THE ARRAII MASSACRE AND EXPEDITION.

The following details respecting the massacre and
expedition to Arrah are taken from the Homeward
Had from India and published in London on the
16th instant. In the government despatch the place
is called "Arrak." This confirms the news which
we gave exclusively in the Express of yesterday.
Since our summary and the other portion& of our new.-
paper were in type, intelligence of the gravest and most
painful character has reached us. This intelligence is of a
nature to modify to a very considerable extent the opinions
we have expressed as to the general character of the news
received by the present mail. As we believe it to be
authentic, we should be wanting in our duty as journalists
if we refrainei from making it public., though we
appreciate the anxiety it will occasion to many of our
readers, and deeply regret that we are at present unable to
satisfy their impatience by a more detailed account. It
appears that the mutineers from Dinapore, after quitting
that station, advanced against Arrab, a large civil
station. twenty-five miles west of Dumper°, the resi-
dents at whi.th place were unfortunately sanguine of
their ability to resist an attack for a time, and are said
to have applied for a detachment of European troops, in
place of adopting the more prudent course of a retreat.
The result was that the whole of the European. at the sta-
tion, to the number of about fifty, were massacred. This
disastrous event woe enmeeled by another. Two steamers
had been despatched with troops for the relief of Arndt one
of them grounded, and we have no further information re-
epecting it; from the other a body of two hundred European
troops were landed, and fell Into an ambush, where nine
officers and upward+ of • hundred men are said to have
been cut off. Tho importance of these events considering
the commend they give the mutineers of the li
ne of commu-
nication between Calcutta and &CMS, cannot but bo obvious
to every one. This intelligence will perhaps serve to explain
to our readers the report which has appeared in a leading
journal regarding the fall of Agra, the similarity of the names
having probably led to the mistake.

In Thornton'a Gazetteer of India we find the fol-
lowing :

Mini, is the British dlstrict of Sluthabad, Presidency of
Bengal, a town on tits route from Diaspora to Ghazepore,
twenty-live miles wost of the former, eaventy-five east of
the latter. Supplies and water are abundant, the surround-
ing country being fertile and well cultivated, and a large
and beautiful Isla being cl no to the town. There is a
government school hero. According to Buchanan, the town
contains 2,775 houses.

PARIS. WIDNEtiDAT ETEXIXO.

A telegraphic despatch, which arrived here yes-
terday from Constantinople, announces that Ahmed
Fethi Pacha, Grand Muter of Artillery, has been
replaced by liarbarouf I'acha. Ahmed Fethi
was the Sultan's brother-in-law, and for several
years exercised considerable influence over the mind
of his Majesty Abdul Medjid.
A letter from the camp of Chalons of the 16th says :
The fourth of the swim of grand manwarree took place
yesterday, and wan favoured by most delightful weather.
The troop. in these serious teatimes are acquiring a remark-
able degree of preciaion. Officers and soldiers, encouraged
by the presence of the Emperor, comprehend the import ince
which their sovereign attaches to their instruction. To-day,
his Majesty, accompanied by Mental Valliant, Marshal
Canrobert, and General d'Angely, and his aides .de-camp and
orderly officer., inaugurated the branch line which unites the
camp of Chalons to the Strsaturg Railway. Thia branch,
which I. 2.5 kilometres (.bout 16 miles) in length, has been
executed II Rhin the space of two month. by the Strasburg
Railway Company, who were eager to respond to the wish
espreesed by his Majesty to have • tepid and easy commu-
nication with the camp.
_ .

M. I. Pereire his been called to the camp for the
purpose of giving the Emperor some explanation as
to the situation of the Bourse, and more especially
as to the great fall in Credit 11Iobilicr stock, safr. in
the course of two days.
M. E. Percire arrived in Paris yesterday. The
gravity of the situation at the Bourse is no doubt
the came of his return.

The following suicides took place yesterday :—A
young man, about thirty years of age, was found
hanging by the neck to a tree, at Bagnolet ; papers
found on bins showed that his name was Prevot,
and that he was a native of Montbeliard. The body
of another young man, who had blown out his
brains with a pistol, was found in a part of the
Bois de Boulogne called the Fond de Neuilly ; Bfr.
50e. was found on him, but ho had no papers to
show who ho was. A man named Douche, of the
Rue du Pare Royal, was found dead in his room,
having put an end to his existence by the fumes
of charcoal. A young woman named Palmyre, of
the Rue Creffulbe, and a married woman named
Quentin, of the Faubourg Montmartre, committed
suicide in the same way, the former from disap-
pointment in love, and the latter because her hus-
band, from whom she had been separated six years,
would not consent to a reconciliation. A young
woman named Roux jumped from a window of the
secoud story of the Hospital Lariboisidre, and was
killed on the spot; she was labouring under delirium,
said to be caused by a disappointment in love.
Three sudden deaths also occurred yesterday ; one
was of a compositor of the Pays, named Liegeois,
53 years of age, which took place while he was
working at case; the second of a man named Goe-
bert, as he was passing along the Faubourg du
Temple; and the third of a man named Lambert,
in the Rue do Bievre, as be was locking his door;
all three deaths were caused by apoplexy.
The Mbatq, in a summary of Indian news, reflects
on the probable movements of General Havelock
after the relief of I.ucknow ; it likewise expresses a
conviction that the garrison of Agra has met with
the sad fate of that of Cawnporc. The following
are the views of the Dikes:

General Havelock is stated to have retaken Ladinow on
the 31st July. It is not difficult to anticipate bis future
movements, for they aro traced out by the very nature of
events. Haring wept the enemy from the both banks of
the Ganges, be now will either proceed up the left bank of
the river and mom it in the direction of the Jumna, above
Delhi, or he will return to Agra, and, after relieving the
unall garrison of the fort, will proceed directly along the
banks of the Juniza to Delhi. But although the official
English despatch represents Agra as still holding out, we
have reason to believe that this intelligence will not be con-
firmed, and that the heroic garrison hiss been destroyed, along
with the women and children under its protection.

The Unicers continues to exalt over the difficul-
ties of England in India, and gives expression to the
following sentiment :

Wo were always aware that the Anglo-Indian empire was
not. eternal, nor even of long duration, and we now bear
witness to the jaw ice of God. This lessen will prove advan-
tageous to all. As 'fur our hopes, we do not conceive theta
to he chimerical ; whatever may happen, England cannot
fail to issue highly weakened from the struggle—a result we
desire with all our heart.
Galignani announces that 7,446 fr. have been re-
ceived at its office as the first subscription to the
fund fur the Indian su°•crcrs. Amongst the con-
tt ibittors is Mr. Thackeray for I,oootr.
