The Transfer of Land Bill, which extends the powers hitherto exercised by the Encumbered Estates Commissioners, and facilitates the acqui• sition of an indefeasible title by purchasers of land in Ireland, cannot fail to be highly beneficial to the landed proprietors, and to advance the pro sperity of that part of her Majesty's dominions. The Act to which her Majesty has assented for the establishment of the Colony of British Co lumbia was urgently required in consequence of the recent discoveries of gold in that district ; but her Majesty hopes that this new colony on the Pacific may be but one step in the career of steady progress by which her Majesty's dominions in North America may ultimately be peopled, in an unbroken chain, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, by a loyal and industrious population of subjects of the British Crows. Her Majesty thankfully acknowledges the dili gence and perseverance which have enabled you, in a comparatively short time, to pass these and other measures of inferior but not insignificant importance. Many of you, in returning to your respective counties, have extensive influence to exercise, and duties to perform, of hardly less value to the community than those from the labours of which you are about to be released ; and Her Majesty entertains a confident assurance that, under the guidance of Providence, that influence will be so emploted, and thosi duties so per formed, as to redound to your own honour, and to promote the general welfare, and the happi , 'less of a loyal and contented people. We live in strange eventful times, and perhaps the session which has this day been brought to a conclusion may be regarded as one of the most remarkable of the many by which it has been pre ceded. Matters of vital importance, both foreign And domestic, have .been ventilated—formidable difficulties have been 'successfully surmounted. A quasi strong Ministry, or at least one supposed to command the allegiance of an overwhelming majority, has been ignominiously driven from office, which, notwithstanding the most spasmodic and factious efforts, it was unable to regain, while one supposed to be weak, has carried many valuable measures, and notwithstanding the Pal • merstonians were accustomed to taunt them with merely holding. office on sufferance, defeated all 'heir most determined onslaughts, and brought the session to a triumphant termination, having carried many valuable enactments, and solved some difficult problems. Nor is it merely what has been accomplished that should be regarded. The good seed has been sown broadcast, and it will doubtless produce fruit that will be very ac ceptable to the nation. The Session opened on the 3d of December last. Parliament was convened at that unusual season in order to pass a bill of indemnity to the Directors of the Bank of England for the infringe ment of one of the chief provisions of the Charter. The monetary code had naturally enough produced a monetary crisis. Firms of undoubted solvency ►nd unblemished reputation were compelled to suspend payments—credit was annihilated. There was no confidence between man and man. Trade And commerce were paralysed, and the minimum rate of discount at the Bank of England was raised to 10 per cent., while it was at least 15 to 20 for really unexceptional paper out of doore. Sir G. C. LEWIS witnessed this distressing state )f affairs with perfect equanimity. He, in fact, out-wooded WOOD.. He held out longer than that unfortunate financier, before giving relief, and insisted on 10 in place of 8 per cent., as the lowest possible rate tt which money could be advanced by the Old Lady of Threadneedle-street. In both cases the relief was not afforded until the .Bank itself re quired it. But the conditions were more stringent in the later case—and mirabite dictu—LEwis was even more objectionable than WOOD as the head of the financial department. The short winter session, however, afforded no opportunity for sharp contests. The bill of in demnity was, of course, carried, for every one re- cognised the imperative necessity for tho suspen• iion of the Act of 1844, which was only too long maintained. The relief afforded by the change was speedily apparent, although from the undue delay the Bank was compelled to take advantage of the permission so grudgingly and tardßy accorded. In February Parliament again assembled. Lord PALMERSTON felt himself to be a dictator, and acted the character to the very life. He thought nothing could check his prosperity, and that he could afford to exhibit a high degree of contuma cious insolence to independent Liberals. But the worm had already attacked the root of his pro sperity. The attempted assassination of the Emperor NAPOLEON had excited the terror of the French Court, and the truculent insolence, not merely of rough sabreurs, but of diplomatists, who ought to have known better. The Con- spiracy to Murder Bill was introduced, but not until the English people had been thoroughly disgusted by the uncourteous, but unan swered despatch of Count WaLzwm, and the reckless addresses of certain Colonels, duly chronicled in the columns of the Moniteur, de siring to be led against "the den of assassins," and to be permitted to take part in the sacking of London, and the subjugation of Great Britain. This was too much. The nation would not swallow the leek, and the second reading of the obnoxious measure was rejected by a majority of 19, in a House in which 453 Members were in attendance. Even after that defeat, Lord PALMERSTON might have retrieved his serious error. But he had been playing the despot, and could not be persuaded to give up the role. He chose to ride the high horse, and, as Mrs. DAMP wo uld say, was obliged to " submit to the consequences of the sitiwation He tendered his resignation, and to his grievous disappointment found that it was accepted, and that Lord DERBY had chivalrously undertaken the task of forming an Administration. The diffi culties were apparently insurmountable, but still the Noble Earl responded to the call of his SOVEREIGN, and obtained the co-operation of a distinguiahed party far surpassing, in every respect, the quondam colleagues of the veteran Viscount. The new Ministry was formed, not merely of men who had already proved their ability, but the most promising juniors were stlected, and Lord DERBY was truly fortunate in the valuable assistance which he secured. The Earls of CARNARYON and DoNOUGUMGRE, Mr. SEYMOUR FITZGERALD, and Mr. GATHORNE HARDY, have each and all afforded evidence that ic wise heads may rest upon young shoulders." The best selection was, however, that of the Solicitor-General, Sir HUGH M'CALMONT CAIRNS, who certainly made what may be termed the speech of the session, par exce t / le the w hi c h circulated throughou t h rena speech length and b re adth of the land, an d which, materially hich assisted s in defeating the factious motion , PARLIAMENT. The Parliamentary Session was closed this day by the Lords Commissioners. The following gracious speech from the throne was delivered at two o'clock ; and thus the labours of this event ful Session, marked by measures of no ordinary importance, and denoting a hopeful future from a strong and liberal-minded Government, have been brought to a happy terminhtion. