The advices by the Overland Mail have been received, and considerable extracts will be found in another part of our impression. The tele grams contained in The San of yesterday were more complete than usual, ,and there is a decided improvement on the part of those entrusted with the duty of preparing the summaries. As before, however, they are, generally speaking, more favourable than the full intelligence, preparing the public mind generally for the bad news ilea must speedily follow. With the single exception of Delhi, there is no place in which our position has improved, or our prospects appear more en couraging than heretofore. The accounts are, according to the general rule, of a chequered cha racter, but more than ordinarily disastrous. General HAVELOCK—no longer a Brigadier, bill, thanks to the tardy recognition of the au thorities, a Major-General and K.C.B.—has again distinguished himself, and his followers have proved themselves worthy of their truly illustrioui leader. But, unfortunately, his victories have been dearly paid for—his resources too severely taxed. His column has been reduced to 900 bayonets, and he could not reasonably hope t cope with the tremendous odds which he should be compelled to encounter. His gallant soldiers were worn out with fatigue and almost superhuman exertions. They could not, however, obtain the repose so greatly needed. Their countrymen and countrywomen were be sieged at Lucknow. Not merely the'garrison, but English women and children were placed in fear ful jeopardy, and every one of the scanty but determined band was animated by an unflinching resolution to save them or perish in the attempt. We had heard of the triumphs of the 29th aid 30th July at Busserut Gunge en route to Luck now. He was, however, obliged to retrace his footsteps to Cawnpore in order to place his sick and wounded—and disease had made ter rible ravage s on his Brigade—in compel-f -ile() safety, and also to secure the guns which he had captured from the rebels. On the 4th c f August he again moved forward. Ou the follow j ug d a y he had another sharp conflict with about 5,000 mutineers , whom h e engaged, and as usua l defeated, aga i n cap t u ring th e i r guns. Ho again pushed on to Busserut Gauge, but h av i ng ascer tained that the rebels were more tbansotoe did in l i wa i obliged to retire on Cawnpore, which he perfect order. On the 12th August he was attacked on the north bank of the Ganges, but again discomfited his assailacts, and again, captured their guns. lt would not have been courage, but reckless mad mess to have attempted more in the direction of - Lucknow. He kept the rebels in full occupation, although unable io give complete relief to the beleaguered garrison. It is still hoped that they may have been assisted by a party of Goer khas—the same whose aid was so contumeliously rejected by Lord CANNING. This is, however, e-xceedingly problematical, and we must still feel deep arxiety for the fate of the garrison, and the fugitives who have taken refuge along with them. Bat for ied-tapisni their safety would have been THE SUN, LONCO:N, WEDNESDAY; fi:trElliNGT] SEP SEMBER 30 18 5 7 insured ; and if lost, they may be regarded as victims sacrificed at the altar of routine. The position oven of HAVELOCK himself was very formidable. His small and literally worn out brigade was completely surrounded by assail ants. On one side, the left bank of the river, the rebellious Oudeans, who bad experienced such con vincing proofs of his prowess, threatened. At another, from Futtehpore, where he first en countered the rabble of the rebel NANA SAHIB, the mutineers were collecting boats to enable them to cross the river. There, how- ever, a single steamer, something like one of our metropolitan Citizen, or Iron Companies' boats, the only one available, but which under the circumstances was worth a line of battle ship, might prevent the passage. From the direction of Callpec too, the mutineers from Gwalior threa tened to effect a junction with the Oudean insur- gents, and there was nothing to stop them. A. few of the watermen steamers might save HAVELOCK, and the remnant of the hardy Highlanders and dashing 68th. We all remember the capture of Blackfriars Pier. The Captain of Waterman, No. 5, might now achieve fame and honour i in the right place. We have pointed out the imperative necessity of a river flotilla, but unfortunately our suggestions were disregarded, and HAVELOCK has but one steamer at his disposal, which cannot guard the fords of the Ganges and the Jumna. General LLOYD has been superseded, and it is said is to be tried by court-martial, or at all events an inquiry is to take place into his con duct. Those who maintained him in a position for which he was so clearly disqualified are, how ever, more guilty than the infirm and imbecile old man. The terrible blundering, however, led to the destruction of the 200 British soldiers who fell into ambuscade in striving to relieve Arrah, endangered by the vacillation at Dinapore, fomented the disturbance in Behar, kept a large body of English soldiers, that might otherwise have joined General FlavELoox, folly occupied, and left the Dinapore mutineers at liberty to join his assailants. These are serious calamities, and the author or authors must fully answer for the untoward results. Sir JAMES OITTRAM will, how ever, unless we are greatly raj:Aiken, prove a com mander of a very different calibre from Major- General LLOYD. Many sharp contests have taken place before Delhi, in all of which the rebels assumed the initiative. In every instance we fully held our own, and many brilliant acts were performed by those who, though nominally besiegers, were really besieged