when they left it, There were many noncombatants, such as merchants, clerks, and others, who had with their families taken shelter in the intrenchment. The paymaster's treasury, containing upwards of a lac of rupees, was in it; also a small portion of his office records. Mee. R. A. Greenaway, a very old and re. spectable lady, formerly the proprietress of the Caren pore Press, had before the commencement of the rebel lion taken refuge with her son, Mr. Edward Greettway and his family in her zeroindaree at Nuguffghur, about 11 miles east of Cawnpore ; but they were brought here by some people, who, it is said, were the Zetnindars of Nuguffghur, and pre.ented to the Nana. Other re ports say that they were seized by the troopers of the 2d Cavalry. The aged lady offered to pay a large sum of money on condition of her being allowed to proceed with her relations to Allahrbad unmolested. A part of the money being immediately paid, they were put in confinement, where they remained until the 15. h of July, on which date they were killed with other ladies and children. Several boats containing European gentle men and their families—upwards of 100 souls were com ing to the westward towards'-Cawnpore, and on their Arrival at some place above Bithoar they were discovered by some Zemindar of the Onde. territory, who seized them and sent them to the cruel Nana, by whose orders every one of them was murdered by the wretched and inhuman troopers and Sepoys. The native inhabitants of the city, especially the Bengalee Baboos, were sub jected to innumerable distresses and oppressions ; the rebels entered their houses under varions pretexts, and plundered their property ; they were ohi•ged for the safety of their lives, to shut themselves up in secured house. On several occasions they shut themselves in the houses of their servants, &o. At last an order was given by the Nana, on the 16th July, to apprehend all the Bengalese on the evening of that day or the next morning and kill them ; but the arrival of the British troops on the abovenaentioned day frustrated his designs. The Baboos were suspected of writing letters to the English gentlemen, and giving them information, several spies having been apprehended with letters in their possession. The spies were all beheaded on the 14th, of July. The British officers and soldiers, with their families, a few of the native soldiery and domestic servants, as also some of the merchants, &c., remained in the enttoncli menta for 22 days, having endured every discomfort from want of fresh provisions and water, and from the inclemency of the weather, as also from the dilapidated state of the barracks in which they had taken shelter. At last, want of every kind of provisions obliged them, on the 26th of June, to propose teroes of peace. The Nana and his principal officers solemnly promised on oath to have them conveyed safely to Allahabad. Boats were prepared for them ; elephants, backories, &c., were brought to the entrenchment for conveying them to the boats, and on the morning of the 27th of June the in mates of the entrenchment came out, and proceeded to the ghaut where the boats had been kept in readiness, escorted by a number of Sowers and Sepoys, some of whom, on reaching the bank of the river, called out to the boatmen that they should leave with their boats, and come up to receive their pay. When they found that all the boatmen had done as they desired they com menced firing volleys from the high banks on the officers &c., some of whom were embarked on the boats, while others were standing by them. A regiment of Oude Irregulars had just arrived on the opposite side of the river, and the men belonging to that corps also fired at the officers. After several valleys had been fired the savage mutineers put the greation portion of the officers and men to death vtith their swords, a number of them having escaped in one or two boats ; but they were sub sequently caught at some place below Jeep:non and brought to Cawnpore after two or three days, when they were all killed. Among them was Captain Seppings, the officiating Deputy-Paymaster. The ladies and children were brought on country carts into the premises of the medical department, where they remained in close custody for nearly three weeks, hardly receiving any refreshments. The diet or food allowed them was only two or three chupatees (bread) and a little dhal to each. They had their old clothing to wear, sleeping on the bare ground. After a few days their condition was somewhat changed by the Nana's order—cleaned or washed gowns, See., to be pre vid.ed, and meat suppli e d t o th em d a il y ; a few servants, kle . amutgar, &c., were also empl o y e d t o a t ten d t h em . I n this state they remained up to the 15th July, on which date they were all killed by the Nana's men according to his orders. Such were the cries and agonies of the poor ladies that my informant shed tears when mentioning the circumstance to me, saying that such atrocious actscould not emanate even from ferocious animals or wild beasts. These foul and inhuman deeds did not end here, because on the next morning, when they came to the bloody spot where they had committed the cold-blooded murders, for the purpose of having the dead bodies removed, they found a few wounded ladies and a child were still alive, whom they threw into a well with the dead. Two causes are assigned for murdering the ladies—first, the defeat of the insurgents in an engagement which tome place near Puttehpore, and secondly, the detection of some letters Which had been sent by the ladies to Allahabad by some of the spies who were apprehended and killed on the 14th July. A few days before this about 17 European gentle men