r the ELECTORS of the COUNTY of MIDDLESEX. . Garrxxxxx —A telegraphic messag e, announcin g the re tirement of Lord ' R. Grosvenor, reached me in Germany, and has caused me to return to England with all possible expedi tion, and at once to declar e myself a candidate for the hi g h honour of representing that great and important constituency with which my name and family have been associated for up wards of a century. Let me, however, rest my individual dia l s for your support open the principles and votes which I have maintained and given daring the five years I have sat in Parliament. During that period I have supported the Re moval of the Jewish Disabilities, the Total Abolition of Church Rates, the adoption of the Vote by Ballot, the Ad mission of my Dissenting fellow-subjects to the advantages of our University Education, and all measures tending to promot • and secure, in its best and highest acceptation, the great principle of Civil and Religious Liberty. The usual limits of an address would be exceeded were I to express at any length my views upon the all-important question of Par liamentary Reform. lam most anxious that the Franchise should be fairly and honestly extended, commensurately with the growing intelligence of the people ; and any well-digested scheme, having for its object the removal of existing anoma lies in our representative system shall have my warmest sup port. Under this head I may class the property qualifica tion now required of Members of Parliament, the repeal of which, as proposed this session by Mr. Locke King, I cor dially supported. The engrossing topic of the day is, however, the unhappy hate of our Indian Empire. All classes of politicians must unite in one common feeling of horror and grief at the recital of atrocities almost unparalleled in the history of mankind ; and I shall, if returned by you to Parliament, most heartily support Lord Palmerston's Government, or any Administra tion, in such prompt and vigorous measures as may be deemed advisable to quell the existing mutinies, to punish the guilty perpetrators of those deeds of blood, and to re-establish our authority and dominion spon a firmer and more durable basis. I shall, however, watch with a jealous eye the public ex penditure, and rigidly scrutinise every proposal which has reference to the burdens of taxation. No one can feel more sensibly than I the weighty responsi bilities which must attach to him who is selected to represent the various and important interests of the Metropolitan County, and if the trust which I seek is committed to my care, I will devote my time and talents to its faithful and conscientious discharge. In your hands I leave the issue of acceptance or rejection. I have the honour to be Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, GEORGE BYNG. Worthant Park, Barnet, August 27, 1857. MIDDLESEX ELECTION.

I, arrived by the Irectis at Marseilles, at 7 p.m., on Thursday. Copious extracts will be found in another part of our impression, giving the melan choly details of the fearful scenes enacted in the disaffected districts. The dates are—Calcutta, July 28th ; Bombay, July 30th ; and Hong Kong, July 10th. The intelligence it contains is of a truly de plorable character. It is not only positively as certained that Cawnpore had fallen into the hands of the miscreant NBNA. SAHIB, but that after the garrison, pressed by famine, had capitulated, un der the most solemn assurances of safety, these pledges were immediately violated. Not only were the fighting men and civilians butchered in cold blood, but helpless women and children were destroyed under circumstances of the most revolt ing cruelty. Two hundred and forty of these innocent victims were first sold by public auction in the town, where, after being treated with the most terrible barbarity and indignity, they were slaughtered by their new masters, whose cruelty exceeded their avarice. There is a faint hope that some may have had a temporary respite, as it was reported that NENA. SAHIB had retaiued about 100 hostages in his hands in order to enable him to make terms with the Government. We fear, however, that if such be the case their fate is even more deplorable than that of their companions in misery, and that they may envy those who had previously perished. The atrocious ruffian who had murdered the fugitives from Futtyghur would not be likely to leave any prospect of escape for those who had the misfortune to fall within his power. He would only retain them as a means of safety for himself, and when that prospect faded, as un doubtedly will be the case, he would before his own downfall satiate his diabolical malevolence to the most fearful extent. The prospee, would be dark, indeed, but for the brilliant conduct of the gallant HATELOCK, and the troops under his command. He had started from Allababad with about 2,000 Europeans, consisting of the 64th, the 78th Highlanders, the Madras Fusiliers, and a com pany of the Royal Artillery. By two haras sing marches he had joined Major RENAUD'S advanced column about three h)urs before day light on the morning of the 17th ult., and ar rived about eight o'clock four miles from Futteh pore, where he encamped. The rebels advanced from the town which they had previously occu pied, assuming the initiative in the contest. The splendid management of the Artillery (eight guns, under Captain MAUDE, R.A.), soon destroyed their confidence. They abandoned gun after gun, and speedily took to flight. They were pursued through garden enclosures and the streets