THE DAY'S NEWS.

We publish, this morning, full details of the
India news. They entirely confirm the tele
graph report of the brilliant successea of 'General
Havelock over Nene. Sahib, and utehe,ppily also
the report of the butchery of Ifeetropeans at
Cawnpore. Some few of these, however, who had
been concealed by their native serrantse eacaped
It is now tamest certain. that the
atrocious miscreant, Nene Sahib, the ringleader of
the conspiracy, the murderer, not °rely of the
fugitives, who might have expected protection at
his hands, hut also of those whe, confiding in his
deceitful and treacherous promises, had 'capitulated
at Cawnpore, and had expiated his diabolical
effeuces by an act of self-murder—all his
family, according to Eastern custom, being
involved in one common destruction. This is
a striking example to the rebels. It shows that
the man to whom they chiefly locked as the
bead of their confederacy, the acting chief of the
future Indian Empire, bad totally despaired, and
avoided impendirig justice by an act-of self-immo-
lation. This rests on no doubtful authority. It
is colitained in a despatch from the camp of the
gallant Havelock, in which it is stated that, after
the unopposed destruction of Bithoor, the rebel
leader had at first contemplated going to.Lueltnow,
but when he came to the river, finding himself de-
serted by his cavalry and infantry, he had drowned
himself with all his family. It is a positive relief
to the national mind, says a London evening co-
temporary. to know that the career of this san-
guin iry ruffian has been brought to a summary
conclusion. " There was not a single redeeming
feature in his character. The blackest trea-
chery was added to the most fiendish
cruelty. His victims were those with whom
be had previously associated, and for whom
he professed sincere friendship—whom he
bad promised to protect, actually pressing them
to seek reeugein his fortress at Bithoor, where they
would be s.fe from any outbreak ! And yet it was
by his orders that they were consigned to the
most horrible and heartrending des ruction."
Advices have been received of a late date from
Delhi, and a decided change is manifested in their
tone. The British held their ground gallantly,
awaiting reinforcements without the elightest dew
cline of their confidence. The operations against
the mutineers had been completely successful ;
ru
defeat. The very latest cffieial despatehes from
Bombay states that the mutineers at .Delhi were
evidently becoming exhausted. A report current
in the metropolis within the last fewdaye that Agra
had been surrendered is shown to have no foundation.
In the abstract of the official intelligeaee by way
of Bombay—which we print in anetheanalumn—
a very complete view is given of the progress of
affairs throughout the disturbed provinces. A
report reached Bombay, just as the mail was being
closed, that an affair had taken place at Arrah—
a town between Dinepote and Gezipore—hetween
400 men of the Queen's 10th Foot and another
regiment, the mutineers. The detachment is said
to have been overpowered by the superior number
of the rebels, and forced to retreat with a loss of
mine officers and 147 men. Rumour added that
47 Europeans had been previously murdered by
the native troops, but whether at Arrah or Dinapore
does not appear.
The West Derby Ceiardians held their usual
weekly meeting yesterday, but no business of
importance was transacted, except that in rela-
tion to Dr. Nevins. The committee.appointed to
consider the letter of that gentleinan in relation
to the midwifery cases, have reported that in
cases of difficulty he is to attend, but as this at-
tendance will entail upon the Union at,expenee o
20s. to 40s. in each case, the guardians ,have not
gained much by their discussion.
The other local news does not call for comment.
At the police-court, yesterday, Mr. Dermiel Flynn
was fined in the sum of 40s. -and costs, for selling
lour unfit for human food.
Of Home news there is little or none to-day,
The Indian Intelligence is absorbing a.ll the
attraction, and we will now be inundattle: with
letters from correspondents, descriptive cf the
events in the East. It is now confidently denied
that Mr. Sullivan, the British Coned! at _Lima, has
stet his death by assessination. He lead .been
severely wounded, but when the mail left, •Leawas
'.not dead.
A meeting of the creditors of the Surrey
Gardens' Company was held en Tuesday toight.
A feeling in favour of the amicable atustment.of
.existing differences appeared to prevail; at least
we judge so from the absence of abusive; epitlrets
and personal recrimination. The meeting Ad-,
journed without arriving at any practical result.
In London, the policemen are making a eousitd?e
against the itinerant newsmen, now that that'
have induced the magistrates to interfere with the
poor shoebkcks, and they think that they wilt put
down the criers of e second" and " third editions. 1
On Tuesday; a brace of these worthies was appre
hended by an efficious policeman for being drunk
tad creating a dieurbance in the street; hat
really their offence was that of selling copies of
the " third editions," and bawling their contents, ,
perhaps somewhat incorrectly. within the'
aristocratic precincts of St. James's-square,
to the annoyance of 4` the members" of the
' various cluba" The magistrate very properly
lismissed the charge, but before he talked about
hese men being " great unisances" he should
.emember that many a poor fellow who is now
turning an honest livelihood by selling daily papers
n the streets would otherwise make his appearance
n the police courts in a much less inATensive
iberaeter then that of a street newsvendor.

