first to voiul4t, -•%is.;e3 for employ; n 3 Bengal, a ri d th e i r officers had fully believed them to be sincere. " The regiment volunteered in June, and the order for its march from Bangalore was not issued till the end of July. " The men, therefore, had abundant time afforded them deliberately to declare whether or not they really desired to fulfil their offer. "They marched from Bangalore, all ranks pro• fessing to be heartily willing to embark. " On route, however, there appeared reason to believe that the men were not satisfied in regard to the rates of pay and pension. " The commanding officer then, after conversing with the native officers upon the subject, addressed the men upon parade. " Upon this some of the men expressed them selves unwilling to embark unless they were al lowed the old rates of pay and pension. These, however, quickly withdrew their objection—and all again declared themselves to be perfectly ready to proceed. "Trusting to the honesty of the men, and the fidelity of the native officers, the commanding offi cer reported to the Commander-in-Chief that the Bth Cavalry were all prepared cheerfully to do their duty, and to fulfil their promise. " The regiment arrived at Streepermatoor, from which place the party for the first ship was to move forward for embarkation. "Then, for the first time, the commanding officer became aware that he had been throughout trea cherously deceived, the whole of the men then re fusing to embark unless they were granted the old rates of pay and pension. " The conduct of the regiment has been most unworthy. " Had the regiment simply abstained from expres sing any wish to serve in Bengal they would have been left quietly in cantonment; no one would have given them praise, neither would any one have cast upon them reproach. But they volunteered of their own free will ; they marched from Bangalore with every profession of loyalty ; and when, trusting in their truth, the Government had hired ships for their conveyance, and made everything ready for the embarkation, then, at the last moment, they drew back from their word. " They have thus put their Government to shame --they have shamed their officers—they have cast disgrace on the whole of the Madras Cavalry—and they have branded the Bth Regiment with the stigma of faithlessness and falsehood. G° The whole regiment is guilty—but the Gover nor in Council considers the native officers to be guilty above all others. "It is the first and most important duty of the native officer's to afford full and true information to their Eurapean superiors of the real state of their troops. Living among them, and closely connected with them, it is altogetherimpossible for the native officers not to be perfectly well acquainted with the feelings of the men. " The native officers of the Bth Light Cavalry must have knoCrn from the first what was the real intention of the regiment, but they remained silent. They allowed the regiment to move from Bangalore, and subsequently to pass on to Streepermatore, and still they remained silent. "The native officers have thus brought upon themselves the chief responsibility for the miscon duct of the corps ; and upon the native officers, consequently, the Governor in Council considers that the punishment should chiefly fall. "He accordingly directs that, as directed by the Commander-in-Chief, the senior native officer pre sent with each troop, namely : "Subadar Major Syed Peer Subadar Mah ome d W uzee ; Subadar Hah ome d Etnaum, Subadar Syed Modeen, Subadar Hanmunt Rao, and Subadar Syed Anser, be summarily dismissed the service. That, for the same reasons; " Jemadar Adjutant Fauzil Khan, and "Regimental Havidar Major Shaik Hoosain, men peculiarly qualified, from their position to ob tain information, and peculiarly bound to afford it, be also dismissed ; and that all promotion in the ' regiment, and all recruiting, be suspended until further orders. " The staff pay of the native mounted establish ments of the Bth Light Cavalry will cease from the date of the promulgation of this order at Awot. Such further arrangements as may be acessary, consequent upon the regiment having been dis mounted, will be made by the commander-in-chief. " This order is to b e rea d an d ex plained to every native regiment in the Madras. CAWNPORE. We have a letter from Cawapore of the 2d inst., from which we l earn th at t h e expedition against Bhittoor in the early part of August was comman ded by Major Stephenson, of the Ist Madras Ma dras Fusiliers, on which occasion they took from Bhittoor 21 guas, 3 elephants, 63 cows, 120 bul locks, the Nana's carriage and horses, saddle cloth of gold, and jewil-hilted sword, and abundance of silver in rupees and images. —Madras Spectator, Sept. 24. The following is from Cawnpore, dated August 22, 1857 : " The Hon. Company's steamer Berhampooter, whilst on her way to Cawnpore, stopped off a vil lage called Nasingur (about 40 miles above Allaha bad) for fuel. The zimindar, in company with the villagers, fired into her ; the commanding officer `ordered 50 of the Madras Fusiliers, under com mand of a senior lieutenant, to land, and on the men reaching about 100. yards from the bank they were fortunate to defeat 200 rebels, and to capture four guns, with ammunition, besides taking the zemindar prisoner, all within an hour."--Phenix, Sept. 16. Seven of the fugitives from Futteghur have, I rejoice to hear, reached Cawnpore safe and well.

