THE OVERLAND MAIL. THE INDIAN MUTINIES• We have received together the Bombay and Cal cutta mails. The dates from Bombay are to the 17th September ; the dates from Calcutta • are to tbo 9th September inclusive. We take the following from the Overlco _Bombay Times :-- " The Indian revolt has not during the last fort night been marked by any ♦ery stirring events, and n, ither of the contending parties has gained any decisive advantage over the other. The British forces throughout India have been inactive, await c; reinforcements before striking the final blow which will crush the hopes of the mutineers. On the whole, however, our prospects may be consi dered cheering ; for, while the rebels have obtained no fresh success, we have had considerable acces sions of strength by the arrival of fresh troops, both at Bombay and Calcutta. When these reinforce ments reach the seat of war in the disturbed pro vinces our armies will be enabled to resume offen sive operations and bring affairs to a crisis. " Gen. Havelock, who had recrossed the Ganges after his unsuccessful attempts to relieve Lucknow, re,ted for a few days at Cawnpore, his troops having been much crippled by sickness. On the 16th Aug. the force marched towards Bithoor, where a large body of the enemy, about 4,000 in number, with two guns, was posted. They occupied a strong de fensive position in a village to the west of Bithoor, which they desperately defended. Havelock's force mustered 1,300 men with about 14 guns. The right ing was towards the Ganges, and the left on a deep nullah crossed by a bridge. After an obstinate en g ►genaent, in which the enemy lost 250 killed and v winded, they were driven from their position, and fled in confusion, leaving their guns behind. In this c rntest the British troops lost about 14 killed and 30 wounded, besides some of their baggage. After the action Havelock's force retired towards Cawnpore, v here they arrived on the 20th of August, after a harassing and fatiguing march, during which they suffered severe privations, which were patiently borne by our gallant soldiers. Cholera had made its appearance among the men, carrying off 10 or 12 daily, but the ravages of this epidemic had since begun to abate. Gen. Outram had arrived at Alla habal on the Ist Sept., with her Majesty's sth Fusiliers, the 90th, and a company of Artillery. With this force he hoped to reach Cawnpore ou the 9th inst. The details of her Majesty's 64th, 78th, 84th, and Est Madras Fusiliers would follow on the arrival of Capt. Peel and his naval brigade at Alla habad. Sir Jamas Outram had communicated his arrangements to Gen. Havelock, who had in reply stated his perfect confidence in his being able to effect the relief of Lucknow with these reinforce ments. Gen. Outram had, with characteristic gene rosity, announced to Gen. Havelock that `to him should be left the glory of relieving Lucknow, for which he had so nobly struggled,' and that it was lds intention to accompany the force in his civil capacity, only placing his military services at the disposal of Gen. Havelock, if necessary. General Havelock was to make arrangements for the force to move forward from Cawnpore on the arrival of the reinforcements. The rebels have assembled on the Oude side of the river, opposite to the British camp, in great numbers, and have thrown up a battery. " The garrison at Lucknow, although reduced to great straits, is bravely holding out, and will no doubt do so until relieved by Gen. Havelock. For some time the situation of the beleaguered garrison was believed to be desperate, and the worst fears were entertained regarding their fate, as no tidings bad been received from them. Letters have since been received, stating that the garrison of Lucknow had communicated with Clan. Havelock, and ad vised him not to run any risk in attempting to re • liove them, as they had provisions enough for six months ; that the attacks of the enemy were be coming fewer and fainter, from the want of ammu nition, it was supposed ; and it was believed that the enemy were quarrelling among themselves. The latest intelligence received from Lucknow is, that 1,000 of the rebels htd collected, and these, with the elite of the rebel force, made an assault on the devoted garrison. They were repulsed with great slaughter, 200 of the Ghazeee being killed, and a great many of the wounded had since died. There is a want of proper food for the ladies and children, but the garrison get beef, and have plenty of grain. They have been ordered to hold out to extremity, and, with the fate of Cawnpore before their eyes, it is not likely that they will entertain the idea of surrender, with help so close at hand. A letter from Cawnpore, dated Aug. 31, says that at present the garrison of Lucknow is all right and in good spirits.' " The Din apore mutineers, completely broken and dispersed by the prudent combinations of Major Eyre, are now endeavouring to make their way to Delhi, across the hills in the Mirzapore district. Major Eyre had not succeeded in capturing Kooer Singh, the rebel leader, but a reward of 10,000 rs. has been offered for his apprehension. Those of the mutineers who escaped have taken refuge in the hill country of Rhotusghur, whither they were being followed by Major Eyre. They had since passed south of Mirzapore, and had crossed the Tonse river, which flows into the Ganges between Mims pore and Allahabad. A force under Major Hinds from Rewah is endeavouring to intercept them, but it is feared he will be unable to arrest their pro grese, which is marked by rapine and pillage. They will probably make towards Delhi, passing through the Banda district, which is utterly disorganised. " From Delhi we have no news of much import ance, though the British troops have become bolder in their attacks upon the enemy, who have been defeated on every occasion. General Nicholson's column, consisting of her Majesty's 52d Light In fantry, a wing of her Majesty's 61st Foot, and seve ral Sikh corps, arrived in the camp on the 11th of August. The auxiliary force furnished by the Sove reign of Cashmere, fully equipped, is also marching t a join Gen. Wilson's army, which will then be strong enough to act on the offensive. Lieutenant Hodson, with a small body of troops, had proved successful against the insurgents in the Rohtuck dis trict, whom he dispersed, killing about 80 of them. General Nicholson, with about 2,000 meta and 16 guns, marched on the 25th of August in the direction of Nujuffghur to meet a body of the enemy moving on that place, who were evidently bent on inter cepting the siege train by a flank march on Soneput. On the following day the rebels were defeated after a short encounter, in which they lost 13 guns besid.s their camp baggage. The loss in General Nicholson's brigade was 17 killed and wounded, including Lieut. Lumsden, of the 68th Native Infantry, who was killed. Lieutenant Gabbett, of her Majesty's 61st Foot, died of his wounds ; and Lieutenant Elking ton, 61st, and Dr. Ireland were both dangerously wounded. On the same day the mutineers in tho thinking that most of our troops had gone after their detachment, made an att ask on the camp, Intl it 'produced no impreision, and was repulsed with heavy lose. Aft..r thei r def . ,- at at Nujuffghur the mu tineers were much disheartened. Our troops were preparing for active operations on the arrival of the siege train, which was on its way to the and something. were delighted at th e prospect of doinc amp; At Hissar, iu the pr ov i nce of Itohilcu:d, the reh•s hive likewise been d e f ea t e d i n their designs, A body of upwards of 2,000 men, h orse and foot, attempted to surprise the gate of the town ou the 12th August ; but Lieutenant Mildinay, Assistant Political Aeent, who received a timely warning, met the assailants with some loyal troops, and totally routed and pur sued them, after killing 300 of their number. Other affairs of minor importauce have taken place, which will be found recorded elsewhere. " At Agra all was quiet up to the 27th of Aug., the