Most of the officers have escaped, it is believed, to the hill station of Nynee Tal or elsewhere ; but the Briga dier Sibbald is said to have fallen, and many civilians are missing. Cawnpore, we believe, has been saved by the arrival of the 84th and of the 64th, the latter from Bom bay. But the 12'h Native Infantry has mutinied in Bun dlecund, and at Allahabad, the 6th Native Infantry, which had been loud in its protestations of loyalty, and of its desire to be led against Delhi, rose and murdered Captain Bird, the Adjutant, and all the Europeans they could lay hands upon. The rest took refuge -in the fort, where they are still in sefetv, the mutineers having marched for Delhi. At Benares the 37th Native Infantry mutinied on an attempt being made to disarm them. Joined by the 13th Irregular Cavalry and the Sikh Regiment of Loodhiana, they killed Capt. Guise, of the cavalry,and attacked the guns of the European company of artillery, but were repulsed by a eischaige of grape. and by the resolute attitude of a hendful dale Queen's 13. h, and of the Madras Fasileers. At Azingur the 19th mutinied, tte.l shot their adjutant, Lieutenant Hutchinson. At Ghazeepore the 65th has been disarmed. At daunpere the detachment of the Loodhiana Regiment follewed the examplo of the head quarters at Benares ' killed Mr. Cappage, the civilian, and badly wounded Lieutenant Mara, their commanding officer. All this in the Benares district. The test of the Dinapore division has been oilier, with the exception of one deplorable occurrence at Rohuee. Major Macdonald, Sir Norman Leslie, and Dr. Grant, three offieera of the sth Irregular Cavalry, were attacked one evening when sitting in the verandah of the Major's house. Sir Norman was killed on the spot, and the other two severely wounded. The assassins, at first supposed to be disbanded Sepoys, belonged, it now appears, to their own regiment, and neva been given up for execution by their comrades. The Barrackpore or Presidency division, as you will hear more fully from Calcutta, was so much agitated as to render it advisabl 3 to disarm all the troops at head quarters, consisting of the 2nd, the remaining three com panies of the 31:.b, the 43rd, anti—the loyal 70th, which the authorities, with the treachery of the 6th before their eyes, probably thought " dokh protest too much." Our 78th Highlendere, so lately facing Persian guns at Xhooshab, an the companies of the 37th brought up from Ceylon, superintended the proceedings. At Calcutta the native militia was disarmed and volunteer corps raised. The King of Oude was arrested, and his alleged complicity with the rebels may, if proved, somewhat affect the case which is being pressed at home by the august lady in the New-road. Turning back to the north west we pause for an instant in 011ie to sae the gallant and able Sir Henry Lawrence grimly busy in hanging the mutineers at Luella ow, with loaded field p.eces and lighted port fires on either side the scaffold, and to hope that there is no truth in the report that he has been forced to abindon the capital, and fall back upon Cawnpore. Pass rapidly through the Doab, nothing new h as h a pp ene d to d eta i n us , thouffh it will tfie w "- c kia croseirg the Sutlej we find, as I have already intimated, Jullundar deserted by its native forces, the 6th Light Cavalry and the 36th and 61st Native Infantry ; and Ph Ilour vacated by the 3rd. Throughout the Punjaub the flying column, of which the nucleus and main strength are the 52nd Light Infantry, has been doing its work well. No further out breaks have taken place. Many mutineers have been hanged or blown from guns at Peshawar, Farozepore, Lahore, and Mootan. Near the first of these stations the 64th Native Infantry have been disarmed ; at the last, the 621 d, 69th, and a native troop of Horse Artillery. Of the march of the Bombay Fasileers I shall speak presently. It remains to consider the position of the great tract of Central India to the southwarl and westward of Delhi, with its numerous independent chide. Approaching this district from the north, I have fist to note that the contingent of the Jheend Rajah has been doing true and loyal service under the walls of Delhi. In his neighbourhood are the British stations of Hansi and Hisser. Here the Hurrianah Light Infantry battalion has mutinied, killing, it is feared, Lieutenant Berwell, and other Europeans. The levies of the Rajah of Bhurtpore, to whom was committed the charge of keeping open tho road between Delhi and Agra, proved faithless, and their officers, Captains Nixon and Minims, of the Bombay army, scarcely regained Bhurtpore with their lives. The liltvar Horse are, it is feared, equally false. The Kotali contingent, was, at the latest dates, still loyal, posted between Agra and Mutera, with two guns. Of the United Malwa Contingent the cavalry regiment has gone. Despatched, the head quarters of it, from Mehidpore, to follow up and attack the Neemuch mutineers, itself mutinied, slew its officers—Brodie and Hunt—and, return ing to c trap, endeavoured, but in vain, to induce the infan try and artillery to fellow their example. The other wing stationed at Indore abandoned their quarters, but without committing any acts of violence. Ajmere is safe, garri soned partly by the flying Bombay column from Deese, partly by the Mhairwarra battalions. Tee deserted station of Nasseerabad has been re-occupied by the Bombay Lancers. But what is Scindia doing ? This is a question of grave moment. and one not readily to be answered at present. We knew that the 7 h Infantry Regiment of his contingent mutinied at Neemuch. We know that the telegraph wire has been cut near Sepree, and all regular communication with Agra, beyond Indore, interrupted; and we have reason to beliere that both at Sepree and Anger the regiment of the contingent hive risen Indeed, I know that fears are en tertained in the best informed , quarters that the whole of the contingent ( which consists of four companies of artillery, two regiments of cavalry, and seven of infantry) have turned against us, with the exception of three com panies wh!ch garrison the isolated fort of Asseeghur in this presidency. Then, what wilt Sc:ndie do? Will he be allured into beieving that our power is on the wane, and into declaring against ne, or wilt he, at the head of such troops as may remain feithfnl, resist the strong temptation, and oppose disloyalty even to the deelh. Like his fathers before him, he