Commodore in the gunboat Starling, for Tyshan
Bay, where the force was assembled.
_

On the morning of the 11h, the tide not serving
till a late hour, as the gunboats were steaming to
the shore, several shots were fired from a newly-
erected battery to the S.W. of the walled town of
Namtow, and close to the beach, which was soon
silenced by the admirable fire from the gunboats.
The force—viz., Royal Artillery-3 officers, and
60 non-commissioned officers and men ; 59th Regi-
ment-6 officers, and 106 non-commissioned officers
and men ; Royal Engineers—r 3 officers, and 20 non-
commissioned officers and men; Royal Marine
Light Infantry-7 (5 ?) officers, and 130 (137 ?)
non-commissioned officers and men; 12th Mad-
ras Native Infantry-2 officers, and 100 non-com-
missioned officers and men ; Naval Brigade
—about 200 (250 ?) officers and men—landed about
11 a.m. at the S.E. in the village of Namtow,
where written notices were given to the people
that so long as no hostile act was committed on
their part, their village and property would be re-
spected, which was rigidly adhered to, though
from every street as we approached the fort, a heavy
fire of gingalls and matchlocks was kept up by the
braves, who retreated as we advanced. By this we
had one officer, Commander Madden, of her Ma-
jesty's ship Sanspareil, very dangerously wounded,
three men killed, and about 12 wounded. The
returns I have not yet received.
About two o'clock p.m. the fort was taken by
assault, the party being led by Commander Sau-
marez, of the Cormorant, accompanied by Captain
Lambert, of the Royal Engineers, who was unhap-
pily mortally wounded by the accidental discharge
of a firelock of the numerous men crowding up the
ladder after him. His loss is deeply to be deplored.
The wall gained, the enemy fled, leaving the
fort almost untenanted; and those remaining
having been ordered out, the place was given up to
destruction, and the principal gates blown in.
The force bivouacked in the fort that night, and
were re-embarked the following morning, bringing
away two large brass guns found in the battery
near the water. A deputation from the inhabi-
tants of the village was received by Commodore
the Hon. Keith Stewart and myself, and. their
petition, " that we should not burn their village,"
was granted. I have to record the loss of another
gallant officer, by the accidental discharge of a
musket, as we were leaving the fort—Lieutenant
Danvers, 70th B. N. Infantry.—l have the honour
,o be, sir, your most obedient servant,
C. T. VON STRAIIBENZEE,
Commanding her Majesty's troops in China.
His Excellency Sir John Bowring.

The Friend of Chiva says of the casualties :
Commander Madden was bringing his men into
lime on the beach, shortly after landing, when he
was shot in the back from a gingall, the bullet
appearing to have lodged in the lungs, without
possibility of extraction. At last advice this much
loved officer was doing well on board the Hercules
hospital ship, and hopes are entertained of his
ultimate recovery. At first his position was most
critical.

Captain Lambert was getting on the wall as he
was shot in the groin by one of the Nankin's seamen,
struggling with a soldier to be first up the ladder.
Only two ladders were planted, though some thirty
were on the ground. At the next escalade there
should be some order in the mode of ascent; but
the Nankin will not be on the station then.

Lieutenant Danvers was shot the day after the
attack, by one of fourteen gun Lascars who did not
know that his gun was capped—Lieut. Anderson
having been careful some time before to direct the
uncapping of the pieces. He was some thirty
yards distant when the gun went off; the bullet
tearing through his liver, and rendering him insen-
sible almost immediately.

INDIA.

Advices from Calcutta to Sept. 8 have come to
hand.

The Englishman says :—" Taking a general view
of our position, it must be admitted that since the
setting in of the periodical rains the dispersion of
the rebels is limited to a narrower circle than would
have been the case at any other season of the year,
.na with the several columna now extended over
the principal portions of the disaffected districts,
we are in a position to exercise a greater check
upon the movements of the enemy. The ensuing
cold weather will no doubt see the end of the
mutineers.

