Indeed, the financial re.ailt of the measure, if carried out as we propose, will leave a consid rable surplus available if it should be thought fit so to employ it, for au augmentation of irregulars, who, forall such minus objects, are much better, as well as much cheaper, than regulars of any description. " Your honourable court will observe that at' _, present the relative strength rf European to Natire - Infantry in the Company's Bengal army is dist ro portionately small. In the Bombay army it is as 1 to 9 2-3ds, and in the Madras army as 1 to 16 2-3ds, while in the Bengal army it is as 1 to 24 2-3ds. If the proposed measure is adopted, the proportion in the Bengal army will be between t!aose in the Bombay and Madras armies, viz., 1 to 11 2-3ds.' The court of directors, in a despatch of July 8, prowls() their best attention "at the earliest period" to the Governor-Gcneral's report of ifs - . measures, and after applauding his excellency and' the..offLials for the judgment they have shown, add, We confidently expect that the next despatches we shall receive will apprise us of the complete suc cess of the measures taken for the suppression of armed resistance to our government ; and we feel - aQsured that the same energy artd.skill which have been displayed in making head against the most forini fable danger to which the British Govern ment in India could be expo ed, will be employed ~ in taking precautions against the return of that danger, and in immediately ascer'aining and re moving, so far as is practicable, the causes which may have led to it."

It consists of four pulleys or iron wheels about six feet in diameter, with very deep flanges or V grooves in which the cable will rest. found two wheels the cable will be wound twice; and • round two wheels once, so as to for.n two figures of 8. As if the friction of this were not enough, each wh e el is connected with Massive toothed wheels, and the motion of all made equal at the expense of a proportionate straid on the cable. In case of a fault or kink going overboard tliere, is -an auxiliary apparatus, consisting of two wheels, round each of which the cable will be wound signer prorogued them, and governed for the rest of the year on his own account. We should regret that this strict discipline, the only cure for the original evil of granting a Con stitution, should be relaxed. If, however, the description given by a contemporary of a late scene in the Chamber be correct, it is high time that the Government should look to the maintenance of its authority. Ever since the beginning of the Rus sian War the lonians have displayed more than their usual fully and insolence. When the contest appeared likely to be long and doubtful there was no concesltneut of their exultation, and since the peace their disappointmet:t has been loudly ex pressed. It would seem that the Indian mutiny has roused the spirits of the mal-contents, for the outbreak in the Clamber is the boldest thing they have yet ventured upon. The thing would be ir ritating were it n for the utter folly and feeble fleas' of these noisy chatterers, who would be the first to mike their escape it an outbreak were to follow their mischievous declamations. But be cause the lonians are weak there is no reason that we should allow them this liberty of abuse year after year. Tkere is no saying how far disturbances in o her parts of Europa may not be encouraged by the spectacle of a people seeming to defy openly the power of England. This constitution is now recog nised as an absurdity, and should at once be sup prrs3ed. The lonian Parliament has not the excuse of being a new and inexperienced assembly offend ing for • the first time ; it has indulged in these scandalous excesses continually, whenever it has been allowed to meet ; and now it should be clOsed at once. Why are we to carry everywhere into ex tremes the policy of conciliating dependent races ? We see the result in India as we see it among the lonians. We sincerely trust that if ever again there be an attempt at insurrection, this miserable pretence at a RepUblic will be swept away, and the islands declared Crown. Colonies of the United Kingdom. But we should not wait for such an occasion to abolish the Constitution so unneces sarily granted. The islands may very well be go verned by the Lord High Commissioner and his deputies without any such machinery as Lord Sea ton attempted to create. LADY FALKLAND'S NEW WORK ay .INDIA.