is a sturdy little Mahretta; he is young and active, riling his 50 or 69 miles a day when necessary ; and energetic too, as he showed on one occasion, when his then newly raised artillery hesitated to fire upon a body of the old levies who had refuse .l to disband. Sciudia jumped off his horse, seized a lighted portfire fro m the hand of a gunner, and himself discharged the first gun. Such a man, with the command, moreover, of considerable treasures, his the stuff in him to work us much good or ill. Indore, the seat of his rival Holkir, is perfectly tranquil, and is likely to remain so. The British station of Mbow, in its immed• fate neighbourhood, is garrisoned in part by the head quarter wing of the Ist Bengal Cavalry, of which the other wing mutinied at Neemuch. It ia, however, safe at present, and the approach of the Bombay column from Poonah will probably keep it so. With this sketch—hasty indeed, but, I think, tolerably complete, and I hope, with the aid of a map, intelligible-1 quit the Bengal Presidency and turn to those ofMadras and Bombay. The chief, perhaps the only danger to be anticipated by the government of Fort S. George is a rising in the NizSM'S country. One regiment of that sovereign's contingent, as we shall presently see, has shown itself disaffected, and been punished am ordingly, but one only; and the Nizem himself is, in all probability, too much overawed by the powerful force cantoned at Secunderabad, close to his capital, to entertain a thought of revolt. At Ranaptee, in Nagpore, a regiment of the newly-raised con tingent showed unpleasant sym?toms, bat the regular Madras troops are there in force, and are thoroughly to be depended upon. Indeed, the want of sympathy between the Bengal and the Madras armies amounts to positive hatred. I read the other day in an English paper of eminence that the division of the whole force in India into three distinct armies is " a dewy anomaly." That may be so ; bat the clumsy anomaly had the streimous support of no less able a man than Sir Thom is Munro, and I much question whether it has not in this emergency saved India. 'She separate army of Madras remains perfectly stanch, so does the separate array of Bombay. The latter, indehi, learn its position in regard to the disturbed provinces, is able to give something more than a mere pru,ive display of loyalty. No - only have Lord laphinstone and his councillors had the prudent temerity to despatch to Caleatia two of the four English regiments of the Bombay establishment, but on three several points in Central India and the Purjsb Bombay columns, each comprising a porti on o f nat i ve troops, have marched, and with the best ()Met The Ist Tusileere and the Ist Laelech battalion have proceeded up the Indus from Kerrachee to Mooltnn, portions of the Queen's sherd and the 12th Native Infantry, with three Horse Artillery guns, have reached Ajmer() from Deese, and GeneralWoodhurnhs column from Poonah is advancing upon Mhow. The prioress of this latter corps up to this time may be traced in some detail Malligaum, on the great high road frbm Bombay to adore, was the rendez vous for the troops of this column. There is stationed the 19th Native Infantry, and thither proceeded the 3rd Cavalry of the Hyderabad Contingent from Arungabid by a bad cross-road of 100 miles, which, however, they got over in a couple of days. So far all was well, aid General Woodburn, with his dragoons, 25th Native Infantry and Artillery, had reached Ahmednugger from Poonah on their way across the country to Malli gentle, when he heard that, the Ist Cavalry of the Hyderabad Con tingent, which had eucceeded the 3rd at Arungabad, was in a sta'e of mutiny. So instead of turning off to Matti gum, he took his troops straight on to Arungabad, attacked the mutinous part of the regiment, some 150 in number, diepersed them, and captured about 60. The ring leader, a noted native officer, was hanged at once. Whe her any others went) executed I have not yet heard From Arungabad I imagine the General will proceed to Mhow by the Ajunta Gliaut and Barhampoor, calling, the troops at Malligeura across the country to join him before leaving. We have not been without our little alarms either in Bombay, or in Poonah or elsewhere. Bat no outbreak has taken place (for the Mahomedan riots at Broach, some time back, though ending in bloodshed, arose only cut of -4a local patrol between that people and the Pareses), nor THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 1857. did any sensible person doubt the fidelity of the native troops, bat only the temper of the loose population of the bazaars. At Poonah, the stetion was patrolled nightly by psrties of the 14th and 12th Lancers. At &terra, a man, employed as a peon or chttprassie in government ern/Toy was apprelasnded and handed over to the authorities by a party of the '2.2ad Native Infantry, with whose loyalty he was endeavouring to tamper. Ile was hanged, game' to the last, and uttering passionate' bursts of disaffection. A troop of the 14th and a company or two of the 3rd Euro peans went down from Poonah to aid the 22 Id in a case of ruing in this important and ao lately independent Ma,hratta ctty. A few words, before I close this long letter, as to the steps taken to obtain additional means of coercion. Theleft wing of the 6th (County Downs) is corning over here from Aden to join the heed Quarters. Two of the Penin sular and Oriental steamers still in the government employ have left for the Mauritius to ask for the loan of the sth Fusilieers, or for the 33:d, if it have rea3hed the island. If this request is refused, they go on to the Cape to see whether Sir George Grey can spare us a regiment or so. The troops on their tray to China w;11, it is said, be stopped at Singapore, with consent of Lord Elgin, and sent up to Calcutta. The whole press of India has been placed by an act that has recently passed the Legislative Council under a censorship—a step imperatively called for by the indec nt and disloyal manifestations of joy at our difficulties which appeared in some of the native prints at Ca cutta. Here there hes been, to my knowledge, only one instance of the kind, and the writer —a scoundrel of a Parsee, received such a rating from our superintendent of police—an iron functionary equal to the occasion—that he is not likely to offend agile. General Outram has returned with Colonel Lugard and other staff officers from 13w:hire. and the Persian prisoners have left Bombay for that post, Lord E:phinstone is here, hard worked, but well; the commander in-chief of India is still at Poonah. Sir Patrick Grant, by the way, has arrived at Calcutta, and taken command of the Bengal army. The late Colonel Chester is succeeded by Brigadier Chamber lain as Adjutant-General, and he again, by Colonel Nicholson, another of Sir John Lawrence's strong men. The monsoon has set in at last, but this June fall is much below the average. Little doing is the import or export markets. The money market is becoming somewhat more easy. Exchange on London, 2s 2-0." THE SIEGE OF DELHI. De!hi is still in the possession of the insurgents. According to the latest authentic accounts, which were to the 16th of June, General Sir Harry Bar nard - Was waiting for reinforcements. Rumours of the capture of the city had indeed been com municated on two occasions to the Bmnba s y g . government by their a sc e nt 4. T_'..