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 seen that the atrocious miscreant, NANA SAHIB, the ringleader of the cinspiracy, the murderer, nit only of the fugitives, who might have ex pected protection at his hands, but also of those who, confiding in his deceitful and treacherous promises, bad capitulated at Cawnpore, has ex piated his diabolical offences by an act of self murder—all his family, according to Eastern cus• torn, being involved in one common destruction. This is a striking example to the rebels. It shows that the man, to whom they chiefly looked as the head of th.eir confederacy, the acting chief of the future ludian.Empire, had totally despaired, and avoided impeudiug justice by an act of self-immo lation. This rests on no d lubtful authority. It is cor.tained in a despatth from the camp of the gallant HAVELOGE, 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 himself deserted by his cavalry and infantry, "he had drowned hinise 7 f with all his family." It would have been more sal,isfactory had be met the felon death he so richly merited—had the hangman's skill been called into operation. But, as it is, a great effect must necessarily be produced on the mutineers, and all their alders and abettors. It is a positive relief to the national mind to know that the career of this sanguinary ruffian has been brought to a summary conclusion. There was not a single redeeming feature in his cha racter. The blackest treachery was added to the most fiendish cruelty. His victims were those with whom he had previ ous ly associated, and for whom he professed sincere friendship—whom he actuAVy pressing them bad promi sed' to p rotect, to seek refuge in his fortress at Bithoor, where they wo uld be safe fr om an y outbreakl An d yet it was by his orders t hat they were consigned to the most horrible a nd heartrending dEstanetion. It was on the 16th July that HAVELOCK marched into Cawnpore. He had previously taken 12 guns from the rebels, after their i gno . minions flight from Futte.hpore—we can scarcely his troop s were call it an action. Oa the 15th twice again engaged, and captured four more guns; and on the 16th he recaptured alwrp)re, having totally defeated NANA SAHIB and taken six. more guns, four of them 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 SEA in dismay, and Cawnpore was re gained. There the terrible evidences of the fearful outrages that had. been committed were discovered. A whole Sale massacre had been perpetrated 1 88 officers, 190 men of her Ma- jesty's 84th Regiment, 70 ladies, 120 women 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 blond. The ►omen 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 hesiegers , of Lucknow, as NANA SAE& a fugitive troops had, after the destruc , ion of the fort at Bithoor, dispersed, after destroy- ng their arms, and, after the suicide of their Leader, to their respective homes. There could be but little doubt that the relief of Lucknow would be accomplished, as had been anticipated, on the 31st July, and that HATELOOK 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 bettor evidence is forth coming to sustain it. The news from Delhi and other quarters is in accordance with that contained in 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 nines, 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 Cormr 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 turntd against those by whom they were fed and kindly reated. TILE LO,NEON, WEON_ESDAY - RirKNING SEP',I I EM‘BEIR 16; c:1857' in no way connected with the Government, ar e willing 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 moat 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 down 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 Buckree Eed—the Ist inst. When - the officers were assembl4iin the billiard-room after mess, a Jamada r rusWiss, and gave them warning that the men were coming to fire 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 woman—her fidelity cost her her life. A number of the rebels were seized ; the rest made their way to other parts of the country. They have.since:returned, and there has been , ob stinate fighting there ; but we have not learnt the result. Belgaum,lDharwar, 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 eollector of Sattara, Mr. Rose, a man in every stespect equal to the occasion, has thought it advisable to send the ex-Ranees 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 Mohlvies of Poona and Belgaum, for the massacre of the Europeans and Christians of those stations. Letters were intercepted at the Poona post-office, which contained fulldetaile of the'conspiracy, and which enabled the authorities, tim dy advised, to shun the coming evil. The Moulvie of Poona, with several accomplices from that station, are now pri soners on board the Hon. Company's frigate Ac bar, awaiting their trial at the next criminal vs , sions, for high treason. Arrests have also been made at Belgaum and Ainnecinuggur of parties im plicated in this Mussultnan 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 the wisdom, vigilance, and firmness of the Right Hon. the Governor, - who is the com mandant of the garrison, and who has left nothing undone in the measures which ho has adopted t prevent an outbreak, or to crush it the instant it should be attempted. His lordship is fully alive to his serious responsibilities at the present crisis. Ho has made every possible preparation for the accom modation and comfort of the additional troops ex pected from England, and has retained in Bomltay her Majesty's 331 Foot, the Dake of Wellingtoa'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 re 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 no sinews of national im provement, as Ivell as of war, have been 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.

