Patun, which place was reported some days agolto
have been surrounded by the fugitive rebels, had
been compelled to hoist a flag of truce, upon which
fighting ceased. The rebels took possesssion of all

SERVICE MESSAGE FROM G. F.'EDMONSTONE, ESQ.,
DATED ALLAHABAD, 6TH SEPTEMBER, 1.5 P.M.

At Gwalior four Sepoys of the- 25th Bombay
Native Infantry, Hindoos of Oude, being instigated
by a Brahmin to induce their regiment to join the
Nana, informed their officers, pretended to join the
plot, were introduced to several conspirators, and
induced them to come near cantonments and show
to the Havildar-Major a perwannah from the
Nana. As arranged beforehand, two officers ap-
peared, and the conspirators were seized. Other
arrests' also have been made by the Political Agent
at Gwalior, and the perwannah, which bears
date May last, is in his possession. Capt. Nixon,
the Bherotpore Political Agent, proceeded to Ulwar
on the 30th ult., and was well received by the
Thakoors and city peopAe. The feelings of the
Thakoors are greatly excited against the Maho-
medan party, in consequence of their deceitful in-
tention to appoint one of their own class to be
Killadar and also to make the boy Rajah turn
Mahomedan. Though a mere child, the Rajah is
violently opposed to the Thakoors, and Captain
Nixon apprehends mischief unless an European
officer is deputed to Ulwar. It is reported from
the Punjab that the men of the 62d and 69th
Infantry have broken away from Mooltan; the
Adjutant of the Bombay Fusiliers and four artil-
lerymen killed. No further particulars received.
From Sultanpore, Oude, we hear thatnearly all the
rebels are at Jugdespore, 20 miles from Sultanpore,
on the Lucknow road. They numberabout 5,000
and are said to have eight guns. In the fort of
Amethee there are reported to be 1,000 men and 22
guns. The rest of the rebels have gone either to
their homes or to Byswarra. The boats had arrived
at Sultanpore, and the bridge would probably be
ready by the 2d.
SERVICE MESSAGE FROM G. F. EDMONSTONE,
ESQ., DATED ALLAHABAD, 7TH SEPTEMBER,
3.30 P.M.

Captain Mayne reports from Gooindale that Tan-
tia Topee is making for Bhopaul ; his advanced
guard was at Kelchepore on the Ist., intending to
march by Rajghur and Beoura on the 3d. The
telegraph people and Bunneahs had feft Beoura.
Colonel Lockhart's force was at Serome on the Ist
of September, and Colonel Hoane, with 1,100 men,
left Indore for Auguran on the 3d. On the other
hand, from Sir Robert Hamilton's telegram of the
3d it would appear that the rebels were still at
Jhalra Patun ; they are reported by Sir Robert to
be in full possession of that town, and to be.pre-
paring for the defensive, and throwing up breast-
works on the road approaching. The Raj Hannah
had
fled from Jhalra and was expected in Colonel
Lockhart's camp. Ramdhum Singh, formerly in
the service of the Hannah of Dholepore, has fallen
suddenly on an Agra Tussildaree, in the territory'
west of Paree, and has taken possession of it with
an armed force. Some of the Puttealah Sikhs at
Dholepore,,with some of the Hannah's toops, have
been detached to expel the invaders.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
• THE CALCUTTA MARKET, SEpT. 8.
On the 26th ult. the electric telegraph from Madras, dated
23d idem, gave us the mail news per Candia, from London,
of the 26th of July. On the 27th she arrived here, as we
had our letters arid papers by her late at night. On the 3d
inst. we received our advices from London of the 2d of
August by the Bombay route.
The produce-market has continued steady, and business
to a fair extent has been done in all articles. Latterly there
has been less disposition evinced to operate in saltpetre and
oil seeds, as also in jute, and consequently prices have been
slightly in favour of buyers. Raw silk in excellent demand,
at higher prices. Sugar is also higher. Corahs rather stiff,
and more doing. Lac dye continues dull. Shellac firm,
but less doing. Rice continues a dead letter for the home
markets. Safflower moves very slowly.

Joint-Stock Shares—The easy state of the money-market
and the general sound position of most joint-stock associa-
tions cause scrip to be held firmly. The Inland Steam
Company's shares are the most favoured, and they continue
at a high premium. Coal shares are also well favoured,
owing to the increased and growing demand for this mine-
ral, which has considerably advanced in price.
Company's papers have not advanced as was expected,
and the Four per Cents. are at 15 to 15-4, and the Five per
Cents. at 7 7-8 discount. Native traders seem to entertain
a doubt as to the British Government recognisinF these loans
with the fact before them that the British capitalists have
subscribed in London to a loan on the same security at 4
per cent. interest, which is there marketable at par. There
can be little doubt that the open Company's Five per Cent.
Loan will be closed here as soon as the transfer of the go-
vernment of India to the Crown is officially announced.

documents at 2s. Old. to 2s. ON. On China there is literally
nothing doing.

EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS AT
NEWCASTLE.

We have received from a correspondent at New-
castle-on-Tyne the following narrative of some
extraordinary proceedings of which that town has
this week been the scene :
In prospect of the municipal elections in New-
castle-on-Tyne a great deal of popular excitement
exists, especially in the Westgate Ward. Mr. Wm.
Dunn, a Roman catholic gentleman of considerable
influence and wealth, represents that ward, and a
strong feeling of antagonism has been aroused
against him on account of his faith. The Daily
Express has taken up the case in this sense with
• great vehemence, and letters and articles have
appeared commenting with unqualified severity on
its opponents, and the means adopted by them to
further their electioneering p
morning last a letter appeared
upin
tohsees..DaOilyn
Express,Tuesday
attributing to the French Consul, the Count de
Marincourt—the agent, as it called him, of the
arch-traitor and plotter against his country's
liberty, Louis Napoleon—an interference with the
canvass in the ward. The son of the consul, lately
an
officer
in the French army, who was staying
with his father at the time, called at the office and
left a card for the editor of the Daily _Express,
desiring that that gentleman would meet him at
the smoking-room of the Central _Exchange next
morning. The letter further threatened to chastise
the editor at his own house if he did not keep
his appointment. Of course the appointment
Was not kept, and M. de Marincourt returned home.
Shortly afterwards he obtained a copy of the Daily
Express of Wednesday, and found an article in
it reflecting on the count in the most violent man-
ner. " Now," says the Daily Express, " there are
two kinds of French counts—if a professor of any-
thing from language or legerdemain comes from
America, the chances are that he is a major or
something between that and a general; if on the
other your necromancer or dancing master comes
from France he is pretty certain to be a count.
There are no doubt real counts as well as pinch-
becks, but whether M. de Marinconrt belongs to
the one class or the other, whether his affinities
connect him with the Count Montalembert or Count
Borromeo, the most impudent impostor on the
treadmill, he is equally precluded from interfering
with the course of an English election." The article
concludes with this advice : " Monsieur must follow
Madame." To understand the last allusion it is
necessary to explainhotuhsaet

could be found, the young man pulled out a pistol,
and threatened them if they would not inform him.
On learning the place -where the editor could .be,
found, he drove thither in a cab, and entered the
library where the editor was sitting ; on inquiring
if lie were the editor, he ordered him, with similar
threats, to come to apologise to the count, his
father. A most humble apology was made, and
the editor of the Daily Express was released from
detention. On investigation, we learn that the
count denies having ever interfered in the election,
and that he was, moreover, entirely' ignorant of his
son's movement 3 till the editor was brought into
his room in captivity. An address of sympathy
and confidence to the count is in course of prepara-
tion by some respectable inhabitants of Newcastle.
