The advices by the Overland Mail have been received, and considerable extracts will be found in another part of our impression. The tele grams contained in The Sun of yesterday were more complete than usual, and there is a decided improvement on the part of those entrusted with the duty of preparing the summaries. As before, however, they are, generally speaking, more favourable than the full iutelligence, preparing the public mind generally for the bad news that must speedily follow. With the single exception of Delhi, there is no place in which our position has improved, or our prospects appear more en couraging than heretofore. The accounts are, according to the general rule, of a chequered cha racter, but more than ordinarily disastrou-. General HAVELDCIC—no longer a Brigadier, but, thanks to the tardy recognition of the au thorities, a Major-General and K.C.B.—has again distinguished himself, and his followers have proved themselves worthy of their truly illustriou, leader. But, unfortunately, his victories have • been dearly paid for—his resources too severely taxed. Ilis column has been reduced to 900 bayonets, and he could not reasonably hope to cope with the tremendous odds which he should be compelled to encounter. His gallant soldiers were worn out with fatigue and almost superhuman exertions. They could not, however, obtain the repose so greatly needed. Their countrymen and countrywomen were be sieged at Lucknow. Net merely the:garrisoe, but English women and children were placed in fear ful jeopardy, and every one of the scanty but determined band was animated by an unflinching resolution to save them or perish in the attempt. We had beard of the triumphs of the 29th and 30th July at Busserut Gunge en route to Luck now, He was, however, obliged to retrace his footsteps to Cawnpore in order to place his sick and wounded—and disease had made ter rible ravages on his Brigade—in compare tive • safety, and also to secure the guns which be had captured from the rebels. On the 4th ( f August he again moved forward. On the follow ing day. he had another sharp conflict with about 5,000 mutineers, whom he engaged, and as usual defeated,- aga i n capturing their gu m H e ag a i n pushed on to Busserut Gun ge , but havin g .ascer -1 tained tbat the rebels were more than 50 to 1, was obliged to retire on Cawnpore, which he did i n perfect order. Oa the 12th August he was attacked on th e north bank of the Ganges, but again discomfited his assailants, and again captured their guns. It Would not have been courage, but reckless mad ;mast() have attempted more in the direction of He kept the rebels in full occupation, •althaugh unable to give complete relief to the, beleaguered garrison. It is still hoped that they may have been assisted by a party of poor khas—the same whose aid was so contumeliously rejected by Lord CANNING. This is, however, exceedingly problematical, and we must still fee! deep anxiety for the fate of the garrison, and the fagitivqs who have taken refuge along with them. But for fed-tapism their safety would have been T 11 E insured ; and if lost, they may be regarded as victims sacrificed at the altar of routine. The position even of HAVELOCK himself was very formidable. His small and literally worn- out brigade was completely surrounded by assail- ants. On one side, the left bank of the river, the rebellious Oudeans, who had experienced such con vincing proofs of his prowess, threatened. At another, from Futtehpore, where he first en countered the rabble of the rebel NANA SAHIB, the mutineers were collecting boats to enable them to cross the river. There, how ever, a single steamer, something like one of our metropolitan Citizen, or Iron Companies' boats, the only one available, but which under the circumstances was worth a line of battle ship, might prevent the passage. From the direction of Callpee too, the mutineers from Gwalior threa tened to effect a junction with the Oudean insur gents, and there was nothing to stop them. A few of the watermen steamers might save HAVELOCIC, and the remnant of the hardy Highlanders and dashing 68th. We all remember the capture of Blackfriars Pier. The Captain of Waterman, No. 5, might now achieve fame and honour if ia the right place. We have pointed out the imperative necessity of a river flotilla, but unfortunately our suggestions were disregarded, and HAVELOCK has but one steamer at his disposal, which cannot guard the fords of the Ganges and the Jumna. General LLOYD has been superseded, and it is said is to be tried by court-martial, or at all events an inquiry is to take place into hia con duct. Those who maintained him in a position for which he was so clearly disqualified are, how ever, more guilty than the infirm and imbecile old man. The terrible blundering, however, led to the destruction of the 200 British soldiers who fell into ambuscade in striving to relieve Alvah, endangered by the vacillation at Dinapore, fomented the disturbance in Behar, kept a large body of English soldiers, that might otherwise have joined General HAVELOOK, folly occupied, and left the Dinapore mutineers at liberty to join his assailants. These are serious calaniities, and the author or authors must fully answer for the untoward results. Sir JAMES OUTRAM will, how ever, unless we are greatly mistaken, prove a com mander of a very different calibre from Major ' General LLOYD. Many sharp cmtests have taken place before Delhi, in all of which the rebels assumed the initiative. In every instance we fully held our own, and many brilliant acts were performed by those who, though nominally besiegers, were really besieged in their own position. That state of affairs would, however, speedily be altered. NICHOLSON had arrived, and his troops were daily, we might almost say hourly, expected. CoRT LANDT was also approaching with his gallant fol lowers, and we may anticipate something from the " team" of newly-made 0.13 L, WILSON, NICHOL SON, CORTLANDT, and CHAMBERLAIN, Wiaoll Co operating against the devoted city. The mock KLNG has sent off the members of