A proclamation, dated the 10th of July, has ly2en issued by the Government of India, offering rewards for the apprehension of mutineers and deserter , , or for giving information which will lead to their seizure. 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 Umballa 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. The mutineers have invariably been discomfited and forced to may. As soldiers they have proved themselves despicable, and, whatever their num bars, they will only venture to fight from under and. Menzies, Grenadier Company, and F. Stewart, 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 Seonee on the 22d, and halted there until until the 26th e to enable the D Company of Artillery to join them. They were then to push on to Jubbulpore, restore order there, and then (Major Erskine ac companying them) to proceed to Saugor and Jhan si. All issiniet at Jubbulpore as regards the Ben gal corps,there, who are supposed to be staunch to the back-bone, to use the favourite Bengal phrase. Some of the Zemindars about Jubbulpore are giv iug 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 Ailaha 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 and 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 occu pying a strong position to oppose the further pro gress of our little force. Before the action com menced, General Havelock addressed the 78th thus—' Highlanders, when we were going to Mohemreh, 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-day, and let them see what you are made of.' At it then they went, and our men did show them what they were made of, for after several hours' hard fighting the, rebels fled, and our fellows charged and capt ured 11 guns at the point of the bayonet, together with some ammunition and treasure. After - 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, drawn up for battle, and again fought them, but this Was, the hardest fight of any they bad hitherto engage° . in. The mutineers, however, fled, after a fierce encounter, leaving us in possession of the field, and 14 guns ; we cut the rebels up fearfully, and might have done still greater execution, if we had any cavalry that could be relied upon. After the action was over, General Havelock disarmed and 63' mounted the native cavalry, and made coolies of them for refusing to charge when ordered. It is likely they will be hung. General Havelock gave our men great praise for their bravery that day. , ° Upon the Highlanders and our old friends and fellow-campaigners, the 64th, fell the brunt of the battle, but the 64th suffered most. Eierything it quiet in this place, but we are all on the alert and prepared for an attack, as there is every reason I° apprehend one from the inhabitants, who do no t seem to relish the summary manner in which vr i e, hang numbers daily. Our regiment is scattered sil over the province.' The following is taken from a very interesting . letter dated Cawnpore, the 18th of July, from th e ' pen of an officer of the gallant Ist Madras Fusiliers' It gives a full account of the proceedings of'llle regiment during an eventful period : ,c As we are to have a quiet day to-day I will try and write a somewhat longer letter than usual. As I told you in my lest letter (11th), and as vre had expected all along, we found the rebels in Per ' eition at Futteypore, with 12 guns. On Sundeli the 12th instant, we arrived within two m iles 0 their position, ar about seven o'clock ; I Nye! sent out with a patty of our men (Ist Madrir, Fusiliers, - to reconnoitre, but when we had a vauced about half a mile from the camp they coe' c i menced firing on us with their heavy guns, an their cavalry came towards us. We fired on theta' but as our party consisted of about 60 men, we r e ; treated leisurely towards the camp. As so on a we got there the whole force was under arl This was about 7 o'clock, a.m. , We now adva nce regularly against them, and in about three hoar° we drove them from their position, took 12 gait and drove them from Futteypore p6ll-rn l 0 If we bad only had some cavalry we could 1 0 ‘ . cut them nearly all up: We halted the o the l side of .Futteypore that day, and also the ne.t 4 morning. On Tuesday we marched 16 ill', to Kullianpore, but did not meet with the ene o On Wednesday we marched about five mile, ae o. found the rebels in a strong position, with six ru s t We soon silenced their guns, pnd advanced agal,o them, and, after about two hours' sharp firing, 'O, thoroughly routed them, and they retreated to bridge about three miles off, where they had e i % other strong position, with 6 guns. Our Enfielde us• splendid work, and we soon silenced their skirmishingbat . I was in front with the patty all claP e We rushed up to their battery and to their bri3g4 and gun..., when they fled before us like so m an i sheep ; they really are arrant cowards. Thus ende", our day's work. Poor Major Renaud, command ie! ' our deachment, was wounded early in the ins'S r ing in the leg ; he is now better, but I fear his 1 1 will be obliged to be amputated ; he is a very gt: o laet officer. I was with him at the time, but „ 0 would not allow me to remain, but said , `G° " With your men.' "On Thursday we marched rgainst the ene° o l about 6,000 strong, and who were in position alp five miles from Cawnpore, and this was the liar, `iit day's work we ever had. They had six or e?g li t guns, in two separatebatteries. Wo advanced strat a against them, and they poured grape and 01. 105 0 shot into us, like so many h,d!stones, yet eu r ,,ea was not great, We lay down, and then ad fir e against their first battery, which was taken il l , 40 style. I want off with a small party (ab0n90,4 men) to the right flank, where the cavalrY l i 0 threatening us, and some of their infantry h a d strong position. We kept thorn at a distance t e our rifles, and once, when some of the ee;ge,re (about 500) came down upon us, we formed sq-ite4 and they did not dare come near us.

