SOUTHAMPTON, TstasDAT.
The Colombo has arrived with the heavy poi don
of the India, China, and Australian mails.

The Colombo left Alexandria, September 12th;
Malta, 12th ; and Gibraltar, 19th. She has on board
4,8001. in specie, and a cargo of gam, silks, shawls, tte.

. _
She has brought nearly 180 passengers. Amongst
them are about sixty children. A number of the
passengers ale refugees from Delhi, Lueknow, and
other mutinous parts of India.

The Colombo is now anchored off Netley abbey;
it being low water she is unable to come into
dock. The Lady Mayoress, from London, and
the Mayor of Southampton proceeded early this
morning down Southampton Water to the Colombo,
to welcome the refugees from India, and to render
them any assistance that might be necessary.
Scores of people were assembled in the docks to
see the passengers by the Colombo land. The
scenes in the docks at the meeting of friends were
affecting in the extreme.
Many of the ladies were hurried out of Lucknow
and Delhi at the commencement of the mutiny and

do not know what has become of their husbands.
They hare eaten d great hardships; many of them
made their escape almost naked, and were nearly
starved in the jungle.
A little dog is on board the Colombo, belonging
to Colonel Goldney, whose life was sought by the
mutinous &pop. The dog is covered with wounds.
It escaped from Delhi with Mrs. Goldney, who is on
board the Colombo.

Colonel Lennox, wife, and daughter are amongst
the passengers. The colonel belonged to the 22nd
Regiment at Fyzabad, in Code: only a sergeant of
Artillery and the colonel escaped.
The passengers give a frightful account of the
state of Calcutta and the upper provinces of India.
The only troops left at Ceylon were Malays and
Sepoys. All the European troops have gone off to
Calcutta.

The fugitives report being all well treated by the
merchants at Calcutta, and supplied with money to
send them on immediately on the Colombo's arrival.
Captain Field received a letter from the Relief Fund
Committee, through the Peninsular and Oriental
Company, authorising him to render the passengers
every relief and assistance.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(TILOW OUR OWN COLINITONDEXT.)
PARIS, WEDNYSDAT EVENING.

None of the programmes of the Emperor's depar-
ture from Chalons and progress to Stnttgardt pub-
lished by the semi-official journals have been exactly
correct, changes in the itinerary having been made
from day to day at head-quarters. It is certain,
however, that his Majesty actually left the camp to-
day ; and it is of little importance whether the hour
was twelve o'clock or two. His first halt on the
railway was to be at Commercy, famous for
sponge cakes, which he doubtless condescended
to taste before or after reviewing the 7th Lancers
and 4th Dragoons in garrison there. At Nancy, the
smiling capital of Old Lorraine, 600 or 700 old
soldiers of the empire wearing the St. Helena
medal were to be assembled at the station. His
Majesty was expected to arrive at Luneville at
half-put five. Luneville is the head quarters of a
division of cavalry now commanded by General de
Orammont. Apartments have been prepared for
his Majesty in the barracks, which more than any
other building of the kind in France is adapted for
a royal sojourn, since k was formerly the palace
of Stanialas—the good king, whose memory ill
yet adored in Lorraine. A military dinner party
of thirty is arranged for the evening. To-morrow
the Emperor will review the gunison, consisting of
the 2nd, 4th, sth, and 11th regiments of dragoons,
and then, about noon, will set out for Strasburg,
where it is now said (the semi-private reception
being altogether ignored) he will be received "with
great pomp." Although some of the latest cor-
respondence affirms that his Majesty will go direct
to Stuttgardt from Strasburg, in order that a sojourn
in any other state of Germany than that of War-
temburg may not caw* jealousy, and diminish the
signification of the main purpose of his journey, I
believe be will stay at least some hours at Baden.
Baden, and breakfast with his relative the Grand
Duchess Stephanie. He will arrive at Stuttgardt in
the afternoon of Friday.
The Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by Lord
Burgher& and Colonels Clifton and Maude, arrived
in Paris yesterday from the camp of Chalons, and
alighted at the I lotel Vouillemont. His royal high-
ness is, I believe, going, or perhaps gone, to pay
visit to Lord Cowley at Chantilly.
Count Walewski, Minister of Foreign Affairs, ar-
rived yesterday at Paris from Biarritz, and has
since left for the camp of Chilons.
Count de kisseleff, Russian ambassador at the
court of the Tuileries, has left Paris for Stuttgardt.
It is stated positively that the Chilons camp will
not be raised till October 1.1, and perhaps not till
the 25th. At all events, 26,000 blankets have
just been sent there from Paris, and there
is a talk of fresh contracts for provi-
sions and forage. One correspondent writing
from the camp says that the Empress will pus some
days there after the Emperor's return from Germany.
This is not at all unlikely. The Empress leaves
Biarritz on the 26th of September, and, as that is the
day fixed for the Emperor's leaving Strasburg, it
is probable that their Majesties may have arranged
to meet at the camp.
Marshal Canrobert gave up his tent to the Duke
of Cambridge, and occupied one of a simple officer.
The Bourse has been much better today, and
bushier* was decidedly animated towards the close,
The Rente rose Sc. for cash and 30e. for account,
closing at 67fr. and 671 r. 20c. Mobilier rose 50fr.
Discounts of Mobilier shares continue to be placarded
and increase in amount daily ; 2,600 shares were
posted to-day. There were also discounts announced
of 450 Orleans shares, 200 Northern, and 100
Western. It appears that some of these operations
are effected for the account of buyers, who desire to
convert their shares into nominative ones, and to
have them delivered before the 30th instant, and
thus avoid paying the mutation duty. The railways
were all higher. Shares in the lines discounted
were naturally scarce. Orleans rose 22fr. 50c.1
Northern, 2fr. 50e.; Western, 3fr. 75c.; Eastern,
16fr. ; Lyons, 71r. We.; and Southern, 7fr. 30c.
