We have received our advice. from India and
China in anticipation of the overland mail ria
Marseilles, of which we have already pobliahed

telegraphic summaries. The latest data are,
Bombay, Nov. 3 ; Calcutta, Oct. 23 ; Madras, Oct.
29 ; Hongkong, Oct. 16.
(From the 13mge7 Her kars of October 22.)
Our lut overland rnmmary announced the fall of

Delhi and the relief of Lueknow. It wu sanguinely

supposed by some persons that these rummaged would
at once put an end to the rebellion. The "moral

effect" of capture of Delhi wee dwelt upon as a
great force that we had in reserve, and wee variously
estimated by ingenious calculators as equal to from
60,000 to 100,000 men. The event has proved that
we should have done well to have exchanged (had it

boa pomade), this vast advantage for soy Certain

the sumer was purchased at an immense price, as
the amounts of the killed and wounded testify. Nor
was tide heavy loss compensated for by the complete
punishment of the garrison ; for although our troops
did everything that men am do, and distinguished
theseselvee—both officers and men—by a daring and
devotion that has seldom been equalled, the immense
hem of the enemy within the walls was too much
to deal with on the spot, and many thousands escaped
to swell the tide of insurrection elsewhere. This
event, however, having been foreseen, was provided
fee; and a strong column, under the command of
Colonel Breathed, of her Majesty's Bth Foot, was
sent out in pursuit. It was anticipated that
Agra would be nut attacked by the rebels, and
the column was aecoedingly moved in that direction.

The rebels were signally defeated at Bolondahuhur
and Malamb, and received prompt punishment
wherever met. Colonel Greathed arrived at Agra
on the 10th, and encamped on the parade ground,
near the old lines of his regiment while stationed at
Agra. Everything eau quiet in camp, and the
area were going to breakfast, when some native
female, with tom•tcas, were found in the midst of
them, sad them were joined by a number of others,
ammed. A skirmish ensued, in which two cavalry
officers were killed. It was then found that some
2,000 men, with several guns, were advancing upon
the station, and these made a sudden attack upon
cantonments, in ignorance that Oreathed's force was
at hand. But though surprieed,our troops were not
unprepared. The Cavalry and Artillery were soon
ready, and an onslaught was made upon the insur-
gents, who were cut up and dispersed in a masterly
manner. Colonel Oreathed has since proceeded on
towards Cawnpore.
From Locknow the accounts are not so satisfac-
tory. After the battle of the 2,5 th alt., the force
under General Havelock was separated, and oc-
cupied three distinct positions, viz., the Beller
Guard, the Residency, and Alumbagh. Since then
it:has been ascertained that after a severe light, that
portion at the Itesideney were enabled to form a

junction with those at the Bailee Guard. But
Alambagh is dill separated, and is cat off from all

communkation with the other positions. The enemy
are said to be swarming everywhere in the neigh-
bourhood, and to be in great force on the mad
between Lucknow and Cawnpore. But, although
the communication is either cut off or rendered

extremely precarious in that direction, no par-
ticular indications of a very large opposing
force have been perceived, and it is certain
thit very soon after the relief of Lucknow,
a convoy of provisions was sent to that place from
Cawnpoes, and arrived in safety, although escorted
by only two hundred and fifty men. As may be
supposed, considerable anxiety is felt for the safety
al the force and of the relieved garrison ; but it is
evident that the position of affairs I. infinitely
better than it was, and that general Havelock's ex-
pedition has not been in vain. This is evident from
the fact that the relieving force arrived only " just
in time," and that the garrison could not have held
out. Such a prudential measure as waiting for a
larger force would therefore have defeated its ob-
ject. The place would have been relieved when
none were left alive within it. The best course to
take was the one taken. The hazard was immense, bat
the event has been favourable as yet, and we see no
reason to anticipate the worst. It was intended to
return at once after the relief of Lucknow, with the
rescued garrison, to Cawnpore ; but the difficulty of
removing the women and children—mast of whom
were miserably weak, through bad food, hardship,
and anxiety—was too great, and it was considered
advisable not to make the attempt. It is, however,
with great thankfulness that we welcome the fact,
that throughout the disasters so many have been
spared ; for though the list which we received from
government a few days ago was anxiously awaited,
it was rather from a desire to know the worst at
once than from any hope which it seemed to hold
forth. The result, however, has been more favour.
able than was expected. Many brave and kind
hearts have gone from among those which gathered
round the brave Lawrence at the fint outbreak, bat
many more have been spared who were given up
for lost.
We have said that the rebellion has not been
brought to an end by the taking of Delhi and the
relief of Lucknow. It seems, indeed, as if the few
regiments which had not revolted were determined
to make up for lost time, and chose the present
moment as a favourable one. A detachment of the
32nd Native Infantry, stationed at Deoghur, muti-
nied a few days ago, and killed Lieutenant Cooper
and Mr. Ronald, the assistant commissioner of the
district. They had previously distinguished them.
selves by particular "staunchness," having fired
upon a body of the 6th Irregulars, when
they mutinied some time ago. Lieutenant
Cooper, whom they murdered, was a model
Sepoy officer, devoted to his men, and believed
to be greatly beloved by them. He mingled with
them familiarly, understood them thoroughly, studied
their comforts in every way, and was continually
conferring upon them those little acts of kindness
which usually go further than great ones—even to
making them presents of sweetmeats and similar
luxuries. Yet these men turned upon their friend
and murdered him, ripping him up and mutilating
him in a cruel manner. After this—the crowning
