LONDON, IItATUNDAT, OCTOBia 81. Tat sudden death of Owen! CAVAIONAC has removed from the scene one of the most ecompiencee meters is the great revolution of 161 e. ECOIMR CAVAIIMAC was bore a Paris the 16th December, lere2, and was consequently in his 38th year at the tirasof lie decease. Ilia father wee an old tasinher of the National Convention, sad the Benue Dictator of 1618 was reared in the uncompromising repub liesaivat of 1792. The yew CAVAJONAC adopted the military career, sod early evinced the influence of those principks to which through his whole life he adhered with Spartan tenacity. Hie openly avowed republicanism led to his employment. with other hot and ardent spirits, le the wan of Africa in the early days of Loots PHILIPPE. His military career in Algiers wee one of high diarist-ties. ladostitable energy, complete self.znasteey, • calculating heed, and a stoical inte grity of elsereeter, singled him oat as a man mi. meetly fitted for high menseand. In DM he sue seeded Lemont( !riot in the command of the Pro elect of Oran, sad in Fel:every, 18101, by we of the Mt mete of the Provisional Government, he wit raised to the Governor.Genevalship of Algeria. Ile remained in command of the province until, having been elected in his absence a delegate to the National Assembly, he returned to Perim about the middle of May. Shortly after hie arrival he was nominated Minister of War. The times required the iron hand elf a determined soldier, and the party of the Mode rate Republicans believed they had found in Tits. sac the sole shield of France against the horrors of anarchy. The terrible insurrection of Jane burst forth. On the second day of that tremendous struggle, the PrOTiliellal Government resigned, and CA VAIGNAC was named Dictator. On the evening of the fourth day's fighting, after • frightful eavnage, CAVAIGVAC remained ouster of the City—ifid of Prance. At that moment the successful soldier who had resoled society from anarchy might, sword io hand, have converted a temporary dictatorship into a permanent rule. But CAI' tIONAC had no amulet aims. He had saved his country, and he re quired to more. Then came the election for the Patvitieer, and the return of Loeti NAPOLEON by • vast majority. CAVAIONAC played his part with the dignity of true greatnese; holding aloof from all that scene of factious littleness which wearied out the patience of France; serving his country as he could; holding fast by his principles without compromise and without compliance. When Boatemerit streek the decisive blow in December, 1831,CAVANMAC yea seized and imprisoned with the rest et the known opponents of the usurpation. He was, however, seen released, and ham since continued to reside principally in prance. The election, of last Rammer, in which be wan twice returned by a decisive majority se a member of the Corps Lecith in& for the third circumscription of Paris, threatened again to (owe him from his dignified retirement into the arena of public life. It was generally aaderitood that CAVAIGNAC /ma determined not to take the oath to the new dynasty amemary Writable him to act in his legislative capacity; still the arrival of the period at which his resolve mast bare been finally made known, was looked for by the whole Republiesa party in France with NO little satiety. Death has released him from that necessity of making this election, and the EMPEROR from the embarrassment which would hare been created by either his consent or his refusal to 'erre. The esteem of men of all parties will follow this brave and sincere soldier to his tomb. Frame has not produced a character of more massive heroism. of so stern a self-denial, of so elevated a muse of duty. Tnr English army, now or lately on its way to India, is threatened with a repetition of the horrors of the Crimea on a more colossal scale. A letter from Calcutta, which will be found in another column, shows that the local authorities have proved themselves incapable of forwarding the soldiers, in tercepted on their way to China, with the requisite devpatch to the interior, and that they had been equally unable to provide properly for them in Cal cutta. Though the number of soldiers who had arrived was under four thousand, the greater part of them were, after many days delay, still kept on board the overcrowded transports moored in the river, in the most unhealthy month of the year. Even the men of the 33rd—who had been for some time at Calcutta and Itarrackpore—were. when on guard during the Mohurrum, left without food for forty•cight hours. If things are thus mis managed in the capital—almost on the sea board— what are we to expect in the interior ? But we are not left to conjecture. We know how many steamers broke down in succession with the Marius Brigade under Captain Pert. We know that at lout one vessel carrying soldiers, on board of which ' cholera had broken out, had to be detained some days on her way up-country to be cleansed and fumigated. We know that when General Nittu. arrived at Alla/tubed there was not one Commis sariat officer there, and that all means of obtaining supplies were wanting. We know that HAszLocieti tome have segued more from the deficiencies in the sommisseriat arrangements than in battle. Some tines ago a letter from a civil engineer apposed is a provincial paper, describing the sufferings films huger—in one Ms even unto death—of fugitives from Allahabad conveyed down the Genres in Governmest steamer,. Parallel cases are related by Wise w/o bay, reached this country. It is bored lit llspo a doubt that no adequate means o .... rt,Z3 adequate commismariat urea ex' where throughout the territori. . . the saint at Fort William. ‘; r„....... • “ ..