Private e l y - Y uuncied, o s and Private Purcell's horse was killed under him. The Sowar's name is Roopur Rhea. Our fire re-opened, and the enemy were driven back to to the town. The following is General Hivelock's communi cation explanatory of his first movements towards Cawnpore : Cawnpore had suddenly fallen, by an act of treachery unequalled in our annals, save by one fatal event beyond the Indus. No time was to be lost ; so on the 10th my column marched, under a frightful sun, fifteen miles to Synee, and resuming their coarse at eleven o'clock at night, joined Major Renaud on the road, by moonlight, and with him marched to Khags, fivo miles from Futttehpore, soon after dawn, and took a position. The heat was excessive, but there were now on a point 1,400 British bayonets, and eight guns, united to a small native force. . . Our information had :been better than that of the enemy, for when Lieutenan'.colonel Tytler pushed a reconnaissance up to the town, they evidently supposed they had only Major Renaud's gallant but small force in their front, for after firing on tho Lieutenant-Colonel and his escort, they insolently pushei forward two guns and a force of infantry and cavalry, cannonaded our front, and threatened our flanks. _ I wished earnestly to give our harassed soldierd rest, and so waited until the ebulition should expend, itself, making no counter disposition, beyond posting 100 Enfield Rifi!men (64th) in an advanced copse. But the enemy maintained his attack with the audacity which his first supposition had inspired, and my inertness fostered. it would have injured the morale of my troops to p srmit them thus is be bearded, so I determined at once to bring on an action. Futtehpore constitutes a position of no small strength. The hard dry Grand Trunk road subdivides it, and is the only means of convenient access, for the plains on both sides are covered at this season by heavy lodgments of water, to the depth of two, three, and four feet. It is surrounded by garden inclosures of great strength, with high walls, and has within it many houses of good masonry. In front of the swamps are hilloeks, villages, and rn.ngoe groves, which the enemy already occupied in force. I made my dispositions. The guns, now eight in num ber, were formed on and close to the Chaussee, in the centre under Captain Maude, Royal Artillery, protected and aided by 100 Enfield Riflemen of the 64th. The detachments of Infantry were, at the same moment thrown into line of quarter-distance columns, at deploy ing distance, and thus advanced in support, covered at discretion by Enfield skirmishers. The small force of volunteers and Irregular Cavalry moved forward on the flinks, on harder ground. 1 might say that in ten minutes the action was decided, for in that short space of time the spirit of the enemy was utterly subdued the rifle fire reaching them at an unexpected distance, filed them with dismay, and when Captain Maude was enabled to push his guns through flanking swamps to point-blank range, his surprisingly accurate fire demolished their little remaining etdidence. In a moment three guns were abandoned to us on the chaussee, and the force advanced steadily, driving the enemy before it on every point. Major Renaud won a hillock ou the right in good style, and struggled on through the inundation. The 78th, in extension, kept up his communication with the centre; the 64th gave strength to the, centre and left; on the left the 84th and a regiment of Ferozepore pressed back the enemy's right. As we moved forward the enemy's guns continued to fall into our hands, and then in succession they were driven by skirmishers and contains from the gar4eu enclosures, from a strong barricade on the road, from the town wall, into and through, out of and beyond, the town. They endeavoured to make a stand a mile in advance of it. My troaps were in such a state of exhaustion that I almost despaired of driving them further. At the same time the mutineers of the 2nd Light Cavalry made an effort to renew the combat by charging with some success our Irregular H rse, waose disposition throughout the fight was, I regret to say, worse than doubtful. Bat again our guns and riflemen were with great labour pushed to the front. Their fire coon put the enemy to flight, and my force took up its present position in triumph, and parked twylve captured guns. have rseille g r lorni n g by ILS. ; D•rll' l iasi llsl. tar, Oc t , o, l lth ° bad- at n _b o usa -ibralt° EsDAI• be Rce' Vag e°l7l s ee r (): B Of the v stree t issistO ison ers r. t Sll ll4 b ut ftillY The y o dtue arier ovt 114 3v : I le Passe 1 T 9316 by 0' )110 '3.14 re rro , "l erlook l , ntS t' f ' t 1 SO' o f fot " !rig' , ' t" t o titg , • saeGe o iews le, we! it wlsk, it I:03 40 ; FlraPPg' s who c -- g r ain the 034 n t e "PP% strue hee° 3 sing groThe )11t 10 of THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1857. DR. LIVINGSTONE AT HOPE HAIL CHRISTIAN Yesterday, at noon, a very large and highly fa •hiinabls assamb!y was held at the Hope Hall, Hope-street, fo: the purpose of hearing that eminent and renowne I Africsn traveller, Dr. Livingstone, debar an adiress on his rase:fiches and tratel* in that quarter of the gl..be. The Rev• Dr. R sfilai took the chair. Amongst the company present w 3 observed Dr. Taylor, the Revs. W. Graham, Coward, Kel y, a d Rots ; Messrs. J. Dawson, Wright. J. D.Grashing, J. Mann. W. Hareas, W. Pennington, W. Crossfield, A. C. Stewart, &c. &c , and a very lar o e number of ladles. Th 3 mee•ing was opened by singing and prayer. The Pre 'dent said—Ny Christian &hada, it w ,uld indeed be un gracious h me to occ apy your time by any iztrod•actory remarks on the p - esant occasion. particularly when I tell you th A Dr. Livingstone