his Zenana to a place of greater safety. It is more than hinted that many of the mutineers are also seeking safety in flight, not even retaining their arms. It is also reported, al , though we do not place much faith in the rumour, that the represent.tive of the Arogula has endm voured to make term 3 for himself, striving to obtain 36 in place of 15 lacs of rupees, as the condition of surrender. Of course no such proposition coul I be list 'ned to for a moment, but the very ventilation of the subject shows that the garrison of Dahl do not feel themselves to be on a bed of roses, and that they are already look ing out for a means of escape. From Bombay and Madras matters are not very satisfactory. Although no new mutinies, there are occasional symptoms of disaffection among the native troops worthy of peculiar notice, and which should be at once looked ti by the authorities. Every appearance of tie kind should be strictly scrutinised. We have quite enough to do with out increasing our difficulties by further negli gence. It is announced that " the keel of the Royal Frederick, 120, which has been nearly 20 years on the stocks in Portsmouth, is found to be en tirely rotten, and has been nearly all removed," This is the blessed system under which the mari time affairs of Great Britain are neglected—the judicious management of "My Lords." A three decker, of 120 guns, has teen planned at a very heavy outlay. The keel is laid down—considor able progress made in the construction, but the work is never completed. It is destroyed by Time, even before it has ever floated on the water —before the launch has been accomplished. This is the result of red tapism ! Somebody should be responsible for ills loss. But it will be shuffled backwards and forwards, and eventually that ill-fated Mr. Nobody, " the common vouchee" of officials, will turn out to be the sole delinquent. This is in strict accordance with routine, and it would be well worth the loss if the lesson should prove profitable, and adequate means bo adopted to prevent similar absurdities for the future. It is not merely men-of-war that are decaying on the stocks. We have gunboats, whose services might be of vast importaece in the rivers and on the coasts of India and China, rotting in harbour. We have repeatedly, usque ad nauseam, pointed out how they might be rendered available, add how ex ceedingly advantageous they would prove in the Indian and Chinese seas. But nothing can awaken "My Lords" from their apathy. These valuableships were constructed just "in time to be too late for the Russian war—a heavy outlay was occasioned by their construction—thanks were beztowed on the Board of Admiralty for the judicious Expenditure ; but they are suffered to remain useless and unprofitable, simply because no person in authority will take the trouble of thinking what is to be their destination. What would HAVELOCK now give for a few steamers of shallow draught on the Ganges and the Jumna. The screw gunboats might possibly draw too much water to be fully available. But they could be useful elsewhere; and would liberate others for service in the upper waters. Nothing, however, is or has been done. " My Lords" slumber on, while the public money is wasted—philosophically permit vessels to decay while yet on the stocks, and cners to become rotten lying up in ordinary. It seems almost a pity to disturb their repose, but " a flapper" of " the Fourth Estate" would be useful to our "absent friends" at Whitehall. It would be well if Parliament were sitting to elicit au answer —but as we must wait for another Session, it is well to direct attention to the subject. Possibly, Lord Pitarp araTox may find time t) stir up Sir C. WOOD, and 81 10. w himwhat is expected by the na tion. He receives ampl e pay, distributes valuable patronage, and should do somethin , 7 in return. It is not the Royal Frederick only th a t has de cayed before her completion. If we are tot greatly mistaken the Nelson , aR other tbree-decker,hasnc Ter yet been launched, altho u g h ne arly 30 years o n the stocks. There are others also in a simil ar posi tion, which we have not titile t) 41111de - to more fully this day. We know that moneysivaati,oples, within 28 years at compound interest. 'W hat, then, has been the loss ? We may rail at direc tors of joint-stock companies, who disregard the interests confided to their charge. What should be thought of responsible Ministers who exhibit greater carelessness and indifference ? If the loss by the Nelson or the Royal Frederick was but 50,0001. or 60,0001., and it is, we be lieve, far below the mark in either case, it would now amount to 200,0001. or 240,0001., at compound interest. We might., in fact, have an entire Navy for India, aye, no less than a dozen Navies, for sums recklessly squandered in the Dockyards in fiddling with vessels never finished or turned to beneficial use. Never was a stringent investigation more urgently required than into the naval adminis tration, or, rather, mal-administration, of the country. We trust some independent member will demand it. We cannot think that with the instance of the Nelson, the Royal Frederick, the gun-boats, (Sze., &0., any Minister would dare to resist the demand.

