Tl-1 U N, THE MUTINIES IN INDIA. (FROM THE SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE " DAILY NEWS.") BOMBAY, Jester 28: This letter will tell you of sad reverses and great misfortunes ; but the melancholy nature of its contents will e relieved by the recital of some some victories, and the gradual suppres-ion of re bellion. Death has deprived us of men high in rank, whose loss to military and civil servic-s in India wi Ibe severely felt. Incapable leaders raised to great commands under the system of seniority have been replaced in every quarter by men of ex perience and determination. We may therefore now hope without presumption that, with our a rmy strengthened by numerous reinforcements, energetic measures will be taken finally to punish the insurgents, and re-estab ish throughout the country the dimmed prestige of England. Disorder and confusion—the result of disaffection --have unfortunately impeded the ordinary chan nels of communication, and the news which is here brought together must be subject to future revisions and contradictions. The painful forebodings with which the position of Sir Hugh Wheeler was contemplated, the fears which were entertained for his safety, surrounded as he was by an imposing bldy of rebels, have been unhappily realised. Notwithstanding the silence of the Government respecting the fate of Cawn pore, there seems to be little doubt that the follow jug details are substantially correct :—Sir Hugh Wheeler had succeeded in concentrating ire a for tified work, expressly raised for the purpose, a small European force, codsisting of 90 men of her Majesty's 84th Regiment, 17 men of the Madras Fusiliers, and a company (the Ist) of the 6th battalion of artillery—a total of 200 . Europeans. The wives and children of her Majesty's 32d Foot, numbering upwards of a hundred souls, were also with him. Sir G. Parker, Bart., of the 74th Native Itifeotry, the magistrate, seems to have been the only officer there. As early as the 17th of June this small force was attacked by overwhelming numbers, but the assault, al thoueh twice repeated, was successfully repulsed. not, however, without considerable loss to the Bri tish. Messengers seem to have been dispatched several times to Allahabad to inform the officer in command there of the desperate nature of the English position. One of these messengers arrived, and to his coming we doubtless owe the statement made in my last letter, that communications were open with Cawnpore on the 24th of June. Several officers, according to the information of the mes sengere had already met their death. These were Lieutenant-Colonel Jack, Lieutenant-Polonel Wil liams, of the 56th N. I. ; Major Prout, 56th N.I. ; Major Lindsay, 10th N. I. ; Assistant-Adjutant- General ; and, Sir G. Parker, Bart. - Between the 24th and 28th of June another as sault must have taken place, for it is said that Sir Hugh Wheeler was shot through the leg and died of his wounds, and that the following officers and others were killed :—Quinn, Ensigns Redman and Supple, Ist N. I. ; Captain Halliday, 56th N. I. ; Captain Reynolds and Ensign Prole, 53d N. 1; Lieutenant Smitb, fat N.I. ; Dempster, Cap tain Jervis, 56th N. I. ; Chalwin, and Major • Hillersdon, 53d N. I. The rebels bad at this time conferred the supreme command on Nana Sahib, of Bhitoor, the author of the massacre eerpetrated on -the Futteyghur fugitives, an old pensioner of the British Government and the adopted son of Baja row, Peishwa, at Poona, where the Mabratta rule existed. A reference to Indian history will show you the treachery of Bakerow, his unceasing effort to subvert our Government an the. Deccan, and his hatred to everything British. England generously gave him Bhitoor, and 80 lace of rupees yearly, and allowed him to keep a small park of artillery. These privileges were partly extended to Nana Sah•b, who was de prived of the pension of 80,000 rupees. He seems - to have inherited all the wiliness of a genuine Brahmin. He prof, ssed delight in Euglishsociety, invited English officers to shooting patties at Bhi toor, and concealed under these appearances of friendship a deadly hatred, and more than usual ferocity. The English force, shorn -of its strength by the de tth of its officers, received overtures from this Nana Sahib, on Sunday June 28, and although I can scarcely believe it possible that Englishmen should so far trust to the faith of a Hindoo as they are stated to have done, the details of the surrender are given as follows :—The Na'ia swore, by the oaths usually binding on a Brahmin, that if the garrison would trust him and surrender, their lives would be spared, and they should be allowed to • embark themselves and treasure (2 lacs of rupees) on board of boats and depart down the river to Allahabad. These terms were accepted by the Bri tish, and they were accordingly supplied with b ,ate in which they stowed themselves and embarked their treasure. They were allowed to push out into the middle of the stream, when, at a signal from the Rajah, guns were opened upon them from the right bank of the Ganges. The people in the boats, thus tie ach.erously assailed, made for the left bank, where some of them succeeded in landing, but Stet th met them in another sl ape. A body of ca valry placed there for the purpose charged and cut tbem to pieces. Rumour is silent as to the number of those whe were allowed to take to the boats. I believe that Nana Sillib saved the lives of the women and children that he might have hostages • for his own futpre safety. Ira the meanwhile active preparations had been made at Allahabad for the relief of our countrymen, and the imposing forces were assembled for that purpose. Colonel Neill succeeded in pacifying the town. He recovered a great part of the stolen pro -petty and furniture by issuing a proclamation in which severe punishment was awarded to all per-. sons found in possession of it. Dacoits or gangs of thieves in the neighbourhood were dispersed, and al that were caught 'anted. On the Ist of Juty a column of Madras Fu , iliers and Sikhs, under Major Renaud, started on their way te Cawn pm to clear the road, a steamer, with 100 Fuialiers and two guns, keeping abreast of the f arce and protecting it. A body of Irregular Horse at the same time scoured the villages on the lee, and reported them empty and the zemind.ars absent. Major Renaud drove all part ial opposition before • him, captured several Sepoys of the 6th N. 1., who paid the penalty of their lives, and then made his " way as far as Khags on the 9th. On the 3d, Bri gadier-General Havelock reached Allahabad from Benaree, and proceeded on the 7th to join Major Renaud, by forced marches. He had with him • about 1,300 men of her Majesty's 84th and 610, the 13th Irregular Horse, and - the remnant of 0 ode Iri egulare On the 11th he reached Koh, and on the 13th joined Major Renaud at daybreak, witein four miles of Futteypore. Major Psenaud h-d marched 19 miles during the night, and General Havelock 21. A detachment thrown forward to wards Futteypore with orders for Colonel Tyrler to reconnoitre, was met by the enemy, who marched forthwith to action. General Havelock would have declined this engegement and given rest t his troops, but ha was cempelled to fight, an I therefore • prepared to give the enemy aw rm reception. The rebels came out with a farce of th ee ief Lntry regi • m nts, two of cavalry, and two bate ri sof field pieces. General Havelock advanced with eight guns in the centre, under Capt. Maude, R. A., forming the whole of his infantry in quarter dist mace column in sup' o.t. The action was opened by • the artillery, " which completely electrified tne enemy." They fled, and were pursued am'clit garde es and encioiures into and through the streets of Futteypore ; their guns and ammunition being ai andoned one after the other. Such was the panic that no resistance seems to have been made. Not an English soldier was kiled, and the only deaths we had, to deplore were those of seven men of the 64th, and more of the 78th from sunstroke. The conduct of the troops, in supporting the fatigue of a long march and enduring the heat of a terrible _ sun, was admirable. The enemy lost 11 guns. Speedy advantage was taken of the victory, and en immediate advance made on Cawnpore. Ou the 15th the rebels .were again enconutered, severely bandi e d, a n d d e p r i ve d o f t wo guns. Th e y a we=t defeat and the loss of many lives, and met a third time on the 17th—about 10,000 in " usher, attacked and routed by General' Havelock. They lett s e, ruin s eegr' and flel, abandoning the bla k enedwnpore, which were rs-occupied. , Not a trace of th e was found; had all Wheeler or his men all been killed ; hut still - more terrible to relate, the rebe's had laid their clutches on the 210 ofa,,, ;; a wornen and children.

