The scene is indescribable. With the exception of compar- atively few, those who did not fall by the sword or gun, fell victims to the devouring flame. Here, there, and everywhere the dead were to be seen; and as for the village itself, the heart sickens at the thought. Yet the scoundrels did not surrender until the next morning, (24th), when we were playing upon them with an 8-inch howitzer and an I8- pounder. It was only then they waved their “ flag of truce,” and as soon as we ceased firing they came out of -the village, and were mide prisoners to the vumber of 150, The enemy's loss is estimated at about 2,000 killed.

Gevenat Haverocx.—Six months ago and the departed general was plain Colonel Havelock, and his name was scarcely known beyond his own immediate circle. He had served in the Affyhan war, and bad written a memoir of the campaigns throagh which he served. It was only in July last that we heardwf his splendid victories, which had fol- lowed each other in such rapid succession, that one, or at the most two successive mails brought us the news of all. Well, he lived to see Delhi taken, and to relieve the garrison of Luckaow ; and we ean say of bim as Tacitus said of Agricola, “ In vero felix, non solum vite claritate sed etiam oppor- tunitate mortis.”

The late Sir Henry Havelock, Bart., K.C.B., was the second of the four sons of the late William Havelock, Esq, of Ingress Park, near Greenhithe, Kent, and of Bishops- wearmouth, county Durbam, by Jane, daughter of the late John Carter, Eeq., of Yarmouth. He was born at Bishops- wearmouth, Apri! 5, 1795. Our readers are well aware that the Charter House is the school which reared the future hero, and that he bore among his schoolfellows the cognomen of “ Old Phioss,” on account of his sage and thoughtful demeanour. Among his contemporaries at Charter House he numbered Lord Panmure, Dr. Connop Thirlwall, Bishop of St. Dayid’s, Mr. George Grote, Sir Charles Eastlake, Archdeacon Hare, the late Sir W. MacNaghten, and Dr. Waddington, Dean of Durham. In 1813 he was entered as a student at the Middle Temple, where he was the pupil of Chitty, and the friend of the late Judge Talfourd. His elder brother, the late Colonel William Havelock (who was afterwards killed at Ramnugger in 1845), had distinguished himself in the Peninsula and at Waterloo, and fortunately commanded sufficient interest to obtain a commission for his younger brother Henry, who was gazetted a month after the battle of Waterloo to a Second Lieutenautcy in the Rifle Brigade. He bezan and completed his military training under the gallant Sir Harry Smith, the victor of Aliwal, and served for some eight years in England, Scotland, and Ireland. At length he effected an exchange into the 13th Light lofantry, and embarked for India in 1853. In the following year he took part in the first Burmese war, and was afterwards sent on a mission to the Court of Ava. In

1827 he became Adjutant of the Military Depot at Chinsurat under Lord Combermere. He subsequently visited Calcutta, and having passed in the languages at Fort-William, was appointed Adjutant of his regiment by Lord W. Bentinck. In 1838 he was promoted to a company, and served on the staff of General Sir Willoughby Cotton in the invasion of Affghanistan, and was present at the capture of Ghuznee in 1839, under the late Lord Keave. He was shortly afterwards sent to the Punjaub in charge of a detachment, and was

laced on the staff of General Elphinstone as Persian interpreter, He subsequently served in Cabul under the late Sir Robert Sale, and commanded a column in the final successful attack on Mahomed Akbar in April, 1842, for

which service be was made a U.B. We find him afterwards

Joseph Radetzky, lately commander of the Austrian army in Italy, was born at Trebnitz, in Bohemia, in 1766, His predilection for military adventures wis early developed, and he commenced his military career onthe Ist of Angust, 1781, asa cadet in a cavalry regiment. He was called to take part in the long struggle with ‘Napoleon, and in the

battles of 1818, 1814 and 1815, he gained honorable

laurels. He has since been nothing more than the able executioner of a soul-crushing tyranny. Having been suc- cessively Governor of Ofen (Hungary), Olmutz (Moravia), and . Lemberg (Poland), he was, in 1822, appointed Com- mander General of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. In 1856, Radetzky, having become old aud feeble, resigned his command in Daly. : ;

THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL.

: ‘ Tue Brrpaswarps’ Dresses. —Th@ costhme chosen for

this bright bevy the Princess herself Qesigned, and had one made to judge of its effect. The artiste to whom this im-

| portant task was confided, while literally executing the com- mand, made another robe, with some tions and

additions, which she thought would beighten the effect. Both dresses were then submitted to the Princess for appro- val, an! a combination of the two was finally determined on. The absence of the Duchess de Brabangd. from the marriage of the Princess Royal is in deference to €e medical advisers of the Royal Dachess, who do not think it sate for her to risk a sea voyage in her present intagesting condition, It has not yet been quite determined whether the bridal train will leave this country from Gravesend or not.

