THE WIND OF PROJECTILES. The fact that a cannon ball passing close by a a living s u bj ec t exerc i ses a l atera l pressu re on the air sufficient t o p ro d uce a con t us i on h as o ften been asserted, and as o ft en d en i e d. O n this disputed matter M. E. Pelikan, of St. Petersburg, has just presented a paper to the Academy of Sciences of Paris, giving an account of certain experiments in stituted with a view to set the question at rest. Having obtained the concurrence of the Russian Government, M. Pelikan caused a cylinder of sheet iron, 1 foot in diameter, to be constructed, with a piston moving easily inside. The piston-rod was provided at its outer extremity with a black lead pencil to mark the recoil on a slip of paper. The whole apparatuswas firmly fixed on a strong wooden frame. The piston and piston-rod weighed 81b., and a force of lilb. was requisite to make the piston recoil an inch. At four metres' distance from the frame a wooden screen was erected, in order to as certain the distance of the projectile from the piston at the moment of its passage. Although the experiments instituted in 1843 and 1844 in the arsenal of Washington, by Major Mordicay proved that at the distance of 48 feet the gases emanating from the powder have no effect upon the balistic pendulum, a second screen was placed before the other, at 5 metres' distance from the apparatus, in order to protect it, if necessary, from the action of these gaseL A 401 b. howitzer was then placed at a distance of 14 metres from the first screen, the charge of powder being 41b. ; the velocity of the projectile at that distance was equal to that of a bombshell projected with a 71b. charge—viz., 956 feet per second. The results obtained showed,-1, that at a distance of 3 inches, the piston remained immovable ; 2, that even when the projectile broke off a part of the wooden frame supporting the cy linder the piston gave no indication of motion ; 3, but that if the projectile just grazed the surface of the piston, a recoil of 2 inches was obtained ; 4, if, on the other hand, a fragment of the frame hit the the cylinder the piston, instead of moving back wards, would move forwards about 31 li nes ; 5, if the cylinder, instead of being placed parallel to the screens, was placed obliquely, a recoil would take place of from one-quarter to one-half of an inch. Hence M. Pelikan concludes that, since the piston required a force of lilb. in order to be moved an inch, and the wind of a cannon-ball can never be expected to exercise such a torte, the passage of a projectile close to a living subject will only produce an insignificant effect, which cannot amount to a contusion. DECEMBER 1, 1857. THE LATE O'VELAND MAILS PROM INDIA. •Itisto be regretted that-the last Overland Mails did not reach London in time ta be delivered in London on Saturday night and 'despatched into the country by the evening mails of that gay. It . ceould not be helped,,how ever. A grrat .eff was made to obtain a ,BUCCeS3 similar to that achieved on several former occasions ;- but the anxiety pr the Post-office authorities, it appears, could not lull . Mediterranean gales, or effitct a quicker railway - transit from 'Marseilles to London. The bad weather male a long passage.for the mail packet Vectis of. about 66 .hours from Malta to Mar ge lies, and the special train that left the latter place at noon on Friday, did not. travel so fist as the expreis train that left Marseilles for Paris two hours earlier.. It was fully expected that this Vain would reach Paris in rinse to dispatch the mails to Boulogne by 8 o'clock on Saturday morning ; but it was nearly two hours after that time, or at 9.50, that the train started, and then it did not get to Boulogne before 10 minutes past three in the afternoon. The mail packet,: Prince Frederick Wil liam, remained in harbour until the last moment, and then steamed into the roads ; bat no time was lost at Boulogne, 'or the 71 boxes of:,Cliina, Calcittta, Bombay, and Australian mails (the largest number and the heaViest that ever came via Marseilles) were -down on the beach from the station, embarked in four good pilot boats, and on board the packet in .35 minutes, although there was a considerable stwell.on the