LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1857. tiding* of the bunting of the thunder-cloud have reached us, and we can still only hope for the beet. " On the first of the month Major General Outram arrived at Allahabad; he was followed on that and the two succeeding days by portions of his troops, consisting of the 90th Foot, the sth Fusiliers, some details of other regiment' and artillery, making, including drafts from the Allahabad garrison, nearly fourteen hundred men in all. On the sth they commenced moving towards Cawnpore. The artil lery and some infantry and native cavalry, under Major Vincent Eyre, had been sent on in advance. On approaching Futtehpore they found the enemy in some force strongly entrenched on the right (Fat tehpore) bank of the river, prepared apparently to resist their further advance. Eyre, however, made short work of them ; he rent his cavalry and infantry at them, and drove them, with great loss to them and but little to oar men, into their boats ; as they attempted to cress over to the opposite bank his guns opened upon them, and sunk and destroyed numbers. This operation having been most successfully performed, the • march upon Cawnpore was resumed. As to the neoeas of the expedition, few in Calcutta, nuns of those who ought to be beet informed, enter tain the smallest doubt, and if the heroic garrison pawns the means of prolonging their resiatance but a few days longer, their safety will, in all human probability, be secured. It is not anticipated that the opposition to our advance will be of the same de termined nature as on the former occasion ; in fact, two regiments have already made overtures to our authorities to return to their allegiance, and al though the offer of course was scouted, still the fact of its having been made at all proves the disunion prevalent amongst the insurgents. " At Agra all continued well on the latest dates ; the country had been deprived of the services of Mr. John Colvin, Governor of the North-Western Provinces. Worn by the unceasing anxieties and labours of his charge,' to use the language of the Governor-General, ' health and strength gave way: " Coming lower down towards Calcutta, we find the whole of Behar in a most disorganised state. Eooer Singh, the rebel chieftain of Arrab, has in deed carried his incursions into Rewab, where he was at once joined by the troops of the Rajah who had been tent to oppose him; but his brother Ummur Singh is still in Behar, and at the head of a considerable body of men ; no opposition has been offered to his progress. The sth Irregular Cavalry too, from Bhaugulpore, have been joined by all the disaffected in the district, and are laying waste the country in every direc tion. At the earnest solicitation of Mr. Money, collector of dye, Mr. Samuells, the new commis sioner of Patna, being informed that the Irregu lars bad taken up a position near Gya, ordered a party of Sikhs to attack them : the measure was de cided upon in direct opposition to the wishes of the military authorities. The result was that the Sikhs were not only repulsed, but outmanoeuvred: the insurgents entered Gya before them, and again plundered that unhappy city. Sir Colin Camp bell has, wo believe, taken the only effectual means of putting a stop to these disorders by send ing up a compact body of five thousand Europeans under an officer of skill and experience. " Our amounts from Delhi do not date later than the 6th instant. Ws have, however, received infor mation of the effect which the account of the Cawnpore massacre had upon the troops. It lite rally made them cry aloud for revenge. " The Punjab still stands out in bold relief to the rest of India. There, wherever mutiny has raised its heed, it has been promptly and severely crushed. In no single instance has Sir John Lawrence failed of success. The 66th, composed of Brahmins, who mutinied because they ' preferred death to lees of eaate,' being pursued took refuge with the Swats, who not only plundered them of their wealth, but converted them into Mahomedana, and then turned them adrift: the 9th Cavalry, 26th, 46th Native Infantry, and tabus, were cut up almoit to a man, and Sir John has been enabled not only to maintain tranquillity, but to furnish a large force for the operations against Delhi. " Since writing the above we have received infor mation from government that Generals Oatram and Havelock craned the Ganges at Cawnpore on the 19th instant, and that ►ll wise well at Lucknow on tho 16th idem. The relief of the garrison may therefore be looked upon almost as a foregone con