Now, however, attention is directed to a danger which is thought to he threatening us from another quarter. On the 2d inst. a screw steamer, the Pac tolus, arrived here with a large number of deck pas sengers, chiefly Jews from Tangier-, on their way to the Holy Land. The steamer touched at Malta as usual, and when near Alexandria one of the crew was suddenly taken ill and died. The body, on ar rival of the vessel, w-c examined by a committee of medical officers, who pronounced that it presented unmistakeable symptoms of death having been caused by plague. The master of the steamer, on the other hand, urged that no case of plague is known to have occurred at Malta ; that the death of the man had in reality been caused by some species of epileptic fit to which he was subject, and from an attack of which he had suffered even at the moment of leaving England ; but all tl" , a; :- no a..--"- - "I commu nication with the steamer wa .3.-... rohibited, and she was forthwith put in strict qui.a...ine. The news spread through the town with incon ceivable speed, and, although 14 years have now elapsed since Egypt was visited with the plague, such is the dread with which its ravages are still re membered that the most intense alarm and dismay took immediate possession of almost the entire popu lation. But few dissentient voices were therefore raised when, on- the arrival of the Colombo on the following morning with the outward India and China mails and passengers, a quarantine of 36 hours was laid upon her as a temporary measure, until a final decision should be come t o . I n the afternoon a meet ing was called of the Sanitary Committee, attended by the usual consular delegates, at which it was de cided that all vessels from Malta should be subjected to a quarantine of ten days. From this rule no ex ception was made in favour of the Colombo, and a most serious detention of the India mails and pas. sengers seemed at first sight unavoidable. The matter was referred to the Viceroy, who has always been uncompromisingly opposed to quaran tine and lazare'tos, and his private sentiments on the subject are well known ; but he refused to interfere with the decision of the Sanitary Com mittee. A remedy, however, was finally hit upon by Nubar Bey, the director of the Transit Administra tion, and it was decided that the passengers and cargo should be conveyed across by an express train, to be kept throughout the journey in a state of strict in sulation. This plan was accordingly carried into execution, and the Indian passengers, doubtless to their great relief, left for Suez yesterday afternoon. I have entered at some length into the details of this matter, because it points to a possible source of serious delay and inconvenience to the Indian transit, which during latter years at least had well nigh been completely lost sight of. In the present case, however, the grounds for so extreme a measure as that at first resolved upon seem so slight that the decision of the Egyptian authorities may well excite surprise. had there been any authenticated case of plague at Malta, it might have been necessary to submit without re mark, but the reverse is known to be the case, and this with a notoriously vigilant health department at the port upon which suspicion is sought to be cast. The health of the crew and of the 230 pas sengers on board the Pactolus, however, continues good, and, notwithstanding the strong'probability that the whole fabric will ultimately be found based upon an erroneous opinion concerning the cause of a death at sea, a measure is decided upon which must necessarily cause serious inconvenience and injury both to the transit and to the general trade of the country.

It must not be forgotten that the advance of the Centr )1 India Field Force formed part of a large combination, and was rendered possible by the movement of Major-Gene ral Roberts, of the Bombay Army, into Raj pootana, on the one side, and of Major-General Whitlock, of the Madras Army, on the other, and by the support they respectively gave to Major-General Sir Hugh Rose as he moved on wards in obedience to his instructions. " 6. The two major-generals have well sustained the honour of their presidencies. " 7. The siege of Kotah and the action of Banda take rank among the best achievements of the war. " 8. The Commander-in-Chief offers his best thanks to Major-General Roberts, to Major-General Whitlock, and the various corps under their command. He is happy in welcoming them to the Presidency of Bengal. " By order of bis Excellency the Commander-in- Chief. populace were most friendly, the troops with supplying with provisions freely. The progress towards opening negotiations seems to be very slow, and consideratable doubt, as far as we can learn, exists whether it will not be necessary to advance nearer to Pekin before the Chinese sub mit to treat. It is still confidently hoped that amic able arrangements will be come to. Two Chinese of high rank had arrived at Tien-sin from Pekin, and a meeting took place between them and the Ambassadors of the allied Powers. This oc curred on the 4th inst. We learn, however, that on the exchange of " powers" those of the Chinese were not considered sufficient, and the conference did not proceed. Reference was again to be made to Pekin, and at the last there was a report that another con ference was appointed, but much uncertainty pre vailed as to whether the Chinese would be able to present the powers required by the Ambassadors. Orders had previously reached this for reinforce ments to be kept in readiness in case later advises should render it necessary to send them to the North. This morning three steamers have left for the Peiho —her Majesty's steamer Retribution, lately arrived from the Pacific, her Majesty's steamer Fury, and the transport steamer Adventure.