bar. The vessel left Boulogne Roads 43.45 ,and against a strong E.N.E, wind and tide, and a:heavy head sea. arrived - at Dover in two hourst' and eight 'minutes. Here every l .thing was in readiness and everybady eager to assist, and Captain Isl'llwaine, the Admiralty superintendent; Mr. James Walker , of. Georg -street, Westminster, • the -Admiralty civil engineer ;464 Captain Jenkins, : the Mail - Packet were.sPePial.4 pre- : gent. Within-30 minutes the mails were in the special train, and under the direction of Mr. Eborall, the gene ral manager of the South-Eastern Company. who went down to Dover for the official purpose, the mails ran up to London Bridge in 1 hour and 56 minutes, arriving there at 22 minutes past 8 p.m., Mr. Knight. the superintendent of the railway, having previously visited all the stations to clear the way. It will be seen that the efforts of the General Post office, the mail steam packet contractor, and the South- Eastern Railway, were defeated by the lost time be tween Marseilles and Paris ; for if the mails bad reached St. Martin's-le-Grand by 7 p.m., which they would have done bad express speed been run by the special train from Maneillas, the Post-office authorities bad made arrangements even at that comparatively late hour to deliver and despatch the letters the same evening. The following table of number of miles from Mar seilles to Paris, Boulogne, Dover, and London, the time occupied by railway and steam packet, aryl the average number of miles performed per hour, will nearly show how the ground was ran over Average Railways wiles &c.

Had the French railway trains travelled at the same speed as the South-Eastern these mails would have been in Lon don more than nine hours earlier. The route via Boulogne was well-ordered on this as on previous occasions ; for had the mails been dispatched via Calais, they could n At, with the strong E N.E. wind blowing, have been embarked in the roads ; but, had the wind been in the opposite quarter, no time would have been saved via Boulogne. Special and mail trains have run the distance from Paris to Calais in six hours, which is at the rate of the South Eastern mail-train speed, 39 miles an hour. At this rate, with one hour and 30 minutes' sea passage to Dover, and two hour: run from Dover to London, the mails could be con veyed from Paris to Landon, via Dover and Calais, including the time of shipping aid unshipping, in ten hours and a half. It may be that from these successful experiments with the India mailF, some permanent advantage will accrue to the public in the acceleration of the mail services between England and the Continent. THE GLASGOW CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE BANK ACTS. On Friday a meeting of the members of the Chamber of Commerce was held in the Merchants'- hall, Glasgow, to take into consideration the acts of 1844 45. Among those present were the "Lord Provost, S . r James Campbell, W. Buchanan, Esq., Guild, Bailie Clouston, W. J. Davidson, Esq., of Buclie, W Murray, - Esq., of Esq., etc. Wm. 13alfour, Esq., M wr o . ri ß k i ! o a w nd u s , , Es W. P. Paton, E;:q., R. Findlay, Esq., chair man of the Chamber of Commerce, presided. D. SANDEMAN, Esq., read the following resolu tions, which he submitted to the meeting for adoption : " 1. That the arbitrary limitation of the Bank of Eug land's issues upon securities to 14 millions by the Act of 1844 is insufficient Lt. the present requirements of commerce in this country, and a large increased issue is now urgently called for. " 2. That the monopoly of banking now vested in the Bank of England is inconsistent with freedom of trade and with the advancement of agriculture and manufac tures, which would be greatly promoted by the formation of joint banks of large paid-up capital, placed as bankers in all respects on an equal footine with the Bank of England, security. and subject t o necessa ry provi s i ons f or p u bl ic "3. That the Act of 1845 confers a monopoly on the present limited number of the banks in Scotland, and this monopoly may be brought within still narrower limits by the winding up of the existing banks. This monopoly is of itself a serious grievance, and is daily be coming more injurious' to the