FA CV in the splendid annals of British prowess in India few things more heroic have ever been achieved than the brief and brilliant campaign by which Or anal HAVELOCK has rolled back the tide of mutiny, mewed the prestige.' our arms, and averted the more imminent perils of our Indian Empire. On t he 'all July the gallant baud under this resolute and determined commander—the .Nth Highlanders, her MAJELITT . E filth, and the Madras Fusiliers, accompanied, but, as It soon appeared, not aided, by a small body of Native Cavalry—marched out of Allahabad. The rain was then falling in torrents; when it ceased the sun of India blazed out on the rapidly advancing column with such intensity that some eight or ten of these hardy warriors were at once smitten down with a sun stroke. When by found marches of from 20 to 30 mile a day under such a climate as this they had left Allahabad about SO miles behind them, they first came in sight of the enemy, some 12,060 strong, drawn up in a strong position, with a eonsiderable park of artillery, to oppose the further progress of the 2,000 Europeans. "Highlanders," maid Hsi - rims: to the 713th," when " we were going to Mohamtnerah I promised yon a " field day ; I could not give it you then, as the " Persians ran away ; but, Highlanders, we will have " it to-day, and let them see what you are made of." "At it they went," says the officer whose narrative we are here following, "and our men did show them " what they were mule of—for after some hours' " hard fighting the rebels fled, and our fellows " charged and captured eleven guns at the point of " the bayonet, with the ammunition and treasure." On the occasion of this first engagement the Native Cavalry showed that no reliance could be placed on them. They disobeyed orders, and fired in the air. The engagement was no sooner over than they were disarmed and dismounted ; " so," says the letter of another officer in recording the fact, "we have no " more trouble vrithfellowsof this kind." Thus purged of these faithless yet:rotate and reduced to a mere infantry force the gallant brigade held on its way. About 20 miles beyond Futteypoor it " came across " the scoundrels " a second time, and in the course of one day fought two several actions, taking four guns in the former and three in the latter. The fourth and severest encounter still awaited them. On the 16th of July they again came in sight of the forces of Ne.ASAttta,drawn up some five miles from Cawnpore, and prepared for a desperate resistance. This was the " hardest day's work of the whole." The enemy had six or eight guns in two separate batteries. "We advanced straight against them, " and they poured grape and round shot into us like e• hailstones." The advancing line lay down. The iron storm swept comparatively harm less over them. They rose, charged, and the first battery was carried at the bayonet point. The advance was then made against the other bat tery. The mutineers this time had got a better range, and of the British who thin lay down, many never rose again. " When they saw us down again, they " thought we were afraid to advance, so they " sounded the advance, and then the double." Then H sveioex gave the word, "Rise up, advance;" and then with such a cheer as the British soldier only knows how to give, under a rolling cross fire, in unbroken order, " with sloped arms like a " wall," the irresistible line bore down on the se cond battery. Long before it was reached, its mis avant defenders fled in wild dismay; the British (they had no cavalry, alai! to pursue) "find into them " till they were out of range i" then rushed up the bill before them, and found Cawnpore scarce a mile in frost. In nine days (this was the 16th of July, and they had left Allahabad on the 7th) this gallant force bad marched 126 miles, fought four actions, and taken 24 guns—and this in July in India, sometimes under drenching rains, sometimes ander a sun so fierce, that on the very day of that last action, many men, in spite of the animating and sustaining excite ment of battle, dropped down on the field ander its overpowering glare. On that hill top over looking Cawnpore they were compelled to halt for the night, and in that night was wrought out the most fiendish of all them deeds that will make this Indian mutiny a very proverb of atrocity to the end of time. When day dawned, the town was seento have been abandoned by the enemy, and the British marched straight to the place, " where they heard " that 173 ladies and children were canasta." The horrors that met them there not a man of that forte will ever forget to his dying day. The place was a paved court. The pavement was two inches deep in blood ; there were " long " trews of hair—dresses covered with blood—here " and there a work-box or bonnet;" in a well in the compound were the stripped, and mangled, and bead le= trunks of the wives and daughters of the de feeders of Cawnpore, and heaped above them were the scarcely cold corpses of the children whom the Sends had Hung down alive into that pit upon the bleeding bodies of their mothers. Such was the work of the Sepoys and Sower, of NZMA Santa on that night of the 16th of July, when driven hem the field by the prows= of their indomitable foes. We beg to make a present of that night-piece, to be framed and glazed Ms me moriam by those whose false and feeble palings would stay the upraised arm of the avengers of blood. We can antlerstand the eagerness with