The movements of General 'Havelock will be - tecured in the rear by the despatch of- fresh troops recently 'arrived at Calcutta. Her Majesty's steamer • . -'SiMOOLI4-- with her Majesty's sth Fusiliers', from Mauritius, reached Calcutta ore the 4th- of -July, • hAfing I fti tio 37th in place of the Fusiliers. her 1 Majesty's 350 had been for some time at Calcut'a from Moulmein, and the Himalaya, with 1,500 ma on board, arrived on the 20th inst. Her Majesty's 29 h was expected fronilsegu every - day. Thus, - independently of the troops that are now expected to be forwarded overland, we shall have a sufficient force to maintain our present positions, and thus s - check the further progress of rebellion. Notwithstanding some partial acts of insubordi nation in--he districts of- Bengal, about Divapore, nothing has occurred to create disturbance of au important nature. Her Majesty's 10th Fo3t at Dinapore has hitherto acted as a check on th native regiments there, and finish's battery of European artillery adds not a little to our security in that direction. An attempt' at a riot in Patna proved unsuccess full on the 6th of July, although it - cost Dr. Lyell, assistant opium commissioner, his life. Mirzapore, desetted by all but the plunderers amongst its own inhabitants, has been restored to order by the energy of a yceing civil servant from Benares, whose initiation to active life in the dis trict was a combat with six or seven rebellious people,' of whom he killed two and wounded the re mainder. The Sontal country is quiet, but was very pro perly adandoned by ladies and children, who were taken board of a steamer and sailed down the Ganges to Calcutta. Until Oude is re-occupied in force and Lucknow relieved, the whole country east of the Jumna up to the hills of Rohilcund will remain closed aeainst us. You may calculate, indeed, that the relief of Lucknow will be the utmost that can be achieved before the periodical rains set in and render opera tions in the field impossible." The monsoon, which usually, commences in June, was this year unusually light, and allowed our troops to move on the disaffected districts north and east of Poonab. But now that the rains are falling in earnest and the rivers filling, military operations must be impeded or partially stopped. The Bombay government have succeeded in assem bling two columns of troops intended to overawe the province of Candeish and the borders of the Nizem's territory in that direction, and occupy the whole of the mountainous tract, including North Berar and part of the Gwalior territory south of the Nerbudda ,• whilst the Madras government assem bled a third column on the north-west frontier of North Berar. The position assigned to the latter is E Ilatad, near Ellichpoor, where Major William Orr has concentrated a force comprising the 2nd, 3rd, and sth infantry regiments of the Hydrabad Contingent, the Ist and 4th cavalry Irregulars of the same corps, and twelve 6 pounder guns. The most important force is destined to relieve Mhow and chastise the Gwalior mutineers and In dore rebels as soon as weather permits military movements. In the meanwhile the troops are as sembled et Asseoghur, or in its vicinity, forming a field force, under Brigadier O. S.- Stuart, 6th Bnn bay NJ., composed as follows :—H.M.'s 14th Light Dragoons, ore wing from Aurungabad ; H.M.'s 86th Foot, 250 men, under Major Keane, from Poona • 3d European., Bombay army; 3 J O men, under Major Landon, from Poonah, via Ah meduuggur ; sth Bombay N. 1., 250 men, under Major Symons, from Malligaun ; 19th Bombay N. 1., two companies, under Lieut. Blair 25th Bombay N.I. ; 3d Irregular Cavalry, Hydrabad Contingent, part at Seerpore, under Captain Orr, part at Asstenghur, under Lieut. Clerk; and a large number of the Bhee.l corps. Berar wilt thus be the bare of operations for ,the army of the Deccan, Boorhampoor and Asseen ghur, on the southern slope of the Boora-Moun tains, being the chief strategic points. • Assecnghur is the key of the Deccan. Thus with the small force at Ajmeer we have a cordon of troops round the disaffected states of In dr re and Gwalior, whose rajahs are favourable to us, but unable to control the men of their contin gents, raised as our own Bengal army has been amongst the Hindoo and Mussulman population of the Ganges valley. • The Nerbudda, however, flows between us and the disaffected states, and this season that river is impassable, except by boats, whilst the • roads become utterly impractic able from „rains. The details of the massacre of Indore (July 2), made public a short time since, are not less horrible than those of other barbarities perpetrated elsewhere. Thirty-four persons were killed, and the majority were so mutilated as to afford no clue to the identity of their bodies. A few only were recognised. Mrs. Beauvais, wife of the