date of our latest advices. On the 21st a force of about 153 of the 31 Europeans, under Captain Strover, three guns tinder Lieut. Griffin, and 30 mounted militia, the whole under Major G. J. Montgomery, Brigade-Major, left the fort with the view of making a demonstration against the insur gents in the neighbourhood of Hattrass. The force entered that pli ce w:thout opposition, but intelli gence having been received that a large party of the insurgents from Allyghur was moving down ,to at- TIIE LONBON' FRIDAY ITVEINoNn OTrOBER 16, 1 tack him, Major Montgomery promptly res olved to anticipate them, and accordingly marched. out to meet the rebels, who retired into a garden, where they were protected by a wall and sheltered among the trees. An ineffectual fire was opened on them to which they smartly replied, when the fanatics had the audacity to rush from under cover right upon the 3d Europeans, then in skirmishing order, and endeavoured to cut them down with their swords. A series of hand-to-hand combats took place, ending in the enemy being driven away, leaving 300 dead. The remainder fled, pursued by the militia cavalry, and mowed down by the artil lery. In this affair which occurred on the 24th Aug., Mr. J. O'Brien Tandy, late manager of the North- Western Bank in Calcutta, and Ensign H. L. Marsh, of the 16th Grenadiers, who accompanied the force as volunteers were killed, and Lieut. L. Clarke, late of the Gwalior Contingent, was severely wounded. The total loss on our side was five killed and 25 wounded. After the action Major Montgo mery, although pressed to follow up his successes, fell back upon Hattrase. " The Punjab continues quiet, although several outbreaks have occurred at isolated stations, which have been promptly suppressed by the firmness of the military authorities. On the 10th August a por tion of the 10th Light Cavalry, which had been dis armed at Ferozepore, mutinied and attempted to capture the guns of Captain Woodcock's battery, in which they failed. The mutineers, 100 in number, after having cruelly murdered Mr. Nelson, the vete rinary surgeon, rushed at the guns while the artil lerymen were at dinner, but, after killing the Euro pean sentry and wounding several others they were assailed by the Bombay Fusiliers, who repulsed them in a most gallant manner, although no officers appear to have been present to issue orders. Most of the mutineers, who had captured several horses, succeeded in making their escape, although pursued for some distance by the infantry, with guns. Seve ral having been seized in the cantonment, they were tried and executed. The 51st Bengal N. 1., stationed at Peshawar, mutinied on the 28th of August. This regiment having been disarmed some time ago, the Sepoys attempted to seize the arms of the new Sikh corps while the men of the latter were at dinner. In this attempt they were defeated, and, being attacked, they dispersed and fled. Nearly the whole of them, however, were accounted for' next day, and the villagers and police were brink ing in the small remnant by twos and threes. Throughout the rest of the Punjab the utmost tranquillity prevails, and the proceedings of the Government are marked by the greatest vigour and judgmeat. In the stations of Rajpoontana there is an uneasy feeling that the Bombay Sepoys are ripe for mutiny and several instances of disaffection seem to give colour to the suspicion. Besides the mutiny of the 12th N.I. at Nusseerabad, and in the Joudpore Le gion at Mount Aboo, there was a partial mutiny on the 12th Aug., of Captain Bannister's squadron of the 2d Bombay Light Cavalry at Neemuch. Five of the mutineers made their escape, and three were taken with arms in their hands. One man of Her Majesty's 83d Regiment was killed in the affray, and two were wounded. It also appears that an ex tensive plot to murder every officer at Neemuch had been organised, but was fortunately discovered before it took effect. The mutineers of the Joud poor Legion, being defeated in their attempt on Mount Aboo, directed their steps to Erinpoora, their head-quarters, where they were received with open arms by their comrades. Having made Lieutenant Connelly, the Adjutant of the corps, a prisoner, and being reinforced by several detach ments, the whole body, with two guns, marched in the direction of Nusseerabad. On this intelligence reaching Nusseerabad, the party of the Joudpore Legion stationed there was disarmed, and a de tachment of a couple of guns, 2 troop Horse Artil lery, two companies of her Majesty's 83d Regi ment, and some Irregulars, marched thence to wards Bewar, where it is supposed they will meet the Legion. Hitherto the execution of a subahtlar and four men of the 12th Regiment had restored tranquillity at Nusieerabad, where people had be gun to settle into the usual dull routine of camp life. Affairs have begun to assume a most serious aspect at Neemuch, and the men of the 2d Light Cavalry can hardly be relied upon ; for, independ ently of private hushed up rumours, which ascribe to them the darkest treason, the numerous deser tions that have taken place, combined with the overt mutiny of one squadron of this corps, justify the p:esumption. that they wilt en masse avail themselves of the first favourable opportunity to join the rebels.. This opportunity may not be far distant, for large parties of men, under a person said to be a son of the King of Delhi, who has lately joined and concentrated them, have estab lished themselves in the neighbourhood ofNeemuch. It has since been rumoured that the 2d Cavalry have had their carbines taken away from them, and that the Bheels of the Joudpore Legion have re turned to Erinpora, and set their Adjutant, Lieu tenant Connelly, at liberty. Another report states that an outbreak had taken place in a detachment of the 2d Light Cavalry at Deese, which was de stroyed by her Majesty 831 Regiment, who are said to have shot and bayonetted the troops t ) a man. " The Bengal Presidency is more or less in a dis tnrbel state, and great fears are entertained for the safety of the frontier stations, which are quite denuded of troops in consequence of the general defection of the native army. At Julpigoree, on the 11th of August, an attempt to excite diaffec tion among the 731 Bengal Native Infantry was signally defeated. An armed Brahmin appeared among the men, and called on them to kill their officers, and fight for their religion. In answer he was told that if he did not lay down his arms he would be shot, and as he persisted in his attempt to excite revolt he was killed by a Brahmin Sepoy. The sth Bengal Irregulars mutinied at Bhaugulpore on Aug. 14, and left the station, carrying their arms with them. They passed Bowsee on their way up the country, and endeavoured to tamper with the 23d Regt., stationed there, but the latter proved faithful, and will no doubt remain so. The 55th Bengal Native Infantry were disarmed at Ghazes pore on the 10th of August. The affair appears to have been capitally managed, for the Sepoys were surrounded and ordered to pile arms before they knew what was meant. The sth Fusiliers were the troops that performed this good service. Near Mirzapore the enemy began to assemble and were dispersed by a party of the sth Fusiliers. A naval brigade is to be established at Allahabad, so as to release the troops of that station for other duty. Capt. Peel, of her Majesty's steam-frigate Shan non, who distinguished himself in the Crimea, is to command the brigade, which is to consist of 300 seamen taken from the Shannon and Pearl. Six 68-pounders (8-inch), two 241 b. howitzers, and two field-pieces, accompany the brigade, which has left Calcutta in river steamers, and is now making its way towards Allahabad. This station and Benare3 are threatened by the Oude rebels, who are hover ing about in large bodies, but, as precautions have been taken to guard against a surprise, they are considered safe. The fort at Allahabad is in a complete state of defence, and the iutrenchmenti at Rajghaut, in Benares, are approaching