second-class ose), only left Ferozepore on the 10th, and cannot be at Delhi before Sept. God grant that somehow or other we may finish the place without being prostrated by the sickly season ; that is still our great danger. Bat the army has been blessed with wonderful health ; there is still very little sickness, and, with abun dant supplies, tolerable comforts, and constitutions appa rently inured to heat ou r men do not complain. We have heard nothi ng o f Gen. Havelock or Sir P. Grant since the former marched for Lucknow, but our hope is that they must now be now advancing from Cawnpore. If, as has been proposed, a Punjab or Ghoorka regiment be sent to Meerut, I believe that there will be no diffi culty in making an end of Vice-King Waleedad of Boolandhaha and recovering the Daab. If we can clear It from this side while the Europeans advance from be low we shall be decidedly in an improved position—the Delhi mutiny will be insulated, our communications will be opened, and we shall again have a small North-West* government of our own instead of acting in an enemy's country. _ . . Here and throughout the Punjab things are wonder fully quiet, and the destruction of the last regiments which ventured to mutiny has been complete and effect ive, although, in the case of the last disarmed regiment, recourse was had to severities which would frighten quiet Bognehmen. Nothing in the whole history of the mu tiny is more remarkable than the strange flight of the 26th Native Infantry, rot to Delhi ; they did not even take that direction, but, unarmed and apparently with out hope or plan, into the centre of a hostile country, where, at 20r. per head, they were killed like so many rats. "The hostility of the Punjabees to Poorbeas (Hindoos) deal not necessarily imply loyalty to us ; but as yet they have certainly been with us, and have been doing us ex tremely good service. It will be strange indeed if, with the recentlyconcinerel Punjab, we reconquer Hindostan. The policy followed is to trust and indulge the Sikhs. Hindostanees are ejected from all office, and everything is given to Panjabees. It is trusted they will thus be sa titfled with so many loaves, will not think of independ ence, and hereafter form a trustworthy army. The only difficulty in the Punjab is money. All civil employes and all military servants upon whom the experiment can be safely tried are to be kept six months in arrears of pay. In truth we are attempting to reconquer India with the resources of the Punjab, a task to which it is not equal ; and that money has not been raised on any terms and sent up from Bombay is another instance of want of appreciation of the crisis from which very dan gerous consequences may follow. " As regards the North-West Provinces, I trust you will hear more from below of districts regained than we yet know. Rohilcund and all the country below Meerut are still as much strange enemy's countries as ever were the steppes of Russia. But we believe that as soon as we have available forces there will be little popular opposition. So we do now hope that the work of re organisation will soon commence. It is certain that the whole Agra Government must be made Non-Regu lation and governed somewhat upon Puojab prin. oiplee, for some years at least. It is like a country over which a deluge has passed. All our old land marks and institutions are completely washed away, and We shall commence upon a tabula rasa. There will be every opportunity for the formation of a model adminis tration and the clearing away of the vast Regulation net work will greatly facilitate the gradual introduction of new codes and systems. There will be very much to be done, and, to supply the place of the massacred and the incompetent, Government must speedily prepare a large reinforcement Of civil servants. In justice to the army, the system of recruiting the civil ranks from it must be wholly put an end te. Men may now be transferred for good to the other service, but for the future there must be nothing of the kind, "To remodel the army is a task still more difficult and more pressing. We must have many native troops, and the financial difficulties will be hard enough without the aggravation of paying the vast number of unemployed officers of the Indian army, in addition to another set of officers with European troops sent from England. My own impression is, that in future the normal' employ ment of all our officers must be with European troops, or with a few regiments of natives who submit to a thorough European discipline, and are as filly officered, drilled, and looked after as Europeans, and that all other native regiments must be commanded by selected men and effective naive officers. If this be so, the sootier the ha ter some amalgamation of the Queen's and Company's armies is arranged, and the Company's officers set to do duty with European regiments arid learn Europea❑ dis cipline. So much in the meantime, in the first hope that the tide is turning. It will be time enough to go into more details when the waters have somewhat receded and the land begins to appear. " P.S. General Wileon does well at Delhi, but it is feared that his health is failing. We twist, indeed, trust that be will hold out, for there is not another man to command, literal), not one."

