The tort is situated in the midst of it es and marshes, above 50 miles from Delhi as from lo s t : Our troons were opposed by some Mahoaamedan b et and the rabble of the town, by whom our adherent, N7_,Singh, and his followers had some time siece been S i i; e 2. They were quickly dispersed on all sides, the Hai r cutting up about 400, and two flee-pounder guns s a g fallen into our hands.

There were supposed to "eels. 400 of the Gwalior Contingent in the neighbour ' t ory few of whom escaped. MARCH ON AKURABAD. Oti t h e h the force marched on to Akurabad, another e4Hold of fanaticism and revolt, the cavalry rapidly No r ! in advance. They were accompanied by Mr. Vt wis hed Campbell, .and succeeded in killing two clis tithhed rebel chiefs, Mungul Singh and Mehtab Singh, a bout a hundred of their followers. Four guns were %,• „Loaded, and pointed towards the entrance of the fort. with a large quantity of powder and grape-shot, !ei t es etured. Rumour now ran that the mutineers from 04, 4 4 quarters, chiefly from ludore, had congregated at tad 1)( le thirty-three miles from Agra, on the Gwalior titel O 'l l the 7th it was ascertained that they were Ili - 11 1 0 n as hard as they could, with the view of stirpri , - Ite n e Weakened garrison. The enemy, amounting to Sl i t' 5 ,000 disciplined troops, and about 10,000 of a elo Witla three siege guns and twelve or fifteen light 1 114 1 ' 1 45, had meantime crossed the Sharra river, about to 4 ;eteiles north of Agra, on the 9th October. About 4 eB " that day their advanced guard was within four Nor the cantonments, where they fired upon the militia oaf s t Y• sent out to watch their movements. Greathead's be t : ll bad on the same date reached Hattrass, on the tt bA tu side of the river, and was pushing on the advance taii 4 of 600 cavalry and two batteries of artillery. They e ttt ed the ponto o n bridge a little after daybreak, and th e t hee, as it turned out, within five miles of-the enemy. teP le tne meanwhile were supposed to have disappeared kO 4 °X ON THE CANTONMENTS OF AGRA. t l h i 4 the morning of the 10th Greathead's moveable le ok ku marched into the cantonments of Agra, and the Iter e 6, wearied with a long and fatiguing march, had just Ite'"Ped, when they were unexpectedly attacked by the tep b t l, as they were preparing to breakfast.

In Eve minutes our men were in their VI, and before the fifth shot of the enemy had been ofl4, our horse artillery wore replying. The Sikl - s charged flowed by the 9th Lancers in their shirts, when the 4' 4 7, consisting of H.M.'s Bth and 75th, with the F l l 4. came into action, and our guns opened fire.

On reaching the spot, I l t ite,, a forced march of twenty-two miles, they found the abandoned, the Rajah having accompanied the shY found guns, and about £20,000 worth of treasure, '°.ond in the fort.

A portion of . 2 e n oels round Agra had lished themselves about on the further side of the Kharra Nividee, a b , 4l th r Portion of them being at Futtehpore-Sikree, etl ie e ,r the 3rd Bengal Europeans proceeded 'from Agra li iti r 42 od to meet them. The main body of the Delhi " Ne., wiring south-westward, were believed to have in tt VI from the trunk-road about Canouge, and crossed k 'ed t eu Oude. A portion of them had previously pro- N t owards Bareilly, and another had joined the Raees Nelsabad. ej lIRIGADIER StIOWERS'S COLUMN. glo ll t dier Showers's column, which left just after that of k e t l Greathead, proceeded to Sootub, and after sweeping hOtt r : b nity round for a week, returned to Delhi on the 29th tl t teed ue . ,r• It started afresh on the tad of October, and PU to Rewarree, which it found deserted.

At this latter date, the Residency, which had been relieved on the 25th, was kept possession of, the greater portion of the city itself having been cap tured ; but the enemy still continued in such alarming strength, that apprehensions were entertained that Have lock, with his undersized and over-worked army, might be cut off from supplies 'or succour. Having gallantly maintained himself to the last, he must have been joined about the 24th of' October by her Majesty's 53rd and 93rd regiments from Cawnpore, and within four days afterwards by the whole of Grea'head's flying co'umn, so as once more to take the field and hunt down the enemy. We are now enables somewhat to extend the very limited amount of information we a fortnight since possessed in reference to the operations between the 24th and 29;,h, although our intelligenee is still sufficiently imperfect—it is only from the latter of these dates that it is new. The enemy had a formidable entrenchment thrown up, and armed with 50 pieces of cannon, at a place called Allumbagh, a country residence of the Princes of Oude, about three miles from Lucknow, on the Cawnpore side. It is described as consist ing of a large house, with a high wall all round, and an enclosure of about 500 yards square. But the convoy was too weak and exhausted to stir, and here the first of a series of contests, which lasted more than twelve hours, began. Having captured all their guns, and driven the enemy from their outwork, it was found sufficiently strong to be maintained by a party of the 64th Foot, under Major Sibley, and here accordingly the sick, the woe/tided, and the baggage were left behind. Betwixt Al lumbah and Lucknow is an extensive plain, traversed by a wide canal. Havelock, with the main body of the force, crossed this by a bridge, which the enemy, hanging close upon our rear, had immediately destroyed, occupying a position on the bank of the canal, so as to divide the two portions of our force from each other. Nearly a day was occupied by General Havelock in forcing his way to the Residency through the city. The resistance was deter mine 1 , and the casudties, nearly 500 out of a force of 2,000, very severe. On reaching the Residency he was still fired on by the enemy, from batteries recently thrown up, and which required to be stormed in succession, and were carried at the point of the bayonet. Here fell the gallant General Neill—the hero and the idol alike of the army, with Majors Perrin, and Lieuts. Graham, Preston, and Nunn, of her Majesty's 90th. Here also fell Colonel Hamilton, Captain Hay, and lieutenant Swanson of the 78th, Lieutenant Haigh of the sth Fusiliers, beside, Captain Shute, and Lieutenants Turner and Bateman of the