comple tion. The station of Goruckpore, in Oude, has been abandoned, causing great loss to the non-official re sidents. The force of 3,000 Ghoorkas which was to protect that place have withdrawn to Azitnghur, where 1,000 will remain in garrison while 2,000 proceed immediately to restore order in Jaunpore. Accounts were received at Benares on the 24th of August, stating that a day or two previously an attack was made on the Ghoorka camp by a body of rebels under a man named Mahomel Hoosain, who had come over from Oude to assume the government of Goruckpore for the King. The Ghoorkas behaved nobly, and beat back the enemy, with the loss of 150 killed. O n th e 23d A ugus t a detachment of the Ist Madras Fusiliers and a few S khs proceeded 60 miles up the Ganges in the gun boat Jumna to cut off communication between Oude and the Duab. They killed about 43 of thy rebels, and burnt two boats. M a j or M'l ntyre, o f the 78th Highlanders, at the same time advanc d from Allahabad with a small body of men and two gulls, and burnt three villages on the Cawnporo road, restoring the communication with that place. A co!ltinu of troop', consisting of the left wing of her Majesty's 53d Regiment, the 27th Madras N. I. and a company of Madras Artillery, are advancing from Raneeg,unge, the terminus of the Calcutta Rail way, cli the Grand Trunk Road, towards Allahabad. In Bundelcrincl, around Nagodeand Fort Kulinger, the country is for many miles perfectly quiet. Lieut. Remington is holding the latter place with troops of the Rajah of Punna, who has displayed kraal zeal and loyalty in Vle cause of Gsvernment Major Elli s , th e political agent of Bundelcund and Rewah, is possessed of eunsid_Table influence among w the various Rajahs in the provinces, avid it is perhaps O ing to his deserve good judgment that most of them have remained loyal ; but they, nevertheless, and more are near at band, great . credit.

Lord Elgin left Ca on 3d Sept., in the Peninsular ancartilenfot pang's steamer Ava. Sir P. Grant had returned to Madras and resumed his duties in that Presidency. Lord Canning is still at the seat of Gove r n ment , f "In the. Bombay Presidency we have been com paratively quiet, and no fresh disturbances have occurred at any of our Mofussil stations, On the Bth Sept. 18 prisoners, who had been convicted of treason, were executed at Sattara, in the presence of an immense multitude of people, who assembled from all parts to witness the spectacle. Five of the prisoners were hanged, six were blown away from guns, and seven were shot. Everything passed off quietly, and the scene must have inspired the na tives with a wholesome dread, which will tend to keep them in submission. Several arrests were being made in the city, but none of the people, dreamt of creating a disturbance. Wherever dis affection has shown itself in Western India it has been stifled with unrelenting sternness, and the 'authorities deserve great credit for their conduct (Tilling the crisis, when the flames of revolt threat ened to spread within our borders. As long as the mails body of the troops continue loyal there can be no fear of the result, as we are quite able to I .)ut down the unaided efforts of the mob. Every important station, too, from Dh arwar , i n th e sou th , t o Acluae dabad, in the north, has been secured by European troops, so that no fear can be entertained of popu lar outbreaks in the large towns. The Mohurrum, which has generally been a period of excitement to the Mussulman population, has passed off quietly throughout the Presidency, owing to the admirable arrangements of the Executive for preserving the public peace. Her M a j es ty' s 89th R eg i men t ar rived in Bombay from the Cape on the 11th Sept., and have been despatched to Ahmedabad and Dee sa. Other regiments are also soon expected, so that we may consider that all danger is past, and that we shall shortly re-establish our power throughout the country. The weather in Bombay has continued to improve, and we now enjoy a mild temperature, having alternate rain and sunshine during the day. The fall of rain on the island is nearly 70 inches. The Governor and Commander-in-Chief are both at the Presidency, to which the latter returned a few days ago." the important district of Goruckpore has been abandoned by the order of this Government. The garrison of Lucknow has not been relieved, and it appears unlikely that our troops can reach it before the end of this month. The mutineers and insur gents, though con' emptiblein the field, are so nu merous as to throw great difficulties in the way of an advancing force, and the season in which every stream is overflowing and the country almost im passable is an additional obstacle to military opera tions. At this season, too, the exposure of a cam paign inevitably produces much sickness, and our European soldiers have suffered severely from it. We expect some reinforcements during the present month, and by the end of Oct. we may reasonably hope for the arrival of a force sufficient to put down rebellion in these provinces. Its fate inUpper India must be decided by troops sent up the Indus and the Punjab levies. Order and - obedience may then be restored, and an entire new system adopted, whether military or civil. It is too soon to speculate upon the course that ought to be or will be pursued, at present it is sufficient to record events which follow in such rapid succession, and which must ultimately determine the measures to be adopted. " We observe that the home authorities boast of the slight depreciation which the rebellion has caused in Government securities. In the revolted district Company's paper for the last three months has be©n sold at 50 to 8a per cent, di scoun t ! Thi s, however, affords no criterion of public opinion, as much so offered may either have been plundered from its rightful owners or been the property of those in open rebellion, to whom it was valueless. But here at the seat of Government and the centre of money transactions the fall has been steady and c rnsiderable. Five per cent. parer has been sold at 12, and four per cent. paper at 24 p er cen t. dis (*ant, and no considerable sum could be disposed of even at a much lower rate, " The Bank of Bengal last week issued a circu lar to the other local banks, announcing that the directors have resolved upon declining to make any loans or opening cash credits on deposit of Com pany's paper, and that all applications for renewal of existing loans or cash credits must be submitted for the special consideration of the directors. " This measure, at a moment when the approach ing Doorgah Poojah holidays naturally create an increased call for accommodation, will be produc tive of serious inconvenience, and may be att.qideil with disastrou3 consequence to the mercantile community and to trade in general. " The Bank of Bengal ought to have drawn in its horns the day after the news of the Delhi mas sacre arrived. But the Government directors have acted like inexperienced navigators, who trust they can carry sail th roug h wh a t they deem and assert to be a mere passing squall, while more ex perienced seamen s have already made all snug iu expectation of the coining hurricane." MADRAS. We have received files of the Madras Athenceam, to the 12th of September inclusive. The Madras Presidency was perfectly tranquil. DELHI. (From the Bombay Times.) LAHORE, Aug. 25.—From the Camp before Delhi, 4 p.m., Aug. 23 :—" Nothing of moment to-lay.

They were in good heart and are a fine body of men. Tbey were to resume their march towards D,lhl last night. A letter from Hansi reports that the affair with the insurgents at Hisser (which was noticed in the public papers of yesterday) was most satisfactory, about 350 of them having been killed. Lieutenant Boileau, who had received a severe sword cut, was doing well. The revenue coflection e in Hurreeanah are progressing favourably, and it only remained to reduce the refractory village of Jumalpore to restore quiet to the district. All quiet in the Punjaub.

