'I he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disc ase known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is Satitled, It 18 absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with , out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties May be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may he removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

"In Gya there has been nothing more than what would occur anywhere at any time if all the civil authorities were suddenly to withdraw, as was there and elsewhere done under orders. The thieves and robbers of the neighbourhood plundered the kutcheries and some private houses, and those who had grudges against their neighbours began to hope and prepare for an opportunity of vengeance. But all this has been arrested by the immediate and stern disavowal of -'s act, and the prompt return of the authorities. Ido not think that we shall have any more serious matter in the Gya. district. " Mozufferpore, which was as quiet and un threatened as Calcutta, has escaped wonderfully, and the authorities having returned all is going on well. The gaol and treasury guards did their duty stoutly, and the townspeople stood up for them selves. There were some 16 of Holmes sSowara in the place, which were too few to have attempted mischief if the civilians had remained. When these latter were ordered away the Sowers robbed their stables of all their horses and made off. They tried to liberate the prisoners and to plunder the trea sury, but were fired on and driven back by the guards. They.tried to do a little loot, also, in the town, bnt were beaten back by the townspeople. Nine lacs of rupees were in the treasury, and all has remained safe. " Chuppra was abandoned with somewhat more reason, because it was really threatened by a strong party of Holmes's Irregular Horse. Still the flight was very hasty and precipitate, and, had a little more courage existed,it is probable that the station might never have been abandoned. "There bas been no outrage and no plunder there because of the spirit and loyalty of a Maho medan resident, well known in those parts, and (hitherto) always doubted—a certain Cazee am zan Allee. He assumed the command on the de parture of the European., kept everythinr , quiet and loyal, and has since delivered ever his charge, prisoners and all, in perfect order to the returned civilians. He and others who have similarly be haved will, you may be sure, be handsomely rewarded. "At Patnah all is in order. " The houses, pnblic and private, at Gya and at Arrah have been gutted, and in some cases de stroyed ; in Arrah by the mutineers, in Gya by the prisoners released by their guards. " All the Ramghur Battalion (except the cavalry) have mutinied and driven off the authorities, Lut the country and the Zennindars are thoroughly quiet and loyal. The following is a sketch of the state of affairs in those districts : " Ranches or Doremda.—The civil and military authorities were obliged to retreat, having remained tilt the latest moment. The mutineers, having four guns with them, have remained at Doremda, from some motive not yet understood. Some say they are waiting for the arrival of their out-detachments from the other stations before proceeding westward ; some that they are endeavouring, vainly, to get some local Zemindar to join and head them. They are viewed 'with no kind of sympathy by the pelple, and if we could move speedily upon them would be scattered. But our want of men and means has hitherto prevented us (most unfortu nattly) from taking the prompt measures so greatly required for the occasion. A brigade is, however, in preparation, and will march some time this week via the Grand Trunk-road and Hazareebagh. "At the place last named there was a detachment of the Bth Native Infantry. These mutinied and committed some destruction, the prisoners here as everywhere else being released. The mutineers have gone off (no one yet knows whither), and the commissioner is about to reoccupy Hazareebagh with a small party of Rattray's Sikh corps. "At Peurulia (Maunbhoom) the small detach ment of the Ramgbur battalion mutinied and went off after plundering and destroying the homes and part of the town. " Chyebassa (Singbhoom) was hastily abandoned by -- before any show of mutiny had taken place. But the Rajah of Sereikhela, a powerful and very loyal rajah of that country, has stepped for ward to protect the station , and as far as we know has entirely succeeded. Both Peurulia and Chye basga will be immediately reoccupied by civil offi cers backed by a small force of Sikhs. "From Bhagulpore, which is quite quiet, the sth Irregular Cavalry have decamped without beat of drum. They have gone to Dooghur and Rohnee, and thence towards Gya, where they will fall into a trap, as they know not that Gya is reoccupied both by Europeans and Sikhs. " These runaways tried to raise the 32d Native Infantry at Bowsee, but wonderful to say, were re sisted and fired upon. They have plundered a lit tle here and there. I fear from the wretched weak ness of our means they will contrive to get away to the westward uninjured. "The santhals are perfectly quiet. " At Julpogoree, the 73d N.I. and two troops of the 11th Irregular Cavalry are a subject of much anxiety. There have been several attempts to get up a mutiny, but on each occasion the persons con cerned have been apprehended and sent away prisoners. On the last occasion a Brahmin Sepoy of the 73d armed himself and denied authority, calling on the other Sepoys to join him and destroy the Feringhees. At the order of the officer of the day he was shot without hesitation by a party of the quarter-guard, and his body thrown into the Teosta. " Young - has been evincing great judgment and courage as joint magistrate at Julpogoree. He has for many weeks carried his life in his hand, and is yet I fear in danger. " All the rest of Bengal is quiet. " The opium advances are about to be made, and we look for quiet and good order to insure the crop. With very few exceptions the Zemindara of our provinces are very loyal, and the people in no way disposed to tumult."