TRIAL TRIPS OF THE TYNE AND GRENADA STEAM SHIPS.—SOUTHAMPTON, Thursday. —T wo trial trips hae, taken place to-day which excited great interest in shipping circles. The Royal Mail Company's steamship Tyne, which it will be remembered was stranded on Kimmeridge Ledge, near Sr. Alban Head, last winter, and lay therefor a couple of months, but was eventually got off, has since been thoroughly restored to her former condition under the skilful supervision of Captain Vincent (the compa n y' s superintendent) and Mr. R. Ritchie (their superintendi ng, engineer), and is about to resume her station betw een S mthampt - in and the Brazil,. At the measured mile, in Stokes Bay, she made four runs, with the following results :—Average speed 13i knots ; revolutions, 21a ; pressure of steam, 201 b ; draught of water forward, 14ft. 4in, ; aft, 14ft. &in ; 300 tons of coals on board. A mong the company present were Captain Liott (the chair man of the Board Of Management), Captain Vincent, Lieutenant O'Reilly (Deputy Admiralty Superintendent of Mail Packets), Captain &rat, Mr. Ritchie, &I. Tbe Grenada, a new screw steamship recently built and fitted at Messrs. Summer's yard at Northam for the Penin sular and Oriental Company, was also tested at the measured niil-, the results being as under : —Draught forward, 10 f'. 5 in. ; ditto, aft, 12 ft. 2 in. ; mean draught, 11 ft. 3 in. ; nominal horse power, 160 ; horse power indicated, 695'8 ; revolutions of eagiees per inch, • minute, 65 ; pressure per square 181 b. ; vacuum, 26 inches ; average speed of four runs, 11 741 knots. There was an abundance of steam, and the engines worked admirably. The Grenada is fitted with Llinb and Sunamere's patent boilers and inverted cylinders direct. Mr. De Salis (one of the directors), Captain Engledue (the company's superintendent at this port), Captain Ramsay (admiralty Superintendent of Ma 1 Packets), Mr A. Lamb, Mr. W. Summers, and several other scientific gentlemen, were on board. Everything connected with the working of both vessels was of the most satislactery character. Messrs. Hughes and Luke (Admiral Surveyors), and Messrs. Rubie and Murray (Surveyors to the Board of Trade), were present at each trial, the two ships keeping in company, and those gen.' tlamen leaving one vessel for the other as they respec tively passed the ordeal of the measured mile.

Public attention is now concentrated on Luck now, Cawnpore, Delhi, and Agra. There is a fearful interest felt in every particle of intelligence respecting the proceedings at these points. We anticipate with horror the contingency of 1,000 Englishwomen and children falling into the power of miscreants of the NANA SAHIB class—possibly of that incarnate demon himself ! The fate of the gallant and devoted garrison, deprived of their illustrious leader, Sir HENRY LAWRENCE, and subsequently of his energetic successor, Major BANKS, but still bravely con:;endingt against ove.- whelming odds, would alone be sufficient to ex :its our deepest sympathies. But that of the non combatants —of helpless females, of innocent babes, becoming victims, is absolutely mad dening. The atrocities already perpetrated by fiends in human shape, suincient!y in dicate the probable consequences. The ravages of pestilence and famine . add to the horrors by which they are surrounded, and the faintest rumour is eagerly grasped at. The miraculous efforts of HAVELOCK and his devoted band failed in conveying the relief so urgently required, and the last retreat on Cawn pore, indispensable as it wam, would seem to have sealed their fats. There is still, however, a gleam of hope, a faint spark of light glimmering through the darkness. There is a report, to which we alluded yesterday, that the garrison hail so far profited by the efforts of HAVELOCK as to obtain fresh supplies, which would enable th©m to hold out a little longer, " perhaps," until assistance arrived. There was also a possibility that Jung Bahadoor, better known in this country as the Nepaulese Ambassador, although disgusted with the red-tapism of Lord CANNING and the contu melious rejection of his noble proposition, might have advanced with his faithful Goorkhas to the rescue, and saved the devoted garrison and the unfortunate fugitives. Sir JAMES OUTRAM might also have been enabled to push up, as it was said he intended, by the Gcomtee or the Gogra, and to attack the rebels in another direction, or it was possible that aid might come from Delhi itself after its capture by the avenging army ; or HAVELOCK, restored by a brief rest, might possi bly again resume his victorious march. The a, however, are but chances, and until the result is positively ascertained, until authentic ictailigence is received of the safety or de,truction of the be leagured city, the first thought of every heart must still be directed towards Lucknow. Cawnpore demands our next attention. There even HA TELOCK himself is is jeopardy. O ppresse d by the overwhelming force of numbers, with sick and wounded, and his heroic