A A. kf,' LONDON, WEDNESDkY, SEPT. 16, 1857. The Overland Mail, so anxiously looked for, has arrived, and copious extracts will be found in another part of this day's impression. It will be soon that the atrocious miscreant, NANA SAHIB, the ringleader of the cmspiracy, the murderer, ir,t only of the fugitives, who might have ex pected protection at his hands, but also of those who, confiding in his deceitfal and treacherous promises, had capitulated at Cawnpore, has ex piated his diabolical offences by an act of self murder—all his family, according to Eastern cus tom, being involved in one conamon destruction. This is a striking example to tTao rebels. It shows that the man, to whom they chiefly looked as the head of their confederacy, the acting chief of the future Indian Empire, had totally despaired, and avoided impending justice by an act of self-immo lation. This rests on no doul)tful authority. It is contained in a despatch from the camp of the gallant HAVELOCK * in which it is stated that, after the unopposed destruction of Bithoor, the rebel leader had at first con templated going to Lucknow, but when he came to the river, finding hinasellf deserted by his ea•valry and infantry, "he had drowned himself with all his family." It would have been more satisfactory had he mot the felon *death ho so richly merited—had the hangman's skill been called into operation. Brit, as it is, a great effect must necessarily be 'produced on the mutineers, and all their aiders and abettors. It 1 5 a positive relief to the national mind to know that the career of this sanguinary ruffian hos been brought to a summary conclusion. There was not a single redeeming feature in his char racier. The blackest treachery was added to the mo,t fiendish cruelty. Ilia victims wore those with whom ho had previously associated, and for whom ho professed sincere friendship —whom he heel aerul'y pressing them promiied to protect, to F. oil refuge in his fortress at Ilithoor, where they would be safe front any outbreak► And yet it was b his orders that they were consi gne d to tic ,; nioa; horrible and heartrending destruction. It was on the 16th July that TlevE L o en rup relied into Cawnpore. ll© had previously tak n 12 guns front the rehel:--, after their igno• minima flight from Futtelipore — w e - -e can scarcely call it an action. On the 15th his troops were twice again engaged, and captured foie more guns 1 and on tho 16th be recap!arred Cawnpre, ha - r:ing totally defeated NANA SAIJIB and taken •six more guns, four of thorn of siege calibre. There had been contests at a succession of villages, behind which the enemy were posted. But the flank being ably turned, the rebels fled in dismay, and Cawnpore was re gained. There the terrible evidences of the fearful outrages that had been committed wore discovered. A wholesale massacre had been. perpetrated t 88 officers, 190 men of her Ma- jesty's 84th Regiment, 70 ladies, 120 w omen and children of her Majesty's 32d Regiment, and the whole European and Christian population, including' civilians, merchants, shopkeepers, engi neers, pensioners, and their families, about 400 in number, were butchered in the most heartless manner, and with every circumstance of aggravation, that made even death itself a blessing anxiously desired by our unfortunate countrywomen. The court-yard was swimming in blood. The women and children had been stripped naked, beheaded, and thrown down a well. The children being flung alive over their murdered parents, only four are said to have escaped. On the 29th of July 15 guns were captured by HAVELOCK, en route to Luck now, as we have already stated, and on the 30th other successes were achieved at Buper- Gunge. The rebels were probably the besiegers of Lucknow, as NANA SAHIB'S fugitive troops had, after the destruc tion of the fort at Bithoor, dispersed, after destroy ing their arms, and, after the suicide of their leader, to their respective homes. There could he but little doubt that the relief of Lucknow would be accomplished, as had been anticipated, on the 31st July, and that HAVELOCK would then be at liberty to march on Delhi or Agra as seemed most advisable. The rumours respecting the capture of Agra by the rebels do not appear to rest on any satisfactory foundation. We may therefore hope • that this awful catastrophe has not taken place, and that the 5,000 fugitives have not been sub jected to the tender mercies of the bloodthirsty insurgents. Considerable anxiety must neces sarily be felt as to their fate. But we cannot see whence the force could come that would be sufficient to defeat 500 British troops holding a strongly fortified position. The rebels under NANA SAHIB had sought refuge in flight. The mutineers from Neemuch, discouraged by the warm reception they received, had joined the rebels at Delhi, and the other roving bands were tolerably well accounted for. We shall therefore hope for the best, and discredit the appalling report until better evidence is forth coming to sustain it. The news from Delhi and other quarters is in accordance with that contained iu the telegrams, which we have already noticed. The pressure on our space prevents us from offering further comments. We may, however, refer to the large extracts we have given, as well as to the summary from the Bombay Times, which will give full information. It is to be hoped that the fate of Delhi will soon be accomplished, when the troops now before it are reinforced by those under HAVELOCK, VAN CORTLANDT, and NICHOLSON, and the brave and energetic Sir CoLix is on the spot to direct the whole against the devoted city, and to inflict con dign punishment on the treacherous wretches who were " unfaithful to their salt," and turned against those by whom they were fed and kindly treated. That the Mahommedans will be found to have ' been at the bottom of the mutiny we have little doubt. Whether another enemy whom we only half punished in the Crimea stimulated their am bition to try and regain the dominion of the GREAT MOGUL may perhaps never be known, or, if known, will come to light only at that distance of time when secret political counsels and treaties