One man, seeing that they were to be burnt out, sprang out of the little window like a tiger, with his loaded musket in his hand, evidently resolved to sell his life dearly. I happened to be standing close to the window, and shot him through the head with the carbine I had used all day. He fell all in a heap, stone dead. On finding the smoke insufferable they came out one by one, only to be shot down imme diately. The square was now an awful sight, with eight or ten dead bodies lying on the ground, a n d the whole place streaming with blood, and the pri soners some of them frigtfully wounded." MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.-04 Tuesday afternoon an article, which seemed to be a rude box or coffin, was washed ashore at Beenbane strand, quite close to Dingl harbour, and about a mile from the town. This shell or case on coming into the breakers was so knocked about that it burst open, revealing the body of a female quite naked. She appeared to be a woman of middle age, with brown hair. The body was not in an advanced stage of decomposition, considering the length of time it had been in the water, which, judging from the length of barnacles (four inches) on the lower part of the coffin, has been estimated by seafaring persons at no less than four months. Mr. Philip Hodnett, of the Coast Guard, who was day watchman, reported the case to the police, who placed the body in a coffin got from the work house. It was then brought into town, and by the per mission of the High-sheriff, allowed to lie in the Court house to await au inquest. STEAM v. SAles.--When the comparative merits of the clipper ships and steam vessels as transports were fully discussed a few weeks back we pointed out that the season of the year was unfavourable to the sailing ves sels, which would no doubt have shown the greater speed had they left England two months earlier, and the truth of our remarks is now shown by the passages of the Lord Raglan. This vessel, after fitting out in Liverpool, pro ceeded to Kingstown, where she embarked the 4th Regiment of the line for the Mauritius. She left Dublin early in May, and made a rapid run out, beating the mail steamer England from Dartmoor eig ht days, with which the auth or iti es o f t h e i sland were s o much pleased that, upon a favourable report being made of the vessel, her commander, Captain Heron, and crew, by the offi cers of the 4th, she was taken - up to convey the left wing of the 33(1 Regiment to ; Bombay. By the mail this week we have advices of her arrival at Bombay, her run from the Mauritius only occupying 12 days and a half, beating the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Potinger two days on that passage. The time o ccupied in;aailing from Dublin to Bombay, deducting detention at the Mauritius, is about the shortest this season. Her run from the Mauritius was during the favourable mon ‘oon. Had she to make the passage in the month of November the Pottinger would, no doubt, do it in half the time. Sailing vessels, of c ourse, require wind, not too much before the beam, and clippers plenty of it, to make way through the w att - r Awhile steamers of propor tloLa a power are almost i n dependent of it, as shown in t ie case of the screw steamer City of Manchester, which left the Downs two days before the celebrated clipper -hip Lightning. The ste amer arrived at St . Vincent's, Cape Verd, on the 6th o f Sept. iu 11 days' passage from Gravesend, coaled from the steamer Boephofus, which had been sent out with a supply of fuel for the purpose, ; and lett on the Bth of September for India. The Light nen was spoken on the 6th of September, thy, day of the steamer's arrival at St. Vin Cent, but, owing to light and contrary winds, she had scarcely got' beyond the latitude of Cape Finisterre.-m-Liverpool.:o4ll. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, 0 THE 11PDIAN MUTINIES. The following is from Dinapore, dated August the 15th "On Saturday, July 25, the 3 native regiments (7th, Bth, and 40th) mutinied at Dinapore, but held in check by her Majesty's 10th Foot and a field battery of six guns they were unable to do any violence or harm in that station, although they succeeded in marching out intact with all their arms, ammunition, and accoutre ments. On Sunday they crossed the river Soan, 16 miles from Dinapore and eight miles'from Arrah, and upon Monday morning, July 27, marched into Arrab, whe re th ey release the prisoners, about 400, and joined by the guard over them, many hundreds also of armed deserters and men on leave from other regiments, they numbered 3,000 disci plined troops. These were joined by an equal num ber of dependents of Koor Singh, a native of large property and influence in the neighbourhood, and the combined army took possession of the Govern ment treasury. I should here remind you of what I informed you in a letter, that some weeks a g o I had - taken the pr ecau ti on to f ort if y a small detached two-story house, 50 feet square, with a flat roof, which was in the corttPound with my main dwel linghouse. This I had done that in case of our being surprised we might