Naval and Military intelligenc We hear that Major-General John Spink is very likely to have the Colonelcy of the 55th Regiment, vacant by the death of Major-General Anson. The Duke of Cambridge and a large number of military officers were present at the review of the Ist and 2d Life Guards yesterday at Wormwool scrubs, under the command of Major-General the Earl of Cardigan. Both men and horses were much fatigued after the review. The Duke of Cambridge inspected four battalions of the Foot Guards in Hyde Park this morning. The parade formed at half-past eight o'clock. Each man had 15 rounds of ammunition. The troops at the Tower did duty 'at the west-end, so that the Guards at St. George's, Wellington, and Portman barracks were enabled to attend the in spection. Yt sterday orders were received at Chatham for the foll ow i ng re i n f orcemen t s t o em h ar k a t Graves end to-morrow on b oar d the Etat India Company's troop-ship com mand of Brevet-Major W. C. Mollan, 75th Regi ment—viz, 150 non-commissioned officers and men of the 32d Regiment, and 92 men of the 75th Regiment. Orders were also received for the rein forcements of the 10th and 84th Regiments, num bering 151 non-commissioned officers and privates, to embark on b oar d t h e Indianian Agamemnon. on the 31st i ns t ant. T he whole of the re i n f orcemen t s are fully equipped an d arme d w ith t h e E n fi e ld rifle, s o as to b e able to take the field immediately on landing in India. The Frolic, 16, Commander L. W. Peyton (acting), from the Cape of Good Hope, arrived at Chatham on Wednesday evening, having been in commission three years. The whole of the Royal Artillery force under orders for India were yesterday inspected at Wool wich by Colonel Bloomfield, commanding the garri son, and staff. Orders have been given. to organize other troops and companies, to supply the place of the abovenamed, by promotion and recruits. Commodore Shepherl, Superintendent of Wool wich Dockyard, yesterday inspected the steam sloop Gorgon, returned from Asia Minor. The ship is to be paid off "all standing," and will most probably be taken up in the service of transporting troops or stores from India. Mr. Partridge, Inspecting Engineer of the Fac• tory Department at Woolwich Dockyard, has been furnished with renewed instructions to proceed to LiverpGol, Glasgow, and other shipbuilding ports to assist the East India Company's agents in pur chasing and chartering vessels for the service of the Company, and to hold himself at their disposal, under the orders of the Admiralty, for the purpose of expediting the transport equipment for India. A court-martial assembled yesterday on board the flagship Waterloo, at Sheerness, to try Mr. E. F. Craven, acting-mate, doing lieutenant's duty on board the Cossack, on the charge of intoxication. The Court gave its opinion that the charge had been fully proved, and adjudged the prisoner to be severely reprimanded and to serve afloat as acting mate for two years, and if he should pass during that period he should be ineligible for promotion during such period of two years from the date of this sentence. A letter dated Hong Kong, May 23, gives the following particulars relative to some of the gun boats sent out from England to join the squadron in the China Seas :—" The Plover gunboat arrived in the Roads t his day ; her dates are—arrived at Teneriffe on . the 24th O c t., l e f t there on the 28th ; a rrived at Rio de Janeiro 6th Dec., left there on tho 13th Dec. ; arrived at Simon's Bay, Cape, Jan. 17, 1857, left Feb. 22 ; ma d e A nger P o i n t , Island of Java , April 16, left April 18 ; arrived at Singapore April 23, left there April 26. The High flyer had four to five gunboats in company with her. The Cruiser lost two of her chicken (gunboats), as they are called, the Haughty and Forester, after l eav i n g the Cape ; she then returned t o th e C a p e andt a r with the Pl over . Th e Star linggunboat has already been en gage d w ith junks and p company iratical junks. Th e E ng li s h hthe war w joined a mail arrived to-day, and haves for England on Monday afternoon next.

The Plov er h as b een delayed, and the 8-inch guu not having a gun-slide for her 8-inch gun, which is being made here. The 32- pounder gun s ar e p u t right I to lt theet gunboats, between the main and the mizen be forwardpplaced e d in b mast. The Starling and Bastard are already in • the river, and the Staunch sailed to-day. They In giving the appoinTmt- 7 nt of Captain Buckle, to the command of the Chesapeake, 51, new screw frigate, we alluded to her celebrated name, and re marked that she was inferior in modern classiGca- Lion of screw frigates as she was in battle to the still more distinguished ShannOn. Captiin Watson, C. 8., has since superseded C.tp'ain Buckle, and will doubtless fit out the Chesapeake awl proceed with her on foreign service—to China, it is said —where both ship and captain will most likely take the place of the lost Raleigh, 5), and her gallant commander, Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, C. 8., who, by the time the final order reaches him for entirely abandoning the Raleigh, will most pro bably have attained his flag rank. If Captain Buckle's was a good appointment, that of Captain Watson id:quite as g ed. Tie latt i ga'lant officer , won his promotion and honours in China. He has seivel since in two commissions, and during the latter part of his command of the 51.