Arrah, and the insurrection at Behar, would in all human probability have been averted. But . _ General LLOYD was a very easy-going gentleman. He did not see any necessity for such decisive measures ; and his opinion, of course, regulated the conduct of the authorities at Calcutta. He relied on the fidelity of his men, and we have seen the result of this mistaken confidence. Nor did he redeem his previous vacillation by energy or decision when the mutiny was actually dis played. In place of promptly suppressing the first symptoms of disaffection, he gave them ample time to arrange their plans and to escape with their weapons and ammunition. Nay, the 7th and Bth Regiments of Native Infantry carried their colours with them, beating the big drum as they went. It is said that the General, actuated by " the better part of valour," removed to a steamer lying in the river, leaving the English soldiers to act for themselves. Many of the mutineers were subsequently killed, but it is quite obvious that decided and energetic con duct ih the first instance would have nipped the untoward movement in the very bud. LATEST NEWS THE OVERLAND MAIL. THE MUTINIES IN INDIA. Our Calcutta papers of the Bth of August, and those from China of the 25th July, have reached us byExtraordinaryExpress. The intelligence is of the highest interest, as we gather from it the im portant fact that the retreat of General Havelock, with his sick and wounded, to Cawnpore on the 31st of July, was of a very temporary character ; for, having obtained more than adequate reinforce ments, this brave and distinguished officer pro• ceeded on the Ist of August, full of confidence, on his onward march to the relief of Luckuow, which he expected to reach on the Bth of that month. May every success, say we, attend him in his glorious enterprise ! (Front the Bengal Hurl:aril, Aug 8.) SIIMMARY.—A fortnight has passed away since we last wrote our Summary, and how do we stand ? Then the thermometer was low ; now, we regret to record, it is lower, and falling, fall ing still. The successful mutiny of the native troops at Dinapore, the insurrection of the 12th Irregular Cavalry at Segowlie, the rising of the Zemindars in a portion of Behar, the revolt of the troops at Hazarebagh, and on our south-east ern frontier, have brought the troubled waters nearer to our o*n doors ;_ but though an incalcu lable amount of mischief has been thereby caused, this is almost counterbalanced by the fact that these disastrous 'events have at last opened our rulers' eyes to the magnitude of the crisis. Not three weeks have elapsed since a deputation of Calcutta merchants waited upon the Governor- General, and represented the vast amount of in terests at stake at Tirhoot, and earnestly solicited the disarming of the three native regiments at Dinapore ; they pointed out how this might be easily effected : how a steamer conveying an Eu ropean regiment might stop for three hours at Dinapore, whilst the men, aided by H.M.'s 10th Foot, could perform the operation. In vai❑ : not an hour could be spared : troops were so urgently required elsewhere—for this, or for some equally powerful reason, the recommendation of the mer cantile community was not adopted. Had their advice been taken the troops would have been delayed three hours, and would have proceeded on their journey rejoicing ; because it was not taken, those troops and others, " whose services are most urgently required in the north-west," will be detained in the Behar district for weeks, it not for months. Our European troops, for the first time during the insurrection, have met not only a check, but a very severe loss, and the whole of Behar has been placed, momentarily only we trust, at the mercy of 3,000 insurgents flushed with success and eager for pillage. Measures have been taken to intercept the insurgents before they can cross the Ganges at Buxar, and directed as those measures have been by a very able officer, Major Vincent Eyre, we have every hope that they will be successful. Should they fail, and should the Sepoys cross there or elsewhere, they will probably attempt to reach Oude by the Ghaze pore and Azimgurh routes. We believe, however, that Major Eyre's vigilance will have forestalled them. For his conduct during the mutiny at Dinapore Major-General Lloyd has been removed from his command, and General Outram has been invested with supreme military control over the united Cawnpore and Dinapore - Divisions. Brigadier-General Havelock's operations tell their own tale. We left him in our last summary just arrived at Cawnpore. The sight that there met him and the troops under his command is too horrible for relation. It will be recollected that on the 15th July he fought with and defeated Nana Sahib at the action of Pandoo Nuddy. At that engagement the Nana was not present. On hearing of its result, so untoward to himself, he ordered all his captives to be massacred. They had been increased, it is believed, by sons , . fugitives from Futteygurh. All of these were deli berately murdered in cold blood, their arms and legs cut off, and thrown into a well. The ladies, too, shared the same fate. It had one effec', however. When our soldiers entered Cawnpore on the 17th, and realised the awful spectacle, they were filled with but one feeling—a maddening desire to be led against the villain who had per petrated those fiend-like acts. On the 19th Bithoor was occupied ; on the 26th and 27th, a force numbering 1,600 fighting men crossed the Ganges ; on the 19th they fought two bloody but successful actions at Oonao and Bissaruthgunj : on the 30th and 31st, Gen. Havelock sent back his wounded and sick to Cawnpore, and received in lieu rein forcements to a greater extent. On the Ist Aug. he recommenced his march towards Lusknow, and was confident of being able to reach it on the Bth (yesterday). In the last action the enemy fired kunkur and telegraph wire from his guns, thus showing the barrenness of his supplies. Our force still continued before Delhi ; if, up to the latest dates, that