We have recovered all the fortresses, one after another, which the mutineers had dared to seize as points which they had hoped to make so many centres of regular operations ; and, as our forces cannot be everywhere at once, the muti neers have successively fallen upon a few strongholds from which they had been already driven on former, occasions, but which they were enabled to re-enter, simply because we had stripped them of their garri sons in order to have men in the field.

" B ut, meanwhile, it is indispensable that measures be taken to restore order in the Benares division, the districts of Behar and Goruckpore, and the whole of that Tegion, which is swarming with banditti. Ladies are now forbidden to pass beyond Benares. We have, at this moment, letters before us which describe the deplorable state of chaos into which tho: le divisions have fallen. The tbannah of Bikzum in Patna, of Jehana in. Behar, and of Rug ho anauthpore in Sarun, have been burnt. At Gya the ; jail was attacked, and the prisoners were re le.ased to swell the roving banditti of murderers, who mutilate and slay every individual they can catch 'mho has given proofs of fidelity to England. Mea sures are being taken to reinforce the police and the detachments of the naval brigade ; and, no doubt, after wreaking a vast amount of mischief and cruelty, the dacoits will hurry away to join the still undis persed and larger musters of rebels in Oude. Mean while at Jugdespbre parties of, troops are still busy cutting down or through the jungle—fighting and clearing alternately. " At an earlier date, on the t2th ult., Sir Hope Grant set out from Lucknow with 5,000 men, 2,000 of whom were cavalry, to attack the Begum, at the head of 20,000 ‘rebels, at Nawabgunge. They fore stalled him, and attacking him on every side, were thoroughly beaten, with a loss of nearly 1,000 men and seven guns. They fled back to Nawabgunge. On the 15th, Juggernaut Singh, Rajah of Powayne, an ally of ours, was attacked by the Moulvie of Lucknow, .Ahmoor-dullah Shah, about sixteen miles to the north-east of Sbahjehanpore, with a large force of cavalry and some guns. The fight lasted three hours, and the Moulvie was shot, and his head was then severed from his body, our ally gaining a complete victory. " Again, at Nawabgunge, another combat of a rather sanguinary kind took place on the 20th, in which we took seven guns, and killed many of the rebels. ly, 91. et, ;e NEW GOLD DISCOVERIES.

" The general result of this incessant game of hide and-seek is, however, more and more salient and per ceptible as the struggle continues ; and we may now say with strict exactness that, in the first place, the rebels no longer retain a single position in all India which they could make even a show of defending in the presence of any of our moveable columns ; and, in the second place, the points which they hold, as it were, provisionally, and in our necessary absence from any given locality (evacuated by us in order to ' operate elsewhere) are places of inferior importance, as.well -as visibly reduced in number. In short, we have, in this sense, obtainefl at last a complete mas tery of the rebellion, that we occupy actually nearly all the strong places throughout India, nearly all the military centres and strategic points, and that there is not one such spot left which we cannot take at plea sure.

