We have • received the following' narrative of
events from the Government at Calcutta :--
" The narrative transmitted by Alio mail on the
21st ult. contained the news received up to that date.
AGRA. —A letter from the Li.elitenant-Governor,
date I Vie 30th June accompaning, gives the occur-
reuces in the North West Provinces up to that date.
Last news up to July.l9 :—The fort is still occu-
pied, and tranquillity has been restored in the city
and cantonments. ' On the sth July 500 td the 3d
Regiment, with the European Ilor4e Battery,
moved out to attack the Meerut mutineers. Two
ammunition waggons blew up, an I want of ammu-
nition compelled the troops to le ire, which was
done in an orderly manner. The result was the re-
moval of the troops into the fort, where the Euro-
pean inhabitants had already been asseinbled. - The
Agra Government has. been desired to open a com-
munication daily with Delhi, as well as with Cavr ri-
pore. Lieut.-Col. Cotton was direeted to take com
mand of the troops, superseding Brigadier Polwhele.
" ALLAHABAD.—SuppIies of, all kiuds collecting
fast. Country tranquil, and order restored here
as well as in • the neighbourhood. An extensive
entrenchment, is being made under the directions
of Capt. Yule, of the Engineers. The c mn`ry has
provided abundant supplies of all kinds, which are
being stored for the troops expected.
" ATTACK.--LNO news.
" AZDIGIIHR.—The mutiny of the 12th Irregular
Cavalry at Segowlee contpelled the Azimghur party
to abandon that place a second time. The troops
had previously had some engagements with insurT
surgents and Mudha Persa,ud. " The detachment
of the 12th Irregular Cavalry on duty at Azimghur
deserted on hearing of the mutiny of the head-
quarters of the corps, but did no injury to their
officers. Five hundred Ghoorkas have been or-
dered to this place, but had not arrive.
" BARRA.CKPORE (FORT WILLIAM.)--Nothing
remarkable. There was a considerable panic among
the inhabitants of Calcutta at the time_ of the
Bukeereed, which, however, passed eff quietly.
The body guard have had their arms, &c., lodged
in the arsenal. Two regiments of Madras Native
Infantry have reached Calcutta, and are about to
be despatched—one to Dinapere by steam, the
other up the Trunk road ' • 100 European infantry
and a detachment of 190 Sikhs have been sent to
Raneegunge. The Sikhs have been taken from the
native regiments below Allahabad, and formed into
a separate corp. At present only 120 have been
broukht together.
" BAREILLY.,--No news.
" BENARES.—A fortified position lias bmulaken
up at Rtjhat. Guns have been sent down from Al-
lahabad and Chunar to mount on the vtarks. All
quiet. The Irregular Cavalry remnant of the 13th .
was disarmed, and deprived of their horses on the
6th inst..
" BERHAMPOR,E.—The troops, consisting of the
52d Regiment Native Infantry, and about 400 men
of the 11th Irregular Cavalry, were disarmed with-
out difficulty on the 2d of August. The Newab
Nazeem's troops and the townspeople were also
disarmed quietly on the following day. Zile horses
of tha cavnlry, as well as the arms, were taken
away fronithem.
" BHAUGULPORE.—AII_ quiet by last ac,couuts.
Orders were sent to disarm the troop +, but the
Commissioner represents that the order could not
be carried out at Bhaugulpore ;• the greater part
of the sth Irregular Cavalry was in the district,
whsn it would be impossible to carry into effect the
disarming, and if the attempt were made it would
be followed by the murder of the officers detached,
as well as the civilians at outposts.
" BOLUNDSHITHIIR.—Nothiug from this place.
" CAwNPORE was re-occupied on the 17th. The
Nena Sahib fled from Bithoer, wl,i di was taken
possession of by the troops, his palicd burnt and
magazine blown up; -13 guns were taken, and a
number of animals. Brigadier General Havelock's
force effected the passage of the river by the 28th,
having met with great difficulty on account of the
want of boats. Brigadier General Neill was left in
command at Cawnpore, with a small force of 300
Europeans and some guns, and he had re-estab-
lished the British authority in the city and bazaar,
and the neighbourhood was tranquil. Gen. Have-
lock marched on the morning of the 29th, met the
enemy at Oonou, defeated them, and took three
guns. After resting he proceeded on, when the
enemy advanced to meet him ; an action took
place, which resulted in the total defeat of the
enemy with the loss of 12 more guns. Brigadier
Gen. Havelock proceed on to Busheergunge where
he again met with opposition, but he took the plat-,
driving out the enemy, and took 4 more guns—in
all 19 guns.

