As we yesterday explained to our readers, the good appears to predominate over the bad in the telegraphic accounts already received from India. This was the view taken on the Stock Exchange, and although on, the first spreading of the ru- rnours—which, with strange consistency, were cir culated previously to the receipt of despatches by the Government or the East India Company, to the effect that Delhi had not fallen, that the mutiny had spread to seven or eight other quar ters, and that there was great pressure in the Cal cutta Money Market—a fall of about per cent, in Consols had been established, it was fully recovered in the course of yesterday. There is no reason why this should not bo so, for although the great point, the fall of Delhi, was completely disproved, it was shown, beyond the possibility of doubt, that the mutineers had not been able, on a single occasion, to cope with the comparatively small force brought against them, and that whenever General BARNARD had received the augmentation of power which was daily flocking to his standard, the tenure of the Rebel stronghold would be of a very brief and fragile character. We may now look for more complete tidings. As we stated in ourimpression of yesterday, the Pen insular and Oriental Company's steamship Valetta had arrived at Marseilles with the India and Chinese Mails at 8.30 p.m. on Wednesday evening, and were transmitted for Loudon at 10 p.m., the delay being only an hour and a half. These will, of course, contain more complete and satisfactory tidings, but although we may hear of very de- plorable details, there can be nothing to alter the - general aspect of affairs or to cause any additional political excitement. Those who have relatives and friends at the scene of strife will, of course, await with intense anxiety the letters, which will announce the safety or loss of those near and dear to their hearts, but there will be little to show whether the prospects of speedily suppres sing the mutiny and consolidating the British power on a more substantial basis than ever, are improved or deteriorated. We already know all that can be anticipated before the prorogation of Parliament. It is essen tial then, that the Government should act on that information to the best and utmost of its power, So as to leave nothing to chance. Lord PAL MERSTON should be utrumque paratus—ready for any alternative that may arise. We firmly be lieve that we have already seen the worst phase of the deplorable transaction ; but ample powers should be taken so as to avoid the necessity of convening Parliament at a brief notice, or, what would still be less satisfactory, of acting on their own responsibility until the commencement of next se m i, n, and then ask ing for a bill of indemnity. It may b e true that " the present financial means of the East India Company are ample," and that they have abundant power of meeting any claims likely to be made en the Indian Exchequer. But, still, Imperial ass i st.. ance may be required, and Government sh ould have full authority to confer that assistanc e it demanded at their hands. It by no means fol lows that they should avail themselves of any vote of credit that may be carried unless an im perative necessity arises for so doing. Sir G. C. Lewis anticipated that the British Exchequer would rather gain than lose by the transaction, as the support of 30,000 men would be transferred to that of the East India Company. But those men must be replaced for our home defences ; and we may venture to remind the Right Hon. Gentle man that the Militia, when emb o di ed, cost just as ranch as the regular troops of the line. Some- H E TAN, LONDON, FR IDAY EVE NINO- AUG usr 14, 1857 thing more would be required than 200,0001. for a period of seven months and a half, up to the 25th March next. Besides, pending the changes that must take place in India, further precautions must be taken. Although 30,000 men may be despatched before the termination of the present month, nearly as many more will be required before the pacifi cation of Hindustan, to say nothing of its re-conquest, can be accomplished. We must remember that the Bengal army has virtually ceased to exist, and that the utmost caution must be exercised before an adequate substitute can be provided. The Brahmin can no longer be trusted ; fcenton habet in cornu. He is essentially dan gerous, and at present nothing but Europeans can be trusted in his place. The castes from which the Bombay and Madras armies have been re cruited have exhibited greater fidelity, have shown themselves more "faithful to their salt," but still a large admixture of the European element must be maintained if we would rest secure and tran quil in our Eastern territory. Since the above was written the Mail has already come to hand, and very considerable ex tracts will be found in another part of our impression. To these we refer our readers, and they will confirm the accuracy of the statements above expressed. The reason why the East India Company repudiates assistance may easily be con ceived. It is clearly perceived that such a de mand would be fatal to its existence, and that India must thenceforward be placed under the direct supremacy of the Crown, and the hybrid authority discontinued, at once and for ever. Sooner or later England will have to assume Indian respon sibilities, and every unnecessary expense in the shape of exorbitant rates of interest, Str., will eventually fall on the National Exchequer. Care should therefore be taken to prevent the contracting of any loan at 6 per cent. interest, which, with a a ttion al guarantee could be obtained at 3-i. We must look to the protection and security of India in the first instance, but so far as is consistent therewith we must look to our pockets. The charges thereon are sufficiently onerous, without. unnecessarily increasing them for the gratification of the Magnates of Leadenhall-street. What a pity Mr. GLADSTONE did not devote himself to the Bar. Of course any man who shared largely in the gift of twenty millions to West India planters (whose loss by negro eman cipation itself did not equal a twentieth part of that sum) could not need to practise for pay ; but what a glorious fellow he would have made to bewilder a jury ; to carry off his clients, as HOMER'S gods and goddesses did their heroes, in a fog; or to shift in argument, for black or whits, as suit©d his object. We believe that many mem bers thought him thoroughly in earnest in the long, impassioned, and eloquent, though thoroughly sophistical speech which he delivered against the second reading of the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill. We heard of one member (for the credit of his judgment we conceal his name) whose vote was gaiued by that speech, though followed by the manly, practical, and sensible one of Mr. WALPOLE. Luckily the majority could enjoy the exhibition, but retain their cool common