Such a restriction of business in this article as has prevailed since the beginning of Out. has not been remembered for many years past, for during this period of a season when generally an amount of transactions is calculated upon, the sales only reached 166,000 bags, against 550,000 in the same time last year. About 16,000 bags were disposed of from the 13th to the 30th November at a decline of 10Ors., but a further reduction of 500 rs. was established between the 4th and 9th Dec., 13,000 having been sold. The im portant intelligence to hand by the Medway would naturally increase the embarrassment already exist ing, and keep business iu further suspension. This paralysed state of the market must tend in a great measure to decrease the supplies henceforward. Of 29,000 bags in all sold since Nov. 13, 12,000 were the United States,' 8,000 for the Channel and north' of Europe, 2,500 for the Mediterranean, and 6,500 for the cape of Good Hope. Nothing was doing in hides, of which there were 3,887 in stock, all of small weight. A great depression in exchange had taken place since Nov. 22, chiefly caused by the almost entire absence of transactions in coffee. The business done for this mail was important, chiefly , tt 264 d., 90 days ; a moderate amount was alto negotiated at 251 d., 26id., 261 d., and 26.1. Tha Bank had drawn a large sum at 264 d.

Yesterday evening a public meeting was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, "to con sider the proposed usurpation by an irresponsible Cabinet of the functions and patronage of the East India Company. The chair was taken by Mr. George Crawshay, late Mayor of Gateshead, and a proprietor of East India stock. There was a large attendance of the public, including several of the working classes, and among them several representatives of the Chartist community. The CnArnauN said that the present meeting was intended by those who had called it to be only the first of a great series of meetings. It there fore became his duty to lay before the meeting what were the views of the gentlemen who, together with himself, had determined upon instituting this national movement. They had a solemn belief that this country was in danger of destruction — (laughter, and cries of " Hear, hear ")—owiug to the delusions which prevailed in the minds of Eng- , lish people. If he could believe that the doctrines put forward at public meetings and in the press were the convictions of the people of England, he could have no hope for England. He would merate a few of the doctrines which had passed current in the press, in drawing-rooms, and clubs during the last six months. It was not long ago since Ministers of State said it was not possible to ascertain the cause of the Indian difficulties, and this apology was accepted by the House of Commons. They knew well that if in their houses their property was broken, they would not be told it was perfectly impossible to ascertain the cause, and yet the Eng lish people were gulled with this nonsense from the Ministers. What could be expected; of such a people Y (Hear, hear.) An assertion had been made in public by Mr. Massey, M.P., that the cause of the revolution was to be attributed to our having tolerated the religion of the Hindoo, and lrn at t .

T Company his was one of the most monstrous proposals ever made. The Government said there was no means of ascertaining the cause, and that the only remedy left was to abolish the East India Company. He remembered having heard a story of an English Minister who declared that if he could not make the English people believe nonsense, he could do I nothing with them, What had the people of Dia! - ( \ S PAP.F land to gain by the abolitioit Company ?

(Cheers and uproar.) The people were told that the Company was to he abolished because there was a double Government, but if the Government proposition were carried, the Company would be abolished, and the whole of the power would be centered in a Secretary of State, or, in fact, ite the Board of Control. Ministers had already too much power in this country—(hear)—and of later years, while reforms were talked about, the power of the Government was daily on the increase, until at length the House of Commons had become the tool of the Prime Minister. (Cries of " Yes, yes," and " No, no.") How bad thus been brought about Why, by centralising power and patronage in the hands of .the Ministry, Did they know that Government patronage was given to the au porters of the Government and to no others. (A Voice— " Gera the Government of India to the people of the. country —the working classes.") (Laughter.) Well, the East India Company had never taken a shilling from the working classes. (Cries of " Oh, oh," and groans.) . Every British soldier who went out to India was paid out of the revenues of the cone try. (A . voiee—" India is quite old enough to go vern itself.") With all the faults of the Company, and they were many, there were men among them who understood the people of India. A great charge against the East India Company was that it desired to respect the religion of the Hindoo ; but if the natives of India were once persuaded that the Government intended to force them to become. Christians; the country could not be hold a mouth. had - been won by our