern side of the kingdom of Pegu.
The sickness at Prome is daily diminishing, and there appears to.
be a fair prospect of the early termination of the Monsoon.

Lord Kemyon's family were taking an airing in the'
Regent's Park on Tuesday forenoon, between twelve and cos
o'clock, when, as the coachman was getting a his box, the horses •
took fright and proceeded along the footway at full speed, till they
came to the small bridge opposite the new Mary-la-bonne Church,
when the carriage came in contact with the pillar of the bridge,
and broke it down. His Lordbh:p'i family were, at the time of
the accident, walking, but the coachman has been injured. The
footman, who was in attendance on the Ladies, sprang forward
and endeavoured to stop the horses; but was instantly throws
down, without being able to accomplish his purpose; his right
leg was much injured, and bled profusely.
A very serious accident occurred at Leicester on
Monday night, a few minutes after ten o'clock. Before the
coachman and guard of the Express stage coach took their seats, the
horses set off at full gallop, without a single person being on the
outside, to guide or check their progress. The horses proceeded
with the utmost speed along the principal Street, and nothing opa
posed their course till nearly opposite the Griffin public bons* there,
when they broke through two young men, brothers, of the name of
Brim, walking arm in arm in the middle of the road, dashing one
down at each side • the other two horses and the coach passed over
one of the men, and he was Most seriously injured-in almost all his
limbs • his arm and leg were broken, and his left foot was nearly
crushed to pieces. The other man escaped with some severe
bruises. The horses continued their course at the same rate, past-
ing two coaches on the road, and never stopped till they arrived at
Quorne, a distance of nine miles from the place they started. They
halted outside the inn, where the coach was in the habit of changing
horses, and there, for the first time, two Ladies who were inside
became aware of the danger they had been exposed to. Some time
after their arrival, the coachman and guard drove up in a post-
chaise, and found the horses standing quietly at the inn door.

A Correspondent, who is himself from Aberdeen, al-
luding to the remark in the House of Lords on Friday
evening, by the Marquis of LANSDOWN, that a bank in
Aberdeen made its notes payable in London only, and
not at the place where they were issued, assures us, that
there is not in all Scotland one establishment.that can
justly be termed a Bank which makes its notes payable
either in London or in any other place except its, own
office. The case alluded to by the Noble Lord is this
A wealthy and enterprising English Gentleman, a good
many years ago established some extensive manufac-
turing concerns in Aberdeenshire, thereby greatly be-
nefiting these extensive districts. Some misunder-
standing, chiefly relative to the rate of Ecchange
with London, arising between him and the Semen
Banks— to render himself independent of them, be com-
menced part of the business of a Banker, by giving bills
upon London at a shorter date than had been usual,
by allowing interest for money deposited, and by pay-
ing the tradesmen and servants in pr'omissor'y notes of
tine pound and upwards, payable upon demand at the
office in Aberdeen. But the House never performed the
more important office of a Scotch Bank, by discounting
oids, or giving cash credits. Of late years, these notes
have been made payable upon demand in London, with
view. of re id ring them more useful, but they have
ilways continued to be paid also at their office is
Aberdeen.