band reduced to less than one-half of their former strength, he was compelled to stand on the defensive. But we may augur favourably from what already has occurred. Those who have gained a dozen victories within thrice as many days, while enduring almost unparalleled fatigue, will not sac s umb to any:odds that can be brought against them. We may feel curiosity to know the results, but we have no fear. HATELogit will save his men, and live to reap the rich rewards lavished by a grateful country. We have referred to Delhi in another leader. Its fate cannot long be deferred. Retributive justice will speedily teach a painful but salutary lesson to Hindostan, and especially to all who have participated in the fearful atrocities committed in the stronghold of the insurgents. To all who have shown mercy, mercy may be extended. The hand of justice will press lightly on those who have exhibited gratitude to their former benefactors, or compassion to the afflicted. Those who have protected women and children — and there have been some who have done so— will receive rewards, although compromised by their conduct in other respects. Those who have de fended their officers, or assisted in their escape, will also be regarded with favour, notwithstanding offences of a secondary character. But the full measure of wrath will be poured forth on those who have no redeeming points to refer to. Fearful have been their crimeq, and fearful, indeed, will be the inevitable chastisement. Agra appears to be tolerably safe. There are ample supplies both for the garrison and the refugees, and that is all that is required. We can trust to even a small body of Englishmen when entrusted with the sacred duty of protecting those who could not protect themselves. Besides, they were enabled to maintain communications with the camp before Delhi, and instant aid would be despatched on any pressing emergency. The arrival of Sir COLIN CAMPBELL will, we trust, effect a change at head-quarters. Sir PATRICK GRANT was fettered by routine. He had all the will, but not the power to rid himself of the incubus by which ho was oppressed. We do not, however, anticipate that the same tricks will be attempted against the Crimean hero that were practised on the Com pany's officer. Sir Court will be the Com mander-in-Chief, or nothing ; he will not tolerate the interference of a civilian in matters that come under his control, and for which he is justly responsible. Looking to the proceedings at the Government House, can we wonder at the anxiety manifested by the independent inhabitants of Calcutta to get rid of Joni, COMPANY, and to have the Indian empire placed under the direct authority of Queen VICTORIA and her MAJESTY'S Government. Several men of mark have just been favouring the public with speeches on India. We naturally look with interest to what may be said by Mr. RALPH OSBORNE and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Sir E. B. LYTTON, and Mr. DISRAELI, and Lord PAN MITRE, to wind up all ; yet we must own that whether from Members of the Cabinet, or of the Ministry, of the Opposition, or the independent supporters of Government, we gather but little worthy of distinct notice. Mr. R. OSBORNE met his constituents to celebrate in the orthodox English style his victory at Dover, and might have been expected to let out a little of the in tentions of Government—but no, he was not in the Cabinet and knew nothing ; although the Secretary to the Admiralty, Mr. DISRAELI would say, ought to know something ; and we think Mr. DISRAELI /3 right ; the plain fact of the exul ia tion with which the Shannon and the Pearl were received at Calcutta ; the fact, too, that Lord ELGIN left them behind him, and that four hun dred of these brave sailors are already moving on to Allahabad—a Naval Brigade who will be sue-e enough to maintain the reputation of that new arm of British warfare, sufficiently supports Mr.. DISRAELI'S view, that a few more frigates might with the greatest advantage have been sent up the , Hooghly. It seems also unaccountable, that wt.: have heard nothing of gunboats for the now over-- flowing rivers of India. Mr. OSBORNE, in deed, showed such marked reserve, that Mr. HUGESSBN rather warmly called him to account for " reticence." The collision between the speakers brought out, however, only a few spark of wit or humour, no light for the country. Lord PANAIURE also, though discoursing to hi.s fellow commissioners and justices of the peace for the county of Forfar, over which he presides a& Lord Lieutenant, gave not a single hint of what was in the minds of our administrators. He confined all his eloquence to advocating the cause of contribution for the sufferers. It would be somewhat reassuring to hear from the Secretai y of State for War, his Rtatementa of what ha I. been done, and of what he thought yet remained. to be done, and of the results ho expected. He may perhaps allege that we know pretty well all from the published accounts of the move ments of our troops; but