Extract of a letter from CawlipQre, dated July 19 : IntelFgeece came in late last night that the Bitonr Rajah had destroyed himself in despair, that the Sepoye had all fled towards Delhi, and that B;toar was evacuated. This morn:ng the news is e_ mfirmed as actually true, and a detached force of li Mulres Fusiliers, Sikhs, and two guns, are gone out' to take possession of the. place. The whole face is now rested and in high spirits, feels that its hard marching and fighting has not been for nothinr, and four days hence I hope we shall be in Luck now triumphant. The aceounts men give of the state of cantonments are fearful. They have visited the house where our women were murdered. That house and welt are described by men of not weak nerves as the most fearful sickening sight they ever saw. Four wetness are saved, Mrs. Greenway, wife of a merchant, aad three half castes. Extract of a letter, da, , ;ed Cawnpore, 17th July-- We fought our wa i int, this place yesterday, and a ver hard day we bad of it. We lett our encampment at Nun doonuddy at 3 a•m., halted for breakfast about 10 a.m. in a top?, after a march of 13 miles, and again moved on at 2.30 p.m. in search of the enemy, who were reportel to be at no great distance. It had been ascertained that the insurgents had their guns iu position at the point where the Delhi road diver g es from the road leading to the station of Cawnpore. Gen.ral Havelock, by a movement acron c untry, took the enemy on their flank, but they served their guns well nevertheless. It was the good for tune of the Highlanders to take three of the guns ; the regi ment advanced inline right at them, and charred up to them. Tne General gave the men influite praise. You can form no idea of the hordes we had to encounter—lnfantry and cavalry—their numbers are beyond calculation, for they were here, there, and everywhere. Notwithstanding the heavy fire which the Highlanders encountered, mar vellous to say, not an ofiller was wounded ; oir loss was only two men killed, and 12 or 13 wounded. Where we fa , l is in our want of cavalry. Two squadrons of dragoons with us yesterday, and nova man would have escaped. The naives here tell us that the last of the European ladies and women, were put to death two days ago (15th); the horrors and tortures they endured are beyond utter ance. Such brutality makes one's blood run cold. Please God, we may meet the ruffians, and give them their just due. The 73th is encamped on the parade ground, in front of the cavalry barracks. The following is from an officer with General Havelock's force, dated Cawnpore, July 17 : You will sea from the heading of this letter that we have arrived at Cawnpore, but, alas ! a fortnight too late to save our countrymen and women. They say that the women w.ci children ware shut and oat up only two or three days ago. 1 have bad a look at the barracks in which the unfortu nate people were entrenobed • they consist of a couple of oblong buildings; in one of ;hem the roof is completely fallen in, and bolt are battered with round shot. The verandahs as we'l as the walls have been torn up by the shot, and round the buildings are some pits dug in the ground and breastwork. The ground inside and out is strewed with broken bottles, old shoes, pieces of chairs, and quantities of books and letters and other documents. It was a melancholy sigh', and the suffering must have been more than humanity conld bear. Yesterday afternoon we fought a hard battle, forging a strong intrenched positiln about four miles to tlit east of cantonments. We made a flank movement to - the right, then advanced in a zigzag manner, and then parallel to our old front thus. We marched 24 miles, and fought about four hours—of course at the end of the fight we bivouicked on the plain, and the night passed over but with one alarm. The Volunteers charged the enemy, cat up 10 or 12 of tham, and lost one officer and two horses. The grape shot, bullets, and round shot fell in showers around me, but, by God's blessing, I came out of action all safe. We hays now fought the enemy four times, twice in one day, and taken 24 guns. Their practice, esp'cially with a 24-pounder, was very good, and their position skilfully chosen ; one ball took our lines in tlink, a-d cut down eight or ten of the 64th like grass before the scythe. We are at present encamped on the parade ground, and, no:withstasding our loss in killed an; wounded, we still look formidable. The steamers will, I hops, be hero to-morrow, and give U 3 an additional 100 meu. I have no time to writs more at present. Extract of letter dated July 17th : This force in eight days his marched 126 miles, fought four actions, and taken 24 guns, light and heavy, and that too in the month of July in India. We m ached on the, 16 . . h, and then learned that the enemy had come out fro _a Ca wnpore to mike their last stand at the place where the grand trunk road forks to Cawnpore and DAM; that they had there entrenched themselves in a very 'strong position, with heavy guns in front and I mks, to sweep the road, and that all the force, up wards of 4,000 men, had turned out to make their last stand. Si it was determined to try and turn their flank. Ac cordingly we struck off the road at an angle, and then turned down towards them again. We bivouacked under the trees, and started at 14- p in. The heat was fearful. Many man dropped from the tffeats of the sun. At last the enemy caught sight, and op •nod a very heavy and well-directed fire of us, which we had to pass till we got to the turning point. 