0 - U . , LON' D O ' N, THURSDAY EVENIING, OC tOBER 1, 1857 THE MUTINIES IN INDIA. THE MUTINY IN THE 27ra BOMBAY NATIVE INFANTRY. The mutiny of a portion of the 27th regiment Bombay N.I. has been effectually suppressed. The measures adopted by the an:horities were prompt in the extreme, and the timely arrival of Europeans at the Presidency, enabled them to crush, in the very bud, a conspiracy whose ramifications might have extended far and wide. We are glad to learn: that the mutiny was not of any general or organised character, but altogether the result of local irritation. The mutineers only amounted to about 200 men, and were principally Mahrattas and Purdassees—the former of whom had been engaged in the Wares rebellion of 1844. The mutiny broke out on the evening of the 31st July. A great uproar and con tinued firing in the lines of the 27th were the first inti mations which the officers received of anything being wrong. The native adjutant warned Major Rolland to take care of himself, or the consequences might be fatal, and the same officer's mother proceeded at once to Mrs. Rolland, and managed to get her away. The poor old lady, however, paid for her honest devotion with her life, as the savages at once slew her when they found the bungalow empty. God bless her, say we !--attachment like hers almost Inclines us to nsercy. It is to be hoped that Government will reward her gallant son, and if any honour can be paid to his dead mother, we trust that the State will take care that it is done, as Kee proved herself to be indeed one in a thousand. Peace be with her ashes ! The emeute commenced about ten o'clock in the evening, and the mutineers proceeded in parties to the respective houses of their officers. The native adjutant and two bavildare bad, however, anticipated them, and the intended victims escaped. On reaching Major Rolland's bungalow they fired two volleys into it, at the same time making use of the most shocking lan guage. Upon learning what was going forward Capt. M'Culloch hastened down to the lines, and managed to gather round him about 50 men. They would, however, neither fire nor obey his orders in any way, so be was compelled to beat a retreat. In the meantime Lieu tenant Stubbs and Ensigns Innes and Broughton had run towards the quarter guard and the other gnarls, calling upon the men to follow them ; but the endeavour wee vain. The mutineers by threats of instant death made numbers join then. They then plundered the tumbril of 45,000 rupees and the stores of several thousand rounds of cartridges. While all this was going on the Kolapore Infantry and a small party of the Southern Mahratta Horse came up and surrounded the mess-house. Some 50 of the 27th, still faithful, were there also, with the whole of the officers of the regiment. They had not been there any length of time before a sentry took the alarm, or purposely discharged his piece, and every one followed his example. Toe 27th ran like cowards into the mess-house, out of which they refused to stir. Nothing then remained but to retire on Bowrah, a place distant about half a mile. The 50 men of the 27th occupied the school-house as a picquet, lighted a fire, round which they coolly seated themselves, while Major Rolland and Captain M'Culloch performed sentry go—a duty which their own men declined ! Next morning 120 of the Kolapore Infantry and a party of the Irregulars went to dislodge 159 of the mu tineers from a position they held in the city. Oa arrival it was found to be impracticable without guns. The position was surrounded by high strong loop-holed walls, and without scaling ladders nothing could be attempted. After returning some shots our force retired without accident, save a slight graze which Colonel Maughan received from a fall. Late in the day a new character appeared on the scene. The whole of the European community had retired to the residency, the compound of which was strongly guarded by the Kolapore Infantry. They were all anxious and praying for succour, and they bad not long to wait for it. Covered with skirmisher they scow saw a small body of men riding to their relief. As they aivanced nearer they described the leader to be Lieut. Kerr, of the Southern Mahratta Horse ; a id he hal 50 sabres at his back. His welcome was a warm one. His face, radiant with daring, inspired every breast with confidence, and as they glanced at his swarthy troopers, reeking with their recent ride, they felt that if their gallant leader were only permitted, his horse's hoofs would soon be fed with rebel blood. The march of Lieutenant Kerr was wonderful. As soon as the mutiny broke out at Kolapore, a telegraphic message was sent off to Colonel Malcolm at Sattara. When it was received, Lieutenant Kerr was at the engineer stores, in the European guard, putting irons upon a man who had enlisted in the horse with a vie a of corrupting the allegiance of the troopers. While so engaged, the colonel's orderly galloped up, and gave himanote stating that he required him at his house, and that he was to prepare to march at once with fifty sabres upon Kolapore. In a very short time Lieu tenant Kerr and his men were in their saddles. When they started they were loudly and heartily cheered by the men of the 3d European Regiment, who wished them GA-speed. The rivers Khonia-warna, Punch gunga, and nnllae were brim-Lull ; the roads feticck deep ; even the elements seemed to conspire against the little party ; yet without a si c k h orse or man , an d all comparativey speaking fresh, Lieutentant Kerr did the whole distance, 76 miles, in 24 hours, and entered Kolapore is the manner we have described. The celerity of this march requires no comment at our hands, it speaks for itself, and we can only hope that government will not look over a service which turned the tide of victory against the mutineers. On the morning of the 3d Angu-t, two hours before daybreak. the mutineers left the Ghaum and took the road to Farala, where they remained until the 6th inst. They then descended into the Konkan by a eh, or near the Ghauts. Three officer., Ensign Stubh4, of the 9th N.T., attaohed to the 27th, Lieutenant Norris, and Ensign Heathfield, of the 27th Regiment, had unfor tunately, in the dark, taken the same direction. They were last seen alive at Farala without shoe'. After leaving that place they seem to have taken refugo in a roadside temple which the mutineers were passing, when an old woman pointed it out, and informed them there were three Kaffirs inside. Upon hearing this the place was instantly surrounded ; Ensigns. Stubbs and Heath field .were shot down at once ; Lieutenant Norris. made a dash to escape, but his body was instantaneously riddled with balls. The mutineers then marched on, and the villagers, fearing that blqme might be attached to them, threw the corpses of the murdered officers into the river. Lieutenant Norris was quite a young man, and Ensigns Stubbs and Heathfield mere boys. Lieut. Kerr offered to attack the rebels before they left Farala, but Col. Maughan would not permit him. It is the general belief that had he been allowed to have done so, he would have ridden them down, and sabred them to a man. The Mabratta Horse were also endeavoured to be tampered with, but the traitor was discovered, tried, and shot forthwith. The Rajah of Kolapore and all the native chiefs in the neighbourhood hare evinced the best of feeling throughout. It is a pity that more prJmptitude was not displayed by Col. Mangban. Had he attacked the rebels with the forces at his disposal, he might easily have overcome them. Tae risk, however, was great; as, in the event of a reverse, the conse quences would hive been fearful. He had not only his troops to protect, but a number of helpless women and eolith - en, and mica a responsibility renders even the bravest irresolute. Up to the 9th inst. but little seems to have been done beyond strengthening our poSition. On the evening of that day, 26 of the mutineers -re tamed to Kolapore and shut themselves up in an en closure close by a tank in front of what fa+ mealy was the quarter guard of the native regiment in the old camp. This p sition they managed ta streng:lien, and there they were at ac :ed. After nine hour.' h .rd fight ing the place was carried at the point of the bay met . Lieut. Kerr first received information of the a'riv a of these men when he was out on picket i ity. He in stantly went up and surrounded the place with his irre gular horsemen. Ho then left Dr. Broughton in charge, and galloped off to camp to give the news to Major Rolland. This officer went to the lines for volunteers. Alt volunteered, but only 100 were taken. Capt Kerr led the storming party and did his duty nobly. He has been thanked in orders for his '' devoted bravery" on the occasion. Two men were killed in this attack, and some few wounded. Capt. Kerr got a smash over the shoul der from the butt of a musket, but had ample vengeance by shooting his assailant dead and running another man through with his sword. The storming .party first burst in a small door of the encioeure three feet wide, and then jumped in amongst the mutineers, shooting and bayonetting all they met. They then burst in an other door of the inner keep, and, Pled all they en countered. The remainder of the mutineers have been since captured and destroyed, some in the Konkan and others lathe districts. Many have been blown away from guns, and such a terrible example has been made as is likely to keep the Southern Mabratta county qaiet for years to come. Colonel Le Grand Jacob is at Kolapore, and has assumed the chief command of the field force. The gar rison has also been reinforced by two companies of the 2d European Light Infantry, two 12-pounder howitzers, mountain train, and the 4th Troop of Horse Artillery. All danger may therefore be said to have passed away. The 27th Regiment was disarmed on the 18th, and all went off quietly. Indeed it could not be otherwise. The guns were loaded with canister and laid. The infantry also were loaded. Colonel Jacob, who speaks fluently in Hiedo3tarii, addressed the 27th Regh - rent on the subject of the late disgraceful proceedings. He then called Lieut. Kerr and two of his brave sowers to the front, complimented them on their dilinguished con duct in the attack in the enclosure, and explained-their deeds to the Eunpaans, who instantly evinced their ap proval with th ree h earty cheers. There were seve n mere arrest s on t hundred will die in all.

The Southern Mabratta Li orEe have corned a reputation for valour and flu i dity which some may equal but none surpass. Viri bout a murmur they have been on duty night/m(1 day since the 31 , t in awful rain and under no cover. Thelives of toe European society and interests of thq State were in their k€ erring', and nobly have they done their duty. Naib flu seldar Sheik Shamoodoen has been recommezdel for promotion to Resa!dar with the " Order of British India," ani a gallant little Mabratta Sowar already mentioned wt.o. saved Captain Kerr's life in the a lacic at the enclosure, is also recommended to b e pPr to the rank of KoteDuffedar with .he " Order , of liferi ." , ..4 , Thera was also a detachment of 250 men of the 27th Regt. N.I. at Retnagherry. It was deemed expedient to disarm them, and acco rdingly arrangements were made in Bombay for that purpose. The disarming took place on the 12th inst. - The detachment of—the 27th yielded up thijir ; arms withont a murmur, and were quietly marched a back to their line-. Major Stuart of the 86th with the majority of his troops then left for Goa en route to Dharries, T PI Li,' leaving a defachmept of European artillery and sailors for the protection of Rutne2herry. The Kolapore muti neers were within 20 miles of Goa when they heard that a steamer with European troops had arrived there. They then at once turned their faces towards the interior and =arched up the ghaut again, where they were disposed of in the manner we have already described. It is a most satisfactory thing to know that this disturbance has been so promptly put down, as had there been any dthy, the whole of the Southern Mahratta country, there is every reason to believe, would have been in flames. Now, we believe, we can confidently affirm that every symptom of revolt has been entirrly suppressed. Amongst those who have distinguished themselves the name of Captain Kerr is eminently conspicuous, and we can only hope that his daring and intrepidity will re ceive some more substantial and enduring mark of government favour than simple praise. Had he lived in earlier times he would have been. considered to have won the spurs of knighthood. Government can occa sionally be honest. Let us see if they can be grateful. —Telegraph, and Courier, Aug. 24. THE MUTINY AT SAUGOR. The following letter is from Brigadier Sage, commanding the Saugor District force : "In all the mutinies that have flooded the military stations with blood one line of conduct appears to have been pursued—the officers trusting their men against conviction, or rather what ought to have been convic tion, and common sense—sleeping in the lines with their men, and sleeping on, until the men had caa`urecl their plans, and the officers were shot down or had their throats cat. I bad two regiments of in fantry (Sepoys) and one regiment of native cavalry, and only 68 European gunners, I had the fort maga zine, and battering train at one end of the cantonments, and what is called the Artillery-hill at the other ; dis tance btt , :een the two, three miles and a quarter. I could not keep both ; if I kept the bill, in all pro bability I should lose the fort, the magazine, and the key of the Saugor district. At the hill I had no provisions and no room to store them, and water had to be brought from below. Things were in this state—the Sepoys had the treasury and the fort ; in fact, we were all at their merc y ; and men of the three regi ments met every night and talked openly of what they intended to do. In this state of affairs an application came from Lullutpore (on the north of Saagor) for as. sistance. Two guns and ammunition were asked for. I sent one company and one troop of each regimens, and two nine-pounders, and the question was, would they march or not. They did march, and at the first halt conspired to murder their officers and return ; the 421 proposed this, the 31st would not agree, so they made a second march. Four men of the 42d sent a message to the detachment to come back, as a European regiment was coming to punish them. It is conscience that makes cowards of us all.' I arrested the messenger and, the four Sepoys, and tried them by a drum-head court martial. They were sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour at 7 p.m., and were on their way to Hooshungabad gaol, in irons, at 12 at midnight, licher? they now are. — At Lullutpore the troops mutinied, and the Bejaia of Baudpore took the country. Major G---- who commanded the detachment, wrote for rein force ments. I seat 400 infantry and 100 cavalry. The night before these men were to march was chosen by the mutineers for a strike. I made them march in the day, and kept on the' watch. An attempt was now made on Colonel Dalz-dl's life, who commands the 42d ; that man was put fast in gaol. The alarm was great, and there was a hue and cry that I took no care of the lives of the Europeans, particularly ladies and children. I waited for an overt act of unmistakeable mutiny before I would throw down the gauntlet. It came soon enough. A