no longer implicate the living. Certain it is that our loss of Kars ; our folly in leaving the Crimea in the hands of Russia, when its occupation by the Western troops, of any of the Allies, would have proved to Orientals who was master ; oar leaving Circassia still to smart beneath the gun boats in the Black Sea, and the troops on land, of the CZAR; our petty work in Bo s‘rabia, in stead of transferring all that province at least to Turkey ; nay, the present delay iu the elections in the Danubian Provinces itself : certain we take it to be, that all these things are bruited by ap proved agents amongst all the tribes bordering in Asia on the Turkish Empire, at the Court of Teheran, and to the very borders, probably to the heart, of India itself. We never committed a greater mistake in regard to India, not to say iu regard to Germany and Turkey, than when we consented to terminate the war at the request of two imperial despots trembling for a brother despot, and to allow all the East to hear tho tale of the finest army England ever sent forth being compelled, for so the tale would run, to evacuate the Russian territory even after it had destroyed one town. It is, however, gratifying to see that all Ma hommedans do not participate in the madness of thew of Delhi. One who certainly knew us well, who could speak our language, and who, having been Persian and English translator to the Board of Administration in the Punjab, must have gained a fair acquaintance with our general policy, can denounce, and that in a letter to his son here, as strongly as an Englishman, the folly and cruelty of the mutineers. Writing from Jubbulpore, July the 19th, he says :—" Those wicked and consummate fools the Sepoys have spread terror and consternation through every province. Notwithstanding the special favour with which they were treated by the British Government, notwithstanding it cherished and indulged them like its own children, paid them regularly, secured to them promotions and pensions, and granted them prize money when on active service, these wretches, for I will not disgrace the word men, by giving it to them, have committed atro cities not to be paralleled in history, and from the idea of which the mind recoils with sickening horror." He proceeds to lament that in his old age, after having ao Ilng known all that could be known of us in India, he has to be the .messenger of evil tidings, and to inform his son of the barba rities practised on Captain SIMI; whom the first accounts represented as having killed both him self and his wife, after a brave unsupported de fence of himself and her for many houre, to pre vent their falling into the hands of Sepoys. It now appears that the case was even more painful. MEER. SPED MOllll3 1.11()D, the writsr we have quoted from, states that a wretch whom he had relieved and taken into his service out of cempas sion, liberated and armed the prisoners, forced his way into the fort at their held, massacred every European, reserved C iptain SIiENE, and having butchered his wife and two lovely boys before ilia oyes, finally murdered him also ; and then hav ing plundered the place of all the property he could find, " made off w;th his accursed crew towards Delhi." justiceei plaltsyl o la tti v o e th r e ef s e e rre o d y , however, to his letter, prin.- show that those of us who demand focus of their vi P ll - 52 and on Delhi, the nest and c9nscience of worthy are at least backed by the natives themselves. liplahe'nmelm3 among the puling" i o n n g e " w h h u o tu k a n n o i twas ri a n s, would do well to li r as: us well, but who mint know his own countrymen and his co-religionists far better than We do. He has not a word to say for them ; rather, there is not a word which ho does not say against them. He feels, though a Mahonimedan, that they h ave violated such obligations, and repaid the . beat treatment with such fiendish ingratitude, that be lieving in ALEUT and his prophet,- ho cannot imagine that their faith can be a pretext for such villany. He never suggests it as as excuse. Nay, verily, we believe, that the honest man deems it profanation of his simple faith in ALLAH to allege his name in defence of their atrocities. Ho could not, we believe no respectable Mahommedan could, believe in any exoneration from the duty to benefactors. We believe that Sepoy in gratitude is viewed by the better part of the Mahommulans themselves, with as much detestation as by us, and by the devout part of them, with the firm persuasion that ALLAH himself will inflict retribution for such enormous crimes. Indeed, we feel no doubt what over that the maudlin cant of the humanitarians, if listened to, would lower Christianity itself in the eyes of the natives of India. They well know that they have been guilty of outrageous atrocities against European Christians. They have perpe trated these barbarities under the mask of religion. They will now begin to reflect on what they have done. They will hear that British troops are pouring in by thousands at Calcutta and Bombay. What will their first feeling bo when they begin to fear that all is over with thorn ? Wo take it that they will remember what LUTFULLAII—tho Mahommedan who has published his biography— knew of the Feringhees, " that they are inexorably just.' ) Of that justice they will expect but one thing—retributivn. They will feel that theft's is no case for mercy. Not only that, all the natives of India would despise Christianity, if it did not exact plenary retribution for Sepoy crimes. They would think our religion failed to teach men the very elements of justice; mercy, they would think mean ness cowardice, littleness of soul. They can under stand magnanimity no doubt as well as we in the -forgiveness of personal injuries, but they would contemn the general and the judge who talked of mercy for the murderers and abusers of the pure, the tender, the innocent, the helpless. But, enough. England happily is thoroughly aroused, and our soldiers who represent us in India—our LAIVRENCES 7 our HAVELOCK% our NICHOLSON.