There is nothing of inter,st from the Continent_
!he Emperor Alexander arrived at Potsdam on
(onday afternoon, where he was received by the
'rince of Prussia, the Princes Albert and Charles
'rinee Frederick of Holland, the Grand Duke of
Icsklenburtz•Schwerin, the Elector of Hesse
ad the Duke of Nassau. Field Marshal
laron Wrangel and other generala, the Baron
in Manteuffel, and the other ministers, the corps
iplomatique, and the municipal authorities were
lso present at the reception. The Alexander
renadiers formed the guard of honour, and were

reviewed by the Emperor, who afterwards went on
to Charlottenburg•
The Pays states, on the faith of a letter it has
received from London, that Lord Canning had
directed some of the reinforcements recently ar-
rived at Calcutta to proceed immediately to Bombay
and Madras. Should this intelligence prove true,
it ca❑ only be construed into a wise precautionary
measure adopted by the Governor-General ; but
the Pays of course will infer that it betokens a
spread of the revolt in those Presidencies.
The Paris Moniteur describes a third grand
review at Chalons, commanded by the
Emperor and Marshal Canrobert, which
took place on Saturday afternoon. The
Emperor has left the camp with his suite for an
excursion in the neighbourhood, after having re-
ceived a deputation from the town of Strasburg.
It is said that his Majesty has signiied his inten-
tion of visiting Mentz and likewise Frankfort, in
the course of his visit to Germany.
This paper also announces that there is no 'foun-
dation for the report of the formation of a Foreign
Legion in the pay of England.
It is said 'that Prince ;:,:tpoleon will visit London
in October, and witness the launch of -the Great
Eastern.

The mak,rity of the great proprietors of Mel
davia h ►ve chosen Unionist candidates.

We-publish. this mormiog, the memorial of Pro-
fessor Silliman and forty-two others, electors of the
State of Connecticut, to President Br..;.thanan, in
reprehension of his course -on Kansas affairs,
togethar with the raply of the President, in defence
of the position he has thought proper to assume.
In view of the circumstances which have Galled
out this correspondence, the letter of the President
assumes an importance which will insure its
attentive perusal.

THE Mom:roma have lately held conferences in London
openly advertised, and known to the authorities. That they
have been permitted to do so is a great scandal to a Chris-
tian country pretending to be governed by laws for the
protection of the people. We would not interfere with
any man's conscientious religious .belief. The Jew and
Brahmin should have full license from us to worship after
the fashion of their forefathers until it was the will of
Providence to release them from their error. Persecution,
it has been well said, makes its victim either a hypocrite or
a martyr. We would not assail any creed—but we would
crnsh gown Mormonism, which is altogether an imposi-
tion and a cheat, levelled at the chastity of women, th
morals of man, and the property of both. As blas-
phemous rogues we would shut the mouths of its
elders and professors from disseminatdisseminating their lewd and
dangerous doctrines. We think the law as it stands is
strong enough to punish and suppress the vulgar and
obscene ruffians, who, with a coarse imitation of
scriptural phraseology, broadly and unblushingly preach
vice. We have laws against indecent publications—
against the betrayal of z women against conjugal
infi laity ; bat these men, iu their solicitations,
outrage propriety in every particular, and advocate
concubinage as part of their system. Our judges have
often boasted that the Bible is portion of the common
law of England. If so, how is that law administered
when, in the face of day, such principles •can be
broached. People are bad and ignorant enough when
left to the pramptings of their own natures, and it is
the duty of those who are in authority to guard them from
the demoralisation of the teachings of studied villains. In
America, their victims, chiefly drawn from these islands,
are counted by thousanJe. Divided by great wastes from
the honest portion of the inhabitants, to whom their con-
tact would be pollution, Brigham Young and his
.horrid
assgeiates celebrate the orgies of their disgusting union.
There, the plundered and deluded creatures who have been
enticed away with stories of patriarchal simplicity, and
a life of sech unselfishness, that the goods of all are
common property—find murder, and lust, and rapine, the
real articles of that earthly pandemonium. The President
of the United State;, has avowed his intention of
blotting out that foul spot upon the character of the
country under his administration ; and a large army
will ere long be sent to rescue the unhappy beings isolated
there. Yet whilst we ted the United States roused to
such energy, we are shocked wi h the spectacle of the
prop tgancliste of such infernal doctrines, labouring un-
molested in the metropolis to degrade their dupes to the
commission of the same enormities which hronoht merited
destruction upon jhe Anabaptists is G rmu,iv. The
authorities seem unwilling to interfere with anything
which is traLsacted under the pretence of a creed ; but
here, we repeat, the shallow artifice should not misl-ad any
one. These men are the advocates of crime, and as such
their teachings and solicitations should be promptly
stopped, and they themselves punished with the strictest
severity.—Cork. Paper.

