IC tea 92tittiolt SUN OFFICE, Seven, o'Clock. THE INDIAN MUTINIES. OFFICIAL DESPATCHES. A supplement to the London Gazette of Friday l a st, published this evening, contains a number of despatches from the military authorities in India. We select the following as being the latest and most interesting : Brigadier-General Havelock to the Deputy Adjutant- General of the Army. Camp, Fattehpore, July 12, 1857. Sir,—By telegrams and reports in various shapes, the Commander-in-Chief has been kept informed of the operations of Major Renaud, Ist Madras Fusiliers, on the Grand Trunk road, between the Ist and 11th inst., at the head of a force of 400 British and 420 native troops, with two pieces of cannon. He has everywhere pacificated the country, by punishing the ringleaders in mutiny and rebellion, wherever they have fallen into his bands, and earned, as I venture to think, the best thanks of his Excellency. But on the 10th inst. hie position became critical. Cawnpore bad suddenly fallen, by an act of treachery unequalled in our annals, save by one fatal event be yond the Indus ; and the rebel force, thus freed from occupation, had rapidly pushed down a force to the vicinity of this place, within five miles of which the Major would arrive on the morning of the 12th. He would thus be exposed to the attack of 3,500 rebels with 12 guns. No time was to be lost ; so on the 10th my column marched, under a frightful sun, 15 miles, to Syuee, and, resuming their coarse at 11 o'clock at night, joined Major Renaud on the road, by moonlight, and with him marched to Khaga, five miles from Futtehpore, soon after dawn, and took up a position. The beat was excessive, but there were now on a point 1,400 British bayonets, and eight guns, united to a small native force. Our information had been better than that of the enemy, for when Lieutenant-Colenel Tytler pushed a reconnaissance up to the town they evidently supposed they had only Major Renaud's gallant but small force in their front, for after firing on the Lieutenant-Colonel and his escort, they insolently pushed forward two guns and a force of Infantry and Cavalry, cannonaded our front, and threatened our tanks. I wished earnestly to give oar harassed soldiers rest, and so waited until this ebullition should expend itself, making no counter disposition, beyond posting 100 En field Riflemen (64th) in an advanced copse. But the enemy maintained his attack with the audacity which his first supposition had inspired, and my inertness fos tered. It would have injured the morals of my troops to permit them to be thus bearded, so I determined at once to bring on an action. Futtehpore constitutes a position of no small strength. The hard dry Grand Trunk Road subdivides it, and is the only means of convenient access, for the plains on both sides are covered at this season by heavy lodgments of water, to the depth of two, three, and four feet. It is surrounded by garden enclosures of great strength, with high walls, and has within it many houses of good ma sonry. In front of the swamp are hillocks, villages, and mangoe groves, which the enemy already occupied in force. I made my dispositions. The guns, now eight in number, were formed on and close to the chauseis, in the centre, under Captain Maude, Royal Artillery, pro tected and aided by 100 Enfield Riflemen of the 64th. The detachments of Infantry were, at the same moment, thrown into line of quarter-distance columns, at deploy ing distance, and thus advanced in support, covered at discretion by Enfield skirmishers. The small force of volunteers and Irregular Cavalry moved forward on the flanks, on harder ground. I might say that in ten minutes the action was de cided, for in that short space of time the spirit of the enemy was utterly destroyed ; the rifle fire, reaching them at an unexpected distance, filled them with dis may, and when Captain Maude was enabled to push his guns through flanking swamps to point-blank range, his surprisingly acenrate fire demolished their little remain ing confidence. In a moment three guns were aban doned to us on the chaussee, and the force advanced steadily, driving the enemy before it on every point. Major Renaud won a hillock on the right in good style, and struggled on through the inundation. The 78th, in extension, kept up his communication with the centre ; the 64th gave strength to the centre and left ; on the left the 84th and regiment of Ferozepore pressed back the enemy's right. As we moved forward the enemy's guns continued to fall into our hands, and then in succession they were driven by skirmishers and columns from the garden in closures, from a strong barricade on the road, from the town- mall, into and through, out of and bnrond, the town. They endeavoured to make a stand a mile in advance of it. My troops were in such a state of ex haustion that I almost despaired of driving them fur ther. At the same time, the mutineers of the 2d Light Cavalry made an effort to renew the combat by charg ing, with some success, our Irregular Horse, whose dis position throughout the fight wee, I regret to say, worse than doubtful. But again our guns and riflemen were, with great labour; pushed to the front. Their fire soon put the enemy to final and irretrievable flight, and my force took up its present position in triumph, and parked twelve captured guns. I must endeavour, in this hasty despatch, to do jus tice to those who led the troops to thi • easy victory : First on the list I must piece Major Renaud, whose exertions at the head of the advanced column I cannot sufficiAelly praise. His coolness and conduct in the action are equally entitled to my highest commende t'on. I hope it will be in the power of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief to bring speedily to the notice of his Royal Highness the General Centmanding-in-Chief the courage and skill of Captain Maude, Royal Artillery. I have seen some artil , ery fights in my time, but never beheld guns better served, or practice more effective, than that of my battery under this officer. Colonel Hamilton led his Highlanders well, and they followed him fell of spirit and devotion. I have every reason to be satisfied with the conduct in this combat of Major Stirling, at the head of the 84th; of Lieut. Ayrton, in command of the 84th detachment ; of Captain Brasyer, Regiment of Ferozrpore ; of C ipt. Barrow, leading the Volunteer Cavalry ; and Lieutenant Palliser, at the head of the Irregular Horse. I have next to speak of the Staff : Captain Beatson, Deputy Assistant Adjutant-General, has given me entire satisfaction in the performance of his ordinary duties, and I was much gratified by his boldness and activity in the fight. Lieut.