SUCCESSES IN OUDE.

We have received our advices from Bombay,
with dates to the 9th ult., in anticipation of the
Overland Mail. The following is from the Bombay
Times of March 9
HEADS OF INTELLIGENCE.

The bombardment of Lucknow has by this time
commenced, and the doomed city is most likely in

our possession.
Sir Colin Campbell left Cawnpore on the 28th
February, and arrived before Lucknow on the Ist
March, and hostile operations immediately com-
menced. His Excellency was at Dilkoosha, one
of the suburbs of Lucknow, on the 6th March.
Sir James Outram, with 6,000 men and 30
guns, crossed the Goomtee on the 6th March,
when he was attacked by the enemy, who were
repulsed. Several spirited affairs occurred at
Alumbagh during the last fortnight, which invari-
ably ended in the defeat of the rebels. On the
25th the enemy attacked the position in great
strength, but were driven back with the loss of
two guns.
Gen. Franks, after a series of brilliant victories,
joined the Commander-in-Chief at Lucknow in the
beginning of March. On the 19th February he
successively defeated two bodies of the enemy at
Chanda, and captured six guns. On the 23d he
again attacked them at Sultanpore, killing nearly
2,000 men, and taking 20 guns, After this he
proceeded by forced marches towards Lucknow,
and arrived there about the 4th or sth inst.
Gen. Hope Grant, being detached in pursuit of
a body of rebels, who attempted to cross into
Rohilcund, took Mungeree, the stronghold of the
Nana, by storm on the 23d February. Five hun-
dred of the rebels were killed, and four guns cap-
tured, while our casualties only amounted to
sixteen. The Nana has fled, it is supposed
towards Bundelcund, but his whereabouts is not
accurately known.
The Goorkas, under Jung Bahadoor, were pre-
paring to cross the Gogra, into Oude, on the 2d
March, and would immediately advance upon

Lucknow.
Colonel Mitchell occupied the fort of Rhotas-
gurh, in the Shahabad district, on Feb. 17, the
enemy having retreated and dispersed before his
force.

General Roberts, with the greater part of the
Rajpootana field force, is at Nusseerabad, and is
preparing to lay siege to Kotab, where a large
body of rebels are assembled.
The brigade under Sir Hugh Rose has left San-
ger, and is advancing towards Jhansi via Shah-
gurh.

The Punjaub is tranquil. Sir John Lawrence
arrived at Delhi on the 24th February, to settle
the disturbed districts of Kohilcund.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Ava, with the Calcutta and Madras mails for
England, was wrecked off Trincomalee on the 17th
February, but the passengers were saved. The
mails, however, and about 180,0004 of treasure,
are totally lost.
The Governor-General was at Allahabad on the
7th March, and the Governors of Madras and
Bombay are at their respective presidencies, which
are quite undisturbed. Sir Henry Somerset is in
Bombay, but Sir Patrick Grant is on a tour in the
provinces of Madro.
The 92d Highlanders, from Gibraltar, arrived
at Bombay via Suez on the oth March, and will
be stationed at the Presidency. The 71st High-
landers have left for Mhow, to join the Central
India Field force. The 18th Royal Irish remain
at Poona.

The money market continues easy ; our import
market has improved, and contracts for goods to
arrive have been entered into at advanced prices ;
tonnage is abundant, and the rates of freights
have not improved.