of Futtehpore. It was a complete panic, and the most remarkable circum stance connected with the affair was that there was not a single casualty amongst the Bri tish troops—not one killed or even wounded. Eleven gnus were there taken, in addition to the twenty-six that subsequently were captured on the re-occupation of Cawnpore. Previously to the arrival of the troops at Cawnpore two other bat tles had taken place, and with similar results in each instance. The cowardly murderer who had committed such unparalleled atrocities did not make headlin a single instance against a force of armed men. He had fled up the Bithoor, some eight or ten miles from Cawnpore, and has, pro bably, already received the exemplary punish ment which his crimes so justly merited. It is difficult to understand how any reliance could have been placed in the promises of such a demon. It would appear that Sir HUGH WHELER had previously fallen, and that the garrison, em barrassed by the number of fugitives and women and children, had been reduced ta a state of ab solute starvation. They therefore unfortunately accepted the treacherous overtures, not being' sufficiently strong to have the slightest prospect of extricating themselves from their desperate condition. We know the sad results—and NIM A SAHIB will di scover , t o hi s cos t, th a t th ey will not b e di sregar d e d b y any Englishman. He has destroyed the chance of escape, and will ever more fight with a rope about his neck, as an outlaw, with whom there can be no compromise. It was on the 2d July that Sir H. LAWRENCE received the wounds at Luau:tow which two clays afterwards deprived the nation of one of its most distinguished heroes. The garrison, however, con tinued firm under the command of Major BANKS, and there was every reason to hop e th at they could maintain their position until relieved by General HAVELOCK. At Delhi the rebels had made several softies, but all in vain. Although there were not suffi cient troops to hazard a general assault, there were sufficient to maintain their position, and repel a - - • every attack of the enemy. On the 9th of July the mutineers, left 1,000 of their numbers on the field and must have lost many more in the sub sequent encounters referred to in the despatch. Large detachments had necessarily been left to protect Jullunder, Loodianab, Dugshaie, .Subat tehoo, Kossawlie, Umballa, Meerut, and Phillour. The attack of the Neemuch mutineers, about which so much confusion prevailed in the tele graphic depatches, took place before Agra. Our side consisted chiefly of volunteers. They were, however, overwhelmed by numbers, and being without cavalry, were unable to follow up the temporary advantage. Hence the loss of 49 killed and 92 wounded out of the party of 500. The remainder of the Europeans, however, continued to take refuge in the fort. The cantonments were destroyed. In our impression of yesterday we gave the names of the officers and civilians who had fallen in the unequal contest-500 men against more than 10,000. At Mhow and Indore there seems to have been undue confidence in the fidelity of the troops. The massacre was occasioned thereby. However, many officers and ladies took shelter in a fortified square at Mhow, held by Captain HUNGERFORD'S battery of Europeans. At Indore, Col. DURAND and his surviving officers sucoeded in effecting their escape, protected by some faithful compa nies of the Bheel Corps. However, Brigadier STUARTS'S corps, the Bombay moveable column, was marching on the town, and would speedily effect a prompt settlement of the question. It is satisfactory to know that Holkar has remained firm through every difficulty. There has been a fearful amount of murder, rapine, and spoliation of every description. We trust, however, that with the blessing of Provi dence, we may soon be enabled to suppress the insurrection, and inflict well-merited punishment on the mutineers. Madras and Bombay remain tranquil. From the great pressure on our space we are compelled to refer our readers to the general ac counts respecting other districts. We have, however, already explained the most interesting and important points. England must now look India and its difficul ties in the face. Fearful as the present tempest may be, nothing less, we fear, would have been sufficient to compel the attention of the middle classes of England to the claims of our Empire Colony. We should have suffered our aristocracy and the East India Company again to cheat U 3 with the juggle of a double government, con structed solely to veil mismanagement and keep Indian business an impenetrable mystery. The Premier, Mr. VERNON SMITH, and Mr. MANGLES have now obtained indeed a six months' license ; but if parliamentary questioning and supervision be wanting, the profound personal interest of so many English families, combined with the English press, will, in some measure supply its place. It is almost like the slaying of the first-born, for where is the town, the village almost, or even the family which is not interested, or anxious about, some one in India or going thither. Letters will be arriving in thousands by every mail, and many of these, if of importance, will find their way to the newspapers. We, as journalists, owe it indeed to the public, now, to publish freely all communications that may reach ug, since in India itself Editors write under a Gagging Act. Not only the native edi tors, whose miserable productions had been openly disloyal, are thus placed in fetters, but English gentlemen, who had supported