A Supplement to the Fort St. George Gazette of the 17th July publishes the following address to Lord Harris, Governor of Fort St. George, from the Hindoo and Mahomedan inhabitants of Madras. Some hundred signatures are affixed to it : "To the Right Hon. Lord Harris, Governor of rt Saint George. " My Lord,—We the Hindoo and Mahomedan inhabitants of Madras, beg to address your lordship in Council at the present critical juncture of affairs in Bengal and the North West, where the Bengal Army has added to the guilt of mutiny and rebellion the unprovoked and indiscriminate murder of many of their officers, and, still worse, of a great number of defenceless European women and children • we want words strong enough to convey the feelings which are inspired by the frightful atrocities that have been committed. Their crimes admit of no palliation, misguided though they may have been throughthe secret misrepresentations of evil-minded men ; but we have the fullest confidence that the alarm occasioned among the Bengal soldiery by the ',introduction of the new cartridges originated solely in a delusion so far as the intentions of Go vernment are concerned, and that neither an in fringement of the laws of caste, nor an outrage to religious feelings had ever for one moment been contemplated, and we earnestly trust that the might of the British Government will be put forth, until all who eitheractively took port in or abetted the unheard-of barbarities of the revolted troops have been subjected to the condign punishment of the State. " While we thus assure your lordship in Council of our loyalty towards, and deep sympathy with, the British Government, and with the relatives and friends of all who have fallen victims to those bloodthirsty and misguided men, we would crave leave to congratulate your lordship on the unshaken fidelity of the army of Madras and the perfect tran quility that reigns throughout this Presidency. We rejoice to think, also, that the same state of affairs exists in the neighbouring Presidency of Bombay. " In conclusion, we beg to express our entire cmn viction that the overthrow of the British power in India would be the greatest calamity that could fall upon the natives and while we regard with pride the loyal servics of the various native princes and chiefs in alliance with the British Government, and the alacrity with which they have assisted to crush re bellion, we beg to assure your lordship in Council that you may unhesitatingly rely on the allegiance of the natives of this Presidency, and we shall make it our special business to spread the knowlelge of this declaration of our sentiments as widely' as pos. sible, and to discourage, to the best of our ability, all the groundless and mischievous rumours which from time to time gain currency, either through the fears of timorous and ignorant individuals, or the malicious designs of wicked men, who make it their object to go about and seek means to promulgate discontent and strife. " We beg leave to subscribe ourselves, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient humble servants. " Madras, July 2, 1857.” SEALKOTE. The followin g is an extract of a letter f ro m D r . J. H. Butler, 9th Light Cavalry, dated Fort at Seal kote, 7th ,Of July : " From my last letter you will be but little pre pared to bear of an outbreak at Sealkote. We had hoped that all was right with our brigade. But, alas ! on the night of the Bth of July they laid their plans to rise in mutiny on the following morning, 9th. At a quarter past 4a. m. I was called up to see the Sowars, who were in open mutiny, riding about the cantonments shooting all they could of the male sex having an European garb. No intimation from any of the authorities was given us, but we bad pre viously arranged (we were living with another party, Mr. and Mrs. Sanders) to have our carriages in readiness in case of an outbreak, and a few things in carpetbags to take with us ; this was all done, and we were about to start when D r . G ra h am , the su perintendent-Surgeon, who bad gone before with his daughter, was shot at and died almost immedi , ately on his daughter's knee, the buggy was turned round and she came into our compound enclosure, saying the cavalry troopers had possession of the roads, and there was no possibility o f ge tti ng to wards the fort. This would not have been the case had the civil horse not fraternised with the cavalry, for they looked on and did nothing. Almost imme diately a cavalry trooper, with his carbine pointed, ' came into the compound and cleared it of our ser vants and carriages, and brought up the Sepuys of the 46th _Native Infantry to surround the house and inavaere us. We are now a party of 16, 14 Europeans and two natives (female servants). We bolted and barred the doors, and silently awaited the approach of the murderers. Of the 14 Euro peans three only wore men, all congregated in the drawing-room, whence the ladies retreated to the bathing-rooms, and then into a small lumber room (in a private part of the house, to which is attached a side door) ; in this room there were fortunately two small windows, one open, and in the door some grating, which afforded ventilation. " The party of Sepoys brought to the house by the sound of the bugle were now within the house, and had followed us to the bathiug room, but at seeing my pistol presented retreated. Ihis enabled U 9 t) make good our retreat to the lumber room, into which we got and fastened the door with a strong bar of wood. No sooner had we done this this than one of the villains came and fired into the room ; he was fired at by one of the party, but missed ; they then began to plunder after firing promiscuously into every room they came to, with the hope of killing