'-•kbsettt iii Asliantee,-ail the furniture and goods which he had stored at the Pan technicon were destroyed by fire. _ Wolseley’s first fight with the Sepoys was at Bithoor. Returning from that place, Wolseley was desp itched with a convoy, under Major Barnston, to the Alumbagh. This they reached after a slight skirmish, and on the 14th of November Major Barnston’s battalion of detachments started with Sir Colin • (Campbell (to relieve . the • Residency of Lucknow. Captain Wolseley" was hotly engaged throughout the operations, and displayed the utmost coolness ancl in trepidity. This was particularly the case at the storming of the Mess-house., Sir Colin Campbell had known Captain Wol aeley [by repute : in the Crimea, and picked him out to lead the assault: The building was surmounted by a loopholed mud wail, inside which was a ditch 12 feet broad, scarped with masonry and crossed by drawbridges, but it was not known whether the latter were down or not. The house, which was strongly built had been battered' by artillery for some three hours. Rushing across the inter vening space, well ahead of his men, lie and his company were exposed to a hot fire from the neighboring buildings. Arrived at the mud wall above-mentioned he paused for a moment to recover breath, and then clambered into the garden, when he came across many match-lock men ‘. who fired at him., Crossing-the garden, • he -fortunately found- the drawbridge down, and passing over it entered the C house,; which, had been -abandoned, and hastening to the roof, planted a flag to show that lie was in possession. Twice was the flag struck down by the enemy’s x~ bullets,, twice , was .it .replaced, ,b.ut at length the fire become so hot' that Wol seley and ; his men had to seek cover. Captain Irby, with his company, came up in [ support and was ordered to attack some houses on the' left, while Wolseley cleared those -on the right, the fire from pphothi* points being very, heavy.; M Having accomplished this task he' resolved, though without orders, to carry the Motti Mahal. He encountered severe' opposition, and ,had ,to .send,..some of his men back to bring up tools fo force the newly built-up ; gateway.. A private named Andrews, who had been Wolseley’s ' servant'"’' in the .• Crimea,,:ran out from cover, to show the party bringing up the tools the way; He was immediately shot down by a bullet --'fired from' a loophole only five or six yards distant. Wolseley at once sprang out and brought him back. A Sepoy from the loophole above alluded to took • ‘deliberate aim at Wolseley, but his shot missed him and passed through the body of Andrews.”"'After a time Wolseley’s men succeeded in making a narrow, hole in a wall, through which an entrance was effected into a courtyard. The enemy, however, made a desperate resistance and contested -every: room.. .At length they were driven completely out of the net work of buildings, many of the garrison being forced into-the Goomtee, where Vth'ey'i.were • :dro.wned:.j From . ’the' Motti Mahal Wolseley fought his way into the ,and; thus ; .finished ob glorious and hard a day’s fighting as any man ever rhad.;.ihkv.';” 7: nr,. •: :ul: •..> ‘

“ It will be allowed that Wolseley had good reason to anticipate the congratula tions and thanks of the Commander-in- Chief for his conduct, but what was his astonishment on learning from his Briga dier, the Hon. Adrian Hope, that Sir Colin was furious with him for having exceeded the letter of instructions in that, when he was only ordex-ed to take the Mess-house, he actually of his own notion had driven the enemy out of the Motti Mahal. The Brigadier advised him to keep out of the way as the Chief was asking for him, and he never saw a man more enraged in his life. ”

-The next morning he did come across Sir Colin, who at first administered a severe rebuke, but after a time, as was his wont in such a case, the gallant veteran cooled down, congratulated him on his coinage and ability, and promised to recommend him for promotion. After the relief of the garrison of the Residency Captain Wolseley remained at the Alum bagh with Sir James Outrain, and subsequently took part in the capture of Lucknow. Immediately after he was recommended by the Adjutant-General, Lord Longford, for staff employment, arid he -was appointed Deputy-Assistant- Quartermaster-Generalin Sir Hope Grant’s Division, with which he was actively ein ployed-, till the last spark of the Mutiny had be'en stamped out. For his services he obtained first a brevet majority arid afterwards a brevet lieutenant-colonelcy. Five months were passed peacefully in Lucknow, and then Wolseley proceeded to China "&S"Deputy-Assistant-Quarter master-General in charge of the Topo graphical Department of Sir Hope Grant’s army. At the capture of the Taku Forts he was, notwithstanding that his duties did not require him to be with the asault ing column, with the advance party.. On the march to Pekin he surveyed the whole route, ’ ari’d • on one occasion was nearly cut off while so employed by a body of the enemy’s horsemen. He had a still narrower escape from a cruel death, for owing to his being detained completing a survey; ; Captain Brabazon, instead of Colonel Wolseley, was sent on the ill-fated mission to Tung-Chow. * Arriving in England in-May 1861, he was, in December of the same year, de spatched, to Canada as Assistant Quarter master-General, ancl did niuch hard work in connection with the transport of the reinforcements sent out on account of the Trentaffair. In the autumn oflß62lie turned his leave to account by making an adven turous journey to visit the Southern army, which he succeeded in reaching with great difficulty. He then returned to England for surgical advice, the leg which had been wounded in the Crimea giving him great pain. After a few months’ stay at home he resumed his duties in Canada, where his services were in requisition in connection with the Fenian invasion and the training of the Canadian Militia. In April 1867 his five years’ staff service having more than expired, he was relieved, but in the autumn of the same year returned to Canada as Deputy- Quartermaster-General. Colonel Wolseley, for lie had attained that rank, was certainly fortunate in having attained so high a position at the early age of 34, but it must be admitted, even by the greatest grumblers in the Senior Service United Club, that he had liberally purchased liis advancement with his blood and services. His rise up to . 1870 was, however, nothing to what it was afterwards. In that year he was en trusted {with thp command, of, the lied

River Expedition. There was no fight ing, hut- the young officer displayed so much energy and administrative skill that his fame was at once established, while liis merit was marked by a C.8.-ship, and being created a K.C.M.G. After six months of half-pay service he was ap pointed Assistant-Adjutant-Genei’ul at the Horse Guards, where he remained till the autumn of 1873, when he was entrusted with the military and civil command on the Gold Coast. The events of the Ash antee campaign have been so copiously described and are so fresh in the memory of the public that we shall pas 3 over that episode of his career. ■ Sir Garnet un doubtedly showed skill and energy, and achieved success.

Appointed Inspector-General of Auxili ary Forces, he was in February 1875 sent out to put matters right in Natal, and by his tact and personal influence was com pletely successful. Returning in October to England, he resumed his duties at the War Office, but in November the follow ing year was appointed a member of the Council of India, which post he resigned to proceed on the 15th of July, 1878, to Cyprus. His duties have been of a peculiarly difficult character. Sir Garnet Wolseley returned, to London on the 21st of June, having accomplished an irksome duty to the satisfaction of the Govern ment, and without unfavorable criticism on the part of the public. A new task awaited him, in South Africa, where at this moment he is succeeding in gathering up the loose ends of a rebellion, having brought King Cetewayo to his knees and the terrible Zulus to submission.
