They entirely confirm the tele graph report of the brilliant successea of 'General Havelock over Nene. Sahib, and utehe,ppily also the report of the butchery of Ifeetropeans at Cawnpore. Some few of these, however, who had been concealed by their native serrantse eacaped It is now tamest certain. that the atrocious miscreant, Nene Sahib, the ringleader of the conspiracy, the murderer, not °rely of the fugitives, who might have expected protection at his hands, hut also of those whe, confiding in his deceitful and treacherous promises, had 'capitulated at Cawnpore, and had expiated his diabolical effeuces by an act of self-murder—all his family, according to Eastern custom, being involved in one common destruction. This is a striking example to the rebels. It shows that the man to whom they chiefly locked as the bead of their confederacy, the acting chief of the future Indian Empire, bad totally despaired, and avoided impendirig justice by an act-of self-immo lation. This rests on no doubtful authority. It is colitained in a despatch from the camp of the gallant Havelock, in which it is stated that, after the unopposed destruction of Bithoor, the rebel leader had at first contemplated going to.Lueltnow, but when he came to the river, finding himself de serted by his cavalry and infantry, he had drowned himself with all his family. It is a positive relief to the national mind, says a London evening co temporary. to know that the career of this san guin iry ruffian has been brought to a summary conclusion. " There was not a single redeeming feature in his character. The blackest trea chery was added to the most fiendish cruelty. His victims were those with whom be had previously associated, and for whom he professed sincere friendship—whom he bad promised to protect, actually pressing them to seek reeugein his fortress at Bithoor, where they would be s.fe from any outbreak ! And yet it was by his orders that they were consigned to the most horrible and heartrending des ruction." Advices have been received of a late date from Delhi, and a decided change is manifested in their tone. The British held their ground gallantly, awaiting reinforcements without the elightest dew cline of their confidence. The operations against the mutineers had been completely successful ; ru defeat. The very latest cffieial despatehes from Bombay states that the mutineers at .Delhi were evidently becoming exhausted. A report current in the metropolis within the last fewdaye that Agra had been surrendered is shown to have no foundation. In the abstract of the official intelligeaee by way of Bombay—which we print in anetheanalumn— a very complete view is given of the progress of affairs throughout the disturbed provinces. A report reached Bombay, just as the mail was being closed, that an affair had taken place at Arrah— a town between Dinepote and Gezipore—hetween 400 men of the Queen's 10th Foot and another regiment, the mutineers. The detachment is said to have been overpowered by the superior number of the rebels, and forced to retreat with a loss of mine officers and 147 men. Rumour added that 47 Europeans had been previously murdered by the native troops, but whether at Arrah or Dinapore does not appear. The West Derby Ceiardians held their usual weekly meeting yesterday, but no business of importance was transacted, except that in rela tion to Dr. Nevins. The committee.appointed to consider the letter of that gentleinan in relation to the midwifery cases, have reported that in cases of difficulty he is to attend, but as this at tendance will entail upon the Union at,expenee o 20s. to 40s. in each case, the guardians ,have not gained much by their discussion. The other local news does not call for comment. At the police-court, yesterday, Mr. Dermiel Flynn was fined in the sum of 40s. -and costs, for selling lour unfit for human food. Of Home news there is little or none to-day, The Indian Intelligence is absorbing a.ll the attraction, and we will now be inundattle: with letters from correspondents, descriptive cf the events in the East. It is now confidently denied that Mr. Sullivan, the British Coned! at _Lima, has stet his death by assessination. He lead .been severely wounded, but when the mail left, •Leawas '.not dead. A meeting of the creditors of the Surrey Gardens' Company was held en Tuesday toight. A feeling in favour of the amicable atustment.of .existing differences appeared to prevail; at least we judge so from the absence of abusive; epitlrets and personal recrimination. The meeting Ad- , journed without arriving at any practical result. In London, the policemen are making a eousitd ? e against the itinerant newsmen, now that that' have induced the magistrates to interfere with the poor shoebkcks, and they think that they wilt put down the criers of e second" and " third editions. 