It is to be regretted, however, the season is so far advanced, and this may occasion a suspension of action for the present. At Canton matters are as unsatisfactory as possi ble. The small results from the late expecWion against the " braves" have emboldened them very much, and several acts of atrocity have been com mitted by the Chinese against foreigners, both civil and military, in Canton and the neighbourhood. 'We hear through an official source that it is the in tention of the Chinese Government to get as many foreigners' heads as they can, and it is thought not improbable that when Lord Elgin hears the state of things which exists the blockade of the river will be again put on. We have received a copy of a proclamation issued by the newly appointed Viceroy, Hwang, but it is too late to get a translation of it. Hwang, it is under stood, calls upon the Cantonese to use every effort to retake the city. A meeting of foreigners has been held at Canton to take into consideration the best means of protect ing themselves in case . of attack. Three chops of the new tea had arrived, but all was second-class tea • 25 to 27 taels talked of. A s to the prospects of the supply of tea for the season, it is too early to form any opinion that can be de pended upon, but the following particulars may be worth consideration. The supply of tea at Canton for the ensuing season it was expected would be about 400 to 500 chops. Owing to the imposts and the pre sence of the rebels in many of the districts through which the teas have to pass, the quantity to be sent to Shanghai would be limited. The crop of tea, on the whole, it was anticipated, would not be larger than last year's, and there is little or no old stock to work upon. Deducting the old teas gone forward this year, the exports would barely reach 60 millions of pounds. METROPOLITAN COUNTIES LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, 27, Regent-street, Waterloo-place, London, S.W.

A short interval of economy, the ample resources of his revenue, and the absence of any ex pensive public work (the Suez Railway being already provided for) will doubtless enable him to do this, and it is, perhaps, the best course he could adopt ; but it were well that at the same time a more provi dent and orderly system were introduced into the administration of the financial affairs of the Govern ment. ble ive ne ile, or- The report of the capture of Ningpo by the insur gents has not been confirmed.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTILE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its colebi:ty is world-wide. It hss been a subject of wonder, and has puzzl' 1 many a brain to explain how tbi, hne been brought abou, Yet when we are acquainted with a low Idets concerning the lo•id, or • wonder willcease. A few drys since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tri 1 all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. Ile then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect Wit 3 wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, aad in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. finch facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own in trinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed a'one from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it.

It is no longer a war, it is a bloody and cruel hunt, in which the hunted wreak all the atrocities of their despair upon the villages and districts through which they fly. " The sepoys began with audaciously high aims. They would, at this moment, be less out of heart, had they not tried an ambitious game ; had they, from the outset, contented themselves with that sys tem of flight, plunder, and assassination into which their operations have sunk at last. But they would hold Delhi, they would rebuild the Mogul Empire, they would issue proclamations, they would ape a regular Government and a regular army, they would invite their followers and well-wishers to judge them by the open stand they attempted against all the power of England, and by their success in de fending the seats of ancient indigenous authority in which they had collected their strength. These scenes, bearing names to conjure with' in the native imagination, and venerable to Hindoo or Mussulman by a thousand traditions of eastern grandeur, have been wrenched from the grasp of the rebels by the most inadequate numerical forces, and this in the face of all India, which was, as it were, bidden to the spectacle, and anxiously watched the result of the open challenge. The ideas of an equal conflict are dispelled for ever ; the very prophecies circu lated so industriously among a superstitious and grovelling population, the appeal; made to the books they were taught to revere, announcing the close of' our dominion as the decree of