% are not likely to be worse than women, with the horrors of all the treachery im mediately beneath their eyes. We only hope that deliberate retribution, will follow martial retribu tion. We, of course, want no bloody assizes in India, but we think it will be most saint try, that no mutineer who can be proved to have partici pated in these outrages, should over escape. We are willing enough to show leniency when it can be shown that numbers have been led astray by a few designing men, but lot this bo distinctly made out, and let every mutineer understand that even yielding to temptation is a just cause for death ; on the seducers, however, let unmitigated vengeance fall. They showed no mercy, let them have none. They undid others, let them perish without mercy themselves. The closing words of the Mahommedan letter aro well worthy reprinting—" Should this" he says " be my last letter, I beg you never to for get that India cannot have a better ruler than the British Government, or be better adminis tered than by the East India Company (he lives in the Punjaub.) Faults undoubtedly have been committed, and abuses have existed, and do still exist, but what human institution can boast of being exempt from them ? One thing is certain— , that the result of these disturbances will be an increased desire on the part of the authorities to remove every cause of complaint, and to introdue,, all the reforms and improvements required by the present system of government." A Cabinet Council was held yeater.lay at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury in Diwning street. The Ministers present were—Viscount Palms! s ten, the Lard Coancellor, the Marquis of La.'s•lo Roo, the Earl of Flarrowby, Sir George Grey, Mr. Secretary Labouchere; Lord Panniure, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, the Right llon. R. Vernon Smith, and the Right lion. M. T. Baines. The dividends are advertised of the Peruvian Danish Three per Cent., Brazilian Five per Cent., and Chilian Six per Cent. loans. THE CHOLERA.—The cholera has broken out at Ham burg. Between the 29th of August and the Gbh of September, there were 239 cases, of which 136 proved fatal. The saving to the East India Company by the mutiny and desertion of each Bengal regiment, of 1200 sepoys strong, will be about 30001. per month. Some fifty re giments have disbanded themselves, and the company will have therefore saved, at the end of August, newly half a million of money in the pay of sepoys, non-com missioned officers, &c. Although the increase of the Rest in the last DILI: return showed a surplus over tho usual limit of 3,000,060/., which would admit of a dividend of 6 per cent., this amount will be reduced by rebate of bills, &c., and it is consequently not expected that the distri bution will exceed 51 per cent. Mr. Duffy, ex-Minister for Woods and Forests in the Melbourne government, is likely to find his level even at the Antipodes. By that excellent journal, the Aryus, we find that he and Mr. Shannesq, irritated by the defeat of their cabinet, employ themselves in obstructing the course of legislation by long speeches, motions for adjournment, &c., and upon one occasion they kept the house sitting, with little intermission, for 20 hours. EXTRAORDINARY INC/MT.—The following almost in credible statement appears in the last number of the Drogheda Consereatire :—" On the 27th ult. the body of a female infant, was found, by the police at Kelle, con cealed in the soil of a privy, at the back of the house of Mr. Richard Close, medical practitioner, aecoucheur, proprietor of a medical establishment &c. They reported the circumstance at once to a local magistrate. Witnesses were instantly summoned, and a most respectable man, Dr. Pentland, all of whom agreed that Rose Meredytb, a servant in the establishment, was the mother of said infant, and that it was dead born, and bad not come to maturity. After a short consultation between the magistrate and the police, having /summed up, they came to the following conclusion We find that Rose Meredyth, mother of the infant, is not only not guilty, but perfectly free from any blame whatever ; _and we further add, that she was justified in burying her offspring dead born, even in a privy, dung heap, or sink, or where it suited her convenience.' Mr. IT. Martha, coroner of the county, having got private infor mation, lost no time in ascertaining the facts, when he was called on to interfere, and at once issued his precept and warrant to disinter the body preparatory to holding a legal inquisition. He summoned 15 result stable jurors on Thursday, the 3d inst., 14 of whom attended , and were sworn, and after a most minute and particular inquiry, without the slightest hesitation, the jury re turned a verdict that the body of the said infant wa4 found concealed in a privy in the town of Kale, and that Rose Meredyth is the mother thereof, and, finally, tbat she concealed the birth of the same. In the interim between the former and the latter inquest, R ice Meredyth was allowed to escape, when the coroner had no alternative but to issue his warrant for her apprz honsion." TEE DEATHS BY DROWNING AT DIINBAR.—TkIe parti culars of the melancholy accident whiela took place at Dunbar on Saturday afternoon, and which was brit fly noticed in The Sun of yesterday, are thus related 'by the Edinbu;gh Evening Courant :—" Mr. William Wilson, a gentleman from London, brother of Mr. J. Wilson, Secretary of the Trea;ury, and of Mr. W. Wilton, ma nufacturer, lie wick, had a few weeks since br.aight, down his family to Dunbar, where he possessed a marine villa called Kirkbill Cottage. The cottage was neat the beach, and the windows overlookel the place where the family were wont to bathe. The water had been v, ry rough the previous day, and on Saturday there was still a strong under current. While the tide wag receding, Misses H. and A. Nilson, aged respectively 17 and 14, ventured into the sea to bathe, along with a female ser vant. They had not been long in the. water when a heavy sea struck the group, throwing the servant upon the beach, but drawing the young ladies under the waves. Tile former seeing the danger her charge wsre in gave the alarm and ran to the cottage. Mr. Wileor and his son Janes, came down to the beach—the latter immediately dashed inti the water, but was soon beyond hie depth and drowning. The father, seeing hie Lima . ) in such peril, rushed also into the water, hut vain ai.d fatal wag his effort, for he alio was drawn into tie cur rent, and before aid could be got they all rrished to gether. The distracted mother followed to the beach, and Was about tt encmonter the same danger, when som, one on the beach followed her in`o the water and drew her back. A police-constable gallantly succeeded withir. 