-gun screw frigate Imperieuse, as senior officer of the advanced squadron in the Baltic. The appointment; there fore, by the First Lord of the Admiralty of Capt. Watson to proceed to China, to become second in command to Sir M. Seymour, is admitted to 133 a most judicious selection, and one that promises in every respect to be advantageous to the service and conducive to the honour and glory of the country, if opportunity should be afforded for acquiring it. The selection, too, of the Chesapeake to replace the Raleigh will be an advantage to the China squadron, for one such ship as the former is worth three of the latter for that station ; in fact, we may regard the machinery of a man of war in the China seas as an auxiliary means of self-preservation, although a screw man of war, the Reycard, Com mander Cracroft (now captain), was lost on the Pratas shoal. The Chesapeake is 2,355 tons and 400-horse power ; but the Shannon is 2,655 tons and 600-horse power. They carry the same number of guns-51 ; but on the main deck the Shannon has 30 guns, 8-inch, 65 cwt., 9 feet long, throughout ; whereas the Chesapeake has only 8 guns of that calibre and 22 guns, 32-pounders, 58 cwt. or 56 cwt., 9 ft. 6 in. long, to make up her main-deck armament. On the upper deck the Shannon has 20 guns, 32-pounders, 56 cwt., 9 ft. 6 i n . l ong , an d a 68-pounder pivot, 95 cwt., and 10 ft. -long. The Chesapeake carries on her upper deck a pivot-gun like the Shannon ; and two guns, 8-inch, 65 cwt., 9 ft. long ; and 18 guns, 32-pounders, 45 cwt. 8 ft. 6 in. long. The complement of the Shannon is 560 ; that of the Chesapeake 530. ATLANTIC SUBMABINE TELEGRAP.N. All the details connected with the manufacture and stowage of the cable are now completed, and the conclusion of the arduous labour was celebrated yesterday with high festivity and rejoicing. All the artisans who have been engaged upon the great work, with their wives and families, a large party of the officers, with the sailors, from the Agamemnon, and a number of distinguished scien tific visit irs, were entertained upon this occasion at a kind effete champetre at Belvidere-house, the seat of Sir Culling Eardley, near Ei ith. An immense marques was pitched on the lawn in front of the house, under which a sumptuous cold collation was provided for the 850 visitors of all ranks who were invited to share in the rejoic ings of the day. The dinner took place at two o'clock, Sir. Culling Eardley presiding as chairman., The invites guests were crated . at a semi-circular table, which ran round one side of the marquee ; the sailors and artisans at smaller tables at right angles with the principal one. At the conclusion of the dinner the usual loyal toasts and speeches expressive of the amity and cordial feeling which exists between this country , and America followed, and were most enthusias tically received. After the dinner the bands played a well chosen selection of hornpipes, polkas, Jec., which brought out the agile capabilities of the Blue Jackets in a strong light, and made a most amusing portion of the day's proceedings. Sir Culling Eardley was busy always and everywhere looking after the com fort of his guests, and the day passed off without a single contretemps to mar its general hilarity. After this brief notice of the gala, it may not be out of pace to say a few words regarding its great occasion, the cable itself, and the arrangements for submerging it. The Agamemnon is still moored off the wharf at Glasse and Elliot's yard, though this afternoon, with the ebb of the spriog tide, she commences her voyage to Sheerness. There, too, her compasses will be adjusted, as she is too deep in the water to be swung at Greenhithe. At present she has any thing but a sightly aspect, the great deadweight of the cable and the rather ponderous a ppliances fbr paying it out having altered her trim appearance for the worse. To approaeh her from tb• yard is neither an easy nor a cleanly task, and the visitor, however cautious, will ascertain beyond a doubt that the old maxim that one cannot touch pitch and not be defiled is strictly true with regard to tar. The wire, as we have already explained in previous notices, has been wound over the flowing stages from th e w harf into the hold of the vessel. The machi ne by which this was done registered each fatho m , furlong, and mile as it passed, while the usu a l a pparatus was em ployed to test the integrity of the c nducting wire. This test, however, would only show when the con ductor was severed, and not un'il the time for its committal to the deep arrives will it be seen whether it has been so attenuated in certain portions as to part during the process of paying o ut. From the small machine on deck it was wound at once to the hold, where it lies in one stupendous solid coil 45 feet in diameter, and nearly 14 feet high. It is beautifully arranged here, laid coil. over coil with the most perfect accuracy, and every precaution taken to guard against a " kink" or fault occur ring in the paying out. Its being ranged in one mass will much facilitate the operation of submerg ing. On board the Niagara, we believe it is stowed , away in three coils, a decidedly objectionable ar rangement, but one which it was impossible to a ..id. While looking at the ponderous mass on board the Agamemnon, one cannot fail to be struck by the heat of the place in which it is stowe I away, a heat which might excite well founded fears as to its in fluence on the gu to percha. If we are not misin formed, the heat of the sun destroyed many miles of the wire by melting out the gut'a percha while the cable was lying in Glasse and Elliot's yard. Pro per precautions should be taken to avert ri&k from this point. We have already explained, how the cable is coated with closely woven spiral wires, to prevent damage to the core in Paying out ; but, in consequence of the two halves having been made at different places—one at Birkeehead, by Messrs. Newall ; theother at Greenwich, by Glasseand Elliot —a most egregious blunder has been committed. It. will scarcely be credited, but it is nevertheless true, hat the twist of the spiral wires of the Birkenhead half is inexactly the opposite direction to the twist of the wires in the half made at Greenwich. Thus, when joined in the centre of the Atlantic they will form a right hand and a left band screw, and the tendency and of expose each the c re. will twist, By attaching a solid weight to the centre joining it is hoped this diffi culty and danger may be overcome, but none attempt to conceal that the mistake is much to be regretted. We are informed that Messrs. Glasse and Elliot bad nearly 100 miles of their portion of the cable completed before Messrs. Newall com menced theirs, and that therefore the fault rests with the firm which began last. usedinpayi ng ou t th e ca bl e engineers as very ill-adapted looked d at u u p s o t n o b b y e is The also a lo p to its purpose. With a ceble of such extreme light ness and no strength, and attached to a vessel like the Agamemnon, the slightest possible check or hitch occurring would part it like a thread. The friction drums should therefore have been of the slightest kind consistent with preventing a " rush," and in fact only sufficit nt to ease it over gently. that the machinery ►of all this, and its Yett b it e is usedno exaggeration r t e o v s e a r y s e massive aspect strikes dismay into every well-wisher to the scheme. Some of the first engineers of and have expressed the day consider it too heavy, five times. These will be worked by a small engine placed immediately beneath, so that, if nece.sary, a portion of the cable can be hauled in again and the kink or fault remedied. The machine which works this can also be made to turn the wheels over which the cable passes, if their friction should be thought too much for its strength ; but, though this will lessen the strain in paying out, it increases the ri-k from a sudden lurch of the vessel, when the cable must either run rapidly or part altogether. Strong breaks are attached to the wheels of the. paying out machinery, which act powerfully, though very slowly. But, with the friction we have mentioned on the wheels themselves, the breaks are never likely to be resorted to. Of the auxiliary engine for hauling in we need say nothing except that we sin cerely hope its services may never be required. After passing off the wheels the cable runs in a protracted groove along the quarter deck over a large wheel at the stern of tire vessel. This wheel has a very deep trumpet-shaped groove, and all arotmd it is carefully finished off, and woodwork placed so that not an angle is in the way. The screw of the Agamemnoh is also caged in to pre vent any chance of the wire fouling it. In case of a strong stern wind before which the vessel would pitch too heavily, or a gale blowing, a simple but very ingenious apparatus is provided to suspend the process of submerging t ill more favourable oppor tunities occur. Two wheels similar to that at the stern, are fixed one on each side of the bows of the vessel. In case of a strong wind only a powerful wire rope of great length, and capable of bearing a strain of 10 tons, will be fastened to the coil, which can be revered and allowed to sink as near the bottom of the ocean as the length of the wire mooring-rope will permit. The Agamemnon will then turn head to wind, and, steaming against it, take off any undue strain upon the electric cable itself, and so remain until moderate weather allows the operation to be continued. The wire rope, with the cable attached, can then be hauled in, the cable carefully re-joined, and the submerging gone on with •as_ before. Should thasquadron meet with very severe weather, and it not be considered pru dent to retain the cable enl on boar 1 at all, the wire rope -will be attached as before, and the end of that secured again to an immense buoy. The whole can then be let adrift, to bob about as the winds and waves may choose, the vessels re maining as near to the buoy as possible. In order to assist them in finding it again immediately the uppermost end of the buoy will be fitted with four powerful reflectors placed under a flag, so as to be plainly visible amid the dark expanse of waters,- even at a considerable distance. The buoy