every one in the house. We were for nearly six hours kept in a terrible state of suspense and alarm, expecting everymoment would be our last. At 11_ a.m. the chowkerdar, or watch man, came and brought us some water, and said our only security was in keeping quiet, that the house was being plundered. The yells were fright ful. We heard the Sewars from time to time riding about the compound anxious to get hold of us, but the chowkerdar told them we were gone. " When the mutineers blew up the magazine we thought they were blowing up the side of our biding-place, to induce us to come out to massacre us. One thief tried to break in our door, and looked in at the grating; I took a steady aim and shot him dead ; this saved us from further molesta tion from the plunderers, deterring others from ap proaching our hiding-place. The watchman came again at two o'clock, and told us the troops were going away, and that in the evening it would be safe to make our way to the fort, a distance of a mile and a quarter. We were reported killed, and received the hearty congratulations of our friends. At one time, thinking there was no hope, we made over our youngest boy, an infant at the breast to the native nurse, and she promised toscreen him. She took him out under the charge of the watch man, but was unable to leave the compound till we ourselves left. She did not come to the fort that night, bet I sent for her the next day, and she brought our babe in safety, We are anxiously look ing for assistance from home. Public news you will seen iu the papers. We have been plundered of everything ; property of every description lost— houses, carriages, furniture, and wearing apparel." diately threw the whole regiment into commotion, arid, when the bugle at noon sounded for the men to go and cook, the grenadiers and first company refused to leave the lines, and it was with difficulty they were prevented seizing their arms. The good men of the regiment interposed and prevented them going to the bells of arms. The Subadar Major, a man of great influence with the men, ran to the colonel's to report what was going on, and suggested that two or three men from each company should be allowed leave to scour the country and satisfy themselves that no force was approaching. The colonel consented, and some men started at once. All reasoning was thrown away upon the men ; nothing would convince them that there was no force coming. Since the scouts returned reporting no troops were coming we have had comparative quiet, but these men are such children in their ideas that we cannot calculate what an hour may bring forth. This mi tiny,f or; t can be called b y no other term, was the more to be regretted, as the men the same day had shown a good spirit under circumstances which might, if mutinous intentions existed, at once have brought things to a crisis. The adju tant was inspecting the men for duty ; a man he had passed a pace or two suddenly rushed upon him with the cry of Death to the Feringhees,' and accompanied his cry with a downwards thrust of his bayonet. The bayonet passed down the sleeve of the adjutant's jacket, and grazed his arm and side. A sudden turn forced the bayonet from the musket, and the old Subadar Major tried to seize the Sepoy, but he was thrown down ; the man, however, was soon captured, though he laid about him with the butt end of his musket like a fiend. He has been twice tre ited for madness, so, if not mad, it is politic to say he was on this occa sion. He has been sent off to Benares under an escort. The man said he expected to have been backed by others who had put him up to act as he did. I suppose his expected backers saw they would meet with no sympathy, and were not suf ficiently numerous of themselves to get up a mutiny. There are a great number of good men in this 52d Regiment, and we must hope that they have sufficient interest to keep the -bad men in order. As a number of ladies and children have left the station I have been repeatedly urged by folks at Kamptee to send Mrs. - and the little ones there ; but the wife has determined to remain to the last. Once I said she must go ; but, when I found she was more likely-to die if she went than if she stayed, I changed my mind, and now, from the state of affairs at Kamptee, I really think we are as safe here as we should be there. We have sent some things and a tent out on the road to Seonee, so that we may not be quite destitute if we contrive to escape. On Sunday we heard of the march of a force from Kamptee to Seonee. This had to be told at once to the Sepoys here, for they had said they would murder us all if any Europeans were sent here. Again the men were told they might send some of their number to see that the force had no intention of moving beyond Seonee. Good heavens, that it should have come to Bush a playing at sold;ers as this 1 But what can we do but temporize ? We are entirely at the mercy of a powerful body of armed men. No place of refuge or rendezvous to fly to in case of revolt ; each must seek safety as best be may. The only arrangement we can come to is that all have agreed to take the same road. Some ladies never take off their clothes at night, and all are prepared f or i mme di ate flight. Our carriage is drawn up at the door every night, and the horses kept harnessed ; but for all that we go to bed as in the most p eace f u l t i mes, and sleep soundly. It is no blind confidence that enables us to do so. I think it is quite bad enough to be killed without fretting oneself to death beforehand. I keep 10 or 12 of our servants sleeping near the car riage, and make one of them act as sentry while the others sleep in peace. [ get up occasionally to see that my sentry is on the alert. This is the more