wards Lucknow the following day."
Lord Elgin baa arrived in her Mailesty's steam
frigate Shannon, with twelve hundred marines and
artillerymen. Three hundred more are expected im-
mediately, and further very large reinforcements by

class frigates, powerfully armed. Lord Elgin landed
about 6 o'clock last evening, under a salute, and was
received with great cheering by a large crowd of the
Christian community at the Ghent.

News reached town yesterday that the little band
at Arrah are still safe. The defence they have made
has been of the moat noble character. There were 60
Sikh Sepoy's, and they, to a man, fought like heroes.
The first dwharge Wiled upwards el a mote of the
rebels. The Dinspore Artillery are reported to have
destroyed upwards of five hundred of the Scpoye
who were passing down the Ganges in boats. Five
large boats were entirely destroyed. The artillery

"14 hurried lett.w"r of the day before yesterday will have
ithesed you about my factories ; things looked worse than
dry actually were, magn!fted by idle rumour. All the Bazar
peep* Europeans I am ashamed to add, left the place;
souse have gone straight to Calcutta in dada, (Ahem to Ohs-
coopers and the Fort; the most secure place was abandoned
to the enemy, who, it is fortunate, did not know the extent
of fear they had occasioned, or they would have secured that
place and given a lot of trouble. The Stud gents, too, were
all prepared to quit, es soon as ever the mutineer, ap-
proached Bow, and they had all gathered en this
side the river, with boats laden with their traps-
ikc. With all this fear, conceive where and what
the enemy were doing I They had been for four days
beleaguering a house at Arrah, where four or five of the Euro-
pean officials had taken shelter, with only 60 Sikhs, and
thin small brave band had succeeded in keeping some 3,000 be
check, killing some slaty of the insurgents. The Sepoys are
said to have expended all their percussion caps and cart-
ridges, having left Dinapore in such a hurry that they had
provided themselves very indifferently, so that they were
little better than the rabble which had joined them. Their
force altogether amounts to about 3,000, headed by an old
fool, by the name of Salvo Koour Sing, of Jugdeespore, who
has been dreaming of soldiering for the last eighty or ninety
yeses, and has now had an opportunity of gratifying his in-
clinations, which I hope will soon lead him uplo the gallows."

The following is a copy of a letter from the
iir:rßombay:
fe with deep regret I into of the sad sad of oar

gensrons-besrted friend Cowper, mate of the steamer Ben-
ny. He gallantly volunteered his serviees to juin the puffy
of Europeans under the commend of Captain Dunbar of the
10th to rescue the Europeans at Arrsh, who are said to be
in imminent danger of their lives, on their mare&
when shoat eleven miles from Arreh they wen
suddenly fired upon by the enemy, some thou-
sands in number. It was here where one poor friend received
his death wound. This will be sod news fur his poor wife,
she is left perfectly destitute in a foreign land. I sincerely
trust the committee foe the relief of sufferers will come
forward to insist her, as I think it a fit case for their coon-
derstien.

" Captain Slam u secretary of the I. 0. B. N. Company,
should get up a subscription amongst the officers of their
steamer, beetled by a donation from their company, for the
relief of his poor divagate widow, whoa mu is truly pitiable.
Ibis generous act will add still more to his humane dirpo-
slam."