once picked up, the wire rope can be wound in, and with it the electric cable at its end. The buoys are capable of supporting a weight of seven tons—of course much greater than they will ever be required to bear, and are so placed at the sides of the Niagara and Agamemnon as to be launched clear of the ship in an instant. As we have said, the Agamemnon leaves Green wich to-day, and after the adjustment of her compasses proceeds at once to Queenstown, where the other vessels composing the squadron—the Niagara, Susquehanna, and Leopard, will also rendezvous. During the trip from Sheerne.s to Queenstown experiments will be made by laying down about 20 miles of cable, in order to wet tain that everything is in good working condition. By this means the stiffness of the paying out gear, of which considerable distrust is enter- tained, will he accurately tested, and the amount of risk known which the scheme will have to en coniter in mid ocean. These trials, however, are to be strictly private, and none but those actually connected with the operations about to be under taken will be allowed on board. After taking in coa's at Queenstown the four vessels will start together for Valentia Bay. It has been thought advisable to alter the arrangement by which the cable was to have been joined in mid-sea, and the Agamemnon and Niagara then make the best of their way to shore—the for mer to America and the latter to Ireland. Now the plan is, to submerge the whole cable in a con i nuous line from Valentia Bay to Newfoundland. The Niagara will lay the first half from Ireland to the mildle of the Atlantic ; the end will then be joined to the other half on board the Agamemnon, which takes it on to the coast of Newfoundland. During the whole process the four ves , els will re main together and give whatever assistance is re quired. While it is being laid down messages will be sent back to the coast of Ireland reporting each day's progress, and, if necessary, of course, each hour's. Scientific men look forward to the result of the undertaking with the deepest interest, as some wonderful electrical phenomena are certain to be observed during the process of submerging. Those most nearly interested in the plan are san guine as to.all being successfully completed within a month, and the state of the markets at New York known every morning throughout England. Most earnestly do we hope that their fullest expectations may be realised, though it is useless attempting to conceal that the risks of failure to the present plan are many and most serious. —Times. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. (Front the nines.) The lonian Islands have b3en virtually in the possession of England for half a century. They are supposed to constitute a Republic under British protection, but their affairs are, in reality, admini stered directly by th e Lord High Commissioner. The islands are of the highest value as naval poQi- Cons, and Corfu commands completely the Adriatic and the Levant. The lonians have even less than the small share of good qualities which falls to the lot of the Mediterranean populations. We need not enlarge on a fact pretty well known, that our Consulates in every region where the Cephaloniotes and Cortuotes wander are sufficiently employed with their evil doings, in which they only find rivals in their fellow -subjects, the Maltese. Yet everywhere they receive protection, as much as they demand and more than they deserve. Since the Peace of 1815 they have been well and kindly governed ' • the taxes are little or n o .hi ng , th e pre , sexce of the garrisons brings money into the islands, and the prosperity of the people is greater than that of any neighbouring community. The lonians had the blessing of good government at a time when the mainland was drenched with blood, and , when Greece was still a Turkish province. It was !impossible for the most ingenious hater of this I country to, point to any real grievance, while the benefits conferred by the British occupation were constant and undeniable. The system of adnii nistration might, then, have been wisely continued, and the mutterings of restlessness end discontent disregarded by a nation which governs successfully I men of all races in every quarter of the globe. But the mania for constitutions was too strong for the good sense of the Government. Under Lord Seaton's commissionership parliamentary government was granted to the islands, and all the innate mischievousness and turbulence of the national character showed itself at once. Of course, the Constitution is an absurdity. The islands are our military posts, and must be governed accor dingly ; and the arliament can never be anything but a means for a few unquiet and malicious spirits to show their hatred of this country, and their sympathy with its enemies. Frequently the language used by the wretched upstarts who call themselves representatives of the people has been so seditious with respect to England, so insolent and gross towards the Queen and the Comniss.oner, that the session has