Mt en of the heroic tale of the capture of Delhi must remain untold till next mail. That the whole of the city was in the possession of our troops on the 20th of September rests on the authority of an ex press received at Bombay from the Residency at Jey pore, ri.i Ahmedabad in Gamut. The offeialbulletins, by electric telegraph to Lahore, only bring the rear rads e of the reduction of Delhi down to the evening of the 16th. This paucity of intelligence appears to be in part owing to the circumstance that some of the Lahore deLs had been intercepted and plun dered by marauders on the frontiers of Seinde. This casualty does not appear to have had its source in any political movement, but it is obviously referable to the disturbed state into which the servile war now raging throughout Hindustan has, more or leas, thrown all the countries under the sway of England, from the Indus to the Ganges and Bmlunapootra. A goodly number of the inmates of I telhi appear to have been of opinion that discretion is the better part of valour. No sooner had the English troops effected a lodgment within the walls, than large bodies of the enemy were seen retreating both along the bridge which crosses the moms and through the Ajmcree gate, by the road that leads to the famous Kotab Minix. Among these valiant heroes appear to have been the KING and two of his sons. Their brief nightmare dream of sovereign away is already at an end. According to one report, they were last heard of at a village about six miles from Delhi; according to another, which had reached Bombay through Ajcaere. the KING at least had already been taken. It is not likely that any of them can long escape: these effeminate nurslings of the Zenanarre not the men to rough it in the jungle, sad for them there is no other place of refuge that can long b- safe. Public opinion will demand that chin captured they shall be put upon their trial, as one mi ar.s of eliciting the troth respecting the origin of the revolt ; and that, if convicted of having se duced our native soldiers from their fidelity, or of having authorised, or been accessories to, the slaughter of Europeans in Delhi, they shall, one and all of them, suffer the last pe nalties of the law. They sic British sub jects; they have never legitimately exercised sovereign sway i they have lived in luxury on the eleemosynary grants of the English Government. If they have repaid its liberality, its protection, its courtesy, carried to the verge of sycophancy, by se ducing its soldiers aid massacring their European fellow-subjects with circumstances of revolting acd snprosokcd cruelty, their lives are forfeit. The farce must have an end Is which the representatives of English sovereignty have been wont to pay a de grading homage to a few of the least worthy of its 'objects. The natives of Hindostan must be taught by "sample how precious in the eyes of England are the lives of the poorest and humblest of Englishmen. They must be taught that even princely or priestly descent is no shield for any murderer. There are news, too, of other fugitives, in whom there is more of danger than in the unworthy descendants of TIXCII, spurring their way in hot baste from Delhi in its day of doom. Two regiments of &pop have been heard of in a village in the vicinity of Havasu vowing with one voice that no power on earth could induce them to return to Delhi ; that they were on their way back to Dude ; and that thee, in the land of their nativity, they would live or die. Many such bands, more or less numerous, are now winging their flight across the lloab, or southwards, in the direction of Malwa, scattering contagious panic as they go. It is mainly by their means that the fall of Delhi will be made to tell on the native mind. Their way-worn plight and timid haste will re-assure our real friends, and will render many who in the hour of doubt stood aloof from us, or even gave indications of their hostile intentions, profuse in their demonstrations of friendship. It is not in Hindustan alone that men are most anxious to befriend us when they know we are in no need of their good services. But within the walls of Delhi there were men of sterner mood and more indomitable will than these fugitives royal and plebeian. Six days of incessant fighting were required to make the city oars. The assault was made on that line of wall facing the north which extends—aome two thousand yards in ►ength—from the Janina to the Cabal gate. This part of the city wall, with the exception of a re-intrant angle where the Cashmeres gate is situated, is in a straight line aa far oaths Shah Bastion. From this point it recede., in a mouth-west direction, till it leeches the Cabal Gate, a distance of some flue hundred yards. The Cnabineree Gate was carried ' soon after day-break. A short way within the gate the street passes between the Re sidency Church and what is called indiffe rently Stull otit',l or SKINNER'S house. These two buildings, and soma others near them, appear to have been taken with little difficulty. The amailants then spread themselves along the ramparts in the direction of the Cabal Gale, and there it is that they -cern first to have experienced any very resolute resistance. They, however, made good their position ; and their principal losses, during the first day's lighting, are said to have occurred in their desperate efforts to reach the Junta Nltujid— or Great Mosque—in the centre of the city. The hith was spent in shelling the Magazine, which is Immediately to the south of