city had remained ur)- captured, it is equally a fact that the enemy had been repulsed with heavy loss in all their attacks. Many of these were of a very serious nature, and from ten to twelve hours in duration. Fighting sheltered behind parapets and towers, or ensconced in houses, the rebels had shown not only a bold but a strong front. But whenever they had appeared in the open, the superiority of Plassey, Deig, and Assayo had been conspicuously main tained. The force was at the latest date com manded by Brigadier Gen. Wilson, of the Artil lery, an officer of high reputation—his two prede cessors, Generals thriaard. and Reid, having been carried off by cholera within a few days of one another. It was not for two days that the step of sending out a detachment for the relief of the parties assailed at Arrah, by the mutineers from Dina pore, was taken. We fancy that there must have been far more than eight Europeans endangered at Arrah ; but even if that number of our brethren only were placed in jeopardy, it would be quite sufficient to have juetified—nay, more, to have rendered imperative an attempt at rescue. The attempt failed, and with very serious loss, 200 of our men being killed and wounded, but that ap pears to have been occasioned by the want of caution on the part of the commanding officer, Captain DUNBAR, of the 10th, who marched at night through an unknown country, and thus fell into the snare spread for his reception. It was truly fortunate that the disarmament was effected at Berhampore ere it was too late, and other victims were added to the black cata logue. The value of steamboats on the river, which we have advocated from the very begin ning, has been clearly established by the proceed ings at Dinapore, Berhampore, and other riveraine districts. There should not have been a moment's delay in securing such important auxiliaries on every point where they could be made available. The mistake of General LLOYD led to the rising in Behar, the insurrection at Patna, and the terrible proceeding at Arrah. Re will have a heavy ac count to render to his country for the sad conse quences of his indecision. At Cawnpore, General NEILL. had devised a suitable punishment for the bloodthirsty miscreants concerned in the abominable massacre of the women and children. "He had compelled," says the Bengal Hurkaru, "all the high caste Brahmins whom he could capture among the sepoys, to col lect the bloody clothes of the victims, and wash up the blood from the floor, a European soldier standing over each man with a "cat" and admi nistering it with vigour whenever he relaxed his exertions. The wretches having been subjected to this degradation, which of course includes loss of caste, are then hanged one after another. The punishment is said to be General NEILL's own invention, and its infliction has gained him great credit." It is said that the mock " King of DELHI had been hanged." We fear it is too good news to be true. We do not see by whom the act of justice could have been performed, unless it was the mutineers themselves who had elevated their quondam, idol. W cannot speak in very satisfactory terms of the present tidings. That relating to the renewed march of General HAVELOCK, and the disarma ment at Berhampore are the only pleasing features in the entire accounts, which will be found in extenso in another part of our impression. " Better lato than never !" Even at the eleventh hour, it is satisfactory to find that a step has been taken which ought not have been delayed a single moment. We find that orders have been received at Southampton from Govern ment to fit up the Indian mail packet Ripon, which leaves for Alexandria on Sunday morning, for the conveyance of 200 troops, who are to pro ceed to India overland through Egypt. The troops will embark on board the Ripon at Malta. If even 200 men can thus be sent, why may not a far greater number ? They could easily be spared from Malta, and other garrisons is the Me diterranean ; and there could be no greater ob jection to private soldiers being sent as second-class, than to officers as first-class passengers. There could not, under any circumstances, have been much difficulty inlprocuring the necessary permission either from the SULTAN or the PASHA. England has made too many sacrifices both in men and money for the benefit of the Ottoman Empire, and it would be base ingratitude if any impediments were opposed in a matter wherein no possible injury could be inflicted on either Turkey or Egypt. We cannot compliment the compilers of the Government telegraphic intelligence very highly on the accuracy of their summaries. The exami nation of the accounts must be of a very cursory and careless description, when the most important part of the tidings is altogether withheld, and the public mind very needlessly alarmed, through the negligence or incapacity of the officials. The re treat of General HAVELOCK to Cawnpore, after being 25 miles on his way to Lucknow, within a single day's march of the beleaguered city, for the pnrpose of leaving his sick, considerably in creased from cholera, and of obtaining reinforce ments, was of a truly alarming character. It seemed as if the garrison and fugitives at Luck now had been abandoned to their fate, and that the condition of the gallant and indefatigtle General, marching to their relief, must have been such as to excite grave apprehensions, when he felt the exigencies of his position to be such as to Compel him to abandon his labour of love. Had its however, been stated that his retreat was of a 'very temporary character, and that, having placed hie sick and wounded, together with many of the captured • guns, in a place of secnri , T, nd obtained adequate reinforcements, he had a Zaie) on th e I st of Aug ust , proceeded full I . ' confidence on his onward march to tLe relief of Luckeew, these very natty al apprehensions would have been allayed, and the doubt and gloom that occupied the national mind, averted. The news was not so very good, on the Vaal°, that an y portion