ATTEMPT TO FORM A 6QT7ARE,

General Baker sent General Sartorius back on the instant to form up a square of the infantry with the baggage and transport in the middle. This he essayed to do, but two companies of the Alexandra regiment refused to budge an inch. The guns, Turkish infantry, Bezingers, and Cairo battalion formed up, however, fairly well) and the front and two sides of the square looked steady, whilst tho rear side of the square gradually seemed to fill up. On came the enemy. Without a word of command the square then opened a tremen dous fire, undirected. The Egyptian cavalry came dashing in, in full flight, breaking up the General's staff for the moment, and in full fire of the square, which would surely have annihilated them all had not the fire been principally directed into the air. All around came the rebels, some with guns, some with spears and swords, some on horseback, but mostly on foot. Inside the square the reserve were firing right into the air. Camels and mules with their drivers were mingled in one hopeless mass, and movement of any kind was impossible, (Your correspondent was in the square, having missed the officer to whom he was attached as aide-de-camp in the rush.) I saw General Sartorius come along outside the square, and could dis tinguish, when the smoke permitted, that he was marching in front of the firing ranks, pushing down their rifles, and entreating the men to fire low and coolly. Then the crush in the square became fearful, and I saw the rebels creeping up rapidly under our fire, and suddenly they were upon us. Our square seemed to be closing in upon itself, and the condition of the inside is quite impossible to be described. As I was swept to and fro upon my horse I saw the Kgyptian cavalry in full flight, and General Sartorius using all his endeavours to arrest nnd turn them. At the same moment the Arabs came to close quarters, and I saw the mon in front of me ceaße firing, THROW DOWN THEIR AKMS, AND TORN BOUND SHRIEKING.. The rebels stabbed several in the back, and this making a small opening, I pushed my horse forward, discharging my revolver as well as I could right into the crowd. I was attacked on several aides, and whilst, shooting a man on my rights received two stabs with a spear in my left side. I turned and shot the man. The stabs passed through my military greatcoat, which the' suddenness of the attack had given me no time to remove, and which waa still wet with the heavy rain of the morn ing. The spear must have either turned upon a buckle of my sword belt or the brass hook in my jacket which supported the belt, for I felt myself unhurt. I joined General Sartorius in his efforts to turn the Egyptian cavalry, who, followed by the in fantry, and in fact by all who had man aged to get through the rebels round the square, were in full flight. A revolver in front of an officer's face and a threat to .fire were of no avail. A wild shake of the head and spurs well set in towards Trinkitat was the only reply. " The day ia lost," said General Sartorius; and I felt it was true. General Baker, who had lost nearly half his staff, and hod had very narrow shaves of his own life, then sent Sartorious off to try and arrest the men at tho narrowest part, and I returned at once to the rear to see what helpJUMttM givo, It the "square had been there was a huge mob of Arabs hacking and slicing men whose arms were thrown away, and who submitted to the : fatal blow without any attempt at resistance. Tho Turkish Infantry and European Police were cut down to a man. The guns, stores, camels, mules, everything, were taken by the ememy, just because the Egyptians had left them behind to run away. None ever came back from this moment.

THE TKAOEDY THEN WAS UNACTED, and the bravest of the whole army had been sacrificed to the damnable cowardice of the Egyptians, in whose cause we were all fighting. Here we lost our Paymaster- General, Major Morice Bey, a valuable offi cial, for many years in Egypt; Dr. Leslie, principal medical officer, who,after escaping from the dangers of the Russo-Turkish war, and that between France and Germany, came to Egypt to aid during the cholera, now laid down his life in front of the Soudan rebels. Captain Forrestie Walker, 0. C. Gatlings, ope who was saved his fate with General Hicks's army on account of being obliged to return to England from dysentery, met that fate here. Lieutenant Smith, Lieutenant Carroll of Sartoriua's staff, Drs. Carcro and Duposte, of the medical depart ment, 36 Europeans out of 38 who went out, and their two officers, Captain Rucca and Lieutenant di Marchi, Major Joseph Taher, in command of the Turkish Infantry, and his lieutenant, Anton Paleoka, and many othere. Our officers' mess at camp contained fifteen of us. We are six now ! We went out with 4,500 men, of which 2,332 are gone. But to return to

