MTAY sr; .113 vri Tr? • MARKET D COMMERCJAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocs. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed 611111 Y, but the demand was limit •cl. Prices were without any material alteration. The sales were estimated at 5,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed with a rather more active appear ance.) and there was a slight improvement in prices. Another small mercantile failure was announced cm 'Chang e yesterday afternoon. It was that of 14 e 8 ' 81 'n• Ashmore and Sons, engaged in the drug a nd oil trade, and although their transacti , ms were not very large, the liabilities are esti m ated at from OAR to 50,0001. Thy Bank of England return completed for the week ending the Ist inst., is quite as unfavourable 43 was anticipated. The decline in the Lullion is Important, but this movement was expected in e3 e 2 equence of the rapid influx of gold which lately took place to the Continent. This movement, how ever, has now been arrested, and it is thought t hat a portion of the anticipated supplies from Australia will soon replace some of the deficiency. The reserve of notes has been trenched upon and there is an increase in the other securities of up wards of two millions owing to the preparations w hich Were making at the date of the return for the payments on the 4th of the month. The state nlent is consequently unsatisfactory, but there is reason to believe that a better one will be published next week. The principal items and the changes t hey present are as subjoined : - - Active Circulation • Increase . 328,585 Bullion Decrease Rest Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Increase Seven-Day and other Bills 766.489 Increase Government Securities Decrease Other Seco -Lies ............... 18.217,524 Increase ........................... 2 165,969 Notes unemployed ....................... 5,229,400 ........................... 695,185 Decrease The official return of the exports of bullion from t he port of London for the week ending Thurs day 'ast is as follows :I-- Gold Coin ••• Belgium ... 1,500 °rt.

Yesterday the bars received by the last West India packet were sold at ss. 2d. per ounce standard. A. great deal of conversation has taken place on the. Stock Exchange in consequence of an endeavour that has been made by a Joint Stock Bank to get back some money they have pa 4 d away on cheques at the t. learing House by mistake, the party draw ing upon them having no assets. The directors of the Great Western Railway company have announced a dividend at the rate of i per cent. per annum, and this has materially Produced considerable deprestsion in the value of the sha res . F or some d a ys past a strong tendency In a decline has been noticeable, but to-day a further fall of from 4 to 5 per cent. has occurred. The Market for English Securities has been very quiet to-day, and rather less firm in consequence of the unfa voura bl e B an k' return. This has led to a l e'vr sales, but, generally speaking, the transactions have been unimportant. The market will remain in au uncertain state until the further intelligence n e anxiously awaited from India shall arrive.

The following letter was addressed to a near relative in England by an officer of the 9th Li g ht Cavalry. The date is not very recent, and several of the details contained in it have been already men= tioned : '" My dear —, I sent you a letter by the last mail, hut from the unsettled state that the country is in I cannot think there is the least probability of its ever having reached you. I will therefore re peat a great deal of what I then told you. We have, indeed, had a very anxious time of it here lately in consequence of a great portion of the native army having in utinied. The disaffection was fiat shown in the 19th N.I. at Berampore. The reason they cave for their conduct was, that they objected to the new cartridges that were served out to them, which they had been told were greased with pig's fat, which they said was prejudicial to their caste and also against their religion ; but this reason for their mutiny is of course absurd, for they were assured by Government that they were not made up of any thing they could object to. However, this mutinous spirit continued to spread, and next appeared in the 34th Native Infantry at Barackpore. On parade one of the men at!enepted to cut down the adjutant and the sergeant-major (who is European). They were both wounded, and were carried off the parade ground. The man has since been hung, also one of the men who was ordered to arrest hole, and who disobeyed. That part of the regiment that was present at this parade, consisting of seven corn panie4, has been disbande 1. I should have told you that the whole of the 19th Regiment has been punished in the same manner. This occurred two or three months since, but about three weeks ago three native regiments at Meerut have mutinied • also two at Urnballah, one at Allghur, two at Fero: zepore ; also the native regiments at Lahore, Pesba wur, Nowshera, Delhi, and two regiments in Oude. If the brutes had been more successful at the places I have mentioned I believe the whole Indian army to a men would have rebelled and murdered all the Europeans in the country, who, I am sorry to say, are but few for =this large presidency. We have only about 20 European regiments besides the European . artillery, therefore if the niggers had planed their designs better they would not have had much trouble in getting rid of us. As it is, they have murdered a great many people. Part of the 3d Light Cavalry, rode over from Meerut to . Delhi, and on their arrival the regiment there joined them, and murdered every European they could find, ladies and children inclusive. I hear the Misses Fraser, daughters of Mr. Fraser, of the Com pany's Service, fe'l into the hands of the infuriated savages, and, after having murdered the father, and committed crimes of the most diabolical description upon the girls, they then beheaded them and pa raded their bodies about the city the remainder of the day. I believe the men of one regiment at Delhi (I think the 74th) marched their officers a short distance out of their cantouments, and then allowed them to escape. Indeed, several officers escaped from the scene of butchery through the kind ness, it is said, of their men. There were 15 women and children who took refuge in the Palace of Delhi —all murdered. We hear that it was the inhabitants of the city who were the perpetrators of the horrid deeds I have told you of ; but, sup posing that to be true, they ehe soldiers) are just as culpable as if they committed the deeds themselves., From Meerut also we have some sad accounts. For ' instance, the wife of the adjutant of the 20th Native Infantry fell into the hands of these inhuman brutes, and was afterwards burnt to death. 'Tis dreadful the reports that come to us. I have been told that Mrs. M'Donald, after having been treated in the same brutal manner, was besmeared all over with oil and burnt to death, but I - cannot believe this is true. We bear so many things that one does not know what to believe. ou wilt be sorry to hear that among the list of killed I see Mr. and Mrs. Dawson, of the 3d Light Cavalry, Meerut (this is Mr. K. Dawson's sou), but I have not heard that any act of violence was offered to either of them before they were murdered. Well, now I come to our part of the country. It was discovered by the Commissioner at Lahore that the native regiments (four) agreed on the night of the 15th inst. to rise at a given signal, and murder all the Europeans in the station; therefore the Brigade was pa raded, and the native portion were then disarmed. The 16th N.I. hesitated a little, but in front of her Majesty's 81st Foot and two troops of horse artil lery they wise7y gave up their arms, or they would most certainly have been fired into. The officers in Lahore now live together in three houses, and the ladies are all in two buildings, and are ordered by the brigadier not to come out eitherby night or day. The men for several nights slept at their guns, and no one thought of taking off his clothes, and the 81st Queen's Regiment was under arms for nights. I heard from a brother officer at Lahore the other day. He says 15 of them sleep in one house. They remain dressed all night—pistols under pillow and sword by bed-side. Horses saddled all night ready to jump on to in a moment. He says four of them keep watch while the others lie down. The Corn m'ssioner ascertained by means of a bribe that the niggers had endeavoured to get up a conspiracy to murder us at a large dinner party given at our mess. They thought it would be a favourable oppor tunity, as we should then be unarmed and pert', ctly helpless, but some of our men would not consent to it, and we therefore providentially escaped. Our Brigadier took every precaution, and had the Eu ropeans ready night and day in case the fellows should break out. The guns, which before were under a native guard, were drawn up in front of the European barracks, horses harnessed all night ; officers and men not on duty lay . down with their clothes on. We slept soundly In a house, and adopted the same means as I have told you they did at Lahore. But, much to our regret, an order arrived from the Commander-in-Chief in the Pun jaub, from her Majesty's 52d Regiment, all the artillery, the 35th Native Infantry, and a wing of my regiment, to march to Ferzerabad, and join General Chamberlain's army there, but our Briga dier kept back two guns and 200 of her Majesty's 52d, but they have since been ordered to join the others, and will leave the station to-night. This will leave us with no Europeans in the station (except officers), and we shall have the other wing of my regiment here and the 46th Regi ment of Native Infantry, but I see no fear now. The niggers have signally failed at the other stations, and are in a precious funk now, and evidently wished they had never mutinied. I hope, the General will punish them severely at Lahore. Nothing less than blowing them away from the guns will be of any use. The Lahore Chrenacle yesterday stated that the Commander-in-Chief had hung 170 men at U mballah, I onl y hope it is true (I doubt if it is). There is an army on its way to Delhi, with a siege train. The niggers hold pos session of the place. I onl y ho p e they will remain there until our troops come up, and, by Jove, they will catch it. 1 believe the whole place is to be levelled with the ground. I should have told you that the same paper that brought us the above in telligence also stated that the Commander-in-Chief had been attacked with cholera, and died on his way to Delhi, The editor of a native paper at Peshawur had written a seditious article in it, and was immediately seized, tried, and hung in less than 12 hours after he was taken. This is the way to serve them. The people in the Punjaub take no part in the rebellion. On the contrary, they do all they can to assist the Government — bring in deserters, bound hand and foot, for which they get 20r. a head. Well, I must say ' Good bye,' but will keep this open until the last moment in case any news should arrive. " Since I wrote this I hear it is a false report that the Commander-in-Chief had hung 170 men at Umballah. 