have some defensive place place of refuge. It was provisioned with meal, corn, biscuit, water, wine, and some beer, all of which I had placed there, with a fewother necessaries, some weeks previously ; and my preparations ahno.st ex cited a smile in some of those who were atterieards, among the first to acknowledge the value of them. On Sunday the 26th, we heard that the mutin o u s : Sepoys were crossing the river Soane in large num- ; bers at a point eight miles from Arrah, and were on their march towards M. One of the Govern ment officers and I rode out half way, but could get no positive account or intelligence of their num bers, and, as the despatches sent from Dinapore to warn us had been intercepted, we did not know whether one, two, or three native regiments had mutinied, and we hoped, but vainly, that they would immediately be pursual. We had 50 Sikh soldiers in Arrab, and, being 16 ourselves, resolved to make a stand. Accordingly, on Sunday night we occupied the bungalow, and the mutineer; after securing the treasure on Monday, attacked us about 9 o'clock a.m. Most of the Europeans, besides re volvers and hog spears, had double-barrelled guns, or a gun and a rifle, with abundance of ammuni tion, and providentially a large surplus, from which (when the Sikhs' supplies began to run short) we made some thousand cartridges. To describe the repeated attacks, the almost incessant firing, and the hairbreadth escapes we sustained until Suni.lay, the 2d Aug., at sunset, would form a lengthy nar ra•ive, and, as I have by me a copy of an official description of it, it occurs to me that the perusal of it will interest you, and save the time it would take me to write more at length. On Sunday after noon (Aug. 2) we saw an evident commotion among ' our assailants, and soon after heard faintly the firing of cannon at a distance to the westward. This afterwards proved to be a relieving force, which had marched from Buxar to our assistance, and which the main body of the insurgents went out to meet, but the latter being defeated we passed Sun day night u .molested, and next morning marched out of our shattered but still strong little fort tri umphant, but I hope not vainglorious, in having kept at bay fora week 100 times our number. Our miraculous preservation should be ever a continual cause of the deepest thankfulness to us all, for ex cepting some scratches and bruises not worth men tioning but one of our little garrison (a Sikh) was dangerously wounded. Numbers of the enemy were killed around us, and in my own dwelling-house, which was gutted and partially burnt after, every thing of value was either destroyed or carried away by the back approach, which we could not com mand. What we were most apprehensive of for some days was disease from the odour of dead bodies, and four or five of our own horses (includ ing my b - st Arab riding horse) were shot and in a state of decomposition within 50 yards of us ; but neither was this allowed seriously to affect us. I should now tell you of the terrible disaster which befell a force of nearly 500 men sent from Dinapore to our relief during the middle of the siege. They had on Wednesday night (July 29) incautiously approached Arrah, and fell into an ambush, and there and in the retreat to the Ganges lost one-third of their number killed and a large proportion badly wounded, there being but a very few who escaped unscathed. When we heard from our fort (not a mile off) the sudden and heavy volleys about dark midnight we guessed too truly what had occurred, and I believe there were few among us who did not feel far more deeply the reverse which (as the firing grew fainter) we knew must have befallen our coun trymen than that by their defeat we had lost our best and almost only hope of succour. " The nightly t reac h erous h arangues ma d e t o us by the mutineers f rom the cover o f my dwelling house, 60 yards off, were a nswered only by us, when there was a pause, b y a vo ll ey o f b u ll e t s directed towards the speaker's hiding-place. It was agreed no other answer should ever be given them, and I do not believe there was a man among us who would have allowed himself, if possible, to fall into their hands alive. The Sikhs have asked me, and I have promised to build the well into a permanent one as a memento of their services, and that our little fort shall have fixed upon it the name of .' Fut ehgur :' or house of victory.' For some days after we had b een re li eve d I was engaged in erecting some brid ges that h a d b e en broken down by the mutineers and restoring the main lines of communication as field-engineer to Major Eyre's force, when, in returning to Arrah, I received a severe kick from a vicious horse, belon g ing to one of our party. Luckily no b one was broken, but I was laid up for two days, and on the force prepering to leave Arrah I had to be carried into Dinapore. I ain now able to get about a little, so that in another week I hope to be as well as ever." The following is a copy of the report by Mr. Wake alluded to in the above " Sir,--I have the honour to forward for the in formation of his honour