'1 A VAI %•"-,) - 1.111, . LONDON, MONDAY, DEC. 28, 1857. By the arrival of the Overland Mail from Bom - bay, we are enabled to give copious det tile of twitters to which the telegram, already published, only briefly: referred to—the glad tidings of the complete relief of Lucknow and the safety of the fugitives. The work was one of great difficulty ; indeed far greater than the capture of Delhi, to which in many respects it bears a striking resem blance. The remissness of the Anglo-Indian Go vernment in neglecting to make proper arrange- IN en ta for forwarding the troops from England immediately on their arrival, was the subject of serious complaint, and many annoying delays were the respili—delays that might have been produc tive of great evil, but for the indomitable bravery and skilful tactics exhibited by the officers and men actually engaged, and only awaiting the ar rival of reinforcements before entering on decisive operations. From the moment that the column under GRANT and GRIATHED arrived at Alumbagh—viz., on the Ist of November, the safety of the garrison and fugitives was certain. There need have been but few apprehensions entertained that HATE LOME and Orrusx could hold their own, and if necessary fight their way through the thickest ranks of the rebels. But unfortunately they Were heavily burdened with women and children, silk and wounded, who constituted formidable 44Putinnenta to any active operations. There was Ciao In n'Posed to be a chance of provisions falling short. Ind esd 4cciety that _was the only ma tt er th a t oceasion i ed • mad the d anger b een immi nent, tux.e can be no doubt that GRANT and GRILLTHZD would with the troops under their command have attempted th e rescue of their companions. But, happily, it wan ascertained thattesan7o that the beleagured party at the iid had ample provisions for several weeks , and e l they were suffering comparatively little • • injury from the almost incessant fire of the rebels w h o inustered nearly 100,000 strong in the sp ace between the Alumbagh and the Residency. It was, therefore, prudently decided to delay the final attack until the force was deemed sufficient, Considering the difference between Europeans and natives, to insure a triumphant success. It was ' on the 3d November that Sir CoLIN CAMPBELL, after a narrow escape of being captured by a party of rebels on the way to Cawepore, and having learned that the safety of the garrison permitted his wearied troops the much-required rest and refreshment, he remained until the 9th, on that day the sth, 53d, 84th, and 93d, with portions of other regiments, crossed the Ganges, and were followed by the jolly tars of the Naval Brigade, who frolicked along, dragging their 24-pounders as if they were mere trifles. Sir COLLN followed on the 11th, riding 40 miles in the direction of Lucknow during the day ! The sick and wounded from the Alumbagh were sent back under a guard of Sikh horsemen, and narrowly escaped a serious collision with the Naval Brigade, which might have led to a very terrible catastrophe had the mistake not been dis covered at the very nick of time. Ample provi sions had been sent into the Alumbagh, and all was ready for the attack, which took place on the 13th. Sir Corm( and his gallant followers moved onward to the banks of the canal separating Alumbagh from the town of Lucknow, and, after a sharp conflict, dispersed the rebels and captured all their guns in that quarter. On the 15th the insurgents were driven from the Delkosha and La Martiniere. They, however, rallied, and made a severe attack on the British position, but were eventually repulsed with immense loss. This appears to have been one of the most severe struggles of all during the incessant strife. On the 16th the canal was crossed and Seeun derbagh carried, after another terrible conflict, in which every nerve on both sides was strained to the utmost. The Samuch was subsequently attacked, at three in the afternoon, and captured about dusk. Sir Ceram, an unexceptionable wit ness on such a question, describes it as one of the hardest fights he had ever witnessed. On the morning of the 17th communications were opened to the left rear of the barracks, towards the canal. The Mess-house was carried by assault at three o'clock, and the Mc tee-Mahal before dusk. Then it was that the exciting interview between CAMPBELL, OIITRAM, and ELITELOCK, to which we have already alluded, took place, and further measures concerted by a triumvirate such as had seldom, if ever, met under similar circumstances. The first step was, of course, to ensure the safety of the non-combatants ; and this was ensured by despatching them to Cawnpore, under an adequate escort. Five officers were killed and thirty-two wounded, of whom two were dangerously, and eighteen severely. The later intelligence is very meagre and incomplete. It only reaches to the 21st, which may be accounted for by the murder of two telegraph assistants on that day. Although we have made such satisfactory pro gress, it is obvious that the snake is merely scotched, not killed, and that far more remains to be done with the remnant of 100,000 armed rebels scattered through the country. The most vigorous measures must be resorted to. The proceedings at Rohilcund by Corrores brigade and of Saowsaits' column, were eminently satisfactory. The death of the brave Colonel GERARD, in the very hour of victory over the Joudpore mutineers, is confirmed. It is to be re gretted that he did not live to receive the honours he had so nobly won. It is said that at Delhi the mock sentimentality of the civilians is in the ascendant, and that the octogenarian misoreant, the mock King, is maintained in a species of state. He now occupies the Palace, with a guard and re tinue assigned to him, while his youngest son, a lad of 18, parades the town on a state elephant, with British officers of rank (one of them Colonel