In a dirty garret in Paris lived Mrs. Gregory Lyndon and | her husband. How they lived, indeed, no one could have} told ; not even themselves. He was a furious gambler, and as furious a drunkard; passing days, and nights, and weeks from home; not jealous, or solicitous for bis wife, because profoundly indifferent te her. He would have been thankful for any act of hers which should have allowed him to get legal, if shameful deliverance from her. But poor Lucy’s! day of thoughtlessness had gone. A slatternley, neglected | woman, she was a virtuous, if a wretched one; and, though | she had"long ceased to love her husband, she had both pride | and early principle remaining. None of her family knew where she was. They had tried to trace her, but Lucy | having thrown every possible obstacle in the way, after} months of weary search, they were forced to leave her to her self-appointed fate. And what a fate! Drunken egies, | squallid misery, vice, starvation, brutality—these were the | mutins and the vespers of Lucy's marriage altar. She never | knew how her husband gained his money—for all did not | come from the gaming table—but she dared not question | him. Gregory had Jearnt his uncle’s habit with women, and | Lucy more tit once had reason to know that her husband’s } hand was bard, and her busband’s arm strong. At last, a| more than ordinarily daring outrage on the public code of | private possession. threw Gregory into the hands of the | police. False coinage will not always ring, and false notes | will sometimes betray unskilful writing. He was arrested | as a forger, and condemned to the galleys for life. But, | before he had Leen twenty-four hours in prison, the Jutent |

afady, always near, broke out; and so Gregory was sent to Charenton instead of to the Bagnes,—to the hospital for the mad, not to the stronghold of the criminal.

When Lucy heard of this, and knew that in any case she | was practically divorced from ber husband, she wiote home | to her mother; besought forgiveness and aid, and—would not Launce go to see her? ‘They were too glad to be able to forgive her, and Launcélot set off for Paris ten minares after tue letter sched the house. In a few days, Lucy was once more under her father’s roof; and, by the time she” was thirty, nota trace of her terrible experience was left on her, She was handsomer than ever, as wordly, as self- possessed, as luxurious. No one who saw the beautiful young widow as she lived and moved in the calm state of home, would have imagined that she had once lived in a Parisian garret, cooking her own food—when she had any —but more often going without; bruised and trampled on by a forger and coiner ; with sometimes only a ragued gown ns her sole covering; sometimes indebted for the» bare necessaries of life to the poor charbounier and the poorer | portress—to the chiffonnier in the room next to hers, to the | little grisette a stage lower—obliged for dear life, to people | whom she would have passed by, now, as loftily as if her | misery and theirs had never come together. But, she used to talk grandly of her Parisian life, and often quoted the time “when I lived in that bewitching Paris.” Which sounded well.

A short time after Lucy’s return, Colonel Lyndon died, and Norah was left sole beiress and proprietor. JLauncelot, at her request, went over to the Hall to advise and to assist her. She had no friends and no relatives, and she remembered that Launcelot had once put his arms about her and shielded her irom her father,

Tae Exertss Anmy at Cawnrore.—In the present state of our information respecting our forces at Cawnpore every scrap of newsis valuable. The following brief extracts— written, as will be seen, on the eve of going into action, and when the artillery was roaring its hoarse prelade—though brief, have this recommendation, that they are written by one of the best officers in the Indian army, and by one whose position affords him access to the best intelligence. The letter is dated Camp, Cawnpore, Dec. 2:—* We have got back in time to save Cawnpore frem falling into the hands of the rebels. The Gwalior fotce, with the Baiza Bhaie (widow of the late Maharajah) at their head, and that scoundrel Nena Sahib, with all his forces, united and attacked the cantonments five days ago, and are at the present moment in possession of one-half, They have just opened a cannonade, and we are under orders to move; and ere long, in all probability, something decisive will happen. We are strong in the hands of Him whom we serve, and who is able to give the victory to the many or the few. It is a solemn moment.” Of the previous operations of his force under Sir Colin, the writer merely says:— We have accomplished the relief of the garrison of Lucknow, and brought off all the ladies, women, and children to this place, leaving a strong force in position near that city. We had some very hard fighting; and Sir Colin allows that even Crimean heroes will acknowledge it some of the very heaviest fire they have ever been under. He is warm in his praise of the Bengal Artillery.”