has engage Ito appear at a meeting iu Birralaglastn t night, there fora we mast not detain him long, and as we are met to hsar Dr. Livingstone, and to listen to hi.n a' one, I shall not make any further remarks. He than canc'uded by introducing Dr. Livingstone, who was mast cordial y raceived. The applaase having in souls degree sea sited, Dr. Livingst ne came forward, and said, that he sopp seed that mast of the-people who attended missionary me tinge w:shed to know what were the effects of missions. Wren he (Dr. L'yingstone) first want to South Africa, about sixteen years ago, he had formed an exaggerated idea as to what had been effected by missionary labours, and when he got to Colobla, shout 70) miles from the Cape, the coa equeuza was that he felt greatly disappointed, from the fact that he ha I previmsly termed sac aan exaggerated id-a ; bat he had not then examined the subject from a proper po'nt of view. He ha 3 not camparel the state of the people there with the heathens who ilhabited the interior of the country; but he found that chnrches had been established, and to that day he fait grateful that so much had been do e. He then we t on to compare the state of South Africa forty or fifty ye rs - ago with what he found it Then, the Hottentot populatbn ware living in a state of d gradation and slavery, but now they had church ea an 3 szho ale, and civilisation was spreading throughout thesonntry, and se lanadreds believing and dying in the faith th tt their souls weald he saved through the salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ. His object was to go where no o' her missionary had ever been before, and he, with the a isistaaco of the London Missionary Society, went up the country to Baum-tin, wher he fervid all the people in a state of heathenism, ant who lad , ever seen a missionary baf ate. When there, ha toutid the chief of the tribe a most intelligent man, and he re ueoted to put 531113 vestions to him, which be answered. He had explahaed to them the beauties of the Gospel, a•:d what it ta ight. The Chief fi - sti asked:him if his fo - efathers had known al l these things before him ; and when he to'd him that, th y had, his reply wai, `• your fo-efathere and my f trerathers , ived at the same time how is it hat year brefathers did not re td tows sooner ?" That was rather a peace, bat he explained to him ths difll mlties of traverinj to them and that; as they had reached them, they wer going to send the Gaspe of Christ to all the southern parts of the country. " But," sail the Chief, " you can't get vast the great desert ; no person can do that" D - . Livingstone Vasa explained the geographical position of this great dezert, and informed the‘c..ief that it cou'd be done, as the Lord had said the truths of Salvation should be promulgated throughout al part§ of the earth. Some years after that the great de ert wee pas ed by Mr. M'Cal33. At Bacq•tain found the pe vie all liv ng in • heathenlsm, and he blind it impossible to convince them that their Chief caul I not make rain, and, after much trouble, he gave it rt t; but he was convince i that the only way that they con d d 3 it would be to Instruct them In the knowledge of Go I—let teem once have • that knowledge in their heads, and that would explain all other matters to them. This chief had a perfect belief in the gospel, a -al the people thought that he (Dr. L ) had wove some Bp over him; and they thought that it was him who prevented him tron making It rain;_ and fro luently— for there Was a gr , at drought at the nil deputation of the old men would call noon him, and say—" Look, our corn is yellow—it will all be spoilt, if we have not any rain, arid our eh ld ea and cotton will all die ; only lot him make rain, and than we will come to church and sing and pray with you as long as you like." The chief had learned to read, and, from the beAln tin;, loved the gospel ; and although seine ()this people hat deserted him, he soon commenced prayer meetin4s at his house, and conducted . them• himself, and he had never heard more simple or mere effective prayers offered. up to God than were by that chief. And frevently as he hat, been pasting along from thence to his own.heese, he had heard the people praying in a loud voice from the bushes. He next explained the troubles that arose from the " bores ". making an attack on that iadependent state —sad the difference of the lahabitauts of the districts—and sta•ed hat the people at the Cape were as much against s'avery as the people of England were. The Chlefvf Bacquain had said he was mad a chief by God, and he would die a chief ; be, after a time, the " be,es " same and attacked his people, and took away 20) of the children f-r slaves. This was after the b,res had been male indepen dent by the or der of the governor of the c bony, sad that was their prat act after their a nancipation. Raving derailed the part calars of the chief's determioatl m to go at once to the Queen of Kng'and to tell her of theetteck that hat bees made u, on him. and how he d s seaded him of the difficulties that he would hive to encounter, and the futi'ity of such a proce lure, which even ualV proved corro;t, he p ocee led to describe his travels from B tcquaha to Lake rgaral, in whinb he alluded to the worn publiohod In- r— oo the hunt faithful doe titioa of the scenes which to ,k place, although some p 's who had not visited the country co 'id scarc:ly bel'eve it but that was fr ,m the fact that they ha I no; witnessed the o; but as he could say woe!, that there might perhaps be some thin 48 that he might o' , ject to, as Mr. Cummins might 'object to some of his observations ; tut, alto;ether he thought, the book gave a faithful des riled= of the hanting—such as it was.