postmaster, Mrs. Crawley, a young child, Mr. and Mrs. Norries. Mr. Murray, Mrs. and Miss Macbeth, and five children, Mr. M‘Mahon, two Parsees, Mr. Payne, Mts. Alphonse, Mr. Brooke, Mr. and Mrs. Avery, Mr. and Mrs. Bone. Amongst those who e , capel were—Colonel and Mrs. Darand, Capt. and Mrs. Shakespear, Dr. and Mr=. Knapp, Lieut. and Mrs. Cobbs+, Mrs. ['sober son and two children, and Capt. Ludlow, Col. Travers, Cap*. and Mrs. Mallingot, Col. Stnekley, Mrs. Dutton, Sergeant and Mrs. Murphy, Messrs. H. Hammond and Williams, Mr. Shields, Mr. Martin, Mr. C‘dlins, Mr. O'Brien, Mr. Gallo way, Mr. Norries, Mr. Tinley, Mr. Farrel, Mr. Moran, Mr. Beauvais, Mr. Crawley, Lieut. Water man, and Dr. Thompson. Col. and Mrs. Durand arrived in safety at As seanghur ' • they saw their residence at Indore, an imposing building, buret before their eyes. A detachment of artillerymen, with three guns, and contingent infantry, sent out by the rajah to pro tect the place, went over to the rebels and assisted them in their sanguinary purpose. Mr. Beauvais, the postmaster, saw his wife massacred before his eyes. The Neemuch mutineers, who bad lingered in the vicinity a Ajmeer, tookl a sudden resolution and occupied 13huttpore, from which they issued again in the first days of July and made their ap pearance before Agra. They called on the English commissariat contractor, John Persand, to furnish them with provi4ona. This was a timely warning to the people in Agra, who alrandoned. the city and retired into the fort, a vast and commodious edifice of considerable ex tent, in which the 3d Bengal Europeans, ,a battery of artillery militia ' and non-combatants to the amount of 5,000, found plenteous, supplies and refuge without overcrowding. On the 2d of June the K.,tah Contingent de-patched by the authori ties to keep order in the vicinity of Agra, arrived in the contonments, and were entrusted with the guard of the gaol, tenanted by 4,000 convicts, and that of the Government house. On the 4th the Neemuch mu:iueers appe rred before the city, and the`Kotah Contingent was marched out of canton ments to an advanced position on the h gh road. _They no sooner reached the ground in front of the enemy than they showed a disposition to join the Neemuch mutineers. "Just about this time," says a correspondent, "a small body of mounted volunteers (about 40) who had been previously sent to watch the proceedings of the enemy, little sus pecting the true state of matters, rode up to this formidable fee ce, and to their astonishment found them preparing for an attack. The volunteers halted, and for a fine stool faring the Kotah men. What ihe seine' might have been it is hard to say, had not the God of the Chris tians interposed in behalf of his people, and sent a heavy sto•m, accompanied with rain, at the critical moment, which darkened the atmosphere, and the volunteer; were d reeled to seek shelter. After the lapse of a few minutes the Koteh Contingent, fear ing, it is -said, au ambush from the European regi ment here (the 3d Europeans), dispersed in all directions; observing this, some of the volunteers, about 10 in number, made a dash for the guns, which they succeeded in taking after cutting down a number of the mutineers. The nuns were spiked. The formidable Kotah Contingent,'' so much dreaded by some of our authorities here, though we bad a strong battery of artillery and a regiment of Euro pean troops able and willing enough to annihilate the whole of them, fled, and left the field, with the guns, and some 100 or 150 camels laden with am mnnition, in the undisputed Possession of some mounted volunteers." The following is a correct abstract of the casual ties that occurred in the action on the sth July, when the European force moved out to attack the rebels, who were 7,000 strong. It will be acknow ledged that the fighting must have been severe, sesiug that a full quarter of the men engaged were placed hors de combat. The Artillery had two officers wounded (Captain D'Oyley, since 'dead, and Lieut. Lamb), 3 men ki led, and 14 wounded, including 6 native drivers. The 3d European Regiment had 29 men killed ; 3 officers (Major Thomas. and Lieut.. Pond and Fellowes) and 64 men wounded, of whom 10 have since died. - The Civil-Lines Infantry Militia had five gentle men killed (Messrs. O'Connor, C. Horn, P. Horn, J. Carl ton, R. Smith, and Jourdan), one 'officer (Major Prendergast), and eight gentlemen (Messrs White, Ray, :Blackburn°, Bramley, C. S. , Freeze, Outram, C.S., and Oldfield, C.S.), wounded. The Civil Liriei Infantry Militia hid one aentle man (Mr. I3teies) killed a and five gentlemen e ' (Mess. s. Bagley, Mahye, Steadman, Hallygau, and Foville) wounded. The unattachel officers, &c., had 6 wounded, tze.l:l--ts.Captain W. Al-xander, 10th Light Cavalry; Caonecikbouri, Williams and Bramley, Dr. (.) i i l t i luctor Hunter.

