TO the ELECTORS of the COUNTY of MIDDLESEX. GENTI%MrJ,—A telegraphic message, announcing the re tirement of Lord R. Grosvenor, reached me in Germany, and has caused me to return to England with all possible expedi tion, and at once to declare myself a candidate for the high honour of representing that great and important constituency with which my name and family have been associated for up wards of a century. Let me, however, rest my individual claims for your support upon the principles and votes which havemaintained and given during the five years I have sat in Parliament. During that period I have supported the Re moval of the Jewish Disabilities, the Total Abolition of Church Rates, the adoption of the Vote by Ballot, the Ad mission of my Dissenting fellow-subjec's to the advantages of our University Education, and all measures tending to promote and secure, in its best and highest acceptation, the great principle of Civil and Religious Liberty. The usual limits of an address would be exceeded were I to express at any length nay views upon the all-important question of Par liamentary Reform. lam most anxious that the Franchise should be fairly and honestly extended, commensurately with the growing intelligence cf the people ; and any well-digested scheme, having for its object the removal of existing anoma lies in our representative system shall have my warmest sup port. Under this head I may class the property qualifica tion now required of Member; of Parliament, the repeal of which, as proposed this session by Mr. Locke King, I cor dially supported. The engrossing topic of the day is, however, the unhappy state of our Indian Empire:" All classes of politicians must unite in one comm rn feeling of horror and grief at the recital of atrocities almost unparalleled in the history of mankind ; and I sl all, if returned by you to Parliament, most heartily . support Lord Palmerston's Government, or any Administra tion, in such prompt and vigorous measures as may be deemed advisable to quell the existing mutinies, to punish the guilty perpetfutors of those deeds of blood, and to re-establish our authority and dominion upon a firmer and more du:able basis. I shall, however, watch with a jealous eye the public ex penditure, and rigidly scrutinise every proposal which has reference to the burdens of taxation. No one can feel more sensibly than I the weighty responsi bilities which must attach to him who is selected to represent the various and important interests of the Metropolitan County, and if the trust which I seek is committed to my care, I will devote my time and talents to its faithful and conscientious discharge. In yonr bands I leave the issue of acceptance or rejection. I have the honour to be Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, GEORGE BYNG. Wortliam Park, llarnet, August 27, 1857. MIDDLESEX ELECTION.

On the 9th of July the mutineers left 1,000 of their numbers on the field and must have lost many more in the sub sequent encounters referred to in the despatch. Large detachments had necessarily been left to protect Jullunder, Loodianah, Dugshaie, Subat tehoo, Kossawlie, Umballa, Meerut, and Phillour. The attack of the Neemuch mutineers, about which so much confusion prevailed in the tele graphic depatches, took place before Agra. Our side consisted chiefly of volunteers. They were, however, overwhelmed by numbers, and being without cavalry, were unable to follow up the temporary advantage. Hence the loss of 49 killed and 92 wounded out of the party of 500. The remainder of the Europeans, however, continued to take refuge in the fort. The cantonments were destroyed. In our impression of yesterday we gave the names of the officers and civilians who had fallen in the unequal contest-500 men against more than 10,000. At Mhow and Indore there seems to have been undue confidence in the fidelity of the troops. The massacre was occasioned thereby. However, many officers and ladies took shelter in a fortified square at Mhow, held by Captain HUNGERFORD'S battery of Europeans. At Indore, Col. DURAND and his surviving officers succeded in effecting their escape, protected by some faithful compa nies of the Bheel Corps. However, Brigadier STUARTS'S corps, the Bombay moveable column, was marching on the town, and would speedily effect a prompt settlement of the question. It is satisfactory to know that Holkar has remained firm through every difficulty. There has been a fearful amount of murder, rapine, and spoliation of every description. We trust, however, that with the blessing of Provi dence, we may soon be enabled to suppress the insurrection, and inflict well-merited punishment on the mutineers. Madras and Bombay remain tranquil. From the great pressure on our space we aro compelled to refer our readers tl the general ac counts respecting other districts. We have, however, already explained the most interesting and important points. England must now look India and its difficul ties in the face. Fearful as the present tempest may be, nothing less, we fear, would have been sufficient to compel the attention of the middle classes of England to the claims of our Empire Colony. We should have suffered our aristocracy and the East India Company again to cheat us with the juggle of a double government, con structed solely to ♦eil mismanagement and keep Indian business an impenetrable mystery. The Premier, Mr. VERNON SMITE, and Mr. MANGLES have now obtained indeed a six months' license ; but if parliamentary questioning and supervision be wanting, the profound personal interest of so many English families, combined with the English press, will, in some measure supply its place. It is almost like the slaying of the first-born, for where is the town, the village almost, or even the family which is not intereAcd, or anxious about, some one in India or going thither. Letters will be arriving in thousands by every mail, and many of these, if of importance, will find their way to the newspapers. We, as journalists, owe it indeed to the public, now, to publish freely all communications that may reach us, since in India itself Editors write under a Gagging Act. Not only the native edi tors, whose miserable productions had been openly disloyal, are thus placed in fetters, but English gentlemen, who had supported vigorously England and the