Advices in anticipation of the Overland Mail have duly come to hand, and copious extracts will be found in another part of our impression. They fully confirm tho telegrams which appeared in The Sun of yesterday, and give ample reason to hope that we have witnessed the beginning of the end of the rebellion. Indeed, the capture of Dahi, and the ignominious flight of the mock Emperor, will go far to convince the insurgents of the utter hopelessness of their cause and of the reckless folly of their conduct, in sacrificing the substance in pursuit of not merely a shadow, but a phantom. It could not, of course, have been anticipated that the moral effects of the sack of the imperial city, and the disposal of the .survivors of its gar rison should be displayed. We have only just learned that Delhi was in the possession of the English troops, and that the rebels had fled, dis tracted by internal dissensions. The regiments who had not murdered their officers or imbrued their hands in innocent blood manifestly desired to separate themselves from their more guilty companion 3. Iu some instances overtures have been received from the insurgents. Of course, however, no negotiations could be entered into with armed rebels. They were bound, in the first instance, to prove the sincerity of their repf.;ntance by not only withdrawing them 3t,4;ies from tie enemy's standards, but by using the British weapons with which they were areaed .aleanA the foes of Great Britain. In such °l', might ho some mitigation of the pnnisiiment justly merited by those who, although they had' PrGY,I unfaithf u l to their salt, had not been gulty of murder, or of offends of a still more , atrocious character. But the submission should br unconditional 'and the evid ence of true peni tence unqueAionahle. Although the rebel standard go long floated over Delhi—although the Britioh tro - ops we re dt. layed four months bifore its walls—the lesson is ----_ tl.r , more impressive, and the results may be tl i , snore valuable. It has boon proved, beyond the possibility of doubt, that the most organised and compltteroutbreak may he suppressed by the c „,_ dinaryt uropean forces, even without awaiting tli arrival of the powerful reinforcements despatche3l from Europe. Delhi has fallen, the mutineelis and rebels dispersed, without the assistance of the trained and disciplined troops whose arrival IVAq daily anticipated - Full time had been afforded to develope the full extent of the disaffection. We have ascertained the full extent .of the danger ; have been enabled to take all the elements of dis turbance into calculation. We shall no longer be slumbering carelessly on the edge of a volcano, or relying on shattered reeds for support. We can distinguish between the good and the bad, and know where confidence is merited and where no reliance can be placed ; and also the vast dif ference between European and Native troops. The British prestige has been fully maintained. Never has greater lustre been reflected on our arms. The most extraordinary odds—ten, aye, twenty to one—have been boldly encountered, and in every instance satisfactorily disposed of. There was no rebel success achieved, save by surprise or against helpless and unarmed fugitives. The rebels could massacre, could violate, could plunder, but they could not fight. And that im portant result will long remain firmly impressed on their memories, preventing the probability, aye, the possibility of another outbreak. It will greatly strengthen our power, when the scattered fragments of the rebellion—the very neck whereof has been broken, have been finally disposed of. As we yesterday stated, the news from Cawn pore and Lucknow is highly satisfactory. Before .irossing the Ganges HAVELOCK had issued a most important proclamation, ordering that rebels from Oude, who were in custody with their wives and children, should be kept as hostages, to secure against a repetition, at Lucknow and else where, of atrocities similar to those com mitted. at Cawnpore and Jhansi. Such a proceeding is perfectly justifiable. It is due to the helpless sufferers at Lucknow to avail ourselves of every means to obtain their protec tion and good treatment in the event of their un fortunately falling into the hands of the rebels. But this vigorous and decided conduct has been neutralised by a piece of official red tapism. Mr. J. P. GRANT, whose appointment to act independently of the Generals has been already severely criticised, had taken upon him self to order the liberation of 150 prisoners taken by General NEILL at Cawnpore. This ridiculous leniency has been loudly and justly condemned. What ! at Cawnpore, where the most horrible outrages had been committed—where English women and English children had been butchered in cold blood under circumstances of the most fiendish cruelty—to pronounce an act of amnesty on such men, many of whom had participated in those atrocities, and that even before the relief )f Lucknow, or the safety of the fugitives shel tered within its walls ! It was holding out a pre mium to crime, an incentive to guilt of the most diabolical character. The same smooth-tongued civilian had coolly intimated to General NEILL at Allahabad, that the work of retribution was not to go on. There, he was told by the distinguished soldier to mind his own business, as martial law had been proclaimed. It seems that " the force of folly could no further go ;" but, still, we fear that similar exploits on the part of Lord CANNING and his subordinates may mate rially damage the English cause, unless they are summarily got rid of at the earliest possible oppor tunity. We may Piped to-morrow the summary of the news from Bombay. As we stlted yesterday, 3 verything, with some few and rare exceptions, is going on as satisfactorily as could have been an ,icipated, and we may now reasonably expect that each succeeding mail will bring intelligenc3 of further improvement, until the great Indian Re bellion is completely suppressed, and the fates of the chief actors therein will only serve to " Point a moral and adorn a tale." The City of Washington steamer has arrived at Liverpool with further advises from New York to the 15th instant. The suspension of cash pay ments had been accepted. Its imperative neces- site was universally recognised, and business was going on as usual, except that specie was refused in large sums ! The Banks at Boston, Portland, Hartford, Albany, and other important places, had followed the example of New York. The Secr etary of the Treasury had also given notice that there will be no further redemption of Government stock. Indeed, the game had been carried on too long, and it was an act of imperative necessity at last, the Customs' duties have declined so materially at all the principal ports, that