understood that Sir Colin will, when all is ready, cross the Goomtee, advance on the bank opposite the town, and from that vantage ground shell the enemy out. He will then recross, and enter the Residency. Lucknow, once secured and fortified, will become his head-quarters, whence, inch by inch, he may reconquer Oude. The plan is strikingly able, but its success depends partially upon two contingencies. The first is the time for which the garrison can hold out. That appears to be settled by the letter quoted; but an accident, the explosion of a mine, or the loss of any of the powder in store, may upset all calculations. Secondly, ean

rebels will erect on their own side of the river ?. The Sepoys work their artillery well, and possess quantities inexplicable to men who forget there are 400 fortresses in Oude, not one of which has been dismantled since the annexation. If we may judge at all from previous experience, the plan of the rebels will be to fire as long as they can, then evacuate the city, permit the relieving force to enter the Residency, and close in upon them again. No man, however, can venture to predict the movements of Asiatics.

TIE WRITING ON THE WALL AT CAWNPORE.

The following is an extract from the letter of an officer of the Madras Fusileers at Cawnpore :—* 1 went the other day to see the house of horrors where the unfortunate women and children were massacred. Atthe entrance I found a gibbet, and under it the carcass of a wretch who had just been hanged as a spy. It is a small brick building built ina square, the rooms opening into a small court-yard in the centre. The place is still strewn with fragments of clothes and lots of shoes. The walls in places are sprinkled with blood, and the mats on the floor appear to have been drenched with it. On carefully examining the walls I found scratched on the plaster behind a door, the following—written ap- parently by the wife of a Kuropean soldier, of whom there were several shut up there :—

«*Countrynien and women, remember the 15th of July,

‘57. Your wives and families are here in misery and at the disposal of savages, who have ravished both young and old, and then killed us. Ob! oh! My child! my child ! Country- men, revenge it!’ ” I don’t think anything would appeal so strongly to the feelings of our countrymen at home, as this simple statement of misery. lt is expressed and spelt as above, and seemed to have been scratehed with the point of a knife. The walls of the little room where it was written were spattered with blood, and the plaster cut in several places with swords. I went to see the intrenchment where Wheeler defended himself so long. It isa low mud bank about three feet high, surrounding two large buildings that were formerly hospitals. The walls of these are literally riddled by round shot, and the roofs of both have fallen in. It seems quite miraculous, when you look at the wretched defence, how men could have held out one day, much less many days, against a host well armed, and provided with big guns and every requisite material. ‘They must have beca arrant cowards—as, indeed, we know they were—for they never dared to come out into the open, but fired from the cover of some half-finished bar- racks near the intrenchment. If with the small force we have had hitherto we -have been able to command victory, what will it be when England’s armies now arriving march through the country? In six months India will be more entirely in our power than it has ever been before.”

BOMBARDMENT OF FUTTEYPORE-SEKREE, AND DEFEAT OF REBELS AT MUTTRA.

On the 27th of October Colonel Cotton, with a small body of troops, made a forced march from Agra towards Futtey- pore-Sekree, where a large body of the Indore fugitives were said to be assembled. The force consisted of 200 of the Engineer Brigade, three light field battery guns, two 8-inch

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE BANK. ia We have no desire to protract the discussion which has bem! forced upon us respecting the application that was made to the Government a short time since on behalf of the Bank ; bat the facts which we, as a public journalist, felt it our duty to. announce in reference to that application, having not only been impugned and stigmatised as wilful misrepresentation, but the. Government as well as ourselves haying been maligned for the information we offered to the public, we consider it due to our- selves and to our readers to produce the necessary proofs in. support of our affirmations. It was certainly the duty of our assailants in this matter to prove the falsity of our assertions, if they could. If barely telling a person, however, that he ig a wilful falsifier of certain facts, can be aceepted as evidence that he is such a character, the writers in the Is/ander on the Bank affairs are entitled to the credit of having discovered a new mode of ratiocination. _ In the Examiner of the 14th ultimo, we stated in an article on commercial affairs generally, the nature of the application — which the Bank deemed necessary to make to the Government,

ing of the President and some of the Directors, had waited upon His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, and requested | that the Government would give public authority for postpon-_ ing the call of the unpaid Stock — suspending specie payments, and to declare that the Notes of the Bank would continue to be received at the Treasury in payment of duties and other obligations —the Bank offering to place in the hands of the Treasurer Goyernment Warrants sufficient to cover the amount of Notes so received, as a collateral security for their redemp-

part of the request, but declined to authorise the postponement _ of the call of Stock, or otherwise to interfere with the operation | of the Bank Act. At the time of-making this statement, we

itself, that the account of it we had received was substantially correct. ‘To our announcement of the facts indicated, we ap- pended the following observations, to the trath of ‘which we have the testimony of the Bank Directors themselves, as will likewise presently appear :—

‘* Although we consider that the Notes of our Bank are quite as safe as any description of Bank Notes afloat at the present’ day, when Banks from one end of the Continent to the other are daily succumbing to the crisis, we must not shut our eyes to the fact that the yma excitement would not be so soon allayed, and our Bank paper allowed to pass current as here- tofore, if the Government had acted in a churlish spirit, and refused to receive their Notes at the Treasury.”’

As a reply to these observations, the Is/ander of the 25th ult. published a communication, which bears internal evidence of

howitzers, a detachment of Sikh cavalry and infantry, uader | having been written by one of the Directors, in which two the command of Lieut.