the church, taken on the tint day ; and the Palace, somewhat farther on in the same direction. While this work was in progrese, the gnu on the Shah (or Moores) Bastion and the tower near the Cabal Gate were turned upon Burn Bastion and the Lahore Gate, pal tions to the southward which had 13e . Zip.ken up ri... t the mutineers. Throughout Alpittir sold continued to work their way til U the 'gift r and by nightfall a practical* ,havinglion. made in the walls of the Magazine, It was resolved to form it next morning by daybreak. During the whole of the IStb, bodice both of Cavalry and infantry kept leaving the city, but the greater part of the mutineers continued resolute to dispute our further progress. At daybreak on the lath the Magazine was stormed, and carried with little loss. The shower of shells which throughout the preceding day had been poured without intermission on the Palace was kept up. The party advancing along the ramparts com pelled the enemy to abandon the Kisheng tinge Bat tery, a little to the north of the Lahore. Cate. A battery on the other aide of the river, which had plied our soldiers in their advance, was also re ported to be abandoned. Towards the afternoon it became apparent that the organisation of the mu tineers into regiments was fast being broken up; they continued, however, to tight in detached groups in a spirit of the moat determined inveteracy. During the day they even made an attempt to retake the Magazine, bat were repulsed with little difficulty. By night fall the British had established a line of poets from the Magazine to the Cabul Gate—that is, nearly along the north bank of the canal; at once an in dication of how much of the city they had unques tionably wrested from the enemy, and of the far greater and more important part which, after three days' hard and incessant fighting, still remained to be taken. An impenetrable veil rests as yet on the history of the next four days. All that we know a, that ultimately the whole city fell into the hands of the usailants. Thus much is certain, tbaz its capture was no children's play. To the last, the English had only a couple of not very consider able or well-appointed siege trains ; whereas, as early as the 16th, they had already taken 200 heavy guns from the enemy. The assailing force cannot by any possibility have exceeded 10,000 men; whereas the enemy must have amounted, at the very least, to three or four times that number. After entering the city the assailants had to tight their way, street by street and house by house ; and it is apparent that, notwithstanding the nu merous fugitives who kept pouring through the City gates, every available position was fiercely and obstinately defended by the moat valiant of the mutineers. Throughout the struggle the English Army appears to have been admirably kept in hand by its conimsnder. The order of the day, too, issued by General WILSON some days before the aeuult, is most admirably oo received. He skilfully identifies his own feelings with those of the army by proclaiming at the outset that no quarter is to be given to the mutineers, Haying thus conciliated the impatient and naturally vindictive mood of the soldiers, ho adds the positive injunction to spare the women and children; and follows it up by orders relative to the keeping to gether of the soldiers, and the bringing of all booty to the common stock, admirably calculated to avert those excesses which are apt to make men blush for balms nature when reading the story of a city taken by assault. When the whole story is known we hel oonfident that Englishmen will have every rea m to be proud of the manner in which a great work al retribution has been accomplished. TIE trial of ETINA and TRORNE on the twofold charge of having published a libel on the Hon. F. W. CADocAN, the Deputy-Chairman of the Sub. marine Telegraph Company, and of having endea voured to extort money by offering to prevent the publication of such libel, has terminated in a ver diet of Guilty, and a sentence of twelve months' hard labour against both the accused parties. The circumstances of the case were shortly these : In the early part of August last certain stric tures had appeared in the Times money article with reference to delays that had taken place in the transmission of messages by the Submarine Company. On Monday, the 3rd of August, our contemporary published a letter, in reply to these complaints, from Sir JA3IE4 CARMICH %EL, the Chairman of the Company. On Tuesday, the 4th, the manager of the Times received a telegraphic com munication from the defend.snt EVAN% then at Gravesend, stating that he was in a position to prove that the management of the Submarine Company was by no means so imnuieulate as the letter of Sir J. CARMICH %EL represented it to be. On the next day—the Wednesday—E% &xi appeared in person at the City office of the Times, and there had an interview with the gentleman who so ably conducts the City news of our contemporary. On this occasion EVANS dated, as the fact was, that fur two years previous to 18.54 lie had been Superin tendent of the Submarine Company, that he had not been discharged from their service, and had received a testimonial on leaving. Ile proceeded to state that he was in a position to controvert the statements contained in Sir J. CARMICHAEL'S letter, as to the mode in which the affairs of the Company were con ducted. The City manager of the Time told EVANS that he wild not then go into the matter, but that if the statements were put into