In 1826 it was taken after six weeka of open trenches. by an assault, which cast us 550 killed and wounded. The mud walls may yet witness a third no leis dangerous and tedious siege. The safe arrival of intellig-nce from Agra shows that communications are still kept up between it and Lahore, but the country in the vicinity is in the hands of the plunderers and rebels •of every kind. The Meerut force was unable to prevent the Robilcund rebels from crossing the Juwna at G hur muktesur Ghaut, although the height and preci pitous nature of the banks were favourable to the use of artillery. The mutineers—about 3,000 in fantry, 200 cavalry, several guns, 13 elephant?, and cart-loads oftreasure—crossed the river on rafts be- tween the 20th and 23d of June, and made their way unmolested towards Delhi, reaching the village of Haupper on the 27th. A nephew of the King of Delhi collected a num ber of rebels in the vicinity of Boolundshuhur, ob tained four guns, and proclaimed himself a royal commissioner. He to )k up a position in a tort at Galoutee, about thirty miles from Meerut, and placed his guns on the walls. A force was sent out against him. which he did not wait to see, taking refuge in a precipitate flight, and leaving his guns behind him. It will astonish you to hear that the nature of the orders given in this case was such that the officer in command did not enter the deserted fort, and left the guns where he found them, with out rendering them unserviceable. It is gratifying, on the other hand, to know that the mutiny at Saugor has not been so fatal as was at first anticipated, and that a party of the troops which remained staunch, after the rebellion of the greater number, followed Major Gaussen 2 on the 23d of June, to the assault of a neighbouring fort, occupied by a number of Boondela plunderers. The fort was blown up, but unfortunately durieg the operation Ensign Spens was killed by a stone on the head, and Lieut. Willoughby wounded. A letter from Hasungabad announces the safe arrival there, from Augur in Gwalior of the follow ing officers and their families, fugitives from the mutinous contingent regiments :—Major Macpher son, Lieutenant Ryall, and Dr. Silliphant, of tte 3rd Gwalior Infantry • Captain Carter, Lieutenant M'Dougal, and Dr. Wilson, of the sth Gwalior In fantry ; Lieutenant Lemarchant, Bengal Artillery, Mrs. Lemarchant, and four children-; • Mr: and Mrs. Hayman, Mr. and, Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Burlton and one child, Mrs. Watts, Mr. Wake field, Mrs. Wakeield, and two children ; Dr. and Mrs. James, and Lieutenant O'Dowd. The Madras presidency still shares with that of Bombay the good fortune of having staunch native troops, but disturbances have broken out in the capitals of Mysore and the Nizatn'e dominions. Troops have been sent from Bangalore to Mysore, where fears are ent-rtained respecting the attitude of the Rajeh's Mahommedan troops. Whilst such *has been-the history of the fortnight in the Lower Provinces of India, events of no lass importance have taken place in the north-west. In a speech delivered at the Town-hall of Bombay, on the occasion of a meeting for, the purpose of sub scribing afund for the relief of the sufferers•by this rebellion, Lord Elphinstone sta'ed. that Sir John Lawreuee was organising a force 35,000 levies in the Upper Provinces, which would be ready. at no remote period. Such a force, recruited amongst the Sikhs, is likely to be of the utmost service in our present dearth of men ; and the Punjaub troops, which we have bad occasion to test in battle before Delhi, have proved themselves trusty and brave soldiers. Letters from Lahore informs us I that recruits are numerous, and that the formation of regiments is rapidly proceeding. Reinforcements have continued t 3 stream down southwards towards Delhi. On the 26th, 'the Kumaon battalion (Ghoorkas);marched from Rawul Pin fee, after being complimented for their good conduct by Sir John Lawrence. They reached Lahore on the 34 of July, and have no doubt gone .on to Delhi. The Government has found the-e Nepaulese mountaineers extremely useful, from their gallantry and the absence of those prejudices which render high caste men dangerous. A. large body of them seems to have been successfully en listed in the neigsbourhood of Benares. A party of them have dune excellent service before Delhi, and it cannot but_ appear advantageous to secure the service of a greater number who might be easily obta'nable, since Jung Babadeor, of Nepaul, had occasion to disband most of his army, now useless to him after h's successful inroad in Thibet. When the 66th Bengal Native Infantry mutinied after the late Sikh war, Sir Charles Napier secretly and rapidly enlisted a regiment of Ghoorkas, march ed them down to Umritsir, and having drawn them up in front of the 66th, ordered the latter to sur render their arms and c 'lours.. The sepoys did so, and the Ghoorkas took them up. "Now," said Sir Charles to the old 66th, "go about your busi ness." The Ghoorkas took the number, and have kept it. They are now at Almorah, and have done good service in keeping Nynee Tal against the in roa is of the Bareilly rebels. The Beloochec battallon from Kurradhee arrived at Mooltan on the 9th of July, and the Bombay Fusiliers reached Lahore. on the 11th. Several do tachments for the reinforcement of the guides and Irregular Horse, under Hodson, were also de spatched without delay. The country to the north and north-east of Delhi seems to have been completly pacified by Geuer rl van Cortlandt's force. The enemy that genet ?A had to contend with seems rather to have consisted of insubordinate robb r tribes than of mutineers from Jullunder. The villages in which the engagemen S took place, as noticed in my last letter, were at a considerable distance from each other, and the attack on each of thorn not simultaneoue as was before believed. The first attack made by the ineurgeetse-- Bhutties—was near a village called Punou walla!). They numbered about 2,500. On being reconnoitred there by a detachment .of mounted polide under Lieutenant Pearse, they followed that officer to wards the camping ground of the main body at Aodah. Aa they approached our artillery opened upon them, and when tee fire had thrown them into confusion, Lientenent Pearse charged, and completely routed them. They fled, leaving 50 dead on the field. Teis action took place on the nth June. On the 19th a second one was fought near Kbeiraka, a village on the Go;era, which flews but a short distance and disappears beaea h the level of the sands, Cheiraka was entrenched, and. surrounded by a moat. It was found neeeszaay to make an assault. The Dograa, a friendly tibe, under L'ettenant Sadleir, of her Majesty's 61st Foot, a Sikh detachment, under Lieutenant Hunt, of the 45th Bengal Native Infan ry, furnishing the necessary detsi's of men, they crossed the mea', and scaled the place successfully, and put 200 of the. Bliuttees ti death, Six me•n ou our side were killed and 33 wounded. This action decided the fate of Sirsar, and produced an unconditional surrender of the hostile tribe. It was discovered, ou entering the town, that it had been completely sacked on the 30th' of May by a body of Hairline Infantry and Irregular Horse under the orders of the petty Nawaub of Raneahe who plundere 1 the treasuries and des royed the property of Europeans and Chris tians. The Nawaub now surrendered, and the whole district between Sirsar and LoOdianah was pacified. The revenue was again collected round Sir sar, and a regular course of post organised, which might shortly, it was expected, open a direct route between Lahore and Delhi. On the Bth July Gen. Van Cortlandt left Sirsar for Ghissar, where Lieut. Pearce arrived before him with 1,500 Bsbantier Horse, and put everything in order. All the Mus sulmans were under orders to surrender their arms, and it was generally believed that the direct com munication with Delhi would be open on the 