vigorously England and the English—had supported, too, the general policy of the Government, and had only oriticied fairly particular acts, with the measure of freedom necessary to render th(sir criticism of any value to the Government itself, to the Anglo-Indian com munity, and to us here at home—must write under a license which may be withdrawnin an hour; with drawn without even one of Louts NAPOLEON'S warnings. We certainly think a more unwise step could hardly have been taken ; and the first fruits of it are apparent enough. The Friend of India was warned for an article which we have read carefully through, an d we are confident that no ingenuity can honestly extract from it evidence of hostility to the Government, or of injurious tendency on the native mind. It was, in fact, as a whole, a manly assertion that our general course with India and its worthless puppet rulers was just what it ought to be. The Editor is naturally indignant at the timiddty of a Government which shrinks from saying boldly to the natives—Our Acts have been right, we will not reverse them. It is but the self-same timidity and consequent trimming to the Bralsmin Sepoys of the Bengal army which have em boldened them to mutiny, that has pl iced the Anglo-Indian press under censorship, boe3use it 'was necessary to coerce the villainous Native pres=. The Editor, therefore, in scathing article, takes leave of political discussion for the next three months. We cannot wonder at his irritation. How should we ourselves feel, to be interdicted by the popular party--whose measures we criti cise, to be sure, but on the whole vigorously sup port—from political di se ussion. We should be compelled to despise friends who could not endure friendly, even if occasionally sharp criticism, for the sake of our general and hearty support. The truth is we must, as we have already said, look facts in the face. We are conquerors in India, and we cannot gcssfern but as conquerors. We may make our rule sss mild as we please, but firm we must be. We !may render it attractive to the numerous tribes and races who had been maltreated and robbect by unprincipled con querors, but we must make it respected by all. Never did a country offer a finer opportunity than India for obtainin g all the native forces we can need on the best possible terms. Numerous small but warlike trib as are ready from habit, almost from creed, to be loyal mercenaries, sin gular as the expression may seem to an English man. The Swiss, however, understand it oven in Europe, And" throughout the Hindoo popu lation the army present s to the low castes, the despised and contemned of the Brahmins, the means of elevation to equality with his despiser, if not of superiority over ;aim, The conquering race is naturally the fountain of honour ; it is so unquestionably in the, eyes of Orientals. By ac cepting and elevating the oppressed castes, through admission into the army we should at once crush our worst antagonist, the caste system, and attach to us those who had been sufferers by it. In the Madras and Bombay armies where this system has been pretty much carried out we see that tho troops continue faithful, and we only hope that the long impunity of so many of the Bengal Brahmin Sepoys may not at length stir up rebellious thoughts farther south. OF the general principle to be adopted we feel no doubt whatever. We have the Government by conquest. The strong hand got it and the strong hand must keep it. In the Northern Provinces we must rely only upon a large majority of English f orces , and - they must be lib , ' rally furnished. Th e castes Lan d races o f unqueutio,i able fid e lit y we may gm - it:tally recruitfrom ; hut we think it very doubtful i vhethor a single' additional native of the caste whit ai Aas proved itself disloyal u L ". ~ should ever be allowed to enter the army again. The Brahmins were once the supreme race in India—they will never thank us for our rule, and they ought never to have arms in their hands. Their importance has been cLiefly sustained by theireposition in the army; they ought henceforth to be kept out of it, and they will thus sink beneath the power to do mischief. To the Mussulmen, the instigators of the mutiny, and smarting under our rule as the conquerors whom we con quered, the same remarks to a considerable extent apply also. We must keep our power in India, so far as the army is concerned, not by pet ting the Mussultnan and Brahmin aristocracy, but by elevating those whom they despise. We must create our own aristocracy, and rigidly administer justice to all. After all it is our own island that must be our reliance. If we have but thirty millions here to enlist from, against the 100,000,000 of India, one English soldier is worth more than three natives —worth three times three more probably. Re taining the Artillery wholly in European hands, giving the predominance in strength to the Euro pean infantry, and employing only those diverse tribes and classes of the naives whose position and interest insured their fideli+y, our power would be not only secure, but it would never be assailed again. We should then have full leisure to carry out those social ameliorations, in regard to law, the administra tion of justice, irrigation, railroads, and every thing which facilitated the introduction of English capital, energy, and civilization into India, on which the future welfare of India unquestionably depends. As to Christianity, we believe with NAPIER, that under such a regime it must, though that is not the object