could h ave been spared which might have relieved the anxiety. Many complaints have been put forward as to the inefficiency of the authorities both at Calcutta and. Dinapore, which have led - to the removal of Qe'aeral LLOYD, and the appointment of General c TRAM to the command of the divisiou3 of Dina . Pore and Cawypore. It is said that a deputation • pf Calcutta merchants had waited on Lord CAN 2"zro, earnestly soliciting the disarming of the tb'ree native regiments at Dinapore, and pointing vut how it might easily be effected. This was that a steamer, conveying an European Regiment, might atop for three hours at Dinapore, and that with the assistance of H.M. 10th Regiment, atrbtioned on the spot, the disarmament 'might have been accomplished without diffi culty or danger. The salutary warning was, however, disregarded. The few hours' delay 'could nct be sanctioned. Had it been so, the mutiny at Dinapore, the deplorable loss of life at We suppose, however, that it was to save a little trouble to the Consul at Alexandria that the wise and salutary measure has so long been delayed. Indeed, we believe that gentleman is taking holiday, and amusing himself at a time when matters of vast importance are ventilated respecting the district where his duties require all his efforts. In reference to India, we want the earliest possible intelligence and the most prompt and energetic action. The Electric Telegraph can alone satisfy the exigencies of the case in the former respect ; the steady despatch of troops in the latter. Where, the - u, is the Consul-General at this emergency —when his services are so urgqntly manded It may be that the vacillation and indecision of the Leadenhall-street Board, " the penny wise and pound foolish" policy of Mr. SMITH of Cannon•row, may prevent, or rather re tard the laying down of the Red Sea line. But were it otherwise, the absence of the Consul might be productive of very untoward results. The War-office may not have displayedthe x equi site activity in sending out artillerymen and sol diers by the overland route. But, were it otherwise, the consul could not have afforded his assistance in making all the necessary arrangements. We ask, then, again, where is the Consul-General at this moment ? and what excuse can he offer for his absence from his post ? _ _ We hail the step of sending out even 200 men as a step in the right direction, which must he followed by similar measures of a more energetic character. Every vessel that passes up the Medit erranean s h ou ld conve y her quota of soldiers. Every caravan passing the desalt should be ac companied by English red coats, and every steamer that could be effective on the rivers should hasten thereto. No time should be lost in adopting any useful measure. Zeal and energy should take the pl ac e of apathy and carelessness, which should no long€'r be tolerated, either on the part of Ministers or of their employes. Every man, from the hi g h, d to the lowegt, must faithfully and efficiently dis charge his duty, or answer to the nation for the consequences of his negligence. Tae Marquis of Exeter is expected at Burghley House shortly, from a tour in Switzerland. The wisdom of disarming every regiment re. cruited in Oude has been evidenced by the stale of affairs in the Punjaub. The stations where that measure was carried out have remained perfectly quiet : the others, where it was neglected, have been the scenes of turbulence and uproar. The 55th Native Infantry at Jhelum, the 46th N.I. and 9th Cavalry at Sealkote, have all mutinied, and inflicted some damage. The two latter corps were, by the latest accounts, being hotly pursued by Brigadier Nicholson, who had already inflicted some chastisement upon them, as they endeavoured to cross the Chenab. Meanwhile, the Sikh:a con tinue loyal. - Under the energetic supervision of Sir John Lawrence many thousands of them are being armed and drilled. The manifesto issued against them by the Delhi insurgents, and the panislomonts or rather tortures inflicted on all who have fallen into their hands, entirely preclude the idea of the Sikhs ever making common cause with the Hindoostanees. We believe we can trust them ; it is necessary at all events that the experiment should be tried. Agra is still in the hands of the enemy; the fort is still in our possession, and as it is gar risoned by an European Regiment, and is well provisioned, no fears are entertained as to the ability of its garrison to hold out. It is, however, isolated, cut off from communication with the other parts of India ; the suzrounding districts THE S" ...N, LONEON, SArETRDAY_ EVFICING SErTIEMI3EIR 19, 1857 are held by insurgents, who seem to look upon the country as eternally lost to the British. Warned by the occurrences at Dinapore, the Government at last made au attempt, and fortu nately a successful attempt, to disarm the native regiments at Berhampore. This is the solitary item of good fortune the mail will take home. Everything else is dark and dreary as can well be. In Calcutta we have had another " panic," as he determination of the Calcutta public to be orearmed as well as forewarned is styled by one of the wise officials in this city. Had the Government been left to its own devices we might have seen on the 3d and 4th inst., another edition of the enteutes so successfully performed at Meerut, Lucknow, Azimgurh, Cawnpore, and Dinapore. The pertinacity of the Calcutta pub- .c and the resolution of ,the press, drove the Go- vernment to adopt precautionary measures, whilst It the same time they showed their sense of the impending danger by stationing strong night guards at Government House and at Balvidere, , he residence of Mr. Halliday. Happily these precautions proved sufficient, and the Mahomedan festival of the Bukreed pas3ed off more quietly han in any previous year in the recollection of the oldest inhabitant. Much of the credit of this is due to the Volunteer Guards, who, gen- Mrs. Laundel's boy, cholera, Mrs. Charley (Greenway ?), cholera. Mrs. Reid's child, diarrhoea.

