Os the order being given to deliver up their arms and accoutrements, many of the men absolutely flung their pistols, bolts, &c., into the air, and on the whole, al though they did deliver up their arms, they mauilested the utmost disaffection. They had, however, to endure II still greater surprise, and one which they were evi dently not prepared for, and that was the seizure of their horses, which being their own property they thought would not be taken from them. The latter were taken off to the hospital-yard, round which and several other pucka buildings there is the enclosure of a pucka wall. The 200 men of her Majesty's 35th, stationed here, were engaged in disarming the guards at their different posts. Thus ended the amusements of the evening. I must not omit to mention that whilit the colonel and officers of the 90th with their men were all oat during the rain and up to nearly nine o'clock at night, and had the entire job of placing the arms and horses within the enclosure above referred to, many of the station staff and native regimental officers walked off quietly to their mess ; in deed, much might be said, in no way flattering to them, if a comparisou were to be drawn between them and the orderly and soldier-like bearing and conduct of the Euro pean regiment. It is pleasing to record the fact that all the men of this splendid regiment are in capital health and spirits, and no sickness whatever on board ; the steamers, al though crowded, are well ventilated, everything, in fact, is good, but the Commissariat arrangements, which, as usual, are infamous ; the bread being the very worst that can be imagined, and the biscuits no better ; the Latter pieitivly black and magotty. Our European soldiers must not be sacrificed to offi cial indlence, and some one must be made answerable for the utter indifference displayed by all parties who are connected with this departreent. Let it be borne in mind the value which' should be attached to the life of every European soldier in the present times, and I feel confident the disregard hitherto shown for their comforts will call for the immediate notice of the Go vernor-General in Council. The Colonel of the 90th despatched 200 men this morning at 11 o'clock, to search - for all arms in the bazaar. Further particulars I hope to be able to send you by the next post. The Government steamer Keel, which had been despatched with the ammunition, and came up last evening, has returned this morning, and will probably be in before the post of this day.

Our last was dated the 20th ultimo, we have since received commercial news from home to 20;h June which is generally rather satisfactory. Our produce market has shown no symptoms of im provement since our last—business has been, with few exceptions, to the same limited extent as before ; the state of the cout,try being still unsettled, and the in security in the transit, have tended to keep off supplies from the market ; 'prices, consequently, are still ruling high, and there is lees eagerness shown oa the part of shippers to operate. Manufactiv ing of Indigo is going on throughout Bengal and Tirhoot ; but complaints of too much rain are being gaily received, which has reduced the t xpecta• tion of the planters. Accounts from Behar, Benares, and the 130, , ab are very discouraging. Very little is expected from those districts. Plundering and destruc tion continue unabated, and many factories are said to have been deserted by the planters. At this sate of things, we think it will be too premature to form a cor rect result of the crop ; it will, no doubt, however, be far short of that of last season. Oar import market has been in much the same state as previously reported, a moderate business has con• tinued to be done for the requirement of Bengal only in twist (.his being the season for manufacturing), at steady prices. In piece goods, business has been principally confined to grey shirtings, madapolams and jaconets, the favourable rate of exchange having in some degree in duced holders to effect sales at slightly lows r rates ; but we think, on the whole, there has been much firatness shown and some degree of prudence in retraining from pushing stocky ; as in so doing, they would have mate rially depreciated the value ot goods. We rema• k that the sales of grey good, although large, have been only to the extent of actual requirements. Ia • breached goods, there has been a very limited business, par.icularly in light Scotch fabrics, and prices of most descriptions are nominal. In woollens there is still nothing doing, there being no buyers for the upper provinces. In metals the market continues inactive in the e abser cof buyers. Prices of som e assortments have slightly declined ; holdera, how ever, are refraining from selling, excepting in very !visa)] parcel -7, when actually needed for immediate local re quirement. The money market remains much the same as last re portee. Large amount of capital romaine unemployed in the bazaar. Government Securities have fluctuated a l't'le ; and business has been done to a very limitod scale, little disp. sition being shown for investment or spectlatior:.

