Tilt. more detailed accounts tram the seat of war in Indi► do little more than fill up the outline pre viously communicated by telegraph. The most sad.- reprerientatirce of British feeling in India cannot forbear from retlecting how much suffering, and sus pense, and death might have been averted bad its arrival not been delayed by the hesitations of office. People on the spot cannot understand why the Home Government should have spent " four months in dis " covering the fact that troops could be sent in "safety through Egypt, and the men who have " taken ninety days by the Cape, base reached in " thirty or forty rid Alexandria." To them it ap pears that if such a coarse had been adopted, "the " honour of the Bombay army would have been " saved, the Mehidpoor and Kotah outbreaks have " been avoided, and Lucknow spared the agonies of " sin weeks' siege, which we can as yet only hope to " have ended in the safety of the beleaguered." In all thews points we agree with the Bombay Times: but this discussion is for another season. The im mediate object of eager and confident anticipation is that the next telegram may communicate the tidings of the utter overthrow of the (hide mutineers and of the triumphant relief of Lucknow. factory item of additional intelligence thus conveyed to us is the fact that Sir COLIN Csurout. had re ceived a letter from Sir JAMES OCTRIM declaring that the garrison could hold out for some days yet, and begging that no fear of its danger might interfere with a complete victory. The date at which this letter was received is not stated, but it is fair to presume that it was either shortly before or shortly after the arrival of Sir CoLIN CAMPBELL at Cawnpore. The energetic Counsel:feign- Cuter had made an astonishingly rapid journey from Calcutta to Cawnpore. In six days, from the 28th of October to the 3rd of November, the pliant veteran, travelling like a courier at express speed, had accomplished the distance of 628 miles which separates the two cities. The precipitancy of his movements led him on one occasion into the greatest danger. Pushing on without a guard, he came, a little beyond Shergotty, upon a large body of the cootie/ere of the 32nd Regiment, who, mounted on elephants, and flanked by parties of light hone, wen in the act of crossing the Trunk Road, not far in advance. Sir COLIN, perceiving at a glance the full extremity of the danger, gave instant orders for • rapid retreat, and galloped back ten miles along the road he had just ?ravened, till he fell in with • bullock train, whose friendly escort enabled him to pursue his route to &nun. Nothing but the urgent and extreme pressure of the crisis could excuse --even that can scarcely justify—the heroic rashness of this unguarded advance. Arriving at Cawnpare on the 3rd of November, Sir COLIN had not balm able to leave it till the 9th. The interval was of course actively employed in collecting with all pos sible speed such a body of reinforcements as should enabk him not only to relieve I.ucknow, but tostriks a decisive blow at the beleaguering army. It appears highly probable that the reassuring letter from Sir tuts; Octave had been received by the Com m %tenet-Is-Ours either oa or before his arrival at Cawnpore, and, his mind thus set at nee as to the immediate extremity of the garrison, it would naturally become his object and his duty to assemble wider his command such • force as to enable him not only to rescue the besieged but to crush the besiegers. The exact amount of the effective force which Sir CoLIN would find under his order at Alumbagh appears to be as yet a matter amine doubt. It can not, upon the most liberal computation, exceed in all 10,000, intanding Europeans, Sikhs, and Choorkas ; probably 0,000 men in fighting order would be Nam the mark. The peewees of our arms in India has been each that nu odds stem formidable in the open field; wen this not so, the work cut oat for Sir Cot t s CAMPBELL would have appeared not • little arduous. The force of the enemy is currently estimated at 30,000; their position was • strong one; they had site) gene; the whole population appears to have been with them. 8o vigilant had been their guard, so dense their number', so feeble our garrison, that between the 2:ith of September and the Std of November—a Cbc Court. period of nearly Ni weeke—aot • single messenger had been able to make hie way anus the three mile. that separate Luckier ham Alambagh.

