.....--• , AND , A g o. GP. M. > of his ARRIVAL OF THE BOMBAY MAIL. We have received by special express in anticipation of tine Overland Mail, our despatches from Bombay, dated December 4. The following is the summary of the -41 )nboy Times of that date : THE RELIEF OF LIICKNOTY, In our last we mentioned the arrival of Grant's column at Cawnpore, on the 27th October. When crossi ng th e Ganges, they arrived at Alumbagh on the Ist November. It had now become known that Oatram and Havelock were not only holding their own, but were suffering comparatively little injury from the almost unceasing fire kept upon them by the enemy. They were provisioned for weeks, and as there was understood to be above one hundred thousand rebels in arms around, Sir Colin Campbell wisely resolved to delay his final attack until the force at his disposal should have assembled in sufficient strength to be irresiti- N. His Excellency and staff reached Cawnpore on the 3 rd, having, as formerly stated, narrowly escaped being captured by the enemy on the road. Although it was known in August that 30,000 men were on the way from England, the arrangements for pushing them on appear to have been deferred till close upon their arrival. To this source of detention, the teasing delays that followed are mainly ascribed. Troops were how mustering in strength at Cawnpore. On the 9th, t h e th, 53rd, 84th, and 93rd, with portions of other regi- Monte, crossed the Ganges, and were speedily followed by the Naval Brigade, who dragged their 24 guns along with them, as if they had been toys. Large supplies of pro 'Visions had by this time been sent into Alumbagh; and arrangements of all sorts were made with the caution required, and deliberation permitted by the occasion. Sir 'Colin Campbell left Cawnpore on the 11th, and rode forty miles at a stretch in the direction of Ll:Arnow. The lick and wounded, left by Havelock at Alumbagh, Were sent into his camp, with the view of returning to Cawnpore, under a guard of Sikh horsemen, an arrange runt that nearly proved fatal. As they approached the tritish camp, they were mistaken by the seamen of Peel's Naval Brigade for the advanced guard of the enemy, when the guns, loaded with grape, were levelled and about to be fired. Luckily, the face of the European surgeon was ?ecognised in time to prevent mischief, The Commander hi-Chief had with him a European Horse Battery, two troops of Horse Artillery, sixty Royal Artillerymen, With two 18-pounders and two 8-inch mortars ; 32 0 of the 9th Lancers, detachments of her k_ajesty's sth, Bth, 53rd, 75th, and 93rd. an d 6 00, of the Naval Brigade, or including the 900 j o i n i ng him from Alumbagh, above 3 000 Europeans in all ; besides !squadron of Sikhs and of Hodson's hors., 1,000 6ikh Infantry, Sappers and Miners, &c., or an additional 2,000 natives. On the 13th, he advanced to the banks of the canal, dispersing the rebels who approached him, and capturing all their guns. On the 15:h, the rebels, after a run n i ng fight of a c eiple of hours, were driven from the /ilkost i a and La Martiniere. Tney shortly after rallied, however, and made an attack on the British Position, when a severe repulse was su-tained by them. During these days, Lieutenant Mayne, Horse artillery, and Captain Wheatcroft, Carabine er s, were killed. We had chiefly depended on our artillery, wisely avoiding the needless exposure of our infantry to desperate men. On the 16th. the canal was crossed which separates 4 lumbagh from Lucknow, the Chief advancing on Secun derbagh, which was carried after a severe struggle, the eoetny suffering terribly. Having garrisoned each po sition as we advanced, the Samuch was attacked about three o'clock in the afternoon, and after a tremendous 'cannonade, was carried about dusk. Sir Colin Camp bell describes it as one of the most severe fights he had ever witnessed, and few men have seen more of hard fighting than he. Early on the kerning of the 17th, communicttions were opened to the left rear of the barracks towards he canal. A heavy ' l lnonade having been kept up all the morning on the b less house, that very strong position was carried by assault at three p m., when the troops, pushing on rapidly Were able to seize the Motee Mahal before dark. Sir Colin Campbell now approached the brave garrison, Who had been closely beset since the 25th of Septembe-, him. Generals Outram and Havelock came out to meet 'Hu- Although the enemy was not yet completely subdued, the communications with the rear were all re -opened, and the sick and wounded, the ladies and children, were despatched under escort to e _awnpore. Our loss, though