interests of all classes in Scotland. " 4. That recent as well as former experience proves that the violent action on interest in the rate of discount by the Bank of England, whenever gold beyond a cer tain amount is withdrawn from foreign countries is ruin ous to commerce by causing a great and sudden inter ference of Parliament, and it is urgently required to devise some measure of relief, and not to trust to the capricious working of the Bank Act. " 5. That this chamber petition both Houses of Par Foment to repeal or amend the Acts of 1844 and 1845 tor regulating the issue of bank notes." Mr. BUCHANAN M . P , seconded the adoption of the resolutions. The DEAN of Gunn suggested that the phraseo logy of the last resolution should be altered to the words "to consider the propriety of modifying or repealing the acts." Mr. SANDEMAN acquiesced in the alteration. Sir JAMES CAMPSELL proposed an amendment to the effect-- " That this chamber petition Government to consider the monetary system of the country, and whether some modifications in the provisions of the Bank Act of 1844 and 1854 be not advisable, more especially whether the extended commerce of the country does not call for a larger accommodation of paper currency based oa public securities. After some discussion, the amendment moved by Sir James Campbell, and the resolution moved by Mr. Sandeman, we re pu t to th e mee ti ng , w h en it was found that the amendment was lost. NORTIIUI.IIB KR LAND AND DURHAM DISTRICT BANK. NE WCA STI4 E-ON-TYN E, SATURDAY. This has been market-day, and, as is usual, the town has bees crowded with county people and pitmen. The local savings bank, which should have been closed to-day for the yearly settlement of its accounts was; opened by the manager to allay any apprehension that might exist, but there were no demands upon it t hy the depositors. The managers of the National and Provincial Bank, which has branches in North and South Shields, sent a gentleman down from their head office in London, with ample means to meet any emergency that might arise through the sudden closing of the id District," but not 2001. was withdrawn from either of the branches, and the most liberal accommodation was afforded by the bank to its customers. The bank of Messrs. Woods, Parker, and Co. (the Union) has also exhibited considerable liberality to its custom ers in Shields, and this morning the wages of the ship wrights employed in the yards at Shields and the work men employed in the glasshouses and factories in Shields were all paid their wages in full, the Bank of England having afforded the same ac commodation to parties in Shields and other places in the neighbourhood where the district bad branches, as at Newcastle. Several iron maeufacturers in Shields and neighbourhood paid off several of their hands last night. Messrs. Lambton and Co., of this town, will open a branch establishment in Sunderland forthwith. A num ber of shipwrights wer. paid off at Sunderland yesterday. It is stated to-night that Mr. Matthew R. Bigge and Mr. Johathan Richardson, two of the directors, have resigned, and that Mr. John Richardson and Mr. Priest mar, jun., since have taken their places. The states of Mecklenburg have, for the second time, rejected the proposition to establish civil equality be tween Jews and Christians.

"My dear Captain Hall,—Our prosperous and agree able voyage baying now terminated, I trust you will allow me not only to congratulate you upOn having, I r believe, made the quickest passage between England and Calcutta on record, but also to express to you, in the mane of the officers of my own reaiment and those cf the detachment of the 42d Highlanders, our sense of the liberal and courteous treatment that we have received while on board, and of the consi% dera,tion and good feeling evinced by yourself and alb youi officers in having studied in every possible - way the comfort and convenience of both officers and men, and I have to request that you will convey these sentiments. to Mr. Hurst and the rest of your - officers. „I can safely say, after a good deal of experience, that I have never yet sailed in a vessel in which troops were so well accommodated and cared for as they have been in this voyage. .