HosGE) in attendance or accompanying him. Col. ROGGE states that it was " at the request of the Commissioner" he had submitted to what ought to be considered a degradation by a British offi cer. Notwithstandiog this ill-timed leniency, the work of the public executioner still goes on, and 24 members of the Royal Family were all hanged together on the 21st November. We trust that measures may speedily ba adopted at head-quarters to prevent the evil ex tmple of the exemption of the chief delinquent from being allowed to carry with it honours. If his life must be spared in consequence of any inconsiderate promise, he should be consigned to a prison, not a palace, and the gaol attendants should be his only guards of honour, and he should be made to conform to all the stringent rules of the esta blishment. A very brilliant affair took place between Briga dier STIJART's colutnn and the insurgents near Mundesore, in which the latter were completely routed and with, considerable loss. During the contest the garrison of Mundesore made a sortie and attacked our rear-guard, but were repulsed by the rear-guard. In consequence thmeof Alundesore was abandoned during the night by the rebels, who retired on Nagurh and in the direction of Ruin poore. In this brilliant affair which lasted fAir clam Lieutenant REMUYNE was killed, and Lieu tenants JAMES and MARTIN severely, and five other officers slightly wounded. On the whole the news is eminently satisfactory and will, we trust, be followed by other intern- gence of a siraillr character. The Earl of HARROWBY has retired from the Cabinet, and is to be replaced by the Marquis of CLANRICARD; as Lord Privy Seal. The office is a complete sineoure, and yet the Noble Earl re- linquishes it "on account of the state of his health, which debars him from active ezertions," and certainly not on account of any political dif ference with his colleagues l Somehow it always is " the state of the health" that creates the diffi culty in such cases. It is like Mr. SNODGLLSS'S salmon at the celebrated dinner after the match between all Muggleton and Dingley Dell ! Lord HARROWBT did, however, differ with his colleagues on a very important measure last ses sion. He swelled the adverse majority is the House of Lords against the Jewish Relief Bill, and there were general complaints against Lord PALMERSTON for permitting a subordinate to ma nifest such contumelious indifference to the wishes of the Government. Indeed, his continuance in office was considered as ♦ery strong evidence of the Premier's lukewarmness on the Jewish ques tion ; and it was remarked that should the Lord Privy Seal repeat the offence with impunity, a numerous and infuential body of independent Members would be very seriously offended. It was with great difficulty that they were restrained from active operations last session, that might have led to an awkward collision between the he reditary and representative branches of the Legis lature. The " indisposition" under which Lord H.►xEowsz was suffering was manifestly an " in disposition" to support Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Bill, which must receive the greatest possible amount of Government aid. the Ministers in the Upper House. He will like wise prove useful on the Reform Bill and Jewish question, on both of which Lord HARROWBY would be really detrimental. There is no doubt that Lord PALMERSTON has made a good exchange between the solemn insipidity of the one and the wit and intelligence of the other. He was fortu nate in obtaining the services of the Marquis of CLANRICARDE at so easy a rate. We perceive Buenos Ayres has just taken mea sures to wipe off a disgrace and a stigma, which for nearly 30 years have been a reproach to her honour and good name—we might, with equal truth, add, destructive alike to her credit and thus to the development of her rich and almost boundless resources. Her revenue has greatly increased. The re turns officially made show an increase of a quar ter of a million dollars for 1857 over that of 1856. We have, then, at length the pleasure (and it is an unfeigned one) of at once congratu lating her enlightened Ministers, and also her two Legislative Chambers, as well as our own country men who, under trying emergencies, supplied the young Republic with a loan on the liberal terms of 85 per cent., so far back as 1824 (33 years ago), and who have been almost ever since doomed to bear patiently a fate far more severe than any other class of creditors that we know of ; for the enormous accumulation of arrears upon their un paid capital proves that they have been for a long series of fears her suppliant, ill-treated, and totally neglected creditors. A reference to the proceedings at the London Tavern, on the 17th inst., satisfactorily proves that a new era has at length arrived, and the present Ministers of that section of :South America seem resolved that Buenos Ayres shall in financial matters, no longer be left behind the sister republics of either Chili or Peru. The able and indefatigable chairman, Mr. David Robertson, of Ladykirk, stated emphatically that, all circum stances considered, he looked upon the arrange ment or compromise of the debt to be one as liberal and satisfactory, or even more so, than the very best on record, both as regards the character of the arrangement, the original capital (no easy matter to deal with after such a lapse of time and accumulations of arrears of interest), and the unpaid coupons due upon that capital. Our object in referring to this subject, inte resting and important as it must be to many, is no longer, as has been our wont for years gone by, to stimulate the committee and bondholders to energetic exertion, but to offer them our best wishes at the accomplishment of a great and signal financial victory. For this, we believe, they are greatly indebted to the press of this metropolis, and to the untiring