instance of many others—it is to be hoped that we
shall hear no more nonsense talked about the mu-
tineers being caned by officers not knowing or sym-
.

pathising with their men. The 32nd Regiment
having gone (for news has been since received that
another detachment has gone off from Rampore
Haut), there remain only two Native Infantry Corps
which have not mutinied—the Slit at Bangor and
the 79rd at Julpigore. They are many hundred
miles apart, or they would probably spare us any
speculations upon their future conduct, and even
now, the ease of the 31st is a doubtful one, for
there are rumours afloat of a disturbance at Bangor
in which it cannot be supposed they have no share.
These rumours are not confirmed,however; so, giving
the 31st the benefit of the doubt, the number of non-

mutinous regiment' of the Bengal army may be
placed at two.
In the meantime the whole of lower Bengal is

more or less infested by the rebels. The Bengal
Yeomanry Cavalry have at last been sent up to mist
in restoring order, and it seems likely that they will
have some tough work. Of the regular troops which

are sent up it has been hitherto impossible to spare
any for the protection of isolated places, in the lower
urovinces, which hays been left to take their chime.

which there is a large number already hero, will
soon put en end to this state of things, and nobody
now doubts that the great peril is past, and the greet
triumph is to come. The roar for retribution at
home has given the highest satisfaction in this coun-
try, and we now venture to echo the cry which a
short time ago it was high tress= to breathe in the
softest accents. Another sign of the times is that
Ameer Ally has left his appointment at Patna, on
leave, and we have not heard two opinions as to the
probabilities of his ever returning to his post.

The Calcutta correspondent of the Times says, in
postscript dated Oct. 23 :

' The two diriaions of the Lucknow force her',

it seems certain, effected a junction, and General
Outram has now therefore some 2,300 men with him
in the Residency. This force is strong enough to
defy any native enemy, but it is doubtful if it is
sufficiently provisioned. A desperate attack on the
Queen's palace, headed by Outran himself, seems to
have been repulsed, and the British force now re-
mains for the moment inactive. Round them
U. immense bands of armed Sepoys and pea-
santry, numbering in the aggregate at least
40,000 men. With one exception, every land-
holder in Southern Oude has declared against the
British, no thorn any dislike, for the Name men
saved British officers ; but from a desire to share the
spoils of a falling dynasty. If General Outram has
or an obtain provision' be may hold out for any
time; if not, he must cut his way to Cawnpore
sword in hand, with, I fear, frightful loss. Colonel
Greathed has gone into Agra again. Thence be
proceeds to klyupoorie, and so to Cawnporo. But
he cannot hope to reach Lucknow much before the
end of this month, and meanwhile men, soldiers
especially, must at. There is no force to send to
his aid, except this column, and the whole question
turns on its arriving in time."

of above 60,000 in the field against him ; though
with courage and management such as could be
relied upon, enough to maintain themselves in the
Residency, and bombard and cannonade the city.
The difficulties of the Residency were such that
Havelock was left no time to wait at Cawnpore for
reinforcements, and the original intention was to
have relieved the garrison, escort the women and
children to a place of safety, and then resume the
offensive. Here Outram remained with 1,500 men,
levelling the various buildings which hemmed in and
commanded them, while Havelock operated outside.
For a time the force was separated into three,
Havelock at the Balee Guard, being cut off from all
communication with Outram. They are luckily once

more reunited. On the 3rd a convoy of 300 men of
the 64th, commanded by Major Bingham, with pro-
visions, left Cawnpore, but were able to get no
further on than Allumbagh, where they left their
supplies, returning to Cawnpore without having ex-
perienced any molestation either on their advance or
return. On the 11th a party of 150 arrived at the
latter places from tho former, bringing with them a
large number of camels and elephants to swat in
carrying back again provisiep. On the 14th a
saccsd *savoy, under Major lelntyre, of the 78th
Highlanders, was despatched. He was obliged,
however, to entrench himself, when within four
miles of his destination, returning his stores, which
he was not strong enough to protect, and await rein-
forcements. Allumbagh was new occupied by about
1,000 men. The approaches are commanded by
heavy guns, and the ground cleared and exposed in
all directions to the distance of about 500 yards.
