By the Candia, which arrived at Suez on the

29th ult., we have advices from Bombay of March

18 ; Calcutta, 8 ; Hong Kong, 2'7. The latest
news from Lucknow is to the morning of the

our possession, but few rebels remaining in it.
General Outram having turned the enemy's line
of works on the canal, the Mmrtiniere was stormed
by Sir Edward Lugard, and the line of works

seized on the 9th. The Bank-house was also oc-
cupied. On the 11th Jung Bahadoor moved
into line, and the 93d Regiment, supported by

the 423, stormed the Begum's Palace. Our loss
was less than 100 killed and wounded, the loss
of the enemy being 500. At the same time,
Outram, on the north of the Goomtee, seized on
the stone bridge, and cut up 500 of the enemy.
On the same day our guns moved up, and the
buildings in advance of the Begum's Palace were
occupied. On the 14th the Imaumbarrah was

stormed, the Ghoorkas assisting. The Kaiser-

bagh was then entered, and after a fight all day,
solidly occupied. 24 guns were taken. General
Outram then crossed the iron bridge and opened
fire on the flying enemy. Our loss was not known
at Bombay, but is supposed to be small.

The enemy rushed by the artillery on the 15th,

flying from the city in great numbers. Two
columns of cavalry and artillery, under Briga-
diers Campbell and Hope Grant, were sent out

after them.