Tae Princess Roya anv ruz BatMonat Corracers.— Nowhere else, perhaps, is the state_of royalty so entirely laid aside as at Balmoral, and nowhere else does joyous, sympathetic human nature shine out more undisguisedly amoug the younger members of the Royal Family. Some of our readers may smile, on being tald that a Princess has, in this nineteenth century, donned the housewife’s apron, and “tried her hand’’ at stirring the porridge pot. One anecdote we have heard of the Princess Royal is this :— “Several years ago, when quite a young girl, a matron, for whom her Royal Highness had a special liking. had added one more to her hushand’s family. The baby, of course, was an object of superlative iutetest; and, when the christeving was about to take place, the Princess asked to be permitted to attend and act as godmother, This was freely agreed to. The day came, avd so did his presbyterian re- verence, but the expected godmother, from some cagse, did not make her appearance, and afiera little time the ceremony went on in her absence. It was barely concluded when the Princess came, breathless with haste and excitement. On being told how matters stood, her undisguised fvelings found vent in a sorrowful “Oh! but couldu’t you do it over again?” When the court left Balmoral, last summer, the dependents were invited up to the lawn to bid farewell to her Royal Highness. The feelings of the Princess so over- come her, however, that she was unable to make her appear- ance before them, and the Prince Consort bade adieu on her behalf. Invitations to be in Lowdon at the Princess’s marriage have, we hear, been sent, by her own special re-

uest, to Dr. Robertson, the Prince Consorts commissioner, and to Mr. Grant, the head gamekeeper at Balmoral.

Albion, Jan. 20.

William Walker, in his speech at Mobile, said that last

letter written in June was published by the President’s consent. A day or two afterwards he was invited to an interview with a Cabinet Minister, who sought to obtain his confidence. The minister told him where to go with safety, and where with danger—remarking, ‘* You will probably sail in an American vessel, under the American flag. After you bave passed “American limits, no ove can touch you but by consent of this government.”

During an interview between a friend of Walker and a cabinet minister, when an alliance with Mexico and the con-

A terrible scene ensued. Several were smothered or crushed to death in their efforts to escape, and many were badly injured. The number of dead is seven. Two have their backs broken,—The number injured is not yet known.

The fire took from the heater. The teachers in one of the rooms noticing an unusual heat, began to open window after window, and it was not till the smoke came pouring into the room that the true cause was suspected. The teachers showed great firmness and courage in their attempts to rescue tne children, and remained in the rooms till all were cleared. Many children were saved by being thrown from the windows and caught in the arms of the people below, None were burned, so far as is known.

The school was for both sexes, but all the dead are boys. The building was the largest, finest and the most complete of

Taz Mormon War.—The St. Louis Republican has in- formation from Fort Laramie, through an Indiag trader, who arrived at Jefferson city on Monday, and we reported meeting on the 23d December between 600 and 760 Cheyenne and Camanche Indians, returning from Salt Lake to their villages on the Black Walnut Hiils, about eigiaty miles south- east of Fort Laramie. They were accompanied by about twenty Mormon leaders. It was their intention to remain in the camp erected there till spring, and then employ them- selves under Mormon influences in harassing and cutting off the supply trains seat to the relief of Col. Johnston. The Indians had been led to betieve that the Mormons had 80,000 fighting men, well equipped for service. They also spoke of numerous fortifications, and a large number of Lndian allies, and declared that the Mormons have no idea of running away from Utah.

Tue Furcere Capitat.—lIt is officially announced that the Imperial authorities have selected Ottawa City, as the per- manent seat of Government for Canada. The advantages, or otherwise, of this choice, may better be discussed by our local contemporaries ; but it is at least a matter of congratolation that the question is finally determined. Our American readers may be informed that Ottawa City, formerly Bytown, is situated on the picturesque river bearing the same name. It lies about 120 miles west from Montreal, and nearly the same distance E. N. E. from Kingston, with which the Rideau Canal connects it. Jt is a thriving place, with abont ten thousand inhabitants, and will of course receive considerable impetus from this important decision. . : -arliament is summoned to meet for the despatch of business on the 25th of next month; but the ministerial difficulties remain so far unadjusted.

THE FANATICS OF THE * PROTECTOR” vs. CO , SCHOOL EDUCATION. ; Mr. Epiror,—It is exceedingly unfortunate that, for s trial of the school law, and what is still more, for the interes of education, the choice of the members composing the Be of Education did not fall upon persons better qualified o monize the conflicting feelhngs and prejudices of the e« oe In most respects the present entered on under the most auspicious circumstances ; but in all pre ity, the very qualities for which some of its members were pointed, are precisely those which obviously unfitted them for discharging its obligations with advantage to the community, The men who would best serve the public should be g men possessed not only of a sufficient education, but enlarged minds, liberal views, deep and intimate know the haman heart, and, if possible, a blending of enthusiasm ip favor of fo ogee education. All these properties make apg — character the very reverse of what many of the members of ow Board have so far exhibited. Whoever has watched closely their official conduct thus far, must have perceived that t estimate of the office imposed on them, is, first and mainly, the varied and different interests of common school edacati but to see that the Bibleshould be read ; and whoever at the present the pertinacity with which they held on to single idea, will easily believe that they are determined break up the whole machinery of our common schools than relinquish it. eh Now the reading of the Bible is a very good thing in itso time and place, but the community have ‘and coi ing opinions, both as to the expediency of introd as to the version to be preferred.