G4th, with above 30 wounded, many of them severely. The communications betwixt the two portions of our force being thus completely cat off, those betwixt Allumbah and Cawnpore were very impert ctly maintained. On the 26th severe fighting continued, and for the next four days heavy firing was almost incessant. By tnis time above two miles of the town had 'alien into our hands, and the weakness of our force alone prevented the remainder from being secured. Havelock had reached Lucknow with 2,500 in all. Of these neatly 600 had been disabled ; about as many more had been left at Allumbagh—so that, when joined to the Residency garrison, about a thousand strong, he had scarcely his original number, to meet a force of above 50,000 in the field against him; though with courage and management such as could be relied upon, enough to maintain themselves in the Residency, and bom bard and cannonade the city. The difficulties of the Residency were such, that Havelock was left no time to wait at Cawnpore for reinforcements, and the original intention was to have relieved the garrison, escort the women and children to a place of safety, and then resume the offensive. Here Oatram remained with 1,500 men, levelling the various buildings which hemmed in and com• mended them, while Havelock operated oetside. For a time the force was separated into three, Havelock at the Balee Guard, being cut off from all communication with Outram. They are luckily once more reunited. Oa the 31. a convoy of 300 men of the 64th, commanded by Major Ping ham, with provisions, lett Cawnpore, but were able to get no further on than Allumbagh, where they left their supplies, returning to Cawnpore without having experienced any molestation either on their advance or return. On the 11th a party of 150 arrived at the latter places from the former, bringing with them a large number of camels and elephants to assist in carrying back again provisions. Oa the 14th a second convoy under Major Nl.lntyrP, of the 78th Highlanders, was despatched. He was obliged, however, to ,entrench himself, when within four miles of his destination, returning to his sores, which he was not strong enough to protect, and await reinforcements, Allunabagh was now occuptc iby about 1,000 men. The approaches are commanded by heavy guns, and the ground cleared and exposed in all directions to the distance of about 600 yards. le, deliverer d Western 6 use rates. . ) 29 dolt, 4 dol3 7 5 c t° .and. dull spa nee . ineral ask Og at 3 dole 50°.

They then took up a position along the canal to intercept, obstruct, and prevent any communication, provisions, and reinforcements passing to our army, now well up to the walls of the town. This measure leaves our main ,body, and the party in the entrenchment at Allumbagh, in a strange predicament; and should any from the latter sally out towards the broken bridge, he meets with a warmreception from Jack Sepoy in the shape of a dozen or so of bullets, aid is therefore fain to stay within doors. Ever since our fellows crossed the bridge and advanced towards the Residency, there has been scarce an hour's cessation of firing from guns of large and small calibre, and those infernal jinkale from the city. Upwards of two miles of the city is levelled, and every hour lessened it still more, but the firing does not slacken in the least. The enemy, it is said, are being reinforced by the routed army of Delhi. However, with the exception of the stoppage of communication, nothing is feared, and all is going on swimmingly, and our troops are said to be holding out in their usual gallant style, and ready to surmount or go through any thin& their Genaral may order them to. Since sending you the last list of killed and wounded, I lament to say that I have been warned of a frightful increase of casualties in action, and many have died subse quently from wounds. Of the four officers that accom panied the detachment of her Majesty's 64th to Luc keow, only one remains, and his name is Hudson. He is the adjutant of the corp', and having volunteered to join the expedition, was placed on the general stall'. Captain Shute, and Lieutenants Turner and Bateman, were all three killed. Captain Shute was a brave:and well-hied cacer, and commanded the light company of the gallant 6411). The other officers of her Majesty's 78th are a's ) reported killed, viz., Colonel Hamilton and Lieut. Swanson. The inhabitants aro said to be deserting the city of Lecknew in hundreds daily. Our general is crying o u t loudly f o r large reinforcements. I believe ho expects part, of the force from Delhi shortly. It will be impossible to send him a largo force from Cawopore under a fortnight at the very least. Detachments of eighty aed one hundred strong come en almost daily, and two companies of the 5.h Fusiliers, and one of H.M.'s 64th, with details of other regiments are expected in a few days. A detachment of 11.M.'s 64th, 300 strong, under command of 21 , j0r "Fug ham, left with a large store of provisions and ammunition, but these could be taken no further than the entrenchment at Allumbagh, and there both men and stores still remain. Last night a party from various corps, numbering in all 150, arrived horn Allumbagh, in charge of an immense number of captured elephants and camels, and one or two of these men tell me that, for want of other material to erect breast works, the bedding belonging to the men was appropriated for this purpose. The medical geutlemen and their subordinates are hard-worked, and have scarce a mo ment to think to call their own. Amputations are,,l gr ieve to say, become very common, no less than twenty-five or thirty having had to undergo the mutilatien of either arm or leg, and an Escnlapius out here now thinks no more of whipping off a fellow creature's limb, than he would of opening any ordinary abcess. I have heard nothing of Nana Sahib. I trust he has not given us the slip. I should like much to have a close view of his ex-Majesty. He is an ugly looking wretch, I am told. He cannot be uglier than his deeds. The greater portion of the force that captured Delhi are now in pursuit of the flying thoesands of rebels. The lower provinces are quiet. The naval and marine brigade has arrived at Allanabad, and is now doing duty in the fort. LIST OF SURVIVING OFFICERS, LADIES, AND CHILDREN IN THE LUCKNOW GARRISON, ENCLOSED IN LIEUT.-GEIERAL J.

