Copy of a letter from Lady Sale to Gen. Sir Robert Sale, from Cabul, giving a precis of events in that city from the 2nd to the 5th of November, 1841, and despatched all the 9Lh of that f month:- My dear Sale,-The last letter I had from you was dated the first, from Gundamuck. On the second, an insurrection broke out in Cabul, the shops plundered, Johnson's house and treasury looted (stripped) and burnt. He was in cantonments, his guards and servants murdered. Troup and Warburton were in cantonments; their houses burnt; Sir A. Burnes, his brother, and Broadfoot, murdered Skinner supposed to be secreted by j hi* gomashta; Start was sent by the general a message, and was Itabbed in four places in the king's presence—the face, the I shoulder, a glance on the arm, and on the side. There are three principal chiefs at the head of this-Abdoola Khan, Atehokaye Moot a Monin, and Secunda Khan. The Kussul. bashes are in, but are afraid to declare openly in our favour. Shelton, with two regiments and one company, in the Bala llissar. On the third the 27th came in. They had to fight their way, being followed by 200 men, and had five killed, and fifteen wounded. Gordon slightly wounded. A number of Kohistanees came into Cabul. The Trevors got out of the city with just the clothes they had on their backs. The house burnt. The Affgbans attacked (lie cantonment and fort, but were repulsed by Waller, who was wounded by a ball, which lodged in his armpit. Another large party, who have raised the religious standard, came against the cantonment at the rear gate, where our guns dealt destruction, and the cavalry cut them up. Sturt able to speak, 1 the wound in his shoulder deep, the side not so bad, the lungs uninjured, the face wound near the corner of the eye he was struck on the bone with such force, that he was stunned for the moment; he had warded off two blows. On the fourth, Khan Shurreen Khan and others drove part of the fighting men out of the town. The enemy took posses- sion of the small fort nearly opposite our bazaar that joins on the king's gardens. The guns played all day against the gate of the Shah Bagh, which is fllled with the enemy it cannot he blown open with powder, as there are too many people about it. A large body of horsemen showed themselves on the Shah Sang-hill. Mahmoud Khan's fort, where the tower has been thrown down, has been taken possession of by the enemy. He is on our side, and therefore they have cut off his son's ears. We shotted and shelled the fort opposite our bazaar all day, but with little or no effect. The Kohistances up in arms and furious. Maule and Wheeler murdered; their men over- powered. Maule's servant alone escaped came in half naked saw killed Gordon and Swayne, of the 44th Robertson, of the 44th, and four men wounded. Walsh, Hollaken, Warren, and 16 men. 6th cavalry, wounded 31 missing. At tea-time an alarm very brisk firing. 51h instant,—The troops employed all day. Guns and mortars, with shot and shell, at the fort, with very little effect. 6th instant,—Sturt insisted, weak as he was, in shirt plasters, and pay-jumas (drawers) on going to the General ( Elphinstone), as there was no engtoeer there but himself. We have only Waiburton and Eyre as artillery-officers-no laboratory,man-the General gave him leave to do what he pleased-by teu we got all in order—by twelve a good breach, and in a few minutes it was carried—Roban killed-Dear wounded—Hobhouse aud 12 of the 13th volunteered for the assault-one man seriously wounded—those of the enemy who escaped were joined by a large body of horsemen, well dressed and mounted, evidently Kussulbasti-Sturt says not more than 2000, others say 3000-a beautiful sight—Ander- son's horse charged up the hill, and drove the enemy all along the crest of it to the extreme left, where the 5'h cavalry charged up-they were hemmed in—at this time more Affghau tioise came up, and they had a great struggle with swords, but the Affghan matchlock was so hot, that they in turn drove ours back all along the ridge, and they had out numbered us so greatly as to be able to retire in excellent order. Anderson's horse again went up the road to challenge them, hut the ir position was good and they maintained it. W r lud eve'y man out on duty cantonments. A brigade w-x .nui'li wanted in the field. Two guns of Warburton's were *nzrd by the enemy in the city, and the men forced to «.vuik ihem- They have thrown a number of balls into cantonments and into Sturt's garden, from Mahmoud Khan's fort. Sir William Macnaghten has given 50,000 rupees to a Kussulbash chief to create a diversion in our favour, and promised him two lacs if he succeeds. The Envoy and the General agreed to send for the 13th and 3i.lh (Sale's brigade)—at first the General would not, but yesterday the order went off for you to return with the 13th and 35lh, leaving your sick, wounded, and bag- gage in safety to come on by long marches but much respon- sibility is thrown on you in this way, and you will have to fight great numbers near this, whatever the state of the country may be far off. The enemy have bad possession of the Commissariat Fort these two days— to-day they have set it on fire, as also a village near the town that fired on them. We thought it was the city on fire. Sturt got the wall of the garden near the Commissariat Fort down by the Sappers to-day- A new king and vizer had been set up, but the other chiefs will not have them. Codring- lon's corps in Chareckan surrounded-all the officers wounded -Rattray and Salisbury killed. Sturt's wounds are doing well, but he overworks his strength his mind keeps him up and Uarcourt tells me to give him wine and arrow.root. He cannot open his mouth to get food in properly. His tongue and throat have suffered, and all the nerves about. He is out ali day, and the soldiers help him about. Last night he did not !O to bed till one, and then was waked up by a note. Macken- zie defended the fort he was in till bis amunition was expended, and then cut his way out: has three wounds. We have in telligence we were to be attacked to-night, and that they were making boosa bays to throw into the ditch. No one had mad< arrangements for an attack. The General and Anquetil gavt Strut a carte blanche. He has told off the officers and peoplp to their posts, and paraded them this evening, and at nine went wilh Panlon, Eyre, and Peliew all the rounds. The envoy is in cantonments, and his place is a cavalry and infantry en- trenched camp, and the walls loop-holed. We have a nine and a six-pounder in the battery next us, fifteen guns in position, the walls well-manned, and our men staunch. If we get ovt-r to night, we shall, I tlust, repel the enemy till you arrive. Heaven shield us all I should not be neivous if I could see what was going on. I hope they will not attack us this night, but the unusual stillness of no firing looks lue mischief. "8th instant.