destiny reserved for fulfilment at this exact epoch, all have contri buted to deepen the shock which their secret expec tations have sustained ; and what was undertaken with the undisguised profession of the wildest hopes is now persevered in from the dictates of equally undisguised despair. " The rebels themselves feel the rebellion, in all its original purposes, to be a grand failure. And if we add, the death of nearly all the leaders who first duped them into their career of infructuous and un availing crimes, we can realise the despondency which has succeeded to sanguineness. " But, if all this be true in a military sense, it is not less true that the thorough unmanning and dis couragement of the enemy is highly unfavourable to our cause,' and renders the pacification and re settlement of the country the more difficult. " So complete are the disruption and demoralisation of the ex-armies of the sepoys, that, with the excep tion of Oude, and of that large force which Sir Hugh Rose has been driving headlong before him for more than forty days, over many hundred miles of country, those armies make no longer the least pretence to their recent character, and have broken up into robber gangs, with whom murder, not battle, is a possibility; and the plunder of isolated than nabs and zemindaries, not the seizure of great fast nesses, the only remaining ambition. To follow all these gangs in detail through their devious maraud ings would necessitate such a sub-division of our forces as their numbers would render highly impru dent. In our last overland summary we described the career of the last sepoy army deserving the name, which still affected to keep the field, after Sir Hugh Rose had beaten it out of Calpee, and sent it, denuded of artillery, broken, although desperate, and abandoning its wounded along the track of its flight to Gwalior. There, it had to deal with only our native allies, the troops of Scindiab, two-thirds of whom behaved like cowards or traitors, and left their Maharajah in the midst of an engagement. We then expressed a hope that, flushed with this temporary success so soon after their overthrow, the rebels might be infatuated enough to wait for Sir Hugh Rose, and give him battle again. " Our hopes have been realised. On the 19th of Tune Sir Hugh Rose dated from the Palace of Gwa lior a new despatch announcing a decisive victory after five hours' fighting. Our overland summaries have been lately filled with the name of this most capable and strenuous soldier ; and we trust that the gratitude of his country, never slow to pick out merits so real and so splendid as his, may avail itself of this opportunity to encourage emulation by the unstinted rewards conferred upon an illustrious ex ample. What adds to the merit of his last achieve ments is, that he was ill, and it was supposed that Brigadier Napier would have been obliged to under take command. " He captured 16 guns, 70 elephants, and a great quantity of warlike stores, in the combat to which we have adverted ; and Brigadier Napier, a very v i goro us, accomplished, and able soldier, pursued th e runagates, and captured 25 guns more and other mu nitions, three days later. The rebels were reported to have taken a westerly direction ; but they had not reached, as was at first supposed, Jeypore or Bhurtpore. The whole of the fugitives from Gwa lior reached Hindoun on the 24th ult., and two days afterwards they were estimated, with camp followers, at 15,00 Q. From Agra troops were following them. The Governor-General meantime proclaimed, in jus tifiably haughty terms, the quick re-instalment of Scindiah in his Maharaj. " The outbreak in Bombay has been vigorously repressed, and the chief of Nurgoend and others have been hanged, and unless some of the numerous beaten gangs now wandering over the country make their way towards the north of the Deccan, and con trive to raise the Nahrattas, we believe the Western By the arrival of the Calcutta mail at Marseilles we (Times) have received our private correspondence from India and China. The following is the letter of our Calcutta correspondent : " CALCUTTA, JULY 3. " Gwalior fell upon the 19th ofJune. On the 17th an engagement was fought in the cantonment of Morar, of which we are as yet totally without parti culars. On the 18th Brigadier Smith, who was ad vancing from Sepree with his brigade, was attacked by a division of the insurgents, headed by the Ranee of Jhansi. This girl, barely 20 years of age, has been all her life immured in the seraglio. She was, however, absolute in her domains, and, like most Asiatic women in the same position, gave herself up to the most extreme licentiousness. Her rooms, it is said, when entered by the troops, were hung with pictures such as pleased Tiberius at Capri. Whatever her vices she had energy and courage, and