LONDON. WEDNESDAY, DEC. li.

THE telegraphis sews fres Bombay, given in an-
other column, is the best that has moral England
from India for many a day. " T e Gegzar's Pro-
.' claination is giving general satisfaction throughout
India;" and this is not a mere high-sounding
phrase, a food hope, a partial interpretation of doubt-
ful tests. The Talookdan of Oude, encompassed
by the troops of Lord CLT DR ready to close upon
them, gladly prefer accepting the Gezira's gram to
preicieging a oontest of which they see the inevitable
end. and surrender their forts and arms. The
powerful leader LALL MADHO SING surrendered
Wm& and his stronghold oa the 10th of Num-
her. Amety, in which this chief has hitherto defied
the British power, was the strongest fort in Gods.
As daseribed to us in a letter from General Sir
Bort GIANT'S camp, its enormous area was en-
elosed on two sides by an impervious jangle, while
the other two were defended by a loopholed wall.
Within this wall wu a large space, also covered with,
a jungle, interspersed with huts, in which about
10.000 troops were lodged. Beyond this jungle
were two successive lines of rampart and ditch, the
last =closing the private dwelling of the Chief.
Amety is a maiden fortress, but its owner
lode the Queerei mercy a better refuge than
the defences which have so often defied the
Eicgs and Princes of Oude. LALL MADHO
BING'S example has been extensively followed.
The Nawab of BANDA has separated himself from
the rebel cause, announcing that he claims advan-
tage of the Queen's promise, which guarantees his
life, and secures for him, in the adjustment of his
punishment, a lull consideration of the circumatanose

under which be was induced to throw off hie allegi-
anew. This Prince was one of those who, having
resnained to all appearances loyal during the siege of
Delhi, revolted after its fell, together with the Rajah
of liTerooll6, NAI/LtIN Rao, and some other chiefs,
on observing the extreme seventy with which the
British Government was proceeding against Nawabs
and Rajahs, who were probably not more implicated
is rebellion than themselves. It would be interest-
big to know to wlat districts the concluding ear
tepee of the telegram, which announces that " the
remaining rebel leaden" have given themselves
op, is applicable ; but the general tenor of the
news is such that we may be well content to wait
he its explanation until the arrival of the mall. The
military intellisenoe from Le' rntral India is brief, but
satisfactory. We hear, sad we shall hear, of no more
battles there. TalcriA Torsi, who turning west-
ward in flight from Geoeral MICIIEL, has taken
refuge in the Seitpoorsh hills, is no looger to be re-
garded ea an active leader, sad his capture is lamest
reduced to an affair of police.

Tsa iedrement of remarkable characters from the
sphere of their former estivitiss has a strong attrac-
tion kw the seriosity of mankind. Caaittzs the
Firm In his wieseatery, Narolsort ea his islead
reek, JON/Siell WILD in his oeU at Newgatte,
Madame Leirsaatin in her prison dress, excited es
sett interest se in the full career of their victories,
or their Mass. The Aadaluaian retreat of the great
Coil:eel WAUGH, the magnificent bankrupt of Break-
s*" Gale, is not without its claims to the attention
of the inquiring mind. A flood of light has recently
been thrown as this interesting subject by the case of
Neel v. /seer, which was tried Last Monday, before
Lord Camireau., at Guiidhall. Into the merits of that
case itself we do not propose toaster. It pommels,
indeed, no kind of public intermit, except in its reba-
tion to the Great Defaulter. Mr. Nast, the plaintiff
in the action, is a gentleman who appears to have
played many parts in his time. In 18.52 he got into
trouble and the Insolvent Court, sad the list of own-
patimis in his schedule undoubtedly displays a caner
of some variety. Amongst other things he is de-
scribed es having been a druggist, a superintendeet
of inspectors of nuisances, chief constable at Salford,
townsman to a dyer, and a lodger out of business.
In 1837 this multifarious gentleman was employed
by Colonel WAVOII to manage the alum works on
the Breakage Castle estate, at a salary of 1,0001.
a year. Of mates he got nothing for his trouble.
The Cokesl bolted before pay day cams round ; the
alma works were seized by the creditors ; and Mr.
Neat. Wila turned adrift. The connexion of Mr. Sonora.
Isaac with the Colonel wee of a still mesa
disastrous kind. This indiscreet Israelite had been
induced ►y the Great Defaulter'. irresistible plausi-
bility to advance some 40,000& on the Bedington
ratable—which belonged, not to the Colonel, bat to
his stepson, Mr. CAKIW. This advance had been
secured by judgments which Isaac, with an almost
incredible fatuity, had allowed the Colonel to
borrow of him " for a temporary purpose." This
temporary purpose was, it need scarcely be stated, to
raise mosey upon them elsewhere. The Colonel
fraudulently deposited these securities with the Lou-
don and Eastern Banking Corporation, and the Hank,
of roam, held them sgainet the Hebrew. This,
at the latter end of 1837, was Neat turned adrift
from hie alum works, and !rum pat in mortal
jeopardy for his 40,0001. Renee those journeys to
the Spanish peninsula to which we are indebted for
more than we have ever before known of the Lord
of Breaks's is his retreat.