The fellawing is front Delhi :—" 4 p.m., Aug. 27. — The total lose in Gen.

The guns captured are one 24-pounder howi:ztr, two 12-pounder howitsers, two 9-pounder gene, four 6-pounder guns, and four 3-poun der brass guns of native manufacture. We have now secured all the gene of Mackenzie's troop, and Captains Kirby and De Tessfer's baVeries. The attack on our positi n yesterday ceased in the evening.

Their cavalry was wed punished with the grape from the heavy gnus in our centre battery. A 1 well at Agra on the 21st." It is reported that the force under Bulcht Khan, wh'eh was ranted by Gene al Nicholedn Nuzuffghur, was cv;ilently bent on intercepting the siege Cain by a (link march en Saneeput. It was cetapo , ed of the nth, 23. b, 29th, 68th, end 3d Revnents Native Infantry, the 8 h Irregular Cavalry, and detachments of the 13th and 14th, and 13 guns, with all the arms, ammunition, , fraught flow Barri ly. This force was to have be,n fellow. d in a couple of days by the Neewuch brigade. It is probah;e, however, that a portion of the latter brigade was present at Nuzuffghur, as the gun'. of Meeker z I, ' ll trop belonged to it. The 51st Regiment of Native Infantry broke out yes terday at Pehhawur, and made an attempt to seize tLe arms of one of the new Sikh regiments, whili the me were at dinner, The mutineers, however, were repelled with lot.a. They were broke and dispersed, and doubt• l!his will be destr)yed. Thirteen of the Light Cavalry mutineers were hanged at liodiattab .veeteony evening, and the sante number of the 26,11 at ci 46th at Julio adur : the latter had been se:z d and sent in by the R4jah of Chutnba. T .vo hun dred men of the sth and 60th Native Infantry buying been ordered into confinement at Umbal'ah at tempted to escape ; 100 were killed on the spot, 25 were seized, and the rest were being pursued. LAHORE, Aug. 30.—Fro:n llehi there was nothing of moment to report up to 4 a.m. of the 23th inst. Cotton reports from Pa-:;hawur that out of 871 of the 51st Regt. 735 are " accouutd for," and that Cie missing men are being brought in by two and threes by the ville , ers and police. The force beaten by Gen. Nichol ion at Nuzuffghur on the 26th appears to have been composed mainly of the Neenauch brigade, with a number of fanatics and others. The Rohilcund brigade is said t) have been four cove in the rear and unable to afford support. After the action General Nicholson blew up at.d destroyed the bridge at Khurkonda. The town of Parham, i❑ liurreeanah, has unfortu nately been sacked and plundered by Maho►ued Az , em who alio cut up about 50 or GO of the Bikaneer horse men. LAHORE, Aug. 31.—N0 news from Delhi, or from any other quarter of importance. Gen. Wilson awaits the siege train, to reeutno offenBive operations at Delhi. The insurgents appear a good deal depressed by the defeat at Nuzuffghur; our troops have also obtained very considerable plunder, as the enemy still continue their former practice of carrying their in-gotten gains about them. LAHORE, Sept. I.—Up to 4 p.m. Aug. 29, nothing of moment had occurred at Delhi. P.S.—The following just received from Delhi :—" 5 p.m., August 30.—Last night, for the security of our working party, it was necessary to take some of the enemy's breastworks between our advanced pickets, the Sammy house, and the town. Phis was done in the most gallant style with a rush, the enemy having 14 killed. Two men of the 60th Rifles were killed in this attack." LAHORE, Sept. 2.—Nothing from Delhi by telegraph since yesterday. Letters state that the mutineer force routed by Gen. Nicholson near Nuzuffghur consisted of the Neemuch brigade and Kotah Contingent, with a large body of cavalry, including the 13th and 14th Irregulars. "All in camp in Delhi elated at the prospect of offen sive operations against the city ; considerable progress made on the night of the 29th ult. in clearing ground to our right front. Enemy all)wed a trench to be made from the advanced l oat on the right to the ravine, form ing a natural parallel, without molestation, but now (on the 30th) they appear too late to have discovered the mischief it portends. All quiet in Rajpootana, and Jeyporo has sent its tribute. LAHORE, Sept. 3.—There is nothing further from Delhi, most probably owing to the heavy rain. There is a report from Delhi, that on the 314 ult , 22 carts, laden h the families of the residents, had left for Rewarree, and that numbers were daily leaving the city. J. D. MACPHERSON, Liieut.-Colonel, Military Secretary to the Chief Commissioner. CAWNPORE. (Front the Poonah. Observer.) The following order was issued 'by Gen. Havelock after the action at Bithoor, when the enemy were de feated for the ninth time since the commencement of the campaign : " FIELD FORCE OEDER. "Cawnpore, Aug. 17. "The Brigadier-General est:nu - landing congratulates the troops on the result of their exertions in the combat of yesterday. The enemy were driven, with the loss of 250 killed and wounded, from one of the strongest posi tions iu India, which they obdurately defended. They were the flower of tke mutinous soldiery, flushed with the successful defection at Saugor and Fyzabad ; yet they stood only one short hour against a handful of soldiers of the State whose ranks had been thinned by sickness and the sword. May the hopes of treachery and rebellion be ever thus blasted ; and if conquest can now be achieved under the most trying circumstances, what will be the triumph and retribution of the time when the armies from China, from the Cape, and from England, shall sweep through the land ? Soldiers ! in that mo ment your labours, your privations, you: sufferings, and your valour will not be forgotten by a grateful country. You will be acknowledged to have been the stay and prop of British India in the_ time of her severest trial."' The following letter from a non-commissioned officer of her Majesty's 78th Highlanders to a friend in Bombay has been kindly placed at our disposal APahabad, Aug . . 21. " The news received from Cawnpore yesterday was anything but cheering. Our brave little force at that place had just fought their ninth battle, and the state of the troops was frightful; nearly all were sick, and a great many were dying from Cholera. They can scarcely number 800 men, but even this small force, weak as they were, marched out 12 miles from Cawn pore to dislodge the enemy, beat them, and captured two guns; but poor fellows, after this achievement they were so done up that they could not march back to Cawnpore, but had to halt till evening ere they could accomplish it, and even then a number died on tba‘way. They are now, poor fellows, looking at each other, wondering who is to be tb.e next victim of disease. They are waiting in Lucknow for reinforcements, and I think they will have to wait some time, for, though the-troops are arriving in Calcutta daily, still, as they are sent up country, magistrates and others delay them for the better protection of the stations on the river ; but unless General Havelock gets more troops to his assistance, I fear it will be a second Cawnpors business. " You are of course aware that Havelock's column was fighting its way to as-ist the garrison at Lucknow. Havelock, however, could not manage it, owing to the frightful sickness and mortality, arising from fatigue and exposure, that prevailed among the men, and he was obliged to retire on Cawnpore. When the enemy heard of their r,t r:ng trey followed them, but to show them that our troops were not dispirited Havelock nein met them, and gave them another beating. In this affair the 78th Highlanders, about 150 strong, were in advance, the Ist Madras Fusiliers having been sent to the right. Our zu-n were under a tuoit galling fire, every shot carrying off some of them ; they got the word to charge, and on they went like tigers, putting 7,000 to flight and capturing two guns. The General galloped up and paid thane a well-merited compliment; they then gave the General three cheers, but he roared out, Highlanders, don't cheer me, you have done it all yourselves; I had nothing to do with it.' He then gave an order, that if any person knew who was the first man of the 78th in the eneniy's batteries to tell him, and he would recom mend him for the Victoria Cross." THE CAWNPORE