which ‘ratura's conquering column followed on the track of the saiscreant Nedra,. Hhitoor was aban doned ere they reached it, and oar gallant fellows were forced to content themselves with the _ poor revenge of burning the palace of Ncv4 and capturing fifteen additional guns. A letter dated the 22nd of July brings a rumour that this atrocious villain, deserted by his fol lowers, had sought refuge in self-doutroctioe. The rumour, however, requires confirmation ; and we have not so entirely lost all the instincts of " wild justice" is not to trust it may prove false. On the 20th of July, Colonel (or as he is now, General) NEILL, a man of the right stamp, the iron willed trampler-out of mutiny at Allahabad--effected a junction with HAVELOCK at Cawnpore with what the latter describes as " a strong reinforcement "of British soldiers." On the 21st HAVE LOCK writes : I am fete to cross the • usages. A portion of my troops and live guns ▪ are already in position at the bead of the road to " Lusk:how." From Cawnporc to Lucknow is 33 miles. The country is marshy. The rains were desesoffing in torrents. The strength of his column (before NEttt's junction) had been reduced one in fifteen by the result of the last action. HAVELOCK pushed on. He seems to nave crossed the Ganges with his main force at Cawnpore. On the 29th of July he is before Oouao—a town with loop holed houses, and protected on its flanks by an unfoedable swamp; in front by the enemy (the Oude mutineers apparently), aided by a por tion of NENA . II force, and supported by 13 guns. The position was earrie I—the guns captured, and the town taken by assault. After four hours' halt the indefatigable brigade pressed on. Another swamp was waded through, another engagement fought, another town carried by assault. These successes were not purchased without hard fighting and • lass on our side of eighty men killed and wounded. The last public accounts from General HAVELOCK'S camp are dated the 30th July, the day after the last-mentioned engagement, at which time he was at Bupeergenge, _ . . 16 miles from Cawnpore, with a considerable force of the enemy about two miles in front of him. At this date we know that the Goorkhas were rapidly advancing on Lucknow, and after what 11“FL(Xi has already achieved, we can feel no doubt that however formidable may be the nuntherl opposed to him, the next mail will bring us the cheering intelligence that his long and brilliant career of =ewes has been crowned by the triumphant relief of Lucknow. tit court.

LIFE IN DELHI. The following statement of a native regarding the interior stato of Delhi in May and rune is moat in teresting : 1 reached Delhi en the 21.8 May, 1867, old stayed there till the 23rd Juan. On my arrival there I law eve Inf►ntry Regiments and the Sowers of the 3rd Cavaby,who were stationed in Idokitab begh and Salinigurh. The Sepoys were so much afraid of the English forces that they looked quite pale. The cavalry mutineers had a little spirit, and were wishing to ge to Meerut fora tight•; but the footmen did not agree with them, saying, We are hardly sufficient to guard Delhi, how can we go to Meerut f I will give you a wall description of the oppremies eembeiltted by :envoys in Delhi. They plundered every rich house and shop In the city. They took every horse they found in the Sables of the chimes. They killed a number of poor shopkeepers for asking the pore prices for their thing.; they abuse the respectable ens of Delhi in their presence. The guard at Jumneabeidge looted the pusengers crossing it. On the 11th May the eneganine was blown up, it did greet damage to the adjacent houses, and killed about five hundred passengers walking in different streets. The bullets fell in the houses of people to such a degree, that some children picked up two pounds and some four pounde of it from the yards of their houses ; it:ter ser:la the cnUtilleciv,togallicr with the low people of the city, entered the magazine compound and began to plunder wea pons, accoutrements, gun•iape, Sc. The " toe' continued for three deye , each Sepoy toot three or four muskets, and es many swords and bayonets es he could. The colonies filled their houses with dna blacksmiths' tools, weapons, end gun-caps which they sell by degrees, at the rate of two seers per rupee' The copper sheets were sold at duce veers per rupee. In these successful days, tho highest price of a musket was eight sinus , however the people feared to buy it ; a fine En glish sword wee dear for four muss, end one Luna was toe much fur a good bayonet. Ponchos and belle were so common that the owners could not get anything for this booty of theirs. The gunpowder which wee kept et Mojeoos Tile, more than hall of it wee plundered by Goujure and countrymen, and the rest wan brought to the city. Since the day of my arrival till the day of my departure, I never found the Irma, opened, except a few poor shops. The shopkeepers and the citimeta are ex tremely cony fur lo.ieg their safety, and cum the muti neers from mortmag to evening. Poor people and workmen starve, and widuwa cry in their huts. Respectable English servants have confined thenrelvee tee their house. A Kotwal is changed every second day. The Sepoys plundered very treasury in the city, and put the money in their own pockets ; they did not give a farthing out of this to the King ; so the Sepoye of four or Ors regiments possessed thousands of rupees each, end under the weight of silver they