while Tanteea Topee prepared for flight, she led her own retainers and some sepoys to the attack. They re fused, however, to stand in the plain, and retreated towards the low hills, and finally on the Phoolbagh. Two troops of the Bth Hussars followed at speed through a narrow ravine to the camp, and there drove a body of the fugitives to bay. The Ranee and her sister, in men's clothes, headed the defence, and were both slain in the first charge. The Hussars were all armed with revolvers, which did terrible executibn.!VOlne - 400 of the enemy were killed, the tents were set on fire, and - it was not till the little band had spiked three of the guns and found themselves enveloped by the rebels that they re tired. They had lost five men, and about ten more perished from sun-stroke and fatigue. In the even ing Sir llugh Rose, with the Central India field force, joined the Brigadier. On the following morning the enemy again attacked, but after a desperate struggle were driven back by her Ma jesty's 95th. The 86th were advanced to support, and both regiments, half marl with excitement, charged the enemy up the bill under a heavy fire, seized the standing camp at the top, and awaited orders. Sir Hugh Rose moved his cavalry and artillery up the hill, and the sepoys, disheartened by the loss of the position, by the death of their only capable leader, and by the appearance of reinforce ments, showed symptoms of confusion. They were observed by Sir Hugh Rose, the whole army was let loose and swept down into the plain. The enemy fled, the city and standing camp were seized, and the fort alone remained. During the night this also was deserted, except by some fanatics, who next morning charged on the 25th, the Bombay Native Infantry. They were all killed, with the loss of Lieutenant Rose on our side, and the fort was in our hands. On the same day, the Maharajah, escorted by the Hussars, was conveyed to his palace amid the accla mations of the people. His officers returned to their duties, his harem arrived in safety, and on the 22d the traces of the revolution had disappeared from Gwalior. The enemy fled, part towards Jeypore, and part to Joura, north-west of the city. Thither they were followed by Colonel Napier, the officer selected to command the fbrce during the illness of Sir Hugh Rose. C um b ere d with guns which they would neither desert nor defend, they were over taken on the 22d, and the whole of their artillery, 25 pieces, fell into our hands. Sixteen more were taken in the Lushkur on the 19th, and the enemy are reduced to a few light camel guns, not of much use against the Mime. The remaining division when last heard of was at Hindoun, and it was still doubtful whether they would make for Jeypore or Bhurtpore. The latter is more probable. The fortress has an old reputation, the population are warlike, and though the fortifications are now only of earth, they are still defensible. They cannot enter the town without the consent of the local soldiery, but after the example of Gwalior it is impossible to rely on any body of native troops. The Governor- General has issued the following order on the occasion : FOREIGN DEPARTMENT, ALLAH ABAD, . Jurin 24. The Right Hon. the . Governor-General has the hiubest gratification in announcing that the town and fort of Gwa lior were conquered by Major-General Sir Hugh Rose on the 19th inst. after a general action, in which the rebels who bad usurped the authority of Maharajah Sciudia were totally defeated. On the 10th June the Maharajah Scindia, at tended by the Gcivernor-General's agent for Central India and Sir Hugh Rose, and escorted by British troops, was restored to the palace of his ancestors, and was welcomed by his subjects with every mark of loyalty and attachment. It was on the Ist of June that the rebels, aided by the treachery of some Of 'Maharajah Sciudia's troops, s e i ze d the capital of hi s Hi g h ness ' s kingdom, and hoped to establish a new go vernment under a pretender in his Highness's territory. Eighteen'clays had not elapsed before they were compelled to evacuate the towp and fort of Gwalior, and t o re li nqu i s h 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 conti nued presence of British troops at Gwalior to support his Highness in the re-establishment of his administration, offer to all a convincing proof that the British Government has the will and the power to befriend those who, like Maha rajah Scindia, do not shrink from their o'iligations, or hesi tate to avow their loyalty. The Right Hon. the dovernor- General; in order to mark his appreciation of the Maha rajah Seindia's friendship, and his gratification at the re establishment of his Highness's authority in his ancestral do minions, is pleased to direct that a royal salute shall be fired at every principal station in India.