• gut e _ - v AILIL, confirmed. The Bombay government received on the evening of the 23rd of June the following electric telegraph message from Colonel Durand from Indore, dated the same day :—" There was a very general report of the taking of Delhi, with great loss to the rebels. The superintendent has not received authentic news from Agra." The following electric telegragh message from Indore, from Col. Durand to the Bombay government, was received on the 24th of June :—" News from Neemuch of the 22nd state that Delhi was stormed and taken on the 12th. Such of the mutineers as remained alive took refuge in the palace." Notwithstanding these telegraphic despatches, the city had not been taken on the 16th of June. The accounts we have of the operations of Gen. Barnard's force are extremely imperfect, but some facts are ascertained. On the Bth of June, at two .o'clock in the morning, he arrived at Delhi, when the rebels who were outside the city were attacked and driven from the position which they had occupied. They fled into the town, and the pursuit was so sharp that the gunners threw themselves off their harses, and left the field pieces standing in the sand. " The heavy guns remained in position ;" twenty-six guns in all were captured, 'and, in addition, large quantities of ammunition and entrenchment tools. The outposts were taken possession of. We reget to say that Col. Chester, Adjutant-General, and Lieutenant Russell 54th, were among the killed. Our lose was about 150, chiefly in the 75th Queen's regiment. The army at the latest date was encamping in cantonments. A message from Major Lake, at Juilundur, com municating this information to Sir John Lawrence, at Lahore, adds;—" The mutineers had guns in battery round the flagstaff, but we outflanked them .on both sides. One column of ours marched down the trunk road, and another through canton ments. We work away with heavy guns to-morrow. This has been a brilliant affair. The guns of the mutineers were very well served, and the fire was very heavy. General Reed arrived just as the columns moved off, but did not command on the occasion.' The following description of Delhi appears in the Lahore Gozette.— The city is surrounded by a h'gh crenelated wall, in a deep ditch Ind glacis. At the Cashmeres gate only is there anything of modern f atification ; here there is a simple bastion with properly cut embrasures. It is enclosed, and forms the main guard. The city measures about two miles across, and is some seven or eight miles in circumference; on the east side the walls are washed by the Juana. The palace, as you perceive, is in a com manding position, and, though the walls are not calculated to resist heavy artillery, yet the place - could scarcely be taken without a breach being made in them, that is, if the garrison sh Aced any skill in its defence. The capture of such a place is a simple matter of time, and its fall might be e , lculated to an heur; but everything of coulee depends upon the plan of defence adopted by the garrison. It is possible that they may risk a battle outside the walls, in which case, after their defeat, they might be follcwed into the city and into the palace, and so Delhi might be taken by a rush,, but as our force is so very small, and such mighty consequences hang upon the success of our attack, the very greatest risk would be incurred by having our men exposed to musketry fire from houses, for a native's fire from a loophole is more than a match fur the European in the open. If our force was large we might make a dash at the place, and it is just possible that events may even justify sach a measure ; but, writing as I am at a distance, and only reckoning upon what might occer if the garrison were ably commanded, and were themselves resolved to fight to the last, I look upon it that a regale: saige, which cannot well fail, would be preferable. You see by the plan that the whole of the western• side is one mass cf native houses. To scale the walls would be easy, but no object would be gained by pouring our handful of troops into a sea cf houses, with streets barricaded ; heavy loss would unquestionably folio w. This mode of attack would be absurd, and would certainly en.l in dis comfiture. There are two modes of attack, however, which could not well fail, and I fancy that one or the other must be adopted. The first is to attack the palace at once from the river side, for the water until the end of the month is so very low, and is little more than a stream which is fordable, that would create no obstacle worth mentionirg. The batteries could be erected on the sand, and the camp being across the river would be safe. By shelling the palace and breaking its new wall, an assault could be made, and the fire of our guns would con tinue till our troops had fairly got in. The shelling would have destroyed all cover, and probably would have driven cut the defendants, so that there is little doubt but that the assault would be successful. Having got possession of the palace, the city falls at once. There is, however, a chance of the river rising suddenly, when the batteries would be destroyed, go that this attack en. tirely depends upon the river end the probability ofats rice. The next and safest mode of attack, and the one that in all likelihood will be the one adopted, is to attack near the Cashmeree gate , The advantage is this, that our left would be prote ted by the t iver, a great consideration in.a small camp. Our guns wo u ld soon ren d er t he tutu