sense when it came to plain business. They did not mistake fireworks for cannon. If, however, any were deceived then, they have been undeceived since. Mr. GLADSTONE, folloNied by his clique, have shown themselves to be the most unscrupulous partisans. He, as a known Ro • manizer, or Ecclesiastical Mystic, or one at least of the Ciiiirch-and-PrieA party, is strongly in favour of the absolute indissolubility of marriage. This was the acknowledged ground of his opposi tion to the bill ; though it would not alter the existing practice in regard to divorce and the re marriage of the divorced, it would give to that practice the sanction of a direct law, and of a Court for the object, instead of requiring each case to form the subject of a separate act—in other words, of a special law. It madenodifference that the practice is so settled that it has the full force of law—Romanizers in the Church of Eng land abhor everything which makes the diverg ence of the Church from their dear old mother more apparent ; they fought hard, there fore, " that definite permanent law should not glaringly defy the decrees of the Holy Fathers of Trent. The second reading decided, how ever, that the English Church cared not a straw for the matrimonial decrees of the said bachelors of Trent, on matters about which they ought to have known but little. But there was another ground on which Mr. GLADSTONE and all his junior counsel for " Angli canism" opposed the bill. It would open, they said, what was now the peculiar privilege of the aristocracy, to the middle classes. Divorce would descend to a lower stratum of society. At pre sent a wealthy man only can pay for the honour, or dishonour, of legal effectual separation from a partner who has already been guilty of moral separation. The middle classes enjoy the edify ing spectacle of three rehearsals of all the parts of a trim. con, case before three tribunals, but they are not permitted to imitate their betters in a . single performance. Non cuivis homini contingit adire Corinthum, might be most appropriately said of the luxury of the class of actions we refer to ; and Mr. GLADSTONE stoutly insisted that the cost of these actions ought not to be lowered, He thought it better that his Corinth should re main inaccessible to as many as possible. What, then, shall we say to.the special pleading, or rather to the unblushing factiousness of a man, who, beaten on his grand point--who, when the house had decided that marriage should be legally dissoluble, and that divorce should be within the competency of the middle classes, immediately turns round and would force on the - Government the extension yet further of the possibility of divorce! First he carrits against the Government a propospl for local courts to take home divorce to every man's door ; next he argues for the equal rights of the woman to put away her husband, as in Scotland. Now, both these proposal.s are in themselves good, but what shall we think of a leading statesman, who first opposes legalization of the dissolubility of marriage ; then the extension of the area over which divorce should be practicable; but, who, when beaten by the Government, by common sense, and Protestantism on those points, straitway demands that marriage shall be dissolved equally on the application of either SEX, thus doubling, at a stroke, the numbers of those who may seek divorce ; and also, that courts shall be establish e d for the effecting of divorces, in so many places, that the poor, as well as the rich, shall bo able to meet the expense ! The clever debater may subtiliz) and refine as he will, the public will think that he has de scended to the lowest arts of faction. We are sorry to see Mr. HENLEY, and other respectable men, following at all in his wake. Their conduct is utterly unworthy of anything but the sophist and the o t r the unprincipled partizan. Perhaps they hope o the Bill for the i e o v s r e e d a s s get clauses introduced which the Lord Chancel lor will blac r k ° b re u j t ect e , vei t u!.. t4 ;,! •:4, r , 3t jeg ric t l , of if they deem it voting a thing We only good,. cannbti , x_c74‘tir t heir night, and whi.tii few I m ni a g y ht b s o af e t g e u r. ally brought home to all classes, and y wish that matrimonial law that woman, in re gar d . to marriage, may b e i n English law, as she u nquestionably is in .

Let'' Reforms be undo by those Who have truth in Them. LATEST NEWS'. THE OVERLAND MAIL. THE INDIAN MUTINIES. We (Daily _News) have received our advices from India and China, in anticipation of the Over land Mail, a telegraphic summary of which appeared in yesterday's impression. The dates are :—Bom bay, July 14 ; Calcutta, July 5 ; Hong Kong, June 24. The following is the summary of the Bombay Times of July 14 : In the last fortnight we have probably passed "the flood' of the insurrection, and may now hope that our future advices will be chiefly occupied with a recital of the subsidence of this great rebellion, and the restoration of order in the disturbed pro vinces. The truth is there are no more regiments to mutiny, unless they are to be those of Bombay and Madras, concerning the fidelity of which there is not the slightest ground of suspicion. Delhi had not fallen up to the 27th June, the date of our latest advices, via Lahore. There has been a good deal of fighting outside the walls, the rebels being defeated on every occasion with great slaughter, and it is matter of much congratulation that the apparent hopelessness of their cause has effectually checked the disposition of the mutineers at other stations to proceed to their assistance. The only attempt which has been made to reinforce them, seems to have been on the part of the Nusseerabad mutineers, who were cut up dreadfully on the oc casion by General Barnard's force. Whether any of them got inside the walls or not we cannot say. During the fortnight just elapsed we have re ceived intelligence of the mutiny of the troops at Moradabad, Fyzabad, Seetapoore, Saugor, Now gong, Banda, Futteghur, Miaow, and Indore ; and we proceed briefly to relate the particulars of each in so far as they are known to us. It is now evident that an arrangement existed between the troops at Bareilly, Shahjeh3npore, Lucknow, and Moradabad to effect a simultaneous rising. A glance at the map will show the proxi mity of these stations to each other, and the out break occurred at each on the morning of the same day. The mutiny at Bareilly, which we reported in a few words in our last issue, seems to have been at tended with circumstances of peculiar atrocity and treachery. Only the day before their outbreak, the sepoys appealed to their officers to recal their wives and families from the Hills, where they had been sent for safety, and. even to the last moment these miscreants swore to protect their officers to the death. The regiments rose en masse on Sunday morning, the Ist of June, a shotted gun being