His depredations are said to have been very /Itensive, and the evidence of his guilt conclusive. 6?Ile report of the Committee to whom was in -"ted the investigation of the causes which led to the appalling disaster that betel the steam-ship cen tral America, has been published. The report th ee 's a flood of light on this melancholy affair, and lutes clearly and succinctly what, in the opinion of the toswillnittee, caused this sad disaster. Negligence—unac letliltable negligence—and want of proper organization of i g e e crew, t oge th er w ith the independen c e of the sev e ral P a rtments of each other, and lack of a proper head over ~, it., *were at the bottom of a calamity which resulted in the °BB of the steamer .nd the sacrifice of so many lives. Ther e appears to have been no material defect in the vessel „: Machinery —the leakage twine; ascribed to other causes . 4310 dock pumps were rot in working order, and those tknected with the donkey engine were in a questionable Veld itio n We have l a t er news from California, Central America, Sa ndwich Islands, &c., &t. A card had been published in th e San Francisco papers stating that travel would be „ `23lllDed on the Nicaragua route, and that upon the arriva l of the mail of the 20th of October the sailing day would be announced. The failure of Messrs. Sather and Ch urch sho w an indebtedness of nearly half a million, and bad created much excitement. According to a statement Pltt forth by the firm their ass3ts are equivalent to the a mount of indebtedness. The difficulty with Palmer, & Co. had bean sEttled, they surrendering property t klued at 250,000 dollars to the state. The news from the Plains relative to the late massacres is very important, a k 'l'd strongly implicates the M)rmons. Brigham Young h ad declared th e i n d e penden c e of Utah, and stated that ineeforth U ta h o w e d no allegiance or obedience to any l o aWs but those of their own enactment. A project was Ca foot in California to create a new Territory out of the t r eat basin between the Goose Creek mountains on the east the Sierra Ncvada on the west, and between the O regon sad Utah line on the north, and the Colorado river 01 1 the south. The advices from Central America are important, under t he present circumstance?.

Ills proclamation announces the determination to maintain the right of the to the territory claimed by and now in possession ° I Costa Rica. Col.

A report to the effect that the Russit:n Government had ordered Americans to quit fishing in thd sassian waters, was not credited. The news from Japan is very interesting, Several American whalers had touched at Hakodadi, and the masters were well pleased with the port and their recep tion. Tae governor had had a sailing vessel built after an American model, and had contracted for a steamer. No preference in trade was shown to the Dutch or Chinese, but there was a large native trade with Hong Kong. The sale of ardent spirits on shore to sailors was forbidden by law. LATEST BY TELEGRAPH via HALIFAX. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1. Our cotton market has been stiffer to-day, but with out any quotable change in prices. The sales were 8,500 bales; receipts to-day, 4,300 bales; stock, 208,000 bales. The receipts at this port up to the present time, as com pared with those of last year, fall short 153,500 bales; and at all the Southern ports the deficiency is 324,000 bales. Freights to Liverpool are id, and to Havre le. Sterling Exchange, 103 to 1041. Sugar steady. Flour dull, at 5 dols. Mess pork, 19 dole; market bare. Lard, in barrels 12,0, Yellow corn, 60c to 65c. HALIFAX, N.S., DEC. 3, 10, P.M. Tho 11)yal Mail steamer America arrived here yesterday morning, the 2nd instant. We have received no telegraphic dispatches from the United States since noon to-day, in consequence of a derangement of the wires ; the Niagara must, therefore, sail without our usual late report of the New York markets. Commercial affairs in this city are in a most unsatisfactory state. Three failures have taken place dulkg the past week, and more are expected to follow. lir COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, December 1. MONETARY.—The large shipment of specie anticipated for the current week, and the unsettled cendition of bank-, icg affairs on both sides of the Atlan'ic, serve to kee? our own market unsteady. The rates for foreign exchange, in view of the obvious demand in England and France for specie in ligaidation of balances, are becoming more firm. The Banks show a slight curtailment of loans compared with the previous week's report ; and the current rates for business paper are yet exhorbitant. Capital is for the moment abundant, where the basis for loans is ample ; but money lenders are more inclined to loan upon stocks with a liberal margin, than upon business paper. The ordinary margin for Bankers' B lls on Ragland rarely varies per cent. between the extremes, but of late there is a difference of fully 2 per cent. ; wbLe some parties are inclined to draw at 74-, others decline at anything under 91, which is the specie par.