1 On Tuesday; a brace of these worthies w as appre hended by an efficious policeman for being drunk tad creating a dieurbance in the street; hat really their offence was that of selling copies of the " third editions," and bawling their contents, , perhaps somewhat incorrectly. within the' aristocratic precincts of St. James's-square, to the annoyance of 4 ` the members" of the ' various cluba" The magistrate very properly lismissed the charge, but before he talked about hese men being " great unisances" he should .emember that many a poor fellow who is now turning an honest livelihood by selling daily papers n the streets would otherwise make his appearance n the police courts in a much less inATensive iberaeter then that of a street newsvendor. • There is nothing of inter,st from the Continent_ !he Emperor Alexander arrived at Potsdam on (onday afternoon, where he was received by the 'rince of Prussia, the Princes Albert and Charles 'rinee Frederick of Holland, the Grand Duke of Icsklenburtz•Schwerin, the Elector of Hesse ad the Duke of Nassau. Field Marshal laron Wrangel and other generala, the Baron in Manteuffel, and the other ministers, the corps iplomatique, and the municipal authorities were lso present at the reception. The Alexander renadiers formed the guard of honour, and were reviewed by the Emperor, who afterwards went on to Charlottenburg• The Pays states, on the faith of a letter it has received from London, that Lord Canning had directed some of the reinforcements recently ar rived at Calcutta to proceed immediately to Bombay and Madras. Should this intelligence prove true, it ca❑ only be construed into a wise precautionary measure adopted by the Governor-General ; but the Pays of course will infer that it betokens a spread of the revolt in those Presidencies. The Paris Moniteur describes a third grand review at Chalons, commanded by the Emperor and Marshal Canrobert, which took place on Saturday afternoon. The Emperor has left the camp with his suite for an excursion in the neighbourhood, after having re ceived a deputation from the town of Strasburg. It is said that his Majesty has signiied his inten tion of visiting Mentz and likewise Frankfort, in the course of his visit to Germany. This paper also announces that there is no 'foun dation for the report of the formation of a Foreign Legion in the pay of England. It is said 'that Prince ;: , :tpoleon will visit London in October, and witness the launch of -the Great Eastern. The mak , rity of the great proprietors of Mel davia h ►ve chosen Unionist candidates. We-publish. this mormiog, the memorial of Pro fessor Silliman and forty-two others, electors of the State of Connecticut, to President Br..;.thanan, in reprehension of his course -on Kansas affairs, togethar with the raply of the President, in defence of the position he has thought proper to assume. In view of the circumstances which have Galled out this correspondence, the letter of the President assumes an importance which will insure its attentive perusal. THE Mom:roma have lately held conferences in London openly advertised, and known to the authorities. That they have been permitted to do so is a great scandal to a Chris tian country pretending to be governed by laws for the protection of the people. We would not interfere with any man's conscientious religious . belief. The Jew and Brahmin should have full license from us to worship after the fashion of their forefathers until it was the will of Providence to release them from their error. Persecution, it has been well said, makes its victim either a hypocrite or a martyr. We would not assail any creed—but we would crnsh gown Mormonism, which is altogether an imposi tion and a cheat, levelled at the chastity of women, th morals of man, and the property of both. As blas phemous rogues we would shut the mouths of its elders and professors from disseminatdisseminating their lewd and dangerous doctrines. We think the law as it stands is strong enough to punish and suppress the vulgar and obscene ruffians, who, with a coarse imitation of scriptural phraseology, broadly and unblushingly preach vice. We have laws against indecent publications— against the betrayal of z women against conjugal infi laity ; bat these men, iu their solicitations, outrage propriety in every particular, and advocate concubinage as part of their system. Our judges have often boasted that the Bible is portion of the common law of England. If so, how is that law administered when, in the face of day, such principles •can be broached. People are bad and ignorant enough when left to the pramptings of their own natures, and it is the duty of those who are in authority to guard them from the demoralisation of the teachings of studied villains. In America, their victims, chiefly drawn from these islands, are counted by thousanJe. Divided by great wastes from the honest portion of the inhabitants, to whom their con tact would be pollution, Brigham Young and his . horrid assgeiates celebrate the orgies of their disgusting union. There, the plundered and deluded creatures who have been enticed away with stories of patriarchal simplicity, and a life of sech unselfishness, that the goods of all are common property—find murder, and lust, and rapine, the real articles of that earthly pandemonium. The President of the United State;, has avowed his intention of blotting out that foul spot upon the character of the country under his administration ; and a large army will ere long be sent to rescue the unhappy beings isolated there. Yet whilst we ted the United States roused to such energy, we are shocked wi h the spectacle of the prop tgancliste of such infernal doctrines, labouring un molested in the metropolis to degrade their dupes to the commission of the same enormities which hronoht merited destruction upon jhe Anabaptists is G rmu , iv. The authorities seem unwilling to interfere with anything which is traLsacted under the pretence of a creed ; but here, we repeat, the shallow artifice should not misl-ad any one. These men are the advocates of crime, and as such their teachings and solicitations should be promptly stopped, and they themselves punished with the strictest severity.