The following message from General Havelock 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 fevi 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, i n s published : CAMP CAWNPORE. - "I am free to cross the Gengei. Nana Sahib's force at Bithoor is entirely dispersed. We have brought from the place 10 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 " m the left bank." CAMP CAWNPORE. " We had a little sharp work coming up to this place ; the first at Futtehpor,?, where we had nine 12-pounder guns opposed to us, as well as two 24- pounder 'ems, 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, velizerh was their own fault, as they did not charge although the order was given three times, and when they did charge among the enemy they fired their carbines over their lards. They are all now disbanded, so we have no more trouble with fellows of this kind. " The second encounter we had was 20 m;lss on this side of Futtehpore, where wo had 17 lined and wounded, but the enemy lost four times as many. There:we took four guns, and the same evening we had another brush with them at Pan doo Nuddy,' where we took three 14-pounder guns without any loss of life amengst, 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 fort 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 gal lantly, 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 chil were confined, but on our arrival there, awful, awful to behold, there was a'l their clothes, Are., strewn about the blood-sta'ned ground. The place was a paved court-yard, and there were two inches of blood 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 w,-11 as the dead bodies, into a we',l in the cowl *rind. I saw it, and it was an awful sight. It appears from the bodies we saw that the women were stripped of their clothes berare they were murder ed. We have picked up three iwomen who had fled and were prAected 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 50) infantry. After he fell, poor fellow, he was hacked about the head to such an extent that we could hardly re - oe Dime him. The moul vie of Allahabad was killed at Fu•- tepore by our shot. Yeeterday we went with a small force into Bithoor, where 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 guns 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 oft, aft destroying their arms, to their different homes. Cawnpore is now as quiet at Allababad.'" " From Gen. Neill, Allababad, dated July 16. "I stetted 227 of 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 bef :re thane if I can. I shall lose 110 time. The muti neers are out' - of caps and have converted all the detonators into matchlocks. A Kossid from Leek now • declares the mutineers there are in want of shot, firing stones ,from the guns. " News has been received that Sir Henry Law rence was wounded on his return from an attack on the rebels advancing on Lucknow, on the 2d inst., and that ho sunk under the effects of his wounds on the 4th inst. " It i 3 leported from Lucknow (on the 10th July) that the attacks of the are less frequent, and more feeble, than heretofore."

The s'ruggle was fierce and the mutineers are said ti have suffertd more than on any former oceasi-n. Our lo3s was about 60 Europeans killed brid wounded. Native troops not known .

