THE MASSACRE AT CAWNPORE. poree. The Zlmeendars and Goojurs plunder outside the city. Roa Toola Rsm continues to manage the dis trict of Rewaree. Yesterday two companies of infantry and a party of cavalry, with two guns, left the fort for Rohtuk to bring in treasure thence ; they will return either today or to-morrow. Various reports are in cir culation in the city ; some say that British forces are coming to Delhi, others give out that Byza Baee is coming from Gwalior, and some say that the Rajah of Putiala is expected. The dak is stopped. The rebels plundered the kuthee of WuLlee Mahomed, merchant, and seized the horses belonging to the city people. They also plundered the Post-office and the Electric Telegraph. This mutiny is said to have originated on account of cartridges. The city people are in a continual state of alarm night and day. What I have heard about Rawul Sheo Singh of Jeypore I here relate. The day the insurrection took place he was at this place, After two days he was sent for by the King, who desired. him to write to the•Jeypore Rajah, requesting him to come to Delhi with his troops. The next day Rawul Sheo Singh left Delhi. At Rewaree he was entertained by Rao Toola Rim. The report about his having surrendered to the rebels certain Europeans who had sought his protection is totally unfounded. A body of 4,000 Jeypore troops i 3 said to be stationed on the frontier of that State. No one buried the corpses of . - the Christians; for three days they remained in the streets and before their houses. Afeerwards the King ordered the sweepers to collect and throw them into the Jumna.- -It is said that the King did not insti gate the rebels to take possession of the fort. The mutineers suspected Ahsan. Oolla Khan Hukeem and Nowab Muhbood Ali Khan. as spiv s of the English, and threatened to kill them. To save their lives they undertook to supply the , mutiLeers with supplies. Guards of the rebels are posted at the city gates ; no one is allowed to enter with let'ers. The Bhurtpore force is at Ilidul. 'Mr. - Ford, the collector at Goorgaon, is there. On the 5 h of Jane two companies of infantry were escorting treasure from Muttra to Delhi; on their arrival at Hodul the Sabib collector flei. It is not kco vn whether the Bhurtpore troops are still at Hodul. The Kotees of Ramjee .Luekhmee Chund, Mince Raw, and the Uthurfee Kuttra escaped from being plundered... Sir Thomas Metcalfe's son was wounded, but made his escape. The rebels. have plaud guns on Sulaimghur ; all the ci t y gates are shut—on'y the wickets are open. Outside the city fi h ing is going on. It is not the rebels who plunder outside, but the z mindar, who do so and burn villages. Two Hurkaras were carrying Khureetas from the Rajah of Patiala to. the Governor-General; they,were made prisoners and brought before the King. It is said that the - Rajah of Putiala is rendering every assistance to the British Government. lie disarms all the mutineers fre.m the Puojaub who pass throagh Putiala. Several regiments of the Rajah of Putiala and the European ; troops have erected batteries at Alipore. On the 4'h of June the rebels took up a position new Suave Mundee. The, furceeof Europeans from Meerett have batteries at - the bridge over the Hindon. On the 3)th of Mty an action was.fougbt in which 1,500.0 f the rebels were slain, and they were driven Luta the city. Another battl, will shortly take place on the plains of Stibzee Mundee and Alipore. The rebels are busy removing tree heavy guns to the spot. Besides the Pootbeas, a large body of Mohammedans have assembled to fight, for religion. The King has given kettle drums and flags to the Goojurs, with orders to !hinder and kill the European forces. About 1,000 of them have collected. - About a week ago a fakeer. was s,iisel by the rebels and taken before the King; they gave out that be was Sir Henry Lawrence, and .had .come as a spy ; that formerly they had seen him in diruise at Lahore, The efakeer was taken to the Lahore gate. of the fort and there put to death. Toe day, before yesterday the King proposed, to the reb Is to nominate their officers Trona. ammg their own tribe, in place of. Mitzi Sooltan, Aboo Bultr and otherr.' They declined doing so, saying that until - they conquered the Eurorean forces from Utah We and Kurnaul they would not accept of the appointments. Since yesterday guns and 1 trge supplies of ammunition are taken to Subzee Mundee. A party of. 400 or 600 sowers hive come in from Cawnpore, and have encamped near the Cashmeree Mu jid. The numer ical strength of the rebels up to this date is 7,000.. Par.ies. of 50 and 100 join daily. ,, It is said the troops at Allighur, Jalesur, and Mynporee have mutinied. The Eurcpean . officers have fled. The following is a statement of sums . brought by the rebels into the city from the different 1 treasuries:— , From Muttra From Rohtuk Froin Biolund Suhur From Glorgaon From 2.17 000 1.10.000 64 000 20 000 1.19.000 5 30.00 The above is in addition to the amount in the Delhi Treasury, which has not beet' touched by the King. Toe lat'er has forced the city bankers to advance him money, sbying that he would repay out of his stipend of one lac of ropes. On the n of June a great battle was fought. lhousands of rebels were killed. The British forces were victorious. —On she 91h*of June another action took place, and hundred of. the mu ineers were killed and wounded. On the 10th the action covtinued and lasted till late in the evening. Since yesterday the shells from the British camp f ill in the city, but a 3 yet no lives have been loot. The rebels, although they have na commander, fight bravely. 