1 have been told by good authority that the China force lately sent out from England has been sent for, also a regiment from the Mauri tius, one from Ceylon, and two are coming up the Indus—Europeans I mean ; any other sort a re no use. The Brigadier has remonstrated with the people at army head-quarters for taking away the few Europeans, and asks, in the event of a rebel lion, what is to become of the 100 sic k men left behind by the 52d Queen's and the Artdlery ? " Sealkote, May 29." --- The following are extracts from a letter written by the Rev. James Kennedy, of Benares : " The morning of the sth was fixed by the mili tary authorities for the di s arming. D urin g the 4th news arrived that a Native Infantry regiment at Azimghur, some 60 miles from this, had mutinied and seized some 170,000/. of treasure. The news somehow reached the Sepoys as soon as it did the authorities, and greatly excited them. The new Brigadier resolved to disarm the at once. A p arade was hastily ordered.ordered.37th theydh . i c tr l h i uNes hot European ds e uortooo a h r i Sepoys The bells of arms, as they are called the ie h r k f s e a w p rin t e — r s e , i l n ock w e lwitetrlee ho suddenlyuses than also that undersee this, ar amnsd,j ete m hra s end ibsdeo are llsdh . e burst open the doors, and seized Besides this regiment there was I their weapons. regi ment, which was much trusted , here a Sikh irregular cavalry regiment , and likewise an at the beginning of these 't eo well thought of that from Sultanpore , 12 mil roubles it was called in Many s p o k e higly of es distant, to defend us. ments, and the loyalty of these regi but among others the' others doubted them, and the doubters have turned out correct.

A boy named Thompson, only ten years cf age, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a pair of boots and a gown, the property s) his mother. On being asked what he had to say in answer to the charge, the boy said that he took the things and pawned them, and that he should continue to steal ss long as he could, or as long as he lived, if not sent to school. The mother of the chill, on being called, said the boy was her son, worse luck ; and as t) send him to school, she couldn't affird the 2d. a-week. The magistrate said he was sorry there was no reformatory to w hi c h he could send the child, and he therefore sentenc e d lim to three months' impri sonment with hard labour.

RAIL WA PORTSMOUTH. The half yearly meceng of this company was held on Thursday, at the offices, Great. George street, Westminster—Mt;. W. Jackson, M.P., in the chair. The report' stated, with respect to the works, considerable progress bad been made - during the last half-year with the excavations at all the important point , , and in ballasting and laying the permanent way, while the masonry of the bridges and culverts was well forward. The directors were confident that the line would be completed and ready for opening t ) the public in the spring of next year, provided the contractor was placed in posses sion of the land throughout its entire length, the lighter works requiring close attention. More than LOCO men and 160 horses were employed; and in the excavations 1,090,000 cubic yards hadbeen removed in the last six months, making about two-thirds of the total quantity now completed. To secure the opening of the line by the period above-mentioned, and also to provide, in case of need, sufficient plant to work the traffic, the directors had made arrangements for the issue of so much of the 133,0001. debenture capital of the company as would be necessary. In addition to the above, as the company had power under its act of this year to r.iise 50,000/. upon 5 per cent. preference shares the directors had made arrangements for the imme diate issue of these shares, with the condition an nexed, that the company shall have the option of redeeming them at par at, any time within two years from the 3d day of July, 1857. A further source of supply of capital at the • command of the company was the issue of the shar s the forfeiture of which was confirmed at the last half-yearly meeting. The directors and their friends were prepared to take up the remainder of those shares as ordinary shares, without loss to the company, but had deemed it right, before doing so, to offer the shares pro rata to the proprietors. The result of the above-mentioned arrangements would be that the direcUirs would be able to postpone calling up . the 21. per share remaining unpaid upon the company? shares. The following wCte the main features of the agreement between the company and the London and South-Western Company with reference to the Godalming and Shal ford line-Ist. the company isto abandon its Shalford line, excepting the half-mile curve neces sary to connect the South-Western Godalming branch with the South-Eastern line at Shalford. 2d. The Sonth-Western Company is to allow the company's traffic to be worked over their Godalming branch to and from the South-Eastern line at Shal ford, as well as to and from the Guildford station. 3. The company is to pay the South- Western Company 50 per cent. of its mileage rates for -the above use, and may commute at 1,0001. a year the rate. payable in respect of its traffic to and from Shalford. 