The news of the Jhansi mutiny we communicated by last mail, with an account of, the bloody tragedy enacted on that occasion by the massacre of all the Europeans in the place. We now learn that, besides Mrs.- Skene and family, Mrs. Browne, Miss Browne, and Miss Davidson were killed. Altogether twelve of our countrymen and women were slaughtered in this small station. The only persons known to have escaped are two Customs' officers, who have reached Agra. _The only particulars we have of the mutiny at Banda . are contained' in a letter from Nagode, dated June 19, of which the- following is an extract : We have escaped from Banda to Nagode, and, through , OAPs mercy, have hem miraculously preserved. On Sun day, the 14!b, the Nawah's tro sps mutinied, as well as the Native Infantry. - The Mahomedans planted their fi.g and .wanted to kill us, but the Nawab stood by us, and we got into buggies and on horses ant got off. The place was in a blaze before we bad got a mile ; it was a fearful scene. We start again to-night for Mirzapo-e, and hope to reach it safely, but this district is very much disturbed. We have in our party Mr. and Mrs. Edmonstone, Mr. and Mrs. Webster, Messrs. Mayne, Sherer, Clark, Bews, Cousins, Hutchinson, Oswin, and Glyn. We are staying, with Major and Mrs. at Nagode, Their kindness is extreme, and we have rested two days. ' Of the whole country of Rohilcund, Futtehghur (Furruckabad) was the last station to rise. The 10th Regiment has tinquestionably given in simply to the force of the dangerous example all around it. The sepoys of this corps continued for weeks to guard, the treasury and maintain discipline, while every station near them was in open mutiny. They did not appear to have offered any violence whatever to their officer& but a most melancholy rumour. prevailed in Allahabad, on the 23rd inst., as to the fate of the unhappy fugitives after they left the place. We take, it from the Englishman, of the 29th ult Did the report of the massacre reach you of the Futtel ghur fugitives?, .It surpassed in atrocity all that has hitherto been perpttrated. 132 Europeans, men, women, and children, in 5U boats, left Futtehghur for this place. They were all the . non-military residents of the place. On arrival at Bhitoor the Nana Sahib fired on them with the artilery the government allowed him to keep ; one round shot struck poor Mrs. -, and killed her on the spot. The buai3 were thee boarded, and the inmates landed and draped to the parade ground at Cawnpore, where they were first fired at, and then literally hacked to pieces with tuiwars. Report says not one esciped. Bhitoor is a little place a few miles to the north of Cawnpore, and we sadly presage a confirmation of this intelligence, in view of the state of matters in that neighbourhood. A bloody reckoning will surely be exacted of these fiends in human shape At Mhow the 23c1 Bengal Native Infantry have mutinied ; the number Europeans slain is at present unknown, but it is said to be four. Tie officers are holding a fortified square in the place, where the ladies and all the other Europeans have taken refuge. If the 3rd Nizam's Cavalry prove staunch, they will soon be relieved, as Captain Orr %Nas within 60 miles of Mhow some days ago. We know little of the' state of matters at Indore, beyond the fact that the two regiments of the Maharajah Holkar have openly mutinied and proceened with the Bengal Regiments towards Oojein; on their way, as is supp ised, to Delhi The Maharajah seems to be in no way implicated in 'this business, but to have' acted with the same good •faith that has characterised the conduct of the G-walior Prince. We have now again arrived at the close of a long and tragic story. We can, of course, understand well the intense excitement this intelligence will produce at home, and we pass on without comment to notice the state of matters before Delhi, and the progress of the siege. The force at General Barnard's disposal has r mutinied, and the presence of -the- force at that. station will doubtless overawe effectually an open disaEction in that quarter For the future. As some uncertainty seems to exist as to the real strength of General Barnard's force before Delhi, we may as well state that it is composed as follows :-- Ce! EUROPEANS (About 8,000 Alen of all ArmF.) Her M-jesty's 61h Carabineers. Her Majesty's z kh Lancers. Her Majesty's 81 R-giment of Foot. Her M 1 sty's 61st Regiment of Foot (one wing).

The Rajah of Jheend's Force (strewth unknown). There . cannot be fewer than - 7,000 Europeans now before the place, If indeed they are not already inside. The native portion, of this force hai proved itself trustworthy ; and, considering the ',powerful artillery now at General -Barnard's command; and thestrength of his cavalry arm .(3,500 sabres), we shall have room to express the deepest dissatis: faction if the blow which is here struck be not final so far as the mutineers of Meru', . Delhi, and Nusseerabad are concerned. The miscreants are fahly caged; and will find their gravy in the spot they have polluted by tlr...sir bloody and atrocious crimes.