considerable, was less so 4 n might have b. en looked for. Captain Herdley, Royal trtillery, C a ptain Dalzell, 93rd Highlanders, Captain t "Wien of the late 30th Bengal Native Infantry, attached 0 916 93rd, Lieutenant Frankland, 2nd nusjaub Infantry, , 11 / 4 1 ' 21 i Midshipman Damien, Naval Brigade, were killed. dirty -two officers were wounded—two dangerously, and eighteen severely. Our latest tidings extend only to the 21st, and have been supplied by electric telegraph alone, so as to be in the last degree Meagre and incomplete. On that date, two telegraph assistants were murdered at Alumbagh, and we 'must now wait for further intelligence. The routes from Cawnpore westward are still so interrupted, that the mails are in the last degree irregular, or we should before now have had full particulars by letter. It is more than Probable that tidings, considerably later than any we can at present give, will be forwarded for our London co teheporaries by the steams- this evening. There is much Yet to be done in Oude, but the Commander-in-Chief has n owa numerous force at his disposal ; and Lucknow 'sing relieved, can consult his own convenience in matter 111 time. We have ne longer any occasion for those headlong a nd deadly assaults, which, heroic and irresistible as t hey are, are accompanied with frightful sacrifice of life, Which greater caution, and the full use of our artillery, t as> avoid. The force in all now in Oude amounts to close Zit 12 000 men, c anis ing of the 9,h Lancers, the Naval B rigade, the Ist Madras Fusiliers, H.M.'s sth. Btb, 23rd, 32 nd, 53rd, 61tb, 75th, 78th, 82nd, 84th, and 90th Regts., B rigade, a magnificent park of Artillery, a portion of the Rifle rigade, Royal and Madras Sappers and Miners, the Sikh I nfantry and Cava ry—ably commanded and in the highest s tate of efficiency. ROHILCUND. The tidings from Rohilcund, sent home by the mail of t he 17th November, came down to the sth, and were in *ketieral very satisfactory. They continue of the same c omplexion, and extend a fortnight further on. In the . 1 ., 141 1 of October, Colonel Cotton's force, having captured tittebpore Sikree, a place thrice the S.Z3 of .!gza, reached iqiutia on the Ist of November. After a day's rest they ref . to as on the 3A, marching twenty miles on a stretch, by a town called Jiiet. The place was surrounded : I '3' cur cavalry, when the rebels were found to have "Camped several hours before. Pushing on be .9„1,(1 this a camelman was killed by the rebels in a , Wage close by, when they were immediately attacked and d iaper=ed, and the plan destroyed. On returning to Agra, ' 4O force was taken charge of by Colonel Riddell, who / 1 1 arched on the 14th, i n th e di r ection o f Allyghnr and olundshuhur, with the vier. of watching the movements c'f the r e bel chief Walleedad Kh an , w h o was encampe d / 1 1 th a large following on the left bank of th e G ang es. ' eze united with Major Eld's detachment, they w er e to , 13114 1 on to Mynpoorie, where the Rajah had been i ro nblesome. On the 17th they reached Seciudra Rao, on °a Grand Trunk road. Beyond this our information does 40t extend. On the 19th November the Allyghur detach baent, under Major Eld, moving up the Kutcha Ghaut, 114 finding a body of the Rohitcund insurgents, on the o pposite bank, opened fire on them, killing twenty-eight " I ld wounding thirty. SHOWERS' COLUMN. The accounts of the operations of Showers' column, ,! ( Ittained in our last, ex t en d e d t o the :31st of October, 'ben, having swept the country round, a little breathing B Pace was required at Kanoud. From this he returnod to svearee, where a subadar and com p an y o f the Guides Were in charge of the town. Showers next marched on 00 0rgaon, twenty miles from Delhi, where the main Co lumn halted. A detachment cf the Carabineers were ~ 'phi this sent off to Furrueknugger, where twenty rebel be en were taken and shot. They had hitherto 615 4 skirting the hills—they now entered them, and , k :, 4 esed through a range of valleys, flanked off each aide by ( 7, 6 vations from three to six hun , l2ed feet in height. The Cie" was to punish the Mar war mountain tribes, tr anetes of which ex t tn d in this direction a long way e'ra their customary h ome s. The villages were burned, and the rebels shot in all directions. They found the i ltl ifornas of European soldiers, of officers, and of Sepoys Profusion everywhere—proof sufficient of the share the '" ( rantaineers had taken in t h e revo lt. The column t i ti tlirned to Delhi on the oth. It started a.tain almost ene my for Meerut, en route to Bswar, where the 4614 3' were said to be mustering in et rengt h.

