BOMBAY GOVERNMENT SUMMARY.

The following telegram was received at the Foreign-
office, from the British Vice-Consul, at Trieste, Sept.
20, 2.45 a.m. :

DELHI.
The mutineers made great preparations for an attack on
the 31st of July, the eve of the Bukree Eed festival, but
nothing occurred beyond some desultory skirmishing.
On the evening of August Ist they attacked the right of
the British position, and maintained the contest through
the night, and up to the afternoon of August 2nd. Our
loss was very slight—ten killed and thirty-six wounded—
the men being kept well under cover. Captain Traveri,
32nd Native Infantry, serving with the Lokos Rifles, was

On the 6th of August the enemy's cavalry, supported by
artillery, attacked the Metcalfe-house picke', but not in
any force. Lieutenant Brown, 33rd NJ., attached to the
Kumaon battalion, was killed ; Lieutenant Venion, ar-
tillery, and Lieutenant. Temple, Kumaon battalion,
wounded.

THE TRESS, OCTOBER 8, 1857.

On the 7th of August, skirmishing, with cannonades
at intervals. A powder magazine of the enemy ex•
ploded this day, with a loss, it is rumoured, of NO
lives.
On the Bth of August, a battery, constructed by the
mutineers to enfilade our guns, was destroyed. Skirmish-
ing was kept up during that and the next three days. Our
troops suffered very little.
On the 12th, guns established outside Cashmere Gate
were attacked by a force under Brigadier Showers, and
after a sharp contest taken. Limey consisted of one 24.
pounder howitzer ; two 7 and one tl pounder. Our loss
was severe, 112 killed and wounded. Among the wounded
were the following officers:—Lientenant Sheradff, 2nd
Fusiliers, dangerously; Brigadier Showers and Major
Coke, severely; Lieutenant Lindsay, Horse Artillery;
Lieutenant Mansell, Engineers ; Captain Oreville, Ist
Fusiliers; Lieutenant Owen, Ist Fusiliers; Lieutenant
Jones, 70th Native Infentry,
Brigadier-Oeneral Nicholson arrived in camp on the
Bth of August. in advance of his force. His troops were
expected on the Dith, and all would arrive by the lath, on
which (late the army before Delhi would number about
11,000 men. Further reinforcements, it was computed,
would, early in September, increase our numbers to 15000
men. It is generally expected thlt the assault on the city
will take place on the 20th of August.
The King is reported to be sending his Zenana to Rho-
tuck.

The following form the official summaries from
the Presidencies :

ATM.

All well at Agra, Cawnpore, and Lucknow. The greatest
anxiety is felt regarding Lucknow. General Havelock,
after crossing the Ganges, defeated the enemy at Oonor on
the 30th of July. On the 3lst he attacked the enemy in
a very strong position in the town of Busserat Gunje, and
again defeated them with great slaughter, and took all their
guns. His own loss was eighty-eight killed and wounded.
He then retired on the Ganges, his small force being bur-
dened with sick and wounded, and with the captured ar-
tillery. On the sth of August he again advanced towards
Lucknow, and gained two more victories. On the sth and
on the 12. h he found the enemy strongly entrenched in
their positions, and numbering 50,000 men. Finding it
impossible to cut his way to Lucknow in the face of such
a force, General Havelock was compelled to retire to Cawn-
pore and to wait for reinforcements. In the meantime,
the position of the gallant garrison of Lucknow is most
precarious. Major Banks, who has acted as commis
sioner since Sir H. Lawrence's death, has fallen,
but the date of this melancholy occurrence is not stated.

The (hots above stated are drawn from newspapers
and private letters, but they are believed to be
substantially correct. No official account has yet been
published.
BENGAL.

A party of the Rerapore mutineers has besieged Anal],
and a detachment of her Majesty's 10th and 37th
Regiments, advancing to relieve that place, was drawn
into an ambuscade, and suffered very severely. Arrah has
since been relieved by a force under Major Eyre.