'Ten we moved down in line upon them, and opened fire upon their guns, which were in a very strong position is a village. We silenced two with our arti lery, but all we could do we couldn't get at the third heavy gun, it was so well ranked. The 781 west) ordered to charge and t ,ke the gun. I never saw anything so fine. The men went on, with sloped arms, liko a wall; till within a hundred yards not a shot was fired. At the word " Charge," they broke just like an eager pack of hounds, and the village was taken in an instant. I was up almost as• soon as they, and one man told me, with a grin, he had just killed three men out of sue house. The enemy were now in retreat, for we had turned their position, but the fight was still hard, for their cavalry came round down upon our rear, and the guns had to be halted and opened on them. After that we got so far forward towards Cawn pore that, without kneeing it, one of their heavy guns in position was passed, and they maimed to slew it round acd open fire on our rear. So we had to turn, and go bock and take it. This was done by the 64th. In feet it was, in point of heavy fire and fatigue, a very hard fight, but the end was that we took eight guns in all and utterly routed the enemy, who evacuated Cawnpore during the night and blew up the arsenal and magazine. We bivoucked on the field, with little bed and supper, and marched into Cawupore this merniog, where we hold a potitim—the barracks. All the force is knocked up, and must rest a day. Alas, alas! all the women and children were murdered by these devils ye3terday, when the fou3d the day going against them,—their bodies were thrown into the Ganges. THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1857. slid followers, have been brought in by the villagers and by the local officials in the territories o! Gholab Singh. There has been no other or further outbreak in the Punjanb. The country north and west of Delhi se , ms for the most Inv qoist, General Van Co•tlandt's force still doing good servica in its re-settlement. Agra has remained unmolested since the affair of the 51 ult. but the Ch. is:len residents are still occupying the fort, which is will provisioned for at least six months. As mentioned in oar last despatch, Cawnpora was re occupied on the 171 ult, by the forte under B General Havelock. There now, we are sorry to say, rem Ling no room to doubt that the most fearful stories of fiendish cruelties perpetrated there by the ruffian Nena Sahib are entirely true. We shriek from their repetition, and seek oily to prepare the reader for the horrible particulars, rather hinte 1 than narrated in subsequent columns. However, vengeance has already begun. Bithoor, the den of this hyena, Ins been destroyed, and its owner—who in his dastardly flight illustrated the truth that the cruel are generally cawards—is a fugitive, deserted by the agents of his unutterable brualities. There is a report that he has drowned himself and his family in the Ganges, but it requires confirmation, ant the general hope is that the miscreant is reserved for a doom more adequate to his crimes. Having disposed fer the present of this savage and his followers, General Havelock crossed the Ganges, en rotde for Lecknow, to relieve the garrison thero, leaving Brigadier-Gen sal Neill in command of a force at Cawu pore. On the 291 the advancing army met the enemy, 10,000 strong, on the road to Luckeow, and put them to flight, capturing 15 zone. 0 a the following day Havelock would be at Lucknow, where the brave British garrison still maintained its position, in good heart, notwithstand ing the loss of its illustrious chief, Sir Henry Lawrence. This truly great man died on the 4th of July, from the effects of a wound in the foot, received during one of hi sorties against the mutineers and rebels. On his death Major Ba.nks took come - nevi of the place. We regret to have to announce the death of Major Renaud, of the let Madras Fusilears, who sank under the effects of a wound in the leg, followed by arnputa'ion. He is the only officer yet lost by Havelock's force, so far as we know here. Luckeow and Oude will be abandoned for the present, the small force there retiring with that of General Havelock, and proceeding with it towards Delhi. The advancing army will be rapidly strengthened by the detachments which were hasteeing up from Calcutta. We cannot at present report that all was quiet in its rear, for intelligence has just been received here that the 7th, 80, and 40th Regiments of Native Infantry, stationed at Dinapore, after having so long remained to all appearance faithful, have at last c ught the infectious madness, and broken into mutiny. They fled towards the Soane River, and, being unable to cross it, were shut up in a corner when overtaken by H.M. 10th Regiment, under General, Lloyd, and routed with the loss of 800 killed. This out break carries the revolt further cast than it had before extended, and will probably be attended with some trouble in the unquiet Matipmedan city of Patna. The mutiny of these infatuated regiments is the only one we have to record as having occurred in the Bengal army lately, but in feed there are so few corps remaining in arms and trusted, that mutiny is now scarcely possible. Th'ere areonly about seven regiments of the line remaining , cut of the whole seventy-four. We hear of some, however, that are still doing good and honourable service ; as, for example, the 31st Native Infantry at Saugor, which, under its native