L &TEST NEWS.

determined courage, as well as from his exploits
in the destruction of these animals, had shown
the rebels the stuff he was made of, proving that
his name might justly be associated with those of
CAMPBELL, LIATELOCK, OUTRAN', and the other
Paladins who have so gloriously distinguished
themselves:during the present contest : with his
cops of 4,000 men he got between two of the
rebel squadrons, one consisting of 21,000 rebels
with 21 guns, and the other of 8,000 men, and
8 guns. He thus prevented a junction, and beat
them in detail with a loss of 2,800 men, and
of all their guns. These were, indeed, bril-
liant achievements, for which both com-
mander and men deserve the highest praise.
By judicious tactics he removed every obstacle
on the route to Lucknow, and was enabled, as we
have already stated, to join Sir COLIN CAMPBELL
before the last stronghold of the insurgents.
Nor were the other leaders idle. Brigadier
HorK GRANT had marched from Oonas to Fut-
tehpore Chowrapie, the old haunt of the arch-
, demon NANA. SARIS, and completely destroyed it,
taking four guns and killing 1,800 insurgents,
while his own casualties did not amount to more
than I'7 or 18 men.

The columns under ROSE, WHITELOCK, ORR,
and STEWART were all gradually advancing into
positions in which they could intercept any scat-
tered bodies of the rebels after the defeat, which
iu all human probability they have already sus.
tained. The former had been delayed at Saugor
for want of provisions and means of transport,
but the cordon, was closing round the devoted
city, and we shall ere long hear of the results of
the judicious arrangements devised by the master-
mind of him who was once supposed to be a daring
fighter, a good General of Brigade, but nothing
more, and who had to submit to see a Guardsman
placed over his head in the position which lie by
right ought to have occupied.
Sir COLIN had 30,000 good men and true,
10,000 cavalry, and 120 guns under his command.
What may not be accomplished by such a man at
the head of such a body ? We believe that he will
render a speedy account of the insurgents, and
trample out the last remnant of the mutiny.
Their doom is sealed ; nothing can save the
ungrateful miscreants who wore faithless to
their salt, and strove to wound the hands
that gave them food. The avengers of blood
are before them, while they themselves, dis-
spirited and panic-stricken, are divided by inter-
nal dissension and only anxious to make terms for
themselves.

It is not the least gratifying part of the intelli-
gence that it is stated that ladies who
were supposed to have been brutally mur-
dered or otherwise ill-treated, are said
to be alive and well. They have probably been
kept as hostages whose intercession may save the
forfeited lives of those who had exhibited mercy
and kindness towards them. We shall extend the
benefit thereof to all who can show themselves
entitled thereto. On the whole, the tidings aro
the most satisfactory that have been received since
those announcing the rescue of Luckuow, and the
capture of aad they are unalloyed by any-
thing calculated to cause national regret.
We should add that Major Ci)KE, with some
of the Punjab regiments, is taking care, not of
" Dow-B," but of the upper part of the asab.