-••, Now, if the authorities at Calcutta have peeved thus incompetent in the transport and provi sioniag of 110111 g 7,000 soldiers and a few hundred fugitives, how will matters stand when the 25,000 men from England pour in upon them Eight miles of bad road before Sebastopol, with the ' aid of an inclement winter and blundering officials, sufficed to decimate a gallant army and till every home in England with mounter*. The troops now on their way to India will have to be removed from the sea board as many hundreds of miles as the martyrs to commissariat mismanagement in the Crimea novo ekes miles. The climate of Bengal and Behar, Nod even of the North-Western Provinces, is fir more trying to the constitutions of unacclimatistJ Englishmen than the severities even of a Crimean winter. A large proportion of our soldiers will reach Calcutta immediately after the termination of the rains—at the most deadly season of the year. They will find no proper accommedation, no aufficient supplies of food ; and they will be doomed to the listless ennui of inaction, which is almost certain death under the unaccustomed peeve of a tropical climate amid awampe. Unleas t►e commissariat and transport arrangements of the Indian Government are iminstieurably improved be- fore their arrival they will ills off in hundreds. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY !be Coun.

ENCH 710VE AND Tpz LLATEMINERAL fIGNAC, of this day says :—" We have this day received the news of the death of General Eugese Cavaignao. From* will regret in him a man who rendered great services under diffi cult eircamstanees. M. Cavaignac died yesterday, almost suddenly, at his chateau near Mans. The body has been brought to Paris at the request of General Cavaignac's family. It has been decided that funeral honours shall be rendered to him, con formably to the decree of Meander, year xtt., the government being desirous thus to honour the sol dier who was distinguished on the geld of battle, and the man who deserved well of his country by taking the aide of order when order was threatened." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. THE LATE GENERAL CAVAIONAC. (71011 ova oinr COII.IIS7OXDIST.) PARIS, FRIDAY EVID4IIO. It is indeed extraordinary that an event of each moment as the death of General Cavaignac, occurring m it did, within telegraphic range of Paris, on Wednesday, the day before yesterday, should not have been made known in the metropolis till this morning, and then only by a single organ of publicity. More extraordinary is it still that the dead body of the Dictator of the Republic of 1848 should have been yesterday transported from Tours to Paris by railway, under eircummances of singular dnusatie interest, and conveyed from the Western Railway station through the heart of the city to the deceased's residence in the Rue de Lendrea, and yet that in no club, cafe, or printing-offioe (save that of the Siiele alone) the sad news should have been known last night. The first information which the Parisians received on the subject was eon bleed in the following affecting paragraph in this day's Bieck : It le with the deepest and most respectful sorrow that we record the death of the flhstriens General Cavaignac, who bee been torn away, while in the prime of life, sad in the moat *oohed-fur manner, hem the affections of his family and bone the *sem of all France. When the Slick, a short time ago, rave to him the strongest proofs of its vaseration sad ovatidesee, we were far from anticipating that the &i -deas representative of the population of Paris would so aeon aloes his existence. We shall relate on another walks the woes which distinguished the noble comae of the President of the Emotive Power, of the bellies. general. Rat now we en overwhelmed by the immense keg natal* by our cosatry ; we have not even the strength to Mate the affect * etreameavems of the *mem death, the courage dim ple* by his noble prong wife, the beset-rmediag farewell she rook of haw husband, that Irma rheas, who will be be moaned by all who are patriotic at heart, and who know how to bosom *ten virtue, abnegation of self, and genuine dignity. This -..eouncement, written by M. Marin under feelings of poignant grief for the loss of a personal friend, is silent as to the time, place, and circum stances of his death, all of which the public is eager to know. There are, as might be expected, a great many different versions in circulation, and the coun try papers give many details which arc certainly imerreet. This much is certain, that he died in the country