it was doubtful if the Government could find funds for its current expenses. The effects of the re solution were, L however, manifested in a general improvement, and it was only regretted that the step had not been much sooner taken, so 'that " an immense amount of ruin might have been averted." Why can we not profit by this salutary lesson f Are we to permit matters to go on in their present course until thousands of victims are sacrificed, and, then, only to interfere in order that the moneyocracy may realise their profits. The Liverpool Borough Bank was compelled to stop payment yesterday. But in consequence of the assistance tardily afforded by the Bank of England, it will resume on Friday. It is said that no less than 1,500,000 T. will be required to meet the claims of its depositors. Of course the assets are ample, but so much will, for the time being, be abstracted from the available resources of the Old Lady of Threadneedle-street, for affording monetary facilities to the commercial and manufacturing in terests, and the banking capital of the country, will eventually be diminished by more than a mil lion sterling. Other embarrassments were also hinted at, but of course we can give no weight Ito such rumours until they receive full corroboration. We cannot, however, go on Much longer in the present course. According to the existing system, credit is virtually at an end. Thousands of respectable and per fectly solvent firms must either suspend opera tions, or submit to such sacrifices as will seriously impair their resources. Tens of thousands of in dustrious operatives will be thrown out of employ ment and compelled to endure very severe priva tions. The public revenue will be seriously injured, and all from au insane persistence in a system which has twice proved abortive. This time, the mere suspension of the Bank Charter Act will not suffice. An issue of small notes is imperatively required ; and we should say in addition a suspension of specie pay ments. The former would certainly liberate an immense quantity of bullion, now uselessly circulating, for the purposes of every-day life. But it will not check the drain. It would render ten, fifteen, or twenty millions of gold coin avail able, but we should impoverish ourselves in order to meet a foreign demand. The true course would be to give gold its real value as a cone l'"(LtY, and to compel those who wish to with draw it from our markets to pay a fair price. All domestic disturbance would then cease , and that is our first look out. &Lu re (via, Pent, is now the cry amongst al classes. Th e Panic' will be come a p er f ec t rout: The East I n di an Ceimpauy, in additi on to these dealings, are rep or t e d to have borrowed largely from some of the leading joint-stock b an k s . It is imperative ti en that Parliament should be con vened, without any unnecessary del ay, In order that the measures, which the magnitude of the crisis demand, may receive the only constitutional sanction at the earliest possible moment. LATE 9T NEWS. CAPTURE OF DELHI. THE SUN, LON'D:ON, WEDNESDAY EVIENING,' OCTOBER THE CALCUTTA MAIL. We have received advices in anticipation of the Overland Mail from Calcutta, Sept. 24 ; Madras, Sept. 30 ; and Hong Kong, Sept. 10. The news of the final capture of Delhi had not reached Cal cutta on the 25th of Sept. From the Madras Athenceum we obtain the fol lowing intelligence from Delhi : " By electric telegraph from Bombay we are in possession of nows from Delhi to the 14th Septem ber. The long expected siege train had at last reached camp on the 4th, had been put into posi tion between and was severely pounding the Moree and Cashmere bastions, and had taken an advanced position of the enemy's, three hundred and fifty yards from the city walls. On the 14th the Lahore Chronicle contained a message from Gen. Wilson, dated 14th, 10 a.m., Delhi city, to the following ef fect, as telegraphed to us : " Delhi has been assaulted this morning, and fighting going on. Our column making slow pro gress.' " The official summarist adds that this news is not very clear, but the telegraph signaller states that the attack was successful, and as the General's message is dated from the city it would appear that he has entered it. Until, however, further infor mation reaches us it would be idle to speculate on the matter. Having thus alluded to the latest news received up to the time of writing, we will now notice events of an earlier date. It is stated in a message which brought news from Delhi to Sept. 10, that more batteries would soon be at work, and much closer to the walls ; that the re bels were keeping up a heavy fire of grape and musketry, and were doing very little damage to our force, but that they had inflicted upon us a loss of fifty killed and wounded while the siege train was being got into position ; among the for mer were two officers. The Cashmere Contingent, consisting of three thousand men, had arrived, so that with Brigadier General Nichol sOn's reinforcements, the strength of our army be fore Delhi must be upwards of 10,000 fighting men. It is becoming fully evident that the rebel city is at the last extremity, for it is reported that the mutineers of those regiments that had not mur dered their officers had separated from the others and left the place. They are said to have num bered about five thousand. It also appears that a flag of truce was sent out, and that the rebels pro posed to hang all the actual murderers, imagining, it is to be supposed, that this would satisfy * * but we are glad to say that all overtures were sternly repulsed. The state of affairs inside the city, which was described in our last is said to still continue, so that when the messengers from Lucknow and Bareilly arrived to confer with the rebel king, it is no wonder that they wore greatly surprised and mortified,' as the commissioner at Umballah re ported on the sth of September was the case t 3 the several governments. On the whole, our position is vastly improved, and it is more than posibl) that, before the mail closes, we may have to record cheering news.