ancestors—by greater and hetfei men than those now living. (Uproar, and cries of "Out of the chair," " We don't want you." and great confusion.) He believed tbat when the justice of the people of England was appealed to a cry would be heard of justice to the people of India. His advice was, rather let India be lost than justice not be done. (Cheers and uproar.) Mr. M. LEWIN then moved the first resolution as follows :—" That the Court of Directors, by sub-_ mittin 0. to the coercion of the English Government, have brought upon India and upon England the disasters and the dangers to which both are now exposed, and that this meeting holds the prevention of the further aggravation of those disasters and dan gers to reside solely in the Court of Directors assert• ing for the future their administrative independence, recurring to the rules laid down by the House of Commons in 1782, and by so doing, obtaining for themselves the support of the people of England." A‘ter asking for a fair hearing, he said it was the duty of the East India Company, having acquired the government of India, not to give it up at the call of the present corrupt Government, having at its back a corrupt House of Commons. That being so, it was for the public to consider whether they could add to the patronage of a cor rupt Government, which had recently introduced into the Cabinet the Marquis of Clanricarde, and he was there in consequence of his belief that to that nobleman the destinies of the country were to be handed over, in consequence of his being the relative of Lord Canning. He said all the disasters that had taken place iu India were owing to the imbecility of Lord Canning. (Hisses,) Major STEWART ROLLAND having explained the resolution at considerable length, strongly cen sured the conduct of the Imperial Government from time to time. He commenced with the war in Affghlnistan, which he stigmatised asa piratical attack upon a friendly prince. The result of that war was a loss of 15,000 men, and 20,000,000 of treasure, all this being done in spite of the protest of the East India directors, who were threatened with a mandamus to coerce them into submission to the orders of the President of the Board of Con trol. That was followed by the Scinde war and the Scinde annexation. Tracing the Government of India down to the present time, he referred to a spurious public opinion that was attempted to be Lreught about, as in that very room, a short time since, Lord Clanricarde stood up and said, " Do away with the East India Compony, and transfer their power to the government of the country." Within 48 hours of that time he was a Minister of the Crewn. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Ricereztees, amid considerable laughter, moved the following, as a rider to the resolution before the meeting : 'That the bill about to be brought into Parliament, as far as its provisions are known, boars a striking analogy to the India Bill brought into Parliament by a coalition in 1753, which George 111. refused to sanction, and dissolved Par liament rather than submit to. That all Govern ments since 1834 have proved the innate depravity of human nature by the centralising and tyrannising _ measures adopted and carried on by them ; and that this India Bill is a counterpart of the same measure, and is identical with those that led to the assassination of Buckingham, the execution of Strafford, Archbishop Laud, and Charles I. ;' and that this meeting declares its firm resolve indivi dually to resist centralisation as England's worst enemy, and a retrograde movement to continental despotism. This amendment haring been seconded, Mr. HENRY MEAD, late editor of the Friend of India, moved a second amendment, as follows : The meeting of that night was a movement in ad vance, as for the first time the representatives of the East India Company were found appealing to public opinion. They were now in the position of a condemned criminal, who was asking, through his friends, a reprieve and respite from his sentence. So the East India Company now came before the public in the position of a criminal who had been tried and sentenced, and who knew that the Pal merston Calcraft was waiting for them. (Laughter a t r h o e s p o o p o i s n i i b o l n e He i i in n u Stead of the this f o a o f u r d in c i m f e e e a r s d e t . m i ) is a moved, desirable ‘ l ' t n o T d o h i b a a t t , a present double government ; also such a reform of our representative system as will ensure an effective parliamentary control of the Indian authorities in parliament." (Cheers.) Mr. ERNEST JONES seconded the amendment. Mr. JOHN FROST then rose to address the meeting He said that if the power was taken out of the hands of the East India Company and put into the bands of the government, it would be to put it into the hands of worse men (great confusion during which Mr. Frost was obliged to retire to his seat.) The CHAIRMAN suggested an adjournment, but Mr. Ernest Jones denounced it, and insisted that the vote should be taken at once, and denounced the adjournment as a trick. Considerable time was consumed in the endeavour to proceed with the discussion, during which Mr. Jones came forward as one of the people to more the adjournment, but without the slightest success.