'They, howeve - , rceeiv3 no reinforcements and are daily eim•nishing in number, whereas the strength of 'he British forces continue to inereasa. It is s .id that two Europeans, dressed as natives cane into the fort with an inttn ion of blowing up the powder magazine. They were detected and killed. Twenty carts laden with sup plies for Europeans, consisting of liquor, cheroots, loaves of bread, &c., were plundered and br o u g ht by the Go(jurs. Rajah Ajeet Singh, nephew of the Rajah of Putteeala, was seiz d by the rebels and taken before the King. The latter has given Ajeet Singh a goo 1 reception. The street.gatqs of the city are kept closed. No one goes out of door. A shell from the B itish camp fell and burst In the Citandnee Cnovvk, which killed and wounded many people. June 25. Actions are fought as usual, but nothing decisive has as yet taken place. From 100 to 200 men of the rebe's are killed daily. No in'ormation is obtainable of the losses in the British forces. Firing of guns and musketry kept up all night. Shells are thrown in the city and fort, which his cawed the destruction of many buildings near ihe Cishewre and Cabul gates, and some lives have beed lost. The Nusseerabad brigade of mutineers came in two days ago. It is said that the rebels from Jullundor and N,e much will be in here shortly. Buidea Brahmin, Doroga of the bridge over the Jumna, was seized by the rebels, being suspected of intriguing with the Engl.'s' . His brad was cut off and suspended to a tree near the Kotwalee Chuboutra. The rex, day it was taken down by the sweepers and thrown into the Jumna. The bridge over the Hindon is b.oken; many of the prison.rs who escaped from the gaol have left the city, other have joined the Budmashes; many r! the Idtfer have been apprel ended. The Goojurs have plulered and burnt down Secunderabad, and they commit depredations on the road. There is not a single European or Christian now within the walls of Delhi. June 27 Two regiments of infantry, one of cavalry and artillery. which were 00 their way from Bareilly to Delhi, after crossing the Ganges, were inflamed that European forces were assembling at Meerut. This in Need them to no to that place. A portion of the British troops before Delhi have mtuchea cis Bagput to Macru'. Non. of the reb is in the city have gone to Meerut. It is said that a great b ittle will take place Vere. About two or three days ago a " muhawut" with an elephant from the British camp cime to the King, saying that he was so mach annoyed by the Eur , peans that he made his escape. The King ord.,' e i the elephant to be kept in the Frelkhana and took the muhawut iwo his service. For two or three days the muhawut went ab nit examining the different places in the fort, and then suddenly disappeared. It is supposed that he was a spy from the British camp, as, since the day he left the fort, shells are continually thrown on the palace, part of which is demolished. Tee Europeans have sacked Sobece Mundee. and burnt the surrounding villages, as the inhabitants re fused to give them supplies. The night before last a shell fell in Oneelpoora, red killed a stonemason's wife. Every one is in a stare of anxiety, mill business is at a stand. May God grant that matters may terminate w(11. There is no likelihood, Lo vever. of tranquillity being speedily restored. The eleplia it, which was brought from the British camp, the king has offered at the shrine of Jo ,tub Sha. July 11 Traders have commenced opening the btzsar. The re port which has gone abroad of grain selling here at five seers for the rupee is wrong ; whe it is sold at 30 see s, and gram 35 seers for the rupee. The mu'ineers pay read., cash for everything they purchase. P undering is ceased in the city. The shells from thy British camp c use great destruction. GA knows what will happen th , , day the English assault Delhi. The rebels are from 15.000 to 16,000 strong in the city. It is said the European forces, including Sikhs, amount to upwards of 6,000. No news has yet reached this place of the expected battle at Meerut. July 22. The ether day the King sent for the Subadar Baba door, who commands the troops in the fort, and desired him eith - tr to re-nue him out of the fort or do something to stop the British shelling, which was very destructive. The Subadar begged the King to remain in the fort another day, and that during that time be would devise means to put a stop to the shelling. Early the next morning the Subadar, with a party of 1,000 Porbeas (natives of the Eastern provinces), armed only with swords and muskets, attacked the British troops. They fought desperately, but the Europeans and Sikh troops, I who were elbout 10,000 strong and we-e on the alert, opeued a fire a grape on tha Subadar. With the. eicep- Lion of a few men , the whole - of his party was destroyed. After a day or two the Porbeas, in a body, waited on the King and begged that r in consideration of their sacrificing their lives and those of their families iu his service, he would prohibit the killing - of bullocks . and goo.ts in the Eed. The King agreed to do so. A party of Mabon:medans, who were in opposition to the Porbeas, p'aced a vard et a well in the Begum's gaid n r with or 'era not to ht the Porbeas draw water. When the Porbeas heard this they came to take water by force, which causerl a dis'urbance, and people were killed on bo'h sides. If anything takes place between tile Mahommedans and Poi bear on the E 3? day, Delhi wi'l soon fall into the hanla of the English. It is reported that the P”rbeas sent a message to the Rajah of Putts,eala, inqui ing why he was aseis'ing the English, and telling him not to do so ; olarnAise, on the establishment of the King's authority and the ex inction of the English, he should be the first p rson to suffdr for it. The Rajah sent an answer that it respired an age to remove the English, and that it was folly un their part to wait for that event ; that whenever they took the trouble to cause to his place he would be ready. to receive them. The Rjah of Putteeala 11.3 sent a large force to join the British guava before Delhi. . = August 6.