writing they might be sent in. Ev.cN4 promised to return the same day with a letter embodying the charges he had to make. He did not, however, reappear until Saturday, the Bth of August. On that day, accompanied by Captain THORNE, he again presented himself at the City office of the Times, and brought with him the letter which constituted the libel. The charges it made were of a very grac e nature. It imputed to Mr. Cstxx; ix that he was in the habit of visiting the instrument room, reading the despatches, and then proceeding at once to his brokers with a view of employing the knowledge thus unfairly gained in operations on the Stock Exchange. It also imputed to him that on several occasions be caused the contents of public despatches to be forwarded to his private residence, and that in one specific instance he directed EVAN% contrary to the fixed rule of the office, to give prece dence to a menage of Baron Itornaanies over se veral others which had arrived before it in order of time. Such were, in substance, the charges contained in the letter. Considering the position of high trust and responsibility occupied by Mr. C MOGAN, it is impossible to conceive accusations of greater gravity. The City manager of the Times very properly de clined to take upon himself the responsibility of giving theworld-wide circulation of that journal to allega tions so serious, and referred EVAN s and his companion to the Manager-in-Chief of the paper. It was then about three o'clock on the Saturday afternoon. It was notified to EVANS that at four o'clock the Manager-in-Chief would probably leave Printing honse-square, and Evers quitted the City office with the avowed intention of proceeding thither, after having first communicated at the West end with a brother of his, formerly • clerk in the Submarine Company, with a view of ' verifying certain of the statements in the letter. EVANS re-appeared no more that day, bat at seven o'clock on that same evening Captain Tnoaxs called upon Mr. Cannery. It is not immaterial to rAnark that this call at 7 o'clock was in consequence of an appointment made between two and three the THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY E/MEING, OCTOBER 419, 4 same e i rd• l it not to gra/ Arn ;what nt that tervie abandon/4 evident Tnoanu ' all a ts to make money.olit tif the ipprehe • panamodor. Mather sv ► na was cognizant of endeavouring to do so appears less clear. The Jury, by their verdict, have found that he did; and 011 inch a paint as this it would be idle to set any conclusions formed from • mere perusal of the evidence, against those arrived at, under a grave sense of responsibility, by men who have heard and watched ths witnesses, and en joyed every opportunity of having presented to them all possible views of the case. . . . . . .. . Mr. CADOOAN no doubt took the boldest u well as the wisest course in immediately instituting pro ceedings against both Ev.vws and THORNE. The result of the trial shows that in the judgment of the Jury the former defendant had made charges of the most serious :nature which he had no means of sub stantiating, and that both defendants had offered to withdraw, for base motives, accusations whichhad pro bably never been put forward from very elevated ones. To this extent Mr. CADOGAN may congratulate himself on the firmness and dexterity with which he has encountered this attack. To this extent, but no further. It is impossible not to feel that some of the admissions he was compelled to make in the witness box, were of a nature very much to impair that abso- lute confidence, that petfect freedom from all possible suspicion of underhand motives, which is one of the float requisites in the responsible manager of each a Company u this. We will go no further than the single fact that, according to his own admission, ever since 1848 the Deputy-Chairman of the Subma rine Company has been, and still is, an habitual speculator on the Stock Exchange. This is quite enough. The instrument-room of that Company is the daily depository of secrets which arc worth hun dreds of thousands to men who operate largely on the Money Market. To that room the Deputy- Chairman of the Company had constant access. We feel satisfied that he made no improper use of this power; bat as a rule of universal application, no di rector of that or any similar Company ought, directly or indirectly, ever to have a dealing on the I Stock Exchange. Until this rule is strictly en forced, it is impossible that suspicion should be avoided. In one way or other it is very certain that the most important secrets of the electric wire do from time to time reach the City long before they are known elsewhere. Al our City article informed our readers, and as most people at all connected with the money market are perfectly well aware, the news of the fallof Delhi wasknown on the Stock Exchange, and affected the Funds, some time before the close of operations, although the Telegram did not reach Downing-street till a quarter past 4. This is merely one instance out of several : the last, but by no means the least. As long as any of the influential officers of these Telegraph Companies are notoriously and admittedly concerned in Stock Exchange opera tions, it will be impossible to prevent the existence of suspicions, for which it is in the last degree de sirable that no ground should be given. The ma nagement of these establishments should not only be beyond the range of proof, but above the reach of rumour. elm Court. WINDSOR, Orr. 2a.