Whether the farce present with Sir COLIN CANN BILL at Lecturer in the middle of Roviewilier will be each as to enable him at once to undertake the campaign of Onde a • matter of more doubtful spe calatisa.4 Hs will probably deem it expedient to await the arrival of those miefareinneete which, at the mailing of the last steamer, had been for some time pouring rapidly into Calcutta. By the middle of November mow than 12,000 British troops were collected in the metropolis of British India.

This line of defence was anticipated by the indictment, which alleges, however, in reply to it, that both Madame de Jeufosse and her sons had repeatedly told Crespel that they had a right to kill anybody who got over the park wall in the night, and that both the Pro cureur-Imperial and the Judge of Instruction of Bernie had told them so. It is also observed in the indictment that the barrel which was not fired was found to be loaded with shot No. 4, which was quite heavy enough to kill a man. The despatch states that Madame de Jeutosse, on taking her scat at the bar, shed tears abundantly. licr two sons were very fashionably dressed. Madame Guillot, the widow of the murdered man, sat by the side of her advo cate, M. Cresson, of the Rouen bar. She wee dressed in deep mourning and kept her veil down. Since writing the above I have received a copy of the indictment, which I enclose. It is very long and you will not probably be able to find room for it, but it bears out in almost every particular the narrative above given. It states, among other things, that M. Guillot, when first he became a constant guest at the Chateau de Jeufosse, made love to the governess, and that Madame Jeufosse shut her eyes to the liaison. But that he afterwards made love to Madlle. Blanche de Jeufosse, and then she resolved to have him put out of the way. It is distinctly stated in the indictment that the letters placed in the tree were addressed to Msdlle. Blanche; but it is also said that the mother alleges that she received them all, and tore them up without Msdlle. Blanche seeing them. There are rumours of grand financial schemes es being in contemplation among the princes of finance. It is said that M. l'ereire is negotiating a fusion of the Credit Mobilier, the Credit Foncier, the Comp toir d'Escompte, and an important though less known establishment than the three foregoing—the Ws*. St. I'aul. MM. Rothschild, Bartholony, and others—who are called the syndics' of the banker—have on foot a rival scheme, according to which the Comptoir d'Eacompte would be reorgan ised and started afresh, with the enormous capital of 200,000 millions of franca. In consequence of the serious mistakes which sometimes occur in the telegraphic reports of the price of Consols, the government has, I am assured, molted that in future these telegrams shall not be delivered out unless they are sent in words, and not in figures.

The King was received with enthusiasm both by the parliament and the population. On the occasion of the fele annually celebrated in Genoa on Ike. 11, to commemorate the expulsion of the Austrian*, there was a good deal of excitement, and groups were formed in the streets, but they were easily dispersed, and by the evening the city had resumed its usual appearance. THE PAPAL STATES. ENGLISH TRAVELLERS AND ROMAN BRIGANDS. (711011 OUR OW CO ZZ 7ZZ ONDISNI.) ROME, Dr.c.s. The brigands in the neighbourhood of the Eter nal City have just resumed their periodical practice of epoliating such incautious travellers as take more money with them than is necessary for their own wants or less than will suffice to pacify the earl sacra fames of highway assailants. On Monday evening at seven o clock a vetturino carriage was plodding its weary way from Cis ita Vecchia towards Rome, and had reached a spot four miles on this side of Palo, when its farther progress was opposed by seven bandits armed with bludgeons, pistols, and daggers, who stopped the vehicle and proceeded to rifle the passengers, consisting of Dr. Conolley, Roman Catholic bishop of Halifax, on his way to Home te pay homage to the supreme head of the Church, Mr. Blake, and Mr. and Mrs. Harper. The Bishop was eased of 1401., besides his episcopal chain and arose, and the pastoral ring, a fine emerald, which he wore according to custom. Mr. Blake, feeling greatly averse to submitting to spoliation, in his turn manfully resisted the outlaws' invitation to stand asd deliver, but he was finally overpowered by num bers, after being severely beaten and having had a pinto! presented at his head, which fortunately missed fire. Mr. and Mrs. Harper were robbed of their watches, chains, and purses ; an l altogether the plunder realised by the marauders may be valued at about a thousand wadi, or over 2001. At any rate this inconvenience, which always threatens travellers to and from Civita Vecchia and Rome, will disappear so soon u the railway, which is promised for next July, is