English—had supported, too, the general policy of the Government, and had only criticised fairly particular acts, with the measure of freedom necessary to render their nriti3ll,l of any value t) the Government itself, to the Anglo-Indian com munity, and to us here at home—must write under a license which may be withdrawn in an hour; with drawn without even one of Louis NAPOLEON'S warnings. We certainly think a more unwise step could hardly have been taken ; and the first fruits of it are apparent enough. The Friend of India was warned-for an article which we have read carefully through, and we are confident that no ingenuity can honestly extract from it evidence of hostility to the Government, or of injurious tendency on the native mind. It was, in fact, as a whole, a manly assertion that our general course with India and its worthless puppet rulers was just what it ought to be. The Editor is naturally indignant at the timidity of a Government which shrinks from saying boldly to the natives—Oar Acts have been right, we will not reverse them. It is but the self-same timidity and consequent trimming to the Brahmin Sepoys of the Bengal army which have emboldened them to mutiny, that has placed the Anglo-Indian press under censorship, because it was necessary to coerce the villainous Native press. The Editor, therefore, in a scathing article, takes leave of political discussion for the next three months. We cannot wonder at his irritation. How should we ourselves feel, to be interdicted by the popular party—whose measures we criti cise, to be sure, but on the whole vigorously sup port—from political discussion. We should be compelled to despise friends who could not endure friendly, even if occasionally sharp criticism, for the sake of our general and hearty support. The truth is we must, as we have already said, look facts in the face. We are conquerors in India, and we cannot govern but as conquerors. We may make our rule as mild as we please, but firm we must be. We may render it attractive to the numerous tribes and races who had been maltreated and robbed by unprincipled con querors, but we must make it respected by all. Never did a country offer .a finer opportunity than India for obtaining all the native forces we can need on the best possible t)rms. Numerons small but warlike tribes are ready from habit, almost from creed, to be loyal mercenaries, sin gular as the expression may seem to an Eigliah man. The Swiss, however, understand it even in Europe. And throughout the Eliudoo popu lation the army presents to the low castes, the despised and contemned of the Brahmins, the means of elevation to equality with his despiser, if not of superiority over him. The conquering race is naturally the fount tin of honour ; it is so unquestionably in the eyes of Orientals. By ac cepting and elevating the oppressed castes, through admission into the army we should at once erns') our worst antagonist, the casts system, and attach to us those who had been sufferers by it. In the Madras and Bombay armies where this system has been pretty much carriel out we see that the troops continue faithful, and we only hope that the long impunity of so many of the Bengal Brahmin Sepoys may not at 13ngth stir up rebellious thoughts further smith. Of the general principle to be adopted we feel no doubt what:ver. We have the Government by conquest. The strong hand got it and the strong hand must keep it. In the Northern Provinces we must rely only upon a large majority of English forces, and they must be liberally furnished. The castes and races of unquestion ablefidelity we may gradually recruit:from ; but we Ithink it very doubtful whether a single additional native of the caste which has pro ved itself disloyal should ever be allowed to enter the army again. ' The Brahmins were once the supreme race in India—they will never thank us for our rule, and they ought never to have arms in their hands. Their importance has been chiefly sustainel by their position in the army; they ought henceforth to be kept out of it, and they will thus sink beneath the power to do mischief. To the Mussulmen, the instigators of the mutiny, and smarting under our rule as the conquerors whom we con quered, the same remarks to a considerable extent apply also. We must keep, our power in India, so far as the army is concerned, not by pet ting the Mussulman and Brahmin aristocracy, but by elevating those whom they despise. We must create our own aristocracy, and rigidly administer justice to all. After all it is our own island that must be our reliance. If we have but thirty millions here to enlist from, against the 100,000,000 of India, one English soldier is worth more than three natives —worth three times three more probably. 14- taining the Artillery wholly in European hands, giving the predominance in strength to the Euro pean infantry, and employing only thcse diverse tribes and classes of the natives whose position and interest insured their &tali+ y, our power would be not only secure, but it would never be assailed again. We should then have full leisure to carry out those social ameliorations, in regard to law, the administra tion of justice, irrigation, railroads, and every thing which facilitated the introduction of English capital, energy, and civilization irto India, on which the future welfare of India tnquestionably depends. As to Christianity, we believe with NAPIER, that under such a regime it mint, though that is not the object of Government, drive out Hindooism, simply because truth and sense must beat supersitition and nonsense. LATEST NE WS. THE OVERLAND MAIL. THE MUTINIES IN INDIA. We have received our advices in anticipation 0 the Overland Mail. The dates hre—Caleutta, July 28 ; Bombay, July 30 ; Hung-Kong, July 10. The following is the summary of the Bombay Times of July 30 : During the last fortnight the career of rebellion has remained unchecked throughout India, except at Futtehpore, where the mutineers under J>.laua Saheb have been thrice defeat al by the British troops. On the morning of the 17th instant, General Havelock, who left Ailahabad with about 2,000 Europeans, consisting of the 64th Regiment, 78th Highlanders, Madras Fusiliers, and a com pany of Royal Artillery, attacked and totally defeated the insurgents, capturing eleven guns, and scattering their