THE CALCUTTA MAIL.

THE RELIEF OF LIICKNOW.

[A portion of the following appeared in our late editibu
of last evening :]—

The Bengal Burkaru, of Nov. 24, after refer-
ring to the relief of Lucknow, says :

" The accounts which have reached us of this
event are very meagre, consisting of nothing but
brief Government despatches. The loss is de
scribed as being very heavy, but the numbers
have not yet been returned, except as far as the
officers are concerned, and these are not so great
as had been expected. Our force was principally
strong in artillery and infantry, and there must
have been a great deal of close fighting and work
for the bayonet. Since the last message was re-
ceived, telegraphic communication, which was re-
established between Cawnpore and Alumbagb, has
been cut off. Whether the wires have been de-
stroyed or not, we are not aware, but two signal-
lers, who seem strangely enough to have been with-
out an escort, have been found murdered, which
is quite sufficient to account for the absence of
communication. News, however, is hourly ex-
pected, and before the mail leaves, we hope to be
able to communicate to our readers that the ladies
and children of the garrison have been removed.
" The Pachete Rajah has been arrested under
circumstances of strong suspicion, which seem jus-
tified by the fact that his house at Kossipore,
near Rogoonathpore, was found to be fortified,
surrounded by a trench, and to contain a number
of warlike stores.

there is no change, except through interference from
home. The plan of Government is utterly inade-
quate to meet the losses of the non-official class,
and their losses are the largest of all. Many of
these persons have lost several lass of rupees, and
if utterly ruined, and unable to set themselves up
in business in any way, they stand a chance of
getting two thousand."

to Madras on the 3d November. The troops per
the Sussex, viz., Rifle Brigade, were tran.hipped
to H.M.S. Adventure, and sent down to Calcutta.
The Monarch arrived at Bombay, Nov. 3, with the
2d Dragoon Guards. The City of Manchester ar-
rived at Calcutta with Ist Dragoon Guard., Nov. 9.

REGULATIONS FOR MUTINIED REGI-
MENTS.
The following remarkable order was issued o❑
the 18th instant :

Nov. 14.

The General Commanding-in-Chief is pleased to lay
down the following rules for the disposal of men on fur-
lough, belonging to regiments which have mutinied or
have been disarmed.

I. Native officers, non-commissioned officers, and se-
poys who were absent from their regiment when it muti-
nied and became non-existent shall, on rejoining their
station at the expiration of their leave, or on reporting
themselves at any other station, be di,charged, receiving
their pay in full to the day of discharge. The corps is
dissolved by its own act, and they must take the conse-
quences. In the certificate of discharge furnished to
such men it should be simply stated that, their regiments
having mutinied, their services are no longer required.
As, however, in several regiments that have mutinied
a few men of a regiment have remained true, and as even
where none have remained faithful there may be among
the men who return from leave some whose cases deserve
special consideration, it will be left open to the officers
of regiments to which suoh individuals belonged, and to
officers commanding stations at whioh such men may
report themselves, to bring under the consideratio❑ of
Government the cases of any such persons. But it is
to be observed that all such exceptional claims to consi-
derati.)n must be supported by clear and specific reason•,
and that in the absence of such reasons the general rul
as above stated is to be adhered to.

" The 32d mutineers have been pursued by
Major English and Captain Rattray, but the
greater part of them have got clear off, and will
probably cause some trouble yet. The Gwalior
mutineers are at Calpee, whore they seem to want
an object.

2. Officers, non-commissioned officers, and sepoys
belonging to regiments which have been disarmed, but
are still doing duty, or to regiments which still retain
their arms, will be allowed to rejoin at the expiration of
their leave.

Should any overstay their leave, men so returning late
are to be reported—none being allowed to resume their
duties nor to receive any pay until their cases shall have
been considered by the Commander-in-Chief. All such
men will be liable to dismissal and to forfeiture of pay,
unless they can give some satisfactory proof of the
manner in which they have been employed during their
unauthorised absence.

3. Men reporting themselves at stations distant from
those from which they took tbeir departure are not to be
received, nor allowed to remain at such distant stati•ns,
nor is any pay to be given, nor extension of leave granted
to them.