" My Dear Sir,—Allow me, in the name of my offi cers and self to thank you very sincerely for your courteous and handsome letter of congratulations to us on our safe and expeditious arrival at our destination. Be assured we fully reciprocate all your kind wishes, and we feel that very much of the comfort of the voyage to which you refer has resulted from the ex cellent discipline of the troops under ytur con► mand, and is also in great measure due to the ready compliance of yourself and officers with those sugges tions and regulations which we may have thought de sirable, and which are so necessary to the orderly con duct of a ship of this magnitude. The extraordinary healthiness of the troops is a subject on which we may offer you our sincere congratulations, nor do we doubt but that the same attention- to detail which effected the admirably conducted embarcation has by its continu ance, in matters of order and cleanliness contributed largely (in conjunction with the ability of the medical officers) to this satisfactory result. May the auspicious voyage be a favourable augury for your further career, arduous though it doubtless will be f We shall follow your movements with much interest, and, hoping that you will bestow an occasional thought on the Golden Fleece and her officers, we unite most cordially in a re luctant farewell and kindest wishes to you all.

J. D. Downing and the party of non-com missioned officers and men of the 38th Regiment who were stationed at Sheffield for the purpose of taking charge of the recruits raised in that town have rejoined their depot at Chatham garrison, as the recruits who are now being raised at Sheffield will be attached to the newly formed battalion of the 2d Queen's Royals. The following officers have joined the depot com panies of their respective regiments at Chathana previously to embarking for India—viz., Capt. H. W. P. Welman, 86th Regiment, for the purpose of assuming the command of his depot stationed at St. Mary's Barracks ; Ensign Webster, Bth Regi ment Ensign Ross, 24th Regiment ; and Ensign Cumberland, 75th Regiment. Considerable activity prevails in the shipbuilding department at Chatham Dockyard in consequence - of the Admiralty order for the completion with all pcPsible despatch of the vessels now in progress at that establishment. Tice-Admiral Sir M. F. F. Berkeley, on quitting the Admiralty, has bcstwed the promotion, as in the case of ate admiral hauling down his flag, on Commander Maxse, ser wing in the Ariel steam sloop at Gibraltar. Commander Charles Bromley has received the command of the Ariel, vice Maxse. The Admiralty having placed a commander's commission at the disposal of Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour for the reward of the lieutenant who hai most t;istinguished hitnseli in the lateops rations in the China river, Sir Michael has con ferred it on Lieut. R. V. Hawkins, in command of the gunboat Haughty. Sir Michael has appointed Lieut. M. C. Seymour, junior additional lieutenant of the Calcutta, to be his Flag Lieutenant. Dr. Robert Beith, RN., has been appointed an additional surgeon of the Royal Naval Hospital at Has'ar to assist the inspectors. Re joined last week. A detachment of Royal Marine Light Infantry, consisting of Lieut. Butcher, 2 sergeants, 2 corpo rals, 1 bugler, and 43 privates, proceeded front the divisional head-quarters at Gosport yesterday morn ing to Plymouth to join Her Majesty's chip Cambrian, jest commissioned at that port One sergeant, one corporal, and 20 gunners of the artillery companies proceeded, at the same time, from Portsmouth head-quarters for Chatham, -Li join the steam csrvette Racoon at that port. One corporal and 10 gunners are also ordered .to join Her Majesty's ship Curacoa at Portsmouth. The appointment of Barrackmaster of the Gos port division of Royal Marine Light Infantry is about to become vacant by the retirement of Major Moore. touching the epidemic which. wo reported on Thursday last as having necessitated the removal of a number of the Royal Marine light Infantry battalion quartered at Gosport to Woolwich and other quarters we have made further inquiries, and find the matter to be of some moment. The num ber of cases admitted into the wards of Halsar Hospital under the directions of Dr. .Nesbit, the Medical Inspector, led him to make Forne inquiry as to the cause, and to represent the necessity of certain sanitary measures, which the surgeon of the Royal Marine Division felt also to be desirable. The Adjutant• General of the Marine corps after wards arrived from town and instituted