SWOT CRUELTY AND EVRIPEA.N VENGEANCE.—TIie
following is from a young el:leer in the Ist Bengal
Fusiliers (Europeans). It is dated from Camp Race, 20
miles from Delhi, Juse 5, 1857 : —Yesterday we hanged
five brutes who had W-treated some ladies who wcte
escaping from Delhi. The poor girls went to the village
begging water ; they chaffed them, asking them if they
would like it iced ;' refused to give them water, stripped
them of their clotheF; and when they went down on their
knees begging these beasts to give them something back,
they throw them an old native petticoat. Thank God,
we caught these black devils. A court-martial was held,
aad twenty minutes afterwards I got an order to bring
out my company to keep order at the execution.
Onta of these men was an awfully repulsive brute,
and his rope broke, and he tried to escape, bat I had six
men with guns loaded close by the gallows, and he was co
sooner down than I sent a man up close to him to shoot
him through the head, which was done. We jammed them
into a grave. Hiadoos hate being buried : they liked to
oe pitched into a river, and they think they will not go
to heaven if buried. All the niggers were in an awful
funk. There are• twelve more brutes to be hanged to-
night; Since I wrote last, another massacre hes taken
place at Delhi cf some poor women w'ao were found Lil
in a cove. The details are m-sst horrible, and I swear by
Heaven, if T. am not shot before I get into Delhi, no
one shall get quarter from me, r,or from the c
pany I command. A sepoy was knocked over by ono
man, and ached we came op to him he was sitting up, the
whole of the lower part of his face shot away, and hanging
in one bleeding .mass over his )react. He was yelling
with agony. One of our men went no to shoot tim, hut
the rest cried out, Let bins be, remember bow they
tortured our people, Bill.' Bat I could not stentl the
.sight. I sent a men .up, who, shooting Lien through the
temple, put him eu; of his agony ani sent hilt to his last
account."

HEALTH OF LONDIN DURING TOM WEER.—The present
return indicates an improved condition of the public
health. The deaths registered in London in the week
that ended on Saturday (S.vtember 12th) were 1,023 ;
during seven previous weeks they rose in three instances
above 4,200, and the lowest weekly number was 1,081. If
the average rate of mortality, derived from deaths by all
eauses (except th 3 cholera of two epidemic seasons) as
they occurred in corresponding weeks of the ten 'years
147-56, had prevailed last week, the number of deaths
would have been greater by 128 than that which is
actually returned. Diarrheet continues to decline, and
last week the decrease was more decided than it has
recently been. The deaths from this disease, which in
the two previous weeks were 193 and 181, hive fallen to
144. pert the last fortnight the mean weekly tempera-
ture
was about 60.5 dpg. being less by 5 Begs• and 6 deg,.
than it had been in the latter half of August, and less by 8
dega. than it had been in the great heat of July. Of the
144 deaths from diarrhoea, 115 occurred to children; and
of 9 deaths from cholera or " choleraic diarrhoea," all
occurred to very' young children, except one. Eight
deaths are referred to dysentery, and these also, with one
exception, occurred to young persous. The deaths from
scarlatina rose to 44; and of these 31 occurred in the west
districts, and 9 in the central. Of 89-from typhus and
common fever none occurred is the _central 4istriuts.

Smallpox was fatal in only 2 oases. One person died of
intemperance, one from want of food, one from grief, one
from a wound received in dissection ; a lascar (in the
Dreadnought ship) from scurvy. The deaths of five
nonagenarian's are included in the returns, viz., two
women who died at the age of 9J years, two widows at the
age of 94, and a spinster who died in Bow,at the age of 97
years. Last week the births of 813 bays and 762 girls, in
all 1,575 children, were registered in London. In the ten
corresponding weeks of the years 1647-56 the average
number was 1,443.
