tells us what we knew before—thet all were ruthlessly

Rifles, was killed, aid Lieutenant Gabhett, of the 61st,
mortal'y wounded.
Dissensions and recriminations between the unsuccess!'ul
lea3ers, and constant desertions among their cowed
folMwere —such are the conditions under which the rebel
army w s about to meet the final assault. That assault
would, in all probability, take place between the 7th and
the 15th of this month. Many letters from the camp
speak sanguinely of a date as early as the former of these
days, but none pos'pene it beyond the latter. At one
time it appeared likely that General Wilson, eves when
strengthened by the arrival of the heavy guns, would wait
for reinforcements from Hay,:lock in the south. Bat, as
we hoped and anticipated, he soon learnt that that spirited
1 ader had far too mach work on his hands to admit o' his
a lvancing to the north-west, and ha prepared, therefore, to
play out the game with his owe reseurees alone. Let him
but get his seige guns and mortars let* position, be woul l
crush down the enemy's fire by a storm of shot and shell,
and then, whether by breaching or escalade, he would
deliver the assault. Niw, the siege train would be in camp
by the 2nd or 3rd instant. It consisted of 32 pieces, I
am told, 24 p.amder guns and 10-inch mortars and how-
itzers. It was being escorted by the Belooch Battalion of
the Bombay army sent up from Scinde, and I believe by
the remaining three companies of the &h Foot, with can-
valescents of the 52nd and 60 la who were halted at Ker-
naul to await its* arrival Alma the same time would
come in the 4 h Paej tub Infantry, with 200 Pathan horse,
the detachment of the 24th Foot and Horse Artillery
from Peshawur, and two companies of the 60th
Rifles from Meerut, relieved by Sikh Irregulars.
Tnus the strength of the army will fully reach 11,10
men, which, as I mentioned in my list, was Sir John
Lawrence's estimate for the begienine of September.
On the whyle, then, I cannot doubt titbit my next letter
will covey to you the news that Delhi is at last in our
possess on. It the enemy make any &tend at all, we must
expect that our lose will be very considerable ; but the
slaughter of the mutineers will be terrifies, for, as may be
supposed, the troops ale in a high state of exasperation,
and it will be foiled no easy matter to control them when
they are let loose rpon the vast and populous city.
Turning back to the Puejanb, I find that area or
four more mutinies have taken place among the disarmed
Bengal regiments. You will not have forgotten what I
wrote in my last of the rising of the 26th a' Lahore, and
their almost instantaneous annihilation. Since then, on
the 14 h of Angust, the Subander-31 ijer of the regiment,
one of its jemidars, two havildars, and eight Sepoys,
were executed, completing the tale of destruction. But
in aeother and later instance retrihutien has been even
more swift, though not more deadly. On the 28 h of
Aeguat the disarmed 51st broke cut at Peshawur.
Oa the following day General Cotton reported to L
bore that out of 871 men -785 were ' accounted for,'
and that the remainder were being brought in by
twos and threes by the v'llagers and the police. At
Unahellah pntions of the sth and 60th broke away, but
were pursued, 130 of them slain. At Ferczepo e, of the
10 h Light Cavalry, which for so long a period did good
service ag .iest the mutineers, end wh'n disarm d as a
procautianary meastire offered no opposition whatever,
100 mwiaed on the 19 It of August. they murdered
Mr. Nelson, their veterinary surgeon, attempted to
possess themselves of the guns of Captain Wood-
cock's battery, seriously wounding a gunner and
hat captured and made off with many of the
horses More they coild be interfered with. But the
few men e f the 61st left at the station, and the Bombay
Fasileers, attacked them with sivage energy, and their
treason was bloodily expiated. Thirteen of those that got
away were taken at Leorliaoa, and hanged on the 28th.
At Uazarah we learn, that on the 7th of August 41 of the
55th, including seven commissioned, and as many nor-
commissioned officers, were executed; and that 43 more
had arrived, brought in by Ghelab Singh's
people in Cashmere. Thus, by the instru men-
taAty of his vario as lieutenants, and thriughoat
the length and breadth of his province, is felt the iron band
of the Chief Cowmiasioner. Sir John has been of late
chiefly at Lahore; bet on the 24th of August he reviewed
at Juilundur the em.ingent of Sikhs furnished by Ghelab
Singh's saceloor, Itungbeer Singh. They were about
2,500 strone, chiefly infantry, with a troop of horse
artillery and 24 zeimboorula's or light swivel guns, all
excellently dressed and equipped. Sir John after the
review called the officers to the front, and addressed to them
a manly and sensiele speech expressive of his satisfaction,
and promised regular pay and pensions for the wounded
and the families of the killed. Brat now, leaving these dis-
tricts, where British s tprem icy is rapidly regaieing the
ascendant, we drop down the Cringes to Cawnprre, and
appnach the point of our greatest present interest and
anxiety—Lucknow, with its imprisoned- garrison, and
women and children. I here alreade said that we enter-
taiu a hope, which we beliave to be well grounded, that the
capital ef Oade would be reached and be relieved by Have-
lock. Since writing to that eff-et this morning I have seen
the latest letter received in B from Sir J. Outran. It
it dated the Ist and 2nd inst., led entitled at Allahabad on
the latter day, and there posted. In the confluent opinion
both of Sir Jame; and of General Havelock, with whom at