perseverance of their able chairman, and very much indeed to the Messrs. BARING, who, contractors of the said loan, have most unceasingly ! advocated the claims of the creditors under it, until those efforts have been happily crowned with success. There are other names that we have on many former occasions singled out for special praise—that of Mr. Pews; as well as the able and indefatigable Mr. JAMES Gino, who are entitlsd to great commendation ; and, in the later stage of the negotiation, Mr. Goo WRITE has ex erted himself with a zeal and ability that could scarcely be surpassed. All this proves that union, energy, and active co-operation should be the motto of %11 persons similarly circumstanced. There are in this country too many in this predicament, holders of various foreign Bonds, and the two great delinquents at this moment are, laeyoad. cleuht "Venezuela and Spain. The former has in a measure added insult to injus- (tiee, sending over from Gammas troops of Ministers and Commissioners to tell the defrauded creditors that some 400,000 or 500,000 dollars are voted annually for the English creditors, and yet for ten years not as many pence paid to them, seem to forget that this is a mere mockery. Prac tical men look on, and would designate a Govern ment so acting as guilty of the compound crime of perjury and plunder. Returning from a consideration of the conduct of Veneauela to that of Buenos Ayres towards her creditors, we once more congratulate the Republic as having taken a step dictated by honour and sound policy, and the English creditors at the prospect of obtaining justice in part, if not their full rights. We cannot conclude without adding that too much credit cannot be given to the chair. man, Mr. ROBERTSON (himself. as he stated in our hearing on Thursday, a holder of no less than some 80,000 of the Bonds), and also to the coin- mittee generally, who, as acknowledged by Mr. JAMES CAPEL, have worked hard and well, and have, besides, found funds to carry on negotia tions, which mus ,- , otherwise have perhaps failed at the critical moment. The chairman, Mr. Ro- BERTSON, 1 ikewise aided both with his advice and his purse ; and one of the speakers on Thursday (either Mr. LAPEL or Mr. TASIEER) gave Mr. ROBERTSON unhesitatingly, jointly with Messrs. BARING, credit for the great ameliorations secured since the former (and, by-the-bye, not illiberal) offer tendered in 1856. These ameliorations and improved conditions, we find, will now secure to the creditors, in the first place, the full and immediate annual interest of six per cent. on the principal of the debt, and a gradually augmenting scale of payment from 1 to 3 per cent. on the enormous accumulation of arrear or back interest, which is between 160 and 170 on every 100 Bond. The first payment of 1 per cent. is to date from 1860 ; 2, from 1865 ; and 3, from 1870. The disgraceful system of bonfiscotion (adopted by Spain constantly, and copied by Peru, to an extent of 25 per cent, on all arrears) does not enter into the plan of arrangement offered by Buenos Ayres. Though offered tardily, there are many circumstau ces that on the whole redound much to the honour of the Ministers who have so recently succeeded to office, and have gracefully made this one of their very first legislative enact ments. It is an example for other South Ameri can, and some European Governments, to follow with advantage to themselves and their ruined creditors. The general support of the Marquis of CLAN IIICARDE will unquestionably be far more valuable to Ministers. He is a smart and effective sPeaker, thoroughly up on questions relating to of Which it was some time since supposed he would have been Governor-General, in place of hi 3 brother-iii -law, Lord CAN NIN G. He would prove a very ustfal friend, a very troublesome foe ; and it would not be convenient to allow such a powerful auxiliary to array himself under the same banners with Lord EL LTaizoßouoli. They 'Nu Id prove very awkward Customers to any of IHE SITN,', LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, DE,CEIzBER 28, 1857. LATEST NEWS. THE CALCUTTA MAIL. The following telegram, which was received at the East India House this morning, gives the Cal cutta version of the relief of Lucknow. It will be found to correspond with that from ,Bombay, published on the 26th inst., but contains a few additional particulars : The Commander-in-Chief crossed the river and entered Oude on the 9th inst. He was reported from Cawnpore on the 12th to have reached Allum bagh, and to have opened communication with Sir Jas. Outram. Between the 9th and 12th one thou sand three hundred troops of all arms crossed the river at Cawnpore to join the Commander-in- Chief. Oa the 12th three companies of the 82d marched for Allumbagh, and on the following day three companies of the 13th, the military train and Crawford's artillery were to move in the same direction ; further, it was intended to send on Carthew's brigade of Madras sepoys, expected at Cawnpore, unless the Gwalior mutineers should cross the Jumna ; the latter on the 12th inst. numbered 3,000, or, by native accounts, 5,000 effective men, with 8 heavy and 30 field guns. By the last telegram, dated 23d, some por tion of this force had crossed the Jumna and entered the Doab. On the 13th the Commander in-Chief commenced operations by blowing up the Fort of Jhullawan, near Allumbagh ; on the 15th inst., he occupied Dilkoosha Park and Martiniere, fight of two h ours ; i n th e even after a running ing the enemy again came forward, but were heavily repulsed, and the operation ended in our taking the post across the canal. Our losses small. Lieut. Mayne, Horse Artillery, and Lieut. Wheat croft, Carbineers, killed. On the 16th the Commander-in-Chief advanced across the canal in force ; on the 17th he attacked Bagb, which was occupied after a severe struggle. The enemy suffered enormously, 1,500 dead