—Courier and Enquirer. Our last advices were of the 24th iaet. Those of to-day embrace, only four business days, a holiday having inter vened. There is no striking change in the general condition of affairs. The news or the Liverpool steamer of the 14th inst., telegraphed from Newfoundland the 25th inst., has lessened the uneasiness which the previous mail had left us. The suspension of the act of the charter of the Bank of England, which removes the prohibition from issuing bank notes beyond a certain limit, and the immediate relief it produced, in turning aside an impending panic, have been received with great satisfaction in this city, nevertheless the next advices are awaited with impatience. In the beginning of the week there was a recovery at the Stock Exchange, from the downward current at the close of our last advices, favoured by the announcement of large specie payments, but this upward movement was not sustained, and for the last two days the market has been weak, particularly in speculative securities. Investment securities continue s'eady. State Stocks have been rather active. Money without claange—easy for loans en call. Discounts out of bank remain very limited. Confidence in business paper recovering but slowly. The rates are for current paper from 12 to 24 per cent., according to class and length. Exchanges on Europe wcr, dull fur the steamer. First-class bills on Leaden, 100 to 1091; very good ones, 108 to 1081 ; Paris, 5 20 to .5 23. DE COPPET & COTTON. There is nothing of moment doing in the market, the supply is small, holders are not pressing, the daily sales are limited to a few hundred bales for expert and some trifling sales made for domestic consumption. There is little disposition to ship to foreign markets. Yesterday there was rather more disposition to buy, but only in limited parcels; the silts amounted to about 600 hales. The sales since 24 h November are estimated at 2,000 bales. The quotations annexed are given as near as possible to the present value, though it might be equally difficult to buy or sell in quantity on the basis. The export for the week has been—to Bremen, 339; Liverpool, 3,037 bales. Total 3,376 bales. _ _ COTTON IN TRANSITu.—There is a larger supply offering, but few buyers are willing to operate until advised of a more settltd state of trade in England. Southern markei hare been less influenced by the unfavourable financial and commercial accounts from Eng land than was expected. When the advices par Atlantic reeched New O:leaus, a decline of ic to ic per lb was at once submi,ted to ; the day following, the news as brought by the Vanderbilt was received, when a large business was done, and prices immediately recovered, and closed at the old figures of 11c to 12c. The other markets were similarly depressed by the Atlantic's advicos, and all recovered after receipt of those per the Vanderbilt. The buying during the past week in the South has been for England, but with a larger proportion fir France and the Continent. _ NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 27th: Receipts for the week, 64,000 bales; same week last year, 51,000. Decrease in receipts at this port compared with last year, 160,000, and at ail the southern ports, 328,000. Sales to-day, 1,500, and for the week, 43,000. Middling, llto to 12a per lb.

Nay. 30 : There has been a decline of lc per lb since Saturday. SAVANNAH, Nov. 30th Market heavy. Middling, to 1113 per lb. Cita': The frost alluded to in my last circular, appears to have been generally killing all over the cotton region. The further growth of the plant being stopped we shall very soon be in possessi of information front the variocs points, upoa which to form an estimate of the crop. The estimates in the SJuth range from 3,000,000 as a minimum to 3,250,000 as a maximum. RECEIPTS are increasing, and are now on a liberal scale. Next week they will be still larger, as we learn at New Orleans 64,000 bales and at Mobile 18,000 were received in the week ending last Friday. F_xcon - rs are larger this week-40,000 bales to Great Britain, 18,000 to Fra , :ce. The large quantity exported to England daring the last eight weeks is a matter of surprise, when the deranged state of exchanges and monetary affairs are remembered. The export will continue on a liberal scale for some time, as the buying in the South has bean free for the last three or four weeks, the bulk of which has not been cleared. The following is a statement of the movement in cotton since the Ist September as compared with the previous four years : last quetatioim 1 7 .1',° temperature having, however, again become mild, our markl.: t was dull on the latter d a te, and yesterday, owing to the very unfavourable news received per telegraph from the Fulton the 18th ult., sales were with difficulty effected at a decline of 260 from the highest point of last week.