had to be summarily closed. It is, indeed, said that Sir T. Maitland, the cele brated " King Tom" of these islands, once closed the session in his shirt, having been surprised in bed with the news that a seditious proposal was about to be carried. What was called a free press has been used to vilify the English Government, to rouse the discontent of the population, and preach the necessity of being attached to the Greek kingdom under the protection of Russia. Sir Henry Ward, however, showed himself capable of dealing with them. The wholesome severity with which he punished the attempt at insurrection in Cephalonia had for a time the b e s t effect, a nd I mode of treating his " Parliament" was equally wise. The Chambers were never allowed to sit. They assembled, he made a speech, an address was moved, to which an insolent amendment was al ways carr i e d, and then the Lord High Commis. THE INDIAN MUTINIES. Yesterday were issued, in the form of a return to Parliament, a series of despatches, 19 in number, relative to the late mutinies, and addressed by the Governor-General of India, in council, to the Court of Directors of the East India Company. In the first despatch, dated Feb. 7, the Governor- General, in council, informs the directors of a dis play of feeling on the part of the Sepoys relative to the use of grease for the cartridges. He writes : " Fort William, Feb. 7. " We have the honour to transmit for the infor mation of your honourable court, copy of a corres pondet,ce relative to an uneasiness which first mani fested itself amongst the men attached to the depot of musketry at Dum Dum, in consequence of a re port having reached them that the grease used in the arsenal for preparing the cartridges for the,En field rifles was composed of the fat of 'pigs' and of ' cows.' " The men were appeased on being assured that the matter woeld be duly represented, and, at the suggestion of the Inspector-General of the Ord nance, we have, as a present measure authorised the issue of cartridges without grease, the men be ing permitted to apply,- with their own hands, whatever mixture they may prefer. . " As it appears, however, that service-ammuni . tion requires to be bundled, and to be greased pre ' viously with a composition that should last for a considerable time without renewal, we have re quested his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief to cause some experitients to be made at Meerut, where the presence of a Rifle Corps (her Majesty's 60th) offers means which do not exist at any other station, for the purpose of ascertaining the beat in gredients to be used in greasing the cartridges, with reference both to the feelings of the native sol diery and to the requirements of the service. We have desired that we may be favoured with his excel lency's advice on this subject as early as may be conveniently practicable. We would suggest to your honourable court the expediency of *obtaining some information on 'this subject in England, where doubtless many experiments have been made. " Your honourable court will observe that the matter bas been fully explained to the men at Bar rackpore and at Dum Dum, and that they appear perfectly satisfied that there existed no intention of interfering with their caste ; and also that proper treasures will be taken to remove the cause of their objection to the composition of the ma'erial used for greasing the car ridges. "At the suggestion of the Inspector-General of Ordnance, we bag to recommend to your honour able court that no more ready-made ammunition for the Enfield rifles be sent to this presidency." The directors, in reply, express their entire ap proval of this order, and add that—" No more cartridges will be sent from this country. In making them up in India there will not, we are per suaded, be any difficulty in your prescribing a com position which, whilst sufficient for the purpose, will be unobjectionable to any of the castes in our native army." In a dispatch, dated April 8, the Governor- General mentions the expedient proposed to be adopted. He says : The cbi4 objection on the part of the sepoys was to biting cartridges, which it was currently re ported among them, were greased with fat of pigs and cows. On this point our letter to the adjutant general of the army, No. 116, dated the sth March, 1857, has conveyed full information. "it appe trs doubtful whether any composition free from grease of some sort, as wax and oil, would answer the required purpose ; and taking into con sideration the desirableness of avoiding the practice of applying to the mouth anything which might be repugnant to the religious prejudices of the natives, we have adopted the suggestion of Major Bontein, commanding the school of musketry at Dum Dum, to aboli-h in the platoon exercise the pr practice of biting off the e nd of the cartridge, and with this object to alter the instructions so as to cause the end of the cartridges to be torn off by the left hand. " His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has recommended that the