very suddenly while in pursuit of sniper or woodeocks, and that ho was brought to Paris yes terday by his wife in a railway train. I proceed to give the narrative which appears to me—and I have conversed with several personal friends of the illus trious deceased—the nearest to the truth. Yea may remember that General Cavaignac had a small property in the country between Lo Mans sad Tours. I always understood that it was in the de partment of the Seethe, but it may be as some of the evening papers state in the neighbouring de partment of the lode and Loire. The estate is called a chateau, but so small is the house that General Cavaignac was a year or two ago busily employed in contriving how to build three or four extra rooms in order to enable him to offer a spare bed to a friend. On Wednesday afternoon, towards sunset, the general was walking in the garden of this chateau, when a man servant came up to him to say that he had marked down a woodcock in a close adjoining. The general asked for his gue, and went imme diately in search of the game. Whether he fired a shot or not seems uncertain, bet he had not long left the garden before he staggered, exclaimed that he did not know what was the matter with him, and handed the gun to his servant to hold. A moment after he said, " I am dying,"—be fell down, and breathed his last in the open fields. I fully understand that he died before he was taken home, and that the heart-otlieux of his poor young wife, of which M. Havin speaks, were rendered to his inanimate corpse. The cause of death is generally said to be an aneurism of the heart. Others denominate the disease an hy pertrophy of the heart, and say he had been long subject to it; but it seems beyond doubt that, to a casual observer at least, ha was in perfect health till the moment when be breathed his last. His wife, the beautiful daughter of M. Oilier, the banker, to whom General Cavaignac was married about six years ago, determined at once to bring the body of her husband to Paris for interment in the vault of the Cavaignac family in the Cemetery of Mont martre. Yesterday morning she set out, accom panied by her infant son, four years old, a relative of her own, and M. de Fairy, a relative of General Cavaignac, for the Torus railway station. Arrived there, a special train for Paris was asked for. The railway officer on duty refused, on the ground that the polio, regulations necessary for the transport eta corpse had not been complied with. Madame Cavaigue asked to see the chief of the station, and said to hint, "I am the wife of General Cavaignac I am going to Paris with his dead body to bury it there ; I must have a special train immediately." The officer received the unfortunate lady with the utmost courtesy, and, as it is related, on his own responsibility, furnished a special train at once, and telegraphed to all the stations to keep the line clear. Madame Cavaignac, who had come to the station in her own carriage. ordered it to be pot on a railway truok, and proceeded to Paris, sitting by the side of the corpse dressed bk ordinary clothes—the clothes in which he died—mss ' a living man. With wonderful courage and devo tion she often took the body on her knees and wept over it. On arriving in Paris she proceeded to the general's town residence in the Rue de Londres, and at once sent off a messenger for M. Navin, the redadeur-sn•chef of the &Me. Her next care was to fit up their bed-room as a ehapelk ardente with candles and black cloth. There, lying in a dressing gown, his fine countenance calm and unchanged, the dead body of General Cavaignac was seen yester day by a very few intimate friends—M. Gaud chaux, M. Hari°, and M. Peseatore, being of the number. Baron de Baragul, the general's uncle, was also there. An eye-witness tells me that some of the bystanders said to the bereaved infant of four years old, " Regarde him ton pire it eat more." The poor child was too young to understand its low, and replied, with a ►ook of sad curiosity, "II don bien." The funeral takes place at noon to-morrew. The orrice will be reformed at the &mei at Bt. Lexie NINA, 00 t'OBER .rAtid4. Great military preparations have amen ' made td prevent any political manifietatitina stieh as took place at tke funeral of General Ltniarque In . 1833. Ide siett think anything of the kind is to be feared. I believe the liberal population of Pods to be now too sensible to make a funeral the mitten I of a demonstration which would only_throw discredit upon their cause. M. Magne's favourable financial report, although aided bye rise of a per cent. in Consols, failed to produce any effect upon the Bourse, to the great dis appointment of many speculators. The ltente fell 4c. for account, closing at Mfr. 96c. For cash there was a rise of 6c., the last prim being 67fr. 10e. Mobilier fell 10fr. The Western Rail way rose from 121 r. to 20fe., but in other lines there was no marked alteration. PIEDMONT. TURIN, Oct. 30. Count Sicardi, formerly Minister of Justice, died yesterday evening. He wu the originator of several measures of law reform which are now in operation. BRAZILS. 