veL?ii they left. Ti3ers were many non.combatants, su .n as mu - charts, clerks, and others, who had Wlfl their families taken shelter in the ietreechment. The paymaster's treasury, containing npwards of a lac of rupees, was in it ; also a small portion of his office recor.ls. Mrs. R. A. Greenaway, a very old and re. spectable lady, formerly the proprietress of the Caren, pore Press, had before the commencement of the rebel lion taken refuge with her son, Mr. Edward Greenway and his family in her zewindaree at Nuguffghur, about 14 miles east of Cawnpore ; but they were brought here by some people, who, it is said, were the Zemindars of Nuguffghur, and pre , ented to the Nana. Other re. ports say that they were seized by the troopers of the 2d Cavalry. The aged lady offered to pay a large sum of money on condition of her being allowed to proceed with her relations to Allahrbad unmolested. A part of the money being immediately paid, they were put in confinement, where they remained until the 15!h of July, on which date they were killed with other ladies and children. Several boats containing European gentle men and their families—upwards of 100 souls were corn ing to the westward towards Cawnpore, and on their arrival at some place above Bithoor they were discovered by some Zemindar of the Oude territory, who seized them and sent them to the cruel Nana, by whose orders every one of them was murdered by the wretched and inhuman troopers and Sepoys. The native inhabitants of the city, especially the Bengalee Baboos, were tub jected to innumerable distresses and oppressions ; the rebels entered their houses under various pretexts, and plundered their property ; they were obliged fur the safety of their lives, to shut themselves up in secured house. On several occasions they shut themselves in the houses of their servants, &c. At last an order was given by the Nana, on the 16th July, to apprehend all the Bengalese on the evening of that day or the next morning and kill them ; but the arrival of the British troops on the abovensentioned day frustrated his designs. The Baboos were suspected of writing letters to the English gentlemen, and giving them information, several spies having been apprehended with letters in their possession. The spies were all beheaded on the 14th of July. The British officers and soldiers, with their families, a few of the native soldiery and domestic servants, as also some of the merchants, &c., remained in the entrench- meuts for 22 days, having endured every discomfort from want of fresh provisions and water, and from the inclemency of the weather, as also from the dilapidated state of the barracks in which they had taken shelter. At last, want of every kind of provisions obliged them, on the 26th of June, to propose terms of peace. The Nana and his principal officers solemnly promised on oath to have them conveyed safely to Allahabad. Boats were prepared for them ; elephants, hackeries, &c., were brought to the entrenchment for conveying them to the boats, and on the morning of the 27th of June the in mates of the entrenchment came out, and proceeded to the ghaut where the boats had been kept in readiness, escorted by a number of Sowers and Sopoys, some of whom, on reaching the bank of the river, called out to the boatmen that they should leave with their boats, and come up to receive their pay. When they found that all the boatmen had done as they desired they com menced firing volleys from the high banks on the officers ece-, some of whom were embarked on the boats, while others were standing by them. A regiment of Oude Irregulars had just arrived on the opposit e s id e of the river, and the men belonging to that corps also fired at the officers. After several volleys had been fired the savage mutineers put the greation portion of the officers and men to death with their swords, a number of them having escaped in one or two boats ; but they were sub sequently caught ate some place below Jaujinon and brought to Cawnpore after two or three days, when they were all killed. Among them was Captain Seppings, the officiating Deputy-Paymaster. The ladies and children were brought on country starts into the premises of the medical department, where they remained in close custody for nearly three weeks, hardly receiving any refreshments. The diet or food allowed them was only two or three chupatees (bread) and a little dhal to each. They had their old clothing to wear, sleeping on the bare ground. After a few days their condition was somewhat changed by the Nana's order—cleaned or washed gowns, &e., to be pro vided, and meat sllpplied to them daily ; a few servants, khitmutgar, &c., were also employed to attend them. In this state they remained up to the 15th July, on which date th.y were all killed by the Nana's men according to his orders. Such were the cries and agonies of the poor ladies that my informant shed tears when mentioning the circumstance to me, saying that such atrocious acts could tot emanate even from ferocious animals or wild beasts. These foul and inhuman deeds did not end here, because on the next morning, when they came to thebloody spot where they had committed the cold-blooded murders, for the purpose of having the dead bodies removed, they found a few wounded ladies and