Wetherall, Adjutant-General, resumed his duties at the Horse Guards on Monday, after attending the French camp at Chalons. THE MARRIAGE OP THE PRINCESS ROYAL —The. Net. Prussian Gazette of the 23i says :—" His Royal High ness Prince Frederick William will, according to ar rangement, proceed" to England in November, and pay a visit to the English Court on the 21st of that month, which is the birthday of her Royal Highness the Princess Royal. The wedding day is filed for the 18th January, and the 3.1 of February Is name.," as the day of their entry into Berlin," Ilia Excellency the Count TelzArewictch has arrived at the Brunswick Hottl, Jermyn-street, from the Con tinent. M. Vrolik, Minister of Finance at the Hague, has just presented tq the States General the Dutch Budget for 1858. The expenses are set down at 73,325,537 florins, and the receipts at 74,144,125 florins. The Verona Gaze‘to gives the intelligence that the per son to whom Mazzioi has, either really or fictitiously, transferred his property, and who has been introduced to public notice as Advocate B--, is no other than Advo cate Brofferio, the leader of the republican party at Turin. A letter from St. Petersburg says :—" The Military Court has just condemned to dismissal and loss of the privileges of their rank for peculation Baron Meat macher, chief of the customs district of Odessa, and Colonel Potemkin, chief of the quarantine port of that place." A committee. consisting of twelve of the principal merchants of Hamburg, ha., we learn with pleasure, been formed to collect subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers from the Hindoo insurrection, and the Borsen• hulls of that city has addressed an appeal to the public for donations. The fleet of Admiral Lard Lyon] arrived at Malta on the 1903. The Bishop of London, who has been paying a visit to his brother, the Sheriff of Clackmannanshire, has just gone on a tour t the North Highlands. The bish hag, we (Alloy Advertiser) understand, declined various requests male to him to preach. THE SHERIFFS' CHAPLAINS.—AIderman Lawrence bas appointed an Unitarian minister (Mr. Thos. Madge, of Eisex•street Chapel, Strand), to be his chaplain during the year of his shrievalty. Mr. Sheriff Allen has ap pointed as his chaplain the Rev. Thomas Grose, M.A., curate of St. Peter's Church, Cornhill. PRESENTATION OF THE NEW SHERIFFS.—This after noon, the ancient custom of presenting the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, for the approbation of her Maj"sty, was observed at the Court of Exchequer. Westminster, before Mr. Baron Channell. Fur the first time within the memory of the "oldest inhabitant" of that ancient city, the civic procession proceeded the whole distance from the City to Westminster, by land, instead of part by land and part by water. So grand a procession, with the Lord Mayor's gilded gingerbread coacb, passing along the Strand, took the inhabitants by surprise, f...r such a sight in that part of London has not been witnessed probably for up ward 4 of a century. CLOSE OF THE EXHIBITION OF ART-TREASURES.--It is now officially stated that her Majes'y will not be pre sent at the el isirg of the Exliibitien, on the 15th prox. The executive have given notice that the charge for admission on the 12th, 13i.h, and 14:h October, will be half a crown ; so that the days for the admission of the masses, at one shill ng each, are now very limited, being restricted to six days, exclusively of to-day, Oct. 2.1, 3 4th, sth, 6th, and 10th. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday.—The North Atlantio Com pany's screw steamship General Williams, Captain Flinn, arrived in the Mersey at noon to-day, from Portland and St. John's, Newfoundland, with dates from the let ter to the 19th in=t. inclusive, 30 pas en&ers and 2,00) barrels of fl)ur, as cargo. Her dates from Portland and Halifax aro anticipated. Much disappointment was felt in Newfoundland at the failure of the attempt to lay down the All sntic ca' le. INDIAN TELEGRAPH VIA TURKEY.—Sir William O'Shaughnessy ha., we understand, left England for India. He goes by way of Constantinople, where he W.ll rearain a few days in order to arrange with the Turkish Government for the construction of a telegraph from that city to Bagdad. This line will be c instructed by the Turkish Government, be under its sole control, and be connected with the East India Company's tele graph down the Persian Gulf to Kurrachee. Sir Win. O'Shaughnessy had a long interview with Lord Palmer ston previous to his departure. Parole OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 5 per mile premium, and the short exchange on London is 25.20 per 1/ sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10i p.er ounce for standard gold it appears that pH is nearly 4-10ths per cent, dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 A per mark,_and the short exchange on London is 13 4 rr 1/. sterling. Standard gold at the English ILA price is therefore about 3 10ths per cent, dearer in Hamburg than in London. Tne course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 108 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint per between the two countries, shows that the exchange is ag,ainit England ; but, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves no profit on the transmission of gold either way between the two countries. REPORTED ASSASSINATION OF SIR JAMES BROOKE.— The Bendigo Adverti er of Friday, July 17, contains the following paragraph, under the head of Melbourne News: —" We have been informed that some later intell , gerce than has reached any of the Melbourne Journals, is in the possession of a mercantile firm in this city, respect ing Thrnee. It is to the effect that there was a second rising of the Chinese there, and that during the couflict sir James Brooke was killed. If true, this will etill further intensify the strong feeling that prevails against the Chinese. Something must be done, and that quickly." Our readers are aware that there are at tlie time some 45,000 Chinese at the diggings, and that toi iisions between them and the Europeans, provoked by the latter, have occurred, and many lives have been lost. There is a feeling in the colony that steps should be taken to expel the Chinese. A letter from Madrid of the 231 says :—" The Qa , en has pardoned a municipal guard who was to have been shot for insubordination, The circumstances under which this act of clemency was decided on are curiJul, ['he sister of the condemned had caused a petition to be presented to the Qieen while on her way to the theatre. A.t the same time, when the curtain rose, Madam , : Ristori, in the character of Medea, interceded f the culprit in a few verses which she declaimed with her accustomed energy. Immediately the Queen declared o two of her Ministers, who were with her, that she was inclined to pardon the man, but nevertheless asked heir advice. They represented that this was the thir I ease of insubordination inthatcorpe, and that an exunplt. , lad become necessary ; she pleaded warmly the cause f humanity, and at length they consented. Tne Q:reen instantly wrote the pardon in her box." The ambassador )f France had given a grand banquet to Mme. Ristori. THE FORTIFICATION OF KERTCH CONTRADICTED. The Austrian Gazette stated a day or two back that the ttesshns are constructing a fortress on Mount Mithri .ates, at Kertch, to defend the entrance of the Sea of kzoff. The Austrian journal confounds Kertch with Jeni Kale. The first of these two towns is situated atthe xtremity of a bay upwards of three miles long, and is tot a strategical point ; it has consequently never been, 11(1 is not to be, deteaded. But the Russians b' Ave estored and armed anew, as they bad a right to the ortress of Jeui Kale, which is situated in the 1- .41 .