The sales were estimated at 5,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed with a rather more active appear aece, and there was a slight improvement in prices. Another small mereandle faiure was announced oniChange yesterday afternoon. It was that of Messrs. Ashmore and Sons, engaged in the drug and oil trade, and although their transactions were not very large, the liabilities are estimated at from 30 ,000/. to 50,0001. The Bank of England return completed for the Week ending the Ist inst., is quite as unfavourable ! s was anticipated. The decline in the I ullion is nnportant-, but this movement w.ts expected in consequence of the rapid influx of gold which lately took place to the Continent. Th's movement, how ever, has now been arrested, and it is thought that a portion of the anticipated supplies from Anzitralia will soon replace some of the deficiency. The reserve of notes has been trenched upon and there is au increase in the other securities of up- W 4 rie of two millious owing to the preparations Which were making at the date of the retain fer the payments on the 4th of the month. The state ment is cmisequently unsatisfactory, but there is reason -he believe that a bete er one will be published next week.

Ye.terday the bars received by the last Nest India packet were sAci at 53. 2d. per ounce standard. A great deal of conversation has taken place on the Stock Exchange in consequence of an endeavour that has been Made by e, Joint Stock Bank to get back some money they have pa'd away on ch( ques at the t bearing House by rid-take, the party dra g ing upon them having no wise's. The directors of the Great Western Railway Company have announced a dividend at the rate of 1 per cent. per annum, and this has materially Produced consideralde dmession in the value of the :hires. For some days past a strong tendency t ° a decline has been notice tble, but tO-day a further fall of from 4 to 5 per cent. has occurred'. The *Market for E iglish &Clarifies has been very quiet to-day, and rather less firm in c ; msequence cf the unfavourable Bank return. This has led to a few F.-ales, but, generally speaking, the transactions have been unimportant. - The mai ket will remain in au uncertain sta.te until the further intelligence 13 ° anxiously awaited from India shall arrive.

Mows.—There was a good rise in the standard for copper ores last week and another expected this week, in consequence of which we have had more doing in copper mines than for come time past, and several shares which have been greatly depressed show symptoms of rallying. Tin mines are still in the ascendant as regards price, and there is a good demand for Owes. Lead mines are &so looking up, and shares in to those paying dividends diffienit to get. There is an sy feeling a' road in regard to the money m arket, but we d o net appr• bend that the mining market will be mirch'afftcted, so long as metals continue to ri.e, or even keep at the present standard. TWO or th eel speculative mines, in which a large bu , inese hal previously been doing, have been fLit this week, and shares being more offered, prices have - reed ed.—Mining Journal of this day. Tlis LATE FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION AT THE RHYMNEY IRONWORKS.—We published in the early part of he week, some particulars of a destructive and fatal boiler explosion at the Rhyri3ney Iron-works Glamorgan shire, by which the engine driver, Owen Davies, and two of the workmen engaged in the "bulling" department, were killed, and abcut twelve others moreor less severely injured. The inquest, commenced by Mr. G. Overton, the coroner for the district, on the body of one of the men, Robert Hobbs, and which wasadjonreed for the purpose of enabling some experienced engineer to examine the frag ments of the iron wasresumed the day beforeyesterday, at the G ere ral Picton Inn, and e xcited a good deal of iote rest. Mr. Harbert Mack worth, one of her Majesty's Inspectors of Collieries, attended, by direction of the Secretary of State, to watch the proceedings, and assist in the inquiry.—Mr. Rich. Phillips, boiler maker, who was well acquainted with the boiler of the Rbymney Iron Works, deposed that he saw the boiler very shortly before the explo-ion took place, and it was then in very goo repair. The witness was questioned a good .1 desl by the coroner and jury, with a view to elicit from hies the probable cause of the accident, but he was un ak.,le to give any satisfactory Explanation of the acci dent.—John Jones deposes; that ho was a stoker in the employ of the Bbymney Company, and at the time the explesion took place he was assisting in working the engine. Almost unmediately before the explosion took place, witness tried the gauge cocks ; there was a suffi ciency of water in the boiler. Mr, Furman, the chief engineer of the iron-works at Dowlies, was also exa• mind at considerable length, but confessed himsell unable, although he had Examined the remains of the boiler, to say froin what cause the accident had arisen. The inquiry having occupied nearly nine hours, the jury, after a short coneult..tion, returned a verdict that the deceased was killed by the accidental explosion of a boiler, the cause of which explosion is at present un known, The coroper for Monmouilshire, held an in quest on the body of 0 wen Davies, the engineer, whose body hod been removed into his district, and the jury in that case returned a verdict of accidental death. The body of the third man having been erroneously buried without an invest, an order for its exhumation has been is- ued, and an inquiry will yet take Cheri.