—ln our last we mentioned that a battle at Nujufghur had taken place. It now ap pears that it was a consequence of the movement of the Bareilly and Neemuch divisions of the enemy attempting to outflank our forces and take us in rear. The result, stated in our last, shows how despicable they are in a fair field. We also alluded to the escape of a lady named Leeson from the city. Since then we have learned that she came into our camp disguised as an Affghan, her hands and face being browned so as to resemble a native. As she had been compelled to remain in complete seclusion while in the city she necessarily had very little to say with regard to -what was going on there, but she firmly believes that there are several Europeans, 1 bbth men and women, kept in nonce alment. "Since writing the above, we have received from our Bombay correvondent the following very im portant messages by electric telegraph : "BOMBAY, Sept. 18. " ' A telegraph was received yesterday from Col. Durand, at Mhow, announcing the receipt there of an expr.3.ss from Captain Eden, at Jeypoor, de spatched on the 18th, and gives the following extract of a letter from Col. Young, dated at LleadQuar ters, Skinner's house, 'Delhi, 15th inst. The assault took place yesterday morning soon after daybreak, and the storming was entirely successful. We were soon in possession of the end of the Fort, with the Cashmere, Cabul, and Moree gates, which we now hold, with the church, college, an 1 other large buildings near this on Skinner's house, in which head-quarters are. Preparations are now making for heavy batteries to knock the mutineers out of those parts of tho city in which they now are ; many of the city people have come in for and re ceived quarters. The Sepoys wanted to come &so, but they were not permitted. The casualties are said to be heavy. No artillery officers, however, were killed or wounded. A great many of the mutineers have escaped. The cavalry left last night, it is said towards Rewaree. Our news from the Punjaub and the North generally, as also from Meerut, is satisfactory. A petty rajah and his son blown from guns at Jubbulpore, on the 18th fur plotting the destruction of Europeans." " BOMBAY, Friday, Sept. 25, sa. m. " Aidah from Kurrachee, 22d. Lahore Chro nicle Extra of the 14th contains a message from General Wilson, 14th, 10 a.m , from Delhi city. Delhi has been assaulted this morning, and fight ing going on. One column makes slw progruss. Official summarist adds news, not very clear ; but signaller adds the attack was successful.' " BOMBAY, Tuesday, Sept. 29. " No further news of Delhi ; Dawks been re ceived about Moolkee ; report that our loss was six hundred men, and forty or fifty offica.s kille 1 and wounded, au`henticity doubtful. Wing of her Ma. jesty's 95th arrived. Dussara passed off quietly.'" The following is from the summary of the Bengal Harkanc, of Sept. 24 : " The past fortnight, although far from unevent ful, has yet been in )re suggestive than active : there has been the gathering of the elements—the brewing of the storm ; but at the latest data of writing no tidings of the bursting of the thunder cloud have reached 113, and we can still only hope for the best. " On the first of the month Al..kw-General Out ram arrived at Allahabad ; he was followed on that and the two succeeding days by portions of his troops, consisting of the 90th Foot, the sth Fusi liers, some details of other regiments of artillery,, making, including drafts from the Allahabad gar rison, nearly 1,400 men in all. Oa the sth they commenced moving towards Cawnpere. The artil lery and some infantry and native cavalry, under Major Vincent Eyre, bad bean cent on in advance. On approaching Futtehpore they found the enemy in some force strongly entrenched on the right (Futtehpore) bank of the river, prepared apparently to resist their further advance. Eyre, however, made short work of them ; ho sent his cavalry and infantry at them, and drove them, with great loss to them and but little to our men, into their boats; as they attempted to cro :s over to the opposite bank his guns opened upon them, and sunk and destroyed numbers. This operation having been most success fully performed, the march upon Cawnpore was resumed. As to the SUCCOn of the expedition, few in Calcutta, none of those who ought to be best informed, entertain the smallest doubt, and if the heroic garrison possess the means of pro. longing their resistance but a few days longer, their safety will, in all human probability, be secured. It is not anticipated that the opposi tion to our advance will be of the same deter mined nature as on the former occasion ; in fact, two regiments have already made overtures to our authorities to return to their allegiance, and al though the offer of course was scouted, still the fact of its having been made at all, proves the disunion prevalent among the insurgents. " At Agra all continued well °tithe latest dates ; the country had been deprived of *the services of John Colvin, Glovernor of the North-Western Y . .. ~ Provinces. Worn by the unceasing anxieties and labours of his charge,' to use the language of the Governor-General, ' health and strength gave way.' " Coming lower down towards Calcutta, we find the whole of Behar in a most disorganised state. Kooer Singh, the rebel chieftain of Arnt, has in deed carried his incursions into Rewah, where he was at once joined by the troops of the Rajah who had been sent to oppose him ; but his brother UmmurSingh is still in Behar, and at the bead of a considerable body of men ; no opposition has been offered to his progress. The sth Irregular Cavalry too, from Bhaugulpore, have been joined by all the disaffected in the district, and are laying waste the country in every direction. At the earnest solicitation of Mr. Money, collector of Gya, Mr. Samuells, the new commissioner of Patna, being informed that the Irregulars bad taken up a posi tion near Gya, ordered a party of Sikhs to attack them : the measure was decided on in direct oppo sition to the wishes of th© military authorities. The result was that the Sikhs were not only re- , pulsed, but outmanoeuvred : the insurgents entered Gya before them, and again plundered that un happy city. Sir Colin Campbell has, we believe, taken the only effectual means of putting a stop to these disorders by sending up a compact body of five thousand Europeans under an officer of skill and experience. " Our accounts from Delhi do not date later than the sth instant. We have, however, received information of the effect which the account cf the Cawnporo massacre had upon the troops. It literally made them cry aloud for revenge. " The Punjab still stands out in bold relief to the rest of India. There, wherever mutiny has raised its head, it has been promptly and severely crushed. In no single instance has Sir John Lawrence failcd Of 9.1CC03°. The 55th, composed.of Brahmins, who mutinied because they preferred death to loss cf caste,' being pursued, took refuge with the Swats, who not only plundered them of their wealth, but converted them into Mahomedans, and then turned them adrift ; the 9th Cavalry, 26th, 46th Native Infantry, and others, were cut up almost to a man, and Sir John has been enabled not only to main tain trarquillity, but to furnish a large force fur the operations against Delhi. " Since writing the above we have received in formation from Government that Generals Outran and Havelock crossed the Ganges at Cawnpore on