who were on their way from Furrackabad, conceal ing themselves in some country boats laden with gram, were arrested at Bundeemattaghat, 14 of whom were killed immediately on their being b roug ht t o G awnpore , 8 having been retai ne d, it was sa id , on prom i se o f the i r using their influence with the British Government to have the forts of Agra and Allahabad evacuated, but the story is not worthy of belief, and must have been fabri cated by the Nana with a view to induce the people to believe that he wa s t o o bt a i n possess i on of those places In a short time. Numerous false proclamations were issued by beat of tom-tom, announcing the d e f ea t o f E ng li s h troops at Delhi, Bo m b a y, &c., and such other falsehoods. On the evening of the 16th of July a proclamation was published in the city that the Nana had gained a com plete victory, many of the British troops having been killed and others having dispersed ; but the falsity of this story soon became known to the people,as in less than an hour vast multitudes of the mutineers were seen running away from the field of battle, many bearing their arms and accoutrements. When the mutiny broke out the following staff officers were present at the station, all of whom are said to have been killed : Major-General Sir H. M. Wheeler, K.C.8., command• lug the division. Brigadier A. Jack, C. 8., commanding the station. Major Lindsay, assistant 'adjutant-general. Capt. Reynolds, officiating major of brigade. Major Wiggins, deputy judge-advocate -general. Capt. Seppings, officiating deputy-paymaster. Lieut. Jervis, executive engineer. Dr. Garbett, officiating superintending surgeon. Dr. Boys, officiating medical storekeeper. Capt. Whiting, Canal Department. Lieut. Angelo, Canal Department. Major Sir J. Parker, Cantonment Joint Magistrate. Captain Williamson, deputy assistant-commissary general. The under-mentioned merchants, 'ie., were also in General Wheeler's entrenchment : Mr. Thomas Greenway, with family. J. D. Hay, with family. W. Gee, with f ami l y . H. Christer, with family. G. Reid, with family. S. Greenway, with family. Mrs. J. Kirk, with her son and his family. Mr. J. W. Scholl). J. H. Sherman. Mr. O'Brien, head clerk of the collectsr's Mr. J. W. Shepherd, head assistant commissary office, and others. The last-mentioned person—viz., Mr. Shepherd,. ma naged to escape i n t h e d i sgu i se of a cook, having left the entrenchment on or about the 22d of July. The following civilians were likewise in the entrench ment : Mr. Hilleredon, collector and magistrate. Mr. Mackintosh, deputy magistrate. Mr. Stacy, deputy magistrate. Mr. P. Marnull, sub.deuty opium agent. Mr. R. B. Cook, assistant opium agent.—lbid. August 27. --- CHRONICLE OF INDIAN EVENTS. (From the Englishman) MONDAY, AUG. 24. Capt. Peel's naval brigade could not get above Bar rackpore, the engines of the Chunar being out of order. The River Bird was sent after them, and will tow them to Jungypore, where she will be relieved by one of the steamers from the Upper stations. On Friday evening last Sirdar Shere Singh approved of several Sikh volunteers from the 25th Native Infan try ; these with some others are to be sent by the first steamer to Allahabad. The Infantry Volunteer Guards assembled last Satur day morning at halfepast five in full dress parade, for the purpose of being reviewed by Sir Colin Campbell ; but from some cause his excellency did not appear, and after the volunteer s had been kept on the ground till half-past 7 they were allowed to disperse. A large concourse of ladies and in gentlemen assembled to witness th e rev i ew, and those their carriages and some on foot lined both sides of the road leading from P ar k street to the fort. The Volunteers presented a very martial appearance, and went through their exercises with credit to them selves and their instructors. The Bangalore Herald states that the " Government of India has just sent instructions to the Commissioner of Mysore to forward 2,000 of the Sillidar, or Mysore Horse, for service in the British Presidency. It th e isex- peeted that the above Horse will march d com mand of Cot. A. M ac l eo d in a fear days ,. under s e o r on as the necessary camp equ ip age i s provided. The My sore H orse did good service Mahr a tt a war, and has been highlys during the lateokn seem to be i n hi g h sp i r i ts at the prospect e of eservice. We that ue n Geld We wi s h t h em every success, and feel confident Toe n they will maintain their former prestige. TUESDAY, AUG. 25. _ We are re quested to men ti on th a t th e road as far .s Benares is quite clear u for . passengers,. and that dawk car' is es are alread A letter from Cawyn por n e l a . ntions that travellers from Lucknow report that all the European ladies and others are safe in the entrenchments, but that fighting goes on dai y, and many of the mutineers are killed. A letter from Dinapore, of the 19th, report that Gen. Otreane proposes to abandon that station, and adds, oft napore is full of people, and as soon as it is denuded oops will be attacked." It was reported in the Bazaar yesterday, on the strength of letters from the Upper Provineee, that the Ilindoos and Mahomedens in Delhi are fighting, and that the former have offered to return to their allegiance, and take service again if pardoned. WEDNESDAY, AUG. 20. No less than six attempts have been made during the Present month to throw the night trains oil the rails. IRE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENII[34-0, OCTOBER 16, 1857 On the 33, a chair was placed 1401083 the rails at Seram pore. A letter, just received from Moorshedaba,l, mentions that the disti ict is at present perfectly quie. THURSDAY, Atm. 27. We are