„ w „t cart; of the straits, and commands theca 0 - i d . ou heir l eng th. Pl ace d i n a dominatim, thuation, this i..n - tresa ie :I.o.ci(n`, to defend the Vibrance to all Qt 44.0fe. to the &a hundred troops had arrived from China, and were being sent up towards the disturbed districts. DELHI. The people of England, who have been anxiously waiting to hear of the capture of Delhi, will be dis appointed to learn that the city is still in the pos session of the mutineers. With the small force under the command of General Wilson, an assault on the place could not be made with safety or the certainty of success ; and our operations have not, therefore, extended beyond st• engthening our position. The enemy continued to annoy our troops by repealed sorties, but were invariably driven back with great slaughter. On the Ist of August, a body of the enemy made a succession of attacks on our right front, but were repulsed on every occasion. In this affair, Captain Travers, of the Ist Punjaub Infantry, was killed, and the other casualties amounted to 10 killed and 36 wounded. The enemy afterwards kept up a fire of artillery for several days, when Lieutenant Brown, of the 33d Native Infantry, was mor tally wounded, and several other officers were hurt. The explosion of the powder manufac tory in the city, when 15,0001 b. of powder were de stroyed, is likely to cause serio`tis embarrassment to the rebels. A most successful affair took place on the 12th, when a force under Brigadier Showers surprised a battery of guns, placed between the Cashmere Gate and Metcalfe picquets, which bad for some days annoyed our outposts. Four guns were taken from the enemy, and were safely brought into camp. There were 112 killed and wounded among our men, several officers being also placed hors de combat. At the date of the latest advices from Delhi, which reach to the 121 h August, Briga dier General Nicholson's column, consihting of European troops and Sikh levies, was daily ex pected to join the force, being tht n within one day's march from the camp. Oa the arrival of these rein forcements our army would be able to assume the offensive, and, if praeticable, attempt an assault. The affair of the 12th seems to be Ltn indication that active measures are about to be taken, and it was doubt!ess a preliminary to a more arduous struggle for the mastery of the city. We have received advices from Agra to the 7th ust., when all remained quiet in the neighbourhood of that fortress. The mutineera from Neemuch and Nusseerabad, who threatened the place for some time, have retired towards Delhi, and there was no appearance of a hostile force in the vicinity. The Indote mutineers, who had reached Gwalior, were, however, reported to Le advancing in the direction of Agra, but no fen is were entertained for the safety► of the fort. The European inhabitants still remained in the fort, which was crowded to inconvenience. The Punjaub continue 3 to enjoy tranquillity, and the organisation of the Sikh regiments for service at Delhi is rapidly progressing. Tlv) 26th N. 1., which had been disarmed at Meeau Meer, the can tonment of Lahore, mutinied on the 30th July. In the attempt to maintain order, Mtijor Spencer, who commanded the regiment, the quartermaster- sergeant, and a native officer, lost their lives. The mutineers fled into the jungle, and endea voured to make their way towards Delhi, but were intercepted and cut up. Since then, parties of them have been seized in different parts of the country, and were summarily executed. Other mutinous regiments in the Punjaub hare also been dispersed and hunted down, no sympathy being shown to them by the inhabitants of the province. His Highness Maharajah Goolab Singh, Sovereign of Cashmere, died on the 2d of August of fever. To the last the Maharajah maintained the most friendly relations with the British Government, and had just arranged to furnish a strong auxiliary force for the suppression of the rebellion in the north-west provinces. The Maharajah of Puttiala, one of our feudatories in the Punjaub, has also rendered valu able assistance to the British cause; having aided in recovering the lost territories of Hissan and Sirsa. At Mooltan the native artillery have been dis armed by the Bombay Fusiliers, who have charge of the citadel. All continues quiet iu the Punjaub. We have scarcely aey intellige ncef corn Raj pootanq, where nothing of muchimportance has occurred since themutinies atNeemuchandNuieerabad.. Brigadier General Lawrence, with the forces under his com mand, is able to control the turbulent Rajpoots, who have not yet evinced any signs of hostility. There have been symptoms of disafftction in the 12th Bombay Native Infantry, forming part of the Rajpootana field force. It appears that, on the afternoon of the 10th August a trooper of the Ist Lancers passed by the Artillery lines at full gall ,p, chased by four others of the regiment: Oa arriving at the lines of the 12th N. 1., the men of that regi ment turned out to protect him, and refused to give him up. He escaped and got to his own lines, when he tried to induce the regiment to mutiny and follow him. He fired several shots at native