18th at furthest. This fortunate termination to the c em paign amongst a people inhabiting wild and sandy deserts subject to great scarcity of wa'er will place a new force at the command of General Reed, C. 8., now at the head of the ar.ny before Delhi, in con sequence of the death, :from cholera, of General Barnard on the 6:11. of July. The sudden death of Sir Henry Barnard was the more melancholy because it was thoroughly unex pected, his surprising activity and vigour of frame having kept him up surprisingly until the sudden attack of cholera carried him off. Sir Henry is admitted on all hands to have had many of the first qualities fir command, his (energy and slirit being as remarkable as his great hardiness and cheerful demeanour. Unfortunately he was unacquainted with the languages and neany of the peculiarities of Indian armies, and is said to have been too de pendent in consequence on the advice of others, which imparted a slight, wavering character to his military tactics. A most interesting narrative, officially commu nicated to Government by Lieut.mant Forrest, gives an accurate de alit at last with respect to the blowing : of the magazine at Delhi on the out break of the mutiny. Lieutenant Forrest shares with Lieutenant Willoughby the honour of this brave action. On the morning of the rebellion these two officers and Sir C. Metcalfe were in the arsenal when they heard of the treachery of the native sepoys, and they took instant measures to check their advance upon the arsenal. Sir C. Met whq.laaril ;one out to see the extent of move ment, did ekot retu , n. Lieuteurost Forrest closed ,and Ishecte ee t up the gates, placing two six-pounder prig &early loaded with grape under _ sub condue:ccee Crow end Sergeant Stewart, so as to consme.rid the entraeee: Two more six-pounders were paced in a similar pos , t'on in front of t he inv a d e of the inagaziele gate, pro' ected by a row of nevaua: de frise. - For further defence two six- , pouedere w' retrained to command either the gate or_ the asnall bastion in ies vicinity,• other guns being so arranged as to increase the strength of the positiop Theie preparations had hardly. 1, - () RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. DON!, MoND % ENING, AUGUST 3l, 1-67 been concluded when a body of mutineers ap peared, and called on the defenders to open t} gates. On their refusal, scaling ladders furhigre by the_King of Delhi were brought up, and thk rebels got on the 'walls and poured on to the a— senal. The guns now opened and took effect wit immense precision on the ranks of the enemy. Four rounds were fired from each of the guns, Conduc tors Buckley Mid Scully distinguished themselve in serving the pieces rapidly, the mutineers being by this time some hundreds in number, increasing in force and keeping up a quick discharge of mus ketry. A train had been hid by Lieutenant 1 loughby to the magazine ; and the decisivE.momeir soon approached, Lieut. Forrest being woundt-d is the baud, and one of the conductors shot through the arm. The signal was given to fire the train, which was done coolly by Conductor Scully. The effect was terrific ; the magazine blow up with a tremendous crash, the wall being blown out flat to the ground. The explosion killed upwards of a thousand of the mutineers, and enabled Lieuts. Willoughby, Forrest, and more than half the Euro pean defenders of the place, to fly together, black ened and singed, to tire Lahore gate, from wheriee Lieut. Forrest escaped iu safety to Meerut. Lieut. Willoughby was less fortunate, and is now said to have been killed on his way to Umballa. From Lucknow we hear that previous to th death of Sir John Lawrence that gallant and un rtunate officer headed a sortie with all his native troops, 200 Europeans, and artillery. The sepoys fraternised at once with the rebels, and the Euro peans in their retreat to the city lost 40 officers and men. - ooking and hear them talking, yet it was too dark h,r them to see us. The forts at. this place extend about 14 miles down the river. Just as we hadigot iist the moon rose. While passing we came within ive fifth ota boat, but our toatmen happened to :now those of the other boat,- so they asked where each other were going, and never saw us at the bottom of the boat. Capt. Gord- -, n's servant was dinost frightened to death, and 1. had the greatest ifficulty in keeping him quiet. A nigger is a great oward when danger is near. As soon as the day began to break ..we had to lie by a sandbank, for there w,re some forts, and we were within two rules . of the first fort. We bad nothing to eat the whole .f the day before, any] now our food was flour and ,eater bakel in a fire wi - h dried cows' dung, and muddy water to drink. We remained there until 4 p.m., when we saw about 50 villagers running with all their might towards us—some with guns, thers with swords; and the remainder with clubs ; we immediately put into the stream and cockedour pistol - 8, saw the .rascals• run into the water breast high, when they stopped and fired a volley at us, -put fortunately without effect. It was too evident the whole country had risen, and that escape across the country was impossible. After pulling a short way down the river the natives, seeing they could net get at us, ceased their pursuit. We then h dyed until dark to enable us to pass the forts ; often the boatincn told us not to whisper, but to kee down ready for an attack, for we had often to go close in shore, and were determined to fight through if possible. Next morning we had to stay in a creek (dose Iy a village called Gola ; but before arriving there we were made to put in shoie at a large vil lage, where we paid 10 rupees to a policeman to !et us off. The boatmen said it was no use firing, rupees would answer bet Before the policeman put his head in the boat the men told him it was a yanna,' but as soon as - he got into the boat and saw five fellows armed to the teeth he was well pleased to take the ' dibs,' and shouted for us to proceed im- mediately. Tile people on shore slnuted out for him to rob the boat, but he know better. -At Gola we were so tired that we all fell a-tleep, and upon my awaking I discovered that all the boatmen and our only servant had run away, taking with them the, few rupees we had. However, there was a large village close by, where a native prince and an indigo planter (a Frenchman) resided, so we set cff to walk in a blazing hot sun. The prince happened to be one of the few remaining faithful - to the British, and the planter seeing the wh ,, le country up around him agreed to start, with his wife a:11 farniT, along with us the following rooming. We vot the first meal there that we had had f:r thtee days, and from that place our diet was spare and bad,. and the water extremtly dirty. lire hid a guard of 30 Sepoys from the Rajah to take us to Dinapore, for we had to pass a very strong fort about 10 wiles below Qola, and it was on account of this place, no dOubt; that our boatmen deserted us on the previous day. However, we got on all right after this, and arrived here on the wonting of the 17th, when we heard that many officers who lett Fyz +bad on the moriing of the 9111 had been murdered and droWned. jUpon our arrival here we were received most heartily by the officers of the Bth Native Infantry, who do their ulmost to make us comfortabl4. All the ladies were left at Fyzabad under the charge of Raj .:Ii Mann Singh, who pro mised to protect them, but, as he was our prisoner within two days of the mutiny, I doubted his fidelity. I was to have remained with the ladies at Fyzabad, but as my regiment promised to fight I was kept with it, and then sent off with the other officers. Almost all the ladies arrived here last night from Fyzabad in a pitiful condition. They had been - rubbed of everything at Gorrickpore, and only escaped with their lives. They were kept tri soners in a fort on the river for a week, and were almast starvel to deat'i. I cannot describe half the miseries they have endured. " I have lost nearly everything I have, but Ad . ju'ant Grant, of ae Bth Nativa Infantry, with whom Gordon and myself are staying, has given us abundance of shirts, fininels &c., and he is a noble specimen of a Scotch man. We seem to have escaped by Providence, as almost every man who started with us from Fyzabad has been either murdered or drowned. To give you an account of men coming up the country and the way in which Europeans are murdered and natives hung in return would occupy too much lime, but every day brings us some fresh account of bloodshed." GREAT NORTHERN. [The following appeared in our late editi o n o f S a t ur d a y evening :—] Tuonalf-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was held this morning, at the London Tavern, Bishopzate-Areet, W.