village close by, When they were immediately at-
taked and dispersed, and the place destroyed. On
returning to Agra, the force was taken charge of by
Colonel Riddell, who marched on the 14th, in the di-
rection of Allyghur and Soluudshuhur, with the view
of watching the movements of the rebel chief Wal-
leedad Khan, who was encamped, with a large fol-
lowing, on the left bank of the Ganges. Here, united
with Major Eld's detachment, they were to push on
to Mynpoorie, where the Rajah had been trouble-
some. On the 17th they reached Secundra Ran, on
the Grand Trunk road. Beyond this our informa-
tion does not extend. On the 19th November the
Allyghur detachment, under Major Eld, moving up
the Katcha Ghaut, and finding a body of the Rohil-
mind insurgents on the opposite bank, opened fire
on them, killing 28 and wounding 30.
SHOWERS' COLUMN.

The accounts of the operations of Showers'
column contained in our last, extended to the 31st of
October, when, having swept the country round, a
little breathing space was required at Kanoud. From
this he returned to Rewaree, where a subadar and
company of the Guides were in charge of the town.
Showers next marched on Goorgaon, twenty miles
from Delhi, where the main column halted. A detach-
ment of the Cerabineers were from this sent off
to Farrualcauggiar, where twenty rebel troopers
were taken and shot. They had hitherto been
skirting the hills—they now entered them, and
passed through a range of fine valleys, flanked on
each side by elevations from three to six hundred
feet in height. The object weal to punish the Mar-
war mountain tribes, branches of which extend in
this direction • long way from their customary
hones. The villages were burned, and the rebels
shot in all directions. They found the uniforms
of European soldiers, of officers, and of Sepoys
in profusion everywhere—proof sufficient of
the share the mountaineers had taken in the revolt.
The column returned to Delhi on the 9th. It started
again almost immediately for Meerut, on route to
Bewar, where the enemy were said to be mastering
in strength.

In the beginning of the month, Colonel Gerrard
as ordered to make a demonstration towards Re-

wares. By the 13th ho bad reached &mond, in pur-
suit of the Joudpoor Legion, said then to be at Nar-
neut. Ile was joined on the way by a detachment
under Captain Stafford, when they attacked, and
after a severe encounter defeated Ike thousand of
the enemy, capturing all their gnus, six in number.
The enemy advanced to meet to about eleven o'clock,
and the oontest lasted till late in the afternoon, when
the Seri on which they rested was captured at sun-
set. Our loan amounted to about seventy killed,
CoL Gerrard amongst the number.

Many Of our readers may not understand the per-
port of the above despatch from Government about
the cannonading in the direction of the palaces ; the
object of the cannonading may in consequence be
quite unintelligible to them. Being, however, well
acquainted with Lucknow, we (Hurkares) are
enabled to explain that the palaces consist of a group
of buildings called the Makes, or the residences of
Wajid Ali Shah's 300 wives. These palaces stand
between the Dil Bloom; (Heart's Delight)
and the Martiniere, at present in the oc-
, enpation of Sir Colin Campbell, and the Belly.
guard, or Residency, in the occupation of Sir Jamas
Outram,is thus placed between two fires, and has to
be driven from the Mahal', after which the force under
Sir Colin Campbell will join that of Sir J. Outram.
Though these palaces are an extensive structure of
brick walls and houses, they are of very weak con-
striction, and would soon crumble under a cannonade
of shell and round shot.

DELHI.

The doomed city, though no longer the mom of
our anxieties, continues the centre of activity in the
North-West. It is here, the chief scene of rebellion,
where the sternest vengeance might have been
looked for; and here unhappily, we find that
mawkish humanity which every Englishman
condemns, and every native ascribes to fear,
most prevalent. It is said that the unwise or-
ders of Mr. Colvin, Wiled when his once powerful
mind was failing him, had never been cancelled,
and that a timid dread of responsibility had
disabled the local authorities from thinking for
themselves, or rising to the occasion. The first
manifestation of this was in sparing the life of the
King of Delhi, and the princes who were shot were
so dealt with to prevent a rescue, or they also might
hays been spared. The hoary royal traitor now occupies
the palace, has a guard and retinue assigned to him,
and insults the British officers who visit him. liis
youngest son, a lad of eighteen, has, on the ground
of his youth, been declared innocent, and tr►-
verses Delhi on an elephant of state, with
a couple of English °Boars in his train.
A military commission has meanwhile been sitting to
obtain formal legal evidence against men caught
in the fact. Twenty-four of the junior members of
the royal family, having been convicted on evidence
that might h►ve satisfied a Chancellor Eldon, were
on the net hanged all together; and if we are to

extinguish the mutiny, and convince the insurgents
that we are not at all afraid of them, we must con-
tent ourselves oocuionally with presumptive evi-
denee, or strong moral proof. Your murderer seldom
bungles his work so as to leave living witnesses to
testify against him.

with a squire, an inexhaustible puree, and a magic ring,

the public are warranted in regarding. it sea mistake,
however innocent may be the intentions of the pub-

truth, I would go a good way round to avoid suck •

an idea of it. And to their explanation I would
reply that those who have read the accounts
in the newspapers are just those who would avoid
seeing the print, while a picture attracts the
eyes of the ignorant and brutal in the street
who are precisely those who are likely . to
be morally injured by the spectacle. Considering,
on the one hand, the increase of the wife-beating
proportion of our street passengers, whose imagine.
tiOfts need no instruction in the art of tormenting ;
and, on the other, the relatives of those who have
died in India, I think Messrs. Ackermann will agree
that • sufficiently large element of society ought not
to see the print to induce a withdrawal of it. We
can all decline to read such a story in its details;

