TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1E57.

THE DAY'S NEWS.

On the 20th of September, 1851, the battis ,of the
Alma took place, and the British completely de-
leated their enemies. On that day three 37,ars,
viz., Saturday, the 20th of September; IK7, the
British force proved triumphant before Delhi; for
by the telegraphic despatch received at the foreign.
Office yesterday, and published in this day's paper.
that city fell into the hands of the English troops
on the day mentioned. - We by our rem arks•some
time since,-led our readers to believe that such an.
event would shortly take place, hut were not ..,at all
prepared to receive the news at so early a date.
Such an occurrence might have taken place on the
date alluded to, as by the middle of Septernhcr it
was expecte," that fully Ikon British troops r.7ould
be in the vicinity of the besieged inhabitants. Of
the importtnao of this triumph, if it is really the
fact, little can be said at present. It will, doubtless,
have a very dielleartening effect upon the ruutinee,:s
in the interior of the Indian Peninsula. Bat wLen
we take into account the heavy loss which he
English have -sustained at the assault, and -the
arge number of troops which will be required to
hold such an important position snd prevent its
re-capture, 1174 shall gain but little in the way of
disposable troops for service in 'the disturbed
districts, in which, we are sorry to find, the spirit
of rebellion appears to be speedily assuming
greater proportions. The indications of the
turbulence which it is averred has been
shown in the Bomber army so late as the I's-h
Sept. is a serious set cff against the fall of Delhi,
and, taking the whole of the telegraphic despatch:
received at the Foreign-ollice into account, we do
not auger a speedy termination of the Indian
troubles. In Upper Scinde there were serious
disturbances on the 23rd of September ; this
-shows that the mutineers were not much die;
heartened by the fall of:Delbi, if they tad receivei;
the news of that even', but it is not likely that such
could have been the case. We are still without
information from Lucknow, which is, after all,
quite as important a place in the eyes of English.
men—not, hovever, in a wagetical point..of view—
as even Delhi itself, This may b 3 accounted for
in the intelligence we may expect to receive before
the news by the Pekin and the Nubia are ex-
_

hausted. such is a summary of the intelligence
from India received by the: Foreign otii3e.. ,Many
people are inalined to believe that in the main the
facts are not stated correctly,.and it is looked upon
as extraordinary that news of the fall of klelhi
should reach Suez one month after such event.
We have to- lay to record a fearful amount of
crime—murders, suicides, and,robberies are fear-
fully prevalent. On Thursday Jaat, Mr. Ellis, a
Scotchman, was shot dead near Ternplemore,
Tipperary. Mr. Ellie, who wan agent to Mr
Trant, of Dovea, had purchased coma property in
the niiignbourhood of the place above mentioned,
and it is supposed that his murder has some con-.
nection with that circumstance. Mr. Ellis rented
the farm of Meeliek, near Mountraellic't, in the
Queen's County, and spent the greater part of last
Thursday there. He proceeded per train one
Saturday from Maryborough to Templernere, where.
he arrived aafely in the evening. and was on his
way. to D ,vat when he was met by a man armed
with a pistol. The aasassin, on satisfying himself
that ha had found the person whom he looked for,
discharged the contents of the weapon in the .region
of the unfortunate gentlernan'a hear'. It is said
that other individuals besids the murderer wer,-)pre-
sent at the lima. On Saturday a min named B aker,
gardener t031c..T. Maisters,Register-hwase,B3verley,
cut the throat of a fellow-servant, a woman, and after-
wards attempted to commit suicide, lay cutting his
own throat. The woman is deal, the sui.ide nearly
ao.An attem othas been made to murder Mr Braddon,
a magistrate, in his hedroam, at his country seat,
Blockland, near Piym uth. About two o'e!oek, the
Servants were aroused by the ringing of their
master's bell, and the nook having alarmed the
butler, he found Mr. Braddon lying with Ida face
covered with blood. His son was then called, and
the family for some time considered that an artery
had burnt. Shortly after, however, the pantry
window was discovered to have been Forced, the
drawing-room poker, in a bent condition, w.-53
found lying in icle the front door, and the door
unlocked. These evidences of the intrusion o!'
burglars were unfortunately aonfirmed on a suraLal
examination of their victim. One of Mr. Beaddonas
eyes protruded from the suaket, and his temples

exhibited two blows, laying open the skull bone,

which was fractured. The wounds and the shock

. _
lead tiarown him into a state of insensibility, from
which he recovered to yin- ;his bell. We
regret to state that there i 3 .ver.y prospect
of his surviving. Some snsp-.cion rests on a man
of Swiss extraction, efilled
,JAtnes E tudiste, who,
about Iwo or three years since, was taken into the
service of Mr. Braddon. We have also to record

the death of Major Warburton, M P. for Harwich,
who destroyed himself on Friday miming, about
eight o'clock, at his residence at Front,.byshooting

himself. A surgeon was sent for, but could-render
no assistance, as the unfortunate gentleman ex-

pired almost immediately after th 9 fatal, act was
committed. We are unable to give any further
particulars at so short a notice. An invest will,
of course, be held on the body. It maybe unkumn
to many of our readers that the deceased gentleman
was a brother of the late Eliot Warburton, whose
untimely fate is so well ',clown to them. •
Sir Barrington Reynolds has declined the office
of First Naval Lord of the Admiralty, in suevasion
to Sir Maurice Berkeley, who has resigned. It has
now been offered to Sir R. pandas, who was
appointed to th 3 command of the Baltic &et when
Sir Charles Napier vas recalled. There seems
to be no doubt that Admiral Dundas will uuder

take the duties, iu which clse he will eater upon
them forthwith.