The Com- ENCOUNTER WITH A HIGHWAY 'ROBBER IN THE EAST RIDING.—On Thu r sd ay n i ght, about eight o'clock, as Mr. George Ciark-on, of Hu gga t e L o d ge, was returning home from Duffield market, he was violently assaulted and attempted to be robbed, by a man knocking him from Lis horse with a bludgeon, and then jumping upon his body, seizing him by the throat, and attempting to strangle him. They had a violent scuffle, but Mr. Clark son having fired four barrels of a revolver at him, the last took effect about the chest or jaw. The man, shortly after the last shot was fired, jumped up and ran away with his clothes on fire, and the remnants of them were afterwards found in the adjoining field. It is believed that the man must have been wounded severely, and also burnt about the chest, neck. head, and hands. He appeared to be about five feet eight inches high, thin in the face, and dressed in a white slop and cap. His cap and a silk neckerchief were left behind, the neckerchief being burnt.—Leeds Mercury. . _ FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—An accident which in volves the loss of four lives occurred at the Clay Cross Collieries, Derbyshire, on Monday morning, by the breaking of a rope. It appears that the men left the pit about 12 o'clock, acid returned about half-past from dinner. They were being let down by fours. About 20 minutes to one, four men, ❑amed Edward Johnson, aged 30 ; James Green, 19 ; Joseph Yardy, 20 ; and Edward Stobes, 17, got on the cage to be let down the pit. The cage was lowered, but it had not gone down ten yards before the wire rope broke, and the four persons were precipitated to the bottom, a distance of 70 yards, and killed on the spot. The bodies were got out of the pit and removed to the New Inn, Clay Cross, to await the coroner's inquest. The wire rope had only be.eson used to a month since it was new. The rope was also to draw up coals. Another works to a man named Robert Kane, who ° hind, Eating out so w Th in an ironstone pit.

Euston Station, December 3d, 1857. By Order. ing the gate of the fort. The frantic rushing, screaming crowd of men and women and children, growing denser as the road grew narrower, became inextricably mixed up with the advancing column of bullock-carts, camels, and horses. Th e an i ma l s themselves seeme d t o catch the panic, and b egan d anc i ng and capering and snorting lin the wildest ma err, How we escaped with our lives, threaded our way th roug h t h e dense and i ntr i ca t e l a by r intb, or escaped b e i ng j ammed together into one great l um p, is a mystery I h ave - not yet been able to so l ve . P er h a ps leer snag pens th e f acu l t i es or romo tes agility. At all events, I am not aware o f any casua l ty p having occurred, and whin a few m oments after e stood upon the ram parts panting an d b reathless, we looke d aroun d i n va i n for a foe, or any portent or prodigy that could necessitate Ero precipitate a retreat. After taking breath and becoming a little cooler, we thoUght, especially as we could hear no good news from the battle field, that it might be prudent to prepare for the worst. Accordingly we made a general sally in the direction of our teats, and packed np a few articles of clothing, such other oeces , aries and valuables as the absence of coolies and other means of conveyance —for all had bolted—left us able to bear into the entrenelament. An order soon after came for all tents to be struck, and as Ocre was no time and no means to take them away or cave their contents, the ropes, of each tent were loosened, and down came the .sup er incutnbent weight, crushing glass and crockery and m i ng li ng them in wild oonfusion with chairs, tables, i n k s t an d s, and the other accompanimentsaccompanimentsof an Indian tent. , . About four e'clook in came our retreating columns. The whole camp, with. its baggage, Bec., was abandoned to the rebels. Why, I have never been able accurately to learn. We had seffered no reverse though we had gained no victory. - Not a dczen men had been hit, nor had our force been driven back. -From all the accounts I have heard it was a battle sui genertis. For four hours had our guns been firing without seeing a foe. That guns were being fired by somebody somewhere was evident, for our men could hear them and even ocoa eionally catch a glimpse of a light cloud of pals smoke wafted on the passing breeze; bat where they were, or who manned them, es whether there was anything be 4ides the Inns, was never demonstrably ascertained. It was a battle in the dark. You t3ok it for granted that you had an enemy, and fired in hope that by some happy chance you might bit him. For four hours this useless expenditure of ammunition lasted when the fatal order to retreat was given. The only explanation of this order I have heard is that an aide-de-camp rode up to General Windham, and beseeched him to return instantly as the entrenchment had fallen into the hands of the rebels, and it is said he set off at once with a storming column to recapture it. At all events nothing was done towards repairing this lament. able blunder. No effort was made to preserve the camp, nor was anything