The Billowing is a copy of a despatch from Major Vincent Eyre, Artillery, commanding a detachment, to Col. Napier, military secretary to Major General Outrarn, K. C. 8..-- " Camp Koondhun Puttee, Sept. 11, 1857. " Sir,—l am happy to have it in my power to report for the information of Major-General Sir James Outram, K. C. B, that the expedition he did me the honour of entrusting to my command has been attended with entire success, and the daring invasion of this territory from Oude has been sig nally punished. "I arrived at Hutgoanlast evening atduek, where I was joined by Capt. Jonson's troop of the 12th Irregular Horse (40 in number). As they had marched 24 miles, and were in need of rest, I halted at half-past one a.m., when we had the ad vantage of moonlight to pursue our march tuKoond hun Puttee, where I arrived at daybreak. " The Oude rebels having been apprised a little previously of our advance, had fled precipitately to their boats, about half a mile off. I ordered the cavalry, under Captain Johnson and Lieutenant Havelock, to pursue them, and followed up myself with all practicable speed with the infantry and guns. We found the cavalry had driven the enemy into their boats, which were fastened to the shore, and were maintaining a brisk firs oa them from the bank above. On the arrival of the detachments of her Majesty's sth Fusiliers and 64th Foot, under Captains Johnson and Turner, the fire of our musketry into the densely crowded boats was most telling, but the enemy still defended to the utmost, until the guns under Lieutenant Gordon opened fire, when the rebels instantly threw themselves, panic-stricken, into the river. Grape was now showered upon them, and a terrific fusilade from the infantry and cavalry maintained, until only a few scattered survivors escaped. Their number appeared to be about 300. Previously to their plunging into the river, they threw their guns overboard and blew up one of their boats, which had been boarded by a party of infantry, whereby, I regret to say one man of her Majesty's sth was killed and ten more or less injured, of whom five were Europeans and five natives. All the officers mentioned above d,s tinguished themselves highly, and the conduct of the men was all that could be desired. " Lieutenant Impey, of the Engineers, and Mr. Volunteer Tarby, have likewise, by their zeal and Usefulness, merited my thanks and commendation. (Signed) " VINCENT EYRE, Major, " Commanding Field Force. P.S.—Having heard of another party of rebels at a ghaut higher up the river, I have despatched the cavalry to reconnoitre." SUMMARY OF CALCUTTA NEWS. (From the Bengal Hurkaru) SA.TURAY, SEPTEMBER 12.

Fort William, Home Department, Sept. 19. Notification. It is the melancholy duty of the Right Hon. the G overnor-General in Council to announce the death of the Hon. John Russell Colvin, the Lieutenant- Governor of the North-Western Provinces. Worn by the unceasing anxieties and labours of his charge, which placed him in the very front of the dangers by which, of late, India has been threatened, health and strength gave way ; and the Governor-General in Council has to deplore with sincere grief the loss of one of the most distinguished amongst the servants of the East India Company. The death of Mr. Colvin has occurred at a time wheu his ripe experience, his high ability, and his untiring energy, would have been more than usually valuable to the state. But his career did not close until he had wou for himself a high reputation in each of the various branches of administration to which he was at dif ferent times attached, nor until he had been worthily selected to fill the highest position in northern I n di a ; and he leaves a name which not with alon e , b ut all who have been associated vitu hire in the duties of government, and all who Lo nour. 3311 Y' follow i n hi s path will delight to The Ri g h t u cil directs that the fla mast high, and uns shall be g shall bo lowered, half fired at the a that 17 mieute-g India u on the reo _. p. f eat of oi t o the government By order present notification. in p of the in Council, Governor-General of India C.