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, We are commanded by her Majesty to express her satisfaction at being enabled to release you from the duties of a Session which, though inter rupted, has, by your unremitting assiduity, been productive of many important measures. Her Majesty is happy to believe that her rela tions with foreign Powers are such as to enable her Majesty to look with confidence to the pre servation of general peace. Her Majesty trusts that the- labours of the Plenipotentiaries now sitting in Conference at Paris may lead to a satisfactory solution of the various questions which have been referred to them. The efforts, the gallantry, and devotedness dis • played in India by her Majesty's forces, and those of the East India Company, have been above all praise; and her Majesty hopes that those efforts have already been so far crowned with success, that the formidablo revolt which has raged through out a large portion of her Indian possessions, may lIQW, under the blessing of Almighty God, be speedily tsuppressed, and peace be restored to those important provinces. In this hope, her Majesty has given her willing assent to the act which you have passed, for transferring to her direct authority the govern ment of her Indian dominions ; and her Majesty hopes to be enabled so to discharge the high functions which she has assumed, as, by a just and impartial administration of the law, to secure its advantages alike to her subjects of every race and creed ; and, by promoting their welfare, to establish and strengthen her empire in India. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, Her Majesty commands us to thank you for the judicious liberality with which you have made provision for the exigencies of the public service. The present state of the revenue authorises her Majesty to entertain a confident hope that the supplies which you have granted will be found fully adequate to the demands upon them. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, The sanitary condition of the metropolis must aliays be a subject of deep interest to her Majesty, and her Majesty has readily sanctioned the Act which you have passed for the purification of that river, the present state of which is little creditable to a great country, and seriously prc &Okla to the health and comfort of the inhabi• Cants of the metropolis. Fier Majesty has also willingly assented to an Act whereby greater facilities are given for the acquisition by to wns and districts of such powers as may be requisite for promoting works of local improvement, and thus extending more widely the advantages of Municipal Self-government. Her Majesty trusts that the Act which you THE SITN, LONDON, lONDAY EVENING, AVGITSTT 2, 1858. hoped, would hale restored the muffle of power with double strength to the former Premier. That effort fell, howevel . , stillborn to the ground, and Mr. CARDWELL'S motion, which it was hoped, would have completely upset the Govern ment, was withdrawn, and materially served the party it was intended to injure. From that time forth the business of legislation proceeded with comparative smoothness. The Government won golden opinions from men of all parties, and those " who came to curse re mained to bless." In everything it succeeded— carried a good India Bill—settled the Jew diffi culty—gave an admirable budget—abolished the property qualification, the first instalment of Reform—obtained the release, not only of the English engineers (with 3,0001. compensation for their sufferings), but also of the crew of the Cag• liari, and the restitution of the ship itself to its owners—and smoothed down the American " dan der" that was rather unduly elevated for certain acts of unquestionable illegality on our part. There are other social, legal, and commercial reforms to which we have at present neither time nor space to allude, which received the Legislative sanction ; and we have an admirable bankzuptcy bill, and an as yet unknown Reform Bill looming in the future. Even the Times has come round, as the following extract from its columns will show. It says— " The next Session will probably be taken up with a new class of questions, and it is possible that the threatened Reform Bill may, after repeated post ponements, be ultimately introduced by the party which is supposed to be united in resistance to organic change. It is at least certain that Lord DERBY'S Government excites alarm only in the minds of those who bold that innovation as well as Conservative tenacity ought to be governed by the principles of its professed adherents. The good understanding between Mr. BRIGHT and the section of the Ministry which is repre sented by Lord STANLEY and Mr. DISRAELI is regarded with little complacency by the country gentlemen on the right of the SPEAKER'S chair, and some of the more timid members of the party already whisper their hopes of finding a future leader in the austerest utilitarian among the here ditary Whigs. If, however, recent experience is to influence the anticipations of the future, it may be conjectured that the Government, after outliving all obvious perils, will fall under some unexpected blow, through the coincidence of temporary causes of unpopularity with an accident as unforeseen as the seizure of the lorcha at Canton or as the abor tive conspiracy at Paris. If the catastrophe were to occur at present Lord DERBY might fairly claim the credit of having formed a Ministry which conducted affairs for several months with tolerable credit and success, notwithstanding the diadvan tage of a nominally hostile majority in the Musa of Commons." Under such circumstances, we may cordially congratulate the country, not only on what has already been accomplished, but on the fair pro mise for the future held forth