officers, one of whom he wounded, and finding there was no response to the call, he g dlopped down to the 12th lines again. At this time the affair had become known, and the whole force turned out, with her Majesty's 83d Foot. On arriving at tie Native Infantry lines, they found the mutineer surrounded by the Native Infantry, he vebemen•ly c tiling upon them to fire upon the Europeans. They refused to give him up, but did not proceed to active violence. After refusing to obey repeated orders from the Brigadier, Col. R. Mac in, and their officers, they formed a kind of hollow square round the fellow, from the centre of which he to Ac deliberate aim with his carbine at the brigadier, and fired, but fortunately missed him. Upon this three or four of the European Horse Artillery dashed into the square and cut him down—Lieutenant Swanson giving him the coup de grace by sending a pistol bullet through him. A portion of the 12th Native Infantry were then disarmed, and on their muskets being examined, two, and in some cases three, balls were found in each piece. A fearful catastrophe, attended with heavy loss of life, has occurred at Jodhpore. The King's maga zine was struck by lightning, and 900 human beings were killed and wounded by the explosion, which also destroyed property of the value of one million pounds sterling. Since the mutiny at Dinapore several risings have occurred in various parts of Bengal, and the whole of the province seems to be in a state of alarm. The civilians at Gyab, after making pre parations for defence, retreated to Patna, leaving the treasure in charge of a company of the 64th Regieneut, which it is feitred is in danger. The Bth Native Infantry at Hazireebagh mutinied on the _ 30th of June, and liberated all the prisoners. Most of the Europeans escaped to Bagoda, but there is every reason to believe that Major Oakes was killed. The 63d Native Infantry and the 11th Irregulars were disarmed at Berhampore on the Ist of August. They were paraded at an early hour in the morn ing, and on either flank were placed two guns charged with grape, under the protection of her Majesty's 90th Regiment, which had jnat arrived at the station. The sepoys, when ordered to. give up their arms, at first made some demur, but at last yielded with a bad grace, and the arms were eventually piled and collected, and the troopers dismounted. It is said that many of the arms were found to be loaded, and that cartridges were discovered con cealed under some of the saddles of the troopers. From several other stations, the European inhabi tants, fearing a rising of the Mahomedans, were flying towards Calcutta, which was becoming crowded with fugitives from all parts of Bengal. In Calcutta itself, considerable excitement prevailed, and preparations were being made to guard against a Mussulman outbreak, which was believed to be imminent. Troops were stationed in the principal thoroughfares of the city during the Mahomedan festivals, and other precautions were adopted by Government for the preservation of the public peace. These have been attended with entire success, and the spirit which prompted them has not in any way abated its vigour. Tho police force had been in creased by 100 Europeans, and the natives of the ( North-West are looked upon with suspicion. The Governor-General's body-guard has been disarmed, but continue cheerfully to perform their duty. It is probable also that the native population will be disarmed, a measure whjch is considered necessary to the public safety. But little dread can now be felt of a rising in Calcutta, as reinforceipeuts were THE OVERLAND MAIL. THE MUTINIES IN INDIA. We have received, by Extraordivary Express, in advance of the alcove mail, our file of papers from Bombay of the 31st of August, from which we make the following important extracts : (From the Bombay Times of Aug. 31.) S lIMMARY. —During the last fortnight the aspect of affairs in India has not improved, and the in telligence which we send home by,this mail is cer tainly of a disastrous character. The flame of re bellion, which was then thought to be dying out, burns with as much fierceness as ever, and sparks from the blazing pile are lighting up the fires of discord and insurrection in the neighbourhood of the conflagration. We had at first congratulated ourselves that the armies of Madras and Bombay were staunch and loyal, and that they could be de pended on in the conflEtt with their insurgent bre thren ; but symptoms of disaffection are now being exhibited among the sepoy regiments of both the minor presidencies, which convinces us that, al though they may not break out into open mu' iny, they can scarcely be trusted to fight against their rebellious countrymen. We may yet hope, how ever, that the arrival of large numbers of European troops, of which we have received s ?veral fresh ac cessions, will confirm the wavering loyalty of those regiments still serving under cur banners, and prevent them from joining the cause of the inutineers. This is the only consolation we have under the gloomy circumstances of our present position, for the determination of the home Go vernment to send the Indian reinforcements by the Cape route instead of dispatching them overland, will postpone the day of reckoning by several months. GENERAL HAVELOCK'S COLUMN. The force under General Havelock, which had advanced from Cawnpore towards Luclinow, to render assi,ta.nce to the besieged garrison of that place, has been obliged to retrace its steps. After the brilliant victory on the 29th July at Busserut Gunge, of which we gave an account in our last Summary, the gallant general, having no cavalry to follow up his successes, and being hampered with sick and wounded, commenced a retrogade move ment towards Cawnpore, which he reached in safety. He advanced again on the 4th of August, and was met the next day by about 5000 men, whom he engaged and defeated, taking their guns. He then pushed on to the village of Busserut Gunge ; but hearing that the enemy were in considerable force in the neighbourhood of Lucknow, and feeling