The following is from Camp Chuttrah, dated 4th inst : Oa the tad October, 1857, the small force under the command of Mawr English, consisting of 150 men of her Majesty's 53rd Regiment, and about an equal number of the Police Battalion, advanced from the village of Dourol " Erchack" upon " Chuttra," where the Ramghur Batta lion, upwards of 750 strong, with four brass guns, were encamped, commanded by a Baboo, who directed the whole of their operations. We came in sight of the enemy about 8 a.m., when a party under command of Captain Fendall, were sent out in skirmishing order, followed by the main body at about 259 yards distance. The skirmishers immediately opened fire upon the enemy, who was in position, in line, protected by his artillery, which instantly opened a heavy • fire of round shot . , grape, and cannister. Nothing daunted, the skirmisher moved steadily on, while the main body under Mapr English, by a flank movement to the left, came upon the enemy's right, when the action became general. Tne enemy fought his guns to the last minute, and kept up a heavy and continuous fire of musketry for about an hour sod a half, when he fled from all points with the loss of his guns, ammunition, and colours, and the whole of his baggage and camp equipage, &c. If we had with us a few cavalry, scarcely a man would have escaped being killed or taken prisoner. A great number of their dead covered the field, but their wounded crawled into the :jungle, from whence a good number were brought into the camp during the day. Our loss in this sharp action is rather severe, being three three killed and forty-three wounded, three of whom bare since died of their wounds, Nothing could exceed the coolness and bravery dis played by our officers, who were always in front, exposing themselves to the hottest ire, and encouraging their men, by their noble and heroic example, and we feel justly proud of them.-0., hceitix, October 10. BENARES, OCT. 16, 1857.—News has just come in of the mutiny of the 32ad Bengal Native Infantry in the Santhal district. They have, we hear, murdered some of their •fficers, and are marching towards Bhaugulpore. We hear that the 31st at Bangor have also gone. No news in lately from up the country. Troops in small detachments pass up daily. Yesterday two companies of H.M.'s 53rd, and five companies of the 27th Madras Native Infantry, passed up, with four hundred remounts, CAWN PORE. Between the tad and '24th October, the dates from Cawnpore comprised betwixt the last and'present deep itch, everything continued quiet within and around the town, the Commandant, Colonel Wilson—on whom reinforce ments of 200 or 300 at a time were daily dropping— attended to the wants of Lucknow, and watching the movements of the enemy in the Leighbourhood. About the 14th it was reported that the insurgents were muster ing in force at Bithoor to the northward—the former residence of Nana Sahib, supposed not unlikely now to be at the head of them. On the 17th orders were issued for the detachment, for some time hack ready to start for Lucknow, to move off immediately. At ten o'clock the same evening the order vas cancelled, and at midnight a field battery, with 650 bayonets, and a few native horsemen provided with four days' provisions, moved off as quiely as possible for Bithoor. Tois was the native festival of the Delawee, or feast of lamps, when there is a general holiday and an unusual . amount of festivity. They approached Bithoor early in the morning, and after a short rest moved off about neon. Having marched six miles they learned that the enemy occupied a grove of trees half a mile in front, with a nine and 24 .pounder gun in position. The small force now deployed, when a detachment of the 90'.h, which was in the rear, -in commencing to move off the road, were opened on by tho enemy, the first shell bursting in front of them, killing two and wounding two or three others. Our guns were now run up, but the range at first' was tco long, when they closed in, and after firing 20 or 30 rounds silenced ;he enemy, and our infantry charged and carried everything before them. The action lasted an hour. We lost two killed, and ho.'l six severely wounded. The enemy pr doably lost about 100—thougia this is matter of conjecture. Great havoc might have been committed on the fugitives had cavalry been available. Their guns were left behind them, with two waggons and three country carts laden with ammunition. The 19th was occupied in destroying Bithoor. On the morning of the 20,h the gallant and vic'orious little band returned to Uawnpore. On their way back the village of Shea- Raj pore was destroyed, and in a house filled with straw five of the rebels were discovered by the men of the 64th probing, the mass with their bayonets. Tney dashed out sword in hand, when they were immediately despatched Two of the prisoners brought in were hanged ; one of them was the bearer of letters from Nana Sahib to the people in and around Bithoor, calling upon the people to provide ammunition and have supplies ready for his arrival, expected in the camse of 15 days. RAJPOOTANA. Our intellig , nce from Raj pootan ais 'unsatisfactory, Major Barton, Political Agent at Kootah, who had hen residing with his family for a short time at Neemuch, returned to the Residency, accompanied by his two sans, on the 15± tf October, fortuately leaving the rest of his family behind him. He had caused a royal salute to be fired in honour of the fall of Delhi, and the policy of the insurgent leaders everywhere being to ignore this event, and try to have it believed that their cause is in the ascendant, exclaimed that the Resident was deceiving the people, and ought to be destroyved. The usual exchanges of courtesies had taken place an the 14th, and the following day, at noon, the two regiments mutinied. The Residency was attacked according ly, and the Resident, with his two sans, while gallantly de defending themselves, were slaughtered. After the m (lets, the