4th. The company and the South-Western Company are to have the right of using each other's Godalming stations, and the in tervening portions of each other's lines, free of charge, except the proportion of the station ex penses due to the traffic of each. By the above arrangements the South-Western Company will be relieved from having a line made side to side with their Godalming branch, while the company will be saved from raising the considerable amount of capi tal which their Shalford line would have cost, and secured its independent connection with the South- Eastern line, which has always been an object of essential importance. The statement of receipts and expenditure, made up to the 30th of June last, since the formation of tho company, showed total receipts to the amount of 269,9781. 9s. 7d., and total expenditure 262,3411. 6s. 10d., leaving the balance of 7,637/. 2s. 9d. in favour of the company. The report was adopted, and the meeting having been made special, resolutions were passed fur carrying out the financial arrangements, and re electing the retiring:directors. CROMFORD AND HIGH PEAK. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Thursday, at Derby—Mr. F. Wright in the chair. The report stated that the increase inthe revenue during the last half-year amounted to 1401., arising principally from minerals. The interest on the debenture stock, class A, and on the 6 per cent. preference shares will be payable on the Ist Sep tember next. The works between Buxton and Whaley have made steady progress, and will be completed by the time the junction with the Stockport and Whaley bridge line is ready for traffic. By the construction of this junction a direct through communication will be obtained between the Midland Railway and the London and North- Western Railway, near Stockport, and a consider able increase in the traffic is expected. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, and approving the accounts. CORK AND BANDON. The directors of this company, in their report, state that the receipts of the last six months show an increase of 5831. as compared with the corresponding period of the previous year. The increase of traffic has principally arisen from the transit of merchan dise and agriculturalproduce.

Immediately one of these troop ers fired on him, anti the ball grazed his arm. Another trooper—a loyal one—immediately turned on the rebel and cut him down, thus saving Captain. Dodgson's life, as the rebel was rushing on him with his sword, and Captain Dodgson was for the moment disable 1. It was evident that while the 37t11. was thoroughly mutinous there were loyal men among the Sikhs and the cavalry, but in the strife it was im possible to distinguish them, asthey w,re mingled to. gether The rebel fire was, of course, returned by the European soldiers, and then the guns opened, moving down number of the mutineers. The Europeans were a mere handful compa red with the native force arrayed agaiust them, but they had the advantage of having three guns, while the others had only muskets. Iu such cir cumstances, the mutineers could rush at once on. the guns and capture them, but this is not the native fashion. On the opening of the guns all the rebels ran for shelter behind trees and !lute, from w hich they tried to keep up th e con t est, but soon their only concern was to get entir'ly beyond the r each of the feared and hated white soldiers. The heavy firing continued for nearly two hours, but skirmishing continued for several hours longer. How many of the mutineers perished it i 3 impoesible to say, but it is certain teat many have fallen. On our side there were four killed an d. 21 wounded, of whom several are sure to die. There were only: 200 Europe ins altogether, while the numberngainst them, including the mutinous cavalry, was about 2,000. My house is out of can tonments, and therefore in the first place we weT less exposed than others. We had just finished. dinner, about 5p.m., when our watchman rushed, into the house and exclaimed, 'Flee, Sahib, flee, the regimen s have mutinied.' How he knew so soon do not know, for by that time a shot had not been. fired. I suppose he had heard of the soldiers gathering, thought there was to be mischief, and. ran to tell us. He had just spoken when we heard. the sharp ratttle of the musketry, and then the boom of the cannon. We thought it was full time for us to move with our four children. The gari was ordered, and according to a p'an formerly arranged, in the event of a d;sthrbence, we hast ened as fast as our horse cou!d US, to the house of a Mr. Gordon, on the hanks of the Ganges, close to its principal ferry at Beeares. As that is a great thoroughfare, and it was poQsible enough a party of mutineers might come that way, it was deemed prudent to engage beats and, ferry ourselves out into the middle of the river till news should reach us. Consequently the Buyerses, Batlantynes, ourselves, and some others got out on. the river and awaited tidings w,th intense anxiety. By this time the heavy firing lied ceased, and the rattle of the musketry was so irregular t hat it was evident the battle was well-nigh over, but on what side the victory was we did not know. The whole city was covered with smoke, which led us to fear there was an immense conflagration, but it turned out there had been only a part of cnitonments ore fire. At length we heard th r authorities were victorious. We returned to Mr. Gordon's house, intending to remain there for the night, when Capt. Dodgson, notwithstand ing his wound, accompanied by several others, gal loped into fhe compound, and toll us that, although the mutineers were routed, they were about in great numbers, and that it was absolutely necessary for safety to proceed to a large building called the Mint, in the middle of cantonments, which was put into a state of defence. Most providentially, at that