officers only, drove the mutineers of the 42nd out of the station. The same regiment, with that part of the 43rd which remained staunch or returned to its allegiance, and the 3 d Irregular Cavalry, is now acting effectually against the petty Boondela chiefs who have risen for inde penderice or for plunders Reinforcements continue to drop in. A wing of Her MPjes'y's 29'..h Regiment arrived at Calgutta from Bu tm da on the 24th ult. A wing of Her 1 11,jesty's 333, avid e comp tny of Royal Artillery from Mauritin', ar rived here on the 6th inst. Other troona are expected from Singapore (part of the China expedition), and the Cape of Good Hope. The 17th and 27th regiments of k.ladras Native Infantry have embarked for Calcutta. Measures are being adopted to increase and streng!hen the military force of the country generally. Three extra regiments of Native Infantry are being raised in the Madras Presidency. The Native Infantry regiments of Bombay are being strengthened, and three additional companies of European Artillery are being r tised. In Bengal itself a corps of Yeo manry Cavalry is to be formed from those Kuropeani not in the C map toy's service, whom the preFent troubles hare thrown out of employment, or who may desire to aid in the restoration of. trancitillity. The appointment of second in command has been bestowed on Mr. F. C. Chapman as a reward for his distinguished services as a voluateer in the mrttl-west. There was a mild "panic" in Bombay en the night of the 31st ult., keeping many pairs of bright eyes spen to untimely h Ars. 'We heard of families tain i „ e v refuge in the For, and others going on board ship for safe•y in case of a disturb thee. Maey perons. we believe, kept watch ..ott w.tra throughout the Hight In tow own homes, or those of friends and neighbours. Everythilg, however, continued profoundly quiet. The left wing of the second E tropan Regiment, con sisting of five companies, ariived here on the night of the Ist inst.. from Kurrachee, by the llon. Con2pan)'s steamer Berenice; and after having landed their families (who, we hear, are accommodated in the barracks at Celaba) they were ready to proceed to Goa and Vizia droog in two steamers. The first potion, consisting of two companies, have gone by the Berenice to Vizia droog, and the second portion, of three companies, pro ceeded to Goa by the steamer Victoria. We are rather, sorry to find that Bombay is not to have the benefit of this reinforcement, for we believe that it would have tended more than anything to restore public confidence, which, as it would be useless to deLy, has been considerably shaken of late, and even the tranquillity with which the Buckr-Eed passed over, has not braced up to a calm contemplation of the approaching Mo hurrum. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Pot tinger arrived here on the 6th inst., with a wing of Her Majesty's 33rd Regiment of Infantry eke Duke of Wel. lington's Own) from Mauritius ;. and in the afternoon the ship Coming brought in another company of the same distinguished corps, together with a detachment of Boyal Artillery, also flan Mouthing. Tee head-quarters wing of the 33:d, the one knit arrived, numbers 20 officers and 497 men. It is under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Johnstone, C.P. These troops have been brought upon the strength of the garrison, and been quartered in Fort George barracks. We believe they will remain in Bombay should their ser vices not be very specially required elsewhere, and we trust that they will not be removed from the island for some time to come. There are few plades in the Presidency where their presence is more necessary than it is -here. Let us hope that the community is net doomed again to experience that feeling of bitter disappointment with which it has seen the forces needed for the preservation of public confidencn, if not of the public peace, sent away as feet as they arrived, leaving this large city, and the mt interests which it represents, with far lees of military protection in these days of trouble and excitement than was thought needful for it in times of the lnost pcofoun I tran quility. We understand that a'eonsiderable addition is to be made to the numerical strength of the European police of Bombay. Besides Mr. Forjett's newly formed ---1 cayslry— Horse Marines most of them we believe company 01 foot, about 100 strong, is to be raised immediately. Ws hear, also, that it is likely a volunteer corps for Bombay will shortly be formed under the sanction of Go vernment. There is, or perhaps we should say has been, a little ex citement at Poona, in consequence of the doings an ! con trivances of a cs.rtain Moulvie there. This gentleman, who is said to'be the Some high priest of the Bajai Misque in cantonments has been arrested on a charge of holding treasonable correspondence with the Cazee of Belgaum, according to one account, and v.ith somebody at Hy4erabad according to another. Of course the object was to get up a revolt and massac e in one or two place.. The fellow was kept prisoner in the quarter guard of her Majesty's 86th, and under the care of that regiment, from whence he was afterwards removed to the fort at Twine. On tha 7th inst. he was conveyed to Bombay in charge of the po'ice, and sent on board the Aebar, whose " wooden walls," manned by British sailors, will hold him in perfect security against all such little accidents as might occur in a Mofussil gaol, to deprive his custodians of the pleasure of his society. It is said that