by Lord DERBY'S Government, who have continued to gain golden opinions from all manner of men, in every dis trict and locality in the United Kingdom. The expression in the Speech from the Royal Commissioners, respecting the future of India, is so apposite, that we cannot refrain from noticing it. They say that her MAJESTY "hopes to be en_ ' abled so to discharge the high functions which she has assumeJ, as, by a just and impartial adminis tration of the law, to secure its advantages alike t) her subjects of every race and creed; and, by promoting their welfare, to establish and strengthen her empire in India." This is fairly carrying out the truly liberal views expressed by Lord STANLEY, which gave universal satisfaction to all parties in the repre sentative branch of the Legislature. We are happy to find that the much-needed tele graphic communication between England and India is at length to become an established fact. A com pany—the directorship of which comprises names of the highest weight and respectability—has been formed for the purpose of carrying out that most desirable object in a manner which affords the fullest warrant of success. The present Govern ment speedily appreciated the importance of tele graphic intercourse with our Eastern empire by the route of the Red Sea, and have guaranteed interest at the rate of 4i per cent. per annum on the capital, payable half-yearly, for the term of fifty years certain. The capital to be raised is not to exceed 800,0001., and if the surplus receipts should exceed the guarantee, one-third is to go to repay any advance of interest made by Government, one-third to be applied towards forming a reserve fund (not exceeding 30,0001.), and the remainder to increase the dividend of the shareholders up to 10 per cent. per annum. If there should be no debt for Go vernment advances, and no deficiency in the re serve fund of 80,0001., the whole profits are to be applied to make up a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. All surplus profits be yond 10 per cent. per annum are to be applied either in reduction of the tariff, the creation of a fund to redeem the guarantee, or otherwise, at the discretion of the Government. The reserve fund and unemployed capital are to be applicable to the maintenance or restoration of the cable, and to make good any deficiency in the receipts to cover the working expenses, should such a con tingency arise, so that the Treasury guarantee of 4i per cent. shall be the minimum rate of divi dend, 5 per cent. of the whole amount of capital raised to be paid forthwith. In default by the company in completing or reinstating the line, or working it efficiently, the Treasury is to take pos ,session,of. the.line on paying to the company the capital paid up, with interest at 4i per cent. per annum from the date of the last dividend. It is, moreover, to be observed than an arrangement has been made with Messrs. NEWALL, the eminent contractors, for submarine telegraphic cables to be immediately laid by them at their own risk, and at a fixed cost, on such terms as will leave a surplus capital of about 300,0001. Such are the most important heads of the arrangement entered into between Government and the Com pany, the full details of which may be gathered by reference to our advertising columns. The line will extend from Alexandria to Kurrachee, near the mouths of the Indus, the portion between the former place and Aden being first to be con structed ; and all doubts hitherto entertained of the feasibility of laying along the bottom of the Red Sea have been completely set at rest by the favourable report of the most competent au thority. The establishment of this valuable national undertaking, whereby we are put in full and secure possession of a telegraphic line of our own, inde pendent of the control of any foreign Government, is a measure which highly redounds to the credit of the present Ministry, so far as they have come forward cheerfully in its support. Its incalculable importance to our relations with India will be de veloped and appreciated before many months elapse, and it is only to be regretted that the late unprogressive holsiers of the reins of power suf feredes aeeintercommunicationt si essential tmucheuour i mper i a l precious between time to be lost in hesi tating on th e p romo ti on o f a p l an so undeniably o the interests as shoresthe telegr aphic e E g ng r a England d c and Hindostan. LATEST NEWS. THE BOMBAY MAIL. THE TAKING OF GWALIOR. (Front tAe Daily News Correspondent.) BOMBAY, JULY 5. I believe it can now be said with truth that the reb.llion of Central India has been effectually put down. Gwalior is re-occupied, and the army of the so-called Peshwa cut down and dispersed with the lose of its guns. A few of the dispirited rem nants may yet rally in the north, at Jeypore, whither Tantia Topea an]. other chiefs appear to have directed their steps, but measures have already been taken to meet them there, by the despatch of a force from Musseerabad, which will have the effect of overawing the disaffected, and .. _ _ preventing the fugitive chiefs from gathering any more of the discontented round them. The news of the fall of Gwalior reached us by electric telegraph on the 20th of June, the very day of the departure of the last mail. The sketch then afforded has gra duall y be en filled, antcan, I believe, give you something like a complete picture of the operations. The two brigades under Sir Hugh Rose having joined each other in advance of Indoonhee, on the 11th of June, marched to camp at Soopoorlee, within ten miles of the Gwalior cantonment of Moorar, on the 15th. The force underiStuart, of the Bombay service, and Colonel Napier, had been brigaded as follows :-Ist Brigade : Brigadier G. S. Stuart, commanding ; Left Wing, 4th Light Dragoons, 3d Hyderabad Cavalry, No. 4 Light Field Battery, 2d Company Royal Engineers, Boni bAy Sappers and Miners, H.M.'s 86th Regiment, 25th Regiment Bombay N.I. ; a siege train, con sisting of two 16-pounders, four 8-inch mortars, and one 8-inch howitzer. 