TIIOIIEO3 Q. FINIS. TO THE RIGHT 1101. THE LORD MAYOR OP LONDON: My Lord,—We have been requested by the committee of the Bombay fond for the retie( of the sufferers from the muti nies in the upper provinces of India, to place oureelvea In oommunlcation with your lordship in reference to a resolution passed eta public meeting held under your lordship's auspices on the 26th August I'M, in the city of London, and in the object of which we heartily empathise. . . 2. The resoludon to which we hare been directed to call your attention Is that which provides for the remittance to Calcutta of the whole of the subscriptions to your fund. No doubt the domands on the Calcutta committee in furtherance of the object will be very heavy, but the amount of subscrip tions raised In that presidency is large, and substantial addi tions are being made to it from Madras (about 8,0001.) and from Ceylon (about 3,0001.). 3. In our cruller presidency of Bombay we have of course not been able to raise anything like so large en amount, our fund amounting only to Re. 66,000 (0,8000, whilo the de mands on us are proportionably heavier, arising out of the circumstance that this plara is more ready of access than Calcutta to enilerers in the Punjaub and the provinoes in the North-West. Our fund has already been severely tuned, not only in providing comfortable accommodation for recent in- dividuals and familiee, who have found their way hare, end in sunning many to proceed home, but also in aiding the local relief fund committees at Kurrachaa and Lahore with pecuniary contributioas. In consequence of their urgent representations that their means were nearly exhausted, while there were numerous cases of sufferers in want await ing relief and the means of leaving the disturbed districts, we have sent to each of them 300 f., and an appeal from the superintendent of the Lawrence Male Asylum at Huasowleo, has been responded to by no by a grant in aid of 300/. 4. We have reason to believe that we shall be called upon to afford assistance and relief in numerous other cam; but we apprehend that our sources will fail unless timely rac oon, is extended to us. 5. Under these chturrietances. and considering the common purpose whkh wo have sll in view in the formation of these Relief Fund., the committee venture to hope that they may not be deemed tutreaeonable in earnestly soliciting that • por tion of the imbscriptions raised in the City of London fur the relief of the unhappy sufferers from the mutinies and dis turbances in India, may be remitted to Bombay for distribu• lion amongst those who, felling under that description, are compelled to look for help from the Bombay Committee. 6. In the hope that this request may receive the cordial support of your lordship and the favourable consideration of the London Committee of Management, we have the honour to subscribe ourselves your lordship's faithful and obedient servants, F. lIVTCIIINPON, pro self and VICNACiiIIOTTIVOOONATMOIL, • Mammary Secretaries, Bombay, Oct. 3, 1857.