small fort, Balabet, was stormed and cap tured by Major G---'s detachment, and 16 prisoners were taken ; the men of the 31st and 42d, i.e. portions of them, insisted on Major G— releasing the prisoners, which he did. The Bandpore Rajah. to whom they prisoners belonged, wrote into camp offering the Se ° prays 12 rupees a month if they would leave theli officers and go over with their arms and am munition. Here was no mistake. I might have the rebel Rajah and the mutineers of the camp in tear of the artillery and my 68 Europeans at any hour of the day, as Matthone, where the camp was, is not more than 37 miles from Saugor ; then the muti neers of the cantonments would be in their front, and the 3d Irregular Cavalry on their flank. The position was compromised, and I began operations. First I removed the treasure into the fort, then emptied the expense ma gazine, the artillery magazine; removed the women, children, and baggage of the artillery co m p an y i n t o th e fort ; and then I went down to the fort and relieved the S-poy guard at the gate with a guard of Europeans. Thus by one stroke I won the fort, the magazine, and the treasure. Then I put in all the l a di es an d children, and the next day being Sunday, sent in some necessary articles of furniture, clothes, &c. On Monda . i morning, while thegrandguard-mounting was going on, I marched the company of artillery, and No. 4 Light Field Battery into the fort—all Christians had been ordered to come in also, and all was safe. I then sent for all the native officers, and told them of the mutinies that had taken place, and they, being the greater number, and according to their own statement good and loyal men, looked on and did nothing; that if they chose to allow bad men to destroy their honour and ruin their regiment, I would place no confidence in them, and that. I would not trust any. European officers with men who had forfeited m y esteem and my confidence. If they wished to pre serve their honour and their regiments they must seize the mutineers and deliver them up to me. There was a great scene. I was firm, and they promised everything. The next day I had a similar conference with the native officers of the 3d Irregular Cavalry, and with the same result as to promises ; but mark the faith and honour of Mahornedans. The next morning, after muster, Captain Mayne, came to me, saying the men had sharpened their swords and gone to pray at the mosque, and Le had been advised to fly for his life. This officer was certain his men were true and loyal, and would stay with them instead of coming into the fort. The .42d joined the 3d Irregular Cavalry, but the 31st held aloof. The bungalows and bazaar were plundered, but not having one company I could trust to flank my guns, I would not risk them. On the 7th a trooper fired at a sepoy of the 31st, the sepoy in return shot the trooper dead, and a fight ensued lE-.- tween the 42 , 1 and 3d on one side, and 31st on the other. The 31st sent for assistance. I gave the 60 cavalry who had remained true and there was a good cl , :al ~ f firing. 40 men of the Ist company of the 31st j dried the mutineers. In the evening they sent to me again for two gnus. I sent them word it was too late ; but in the mornine , I would send them v‘ctory. The muti • neers got hold of this and fled in the night, the 31st and 60 troopers pnrsuing them for some miles. When ha inen in camp heard this they seizA the guns, and !parched for canton - ne.nts, bnt having the river Dussein !o cross, they found a body of infantry and cavalry ready ;orecsive them. On this the mutineers went off in the night, almost all the cavalry, the native officers and men of the 411, and six of the 31st, and hire ~ n de.l the mutiny, at least I hope Sirce then have had the detachments oat at Dumah and Benaicka, both of which havebeinsu:cesBful, and we are strengthen ing the Fort every day. We have provisions for ix months, medical t -, r'es, and do:tors, but the eneu,, (t,he cholera) ha; vied us for all that. You will o',i6erve I have, with Gill's blessing, gavel all my ora car, and male the good rnee drive oat the mutineers." UNIBALLA. The folllwiog aro extracts from the letter of a lieutenaiit of the 60th Native Infantry : " Umballa, July 15. "One day I was hastily summoned to a council of war, and learnt that the troops at Jullundur had muti nied, consisting of three regiments, a cavalry corps, and two guns, and that they were marching on us ; so, with my 100 men, I was ordered to defend the left flank of cantonments—not a pleasant duty, as I should be a mile away from the rest of the Europeans in the fort, and my men had been whispering oneinou.ly among themselves;. The nest afternoon some troops were perceived a , lvan cing ; the dust was so great that their numbers could not be ascertained. Directly the alarrn s was eound,d every man took refuge in the (thumb, while I rode away to my lines. However, I put on a good face, and being mounted on a good horse of Colonel Seaton's I soon reached the lines and turned the men cut. They were vtry eager, and talked amazingly of what they would do, but I thought very dif ferently, and determined to fight on horseback. however, it turned out a false alarm, the troops being friends ; but as they filed under the guns of the fort a European artilleryman requested leave to give them some grape,' saying 'Sure they are niggers.' All that night I patrolled byneyself, being more afraid of my own sentries than any enemy ; however, like all nights, it at last came to an end, and I felt another man when daylight cams and no enemy, for I do not think I am maligning my men when I say that had an enemy appeared they would have shot me and joined,the rebels. Tnat morning information was received that Gen. John stone, from Jullundur, was pursuing them, and that the 61.-t N.I. had separated and was sneaking along the foot of the hills by by-roads, and thus trying to get to DAhi. Two companies of Europeans were immediately ordered in carts to intercept them in the Malka road, and I vol unteered to go with them, and was appointed aide-de camp and quartermaster to the force. I previously volun teered for Delhi, for a volunteer troop of cavalry and a volunteer troop of infantry, and bad been invaria . .ly re fused. We did not,start till 1 p.m., a wind blowing as hot as the breath from a furnace. There were no carts hr us, and we had to ride. The officer commanding got struck by the sun and two others fell sick, so at last I was left • by myself. We did not halt all day, and about 11 p.m., my pony having outsteppe I the carts, I was about a mile ahead, passing thr eugh brushwood, and thinking what a ice it would be for a surprise, when a volley of mile ketry came on one side. I pulled up, clutched that in valuable weapon Colt,' and listened. The night was as dark as ink and all quiet and still again. I listeee foe the carts but could not hear them, and was surprii e I to find how I had unconsciously wandered away from them. , J ust then I faintly heard the bugle sounding tte myae t m a tlyi n f e o w llo b w a ed ct , h a y n the d f o ' und double'; thatthe n putting ee m y spurs to were close by and we were o e i l n e g ph t a o nt f s oot i d t s a . f n te t r a t h h t e a rn i . tu el t party was put on some g those on foot declared they would i g a ,, e n t on ' first, an set s o n ff d a f t el a i b i o n e w t i fi t v h e t m he i m lea , a a n n d h w o e ur. bad t off t elephant ing the elephants hollow. I was aftetWtai:dhns'wyeaallkie'dbeoautt, and sent on ahead to where the Conanaieslone r give orders ; so I galloped off and found the said 'vast. e a ntl s e man in an unpleasant state of fea r , an d so disoraegred mind that he c mid give no ordere, exeept th a t M r . Foreyth (civilian) h a d come upon the rebels, and that hie men had all bolted and Forsyth had taken refuge in a walled town. I took the liberty of ordering dinner for six, sharp,and carried back this intelligence, and strongly advised puihing on eight miles mere to re li eve F orcytb. We all arrived at the buegatothe bungalow, and then the excrimi3- sioner kept saying that we were too late by three hours. So we ate our dinner at 1 a.m., and putting my saddle for a pillow I turned in on the floor. In about one hour I was awoke and told we were going on to relieve For syth ; so we all got up, weary and tired, having Sad just enough sleep to make us wish for more, at which the troops murmured greatly. We reaohed Forsyth and heard we were just too late again ; but be had car riage for 50 men, he said, if we were game to pursue, and ho offered 50 rupees for every head brought in ; so of course all volunteered, but only 50 were chosen, and the officers drew 1 , 4 s for it. The commanding officer told see to do as I liked, so I volunteered and attached my self to Forsyth as deputy-assistant, and found him a j )fly companion and a resolute, energetic man. He mounts] me on his elephant, and the men being all like wi mounted, we started at 6 a.m. after the rebels. The heat was fearful that day, and the rea l nothing more than a track over dazzling, drifting sand. After march ing for two hours a temporary halt for water was called, and I was thinking how lucky I was to have a flask of brandy with me when Forsyth offered me claret. I was delighted, of course, to find myself attached to one who marched with claret. We did not halt again till 12 p.m., and then found the rebels still ahead but very close. " Fersyth then asked me to make a dour' 20 miles on horseback, and to try to reach a police station before the rebels, and check them till the Europeans could ar rive. As I had no good horse, he lent me a Government Artillery horse, as it was imperatively necessary to be well mounted in case of having to bolt. He rode a beau fat Arab, and buckling on swords and pistols, and sling ing our rifles on our backs, away we went as hard as we could, with an escort of 10 mounted natives. We were meeting the wind, and the heat was insufferable ; the wind dried me up, and blistered my face al most to suffocation ; still, 'Forward,' we cried, and in a state of mad excitement we hammered along, our poor horses suffering greatly, mine especially; however I never mounted a gamer animal, he would not allow the Arab to be one inch ahead of him. The escort had fallen to t'le rear, and were nowhere. Still we fl ew along and at last rea c h e d a fort, and summoning up the head man demanded intelligence. He lied to us, and tried to break our scent, so he was hung there and then, and another fined 1,000 rupees. After having been so mer ciful we started afresh, and actually rode right through the 61st N. 1., who were eating their dinners, when a cry arose of 'Two E uro p eans !' Th e y immediately fled to the jungle. We observing places for cooking and fires burn ing, thought they must be just ahead, and dashed for wards with renewed speed. I never could understand why they spared us, except that they were chased off their legs and bad lost all pluck and heart. Just beyond we came to a nullah with steep banks. We charged it abreast, without looking to see what it was, and took it exactly together, but my horse had not the blood of the Arab, and was done. He reached the other side, but his hind legs slipped back, and over he went to the bottom. I got bruised from the lock of the rifle enter ing my back, but it was sottish ground, so I scrambled up and soon remounted, but the horse was done for ; Mill ho gallantly held out for five miles more, when we entered the policestation, and then he lay down and died I got some rice to eat, almost the first thing I had had to eat since I had left Umballah. We lay down and got a bit of rest, all owing to my poor horse, for if he bad not failed we should have ridden on and destroyed a bridge over the Janina. The detachment soon arrived, and we let them rest a bit, seeing nothing of any of the rebels. After dinner Forsyth and I were once mere in the saddle and ready to proceed. I was on my white pony, No mounted men would come with us unless we promised to ride like men in their senses. As it was pitch dark we promised, and Off we went for 15 miles more. We went very quietly at first, Forsyth's Arab as fresh as if he had not been out of the stable for a month. We soon increased our speed, and at last were it, a sharp canter, to the horrorof the men behind, One man was very troublesome and would persist in keeping close by me, making my pony very fidgetty and warlikely inclined, so I paid him out beautifully, though by accident. We came suddenly on a great fissure across the road. It was too late to stop, 'so I rode at it and reached the other side all right. The native behind me did not see it, and rode right into it. I heard a heavy fall and cry of I'm killed,' but we only laughed, and I rode on and saw no more of the escort. Just before we arrived at the little station we rode through a clump of trees and a low bough caught Forsyth, who was thrown. I caught bis horse, and we rode quietly on and got in just in time to warn Plowden (civil servant). The next morning, the fall, combined with fatigue and heat, pro strated Forsyth, and, not willing to leave him in the jungle, I stayed with him, and then returned to Uraballah the next night, having been out three days, two of which night and day had been incessant marching, but the sun bad no effect upon me, and no one stood it better, if so well as I did. I only changed the skin on my face and bands. Perhaps the excitement is good for me, but certainly it seems to me to be the coolest hot weather altogether that I have experienced. On my return I heard the news of the mutiny of our regiment—they are all gone The men that we so trusted ; my own men,-with wham I have shot, played cricket, jumped, and entered into all their sports, and treated them kindly. They mutinied at Bhotuck. It was a hard trial their being sent there, only three marches from Delhi. While there they received hun dreds of letters from the rebels to come over to them. So on the 11th of June they rushed on the drummers. The officers were collected in the mess-tent when the regiment came up, fired a volley through it, miracu lously hitting no one, and then off they went. The offi cers rushed out, gat on their horses, and bolted to Delhi to join the camp. Shebbeare refused to leave them at first, hoping to bring them round again, and trusted to his great popularity to get off ; but their looks were so murderous he soon walked off, and when toll by them to quicken his pace, told them that he would not put himself out for any of them. They then looted the mess, smashed all the mess plate, carried off all our silver of every description, plundered the wino, took the treasure chest, and after hanging a policeman who had hid their camels thq marched for Delhi. But the officers arrived first and gave information, and all the guns were laid for the gate by which they would enter, so as they approached they were awfully cut up, and the 9ch Lancers swept down upon them, so that the left wing was annihilated. The next day the rebels made a fierce attack upon the camp, and the 60th were told to lead, and were cut up almost to a man. I have just received letters from all my brother officers in camp. Toe storm ing party has been told off twice, but countermanded again. The mutineers have offered to come to terms, but we only answer, Unconditional surrender.' Our troops are mad for revenge, and we hang the wounded that are loft on the field. . . .