we all like state ments on, authority ; besides all Lord PANMI7RE did, or could well say on the contentious motto'', we also knew before. Lord JOHN RUSSELL could be expected b say but little ; he was at a ragged school meeting, and his school he kept, only expressing his hope of affairs being speedily re trieved in India, and of our using victory with moderation as well as justice. Mr. OSBORNE like Mr. VERNON SMITH demand that Delhi should be razed. Mr. DISRAELI like L.rd J. RUSSELL is afraid we should be too vin dictive. We certainly think there is no need for apprehension on that ground. The tendency or the English mind is altogether to the side of lenity. We much more fear that the examplo should not be made sufficiently terrible, than the contrary. We shall certainly not imitate NANA SAHIB. Oux soldiers and sailors could not slaughter unarmed men, and helpless women and babes, much less torture them. As to Delhi, let the citizens fairly disprove all complicity with the mutineers, and we would spare their lives and their property too ; but one thing is certain—that while the mu tineers were yet few, they stripped our country men's daughters, exposed them in the public mar ket place, caused them to be insulted in the most revolting manner, intentionally fixed the deepest pang they could in the bosoms of their English re lttives at home—indeed we have reason to believe dishonoured them to death. All Delhi saw this done. Delhi did not interpose. Delhi saw all England insulted with the bitterest of insults, in the persons of these young females, and Delhi stands accused of abetting not only horrid tortures and murders, but the lastof dishonours to our na tion. Let Delhi disprove the accusation, and it will be sufficient retribution, then perhaps to level all its Royal buildings, wad to erect on them at the cost of the inhabitants, a monument to their own eternal infamy, with a suitable inscription in all the languages of India. But if the city be as guilty as tine suppose it to be, then we do say that not one stone should be left upon another, that the inhabitants who were not deserving of death, should be permitted to remove elsewhere, and build a, now town, or resort to others, but that Delhi Pait on an obelisk, should be all that remained of this vast but guilty city. Let all Asia as well as In dia know that England could pardon, if it becea le her, but that she could never pardon wrongs d( ,ne to her helpless ones, the public dishonour rat, d cruel butchery of her women- A.city where w ach deeds could be done ought no longer to exist. The reinforcements 114 ye now begun to arri'Pe. The avenging stream of indignant soldiers has begun to move along the course of the rebels. Delhi even may have fallen by this time ; and if slowly, yet as irresistibly as a lava stream will our soldiers move onward. They will march with the consciousness of the noblest inspiration that ever animated men and Englishmen ; and we should not be at all surprised if the mutiny col lapsed almost at once. As soon as the wretches, now fighting with the discipline, arms, and am munition we have given them, know that some forty thousand of their last and invincible con querors are really landed and advancing on them, every miscreant among them will be but too glad to flee, if he can, and if that be impossible, to protest on his knees, and with hands uplifted to heaven, that he was forced into mutiny against his will. Some regiments, hopeless of mercy, and knowing themselves to have sinned beyond for giveness, may prefer facing our cannon and our rifles to being hung on the nearest tree. But as for the majority, we should be by no means sur prised to hear that, when once sure that we meant to remain lords of India, the difficulty will be to find a regiment of them together. Some grave punishment, however, must await all the muti neers. The lives of those who have not murdered their officers, or fired a gun against the English, may, indeed, be spared, but even simple mutiny at such a crisis as this must be visited with out lawry or slavery—perhaps, as one writer suggests, with slavery in the West India Islands. Of course only for this generation. Any how, we must get rid of some seventy thousand muti neers, and also of the villains they have liberated from gaol. ITALIAN OPERA .BUFFA. Mr. Mitchell gave us in the past summer the Bouffee Parisiennes, who attained the highest degree of popu larity at the St. James's Theatre. He has now deter mined to produce, at the same fashionable house, an Opera Buffa Italiana, carrying out the design of the Turin manager, Signor D. Ronzaci. This novel species of entertainment will be presented to the public next month, commencing on 3d of Nov., and will be conti nued throughout the winter until the ensuing Lent. The list of vocalists embraces the following names, all favourably known to fame in the chief cities of Italy, Naples, Rome, Florence, Turin, Milan, &c. :— First Sopranos—Amalia Fumagalli and Luigia Ce relli. First Tenors—G. Daniele and Enrice Georgetti, Contralto—Mezzo Soprano : Luigia Tamburini. First Baritones—Carlo Bartolucci and Luigi Full) a galli. First Buffi—Giuseppe Ciampi and Ninno Conti (the celebrated Neapolitan Punchinello). First Bass—Cesare Castelli. From Mr. Mitchell's recognised managerial tact and experience, there can be little doubt that this contem plated attraction will prove to be a " grand success." HAYATARKET THEATRE. " The Wonder" was revived last night, with Mrs. Catherine Sinclair in the character of Violante, and Mr. 