a child were call alive, whom they threw into a well with the dead. Two causes are assigned for murdering the ladies—first, the defeat of the insurgents in an engagement which tooe place near Puttelipore, and secondly, the detection of some letters Which had been sent by the ladies to Allahabad by some of the spies who were apprehended and killed on the 14th July. A few days before this about 17 European gentle men who were on their way from Furrackabad, conceal ing themselves in some country boats laden with gram, were arrested at Bundeemattaghat, 14 of whom were killed immediately on their being brought to Cawnpore, $ having been retained, it was said, on promise of their Using their influence with the British Government to have the forts of Agra and Allahabad evacuated, but the story is not worthy of - belief, and must have been fabri cated by the Nana with a view to induce the people to believe that he was to obtain possession of those places in a short time. Numerous false proclamations were issued by beat of tom-tom, announcing the defeat .of Ebglish troops at Delhi, Bombay, &c., and such other falsehoods. On the evening of the 16th of July a proclamation was published in the city that the Nana had gained h com plete victory, many of the British troops having been killed and others having dispersed ; but the falsity of this story soon became known to the people, as in less than an hour vast multitudes of the mutineers were seen running away from the field of battle, many bearing their arms and accoutrements. When the mutiny broke out the following staff officers were present at the station, all of whom are said to have been killed : Major-General Sir H. M. Wheeler, K.C.8., command ing the division. Brigadier A. Jack, C. 8., commanding the station. Major Lindsay,' assistant adjutant-general. Capt. Reynolds, officiating . major of brigade. Major Wiggins, deputy judge-advocate-general. Capt. Seppinga, Officiating deputy -paymaster. Lieut. Jervis, executive engineer. Dr. Garbett, officiating superintending surgeon. Dr. Boys, officiating-medical storekeeper. Capt. Whiting, Canal Department. Lieut. Angelo, Canal Department. Major Sir J. Parker, Cantonment Joint Magistrate. Captain Williamson, deputy assistant-commissary genet al. The under•mentioned merchants, &0., were also in General Wheeler's entrenchment : Mr. Thomas Greenway, with family. J. D. Hay, with family. W. Gee, with family. 11. Christer, with family. G. Reid, with family. S. Greenway, with family. Mrs. J. Kirk, with her son and his family. Mr. J. W. Schorn. J. 11. Sherman. Mr. O'Brien, head clerk of the collector's office. Mr. J. W. Shepherd, head assistant commissary office, and others. The last-mentioned person—viz., Mr. Shepherd, ma naged to escape to the disguise of a cook, having left the entrenchment on or about the 22d of July. The following civilians were likewise in the entrench ment : Mr. 1 111101.13(1°n, collector and magistrate. Mr. Mackintosh, deputy magistrate. Mr. Stacy, deputy magistrate. Mr. P. Marnull, sub-deuty opium agent. Mr. R. B. Cook, assistant opium agent.—/bid, Angiist 27. CHRONICLE OF INDIAN EVENTS. (Front the Englishman ) MONDAY, AUG. 24. Capt. Peel's naval brigade could not get above Bar rackpore, the engines of the Chunar being out of order. The River Bird was sent after them, and will tow them t Jungypore, where she will be relieved by one of the steamers from the Upper stations. On Friday evening last Sirdar Shere Singh approved of several Sikh volunteers front the 25th Native Infan- try ; these with some others are to be sent by the first steamer to Allababad. The Infantry Volunteer Guards assembled last Satur day morning at half-past fire in full dress parade, for the purpose of being reviewed by Sir Colin Campbell ; but from some cause his excellency did not appear, and after the volunteers had been kept on the ground till half-past 7 they were allowed to disperse. A. large concourse of ladies and gentlemen assembled to witness the review, and those in their carriages and some on foot lined both sides of the road leading from Park street to the fort. The Volunteers presented a very martial appearance, and went through their exercises with credit to them selves and their instructors. The Bangalore herald states that the " Government of India has just sent instructions to the Commissioner of Mysore to forward 2,000 of the Sillidar, or Mysore Horse, for service in the British Presidency. It i s ex pected that the above Horse will march under th e com mand of Col. A. M ac l e od in a few days, as soon as th e necessary camp equipage is provided. The Mysor e H orse did goo d service Mahratt a war, and has been highly spoken during the late of. The men seem to be i n hi g h sp i r i ts at t h e prospect of field service. Wa wish them every success, and feel confident that they will maintain their Limier prestige. TUESDAY, AUG, 25. We are requested to mention that the road as far as Benares is quite clsar for passengers, and that dawk carriages are already running. A letter from CaWnpore mentions that travellers from LuAnow report that all the European ladies and others are safe in the entrenchments, but that fighting goes on dai y, and many of the mutineers are A letter front Divapore, of the 19th, report that Gen.