could hardly walk, conse quently they were obliged to change their silver for gold. The Mahajens charge them 24 or 25 met, for a gold awhile, which is not worth more than If rupees. Since the bankers were plundered by the Sepoys, they also cheated them by giving thou hewer coin. instead of gold once. The poor regiments arc very jealous of thole who are rich, as the rich Sepoys don't wish to go to tight, or to the field of battle simply; they aro very often insulted by their poor friends. I nut of opinion their private feelings will compel than to keit with each other, some day or other, as many times during my stay at Delhi I heard there was very likely to be a quarrel between the rich and poor regiments. One regiment from Allyghur, and Mynpoorie 150 80will, and some unarmed Sepoys Gwen Agra, one regiment end 200 Sowers from Hanoi and Hirer, *otos unarmed Some from Umbel* 2110 &wars and two oompotis of Nizamut from Multi., 6th Light Cavalry, two regiments from Jul lundur, two regiments and artillery bout NuswersLad, raaehed Delhi before me, 'adjoined the mutineer,.

The prism are made officers to the royal army— thouunda of pities for the poor luxurious princes. They are sometime cou.palled to go out of the dour of the city, in the Lest of the sun—their hearts palpitate from the firing of muskets and Unfortunately they do not lutow how to command an army; their fortes laugh at their itoperfoctione, and abate thew foe their bad arrangement,. The King sends sweet- mutts for the tones in the &W, and the guard at the door of the city plunder A like the property of en enemy. The bravery of them* troops deserves every praise; they are very clever indeed; when thoy wish to have the field of battle they tie a piers of rag on their leg, and pretend to have Leen wounded, cud come into the city hum end groaning, accom panied by their friends. On the night of the 30th June, at the Ilindun bridge, the mutineer. were quite out of senses; a good many of them threw their awaken. and swords in the wells, end scattering on the road, ran towards villages and jungle., ea they thought themselves to have been pursued by English soldiers• Had the English forces taken them they could have taken Delhi the eamot night, because the Sepoye did not return to the city till nest morning, and many of them disappeared for ever; they were plundered and beaten by Goojurs, add did not bring a farthing back with them. The old King u -- very seldom obeyed; but the priocoo aro lever. The soldiers never mind their regimental bugle ; &marry their officers, and neglect their duty ; they we never mus tered, and never dressed in uniform. The noblemen and Bevels, together with the princes, regret for the loam of their joyful days. They consider the arrival of mutineers at Doihi • sudden misfortune for thews.

" Trieste, Thursday, 5.55, a.m. (Signed) "RAVEN" THE ARRAII MASSACRE AND EXPEDITION. The following details respecting the massacre and expedition to Arrah are taken from the Homeward Had from India and published in London on the 16th instant. In the government despatch the place is called "Arrak." This confirms the news which we gave exclusively in the Express of yesterday. Since our summary and the other portion& of our new.- paper were in type, intelligence of the gravest and most painful character has reached us. This intelligence is of a nature to modify to a very considerable extent the opinions we have expressed as to the general character of the news received by the present mail. As we believe it to be authentic, we should be wanting in our duty as journalists if we refrainei from making it public., though we appreciate the anxiety it will occasion to many of our readers, and deeply regret that we are at present unable to satisfy their impatience by a more detailed account. It appears that the mutineers from Dinapore, after quitting that station, advanced against Arrab, a large civil station. twenty-five miles west of Dumper°, the resi dents at whi.th place were unfortunately sanguine of their ability to resist an attack for a time, and are said to have applied for a detachment of European troops, in place of adopting the more prudent course of a retreat. The result was that the whole of the European. at the sta tion, to the number of about fifty, were massacred. This disastrous event woe enmeeled by another. Two steamers had been despatched with troops for the relief of Arndt one of them grounded, and we have no further information re epecting it; from the other a body of two hundred European troops were landed, and fell Into an ambush, where nine officers and upward+ of • hundred men are said to have been cut off. Tho importance of these events considering the commend they give the mutineers of the li ne of commu nication between Calcutta and &CMS, cannot but bo obvious to every one. This intelligence will perhaps serve to explain to our readers the report which has appeared in a leading journal regarding the fall of Agra, the similarity of the names having probably led to the mistake. . . In Thornton'a Gazetteer of India we find the fol lowing : Mini, is the British dlstrict of Sluthabad, Presidency of Bengal, a town on tits route from Diaspora to Ghazepore, twenty-live miles wost of the former, eaventy-five east of the latter. Supplies and water are abundant, the surround ing country being fertile and well cultivated, and a large and beautiful Isla being cl no to the town. There is a government school hero.