bodies of sepoys having been counted in one place only. The Nhah Manxill was then cannonaded for three hours, and was carried at dusk, after one of the severest fights ever witnessed. On the 16th the Mess-House was carried by assault, after a heavy cannonade, and the troops then pushed on rapidly and seized the Motee Mahu before dark. Outram and Havelock came out then and joined the Commander-in-Chief. ing to Cawnpore, under a guard of Sikh horse men, an arrangement that neatly proved fatal. As they approached the British camp, they were mistaken by the seamen of Peel's Naval Brigade for the advanced guard of the enemy, when the guns, loaded with grape, were levelled and about to be fired. Luckily, the face of the European sur geon was recognised in time to prevent mischief. The Commander-in-Chief had with him a Euro pean Horse Battery, two troops of Horse Artil lery, 60 Royal Artillerymen, with two 18-pound ers and two 8 inch mortars ; 320 of the 9th Lancers, detachments of her Majesty's sth, Bth, 53d, 1 75th, and 93d, and 300 of the Naval Brigade, or including the 900 joining him from Alumbagh, above 3,000 Europeans in all ; be sides a squadron of Sikhs and of Hodson's horse, 1,000 Sikh Infantry, Sappers and Miners, arc., or an additional 2,000 natives. On the 13th, he advanced to the banks of the canal, dispersing the rebels who approached him, I.nd capturing all their guns. On the 15th, the rebels, after a running fight of a couple of hours, were driven from the Dilkosha and IA Martiniere. They shortly after rallied, however, and made an attack on the British position, when a seven, re pulse was sustained by them. Durin these three days Lieut. Mayne, Horse Artillery, and Captain Wheatcroft, Carabineers, were killed. We had chiefly depended on our artillery, wisely avoiding the needless exposure of our infantry to desperate men. On the 15th the canal was crossed which separates Alumbagh from Lucknow, the chief ad vancing on Secunderbagh, which was carried after The Commander-in-Chief was very slightly wounded, and of his staff Major Alison,severely, and Captains Alison and the H. A. Anton, slightly. The following officers werekilled ;--Midshipman Damien, Naval Brigade ; Captain Headley, Royal Artillery ; Captain Dalzell, 93d ; Capt. Lumsden, 30th Native Infantry, doing duty with 93d; and Lieutenant Frankland, 2d Punjaub Infantry. Twenty-seven other officers were wounded. The list goes by this mail. The Commander-in-Chief reports that the garrison has been removed, and that he is engaged in conveying women and wounded to the rear. The city of Lucknow will be held in check by a strong moveable column, with field and heavy artillery, occupying a good military position outside the town. The Fort of Antrowahes eva cuated by the enemy, and razed to the ground by Colonel Southden, who intended returning in stantly to the Jaunpore frontier, as it ' was still threatened by a large force from Oude. Lieut. Osborne, political agent in Rewah, has been authorised to detach a force to suppress the insurrection in Bijerargoogurh, and to take the administration in his own hands. He reports that certain chiefs of Majher have broken out in rebellion at Rewah itself. The agent seems to be all right now. A body of mutineers reported on the 10th to have advanced from Ghorawal or Mezzapore district, and to have crossed the Beglun into Rewah territory. The fort of Dhur occupied by our troops on the 15th, but the rebel garrison escaped. It is apprehended that the mutiny of the Cotah troops, and the disaffection among the feudatories of Meyar and Marnear may cause serious disorder in Rajpootan a. The force there is very weak, and European troops are urgently called for. From other native States there is no new intelligence of an unfavourable nature. The following vessels have arrived since the despatch of the last mails : Nov. 8, Barham ; Nov. 13, Victoria and John Bell ; Nov. 16, Octavia, Agamemnon, and Alnwick Castle ; Nov. 17, Cressy, and Champion of the Seas ; Nov. 19, James Baines ; Nov. 20, Hammond ; Nov. 22, Chartage, and Sir Robert Sale ; Nov. 23, Ellenborough ; Nov. 24, Cala bar ; Nov. 24, Monarch, Calabar, and Aliquiz. G. F. EDMONSTONE, Secretary to the Government of India. a severe struggle, the enemy suffering terribly. Having garrisoned each position as we advanced, the Samuch was attacked about three o'clock in the afternoon, and after a tremendous cannonade, was carried about dust. Sir Colin Campbell de scribes it as one of the most severe fights he had ever witnessed, and few men have seen more hard fighting than he. Early on the morning of the 17th communications were opened to the left rear of the barracks towards the canal. A heavy can nonade having been kept up all the morning on the mess-house, that very strong position was carried by assault at three p.m., when the troops, pushing on rapidly, were able to seize the Motee Mahal before dark. Sir Colin Campbell now ap proached the brave garrison, who had been closely beset since the 25th of September, when Generals Outram and Havelock came out to meet him. Although the enemy was not com pletely subdued, the communications with the rear were all re-opened, and the sick and wounded, the ladies and children, were despatched under escort to Cawnpore. Our loss, though conside rable, was less so than might have been looked for. Capt. Hardly, Royal Artillery, Capt. Dal sell, 93d Highlanders, Capt. Lumsden, of the late 30th Bengal Native Infantry, attached to the 93d, Lieut. Frankland, 2d Punjaub Infantry, and Midshipman Damien, Naval Brigade, were killed. Thirty-two officers were wounded—two danger ously, and eighteen severely. Our latest tidings extend only to the 21st, and have been supplied by electric telegraph alone, so as to be in the last degree meagre and incomplete. On that date, two telegraph assistants were murdered at Alum bagh, and we must now wait for further intelli