Whilst prosecuting my march towards Cawnpore, it beca ne a matter of deep:interest to me to learn whether the fine bridge over the Pandoo Nuddee had been destroyed or not. The stream is not at this season foriable, and the delay in crossing by other means, or at any other noint, would have been most damagiug to the objects of the expedition. Intelligence meanwhile came in to the effect that the village of Aeng was strongly occupied by the enemy, that he was entrenched across the road, and had two Horse Ar illery guns in position. • I therefore reinforced . the advanced guard, under Lieut.- Colonel Tytler, by attaching to him, in addition to the small body of Volunteer Cavalry, six guns of Captain Maude's battery and the detachment of her Majesty's 64th Regiment. The enemy's entrenchments were not. formidable, but the country being tWelify wooded, he was enabied to maintain himself for some time against our fire, during which interval large bodies of cavalry ac anted on both II inks, with the intention of capturing Tarr baggage, but the enemy was unable to capture a single baggage animal, or follower. The last attempt was deitiated by the Bag gage Guar s, wheee fire was very effective. Sson, however, the Lieutenant-Colonel overcame all resistance, drove the enemy before him, and captured his canon. The road was Strewed for miles with abandoned tents, ammunition, and other materials of war. Ho reports to me, in high terms of coal= nda ion, the conduct of the troops immediately under his command, of Capt. Maude, comieanding the battery, and of Lieutenant Havelock, 10th Foot. m y aide de-.,amp, and Lieutenant Moorsom, 52nd Light Infantry, whom I had placed at his disp rsal. The troops were haulted for refreshment and short repose, when authentic information was received that the bridge on the Pandoo stream was not 'destroyed, but defended by entrenchments, and two guns of garrison calibre. \Dispositions hed to be made to force the passage of the stream. Fortunaielee the bridge was at a salient bend of the river in our directlen- Ceptain Maude at once sug gestea to me his desire to envelopelt with the artillery fire, by placing three guns on the road, and three oa _either flank. The whole of the Madras Fusileers were extended as Enfield Riflemen, as being the most practised workmen in the force. They lined the banks of the stream and kept up a biting fire. - • The - enemy opened an effective cannonade upon our columns as they advanced along the road. Teey, there fore, deployed and advanced with great steereness in . parade order in support of the guns and riflemen. Capt. Maud's bullets soon produced an evident effect, and then the right wing of the Fusileers, suddenly cicsing, threw themselves with rare gallantry on the bridge, carried it, and captured both guns. These two affairs cost me 25 men killed and wounded, as shown in the accompanying return. Gcneral Haveloch, in his nest despatch, !Teaks of the triumph of the pretender Nana Sahib being of short, duration, and proceeds : The treacherous proceedings by which he compassed the destruction of the force under the g4llalt Sir Huch Wheeler have already ben reported to the C nnaiander in-Chief. _ _ I have now to announce the complete discomfiture of the force under his personal command, and the capture of his cannon, followed by the re-occupation of C ►wnpore, which, since the 6th June, he has been devatating and desecrating by every form of cruelty and oppression. He filled up the measure 'of his iniquities oc the 15th ; for. on hearing that the bridge at the Pandoo Ntiddee was forced, he ordkred the immediate massacre of the wives and children of cur British soldiers still in his possession in this cantonment, which was carried out by his followers with every circumstance of barbarous malignity. My information was in every respect gond, and I ascertained that he had taken up a position at the village of Ahirwa, where the grand truck road unites With that which leads direet to the Military Cantonment of Cawn pore. • His entrenchments cut and rendered impassible both roads, and his guns, seven in number, two light and five siege etilibre, were disposed along his position, which consists of a series of villages. Behind these his infantry, consisting of mutinous troops, and his own armed followers were disposed for defence. It was evident that au attack in front would expose the British to a murderous fire from his heavy guns sheltered in his entrenchment. I resolved therefore to mace tyre to turn his left: My camp and baggage were accordingly kept back, under proper escort, at the village of Maharajpoor, and I halted my troops there two or three hours in mango-groves to cock, and gain shelter from a burning sun. My column then moved off, right in front ; the Fusileers' led, followed by two guns; then came the Highlanders, in rear of whom was the central battery of six guns under Captain Maude. •The 64th and 84th had two