in their own position. That state of affairs would, however, speedily bo altered. NICHOLSON had arrived, and his troops were daily, we might almost say hourly, expected. OMIT LANDT was also approaching with his gallant fol lowers, and we may anticipate something from the " team" of newly-made C.B=., WILSON, NICHOL SON, CORTLANDT, and CHAMESELA.IN, when co operating against the devoted city. The mock KING has sett off the members of his Zenana to a place of greater safety. It is more than hinted that many of the mutineers are also seeking safety in flight, not even retaining their arms. It is also reported, al though we do not place much faith in the rumour, that the representative of the Moguls has endea voured to make terms for himself, striving to obtain 36 is place of 15 lace of rupees, as the condition of surrender. Of course no such proposition could be list :tied to for a moment, but the very ventilation of the subject shows that the garrison of D_lhi do not feel themselves to be on a bed of roses, and that they aro already look ing out for a means of escape. From Bombay and Madras matters are not very satisfactory. Although no new mutinies, there are occasional symptoms of disaffection among the native troops worthy of peculiar notice, and which should be at once looked t) by the authorities. Every appearance of the kind should be strictly scrutinised. We have quite enough to do with out increasing our difficulties by further negli gence. It is announced that " the keel of the Royal Frederick, 120, which has been nearly 20 years on the stocks in Portsmouth, is found to be en tirely rotten, and has been nearly all removed." This is the blessed system under which the mari time affairs of Great Britain are neglected—the judicious management of "My Lords." A three decker, of 120 guns, has teen planned at a very heavy outlay. The keel is laid down—consider able progress made in the construction, but the work is never completed. It is destroyed by Time, even before it has ever floated on the water —before the launch has been accomplished. This is the result of red tapism 1 Somebody should be responsible for the loss. But it will be shuffled backwards and forwards, and eventually that ill-fated Mr. Nobody, " the common vouchee" of officials, will turn out to be the sole delinquent. This is in strict accordance with routine, and it would be well worth the loss if the lesson should prove prufitable, and adequate means be adopted to prevent similar absurdities for the future. It is not merely men-of-war that are decaying on the stocks. We have gunboats, whose services might be of vast importy ea in the rivers and on the coasts of India and China, rotting in harbour. We have repeatedly, vsq'te ad nauseam, pointed out how they might be rendered availibl , ., and how ex ceedingly advantageous they would prove in the Indian and Chinese seas. But nothing eza awaken "My Lords" from their apathy. These valuable ships were c instt noted just "in time to be too lace for the Russian war—a heavy outlay was occasioned by their construction—thanks were bestowed on the Board of Admiralty for the judicious expenditure ; but they are suffered to remain useless . and unprofitable, simply because no person in authority will take the trouble of thinking what is to be their destination. What would HAVELOCK now give for a few steamers of shallow draught on the Ganges and the Jumna. The screw gunboats might possibly draw too much water to be fully available. But they could be useful elsewhere, and would liberate others for service in the upper wators. Nothing, however, is or has been done. "My Lords" slumber on, while the public money is wasted—philosophically permit vessels to decay while yet on the stocks, and others to become rotten lying up in ordinary. It seems almost pity to disturb their repose, but " a flapper" of " the Fourth Estate" would be useful to our "absent friends" at Whitehall. It would be well it Parliament were sitting to elicit an answer —but as we mast wait for another Session, it is well to direct attention to the subjee. Possibly, Lord PALUERsrox may find time t.) stir up Sir C. WOOD, and show him what is expected by the na tion. Ile receives amp le pay, distributes valuable patronage, and should do sornethin, in return. It is not the Royal Fredeikk only that has de on. If w e a re no t greatl y' cayed before her comp le mistaken the Nelson, asot er three-decker,bas Ter yet been launched, although nearly 30 yeafi on the stocks. There are others else in a similar posi tion, which we have not time to alludo to more fully this day. We know that money quadruples within 28 years at compound interest. What, then, has been the loss ? We may rail at direc tors of joint-stock companies, who disregard the interests confided to their charge. What should be thought of responsible Minioters who exhibit greater carelessness and indifference ? If the loss by the Nelson or the Royal Frederick was but 50,0001. or 60,0001., and it is, we be lieve, far below the mark in either case, it would now amount to 200,0001. or 240,0001., at compound interest. We might, in fact, have an entire Navy for India, aye, no less than a dozen Navies, for sums recklessly squandered in the Dockyards in fiddling with vessels never finished or turned to beneficial use. Never was a stringent investigation more urgently required than into the naval adminis tration, or, rather, mal-administration, of the country. We trust some independent member will demand it. We cannot think that with the instance of the Nelson, the Royal Frederick, the gun-boats, &c., &c., any Minister would dare to resist the demand. GENERAL HA VELOCK'S PROMOTION. (Prom a Supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday Sept. 29.) GENERAL ORDER. HORSE GUARDS, SEPT. 29. BREVET. In consequence of the eminent service perf;rmod by C.