necessary now as Dr. W,'s house had a narrow escape of being set on firs four nights ago by soma villa, ns from the bazar. We have now a chain of oho ?I ke dars all round the cantonment." MASSACRE OF MISSIONARIES AT CAWNPORE. The following letters have been addressed to the editor of the Times : Sir,—You were kind enough at my request some weeks ago to insert a letter from the Principal of Bishop's College, Calcutt a , g i v i ng an account of the massacre of the chaplain and missionaries at Deli. I now send a second letter of the same mournful tenour with respect to the missionaries of Cawn pore. They, too, have perished in the indiscriminate slaughter of their countrymen and countrywomen. You will not fail to observe in the letter a passage which seems to add to the evidence that the recent deplorable mutiny in India is not so much the work of the Hindoo as the relentless and fanatical Ma hommedan. Should this prove to bs the case the Government will, it is to be hoped, know hov to distinguish the conspirator from his dupe. Many members of the society will see Dr. Kay's letter for the first time in your columns. I have at this season no opportunity of laying it before them in a formal way, but an already recorded resolution warrants me in saying that this second heavy blow, instead of disheartening the society, will have the effect of animating it to more and more zealous and sustained exertions for the furtherance of the Gos pel and all its healing influences in a land so long sunk in superstition, and now so deeply polluted by blood.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, ERNEST HAWKINS. 79, Pall-mall, Saturday, Sept. 5. "Bishop's College, Calcutta, July.2O. " Dear Mr. Secretary,—lt is once more my pain ful office to have to inform the society of the loss of two of their missionaries. Up to yesterday I con tinued to hope(though it was the barest possibility) that Messrs. Haycock and Cockey might have escaped or been made prisoners. General Have lock, who has retaken Cawnpore, has reported that none of those who capitulated—men, wom-n, or children—have been spared. "My last letter from Mr. Haycock was dated May 31. He had then taken refuge in cantonments. He mentioned to me that his maulvie had told him six months previously that they would 'soon feel the sharpness of the Mussulman's sword.' "The native Christians had dispersed in various directions previously to the last outbreak. "Thus it has pleased God to allow His heavy judgments to fall on those two cities (Delhi and Cawnpore), in e3pecial where the society had main tained missions. What should be done hereaf.er will be a matter for earnest thought, under the guidance of Him who has bid us sow beside all waters.' " Our departed (may I not say martyred 'I) bre thren were both men of patient, laborious, unosten tatious habits—not marked by any great intellec tual endowments, but well acquainted with the lan guage of the country, with revealed truth, and, I trust, with the power of religion. 0 May their death ba 'precious in God's sight." "I enclose copies of the proceedings of Bishop's College Council for the last two months. There is nothing of note in them. All our thoughts are for the present absorbed in the wonderful events which are passing around us. " I will not add anything about the possible in fluence this may all have on the position of the College. But for myself it makes me more indis.- posed, if possible, to relinquish a post so long occu pied by the Society's fitthful servants—although so little of overt, recordable fruit seems to hive been borne by it. ' Thou canst not tell which shall prosper—this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.' "Commending the College and the missions to your prayers, _ "I am, my dear Mr. Secretary, yonrs most truly, " W. KAY. The Rev. Ernest Hawkins, Secretary of the society fur the Propagation of the Gospel." joined the voluuieer corps of cavalry couipotied of officers, and was advancing with the army on Cawnpore.

We have to announce the death of Rear- Admiral J. W. Maurice, who expired at his residence at Plymouth on Friday last, aged eighty-two years, having been born Februaryllo, 1775. The venerable and gallant officer entered the navy in August, 1789, and in 1793 obtained the rank of midshipman, and while of that rank participated in Lord BridporL's action in 1795. After seeing further active service, be was transferred to the Royal George, 100, flag ship of Lord Bridport, who promoted him soon afterwards to the Glory, 18. Lieut. Maurice, in September, 1802, was appointed to the Bentaur, under Com modore Samuel Hood, in which he served at the capture of St. Lucie, Tob tgo, Demerara, and Ease quibo. At the head of a party of marines he did valuable service at Martinique, where he was wounded by the explosion of the magazine. He was, while there, given the command of a sloop in recognition of the Diamond Rock, and in 1805 sur rended to the French fleet after a brave and highly honourable resistan-e, which oh•ained the admira tion of the immortal Nelson. He commanded the seamen and marines at the island of Anholt, which he defended against the attack of 4,000 Danes in 1811, and which, at the time, rendered his name famous for defeating that strong force of the enemy, he and his men taking prisoners more in number than their own strength of garrison. He remained at the island until September, 1812, since which, the gallant officer has not been employed. His com missions bore date as follow :—Lieutenant, April 3, 1797 ; commander, May 7, 1805 ; captain, January 18, 1839; and rear admiral (retired), Oct. 1, 1846. He received the naval medal and two clasps, and was the recipient of an honorary reward from the Patriotic Fund. MILITIA.