ROYAL GARDENS CREMORNE,
Positively the last week of the Season In consequence of
the favourable change in the weather, the proprietor has determined
upon continuing the Amusements for One Week longer. This day
( Monday), and during the week :—Military Band— Vocal and In-
struirwnial Concert—Ur. Rolfe in his admind, .entertainment—The
New Benet, "Mad as a March Hare."—Dancing on the Crystal
Platform—The Royal Marionettes, &c., &o.
N.B. Mr. wrnp,on requests that all claims upon the establishment
be sent in by Saturday, the 2 th inst., and if found correct, a cheque
for the amount may be received the following Saturday.

July mentions that the troops had remained merely
on the defensive up to the 14th. Tha mutineers
attacked every third or fourth day, and were inva-
riably repulsed with loss. Our force consists of
about 6,000 troops of all kinds, exclusive of sick
and wounded. Up to the 14th there bad been 159
killed, 583 sick, and 352 wounded.
" DINAPORE. —The three Native Regiments, -the
7th, Bth, and 40th, deserted bodily ou the after-
noon of the 25th, taking wi, h them their arms. The
percussion caps in store had been removed in the
morning, and the demand to deliver over the caps
in pouch was the cause of the mutiny. An attempt
was, after some delay, made to follow the muti-
neers, but its rosult was quit s fru tlass. No-
thing was done fur some dap, when a detachment,
consisting of two companies of the I.oth Foot, two
companies of the 22d Foot, and 50 Salle, were sent
under Capt. Dunbar, of the 10th, to drive the mu-
tineers out of Arrah, to which place they had pro-
ceeded and were besieging the civil officers and Eu-
ropean resident. The party landed at night from
the steamer and proceeded towards Arrah. In the
dark they were led into an ambuscade, were attacked
by the mutineers, and driven back with the loss of
nearly half the party. The remnant h returned
to Dinapore. Major-Gen. Lloyd has been removed
from his command for his culpable neglect, and the
Commander-in-Chief has been requestel to insti-
tute the usual preliminary inquiry preparatory to
histrial by court-martial. No further attempt made
to relieve Arrah from .Dinapore; but Major Eyre,
of the Artillery, had proceeded from Buxar with 3
guns and 150 of the sth Fusiliers, and is undersrood
to have reached Arrah on the 3d. The mutiny of
the Dinapore troops has rendered the Trunk-toad
unsafe, and has put a stop to the tel graphic com-
munication with Benares. The mail carts, how-
ever, continue to run regularly. Troops are now
being sent along the Trunk-road to occupy it.
" FEROZEPORE. —No news. It is under-tool that
the 10th Light Cavalry have been disarmed.
" FUTTYGLIVR. —lt is understoo that Futtyghur
has fallen. Many of the officers and European resi-
dents were killed ; others escaped, were taken by
Nena at Bithoor, and were murdered at Cawnpore
on the 15th July to the number of 49.
" GIIIZEEPORE. —All continues well. Two guns
have been lauded at this place. The Azimghur
party had arrived.
" GoituckroßE.—Five hundred Goorkhas were
at the place. Two companies of the 17th N.I. and
the detachment of the 12th Irregular Cavalry were
disarmed on the Ist inst.
" GWALIOR. —No certain news had been received
from this place at Agra up to July 19th. It was
thought that the mutineers would not move away
from Gwalior.
"1124.eTst AID HISSAR. —Nothing from these
places.
" HAZIREEBAUGH.—Tvro companies of the Bth
N.I. mutinied on the let ; 200 men of the Ram-