(Hear, bear) He should like to ask how it was that the navy—the great and ui.matehed navy—of England had never playel any part in this most inn ortant era ire our history ? (Cheers) And again, why bad they not bad a single gun boat in India when they were told that by a few gun boats our be eagwed countrymen could be helped. (Cheers.) Nit many days ago the Shannon reached India, and her very approach —being of light draught and well armed—was a signal. for the grea'est enthusiasm. Then how was it, when there were huodreds of oth r gun boats almost lying idle., that none could be sent to Indio ? (Hea-.) It, thereforP, became the imperative deity of tli? country to watch over the Operations of government. (1/43Leers SIR E.L. BULWER LYrroN ox TIIE INDIAN WAR. At the Herbs- Agricultn-al Society's annual dinner, held on Wednesday, at St. Albn's, Lord Vernlam in the chair, after the usual loyal toasts h,ti been done honour to, lb:, health of the members of the county was drunk with enthusiasm.

After complimenting the chairman for mani. festing his love for r iral pursuits and agricultural im provements, while following the higher ambitionaeof polidoal life, the Hon. Baronet said that the exhibition on t ,whole hoce had been somewhat scanty as to. quantity - . compare] with former years. but es to quality there had 'been admirable specimens of cattle, and the show of lin plements had been very good. Exhibitiots of this kind, required quantity as well as quality, arid if gentlemen would only suggest to the pr:z --givers and the landowners anythin r that would' increase competition, it would be readily listened to. r It was no use for a man to s.:y ‘• I have (*clue my brit, and I can do more ;" but he should sly, " I think I have done my best, but I will try and improve it." ft was the oldest adge he knew, that 'it was never too late to learn." and man should always be trying to do better.

It was by consulting the hour-glass- and using the scythe that the agriculturists of this country had obtained from the, naive glory of its own labour :he most . glorious harvests. They had feailised the fens of Line Ans hire and the sands of lit•rrolk, and they had turned the wood!auds of their own count:y itito the higbtcst 'state of cultivation. Ha behaved they would continue to flourish and improve so lung only as they con tinued trying to do.their best, or, in other ward.. sn long as they coasulted the hour glass, and used the sc, the. The speaker then_proceeded to allude to the pres2nt state of things in India ; unl sa'd, in reference to Cawupore, atd Delhi, the walls were red with the blood of violated women and innocent children., The conduct of our troops there had been most &dour. Tpey hail fought with mote than Spartan fortitude and Spartan endurance.. After en*ozi sieg the 'discipline of the Hertfotdshire militia, which, he, said, had, supplied more recruits to the regular army during the Russian_ war tban any other_ county of England, he. said this was not a Russian war, but:a war to punish traitors end to chastise rebels.