informed that Government has sanctioned the proposal to man seven steamers with European seamen, and arm them wiih one howitzer an.l two 3-pounder mountain guns. The cost not to exceed Company's R 9, 1,540 per month. A meeting of those who had sigred, or were willing to sign, the petition to Parliament, agreed to on the 3 inst., was held yesterday afternoon. The met,' ing, which was a very full one, was characterised by great hearti ness and unanimity of purpose. Mr. Lon,guevil'e Clarke was in the chair, and the principal speakers were Mr. Peterson and Mr. Doyne. The leading feature of the meeting was the formaiion of an luJian R. force League, with the view of enlightening the people and Parlia ment of England on the real condition of India and her government. FRIDAY, A UG. 23. There was a report in town yesterday that the River Bird, with Captain Peers Naval Brigade on board, had broken down at Berhampore. It is not so; but it is con sidered unsafe for ter :o go beyond that station at her present draught of water. The Mirzapore is expected down to take the Naval Brigade in tow. SATURDAY, AUGUST 29. We hear that the magistrate of Baraset arrested five men on Wednesday, one of whom proves to be the chief poet, and another the head fiddler of the King of Owle. They are said to have been on their way to Mooreheda bad. Surely the Lieutenant-Governor will take compas sion on a brother catgut-scraper, and release the musician from prison ; perhaps compensate him with a good appointment. MONDAY, AUGUST 31. At the Legislative Council on Saturday the passing of the Arms Bid was deferred for a week, Mr. Dorin re• marking that he was not aware of any particular reason for hurrying on with it. A new section was introduced into it, giving every person the power, on rea-4)nable suspicion of danger to the public peace, to apprehend without a warrant an armed man, and detain him until he could be handed over to the police. Some allusion having been made to the Penal Code, Sir Arthur Buller said, that in the present state of the country it was neither desirable nor possible that the Penal Code could soon become law, Mr. Peacock re marked that he did not think the Penal Code would come into operation at a very early period. 0 wino- to the necessity of concentrating large forces at Allahab n ad and Cawnpore, the district of Goruckpore had to be abandoned. Immediately after the withdrawal of the British, the standard of the Prophet was planted in the town, and the district taken possession in the name of the Bing of Oude. TUESDAY, SEPT. 1. The Admiral, with European troops on board, was spoken 2 degrees south of the line, in long. 24 West, on the 4th June, and ought to be in. She may be looked for hourly. An engagement took place on the 19th of August, north of Azirn g hur, between a force composed of three or four thou,and Mussulinans, with guns, under Mabo med Hossein, and some Goorka troops who were escorting the officials of Goruckpore to Bewares. After a severe contest the enemy fled, leaving three hundred killed and wounded. WEDNISDAY, SEPT. 2. Extract of a letter from an officer with GonerAl Havelock's force : " The Sepahee of my regiment has again come in from Lucknow ; he left all well there, and says they have lots of provisions ; the news has quite elated me. The rebels blew up a mine ; our people after some fighting sallied out, and boned materials for repairing the breach, which is all secure again. Everything now is looking up ; the Delhi news is good, and cholera is leaving us." Mr. Owen Jobn Elias, an American gentleman, well know in our city for his munificence and large donations to charitable institutions, bas subscribed to the " fund for the relief of the sufferers by the present disturbances" a further mina of Company's re. 6,000 in addition to his first subscription of rs. 1,500. We believe this is the largest sum subscribed by a single individual in India towards that laudable object. We understand that several of the officers of her Ma• jesty's 53d, ordered to proceed to Allahalead, experience great difficulty iii procuring conveyance for their private effects. Some have tried to purchase hackeries and bul locks on their own account, but find it difficult to procure cattle sufficiently strong for the purpose. Major Siemer° has proposed to government to raise a regiment of Coles. There is no doubt they would do good service on the south-west frontier. The proposal is now under consideration. We would refer the autho ritiei to the follow.ng remark of General _Briggs : "Toe native army is made op almost entirety of Ilin doos and Mahomedans, while a prejudice among those castes, in which the officers and the government partake, exists against the aboriginal race. Now, it so happens that in the wars of Lawrence, Clive, and Coots, iu the Gametic, the aborigines constituted by far the great majority of the Sepoys. It was they who opposed Ryder Ally, the ruler of Mysore, and who gained the battle of Plessey, is Bengal, before a Bengal army existed. It was they (the Parwariei of the Bombay army) who, in the siege of Mangalore, together with the 2 , 1 battalion of the 42d Highlander; under Colonel Campbell, defended that fortress for six months against a besieging army of forty thousand men, and consented to houourable terms of sur render only when on the point of starvation (as did the garrison of Kars), having buried within its walls more than half its numbers. The Beitgies of this race, the aborigines of Bengal, constituted a portion of the infantry of the Mogul armies ; and it is a fact , not gene rally known, though nevertheless true, that they claimed the honour as the indigines of the soil to form the for lorn hope and the storming parties