BERNE, JAW I.
The trial of the Neufchatel prisoners is fixed for
the 19th. A deputation of Neufchatel royalists has
gone to Berlin to ask Prussia not to go to war.

more and more credited. The hopes of peace are
maintained. Considerable earns of money continue
to be subscribed.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Coblentz, of the 29th ult., in the
Colognes Gazette, says:—" The Prince of Prussia
yesterday assembled on the Parade the whole of the
oaken of the troops in garrison at Cologne, and in-
formed them that, in consequence of the complica-
tion/ which had arisen with Switzerland, Prussia
found herself in a very serious position. He
congratulated in advance the troops who were to
take part in the expedition. Among thee, he said,
whom he saw around him were many whom he had
already seen fighting bravely, and he expected from
them the same military virtues in order to give fresh
triumphs to the Prussian arras."

ENJOAII EVENING.

The funds to-day sustained again a reduction of
per cent., which is ascribed to further sales in anti-
cipation of the approaching settlement, dud for the
Bth inst. The market was also somewhat prejudiced
in the afternoon by news of a decline at Park, where
a similar influence is in operation. Apart, however,
from a few speculative sales, whieh will tend to di-
minish the pressure incidental to the settlement is
Consols next week, the market shows considerable
steadiness of character. In the other departments of
the Stock Exchange there was no decline of moment.
Although the heavy liabilities maturing on the 4th
have to be met to-morrow (Saturday), the discount
market to-day showed no pressure. In exceptional
eases transactions still take place a trifle below the
Bank minimum. In the Stock Exchange money
oommanded 6 to 6 per cent. on Government securities,
but was in less demand.

TURKEY.

The Constantinople mail, arrived to-day, brings
news to Dec. 22. At that date the Persian ambas-
sador had not yet sailed for France, but all his pre-
parations were made, and be wu to embark in the
Rosland on the 22nd or 23rd at latest. Lord &d-
-eli& (we are citing a French correspondence) had
made some new attempts to induce him to postpone
his voyage,rind held out the possibility of an arrange-
ment ; but his counsels were not to the taste of
Ferakh-Khan. Persian news is anxiously looked for
at Constantinople. According to the latest intelli-
gence, the Persian troops had pushed on beyond
Herat, and it was thought that they would advance
still further They met with no resistance on the
part of the natives. The Shah's government seemed
much disposed to come to an understanding with
England. It has already declared officially in the
Gazette that the presence of English vessels in the
Persian Gulf would not be considered as an act of
war, and that no opposition would be made to the
landing of the English.
The Conference, convoked to approve definitively
the firman relative to the Principalities, will meet
on the 23rd.

There has been a talk within the last few days of
replacing Ahmed Paeha, the Grand Muter of the
Artillery, by Nana Puha, Governer of Broussa.
Bat the project has not been followed up.
The Pays says:

Pursuant-to sijarrangement between Ramis and ths Otto-
man Porte, the Bulgarian families who emigrated during the
late war bare jut been authorised to return to the Ottoman
territory. These families, in whose welfare the Sultan takes
particular interest, are la number about AOO. limed Bey,
who has been sent into the Dobruclecha on an extraordinary

with everything of which they may stand In need.

BELGIUM AND ENGLAND.

The commercial protectionists of Belgium have
adopted a comical way of expressing their detesta-
tion of England and free trade, in a prooession,which
passed through the streets of Tourney, at the Mid_
Lent festival, last week. The English nation was
personified by a huge big-bellied figure, a sort of
Gargantua the Great, with vast open jaws, devour-
irg all sorts of food in moot unconscionable quan-
tiies, whilst a lumber of other figures, representing
the other nations of the world, stood by, starving.
Tie car of Perfide Albion was drawn through the
town, with much vulgar and vociferous derision, con-
veying Lord Manyrfort, as the representative of our
country was nick-named, who was made, every
quarter of an hour, to stop and swallow a heap of
victuals, bread, meat, poultry and rabbits, butter
and cheese, and other commodities, of which an
Engliohman, like the native of every other country,
&ewes to consume as much as hr wants.
After exhibiting this spectacle in front of the
houses of several leading advocates of free trade,
the mob proceeded to the river Enema, and, with
cries of "A Craw ks Arsplaisr they precipitated
their awkward plaything into the water. The eat-
ables, however, which Lord Mangefort had left,
were put by till next day, when they ware distri-
buted amongst the workpeople of a flax mill, the
owners of which establishment are said he have
the expenses of the exhibition, The

THE EXHIBITION OF FRENCH ARTISTS.

To-day will be opened to the public the fourth
annual " Exhibition of Works by French Artists." We
make this announcement with much pleasure ; both
on account of the praiseworthy character of the
Exhibition itself, and of the intrinsic merit of the
works of art it yearly eels before us. The present
Exhibition contains am hundred sad seventy
pictures ; and after a easeful examination of all
of them we have came to the agreeable con-
clusion that there is not one to which the word
"bad" could with justice be applied. The
liters of " genre " are in great force; in

THE AUSTRdLIAN MAIM.

News of the safety of the Australian steamer,

day, end mug have delighted many families. How low the