He belongs to the Ist Native Infantry, and is said to be a most intelligent man : When the , mutiny broke out at Cawnpore he was with three companies of his regiment, the first, or Gillis Pultun, a < t'Banda. On the breaking out of the Sepoys at 13anda Nujoor Jewarree saved the fife of a Mr. Duncan and his wife (Mr. Duncan was a writer, and instructed this man in English), by concealing them n his hut, and afterwards reporting to the Rajah that they were willing to turn Alussulmans. - For this the Sepoy fell into ill odour with his comrades, and when the mutineers marched into Cawnpore the Nena took away from him all he had— about 300 rs.—and confined him with four more Sepoys in the same house with the Europeans. At the fight of Futtehpore he was released by the Nena, went back to the Gundee Nuddee, and thence came over to the English. His account of the Neua's treacherous , attack on tho boats, and the escape and recapture of one of the boats, is as follows : " When the Nena's guns opened on the boat in which Wheeler Sahib, the General, was (it has now been fully ascertained from servants and others who were with the English party, that General Wheeler was not dead before the massacre, but was put wounded on board the boats) he cut its cable and dropped down the river. , Some little way down the boat got stuck near the shore. The infantry and guns came up and opened fire. The _large gun they could not manage, not knowing how to work the elevating screw, and did not use it. With the small gun they fired grape tied up i❑ bags, and the infantry fired with their muskets. This went on all day. It did not hurt the Sahib log much. They returned the fire with _heir rifles from - the boat, and wounded several of tte Sepeys on the bank, who therefore drew off towards evening. The Sepoys procured a very big boat, into which they all got, and dropped down the river upon the Sahib's boats. _Then the Sahibs fired again wish their rifles, and wounded more Sepoys, in the boat, and they drew off andleft them. At night name a great rush of water in the river, which floated off the Sahib's boat, end they passed on down the river, but owing to 'the storm and the dark night, 'they only proceeded three or four koss. In the meantime intelligence of the Sahib's defence had reached the 'Nena, and he sent off that night three more companies of the native regiment (Ist Oade In fent ry) and surrounded the Sahib's boat, and brought them back to Cawnpore. Then came out of the boat 60 Sahibs and 25 mem-Sehibs, and 4 children—one boy and 3 half grown girls. The Nena then ordered the mem-Sahibs to be separated from the Sahibs to be shot by the Gillis Pultun (Ist Bengal Native Infantry); but they said, We will not shoot Wheeler Sahib, who has made our Pultun's name great, and whose son is our quartermaster; neither will we kill the Sahib-log. Put them in prison.' Then said the Nadire Pultun, What word is this? Put them in prison; we will kill the male.' Se the Sahib log were seated On the ground, and two companies of the Nadite Pultun placed themselves over against them, with their muskets ready to fire. Then said one of the seem -Sahibs,' —the doctor's wife she was, I don't know his name, but he was either superintending-surgeon or medical storekeeper I wilt not leave my husband;, if he must die .will die with him.' So she ran and sat down behind her husband, claspingelim round the waist. Directly she said this the other mem-Sahibs said, 'We will also die with our husbands;' and they all went and sat down beside their husbands. Then the husbands said, Go back,' but they would not. Whereupon the Nena ordered his soldiers, and they going in pulled them forcibly away. seizeng them by the arm ; but they could not pull away the 'doctor's wife, who there remained. Then, just as the Sepoys were going to fire, the padre. (chaplain) called out to the Nena and requested leave to read prayers before they died.. The Nena granted it. The padre's bonds were unloosed so far as to enable him to take a small book out of his pocket, from which he read ; but all this time one of the Sahib-logs, who.was shot in the arm and the leg, kept crying out to the Sepoys. If you mean to kill us; why don't you set about it quickly and get the work done? Why delay ?' After the padre had read a few prayers he shut the book, and the Sahib log shook hands all round. Then the Sepoys fired ' Ooe Sepoy rolled one way, one another, as they sat ; but they were not dead, only wounded ; so they went in and finished them off with swords. After this the whole of the women and children (that is, including those taken out of other boats), to the number of 122, were taken away to the yellow house, which was your hospital. This was the Bithoor Rajah's house in the civil lines, where' I and four more Sepoys . were confined, and where I had the opportunity of talking to the Srgeant-major's wife. After this, when we (Sepoys) were taken down with the Nena to Futtehpore, the women and children were taken away to the house where they were afterwards murdered. ' Were any of our women dishonoured by the Nona or his people ?' Nune that I know of, excepting in the case or General Wheeler's youngest daughter,and about this I am not certain. This was her circumstance. As they were taking the mem Sahibs out of the boat a towar (cavalry man) took her away with him to his house. She went quietly; but at night she rose and got hold of the sowar's sword. He was asleep ; his wife, his son, and his mother• in-law were sleeping in the house with him. She lolled them all with the sword, and then she went and threw 11( rself down the well beside the house. In the morning, whin people came and found the dead in the house. the cry was, 'Who has done this?' Then a neighbour said that in the night he had seen some one go and throw her. sell into the well. They went and looked, and there was Missee Baba, dead and swollen." Our correspondent adds : _ _ I have seen the fearful