the postmaster of Poonah was the drat to suspect this holy traitor, and that he did so from the unusual circums ante of a personage of such digni y con descending to post and receive his own 1, tterr. Here, in Bombay, the feeling of anxiety and alarm seems to have subsided considerably sicce the arrival of the wing of her Majesty's 33rd and the company of Royal Artillery. At present the only ground of apprehension is, that these wholesome reinforcements may be fritted away in the Mofuseil or shipped wholesale to the continent, leaving us again to our unorganised resources at a time of increased excitement. if not of increased peril. Already it has been found necessa.y to senl away the last lingering remains of the 86 b, and we believe that a company of the 33rd goes down the coast in the Bernice immeclia'ely. The Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay army, has directed the o ganisation of three additional companies of European artillery, with light field batteries attached. They are to be designated the Ist, 2d, and 33 Companies of Reserve Artillery, with Nos, 14, 18, and 19 field batteries, sad are to be comatmded respectively by Captains Wagnor, Kemball, and Gaye. A letter from Jubbulpore, dated the rat% ult. says : " All right here. We have occupied and fortified the Residency as a temporary and precautionary measure, but we do not anticipate that we shall be called upon to show that E iglishmen can fight; The Sepoys of the regiment (52.1 Native Infantry) are very quiet, and, as far as we can julge,,not inclined to mutiny. Same of the neighbouring Thakoors, ho - .vevar, have rises, and three detachments have been sent against them, in a few days a large force is going ott. "It has been re:iorted that we are prisoners, and brought to great straits. Neither one nor the other is the case. We feel so strong in our small garrison that we fear neither sepoys nor Boendelas, an.] are in first-rate spirits. . _ "Ail the troops in the Sanger division are cola. At Siugor the 42nd Native Infantry mutinied, but the 31st Native Infan ry drove them out of the cantonments.

A later letter, dated the 23rd ult., mentions that all still continue i quiet and secure at Subbulpore Another letter Jubbalpore, dated the 31st tilt , says : "We are all right here. The 41h Madras Cavalry arrivel yesterday, and the infantry and artillery come in to-morrow morning. All the troops in the division are behaving light well. At Saugor the 31st and 421 d Native Infantry, and. the 3rd Irregular Cavalry have been euceesful against tne Boondelas on several occisione. On the 23th iestaut a force of 1,000 men a:tacked Dumoh, bat were met by detachments from the three regiments above mentioned. and were driven back with the less of 31 kiiled and 17 taken prisoners. The latter were distr.:Bed of that same evening. After the rout the Irregular Cavalry followed them, and cut up several more. Nothing could exceed the eagerness of the Sepoys, and the cavalry behaved splendidly. Three detachments from the 521 Native Infantry have been sent out against the Boondelas, but these do net s em inclined to face our men, who are all delighted at the idea of fighting. A fort was occupied by 500 Baonlelm ; and a company fcorn the 52 t, under two lieutenants, will a company of the 50th N.ttive Infantry from Nagede, was sent against it. The result was that the Boondelas evacuated the fort and decamped, although it was quite stroeg enough to hold out if they had any pluck. I cannot help thinking that the Boondelas calculated upon our Sepoys joining them. or at least standing neutral ; het now they see them on our side they will speedily settle back into peaceful culti vators. The 65th Native Infantry are doing good service in the direction of Gareekpore and Az'nurh. The following is from a correspondent in the camp before Delhi— " CAMP, DELHI. July 18, 1857.—The rebels are out to-day, and skirmishing to the right. They will be driven back as usual. General Wneelar ii at Agra, where he will remain, sending on two regiments to us.

Lis gratifying to learn that the forcee at Delhi could " easily hold its owe, until the troops from behw cArne up," al we trust it could do, even if the expected re.ziments from Agra did not duly arrive. The ',Walk, however, has expected to hear something more than this, and will hardly be satisfied with profe.i so moderate. Trio aspect of affairs at Delhi is, nevertheless, more cheering than many in the3e parts seem to consider Small as the besieging force may be, it has on every occasion, in no less than 22 engagements, proved that it was more than a match for the whole" strength which the mutineers, traitors fighting for bare life, could bring egainst it. Its last and greatest loss, as we see, aroso from its own eagerness in pursuit of the flying garrison, bringing it under fire of grape and musketry from the walls. Provisions, it will be observed, were plentiful and cheap, indica•ing the confidence of the surrounding popu lation. The supplies of ammunition &c. were unlimited, anti the troops in good health to use them. Substantial and sufficient reinforcements cannot now be mach longer delayed. General Havelock's victorious force having disposed of the ruffian Nena Sahib, and relieved Lucknow, will of course push on for Delhi, the road to which appears to be quite open. Troops fro'D below would rapidly occupy its place at Allahabad, Cawnpore, &ra., and thus opera tions in advance would proceed upon a solid and safe base, daily gaining strength and firmness.