A most determined attempt at suicide cccurred in
Tunbridge-street, New-road, on Friday last. The
steward of a ship having lost his sitpation, the circum-
stance so preyed upon his mind, that be inflicted a most
frightful wound in his throat with a rag ir, exposing the
windpipe. He was conveyed to the Great Northern
Hospital, King'secross, where he was promptly attehded
to by the medical officers of that valuable institution.
DETERMINED SUICIDE OF A FEMALE IN ST. JAMES'S
FABK.—On Saturday Mr. Bedford, car Geer, received in-
formation of a most determined suicide by a respectably-
attired female in the ornamental water of St. James's
Park. The unfortunate woman was seen sitting in a quit
mood on one of the public seats near the water's edge at
the end of the Park adjoining the Horse Guards, when
suddenly she rushed from her position, and be'ore any
person could prevent her, precipitated herself into the
water. Several persons hastened to her assistance, but,
on being got out of the water, she was in a state of per-
fect insensibility. She was removed to Westminster
HoQpital, where she expired shortly after her admission.
The body has not yet been identified.
THE ISLINGTON TRAGEDY.--Upon making inquiries
on Saturday respecting the condition of the unfortunate
woman, Mary Oaborne, we were informed that she has had
a change for the worse within the last 24 hours, and has
relaesid into so great a [tate of prostration that Mr
Richardson, her medical attendant, gives but very little
hope of her long surviving unless some favourable change
takes plea e She wanders in her mind. Mr. Richardson
and his attendant have been unremitting in their atten-
tions to the wretched sufferer. The remains of the un-
fortunate husband were removed on Saturday from the
house in a hearse to Highgate Cemetery, and there
interred, followed by a large concourse • f persons, who
expressed the deepest sympathy at his untimely fate.
METROPOLITAN SUNDAY TRADING.—Yesterday morn-
ing, in consequence of a circular issued to the clergy of
his diocese by the Bishop of London, services were preached
in nearly all the metropolitan churches on the evils of
Sunday trading. In cur sequence of a similar request
from the Bishop of Wit eheste-, sermons were preached
to the came effect in all tke churches of Lambeth,
Southwark, Rotherhithe, and the other large parishes
on the Surrey side of the water. The Bishop of London
preaehed to a very large and attentive congregation at
St. Matthew's Church, Bethnal-green, a district in
which Sunday trading is carried on more extensively
than in any other portion of the metropolis.
Sr. JAMES'S HALL.—The second concert for the Mid-
dlesex Hospital took plans on Saturday evening, at the
above hall, which was again crowded in every port.
The Great Northern Railway Company announced
the opening, on April 5, of the " East Coast route," by
which goods and parcels will be conveyed from London
to Glasgow, via the Great Northern, N( rth-EAste a,
North British, and E linbargb and Glasgow Railways.
SADLERS' WELLS. A concert took place at this
theatre on Saturday evening, for the benefit of a literary
gentleman, who has been afflicted with paralysis upwards
of four years, at which a host of talented artist ~ English
and foreign (ail honour be to them), offered their gra-
tuitous services, and draw together an audience, not only
highly respectable, but so numerous, that the house: was
literally crammed. Stalls, boxes, pit, gallery, even on
the stage, the wings, in fact every inch which
could in any way be rendered available, was occupied,
and many, not being able to catch the slightest
glimpse of what was going forward, were obliged to be
content with the sweet sounds which reached them from
afar. Tne programme included some highly attrac-
tive features. Amongst the artistes were Mdlle.
Miss Dolby, Miss Louisa Vinnieg, Miss Mary Keeley,
Miss Messent, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Charles Brater. n,
Mr. Allan Irving, Mr. Ransford, &c., &c., the whsle of
whom exerted themselves most gloriously and moet
successfully in the good cause. Mr. Sines Reeves, as usual,
charmed his hearers by the very sweet style in which he
sang "Come into the garden, Maud," and "Who shall be
fairest ?" both of which were rapturously encored.
Madlle. Fined gave Rossini's " Una voce poco fa" most
exquisittl.,, and drew from the audience r. peated peals
ef admiring applause, with a most unanimous call f r a
repetition, which was of course acceded to. A great
merit of Madile. Finoli's singing consists in her adher-
ing strictly to the score, without introducing a single
note which was not written by the composer, and studi-
ously avoiding all ixtraneoue fioriture or embellish-
ment, a liberty indeed unpardonable, but in which
artistes too frequently indulge. Rossini'e duo, " Dunque
io son," was also to have been sang by Mdlle. Finoli
and Signor Lorenz, but much to the disappointment of
the audience it was omitted in consequence of the non-
attendance of the signor on the plea of indisposition.
MlB3 Messent acquitted herself with much taste in
" Dinna forget, Laddie," and Miss Mary Keeley sang
" Cherry Ripe," and " The Syren of the Ball,"
very pleasingly. The instrumentalists were Messrs.
Lehon, Vii tti Collins, Sydney Pratten, Case, and Sig-
nor Adreoli. The conductors were M. Frank Merl
and /I. W. Ganz, to whom the greatest praise is due
teert the very admirable manner in which they acquitted
iial.vea of their duties,

POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE FROM BOMBAY
BY THE OTTAWA.

SUEZ, MARCEL 25.
Vice-Consul West, Suez, to Acting Consul-General

Green, Alexandria.

The most cheering intelligence that has reached
Bombay for some time it is our good fortune to
be able to forward by this mail.