THE FLIGHT AND PtTKSCIT. Far as the eye could see, the long stream of cowards ran on. At the rear, where the weaker runners, the wounded, and the old, tailed off or fell, there hundreds of the bare, black savages were butchering all, without exception. They gave no quarter, and it was the sooner over. Two thrusts in the back, and the Egyptian shrieked no more, "I am a Moslem." "Spare me." The howls of the savage drowned the cry of mortal agony. Your correspondent, with another English officer, who joined him later, stayed close at the tail, firing round after round of their revolvers, and doing excellent work picking off the rebels one by one as they neared the rear of cur men, and so to some oxtent at least helping to savo their worthless lives. I saw one rebel Sheikh mounted on a small bay horse; he rodo him without saddle or reins, and carried a spear and shield. The latter hung at his knee. In addition to this he held a huge double-edged sword, and I saw him kill four men before I could manage to knock him over. His men immediately hurried round him, and seemed to show much anxiety as to his condition ; so I hope ho was an important rebel. Having ex hausted my ammunition, and the pursuit having slackened, I then rode forward and reached the Morass fort in time to see that General Sartorlue had absolutely failed to arrest tho flight of the men. These had thrown away their arms, those had smeared themselves with blood from wounded men or horses, and pretended they were wounded, whilst the strong and the cavalry, being able to outdistance the rest, were already far off in Trinkitat. General Baker then entered the fort, but seeing how hope less the affair was, determined to march back to Trinkitat, where General Sartorius > was sent to man the entrenchments there.

THE SCENE AT TBINKITAT. The enemy pursued up to the Morass fort, but no further, and we passed on to tho Trinkitat lines across the morasses, now a veritable Slough of Despond. At Trinkitat the men were rushing stiH into boats already full, the infantry having | thrown away their rifles, and the cavalry— at least a good half of them—having off saddled, threw aside their saddles, and let thoir horses run loose, so that they could not be again sent out. All Egyptian officors were already safe on board the stoamors in harbour, and refused to land.

The European officers wore up all i>ight embarking horsos 'aud stores. Tho General cnmplimented a few Abyssi nian soldiers who had bravely stuck to the rear, gnarding the flight of the Egyptian refugees, and he said—"Had I an army composed of men like you I would march right through the country at any moment." On Tuesday morning, tho sth, wo returned to Souakim, where Admiral Hewett had already landed 150 blueiaoketsand marines, The town was in groat danger of an attack, and I should fancy will be attacked as soon asToknrandSinkathavofallen. Wehearthat England intends to act up to her promises at last, and send an army here, \v o hope so. Meanwhile one more proof has been given, if proof woro needed, of the fact that Egyptians cannot and will not make sol diers, and that ally them as you may with good Turkish and negro fighting men, officer thorn with brave ana competent Europeans, you will only suooeod in spread? ing panic, with the result of serious disaster whenevor you go into tho field. The rebels on this occasion got a great spojl with over £500 in gold and silver, besides 3CO camels, baggage guns, and ammunition, besides guns and swords, &c. But the worst of our defeat is the certainty that all the other rebels will now feel them selves unconquerable. TheMahdi's ranks will be enormously swelled, and in fine, that the rebellion will have ceased to be a local disturbance, and will have become of the gravest national importance. No news of the intentions of the Home Government have yet reaohed us, but that England has cast a great Blur upon her re nown in giving Egypt promises England has not kept, cannot but be evident to the most casual politicians.

A considerable quantity of Canterbury wheat crop this year has been damaged in the field, and will be of little use for milling purposes. This is the reason why business is at a standstill, and no loading going on •t Ly ttelton, buyers having no confidence.

ONEHUNGA RACING CLUB.

Autumn Meeting,

The Autumn Meeting, under tho auspices of the.Onehunga Racing Club, passed off successfully on Saturday at the pretty little racecourse at Te Papapa. The weather was beautifully fine, and there must have been fully 1,000 people on the ground. One noticeable feature in connection^ with the meeting is that it was con ducted on strictly temperance principles nothing stronger ' than hop beer being obtainable. Mr Codlin acted as judge, Mr Blackburno as clerk of the scales, Mr Denize as clerk of the course and last but by no means least, Mr 0. McGee wielded the Btarter's flag. The latter was particularly successful; indeed, wo have never seen more satisfactory starting on any racecourse in or about Auckland. "The totalisator, worked under Mr Adams's management, was fairly patronised, £1,429 going through the machine, The races decided after we went to press on Saturday were:— ONBHUNGA CUP of 60 soys.; second horse to receive 10 per cent, from stakes. Dis tance, 1J miles. •Lyons -and Blaikie"s b g Woodpecker, Gyrs, Bst 41bs (Farrell) ... 1 W. Walters' blk m Fishwoman, 4yrs, Bst 41bs (McClusky) ... 2 R.

Nigger led at the start, the field in a cluster close on his heels. Tho North Shore horse maintained the lead the first time past the stand, but at the back of the course tho favourite, with out much effort, took the lead, and manag ing to stall off a plucky rush from irish woman, who came up under the whip, won by about two lengths ; a similar distance separating the Papakura representative from Venture. Totalisator dividend, £1 19s. NOVEL BACK of 20sovs. Distance, 1 mile. Tho winner to be sold by auotion imme diately after the race, the whole of the proceeds to go to the fund.