that with scarcely a thousand Europeans he could not cope against such fearful odds, he resolved to fall back on Cawnpore and await reinforcements. General Havelock's retreat was slow and deliberate and the enemy everywhere fled b-fore him. On the 12th August, however, they attacked him with two guns on the northern side of the river, before crossing over to Cawnpore. In this action we suffered some loss, but succeeded in capturing the enemy's gun., which the Highlanders did in gallant style. The next morning the troops crossed the Ganges, and arrived in Cawnpore, where General Havelock was to remain uLtil he could receive reinforcements from Lower Bengal. During Havelock's absence, Cawnpore had been threatened by a body of the enemy, but when General Neill advanced to meet them, they took to flight. It is evident, from all these circumstances, that Oudo is the focus of the rebellion, and that it will require a large European force to re-conquer it. The regiments which mutinied at Cawnpore and Lucknow, joined by the warlike inhabitants of the province, have been organised into some kind of order, and the country seems to swarm with hordes of rebels. It would have been madnass in General Havelock, with the diminished force under him, to have encountered the immense array of the enemy, as his troops might have been destroyed, and the safety of Lucknow and Cawnpora imporit led. No intelligence has been received from Luck now, the communication with which is cut off, bat it is supposed that the garrison is still holding out. It is said that the Goorkas from Nepaul have re lieved the besieged troops, but this may be consi dered to be doubtful. DINAPORE. The mutineers from anapere,•who were allowed to rAire from that place without molestation, al though there were 1,200 European troops in the cantonment, retreated towards the Soane, and de stroyed the railway bridge across that river. They next proceeded to Arrah, where they destroyed the bungalows, and besiegeda fortified position to which the Europeans and a small party of Seikhs had re tire 1. A native proclaimed himself Rajah at Arran, and assumed the functions of royalty. In the meantime detachments of her Majesty's 10th and 37th Regiments, consisting of 250 men, under the command of Captain Dunbar, 10th Foot, were sent in a steamer to the neighbourhood of Arrah, chastise the mutineers. This detachment fell inte an ambuscade, and was almost entirely di.stroyeil, about 140 of them having been killed. The troops were landed from the steamer in the, dark, a native having brought a false message, which the com manding officer believed, that the magistrates of Arrah had sent for relief; and shortly afterwards, without being able to protest and defend themselves, they were shot down in dozsns by the rebels, who were in ambush behind a wall. Molt of the ofiici-rs being killed, the survivors of the unfortunate party made their way towardsthe river, and succeeded in getting on board the steamer. More than 50 men were killed, and many of those who escaped were wounded. We officer and about 16 men, being separated from the other', procee led by laud to Dinapore, which they reached in safety. Amongst the officers killed wQra Captain Dunbar, her Ma jesty's 10th Foot ; Lieut. Anderson, late 22d ; Lieut. Ingilby, late 7th; Ensign Sale, her Majesty's 37the and Ensign Erskine, her Majesty's 10th Foot. The mate of the steamer and a railway volunteer wore also killed. Lieut. Sandwith, her Majesty 's 10th, Ensign Vernon, late 40th, Dr. Jackson, and Messrs. Garstin and Macdonald, volu nteers, were wounded in this melancholy affair. The rebels burg the dead bodies of the Earopeans to trees, and tarok their Enfield rifles, cartridges, and all, which many of them use]. They did not, however, long enjoy their triumph, as they have had a severe beating by Major Eyre, who attacked them at Arrab. Flo had three guns, 50 gunners, 150 of the Fusiliers, and 12 gentlemen volunteers from Buxar. The mutineers numbered about 2500 men, some of them with Enfield rifles. They fought desperately, charging the guns, but they were beaten back ; and the little garris na at Arndt, consisting of 45 Sikhs, 12 gentlemen, and a lady, were rescued by our brave little fOrce. The rebels 11 tve gone to S is scram, on the Grand Trunk Read. Some reports say that the mutineers are entrenching themselves ; others that they are marching towards the Kur rumnassee. A party of Eeropeans is going after them from Bonares. They have cut the telegrallt wire, and stopped the dak, in consequence of which our communication with Calcutta was interrupte 1 fur several days. The conduct of General Lloyd, who commanded at Dinapore when the • mutiny occurred, and who is indirectly -responsible for the disaster at Arrah, has been severely criticised by the Indian press. The Supreme Government have also taken notice of his conduct, having.suspended him from command, and he is also, it is said, to be brought to trial for letting the mutineers escape. The system, however, which places incapable and imbecile men, who ought to be on the retired list, in important commands in India, is chiefly a t fault ; and unless a radical change is made by swee p ing it away, no good can arise from the p rosecution of individuals after the misclii I has been done. Sir James Outram, who has been again nominated Chief Commissioner in Oude, has het.'n a ppointed to the Dinapore coaimand pro tem. ; ip aa rj will ,11 ` ) doubt, discomfit the matinee's, as sev6nr'e-e'll daily arriving from Madras and China. The steamer Shannon, with Lord E►gin ou board, anchored at Calcutta on7th Aug., bringing 1,700 troopi and Ma. rifles from Hong-Kong. This is a valuable accession to the European force in Bengal, and will enable Government to despatch aid to Cawnpore and Luck now. The Hon. J. P. Grant, a member of the Supreme Counci►, has been appointed Lieutenant ' Governor of the Central Provinces, with his head quarters at Allababad. Sir Colin Campbell, the new Commander-in-Chief, has arrived in Calcutta, and Sir Patrick Grant is expected to