The Durham Artillery, under Lieut.-Col. Sto bort, will assemble at Sunderland during this month for training; the regiment is said to be very efficient. THE MAN THAT HAD EIGHTEEN WIVES. (From the Retrospective Journal) A very notorious investor, named Wm. Morrell, lived in th e re i gn of Charles H. His birth and parentage were obscure, and his first start in the world was as a journeyman shoemaker at Worcester. He afterwards went abroad, and when he returned to England he took up his residence at Swalcliffe, near Banbury, where he commenced business as a professor of chirurgery, and where, from the won derful tiles which he told of his travels, he was looked upon by the country people as a prodigy. Having received some notice from Captain Hum phrey Wickham, of Swalcliffe, he removed to Ban bury, where he resided many years, and main tained his wife and family respectably. Ab art the year 1674, however, his business, through neglect, decreased, and his wants put him to many shifts. At length, having secured the ser vices of a young countryman as a servant and accomplice, he quitted his home, and went first to Brailes fair, where, by personating a brother of Sir William Walters, he cheated a countryman out of a drove of cattle. He then met in tile fair a young village lass, a mason's daughter, who per mitted him to accompany her home, where her father, struck with his assumed name and quality, made the best provision for him. Morrell ten dered his hand to the maiden, and her parents, not on'y gave consent to this union, but borrowed all the money they eould for the occasion, and the marriage was solemnised. Morrell now metamor phosed himself into a dashing gentleman, and then went to Ludlow, where he obtained the affections of the daught 'r of a we filthy tradesman, and married her. He then went to Bristol and Bath in the character of a salesman, and, in the latter city, he obtained for a fourth wife the daughter of an inn keeper, who possessed considerable weath. His next appe trance was at Slough, where lie as sumed the character of a merchant, and soon formed an intimacy with a country gen+leman, who had a daughter t 3 whom he was able to give 5001. for a portion. Though in this case it is - -said he had " to cope with judgment in the fsther of the girl, wit and sense in the lady herself, and some ingenuity in her brother ; yet he overcame every difficulty, and the marriage was accomplished.' Immediately after the ceremony the whole pa , ty set off for London, but Morrell contrived to raise the the cry of " thieves" 01 the road, and galloped off with the property they had taken, in order, as he pretended to s ecure it f rom depredation. He was sought for in vain by the bride and her father, who returned to Slough, whilst he continued in London for some time pursuing the same sort of practices. Morrell's third, or Ludlow, wife cane to London in quiet of her deceiver, and accidentally met, at her inn at Holborn bridge, a motheely woman, who was just arrived from Oxfordsnire, and who turned out to be the first wife of this wretched impostor. The two thereupon agreed together, and means were adopted to capture Morrell, who they soon found was about to marry another w . fe. At this juncture the Binbury wife accidentally met her as her husband, and after some high words he succeeded in persuading her that li:s conduct was the result of his necessities ; and that now he had got gold he would be faithful to her. The Banbury wife was thus induced to disconcert the scheme which had been prepared With the Ludlow wife ; and sent for a,!l her goods up from B tii bury to London, where a house was furnished with them. However, she had not lived in it three days before an errand was contrived to take her from home ; and on her return at night, she found neither husband nor goods in the house, and was compelled to return to Banbury and live upon the alms of the parish. Soon after this, Morrell took the name of a brother of Sir Charles Bowyer, and at Welts mar ried a boarding-school miss, who had a portion of 1801., of which lie soon deprived her. At Kidder minster he married an innkeeper's daughter. He then - returned to London, courted a rich vintner's widow, by personating Sir Charles Bewye • himself, and obtained 2001. from her. After forging a bill for 700/, and obtaining the amount, he Went abroad as a volunteer in the service of the Duke of Mon mouth. After a long campaign in Flanders, ho re turned to London, and married a clergyaian's daughter witb a portion of 5001., by again pets in ' wing Sir Charles B ;wryer. His Lu-flow wife now discovered him and caused him to be placed in Wor cester gaol ; from which, at the charge of the Lon don clergyman whose daughter he had mtrrie.l, he was removed to Newgate. Six of his wives ap peared against him on his trial—he pleaded guilty to those six marriagee,besides twelve mm. - )re. After sentence he removed himself to the King's Bench, where he behaved