2d Brigade ; Brigadier- General R. Napier, Bengal Engineers, command ing ; Head-quarters and Right Wing, 14th Light Dragoons ; two troops 3d Bombay Light Cavalry ; Ist (or Leslie's) troop of Bombay Hoye Artillery ; No. 18 Light Field Battery ; Madras Sappers and Miners ; Right Wing 71st Highland Light Infan try ; Left Wing 3d Bombay European Regiment ; 4 companies 24th Bombay Native Infantry ; sth Regiment of Hyderabad Infantry ; a siege train, consisting of three 18-pounders, two 10-inch mor tals, and four 8-inch mortars. Moorar, from all I can learn, is to the south-east of Gwalior—that is, in the direct line of march taken by Sir Hugh Rose. From the southward another column, of smaller numbers than that of Sir H. Rose, but comprising Orr's brigade of Hyde rabads and Smyth's force. The 95th, 10th Nati tro vel op n fantry, Ist Bombay Lancers, Hus sars, and Artillery advanced on the 15th from An tree. To the north Dhlpore, on the Chumbul, was held by Riddell's column of 3d Bengal Euro peans, Sikhs, and Artillery. To the eastward all retreat of the enemy was impossible, except across the Jumna. There the rebels bad no choice but to fight out the game, and make at Gwalior a final stand. On the 16th Sir Hugh Rose left Soopoorlee, and surprised the cantonment of Moorar, after a short but decisive action, of which we have as yet but imperfect details. The following letter describes the utter panic of the enemy, and the bold stand of a few fanatics before a detachment of H.M.'s 71st: " The action commenced by the enemy opening tire on us from some six or eight guns; their practice, while it lasted, was sharp and accurate, but did not last long ; the sight of our Horse Artillery dashing to the frunt induced them to send their guns out of the way in double quick time ; and shortly a general retreat was commenced by them. , The Ist Brigade pursued the enemy on the right and the 2d Brigade on their left. The enemy's cavalry bolted clean away almost at the very beginning of the fight ; their infantry were not slow to follow their example, but they were soon overtaken by the Dragoons and Highlanders of the 71st. Two companies of the Highlanders who pursued them at the double came up with about 50 Pandies, who had got into a deep nullah; these fellows Might desperately, but the ?Ist killed every one of them—not, however, without a loss to themselves of;one officer (Lieut. Neave) and four men kale), and five or six men wounded. Some more of their infantry tri , d t J make a stand on the top of a small LH; these also were picked off after one another by the 71st ; and a third party, who tried to escape round the base of the same bill, were pursued and cut up by the 14-h Dragoons. cannot describe what took place on the right ; but I believe that there also the enemy suffered pretty severely. Altogether their loss is estimated at about 300. They did not make any stand at Moorar i:self." An express had already informed Sir Hugh Rose of the approach from the southward of Smythe's brigade, which on the evening of the 16th, ap proached Kotah Keserai, having had some skir mishes with the rebels under the orders of the Ranee of Jhansi, whose force lay in a strong po sition on the hills, four miles west of Gwalior. On the morning of the 17th, Brigadier Smyth engaged the enemy and assailed their entrenched position. I can do no better than let you read the following extract of a letter, describing the action e— " We arrived at Kotah Keserai on the morning of the 17th inst. Here is a small square fort, and a native travellers' . bungalow, from which it de rives its name. I imagine it bears nearly due south of Gwalior about five miles; a river runs past the fort. As we approached this place, we could see the enemy's cavalry and infanty moving about at the bottom of the hills. To ge t to G wa lior from the direction in which we came, you must cross a range or hills. It was at the bottom of these hide that Wd saw Luc) enemy. A company of the 95th and one of the 10th were thrown across the river I mentioned as skirmishers, with some Hus sars as videttes, whilst another company of the 10th and the 95th, with a squadron of Hussars and two guns, Horse Artillery, remained on this side of the river, with the double object of protecting the ford and fort. commanded one company and I the other. About 8 a.m. the squadron of Hussars crowd the river to reconnoitre, and as they ad vanced a battery, which was unperceived by us, opened fire, and the first shot fell right amongst them, killing one horse and wounding a trooper severely. This threw them into confusion, and caused them to retire, which they did without sus taining further injury, though they were fired at several times. About 9 o'clock the order was given for the two guns, Hussars, and some Lancers, with the infantry, to advance, and take possession of the battery and the hills. We did this, the enemy pouring intojus, till they were silenced.by our aras: lery, and the cavalry which charged. As soon as the infantry approached near the hills, we gave such a cheer as evidently frightened the rascals, and charged and took possession of the first range of hills. Instead of allowing us to remain and keep possession of what we bad won, we were ordered to retire, a n d as we came again on the plain, we saw the whole brigade out, but retiring, and we then learnt that the enemy bad made a flank move meut, and were in our camp, and the brigade was re tiring to attack them. The rumour turned out to be incorrect, but unfortunately the evil was done. Immediately on our returning, the enemy re-occu pied the hill s we h a d vacated, and placed their guns so as t o b r i ng us un der a cross-fire. It was whilst we w ere aga i n mov i n g up to the attack that Captain And erson, o f th e Lancers, was wounded, and a few men. After a little time our artillery silenced their guns, our skirmishers took the hills, and the whole brigade advanced further on. You must understand that the range of hills was divided in two by a very large, deep, precipitous, dry nullah. By sunset we had possession of the hills en the right side of the nullah, and the enemy those on the lefr, which we ought to have held in stead of allowing the enemy to do so. A squadron of the Hussars made a splendid chsrge, capturing three Horse A rt ill ery guns and burning their camp. In thi s c h arge t h e H us sats had some offictrs and men kill e d an d woun d e d. Lieut. Riley was wounded, and died th e same evening, not of his wounds, bbt s uns t ro k e. Th e Ranee of Jhausi is credibly reported to have been killed this day : she was shot through th e c l iss t. The Europeans say it was a rifle bullet which settled her, but this is very doubtful, as none of us saw h r, and her body was burnt directly she died. There were two splendid haystacks about three-quarters of a mile from the fort, and at the entrance of a narrow ghaut, which was an important position to keep. A company of the 9oth and one of ours was ordered to hold them. I could not get