Gordon, deputy-commissioner of Sulatpore ; Captain Sale, 6th Regiment Gwalior Contingent ; Captain Irvine, wife and two chil dren ; Dr. O'Brien ; Mr. Verries, patrol ; Quar termaster-Sergeant Carroll and his wife. All the party are reported to be pretty well." The Hurkara of the 16th Sept. understands that " Ali Nuccki Khan, the ex-Minister of Oude, now a State prisoner in the fort, is now allowed to in hale the fresh air of the Strand, but the King is still in close confinement." Lord Canning has, it is said, forwarded a kharita to the Rajah of Rewah, acknowledging his valuable co-operation, and accredited the Political Agent to the Court of the Rajah of Rewah temporarily on a salary of Rs. 800 per month. The following is a Government despatch : " Agra. —The latest authentic newsfrons the Chum bul up to the Bth of September is that the river has risen, and that the main body of the mutinous infantry, cavalry, and guns had not yet crossed ; that their advanced guard continues at Dliolpore with two guns ; that at present, of the two streams between Agra and Chumbul one is certainly un favourable, and that the boats have been de stroyed." A letter from the Fort, Agra, refers to the ap proach of 890 of the Gwalior rebels, and expresses the belief that the latter will garrison themselves at Bhurtpore. The writer adds :—" If the enemy bombards Avra Fort we shall certainly be dread fully cut up, but there is no fear of their taking the place. Unfortunately, there is hardly a bomb proof building in the Fort, in which to shelter the poor women and children from the effects of the shells. Our detachment from Allyghur has got back to Hattrass, and is expected to return here this night or to-morrow. All the militia outside the fort have been brought in, and the respectable natives are now flying from the city in great nnm bers, believing the mutineers are coming. No ap prehension, however, need be entertained by our friends at a distance regarding our ultimate safety, for we are in good heart, and the fort is reasonably strong, and no Hindostanes that was ever created will attempt to take it by storm. As for provisions and military stores, we have an abuu4.la,nt supply." THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1857 CALCUTTA MARKET. CALCUTTA, Sept. 24.—Since our last issue under date the 9th instant. we have been in receipt of London ad vices to the 10th ult.. by the P. and 0. Company's steam ship Nubia. The commercial intelligence can hardly be said to have produced any effect on our trade, which cannot be expected to experience any marked improvement so long as affairs in up-country in general remain in that deplorable and disorderly state as for some time past. The operations, therefore, during the past fortnight have again been on a very limited scale. Our produce market has continued without any alte ration, irregular supplies, high prices of many staple ar ticles a tight money market, and a gradually advancing exchange, all having combined to curtail operations for the British markets. Very little has been•doing in sugar. Saltpetre lower in value, though stocks very small. No change in rice. Raw silk has declined considerably. A. small business has been done in Corahe, at reduced rates. Linseed in better demand, and prices higher. Jute lower. Lac dye unaltered. Shell lac continues in good demand. Castor oil higher in value. Nothing done in cutch. The improvement in our Import Market, which we reported in our last, though partial and caused by in creased local demand, has continued, and holders have been enabled to effect sales in some instances at en hanced prices. But in the absence yet of an inquiry for the Upper Provinces, the transactions must be con sidered limited, and the improvement temporary. Native dealers have been more eager purchasers of grey shirtings, jaconets, and madapollams, but as the annual Doorgah Poojah holidays commenced yesterday and will continue for nearly a fortnight, the interval till the departure of the next mail will be marked by a total cessation of business. Figured shirting,' and brocades have likewise been in better request, at improved figures. The favour able position of the twist market has been maintained. In metals the transactions are still confined to small pur chases for local requirements. Little doing in salt. MONEY M&aLET._Although there has been no altera tion in the rates charged by the Bank of Bengal, the position of this market at the present moment must be considered more unfavourable than at the date of our last. The difficulty experienced in obtaining accommodation on deposit of undoubted securities, even at a very high rate of interest, has caused much embarrassment