THE MARRIAGE OP THE PRINCESS ROYAL —The New Prussian Gazette of the 231 says :—" His Royal High ness Prince Frederick William will, according to ar rangement, proceed to England in November, and pay a vivit to the English Court on the 21st of that month, which is the birthday of her Royal Highness the Princess Rqyal. The wedding day is fixed for the 18th January, and the 31 of February is name! as the day of their entry into Berlin."

The expenses are net do Nu at 73,325,537 florins, and the receipts at 74,141,125 florins. The Verona Gazette gives the intelligence that the per son to whom Mezzini has, either really or fictitiously, transferred his property, and who has been introduced to public notice as Advocate B--, is no other than Advo cate Broffrrio, the leader of the republican party at Turin. _ _ _ A letter from St. Petersburg says :—" The Military Court has just c,indemned to dismissal and loss of the privileges of their rank for peculation Baron Mest macher, chief of the customs district of Odessa, and Colonel Potemkin, chief of the quarantine port of that place." A committee, con , isting of twelve of the principal merchants of Hamburg, ha*, we learn with pleasure, been formed to collect subscriptions f)r the relief ( , f the sufferers from the Hindoo insurrection, and the Doren ludic of that city bas addressed au appeal to the pubic for donation?.

Madge, of Essex-street Chapel, Strand), to be his chaplain during the year of Ilia shrievalty. Mr. Sheriff Allen ha; ap pointed as his chaplain the Rev. Tnornas Grose, M. A , curate of St. Peter's Church, Cornhill. PRESENTATION OF THE NEW SHERIFF3.-H-This after noon, the ancient custom of presenting the -Sheriffs of London and Middles«x, for the approbation of her 111,jesty, was observed at the Court of Excheqa , r. Westminster, before Mr. Baron Channell. For the fi et time within the memory of the "ol.lest inhabitant " cf that ancient city, the civic procesion proceeded the whole distance from the to Westminster, by land, instead of part by land and part by water. So grand a procession, with the Lord Mayor's gilded giri4erbr“.ad coach, passing along the Strand, took the inhabitants by surprise, for such a sight in that part of London has not been witnessed probably for upwards of a cent are. CLOSE OF THE EXHIBITION OF ART-TREASURES.- —lt is now officially stated that her Majesty wid not be pre sent at the closing of the Exhibition, on the 15th prox The executive have given notice that the charge for admission on the 12th, 13th, and 14 , h October, v.ill he half a crown ; so that the days for the admission of the masses, at one ehiil ug each, are now very limited, being restricted to six days, exclusively of to-day, Oct. 21, 3i, 4th, sth, 6th, and 10th. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday.—rhe North Atlantic) Com pany's screw steamship General Williams, Captaio Flinn, arrived in the Mersey at noon to-lay, from Portland and St. John's, Newfoundland, with dates from the lat ter to the 19th in-t. inclusive, 30 pas , engers and 2,003 barrels of fl mr, as cargo. Her dates from Portland and Halifax are anticipated. Much disappointment was felt in Newfoundland at the failure of the attempt to lay down the Atlantic cals. INDIAN I TELEGRAPH VIA TURKEY.—Sir William O'Shaughnessy has, we understand, lett England for India. He goes by way of Canetn.ntinople, w`lere he will remain a few days in order to arrange with the Turkish Government for the construction of a telegraph from that city to-Bagdad. This line will be c instructed by the Turkish Government, he under its sole control, and be connected with the East India Company's tele graph down the Persian Gulf to Kurrachee. Sir Win. O'Shaoghnessy had a long interview With Lord . Palmer eton previous to his departure. PaecK or GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 5 per mile premium, and the short exchange on London is 25.20 per 1/ sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 3/. 173. 10i pet ounce for standard gold it appears that g.d I is nearly 4-10ths per cent, dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424:1 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13 4 p r 1/. sterling. Standard gold at the English Mist price is theref:tre about 3 lthhs per cent, dearer in Hamburg than ''.a London. Tue course of exchange at New York or. London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 108 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against England ; but, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves no profit on the transmission of gold either way between the two countries. REPORTED ASSASSINATION OF SIR JAMES BROOKS. — The Bendigo Adverti er of Friday, July 17, contains the following paragraph, under the head of Melbourne News: —" We have been informed that some later intelligeece than has reached any of the Melbourne Journals, is in the possession of a mercantile firm in this city, respect ing B irnere It is to the effect that there was a second rising of the Chinese there, and that during the conflict eir James Brooke was killed. If true, this will i till further intensify the strong feeling that prevails against the Chinese. Something must be done, and that quickly." Our readers are aware that there are at t ,is time some 45,000 Cbinese at the diggings, and that col lisions between them and the Europeans, provoked by the latter, have occurred, and many lives have been hst. There is a feeling in the colony that steps should be taken to expel the Chinese. A letter from Madrid of the 231 says :—" The