slaughter-house, and also saw one of the Ist Nstive Infantry men, according to order, wash up part of the blood which stains the fhor before hanging. The quantities of dresses, clogged thickly with blood, children's frocks, frills, and ladies under clothing of all kinds, also boys' trousers, leaves of Bibles, and of one book in particular, which seemed to be strewed over the whole place, called 'Preparation for Death,' also broken daguerrotype cases only, lots of them, and hair, some nearly a yard long ; bonnets all bloody, and one or two stifles. I picked up a bit of paper with on it, Ned's hair, with love,' and opened and found a little bit tied up with riband. The first fellows that went in, I believe, saw the bodies with their arms and legs sticking out through the ground. They had all been thrown in a heap in the well.'' INSIDE DELHI. The following is a narrative of the occurrences in Delhi written by a native residing within the walls of the city :- 0 I the; 11th of May; 1857, up to 8 o'clock in the mornirg all was q•iiet in the city and everything was going on as usual. About halt-past Bit was rumoured that the mutiueers from Meerut were coining to Delhi, No one, however, believed it. About half-past 8 the Darogah of the bridge over the Jumna reported to the Collector Sahib that the mutineers had reached the other side of the bridge, that they had commenced plundering and burning the thatched houses. The collector ordered the immediate destruction of the bridge, and went himself with the commissioner to have the city gate shut. By this time the mutineers came this side of the bridge and entered: the city. They first set on fire the bungalows in Durya Gunj and killed the officers. After wards they plundered the dispensary near the fort, and killed Chimmun Lol, native doctor. Seeing the commissioner going towards the tort, they pursued and killed him just as he had entered the gafe. A general insurrection then took place. The rebels, with drawn swords, were going about the streets ; they molested no natives, but were in search of Europeans. The bazaar was closed. Two regiments of infantry with artillery, which were stationed at Delhi, came into the city. No sooner the rebels saw them than they cried out, " Brethren, we are fighting for religion, and expect your support." At this time the officer com manding ordered the troops to fire. Instead of firing, the Svoys laid down their arms, when the rebels rushed on the European officers and killed two or three of them ; the rest made their escape. The mutineers then attacked the Bank, killed the manager, and indiscriminately massacred the whole of the clerks, their wives and children. The budmashes of the city plundered the Bank and set fire to it. Thence they went to the Kotwallee Chubootra. The Kotwal, Nuzeebs, and Sepoys having fled, they plundered the Kotwallees. They touched no natives ; but wherever they found the Christians they seized and killed them. They continued, to do so till 4 p.m. They plundered and burnt the cutcherries of Foujdaree, Collectory- Dawanee, and Custom•, and killed the European civil officers. Some of them succeeded in making their escape. The rebels then went into the fort and assured the King that they were servan , s of the throne, and that he was their King. .They were about to plunder the magazine, when the European officers blew it up. This caused -a dreadful shock, and about 500 men were killed. The mutineers afterwards took possession of the fort, and removed into it the guns and ammunition from the magazine. That night the bud mashes, accompanied by a few of the rebels, plundered the bazaar. They continued to do so for two days, and released the prisoners of the gaol. The third day the King's Sowaree passed through the city. A proclamation was issued for the bazaar people to open their shops, and arrangements were made by the King's authorities for the protection of the city. Mirza Moghul was appointed Co mmander-in Chief, and Mirza Aboo Bukur General of the Cavalry. The King furnishes supplies to the troops at his own expense. He has not been put in possession of the Delhi treasury ; it is at present under the custody of the Tilungas or Infantry, 20,000 r. has been received from the Goorgaon treasury. A party of from 200 to 400 Sappers and Miners have arrived. About five or six COM. panies from the regiment came in yesterday from Myn- MAJOR BERESFORD ON INDIA. At the annual meeting of the Rca ling Labourers' Friend Society, on We lneirhl evening, the Right :am William Fleresford, M. I'., in the chair, remarked, on prop sing the Army:aria Navy, that in the most peec!ful times, when the services of tin army ar.d navy were- least ropirerl, the mf , ntion of their names always gave rise to a feeling of enthusiasm. (H.,!ar, hair.)

It was plain, from all accounts that had been recA.r:d from ladit, thAt the war was of a most-for midable character, and as a corroborative proof, he had only to mention that a greater number of troops were being despatched than was sent from this csuntry at the c )m -mencement of the Crimean war. He trusted that, hos ities would soon be brought to a termina!icn, .and that _ _ • the results of ihe•war.:would, by Divine Provickhce, be a firm and lasting .p.: . ace. I. was a deeper and greater war than this country .had been ,engiged in for many, years, and was rendered greater and more difficult owing to the -distance of its seat from our shoes ; the resat, however, could not be doubted. Our army wid navy required the - , support of all lovers of their.counfry, for they would • h ave t o avenge the, blood, not of fallen cornr?des, but of helpless and innocent women,and There was one persln in conritc•ion' with the subject whose name r quired sped 1 allusion. He meant General Havelock,—('oud cheers)—who, before any great lapse of time, he hyped would return to receive the wel come he so rich) , merited. Bat all did not rest with the army ; the n ivy nal s; not be