10 minutes in roc ,verirg Helen, and upan being draw' , upon the beach she was heard to draw a sigh, hut no further evidence of life was given, and all effort to restore it proved fruitless. James was got iu 3 or 4 minutes af:-r, but he was quite dead. The bogy of Misi Alice was not recovered till 5 p.m., when it was found nearly half a mile to the westward, near the old harbour. The a'clo o y n o m f M on r d . ay W e il v s e o n n iT h ig a - 1 , n9t rli r b . 3 e ‘ n v osheardoil wasof up to the b C et residing some months in the year with his family at Dauber, lie was 55 years of age. TIIE sItTN, LO:NBON, WEDNESDAY .10 4 4 .. VItNIMG SEPI'EMBEM la, 1857 LATE 3T NEWS THE OVERLAND MAIL. THE MUTINIES IN INDIA. We have receivel by Extraordinary Express, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, our Bombay papers to the 15th August. The Calcutta portion of the mail, as our readers are already aware, hid not arrived at Suez, on the 4th instant, the day . when the Bombay journals were despatched to' Alexandria, and consequently cannot be expected to reach us for a day or two. We subjoin impor tant extracts from the papers now to hand : (From, the Bombay Times of August 15.) SUMMAItY. —By the good hand of our God upon us, our English readers will receive advices from India by this mail of a decidedly cheering charac ter. Although rebellion yet reigns in the Upper Provinces, and mutiny, with its horrors, is no longer confined to the Bengal Army, still it is true that the swelling and inundation of this great rebellion have not merely reached the'r helg,hle but are actually refluent. General Havelock, with his chosen band, was the first successfully to stem the wild torrent and turn the tide. His appointment to the command of the bri gade at Allahabad wag the inauguration of victory. Under God, this heroic captain, with his brave Highlanders, has saved India. General Havelock's force, on the re-occupation of Cawnpore, had, in eight days, marched 126 miles, fought four actions with Nana, Sahib's army against overwhelming odds in point. of numbers, and taken 24 guns of light and heavy calibre—and that, too, in the month of July in India ! On the morning of the 17th July, the force marched into Cawnpore. The soul-harrowing spectacle which there presented itself to them beggars description. The extent of the frightful catastrophe now became known. A wholesale massacre had been perpetrated by the fiend Nana Sahib. Eighty-eight officers, 190 men of her Majesty's 84th Foot, 70 ladies, 120 women and children of her Majesty's 32d Foot, and the whole European and Christian population of 'the place, including civilians, merchants, shopkeepers, engineers, pensioners and their families, to the number of about 400 persons, were the victims of this satanic deed. The courtyard in front of the assembly-rooms, in which Nana Sahib had had his head -quarters, and in which the women had been imprisoned, was swimming iu blood. A large number of women and children, who had been " cruelly spared after the capitulation for a wore() fate than instant death," had been barbarously slaughtered on the previous morning—the former having been stripped naked, beheaded, and thrown into a well ; the latter having been hurled down alive upon their butchered mothers, whose blood yet reeked on their mangled bodies. We hear of only four who escaped- e -a Mrs. Greenway, wife of a merchant, and three Indo-Britons. The diary of a lady is said to have been found at Cawnpore, written up to the day on which she was killed, and containing information of great importance, on which the general is acting. We shall eventually obtain full particulars of the horrible tragedy that has been witnessed there. The small, brave, vic -torious army of retribution, harassed and worn out by their unprecedented exploits of the previous eigh t days, rested a clay or two at Cawnpore, and then moved on (reduced in their numerical strength, as the result of their last battle, -about one in fifteen of their whole force), to meet the enemy again to wards Lucknow. After passing by Bhitoor, which they found evacuated, ant which they burned to the ground, they met the foe on the 29th July, and the following suLstance of a despatch from General Havelock to the Commander-iu-Chief in Bengal, with which we have been favoured, explains sub sequent operations, which ended iu the defeat of the enemy on two successive occasions : " Camp Bupeer-ul-Gunge, July 30. " Arrived at Oonao 29th inst. The town pro. tected by a 5W31)17, not fo: &Ode on its bank houses loophoLd, and defend° t by 15 guns. 1 attacked and captured it, with all the enemy's gun , . The enemy wore aided by, a portion of the Nena's force, commanded by Jupa Sing. Halted four hours awl then pushed on to this town, which is also sur rounded by water, and was defenied by four gabs. The road to entrance was destroyed, and the gate cannonaded. _I assaulted and cal riel it with its guns.. Enemy's loss heavy ;my own severe, being 88 killed and wounded. Private Cavanagh, 64th R eg b , would have been recommended for the Victoria Cross, but he was cut to pieces while set ting ablilliant example; desired his re l a ti on s may pensioned.be . Madras Fusiliers greatly distin guished themselves, Lieut. Dangerfield being first over the barricade. Lieut. Bogle, 7Sth Highlanders, was severely wounded while leading the way into a loopholed house—recommended to the notice of his Royal Highness the General Commanding in Chief. Col. Tytler, who was 'scarcely able to sit his horse, set an example to all of activity and daring. Lieut. Havelock's horse was