the 19th inst., and that all was well at Lucknosv cn the 16th idem. The relief of the garrison may therefore be looked upon almost as a foregone con clusion. " From Delhi the intelligence is excellent. " Just before going to press we learnt on good authority that the 50th Native Infantry mutinied at Nagode, but the officers of the regiment were safe, for once their soldiers not having massacred them like so many other corps. " The only circumstance that has disturbed the tranquillity of Calcutta during the past fortnight has had reference to the press. On the 18th iust. the Government cancelled the Hurkaru's license, thus virtually suppressing the paper. It is a curious fact that the two papers which until the arrival of Lord Canning were always supposed to represent more or less the views and wishes of the Govern ment, the Friend of India and the liurkaru, have been the first to feel the iron heel of despotic and irresponsible authority. For ourselves, we frankly confess that we considered the Press Gagging Act virtually as a breach of contract between one estate and another : we thought it unfair, im politic, and uncalled for, and we did not hesitate in consequence to express our opinion of men and measures in language which we did not care to guard. We had that confidence in our counrrynaen that we believed that no body of Englishmen—mes born in the land of free discussion, and educated in the same liberal ideas as ours_lves—would ever combine to stop the free expression of opinion. Wo can only now admit that we were mistaken, and although our sentiments regarding the great line of policy to ba maintained at the present crisis remain unchanged, and are, humanly speaking, unchange able, we shall in future, of necessity, guard against the use of any expression that might be converted into an en3ino against ourselves. Our license was estored to us last night, after an interregnum of six days' duration. The subject is one which will not beagain adverted to until some definite arrange men' be arrived at regarding the press. " The Calcutta Englishman of Sept. 24 says : CAMP BEFORE DELHI, AUG. 2U. As it is quite pc ssible that the rouudsbout route by Bombay may, for some weeks yet be the only one open between this and Calcutta, I send you these few lines by it to let you know what we are doing, and give you an account of a glorious affair which Brigadier-General Nicholson had with the enemy yesterday. The day previous we received information that a large force under General B u khtar Singh, of Bireilly notoriety, had left the city, of course with the objec, of gaining our rem-, and intercepting our sie ge t ra i n , w hi c h l e ft e n r oute fr om F erozepore, on the It appears fr om th e i n f ormat i on U 23 m a ba i l n la s b t: we re caived that thi s G eneral had, from his repeated want of success got into leap disfavour with the King, and had actually been brought to trial by court - martial, or at least before the Royal Council, who deeply blArned him. Upon tphlaiscetdheatGif a good force were only disposal, to Wipe out all recollection of the past by a crowning victory over us, seizing our siege tram, cutting off our communications, and, I believe, occupying Umballah and Kurnaul. He got the force, and a large one too—sir infantry heniseraloffe red, regiments to commence with, a big crowd of ca valry, and a formidable array of guns and ammu nition, and left the city the flay before yesterday; three more Irregular regiments followed yesterday morning The ni g ht before last Nicholson i s a reinforcement, als oleft our camp y amp, and took the field with the Ist Fusiliers, her Maje s t y ' s 61 st, a s t rong squadron of her Majesty's 9 t h L ancers an d two corpslnfantry. Yesterday afternoon, at half- of P past4 7j N a ie uh hoisoii came u pon the enemy, and a very sharp fight ensued, which en d e d i n our defeat ing the Pandies with great slaughter, capturing 12 guns, a vast quantity of tumbrils and ammunition, bulloc:.s, tents, camp equipage, et7c., and dispersing , the broken enemy. Our loss is trifling, when es- ✓ timated with reference to the results Assistant- Surgeon Ireland, Lumsden of the Guides, and Gabbet of the 61st, killed, and about eighty men killed and wounded. Full particulars are not yet known, as the first news has only reached camp. All the morning our fellows have bean blowing up the tumbrils captured from the enemy, and a large train of bullocks has left camp to bring in the guns. I believe that the General was knowing enough to make up his mind not to return unsuc cessful into Delhi, and accordingly took out all his ill-gotten property and plunder with him ; but in all probability Nicholson saved him the expense and trouble of carriage, and the scoundrel has made off in light marching order from his master's service. This victory is most satisfactory and op portune, and prepares the way nicely for the siege train, which will be here on the 31st, and then we shall not be long about emashing the place. Odin') sickly ; no other :news ; when there is you shall hear from ine." Another letter says : " Although so little has been effected, although .almost every day bring account; of fresh insurr,c ti!m, the fashion among offieial men is to say tha: the mutiny is in a state of ci llap3e. We acknox leige we can see no indications of it. Here and there the mutineers quarrel among themselves, and our v(ry latest report front Cawnpora is, that two regiments have offered to come over. But the whole of Behar is in a disorganised state, and in no part of the Upper PrJvinezts can British authority be said to exist beyond the roan!' of our guns. We therefore repeat that, however much these in9n may quarrel among themselve, a: Al however de sultory their efforts may be for want of a rec , gnised leader, b; yet their the county ir numbers are so great . , th . Lt it can nottill the arrival oflarge eiro this re_ spect we are beginning- t.) improve ; the last w4c rn ty ro lil io l I b it yru i n u q has brought us the Welsh Fu .flier:, a detachment of the R3yal Artillery, and the 93d Highlander, , , the last of the China expedition. The troops direct from England will only begin to drop in next month, so that Lord Eilenborough will be found right, when he asserted that they could hardly tako the field before January." ALLAHABAD. The following is from Allahabad : " September 9. A friend has just came in, and reported that five regiments of infantry, and two of cavalry had ar rived from the westward, and taken position at a place called Monza Aounta, about 20 miles from us. The Telaseeldar of Saroun, a place ten miles hence, across the Gangel, with his Arn many of them wounded, came in this morn ing from their district. The Tehseeldar of Karee, 16 miles across the Jumna,•has come in