The 'liming, which was a very full one, was characterised by great hearti ness and unanimity of purpose. Mr. LongueviLe Clarke was in the chair, and the principal speakers were Mr. Peterson and Mr. Doyne. The leading feature of the meeting was the formation of an Indian Reform League, with the view of enlightening the people and Parlia ment of England on the real condition of India and her government. FRIDAY, A UG. 28. There was a report in town yesterday that the River Bird, with Captain Peel's Naval Brigade on board, had broken down at Berhampore. It is not so; but it is con sidered unsafe for ker ,• go beyond that station at her present draught of water. The Mirzapore is expected down to take the Naval Brigade in tow. SATURDAY, AUGUST 29.

At leas five-sixths of the volunteers are Eurasians —East Indians—half c istes—take which name you wilt ; colour, varying from th a t which is seen in the fairest specimens of the nativee, to the com plexion of an inhabitant of Southern Europe. These , • persons form a mixed race , b e i ng descfied.auts of native mothers and European fathers ; and tee military display they ineke upon parade is highly creditable, considering the shortness of the time they have been under drill. In some respects they are the most unf or t una t e c l ass o f people in the world, being despised generally by Europeans and natives, and being stigniat'sed, though most falsely, as po•sassiug the worst qualities of both. They have ever been used badly, indeed infa mously, by the Government. They are deberred fi mu enlisting in the European regiments, and they have been discoura ge d i n a l most ever y b r anch of employment to whi c h t h ey h ive a dd res sed them selves. In thi s c li ma t e it i s i mposs ibl e f or them open them to become labourer s . Tile principal occupation to them is that o f c l er k s or henchmen in native in fantry regiments ; but as th e d eman d f o r clerks as well as bands men i s li m i te d , the pay o f th e l a tt er too being wretchedly small—that is to say, 14s. a month—large numbers of unfortunate Eist Indians are condemned to live iu the extreme of misery. It is now a groat desiderai um to decrease the na tive element i n our arm i es to the sma ll es t possible amount. It is also generally believed essential to mix the different races and castes iu such a man ner as shall effectually prevent any such combina tion as exists at pres e nt i n th e arm y of Bengal. Admitting this, it is difficult to imagine a case in which a government had a better opportunity of combining justice with the public advantage. Eng lish soldiers are difficult to grt, and expensive to keep. Make use, then, of the invaluable material which is at hand in the shape of East Indians in ured to the climat e , b orn i u the coun t ry , spea ki ng its language as a mother tongue, but divided by a gulf of jealousy and mutual contempt from the rest of the natives. What I should like to see would be a company of East Indians in every native regiment of the Madras army ; and while upon this subject, I will lay before you a table which appeared in the Madras A thenceum the other day. It brings into striking relief the proportions which the different castes bear to each other in the three armies of Ben. gal, Madras, and Bombay. Infantry. Bengal. Madras. Bombay, Christians Mahomedaus Brahmins 2G,933 1 Rajpoots Hindoos of an infe- rior description... 15,7G1 Sikhs Telingas (Gentoo) Tamil Other castes Indo-Britons 16,590 4,792 1,805 „,... 1,075 452 Alahrattas.. , Grand Total... 83,916 44,191 25,938 On an attentive consideration of the above table the superior distribution of castes in the Madras army becomes evident to any one acquainted with the subject. In the first place, there are 1,650 na tive Christian fSepoys t in the Madras army, those marked as Christians in the Bengalarmy being Indo- Briton bandsmen and not Sepoys. Madras, in addi tion, has her complement of Indo-Britou bands men. These, however, are minor points. It is true that we have more Mussulmans than they have, or had, in Bengal ; but look at the other castes. Com pare our Telingas and Tamils, drawn from the moat peaceful and industrious races of men iu the world, with the turbulent Rajpeots and intriguing , Brahmins of B enga l ; an d rememb er that while all castes in the B enga l a rmy speak Hiudostani as their c , ,mmon moth e r tongue, the M ussu l mans, the Telingas, and th e