—Cork. Paper. SWOT CRUELTY AND EVRIPEA.N VENGEANCE.—TIie following is from a young el:leer in the Ist Bengal Fusiliers (Europeans). It is dated from Camp Race, 20 miles from Delhi, Juse 5, 1857 : —Yesterday we hanged five brutes who had W-treated some ladies who wcte escaping from Delhi. The poor girls went to the village begging water ; they chaffed them, asking them if they would like it iced ;' refused to give them water, stripped them of their clotheF; and when they went down on their knees begging these beasts to give them something back, they throw them an old native petticoat. Thank God, we caught these black devils. A court-martial was held, aad twenty minutes afterwards I got an order to bring out my company to keep order at the execution. Onta of these men was an awfully repulsive brute, and his rope broke, and he tried to escape, bat I had six men with guns loaded close by the gallows, and he was co sooner down than I sent a man up close to him to shoot him through the head, which was done. We jammed them into a grave. Hiadoos hate being buried : they liked to oe pitched into a river, and they think they will not go to heaven if buried. All the niggers were in an awful funk. There are• twelve more brutes to be hanged to night; Since I wrote last, another massacre hes taken place at Delhi cf some poor women w'ao were found Lil in a cove. The details are m - sst horrible, and I swear by Heaven, if T. am not shot before I get into Delhi, no one shall get quarter from me, r,or from the c pany I command. A sepoy was knocked over by ono man, and ached we came op to him he was sitting up, the whole of the lower part of his face shot away, and hanging in one bleeding .mass over his )react. He was yelling with agony. One of our men went no to shoot tim, hut the rest cried out, Let bins be, remember bow they tortured our people, Bill.' Bat I could not stentl the .sight. I sent a men .up, who, shooting Lien through the temple, put him eu; of his agony ani sent hilt to his last account." HEALTH OF LONDIN DURING TOM WEER.—The present return indicates an improved condition of the public health. The deaths registered in London in the week that ended on Saturday (S.vtember 12th) were 1,023 ; during seven previous weeks they rose in three instances above 4,200, and the lowest weekly number was 1,081. If the average rate of mortality, derived from deaths by all eauses (except th 3 cholera of two epidemic seasons) as they occurred in corresponding weeks of the ten 'years 147-56, had prevailed last week, the number of deaths would have been greater by 128 than that which is actually returned. Diarrheet continues to decline, and last week the decrease was more decided than it has recently been. The deaths from this disease, which in the two previous weeks were 193 and 181, hive fallen to 144. pert the last fortnight the mean weekly tempera ture was a b ou t 60.5 dpg. being less by 5 Begs• and 6 deg , . than it had been in the latter half of August, and less by 8 dega. than it had been in the great heat of July. Of the 144 deaths from diarrhoea, 115 occurred to children; and of 9 deaths from cholera or " choleraic diarrhoea," all occurred to very' young children, except one. Eight deaths are referred to dysentery, and these also, with one exception, occurred to young persous. The deaths from scarlatina rose to 44; and of these 31 o c curred in the west districts, and 9 in the central. Of 89-from typhus and common fever none occurred is the _central 4istriuts. Smallpox was fatal in only 2 oases. One person died of intemperance, one from want of food, one from grief, one from a wound received in dissection ; a lascar (in the Dreadnought ship) from scurvy. The deaths of five nonagenarian's are included in the returns, viz., two women who died at the age of 9J years, two widows at the age of 94, and a spinster who died in Bow,at the age of 97 years. Last week the births of 813 bays and 762 girls, in all 1,575 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1647-56 the average number was 1,443. THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17. 1857. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. INDIA. OFFICIAL DESPATCHES. We are enabled to publish the following narrative of events received from the Govern ment of Bombay : DELHI. The news from Delhi is up to the 29th July. The besieging army was attacked by the muti neers on the 14th, 18th, and 23rd. The assailants were on each occasion repulsed with great loss. On the 23rd our loss was small, but four officers were wounded* and one killed.l- In the three previous engagements on the 9th, 14th, and 18th, our total loss amounted to about 500 killed and wounded. The new Adjutant- General, Brigadier Chamberlain, was severely wounded on the 14th, but is doing well. Since the 23rd there has been no fighting. The Neemuch mutineers and a body of fanatics from Tank are stated to have joined the enemy. Brigadier-General Nicholson is expected to arrive at Delhi from the Punjaub on the 15th of August, with a portion of his reinforcements. His force amounts to 4,200 men, of whom 1,300 are Europeans. General Reid, owing to ill health, has relinquished the command, which is now held by Brigadier-General Wilson. THE COURT. BALMORAL, SEPT. 14.