Ac cording to the last accounts General Neill was compelling all the high caste Brahmins whom he could capture among the sepoys, to collect the bloody clotheS of the victims, and wash up the blood from the floor, a European soldier standing over each man with a " cat" and administering it with vigour whenever he relaxed in his exertions. The wretches having been subjected to this degradation, which of course includes loss of caste, are then hanged one after another. The punishment is said to be Gen. Neill'a own invention, and its infliction has gained him great crelit.—Bengal Harkaru, Aug. 7. DINAPORE AND ARRAH. The folowing is a short account of the mutiny at Dinapore on the 25th July : On the arrival of a detachment of his Majesty's 87th at Dinapora en route to Ghazeepore, the Bri gadier General took that opportunity of removing from the magazine (which was most imprudently built near the native lines) all the percussion caps and nearly all the ball cartridges to the Artillery barracks. Some sepoys immediately cried out, " They are removing our ammunition, stop it, and kill the officers." It is said the Assistant Adjutant General on hearing thi4, ordered the guns - to be brought forward, but th,3 order was almost imme diately countermanded 1 Soon after the General sent a message to the mutineers, at 6 or 7 a.m., that if they did not deliver up peaceably by 4 p.m. the ammunition, be would punish them. Thus the mutineers had aiout nine hours time to arrange rison duty. . . One measure has recently been determined upon by the ruling powers, which has called forth severe censures from the press. Whilet the whole of the north-west is under martial law, it has been resolved to send up a Bengal civilian, apparently to control the whole. The person selected is not only inexperienced, and unused to deal with Eurc peans, but ho is in every respect the most objec tionable individual who could have been appointed. Lord Ellenboreugh and Sir Charles Napier, not to speak of the Marquis of Wellesley and the Duke of Wellington, have over and over again pointed out the folly of the arrangement now de liberately consummated ; its evils were proved by the occurrences in Affghanistan ; in fact, they are patent to every one. We consider this the most mischievous measure adopted by the Gevernment, and the more so as Mr. Grant, the person selected, has never attempted to conceal his dislike of, and his contempt for, military men—the very class with whom he will be chiefly brought in contact. Our obituary list is very heavy this fortnight. their plans of aitack, &c. It seems they spent that time in filling their pouches with cartridges, and in sneaking off in small numbers out of cantonments. This move was not known till about half-past 2 o'clock, when signals were fired from the outpost stationed in the European Hospital. The alarm bin so Aided, the guns, six in num ber, were out and found the Jacks had got a start of a mile, after whom they sent soma round shot, which seems to have had no effect, for prob ibly not more than one of the rebels was Hured. Two com .. panies of mutineers took to boats with the intenti,ffl of calling in on the station of Bankipore and the city of Patna, but their intentions were frustrated by the execution of the rifles of her Majesty's 37th from shore and on board the steamer. The steamer's guns likewise opened upon them, and not a soul of those afl )at lived to see Patna, though their corpses must have passed the city in numbers. The rifle practice was superb, almost every ball knocking a mutineer into the water. Those who kept to the land b ilted in a south-westerly direction, and it is supposed they will skirt the river Soaue, and cross it at some distant point, and then push on for the Grand Trunk Road, and try their luck at Buxar and Ghazeepore. Tile Brigadier General, when the cannonading commenced, it is said, very prudently left the station for the steamer, and the cantonment was under no command ; every officer acted indepen dently and to the bast of his judgment, and conse quently maters were at sixes and sevens. It is fortunate for U 3 that the &Toys were such arrant cowards, for had they made a stand there was no ono to give the necessary orders, and the canton ments and the whole province of Behar would have been at the mercy of the mutineers. It is not improbable the mutineers may revisit ul as the Bukreed is not far off ; the -question now asked is, who is to command our defensive opera tions. Fears are now entertained for the residents of Mozafferpore and Chupra, as also of Bhaugulpore, where the sth Irregulars are shaky. We must have more Europeans at Patna—SO men and two guns are now here. 26th July.—Troops mutinied yesterday, the 25 th, Foremost amongst them are Major Banks, Colonel Goldie, and Captain Beatson, all of whom deserve separate notices. We have already referred to the loss of Generals Reid and Barnard. Since the above was written, we have received via Bombay the Mofassiiite of the 15th, now pub lished within the fort at Agra. It gives an account of an engagement with a body of rebels from Nus seerabed and Neemucb, which resulted in the Europeans retiring back in the fort. The follow ing is a correct abstract of the casualties which oc casion : "The Artillery had 2 of wounded (Captain D'Oyley office deal, and Lieutenant Lamb), 3 men killed, and 14 wounded, including 6 native drivers.