Queen has pardoned a municipal guard who was to hiVe beet' shot for insubordination. The eircumstancee under which this act of clemency was decided on aro mini ms. The isistr of the condemned hid caused a petition to be presented to the Queen while on her way to the theatre. AA the same time, when the curtain rose, Madams fli-ttori, in the- character of Medea, interceded f r to culprit in a fccv verses which she declaimed with her accustomed energy. Imniediately the Queen &eared o two of her Ministers, who were with her. that she was inclined to pardon the man, but nevertheless asked '.heir advice. They represented that this was the third case of insubordination inthat corps, and that an exempt, had become necessary ; she pleaded warmly the cause if humanity, and at length they consented. Tae Q leen instantly wrote the pardon in her box." The ambassador ,f France had given a grand banquet to Mona. RiAtori. THE FORTIFICATION OF KERTCH CONTRADICPED. The Austria's Gazette stated a day or two hack that tile Russians are constructing a fortress on Mount Miii:ri ates, at Kertch, to defend the entrance of the Sea of Scoff. The Austrian journal confounds Kertch with .f eui Kale. The first of these two tovens is situated at the xtreinity of a bay upwards of three miles long, and is tot a strategical point ; it has consequently never been, end is not to be, defended. But the Russians have eetored and armed anew, as they bad a right to do, the etrtrese of Jeni Kale, which is situated in the narrowest bests of the straits, and commands them throughout all heir l eng th. Plated in a thanicating situation, this f iteese is sualcitut, to defend the entrance to the Sea of Azar. THE OVERLAND MAIL. THE MUTINIES IN INDIA. We have received, by Eztraordivary Express, in advance of the above mail, our file of papers fr3m Bombay of the 31st of August, from which wo make the following important extracts : (From, the Bombay Times of Aug. 31.) SUMMARY. —During tie last fortnight the aspect of affairs in India has not improved, and the in telligence which we send home by this mail is cer tainly . of a disastrous character. The flame of re bellion, which was then thought to be dying out, burns with as much fierceness as ever, and sparks from the blazing pile are lighting up the fires of discord and insurrection in the neighbourhood of the conflagration. We had at first congratulated ourselves that the armies cf Madras and Bombay were staunch and loyal, and that they could be de pended on in the conflict with their insurgent bre thren ; but symptoms of disaffection are now being exhibited among the sepoy regiments of both the minor presidencie3, which convinces us that, al though they may not break out into open mutiny, they can scarcely be trusted to fight against their reloglious countrymen. We may yet hope, how ever, that the arrival of large numbers of European troops, of which we have received several fresh ac cessions, will confirm the wavering loyalty of these regiments still serving under our banners, and prevent them from joining the cause of the mutineers. This is the only consolation we have under the gloomy circumstances of our present position, for the determination of the home Go vernment to send the Indian reinforcements by the Cape route instead of dispatching them overland, will postpone the day of reckoning by several months. GENERAL HAVELOCK'S COLUMN. The force under General Havelock, which had advanced from Cawnpore towards Luclinow, to render assi,tance to the besieged garrison of that place, has beau oldiged to retrace its steps. After the brilliant victory on the 20th July at Busserut Gunge, of which we gave an account in our last Summary, the gallant general, having no cavalry to follow up his successes, and being hampered wi'h sick and wounded, commenced a retrogade move ment towards Cawnpore, which he reached in safety. He advanced again on the 4th of August, and was met - , the next day by about 5000 men, whom he engaged and defeated, taking their guns. He then pushed on to the village of Busserut Gunge ; but hearing that the enemy were in considerable force in the neighbourhood of Lucknow, and feeling that with scarcely a thousand Europeans he could not cope against such fearful odds, he res , ,lved to fall back on Cawnporo and await reinforcements. General Havelock's retreat was slow and deliberate and the enemy everywhere fled b fore hitn. On the 12th August, however, they attacked him with two guns on the northern side of the river, befort, crossing over to Cawnpore. In this action we suffered some loss, but succeeded in capturing the enemy's guns, which the Highlanders did in gallant style. The next morning the troops crosei the Ganges, and arrived in Cawnpore, where General Havelock was to remain nail he could. receive reinforcements from Lower Bengal. During Havelock's absence, Cawnpore had been threatened by a body of the enemy, but when General Neill advanced to meet them, they'took to flight. It is evident, from all these circumstances, that Oude is the focus of the rebellion, and that it will require a large European force to re-conquer it. The regiments which mutinied at Cawnpore and Lucknow, joined. by the warlike inhabitants of the province, have been organised into somo of order, and the connt-y seenal t U swarm with liordes of rebels. It would hare been madness in General _Havelock, will the diminiThed force under him, to hive encountered the immense array of tLe enemy, as his troops might hive been destroyed, and the sifaty of Lucknow and Cawnpor3 impaiit -le-1. No intelligence has been received °ln Luck now, the commun - cation with ivhicli is cut off, but it is supposed that the garrison is still holding out