The restoration of the Maharajah Scindia to his capital by the force under the command of the Major- General is a happy termination of the brilliant campaign through which the Central India Field Force has passed under his able direction. "3. That campaign ha; been illustrated by many en gagements in the open field, by the relief of Saugor, the capture of Ratghur, Sbagbur, and Chundehree; by the memorable siege of Jbansi ; by the fall of Calpee, and, lastly, by the re . tccupation of Gwalior. 66 4, Hit Execiloacy again camCslii3 hearty thanks Bad W. MAYIIEW, Lieutenant-Colonel, Adjutant- General of the Army." The Commander-in -Chief is too chary of his praise. Sir Hugh Rose has done wonders, and has proved that constant ser v i ce i n t h e bureaudoes not always disqualify a general for the field. The fall of the city has had a most excellent effect. All kinds of scoundrels who were raising their heads in Etawah, Agra, and Mynpoorie, have subsided again. Lej Sing, the rebel Rajah of the last-named district, has surrendered, only stipulating for a trial before execution, and there is a general change of tone in the North-west. Oude is now the last hope of the insurgents. Everywhere else their military power is shattered or destroyed. Tanteea Topee, who alone has an army, has no guns. The petty leaders who in almost every district keep up an archy and render the collection of revenue im possible have no military power. Ununur Singh, who is•harassing Behar, has not 1,000 men left. The 6,000 rebels at Soraon, near Allahabad, are only formidable becatise they can escape when threatened into Oude. Keer Singh is . dead. The Ranee of Jhansi has been killed. The Moulvie, who commanded at Mahum dee, has been decapitated by the zemindars or Powaeen, the Nana is skulking, and. Feroze Shah, the Delhi Prince, does not venture to leave Oude. He, I am told, is now the hope of the mutineers, and as the last son or i the house of Timour commands the sympathies of all Mahoznedans. In Oude itself the position is ;as bad as it can well be. There are re gular armies at Bareitch, at Fyzabad, at Khyrabad, and moving along the southern frontier. We hold only the capital and Nawabgung e, where Sir 11. Grant on the 13th inst. gained a victory. The Begum and her paramour, Mumnoo Khan, had ad vanced too near the capital. Sir H. Grant there fore resolved to disperse them. The sepoys at tempted to defend a small bridge over a ravine, but slunk away under the fire of the Horse Artillery. Sir H. Grant crossed, but only to find himself at tacked by a mob of armed budmashes, the generic name in India for men who in Europe were once called " bravos." These men, actuated by some un intelligible caprice, stood up to th e con t est i n th e open lain, met the 60th Rifles hand to hand, and almost beat back a cavalry charge. They were, however, dispersed with the loss of seven guns, and the Begum disappeared. In all other districts Bri tish authority is powerless. Maun Singh is besieged near Fyzabad for being supposed friendly to the British, and all zemindars who express a willingness to submit are massacred. The scene is a painful one, but we can do nothing till the arrival of the cold weather and of the reinforcements expected in October. Your readers must not imagine that because Oude is the last province left to conquer the other pro vinces of the North-West are at peace. Except in Rohilcund and the Delhi division there is no peace anywhere. In Delhi the wonderful organising faculty of Sir John Lawrence has re-established regular government, and there is as much order as in the Punjaub. In Rohilcund the landholders have submitted, and are hunting the sepoys. Everywhere else orderis maintained only by the sabre's edge, and the revenue is collected by military force. A wide amnesty is, however, to be issued in a few days in Bundlecund, and that province will be closed against intrigue. In the remaining districts we are slowly organising bands of light horse, chiefly Sikh, and with the reconquest of Oude the last hope of the Pindarees will be taken away. We shall then have leisure for that reorganisation which has become so