HOOSHUNGABAD.—An extract from a private letter from
a person at Hooshangabad, whore'the 28th Madras leretive
Infantry is new stationed, says Our cantonment is not
so tranquil at present as we could wish. A considerable
body of rebels have arrived at a village near Purdah on
the opposite bank of the river Nerbadtah, about 56, miles
from Hooshangabad, and have planted the Mahomedan
standard in the name of the King of Delhi. A small
force, consisting of one company of our regiment, the 28th
Madras NJ., and 150 Sowers and Burkendszes, with two
guns, have gone up to repel their further advance; it is to
be hoped that they will meet with success, for a failure
may on'y embolden the rebels, and induce them to attack
cur station, and if they do heaven only knows what may
happen, for we are anything but equal to them ; but
English hearts and English bayonets can do wonders, and
I feel that sometimes I could almost wish they did attack,
and that we might show them what we are made of. I
would give anything for a slap at these brutes. Three
European officers have accompanied the force, and amongst
them is out' worthy commissioner."
Tint NEW:,P.kPllßS.—Theßonzbay Gazette has published
a summary of some papers which have been laid on the
editot's table at that presidency, from which we learn that
a correspondence has been going on between the supreine and
subordinate governments with regard to the publication by
the press of official documents. The result is that matters
are to remain exactly as they are at present, but there are
two things disclosed in the correspondence which are worth
notice. The first is a proposition from Lord Elphinstone's
Government that they should be invested with a discre-
tionary power to communicate to the press matters not
finally disposed of by the Supreme Govevument. Lord
E'phinstone proposed to uss this power when incorrect
versions of local matters were inserted by editors in good
faith, and he justly observes that unless the correction is
made at onc,, it is almost worthless when made some
months afterwards. The Sunreme Government refuses,
however, to allow this power. The second affair is a
proposition of the Madras Government to publish as a
supplement to the Government Gazette any papers they
wished, because " editors may suppress portions of a
correspondence if they are so inclined." The Supreme
Government saw no cenneetion between this recomenenda-
don and rules for the editor's room.

LUCKNOW.—A. Calcutta letter says :—From Lucknow,
the great paint of interest, however, the Government
itself has little information. So completely is the force
there beleagured, that the old devicice of enclosing letters
in a quill has been of necessity abandoned. The only
message received for weeks was written on a piece of paper
three inches square, and concealed by a device it may be
prudent as yet to keep private. We may have to try it
again after this letter has rettr.med to India. The few facts
so reported are somewhat discouraging. Sir James
Outram's force has been terribly reduced. You will
remember that about tke 25th of September he and
General Havelock forced their way into the Resi-
dency, and rolteved the garrison. This feat
was acnomplishe•l by pressing on through gardens, small
bazaars, knots of houses, and other eilelosed places. The
enemy fought as Asiatics always fight behind stone
walls. The ballots literally rained upon the advancing
force, and that sir file movement coat 46Q men. Sixteen
officers of the bOth were killed or placed hors de combat,
and alr.:lnt all the superior officers of the sth Fusiliers.
":.ave beard many of the names, but refrain from
exciting the regret of their friends at home till further
information can be obtained. There had been some hard
fighting before the relieving force reached the enclosures,
and the total number of soldiers rendered useless cannot
be fixed at less than 70Q. The force, therefore, even
