CROP : regard to tote growing, crop, we con'inue t' receive more favourable accounts. It was feared that the hot weather succeeding the rains, would he productive of much daMage by causing a shed hog of the balls, &c. Such fears, however, have to a great extent been removed, as the plant is reported to be fruiting well. Everything now depeads on the weatherhereifter to be exp.rienced. FREIGHTS : There is more offoting for LiverpOol previous rates, however, cont'nne to be paid, viz : 33 p e r bale ; to Havre, lc per lb. I.XCHANGE3 on London continua dal ; the rate is 1081 to 109 per cent, and on Paris there is very little doing at 5.181 to 5.22 a. I copy the fall twieg from the New Orleans Price Current of the Ist September:—" The qaestien of crop has now atta'n d an interest and impo,-t ince never b!fore approache 1 in the his ory of the cotton trade. With the comparatively short crop of the past year :he 01l steel, have melted awoy, and consumption has absolutely over taken production; a state of things which is f. aurehe with startling interest, especially to G-eat Britain. Und4 these circumstances the prefpects of the growl - 1g crop are watched with an absorbing anx'ety by the Britisa commu nity, and an anxiety not a little perplexing, we may well conceive, after the sign 1 disappointment of their hopes touching the extent of last year's crop based upon taith in some of the New York estimates. -This question of crop is one which vie have akv .ys touched with great caution, and we can only speak in general terms of what are understood to be ita oresent prospects. We will, however, premise th tt, beyond a doubt, pre; a ations were made for the largest crop ever grown. There was e ;cry motive for such a course, and such is uneerstood to be the fact. A remarkably favourable early spring caused an unusually extensive early planting, and thus much was exposed to the frost of the 5.h April, and killed. Another kil ing front occurredon the 13th April, and still another. and the moat severe, en the "23rd. This is the latest killing frost, considering the condi-ion of tho plant, that has occurred since 1849, when wilt k-ilieg frosts on the 15th and 16th April, the crop was less than that of the year pre vious in theamount 01'632,000 beles. These successive frosts and sebsequent unseasonably cool weather put it beyond a doubt that the crop must be a late ore and it was said that in some sections the land was not replanted to the originel extent for want of seed. At last, however,, a goad "wand" was understood to have bean pretty generally obtained, and since then the plant is said to have made good progrees and to present fair promise, though there were complaints of too much rain in same sections at the close of July, and in the early part of Auge-t. The lateness of the crop, how ever, is now an assured fact, and we can hardly believe that even the mast favourable future circumstances can fully compensate for the loss of three to four weeks of the early picking season. What the extent of the crop may ultimately be is, under the peculiar circumstances, a ma'ter of even more uncertainty than moral at this period of the se's .u. Whatever it may be, however, it C.tnnot exceed the wan's of the world, and without the interposition of some great (Hs, turbing caus , , it would seem assured of a rea!y.mtket at even a higher average of prices than av,s remised the past sees n. In calculations of crop, it should be borne in mind that the interier is nearly bare of stec'e. aid That lie au; ply ii to be drawn almost:exelus - vo'y from the pro duct Or this year. It may also bs wtll to remember that .he large crop of 1855-56 was an unutPially ear:) , one, nearly 24,000 bales of it having ben receive! previous to the firs; September—about treble the goant;ty received up to th.t time in any previous rar; Hal it shoaid further he remembe , e3 that of the total crap of 3,527 000 ba'es was esimatel that only ab ut 3,300 bales were the growth of 1855."