indispensable. The Commander-in-Chief has offi cially confirmed the statement that his plan of cam paign was overruled by the Governor-General. There is some nonsense talked in India about this. Since the empire was founded the Governor-General has always planned the campaign. Warren Hastings never consulted anybody, except when he had Sir Eyre Coote by his aide. Lord Dalhousie most cer r tainly drew up his own plans, and used - to writ terrible letters to urge General Godwin, in Pegu, to adhere to them, instead of to his somewhat anti quated ideas of warfare. In truth, it cannot be otherwise. The Governor-General is, and must be, an absolute sovereign, and to give the Commander in-Chief the power to dictate in all military arrange. ments is simply to create two rulers. "We have bad news from Behar. After his suc cesses at Jugdespore, Sir E. Lugard's force was bro ken up, Brigadier Douglas moving to Benares, and he himself to Jugdespore. The enemy, who had retreated towards Benares, immediately doubled back and made for Jugdespore. Colonel Douglas was recalled, but was unable to move, having only about 90 Europeans fit for duty. The rebels near Shergbotty encountered a body of 150 prisoners, sent under escort to Sasseram. The Nugeeb guard of 50 men, recently levied, immediately fraternized, murdered the Darogah, and released the prisoners. The rebels then divided, Ameer Singh proceeding to Jugdespore, while a detachment invaded Gya. The former compelled Captain ltattray, with his Sikhs, who had been left by Sir E. Lugard to watch the jungle, to retreat, and began murdering the coolies who were cutting roads. They mutilated a number, and the remainder fled. One unhappy wretch was seen by a European—l can prove this—buried up to his neck, for the kites to pick out his eyes. He was quite dead. All natives serving with Government are threatened with the same treatment, till there has been a general panic among employes. The latter body marched to Gya, bribed the gaol guard, released the prisoners, and left the town, which they were afraid to attack. They are now near Tikaree, apparently besieging the Ranee, an old lady of enormous wealth. The people are not by any means disposed to side with them, but they seem cowed, and in the last four months 9,000 of them have arrived in Calcutta on their way to the Mauritius. They bring their women, a thing they never would do before, and will probably settle in the island. The colonial Government are still crying for more, and what with our own troops, Ameer Singh, and emigration, society in Bhojpore will be as much changed as society in Connaught. " The necessity of defendidg Bengal seems at last to be recognised. We have now 2,600 men in Cal cutta, 1,700 in Dumdum, 900 in Barrackporc, and 1,200 sailors scattered over some 13 stations. These men have been just attached to the Indian navy, thereby coming under martial law, and are to be in creased to- 2,000. A. force of European policemen is also, it is said, to be organised in each division, the divisional battalions being abandoned as unsafe instruments. It is still necessary, however, to or ganise a native force for Behar, where we have ob viously not sufficient strength to keep down the armed classes. " A curious question has been recently decided by the Supreme Government. Koer Singh's estates were heavily mortgaged. Are the mortgages ex tinguished by the act of confiscation ? Government has decided that they are—a decree which throws part of the punishment for rebellion on innocent persons. The consequence in some districts will be to ruin the people, who have not rebelled, as well as the landholders who have. Moreover, by this ex tinction of all deeds, confiscation, nominally confinedh to the landholder, extends to the whole of 15 tenantry. All subholdings disappear as in a Govern ment sale, and the district as well as the family are ruined. Ido notquite see the remedy, but the na tives think the zemindar's right only should be extinguished, as when a native sovereign transfers a jaghire. has m o ve ts, though me ` n ` Nottlseingo it is is knownyet Lord Cann ing ', that deann b ing e 's reported of L t re signed.