—We had an alarm at four 0 clock. I he enemy attempted to take the fort back again. They mined a large hole, and set fire to the bastion, but were driven back. We are all in high spirits, and look forward to your arrtval with interest and anxiety. With our united Iove, FLORENTINE SALE." a—ssi £ = ■

THE TARIFF.—The Premier has recently given a prac- tical illustration of the special favour with which, in his present peculiar and ticklish position with respect to his income tax and tariff, he is disposed to regard the labour- ing classes, and which we mention in the hope that the hint will not be lost on the workmen in other trades on whom the tariff is likely to inflict injury. The case we allude to is the following: -On the appearance of the tariff, the fancy paper manufacturers took alarm at the large reduction in the import duty on the foreign article. A deputation of the trade waited a few days since on Sir R. Peel, to re- present to him the serious injury which the proposed re- duction of the duty would inflict on their interests, and to request that the present amount of protection might be retained; as little short of absolute ruin to the English manufacturer would result, if the duty were re- duced to the extent proposed by the new tariff. They were received with much politeness by the Pre- mier, who listened attentively to their representations; but at the close of their case expressed his determination to adhere to his proposed reduction. The deputation re- tired with chagiin, having failed to shake the purpose of the minister. The result of the interview was communi- cated by the masters to their workmen, who were obviously as deeply interested in the proposed change of duty on the articles, as the manfacturers; seeing wages would fall to a fearfully low point if they were compelled to compete with the foreign article. What was to be done? If the minister would not listen to the masters, it was not very likely he would listen to the men; the merits of the case being precisely similar, quoocl the tariff But then there was Sir Robert Peel's own statement of the boon his tariff would prove to the working classes; who, he hoped, would, in token of their gratitude, attend meetings called to petition against the income tax, and prevent such peti- tions from finding their way in inconvenient numbers to the House of Commons, to endanger h.s grand financial remedy. There was, therefore, some hope that the work- men might prevail, though the masters a pr e cessful. A meeting of the men was called a deputation of the body appointed to wait 011 the minis er, m was fixed for the interview; and, introduced to epre e o Premier, told their tale of anticipated diminti n ployment and consequent injury to labour-w g y e proposed reduction of duty on the foreIgn article. After hearing their statement, the Premier realise aifnrl u language in the house had tended to create. • e dismissed them with the gratifying assurance i* o ject of their visit was attained, and that the 1 uiy o" g fancy papers, should remain untouched by hi* ft on e tion of the tariff. The men were, of course, flighted. They had accomplished what their makers ha < effect; and became so many heralds ol Sir Ro er ee sympathy for and condescension to the woiking c asses the community.— Globe. f Contracts were on Friday made by governrn 60,000 pairs of boots and shoes for the armyi and o, pairs for convicts.

THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired function, of life, and is exclusively directed to the cure of such com- plaints as arise from a disorganization of the Generative Sys- tem, whether constitutional or acquired, toss of sexual power, and syphilitic disease and is calculated to afford decided re- lief to those who by early indulgence in solitary habits have weakened the powers of their system, and fallen into a state of chronic debility, by which the constitution is left in a deplo- rable state, and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life The consequences arising from this dangerous practice are not confined to its pure physical result, but branch to moral ones leading the excited, deviating mind into a fertile field of seduc- tive error, into a gradual and total degradation of manhoi>d> into a pernicious application of those inherent rights which natuft wisely instituted foi the preservation of herspecies bringing on premature decripitude, and all the habitudes of old age ;-such an one carries with him the form and aspect of other men, but without the vigour and energy of that season which his ea'ly youth bade him hope to attain. Hnw many men cease to be men, or at least, cease to enjoy manhood at thirty ? How many at eighteen receive the impression of the seeds of syphi- litic disease itself? the consequences of which travel out of the ordinary track of bodily ailment, covering the frame with dis gusting evidences of its ruthless nature, and impregnating the wholesome stream of life with mortal poison conveying into families the seeds of disunion and unhappiness; undermining domestic harmony; and striking at the very soul of human intercourse. the teartuny aousea powers 01 me numan generative Sys- tem require the most cautious preservation and the debility iind disease resulting from early indiscretion demand, for the cure of those dieadful evils, that such medicines should be em, ployed that are most certain to be successful.