-Colonel Tytler is indefatigable, and most intel ligent in a sphere of duty entirely new to him. Captain Mcßean'e commissariat arrangements:, chiefly with the advanced column, have hitherto been every way successful. My orders were conveyed in the field boldly, actively, and intelligently, by nay Aide-dr-camp, Lieu , . Havelock, 10th Foot, and the following officere ; Lieut. Morland, Ist Fusiliers ; Lieut. Moorsorn, her Majesty's 52,1 Light Infantry ; Captain Sheehy, her Majesty's 81st Regiment ; Captain Russell, Engineers ; and Captain Moßean. I enclose the list of casualties ; the lightest, I suppose, that ever accompaniird the annorincemezt of such a success. Twelve British soldiers have been struck down by the sun, and never rose again. Bat our fight was fought neither with musket nor bayonet and sabre, but with Enfield riles and cannon ; so we took no men. The enemy's fire scarcely reached us ; ours, for four boors, sl.4l3wed hi,n no repose. A return of captured enhance also accompanies this report. I have, dzc , H, HAVELOCK. The Deputy Adjutant-General of the Army, to the Secretary to the Government of India. Calcutta, July 31, 1857. Sir,—l have the honour, by desire of the CAilman der-in.Chief, to forward, for submission to the Right Honourable the Governor-General of India in C auncil, two tliopstehea received from Brigadier General 11. Havelock, C. 8,, commanding the moveable column, dated the 15th and 20th of July, giving an account of his engagements with the rebels under the Nena Sahib, at the bridge over the Pandoo Nuddee, at the recapture of Cawnpore from the same Quemoy. His Excellency considers that the greatest credit is due to the Brigadier General and to the brave troops under his command. They have marched 130 miles in eight days at the most trying season of the year, fought three obstinately contes'ed combat, in each of which the insurgents have been signally beaten, destroyed the stronghold of Nena Sahib, and captured 44 pieces of erdiauce, many of which are of large calibre. Cknaval Havelock has, on many occasions handled hi s f orce with the ability wh i c h m i g h t are ham expected from his well won reputation as a brave,skilful, and experienced soldier, and Sir Patrick Grant begs to recommend him, and the several officers be has specified in hi s despatcher, to the most favourable consid erat i on of L ordehip in Coun cil ; and his Excellency desi res further to draw especial attention to the glowing te rms i n whic l l oo k describes the excellent con d uct and galelnaen;arlyffunadvee; firs of the troops of all arms serving with him in the The return of the enclosure is requested.—l have, y L e , W. MAYHEW. e Brigadier-General l Hav aelloock the Arm to the Deputy- Adj utant 9nrf y. Camp, Pandoo Nuddee, July 15, 1857. Sir, —r have the satisfaction to acquaint you, for the information of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that the troops under my command have been twice suc cessfully engaged with the enemy to-day, and have cap tured tour guns. Whilst prosecuting my march towards Cawnpore, it became a matter of deep interest to, me to learn whether the fine bridge over the Pandoo ~. ddee had been l a de stroyed or not. Th e s t re am is no at this season ford able, and the d e l a y i n cross ing b other means, or at any other point, wou ld h ave b ee n ost damaging t 3 the objecti of the expedition. Intelligence meanwhile came is to the efrat that the village of Aeng was strongly occupied by the enernj, that he was entrenched ;wogs the road, and bad two Horse Artillery guns in position. I therefore reinforced the advanced guard, under Lieut.-Col. Tytler, by attaching to him, in addition to ' t he small body of Volunteer Cavalry, six guns of Cape. Mande's battery, and the detachment of her Majesty's 64th Foot. _ _ _ The enemy's entrenchments were not formidable, but the country being thickly wooded, he was enabled to maintain himself for some time against our fire, during which interval large bodies of cavalry advanced on both flanks, with the intention of capturing our baggage. These attacks were very persevering, and to defeat them, as I had only twenty horse, I was compelled to protect tl e flanks with the Infantry in second line, and by Artillery fire. It is gratifying to have to report that the enemy was unable to capture a single baggage animal or follower. The last attempt was defeated by the Baggage-Guards, whose fire was very effective. Soon, however, the Lieutenant-Colonel overcame all resistance, drove the enemy before him, and captured his Icannon. The road was strewed for miles with abandoned tents, ammunition, and other materials of war. He reports to me, in high terms of commenda tion, the conduct of the troops immediately under his command, of Captain Maude, commanding the battery, and of Lieutenant Havelock, 10th Foot, my aide-de camp, and Lieutenant Mooraom, 52d Light Infantry, whom I had placed at his disposal. The troops were halted for refreshment and short re pose, when authentic information was received that the bridge on the Pandoo stream was not destroyed, but defended by entrenchments and two guns of garrison calibre. Disposition had to be made to force the passage of the stream. Fortunately, the bridge was at a salient bend of the river in our direction. Captain Maude at once suggested to me his desire to envelope it with. his Artillery fire, by placing three guns on the road, and three on either flank. The whole of the Madras Fusi liers were extended as Enfield Riflemen, as being the most practised workmen in the force. They lined the banks of the stream and kept up a biting fire. The enemy opened an effective cannonade upon our column as they advanced along the road. They there fore deployed, and advanced with great steadiness in parade order in support of the guns and riflemen. Captain Maude's bullets soon produced an evident effect, and then the right wingof the Fusiliers, suddenly closing, threw themselves with rare gallantry upon the bridge, carried it, and captured both guns. These two affairs cost me 25 killed and wounded. Amongst the latter I regret to have to particularise Major Renaud, Ist Madras Fusiliers, to whose galiantry and intelligence I have been under great obligations. His left thigh was broken by a musket ball in the skirmish at Aeng, but I hope, from the fortitude with which he endures all suffering, a favourable result. I have, &c., H. HAVELOCK, Brigadier-General, Commanding Allahabad Moveable Column. Brigadier-General Havelock to the Deputy Adjutant- General of the Army. Cawnpore, July 20, 1857. Sir,—l have the pleasure to announce that the triumph of the Mahratta pretender Nene Sahib, adopted nephew of the late "Ex Peshwa Bajee Rao," has been of short duration. The treacherous proceedings by which he compassed the destruction of the force under the gallant Sr Hugh Wheeler have already been reported to the Commander-in-chief. I have now to announce the complete discomfiture of his force, under his personal command, and the capture of his cannon, followed by the re-occupation of this sta tion, which, since the 6th June, he has been devastating and desecrating by every form of cruelty and oppres