Jackson, M.P., in the chair. The repot stated, with respect to the works, considerable progress had been made duringthe last half-year with the excavations at all the important point-, and in ballasting and laying the permanent way, while the masonry of the bridges and culverts was well forward. The directorS were confident that the line would be completed and ready for opening tl the public in the spring of next year, provided the cintractor was placed in posses sion of the land throughout its entire length, the lighter Works requiring close attention. More than 1,000 men and 160 horses were employed; and in the excavations 1,090,000 cubic yards hadbeen removed in the last six months, making about two-thirds of the total quantity now completed. To secure the opening of the line by the period above-mentioned, and also to provide, in case of need, sufficient plant to work the traffic, the directors had made arrangements for the .issue of so much of the 133,0001. rlebenture capital of the company as would be necessary. In addition to the above, as the company had power under its act of this year to rai.e 50,0001. upon 5 per cent. preference shares the directors had made arrangements fur the imme diate issue of these shares, with the condition an nexed, that the company shall have the option of redeeming them at par at any time within two years from the 3d day of July, 1857. A further source of supply of capital at the command of the company was the issue of the shares the forfeiture of which was confirmed at the last half-yearly meeting. The directors and their friends were prepared to take up the remainder of those shares as ordinary shares, without loss to the company, but had deemed it right, before doing s:), to offer the shares pro rata to the proprietors. The result of the a bove-mentioned arrangements would be that the directors would be able to postpone calling up the 21. per share remaining unpaid upon the company's shares. The following were the main features of the agreem-nt between the company and the London and South-Western Company with reference to the Godalming and Shal ford line-Ist. The company is to abandon its Shalford line, excepting the half-mile curve neces sary to connect the South-Western Godahning branch with the South-Eastern line at Shalford. 2d. The South-Western Company is to allow the company's traffic to be worked over their God timing branch to and from the South-Eastern line at Shal ford, as well as to and from the Guildford. station. 3. The company is to pay the South- Western Company 50 per cent. of its mileage rates for the above us-, and may commute at 1,0001. a year the rate. payable in • respect of its traffic to and from Shalford. 4'h. The company and the South-Western Company are to have the right, of ming each other's G-odalming stations, and the in tervening portions of each other's lines, free of charge, except the pr ,portion of the station ex penses due to the traffic of each. By the above arrangements the South-Western Company will he relieved from having a line made side to side with their Goddming branch, while the company will be saved from raising the considerable amount of capi tal which it Shalford line would have cost, and secured its independent connection wi h the South- Esstern line, which has always been an object of essential importance. The statement of receipts and expenditure, made up to the 30th of June last, since the formation of tho company, sh )wed total receipts to the amount of 269,978 1 . 9s. 7d., and total expenditure 262,3411. 6.?. 10d., leaving the balance of 7,6371. 2s. 9cl. in favour of the company. The report was adopted, and the meeting having been made special, resolutions were passed for carrying out the financial arrangements, and re electing the re' irng ,directors. CROMFORD AND HIGH PEAK. • The half-yearly meeting of this company was hell on Thursday, at Derby—Mr. F. Wright in th 3 chair. The report stated that the increase in the revenue during the last half-year amoun!ed to 1401., arising pr'ncipally from minerals. The interest on the debenture stock, class A, and nn the 6 per cent. preference shir's will be payable on the let Sep tember next. The works between Buxtoa and ,Whaley have made steady progress, ,and will be completed• by the time the junction with the St ,, ckpore and Whaley-bridge line is reedy for traffic. By the construction of this junction a direct thromzh communication will be obtained between the Midland Railway and the Londo❑ and North- Western Railway, near Stockport, and a consider able increase in the traffic is expected. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, and approving the accounts. CORK AND BANDON. The direciors of this company, in their report, slate that the receipts of the last six tnonths show an increase of 5831. as compared with the corresponding period of the previous year.

