rota previous rates.

TELBORAPHIC despatches in anticipation of the
Bombay mail were received last week with
news from that Presidency to the 24th Sep-
tember. The BEGUK of LUCHNOW is so hardly
pressed that she is said to have offered to give
up NANA SAHIB on receiving a free pardon.
The Gwalior rebels under TANTIA TOPER and
the NAWAB of BANDA were defeated on the
15th ult. by the Mhow field force under General
Micifim, with trifling loss on our side. The
Paroree rebels were defeated with great slaughter
on the sth ult. by Colonel ROBERTS between
Gwalior and Gojerat. The enemy left 450 dead
upon the field; while our loss consisted of Lieut.
Csarczr of H.M.'s 9th Regiment killed, four
officers wounded, and four rank and file killed
and wounded. The amounts received by the
last Mail relative to the rebels from Rewah and
the Jaloun district have been confirmed. The
Rewah rebels, under PUNJAH Small and Deo
Strom, were surprised and defeated on the 28th
ult. by the police force, under Captain DENNEHY,
their leader, PUNJAH Sirrou, and about 200 of
his followers, being killed. Brigadier M'Durir
has defeated and dispersed the rebels in the
Jaloun district, on the bank of the Jumna ; and
Captain NEDHAM, with a body of Sikhs, has
overtaken and defeated the rebels who had be-
sieged Rusaareh, in the Ghazepore district, with
a loss of 20 killed and 59 wounded. The Etawah
rebels have been driven out of the fort of
Burreh, their head-quarters, with considerable
lou, and a strong body of the rebels in Rohil-
cund has been defeated at Sinpoorah, with the
loss of their guns, ammunition, and camp
equipage. Major H. Baowxx, 2nd Punjaub
Cavalry, lost his arm in this engagement. The
disarmed Sepoys of the 62nd and 69th Native
Infantry and the Native Artillerymen at Mooltan
mutinied on the Slit August. They attempted
to seize the guns, but were driven back and al-
most totally exterminated. The Adjutant of
the Bombay Fusileers and four artillerymen
were killed in the outbreak.
From China we have accounts to the 24th
August. Canton was quiet, and KWEILIANO,
one of the Commissioners who negotiated the
treaty of Petcheli, had been appointed Commis-
sioner of that province. The insult offered to a
flag of truce at Namtow had been avenged by
the destruction of the forts by the British
squadron, the town itself having been spared at
the earnest intercession of the inhabitants. In
the operation against the forts Commander
MADDEN, of H.M.S. Sanspareil, was dangerously
wounded by the enemy's fire, while Captain
LAMBERT, of the Royal Engineers, and Lieut.
DANVERS, of the 70th Bengal Native Infantry,
were killed by the accidental discharge of the
guns of their own men. Admiral SEYMOUR had
returned to Hong Kong from his visit to Japan,
and Lord Etaili was expected to return shortly
to Shanghai, in order to meet the Chinese Com-
missioners who are to arrange the new tariff.

The French Government are said to have oon-
ditionally accepted the mediation of a friendly
Power in the dispute which has arisen with
Portugal respecting the seizure of a French
vessel in the Mozambique Channel on the sus-
picion of being engaged in the slave trade. The
Toulon squadron is said to be fitting out against
Morocco for the purpose of obtaining satisfaction
for the assassination of the Vice Consuls of
France and Spain at Tetuan.

The KING Of PRUSSIA, by a royal decree dated
the 7th inst., haa charged the Parwca of
Pausal*, as Regent, with full powers, according
to his own views, until the re-establishment of
his Majesty's health. The PRINCE has accord-
ingly aasumed the Regency, and has convoked
Ow Chambers for the 20th inst., when he will
take the oath to the Constitution.

THIC news from India is of a somewhat start-
ling character in the amounts given of fresh
mutinies in the Bengal regiment.; but the
statement of the simple feet, that these de-
sultory insurrectionary movements were instantly
crushed—with the infliction of terrible punish-
ment—creates no surprise at all. Snah an event
must occur in the inevitable oryter of things.
When the rebel', flushed with partial suooeues,
a great amount of plunder, and indulging the
spirit of revenge, failed to maintain themselves
In the strongest fortresses of India, it must be
incredible Ignorance and infatuation alone which
led the native regiment. in question to attempt
anything so utterly hopeless as a revolt, in the
face of a palpable and universal failure of their
cause. That they had been beguiled into this
desperate course by the representations of cer-
tain emissaries of the NANA and some other dis-
affected chide, there seems to be no doubt; the
fact only chews with what desperate tenacity
thou most notable rebels still cling to what
they may madly consider as their last chance,
or to the determination of prolonging to the
utmost that state of disorder and rapine to
which they have devoted themselves. Turning
to the Gwalior fugitives—with whose complete
dispersion it gives us great pleaaure to find the
name of an officer especially dear to the men of
Dorset, General lalionst—we see at once, if
any further proof were needed, how vain and
utterly powerless are the efforts of these inane-
gents when directed against British arms. They
are not, however, to be altogether despised, for
at the moment when they were encountered by
General Mionst they were a victorious body,
fresh from the defeat of certain of our native
supporters, and laden with considerable spoil,
and. large store of guns and ammunition. The