guns more in the rear, and the Regiment of Ferozepore closed the column. - - - • My troops, defiling at a steady pace, soon changed di rection and began to circle round the enemy's left. They were shrouded fo some time by clumps of mango; but as soon as the enemy comprehended the object of their march; an evident sensation was created in his lines. He pushed forward on his left in large bbdy of horse, and opened a nee of shot and shell from the who'.e of his guns. But he was evidently disconcerned at our.advance on his flick, and anxious for his communication with Cawnpore. My troops continued their progress until his left was whblly opened to our attack, and then formed line and advanced in diract echelon of regiments and batteries trona the right. A wing of the Fusilier's again covered the advance extended as Riflemen The opportunity - had arrived for which I had long anxiously waited, of developing the powers of the 78th Highlanders. Three guns of the enemy were strongly posted behind a lofty lianalet Well Wrenched. I directed his regiment to advance, and never have I witnessed conduct more admirable. They were led by Colonel Hamilton, and followed him with surpassing steadiness and gallantry under -a heavy tire. As they approached the village they cheered and charged with the bayonet, the pipes sounding the plbrach. Need I add that the enemy fled? the village was taken, and the guns captured. On the left Major Stirling with the 64th was equally suceesful against another village, and took three guns. The enemy's Infantry appeared to be everywhere in full retreat, and I ordered the fire to cease, when a reserve 24 pounder was opened on the Cawnpore road, which caused considerable loss to my force, and under cover of its fire two large bodies of Cavalry at the same time riding insolently over the plain, the Infantry once more rallied. The beating of their large drums, and numerous mounted ()facers in front, announced the definite struggle of the " Nana" for his usurped dominion. I had previously ordered my volunteer Cavalry to ad venture a charge on a more advanced party of the enemy's horse. and I have the satisfaction to report that they con ducted themselves most creditably. One of their number, Mr. Carr, was killed in the charge. 7 :But the final crisis approached. My artillery cattle, wearied by the length of the march, could not bring up the guns to my assistance; and the Ist Madras Fusiliers, 64th, 84th, and 78th detachments, formed in line, were exposed to a heavy fire from the 24 pounders on the road. I was resolved this state of things should not last ; so calling upon my men, who were lying down in line, to leap on their feet, I directed another steady advance. It was irresistible. , The enemy sent round shot into our ranks until we were within three hundred yards, anal then poured in grape with such precision as I have seldom witnessed. But the 64th, led by Major Stirling and my aide-de-caimp, who had placed hims di in their front, w ere not to be denied. Their rear showed the ground strewed with wounded ; but on they steadily and silently came; then with a cheer charged, and captured the, unwieldy trophy of their valour. The enemy lost all heart, and after a hurried fire of musketry gave way in total rout. Four of my guns came up, and completed their discomfiture by a heavy can nonade; and as it grew dark, the roofless barracks of our artillery were dimly descried in advance, and it was evident that Cawnpore was once more in our possession. There is a further despatch of General Havelock, specifying the advantages he gained up to July 29. It will, however, be more interesting to give the following official account of the blowing up of the magaz'ne at Delhi, by Lieut. Willoughby; as written by Lieut. G. Forrest, of the Ordnance Corns:— The Snbadar of the guard on duty at the magazine In formed Lieutenant Willoughby and me, thy►t the King of Delhi had sent down word to the mutineers that he would without delay send scaling ladders from the palace for the purpose of scaling the walls, and which shortly after arrived. On the ladders being placed against the wall, the whole of our Native Establishment deserted us by climbing up the sloped sheds on the-inside of the magazine, and descending the ladders on the outside, qfpter which the enemy appeared in great number on the i? of the walls, and on whom we kept up an incessant fire of grape, every round of•which told well, as long as a single round remained. Previous to the natives deserting us, they hid the priming pouches, and one man in particular, Kur reembuksh, a durwam, appeared to keep up al constant communication with the enemy on the outside, and keep them informed of our situation. Lieut. Willoughby was so annoyed at this man's conduct, that he gave me an order to shoot him should he again approach the gate. Lieutenant. Raynor, with the other Europeans, did everything that possibly could ba done for the