'Henry Sedley, a debutanE in London, in that of Don .Felix. Mrs. Sinclair's personation of the heroine was graceful and lady-like, combining gaiety with energy and feeling. Mr. Sedley is an actor of merit, and pro wises to be an acquisition to the London stage. He has a good person, possesses the ease of a practised perfor mer, and shows intelligenco and animation. Tiiis famous old comedy, which, from its clever plot and rapid succession of incidents, is more entertaining than many works of much greater literary pretensions, was, on the whole, exceedingly well acted, and went off wiLh great spirit ; Colonel Briton being performed by Howe, Lissarcio by Compton, Isabella by Miss M. Oliver, and the two rival chambermaids, Flora and Ines, by Mrs. E. Fitzwilliam and Miss Lavine. The house was crowded. Mr. Sedley and Mrs, Sinclair were received with distinguished favour, and the whole performance was warmly applauded. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SEPT. 30.

The Lord Mayor apologised for the absence of the sword and mace, and hoped that they would arrive in half an hour, but trusted chat business might proceed with its usual punctuality without their attendance. In due course the sword and mace arrived in grand state, much to the amusement of the Common Councilmen.

A large number of students have become connected with the schools, and at the various hospitals where the lectures were delivered there was a good attendance, and the lectures excited deep interest.

THE INDIAN FETE AT CHENIORNE. —The number of visitors at Cremorne Gardens on the occasion of the re• cent fete generously given by the proprietor, Mr. T. B. Simpson, in aid of the funus for the relief of sufferers by the disturbances in India, was accidentally exag gerated in our notice of it, in consequence of an etro• neous impression which prevail-jai in the grounds on that point. In a few days we shall be able to state the results of the fete as returned to the c rnittee by Mr. Simpson, and have now merely to say that the number present amounted to something like 3,000. Notwitn :tanding the lateness of the season, and the unpropitious :tate of the weather, it is expected that the money to be banded over to the committee will exceed 3001., a result which must be looked upon as h.ghly satisfactory. Firm—Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, a firs happened in the premises belonging to Messrs. J. Black ourn and Sons, mat and bag dealers, One Swan-yard, Bishopegate.street without. At the time of the ( ut tbirgeuaokusa b un ldinge r s. of Warren, r r s r e e s n nt the e poultry t w o e r r o e n f th t e h R e o c y c a ; Society's fire escape, upou being called broke open three doors, and succeeded in saving four valuable horses and 60 fowls. The engines of the parish and four of the L , ndon Brigade attended, and a good supply of water having been procured the firemen went to work, but they were unable to get the flames extinguished until the waif) ouses and all they contained were destr eyed, Tire sufferers were insured in the Pnceoix Fire-office. SALE OF Da JOHNSON'S CHAMBERS.—Yesterday a sale of considerable interest took place, by direction of the Benchers of the Inner Temple, when the building materials of chambers, formerly occupied by Dr. John son, on the first fl for of No. 1, Inner Temple lane, %ere offered to public competition by Messrv. Hammond and Eiloart. The auctioneer announced, at the commence ment of the proceedings, that the celebrated "Dr. Johnson staircase" was withdrawn from the sale, the Benchers having determined to retain possession of the staircase from the entrance to the first floor, the wains coting, banister, &c., and the carved wood over the door, with pilasters, &c., forming the external doorway, and would keep them as long as the Temple existed, although they were obliged to be removed from their present position. The boarded and timber floor, on which the learned doctor and his literary friends had so often walked, with tla,, windows, doors, moulded panel partition, &c., sold at 101. Si. A Vienna letter says :—" We learn that before the departure of Count Buol for Carlsbad, there was a sort of conference among our representatives at London, Paris, and other Austrian diplomatists. Count d'Appeny, ambassador at London, has been here for .some days ; Baron Hubner, ambassador at Paris, summoned by telegraph, has arrived ; and Want d'Esterhazy, our re presentative at St. Petersburg, has been here for some time. It is thought that this conference has been caused by the interview of Stuttgard, and by the .possibility that in it the question of the Principalities and the affairs of Italy will be discussed."