The Commander-in-Chief having received the
whole of the convoy and siege trains from Agra
on the 23d February, and subsequently learnt
that Stewart's, Orr's, Whitelock's columns were
well on their march towards Jhansi, broke up on
the 2d March from Cawupore, and proceeded to
Alumbagh. Having amassed his troops together
in advance, he despatched Sir James Outram
across the Goomtee on the 6th, and took up a po-
sition himself at Bilkhoosha (Dilkoosha). Sir J.
Outram crossed with 6,000 men and 30 guns,
and was attacked on the other side by the rebels.
The enemy, however, were repulsed by Sir Colin
Campbell, from Chanda.

The brigade of Jung Bahadoor was completed
at Nubtanporo on the 2d of March, and the
Goorkhas were to advance across the Goora.
Before the arrival of Sir Colin, General Outram
had to repulse a great attack made by the rebels
on his positions at Alutnbagh and Jellalabad.
This attack took place on the 21st, when the rebels
came on in great force, flanking two sides of our
positions and having a heavy column iu the centre.
Sir James Outram had received intelligence of the
attack by spies, and was prepared for it. He moved
out on the approach of the enemy, cut off both
their flanks, took two guns, and forced them to
retreat. His loss altogether trifling—viz., 21
wounded.

A second attack of the same kind was made on
the 25th, when they were repulsed with loss of
three guns.

Franks' column had also a decisive action. It
marched, 29th of February, in advance of Bud•
lapoore, and encountered the enemy near Shan-
dina. Brigadier Franks prevented a junction
between the two insurgent corps—the first under
Mahomet Dussein, and the second under a disaf-
fected Chuckladera ; the former had 21,000 men
and 21 guns ; the latter 8,000 men and 8 guns.
Ho out•manceuvred them, and beat them sepa-
rately, killing and wounding, 2,800, and taking
all their guns.

The rebel corps of Mahomet Dussein had taken
lip a strongly intrenclied poiition on the north of
Kadshag uller, eight miles from Shanda. Brigadier
Franks outfllnked them and forced them to retire,
with loss of tight
guns. Three miles further be
halted, when the second corps of robel3 attacked
them, and he was again victorious, and all obstacles
on his march to Lucknow were removed. At the
same time Brigadier Hope Grant marched from
Oonas to Futtehpere Chowrassie, the old haunt of
Nana Sahib, and blew it up, took four guns and
killed 1,800
men, with casualties amounting to
17 to 18. There waci a rumour at Cawnpore that

Nana Sahib had crossed the Ganges into the Doab,
but the rumour was unfounded.

The cavalry regiments resumed their march,
- -
and General Whitelock proceeded towards Jhansi.

Sir 11. Rose had not been able to move from
Saugor in consequence of failure of providing
provisions and transport ; but Ores column had
advanced past Bentka, 20 miles north-east of
Saugor, on the road from Shaghur to Petoril,
having had some skirmishes with rebels. Brigadier
Stewart was at Bhauri, near Goona. The fort of
Rhotos had been taken and occupied.
Chamberlain's force under Brigadier Penny
crossed the Ganges to Rohilcund on the 17th, and
encountered the rebels on the 24th.

Major Coke goes with a force of Punjab regi-
ments to watch the upper part of the Doab.

Sir John Lawrence and General Vau Cortlandt
reached Delhi on the 24th. From Rajpootana
we have cheering news.

Dates from Nusseerabad of the 27th February.
General Robert's brigade in a state of march,
with a strong body of infantry, the Bth Hussars,
200 Scinde horse, 800 regular cavalry, two troops
of Horse Artillery field batteries, besides 18 siege
guns, the General only waiting the arrival of the
72d Highlanders, due at Nusseerabad on the Bth
of March, to start for Kotab, where the enemy
muster 8,000 men, with 100 guns ; 20 only pro-
bably are of use in the field.

The Mokdurard Pass, in the hands of the
rebels, may have to be forced. In li9.ndeish
nothing new. In the South Mahratta country
the old rebellion of the Nawunt Narie Chief has
been renewed, and an attempt to pursue the main
body from Belgaum was defeated by the thick-
ness of the jungl©s in which the enemy had taken
refuge.

change for the steamer, but the market being
amply supplied the sales were at irregular prices ;
on London 7to 8 per cent. The accumulation of
specie in the banks continued, the export demand
having been checked by the decline in exchange ;

34,000,000 specie, including the California remit
tances. The Secretary of the Treasury had ac-
cepted all the bids for Treasury Notes made under

THE PAPAL STATES.

