The first bugle sounded at '1- n. m., and at '3 the men were termed on the right at their camp. The road proceeds in a )(l‘alghl hue through a country which is as flat as a bowling-green, well cultivated and covered with patches of thick grun- nnd mango topes. The point to which the march tended was the south-inst ex- treutity ofthe envirom of Lin-know, to the (2-1:! of the position held by us at the Alutnhngh; and as soon as out fur (1‘ had arrived within some mile or so of tilt Alutllhhgll, the head ofthe column incliI-eo to the right by the fortress ot Jeltola' ad, which forms the extreme point held by General Outram, and in which \Ve'rt ‘ stored large quantities of stores and inn 1 terial.

Our cavalry ntrd three [reaps of Horse Artillery, III the full speed of emulation between Benpnl and Royal Horse Artill~ cry, dashed aCI'OnS the broken ground at a gallop, the guns hopping and bounding over the dry Lillilll‘s, which intersect the fields as if they were matte of cnouichoue, and the enemy fled, leaving one of lltt‘ll’ guns in our hands. A few matclilock- men and sepots kept up a running fire. which caused us no damage, and our forces occupied the enclnsures. parks, and residences of the Bibiapoor and the Na- homed Hugh, and the Dilkooshn (or Dil- ltushn). with little or no oppOsitiou. Sir 'Colin rt‘conuoitred the enemy’s position, a portion of which is quite open to view from the Dilkooslia and the ground in Trout ol it, and it. then bicatue evident that the enemy had availed themselves of the respite so unavoidably permitted them, and had thrown up tanks of astonishing strength, so far as the height and solidity of the parapets and batteries were con- cerned. As the sepoys still lined an old lwall from the river 5 bank along the front -of the Dillroosha, a few companies of Pun- fiauhees, supported by a party of the 3b‘th Regiment, were sent to lake it in the evening. Breaking into a run from the Dilhooshn,tl‘.eSikhs, with a loud cheer, went at the enemy with the bayonet, and, although the latter numbered 600 or 700, .they tied after one discharge of their pieces, which caused only six or seven casualties in our ranks. The wall was at 'once seized, and the loopholes were used against the enemy, who fell back upon rh- trenches in front of the Martinieie. It was difficult to get on through the dense multitudes of men and annuals, sailors, Highlanders, Sikhs, Pathans, l’unjaubees, hheesties, doo'y-bearers, camp-servants, lhtfllochs, camels, horses, elephants, goats, Icons, sheep,iguns and carriages, which «filled Lhe.pla4n for miles in front. ol‘us, but at. length we managed to emerge from the' t‘lust and heat, and to come up with the advanced guard of the 7th llnssars, near whom were riding most at the headquar- ters staff and heads of departments, who Shad been in the saddle from the previous midnight. As we cros'sed the plain there more abundant evidences that we were near the battle-grounds of the garrison of the Alumba h and their enl mies. 1n tapes of trees were lying skeletoirs from] which the dogs had torn the clothes and flesh, and out on the open were the same ghasttr spectacles extended in fantastic attitudes, dried up by the sun and muni- milied,some with bits of Oltl repay red ,jueltets still clinging to their nbitenerl .bones. Those were all that. remained at the men out up from time to time by the Military Train and lluilsons's Horse, in their charges, whenever the enrmy ven- nured out in the open. The leader of our escort was a fink, ibandsome fellowâ€"nut darker than a Spaniard-with a free nml open express- .ion of face, white lerth, with a frank :smile.

March 5.â€"â€"Late last night I went down to see the commencement of the process of bridging the Goomtce. It was bright moonlight, and the whole of the enemy’s side of the river was plainly visi- ble, our figures being cast Into shade, so that any one at the opposite side could see as readily. bttt not a man fired a shot, not a wandering Sowar came down to lind what was the cause of all the noisetnevn- able in such operations. There was the creaking ot‘ lrackerir-s laden with the casks and palrrks necessary for the construction of the bridges, and the tumult ol' "1"" and the rumble of artillery which came down to cover the working party in case ofup- position. The river is about 4-0 yards brand, and flows with a gentle placid citr- rent betwcen hard sandy shelving banks of seven or eight; feet in height, so that it is favourable for the work. Major Has- sard, It. E., and a party of sappers and miners were engaged all through the night and when morning dawned I found one bridge nearly completed and the other ad- vanced half way. Some unexpected de- lays had occurred in marking the landing places, but the bridge was pronounced to be extremely firm, although It consisted of nothing more solid than porter casks, lashed to cross pieres of wood with ropes, and lloated otf section after section till in‘ a fit state to have the planking commenced The ‘ennmy now for the first time seemed to be aware of our tactcs. We had alâ€" ready a picket of the 38th Regiment at the other side oflhe river, who lined the hanks near the hritl-ge, and occupied a small knoll on the lctt ol' rt. In front of us was a wide plain, catered with corn fields, and patches ot'dnll and grain, and high grass. fringed by gro res and clumps Ol trees. Through this plain the enemy’s cavalry were riding in small groups, watching our proceedings in evident con- sternation. 'l‘heir infantry came hurrying out of the city from the north side, and presently three guns were tugged out from the Fyzabad road. and were placed under clumps ot‘trees so as to bear on the bridge, Had they attacked us with resolution at that moment they might have prevented the completion of the bridge for the time, and retarded the operation of turning their flank and tal-zing their whole line on their left in reverse, but the Svpoys seem to have no notion that srtch a movement ex- ists, notwithstanding all the lessons they hare received in this campaign.