—At the time the above letter was written, the writer was most probably not aware of the projected interview between the Em perors of Russia and Austria at Weimar. It was pro bably that important circumstance which led to the diplomatic conference in question. NEW MAIL FOR LONDON.—We understand the ar rangements for carrying a mail to and from Cork by tee Pacific steamer have been completed, and on and after the 31 of October nex letters will be despatched from our Post office twice a week by that mode of conveyance, and, of c .urse, vice versa by the return boats. Dclive ries will be made at all the stations along the line of the South Wales and Great Western Railways up to London. 0611 Examiner. SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. I:—The European and American Company's steamship Jason, Captain Britton, left tbis morning for New York, with upwards of 400 passengere (principally steerage), a ship-letter mail, and large cargo. The Calcutta, Capt. 131adirnore, belonging to the same company, sailed hence yesterday evening for Cork, where she is to take in the 51st Regiment for convey ance to Indio. THE PACIFIC,—By the arrival at Southampton of the West India steamer Parana we bave files of Panama papers to Sept. 7. From Chili the news is of vary little interest. Tne new Ministry had not been named, and the Liberal party, both in Congress and through the press, demanded certain reforms, which 'the Govern ment appeared unwilling to yield. The death of the son of the President and the illness of his wife had, to a cer tam extent, restricted the political movements. There is nothing of importanCe from the Republic of Bolivia. Congress had assembled. Tne ravages of the fever had decreased, and the silver mines of Potosi were proving very remunerative. The news from the seat of war in Peru is most unsatisfactory ; nothing had really been done either towards putting down the revolution or sub verting the Government. THE INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.—Itie only fair to the authorities of the General Post-office to state that it was no fault of theirs that the Overland India and China mails did not arrive in London in time 013 Wednesday and yesterday morning to despatch the country portion by the day mail trains. The General Post office male the same admirable arrangements as tney di.' for the preceding mail. A special mail boat was by order in waiting at Calais en Wt-dnesday and Thursday morning at 2.30, and'special trains were ordered ht Dover to convey the mails to London ; but as in the one case so in the other, the mail trains from Marseilles did not arrive in Paris on Wednesday and Thursday morning until after the regular London marl train bad started ; the In dia mails therefore on both occasions did not reach Calais until 4 o'clock, and at that time only by taking a special train from Douai to Calais. On Wednesday morning the Imperial mail packet Queen embarked the 17 boxes of the Bombay mail at the Quai de Maree within about 20 minutes of the arrival of the special train, and the vessel, starting at dead low-water (the harbour being in the beat condition), ran acyoss to D rver in 1 hour and 36 minutes. The mail was lande,d and in the train in ten minutes, and the mail was at the London-bridge station within 1 hour and 45 minutes from that time. Yester day morning there were 44 boxes of Calcutta and China mails, and it having been deemed advisable not to risk remaining e in Calais harbour, the boxes had to be em barked in the roads. This operation occupied 36 minutes when the steam-packet Queen ran to Dover again in 1 hour and 36 minutes ; but the boxes had to be fended at the Admiralty pier, and therefore the train was not off until 26 minutes had elapsed, at. 6.26 a.m., when it ran up to London with as much despatch as on the pre vious morning. SEPOY ATROOITIES.—A. correspondent, writing from Ferozepore on the 24th Juiy, regarding the mutiny at Sealkote, says :—" Smale of the European women were vio lated, and other a' rocities dominitted. We shall never hear publicly of half the villanies perpetrated by these Poorb heas throughout tho country. In Delhi, they ripped open a pregnair. European woman nearly at her full time, took the child, and bound it on the back of a hog, whi c h was driven about the streets. Surely the Mussultnan fanatics must have been guilty of this bloody d ee d . The regiments which mutinied at Sealkote were the 46th N.I. and 9th Light*Cavalry. The former has ben annihilated by H. Dl ' s 52(1 foot, a , d tho men of th e latter have been nearly all captured or destroyed. The left wing of H. M.'s 61st Foot will leave this in a few days for Delhi, and will be probably relieved to-morrow by the Bombay Fusiliers,—Front Ote Home Mail. LAr_IPENT NEWS WEIMAR, THURSDAY, OCT. 1.