among commercial authorities. The Bank of Bengal authorities continue to decline granting loans on deposit of Govern ment securities, except to parties of undoubted credit, and then even in moderate sums and at much higher margin than what has been fixed by themselves. We understand in the Bazar Native capitalists have obtained as high as 2 or 3 per cent. per month by advances in opium ; but these rates, of course, must be considered as the exceptions, and not the rule. By the last statement of liabilities and assets of the Bank of Bengal for the week ending on the 16th inst., we observe that the amount of cash in the Bank has further deolined from Rs. 77,12,305-4-2 on the 2d instant to Co.'s Ra. 58.53,409-6-6 which is about a third of the amount in the Bank this time last year. The decrease has been gradual for some time past, and might prove a source of embarrassment to the Bank if not checked by timely relief. We hear the Bank authorities have laterly de clined to discount even Mint Certificates and likewise Government acceptantances having 15 days to run. JOINT STOOL SHARES.—The position of the money market, and the inability of the Bengal Bank to advance further on government securities, has naturally tended to depress the market for joint-stock shares generally. Holders, however, are Rot inclined to make sacrifices, and the majority of our companies are in a sound and satisfactory position. Bengal Bankshares can scarcely be sold at our quotations. Agra Bank scrip is in favour. Some North Western Bank shares have been sold at a lower rate, the assets of this bank having been over valued in the last half-yearly retuene. In Bengal Coal shares or East Indian Coal shares we have heard of no transactions. The deman for coal continues extensive, the requirements of the Government and the railway company being large. The India General has declared a dividend of 80 rupees per share for the past half year, and our quotations are ex dividend. The Steam Tug Company has likewise a dividend of 60 rupees a share for the past half year, or equal to 12 per cent. per annum. In Ganges shares nothing is doing, and they are in less favour. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.—The difficulty and in some instances the impossibility of raising money for immediate purposes on deposit of these papers, by which holders have been placed under the necessity of making beavp sacrifices to supply their wants, has had the effect of causing a further depreciation in the value of all de scriptions of Government securities since our last. We understand Co.'s Four per Cents. were placed as low as rs. 34 per cent. discount ; but we are happy to observe that a better feeling has prevailed during the last few days, and capitalists having come forward and made purchases, rates have improved partially. We quote to day Company's Fours at re. 28.80 to 29, and Fives at re. 13.8 to 14 per cent. In Three-and-a-half and Four-and-Half per Cents. scarcely anything doing and value nominal. Theßank of Bengal is at present hold ing a lzirge amount of securities, in which loans had been advanced to different parties who have been unable in cmsequence of the gr ea t f a ll in the value to clear the securi- Titles. The determination of the bank's authorities in not throwing the papers on the market we consider a very wise ono, as the opposite course would no doubt have led to serious loss both to the parties and the bank, but would have likewise caused a fearful depreciation of the securities. EXCHANGE: on Landon. —The market forlhe present mail opened at 2-3 i to 2-34 for first-class credits, but latterly the rates declined a little, and the same papers were placed at 2-31. Some local bank bills were also sold at first at 2-31, and subsequently at 2 3 per rupee. At closing, the market had an up ward tendency. Docu ment bills have ruled at 2-31 d to 2 sad. On China : A moderate amount of business has been done at Re. 210 per 100 dole., there being few buyers. Fnucsers.—The requirements of tonnage for all parts proving moderato, in consequence of the shortness of se ee n ee of ppnanew, combine.' — 2, - , < - high prices and the rise in the exchange, which have checked shipments, our rates mince our last have assumed a downward tendency. The available tonnage in the harbour is still sufficiently large, and as a large addition is expected before the end of the year, there is little dis position on the part of the shippers to enter into en gagements until after the holidays, which commenced from yesterday, and will terminate about the 4th proximo. For Lond on we quo t e to -d ay 31., and for Liverpool 21. 12s. Gd t o 21. 15 s. f ur a fair de scription of cargo.