8017THAMPTON, FRIDAY Evaxixo. The steam ship Petropolis his arrived from the Brazils with a ship's letter mail, 50 passengers, and a full cargo, comprising 9,000 bags of coffee and a quantity of miscellaneous merchandise. After despatching from Cowes her passengers, &c., by small boat, the Petropolis proceeded on to Hamburg. Her latest dates are : Rio de Janeiro, Oct. 1 ; Bahia, Bth; Pernambuco, Bth; St. Vincent, 16th; Lisboa, 26th. . . From Rio we learn, ender date Sept. 30, that the coffee market was firm ; sales since the 16th, 13,600 bags; stock in hand, 100,000 bags; freights, dull; exchange on London, from 271 to £. The floor market quiet. There is no news from St. Vinoent. The Calcutta had not arrived oat when the Petro polis left. The fever was decreasing. The stock market was dull. Exchange woe quoted at Mk. THE WEST INDIA MAILS. The Royal West India mail packet La Plata, Capt. Weller, Admiralty agent Lieut. Brydges, R.N., arrived at Southampton yesterday with the Wat India, Panama, and Mexican mails. Her dates of sailing are :—Vera Cruz, October 5 ; Hanna, 10 ; Greytown, 6; Panama, 9; Jamaica, 11: Demerara, 10 ; Barbadoes, 12 ; Antigua, 14 ; St. Vincent, 11 ; Grenada, 11 ; St. Thomas, 16. Professor Arista], the eminent geologist, had visited the West India Islands for the purpose of ex amining their geological formation, with a view to mining operations. He was struck down with fever at Havana, and was taken away from there appa rently in a dying state; he, however, recovered on his voyage home, and is partiaßy restored to health. The freight on board the La Plata inclades specie to the amount of 1,000,869 dollars; of which 479,359 dollars' value is in silver, and 608,346 dollars' value in gold. Of Jamaica the Kingston Morning Journal says, in its review of the fortnight: " Trade has been dull, and agriculturists have not derived that benefit from the setting in of the October seasons which they looked for, in conse quence of the rains having extended very little to the interior and north-side parishes, while the south side of the island has been visitei by heavy and con tinumui showers. The long and continued drought hu told severely on the cane fields. The general opinion is, that if the season, are tolerably heavy, they may enable the planters to produce tolerable crops, but they will come too late for anything better. With the small settlers things have been more cheering, there having been sufficient rain to enable them to produce a large quantity of breadstuff's. The rise in the price of sugar has induced the owners of small settlements in the rural districts of the north side of the island to turn their attention to the ex tended cultivation of their lands in canes, and in a short time a profitable trade will be carried on between these people and the shopkeepers. Many of the latter have in an adjoining pariah offered to purchase the crops at liberal prices, and to advance means for the importation of machinery." We observe in the local papers complaints of malaria fever, not unusual at the season, but the mortality was not excessive. The obituary of the fortnight includes the names of John St oodl ey, Esq., purveyor to her Majesty's forces, and Dr. John , Falconer. The legislature is to meet on the 10th of November. JUBBULPORE. (From the Hammen( Neff from India and China, of October 29.) The following extracts of private letters received by us from Jubbulpore are so Interesting that we give them in extenso, notwithstanding their length : Sept. 18.—My last report of events mentioned the appeo hewers of certain rebels, and the alarm raised on account of a reported attempt m resew. For the last two days the joint CCOMidil3l of Lieutenant Clerk t deputy own catisiome of Jubbulpore, Captain Mason of my nrdwor, ' and myself, have bean trying the awe, and the following fact, have been elicited. For the lost two or three months Shunkur Shah, ma old Rejeli of the bond dynasty, by been plotting the umeramt er n of the English at Jubbolpors, es elm the de struction of their bowie by fire, and • general plunder of the treasury. and anything elm they .wild put their hands quo. In this he wee satiated by hie eon Rogoostb Shah, sod others, reseeding whom we have at present bet unceetein evideme. Information of the plot having been given to Lint. Click, he sent a chupratieee, in the disguise of a Mrs, to lad out more of the matter ; the scheme was eminently socomoftd, fur the rajah and Nun were regularly deceived by the taw, and disclosed milkiest of their misdeeds to warrant their 09rvaccordinglyu., and accordingly a large body of polioe wore 04. Me at Lieut. Clerk's bungalow, end be led damn to t o lte rajah's house, but when within a mils of the village be galloped on with the sowers, and eurrounded the vi until the foot police arrived, when the work of awe b= commenced, and in the bag of the rajah was found a paper, written in Sauecrit, of which the following le a tronalation . " Claes up the months of tale-bearers, Having chewed the We-bearers, eat them, Grind to pieces the enemies, KW the neck* Having killed the English wetter them, 0 Mat Chusdu (0 mother Devoe) let none ceespe.