Fort William, Bth August, 1857. INDIA, AND CHINA. The Calcutta mails to the Bai of August are now to hand, also Hong Kong advises to the 24th of July. As the news is of much interest we proceed to supply an ample summary We take the: following from the Calcutta Eng shman of the 8t 'a August : " We fear that when this paper reaches our Eng- fish readers they will throw it away in disgust, ex-- claiming, " Out on you, owls, nothing but songs of death" It is 'with the deepest sorrow that we say we have nothing else to record One calamity fol lows another, and nothing cheering can_be related save the indomitable spirit eVeyywhcre displayed by British soldiers, which carries, them through difll 7 culties otherwise ,overwhelming. One serious misfortune, and one alone, has occurred to them, which was in pursuing the mutineer from Dinapore. It is a month at• least since a deputation of mer chants interested iCproperty in the neighbourhood of Dinaporo waited - - lin the Governor-Gneral to entreat that the three native regiments at that station m4,ht be disatincid. The reply was an ex pression of confirlenee in their fiielity. At last the symptoms of mutiny: became unmistakable even to the obtuse senses of the military autho rities, and then the attempt to disarm was so clum sily made as to fail, and to cause the loss of about 200 lives, and probably from 10 to 20 Lacs worth of property, But after such tragedies as those of Jhana and (iawnpore others sink into insignifi cance. Wo have not yet all the details of this last terrible massacre, but it is computed that nearly a thousand Christians loSt their lives in it. ..—....,...... ..._ Cawnpore was formerly an important military station, but has of lute years been but slightly gar risoned. Its convenient pOsition for connecting the trade of the upper and lower provinces made it the site of several thriving commercial establish ment, and it was also inhabited by a number of East Indian families,,who had property there or in the neighbourhood ; and also by pensioners, who found it an agreeable resijence. • On the breaking out of the mutiny there all these unfortunate peo ple. except a few who were able to take shelter with General Wheeler in the cantonments, were ruth lessly massacred, with every possible aggravation of cruelty and insult. General Wheeler, with his handful of European soldiers, entrenched himself, and maintained his position so long that the most sanguine hopes were enter:ained of his deliverance, but intercourse was so completely cut off that nothing was positively kuovin till the arrival of General Havelock's force at Cawnpore, when the dreadful fate of that little garrison was ascertained. Two or three only have escaped, enough to tell the dreadful tale of unprovoked barbarity and faith lessness. Among the sufferers were the women and children, nearly. 200 in number, of Her Majesty's 32nd Foot, whose depot it was.. The feelings of every British soldier in India may therefore be imagined, and, if they should in future be accused of cruelty in their vengeance, it need only be replied,—Remember Cawnpore.! - . " The most painful reflection in this matter is, that all the valuable lives thus sacrificed at Cawn pore and at Lucknow, all the lose of property throughout the adjoining provinces, and all the !murders at Allahabad, might have been easily preVented. Jung Bahadoor, the ruler of Nepaul, has written to a friend here thate.at an early period of the mutiny, he offered to Bond 10,000 wen to the assistance of Government, and , if desired', to take the command of them himself. Thinking, as! as every rational man did, the occaaion urgent, he pushed on 3;000' al once into the British. terri tories. He received a civil answer, declining his effer, and requesting that the 3,000 men might be withdrawn. Before they could reach the frontier another message came, requesting they might occe more advance on Lucknow ; which was complied with, but too late, it is to be feared, to be of much service. New; remarks this saganions ruler, in the letter above-mentioned, cif this is the way you treat your allies, you need not be surprised if they lose all confidence in you. " Those who have lost dear friends and relations, those who froneofftuence are reduced to want, may be expected to express themselves bitterly, but we think the calmest reflection will justly fix a heavy load of censure upon Indian maladministration.., We said on a former occasion that Lord Canning, as a stranger, unavoidably trusted to those about him, and has laudably exerted himself to the lamest, but men in offie:e here, clinging to the system by which they.. have their gains, could not or would not see that it was crumbling under their feet, and resemble those who, seeing house- alter house swallowed up by an inundation, flatter them selves it will never reach that which they inhabit. " It will be asked what are our present hopes and prospects ? In the Punjaub mutiny has been quelled and punished with a strong hand, bat from its frontier thrinighout, the North-Western Provinces law and government. do not exist, and, except here and there an isolated garris.en, the British power is for the time extinct. Delhi has not fallen, nor is it believed that the little army which has dared to besiege the numbers collected there can take it without reinforcements. Agra is believed, for we