The 7th and Bth have carried their colours with them, beating the big drum as they went. We arrived here about a couple of hours ago —very opportunely, fur all the native regiments mutinied. yesterday and fled. It seems it was in contemplation to parade and disarm them last even ine-, and as a preparatory measure it was proposed to take away a'l their gun-Caps. The ammunition cuts were sent down to their lines, and the 40th gave up their caps, the, others resisted. Upon this the Europeans (10th and 37th) and artillery turned out, but they had scarcely time, to approach the mutineers, who were drawn . up in line, when the latter fled en snasse. A lot of them made for the river, and got into boats, but the Lady Thackwell, which is lying here, steamed up, and sunk five ; many of them then jumped into the water, and floating down the stream, got across the river. The main body, however, are in the country, about four miles from this, and are said to meditate a de scent on Patna and Gya. The Lady Thackwell is lying here, with artillery men and guns on board. The Horungotta is lying down at Patna. The greater portion of the mutineers have made off with their arms and tee rounds of ammunition each, but only enough caps to discharge these. We do not know whether this vessel, or the de tachment she carries will be detained here or no , . The commanding officer has gone ashore to report his arrival. The Lady Thackwell is just off on her upward trip with artillery. We have since heard that they threw away the greater part of their arms, which have been picked up. At half-past six the Lady Thackwell arrived, and immediately landed Major Eyre and his men, with four guns. The James Hume, with her Majesty's sth Fusi liers, got to the Dinapore Gha.ut at half-past ten on the 26th, so that there would be more men at the station to defend it. The consequences of letting the mutineers go away armed, will be seen by the following extaacts of letters from Dinapore, dated 27th July I have just escaped with my family from Arrah. We were obliged to be off just as we were, not having time to take a change of clothing. I do net know the exact particulars, but I believe they tried to disarm the sepOys, but went about it so clumsily that they all escaped. The blackguards fired everything on both sides of the Soane. Burn and Co.'s bungalow at• Sudassapore was looted, their bungalow at Deornree Nulls is burnt down ' and their house at' Arrah used as barracks, by the rebels.' The Soane works and bungalows were, bluing before I left Arrah. Mr. Boyle or the ma . - gistrate sent a message that I ought not to lese moment in looking for a safe place. The Arrah people proposed to defend themselves in Mr. Boyle's fortitimtiou. If they have done so I hope for the best but dread the worst ; what could a handful of European; do with hundreds of lawless soldiers and savage convicts from the Arrah jail ? 20th July.—l wrote you on Monday last, stat ing my escape from Arrah. Since then others have -come in from there ; they had difficulty in escaping. The plunder did not commence till 10 a.m.. aid I believe the villagers began the work. We have no news as yet as to whether the Europeans cooped up in Mr. Boyle's fortification_ are in existence or no'. It is reported that Coouaer Sing had jeined the sepoys, and that yesterday they eirp , re driving a mine .under the Bungalew, Ceower Sing having given them some powder. To make a bad mat er worse, the steamer. Horungotta and flat Beet off yesterday to the relief of Arrah, stuck on a bank within sight of Dinapore, and nothing could be done till the Bombay was stopped last night oa the down trip, with 150 additional troops, sent up this morning, when, I believe, the Bombay took tie Horungotte's flat iu tow, and I hope the doomed baud in Arrah may be relieved some time during toe night or to-morrow morning, that is, if by some extraordinary circumstance they may be s ill in existence. Pl - inters came in last night ; the entire country froru the Slane to Buxar is in the 'hands of lawless binds of plundering blackguards, and until an European force, sufficient to overawe tlie district, is placed in Arrah, it is impossible with safety to eater it ; bcith steamer arid flat are full of refugees. Snme people wc-nt in boats yesterday to see the extant of the conflagration ; the ruin is most complete. A heap of coal on the west side of the Soane, about 160,000 maunds, on fire in several places. The Bombay steamer left this yesterday morn ing wi h only 150 of the 100, as she could not take more on board, under the command of Capt. Dun bar, and n et Col. Fenwick, as was first intended. There is a great panic at Moozufferpoore, Tirhoot (and not without came). The Europeans have got together to make the Lest possible defence, should any rise take place, since Dinapore is not in a po- GEN. HAVELOCK'S OPERATIONS. The following is an extract of a letter from an officer with General Havelock's force :-- " Camp, Ist Atigust.—We marched from the river on the 29th, and fought three actions with the enemy on the road , who were strongly posted a w m it o h ng hetahvey gardensgu and enclosu res .