clusion. " From Delhi the intelligence is excellent. " Just before going to pre= we learnt on good authority that the 50th Native Infantry mutinied at Nagode, but the officers of the regiment were safe, for once their soldiers not having massacred them like so many other corps. "'the only circumstance that has disturbed the tranquillity of Calcutta during the past fortnight has had reference to the press. On the 18th instant the government cancelled the Hiirkars's license, thus virtually suppressing the paper. It is a curious fact that the two papers which until the arrival of Lord Canning were always supposed to represent more or less the views and wishes of the Government, the 11-41sel of India and the Hurkaru, have been the first to feel the iron heel of despotic and irresponsible authority. For ourselves, we frankly confess that we omisidered the Press Gag ging Act virtually as a breach of contract between one estate and another : we thought it unfair, im politic, and uncalled for, and we did not hesi tate in consequence to express our opinion of men and measures in language which we did not care to guard. We had that confidence in our countrymen that we believed that no body of Engliahmen—men born in the land of free discuision, and educated with the same liberal ideas as ourselves—would ever combine to stop the free expression of opinion. We can only now admit that we were mistaken, and although our sentiment" regarding the great line of policy to be maintained at the present crisis remain unchanged, and are, humanly speaking, unchangeable, we shall in future of necessity guard against the nee of any expression that might be converted into an engine against ourselves. Our license was restored last night, after an interregnum of six days' duration. The subject is one which will not be again adverted to until some definite arrangement be arrived at regarding the press." CAWNPORE AND LUCINOW. 710 K SKI LINKTIELNT-GOVIIRTIOR TO Tat GOVERNOR OULIAL. Bening, Sept. 13. A latter from Gaud Ostrom, dated KUTSION . llth Septomber, autos :—" I loavo jest rotolvad a sots from Cinraporo of this data, from which I op tract the following We had very good sews ' from Lockaow yeateday, • farce cannoaada at goa-ate, sad towards noon the 11110017 exploded • adze ; bat by toss nilp chinos it want off just under the feet of those advancing to attack, killing, It is said, nearly 400. The garrison than mode a sortie, which utterly completed their distnmfiture.' The following is an extract of a letter written by a cavalry dam at Cawnpors, dated Sept. 3 : " The news we have from Locknow is very good : we have often communication with them. A man came in yes terday. They axe all as jolly as they can be, under the circumstances ; they appear to have plenty to eat, though no luxuries. Fighting goes on day, ' of course, but there is no chance of a further smanit, se the riggers got such a lesson last time. 1 hope we shall relieve them before the 26th, certainly. We have now, I should think, 1,500 Europeans. The cavalry only numbers 80, but is to be made up to 100. We have a bat tery of horn and one of foot artillery, and six 24-pounders drawn by elephants, besides some mortars ; and when the 90th and sth join us, as they will about the 12th or 15th, we shall be able to give the blackguards something they do not expect. I feel, and indeed we all feel, very hopeful of Lackner,. The people are gradually turning towards v ; they Men to see it fa only a Mahon:edam ask, which would not suit them. A Mr. and Mrs. Probyn and two child:in came In two days ago from Futteghur, and also a Mr. Ednxestons ; they have been staying with a man in Oude, by name Her der Btu, who brought them in himself, and is reedy to join ns winnow vs snake a movement Into Rallaund. He says that nearly all the Hindoos will join us willingly when they see ne advancing." A letter from Havelock's camp states that " two of the mutineer regiments have sent in to the general, offering to lay down their arms if their lives were spared. The reply was that no overtures from any rebels could be entertained ; but that if they gave ocular demonstration of their sincerity, that is by fighting their brother mutineers, their case would be taken into consideration. One of these repentant regi ments I. supposed to be the 22nd N. 1., who generously offered to assist their officers from the government treasury at Fisted, and who it will be remembered, spared their gleam. The Ghoorkhas being on one side, and the Euro peans on the other, with the King, and Ally Rocky Elsa not coming up ea promised