return to Madras shortly. Lord Canning remains at the seat of Government. Our latest advices from Cal cutta are to the 11th of August, via Madras. A letter from Aboo, dated the 11thinst:, mentions that the King of Delhi has offered to make terms with us, on the condition that 36 lakhs of rupees annually, instead of 15, as htretofore, should be SC cured to him and his successors. This proposal was of course peremptorily declined. He was in formed that nothing but unconditional surrender could be accepted. —Poonah Observer Extra, Aug. 27. THE MADRAS PRESIDENCY. There is but lictle to record from the Madras Presidency, which has been in a perfectly tranquil state. Several of the Madras regiments have Leen rent to Calcutta, and the embarkation of other troops was quietly going on. When the Bth Cavalry was proceeding to the Presidency to Em bark, a mutinous spirit suddenly displayed itself among the men, upon which the authorities dis armed them at once. Oa arriving about 26 miles from Madras, it put forth a claim for the rate of pay, hatta and pension, which existed btfoie 1857, and were more favourable to the Sepoy than the present rates. The officers referred the matter to Government, which weakly complied with tie demand of the Sepoys, who were informed to that effect. Encouraged by this success, the Sepoysnext declared that they would not march on any terms. Upon seeing the state of matte: s, the Sepoys wet e disarmed, retaining only their swords, to which they quietly submitted. Great excitement was caused in Madras by this affair, and preparations were male to resist an insurrection, which seemed to be impending. The horses of the mutineers have been despatched. to Calcutta, where they would be useful in mounting the Yeomanry, which is being formed there. THE BOMBAY PRESIDENCY. The mutiny at Kolapoor, in the Southern Mali ratta country, to which we briefly alluded in our last Summary, has been promptly suppressed, and doss not appear to have been very general in the 27th Bombay Native Infantry. Only 200 men broke out on the occasion, and robbed the treasure chest. The officers had received a timely warning and escaped to the Residency, where they assembled a body of infantry and cavalry, and prepared ti defend themselves against attack. Unfortunately, Ueutenants Norris and Heathfield, and Ensign Stubbs, of the 9.h Native Infantry, got astray from the rest of the officers, and were murdered by mutineers in the neighbeurho•td of Kolapoor. While in a state of suspense, Lieutenant Kerr, of the Southern Mahrat' a Horse, who was dispatched from Sattara with a party of soware, arrived at the Residency. Measures were immediately adopted to attack the mutineers, who bad taken up their position in a fortified quadrangle in the suburbs of the city, but the force retired without attempting to dislodge them. Some days af:erwards, Lieut. Kerr headed a storming party, and succeeded in driving the enemy out and dispersing them. Of the prisoners who were taken 21 were executed on the 19th August and 19 on the following day. Many more are undergoing their trial, and wilt doubt less meet the same fate. A detachment of Euro pean troops sent from Bombay and Poona are now located at Kolapoor, so that no fresh disturbances are likely to occur in that part of the country. At Belgaum, where martial law has been proclaimed, several Mahomedans havebeen convicted of treason and executed. A plot was discovered among the 29th Regiment Native Infantry to destroy the companies of the 2d Europeans, by attacking them on the night of their arrival at Belgaum, weary aid exhausted by their harassing march from Goa. Several arrests were made in consequence, and a few of the foremost traitors executed. Some alarm had also been felt at Dharwah, to which place a com pany of the 2d Europeans have been ordered. The wing of the 27th Regiment of Native Infantry, stationed at Rutnagherry, has been disarmed, as they were suspected of disloyalty when the other part of the regiment mutinied at K.olapoor, and 'a company of the 33d has been detached from Bom bay fcr the protection of Rutnagherry. At Mount Aboo fifty men of the Joudpoor Legion mutinied on the 21st August, and attacked the European barracks, but were driven away with some loss. They ihmi retreated towards Erinpoora, where it is feared that they will excite their comrades to mutiny. The other stations of the Bombay Presi dency have been comparatively tranquil, but a general feeling of insecurity seems to prevail throughout the interior. In Bombay the panic which existed about a fortnight ago has gradually subsided, and a feeling of confidence pervades the community. A compae.y of European Ar tillery have arrived from Bushire, and the remainder of her Majesty's 33d Regiment from the Mauritius. These troops have been sta tioned in Bombay for the present, until the ex citement in the Mohurrurn passes 'away, and Vie public mind is reassured. Christians of all deno tninations observed a day of humiliation and prayer in connection with the present disturbances, and the natives of Bombay also set apart a (lay for the same purpose. The weather is now very favour able, and the heavy rains during the last month have given us a plentiful supply of water for next season. The fall up to the 29th of August was upwards of 60 inches. The monsoon may now be considered as ended, and traffic with the western ports has been resumed. The Governor is at the Presidency, but the Commander-in-Chief has re- - turned to Poonah, to superintend the formation of another moveable column of troops, 'for service in the North-West Provinces. COMMERCIAL. The tone of our import market loka rather im proved in some articles, though not generally ; the business transacted dining the fortnight has DO I ". been to any greater extent than last reported. A further improvement in the money market is to be noticed, the banks having again loivered their rates of interest one per cent, all round ; no im provement in Government securities ; and foigh's have slightly declined. (FROM THE CORRESPONDENT OF THE DAILY NEWS