Since the date of my letter we have very little of excitement or incident, and wait anxiously for the end of the month, when we may reasonably ex pect to see Lord Elgin back from India. About till same time we look for the advent of the Hon. Mr. Reed from the United States and Baron Gros from Franc, when the three diplomatists will probably make a " fair start' for Pekin. It is said that the Emperor has intimated by the vermillion pencil that he knows what is going on, that be will not receive any embassy, and will leave the barbarians to do their best or worst—he, deluded creature, is pre pared to resist force by force. It is to be hoped that no warlike measures will De attempted until ! we have an overpowering force. To take Canton will be no difficult matter ; b u t th e a tt e mpt to N.? 1,4 without a sufficient military force will end in dis grace—we m us t no t d esp i se t h e i mmense disparity of numbers. If Lord Elgin's mission of peace and diplomacy to Pekin fails—a result which everyone here anticipates, war on a large scale will and must be looked for, and it is notorious that several Rus sian officers have recently reached Pekin, under pretext of being en route to the Russian settlement at the mouth of the Amoor river. The blockade of the Canton river is strictly ob served. Some prize junks have been taken while attempting to break the blockade and brought here, where the cargoes have been sold. A French steamer and a gunboat have proceeded to the Gulf of Tonquin, in consequence of ill-treat ment that some of the missionaries have met with in Cochin China. The America, a Russian man-of-war steamer, arrived at Shanhai from the Amoor with a Russian Admiral on board, who, it is said, is ona diplomatic mission. The United States' ship Portsmouth left Shang hai for Japan on the 26th of August. The court-martial of the officers of the Transit for the loss of the vessel resulted in the captain and master being severely reprimanded. Her Majesty's steamer Sampson returned on the Ist inst., having towed her Majesty's steamer Sans pareil down the China Seas on her way to Calcutta. Her Majesty's steamer Tribune returned from Manilla on the Ist inst. On her way there she went round the Pratus shoal, but no new wreck was secn. there. We understand the commissariat officer who went over to Manilla in the Tribune found that arrangements to get fresh provisions thence for the troops could be made should it be necessary. The American ship North Wind, bound from Foochow to Loudon, tea laden, has put in here dismasted. His Imperial Majesty's ship Capricieuse arrived from Ningpo on the 25th ult. She brought several prisoners who were engaged in the late disturb ances at that place. The Portuguese Consul was a passenger. Amoy dates are to the sth of September. Very little had been done iu imports. In tea the transactions amounted to about 30,000 packages. Prices were higher. Foochow advices are to the Ist of September. I The settlements of tea comprised 54,000 packages. Great eagerness was shown by buyers to obtain teas, an f prices gradually advanced, and were quoted 4 to 6 feels higher forcongous and souchongs, and 2to 4 taels for oolongs. Four vessels were on the berth for London. A short time since the Foochow authorities agreed to tade Mexican dollars at 2 per cent. dis count in payment for duties. They now object to receive them except at market value. The papers of American vessels are given up on proof that Mexican dollars have been tendered in payment of the duties. The British Consul requires that the authorities be satisfied. This difference gives a pre ference to American vessels. Mr. Tarrant, the editor and proprietor of the Friend of China, was convicted at the criminal session of a libel on Dr. Bridges, acting colonial secretary, and sentenced to pay a fine of 1001. to the Queen. The amount was at ones paid. CHINA MARKETS.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and all descriptions tended downwards. The sales wera estimated at 1,500 bales. The Railway Share Market closed with a more ani mated appearance, and values of all the fading stocks were steady. The report of the directors of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company has just been issued. The result of working the 88 miles for the half year was as follows :—total receipts, 33,6101., being an increase on the previous halt year of 9,055/. ; the expenditure was 14,6951. of the receipts, leaving a profit o f 18 , 95 5/, to the credit of reverue ac counts. Th e li ne from Bombay to Coropoolee and Was s i n d was in good working order, and the se con d li ne from Bomb ay to Callian (Tarmah to Carnal)) was op ene d f or traff i c i n F e b . l as t. The capital acco un t s h ows the total receipts to h ave been 3,348,995 1., a balance with th e E ast India Company and bankers of 1,604,513/. which, aft er th e ex penditure, left The advices from New York, although only one day later show the effect of the suspension of specie payments by the 'banks of that city and Boston. As was confidently predicted a considerable advance in the exc h ange had taken place, and the quotation at th e l a t est moment was at a point that will check the efflux of gold from this side. Much s t ress h as b een laid upon the proba bility of ord ers b e i ng sent out for purchases o f goods and securities at their late depreciated values; but the next accounts will probably state that a recovery in prices has ensued, and the remittances in this respect may also be di minished. There can be no doubt that the cessation of payments in cash, although an extreme measure was the best course that could have been pursued under the circumstances, and if it had been determined upon earlier, much mischief might have been prevented. The advices, on the whole, are viewed with increased satisfaction, for although many additional failures had occurred, evi dence is afforded, that the crisis has been to a great extent surmounted. Measures will now be taken to repair the injury, so far as ra practicable, but some time must necessarily elapse 21 before business recovers from the violent commo- 10( tion lately experi ence d. 2.! At Hamburg the rate of discount has again ad- 2c vanced to 8i per cent., but the fluctuations in this St market are so frequent and unimportant, that they 50 attract comparatively little notice. St The half-yearly meeting of the Royal Mail Steam St Packet Company has just been held—Capt. C. G. St Mangles, M.P., in the chair. A dividend of 21. S s t t per share was d ec l are d f or the cu rren t half-year, 25 and the report was adopted unanimously. 