forces in utter confusion in the direction of Cawnpore. By two harassing marches he had joined Major Renaud's advanced column three hours before daylight, and arrived about eight o'clock four miles from Futtehpore, where he encamped. The enemy advanced out of Fut'ehpore, and opened fire upon a recounoissanee under Colonel Tytler. General Havelock mirch-2cl with eight guns in the centre tinier Capt. Maud , Royal Artillery, forming the whole of the infantry in quarter distance column in support. Captain Maude's fire electrified the enemy, who abandoned gun after gun, and were then driven by our skir mishers and columns through garden enclosures, and the streets of Futtehpore, in complete con fusion. This splendid victory was gained without a single casualty on the side of the British, not a man being touched by the fire of the enemy. The enemy's strength was said to have been two regi ments *of cavalry, three of infantry, and eleven guns, which were all captured. After this battle General Havelock continued his victorious progress towards atwnpor3, which he re-occupied, after having beaten the enemy three times, and cap turing twenty-six guns. Nana Saheb, the rebel leader, had fled to Bithoor, which is about eight or ten miles distant from Cawnpore, and we have no doubt that General Havelock would follow the treacherous Mahratta up to that place. These glorious successes are dimmed by a fright. ful tragedy which has occurred at Cawnpore, where Sir Hugh Wheeler and a small band of Europeans had long held out against fearful odds. It appears from the conflicting reports published regarding this melancholy catastrophe, that after Sir Hugh Wheeler was killed the force at Cawnpore accepted the offer of safety made by Nana Saheb and the mutineers. The treacherous miscreant, however, whose hands were already stained with the blood of the luckless fugitives frcm Futtyghur, opened fire on the boats in which the party were allowed to enter, and destroyed them all. °deer accounts state that the wives and children of the officers and sol diers, con-isting of 240 persons, were taken into Cawnpore, and sold by ~..), public auction, when, aftt r being treated with the highest indignities, they were barbarously slaughtered by the inhabitants. There is, notwithstand in g , a faint hope that some few have escaped the general massacre, as it is said t'iat Nana Saheb hae more than a hundred Euro pean prisoners in n his whom he intends to hold as These hands, hesean probably the remains of General Wheeler's force at Cawnpore. Such atrocities as those committed by Nana Saheb are almost unpar)lleled in the history of the world, but we hope tee punishment foe his crimes will not be long deferred. Lucknow still hell out atthe date of the latest advices, but its heroic defender the brave and noble minded Sir Heery Lawrence, is no more. The in telligence of the death of this gallant officer has reached Bombay from Lucknow, and bee caused universal regret, as the event is truly regarded as a national loss in the present crisis. He was wounded in a sortie ag dust the enemy on the 2d July, and died of lockjaw on the 4th idem. The garrison nothing daunted by the death of their intrepid leader, continued to bold out against the hordes of niutineers who surrounded them, and it is expected that they will maintain their groand until relieved by General Havelock. Major Banks hail assume' the command of the garrison, which continued in the highest spirits. The capture of Delhi has not yet been ac complished, and seems to be as far off as ever. The enemy made several sorties and attacked the British forces, but were a'ways repulsed with heavy loss. On the Ot!t, the muti neers assailed our right roar in force, but were driven back into the city, leaving 1,000 dead on the field. Several other atteurps were made to turn the British position, but fai!erl. Sir Henry Barnard, C. 8., Commander of the Forces, died in the Britis'i camp before Delhi oa the sth July, of cholera. He has been succeeded in the command by General Reel,who acted with so much decision and in.lgmeut in the Punjaub on the first outbreak of Vie mutiny. The latest intelligence from Delhi is the 14th instant, wlvn everything remained in the same state as heretofore. An officer in the camp, writing on that date, says, "We are doing nothing hero towards taking Delhi, and are merely ii( - fending ourselves against s(xties of the enemy. We have pirts of five European regiments, but can mus , er only 2,000 EUropcans for any effective att ref:, large detachments from each regiment hav ing been left to ptot,2ct Jidlunder, Loodianah, Dugshaie, Subathoo, Umballo, Meerut, and Phillo . or. In fact, t4uall tb-tAchments only of .each regiment have joined us. The enemy are far superior to us in artillery.' This shows the ne cessity for the prompt dispatch of large reinforce ments from England, and we fear that nothing can be done to Et.ur the tide of sedition until the ar deal of fresh troops in this country. At Aga matters have approached a crisis. The close neighhourhood of the Na3much and Nusseer abad mutineers, who encamped about 20 miles from the city, compelled the European residents to alma- don the cantonments and take refuge in the fort. The garrison consisted of the 3d Bengal Europeans and a battery of artillery, besides which a corps of volunteers, about 500 strong, was raised from among the Christian population. The rebels having ap proached the city, with the evident object of plun dering the cantonments, the troops in the fort marched out to attack them on the sth July, when a battle ensued, in which the British suffered con siderable loss. Our troops, who had no cavalry to support them, after having beaten the enemy, were obliged to retire into the fort, in consequence of their supply of ammarition having filed through the explosion of the tumbrils. There were 49 Europeans killed and 92 wounded in this affair, out of a total force of about five hun dred men engaged. The mutineers, after the battle, destroyed nearly all the houses in the cantonment, in which they were assisted by the budmashes of the city, and the prisoners liberated rora the gaol. The Europeon inhabitant 3, how . .. ever, had previously taken refuge in the Fort, which prevented a general massacre from taking place, the only people kille I outside