LIICKNOW. We have been favoured with the following account of the proceedings at Lucknow, by " A Sufferer :"--- "The rebels,, after taking possession of the city, opened trenches round the residency, and kept up a continuous fire of musketry and guns. At times, combined attacks of all mutinous regiments and rabble troops were made upon the residency, but were heroically met by the Europeans and repulsed with slaughter. The shells made great havoc among the rascals, and struck their hearts with terror. "The number of the rebels was about 250,000 men. Among them there were-- . 14 regiments of mutinous sepoys, 3 ressalahs of irregular horse, 4 troops of local horse artillery ; the remainder of all rabble troops. These are im perfectly armed, ill-paid, and ill-provisioned. The men are no doubt courageous. "The most conspicuous among the rebels were : " Rajah Goorbuccus, with about 20, 000 followers. "Nowab Ally, with about 4,000 followers. " Pathans of Malzahad about 3,000 in number. " The Amirs or Mahomedan nobles, begums, and wealthy mahajuns, suppli e d the rebels with' pro visions. " Killing and plundering the Christians and Baboos were tho order of the day. The bloody acts continued for some days. Plundering extended over the commercial class of men also. " On the 30th of June, one of the young sons of the ex-king, named Birjis Kadur Buhadaor, sat upon the gadde as a minister to the King of Delhi. Toni -torn was beat to this purport. His naib or deputy was named a Shuruf-ood-dowla, formerly a minister in late Nusur-ood-dowlah's time. He held the reins of the government ; re-enlisted the dis banded regiments of Wajid Shah ; invited the petty rajahs and great zemindars to join him with all their followers ; issued orders •to the zeminders, villagers, &c., to kill all Europeans and Baboon passing through their ♦illages ; and held out al luring promises for the annihilation of Europeans and their dependents. " Since the annexation of Oude by Lord Dal housie, dark conspiracies bad been fostered with secrecy and diligence by the dethroned princes, wealthy and great zemindars, and the sycophant nobles and dismissed courtiers. Secret and sedi tious correspondence among them was always car ried. on. Attempts were at times made to excite the people by means of fanatic, Mouleovies, or dis guised emissaries ; and at times they were promptly smothered, but never fully extinguished by the local authorities. Inquiries were sometimes made t_ r discover the miscreants, but the native agency th ugh being inte which they were conducted rested in the country, and bribed for misrepresen tation, the übieeet though tro I Was always defeated.