an inquiry into the state of the barracks at Forton. A repre sentation was then made to the Admiralty through Capt. Dacres, C. 8., and the result was an order to remove two companies to another locality, to im prove the ventilation, and to abut up a well which had been polluted by communication with a drain, and get the water supply from-another source—St. Ann's well, in contiguity with the barracks. The number of cases of fever was daily decreasing. During October the number sent to Hasler exceeded 100 ; during the present month about 30—of thee 4 have died, 3 within the last two days. As this epidemic has shown itself elsewhere (at Fort Cum berland) with much the same results, it would be difficult to attribute its appearance to any parti cular cause ; but in the present instance its effects have, no doubt, been aggravated by local causes, which have existed, more cr less, since the Forton Barracks have been occupied by the Royal Marines. The St. Vincent, 102, Capt. Eyres, C. 8., was paid wages on Saturday in Portsmouth harbour, and Rear-Admiral Martin mustered her crew. The Diadem, 32, Capt. Moorsom, C. 8., is ex pected to make another trial of her speed to-day at Portsmouth. _ _ The Rhadamanthus, steam transport, arrived at Portsmouth on Sunday afternoon from Plymouth with supernumeraries. By the death of Admiral of the Red Thomas Le Marchant Gosselin, the following promotions occur immediately all through the flag list, the gallant de ceased being the senior admiral of the navy, and probably the oldest man in it, having died at the great age of 93. Admiral of the White Sir G. Mundy, K.C.8., to be Admiral of the Red. Admiral of the Blue John Ayscough, to be Ad miral of the White. Vice-Admiral of the Red Wm. Bowles, C. 8., to be Admiral of the Blue. Vice-Admiral of the White Sir B. Reynolds, K.C. 8., Commander-in-Chief at Plymouth, to be Vice-Admiral of the Red. Vice-Admiral of the Blue Sir C.

The Leopold steam-ship, with Royal Artillery and other troops, which embarked early last week, had not left Spithead last evening. The detach ment of the 94th had been re-landed and sent to their depot by railway. • Captain the Hon. G. F.. Hastings, C. 8., arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday, and took up his com mission appointing him to the command of ker Ma jesty's steam two-decker, Blenheim, 60, mid the superintendence of the steam reserve at Portsmouth, yesterday. 'On Captain the Hon. F. J.

The latter gallant officer will take his seat at the Admiralty this day, we believe. Captain D'Eyncourt arrived at Port:mouth yes terday, and took up his commission appointing him to the command of the screw curvette Curagoa, 31, when the pennant was hoisted. The. following appointments were made at the Adthiralty yesterday :- Captain—T. H. Mapco, to the Curacoa. Commander—Thomas Lethbridge, to the Renown.

The tedious process of moving this gif.l.a . ntic struc- tare to the water was recorninenced a tTh - o'clock yes terday morning, and was continued with the ut mo-t success till a hitch occurred, and an annoying and irremediable accident to one of the hydraulic ma chines stopped further progress. This time the fact that the launch was taking place was of course very generally known, but the public appeared also to be aware that the whole process, after all, afforded nothing particularly well worth seeing to people who were outside the yard, and who could no more detect the motion of the vessel than they could discern the revolution of the earth. The number of spectators, therefore, who braved the sharp cold wind and raw air of the river for the poor gratification which the sight afforded was very small, and even with these half-an-hour's exposure and speculation as,to whether the vessel was moving at all or not seemed to satisfy the most ardent. The work commenced at a few minutes before 9 o'clock. There were then no men in the yard but Mr. Brunel and Capt. Harrison and their assiA ants, and, of course, also Mr. Yates, the Secretary, who siuce the vessel made her first slip seems never to have left the yard at all, but to have vedoubled, if possible, the vigilance and care with which lie has watched every step in her progresi for nearly _ the last four years. In the first effort to start Ii -r all the screw-jack,=, as well as the hydraulic ma chineg, were used, and, contrary to the expect t tions of many, who imagined that after remaining a whole night upon the ways it would be very (hill cult to stir her again, the great mass got into mo tion on the first pressure, and began to c:etp very slowly down the ways. HLr