altered mode of loading should be applicable to the ordinary percussion musket as well as to the rifle musket, and we have authorised this change to be carried into effect. " We consider that the new mode of loading should be introduced in every regiment, European or native, in India, and we have instructed the governments of Madras and Bombay accordingly ; but we are unable to extend the alteration to her Maj-sty's infantry regiments serving in India." The succeeding despatches continue to record various demons•rations of a; mutinous feeling on the part of the Sepoys, the punishment decreed for individual offences, and at last the disbandment of whole regiments. On the 18th of May the Governor-General forwards to the directors a narrative of the disastrous events at Meerut and Delhi, and of the measures taken to meet the emergency. In a despatcii of the following day, the governor and council urge the necessity for a material increase in the strength of the European troops. They write : " The necessity for an increase of the substantial strength of the army in the Bengal establishment — that is to say, of the European troops upon this establishment—has been long apparent to us : but the necessity of refraining from any material in crease to the charges of the military department, in the present state of our finances, has prevented us hitherto f rom mov i ng •y o ur honourable court in this matt er . Th e l a t e un t o ward oc currences er- hampore, F or t Willi a m, Barrackpore, and at B Luck now, crowned by the shocking andlatramkrenngineventsof the past week at Meerut and Delhi, con nection with the knowledge we have lately acquired of the dangerous state of feelingintheßseenntr n u ln a a c - - na tive army generally, strange and, at pre coun t a ble as it is, have convinced us of the urgent necessity of not merely a positive increase in our European strength, but of a material increase in the proportion which our European troops bear to the native regular troops on the establishment. We are of opinion that the latter is now the more pres sing necessity of the two. " We believs that all these objects, political, mi litary, and financial, will he immediately attained in a very material degree, by taking advantage of the present opportunity in the manner we have now the honour respectfully to propose ; and we see no other way in which all the same objects can be attained in any degree, now or prospectively. We recommend that the six native regiments, which are in effect no longer in existence, should not be re placed, whereby the establishment of Regular Na tive Infantry would be reduced to 68 regiments ; and that the European officers of these late regi ments should be used to officer three regiments of Europeans to be added to your establishment at this Presidency. " We confidently affirm that the government will be much stronger in respect of all important inter your honourab'e court, a c on ti nua ti on d own to the ) present date, of the narrative forwarded by the last mail, taken from messages by ihe electric telegraph, of what has occurred at different stations n this presidency, in connexion witLi the disaffection•pre valent in the native army. A report received front - the Honourable Lieut.-Governor, North-western Provinces, is transmitted herewith, but it brings events down only to the 22d of last month. " We regret that we are unable to forward re ports from Agra of a later date, and detaile I re ports from other stations, but we have received . none. We have called on the civil and military authorities to furnish us with reports of all that has happened at the several stations, but the pressure upon all persons in authority has been so great that • it i 4 not to be wondered at that they have not found time to compile connected statements of oc currences. " Your honourable court will observe with satis faction that the tidings now sent to you are not, without an admixture of hopeful intelligence. The 70th Regiment of Native infantry, stationed at Barrackpore, has come fot ward to declare its loyalty, and its desire to emulate the European troops in punishing the rebellions regiments at Delhi. The Governor-General proceeded to Bar rackpore, and personally thanked the re g iment at a general parade ; and we have reason to believe that this act, while it is had a very beneficial effect in strengthening the loyalty of the 70th Regiment and others at Barrackpore, will have the happiest influence on the minds of all well-disposed men in the native army. "The three companies of the 34th Regiment at Barrackpore lost no time in following the good ex ample of the 70th. "Meanwhile, we bad already received a sponta neous declaration of loyalty from the irregular cavalry of the Rarnghur force, in which the infantry of that force participated. An it was further re ported that the Rainghur irregular cavalry had sig nally marked their sincerity by baying, on first hearing of the outrage committed by th e mu ti nous regiments at Meerut and Delhi, written to their comrades who were on