—Her Majesty the Queen, the Prince Consort, and the Princess Royal attended Divine service at Crathie Church, yesterday. In attendance upon her Majesty were Lady Churchhill, the Hon. Flora Macdonald, Earl Granville, Major-General the Hon- C. Grey, and Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps. The service was performed by the Rev. A. Anderson. AMUSEMENTS, &c. AIitIPMITHICATRE.—Madame Celeste, having recovered from her recent illness, has appeared with Mr. B. Webster every night during the present week. Many of the most po pular dramas, in which the characteristics of both artists have been fully developed, were produced, The audiences have not bean so numerous as we could have wished, but the pit and gallery, at least, have been well-filled, and, on the whole, the engagement has been probably as successful as the very warm and summer-like weather we now enjoy could allow any in-door perbrmance to be. The engagement closes with this week. MR. AIM MRS. BARNEY WlLLlAMS.—Therpublic will perceive that these thorougly comic performers will appear in Liverpaal on liilladay night. The "real original' , Irish Boy and Yankee Girl were singularly successful when they last appeared in Liverpool, and are sure of a brilliant season during their coming visit. TEEATRE ROYAL.--111r. Barry Sullivan has trans ferred the services of his great talents to the Theatre Rayal this week, and has appeared with much success in some of his leading parts. It may give some idea of the singular varsatility of this remarkable performer's expa• bilities when we say that he can play Sir John Falstaff almost as well as he can play Hamlet, and his performance of the latter we have frequently declared one of the most perfect realizations of the spirit and meaning of a character, combined with external grace and impressiveness, which any stage can produce. THE 3.I&NCHESTER EXHIBITION. The correspondent of a' London paper writes :—" After reading some articles in the London papers on our exhibi. bition I had the curiosity to refer to the returns of the admissions, and I beg to hand you the _result. In round numbers the visits from the opening day to Satur; day last, September the 12th, may be taken at 930,000 of these 217,000 were by season ticket holders, and 713,000 were by cash payments. To reduce these visits to visitors, the 217,000 may, be represented by 14,000 which exceeds the ;number of season tickets ; and from the best estimate I can obtain, I think we may take one third of the 713,000 as having been once, and the re maining two-thirds twice ; this will make a total of 490,000 visitors. If the committee in their calculations assumed that the masses would be attracted by the Exhibition, they made a great mistake. We have not a population within a reasonable distance who can be ex pected to appreciate it, and although one of our newspaper editors started the theory that the study of the ancient masters would interest and elevate the masses, I think that few will be found to agree mith him; it is like feeding infants with " strong meats" To show what the masses can appreciate, I may state that a firm, in Sheffield I think, sent their workpeople to the Exhibition, and also made provisions for them having refreshments there ; yet, notwithstanding this, in a short time after reac*.g the building, few were to be foiled in it, the bulk of them having gone to the Bellevue-gardens, something like your Cremorne. ISTJr can this be wondered at, the people were true to their instincts. One of our papers attempt to rebut your making the money result a test of its usefulness; but if the Exhibition is to have a occai, auu aanougn it does not necessarily follow that all are benefitted, yet still the greater the attendance the greater are the chances of good resulting, and this attendance can only be proved by the money result. I should say anything that can only be seen once should be in that locality where the maximum of persona could see it in the minimum of time." MELANCKOLY SUICIDE.—A. very melant,tholy case of suicide has j occurred at Norwich, the victim being Miss Cooper, matron of the Norfolk and Norwich Hos pital. It appears that on Saturday some little unpleasant oess took place between the thcetried and the board of management. Oa Tuesday morning one of the servants beard violent screams proceeding from her apartment, and on going to it found the deceased in convulsions, suffering great agony. It is thought she took some powerful poison. This is the second matron of that establishment who has destroyed herself from similar circumstances. Toe one prior to the appointment of Allies Cooper drowned htiself in one of the baths in a very determined manner. Immix WATER FlLTZRi.