He is an officer of the Beiagal Artillery. as is also General Gowan, who is now in chief command of the Upper Provinces. The Poona Observer records fresh rumours:of the capture of l)elhi, hich, with him, we think are premature. He also mentions a report, to thexffect that the mutineers had moved out en masse to a song position on the north aide of the city. A position en the north side of Delhi must be in very close proximity to our troops, or very far away from the place, an alternative which the mutineers would, we think, avoid. The rumours referred to are said to have been eirculated in Pooua on the authority of a letter from Ajmere. We learn shatsintelllgence wrs roceived on the 4th inst. from Surat of a detachment of el men of Her Majesty's 86th Regiment having marched to Baroda. We greatly regret to see it mentioned in the Lahore Chronic e of the 22nd ult. that Brigadier Frederica' Brind, of the 13;ngal Artillery, oommandiug at Sealkote,had died of t:e wound which he received during the recent mutiny the-e. It is stated 'that the Brigadier's khansamah, or butler, was the chief artilleryman of the mutineers, and it is thought probable that it was he who inflicted the fatal wound on his unfortuoate master. This man was a Hin doostanee, and probably an old soldier in the Artillery tinier the Brigadier's command. The Hindoostanees, who seem to have been unn•cessarily employed in both üblic and private service at Sealkote, are reported to have generally aided and abetted tl.e mutineers ; and Mr. Montgomery, the Judicial Commissioner, has, in conse quence, directed that in future no Hindoostanee shall be entertained in his department throughout the Punjaub, without special sanction for reasons recorded. _ " ASSZERGURII, Ace. I.—The de achment of four com— panies of the sth Regiment of Light Infantry, under com mand of Major Symons. accomponied by C iptain Mac. kenzie, Lieutenant Des Vceux, and Dr. Ballard, arrived here this morning at ten o'clock. Both officers and men were in much better plight than could have been expected in the present state of the weather. We have had plen tiful rain within the last three or four days. " court-martial will sit on Mond .y, the 3rd, to try a few deserters of the Contingent, 7th Regiment, one of whom, it is expected, will suffer death, as he deserted his i oat and fled." A let'er from General Havelock's force t - one of the Calcutta papers mention that a battery was to be formed from the guns talteo from Nena Sahib, and that there waiild be no difficulty in manning it, as " all the Madras Fusiliers are artillerymen." On this a correzTandent of the Madras ilthenceurn remarks that it is not generally known that the "gun drill" forms a r,-gular portion of the exercise of every infantry regiMe .t, European or native, in the Madras Army, and is reported on by the impacting officer, in like manner as is the performaece of any oilier of a regiment's duties, so that in cases of emergency a Madras regiment is perfectly independent of artillerymen- For European infantry a practical knowledge of the use of art , liery must evtr be a valuable addition to its efficiency. The ftillowing is an extract from a letter plaoed at our disposal by a friend : " Annunoun trof Aug 9 —A. Jemada of the Yzame cavalry was tried by general court martial a few days since, and sentenced to be shot, tor atte.ripting to excite the men of his regiment to mutiny. The sentence was promptly carried out. as the fellow was blown away the morning after the trial." giLieutenaat-Colonel Le Grand Jacob has been appointed Special Political Commissioner in Kolapore.and Sawunt Warree, and invested with the; military command of all troops within those limits.