fired as the signal about 11 o'clock. The men at once rushed upon the officers' lines, and opened a fusilade upon the bungalows. Such officers as were able immediately got on their horses, and made fir the rendezvous previously agreed upon amongst them, the cavalry parade ground. An ineffectual effort was male to bring back the troops to their allegiance, but the scoundrels opened upon them with grape shot, and they had to ride for their lives. The country having risen in all directions, it was with extreme difficulty, and only by a ride of 70 miles, that the little band at last found safety at Nynee Tal in the hills, where they had previously sent their families. Hera the refugees are con gregated in numbers whic'a will probably awe any attempt to attack them, and as the place is of very difficult approach, we may hope they are in safety. At Moradabad the desire of plunder seems to have prevailed over the murderous propensities of these, miscreants, and they . gave their officers two hours' grace to mike their escape, in which they fortu nately succeeded ; the whole of the officers (29th Regiment) and the residents, with their families, escaping to Nynee Tal the day after the arrival of the Bareilly refugees. We stated in our last ad vces that great fear was entertained that the whole of the station of Shabjehanpore had been mass acred. We are happy, however, to learn that a good many have escaped, but we are unable as yet to give the particulars. Our columns will be found to contain elsewhere a list of the refugees that were at Nynee Tal on the 12th ult., and there are probably many concealed in the plain, waiting an opportunity to join them. The rising at Fyzabad occurred on the night of Sunday, the Bth ult., the 6th Regiment Oude Irre gular Infantry giving the signal, which was imme diately answered by the 22d Regiment Native Infantry. They at once took possession of the bat tery, and would not allow the officers to approach, but do not seem to have offered tnem any further violence. Fyzabad is in the very heart of Oude, and is situate upon a branch of the Ganges. The officers determined to escape by boat, and were allowed quietly to embark. What followed is thus related by one of the party : " I remember the officers in the two boats ; I accompanied Lieut. Bright, 22d Native Infantry ; Lieut. Parsons, 6th Oude Irregulars, Lieut. Cant ley, 22d Native Infantry ; Sergeant Busher, Ser geant. Major Quartermaster-Serjeant, 27th Native Infantry, and my: elf, were in one boat. Colonel Goldney, Lieutenant Currie, Artillery ; Lieut. Ritchie, 2.2a1 Native Infantry ; Sergeant Edwards, and Sergeant-Major Matthews, in the second boat ; three other boats followed behind ; we waieed two hours for them, bat as they did not come, we pushed off. As we were getting into the boat we saw the Sepoys of the 22d rushing towards the Treasury ; there were about tw o l a kl ia and 40,000 rupees in Captain Drummond's house (where the treasure had been placed). Ou reaching a place called Begumgunge, about ten miles below Fyzabad, we met some mutineers encamped ;at half-past one, these men fired on us ; there were 800 or 900 of them ; about 100 men fired on us when we were 600 yards off ; Col. Goldney advised our pushing off to the opposite bank of the Gogra; we got on an island among some jhow fields. The mutineers got into diughees and followed us ; we made for the mum boat from the island ; there were about 40 or 50 yards ot water between us. Major Miffs was drowned. The sergeant-major, Lieut. Bright, and I were taken prisoners, and taken to the camp of the mutineers, who were men of the 17th and 37th Native Infantry and the 17th Irregular Cavalry. We were taken before the Soo bedar commanding the rebels. Ido not know his name ; he was a Hindoo, and belonged to the 17th Native Infantry. He was an old man, slightly made, about 5 feet 8 inches high, with grey hair, no hair on his face, and dark complexion. He asked us who we were ; we replied. He then appealed to the Mussulmans on the Koran, and to the Hindoo; on the cow, not to injure us, and toll us to go away. The men of the 17th then stepped out and shot the sergeant-major and Lieut. Bright. I was rescued by an artilleryman and hidden in a serai at Begumgunge and sent off in disguise. While we were talking to the Soobedar, some 15 or 16 ot the Irregular Cavalry and 10 or 12 sepoys, went af.er the remainder of our party. We heard firing across the river ; the party returned, and reported they lead killed Colonel Goldney, and six other officers, and that three had escaped. On arriving at Tauda, on the 10th inst.,,l heard people iu the serai saying that six or seven officers hadbeen and two or three were sheltered by some zemiudar in Goruckpore district. After this, I came via Mattoopoor, Shahgunge and Juanpore. Captain Rec.], Deputy Commissary ; Capt. A. Y. Orr, As sistant Commissary ; Mr. E. 0. Bradford, ditt o , and Capt. Thuruburn reached Rajah Mann Sing's house, and he promised shelter and protection. When I was at Mattoopoor, I heard that the above officers were going down in boats, with their fa milies, escorted by some of the Rajah's guard. At T'tnda I heard that a Mr. Fitzgerald, clerk in the deputy Commissioner's office, and overseer sergeant Hurst, who were escorting the families of some sergeants to Allahabat via Sultanpore, were killed and the women and children also murdered ; I don't know what has become of the officers who were in the boats behinds us when we left Fyza bad." We have reason to believe, however, that a con siderable number of the officers have effected their escape from this station, and whatever may have taken place after leaving it, the conduct of the sepoys at the time seems to have been characterised by the strangest moderation. We cannot resist the temptation of quoting from a letter on the subject: " The account of tho mutiny of the 22d Regi ment beats any romance ; they guarded their offi cers and their bungalows after mutinying, placed sentries over magazines and all public property, sent out pickets to prevent the towns-people and servants from looting, held a council of war, in which the cava l ry (F i sher ' s Irregular) proposed to 141 the o_M;er3, but the 22d objected, and iuforme d the officers that they would be allowed to leave, and might take with them their private arms and pro perty, but no public property, as that all belonged to the King of Oucle. Their officers asked for boats; the rebel commissary-general, a Resaldar, was or dered to provide them ; he did so, but merely small diugies, so that they could only bring away a bundle each, and then they were presented with 900 rs. which the rebels had taken &am the treasure chest to give them. When the officers tried to meal them to their duty, they respectfully assured them that they were now under the orders of ther na tive officers, and the Subadar-Major of the 22d Re giment had been appointed to the