"In Central India there have been various
affairs' with the mutineers. The most serious is
the mutiny of the Kotah contingent at Kotah,
and the murder of Major Burton and his two
sons, as well as Dr. Solder and Mr. Saville.
Major Burton had arrived at the presidency only
a few days previously. He had no great reputa-
tion as a political, but he was much respected by
his friends, by whom his loss will be deeply felt.
" North-West is tolerably quiet ; but our gar-
risons generally are not very strong, and the rein-
forcements which are arriving almost daily in Cal-
cutta will be highly welcome in many places.
Delhi is one of the few places where we have a
giant's strength, and there we are using it like
dwarfs. It is stated upon what we know to be
good authority, that the King is treated with a
degree of consideration and respect which fallen
rascallity—even of Royal rank—never obtained
before, and that he bears his honours with oriental
moderation, merely intimating to British officers,
by playful hints, that they must not keep their
hats on in his presence, and so forth. Further, that
hisson, aged 19, who was notshot with his brothers
on account of his youth, rides about the city on
an elephant, with two British officers behind
him, to do him honour. Further, that there are
a number of leaders kept in confinement-it is to
be presumed of a similarly mild character—
against whom no measures have been taken. No-
body seems to know at present who is
to blame for this state of things, but
Mr. Colvin's proelamation is mentioned as the
impediment to justice. We believe, however,
that the Government at Calcutta were unaware of
these proceedings, and were as much surprised as
the rest of us. How far the possibility of their
being surprised in such a matter adds to their
dignity, is another question.

The impassability of the roads which such mon bring
forward as their excuse for not returning to their proper
statism is a difficulty occasioned by the crimes of their
companions in arms, and they should suffer the conse-
quences. It should be certified on the certificates of
leave which snoh men possess that o❑ a certain date
they reported themselves at such a station ; but no
promise of restoration to the service, and no encourage-
ment to hope for the recognition of the validity of the
excuse they give for not having proceeded to their
proper station, is to be held out to these men. Their
having reported themselves being duly entered on their
certificates, they are to be ordered to quit the station.
The men alluded to under this head are those belong-
ing to regiments still armed, or still doing duty without
arms. The cases of those belonging to corps which have
mutinied are provided under the }lead.

"Ur. rickford is known to English resdora by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literaturo. This Is the first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the nos-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it any be in his power to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers,
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and If this hook
could and its way into the hands of those who saffsr from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spormatorrheza, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It Is, therefore,
'lkely to do much good."—Medical Circular.

" The Legislative Council have passed an act
upon the subject of foreigners in India. Fo-
reigners must, for the future, have licenses to re-
main in this country, and to travel stating their
objects, Ste, It is supposed that the presence of
persons supposed to be Russians, with the muti-
neers at Delhi and elsewhere, and the intrigues of
General d'Orgoni, otherwise M. Girodon, have
led to this measure, which is no doubt a very
proper one, and by no means disrespectful to
foreigners, since it will not subject them to such
strict curveilance as foreigners are subjected to
nearly all over the Continent.
" The despatch of the Court of Directors in-
definitely postponing the Black Act was brought
before the Legislative Council on Saturday. The
supporters of the act did not say a word in its
favour, and the despatch was quietly referred to
the committee upon the new code. This proceed-
ing has given great satisfaction to the European
community, who look upon it as an indication of
what is to come.

" The Government have published a resolution
detailing the plan of compensation which they
have decided upon for persons who have lost pro-
perty by the mutinies. It is very unsatisfactory,
especially as regards the largest proportion of the
military, and all of the non-official classes. The
largest proportion of officers, are of course subal-
terns, and these are very hardly treated.
Every subaltern, immediately after the mutiny of
his regiment, lost his company allowance—one, or
even more companies, as the case may be—and
this loss extending over several months, is not
t?dcon into account in any way. Officers in civil
employ were permitted to draw their allowances
up to the Ist of October, and many of them were
able to regain their appointment before that time,
and so have suffered no loss at all. This ine-
quality is unjust in the extreme.

fermi by civil officers and military officers in civil
employ to the authority of the district in which the loss
occurred, and submitted by him, after such inquiry, and
with such remarks AS he may think necessary, to the
commissioner of the division, who should be authorised
to admit or reject the claim, subject in the case of
rejection to an appeal to the local Government, whose
decision should be final.
V. Claims to grants under this head by military
officers on regimental or staff duty should be made to
their commanding officer, or the head of their depart-
ment, who, after such inquiry ay he may think neces-
sary, may admit or reject the claim, subject in the case
of rejection to an appeal to this Government.
VI. No grant under this head will be made to the
estate or family of a deceased officer, the object being to
enable officers to supply themselves with necessary
equipment without incurring debt, and no grant will be
made to any officer whose loss may se-m to have
occurred through any fault or neglect of his own.
VII. With respect to the pensions to be granted to
the destitute widows and children of uncovenanted
officers who have lost their lives in consequence of the
mutinies, his Lordship in Council observes Ulm no fixed
rule exists for the determination of the amount of pen-
sions provided for their families by the subscribers to
the uncovenanted service family pension fund ; but that
the subscriptions to the fund appear to be for the most
part in proportion to the salaries of the several members,
and his Lordship in Council is of opinion that it will be
equitable, in granting pensions in the cases ander con-
sideration, to divide the applicants into classes with
reference to the salaries drawn by the deceased officers,
in somewhat the same manner as is proposed for the
regulation of donations to officers who have lost pro-
perty, :Ind to award pensions equal to the average
amount of pensions ouFseribethfor by members of the
fund of each class.
---ZI-Ter-easTelsesealauses will be as follows :-
1. Cases in which the deceased men were drawing
salaries of 500 rupees a mouth and upwards.
2. Cases in which the deceased men were drawing
salaries of 300 rupees a month and less than 500 rupees.
3. Cases in which the deceased men were drawing 200
rupees a month and less than 300 rupees.
4. Cases in which the deceased men were drawing 100
rupees a month and less than 200 rupees.
5. Cases in which the deceased men were drawing 50
rupees a month and lees than 100 rupees.
IX. Cases in which deceased men were drawing less
than 50 rupees a month will be decided with reference to
the pecuiirr circumstances of each, on the understanding
that, as a general rule, pensions to widows shall not be
granted in excess of one-fifth of the pay of the deceased
officers, or to children in excess of one-fourth of the pet-
stone of the widni res.