DELHI. We take the following from a diary published in tb© Bombezy Gazette : July 20. Telegraphic communication with Umballah is still interrupted at tha Sutlej. Owing to General Reed's ill ness, the command of the field forces hofore Dalhi has been male over to Brigadier General Wition, and General Gowan has assumod the chief comanni in the Upper Provinces. July 20. The telegraph communication with Umbella is again open ; and, by a abort message received yesterday, there appears to have been ann'her affair with the mntineers at Delhi on the 18th hat. Paraculars are not given furth2r than that our loss was small, and the enemy, as usual, driven back. They made a show of turning oat oh the 19. h, but retired again very shortly within the city walls. Our treys before Delhi have now been engaged in no less than 22 conflicts with the mutineers, who have poured in from all quarters to aid the rebel cause. The mutineers have invariably been discomfitted and forced to fly. As soldiers they have proved themselves despicable, and whatever their numbers they will only venture to fight from under cover. July 22. The usual message from head quarters did not reach Lahore yesterday ; but it appears that a column of our troops had been ordered out on the 19th to drive in the enemy and seize a battery ; the result not yet known. Shah Mall. a famous Jd leader, had b"en attaeked by a force from Meerut, and Me himself killed and 600 of his followers. Brigadier G3neral Nicholson proceeds at once to Delhi with large reinforcement, both European and native. July 23. • The Punjalb continues to be perfectly tranquil. Accounts fram Kurnal sate that Captain Hughes's corps of Punjaub Cavalry (che sth Regiment), with a party of the mounted Folic: under Remalder Soodh Sing, a few ratteeala infantry, and two guns, were employed to coerce a large village named Butleem, the Zeminiars of which seemed dispose,: to withhold the Givernment revenue and to oppose the G.)vernment officers. The troops met with considerable opposition, but carried an' destroyed the village. The Z.:minders were habeeqnently fined by the authorities. This Tillage does not form a part of the I l usjaub. Tao telegraph messages of yesterday report all quiet at Delhi. Much talk among the mutineers of a great attack upon the British position, but n 4 attempt to assail it. A messsge from Umballa says thst some Sikh sepoys from Calcutta, ea furlough from Ist June. had passel Cawnpore on the 29th Jane, whoa Gene-al Fir H. M. Wheeler was safe mil at Lucknow. The couttry belo Allah ;bad is all quiet. July 24. There is no news of any importance from Delhi. From intelligence gleaned at Umballa, there are great discus sions among mutineers The want of percussion caps is mentioned, but same very clever man in the city had volunteered to make them ! There had been no more fighting up to the 22u1 inst. Seven additional regimeits of Punjaab infantry are at once to be embarked from the four augmentation companies, which were directed to be raised on the disturbances fist breaking oat. They will be formed at the stations of Umballa, Phillonr, Mooltan, Jhelum, Peshawur, Kohat and Derah Ismael Khan ; and we shall soon be in a position io send further reinforce ments to the army before Delhi, in considerable strength, should it prove necessary. Accounts have b , en received from Judhpore of the 19€ h inst. All well there, and also .at Ajrnere on the 17th. Ajmer! aryl Neetnech are held by . detachments of her Majesty's 83rd Faet, Bombay Lancers, and 12. h Regiment of Bombay Native Infantry, European Horse Artillery, and Judhpore Lesion. Captain Greensill, her Majesty's 24th Foot, was killed by an accidental shot from the Metcalfe batery at D-lhi, on the night of the 21st inst. This unfortunate dfieer appears to have lost his life from neglecting to answer the challenge of a sentry. July 25. A telegraphic message received yesterday from the camp befora Delhi, reports that on the previous day the mutineers had come out in force with fiald guns round by the Cashniere-gata, and moved upon our position at the Metcalfe Battery, under cover of the fire of heavy guns from the city walls. They were taken in flank by a force under Brigadier Showans, when they ikd precipitately, saving their guns only by the rapidity of their flight. Our loss was, small, but we had a few officers wounded—Colonel Drought, 60th Rifles ; Colonel Beaten, 35th Native ►ntantry; Major Turner, Artillery ; Captain Mosey, Artillery; and Lieutenant Law, 10th Regiment of Native Infantry, was killed. _ _ _ July 26. The report from the camp before Delhi is, that up to the evening of the 24th all had remained quiet. Our w.,unded officers and men doing well. A strong party of the 55th Regiment of Native Infantry, which attempted to proceed via Khagun and Kouhar towards Cashmere, were attacked in a difficult pass is the hill 4 by the Syuds of Knagun and people of Kouhar, well beaten, and 32 of their number were slizgl and sent in prisoners to Major Becher, camtnanding in H3zora, under whose orders th'y were tried, sentenced, and executed. Lieutenant M'Mahon, assistant commissioner, who had proceeded towards the frontier of lilkharajah Glpsolab Sing, with about 300 men of the new levies from Sealkote, reports 78 of the mutineers of the 9 h Light Cavalry, and 46th Native Infantry having been sent in by the Maha rajah's people; 63 of them have been summarily dealt with, and the remainder, chiefly commissioned and non commissioned officnrs, have been reserved for the present, in order that a mere formal and public example may be made of them. Fifty of the 9.11 Light Cavalry horses have also been recovered. July 27. Up to 4 p.m. of the 25th inst. the mutineers at Delhi remained perfectly quiet. They are reported to have been joined by a body of fanatics from Tank, a class that are found generally to have a rema , kable aversion to close quarters. Mach raja had fallen at Delhi. • The intelligence of the arrival of a European force at Cawupore under the command of Sir Patrick Grant is further confirmed by ace )unts received from the, camp before Delhi. Her Majesty's 35th, 37th, 64th, (El ghlanders), and the Madras Fnsileers ara said to com pose it, and another regiment is also mentioeed—probablv the Sikh regiment at Ferozeparc. At Mooltan, Subadar-Major Nahur Khan, of the 69th Native Infantry, has been convicted before a general court martial for mutinious and seditious conduct, and executed by being blown away from a gun in the presence of all the troops paraded for the purpose; some others of this regi ment are to be brought to trill, and great praise is due to Major C. Chamberlain, who, aided by some of his excellent native officers (in especial Meer Burket Allee, Wurdee Major) has succeeded in discovering the base treachery medicated; by these °miscreants, and establishing it by proof. 