forgotten, for they would occupy a very prom;nent position in bringing the rebellion to a termination, and it was with n i little Weasure that he perceived that Captain Peel and 400 staunch blue-jackets had, with heavier guns than had ever before been seen iu Atte Ganges, gone to :ths seat of war. 11. had no doubt they would make the tyrants sLake in their strongholds. DR. CAHILL IN INDIA. Dr. Cahill delivered on Tuesday evening, in the, Mechanics Institution, Dublin, the last of a series of lec • turn cn India He prefaced the lecture by saying, that in the observations which he would offer on British rule in India, he would speak merely as the cold and disinterested historian, and that he would not allow his own feelings en the subject to interfere. He then referred in detail to the various matters of comparatively recent history in connec tion with India up to the lime when England obtained possession of the greater portion of the country.—Millions of money, he said, had been expended in taking possession of it, and the question wal had we deriied advantages commensurate with the outlay ? The best statesmen said no. History stated that the • crueliies and extortions practised upon the natives exceeded credibility, but with this the Indian government, and not the English govern ment, was chargeable ; but why, it would naturally be asked, did the latter permit the former to sleep and grow lazy in luxury.—The East India Compaey took into their service 270,000 Sepoys, saying that they would assist them in carrying out their rule, and he had no doubt but that the Sepoys would, but it could not be denied that they had been treated badly to a great extent. The very reverend lecturer referred to the work of Captain Harvey, of the Indian set vice in India, in which it was stated that the pay of a Sepoy soldier was Us per month, and that their food was not fit for a dog, and that it was the habit of the young officers to insult the Sepoys on parade in every 'way, and yet, he observe!, these were the men who had very lately been described as receiving the treatment of children. Nobody, he said, could conceive the extortions that had boon practiced on the natives in the system of collecting the revenues of the country until it was reformed by the British government, and even yet there 'was no doubt but that the people had just grounds for complaint. We had done things, not as bad as they had done, but, at the same time, we had committed atrocities (perhaps justified by circumetsnces) which must have left a las ing impression of vengeance upon the universal heart of the naives of the country.. They might have many reasons to complain of our possession of their country for 100 y ears ; we had mulcted them of millions of money at the pint of the bayonet; therefore it would be judicious in the g vern ment of India not to add to those exactions insult to their religious and national feelings ; but when both were being daily insulted, was it, to be wondered that the whole mind of the nation had been brought to a state of the wildest excitement ? The present revolt in India was not the first that took place there. There was no doubt but that we would beat them on the present occasion, after they had committed attrocities unheard of, which we put upon the the Indian government more than upon the Sepoys, for it was the line of conduct that had been pursued for years that led to the perpetration of cruelties that had no parallel in ancient or modern history. But, if we beat them now, they would beat us yet (he said .13 in the b tterness of regret, for he would be sorry that Euglatd should lose Ind a) unless we extended kindness to them—respected their caste and character and prejudice?, and conciliated them by favourable measures. At the conclusion of the lecture a warm vote of thanks was passed to the very rev. lecturer, who briefly expressed his thanks, and retired amid loud applause. • ' MR, DISRAELI ON THE MUTINIES. On Wednesday the anniversary of the R ‘yal Bucks Agricultural Association was celebrated at the " Anchor," near Newport Pagrell, under the most auspicious cir cumstances. asraeli, in responding to the toast " The health of the. county members," said, it was really distressing to find that since tlny last met, 11'4 five months ago, one of the greatest possible calamities that could ever occur had befallen this country. (if course lie allud d to the outbreak in India, rele:cting which two considerations presented themselves. In the first place be felt that there must be every sympathy shown to those many cases of suffering and distress which have chnvaed the eye and softened the heart of everybody in the kingilom. Tice second consideration was this—'het affjrs having corn? to this crisis, the government must take such steps as would tend, not only to vindicate our empire, but also t) uphold the honour and glory of our country. (Applause). These tt ilgs must be well considered ; and more especially so tr cause many things which have taken place were not jos Med. 'I he whole affair had been thought too lightly of, and from what had been seen, there could be no doubt that the proceedings in India formed one of the most important epochs in the history of our Country, and tended more or less to effect the whole of us. (tiear, hear). The last mail lyooght in a more gloomy account of the state of India than ne ever had before in any previocs intelligence, for up to very recently they had by mail after mail had their hopes indulged, but his opinion was that things at this time were worse than ever. (Hear). It would not be to him a matter of very great surprise if in the Purjauh, which they had always been told was so faithful, there was to be an outbreak. Our danger and peril were not from the rebels and their in-tirrections in one distant dependency. In Li 3 opinion, our greatest danger was in ourselves at home not properly valuing the position in which this country was place& (Hear, hear.)