Tamuls, iu the M a d ras army, have each a perfectly distinct language of their own ; the two latter castes seld om attaining to more than a most imuerfe3f acquaintance with the Hindostani or " Camp language." The conclusions to be drawn from this are obvious, an d w ill tend much to pacify the minds of those who h ave b egun to doubt the loy a lty of the army of Mad ras. Never tinheolregss,,,utihiaitsioainn. Sisonitreegciainnpeabtlse of improvement have a large pre ponderance of Mussulmans, others scarcely any. In the cavalry it must be confessed that the pro portion of Mahomedans is altogether outrageous. Out of a total of 3,290 t ro ope r s, 2, 569 are followers of the Prophet. The c. , nsequenco is, and indeed always has been, that the Madras Cavalry inspires less confidence than the Madras Infantry, and the conduct of the Bth Cavalry the other day was a direct consequence of a faulty orglnisation. Now, suppose wo had our regiments organised as follows : Company No 1. Indo-B1 Hons. 2. Mlhomodans. 3. Telingas. 4. Tamuls. 5. Native Christians. 6. Mahomedans. 7. Tethlgas. 8. Tamuts. 9. Nativo Christians. 10. Indo•Britons,NativeChristians, cr Tatnuls. Such a distribution, or one similar to it, is far from impossible —nay, it is perfectly feasible, and would be an effectual olfogutbra a..ainut mutiny. Add to this that it is approved of by many experienced officers. Perhaps our principal domestic event of the present f,rtnight is the return of Sir Patrick Grant to Madras. His sojourn in Bengal has neither raised nor lowered his reputation. It is difficult to imagine how anyone, flowerer highly endowed, could have altered the cours e of events during the peri )d he h -1.1. office. He leas been blamed because he entrusted responsibil i t y to fools who were inca pable of using ; but wo h ave yet to learn that h e did so knowingly. These ar e d ays w h en everyone in command is crying out fo r summar y p o wers and large discretion. It must, however, be admitted that while Sir P. G rant held the chief comman d in India, the gl or i ous exploits of Neil and Have lock were achiev e d, an d that unlimited powers an d every availaLe support wasgiven them. This much we will venture to say, th at the appo i ntmen t o f Mr. T. P. Grant, and the supersedingi the gallant Havelock by that p r i nce of v ac illation and fussi ness—Outran - I, was no act of Sir Patrick's, whose return to Madras is hailed by satisfaction. e very one with TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF ONE THOUSAND LIVES. We have been favoured (says the Sindian of August 16) with the followinti translation of a Per siandetter received from Joudpore, ane nt the ex plosion of the magazine a t th at place : cr " On the night of the 10th August., between the hours of 12 and 2, heavy rain fell, accomp anied " with loud peals of thund er an d vivid flashes of lightning, imparting ' to ev ery thi ng aro und a ghastly spectacle terrifying to beh o ld. A few minutes after the scene was repeated with tenfold violence, and the people were greatly intimidated. In the fort belanging to the rajah, which is situated on a hill constructed of stones of vario u s dimensions and sizes, and containing magazine of the rajah - had been kept. This was a passage subterraneous , the struck with lightning, and some thou sands of niaunds of powder were exploded. The shock was so great that the walls of the fort and a tem p le and four ponderous gates were blown up iu the air into a thousand pieces, destraying 590 houses and all the people living therein. Up to tte time of writing, th e remnants of the inhabitants wer e en g a g ed in removing the dead bodies found under these ruins. It was gleaned from the Kitwal of the place, that upwards of (1,000) one thousand had already been taken out, and that others were also being removed. The domestic servants of the Rajah, as well as some Sepoys who were kept to guard the place, were all kiled. Such a dreadful occurrence was never known in Joudpore before. The ma jority of the people were destroyed and otherwise injured. A stone weighing one naaund was picked up at Soorsanuggur Talao, distant four miles from Joudpore, where the political agent re , ides. Another large stone fell as far as six miles, at a place called Chowpassaney-, where falling on a house, it killed three people. the exp l os i on was so severe, that for six miles around the people and hous s sustained a shock."