command of the sta•ion, and that each corps had appointed one of their officers to be their chief." We are as yet without particulars of the mutiny at Saugor, the news of which reached us on the Bth instant from our correspondent at Kamptee, who was able, however, to inform us that no atrocities had as yet been committed, all the officers and families, with the European Artillery, having taken refuge inthe Fort. Saugor is the chief station in the districts known as the Saugor and Nerbudda territories, and must have a considerable European population in the shape of writers, conductors, and others, con terning whose safety, after what has transpired at Jhansi, in these same territories, much uneasiness must be felt. It is to be hoped that these men and their families have found refuge in the fort also. Concerning the mutiny at Nowgong, we simply know the fact that the head-quarters of the 12th Native Infantry and of the 14th Irregular Cavalry stationed there, have followed the example of the left wing of each corps which was stationed at Jhansi, but that the officers aro safe. The news of the Jhansi mutiny we communicated by last mail, with an account of the bloody tragedy enacted on that occasion in the massacre of all the Europeans in the place. We now learn that beside Mrs. Skene and family, Mrs. Browne, Miss Browne, and Miss Davidson have been killed. Altogether twelve of our countrymen and women were slaugh tered in this small station. The only persons known to have escaped are two Custom's officers, who have reach Agra. The only particulars we have of the mutiny at Banda are contained in a letter from Nagode, dated 19th June, of which the following is a❑ excerpt : L "We have escaped from Banda to Nagoclo, and through God's mercy have been miraculously pre served.—On Sunday, the 14th, the Npivab's troops mutinied as well as the N. l's. ; the Mahomedans plantt..d their flag and wanted to kill us, but the Nawab stood by us, and we got into the buggies and on horses and got off. The place was in a fearful blaze before we had gone a mile ; it was a fearful scene. We start again to-night for Mirza pore, and hope to reach it safely, but this district is very much disturbed. We have in our party Mr. and Mrs. Edmonstone, Mr. and Mrs. Webster, Messrs. Mayne, Sherer, Clark, Baws, Cousins, Hatchinson, Oswin, and Glynn. We - are staying. with Major and Mrs. Ellis at Nagode ; their kind ness is extreme, and we have rested two days." Of the whole country of Rohilcund, Futtehghur (Furruckabad) was the last station to rise. The 10th Regiment has unquestionably given in, simply to the force of the dangerous example all around it. The sepoys of this corps continued for weeks to guard the treasury and maintain discipline, while every station near them was in open mutiny. They do not appear to have offered any violence what ever to their superior officers, but a most melan choly rumour prevailed in Allahabad on the 23d instant as to the fate of the unhappy fugitives after they left the place. We take it from the English men of the 29th ultimo : "Did the report of the massacre reach you of the Futtyghur fugitives ? It passed in atrocity all that has hitherto been perpetrated. 132 Euro peans, men, wome n, and children, in 50 boats, left Fettyghur for this place. They were all the nom-military residents of the place. On arrival at Bhitaor the Nana Sahib tired on them with the artillery the government allowed him to keep ; one round shot struck poor Mrs. --, and killed her on the spot. The boats were then hoarded and the inmates landed and dragged to the parade ground at Cawnpore, where they were first fired at, then literally hacked to pieces with Tulwers. Report says not one esca ped." Bhitoor is a little place a few miles to the north of Cawnpore, and we sadly presage a confirmation of this intelligence, in view of the state of matters in that neighbourhood. A bloody reckoning will surely be exacted of those fiends in human shape. At Mhovs , the 22d Bengal Native Infantry have mutinied. The number of Europeans slain is at present unknown, 'but it is said to be four. The officers are holding a fortified square iu the place, where the ladies and all the other Europeans have taken refuge. If the 3rd Nizarn's Cavalry prove staunch they will soon be relieved, as Captain Orr was within fifty miles of Mhow some clays ago. We know little of the state of matters at Indore, beyond the fact that the two regiments of the Ma harajah Holkar have openly mutinied, and pro ceeded with the Bengal regiments towards Oojein, on their way, as is supposed, to Delhi. The Malta rajah seems to be in no way implicated in this business, but to have acted with the same good faith that has characterised the conduct of the Gwalior Prince. . _ We have new again arr:ved at the close of a long and tragic story. We can of course understand well the intense excitement this intelligence will produce at home, and we pass on without comment to notice the state of matters before Delhi, and the progress of the siege. The force at Gen. Barnard's disposal has doubt less been inadequate for the reduction of the place, but as important reinforcements must have joined his camp long ere this, we entertain a confident hope that our next advice 3 will an nounce the fall of the place. Meantime the force has not been idle. Animated by the courage of de spair, the mutineers have made the most despera,to sorties, but ever with the same result. They have been driven back into the city with terrible loss on every occasion, to find eventually as we trust tL&r tomb within its walls. Our columns contain ample details of these several actions, and to attempt to summarise them here would swell our epitome to an inconvenient length. General Van Cortlandt who is marching upon Jhansi and Hissar with the Buttiannah irregular Force, has had two engagements with the rebels in the neighbourhood of Sirz a, defeating them in each instance with severe loss. The last action was a, very decided one, and the rebels fled in disorder, leaving 200 men dead upon the field, besides many prisoners in our hands. The troops of the Bikauir Rajah, 2,700 men of all arms, have joined Gem Cortlandt's force, though what reliaace can be plaoed on these men remains to be seen. Major-Gen. Nicholson's moveable column was at Jullundur at the date of our last advices, via Lahore: The whole Punjab renaine quiet, thanks to the energetic conduct of the commissioner and the men in command, Msny of the disarmed native regi ments have begged the restitution of the;r weapons, and to be lad against D lhi, but it would be mad ness, after what has transpired, to listen to such. prayers. The men may be loyal in their present mood, but in the presence of an example such as that offered now at Delhi, would yield to the dan-: gerous influence to a certainty. To overawe the Mewar territory, and keep the Gwalior contingent ire check, a considerable force