of Government, drive out Hindooism, simply because truth and sense must beat supersitition and nonsense. LATEST NEWS. THE OVERLAND MAIL. THE MUTINIES IN INDIA. We have received our advices in anticipation of the Overland Mail. The dates are—Calcutta, July 29 ; Bombay, July 30 ;" Hong-Kong, July 10. The following is the summary of the Bombay Times of July 30 : _ During the last fortnight the career of rebellion has remained unchecked throughout India, except at Futtehpore, where the mutineers under Naea Saheb have been thrice defeated by the British troops. On the morning of the 17th instant, General Havelock, who left Allahabad with about 2„000 Europeans, consisting of the 64th Regiment, 78th Highlanders, Madras Fusiliers, and a com pany of Royal Artillery, attacked and totally defeated the insurgents, capturing eleven guns, and scattering their forces in utter confusion in the direction of Cawnpore. By two harassing marches he had joined Major Renaud's advanced column three hours before daylight, and arrived about eight o'clock four miles from Futtehpore, where he encamped. The enemy advanced out of Futtehpore, and opened fire upon a reconnoissance tinder Colonel Tytler. General Havelock marched with eight guns in the centre under Capt. Maude, Royal Artillery, forming the whole of the infantry in quarter distance column in support. Captain Maude's fire electrified the enemy, who abandoned gun after gun, and were then driven by our skir mishers and columns through garden enclosures, and the streets of Futtehpore, in complete con fusion. This splendid - victory was gained without " a single casualty on the side of the Btitish, not a man being touched by the fire of the enemy. The enemy's strength was said to have been two regi ment] of cavalee, throo of infantry, and eleven guns, which were all captured. After this battle General Havelock continued his victorious progress bowarde Cawnpore, which he re-occupied, after 11 eying beaten the enemy three times, and cep tearing twenty-six guns. Nana Saheb, the rebel I eader, had fled to Bithoor, which is about eight or t en miles distant from Cawnpore, and we have no doubt that General Havelock would follow the treacherous Mahratta up to that place. These glorious successes are dimmed by a fright fiul tragedy which has occurred at Cawnpore, where ;Sir Hugh Wheeler and a small band of Europeans' :had long held out against fearful odds. It appears frcnn tlienfl reports published regarding this melancholy idn c i at g astrophe, that after Sir Hugh co Wheeler was killed the force at Cawnpora accepted made by Nana Saheb and the m th i e rt ionffeeerrs.of safety Thetreaeherous miscreant, however. whose hands were already stained with the blooo of the luckless fugitives from Futtyghur, opened fire on the boats in which the party were allowed to enter, and destroyed them all. Other accounts state that the wives and children of the officers ant sol diers, consitiug of 240 persons, were taken into Cawnpore, an d sold by publ ic auc ti on , w h en , after being treated with the highest indignities, they were barbarously slaughtered by the inhabitants. There is, notwithstanding, a faint hope that sem. few have escaped the general massacre, as it is said VIA Nana Saheb has more than a hundle-d Euro pean prisoners in his hands, whom he intends to hold as hostages. These are probably the remains of General Wheeler's force at Cewnpore. Suet. atrocities as those committed by Nana Selieb are almost unparellelal iu the history of the world, but we hope toe punishment for his crimes will not be long deferred. • Lucknow still held out at the date of the latest advices, but its heroic defender the brave and noble minded Sir Henry Lawrence, is no more. The in telligence of the death of this gallant officer has reached Bombay from Lucknow, and has caused universal regret, as the event is truly regarded as a national loss in the present crisis. He was wounded in a sortie aglinst the enemy on the 2d July, and died of lockjaw on the 4th idem. The garrison nothing daunted by the death of their intrepid leader, continued to hold out against the hordes of mutineers who surrounded them, and it is expectee that they will maintain their ground until relieved by Geueral Havelock. Major Banks had assumed the command of the garrison, which continued in Ike highest spirits. The capture of Delhi has not yet been ac complished, and seems to be as far off as ever. The enemy made several sorties 'and attacked the British forces, but were always repulsed with heavy loss. On . the 9th, the_ muti neers assailed our right rear in force, but were driven back into the city, leaving 1,000 dead on the field. Several other attempts were made to turn the British position, but failed. Sir Henry Barnard, C. 8., Commander of the Forces, died in the British camp before Delhi on the sth July, of cholera. He has been succeeded in the command by General Reed, rereho acted with so much decision and judgment in the Punjaub on the first outbreak of the mutiny. The latest intelligence from Delhi is the 14th instant, when everything remained in the same state as heretofore. An officer in the camp, writing on that date, says, " We are doing nothing here towards taking Delhi, and are merely defending ourselves against sorties of the enemy. WO have parts of five European regiments, but can muster only 2,000 Europeans for any effective atteek, large detachments from each regiment hav ing been left to protect Jullunder , Loodianah, Dugshaie, Subathoo, Kuss owlie, Umballa, Meerut, and