premises were plundered, and the belies of the unfortu nate victims exposed. The Rajah continues faithful to us, and anxiously waits for assistance. The bulk of his arm; consisting of four regiments of infantry, with al his artillery, had turned against him. They proposed pro ceeding to Delhi, to assist in the restoration of the King, disbelieving, as most of the disaffected did, in the fall of the capital. For many months past, Neemuch has been one of the centres of disaffection in Rajpootana. About the middle of October the • rebels began once more to gather around it film all directions, a body of them concentrating at Jeerum, with a view of attacking the garrison. On the 24th, the Neemuch column moved out to meet them, and attacked them in -front of their stronghold. The battle was severe, and our casual ties heavy. Captain Tucker, of the 2nd Bombay Cavalry, and Capt. Reade, of H. M.'s 83rd Foot, were killed. Captain Simpson, Lieuts. Blair and Le Geyt, of the 2nd Cavalry, Captain Soppitt, of the 12th N. 1., and Can'ain Laurie, of the 21st N. 1., were wounded. •f he enemy were driven back into their fort, which our force was too weak to storm, and they now await the arrival of Briga dier Stuart's flying column, which, relieved of its duties before Dhar, will, it is hoped, be speedily amongst them. DHAR. Our readers must not suppose that when it is intimated that the mutineers have appeared in a new place, that a new mutiny has actually broken out, or that the rebellion is spreading, when the dispershd rebels are only rallying or concentrating at new points. The Malwa field force, con sisting of three guns of the Bengal Artillery, three troops of her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons, 200 of her Majesty's 86th Foot, seven companies of the 25th Bombay N. 1., Ist. Cavalry Hyderabad Contingent, and the Madras Sappers, left Mhow on the 20th October to attack the rebels wher ever they might be found. The insurgents were at this tiiie ravaging the country around, the main body taking the direction of Dhar, a considerable town on the route from Mhow to Baroda, thirty-three miles west of the former, and eighty-three east of the latter place. It is about three miles in circumference, and is surrouni‘d by a mud wall. On the morning of he 22nd, warning was received from the Rajah that unless oar troops soon made their appearance, he would be corn_ polled to give in. The force now pushed on, and in the course of the afternoon the advanced guard came in sight of the enemy. After skirmishing and distant firing, tke Dragoons and Irregulars charged di lgonally across and up to the left of the hill, and captured three of the guns. The infantry followed immediately, and just arrived in time to prevent them being spiked, the 25th Bombay N. I. undertaking to work them. A nine-pounder, which had been tumbled over the hill, was followed by the sepoy', taken hold of and brought up again, amidst the cheers of their European fellow-soldiers. Night was now closing in, and a guard being left on the gorge communi cating with title town, operations were suspended until the other detachments came up, so as to cut off the retreat of the enemy. Encouraged by what they considered a check, the rebels shook their standards in defiance, and endeavoured to surround Major Keane's detachment as it advanced. The enemy meanwhile became so hard pressed that they forced their way into the fort, - where they expected to maintain themselves. The heavy guns arrived from Mhow on Opt. 30; a breach was speedily established, and the place was stormed on the morning of the Ist inst., when it was found that the insurgents had managed to escape in the opposite direction, with comparatively little loss, Stuart's force not being arge enough to sur round them. BOMBAY.—At the presidency during the past fortnight, a sulholar of tha 11th Native Infantry has been convicted of ro atiny and sedition, and the sentence of death commuted for one of transportation. The leniency, universally con demned, is ascribed to the Governor, and bogies to imperil the popularity he has hitherto earned from his severity and decision. NORTH-WEE 3T PaoviNcEs, The present state of the North Western Provinces appears to be as follows :—Delhi has been taken, and the country all round is quieted. Two flying columns have been detached from the victorious host—one to the east ward under Lieutenant-Colonel Showers to Rewaree, which has been fully successful, and the other under Lieut. Colonel Greithead to Agra, The latter, after successful affairs at Bolundshuhur, Malaghur, and Allyghur, arrived at Agra by forced marches in time to meet the com' - iined mutineers, who, iii great numbers, assembled at Agra on the 10:h October; and were defeated with the loss of their guns, camp equipage'. ammunition, and treasure— everything, in fact which constituted an army—and were pursued and disie:reed, after which Lieut.-Col Greithead'e column marched towards Cawnpore. Since that day the villagers have resisted the dispirated remains of the muti neers ; the latter have not only been driven off from Muttra and Bhurtpore, but even from smaller towns and villages, and many have been killed and more taken prisoners. Bhurtpore, as the nearest and best prepared state, set the example of active opera'ions against the mutineers and in surgents; and Captain Nixon, the political agent of Bhurt pore, and Captain Gee Murnbe,e, the superintending engineer of Rajpootana,have returned to Bhurtpore and have been received by all parties in the state with distinguished honours. The Maharajah of Gwalior now feels himself strong enough to express his wish to re-establish relations with the !British Government, and his friendly over tures (of the sincerity of which there can be no doubt, from his excellent conduct during the past troubles) will be responded to at once, if the vaccination of the Govern ment of the North Western Provinces, passed on from one head of the Government to another, can allow of direct and prompt action without reference to Calcutta. The mutineers ,having been killed in considerable numbers in the Bhurtpore state, and others sent into Agra for trio! and having been executed, the Rao Reja of Kussowlie has next taken up the pursuit, and it will be followed throughout the confederate Rajpoot states. 