have no certain infermation, to have been plundered, and the garriseu to have retired into the fort. Descending the, Ganges, we held nothing but Cawnpore, which is re-occupied and held by Gsaieral Neill General Havelock advanced from - that point to the relief of Ir:know e but has been, opposed by so large a force that It is understood that he will have to wait fer reinforcements, of which, according to the latest accounts, a small detachment has reached him. It is supposed that on his' reaehingeLuoknow the garrison will be withdrawn, and Oude aban doned for the time, and that a force will be coo centrated at some convenient point, to advance as, soon as the saaeon permits Bengal and Behar would have been undisturbed had not the wretched blundering at Dinapore enabled the mutineers there to escape, and to do much mischief. Tice revolt, which according to the latest English papers was declared by Mr.-Vernon Smith in his place in Parliament to be entirely subdued, now includee at least 100,000 men, and extends through whole . , - 1 kingdoms." THE MUTINY AT DINAPOItE ON THE 25TH JULY. (From the Calcutta Englishmqn) " On the arrival of a detachment of her Majesty's 87th at Dinapore en route to Ghazeepore, the Brigadier-General took that opportunity of remov ing from the magazine. (which was most impru dently built near the native lines), all the percussion caps and nearly all the ball cartridges' to the Artillery Barracks. Some Sepoys immediately cried out " They are removing our ammunition, stop it, and kill the officers.' It is said the Assistant- Adjutant-General, on hearing this, ordered the guns to be brought forward, but the order was almost immediately countermanded ! Soen after the General sent a message to the mutineers, at 6 or . 7 it.m , that if they did not deliver up peaceably by 4 pm. the ammunition, he would punish them; thus the mutineers had about nine hews time to arrange their plans of attack, -&c. It seems they spent that time . is filling their pouches with cartridges, and in sneaking off in small numbers out of cantonments. This move was not known till about half-past two o'clock, when signals were fired from the outpost stationed in the European Hospital. " The alarm be no' sounded, the guns, six in number, went out and found the 'Jacks' had got a start of a mile, after whom they sent some round shot, which seems to have had no effect, for, probably, not more than one of the rebels was injured. Two companies of mutineers took to the boiN, with the intention of calling' in on the station of Bankipore and the city of Patna, but their_ intentions were frustrated by the execu tion of the rifles of her Majesty's 37th from shore, and on board the steamer, The steamer's guns likewise opened upon them, and not a soul of those afloat lived to see Patna, though their corpses must have passed the city in numbers. The rifle practice was superb, almost every ball knocking a mutineer into the water- Those who kept to the land bolted in a south-westerly direc tion, and it is supposed they will skirt the river Soane, and cross it at some-distant point, and then push on for the Grand Trunk Road, and try their luck at Buxar and Ghazeepore. "The Brigadier-General, when the cannonading commenced, it is said, very prudently left the "std tion for the steamer, and the cantonment yiNtts under no command ; every officer acted inOt pendently and to the best of his judgment, and consequently matters were at sixes and sevens. It is : fortunate for us that the Sepoys were such arrant cowards, for had they made a stand there was no one to give the necessary orders, and the cantonments and the whole . province of Behar would-have been at the mercy of the mu tineers. - " It is not improbable the mutineers may revisit us ; the Bakreed - is not far off; the question now asked is who is to command our defensive opera tions ? " Fears are now entertained for the residents of Mozufferpore and Chupra, as also of Bhaugulpore, where the sth Irregulars are shaky. We must have more Europeans at Patna ; 80 men and two guns are now here, but that is not enough. JULY 26 , . "Troops mutinied yesterday, the 25th, the 7th, Bth, and 40th. Troops were out in a moment, ' together with the Fusileers (the 37th, I believe, from the Hnorungotta) , joining. Artillery were brought in position, but all this served only to dis perse them. A company of soldiers, with all the civilians, peppered into them as they tried to escape in boats, the steamer running the boats down, the men crying out, ' Dhoy Company ka, dhoy Khamin ka..' 4 The James Hume has gone up with 50 Euro peans, and a portion of the. sth Fusileers to intercept them on the Soane