Very shortly after that hour the four companies of the 2d European Regiment arrived on the ground with the condemned prisoners on their reverse Meek in gharries escorted by a strong guard under an officer. Presently came the 21st Native Infantry, then the 14th Native Infantry, and Horse Artillery. The prisoners were then taken out of the gharries, and their names called over by the brigade-major, and the first seven who were condemned to be hung, with the other three condemned to be blown away, were marched to the rear of the gallows between their late regiment and that erection. The court-martial and the sentence of the court were then read in English by the brigade major, and ably translated in an audible voice by Major Goldsnaid. The seven prisoners for the scaffold were then marched up to its steps, and ascended without mach assistance. One man only spoke when on the drop. He stated "it was his first offence, and it was no use hang ing him. He had done 14 years' nokrie." Tho ropes being adjusted after some little delay, the culprits being faced about to meet the gaze of their late oorps, the sig nal was given, and the seven unfortunate rascals were launched into eternity. It was now found It would not do to blow away the remaining three in the square where the gallows bad been erected, so the brigade was moved off about 200 yards towards the maiden, between the sappers' lines, when three guns of the Horse Artillery were unlimbered, when the three sentenced to be blown away met with their doom. The brigade remained on the ground half-an-hoar, during which time the bodies were left hanging, and then cut down and handed over to the police in carts by a party of the 2d European Light Infantry, who re mained in charge of the gallows. We hope this may prove a lesson to any of their brethren who have not made up their minds which God ' and government they will serve, that of the Christian and the English, or that of the Pandy and the Delhi Rajah. We hear the court-martial assembles again to -lay, and that there are many more with grave charges against them, as also about 20 who have absconded, but it is expected their whereabouts will not long remain a secret with our vigilant police on their heels.—Zossid, Sept. 18. ASSAM. The following is from Debrooghur, dated Aug. 31, 1857 : " We hear from Assam that certain pernicious in fluences at the principal stations of this province hive been the cause of a visit to Upper Assam of some fanatical Moslems, who were known to have been endeavouring to get up a religious war in Lower Assam. " Upper Assam is consequently in a blaze, and several tea planters are reported to have fled down wards, without consulting the local authorities. The sad influences and their fanatic aids are be lieved to have distribute 1 the seeds of rebellion among the disaffected of the Ist Assam Light In fantry, aud it is said two Mahemedan native officers are deeply implicated in a plot to stir up the corps to revolt, in the name of the King of Delhi. Ru mour has it that the authorities of Lower Amain, after having set the fire, look to others to quench it. We'll see ; government should look to this." —Phoenix, Sept. 15. ROHILCUND. FURRUCKABAD.—Mr. Edwards, collector of Bu daon, and Mr. and MA. Probyn, of Futteghur, with their children, have come in safe. They were protected by Hurdeo Buksh at Dhurrumporo. Many Europeans are still in hiding about that country. Major Robertson, of the Artillery, is lying wounded near that, and will be safe ere long. The feeling among the Hindoo population is for us eetirely. At Furruckabad the Hindoos would rise on the Moslems there, when we approach it. Mr. Edwards says, sepoys coming away from Delhi unarmed, in parties of two or three, were passing through where they were. The zeinindars and country people are on the look out to murder them for the plunder. The feeling of the ryots against them is most deadly.—Delhi Gazette Extra, Sept. 19. tTTAWAII. —lt is reported that 150 so wars of the Gwalior Contingent passed through Ettawah on the 12th inst., on their way to their homes. Parties of the contingent sepoys were also seen going home on the 12th and 15th inst. The Dutton Rajah is said to be at war with the Ranee of Jhansie.—Mofussilite, Sept. 19. MEERUT. —The operations of the " demonstra tion" column had been successful, ion the evening of the 10th, in repelling with loss the Malagurgh in surgents on this side of B auppur. The guns of the reheats were silenced, and one of them disabl , d ; but in consequence of the darkness we were unablo to follow up the defeat. It was subsequently dis covered that they bad 16 killed,, besides many wounded. They had abandoned their guns and fled for some distance ; but on hearing that we had retired afterwards carried them off. We met with no loss.

" Bukht Khan, in a perwaunab, styles himself Lord Governor General Hind ke." A report had come in of a regiment of sepo3:s without guns having reached Khoorja from Dann, and of two more being behind it. If so, they must be fugitives from the siege.—lbid. SAUGOR.

On this intelligence reaching Damn!), the two companies of the 52d Bengal Light Infantry with the Madras column were at once disarmed by Colonel Millar. The 50th Bengal Light Infantry being told to prepare to proceed against wooer Sing (supposed to be marching to attack Nagode) appeared delighted so to do, and assisted their officers in destroying all surplus am munition and muskets. They marched out of canton ment with their officers for a mile or two, and then a voice from the ranks gave the order to " halt," and the officers were told to make themselves scarce, as their services were no longer required. The officers have arrived at Jubbulpore, and the 50th Bengalees have returned to Nagode, and burnt down all the public buildings. Part of the Madras column had a brush with the Boondelabs, killing 50, and taking three guns and 32 prisoners, of whom 12 have been strung up on the nearest trees.