'I he heart of the mutiny is broken on the west of the Jumna—no mutineer exists now in those except as a fugitive, and the Jumna has been, and the Gunge or Ganges seen will be crossed by every body that has been able to hold together as far as that latter river. The campaign will then assume entirely the character of a foreign war. ROCHILCUND. Dituir.—The following information is contained in a Lester from Delhi, dated October 1 We are now work ing hard to get matters settled here and in the district. Brigadier Showers returned yesterday with a small force with which he had been to the Kootul.:. All being quiet at Delhi, ILM.'s 52nd marched towards the Punjaub. Three European regiments. the 60%, Gler, and let Europeans, remain at Delhi, wth the 4th Sikhs, Guide Infantry, and Sitnoor Battalion and two troops of Horse Artillery. Oct. 9.—We are all quiet her; and everything going on satisfactcrily." Ocf.l2.—Mirza Bukhtawur Shahand Mirza Mehundo, sons of the King, were condemned by the Military Court, and sentenced to be shot. The execution was. to take place on the morning of the 13th. The King will be arraigned before a military commis sion next week. The prosecution will be conducted by Major Harrier, D..puty Jadge Advocate-General. His life was guaranteed tc him at the time of apprehension. Some of the chief rebels, Mr. Saunder's writes, "among the Alihommedan gentry of Delhi, are being gradually arrested, and will be brought to trial when sufficient evidence to convict them has been collected." OCT. I3.—Mr. Saunders writes:—Everything is quiet here. We have received letters to-day from Showers's cilurnn, reporting that they were then at Janoo Sata, and had made semral of the Jhujjur sowars, who had come across them, lay down their arms without resistance. We are graduaty apprehending. some of the chief offenders, the Nawab of Jbujjur and others being anxious now to testify their loyalty and affection for the British Government by apprehending for us parties who have been concerned in the rebellion. MEE tUT, OCT. 14.—The whole of the Upper Doab is rapidly settling into order. The land revenue balances for the Rubbee harvest will soon hive been paid up entirely. The horse dawk runs all the way from Meerut to Agra. MOZUFFERNUGGER, 11th October.—All is again quiet in this district. The rebels appear to have entirely dis persed. Mr. Edwards was still at Thannah Bhowun with the district force, an I the land revenue was coming in rapidly. GWALIOR —The Contingent, it is reported on good authority, has moved from Gwalior, and taken an eastward course. It started on the 14th or 15th. News of the victory of the 10th had reached Gwelior, and created great sensation there. The Maharajah, now relieved of his difficulties, will publicly re-open political communication with the Governor-General's agent. ' Situaameroax.—,The popular tide is now running fast in favour of Goverment: All the large towns in this district were illuminated in honour of the fall of Delhi.— Delhi Gazette, O ctober 14. NYNEE Pare—The Bareilly rebAs have again sent a force agains`, Nynee Tal, and have occupied Huldwanee and K tleedooagee. Nynee Tel is, however, quite secure, and Major Ramsay only waits fora favourable opportunity to attack the invaders. A supply of arms, &c., has been sent over from Mussoorie. OPERATIONS FOR THE RELIEF OF LUCKNOW. eawNroue, October 12.—Since sending you my last communication, I have been favoured with news from the army before Lucknow. All is not so quiet there as was at first reported, and the town of Lucknow is not yet ours, though General Sir J. Outram is close upon it, and has destroyed upwards of two miles of the famous and extensive city. All communication with him and his force is at present totally obstructed. About two or three miles from the town of Lucknow, the enemy had a formidable entrenchment thrown up, and had fifty pieces of ordnance mounted on it; and the taking of this was the commence ment of a series of fights with the rebels. The battle at this place was well and fiercely contested, and lasted some hours, and ended in the enemy evacuating it in a most precipitate manner, but the loss on our side was great. Between this entrenchment and Lucknow is an extensive and wide cantil, over which, in peaceful times, was constructed a bridge: The main body of our army marched on to the relief of the garrison, and close upon the heels of our sab'e foes, leaving behind in the entrenchment the whole of the wounded and baggage, and a strong party under the command of Major Sibley, 64th Foot, to protect and garrison it. After our army had got well over the bridge, cheers and loud hurrahs rout the air, and handkerchiefs and pieces of cloth were waved by the garrison, which, I am happy to say, was shortly after wards joined and set free by the brave troops come to their succour. This relief happened in good time, for the rascally rebels had a part of the garrison entrenched camp undermined, and ready for loading. Had we delayed another day, there would, I doebt not, have been another tragedy enacted, but, as I said before, the relief was well timed. It is more than my pen can do to give you even the most distant account of the meeting, 'twas so pleasing to behold; I shall, how ever, leave it to your imagination. The poor women, and the still more helpless children, were in a most miserable plight from want of clean clothes ; in fact, the whole of the garrison were hard up for a change. The women, children, and sick were all sent to the entrenchment at Allumbagh, and there they are now, waiting for reinforcements ere they can be trusted even as far as Cawnpore, distant some forty