"We learn that the Begum of Lucknow has
offered to give up the Nana to the British Govern-
ment providedshe is pardoned. We should be glad
to hear that these terms have been accepted, and that
the miscreant will be brought to justice at last.
" It is currently reported that Sir John Lawrence
is about to quit the Punjaub for England. His
personal presence, after the great services he has
rendered the State during the late crisis, will be
warmly hailed by the people in England."

The following telegrams from Allahabad have
been published by the Government :
,‘ ALLAHABAD, SEPT. 1.

" The telegrams received from Lucknow within
the last day or two inform us that, on the 28th, the
rebels were about throwing shot into our camp
near Sultanpore ; on the morning of the 29th the
cantonment was occupied without opposition. The
rebels returned to Sussunpore, where 7,000 of them,
with eight guns, are said to be assembled; the
..ntonments were found destroyed."

ALLAH-ABAD, SEPT. 2.

" It is reported from Sultanpore in Ouide that
the aebels intend to fall back on Ameitt, the strong-
hold of the rebel Raj Lai Nandosing, and partly on
Mozager Nugger, which is about ten miles from
Sultanpore. The Commissioner of Rohilcund
writes that part of the Philloobhat force, about
500 strong, attacked the rebels at Sizsoona on the
30th ult., at 7 a.m., and took three guns, their
ammunition, their camp, and three elephants.
Tantia Topee surrounded Juirapatam on the 26th
ult., and is said to have full possession of it. Col.
Lockhart's force is at Augur.

ALLAHABAD, SEPT. 6.

"At Gwalior four Sepoys of the 25th Bombay
N. 1., Hindoos of Oude, being instigated by a Brah-
min to induce their regiment to join the Nana, in-
formed their officers, pretended to join the plot,
were introduced to several conspirators, and in-
ducedlthem to come near the cantonments, and show
to the Hadar Major a Perwannah from the Nana.
As arrangedforehand, two officers appeared, and
the conspiratorkwere seized. Other arrests also
have been made by the Political Agent at Gwalior,
and the Perwannah, which bears date May last, is
in his possessson.

" Captain Nixon, the Bhurtpore political agent,
proceeded to Ulwar on the 30th ultimo, and was
well received by the Thakoors and city people.
The feelings of the Thakoors are greatly excited
against the Mahomedan parties in consequence of
their deceitful intention 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 a European
officer is deputed to Ulwar.
" It is reported from the Punjaub that the men
of the 62d and 69th Infantry had broken away
from Mooltan. The Adjutant of the Bombay Fusi-
liers and four Artillerymen killed. No further
particulars received.
" From Sultanpore in Oude we hear that nearly
all the rebels are at Judespore, twenty miles from
Sultanpore, on the Lucknow road; they number
about five thousand, and are said to have 8 guns.
In the Fort of Amethee there are reported to be one
thousand men and twenty-two guns. The rest of
the rebels have gone either to their homes or to
Byswara. The boats had arrived at Sultanpore,
and the bridge would probably be ready by the 2d."

CALCUTTA, SEPT. 8.

Exports.—The business in our market ha's progressed
but rather slowly, caused, we regret to say, by limited sup-
plies from the interior. With the exception of old seeds,
and to some extent of Benares sugar, the market is very
lightly supplied.
Imports.—The market has continued very favourable as
regards mule twist, and prices of all counts with the excep-
tion of No. 60 have improved 2 to 3 pie ; stocks in :first
hands are light.
The Money Market continues easy, and accommodations
are readily obtainable in the bazaar on good securities at 5
per cent., and even lower. There has been no change in
the Sank of Bengal rates since the 19th ult.
Government Securities have been rather dull since our

cent. loan not yet being closed. There are at present more
sellers than buyers.
EXCHANGE ON LONDON.—There was some business done
before :the last mail went out in American credits, at
2s. Oad.; since, at 2s. Ofd.; and latterly at 2s. Old., which
may be considered the rate for first-class American paper
and other credits.
In Documents, much has not been done ; but they are
now 2s. Ofd. to 2s. Old.
Treasury Bills have been sold at ls. lltd. Some of the
local banks have been open to draw at 2s. Old. during the