the Lieutenant-Governor the following narrative of our e xtraordinary defence and providential escape. On theevening of Satur day, July the 25th, I received an express from. Dinapore warning us that a disturbance was appre hended on that day, but g i v ing us no other infor mation. On the m orn i ng o f the 26th of July a Sower whoml had at K oe lwar Ghat on the Soane came in and reported that numbers of Sepoys had crossed, and that many more were cr. ssing. found that Mr. Palin, th e railway engineer sta tioned at Koelwar, had eon.onied himself with sending over for the boats to the Arrah side the night before, but when leaving had failed to de stroy them, as he had promised to do. The police, I imagine, bolted at the first alarm. All efforts to ascertain the amount of the force of the rebels were unavailing, and the police left the city on Sunday the 26th. Thinking it highly unadvisable to abandon the station when the rebels might be few, and having 50 Sikhs on the spot, and finding the rest of the officers of the station of the same opinion, and that the few residents of the district who ha I come in were willin g to remain, we on the night of Sunday , the 26 th, went into a small bungalow previously fortified by Mr. Boyle, tha district engineer of the railway company. Our force consisted of one jemadar and two hail dare, two naicks, 45 privates, a. bhisti and cook of Capt. Rattray's Sikh Police Battalion ; Mr. Littledale, judge m agistrate ; Mr. Colvi n , ass i stan t ; D r . Rallis, civil-assistant - surgeon ; Mr. Field, ake : Mr. Combs, offici a ti ng collector ; M r . , w sub deputy opium agent ; Mr. Anderson, his assistant ; com pany Mr. Boyle, oy s l y e, n d A districtzini o e o n d g e i e n n e e a r to . ictihnen deputyrailway col - lector ; Mr. Dacons t a, moonsiff ; Mr. Godfrey, schoolmaster ; Mr. Cock, officiating head clerk of the r,epir collectorateie ti and Mr Hoyle,.Tait,ser e eLa i r l y way to Mr. Boyle ; Messrs. inspectors; and Mr. de Souza. We had enough ottah and grain for some days: of shorts allowance, and a good deal of water for ourselves ; but owing to the shortness of our notice, nothing but the bare ne e few days' water ; b u t as we expec t e d th e r cessar i e s could be brought i n, an d the S ikh s h a d only immediately we had not n e l b a a.m., the insurgent Sepoys, the wh o l e o f th e 7th, Bth, and 40th Native Infantry, arrived in the station, and having first released the p r i sone rs, rushed to a nxiety followedatlt rebels to "On t o Monday, b nd ou that score. ye 27th 11P of June, about B the Colleetorate, where they were at once joined by the Najibs, and looted the treasure amounting to 85,000 rupees. This did not take long, and they then charged our bungalow from every side, changed thei r t act i cs, and, h idi ng hut, being met with a steady an d we ll-di re cted fire, theyhe trees, with whi c h the compoun d i s tile occupying the ou h ouses an d M r . behindßloyd' l t Boyle 's residence, l which WAS unfortunately within 60 yards of our fortification, they kept up an inces sant and galling file on us during the whole day. They were joined by numbers of Kcor Sing's men, and the sepoys repeatedly declared they were act ing under his express orders, and after a short time he was seen on the parade, and remained during the siege. Every endeavour was made by the re- A RELIGIOUS SWINDLER. A young Belgian, named Vertaille, was, three days ago, tried .by the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Strasburg for swindling. A young man in January last waited on the Abbe Vetter, pro fe9sor of the Free College of Colmar, and announced to him that he was a gentleman named de Villars, of Paris, of large property, and that having become converted, he, in disgust at the dissipated life he had led, was about to enter a convent ; but that before doing so he meant to place two young brothers in the college, and wanted to know the terms. Ho then produced what he represented to be a consecrated medal, and said that the superior of the Convent of La Trappe had charged him to present it to the Abbe. The Abbe received the medal with respect, encouraged the stranger in his pious disposition, and came to an agreement with him for the board and education of the boys. The stranger then said, though not without embarrass ment, that he bad lost his purse on the railway, and was not able to pay his fare back to Paris. The Abbe at once advanced 140 fr., which the stranger received with eveiy demonstration of gratitude ; but the good-natured priest never saw or heard anything more of the man, and the two young brothers never went to the college. In March last the Abbe Schnell, of the College Saint Arbogast, at Strasburg, was cheated out of 50fr. by a well-dressed young man who told him a precisely similar tale. On the 17th August last, the abbe on going to the Institution des Scours de la provi dence, in the Rue du Sanglier, saw a young man in •couversation with one of the sisters, and as this young - man started and turned pale on seeing him, he scrutinised him closely, and perceived that he was t' e one who had swindled