CHOLERA AND FAMINE AT SONSONATE

•The following letter from the agent to Lloyd's at
Sonsonate, Republic of Guatemala, has produced a
very painful felling in the city, and the suggestion
contained therein will, it is to be hoped, be
promptly carried out :—" Sonsonate, July 28,
1857.—Cholera is now raging throughout San Sal-
irador. Alretily, a tenth of the population of the
capital have fallen victino, while in Sonsonato
to this day some 650 have died. It was brought to
this republic by the troops just returned from Ni-
caragua, first breaking out on their extending
through this unfortunate country. What is the
_more distressing is the want of medical men, seve-
ral cities containing a population of from 8,000 to
10,000 Indians and others being without medical
men or even medicines. It is stated that the
cholera is subsiding, but we dread a famin", which
in these countries is a fearful visitation. Could not
a subscription be gathered under the patronage of
Lloyd's for the relief of the unforunatesl I am
sure the merchants of London would coatribute. I

bread every Saturday to a host of recipients, but I
am obliged to send many away hungry and starving
from want of the means of assisting them. In San
Salvador (the capital) the dead. bodies were placed
in piles and burnt, the authorities not having had
time to dig pits for their interment, while in other
towns instandA have occurred - where the bodies
have been left in the cemeteries uncovered, to be
devoured by the vultures, which are hovering over
our heads from morning till night. Business, as a
matter of course, is entirely suspended, and on
passing through the streets one only encounters
pale panic-stricken faces peering from the doors and
windows, while the occasional cries from such far&

it being the rainy season, such is the dread Of ex-

consequently the crops will not be gathered. I,

to accelerate the general misery, which the cholera

THE 111 MALAYA AND LION
TRAIVSPORTS.

The accompanying extract from a letter this
morning received from 04phin Inglis, master of
the iron ship Gauntlet, may be interesting as fur-
nishing another notable instance of an iron steam-
ship laying for some time ashlre and coming off
without damage.
The immense weight of so large a ship as the
Himalaya, 3,500 tons register, with her stores,
wa'er and troops on board, and the graat speed at
which she was steaming (14 knots or about 16 miles
an hour), must have produced a concussion that
would have shaken to pieces many a good wooden
ship, and may be fairly taken as another striking
instance favourable to the tenacity of well-con-
structed iron ships.

(Extract.)
" Ship Gauntlet, Hong ISong,ly 25.
" Dear Sirs,—l beg to inform you of my arrival
here on the 17th inst., after a fair passage of 98
days from the Start Point, including two days

THE GATE EXECUTION OF CAPTAIN

ROGERS.

The following is a copy of a letter written by
Capfain Rogers the night previous to his execut'on,
to a friend connected with the owners of the ship
he had command of, protesting his innocence :