guard untenable, and to make a practicable breach in the wall between the Casemeree gate and the river would be a very simple operation Our ad vance would then be made i n th e o p en , an d w i t h little risk of loss from the fire of musketry from houses, for owing t o t h e ex pl os i on i n the magazine, it is probable that from the church to the palace all has been levelled. Our object, then, would be to breach _the palace in its north wall, mortars all the time doing their work. To storms the palace would close the proceedings. As the garrison ha ve so f ew artillerymen it does not seem likely that their defence is to rest in their guns. They will trust to musketry fire from houses ; in all probability they have undermined all the gates, and their plan will be to inflict upon us as muchloss as they can while gradually falling back, when they will hope to escape with their treasure, dispersing in every direction immediately they leave the walls. It is scarcely to be expected th i t an ythi ng lik e a v i gor o us or a systematic defence will be shown, and for this very reason, it would be most unwise to risk valuable lives, and run the chance of success by the sacrifice of a thousand men, when the same results can be obtained by a moderate delay, with a loss of perhaps not one hundred. Thus you tee that while it is possible that the place may be taken by a cotip de main, it weuld be better to do it lei sure l y , an d sure l y, an d therefore I think the public should have no app re h ens i on o f failure if they do not hear . of its being capt ure d a t fi rst sight, By proceeding deli berately on our part success under God's blessinkis sure. We only hope that . when the city is in our possession, one of our first acts will be to level the walls both of the city and palace. General Barnard was waiting reinforcements on the morning of the 17th, having repelled several sorties with success, and inflicted severe loss upon the rebels. The following despatch has been received from the General, relating to success on the Bth ultimo : Delhi Cantonments, Jane 8. Sir,—The forces under my command marched. from Allipoor at 1 a.m. this morning, and on reaching Baidlee Seraee found the enemy strongly posted in an entrenched position, which I have the satisfaction to inform you we carried after an engagement of about thsee-quariers of an hour, and proceeded to take up our present position, which we found to be over disputed ground the whole way, and finally a well defended line of defence from the signal tower to the Hindoo Rae house. Onr troops behaved with the greatest gallantry and persevering endurance, and afier facing very determined resistance drove the onemy within the walls of Delhi. All this was accomplished by nine o'clock in the morning. Our loss has been comparatively trifling, only one officer being killed; but I regret to say that Officer is Colonel Chester, adjutant-general to the army, who was esteemed by all for every qualifica tion that could adorn the soldier. I have • not been able to ascertain the particulars of our loss, or capture of guns, but I fear I cannot estimate the former under from forty to fifty killed, the number of guns taken to be about sixteen or eighteen. I do not in this hurried despatch attempt to recommend any one, but I cannot pass over the assistance I received from Brigadier Wilson, whose cool judgment entitles him to an equal share of any merit that may be given to the officer in command. From the Brigadier-General and staff of the army attached to me, from the division staff, I received every support, and from my personal staff, Captain Barnard and Lieutenant Turnbull, the most daring devotion. The c :nduct of the Goorkha Battalion, the Sappers, and other native troops employed was most praiseworthy ; they vied with their European comrades in forward daring. Tile troops of the native contingents did equally good service, including those of the Jheend Raja, and I cannot close this without especial notice of many gentlemen attached to the army in civil capacities, who not only accompanied us into the field, but did every service the extended nature of our nosition rendered particularly important in keeping up mutual communications. I hope to send you a fuller detail to-morrow. Oar siege train is up, and I hope to open on the town wifhout a moment's oelay. (Signed) H. Bettsaan. The following statement was issued on the 19th of June from the Judicial. Commissioners O ffi ce at Lahore un tne ] 6th, up to 4 p.m., all was quiet before Delhi, and no fighting. Three thousand of the rebels are en camped outside of the Ajmere Gate, and the force of the mutineers in Delhi appears not to exceed a few thousand, even after the addition of the 60th Native Infantry, and some others who have lately joined them. The 60th Native Infantry led the attack on the 15th and suffered severely. Our army is waiting reinforcements, a con siderable portion of which left Umballah on the 17th, and proceeded by forced marches to Delhi. " The Guide Corps and Goorkhas have continued to distinguish them selves as heretofore on all occasions. In one of the late encounters Birder Khan Sing Rouses, formerly a leader of great distinction amongst the Sirdars of the Ptinjaub, accompanied Captain Daly, commanding the Guides, charging on foot with great :bravery. He was severely wounded, and has received a handsome present from the Chief Commissioner, in token of his admiration, with a letter assuring him that his interes s and those of his family will be carefully looked to by the British govern ment. (Signed) R. MORMOMERY, Judicial Commissioner. Regarding the internal state of Delhi, our news is of an earlier date, and is contained in a letter to the Rajah of Jullundur from some one in the city. The Rajah placed the letter at the disposal of the deputy commissioner of Jullundur, Mr. Farrington, by whom it has been translated. The reports that the King of Delhi had consented to the wishes of the rebels are confirmed by this document, but it does not appear whether his consent was forced or voluntary. The letter also states that the King has given up his son to the insurgents, that he has nominated a native magistrate, that he summoned —the royal style—the principal men of Delhi to attend him but that they feigned sickness and refused. The city is reported to be in a most distracted state, and to have defied the efforts made by the King to restore order. "The civilisa tion