The King and the Begum were captured on the 21st by Lieutenant Hodson. Two of the King's sons were killed. No despatches have yet been published, so that the exact amount of the British loss is not known ; but there is no doubt that it is much larger than was at first supposed. It is believed to have amounted to some 1,150 killed and wounded, including 01 officers. The mutineers have tied, some to It ihilound, some to Muttra, and some, it is believed, towards Oude. Pursuing columns have been organised, and one, under the command of Colonel Greathed, of her Ma jesty's Sth Foot, fell in with the Jahnsi mutineers at Boolundshuhur, on the •29th of September, and de feated them with a loss of 400 men.

Lucknow was relieved on the 25th of September by General Havelock's force ; particulars are not yet known, but the British loss was severe, amount ing to at least 440. The gallant General Neill was among the killed ; also the following officers :—Major Cooper, Artillery ; Lieutenant Webster, 79th; Lieutenant Pakenham, S-ith ; Lieutenant Bateman, tlAth ; Lieutenant Warren, 12th Irregular Cavalry. The relief was just in time, as the enemy had advanced some mines under the British position, which would have placed the brave garrison at their mercy.

RAVEN, A St. Petersburg letter, in the New Prussian Gazette, says : . . • _ The expectation which has been gradually gaining ground of the speedy suppression of slavery has become a certainty since the return of the Emperor. It is now known that his Majesty is firmly resolved on this reform, and it is thought that the Nth December, the fete-cla7 of the Emperor Nicholas, has been fixed on for the pal:idea tion of this measure, because his late Majesty, when on his death-bed, recommended it to his son. PRUSSIA. The Cologne Gazette announces that the health of the King of Prussia is every day improving, and that the Court will shortly remove to Charlottenbura. The old road by the Grunnewald is being repaired for the purpose. The Prince of Prussia will at the same time take up his residence at Berlin. SPAIN.

HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUCHESS DE NEMOURS d don Tuesday last at Claremont. The accouche ment of her Royal Highness took place at Clare mont on the 28th ultimo. Her Royal Highness had gone ou favourably for some days, and the attack under which the Princess sunk was as sudden as it was unexpected. The Duke de Nemours, and the whole of the members of the family, are plunged in the deepest grief by the visitation. Intelligence of the sad event was forwarded by express to Windsor immediately, and the Prince Consort at once pro. ceeded to Claremont to pay a visit of condolence. The Duchess de Nemours was a daughter of the Grand Duke Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and was consequently cousin of her Majesty and the Prince Consort. Her Royal Highness was born in 1822, and married in 1840 the Duke de Nemours, by whom she has had four children—the Count d'Eu, the Due d'Alencon, the Princess Marguerite, and, after an interval of eleven years, the infant whose birth has preceded by only a few days the untimely decease of its illustrious mother. MAJOR-GENERAL WILLIAm ROGERS died on Friday at Highfield. He was youngest son of the late Sir Frederick Rogers , Bart. The gallant officer entered the army in June, 1802, and was for many years in the Queen's Bays, until his retirement on half-pay in 1826. His commissions bore date as follows: Cornet, 24th June, 1'402 ; lieutenant, 20th February, 1806; captain, 4th March, 1813; major, 23rd June, 1825 ; lieutenant-colonel, 26th September, 1826 ; colonel, 22rd November, 1811; and major general, 11th November, 1851. SIR ARTHUR CLARKE, M.D., brother-in-law of Lady Morgan, died on Monday afternoon at his residence in Dublin. Sir Arthur was in the 84th year of his age. During the many years he resided in Dublin he had necessarily been brought into relations with all classes, and his kindly and courteous manner rendered him a general favourite. He was attacked a few days since with bronchitis, and from the first but slight hopes were entertained of his recovery. SIR JAMES BOSWELL, BART., died last week at Auchinleek, his seat in Ayrshire. The respected baronet was well known in sporting circles as a liberal and honourable patron of the turf. Sir James was son of the first baronet, and grandson of the biographer of Dr. Johnson. He was born in 1806, and married in 1830 Miss Jessie Jane, eldest daughter of Sir James Montgomery Cuninghame, Bart. On the death of his father, who fell in a duel arising out of a political dispute, in 1822, the year after he had been created a baronet of the United Kingdom, the deceased succeeded to the family honours and estates. We believe by his demise the baronetcy becomes extinct. THE DOWAGER LADY FREMANTLE died at Nice, on the 2nd inst., at the advanced age of seventy-nine. She was daughter and co-heir of Richard Wynne, Esq., of Falkingham, Lincolnshire, and was mother of the present Right Hon. Sir T. F. Fremantle, Bart., deputy-chairmsn of the Board of Customs. She was married in 1798 to the late Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Francis Fremantle, G.C.8., one of Nelson's most gallant officers, and a participator in the glories of Copenhagen and Trafalgar. He was created, in 1816, a baron of the Austrian empire ; which title his son, the present baronet, received permission to inherit by sign manual from King George IV. in 1822. SIR ROBERT PRICE, BART., wbo for nearly forty years has held a seat in the House of Commons, died last week at his residence in Stratton-street, Piccadilly. He was only son of Sir Uvedale, the first baronet, by Lady Caroline Carpenter, fourth daughter of the first Earl of Tyrconnel, and was born in 1.86. He married, in 1823, Mary, daughter of the Rev. Dr. Robert Price, and on the death of his father in 1829 succeeded to the baronetcy and extensive fa mil y estates in Herefordshire. In 1818 he was returned to the House of Commons for the county of Hereford, which he continued to represent up to 1841. In 1845 he was elected for the city of Hereford, and remained its representative until a few weeks before the late dissolution. SIR CLEMENT WOLSELEY, BART., died a few days since at Brussels. He was born in 1794, and was only sou of the late Major John R. Wolseley. In 1833 he married the eldest daughter of the late Mr. P. Homrigh, M.P. for Drogheda. On the demise of his uncle, the Bev. Sir Richard Wolseley, in 1852, he succeeded to the baronetcy. The deceased was formerly in the 80th Foot, in which regiment he served in India. He was high sheriff of the county Carlow in 1852, in which county the family have large estates. He is succeeded in the baronetcy by his eon, John Richard, born in 1834. FIRE AT WORSLEI HALL.