In feet, malting evidence was obtained to prove that ex twelve plots had been rented on ; and this morning, about 11 a.m., both rajah and son were blown from guns in the Bends/my Compound the others have been reserved for to morrow, But now the example has been made, we do not isogose blowing any mom away from grans. I our hardly guess the commotion this will create; but we had a duty to perform, and have dune it moat effectually. We bare more to fear from our bad men end the scoundrels of the Thames department then from the country people ; for it might frighten them into action. Luckily, we have of the Madras column with us, so wo could hold oat ten times our numbers for a good time. More to-morrow.

Was it not moat providential that we got ;osmotic's of it, and not the mutineer*, for we had an Immense quantity of ammunition P So precipitate was their flight that they left all their cooking utensia, bedding, greet coats, dm., itc., in their huts ; indeed I hear that in many huts food was found ready for cooking. I forgot to mentan that we also suc..eeded in getting the arms of the furlough men, amount ing to upwards of 300. So we have every roman to be meet awl-rely thankful foe our most lucky escape. On the 19th and Afth we was engaged getting the ammunition Waldo the garrieon and also strengthening our defencem, and last night Lieutenants Barton and Cockburn came in from Suleemakied, where they had been on command, and told us that their date hment had advised them to quit, end signified their intention of going to Delhi. We have aill two companies with Major Erskino's column; and my follower tells me they will not stand, so we expect to best of their desertion, or rather attempt et desertion, for Major Erskine has Euro pean artillerymen and analry with him, and these might make short wort of the two companies if they can only he caught In time. Of the companies which have gone, Shell , h Dayanut Allis, havildar major; Salim Bultah, mkt; Dine= Singh, nick; Gunge Misr, subsdar ; and some 12 Sepoys only have remained. Jemadar Junbez Khan has, we be hove, held out at Kutsugee, where he was in command, and • few may stand of the Dumoh companies, but, including drummers and rismies, &c., we do not muster more than N men. Lall Tribedie, drill havildar, commands the rebels, with the rank of general. Guam Lolls, Mnthoorn Mier, and Buldee 800kool, havildare, have been promoted to imbadars. As far es we know Macgregor ia treated civilly, but one sentry over his house, and one over hie horse, to pre vent escape. The following is the true translation of the epistle sent in to the colonel by the mutineers "To his Excellency, the Lord of Clemency, the Bountiful of the Age, his Excellency Colonel Sahib Balladeer, may his power be perpetual. " After mamas, the representation is this, that Shaikh Dayanut AU,,, havildar major, end Seller Buksh, eaiek, and Darts Singh, naick, (here follow the names of ten Sepoye), and other, whose names are unknown, them SeNys, sir, sen d here ; and this regiment the havildar major ruM4 and said that the major sahib and Mown sahib told the padres gems to seize all the arms sf the regiment and kill the men, then you will receive 30 re.