her for outrage.
The consequences of the dists'rons mutiny at Dina-
pore, of which I wrote in my last, have been of the kind
that I anticipated, but are happily less in degree. That is
to say, the various stations on the river have req aired
to be provided with detei's of European troops, and so far
the Cawnpore reinforcements have been we-kened. 'But
these details are less numerous aed strong than might
have been necessary; and that would have been necessary,
but for the fact that the mutineers and rebels have not
atttempted anything along the line of the river, but are
troubling only the interior districts, where for the
present they must be let alone. You remember,
no doubt, that the mutineers from D.napore cr.ssed
the Sone and besieged the little fortified post of Arrah,
defeating with loss a detachment of the lO'h and 37th, sent
from Dinapore to relieve it. But the little garrison of
Sikhs and armed European civilians hell out gallantly, and,
as I was just able to tell y3u in my last, they were reliend
by a small force from the Barer side, under M4j mr Eyre,
consisting of a detachment of the sth Fusiliers (160
men) and three guns. After a brilliant and success-
ful action, nine miles west of Ar:ah, where the
Sepoys numbered more than 2,000 men, besides the
irregulars of a reb:l chief, Koor Singh, iEy re reached
the besieged place, and its ladies and children were sent
by steamer to Dinapore. Fallowing up his advan-
vantage, Eyre attacked K 'or Singh in his stronghold
of J igdesprne, and dissipated his levies. The Sepoys
broke up into separate bodies, it is. said, nne re-
maining wall Koor Sing ; the reo, or perhaps the
whole, adv tracing north- westward, as if in the hope, of
reaching I) slhi, had, when last heard .of, passed to the
south of Mire name, and Crossed the Tonse, a tributary of
the Jumea. There we may leave them ; their day will
soon be over. Then, again, in the districts of It ineghur
and Ciente Nageore, to th southward of Dinapore, though
the infantry corps that takes its mine from the former
lccality, as alai the detachments of Irmgalars, have
vatitinied, and the country is up to a certain
extent, still the line of the river is too remote to be
readily threatened • and, moreove a column from Ra tee.
gunge, consisting of the 53rd Foot and Madras Regiments,
which had come to that point by rail from Oslo It'a, began
to m mve up the Grand Trunk R mad on the 27th of August,
and will do much to tranquilize the country. In the neigh-

bu trine S
inthal districts 170 co it of 251 of the -sth
Irregular Cavalry mutinied on the 14 h of August, at
Bbaugu!pore, and fears were entertained far the
detachment at Rohnee, and also - for the 32nd
Native Infantry at Bowse, which has hitherto remained
quiet, but nothing untoward has yet been heard ea'. On
the other side of the Ganges to Dinapore, a station has been
abareolerl, needlessly, as some think, to the enemy. This
is Goruckpore, the proximity of which to ,Oud and
the uncertain temper of the Sepeys, had, long
rendered it precarious. The Gonkhas lent b 3
Nepanl arrived th,re. 3,r 00 strong. They were
ordered on to Azimghur, an], availing them-
selves of the escort, the collect-1r and all the European
residents of the station, carrying the treasu e and the'r
moveables, quitted Goruckpore. Over came a fellow from
Oule at once and took possession of it, hoistinr, the green
flag as Souhandar of his Majesty the King of 0 ade. 1.000
of the Goorkh'is remain at Azingbur. .TLe feet go on to
Jaunpore and to B n ires with the Giruckp .re treasure. At
Dinapore itself at unfortunate occurrence has taken place,
to which I only hope we shall not have similar eves elsewhere.
01 the nizht of the 16th of August a par), of 100 men of
the 49th Native Infantry who remained true when their
comrades mutinied were attacked, causelessly as they
assert—and truly, as remembering the affair of the ainbus-
c ide, we may fear—by a party ofb the 10 h Foot. Five
men were killed, and 11 and a w.iraan wounded. The
perpatra'ors of the deed have not been discovered, but Sir
James Out ram promulgated a general order expressive of
his horror and indignation at it, and, having to leave the
station himself, referred the matter to the Commander-in-
Chief for investigation.