very time a party of English soldiers, 'TO in num ber, were reported as having arrived at the ghat' (ferry), and so, escorted by them and a small por tion of the Irregular Cavalry who hid remained. faithful, we proceeded to the Mint, where we ar rived at midnight. What a scene of confusion and. tumult was there! All in front bands of English soldiers, ready to act at a moment's notice • men, women, and children, high and low, huddled to gether, wondering at meeting together at such a time and such a place, not knowing where they were to throw themselves down for the night, and altogether looking quite bewildered. As to sleep, that was out of the question. I felt drowsy for a few minutes between 3 and 4, when I heard one say to another, 'The magistrate has bean sent for. The city is rising.' In answer to the demand for aid, all the answer given to the heed native magis trate in the city was, Do your best, we cannot spare a man.' Rioting did break out in the city, but it was suppressed, and the city has since re mained astonishingly quiet. " The sth (Friday) was, as you may suppose, a day of intense excitement. No person ventured beyond the compound of the Mint, except be were heavily armed or strongly escorted. The Mint had a most warlike appearance. The place was bristling with arms. All round the rooms there were rifles, swords, and other weapons. At night I ventured to go from the Mint to the barracks, with two friends, one of whom had a revolver and another a rifle. My principal. object in going was to see a young man, a son of Dr. Tweedie, of Edinburgh, who had. been wounded in the engagement of the preceding day. I found him in a wretched place, but not so ill as 7I had been led to expect. I shall never forget the scene at the hospital that night. The men lying on little bedstead -7, near enough just to allow a person to pass between them, with the most frightful wounds, some evidently suffer ing excruciating pain, and others nearly in sensible, was a sickening sight. Then, again, all over the plain were bands of soldiers, looking at the bodies of the slain, of which many had till that time remained unremoved. The question now was how we were to manage for the night. Some had slight native bedsteads, and more had only shakedowns. A number sl7pt in the awfully heated room, and others betook themselves to the roof of the building in the open air. The latter was our choice. None, of course, took off their day clothing, for we were to sleep in public, as we had. been living in public, Rank was for a time obliged. to demean itself humbly. Our commissioner slept with his family in a room on shake downs, with other families sleeping all around. them, and there from night to night they continue to sleep. We got on tolerably well till the middle of the night, when a dust storm came on. A num ber then went in, but the heat was so suffocating inside that we remained out till the morning, and. then with dust we looked like chimney-sweeps. " Thursday, June 11.—We have to-day ven tured to our home, and here we are in peace, and I believe in safety. We are so thankful and happy to be in our house again ; but we must not remain. here. For some time to come we expect'to be re quired to sleep within the line of the English pickets. This day week we were obliged to make our hasty flight. What a memorable week it has been ! A white face was before a positive advan tage ; since this outbreak has commenced it has been a mark for the assassin. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES." Sir,—ln The Times of this morning is a letter from Mr. Fairholme, containing an extract from a communication from the Bombay Presidency, dated the 23d of June, intimating that Delhi was known at that date to have fallen. From the tenour of the communication the writer is evidently a resi dent at Sattara, whom I should have little diffi culty in identifying, and commuuicated the state of matters and rumours as bslievoi in at that date. Sattara is 200 miles further off from Delhi than Bombay, from which I have leit6is up to the de. spatch of the mail on the Ist of J uly. The rumour given by Mr. Fairholme, as fact, prevailed a week before, had by this time become exploded, and Delhi certainly had not fallen up to the 26th of June. Your own correspondent gives the most full, accurate, and recent information on all these subjects, and his letters, as far as they extend, are infinitely more to be relied upon, both in point of correctness and recency than those of private parties,yiyo synnotleatctteursaldlyiscaotutnhteesncaeinle9eotteacidtieTo. of danger and commotion around Bombay which are now. 3T :ear P w u as bli ent se e: becoming prevalent in this so co l i i i t n u t e r curities had become affected from no distrust ino ur credit, but from the belief that a 6 per cent. loan, enlightened capitalists that the was tai e a d b o b t y i t theto be more opened.enlig West of India Canal Irrigation Company, who had completed their surveys, were only waiting for the sanction of the home authorities of the terms re commended by the Bombay revenue officers, and concurred in byPiovernment, to commence the con struction of a canal 90 miles in length.

The belief seemed to be that private enterprise was at present more available for carrying on pubic works than it ever before had been, without any guarantee or other stimulant, or any interference with the arra,ngements of the admi. nistration, if they could only get through with their preliminary correspondence, through that monstrous set of " Circumlocution offices," which stand in the way yourogreßs in the East.