done to prevent the advance of the enemy. Though there is every reason to believe there was abundance of time and means for both, we did not see the enemy, and it is quite possible the enemy did not see us. I believe pickets remained out at the theatre and assembly rooms, otherwise all osr troops were located in the entrenchments. These entrench meats were scarcely fitted and never intended to enclose so large a body of men. They were originally ,cone structed, on Havelock's first coming, to be held by a garrison of about 300 men, though within the last week or two large outworks have been added. The entrench ment is a narrow strip of land ruining along the river's bank, perhaps 200 yards in length and 400 long. Until within the last 10 or 15 days it was by no means a strong style of defence. On the back is the river, close on the left is the canal, whilst in front and on bath sides is ground at least on a level with the floor of the entrench ment, and until very lately abounding in buildings and sheltering number of r e b e l s . V er y happily, t engineering offi cer of great ability carne to superi n t end the works. He wpola or places three foralmost weeks any ago, a new at once saw the defects of the place, and setting at defiance the orders he received, proceeded to strengthen them after his own fashion. He threw up a long breast. work about 200 yards in front of the entrenchment on the top of a deep ravine, and other breastworks to the right and left. Besides this he cleared away a large number of buildings and trees, and a whole native bazaar, so that it is more roomy and stronger than ever. Into this place some 2,000 to 3,000 men retreated. The rebels must have been taken by surprise, and doubt less regarded it ae some piece of profound military strategy. They doubtless looked round them cautiously, approached with trembling and heedful steps our for saken camp, and at length to their joy discovered it abandoned. Then the work of demolition began. Much booty (including one military chest, I believe of the 82d) fell into their hands. They plundered %hat toes could and burnt the rest. Satisfied with their day's success, they allowed us that night to repose in peace. About 12 p.m., a detachment was sent to bring in the entangled 24-pounder. They found the city silent and deserted, and did not encounter the least opposition. Early the next morning our troops were ordered out again. This morning again, but still earlier, the rebels opened fire, and the battle seems to have rkolved itself into two little engagements, neither of which knew how the other was going. Oa the left flank the Rind Brigade distinguished them much. They found capital shelter in an attack upon two guns, 18-pounders which the rebels we re us i ng, and kept up such a smart fire that the rebels fled and th e two guns were soon captured and b roug ht in i n t r i ump h . Soon after this the rebels fled, aid our left flank was •empletely triumphant. About four o'clock just as the successful left wing, flushed with success, were quickly retreating into the entrenchment, an aide-de-camp rode up saying the generaldesired, if possible, to have instant reinforcements on th e r i ght. An hour elapsed b e f ore they were sent, an d I b elieve the right wing was already on the retreat. I t h ad met with a reverse. Early i n the morning th e 6 4th were opposed to a four-gun battery of the enemies. A very rash and ill-manage d attempt was m a d e to storm it. About 150 men o f that regiment, h ea d ed by Brigadier Wilson, Br i ga di er Major Murphy, and Major Stirling, made a most brave but p rec i p i tate assault upon them. They had to rush up a r i s i ng ground of about 400 yards in extent and reached th e guns panting and tired. But they did charged, andhav ing was shot n o h support reach them a n d succeeded in spiking three. They were however im me di ately overpowered. Four files of infantry hitherto con cea l ed by the nature of the ground, now appeared in vi ew . They opened fire and their cava l ry rged, oar r m Wilson n to retreat in con f usion. The slaughter of our men was great. Bad the left chest , and was b rought home, to die in a few minutes. Brigadier-M a j or Murphy and Major Stirling were likewise killed, with t wo other officers w hose bodies have not yet through,were obliged been recovered, and about 50 or 60 men were also killed or wounded. This defeat was never repaired. It is positively stated that with a sup port of 200 men the guns must have bee n captured and retained. But whilst none can deny the valour and spirit with which the charge was made, none can deny that there was an utter lack of judgment and of skill. After this reverse the right wing never reoovered itself. A vain and futile firing was kept up for some hours, and towards evening our troops retired i nto the entrenchment. The assembly rooms, a large building capable of being held by a few men against a very superior force, and which was filled with officers and soldiers' kite and many other valuables; the theatre, another large strong building just opposite, and both within 300 or 400 y ards of the entrenchment , and within 200 y ar d s of our advanced