sion. He filled up the measure of his iniquities on the 15th ; for, on hearing that the bridge at the Pandoo Nuddee was forced, he ordered the immediate massacre of the wires and children of our British soldiers still in his possession in this cantonment, which was carried out by his followers with every circumstance of barbarous malignity. My information was in every respect goad, and I ascertained that he had taken up a position at the village of Ahirwa, where the grand trunk road unites with that which leads direct to the military cantonment of Cawn pore. His entrenchmenta cut and rendered impassable boih roads, and his guns, seven in number, two light and five siege calibre, were disposed skiing his position, which consists of a series of villages. Behind these his infantry, consisting of mutinous troops, and his own armed ful lowers was disposed fur defence. It was evident that an attack in front would expose the British to a mur derous fire from his heavy guns sheltered in his en trenchment. I resolved, therefore, to manoeuvre to turn his left. My camp and baggage were accordingly kept tack, under proper escort, at the village of Maria raj poor, and I halted my troops there two or three hours in mango-groves to cook, and gain shelter from a burning sun. My column then moved off, right in front ; the Fusiliers led, followed by two guns ; then came the Highlandere, in rear of whom was the central battery of six guns under Captain Maude. The 64th and 84th had two guns more in their rear, and the regiment of Ferozepore closed the column. My troops, defiling at a steady pace, soon changed direction an d began to circle round the enemy's lett. They were shrouded for some time by clumps of mango ; but as soon as the enemy comprehended the object of their march, an evident sensation was created in his lines. He pushed forward on his left in large body of horse, and opened a fire of shot and shell from the whole of his guns. But he was evidently disconcerted by our advances a his flank, and anxious for his communication with Cawnpore. My troops continued their progress until his left was wholly opened to our attack, and then formed line and ad anced in direct echelon of regiments and batteries from the right. A wing of the Fuelliers again covered the advance extended as riflemen. The opportunity had arrived fur which I have long anxiously welted, of developing the prowess of the 78th Highlandere, Three guns of the enemy were strongly posted behind a lofty hamlet well intrenched. I directed this regiment to advance, and never have I witnessed conduct more admirable. They were led by Colonel Hamilton, and followed him with surprising steadiness and gallantry under a heavy fire. As they approached the village they cheer: d and charged with the bayonet, and pipes sounding the pibroach. Need I add that the enemy fled, the village was taken, and the guns captured. On the left Major Stirling with the 64th was equally successful against another village, and took three guns. The enemy's infantry appeared to be everywhere in full retreat, and I had ordered the fire to cease, when a reserve 24-pounder was opened on the Cewnpnre road hick caused considerable has to my force ; an 1, under cover of its fire, two large bodies of Cavalry at the oame iiding inro . ently over the plain, the Infantry once more rallied. The beatibg of the large drums and numerous mounted officers in front, announced the definitive struggle of the "Nana" for his usurped dominion. I had previously ordered my Volunteer Cavalry to adventure a charge on a more advanced party of the enemy's horse, and I have the satisfaction to rep( rt that they conducted themselves most creditably. Gal of their number, Mr. Carr, was killed in the charge. But the final crisis approached. My Artillery cattle, wearied by the length of the march, could not bring up the guns to my assistance ; and the let Madras Fusiliers, 64th, 84th, and 78th detachments, formed in line, were exposed to a heavy fire from tbe 24-pounder on the road. I was resolved this state of things should not last so calling up;n my men, who were lying down in line to leap on their feet, I directed amber steady advance. It was irresistible. The enemy sent round shot into our ranks until we were within 300 yards, and then peeved ,n grape with such precision and determination as I have seldom witnessed. Bat the 64th, led by Maj or S irling and my Aide-de-camp, who had paced himself in their front, were not to be denied. Their rear showed the ground strewed with wounded ; but on they steadily and silently came, tlsen with a c heer charged, and cap tured the unwieldy trophy of their valour. The enemy lost all heart, and after a hurried fire of musketry gave way in total rout. Four of my guns carne up and cierpkned their discomfiture by a k3avy cann no ade ; and as it grew dark, the r °fleas barracks of our Artillery were dimly descried in advance, and it was evident that Cawnpore was once more in our possession. The points of this victory I shall have afterwards to describe. The troops 'nod been 13 hours in their bivouac when a tremendous explosion shook the earth. "Nana Sahib " Ia fu 1 retreat to Bithoor, had blown up the Cawnpore Magazine. The first movements of the Marlette indicated a do teriniaation to defend himself desperately. Reports from the front assured ns that he had assembled 5,000 men, and placed 45 guns in position far the defence of hi: stronghold ; but his followers have since despaired, and I have taken possession of Bithoer without a shot. I was joined by the steamer " Barrumputoor " this morning, which is now in easy communication with me. I must reiterate my obligations to the officers corn :pending my detachments and hattsries, to Mej it Stephenson, Madras Fusiliers ; Colonel Hamilton, the leader of my Highlanders, who had his horse shot ; Major Stirling, 64eh, who is slightly wounded ; Captain Currie, 84th, severely, I fear, dangerously wounded (since dead) ; Captain Maude, Artillery ; Captain Dere ger, commanding the regiment of Ferozspore ; and Captain Barrow, euumanding my small body of horse. Lieut.-C donel Tytler's zeal and gallantry have been beyond all praise. It was my de-ire to have offered my thanks in like terms to Captain Beatson, Deputy-Assistant Adjutant- General ; but I can now only record my opinion over his grave. He was attacked by cholera on the morning of this fight, and though he did his duty throughout i., and bivouaceed with the troops, he sunk in three days under the violence of his disorder. Lieut. Moorsona, her Majesty's Light Infantry, assisted in carrying my orders, and displayed great courage and much in telligence. I have already mentioned the conduct of my Aide-de camp in front of the 64th throughout the fight; he was seen wherever danger was most pressing, and I beg spe cially to commend him to the l retection and favour of hie d nExcellencyanee ca pt ti t rh.ed _i have, tc Commander -in-chief.

