SAUGOR.

General Whitlock's force is now broken up into
detachments. A division of guns, a squadron of
the Lancers, and a squadron of the Hyderabad
Contingent, started from Newgong on the sth, with
a view of watching the movements of Tantia Topee.
A larger force was to follow in a few days after-
wards. Brigadier Munsey's column was to garrison
Nowgong. Brigadier Carpenter was at Nagode in
•hopes of securing Rada Govind, a rebel leader of
importance in the field in that neighbourhood, with
betwixt 4,000 or 5,000 men under him. The whole
garrison in Saugor had thus been reduced from
2,000 to 300 infantry, with four guns, and no
cavalry whatever. The darogah of the late Rajah
of Banda had delivered himself up to Mr. Mayne,
the collector and magistrate. He was hanged on
the 28th. The provinces were so scarce of silver
money that the local treasuries were authorised to
issue paper currencies to the extent of £40,000.

Both at Calcutta and Bombay great preparations
are made for the proclamation of the Queen's
assumption of rule. Illuminations on a grand scale
are to be made. It is curious, however, to notice
the apathy of many of the servants of the defunct
East India Company, who seem to think it indecor-
ous to rejoice at the mew order of things, being in
mourning for the deceased corporation.
We have received more troops. The Earl of
Balcarres came in with draughts of the 18th, 33d,
57th, 86th, S9th, and 95th. The Clifton Belle,
with draughts of Royal Artillery, 3d Dragoon
Guards, Bth Hussars, 14th Light Dragoons, 17th
Lancers, 51st, 56th, 57th, 71st, 72d, 83d, 89th, and
92d. The Government steamer Zenobia, came in
from Aden and Suez with 350 of her Majesty's
91st; and the Oneida with the 6th Enniskillen
Dragoons.
The 18th and 33d are ordered up country from
Poona.

Lord Elphinstone is at his country place,
Matheran.

The ex-King of Delhi has been sent to Calcutta
under an escort of Carabineers.

Success has attended a fight which occurred on
the Bth of October at Powayne, in Rohilcund. The
rebels on this occasion attacked the garrison of the
place, but were repulsed, with a loss of four killed
and 19 wounded. Another action, near Shahje-
hanpore, on the same day, resulted in a loss to the
enemy of 300 killed and two guns. In Behar,
General 'Douglas has regularly opened the cam-
paign by the occupation, on the 20th inst., of
Jugdespore, which the rebels had evacuated.
Letters from Goonah, of the 11th, mention that
Colonel Robertson was oonsidered somewhat better,
and in a great measure out of danger. He was
about t• proceed to Seepree, where the change of
air would, it was hoped, benefit him. He was so
utterly prostrated by jungle fever as to be unable
to stir, or even to write to his nearest kinsfolk.

From Camp Suhjanee, 28th Sept., 7.10 p.m.—From
Capt. Rattray, to Calcutta and Patna, to Secre-
tary to Government of Bengal and Commis-

sioner !.

" Colonel Sawer's column marched yesterday
from Behta to Suhjanee ; the 3d Sikh Cavalry and
Bengal Police Ressalah, under Lieutenants
Broughton and Baker, were sent round with a view
of getting between the enemy and Peroo. At Suh-
janee the enemy opposed in force, mustering some
1,000 men, the cavalry drove them out into the open,
and they turned and charged home, pursuing and
cutting them quite into the jungle, killing a rebel
native officer, and 80 or 100 men. Great praise is
due to Lieut. Baker, who commanded. Loss, Ben-
gal Police Cavalry, 1 sowar killed, 14 sowars
wounded, and 9 horses wounded. 3d Sikh Cavalry,
Lieut. Chickins, Indian navy, and a volunteer,
severely wounded."— -Englishman, Sept. 30.
As we were going to press we received the Cal-
cutta dak of the Bth, and with it a letter from
Buxar, of the same date, giving an account of a
dour after a rebel named' Mahger Roy, who had
been plundering the villages along the -banks of
the Kurrumnassa, and in which we very much re-
gret to mention that Capt. Nason, of the Military
Train, and Capt. J. S. Douglas, 4th Madras Light
Cavalry, were both killed.—Delhi Gazette, Oct. 13.
