Among the English gentlemen who have fallen
victim, by the violence of the native troops in India during
the mutiny, is Mr. Block, who perished at Sultanpcae, on the
911 of Joss, on which day the native troops stationed there
rebelled. Mr. Block was, we believe, in the Bengal Civil
Beerier. and • mon-in-law of Dr. Davey, of Nottlmage,
The last Indian 'mail, which has brought home desolation
to so many Englieh (=ibex, has conveyed also the news of
the barbarous murder of a young officer from Clifton, the
son of the lata Lieutenant-General Whisk. Mr. Whig, it
news, was murdered—literally murdored—not by • mutinous
_ .

soldiery, but by some ban thief, whose object was plunder,
end not to overthrow a foreign dynuty.

It is our painful duty to announce that among the Englieh
rarer. who have periehol in the Indian mutiny is Lout.
Bright, of the 22nd Native Infantry, • eon of Robert Bright,
KN. The regiment was stationed at Fyzabad, • town in the
°entre of Omk, on a branch of the Ganges. On the Bth of
Jane the native troops stationed there rose, and at once took
possession of the battery, but, while not allowing the officers
to approach, do not seem to have offered them any further
violence. The officers then determined to endeavour to
escape by boat, and were allowed quietly to embark.
Mr. Bright, with several other officers., including the
narrator of what followed, got into a boat and pushed
off down the river without molestation. After they had gone
ten mike, they came
,to an encampment of mutineers, who
rushed out and fired on them, and then getting into some
dingier chased them to an Island sad took three of them
prieunere. The writer says "The Sergeant-Idejor, Lieute-
nant Bright, sad I were taken prisoners, and taken to the
camp of the mutineers, who were men of the 17th and 37th
Native Infantry and the 17th Irregular Cavalry. We were
taken before the Soubatidar commanding the rebels. I don't
know his name he was a Hindus, and belonged to the 17th
Native Infantry. He wee olden men slightly made, about 3
feet 8 inches high, with grey hair, and no hair on his face,
and dark complexion. He -asked us who we were; we re-
plied. He then appealed to the Musulmano on the Koran,
and to the Hindus on the cow, not to injure us, and told no '
to go away. Two men of the 17th then stepped out and
shot the sergeant-major and Lieutenant Bright. I was
rescued by an artillerymen, and was hid in a sandal Begun-
gunge, and sent off in dieguke." It will be °burred that the
unfortunate officer was not killed by his own men, but by the '
may of another regiment. Another letter say. of Mr. Bright's
regiment The account of the mutiny of the 22nd
regiment beak any romance; they guarded their officer. and
their bungalows after mutinying, planed sentries over the
magazines and all public property, sent out picket.' to pre-
vent the servants and townspeople from looting, and held a
council of war, in which the cavalry (Fieher s Irregulars)
proposed to kill the officers but the 22nd objected, and in-
formed the officers that they would be allowed to leave, and
might take with them their private property, but nu public
property, as that all belonged to the King of Oude. The
officers uked fur boats. the rebel Commissary-Gem., a His.
adder, was ordered to provide them. He did so, but merely
small dingle*, so that they could only bring away a bundle
each, and then they were presented with 300 re., which the
rebels had taken from the tramuruchest to give them. When
the °Moos tried to recall them to their duty, they respectful"
enured them that they were now tinder the orders of their
native officers, and that the Soubandar Iffejlir of the 22nd
regiment had been appointed to the command of the station
and that each corps had appointed one of their officers to be
their chief."

A few days Rime a letter was received from Dr. 'Vaughan,
of Mitnitester, by a relative in this city, in which he says,
"My noble-hearted son•in-law, Dr. Bench, is no more. Its
and five of his personal friends were all shot in cold blood
by the mutineers at Bareilly. Mrs. B. and her sister were
net., 1 have mason to Shia, at Almon., up to the end of
June; but my heart is aasioun and heavy on their account.
We arc hoping they may get to Calcutta in the autumn and
home in the spring. If say evil should betel them 1 know
not how we are over to lift up our heads again." We are
entre the DOMICILS friends of Dr. Vaughan in this city, of
which he le a native, will deeply sympathise with him in
this unexpected calamity, and pray that his daughters may
be restored to him again in peace and safety.

COLONEL NEILL AT ALLAIIANAD.