native forte we hare met with during all this
servile war, The troops of the native Riklako do
not oars to oppose them they easily gather the

the attics that lie upon their line of flight, and

General Hussars they fled southwards, captured
the treasure, the guns, and the city of the
Rajah of Jhalra Patun and then, moving to-
wards Bhopal, were met and defeated by General
Milian, who retook nearly all the guns, and
again dispersed the fugitive army. There is a
mountainous district south of the scene of this
battle in which these mutineers will perhaps
find refuge, and where they might probably be
blocked up. Even in It. flight and It. dispersion
this body of mutineers has exhibited a fertility
of resources and a choice of leaders which make
it very desirable that they should be entirely
broken up. It is satisfactory to know that
forces are being directed from several quarters
upon the district they no occupy. What has
been aociomplished in India by indomitable
British courage, and what remains to be done,
may not be better summed up in a few
sentences than in the following observations of
our contemporary :—" We have broken, dis-
persed, and utterly disorganized a force which
was sufficient in its integrity to hold 150,000,000
of people in subjection, and to defend their
country against any outward enemy. We could
not kill them all. With vivid recollection of
their treachery and their atrocities we still say
Heaven forbid that such a tremendous immola-
tion should stain our history ! We must kill a
great many—we have killed a great many ; but
we may hope to drive a very large portion back
to the occupation of tilling the earth. This,
however, will only be gradually done. The
first process is to break up the organized armies,
the next is to hunt the guerilla parties ; these
will naturally subdivide into gangs of robbers,
and with constant pursuit these again will gradu-
ally melt away ; the members of these gangs
will find robbery a dangerous and unprofitable
business, and the land will then assume it.
former aspect of peace and security. This, how-
ever, is a process. The end is only to be gained
by a succession of labours, and we cannot expect
to see it attained at a single coup. The news
just received is precisely what might have been
expected under the circumstances, and we may
be thankful that we have not to set against our
many small successes one single reverse."

DORCHESTER PITCHED CORN MARKET, Saturday.
—There was a good attendance at market to day,
and a large supply of wheat. Farmers commenced
asking an advance of from Is. to 2s. per quarter,
which checked sales. A limited trade only was
done, at prices rather in favour of sellers. The
supply of barley was again large, none but the finest
qualities finding purchasers at from 365. to 405.;
inferior samples remained unsold at the close of the
market. Oats in better supply at rather eariier rates.
FLEET FARM. —Sale of Stock —On Thursday last
twelve hundred South-down sheep and other farming
stock, the property of Mr. Tucker, of Fleet Farm,
was sold by auction by Messrs. Baker and Ensor.
The attendance of agriculturists was large, there
being upwards of 300 present, the railways from
Somerset and Hants serving the convenience of many
of these parties. The sheep offered were not of a
very large size, the farm being a poor but healthy
one ; nevertheless, there was a brisk competition
throughout, and they brought from 28e. to 34.. 6d.
per head. Four hundred lambs averaged over 20s. 6d.
each. We must not omit to mention that at one
o'clock the company sat down to a very excellent
repast, replete with every description of the best
meat and fowl, accompanied with a liberal supply of
spirits of the finest quality, the whole set before the
guests in a very superior manner by Mr. James
Yearsley, the well-known landlord of the Burdon
Hotel. It is also just to say, that the sale was con-
ducted by Messrs. Baker and Ensor in their usual
quick and business-like manner ; while the lots,
nearly 200 in number, were sold to the satisfaction
of Mr. Tucker.
DORCHESTER AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The
ploughing match in connection with the Dorchester
Agricultural Society is to take place on Wednesday
next? upon Wolveton Farm, by the kind per-
mission of Mr. W. Mayo. There are thirteen

to take the chair at two public meetings, to be held

LONDON ('Fry MissioN.—The annual meeting of
the Dorchester Association of the London City
Missionary Society was held at the Tovrnhall, on Tues-
day last. There was a large and respectable attend-
ance, the Rev. H. Moule presiding. The Chairman,
in opening the proceeding of the meeting, gave an
interesting account of a visit to some of the lanes of
London, in company with one of the society's mis-
sionaries, and said the society had claims upon all his
hearers in consequence of the influence which Lon-
don possessed over the whole country. He then
called upon the Rev. A. Handley to read the report,
which stated that there had been collected during
the past year, ending Jim. last, £7O 16a. 7d., whioh
was warmly sufficient to pay the expenses of the
missionary employed by the association, his salary
amounting to £7O. The rev, gentleman stated that
he hoped be should have the happiness of reporting
at the next anniversary that they had come back to
the amount that had been subscribed when the
association was first started in Dorchester, and that
they were going forward in the good and blessed
course. The Rev, J. Perkins advocated the claims
of the society, and stated that much good was being
dons in the metropolis by the army of 350 men in
the employ of the society. The Rev. T. Tyrall, the
deputation from the Parent Society, then addreased
the meeting at great length, and gave some interest-
ing facts of the society'a operations in London, He
said that great efforts had been made by the society
among the cabmen of London, and that missionaries
had been appointed for the purpose of bestirring
themselves among this class of men. The Rev. J.
Noel offered a few observations, and after some
remarks from the chairman the meeting separsted.
A collection was made at the door which amounted
to 47 17s.