Brigadier-General Havelock to the Deputy Adjutant- General. of the Army. Camp, Buseerut Gunge, July 29, 1857. (Extract). I moved forward from the strong position of Mon ghowar on the 19th instant, and soon became engaged with the enemy near the town of Unao. It is necessary to describe the enemy's position ; his right was protected by a swamp which could neither be forced nor turned ; his advance was drawn up in a gar den enclosure, which in this warlike distriot had pur posely or accidentally assumed the form of a bastion. The rest of his force was posted in and behind a village, the houses of which were loopholed. The passage be tween the village and the large town of Unao is narrow. The town itself extended three-quarters of a mile to our right. The flooded state of the country precluded the possibility of turning in this direction. The swamp shut us on the left. Thus an attack in front became un avoidable. It was commenced by the 78th Highlanders and let Fusiliers with two guns, and soon became exceedingly warm. The enemy were driven out of the bastioned en closure, but when our troops approached the village a destructive fire was opened upon them from the loopholed houses. It became necessary to bring up the 64th, under Colonel Wilson, K.H. Here some daring feats of bravery were performed. Private Patrick Cavanagh, 64th, was literally cat in pieces by the enemy, whilst setting an example of distinguished gallantry. Had he lived I should have deemed him worthy of the Victoria cross. It could never have glittered on a more gallant breast. Lieutenant Bogle, 78th Highlanders, in an attempt to penetrate into a house filled with desperate fanatics of the Mussulman faith was badly wounded. The village was set on fire. Still its defenders resisted obstinately. Finally, the guns were captured, and the whole force was enabled to debouch by the narrow passage between the village and the town of Unao, and formed in line. It found the enemy rallied and re-formed in great force. Infantry guns and cavalry were drawn up in line on the plain. They were attacked in direct echelon of detach• ments and batteries, their guns taken, and the Infantry and Horse put to flight. During the whole of the action a large detachment of the troops of Nena Sahib threatened our left flank. The troops halted three hours and then moved on towards Buseerut Gauge. It is a walled town with wet ditches. The gate is defended by a round tower, on and near which four pieces of cannon were mounted, the ad-' jacent building being loopholed and otherwise strength ened. In rear of the town is a broad and deep inunda tion, crossed by a narrow chauss6s and bridge. The guns pushed on i■ admirable order, supported by the Ist Fusiliers skirmishing, and the 78th Highlanders, and 64th Regiment in line. The enemy's cannonade was well sustained; neverthe less, our force continued to gain ground. The 64th were then directed to turn the town by our left, and penetrate between it and the swamp, thus cutting off the enemy from the chauss6s and bridge. The Fusiliers and the Highlanders precipitated themselves on the earthworks, broke through the entrenchment, and oap tured the town. The whsle of the guns of the sth Company of 7th Bat talion Artillery were taken by us, with nearly all its ammunition. It had come from Fyzabad and Lucknow. Toe ground on both sides of the road at Unao was so flooded that it was impossible for Cavalry to act. My Volunteer Horse were therefore reduced to inactivity, though mot anxious to engage. Tne loss of the enemy at Unao is estimated by Native report at 1,500 killed and wounded. It might in truth amount to 500. It was lighter at Busecrut Gunge, in consequence of the mistake already noticed. In these two combats 19 guns were captured from the enemy. I must praise the conduct of all my staff-officers. Lieut. Colonel Tytler, hardly able from indisposition to sit on his horse, set throughout the day an example of daring and activity ; Lieut. Havelock, Daputy-Assis tent Adjutant-General, had a horse shot under him ; Lieut. Seton, my Acting Aide-de-camp, was severely wounded. Major Stephenson, at the head of the Madras Fusiliers, showed throughout the day how the calmest forethought can be united with the utmost daring. I forward returns of killed and wounded, and of cap tured crdeance. Fort William, July 24, 1857. No. 940 of 1857.—The Right Hon. the Governor- Genera in Council is pleased to direct the publication of the following authentic report of the occurrences at tha Delhi magazine on the 11th of May last, when attacked by mutineers, and of the noble and cool soldiership of its gallant defenders, commanded by Lieut. G. D. Wil loughby, Commissary of Ordnance. The Governor-General in Council desires to offer his cordial thanks to Lieutenants Raynor and Forrast, and tho other survivors amongst the bravo men mentioned in this report, and to express the admiration with which he regards the daring and heroic conduct of Lieutenant G. D. Willoughby and the warrant and non-commia ,ioned officers by whom he was supported on that occa sion. Their names are Lieutenants Rayner and Forrest, Conductors Shaw, Buckley, Scuily, Sub-conductor Crow, Sergeants Eiwards and Stewart. The family of the late Conductor Scully, who so de votadly silent:iced hims JI f in the ex2losion of the maga• z:ce, will be liberally provided for, shoald it be ascer tained that they have survived him. From Lieut. G. Forrest, Assistant Commissary of Ord nance, to Colonel A. Abbott, C. 8., Inspector-General of Ordnance and Magazines, Fort-William. Meerut, May 27, 1357. Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information , of Government, and in the absence of my commanding I officer, Lieut. Willoughby, Artillery, supposed to be klled on his retreat from Delhi to this station, the fol lowing facts as regards tae capture of the Delhi Magazine by the mutineers and insurgents on the 11th inst. On the morning of that date, between 7 and 8 a.m., Sir Theophilus Metcalfe came to my house, and requested that I wool l accompany him to the magazine for the purpose of having two guns placed on the bridge, so as to prevent the mutineers from passing over. On our arrival ..t the magazine we found present Leuts. Willoughby and Raynor, with Conductors Buckley; Shaw, Scully, and Acting Sub-Conductor Craw, and Sergeants Edwards and Stewart, with the Native Establishment. On Sir Tneophilus Metcalfe alighting from his buggy, Lieut. Willoughby and I accompanied him to the small bastion on the river face, which commanded a full view of the nridge, from which w e could distinctly see the mutineers merching in open column headed by the cavalry ; arid the Delhi side of the bridge was already in the possession of a body of cavalry. • Oa Sir T. Metcalfe observing this he proceeded with Lieut. Willoughby to see if tau City Gate was closed against the mutineers. Ho r: ever, this step was needless, as the mutineers were admitted directly to the palace, through which they passed cheering. On Lieut. eVilioughby's return to the magazine, the gates of the magazine were closed and barricaded, and every passible arrangement that could be made was at once commenced on. Inside the gate leading to the Park were placed two 6-pounders, double charged with grape, one under Act ing Sob-Conductor Crow and Ser4ennt Stewart, with the lighted matches in their hands, and with orders that it any attempt was made to force that gate, both guns were to be fired at once, and they were to fall back on that part of the magazine in which Lieut. Willoughby and I were posted. The principal gate of the magazine was similarly defended by two guns, with the chevaux de fri.?ze laid down on the inside. For the further defence of this gate and the magazine in its vicinity, there were two 6-pounders so placed as either to corn.nand the gate and a small baetion in its vicinity. Within 60 yards of the gate and in front Of the office, and commanding two cross roads, were three 6-pounders and one 24-pounder howitzer, which could be so managed as to act upon any part of the magazine in that neighbourhood. After all these guns and howitzers had been placed in the several positions above named, they were loaded with double charges of grape. Tee next etep taken was to place arms in Vie hands of the Native Establishment, which they most relactently received, and appeared to be in a state ' r. of only of exeitetnent, but also of insubordination, as they refused to obey any orders issued by the Europeans, particularly the Muesulman portion of the establishment. A Ler the above arrangements had been made, a train was bid by Conductors Buckley, Seu ly, and Sergeant Stewart, ready to be fired by a precono arted signal, which was that of Conductor Buckley raising his hat from his head, on the order being given by Lieut. Willoughby. Toe train was fired by Conductor Scully, but not until such time as the het round from the howitzers had been fired. So soon as the above arrangements had been made, guards from the palace came and demanded the posses sion of the magazine in the name of the King of Delhi, to which no reply Was given. Immediately after this, the Subadar of the Guard on duty at the magazine informed Lieutenant Willoughby and me, that the King of Delhi had ELIA down word to the mutineers that he would without delay send scaling ladders from the palace for the purpose of scaling the walls, and which shortly after arrived. On the ladders eeing erected against the wall, the whole of oar Native Eetablishment deserted us by climbing up the sloped sheds en the inside of the magazine, and descending the ladder's on the outside, after which the enemy appeared in great number on the top of the walls, and on whom we kept up an incessant fire of grape, every round of which told well, as long as a single round remained. Previous to the natives deserting us they hid the priming pouches, and one man is particular, Kurreembuksh, a durwan, appeared to kelp up a constant communication with the enemy on the Matside, and keep them informed of our situation. Lieutenant Willoughby was so an• noyed at this man's conduct, that he gave me as order to sheet him, should he again approach the gate. Lieutenant Raynor, with the other Europeans, did everything that poseeibly could be done for the defence of the magazine, and where all have behaved so bravely it is almost impossible for nee to point out any particular individual. However, I am in duty bound to bring to the notice of Government the gallantry of Conductors Buckley and Scully on this trying occasion. Tne for mer, esti tad oaiy by thyself e loteded and fired in rapid suc cession the several guns above detailed, firing at hoot 4 rounds from each gun, and with the same (steadiness es if standing on parade, although the enemy were then some hundreds in number, and kept up a continual fire of musketry on us, within 40 or 50 yards. After firing the last round Conductor Buckley received a minket ball in his arm, above the elbow, which has since been extracted here. I, at the same time, was struck in the eft hand by two ueu,ket balls, which disabled me for the ime. It was at this critical metheat that Lieut. Wit• loeghby gave the order for firing the magazine, which %aii at once rove - acted to by Conductor Scully firing the ev, ral trains. Indeed, from the very commencement be e'. lured his gallantry by volunteering his services for blowing up the magazine, and remained true to his trust to the last moment. As soon as the explosion took place such as escaped from beneath the ruins, and none escaped unhurt, retreated through the sallyport on the river face. Lieut.Wilioughby and I succeeded in reach ing the Cashmere Gate. What became of the other par ties it is impassible for mo to say. Lieut. Raynor and Conductor Buckley have escaped to this station. Severe indlaposition prevented my sending in this report sooner. —I have, &c., G. FORREST, Lieut , Asst. Commy. of Ordnance. N.B.—After crossing- the river, on the night of the 11th,.1 observed the whole of the magazine to be on fire, so that I am in hopes that little of the property fell into the hands of the enemy.