being Major Jacob, formerly in • Scindiah's servica, and Mr. Hubbard, of the Agra College. Captain D'Oyly, of the Bengal Artillery, was mortally wounded in the action on the sth inst., and six gentlemen be- longing to the militia were also killed, one of whom was Monsieur Jourdan, the celebrated equestrian performer., The details of the mutiny at Mhow and Indore, and the massacre at the layer place, where about 40 Europeans were cruelly murdered, have been re ceived since our last summary. Bloolshed might have been prevented if precautions had been taken earlier, as at Saugor and Nagpore ; but. Col. Platt, commanding the station, had implicit confidence in the fidelity of his men, and believed them to be quite staunch to the last moment. So infa tuated was he in this belief, that he actually left the fort for the purpose of haranguing the men of the 23d N. 1., but paid with his life the penalty of 4is , blindness. Major Harris, commanding the Ist Light Cavalry, and Capt. Fagan, Adjutant of the 23d Native Infantry, were also murdered, but ;he rest of the officer 3 and ladies took refuge in a for. tified square, which was held by Capt. Hungerford's battery of Europeans. At Indore, the Residency was a►tacked by Holkar'e disaffected troops, joined by the rabble of the city, but Colonel Durand, the Resident, and the rest of the officers of his suite, succeeded in making their escape, protected by some faithful companies of the Bheel Corps. Many Europeans were butchered in the city, and among them was Mr. Ross McMahon, a civil engineer, who took a contract for several public works under the Maharajah of ludore. Holkar's Mutinous troops, joined by the disaffected regiments from Mhow, after looting the treasury, proceeded on to Gwalior, and will doubtless endeavour to make their way .to Delhi. Holkar has remained firm in his adherence to the British Government, and has not been pre vailed on to join the general insurrection. The Bombay moveable column, under the command of Brigadier Stuart, is advancing towards Indore, so that we may soon hear of the restoration of tran quillity in Central India. On the 9th July, Vie troops at Sealkote, in the Punjaub, consisting of a wing of the 9th Light Cavalry, and the 46th N. 1., broke out into open mutiny, and after murdering several persons, and doing all the injury in their power, in the destruc tion of houses and property, &c., left the station in a body for the eastward, taking with them carriage!, buggies, Sta. The persons ascertained to have been killed are the following :—Capt. Bishop, 46th N. I.; Dr. ,Graham, superintending surgeon ; Dr. Gra ham, medical storekeeper ; Rev. Mr. Hunter, wife Ind child. Brigadier Brind has also been wounded. All the others appear to be safe in the fort, includ ing the families of the drummers ; and of the ladies and children who escaped, several were escorted to the fort by Sepoys who remained faithful, or by Sowars, who, after leaving them, returned to the 'wit of the mutineers. Dr. and Mrs. Butler, who were at first supposed to have been killed, have since arrived at the Fort of Sealkote with their family, also Mr. and Mrs. Saunders and their childr, n, and 21 sick Europeans belonging to her Majesty's 52d Foot. The Sealkote mutineers, who took the rou , e towards Delhi, managed to crossthe Ravee at a ford near Trimmoo Puttun, early on the 12th inst. They were attacked by Brigadier-General Nicho!son, at noon, and after a brief struggle, driven back across the river, leaving a quantity of their baggage and plunder in our hands. Their casualties are estimated at 200 in. killed and wounded, and our loss at 6 men killed and 25 wounded. From Ilyderabad (Deccan), the capital of the Nizam's dominions, we learn that a serious rising occurred in that city on the 18th July. About 4,000 budmasbes, led by 300 Rohillas, marched upon the Residency to demand the release of the Jemadar of the Ist gizam's Cavalry, who had been caught and delivere 1 over to the Resident by Salar Jung. Major Davidson acted with much decision, and opened fire upon the rabble from several guns, which caused them to disperse. Several of the Rohillas and others were killed, and many of them made prisoner's by the Nizam's mer eenaries. The leader of the Rohillas, who was mortally wounded, 'was afterwards captured. The sity has since remained quiet. To prevent any tut ther outbreaks of the turbulent Rohillas, who are eelieved to be ripe for sedition, the wing of the 12th Lancers, stationed at Kirkee, has been ordered to Hyderabad, and is now en route towards that espi al. A'fild force, consisting of several regiments of the Hyderabad Contingent, under the command of Major W. A. Orr, is being formed on the north ern frontier of the Nlizem's dominions, and will act in conjunction with the Bombay moveable columns, to put down revolt in Central India, A plot was discovered on the 3)th June last to create an insurrection at Nagpore, but throughthe precautions taken by the authorities, it proved un- . successful, and the ponspirators were brought to' justice. Teree native officers, who were convicted of mutiny, were hanged by sentence of court-mar tial. No disturbance has since taken place, and the province is perfeetly tranquil. The mutiny at Sanger, to which we alluded in our last summery has been unatt nded with blood shed, the Europeans having secured themselves in the fort before the outbreak occurred. Part of the mutirious regiments also remained faithful, and eided in repelling the assaults of their evil-disposed comrades. In the massacre at Jhansi, on the Bth June, most of the European residents perished, the local Ma homedan authorities having, with the aid of the mutinous sepeys, massacre! them with the usual atrocities. There were 55 of them in all, including time ladies and children, who were all ruthlesity murdered. The Punjaub still reina'ns tranquil, which is due to the wise manaugemeut and prudent foresight of Sir John Lawrence, tee Chief Commissioner, who has-acted w.th consummate wisdom through these troubleus times. The organisation of Sikh levies, byth of horse and foot, is progressing favour ahly throughout the country, and General Van Courtlandt's force is doing good service oa 'he frontiers of Rejpoetana. With the excep tion of the mutiny at Sealko:e, no outbreak of any Consequence has occurred