The rumour is, that he has gone to nalke arrangement., it Pos sible, for the despatch of an adequate force to China, and which . will probably now consist of a larger proportion of native troops than was at first in tended ; all the Europeans that can be spared being required in t3engal.

The railway Share Market was rather buoyant, and prices fluctuated to some material extent. The Bank of England return, which is ,completed for the weak ending the 12th inst., is considered rather unsatisfactory, since there is not only a large diminution in the Bullion, but also a further ac cumulation of securi•ies. The alteration in the stock of the precious metals is ascribed to the transmission of gold to the Brazils, and the remit tances made t 3 the provinces for harvest and other purposes. The- demand for money has been very active, and, as it continues, many are anticipating an advance in the minimum rate of discount. Nearly all the specie recently arrived from Australia has been sent to the Continent, but as a further supply of upwards of half a million sterling has been announced this morning, and the accounts from the Antipodes report further ship ments, an augmentation may soon be produced. The only satisfactory features in the balance-sheet are the increase in the rese've of notes, and the Treasury deposits. The principal items, and the changes they present, are as subjoined.

These state that the average weekly yield of gold in Victoria was 43,284 oz., against 44,604 oz., the average pro duction in the same period last year. The shipments during the first six months of the present year were 1,252,980 ounces against 1,588,051 ounces in the like period of 1856, 1,182,810 ounces in 1855, and 1,077,431 in 1854. The most important event in connection with monetary affairs since the pre vious despatches were sentaway was the promulga tion of the proclamation declaring Australian sove reigns and half do. to be current and lawful money throughout the Australian colonies. The English Stock Market has been firmer to day, in consequence of the Indian news, and the rise on the Paris Bourse. Business, however, is very dull, and the speculators have been chiefly engaged in discussing the Calcutta correspondence. Consols for transfer have been 90i and for account 901 There has been no variation. Exchequer Bali are Bs. to 4Ccliscuurit ; the Bonds, 98?" ; and Indian Bonds, 18s. discount. 10 .tmbg. Nottng.

He 2 states that the line was safely laid down to within ten 2 milas of the shore, when its extremity was fixed to a 2 buoy. Nevertheles s a smaller cable was j oined to it in 5 order to establish a provio.onal communicaticn, and to have an easy clue to the principal cable. It was this small additional cable that snapped in shallow water and close to the shore, after hay.ng afforded ample proof that the communication between Bona and the steamer Elba was complete. The operation ma y therefore, be said to hare succeeded completely.