FATAL ACCIDENT ERO3I A SWING -BOAT, — On Monday evening, a lad named Patrick Garretty, was occupied in working a swing-boat on some waste ground, near Scot land-road, Liverpool, when a pole on which be was seated suddently broke, and the swing -boat, fa'l of people, fell on him and crushed him so severely that he did at noon yesterday (Tuesday). The wife of a man named Drown, the proprietor of the swing-'ooat, was kill-Ai in exactly the same place, in the July race week in 1856. THE NETHERTON COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—The in quest on the body of George French, the " doggy" who was killed in the Gworn Colliery (Messrs. Mills) with eight other colliers by an explos on of firedamp, was br )nght to a close bet seen 8 and 9 o'clock on Monday night before Mr. Hinchliffe, coroner. After the examina tion of Mr. Brough, the Government Inspector for the district, other witnesses were called, but their evidence was not material. Mr. Astor, the underground bailiff of the pit, gave his opinion that the explosion had been caused by a "shut" or fall of coal. Mr. Brough said that if the ventilation of the pit was not improved in the way he had suggested in his report there would be more lives lost tharo. The Coroner having summed up the evidence, the jury, after retiring for nearly an hour, re turned as their verdict, " That the death of George French was caused by an explosion of sulphur which had accuinela,ted in the pit, but what fired it there was no evidence to show ; at the Fame timethe managers of the pit were exceedingly blameable in not having carried out Mr. Brough's suggestion for gate-road air." The fetes at Brussels, in commein ration of the revo lution of 1830, terminated on Saturday. On that day there was a public sitting of the section of Fine Arts of the Academy of Belgium, and after some papers bad been read, prizes were distributed. At the Hotel de Ville, the burgomaster and municipal councillors made with some pomp a distribution of prizes, consisting of household furniture and savings bank books, to well a.mdected workpeople of bath sexes. To the afternoon the bands of the garrison executed various pieces of music in the Place de la S .eiete Civile. After night fall the boulevards were spendidly illuminated, and there was a grand di , play of fireworks. Tho evening concluded by a grand ball given by the artists wla , ) exhibit works in the Exhibition now open at Brussels.

We learn by electric telegraph from Liverpool that the transport sailing ship Lord Raglan arrived at Bombay ou the 27th of August with the left wing of the 33d Regiment from Port Louis, whence she s tiled on the 14th, making the passage in a little over 12 days. The right wing had previously been brought up by the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's steamer Pottinger, after a passage of over 14 days. Yesterday morning, in consequence of a telegra phic despatch received at Chatham from the War office, a draught of the 83d Regiment, numbering 20 non-commissioned officers and men, left the pro visional battalion and proceeded to Cork, where they will embark on board the Calcutta steamer for conveyance to India for tlie purpose of joining the service companies of that regiment in Bombay. A considerable augmentation has b:en made in the strength of the Provisional Battalion at Cha tham by the arrival yesterday morning of the depot companies of the 51st Light Infantry and the 94th Regiment, from Pembroke garrison, numbering upwards of 200 non-commissioned officers and men, with the following officers : —Capt. H. B. Henson, Ensign E. M. Crowe, and Ensign H. Chambers, 51th Light Infantry ; Capt. H L. Cafe, and En sign W. Clegg, 94th Regiment. On arriving at Chatham garrison both the companies of the above depots were attached to the 3 1 battalion, under the command of Lieut.-Col. C. Elmhirst. A further increase in the number of the Indian troops at Chatham, to the extent of nearly 1,000 officers and men, will take place in a few days by the arrival of the depots of the 5 , h (Fusileers), 18th (Royal Irish), 33d (Duke of Wellington's), and 98th Regiments, which are ordered to join the 3d battalion at Chat ham garrison. Yesterday the officers and men of the depots of the 19th and 83d Regiments at the Provisional Battalion moved from Chatham barracks to the huts at Prince Henry's bastion, where they will be quartered through the winter ; the 51st Light Infantry are also to be hutted. The depots of the 43d Light Infantry, 64th, and 86th Regi ments likewise marched from Chatham barracks yesterday to Brompton barracks, where they are to be quartered with the troops of the Royal Engineers. We have Malta letters to the 25th of September. They announce the departure on the afternoon of the 21st, after only 48 hours' stay at anchor out side Valetta harbour, of Admiral Lord Lyons in the Royal Albert screw-steamship, accompa.eiwi by the Princess Royal and Centurion, for Corfu, whence they be expected back about the 20th of October, when, if nothing of importance in the Mediterranean calls the squadron elsewhere, it will take up its winter quarters. Her Majesty's screw steam corvette Ariel remains at Malta, to convey any despatches which may arrive for the Admiral, and the Wanderer and Vigilant, screw steam gunboats, are left to carry over to Cagliari, for telegraphic communication to the British Government the summary of the Indian and China intelligence. The European and Aus tralian Company's stea,mpackets the Vanguard from Marseilles, and the Tamar from Southampton, with the mails, arrived at Malta early on the morn-: ing of the 21st. The Sir George F. Seymour, Bermudian bark, with returned convicts, arrived at Spithead yesterday. DEVONPORT, SEPT. 30. The Obelapeake, 50 (screw), Commodore R. B.