Col. Gerrard set. Our loss amount e d t o a b out 70 killed, amongst the number. DELHI. The doomed city, though no longer the 10. 11 ° of our anxieties, continues the centre o f ac ti v ity i n th e North • West. It is here, the chief scene of rebellion, when' the sternest vengeance might hive been looked for; and he, - e, unhappily, we find that mawkish humanity which every Englishman condemns, and every native ascribes to fear, most prevalent. It is said that the unwise orders of Mr. Colvin, issued when his once powerful mind was failing him, had never been cancelled, and that a timid dread of responsibility had disabled the local authorities from thinking for themselves, or rising to the occasion. The first manifestation of this was in sparing. the life of the King of Delhi, and the princes who were shot were CO dealt with to prevent a rescue, or they also might have been spared. The hoary royal traitor now occupies the palace, has a guard and retinue assigned to him, and insults the British officers who visit him. His youngest son, a lad of eighteen, has, on the grout d of his youth, been declared innocent, and traverses Delhi on an elephant of state, with a couple of English officers in his train. A military commission has meanwhile been sitting to obtain formal legal evidence against men caught in the fact. Twenty-four of the junior members of the royal family, having been convicted on evidence that might have satisfied a Chancellor Eldon, were on the 21st hanged all together ; and if we are to extinguish the mutiny, and convince the insurgents that we are not at all afraid of them, we must content ourselves occasionally with pre sumptive evidence, or strong moral proof. Your murderer seldom bungles his work so as to leave living witnesses to testify against him. they will fancy that we are weak and unable to punish; from what I saw on the 3rd, the enemy we have to deal with here is utterly to be despised away from their loop. holed walls and cover. I never saw large bodies of men absquotulate so sud , lenly in nay life ; like figures in a magic lantern, they are here, and in a moment vanish entirely. This is a good deal to be accounted for by the fact of tha greater part of the country being coyered:by high job , . et* crops, so high that an army can hide itself although close to you. The sugar cane kates are also splendid corer, and save hundreds of wretches from the sabres of our cavalry. Sir Cohn Campbell crossed the Ganges into Oude on the 9th ult. opposite Cawnpore, en rote for Lucknow, and arrived at Alumbagh on the 12,h. We had at the latter date about 9,000 fresh troops (Europeans), between Cawn pore and Lucknow, and in the latter place. The .Hurkeric of the 14th inst. says : A. letter from Cawnpore, dated 9th instant, informs us that the Commander-in-Chief had left for Lucknow at ten o'clock that morning, keeping his departure very quiet, and taki►ig with him half of the. 9.h Lancers and some Punjaub cavalry that had been left there for him. The force now in Oude, inclading those under General Havelock, amounted to about 9,000 men, of whom 2,000 0 were cavalry. The heavy guns under Captain Peel and the Jack Tars had gone on, and it was believed that Sir Colin Campbell intended giving our guns a chance at theirs this time, and saving his infantry as much as he could. This, no doubt, is the most prudent course that could be adopted. It was rumoured that in the street fight at Lucknow, the 90th L. I. had lost fourteen officers, including their commanding officer, Colonel Campbell. The Gwalior force was still believed to be hovering about the place, but it was hoped rather than feared that they would attack it. The 53rd and Tars had had a pretty sharp. affair on their way up from Allahabad. They attacked with about 600 men, a body of 5,000 rebels in a strong position. The latter stood and• cheered our men as they came on; they must have fought very well, as our loss was 100 killed and wounded; and though they are said to have lost 250, the great balk got away. It is believed that Sir Colin was not well pleased, fur he has since given orders that troops coning up are only to defend themselves, and not to go out of their way to attack rebels Officers who have recently arrived from England, find this very different from the Crimea, where they had no marching. We hear that news was received in Calcutta, yesterd,y, to the effect that all