August 4, 1857. 2, 15, p.m. Sir,—For submission to his Eacellency,the Commander in -Chief, I have the gratification of forwarding herewith two despatches just received from Major V. Eyre, artillery, commanding a field force formed at Buxar, detailing his operations and successful engagement with the mutineers, joined by Boor Sing and his followers near the town of Arrah on the 2d instant. A summary of intelligence received last night by private C M UM iIi t a E ry RLEDGE, Colonel, Secretary.—l have, &a , channels from Arrah, was . sent hence at 8 30, a.m., this day, to his Excellenc s y : a Commanding at Dinapolet Major Vincent Eyre to the Assistant Adjutant-General at Dinapore. Camp near Arrah, August 3, 1857. Sir,—l have much pleasure in reporting for the informa tion of Major-General Lloyd, commanding Dinapore Division, the safe arrival here of the field force under my command, and the relief of the party defending themselves at Arrab, with whom I have just opened a satisfactory communication, and have received your letter dated the 31st ultimo, from which I exceedingly regret to learn the severe loss sustained by the detachment co-operating with us on the Dinapore side, but I venture to affirm con fidently, that no such disaster would have been likely to occur, had that detachment advanced less precipitately, so as to have given full time for my force to approach direct from the opposite side, for the rebels would then have been hemmed in between the two opposing forces, and must have been utterly routed. My former letters of the 30th ult., and Ist inst., will, I hope, have informed you of my advance from Boxer on the evening of the first-named date ; we pushed on with all practical speed to Shawpore, distant 28 miles, where ru mours of the Dinapore disaster reached us. Hearing that the enemy designed to destroy the bridges en route, we again pushed on at 2 p.m., as far as Bullowtee, where we found the bridge just cut through. An hour's halt sufficed to repair it, which we employed also in burning the villages on either side, since we had caught their inhabitants in the act of destruction. Arriving at Goojerajgunge by night-fall, I was delighted to find the bridge entire, where we bivouacked for the night, and at day-break next morn ing resumed our march, but had only proceeded a mile beynokns. d force The Goojerajgu nge, when we discovered the enemy in possession of the woods to our front and which we had to roach the wood in greatfi a in road oa dby our front was bounded by inundated paddy-fields on either side. I halted to observe the best course to pursue, and Priding that the enemy were weakening their front to take us on both flanks, I boldly pushed forward, throwing out skirmishers in every direction. The Enfield rifles kept our foes at a distance, and we succeeded in forcing the wood, beyond which, as far as Beebeegunge, it lay across en open swamp, which greatly befriended us. Meanwhile, the baffled enemy were observed hurrying round to oppose ue at Beebeegunge, which is situated on the opposite side of a bridge, by which we had hoped to cross the river. There I again halted, to refresh the troops and to recon noitre. Finding the bridge had been destroyed, extensive earthen breastworks raised on the other side, flanking the bridge, and the mutinous regiments in force occupying the houses in the village, I determined on making a detour to the right as far as the railway earthworks, about a mile off. I masked this movement for a time by the fire of my guns, but no sooner did the enemy discover our purpose than they hurried with their entire strength to intercept us at a wood which it was necessary for us to pass ; a portion of them followed us up in the rear, and by the time we reached the wood we found quite as much on our hands as we could manage. They mustered sorsa 2,000 to 2,500 strong in Sepoys alone, besides Rajah Zoor Sing's irregularforces, of whom, however, we made little account. The Rajah was appa rently present in person, and for upwards of an hour we were compelled to act s o l e l y on th e d e fensive. The aep o y s , apparently emboldened by their recent success beyond Arrah, advanced to the assault with a vigour quite unex pected, and twice, with their bugles sounding first the " assembly," and then the " advance" and " double," made determined rustes on the guns, but were on both oc cmaaions repulsed with showers of grape. Meanwhile Capt. L'Estrange with the gallant sth was not idlo, as will bo soon by his own report hereto appended. Finding at length that the enemy grew emboldened by the superiority of their numbers, and the advantage of their positions, I de termined on trying the effect of a general charge of the In fantry, and sent Capt. the Hon. E. P. Hastings to Capt. L':Estrange with orders to that effect; promptly and gallantly he obeyed the order; the skirmishers on the right turned their fl t.nk ; the guns with grape and shrapnel drove in the cen tres ; and the troops advancing on all sides drove the enemy panic struck in all direction,. Thus our road was cleared ; all beyond the country was open, and we proceeded with out further interruption to within four miles of Arrah, when we were suddenly brought up by an irupissible river, and have since been employed in attempting to bridge it over. In this work the railway engineers, headed by Mr. Kelly, have rendered the most valuable aid; meanwhile roost of the rebels returned to Arrah, but precipitately left it during the night. Rajah Boor Sing accompanied them to save hi:family. Their loss is reported to have been severe. We hear that not a Sepoy now remains in Arrah, and thatthe mass have gone off towards Rhotas, or mattered themselves in various directions. - I have now to commend to the notice of the Major-Gene ral the gallant conduct of the officers and troops whom I have the honour to command on this occasion ; under cir ciunstances of great peril and difficulty they have exhibited those soldierly qualities which seldom fail to ensure suc cess. To Captains L'Es3snge and Scott of her Majesty's sth Fusiliers, my especial thanks aro due for the prompt and gallant way in which they seconded my efforts, more particularly in the final charge, which was executed 'against twenty times their number of brave and discip hued troops. Captain L' Estrange reports highly of Ensigns Oldileld, Lewis, and Mason. To Captain the Hon. E. P. Hastings, Staff-Officer of this force, much of the success of this expedition may be attributed; whether on the march, or in action with the enemy, he was everywhere to be found at the right time and in the right place to aid us with his energy in overcoming all difficulties ; of the others who especially distinguished themselves I feel bound to xiiake honourable mention of Messrs. Kelly, Barber, Bur roughs, Nicholl, and Hughes, of the Buxar Gentlemen Volunteers, who rendered excellent service under their gallant leader Lieutenant Jackson, 12th Native Infantry. Assistant Surgeon Eteson in charge of the Field Hospital, and Staff-Sergeant Melville of the Ist Company sth Bat talion of Artillery, also merit particular notice for their seal and energy on duty. My future movements must be guided in a great measure by the information I may receive from other quarters. ...Nleanwhile a good supply of amm un iti on i s urgen tly re quired for her m Ma , jc a s n t d y sgsrtahpeFufrsoilier2 n Fusiliers, to in the e. po e u x u t d a enrts and o fBO rounds per man, howitzer.

