FAO. ments, under the command of Captain Staunton. The 3d, 4th, and sth companies of the Ist battalion of Artillery, luft, hum Dum yesterday afternoon, on their way to Cawnpoor ; and the 4th and sth companies of the 3d battalion are ordered to hold themselves in readiness to march to the same place. From Bombay papers we regret to hear that the ill. health of Major-General Baumgardt, the commandant of the fort, obliges him to proceed to ssia for a short time.  Colonel l3rough and the 2d Queen's have joined Colonel Wallace'a light field force near Kolapore, where Colonel Outram, the I'. A., is endeavouring to amicably arrange matters.  We are sorry to hear the cholera is still raging- at Kunnossee, near Kolapore ; two men of the Horse Artillery died there on the night of the 26th. Captain Donelly, the acting Adjutant-General, has, we understand, been appointed post-master to the force assembled at Kolapore, but the head-quarters are not yet finally siiiraided upon. The 80th Foot are, we understand, by a recent alteration in their mofussil destiny, to march to Agra instead of to Allahabad, the duties of which will be taken (as also those of G. azeepore) by her Majesty's 53d. We much regret to state, that Major Wood, A.D.C. met with a severe accident on Tuesday evening, the 12th ult., which might have been attended with a far more serious effect than even that which actually ensued. We believe the particulars are, that a horse he was trying fell with him, but almost instantly recovering his legs, started off before the Major could gather up the reins to check him, or regain his stirrups ; in which situation the horse succeeded in throwing him with much violence against some rails, whereby one of his ribs was fractured. Ile is doing as well as can be expected, but we fear the injury he has sustained will keep him an invalid for the next two or three weeks. News from the Mofussil informs us that a detachment of irregular cavalry has been ordered from Bareilly, to assist the magistrates of Futtehgur and Mynpoorio in the apprehension of Gunsya alias Kunsees, the murderer of Captain Alcoek ; in adiitiun to the reward of WO rupees by the Government, 500 rupees have been offered by Mr. Robinson, the commissioner.  The Prime Minister of Lahore and Goolab Singh are reported to hare amicably arranged matters.  'We understand that rice was recently sold at Cashmere aa 2 maunds and 16 •earn (pukka weight) for the Cashmere rupees—a rate nnknuwn for many years. 15th.—Private letters from Agra, dated the 4th inst., mention the appointment of Captain T. B. Todd, of the Invalids, to the Postmastership of Mirzapore, and Mr. Assistant Secretary A. Shakespear to act as accountant to the north western provinces, in the room of Mr. C. Grant, on leave of absence.  Our Sinde news down to the 26th ultimo, informs us that Colonel Moseley's court-martial was expected to commence about the beginning of this month, and we are told that Captain Fly ter is placed in arrest and is to be tried also ; and it is also reported that Sir Charles Napier intends bringing both the Commandants of her Majesty's 13th and 78th Regiments to trial on account of the escape of 9 of the condemned men from the custody of the former corps, and one, the last tried, from that of the latter.