works, were both abandoned to the rebels, and the whole city and its out skirts left in their hands ! The loss of property has been immense. The few houses that had escaped the previous desolation have been burnt. A few merchants and others ' who had recommenced business, and were scattered throughout the suburbs, had their property plundred and destroyed, and 3000 European troops were ignomi ui )usly forced to retreat into a small entrenchment by a body of a few thousand rebels, not half the strength of those who were dri ven helter-siselier out of Cawnpore by General Havelock a few months ag o , with only half the number of our tro o p s 1 That this result has arisen from the grossest incompetency and mismanagement cannot be disputed, and I have only heard one universal outcry of indignation and regret at the generalship, or rather want of generalship, which has produced this serious disaster. About 4 o'clock the Commander-in-Chief, who was expected from Lucknow, came in, accompanied by a small guard, having ridden a few miles in advance of his column, and the remainder of his force was seen in the distance. But the r ebels were a l rea d y a d vanc i ng , and the Commander-in-Chief had scarcely crossed the bridge of boats when acouple of shots, fired at the bridge, fell into the river. They did no harm, and fell wide of their object. We now hoped our troubles would soon he over, all confidence in our military bead was gone, and with the additional force from Luoknow, numbering 4,000 or 5,000 strong, and splendidly equipped with horse artil lery and cavalry, we thought surely some decisive blow would be at once struck. In this we were disappointed, and, perhaps, properly so. Sunday morning arrived, and the enemy had advanced still nearer the entrench ments, and at an early hour began to pour forth their grape and shot and shell. We heard them flying over our heads in showers, but they did very little harm, most of them going right over the entrenchment and falling in the river. Our guns soon opened upon them, and they retired for the moment to t ry another position, and in this way the day passed. The rebels opened fire, we answered, and they retreated to open fire soon after wards in another place. Oar casualties were few ; one or two shots and much grape and much musket balls fell into the entrenchment, but did little harm—one officer of the 82d was shot in the neck and killed at his tent door, two or three men were shot about the ram parts, and a ball passed through a couple of bullocks and a horse. This includes a bout the whole of our casualties, and we have to thank the cowardice and unskilfulness of the enemy that our loss was not much more serious ; for the entrenchment was crowded —guns, gun-carriages, bullocks, camels, t en ts, hospitals, an d men, filled almost every inch of t he ground—and not a shot could fail • All this time Sir Colin Campbell proving effective. was getting over his immense n o f baggage, and ladies, and children, a train not less than 15 mil es l ong. Much surprise has been expressed at his delay in attaoking the rebels. His whole camp could have remained in safety on the other side of the river, guarded by 1,000 men, still leaving a force more than trebly sufficient to smash the rebels. His policy, however, appears to be a cautious one. Many think injuriously so ; and, certainly, unless he completely d es troys the rebels and t a k es all theirguns, the delay will be v ery injur ious . It de s t roys the prest i ge of our arms, shakes the confidence of our f r i en d s , an d lee lens the fears of the enemy lJits object, however, appears "o have been—first, to secure the perfect safety of the ladies nd children, and second, to wait for reinforcements which were coming up from Allahabad. But surely, if an army like his, with its numerous and; powerful batteries, its cavalry, and men numbering not less than 7;000 to 8,000, cannot grapple with and overcome a ebel force of not 6,000 sepoys and 6,000 rabble, we had better leave India at once, and the Roemer the better. But it is premature to sit in judgment upon his move ments. Much evil has resulted from this delay, and nothing but a very signal and decisive blow can justify it. December 4th. Actually eight days has now elapsed since the contest began, and we are still penned up in the fort, fired at, and shelled daily. Large reinforcements have arrived, and now we must have a force as numerous as the enemy, and vastly superior to them in every respect: Last night the ladies and children started for Allahabad, a large number of wounded were sent to the same place. Still here we are, and what is to be done ? non when is it to be doge? Nobody knows. But all think the at tack upon the rebels cannot be delayed beyond to morrow. For five dap (this will be the sixth), have we been pounded by the enemy, and all this time have been acting simply on the defensive. The ladies peel children were taken to the ground near Wheeler'e old entrenchment, to which place the road is well protected and no shots could reach them. Moreover, it is just on the Allahaba d road. The tactics of the enemy are really very droll, and quite a burlesque