—Since the people of Liver pool have had the Pike water crushed into their stomachs several invtntians, in the shape of filters, hare ben intro duced to ar,ir notice—all, no doulY, good in their way, and all claiming excellence. Without offering any opinion on the merits of the inventors, we may be permitted to remark that we have eareful'y examined the patent filter of Mr. Saundev, of Parker-stteA, and the result of our investigation may be shortly enumerated as 1 llows :—The " Pike wash," in all its impurity, is put into one of these filters. The water is dirty and yellow in colonr—thick with all sorts of impurities at its introduethao. Having passed through the filter. it is beautifully c'ear, indeed brilliantly sparkling. We do not know what effect it has on the quality of the water, but as to purifying it from all deposit of vegetable and animal matter, and making it cle,r as crystal, there can be no mistake, and in these respects the filter cannot be too highly valued. The vessel is simple in construction, but most tff:!ctive in operaien, and we should say for domestic use it is of great value. Clnsideting the advantages it possesses, the cost is inconsiderable, and few families, if they saw the improvement made in the water, would be without one of these useful utensils. A FACT RELATING TO THE POTATO DISEASE is we'l known that most of the growing potatoes began to show signs of disease in the early part of August, and in other vpars the black spot no sooner appeared than thebl::c''enea top followed in a day or two. This year, however, we have had tha spot or blackened leaf for a month or more, and yet the tops are not quite dean ; but there are several in stances where lateial green !hoots ;re making their appear ance. This shows that dry wca' her is the most co:geniol to the potato pat, and that wlain th 3 cycle of dryer sunamers re urns the potato__4lisease will leave us. RE MARXABLE RUN OF BAD I. C. —A down-towu merchant received a remittance from one of his c,rre spundent,;, in the share of a draft on the Ohio Life and Trust Company for $3,000, on the very day on which that institutiun closed its doors. lie immediately telegraphed the fact to his debtor, who cent him another draft on J.din Thompson, which arrived the day after the failure of that broker. The merchant again telegraphed the failure, and riceived in a few days another draft on At ico"d and Cu., just as that firm suspended.—American Faper. _ _ DEGLIADAXJON OF AN AFRICAN CHIEF —At Cape C last Castle, on the 29th June last, a native chief, Aframpon, captain of Wampon, in Western %Yasuo, was &graded for ordering a child to be buried alive. Be had been sen tenced to death, but at tho last moment was reprievel The troops were drawn up in front of the Castle, a royal salute was fired in honour of liar Majesty's accession, and all the civil and military officers attended in fall state, with a groat concourse of persons, to whom the gallows was an appalltog novelty. The aged and trembling culprit was then brought down born the prison, with a rope round his neck, and agitated with fear of his impending fate. Tue Colonial Secretary advanced in front of the fort, and read the Governor's proclamltion reprieving Afframpon, but con demning him to be kep'; a close prisoner for some time, to lodge a large suns of money for his future goo l conduct, and to forfeit his honoars as chief or captain of Wampoa. Tao chief listened to the proelaosa 100 in great agony, His baton or chieftain's staff was then brokea over his head, his sword was also broken, his stool and other insignia smashed, and his dignity as a native ehief thus terminated, with every mark of ignominy. The scene was painfa AGRA. There is no intelligence of any importance from Agra since the battle on the sth of July. The Europeans in the Fort continue healthy. CAWNPORE. General HaVelock's forces having li,defeated the enemy three times, and recaptured Cawnpore. advanced on Bhitoor, which was occupied on 17th July, without resistence. Thirteen guns were taken, but Nana Sahib eseaped. On the 29th July General havelock, having crossed the Ganges, encountered the enemy on the road to Lucknow, and totally defeated an army of ten thousand men. Fifteen guns were taken. The amount of our loss is not known, but is not sup_ posed to be great. The sad intelligence of the butchery at Cawnpore is confirmed, but no authentic details have been received in Bombay. LUCKNOW. General Havelock was expected to arrive at Lucknow on the 30th July, (the day after th e last victory. Private letters from Calcutta state that intelligence has been received of his arrival, but this requires confirmation. PUNJAU B. The Sealkote mutineers were totally destroyed by Brigadier General Nicholson on the 17th July, in an island on the Rivee. On the 30th of July, the disarmed 26th Regiment N. I. mutinied at Meean Meer, and murdered Major Spencer, their commanding officer. The mutineers immediately fled, but the pursuit. Aftpr them anfl ;f -that many will eventually escape. The rest of the Punjanb remains tranquil. DINAPORE. Intelligence has been received in Calcutta of the mutiny oj three regiments at Dinapore. They are said to have been attacked and dispersed by her Majesty's 10th Regiment, but no details are yet known. CALCUTTA. All quirt in Calcutta up to the 27th July. HYDERAB.'.