The Ist is dated the let of July : " As, by the kindness of God and the ikbal or good fortune of the Emperor, all the Christians who wars at Delhi, Ronah, Satarab, and other places, and even those 5,000 European soldiers who went is disguise into the former city and were discovered, are destroyed and sent to hell by the pious and sagacious troops, who are firm to their religion ; and as they have all been con quered by the present Government, and as no trace of them is left in these places, it is the duty of all the sub jects and servants of the Government to rejoice at the delightful intell►gence, and to carry on their respective work with comfort and ease." Proclamation dated the Ist of July and issued by order of the Nana : " As, by the bounty of the glorious Almighty God and the enemy-destroying fortune of the Emperor, the yellow-faced and narrow-minded people have been sent to hell, and Cawnpore has be, n conquered, it is neces sary that all the subjects and landowners should be as obedient to the present Government as they had been to the former one • tbat all the Government servants should promptly an d cheerfully engage their whole mind in executing the orders of Government i • that it is the incumbent duty of all the ryots and landed proprietors of every district to rejoice at the thought that the Chris tians bare been sent to hell, and Loth the Hindoo and Mahomedan religions have been confirmed ; and that they should as usual be obedient to the authorities of the Government, and never to suffer any complaint against themselves to reach the ears of the higher authorities." TEE MONK The one day latter &deices from New York yes terday morning fully confirm the anticipations ex pressed yesterday regarding the effect of the bank suspensions. No new failures are announced. One or two of the most important houses that had pre viously stopped had resumed business under an extension from their creditors. The rate of exchange on England had advanced from 100 to 108, and in all the principal speculative stocks there had been an average recovery of 10 per cent. This result, moreover, had taken place before there had been time to perfect in any way the arrangements necessary to the working of the new order of affairs: The banks, for instance, could not make any general expansion, because they had not yet agreed as to the mode and proportion in which they would receive each other's notes. Specie was still re quired at the clearing-house for their respective balances at the end of each day, and hence each was afraid to pot out notes lest the others should not do so to a similar extent. Practically therefore the only aid the merchants had yet received consisted in the relief from increased pressure, and in the conviction that the restoration of mutual action among the several banks in all parts of the State would remove the paralysis which bad rendered it impossible for remittances to be made or produce to be transported from one centre of business to another. The Metropolitan Bank, the third in the list as regards the amount of its deposits, and two others of considerable magnitude had already notified that they would receive at par the notes of all the legitimately organized banks in the State, and a meeting was to be held on the even ing after the departure of the present advicea to bring about harmonious action in this respect. Upon that point being arranged, and a decision adopte d as to the extent to which each bank should be per mitted to expand its circulation, the transactions of commerce might be expected to return to their ordinary channels, and, as delay would b e f raught with mischief, it may be assumed that all parties would act with promptitude. The Fulton, therefore, will pro bably bring intelligence on Friday that the entire note icauss of the State of New York are again performing the function: of currency. This effected, the exchange transactions with other States will simply depend upon the estimate entertained of the security of their indi• vidual banks, and of the period at which such of them as •have suspended may be expected to resume specie payments. In the case of the Pennsylvanian banks the discount seems at the last date to have been 6 per cent. These quotations will vary from day to day, but busi ness will adapt itself to them with perfect ease and regularity. Throughout the Union, therefore, there will again be complete facilities lot the movement, of merchandise and the settlement of accounts. On the question of the course of exchange between Europe and America the view is equally clear. When the New York note circulation shall have been legalized as a tender no one will want gold, except for the purpose of exportation and hoarding, and any remittances from this side would therefore inevitably result in loss. Suppos ing the paper issues of the banks, which are all based on the security of State stocks, to be kept, as there i s littl e doubt they will be, within limits not exceedin g th e ac tual requirements for carrying on the internal trade of the country, this paper will be maintained at par—that is to say, it would be taken for its equivalent in English sovereigns or American eagles. If on the other band, it should be issued in excess it would fall to a discount as compared with gold or bills on London, and the result would be that English sove reigns and gold generally would flow to this side. With the excess of paper issues prices would nominally ad• vance and importation of foreign goods be again stimu lated. The holder of gold would not pay it to his neighbour, because he could legally discharge his debt by bisnk notes, but would take !t to a money-changer, who would give him in these notes a number of dollars, perhaps equivalent to 21s. or more for every sovereign. This gold would then be sold by the money-changer to persons having payments to make to England, and the process would go on till the country had been thoroughly drained