actually opened to the public. Our principal subject of interest just now is the arrest of the Marquis Campana, ditector of the Monte di l'icta, for a deficit in his administration, amounting to upwards of half a million of acudi, which sum, it appears, he was hoping to replace by the sale of his celebrated museum of objects of art, which is unrivalled in that branch devoted to Etruscan antiquities, and has long formed one of the principal lions of Rome, having been invariably open to the visits of strangers through the courtesy of its owner. The government is pushing on his trial with a degree of severity the leas approved of by the public, as it js affirmed that it was not without some ministerial authorisation that the marquis made use of the funds of the Monte di Pies, which he had frequently but rowed and replaced with the due rate of interest. Esf modes is rebus, however, and, perhaps, the amount to which the deficit had risen appeared tb the govern ment to endanger the establishment. At any rate the marquis was arrested on Saturday morning, at the Monte, in spite of the privileges of his rank and the sacred immunities of the loatlity, and on the follow ing Monday an official announcement was issued to re-assure persons having funds vested in the esta bliilimeat, their capital being fully guaranteed by the government. Great excitement was caused by the news of the marquis's arrest, as he has always been a good friend to the poor, as well as a liberal patron of art, and military precautions were deemed necessary to ensure the safety of the prison of San Michele, where he was placed in confinement. Reports are in circulation that the Marchese Cam pana's acknowledged influence with the Emperor of the French will produce some good offices in favour of her husband from his Imperial Majesty. THE CRISIS AT HAMBURG. PARIS, Dec. It. The financial crisis at Hamburg is terrible. The 30,000,000, appropriated by the Senate to the partial alleviatioa of the distress, will barely suffice to assist some insolvent firms, whose ruin must have pallid 11101n1 a multitude of small Maders.—Pod. UNITED STATES. The Now York Herald of the Ist remarks upon the state of commercial affairs : The bank statement for last week shows a very extraor dinary movement in the leading departments. There bee been an important increase in each department except dis counts. The following figures exhibit the changes, compared with the previous week .—Decrease in loans and discounts, 412,302 dole.; in in specie, 1,135,366 dole.; ineresee in circulation, 237,366 dole.; increase in deposits actual, 1,923,057 dole. The decrease in diaconate, with suc► un •ugnentation of strength in the other departments, shows a degree of prudence and caution seldom seen In our bank managers. Ned they practised a little of these virtues last spring and the early part of the summer, we should not have seen such • sudden sad serious contraction. Tim accumulation of specie in our beak vaults may look very well on piper, but it is calculated to prevent any return to • more prosperous state of basin's. affairs. This immense amount of specie has been drawn from the pocket. of individuals end locked up In the vaults of our beaky. The metallic currency of the country is lying idle in our banks instead of cinalating through all the channels of immicerce, giving life and staength to every local interest. It is by no mane a favourable feature to see the banks piling up specie in their vaults at the rate of a million dollars per week.

At Cincinnati it was mild and pleasant, while at I fetroit the ice was thawing so rapidly that a large number of vessels detained in the river would be able to get into Lake Erie by the 30th ult. At Chicago and Oswego the weather was of the same character. The ice in the Erie Canal at Buffalo was thawing, and strong hopes were entertained at Albany of a re-opening between tidewater and Rochester. It is now confidently expected that much of the produce locked up between Montezuma and Albany will reach the latter city.

A collision took place last night off the Newarp 1 1 light-ship, between the New Pelton screw Meant-ship and another steamer, which is supposed by the captain and crew of the tamer to have [mustered. The New Patton is the property of the Waterford and Milford Haven Steam-Packet Company, and was on a voyage from London to the North for a cargo of coals. In consequence of the damage she ruatained she put into Yarmouth-road', and intended to return to the Thames. At daylight this morning a large steamer was re-ported to be sunk on the Cross Sends, off Yar mouth, which is believel to be the steamer that was in con tact with the New Pelton. Thin vessel turns out to be the Rapid, screw steamer, belonging to the London and Edinburgh Steam Shipping Company. She was from Edin burgh with pawengero and a full cargo of merchandise, and bound to hongate Wharf, London. liar crew and passengers were saved.