Colman, which sailed from Melbourne on the sth July, was in the Cheri nel yesterday, and has landed passengers here. She brings 127,000 oz. of golddust, 8,000 sove reigns, a valuable cargo of copper, black sand, tal low, and wattle bark, and 130 passengers, among whom is Capt. Broadhurst, of the 40 Regiment. The Norfolk rounded Cape Horn on the 28th of July, 23 days from Melbourne ; cros ed the line, where she experienced calms, on the 31st August, and made the passage from the Azores to the Channel in four days. • Ont Ward voyage, 67 days ; homeward, 74. She spoke Augusts 13th, in 15 deg. south, the Miles Barton, 49 days from Liverpool, with emi grants for Melbourne ; and near the Falkland Islands the brig Globe, from the West Coast of America for Liverpool. ARRIVAL OF THE VANGUARD. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. The ship Vanguard, Captain Wise, arrived in the Mersey this evening from Melbourne, after a pas sage of 114 days, having left that port on the 27th oMay. She brings a general cargo, but little or no gold. The Melbourne Argus of July 22 states that : " The reports from our gold-fields give steady evidence of the wonderful resources of the colony in this great staple export. The escort returns are below the averag e of the year 1856 , bu t are very nearly equal to those of the same period of thlt year. During the last thirteen weeks the quantities have amounted to 562,665 ounces, which show an average weekly yield of 43,28 t ounces. In the thirteen corresponding weeks of 1856 the quantities brought down by escort atnounted to 579,861 ounces, which gives an 44,6)4 ounces. The balance in favour of the weakly average of the year 1856 is 1,320 ounces. TRANSPORT OF TROOPS TO INDIA We are informed that the East India Company have declined Messrs. Croskey's proposal for the establishment of a transport service to India via E.,typt. The directors state that it is not the in tention of lit r Majesty's Government to sand any large number of troops across the Desert at present, and therefore they cannot avail themselves of the proposal which might otherwise be adopted with advantage to the public service. This is assuming a grave responsibility, as we learn that the fleet now offered cannot be obta;ned later in the year, should it be deemed desirable to organise the pro , pe;el line of communication with our Indian colo -1 vies.—Daily _News. WILD'S PANORAMIC MAP OF INDIA - Mr. Wyld has just published a very graphic map of India, which is peculiarly opportune at this eventful period. It delineates the localities of the insurrectionary districts very clearly ; with the lines of electric telegraph, the railways—we wish there had been more of theta—and the scenes of the mutiny. The great rivers, mountains, and other subsidiary tributaries, are well defined ; to gether with a table of reference, by which any re quired locality may be found at once. The map has the peculiar advantage of not being overcrowded with names of insignificant places, which enables the eye to range over and catch those of relative importance at a glance. His Royal Highness Prince Alfred attended by 1 Lieutenant Cowell, arrived at Buckingham Palace yes terday afternoon, from o.borne. The Prince took his departure in the evening for Balmoral. The Duke of Ru'laud how arrived in town from Lonzthavre Lodge, Derbyshire. L'ird Leorge and Lady Adeliaa Manners have left Longshawe, for Cheveley Park, near Newmarket. SUFFERERS IN INDIA.—The artistes engaged at Drury lane Theatre have agreed to give a special performance next Monday fnr the benefit of our btreaved fellow c >untrymen and sisters iu India, " without a penny's remuneration." This is a good example. Trill CONISIANDER BEFORE DELHl—Brigadier General Archibald Wilson, the new chief, belongs to the Bengal Artillery, has seen much service, and since the mutiny has been very efficient. Ile is one of the 12 sons of the late Rev. G. Wilson, of Kirby Cave, near Bungay, and is a nephew of the late Lord Bernera, and first cousin of the present lord. NANA SAIIIB.—Tbe Rev. Mr. Hay, the American missionary, and who has just arrived in England from the mutinous districts in India, with his wife and two children, doubts the report of the death of Nana Sahib, who, be says, is as cunning as he is cruel ; and it is 1 possible that the account of his suicide is but a ruse adopted to stave off pursuit.

TO THE EDITOR CF THE SUN. SIR,—In your City Article of the 16th instant, corn. plaint is wade of the inconvenient day fixed for the above meeting. The complainants, honever, ought not to be surprised at anything in the way of pettifogging manceuvre done by the Chairman f the Committee of Spanish American Bandheliers. • It was about this time last year ( i 'e Morning Chronicle, Saturday - , Sept. 27, 1856), that ir. his other character of " Chairman of the Committee of Ecuaterian Debt," he contrived to get rescinded, by a somewhat similar manoeuvre, an amended re4oltition, passed by a large meeting on the previous St.h of August, and which amended resolution orly authorised the co - emittee, upon the conversion of Guatemala Bonds, to mike a deduction of three per cent. cetnruission, ins stead of the five per cent. claimed for their own services; and in 1854 (Lelng a shareholder in the Mariquita Gold MitAng Company), I well recollect that our chairman — the same identical Mr. Janus— adjourned one of the nimerous extraordinary general meetings of the above c,iropany, held in the autumn of that year, into the 29th of December, just four days after Christmas day, when most of the 1 irger and more influential shareholders were pretty sure not to attend—the conduct of the directors, too, being then really at issue. I enclose my card, with my London address; and trust. ing, Sir, that you wiill be able t , permit this short come munication to appear in The Sun, I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servAnt, CIIRISUIt.
