THE FALL OF LUCKNOW,
Inc whole two pages of the London Times of the

The rooms off this nook had been used as stores

emerge with richer trophy. In one box they
found diamond bracelets, emeralds, rubes, pearls

cups and vessels of jade, of CRYSTAL and of china
which the soldiers were lstlessly throwing the
ground and breaking into atoms. Had the enemy
made strong attack on us at that moment, not one
hall OF our troops could have been collected repe
it. And such were the scenes through every court
OF the many mansions of the Kaiserbagh. Mean
time, intelligence reached the Chief of the Staff
that the women of the Zenana were secreted in one
OF the strongest parts of the Kaiserbagh
Some engineer officers, whose names | du not
know; Captain Hope Johnstone, of General Mans
fields staff; and Lieutenant Colonel Johnson, b. A.
with two companies of the 38th, immediately pro-
ceeded to the spot, into which some of our soldiers
had already forced entrance. In doing so the
son of one of the Begums, a deaf and dumb youth
OF 20 years of age, and two three of the ladies
OF the Zenana were unfortunately killed by dis
charge OF musketry when the doors were burst in
before the soldiers saw that they were women. 1t
may be imagined what state of terror the Begums

They expected death every instant; and their
agonies of fear were increased by the knowledge
OF the fact that some armed Sepoys were shut up
in room close at hand, and one shot might seal
their fate.
Huddled together amid the smoke, they could
scarcely be calmed by the of the officers
who at once took measures to remove them to a
place of safety. As they were going out of the
ladies pointed out to Captain Hope Johnstone, a
box which he had just taken from the floor and laid
upon the table. She told him it contained Jewels to
the value of 10 lacs of rupees, or 100000 He at
once placed sentres at the doors, and gave orders
that no one should enter. Having, with the aid of
his brother officers, taken the ladies out of danger
he retired to the Zenana. 1t was blazing from end
to end. The sentries only escaped by clambering
up to the roof, from which they with difficulty
saved. The jewels, were gone. Had Captain John
stone taken them they would have been his, for the
kaiserbagh on this day was given up to plunder,
and what each man could get became his property
RUSSIA.
A letter from Berlin, dated April 80 announces
serious outbreak among the peasants on the domain
of Prince Wasilzikoff, which appears to have been
instigated by an agitator who had misrepresented
the nature of the project for the emancipation of the
serfs. This person had created the impression that
for some years past they had rendered twice the
amount OF forced services, which could legally be
demanded, and that they were, consequently, enti-
tied to be indemnified
The peasants assembled in body, and proceeded
to the town of Tanrogenn, with determination to
enfore restitution, and refused to work until their
claims satisfied. The Governor General of
Kowno arrived three days after with three squad
rons of hussars, and as remonstrances were of no
avail, it was necessary to have recourse to force
Many of the peasants were arrested and order was
at length re-estabshed. Similar events had taken
place at Georgenburg. l
The Cracow Car relates that disturbances
have occurred in the circles of Minsk Orlow and
Grodno. Inquiries on the subject show that no of
cal accounts of serious agrarian excesses had been
received; but that there certainly an alarming
ferment among the serfs in those districts in hch
the great landed proprietors objected to their eman
cpation. .. ..| -.
There has just been published detailed and obli-
gatory programme of the labors of the committees
OF the nobility, in reference to the emancipation of
the peasants. Three successive periods are fixed
Tor the accomplishment of this measure. In the
hrst the principles are to be laid down.
In the second these principles are to be applied to
each property. In the third common code will be
compiled for the rural population. Six months are
allowed for the labors of the first period in statis
tica and systematic point of view. After this de-
lay the peasants will obtain all the rights of the 9TH
contributing classes; but they will remain attach
ed to the land until they shall have been redeemed