X. In all cases the pensions of widows shall cease on
remarriage ; those of sons on their attaining the age of
18 years ; and those of danghters on marriage.
XI. In exceptional cases pensions %ill be allowed to
other female rile ives.

XII. All applications for such pensions must be sub-
mitted in the usual manner through the local civil
authr,rities.

XIII. As regardstlie grant of relief to the military

fund, the Goveinor-General in Council considers that it
will be more advisable to undertake the annual payment
of the pensions of those who have become entitled to
them than to make over to the fund a sum equal to the
present value of those pensions.
XIV. With r-ference to erants of money to Europeans
not in the service of the Government, his Lordship in
Council considers that such grants should be given on
the same principle as those allowed to the European and
native officers of the G)vernment—that is to say, to
those who have lost all, or nearly all their property, in
consequence of the mutinies, and who have not the
means of setting themselves up again either in business
or otherwise.

CHINA.

(From the Overland Chinos Mail, Nou. 14.)

The most important occurrence of the fortnight
has been the arrival, on the sth, of Mr. Reed, the
United States Minister, and suite. Beyond what
is already known at home about the peaceful in-
tentions of the Americans with regard to China,
nothing has transpired to give na an inkling of
the peculiar policy to be pursued by their pleni-
potentiary. The representatives of the three
Western Powers are now assembled on the field
of their future operations ; two of them have
large forces at their command, and are resolved
to use them, and the foreign community are
anxiously awaiting the result.
The British naval force goes on increasing.
The Imperatrice with 550 marines and 50 boys,
arrived on the sth, and sailed for the river on the
7th ; the gunboats Watchful and Woodcock, in
tow of the steamer Furious, arrived on the 4th ;
the store steamer Hesper and floating factory
Volcano on the 10th ; and gun-boats Janus and
Clown, and dispatch-steamer Surprise on the 13th.
The steamer Adelaide, which left Portsmouth on
the 15th Aug., with the remainder of the Marines,
is hourly looked for. There has been no alteration
in the French force ; the American now consists
of the steamers Minnesota and San Jacinto, 50
and 15 guns ; the sloops Levant and Portsmouth,
18 and 16 guns. The Mississippi, another fine
steamer, is expected. The Americans will, never-
theless, greatly feel the want of small steamers
suited to river navigation.
There has been less done in the river, except
perhaps in the way of preparation, since our last
Overland, than for some time back during a like
reriod. A note dated Nov. 4 informs us that Gen.
Ashburnham and staff arrived per Coromandel in
the upper part of the river on the morning of
that day. He proceeded into Fatshan Creek and
remained there some time, and afterwards, in
company with several naval officers, visited the
Stymour and Macao forts, remaining at the
latter the greater part of the day. Our corre-
spondent adds, that Chuenpee fort, which was
abandoned, is now being destroyed. Another
note just received mentions nothing except that a
Chinese baker, who had taken up his quarters off
Sixty-six Point, had had his wife carried off, to-
gether with some money and a cargo of flour, by
the mandarin. The wife, however, Lad been
offered him back for a ransom of 200 dole. The
following is the disposition of the ships :—Elk and
Bittern at Sixty-six Point, Highflyer and Sampson
at Hamilton Creek, and Acorn at Escape Creek ;
the two troopships and Nankin at Wangtong
Port, and Sybille at Tiger Island. All the vessels
are to he in the river by the 26th, except the
Sybille and Tribune which will remain at Hong
Kong.

XV. Similar grants will be made to thomil persons, ❑ot
being Euripeans, who may he certified by any officer
authorised by Government to give the certificate to have
su,tained damage i❑ consequence of or while rendering
active assistance to the Government.