The reason assigned is, we under stand, that at present there is not sufficient room for the regiment in the barracks. ACT OF VALOUR.—The pSindian, says :—" On the occasion of the mutiny of the 14th Bengal Native Infantry, at Jhelum, Captain W. Hiller, of the Bombay Fusiliers, charged a body of 25 of Vie mutineers, at the bead of five sowars only, thouzh himself, it is said, unarmed. Ills horse was shot under him, and he received two 'bayonet wounds ; but the sowars, we are glad to hear, cut up the mutineers to a man. Captain Miller is doing well." THE VICTORIA Onoss.—lt has been notified in the Calcutta Gazette that officers and soldiers of the East India Company's service are eligible tc receive from the Queen the decoration of the Victoria Cross, on the same condition as it is awarchd to the royal army. ing." He asked, whose name was forged. I replied, " The name of Mr. Roach," pointing to that gen tleman, who was with me. The prisoner said, " I beg your pardon ; it is known both to Mr. Roach and Mr. Anton that that bill of lading is in the same state now as when I received it." This - closed the ca , e for the prosecution ; and the prisoner, who said he should reserve his defence, was fully committed for trial upon this charge. The prisoner was next charged with uttering a forged bill of excnange for 4531. 19s. 5d., under the following circumstances. Mr. G. Anton, the prosecutor in the last case, said—On the 16th May I received from the pri soner the bill of exchange produced, dated 27th April, 1856, for 4531: 19s. 5d., purporting to be drawn by G. Hall and Co., of Gloucester, on John Taylor, late Taylor and Franc;s, Nottingham. I took the bill in part payment of a cargo of barley. The bill, which is made payable at the London and Westminster Bank, was presented and dishonoured. I have addressed several letters to G. Hall and Co., Gloucester, and they have been returned tome. 1 believe the bill has been forged. Mr. E. Estcourt, superintendent of police at Gloucester, said he had resided in that -town for 24 years, that he bad made inquiries there for G. Hall and Co., and could not find such a firm. . The prisoner was remanded, upon this charge. BOW-STREET.—Mr. John Holder, late a lieu tenant in the army and paymaster of the Royal Lancashire Militia, was brought up by warrant, in the custody of Sergeant Whicher, of the detective force, charged with etnbezzliug upwards of 1,0001. Mr. S. Kirby, of the War-office, proved that the defendant was paymaster of the sth Regiment of Lancashire Militia, in which capacity he was en trusted with large sums of money. He resigned the appointment iu Feb., 1856, after which defalcations to the extent of about 1,8001. were discovered in his accounts. These moneys ought to_ have been paid to the army agents, Messrs. M'Gregor and Co. The defendant addressed a letter to the autho rities, which witness now produced. Defendant--Oh, 1 admitted the deficiency, and I admit it still ; but I deny that there has been any embezzlement. I had none of the money. My pay-sergeant did the business. , It was stated on benalf of the prosecution that a remand would be desirable without going further into the case at present. Defendan t—l also wish the case to be adjourned, for my solicitor is out of town, and my family and friou'is urc a il awuy. t presume I shall be ad- mitted to bail. Mr. Henry—The defalcations are to a serious amount. Defendant—Supposing the full amount of money is put down. Mr. Henry—That cannot be done. If you can find two sureties in 2,0001. each, besides your own recognisances (giving 24 hours' notice to the prose cution), you may be admitted to bail. The case was then remanded for a week, the de fendant being committed to prison. CLERRENWELL.—Yesterday having been appointed for the examination of C. H. French, late cook at St. Pancras Workhouse, the court was crowded with respectable persons, amongst whom were some of the directors, vestrymen, and other parishioners. The case excited great interest, it having been stated that the frauds on the workhouse have ex ceeded 2,0001. per annum. • The prisoner, a respectably-dressed man, about 40 years of age, residing at 64, College-street, Camden-tow n , was p l ace d at the bar before Mr. Tyrwbitt, charged with stealing 841bs. of sugar, the property of the directors and vestry of the parish of St. Pancras. Mr. Humphreys attendedfor the prosecution, and Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, for the prisoner. Mr. Humphreys, in opening the case, said ho attended for the prosecution on the part of the directors of the poor of the parish of St. Pancras and the parishioners generally, but more particularly on the part of Mr. Cook; the vestry clerk, and who by special act of Parliament had power to prosecute in such cases. The depredations that had been committed were exceedingly great, and he should when he had produced some evidence ask for a re mand, when fresh charges would be brought against the prisoner. He then called Mr. Charles Hubbard, who said—l am a clerk , to the directors of th e p oor o f St. P ancras , an d M r .' Cook is the vestry clerk. " In consequence of some inquiriesthat were made antecedent to the 15th of Sept. the prisoner was suspended by the resolution of the directors. The prisoner did not reside in the house, but he had a private room in the work house for his own particular use in his department: Oa Monday, the 21st, I went with some gentlemen to prisoner's room, which was locked. I obtained the key from the master. We found the two inner cupboards and a small brown paper bag under his desk. We sent for the prisoner, but he could not be found. We then sealed the cupboards and locked the room. On Wednesday, the 23d, we again pro ceeded to the room, when we saw the prisoner there. I broke the seals, and the prisoner unlocked the cupboards. On the floor we found a quantity of loose brown sugar, weighing 381bs. In the cup board we found a white bag full of sugar, weighing 411b5., Ana some also lying by its side, of the same a.rt as that found in the, bag. Among the loose sugar there was one large lump. The prisoner said he should like to have the storekeeper sent for to ex plain about the sugar, as he might get into trouble, meaning the storekeeper. Mr. Young told him it was quite unnecessary for him to say anything about it. He then said the sugar was sweepings, 'and had been accruing for the last two years and A half. He then went away, and the cupboard and chi st were again sealed up. I have no doubt that the sugar found in the prisoner's room, and pro duced in court, is St. Pancras sugar. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—lshould not have known this to have been St. Pancras sugar had I seen it in a grocer's shop. The prisoner has not ab sented himself during the whole course of this exa mination. He was told why he was suspended, be cause of the quality of some broth furnished to the paupers. The white bag was in the saturated state that it now is in, and that arises from sugar. His intention in sending for the storekeeper was to have an explanation. The storekeeper was not sent for while the prisoner was there. Mr. Richard Ryan—l am storekeeper to the parish of St. Pancras. I was in the habit of supply ing the prisoner , with sugar and all other things. I supplied him daily with tea and sugar, and weekly on Wednesday s . The daisy supply was in locked cans, he having one key and I another. The weekly supply was in paper bags, containing 281 b. each. One of the bags found iu the prisoner's rsom was of the same description as that supplied to the prisoner. I have looked at the sugar produced, and it is certainly of the same description as we have in store, and delivered to the prisoner. I have not the least hesitation in saying that this sugar is part of what I delivered. The sugar produced I have no hesitation in saying is workhouse sugar. Cross-examined—I have bean in office about nine months. My reason for saying it is workhouse sugar is because it was in the workhouse. J believe it was workhouse, because the prisoner 'aid it was the ac cumulation of years. I should not have said eo if I had seen it in a grocer's shop. It would take me a fortnight to tell whether the marks on the bag are caused by sugar. I think the sugar in the bags is not the accumulation of years ; for if it was it would be almost in powder. In a twelvemonth it would lose all its saccharine, which makesit stick together. If constant additions were being made to the sugar, it would help to keep it moist. The prisoner was never supplied with half-a-pound of moist sugar every Wednesday for his own use. I will swear that prisoner was not entitled to receive it. For his own use he was supplied with lump Eisner. Policeicenstable Cook, 198 S, said he took the prisoner into custody yesterday afternoon at the College Arms. When he told him the charge, the prisoner said they could not make a felony of it as he had never removed the sugar on the premises , . The weight of the sugar in court was 81 lb. Mr. Lewis contended that there was no case made out against the prisoner. Tyrwhite said he should take bail for the . prisoner —two sureties in 151. each. The bail having been put in, the prisoner was allowed to go. WORSHIP-STREET.—Maria Clark, charged on the first examination on suspicion of having caused the death of her illegitimate daughter, nine years of age, was brought up for final examination, charged, on her own con f ess i on , w i t h murder. The case has already been reported. The pr , • Boner and her child were inmates o f nomerirnl- Union workhouse, and on the 3d 'September they left the workhouse, unknown to the authorities. On the same evening she complained to her sister of having missed the girl by the side of the canal. On the following morning she pointed out a spot where she alleged her child's bonnet had been seen on the surface of the water, and there the body was found. Subsequently letters were discovered in her hand, confessing that she caused her daughter's death ; and now the following evidence was given. Sergeant Mate, 28 N, stated that on the 14th instant the accused was in the station-house, and said in his hearing—" [ drowned my child because I did not wish to see it grow up and wear those Plarge hats the girls now wear in the street." She then, holding her arms out, added, "It laid in my arms like this, and I threw it into the canal. It did not struggle much, but died like a lamb. I thought drowning an easier death than hanging, b u t f oun d it was not.'; The depositions being completed by Mr. Safford, the second clerk, the jy, risoner was fully committed for trial. El en Hogg, charged with concealing the birth of her illegitimate chilol, and disposing of the body, was likewise committed to the Central Criminal Court for trial. THE GUARDS 42 ID THE " FIGHTING DIV ISIONS." - "An Old Soldier" NI 'rites to a contemporary as follows : Sir,—l crave a little a pace in your columns, that I may speak a few 'words in behalf of soldiers gloriously absent from amongst us —of " fighting regiments," at this minute most like in line before Delhi, or marching at th 3 back of Havelock . The siege of Sebastopt 1 lasted from the 17th of Oct., 1854, (the day we opens d fire) to theeBth Sept . ., 1855, i.e., 11 months and 21 'ays. Of that time the Guards did r.o duty " in the froi it" from Feb. 24, 1855, to June 17, 1855, that is for abc •at three months and 21 days, about one-fourth of the j ,eriod of open trenches. On the Alma the Guards fought nobly ; at Inkerman they fought gloriously ; but after that never-to-be-for- gotten occasion, they took no forward part against the enemy ; in the two graied assaults upon the place they were in reserve, and not engaged. Let ns turn to the line. The 2nd and Light Divi sions bore the fiercest lei unt of the battle on the Alma ; they behaved with spies Aid bravery at Inkerman ; they were foremost at the bloody assaults of Juno "and Sep tember, 1855 ; they to fled, without intermission, in the trenches from the me went the first sod was turned up till the hour of triucaph. In the words of Russell, "they were put to evferything from the beginning to the end of the war." Nor sheuld I omit to mention that the brilliant combat of October 26, 1854; was won by Sir Da Lacy Evans eiingle-handed, with the Se coed Division. eee Well, sir, Sebastopol fell, the troops returned home ribbons, and rewards, stars and crosses, were distributed.; . but how distributed ? Did the old fighting regiments -t • 7th, 23d, 77th, 88th, 47th, 49th, 55th, and others, ob.- tain, as was their due, the lion's share of British and foreign decorations ? The very reverse. It was the " Household Brigade" which the Horse Guards de lighted to honour. Nay, on the high -caste Brahmins of the English army, "legions of honour's and Sardinian medals were so lavished, that young guardsmen who merely landed in the Crimea, or were heroes of a single fight, now parade Pall-mall with breasts dazzling to look upon. Mark, yet another " order" remains to be given away—the Turkish Med jidie ; and, according to a list of officers selected for the , order which two of your minis terial contemporaries have publi s h e d, an d which, in spite of repudiation by authority" inserted in the Times, I am persuaded is substantially a correct list, the same scandal is to be acted over again, eden. les regles—the " Brigade" is first and b iggest on the roll. Officers are named to wear the Otton mit crescent who did not reach the seat of war till after t heir battalions had retired from active participation in Vie heroic dangers of the siege. In other words the " Gu.erds Club" has possession of nearly one-third of the entire catalogue. • Lastly, where are the " fighting regiments"—the 2nd and light division—now I Face to face with the Ben gales fiends probably • but 15,000 m il es f rom Whitehall. Where is the "Household Brigade" now On guard at St. James's, in the Roya 1 Barracks of Dublin, and at the ear of the War Department. Only let public attention be directed to the foregoing facts, and a revised, a comparatively equitable " Medji die" list will appear before long. .The English people must.stir in this ; they must not allow their absent sole diers to be forgotten and 'wronged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--,yep;. 30. MANSION-HOUSE.