in the Punjaub. Thn native pepuletiou 'of the large towns has been dis armed by order of the chief commissioner, a measure which will greatly increase the public security. Throughout the North-Western Provinc2S and Upper. Bengal, murder, rapine, and spoliation are the order of the day. We are c _instantly sickened by the recital of tales of wholesale slaughter, in w hich unoffending women and children have not been spared by the fiendish monsters who sought their lives. Those who are fortunate enough to ese :Lee h tve of course Le'eu utterly runes, while many of the weaker sex are perhape deprived of their natural protectors, and must therefore be objects of pity and commiseration. This feeling has shown itself throughout the more favoured provinces 'of India, which have been exempt from the fearful calami ties which have laid was's) this fair land, and diets are accordingly made to rel.eve the immediate wants of the unfortunate sufferoes. Subscription Lets have been opened iu Cal cutta, Madras, Bombay, Scinde, and the Punjeub, and conlributions to the relief fund are rapidly eccumulat:nsf, and will to fer warded to Calcut a acid other par's, tied applie 1 to the humane purpose f which they have been collected. In Bombay, all classes have joined in the demonstration, ant the natives seem to vie with their European brethren iu subscribing towards this object. I Wu have no iouht that, when the extent of suffering cause 1 by these mutinies beeomes generally, known in EUV.- laud, the same sprit will animate the British pub lic, who will genc - ously come forward to assist their unfortunate countrymen, and b e reaved coun trywomen. At Calcutta every thing is quiet, and confidence is being rest2red by the arrival of the tioops des- LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1857. The Overland Mail has just come to hand. It arrived by the Vectis at'MarseilleP, at 7 p.m., on Thursday. C l pious extracts will be found in another part of our impression, giving the melan choly details of the fearful scenes enacted in the disaffected districts. The dates are—Calcutta, July 28th ; thmbay, July 30th ; and Hong Kong, July 10th. The intelligence it contains is of a truly de plorahle character. It is not only positively as certained that Cawnpore had fallen into the hands of the miscreant NENA SAHIB, but that after the garrison, pressed by famine, had capitulated, un- der the most solemn assurances of safety, these pledges were immediately violated. Not only were the fighting men and civilians butchered in cold blood, but helpless women and children were destroyed under circumstances of the most revolt ing cruelty. Two hundred and forty of these innocent victims were first sold by public auction in the town, where, after being treated with the most terrible barbarity and indignity, they were slaughtered by their new masters, whose cruelty exceeded their avarice. There is a faint hope that some may have had a temporary respite, as it was reported that NENA SAHIB had retained about 100 hostages in his hands in order to enable him to make terms with the Government. We fear, however, that if such be the case their fate is even more deplorable than that of their companions in misery, and that they may envy those who had previously perished. The atrocious ruffian who had murdered the fugitives from Futtyghur would not be likely to leave any prospect of escape for those who had the misfortune to fall within his power. He would only retain them as a means of safety for himself, and when that prospect faded, as un doubtedly will be the case, he would before his own downfall satiate his diabolical malevolence to the most fearful extent. The prospect would be dark, indeed, but for the brilliant conduct of the gallant HAVELOCK, and the troops under his command. He bad started from Allahabad with about 2,000 Europeans, consisting of the 64th, the 78th Highlanders, the Madras Fusiliers, and a com pany of_ the Royal Artillery. By two haras sing marches he had joined Major RENAUD'S advanced column about three hours before day light on the morning of the 17th ult., and ar rived about eight o'clock four miles from Futteh pore, where he encamped. The rebels advanced from the town which they had previously occu pied, assuming the initiative in the contest. The splendid management of the Artillery (eight guns, under Captain MAUDE, R.A.), soon destroyed their confidence. They abandoned gun after gun, and speedily took to flight. They were pursued through garden enclosures and the streets of Futtehpore. It was a complete panic, and the most remarkable circum stance connected with the affair was that there was not a single casualty amongst the Bri tish troops—not one killed or even wounded. Eleven guns were there taken, in addition to the twenty-six that subsequently were captured on the re-occupation of Cawnpore. Previously to the arrival of the troops at Cawnpore two other bat tles had taken place, and with similar results in each instance. The cowardly murderer who had committed such unparalleled atrocities did not make head!in a single instance against a force of armed men. He had fled up the Bithoor, some eight or ten miles from Cawnpore, and has, pro bably, already received the exemplary pueish• rnent which his crimes so justly merited. It is difficult to understand how any reliance could have been pieced in the promises of such a demon. It would appear that Sir HUGH WHELER had previously fallen, and that the garrison, em barrassed by the number of fugitives and , woruen and children, had been reduced to a state of ab solute starvation. Tney therefore unfortunately accepted the treacherous overtures, not being sufficiently strong to have the slighteet prospect of extricating themselves from their desperate condition. We know the sad results—and NeeTA SAHIB will discover, to his cos', that they will not be disregarded by any Englishwar. He has de s t roye d the chance of escape, and will ever more fight with a rope about his neck, as an outlaw, with whom th ere can b e no com p rom ise. It was o n th e 21 July that Sir IT. LAWRENCE received the Wounds a afterwaris dep r i ve tht e r , u n a e t k io n n ow of w o h n i e ch o f t two ta d : ys e: distinguished heroes. Ti,e garri son , h owever, cei i tinned firm under the comm an d of m Ljor BANK,;, and there was every reason to hope that they could maintain their position until relieved by - General HAVELOCK. At Delhi the rebels had made several sorties, but all in vain. Although thera wore not aut36.