of 53 years," says the news writer, "has been destroyed in three hours ; good men have been plundered, scoundrels enriched." The letter also furnishes a hint of the fearful atrocities which have been committed by the sepoys. " To-day," says the writer, "some fifty odd Europeans who had secreted themselves have been killed; they (the sepoys) are hunting for more, and if any be found they will be killed." When this letter %Vas written there were six regiments, one battery of artillery, and 500 troopers inside the city. Since that time many other regiments have mutinied and marched to the rebel headquarters, so that their force must now be considerable. A news letter from the city of Delhi says that strict orders have been issued by the King to the Hindoo stance soldiery to slay all the Sikhs who may to be met with; even men who from their counte nances may be suppos3d to be Punjabees, are to be slaughtered. A Fakeer, named Sham Doss, endea voured to raise an insurrection in the territory of our ally the Rajah of Nabah, whose troops are with our army at Delhi. Major Marsden the Deputy Commissioner of Ferozepore, proceeded against him with a wing of the 10th light Cavalry and two guns, and some irregular levies of Furrecdkota, and other places, attacked and dispersed his men, seized the Fakeer in a village, in which he had made a stout defence, and hung him. The conduct and gallantry of the cavalry is highly applauded. The advanced position of the army is Paneeput. The force under General Barnard is as follows :- 2 troops of Horse Artillery, 9th Lancers, 1 squadron, 4th Lancers, her Majesty's 75th Foot, let Fusiliers, 6 companies 2nd Fusiliers. The Meerut force which will unite with it is as follows :-6th Carabineers, 60th Rifles, 4 Horse Artillery guns, horse battery, 2 18-pounders, 120 Artillery recruits and some sappers, Sirmoor Battalion. The 60,h NI. has proceeded to Rohtuk. A detach ment of the sth N.I. and a portion of the 4th Lancers have reached Saharunpare, and order is being re-estab lished. The following is a list of persons belonging to the Delhi garrison who are still missing. It has been sent by Mr. Barnes from Urnballah 38rh Light Infantry —Colonel Ku; vett, Lient Gambier, Lieutenant Holland. 54 - h Native Infantry—Col. Ripley, Captain Smith, Captain Barrowes, Lieutenant Osborn, Lieutenant Waterfield, Ensign Angelo, Doctor Dopping, Lieutenant Edwardes, Ensign Vibart. 74th Native Infantry—Captain Gordon, Lieutenant Revely, Lieutenant Hyslop, Lieutenant Addington, Mr. Fraser, CS. ; Mr Hutcbinson, • Mr. Galloway, C.S. ; Lie u t. Wil son, Artillery; Mr. C.S.T ood, Electric Telegraph Deparment ; Mr. and Miss Jenning4, Mr. Taylor, of the College; RAT. J. Hubbert,. Mr. Bayley, postmaster, and six children ; Mr. Dalton, Inspector; Miss Clifford, Captain Douglas, Mr and Mrs. Beresford, and two children ; Lieutenant and Mrs. Forrest and two Mitses Forrest. The number of clerks, conductors, and miscellaneous Christian population is not yet known. We learn that only four officers of the 54th N. I. escaped—namely, Major Patterson, Captain *Russel, Lieutenant Anderson, and Lieutenant Wheatley. They bad gone out shcoting, and were on temporary leave. Dr Batson volunteered to go disguised to Meerut for troops, and has not since been heard of. MUTINY AT BENARES. There has been mutiny at Benares. It appears that it was first reported to the authorities at that station that the sepoys of the 37th Native Infantry had been more or less successful in their endeavours to tamper with the Sikhs. It was ac cordingly determined to disarm the 37th. On at tempting to carry out this resolve, the 37th mu tinied, and were joined by the greater part of the Sikhs. . The Irregular Cavalry (13th) were ordered to act against the mutineers, but they refused, and a great portion went over and joined them. The Artillery succeeded in dispersing tho revolters, who took the road to Allahabad. A letter gives the following account of the affair : Some of the 37th seized their arms and commenced firing at their officers. This appeared to be the signal, for the rest of the regiment then ran to the bells of arms ; the guns, however, began to pour in the grape so sharply upon them, that they were glad to beat a retreat ; only a few of tho most determined rebels still kept up a fire from the right wing at the effirers. The Sikh regiment all this time remained quiet on parade, passive spectators of the scene, but at this crisis they loaded, by order of Colonel Gordon. An ominous change then came over them. The cavalry first turned, and then with the Sikhs poured in a deliberate volley on the M e w standing around, three of whom fell. The artillery, in .return, gave them a shower of grape, which . sent them flying off parade. About 100 of the mutineers• were killed, and 200 wounded ; the rest bolted, throwing down their arms. The mutineers of the Sikh regiment tried to capture the guns, and were' thrice repulsed .with great loss. Only a few men of the Irregular Cavalry and Sikh regiment stood firm ; all the rest mutinied ; their discomfiture was com plete, thanks to the bravery of 180*Entopean soldiers, who defended the guns and charged and shot down the mutineers. Eight only, instead of thirty five as reported, of these brave soldiers were killed and wounded. The lives of the civilians and their families who had taken refuge in the collector's cutchery, were saved by the presence and noble exertions of Soorut Singh, a Sikh prisoner. He it was who went among the. Sikhs of the treasury guard and prevented them from rising after they had heard hob the men of their corps had been cut up, and by his influence they were kept at their post until next morning, when the treasury was removed to canton ments under an escort of Europeans. The portion of the Sikh corps over the treasury remained staunch. The 16116 wing is from Benares, dated 16 th ,Tune Thank heaven there is one man of n^rve here not afraid to hang a few rascals every cv-ning. I saw. a Sikh hung yesterday for shooting at a non commissioned officer. A gallows stands in front of the Main Guard, from whence the culprit is led at the appointed hour, the guard under arms, and a grave dug,on the flank. No useless parades or prancing, station, stuff, pomp, &I • Benares is ours, and likely to remain so, thanks to our brava troops. There is no excitement here ; confidence is established, and martial law carried out. I suppose from the position this will be