It is said that the G,)orlms from Nepaul have the be , i!ged troops, but this may be consi dered to be doubtful. DINAPORE. The mutineers from anapore, who were allowed to rain from that place without mo!estation, al though there were 1,2)0 European troops in the cantonment, retreated towards the Soane, and de bridge across that river. They stroyed the railway next proceeded to Arrah, where they destroys 1 the bungalows, and besiegeda fortified position to which the Europeans and a small party of Seikhs had re tired. A native proclaimed himself Rajah at Array, and assumed the functions of roya'ty. In the meantime detachments of her Majesty's 10th and 37th Regimen's, consisting of 250 men, under the command of Captain Dunbar, 10th Foot, were sent in a steamer to the neig'ibourhood of Arrah, t chastise the mutineers. This detachment fell into an ambuscade, and was almost entirely di•stroyed, about 140 of thorn having been hided. The troops were landed from the steamer in the dark, a native having brought a false message, which the coin manding officer believed, that the magistrates of Arrah had sent for relief ; and shortly afterwards, without being able toproteet and defend themselves, they were shot down in dozens by the rebels, who were in ambush behind a wall. Most of the olliers being killed, the survivors of the unfortunate. party made their way towardsthe river, and succeeded in getting on board the steamer. Mora than 50 men were kili,d, an d many of those who escaped were wounded. One officer and about 1G men, beUg `separated from the others, procee led by laud to Dinapore, which they reached in safety. Among,t the officers killed wtra Captain Dunbar, her Ma josty's 10th Foot ; Lieut. Anderson, late 22d ; Lieut. Ingilby, late 7th; Ensign Sale, her Majesty's 37th ; and Ensign Erskine, her Majesty's 10th Foot. The mate of the steamer and a railway volunteer were also killed. Lieut. Saudwith, her Majesty's 10th, Ensign Vernon, .late 40th, Dr. Jackson, and Messrs.Garstin and MacdonalJ, volunteers, were wounded in this me'laueloly aff dr: The rebels hung the dead bodies of the Europeans to trees, and tuck their Enfield rifles, cartridges, and all, which many of them usel. They did not; however, long enj their triumph, as they have had a severe beating by Major Eyre, who attacked them at Arrah. had three guns, 50 gunners, 150 of the Fusiliers, and 12 gentlemen volunteers from Bnxar. The mutineers numbered about 2500 men, some of them with Enfield rifles. They fought desperately, charging the guns, but they were beaten back ; and . the little garrism at Arrah, consisting of 45 Sikhs, 12 gentlemen, and a lady, were rescued by our brave little force. The rebels hive gone to SAS -seratn, on the Grand Trunk Read. Souse reports say that the mutineers are entrenching themselves ; others that they are marching towards the Kur rumnass=?e. A party of Europeans is going after them from Bewares. - They have cut the tclegra h wire, and stopped the dak, in consequence of which our communication with Calcutta was interrupted for several days. The conduct of General Lloyd, who commanded at Dinapore when the - mutiny occurred, and who is ind'reetly responsible for the disaster at Arrah, has b:en severely criticise) by the Indian press. The Supreme Government have 'also taken notice of his conduct, having suspended him from command, and he is also, it is said, to be brought to trial for letting the mutineers escape. The system, however, which places incapable aed imbecile men, who ought to be on the retited list, in import tnt commands in India, is chiefly at fault ; and unless a radical change is made by sweeping it away, no good can arise from the prosecution of individuals after the misclii:f has been done. Sir James Oatr a ni, who has been again nominated Chief Commissioner in-Oude, has boeneippoin'.ed t the Dinapore coairaa,ad pro tom. ; and will; ri ) doubt, discomfit the mutineers, as sesenteen hundred troops had arrived from China, and were being sent up towards the disturbed districts. DELHI. The people of England, who have been anxiously waiting to hear of the capture of Delhi, will be dis appointed to learn that the city is still in the pos session of the mutineers. With the small force under the command of General Wilson, an assault on the place could not he made with safety or the certainty of success ; and our operations have not, therefore, extended beyond strengthening our position. The enemy continued to annoy our troops by repeated sorties, but were invariably driven back with great slaughter. On the Ist of August, a body of the enemy made a succession of attacks on our right front, but were repulsed on every occasion. In this affair, Captain 1 ravers, of the Ist Punjaub Infantry, was killed, and the other casualties amounted to 10 killed and 36 wounded. The enemy afterwards kept up a fire of artillery for several days, when Lieutenant Brown, of the 33d Native Infantry, was mor tally wounded, and several other officers were hull. The explo&on of the powder manufac tory in the city, when 15,00014). of powder were de stroyed, is likely to cause serious embarrassment to the rebels. A most successful affair took place on the 12th, when a force under Brigadier Showers surprised a battery of guns, placed betwein the Cashmere Gate and Metcalfe picquets, which had for some days annoyed our outposts. Four guns wet e taken from the enemy, and were safely brought into camp. There were 112 killed and wounded among our men, several officer's being also placed hors de combat. At the date of the latest advices from Delhi, which reach to the 12th August, Briga dier General Nicholson's column, consisting of European troops and Sikh levies, w s