It is stated that our artillery did great execution, while the killed on oar side did not exceed 12. Lieut. Harris, of the 2nd Fusil'ors, was wounded, and Lieut. Chalmers, of the Guides, slightly. A letter received from Delhi, from the political agent at Bhurtpoor, dated the 22nd, states that all was well a' Lucknow and at Allahabad up to the last advicas ; and at the latter station it is stated that the mutineers were very severely dealt with by the Sikh regiment stationed there. The letter further mentions that a large force of Europeans was collected at Benares, which will, doubtless, have moved upwards ere this. It is reported that the mutineers of the Gwalior Contin gent are endeavouring to coerce tha Maharajah, bat their ultimate intentions are not kno Further details have been received of the action at Delhi on the 231, on which occasion the efforts of the mutineers were more detormihd than on any Kevious one. It is said that their dead, at the close of the day, were counted by hundreds, their aggregate being estimated at not less than 1,000, The gardens and baildinas outside of the city, in which they had sheltered themselves, and given us much • annoyance, have been taken possession of by us ; and it is said that, since the above date, they have, in a marked manner, evinced less boldness in their, ttacks than heretofore. R. MONTGOMERY, Judicial Commissioner. doubtless been inadequate for the reduction of the place, but as important reinforcements must have joined his camp long before this, we entertain a confident hope that our next advices will announce the fall of the place. Meantime, the force has not been idle. Animated by the courage of despair, the mutineers have made the most desperate sorties, but ever, with the same result. They have been driven back into the pity with terrible lees on every occasion, to find eventually, as we trust, their tomb within its walls. Our columns contain ample details of these several actions, and to attempt to summarise them here would swell our epitome to an inconvenient length. General Van Cortlandt, who _is marching upon Jhansi and Hisser with the Buttian ah Irregular Force, has had two engagements -with the rebels in the neighbourhood of Sirsa, defeating them in each instance with severe loss: The last action was a very decided one, and the rebels fled in dis order, leaving 200 men dead upon the field, besides many prisoners in our hands. The troops of the Bikanir Rajah, 2,700 men of all arms, have joined General Cortlandt's force, though what reliance can be placed on these men remains to be seen. Major- General Nicholson's moveable colunan was at Jul lundur at the date of our last advices, via Lahore. The whole Punjab remains quiet, than.ks to the energetic conduct of the .Commissioner and the men in command. Many of the disarmed native regiments have begged the restitution of their weapons, add to be led against Delhi, but it would be madness, after what has transpired, to listen to such prayers. The men may be loyal in their present.mood, but, in the presence of an example such as that offered now at Delhi, would yield 'to the dangerous influence to a certaintp. To overawe the Mower territory, and keep the Gwalior contingent in check, a considerable force is on the march from Deese, and must now be in advance of Nusseerabad . It consists as follows:- 3 Horse Artillery guns (Europeans). • 600 men her Majesty's 83rd Regiment of Foot. 400'1 - nen]. lth Regiment Bombay Native Infantry. Two squadrons 2nd Bombay Light Cavalry.

My Dear —, Rather a brick affair occurred here yesterday. During the day, but particularly in the afternoon, the-enemy were observed outside the Lahore gate in large numbers, evidently planning and carryiag out some special project. At half-past 4 o'clock, p.m,, our troops were turned out to ascertain, if possible, what it might be, and in vary short time they were busily engaged in most laudable musketry 'practice. Tombs (Itejor), with his troop of Horse Artil lery, was, as usual, on the ground. The Rifles (11.31.'s 60th) and the Ghoorkas being the principal Dramatis Personae. After a time it was observed that a large Serai, called "Eed Ghah," opposite the Ajmere gate, was being occupied by the enemy, and that it had been strengthened from without by the defences which had been const.ucted during the day. It was resolved that the said Serai should be ours, though I must tell you that it was an exceedingly strong position, which a few hundred stout hearted men might hold in face of thousands. It was attacked accorSing y, and taken in glorious style. The enemy stood for a time ; but their show of resistance was, on the whole, brief. The gates of the place were smashed, the enemy's ammunition (two hackery loads) blown up, and the only gun (a nine pounde ) which they had time to bring to the scene of action, spiked, taken, and walked off with taut le suite. Their loss was probably considerable —I should say, at least, 100 killed—whilst, I rejoice to say, we lost only three or four men in all, exclusive of a small number on the list of wounded. In the evening, whilst we were sitting at mess, in the open air, General Barnard rode up and asked if Major Tombs was present. On being informed that he was not, the General, without dismounting from his horse, said that he had come to the artillery mess publicly to expreSs his opinion of Major Tombs' gallantry in the affair which was just terminated. Ile said, considering the strong nature of the enemy's position—the resolute manner in which it was attacked—the masterly way in which our troops were handled, and the happy result of the whole engagement he had never, in the course of his military experience Sion more remarkable bravery, or cooler, better judgment displayed by any officer in the field than by Major Tombs of the Artillery. The word by which the General characterized it was Glorious.' Tombs was slightly wounded on the arm by a musket bullet—and had two horses shot under him—haiing already since we left Meerut, lost area chargers in the same way. With such facts, such results, and each praise as I have mentioned surely the Vietotia Orate would, be _ Two squadv.ons her Majesty's 14th Light Dra goons.

