TO THE EDITOR 01 THE NORTHERN TIMES.

• Sir,—We have read with much surprise the
article in your paper of Tuesday extracted from the
Dublin Fremin, and the remarks made by you
yesterday on the alleged " contamination and cor-
ruption of an entire cargo of virtuous girls within
the short passvbs from Liverpool to New York," in
the ship, " City of Mobile." We have no interest,
direct or indirect, in that ship ; but Mr. Were Foster
having on his return from Atnorica left in our
hands a copy of his report of the disposition he
had made of the emigrants referred to, we deem it
a duty to the public and to the friends of the young
women to place the same in your hands and to
request you to publish it entire. Whoever fabri-
cated the report you have adopted, and commented
on, instead of giving the real facts as reported in
the New York papers, was t,uilty of a gross libel
on the characters of a whole hundred of innoceL.
females, 11%1 must have given unspeakable pain to
their relatives and friends. There seems a dispo-
sition in certain quarters to get up another crusade
against passage brokers—we would advise the
Liverpool press to be cautious how it adopts every
conducted, as it may inflict, as it has before inflic-
ted, a vast amount of injury on respectable ship
owners and brokers without doing the slightest
good to the emigrant.—we are', sir, your obedient
servants, W. TAPSCOTT, & Co.

THE INDIAN MUTINIES.

THE LITTLE BAND AT NYNEE TAL.

The wife of an officer of the 29th Regiment writes to her
relet:ves at Holyhead :—" We have lost everything we
possessed, and our boxes were broken up and plundered
before us. We • aro most anxious about the Wilsons,
Saunders, Catherons, and Campbells. They had to es-
cape the back way, and make a circuit to avoid our Sepoys,
or they would have shot them when they found the tree.
sue was only two and a half lace of rupees. The artil-
ltrymen were a horrid set. They told our Sepoys to
fire upon Captain Faddy and all the officers. The Sowars
and all deserted the civilians, and they had only the
25 from Bareilly to escort them. We were to have
joined them six miles on the road, but could get no guard,
notwithstanding all the promises of our men to see us to
a place of safety; so we all deemed the Nynee Tel road
safer. 150 Sikhs would have been glad to guard or go
with us anywhere, but they would have been shot had
they attempted it. Ido not think ono man in the regi-
ment worth anything excepting the Sikhs. We recon-
noitred and kept close together before entering every vil-
lage, and formed altogether a party of 30 well mounted.
Poor Dr. II ty. Wo have just heard his fate. Mrs. Hay
is here, and when the first news of the Bareilly massacre
was brought, she gave up all hope, but was afterwards
told he was hidden by:a native in the city. This Mussel-
man at Bareilly, who has set himself up as King of Rohi-
Icund, issued an order that any native harbouring a
European should be killed ; se poor Dr. flay, Mr. R tikes,
and others, were brought out and executed. Mrs. Hay is
in a sad state. Mr. B 'swell, of the 18th, had a narrow
escape. Brigadier Mole and his daughter, Mrs. Stewart,
are here. She has only been married live weeks, an I can
gain no tidings of her husband. Nothing but trouble,
sorrow, and mourning ; when will it end ? We have lost
everything. I could not save even my mother's like-
ness."