daily ex pected to joit, the force, being thin within one day's march from the camp. Oft the arrival of thi se rein forcements our army would be able to assume the offensive, and, if practicable, attempt an assault. The affair of the 12th seems to be en indication that active measures are about to b 3 taken, and it was doubt!ess a preliminary to a more arduous struggle for the mastery of the city. We have received advices from Agra to the 7th ust., when all remained quiet in the neighbourhood of that fortress. The mutineerfrom Neemuch iend Nusseerabad, who threatened the place for some time, have retired towards Delhi, and there was no appearance of a host le force in the vicinity. The Indote mutineers, who had reached Gwalior, were, however, repotted to be advancing in the direction of Agra, but no fears were ent_rttined for the safety of the fort. The European inhabitants still remained in the fort, which was crowded to inconvenience. The Punjaub continues to enjoy tranquillity, and the organisation of the Sikh regiments for service at Delhi is rapidly progressing. The 26th N. 1., which had been disarmed at Meean Meer, the can tonment of Lahore, mutinied on the 30th July. In the attempt to maintain order, Major Spencer, who commanded the regiment, the quartermaster sergeant, and a native officer, lost their lines. The mutineers fled into the jungle, and endea voured to make their way towards Delhi, but were intercepted and cat up. Since then, parties of them have been seized in different parts of the country, and were summarily executed. Other mutinous regiments in the Punjaub have also been dispersed and bunted down, no sympathy being shown to them by the inhabitants of the province. His Highness Maharajah Goolab Singh, Sovereign of Cashmere, died on the 2.1 of August of fever. To the la-t the Maharajah maintained the most friendly relations with the British Government, and had just arranged to furnish a strong auxiliary force for the suppression of the rebellion in the north-we•t provinces. The Mahsrajah of Puttiala, one of our feudatories iu the Punjaub, has also rendered valu able assistance to the British cause, having aided in recovering the lost territories of Hisses). end Sirsa. At Mooltan the native artillery have been die armed by the Bombay Fusiliers, who have charge of the citadel. All continues quiet in the Punjaub. We have scarcely any intellig,ncefrora Raj pootiaa where nothing of inuchimportance has occurred since themutinies at Neemucla and Nuieerabad. Brigadier General Lawrence, with the forces- under his com mand, is able to control the turbulent Rajpoots, who have net yet evinced any s'gns of hostility. Thee have bean symptoms of clisaffaction in the 12th Bombay Native Infantry, forming part of the. Bajpootana field forcs. It appears that, on the . afternoon of the 10th August a trooper of the Ist Lancers passed by the Artillery lines at full gall p, chased by four othr rs of the regiment. O.) arriving at the lines of the 12th N. 1., the men of th at regi ment turned out to protect him, and refused to give him up. He escaped and got to his 'own lines, when he tried to induce the regiment to nantiuy and follow him. He fired several shots at native officers, one of whom he - wounded, end finding Viere was no response to the call, he gallopped down to the 12th lines again. At this time the affair had become known, and the whole force turned out, with her Majesty's 831 F. On- arriving at ti;e Native Infantry lines, they found the mutineer surrounded by the Native Infantry, he veheinen+ly calling upon them to fire upon the Europeans. They refused to give him up, but did not proceed to ac'ive violence. Afterarefusing to obey repeated orders from the Brigadier, Col. H. Mac all, and their officers, they formed a kind of hollow square round the fellow, from the centre of which he to )k deliberate aim with his carbine at the brigadier, and fired, but fortunately missed him. Upon this Vlree or four of the European Horse Artillery dashed into the square and cut him down—L'eutenaet Swanson giving him the coup de grace by sending a pistol bullet through him. A portion of the 12th Native Infantry were then disarmed, and on their muskets being examined, two, and in some cases three, balls were found in each piece. A fearful catastrophe, attended with heavy loss of life, has occurred at Jodhpore. The King's maga zine was struck by lightning, and 900 human beings were killed and wounded by the explosion,. which also destroyed property of the value of one million pounds sterling. Since the mutiny at Dinapnra several risings have occurred in various parts of Bengal, and the whole of the province seems to be in a state of alarm. The civilians at Gyab, after making pre parations for' defence, retreated to Patna, leaving the treasure in charge of a company of the 64th Regiment, which it is feared is in danger. The Bth Native Infantry at Hazareebagh mutinied on the 30th of June, and liberated all the prisoner=. Most of. the Europeans escaped to Bagoda, but there is every reason to believe that Major Oakes was killed. The 63d Native Infantry and the 11th Irregulars were disarmed at Berhampore on the Ist of August. They were paraded at an early hour in the morn ing, and on •either flank were placed two gnus charged with grape, under the protection of her Majesty's 90th Regiment, which had just arrived at the station. The sepoys, when ordered to give up their arms, at first made some demur, but at last yielded with a bad gr icp, and the arms were eventually piled and collected, and the troopers dismounted. It iz said that marry of the arms were found to be loaded, and that cartridges were discovered con cealed under some of the