Tile the havildar major made to the havildare on duty. speech e. not said this we would not have daunted and saved our lives by flight, as only from the havildar =doe's speech we deserted ; it is proper that these men should by some mama or other be sent to ne—let them be seized and sent ; we committed no Injury to the government, sad as for the muskets and cartridge-boxes which we brought away with us, we have loft our pricy in lieu thereof ; having sold it, take the price; each y left about thirty rupees worth of property ; also be p eared to send pay for one month and fifteen dam ; we are men of honour, and are doing government service here. Your lordship snswered that the Madras Soppy' as not under my authority, then, hee ling become heiplese, we mute Roz a here by your order to save our lives, and on lisp the 1 when your enters fled, then we, being faithful to our salt, id not say anything to yore lordship, and at that time the Madera regiment was not present ; and when the adjutant Sahib wee attacked by a Sepoy with it bayonet, if we had not been true to our salt, why did we seize the &pity and make hint over to you ? And your Uighur is our lord end master, bat when we did not dal any way to save our lives, we fled sad came hare ; and we had regard to your lordship's salt, If not at that time we might have lnEed you ; and if you do not let those Se go, then this Sahib we will not kill, but, having bound him, will take him to Melted, and if yen will send them Sepoye, then we will came the Sahib to arrive where you are. Moreover, bay ing mired those Sepoys, send them with • guard of police, and it will be well ; and if life remains, we will again be pre sent in your eervice, we will not run away. This letter is written on the part of all the Sepoys and nowcommiamtnted officers. All Sepoys, non-commesioned and commintioned Offiellig, send seam." To this production no answer would have been sent ; but with the hope that come of the men who were taken stray against their *ill might be able to come away with Maegte ger, I concocted and wrote the following in Hindu' : " To Buhl«, Jewanee, Sabadar, aner a many nonmom misaioced officers and Soma who are well- wi rers of the state, this adrke is given —th at the acts you have committed were without reason, and your ignorance and folly were great ; in fiat, what has happened has happened. Bat there Is one way for your good, which, if you pay attention to, for your whole life you will remain saying ' Baas the Colonel Sahib and all the officers who wish our gcod.' The advice is thin - -You have deserted, and all know that the panishment for desertion is great ; but you do one thing, and you will not be punished here by no; on rho contrary, we officers will solicit the Governor-General to forgive your offences. The work is this having brought Mr. Macgregor with you, coma hem without fear, and never think that any one will practise deceit with you, because when we have once written that no harm shall come to you, it shall not mine. Again, whet you write to send the havildar major, ke., such • bad thing we cannot do, or ever will do ; end when we showed them your petition, they ear-eased their willingness to go, but we will never let than go. Undastand ell of you, that up to this time noth in g so had has been com mitted which might not be pardoned ; if Mr. Itargnegor is in any way hurt, or any robbing takes pima you will not Nape by our endeavours to save you. Understand, ads, that you have committed • very bad action, but the Colonel Sahib believes that many men have been taken away spina their will, and to these men only is this advice given, for why should good men be ruined in company with the bad characters ? Understand, also, that no further cozamenies tan will be held with you, and not one logic Letter will be written ; therefore, if you intend following this advice, do so quickly, because, after s delay of one or two days, your pardon will be bombes. Whatever you do, do on seeing this letter. Why do you stabs an axe in your own feet ? P.S.— On arrival here you must make over your mus kets to the colonel ; afterwards as the order coma from the Governer : General—will be aeon afterward,. . . Sept. 26.—Our Pews of to-day Is manly, but good ea far as it goes. Five companies of Madras Sepoys and for et t i z a ro w. stne manned by Europeans have left Miimipore which plea the whole of the officers of the 50th Native a *entry, with 250 good men of the regiment, bad arrived en route for idtrmpote. The mutinous ham Revd. are reported to be at Singa pore, fifteen miles meth of Negode, the inference being that they are moving away from this pert of the country. We hear that the head-quarters of the 62nd mutineer. are entrenching themselves in &position near the river Hirun. If this be true, it betake= a pleasing state of perturbation on their part, end we need not be under any alarm about their attaching ma. In the multi= the reinforcements from Nsgporr, and the Medeas oohuon from Duniohare, are drawing near so fast as they am, so that in a few day. we will not only be quite sefo, bat able to take the field against the rubel.. Poo? Mae gruor is still a crimper, end we fear the exposure will kill him. It is raid that the scoundrel. give him food cooked by • sweeper, and have made his khtdmutgar over to a tuh seelder, who is with them. Latest news from Lueknow is that the enemy intending to blow our troops into the air, exploded the mine too soon, and 400 of their own party were killed, and the garrison seined the opportunity of attacking end utterly discomfiting them. The subjoined letter from Jubbulpore contains much interesting and important news. According to it, hoer Sing, of Arrah celebrity, wan in the neigh bourhood of the place, having been warned off the Rewah territories by the Rajah of Banda : Sept. 18.—You will be sorry to learn that the archsflend Koor Sing, at the head of the Obispo» mutineers and the Rawghur battalion, is now in full march for this place. About a fortnight ago we ;received the intimation that ba had weeded the Kale& pass, and had entered the Runde states, the rajah of which sent word to hint that if be at tempted to par through his territories be must fight every inch of the way. Not liking this he descended the OW *gals, and we were in the hope that he had gone away towards Onde. It, however, now appears that he merely west round the outer boundaries of the rajah's territories, estrum- ing via Bands end Negate, at which place be was expected yesterday. Whether the 50th Regiment will join his land which now umbers wen 4,000, it is hard to say ; but I em afraid the Sepoys will not be able to withstand such a temptation to loot, and if they do not, I do not see how the 01110 ere of that regiment can possibly escape with their lives, ea Nagele is in • most twisted portion, and surrounded by petty chide, who will be but too happy to murder them, even should they escape that fate at the hands of their own men. So fee u we are concerned, we ran, I have no doubt, hold out In the agency against this bend of miscreants as well ea our Mends at Arndt did-manly, unfortunately, we see no chance of success, as the services of the Rditibad tome were diepensed with by the commissioner, who did not anticipate Pitch en =dome= visit from these people. ROTHElllteet.—Wednesdny a public meeting wth held in the Mechanics'-hall, Rotherham, for the purpose of inaugurating a subscription in aid of the fund for the relief of the sufferers by the Indian mutinies.