Phillour. In fact, small detachments only of each regiment have joined us. The enemy are far superior to us in artillery.' This shows the ne cessity for the prompt dispatch of large reinforce tnents front England, and we fear that nothing can be done to stem the tide of sedition until the ar-'1 rival of fresh troops in this country. At Agra matters have approached a crisis. The close neighbourhood of the , Neemuch and Nusseer abad mutineers, who encamped about 20 miles from the city, compelled the Eurppean residents to aban don the cantonments and take refuge in the foit. The garrison consisted of the 3d . Bengal Europeans and a battery of artillery,. besides which a corps of volunteers,nbout 500 strong, was raised from among the Christian population. The rebels having ap proached the city, with the evident object of plun dering the cantonments, the troops in the fort marched out to attack them on the sth July, when a battle ensued, in which the British suffered con siderable loss. Our troops, who bad no cavalry to support them, after having beaten the enemy, were obliged to retire into the fort, in consequence of their supply of ammueition having failed through the explosion of the tumbrils. There were 49 Europeans killed and 92 wounded in this affair, out of a total force of about five ' hun dred men engaged. The mutineers, aftei• the battle, destroyed nearly all the houses it the cantonment, in which they were assisted bi the budmashes of the city, and the prisoners libeiated from the gaol. The Europeon inhabitants, how ever, had previously taken refuge in the Port, which prevented a general massacre from taking place, the only people killed outside being Major Jacob, formerly in Scindiah's service, and Mr. Hubbard, of the Agra College. Captain D'Oyly, of the Bengal Artillery, was mortally wounded in the action on the sth inst., and six gentlemen be longing to the militia were also killed, one of whom was Monsieur Jourdan, the celebrated equestrian performer. The details of the mutiny at Mhow and Indore, and the massacre at the latter place, where about 40 Europeans were cruelly murdered, have been re ceived since our last summary. Bloodshed might have been prevented if precautions had been taken earlier, as at Saugor and Nagpore ; but. Col. Platt, commanding the station, had implicit confidence in the fidelity of his men, and believed them to be quite staunch to the last moment. Bo infa tuated was he in this belief, that he actually left the fort for the purpose of haranguing the men of the 23d N. 1., but paid with his life the penalty of his blindness. Major Harris, commanding the Ist Light Cavalry, and Capt. Fagan, Adjutant of the 23d Native Infantry, were also murdered, but the rest of the officers and ladies took refuge in a for tified square, which was held by Capt. Hungerford's battery of Europeans. At Indore, the Residency was attacked by Holkar's disaffected troops, joined by the rabble of the city, but Colonel Durand, the Resident, and the rest of the officers of his suite, succeeded in making their escape, protected by some faithful companies of the Bheel Corp. , . Many Europeans were butchered in the city, and among them was Mr. Ross McMahon, a civil engineer, who took a contract for several public works under the Maharajah of Indore. Holkar's mutinous troops, joined by the disaffected regiments from Mhow, after looting the treasury, proceeded on to Gwalior, and will doubtless endeavour to make their way to Delhi. Holkar has remained firm in his adherence to the British Government, and has not been pre vailed on to join the general insurrection. The Bombay moveable column, under the command of Brigadier Stuart, is advancing towards Indore, so -hat we may soon hear of the restoration of tran quillity in Central India. On the 9th July, the troops at Sealkote, in the Punjaub, consisting of a wing of the 9th Light Cavalry, and the 46th N. 1., broke out into open •nutiny, and after murdering several persons, and doing all the injury in their power, in the destruc tion of houses and property, &c., left the station in a body for the eastward, taking with them carriage?, buggies, Sec. The persons ascertained to have been killed are the following :—Capt. Bishop, 46th N. 1.; Dr. Graham, superintending surgeon ; Dr. Gra ham, medical storekeeper ; Rev. Mr. Hunter, wife and child. Brigadier Brind has also been wounded. 111 the others appear to be safe in the fort, includ ing the families of the drummers ; and of the ladies and children who escaped, several were escorted to the fort by Sepoys who remained faithful, or by Sowers, who, after leaving them, returned to the rest of the mutineers. Dr. and Mrs. Butler, who were at first supposed to have been killed, have since arrived at the Fort of Sealkote with their family, also Mr. and Mrs. Saunders and their children, and 21 sick Europeans belonging to her Majesty's 52d Foot. The Sealkote mutineer; who took the route towards Delhi, managed to cross the Ravee at a ford near Trimmoo Puttun, early on the 12th inst. They were attacked by Brigadier-General Nicholson, at noon, and after a brief struggle, driven back across the river, leaving a quantity of their baggage and plunder in our hands. Their casualties are estimated at 200 in killed and wounded, and our loss at 6 men kaled and 25 wounded. From Hyderabad (Deccan), the capital of the Nizam's dominions, we learn that a serious rising occurred in that city on the 18th July. About 4,000 budmasbes, led by 300 Rohillas, marched Upon the Residency to demand the release