river, ea route to Arrah, whither they have directed their course. " 100, more•or less, of the 40th still staunch, in cluding the Band boys. • " The 7th and Bth have carried theirColours with them, beating the big drum as they went. - " We arrived here about a couple of hours ago very opportunely, f for all the native regiments mutinied yesterday and fled. It seems it was in contemplation to parade and disarm them last evening, ancVas a preparatory measure it was pro posed to take away all their gun caps. The ,ammu nition cartfs were sent down to their lines, and the 40th gave up their caps ; the others resisted. Upon this thy) Europeans (10th, .3‘h) and artillery turned o'.tt, but they had scarcely time to approach the mutineers, who were drawn up in line, when the latter fled en masse. A lot of them made for the river, and got into boats, but the Lady Thricli well, which is lying here, steamed up, and soak five; many of them then jumped into the water, and floating down the stream, got across the river. The main body, hovi ever, are in the country, about four miles from this, and are said to meditate a • descent on Patna and Gva. " The Lady Thackwell was lying here, with artillerymen and guns on board. The Hoorungotta is lying down at Patna. " The greater portion of the mutineers have made off with their arms and ten rounds of ammunition each. but only enough yaps to discharge these. (' We do nat. know yet whether this vewl or the detachment she c arr6s will be detained here or not. The commanding officer 'nas gone ashore to report his arrival. The Lady Thackwell isjust off on her upward trip with artillery. " We liave singe heard that they threw away the greater part of their arms, which have been picked up. At half-past six o'clock the Lady Thackwell arrived, and immediately landed Major Eyre and his men with four guns. "The James - Hume with Her Maje:ity's Viralleer.; gat to the Dinapore Ghaut at half-past ten o'clock on the `2602, so that there would be more men at the station .to defend it-. JULY 30, 6 r. 14. "We lave ,just arrived, and have learnt very sad news. It seems a forte left this by steamer the day before yesterday, consisting of about 350 men of the 10th and 37th, and 50 Sikhs, bound for Arrah. They were landed abreast of the place, marched up to it, and attacked theenetny The result is most mournful to record;. they were of course immensely outnumbered, and after hard fighting had to retreat, having suffered a fearfhl loss of about two hundred` killed and wounded, among whomo are eight officers. The remnant made good their re reat to the steamer,. and returned here about 13 ()Week to-day, bringing with them- a great number of the wounded. "Tu ) General sent.loo min an.l:two guns away from here to clay, so that only about 250 men and four guns now, remain for the protection of this place- Everybody is cursing •1 s incapacity whose mismanagement has brougizt about these disasters. "TIT 13)ru'lay left an houe alf, on her w.iy to ni-et the. Charles Mica, an, i hasten the arrival of the reinforcements she carries. I will now close this, and hope it may reach Calcutta safely. It is not at alt improbable now that an attack, will be madl: by the insurgents upon this place—indeed, it is reported that they ara on their way down. The following letter is -from one of .the- officers engaged in the dirmstrona of iir at Arrah : " One hundred and ninety men of the 37th_ Queen's were despatched from Dinapore at. fre'reloek onthe evening of the 26th inst., in the Hoorun gotta steamer and treopboet, destined for the 'relief of Arrah. It being moonlight, they steamed on until 10 o'clock, when th 3 moon wont down, and. shortly afterwards the vessel glt aground. In this position they remained for about 36 hours, when the Bombay was sent up from Ditiapore on the morning•of the 29th with 150 men of the 10th and about 70 Sikhs, the latter nude?: the-command of Captain Ingleby. The Bombay towed off the troop boat, but could not stir the Hoorungotta; leaving her there she steamed up the river with the Whole foree, now numbering more than 400 , men, : and landed them about four o'clock in the 'evening about 12 miles from Arrah. From this point, they began their march upon Arrah. On the way they. were informed that the place had been eva• ' mated by the mutineers, and, relying on this, Captain Dunba", of the 10113, who commanded, persisted iu pushing on. It was 11 p.m , and quite dark when they reached. They were at once fired into from both sides of the road; volley alter volley- was poured into them by the unseen enemy. and decimated their ranks. What with the darkness and the confusion arising from an unexpected