upon the art of war. He has his head quarters near at a large tank two or three miles off; but here he retreats at night, and hence sallies out in the morning, merely leaving pickets all round, who shoot all night at anything they can see or fancy they see within our lines. At dawn he gets up shivering in the cold ;. wraps his gat manta around him, and sits smoking his hookha until the sun rises and thaws his frozen blood into circulation. By teu o'clock he begins to feel comfortable, and thinka it time to pre pare his dinner, which accordingly every man does for himself. By half-past eleven, he has finished cooking and eating, had another smoke, and the consciousness begiogs to dawn upon biro, that he is engaged in a most important battle. He now begins to look after hie cannon, which he has posted in different commanding spots, and forth he goes. With great labour he charges his piece, and having primed it all ready to fire, he drags it from its his hiding-place very secretly, keeping under cover all the time, and points at or rather over our en trenchments. He applies the match, and bang goes the gun. Away our hero scampers trying to drag after him the cannon into its original obscurity, from which he probably, for the moment, feels it extremely rash on his part ever to drag it, and probably resolving, if he survives this time, he will never be guilty of a similar piece of folly. Unfortunately for our hero, his gun can not be let off without flashing. That flash followed by the smoke is the indication of its position, and before he can find his hiding-place, half-a-dozen heavy guns send their shots flying and bursting about him, and if he survives ha perhaps think! it best at once to retreat to his distantcatup, and take his gun with him before both are destroyed. Ia this way I assure you, gun after gun is silenced. Firing just one round, and being silent the rest of the day and night, to go through the same course the succeeding day. But perhaps our champion is more fortunate. He hits upon some splendid hiding-places for a few guns, where he can fire without being seen. There he will keep at it for half-an-hour at a time, bat tke exertion is too much for him, and after a couple of hours (irregular and desultory firing) he returns to his camp to prepare for a comfortable evening. This is the childish contemptible enemy who has been allowed to seize our camp, to plunder cur property and houses, lay waste the city, and drive us into this miserable entrench ment. The post is just leaving and I must close. I feel hopeful that, with the divine blessing, all will be quiet after a few days. I believe Sir Colin Campbell's policy is to surround and destroy them, if possible to a man. NOTICE OF DIVIDEND. BANK OF DEPOSIT, No. 3, PALL-MALL EAST, LONDON. Established A.D. 1844.

The following has been addressed to the Editors of the Freeman by a gentleman named Gregson : Cawnpore, Tuesday, Dec. Ist, 1857. The changes that have passed over us the last fsw days have been startling and disastrous, and had any one predicted, a few weeks ago, the straits to which we are now reduced, he would have been laughed at as an idiot. It is now nearly a month since Sir C. Campbell left this place for Lucknow. The Delhi column, after foreed marches, reached Cawnpore the 26th of last month, and was delayed here nearly a week, the Commander-in- Chief waiting for reinforcements from Allahabad, more especially of the Naval Brigade, that he might go to Lucknow strong enough to strike a swift and decisive blow. On the 6th of meet mouth, the I set of these rein forcements having arrived, Sir Colin Campbell left OP, leaving only about 300 men to protect Cawnpore. This, however, awakened no solicitude as troops were daily arriving, and there was little doubt of our being strongly reinforced before any fue could arrive to menace our position. At that time, indeed, it was not thought pro bable that any enemy would venture to attack us. The only enemy to be feared was the Gwalior Contingent, and its movements were closely watched. It was not strong in men, but very formidable in artillery. It originally consisted of about 7,000 men. Part of these had remained stedfast, and many others had deserted, so that the remnant could not consist of more then 4,000 or 5,000 men. But they had a most formidable park of artillery, comprising not less than 40 pieces of ordnance. Of these three were 8-inch howitzers, four 18-pounder iron guns, 20 light field pieces, 6,9, and 12-pounders, and the remainder mortars, 10, 8, and se-incb. Their magaziue was something prodigious, and their entire train of garis (1. c. carts), bullocks, and beasts of burden might have sufficed for an ordinary army of 50,000 men. About the time of Sir Colin Campbell's departure from Cawnpore these troops were on the move, and a few days afterwards intelligence arrived that they had reached Kalpee, distant about fifty-five miles from this place. Here they remained some time. About ten days ago it was reported they were coming upon Cawnpore, and that one of the three divisions into which they separated was on the march. This division was said to be about 2,000 strong, and to have