Common Rosin continues to be rather quiet at 1 dol 30t. to 1 dol 35c. In crude Turpentine and Fine Rosin there is nothing doing. PROVISIONS : There is scarcely anything doing in any description of provisions; dealers are purchasing but in small lots, as required for the retail trade, while shippers are out of the market. Pork has a decided tendency to decline, and Mess Pork can be bought to-day at 18 dole for new nninspected. and 18 dole 50c for old inspected.

INDIAN MUTINIES. ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND MAIL. By the arrival of the Overland MO, we have received our papers and correspondence from India, bearing dates as under :—Bombay, November 17 ; Calcutta, November 9. _ The following general summary of news will be road with in t arwat • ___. I they suddenly came up with a body of the mutineers of the 82ad Native Infantry. These were mounted on elephants, and were accompanied by seventy-five native troopers. The eommander-in•chief, as soon as he observed the enemy, retreated, till he found refuge in a bullock train some teu miles in the rear. The troopers continued for a while to hover round, and the marvel was that this piece of unparalleled rashness should not have terminated fatally. Having arrived at Cawnpore on the 3rd, Sir Colin Campbell remained there till the 9th, when he started for Alumbsgh, where Grant's column wae- under stood to be awaiting his arrival. The cause of the delay it is not explained. but betwixt the 3rd and 9th November nothing decisive could have occurred or we should have heard of it by telegraph from Madras, the channel through which our latest tidings commonly reach us, being con veyed thither by steamer from Calcutta. On the after. noon of the Ist inst. a sharp action occurred near the village of Rudjnai, between the Dinapore mutineers and a detachment of eight hundred men, consisting of part of the Naval Brigade, and a detachment of the 93rd Highlanders, with two 9 pounder guns, under Colonel Powell, of her Majesty's 53rd Foot. Our loss was heavy, Colonel Powell being amongst the slain. The- enemy were prepared for the attack, and the mutineer Sepoys were in uniform. Our success was complete; we captured their two guns and ammunition waggons, and then destroyed their camp. This occurring at the close of a 'forced march the enemy could not be pursued. The detachment of the Naval Brigade, its task thus accomplished, fell• back on Binkee, with a view of returning to Fattehpore, bat the rest of the troops marched into Cawnpore, where they arrived on the 2nd, desperation, that our loss was severe, and that it was not considered prudent to retain so advanced a position. At Futteheerai again, near Agra, the rebels were dislodged by a party from the garrison on the 29th of October. ttost of them fled, but a party seized a building on the heights and died like men with the halter round their necks. Lieut., Glubb and 17 privates were killed. Several other engagements have been reported during the week. The greatest occurred in Juanpore. Colonel Wroughton, who was moving towards the eastern frontier of Oude with 50me . 1,500 Ghoorkas and two gars, was met b y scree 5,000 of the enemy with seven guns. The mutineers deployed with bea ut if u l accuracy , di s played a t last a solid line nearly two miler long. They did not, however, charge, but opened a heavy fire upon the Ghoorkas. The little men—they are nor. abovi five feet— Ickl disapproved the proceeding; and with their usual plu flung themselves forward on enemies th ree t i mes th e i r ow n number. The curved knives made quick' work. Ten minutes after their charge the enemy had disappeared, leaving four guns, and 700' bodi e s on the field. These , Gboorkas are the men for whom Sir Charles Napier kad so strong and, as it has proved, s o well grou n d e d an admira tion. Both they and the Sikhs despise the Sepoys, and close in with them at once, without an attempt at tactics. One thing is quite clear. We can never use Sepoys against native levies again. Theirpresezge haedisappeared for ever, and 'a Sikh, an Arab, an Affghan, or a Ghoorka, will now charge a Sepoy regiment as readily ,as an Englishman would do. They have thrashed them at odds of three to