The Mats, which has lately been accused of pessimimn in regard to the affairs of India, now very frankly admits the immense importance of the capture of I)elhi. It saps: . . . . . . Without being the end of the iturarrection,it is beyond all doubt the most ecotone reverse which the insurgents have yet met with, and for the English the success has an immense import. It surpasses the moat sanguine expectations that were entertained In England, where people did not venture to flatter themselves that the news could have been brought by this mail. The general opinion wee that the sant& could not be ►ttempted until the arrival of reinforcements from Europe. That Delhi should have been taken by the small force already before It, is the very beat news that Gould have happened. Betting slide the material and poei tive result, the moral effect which will be produced by the event upon the mind of the native population Ls of inesti mable value. It is admitted by French writers that the Mar seilles despatch, which represented the English in Delhi 111 being surrounded and cut off from provisions, wu a maucaise plaisataerie, cococted by ignorance or malice. The Paine says it is enabled to contradict the as section of several journals that Nunez is coming to Paris. On the contrary, he remains in Madrid with the intention of taking his seat in the senate. He and his friends have declared that they will offer no factious opposition to any legally constituted ministry. An article, written to order, in the Constitution ma, by M. Renee, confirms all that I have lately stated uto the French government being resigned to give up the onion of the Principalities. Bo far from seconding the wrathful menaces of the Pays and Pairie, the Coestieutionnel, speaking upon better ad vice, does "not pretend, with some organs of the press, that the question is conclusively settled " by the votes of the Divans ad hoe. The Divans have played their part—they were "consultative assem blies, but not a constituent or legislative assembly having power to organise a government. That task belongs to the Congress of Paris, which has never thought of abdicating its prerogative." The plain meaning of all this, when taken in jute position with what we know of the machinations of diplo macy, is that the union of the Principalities is to be thrown overboard. 1 have for some time considered the question es virtually settled, and shall not return to it unless unexpected circumstances should arise. The Bourse did not at the opening maintain the improvement which took place on the sudden at the close of business yesterday. But when it was found that Console were very firm, the Rente which opened at fi6fr. Mc. (for account) rose to 66fr. 80c., and was thenceforth well supported throughout the day.

Advice* from Berlin state that as the King of Prussia has now entered on convalescence, no further bulletins are to be issued by his medical attendant+. The Prince of Prussia transacted business on the forenoon of the 25th with Baron de Manteuffel, the President of the Council of Ministers, and after wards received the members of the Council of State. His Royal Highness expressed to these gentlemen how deeply he felt the responsibility of the duties which had devolved on him, and how anxiously he looked for the re•establishment of the King in perfect health. THE OVERLAND HAIL-OFFICIAL EXPRESSES. By the well-devised arrangements of Mr. Rowland Hill the India malls have come to hand with the utmost pos sible deepatah. The Calcutta mail, 48 bona, that Idl Mar seilles on Monday at 10 p.m.. arrived in Paris in time to be sent on by the regular mail train at 7.30 p.m. on Tuesday. It arrived at Boulogne at 1.5 a.m. yesterday, and the Royal Mail packet Prince Frederick William having been Bent over for the special purpose, emb..rked the boxes in the roads, conveyed them to Dover, against a strong wind and tide, within two hours ; and the mails having been transferred to the speck] train, it ran up to London in I hour and 58 minutes, the mid arriving at six minutes put 6. Tho time occupied in conveying the 48 bozos from the station to the boats and by the boats from the shore to the packet occupied 45 minutes. The night was dark, it blew a strong breeze from N.N ~ and there was much swell in the bar. The second mail, 12 boxes, from Bombay, left Parts at six o'clock yesterday morning by special train, arrived at Boulogne at fifty minutes past ten, was embarked slao in boats, aid taken on board the mail packet Prince Frede rick William, that mall haring returned for the purpose. She started at seven minute., past eleven, ran acme in one hour and 46 minutes, when the special South-Eastern train brought the mail to London in one hour and 68 minutes, arriving at London-bridge at 2.54 p.m This mail was brought from Paris to London in 8 hours end 64 minutes, but the mall on Thursday week last was brought over in 8 hours and 44 minutes—the shortest time In which the journey from Paris to London was ever accomplished. The authorities at the General Post-office, swing that by special trains and special boats the mails mild be got to London, via Boulogne, In time foe despatch ing the country portions by the same evening mail trains, gave the necessary cede's then, as they did yesterday, for the special services ; and thus the letters for the country will be delivered to those to whom they are addressed twelve hours before they would have received them by ordinary despatch. The overland India mail on Thursday week left Paris by special train at sixteen