THE DAY'S NEWS.

Full details of the news from our Indian posser.
sions will be found in the sixth page of this day's
publication. They are even of a graver complexion
than the telegraphic messages had led us to ex-
pect. That the mutiny will be put down we hope
and believe ; but it has still to be put down, and
its suppression will cost both blood and treasure.
Thirty two regiments of the Bengal army, with
some companies of Artilley arrd Sappers and
Miners, have mutinied. The insurgent force in
Delhi is composed exclusively of the Meerut
mutineers, and the native troops stationed at Delhi,
which made common cause with them. They have
been joined by revolted regiments from Nusseerabad
Ferozepore, and elsewhere. This force has
not bean driven within the walls after one defeat
only ; they have repeatedly ventured out to give
battle to the assailants. Nor is Delhi the only
point at which mutiny obstinately holds its ground.
Although quelled at first at Lucknow, it has since
broken out there with greater violence; and Cawn-
pore, at the time of the latest despatches, was held
in a state of seige by mutineers. The dis-
banded men and deserters, too, form an elemen t
of mischief calculated to awaken scarcely less
anxiety than the banded insurgents actually in
arms. They are disseminating themselves through
the country, apparently with the design to foster
and inflame any local discontents that they may
find existing among the ryots. Some struggling
parties are reported to have made their way to the
neighbourhood of Nagpore. The Globe of last
night makes the following remarks upon .the news
now to hand :—" So far as appears from the intel-
ligence before us the capture of Delhi will be the
suppression of the rebellion. At no other
place have the mutineers been able to make
a stand. At Nusseerabad the gallant fidelity of
the Ist Bombay Lancers was almost sufficient to
defeat the mutineers. At other points, irregu-
lars, European and native, have successfully
dealt with bodies of the revolted soldiery. Only
one native chief had the temerity to revolt. Pun-
ishment speedily fell upon him. A body of volun-
teer horse from Allyghur dashed into his village,
caught, tried, and hung him on the spot. The
TOth Native Regiment at Barrackpore had asked
and obtained permission to march against the
mutineers. The 9th Native Regiment at Allyghur
" politely dismissed " its European officers before
a portion of them marched to Delhi. At Murdaun,
the 55th deserted their colours ; they were assailed
by Europeans and Irregulars, cut to pieces, taken,
and dispersed.
We had two arrivals yesterday from the British
North American Provinces. The screw steamers
Indian and Khersonese—the former from Quebec
and the latter from St. John's, Newfoundland

arrived here within half an hour of each other,
yesterday morning. They sailed from their res-
pective ports on the 4th inst. These passages
were made under nine days and a half, and the In-
dian has made the passage out and home, including
her detention at Quebec, in twenty-six days. The
news is chiefly confined to particulars of the burn-
ing of the steamer Montreal. We give the captain
and purser's statement respecting this melancholy
catastrophe. 200 bodies had been recovered, but
it was feared there were yet 100 missing.
In the House of Lords last night the business
transacted was not of much public importance.
Attention was directed to the unfitnes of several
of the transports engaged for the convey-
ance of troops to India, the Earl of Albemarle
stating that one of the transports had the reputa-
tion of making four knots an hour. The noble
Earl also objected to the system of hiring vessels
by the government. He thought that they ought
to be engaged registered tonnage instead of by the
gross tonnage. Lord Panmute denied that the
vessels were old or unfit for the service for which
they were engaged. " The vessels were clippers,
and he understood that that was the swiftest
description of sailing vessels." Some conversation
occurred on the Earl of Hardwicke asking the Post-
master-General whether any arrangement had been
made for expediting the India mails through France.
The Duke of Argyle replied that in no case during
the last six months had the mails been delayed
more than twelve hours, and an arrangement had
been made by the French Government, by which,
in case the Indian mail arrived within two hours
after the departure of the morning mail, the Englieh
letters were forwarded by express. Several bills
were fowarded a stage, including the Joint Stock
Company's Bill, which was read a second time.
The House of Commons had an early sitting
yesterday, which was wholly occupied by the
Metropolitan Police Grand Juries Bill, the object of
which is to abolish grand juries in the Metropolis.
On the motion for going into committee on the
bill, Mr. Boyer moved that the chairman leave the
chair. He spoke very strongly against the bill,
as did also several other members, but the motion
was lost by a vote of 187 against, and only eighty
for. At the evening sitting Mr. Disraeli asked for
further information as to the state of affairs in
India, and asked the noble Lord at the head
of the government to fix a day upon which the
House might express an Opinion upon the sub-
ject. Lord Palmerston replied that the despatches
which the Government had received, were only an
amplification of the information received by
telegraph. He would as soon as possible lay
papers on the subject before the House, and he
was of opinion that it would be premature for
the House to express an opinion until the docu-
ments were in the hands of the members.
Arrangements had been made to send out a force
larger than that stated by Lord Canning to be
necessary. It was sated in the House that Genera
Anson had not communicated either to the Govern
ment or to the East India Company, the inform atio
of disaffection being prevalent in the India
Army. On the motion of Lord Gooderich it wa
agreed by the House that it was expedien
t o extend the system of competition to all th