A qutntity of plunder was recovered. The 39th Native Regiment at Dehra Ismail LATEST 'NEWS That the Mahommedans will be found to have been at the bottom of the mutiny we have Mlle 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 perhlps never be known, or, if known, will come to light only at that distance of time when secret political counsels awl trextics no longer implicate the living. Cartain it is that our loss of Kars ; our folly in leaving the Crimea in the bands of Russia, when its occupation by the Western troop, of any of the Allies, woul have proved to Orientals who was master ; our leaving Circassia to smart beneath the gun boats iu the Black Sea, and the troops on land, of the Czart; our pc,t`y work in Ba'sarabia, in stead of transferring all that province at least t 3 Turkey ; nay, the present de!ay in 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 E npire, at the Court. of Teheran, and to the very borders, probably to the heart, of India itielf. We never committed a greater mistake in regard to India, not to say in 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 E tat to hear the tat of the finest army England ever sent forth being compelled, for so the tale woull run, t 3 evacuate• the Ru3zian 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 those of Delhi. Ono who certainly knew us well, who could speak our language, and who, having been Persian and Eeglish translator to the Board of Administration in the Puuj tb, 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, ho says :—" Tilos() wicked and consummate fools the Sepoys have spread terror and consternation through every province. Notwithstanding the special fervour with which they were treated by the British Governme , a, notwithstanding it cherished and indulged them like its own. children., paid them regularly, secured to them promotions awl pensions, aril granted them price money when on, active service, these wretches, for I will not disgrace the word men, by giving it to them, have cemmiet3d. atro - cities not to be paralleled in history, and from the idea of which the mind recoils with sickening horror." He proceeds to laineut that iu his 01.1 age, after having so hug known all that could be known of us in India, ha has to be the messenger of evil tidings, and to inform his son of the barba rities practised on Captain SKENE, 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 heur.., to pre vent their falling into the hands of Sepoys. It now appears that the case was even more painful. MEER SVED MOHITMAC3D, the. writ 3r we have quoted from, states that a wreteh whom he had relieved and taken into his service out of compas sion, liberated and armed the prisoners, forced his way into th© fort at their head, massacred every European, reserved Captain SKENE, and having butchered his wife and two lovely boys before his eyes, finally murdered him also ; and then hav ing plundered the place of all the property he could find, " made off with his accursed crew towards Delhi." We have referred, however, to his letter, prie eipally to show that those of us win demand justice on the Sepeys, and on Delhi, the nest and focus of their villany, are at least backed by !he conscience of worthy Mahommedans among the natives themsel ves . Oar " puling" humanita rians, would do well to listen to one who k 1391 his ee-religionists far b e tt er than we do. He us we ll, but who must li ne •s own countrymen w u and has not a wo rd to say for them ; rather, there is not a word w hich lie does nut say against th em . Ho feels, thoug h a Mstliominelan, th a t they baVe violated such obligations, and repaid the beA treat nent with such fiendish ingratitude, that be lieving in ALLAH and his prophet, he cannot [imagine that their faith can be a pretest for such villany. He never suggests it as au excuse. Nay, verily, we believe, that the honest man deems it profanation of his simple faith in ALLAH toallege his name in defence of their atrocities. He 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 Mahommedans 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 ever 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 be when they begin to fear that all is over with them ? We take it that they will remember what LIITFULLAH — the Mahommedan who has published his biography— knew of the Feringhees, " that they are inexorably just." Of that justice they will expect but one thing—retribution. They will feel that their's is no case for mercy. Not only that, all the natives of India would despise Christiarlity, 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 LAWIIENOES, our HATELOCKS, our NicuoLsoNs, aro 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 salutary, that no mutineer who can be proved to have partici pated in these outrages, should ever escape. We aro willing enough to show leniency when it can be shown that numbers have been led astray by a few designing men, but let this be 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, ht them perish without mercy themselves. The closing words of the Mahommedan letter are well worthy reprinting—" Should this" her says " be my last letter, I beg you never to for got 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 eommitted, and abuses have existed, and do still exist, but what human institution can boast of being exempt from them 7 Ono