shot under him. Lieut. &tee, MadrasFusiliors, acting A..D.C., severely wounded. An entire field battery of arms captured. Without, cavalry, I cannot secure horses or equipments. My volunteer horse improve daily." The lat st accounts by letter from Gen. Havelock's camp, dated July 30, the day after the fight, state that tnc enemy were about two miles in front. The force was at Bupeergunge, 16 miles from Cawnpore. The force expected to reach Lucknow on the 31st ult., when the little garrison there, under command of Major Banks, which has bean so bravely holding out since the death of Sir 11. Lawrence, would be re. lieved. After relieving Lucknow, it is the inten tion of Gen. Havelock to press on to Delhi, a distance of about 170 miles. From Delhi wo have received no advices of a satisfactory character. The enemy make an oc casional sortie in considerable fierce, but are in variably driven back, after doing some injury to us, and much more to themselves. Owing to Gen. Reid's illness, the command of the forces has devolved on Brigadier-General A. Wilson, of the Bengal Artillery. A ba,' Me was fought on the 18th ult., in which Lieut. Crozier, of her Majesty's 75th Foot, was killed. The enemy got back into the city, after a very precipitous flight, with all their. gulls. _ Reinforcements were begin ning to arrive, so that it was expected that of r force would soon be in a position to make a general assault, with the certainty of ling able to hold the plaeo after taking it ; intelligence of the fall of the city is anxiously expected. From Agra there is nothing new since the bat.le related in our last. There are about 6,00 persons shut up in the fort there, and will be able to hold out, but anxiously looliing for relief. New mutinies have occurred at Dineporc. The 7th, 8 h, and 40th Regiments Bengal Native Infan try mutiuiel about the 23d ult., and her MAjcsty's 10th Foot shot down 800 of them.. The 12th Irregular Cavalry al , o mutinied at the same place, murdering their co:nu:landing oflieer, Holmes, and his wife. The three Native Infintry Regi me:lts wore comid , Ted staunch, and had actually but a slio . rt thin before their mutiny kept the city of Patna from rising. " Her are regiments," says tbo Poona Observer, " bre king out the eleventl! h - mr, wh-n the tide 17 aS turning in our favour, and whrtn European troops were pas in; continually up the liver, thneby rendering the destruction of the main; era ceetairr—as if they had AvAitcd for some !tryst Irieus order, just like the Baredly tro Alogether, the more we ponder over it, the more mysterious the whole matter appears to us." nese fresh mutinies hive caused mu excit?inent at Bewares, as tho mutineets are making their way and pluntle;ing towards that city. All was quiet in Calcutta, although considerable kiruehension was felt in connoctic , n with the ap proaching Aluhurrurn. The Governor General Lcs formed a corps of cavalry, to be called the " Bong: 1 Yeomanry Cavalry," with the view of giving en.- ployment to the many Englishmen and others in Bengal and the No!th West Provinces,. wleke raceable avocations have been interrupted by 'he disturbol state of the country ; and who, althouLli in no way cannected with the Government, ar e wiling and eager to give an active support to its authority at the present time, by sharing service in the field with the troops of the Queen and of the East India Company. We have remarked that mutiny in no longer confined to the Bengal army. The infection has reached our own Presidency —our own troops. in consequence of the most scrupulous withhold ing of intelligence on the part of Government, the community is kept in a constant state of painful suspense, and of liability to alarm and panic. There is no good reason for this scrupul ous secresy, as the Queen's and Company's troops, the civilians and the Europeans unconnected with Government, and the loyal portion of the native community, are really strong enough to put dawn any attempt at insurrection. It would, therefore, tend greatly to the peace and quiet of the timid if Government would allow the press to receive and publish the intelligence from different parts of the Presidency. We know that mutiny has broken out in the 27th Bombay Native Infantry, stationed at Kolapore. The only particulars that have reached us regarding it are, that a portion of the regiment mutinied on the Buckrce Eed—the Ist inst. When the officers were assembled in the billiard-room after mess, a Jamadar rushed in, and gave them warning that the men ware coining to tire on them. They immediately repaired to the place of rendezvous previously appointed ; but three young officers, ignorant of the place or bewildered in the darkness, went astray, and were taken and murdered by the mutineers. The mother of the Jemadar, an old woman, went to the house of Major Rolland, the commanding officer of the regiment, at the same time that the Jemadar went to the mess-room, to warn the ladies of their danger, and afford them an opportunity of making their escape. No sooner had the ladies effected their escape than the house was surrounded by the mutineers. Disappointed of their prey, they revenged them selves on the faithful old womau—her fidelity cost her her life. A number of the rebels wore seized ; the rest made their way to other parts of the country. They have since:returned, and there has been] oh ,tinate fighting there ; but we have not learnt the result. Belgatun,' . D larwar, Rutnagherry, Sattara, and other places were thus thrown into great ex citement. Our reports from these places, are, how ever, so conflicting that we do not feel justified in attempting any statement regarding them. The collector of Sattara, Mr. Rose, a man in every respect equal to the occasion, has thought it advisable to send the ex-Ranee,s and the adopted son of the late deposed Rajah to Bombay, and they are now in confinement on Butcher's Island, a depot of the Indian navy.