• E. benison, chairman of the board, in the chair. Then, was a very full attendance of shareholders. The chairman and direct3rs, on enter ing the room, were received with a volley of hisses and cheers, and the meeting throughout was of a very stormy character. The SECRETARY having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said that the act of Parliament made it eampulrory on the chairman, the first thing at the half yearly meeting, to affix the seal of the company to the register of shareholders. He had no option in the matter, and he therefore affixed the seal and signed his name to the register of stoc's, amounting to 8,414,0f21. 108., and the number of shareholders 6,130, as reported by Mr. Grindling. Mr, J. WiLsoN—Can you do it without the authority of the meeting? . _ Mr. LEECH (solicitor to the company)—Yes, the act requires that it should be first done. Mr. WILSON said the act only stated that the seal should be affixed at each ordinary half-yearly meeting. Nothing whatever was said about the chairman, and he maintained that the consent of the meeting was ne cessary first to be obtained before the seal was affixed. (The Chairman in the meantime affixed the seal to the register.) The Chairman having affixed the seal to the register, Mr. Wilson protested, and called on the professional gentlemen present to state to the meet ing- if the act gave the chairman power to affix the seal against the consent of the shareholders. (Rear.) The CHAIRMAN said he saw no use in consuming their, time in a discussion of that nature. He had put the seal to the register, and they'could not reject it. (Uproar.) He had acted in what he bad done under professional advice, and he shoal .stand by it whether right or wrong. (Oh, ob.) The act stated that at every bail yearly meeting the seal should be affixed, and he had been informed that it was a ministerial act only, and necessary to constitute-the meeting. (Hear, hear, and No, ao ) It was waste of time to discuss it, and those who objected to it could protest and welcome. (Uproar ) Mr. WILSON protested against the proceeding, and appealed to he meeting to express their opinion on that point, when nearly every one in the room hell up their bands in approval of Mr. Wilson's pr...itest. Mr. HUGHES said that it it was,a ministerial act the chairman was right in doing it. A SHAREHOLDER. —What is the effect of yuur affixing the seal ? - Tue CHAIRMAN.—That's a legal question I can't an swer (Upr , ar.) A SHAREHOLDER said the chairman ought to be in possession of that opinion. The act involved an im portant question affecting the interestof the shareholders. Mr. MzTeaLis.—How are we to know that the regis ter is cum ct ? (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN—I have stated to yon M. Grindling's report.. (Oh, oh.) Mr. METCALFE.— W hat do we care for that. Will you vouch fur the truta of Mr. Grindling's statement ? The CHAIRMAN. —I don't know. (Confusion.) Mr. M ETCALFE —And you don't care. (Laughter.) Mr. BILLINGS asked the chairman if he caul.) give the meeting the details of tee various stuck to which he had affixed the seal. The CHAIRMAN—NO. Mr. BILLINGS asked how it was possible, without that information, the shareholders could know whether all the stock was legal, or that the creation of fraudu lent stock was not going on. (Hear, hear.) He c -n -tended that the shareholders should have the information he asked for. (Hear, bear, and confusion.) The CHAIRMAN said he was ready to proceed. A SHAREHOLDER—On what. Hear, hear.) Mr. BILLINGS—Answer my question. (Elear, hear, and cheers ) The CHAIRMAN—I shall answer no more questions about the r gister to which I have put the seal. (Ob, oh, and cheers.) The greatest confusion prevailed during the above dis cussion, or rather continual questioning, three or four shareholders speaking at a time. Mr. STAINSBORY said it was not a waste of time in one sense in discussing this question of affixing the seal to the regi tsr, because it sho wed the chairman that he had ta'rly lost the confidence of the shareholders. (Heap.) There was a time when the Chairman could have affixsd the stal to the register or ail other document, the c.m fidence of the proprietors being with hiin ; but what had occurred within the last five months ought to have shown him that that confidence was now entirely gone. (Loud cheers.) No time could be considered as wasted that might tend to relieve them of their present Chairman, and to redeem, save, and rescue this vast property from the present disastrous management. (Renewed cheers.) He did not charge the Chairman with personal culpabi lity in connection with the frauds, but he considered him guilty of the grossest moral dereliction of duty it was possitle . for any man to be guilty of. (Cheers ) 111 r. HUGHES said that as there was nothing before the meeting he was prepared to move a vote of censure He bad heard it was the intention of the Chairman to move the adjournment of the meeting, and he asked if that was true. The CHAIRMAN—Yei. I have 'virtually - done so. Mr. HUGEIES said he would advise the chairman not to propose the adjournment of the meeting because it would prevent any shareholder from moving an amend ment on it—(hear, hear)—although notice of two or three bad been given to impugn the character of the chairman. (Hear, hear.) He asked the•chairman if he would venture out of respect to his own character to put a motion for adjournment to the meeting which would' prevent the shareholders from expressing their opinion on his conduct. (Hear, bear.) It would be better to adjourn the consideration of the dividend, and let them take the other part of the report into consideration, but for God's sake don't adjourn the meeting. (Cheers.) Mr. J. WILSON—For Gyd's sake let him. (Hear, and laud laughter.) Mr. MALINS expressed a hope that the chairman would not propose the adjournment of the meeting. (Hear.) He hoped they would go on and discuss the report, be cause although they had met with a heavy loss. the pro perty was sound. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HUGHES suggested that he should be allowed to move a vote of censure, and the directors move the, ad journment of the meeting thereon. The CHAIRMAN said he was asked by Mr. Hughes if he intended to move the adjournment of the tneetieg, and he answered that he did, and if Mr. Hughes had been content with a plain simple answer to a plain question, and had sat down, he (the Chairman) should have made such observations thereon as occurred to him, and then it would have been competent fur / Mr. Hughes to have replied to them, but that gentleman having got an answer to his question from him—(the Chairinan)— as a matter of courtesy, had thought proper to make some remarks thereon. The practical question for their consideration would, be the adjournment of the meeting as he ad given notice. In that he intended to persevere, and would,give his reasons for so doing when it would be for the shareholders to resist the tuix.ion or not, just as they liked. (Hear.) Mr. Hughes was right in his statement that an amendment could not be moved on the motion for adjournment. (Hear.) Mr. HUGEIES—I rise to order. The Cifeenuer —You are out of order in rising to order, because I think I am in order Mr. HUGHES said it was an universal thing to tell a person that he was out of order in rising to a point of order. He wanted to ask the legal adviser of the company this question. (C infusion.) The CHAIRMAN--I shan't allow him to answer any question. (Renewed uproar.) Mr. HUGHES—Then I ask you The CHAIRMAN—I shall not, nor will I allow -.Mai to anseer questions likely to interrupt the proceedings, if I can help it. (Hear, hear, and uproar.) Mr. HUGHES—If it is legal now to move an amend ment for the adjournment, of the meeting, I appeal to the meeting if the amendments should not be taken in their order of notice., (Hear, hear.) If so the motion of censure should betaken first. (Hear, and uproar.) The CHAlRMAN—Certainly not, and I will anticipate the answer to your question by now moving the adjourn ment. I will now do it without making any observa tions, but I will not be stopped in moving it. (Uproar.) Mr. HEATH objected to the chairman moving the ad journment of the meeting. Mr. Malins was iu the pos session of the chair, and was about to move a resolu tion, when he was interrupted by some hon. pri prie• tor introducit g some observations. The CHAIRMAN said such was not the case. So long as he was chairman uothtng should deter-him from doing his duty. (Uprear, and cries of " You shan't be long.') Hon. proprietors, would not make him quail by the 'ob servations they had made. He bail not the honour of knowing that gentleman (Mr. Steinsbury). Mr. STAINSBURv—I am thankful for it. (Laughter.) The CHAIRMAN said he could not say he was very sorry for it. (Laughter.) Mr.WreisoeT—He.knows Mr. Josiah Wilson very well. (Hear, and laughter ) The CHAIRMAN—Yes, be knows more of him than he approves. Mr. Wilson had been driven to the painful necessity of taking him (the chairman) into a court of justice to admit that he did not slander his character. It was the chairman's duty to open the proceedings, and ,by it he would stand and not give.way on the point. Mr. BILLINGS—You have opened the proceedings, and now you want to abruptly close them. (Uproar.) Mr. WlLSON—Suppose we show the chairman that we will not pass the adjournment for the present. (Uproar.) The CHAIRMAN said be had one other proposition to make to the meeting; viz., that ho would either move the adjournment at once without observations, divide the meeting. and go to the poll at once—(oh, oh)—or preface it with some observations that had occurred to, him. Several shareholders rose and addressed the chairman in an excited and energetic manner. As soon as silence was obtained, ' The CHAIRMAN said that he was not to be driven from his intention, if he remained there for a month, tOb, oh, and hisses.) He contended that, notwlth4tandibg the difference of opinion that prevailed with reference to the right of the-preference shareholders, he was cer tain that everybody in the room must rejoice at the progressive prosperity of the railway. (Hear, hear, and cries of " No, no,") Why they could not dispute the fact—(cries of "Yes, we can") —that the traffic on the line increased, and bet for those unfortunate frauds a better dividend would haNe been offered than had even been paid at this period of the year. He asserted, and in that he was confirmed by Mr. Malin's, that the rail way was in a healthy and sound condition, and if they would endeavour to avoid such unfortunate squabbles as they now witnessed, ho was certain their property would rise in value in the market, as he was sure they ought to stand higher tha n the y unfortunately now did. With reppeot to the parties who had had money lodged in this railway for a 'considerable number of years, and who did not intend to sell out, it would not make a great difference in the end except the loss of a portion of their dividend ; but as the value of the property re mained just as good as ever, he hoped they woad firmly stand by it, because he was sure it was very nearly, tf not quite, the best railway property in the kingdom. (Hear, hear.) The parties for whom he and the directors felt the greatest sympathy 'sere ttose woo relied prin cipally on the dividends in which their property was embarked,- viz., widows, and many persons wliso were depending for money on trustees, who could not sell out the stock, and bail no means of raising money for them. (Rear, hear.) He seriously coinrniserated their unfor tunate positisn, hut he confessed he could not help it. (Cries of " You could have helped it.") He begged and entreated every person connected with the raiisvay to look calmly, and, if they cmild, di.nassionately on this painful subject. After referring to the remarks that had been made on the directors both at meetings that had been held in connection with the company, and by the press, though he admitted they had a right to coin' ment on the conduct of the directors, and he found no fault with hon. gentlemen who gratified themselves by pitching into him, (Hear.) They were welcome to do it for a month, and he should stand just a, unmoved as he was at present, and he told the meeting that as soon as a majority of the shareholders wished it he would re tire, but not before that. (Lieu.) The hon. gentleman then entered into a detailed statement of the Itedpath frauds, the meeting. that h a d b een h e ld i n consequen ce, and the proceedings in Parliament, and in reference to the decision of Sir W. Page Wood, said it was the intention of the directors to appe%l against it, and _he moved the adj liniment of the meeting to such time, but nut more than 10 days after the decision of the appeal in Chancery. Mr. WILSON—That will be for seven years. (Hear.) Mr. PACKS (director) seconded the motion. A lengthened discussion, in which much personal feel ing was manifested, then took place, having reference to the proceedings in Parliament and in the Vine - Chancellor's Court. Some amusement was created in consequence of Mr. Valentine Knight calling Mr. Denison, Q.C. (the chairman's son) the "Young May Moon„" in reply to which, Mr. Denison, in his speech, charged Mr. Knight with "squirting out venous ous observations." The meeting called upon the learned gentleman to withdraw his offensive observations, and amidst much confusion a n d l aug ht er we un d ers t oo d both hon. gentlemen withdre v any offensive expressions they might have used to each other. In the discussion that ensued it was urged that the directors onght not to use proxies given in favour of the report in support of the adjournment, because many did , not receive the notice of adjournment till it was too late to send or cancel their proxies, and Mr. Malints sug' geated a kind of u)mprotnise, by the shareholders taking a dividend of 1/ in-toad iif 2f., which would enable the directors to p iy the preference shareholders in full. The CHAIRMAN, in reply, read the terms of the proxies, which he said gave the directors authority to use them for an adjournment. When the chairman was about to put the motion se' veral shareholders attempted to address the meeting, one of them, Mr. Heath, protested against the law proceed" ings, and asked if the decision in the Vice-Chancellor g Court had been in favour of the directors, they would have appealed, on which the chairman, who was much excited, exclaimed "Do you think I'm such a d—d fool as to answer such a question." This was met with loud cries of order, and that a religious man and a magistrate ought to be ashamed of using such eV pressions, and he was cabled on to retract. The u tmost confusion prevailed, amidst whish the Chairman put the question, when the amendment for the adjournment wa s lo't on a show of hands ; but this result was reversed 00 a p ill, in which the directors used their proxies. A report from a committee of investigation, appointe d in March last, was presented, but its consideration wa s deferred. The meeting shortly after separated. M ADRAS.