defence of the magazine ; and where all hive behaved so bravely, it is almost impossible for me to point out any particular individual. However, lam in duty bound to bring to the notice of government the gallantry of Conductors Buckley and Smilly on this occasion. The former, assisted only by . myself, loaded and fired in rapid succession the several guns above detailed, firing at least four rounds from each gun, and with the same steadinesss as if standing on parade, although the enemy were some hundreds in number, an•l kept ua a continual tire of runsketry on us between 40 or 50 yards. After thing the last round, Conductor Buckley received a musket ball in his arm, above the elbow, which has since been extracted here. I, at the same time, was struck iu the left arm by two musket balls, which disabled me for the time. It was at this critical moment that l,ieut.Wil. loughby g tve the order for firing the magazine, which was at once responded to by Conductor Scully firing the several trains. Indeed, from the very dironanncement. he evinced his gallantry by volunteering his services for blowing up the magazine, and remained true to his trust to the last moment. As soon as the explosion toak place, such as escaped from beneath the ruins, and none escaped unhurt, refreatedthrough the sally port on the river face. Lieut. Willoughby and I succeeded in reaching the Cashmere Gate. What became of the other parties it is impossible for me to say. All we find. in these official despatches about the. unfortunate repulse and great loss of life at Arrah, is contained in the following incidental words of a letter of M,lfir Eyre : a nave muen piesgure in reporting tor mne miormation of Maj ral commanding Diaapore division. the elft.3 ..rrival here of the field force under My c3mmatid and the relief of the party defendinur themselves at Arrah with whom I have just °pole I. a sal isfactory c immunica tion, and have received your letter dated the 31st ult., from which I exceedingly regret to learn the severe loss sustained by the detachment co-operating with us on the Dinaporo side, but I venture to affirm, confidently, that no such disaster would have b - een likely to occur, had that detachment advanticd less precipitately, so as to have given full time for my force to approach direct from the opposite side, for the rebels would then have been hemmed in between the two opposing forces, and ;must have been utterly routed. • An alteration in the ritu•lof the RUSSi3-t mass is about to take place as regards the prayers fir the Imperial 14 mily, Hl.herto, in, ionic of these prayers, which are several tunes repeated during the sewice, the offieiltin g priest mewl ins the name of every member of the family, which tes - ciderah'y prolongs the a rvice.

THE EL %NE Teri n r ire Cune.—A correep indent, under . .date of Havaunah, 23rd Sep ember, says :—'‘Tha topic of conversation in all circles of society just now is the slave trade, and the probable results of the open violation of treaty stipulations with the English Government. Last Monday we received information by the telegraph that a large American ship, loaded with Africans, had been car. • Lured by a Spin eh cruiser near the port of Cardenas. As it is well known that a large number of expeditions have been fitted out for the coast, the news did not cause the slightest surprise —the more so, as the trade has been .wicked et by the Captain-General and his imme diate officers. It seems that the American ba-que had got ashore in endeavouring to navigate through tee Ker, and was accidentally discovered by the Spanieh rat. schooner. A large part of the caego had b- en landed befOre her capture.

Indeed, se well prepared was everything, that nothing was known of the matter until af.er 7 o'clock the next minting.

The whole th'ng is shameful from beginning to en I, and demonstrates completely that the Go ernment is rotten ; and as a Captain- General would not suffer himself to be cempromised for trifles, it ie only natural to suppose that he, or the civil Governor, has been handsomely recompensed for allowing the landing to take pl ice at the mouth of the harlayar, and under the nose of Her British Majesty's C nteal-General A sailor belougieg to the schooner has been arrested, in whose peeket was found a draft on a csrtein Senor Maros, of Eig`a, who was arrested, but reheated, after giving security for his appearance at Ceurt when called upon.

Mr. Aspinell, of Liverpool, attended the inquest on Motif of the captain and owners of the sioo', an I :Mr. Postlethweite on: behalf of the owners of the Queen. John Irvine, the capta'n of the sloop, deposed thaelbey left Liverpool about eight pan., on Saturd y, the 26te ult., and that 'at the time there were on board a crew o: three men and the deceased, who was t e mate's wife. They score run down by the steam-r Queen. The coliisio occurred in consequence of no lock out bring kept on board the steemer.