- ef out troops to huml a general assault, there were. sufficient to maintain their position, and repeg AUGUST 29, 1 Fyn S 7 . I trAtOW;:. td for ta. Theft Fu: d in the Srfv Lsileers, from the Mau arriv, ..t.tomn ; and we learn by elec tric telegra . Madras, that tkie Rimalaya, with her Ma '9oth Regiment on board, had anchored in the Hooghly. This reinforcement will enable us to hold our ground in Bengal, and relieve Lucknow, but it is not sufficient to settle other parts of the country, or advance towards Delhi from the Eastward. The European inhabitants had cheer fully embodied themselves into a corps of voluu tePrs, which greatly contributed towards the public seety. Since the arrest of the K.ng of Oude the Government were on the alert, and the malcontents who formerly plotted the overthrow of our rule have been quite disconcerted. The Gover ner-General is at Calcutta, and Sir P. Grant, the Provincial Commander-in-Chief, is likewise there. Nothing is stirring in the Madras Presidency, and Southern India seems to repose in unbroken security. The army is believed to be faithful to the Government, and the breath of suspicion does not rest upon is unshaken loyalty. At Madras, where a panic was for some time prevalent, the European community have enrolled themselves al volunteers and•are being organised as a military body. The Hiudoo and Mahomedan inhabitants had presented an address to government, expressive of ih-ir at tachment to the British Jule and abhorrence of the frightful atrocities committed by the mutineers. In reply they were thanked f..r their sentim•mts of loyalty, which they were requested to gene rally kuown. Subscriptions had been openel for the relief of the sufferers in Bengal, as well as for the families of the Ist Madras Fusiliers, many of whom had fallen while serving again6t the mu ineerx. Tne Bombay presidency, though sometimes dis turbed by unnecessary panics, is in a state of perfect tranquillity. At Ahmedabad, during the last fortnight, about seven troopers of the Guzerat Irregular Horse attempted to raise the standard of revolt, but they were promptly pursued by the Commandant, Captain Taylor, who shot two of them, and took the rest pri , oners. They have been tried and condemned, and it is likely they will expiate their crime on the gallows. An emeute occupied at Punderpoor, a sacred town near Sholapoor, in which the Mamlut dar, or native magistrate, was killed, but this has led to no serious result. Some engineers of the Ba roda railway, stationed at that place cre=sted un necessary alarm by precipitately deserting the station, and hastily making off to Surat, declaring that a large body of insurgents were marching to wards the Guicowar's capital. Their childish fears, however, have only made them the laughing stock of the public, or no apprehension is felt of a dist tar ance in Guzerat. A. portion of the G walior Contin gent, which garrisoned the fortree of Asst erghur, being suspected of entertaining mutinous designs, were quietly marched out and disarmed, and some of the ringleaders have been executed. Another moveable column of troops, under the command of Brigadier C. Steuart, of the 14th Light Dragoon., has been formed for •er vice in the Deccan, in order to protect our territories from the mutineers. A. crowded meeting, attended by all classes of the in habitants of Bombay, was held in the Town Hall on the 20th July, for the purpose of raising a fund for th 4 relief of the sufferers by the disturbances in the Uppsr Provinces. The contributions to this fund already amount to 33,508 rupees. The rains which have long been holding off in a moss ra markable manner, have set in at last, and the wea ther is now of a monsoonish character. For the lalt three days, we have h ,d a constant succession of heavy showers, and there ii but little fear of a deficient monsoon. The Governor is still at the Presidency ; but the Commander-in-Chief remains at Poona, where his presence is required on account of the military movements taking place in the Deccan. The business transacted in our import market during the fortnight has been to a ve'y limited ex tent; the tightness in the money market has, if any thing, increased, and looking to the posture of af fairs all over the country, we hesitate to expect any change for the better for some time to come. The government has issued a notification allowing holders of 4 per cant. paper to pay into the open 5 per cent. loan one halt in cash and one half in the said promissory notes. The banks have not yst al tered their rates of interest ; our loCal joint stock shares keep pretty firm. The rate of freights fur Liverpool has been steady, while that for London has advanced. BEFORE DELHI. The Lahore Chronicle of July 1 has the following remarlis in relation to the state of affairs before Delhi : "The fall of Delhi, so anx'ously laoked for, appears to be as far oft as ever. We are receiving reinforce ments-, so are the rebels. We are getting in ammunition and stores, the mutineers are doing likewise, because Delhi is only invested on one side, or in,re , properly speaking on one point. There are miles of wails with several gates that are entirely free to the besieged. "This is not the fault of General Barnard ; he does as ranch as he can with the force under his command. But Delhi is a very large city some seven miles (we believe) in circumference with w river running along its eastern and longest side. The place has besides' been strengthened by the aid of our engineers, and we under stand that the walls could not be breached from any distance, as the crest of the glacis is about on a level with the top of the wall on the inner aide of the ditch, •o that every shot fired must go over the wall into the town. It is a pity that an attempt was not made on the Bth inst., when the enemy was first driven in with great loss, to take the city by a coup de main, which, in the opinion of several officers on the spot, could scarcely have failed. We must not, however, condemn the mili tary leaders for having held different views. Delhi has been allowed an'pre time for preparation and a fearful loss of life