-k.D. AU quiet at Hyderabad up to the 14th August. Great fears are entertained cf a rising during the Mohurrnm, whic4 begins on the 22nd of August. A wing of her Majestys 12th Lancers has been despatched from Poona, and is ex pected to arrive at Hyderabad on the 19th of August. MHOW AND INDORE. Brigadier Stuart's column arrived at Mhow on the 2nd inst. accompanied by the Resident Colonel Durand. lkar remains faithful to the British Govern ment, but his troops are much distrusted. RAJPOOTANA. All quiet in the Rajpootana States. NAG POOR. All quiet in NagpoQ. BOM BAY. In the Presidency of Bombay it is a subject of regiet that a mutiny occurred on the night of the 31st July, in the 27th Regiment, sta tioned at Kolapore. The mutiny was confined to about ten hundred men. Of these about one hundred have since been taken, and the mutiny may be said to have been suppressed. Grea t fears were entertained that outbreaks would occur at Belgaum, Dharwar, Sawnut, Waree, -and Rut nagherry, but European reinforcements havi g been thrown into each of these places, the ap prehensions have now, in a great measure, passed away. In Goojerat tranquility has been pre served, and a contemplated rising in Scindia's Mahal, adjoining the Rewa-kanta, has been pre vented by the vigour and activity of the political agent, Captain Buckle. The Government of Mauritius have promptly responded to an appeal from the government of Bombay, and have sent six companies of her Majesty's 33d, and a company of artillery, which arrived in Bombay on the 6th of August. * Col. Drought, 60th Rifles ; Col. Seaton, 35th N.I. ; Major Turner, Artillery ; Captain Money, Atillery. t Lieut. Low, 10th N.I. THE MUTINIES IN INDIA. By the arrival of the Overland Mail, we have re ceived a Bombay Gazette of the 15th August, and an overland Bombay Times of the same date. The lettsr of oar Bombay correspondent has not yet reached us, nor have we received any Calcutta papers. We take the following summary from the Bom bay Times of the 15th August : By the good hand of our God upon us, our English readers will receive advicee from India by this mail of a decidedly cheering character. Although rebellion yet reigns in the upper pro vinces, and mutiny, with all its horrors, is no longer confined to the Bengal army, still it is true that the swelling and inundation of this great re bellion have not merely reached their height, but are actually refiuent. General Havelock, with his chosen band, was the first, successfully, to stem the wild torrent and tnrn the tide. His appointment to the command of the brigade at Allahabad was the inaugoration of victory. Under God, this heroic captain, with his brave Highlanders, has saved India. His march has been so triumphant, his success so marvellous, as to impress even the public mind with the conviction that he has received his mission from a higher than an earthly ruler, an impression rendered all the stronger when it is seen that the first thought of this "mighty man of valour•," in all his despatches, is to ascribe all the glory of his signal achieve ments to the Lord of Hosts; while Christian faith throughout the land has thus been reassured and animated by the inspiration—" The battle is not your's but God's," Go on in this thy might, great and good soldier, and thou shalt save India. General Havelock's force, on the re-occupation of CaWnpore, had, in eight days, marched 126 miles, fought four actions with Nena Sahib's army, against overwhelming odds in point,of numbers, and taken 24 guns of light and heavy calibre, and that, too, in the month of July in India! On the morning of the 17th July the force marched into Cawnpore. The soul-harrowing spectacle which there pre seated itself to them beggars description. The extent of the fright'ul catastrophe now beeatne known. A wholesale massacre had been perpo trated by the fiend Nena Sahib. 88 officers, 190 men of H.M.'s 84th foot, seventy ladies, 120 women and children of Her Majesty's 32nd foot, and the whole European and Christian population of the place, including civilians, merchants, shopkeepers, engineers, pensioners and their families, to the number of about 400 persons, were the victims of this satanic deed. The court-yard in front of the assembly-rooms, in which Nena Sahib had had his head-quarters, and in which the women had been imprisoned, was swimming in blood. A large number of women and children, who had been " cruelly spared after the capitulation for a worse fate than instant death," had . been barbarously slaughtered on the previous morning —the former having being stripped naked, beheaded, and thrown into a well ; the latter having been hurled down alive upon their butchered mothers,- whose blood yet reeked on their mangled bodies. We hear of only four who escaped—a Mrs. Greenway, wife of a merchant, and three Inde-Britons. The diary of a lady is said to have been found at Cawnpore, written up to the day on which she was killed, and containing information of great importance, on which the General is acting. We shall eventually obtain full particulars of the horrible tragedy that has been witnessed there. The small, brave, victorious army of retribution, neiabeeo titia worn out by their unprecedented exploits of the previous eight days, rested a day or two at Cawnpore, and then moved on (reduced in their numerical strength, as the result of their last battle, about one in 15 of their whole force), to meet the enemy again towards Luc:know. After passing by Bithoor, which they found evacuated, and which they burnt to the ground, they met the foe on the 29th July, a'id the following substance of a despa.th from General Havelock to the Commander-in-Chief in Bengal, with which we have been favoured, explains subsequent operations, which ended in the defeat of the enemy on two successive occasions:— "CAMP BUPEER-UL-GUNGE, July 30. " Arrived at Oanao 29th instant. The town protected by a swamp, not fordable on its flank ; houses loopholed, and defended by fifteen guns. I attacked and captured it, with all the enemy's guns. The enemy were aided by a portion of • Nena's force, commanded by Jupa Sing. Halted four hours, and then pushed on the town, which is also surrounded by water, and was defended