progre;s at first, was at the rate of an inch in about two minutes, but after a while it improved, and continued for some time at an inch per 40 seconds. As the vessel is now much advanced from the place at which the hydraulic rams aro fixed, each time the pistons aro driven out to their full pressure, con siderable delay is occasioned in again fitting in beams of sufficient length to reach the cradles and push ker on again In most cases the beams are not long enough till joined in one or more places, which again occasions loss of time, as in order to prevent their giving way laterally under the tre mendous pressure iron plates have to be bolted down to the ways over the joinings ' and in widi ion they have sometimes also to be loaded with iron ballast. All these expedients are absolutely necessary and essential to the safe progress of the ship ; thoug‘i, nevertheless, they tell much upon her rate of ad vance. When the 1 o'clock ball rang for dinner the total distance accomplished was 413 inches forward and 423 inches aft, showing that during yesterday morning's work the stern, instead of being 26 inches behind the bows was in advance of teem. During the whole morning the rate of advance was as re(zular and noiseless as on previous occasion; the only chance being that the metals, if anything, showed still less signs of friction, :It'd there wits :tn evident tendency of the vessel to move at a much slighter rate of pressure. The men returned from dinner and recommenced their work a little before 2 o'clock, but the hour's pause seemed tolhave exercised an adverse influence on the further progress of the ship. For along time it was very difficult to move her, though the screw jacks and hydraulic machines were pressed to their utmost, and the men at the double windlasses broke the great mooring chain which dragged her bows to the stream. . Suddenly; 'a the midst of all their efforts, the monster slipped- on the ways-5 inches forward and 9 inches aft. She slid this distance in the space of a single second, and with an awful rumbling kind of noise, which at once seemed dis tant and alarmingly near. This sudden motion and her tremendous vibration surprised and alarmed the me; who all dropped their tools and stood prepared to run at the first signal of danger. There was not, however, the least occasion for alarm, and the pressure was-again gra dually applied to the cradles on every part with redoubled vig ntr, but all in vain. The jerk and sudden stoppage evidently fixed her with unusual firmness, and no effort s could dislodge her, thought the pressure from the rams was applied with such force that a beam 17 inches square crumpled up like a reed and bounded into the air from a strain of about 800 tons. This wa4 soon replaced by another and a stronger beam, which was bound to the ways and loaded at the point with ballast. This held out with the others for a lung time, and the struggle between the pressure applied and the pas sive resistance of the great masses of timber at last became one of almost terrible interest. The beam strained, cracked, and vibrated, the escape valves of the rams - were loaded with weights and held violently down, the men could scarcely move the handles, but still the vessel did not yield. In the midst of these great united attempts a loud dull explosion, followed by a rattling sound, occurred, and in a minute after it was-known that one of the 10-inch hydraulic rams had burst its cylinder from top to bottom. The thickness of solid in.n which had thus given way under the pressure of a few quarts of cold water was 7 inches, and a corn pariton of the diameter of the piston with the force it was exerting on the area of timber showed that the cylinder had only yielded under the stu pendous pressure of some 12,0001 b. or 13,0001 b. to the square inch. Of course, no ill effects attended its bursting. This accident, which put an end to ail further efforts for the day, was much to be re gretted, as just before it took place it had been decided to continue work all night, so as to bring the Leviathan within good reach of this day's high water. About an hour before the accidi-mt oc• curred a message had b :en sent to Messrs. Easton and Amos for two more hydraulic machines, and one, if not both of these, will be fixed so as to enable work to be resumed at an early hour to-day. Trot man's anchors will also be sunk in the river, and the tackle which hauls the vessel in that direction made secure to those powerful holdfasts. Never yet since anchors were first made were any subjected to the tests which these must