any rest at the hay picquet, as it was imagined the enemy might make a night attack, with the view of burning the hay, and so I had to keep awake, The next morning I was quite done up. The - het - it - during the day was something fright ful ; no less than eighty men and four officers of the 95th alone were knocked down by the sun— thank God, only one man died, the rest recovered. One of the Hussars died from sunstroke. We had an officer floored for some time, and I was nearly so. After we charged up the hill, I was so done up from the sun, that if I had been attacked, I could have only used my pistol, and not my sword. The force bivouacked for the night on the hills we had taken." Sir H. Rose now determined that the grand attack on the enemy's positions 'should be made from the south-west, and he accordingly marched his division by a circuit of 12 miles to Kotah Keserai, joining Brigadier Smyth on the hills in front of the enemy on the afternoon of the 18th. The Moorar shad been left in charge of a wing of the 3d Boiibay Europeans, and some irregulars and guns. The enemy in front of Brigadier Smyth had been keeping up a cannonade during the whole of the day at long range without doing much mischief, their nearest battery being on an ac clivity on the left side of a nullah in front. On the morning of the 19th, preparations were made for a general reconnaissance. Heavy ord nance:was brought out to the front, and skirmishers lined the hills. It was not Sir Hugh Rose's pur pose to engage that day ; but the enemy forced him to action. At noon it commenced by her Majesty's 86th taking possession of the battery on the left side of the nullab, which was done in gallant style. Then followed the occupation of the whole of the heights to the left by the 86th, the 71st taking those on the right. Between the heights on the left and the lines of Scindia's own army, ;here was a plain about a mile broad. This was fined by cavalry, covered by guns which fired from the walls of the lines. On coming to the edge of the ridge overlooking this plain, the 86th soon drove the cavalry off, having silenced every gun that showed a match. A detached force of the enemy now appeared on the extreme left, and threatened the flank. The skirmishers were, there fore, unable to go into the plain, particularly as they had far outrun their support. A company of the 95th came to the left; and Colonel Lowth, detaching half this company, and one-half of the 86th, sent them to attack the force on the left who now opened from two guns on the 86th. This com pany moved along the heights in beautiful style, and, walking straight up to the guns, captured both at the point of the bayonet. The Ist Lancers (Bombay) coming up, the skirmishes charged into the plain, and the enemy bolted in all directions the cavalry, as usual, going without drawing a sabre. In the cavalry charge the Lancers captured some guns, but they went too far, and got amongst lanes, in one of which Cornet Mills was shot dead through the chest. The enemy plied their guns to the last, until our Artillery was within 300 yards of them — they then ran. The rebels this time were real mu tineers, and their Goltindauzo behaved very well, and served their guns beautifully. The Bombay Artillery no doubt fire well, but it was thought that on this occasion the firing of the enemy was superior. The rebels were some thousand strong, headed by Tantia Topee. They were composed of men of some Bengal regiments and the Gwalior Contingent. The whole of the sth Bengal Cavalry were there. How many they lost there is no knowing, as they burnt the bodies, but no doubt a good round number bit the dust. We took ten guns, all of which at one time belonged to the Bengal army ; they had Horse Artillery guns with " Agra" and other names written on them. By 3 p.m. our men were swarming through the town, shooting down every sepoy they came across. Be fore dark all the troops returned to camp, except the 86th end part of the 10th N. 1., who kept the I town. No time was lost in organising a pursuit. The rebels had fled towards Sheopoor, in the direction of the Chumbul, avoiding the ford of Dholpore, and making for one higher up the stream. Orders were issued to move the 3d Bengal Europeans, some Sikhs, and Artillery across the Chumbul and up the south bank of the river, and thus the enemy were headed in that direction. Brigadier Napier, with a proper forco, started westward towards Sheopoor, and about 30 miles from Gwalior came up with the fugitives, captured 25 guns, and killed numbers of the enemy. In the meanwhile the re-occupation of Gwalior had taken place, and the Maharajah, who had been called in from Agra by Sir Robt. Hamilton, was re instated in great parade, and escorted to his palace by all the regiments remaining with Sir Hugh Rose. During the passage from the camp to the palace the Maharajah was not:a little astonished at a salute of a cannon ball from the Fort, which up to that moment had been believed to be empty. It became evident that the fanatics who still held out there must be reduced, and the mode in which this was done by a detachment of the 25th Bombay N. 1., is one of the most interesting episodes of the Gwalior operations. Lieut. Rose, of the 25th Bom bay N. 1., had been sent early in the morning to occupy the Kotwallee, with a few men. He was joined there by Lieut. Waller, and, says a corres pondent : " He learnt that there were only about 10 or 15 in the fort, and proposed to Waller that we should storm the place, saying that though the risk was great, yet if the e succeeded the honour would be great too. A blacksmith was procured , and the outer gate burst open, during which operation the enemy fired a few shots on the party. The steps of the hill, however, were ascended, and the five remaining gates forced open. The top was gained, and while passing through an archway a gun was fired on the party, but being overlo:.ded, it burst. The party then charged the rebels waom they found there. Lieut,nsant Waller and seven men got on the top of a house close by, and shot the people who had been working tlie guu. Five of the enemy leaned to some trees, and gut behind them. Rose, with half a dozen of the sepoys of the 25th, went after them, and after a desperate hand-to hand conflict, killed them all, losing, however, three men fee-fully wounded. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on these brave fellows. Waller, as soon as be c ou ld, proceeded to help R iees party, but the fight was over before be cool. reach the spot. lie was then told to collect the me '; while Rose walked on to look about him, followed by one man only. Snddenly from behind a wall Rose was fired at, the ball striking him to the right of the spine, and passing through his body. Out then rushed a Bareilly Pathan (who had fired) and pur sued Rose, cuttinr; him acro 1 the right knee, and nearly dividing his right hand. P ise ran back to his party, and then lay down. The Pathan then went into a but, and pre:einly rushed out, sword in hand, flourishing his weapon above his head, and recognising the white face cf Waller, he eared him to come on. When he was about thirty paces from Waller, the latter fired at him with a wounded man's orthket, the fellow gave a scream, •as if hit, which he probably was in the thigh. As he advanced towards the party, he received another shot, which brought him to the ground. Ile is said to have been Rabies allee of Bareilly. "The fort of Gwalior is considered impregnable if properly garrisoned; and I believe has never before been taken, excepting by some stratagem or bribery. Oa the present occ - sion, however, it has been fairly taken-- both defending and aceaulting parties being small, it is true, but nevertheless not unfairly proportioned, as at the utmost only about 20 sepoys of the 25th made the atttack, accompanied by a few of the Kotwal's men. Our loss is Rose and one aepoy killed ; five very badly wounded. Had Rose lived, he would doubtless have received the Victoria Cross—not less desarviu,g is young Waller." Thu following brigade order was issued by Bri gadier Stuart, when he heard of Lieut. Rose's death : "Brigadier Stuart has received with the deepest re gret a report of the death of Lieut. Rose, 25th R. gt• NJ., who was mortally wounded yesterday on entering the fort of Gwalior with hi, men. "The Brigadier f ee l s assure d t h a t th e w h o l e brgade uuite with him him in deploring the early death of this ga!latit officer, whose many sterling qualities none who knew him could fail to appreciate." The prac' lcal results of the military movement have been considerable. In 20 days the Mahara jah lo,t and won bile his capital. On the let of June he fl. l to Agra deposed by a rebel army of 14,000 or 15,000 MCI). On the 20th, he was rein stated with all the pomp required by the circum stance=, and the rebels had been killed or dispersed and deprived of their guns, taken, as may be sup posed, from flit) Maharajah's own arsenal. Sir Hugh Rose deserves a peerage. Unknown in India, he has persuaded those who most doubted his abi lities, that they are of the highest order; unaccus tomed to the fierce heat of the Indian sun, he has braved it successfully, and accomplished great things. He has earned his laurels, and we expect to cee him here shortly and give him a reception wrrm as he deserves. The Central India force is to he broken up, Bligadier Napier will remain in command, I be lieve, at Gwalior. Whilst our successes are thus cheering in that portion of India in which Bombay troops are em ployed, the intelligence which we receive from °tide and Rohilcund is no less gratifying in a poli tical point of view. In the latter province order is perfect ; whilst on its southern border an inci dent of considerable influence on futuro movements has occurred. The celebrated Lucknow Moulon, Ahmed Oolla Shah, whilst on a plundering expedi tion, with 500 horse, against the chief of Powane, was killed, his head cut off and taken into Shah jehaopore on a pole. Other chiefs have also perished in other quarters. You may recollect that movements of large boclie3 of rebels were taking place round Lucknow in the early clays of June, and that insurgents of every grade were described as concentrating themselves at Nawabgunge, Barra Bautie, near the Gogra, south-east of Lucknow. After strengthening Oonao and Poonwa, Sir J. Hope Grant moved to Chinhut with a division of 5,000 men and a siege train, on the 12th of June. On the 13th he advanced against Nawabgunge. On his approach the enemy came out, 18,000 in number, to meet him, bringing heavy guns to their front in the plains and attacking him at once in front, rear, and flank. They were allowed to advance within 200 yards when our guns opened on them with terrific effect. They were repulsed in all directions, 800 or 900 of them killed, and they lost five guns. Sir J. H. Grant then retired to Chinhut, having had but few casualties from the enemy's fire, but many from the effects of the sun. Almost simultaneously with this victory came the news that Lord Canning had issued a new pro clamation to the people of Oude. Its tenor is as follows " The Right Hon. the Governor-General hereby noti- fies, for the information of all those concerned in the present rebellion, hie ultimate views and intentions re garding principals, seconds, and followers engaged in the same, during the past twelve months. "To all parties immediately concerned in the murder of Christian British subjects, no hope of pardon, on ar rest, can be held out ; they must pay the forfeit the laws of this and every civilised country have decreed to a mere brutal and gratuitous slaughter of the unprepared, the defenceless, and tue innocent ; they are out of the pale of humanity, and magnitude of their offence while they live will ever call aloud for retribution. With these the British Government can make no terms. " To all those who have offered asylum to refugees or others, being the murderers of Christian British subject-, and knowing them to have been such, or who have been leading movers against the authority of the British Govern ment, and have persistently acted throughout this rebellio❑ against the constituted paramount power of the land, the Right lion. the Governor-General can offer only terms of life : their punishment will be proportioned to the offences they have committed against the State. All those who shall surrender on or before the 30th day of September next, will have their lives guaranteed to them, after which date, should they still continue in arms, or in opposition to the Government, their several cases shall be summarily dealt with by the authority in whose hands they may chance to fall, whether civil or military. "To all others, second to principals, zemindars, sepoys disbanded, fugitives throughout the country, or any person whatsoever in arms against the Government, nut acting on his own free will and authority, but aid ing and abetting some principal, the Right. Hon. the Governor-General offers at once a general amnesty. Let them return to their homes and