by four guns. The road to its entrance was destroyed, and the gate cannonaded. I assaulted and carried it with its guns. Enemy's loss heavy; my own severe, being 88 killed and wounded. Private Cavanagh, 64th regiment, would have been recommended for the Victoria Cross, but he was cut to pieces while setting a bright example. I desire his relations may be pensioned. Madras Fusiliers ereatly distinguished themselves, Lieut, Dangerfield being first over the barricade; Lieut. Bogle, 78th Highlanders, was severely wounded while leading the way into a loopholed house recommended to the notice of his Royal Higheees ' the General Commanding-in-Chief. Col. Tytler, who was scarcely able to sit his horse, set an example to all of activity and daring. Lieutenant Havelock's horse was sliot under him". Lieutenant Seton, Madras Fusiliers, acting A.D.C., severely wounded. An entire field_ battery of arms cap tured. Without cavalry I cannot secure horses or equipments. My volunteer horse improve daily." :The latest accounts by letter from General Have lock's camp, dated 30th July, the day after the fight, state that the enemy were about two miles in front The force was at Blyeergange, sixteen miles from Cawnpore. • The force expected to reach Lucknow on the 31st ult., when the little garrison there, under command of Major Banks, which has been so bravely holding out since the death of Sir H. Lawrence, would be relieved. After relieving Lucknow, it is the inten tion of General Havelock to press on to Delhi, a distance of about 170 miles. From Delhi we have received no advices of a satisfactory character. The enemy make an oc3a sional sortie in considerable force, but are inva riably driven back, after doing some injury to us, and much more to themselves. Owing to General Reed's illness, the command of the forces .has devolved on Brigadier-General A. Wilson, of the Bengal Artillery. A battle was fought on the 18th ult., in which Lieutenant Crozier, of H. M,'s 75th Fuot, was killed. The enemy got back into the city, after a .very precipitous flight, with all their guns. Reinforcements were beginning to arrive, so that it was expected that our force would soon be in a position to make a general assault, with the certainty of being able to hold the place after taking it. Intelligence of the fall of the city is anxiously expected. From Agra there is nothing new since the battle related in our last. There are about 6,000 persons shut up in the fort there, and well able to hold out, but anxiously looking for relief. New mutinies have occurred at Dinapore. The 7th, 6th, and 40th Regiment 8.N.1. mutinied about the 23rd ult., and H.M.'s 10th Foot shot down 800 of them. The 12th Irregular Cavalry also mutinied at the same place, murdering their commanding officer, Major Holmes and his wife. The three native infantry regiments were considered staunch, and had actually but a short time before their tiatt.• tiny kept the city of Patna from rising. Here are regiments," says the Poonah Observer, " breaking out at the eleventh hour,when the tide was turning in our favour, and when European troops were passing eontinually up the river, thereby render ing the destruction of the mutineers certain, as if they had waited for some mysterious order, just like the Bareilly troops. Altogether, the more we ponder over it, the more mysterious the whole matter appears to us." These fresh mutinies have caused much excitement at Benares, as the muti neers are making their way, plundering, towards that city. All was quiet in Calcutta, although considerable apprehension was felt in connection with the approaching Mohurrum. The Governor-General has formed a carps of cavalry, to be called the " Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry," with the view of giving employment to the many Englishmen and others in Bengal and the North-West Provinces, whose peaceable avocations have been interrupted by the disturbed state of the country, and who, although in no way connected with the Govern ment, are willing and eager to give an active sup port to its authority at the present time, by sharing service in the field with the troops of the Queen and of the East India Company. We have remarked that mutiny is no longer confined to the Bengal army. The infection has. reached our own presidency —our own troops. In. consequence of the mote scrupulous withholding of intelligence on the part of the Government, the community is kept in a constant state of painful suspense and of liability to alarm and panic. There is no good reason for this scrupulous secresy, as the Queen's and Company's troops, the civilians and the Europeans unconnected with Government, and the loyal portion of the native community, are really strong enough to put down any attempt at insurrection. It would therefore tend greatly to the peace and quiet of the timid if Government would allow the press to receive and publish the intelligence from different parts of the presidency. We know that mutiny has broken out in the 27th Bombay Native Infantry stationed at Kolapore. The only particulars that have reached us regarding it are that a portion of the regiment mutinied on the Buckree Eed—the lstinstant. When the officers were assembled in the - billiard-room after mess, a Jemadar rushed in and gave them warning that the men were coming to fire on them. They immediately repaired to the place of rendezvous previously appointed ; but three young