him. The sister re lated that he had just arranged with her to send his two sisters to the institution, and had borrowed 20fr. in consequence of having had his pocket picked whilst at breakfast in an hotel. The abbe gave him into custody. In the evening the abbe learned that he had attempted to swindle the Lady Superior of the Sisters of the Christian Doctrine, in the Rue Brulee, but, not succeeding, had walked off with an umbrella ; also, that he had swindled the Superior of the Sisters of Our Lady, in the Rue des Mineurs, out of 6fr. The Abbe Vetter, hear ing of the arrest, gave a description of the man who had swindled him, and it appeared that he must have been the prisoner. Inquiries having been made about the man, he turned out to be a market gardener, and it appeared that he bad been con deemed at Soissons and Belley for swindling and vagabondage. The tribunal sentenced him to five years' imprisonment, and five years' surveillance of the police. From the London Gazette of Last Night. DOWNING-STREET, OCT. 3.

ARSENIC IN FLOUR.—Great consternation was causer' a few days ago at Neumunster, in Holstein, by the die covery that about 30 persons, belonging to eight families, Lad been poisoned. Medical assistance was procured, bui two children died, and the lives of several other persons were despaired of. It turned out that they had all eaten dishes made of flour which contained a considerable quan tity of arsenic. The flour was bought of a dealer at Bran stadt, but it has not yet been discovered how it came to be poisoned. Some other persons, residing in the en virons of the town, were also poisoned. An investiga t en has been instituted. TOBER 7, 18b7. bels to induce the Sikhs to abandon us ; heavy ribes were offered to them, and their own country men employed as mediators.

During the entire siege, which lasted seven days, every possible stratagem was practised against us. The cannons were fired as frequently as they could prepare shot, with which they were at first unpro - 'tided, and incessant assaults were made upon the bungalow. Not only did our Sikhs behave with perfect coolness and patience, but their untiring labour met and prevented every threatened disas ter. Water began to run short • a well of 18 feet by 4 was instantly dug in less than 12 hours. The rebels raised a barricade on the top of the opposite house ; ours grew in the same proportion. A shot shook a weak place in our defence. The place was made twice as strong as before. We began to feel the want of animal food and the short allowance of grain. A sally was made at night and four sheep brought in, and finally we ascertained beyond a doubt that the enemy were undermining us ; a counter ,mine was quickly dug. On the 30th troops sent to our re -liief from DiziaPore were attacked and' beaten back close to the entrance of the town. On the next day the rebels returned, and, telling us that they had annihilated our relief, offered the Sikhs and the women and children (of which there were none with us) their lives and liberty if they would give up the Government officers. August 1 we were all offered our lives and leave to go to Calcutta if we would give up our arms. On the 2d the greater part of the Sepoys went out to meet Major Eyre's field force, and on their being soundly thrashed the rest of them abandoned the station, and that night we went out and found their mine had reached our foundations, and a canvassed tube filled with gen powder was 13 ing handy to blow us up, in which, nowever, I do not think they could have succeeded, as their powder was bad ; and another stroke of the pick would have broken into our countermine. We also brought in the gun which they had left on the top of the opposite house. During the whole siege only one man, a Sikh, was severely wounded, though two or three got scratches and blows from splinters of bricks. Everybody in the gate is in be haved well ; but I should be neglecting a duty did I omit to mention specially Mr. Boyle, to whose engineering skill and untiring exertions wo in a great measure owe our preservation ; and Mr. Col vin, who rendered the most valuable assistance, and who rested neither night nor day, and took on himself far more than his share of every disagree able duty. In conclusion, I must earnestly beg that his honour the Lieutenant-Governor will sig nally reward the whole of our gallant little detach ment of Sikhs, whose service and fidelity cannot be overrated. The Jemadar should be 11,t once made a Soubader. Many of the rest are fit for promo tion, and when required I will submit a list with details." The following is the copy of a letter dated Almorah, August 4 : wren will be astonished to find I have left Nynee Tal. The fact is all ladies, to the number of 90, and as many children, have been ordered away from the Lake, as an attack is expected there —not a very formidable one, however, but ladies are always best out of the way at such time, , , and Captain Ramsey knows well that if a panic did occur every coolie would rush away to his home in the mountains, and then there would I , e no getting away for any of us. Khan Baliadour