This brought the proceedings to a termi* nation. ..,..' 'Z

WAIROA SOUTH.

A meetino of settlers of South Wairoa was held in the District Hall on the 26th in. stant, Mr George Monro in the choir, who explained the object of the' meeting, viz.,; to form a Farmers' Co-operative Association; The Chairman then called upon Mr James Bell, one of the oldest settlers in tho dis trict, who had convened the meeting, to speak upon tho subject. Mr Bell stated that he had received a letter from Mr Peat cocke, ono of the directors of the North New Zealand Farmers' Association, asking him to do what he could in furthering tho interests of the Association in Wairoa South and neighbouring districts. He had seen Mr Graham at Hamilton, who was taking the necessary steps to form a Tamahere Association. He had recommended the form ation of an association that would embrace all the farmers near Auckland and the Waikato settlements. In his opinion tho wider the, scheme the better it would pay. Ho recommended further that Mr; Graham should send the canvasser, Mr Barton, to Wairoa, and he, Mr Bell,' had voluntered to take him round other districts. Mr Barton had written to say that lie would avail himself of his offer at the earliest opportunity. He, Mr Bell, felt confident that Mr Barton would be as successful near Auckland on this sides of Meroer as he had been in the Waikato. The speaker then gave.an account of a successful meeting which had recently been held at Hamilton. Mr W. H. Thorp wished to know the price of shares in the Association, and if limited or unlimited. Mr Bell replied that he had - no copies at present of the prospectus, but he understood that the Association wag limited, and the shares £1 each. . The feel ing was in favour of more members rather than large shareholders. The Canterbury Farmers Association had been of great benefit to farmers, and had been floated successfulv in Taranaki. He saw no reason why such an association should not work well in Auckland, with its ,fino harbour and direct means of importation. He would move, " That this meeting hear tily co-operate with the Waikato settlers in joining them in forming tho North New Zealand Farmers' Co-operative Association." Mr Elliott seconded, and it was carried unanimously. Mr D. Crawford proposed, and it was carried, " That Messrs 801 l ana Elliott be appointed a committee to canvass the district for members." It was suggested that each district should have a local repre sentative on the directorate. The mooting was harmonious throughout, and cloaca with a vote of thanks to the Chairman^ '••

Foreign Policy.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—l was much pleased with your article of Saturday on "tho English in Egypt ;"' had feared lest we had nobody here to fairly present to the people the truth of. tno> matter. Many here have been for long so - led and misled by the "Standard" newsi paper, which is inspired by Northcpteand the rattle-brained Churchill, that a wholly perverted view of public, politics has been largely prevalent in this far-away place./ "Vacillation! vaoillation!" Gammon j*. to carry out tho policy, or sham policy, of Northcote would assuredly be arrant folly per sa, and ruinous in results.: >i I discern deep wisdom in every move of our present Cabinet. The gigantic Barcourt, 1 member for Oxford, is a noble, pluckyiel- '':■ low. Granville is in verity; and not in pretence, a noble lord. Gladstone said.the . other day we are not at war: we are fighting rebels in defence of the Egyptian Govern ment, and of our large property in Egypt i Sir, accept my thanks for the raid article,-V reckoned to be pervaded by relative truth of faot and honest plain sense.—l am, &c, W. E. Sawjbb.

Coach Regularity and Accommodation.

(To tho Editor.) Sib, —I desiro to complain of tho manner in which the Lake Takapuna coach arrange ments are carried out. Such a want of regularity and accommodation I never before witnessed, and, being a stranger here, naturally felt surprised to find things so. Ey advertisement the proprietory state "that coaches leave the Victoria Wharf,' Dovonport,atXo.2oa.m.,2p.m".,and4.2op.m. and returr. from the Takapuna School house at 11.15 a.m., 3 p.m., and 5.15 p.m.; but, as a fact, this arrangement is not strictly adhered to, and the practice pre« vails of sending a vehicle only when ample guarantee is given, totally ignoring the convenience of settlers at tho Lake, as well' as that of visitors, who may be waiting for a coach at various points on the road. And the accommodation .'—Without hesitation, I say it is wretchedness itself. If the line is not a pecuniary success, why not dia- § continue it, and, at the some time, cease fa • misguide the public? lam convinced that,. with proper management, the line would be remunerative, because, irrespective of the settlers there, the fine lake and its pretty surroundings are sufficiently attractive to cause an almost regular traffic that way.-I am, &c, Visitor.