—A plot was dis covered at Poona, concerted between the Moulvies of Poona and Balgaum, for the massacre of the Europeans and Christians of those stations. Letters were interoopted at the Poona post-office, which contained full details of the conspiracy, and which enabled the authorities, timely advised, to shun the coming evil. The Moulvie of Poona, with several accomplices from that station, aro now pri soners on board the Hon. Company's frigate Ac bar, awaiting their trial at the next criminal ses sions, for high treason. Arrests have also been wade at Belga - fun and Ahmednuggur of parties im plicated in this Mussulman conspiracy. Matters had proceeded so far in Poona, that arrangements had been made, and materials prepared for blowing up the arsenal. The community of that station have suffered great anxiety for several days. The authorities have disarmed the natives of the can tonment bazaar ; but left those of the city, the most to be suspected, in possession of their arms. From the principal out-stations, the women and children are being sent to Poona and Bombay under military escort. Our own city is perfectly quiet, and our citizens free from any serious apprehensions of evil. There was considerable alarm, occasioned by reports of the worst kind, at the time of the Buckree Eed ; but those who experienced it have been fully re-assured. The community have the most entire confidence in th 3 wisdom, vigilance,. and firmness of the Right lien. the Governor, who is the coin inandant of the garrison, and who has left nothing undone in the measures which he has adopted to prevent an outbreak, or to crush it the instant it should be attempted. His lordship is fuy alive to his serious responsibilities at the present cri.is. 111 has made every possible preparation for the accom modation and comfort of the additional troops ex pected from England, and has retained in Bombay her Majesty's 33d Foot, the Dake of Wellington's Regiment, just arrived from the Mauritius. India has received a blow, from the effects of which she will take long to recover—a check to her career of improvement and progress which will ra tard. her for many years to come. A large district of the country has been, as it were, sowed with salt ; public buildings and property of every kind have been destroyed ; public treasuries have been spoliated, and the sinews of national im provement, as well as of war, have bean cut ; the minds. of many have been unsettled, and affected with disloyalty; a vast multitude of precious lives have been sacrificed, and amongst these the lives of the greatest and wisest men in the land. • COMMERCIAL-0 nr money market has, during the past fortnight, become somewhat easier, and the banks'have reduced their rat3s of interest 2 per cent. all round. Government securities have not improved in value, notwithstanding the recent notification to receive one-half Four per Cent. ' paper and one-half cash, into the Five per Cent. loan. The business transacted in the export mar ket has been to a pretty moderate , extent ; and freights continue firm. CASUALTIES. Colonel Monteath, 69th Bengal N.I. ; Colonel Case, H.

THE DISTURBED PROVINCES. LAHORE, JULY 15. OFFICIAL NEWS.—Beyond the usual firing from the batteries, nothing WAS done at Delhi during the 13th. One hundred and twenty of the mutineers of the 14th N. 1., that escaped from Jhelum, have been seized in Rajah Goo!ab Singh's territories, and will be summarily dealt wi.h by the Jhelum au thorities. The men also of the 14th N. 1., who bad mad 3 their way down to Jhung, were apprehended there by the police. July 16. —The telegraphic communication down country was much imp3ded by lightning yesterday. At one of the altions the signaller's ilistrurnents were struck and destroyed., July 17.--Tho news from Delhi is that on tin I.4th. the insurgents again took up a position in the Subzie Mundec on our right, and were again driven into the city by - a poition of ourfor,:o with heavy los9. The struggle was fierce, and the mutineers are said t) have suffered more than on any former occasion. Our 10 - ;s was about 60 Europeans killed and wounded. Native troops not known Brigadiur General Chamberlain was wounded (in the arm),. and some other officers, viz., Daniell, Ist Fu-i- Hers ; Roberts, Artillery ; Walker, Bombay Engi uotrs.; Pollock, 35th ; Sh e bbeare, 60th ; De Brett, 57th ; and Hawes, of the Guards. The remnant of Sealkote mutineers met With 3oudign punishment yesterday morning. Brigadier- General Nicholson crossed her Majesty's 52d Light Infantry in boats to the island in the Ravte, on which they wore posted, captured their guns, and dlanghtered or drove the whole before them into she river. - A quintity of plunder was recovered. The 39th Native Reginamt at Debra Ismail Khan was quietly disarmed on the 14th inst. July 18.—There are no further tidings from the camp before Delhi. Private letters confirm the accounts of the heavy loss inflicted on the rebels on the 14th. From too great eagerness in the pursuit our gallant soldiers got under grape and even musketry range of the walls of the city, and our loss was, consequently, greater than it might otherwise have been-171 killed and wounded. July 20.—The cable across the Sutlej has got out of order,and there has been no telegraphic com munication with timballa for the last 36 hours. July 21.—The telegraphic communication with Umballa is again open, and by a short message re ceived yesterday there appears to have been another affair with the mutineers at Delhi on the 18th instant. Particulars are not given further than that our loss was small, and the enemy as usual driven back. They made a show of turning out on the 18th, but retired again very shortly within the city walls. • *Our troops before Delhi have now been engaged in no less than 22 conflicts with the mutineers, who have poured in from all quarters to aid the rebel cause. Tho mutineers have invariably been discomfited And forced to fly. As soldiers they have proved themselves despicable, and, whatever their num bers, they will only venture to fight from under cover. Shah Mull, a famous Jat leader, had been at tacked by a forco from Meerut, and he himself killed, and 600 of his followers. Brigadier General Nicholson proceeds at once to Delhi with large reinforcements, both European and Native. (Signed) R. R. MONTGOMERY, Judicial Commissioner.