attack, they now got separatei, and, were afraid to fire, not knowing whether they would be killing friends or foes. Thus they remained all night, being repeatedly fired into by the enemy, who were, no doubt, acquainted .with their whereabouts. As -morning dawned they found themselves terribly reduced in numbers, and, knowing they were much too weak to assume the offensive, began a retreat. Although this movement was conducted with all the skill that circumstances permitted, and under corer of skirmishers, they lost a great many men, being pursued incessantly by-th e enem y, who fired into them from behind trees and other hidihg places. It being impossible to carry away all those who were too severely wounded to walk, they were obliged to leave them to their fate. It is this circumstance which has made the total lose so heavy, amounting, as it does, to fully one-half of out' force. "The remnant made good their retreat to the steamer, (including all those whose wounds per mitted them to be helped along.) and returned to Dinapore at 12 o'clock yesterday. Thus ended this melancholy btriness. The march upon Arrah at night was very injudicious, as our soldiers never oven had a chance of seeing the enemy until the following morning. The locality also was unknown to them. They had no means of carrying away their wounded, and I am told the men of the tOth had had nothing whatever to eat the whole day of the 29th. .‘' I have heard only a few names of the officers who were killed, viz., Captain Ingleby, Ensign. Anderson, Captain Dunb.tr, and the three officers of the 37th, whose names I don't know." OYE RLAND MAIL. OFFICIAL NEWS. We have received the following narrative of events from the Government at Calcutta ) The narrative transmitted by the mail on the 21st ultimo contained the news received up to that date. Agra : A letter from the Lieutenant-Governor, dated 30th June, accompanying, gives the occur rences in the N.IVV. Provinces up to that date. Last news up to July 19th : The fort is still occupied, and tranquility has been restored in the city and cantonments. On the sth of July 500 of the 3rd Regiment, with the European Horse Battery, moved out to attack the Meerut muti- neers. r Two ammunition waggons blew up, and want of ammunition compelled the troops to retire, which was done in an orderly manner. The result was the removal of the troops into the fort, where the European inhabitants had already been assembled. The Agra Govern ment has been desired to open a communica tion daily with Delhi, as well as with Cawn pore. Lieutenant-Colonel Cotton was directed to take command of the troops, superseding Brigadier Polwhele. Allahabad: Supplies of all kinds collecting fast. Country tranquil, and order restored here as well as in the neighbourhood. An extensive entrenchment is being made under the direc tions of Captain Yule, of the Engineers. The country have provided abundant supplies of all kinds, which are being stored for the troops expected. Attack : No news. Azinghur : The mutiny of the 12th Irregular Cavalry at Segowlee compelled the Azinghur party to abandon that place a second time. The troops had previously had some engagements with insurgents and Mudha Persaud. The detachment of the 12th Irregular Cavalry on duty at Azinghur deserted on hearing of the mutiny of the head quarters of the corps, but did no injury to their officers. • 500 Ghoorkhas have been ordered to this place, but had not arrived. Barrackpore (Fort William) : Nothing re markable. There was a considerable panic among the inhabitants of Calcutta at the time of the Bukeereed, which, however passed off quietly. The body guard have had their arms, &c., lodged in the arsenal. Two regiments of Madras N.I. have reached Calcutta, and are about to be despatched, one to Dinapore by steam, the other up the Trunk-road. One hun dred European Infantry and a detachment of 120 Sikhs 4.ve been sent to Raneegunge. The Sikhs have been taken from all the Native Regiments below Allahabad, and formed into a separate corps. At present only 120 have been brought together. Bareilly : No news. Benares : A fortified position has been taken up at Rajghat. Guns have been sent down from Allahabad and Chunar to mount on the works. All quiet. Thp. irregular Cavalry remnant of 13th was disarmed and deprived of their horses on the 6th instant. Berhanzpore : The troops, consisting of the 63rd Regt., NJ., and about 400 men of the I ith Irregular Cavalry, were disarmed without diffi culty on the 2nd of August. The Newab Nazeew's troops and the townspeople were also disarmed quietly on the following day. The horses of the Cavalry, as well as the arms were away from