and fully ex pected long ere this, they appear to have taken a sudden fit of loyalty again, as they now find that their visions of double Fey and two hundred highs. of land in Oude pro mised to each Sepoy,hays been manly figurative ; attempting to grasp these, they have lost the Company's regular pay and bads. The following was an intercepted Wm to the Barrackpore Brigade, and more pard calmly addressed to one regiment there Oh I ye warriors greeting 1 We expected great things from you; you lays, however, deceived us. We considered you as the nose of the army; but you gave up your arms without fighting. However, it is not too late to retrieve your characters. It is Use you have no arms ; but hasten up, and Ram wiliest you arm. You will each Sepoy get 12 rupees pee month; sad 200 highs, of land. The King of Delhi has ordained that no more cows shall be killed in the land. Should any one intercept this meesenger, curses will be upon hie head; if a Mahomedan, he will eat pig, if a Hindoo he will eat cow. The King of Delhi sends alums, and says theenany outside the walls number ten thousand ; after we have conquered them, we will come to Calcutta, to try lithe Faill• ghee@ can fight.' " Ths messenger was, however, seized by an officer of the 10th Native Infantry, and was banged ; no doubt heavy cruses are on the Feringhee's head—what is he to eat ? for he has, I suppose, no objection either to Mg or tow." The Friend of lase states from Cawnpore, " that Gene ral Havelock has issued a proclamation which the govern ment would do well to follow. All rebels from Oude who are in custody with their wives and children are to be kept as hostages, to secure against a repetition at LIIOIELLOW and elsewhere of the atrocities committed at Cawupore and Jhansi. Captain Bruce, who is the superintendent of police, went to search the house of a Marsh, one of Nana Sahib's followers, for paper and other matters. The Nomab is now before Lncknow, and oostniands a troop of the insurgent". In examining the apartments, after seizing all the document', he discovered that the Nuwab had left his female relatives behind. This fact coming to the ears of General Neill, a guard was at once placed over them, and it was hinted to the ladies that they would be alone protected so long as any English women or children who might fall into the hands of the Oude rebels should be uninjured. It is believed that this intimation will be con veyed to the Nuwab and his son, and they may throe be in duced to spare any unfortunate who may happen to fall into their hands, and probably induce the Nana to act after the same way. Any threatening of this sort IN perfectly justifiable, and is even dictated by mercy. Nana Sahib himself never preserves a European female giro, but he is outdone by the Nuwab of Futteghur• On the 2nd of July this man blew away from guns one gen tleman and three ladies. Their names were Mr. and Mn• Birch, Mrs. Beckford, and Mrs. Defontaine. After the ma tiny at Futteghur they had succeeded in escaping into the country, and had only just been discovered. Besides he has offered for the capture of every European a reward of 50 rupees. And yet we are told that no man is to be summarily dealt with unless it can be proved that he has been actually present at a murder. Th. whole of the Futteghur district is stained with the moat atrocious crimes, and they are shared and participated In by the lowest as well as by the Nuwab and his minister Hidatet Ally,and still by the recent order in Council no villages are to be burnt. The Nuwab of Furruckabod, it is believed has some European females alive, but in such captivity that we suppose even death would be preferable. The rebel force before Luelmow at this time consists of about 8,000 Sepoys and 1,000 matchlock men. The above include Major Holmes' Irregulars, who have j oined, and find plunder and murder much move congenial occupations than preserving districts from thelike. The rebels sent a short time since for 1,000 Gun fanatics to lead the storm; but they were repulsed with such great and terrible slaughter that they say they will never attack again, even if Lncknow be not taken for two yearn. The fanatics alone left upwards of 200 men dead upon the ground. The enemy's guns are however still playing upon the works of the besieged, and itiie reported that they even throw in hand grenades, but it la not credible." CIRENCESTER _ . _ A meeting in aii;fti;ieli;rfund was held itt Cimacisider yeeterday ; Mr. Andemon, the high bailiff, hi the sheds. Letters were mad hem Earl Bathurst (enoloiciag for 251.), Rev.