is on the march from Deem, and must now be in advance of Nusseerabad. It consists as follows :- 3 Horse Artillery Guns (Europeans), 500 men H.M. 83d Regt. Foot, 400 men 12th R 3 gt. Born bay NJ o s ~ twquadrons 24 Bombay L.C. To quell the mutiny which is now general along the valley of the Nerbudd, from Mhow to Bundel kund, a light field brigade Las been ordered to assemble immediately at Malligaum, under the command of Col. C. H. Somerset, and the troops are already on their march thither. This force will be composed as follows :—Half Troop Horse Artil lery (Europeans), a squadron H.M. 14th Ught Dra goons, a wing H.M. 86th Regt. Foot , s th Regt. Bombay Native Infantry, 3d Regt. Nizam's Ca valry, a detachment of - the Poona Horse, and a detachment of Sippers and Miners. General Woodburn's movable column, originally ordered to Mhow, stands fast at Aurungabal, and this arrangement is doubtless a judicious one, in view of the unsettled state of the Nagpore territo ries, and the doubtful temper of the NizAlli troops. We regret to learn that the General has bean com pelled to resign the command through severe sick ness. Colonel C. S. Stuart is appointed to succeed him. This forco is composed as follows :—Two squadrons H. M.'s 14th Light Dragoons, a battery European Horse Artillery, 25th Regiment Bombay N. 1., 24th ditto ditto (one wing), the Light Infan try battalion (Persia.) General Woodburn's column has already crushed the rebellion at Aurungabad, where our readers may remember the Ist Regt. Nizam's Cavalry mu tinied, and the presence of the force at that sta tion will doubtless overawe effectually any open disaffection in that quarter for the future, CALCUTTA. ( _From the Calcutta Englishman of July 4.) The last fortnight has been sufficiently eventful, and we regret to say that it has abounded with mutiny and. assassination. At present we cannot give even a probable guess at the numbero of (IR slaughtered countrymen and countrywomen, for many supposed to have been murdered have escaped, and others rep , -rted safe, have un doubtedly perished. Station after station where the native soldiers were not restrained by the presence of the British troops, has been the scene of plunder, incendiarism, and assassination. The honourable and true-hearted soldiers of the native army have vowed obedience one hour, and the next have mas sacred their own officers at their rnes table. In the 6th Native Infantry an intimacy of 20 years did not protect the officers from their murderous followers. While one regards such treachery, such blood-thirsty and unprovoked cruelty with horror, it is consola tory to find the spirit of British soldiers great as ever, rising triumphant amidst the difficulties by which they are surrounded, regardless of the num bers to which they are opposed, and though a mere handful, always beating the assassins who dared to face them. This spirit is a sure guarantee for the complete reestablishment of British supremacy throughout the land. Yet the encouragement of thanks, wasted upon the disloyal Sepoy, has not yet been vouchsafed to these warriors, who have so nobly sustained the fame of their country. Our communication with the Upper Provinces is so completely cut off, the country is so infested with bands of marauders and brigand, that we get no regular news beyond Allahabad, nor shall we till Cawupore is relieved, and the road to Arra re opened. A little light is, however beginning to penetrate the darkness. The native bankers are known to receive early and accurate intelligence, and for the last few days their operations have in dicated confidence in the restoration of order. They have sent about ten lakhs in money and some goods also up the river by a steamer, and have been readily purchasing government secnrities. The government has commenced a prosecution againt a wretched little Bengallee paper. The pro prietor has been held to hail in twenty thousand rupees, and is terribly frightened, declaring that he knew nothing of the acts of the editor. Lord Canning has done a little bit in the Louis Napoleon style ; he has given a warning to the Friend of India, that his license will be taken away if he again transgresses the narrow limits as signed him. We wish his lordship had the courage to take another leaf out of the French Emperor's book by marching out the traitors, of whom he has a list, and shooting them on the misdaun. One such example would be worth a hundred lectures to the press. MADRAS. (From the Madras .A thenceam of July 11.) On Saturday evening the 27th tilt —the day be fore the steamer left Madras was thrown into a panic by the arrival in great haste, from the Mount of a company of Horse Artillery and six gulls. Many gentlemen and ladies drove into the fort, several made for the Mount, and hun dreds of the inhabitants rushed to the arsenal. It was said that the Commissioner of Police had re ceived intimation of an intended rising among the Mahomedans of Triplicane, but as nothing of an offi cial nature has been said about the mal ter people are still in the dark. The Horse Artillery has been picketed before Government House since the 27th ult., arms have been sent to the Club, troops are stationed at other pasts, and places of rendezvous have been appointed ; but as very little, if any publicity, has been given to the last-mentioned fact —from a mistaken idea that by so doing alarm would be excited—the advantages of such a mea sure will, in case there should be any necessity for using them, be confined to a few. But notwith standing all these preparations there is every rea son to believe that we are perfectly safe in Madras, and they are or should only he made on the same principle that prompts a careful man not to be un prepared for any nossi'ole contingency, however re mote it may be. On the 9th instant the Volunteer Cavalry and militia assembled on the island for the first time at a little gun fire. The scene that was presented was a very lively one ; horsemen galloping licire and there, and bodies of militia-men marching about in various directions. Large num bers of the fair sex assembled to witness the opura tions which were, however, not of a very interest ing nature, consisting as they merely did, of the distribution of arms and the arrangement of the volunteers into their respective divisions. The natives of all creeds and castes held a public meet ing the other day, at which they expressed their detestation of the fearful crimes that had been com mitted in the north. west, assured Government of their loyalty, and adopted an address to that effect. The address is now being signed by the native com munity, and therefore has not been presented to the governor. below will shortly join the force at Delhi, or may already have joined it. Noparticalar intelligence has been received from other quarters. But all appears to be progressing satisfac orily with the Bhutteaua force and elsewhere. (Signed) R.