Throughout the Madras Presidency and the dominions
of the Niz am all is well. It is wonderful and meg' satis-
factory that the Hyderabad county has remained so quiet.

Writing on the 314 of August, General Havtlock rep trts
that the latest accounts rtresent the Meag.tered party as

safe nod in geed spirits. 'The stories that have been car=
edited regarding their distress, their applying for terms !
(the italics and the no'e of admiration are the inCligeent
Sir James's own) were to be regarded as inventions of the
enemy. (I should menti in that we heard from native
runnels, who had reached Benares. that the inmates'of the

Outram, as I have said, gst to ARA abed on the 2ud.
He would have probably been there e oner, but delay
seems to have occurred soxewhere—perh spa from the
necessity under which he lay of visiting each of the
river stations of the Dinapore divisien, en langered by
General Lloyd's culpable mismanagetnen`—but partly,
also, I believe, from the fact of an advance ufoa Luckaow
by the River Gogra and F,z .bad, being at one time
contemplated by him, though afterwards abandoned as
impreeicable. However, on the 9 h he expected to
reach C wnpore. He had with him about 1,500 Ear. -
peens, cousisting of the sth Fusileers and the 90 h, and
a strong c 'many of Royal Artillery. This reinforce-
ment would raise Havelock's force to at last 2,000
Eerepeans. Of guns, light and heavy, there were
abundance; of cavalry, un'ortuaately, only about 40 men ;
and the volunteers horn the infantry. Havelock had ma'e,
or was making, full preplra.tiona for crossing the Ganges
directly he was reicforeed, ani for carrying the entrench-
ment which ihe enemy were observed to have thrown up
on :he farther bank. I must net omit to meation that
Outran had sent word to Havelock that he should accom-
pany him in his civil capacity only (yon will remember he
was Chief Commissioner of Oade when sent to command
the army in Persia, and that the lamented Sir Henry
Lawrence was acting for him. N for an instant eould
he think of depriving Lis brother in arms of the glory of
re'ieving the garrison, and of codapleteing the work which
he had so nobly begun.
But while waiting for Sir James General Havelock was
not idle, nor allowed the ardour of his men to cool, or the
terror inspired by his name to subsile. Ater his final
action in the Oide country, on the 12th of August, he
recrossed the river the same day, as I wr ste in say last.
On the 16. h, having heard that the mutineers had
gathered in strength at Bitheor, where he had once
already beaten them, the general took his little band
from Cawnpore and marched straight upon them. They
were animated at more than 3,000 strong, with two
guns, outnumbering Havelock'4 men in, I suppose,
the proportion of five to one ; yet, as weal, they
were utterly sad disvacefully beaten. Their Position was
carried and their two guns wane captutegf. Tue mea were
too week in numbers and too anus's exhausted by the fight,
and a march cf twelve miles in the heat of the
sun, to foiew tlee enemy fir, so they bivou.cked for the
night to the south of Bithoer, and re.ureel Ceenpore
the next day, having lost between 40 and 50 killed and
wounded. The loss of the enemy was moderately estimated
at2zo shin. Of the appalling massacre at Cant spore we
have received further and fuller accounts in the state-
ments of Lieu'enant Delafosse, of the .53e1, one of
the two officers who escaped by swimming out of the boat
that was brought on shore ani capttred after the utters
has been suns; of an ayith he the employ of a Mrs. Green-
way, one of the sufferers ; and of Myoor Tervaree, a. faith-
ful Sepo; of the Ist Native Infintry, who suffered for his
fidelity by imprisonment. According to the account given
by the latter, General Wheeler was- not dead when the
party surrendered to Nene Sahib, but was alive, though
wounded, and was in the beat which was captured.
Th4ll party thus taken consisted, he says, of fifty sahibs,
twenty-five mem-sahibs, and• four chillren. Tae sahibs
enare all shot by order of the Nene. The poor women
threw their arms around their husbands, and bagged

Wherever disaffection has shown itself in Western
India it has been stifl3(.l with unrelenting sternness,
and the authorities deserve great credit for their
conduct during the crisis, when the fl Imes of revolt
threatened to spread within our borders. As long
as the main body of the troops continue loyal
there can be no fear of the result, as we are
quite able to put down the unaided efforts of the
mob. Every important station, too, from Dharwar,
in the south, to Admedabad, in the north, has
beem secured by European troops, so that no
fear can be entertained of popular outbreaks
in the large towns.' The Motturrum, which has
generally been a period of excitement to the Mus-
, sulrnan populatien,' has passed off quietly through,
out the Presidency, owing to the admirable arrange-
ments Of the Executive for preserving the public
Peace. Her Maj sty's 89. h Regiment arrived in
Bombay from the Cape on the 11th of September,
and have been despatched to Ahmedabad and
Deese. Other regiments are also soon expected,
so that we may consider that all danger is past, and
that we shall shertly re-establish our power through-
out the country. The weather in Bombay has con-
tinued to improve, and we now enjoy a mild tem-
perature, having alternate rain and sunshine during

