The whole of the BenMlCro;pl iiiiieernuch broke out into
open mutiny on the night of June 3. They began by tiring
all the officer! bungalows. The Post-office was fired by men
of the let Beogril Light Infantry, who plundered the transmit
chest and destroyed the record. Some European officers
were killed, bet we have not heard their mime. Tbe poli-
tical agent and superintendent 'seeped. Neemoch was left

AGRA.
Acme, Jun■ 2.—The two Native Infantry Regiments
stationed here were quietly disarmed shortly after daybreak
oa Boner =rt. This measure was taken in comae-
baring come in during the night that
Cmgr.o companies (one of each regiment) on command at
Matte. had asuthiad, seised the tremens which was to have
been conveyed that 'ley into Agra, killed one of their officers
end wounded another. The greater portion of tho men of
the 44th have left the station ; whereas, with the exception
of a very kw men, the 67th continue quietly in their lines.
We regret to hoer that Major hid, of the Regiment
Native Infantry, has been dangerously wounded in some en-
counter near llMOse.—Dthil Qanfb Eztra, June 2.

VOLUNTEERS' CAMP, ALLYOURIi.
Jut. 4.—Some two nights ago we nude a dour to the vil-
lage of Kbpr, where a Rao hadprismaied himself of the place,
sad was defying Briti,h authority. We fell upon the village
(after travelling all night) at about 8 a.m., surrounded it,
and one party entered and inked the Ran to surrender. Ile
at Met refused; but, on being threatened and told that his
atronght•ld should be burst open, he opened the dome, and
wee immisliately taken prisoner with thirteen of his ad-
herents. The little army he had assembled had dieperecd
early in the morning, not expecting we would have been
there so soon. We walked by the side of the prisoner from
the place where he was taken to a mangos tope out of the
village, where be wu to be tried. We reached it in half an
hoar, when he was tried sad hang for rebellion.
Last evening again we received information that some 150
Meijer. had assembled right or ten mile. from this, to in-
tercept the dek. We were ordered out at once in pursuit,
and came upon them about p.m. They got sight of us at
a distance, end took to their heels, and we after them.
Several of them were eYot or cut down. We were then
ordered to are their villages, which same of us did by dis-
mounting and applying our cigars to what was oumbustible.
We then returned to Mlygurh, and have nut the slightest
ides what will be our next move. The road is perfectly safe
from Ages to this.
June 4.—Ymterdey, about four in the afternoon, intelli-
gence was received of the stoppage of the preceding evening's
dak by a body of 150 0•1•Ijurs, nine miles away on the Agra-
road, who when the name of Sahib Lng was thrown at their
teeth, se an intimidator, boldly declared they would whew
desperate fight ageing my party who timed to attack them.
We were inetantly ••n oar hones, and a rapid trot of little
more than ea hour discovered to IL on the right-hand ode
owof the road, o truculent •n
emies.But at sight of us their
pmt-up courage flowed •ff it unee ; and, diapernng, they
fled precipitately In all direetione, like • herd ofseared rattle.
Thom encountered were either cut down or shot, socording
to the necessities of martial low; but these were few. Their
village. were then fired, und it will Iw long, we think, before
our dabs are again in•errapted by these leeks!. vagabonds.
Early yeateeley morning we learnt that a force of 300 of
the Oude Irregular., who bad mutinied and killed their
commanding °Mem Captain Hayes, and the adjutant, were
proceeding to Delhi rid Allygurb, when hearing of our pre-
late!, and receiving probably exaggerated accounts of our
strewth, they made a hasty detour of tome twenty mile,
acre's country to avoid u and our proximity altogether!
What a victory, " without a shot being fired, or any one
killed of wounded !"