minute* past seven, am., arrived at Boulogne 11.40; the 33 boxes were embarked, and the Imperial mail steam-packet Queen left the harbour at 11.59. She reached Dover at 1.44 p.m., the mails were landed, and were at the station within tive minutes, and by special train were in London at four p The tootle were expectel to be landed at Folkestone, but the advantages of Dover were so apparent that, fortunately, no such mistake was made as to divert them by that route. Independently of the fact that Dover is more than a mile nearer Boulogne than Folkestone, there would have been great lore of time in taking the latter port, inasmuch as there woe a risk of the mails having to be lauded in busts at Folkestons, on amount of the want of water in the harbour; whereas, at Dover, the inconveniences of its tidal harbour are aU avoided by the construction of the Admiralty pier, at which large vessels rut land and embark paaaangets at all limos of tide. A BISHOP Ito PA/MON.—The following strange story is given by the Droie :—" Some months bark a bishop snot celebrating Divine service at Cocoons, and amongst the congregation was a retired soldier, who recognised the pre late as a man who had served, as a common soldier, in the same regiment as himself, and who, after long-continued misconduct, bad deserted. Surprised to fled a deserter become a bishop, the man made communication to the authorities and • searching Investigation was insti tuted. It led to the discovery that the bishop, whose name is Pereira, really was a deserter, and that after de. sating he went to Portugal, where he gave himself out se chaplain of a regiment. As be displayed considerable know ledge of theology and was of good eddies., he was intro , duced to the eolesiastical authorities of the district, and they, after awhile, gave him a curacy. In this post he distin • I ' ,a s ked himself by his eloquent sermons, awl after a while be was invited to Lisbon, where crowds, chariots' by his elognence, also flocked to hear him. At Lisbon he was be fore long consecrated a bishop. In 1864 he went to Madrid, where Ws fame preceded kim, and there likewise be excited admiration by his oirmons. He was ;elected to pre*ch on *meal solemn occasions, and amongst them on the anniversaries of the fatal ?nd of May. Never having been ordained • priest. he cram not • real bishop; yet he administered •ll the offices of the church as if regularly ordained. For this serious offence he has jut been condemned to 18 years' hard labour. The Pope, having been appealed to on the subject, has declared that all the eoelesiastical act, performed by the man shall be considered valid ; but doubts are entertained whether, in spite of this,. the maniagu celci.rated by him are valid in a legal point of view."

They had not beset there long when his attention was attracted to the two pd. soners, whom ho knew to be pickpockets, who pas= him and went and stood directly. behind the ladies before mentioned, He watched them, and observed Turner lift tip the mender of one of the ladies, and put her hand in her poket, apparently without success. The prisoners then walked on, and he went up and caked the lady if she bad been rubbed. She replied in the negative, and he then pro. ceeded atter the prisone r, and came up with thorn in Oxford street, where be saw Turner manipulating the pocket of two ladies while Smith covered her from view. The pri soners did not Fume to be successful in their avocations, and on turning round to go away they caught sight of him, sad imeAdiatd,_ jumped into an omnibus which happened to be passing. He ran after the vehicle till it stopped at the rom per orrottenham-court-road, when he informed the con ductor of the sort of characters he had got in his " bum" The conductor fetched them out and inquired if any of the pas sengers had lost anything, they said they bad not, and witness then conveyed them to the atatimphouse, where they were searched, end on Turner was found • valuable geld watch and cha n, and SI. in gold, wrapped up in • piece of news paper.

The police stated that there were a number of carts toge ther iu the liigh-road, Knightsbridge, this morning, and as they very much impeded the thoroughfare, they were ordered away, but instead of dispersing, they went a little way, then turning round teemed their origina l positions. Mr. l'aynter —What were they doing? Policeman—They said they were standing thereto Bell their bay, which they had brought from the country. Mr. Paynter—ls this a common occurrence, or did it merely take place this morning only? Policeman—Of late this has become a complete nuisance, and mows regularly on Tuesdays, Thursdays., and Saturdays, when these men occupy the road. Mr. Pa ter—Was there any absolute obstruction caused by the defendants this morning. policeman—Yes,as one of them men turned, two carriages and a borreman were completely stopped, and when the other turned an omnibus and another carriage were also at a _ . . . Mr. raynter—ls there no hay market in the neighbour hood ? Policeman—There is not. Mr. Pay uter—Considering the demand there must neat roily be at this end of the seam for bay, it is much to be regretted that that is not. I wonder that bay growers have not provided some place; as it looks absurd to take hay right through the City for sale, and then bring it beck to the weat end to the purchaser. I however can't allow the groat thoroughfare at the lop of Sloane-kart to be obstructed, and &andante must pay 10e. each. If this is repeated I shall impeee the fall penalty el 400, SOUTHWARK.