pursue their ordinary avocations, using their best endeavours to maintain peace and quiet. Their estates shall be guaranteed, and act of oblivion thrown over the past. Should they, how ever, still continue to bear arms against the Bri ish power, they must bear the consequences of their own acts. The time for clemency will have passed away." Instructions were at the same time sent out to the district magistrates, that all mutineers consenting to come in should be disarmed and allowed to take their departure unmolested. They were to have no promise of immunity, however, lest some amongst them should turn out to have been concerned in the murder of Europeans and Christians. With respect to insurgents not mutineers who might come in and lay down their arms, they were to receive a full pardon on condition of registering their names and places of abode, and of going home and re maining peaceable. The punishment received by the rebels at Naw abunge may induce many men to take advantage of these conditions. In Behar the bands driven out from Jugdespore, by Sir Edward Lugard, have committed great ra vages amongst the indigo factories on both bank, of the Ganges. What is worse, Umma Sing, after being driven out and committing these ravages, has returned to Jugdespore. Rattray, with 500 Sikhs, and Brigadier Douglas, from Buxur, have been sent afresh to put him down. The cutting down of the jungles, at the same time, proceeds actively. At Allahabad Sir Colin Campbell and Lord Canning are now united. In the Doab all is pretty quiet. Tej Sing, of Mynpoorie, who had re-occupied Ajeetmul quite lately, frightened at the arrival of Riddell's column at Dholpore, surrendered, and is now a prisoner. Gunga Sing, the chief of Bab, near Delhi, fled to join the Gwalior rebels. Nana Sahib is still in Oude. Calpee has been occupied by the sth Fusileers from Cawnpore, and Whitlock's column disposed, without a blow, of a chief named Narram Row and his army near Banda, taking many guns and a considerable amount of powder and stores. In the southern Mahratta country all is quiet since the death of the Rajah of Nurgoond, the Jurbeedam of Meetuj and Sangulee having sur rendered between them 400 cart loads of ammuni tion and all their arms. Tin) following has just been received from Government : Sarvica Message from G.F. Edmonstone, Esq., date' Allahabad, June 21, 8.5 p.m. Intelligence has been received from Dholepore of the capture of Ameer Chund Batya, Sciudia's traitoronF trea-urer at Jowra, by a party of -- -. Tantia Topee and the Nawab of Banda as usual quitted Gwalior before the final contest, and are said to be on their way to Subglghur and Jeypore. They have four heavy guns and three horse artillery guns. Brigadier- General Napier is in pursuit. GAZETTE. GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S CAMP, EXTRA. ORDINARY. PIIBLISHED BY AUTHORITY. ALLAHABAD, FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1858. GENERAL ORDER BY THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE GOVERNOR GENERAL OF INDIA. (No. 1,855.) Foreign Department, Allahabad, June 24, 1858. _ The Right Hon the Governor-General has the highest gratification in announcing that . fte town and fort of Gwalior were recovered by Major-Gen. Sir Hugh Rose, on the 19th inst., after a general action, in which the rebels, who had usurped the authority of Maharajah Sciudia, were totally de feated. Oa the 20th June, the Maharajah Scindia, at tended by the Governor-General's Agent for Central India and s'ir Hugh Rose, and escorted by British troops, was restored to the palace of his ancestors, and was welcomed by his subjects with evary mark of loyalty and attachment. It was on the Ist June that the rebels, aided by the treachery of some of Maharajah Scindia's troops, seized the capital of his Lighness's kingdom, and hoped to establish a new government under the Pre tender in his highness's territory. Eighteen days had not elapsed be fore they were comptllcd toevacuate the fort and town of Gwalior, and to re linquish the authority which they had endeavoured to usurp. The promptitude and success with which the strength of the British Government has been put forth for the restoration of its faithful ally to the capital of his territory and the continued pre sence of British troops at Gwalior to support his highness iu the re-establishment of his administra tion, will afford to all a convincing proof that the British Government has the will and the power to befriend those, who, like Maharajah Scindia, do not shrink from their obligations or hesitate to avow their loyalty. The Right Hon. the Governor-General in order to mark his appreciation cf the Maharajah Scindia's friendship, and his gratification at the re-establish ment of his highness's authority in his ancestral donlini(is, is pleased to direct that a royal salute shall be died at every principal station in India. By order of the Right Honourable the Goyernor. General of India. G. F. EDMONSTONE, S€cretary to the Government of India with the Governor-General. THE LATE INIOULVIE. We have aiready mentioned the capture and death of the Moulvie of Lucknow, Ahmoomdulla Shah, and have now letters direct from Shajehan pore confirming the acc3unt and giving us some particulars. On the 15th inst. the Moulvie arrived from Mahoomdee at Powayno, about 16 miles north-east of Shabjehanpore, with a considerable body of cavalry and some guns ; he surrounded the gurree of the rajah of that place, by name Jugger n at h Sing, and first demanded that the Tehsildar and Thannadar, who had taken refuge with the Rajah, should be given upto him ; his request being refused, he commenced his attack upon the place. The Rajah and his two brothers, Buldeo Sing and Komul Sing led out their force to oppose the Moulvie. The fight is said to have lasted nearly three hours. The Moulvie was shot ; the moment he fell his head was cut off by order of Buldeo Sing.—Delhi Ga , zette, July 19.—The Bombay Standard says of this event—" His death and that of the Rance of Jhansi are greater gain to us than half a dozen victories." COMMERCIAL. BOMBAY, JOLT 3. The money market continues in undiminished ease, and there is no new feature to notice. Bank rates of interest are without coange, and the supply of cash seek ing investment is very large. Government securities are neglected, and without an imperial guarantee there seems but little hope of their advancing to a fair value. Fours are 161 per cent,, and Fives 7 per cent. discoont. Joint-stock shares are well supported. