SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

A SPECIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS,"
containing the results of the day'. Room, is pub-
lished every evening during the Sporting Season, at
mix o'clock.

Trig relactanoe of a Commaader-in-Chief to un-
dertake a hot-weather campaign in India is easily
audentood. The march must be during the night,
whew the darkness and the oondition of the roads
render the progress extremely difficult. During the
day it is impossible to bear the scorching sun .
and even in a tent the heat and the storms of dust
and clouds of insects are scarcely tolerable. India
is not the country in which pipe-clay and routine
can be permitted : even the time-honoured red of the
British moldier must give way to some lighter and
more seasonable material. The Commander-in-Chief

himself most condescend to forego his cocked hat,
laced coat, and trousers, for shirt-sleeves, tartan
waistcoat, and moleskin trousers. Perhaps,
however, the most striking proof of the
difficulty of moving an army, even under
circumstances where promptitude and celerity
are of vital consequence, may be found in the
fact that 10 English miles is the day's march
now ordinarily performed by the troops under
Btr Couie CAMPBELL. This seemingly slow ad-
vance—whieh, however, is not slower than
usual under similar oonditioni—is due to the
necessity of liking an enormous convoy of pro-
vision' along with the troops. Marches have indeed
been perfiirmed much more rapid, bat then it was
through a country in which the force could be cer-
tain of obtaining supplies. Unfortunately this does
not appear to be the case in those districts through
which Bir COLIN is moving. According to most of
the accounts the population is hostile to the British :
and it has been observed that the country people do
not bring into camp their fruits and fresh provisions '
as might have been desired. Perhaps it is not sur-
prising that the people of Rohilcund should exhibit
their traditional hatred of the British: but it must
be remarked that even in the neighbourhood of Be-
Dares the country people are reported to have recently
raised sunken boats to aid Roos fitno in his Hight, and
the police who watch the fords of the great rivers are
shrewdly suspected of conspiring in the escape of
the chiefs If, indeed, it was certain that the people
of India had become permanently alienated from us
—if every village and every ryot were determined to
oppose a dogged resistance to our rule, as the Spanish
peasants opposed the rule of NiroLsor the GMT—
there would unquestionably be grounds for the most
merlons alarm. But what is now happening is only
what might have been expected, and which we our-
selves always anticipated. The belief of the natives
in our omnipotence has been rudely shaken—the
atrocities which we have committed upon Hindoce
and Mahometaus in revenge for the atrocities which
they have committed upon Englishmen, have in-
spired a feeling of hatred and alarm which will take
long to eradicate. Moreover, to the natives our
supremacy still seems doubtful ; it is not yet ap-
parent to them who is the stronger ; and until
this is clear beyond a doubt Asiatic populations
are slow to take a side. Such being the case,
it is not surprising that the country people
should hang back, and even exhibit that feel-
ing of hatred and opposition which is not without
its alarming select. Nevertheless, this is not the
time to shrink ftom the teak which his been under-
taken. Central India and (lade must be eusqusred;
and the people of those countries must learn, from
oar *ties and moderation, that their condition
leader a British rule is better than under any other
goversoes

The tint thing to be done towards this desirable
consummation is to disperse, and, if possible, =milli-
Ms, those muses of inutiareers who still threaten the
country. At present they seem principally two: the
one body is at Bareilly, the other is near Calpes.
By the last despatches of Sir Hron Rose be wee
about to start from Pooch, north of Jhanai, on the 4th
of May, for Boonch, about 40 miles west of Calpee,
when be intended to bring the enemy to an action.
Later intelligence informs as that the °tenni has
betually succeeded in his task, killing 000. His
oldest now will be to reach Ups,. This will not
be diMeult, lbe he will have the aid of General
WIITLOCY, who on the 20th of April occupied
Beada,sens 70 miles south-east of that town. That
done, the while of Central India will be chased of
may organised rebel force. Strong posts will be se-
tablisbed between the Jumna and Bombay. The
villages mast be protected, and traffic mut be secured
by keeping moveable columns patrolling tha great
toads, and having detachment, continually ready to
crush the slightest attempt at organising a rebel
force. Let us now turn northward towards Barailly

ina.t.'s object Deems to be, if possible, to destroy the
natineers collected there. The letters just reeeived
eertalnly throw a clearer light on the CowIIAWDEL-
to-auts's design, and on the mode in which he
renew te teary that design into effect. Berealy
is the centre of a series of roads from every quarter
--earth, south, east, and west. Judging from the
aseenatte, Sir Comm proposes to march upon 13.16117
lis four columns. On the 16th of April, Brigadier
Jonas, with law nighnents of infantry, one regi-
ment of cavalry, and some artillery, craned the
flanges at Hardwar, more than 130 miles north of
Bereilly, and marching south-east, occupied Men-
ref/abed on the 25th. This, which may be termed
the northern Dolmas, has evidently been oadwated
with conahlepabie skill. The crossing the Ganges at