Brigadier-General Chamberlain, actingadjutant general of the army, had left Kurnaul, and will have reached army headquarters ere this. Further portions of the reinforcements for the army passed through Urn halla, and are pushing on. The Kumaon battalion from Rawul Pindee may be expected at Lahore early next month (about the 4th Ed. L. C.) on its way down country. Further detachments of Europea❑ troops have reached Mooltan by steamer. The moveable column under Brigadier-Gen. Nicholson is still at Jullunder ; Gen. Van Cortlandt's force of Irregulars bad beer. joined at Sirsa by 500 Bikaneer Horse. Plundered pro perty was being brought in, and the country restored to order.—Lahore, June 24. DELHI. As some uncertainty seems to exist as to the real strength of General Barnard's force before Delhi, we may as well state that it is composed as follows : EUROPEANS (About 8,000 Men of all Arms). Her MajeAy's 6th Carabineers. Her Majesty's 9th Lancers. Her Majesty's Bth Regiment of Foot. Her Majesty's 61st Regiment of Foot (one wing). Her Majesty's 60th 114les. Her Majesty's 75th Foot. Hon. East India Ownpany's let Bengal Fuailiers. Hon. East India Company's 2d ditto (6 companies). Five Troops Horso Artillery (about 600 men)-20 pounder 4, 4 9-pounders, 2 18-pounders, 5 howitzers. (Artillery Recruits 120 men). The sieee train from the Sul; NATIVES (about 5,000 Alen of all Arms). One squadron 4th Regitnent Light Cavalry. Two Light Field Batteries, each five 9-pounders, one 21-ditto; A detachment of Sappers and Miners. The Sirmoor Rifle Battalion-700 strong. The Punjab Guides-250 sabres, 500 bayonets. 1,000 men Punjab Infantry Irregulars. 1,200 sabres Punjab Cavalry Irregulars. The Rajah of Jheend's Force (strength unknown). There cannot be fewer than 7,000 Europeans now before the place, if indeed they are not already in side. The native portion of this force has proved itself trustworthy ; and, considering the powerful artllery now at General Barnard's command, and the strength of his cavalry arm (3,500 sabres), we shall have room to express the deepest dissatisfricien if the blow which is hero struck be not final so far as the mutineers of Meerut, Delhi, and Nusseera bad are c3ncerned. The miscreants are fairly caged, and will find their grave in the spot they have pol luted by their bloody and atrocious crimes. OFFICIAL NEWS. LAUORE, Juno 20. On the 18th the general ordered an attack on the mutineers, who had taken up a position outside the town with guns, with the intention of raking our posts. Major Turner, Horse Artillery, commanded one party, and Major Reid, Sirmoor Battalion, the other. The enemy was driven into Delhi with great loss. We captured one gun, and our loss was trifling. A man of the 60;1 Rifles shot a Sspoy, and found on him 84 gold mohurs. A strong moveable column is being formed at Mhow of troops belonging to the Bombay presidency. (Signed) R. MONTGOMERY, Judicial Commissioner. Judicial Commissioner's Office, June 21. The latest news from Delhi is that all was quiet there. A portion of the force from Nusseerabad bad joined the rebels. The mutineers are said to be much broken and dispirited. Detachments are lying outside the city, on the Kootub side, to escape the fire. Summund Khan, one of the leaders, had decamped. The battery at Metcalfe I:loose was nearly ready. In the attaok on the 19th, Major Tombs, not Turner, commanded ona of the columns ; he was sli;htly wounded, and had two horses shot under him, Captain Brown, lst . Fusiliers ° was severely wounded, and Lieut. Wheatly, of the 54th, and four men were killed. Captain M'Andrew reports that some Sirdars of the Jeypore Farce were to have an interview with General Reed on the evening of the 19th. Nothing had been heard of the:Jullandur mutineers at Delhi, up to the 19th. . A letter from Al'norm says that the Native Artillery were mutinous and were disarmed and imprisoned. A force of Goorkhas was being organised to act against the rebels at Bareilly. _ (Signed) R. MONTGOMERY, Judicial Commissioner, —Lahore Chronicle Extra. Judicial Commissioner's Office, Lahore, June 22, On the evening of the 19th an attack was made on the rear army by the mutineers from Nusseerabad with six gune. The .Rajah of Jheend's force first engaged them, when the artillery and 9th Lancers advanced, and the mutineers were driven back. Early next morning the attack was renewed, and a contest ensued. The mutineers were routed with great slaughter, and one gun and two ammunition waggons were taken. Colonel Yule, of the 9th Lancers, was killed. The Jheend men behaved with great gallantry. General Van Cortlandt, in command of the Buttiana Irregular Force has bad two engagements with the rebel, in the vicinity of Sirsah. On both occasions they in flicted great loss. The last action was a very decided one, and the rebels fled in great disorder, losing at least 200 men, besides a number of prisoners taken. The mounted police under Lieut. Faeroe, did good service, and Rajah Jow a h er Si ng ' s men part i cu l ar l y distinguished themselves. (Signed) R. MONTGOMERY, Judicial Commissioner.