gence. The routes from Cawnpore westward are still so interrupted, that the mails are in the last degree irregular, or we should before now have had full particulars by letter. It is more than probable that tidings, considerably later than any we can at present give, will be forwarded for our London contemporaries by the steamer this even ing. There is much yet to be done in Oude, but the Commander-in-Chief has now a numerous force at his disposal ; and Luckuow being re lieved, can consult his owu convenience in matter of time. We have no longer any occasion for those headlong and deadly assaults, which, heroic and irresistible as they are, are accompanied with frightful sacrifice of life, which greater caution, and the full use of our artillery, may avoid. The force in all now in Oude amounts to close on 12,000 men, consisting of the 9th Lancers, ' the Naval Brigade, the let Madras Fusiliers, her 'Majesty's sth, Bth, 23d, 32d, 53d, 64th, 75tb, 78th, 82d, 84th, and 80th Re gimentv, with a magnificent park of Artillery, a portion of the Rifle Brigade, Royal and Madras Sappers and Miners, the Sikh Infantry and Ca valry—ably commanded and in the highest state of efficiency. was failing him, bad never been cancelled, and that a timid dread of responsibility had disabled the local authorities from thinking for them selves, or rising to the occasion. The first mani• festation of this was in sparing the life of the King of Delhi, and the princes who were shot were so only to prevent a rescue, or they also might have been spared. The hoary royal traitor now occupit-s the palace, has a guard and retinue assigned to him, and insults the British officers whoyisit him. Hip youngest son, a lad of eighteen, has, on the ground of his youth, been declared innocent, and tra verses Delhi on an elephant of state, with a couple of English officers in his train. A mili- tary commission has meanwhile been sitting to obtain formal legal evidence against men caught in the fact. Twenty-four of the junior members of the royal family, having been convicted on evidence that might have satisfied a Chancellor Eldon, were on the 21st hanged all together ; and if we are to extinguish the mutiny, and convince the insurgents that we are not at all afraid of them, we must content ourselves occasionally with pre sumptive evidence, or strong moral proof. Your murderer seldom bungles his work so as to leave living witnesses to testify against him. CHINA. CALCUTTA, Nor. 24. From E. Edmonstone, EN., Secretary to the Government of India. Political Intelligence ex Alma, Suez, Dec. 22. —General Ashburnam was to leave China in the Ava, and an attack on Canton was contemplated to take place in a few days after the steamer should have arrived from Aden, by the Ajdaha, the Alma having broken her main shaft. The following telegram, dated 27th December, 1 a.m., was received at the Foreign-office, from Lord Lyons at Malta, at 6.40 a.m. : " The Vectis has brought the Calcutta mail a the 24th November, fully confirming the relief of Lucknow, but nothing more. "Lord LYONS." MALTA, DEC. 27. The Alma, from Calcutta, arrived at Sues on :he 22d Nov. Her dates are to the 25th, and 'rom Point de Galle the 2d inst. The accounts confirm the entire occupation of Lucknow, and the conveyance of the women, children, and sick to Cawnpore. The Imperatrice, with troops, and four gun boats, had arrived at Hong Kong. ARRIVAL OF THE BOMBAY MAIL. We have received by special express, in antici pation of the Overland Mail, our despatches from Bombay, dated December 4. The following is the aummary of the Bombay Times of that date ; RELIEF OF LUCKNOW. In our last we mentioned the arrival of Grant's column at Cawnpore, on the 27th Oct. When crossing the Ganges they arrived at Alumbagh on the Ist Nev. It had now become known that Outram and Havelock were not only holding their Own, but were suffering comparatively little injury from the almost unceasing fire kept upon them by the enemy. They Were prov i s i one d f or wee k s , and as there was und ers t oo d t o b e a b o ve one hurt. died thousand rebels in arms around, Sir Colin Campbell wisely resolved to delay the final attack until the force at his disposal should have assem bled in sufficient strength to be irresistible. His Excellency and staff reached Cawnpore on the 3d, having, as formerly stated, narrowly escaped being captured by the enemy on the road. Al though it was known in August that 30,000 men were on the way from England, the arrange ments for pushing them on appear to have been deferred till olds() upon their arrival. To this source of detention, the teasing de lays that followed are mainly ascribed. Troops were now mustering in strength at Cawnpore. On the 9th, the sth, 53d, 84th, and 93d, with portions of other regixolgos, crossed the Ganges, and were speedily followed by the Naval Brigade, who dragged their 24 guns along with them, as if they had been toys. Large sup plies of provisions had by this time been sent into \ Alumbagh, and arrangements of all sorts were made with the caution required, and deliberation permitted by the occasion. Sir C)lin Campbell left Cawnpore on the 11th, and rode 40 miles at • a stretch in the direction cf Luckuow. The sick and wounded, left by Havelock at Alumbagh, were sent into his camp, with the view of return- ROHILCUND. The tidings from Rohilcund, sent home by the mail of the 17th November, came down to the sth and were in general very satisfactory. They con tinue of the same complexion, and extend a fort night further on. In the end of October, Colonel Cotton's force, having captured Futtehpore Sikree, a place thrice the size of Agra, reached Muttra on the Ist of November. After a day's rest they left again on the 3d, marching twenty miles on a stretch, to a town called Jhet. The place was surrounded by our cavalry, when the rebels were found to have decampei several hours before. Pushing on