THEII CALCUTTA MAIL.
We take the following summary from the Bengal

"Turk fru, of the 9:11 of 'ep:etriber—
" Stventeen days have gliJed by since the last
mail left Calcutta, and if we have no great sue-

cesses to record, there are, at leas', no fresh mas-
sacres to lament. So far as we know, Delhi has

not yet been taken, and, certainly, Lucknow is yet
unrelieved, Agra still holds out, and, thanks to
the fi lelity of Scindia, it is not yet threatened;
and though the atmosphere seems charged with
thunder, the storm has not broken out afresh
during the last fortnight in any part of the dis-
turbed districts.

"When the last mail left we were entering upon
the Mehurruni—that season during which the
Mahomedans often work themselves up into un-
governablo fury. Thanks to the precautions forted
upon the Government, the dreaded week has ti led
over without the smallest attempt at disturbance or
insurrection. Mealw'oile every eye has been turned
upon Lucknow and our heroic countrymen there,
who have so 1 mg defended their position against
enormous odds. Their fate has been trembling
'in the balance. 0a the 10 ,h of July last
intimation was conveyed to Government that their
'previsions were suffi tiant to support them for six
weeks. This brniujit them up to the 22 id of
August. That day, however. approached, and there
were no signs of relief. But General Havelock,
thouq'a he failed in his attempt about that time, to
relieve Luaknow, so far succeeded that he drew the
besiegers upon his small force. This enabled the
beleagurel garrison to make a sally, which was
not only successful as to the destruction of the
enemy, but enabled them to bring in a fUrther
amount of bullocks—sufficient for about three
weeks' consumption. It was then calculated
that they could hold out up to the 9 h or 10th
of September; and it was hoped that rein-
forcements, consisting of the 5 Fusileers and 90 h
Foot, would reach Cawupore at the latest on Sep-
• ember le,and thus easily enable General Havelock
to effeot the relief of the gamiso i before the 9th.
"There is, however, an old adage that too many cooks
spell the broth. Sir Colin Campbell had not been
allowed at that time to take his seat in council, and
he therefore could exercise no cir,sctual control over
the ra,ventents of the troops. General Outram.
and the officers commanding at Dinapore , and
B mares, had all fingers in the pie, and the result
was' that thaDtwo regiments on reaching Mirzspore,
were called back to Dinapore, and then sent on
again in the Mirzapore and Al!ahabad direction- It
is but fair to Generel Outram to add that letters
recently- received assert that the rectli was in no
way, his deed, and that he disapproved of it from
the first. Be that as it may. the subject is one
which demands a searching-inquiry, and the pos
session of high office, either in the civil or in the
military department, should not be allowed to
screen the culprit. A delay of ten days wass by
this management caused at a most criticalperiod,
and, but foe the marked intervention of Providence,
must have proved fatal to our countrymen at
Lucknow. Happily, however, another oppor-
tunity presented itself for making a- sortie.

This Lime it was attended with g, eater success
than ever. More than 100 of the enemy
were blown into the air by a mine ; a 24-pr;under
qun which had greatly annoyed them was spiked
aid large supplies of provisions were secured. The
tlArrison now consists of about f)00 men, of whom
140 are in hospital ; there are also about 300 women

and children, who h ive gone through all the
dangers and hay iships of the seige, certain (for
the fate of the Cawnpore garrison had reached
them) of a cruel death if compelled by famine
or any ether cause to surrender. We may
now almost look upon their re'ief as secure
hu nan7y speaking it is quite so. General Outram,
with 1,300 men of the sth Fusiliers and 70t1'„ was at
Nilhabad on the Ist inst. They were expected at
Cawopore on the 11th ; there they would find
General Havelock with 1,100 men- and 20 guns,
some of them of large eAlihre ; and a strong convic-
tion was felt that such a fore?, urged on with
determination, would be sufficient to overcome the
opposition, great as it ',vas likely to be, waiting for
it on the L ickquw-road.
From Delhi we receive cheering intelligence
The insurgents hal commenced fi:liting among
themselves, and the•liing had transmitted a secret
message to Mr. Colvin, offering to give in provided
he was replaced in the position he ocenpied before
the revolt. It is to be hoped that this offer was
rejected with scorn. Our army occupied an un-
assailable position before Delhi, and had been
largely reinforced by the moveab'e column, con-
sisting of her M s•.y's 52 .d and a wing of the
61st, with some Sikh corps, under Brigadier
.General Nicholson, a young soldier, but one
marked out for distinction. Shortly after his ar-