A letter from Rome of the 20th says :—" After
the Consistory held a few days ago by the Pope,
the new Cardinals Antonucci, Orfei, Milesi, De
Silvestri, and Mertel, assembled iu the Sixtine
Chapel, and took the usual oaths in presence
of the cardinals who are chiefs of orders, and
of the functionaries who figure on such occa-
sions. The consistorial advocate, Mgr. Giau-
santi, delivered in presence of the Pope a
discourse ou the lratific tLions of the venera-
ble servant of God, John Sarcauder. This done,
the new cardinals, kneeling at the foot of the throne,
kissed first the foot and then the hand of the Pope,
on which his Holiness raised and embraced them.
Each of the new cardinals then went round to the
other cardinals and gave them in succtssion
`the kiss of peace,' and the latter complimented
them on their elevation. Then the new cardinals
seated themselves for a moment in the places pro-
vided for them ; and then returning before the
Pope prostrated themselves, and received from
him the red hat, in Sign of the blood which
Jesus Christ shed for us and of that which they
must be ready to shed for the faith. The public
cerimony being now ended, the Sacred College
went in procession to the Sixtine Chapel, where a
Te Deum was sung. The procession having returned
to the ball, a Secr9t Consistory was held, at which

numerous nominations of new bishops in foreign
countries were announced. The Pope afterwards
placed a ring on a finger of each of the new
Cardinals, and announced to them the titles which
they are to bear. The Pope then retired to his
private apartments."
Another letter from Rome of the 20th states that
Cardinals Martel and Milesi, Ministers of the In-
terior and Public Works, had resigned, and been
succeeded by Mgrs. Pila and Amici. The letter
adds that it was believed Cardinal Milesi was to be
sent to Bologna as legate.

PARIS, SUNDAY.

The Moniteur has the subjoined : "It is
rumoured that the Emperor of then ench may pay
a visit to Queen Victoria, at Osborne, this
summer.

The Moniteur's first paragraph on Saturday
runs, thus :—" For some time past, foreign jour-
nals amused their readers by daily announcements
of pretended changes in the composition of the
Ministry and of the principal functionaries of
Government. Thoso rumours are absolutely des-
titute of foundation.

The Government are about to lay before the Corps
Legislatif a bill relative to the construction of works
to prevent the recurrence of inundations, which
periodically occasion such terrible disasters in the
valleys of the Rhone and the Loire. The valleys of
the Garonne and the Seine are also to be efficiently

BORSE TAMING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Conduit-street, March 25, 1858,

SIR, —As the subject of horse•taming by a pec

liar method excites public interest at present, I
take the liberty of sending you some striking facts
(published all but one by me in the Zoist) of the
effects of a well-known process.—l have the honour
to remain, yours faithfully,

JOHN ELLIOTSON.
" Mote Park, Athlone, Jan 1, 1843.
" My dear Elliotson,--At Lord Ely's farm is a yard-dog,
so savage and ferocious no one dare approach him. I was
determined to beat him, and in 30 minutes had him fast
asleep, his last sigh being a deep growl. In presence of
several persons I then kissed the dog on his forehead, and
there left him to awake at his leisure.—Yours most truly,
" MARLBOROUGH."
I requested the duke to learn the subsequent
state of the dog, and the following was the reply :
" Blenheim, February, 1843.
" My dear Elliotson,--I have a letter from Ely Lodge
this morning, written by Lord Adam Loftus. I extract as
follows :—` The dog has been quite stupid ever since.'
" I must now tell you what I have been doing here. I
have also a very savage yard-dog. I tried him to-day ;
in about 15 minutes he ran into his kennel and hid his eyes
from the manipulating process—growling, snarling, and
barking most furiously, notwithstanding. I then mad,
the man who feeds him, and who is the only person
who dares go near him, drag him out of his kennel,
and nail up a hurdle before the entrance, so as
keep him effectually outside. I then went to wort.
again, the dog, as you may suppose, being ten times morn
furious. In about 45 minutes I had him so quiet, op-
pressed, and stupid, that he dropped his nese several times
in the mud around his kennel, and kept shutting an,
opening his eyes. Carts and horses, and men and boys
were passing and repassing, which served continually to
arouse him, so that I could not satisfactorily complete th,
task, and leave him dead asleep; besides which,. a heat')
snow storm was falling all the while, and I could not feel
my finger ends. But I completely subdued the beast, and
patted him on the heal before I left.—Yours Inds,
sincerely, " MAilituoßoUGH.”
My friend, the Rev. Mr. Bartlett, produced
mesmeric effects upon a bull, as he thus wrote me
word :