beyond this a eamelman was 'killed by the rebels in a village close by, when they were immediately attacked and dispersed, and the place destroyed. On returning to Agra, the force was taken charge of by Colonel Riddell, who marched on the 14th, in the direction of Allyghur and Bolundshuhur, with the view of watching the movements of the rebel chief Walleedad Khan, who was encamped, with a large following on the left bank of the Ganges. Here, united with MajarEld's detachment, they were to push on to Mynpoorie, where the Rajab had been trouble some. On the 17th they reached Secundra Rao, on tae Grand Trunk road. Beyond this our in formation does not extend. On the 19th Nov. the Allyghur detachment, under MAjor Rd, moving up the Kutcha Ghaut, and finding a body of the Rohilcund insurgents on the opposite bank, opened fire on them, killing 28 and wounding 30. SHOWERS' COLUMN. The accounts of the operations of Showers' column contained in our last, extencjed to the 31st of October, when having swept the country raund, a little breathing space was required at Kanoud. From this he returned to Rewaree, where a subadar and company of the Guides were in charge of the town. Showers next marched on Goorgaon, twenty miles from Delhi, where the main column halted. A detachm-nt of the Cara bineers were from this sent off to Furrucknuggur, where twenty rebel troopers were taken and shot. They had hitherto been skirting the hills —they now entered them, and passed through a range of fine valleys, flanked on each side by elevations from three to six hundred feet in height. The object was to punish the Marwar mountain tribes, branches of which extend in this direction a long way from their customary homes. The villages were burned, and the rebels shot in all directions. They found the uniforms of European soldiers, of officers, and of Sepoys in profusion everywhere— proof sufficient of the share the mountaineers had taken in the revolt. The column returned to Delhi on the 9th. It started again almost im mediately for Meerut, en route to Bewar, where the enemy were said to be mustering in strength. In the beginning of the month, Colonel Gerrard was ordered to make a demonstration towards Rewaree. By the 13th he had reached Kanoud, in pursuit of the Joudpoor Legion, said then to be at Narnoul. Ho was joined on the way by a de tachment under Captain Stafford, when they at tacked, and after a severe encounter defeated five thousand of the enemy, capturing ail their guns, six in number. The enemy advanced to meet us about eleven o'clock, and the contest . lasted till late in th e a ft ernoon , w h en the Serai on which they rested was captured at sun-set. Our loss amounted to about seventy killed, Cul. Gerrard amongst the number. DELHI. The doomed city, though no longer the scene of our anxieties, continues the centre of activity in the North-West. It is here, the chief scene of rebellion, where the sternest vengeance might hare been looked for; and here Isnhappilv we find that mawkish htimatiity which evory 111 - 411,1 1 11141 1 condemns, and every native ascribes to tear) must prevalent. It is said that the unwise orders of Mr. Colvin, issued when his once powerful mind MALWA. We gave in our last tidings of the outbreak at Mehidpoor, in which Captain Mills and Dr. Care) were slain on the rising of part of the contingent. Brigadier Stuart's column was then moving ra pidly in this direction. On the 11th the cavalry, under Major Orr, occupied Mehidpoor, the rebels having left the previous day. On the 12th he marched out with 337 men of the Ist, 3d, and 4th Hyderabad Cavalry, and overtook the insur gents to the number of 500, with two guns, at Rawul, where they had resolved to make a stand. They were immediately attacked and dispersed by our cavalry, who cut up above a hundred of them, two nine-pounder guns, with a large number of carts loaded with ordnance stores, being captured. In the course of the pursuit, the enemy abandoned the three guns they had taken at Mehidpoor, with two others of large calibre, seized by them at Burn uggur. Our casual ties were inconsiderable ; Lieutenant Samuelie was dangerously wounded, and Captains Murray and Clarke had their horses shot under them. The enemy were dispersed in all directions ; 76 prisoners were taken, and tried four days after wards by drumhead court-martial at Mehidpoor, and shot, as having been found in the field against us. On the 11th part of the force crossed the Chumbul and encamped on the other side, two marches from, Mundesore. Some 8,000 rebels were said to have taken up a position in neighbourhood. On the 21st, the enemy attacked our left front and threatened our right. They were driven into Mundesore with heavy loss. The cavalry pursued Heera Singh, with his horsemen, and drove them into a village about ten miles from Mundesore, on the Neemuch road, where the rebel force appeared in strength, and showed its standards. On the 23d Stuart's main column marched in this direction, and found the enemy advancing to meet them. They took up a posi tion, with the strong village wf Goorareea in their centre, overlapping very considerably both our flanks. The guns on their left centre having been silenced by our artillery, were captured by her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons. They were now driven from ,their principal position with heavy loss, a body of them not the less continuing obstinately to maintain a portion of the village. While engaged in front, the garrison of Mundesore sallied out and attacked our rear, but were repulsed by the rear-guard. On the 24th the rebels abandoned Mundesore in the course of the night, and retired on Nagurb, in the direc tion of Rampoora. The casualties of the four days were—Lieutenant Redmayne, 14th Light Dragoons, killed ; and 8 rank and file wounded. Lieutenant James, severely wounded in the arm ; Lieutenant Martin, severely wounded in the leg ; Lieutenant Prendergast, slightly wounded, and four other officers slightly. Sixty-eight rank and file of other corps were killed and wounded. NEEMUCH. : One of the centres of disturbance for many months past has been Neemuch, a town in the Gwalior territory, with a British cantonment, on the north-west border of Malwa. The post, though not large, is one of much importance, and has from time to time been occupied by Bombay and • Bengal troops alternately, occasionally by both together. Of late it has been lightly garri- ' soned, and long and heavily beset by danger from without. In the beginning of the month from 2,000 to 3,000 insurgents had mustered under the walls, with a view of attacking the fort, at this time unusually weak in troope. The garrisou, with the exception of the cavalry, were completely besieged, and compelled to abandon the canton ments and fortify themselves in the square. They had fortunately a sufficiency of provisions, held well together, and experienced no apprehension of their position—often half the battle in cases of siege. The fire of the enemy did them little harm, while few of our shots were thrown away ; • strange to tell, our own former cantonmente afforded the principal shelter for the insurgents. On the 21st the Mundesore rebels attempted to escalade the 'place, but were beaten off with such heavy loss that they withdrew altogether on the following day. During the fortnight's siege two European officers and four Sepoys had been wounded, none of them severely—the 12th Bombay Native Infantry in particular conducted themselves nobly. On the 22d the rebels were attacked and defeated by Stuart's column, driven . from point to point, with the loss of all their guns, and the neighbourhood effectually relieved of the • annoyance of their presence. BOMBAY. MICELLANBOI7I.—Her Majesty's steam-ship Cordelia has been with us for the past week from the Kooria Moorias, for which she leaves to-mor row, with water and provisions. She was sent out some mouths back with the view of keeping order amongst the Arabs while we were robbing them of their guano. Up to the present date no disorder had occurred. In a postscript dated Dec. 4, our Bombay cor respondent writes ;—" The Gwalior mutineers have not thought fit to wait for General Windham to reconnoitre them. Letters from Agra, of Nov. 23, describe them in retreat again to Cal pee. The Bheels at Joanhoor have been dispersed. 200 men of the 18th and 56th arrived here yes terday, and the Ist Royals have arrived at Masuli patam on their way to BEydrabad." THE RELIEF OF LUCIENOW. The Delhi Gazette contains the following ex_ tract of a letter from Brigadier Hope Grant's camp t Camp, 6 miles from Alumbagh, Nov. 3, 1857. We had our first fight in Oude yesterday, but it was the mildest affair that has taken place since we left Delhi. We marched from our last ground at 7 o'clock, with the intention of encamping on a large plain 14 mile near Lacknow, there to await Sir Colin Campt ell. We had nob gonea mile before our advanced guard was fired upon by the enemy, who had taken up a position in a large village near the road. We were soon in the thickest ~f it and were not long in turning our friends the Mattadeens out of their position, after which we could not persuade them to come within musket shot. It was with great difficulty our cavalry managed to come up with their rear. We bsgged upwards of 100 of them in the village, and after wards took the only two guns they had. Our loss amounted to 1 killed and about ten wounded. Some of the 44th Native Infantry men were killed fighting against us, and actually had their leave certificates on them. We have taught theZe mindars, a number of whom were opposed to us yesterday, a lesson they are not likely to forget in a hurry. Every village for miles round has been burnt to the ground, and the whole country seems as if it was on fire. After pursuing the fugitives to within two miles of Aliumbagb, we retired to this place.

The following is from a correspondent of the flurkartc, with the relievigg force in Oude : Camp about 12 miles from Lucknow, 4th Nov. —We have been encamped here for three days waiting for Sir Colin, who is expected in camp to day. We have hitherto met with no opposition, though our movements are most narrowly watched by the evaporating enemy. On the 31 they expected us to march as we always do at four or three in the morning, ar►d had filled a village with infantry, intending, it is supposed, to allow our column to , ass and then to attack and loot our luggage• As luck would have it, an order came which caused us to break up our camp and march at daylight, so we lisappointed our friends, and instead of plunder ing, as they expected, they were killed and burnt out themselves. • • a a Yesterday some sixteen villages were burnt round our camp. We have never done this where unop dosed, but opposition rules the men, and incen liarism is a sure consequence. Now we are in Oude we can scarcely make a mistake. The whole cowl• try is risen, under their chiefs, against us ; and lo ess we show that to be a losing game, they will tancy that we are weak and unable to punish; from what I saw on the 3d, the enemy we have to deal vith here is utterly to be despised away from their loopholed walls and cover. I never saw large bodies of men absquotulate so suddenly in my tie ; like figures in a magic lantern, they are here, and in a moment vanish entirely. This is a g - ood deal to be accounted for by the fact of the greater part of the country being covered by high ower crops, so high that an army can hide itse lf although close to you. The sugar-cane kates are dso splendid cover, and save hundreds of wretches from the sabres of our cavalry. Sir Colin Campbell crossed the Ganges into Oude on the 9th ult., opposite Cawnpore en, route ror Lucknow, and arrived at Alumbagh on the 12th. We had at the latter date about 9,0 00 fresh