Khan, the Bareilly wt etch, has got together such an army as he could raise ; it must be a mere rabble, utterly untrained ; still they have the effrontery to pro , posa an attack on our fortress, and 3,000 men were reported to hare crossed the Kitcha, and ruched Huldwanee on Sunday, the 2d. There are now 500 brave little Ghoorkas at the ',Ake, besides gentlemen to the number of 100. The roads both by Kaleedoongee and Fluid wanee are barricaded at intervals for several miles, by moms of high stone walls, which only admit of one man passing up at a time, and we have guns in excellent position to guard each pass. I believe the pr,sent scheme is to allow the besiegers to come up beyond Julee, and then when they find themselves with a good steep hill a-head the Ghoorkas are to get round be hind, cut off the road, and so render retreat im possible. "The Mahomedans in Rampore have found out that their Nawab is friendly to us, and has helped us in sending up supplies, &c., though he has not of course been able to take any active part. A powerful party against him exists in his own city, and therd is a great chance that the poor man will have fallen a victim on the day of the festival Buckre Eel. If the Nawab's life be taken his force of 5,000 will assuredly attempt the Kalee doongee pass ; but even for this emergency, though greater than the other, every one says we are pre pared, and that there is scarcely a probability of any one getting up to Nynee Tal. Mrs. Edwardes has received a letter from her husband (Mr. Edwardes, C.S.), which was brought up concealed in a hookah by a native. It is a scrap in pencil, scarcely legible, but says he is safely con cealed by a Ilindoo Rajah in Oude, 14 miles from Futtygurh. The man has a fort and a few guns of his own ; consequently powerful. Mr. and Mrs. Probyn and four ehildren from Futtygurh ate also with this Rajah. They are kindly treated and in safety; for, though the Nawab of Futtygurh has several times demanded the English whom he con ceals, their protector refuses to give them up, and challenges his enemy to get them if he can." The following is from the Camp, Kolapoor : " In my last letter I could only give you a very short account of our little mutiny here. I shall now tell you all the events that have occurred. On the Ist inst., at half-past 8 p.m., Stubbs, Dr. Broughton, young Heathfield, Keith, and myself, after having dined at mess, were playing a game at billiards, when suddenly there was a violent knocking at the door, and in rus hed the native ad j utant and a drill havildar, anzl as soon as they had recovered their breath said there was a mutiny in the lines. We were all so excited, and everything in such a state of confusion, that I cannot well de scribe the events of that night, Only I know that at 3 o'clock in the morning the Major, Capt. M'Cul loch, Stubbs, De Laacey, Keith, and myself, took refuge, with 100 men, in a little school-house near the local corps' lines, after having walked the whole night through pelting rain, among ploughed fields, dressed in white mess jackets and trousers. At five o'clock in the morning we marched down with our 100 men, all the local corps (about 600 men), and 50 of the Southern Mahratta Irregular Horse, to our regiment's lines, where we expected the mutineers would defend themselves. We found, however, that about 210 men had gone away, taking their arms and lots of ammunition with them. The rest of the regiment either quietly joined us in the lines or had run away wad hidden themselves in the fields and villages about, when they heard the firing. Tho mutineers had broken into the treasure chests and taken away about 60,000r5. They had torn the regimental colours, and trampled them in the mud ; they had taken away or destroyed all the arms and ammunition in stores ; they had killed one woman, the native ad jutant's mother, and she had only saved his chil dren by hiding them under the beds ; they had riddled the major's' door and windows with balls, and broken open several of his boxes. The resident got information that the mutineers bad shut them selves up in a strong square building, with loop holed walls and flanking towers at the coreers, near the city of Bolapoor. Ho accordingly marched all the local corps out to attack them. When they got there, however, they were greeted by a volley from inside, fired through the loopholes in the wall. He then marched the locals straight borne. This was on the morning of the 2d inst. ; from that un til the 10th nothing was done. Our men were kept under arms all day ready to turn out the instant ' the bugle. sounded, and small parties of cavalry were continually scouring the country to get intel ligence of where the mutineers went, and to warn the headmen of villages not to give them food or shelter. On the Gth a party who had been out at a villaga about 16 miles off said that the people o f the village had told them that the unf,!rtunate young officers who had not been heard of since the night of the row had been caught and murdered here by the mutineers, and they showed the marks of bullets and the blood on the floor of a native