Son day, the Bth June. Capt. Gordon and myself ware prisoners at the quarter-guard all night. Aboir• 3 o'clock on the morning of the lth we were told to prepare to go to the river, and were only allowed to take achange of clothes, when we were put on board a little country boat and told to shift for ourselves. There wera four boat, and in one of them were our Colonel, Captain Gordon, and my self, and one officer of the artillery, and one of the 22d. Col. Goldney and the remaining officers were in the other boat.. In this manner we start€d. Before we had got far down the river we saw ihe officers of the 22t1 had got iivo an English cuter, and were sailing away at a great rate, s ) we put in shore and got a larger boat and some boatmen to pull. Iu the afternoon we passed them, and on we went until we came near a fort °ldled Tandah, by which no boats are allowed to go and all Euro peans aro killed. As we passed down the liver e bad to lie in the botfaam of the boat, for if we had been recognised we should have '.seen murdered. About go sixashore miles by some below Adjudhei we were ordered to policemen, but we told the boatmen t n o tghoeya saidead teyashif they did not heir them,; would shoot us ; but we still kept on, as wa 1 - 1 . .d.a good stiff breeze in our . fav,ur. About six miles further we mine upon the reir-guard•of the 17th Native Infantry, which wa , na a: ch;ng towards Fyzabad, and here they had mus kets piled and sew ries who looked and shouted at the lariat, but, not seeing any Euro p eans, did nor, make much noise. Two miles further on the saw six Irregular Cavalrymen on the bank of the river, and although they looked hard at toe boat, and shouted, yet none fired. When within teu miles of Tandah we had to halt unti l dark, so as to p ass the fort ; h€re Captain bearer and one of the boatmen ran away, abd I had to bring the only servant we had and the four •remaining bowmen dawn the .b ink. int' the boat. at the point of my sword ; talking to' them was o f no use. Passin g Tandah we had. to g 29 yards of the shlie. The water was so Sha l low we coull see the natives. SE ET APORE. N. H. It. says—" I have as yet seen no account in the papers of the mutiny of the 41st Regiment at this station, excepting the report that the major and several officers had fallen ; and the following particulars, which I will condense from two letters received from an officsr of that regiment and his wife, may be interesting to those who may have had friends or rela , ives at that station. The mutiny broke out on the 31 June. A Sepoy came in the morning of that day to acquaint my friend of the &termination of the soldiers to mutiny, but stated that they would not harm their officers if they would leave the place. The regiment was divided, a part being stationed about a mile and a half from the others, and as more plunder was to be had in the town itself the mutineers first attacked it. The Colonel, although warned by a friendly Sepoy, would not believe that the regiment intended ' to mutiny, and conducted two of the dis ippointed companies to the treasury, andthere he and auot er officer were shot. The sergeant-major was also killed, and one other officer wounded. The officers had received orders, of course, to remain with their men, but on hearing the firing in the town the men at once disbanded themselves, rushing there to join in Ihe plunder. A few faithful Sepoys now implo ted the officers to escape, end, seeing the bunga!ows‘ and lines in a blaze, they. left about noon in their bugg . es. The party consisted of 12 officers, 6 ladies, and as many children, with a number of the wives and children of civilians—about 50 in all. Dur ing their journey they had to avoid the high road, and were obliged to go over ravines, ploughed fields, and places where no wheeled carriage could ever before have passed. The party halted for an hour only and were pursued by the mutineets, alter they had satiated themselves by murdering about 50 people in the town, men, women, # ana children '; but fortunately they reached Lucknow, a distance of 50 miles, in safety, escorted by 20 Sepoys who remained faithful to them. The party were two days and a night ern the road, and the heat was intense. They lost all they possessed, and escaped with only the things they had'on. The station was burnt to the ground. _ "My friend, with his wife and family, wen, when he wrote, staying with a civilian at Lucktiow, entirely dependent upon the kindnes3 of a stranger not only for f,od, but for clothing.

Dear Sir,—Oar child, up to the age of eleven weeks, was very delicate and wasting away, and milk, sago, and arrowroot turned sour on its stomach, causing great suffer ing. We then fed it upon Du Barry's Revaleuta Arabica, which agreed wonderfully with her ; and she is vow, at the age of nine mouths, a plump and lively little girl.—Daniel Scrvas. Wildervank,. Holland, Sept. 20, 1853. Dear Sir,• Our baby, which Heaven presented us with ten monthsback, was attacked, when four weeks old, with a disease of the stomach and glands, by which our seven . previous infants had all been carried off, and this last child seemed destined to follow its sisters and brothers before many days, for our doctor, a very able practitioner, had, during three weeks, ex hausted all his skill, and was at • a loss what to prescribe next, when he advised Du Rarry's Revalenta Arabica, which, I am happy to say, worked a great change for the better in a few days ; and, in six weeks' time; the child was perfectly well, and is now a cheerful, blooming boy—a source of the greatest happiness to us all. This delicious remedy May fairly be considered one of the greatest. blessings ever disco vered.—With eternal gratitude, yours, &e., L. H. Vaalinan.
