THE INDIAN MUTINIES.

A private letter from Tirhoot, dated June 26,
says The regiments above Dinapore at every starion but
Ohmeepore have mutinied or been disarmed, and a row at
the former place he. been expected every day, so that our
station authorities got finked, and on the 14th of this
month we were all summoned into the station for mutual
protection. Every planter wee in, and we mustered 80
strung, besides the ladies. The latter were all put up in
Mrs. Simpson's house, and we slept in tents in the com-
' pound. Mr. Msodonell, of Pools, and a few othere, stayed
at the Assistant.ludge's. Whet tanked the station folk
was that they had seven lacs of treasure there, and the
Nujjeebe had been heard to declare treason openly, and only
waited for sit outbreak at Dinspore. Davies, disguised as
• native, went at night to their quarters, and overheard
them say they would make a clean sweep of the Europeans,
loot the treasure, and let loose the gaol prisoners in a very
few days. This put the station people in a very great way.
The Dinapore regiments are kept in awe by the Europeans,
there being some 1,200 there, including artillerymen; but
for this force we should certainly have bad a row, and then
Tirhoot would have been in • blare, and our factories burnt,
as the Benares factories were. l'oor —up there is ruined,
and just award with his life ; we returned from Mooruffer-
poor this morning for good, se it is now supposed all danger
is over."
Another letter from the same place, two days later date,
says :—" I believe it is lucky we did go to the station, for
by all armlets the treasury would have been looted but for
the presence of so many Europeans, a•d in such case the
effect upon tbe Dehant might have led to seriotts conse-
quences. There were some 8.5 men and 30 ladies, with 30
or 10 children, assembled, all of whom, with the exception
of six or eight, quartered in Dr. Simpson's and Weston's
houses, the ladies bring all abut up in the former at night
and the gentlemen living in the verandas, one or two tents,
end patrolling all night. Yen may imagine how they must
have suffered, the heat being something frightful the whole
time. All of the plsntere have gone home, but the ladies
ars all at the Marion or its vicinity."

An officer who escaped with his wife and children
in a remarkable manner from the maseacre at Delhi, writes
from Meerut, Jane 26,—" Our communications aro cut
off from Agra, Cawopore, Lucknow, and all stations east of
this. We an anxiously looking out for the arrival of Euro-
pean regiments from Calcutta, se several most be well up
country by this time, but none eis yet have been heard of. A
pert of the 4th cavalry aro here. A guard of 40 trooped was
sent towards Delhi on some duty or other, and more than
half went over to the enemy. Reinforcementa are now pour-
ing in I em glad to say on our side so Delhi, and the rebels I
hear are getting disheartened at their repeated defeats, but
my opinion is that they will stand to the last, ma they ate all
fighting with halters round their necks, and will of course
all their lives as dearly as possine. Out poor brother is
in the thick of it, but has as yet, thank Clod, escaped. We
all are living huddled up together in berreelm sad tests—sot
very comfortable a you may hoagies, but as yet are healthy
—ladies, children, and all; but thews see not times to have
ladies with us, sad we would give a good deal to end thin
to a safe plain, but they cannot leave Monet at present. My
poor little bairns! it makes me vibe sad lo me them In wok
• situation ; sot that they ere aware of the danger, but area