one, while fighting-with our discipline, on our tactics,-and in our uniforms. On the 15th ar 'l6th of Cetober again some cavalry, despatched by Brigadier Showers, attached the remnant of the Anhui- force near Kanoend. The enemy lost 400' men, and were ignominiously • dispersed. mother body was then despatched to Kanom3, which, on the 191 of October, occupied the fortress, seizing 1S guns, military stores, and • five lacs of treasure. The rowineers, wader Koor Singh, the Bengalee who were in possession of Bandee, are also reported to have been cut up by'the zsmindars. Ve himself has der.s.arted, it is said, for Gwalior, where he will probably be hzng by Scindiah as soon as the sale turns• a little in orrrfavonr. His forces are said to have been annihilated, but , that statement rests on native authority, and may or may not.be correct. ..t.2bout Jubbulpore all is said to be in a state of anarchy.. There are two regimerM of Madras C dry there, but the rebels'are in every direction, like flies in summer, and the force cannot leave the st.^.tien. The troops are arriving' fast. The Alma spoke thirty six ships near the mouth of the river,' and we have already had the Sydney? with 320 men of the Raval Artillery; Ulysses and Surrey,. with 652 man of Her Majesty's 88th Regiment; , Australian, with 306 E men of Her Majesty's 42nd Regiment . ; Lady Jocelyn,. with 766 of Her Mijesty's 54th, Rifle liiigade. and Royal Artillery ; Candia, with 692 of Her Majesty's 19:1), 2 4h, and 34- , h.

We understand as soon as the whole force of Marines. arrive operations will commence.. The first detachment arrived on the 28th instant in the steamer Icanerador. An expedition under Commodore Elliott, consisting of the gunboats Plover, Opossum, and St lunch, with some ship's boats, left Tiger Island on the 14th inst After a cruise of several days the} came oulr near-the junction of the great west and north rivers, and arrived at Macao on the 12th ins.. Daring the cruise several Man darin junks and some forts were destroyed, but private property was not interfered with. The people of the town. which were passed willingly insisted in pointing out the Mandarin boats, understanding, apparently, the object of the expedition. I regret to have to report anothe accident on bard ship , arising from. Chinese treachery' The schooner Neva left this on the 17th instant with a valuable cargo of treasure and merchandise bound to Foochow. The following evening some Chinese passengers, assisted by the earpeator of the ships killed the captain and a couple of the seamen who were on deck. The mate escaped up the rigging, where he remained till the Chinese 1.f7 th 4) vetegl, which they did after two or three hoe's, taking with them about 22,000 dollars worth of traasnre. 'When the vessel was taken possession of she was •steered into Mira Bay, close to this, whence she was brought back• by the mate on the 19th instant.

He will than MUM and perhaps enter the residency without the loss of a mau. Lucknow once secured and fortified will become his head quarters, whence inch by inch he may reconquer Oude. If we may judge f,•om previous expe rience, the plan of the rebels will be to fire as long as they can, evacuate the city, and permit the relieving force to enter the residency and close in upon them again. It is generally understood chat Nana Sahib has assumed the command in chief in Code, and some profess to see traces of ability and plan in the more recem movements of the rebels. It is certain, too, that they fight harder than they did. NARROW EITA.PE OF THE COMMANDER-IN- CHIEF, Sir Colin Campbell, who left Calcutta 2S.th Oct., travelled like a courier. Ha had, Ir.:waver, a most narrow escspa en ionic. Ha persisted in travelling with his personal staff, without an escort, and when near Sherghotty came upon the mutinous companies of the ,‘:;2l3d Native Inqintry. They were leisnrely crossing the read, the man sitting o elephants, with parties of horsemen, probably the 21s . Light Cavalry, Holmes's mureerers, to protect each flank_ . The coachman announced their approach, and the Com mandat-in-Chief resisting a wild proposal to show fight, retreated about ten miles, till he came up to a bulioch train filed with Europeans.