miles or so. I forgot to mention that the whole of the guns in the fortification, taken by a charge from the enemy, became ours, and shorty before two others were captured— one in rather an original kind of a battery situated on the road. This gun, I ail told, was charged in a most gallant style by the small detachment of her Majesty's 64th. No for Allahabad. The works at Raj-Ghaut are progressing rapidly, but they are three miles and a half from the station, and the road to it is entirely through gardens, affording excellent cover to skirmishers. All quiet here, bat Jeunpore is threatened by 4,000 Oude scoundrels ; so at least it is reported. None of the troops from England have as yet arrived in Calcutta. SCINDE. SHIKARPOOR—We have been kindly favoured with the subjoined information regarding the result of the trial of the mutineers of Shikarpoor :—" At a native court martial, held at Shikarpoor on the 9th and 10th instant, the four privates of the Golundauze and the Subadar and Havildar of the 6 h regiment N. 1., concerned in the late mutiny, were convicted and sentenced to deal). The sentences were carried into effect in the preeence of the troops and police on the tenth evening, by the blowin ,-, away from guns of the privet s, and han g ing of the Subadar and Havildar." — Sind lrossid, Oct. 16. UPPER ticlNDE—Oar correspondent from Upper S.tinle writes : " All quiet here, the example made of the mutineers has struck terror into the minds of the evil doers, so that I think we heard the last of the Sciende mutinies. " The Khan of Knelet and the Jam of Bilah have had a row on a small stile. About three weeks ago, the Jam pr.ii3 a visit to the Tian of Khelat, when some dispute arose regarding some land ; this led to high words. when sw,rds were drawn, and a few killed and wounded oa both sides. The Jam had to mike a bolt for it, as he had very few followers with him. Captain lkLicauley's visit to Khelat, it is believed, is to try and smooth matters between the two ciefs.—Seind Kossid. ItAJPOOTANA. KoTm.—lntelligence has been received of the murder cf Major Burton, political agent at Kotah, and two of his sins, at that place, on the 15th inst., by some mutinous troops of the 11.1j3h there, who rose on the date mentioned, and having set fire to the Residency, murdered its unfortunate inmates. Major Burton was a most estimable and good man, of a kind and conciliatory disposition, and greatly b-loved by all who had the pleisure of his acquaintance. Ire had left Neemuch only a few days previous, with his two eon, to proceed to Kotah, leaving the rest of his family. behind in the fort of the former place, who have now to deplore his most sad and untimely fate. Major Burton belonged to the 40th Regiment Bengal Native fufantry, and served as interpreter to the Ist Light Cavalry during the Gwalior campaign, being present at the blttle of Mahataj pore (bronze star). RETIREMENT OF GENERAL WILSON. Major-General A. Wilson has been compelled, owing to the impaired state of his health. to relinquish the com mand of the Delhi field force. The gallant general may rest upon his laurels, as his name will be long remember ed as the " Conqueror of Delhi," and his services will be rewarded by a grateful country. Major-General N. Penny, C. 8., has been nominated General Wilson's successor in the command of the Dol hi field force. This officer served during the Nepalil war in 1814-15 16, and in the Mahratta war of 1816-17, Gurra Ketch 1818, and at the siege of Biiurtpore in 1825, receiv ing a medal for his services, and the brevet rank of major. Major-General Penny was afterwards employed in the campaign on the Sutlej, and was present at the battles of Aliwal and Sobraon, at the latter of which he was woun ded. For his services in this campaign he received a medal and clasp, and was made a C.B. Major-General Penny was likewise actively engaged during the cam paigns in the Punjab in ..1348-49, being present at the battles of Chillianwallah and Goojerat, and subsequent pursuit of the Sikhs and Affghans under General Gilbert (medal and clasp). LATEST DEFAILS OF THE ASSAULT ON DELHI' ;[From au Officer•] Oa the nsorning of the 14th S2ptembe,r, the majority of us wore up and dressed by 2 a.m. Half an hour after the falling into the ranks took place, which by the bye the sub sequent great delay, proved that wo were either too early, or that the advance of the assaulting columns had been too slow; for the third column, to which we had the honour of belonging, only reached Ludlow Castle, whe.► daylight had fully appeared, though the sun had not yet risen above the horizon. We here had several shells and round shot sent at us, which did here and there some execution. Oa the near side of Ludlow Castle, we set into a double, and were very soon amid the murderous fire of musketry, which had already told severely on the Europeans. We did not then know that the Gish mere gate had been blown in by our Engineers (for which they deserve the highest praise), so, seeing the breach on our left, we jumped over a low wall—and galled on our men to follow us—and away we all scampered across a portion of the Custom house Gluten to the ditch, whose slope gave us great facility of descent, whilst ladders placed against the lower wall brought us soon on the breach, which we mounted rapidly, though the ladders were not over numerous. A shout and a hurrah, and we were in the octagon of the Cashmere gate, at which the Pandies were blazing with grape from a howitser and another light gun, placed opposite Skinner's house ; it fell chiefly short, much to our satisfaction. The column crossed this fire at a run, I believe without losing a man, and doubled into the Kutcherry compound, then into the roundhouse in the rear of the church, and across into the College compound, in which we found four horses har nessed to a light gun abandoned. We dislodged Fanny in double quick time, and took the house. A brisk fire was kept up upon Paudy from the verandah in