in all its desperate services. A private lettor from Cawnpore, dated 25'h ult. says : The enemy are strongly entrenched on the other side of the river, opposite to Cawupore. News had been received from Lucknow up to the 211 ; all well ; but it is feared our force were not well supplied with pro visions. THURSDAY SEPT 3. A report reached us yesterday that General Havelock hcs had another encounter with the rebels at Bithoor and taken thirteen guns, and the Nana is said to be wounded and taken prisoner, We hope thin will prove true, but cannot vouch for its authenticity. Mr. Secretary Talbot publishes a letter deolaring that the government withholds no information on which reliance can be placed respecting the fate of European residents in the North-West or elsewhere. The Acoountnnt-General warns the public against purchasing certain government securities, amounting to 3 lakhs and 3 hundred rupees, which stand in the name of that arch-fiend Nana Sahib. It appears that the scoundrel has managed to sell out all the government promissory notes which stood in the name of the late Bajee Rao, and which, in 1851, amounted to about 50 lakhs of rupees, which were at that time rendered un gotiable by a caveat of the Supreme Court. It appears that the formation of the yeomanry corps for Allahabad has not turned out so satisfactorily as anticipated, many of the original applicants having withdrawn, and several of those now at Allipore evincing a strong desire to recede. FRIDAY, SEPT, 4. The following extract of a letter from Benares, dated the 30th August, is supplied by Govern ment : The as.sault on Lucknow has been repulsed with great loss to the Gbazees and insurgents. The garrison have beef and plenty of grain. • _ A letter from Rajrnahal, of Aug. 30, states that Capt. Peel, R.N., and his gallant fellows, had just reached that station in excellent health, and, with the River Bird as a tug, were expecting to reach Allahabaci in about a fortnight. SATURDAY, SEPT. 5. We are informed that the King of Oude'sa health is giving way under the strictness of imprisonment and the anxiety of mind under which he naturally labours. His family are in great Pit:fiction, as they entertain fears for his life. A letter from Benarss, of the 31st ult., says that 4,000 GoorkhaA, accompanied by some officer.; of the 25th and 37th N.I , and of the late Dinapore Regiments, are going to Lucknow via Fyzabad ; Sir J. Outram to Cawnpore and Allahabad with the 90th and 5,h Queen's. Orders have been issued by Government for making depots of fuel on the banks of the Gogra, and for col lecting rood of a suitable quality in sufficient quantity, and for engaging pilots in ca.e they should be required. MONDAY, SEPT. 7. We are informed that a letter has been received from Agra, which reports that Mr. J. O'B. Tandy has been killed in a skirmish in the district. A telegraphic despatch from Gen. Neill reports, "that the besieged at Lucknow undermined a house, in which a number of Gazees were located, who had given great trouble, and blew the whole of them into the air. The garrison sallied out, spiked the 24-pounder which had greatly annoyed them, took a number of bullocks, and brought them into their entrenchment." Killed at eawnpore—Ensign E. C. Hill, of h&c Ma jeaty's 32d Regiment, son of Geo. Hill, Esq., late of Calcutta. Also killed at Cawnpore, Mary, the wife of E.

Part rallied again near Escape bridge ; rebels driven over it at the point of the bayonet, and routed completely.

The Delhi detachment against Ilissar has been three times defeated by Corclandt. From General Neill, Cawnpore :—News from Luck now of Sept. 2. Residency Guard all right. Enemy's two heavy guns disabled, and they can neither fire nor move them. (From the Madras Correspondent of Daily Noes.) MADRAS, SEPT. 14. The Mohurrum festival passed over, as I antici pated, throughout the Presidency, in the most per fect quiet. A. less noisy celebration of it has never been known in Madras. Every caution was taken to prevent a disturbance ; and it is probable that not loyalty, but fear, had a wholesome influence on the wretched, starving, and, I might almost say, spectral inhabitants of Triplicane. How the unfor tunate creatures manage to subsist is to me a per fect marvel. The wretched Mussulmans of Tripli cane had little enough of diversion during this fes tival, but something new at least they did have, and that was a pantomime, in which the performers did the " shoulder up" and " fix bayonets" of the vo lunteers in a style little inferior to that of the heroes themselves. I have no wish to cast reflec tions on a gallant and patriotic body of men; but this I will say, that a more ridiculous farce was never enacted than this one of the volunteers. The body was formed almost solely with a view to an emergency which is past; and when that emergency ' occurred, that is to say, the Mohurrum festival, not a single volunteer had fired a ball cartridge, whi4e the serviceable men, who might be said to fo rm a sixth of the w hole, declared that if they were called out they would be in infinitely greater dread of their bungling comradt s than of the rabble itself. Com mon sense would have dictated a different system of training, and have taught the men to have fired off their pieces and weal their bayonets before n ga u n tt is in a g tsiio t: nt i e e, lam m through a series of com pli ca t e d evo lutions, which indeed might h ave b een we ll post poneddic: bound Havi t o Having thisa s i a d y word of muchtheotfhespirt er - of the volunteers. That was creditable in the highest degree. All classes of workmen, clerks, shopkeepers, and railway men, placed their time and their services at the disposal of Government without any