the important district of Goruckpore has been
abandoned by the order of this Government. The
garrison of Lucknow has n)t beeu relieved, and it
appears unlikely that our troops can reach it before
the end of this month. The mutineers and insur-
gent; though con• emptibl3 in the field, are so nu-
merous as to throw great difficulties in the way of
an advancing force, and Cie season in which every
stream is ovetflowing and the country almost Ma-
passable is an additional obstacle to military opera-
tions. At this season, too, the exposure of a cam-
paign inevitably produces much sickness, and onr
European soldiers have suffered severely from it.
We expect some reinforcements during the present
month, and by the end of Oct. we may reasonably
hope for the arrival of a force sufficient to put
down rebellion in these provinces. Its fate inUpper
India must be decided by troops sent up the Indus
and the Punjab levies. Order and obedience may
then be restored, and an entire new system adopted,
whether military or civil. It is too soon to speculate
upon the course that ought to be orwill be pursued,
at present it is sufficient to record events which
follow in such rapid succession, and which must
ultimately determine the measures to. be adopted.
" We observe that the home authorities boast of
the slight depreciation which the rebellion has
caused in Government securities. In the revolted
district Company's paper for the last three months
has been sold at 50 to 85 per cent. discount ! This,
however, affords no criterion of public opinion, as
much so offered may either have been plundered
from its rightful owners or been the property of
those in open rebellion, to whom it was valueless.
But here at the seat of Government and the centre
of money trans ►etions the fall has been steady and
c insiderable. Five per cent. parer has been. sold
at 12, and four per cent. paper at 24 per cent. dis-
t•ent, and no considerable sum could be disposed
of even at a much lower rate,

" The Bank of Bengal last week issued a circu-
lar to the other local banks, announcing that the
directors have resolved upon declining to make any
loans or opening cash credits on deposit of Com-
pany's paper, and that all applications for renewal
of existing loans or cash credits must be submitted
for the special consideration of the directors.
" This measure, at a moment when the approach-
ing Doorgah Poojah holidays naturally create an
increased call for accommodation, will be produc-
tive of serious inconvenience, and may be attended
with disastrous consequence to the mercantile
community and to trade in general.
" The Bank of Bengal ou,ht to have dawn in
its horns the day after the news of the Delhi mas-
sacre arrived. But the Government directors have
acted like inexperienced navigators, who trust
they can carry sail through what they deem and
assert to be a mere passing squall, while more ex-
perienced seamen
,have already wade all snug in
expectation of the coming hurricane."

their march towards Delhi last night.
A letter from Hansi reports that the affair with the
insurgents at Hissar (which was noticed in the public
papers of yesterday) was most satisfactory, about 350 of
them having been killed. Lieut nant Boileau, who had
received a severe sword cut, was doing well.
The revenue collections in liurreeanah are progressing

ghur, Brigadier-General Nicholson marched this even-

"9 a.m., Aug. 26.—Brigadier-General Nicholson at-
t locked the force of the enemy that hail moved to Nu-
zuffghur yesterday evening and completely routed them,

wounded. The fugitives having returned to Delhi an
attack was commenced on our position at 10 a.m. to-
day. The mutineers came out in great force, apparently
believing that we had but few troops left in camp. They
have made no impression whatever on us and have
caused very few casualties,. ,

Major Becher, commanding in Hazara, reports, on the
25th inst., that another party of 43 men (including two
native officers) of the 55th Regi►nent Native Infantry,
which reached the Cashmere border, had been forwarded
to him by order of his Highness Maharajah Rhumbeer

interest in our cause.

A report from Lieutenant Mildmay, Assistant Politi-
cal Agent, on deputation with a force of his High-
ness the Maharajah of Kkaneer, has been received, of
the action fought at Hisser on the 19th inst. An in-
surgent force of upwards of 2,000 men, bores asd foot,
under Mahomed Azeem, attempted to surprise the gates
of the town of Hissar about half-past 10 a.m. A timely
alarm was however given, and Lieut. Mildmay and his
officers immediately arranged his small force to repel the
attack. His force consisted of a company of the 31

tached to Rajah J owahir Singh's troops received a severe

15 men wounded. Lieut. Mildmay makes particular
mention of the services rendered by Lieutenants Hunt

saftty.of the town and leading on theattack of the enemy
To the services rendered by Mr. Taylor, Superintendent
of Government farms, who first gave the alarm on the
approach of the insurgents, and subsequently charged
with the Tawanah Horse, Lieut. Mildmay expresses him-
self much indebtei'. He also bears testimony to the gal-
lantry of Mr. Jackson (a volunteer attached to General
Van Courtlandt's force), who accompanied the Kuttar
Mookhee Conspany in dislodging a body of the insurgen s
from a strong position they had occupied. The native
chiefs are all reported to have conducted themselves ad