MASSACRES. The following is an account of the defence and massacre at Cawnpore by Lieut Dalafosss, one of the survivors : " Sem° time before any disturbance broke out at Cawnpore, and it was only expected that there might be an outbreak among the troops, General Wheeler order ad over from Oude a reeisnent of Irregular Ca.valty, which was quartered in different parts of the canton ments. At the some time officers were ordered to sleep in the lines with their men ; and assistance was asked from the Rajah of Bithoor, the }Tana, who sent some 200 cavalry, 400 •infantry, and two guns, which force had the guarding of the Treasury. A few days later the Oude Irregulars were ordered out of the station, as the General found he could not trust them, and were re lieved by a company of the 32d Regiment from Lucknow. General Wheeler gave the order for all the European inhabitants to sleep near the 32i Regiment's bak racks, also for the Artillery to be ready to move , down at any moment. On the 2d of Juno two companies . of the 84th Regiment arrived from Allahabad ; but on the morning of the 3d General Wheeler gave orders for one company of the 84th, made up to its full strength, together with the com pany of the 321 Regiment, to maroh to Lucknow, so that we had left at Cawnpore GO men of the 84th Regi ment, 70 of the 321, 15 of the let Madras kesileera and a few men of the Artil:ery with six guns. " Oe the morning of the 4th of June the officers of the cavalry, the let and 56th Regiments were ordered to discontinue sleeping iu their lines ; but the 531 Native Infantry being considered loyal the officers of that corps were still to be with their men. On the afternoon of the Sunday Lieutenant Ache a• rived with half a battery of Oude Horse Artillery, two 9 pounders and a 24 pounder, having been oblised to retire on Cawnpore, as the troops that were with him on bis way to Futtyghur had mutinied on the road on the sth of June. The trenches being finished the guns were placed in, and provisions for about 25 days were ordered in them. At ;shout 11 o'clock that night the cavalry rose, taking with them their arms and two horses each. Early xt morning the Ist Regiment Native Infantry was reported to have gone. Tee 531 appeared still loyal, remaining iu their lines ; but ai none of the officers were with their men, and as there was do one to look after them, they also went off, without any one missing them, between 8 and 9 o'clock, taking with them the regimental treasure and colours, and as much ammunition at they could carry. That afternoon every house was burnt, fires were seen in every direction; we could do nothing but stay wilt re we were, being too few in number to meet the rebels, as all the Golundazes belonging to the artillery had gone away soon after Lieut. Ashe's arrival, and volunteersfor the artillery were either' in from the infantry. Next morning, the 7th of June, a letter was received from the Rajah of Blamer, who was supposed to be see our side, saying he meant to attack us. Soon after two guns opeced upon us. from the north-west and musketry from all directions. On the Bth three more guns were brought against us. Toe number of guns against us increased daily, and on the 11th the enemy bad playing upon us night and day three mortars, two 24-pounders, three 18-pounders, one or two 12-ecunders, about the same number of 9-pounders and one 6-pounder. On or about the 12th of June the insurgents by firing set on fire the large barracks in which all the women of the 321 Regiment and the wounded were placed. No sooner was the fire perceived than the • assembly' was soueded, and every wan had t t stand to his post, as we exeected to be attacked. There was no place fur the women and children to go to bet the trenches, where many of them had to reinalu night and day. There was I u Shelter now e for the need any where during the day and from this date we have lost five or six men daily from sunstroke. On the —of June, alter having bout on half rations fur seine days, the Rajah sent a ha:f caste woman with a note into the trenches, t the effect that all soldiers and Europeans who had nothing to do with Lord Dalhousie's government, and would lay do NII their arms, should be sent to Al:ahabad. Gentled Wheeler gave ordtre to Captain Moore to act as he should consider beat. Captain Moore that evening signed a treaty to the effect Celt the Rajah should pro vide boats and carriage for the won eded and ladies down to the river bank, while on our side we were to give up what treasure we had, together with wine and eirnuei tion. On the 26th a committee of officers %vent to tle river to tee that the beats were reedy a n d serv i ceable and every hing being reported ready, and carriage fur the wounded having :snivel, we save our gee-, &0., ant marched out on the morning of the 27th of June, about 7 o'click. We got demi to the river and into CALCUTTA MAIL. We take the following summary from the Bengal Harkaru of Sept. 9 : " Seventeen days have glided by since the last mail left Calcutta, and if we have no great successes to record, there are at least no fresh massacres to lament. So far as we know Delhi has not yet been taken, and, certainly, Lucknow is yet unrelieved. Agra still holds out, and, thanks to the fidelity of Scindia, it is not threatened ; and though the at mosphere seems charged with thunder the storm has not broken out afresh during the last fortnight in any of the disturbed districts.' " When the last mail left we were entering upon the Mohurrum—that season during which the Ma homedans often work themselves up into ungovern able fury. Thanks to the precautions forced upon the Government the dreaded week has tided over without the smallest attempt at disturbance or in surrection. Meanwhile every eye has been turned upon Lucknow and our heroic countrymen there who have so long defended their position against enormous odds. Their fate has been trembling in the balance. On the 10th of July last intimation was cone eyed to Government that their provisions were sufficient to support them for 6 weeks. This brought them up to the 22d Aug. That day, how ever, approached, and there were no signs of relief. But General Havelock, though he failed in his at tempt about that time to relieve Lucknow, so far succeeded that he drew the besiegers upon his small force. This enabled the beleagured garrison to make a sally, which was not only successful as to the de struction of the enemy, but enabled them to bring in a further amount of bullocks—sufficient for about three weeks' consumption. It was then calculated that they could hold out up to the 9th or 10th Sept. ; and it was hoped that reinforcements, con sisting of the sth Fusilieers and 90th Foot, would reach Cawnpore at the latest on Sept. 1, and thus easily enable Gen. Havelock to effect the relief of the garrison before the 9th. There is, however, au old adage that too many cooks spoil the broth. Sir Colin Campbell had not been allowed at that time to take his ,seat in council, and he therefore could exercise no effectual control over the movemen's of the troops. Gen. Outram and the officers command ing at Dinapore and Benares had all fingers in the pie, and the result was that the two regiments on reaching Mirzapore were called back t:Disepore, and then sent on again in the Mirzapore and Allaha bad direction. It is but fair to Gen. Outram to add that letters recently received assert that the recall was in no way his deed, and that he disapproved it from the first. Be that as it may, the subject is one which demands a searching inquiry, and the po session of high office either in the civil or in the mi litary department should not be allowed to screen the culprit. A delay of ten days was by th;s mismanagement caused at a most critical period, and, but for the marked intervention of Provi dence, must have proved fatal to our country men at Lucknow. Happily, however, another opportunity presented itself for making a sortie. This time it was attended with greater suc cess than ever.prore than 1.00 of i the enemy were blown into the air by a mine ; a 24-pounder gun which had greatly annoyed them was spiked, and large supplies of provisions were secured. The garrison now consis's of about 500 men, of whom 150 are in hospital ; there are also