A letter from the camp of Chalons of the 16th says : The fourth of the swim of grand manwarree took place yesterday, and wan favoured by most delightful weather. The troop. in these serious teatimes are acquiring a remark able degree of preciaion.

The following suicides took place yesterday :—A young man, about thirty years of age, was found hanging by the neck to a tree, at Bagnolet ; papers found on bins showed that his name was Prevot, and that he was a native of Montbeliard. The body of another young man, who had blown out his brains with a pistol, was found in a part of the Bois de Boulogne called the Fond de Neuilly ; Bfr. 50e. was found on him, but ho had no papers to show who ho was. A man named Douche, of the Rue du Pare Royal, was found dead in his room, having put an end to his existence by the fumes of charcoal. A young woman named Palmyre, of the Rue Creffulbe, and a married woman named Quentin, of the Faubourg Montmartre, committed suicide in the same way, the former from disap pointment in love, and the latter because her hus band, from whom she had been separated six years, would not consent to a reconciliation. A young woman named Roux jumped from a window of the secoud story of the Hospital Lariboisi d re, and was killed on the spot; she was labouring under delirium, said to be caused by a disappointment in love. Three sudden deaths also occurred yesterday ; one was of a compositor of the Pays, named Liegeois, 53 years of age, which took place while he was working at case; the second of a man named Goe bert, as he was passing along the Faubourg du Temple; and the third of a man named Lambert, in the Rue do Bievre, as be was locking his door; all three deaths were caused by apoplexy. The Mbatq, in a summary of Indian news, reflects on the probable movements of General Havelock after the relief of I.ucknow ; it likewise expresses a conviction that the garrison of Agra has met with the sad fate of that of Cawnporc. The following are the views of the Dikes: General Havelock is stated to have retaken Ladinow on the 31st July. It is not difficult to anticipate bis future movements, for they aro traced out by the very nature of events. Haring wept the enemy from the both banks of the Ganges, be now will either proceed up the left bank of the river and mom it in the direction of the Jumna, above Delhi, or he will return to Agra, and, after relieving the unall garrison of the fort, will proceed directly along the banks of the Juniza to Delhi. But although the official English despatch represents Agra as still holding out, we have reason to believe that this intelligence will not be con firmed, and that the heroic garrison hiss been destroyed, along with the women and children under its protection. The Unicers continues to exalt over the difficul ties of England in India, and gives expression to the following sentiment : Wo were always aware that the Anglo-Indian empire was not. eternal, nor even of long duration, and we now bear witness to the jaw ice of God. This lessen will prove advan tageous to all. As 'fur our hopes, we do not conceive theta to he chimerical ; whatever may happen, England cannot fail to issue highly weakened from the struggle —a result we desire with all our heart.