was ping on well at Lucknow. The Commander-in-Chief was shelling the city on two sides. Ile had enough artillery to pound the place to atoms, and sufficient cavalry to follow up any advantage. It was said to be Sir Colin's intention to maks the best use of these arms, and spare his infantry for close (planers. It is added that Sir Colin had communica ed several times with Sir James Outram,',who said he could hold out for some time, and advised his friend 3 not to begin work until they were strong enough to do it decisively. —Hurkaru, Nov. I€. The following intelligence from Oude has been supplied by the government of India to the press at Calcutta : --- From Cawnpore, Nov. 14, 8 P.M. €From General Windham to the Governer-General. News from the Commander in Chief's camp at Alum bagh. 9 a.m. of the 13th; after several skirmishes in the day, ending in the capture of two guns, the fort of Jullalabad was taken and blown up. Tho Commander in Chief has communicated with Sir James Outram. From Cawnpore, 16th Nov , 11 . A.M. From Captain Bruce, by order of his Excellency the ;Commander in Chief, to the Governor-General. The. Commander in Chief occupied the Dilkhoosah and the Martiniere, after a ruuning fight of two hours yesterday, at noon. The enemy came forward to attack at 3 p.m. After a struggle of an hour he was beaten back, repulsed heavily. An advanced • picquet having cleared some villages across the canal, we took post there for the night. Our loss was trifling—Lieutenant Mayne, Horse Artillery, Qaarter Master General's Thipartment, and Lieutenant Wheatcroft, Carabineers, killed. From Alumbagh, November 17, 9 A.M. From Major Sibley to the Secretary to Government. The Commander in Chief in Lucknow ; heavy cannonade in the direction of the palaces. Dilkhoosah and Martiaiere occupied by our troops. Many of our readers may not understand the purport of the above despatch from Government about the cannona ding in the direction of the palaces ; the object of the cannonading may in consequence be quite unintelligible to them. Being however, well acquainted with Lucknow, we ( frurkara) are enabled to explain that the palaces consist of a grouj of buildings called the Mahal'', or the residences of Wajid Ali Shah's 300 wives These palaces stand tetween the Dil Khoosa (Heart's Delight) and the Martiniere, at present in the occupation of Sir Colin Campbell, and the Ballyguard, or Residency, in the occu pation of Sir James Outram, is thus placed between two fires, and hat to be driven from the Mahals, after which the force under Sir Colin Campbell will join that of Sir J. Outram. Though these palaces are an extensive structure of brick walls and houses, they are of very weak construc tion, and would soon crumble under a cannonade of shell and round shot. From Maih,:ran, from Lord Elphinstone, Tuesday, Dec. 1, 1857, 9 35 a.m. _ _ The following message was received this morning from Lord Harris at Madras, dated Nov. Alma arrived yesterday from Calcutta. Severe fighting from 15th to 19th November. Sir Colin Campbell had taken most of the important fortified posts in the town. Great slaughter of the rebels, but they had not yet been entirely beaten. Sir Colin Campbell slightly wounded. The British forces were united. The women and children from the Residency were ea route to Cavvnpore. The 93rd Highlanders and the Naval Brigade had suffered s3verely. Gwalior Mutineers at Calpee, and General Wyndham supposed to have left Cawupore to attack them. J. J. ST. CLAIR, Inspector in Charge.

Head Quarters, Secunderbagh, Lucknow, November 18, 1857. On the 161 the Commander-in-Chief advanced across the canal straight on Secunderbagh, which was carried after a severe struggle, the enemy suffering enormously. These positions having been occupied, the Samuch was attacked with heavy artillery for three hours. It was carried at dusk, after ono of the severest fights ever witnessed. Early on the 17th, communications were opened to the left rear of the barrack., towards the canal. A cannonade having been kept up all the morning in the Mess house, that very strong position was carried by assault at :3 p.m. The troops pushed rapidly on after carrying the Mess house, aid were able to seize the Motee Mahal before dark. Sir James Outram and Sir Henry Havelock then came out to meet the Commander-in-Chief. The Commander-in-Chiefs wonod is vary slight, and does not interfere with his duty.