reservation whatsoever. At least five-sixths of the vo'amteers are Eurasians —East Indians—half cistes—take which name you will ;. colour, varying from that which is seen in the fairest specimens of the natives, to the com plexion of an inhabitant of Southern Europe. These persons form a mixed race, being degcendants of native mothers and European fathers ; and t'e miliiary display they make upon parale is highly crattable considering the shortness of the time they have been • under drill. It. some respects they are the most unfortunate class of people in the world, being despised generally by Europeans and natives, and being stigmat'sed, though most falsely, as possessing the worst qualities of both. They have ever been used badly, indeed infa mously, by the Government. They aro deb irred fi mu enlisting in the European regiment', and they have been discouraged in almost every branch of employment to which they have addressed them selves. In this climate it is impossible for them to become labourers. The principal occupation open to them is that of clerks or bandsmen in native in fantry regiments ; b u t as t h e d eman d f o r clerks as well as b an d smen i s li m i ted, the pay of the latter too being wretchedly small—that is to say, 14 s. a menth—lar ge num b ers of unfortuna t e E is t I n dians are condemned to live in th e ex t re me of misery. It i 4 no .v a great desiderai uin t deci ease the na tive element in our armies to the renallest possible amount'. It is also generally believed essential to mix the different races and castes in such a man ner as shall effectually prevent any such cotabina tion as exists at present in the army of Bengal. Admitting this, it is difficult to imagine a case in which a government had a batter opportunity of combining justice with the public advantage.. En glish soldiers are difficult ta grt, and expensive to keep. Make use, then, of the invaluable material which is at hand in the shape of East Indians in ured to the climate, born iu the country, speaking its language as a mother tongue, but divided lw a gulf of jealousy and mutual contempt from the rent of the natives. What I should klie-to see would be a company of East Indians in every native regiment of the Madras army ; and while upon this subject, I will lay before you a table which appeared in the Madras d thenceum the other day. It brings into striking relief the proportions which the differee cas,er bear to each other in the three armies of Ben. gal, Madras, and Bombay. Infantry. Bengal. Madras.

In the first place, there are 1,650 na tive Christian [Sepoys .in the Madras army, those ruarkul as Christians in the Bengal army being Indo- Briton bandsmen and not Sopoys. Madras, in addi tion, has her complement of ludo-Briton bands men. These, h oweve r, are minor p o i n t s. I t i s true that we have more Mussulinans than th ey h ave, or had, in B enga l ; b u t l oo k at the other cast es . Com pare our Telingas and Tamils, drawn from the most peaceful and industrious races of men in the world, with the turbulent Rajpoo`s and intriguing the ) Madras army, Brahmins of Bengal ; and remember that while all castes in the Bengal army speak Hindostani as Mussuhuans, their common o c li or g m as r an m d o t t i h m er Tai t o o p uf s t , l, o have each a p er f ec tly distinct lan guage of their east acqta esge!tdt'na attaining to iutance with the m ow o n re ; th tl a ie n atwmo letterimperfect ost Hindostani or " Camp language.' The conclusions to be drawn from this are obvious, and will tend much to pacify the minds of those who have begun to doubt the loyalty of the army of Madras. Never theless, this army is quite capable of improvement in organisation. Some regiments have a large pre ponderance of Mussuluraus, others scarcely any. In the cavalry it must be confessed that the pro portion of Mahomedans is altogether outrageous. Out of a total of 3,290 trool.ors, 2,569 are followers of the Prophet. The consequence is, and indeed always has been, that the Madras Cavalry inspires less confidence than the Madras Infantry, and the conduct of the Bth Cavalry the other day was a direct consequence of a faulty , organisation. Now, suppose we had our regiments organised as follows : Company No 1. Indo-Britons. 2. Mahomedans, 3. Tolingas. 4. 'Paten's. 5. Native Christians. 6. Mahomedans. 7. Telir)gas. 8. Tamu!s. 9. Native Christi ans . • 10. ludo-Britons, Native Christians, or Tamely, Such a distribution, or one similar to it, is far from impossible—nay, it is perfectly feasible, and would be an effectual asfeguard against mutiny. Add to this that it is approved of by many experienced ofticns. Perhaps oar principal dome s tic event of the present furtnight is the return of Sir Patrick Grant to Madras. His sojourn in Bengal has neither raised nor lowered his rep u t ation. It i s diffi cu lt to imagine how any one , however highly endowe d , could have altered th e course of events dur i ng t h e peri id h 3 hAI office. He h as b een bl ame d b eca use he entrusted respon s ibil i t y to fools who were inca pable of using ; but we hav e . did so knowingly... These are days when everyone in command is crying out for summary powers and large discretion. It must, however, be admitted that whi'e Sir P. Grant liiild the chief lock were achieved, and that unlimited command in India, the &lions exploits of Neil and Have yet to learn that he every availabe support was given them. This much we will venture to say, that the' appointment of Mr. T. P. Grant, and the supersodiugthe gallant. Havelock by that prince of vacillation and fussi ness—Outram, was no act of Sir Patrick's, whose . powers and return to Madras is hailed by every ono with satisfaction.