SIR CEIA.ILES NAPIER ON INIDA. At a Reform dinner given to Mr. R. N. Philips, M.P., for Bury, -at that place, on Wednesday evening, in reply to the toast of the " Army and. Navy," Sir Charles Napier said—The unfortunate rebellion now going on in India calls more for military tha❑ for naval operations; but I trust every exertion this great country can make will be made in order to put down the mutiny, and to avenge, and severely !avenge, the injuries and cruelties that have bee❑ iracted on our eountrymen in the East. (Hear, hear.) I don't wish to blame any Go vernment at all, but I think Governments for many years past have been very much to blame respecting India. They were warned, and often warned, by officers who knew the condition of the Indian army and of our Govern ment of India; and they were more particularly warned by a gal:ant relative of mine, now no more. (Hear, hear.) He said to them, " Take care of India, take care of our army there, rule it better, and officer it better, or the day will came, and it is not tar distant, when there will be a mutiny and a rebellion in that country." All that he said was neglected or despised, and he was himself pulled down and ill-treated by the Government whom he recom mended to be more careful in their conduct. But I will not blame one Government more than another. Those warnings wire given to all , Governments, whether Whig or Tory, and they ware neglected and despised. The thing for us to do now is, not to recriminate, but to do all we possibly can to repair the mischief. Let by-gones be by-gones, and let us all, of every denomination, whether Whig, Tory, or Radical, put our shoulders to the wheel, and endeavour to send reinforcements to that country, and save our fellow-countrymen, and particularly the women and children. (Cheers.) In the first instance, we were not sufficiently active in sending troops to India. It appears by a paper I have here that our fist troops sailed only on the Ist of July, while the news of the mutiny arrived on the 28th of May. I think there was great blame, but the blame was not to the Government, but to yourselves. You cried out and insisted upon the GovernmEnt doing away with the Income-tax, and the Government was obliged, in consequence, to make great reductions in our army and navy. They were taken by surprise in India when the mutiny took place, and we had not ships in England of any description to send our troops cut in. I can say, for myself, I used all my exertions to convince the House of Commons of the absolute necessity of this great country kseping up estabiishments for all contingencies ; but we were tired of the income-tax, and I dare say we had reason to be so. (Hear, hear.) Nevertheless, this country ought never to be left without a proper defence both naval and military. What have we gained ? You got rid of the 91, and I believe you wi'l have Is to pay in future. (Laughter.) Don't you lay the fl ittering unction to your souls that this rebellion is to be put down so easily. I have not the slightest doubt but it will be put down, but you must pay for doing it. (Hear.) It is all very well to say the East India Company must pay ; but I tell you the E tat India Company is England in this case, and if the East India Company cannot pay the bill J.,hn Bull must pay it. (Hear, hear.) It was the people of England, and you here as much as'anybody else, who were to blame, and I am not afraid to yell you so. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) You insisted on reduc tions. I went myself to Lord Palmerston and said, My Lord, if you will stand up in this Ho•ase, and say you will not be responsible for this country unless a proper army and navy are kept up, you may depend upon it you will receive the cheers of the country from one end to the other," and I am sure that would have been the case ; but Lord Palmerston, like other Ministers, was afraid of losing h s position. (Laughter.) I dare say other Ministers have done the same, but I am sorry the reduction took place. I remember, in 1827, when Spain marched an army into Portugal during the Administration of Mr. Canning, whe❑ we kept up a navy in England of so many sail of the line; Mr. Canning came down to the House of Commons and said :—" We received the news the day before yesterday of Spain invading Portugal. A Cabinet Council was held that day; the Prince Regent's opinion was taken on the following day, and at the time I am addressing you we have 10,000 men in full march to Portugal." (Hear, hear.) Now, if you had not insisted on the army and navy being reduced, I have no hesitation in saying that in 48 hours you would have been able to send 10,000 or 15,000 men out to India. Just reflect on what horrors that would have saved. You would have prevented the horrible massacre at Cawrapore, and the threatening of Lucknow at the present moment, where there are 1,000 English, men, women, and children, locked up, short of provisions, with few to defend them, and an army of barbarous rebels besieging them• I wish to God I could take all this assembly here to Lucknow, with even only blulgeons on their shoulders, and we would save all those unfortunate creatures from being murdered. (Cheers.) Massacred they will be, unless indeed the officer in commend there has decision and determination sufficient. He is in an awful position. Those women and children have only the choice of being violated and murdered, and treated in the most barbarous , manner in the event of the rebels sueceeding in taking the place ; and the Governor has absolutely nothing to do to save them from this ignominy and cruelty but to destroy the whole of Lucknow. That, Ladies, may appear to you a horrible thing—but what can be done? We have seen what has been done at Cawnpore, and when we reed on what musts be donvr at Lucknow, if no relief has taken place, there its noticing on earth left but for the man in command with , his own hands to destroy his fellow cowl ' trymen, women; and children. It is a horrible thought, an awful thing to• think of, that with our own hands we must apply the match to destroy our women and children to rescue them from the horrid barbarities that were practised at Cawnpore, and will be practised again at Lucknow if the rebels succeed. But I will say if the Government were rather slow in beginning, I myself and other members of the • House of Commons did all we could to urge them to send troops out with more vigour than they were u s i ng ; yet after they had once begun they have gon e on w i