saddles of the troopers. From several other stations, the European inhabi tants, fearing a rising of the Mahomedans, were fl3ing towards Calcutta, which was becoming crowded with fugitives from all parts of Bengal. In Calcutta itself, Considerable excitement prevailed, and preparations were being made to guard against a Mussulenan outbreak, which was believed to be imminent. Troops were stationed in the principal thoroughfares of the city during the Mahornedan fesfivale, and other precautions were adopted by Government for the preservation of the public peace. These have been attended-with entire success, and the spirit which prompted them has not iu any Way abated its vigour. The police force had been in creased by 100 Europeans, and the natives of the North-West are looked lapels with suspicion. The Governor-General's body-guard has been disarmed, but continue cheerfully to perform their duty. It is probable also that the native population will be disermed,. a measure which is considered necessary to the public safety. But lit tledreadcan now be felt of a rising in Calcutta, as reinforcements were daily arriving from'iladras and China. The steamer Shannon, with Lord Elgin on board, anchored at Calcutta on 7th Aug., bringing 1,700 troops and Ma. r;nes from Hong-Kong. This is a valuable accession to the European force in Bengal, and will enable Government to despatch aid to Cawnpore and Luck now. The Hon. J. P. Grant, a member of the Supreme Council, has been appointed Lieutenant- Governor of the Central Provinces, with his head quarters at Allahabad. Sir Colin Campbell, the new Commander-in-Chief, has arrived in Calcutta, and Sir Patrick Grant is expected, to return to 'Madras shortly. Lord Canning remains at the seat of Government. Our latest advices from Cal cutta aro to the 11th Of August, via Madras. A letter from Aboo, dated the 11thinst., mentions that the King of Delhi has offered to make terms with us, on the condition that 36 lakhs of rupees annually, instead of 15, as heretofore, should be U.. cured to him and his successors. This proposal was of course peremptorily declined. He was in formed that nothing but unconditional surrender could be accepted. —Poonah, Observer Extra, Aug. 27. THE MADRAS PRESIDENCY. There is but li tle to record from the Marina Presidency, which has been in . a perfectly tranquil sta'e. Several of the Madras regiments htve teen sent to Calcutta, and the embarkation of other troops was quietly going on. When the Bth Cavalry was proceeding t•o the Presidency to cm bark, a mutinous spirit suddenly displayed itself among the men, upon which ;he authorities dis armed them at once. On arriving about 26 miles from Madras, it put forth a claim for the rate of pay, Latta and pension, which existed before 1857, and were more favourable to the &Toy than the present rates: The officers referred the matter to Government, which weakly comilied with tlie demand of the Sepoys, who. were informed to that effect. Encouraged by this succesi, the Sepoyanext declared that they would not march en any terurs. 'Upon seeing the state of matters, the Sepoys weie disarmed, retaining only their swords . , to which they quietly submitted. Great excitement was caused in Madras by this affair,' and preparations were male to resist an insurrection, which seemed to be impending. The horses of the mutinetis have been despatched to Calcutta, where they would be useful in mounting 'the Yeomanry, which is being formed there. THE BOMBAY PRESIDENCY. The mutiny at Kolapoor, in the Southern Mali ratta country, to which we briefly alluded in our last Summary, has been promptly suppressed, and does not appear to have been very general in the 27th Bombay Native Infantry. Only 200 men broke out on the occasion, and robbed the treasure chest. The officers bad received a timely warning and escaped to the Residency, where they assembled a body of infantry and cavalry, and prepared to defend themselves against attack. Un'ortun.ately, Lieutenan's Norris and Heathfitld, and Ensign Stubbs, of the 9.h Native Infantry, got astray from the rest of the officers, and were murdered by tl•:e mutirte:nrs in the neighblurhood of Kolapoor. While in a state of suspense, Lieutenant Kerr, of the Southern Mahratla Horse, who was dispatched from Sattara with a party of sower?, arrived at the Rtsidsncy. Measures were immediately adopted to attack the mutineers, who had taken up their position in a fortified quadrangle in the suburbs of the city, but the force retired without attempting to dislodge them. Some days afterwards, Lieut. Kerr headed a storming party, and succeeded in driving the enemy out and dispersing them. 01 the prisoners who were taken 21 were executed on the 19th August and 19 on the following day. Many more are undergoing their trial, -and will doubt less meet the same fate. A. detachment of Euro pean troops sent from Bombay and Poona are now located at Kolapoor, so that no fresh disturbances are likely to occur in that part of the country. At Belgauni, where martial law has been proclaimed, several Mahomedans have been convicted of treason and executed. A plot was discovered among the 29th Reigimeat Native Infantry to destroy the companies of the 2d Europeans, by attacking, them on theatight of their arrival at Belgaum, weary a►.d exhausted by their harassing march frem Goa. Several wrests were made in consequence, and a fiw of the foremost traitors executed. Some alarm had also been feit at Dharwah, to which place a com pany of the 2d Europeaus have been ordered. The wing of the 27th Regiment of Native Infantry, stationed at Rutnagherry, has been disarnied, as they were suspected of disloyalty when the other pare of the regiment mutinied at