The boy proved how he was plundered by the pt.isoner, in the usual way, and that he never ventured before. The prisoner was sent to gaol for one month, wit's hard labour. Vrofunr ASSAITLT.—Henry Roberts, and Lewis Chinn, described as German musicians, were charged with having assaulted' and wounded' Margaret Pines, an unfortunsle girl. The complainantrai head arid face were bandaged up, as if she had been badly handled. About' two - o'clock on Saturday morning the pariies met in Sir Thomas's -buildings, when some words took place between them, and Roberts as she stated, knocked her down with a heavy blow in the face, and then the other' prisoner kicked her. Mr. Gilhanti surgeon, said there was a serious contuse& wound on the- woman's right temple. Roberts sues fined £l, and the other .25, or in default one month alai; three months respectively. A N 01FTGER OF Hait MA-Ttirir, AND A P&L ICE OFFICEIC. —l. respectable looking and gentlemanly dressed young man named , John Griffin, a Custom-house onker, living at 101, , Hill -street, was charged with having assaalted polies officer 613. Mr. Bluck defended. The constable said after °I le o'deck on Sunday morning, he heard whistling in Park-place, and thinking at first it was - a police-officer he went for ward,. when he again heard it, and then knew it was not ,one of his comrades. Cti going up to the place, he saw the prisoner, who told him , he had been insulted by some persons' and wanted protection. The witness asked whet e the persons were ? as .he could not see - any one about 'the place. The prisoner then got into a passion, •- when the .witness-asked if he knew the parties? and he replied he d id ; witness then told him -to summon them, as he really dill not see any one about the place except the prisoner bin self. The prisoner then became very disorderly, tattled hinrbad names, caught hold of him and struck him, a t the Fame time saying, " I aryl an . otHeer belonging to 1 er Nisjenty, and you are only one belonging to the Corpora tion ;" and then by way of showing the difference betw,een an officer of Queen 'victoria, and one of the Corporat ion of Liverpool, he thumped and kicked him. Mr. Muck : cross examined the officer,. but the facts were not altered, and part of the original story was cor roborated by ano they constable who came up. The prisoner was fined £I and costs, which he paid. _ _ THE FORCE 01 ' TziurrATtox.—Elizabeth Edwards, a tall good looking girl, 23 , years of age, was brought up by officer 558, cam tged under the following circumstances: The officer said on. Saturday evening he was called into the house of Mr. A tidrew Boyd, 21, Nil , -strest, by a boy naaaed Peter Murd 3ck, grandson of Mr. Boyd, and on entering he saw the prisoner lying drunk is the parlour. He sEarched the pl ace and found that the drawers had been forced open b, v a screw driver, which was on the floor. Tile keys w ere then taken out and the cellar ntered. He got the ale tap also running, and :'otzni two bottles of port wine in the parlour, and two more outside the cellar, and one bi nth abet half full.. The family were from home, and the house was left in charge of the prisoner. Tne boy, who was in her charge (a fine intelli gent lad of twelve yes us-old) said he was playing outside she door, and when he wanted to go in, he knocked, and the door was opened by an, t.ld woman, who said 3he;was the prisoners aunt. H a went in and saw the prisoner lying drunk in the .parlt ur, and' then lie welt and called the police. He corr.( boa ated the evidence of the officer. The prisoner admitted hai ing broken into the cellar, being tempted to do so in the at .sence (is she alleged) of food. . She was in the house about a month, and had lived at Mt. Tower's, Angel Hot:1, Dab ~ street. for two years previously. She was remanded until NE r. 80y,..'s return. AUDACIOU.S OPEN DAY RollBlCRY.