XVI. In no case should a grant under this head
exceed 2,000 rupees, the maximum allowed to unwire-
natited officers, and the amount should be regulated
according to the circumstances of each Oise.
XVII. Applications for grants under this bead should
he made to the local civil officer,, and submitted by them
to the commissioners of divisions, atter such inquiry and
wit's such re:narks as may be deemed necessary. The
commissioners will submit a general statement of such
claims for the final decision of the 1 )cal Government,
XVIII. Pensions to the desti ute families of Euro-
peans : of in the servica of Government, killed in the
mutinies will be granted on the same terms as to the
famides of uncovenanted civil servants of the Govern-
ment, regard being had to the circumstances of life in
each case, and special consideration being shown for the
families of those who may have died in the temporary
sot vies of the State. .

In Hong Kong, everything wears the aspect of
busy preparation, and it is confidently affirmed
that the first step towards the investment of Can-
ton will be taken on Tuesday, upon *hich day the
Calcutta, accompanied by the gunboats and
steamers now here, will proceed up the river. The
greater part of the small military force here will
likely be required to assist in the attack upon
Canton, and upon the naval force will principally
devolve the protection of the colony.

XIX. Free passages in Government and private
steamers have been granted already to all women and
children pr .ceeding from the stations up the country to
Bengal. A similsr indulgence will be allowed to such
persons returning to their homes, when the prohibition
against residence in the disturbed distric's is removed.
XX. This indulgence, however, will be restricted to
passages on hoard Government steamers, or in private
steamers taken up by the Government for the convey-
ance of store., on the understanding that it will not be
allowed to interfere with the conveyance of troops or of
persons proceeding up the country on the public service.
CECIL BEADON,
Secretary to the Government of India.

• Various rumours reach us from Canton ; some
say that Yeh has left the city to proceed against
the rebels in the North of the province ; and
others that he is about to go. The rebels are giv-
ing Yeh sad trouble. He has memorialised the
Emperor, requesting that no more troops be
draughted from Kwasgtung into the other pro-
vinces ; and troops have been sent from the
Northern provinces in foreign vessels to Swato,
whence they will probably be sent against the
rebel,. Some think that these internal troubles
will make the city yield to us without any fight-
ing ; hut we anticipate a short struggle and look
anxiously beyond it to the state in which the pro-
vince will be when, much more than now, at the
mercy of the rebels.

It is still said that the French intend to assist
the British force, but whether actively before
Canton, or only in protecting Hong Kong, thereby
enabling us to make the best of our force, is mat-
ter of doubt. At all events, no active movement
has as yet been made by the French with refer-
ence to Cochin China ; and the greater portion of
their fleet is still anchored at the Brothers, where
Baron Le Gros also is.

H. E. Sir M. Seymour has been promoted from
the rank of Rear Admiral of the White to that
of Rear-Admiral of the Red. The alteration in
the flags was made yesterday, under salutes from
the ships of war.

The Russian war steamer America arrived from
Shanghai to-day, having on board his Excellency
Count Pontiatine, AtubassadorExtra.ordinary, who
is reported to have failed in his attempted nego-
tiation at Peking. Her Majesty's steamer Hornet
is also in from Ningpo, and the Spanish steamer
Don J. Juan from Manila.

The Neleus, with 180 military and naval inva
lids o❑ board, left to-day for England. She was
towed out of the harbour by H.M.S. Inflexible.
We understand that General Ashburnham, with
several of the heads of departments, will proceed
to Calcutta in the Ava on the 18th inst.
We have just received information of the wreck
of the Dutch schooner Helene, Captain Hogins-
trouter, at Breaker's Point. Shortly after she got
ashore she was attacked by pirates, and plundered
of everything. The crew arrived at Swatow, on
the 11th, almost naked, add were there provided
for on board the Twee Cornelissen.

The loss of another vessel (the Portuguese ship
Man Hon, from Hong-kong) on the coast of For-
mosa, and the plunder of the crew by the natives,
will doubtless remind the Government of the
necessity of making provision for such oases. The
Chinese Government at present have certainly not
the power to control the natives of Formosa, and
we shall have to trust in a great measure to our-
selves. In the expected opening up of trade, that
of Formosa is likely to meet with great attention,
and an expedition to the island to put matters on
a proper footing may be looked for. The state of
affairs, too, at Swatow—a place where a consider-
able trade is done, but which, like the places on
the coast of Formosa, is not a treaty port—is
such, it will be seen, as requires some attention.
From Amoy we have advices to the 9th No-
vember. The demand for imports was undimi-
nished. Patna was quoted 735 dols. ; Benares
725 dola. ; Java rice, 2 dols 60c. ; Arraoan, 2
dols. ; and Formosa 2 dots. 95c.
Our latest advices from Fuhchau are to the 3d
November. Very little had been done in teas, and
the stock of congou unsold was 95,000 chests. A
decline of two taels on finer qualities, four to five
taels on medium, and three to four taels on com-
mon had taken place. Patna was quoted 790
of
