One of the most solemn and interesting occurrences at Moultan, subsequent to the surrender, was the reinterment of the bodies of Messrs. Agnew and Anderson, whose murder, it may be remembered, signalized the commencement of the insurrection. The following account is from the pen of an officer with the force :  " On the evening of the 26th, I joined in a very pleasing, though melancholy ceremony. The burial place of Mr. Agnew and Lieutenant Anderson had been discovered, and it was determined to exhume the bodies, and move them to the fort. The grave was opened under the superintendence of one of their most intimate friends, and the bodies were found to be in a sufficient state of preservation to be identified. A carrying and funeral party, with the band of Fusiliers, to which regiment Lieutenant Anderson formerly belonged, attended, with a large portion of the officers in camp, and moved off from the Fedgah near which the bodies had been found, at five o'clock, and entering the fort by the breach, the coffins were deposited in a grave which had been prepared in the highest part of the fort. The chaplain was in attendance, and read the funeral service in a most impressive manner. The otlicers of the Fusiliers are anxious to show their respect for their brother officer by the erection of a monument to his memory; and so are the assistants to the Lahore Residency, by whom subscriptions have long been made for the purpose; I suppose it will be done conjointly. They appear to have been two men very highly respected and esteemed." Government have ordered an immediate report as to how many European regiments the garrison of Lahore can accommodate, as the army will have to fall back in the hot weather on the capital. Brigadier General Wheeler has also been ordered by Government to proceed, via Deenanuggur, to the Commander-in-Chief's camp, I hear, and he is to report on the site of Deenanuggur for a cantonment. It is said to be extremely unhealthy, from the overflowing of the great canal from April to October. The Delhi Gazette states, on the authority of recent communications, that Lieutenant Pearse, of the Madras Artillery, had reached the Payloo-pass, with 1,500 men and six guns, in support of Lieutenant R. Taylor, who was still at Lukkee, while Lieutenant Pollock, with 2,000 men and five guns, had made six marches to join him. Lieutenant J. Young, of the Engineers, was to proceed to join the Bunnoo forces on the Ist of February. The annexed intelligence relative to the transference of certain Madras Regiments to this (the Bombay) Presidency, in compliance with a requisition from our local Government, reached us on Thursday, in an Athenmum Extra : " We understand that in consequence of a requisition from the Bombay Government for troops from this Presidency, the following regiments will be transferred. " Tee 6th Native Infantry from Bellary to Kulladghee or Dharwar, us may be decided on by the Bombay authorities.  " Her Majesty's 94th from Cannanore to Sinde or elsewhere at discretion.  "Four other re4irnents of Native Infantry, the corps not yet decided upon, but supposed to be the sth Native Infantry, 15th Native Infantry, 19th Native Infantry, and 40th Native Infantry, will be made available for the occupation of Bombay cantonments." Should the Governor-General decide on garrisoning Moultan, we presume the duty of holding that fortress will fall on the Bombay troops. On this assumption an increase of our available force will be essentially necessary.