undergo, for it all goes well in the course of another day the Leviathan will be quite out of reach of the hydraulic machines, and must depend entirely on the strain from the river. It was stated in our account of yesterday that all the dockyard moorings which have been used in these great attempts have repeatedly given way, but this was an error. We are informed it was the old city moorings which have broken down and up so often. Out of all the chain cables sup plied by the dockyard only one has broken yet, and every aid which the Deptford authorities could offer Mr. Brunel has beeq.most cheerfully placed at that gentlenian's disposal. The high tide of last night would for the first ' time place about 12 inches of water'under -the keel of the Leviathan. If an average amount of success attend this day's efforts, the high water at two o'clock will place about six feet under her centre, and this, though, of course, insufficient to float her, will at least take about 5,000 tons off the dead weight on her ways, and so facilitate her progress that it is confidently hoped by Wednesday or Thursday at latest she will be brought all safe to her moorings in the Thames. SURFETORSHIP OF HER MAJESTY'S PIOTTIRES.—The Athenaeum of Saturday says :--" We - believe that' the Queen has appointed Mr. Redgrave, R.A., Surveyor of her Majesty's Pictures, in the place of the late Mr. twine. The duties are said, to be extended to a super tntendence over all works of art in the royal collection." • - - 2 o:Ci, vI 1.:11, tieP-cl2 br.)ught "On the morning on which the cityiand :were 'finally evacuated the whole of the available caValry.moved:Out through the submths ill the direc tion of, but not on the roa r} to, the Kootub, 'and marched to the tog of the - hill on which stands the thence overlooking the camp of the B .reilly - and Nnsseerabad mutineers, under 'Gene ral!

Hodson immediately got leave to report it to the general, galloping on his way tight along the front of the city to see if this was clearly also. He then obtained permission from the general to go to the rebel camp itself, to see how the land lay. "He started at once with his second in command, Macdowell,hni 75 Sowers, and rcde right round the city to the Delhi-gate ; having but few shots fired at them, and clearing the road of stray rebels as they went along, they found the camp all.but empty (they soon made it quite so), and the Delhi-gate open. They brought away three guns left by the enemy, and made arrangements for bringing in the empty tents, &c. They recovered the mess plate of the 65th Native Infantry, their standards, stripped however, and band instruments; polishing off the big drummer, who, with his myrmidons, gave some trouble. " Next day Hodson asked . and obtained permis sion to go after the King, whose capture, with - that of his favourite wife (mother of the heir apparent), he successfully accomplished at the cost only,of vast fatigue, some fighting, and imminent r;sk. His Majesty was courteously disarmed, and then . escoited into the city. "Early the following morning Hodson set 'to work to get the Princes, greater because more active than their-father. He started with Mac .(s, cond only to his cointeandieg_4!ffic,r in all soldierly qualities) and 100 men for the Tomb of the Emperor Humayoon, where the rascals were concealed. Ile took measures to cut off al access to or egress from the building, and then sent in one of the illegitimate scions of royalty (who had saved his own life only by turning King's evidence) and the one-eyed Moulvie, Rujub Ali (one of the lamented Sir Henry Lawrence's most trusted emis saries) to bring out the Princes. "After more than two hours of anxiety, strategy, and no sma 1 practice of the arts of offence and de fence, they appeared, and were immediately sent off in a bhylie,' under a small guard, towards the city. Hodson, then, with the remainder of his men, entered the enceinte of the tomb, and found than, fromand a c 5 3, 0 c o O n t g o r e 6 g , a o t o e o d o t f h e t r l e te , s c e e u rt m ai n o ly f Lot the l e e i s t s y armed wilt weapons of all descriptions. It was in deed an hour of trial ; whea a bold front and a determined voice was of more avail then even a sharp sword. Wonderful to say, not a man of the gallant little band was hit, and on Hodson sternly reiterating his demand for instant surrender they began to lay down their arms. 500 swords, and twice tint number of firearms, besides horses, ele phants, &c., were., collected in less thin an hour and-a-half, without another blow being struck. Hodson and his men then