FRANCE. • EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL—A LADY AND HER TWO SONS ACCUSED OF MURDER. (non OI: II OWN 00111UNTOMDINT.) PARIS. MONDAY EVENING, A trial for murder comes on this day at Evreux, which is destined to take rank among the most ce lebrated of rouses ellibres. A lady of noble family, handsome fortune, and hitherto unblemished cha racter, inhabiting the ancestral mansion of her late husband, her two sons, and an old faithful servant, are accused of the wilful murder of a neighbour who was at one time on intimate terms with tho family, but whose acquaintance, for rations which do not clearly appear, it was lately desired to drop. The circumstances, so far as they are at present known, and can with propriety be related, are shortly as follows:—Madame de 'outcome, is the widow of M. de Lanidpce de Jeufosse, a cavalry officer of some distinction, who retired from the service on the accession of Louis Philippe, in 1630, and from that period to the time of his death, about ten years since, resided on his estate, the Chateau de Jeufosse, a few miles from Ewen:. M. de Jeerer. lett • widow, two sons, and one daughter, end a fortune of about 1,0001. a year. Madame do Jeufosse, whose maiden name was lie Beauvais, belonged to an old and much respected family of Vein. She is now forty nine years of age. Her two sons, Ernest and Albert de Jeufosse, now respectively of the ages of twenty five and twenty-two years, have, since their educe tion was finished, been in the habit of paring the greater part of the year in Paris, where they did business at the Bourse. They always, however, went to stay with their mother at the chateau during • part of the summer. The daughter, Madlle. Blanche de leakage, is in her nineteenth year. Since the death of her husband, Madame de Jeufosse lived a very retired life, and devoted herself to the education of her children. At the time of the tragical event to be presently mentioned there was a governess in the house, named Madlle. Laurence Thourery, a young lady about twenty years old. Crespel, the man servant (forty-three years old), was born at Jeufoese, and has passed all his life in the service of the family. the name of the individual whose violent death is the subject of the now pending inquiry was Emile Ouillot, and this completes the dramatis persona.. M. Ouillot belonged to a rich tradesman's family, of °anion, a village not fur from hurter. His father was a govern ment contractor, and had left all hie sons, of whom there were several, 1,0001. a year a piece. M. Emile Ouillot, who was thirty-two years of age, was married to a young wife, and had two children of tender years. He is described as having been • person of ' frank pleasing manners. Although the 'edam family was, both in feeling and habit, altogether aristocratic, and seldom visited any but aristocratic families, it happened that about two years since a more than ordinary intimacy sprung up between them and M. and Madame Ouillot. This intimacy continued down to January in this year, when, for reasons, which as Madame de leafage is alleged to have stated, concerned the honour of her family, she determined to break off the acquaintance. H. Ouillot had brought scandal upon the go verness, and then addressed himself with similar impropriety to the daughter. Madame Guillot at once resigned herself to this rupture, but M. Gullet could not, or would not, bring himself to believe that it was serious and final. He thought Madame de Jeurosee had merely given way to a momentary caprice, and that there would be no diffi culty in renewing the old friendship, which he ap peared greatly to desire. He waylaid the family whenever they went out, and spoke to them gaily as if nothing had happened. Madame de Jeerers was greatly annoyed at these attempts to make her revoke what, on her part, was a settled resolution. Many anecdotes of these forced interviews are cur rent, which will, no doubt, be elucidated at the trial. The Chateau de Jeufosse tt a building of the time of Louis XIV. or Louis XV, The principal front is separated from the road by a court of honour and a high iron railing. At the back there is a lawn sloping to a garden, beyond which there is a park surrounded by a low wall. It is stated that M. Guillot had several times got over this wall at night in ceder to deposit in • certain hollow tree • letter for some inmate of the Chateau de leafage. However this may be, it is certain that on the 