Kolapoor, and a company of the 33d has been detached from Bom bay fcr the protection of Rutnagherry. At Mount • Aboo fifty mtn of the Joudpoor Legion mutinied on the 21st August, and attacked the European barracks, but were driven away with Berne loss. Tney then retreated towards Erinpoora, where it is feared -that they will excite their comrades to mutiny. The other stations of the Bombay Presi dency have been comparatively tranquil, but a general feeling cf insecurity seems to prevail throughout the interior. Ia Bombay the panic which existed about a fortnight ago has gradually subsided, and a feeling of confidence pervades the community. A cumpa• yof European Ar tillery have airived from Bushire, and the remainder of her Majesty's 33d Regiment from the Mauritius. TileS3 troops have been a timed in Bombay for the present, until the ex citement in the Mohurrutn passes away, and tte public mind is reassured. Christians of all den )- minations observed a day of humiliation and prays r in connection with the present disturbaeces, and the natives of Boml ay also set apart a day for tire same purpwe. The weather is now very favour able, and the heavy rains during the last month have given us a plentiful supply of water for next, season. The fall up to the 29th of August was upwards of 60 inches. The monsoon may now be considered as ended, and traffic with the western ports has been resumed. The Governor is hit the Presidency, but the Commander-in-Chief has re turned to Poonah, to superintend the formation of aeother moveetle column of troops, for service in the North-West Provinces. COMMERCIAL. The tone of our import market lopki rather im proved in some articles, though not generally ; the business transacted doting toe fortnight has not been to any greater extent than Last reported. A further improvement in the money market if 3 to be noticed, the hanks having again, lowered their rates of ititeretzt one per cent, all round ; no im provement in Government securities ; and freigh. have slightly declined. • (FROM THE CORRESPONDENT OF THE DAILY. NEWS.) BOMBAY, SEPT. 1. Letters from Delhi, dated Aug. 12, state that the battle of that day was the best that Lad taken place before the city. During the night and the morning of the 13th, several unsucces ful aVacks were made on our piequAs. General Cottland.t was at Hansi on the ith cf Aug., and would hive to engage a large 1-ocly of insurgents of the 4th and 9th Native Inf-ntry and 14th Irregulars and ,Hurtiana Gait nk-nt Infantry, strongly Entrenched, 14 miles south west of Hansi, in the lianghur village of Jumu!- poor. • All well at .Agra up to the 11th inst. Lat?st news from CalcuV aof the 12th. The Native Artillery at Dun burn has all been disarmed. All the steamers froni Calcutta to Sucz have Leon prepared for the reception of troops, iu the event of such coming overland. Flom the South Mahra`.ta country'l hear that tLe Rja of Algullcote, a shoat distance fom Sho irpore, has raised the standard of Tel:3( Ilion, and has already 20,000 men at his back. If- this turn out true, we shall have heavy work to do in that quarter, as at this point and on the line between it and Beezapore all the malcontents of the NiZAM'S territory will rally. GEN. HAVELOII4.'S OPERA ON BATTLE OF BUSSERUT GUNGE. The folowin,T is a copy of General Bavelock's despatch, descril,ing his operations against the enemy on the 29th July " Camp, Busserut Gunge, July 30, 1857. " I raarchld yesterday and came up with the Enemy at Oonas. The town was flanked by an extensive swamp, and the position defended by 1 5 guns. The inundation prevented any turning move ment, and I at'acked the place, captured all the guns, and put the enemy to flight. The troops from Lncknow in our front were aided by a c3nsiderable detachment of the Nana's force from Futtehpore Cho wrassee which was on our left flank, commanded by Jussa Sing. I halted four hours in the extreme heat of the day, and then marched on this town, which is also surrounded by water . Font. pieces of cannon were mounted on its old-fashioned gates Ind towers. The road at the entrance of the town had been destroyed and the gate strongly barri :•aded. I had no sappers, so after a cannonade I a - saulted and took the place with all its guns. The enemy will not await any close contact with wy troops, excepting behind wall. Their loss this day has on that account been heavier than iiival ; mine also is severe-88 killed and Wounded. " At Oonas the soldier most distinguished vies private Patrick Cavanagh, H M.'s 64th Regiment. He was cut to pieces by the enemy while :showing a brilliant example to his comrades. HO he sm . ' vired, I should have recommended hint for the Victoria Cross. I trust a grateful Governmen t will pension his relations'. "The Madris Fusiliers ware particularly distin guished. Major Stevenson selects Lieut. Danger fitld as most conspicuous. He was the first on the uarricade at this place. Lieut. Bugle of the 7 8111 Highlanders was severely wounded whilst leading the way at Oonas into a loopholed house filled with desperate fanatics. I would desire that tie should be specially recommended to his Royal Highness th° General Commanding in Chief. " My staff gave rile glorious support. Col. Tyaerf hardly able to sit upon his horse from indispositio n, set an example to the wird@ force for activity an d daring. Lieut. Havelock, Deputy Assistant MP' taut General, had a horse shot under him ; and nal acting aide-de camp, Lieut. &toe, Madras Flidil Tiers, was severely wounded. " I have captured an entire field battery of gun s ' I but without cavalry, I cannot secure horses or equipments. " 1 must not overlook my VolUnteers, who ja i ' . prove, however, every day.