Near Arrah, August 3, 1857. have the honour to report that on the arrival of the detachment of the sth Fusiliers (160 men), under Ira- command at Mixer, on the 30th ultimo, I found that o services were required to co-operate with Major Eyre, 11.onga,l Artillery, to march on Arrah, where we understood th.at some 2,000 or 3,000 of the mutineers had assembled. On the following evening, our force, consisting of three gut-14154 men, with Captain Scott, Ensigns Lewis, Old 1i d, and Mason, all of the sth Fusiliers, under my corn.. en and, 12 Mounted Volunteers of theßailway and Engineer D spartment, the whole under the command of Major Eyre, Buxar en route for Arrah. We came on the enemy on the morning of the 2d inst. ; we , found that they had assembled in immense force, and th woods for miles around us seamed to be swarming with re: Al sepoys. Major Eyre immediately fired some rounds of shell among the enemy who were in our front, and I sent a skirmishing party under the command. of Captain Scott to drive the rebels out of the woods. In consequence of az i extensive swamp on the left of the road, our skir miak .ers were delayed for a short time, but at length rea c hed tha woods under a very heavy fire from the muti rick s; our skirmishers soon cle _•o.1 the woods on the right and: left of the road, during which time the right skir ini Thing party sustained a severe cross-fire and three men oft die sth wore wounded ; on, whole force then gained the opc al country, but with the loss of a considerable quantity of ; iaggage. The enemy had surrounded us on all sides, add. our main body being within the enemy's rifle-range, the drivers left the elephants and baggage carts, and made off lie to the woods. A.. mile further on we found that the Bunheejunge bridge had b aen completely destroyed by the rebels who had there con= atrated their forces, and were determined to dispute our 1) irther advance. Fia cling that tha re-construction of a bridge in the face of s uc h a largo force of' the enemy was impossible, and that the xiv sr could not be forded, we made a flank movement so a s to gain the railway embankment on our right, and thus. - proceed direct to Arrah. T he enemy immediately left their position behind Bun heo ju.nge Buidge, and pioceeded in a parallel direction s. They kept up their fire on us, but the ground b&aag ;favourable for our skirmishers, who were j ndiciously led by Captain Scott, no great difficulty was experienced by our force until we arrived within about 300 yards of the railway embankment.7ziThe ground here being very much broken, and as we were unable to get the guns on to the railway line, the rebels clearly saw the difficulties we had to encounter, and made certain of our complete destruction. Notwithstanding Major Eyre having opened on the enemy with shell and round shot, and although our skirmishers made excellent practice with their Enfield rifles, still no impression could be made on the rebels, who advanced in large numbers and came rashing on to the mouth of the guns. In the wood on our left, an immense body of the rebels had assembled and poured a tremendous fire upon our line, the left of which with two guns occupied a " tope," and the right was close up to the railway bank under shel ter of some brick-kilns and other sort of cover. Our line was then about 300 yards in length, and the enemy came pouring down on us in large numbers. At this time we were in imminent danger, when Major Eyre ordered us to charge the enemy. This movement was perfectly successful, and our line advancing at the charge, the mutineers fled from the wood, from whence emerging, Major Eyre opened on them with grape, and the enemy cleared off in all directions. One officer and eight men were wounded during the ope rations of the day, which commenced at about 6 a.m. and lasted until 3 p.m. I beg to bring to your especial notice the gallant conduct of Captain Scott, Ensigns Lewis and Mason, who pre vented the enemy from turning our right, and maintained their position under a tremendous fire. My thanks also to Dr. Thornton. Ensign Olaf)ld, who was wounded in the face by a rifle ball, was nevertheless most efficient at his post, namely, With the two guns on the left. Lieutenant Wild (of the late 40th Bengal Regiment), our Interpreter, rendered us great assistance, skirmishing with our men when they were thus employed, charging with our line, and performing all his other duties with extreme intelligence. I flatter myself that with respect to the conduct of the Non-commissioned Officers and Privates of the sth Fusi liers, no comments or recommendations to praise can be required at my hauls. I wish to avail my self of this opportuniy of acknow ledging the many services which the gentlemen Volunteers of our force have rendered to the men of the sth Fusiliers, and I have the honour, &c., F. W. L'ESTRANGE, Captain sth Fusiliers. The Officer Commanding at Dinapore to the Deputy Quartermaster-General. August 10, 1857. it,—l have the honour to report for the information of the Acting Commander-in-Chief, that a detachment of Her Majesty's 10th Foot marched from this station on the 7th inst., with instructions to join the force undar the command of. Major Eyre, 8.A., at Arrah, and to act ac cording to his orders. The object in view is to enable Major Eyre to make an attack on Boor Sing at Jugdispore (,12 miles distant from Arrah) to which he is known to have retired with the greater part of the mutinous Sepoys. Major Eyre has reported the arrival of the detachment at Arrah on the Bth inst , and on the force being com pleted by a party of 100 Seikhs (whioh should join him this day) that he will be in a condition to commence operations. I have &c., P. M. N. GUY, Colonel, Commanding at Dinapore. Major V. Eyre,: Commanding Field Force , to Major W. Lydiard, A.A. General, Dinapore, Koor Sing's Palace. Jugdispore, August 12, 1857. have the pleasure to report the total rout of the rebel force under Koor Sing this day, by the force under my command. The enemy mustered, as far as can be ascertained, about 3,090 strong, of whom 1,500 were Sepoys. The action commenced at the village of Daloor at 11 a.m., where a strong position had been taken up and entrenchments raised. Hera they made a resolute stand for about an hour, when they fell back upon the dense and formidable jungle, whicb extends from thence about a mile and a half to Jugdispore : a running fight was kept up to that place, which we entered in triumph at 1 o'clock, and immediately occupied Koor Sing's residence, where much promiscuous property fell into our hands. Two guns were captured in the action. Koor Sing has fled to the South, and I hoar that his army is dispersing, and I trust the blow now struck may be the means of effectually destroying his influence. In my next I will give full details of my march from Arrab, and of the services perforinEtd by my force, making special mention of those who distinguished themselves. A return of killed and wounded shall be sent with my next despatch ; our loss was trifling, that of the enemy severe.