BEADON, Secy. to the Government of India. Fort Wrildara, July 31. Extract from the proceedings of the Right Hon. the Governor-General of India in Council in the Home De partment, under date July 31 : RESOLUTION. 1. The Governor-Generil of India in Cluncl of:- served with approbation the zealous (x!rtions of the local cavil authorities for the apprehension and condigo punishment of the mutineers and deserters concerned in the present revolt. It was necessary, by the Revere and prompt punishment of such of thee criminals as found their way in the distric's in our pe! s - elion, where the minds of the native freop3 coal not I:ut be in a very unsettled state, though the men for the ii.o3t part b stained from open mutiny, to show that the just fate uf the mutineer is death, and that the Government was powerful to inflict the penalty. It was necessary, also, by the offer of rewards for the apprehension of all deserters, to check the crime of deserth n, which was becoming rife in some of hes.: reginsents, and to prevent the possible escape of men who, apparently mere de serters, had been concerned in ouch terrible atrocities that their apprehension and et - .1,14;n punishment was AN imperative duty.. 2. But lest mea, , nras of exl.retne severity should be too heady resorted to, or carried too far, his lordship in cmccil thinks it right to issue detailed in s t. uctiins on this subject by which all civil officers will he guided in the exercise of their powers in the care of mutineers, deserters, and rebels. 3. There is reasen to believe that in Rome, even of those native regiments whose revolt has been stained by the most sanguinary atrocities, some men may have distinguished themselves from the mass by protecting an officer. In some such cases men of very guilty regiments possess certificates in their favour from officers of their regiments ; but there may be others equally deserving of clemency who are without any euch ready means of clearing themselves from the presumptive evidence of their deep guilt. 4. Where the number of men guilty of what it is impossible to pardon is so great, the Government will glad!) , seize every opportunity of reducing the work of retiibution before it by givieg a free pardon to all who can show that they have a claim to mercy on ;thin ground, provided they have not been guilty of any heinous crime against person or property, or aided or abetted others in the commission of any such crime. 5. It is understood that in regiments wh'ch mutinied, and for the most part went over to the rebel+, without murdering their officers or committing any other san guinary outrage, there were men who appeared to have hal no heart in the revolt, though they failed in their duty as soldiers, and who have evinced their peace able disposition and their want of sympathy with those who are now armed in open rebellion against the go vernment, by dispersing to their villages when the regiment broke up, and mixing quiely with the rural population. It is desirable to treat such tnen with all reasonable leniency. 6. The Governor-General in Council therefore deems it necessary to lay down tho following rules for the guidance of civil authorities exorcising the power vested in them by recent legislation for the punishment of native officerS and soldiers charged with mutiny or de-ertion. Sec. Ist. No native officer or soldier belonging to a ragituent which has not mutinied is to be punished by the civil power as a mere deserter, unless he be fuuud or apprehended with arms in his possession. Such men, when taken before or appreheuded by the civil power, are to be sent back to their regiments, when ever that can be done, there to be dealt with by the military authorities. When such men cannot be sent back to their regiments immediately, they should be detained in prison pending the orders of government, to whom a report is to be made, addressed' to the Secretary to Government in the Military Department. Sec. 2d. Native officers and soldiers being mutineers or deserters, taken before or apprehended by the civil po - ver, not found or apprehended with ar,e itt their possession, not charged with any specific act of rebellion, and belonging to a regiment which has mutinied, but has not been guilty of the murder of its officers, or of any other sanguinary crime, are to be sent to Allahabad, or to such other place as government may hereafter order, and are there to be made over to the commandant, to be dealt with by the military authori ties. Shouidany difficulty arise in sending the offender to Allahabad, eitbeir by reason of its distance from the place of arrest, or otherwise, the offender should be im prisoned until the orders of government c4n be obtained, unless for special reasons it may be n( c.issary to punish the offender forthwith, in which case a report will imme diately afterwards be made to the government. Sec. 3rd. Every mutineer or deserter who may be taken before or apprehended by the civil authorities, and who may be found to belong to a regiment which killed any European officer or other European, or com mitted any other sanguinary outrage, may be tried and punished by the civil power. It the prisoner can show that he was not present at the murder or other outrage, or, if present, that he did his utmost to prevent it, full parCculars of the case should be reported to government in the military department, before the sentence, what ever it be, is carried into effect, otherwise the sentence should be carried into effect forthwith. Sec. 4th. It it cannot be ascertained to what regiment a mutilator or deserter taken before or apprehended by the civil authorities belonged, he is to be dealt with a 4 provided above by the 2d Rule. 7. Lists showing the several regiment; and detach ments which have mutinied will ba prepared with all practicable despatch in the military department, stating in each case al known particulars of the in , .t ny, and ac companied by nominal rolls, with appropriate remarks opposite to the names of those native officers and men who are known to have been absent . from their regime, $ at the time of the mutiny, and of th ,se who, if present, are known to have taken an active part either in pro- meting or suppressing the mutiny, or to have eituply joined, or abstained from joining it. These nominal rolls as soon as prepared, will be printed and circul rtes te all civil officer), and to military officers in command. ft The Governor-General in Council is anxious to pre vent measures of extreineseverity being unneceseerily re sorted to, or carried to excess, or applied witlisut d le die critninetiou, in regard to acts of rebellion committed by persons not mutineers. 