A deepit.-h from LttA Wolseley, dated Korti, J LUry Slut, real* : General Stewart bai bad a heavy engagement with portion of tbe Mahdi's force* close to tho Abo Klia well*, near MetauDeb. Tbe rebels bd collected rom Barber.lu'etamneh and OoadoramaoD. Thin lasi place wan recently captured by tbe Mahdi, and thai the meo were released from there to fight Ool. Stewart. On tbe aftsruoou of January 16 ib Gen. Steward cavalry repoitaJ that tbe eoemy were in position a few mi lee ihiH rile uf tbe wells. Ai it wae too late 111 tbe day to allow an advance and eaooeeeful encounter, Geu. Stewart bivouacked for the night. Tbe enemy kept up a barmkw ure all nii(bt, and erected work* on Gen. Kuwaiti right flack. Oa Batarday Gen. Stewart endeavored to draw the enemy on to make an attack, but they hesitated. In COD sequel oj of tbU Gin. Slewarl left all bin impedimenta and camelii under guard, aud moved forward, keeping hie force* in tbe form of a tij aare. Tbe men were on foot. Th* Briuah army pawed routd the enemy'* left flank, forcing tbem to make an attack or be rabjMt to an enfilade fire. The eoemy wheeled to the left aud delivered well orgamzsd charge under a withering tire from our men. The QruSJI WAS UNf;UTf!*TILT rBHBTBITSD by the nheer weight of number* about ite Ull rear, where tbe heavy cavalry and oamel regiment were in position. The admirable steadiness of our men enabled them to maintain a baud to-hand Q<bt with tbe opposing force, while a aevtr* punishment waa being inflicted upon tbe enemy by all tbe other parte of the eqnare. The enemy were finally driven back under heavy fire from all tide*. Tbe Nine- teenth Huaaar* then puihed forward to the well*, which were in our poeaeeeion by 6 in the evening. The enemy left not leee than 400 ilain around the square. Tbe prisoners who were taken while the enemy were retiring report tbe number of enemy wounded wee quite exceptional. One effect of tbe battle i* that many of tbe rebel* are submitting. It wae ueoeeeary for tbe army to rim tin at tbe well* acme hour* to obtain water. Aa soon a* praotioabl* the inten- tion waa to i uu ou witb all expedition to Metamneb, Tbe Englieh wonuded are dtiog well.

How much did you use of other material to convert that into a pudding T " " I aee what yon are aiming at, aantie," 'a iuy exclaimed, laughing alillle. " 1 used a 4 larl of milk, a cup of sugar, two sggs, and a little spioe and sail. 1 wanted to use another rgg and cup of raieins, but thought t would bt extravagant, although I really think ws should hav* eateu more of it if 1 had don* no."

Now, although 1 do not adviss any ons to throw away a plsteful of stale bread, it is sometimes ths most economical thing to do with it, especially in hot weather, when it i. very apt to mould. At other time* I would advise yon to eat off any brown crnsta, break in small piece*, and dry nol toast II in the oven when th* fir* I. very low.

Yon will find it very convenient to ass in preparing a dish of soilloped oyster*, meat, egg* or tomatoes for all of which II is far nicer than cracker crumb* for bread sauce and many other things. Ths bread may be used in various ways. If tbe slices are nol broken or too thick, they mak* delicious browned sandwiches, which I make very often Chop very fine any pieoee of oold aaeal roamed, boiled or broiled. A smaller quantity than will suffice for an v thing except a meal omelet will be sufficient to make a plateful of these. Put tbe chopped meat into a saucepan with loffteient cream, milk or boiling water to moUten il ; season well with butter and salt, add a tiny bit of Cayenne pepper, a little dry mustard and drop or two of celery extract. It is mpossible to give tbe quantities, as listen differ, and the quantity of meat is so .mall, but il sboold be well sea Houed. Let II heal thoroughly, taking care it doe* not uorob, and remove from tbe fir*. Beat two egg* well, and add to hem a teaoui f ul of milk and half a tea- spoonful of salt. Cat the dry crust from its shoes of bread th* above quantity of egg and milk will be sufficient for eight slioes and if they are thiok, split tbem carefully with a sharp, thin knife. Spread a shoe with a thin layer of the chopped neat, cover with a slice of bread, and press togeth jr. Proceed in this manner till the meat aud bread are u.ed, aod oat each sandwich in halves. Place them on a lite, and pour milk and eggs ovsr them slowly, dipping It with a spoon from tbe plate and putting it over them until il ie all absorbed.

" We often UH the atal* uliooe of bread wphoat the meat, jOMltoakiug tbem in the egg aud milk, and browning nicely. It Is one of tbe favorite) method* of uiing etale bread in oar family. From broken elieet we often mak* a poddiug, simple, 11 is eras, bat very nice. Remove all the ornsta, and chop the bread but not very fine. To a quart of tbe crumb* allow fifteen tart, juicy apple*) or eighteen peaches, fully ripe. Peel tbe fruit, siloing the apples, or cutting the peaohe* luto eight or ten pieces, according to BIBS. Hut -r a puddiog-paa which will bold two quart*, or a lit tin more, and cover tbe Bottom with a layer of bread crumb*. ' Fill tbe diib with alternate layers of frail and crambo, having a layer of th. latter on the top.