25 In Lombard -street and at the Bank of England St the applications for discount are represented to have St, been rather extensive; but owing to the extensive 10 .supply commercial firms are enabled to obtain 20 the assistance they require in the current terms. 20 A slight concession is granted to first-rate houses, 10 but the failures in the American trade have induced bill-brokers to look with some caution upon the lg paper of any house connected with that country. St. The rate of interest offered by the joint-stock banks st : for deposits on call and short notice, insures them 10 a considerable supply, and there has consequently 50 been less inconveni e n ce than was experi e nced when St.lo the Bank first commenced its late restrictive policy. st. The Silver Market remains firm, and it is expected E that the remittances on the 4th proximo will be 20 rather heavy, as the East India Company intend to g, send out a large quantity of specie. The slippers 2 5 have been awaiting the receipt of instructiors from their correspondent s b e f ore ma ki ng ac ti ve prepara- St st. tions, but as soon as the l e tt ers can b e peruse d ar - 25 rangements will be made f or th w ith. B ar s il ver is 2020 quiet at ss. lid. per o z . st an d ar d. 50 The Funds have been very buoyant, and the greater part of the decline experienced yesterday has been recovered. This action is attributable to the news from America, which has led to the im pression that gold will not be forwarded to New York in such quantities as was anticipated. Several of the bears have bought back, and this, as usual, has produced an improved tone. The Indian intelligence may also have assisted to oc casion this favourable change, but the acivicesby the City of Washington have been the principal cause. Consols have been dealt in as follows ;—For money, 88i 881 j, 88k 89 ; while for the account they are marked 881 4 ,88 i and 89k. The present quotations aro 88i 89 and 89 to 89! respectively.

This portrait forms a peculiarly attractive and interesting subject at the present period, when the gallant soldier it represents is exhibiting his courage and wisdom on one of the most frightful and re volting battle-fields ever mapped out in the blood stained pages of civilised history. The countenance of General Havelock combines in its intelligent ex pression strength of physical energy, acuteness of perception, validity of decision, and vigorous intellect —qualifications thoroughly calculated to render him the fitting man to retrieve the discredit of our national war policy, - re-establish our com mercial security, and restore the blessing of peace to the innocent and helpless. The likeness is executed with masterly delineation of character and delicate artistic finish, and con stitutes a valuable addition to our list of real British Heroes. QUICK PASSAGE TO INDIA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIB, --The telegram front ludia in The Sun of this day announces the arrival of the Thebes screw steamer at Gail() on the 3d October, but does net notice that vessel's very rapid passage, which, including stoppages at St. Vincent's and the Cape of Good Hope, only oc• cupied 64 days, the vessel having sailed front Kingstown on the 31st of July. We think it but an act of justice to the builders of the Thebes (Messrs. W. Denny and Brothers, of Du m - bar ton) that this fact should be made known at a time when the public are so anxiously watching the relative performances of the screw steamers and sailing vessels in the Indian transport service.—We are, Sir, your obe diesit servants, 12, Old B roa d•streG. AND A.et,Oet.7. H ERRING AND CO. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Frascati (Saville House), Oct. 27, 1857. SIR, —ln your report of the disturbance caused here last night by Mr. Charles Preston, Mr. Charles Lang ban; and a female, there is an inaccuracy, which I trust to your s ense of j ustice to rectify. Your rep or t er states (speaking of me), that `P he went to the spot an d was told by one of the waiters that they had been tr ea ti ng the female artistes with champagne, which was contrary to the rules of the place. " The fact is, the offer was m a d e, and declined ; for it is the ru l e i n my establi.h ment to keep the artistes as distinct from the audience as in a tbeatre my object being to provide AI '"jeyrnent, and no t t o pan d er to sensua l de sires, and WA i c s —as f ar as i t i s prActicables--to exclude iminte)rllo.p tli er a:it sir Acters. —I h ave the honour to be, sir, your very obedient servant, TllO3. WM. O'KEEFE. IYIAaKET NEWS. —(This Day,) CORN EXCHANGE. Although the supply of English wheat in to-day's mar ket was but moderate, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy. In prices, however, compared with Monday, no change took place. An increased supply of foreign wheat was on offer in fair condition. Great heaviness prevailed in the inquiry, and to have forced sales further depressed rates must have been submitted. We had a heavy inquiry for barley, at Monday's de cline. The malt trade was dull, and prices had a down ward tendency. The show of oats was very large, and the oat trade ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. Beans, peas, and flour changed hands slowly, at barely late rates. Flour. 1,320 11,110 SHARE MARKETS—;This Day.) RAILWAYS. Closing Price , yesterday Rasiness done - this day.