The following message from General Ha,velOck to the Commander-in-Chief in Bengal, dated 20th July, was supplied by Government to the Calcutta press, and appears in the papers of the 23d July : " General Havelock has retaken Cawnpore, de feating Nana Sahib in person, and taking two siege guns. The news previously received of the massa cre of the garrison is too true, and the twenty-five ladies whom Nana Sahib retained as hostages, on allowing the remainder to go into the boats, were murdered by him a few days previous to General Havelock's arrival, and their bodies thrown down the well of the assembly rooms, from whence, at the time of the general's letter being despatched, ' they were being taken up and buried. "Nana Sahib's followers appear to be deserting. • him. He has fled from Bithoor, which was occu pied yesterday without resistance. Thirteen guns were found in the place. His palace is in flames. General Neill has joined me with a strong rein forcement of British soldiers. Lucknow quite safe for the present." In the papers of the 24th July, the following message from General Havelock to the Commander in -Chief, dated 21st idem, is published : " CAMP CAWNPORE. "I am free to cross the Ganges. Nana Sahib's force at Bithoor is entirely dispersed. We have brought from the place 16 guns and a number of animals, 'set fire to his palace, and blown up his poWder magazine. A portion of my troops and five guns are already in position at the head of the road to Lucknow. The whole army is full of hope that we shall soon be united on the left bank." " CAMP CAWNPORE. "We had a little sharp work coming up to thin place ; the first at Vuttelipon., where we had nine 12-poundor guns opposed to us; as well as two 24- pounder ones, but by the will of Divine Providence we took the whole from the insurgents without a single scratch among the Europeans ; but as for the N. I. Cavalry I cannot speak well. They had seven of their men cut up, wheh was their own fault, as they did not charge although the order W6S given three times, and when they did charge among the enemy they fired their carbines over their heads. They are all now disbanded, so we have no more trouble with fellows of this kind. "The second encounter we had was 20 miles on this side of Futtehpore, where we had 17 Lilted and wounded, but the enemy lost four times as many. Therewe took four guns, - and the, same evening we had another brush with them at Pan doe Nuddy,' where we took three 14-pounder guns with Out any loss of life amongst us, but only five or six wounded. The fourth and last fight we had was about two miles out of, Cawnpore, where we took seven large 24-pounder guns and howitzers. We had very severe firing from the fo:t of the enemy from two p.m. till seven p.m., when we had in killed and wounded about 150 Europeans and Sikhs. The loss of the enemy we cannot tell, but we afterwards came across a house where 300 sowers and sepoys lay wounded, and we saw a tank full of dead bodies. We had to encoun ter about 12,000 of the enemy with only 2,000 Eu ropeans and Sikhs ' • the latter behaved most eel lastly, and lost ten killed and wounded. The same evening of this affair we encamped outside of Cawn pore, and next morning we entered the town straight to where we heard that 175 ladies and chit- were confined, but en our arrival there, awful, awful to behold, there was all their clothes, &e., strewn about the blood-stahled ground. The .place was a paved court-yard,_and there were two inches of blool upon the pavement; and from the report we got from the residents of the place it appears that after we had beaten the enemy the evening previous, the sepoys and sowers entered the place where the poor victims were, and killed all the ladies, and threw the children alive, as well as the dead bodies, into a well in the come ound. I saw it, and it was an awful sight. It appears from the bodies we . saw that the women were stripped of their clothes before they wore murder ed. We have picked up three [women who bad fled and were protected by a native. We lost poor S. Carr, he was shot dead from his horse in a charge we had to make among 300 to 500 infantry. After he fell, poor fellow, he was hacked about the head to such an extent that we could hardly reeog u ise him. The moul vie of Allaliabad was killed at Fu t toper() by our shot. Yesterday we went with a small force into Bithoor, whore the Nana Saheb was, and walked into his palace without firing a shot. We fired the whole of the place, and burnt the whole of his houses and property and took 15 gnus from there. The Nana has drowned himself, with his family. He had an intention of going to Lucknow, but when he got as far as the river, the cavalry and infantry deserted him. They are all gone off, after destroying their arms, to 'their different homes. CaWnpore is now as quiet at Allababad.'" " From Gen. Neill, Allahabad, dated July 16. "1 stetted 227 bf the 84th Regiment, partly in bullock vans ; they are to march 26 miles in a night to reach in five days, and shall overtake the 84th and move up with them ; I will go on before them if I can. I shall lose no time. The muti neers are out of caps and have converted all the detonators into matchlocks. A Kossid. from Luck now declares the mutineers there are in want of shot, firing stories from the guns. " News has been received that Sir Henry Law rence was wounded on his return from an attack on the rebels advancieg on Lucknow, on the 2d inst., and that he stink_ under the effects of his wounds on the 4th inst. " It is reported from Lucknow (on the 10th July) that the attacks of the are less frequent, and more feeble, than heretofore." Since the foregoing was in type, we (Poonah, Ob server) have received the following list of casualties in the 78th Highlanders from an authenfc source : KILLED. Privates T. Thorpe, No. 3 Company, shot through the heal ; S. Law•rai:ce, No. 4.Company, struck on th© head by a round shot ; Pitcairn, shot through the abdomen. WOUNDED.