that could not be afforded might have been the result of an immediate assault." We observe it stated that the Nusseerahad mutineers have got into Delhi, but lost about 200 men in doing so. On the Bth July, a party was sent out from Camp to destroy the Bussee Bridge over the Canal, about 60 miles from Delhi. The work was effec tually performed, and as the supplies of the muti neers were largly obtained by this route, the effect has been most salutary. The roads are now patrolled by our So wa-s, which has given confidence to the villagers, and snpplies are brought into Camp in abundance. On the 9th the mutineers attacked the right rear of the British army in force, and were driven into the city with heavy loss. -t"N Of the Jhelum mutineers it is stated that there cannot be more than a hundred now at large ; these are being still pursued. Of those who at first escaped many have been brought in, and a whole boatload were drowned. —Lahore Chronicle, July 11. Accounts have been received from the moveable column which had been moving very rapidly on wards, and marched from Umritsur to Golrdas- - pore, a distance of nearly 40 miles, without a halt. The mutineers had not crossed the Ravee, and are not likely to do so. • Thi organisation of levies, horse and foo', throughout the Punj tub, is progressing very satis factorily.,—lbid, July 13., On the ICth the mutineers came out of Delhi in force, and obliged our working parties in the suburbs to retire : heavy rain came on and the mutineers returned into the city. The rebels appear to have kept quiet within the walls up to the afternoon of the 12th ins'. Their loss is estimated to have been nearly 1,000 killed in the action of the 9th. There was a report in the city of the approach of a f.n.ce of Europeans fro a Allygurh, and the muti neers were talking of breaking down the bridge over the Hindon Ghazee-ood-deen Nugger. From, c trrect inf Twation received yesteiday, it appears that a por ion of the mutineers of the 14th N. 1., at Jhelum, succeeded in escaping, and were being pursued when the message was despatched. Their number has not been ascertained, nor has the direction taken by them been as yet intimated. No further intelligence has been received from the army before Delni.—Lahore Chronicle Extra, July 10. The following is a correct translation of the pr clatnation issued at Delhi by the mutineers. Thus runs the lying and insolent appeal : "'To ALL HINDOOS AND MUSSULMANS, CITIZENS AND SERVANTS OF HINDUSTAN, THE OFFICERS OF THE ARMY NOW AT DELHI sod MEERUT SEND GREETING "It is we 1 known that in these days all tee English have entertained these evil designs—first, to destroy the religion of the whole Hindoetani army. and then to make the peneee by compulsion Chris tians. Therefore, we solely on account of our re ligion, have combined with the people, and have not spared alive one infidel, and have re-established the 13,1 hi dynasty on these temp, and thus act in obedience t i order and receive double pay. Hundreds of guns and a large amount of treasure have fallen into our bands ; theretore it is fitting that whoever of the eolHers and people dislike turning Christians should unite with one heart and acting couragemsly,and not leave the seed of these infidels remaining.

The first pay of the soldiers of Delhi will be 30r per month for a trooper, and 10r. a foot man. Nearly 100,000 men are ready, and there are 13 figs of the English regiments and about 14 standards from different parts now raised aloft for our religion, for God, and the conqueror, and it is the intention of Cawn pore to root out this seed of the devil. This is what vie of the army here wish." TRAGEDY AT CAWNPORE, AND RE CAPTURE OF THE CITY. The following intelligence is furnished by Go vernment : Allahabad, July s.—Colonel Neill reports that he had received a note dated night of the 4th, from Major Renaud, of the Madras Fusiliers, commanding the ad. vance column sent towards Cawnpore, that he had sent men into that place who reported on their return that, in consequence of Sir Hugh Wheeler being shot through the leg, and afterwards mortally, the force bad accepted the proffer of safety made by the Nana Saheb and the mutineers. The Nana allowed them to get int ) boats with all they had and three and a half lass of rupees, that after getticg them on boats fire was opened on them from the bank, and all were destroyed. One boat got away ten miles down the river, was pursued, brought hack, and all in her taken back int ) barracks and shot. One old lady was alive on the 31 at Fu tebpore. Another account says :—" When our paor wretched countrymen tried to escape by crossing to the Oude side of the river, they found that arrangements had been made there too for their reception, and they were cut to pieces by cavalry sent across for the purpose." The fol lowing intelligence has been communicated by the Go vernment to the Calcutta Press. Allahabad, July 12.—From Brigadier-General Have. lock to the Governer.G,iieral, from Futtehpore by tele graph, dated Allababad, 1 July, 11,35 a.m. : e " I have to acquaint your lordship that I have this morning attacked and totally defeated the insurgents, oNituring 11. guns and scattering their f orces i n u t ter confusion in the direction of Cawnpore. By two bar. rassing marches I joined Major Renaud's advanced column three hours before daylieht. and encamped about 8 o'clock, four miles from Futtehpore, where pitching our tents the enelo advanced out of Futteh pore and opened fire upon a reconnoissance under Col. Tytler. " I had a wish to defer the fight until to-morrow, but thus assailed, was compelled to accept the challenge. " I marched with 8 guns in the centre under Captain Maude, R.A., forming the whole of the infantry in a quarter distance column, in support. " Captain Maude's fire electrified the enemy, who abandoned gun alter gun, and were then driven by our skirmishers and column through garden enclosures and the streets of Futtehpore in conoplete confusion, " My loss is merely nominal ; not a single European trawled. My column had marched 24 miles up to the ground I write from ; Major Renaud's 19 mile-. The conduct of the troops in sustaining the fatigue of Belong a march, and enduring the heat of a frightful sun, is beyond praise. The enemy's strength is said to have been. two reements of cavalry, three of infantry, and 11 guns." " MOVEABLE COLUMN. Morning Order, 13th duly, 1857. "Brigadier-General Havelock, C. 8., thanks his sol diers for their arduous exertions of yesterday, which produced, in four hours, the strange result of a whole army driven from a strong position, 11 guns captured, and their force scattered to the winds, without the loss of a single British soldier " FROM BRIGADIER-GENERAL If AVELOCK; CAMP YCLLEN• PORE, DATED 14TH JULY, 1857. " We have taken every gun from the rebas at Futteh pore, 12 in number ; this hai enabled me to equip aad take into the field nine excellent guns instead of six lighter, and with the facility of also bringing into action two light six-pounders. 