thing is certain — that the result of these disturbances will be art increased desire on the part of the authorities to , remove every cause cf complaint, and to introduce all the reforms and improvements required by the present system of government." A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury in Dawning street. The Ministers present were—Viscount Palmers ton, the LDId Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Ilarrowby, Sir George Grey, Mr. Secretary . Labouchere, Lord Panmure, the Cnaneellor of the Ex chequer; the Right Hon. R. Vernon Smith, and the Riget Hen. M. T. Baines. The dividends are advertised of the Peruvian DaniArs Three per Cent., Brazilian Five per Cent., and Ceiiieu Six per Cent. loans. THE CHOLERA--The cholera has broken out at Hain bete:. Between the 29th of August and the 6th of September, there were 239 cases, of which 136 proved, fatal. The saving to the Exist India Company by the mutiny - • and desertion of each Bengal regiment, of 1200 sep)ye strong, will be about 300)0/. per month. Sonic fifty re giments have disbanded themselves, and the ccinpany will have therefore saved., at the end of August, nearly half a million of money in the pay of sopoys, non-com missioned officers, &c. Although the increase of the Rest in the last Beek return showed a surplus over the usual limit of 3,000,0001., which would admit of a dividend of 6 per cent., this amount will be reduced by rebate of hills, See., and it is consequently not expected that the diatr:- bution wilt exceed 51 par cent. Mr, Duffy, ex-Min'ete.r for Woods and Forests in the' Melbourne goverr.raent, is likely to find hie level even at the Antipodes, By that excellent journal, the Ar g us, we find that he and Mr. Shannes.y, irritated by the defeat of their cabinet, employ themselves in ohstruc•ing the course of legislation by long ep..eches, motions for adjournment, &e., and up-in oue occa,ion they kept the house eieting, with little intermission, for 20 hours. EXTRA.ORDINARY INIMIST.—The following almost in credible statement app'sars in the last number of the D Poglada Conserrao9e :—" On the 27th ult. the body of a female infant, was fou ad, by tie police at K-11s, con cealed is the soil of a privy, at the back of the house of Mr. Richard Close, medical practitioner, accoucheur, proprie'or of a medical establishment &e. 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 Itlcredytb, a servant in the establishment, was the mother of said infant, wed that it was dead born, and hal not come to maturity. After a short consn'tation between the magistrate rind the police, having summed up, they came to the following canclusion ;--‘ We find that Ruse Meredyth, metner of the infant, is not only not guilty, but perfectly free from any blame whatever ; and we further add, that she was justified in bur log her offspriug dead born, even in privy, dung heap, or sink, or where it suited. her convenience.' Mr. 11. Martin, coroner of the c runty, having got private infor mation, lost no time in ascertaining the facts, when he wee called on to interfere, and at once issued his precept and warrant to disinter the body preparatory to holding a legal inquisitien. He summoned 15 respectable jurors on Thursday, the 3d inst., 14 of whom attended and were sworn, and after a most minute and particular inquiry, without the sligletest hesitation, the jury re turned a verdict that the body of the said infant was found concealed in a privy in the town of Kens, and tha: R ice Meredyth is the mother thereof, and, finality, that she concealed the birth of the same. In the interim between the former and the latter inquest, Rase MereAyth was allowed to escape, when the coroner had no alternative bat to iseuu his warrant for her appre hension." -.-- - THE DEATHS BY DROWSING AT DIINBAR.—The parti culars of the melancholy accident which took place at Dunbar on Saturday afternoon, and which was briefly noticed in The Sun of yesterday, are thus related by the Edinburgh Evening Court:ad :—" Mr. William Wilson, a gentleman Irons London', brother of Mr. J. Wilson, Secretary of the Treasury, and of Mr. W. Wilson, rna• nufa.cturer, Uawick, h:tcl a few weeks since brought down his family to Dun our, where he possessed a marine villa called Kirkbill Cottage. The cottage was near the beach, and the windows overlooked the place where the family were wont to bathe. The water • had been very rough the previous day, and on Saturday there was still a ..trong under current. While the tide was receding, Misss H, and A. Wilson, aged respectively 17 and 14, ventured into the sea to bathe, along with a female ser rant. They had not been long in the water when a heavy sea struck the group, throwing the servant udon the beach, but drawing the young ladies under the waves. The former seeing tire danger her charge were in gave the alarm and rare to the cottage. Mr. Wilson and his son tja'tl3S, came down to the beach—the latter immediately dished into tin, water, but was soon beyond his depth and drowning. Tao fa'.her, seeing his family in such peril, rushed also into the watel, but vain and fatal was his effort, for he also was drawn iuto the cur rent, and before aid could be got they all pirished te gether. The distracted Mother followed to the beach,. and was about t.i enerunter thesame danger, when some , one on the beach followed her into