" My Dear Sir,—lt may perhaps not be uninteresting to
hear of a little incident which occurred to me in the au-
tumn of 1847, when I was in Westmoreland and Cumber-
land. Upon descending a mountain over which I had bee,
wandering alone, and enjoying the magnificent prospec'
which opened before me, I found myself in a narrow road
between two stone fences, which perhaps separated the
lands of different proprietors, On one side of the fences
were cattle and a bull. The bull approached the fence i❑

an angry mood and walked along the other side of it,
parallel with me for more than a quarter of a mile ; ht
then grew more excited, tore the ground with his horns,
and bellowed fiercely. As I could not but apprehend that,
should there be a breach in the wall he might leap over anti
attack me, I was considering what course it was best to
take when we came to a very high and strong gate. Upon
reaching the gate, the bull rushed close up to it and bel-
lowed loudly through it. As I knew that he could neithei
leap over ner force this gate, I also approached it, and
looked him steadily in the face. In about a minute I
caught his eye, which then fixed upon me. In about an-
other minute a twinkling of the eyelids arose very simile'
to that of a human subject at an early stage of mesmeric
influence. After probably three or four minutes, the eyes
gradually closed, and the Lull remained quiet, and ap-
peared to be as immoveable as if he had been chiselled by
the hand of the sculptor. The transition from Ins pre-
viously excited state to his perfectly motionless state was_
indeed most striking.
" I could not but feel thankful that all danger from the
bull was now past, and after looking at his fixed form for
a few minutes more, I descended the reitain ler of the
mountain and did not stop to wake him.--Believe me,
dear Dr. Elliotson, very faithfully, Yours,
" T. BARTLETT.
"Kingstone, near Canterbury, Aug. 23, 1830."
In Chambers' Journal for October 27th, 1850,
is the following account :--
"A gentleman residing at Oxford had in his possession
a young Syrian bear from Mount Lebanus, about a year
old. This bear was generally good humoured, playful, and
tractable. One morning the bear from the attentions of
some visitors became savage, irritable, and the owner in
despair tied him up in his usual abode, and went away to
attend to his guests. In a few minutes he was hastily
recalled to see his bear. He found him rolling ,
about on his haunches, faintly moving his paws, and gra-
dually sinking into gst ate of quiescence and repose. Above
him stood a gentleman well known in the mesmeric world,
making the usual passes with his hands. The poor bear,
though evidently unwilling to yield to this new influence,
gradually sauk to the ground, closed his eyes, became mo-
tionless, and insensible to all means used to recover him.
He remained in this state for some minutes, when he awoke,
as it were, from a deep sleep, shook himself, and tottered
about the court, as though labouring under the effects of a
strong narcotic. Ho exhibited evident signs of drowsines,
for some hours afterwards. This interesting scene took
place in the presence of many distinguished members of
the British Association, when last held in the University
of Oxford.—F. T. BUCKLAND (son of the late Dun of
Westminster.)"

The distinguished Rev. Dr. Conyers Middleton, in
his Free Inquiry, relates, from St. Jerome, that—

" A Bactrian camel of enormous size, which had already
destroyed many people, was taken to St. Hilarion, and
about 30 men were employed to drag him along with the
strongest ropes. His eyes were bloody, his mouth foam-
ing, his tongue rolling and swollen, and his strange roaring
above all terrors, upon which all who were about him
ran away immediately. The Saint came forward, and so
he stood firm with his arm stretched out; and as the beast
advanced towards him furious, and ready to devour him,

presentlyit fell down with its head to the ground, so that
all present were amazed at the sudden change from so
great a fierceness to such a tameness."
Middleton regarded the narrative as a fabrication
but the account of .the energy of the fanatic de-
votee, the stretching out of his arms with, no
doubt, a determined stare as he boldly advanced—
the falling down of the huge beast powerlessly be-
fore him, and its sudden change from fierceness to
tameness, are a most graphically mesmeric descrip-
tion.

In the last report of the Mesmeric Infirmary
is detailed the mesmeric cure of an epileptic lad,
who was always sent to sleep by the process. It is
stated—.

" The boy had always b3en irritable and rather intract-
able ; now his temper is completely changed. This favour-
able change of temper has been noticed in other ewes in
which mesmerism was used."