—Michael Furlong and George Buckston, two corn porters, were ehargedwitla having c numitted the following atsducious robbiry. Oa Saturday, between two arid three o'clock, the prisoners were found lowering Indian. corn from the warehouse of Thomas J. Hutton, in RegeTt-street. The corn belongs to Messrs. Segar and Tunnietiffe, and 27stscks were lowered into a cart, one was in the slingT, and two more at ' the door ready for lowering. Mr. Sharp, warehouse man to Mr. Hutton, was p,ssing at the -time, and observed the prisoners lowering the corn. Re cmoinunicated the fact to the under warehouse min (Patrick cualiffe) of Messrs. Segar, who, knowing there was no order for the de livery of any corn, went to the place and-found the prisoners lowering the corn, and then they were given into custody. Ounte skeleton keys were found on the stairs, and,- nod otabt, with these the warehouse door was cpened. Mr. Lipton the head warehouse man of Messrs. Sugar, said there wars 841 sacks (in bulk) of the'corn put into the room, and no• order for the removal of any of it was since made. The under warehouse man had the keys--at the time the store was entered. William Ducker, a captor, and his- son,, proved that they were employed by the prisdner Buckatoss to cart the corn from the warehouse. to the Lonel:ina• sand North Western Railway. Several witnecces were examined, and proved the above facts, and Mr.- Ci-ough said, as. the corn in the warehouse was in bulk it would require time to have it weighed, in order to prove the deficiency taken in the sacks, which was worth over sap, end he would ask for a remand. Mr. Bluck was for Furlong, and Mr. Campbell for the other prisoner, and cross-examined all the witnesses with the view of sbwin,..,t , that the- prisoners! had been employed by another person who was described as a well-dressed man in black, who came to 'Change on Saturday and engaged them to remove the corn ; but the witnesses said they did not see suet, a man absat the place at all. Mr. Mluck and Mr. Campbell said it would be for the interest of their clients to havo.them remanded, as they were instructed to s;ty, that they would be Lbto•to, make out the party who engaged them.

COUMISSLPNER : PERRY. Re JAHN CADMAN.—This bankrupt, formerly a briA maker at Upholland and Billinge, in this county, came up a g ain to-day, cn his adjourned list examination. :fir. Rymer appeared on behalf of a creditor, and objected to the bankrupt passing his examination until ho had handed over to his assignees certain household furniture and other property, in the possession of his mother, which belonged to has estate. Mr. Darlington, on be of the assignees, agreed with Mr. Rymer, and applied to his Honour that the examination shor..ild be adjourned. His Honour stated that from the statement of the official assignee, there were explanations requited from the bankrupt, with reference to wages and other matters, there must, therefore, be an adjournment for sufficient time to enable the bankrupt to furnir.h the necessary information. The trade assignee applied to his Honour that he should be protected from annoyance on the part of the bankrupt, who had used abusive language and threatened to throw him into a coal pit His Honour said the question before him was, the time to which this sitting should be adjourned, if a fort night would be sufficient, he would fix the 28th December. The adjournment to that day was agreed to. Mr. Dar lington applied for a warrant against a debtor to this estate, who had not appeared to a summons from this Court, which was returnable to-day. His Honour stated that upon an affilavit of the due service of the summons being produced, he would at once grant a warraut f9r tin debtor to be brought up, . .. LIICKNO W. From Luclenow—the paint on which all our interest centres—we have scarcely had a line of intelligence since• the 26th of September, when the residency was relieved. We peirposely avoid giving more of the names of those raid to have fallen, having already been the means, there is reason to believe, of mentioning some as slain who are still supposed to survive. Oude, the stronghold of disaffection, has been since August the rallying point of the rebels, and there are now said to be not fewer than- fifty thoresand in arms in and around Lucknow. The number may be exagge rated, but that it is very large may be inferred from the fact that though Alumbagh is only three miles. from Luck now, and has for the most part been in easy communica tion with Cawnpore, not a line has reached them from Outram or Havelock, or those under them, for more than a month. It must be remembered that when the force started from Cawnpore on the 20th. September the occupants of the Residency were in such peril that a delay of 24 hours woul i have been fatal to them. Their relief was understood to have been all that was contem plated, when, returning