of he Jemadar of the Ist Nizam's Cavalry, who had oeen caught and delivered over to the Resident Salar Jung. Major Davidson acted with much decision, and opened fire upon the rabble from 4everal guns, which caused them to disperse. Several of the Rohillas and others were killed, and many of them made prisoner's by the Nizamn's m.3r eenaries. The leader of t h e Rohillas, who - was mortally wounded, was afterwards captured. Th,3 ity has since remained quiet. To prevent any ther outbreaks of the turbulent Rohillas, who are ielieved to be ripe for sedition, the wing of the 12th Lancers, stationed at Kirkee, has been ordered to ' Elyderabad, and is now en route towards that capi al. A field force, consisting of several regiments Of the Hyderabad Contingent, under the command of Major W. A. Orr, is being formed on the north ' ern frontier of the Nizam's dominions, and will act in conjunction with the Bombay moveable columns, to put down revolt in Central India. A plot was discovered on the 3ath June last to create an insurrection at Nagpore, but through the ~recautions taken by .the authorities, it proved un successful; and the conspirators were brought toy justice. Three native officers, who were convicted ,f mutiny, were han g ed by sentence ~f court-mar ial. distifrOancehas since taken place, and the -; aliiince is perfectly tranquil. The mutiny at Saugor, to which we alluded in our last summary has been unatt •nded with blood shed, the Europeans having secured themselves in the fort before the outbreak occurred. Part of the nutiuous regiments also remained faithful, and aided in repelling the assaults of their evil-disposed comrades. _ , _ In the massacre at Jhansi, on the Bth June, most )f the European residents perished, the local Ma homedan authorities having, with the aid of the mutinous sep.Ts, massacred them with the usual atrocities. There were 55 of them in all, including the ladies and children, who were all ruthlessly murdered. The Punjaub still remains tranquil, which is due to the wise manangement and prudent foresight of Sir John Lawrence, the Chief Commissioner, who has acted with consummate wisdom through these troublous times. The organisation of Sikh levies, both of horse and foot - , is progressing favour al ay throughout the country, and General Van Courtlandt's force is doing good service on the frontiers of Rajpootana. With the excep tion of the mutiny at Sealkote, no outbreak of any consequence has occurred in the Punjaub. The native population of the large towns has been dis armed by order of the chief commissioner, a measure which will greatly increase the public security. Throughout the North-Western Provinces and Upper Bengal, murder, rapine, and spoliation are the order of the day. We are constantly sickened by the recital of tales of wholesale slaughter, in which unoffending women and children have not been spared by the fiendish monsters who sought their lives. Those who are fortunate enough to escape have of course been utterly ruined, while many of the weaker sex are perhaps deprived of their natural protectors, and must therefore be objects of pity and commiseration. This feeling has shown itself throughout the more favoured provinces of India, which have been exempt from the fearful calami ties which have laid wave this fair land, and efforts are accordingly made to relieve the immediate wants of the unfortunate sufferers. Subscription lists have been opened iu Cal- Cutta, Madras, Bombay, Scinde, and the Punjaub, and contributions to the relief fund are rapidly accumulating, and will be forwarded to Calcutt a wad other parts, and applied to the humane purpose for which they have been collected. In Bombay, all classes have joined in the demonstration, and the natives seem to vie with their European brethren, in subscribing towards this object. We have no doubt that . , when the extent of suffering cause 1 by these mutinies becomes generally known in Eng land, the same spirit will animate tie British pub who will generously come forward to assist tlAey_tinfortuns.te countrymen, and bereaved C3UII- trywomen. • Ak:Calcutta,every , thing is quiet,. and c onfidence is being restored by the arrival of, the troops deli tined for China. The sth Fusileers, from the Mau ritius, arrived in the Simoom ; and we learn by elec tric telegraph from Madras, that the Himalaya, with her Majesty's 90th Regiment on board, had anchored in the Hooghly. This reinforcement will enable us to hold our ground in Bengal, and relieve Lucknow, but it is not sufficient to settle other parts of the country, or advance towards Delhi from the Eastward. The European inhabitants had cheer fully embodied themselves into a corps of volun teers, which greatly contributed towards the public safety. Since the arrest of the King of Oude the Government were on the alert, and the malcontents who formerly plotted the overthrow of our rule have been quite disconcerted. The Gover ner-General is at Calcutta, sod Sir P. Grant, the Provincial Commander-in-Chief. likewise there. Nothing is stirring in the Madras Presidency, and Southern India seems to repose in unbroken security. The army is believed to be faithful to the Government, and the breath of suspicion does not rest upon its unshaken loyalty. At Madras, where a pan , c was for some time prevalent, the European community have enrolled themselves as volunteers and are being organised as a miliiary body. The Hindoo and Mahomedan inhabitants had presented an address to government, expressive of their at tachment to the British