leave in the district to offer their services to the general officer commanding the Meerut division. "The 6th Native Infantry, at Allabahad, has also come forward with an assurance of its devotion to Government, and an offer of its services against the mutineers. " We have publicly acknowledged these several declarations of loyal and soldierlike feeling. " On the 30th of May last, a part of the Meerut force was attacked near Ghazeeoodden Nugger by a large body of the insurgents from Delhi, with five guns. The insurgents were thoroughly beaten by our troops, and dispersed with much loss ; and the five guns, with ammunition and a great quantity of intrenching tools were taken from them. Our loss was 44 mon, killed and wounded, chiefly of the 60th Royal Rifles, but thA greater number of these were injured by the exploAion of a tumbril left by the fugitive insurgents at the bridge on the Hindun Nuddee, near the place where the action was fought. This victory will, no doubt, be of great value in proving to the mutineers, and to tho whole army, the prowess of our European troops, even in comparatively small bodies ; and its occurrence just now is still more impoi taut, when, owing to the difficulty in procuring sufficient clrriage,faud in moving the siege train which his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief was organis ing for the at•ack on Delhi, a delay of some days must take place before the attacking force can reach that fortress. "But we deeply regret to say that the attack will not be made by General Anson in person. An allusion to his having died was received by us on the Ist inst., and on the 3d this was confirmed by tidings of his Excellency's di-ease at Umballah, on the morning of the 27th May by cholera. General Anson must have proceeded to Kurnaul some few days previously, for a message front his excellency has reached us dated Kurnaul, 25th of May. It is probable that he had been obliged by illness to return to Umball,h, where he died. " We lost no time after the receipt of this melan choly intelligence, in transmitting to Umballah, by such means as may be available at Cawnpore and. Agra, and northwest of those places, our instruc tions to Major-General Sir H. Barnard, K.C. 8., commanding the Sirhind Division, to assume the command of the force proceeding against Delhi; and we have urged upon that officer the necessity of his attacking the insurgents at that place at the earliest possible date ; the continuance of order and quiet, already much imperille 1 by exci'ement at the most important stations i f Allahabad, Cawn pore, Lucknow, and Agra, and in the adjoining district, being dependent on the early and signal discomfiture of the rebels in arms at Delhi, and in its neighbourhood. "Major-General Reed, C. 8., her Majesty's ser vice, commanding the Peshawur division, succeeds by right of seniority, and according t) custom, t the command of the Bengal Army as ProvinAal Commander-in-Chief ; but considering the emer gency of existing circumstances, and the absolute necessity of committing the command of the army of this presidency to some officer of pre-eminent qualifications, in point of knowledge of the naive troops and Indian experience, we have thought it right to requesb Lieut.-General Sir Patrick Grant, K.C.8., the Commander-in-Chief at Foot Sg- George, to come to Calcutta with all convenient expedition, to assume the office of Acting Com mander-in-Chief of the Bengal Army. We trust that this important measure Ni ill be approved of by your honsot with theurableco home Government court. It is temporary toryonly, and it will appoint some officer to succeed to the high office of Corn• mander-in-Chief in India, and of the Bengal presi dency,to the late General the Hon. G.Ansoin effortudecea sed.n ' sec ess is being "Every being made to despatch Euro pean troops to Cawnpore. rue 84th Foot h a v e been sent up almost entire ; a detachment of that regiment is expected by the Coromandel immedi ately from Rangoon. The Ist Madras European Fusiliers have been also sent up by transit carriages, by the bullock train, and by steamers. " Of the 64th Foot, who have just arrived from Bombay, 350 men will proceed on a steamer and flat immediately, and the remainder of, the regi ment will be sent up by dawk carriages and the bullock train. "The other regiments expected from B ).13.1aay and Ceylon will be pushed upward as expedii as pcs‘ible. " We are now despatching instructions to Ran goon to send round her Majesty's 29th Foot, •as soon as the corps can be brought down from Thy etm ew. " It is our confident hope that by the next mail we shall have it in our power to 'report to your honourable court that signal retribution has been inflicted on the mutineers and rebels at Delhi, and that the immediate result has been a percep tible tendency in all the districts to return, at ,no distant period, to quiet and good order." FATAL ACCIDENT.—CAUTION TO BATEERS USING CORl:Ct.—Yesterday morning a very melancholy °co re ranee took place in the Regent's Park Canal, afro, Maida-bill.