with Abe treasures in his charge. Al‘Go wan, the post master, has sent me for perusal a report from Rho wauee Deen of Sonagee district, about 30 miles to the westward across the Jurnua, Surburokar, in which he states the treasure sent to Rewah has been returned ; a large party of mutineers had left Kheeree (36 miles from us) for Kuttra, where the Rewah troops under Hiude met, engaged, and were worsted by the mutineers, who after dispersing the Rewah troops, were advancing on Rewah ! This is a serious matter, a'id we pause for confirmation or contradiction of the report. After sending 1,300 men with General Outram to reinforce General Haveloclr, we have but 170 in our garrison, of whom one-half are in hospital ! The Koladyne left three days ago to bring up Captain Peel's marines, who, if not stopped at Mirzapore, may be expected in a week from this. This mismanagement prevailing up here is most scandalous and the manner in which officials, who, by repeated acts of folly, have proclaimed them selves utterly unworthy of trust, is disgraceful. " SEPT. 8. "General Outram was here last week and in sisted on reducing the garrison to the lowest possible limit that he might take as many as possible with him, —I say well done he ; but all the military authorities look - very grave 'About sit, but be has borne down all opposition and carried his point. We have now about 150 in the fort, including con valescents from Cawnpore, and hard work it is no doubt for them ; but are we to sit here at our ease and in safety, and see Outram unable to get to Luck now for want of a few men'? On Monday night we all turned out to see Major Eyre's battery go up the road to the camp, which they had formed in the station, then the 90th passed up. At 1 o'clock:on the night of the sth they bad been in the camp two or three days, and Major Eyre's battery marched out ; a few of the 64th and 84th, who had been left here, also went with them. The next night, as we were sitting after dinner, we heard the usual 9 o'clock gun, and directly after drums and . fifes began. Out we all hurried, and away we went towards the ruined cutcheries, about half a mile off ; we got there just in time to come across the band of the 90th, who were leading the way. Then came Gene ral Outram and his staff on horseback, and then the 90th. We marched on with them about half a mile through a large village, the in habitants of which turned out in great asto nishment at the sound of the band. The band stopped, and we turned back, wishing them good luck ; but I hear that they passed the railway station, and the part of the town close by with the band playing and all the men sing ing on Sunday morning. 80 men of the 78th arrived from Benares, and want off again the same night in bullock carts, intending to make a double march and overtake the 90th. Altogether they must have a force of 1,500 or 1,600 men (in cluding Artillerymen) and six guns. These, with those they will meet at Cawnpore, will, I trust, be enough .to thin the Lucknow road, but it will bs hard work ; every village there is forti fied, and as we have no Cavalry, we cannot cut up the enemy when dispersed. They called again at the next village. General Havelock, I believe, intencl4 crossing to-day, so that there will be no delay. On Sunday, by-the-by, just as even ing service in Mr. Currie's houao was finished, there arrived a telegraph from General Neill. News from Lucknow to Sept. 2, of Balyguard (the rtsi dency) all right. The enemy's two heavy guns disabled ; they neither fire nor move them. I must tell you that General Outram sent on to General Havelock, saying he would not interfere with the honour of relieving Lucknow, for which lie Las fought so wet, but will go as Commissioner of Oude, not as a General, but as a volunteer. Our now Lieutenant-Governor is laid up with ear-ache at Beriares, and sees nebody. " General Outram and Suite arrived the night before last ; the steamer conveying them left yes terday at 12 for Calcutta. Zhe James Hume just in. Latest news from Lucknow is cheering. The besieged think their provisions will last until relieved. Outram marches either to-day or to morrow with 1,500 men ; they hope to reach Lucknow on or about the 22d current. News from Cawnpore is that that the rebels are en trenching themselves on the other side of the river. Anent the Dinapere mutineers (I humbly b2g pardon, Lloyd's own Loyals), we hear that some of their party crossed at Rajapuor, then suddenly changed their plans, recrossed, and in the most ap proved fashion of the times looted Rajapoor and then marched into Serropan, whether to take an in ventory of the household effects, goods, chattels, and bijouteri6' of the Raos, ala mode de Nag pore,' with a view to annexation' (this I believe to be the polite expression in the political circle of Messrs. Beadon and Co.), or to enter into a treaty offensive or defensive, we can't yet say. "I have just received a letter from Agra, via Cawnpore. The following is an extract :—` I wrote to you some time ago by the regular dak, but I sup pose my letter in that way, via Bombay and Mir zapore, will not reach yon under a month. Mr. Hume, the magistrate of Etawah, told me that be daily despatches a kossid to Cawnpore, and has vefy kindly offered to send a note of mine that way. We have no particulars of what has really occurred at Allahabad and Bewares. A. party of ours, 130 men of the 3d Europeans. about 20 of the Militia Cavalry, and 3 guns, left us on Friday last, under command of Major Montgomery, for the purpose of giving confidence to the well-affected in the neigh bourhood of Hattrass and Allyghur. They reached Hattrass without any opposition. Yesterday morn ing we received intelligence that they bad proceeded on towards Allyghur, and this moment a letter has just come in from them reporting a brush with a strong body near Allyghus—a meat brilliant affair we aro told. The enemy, numbering a.bout4,ooo s twine, were encamped in Mann Singh's garden, about three miles on the Agra side of Allyghur. When they heard of the advance of our little party they came out and rushed upon them like fanatics, thinking, no doubt, to destroy the whole body ; they, however, made a glorious mistake. The little party ware not to be destroyed so easily ; they opposed and fought like true English bull dog?, gained the victory, and dispersel them. The enemy left 400 dead on the field, and on our side killed poor Tandy, of the North-West Bank, and Ensign Marsh, proceeding up country to join his regiment, and three Europeans, and woun lcd Dr. Clarke, Gwalior Contingent (not seriously), and five men of the 3d Europeans. Our party have returned to Hattrass, where they now are in the Fort. Their orders were not to go into Ally ghur, consequently they returned to Hattrass. In