12th or June last, at about ten in the evening, he, accompanied by a servant named Oros, rode on horseback along • lane that bounded the park wall, and choosing • favourable spot, slipped off his horse upon the top of the wall and jumped down into the park. Hardly had he done so when the report of a gun was heard, and M. Guillot fell mortally wounded. He called out for help to his servant Oreg, but the latter, panic-stricken, ran as hard as he could to the chateau, where he knocked hard at the door, but could get nobody to answer. Ile then ran back to the spot where his master fell, and found him writhing in the dust in the agonies of death. H. Ouillot charged him to convey his dying farewell to his wife and children, and to ask theirpar don, and then breathed his lut. Oros, however, was too frightened to go back to his mistress that night. Fie went toe friend of the family, a retired lawyer, named Tripet,li vi ng at Courmoulin,to whom he told his story, and it was not till the next day that thebody of Guillot wss removed from the spot in the park where he felL It is alleged in the indictment that the fatal shot was deliberately fired by Crespel, the old servant, by the order. of Madame de Jeerer', and her two sons, and that it being known that M. Gail lot had been in the habit of getting over the park wall, Crespel had been lying in wait for him with his gun for several nights successively. The trial excites extraordinary interest at Evreux. The hotels are overflowing, and every bed to be let in the town is taken. Great nurabers have gone from Paris to bear the case. M. Chair ffltstange was originally retained to de fend Madame de 'carcase, but when he was pro moted to the office of Procureur-Imperial, his brief was transferred to M. Berryer. Madame de 'career, who, on account of her health, was allowed to reside in an hospital after her arrest in June, has lately been transferred to the Evreux prison, to await her trial. fleyeral of her relations and friends have takes lodgings in the town, and visit her es often as the prison regulations per mi.. Her sons, as well as the servant, Crespel, are in the manse prison, but of course are kept apart from her. Mdlle. do "came since her mother's arrest has been residing with her governess at the hotel of an aunt at Vernon. No less than fifty-one witnesses are subpmnaed by the crown, and twenty five by Madams Guillot, who appears to support the prosecution as partie eirite. The trial is ex pected to last all the week. A telegram received from Ewen: this afternoon states that after the reading of the indictment, it was agreed between the public prosecutor and AL Berryer that Mdlle. de Jeufosse should not be examined as a witness. Crespel was interrogated by the presiding judge, M. Vannier, of the Im perial Court of Rouen. He admitted that in TEN NVEDNII AND SUICIDE IN ST. I'AIICRAs FURTHER PARTICULARS. Up to a late hour last night, the police, under the directions of Inspector McDonald, of the S division, have been making inquiries to discover who the unfortunate per. sore are who lodged at Mr. Ilarpee's Coffee-house, Drum mond-street, Beaton-square, the gardenias+ respecting whose awful deaths were reported in our impression of yeZ trade,. The inquiries were renewed to-day. The police have balm endeavouring to trace the cabman who brought the deceased parties from the London-bridge Railway Sta. lion to Mr. Harper's, and they have also been to the various resort. of foreigners in the neigh bourhood of the Haymarket and Leicester-square. The supposition is that they came direct from Fran,* to Mr. Harper's, and that they wero not intimately known In the metropolis, as no letters were received by either of them. Much mystery appeared to be connected with the cirennutanee of their taking up their abode at Mr. Harper's, sad it is the opinion of some persona that as the woman teemed entirely under the control of the man, from wheel. presence she was never allowed to be, and by whom, while I she spoke in hie presence, eke was often checked in her re marks, that she was a consenting party to her death. This is surmised, as not the slightest struggle wsa heard between them on any one occsaion throughout the day ; nor was a shriek nor scream heard uttered by her. Had there been ens uttered, it would have been sure to have alarmed either Mr. or Mrs. Harper, who were in the house at the time. The key of the mom where the dreadful tragedy was perpetrated is in the poasession of the summoning oilisier of Mr. Walley, the coroner, so that everything will remain in the room as left till the inquest. THE E4STERN HeIICH.