BOMBAY, SEPT. 1. Letters from Delhi, dated Aug. 12, state that the battle of that day was the best that has taken place before the city. During the night and the morning of the 13th, several unsucce3s ful attacks were made on our picquuts. General Cortlandt was at Halal on the 7th of Aug., and would have to engage a large body of insurgents of the 4th and 9th Native luf.ntry and 14th Irregulars and Hurriana Contingent Infantry, strongly. entrenched, 14 miles south west of Hansi, in the Ranghur village of Jumul p oor. All well .at Agra up to the 11th inst. Latest news from Calcutta of the 12th. The Native Artillery at Darn .Durn has all been disarmed. All the steamers from Calcutta to Suez have been prepared for the reception of troops, in the event of such coming overland. From the South Mahratta country I hear that the Raja of Akulkote, a short distance from Sho lepore, has raised the standard of reb=llion, and has already 20,000 men at his back. If ais turn out true, we shal have heavy work to do in that quarter, as at this point and on the line between it and Beezapore all the malcontents of the Nizam'S territory will rally. GEN. HAVELOCK'S OPERATIONS. BATTLE OF ROSSER-UT GUNGE. The folowing is a copy of General _Haveloch's despatch, describing his operations against the enemy on the 29th July : " Camp, Busserut Gunge, July 30, 1857. " I marelvd yesterday and came up with the enemy at Oonas. The town was flanked by es extensive swamp, and the position defended by 15 guns. The inundation prevented any turning move ment, and I attacked the place, captured all the guns, and put the enemy to flight. The troops from Lacknow in our front were aided by a cAmiderable detachment of the Nana's force from Futtelipore Chowrassee which was on our left flank, commanded by Jussa Sing. I halted four hours in the extreme 'eat of the day, and then marched on this town, which is also surrounded by water. Four pieces of annou were mounted on its old-fashioned gates led towers. The road at the entrance of the town ad been destroyed and the gate strongly bark i aded. I had no sappers, so after a cannonade [ a saulted and took the place with all its guns. Eire enemy will not await any close contact with ary troops, excepting behind wall. Their lose this day has on that account been heavier than u-ual ; mine al , o is severe-88 killed and wounded. " At Oonas the 6oldier most distinguished was private Patrick Cavanagh, H M.'s 134th Regiment. ITo was cut to pieces'by the enemy while showing a brilliant example to his comrades. Had he sur vived., I should have recommended him for the Victoria Cross. I trust a grateful Government ill pension his relations. "Die Madras Fusiliers were particularly distin guished. Major Stevenson selects Lieut. Danger field as most conspicuous. He was the first on the barricade at this place. Lieut. Bogle of the 78th Highlanders was severely wounded whilst leading the way at Oonas into a loopholed house filled with desperate fanatics. I would desire that he should be specially recommended to his Royal Highness the Genet al Commanding in Chief. "My staffgave me glorious support. Col. Tytho, hardly able to sit upon his hone from indisposition, iet an example to the whole force for activity and daring. Lieut. Havelock, Deputy Assistant Adju" taut General, had a horse shot under him ; and raY acting aide-de camp, Lieut. Seton, Madras Fusl" Tiers, was severely wounded. " I have captured an entire field battery of guns ; but without cavalry, I cannot secure horses or equipments. "1 must not overlook my Volunteers, who fit" prove, however, every day. (Signed) "H. HAVELOCK, Brigadier-Gen." Our correspondent goes on to say fiat there wa s ~.ne officer killed, Lieut. Richardson, of the Madras ,Fusiliers. The killed of the 78th Highland , rs are Sergeant Mark Mallet, and Privates Francis Burns, Hennesy, and Morris. Wounded—Lieut. Bogle, severely in the arm, and Privates Connell, Henson' Johnston, Gavison, redden, Halliday, Whiteman. tn d Greig, and Corporal Sparrow. The guns takell were those described in Gen. Havelock's telegram to the Governor-General, in another place.—Po° l6 Observer, Aug. 15. The Poonah Observer publishes the following i ll ' t rlligence, in an extra dated the 17th inst.:—" . 41 ! .fficer at this station has kindly furnished us w ith the news that two officers and two men of the he roic garrison' of Cawnpore have been recovered. The names of the two officers are Lieutenants rhoms.m. and Delafoise, of the 53d Bengal Na't ° Infantry ; the men's names are not mentioned. We (Poonah Observer) have been very kindly favoured with the perusalof a latter from Cawnpore, dated so late as thA3th inst., from which we learn that General H avelock, after having had a sever s right with the enemyon t'm 12th, in which be t° °l two guns, with some loss on our side, crossed the Ganges on the morning of the 13th, and returned o Cawnpore, where he will await the arrival of re inforcements. The following is an extract fru° this letter, which is written by a gallant non-coin' inissioned officer of the brava 78th Highlandergt who has been present in every action which the re' bell fought by General Havelock : "Here I am again safe and sound at Cawnpore, after a most severe fight yesterday with our old enemies the sepoy mut neers, in which we had three men kill ed and 10 wounded ;—one young man had his leg blown awe * : Mere were only 120 of the 78th Highlanders preiell't, the remainder being sick.

A great many fel lowers were cut to pieces by the enemy's cavalry and round silt toere were two guns playing on the 7814 which would no doubt have destroyed every man of us but for our timely resolution—a desperate one, no doubt, but it had to be done, or all would have perished beneath the leadly fire. General Havelock was calmly looking on he knew well abet we desired ; and before he gave the order to advance all rushed forward at the charg e, and in less than five minutes captured two guns and fou r h uses, bayoneting a number of the enemy who tried tc! save the guns (two brass nine-pounder.).