moved warily off to the city. At a short distiteco from the walls they found the bhylie' was halted with much rabble collected around, who turned on the little party as they role up. This was no time for hesita tion or delay. Hodson dashed at once into the midst—in few but energetic words explained ' that these were the men who had not only rebelled against the Government, but had ordered and wit nessed the massacre and shameful exposure of in nocent women and children ; and that thus there fore the Government punished such traitors, taken in open resistance,'—shooting, them down at the word. The effect was instantaneous and wonder ful ! Not another hand was raised, not another weapon levelled, and the Mahomedana of the troop and some influential Moulvies among the by standers exclaimed, as if by simultaneous impulse, ' Well, and rightly done ! Their crime has met with its just penalty. Th ese were t h ey w h o gave the signal for the death of helpless women and children and outraged decency by the expcsure of their persons, and now a righteous judgment has fallen on them. God is great !' The remaining weapons were then laid down, and the crowd slowly and quietly dispersed. The bodies were then car ried into the city and thrown out on the very spot where the blood of their innocent victims still stained the earth. They remained there till the 24th, when, for sanitary reasons, they were re moved from the Ohibootra in front of the Kotwal lee. The effect of this just retribution is as mira culous on the populace as it was deserved by the crini i nal 4. " The popular wish now is, that HOdson, the avenger of blood,' should be sent with a strong force at his back to find and execute the like justice on the arch-villain Nana Sahib. May they both receive the reward of their deeds I" LATEST FROM DELEU. PALACE, DELHI, Oct. 15. I wrote to you from Meerut on the 28th ult., en closing a list of casualties and giving a few smal scraps of information—perhaps a little more may not prove altogether unacceptable. The ex-Ki,ig, wl:o is living in a snail house within the Pala:e walls, is to be brought to trial in a few days for aiding and abetting the mutineers. Living with him is his favourite wife, Zeeuut Mahal, and her son Jumma Bukbt, a lad of about 17 or 18 years old. Two of the King's sons, the Princes Mirza, Buektawur Shah and Mirza Mendhoo, were tried last week for aiding and abetting the muti nee's. 0113 of them was appointed colonel of the 11th Native Infantry, and the other of the 74th ; they were tried by- a military commission of five officers, with Brigadier-General Chamberlain as President. Evideoco was produced before the Court, principally documentary, consisting of re ports, returns, &e., bearing the prisoners' seals. showing that they exercised command of their regi ments and acted. In their defence they pleaded total ignorance of ties intention of the Sepoys to mutiny, and sail that when the Meerut mutineers first reached IMIn on the 11th of May they (the Princes) thought it was a Russian invading army !, They were then summoned to an audience by the King, and a few days after were appointed colonels of regiments at the iequcst of the Sepoys them selves. The Court, however, found the prisoners guilty, and sentenced them to death ; aud, accordingly, yes'erday, they were shot, by a party of the 60th Rifles. Detachments of Rifles, Artillery, Sappers, and Goorkhas were present, and n great number of spectators. The bodies were cast into the Jumna River. The city continues empty of all its former inhabi tants, though many are attempting to negotiate with the prize agents for the ransom of their houses and property. It is supposed a large amount of prize money will be collected. Nothing as yet is known as to whether this place is to be retained as a garrison or not. The country is about settling down and the people becoming wonderfully civil. A. force is out, under Brigadier Showers, "punish ing rebels and bringing them to a sense of their duty and allegiance. I mentioned in my last that two Engineer officers were to receive the " Victoria Cross." I regret to say Lieutenant Salkeld has died of his wounds ; the other, Lieutenant Home, was unfortunately killed by an explosion when destroying a fort near Bolundshuhur. They are deeply lamented. At Meerut all is quiet.- Hero the sick and wounded are improving, as the _cold weather is setting in. The 1 7 ienna Gazette says :—" Count Valentin Esterhazy, the Austrian ambassador to St. Peters.. burg, woo has been on leave of absence .for six months, has just returned to the capital.
