1, THE BOMiAY MAIL.

We have received advices in anticipation of the
Overland Mail, with data from Bombay to Oct. 9.
The following is from the summary of the fort-
night's news given by the Bombay Standard:

OUDE.

General Sir Hope Grant, with the troops under
him, continue in the neighbourhood of Snitanpore,
detachments being occasionally sent out to out off
such of the rebels es chance to appear in the neigh-
bourhood. The district of Fyzabad, oonsisting of
the town just named, of Sultanpore and Scorers, is
in a great measure tranquillised. There are still
large masses of the enemy flitting about, but
taking the greatest care always to keep out of
our way. The collection of the revenue has,
all things considered, been wonderfully successful.
Most of the village assessments still exist, and the
people pay without grumbling or apparent diffi-
culty. The landholders who have been anything
like well behaved are being metered to their
estates, and the disloyal, thus seeing their hopes at
an end, begin now for the first time fully to
comprehend the very disastrous nature of
the game they have been playing. Turning to
the frontiers of Gude, we find on the 10th that
Brigadier Douglas, in command of the Area field
force, encountered the rebels from Jugdespore,
where there were said to be 15,000 at a place called
Chandeea, and defeated them, destroying about a
hundred, our casualties being nominaL A column
which left Mashed on the 22nd, overtook and de-
feated the enemy the following day, destroying 500
of them.

TANTIA TOPEE.

We mentioned in oar last that, after his successive
defeats on his flight from Jain Puttan, Tantia
Tepee had nude for the direction of Bhopal, no run
knowing, however, whitherward he proposed to
proceed. He speedily struck off to the eastward,
making for Sarongs, an old Pindaree stronghold,
built by the famous freebooter, Amur Khan, at the
foot of the Manta. On one side only was the
place of any strength, on three it was singularly
accessible. Thitherward from Ooonah a portion of
Smith's brigade proceeded without loss of time. The
detachment congaed of a squadron of the Bth
Hussars, a wing of the let Lancers, six companies
of Hill's 95th, with four light gone. General
Michel meanwhile wu to cover Bhopal, and advance
on Seronge from the westward. A. in the case
of Jalra Puttan, the rebels considered it best not
to await the arrival of our troops. As we
approached they plundered the place, and
withdrew on Chundaree, a ruined fort held
by a portion of &indite' men, captured by Brigadier
Steuart in March, subsequently re-occupied by the
enemy, and taken possession of once more by Bri-
gadier Smith in May, and made over to a native
garrison, as we could not afford to leave a detach-
ment behind us. Tantia Topee is said still to have
some 15,000 along with him. The Owalior treasure
and jewels in his hands are guarded by a regiment of
rebel cavalry. He has still four of the Jars Patten
guns, but these form all his train.

:ous.

Direct telegraphic communication has been opened
betwixt Bombay and Kaneohe., as wall as betwixt
Ceylon and the mainland. We have thus the electric
wire stretching in one unbroken aeries of lines from
let. 8 to 32 N., and from long. 44 to 97 E.
Last mail gave particulars of floods of unpre-
cedented violence on the Indite, and an earthquake
in Bengal. We have now the appearance of a
comet of surpassing size and brilliancy to chronicle.
The dry season has now fairly set in ; for the
last three nights we have been threatened with the
squall from the east known as the Elephants, and
which generally divides the south-west from the
north-west monsoon—the west from the fair season,
but even this has died away. The rainy salmon thus
far has been favourable throughout, our later rains
being still expected. Trade has been leis active
during the fortnight, and freights extremely low.

tinne at Allahabad, the Governor and Commander-
in-Chief of Madras at the Neilgherries, those of

The Bombay Times thinks that little will be done
for the re-establiihment of order in Oude until

operations, now completely suspended, ars resumed
in the cold weather. " The plane of Lord Clyde
seem to be to force the insurgent bodies
which now traverse the province mom
the Gogra into the Khairabad and Byraitch

districts ; and by a chain of oommanioations on the
military right bank or that river, shut all access to
the province against them. Should he encased
in doing this, the deadly character of the districts
themselves, and the impossibility of their main-
taining so large a body of men, will force
the rebels either to enter Nepanl, oe open
negotiations with ourselves ; and there will be
an end of the campaign in either cabs. The
rebels seem to be improving the leisure afforded by
our inactivity to strengthen themselves, and are
emboldened to ravage the country almost to the
very walls of Lucknow. Fever and dysentery are
unfortunately prevalent amongst the troops, and
we must be content to await the opening of the cold
season for any effective =wares of repression."