'TINY. The following letter wal addressed to a near relatiVe in England by an officer of the 9th Light Cavalry. The date is not very recent, and several of the details containe . d in it have been already men tioned : "My dear —, I sent you a letter by the last mail, but from the unsettled state that the country is in I cannot think there is the least probability of its ever having reached you. I will therefore re peat a groat deal of what I then told you. We have, indeed, had a very anxious time of it here lately in consequence of a great portion of the native army having mutinied. The disaffection was first shown in the 19th N. I. at Berampore. The reason they ave for their conduct was, that they objected to the new cartridges that were served out to them, which they had been told were greased with pier's fat, which they said was prejudicial to their caste and also against their reli g ion ; but this reason for their mutiny is of course absurd, for they were assured by Government that they were not made up of any thing they could object to. Ilowevei, this mutinous spirit continued to spread, and next appeared in the 34th Native Infantry at Barackpore. On parade one of the men attempted to cut down the adjutant and the sergeant-major (who is European). Tney were both wounded, and were carried off the parade ground. The man has since been hung, alto one of the men who was ordered to arrest him, and who disobeyed. That part of the regiment that was present at this parade, consisting of seven com panie:, has been disbanded. I should have told you that the whole of the 19th Regiment has been punished in the same manner. This occurred two or three months since, but about three weeks ago three native regiments at Meerut have mutinied ; .also two at Umballah, one at Allghur, two at Fero zepore ; also the native regiments at Lahore, Pesha wur, Nowshera, Delhi, and two regiments in Oude. If the brutes had been more successful at the plac - s I have mentioned I believe the whole Indian army p a man would have rebelled and murdered all the Europeans in the country, who, I am sorry to say, are but few for this large presidency. We have only about 20 European regiments besides the European artillery, therefore if the niggers had planed their designs better they would not have had much treu'ale in getting rid of us. As it is, they have murdered a great many people. Part of the 3d Light Cavalry rode over from Meerut to Delhi, and on their arrival the regiment there joined them, and murdered every European they could find, ladies and children inclusive. I hear the Missts Fraser, daughters of Mr. Fraser, of the Com pany's Service, fell into the hands of the infuriated savages, and, after having murdered the father, and committed crimes of the most diabolical description upon the girls, they then beheaded them and pa raded their bodies about the city the remainder of the day. I believe the men of one regiment at Delhi (I think the 74th) marched their officers a short distance out of their cantonmeets, and then allowed them to escape. Indeed, several officers esc I ped from the scene of buteherythrough the kind ness, it is said, of their men. There were 15 women and children who took refuge in the Palace of Delhi —all murdered. We hear that it was the inhabitants of the city who were the perpetrators of the horrid deeds I have told you of ; but, sup posing that to be true, they ( he soldiers) are just as culpable as if they committed the deeds themselves. From Meerut also we have some sad accounts. For instance, the wife of the adjutant of the 20th Native Infantry fell into the hands of these inhuman brute, and was afterwards brunt to death. 'Tis dreadful the reports that come to us. I have been told that Mrs. M Donald, after having been treated in the same brutal manner, was besmeared all over with oil and burnt to death, but I cannot believe this is true. We bear so many thing.; that one does not know what to believe. Inu wilt be sorry to hear that among the list of killed 1 see Mr. and Mrs. Dawson ' of the 3d Light Cavalry, Meerut (this is Mr. K. Dawson's son), but I have not heard that eny act cf violence was offered to either of them before they were murdered. Well, now I come to our part of the country. It was discovered by the Commissioner at Lahore that the native regiments (tour) agreed on night of the 15th inst: to rise at a given signal, and murder all the Europea ns in the station; therefore the Brigade was pa raded, and the native portion were then disarmed. The 16th N.I. hesitated a little, but in front of her Majesty's 81st Foot and two troops of horse artil lery they wise!y gave up their arms, or they woul most certainly have been fitel into. The officers in Lahore now live together in three houses, and the ladies are all in two buildings, and are ordered by the brigadier not to come out eitherby night or day. The men for several nights slept at their gun 4, and no one thought of taking off his clothes, and. the 814 Queen's