INSTRUCTIONS RELATIVE TO THE TREATMENT OF MUTINEERS. The following instructions have been published by order of the Government : From C. Beadon, Esq., Secretary to the Government of India, to C. B. Thornhill, Esq , Officiating Secretary directed to forward ti e accompanying ex• t , ) the Government of the No rt h W estern Provinces. Sir,--I am tract from the proceedings of the Ri g ht H on. tha Go. liArTlnr General in Council relative to the trea , trent of nintinetrP, deserters, and other, persons conc,rord in the recent and present disturbances, and to request that the observance of the principles there laid down may be enjoined upon the local authorities.—l have, &a., (Signed) C. BEADON, Secy. to the Government of India. Fort William, July 31„ Extract front the proceedings of the R,:glit lion, the Governor-General of India in Conn& in the Home 113- partraent, under date July 31 : RESOLUTION. _ _ 1. The Governor-General of India in Council has ob served with approbation the zealous sxertions of the local civil authorities for the apprehension and condign punishment of the mutineers and deserters concerned in the present revolt. It was necessary, by the severe and prompt punishment of such of there criminals as found their way in the distric's in our poFsesion, where the minds of the nativa troops could not but be in a very unsettled state, though the men for the moat part : stained from open mutiny, to show that the just fate if the mutineer is death, and that the Iliad] Government was powerful to inflict the penalty. It was necessary, also, by the offer of rewards for the apprehension of all deserters, to check the crime of deserti: n, which wit , : becoming rife in some of V.ies?, regiments, and to prevent the possible escape of men who, apparer tly mere de serters, had been concerned in such terrible atrocities that their apprehension and condign punishment was an imperative duty. 2. But lest measures of extreme severity should be too hastily resorted to, or carried too far, his lordship in c)uncil thinks it right to issue detailed instructiocs on this subject by which all civil officers will be guided in the exercise of their powers in the case of mutineer; deserters, and rebels. 3. Thera is reason to believe that in some, even of those native regiments whose revolt had been stained by the most sanguinary atrocities, some men may have distinguished themselves from the mass by protecting an officer. In some such cases teen of very guilty regiments possess certificates in their favour from officers of their regiments ; but there may be others equally deserving of clemency who are without any such ready means of clearing themselves from the presumptive evidence of their deep guilt. 4. Where the number of men guilty of what it is impossible to pardon is so great, the Government will gladly seiza every opportunity of reducing the work of retribution before it by giving a free pardon to all who can show that they have a claim to mercy on ;this ground, provided they have not been guilty of any heinous crime against person or property, or aided or abetted others in the commission of any such crime. 5. It is understood that in regiments which mutinied, and for the most part went over to the rebtl4, without murdering their officers or committing any other san guinary, outrage, there were men who appeared to have bad no heart in the revolt, though they failed in their duty as soldiers, and who have evinced their peace able disposition and their want of sympathy a ith those who are now armed in open rebellion against the go varmint, by dispersing to their villages when the regiment broke up, and mixing quiely with the rural population. It is desirable to treat such men with all reasonable leniency. 6. The Governor-General in Council therefore deems it necessary to lay down the following rules for the guidance of civil authorities exercising the power vested in them by recent legislation for the puniattmeet of native officers and soldiers charged with mutiny or de ertiou. Sec. Ist. No native officer or soldier belonging to a regiment which Las not mutinied is to be punished by the civil power as a mere deserter, unless be be found or apprehended with arms in his possession. Such men, when taken before or apprehended by the civil power, are to be sent back to their regiments, when ever that can be done, there to be dealt with by the military authorities. When such men cannot be sent back to their regiments immediately, they should be detained iu prison pending the orders of government, to whom a report is to be made, addressed to the Secretary to Government in the Military Department. Sec. 2.1. Native officers and soldiers being mutineers or deserters, taken before or apprehended by the civil power, not found or apprehended with an to in their possession, not charged with any specific act of rebellion, and belonging to a regiment which has mutinied, but has not been guilty of the murder of its officers, or of any other sanguinary crime, are to be sent to Allahabad, or to such other place as g.)vernment may ' hereafter order, and are there to be made over to the commandant, to be dealt with by the military authori ties. Shouldany difficulty erica in sending the offender to Allahabad, eitheir by reason of its distance from the place of arrest, or otherwise, the offender should be im prisoned until the orders of government can be obtained, unless for special reasons it may be necessary to punish the offender forthwith, in which case a report will imam diatele afterwards be made to the government. Sec. 3rd. Ev'ery mutineer or deserter who may be taken before or apprehended by the civil authorities, and who may be found t r belong to a regiment which killed any European officer or other European, or