ILLNESS OF THE EARL OF ABERDEEN.—The state of Lord Aberdeen's health is causing much anxiety to his friends. On Saturday afternoon he became so suddenly and seriously ill with obstruction of the bowels (an old complaint), that two of the leading Aberdeen physicians were sent for from Haddo House ; and on Sunday the relatives of the noble lord were summoned by telegraph. On Monday forenoon his lordship was reported to be somewhat better.

(Before Lord Chief Baron Poll oc k, an d M r. Justice Erle.) THE QUEEN'S BENCH MUR DER. Antonio di Salvi was placed at the bar remanded from last session, indicted for the wilful murder of Robert Henderson Robertson in the Queen's B.snoh prison, on the Bth of July last. The prisoner was tried at the August session, and convicted of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, Robertson being then alive, when he was sentenced to 15 years' penal servitude. Since then Robertson has died, and the prisoner now stands charged with the capital offence. At the September session the prisoner pleaded a plea of antrefoi aquit, that he had been tried and clnvieted for the offence with intent to murder, and that consequently he had been put in jeopardy for the offence with which he now stood charged. It was then arranged that the plea should be argued at this session. On the learned Judges taking their seats this morning, the prisoner was placed at the bar when The Lord Chief Baron said that as the Judges had not been furnished with a copy of the plea, &c., and their attention had not been drawn to it so as to enable therm to look into the authority on the point ; be thought it would be better to postpone the hearing of the case for a day or two ; in the meantime they could be furnished with the necessary documents, and the point arguel as it ought to be before a full bench. It was then arranged URA his lordship's suggestion should be adopted, and the hearing of the case was post. poned till Friday. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) The charge of libel against Evans and Thorne was resumed this morning. It is expected to occupy the Court till a late hour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.) MARLBOROUG 11-STREET. THE WATERLOO-BRIDGE TRAGEDY . — Considerable ex. citement was manifested in the neighbourhood •f this court, the avenues to which were thronged with crowds of people, in consequence of its having been reported that a woman was in custody who had confessed herself to be the murderess of the victim of the above myste. rions tragedy. The public were, however, doomed to disappointment, for on the case being called of, it turned out to be a mere drunken freak of an old woman, who, on being placed at the bar, said her name wan Elizabeth Vaughan, and that she was a poor "hinnocant' charwoman. Zipporah Heath, of No. 3, Windsor-place, Westmin• star, said she saw the prisoner in a public-house in Pau. ton street, last night, when her attention was attracted to her by her queer and mysterious manner, on going close to her she heard her say " I did it, I murdered him an:: then cut him up and dropped him over the bridge." Witness on hearing this was so horrified, and really be. lieving that defendant was the muiderer went out and told a poestable who took her into custody. The constable said the prisoner was very drunk at the time, and when she became sober she denied all knos . v• ledge of what Lad been stated. Mr. Bingham asked her if she was the long-looked-for murderer Defendant—Lor bless you, sir, not I, I am only a poor washerwoman, who had taken an extra drop and did not know what I was saying. Mr. Bingham—For that extra drop you are fitted 55., and do not attempt such a freak again. PASSENGERS FROM INDIA. MARSEILLES, TUESDAY.