TM ye story was brought by a party of their own men,
who were wise enough to learn the mutineers to the undis-
turbed fruition of the nut-liable ultimate reault of their in-
fatuateil folly. The... men are-4 Itiimalit ire, 1 )(melba,

Of Colutri Troup (comet:lndium In the stosnoe, on inspection
tone, of Brigedier itibbald), and of lldr. Alexander, the Com-
missioner, and other., the train has been interrupted, and
time lim been gained to remora the combustible material.
"On receiving news of the revolt of the report at Meerut
and Delhi, the two native regiments were thrown Into • state
of frightful excitement, and their disaffection, before sus-
pected, became but too apparent. T hi. excitement was leapt
up by the arrival of 150 of the mutmerre, who mimed the
night in the lines. The commending officers and the officers
of both corps believed it was impoesible that an outbreak
could be averted. The men talked openly of seising the
gnaw, sad throwing open the gaol, containing upwards of
2,000 pew nem Nor was this the worst, as it was well
known that on the arpoys rising the city would be immedi-
ately in flames, sad the men sword in hand would rush on to
plunder and to massacre, while the whole surrounding
country, attach was only waiting fur Elatedly to take the in-
itiative, would be up in ants.
" The commanding officers, and the officers and the com-
missioner, though almost despairiog of succera, yet by won-
derful assiduity and tact, succeeded in calming the men by
interview. end addresses, and in awing them by preciuthmary
measures.
Thu Irregular Cavalry displayed • fiery real, firmness
and loyalty, of which advantage wan at once taken to throw
out guards and pickets to protect the elation and defend the
gum, treasury, and gaol, while their patruls were to give
instant alarm to the authorities and their corm, kept ready
saddled and armed, should they observe the least sign of au
outbreak. Orders were tamed to Captain Mackenzie, their
commandant, instantly to increase his regiment to 1,000
sowase, end numbers who had been waiting fur entertain-
ment, were immediately enrolled.

On the appearance of the clouds of duet in thew, the com-
pany of the 3&h made a rush to their arms, which were piled
near them. The object they had in Mew is not clearly de-
fined ; but it in supposed that they were inffuenced by a sud-
den &wire to attack those within the tower. Soon after this
the 38th took poseeselon of two guns vent up to reinforce the
party at the tower; and cm this becoming known the briga-
dier adviaod all who could leave to do so, intending to fohow
when the rest had all departed. Conveyance' being in wall-

Throughout the whole of this cruel business the Goojers
appear to have been most active in the work of devastation.
Rouses were burnt and property stolen and destroyed by
them in the meet wanton manner. Bands of them were lying
in welting slier nightfall ell along the line of road twenty
miles out of Delhi, on the watch for the refuge., some of
whom were molested and would hare been robbed and per

riage, was attacked hie time., his wife receiving eon.e severe
blows from iron bound lathers and himself a sword cut on

ment, shooting four and wounding two of the runtime In
self-defence, and eventually making good their retreat to
Kurnaul.

The escape of Sir T. Metcalfe was most providential. After
being three days in Delhi after the outbreak, ho escaped into
the jungles, hiding wherever he could, and at kWh, after
ten days, ending kis way to Hanna
Several Europeans (said to number 4S) were taken to the
palace, or, perhaps, went there for protection. Those were
taken care of by the King of Delhi ; but the Sowers of tho
3rd Cavalry, whose thirst for European blood bad not been
quenched, rested not till they wore all given up to them, and
murdered one by one in cool blood.
The troopers are mid to havo pointed to their legs before
they murdered their victim., railing attention to the marks

LORD ELOIN AT SINGAPORE.
(Y OM OUR OWN CORILIAPONDRNT3
SINGAPORE, Jinn 3.

At six o'clock this morning the mail steamer
Singapore arrived here, having on board the Right
lion. Lord Elgin, General Ashburnham, and their
respective staffs. Lord Elgin remains a guest of
the governor's until the arrival of her Majesty's
ship Shannon, when his Excellency will proceed on
to China. General Ashbarnham and suite proceed
on in the Singapore to-morrow direct for Hong
Kong. The mail steamer Norma leaves for Calle at
noon to-day. Her Majesty's ship Spartan, Captain
Riede, Sir William e, Bart., is still here waiting the
arrival of the Racehorse from China to relieve her,
when the former will sail for England. The hon.
company's steam frigate Auckland is now here, but
leaves to-morrow fur Calcutta with despatches from
Lord Elgin, and fur the conveyance of European
troops for Bengal. The Chinese residents here are
quiet at present, but the disastrous news from India
has had a bad effect upon their minda, as might
naturally be expected.