com mitted any other sanguinary outrage, may be tried and punished by the civil power. It the prisoner can show that he w as no: present at the murder or other outrage, or, if present, that he did his utmost to prevent it, full particulars of the case should be reported to goveratneut in the military department, before the sentence, what ever it be, is carried into effect, otherwise the sentence shonld be carried into effect forth Sec. 4th. It it cannot be ascertained to what regiment a mutint.o: or deserter taken before or apprehended by the civil authorities belonged, he is to be dealt with ai provided above by the 2d Rule. 7. Lists showing the cereral regiments and detach• ments which have mutinied will be prepared with all ' practicable despatch in the military department, stating in each case a I known particulars of the mutiny, and ac companied by nominal rolls, with appro l rate remarks opposite to the names of those native officers and men who are known to have been absent from their regimen b at the time of the mutiny, and of those who, if present, are known to have taken an active part either in pro moting or suppressing the mutiny, or to have simply joined, or abstained from joining it. These nominal rolls as soon as prepared, will be printed and circul sted t') all civil officers, and to military officers in command. 8. The Governor-General in Cuuncil is anxious to pre• vent measures of extremeseverity being unnecesserily re sorted to, or carried to excess, or applied with. ut 4 re die criniination, in regard to acts of rebellion committed by persons not mutineers. 9. It is unquestionably necessary, in the first attempt to restore order in a district in which the civ.l autho rity has been entirely overthrown, to administer the law with such promptitude and severity as will strike terror into the minds of the evil disposed among the people, and will Undue() them by the fear of death to abstain from plunder, to restore stolen property, and return to peaceful occupations. But this object once in a great degree attained, the punishment of crimes should be regulated with discrimination. 10. The continued administration of the law in its ut most severity after the requisite impreseion has been made upon the rebellious and disorderly, and after order has been partially restored, would have the effect of exasper ating the people, and would probably induce them to band together in large numbers for the protection of their lives and with a view to retaliation, a result much to be deprecated. It would greatly add to the difficulties of settling the country hereafter if a spirit of animosity against their rulers were engendered in the minds of the people, and if their feelings were embittered by the re membrance of needless bloodshed. The civil officers in every district should endeavour, without condoeing any heinous offences or making any promises of pardon for such offences, to encourage all persons to return to their usual occupations, and, punishing only such of the prin cipal offenders as can be apprehend,d, to pastpone as far as possible all minute inquiry into political offences until such time as the Government are in a position to deal with them in strength after thorouJh investigation. It may be necessary, however, even alter a district is partially restored to order, to make examples from time time to time of such persons, if any, who may be guilty of serious outrages against person or property, or who, by stopping the dawk or injuring the electric telegraph or otherwise, way endeavour to promote the designs of those who are waging war against the state. 11. Another point to be noticed in connexion with ' subject is the general burning of villages, which the Governor-General in Council has reason to fear may bays been carried too far by some of the cirri officers employed in restoring order. 12. A severe measure of this sort is doubtless necessary as an example in some cases where the mass of t .e inhabitants of a village have committed a grave outrage, and the perpetrators cannot be punished in their per sons ; but any approach to a wholesale destruction of property by the officers of Government, without due re gard to the guilt or innocence of those who are affected by it, must be strongly reprehended. Apart from the effect which such a practice would have upon the feelings and disposition of the country people, there can be no doubt that it would prevent them from returnir4 to their villages and resuming the cultivation of their fields, a point at this season of vital importance, inas much as if the lands remain much longer unsown, dis. trese'and even famine may be added to the other difficul ties with which the Government will have to contend.

At the Legislative Council on Saturday the passing of the Arms Bill was deferred for a week, Mr. Dorin re• marking that he was not aware of any particular reason for hurrying on with it. A new section was introduced into it, giving every person the power, on reasonable suspicion of danger to the public peace, to apprehend without a warrant an armed man, and detain him until he could be handed over to the police. Some allusion having been made to the Penal Code, Sir Arth'ir Buller said, that in the present:state of the country it was neither desirable nor possible that the Penal Code could soon become law. Mr. Peacock re• marked that he did not think the Penal Code would come into operation at a very early period. 0 wing to the necessity of concentrating large forces at Aliahabad and Cawnpore, the district of Goruckpore bad to be abandoned. Immediately after the withdrawal of the British, the standard of the Prophet was planted in the town, and the district taken possession in the name of the King of Oude. TUESDAY, SEPT. 1.