other respects we are all quiet here, anxiously wait ing to know what the large body of mutiniedtroops at Gwalior are going to do, and more anxiously looking to be rtlieved from the prison in which we are now located. You must know that all our residences have been destroyed, so I need not repeat it here. " All is quiet at Rewah and .Na,gode. I hear that Captain Jackson, with a strong body of the Rajah of Rewah's tropps and two gum, is occupy ing the SAaghe3 p. s. liumedia,tely I hear any thing of interca I shall write again." CAWNPORE AND LUCItNOW. FROII TIIE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR TO TIIE GOVERNOR-GENERAL. Benares, Sept, 13. A. letter from General Oatrain, date(' Kuir€ ern, 11th SepteMber, states a I have j us t rece i ve d note from Cawripore of this elate, from which I ex tract the following We had very goo Ll. news 2S, 1.8574-, from Lucknow yesterday, a fierce cannonade at gun-fire, and towards noon the enemy exploded a mine ; but bysome mischance it went off just under the feet of those advancing to attack, killing, it is said, nearly 400. The garrison then made a sortie, which utterly completed their discomfiture.' " The following is an extract of a letter written by a cavalry officer at Cawnpore, dated Sept. 3 : " The news we have from Lucknow is very good : we have often communication with them. A man came in yesterday. They are all as jolly as they can be, under the circumstances ; they appear to have plenty to eat, though no luxuries. Fighting goes on daily, of course, but there is no chance of a further assault, as the niggers got such a lesson last time. I hope we shall relievethem before the 25th, certainly. We have now, I should think, 1,500 Europeans. The cavalry only numbers 80, but is to be made up to 100. We have a battery of horse and one of foot artillery, and six 24-pounders drawn by elephants, besides some mortars ; and when th e 90th and sth join us, as they will about the 12th or 15th, we shall be able to give the blackguards some thing they do not expect. I feel, and indeed we all feel, very hopeful of Lucknow. The people are gradually turning towards us ; they begin to see it is only a Mahomedan affair, which would not suit them. A Mr. and Mrs. Probyn and two children came in two days ago from Fut tegliur, and also a Mr. Edmonstoue ; they have been staying with a man in Oude, by name Hur dur Bux, who brought them in himself, and is ready to join us whenever we make a movement into Rohilcund. He says that nearly all the Hindoos will join us willingly when they see us advancing." A letter from Havelock's camp states that " two of the mutineer regiments have sent in to the gene ral, offering to lay down their arms if their lives were spared. The reply was that no overtures from any rebels could be entertained ; but that if they gave ocular demonstration of their sincerity, that is by fighting their brother mutineers, their case would be taken into consideration. One of these repentant regiments is supposed to be the 22d N. 1., 110 generously offered to assist their officers from the Government treasury at Fyzabad, and who it will be remembered spared their officers. The Ghoorkhas being on one side, and the Europeans on the other, with the King and Ally Nucky Khan not coming up as promised and fully expected long ere this, they appear to have taken a sudden fit of loyalty again, as they now find that their visions of double pay and 200 bighas of land in Oude pro mised to each Sepoy, has been merely figurative ; attempting to grasp these, they have lost the Com pany's regular pay and batta. The following was an intercepted letter to the Barrackpore Brigade, and more particularly addressed to one regiment there :---‘ Oh ! ye warriors greeting ! We expected great things from you; you have, however, deceived us. We considered you as the nose of the army ; but you gave up your arms without fighting. However, it is not too late to retrieve your characters. It is true you have no arms ; but hasten up, and Ram will give you arms. You will each Sepoy eet 12 rupees per month 2 • and 200 bighas of land. The King of Delhi has ordained that no more cows shall be killed in the land. Should any one inter cept this messenger, curses will be upon his head ; if a Mahomedan, he will eat pig, if a Hindoo he will eat cow. The King of Delhi sends salaams, and says the enemy outside the walls number ten thousand ; after we have conquered them, we will come to Calcutta, to try if the Feringhees can fight.' " The messenger was, however, seized by an officer of the 70th Native Infantry, and was hanged ; no doubt heavy curses are on the Ferin ghee's head—what is he to eat ; for he has, I sup pose, no objection either to pig or cow." GEN. HAVELOCK'S PROCLAMATION. The Friend of India states from Cawnpore, " that General Havelock has issued a proclamation which the Government would do well to follow. All rebels from Oude who are in custody with their wives and children are to be kept as hostages, to secure against a repetition at Lucknow and else where of the atrocities committed at Cawnpore and Jbansi. Capt. Bruce, who is the superintendent of police, went to search the house of a Nuwab, one of Nana Sahib's followers, for papers and other matters. The Nuwab is now before Lucknow, and commands a troop of the insurgents. In examin ing the apartments, after seizing all the document 4, he discovered that the Nuwab had left his female relatives behind. This fact coming to the ears of General Neill, a guard was at once placed over them, and it was hinted to the ladies that they would be alone protected so long as any English women or children who might fall into the hands of the Oude rebels should be uninjured. It is be lieved that this intimation will be conveyed to the Nuwab and his son and they may thus be induced to spare any unfortunates who may happen to fall into their hands, and probably induce the Nana to act after the same way. Any threatening of this sort is perfectly justifiable, and is even dictated by mercy. Nana Sahib himself ,never preserves a European female alive, but he is outdone by the Nuwab of Futteghur. On the 2d of July this man blew away from guns one gentleman and three ladies. Their names were Mr. and Mrs. Birch, Mrs. Beckford, and Mrs. Defontaine. After the mutiny at Futteghur they had succeeded in escap ing into the country, and had only just been dis covered. Besides, he has offered for the capture of every European a reward of 50 rupees. - And yet we are told that no man is to be summarily dealt with unless it can be proved that he has been actually present at a murder. The whole of the Futteghur district is stained with the most atrocious crimes, and they are shared and partici pated in by the lowest as well as bythe Nuwab and his minister