officers, ignorant of theerplace or be— wildered in the darkness, went astray, and were - taken and murdered by the mutineers. The mother of the Jemadar, an old woman, went to the house of Major Rolland, the commanding officer of • the regiment, at the same time that the Jemadar went to the mess-nom, to warn the ladies of their danger, and afford them an opportunity of making their escape. No sooner had the ladies effected their escape than the house was surrounded by the mutineers. Disappointed of their prey, they revenged themselves on the faithful old woman— her fidelity cost her her life. & number of the rebe!s were seized, the rest made their way to other parts of the country. They have since returned, and there has been obstinate fighting there ; but we have not learned the result. Belgaum, Dhar war, Rutnagherry, Sattara, and other places were thus thrown into great excitement. Our reports from those places are, however, so conflicting that we do not feel justified in attempting any state ment regarding them. The Collector of Sattara, Mr ; Rose, a man in every respect equal to the occasion, has thought it advisable to send the ex- Ranees and the adopted son of the late deposed. Rajah to Bombay, and they are now in confine merit on Butcher's Island—a depot of the Indian navy. A plot was discoved at Poonah, concerted between the Moulvies of Poonah and Belgaum, for the massacre of the Europeans and Christians of those stations. Letters were intercepted at the Poonah Pest-office, which. contained full details of the conspiracy, and which enabled the authorities, timely advised, to shun the coming evil. The Moulvie of Poonab, with several accomplices from fhe station, are now pri soners on board the Hon Company's frigate Akh bar, awaiting their trial at the next criminal sessions for high treason. Arrests have also been made at Belgaum and Ahmednuggur of parties im plicated in this Mussu!man conspiracy. Matters had proceeded so far in Poonah that arrange ments had been made and materials prepared for blowing up the arsenal. The community of thee -- station have suffered great anxiety for many days. The authorities have disarmed the natives of the Cantonment Bazaar; but left those of the city, the most to be suspected, in possession of their arms. From the principal out stations the women and children are being sent to Poonah and Bombay, under military escort. Our own city is perfectly quiet, and our citizens free from any serious appre• hensions of evil. There was considerable alarm, occasioned by reports of the worst character, at the time of the Buckree Eed ; but those who experienced it have been fully re-assured. The community have the most entire confidence in the wisdom, vigilance, and firmness of the Right Honourable the Governor, who is the Commandant ' of the Garrison, eel who has left nothing undone in the measures which he has adopted to prevent an outbreak, or to crush it the instant it should be attempted. His Lordship is fully alive to his serious responsibilities at the present crisis, and in most indefatigable in his Exertions, thus setting an example to all under his authority. Heads of de partments receive orders from him before they are out of their beds in the morning, and they are not unfrequently called upon by him to report on the execution of them after they have gone to bed at night. He enjoys in the highest degree the grati tude and confidence of all the well disposed in the community, and he is a terror to all others. He has made every possible preparation for the accom modation and comfort of the additional troops ex pected from England, and has retained in Bombay her Majesty's 33rd Foot, the Duke of Wellington's Regiment, just arrived from the Mauritius In every department of the service there is prompti tude, activity, readiness ; and in the bosom of every member of the community there are quietness and assurance. India has received a blow from the effects of which. she will take long to recover—a check to her career of improvement and progress which, will retard her for many years to come. - A large dis,rict of the country has been, as it were, sowed with salt; public buildings and property of every kind have been destroyed ; public treasuries have been spoliated, and the sinews of national improve ment, as well as of war, have been cut ; the minds of many have been unsettled, and infected with disloyalty; a vast multitude of precious lives have been sacrificed, and among these the lives of the greatest and wisest men in the land. The right wing of Her Majesty's 33rd (or the- Duke of Wellington's) Regiment of Foot, under the command of Lieutenant• Colonel J. D. John stone, C. 8., arrived in Bombay, from the Mauritius on August 4, in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Pottinger, which left Port Louis on the 23th of July. The ship Canning,. which left the Mauritius on the 25th of July, also arrived on the same date, with another company of the 33rd Regiment, besides a company of Royal . Artillery. The whole of these troops have been. brought on the strength of the Bombay garrison, and will be located in the Town Barracks. The following officers were at Neemuch on the 7th July:—Major Barton, Capt. Showers, Capt.. Lloyd, Lieut. Ritchie, Capt. Laurie, Lieut. Barnes,. Capt Sir J. Hill, Lieut. Ellice, Lieut. Stapleton, Lieut. Williams, Dr. Murray. Casualties.—Col. Menteath, 69th Bengal N.I. ; Colonel Case, H.
