Since I wrote you last our affairs are getting in a
bad state indeed; the rebellion is extendiag, and coming by
inches mar Calcutta, where I rennet say longer say we are
mare. The imbecility of our governmeat has so em-
boldened the natives, that openly, and without Mamie at
concealment, all aorta of things am plotting. An Immense
concourse of blackguards of an sorts has assembled in the
town. The police teegistretee coolly pay there is no law
which empowers them to deal with such people, and the
Legialadve Council declare the law to be quite sufficient fur
all our wants. Clever Amp althea who are caught planning
sad sketching the bet, wanting end sawaring the guns,
even taking their bearings from verb= pohns, If brought
before • magistrate cannot be paahhod, but must be ad-
monished and let go. In Fort Willime an mete of rephonds
are allowed to wander about, endeavouring to open comm.
:Motion with the King of Oudot.
Lord Canning does not like severity, nor dote he like
to do anything he should do, unless driven to it; then he Ms
been implored to precision martial law, because all Calcutta
and the country •rea=d has been for some time openly dis-
affected, and of course he refuses. Mae after man is brought
to him, discovered to some treasonable correspondence he is
only to be reprimanded ; his own private Moonehee was to
have stabbed him after Meek/est one fine morning, and gets •
severe reproof, but neither flogging nor hanging. Two men
were caught in the act of hauling down the colours in Fort
William and keels; the green flag of the holy Prophet ;
this was to have been the signal for 13,000 nice young men
to make a dish at the fort. Nothing but fe•re of • mutiny
among the European troops wrung from Lord Canning the
order for their execution, which was done this blessed morn- I

we must have not simply a row, but • fight for
our very live. ; and God alone knows how we shall
get out of It. Alreedy them is • talk of send-
ing every woman and child •baud ship. Ent as
for any useful TOOSIKVIS of preparation our autho-
Atka do not dream of t►em. Our militia was a measure
forced down Lard Canning's throat, but government
have thrown every discouragement they could in its my.
The wealth and remeotablity of the community have formed
a floe body of tawdry. The poorer elms, after undergoing
all sorts of mobbing's. infantry, have got only some 660
bayonets left, the other 900 odd having resigned. Govern-
stoat now would most gladly mesa us back and make much
of us ; but it is too late ; we will fight for our own house'. and

neighbourhoods—not br them. As for turning out some
3,000 men fit to beer arum, that is not to be thought of it
would be far too energetic a measure.
Thinge up the country cannot be worm. Berhampore, only
100 mike off, with a large and population, la all
but openly In rebellion. At the Ranergunge terminus of the
railway we hear of a small army of invasion. The collieries
are being destroyed. Cawnpore and Allababad are our own
onoe more•—at least, the ruins of them. General Havelock
marched from the former place with a form of 1,800 men—
had some very severe fighting, and won his way to within
sight of Lucknow, when he was compelled by sickness and
overwhelming odds to retire ; and now may God help
the garrison them, fearfully reduced by camialtise,
vicknees, and hunger, and numbering among them near 200
women and children. Agra, capital of the North-West Pro-
VilkON, le actually besieged. Patna, with the entire provision
of opium for a year, is I her game ere now. The breeding
stud of Hisser, Kaatudeficu Boxer, and Okusepore are all
destroyed, and the berme scattered loose over the country.
At Delhi we Isirs our besieging force is cut off and sur-
rounded, end wire the Punjaub tombs with them soon, will
be destroyed. We can only gather a few crumbs of cantor
from the Madras troop. coming bare; they are euppofted
to be staunch, It not we are dished and done for ; it was at
haat a silly idea sending for them at all. No one knows the
temptations which will be laid before them to rise and maa-

There is no tun In my alluding to the horrors of rape, =ar-
dor, plunder, &e., which hioe been lately enacted—yon
see all in the papers, and the English press has been too=
liberally furnished with all that which their Indian brethren
dare not publish, for foar of the new gagging net.

Atter I had written thus far, the Shannon has come in
from ChM& with Lord Elgin and a nice reinforcement, and
ohs bring. us a protons of the loan of the whole China
force, not before we wanted it. We shall therefore, I trust,
not be exterminated this Up the country matters do
not improve; every available European has been sent to the
railway terminus, Ranergunge, with 2,000 Madras troops, to
disperse an army of disbanded &pop,. There is said to be
another collecting st Berhampore, but the Queen's 36th
•bould dimer of that, if not fettered by orders. The pro.-
;wet in Calcutta Is lively; the gun trade most active among
the native population, and I cannot trust myself le menden

Monet all business is at a etandeill, end the only
news we have is about the mutiny, which is daily assuming
more formidable proportions, and will rontisom to do so until
the arrival of some 2.5,000 men from home. The setner they
come the better, and right well may they avenge the death
and horrors to which our poor defenoskes men, women, and
children have been .objected. This I. no time far Wank=

small bungalow close to the road. There were all sorts of

were also parts of religious book.. Where the mann*
took place it is covered with blood like a butcher's
slaughterhouse. One would fancy nothing could be wane'
than this, but in the well at the back of the house are the
bodies and limbs of the poor things. I looked down end sew
each a sight as I hope never to me again. The whole of the
bodies were naked, and the limbs had been separate!. I
thought of the two Mrs. sad the three poor girls and
felt very rd. By all accounts the women were so ill4eatai
that death—even such a death—must have been walcouto to
them. I will not enter into more details. I have told you