them. filtatiqulpore : All quiet by last accounts. Orders were sent to disarm the- troops, but the Commissioner represents that the order could not be carried ou: at Bhaugulpore ; the greater part of the sth Irregular Cavalry was in the district, when it would be impossible to carry into effect the disarming, and if the attempt were made it would be followed by the murder of the officers detached, as well as the civilians at outposts. _ _ _ liolandshuhur : Nothing from this place. Cawnpore: Was re-occupied on the 17th. The Nana Sahib fled from Bitoor, which was taken possession of by the troops, his palace burnt and magazine blown up ; 13 guns were taken and a number of animals. Brigadier-General Have. lock's force effected the passage of the river by the 28th, having `met with great difficulty on account of the want of boats. Brigadier-General Neil was left in. command at Cawnpore, with a small force of 300 Europeans and some guns, and he had re-established the British authority in the city and the bazaar, and the neighbour hood was tranquil. General Havelock marched on the morning of the 29th, met the enemy at Oonou, defeated them, and took three guns. After resting he proceeded on. when the enemy advanced to meet him ; an action took place which resulted in the total defeat of the enemy with the loss of twelve more guns. Brigadier- General Havelock proceeded on to Busheergunge where he again met with opposition, but he took the place, driving out the enemy, and took four more guns; in all nineteen Chunar : Some additional' fortifications are being made to strengthen the place; and fifty European Infantry and a few Artillery have been added to the station. Dacca : All quiet. Delhi: A mess4ge from Agra of the 19th July mentions that the troops had remained merely on the defensive up to the 14th. The mutineers attacked every third or fourth day, and are invariably repulsed. with loss. Our force consists of about 6,000 troops of all kinds, exclusive of sick and wounded. Up to the 14th there had been 159 killed ; !83 were sick, and 352 were wounded. Dinapore : ,The three Native Regiments, the 7th, Bth, and 40th, deserted bodily on the after noon of the 25th, taking with them their arms. The percussion caps in ,store had been removed in the morning, and the demand to deliver over the caps in pouch was the immediate cause of the mutiny. An attempt was, after some delay, made to follow the mutineers, but its result was qui'e fruitless. Nothing was done fur some days, when a detachment, consisting of two companies of the 10th Foot, two companies of the 22nd Foot, and 50 Sikhs, were sent under Captain Dunbar, of the 10th, to drive the mutineers out of Arrah, to which place they had proceeded, and were be sieging the civil officers and European residents. The party landed at night from the steamer, and proceeded towards Arrah. In the dark they were led into an ambuscade, were attacked by the mutineers, and driven back with the loss of nearly half the party. The remnant had returned to Dinapore. Major .General Lloyd has been re moved from his command, for his culpable neglect, and the Commander-in-Chief has been requested to institute the usual preliminary inquiry preparatory to his trial by court-martial. `No further attempt made to relieve Arrah from Dinapore, but Major Eyre of the Artillery had.

The following is from Jubbulpore, dated 23r4 July :- You will be gild to learn that the 42i Bengal Native Infdntly, that mutinied at El ugor, hive been cut up almost to a man, and that the 314. Bengal Native Infantry behaved most loyally. When the 42nd mutinied they called on the 31st to join, were refused, and, as an inducentent or compulsory meastiv, fired in o the 31st, bat, no cbubt to their astonishment, the 31st paid them off in their own coin, and fairy boat them out of the station, and that without the assistance of their European officers, who very naturally would not at first trust their men and remained in tte fort. About 25 men of the Irregular Otvalry joined thet , 42nd ; the mutineera, after b(iog so signally repelsed by the 31st, mixed with and assisted a "•Tako - )r's" force its plundering vi'lages ;- being somewhat successful, they returned with a goodly qaanti y of loot, over which a dispute arcse with regard to distribution, and the cease wore was a skirmish, in vrhieh two or three oUthe " Takoot's" men were killed. The Takonr, on hearing of this, ordered his men to revenge themselves, ant they did so effectually, for, if reports be correct, scarcely a man of the 42nd escape& The 52nd at Jubbulporo are acting well, circumstances, and position may account fa: their good bAaiicaz, yet the result is satisfactory.