9. It is unquestionably necessary, in the first attempt to restore order in a district in which the civil autho rity has been entirely overthrown, t r administer the law with such promptitude and severity as will strike terror into the minds of the evil dispoeed among the people, and will lie uce them by the fear of death to abstain from plunder, to restore stolen property, and return to peaceful occupations. But this object once in a great degree attained, the punishmeet of crimes should be regulated with discrimination. 10. The continued adminiettation of the law in its ut most severity after the requisiteitnpression has been made upon the rebellious and disorderly, and after order has been partially restored, would have the effect of exasper • ating the people, and would probably iuduca therms baud together in large numbers for the protection of their lives and with a view to retaliation, a result much to be deprecated. It would greatly add to the difficulties of settling the country hereafter if a spirit of animosity against their rulers were engendered in the minds of the people, and it their feelings "wore embittered by the re membrance of needless bloodshed. The civil ()dicers in every district should endeavour, without condoning any heinous offences or making any promises of pardon for such offences, to encourage all persons to return to their usual occupations, and, punishing only such of the prin cipal offenders as can be apprehended, to postpone as far as possible all minute inquiry into political offences until such time as the Government are in a position to deal with them in strength after thorough investigation. It may be necessary, however, even after a district is partially restored to order, to make examples from time time to time of such persons, if any, who may be guilty of serious outrages against person or property, or who, by stopping the dawk or injuring the electric telegraph or otherwise, way endeavour to promote the designs of those who are waging war against the state. 11. Another point to be noticed in connexion with subject is the general burning of villages, which the Governor-General in Council has reason to fear may have been carried too far by some of the civil officers employed in restoring order. 12. A severe measure of this sort is doubtless necessary as an exempt° in some cases where the mass of t , .e inhabitants of a village have committed a grave outrage, and the perpetrators cannot be punished in their per sons; but any approach to a wholesale destruction of property by the officers of Government, without due re• gard to the guilt or innocence of those who are affected by it, must be strongly reprehended. Apart from the effect which such a practice would hive upon the feelings and disposition of the country people, there can be no doubt that it would prevent them from returning to their villages and resuming the cultivation of their fields, a point at this season of vital importance, inas much as if the lands remain much longer unsown, dis tress and even famine may be added to the other difficul ties with which the Government will have to contend.

The overland mail of the lath August, from London, reached us on the morning of the 3d inst., per Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Bombay. The ac counts of the weather and the prospects' of the season have been very favourable from all parts of India, and an abundant harvest is confidently looked for. We have no change to report in our money-market during the past fortnight. Bank rates of interest remain the same, and money is plentiful in the bazaar. Government securities have fluctuated considerably since our last report. Fours have changed hands at from 79 to 82, and Fives from 89 to 92, but in conse quence of the low quotations now ruling at Calcutta for these securities our market has given way, and we now quote nominally Fours 80, and Fives 90—no buyers. Our local joint-stock shares keep remarkably firm, at nearly former quotations. MONEY MARKET.

By the Fiery Cross we: have been in receipt of ad vices ,frpm Kong Kong to the 14th ult. Beyond the blockading of the Canton river by the English Admiral nothing' or consequer.ce bad occurred there. Opium had adVanced, and last quotations were $592 fo Patna, $585 to $590 for Brniares 'and $605 to $6lO f or M atwa Ben;al 'cotton $l2 Lo ' sl3, and Bombay $l3 to $l4 per picul.

Ex:ilaange on L on d on , 43. 11.1 , and on Calcutta 2244 r. to 225 r. per $lOO, Since our last report we have experienced increas-d tightness, and the refusal Of the Bank:of Bengal to ad vance further loans on deposit of Government securities, except to approved customers, and that, too, not to a largo extent, has caused' much embarrassment in com mercial gnat-ler:I: It is evident the bank hits beeq forced to adopt such a course, the state of its finances and the gradual reduction of the amount of cash not permitting indiscriminate advances. - How lung matters are to con tinue in: their present state it is difficult to foresee. The Bank cf Bengal rates have been fixed at the last meetirg of the directors as follows :—Diecou ut,— Private bids and notes at or within 3 months, 11 per cent ; Go vereraout acceptances not having more than 30 days to rue, 9 in. ; Mint certificates, 5 do. ; Ditto, ditto, having lees then 7 Jaye to run, par. Interest eharged,—p,, fix-d loans and ce-sh credits not exceeding 90 days, on dep At of-Company's paper, 10 per cent. ; Oa deposit of goods, 11 do. Rates of Advance.