Q u artermaster -Sergeant Tulloeh; Privates Giles, and Menzies, Grenadier Company, and F. Ste - watt Light Company, all on the 11th July. The following is an extract of a letter from Nag' pore, dated 27th July : " The Kamptee Field Force arrived at &one° on the 22d, and halted there until until the 26th,: to enable the D Company of Artillery to join them. They were then to push on to Jubbulporc,' restore order there, and then (Major Erskine ae companying them) to proceed to Saugor and Jlian - , si. All is quiet at Jubbulpore as regards the Ben" gal corps there, who are supposed to be staunch to the back-bone, to use the favourite Bengal phrroe• Some of the Zemindars about Jubbulpore are gilt" jag trouble, and will be the first to receive the re ward of their misdeeds." An officer writes from Allahabad as follows on the 29th of July :—" Havelock's force left Allaha bad on the evening of the 7th, the rain pouring down in torrents ; and after it ceased raining the heat of the sun became so intense that several of the force were smitten down by sun stroke. Of the 78th three died from this cause, viz., Quarter master Sergeant Tulloch and Privates Gibbs 04 Menzies, of the Grenadiers. When the brigade were about 50 or 60 miles from this ,they found the enemy drawn up in great numbers, and °cow pering a strong position to oppose the further pro' gress of our little force. Before the action coal' menced; General Havelock addressed the 78th thus—' Highlanders, when we were going to Mohamreh, I promised you a field-day. I could not give it you then, as the Persians ran awaY.,..; but, Highlanders, we will have it to-d a y, an d let them see what you are made of.' At it then they went, and our men did show them what they ware made of, for after several hours' hard fighting Ma i rebels fled, and our fellows charged and capture d 11 guns at the point of the bayonet, together with some ammunition and treasure. Af t er this affair, the brigade recommenced their march, and coming across the scoundrels a second time, gave them battle, dispersed them, and captured four more guns. When within six miles Of Cawnpore , they came across - the enemy a third time, drawl' up for battle, and again fought them, but this was the hardest fight of any they had hitherto engaged in. The mutineers, however, fled, after a 'fierce encounter, leaving us in possession of the field, and 1.4 guns ; we cut the rebels up fearfully, and might have done still greater execution, if we bad any cavalry that could be relied upon. After the action was over, General Havelock disarmed and di's' mounted the native cavalry, and made coolies of them for refusing 'to charge when ordered. -ft is likely they will be hung. General Havelock gay our men great praise for their bravery that day. , " Upon the Highlanders and our old f r i en ds and fellow-campaigners, the 64th, fell the brunt of the battle, but the 64th suffered most. Everything i; quiet in this place, but we are all on the a lert au' prepared for an atteck, as there is every reason to apprehend one from the inhabitants, who do no t ' seem to relish the summary manner in which we hang numbers daily. Our regiment is scattered a" over the province." The following is taken from a very interesting letter dated Cawnpore, the 18th of July, from t he pen of an officer of the gallant Ist Madras Fusiliers' It gives a full account of the proceedings of th e regiment during an eventful period : "As we aro to have a quiet day to-day I will VI and write a somewhat longer litter than usual. As I told you in my last letter (11th), and a s N . had expected all along, we found the rebels in po' sition at Futteypore, with 12 guns. On SundaY' the 12th instant, we arrived within two miles e; their position, ar about seven o'clock ; I NV' l sent out with a patty of our men (Ist Mad Fusiliers, to reconnoitre, but when we had * 1 vauced about half a mile from the camp they eor n i i menced firing on us with their heavy elms, an their cavalry came towards us. We fired on then'/ but as our party consisted' of about 60 men, isr° r f a treated leisurely towards the camp. As soon ' we got there the whole force was' under aril This was about 7 o'clock, a.m. We now a,dvair e g regularly against them, and in about three ho urs we drove them from their position, took 12 and drove them from Futteypore Pell-nle"6 If we had only had scene cavalry we could ha v e cut them nearly all up; We halted the side of Futteypore that day, and also the ne ea morning.

"On Thursday we marched rgainst the enein . ,l about 6,000 strong, and who were in position ah.,G; t five miles from Cawnpore, and this was the 110°, 4 day's work we ever had.
