GWALIOR.

At Gwalior, all that we know is that the Contingent has
mutinied ; and as this consists of 7 regiments of infantry,
2 of cavalry, and 5 companies of artillery, tl,e defec-
tion of this army is most serious. The Mahar: jah pro-
tected our ladies and the officers, who have all arrived
safely at Agra. The soldiery demanded that they should
be given up, but the Prince stood firm and rescued them.
We have now got to the end of this terrible list, and feel
that any attempt to heighten its significance by comment
would be misplaced. The empire is phasing through a most
terrible crisis in its history, and we are looking, with much
anxiety for reinforcements of European troops.
We are informed that Lord Elgin has determined to
direct all the troops for China to proceed to Calcutta. On
the 7th inst. his Lordship and Gen. Ashbnrnbam were at
Penang. The despatch of a considerable force to China
from home at this juncture is truly providential; and, as
no difficulty will be experienced in intercepting it, we hope
to have the force soon in Bengal.
Our Government (Bombay) has despatched a mission to
the Cape of Good Hope and Mauritius, under Captain Jen-
kins, to bring up as large a force as can be spared from
those colonies to our assistance, and it is thought prob .ble
he may succeed in getting us a reinforcement of 4,0u0 or
5,000 men. .

We have intelligence that our let Fusiliers have arrived
at Mooltan, and so secured the quiet of that part of the
Punjab, and her Majesty's 64th and 78th, which left this a
month ago, at Calcutta ; as also the battery of Madras
Horse Artillery which sailed in their company. Sir Patrick
Grant, who has been appointed to the command in Bengal,
arrived at Calcutta on the 17th ult.

DELHI.
Our latest advises from Delhi are not encouraging.
Gen. Barnard was waiting reinforcements on the morning
of the 17th, hiving repelled several sorties with success
and inflicted severe loss upon the rebels. The following
despatch hes been received from the General, relating the
success on the Bth nut.:—

" Delhi Cantonments, June 8.
" Sir,—The forces under my command marched from
Alipore at 1 a.m. this morning, and on reaching Baidleo
Seraee found the enemy strongy posted iu au int renched
position, which I have the satisfaction to inform you we
carried after an engagement of about three-quarters
of an hour, and proceeded to take up our present position,
which we found to ha over disputed ground the whole way,
and filially a well-defended line of defence from the signal
tower to the Hindoo Rao house. Our troops behaved with
the greatest gallantry and persevering endurance, and after
facing very determined resistance drove the enemy within
the walls of Delhi. Alt this was accomplished by 9 o'clock
in the morning. Our loss has been comparatively trifling,
only one officer being killed ; but I regret to say that officer
is Colonel Chester, Adjutant-General to the army, who
was esteemed by all for every qualiticativn that could adorn
the soldier. I have not been able to ascertain the par-
ticulars of our loss, or capture of guns, but I fear I cannot
estimate the former under from 43 to 50 killed ; the num-
ber of guns taken to be about 16 or 18.
" I do not in this hurried despatch attempt to recom-
mend any one, but I cannot pass over the assistance I re-
ceived from Brigadier Wilson, whose cool judgment en-
titles him to au equal share of any merit that may he given
to the officer in command. From the Brigadier-General
and staff of the army attached to me and from the divi-
sion staff I received every support, and from my personal
staff, Captain Barnard and Lieutenant Turnbull, the most
daring devotion. The conduct of the Ghoorka Battalion,
the Sappers, and other native troops employed was most
praiseworthy. They vied with their Eniropean comrades
in forward daring ; the troops of the native contingents
did equally good service, including those of the Jbeend
Rajah; and I cannot close this without especial notice of
many gentlemen attached to the army in civil capacities,
who nut only accompanied us into the field, but did
every service the extended nature of our position ren-
dered particularly important in keeping up mutual com-
munications.

" I hopo to send you a fuller detail to-morrow. Our
siege train is up, and I hops to open on the town with-
out a moment's delay. _ _