—NON-APPEARSNCE OP MR. STEPHENS. EDINBURGH, MuNuar EVENING, At the Bankruptcy Court this day Stephens did not appear. Application was made in his behalf for en ad. joutnment on the ground of ill health, and to give him lion to look over books and documents on which he had been un enpectedly examined. Application, on the other hand, wee ramie by the trustee fora warrant for his apprehension. Mr. Sheriff Hillard overruled the first application, there being no medical certificate produced, end granted a warrant to apprehend him. In a letter to the trustee Mr. Stephen. states that hie health has suffered greatly from his long-continued end humming examination. It wee, he adds, unreasonable to expect he should on the instant account for the contents of the many letters, books, and documents of the bank kept by subordinate °fibers, end that be should have the respott @Uglily of all their entries fixed on him. On subsequent inquiries he finds that he has made statements to his preju dice, which are acknowledged to be erroneous, and he there forers'nhes ample time to look over the bank books that he may rectify and prevent erroneous stint meats 0 11 future, and that he may show that all the advances to Waugh mere sanctioned by the directors, and that so late as February lost he was assured by Colonel Yates that Waugh's security only wanted time to be worth a million. His scent Ins appealed to the Court of Seselon egainst Sheriff Mallard's decision, but this does not stay execution of the warrant to apprehend. TRIAL OP MR. BRIGHT, OF BULL, 1011 FORGERY.

TUE MURDER 01' AN EMIGRANT PARTY IN AMIRICA.—The rumour that a train of emigrants proceed ing from the State of Arkansas to California bad been met and maemered by the Mormons, or the ledinns in league with, and instigated by them. is confirmed. The train had ranched the Salt Lake city on its way in safety ; had re mained there some days, during which disputes and quarrels arose between the Sainte and the Arkansas emigrants ; the latter applied abusive epithets both to the men and women of the community end otherwise insulted them. The train set out from the city amid threats of vengeance. which way rnthlerely carried into effect. It had prorceded for 16 day. same the country unmolested, but at that distance from the city was attacked by an overwheluting form of Indians, and the whole party, 118 in number, murdered. The scene of the roamers la about 200 miles from the Salt Lake. The train consisting entirely of settlers going to California, it was supposed there was much valuable property going with it; the waggons were of course plundered. The attack is be lieved to have been made on the 11th of September. It may be difficult to prove the complicity of the Mormon leaders in the affair, but from the influent-a they have over the Indian tribes the general conviction in California is that the ma mas was Instigated by them. There is evidence that the deed has been applauded in the Mennen pulpits. It is de scribed as a just retribution for the violence of the Gentiles in lemouri, and a " fulfilnient of the prophecies." A BANKING STORT.—Tbe editor of the Belfast Ihreentik Jarmd narrates the following in the course el • letter to the Vows Not many years dace • Naas gentlemen became indebted to one of these [Gamow] banks to the extent of several hundred thousand pounds; when he was hauled up It was found that be bad 'no easels,' and the bank, therefore, ' insured his life' to the extent of their debt, upon which they, of course, pay • very heavy annual tax. This gentleman called on the bank some time after and told one of the managers, ' I ant offered a lucrative situation in Sierra Leone, but vou know it I got out them the policy will be vitiated; however, I must go, as I can not starve.' What then, was to bedone? The ;woe men is now comfortably living on the Continent on an annuity granted him by this bank, which annuity, added to the premium of Maumee, forms • nice little item in the expenses of the cstablishmeet. The amount involved in the above treneaction was, I have good grounds for be hoeing, no lees than 350,0001., end I am also further led to believe that this amount forme part of the ' same • of the beak." COLONEL GREATHED.—We regret to learn that tbe mcgat telegram which baa brought borne the tidings of Col.