with them to Cawnpore, Havelock would have awaited for the reinforcements—commencing active operations, in which we trust he is engaged, about the present time. Alumbagh, the country residence of former royalty, if left unoccupied by us, would have been maintained by the enemy, as the means of cutting off our communication with the base of operation ; and as the sick and wounded and the baggage would hove formed a• rather serious encumbra:ce in the desperate conflict which, a was expected, ensued, they were left behind, the officers not carrying with them so much as a change of clothing On the 25th, and snore especially on the 26th of September, the fighting seems to have been most severe, nearly a fourth of our force having been disabled Some time- after this, the date is uncertain, and after nearly a third of the town had become ours, the troops under Outram and Havelock seem to have be come separated. It now turnediout,that with a body E ()large, so helpless, and so exhausted as the occupants of the Residency is, and a force so reduced, it would 1e.3 vain to attempt to retire fcom Lucknow. There appears to hlve been very severe fighting, with a heavy list of casualties Oa the 18th October, a tremendous explosion was heard at Alumbagh supposed to have been occasioned by the blowing up of the principal magazine of the enemy. Pro visions now began to fail, and an attempt is supposed to have been contemplated to return to Alumb?.gh. Oa the 19 tb, severe fighting is said to have occurred in the streets in an endeavour to re-unite the divided troops, or probably to secure some position of the enemy's occasioning spec al annoyance—for our information is little better than the echo of a rumour. Maui Singh, she great Oude lane holder, who promised to join us with 15,000 men, is said to have become incensed ag tinst us about the time of Outram's arrival, by a malicious falsehood intimating that his Zenana had been violated. On discovering that he had been made the victim of a deception, he is said to have expressed his . regret f r ethat he had done, and to have proposed to t, in us ; bu , , these things are to be received as rumours only, still wanting confirmation. It was understood the garrison expected to be able to hold out till the 10th of November. At this date they would he relieved, and able to resume the offensive at least 7,000 strong.

The Eng!ishr an skys:—" A private letter. from Delhi states that a cr, , re of rupees has been demanded of the inhabitatts as a ransom of the city, and that they have already offered 80 lakhs." One of the sons of the King of Delhi has, we regret to learn, escaped. He was under civil charge. The matter. it is sa'd, has been husked up. A commission is engaged in investigating the charges against the King. The troops at Delhi have become rather unruly, and having made what we considered a rather too free use of the bayonets, are now armed with stout sticks. A correspondent writes :—" Delhi is nearly in ruins from the effect of the heavy artillery fire. The church is riddled with shot holes, and the college and magazine as well. The ground outside the city bears unmiatakeab'e marks o the conflict. Hindoo Rao's house is a shell, as well as many of the houses in Subzee - Mande° and Kishen Gunge. The boughs of the trees are loped off, and many of them are wholly felled by round shot, and the ground, from the glacis to the ridge, is strewn with shot. grape, and pieces of shell ; large quantities of treastve are being daily dug from the walls of houses and tykhanahs. It is expected the amount of prize money will be very large, Tho Jhujjur Nawab came in two days ago to stand his trial. The city is deserted by the inhabitants, and at night is silent as a grave-yard.

They were soon caught, and will probably be severely punished. Their object was to loot, no doubt. They say there are many Sepoys still hidden in the city, if so, they should at once be shot. When one hears the sickening details of the almost incredible cruelt'es practised by those miscreants on the English ladies, women, and children, mercy to the wretches aprears and is a sin. Such an example should be made of them as would be handed down to succeeding generations with horror. In Delhi, nothing has been done in the way of retribution. The besiegers lost more than the besieged.— Lahore Chronicle. THE CALCUTTA MAIL.