temple. They said their bodies had been thrown into a river that runs near the place ; but they have not been found. On the 3d a man named Hossain Ali came in from the city to our lines, where he went to our soubedar-major's house and said to him, the Englishmen in India are to be killed. Get the regiment to rise ; the city will [PRICE 4D. STAMPED 5D.] join you. We will kill the officers, and then the Mussulman religion will again be the religion of India.' He also said that a native officer of the S. M. horse would join them with 100 men. The old soubadar put food before him, and said he would consult about how it was to be done. He got two other faithful officers into the house, and told them quietly to keep the man engaged in conversation, and not let him go, while he himself ran up and told the major. He then went back and brought the man quietly up through the lines to the major's house. He was then tied and sent into the city, where he was put in irons 'in the gaol. The next day four of our officers and I went into the city and tried him by court-mar tial, after having his irons knocked off. He was then takea out, and shot by six of the S. M. horse in the gaol yard. The man who commanded the firing party was the native officer who he said was to join them with 100 men. In the meantime about 90 men had come in from the fields and villages about, who said they had only run out there on hearing the firing to place their wives and children in safety, not knowing where else to go ; several men had also been brought in by the village autho rities and by the parties of irregulars who were riding about the country. They were all sent into the city of Kolapoor, where they were put into the gaol in chains, and guarded by the Rajah and his people. At night we all slept at Maughan's, where there is a very strong guard kept ; we have also outlying pickets of horse and foot in every di rection, and a regular chain of videttes all round camp. We telegraphed on the night of the Ist to Sat tars about the raw : Kerr, the adjutant of the S. M. Irregulars, started on the morning of the 2d, and was with us, bringing 50 men, on the morning of the 3d, having ridden with his men the 80 miles in 24 hburs, and swam their horses over three deep and rapid rivers which in the rains are considered c quite impassible. He is a very fine fellow and a capital specimen of an irregular horseman ; the other day he rode 240 miles without stopping. Im mediately the row occurred Maughan telegraphed to Bombay for Europeans, but they have not been by any means so expeditious as Ker, for, though a steamer was despatched from Bombay immediately with 2CO of the 2d Europeans to Wargoten, and they arrived there on the 3d, they have not been able to get here yet on account of the nullas and rivers being all so flooded. A troop of Horse Ar tillery, too, started from Poouah, but they have not arrived here yet for the same reasons. It was at eve time feared the whole country had risen ; we might have been all cut to pieces for all they knew, so that th-y are very much to blame for not having made more haste. Up to the 10th the mutineers had met with no check ; on that day, however, we had the great pleasure of doing for a few of them. On the night of the 9th Maughan received intelli gence that 25 of the mutineers with muskets in Viol.. hands were coming back in the Kolapoor di rection, from a place 16 miles out on the Wargoten road, whew they had all gone to at first. Kerr mounted at 12 o'clock at night and set off through tlie rain with 30 men to meet them. He rode out about 12 miles, and caught three men, but he heard from them at half-past 11 o'clock the main body of them had marched in and occupied the same position which Maughan had tried to take before. Kerr left his men round about the place to see that they did not go away during the night, and rode in to ask Maughan to givd him more men, and let him try to take the place. Accordingly at ten o'clock next morning Capt. M'Culloch and I set off with 30 volunteers from our regiment, and Kerr br aught 30 more of his Irregulars. When we got Micro we found the fellows inside ready to receive us, with twosentries walking up and down between the wall and the lake, and a man at each of the corner towers, who fired when any of us came too near. We passed behind the little native huts which line the road, to a little stone temple, which they had not bean able to occupy, as it is solid stone, without door or window; in fact, it is a monument, and not a temple. From here we could see what sort of a place it was. It was a double square, hol low in the middle, like a farm square in Scotland, with a low, tiled shed inside the wall, for putting horses and cattle in. The four doors were all of tre mendously hard wood, into which a musket ball did not penetrate half an inch, and the main gate of the same wood, bound and studded with iron, and Bor 10 inches thick. The two men who were walking up and down the place in front of the little wt d ut o ar o stnl r sne w dobt h seho i t c , lll,,oks out towards the lake began firing a r s f i o n tm d fieodi t ihrbs e