Yesterday was the first time the Agra mail came in
since the 20th ult.
We have succeeded in opening a regular dawak between
this and liurnaul.
The bast portion of our Meerut European troops left this
about a week ago for Delhi. They have had two severe
engagements with the rebels. The loss on our side is,
thank God, but little in comparison to that on the enemy's
—seventeen altogether on our side have been k;lled and
nineteen wounded, and among these five, I believe, died
from strokes of the sun. 11!. Moore, of the Carabineers,
was ,aken ill while he was coming in with the wounded,
and died shorily after his arrival here A Lieutenant of
the Rifles, Mr. Napier, has had• one of his legs shot off.
Mr. Budd is out •pith the camp as baggage master.
We are still living in the Arsenal, but are a little more
comfortable now, our numbers being decreased a little.
Last evening five murderers were hanged, and the
evening before six. Some of those who suffered last
evening were proved to be Mrs. Courtney's murderers
one was the private Jemadar of the Native Deputy-
Collector. One cf these savages was undaunted to the
last ; he wished all his brothers, or rather his brethern,
good bye, and blessed them all, and told them the
Feringhees were taking his life for no fault of his ; and he
scarcely gave them time to secure the noose properly
round his neck when he jumped off the platform

Dr. Moore, of the Gth Dragon Guards, died this morn-
ing. A party of the 60th Rifles and Carabineers have
just returned from a very successful foray, having killed
some 150 of the blessed Goojurs without having a man
hurt. Five villag3s were destroyed.—Moficssilite Extra,

VOLUNTEERS' CAMP, ALLYGIIUR.
JUNE 4

Some two nights ago we made a dour to the village of
Khyr, where a Rao had possessed himself of the place and
was defying British authority. We fell upon the village
(after travelling all night) at about 8 a.m , surrounded it,
and one party entered and asked the Rao to surrender.
He at first refused ; but. on being threatened and told that
his stronghold should be burst open, he opened the doors,
and was immediately taken prisoner with thirteen of his
adherents. The little army he had assembled had dispersed
early in the morning, not expecting we should have been
there so soul. We walked by the side of the prisoner
from the place where he was taken to a mangoe tope out
of the village, where he was to be tried. Wo reached it
in half-an-hoar, when he was tried and hung for rebellion
Last evening, again, we received information that some
150 Goojurs had assembled eight or ten miles from this to
intercept the dawk. We were ordered out at once in pur-
suit, and came upon them at 5 p.m. They get sight of us
at a distance and took to their heels, and we after them
Several of them were shot or cut down- We were then
ordered to fire their villages, which some of us did by
dismounting and applying our cigars to whit was combus-
tible We then returned to Allyhger, and have not the
slightest idea of what will be our next move, The road
is perfectly safe from Agra to this

JUNE-1.

Yesterday, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, intelligence
was received of the stoppage of the preceding evening's
dawk by a body of 1.50 Goojurs nine miles away on the
Agra-road, who, when the name of Sahib log was thrown
at their t:et'a as an intimidation, boldly declared they
would show desperate fight against any party who dar.-d
attack them. We were instantly on our horses, and a
rapid trot of little more than an hour discovered to us on
the right hand side of the road our truculent enemies.
But at sight of ns their pent up courage flowed off at once,
and disperi•iog they fled precipitately in all directions,
like a herd of scared cattle. Those encountered were
either cut down or shot, according to the necessities of
martial law, but these were few. Their villages were
then fired ; and it will be long, we thin':, before our dawks
are again intercepte i by these lawless vagabond:.
Early yesterday morning we learnt that a force of 300
of the Oude Irregulars, who had mutinied and killed their
commanding officer, Captain Hayes, and the Adjutant,
were proceeding to Delhi Pia Allyghur, when hearing of
our presence, and receiving probably exaggerated ac-
counts of our strength, they made a hasty detour of some
'2O miles across country to avoid us and our proximity
altogether. What a victory, " without a shot being tired,
or any killed or wounded !"
The above story was brought by a party of their own
men, who were wise enough to leave the mutineers to the
.....,.u.tuct.,ea fruition of tho IncorlecOolo woovdt
their infatnAted folly. These men are—four Rissaldars,
one Komedan, three Difladars, and two troopars.—Jlo-