rule, and abhorrence of the frightful atrocities committed by the mutineers. In reply they were thanked f.l. their sentiments of loyalty, which they were requested to make gene rally kuown. Subscriptions had been opened for the relief of the sufferers in Bengal, as well as for the families of the Ist Madras Fusiliers, many of whom had fallen while serving against the mu inees. Ttie Bombay presidency, though sometimes dis turbed by unnecessary panics, is in a state of perfect tranquillity, At Ahmedabad, during the last fortnight, about seven troopers of the Guzerat Irregular Horse attempted to raise th , standard of revolt, but they were promptly pursued by the Commandant, Captain Taylor, who shot two of them, and took the rest pri , oners. They have been tried and condemned, and it is likely they will expiate their crime on the gallows. An emeute occupied at Punderpoor, a sacred town near Sholapoor, in which the Mamlut dar, or native magistrate, was killed, but this has led to no serious result. Some engineers of the Ba roda railway, stationed at that place crested un necessary alarm by precipitately deserting the station, and hastily making off to Surat, declaring that a large body of insurgents were marching to wards the Guicowar's capital. Their childish fears, however, have only made them the laughing stock of the public, or no apprehension is felt of a distur aoce in Guzerat. A. portion of the Gwalior Contin gent, which garrisoned the fortree of Asseerghur, being suspected of entertaining mutinous designs, were quicely marched out and disarmed, and 1301110 of the ringleaders have been executed. Another moveable column of troops, under the command of Brigadier C. Steuart, of the 14th Light Dragoons, has been formed for service in the Deccan, in order to protect our territories from the 'mutineers. A. crowded meeting, attended by all classes of the in habitants of Bombay, was held in the . Town Hall on the 20th July, for the purpose of raising a fund for the relief of the sufferers by the disturbances in the Upper Provinces. The contributions to this fund already amount to 33,508 rupees. The rains which have long been holding off in a most re markable manner, have set in at last, and the wea ther is now of a monsoonish character. For the la,t three days, we have hid a constant succession of heavy showers, and there i 3 but little fear of a deficient monsoon. The Governor is still at the ' Presidency ; but the Commander-in-Chief remains at Poona, where his presence is required on account of the military movements taking place in the Deccan. - The business transacted in our import market during the fortnight has been to a very limited ex tent; the tightness in the money market has, if any increased, and looking to the poiAure of af- Nrs all over the coun!ry, we hesitate to expect any chan 4 e for the better for some time to cette. The government has issued a notification allowing holders of 4 per cent. paper to pay into the open 5 per cent. loin one half in cash and one half in the t-aid pro aiissory notes. The banks have not yet al tered their rates of interest ; our local joint stock shares keep pretty firm. The rate of freights for Liverpool has been steady, while that for London has advanced. BEFORE DELHI. The Lahore Chronicle of July 1 has the following remarks in relation to the state of affairs before Delhi : "The tall of Delhi, so anx'ously looked for, appears to be as far off as ever. We are receiving reinforce ments, so are the rebels. We are getting in ammunition end stares, the mutineers are doing likewise, because Delhi is only invested on one side, or more properly speaking on one point. There are miles of wane with several gates that are entirely free to the besieged. "This is not the fault of General Barnard ; he does as much as he can with the force under his command. But Delhi is a very large city some seven miles (eve believe) in circumference with a river running along its eastern and 'lngest side. The place has beeides been s'rengthened by the aid of our engineers, and we under stand that the walls could not be breached from any distance, as the crest of the glacis is about on a level with the top of the wall on the inner side of the ditch, -o that every shot fired must go over the wall into . the town. It is a pity that an attempt was not made on the Bth inst., when the enemy was first driven in with great loss, to take the city by a coup de maim, which, in the opinion of several officers en the spot, could scarc , ly have failed. We must not, however, condemn the mili tary leaders fur having held different views. Delhi has been allowed ample time for preparation and a fearful loss of life that could not be afforded might have been the result of an immediate assault." We observe it stated that the Nusseerabad mutineers have got into Delhi, but lost about 200 men in doing so. On the Bth July, a party was sent out from Camp to destroy the 1311583 e Bridge over the Canal, about 60 miles from Delhi. The work was effec ually performed, and as the supplies of the muti neers were largly ob , ained by this route, the effect has been most salutary. The roads are now patrolled by our So wars, which has given confidence to the villagers, and supplies are brought into Camp in abundance. On the 9th the mutineers attacked the right rear of the British army in force, and were driven int" the city with heavy loss. Of the Jhelum mutineers it is stated that there cannot,- be more than a hundred now at large ; these are being still pursued. Or those who 7.t st