We shall have 400 more Europeans two days hence, and a few days later awther reinfo-cement. Our supports are coming from Ferozepore, Jullundur, and Lahore. Colonel Becher's wound in the arm is not serious, and he will be fit for work in a few days. We are sorry to learn, from later letters, that on the 19th the Nusseerabad mutineers, with some (said to be six) guns, contrived to get in rear of our position and created great confusion. They were of course driven back, with a' heavy loss in kilted and wounded and two gees, but our loss was also severe, and when we consider that common precaution weuld have averted this loss, we feel bohnd to state that there must he great incompetency somewhe..e ; and the sooner the valuable lives of our brave soldiers are entrusted to other care the better._ The losses we have to deplore are Colonel Yule, 's 91 Lancers, Captain Alexander, 3rd Ni.,.r. Humphrey,.and ten men killed • Coronet Becher, Quarter-i ' Master General, and several others wounded. If our brave men, the heroes of our. country, are to be made targets of after this fashion, we see no po'icy in delaying the assault. It would surely be better to lose them and gain the city of Delhi, and the punishment of the traitors within it, than to lose them and gain— two guns!

The native army,, on the other hand, including the polie , e, amounted to 283,.;69 of all ranks. To-the latter must ha added, according to the same official authorities, the standing armies maintained in time of peace, according to treaties, by the several independent native princes in alliance with the British Government, 3 93,91 a. If we make allowance for offi.;ers on leave in England, and for other, casualties, aud, on the other hand, take into consideration, the,.numher of civilians at different stations, we may set down the number of 50,000 as a fair estimate of the Englishmen who were in India at the time of the outbreak. On the other hand, we see that 687,514 native soldiers of alt grades' were amounted for, a proportion of about one European to every fifteen natives. These arc) fearful odds, as the Englishmen were scattered overya area of more than a million square milAsA AGRA It is some time now since we heard anything of or from friends "far away," nor have we had an opporthnity of communicating our situation to them. Living in "the midst of alarms," some anxiety must be felt on our ac count, which we will endeavour to dissipate by showing how far we are prepared to resist any attack from without, and the precautions taken to prevent any local disturbance, by disarming the tag-rag scum, the friends, and arming the wealthy and respectable, the enemies, of disorder. And we doubt not but our present issue will fiad its way even to Bombay and Calcutta. It must be remembered then that we have A.khbar's fort here, and never during or since the days of the old hero has his citadel been the scene of such rapid and complete preparations to endure a siege, or form the lair whence the British Lion, in-all the confi fence of undaunted c mrage and unsubdued strength, miglit leap on the insurgent foe. The walls bristle with cannon, with ammuuition in abund ance and handy, in fact the whole place exhibits a perfect paraphernalia of war. Our old friend, Jotee Persaud, has again shown himself the bast commissariat officer in the world, by laying in, within thirty, hours of receiving' the order, stores and provisions to last 10,099 men for a month; old buildings have been repaired, and rendered somewhat habitable, and acconimodation for upwards of 3,000 Individuals secured. In the search for these habita tions, and the consequent clearings and excavations, many strange nooks and eubterraneous passages and buildings have been discovered, which will, in more quiet times, form curious objects of research for the antiquarian ; among them is a large well, having six ranges of apart ments piled one above the other, with steps leading down, the last range reaching the water's* edge. The fort, how. ever, is a last refuge, and will at first be"used merely as a place of safety for the families of the soldiery, or those requiring special protection, so as to allow them complete freedom of action. However, the European inhabitants, although not in the Fort, .are not on that account scattered, nor defenceless, but with a prudence taught by incidents of the mutiny, the largeet and strongest build ings in the station have been fixed on by authority as places of rendezvous; of these there are fire or six fixed in convenient parts for the residents. Arms and ammunition are provided from the fort, and these living in the neigh bourhood are desired to resort to them in case of any alarm; All men Christians have volunteered to form a, garrison for one or other of these posts, the defences of the buildings, which already present a pretty formidable appearance, and the discipline of the men, which beine, willingly submitted to, already does them credit, are entrusted to military officers. Those capable of riding horses are formed into cavalry corps, of whom some have already seen service on the Allygurh road. A few men have already been dismissed from artilery practise, being pronounced unfit to m huge cannon. We regret, however, to oberve a want of system and unity in al these efforts, which has a tendency to create selfiehness and disunion. We would recommendthet all the different parties be considered as forming but different sections of- one corps, which, though separately trained, may occasionally bs'taught to act in concert. Tne officers of the insurgent corps, who form so numerous a body here, may be placed in commend ; a regiment of a thousand men may thus be formed little inferior to the European rrgelares. The overgrown jail in the 'heart of the civil lines, against whose existence and extension we formerly protested so long and warmly, besides an increased guard of Barkundazes, is commanded by a couple of cannon and a party of European soldiers posted on an adjacent hill. In short, forewarned and forearmed, the station has hitherto been shunned by large bodies of the insurgents, who little like any opposition, and have hitherto been only succeesfel . against single unarmed men and weak women and ehildren.—From. the Mofussilite, June 23.