—l have, &c., V. EYRE, Major. W. Taylor, Esq., Commissioner of the Patna Division, to the Secretary to the Government of Bengal. (Extract.) Patna, Aug. 8, 1557. Herewith I have the honour to forward a copy of a very interesting report from Mr. Wake, reporting officially the events that occurred at Arrah since the mutiny. The conduct of the garrison is most creditable, and the gallantry and fidelity of the Sikhs beyond all praise. I have no time at present to make any lengthened re marks on the subject, but will submit a full report here after. Meanwhile I big to recommend that the thanks of Government be conveyed to all who hold the garrison, and especially to Mr. Wake and Mr. Bsyle ; that the native officers of the Seikhs be immediately promoted, and that twelve months' pay be given to all the soldiers concerned. H. C. Wake, Esq., Magistrate of Shahabad, to W. Taylor, Esq., Commissioner of Patna Division. Sir —I have the honour to forward for the information of his Honour the 'Lieutenant-Governor, the following narrative of our extraordinary defence and providential escape. On the evening of Saturday, July the 25th, I received an express from Dinapore, warning us that a disturbance was apprehended on that day, but giving us no other in formation. On the morning of July 26, a Sowar whom I had posted at Koelcvar Ghat, on the Soane, came in and reported that numbers of Sepoys had crossed, and that more were crossing. . _ I found that Mr. Palin, the railway engineer, stationed at Koelwar, had contented himself with sending over for the boats to the Arrah side the night before, but, when leaving, had failed to destroy them as he had promised to do. The police, I imagine, bolted at the first alarm. All efforts to ascertain the amount of the force of the rebels ware unavailing, and the police left the city on Sunday, the 26th. Thinking it highly unadvisable to abandon the station when the rebels might be few, and having 50 Seikhs on the spot, and finding the rest of the officers of the station of the same opinion, and the few residents in the district who had come in to us willing to remain, we, on the night of Sunday, the 2 6th, went into a small bungalow previously fortified as much as possible by Mr. Boyle, the district engineer of the Railway- Com pany. Our force consisted of 1 jemadar, 2 havildars, 2 naiks, 45 privates, a bishtee and cook of Captain Rattray's Seikh police battalion ; Mr. Litiledale, Judge ; Mr. Combs, officiating collector ; Mr. Wake, magistrate ; Mr. Colvin, assistant ; Dr. Hells, civil assistant-surgeon ; Mr. Field, sub-deputy opium agent ; Mr. Anderson, his assistant ; Mr. Boyle, district engineer to the Railway Company ; Syel Azumoodeen Hossein, deputy collector; Mr. Dacosta, moonsiff; Mr. Godfrey, schoolmaster; Mr. Cock, officiat ing head clerk of the collectorate ; Mr. Tait, secret:ll'3 , lo Mr. Boyle; Messrs. Delpiere and Hoyle, railway inspec tors, and Mr. D'Souza. Wo had enough otta and grain for some days of slim t allowance, and a good deal of water for ourselves, but, o wing to the shortness of our notice, nothi n g but the barest necessaries could be brought in, and the Seikhs ha,l only a few days' water, but, as we expected the rebds to be followed up immediately, we had not much anxiety on that score. - On Monday the 27th of July, about 8 a.m. the insurgent Sepoys, the whole of the 7th, Bth, and eoth Native In fantry, arrived in the station, and, having first released the prisoners rushed to the Collectorate, where they were at once joined by the Nujeebs, and looted the treasure, amounting to 85,000 rupees. This did net take long, and they then charged our bungalow from every side, but being met with a steady and well directed fire, they changed their tactics, and, hiding behind the trees with which the compound is filled, and occupying the out-houses and Mr. Boyle's residence, which was nnfortunately w ithin sixty yards of our fortification, they kept up an incessant firs on us - during the whole day. They were joined by numbers of Koor Sing's men, and the Sepoys repeatedly declared that they were acting under his express orders, and after a short time he was seen on the parade and remainededuring the siege. Every endeavour was made by the rebels to induce the Seikhs to abandon us; heavy bribes .were offered to them, and their own countrymen employed as mediators. They treated every offer with derision, lehowingperfect obedience and discipline. ' On the 23th, two small cannons were brought to play upon our bungalow, ono throwing 41b. shot, and these we daily shifted to what the rebels thought to be our mealiest spots.; finally, the largest was placed on the roof of Mr. Boyle's dwelling-house, completely commanding the inside of our bungalow, and the smaller behind it at a distance of 20 yards. Nothing but cowardice, want of unanimity, and only the ignorance of our enemies, prevented our for tification being brought down about our ears. During the entire siege, which lasted seven days, every possible stratagem was practised against us. The cannons were fired as frequently as they could prepare shot, with which they were at first unprovided, and incessant assaults were made upon the bungalow; not only did our Seikhs behave with perfect coolness and patience, but their un tiring labour met and. prevented every threatened disaster. Water- began to run short; a well eighteen feet by four was dug in less than twelve hours. The rebels raised a barxicade on the top of the opposite house, our own grew in the same proportion; a shot shook a weak place in our defence, the place was made twice as strong as before. We began to feel the want of animal food and short allowance of grain, a sally was made at night and four sheep brought in, and finally, when we ascertained beyond a doubt that the enemy was undermining us, a countermine was quickly dug. On the 30th, the troops sent to our relief from Di napore, were attacked and beaten back elose to the en trance of the town. On the next day the rebels returned, and, telling that they had annihilated our relief, offered the Seikhs and the women and children (of which • there were none with us) their lives and liberty if they would give up the Government officers. - August the let we were all offered our lives, and leave to go to Calcutta, if we should give up our arms. On the 2d - , the greater part of the Sepoys went out to meet Major Eyre's field force, and, on their being soundly thrashed, the .rest of them deserted the station, and that night we went out and found their mine had reached our founda tions, and a canvass tube, filled with gunpowder, was lying heady to blow ns up, in which, however, I do not think they would have succeeded, as the powder was dry, and another stroke of the pick would have broken into our countermine ; we also brought in the one gun which they had left on the top of the opposite house. During the - whole siege, only one man, a Seikh, was severely. wounded, t - though two or three got scratches and blow s from splints _.+ - and bricks. Everybody in our garrison behaved well, but - I should be neglecting a duty did I om it to mention spe cially Mr. Boyle, to whose engine erin g skill and untiring exertions we, in a great measure, owe our preserva tion and Mr. Colvin , wh o rendered the most valuable assistance, and who rested neither night nor day, and took on himself far more than his share of every disagreeable duty. In conclusion, I must earnestly beg that his honor the Lieut.-Governor will signally re ward the whole of our gallant little detachment of Sikhs, whose services and fidelity cannot be overrated. The Jemadar should at once be made a Subadar, and many of the rest are fit for promotion, and when required I will submit a list with details.-1 have, See 11. C. WAKE, Magistrate.

After being ten minutes in the water, full seven minutes of which he was under water, he was fished out, when apparently life was utterly extinct. Captain Vincent, and et hsearfwvaeddteheto carry him a to a place of the superintendent of the Royal Mail Company, who t a o oc iideesnt restore o resolved thethatao to o every li life. w t o i w b him who wasin blankets, imedia t ealnyd, sent bi effortwsA.oaue,go,shelter, c onjunction shoulduttigoolny present si pt h him, mr for, he superintended the rubbing of the body and other remedies. These measures fortunately, after along time, succeed. It is an unusual circumstance for a person, after being under water for so long a period as seven minutes, to be restored to life, and numbers of persons falling into the water perish for want of a similar display of resolution and promptitude. i A INEITISSMIANT. j— SIGHT AND HEARING SPEOTACLES— PowERFCL TELESCOPES OPERA, RAce, AND PERSPECTIVE GLASSES. —S, and B.