But heavy firing is said to have been heard in the direction of Delhi yesterday morning, which ceased about 9 a.m. - Particulars not yet received. The troops of the Bekaneer Rajah, which have joined General Van Cortlandt, number 2,700 of all arms, and not 500 horsemen only, as stated yesterday. A strong body of these have been sent on to aid Mira Jan Baz Beg, Deputy Collector of Hissar. Private letters from Calcutta state that nine European regiments have arrived there. A letter from Umritsur mentions that a fire broke out in cantonments on the 22d, supposed to be accidental. General Johnstone has not yet arrive lat Delbi. Hia carriage was upset on the road, and ho was severely shaken. —Mid. (Signed) R. MONTGOMERY, Judicial Commissioner. Judicial Commissioner's Office, Lahore, June 23. Intelligence regarding the action at Delhi, of which mention was.maie yesterday, states it to have been long and desultory, lasting until evening, the mutineers tak ing advantage of the cover afforded by the numerou. garden enclosures near the scene of action. Their loss is reported to have been very heavy ; but the numbers were not correctly known, and of the British army, Cap tain Jackson was killed, and Col. Welshman and tour other officers wounded. The amount of other casualties is not mentioned. Accounts received from Captain Robertson, with Gen. Van Cortlandt's force at Sirsa, state that tranquillity was being gradually restored in that quarter; the vil lagers were returning to their homes, and plundered property was being brought in. Lieutenant Pearce bad started off for Hissar with a considerable number of horse and foot, and the general himself was about to follow. Information hie been received from Brigadier-General Nicholson, that the 35th Regiment Native Infantry, forming a part of the moveanls column, and the 33d Native Infantry, which had recently :narched from Hoosheeapore, were yesterday disarmed at Phillour.

From an extra of the Lahore Chronicle, 28th June : Up to the evening of the 26th there had been no more fighting at Delhi. Our reinforcements were arriving. The Bareilly mutineers were at Gurmuokteser gh au t unable to cross. A Cossid had reached Delhi from Agra, reporting all well there. There was heavy rain at Mahalla yesterday. The Ist Regiment of Punj ib Cavalry, (500 sabres) under Captain Hughes, were at the gbaut, opposite Ferozepore on the 26th, and would resume their march downwards the same night, (Signed) R. MONTGOMERY, Judicial Conminsioner. Judicial Commissioner's Office, Lahore, June 20. Some further brief details have been received by tele graph of the skirmishes which occurred before Delhi on the 27th. It is stated that our artillery did great execution, while the killed on our side did not exceed twelve. Lieutenant Harris, of the 2nd Fusiliers, was wounded, and Lieutenant Chalmers, of the Guides, slightly. A letter received from Delhi, from the Political Agent at Bhurtpoor, dated the 22nd, states that sll was well at Lucknow and at Allahabad, up to the last ad vices ; and at the latter station it is stated that the mutinners were very severely dealt with by the Sikh regiment stationed there. The latter further mentions that a large force of Europeans was collected at Benares, which will, doubtless, have moved upwards ere this. It is reported that the mutineers of the Gwalior con tingent are endeavouring to coerce the Maharaja, but their ultimate intentions are not known. Further details have been received of the account at Delhi on the 23rd, on NI hich occasion the efforts of the mutineers were more determined than on any previous one. It is said that their dead, at the close of the day, were counted at hundreds, their aggregate being ei.ti• mated at not less than a thousand. Tire gardens and buildings outside the city, in which they had shelt , red themselves, and given us much annoyance, have been taken possession of by us ; and it is said that, since the above date,-they have, in a marked manner, evinced less boldness in their attacks than her-tofore. .(Signed) R. MOMTGOMERY, Jilldielal Commissioner. —Lahore Chronicle Extra, June 30. The wounded inside the city are sail to amount to two thousand. Sickness is daily thinning the ranks of the insurgents. The Bareilly mutineen are reported to be outside the city gates. The insurgents will not admit them, as they either fear a surprise, or else will not add to the already crowded state of the city. A force is to be detached to attack the Jullundur mutineers. Colonel Chamberlain is t 3 be Adjutant General ; Colonel Nicholson to succeed him in command of the Seikli force. The troops continue wonderfully well. The •9th Lancers and Captain Money's troops of Florse Artillery greatly dibtinguiihed themselves on the 14th. A telegraphic station is to be established at Race. The assault was not to take place until reinforce ments arrived ; and they were hourly expected by car riage dawk.—Dalla Gazette Extra, June 19. maow. We have received a letter from Mhow, dated Bth inst., stating that the Resident at Endore was obliged to flee from his post that morning, and that the whole 'country had risen up against the British Government. Tee 23d Regiment Bengal N. 1., stationed at Mhow, was ex pected to prose staunch to their colours, unless over powering forces were brought against them. Our troops captured two guns sent by Holkar to cut off their re treat, both cavalry and infantry bshaving well, and it was hoped they would be able to hold their positicn against all odds. When the cavalry came up to the guns, one man took the light to fire on our fellows, but it was instantlp put out by Captain Brooks, who ran his sword thzough the rascal. The Resident's retreat on Mhow had been cut off by Holkar ; and the battery sent to his relief, after reaching half way, got a note saying that he had gone to Simrole, and as the whole country was up in arms against us, it was of no use to take the guns further. The troops at Mhow are all day on the alert, and will no doubt, give a good account of the scoundrels, who, it is reported meditated an attack on the evening of the Ist of July. Accounts have since been received from Mhow up to the 9th inst. The European Battery in the Fort, under Captain Hungerford, was well, and Holkar was render ing every assistance in his power. His two mutinous regithents had proceeded with the Bengal regiments towards Oojein, on their way, it is supposed, to Delhi. They had commenced quarrelling among themselves about the treasure which they bad seized and taken with them from Indore, belonging to the Maharaja. Some of these men had returned to Indere. The Maharaja bad offered high rewards for the apprehension of the chief instigators, and also sent troops in pursuit of the mutineers. He had sent his treasure for protection into the fort at Mhow, which is a convincing proof of fidelity and goodwill towards ue.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY, JULY 13. Our money market during the last fortnight has been in a very unsettled state, and although the rates of in terest ruling at the banks remain nominally the same, yet money is difficult to be bad on almost any terms. Government securities have given way considerably, and we quote Fours W to 81, and no buyers of Fives at 97. Our local stocks keep firm at about former quo. tations. IMPORTS. Cotton Piece Goods. --The market for the fortnigt t has been very quiet, and the sales reported have been to a very moderate extent. Cotton Yarns . — This article is not inquired for, for is it exported. Turkey red has advanced and orange and green are dull. Metals.—lron is falling, copper somewhat steady, and speller saleable ; pig lead ha's advanced ; tin pl e , es are in demand.