chosen for the formation of a large force. We holl still the Fort of Allahabad. The natives about seem very anxious to circulate unfavourable reports. All the 84th will be here to-morrow, except the last detachment detained at Shergotty. ALLAHABAD. At Allahabad the mutiny broke'out on the 4th of June, when the " loyal " 6th Regiment, which had volunteered tr) proceed to Delhi against the rebels only a few days before, became the . assassins of their own officers, and then marched off to join the mutineers, after burning the church and every bun galow in the place, and looting the treasury. The whole number slaughtered amounted to 26, and amongst them we find the names of Captain Birch, the fort adjutant, and the following officers : Lieut Innes, ex-Engineer ; Lieut. Alexander, 2nd Light Cavalry ; Captain Plunkett, 6t,li Native Infantry; Lieuts. Stewart and,Hawes, ditto ; Ensign Munro (doubtful), Ensigns Scott, Cheek, Todd, Smith, Way, and Smith (doing duty with the regiment.) The Irregular Cavalry and Ferozapore regiments remained loyal, the fort garriSoned by European troops was safe. No European, however, remained outside the walls of the fort. Mr. Archer, the Commissioner's head clerk, was the only person saved out of his and his brother's family. SHAJEEHANPORE: The outbreak at Shajeehanpore seems also to have been very bloody, and characterised by cir cumstances of peculiar atrocity. It is said to have occurred on the 'evening of Sunday, the Bth June, during divine service, when the church was sur rounded, and every man, woman, and child mur• dered, a detachment of the mutineers being told off to fire the cantonment and slay the people in the bungalows. CAWNPORE. Concerning the mutiny at Cawnpore, we are in much uncertainty. Part of her Majesty's 10th Regiment and a battery of European artillery were fortunately on the spot, and a repetition of the tragadies at Bareilly and Shajeehanpore pre vented. There seems, hovever, to have been several days' fighting, but the mutineers were eventually driven out of the place: Many on our side are said to have fallen. GWALIOR. At Jhansi, near Gwalior, on the Bombay side, the left wing of the 12th Native infantry, a detach ment of native foot artillery, and the 14th Irregulars, rose and murdered all the Christians; but four escaped, and they are now in Agra. Our ladies and children had taken refuge in the fort ; they were, however, overpowered and sacrificed by the villians. Mr. Raikes, one of the judges of the Sudder Adawlut, with much exertion and a vast expense, in which others joined, raised a non military party of some 60 Europeans mounted ; kith these he hastened to the aid of some ladies who had collected at Etawah. He returned with his charge, all safe. How I envied him. • The ladies of Gwalior and the officers of the Contingent have all reached Agra. The Maharaj protected our ladies and our officers. The soldiers of the Gwalior Contingent demanded that their officers should be delivered up to them in order that they might murder them ; but the Maharaj would not do so, and these dear Irregulars were disappointed. At Gwalior, all that we know is that the contingent bas mutined, and as this consists of seven regiments of infantry, two of cavalry, and five companies of artillery, the defection of this army is most serious. The Maharajah protected our ladies and the officers who have ail arrived safely at Agra. The soldiery demanded that they should be given up, but the prince stood firm and rescued them. JULLUNDUR. On the night of the Bth a portion of the native troops at Jullundur broke out, and after wounding a few persons and losing twelve of their own num ber, made off in the direction of Phillore, crossing the Sutlej, it would appear, a few miles above that place. They have been pursued by a squadron of cavalry, some European Foot and guns, and a body of horsemen belonging to the Allowalla Rajah. The latest intelligence received is, that this force was about to cross the river in pursuit. The Sikhs belenging to each corps, besides others, of which the number is not yet correctly known, have remained staunch. The Native Troop of Artillery behaved throughout in the most admirable manner, firing on the mutineers and maintaining unflinching fidelity. The Allowalla chief rendered most cordial assistance. The bulk of the treasury has been brought off in safety by the native guards which were in charge of it. Forty of the 120 mutineers of the 55th Native Infantry were to be executed at Peshawur on the 13th. The 64th Native Infantry had been ordered in by forced marches to witness the execution. At Jullundur the mutiny broke out on the Bth, but we know Attie beyond the fact that the rebels were driven out of the camp with considerable loss, and were being pursued and cut up by a squadron of cavalry, some European foot and guns, and a body of horsemen belonging to the Allowallah Rajah. NUSSEERABAD. At Nusseerabad the mutiny broke out on the afternoon of the 26th of May, and commenced with the Bth and Light Companies of the 15th, who seized the guns, and retained possession of them, though the cavalry made several charges. The cavalry lost two officers killed and two wounded. The 30th soon joined in the mutiny. All the ladies escaped to Boawr. The mutineers having expelled their officers and the English, proceeded towards Bhurtpore, and on the 9:h June were supposed to be about three stages from Bhurtpore, having abandoned the guns two or three days previously. AZIAIGURH; The mutiny of the 17th N 1., at Azimgurb, broke out on the 3rd between 9 and 10. The Europeans on the first alarm repaired to a sort of fortified enclosure, but the guard on duty there refused to fight against their mutinous brethren , Lieutenant Ifutchinson went forward to try and bring ~ the mutineers to their duty, when he was shot by them. The quartermaster-sergeant of the regiment was also killed. Most of the other Europeans, including the ladies and children, Mr. Home, C.S., Mr. Simpson, C S., Lieutenant Cross, Lieutenant Constable, and several others, escaped to Ghazee pore ; Major Burroughs, commanding the 17th, and some other officers, are missing. A treasure of ten lakhs of rupees was in charge of a small party of Irregular Cavalry at Azicugurb, and Isir. Horne, C.S., has left Ghazeepore with 30 sowars to try and save it. • BIREILLY. The mutiny at BAreilly seems to have been a very tragic affair. All the bungalows are burnt to the ground, and we are in uncertainty, up to this time, of the fate of forty Europeans known to have been there, of whom nearly one-half were women and children. The following are the names of those who had arrived at Nynee Tal from Bareilly, up to 4th June:— Captain Brownlow, Major of Brigade. 