An engarement took place on the 19th of August, north of Azimghur, between a force composed of three or four thousand Mussulmans, with guns, under Mabo med Hossein, and sonic, Goorka troops who were escorting the officials of Goruckpore to Benares. After a severe contest the enemy fled, leaving three hundred killed and wounded. WE'uNitsuaY, SEPT. 2. Extract of a letter from an officer with Gonerel Havelock's force : " The Sepahee of my regiment has again come in from Lucknow ; he loft all well there, and says they have lots of provisions ; the news has quite elated me. The rebels blew up a mine; our people after some fighting sallied out, and boned materials for repairing the breach, which is all secure again. Everything now is looking up ; the Delhi news is good, and cholera is leaving us." Mr. Owen John Elias, an American gentleman, wcll know in our city for his munificence and large donations to charitable iustitutione, has subscribed to the " fund for the relief of the sufferers by the present disturbances" a further sum of Company's re. 6,000 in addition to his first subscription of rs. 1,500. We believe this is the largest sum subscribed by a single individual in India towards that laudable object. We understand that several of the officers of her Ma jesty's 53d, ordered to proceed to Allahabad, experience great difficulty in procuring conveyance for their private effects. Some have tried to purchase hackeries and bul locks on the:r own account, but find it difficult to procure cattle sufficiently strong for the purpose. Major Si,smore has proposed to government to raise a regiment of Coles; There is no doubt they would do good service on the south-west frontier. The proposal is now under consideration. We would refer the autho rities to the follow.ng remark of General Britrgs : "Toe native army is made up almost entirely of fin dons and Mahomedane, while a prejudice among those castes, in which the ()Seers and the government partake, exists against the aboriginal race. N ow , it so h appe e s that in the wars of Lawrence, Clive, and Coote, in the Caruatic, the aborigines constituted by far the great majority of the &pop. It was they who opposed Hyder Ally, the ruler of Mysore, and who gained the battle of Plessey, is Bengal, before a Bengal army existed. It was they (the Parwaries of the Bombay army) who, in the siege of Mangalore, together with the 2d battalion of the 42d Highlanders, under Colonel Campbell, defended that fortress for six months against a besieging army of forty thousand men, and consented to honourable terms of sur render only when on the point of starvation (as did the garrison of 'Kars), having buried within its walls more than half its numbers. The Bengies of this race, the aborigines of Bengal, constituted a portion of the infantry of the Mogul armies ; and it is a fact not gene rally known, though nevertheless true, that they claimed the honour so the indigiees of the soil to form the for lorn hope and the storming parties in all its desperate , services.

The Mohurrum festival passed over, as I antici pated, throughout the Presidency, in the most per fect quiet. A. less noisy celebration of it has never been known iu Madras. Every caution was taken to prevent a disturbance; and it is probable that not loyalty, but fear, had a wholesome influence on the wretched, starving, and, I might almost say, spectral inhabitants of Triplicaue. How the unfor tunate creatures manage to subsist is to me a per fect marvel. The wretched Mussulmans of Tripli cane had little enough of diversion during this fes tival, but something new at least they did have, and that was a past mime, in which the performers did the " shoulder up" and " fix bayonets" of the vo lunteers in a style little inferior to that of the heroes themselves. I have no wish to cast reflec tions on a gallant and patriotic body of men; but this I will say, that a more ridiculous farce was never enacted than this one of the volunteers. The body was formed almost solely with a view to an emergency which is past; and when that emergency occurred, that is to say, the Mohurrum festival, not a single volunteer had fired a ball cartridge, while the serviceable men, who might be said to form a sixth of th e w hole, declared that if they were called out they would be in infinitely greater dread of their bungling comrades than of the rabble itself.

REPORT OF THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKET PROM THE IST TO THE 16TH SEPT. _ _ The overlanci7;ilOf the 11th August, from London, reached us on the morning of tbe3d inst., per Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Bombay. The ac counts of the weather and the prospects of the season have been very favourable from all parts of India, and an abundant harvest is confidently looked for. We have no change to report in our money-market during the past fortnight. Bank rates of interest remain the same, and money is plentiful in the bazaar. Government securities have fluctuated considerably since our last report. Fours have changed hands at from 77) to 82, and Fives from 89 to 92, but in conse quence of the low quotations now ruling at Calcutta for these securities our market has given way, and we now quote nominally Fours 80, and Fives 90—no buyers. Our local joint-stock shares keep remarkably firm, at nearly former quotations. MONEY MARKET.

Since our last report we have experienced increas#d tightness, and the refusal of the Bank of Bengal to ad vance further loans on deposit of Government securities, except to approved customers, and that, too, not to a large extent, has caused much embarrassment in com mercial (porters. It is evident the bank has been forced t..) adopt such a course, the state of its finances and the gradual reduction of the amount of cash not permitting Indiscriminate advances. How long matters,are to con tinue in their present state it is difficult to foresee. The Bank of Bengal rates have been fxid at the last . .. meeting of the direc . in-s as follows ;—Discouet,— Private bits and nutes at or within 3 months, 11 per cent ; Go vernment acceptances, nut having more than 30 days to run, 9 do. ; Mint certificates, 5 do. ; Ditto, ditto, having less than 7 days to run, par.