of all its specie. The idea that henceforth bullion can be profitably sent to America is therefore imply absurd. Such an operation could not take place unless the inconvertible note circulation of New York were to et.nd a higher value than gold itself. It is true that gold might be sent out by houses on this side to bay up bills drawn upon themselves, and whicb, owing to their being in discredit, bad become purchaseable greatly below par; but the method would be clumsy, even in a transaction of this kind, since they could pay the gold to some London house of unquestioned standing and so obtain a New York credit which would be just as avail able. The conclusion consequently is that, supposing all the arrangements for legalising the existing suspen sion to be duly carried out, the flow of bullion will, in the coarse of a month or two, find again its natural channel, and, instead of passing from London to New York, will come from New York to London. Almost all the American payments from America to India and China are made through this country, and the mining wealth of California likewise is expended in the purchase of European goods. There is constantly, therefore, a natural balance due to us from the United States, and an alteration of this condition of affairs must at all times be utterly anomalous. For the present the return to a normal condition will be delayed by the facer mous amounts of English capital lately authorised to be drawn for at New York for investment in American securities at their depreciated prices ; but this effect will be merely temporary, and it will tend, moreover, greatly to facilitate the revival of stability in that city, and to maintain its note currency at par value. Hence there will be no danger of hoarding, and the banks between now and the sth of April will have not the slightest difficulty in recovering whatever stock of bullion may be requisite for them safely to return to cash payments. Under these circumstances there will be good hope that a majority of those among the firms lately broken by tens aid hundreds who have previously conducted their business on honest principles will be able to resume, and that the ultimate prospects of creditors on this side will prove far lees gloomy than has been recently appre hended. This will be a point to test the honour. of the American mercantile community. In Massachusetts there are stringent bankruptcy laws, but there are none in New York, and any house that has suspended can easily force its creditors to any kind of settlement. If the recovery from the crisis should be characterised by a faithful resumption of obligations, the credit to the community will be proportionably strong, and, judging thus far from every communication received, there is not a single sign that an opposite course is likely to be pur sued.

The failure of the negotiations with the Bank of Eng land for the support of the Liverpool Borough Bank has been caused, not by any withdrawal on the part of the Bank of England, but from the refusal of the other Liver pool establishments to give the guarantees originally agreed upon, the plea of these parties being that the temporary stoppage of the bank has removed the chief inducement for them to come forward. They are willing to give their notes as a collateral security to meet any deficit after the realisation of the bank assets, but not to come under any more immediate and direct liability. The Bank of England, however, could not depart from the conditions first stipulated, which alone were legiti mate. The negotiations therefore terminated, and, from the notice issued to-day by the Borough Bank, it is to be inferred they are not likely to be renewed. The dis aster will prove most serious, but it will fall at the mo ment chiefly on the depositors and ultimately on the stockholders, since there can be little hope that under a forced liquidation any portion of lithe capital of 1,000,0001. can be saved. The shock to the commercial community will, it is believed, be much mitigated by a course which the Bank of England will take for that purpose. Ordinarily the Bank refuse to discount any paper bearing the endorsement of a suspended establish ment, but in the present case, it is understood, this rule will be waived, and no bills of a sound character, endorsed by the Borough Bank, will be rejected on that account. A great mass of paper will thus be prevented from be coming practically inconvertible. The total commit ments of the Borough Bank, in the shape of endorse ments, &c., are rumoured to amount to more than 3,000,000/., but a large portion is of an indirect character, and will be duly provided for by responsible parties. The deposits, which recently amounted to 1,500,0001., have latterly been reduced, it is said, to about 1,000,0001. Many of these having been lodged by persons for the sake of permanently securing a high rate of interest, the inconvenience of their being temporarily unavailable will be less felt than if they had belonged to traders in active business. It is affirmed that the investigation which must now take place into the affairs of the Liverpool Borough Bank will develop a most unsatisfactory system of management, and show that advances have been made to individuals of amounts which could not fail in any period of pressure to lead to fatal consequences. The last report of the bank, a copy of which is annexed, announced a reduction of the rate of dividend from 7 per cent, to 5, in consequence of the winding-up of the affairs of 1854 (rendered memorable by the failure of Mr. Oliver and others), but added that the business of the bank was unimpaired, and that certain changes about to be made in its policy and regulations would prevent similar losses for the future : " REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS TO THE PROPRIETORS. "According to the last report, the paid-up capital of the bank was 900,000/., and the reserve fund was 101,0001. 10s. lld.