escaped many nave been brought in, and a whole boatload were drowned. —Lahore Chronicle, July 11. Accounts have been received from the moveable column which hal been moving very rap dly on wards, and marched from Umtitsur to Go rdas p re, a distance of ncaily 40 miles, without a halt. The mutineers had not crossed the Ravee, and are not likely to do so. The organisation of levies, horse and foot, throughout the Punj tub, is progressing very satis factorily. —I bid, July 13. On the ICth the mutiueera came out of Delhi in force, and obliged our working parties in the suburbs to retire : heavy rail came on and the mutineers returned into tue city. The rebels appear to have kept quiet within the walls up to the afternoon of the 12th inst. Their loss is estimated to have been nearly 1,000 killed in the action of the 9th. There was a report in the city of the approach of a force of Europeans ft-rya Alinurh, and the muti neers were talking of breaking down the bridge over the Hindon Gliazee-ood-deep Nugger. From correct information received yesterday, it appears that a portion of the mutineers of the 14th NJ., at Jlielom, succeeded in escaping, and were being pursued when the message was despatched. Their number has not been ascertained, nor has the direction taken by them been as yet intimated. No further intelligence has been received from 'the army before Delhi.--Lahore Chronicle Extra, July 10. The followinc , is a correct translation of the pr clamation issued at Delhi by the mutineers. Thus runs the lying and insolent appeal : " , To ALL HINDOOS AND MIISSULMANS, CITIZENS AND SERVANTS OF HINDOSTAN, THE OFFICERS OF THE ARMY NOW AT DELIII and MEERUT SEND GREETING "It is well known that in these days all the English have entertained these evil designs—first, to destroy the religion of the whole Hindostani army, and then to make the peeve by compulsion Chris tians. Therefore, we solely on account of our re ligion, have combined with the people, and have not spared alive one infidel, and have re-vstablished the 13,1 hi dynasty on these terms, and thus act in obedience t , order and receive double pay. Hundreds of guns and a large amount of treasure have fallen into our bands ; therefore it is fitting that whoever of the soldiers and people dislike turning Christians should unite with one heart and acting courageously, and not leave the seed of these infidels remaining. For any quantity of supplies delivered to the army the owners are to take the receipt.of the officers ; and they will receive double plyment from the Imperial Government. Whoever shall in these times exhibit cowardice, or credu lously believe the promises of those impostors, the Engrsb, shall very shortly be pot to shame for such a deed ; and, rubbing the hands of sorrow, shalt receive for their fidelity the reward the ruler of Lucknow got. It is further necessary that all Ilindo“8 and Massulinans unite iu this struggle, and, taluwing the instructions of some respectable people, keep them-elves secure, so that good order way be nmin tained, the poorer cissoes kept contented, and they themselves be gall.ed to tank and dignity ; that all, so far as it is possible, copy this proclarna tio.i, and despatch it everywhere, tbat all tree Hin do..)s and Mtmulaians may be alive and watchful, and fix it in some conspicuous place (but prudently to avoid detection), and strike a blow with a sword before giving circulation to it. The first pay of the soldiers of Delhi will be 30r per month for a trooper, and 10r. a foot man. Nearly 100,000 men are ready► and there are 13 flags of the English regiments and about 14 standards from different parts now raised slop for our religion, for God, and the conqueror, and it is the intention of Cawnpore to root out this seed of the devil. This is what we of the army here wish." TRAGEDY AT CAWNPORE, AND RE' CAPTURE OF THE CITY. The following intelligence is furnished by Go vernment : Allahabad, July 5 —Colonel Neill reports that he had received a note dated night of the 4th, from Mai l Renaud, of the Madras Fusiliers, commanding the ad° vance column sent towards Ctwnpore, that he had sent men into that place who reported on their return that , in consequence of Sir Hugh Wheeler being shot throug h the leg, and afterwards mortally, the force had accepted the proffer of safety made by the Nana Saheb and th e mutineers. The Nana allowed them to get into boa" .ith all they had and three and a half lace of rupee' , that after getticg them on boats fire was opened on them! from the bank, and all were destroyed. One boat g°: away ten miles down the river, w as p ursue d, b r ougb' hack, and all in her taken back into barracks and shot" One old lady was alive on the 3d at Futtehpore.

THE MUTINY AT SEALKOTE. The following is a brief account of the fight Wi tP the Sealkote mutineers : "12th July, 1857.—About 9 a.m. this morning, i lifo e oration was received that the Sealkote mutineers o ' o crossing at Trirnmoo by a ford.

The Europeans could not stand thi', b L o with a cheer they went at them with th e b a y one t. . I. '" e or three Pandys had bayo n ets throu g h th em i n no tia 3 ; and the rest turned and fled. The Sixth Punjsub Infant r J, then advanced and drove them across the Ravee, leav ia eo their camp and all their loot on the river bank on , t ; b e l b side. They had a gun on the other side, from vt''""b 0 they beg an pounding us with round sh o t, an d 04 not one told, yet the gun was, considering the distsl o 'nighty well serves, nor can we imagine woo they bac l o serve it.