" Kirkdale Gaol, Sept. 11. 1857.
"My dear Fellow,—l duly received your kind and
welcome letter of the 7th inst., and thank you for the
trouble you have had on my accuunt. I am happy to say
the mates have got their lives spared ; they have got
transported for life ; but there is no hope for me. But,
my dear fellow, I shall die an innocent man ; and I hope
and trust that God will receive my soul. I am more than
obliged to you for the advice I received from you in godly
affairs. Mrs. Rogers has been almost every day to see me,
but this day I take my final farewell of my poor fatherless
children. May God be a father to them. We bad prayer
yesterday, and to-day we take the sacrament together, and
may God bless her and. them in this world. My dear
fellow, I have not neglected my prayers since I have
been condemned, and if God will accept them, I hope to
be happy in the next world. But it seems to me like a
dream ; and I think the reason is that I am not guilty of
the crime. This God knows. You wish to know how
I am. At some times I am ready to burst with grief.
and there is times that lam quite resigned to my fate. I
think I should• have died had not Mrs. Rogers been
here ; but, poor thing, she has kept up my failing heart.
The officers and governor have been very kind to me,
more than any man could expect, and I am very thankful
to them for their kindness. I have had more comfort
than evil. I thought to obtain, .but God is good. I have
another good friend, and that is the chaplain. He is so
very kind ; both him and the Governor have been
more than I can say. •I hope the Lord will bless
them for their kindness to me and my poor wife and
children. You must consider that I am in tine
gaol, a c mdermsed prisoner, and death is my fate,
although not guilty of the crime charged. You say in
yours that there has been a memorial from Liverpool,
out that I sent myself, and the reply was, the jury
found me guilty, and I must suffer. My lawyer went
to London and saw Sir George Grey, and hid all things
before Len, and they said as the jury had found me
guilty I must suff?r death, and God receive my poor
soul. I must conclude. By the time you get this I
shall be no more. lam thankful they have spared the
lives of my poor mates. So now, my-dear fellow, God
bless you and all your family, as this is my last letter
in this world, but I hope to meet you in the world to
come, where no person can swear anybody's life away.
But I forgive them (ai I hope to be forgiven myself), so
good bye, and the Almighty be with you.
"J remain, my dear fellow,
" Yours truly, not guilty,
" H. ROGERS::

GREAT Loss OP PROPERTY BY FlRE.—During Sae
turday morning several fires occurred in the metropolitan
district ; one in particular was attended with the de-
-truction of several thousand pounds of property, and
the others, although not of an extensive character,
caused the greatest alarm to prevail in some of our most
densely populated localities. Oae fire 'happened in the
extensive range of premises belonging to Mears Yeats
and Co., musical manufacturers, carrying on business at
No. 60, Berry-street, Great Sutton-street, Cleikenwell.
Mr. Connorton, the foreman of the West of England,
estimates the damage done at 5,0001.
GOVERNMENT PROTECTION TO EMIGRANTS FOR CAN ADA
AND THE UNITED STATES. —A9 soon as an emigrant ship
reaches the emigrant station in the St. Lawrence, at
Grosse Isle, a few miles below Quebec, she is boarded by
the Government Medical Officer. It there are ary sick
on board they are landed and remain at the hospital, at
the expense of the Governtnent, until they are cured. Ime
mediately on the ship's arrival at Quebec, Mr. Buchanan,
the Government Emigration Agent, goes on board. He
inquires into all cornplainte, and sees that all the condi-
tions of the Act of Parliament for protecting emigrants
have been strictly complied with. This he is able to do
in a most effective manner, a', whenever an emigrant
ship leaves a British port for Quebec, the Government
Emigration Officer port at the forwaris to him, by mail
steamer, a list of every passenger, with their names, ages,
sex, trade, &c. This list is always received by Mr. Bue
chanan a fortnight before the ship's arrival. He thus
posseses every particular that may be useful to biro in
protecting the emigrants, and directing them to where
they can at once get suitable employment. If there be
any just cause of complaint against the capfain of a ship,
justice is afforded by a very summary law passed for the
purpose, and Mr. Buchanan himself superintends the
prosecution. The Government of Canada has issued a
pamphlet upon the resources of the country and the pro-
spects in store for the industrious of all classes who
desire to make it the land of their adoption. This
pamphlet, as well as full particulars of the through.
booking system, by which emigrants are protected from
the time of their landing until they reaeh their destina-
tion, together with maps of the Canadian Railwayge
showing their connection with those of the United
States, continue to be issued gratuitously to all whey
apply for them, personally or by letter, at2lthe offices of
the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, ,Old Broad.