In my last letter I wrote of the state. of anxiety that prevailed throughout the country lest a re awakening of the religious fanaticism of the people should give rise to disturbances. This danger has happily passed away. On the Ist inst. her Majesty's ship Princess Royal arrived here from Malta, and is now at anchor off the port, but there fortunately appears to be not the slightest chance of her services being called into requisition for our protection. Even from Gaza we have had no further reports to keep alive the first feelings of alarm, and most people are convinced that the accounts received thence were grossly exaggerated, and that the disturbance arose rather from a sudden panic among the ChriAians THE LAUNCH OF THE MERSEY. Another attempt was made yesterday afternoon at Cha tham dockyard to launch her Majesty's large screw frigate Mersey, 40, which refused to quit the stocks on the previous day, and the efforts of those employed in the operation were crowned with complete success, the Mersey being now safely afloat alongside the dockyard. The failure in the attempted launch on Thursday afternoon appeared to take every per son by surprise, as such a circumstance had not been known to occur at Chatham dockyard for a very great number of years; and even now no satisfactory reason for the non launching of the vessel can be arrived at. It was not until after 4 o'clock on Thursday afternoon that the efforts to go t her off the stocks were abandoned, and Mr. Lafre, the mas ter shipwright, reluctantly gave the orders to discontinue the attempts that day, and issued directions to shore up to prevent her rushing. down the " ways" into the river in a sudden fit. Immediately the huge vessel was made secure a minute examination of the ship, the " ways," the cradle, and, indeed, every other part of the ship, was instituted, in order to ascertain why the hitch had occurred. It was at first supposed that that part of the slip which kart been iceently added had sunk in some mi elite decree so as th affect the incline of the " ways," but on examination not the slighte-t sinking, even to the mi nutest part of an in inch, could be detected, a satisfactory proof of the excellent manner in which the ship had been constructed by Messrs. Rigby, the contractors. The" ways" were then examined, and these were found to be in pet feet order, the " camber" of tke vessel being even a trifle more titan is usually the case in consequence of the immense length of the Mersey. The only conclusion arrived at to ac count for the hanging of the ship was that of adhesion, a fea ture not altogether unknown in the launching of large ves sels, the suppo'ition being that the great wcightof the Mer sey—increased too by le° tons of machinery which had been put on board—had caused her to adhere so tightly to the ways" as to require a force of no ordinary description to lift her and give her a slight start. Ferrari gangs of ship wrights were accordingly employed up to a late hour on Thursday night, cumeneneing again at four o'clock yesterday morning, in putting down additional blocks and serews to ease her off. Four large hydraulic presses were also borrowed from the yards of Messrs. Foord and Slns and Mr. Gill, at Rechlster, to be used in the attempt to move her, the Government esta blishment at Chatham being without any machinery of that description. Several large rams were nisi placed at the stern of the ship to exert their force on the sullen mass. nch The time de cd wa: ; d o , o e n lo t , Lniec ti t: e i t e lela , erf e rt c sco o lrli n ini I..

At a given signal the dog-shores and blocks were eimultaneously knocked away, and the pressure frstn the leer hydraulic presses brought to bear again s t th e vessel's stern. The ship wrights at the same moment forced the rams by means of powerful wedges, against the ehip, which could no longer resist Cl e tremendous force applied, and in about five minutes the cry ar ose, " sites off," and i n an i nstant afterwards the large vessel was seen gliding down the " ways " into the waters of the Medway, which she appeared to be so reluctant to enter. Nowithstand ing the disappointment many thousands had to endure the previous day there was again an immense number of specta tors present, as it was pretty well known that the ship could not resist the force about to be used in getting her off the Mucks. As tire Mersey gyrated into the river those on shore and on board the vessel loudly cheered. After Na ; tshme made, but asotlur examination of the " ways" and slip no fault whatever eculd he found in either to account for the (Siure in the first attempt, which, as we previously 'fated, was doubtless caused by adhesion. The Mersey will he masted and jury-rigged at Chatham, after which she will be navigated to Portsmouth to be made ready for sea, it being understood that she is to form one of the Channel Fleet of large line-of-battle ships and frigates. She is pierced for the following powerful at m ;Intent : deck, 2S 10-inch glens, each 84cwt. and 9 feet 4 inches in length; upper deck, 12 GB-pounderpivots, each 95cwt. and 10 feet in length. From the power of her engines (1,000- horse), she is expected to attain a great speed afloat. The next vessel to be launched at Chatham dockyard is the Charybdis, 22, screw corvette ;to followed by the Hood, 91-gun line-of-battle screw steamer.