offices in the Civil Service of the country. An ad
dress to her Majesty, praying that she would
employ all the means in her power to put down the
African Slave Trade, and that she would take steps
to obtain the execution of the treaties made with
other power for that purpose, was carried unani-
mously.
Mr. Scholefield last night, in the House of Com-
mons, brought up a report from the Mayo Election
Committee, stating that Mr. Moore was not duly
elected for the county of Mayo, and that the last
election, so far as regarded the return of Mr.
Moore, was void. They also reported that undue
iefluence and spiritual intimidation had prevailed
at the last election to a great extent, and that the
Rev. Peter Conway and the Rev. Luke Ryan were
the most active in this respect.
The domestic or local intelligence is not of the
least importance this morning, if we except the
fact of a ship being run down in the channel, and
the loss of six lives. The ship Carlyle, which left
this port on Sunday for New York, on the following
day, while off Holyhead, came in contact with the
Austrian barque Grayio Deo, from Liverpool to
Trieste, and the latter immediately sank, and six of
her crew were drowned. The Carlyle has returned
to port.
The coroner's inquiry into the St. Martin's
Workhouse murder, has resulted In a verdict of
Wilful Murder being returned against the unfortu-
nate lunatic by whom it was perpetrated.
There is nothing of political interest in the greater
portion of the continental news to-day.
All the accounts from Spain, although mostly
coming through sources hostile to the insurrection,
represent it as being not yet overpowered by the
Government forces The largest of the insur-
rectionary bands which first appeared at Utrera, in
Andalusia, was hotly pursued, fled in the direction
of Gibraltar, and has not yet been taken or dis
persed, so that Marshal Narvaez might have spared
his rash b )ast on the subject.
The Flyverosten of Copenhagen says :—" We
learn from a good scuree that England and France
have expressed to the Austrian and Prussian
governments, through their ambassadors, the wish
that those Cabinets should defer any ulterior steps
in the Danish question until after the meeting of
the Holstein Chambers in August."
A Constantinople correspondent gives an account
of the new reforms, as recommended by a recent
Government Commission. Aco,rding to this
account, the new organisation of the provinces, as
projected by the commission, amounts to little
more or less than the introduction of the corn-
mur al system based on elections, instead of the
system of the governmental centralisatio❑ which
has been hitherto prevailing.
The Persian correspondent of the Bombag Times
makes a curious report to that paper. He states
that the Shah has made a requisition upon
General Outram for a column of troops to enforce
he evacuation of Herat, which is held by his

nephews, who, disapproving the terms of peace,
refuses to withdraw from the The Bombay
Times does not discredit the news, but is unable
to vouch for its accuracy.

THOUGH the news from India affords no room
for despair, it is sufficiently grave to demand
the utmost despatch and activity on the part of
the Government. From the tone of conversation
in both Houses, we should infef that the worst
may be considered as past, and that Ministers
expect soon to hear that the insurrection has
been crushed at the point where it made its
chief stand—Delhi. We hope this is true, yet
the very latest accounts are not at all in harmony
with it ; for it is now telegraphed that thirty-two
regiments of the Bengal army, with companies of
Artillery, Sappers and Miners, are in open
revolt, At other points, also, as at Ferozepore
and Nuseerabad, the mutiny has shown itself ;
also, Cawnpore and Lucknow are reported as
besieged by the mutineers ; and at Delhi there
seem to have been several battles and skirmishes,
the deserters had came out often and again
give battle to the Government troops, though
they were beaten, and driven into the town with
the loss of twenty-six guns. Oa May 23rd, the
heights surrounding Delhi were in possession of
our troops; but so late as June Bth, the town had
not been taken, but was still occupied by the
insurgents. This indicates that the insurgents
were in greater numbers, or that more resistance
had been offered than was expected. Still we
entertain no real doubt of the speedy reduction
of Delhi, as reinforcements were advancing from
many quarters on this and the other disturbed
districts. What complicates the case, and
greatly increases the danger, is the circumstance
of the deserters, and men of the disbanded
regiments, spreading themselves over the
surrounding country, trying to spread dis-
affection, corresponding probably with regi-
ments who have not yet mutinied, making
travelling less safe, and causing a vast amount
of general fear and insecurity. The telegraphic
communication has been cut off between Delhi,
Agra, and Calcutta. Something like thirty
thousand men have already been lost, through
all causes, from the ranks of the native army,
and more desertions and mutinies are suspected.
Though it is hoped that the crisis is past, we
have, as yet, no security that it is so.
Twenty thousand European soldiers are now
asked for, instead of the ten thousand first marred.
Prophets that prophecy after the event are,
indeed, now telling us that they knew all this
was hatching and preparing long ago—that even
the Mohammedan part of the people has been
conspiring against us, so that sooner or later an
explosion was inevitable. Why, then, was not
all this made known long ago, and measures
taken to prevent it ? Why was not such
important information confidentially imparted to
our Government ? Why make such a profound
secret of intelligence so vital to the safety of our
Indian Empire ? Of plots hatching for months
there were probably preliminary symptoms, and
' we can only regret that men with eyes, and ears,
and patriotism should live and give no sign.

Still we cannot believe that the insurrection,
though magnified in some French papers, can
long sustain itself against the force that will be
brought to crush it. Those proud, high-caste
Sepoys, who fight so well when incorporated
with, or accompanied by, European regiments,
are comparatively feeble when alone. With British
officers and discipline, they are equal to the best
soldiers in the world. Not even the soldiers
of France or Sardinia could surpass them. But
the insurgents are at present without ammu-
nition, without any plan of operation, without
officers, discipline, and a General who might