VIENNA, FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 2. The Vienna Gazette says—" W hen the Emperor Francis Joseph called on the Emperor Alexander at Weimar the latter went to meet his Majesty on the staircase. Having embraced and kissed each other, their Majesties conferred for some time together," TRIESTE, OCT. 1. News from Constantinople of the 26th September announces an approaching rearrangement of the diplomatic service in Turkey. It is well known that Prince Callimaki is to relinquish the embassy at Vienna. Schamyl having made prisoner of the Governor of Khanatz, an emeute broke out in that district. The Russians have imposed upon the Kazimauck rebels a tax of 10,000 roubles. • The rise in the exchanges continues, but paper money has decreased in value to the extent of 20 per tent., and the civil list quotations to the extent of 50 per cent. The national poverty is extreme, and mention is made of certain commercial failures. Despatches have been received in Paris from the French Minister in China. They represent the situation of affairs as unfavourable, and announce positively that the Court of Pekiu will not agree to any arrangeinent. According to letters from Athens of the 24th September, the exportation of cereal crops has been authorised by the Greek Government in conse quence of the abundance of the harvest. THE MEETING F THE EMPERORS AT STUTTGARDE. ----- STUTTGARDT, SEPT. 29. The general resume of the information I have been able to collect with reference to the nature of this meeting and its political results amounts to this : the two Emperors have had the satisfaction of making each other's acquaintande, and of ex changing the expression of their individual views, wishes, and aspirktions, but that nothing beyond this has been obtained, except it be souse matters of so very trifling moment as not to be worth citing in connection with this event. W hat little I have learned shows me that, however much satisfacti. , n the Emperor Napoleon may have experienced at the overtures made to him, and however gratified he may be by the homage thus paid to the positi,n lie has acquired for France in Europe, and at the additionalprestige these events will give him in the eyes of his own people, he has not betrayed any in clination to jeopardise or to t .mper with the English alliance, which he looks on as fundamentally essen tial within certain limits to the well-being of France and his own stability. The idea which has been frequently expressedin the pressof late, that one ob ject of the understanding to be arrived at by the two Emperors was the reduction of both their armies, is evidently with Aut substance, inasmuch as the re duction of the Russian army to a very low peace footing (with the exception of the detached armee corps 'a the Caucasus and about the C a spi an Se-0 had already been orered, and the nature of the re ductions published in St. Petersburg, before the Em peror left, and consequently could not bs made the subject of further negotiations ; while, on the other hand, however sincerely Louis Napoleon's aphorism "L'Empire c'est la paix" may be meant with regard to foreign countries, it is highly improbable that he will, for many years to come, consent to a reduc tion of his military force. With regard to the rttirement of Count Buol from his Ministerial post, I learn that this has not as yet been conceded by the Emperor of Austria, but that there is every probability that this will be ins's:el upon by the Emperor Alexander as the condition of Russia's reconcilia.ion with Austria, and that in that case the Emperor Francis Jlseptt would in all probability comply with the condition for the sake of the result. The Emperor of Austria will not be accompanied to Weimar by Count Buol, but by General Griinne, who is a persona grata in the Emperor of Russia's eyes, while Count Buol is the reverse.—Times Correspondent. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY. SEPT. : TP. 30. The Moniteur publishes th , e ,m fo E ll T ow z, in "The Emperor dined at the Prefecture y ester day, an d afterwards went to the theatre amid the accla mations of the crowd.