"Ii winding up the affairs of 1854, a year which it is well known was most disastrous to those cus tomers of the bank who were engaged in the colonial shipping trade, heavier loss has been sustained in the realisation of the assets then taken over by way of security and in the liquidation of estates then con sidered good, than could possibly have been antici pated. The directors have thought it their duty at once to reduce the dividend to the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, on the grounds that, taking even the mod tavola. V E TORE (From Cie Times City Article.)

"In laying this statement before the shareholdere the directors desire strongly to impress upon them that its unsatisfactory character is to be attributed to the affairs of 1854, and that, apart from these, the sound and le. i.itimate business of the bank would have enabled it te pay the ordinary dividends, and also to add largely to the reserve fund, notwithstanding the losses that have been inn& rred subsequently to that year. They wish . also to state their confident expectation that the change they are making in the policy and regulations of the bank will effectually guard against the recurrence of similar results. "Mr. Smith having stated to the directors that his health would not longer permit him to undergo the labour of conducting the details of the manager's duties, and having in consequence requested to be relieved from his office, they have with reluctance complied with his wish, and have made arrangements that Mr. Thomas Seller, who is in every respect eminently qualified for the post. shall, from the Ist of August next., assume the position of manager. Mr. Smith has, at the request of the di rectors, consented to take a place at the board, and t o continue to give the bank the aid of hie valuable assist. atm. WILLIAM RATHBONE, Chairman." In the published accounts from Manchester this morn ing it is remarked that a bank at Glasgow is said to have suffered largely, "and will have to wipe off nearly half a million of money in bad debts." That enormous losses have been sustained in that quarter, through the reckless disciunt of a mass of accommodation paper, has been known for some weeks past ; but it is now stated, apparently with confidence, that the institution in question will be furnished with all requisite aid by ether and more solid establishments to carry it through all Its engagements. The belief, however, is that an ultimate winding-up is among the conditions on whioh this assistance has been agreed to. Wi'h regard to the final safety of the not - ,eholders sod depositors there cou.d nat have been the smallest doubt, even if help had been totally withheld, since the individual wealth of the pro prietary is estimated at not less than 5,000,000/. or 6,000,000/. THE INDIAN MUTINIES. (From the Times.) The Bombay Mail has brought us further intelligence as to the fell of Delhi, and although these accounts are still meagre and unsatisfactory enough is told to show I with what indomitable vigour and determination the British troops advanced to the assault of the fortifications which sheltered that band of execrable miscreants. The siege train arrived on the 4th of September; with enor mous exertion the ponderous artillery was placed in position by the Bth, and on the 13th the bastions and curtain against which our fire was directed were mere heaps of crumbling ruins. Now arrived the long looked for day of retribution ; the troops, like greyhouads in the slips, were eager to rush to the storm, and General Wilson issued an order of the day as remarkable for its sense and firmness on those issued by the Supreme Go vernment have been distinguished by totally opposite qualities. The Major-General praises his troops for the cheerful way in which they have supported their past toil, and warns them that greater labours are still to come, which must be borne as cheerfully. He "feels as , nred that British pluck and determination will carry everything before them, and that the bloodthirsty and murderous mutineers will be driven headlong out of their stronghold or be exterminated." He " needs hardly remind the troops of the cruel murders committed on their officers and comrades, as well as their wives and children, to move them in the deadly struggle. No quarter should be given to the mutineers • at the same time, for the s a k e o f h uman i ty, and for the honour of the country they belong to, he calls upon them to spare all women and children that may come in their way." It is impossible to convey in more precise terms than these the duty —no cThubt "uncongenial," but still a duty—which has devolved upon our Generals and sol diers in the East, at the very moment when the prestige of our rule so much depends on the confidence it inspires in its friends and the awe with which it is regarded by its enemies. When we find, then, that the lives of our countrymen and the safety of the empire are perilled by an opposite policy, which by shielding the mutineers