The garrison at Luckuow are all safe, and can hold for some time longer. We have lost nearly 100 killed and wounded ; on the three actions I had one killed and seven wounded. Thank God, all of us officers escaped, although we had to stand the brunt of the enemy's fire, which was heavy, and from heavy gulls, 24, 18, and 12-pounders. These 20 total guns taken, and most 9f them all ours—it was quite amusing to see the villains come out so cocky with our horse field batteries. No time for more." SATURDAY, AUGUST I.—From General Neill to the Governor-General, dated Cawapore, 29th July, 1857 : " Havelock's forced march at 5 a.m. to-day found strong post of enemy, captured three brass guns, lost one officer killed, three wounded ; slaughtered many of the enemy. In about an hour after enemy in force with many cavalry advanced to meet them, were soon routed, with the loss of all their guns, twelve in number ; tot 11 , fifteen brass gins taken. The enemy numbered at least thirteen thousand. The force rested a little, when it pushed on to Rif.- auagunge Ilea - which the enemy is said to b 3 in force. All is well here. The Nana is about twenty m des off, ou the Oude side. If he passes near Bitoor, as he threatens, we shall give a good ac count of him here." sition to send them help. The above 150 with 250 gone up by the. Horungotta, must be at Ar rah before this, 2 p.m., but as yet we have no news from them. There is a report that Coomer Sing has joined the mutineers. I have just learned that the ladies from Moozufforpore, Tirhoot, have just . . . , come in. Neither the Allen nor Benares steamers from Calcutta has yet arrived. Tne authorities of Patna are still arresting con spirators, mutineers, and rebels, and they will have enough to do in trying them. Cawnpore news of the 19th had reached Dinapole on the 22d that Bittour had been looted. We have received the following per steamer James Hume, dated 29th July : _ _ _ The Commissioner on the 22d inst. tried four Irregular Cavalry troopers for aiding the escape of Moulvee Ally Kurreeni ; one was hanged on the following morning, one imprisoned with hard la bour for ten years, and two for seven years. A mutineer of the 37th N. I. was sentenced on the 23d to the gallows. The trial of Synd Lootf-Ally Khan, the Patna banker, commenced on the 23d, and would it was supposed, be completed on the next day. It is doubtful in what manner the case will terminate. We left Dinapora the day before yesterday at 12 o'clock with- the Judge, Collector, and Assistant Magistrate, and Civil SurgeonofChupra, on board, as also a party of 15 Seiklis under Captain Ingleby ; the latter intended for the protection of the above mentioned civil station. A few miles below Doree- gunge, we met Messrs. Garstin and Macdonald in a boat, on their way down to Dinapore. They had left Ohupra an hour previously, having received in telligence that the Dinapore mutineers were about to pay them a visit. Being the only two Euro peans left there, they did not think it advisable to remain. A consultation was now held to decide upon a return to Chupra, for the purpose of saving the treasure left there, amounting to about 50,000 Rupees. A party of 30 men and 2 officers of the sth Fusiliers on board were permitted by the offi cer in command to accompany the officials for this purpose;hpon condition that they were to return early next morning, so as not to delay the progress of 'the' steamer to Buxar. On anchoring at Doreegunge, this little force started in native boats with a fair wind. The expe dition entailed some danger, as it was consid , red probable that the Nujeeb and a few Irre gulars at Chupra, might be found to have looted the place and released the 500 prisoners. The party arrived safely at 12.30 in the night, everything being in statu quo ; they were hospi tably entertained by the collector. The treasure was packed in a few hours, and the whole party were back to the steamer at eight o'clock in the morning. They marched on their return, finding the progress down the nullah in boats very slow ; the 15 Seikhs in advance, the treasure on coolies in the middle, and the men of the sth under com mand of Captain Scott, in the rear. The Euro peans were all in high spirits at the success of their midnigh , , excursion, and only sorry that there had been no occasion to display the capacity of their Enfields. We are now approaching Buxar, and hope to be there before the insurgents, who may perhaps have abandoned their intention of visiting Chupra, on hearing that the treasure had been removed. The officers and men of the sth only hope they will have a chance of encountering some of the sepoys, when they will no doubt be able to give a good account of them. Jnly 30.—We reached Buxar last evening, and found everything quiet. During the night the Lady Thackwell arrived with the artillery ; they had gone as far as Ghazeepore, but were seat back by the authorities there, with 25 of the High landers, with instructions to laud at Buxar, and endeavour to check the progress of the mutineers in this direction. Major V. Eyre in command of the artillery at once aske 1 the co-operation of the detachment on board, this vessel, and an expedition to Arrah has bean organised, consisting of 150 of the sth Fusiliers and 3 guns. They leave Buxar this evening. The rebels are reported to be within 20 miles of Buxar. The Rajah of the litter place has jone to join them wi.h a lot of gunpowder and other ammunition, leaving word with the villagers to look out and have provisions ready against the arrival of the mutineers. God knows what the fate of the unfortunate people at Arrah has been. I fear this expedi ion from Buxar will be too late to save them. This steamer (without the flat) is now on her way to Dinapore with despatches to the authorities there, announcing the measures that have been taken, and requesting the co-ope ration of a force from there to bear on the insur gents. . Here we are going down at the rate of 20 miles an hour, and we hope to reach Divapore by two o'aick. Should we see ally of the rebels on the bank, they will got a taste of our guns, rifleß . &c. Yesterday we passed the 25th'N./. - in boats couple of miles below Buxar. A proposal was made by the officer in command of the detachment of sth Fusiliers to disarm those sepoys, but this measure was objected to by the officer commanding them, so it was not carried out. Thetesailed up past Buxar last evening, and may reach Gliazee pore to-night or to-morrow. Should these two re gimeuts hatch a mutiny between them, and ma nage to effect a junction with the Dinapore lot, they will master more th in 3,000 disciplined troops, exclusive of Koowar Seid's followers ; he is said to have collected about 5,000 in Arrab, but these can ouly be rabble, I fancy. It is to be hoped they will not be able to cut off our communication between Allahabad and Calcutta. DINAPORE, 6 P.m., 30th.