12l of the Sealkote mutineers, brought in from the Jusreutah Hague, have been summarily executed. July 28. All qiiet at Delhi up to 4 p,m. on the 26th inst. Mach talk reported amosg the neetiseers of intended great doings and attacks upon our position, but nothing further. Letters from Agra of the 22d. inst. had been received in camp. They mention the complete defeat of the insurwnts under Nena Sahib, at Futternore, on the 12th iner re. 4 ww had captnretrthe - natitle l efehis gone, twelve i a number, and seven lace of treasure. `.'ht British force under Geo. Havelock had marched. A fanatical M ealvie from Swat had moved down and set up .his standard in the notorious village of Nirunz lie, on the eastern border of Eusufz ai, where, with a number of his followers, he was attacked on the 21st inst. by detach manta from the mountain train battery, from Wild's and Vatighan'a corps of Panjaub Infantry, and some police horse. The village was carried by assault after a stout resistasce; 55 of the enemy were killed and many wounded. The Moulvie contrived to make himself scarce early in the fight, having apparently, on a nearer view of them, no relish for the glories of martyrdom. The heat endured by our troops daring this short expedi tion is reported to have been excessive, and nine Svoys (out of forty struck down) were killed by coup de so:eil. July 29. There is no news from Dolhi, where ell remained q.aiet up to the evening of the 27th. Much rain had fallen. The total number of Sealkote mutineers and camp followers sent in by the Jusrouta authorities (of his 11,gh nem Maharajah Goolab Singh) amount to 672. An emeute took place in the gaol at Googaira on the night of the 26th inst. The prisoners rose en masse and overpo wand the sentries inside the gaol. The guard out side, however, killed and wounded about 50 of then-, most of the latter mortally. Eighteen prisoners managed to effect their escape, owing to the darkness of the night J. D. MACPHERSON, Lieutentant-Colonel, Military Secretary to the Chief Commissioner. THE MUTINIES. We t9ke the following from the Bombay Gaz3tte : Oa thu 15th of Juni we announced that the nowa of Delhi having fallen was expected hour by hour. Here is the 12th of August, however ' and we have read our con Heat predictions in English papers, echoed over half the world, but not yet fulfilled. To ull appearance, the re capture of the piece seems further off now than it wns then. We have long ceased to look for the news. We receive no tidings thence save of the ordinary sorties and repulses, of which, the result is always the same—the defeat of the mutineers, or, as they are called by the hesiegiore force. the " Paudies," with more or less loss on either side, but always far greater on that of the enemy than on ours. Happily, there is this disparity, as our small foree can less afford to spare one man than the mutinous host can aff.ad to lose 10. Reinforcements are received and absorbed into the besieging army, and forn time to time we hear that the defensive attitude is to be abandoned for the offensive, that the assault, one and final, is to be given ; but still again we learn that reinforcements are awaited. We have now, however, a stronger hope than ever before, and a hope not doomed, we trust, to end in disappointment, though its realization may he long deferred. A victorious army, under Brigadier-General Havelock, after having recaptured Cawnpore and relieved Luckaow, is new probably advanc ing, vires a,equirit eundo, and should by this time be fairly ou the road to Delhi. On its arrival there we may perhaps again anticipate early intelligence of the place having fallen, and its rebel garrison having been destroyed. • I The sorties of the mutineers are lees frequent, seemingly, than at first. Daring the p2riod between the 14th ard 28th ult there were only three. The first took place on the 14th, and was attended with unusually heavy •loss on both sides. On ours this was eccationed by the eagerness of the troops, which carried them in pursuit of the flying enemy under the fire of grape and musketry from the walls. The number of killet and wounded was 171. Lieutenant Law, of the 10th Native Infantry, was the only officer among the former, but several officers were wounded. On the 18th the mutineers were easily and promptly driven back into the city. On the 231 th•y came out in great force, with field-pieces, end covered by the fire of heavy guns from tl'e walls, with a view to au attack on our posi tion at the Metcalfe Battery. 'They were, however, taken in flank by a force under Brigadier Showere, end quickly rented, raving their guns only by the rapidity of the flight. The rains had sat in at Delhi, which woald for the present be an advantage to the European troops, in relieving them from the effects of the hot winds and the unelowl.ed san. The fall is very moderate there, the annual average being onl y about 25 inches. The Seafkote mutineers who, as mentioned in our last, were cooped np on an island of the Ravee and watched by .Brigadier Nichelson'a force. _were finally disposed of on the 16th ult., when the whole body was killed or driven into the river.