and their accomplices maddens and drives our own regiments to mutiny; we are induced to interpose and demand the abandonment of measures which every man of common sense must see can only lead to more wide spread disaster. We have already commented in severe terms on a recent notice issued by the Governor-General in Council as tending to hamper the military authorities —and among the heads of intelligence brought by this mail one paragraph has roused the indignation of all who read it. It is reported—and we shall be glad to hear that it is only a report--that Mr. G. P. Grant, member of the Supreme Council, has been sent up to the disturbed districts, with power to control the Gene rals in command in the execution of martial law ; or rather, we should say, that in defiance of the maxim, Inter arena silent leges, the Governor-General and Coun cil have decided that martial law shall not be established even where our little columns are struggling in the midst of the vast armies of the insurgents. Thus it is plain that the proclamation of a few days before has not been allowed to remain a dead letter. A. civilian, igno rant of military usages and military requirements, has arrived in camp to supersede the authority of the Gene rals at their own head-quarters. And what was the place chosen for the first display of imbecile mercy? It was Cawnpore, where the streets are still red with the blood of our slaughtered women and children, and where the ground has just closed over their mangled remains. General Neill had taken 150 prisoners from among the fiends who a few weeks before had tied English women down in the public ways to violatethern, and had chopped little children into bits in an orgie of bloodthirstiness. The place had been retaken by our troops after a series of battles the heroism of which will be celebrated as long as the British name endures, and the natives were finding that, though outnumbered twentyfold, the race which had conquered the country had strength to hold it and to execute justice on evildoers. Those who are at all acquainted with Asiatic character will bear wit ness that the condign punishment of these rebels taken in arms would have impressed the country, far and near, with the conviction that we were powerful, and knew it, and were prepared to make others know it too, The effect of a summary execution would have been equal to another victory. Every tree and gable-end in the place should have its burden in the shape of a mutineer's carcase. Thus has treason been crushed in other places ; thus have Scinde and the Punjab, and even the Bombay Presidency been preserved to as. But between justice and these wretches steps in a prim philanthropist from Calcutta. General Neill is not even left to exercise his judgment within the nar row limits of the proclamation ; but Mr. Grant takes the command out of his hands, and directs not merely that the forfeited lives should be spared, not merely that the offenders punishment should be commuted to transportation or perpetual imprisonment, but that they should be absolutely and unconditionally set at liberty. The telegraph may well inform us that the indignation was great and general at the leniency of the Government. The effect of this most scandalous proceeding may possibly be to undo much of the good resulting from the fall of Delhi. Some of the men thus liberated were, we may be sure , in the camp of the enemy within 48 hours. What news were they likely to carry ? T❑at the Calcutta Government was afraid, that it dared not hurt a hair of their heads, that the Go• vernor-General had sent one of his own Council to pre. vent the General in command from touching them, that the English had found that they must coax the Sepoys hack to their allegiance, and that if the Sepoys stood out they would soon have everything their own way. Is this any exaggeration of the view which a race so igno- rant and vain would be likely to take of Mr. Grant's in terference ? And when we have Nana Sahib with 30,000 savages between our little force and the nearly exhausted garrison of Lncknow, is it not time to remonstrate sternly against the pusillanimous lenity of the Govern ment ? What the enemy is capable of we know already ; what their notion and hopes are we may judge from the proclamations of Nana Sahib, which we print elsewhere. While the Governor-General is dreaming of drawing back the mutinous Sepoys by kindness, the hero of Cawn pore is addressing his followers in a tone of the most ;elf-complacent confidence. "As by the kindness of God and the good fortune of the Emperor all the Chris tians who were at Delhi, Poonab, Sattara, and other places, and even those 5,000 European soldiers who went in disguise to the former city, have been sent to hell by the pious and sagacious troops it is the duty of all the subjects and servants of the Govern ment to rejoice at the delightful intelligence, and to carry on their respective work with comfort and ease." This proclamation of the Nana was issued shortly