RANI OP ENGLAND KERTING.-/THIS DAY) This day, at noon, the nbual half-yearly General Court of Proprietors of the Bank of England was held in the Bank parlour; the (fovea:eon (Mr. Sheffield Neeve) in the chair. The minutes of the two former courts having been read and confirmed, The GOVEIO4Oa said—l have now to acquaint the court that this is one of the quarterly general courts, appointed by the charter, and 'leo one of the half-yearly general courts ap. pointed by the 12th bye law, for linking a dividend. The net profits of the half-year ending the 31st of August lad were 776,6501., making tho amount of the rest on that day 3,840,6251. le. 3d., and after providing for a dividend at the rate of Si per cent. for the half-year, the rest will be 3,040,2101. le. 3d. The court of directors, therefore, pro pose that a half-year's dividend of interest and profits be made on the 10th of October, of 61. 10s. per cent., without say deduction on account of income-tax. Mr. PH-OMR—Although there in an increase in the divi dend, perhaps I may be allowed to ask how it is that it is still so small, as compared with the dividend declared by the banks in the neighbourhood ? They (the "young ladies," as I may call them) are declaring dividends of 16 or 20 pre cent., but our establishment, the " old lady," only divides 11. How is it that with larger profits than the other bank' our dividend is yet lee. P The GOVERNOR—The difference is easily explained. It is rather nominal than real, end I. this:—The banks to which you allude have small capitals, and, there- fore, the profit they make—although leis then oars— ambles them to divide upon their small capital the larger dividend. The Bank of England hes 14,000,0001. of capital, and although its profits may be larger than those of the . younger banks, yet nominally they will not yield the same rate of interest ea the profits of those banks. Mr. Pus 'ten—Yes, sir ; but how much of our capital do we keep unemployed I' The Gov ER:VOW—We have nano unemployed beyond that which. ea prudent bankers, we are bound to keep in band. Mr. PILCHER—Then it naturally follows that wo do not employ our capital as well as the young banks, the " young ladles," as I have called them, do theirs. Mr. M. CLARKS—We have earned 840,000!., and are going to divide 800,00 W. of that. The division will tska place upon fourteen millions of capital, which is equal to 1,600,000!., upon half that capital. The working capital of our bank is only about three millions. Mr. Pi toom—But why should we not employ more 01007 capital ° The Goveaxon—We are naturally in our position obliged to keep a much larger reserve than private bankers. The question that the dividend be declared payable on and after Om 10th of October next was then put and carried unanimously. • " ' The Ouv;Axon—l have now to inform the court that as the present rate of dividend exceeds that of the last half-year, ft is necessary under the provisions of the act of parliament that the mine should be confirmed by ballot in the mut ternary manner; and I have now, therefore, to move that this court de stand adjourned till Wednesday, the 22nd inst., at I o'clock, then to take the determination of the proprie tors by way of ballot upon the question of dividend. The motion was agreed to. Mr. M. Cxxansi—lt only remains for us now to par • vote of thanks to the Court of Directors. This half-year the dividend Is pee cent. ; but if it had only been 4), I think the thanks of the court would be equally due to them, because they have kept in view what is just towards the proprietors, and at the same time have not shut out commercial interests. ((fear, hear.) To a certain extent they are the regulator. of the monetary system of the country, and they are not always masters of their own proceedings ; but the ManDellOil% which they govern the whole exhibits 50 much discretion, prudence, and ability, that they deserve our best thank., (Hear, hear.) I therefore think it is only due to them that they should receive an expression of one public approbation of their pest conduct. (Hear.) Mr. Alderman SALOMON.—I hilte great pleasure in se conding that motion. In all my experience of these courts this is the first time I have heard any one speak iu the lan guage of complaint about a largo increase of dividend. (Hear, hear.) I suppore, however, that there is in our con stitution something which gives rise to a feeling that the more we get the more we want. (Hear, and a laugh.) Perhaps therefore I may be allowed to hope, that consistently with what is due to the public, it may be in the power of the Court of Director. to give us an increased dividend. (Hear, hear.) I'ermit me to say, in seconding this m Aloe, that we have every roas s. to be satisfied with their conduct, and with the manner in which they have m invert the affairs of the Bank. It isnot too much to say, by one who bas read the evidence given by members of the Court of Directors before parliament that them never was a period whoa the character of the go- vernor and the court stood higher than it does now, or when greater effect was produced upon a Relit oentary com mittee than was produced by that evidence, with reference not only to the interests of the proprietors but to those of the public. (Hear, hear.) The resolution we, married by acclamation. The GOVERNOR —oroutlomen, in the name of my col leagnes I beg to return you our sincere thanks for the laudatory resolution which you bare just pawed. I can as sure you that in the difficult and arduous duties which de volve upon those who have the 111.1.1gYMOIlt of this corpora tion, it. is always to them a source of encouragement and support if they can receive the approbation 44 their pro prietary. (Hear.) I may also add that it must be agreeable to all when those who have the conduct of the affairs o f • great national institution and who are necessarily obliged— to whom it is • duty—to keep in view the publi , intecast— can at the manse time meet their p r oprietors. and ascertain from them teat they are of opinion that we have not tacit iced their interests, but have rather invaded to the general advantage of this proprietors at large. (Hem, hoar.) The court then adjourned. I