troops (Europeans) between Cawnpore and Lucknow, and in the latter place. The Hurkar t4 )f the 14th inst. says : A letter from Cawnpore, dated 9th instant, in" f ,rrns us that the Commander-in-Chief had left for Lucknow at 10 o'clock that morning, keeping hie leparture ve:y quiet, and taking with him half of he 9th Lancers and some Punjab cavalry that had been left there for him. The force novr in Oude, including those under General Havelock, amounted t o about 9,000 men, of whom 2,000 were cavalry . The heavy guns, voider Captain Peel and the Jack Pars, had gone on, and it was believed that Sir Colin Campbell intended giving our guns a chance it theirs this time, and saving his infantry as much as he could. This, no dohbt, is the most prude nt course that coul d be adopted. It was rumoured that in the street fight at Lucknow, - the 90th Light Infantry had lost 14 officers, including their cora oanding officer Colonel Campbell. The Gwalior force was still believed to be hovering about the place, but it was hoped rather than feared that they would attack it. The 53d and Tars had had a pretty sharp affair on their way up from Alla habad. They attacked with about 600 men a body of five thousand rebels in a strong position. The latter stood and cheered our men as they came on ; they must have fought very well, as our loss was 100 killed and wounded ; and though they are said to have lost 250, the great bulk got away. It is believed that Sir Colin was not well pleased, for he has since given orders that troops coming up are only to defend themselves, and not to go out of iheir way to attack rebels. Officers who have recently arrived from Bug land find this very different from the Crimea, where they had no marching. We hear that naws was received in Calcutta yesterday to the effect that all was going on very well at Lucknow. The Commander-in-Chief was shelling the city on two sides. He had enough artillery to pound the place to atoms, and suffi• cient cavalry to follow up any advantage. It was said to be Sir Colin's intention to make the best use of these arms, and spare hia infantry for close quarters. It is added that Sir Colin had communicated several times with Sir Jae Outram, who said that he could hold out for some time, and advised his friends not to begin work until they were strong enough to do it decisively.--H ur k aru , Nov. 16. The following intelligence from Oude has been supplied by the Government of India to the press at Calcutta : From Cawnpore, NOT. 14, 8 p.m. From Gen. Windham to the Governor-General. News from the Commander-in-Chiefs camp at Mumbagb, 9 a. m. of the 13th ; after several skir mishes in the day, ending in the capture of two guns, the fort of Jullalabad was taken and blown up. The Commander-in-Chief has communicated with Sir James Uutram. From Cawnpore, 16th Nov., 11 a.m. From Capt. Bruce, by order of his Excellency the Commander-i , t-Chief, to the Governor-General. The Commander -in-Chief occupied the Dilkhoosah and the Martiniere after a running fight of two hours yesterday at noon. The enemy came for ward to attack at 3 p.m. After a struggle of an hour he was beaten back ; repulsed heavily. An advanced picquet having cleared some villages across the canal, we took post there for the night. Our loss was very trifling—Lieut. Mayne, Horse Artillery, Quartermaster -General's Department, and Lieut. Wheatcroft, Carabineers, killed. From Alumbagh, Nov. 17, 9 a.m. From Major Sibley to the. Secretary to Govern- men*. The Commander-in-Chief in Lucknow; heavy cannonade in the direction of the palaces. Dilk hoosah and Martiniere occupied by our troops. Many of our readers may not understand the purport of the above despatch from Government about the cannonading in the direction of the palaces ; the object of the cannonading may in consequence be quite unintelligible to them. Being, however, well acquainted with Lucknovr, we (Hurkaru) are enabled to explain that the palaces consist of a group of buildings called the Mahals, or the residences of Wajid Ali Shah's 300 wives. These palaces stand between the Dil Khooaa (Heart's Delight) and the Martiniere, at present in the occupation of Sir Colin Campbell, end the Ballyguard, or Residency, in the occupa tion of Sir James Outrun, is,thus planed between two fires, and has to be driven from the Mahals, after which the force under Sir Colin Campbell join that of Sir James Outran. , Though these palaces are an extensive structure of brick walls and houses, they are of very weak construc tion, and would soon crumble under a cannonade f shell and round shot * From Matheran, from Lord Elphinstone, Tuesday, Dec. 1, 1857, 9-35 a.m. The following message was received this morning fcau2 Lord Harris, at Madras, dated Nor. 30 Alma arrived yesterday from Calcutta. Severe fighting from 15th to 19th N ovember. Bir Colin Campbell had taken moat of the important fortified posts in the town. Great slaughter of the rebels, but they had not yet been entirely beaten.

Head-quarters, Sicunderbagh, Lucknow, November 18, 1867. On the 16th the Commander-in-Chief advance d across the canal strai g ht on Secunderbagb , which was carried after a severe struggle---the enemy suffering enormously. These positions having been occupied, the Samuch was attacked with heavy artillery for three hours. It was carried at dusk, after one of the severest fights ever witnessed. Early on the rich communications were opened to the left rear of the barracks towards the canal. A cannonade having been kept up all the morning In the Mess-house, that very strong position was car ried by assault at 3 p.m. The troops pushed 'ra pidly ou after carrying the Mess-house, and were able to seize the Motee Mahal before dark. Sir J. Outram and Sir H. Havelock then came out to meet the Commander-in-Chief. The Commander in -Chief's wound is very slight, and does not in terfere with his duty. OFFICERS KILLED AND WOUNDED.