' The following is an extract of a I;;;;ircint Allahabad,
from Colonel Neill, dated 30th June, 1857. " I have driven
all the insurgents away from about this. On the 16th I
gave them a greet smashing. Got two Fusiliers killed, sad
young Bailey, a gallant officer, severely wounded, as also
some of our men, ono of whom ham sines died ; but all will do
well, young Bailey included, I hope. I have no animals to
drag my gene, and no way of getting far out of the tort; be-
sides, the fearful heat made it sudden death to the European
soldiers to move without tents. However, what I did had
the effect of striking great terror into them ell. They were
seined with a panic. took to euanelling moon; thentselvee,
and went off, leaving the two guns they Lad got on the night
of the mutiny and many arms. It hes been a great blow.
Authority is re-established, and we have been settling down
things wonderfully. A form is to he collected here, and I
ant getting oil ready fur their movement. I Lava nut been
able as yet to send a single man towards Cawnpere. I had no
carriage, no moans of moving a men out; everything bad
Leen destroyed. The road from this to Cawnpore Is in the
bends of the enemy. No food to Le procured, as I Imes born
belplem, with Cawupore only 120 miles off to relieve it. The
awful heat, too,eme against me. Certain death, movingtroope,

virulence. Within three days there were 121 cases in the
Fusiliers alone, and 07 death.. I we. so exhaueted for •
few days, I wee obliged to lie down constantly, and only able
to get up when the attacks were going on, and then I was
obliged to sit down on the batteries to give toy orders and
direction.; but I always had the greatest confidence in my-
self, although I felt almost dying, as it were, at times, from
complete exhaustion. Yet I kept up heart, and here I am,
thank God, as well ea ever. The cholera has now entirely
loft us. It was caused by the executive filth which I felted
had been allowed to accumulcto here. I have been much
galled at not being able to pu4o on troops to Cawnpore, but
in a few hour., 400 Europeans, 2 guns, 300 Stiikhs, and the
few cavalry! have, start, and will heve to tight their way
along the road. They have to carry ell their provisions with
them. This party will Le backed up by others, which will
keep open the communication, as I feel certain it will get on

Renard in command, with orders end instructions, and if he
acts up to them all will be right."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Men Mr. Commioutioner Fine.)
'MR ROYAL SCRIM GARDENS.

Today was appointed for hearing a petition for winding up
the affairs of the above company under the 6th and 6th Vic.,
for winding up joint-stock oampaniee.
Mr. Roxburgh appeared in support of the petition, and
Mated that the company was formed in Starch, 1856, end
it wee proposed that the capital should be 40,000/ to be
rained on 4,000 Amnia of lig. each, with a cull of 21. per
share • 3,743 shams had been eutiecribed for and 3,2-56
bed been paid up, thus making a capital of 33,546/. The
undertaking was cotunicnred but entirely failed, the working
expenses being more than the receipt., and the whole
of the capital had in the words of the act been "lost, ex-
hausted, or become unavailable." The farts were verified by
the secretary, and he (Mr. Roxburgh) did not think that
under the curometanres there mut,' be any opposition to an
order being made in then...it manner.

Mr. eitapplo appeared for eon* altarsholdomt, and objected
to the petittun on the ground that the petitioner having paid
up hi* ahem., was not in & position to present a petition
vadat Ws act.

Mr. Ltostmrgh was heard In reply, and contended that if
that wee the construction to be put on the act, it would be
impossible to say who could present a petition: supposing
all the nhareholders had paid up no one could present it.
His Honour overruled the objection.
Alter inane further discussion, in which it wee urged that
en adjournment should take place, on the ground that the
statements in the petition were not rnrreet, and that there
wan no ground for saying that the onsets were unavailnble,
Ilia Honour said, that under all the rircumntamen, hr felt
inclined to grant a reasonable delay, mu that the general
shareholders might iuire into the farts.
Mr. !Roxburgh urged that such a couree ought not to be
taken, especially as there was no affidavit, or the slightest
evidence to contradict the allegation In the petition,
end the greatest evil night be done by delay,
se an action bed been brought against the
onespsny Red judgment might be taken out almost imme-
diately. The gardens were now open and money was being
taken daily, and, therefore en official liquidator ought to be
appointed. On the 13th of August the company was nerved
with three writs, and those creditors would be entitled. pro-
bably, on Monday to other executions. The shareloAdera
could not In any way be prejudiced by the order being made.
His Honour ultimately bald that the case should be ad-
journed till Thursday next.
The directors have called a general meeting of the share-
holders fur Tuesday, the 2.51.14, to take the matter into con-
sideration.
