The cholera was making sad havoc in his small force. 147 men and 9 otliccrs of the Queen‘s 10th had fallen into an ambuscade and been killed neat“ Dinapore. They had gone with 160‘ men of the 37th to relieve some civil servants at Arran, but the steamer _wjth the 10th was grounded on the way, and the men being incautiously landed, were surrounded by the re- bels and destroyed. ’ About that time 75 Europeans at Arran were massa- cred by the Dumpore mutincers. The commander at the latter place. Gen- eral Lloyd, had manifested great in- capacity, and had been superseded by Sir'James'Outram'. - These events had caused greatt excitement at Dinapore‘ and Benaresrtttis latter" place being .J'ipe' for revolt.

The gift of £1,000 by the Emperor ofthc French. caused Some embarrassment at the .Mausiou House. where the question was mooted ultethcr the name of His Imperial Majesty should be inserted at the head of an English national sub- scription to which the Queen of Eng- land and the Prince Consort had not contributed.

On being joined by General Neil. Grneral Havclock determined to leave the place in his hands and march at once upon Luck- now. distant about fifty miles from Cawnporo. The victorious column accordingly commenced ite march upon Lucknow on the 20th of July. The road was found to be perfectly clear until our 1 oops Were within about twenty miles of Luck- now. Here they were met by tho enamv on the 30th of July. numbering about 10.000 men. who .were repulsed with great loss. leaving in our pos- ‘session lil'toen guns. Our losses are not known. but we suppose they must have been heavy. as the fight was a very ebxtinnte one. it was ex- pected that General llavolock would enter Luck- now on the lilst of July. After garrisoniug the place and securing its safety_ he would resume his march Delhi-wards. in the direction or Agra; so that the rebels must make the most of their time. as before the present month is out we believe that they will be driven from their last stronghold.

On 'l'ues-lay the 29th ult., the surround- ing Divisions of the Sons of 'l‘empcrance, celebrated the HM: anniversary of the or- ganization oftlu-ir noble order, by a process- ion and soiiee at the Village of Thornhill. Considering the uupropitious appearance of the weather, there was a good turn out of those Who were eagbr to join in the demon- stration against king alcohol, and to spend a day in friendly intercourse and enjoyment. Under the direction of the marshalls, who, mounted upon bauutilul and highly mettled horses discharged their onerous duties in a wry ellicient manner, the procession was formed, consisting of ahout 15U b‘ons of Temperance besides a pret’y fair sprinkling ofjurenilc Sons and Cadets. First in order came the Buttonville BJISS Band, causing their ilhtruments to send forth the most har- monious and soul stirring music; next the Richmond Hill Calets of Temperance made their appearance with their neat and tastefully desrgned flag, on which was inscrith the name and number of their section; these were tollowed by the New Moon Division With its beautiful banner, emblazoned with appropriate devices and setting forth the motto ot the order, lore, purity and fidelity, and the Laskay Division, whose members have wated valiant in fight and put to flight armies ofthe aliens. Then came the Kline.- burg Band of instrumental Ianic which dirl not fail to earn fresh l:|ll:‘elS'-0II the Ocean- ion, whilst the Thornhill, Concord, Thamesâ€" rille and Richmond liill Divisions brought up the rear. After tra-‘crsing the principa| thoroughfares of the Village, the procession returned to the Methodist Church, in the rear of which was provided an entertainment wl i :h rrflected honor on the ladies of'l‘horu- h”. It need scarcely be hinted that the guests showed their appreciation by doing ample jusllcr to the agreeable here-rages and the very suitable ~‘ fixmgs” which were so tastefully arranged for them. The merry jest and joyous laughter told the friendly feel- ing that pievailed, giving rise to the pleasing thought that they were the members of One / great family, met for the purpose of mutual enjoyment, both mentally and physically. After regaling themselves they repaired to the Church where Amos \Vright, Esq. M. P. presided over the meeting. After a few pointed remarks the chairman called upon the Rev. H. Dean, E. B. l’tyckman, B. A., and Daniel McDougal, Esq, who addressed the audience for a short time. ’ At the close the members and visitors met at the corners of Yonge and Centre streets, wherr the Bands played several airs, not for-n geting the National Anthem God save the Queen. The peoyle then separated and re- tired to their respective homes in peace, har- mony and love, satisfied that the object of the Sons of Temperance is a good one, and more determinel to assist in its benevolrnt desugn of snypressmg the great vnce ofmtem- perance.

Nevertheless, I d nibt rot, he did arouse the “ old man” within thee,by taxing thee with presumption. and instead of returning good for evil, thou llkt nzth him unto a bull vexed by a red cloth. Now, verily this grieveth the sore. and as I am a member of the Peace Saciety, it be- hoveth me to set the matter at rest. I can only liken you both unto two bad boys rid- ing on one llOtSL’, and both wanting to ride first.