In addition to the facts that appeared in our paper of yestereata the following additional evidene was given. The prosecution seas carrie on by Mr. Clough, and Mr. Block Wel for the prisoner. The inspector said he assisted in arresting the prisoner' in a cellar in Rupert street on Saturday night, on a charge of having killed John Leonard, iu Blake-streen Saw Leonard dead. Cross. examined by Mr. Busk: I did not see anything take place. All I know is that a certain man named Leonard is dead. That's all I know. Mr. John Chime!' examined : lam a pub jean, and my house is at the corner of Blake street, Copperas-hill. I recollect Saturday evening, and I remember the prisener coming to my house on Saturday evening. Wil iam and John Leonard were there then. William is here now ; John is dead. John Coeles was there also ; Thomas Menders was there also. Cerles' wife was there likewise. There was a tailor, whose name I do not know, who was tipsy. The prisoner was robe-. The tailor was sitting down and talking to hirnawf. Conies was going to interfere with him, when John Leonard interfer.d to prevent him They all went out after that. The prisoner did not go out in the same door as Leonard. They had no quarrel in my beer*. I did not go out to the door after that, nor did I see them again. Mr 131 - ark : Then you know nothing about it? Nothing Mr. Bluek Did you see any one killed ? No, but Corlee wanted to fight with "Minim Leonard ; that's all I know About it. William Leonard examined : I lire in Hothana-streee`. back of the Bridewell. I was at the public house of last witness on Saturday evening.

The landlord put him out, and the prisoner and woman went out with them ; my broth©r and I went out in the door into Blake-street. I saw Cerles, the s.rst man. waitine fir me. sted wa had two or three blows, as he esleed ii I was ready for him, I said I was. A crowd collected, and Cerles wont away then. I saw the prisone r j us t then, when he come op to the front of me, and hit me across the eye. EY brother wee alongside of me, and he said " hold on ; not two of you ;•'• and d you are a biggeeman (to the prisoner), and perhaps I can do something with you." Tne prisoner hit my brother under the jaw with his fist. He ?;;pocked him down - stiff. As soon as he got him down. he jamped on top of him, but I don't know on what part of his body. He then canoe back to me and said; " thee's the way to kill men. I only saw the one jenip. The prisoner sail, "That's the way to kill men, and auch - as you." I did not hear my brother say a word - after he• was struck on the jaw, I saw my brother lying- and the. people round him. and a doctor came and said, "Take hits home, as he is done." fought with the prisoner after my brother was knocked down. Some' one said, " Toe police are coming," and then the pris•ner got away. add I did not see him after. i saw my brother's body in three. minutes after, in his owreplaee, in Dance-street. He was 25 years of age, and married. He eves very healthy. Cross-examined by Mr. Bluele : The prisoner and I had blo Ks before and after my b. other was knocked down No one else struck my brother but the prisoner. It was dark, and a good many persons were present. lam sure he struck my brother, but I don't know where ho put his feet on his body I did not think try brother was hurt then; Ellen Graham, of I Court, Silver-street, said e I was passing the place at the time, before six on Saturday evening ; saw a row, and men fighting. I saw the prisoner knock a man down, and then I went away, as a crowd ceilected- I latent them say the man was killed. I saw the deceased that night, and he is the same men I saw the prisoner knock down. To Mr. Black : I did not know any of them. There was a regular row, and if any one said there was not, it would not be true. I can't tell where the prisoner struck the man I could not point out the deceased if he were alive and in court now. Mr. muck : How could you tel he was the same man then that you saw dead? I saw him carried away, but I could not fitly positively if he is the same man. William Wilson said, lam a tailor, and live at 3U, Copperas hill. On Saturday evening I saw the fight. I arm not the drunken tailor alln ted to by other witnesses. I saw eeeased stand up to fight the prisoner, and Paw the latter knock him down. The prisoner et:uck him on the face and ribs. The deceased fell fiat on his back. I then saw the prisoner jump on the deceased's abdomen rr stomach, and as he was about to rise, the prisoner kicked him again, as far as I could see, about the neek or throat. Mr. Clough asked the prisoner to take off his boot. Mr. Bluek Tongly objected unless a reason were given. The bride well keeper handed the boot to Mr. Clough, when Mr Bluck agai❑ objected. Mr. Clough asked the witness if the boot was the same as the prisoner had on at the time, and he said it was like the boot the prisoner had on at the time. (The blot was a strong heavy one, such as worn by certors ) The witness said, I saw the prisoner kick the decea , ed when he was attempting to rise. I thought he had killed the man, and I shelve t out "You have killed the man." The deceased twisted his body violently, and fell over on his face, with his arms extended. My girl went for the to - dice The deceased did not speak after. I did not lose sight of the body, and went with Dr. Lodge to where the deceased lived. Cross-examined by Mr. Bluck : I saw the first of the disturbance. All seemed tipsy, and I don't think they can recollect what happened. To Mr. Clough : lam sure the prisoner struck deceased first. John English, a respectable looking youth, who said he lived in Hawke street, said : I saw the fight, but was not present at the first. Saw the prisoner strike a man twice—once un ler the right jaw, and then in the ribs. He knocked the man down, and then jumped on him with one foot, saying, " That's the road to kill a man." I ran for a policeman and got 225, and went with him to stables in Rupert -street, and then into an adjoining cellar, where the prisoner was arrested. Cross examined by Mr Bluck : The deceased fell on his hands and face, when kn ,eked down at first. Police-officer 225, (John Rigby), said, about ten minutes past six o'clock, on Saturday evening, he heard that a man had been kicked to death, and he arrested the prisoner, as described. The prisoner said, "If the ease is properly investigated, I am innocent of the charge." Dr. Lodge. of Seymour-street, said : I saw the fight between the prisoner and deceased. I ordered him to be taken home, and when he got there he was dead. I c innot, wtthont a post inor!em examina tion, form the least idea of the cause of death. Mr Clough asked for a remand, and it was granted to Wed nesday. THE COM NS ERMA', CRISIS AT WARSA vr.—A Warsaw letter of the 17th, in the Cologne Ga.~ette, says :—" A dozen firms have suspend-+d paymelt here, and great uneasiners prevails, as it is thought that the commzrcial crisis will extend to Russia."