after the attack on Cawnpore and by the end of S e pt em b er he must, thou g h after three months of impunity, have begun to feel some doubts as to the stability of the new monarchy. The execution of a few of his confederates would, no doubt, have served to quicken his apprehen i sions or those of his followers. He may indeed soon learn to his cost that " the yellow-faced and narrow minded people" have not been all " sent to hell ;" but if anything could maintain his delusion it would be such proceedings as have just taken place. Cm there really be a policy more suicidal than when the whole country is swarming with rebels, who way disperse to-morrow or keep the field for weeks, according as th.ir fears or hopes prevail, for a Government to exhibit itself as afraid to act with severity, and as endeavouring to draw back the Sepoys by inducements which they will be the first to deride I We have before now made some obser vations on speeches at home which have indicated much of the same maudlin feeling of humanity. Here it is, indeed, harmless ekough, but when by communication or sympathy it istAnsmitted to those charged with the conduct of affairs it becomes a serious matter. To over come such folly is as much a duty as to fight the enemy ; and, indeed, why should we triumph at the fall of Delhi or the victories of Havelock ? They are gained at our own expense. It is cur reused apprehension of danger, struggling with the results of our want of foresight ; it is bravery repairing the disasters caused by folly ; it is e ob n fl i d iun u d rrna. Grantls c s e and m a k mp i e n a rygv,ue perhaps,rpsiftoyr a p e r h v a i haveovlie s pfalse epconfidence miss y i B s n al uch n h n calamities and repaired by new achievements. The Civil Government of India may rest assured that, 'when ever the time comes for reviewing its conduct, it will find it no easy task to stem the current of popular feel ing, which has set so strongly against it. It need not aggravate the difficulties of its position by wantonly insulting the feelings of every man, whether soldier or civilian, who is engaged in fighting its battles.

When Mr. Parr won the handicap e ith Odd 'Prick' on the Monday, he declared that the Cambrie,geshire was virtually over. He made no secret of his crdnfi 'enc.. He advised all his friends to " get on," and even told one of the principal bookmakers, who took the blot, and who, in consequence, won a large roake. The Mositissiena party were sadly disappoin+,ed, but they were not far out in their calculatioas. Saunterer proved himself to be a great horse, and at a mile no horse of his years can compete him. El Hakim figured most ingloriously, .and peopled are at a loss to explain his defeat. Owner, traie.er„ and jockey had im plicit confidence in his chanced, and they looked not a littl e puzzled and dismayed after the race. Perhaps the kick which he received from Fariny Grey, although he (lid not seem affected by it, may have influenced his running. The Ceearewitch horses, however, made a very sorry exhibition. Prioress never once here the stripes prominently in the race. Fortune has cer tainly been lavish of her favours to Fordhain, who, by a "fortuitous circumstance" only, was enabled t 3 ride the winner co the Cesarewitcb, and who wss released at the last moment from a prior engagement, and allowed to ride Odd winne Trick are large rs. The detailed account of the sport, which has been already published in The Sun, will have made our readers acquainted with the most prominent "features" of the meeting ; I shall not therefore attempt to reproduce them at present. The weights for the " Nursery" were published last night, and they were received in the room with a shout of disapprobation. Never was a handicap more strongly condemned, and the paucity of accepte.nces showed that the generally-expressed opinion war, the correct one. Not until the dinner hour to-day had we a favourite. At last, however, bookmakers offered 6 to 1 " bar one," and it was evident that something had come. • Still never was pea more ingeniously bid by the most expert thimble-rigger than was the name of the Nursery favourite. At length it was discovered. In the language of the Ring, Swale was made very hot, and in a few minutes he jumped to 3to 1. The horse is certainly " well in." and mu,t have oth,.r recommen dations than his two wretched public performances. I know nothing about him, and confess that, unless there be more in him than has hitherto met the eve, I shall expect to see Haymaker the winner of the "First Clasi.“ Still it must be remembered that Swale has been sent expressly for this race, and had his party chosen their own weight they could not have placed upon a more lenient impost. The "Second Class" does not excite much interest at present. The Latitude colt, Pavilion, and T. P. Cooke are the most attractive namas, and backers of horses may do well to allow themselves to be "tickled with the straw" of Lord ailden. Newmarket, Wed nes d ay night A FRESH MAN.