—We have just arrived, and have learnt very sad news. It seems a force left this by steamer the day before yesterday, con sisting of about 350 men of the 10th and 37th, and 50 Sikhs, bound for Arrah. They were landed abreast of the place, marched up to it and attacked the enemy. The result is most mournful to record; they were of course immediately outnumbered, and after hard fighting, had to retreat, having suffered a fearful loss of about 200 killed and wounded, among whom were eight officers. The ree nant made good their retreat to the steamer, and re turned here about 12 o'clock to-day, bringing with them a great number of the wounded. The General sent 100 men and two guns away from here to-day, so that only about 250 men and four guns now remain for the protection of this place. Everybody is cursing his incapacity, whose mismanagement has brought about these disasters. Toe Bombay left an hour on her way down to meet the Charles Allen, and hasten the arrival of the reinforcement she carries. I will now close this, and hope it may reach Calcutta safely. It is not at all improbable, now, that an attack will be made by the insurgents upon th:s 1 ice, indeed it is reported that they are on their way down. July 31—I have to day received from one of the officers who accompanied the force to Arrah, an ac count of the march to and retreat from that place. " One hundred and ninety men of th" 37th Queen's,were despatched from Dinapore at 5 o'cloc'c on the evening of the 27thinst., in the Horungotaa steamer and troop boat, destined for the relief of Arrah. It being moonlight, they steamed on untl 1Q o'clock, when the moon went down, and shortly , afterwards the vessel got aground. In th s posi tion they remained for about 36 hour., when the Bombay was sent up from Dinapore, on the m :ril ing of the 29th, with 150 men of the 10th, and about 70 Sikhs—the latter :under Capt. Ing'eby. The Bombay towed off the troop boat, but coald not stir the Horungotta ; leav n; her there she s earn ad up the river with the whole force, now numbering more than 400 men, and landed teem ab Alt 4 o'clock in the evening about 12 miles from Art ah. From this point they began their march upon Arrah. Qu the way they were informed that the place had Leon evacuated by the mutineers, and retying on this, Capc. Dunbar of the 10th, who commanded, per sisted in pushing on. It was 11 p.m. and quite dark when they reached. They were at once tire 1 into from both sides of the road, volley after volley was poured into them by the unseen enemy, and decimated their ranks. Wuat with darkness and the confusion arising from an unexpected attack, they now got separated, and were afraid to fire, not knowing whether they would be killing frends or foes. Thus they remained all night, being re peatedly fired into by the enemy, who were acquainted with their whereabouts. As morning dawned they found themselves 'terribly reduced in numbers, and knowing they were mach too weak to assume the offensive, began a retre tt. Altilough this movement was conduct. d with all the skill that circumstances permitted, and under cover of skir mishers, they lost a great many men, being pursued incessantly by toe enemy, wLo fired into them from behind trees and other hiding-places. It being im possible to carry away all those who were too se verely wounded to walk, they were obliged to leave them to their fate. It is this circumstanee which has made the total loss so heavy, amounting, as it does, to fully one half of our f rce. "The remnant made good their retreat to the steatner(ncl tiding all those whose wounds permitted them to be helped along), and retutnel to Dinapore at 12 o'clock yesterday. Thus ended this melan choly busing ss. The march upon Arrah at night was injudicious, as our soldiers never even had a chance of seeing the enemy until the following morning. The locality also was unknown to them. They had no means of care ying off their wounded, and I am told the mon of the 10th had had nothing whatever to eat the whole day of the 29th. " I have heard only a few names of the officers who were killed, viz., Capt. Ingleby, Ensign An derson, Capt. Dunbar, and the three officers of the 37th, whose names I don t know." A letter from au officer engaged in the Arrah ex DELHI. The Ceylon Observer of the 15th of August Iris come to hand, but it contains- no reference what ever to the report mentioned in yesterday's tele gram from Trieste, that the British furcas had raised the siege of Delhi and retired to Agra. Accounts t.) the 18th of August represent that the city is still in possession of the rebels, and that b%ttles are fought between them anti our forces nearly every day. A correspondent at Oo'acamund, whose informa tion is of the most reliable description, informs us (Barker) that the King of D .11ii (as that nearly obsolets monster is still named) has been hanged ! We h:.pe, for the satisfalition of those who nity have an express desire to wituals .such an event, that the execution has been delayed a little longer. THE CAWNPORE MASSACRE. (Front the Bengal Ilurkara of Aug. 5 ) It appears from letters received in Calcutta, that the victims of the CA wnpore massacre were contiued in the A'S3mbly-roomy up to the 15th, where they were conipriratively well treated. They wer.) then - Wien to the little house where ihe unfortunate Men who were taken fcoui the boats had been previously murlered, and where they could have had n >douln of their itnpending fate. A note was found, vvritt.Ai iu Hinde?, containing the names of all th e ladies who died between the 7th and 15th inst., from what are described as natural C_Ctliei. The list appears to have been kept by. a native doctor, and, deduct the names which it contains, it appelrs that 197 persons were massacred on the evenin; of the 15th. The names were not easy to make out, but they are something like the folio wing :- 7th. 3 perions died (names not given). „ Mr:. Keelan, eiolera. „ Mrs. Boyce, dytientery• Bth.