We have no lees than 23 detachments of different corps between this and Lucknow, numbering in all about 7,800 of all ranks ; and 2,000 bayonets are also expected in to-morrow from the lower provinces, the 27th Madras Native Infantry forming a part. Troops, from two to three hundred, arrive from Allahabad in three days, forty miles of the road being accomplished by rail—which occupies abont three and agialf hours—and the remain der by bullock train. Communication with Delhi via Agra has been open for some days, and these two stations are reported quiet. The Goorkahs, it is said, are creating great havoc amongst the rebels in the districts adjacent to Banares. Nt.t many days since, sixteen hundred of the former, led on by three European officers, engaged some 2,500 of the latter, and made them take to their heels. This is great sport for these native Highlanders, as they are facetiously termed by us ; they are certainly a fime body of man, well fitted and proportioned for the work they are now at with so willing eheart.

We gave in our last tidings of the outbreak at Mehid poor, in which Captain Mills and Dr. Carey were slain on the rising of part of the contingent. Brigadier Stuart's column was then moving rapidly in this direction. On the 11th the cavalry, under Major Orr, occupied Mehidpoor, the rebels having left the previous day. On the 12th he marched out with 337 men of the Ist, 3rd, and 4th Hyderabad Cavalry, and overtook the insurgents, to the number of about 500, with two guns, at Rewal, whore they had resolved to make a stand. They were immediately attacked and dispersed by our, cavalry, who cut up above a hundred of them, two nine-pounder guns, with a large number of carts loaded with ordnance stores, being cap tured. In the course of the pursuit, the enemy abandoned the three guns they had captured at Mehidpoor, with two others of large calibre they had taken at Burnaggur. Oar casualties were inconsiderable : Lieutenant Samuells was dangerously wounded, and Captains Murray and Clarke had their horses shot under them. The enemy were dispersed in all directions; seventy-six prisoners were taken, and tried four days afterwards by drumhead court-martial at Mehidpoor, and shot, as having been found in the field against us On the 11th part of the force crossed the Chumbul and encamped on the other side, two marches from Mundesore. Some 8,000 rebels were said to have taken up a position in this neighbour hood. On the 21st the enealy attacked our left front and threa'ened our right. They were driven into Mundesore with heavy loss. The cavalry pursued Hegira Singh, with his horsemen, and drove them into a village about ten miles from Mundesoce, on the Neemuch road, where the rebel force appeared in strength, and showed its standards. On the 23rd Stuart's main column marched in this direction, and found the enemy advancing to meet them. They took up a position, with the strong village of Go vareea in their centre, overlapping very considerably both our flanks. The guns on their left centre having been silenced by our artillery, were capture 1 by her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons. They were now driven front their principal position with heavy loss, a body of them not the less continuing obsti nately to maintain a portion of the village. While engaged in front, the garrison of Mundesore sallied out and attacked our rear, but were repulsed by the rear•gaard. On the 24:h the rebels abandoned Mundesore in the course of the night, and retired on Nagurh, in the direction of Ram poora. Tho casualties of the four days were—Lieutenant Redmayne, 14th Light Dragoons, killed ; and eight rank and file wounded. Lieutenant James severely wounded in the arm; Lieutenant Martin. severely wounded in the leg ; Lieutenant Prendergast, slightly wounded, and four other officers slightly. Sixty-eight rank and fi'e of other corps were killed and wounded. NEE'MIIC II One of the centres of disturbance for many months past has been Neemuch, a town in the G walior territory, with a British cantonment, on the north-west border of Malwa. The post, though not large, is one of mach importance, and has from time to time bees ocaupied by Bombay and Bengal troops alternately, occasionally by both together. Of late it has been lightly garrisoned, and long and heavily beset by danger from