ten guns Early last week it approached within ten miles of us on the Kalpee road. Iu the meantime General Windham having received very considerable reinforcements, went out on the Kalpee road and pitched his camp there, and the troops which were daily arriving from Calcutta were immediately sent on to strengthen him, until by last Monday, the 23d Nov., he had a force of about 2,100 men. On Wednesday the advanced pickets of the two armies were within sight of each other, and the general determined on attacking the rebels the following morn ing. Accordingly, on Thursday morning, the 26th NOV., he marched against them with complete success. Carried their advanced position, capturing two 8-inch howitzers and one light field piece, and completely routed the enemy Their position was only about ten miles from here, and after chasing them some little distance he ordered a retreat. He was urged to advance one mile further, when it was alleged there was an almost perfect certainty of coming upon their camp, capturing the remainder of their guns and all their baggage. This he would not do, and here, it is said, was his first serious mistake. It was yet early in the day—his men had had some days' rest, and had only marched a few miles and fought an easily won battle-- hits loss had not reached sixty killed and wounded, and the panic among the rebels from the capture of their finest pieces and the defeat of their comrades was seen to be great. But no, he would at once retreat. It is true intelligence had been received that Cawnpore was threatened on another side by some 2,000 rebels, chiefly the rabble from Banda, who were defeated and lost their guns a few weeks ago near Futtebpore. B u t th e s e m en were without gnus, were mostly an undisciplined mob, barely furnished with muskets or ammunition, and com pletely demoralised by repeated defeats. Yet from fear, it is said, of these men, he retreated, to take up his position in another place, where he could protect Cawn pore from both the rebel forces. The rebels took advantage of his retreat, followed him quite home, and that night encamped within four miles of Cawnpore. It would also seem that daring the night or very early in the morning the two rebel forces united, and possibly were strengthened by the arrival of the second division of the Gwalior force. The following morning, Friday, just after the 12 o'clock gun had fired, I the rebels commenced the attack. Two 24-pounders, manned by the Naval Brigade, were ordered forward, and advanced far in front of the infantry. Jack had no sooner opened fire than be found himself exposed to a galling cannonade from no less than four different quar ters, from his right and left flanks, his front, and again between his front and right flank. This was more than Jack bargained for, and to add to his misfortunes, the bullocks galloped off with one of his ammunition tuns-1 bribe and so he thought it quite time to scamper off, which accordingly lie did. His guns were thus for the moment abandoned, but fortunately soon after regained. However, to prevent a repetition of so dire a disaster, the guns were instantly ordered home, and we have taken very great care of theca ever since by not suffering them to leave the entrenchment. Jack's troubles, however, were not yet over. In dragging them home through the city one stuck fast in the bed of a little stream, and baffled fur the time all Jack's exertions to release it, and the unfortunate 24-pounder, after being spiked, was left in the city entangled in the mud and exposed to the mercy of the rebels. The sight of our retreating guns appears to have spread tismay throughout the city, and caused a panic ' throughout the camp outside the entrenchments. About half-past two the cry was raised " The rebels are here," and every one made for the entrenchment. The scene • of confusion that ensued baffles description. A. long baggage train belonging to the Rifle Brigade, some 850 s trong, which had that morning arrived, was just enter. TER BRAZILIAN AND RIVER PLATE MAILS. The Royal Mail Company's steamship Medway, Capt. John Hammack, arrived at Southampton yesterday morning with the above-named mails, in charge of Lieut. Cart wright, R. N., Admiralty agent. Her dates are—Buenos Ayres, 2d Dec. ; Monte 'Video, sth ; Rio de Janeiro, 16th ; Babia, 21st ; Pernambuco, 24th • S. Vincent (Cape Verd), 3d Jan. ; Teneriffe, 9th ; Funchal (Madeira), 11th ; Lisbon, 15th. She landed 20 passengers at Lisbon, and brings 77 to Southampton, among whom are his Excel lency Mr. Trousdall (American Minister at Rio) and son ; Assistant-Surgeon M'Clure, R.N., Capt. Short=s, Second Master Trewin, 8 lieutenants of the Brazilian Imperial Navy, wbo have come to Eng land to take charge of gunboats ; Mr. George Furness and party, &c. On freight the Medway has 100 barrels of tapioca, 150 rolls of tobacco, 75 bags of cochineal, diamonds value 9,3001., and the folio wing amounts of specie :—From Monte Video, 5801. ; Buenos Ayres, 390/. ; Rio Janeiro, 96,8001.; Bahia, 23, 7001. ; Pernambuco, 16,3221.; oth er po r t s , 2,B4o—Total, 140,632/. There is very little political news of importance from Buenos Ayres by this arrival. His