Similar institutions in Lowvr Canada are and always have been, for their construction and maintenance, a charge upon the public chest. 111 Upper Canada the whole expr-nse connected with the drafting, summoning and at- tendance, of Jurors is paid by local taxation. ln Lower Canada they are paid by the geneal GovernmcuL [n Upper Canada. County Judges are paid from funds derived from local sources: In Lower Canada the Circuit Judges are paid out of the Provincial Chest. Upper Ca- nadian farmers al‘tcr paying full value for their farms, provide them- selves with seed grain: in Lowor Canada a cry of distress opens the public chest to provide‘ seed grain for the men who pay nothing to our revenue, whose farms were paid for out of the public chest, and who have Houses and Jails and Courts and Judges all supported at our expenseâ€"â€"yet they are never reâ€" quired to refund the money thus professedly loaned to them.’ With respect to the payment of Jurors out of the consolidated Re- venue ,â€"\\e submit that the Era deals unjustly "\\Vi»th tlie question.

Our readers will at once perceive that if no better arguments are advanced against the Union, than such as we quote from the Era, it is desirable that the Union be “ preserved.” An early spring has been grant-i ed to us, but still the looming clouds show no signs of breaking. The nightmare still binds our com- merce with more than a niagician’s spell. Every branch of trade seems {rightfully stagnant. In our towns and villages numbers of hard-work- ing men are roaming)r our streets idle and discontented, because no employment can they find for their hands to do,â€"thus, causing an amount of distress nearly unpar- rallcd in the annals of Canadian historyâ€"which demands our most serious and thoughtful attention. The press is filled'with outcrys on the tightness of the times. All classes seem to sufler, and there is scarcely a business but what is contracted within the most insigni- ficant limits. Indeed, compar- atively speaking, there is scarcely any business doing at all in the country, neither in Agricultural districts nor Commercial towns; indeed, so far are the times from improving, they actually seem to get tighter from all accounts that we can gather. We do not desire to become croakers, but movely to speak the truth on this subject, and, we fear, that there will be no improvement on this side of harvost. The present :pring is nearly over but we can see no signs of Commercial improvement at pre- sent, at least, not in Canada,â€"â€"still in Europe. we are happy to see un- mistakcable tokens of a return to prosperity,â€"â€"-which has however received a severe check from the political and social unquiet of the French people, caused by the *re- cent attempts at assassination in that unsettled country. The United States are slowly regaining their tvonted elasticity; many of their Banks, recently all but defunct, are filled to overflowing with gold. We think also that Canada would much sooner recover her accustom- ed buoyancy, did we remove the absurd restrictions which now fet- ter our fiscal system. Why not letmoney as well as corn be fre e E lot it have an open market and fetch what it is worth. Why in- terfere between borrower and lend- er? let each party be free to bar- gain forthcmselves without check. Money, like everything else, will in due time find its own levelâ€"do not bolster it with state palavers and quackeries, let it have free and unrestrained exercise. It wants no state physician. Indeed, we are of opinion that our usury law is one fruitful cause of our periodical panics. We give to money a fictitious value, in order to prevent injustice, but it is a miserable failure. Who can borrow money now zit 6 per cent? No one. No, not even if he gives the best possible security. Then what g oss absurdity it is merely to possess a law only on paper, to be evaded at every step. Law is only brought into contempt thereby. TRADE PROSPECTS. Most of the debates on the Usury Laws, to our _'mind, only exposes the ignorance of the debaters. \Ve think that the sooner such laws be- come obselete there better for all classe‘fl; L; Although we féel’ “constr‘ai‘néd to give if as our opinion, that the hard timt'siivill continué through thei sumtIQ:, we- do nof lfor a moment‘s doubt- that the good times will soon cords; back to us again. We must, however, for the presont, give up all hopes of increasing our riches; let us strive rather, by economising our resources, to hold what we Pave got. He will be a fortunate man, who, through this severe pressure, is enabled to hold his own. We have great hopes, how- ever, that if Providence gives us an abundant harvest We shall yet see a return of prosperity in our midst and that steady industry will again meet with its legitimate reward. This interesting case came off on Wednesday, the 5th, before Mr. Justice Richards. The action was brought by Mr. C. E. Anderson, Deputy-Receiver- General of this Province, against Mr. Beaty as proprietor of the Leader, for a libel reflecting seri- ously on the character of Mr. Anderson, as Receiver-Genera], and also as an individual. Sevoml grossly disreptable acts were clearly traced to Mr. Ander- son, and, after a lengthy investiga- tion, the Jury returned a verdict for lhe defendant. Mr. M. C. Cameron appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Eccles for the defendant. This Township Council will meet at Sizc’s Hotel, Unionville, on Monday next. This early meeting is called on account of the pressing business coming before the Coun- cil, demanding immediate atten- tum. We find Mr. Brown is crowing greally at the result of this election. For ourselves we see nothing at all surprising or wonderful inlhe event. It only follows, as a mutter of course. that those who supported the master would support his ser- vant and follower; less could no! have been expected.

G REAT LIBEL CASE MARKHAM COUNCIL PUBLIC LECTURE V 220 PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY There was avery long debate on the motion to lntorporate the Orange Society, the result of which will disappoint many, although it did not us. We {hink that the 'course {xn1sued by the opposition, on every_:' question?“ moment, will be reprébatedhhroughoul the coun- try. They doggedly oppose every measure the ministry b1ing for- ward, and then “fill their papers with complaints that so little work is performed. They neither do any work’tltemselves, nor let the government do any if they can help it. They bring forward no mea- sures themselves, androbsiinately oppose the most useful measures of the government. Suc'h proceed- ings‘banh’ot be too strongly repro- bated, particularly at. the present time when trade and commerce are atthe lowest ebb with us. We com- mend the members of this factions opposition to their constituences. \Ve feelwe cannot do better, as the next election, we doubt not, ‘ will unequivocally show. iVednesdny. May 12. Hon.