Hidaet Ally and •still by the recent order in Council no villages are to be burnt. The Nuwab of Furruckabad, it is believed, has some European females alive, but in such captivity that we suppose even death would be preferable. The rebel force before Lucknow at this time consists of about 3,000 Sepoys and 1,000 matchlock men. The above include Major Holme's Irregulars, who have joined, and find plunder and murder much more congenial occupations than preserving districts from the like. The rebels sent a short time since for 1,000 Gazee fanatics to lead the storm ; but they were repulsed with such great and terrible slaughter that they say they will never attack again, even if Lucknow be not taken for two years. The enemy's guns are however still playing upon the works of the besieged, and it is reported that they even throw in har-d-grenades, but it is not credible." ASSAM. The following is from Assam, dated September lOtth :—" The fearful rebellion has cast it.; dark shadow over our hitherto peaceful valley, although as yet we are spared its dread reality. The first intelligence that a conspiracy had been discovered in Upper Assam came upon us like a thunder clap, and immediate and energetic measures were judiciously adopted at all the statims, and tip crisis, we now trust, has passed. General Hannay has entrenched himself with his Goorkha3 at Debrooghur, and sent off his Hindoostanee S-pot's to Jerhat, where there are no European residents. Actual mutiny has not broken out at any station, but all feel that they are on a volcano. All is out wardly quiet just now, and everyone tries to feel secure, although great alarm actually exists, for there is not a European soldier in the province. It is said thatKooer Singh is the instigator of the plot discovered here. " The ladies have left Nowgong for Gowhatty. There a volunteer force has been formed, consisting of the residents and some few natives in high position. We are hoping a steamer may soon be up, and that things may be kept so till then, but our position is certainly very shaky. " It is said that the Rajah of Assam has been de ported from Upper Assam to the large jail in Central Assim." GYA. The following is from Gya, dated 12th Sept. : " My last note will have informed you that the sth Irregulars, after leaving Hupooali, had advanced towards W uze e r gunge, which is 12 miles to the east of this. On last Sunday morning intelligence was brought to the authorities here that they were ap proaching the town, and were only six miles from it ; and that at some hour during that clay they would be at Gya. Although this news frightened the town people very much, the troops were rather rejoiced at it, and they wore quite prepared to give the enemy a warm reception. At noon, the Sowers, who were ' sent to watch the movements of the enemy, returned with the news that they had taken the Futteli pore road, which runs parallel to the road which goes from here to Bodh Gya. Mr. Money immediately ordered out the troops for marching against the enemy ; and by 2 o'clock p.m. about 150 Sikhs and 37 Europeans of her Majesty's 84th Regiment left this for Bodh Gya, to prevent the enemy from cross ing the Fulgo at that point. " On Tuesday, at 4 o'clock in the morning, Mr. Money and the troops with him left Bodh Gya for Etwa, which is 5 miles to the east of it, and where the enemy had encamped. The enemy made no re sistance to our troops crossing the Fulgo at that point. When the sth Irregulars, who had encam: ed under a tope, saw the Company lk.hadoor's troops coming to attack them, they were oh lilted to come out to face t hem if possible. i h Europeans aLghtPcl from the elephants, and with the Sikhs formed themselves into a square. Though the enemy, 600 strong, had taken a very advantage ous position, they could hardly stand before the heavy fire now opened on them by men commanded by Major Rattray and Lieutenant Whitlock. They retreated, and our soldiers succeeded in taking away some horses and children from them. A party of about 100 Sowars, was sent to rescue these valuables from our men, and had our Sowars, who were 16 or 20, only continued firm, and fired at the enemy as they were commanded to do, the booty would not have been lost. Our troops began to charge a second time on the enemy ; but after a little skirmish, the mutineers retreated, and dis persed themselves in different directions. From the beginning, it appeared that they were not inclined to fight, and that, by necessity they were compelled to face our troops. At about three o'clock, p.m., it was known here that the enemy had dispersed themselves, and that probably they would be at • Gya in the evening. We immediately prepared ourselves to go into the Bungalow which had been entrenched for such an emergency. By seven o'clock, p.m., we were all right there, having now about forty-five to fifty Sikhs to hold it out against the mutineers. The whole of Shahahgunge was in uproar, and people were seen to flee into the in terior of Gya, the alleys and lanes of which the Gwals had so well barricaded. At about half-past 8 p. m. the mutineers were seen passing through the streets of Shahabgunge, soliciting the town p eo pl e not to fire at them, as ;hey did not come, they said, to do any harm to the ryots, but were only fighting out for their Deen. The large number of bud mashes who accompanied them, first took them towards the gaol t o l o t loose the prisoners. The Rajah. of Ticarry's men, who were placed with 11 Sikhs to do duty there, fled at the very mo ment they heard that the mutineers had come in, but the gallant Sikhs would not do it. They opened a heavy fire on the Sowers, but some rascally burkundazes told them that every Chris tian in the town was slaughtered by the. Sowers, and that they had better retreat and make their escape. This news disheartened the Sikhs very much. They left the jail with the word Sudo Guoru 'in their mouths. My infor mant tells me they would have killed a large number of the mutineers, if the wicked burkundazes had not frightened them. After having let loose the prisoners, and setting fire to the out-offices of the jail, the mutineers made their way for the en trenched bungalow, where we had taken shelter. Messrs. Trotter and Taylor had taken every precau tion to make the bungalow safe. Besides these gen lemen, there were in the bungalow Messrs. Butter, Brown, Wintle, and Wirsley ; and M r . D'S ouza and Baboo Tarini Churn Mater. The refugees had to keep up the whole night. The return of Mr. Money and the troops, by day dawn, made them easy. The Sowars the next morning were heard to have gone towards Ticarry, from the Ranee of which place they succeeded in extorting a large sum of money. On Tussday night, when the mutineers were going past the thanna, our Darogajee and the Moonsiff of Behar fired on them. One of the mu tineers shot by them fell from his horse, which I hear a ,Christian clerk afterwards secured. The Moonsiff was, however, shot dead." ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY'S 93D HIGHLANDERS. On Sunday afternoon her Majest'ys ship Belle isle, thronged with a detachment of troops, arrived off Garden Reach, where a party of ladies and gen tlemen, who were enjoying a day's pleasure in tho Botanical Gardens, saluted them with the waving of handkerchiefs and the usual demonstrations of welcome. On this the men on board, who swarmed like bees along the ship's side, set up a cheer, which appeared " to make the welkin ring again ;" this was several times repeated, and fol lowed by the martial sound of the Highland pibroch playing some of Scotland's national airs. Much to the disappointment of the men, they have not as yet been able to land, in consequence of the temporary accommodation for the number of troops daily expected from England, China, and else where ; but they have expressed a strong desire, we are told, to disembark as speedily, as possible, to be off without delay. " Up, and at them I" 11 their cry. DINAP ORE. A letter from Dinapore of the 17th instant, says : —" It is reported here, that the sth Irregular Ca valry are at Daudnugger, sixteen miles below the Grand Trunk Road; they have secured some boats, and are now crossing the Soane. By plunder they to o av b e e s accumulated hortof am nitulinrei ammunition." o la nD k .u p ;n s ina o mp f o : r u res, p e il :;b c i bi t rho a et r h e ie ; i s s ay fr s o t m hat i K na o Tt o .h e e: r — S fo i ‘ n lltel g o h w i, °n s rg e t nt boats to the Dinapore side of the Soane, which has enabled the sth Irregular Cavalry to cross the Shahabad or Arrah side • there appears to be some truth i n thi s , as the officials who had re turned from Buxarto Arrah, have gone back sharp to the latter place, accompanied by the 100 Sikhs they had in the latter place. If there was a suffi, cient force in this place, this marching and counter marching would not only be obviated, but keep the natives from passing remarks on our halting at every alarm. If Behar is not protected, all com munication by land and water will be cut off be tween Calcutta and the upper provinces. " The wing of the 17th Madras Native Infantry are still here. Report now states they are to remain here, and the wing, with head-quarters f rom Be nares, is to come to Allygunge." THE SANTHALS. The following is from Hazareebagh, dated 15th Sept. :—" A body of Santhals, about 200, collected at a place 10 miles from here, about a quarter of an hour before sundown ; the Ramghur Cavalry and some Sikhs commanded by Lieutenant J. M. Graham, went out to meet them. They were on a low hill, with a belt of low rice-fields between the sowars and them, and a jungle behind, and as soon as they saw the sowars they rushed to their arms, and commenced tom-tomming. Fearing that they would bolt, and there being no time to lose, as the sun was just going dOwn, Mr. Graham attempted to cross the swamp with the cavalry, baying the in fantry close at hand. His horse stuck in the mud, so he jumped off, and waded through to the oppo• site bank. The Sauthals now came on, to within about 50 or GO yards, and commenced shooting arrows. The men fired a volley, and their fire began to tell a little. They were within 20 yards of the enemy, and their leader, a stout gentleman, in a red pugree and waistcloth, with a long•two edged sword, favoured them with an extempora neous dance in front of his party. Mr. Graham fired at him with his revolver, and hit him high up in the left breast, and as soon as his followers saw. him stacrger, they gave ground, on which the Sikhs charged', and the affair was over in a minute. They got 11 dead bodies ; it was too dark to look for more. Five of our men were wounded, and three horses, two of the former and two of the latter se verely. The Santhals had pitched a tent and stand ard, and collected a large quantity of grain, all of which our men brought away with them." NAGODE. The following is from Nagode, dated 12th Sep' teinber :—" The rebels who passed up in this direc tion some ten days ago are, we hear, still at Banda; they consist of the 7th, Bth, and 80th Regiments (at least what Major Eyre's gallant little force left of them) are supposed to be waitingfortheparty which" ascended the Kutra Pass the other day, and which party, we are told, were so hard up for ammuni tion, that they kindly proposed taking Nagode en route to Delhi, in order to send the 50th t o bring their magazine and treasure, and all go together to Delhi ; a very nice arrangement ; but when the rebels had got within six miles of Rent], and the Rajah of that place had told the Political Agent, and the other officers there, to leave, as h e cou ld not protect them, and he himself had sent his zenana, and the towns-people and their women to a place of safety, they, i.e., the rebels, in the, to us, most mysterious manner, turned round &and went back again. The party 'is supposed to consist of the Rani" ghur battalion and Kooer Singh's rabble, and is re ported to be about 4,000 strong. They still, I be lieve, have a hankering for the Nagode magazine and six -pounders, and talk of coming this way. The night before last, a.native went up to a native offi cer of the 50th regiment, and said that the Shahgur Rajah would be much obliged if he would bring the regiment to help him to fight the Punnali Rajah (our ally). The native officer put him in confinement, and the next morning he was told that he would be strung up. He did not tell alike knew; he said that there were two other men with him, and that they had the paper for the regiment to sign ; these two men are not to be found, they having run away directly they thought the place was getting too hot for them. I believe the Shahgur man offered 15 re. a month to the sepoys, and all sorts of chances to any otle. "Elsewhere will be found the Governor-General ,3 orders on the demise of Mr. John Colvin and Sir Henry Lawrence. '1 he latter is rather late in the day, and one expressive paragraph bears the evi dent marks of correction atter writing. All India has rung with praise s o f Si r Henry, and this mark of the esteem in which he was held by the Govern' meat he so nobly served will not be without valu e to his family and friends. We hope the Govern will follow it up by giving their support to th e institution whi c h b ears his name.' . We hav e received the following item of intern' gence from Government, together with the a n ' hexed copy of a despatch from Major Eyre :---- " AGRA.—The latest authentic news from the Cliumbul, up to Sept. 8, is—that th e river has rim, and that the main body of the mutiuous