18 h Regiment Native Infantry.-Lieutenant Hunter, Ensign Bor well, Dc. Oakeley. 68th' Regiment Native Infantry.—Colonel C. Trotip3Captain Robertson, Captain Paterson, Captain Gibbs, Lieutenant Warde, Lieutenant Christian, Lieutenant Stan ton, Lieutenant Rogers, Ensign Jacob, Dr. Bowhill, Sergeant Major Jennings. Artillery.—Captain Kirby, Lieutenant Smith. Bth Irregular Cavalry.—Captain Mac kenzie, Lieutenant Becher, Dr. Currie. Civil:ans.—Mr. Alexander, commissioner ; Mr. Guthrie, collector ; Mr. C. Currie, Mr. Pasley, Mr. Berkehly and son. College Teachers.—Dr. Anderson, Mrs. Tempstoe, Mr. Boddie, Rev. L. Poynder. Missing, 18th Regiment Native Infantry.—Major Hear son, Captain Richardson, Captain Hathorn, Lieut. Gown, Lieut. Stewart, Ensign Dyson, Sergeant Major, wife and four children, Quartermaster Sergeant Cross. Sibbald ; Ensign Tucker, 68th Native Infantry ; Pensioned Sergeant Hardy, wife and five children, with his nephew; Private Hardy, H.M: 32nd Regiment; Mr. Mathews, pensioner, and family; Mr. Wilkinson, a writer. All the above lived in cantonments, and nothing has been heard of them, or Q nartermaster sergeant belonging to the Artillery. Civilians Mlssing.—Mr. Robertson judge ; Mr. Raikes, judge; Mr. Wyatt, deputy collector; Mr. Orr, deputy collector ; Dr. Baeb,- College ; Dr. H ans b ow e, ooral ; Jail-sergeant Dr. Hay, civil surgeon. All the bungalows burnt to the ground at Bareilly, and the civilians and officers have lost everything they possessed. BHURTPOOII. The mutiny of the Bhurtpoor levies, under the command of Captain Nixon, and that of the Malwa Contingent of Mehicipore, have come to supplement our difficulties. The former troops were supposed to be actuated by the best feeling towards us, forming part of the body guard to his highness the Maharajah of Gwalior. Immediatcly the news of the Neemuch disturbances reached Captain Nixon, he set out with the Bhurtpoor levies, accompanied by Captain Gore Munbee,r of the Bombay Engineers, who, though scale in army rank to Captain Nixon, waived all etiquette in the matter, and placed himself under that officers command. They had only proceeded a couple or three marches, when the men refused to be taken against the mutinous Bengal Sepoys, and set the authority of Captains Nixon and Munbee at defiance. These officers had to fly for their lives, and in doing so passed through districts where they were frequently fired upon by the in surgents, and after many hairbreadth escapes, were fortunate enough to get safely to Bhutpore, "where they now are, neither of them having, we rejoice to say, sustained any injury. The infantry and artillery of the Malwa contingent are said to have remained loyal, the cavalry mutinying on the march to Neemuch and murdering their officers, Lieutenants Brodie and Hunt. DACCA: Letters from Dacza of June 15th state that great alarm prevails there, in consequence of the ex pected rising of the rabble, and the misconduct of the 3epoys of the 73rd Native Infantry, who refused to allow the artillery officer to take arms from the magazine for the defence of the city. • HYDERABAD. The tido of revolt appears to have reached the City of Hyerabad. Placards were posted all over the city on the 12th of June, signed by certain Moula vies, calling upon the faithful to enrol themselves, and murder the Ferringhees ; and at five in the even ing three guns from the Horse Artillery, with a de tachment of the Cavalry Contingent, went down to the residency. Each regiment had a company under arms at their barracks at night, which, how ever, passed without any alarm. The crisis is a dangerous one, and the grand display made at that station by having the whole force out in full marching order, with forty rounds of ammunition per infantry man, and .a field service compliment for the artillery is considered to have caused great uneasiness both there and in that city. It is also thought that the Madras government had com mitted a very grave error in sending the Ist Native Infantry to Secunderabad. There was a grand display on the morning of the 15th; all the troops including the Ist, assembled for brigade exercise with blunt ammunition ; the Resident was present, and on the conclusion of the parade he rode up to the 7th Cavalry, and told thern it had been reported to him that in the event of a distur bance they had declared He added that he did not believe this report, but that he considered it his duty to inform them of what he had heard, and left them to settle the same with their officers. A Fakeer from Bowen.' pilly had been apprehended and heavily ironed ; a Lascar had also been discovered, but particulars regarding him have not yet reached us. NEEMUCH. A letter from an officer who escaped from this place to Odypore gives the following account of what happened at Neemuch Oa the night of the 3rd of June, about eleven, the can tonment was aroused by the report of one of the guns, on which several bungalows broke into flames. One wing of the Gwalior corps, under Macdonald, was in the fort ; the other, under Rose, in the vacant hospitals. On the alarm, Rose attempted to get his wing into the fort, but the men refused to go ; and , one fellow fired his musket point blank at Rose's head, but fortunately missed him. After some delay, Macdonald came down and got the left wing into the fort; they then made some show of defence, but said, "if guns are brought against us, we must give in." Shortly after a trooper rode down, and told them to be ready and join them. At length the men told Macdonald and Rose to be off, otherwise their lives would he taken by the cavalry. Oa this Macdonald, Rose, the adjutant (name unknown), and Dareort, made a bolt to Daroo, and on the way they were joined by the artillery officers. Cuatcs, all the cavalry officers, and several others, in all about fifteen sahibs and five women. The cavalry men were the worst of the mutineers, and spared no Euro peans that came across them. The mutineers created Shaik Riadut Alli, subadar of the first cavalry, brigadier of the station, who issued immediate orders in the name of the King of Doihi, ant distributed the treasury amongst the sepoys. Everything was done in form; a