(From the Bombay Times, Nov. 17 ) Brigadier Grant's column, about 3,500 strong, reached Cawnpore on the 20th, and being reinforced to 5,000, crossed the 'Ganges, with a large convoy of supplies for Lucknow, on the 30th. They reached Alumbagh, without obstruction, •on the 3:d, but there wai'ed till the Commander-in Chief should join them Sir Colin Campbell left Calcutta on the 27th of October, and having narrowly escaped being made captive on the way, arrived at Cawnpore on the 3rd November, and remained there till the oth, awaiting, it is presumed, for further reinforce• ments, which must probably have accompanied him, to the extent of from two to three thousand, bringing up' the force at Alambegh, when he joins, to close on 10,000 men. Lucknow is said to be surrounded 1 v about 50,000 insurgents, against whom Outram and Havelock gallantly, but with difficulty, hell their own with less than 2,000 men. For the past six weeks, they have been isolated, and scarcely a line has within that space been received from them. Heavy fighting, with g - eat slaughter, is believed to have occurred. Colonel Powell, while advancing with a party of 800 men, was obstructed on the let by the Dinapore mutineers, betwixt Futtehpore and Cawnpore, when an action ensued, in which we were triumphant, but with severe loss, Colonel Powell being amongst the killed. Nynee Tal, for a time infested by the enemy, has been relieved.

Brigadier Stuart, who left Dhar on the Bth, is now rapidly advancing to the northwarei, and will by this time, we have no doubt, have given a good account of as many of the mutineers as can be overtaken. Great masses of troops continue pouring in from all direc tions, and the country is everywhere returning to a state of tranquillity. The Governor-General, and Governor's of Bombay and Madras, are at the respective seats of their administration. The Commander in Chief of India has by this time reached Lucknow. Sir Patrick Grant is at Madras, and Sir Henry Somerset at Poona. The cold weather has now fairly set in.

About half-p.a3t one o'ciczk vestozda . : - , Johanna Rocen burg, known as "Madame Annie,"' WAS brought no for sentence before his Worship the Reaorder, in the Borough Sessions Court. The prisoner, ?awe - placed in tho dock, was weeping bitterly. The Recorder said : Johanna. Rasenburg, in :his case there has been no trial, but you have pleaded guilty, so that theefacts have been brought before me by the state ments of counsel and by affidavit, and I may say in the outset, that many things have b*ou mentioned to me which lam not at liberty to take into consideration. lam not at liberty, for oae reason, because Sou havo not had art opportunity of answering the-m, and because you have not boon put upon trial for these offences. I say, therefore, I am not at liberty to consider those things in the sentence lam about to pronounce. What you leave confessed is„ that you have been guilty of keeping a disorderly house. Now, it appears that you, not being an Englishwoman but. a foreigner, have, for five or six years, or more, resided in this town, and kept a brothel. It appears that the inmates of that house for the most part were girls--young girls, Erglish and forote—and, under your au)pica.s, under your eyes, and in your house, many immoralities have been, practised, and much harm, no doubt, has been done. If, as it is alleged, young girls have boon induced by you. to enter into a course of life attendoel by misery, and ending in destruction, you hive, _indeed, much to answer for. Thee must be a heavy burden won your conscience, if you rightly consider the thing. A just sense of such conduct ought to fill you with apprehension more serious than can attend the sentence of any earthly judge. Rowover, I do not really know how these things are ; and I can only—especially con s id. r ieg , that you have surren dered yourself, :Ten your plea , t o j ustice —deal with what is certain against you. Considering how long you carried' on that brothel in this town, and how much mischief must have been done, the sentence now of the Court is, that you be imprisoned, and kept to hard labour, for four calendar montlo and, in addition, to pay to the Queen a fine of X 25, andto be farther imprisoned until that fine is paid. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. The Recorder said : One thing I would add, that I hope the landlord of the house, Mr. John Shallcross, whoever he may be, will be more careful regarding the next tenant he. gets into it. The court was considerably crew* while the segt,g4 Wilt; being delivered.