the water and drovv her back. A police-constable gallantly succeeded withia 10 minutes iu rec verir.g Helen, and upon being drawn. upon the beach she was heard to draw a sigh, but no further eviderce of life was given, and all effort to restore it proved fruitless. James was got in 3 or 4 minutes aft-r, but he was quite dead. The body of Miss Alice was not recovered till 5 p.m., when it was fourva nearly half a mile to the westward, near the old harbor - ix. The , body of Mr. Wilson had not been heard of up to 6 o'clock on Monday evening." Mr. Wilson was in I,ho habit of residing some months in the year with his fate iy Dunbar. He was 55 years of age. THE OVERLANDIMAIL. THE MUTINIES IN INDIA I; We have received 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, litd 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.); SUMMARY. —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 their height, 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 was 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, bad, 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 in blood. A large number of women and children, who had been '• cruelly spared after the .capitulation for a worse fate than instant death," had been bartnrously 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—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 thy 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 eight days, rested a day or two at Cawnpore, and then moved on (reduced in their numerical strength, as the reault of their last battle, abont one in fifteen of their whole force), to meat the enemy again to wards Lucknow. After passing by Bhitoor, which they found evacuated, and which they burned to the ground, they met the foe on the 29th July, and the following substance of a despatch from Genei•al Havelock to the Commander-in-Chief in Beng d, with which we have been favoured, explains sub sequent operations, which ended in 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 swam?, not fordable on its bank ; houses loopholed, and defended by 15 guns. I attacked and captured it, with all the enemy's guus. The enemy ware aided by a portion of the Nevi's force, commanded by Jupa Sing. Halted four hours and then pushed on to this town, which is also str-- rounded by water, and was defended by four guns. The road to its entrance was destroyed, and tie) gate cannonaded. I assaulted and car rie lit with its guns. Enemy's loss heavy ;my own sev(re, being 88 killed and wounded. Private Cavanagh, 61th Regt , would have been recommended for the Victoria Cross, but he was cut to pees while set ting a brilliant example ; desired his relations may be pensioned. Madras Fusiliers greatly dis-in guiAted. themselves, Lieut. Dangerfield being first over the barricade. Lieut. Bogle, 78th Highlanders, was sever el.y wounded while leading the way into a loophole(' house—recommended to the notice cf his Royal Highness the General Commanding in Chief. Col. Ty tler, 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. S.: t rig s Ma lra,sFusil iers, acting A..D.C., severely wounded. An entire field battery of arms captured. Without Cavalry, I ca nnot secure horses or equipments. My volunteer horse improve daily." The hit st accounts by letter from Gen. Havelock's camp, dated July 30, the day after the fight, state that toe enemy were about two miles in fi ont. 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 csa - nmand of Major Banks, which has been so bravely holding out since the death of Sir H. Lawrence, would be r - hayed. After relieving Lucknow, it is the inten tion of Gen. Havelock to press on to Delhi, a dListanco of about 170 miles. From Delhi we have received no aelsierts cf a satisfactory character. The enemy make an cc ca.eional sortie in considerable force, bat are in variably driven back, after doing some injury to us, and inuAr 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 battle was fought on the 18th ult., in which Lieut. Crozier, of her Majesty's 75th Foot, was killei. The enemy got back into the city, after a very precipitous flight, with all their gugs. Reinforcements were begins ring to arrive, so that it was expected that our force would soon be in a position to make a general assault, with the certainty of lying able to hold the place after taking it ; intelligence of the fall of the city is anxiously expected. From Agra there is nothing new since the battle related in our last. There are about 6,000 persons shut up in the fort there, and w:11 be able to hold out, but anxiously looking for relief. New mutinies have occurred at Dinapore. The 7th, &h, and 40. th Regiments Bengal Native Incan ary mutinied about the 23d ult., and her 1114jesty's 10th - Foot shot down 800 of them. The 12th Irregular Cavalry also mutinied at the same place, murdering their commanding officer, Major Holmes, and his wife. The three Native Infantry Regi ments were considered staunch, and had actually but a short time before their mutiny kept the city of Patna from rising. "Here are regiments," says the Poona, Observes - , " bre iking out the eleventh hour, when the tide was turning in o ur favou-, and when European troops were passing continually up the river, thereby rendering the destruction of the mutim ers certain—as if they bad waited for some mysterieue order, just like th e Bareilly trce.pe.