Regiment was under arms for nights. T. heard from a brother otlicec at Lahore the other . - day. Ile says 15 of them sleep in one house. They remain dressed all night—pistols under pillow and sword by bed-side. Horses saddled all night ready to jump on to in a moment. fie says four of them keep watch while the others lie down. The Com m'ssioner ascertained by means of a brib3 that the niggers had endeavoured to get up a conspiracy to murder us at a large dinner party given at our mess. They thought it would be a favourable oppor tunity, as we should then be unarmed and perf ctly helples2, but some of our men would not consent to it, and we therefore providentially escaped. Our Brigadier took every precaution, and had the Eu ropeans ready night and day in case the fellows should break out. The guns, which before were under a native guard, were drawn up in front of the European barracks, horses harnessed all night ; officers and men not on duty lay down with ►heir clothes on. We slept soundly in a house, and adopted the same means as I have told you they did at Lahore. But, much to our regret, an order arrived from the Commander-in-Chief in the Pun jAtib, from her Majesty's 52d Regiment, all the artillery, the 35th Native Infantry, and a wing of my regiment, to march to Ferzt•rabad, and join General Chamberlain's army there, but our Briga dier kept back two guns and 200 cf her Majesty's 52d, but they have since bean ordered to join the others, and will leave the station to-night. Tnis will leave U 3 with no Europeans in the station (except officers), and we shall have the other wing of my regiment here and the 46th Regi ment of Native Infantry, but I see no fear now. The niggers have signally failed at the other station., and are in a precious funk now, and evidently wished they had never mutinied. I hope the General will punish ti:em severely at Lihore. Nothing less thin blowing them away from the guns will be of any use. T'ne Lahore Chronicle yesterday stated that the Commander-in-Chief had hung 170 men at Umballah, I only hope it is true (I doubt if it is). There is an army on its way to Delhi, with a siege train. The niggers hold pos session of the place. I only hope they wilt remain there until our troops come up, and, by Jove, they will catch it. I believe the whole place is to be levelled with the ground. I should have told you that the same paper that brought us the above in telligence also stated that the Commander-in-Chief had been attacked with cholera, and died on his way to Delhi. The editor of a native paper at Peshawur had written a seditious article in it, and was immediately seized, tried, and bung in less than 12 hours after he was taken. This is the way to serve them. The people in the Punjaub take no part in•the rebellion. On the contrary, they do all they can to assist the Government — bring in deserters, bound baud and foot, fur which they get 20r. a head. Well, I must say Good bye,' but will keep this open until the last moment in case any news should arrive. " Since I wrote this I hear it is a false report that the COmmander-in-Chief had hung 170 men at Umballah. 1 have been told by good authority that the China fOrce lately sent out from England has been sent f. r, also a regiment from the Mauri tius, one from Ceylon, and two are coming up the Indus—Europeans I mean ; any other sort are no use. The Brigadier has remonstrated with the people at army head-quarters for taking away the few Europeans, and'asks, in the event of a rebel lion, what is to become of the 100 sick men left behind by the 52d Queen's and the Artillery ? " Sealkote, May 29." The following are extracts from a letter written by the Rev. James Kennedy, of Benares :-- " The morning of the sth was fixed by the mili tary authorities for the disarming. Dur:ng the 4th news arrived that a Naat tive Infantry regiment Azim gliur, some GO miles from this, had mutinied and seized some 170,0001. of treasure. The news somehow reached the Sepoys as soon as it did the authorities, and greatly excited them. The new Brigadier resolved to disarm the 37th at once. A p arade was hastily ordered. The bells of arm s, as the y are called the little houses in which the arms are kept_ were suddenly locked. No sooner did the Sepoys see this, and also that the Euro •eau li soldier S s e w - le under arms, than they rushed to l burst open the doors,the ells of arms, and seized their weapons. Besides this regiment there was here a Sikh me ' ment, which was much trusted, l and like:vise an irregular cavalry regiment, so well thought of that at the beginning of these troubles it was called in from Sultanpore, 12 miles distant, to defend us. Many spoke highly of the loyalty of these regi ments, and among others their own officers, but others doubted them, and the doubters have turned out correct. All the troops were near at the time. No sooner did the 37th seize their arms than the Sikhs fired at their own officers, who had been speaking in such high terms of tI ern.

