LONDON, rrizazur, OCTOBER 27.

DEttil has Ms& V, lb* statement that
the loss on both sides wad eery heary, and from the
form of expression, " Delhi was completely in oar
" power on the 20th of September," we are led to

infer that the resistance of tic mutineers Wm

&operate, and victory dearly bought. Nothing
more is known. All is lett to the imagination : the

crumbling of the walls beneath our shot, the breath-
less hush during the mustering of the forlorn hope,
the tierce struggle of the escalade, the desdly death-
ripples as the despairing foe was driven from
street to street, and from bazaar to mosque. We know

that the old walla of Delhi have witnessed a aces

which might recall to memory the days when suc-
cessive dynasties were quenched in blood within
them, but the imagination strives in vain to give

distinct form to the dim vision which pawn before
the " mind's eye," all the more terrible from its dark

Still the news that Iklhi has fallen, vague iti•

mutant of curiosity though it be, awakening in thou-

sands dhow= liars Int beloved oast be ;limbered

among the many dead, is of coat importance. The
sews of the first outbreak of mutiny among the
Sepoys reached the Chinese in Canton, through

Thi bet, days before it was made known to the English
at Canton through their ordinary channel of commu-
nication. With the same preternatural rapidity was
the intelligence wafted to l'ersia, flokhars, and all
adjoining countries. The inmost recesses of Asia
were roused by the intelligence that the monarchy of
Delhi Lad been resascitated, and that a native army
had undertaken to wrest Hindostan from the Eng-
lish. The larger the siege of Delhi was protracted,
the more was our prestige in the eyes of the Asiatics
weakened. The very last mail brought the news
that Do4T MOll maven and the other Affghen chiefs
—though there is no reason to believe that they
were ill-affected to us—began to find it difficult to
restrain the predatory fanatics of their frontier tribes,
ever prompt to join in whatever can be made to
wear the semblance of a "holy war." The fall
d Delhi will speak trumpet-tongued to all the
turbulent spirits of Asia, and tell them that the
English ruj in India is not yet at an end ; that the
Empire of Hindostan, which the skill of our states-
men and the valour of our soldiers have conquered
for to, will be maintained despite of all the secret
machinations and open mastering, of our foes. The
fall of Delhi will be more etficaciotui than many
armies to preserve our dominions in Hindostan from
foreign aggression.
Equally important is the capture of this es-

capital of India for the confirmation of
power in Hindostan. Conquered Delhi is the li
landmark which indicates the extreme western
limit of the insurrection. It may sow be looked
upon as certain that it will be confined to
Hindostan proper. Delhi stands on the extreme
western verge of this region. Immediately to the
west of it begins the country of the Rajpoots, the
most strenuous opponents of the Mogul dynasty, and
of its short-lived someway, the Maltratta Coaled.-
ration. To the north-out of Rajpootana we have the
Mahratta"--Maltratta Princes in Malwa, and Mah-
ratta peoples to the month of the Nerbudda. To the
north of Rajpootana we have haat, and Sikhs, tribes
squally hostile tothe Purlieus (the men from tbeF.aat,
as they call the Hindostasse &Toys) with the Malt-
rattas and the Rajpoota. With the exception of sante
plundering village tribes and dimmatented Rajahs,
oar opponents in this insurrection have been nin-
eteenth'', (both Momalmans and Hipbone) in Hin-
dastan or beyond it. The contingents of &HOLM.
Hots %a, and of the Kotah Rajah, which have risen
against us, are Hindastanees, not natives of Mains
The mutinous &pays in Hajpootana and /kinds
appear to have met with no sympathy from
the natives, and in the Punjaub they hays
been honed down by the natives. It is
only Hindontan that has to be re-conquered,
and by the captors of Delhi that work has been
begun. n• ghaurs of the Viadhaya range of moun-
tains have already been penetrated by the heads of
the Madras and Bonibay column'. The Madras
Presidency appears never to hays wavered; the
efforts of agitating lifoulyies, and the proclamations
of N tva Stnth, have failed to stir op the Bombay
Presidency against as. The fore. which has con-
quered Delhi is in pommies of the sountry to the
north as far ea the Himalaya, and may by this time
have re-established oontenanications on the south with
Agra, and through Neemach with Mhow. The
friendly bill tribes on the aorth, and the British
troops which have Calcutta for their bete of opera-
tions, and Allshabad and Cawnpore for their ad-
vanced posts, complete the line by which the rebels
are enclosed. The toils have been pitched all round
the game ; unless by the moat arrant mismanagement
on our part they cannot neaps as.
But premature confidence is always unwise. Ws
have no means of knowing whether the mutineers,
appalled by the fall of Delhi, will tamely throw
down their arms and offer their throats to the coat-
querm, or whether, with the valour of desperation,
they will stand fiercely at bay, when assailed in
their own homes. Though unable to cope with the
higher civilisation of the English, or even to stand
against the shock of the stronger physique of the
English in the field, we have good reason to believe
that them are dauntless and indomitable spirits
among them. The demeanour of the Cavalry Roe'
'sent disarmed at Berhampore, as described by an
English officer who was an eye-witness, proves this.
The pertinacity with which, though beaten again
and again in their sorties from Delhi, they still re-
turned to the charge, prove' this. Oude and Rohilcond