front, where we lay pretty thick, as well as in the outhouses of the Judge's Kutcherry here. We lost several men badly wounded. Many took a different road, whilst we adTanced and fairly drove the rascals away, who took shelter in the magazine, where they mustered in large numbers. We were now fired at. from several quarters--from the old post office, magazine, and the road leading to the palate. Our destination was the Jumma Musjid; the question now arose, which route was moat advisable to take, by the Bank road via the palace, or the lane which leads from Skinner's house. Our senior chose the latter. By the former we might be taken between two fires, from an enemy in front, and those in the magazine dashing after us, via the palace would expose us to guns, which were doubtlessly in position in that direction, whilst in returning, via the Bazaar road from Skinner's house, we started with the knowledge of having no enemy behind. From hence we arrived quickly in the Chandnee Choke, and took possession of the Kotwallee, polished off four Fondles, wholo we found here concealed, replenishing our pouches from a magazine of small ammunition, and returned the fire aimed at us, from the surrounding houses. But where was the largest and best portion of our column ? Had ,they advanced on the Musjid and taken it? Or were they in the rear, having lost their road ? But I know not if it had b. en ascertained whether the leaders of columns and Regiments were cognizant of the roads leading to their several destinations, and now, -a ow in the world could they find them out, when not a single creature, however inoffensive, remained anywhere to inform them; this led, no doubt, to our losing the held of oar column. They took one road, and we another, for whilst fighting and firing away, not a word of command can be heard, as in our case there is every probability of a reparation taking place. In the meahwhile Paudy was advancing towards us from both sides of the Chandnee Choke, and the Kotwallee was no longer tenable, being commanded by the high surrounding houses, and a gen could easily have blown in the gate. Taking these things into consideration, and the smallness of our force, our superior thought it best to retire, and endeavour to fini the head of the column—this was about eleven o'clock ; on nearing Skinner's house we met a small party of Europeans, who assured us that the head our column was ahead, so round about we faced again, with the intention of pushing on this time to the Musjid; approach ing the Choke, repeated firing of cannon was heard in that direction, we threw out immediately half-a-dozen men to ascertain whether they were ours or the Pandy's gnus ; we received an answer, which induced us to advance. We pushed on to the corner of the street, but on looking up the Choke, towards the Lahore gate direction, from whence the firing came, they were at such a distance off as to defy any one to tell whether they were friend or foe. Our men now asked where wer3 the three light field pieces that had been detailed (so said rumour) to accompany our column ? Echo answered, Where ! We subsequently learnt that many of our artillerymen had obtained from the contents of one of the wine and beer merchant shops sufficient to incapaciate themselves so far as to induce them to select cases of hermetically sealed salmon and carrots, declaring they were grape! So, unfortunately, the guns which might have been of so much use to us never appeared. If true, here was cause sufficient. The firing of the guns approached nearer and nearer. We sent a few men to the top of some of the houses, and after a while ascertained they were Pandies, with two light pieces. They were some 12,000 or 15,000 strong, drawn up in subdivisions, or something like it, and immediately behind them about 200 cavalry. The whole were proceeding in a cautious man lier, hemming the side of the houses in which we were, and after each fire loading and pushing the pieces along, for they evidently expected us to make a dash round the corner to seize the guns, the fellows did not know the smallness of our party. We waited here in the hope of soon hearing something to our advantage, but as the blazing of the guns approached nearer, and their roar sounding deafeningly uncomfortable, our superior deemed it advisable to retire again, for if they had moved with more pluck, and wheeled their guns rapidly into the lane where we were halted, nothing could have prevented them from sweeping the length of it, and lucky indeed would he have been, who escaped. On nearing the corner which turns to the Bank, we met some men who for the first time told us, that the head of our colnmn, after which we had been so unfortunatly hunting, was in the Bank compound, and suffering much for want of help, as the fire was exceedingly hot from the several houses overlooking the garden. We soon joined the Brigadier (who had his arm in a sling from a wound just received in the hand or wrist) and for a while re-kindled the fire. The told us he had written to the general for his guns, for up to this time we knew nothing of their fate. Men kept falling fast, natives getting funk and shrking, and even the steady Europeans beginning grumble, sa ying, this was all my eye to b e p o tt e d behind loopholes and get no satisfaction.' The Briga- dier, however, held out for a while longer, but seeing no guns coming, he eventually ordered us to retire, and away we went not a little glad to get out of such a cul de sac. On reaching'Skinner's we were distributed in different positions ; one corps held Skinner's house where the General and his staff had taken up their quarters. A. little later the college was re-taken an's the water bastion to the Cabul gate, another corps along the ampart of the wall, tc2. It was now past two and we were dead beaten, for the great portion of the morning we had best; at a run or quick walk ; we must have been at least ten hours on foot, since two a.m. MORE CAWNPORE VICTIMS.