ehu, uacosrs m u t:ohl bushes which monument, M'Culloch taie. hjaey etinn, keeping pesffiai toldtohnnh rog d edu aremo du o oeo u r:etw r tfaolepi f l teeiletamol where e o l ehwsct from some v:oni r ei mei. cover for our men and some of the S. M. Horse round the lwg:ekirene going trees e ae e ap s r el a a rc. a for skirmishers. From here we soon dislodged the two men, one of whom was hit on the thigh, and they ran inside the square. We could not get very near the square, as there was a little temple at that corner, which they had occupied, and from the little windows of which they fired at us. We remained here behind the trees a long time, answerin g their shots, on the' chance of some balls going in through the loopholes or windows. After a while a fellow came riding round the lake to say that all our offi cers had come down with 20 more men, and that they had got two ofthe Rajah's guns and were going to blow the main gate open and storm the place. I was told accordingly to collect my men and prevent any of the fellows escaping by the road towards our camp. I therefore formed my men up and made the horsemen mount so as to be ready to chase them if they came past. I was here concealed by a bank from the fort. The fellows with M'Culloch then began blazing away with the guns at the main gate, and I expected every minute to hear that they had broken the gaze open and gone in, and was feeling very much disgusted at not being able to go and see the fun, but I felt obliged to stay and watch that road. The guns soon stopped firing, and I supposed all was over. H owever , I was soon undeceived, for Kerr and the major came round to the lake where I was, and said they were going to bring the guns there to see if they could open a way in. They said that the guns could only be brought to fire obliquely, and there Te did not have much effect on the gate, for the balls merely went through, leaving only a small round hole in the wood, but not breaking it so as to make it pas sable. The guns were then placed in a new position, and we began firing at the little side door. Two balls went through it, but only left little round holes, as in the other door, and no two balls hit on the same spot, for the balls were too small for the guns, and the fellows could not aim them at all— so much so that several balls went right over the place and did considerable damage in the city. While here a native gunner was killed from the wall, and one shot cut my trousers on the left leg, but did not touch the skin. The major, seeing that the guns were not likely to open a way into the place, said to me, Will you take a party and turn those fellows out who are firing out of the windows of that little temple?' I got l 2 men to volunteer, and we rushed up the road with a shout, six of the men firing their muskets at the windows while run ning up, the remaing six reserving their fire for closer quarters. I ran up to one window and fired a cavalry carbine which 1 had used all day right into the place, and one of the men did so to the other. We found, however, that the fellows who had been there had left it, and gone into the main building. From round the outside of this temple we could keep them almost entirely from firing from that side of the building, for if one shot was fired from a loop hole it was immediately answered by a dozen, and we were so near that alot of our balls always went in. The biggest gun was here hauled up clo-e to the little door. Here two natives were killed; one was hit on the mouth, and the other had the whole of back part of his head carried away ; a ball grazed the toe of my left boot. Here seven men came out of the place and gave themselves up ; one of them had his eye shot out, and another his left ar d m a brokenwhole by a cannon ball. All of a sudden we l t i e e l a d r that Kerr lot of shots inside the place, and b wern gate, which they had got in on the opposite side neglected to guard. b a have nt w e cowl battered th note get it opened at once,. ____ stones inside against it. We rushed at alittle door which had not been tried before because it was so difficult to g& at. We found it not so strong as the others, and I rake it in with a pickaxe and the butts door down in a few mWaosreethshesyohnoilltdasYd, piled a lot of big of oar muskets. Several men were shot down in side, and three prisoners taken. It is very extraordi nary that not one of our men was touched, though they fired a lot of shots at us. Six men took refuge in a little room in the middle of the square. This was made of immense blocks of solid stone. There was a small door looking towards the main gate, up to which there were four stone steps ; there was a little stone verandah round it, to which the window looked, and which was raised about 4 feet above the ground. TN, window was about 2 feet above the verandah, and about 4 feet square. The door and wooden shutter of the windows were shut. We sent a lot of balls through the door and windows, and they returned them each on the chance of hitting the other. They hit one colour-havildar on the . head and one sepoy on the knee. After awhile , find