—Charles Fou alias De Henry, alias M'Mahon, alias De Fleury, a French man, was brought before Mr. Aldeunin Hale, charged with having obtained upwards of 1,0001. b w l o a r n t k h et o f m g n o n o l d i fsafertoumreriN;lr 72, J F. r. u fi r a y n , false pretences. n e u l n a d n e d r Mr. Lewis, jun., who appeared on the part of the prosecution, said—The prisoner is charged with defrauding a number of warehousemen and mer chants in the City by means of making false state ments to them, as an inducement to obtain their credit for goods. The prisoner, who is a French man, seems to have come to this country, from what can be learnt of him, about two years no. He at first passed under the name of M`Mabon ; he after wards changed that to De Fleury, and after ''aving taken several other aliases he started, at No. 3, Cannon-street, under the name of Fould. Now Fould is the name of the Minister of the Interior in Paris. He has made this a means of credit that he was a relative of that minister, and that he had contracts with the French Government to purchase goods to a very large amount. He went to the pre mises of Messrs. Sykes and C 0.., manufacturers of flayincao 61..kucs, at 'iz, Aldermanbury, and he obtained from that firm upwards of 1,0001. worth of goods upon this statement, which turns out to he utterly false. He said the blankets weie wanted for the French Government at once under his con tract. Instead of there being any contract with the French Government, and instead of his being any relative of M. Fould, he did not want them for that purpose, for it appears that directly he got possession of the goods he took them to some pre mises in St. Mary-Axe, where he disposed of them for a mere nothing, and appropriated the pro ceeds to his own use. He has also visited other houses. I shall call before you, ii addition to Mr. Sykes, several other tradesmen whom the pri soner has swindled out of their goods. Finding he could no longer keep up credit in the City, he lately took a house in the neighbourhood of Brixton, in the name of De Fleury, where he has been living and secreting himself from his creditors. In addi tion to obtaining 1,0001. worth of goods from Messrs. Sykes, be has in several instances procured 3001., 4001., and 5001. worth of property, under similar circumstances, front other tradesmen in the City. Mr. John Foster Sykes said—l am a flannel and blanket manufacturer and carrying on business at 72, Aldermanbury. On the 18th May last the pri soner came to our warehouse for the first time. He was brought to me by a person named Knight, who was formerly in the employment of a firm with which I had had dealings. The prisoner told me he belonged to the firm of Fould and Company, of 3, Cannon-street, and he left a card. He applied to me to sell him 42 pieces of flannel, amounting to 1441.45. 6d. Having given me a reference, I sold him those goods upon credit. On the 20th of the same month ho bought goods of me, consisting of flannel, to the amount of 1201. 12s. 2d. He said he was connected with the French Government, and that he was related to M. Fould, Prime Minister of France. He gave me a bill at three months for these goods. He told me that he expected to have an order for blankets under a contract he was making with the French Government. That was on the 20th May. I supplied him with those goods. I next saw him again the first week in June, when he told me that he had samples of blankets from other houses, and he gave me an order for - )00 pairs as samples, of whi c h 150 pairs were sent in. He told me that that order was from the French Govern ment for the camp at Chalons. (A laugh.) He said that those who sold the blankets cheapest would get the order. Two or three days afterwards he called upon me, and said that the samples had been laid before the Government, and that the order was for me. He showed me a paper with a French heading to it, which he took away with him. I did not understand what the document was, but he told me it was a contract from the French Government. He showed me, upon the back of what he said was the contract, a list of goods com prising several thousand pairs of blankets. He told me that they were to go the French government. He said he wanted a certain number every month —about 5,000 pairs monthly, I believe. He gave a reason why he wanted them monthly, saying he was afraid he should not be able to supply them all at once, and that it would be as well both fur the French government as for us to supply them in that manner, as the payments would be every fort night. He told me that he himself would make the payments. Upon that r: presentation I sup plied him with goods to the amount of several hun dreds of pounds. Mr. Lewis—Now, have you traced these, goods to the French government in St. Mary-axe, instead of the French government in Paris ? (Laughter.) Prosecutor—From information which has rem!) - ed me, I believe, if the prisoner is remanded, I shall be able to prove, on a future day, that the goods were taken to St. Mary-axe, and there dig posed of. I have received information from. the carman who carted the goods that that is the case. The prisener was remanded. Lambert Philip Moiled° wn, a commission mer chant, carrying on husiue:ss in Mark-lane, who had been remanded upon the charge of having uttered a forged endorsement to a bill of lading, with in tent to defraud Mr. George Ant on , c orn factor, of 23, Fenchurch-street, of 7501., was brought up for further examination. Mr. Robinson again app eare d f or th e proescu lion, and the prisoner was d e f en d e d b y M r . Church. Mr. T. D. Roach, a commission merchant at Hull and Altona, who gave his evidence on Mon day last, was re-called, and, in answer to Mr. Robinson, said—l stated at the last examination that only one clerk in our employment, of the name of Witt, signed bills by procuration. I wish to correct that statement. I find that another clerk besides Mr. Witt signs by procuration. I also find that the bill was not drawn against the cargo in question ; it was drawn for other goods that the prisoner lad got. Mr. P. W. H. Angel—l am in partnership with Mr. Roach, and we carry on the business of commis sion merchants at both Hull and Altona. I shipped on board the Catharine. 300 qrs. of linseed, and re ceived on the 3d of Sept. three bills of lading fur that cargo, of which the two produced are part. One of the bills of lading was sent over to London unendorsed to the prisoner. At the time I sent it it had no writing on it. The second bill of lading I also received, and gave that as security to Messrs. Young and Macdonald, in Hamburg. Before I parted with it I endorsed it as it appears to be en- THE MILITIA. dorsed now.

Smith, arrived to-day from Gibraltar, with the fol lowing officers and men belonging to the Ist, 31st, 48th, and 92d Regiments and Royal Artillery :--,-- Lieutenants Turner, Ist Royals ; Cassidy, 31st ; Feneran, 48th ; Wallace, 92d Highlanders ; and Staff A. S. Kilroy,• and 66 non-commissioned officers and men of the above regiments, invalids. The Abeona left Gibraltar with these troops Sep tember 24, and encountered strong head winds on the voyage. This ship was sent out to Malta to bring home a Regiment, but she broke down. Admiral Lyons finding that the regiment was wanted, and knowing the drain on the country for the Indian service, at once ordered the Conqueror, 101, screw ship to bring them to England. This was done, and the regiment arrived here some six weeks ago. Having had her' defects made good, the Abeona had nothing to do but to return home, but in doing so brought from Gibraltar the above invalids. They are landing this afternoon. At Gibraltar the only man-of-war was the paddle sloop Vulture, 6. She was to leave for the African coast. The Curlew, 6, screw sloop, had left for the same coast. There was no news at Gibraltar, but some excite ment had been caused by a Spaniard having been killed by a boldier of the 92c1 Highlanders. It ap pears the soldier WAS on duty as sentry, and that ' the Spaniard was placed in his charo by a police constab'e on some charge of smuggling articles from the m tin land. Whilst the sentry's back was turned the Spaniard ran out of the sentry-box, and had got about 90 yards away before the sentry found that he had lost his prisoner. He called out to him to come back, but not being attended to, the sentry firod and shot the man through the back ; lie dropped down dead. This occurred just before the Abeona left. The convict ship,Sir George Seymour, arrived to-day from Bermuda, with convicts, whose term h is expired.