His Majesty was received by the troops with unanimous cries of " Vive l'Empereur," re-echoed by the people, who thronged the streets and places round the Polygon." The Moniteur also gives the. following from the same place and of the same date : "Vhe Emperor, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Henry of the Netherlands and the persons composing his Staff, General Wedel, sent by his Majesty the King of Prussia, to own plitneut him, General Dolberg, and other officers belonging to the Prussian mission, rode out on horseback this -morning at 9 o'clock. His Majesty reviewed the garrison of Metz, commanded by Ge neral Marcy Monge,- commanding the sth division. "An immense crowd, assemble.l from the Most distant points. of the department, crowd-d the road along which his Majesty passed, and saluted him with the warmest and most enthusiastic acclama tions. "At noon the Emperor took leave of his Royal Highness and General Wedel, and continued his journey.to the camp at Chalons. "At Pout a Monsoon, Frouard, Commercy, Tout, Bar-le-Duc, and Vitry-le-Francais, the Em peter found the inhabit tnts spontaneously as sembled to congratulate him. His Majesty was the object of a perfect ovation. On arriving at five o'clock at the station of the camp at Mourmslon the Emperor was received. by General Comte it'gnaurt de Saiut-Jean-d'Au gely, all the generals of division, and several brigades which had been brought up to escort him to the Imperial quarters. " His Highness Prince Joachim Murat left the Emperor at Metz, for Berlin, 13.aring a letter from his Majesty to the King of Prussia." A telegraphic 'clt-spatch from Berlin, in the Nord, says :—" The Emperor Napoleon, after having re ceived the autograph letter from - the King of Prussia, in which that So vere i gn expresse d hi s re gret that the state of his health would not allow him to come in person to pay his respects during his stay in Germany, announced to the Prince of Prussia his intention of paying a visit to the King." Anote in the Pays, dated London, August 30, says Nana Sahib had arrived before Luckuow during the early days of August, and it was ex petted that the garrison of that place would not be able to hold out uutil reinforcements arrived.

The Espana states that the report which has been current that modifications are to be made in the territorial divisions of provinc4s is unfounded. The _hoax had been sized.

The weather was favourable for cultiva tion, and the ensuing crops presented every indica tion of an abundant yield. A project was on toot for the purpose of erecting a "patent slip" in the harbour of Kingston, and the probable cost esti mated at 25,0001. Subscriptions to a large amount had already Ueeneollec',ed.

There had been a great deal of rain during the fortnight. The Court of Policy at Demerara bad had two sittings since the last mail, but nothing particular was transacted. The prison hulk nearly foundered during a stiff breeze, and the prisoners had a nar row escape of going to the bottom; she has since been abandoned, the civil engineer reporting her to be extremely leaky, and her bottom planking so rotten asi not to bear caulking, and she is to be broken up. Trade continued dull among the mer chants. Produce came in slowly, but freights were lays scarce than they were a short time back. The Royal Gazette, of the Bth, has the following items respecting the recent gold discoveries :—" A. commission, consisting of the Hon. Dr. Blair, Sir W. LI. HUltnes, Mr. W. IL Campbell, and Mr. M'Clintock, have proceeded on a tour of explora. tion through the interior, with the view of reaching the gold mines on the river Yuruari. The three first -named gentlemen started from George Town in the revenue schooner Pheasant, and proceeded to the/river Waini, up which they ascended to the place of rendezvous, where they met Mr. Wain. tock and a strong party of Indian guides. Some Indians who came to George Town on Friday last brought intelligence that the party intended to start on the following day on their journey up the river. The commissioners purpose ascending the Waini until they come to the &raffia, up which they will proceed in their bateaux to its source. - From that point they will strike across the country to the Cuyuni, and then track up that stream to the con fluence of the Yuruari. They will ascend the latter river until they come to Tupuquen, the site of the gold mines. They are expected to return in about six weeks. A gentleman arrived in the city last week from Venezuela, bringing with him about 15 ozs. of gold. He had visited 'the mines, and re pre,ents the gold to be abundant, and the mining operations as being carried on in the most primi tive shion. 91 At Trinidad the weather was wet. 288 bags 01 coc a were shipped by the Parana. • The latest accounts from the French colony alf Martinique state that the yellow fever had not dia. app: art d among the shipping at St. Pierre. lutelligen,:e from San Domingo to the 7th Sept. had been received at St. Thomas.