6 FROM BRIGADIER-GENERAL HAVELOCK, CAMP PANDOO MIDDY, DATED JULY 15, 1857. "My troops were twice engaged this morning, and captured four more guns, with trifling loss ; a strong ad vanced guard under Col. Tytler drove the enemy out of all entrenched positions in front of the village of Osung, after a resistance of two hours and a half, during which the mutinous cavalry, in considerable force, made fre quest attacks against my baggage, which compelled me to use every available detachment and gun against them; at noon we attacked their entrenchment at the bridge over the etre ; the resistance here was snort but spirited, and two guns were taken of large calibre. The Madras Fu.iliers particularly distinguished themselves. " FROM BRIGADIER-GENERAL HAVELOCK, DATED CAWNPORE CANTONMENT, JULY 17. _ _ " By the blessiug of God I recaptured this place yes terday, and totally defeated Nana Sahib in person, talc lig more than six guns, four of siege calibre. The enemy were strongly posted behind a succession of villages, and obstinately disputed for the 140 minutes every inch of the ground ; but I was enabled by a flank movement to my right to turn his left, and this gave us the victory. The conduct of the troops was admirable. Nana Sahib had barbarously murdered all the captive women and children bebre the engagement. He has retired to Blii toor, and blew up this morning on his retreat the Cawn pore magazine. He is said to be strongly fortified. I have not been yet able to get in the return of killed and wounded, but estimate my loss at about 70, chiefly from the fire of grape." The following is, we (Calcutta Englishman) believe a correct but - not complete list of the officers killed at Cawn• pore and Seetapore :—At Cawnpore—Brigadier Jack, 0 lonel Williams, Lindsay, Prout, Sir George Parker, Quinn, Redman,. Supple, Ilolliday, Reynolds, Prole, Smith, Eckford, Dempster, Jervis, Challwin, Tlllterstlen, Mrs. Wiggens, and many others have been killed. At Seetapore—Colonel Bitch, Mr. and Mrs. Christian, Capt. and Mrs. Gowan, Lieut. and Mrs. Snell. The above were killed before the capitulation, the ter• naination of which was so disastrous. _ The force with Gen. Havelock is as follows : 600 of her Majesty's 78th Highlanders, 500 of her Majesty's 64th Regiment of Foot, 600 Madras Fusiliers, and a troop of artillery. _ . _ A letter in the Poona Obsevver of July 27, says :-- "In their last engagement with the rebels the 78th Highlanders lost two men killed and fourteen wounded, one mortally, since since dead. Poor Tulloob, the Quartermaster -Sergeant, was amongst the latter, and died, poor fellow from the effect of his wounds in a feW hours, deeply regretted by the whole Regiment." THE MUTINY AT SEALKOTE. The following is a brief account of the fight with the Sealkote mutineers : " 12th July, 1857.—About 9 a.m. this morning, infor mation was received that the Sealkote mutineers were crossing at Trimmoo by a ford. In about ten minutes the column was in motion and reached within a mile of Trimmoo by twelve o'clock ; the column here deployed, the nine guns covered by the infantry. All this time we could distinctly see the 46th formed in line, in front of us, with the 9th Cavalry on either flank. They had also vedettes far ont watching who fell back as we advanced, when within 800 yards of the enemy our guns were tin masked. Thus we advanced within 300 yards when the word was given to unlimber the guns, but not to fire. as Nicholson wished to commence with the Enfield Rifles of the 52d, who were placed between the guns. I really am not sure whether the first shot was fired by tiS or them. I rather think the latter, but there was a very , smart interchange between their muskets and our rifles for two or throe minutes, when our guns opened first with round shot, then with erape. Scarcely bad our gons opened when the cavalry charged, not from the heat but from the right flank, into the guns on that side and :mused no litVe confusion, but were cut or shot down. "Then we bad a charge of cavalry on our /leek and' rear. There was a good deal of scrimmaging and pistol ing ; no sooner was this got over than the Pandys•charged manfully at our guns, and came I suppose within 30 or • even 35 yards. The Europeans could not stand thi but with, a cheer they went at them with the bayonet. Tevo or three Pandys had bayonets through them in no time, and the r,st turned and fled. The Sixth Punjeub Infantry then advanced and drove them across the Ravee, leaving their camp and all their loot on the river bank on this side. They, had a gun on the other side, from which they began pounding us with round shot, and though not one told, yet the gun was, considering the distance, mighty well serve', nor can we imagine who they had to serve it. Two or tnree of our guns were brought to the river side, and plied them with round shot and shel some of the latter evidently bursting among the enemy and taking effect. While this game at long bowls was going on, Nicholson weet to have a look at their camp, at which the Sikhs flew like vultures. There were three or four gbarees of sorts. I took shelter in one for half an hour, and bathed my head with Eau-de-Cologne, * bottle of which I loan'', an•i qualfied the Ravee water with essence of ginger, which I also found. Competent judges say that we killed and wounded 200 or 300 of the enemy. I should not have put their loss at so high 16 figure as the smaller. Our own loss is said to be under 10 killed and 25 wounded, but I do not know certainly. " 1 Nicholson felt sadly the want of cavalry, and the enemy made the most of this deficiency on our part.