-4 per cent. stock reqipte, Sa. ru pees 100, Company's rupees 80 advance ; 4 per cent Company's paper, Sa. rupees 100, Company's rupees ' 80- ' advance • 4 per cent. Company's paper, Compy s ru pees 100, 75 advance ; 5 per cent , Company's paper, Company's rupees 100, 85 advance. Government Securities—We regret to observe that the increased tightness of the money market and the refusal of the Bank of Bengal to grant accommodation on deposit of Government securities unless the parties be approved by the directors, have combined to depre ciate further the value of all securities. There are very fe,v purchasers is the market, and ge no large sales can be effected under the existing circumstances, un less at a heavy sacrifice, holders are prevented from offering freely, and this has helped to check a greater fall in the ratee. Oa the whole, the position of this market could not have been wore unsatisfactory, and it is difficult to foresee what changes will take place iu future. We quote Four per Cents. at 25r. and Five per Cents. at Ilr to 12r. per cent, discount. No thing doing in Four-aud•a-Half per Cents., which cone wand a nominal value. Exchange—On London,---The market for the mail opened at 28 2ad to 2s 21d fur American and other first class credits ; some bank bills wore also sold at the same figure, when the rate adOanced rapidly to 2s 3J, and latterly 2s 3,W, which is to-day's quotation for first-class six mouths sight paper, and even at this high figure it wou d be difficult to plage a large amount, owing to the scarcity of money. Document bills have been sold at about j i d to 4il over credit rates. On China—Some transactions took place 'at 215 r. for $lOO, but owing to the dern.rud fur bills the rate declined t) 210 r., at which about tho last transaction took place. Expoars FROM CALCUTTA. ludigo.—The manufacturing is drawing to a close with less favourable resbits than at firAt anticipated. It ha° w evident that the produce of this 'year will fall short of last season's crop. tiugar.—We have been without any transactions for the Briti.h markets. Our quotations are nominally the same as at the date of our last, although it would be diffi cult to place any large quantity at a rupee per maund under. Saltpetre.—The market has been rising rapidly and prises aro considerably higher since our last. The de mand is moderate, tint our stock also is very small and supplies expected t., ha short for some time. Riee.—ln table qualities we have had very little doing, hut as the market is bare of largo supplies, no change in prices can be noticed. Raw silk —Althoogh large shipments are going for ward by the present snail, it must be remembered that the principal portion consists of European filatures shipped on manufacturers' account. The transactions since our last have been chiefly confined to native qua lities, which have been gradually declining in value, and at closing we have silks offered at 4r. to sr. under our last mail rates without meeting with buyers. The sales have been—fine native flurrypaul , , or Doulutpores, as they are now called, at 16r. to 18r. ;Cossimbazar at 13r. to 18r. Ba. ; V and S M Trafalgar at 24,r. These prices are at present untenable, and 2r, per suer loWer would be gladly accepted. Hides and Skins.—Although supplies oflate have been considerably reduced, the market remains without alteration, the advises from home not admitting of any active demand for hidev. Oil Seeds.—Linseed has been in good demand for the AJuirican markets, and value well supported. We have hardly anything doing for the British markets. Quota tions, re. 3-1 2 to re. 4 4 per maund according to quality. Opium.—Previous to the arrival of the steamer Fiei y Cross with advicee from Hong Kong to the 15th ultimo, our market had been gradually on the advance. Oa receipt of letters by her, prices receded to 1,290 r. for Patna, but immediately after a reaction took place, and, a general impression prevailing among native dealers that in c:nisequence of the disturbed state of the Patna and Benares districts, the cultivation of the poppy would be considerably ch,.cked, if not abandoned altogether for the present, the drug gradually rose until the 9th sale, which took place on the 4th inst. Patna was quoted at 1,365 r. Our quotations now are 1,270 r. to 1,272 r., but it is apprehended these figures cannot bo main taieed under .xisting circumstanc es , especially if the advisee now hourly look e d f or b y the Lightning horn China prove unfavourable. • IMPORTS FROM EUROPE. , Gray Sli;rtings.—A better demand has prevailed con sequent on large requirements for Lower Bengal and local consumption during the ensuing native holidays, and prices have advanced about ens anna a-piece, but we are still without transactions for the Upper Provinces. \Vhite Shirtinga have been in moderate request, but we have no alteration in prices to notio, , . Gray Jaconots have been placed to a larger extent than before, and a❑ improvement of about 2 minas a piece has taken place during the fortnight. White Jaconots.—Without much doing, wa only give the ruling quot4tions:—.r. 1-0 to 1-4 for low, 1.8 to 2-1 middling, and 3-4 to 5-4 fine. White catnbries continue in the same neglected state, not a single sale Lavin transpired for some time past. Turkey Red Goods —We are still without buyers for any sort, and our quotations must therefore be considered quite nominal, _ _ Woollons.—The position of these goods is quite unal tered, there being no pure'uasers, and value horn wally the same. Coloured Yarns have continued in fair requr,st at previous figures—namely, at 1-2 6 to 1.6-6. Turkey red German dye 1-0 6to 1-4-6 for British dye. German and Orange continue to rule at 0-11-0 to 0-12.6 per lb. Freights—To London—Saltoetre, 31 5a to 3: 15s ; sugar, 3153 to 3/ 15s ; rice, 3153 to 3/ 15's ; jute, 31 to 31 5s ; oil seeds, 4/ ; rum, 4 hhds, 41 5s ; bides, 31153 ; ishOlac, 31 54; lac dye, 31 lOs ; silk piece goods, raw silk, and indigo, 51 ; castor oil, U.