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, 2 A. M. The Africa has arrived, bringing 108 passengers and 668,200 dols. in specie. News unimportant. The North Star arrived out on the 20tliult. Later news from Utah state that Gan. Johnston entered Salt Lake City on the 26th June. The Mormons had teen invited to return. Provo was still their head-quarters._ Sterling exchange, 1091 to 110. Stocks rather firm. Provisions generally firm. Flour, low and medium grades, advanced 10c. Wheat advanced Ic. to 2c. on red. Freights firmer, with moderate business. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COITRT OF PROBATE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) THE WILL OF S. A. BUCKLEY. An application was made on the part of the widow of the testator for the usual order as next of kin. It ap peared the testator died on the 31st of May, 1858, and the next day the will was discovered, and was shown to several persons, amongst whom was a justice of the peace, who gave the singular advice that the document was nos valid ; and therefore, acting on that opinion, the will had been destroyed. Since that time, however, various inquiries bad been instituted, and all being not satifactorily arranged, application was made for letters of aiministration as next of kin. Application gra❑ted. THE WILL O S. A. HARRIS. An application for a revocation of motion was made on the 20th of July last, and the case was then ordered to stand over, in order that affi 'avits might be obtained satisfactorily explaining the absence of a Mr. Butler and a witness named Colquhoun. All those directons having been complied with, the motion was now sought for. The learned Judge said, in this case the real will, if he recollected rightly, bad been destroyed, owing to the tlect cf a conversatio a with a gentleman connected with Doctors Commons. The learned counsel informed the Court that every thing had been cleared up. The Judge said he should like to have known by whom however he should not refuse the application. Motion granted accordingly. JEFFREY V. JEFFREY. Mr. Phillinaore made an application to the Court to ascertain in what manner this case should be heard, shether by affidavit or oral evidence. The case wag tmportant as it brought in question the Scotch marriage law. The learned Judge said, as to the question of fact, :bat must be proved by oral evidence, but in this case it appeared it was disputed whether there was any mar riage at all, good or bad, regular or irregular. They had frequently, during trials that had taken place at Carlisle, to require the attendance of certain gentlemen from Gretna Green. (Laughter.) The fact of the marriage could be proved here, and then a commission might go t• Scotland to take the opinion of the authorities there all co the legality of the ceremony. The order he should make at the present time was, that the trial should take place in that Court with oral evidence, A CLAIMANT FOR THE PROPERTY OF THE LATE DIICSES3 OF YORK. A middle-aged man, of rather diminutive proportioni, here stepped forward, and addressing the learned Judge. said he appeared there as a claimant for a portion of the property of the Duchess of York. His name was Frederick Augustus Sears. The learned Judge—This is not the proper plane fot such as application. It has nothing to do with th• distribution of property held in trust. You must go W the Court of Chancery. Applicant.—l am entitled to the property I claim I was well acquainted with the late Duchess of York. The Judge.—You must make your application to the Court of Chancery. We have nothing to do with the iistribution of trusts. I may as well inform yon as you are in court that you must not placard g,entleinto Lloweg; in the event cf your doing so, you will be taken into custody by the police. The applicant, who appeared disappointed with hill lordship's directions, then withdrew. MATRIMONIAL COURT. There were several applications to the court to fix the mode of proceeding, whether oral or by affidavit, none which possessed the slightest interest. The case of Evans v. Evans and Robinson appeared in the list, bat it was merely an application by Mr. Phillimore to the court that a certain order relating to costs, made at chambers, should be rescinded, or revised, by the full court. No decision had been given when our reporter left. THE CLOSE OF THE SESSION. The Imperial Parliament, which will be this day pro• rogued by Royal Commiesion, has been sitting exactly eight months. It was called together hastily on the 3d of December last in consequence of the suspension of the Bank Charter Act. Although the present eession has lasted eight monthly yet, in consequence of the numerous adjournments ri' suiting from the breaking up of the cabinet and other circumstances, the actual number of days on which the two houses have sat is, perhaps, not more than usual. During the whole session, from its commencement in December to its termination to-day, the Lords have sat on 83 days, the average length of each day's sitting acing 2 hours 34 minutes, and the total number of days and hours it has occupied in the actual transaction of business, computed at 12 hours a day, is 17 days 7 hour!' and 10 minutes. The number of divisions taken in the House of Lords during the session has been 19, of which no less than 1 0 were taken in July, showing the enormous amount of business thrown into the last month of the session. The most important division of iheir lordships was that which vas taken en the 14th of May, when the Earl Of Shalteebury's resolution, condemnatory of the present government, was rejected by 167 to 158. This was also the most protracted sitting, their lordships being occupied in debate eight hours and five minutes. The Commons sat on 103 days, the average length of each day's sitting being 8 hours. The hou-ie has been twee' pied iu the actual transaction of business, estimating the business day at 12 hours, 67 days 10.1 bows. Thp total number of 'hours it has sat after midnight is 601. The two most protracted sittings of the Commons w ere to July 8 and 12, on each of which days the house met at 12 o'clock a.m. and did not separate till 2 p.m. the next morning, which, allowing two hours for the suspensio n between 4 and 6, gave a tilting of exactly 12 hours each day. The number of divisions taken during the session Is 172, of which 81 were taken in July. It was counted out twice—once as late as half-past one in the mornings and enether time between eight and nine p.m. Ther e Las ri,t been a single "nu house" for the session. SOUTH .