SHANGHAI: Sept. 27.—Silk is in Shanghae just now what tae " Derby " is at Tattersall's early in May. Every one is talking about it, and some are speculating is it. The Chinamen are afraid of the news by the next mail, and have reduced their demands by 20 dollars a bale. Some p: , ople think they see their way clear with this reduction, and have bought up 3 000 bales. Others, however, believe that this will not do. They argue that the statistics of silk, the stocks in England, the stocks in France, and the 12,000 bales actually in Shanghac, look bad for high prices ; that the easiest thing in the world to be supprime is a silk dress ; and that, therefore, the present demands aro dangerously high. Tea is selling from 61 to Si per lb dearer in Shanghae than it is in England. The first crop having been , lost, and the stocks being low, this uncomfortable state of things is likely to continue. Opium has reached a tremendous price, so that the opium-smoker will persevere in his bad habits under considerable discouragement. HONG KONG, s.—Lord Elgin is still here, and lives on board the steamer Ave. The steamer Emperor-and three more gun-boats have arrived. Tre Russian steamer America has left Shanghae for the Gulf of Pecheli. Pekin Gazettes are down to the 27th of August, but do not refer again to outside affairs. Provisions in the north appear to be exclusively dear, and vessels taking rice to Tients-in are exempt from duties. A French bishop has been decapitated in Cochin China, and a great many Christians murdered. IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS IN TaE ROPE MANUFACTURE. ENGLAND V. AMERICA. The rapid and varied improvements which have taken place of late years, in the art of ship-building, bath in Great Britain and the United States, where swift and monster " clipper" and " Leviathan" steamers attest the peaceful rivalry between the two greatest commercial nations of the world, have nattrally stimulated the exertions of the ope manufacturers of both hemispheres, and we are glad to find that in this important department of trade, connected with the building of ships, that our towns men keep pace e ith the progressive spirit of the age. Though aware het recently very great improvements had been made in the rope manufacture, as evidenced by the results of experiments at the Corporation Testing Machines, in July last, we were s:Arcely prepared for the giant !tilde which appears to have been taken by Messrs Wilcox and Co., of Bootle, in regard to the various operations connected with the spinniog of Manilla and Ressian hemp, by patent machinery, of American invention. On Wednesday and Thursday last, we had an opportunity of witnessing a series of experiments at the Corporation Testing Estab lishment, with a view to test the strength of the rope spun by Messrs. Wilcox, as compared with former trials of rope spun by other manufacturers. The above-mentioned trials- in July last, certainly demonstrated the, great improvements effected in the manufacture of rope spun in this town, but Messrs. Wilcox, by the adoption of American machinery, in their own works at Bootle, proved most decidedly that the rope they manufacture is in every way superior to that previously tested here. The old process of rope-making by hand involves not only a number of tedious operations, but a large amount of exposure to the weather, and other inconveniences which are entirely avoided by the patent machinery in use at Messrs. Wilcox and Co.'s establishment. The operations of heckling dressing, and spinning ars conducted in large rooms fitted up with the requisite appliances, and assimilating very much in their arrangements to the pr. , cess of cotton-spinning. One marked and important feature about Messrs. W.'s manufacture is the heckling by machinery, by which means not only is greater expedition obtained, but the fibres themselves are brought out at full length (and not in any way broken and cut as in the old process), while much greater fineness and tenuity are secured. Taese remarks apply bath to Manilla and Russian hemp. Another interesting and important part of the process consists in the improvements adopted in the mode of tarring the Russian hemp, the chief peculiarity of these improvements being that instead of the hauls being tarred en masse as previously, each particular thread is separately tarred by being drawn through a tar pan heated by steam. Thus, when the threads are removed from the pan to the bobbins, they are ready at once to be spun into ropes, whereas under the old plan a considerable time cught to elapse between the tarring and spinning process. The machines themselves are perfect specimens of mechanical ingenui7, and an inspection of them would well repay all who are interested in mechanical operations. Before giving the results of the tests, it may be as well to premise that the Corporation testing machine is of immense power. and capable of proving cables to the extent of 140 tons, though it is seldom used at that high strength. On Wednesday and Thursday, when the ropes manufactured by Messrs. Wilcox and Co. were tested, the following re sults were obtained : W. WILCOX AND co.'s MANILLA REMP ROPE. Tons. Cwts. 31 inches in circumference broke at Russian Hemp Rope, 3,......, One Strand of above Russian (31 in) .. 2 11 GARNOCK, BIBBY AND CO.'S MANILLA HEMP ROPE• Tone. Cwte. 3 inches in circumference broke at., 5 Russian Hemp Rye, 31. . Thus it will be seen' hat the results, as compared with the trial of Messrs. Garnock, Bibby and Co.'s patent ropes, shows a marked superiority on the part of those manufac tured by Messrs. Wilcox ani Co.'s patent American .machinery On the present occasion a piece of Manilla rope of Messrs Wilcox's manufacture—of 32 inches cir cumferenco—stood the power of the testing machine up to 8 tons 3 cwt , and then only one strand gave way ; while that of Messrs. Garnock, Bibby and Co., of the same size, es tested in July last, broke at 5 tons 17 cwt. Messrs. Wilcox's Russian hemp rope was now brought forward, of the same size -32 inches— acrain pre-eminent, bearing the test up to G tons 8 cwts., while M -ssrs. Garnock, Bibby, and. Co.'s was broken at 4 tons 15 cwts. A. single strand of the above Russian hemp, spun by Messrs. Wilcox, was then tried, and actu illy sustained a tension of 2 tons 11 cwts, thus proving the decided superiority of the make by the new American patent. The immense ad Ition to the strength of this rope must be attributed to the exceeding regularity of each fibre, yarn, and strand, which we have never seen equalled.