INDIA. THE CALCUTTA MAIL. CAPTURE OF DELHI We have received advice" in anticipation of the Overland Mail, from Calcutta, Sep. 24, Madras, Sep. 10, and Hong Bong, Sept. 10. The news of the final capture of Delhi had not reached Calcutta on the 24th of Sept. From the Madras Alherusum we obtain the Mowing intelligence from Delhi: "By electric telegraph from Bombay we are in possession of news from Delhi to the 14th Sep tember. The long expected siege train had at last reached camp on the 4th, had been put into position between and was severely pounding the Moree and Cashmere bastions, and had taken an advanced position of the enemy's, three hundred and fifty yards from the city walls. On the 14th the Li hors Chromkk contained a message from General Wilson, dated 14th, 10 a.m., Delhi city, to the following effect, as telegraphed to us : "'Delhi has been assaulted this morning, and fighting going on. Our column making slow pro gress.' " The official summarist adds that this news is not very clear, but the telegraph signaller states that the attack wu successful, and as the General's mes sage is dated from the City it would appear that he has entered it. Until however further informa tion reaches us it would be idle to speculate on the matter. Having thus alluded to the latest news received up to the time of writing, we will now notice events of an earlier date. It is stated in a message which brought news from Delhi to Sept, 10, that more batteries would soon be at work, and much closer to the •alls; that the rebels were keep lug up a heavy fire of grape and musketry, and were doing very little damage to our force, but that they hid inflicted upon us a loss of fifty killed and wounded while the siege train was being got into position ; among the former were two officers. The Cashmere Contingent, consisting of 3,000 men, had arrived, so that with Brigadier General NichoL eon's reinforcements, the strength of our army before Delhi must be upwards of 10,000 fighting men. It is becoming fully evident that the rebel city is at the last extremity, for it is re ported that the mutineers of those regiments that had not murdered their officers had separated from the others and left the place. They are said to have numbered about five thousand. It also appears that • flag of truce wu sent out, and that the rebels proposed to hang all the actual murderers, imagining, it is to be supposed, that this would satisfy us, but we are glad to say that all overtures were sternly repulsed. The, state of affairs inside the city which was described in our last is said to still continue, so that when the messengers from Lucknow and Bareilly arrived to confer with the rebel king, it is no wonder that they were ' greatly surprised and mortified,' as the commissioner at Umballah re- ported on the sth of September wu the cats to the several governments. On the whole, our position is Toady improved, and it is more than possible that, before the mail closes, we may have to record cheering newe. " Since writing the above, we have received from our Bombay correspondent the following very im portant messages by electric telegraph : ".BOYSAY, Tuesday, September 23. " 'News from Delhi to September . 15, 8 p.m. Advance position taken in Koodsea Bogh, three hundred and twenty yards from City walls: batteries firmly established in guns within six thou sand and fifty yards of Moores Bastion, in order to silence that and Cashmere Bastion.

Later from Delhi on the Cashmere and Moore° Bas tions, severely pounded. More batteries will be soon at work much closer to the walls. The enemy keep up heavy fire of grape and masketry, but few casualties.' " . BOWBAT, Friday, Sept. 26, 6 sm. "'Aidah from Kurrachee, 22nd. Lahore Chronicle Extra of the 14th contains a message from General Wilson, 14th, 10 a.m., from Delhi city. Delhi has been salaulted this morning, and fighting going on. One column making slow progress. Official eummarist adds news, not very olear ; but signaller adds the attack was successful.' ". IlotteAT, Sept. 28. " ' A telegraph was received yesterday from Col. Durand, at Nlhow, announcing the receipt there of an express from Captain Eden, at Jeypoor, despatched on the 18th, and gives the following extract of a letter from Colonel Young, dated at Head Quarters, Skinner's house, Delhi, 13th instant. The assault took place yesterday morning soon after daybreak, and the storming was en• tirely successful. We were soon in possession of the end of the Fort, with the Cashmere, Cabul, and Morec gates, which we now hold, with the church, college, and other large buildings near this on Skinner's house, in which head-quarters aro. Pre parations are making for heavy batteries to knock the mutineers out of those parts of the city in which they now are ; many of the city people have come in for and received quarters. The sepoys wanted to come also, but they were not permitted. The casualties are said to be heavy. No artillery officere, however, were killed or wounded. A great many of the mutineers have escaped. The cavalry left last night, it is said towards Rewaree. Our news from the Punjanb and the North gloomily, as also from Meerut, is satis factory.