Immediately one of these troopers fired on him, and the ball grazed his arm. Another trooper—a loyal one—immediately turned on . the rebel and cut him down, thus saving Captain Dodgson'slife, as the rebel was rushing on him wish his sword, and Captain Dolgson was fur the momentdisable I. It was evident that while the 37th was thoroughly mutinous there were loyal men among the Sikhs and the cavalry, but in the strife it was im possible to distinguish them, astbey ws re mingled tc gether The rebel fire was, of course, retwned by the European soldiers, and then the guns opened, moviog down number of the mutineers. The Europeans were a mere handful compared with the native force arrayed against them, but they had the advantage of having three guns, while the others had only muskets. In such cir cumstances, the mutineers could rush at once on the guns and capt ure th em , b u t thi s i s no t the native fashion. On the opening of the guns all the rebels ran for shelte r b e hi n d t rees an d h u t s , f rom which they tried to keep up th e con t es t, b u t soon their only concern was to get entirsly beyond the reach of the feared and hated white soldiers. The heavy firing continued for nearly t wo h ours , t u t skirmishing con; inued for several Lours longer. How many of the mutineers perished it is impossible to say, but it is certain that many have fallen. Oa our side there were four killed and 21 wounded, of whom several are sure to die. There were only 200 Europeans altogether, while the number against them, including the mutinous cavalry, was about 2,000. in My house is out of can tonments, and tberefore the first place we were less exposed than others. We bad just finished dinner, about 5p.m., when our watchman rushed into the house and exclaimed, 'Flee, Sahib, flee, the regimen s have mutinied.' How he knew so so n I do not know, fur by that time a shot had not been fired. I suppose he had heard of the soldiers gathering, thought there was to be mischief, awl ran to tell us. He had just spoken when we heard the sharp ratttle of the musketry, and then the boom of the cannon. We thought it was full time for us to move with our four children. The gari was ordered, and according to a plan formerly , arranged, in the event of a d;sturbence, we bast ' ened as fast as our horse could take us, to the house of a Mr. Gordon, on the banks of the Ganges, close to its principal ferry at Benares. As that is a great th, roughfare, and it was possible enough a party of mutineers might come that way, it was deemed prudent to engage boats and ferry ourselves out into the middle of the river till news should reach us. Consequently the B verses, Bailantynes, ourselves, and some others got out ou the river, and awaited tidings with intense anxiety. By this time the heavy firing had ceased, and the rattle of the musketry was so irregular that it was evident the battle was well-nigh over, but on what side the victory was we did not know. The whole city was covered with smoke, which led us to fear there was an immense conflagration, but it turned out there had been only a part of caetonoaents on fire. At length we heard the authorities were victorious. We returned -to Mr. Gordon's house, intending to remain there for the night, when Capt. Dodgson, notwithstand ing his wound, accompanied by several others, gal loped into the compound, and told us that, althoueh the mutineers were routed, they were about in great numbers, and that it was absolutely necessary for safety to proceed to a large building called the Mint, in the middle of cantonments , which was put into a state of defence. Most providentially, at that very time a party of English soldiers, 70in num ber, were reported as Laving arrived at the ghat' (ferry), and so, escort AI by them and a small per , tion of the Irregular Cavalry who had remained faithful, we proceeded to the Mint, wh , re we ar rived at midnight. What . • a scene of confusion and tumult was there! All in front bands of Engli-h soldiers, ready to act at a moment's notice; wen, women, and children, high and low, huddle d to gether, wondering at meeting together at such a time and such a place, not knowing where they were to throw themselves down for the night, and. altogether looking qui.