about 300 women and children, who have gone through all the dangers and hardships of the siege, certain (for the fate of the Cawnpore garrison had reached them) of a cruel death if compelled by famine or any other cause to surrender. We may now almost look upon their re lief as secure ; humanly speaking it is quite so. General Outram, with 1,300 men of the sth Fusi leers and 70th, was at Allahabad on the Ist inst. They were expected at Cawnpore on the 11th; there they wottld find General Havelock with 1,100 men and 20 guns, some of them of large calibre ; and a strong conviction was felt that such a force, urged on with determination, would ba sufficient to over come the opposition, great as it was likely to be, waiting for it on the Lucknow-road. "From Delhi we receive cheering intelligence. The insurgents had commenced fighting amen rethem .selve s, and the King had transmitted a secret mes sage to Mr. Colvin, offering to give in provided lie was replaced in the position he occupied before the revolt. It is to be hoped that this offer was rejected with scorn. Our army occupied an unassailable posi tion before Delhi, and had been largely reinforced by the moveable column, consisting of her Majesty's 52d and a wing of the 61st, with some Sikh corps, under Brigadier-General N icholson, a young soldier, but one marked ont for distinction. Shortly after his arrival in camp the Neemuch and Bareilly mutineers made a strong effort to attack our forces in the rear. General Nicholson was sent out against them with his division, and completely defeated them, capturing 12 pieces. It is believed that the final assault on the imperial city will not be much longer delayed. Sir Colin Campbell, it is rumoured, has sent up orders to make short work of it, and General Wilson is not the man to retard the execution of such an order a single hour. "The province of Behar, and the districts around the cities of Benares, Patna, and Mirzapore are still in an unsettled state, but in all of them the Mo hurrum passed without any decided manifestation of insurrection. At _Benares, indeed, an impreg nable fortress has been erected near Raj Ghat on the bank of the river, commanding the whole city, so that the smallest demonstration could be most effec tually quelled. That city istherefore safe. Patna!), too, has continued quiet. That it has remained so is due entirely to the exertions of Mr. Wm. Tayler, who overawed the natives by a judicious coarse of severity. Sir Colin Campbell, it is believed, will leave for the North-West in about a mouth, and, taking up Havelock's force, w,ll open direct communications ' with Delhi. There are several first-rate officers in Calcutta waiting for employ, who will be glad to accompany him. " The past fortnight has been one of almost un equalled pressure in the money market, the Bsnk of Bengal having refused to discount Court of Di rectors bills with more than 60 days to run, or to make and renew loans upon Government paper to the other banks. The immediate cause of these steps is believed to be the crippled positiou the bank directors find themselves in by having ad vanced to a large extent upon Company's paper without reserving a sufficient margin tospecula'ors and of hers who have left the Bank in the lurch wis 11 the paper, not being able to take up the loans or to pay the difference between what it is really worth and the amount advanced upon it by the Bank. We leave our readers to judge of the wisdom and ability which governs the Bank of Bengal, and which has produced such a state of things. We have since heard that two of our local banks, which held a large amount of Court of Directors' bills, finding them inconvertible into cash, applied to the Government to pay them under discount, which has been granted under the special circumstance', and will no doubt aff.)rd some relief to the fair trading puhlic, whose interests heve been so ruthlessly sacrificed by the directors of the Bank of Bengal to the speculatere and jobbers in Company's paper. " Exchange opened at 2s. 21,1. for first-class six months' sight bills, and, in consequence of the pressure in the money market advanced to 2s. 34d., but closes a trifle easier." The Calcutta Englishman of Sept. 9 makes the following somewhat gloomy observations : " We yesterday published news from Delhi to the 26th August, by which it will be seen that Delhi still holds out, and that no positive &Ito can yet be fixed for its reduction. With regard to other districts, so far from peace and good order being re-established, disorder and rebellion have extended to provinces which in June were pE-rfect'y tranquil. The greater part of Behar and the south western frontier of Bengal are in confusion, ar.d 857 the boats without being molested in the least ; but re sooner we were in the boats, and had laid down out muskets, and had taken off our coats to work easier ai the boats, than the cavalry gave the order to fire. Two guns that had been bidden were run out and opened on us immediately, while Sepoys came from all directions and kept up a fire. The men jumped out of the boats, and instead of trying to get the boats loose from their mooring swam to the first boat they saw loose. Only three boat: got safe over to the opposite side of the river, but were met there by two field-pieces, guarded by a number o' cavalry and infantry. Before these boats had got a milt down the stream halt our small party were either kills , ' or wounded, and two of our boats had been swamped. We had now only one boat, crowded with wounded. and having on board more than she could carry. The two guns followed us the whole of the day, the infantry firing ou us the whole of that night. On the second day a gun was seen on the Cawnpore side, and opened on us at Nuzuffghur, the infantry still following us on hod sides. On the morning of the third day the boat was ne longer serviceable. We were aground on a sandbank, and had not strength sufficieut to move her. Directly any of us got into the water we were fired upon by 30 or 40 men at a time. There was nothing lett but to charg, and drive them away. So 14 of us were told to go am do what we could. Directly we got on shore the inset.- gents retired, but having followed them up too far, we were cut off from the river, and had to retire ourselves, as we were being surrounded. We could not make fel the river, but had to go down parallel, and came at th' river again a mile lower down, where we saw a larg. force of men right in front waiting for us, and anothti on th,p other bank, should we attempt to cross the river. On the bank of the river, just by the force in front, wac a temple, in which we took shelter, one man being killed and one wounded. From the door of the temple we fired on every insurgent who showed himself. Finding that they could do nothing against us while we remained inside, they heaped wood ail round and set it on fire. When we could no longer remain inside on account of the smoke and heat we threw off the clothes bad, and each taking a musket charged through the fire Seven of us out of twelve got into the water, but be fore we had gone far two poor fellows were shot. There were only five left now and we had to swim, while the insurgents followed us along both banks, wading and firing as fast as they could, Aft er we ad gone about three miles down the stream, one of our party an artilleryman, to rest himself, began swimming on hi. back, and not knowing in what direction he was swim ming got on shore aid was killed. When we had gone down about six milei firing on both sides ceased, and soon after we were hailed by some natives on the Oude side. who asked us to come on shore, and said they would take us to their Rajah, who was friendly to the English. W. gave ourselves up, and were taken six miles inland to the Rajah, who treated us very kindly, giving us clothes and food. We stayed with him for about a month, - as ht would not let us leave, saying the roads were unsafe. At last he sent us off ou the 29th of July to the right bant of the river to a zemindar of a village, who ant us a hackery. W e t oo k our d e pa r ture on the 31st of July for Allahabad, but met the detachment of the 84th Regt. under Lieutenant Woodhouse before we had gone 10 miles ; and marched off with him to Cawnpore.