" The following is from the summary of the Binge Hurkaru, of Sept. 24 : " The put fortnight, although far from uneveet ful, has yet been more suggestive than active : there has been the gatberingof the elements—the brewing of the storm ; but at the latest date of writing no (Stamped Id. Additional.) [TWOPENCE. Bodh Gya. Mr. Mow Immediately ordered out the troops for marching against the enemy , and by 2 o'clock p.m. about 150 Sikhs and 37 Europeans of her Majesty's 84th Regiment left this for Bodh Gye, to prevent the enemy from crossing the Fulgo at that point. t' On Tuesday, at - 4 o'clock fa the morning, Mr. Money and the troops with him left Bodh (lye for Etwa, which is 6 miles to the east of it, and where the enemy had mentaped. The enemy made no resistance to our troops crossing the Pulp at that point. When the 6th Irregulars, who had encamped under • top, saw the Company Bahadoor'a troops coming to attack them, they were obliged to oases out to faoe them if possible. The Europeans alighted from the elephants, and with the Saha formed themselves into • square. Though the enemy, 600 strong, had taken • very advantageous poultice they could hardly stand befo re the heavy fire now opened on them by Men commanded by Mejor Rattily and Lieutenant Whitlock. They re treated, and our soldiers succeeded in taking away some horses and children from than. A party of about 100 Sows was sent to rescue these valuables from our men, and had our Sows, who were 16 or 20, only continued /km, and fired at the enemy as they were commanded to do, the booty would not have been lost. Our troops began to charge a second time on the enemy ; but after • little skirmish, the mutineers retreated, and die parsed themselves in different directions. From the beginning, it appeared that they were not inclined to fight, and that, by necessity they were cam , paled to fees our troops. At shoat three o'clock, i t was Irma bre that the enemy had diamond themselves, and that probably they would be at Oya in the evening. We Immediately prepared ourselves to go into the Bungalow which had been entrenched for such an emergency. By seven o'clock, p.m., we were all right there, having now shout forty-five to fifty Sikhs to hold it oat against the mutineers. The whole of Shakshgunge was to uproar, and people were seen to flee into the interior of Oyer, the alleys and lanes of which the Owala had so well barricaded. At about half-past 8 p.m. the mutineers were seen passing through the streets of Shabahgunge, soliciting the town people not to fire at them, as they did not come, they said, to do any harm to the ryots, but were only fighting oat for their Dan. The large number of bud makes who accompanied them, first took them towards the gaol to let loose the prisoners. The Rajah of Ticany's man, who were placed with 11 Sikhs to do duty there, fled at the very moment they heard that the mutineers had come in, bat the few gallant Sikhs would not do it. They opened a heavy fire on the Beware, but some rascally burkundazes told then that every Chr istian in the town was slaughtered by the Somme, and that they had better retreat end maks their escape. This news disheartened the Sikhs very much. They left the jail with the word Butte Goorn• in their mouths. My informant tells me they would hays killed a large number of the mutineers, if the wicked Nakano:lazes had not frightened them. After having let loose the prisoners, and set fire to the oat-offloce of the jail, the mutineers made their way for the entrenched bungalow where we had taken shelter. Mesas.

The following is a government despatch.—" Agra.—The latest authentic news from the Cbumbul up to the Bth of September is that the river has risen, and that the main body of the mutinous infantry, cavalry, and guns had not yet emceed ; that their advanced guard continues at Dholpore with two pm; that at present, of the two stream" between Agra and the Chumbul one is certainly unfavourable, and that the boats have been destroyed." A letter from the Fort, Agra, refers to the approach of 800 of the Owalior rebels ' and expresses the belief that the latter will garrison them selves at Bhurtpore. The writer adds:—" If the many bombards Agra Feet we shall cer tainly be dreadfully cut up, but there is no fear of their taking the place. tnfortunately, there is hardly a bomb-proof building in the Fort, in which to shelter the poor women and children from the effects of the shells.

All the militia outside the fort have been brought in, end the respectable natives are now flying from the city in great numbers, believing the mutineers are com ing. No apprehension, however, need be entertained by our friends at a distance regarding our ultimate safety, for we are in good heart, and the fort is reasonably strong. and no Hindoestanee that was ever created, will attempt to take it by storm. As for provision, and military atone, we have an abundant supply."

The following is from Assam, dated September 10th:—" The fearful rebellion has cast its dark shadow over our hitherto peaceful valley, although as yes we are spared Its dread reality. The first intelligence that • conepiracy had been disooverod in Upper AM= came upon us like a than der-clap, and immediate end energetic measures were judi ciously adopted at all the stations, and the crisis we now trust, has passed.
