THE INDIAN MAILS.,

On the sth inst., the Bombay and Calcutta
Pnttekets will be due at Suez, with news from
Calcutta up to the 10th of October, and from
t
2nabay up to the 17th of that month. This news
;311culd reach London, via Trieste, on the 12th inst.
7 the last packets Delhi was 20 days' post
from Calcutta, and 14 days' from Bombay, and
Can
npore was six days' post from Calcutta. There
valacousiderable delay iu the post reaching Calcutta
alici Bombay from Delhi for the last packets, on
account of the mutinous state of the intervening
tlveighbourhood. If Laikaow was relieved at the
liale it was expected to be, it would probably be
41:311t 7or 8 days from thence to Calcutta. It is
Psasible that the roads between Delhi and
Calcutta or Bombay might be clefter of inter-
tuPtiona than by the last aedouuts,and that it might
b
e°4lY eight or nine days' post between the former
4" one of the latter two places. Lucknow was
IPected to be relieved on the 25th of September.
14' 41 probable, therefore, that by the next ae-
-I°Unta we may have news from Delhi up •to
fortnight after it was captured, and from
I'llcknow up to nearly a fortuight after it
/las relieved. This news will, undoubtedly, be
14sat important and interesting, for it will most
eertaill'-y contain the details of the c ipture of Delh
441 Most probably the relief of Lucknow, and such
accounts of the operations of the mutineers as
enable us to judge how much 'anger they will
us able to defy the Indian government. It is
quite possible ihat we might have an Indiaii tele-
via Sardinia, in anticipation of the news by
1711 Y of Trieste, next Monday, that is on th 9 h
'astaut.