so winningly to his keepers that he obtained some privileges which enabled him to effect his escape. About the year 1637 he made another atteu pt in his oldline, and under the name of Sir Ch .s. Bowyer succeeded in marryng th , sc':okinaid at the Castle Tavern, Fetter-lane. For this he was tried and con victed as an impo.eter, and was set in the pillory be fore the door of the Ca tae Tavern. In the latter end of Dec., 1691, being without money, lie repre sented himself to one Cullen, a baker in the Strand, as Captain Humphrey Wickham, of Swalcliffe, whose name, it seem', w known t o M rs. Cullen, and btained lodgings in their house, aud supply equal to all his wants. Bing taken ill here, he, on the 28th of December, mate a will in which, in the name of Humphrey Wickham, Eiq., ho bequeAtied large property at Swalcliffe and other neighbouring parishe', together with m iney in the bands of Ambrose Holbech, Esq., of Molliugton, and other smile to divers pretended relations, Mends, and servants; but the family of Callen were especially remein beret Morrell died on the the 3rd of January following. Cullen pro vided a coffin of ten pounds value, embalmers were paid, and a sump'unia funeral was prep ire 1. Cullen wrote to Mr. Wm. Wickham, of Garsington, in Oxfordshire, who had been named in the will as one of the executors, to whom the family nun eion at Swalcliffe was bequeathed ; and in answsr to the letter a gentleinau came up to L ndon from Oxford, to say that the Carist'an name of Mr Wickham, of Gaesineiton, was not William, which gave some alarm of au imposture. Cullen also despatched a messenger t Swalcliffe; foie in the meantime, two gen lemon had inspected the corpe, and pronounced that it was not the body Of Captain Wickham, but that of the man who had bee a formerly convicted of having six Wives. The !nes senger returned from Swalcliffe to Loudon on the 12th of January, having - hat an int 7 with. the real Captain Wickham, and, upen th's full proof of the impostere, the corpse was taken by a. watchinau, with a lantern, in a four shilling coffin, and was buriel in St. Clement's claire h 3 and.

All along the line at P r° ; rninent points flags were displayed, and the stati c /. were crowded by peopl e c h eer i ng t h e tra i n as i t pawed , The line runs th roug h a most b eaut i ful and fert il e s , trict. This branch will form part of a line to the e 3 t coast from the m a i n t run k, and thus b r i ng i t i nto dire% communication with London. The line has been 08 ,, , selected, and not w ith s t an di ng the h i lly nature of t he country, there is scarce l y a gradient equal to 1 i n lv and not a tunnel on the line. LAHORE. The following is written by an officer of the 81st : " Mean Meer, Lahore, July 14. "I returned lo our linesyasterday, being relieved by the left wing of the Ist Bombay Fusiliers, up wards of 300 strong, so we now have a large E..rJ pean force here. The Fusiliers came up from Kur rachee in steamers to Mooltan, and then marched on here. We sent 2 guns and 50 of the 81st to the bridge of boats in the Raves, at Lahore, to intercept the Sealkote mutineers in ca-e they should come that way. The 38th N. 1., after murdering all the European, at the place they were stationed marched into Delhi with the band at their head pla3ing Cheer, boys, cheer.' The heat of this place for the last few day.. has Leen fearful—the thermometer upwards of 100 in the house. I am obliged continu ally to put my head in a basin of water to co. - 4 it. Many officers with their families, from Sealkoto, are expected at Lahore daily. The number of wo men and chilriren here already are immense ; they all flock to Lahore as the only safe place, and now we hall shortly have Vie fugitives from Jhelum. We have just sent 100 men of the 81st to reinforce the garrison at Umrasir." JUBBULPURE.

Sir,—Having seen in the Times of this day a letter dated Sehore, July the 4th, describing events at Indore, and inculpating the Maharajh Hoik•sr, tho ruler of Indore, I beg to state there is every reason to believe this prince is and will ever remain true to the English cause. It is no doubt correct that the British Residency at Indore b en sicked by Holkar's mutinous soldiery and some lives lost, but an 'autograph letter from Holkar himself to Sir Robert Hamilton, t'ie British Resident at Indore (Absent in England on leave) came to hand by the list mail, describing the events at Indore, and expressing in most feel ing and eloquent terms his groat distress at the violence of his soldiers, and his determination to protect the English, and his wish for Sir Robert's retur❑ to Indore. Sir Robert having left for India by the last over land mail Holkar's letter was in his absence trans mitted to a member of the home Government. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, S. STEWARD, Agent to Sir Robert Hamilton, the B:i'ish Resident at Indore. 49, Lincoln's-inn-fields, Sept. 5. THE SURVIVOR FROM OAWNPORE.