th the greatest energy possible. Seventy-seven transports have now sailed ; 35,000 men are gone, and 4 000 or 5,000 more are ready to embark Elie moment we have the means of sending them. But it will take three months before they. can arrive in India. When they have arrived, there cannot be the smallest doubt that the reb Ilia; will be put down ; and I hope the cause of the murdered will be most severely avenged. lam not of a barber )us nature myself, but r know - no punishment that can possibly be inflicted on those wretches that will be sufficient Putting them to death is nothing—it is almost mercy; hut though I would save their women and children, not one other human being should live there if we .had the power 'of' puttieg them to death. I am• sure there is not one, not even the most kind and most religious in the world, that for one moment would be mealy-mouthed enough to say' that, one of theirs should be saved. (Here, hear.) the horrors of which we have read in the newespapers have never been ecaualled in any country in the world and I do hope we shall go on pouring troops into India.. But even if you put down the rebellion, there is a great deal to be done before you can organ:se en army sufficient to restore our power in that unfortunate and unhappy. country. I call it unhappy and unfortunate because even tha inhabitants themselves must suffer degradation and infamy from the conduct of their soldiers. We hare not yet done enough. in ply opinion, for India. We have c died out only 10,000 of the militia. We must call out the whols of the militia of Great Britain and Ireland;. and we must send every man who can carry arms to India as fast as we can. We must. give up China altogether ; it is a flea-bite in comparison with India, and we can settle that any time at our leisure. (hear, tvar.) Let us pour troops into India as fast as we can, and I do trust, though we cannot expect it by the next mail, that every successive mail will bring naws of the arrival of fresh reinforcements in.a2l pArts of India, to prevent further massacres taking place. (Haar, hear . ) I cannot express to you my gratitude far the exertions the Government are at list malciag. We have a minister at the head of th , Government; in Lard Palmerston, who, I am happy to say, I am glad to think that we Must look. upon as a most energetic minister. Neither years nor anything else hive any efbct upon him, I believe. He is a good deal older than I am, and Gad knows I am old• enough—(laughter)—but I believe that man is a fit man to be the mini , ter of this country. and if he is well sup ported, as I think he is, by his assistants and colleagues, he will b able to bring this,war to a successful termina tion. (Hear, hear.) . . ENGLAND'S SINS Ii INDIA. We have, here in India a record to look back upon, which should rather shame -into silence those who, in England and India, have had the responsibility of the government.. It is needless to dwell on the dark early history of noto-ious _and unscrupulous corruption. The llouSe of flo:nrnons did its duty then, is exposure; and such an exposure it was as probably could not be exceeded, if there hadbeen a commission of inquiry into the gains of Turkish Pashas. But more ordeidy times succeeded. Then Lord Wellesley came to India, and such was the tone of public sentiment, that Dr. Buchanan had to inform him that, up to that time, there never had been divine service at Barrackpore,or at any other station. Then soon followed the days of opposition to Christian Missions, and to the resolution passed by the House of Commons, in 1793. Carey and his companions were warned to leave the country—Judson and his associates were banished from India. By the pilgrim t9x ; by the grants to heathen temples ; by the superintendence of Ilindoo trusts (pro nounced to be endowments for pious and beneficial pur poses), liindolism was propped up at a tim. when there was reason to beli've that it was lancuishing. In reasons of drought the aid of the Brahmans was sought (even not long ag►o) to pray for rain ; there was public worship, at the expense of Government, to seek a profit on the trade in salt and opium ; in the work of education the Govern- Ment taught the religious and p'ailosophieal errors of Ilindooism and Mahommedanisro. Trade was hampered by the obstinate re!ontion of internal transit duties. The Government insisted on maintaining its losing trade with India and i's losing trade with China, paying the losses into the hands of shipowning proprietors at home out of the revenue of India. There were obstacles to the settle ment of Europeans in India; objections to the suppression of Sati ; protests against the freedom of the press. There were many years of great vigilence in exacting the land tax, and no single measure of enlarged ben >volenee. Old India became types, in works of fiction, and on the public stage, of prejudice, selfishness, and folly.—" The Coat meree, Resources, and Prospects of India. By Macleod Wylie." INDIA.-THE IRISH NATIONAL BOARD OF EDUCATION. The following letter appears in the Madras Christian "Herald of July 29 :-- Sir,—For once in my life I confess myself ashamed of my country. My blush has been occasioned by the cir cumstance on w!.ich you dilate in your last issue. it is a fact that the Mahommedans, Hindoos, and Parsees of Bom bay, have sent in a memorial to the Government, com plaining that the books read in the Elphinstone College are too much filled with Christian ins'ruction ; and requesting that other boo'ss, perfectly free from every expression of Christian truth. shonli be substituted in their place. The books complained of aro those edited by M'Culloch, and those published by Chambers; and the books solicited are those published by the Irish National Board of Education. Sir, has it come to this, that a body of men in Dublin, baptised into the name or Christ, and professing Christian doctrine,, have published for the ins ruction of the rising generation a set of books which are preferred by the heathen, the Mussulman, and the Fire worshipper, as being more congenial to their anti-Christian min's than even the Socinian productions of Chambers ? Is it the case that the educational works put into the hands of the Irish youth are deemed suffi ciently unchristian to be pot into the hands of heathen children without any risk of communicating any idea of Christianity, and without awakening a single apprehen sion in the mind of the 'Endo() parent as to the safety of his child's faith, of which he is so jealous ?