without, In the beginning of the month from 2 000 to 3 000 insurgents had mustered under the walls, with a view of attacking the fort, at this time unusually weak in troops Th e garr i son , w i t h t h e excep tion of the cavalry, wore completely besieged, and com pelled to abandon the cantonments au fortify themselves in the square. They had fortunately a sufficiency of provisions, held well together, and experienced no appre hension of their position—often half the battle in cases of siege. The fire of the enemy did them little harm, while few of our shots were thrown away; strange to tell, our own former cantonments afforded the principal shelter for the insurgents. On the 21st the Mundesore rebels attempted to escalade the place, but were beaten off with such heavy loss that they withdrew altogether on the following day. During the fortnight's siege, two European officers and four Seppys had been wounded, none of thorn severely—the 12th Bombay Native Infantry in particular conducted themselves nobly. On the 22n1 the rebels were attacked and defeated by Stuart's column, driven from point to point, with the loss of all their guns, and the neighbourhood effectually relieved of the annoyance of their presence.

The Delhi Gazetle --- ;ntains the following extract of a letter frem Brigadier Hope Grant's camp : Camp, 6 miles from Alnrnbagh, Nov, 3, 1837. We had our first fight in Oude yesterday, but it was the mildest affair that has taken place since we left Delhi. We marched from our last ground at 7 o'clock, with the intention of encamping on a large plain 1 mile nearer Lucknow, there to await Sir Colin Campbell. We had not gone a mile before our advanced guard was fired upon by the enemy, who had taken tip a position in a large village near the road. Wo were soon in the thickest of it, and were not long in turning our friends the Mattadeens out of their position, after which we could not persuade them to come wiyhin musket shot. It was with great difficulty our cavalry managed to come up with their rear. We ba gge d upwar d s o f 100 o f th em i n the village, and afterwards took the only two guns they had. Our logs amounted to 1 killed and about 10 wounded. Some of the 44th Native Infantry men were killed fighting against:us, and actually had their leave certificates on them. We have taught the Zemiudars, a number of whom were opposed to us yesterday, a lesson they are not likely to forget in a hurry. Every village for miles round has been burnt to the ground, and the whole country seems as if it was on fire. After pursuing the fugitives to within two miles of Alumba.,,h, we retired to this place. Sir Colin is expected out to-day, and if he arrives we shall probably move on to Alumbagh to-morrow morning. We can hear the Lucknow guns quite distinctly. There has been very heavy firing there this morning. The men of the Punjaub regiments are delighted with the 93rd Highlanders, who are certainly splendid men, and always march in their kilts and bonnets. The Punjabees call them Tape wallas," and the " Tamasha ka Pultun." tTo eh y a v a e d ' B ir a e ia th h e li tg i p t i . pea more than anything, and want The fillowieg is from a correspondent of the Hurkarzt, with the relieving force in Oude.— Camp about 12 miles from Lucknow, 4th November.— We have been encamped here for three days, waiting for Sir Colin, who is expected in camp to-day. We have hitherto met with no opposition, though our movements are most narrowly watched by the evaporating enemy. On the 3rd they expected us to march, as we always do, at. four or three in the morning, and had filled a village on the road with infantry, intending, it is sup posed, to allow our columns to pass, and then to attack and to loot our luggage. As luck would have it, an order came which caused us to break up our camp and march at daylight, so we disappointed our friends, and instead of plundering, as they expected, they were killed and burnt out themselves. - Yesterday some sixteen villages were burnt round our ca mp. We have never done this where unopposed, but opposition rules the men, and incendiarisas is a sure con sequence. Now we are in Oude we can scarcely make a mistake. The whole country is risen, undee their chiefs, against us üßlesd woshow that to bq a losing game, poLio: 4 ; INTELLIGENCE—YESTIMDAY. LIVERPOOL. Emma HR a. AMIN.