big tent, with a flag flying before it, was made the headquarters of the brigadier, ssho 'appointed the several subadars and jarnadars, colonels, and majors respectively. A Kus.tilman subadar, Shaik Kasha, commands the 7th Gwaliors. Lloyd had received a report that an agent from Sciadiala had been tampering with the troops, and that it is Gwalior's intention to set up a Raj at Nomads. Macdonald attempted to take away with him his colours, but they were sn a t c h e d ou t o f 'hi s h and. Abbott, on e afternoon of the 2nd, attempted to surnjhao the cavalry, that as they had sworn to be faithful, they ought to regard their oaths, when they broke out with " why did you break faith at Lahore and again in Oude, and now you want to take away our religion, but you shan't." I have neither space nor time to give you all the details -- told me, bat he says that of all the bloody disasters that .have taken place, the Neemuch one exceeds all in cruelty. Those houses and things that would not burn they destroyed with hatchets. Old Pestonjee they blew away from a gun, and it is believed they treated some European wornou in the same way ; they have all gone up towards Di:hi, and Showers is too late for them Take my advice, disarm the cavalry at your station, and let slip Uohy Singh's men and the Bheels at them ; shoot them down like mad dogs or they will take you unawares, and then God help you. Don't be mistakingly merciful; - declares that the cavalry are sworn to murder all Europeans. RESTRICTIONS UPON THE INDIAN PRESS.

The China Mail, of June 4, gives the following summary of the attacks upen the Mandarin fleet* in the Canton river:— The long expected attacks by our Mosquito squadron on the junks anchored in the creeks on the river have at last come off ; for the rumours current among the Chinese last week:of the destruction of the mandarin fleets below' Whampon, were confirmed the day after our last publi cation ; and accounts of the exploits of our tars and jollies at Fatshan reached us by the Hongkong on Tuesday. With so many conflicting accounts before us, we must content ourselves with a mere outline of the operations; but authorised versions will no doubt be som supplied by the publication of the despatches. The first expedition consisted of the steam tenders Hong Kong and Sir Charles Forbes, and gunboats Staunch, . Starling and Bustard, with boats from the Sybille, Hornet, Fury, Raleigh, Tribune, and 2eflexible—the whole under command of Commodore Elliot. The fleet of junks, some five miles up Escape Creek, numbering about 40, anchored in line across the passage. The expedition entered the Creek at daylight on Monday the 25th, and the fire from the Hong Kong, Starling, and Bustard, soon drove the junks hams their anchorage. The boats then pushed on in pursuit, and kept up the chase, making captures of junks as they passed, for ten or twelve miles, to Tseen-tsune t where they found and destroyed the lorcha Anonymat Altogether 27 junks were taken-4arge vessels pulling 40 oars, and armed each with a 32-pounder and some lighter pieces—ten of which were made priz's of, and the rest destroyed. The second expedition of twenty boats took place on Wednesday, the'27th, up the Saw-shee Creek, and found! the junks at Tung-kun, about ten miles up the creek. The' Chinese were quite taken by surprise, and at first offered very little resistance, though supported by a small fort on the bank. But the creek was lined with houses on both sides, whence a close and deadly fire was opened by the braves. These were speedily, however, driven from the houses and forts by the marines, but not until many of our poor fellows had fallen. The junks taken on this occasion, including the Chinese commanders, were all destroyed. The third expedition was against the Fatsban fleet, on- Monday, the L ist June. The approach from Blenheim- Passage towards the nearest detachment of junks visible was commanded by an old fort, which has been recently armed and repaired. This was stormed about daybreak by a party under Commodore Elliott, accompanied by Sir Michael Seymour himself, at whom the defenders are stated to have pitched cold shot as he came under the walls. Different divisions of boats, in the meantime, under Com— modore Keppel and other officers,-pushed up the stream at a number of junks lying about the confluence of the Fatshan branch, with a creek to the south,_ o r on the left hand, so to s2cak, in rear of the fort: BY thin branch subsequently advanced Commodore El— liot upon some junks, the crews of which stood with unusual coolness till he was within, short range. They then fired and fled, attacked and pursued by the marines, who:had descended from the fort taken in the first instance. Commodore Keppel meanwhile bad pushed ahead with his boats, dashing at a fleet which, it would almost seem, had escaped the attention of the rest of our force. A tremen dous fire was opened on him, at thaosound of which the Hong Kong, and, at an interval of some distance, the Starling gunboat, moved up to support him. Before they could reach him—indeed we believe the Hong Kong ran aground—the commodore's gallant little boat squadron had suffered severely. On approaching the outer and . lesser of two islands below Fatshan, he found the passage to the southward barred, and attempting to pass by the Ithward, received the fire of some twenty junks jo posi tion. He had fallen back on the Hong Kong when the alarm was given that the junks were in motion, that is to say retiring; and being now reinforced by the arrival of some more boats, Commodore Keppel chased the enemy not only up-to, but into, Fatshan, capturing four or five of the junks that were attempting to escape by a creek or chan nel which divides Fatshan. The Fatshan braves turned out waving digs, Saa, and met with a warm reception from our seamen and ma' ines. Some papers seized show the junk fleet to have been that commanded by Su Hoi, but a few years ago a police runner in Canton. In the rebel rising of 1854-55 he came into notice as a brave, or head of braves, was transferred to the regular force, and has been very recently promoted to be a ell2u-pi, equal in rank to a lieutenant of oar navy. It is EOW some months since we first heard of his project ing a joint operation against our men-of-war - with Woeg Hoikwong, the senior naval officer of the Hai-oan station who had come up by Yeh's desire, with all the junks he could collect along the West Coast.