In Calcutta we have at last done something, the results of the establishment of the India Reform Leagu e . The China force is gradually coming in at last. H er m s . jestyvverew ship Senspareil, SO guns, with 300 of the Roy a l Artillery ; the transport ateamtreCleopstrs, wile 400 of fk i , 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers; Adventurer, with 300 more of the wee regiment, and 270 of the 82nd Foot; and the Mawriliss, with 700 of the 93rd Highlanders; her Majesty's ;hip Belisha with 330 more of the latter corps; her %- jetty's steamer Penelope, with HMSO Artillery end home from the Cape, have all arrived since last week. Betides fifty-eight of the Royal Engineers who came up in the Lightning steamer from Singapore, we ought won to be favoured with some of the troops coming to India round the Cape. It is now mouth= ninety days dace the first of the transporte left Portsmouth; but they may u well have the benefit of thew air a li ties longer, for nothing is ready for them here. The sarue miserable incapacity, the same red tape imbecility, that killed our poor soldim-s la the Crimea, are rampant line. Though these troops have been sighed for and expected these last two monde, though every English soldier who can be added to Havelock's force is equal to IGO of the enemy, though our poor beleaguered country men at Lucknow and elsewhere are hourly pseytog for help, 2,000 of our noble soldiers ' Fusiliers and Highlanders, are kept kicking their heels for days on board transports or in the fort, because there are no means ready for conveying them up the country, and those that ere detained on board the transports are kept there because there are no quarters reedy for them on shore. The authorities well know that a ship crowded with men, moored by the tank of the river in September (the worst month In the year), is about the best encouragement to cholera that can be de- vfasd. They know it so well that out of the crew of H.M.S. Seaspareil they have sent 400 men into the fort. But High landers sod Fusiliers who come out to save India, our mann and children from torture and death, ere better on board 'hip with malaria around them, than in wholesome querns, or on the river on their way to the rescue. Some times English soldiers in Calcutta aro forgotten altogether. Witnese the case of the detachment of her Majesty's 63rd Foot, ntationed at the Normal School during the Mohorrum, who were kept literally forty-eight hours without food. 'lf Engrah soldiers are thus forgotten when they see so few, what in the name of goodness will be the malt when the reinforcemenbi come pouring in and see detained here ? Two or three regi ments will be forgotten then, and se Gamed Red Tops won't allow them to buy food for themselves they most starve. The 260 men of the Military Train or Land Transport, who strived bare a month ago, were immediately mounted on the horses of the Madras Carob" , Regiment, which refused to tanbark for Bengal. The horses arrived about tke same time. This Sc. body of well-mounted Eng lish troopers only left Calcutta three days ago. Had they been cut on as soon as they ought to have been after their arrived, they might have joined Havelock by this time. Such wicked mismanagement speaks for itself. If It be said _ _ _ that the Medias hors; were too much out of condition after the servoyage (which could hardly in the south-west mon moon have been more than ten days), then I my that they might have picked up oondition sufficiently during their trip tip the river to enable them to be of service when disembarked at Allahabad ; but, whether these were ready or not, there were the splendid hones (the finest troop horses in India) of the Governor-Generers body-guard. Had three been handed over to our English troopers directly the letter arrived, a body of cavalry might have been sent ➢p tq and me this joined, Havelock's force, which would now be of incalculable service to him. If Lord end Lady Conning must have their disarmed black troopers to rids behind them in their evening canter, sus* twenty-flue borer would be enough for that purpose ; the met might be owed to dare in the uninteresting work of saving my lady's countrywomen tram death. It makes one's blood boil to write about it. . And now soother dilikulty has arisen in reference to these troops, end simply bemuse (really it is the case) there L no one here connected with this government who knows his business. When her M►jesty's ship the Belleisle wan at Sandhead., the Underwriter, an American steam-tag, ran down to