While a consider able ad lition has - been made to our stocks by late arrive's, the disordered state of the Upper Provinces has entirely put a stop to purchases of all descriptions of goods; the prices of which must at the present moment be considered quite nominal. Many of the native shroffs and deale:s have been placed in great difficulties by the non-receipt of advises or remittance from their principa s in the North-west, and by the difficulty, if not the utter impos sibility, of raising funds by sale of bills, and one or two of them have already succumbed under the pressure. We cannot look out for any improvement un'il the coms plete restoration of tranquillity and order in the Upper Provinces, as also of dee-communication with the North west. During the fortnight under review a very small business has been done iii British cotton piece goods. the purchases consisting entirely of what is required for local consumption. We have had no demand for any sort of met tie except sheathing copper, which has slightly im proved in valet MONEY MARKET.—The pressurehas been rather on the increase in the bazaar in consequence of the disturbed state of the country, and we understand much difficulty is experienced, by the native traders and capitalists, in meeting with their engagements, re uittances from ttio Upper Provinces having cea-ed altogether. The exist ing state of affairs here indicates greeter pressure unless order be speedily restored throughout the country. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.—HoIders and dealers hay ing shown little disposition to sell, a slight improvement has taken place in the 4 per Cents;, though we have bad but a limited business done during the past fortnight. Our quotations to-Jay are re. 16 to 16.4 for Company's Fours, 18 to 18-4 for Sicca Fours, and re. 1 to 1-4 per cent. discount for Company's Fives. EXCHANGE.—OR London, the market opened for the present mail at 2s. 2&d. for first-class credits at 6 months' sight, but the rate immediately fell to 2-2 i, and subse quently to 2-2, at which it closes. Bariugs' credit have sold es low as 2-18, and at this rate some bank bills at 6 months' sight have also been negotiated. Document bills at 6 months' sight we quote at 2 24 to 2-21 per rupie. On China, nothing dying. FREIGHTS.—The arrivals during the week in compari son to the demand for tonnage, have proved large, by which the number of available ve eels in the harbour have been on the increase, but though the engagements lately have been to a moderate extent, we do not notice any material alteration in the rates. For Great Britain twid other ports of Europe a small business only has been done, nor have thoe6 engaged in the country trade shown much activity. For L-ndon we consider 41. s:t. all round as the existing rate, and for Liverpool 31. 178. 6d. to 4-0, at which small parcels have been taken up, but no charter for either place. A good amount of tonnage has been aborbed by she engagements for the convey ance of emigrants to Mauritius, which have steadily con tinued since our last ; the deal weight have taken at Rs. 1-8 a bag. For China likewise several ships have been axed to load with rice at 81-0 to 81-0-7 a bag. CHINA. HONG KONG, JUNE 24. Lord Elgin has not arrived. The sth and 90th Regiments are to be diverted to India. The Chinese report that the Emperor has abdi cated ;, but this is not believed. Our latest advices from England are to the 27th April. The lOch May mail is hourly looked for. The steamer Singapore leaves to-day with the out ward mails, ant has on board about 1,716 bales new silk. H.I.M. steamer Phlegethon, and gun-boat Dra goune, arrived here on the 22d inst. from Singapore. We learn of the arrival of her. Majesty's steamer Shannon there. She was to have left for this on the 18th inst. with Lord Elgin. The Overland Friend of China in its general sum mary of the 24th of June says :—" Since. the de spatch of the last mail, the only military operation reported is the capture, on the .18th inst., of the °hue:Tee fort, a walled encampment of consider able extent on a height of the ltft of the Pearl River about five miles below the Bogue—one shell over the fort from Commodore Keppel's flag steamer the Hong Kong, and another from the gunboat Forester, were quit 3 sufficient to send the garri son, of about a hundred ' braves,' scampering over the embrazures, quiet possession being then taken by parties from the respective ships engaged—viz., the Sampson, Tribune, High flyer, Fury, and vessels already named. The place is now occupied by 120 of our people, under the command of Lieutenants Boyle, Norman, and Oz zard, R.M., of the Tribune, and Mr. Acting Mate Hornby, of the Elk. This, we suppose is the first of our permanent captures. Both as a sanatorium and srrategic point it is admirably situated. The dispo sii ion of the fleet is as fellows.

Some of the gunboats are not placed, it will be seen, but it is understood that each of the post-captains on the station has one attached to his vessel as a tender. On the whole these gunboats are ill adapted for the service re quired of them ; their rate of steaming is so insig nificant that escape from determined "fast crabs" would bo impossible ; whilst for creeks with any thing under six feet of water, they are quite useless.