Tux Tesniste Arar at Horeutier, 1y tae Manrarra Counrry.—In the Southern Mahratta Country, Lieut. Kerr, of the Southern Mahrratta Horse, has disposed of a whole nest of traitors. Our readers will remember Lieut. Kerr’s distinguished services at Kolapoor in August last, and his exploits at Hulgullee are even more daring. The Southern Muabratta country was being disarmed, and for a few days previous to the engagement it had been known that a large band had been formed in the Moodul country, headed by discontented Daisais, whose intention was to resist the dis- arming act. Hulgullee, a village in the gorge of some low hills covered with boulders and low brushwood, and distant six miles from Kallunghee, on account of its strong position, was selected as the head quarters of the malcontents, about 1,000 strong, and placed in a state of defence. All families and valuables were sent away, and every preparation made for resistance. Col. Malcolm, accompanied by a small escort, reconnoitred their position and was warned off. Sceing its strength, he wrote to Belgaum for a field force, and to Lieut. Kerr for reinforcements. Whilst this force was coming, Lieut. Kerr, at eight o’clock a.m., mounted one hundred sabres, marched fifty-four miles, crossed the Kistoa at a stretch, and by nine o’clock p.m. of the same day was engaged with the enemy’s pickets. Immediately on his approach |the war kettle-drum sounded, aad a severe fire was opened upon his men. _ He thereuv0a summoned the enemy to sur- render and Jay down their arms, and was invited in no very polite terms to come and take them—an invitation which he did not long hesitate in accepting. He managed to bring from a neighbouring village thirteen men whom he caused to hold a like number of horses, and proceeded with their riders to carry an outwork which outflanked bis small detachment, The work he took and retook no less than three times during the night, being when in possession of it attacked by three or four hundred naked fiends with long two-hand'ed swords and matehlocks.

Our troops, accustomed to be led to victory, went on with their usual dash, the 64th, one of the Havelock victorious regiments, leading. They charged a battery in the left centre of the enemy’s line, and gained it, the enemy yielding to them at every step. But they were left alone, and the enemy closing on them with their left wing, they suffered severely ; they were compelled to abandon the guns they bad

were issued, and our troops had to beat a hasty retreat into the entrenchments, leaving standing camp, to the west of the Canal, in the hands of the enemy. Our loss was proportion- ~ ately heavy, and several of our men, and some officers, tell — alive into the hands of the enemy. Our camp and stores they burned, and that same evening advancing close to our entrenchment, took possession of and burned the cold weather clothing for our men, which had been stored up at Cawapore, On the following day the rebels attacked the entrenchment, commencing with a very heavy cannonade from the right and left of their lin ‘Windham attempted a sortie, in which, after some fighti.a's¢he Rifles managed to capture two guns, but our right were driven back with loss.

would have found it a difficult matter to cross the Ganges; — but the rebels, not expecting his return, and making sure of Windbam’s force, were probably anxious to avail themselves of the bridge of boats to crush Sir Colin Campbell.

Dovst» Derear or tum Exemy.—* The movements of the favourite lieutenant of Sir Charles Napier were too prompt for them. With his artillery and cavalry he marched thirty eight miles in fifteen hours, crossed the Ganges by the bridge of boats on the night of the 28th, on the next day fell upon the rebels, drove them back in a way which made the troops feel that they once more had a gener: ] at their head, into the town, and threatened on the left bank by the Oude insurgents, he in the space of two days successfully effected this very delicate operation. He did not at once attack the enemy. Commanding from the entrenchment the head of the road to Allahabad, he made arrangements for a safe escort for the ladies, sick, and wounded, as far as that station, remaining meanwhile on the defensive. On the morning of the Gt, the last wounded man having left the entrenchment, he turned his attention to the rebels, and at 11 o’clock moved out to attack them.

* No details of the action bad been received, but it is known that the enemy were totally and completely defeated. They lost immense quantities of stores, grain, bullocks, and baggage, sixteen guns, and their camp. They were pursued that day for fourteen miles along the road to Halpee, ina south-westerly direction. The Chief thea returned to Cawapore, leaving Brigadier Hope Grant to follow. This officer continued ; but the rebels, making a sudden detour, left the Kalpee road, and endeavoured to cross the Ganges into Oude. They reached Jooragghat, 22 miles in the direct road from Cawnpore but much longer by the route they had taken. Here they procurred boats, and were about to cross over their yet remaining guns, when our pursuing force appeared upon their rear. Brigadier Grant at once attacked, and after half an bour’s cannonading took fifteen guns, large quantities of ammunition and stores, without losing a man himself, The brigadier alone was slightly wounded. This is the latest intelligence.

The general intelligence from India is gratifying. No new outbreaks of consequence have taken place, CUvntral India remains tranquil. The Bombay Presidency is disturb only by some scattered tribes. The Punjaub and the Madras *

residency are as firm as ever. The rebels in Oude have temporarily forced the Ghoorkas about Azimghur to fall back on Benares, but these movements will be brought to & close as soon as Sir Colin Campbell is able to direct ® sufficient force against the enemy.