her to take her in tow, and demanded 2,500 re. (2501.). This sum was refused, and the Underwriter world not tow the ship to Calcutta for leer, sod steamed away from her. Now, be it remarked that the prim demanded was the ruling price paid by large merchant vessels. The Panther, an American ship, paid, I belie►e, 3,000 rs. Many circumstances have lately combined to make steam towage far mere expensive than before. It Is sufficient to say that the price demanded was the ruling price. But because the Underwriter refused to tow the Sellable to Calcutta for less, the marine au thorities have in committees interdicted all their pilots from bringing in any vessel towed in by the Underwriter. The consequence is that as every ship meat have a government pilot on board the Underwriter's occu pation is gone. The American merchants in Calcutta ire In such • state of excitement that they have caused the English owners of steam-tugs to take the matter up, an I understand that the latter have given directions to the corn menders of all their tugs not to take any government vessel in tow, or any vessel having government troops on board. Thus the government Interests, the public intimate, must stiffer front the imbecility of the marine anihmities. The state of the money market here is something fright fa, for not merely the merchants but the Make Merchants vainly sought loans on their oolopany's paper The Bank of Bengal could not advance money even on Mint certificates It refused cheques drawn against them The government wee then applied to, and ad vanced • large sum on Mint certificates Unless money comes front England • terrible financial crisis must overwhelm Clocutta. _ _ • The arrival of the few troops that have already come has had the effect of slightly raising the value of government stock, which as the troops poor in may probably rename something like its former value, unless indeed a loan at 7 pet cent, or some higher figure be raised out here, or an Imperial loan kw 'relied at 4or 5 per omit. Then where will be the or 5 per cent. East India Company's paper ? The Bank of Bengal, a month or two ago, through their government direc tion, bought 230,000!. of government paper as a 'peculation. In the prevent dearth of money which will last some time yet, they must sell out, and they will be fortunate if they do s o with a loss of only 30 per cent. However, with the advent of the whole of the troops everything will improve. We had a grand field day the other day with the Infantry Volunteer.. We mustrred 600 men, and were reviewed by Lord Canning sod Sir Colin Campbell. We really want through our evolution., and marched remarkably well. Our commandant, Msjor Davies, deserves great credit for the way in which be has drilled us. Both Lord Canning and Sir Cohn Campbell seemed much pleased with no. We were told by the former that Lady Canning would take an early opportunity ed presenting the regiment with colours. Talk of the English not being a military nation. I defy any one of the great powers to turn out, in no suort a time, a bodyof volunteers, cavalry, artillery, and infantry, ea well dieciplinad, as wall :drilled and as effective in every respect, as we exiled Anglo-Saxons have done in Calcutta. The cavalry have already got themselves a small band, and we of the infantry have made arrangements to boy the band of the disbanded (I can't help the pun) 19th Native Infantry, which we shall take over directly the government sanction the allowance for the mueic'eas. The Royal Artillery (300), brought by the Sanspareil, leave for the Upper Provinots to-morrow by river. The Sled Hightsnders and the Sappers and Mines proceed along the dread Trunk road at once by bullock train, 100 MD per day. The Esplanade of an evening presents a very Menet appearance to the old humdrum course of Calcutta. Two lins.of-Ladle ships, the Sanspeuell and Ballets* the splendid @mew frigate the Shannon, with the Pearl, ere moored off the Esplanade. Numerous Urge trensporte, the monster Hima laya, and men of war of the Indian nary are at anchor in the dream. Several bands play afloat and on shore, and military sad naval uniforms of every description ere seen everywhere. Highlensdene and salon, artillerymen and marines, yeomanry earthhy end rain of the mounted land traniport corps, fra ternise in little groups, or walk up and down together. The great guns of the men-of-war, the 500 or 600 tam on hosed each of than, have given the natives of Calcutta a mom practical notion of England's strength than they have ever had before.