Excellency the Governor was making a personal inspection of the country districts, which had met with general approbation, and was looked upon as an augury of good. To the south the frontier question presented a more cheering aspect. Our correspondent, in his letter of the 2d ult., says— " Th e only point of some consequence, and which, perhaps, merits more attention than it apparentlyreceives from our statesmen, are the diplomatic ongoings at the Parana. It is known that the Brazilian Envoy is in confidential confab with the President of the Confederate Provinces. The immediate objeot, of course, is the rumoured war with Paraguay ; b u t th e conc illion of General Urquiza's alliance will as certainly be a definitive settlement of the question of Ar gentine nationality ; and, if that is to be settled by the armed mediation or intervention of Brazil, it is one of the worst modes I can imagine, and may involve 113 all, with foreign commercial interests in the first line, in a deplorable conflict. I trust Mr. Christie and the other foreign diplomatists will see the matter in its true light, and exert their influence in preventing (inch a catastrophe. " The impending war will be a heavy blow to commer cial interests in the meantime, with slender guarantees of ultimate benefit to any one. "Li connection with this, I may mention a sinister rumour, tantamount, if true—which I half suspect—to a commencement of hostilities. A. passenger who arrived here on Saturday last from Bare Rios affirms that on the 24th ult, a special courier had come from San Borja bringing intelligence that on the 22d a Paraguayan force of 800 men bad taken up a military position in front of the said city. This ferce must have proceeded from Itapna, and in its transit crossed the Argentine Misiones, thus invading Brazil, and at the same time invading the territory of the presumed ally. "I can neither explain nor comprehend the apparent apathy of the commercial community in a matter that so nearly concerns it. "The January mail must take important intelligence, if aught from South America can be supposed interest ing to yon while the life and death struggle in India lasts. I can assure you that our sympathy in your favour is as ardent and sincere as in any dependency of the British Crown, and I venture to say that in due course something handsome will be done on behalf of the widows and orphans of those tliat fall in so unequal and glorious a strife. " Private correspondence from the north announces another intended irruption of Indians, headed by the formidable Cristo, in the direction of Pergamino " The conferences at the Parana have been brought to a close, and the Imperial Envoy must be in good btu:tour, for he gave a splendid official banquet before starting for the Ascension. The result of the coofere. ces has not transpired. As an indication that something is in the wind some 70 half-pay officers have received orders to prepare for active service, and be ready to march against the 15th inst. It may be for the frontier against the Indians, which is the only kind of war that would be justifiable in our circumstances. " Our revenues continue progressing in a very satisfac tory manner, but unhappily the demands of the public service also increase, and in consequence the Govern ment has announced the sale of 4,000,000 of public funds that stood over from last year. "The later news of Dr. Alsina report his arrival at the Azel, whence he has applied to the Permanent Com mission requesting a prorogation of his leave of absence, which was sanctioned last night. He seems intent on putting things to rights on the frontier, in which I hope he will be successful." " Dec. 3, 1857.—When closing my correspondence yesterday I learnt that Mr. Christie had arrived on the previous evening, and that the sailing of the Camilla was delayed by his order to this day. Beyond the fact of his presence I am not aware that anything of general inte rest has transpired, unless it be a confirmation of the complete triumph of the new Fusionist party in Monte Video, and pretty clear indications of an approaching expedition against the Indians." The British Packet of Nov. 28, says : "The last Southampton mail brought a protest of General Roses against the law sanctioning the confisca tion and vale of his property. In other circumstances it 'might have created a sensation ; for the present it is a dead letter, and can have no influence on commercial prospects. Meanwhile it is proper that intending pur chasers should be aware of the existence of such a docu ment, and all must allow that the Government has acted with becoming dignity in giving it p ublicit y . Commercial affairs at Buenos Ayres were dull and flak. The news taken by the last packet from Southampton produced a perfect revulsion in:the produce markets with falling prices, and several mercantile failures. In manufactured goods the wholesale transactions during November were very inconsiderable. Stocks were large of articles for daily consumption. At Monte Video the elections went off quietly, and th e Government, or Fusionist party, had gained-' ~, Manuel undisputed triumph. Brigadier Don Oribe was dead.