° bewildered . As to sleep, that was out of the question. I felt drowsy fir a few minutes between 3 and 4, when I heard one say to another, Tne magistrate has been sent for. The city is rising.' In answer to the demand for aid, all the answer given to the head native magis trate in the city was, Do your be,t, we cannot spare a 'man.' Rioting did break out in the ci.y, but it was suppressed, and the city has since re mained astonishingly quiet. " The sth (Friday) was, as you may suppose, a day of intense excitement. No person ventured beyond the compound of the Mint, except he were heavily armed or strongly escorted. The Mint had a most warlike appearance. The place was bristling With arms. All round the rooms there were rifles, sword, and other weapons. At night I ventured to go from the Miet to the barracks, with two friends, one of whom had a revolver and another a rifle. My principal object in going was to see a young man, a son of Dr. Tweedie, of Edinburgh, who had been wounded in the engagement oe the preceding day. I found him in a wretched place, but not so ill as I had been led to expect. I shall never forget the scene at the hospital that night. The men lying on little bedsteads, near enough just to allow a person to pass between them, with the most frightful wounds, some evidently suffer ing excruciating pain, and others nearly in sensible, was a sickening sight. Then, again, all over the plain were bands of soldiers, looking at the bodies of the slain, of which many had till that time remained unremoved. The question now was how we were to manage for the night. Some had sight native bedsteads; and more had only shakedowns. A number slept in the awfully heated room, and others betook themselves to the roof of the building in the open air. The latter was our choice. None, of course, took off their day clothing, for we were to sleep in public, as we had been living in public. Rank was for a t;me obliged to demean itself humbly. Our commissioner slept with his family in a room on shake downs, with other families sleeping all around them, and there from night to night they continue to sleep. We got on tolerably well till the middle of the night, when a dust storm came on. A num ber then went in, but the heat was so suffocating inside that we remained out till the morning, and then with dust we looked like chimney-sweeps. " Thursday, June 11.—We have to-day ven tured to our home, and here we are in peace, and I believe iu safety. Wo are so thankful and happy to be iu our house again ; but we must not remain here. For some time to come we expect to be re quired to sleep wi'hin the line of the English pickets. This day week we were obliged to make our hasty flight. What a memorable week it has been ! A white face was before a positive advan tage ; since this outbreak has commenced it has been a mark for the assassin. TO THE EDITOR OF " THE TIMES." Sir,—ln The Times of this morning is a le'.ter from Mr. Fairbolme, containing an extract from a communication from the Bombay Presidency, dated the 23d of June, intimating that Delhi was known at that date to have fallen. From the tenour of the communication the writer is evidently a resi dent at Sattara, whom I should have little diffi culty in identifying, and communicated the state of matters and rumours as believe 1 in at that di-be. Sattara is 200 miles farther off from Delhi than Bombay, from which I have loiters up to the de spatch of the mail on the I st of J uly. The rumour given by Mr. Fairholme, as fact-, prevailed a week before, had by this time become exploded, and Delhi certainly had not fallen up to the 26th of June. Your own correspondent gives the most full, accurate, and recent information on all these subjects, and his letters, as far as they extend, are infinitely more to be relied upon, both iu point of correctness and recency than those of private parties, not actually at the scene of action. My own letters discountenance the idea of dan g er an d co mmotion around Bombay which are a now b e coming prevalent in this country. pu se curities had become affected from no dist rus t i no ur i cr edit, but from the belief that a 6 per cent. loan So little fear w as enter tained was ab o by i t theto be m opened.oreenl enlightened capitalists that th West of India Canal Irrigation _Company, who had eo the b y completed their surveys, were only waiting for the sanction m e nd of ed authorities hthoemßeomb ay revenue of the offi officers, s arned mconeurredinby'kGovernment, to commence the con struction of a canal 90 miles in length. A body of native merchants were equally eager to commence the construction of a tide basin for cotton boats at Bombay, on which they were ready to expend 50,000!. or 60,0001. The belief seemed to be that private enterprise was at present more avbilab'e for carrying on pubre works than it ever before had I een, without any guarantee or other stimulant, or any interference with the arrangements of the adm;- nistration, if they could only get through with their preliminary correspondence, through that monstrous set of 'Circumlocution offices," which stand in the way of progre,s in the East.
