LONDON. FRIDAY, SEPT. 18.

Ox the receipt of the first anticipation of the
Bombay mail by Cagliari, men congratulated each
other oo the cessation of massacres in India. It
was fondly anticipated that we should hear of no
more such appalling tragedies as had been enacted
at Delhi, Cawnpote, and elsewhere, at the first out-
break of the mutiny. This belief was rudely shaken
by the report of the events at Arrab, published (ex-
elusively) in our evening edition of Wednesday,
which is now confirmed by the brief statement of
the second Telegram from Cagliari, and the more
detailed account in the Homeward News. With
the assistance of some preliminary notices in our
able and indefatig►ble Bombay correspondent's
letter of the 13th of August, we will endeavour to
present our readers with such an account of this ad-
ditional massacre as the materials will admit of.

Suspicions having arisen of the loyalty of the
three Regiments of Native Infantry stationed at
Dinapore, on the 25th of July they were, not dis-
armed, but merely ordered to surrender their per-
cussion cape. Even this half-measure wan not im-
mediately enforced. They were allowed several
hours to make up their minds as to whether they
would obey ; and it is stated that during the
interval, General LLOYD, and several of his
officers, amused themselves by a 'visit to some
Tempel on the Ganges. The wavering soldiers
were thus leg with arms in their hands, and
with the means of using them, to struggle
against the fear of punishment, which con-
sciousness of having lent their ears to the tempting
insinuations of incendiaries might well engender,
even though they had not further compromised
themselves. Not unnaturally, they settled the
matter by marching off en man*, no attempt
having been made to detain them. They
advanced along the Grand Trunk Road, thus inter-
cepting the communication between Calcutta and
Reaves, and cut down the telegraphic wires as they
passed along. By this time General LLOYD had
muttered resolution to start in pursuit of them, with
the 10th taer.ex's Foot and a battalion of infantry.
The passage of the mutineers across the Sone is said
to have been impeded, the river being in flood, and
an engagement is understood to have taken place
between them and their pursuers. Of this part of
the story, however, nothing has reached us beyond
the curt, vague statement in the first Cagliari Tele-
gram, that the 10th had shot down GOO of the
mutineers. Discomfited or not, the mutineers
ultimately succeeded in crafting the Sone,
and reached Arrah, an extensive Civil SLIM
tion, about twenty-five miles west of Dinapore.
Herr the civil a/none., either from a deficiency of
water-carriage, or because they over-estimated their
own power of resistance, instead of retreating, had
applied for a detachment of European troops. Before
the succour' could arrive, seventy-five of the English
residents at Arrab (according to one account, fifty
according to another) were massacred. Nor did the
mischief stop there. Two steamers, having on board
160 men of the Qt ZEN', 10th, and the same number
of the 37th, were despatched from Dinapore to
Anah. One of the su amen grounded ; the men on
board the other were incautiously landed, sur-
rounded at night by the rebels, and defeated
with a loss of 147 men and nine officers.

These events necessarily occasioned a state
of great excitement at Benue., where the
number of European troops at the station has been
kept low with a view to forward es many as pos-
sible to the front, and where the minds of the loyal
population had been previously disturbed by reports
of the bearing of a native corps which had been
deemed loyal in a collision with the inhabitants of
Aximghur. There has also, it appears, been a
massacre of officers by the Irregular Cavalry at
Begowlie. Thee• painful events, though they add
to the number of deplorable casualties which have I
been occasioned by the mutinies, cannot exercise any
decided influence on the ultimate course of events.
There may be a temporary interruption of the cons-
municatioo between Calcutta and the disturbed dis-
tricts by the Great Trunk Road but the Ganges
remains open to the English. That great highwiy
cannot be closed against us, and the prospect of a
cartoonede from steamers carrying guns, and filled
with troops, will impress the inhabitants of all the
great towns and cities on the beaks of the river
with a wholesome caution.
The Telegram received yesterday from Cagliari,
at the Foreigu•of&r, and our own Telegram from
Trieste, eolith ms the intelligsrooe contained in a letter
from Bombay, which appeared in the whole of oar

yeeterday's impression, that General HavwLncu
had found it elpedient to fall beak upon the Ganges.
He had been induct d to take this retrograde step,
partly with a ♦iew to secure all the guns he had cap-
tured, and partly for tl.c purpose of placing in security
his sick, who had bccn considerably increased
in number by the prevalence of cholera. An im-
pression appears to have prevailed in his army that
he would be obliged to remain at Cawnpore tiU he
was joined by additional troops. This renews our
solicitude about the fate of our countrymen and
countrywomen s►at op in the Itesideney at Luck-
now ; but we know that no efforts will be spared by
General HA VILACI to which a deep religious smog
of responsibility can urge cm • brave and ablecom-
mander.

These events, in Oede and in Behar, justify the
opinion we have expressed, that the rising tide of
mutiny is not yet on the tarn. But the beginning of
the relax cannot be far distant. The disarming
of the Govitimon-GEsen,u's body-guard must
not be interpreted to mean more than it really
does. It is simply a prudent precaution on the part
of the Calcutta Government with the prospect of
the celebration of the frost of Woburn= before