Company's paper, Company's ru pees 100, 75 advance ; 5 per cent. Company's paper, Company's rupees 100, 85 advance. Government Securities—We regret to o'ostrve that the increased tightness of the money market and the ref tkal of the Bank of Bengal to grant accommodation on deposit of Government securities unless the parties be approved by the directors, have combined to depre ciate further the value of all securities. There are very fere purchasers iu the market, and as no large salts' can be effected under the existing circurnstauces, un less at a heavy sacrifice, holders are prevented from offering frtely, and this has helped to check a greater fall in the rates. Oa the whole, the position of this market could not have been wore unsatisfactory, and it is difficult to foresee what changes will take place 10 future. %V 0 quote Four per Cents. at 25r. and Five per Cents. at 11r to 12r. per cent. discount. No thing doing in Four-and-a-Hall per Cents., which com mand a nominal value. Exchange —On LondJn—The market for the mail opened at 2s 2jd to 2s 21d for American and other first class credits ; some bank bills were also sold at the same figure, %ben the rata advanced rapidly to 2s 3J, and latterly 2s 3,(,d, which is to-day's quotation for first-class six mouths' sight paper, and even at this high figure it wou.d be difficult to place a large arn,unt, owing to the scarcity of money. Document bills have been cold at About .I,d to id over credit rates. On China—Some transactions took place at 215 r. for $lOO, but owin:f to the limited dern.ind for bills the rate declined to 210 e., at which abJut.the last transaction took place. EXPORTS FROM CALCUTTA. Indigo.—The rolnufacturing is drawing to a close with less favourable results than at tint anticipated. It ie now evident that the produce of this year will fall short of last season's crop. Sugar.—We have been without any transactions for the British markets. Our quotations are nominally the same as at the date of our last, although it would be diffi cult to place any large quantity vt a rupee per maund under. Saltpetre.—The market hai been rising rapidly and prices are considtifably higher since our last. The de mand is moderate, but our stock also is very small and supplies expected to ba short for some time. lice.--In table qualities we have had very little doing, but as the market is bare of large supplies, no change in price can noticed, Rtw silk —Although largo shipments aro going for ward by the present mail, it must be remembered that the principal portion consists of European filatures shipped on manufacturers' account. The transactions ,ince our last bave been chiefly confined to native qua lities, which have been gradually declining in value, and at closing we have silks offered at 4r. to sr. ander our last mail rates without meeting with buyers. The sales have been—fine native Hurrypank or Doulutpores, as they are now called, at 16r. to 18r. ; Cossiinbazar at 13r. to 18r. Ba. ; V and S M Trafalgar at 24.'. These prices are at present untenable, and 2r, per seer lower would be gladly accepted. Hides and Skins.---Although supplies of late have been considt-rably reduced, the market remains without alteration, tho advicae from home not admitting of any active demand for hides. Oil Seeds.—Linseed has been in good demand for the Atthrican markets, and value well supporte I. We have hardly anything doing for the Britian markets. Quota tionv, rs. 3-1 2 to vs. 4 4 per maund according to quality. Opium,—Previous t) the arrival of the steamer Fiery Cross with advices from Hong Kong to the 15th ultimo, our market had been gradually on the advance. On receipt of letters by her, prices receded to 1,290 r. for Patna, but immediately after a reaction took place, and, a geLeral impression prevailing among native dealers that in c,thsequenco of the disturbed state of the Patna and Benares districts, the cultivation of the poppy would be considerably checked, if not abandoned altogether for the present, the drug gradually rose until the 9th sale, which took place on the 4th inst. Patna was quoted at 1,365 r. Our quotations now are 1,270 r. to 1,272 r., but it is apprehended these figures cannot be main tained under existing circumstances, especially if the advice'? now hourly look e d f or by the? Lightning from China prove unfavourable. IMPORTS FROM EUROPE. Gray Shirtings.—A better demand has prevailed con sequent on large requirements for Lower Bengal and local consumption during the ensuing native holidays, and prices have advanced about one anna a-piece, but we are still without transactions for the Upper Provinces. White Shirtings have been in moderate request, but we have no alteration in prices to notice. Gray Jaconota have been placed to a larger extent than before, and an improvement of about 2 annas a piece has take❑ place during the fortnight. White Jaconote.—Withont much doing, we only give the ruling quot..tiona :—r. 1-0 to 1-4 for low, 1.8 to 2-1 middling, and 3.4 to 5-4 fine. White cambrics continue in the same neglected state, not a single sale having transpired for some time past. 'folksy Red Goods.—We are still without buyers for any sort, and our quotations must therefore be considered quite nominal. Woollens.—The position of these goods is quite unal tered, there being no purchasers, and value nominally the sine. Coloured Yarns have continued in fair rcqu"st at previous figures—namely, at 1-2 6 to 1-6-6. Turkey red (3erinau dye 1.0 6to 1-4-0 for British dye.
