ALUMBAGH, Nov. l7--9 A. M.
From Maj. Sibley to the Secretary to Government:
The CommanderinCh Chief in Lucknow; heavy can
nonade in the direction OF the palaces. Dikhoosa
and Martiniere occupied by our troops.
In reference to the foregoing the Hu'haru re-
marks -
Many of our readers may not understand the pur-
port OF the above despatch to government about the
cannonding in the direction of the palaces: the oh
ject of the cannonading may in consequence be
quite unintelligible to them. Being, however, well
acquainted with Lucknow, we are enabled to explain
that the palaces consist OF a group Of buildings
called the Mahals, or the residences of Valid Ali
Shah's 300 wives. These palaces stand between the
Dilkhoosa (Heart's Deight) and the Martiniere at
cent in the occupation of Sir Colin Campbell, and
the Ballyguard, or Residency in the occupation OF
Sir James Outram is thus placed between two fires,
and the rebels have to be driven from the Mahals;
after which the force under Sir Colin Campbell will
join that Of Sir j. Outram. Though these palaces
are an extensive structure of brick walls and houses
they are of very weak construction aud would soon
crLmble under a cannonade of shell aud round shot

We are afraid we were right In saying that II was

ties. The later accounts, meagre they are,
prompt us to ask whether the city can indeed be
said 10 have fallen? Is sir Colin Campbell really
master Of the capital Of Dude !? The India
Houfe Calcutta despatch says:-"The city of Luck
now will be held in check by strong movable CO
lumn, with field and heavy artillery occupying a
coed military position outside the town. The fort Of
Antrowabes evacuated by the enemy, and razed To
the ground by Colonel Southden. who intended re-
firing instantly to the Jaunpore frontier IA il was
still threatened by a large force from Dude" The
city is still To be held in check-by whom? We are
afraid the meaning is that the English are only ia
position before IT, that they have not been able to

their way from Alumbagh 20 far towards Lucknow

that they are sent Ito the rear" This We fear