The following narrative, received from a native, of the occurrences at Cawnpore was sent to us fur publication by a gentleman at Benares Oa the 31 of May (?) all the Native Infantry and Cavalry regiments at Cawnpore mutinied and ran off to loot the treasury, all of which they took ; they then burn tthecollector's house, and then proceeded to Kulea.u pore, seven miles from Cawnpore, and encamped there. At this piece the Nana Sahib met them, and said to the mutineers, "You receive seven rupees from the British Government ; I will give you 14 rupees ; don't go to Delhi ; stay here, and your name will be great. Kill all the English in Cawnpore first, and I will give, ou each a golden bracelet." On hearing this all the mutineers agreed to the terms of the Nana. The mutineer% made a Saubandar of the Ist Regiment General, and he again made all the Havildars and Naicks captains, lieutenaors, and ensigns. The Nana said, "I will supply you all with food." Oa the following day the Nana, with the above regiments, proceeded to Cawnpore, looted all the residents' houses, and then set fire to them. The re i• dents were in the entrenchment; those who did not go there were murdered, together with the drummers and native Christiats. It was the intention of some of the officers to blow up the magazine, and for this purpoes they proceeded to the station. When they reached the canal all the regiments fired on the party, killed wee officer, adjutant of the 2d Cavalry, and the rest e;ceped to the entrenchment for their lives. They unfortunately left agun behind them, which they had taken from the entrenchment. On the party reaching the camp fire aas opened on the E ng li s h people by the mutineers, and can non were placed on the three sides of the entrenchment. On the canal side a 24-pounder, to the hospital side an 18-pounder, on the third side, near Suhada (?), twol2- pounders, were placed. There were six guns inside the entrenchment, only 9-pounders. The guns of the n trenchinent only fired 24 hours, being injured by the heavy shot of the enemy. The mutineers fired day and night for 22 days. Nearly all the English people died from wounds from cannon halls, hunger and thirst, and sun-stroke. Nearly all the bheestees were killed by cannon balls. The chief well being outside the entrench ment the people got very little water to drielt, except what the soldiers drew for them under fire of the guns. After ten days a shell burst on the roof of the pucka house in the entrenchment, which se.t the building on fire. All the good clothes and other articles of the soldiers and children were burnt, for which reason they were reduced to the greatest straights, and very little food wan cxiked, as nearly all the servants rail away from flight. The soldiers used to cook for the ladies and children, but for several days they took no food a t all. During this period abuut 150 men, women, and children died from natnral causes and wounds, particu liily women and children; some died from the falling of walls, Mr. JacoLi's wife was hiding in one of the Nawab's house?, and was discovered by a sowar, who took her to 4,0 Nana Sahib in Ifiudostanee clothes, having c:tught her at on e o f th e g hauts crossing to L u cknow. as the N twat) was sending her there fur safety. The . Nana i.n• pi isoned her with a Mrs. Greenaway. The Sepoys were by thin time becoming disgusted at the fight continuing so long, and*said, "It you don't keep your promise with us, wo will kill you." Oa this the Nana said, " Don't be alarmed, I will give you more than I proini4sd.” He then said to Mrs. Jacobi, " Will you take a note to Gen. Wheeler ?" She said •‘ Yes ;'! the letter was written, and sent by Mrs. Jacobi to the General ; she was not at first alb wed to come n.. , ar the camp by the soldiers, but when they heard the Englieh voice they allowed her to do e). The contents of the letter were, " It is far better for you who are alive to go at once to Allahabad, linters you wish to continue fighting ; if so, you can do so. Let C iwnpore be given up, and you shall be saved." On reaching the entrenchment Gen. Wheei€r went to meet :qrs. Jacobi and, after having read the note, said, "I .a.nnot agree to anything sent this way by letter ; if the Nana has any proposition to make, tell him to make it in person." Mrs. Jacobi took this reply back to the Nana, who said, "If the Europeans will cease firing, I Hill go," and sent back a reply. The General said, `Let both sides cease firing during the conference ;" it was greed to. On the following day the Nana, his brcther Sober Dutt (?), and nephews, and a large party of soldiers, came up to the entrenchment ; Gen. Wheeler was ready to meet them; the Nana said, "Take all the women and children to Allahabad, and if your men want to fight some back and do 139. We will keep implicit faith with rou." Gen. Wheeler said, " You take your solemn uatb, ,ccordieg to your customs, and I will take an oath on !ny Bible, and will leave the entrenchment.' The Nana said, "Our oath is that whoever we take by the band, ind he relies on us, we never deceive ; it we do, God vill judge and punish us." The General said, "If you intend to deceive me kill me at once ; I have no arms." ['he Nana replied, "I will not deceive you ; rely on us. [ will supply you with food, &c., and convey you to Aelahabad. ' On this the General went inside the en trenchment, and consulted with the soldiers. They said, " There's no reliance to be placed on natives, they viii deceive you ;" a few said, "Trust them ; it is tter to do so." On this the General returned, and " I agree to your terms. See us away as far as Leuttehpore ; thence we can get easily te Allahabad." rhe reply was, " No, Sir • I see you all safe to Allahaead." O n thi s 20 Coats were ordered with covers to them. When the Nana saw all was settled, he said, " Don't let the treasure be taken ; send that to me." The General said, " You may have the money ;" there were three sacs in cash at this time. The Nana said, "You breakfast on board the boats at 10 a.m. to-morrow, and dine on board, and leave the entrenchment clear by 11 a.m." The General assented to this. They were all ready, when a message from the Nana came, saying, " The boats will not be ready to-day ; you must leave to-morrow, leave in the evening." The General said, " I won't leave at night, as you may play us false." The Nana said, " Very well, leave at 4 p.m." On the follow lug day the Nana took away all the treasure. At this time the delay again took place in their departure ; all the ladies and children were dressed and ready. The General asked the Nana, "Are all our servants to go with us, or do you supply us v ith servants ?" The reply e a ., "Yes." On the following day, though suspicions were entertained of the faith of the Nana's party, still they hoped all was right. The Nana sent on Sunday to say the servants were not to go, as the ladies and women could look after themselves. On this being heard they were all Termed. At 7 a.m, the mutineers surrounded the en trenchment and all the Englishmen in their power ; the servants ran away and were cut down ; a few escaped ; all were alarmed. The rebels reached (?) the entrenchments and said, " Come to the boats ; all is ready." Ladies end children were sent on elephants, dhoolies, and the men marched to the river, and then embarked on the boats. When they all saw food prepared and all comfortable they were delighted. When a few had gone on board and others were waiting to