PATNA, AND SEGOOLEE. The following are extracts from letters in the Englishman : Since the 25th July, we are happy .to say that General Lloyd has partially recovered his senses, and sent aid on the evening of 27th (just two days too late) to the beleagnred. in Arrah, and again some troops on the morning of the 29th, or three and a half days after they should have gone. It will be most providential should the Arrah folks have held out long enough for the arrival of the first detach ment. It is said that as the mutineers could not get at the beleagured gentry, they were striving to turn them out of their stronghold. The mutineers, shouli they be successful in their operations, ought ingratitude to send their thanks to the General, and present him at the same time with a suit of ladies' dress. The general sent troops on the evening of the 27th, who could scarcely have reached Arrah last night, and I hear this morning a further detach- ment were marched for that station, but these suc courshave gone too late. The mutineers should have been followed on the evening of the 25th with guns and men, who might have got up to the rebels before they could• have reached Arrah, and thus have save the Treasury and place from being pil laged, and probably the slaughter of our friends there. You have heard of the mutiny of the 12th Irre gular Cavalry at Segowlee on the night of the 23d, and the massacre of their officers and of their wives and children. The rascals proceeded to Sewan, a sub-division of Chupra, whence Mr. A/193011ne1 , , the sub-deputy opium agent, and Mr. Lynch, the deputy magistrate, have miraculously escaped. They left the place at 8 o'clock on the 26th, and reached Dinapore at 9 last night. I suppose the Chupra foli&must come in now, unless their little band of 50 Sikhs, 50 sepoys of the 40th N.I. who did not join the mutineers, and about a dozen sth Irregular Cavalry men, will fight well. We learn by a letter from Patna, dated July 31, that the detachments which left Dinapore on the evenings of the 27th and 28th, in steamers, re treated to the latter station on the afternoon of the 30th. It seems that the officers commanding im prudently marched them during the darkness of the night through an unknown country, and on reach ing within a mile of Arrah, they were fired upon by a large body of mutineers, who were hidden in a mangoe tope. Five officers are said to be killed, some wounded, and about half of the force, consist ing of 350 Europeans and 60 Sikh., were killed and wounded. An officer, with 16 men of H. M.'s 37th, however, escaped, and came into Dinapore on the night of the 30th. They met no rebels on the road, and reported the villagers were civil. Baboo Koowur Sing is acting the R,ajah in Arrah; he holds his court, and has appointed a -relative of his, by name Hurkissen Sing, his Wuzeer ; Golan Ahya, a vakeel of the Civil Court, superintendent of police ; .another vakeel named Amerooden to a da rogaship, and several other villains who • have thrived under the British rule to offices of trust. Not one of the servants of our government has ob tained employment under the new regime. We .are universally of opinion that if Patna be not protected as an outpost with two guns and 100 Europeans, we must shortly lose the place, and Di napore too must fall, as it will be cutoff rom sup plies, and be surrounded by the enemy. A force here would protect it from serious danger ; we had for a day 80 soldiers and 4 guns, which the general has recalled to Dinapore. I cannot say Patna is yet safe ; those of the muti neers whose, houses are southward are still in the district, and may possibly come into Patna with lot of budmashes. Our force is rather insighificant —3OO Sikhs only who can be depended upon, but they are scattered. As for the Behar Station Guards they would join the rabble if they could, and will do so when opportunity offers. The Patna rising was a deep laid scheme. There was a throne prepared to receive a King of Patna, and this King (will presumption and folly go fur ther?) was a certain individual, by name Kazis). Shere. This man intended to appear as an eques" trian on the night of the 3d of July, but be fore our forces, who were ready receive him, - he had not the courage to appear. At present he is nowhere to be seen. He has left both hie guddi and his throne, though it is perfectly certain that he will come to that elevated throne the gallows. The districts are all quiet (and I say now, as I have often said, that as long as Patna is safe, so long will Behar be safe), although petty Daooities are always taking place, yet no serious danger is particularly apprehended. Mr. Louis is removed from Patna. I do not think it advisable to make any remarks or comments upon this subject. • ' - In consequence of the late distnrbance at Patna numbers have been apprehended, many of whom stand high in the opinion of the people of that sta tion both for respectability and opulence ; of these Lootf Ally Khan is not the least. It is already known that ho has been arrested for harbouriug a Sepoy of the 37th NJ., named Shaikh Mohobbuto who was concealed with his uncle, Shaikh Sulce- Moolah in Monza Jamvepoore, belonging to Loot f Ally Khan ; he has been seized, and is in confine' went. Of his two servants, Burrah Ghusseeta and Ceota Ghusseeta, the former was seized and exe; ed for heading a portion of the rebels on the 3d inst., the latter is in prison, and will very likely share the fate of his notorious namesake. Tha i Lootf Ally is the mainspring of the Patna insurreo-_ tion, having given R'. 27,000 through M.oulvies Muksood Ally and Azizooddeen to the native troops of Dinapore, to induce them to join the scoundrels of Patna, and 5,000 mohurs of old coinage, by two instalments, to Moulvie Ahmedoollah, and 111 smaller amount to Peer Ally Khan for assisting the mu ineers, whose plan it was to frighten 0 1 the authorities and other European residents 0 Patna by rising in a large body, but if this failed) to join the Sepoys of Dinapore, let loose the OW victs and divide themselves into two divisions, one to plunder the town of Patna, the other to rescu e the Moulvies in custody, and ma nacre every Fe ringhee (Christian, white and black) residing there', Mr. —, the judge, being marked out as the fir s " victim of their brutality. All this would have com e to pass had not Looft Ally Khan been placed il l confinement, and it will even now if he be set to work among his native friends for eff‘cting his r e ; lease. In my humble opinion it would be mp g advisable to detain him in custody until the rebel" lion in India be over. The following is an extract of a letter from Mee r ' pore Factory, dated July 25 When about to write to you yesterday Wi lli my reports, we were obliged to fly for safety. 1 1 Irregulais at Segowlie mutinied on the evening the 25th inst., killed all their officers' wives as children, except one little girl of Dr. Ge,rner't This news came to Raikes about 9 a.m. y es terdsY morning, nod tee s 3iittilrels were expected inini e : diately, but we all left the station and came °' here immediately we could get our conveyanc es ' and sh mild. have gone on to Kunabuna in NeP Bl ,,,' about len coss from this but we have inforwati7 that the scoundrels, after doing all the misch ie ,! and destroying all they odd, went off in the (,'„`: rection of Govingunge, though after we left th e station some troepers came there and we are IV; sure where they went to.