COMMERCIkL INTELLIGENCE. a a ais .., /ILIIk uA. FROM TUC IST JULY TJ I4TU AUG•, 1557. The Overland Mail of the 10th July from London, per Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Norna, reached Bombay early on the morning of the sth August. Our money market during the last fortnight has, as is usual at this season of the year, become somewhat easier, and the banks have reduced their rates of iuterest 2 per cent. all round, awl unless unforeseen circumstances should arise we are of opinion that a further reduction in rates of interest must take place ere long. The Government notification to receive one-half 4 per cent. paper and one-half cash into the 5 per cent. loan has not improved the value of either of these securities. We quote Fours 82, and Fives 92—few buyers. Our local Joint-Stocks keep firm at about former quotations. Cutton Piece Goods.—The business transacted has been, in consequence of the mutinies in the upper provinces, to a pretty moderate extent, but not as might be expected at this period of the season. Some of the leading staple articles have in some instances been sold under the closing prices of the last season, Metals.—Tin plates are reported to be very scarce ; a slight decline is perceptible in sheathing and braziers' capper; while in iron we have no change worth noticing. Beer.—The market continue very firm, with a good demand for that in wood, while in bottle the inquiry is quiet... Cochineal.—This may he quoted at lir to 2r per lb. EXPORTS. Cotton Wool —The rather limited sock on hang, coupled with the favourable accounts from England, has tended towards a general advance in prices, both for cotton on the spot and that to arrive. We quote Broach end Surat at 141 r 42 ; Oomervut tee at 135: 3tis."; Dhollera 141 r 42a; Khandeish, 125 r 27a; Compta, 131 r 22a; Neravel, 131 r 32a; Dharwar Sawginned, 153 r 55a. Oil Seeds —Transactions on a small scale have taken place in linseed, varying from 5r 12a to 5r 15% per cent. Hemp—The gao•atious are only nominal, the stock being almost nothing. Pepper.—Tne same as above may be sa`d of this article. Opium.—There is no stock in the market, except of inferior quality, and our present quotation is 1,250 r for both Induce and Mandlesir. ;;,Tonnage.—The rates have continued firm, and may at present be quotel at .E 2 53 to £2los per ton. t /cellar - 3ga has gone down. the rate ranging betwixt 24 Id 13.16 h and 24 111. and bills somewhat scares. On Calcutta, sight, 1011; China, 60 days' sight, 227. At LEWIS & COXPANY'S, Ranelagh•stri et. BOY 3 are CLONIED fiom the Ages of Six to Twenty Years• COCKRZY SPORTAMEN.—At the Gr.•enwich police court, Henry Bentham and John Mullindar, respectable young men appeared to answer a summons charging. them with uolne fal:y trespassing and shooting game without a liceuse, on the grounds of Mr James Noakes, of Lewisham. John Duncan said that on the Ist inst., between six and seven o'clock in the meriting, he s•iw the defendants in oas of his master's meadows. They each carded a gun, and a dog was with them. He warned them off, when Barnham said, " What is it to do with you ?" Witness replitd that he was bailiff and keeper to Mr. Noakes, when they wanted to see his sho +Ong license. There were also eight or tea men on the railway lemle armed with guns ready to shoot any birds that defendants might put up. On witness ordering eefenean's off, telling them there were several c veys pr. served there, Burnham e.id he shenld go where he liked, and proceeded along the railway bank followed by his cempaniors, until they arrived at a fir plantation, his master's property, where four or five par tridges were put up. Five gnus were fired, and one bird killed. Burnh.im confessed that he was in the meadow, but he was not aware that he was trespassing. Mullindar denied having been in the meadow. He was on the rail way bank, not in search cf genie, but fur the purpose of shooting small birds for stuffing. John Brook, a witness for the defence, sail he could prove that Mullindar was not the wan who was with Buishani in the meadow. Mr. Traill : It has been swern that he wes the man. Who was it, then, that was committing the offence ? Brook : Why it was me, sir. (Laughter.) Mr. Traill : Do you distinctly swear that you were the man in company with Burnham in Mr. Noakes's meadow and fir planation ? Brook : I do, sir. It was net him but Myself. Mr. Traill : In that UM I shall dismiss the summons against Mullindar, and issue one against you. With resp.2.ct to Burnham, it has been clearly proved he has trespassed, both is the meadow and fir plantations, the object being a search for game. I shall thereften itflict upon him a penalty of 40.., and 7s. cOete. Burnham having paid the money, a summons against B:ook wee at once issued, to be decided on a future day.