em bark on the river side a gun opened on them with canister (this gun and others had been masked) ; one boat took fire, and then another gun opened, and four boats were fired ; on this those who escaped the fire jumped into the water. The Sepoys also fired muskets, the Sowers entered the water on horseback, and cat numbers down. 15 boatloads of English were massacred ; 108 women and children escaped this massacre, but many of them were wounded. The Nana said, " Don't kill these ; put them in prison." Ore boat, in which General Wheeler was, was p u ll e d o ff b y the soldiers. The poor people on the burning of the boats, and when in the water, were calling on God for help. A daughter of General Wheeler's was taken off by a Sower and put into his house along with his wife, near the church. This girl remained till nightfall, and when he came home drunk and fell asleep she took a sword and cut off his head, his mother's head, two childrens' heads, and his wife's ; and then walked out into the night air, and when she saw other Sowers she said, "Go inside and see how nicely I have rubbed the Ressalde,r's feet." They went inside, and found all of them dead. She then jumped into a well and was killed. From fear of what this girl had done none of the rebels would have anything to say to the English woman. whom the Nana at first proposed to give to the soldiers ; 115 women and children were imprisoned with scarcely any food for six days except gram and such stuff. The boat containing General Wheeler and other ladies and gentlemen got off for 22 miles, when they were seized by the Zemindars of Jognubar, and had their hands tied behind them and were taken back to the Nana. Mrs. Reed, Thomas Greenway, Mrs. Kirkpatrick, Mrs. M'Kerzie, and Capt. M'Kenzie,and Dr. Harris, and several Europeans were among the party, The Nana was much pleased. Owing to the General's of l age, he said, Loosen his eeree." Hoolar Sing, kotwal of Cawnpore, said, "Don't do so." The Nana said, "Take them to the guard, and let the others remain where they ale." Dr. Harris was wounded with two balls, and then addressed the rebels : —" Shoot me or kill me —my countrymen will revenge my death before long." Two Sowers then cut him down and he died, If the &mindere had not seized this boat all would have been saved in it. Those ladies who were first in the Nana's prison had their food of the worst description from the bazaar. Ten days after this he sent them to a house near the Assembly-rooms. Then the Nana wrote to Delhi mentioning the nu m b er of women and children whom he had taken, and soliciting in.truce tions regarding thorn. A reply was received that they were not to be killed, The Nana then entertained ser vants for the prisoners. Again, shortly after the mutiny at Allahabad, a S war came in and reported that one of the imprisoned ladies had written to Allahabad, and that a large body of Europeans was aivancing upon Cawnpore. Then the Nana gave the order to kill every one—to spare no one. This took place on the 15th of July, but the General and others who were brought back with him wore killed on the 2d of the mouth. When the ladies heard of the Nana's order to kill them they tore their clothes and with the shreds fastened the doore First the Sowers killed the native doctor, the cook, and the metranee. Then one Sowar jumped over the wall and began the slaughter ; other Sowara came through the doors, and all the prisoners were killed. This was duly reported to the Nena, who ordered the bodies to be cast into a well, and 25 women and chil dren who had remained alive under the heap of dead bodies were killed by executioners, and some of the little children were dulled to pieces against the ground. This took place early on the morning of the 17th of July, and in the evening the Nana ran off to Bithoor. Many wounded w , nen were thrown into the well with the dead bodies and earth. Before the Nana retreated be blew up the magazine. "The above is the deposition of Mary Ann, ayah in the service of Mrs. T. Grueuway, Cawnpore."—E n glalo man, Sept. 7. The following is a statement of the information received regarding the mutiny at Cawnpore : On the morning of the sth of June, at two a.m., the 2d Regiment of Light Ca va l r y an d t h e let Regiment 01 Native Infantry suddenly left their lines, under the command of Teeka Sing, a soubandar of the 2d Ca valry. After setting fire to the Staff-Serveante' bunga lows of the 21 Cavalry, they then burnt the empty huts of the 3d Native Infantry Regiment, situated on the o ld side of the cantonments on the west side of the canal. After this they proceeded to the collector's treasury, containing about nine lace of rupees, and the magazine, of both of which they obtained possession without any opposition on the part of the guards placed over them. They then entered the gaol and set all the prisoners at liberty, setting fire to the rec )rds of the collector's and judge's offing, and to the buildings that contained them. Before the breaking out of the mutiny Nene Dhoondhoo punt, one of the adopted sons of Bajee Rao, ex-Peishwa, who resided at Bithoor (10 miles on the west side of the city of Cawnpors) from the year 1818 until he died in Dec., 1852, receiving the princely allowance or pension of eight lace of rupees per annum from the British Go• vernment, had promised Mr, Hillersdon, the collector, to protect the Treasury in case of an outbreak among the troops ; and to satisfy that gentleman of the sin cerity of his professions he took up his lodgings in * bungalow situate at a distance of about 100 yards from the Treasury, with 200 or 300 of his armed men, and 3 guns. This treacherous person then received the rebels with open arms, and joined them as their chief. Thein eurgents then encamped at Kulleanpoie, the first , halting the eon th a e n westei they weredeofCawn joinedp Cawnpore, being before beingn noondinemes by the fr o city ; d there 53d and 56th Regiments of Native Infantry. E v id ent ly their intention was to proceed to Delhi the next morning, but by the persuasion of the Nana it was agreed that they should return to cantonments, destroy all the houses situated therein, and kill the British officers and soldiers, as well as all other European or Christian resi dents, and then go either to Delhi or Lucknow, leaving a portion of the mutineers .at this place, and making every necessary arrangement for retaining possession of the city and district of Cawnpore. A few of the troops of the 2,1 Cavalry returned to cantonments by 10 o' c lock ~f the same day (June 5), and commenced burning the houses in the cantonments, looting or destroying pro' perty contained in them ; and by noon of the 6th of June the numerous bungalows and other houses in the canton• ments, with vd!y few exceptions, were tarried into masses of ruins.

Reports of guns where heard day and night from the 6th to the 26th June, and during this time the rebels lost several hundred men in killed and wounded, while the loss in the entrenchment ens comparatively s mall, the British troops having fought mi.!) unparalleled bra very, which astonished the people of Cawnpore ; but the number of rebels da,ly increased Ly the arrival of fresh mutineers' from other stations, while the lumber vu the o:her side diminished from death, occasioned by the extreme heat of the weather, exposure to the sun, and privations of all kinds, to which the soldiers as well xs officers were su!jected, beside., the loss in killed and woundel.
