KAPUT NEWS.—(This Uay.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Notwithstanding that we had a very limited supply of
Enelish wheat in our market to-day, the demand for all
kinds ruled exceedingly heavy, at barely Monday's decline
in the quotations. The general quality of the samples was
by no means good.
The fresh imports of foreign wheat have been limited,
yet the show of samples, ex granary, was good. So few
transactions took place that prices were almost nominal.
In floating cargoes of grain very little was passing.
Barley was in fair supply and sluggish request, but not
°haver.
There was a fair demand for malt at foil
prices.
Oa s, beaus, and peas changA at slowly, at Mon-
day's fall in value. The flour trtd, was very dull.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
The supply of boasts in to-day's market was very mo,le-
rate in nutuber and deficient in quality. For most breeds
we had a fair iewand, at Monday's currency. Sheep, the
show of which was limited, moved off slowly, yet prices
were supported. There was very inquiry for lambs,
and the top figure for them was 7s per 81bs. From the Isle
of Wight 23 head came to hand. We were scantily sup-

THE MIDDLE AGES AND OUR OWN TlMEs.__There
another fact I would dare to match with ail the uptn,l-tery
confession of the middle ages. Show me the equivalent
to a money-loving people putting its hands into its own
pocket, not to build proud towers, but to emancipate de-
graded savages ; giving 20,000,000, not at the bidding of
an imperious monarch or a tyrannical priesthood, but at
the spontaneous uall3 of the national conscience, and by
the immediate instrumentality of the national will. Then(
is a moral grandeur in this " money I.:rant " that sinks the
Pyramids into littleness. As tor Christian heroism, what
can history ohronicfe or poetry invent of Godfrey,
Richard, or St. Lou's, that does not pale before the
simple details of that poor despised Patagonian mis
Sion of the other day ? I will nut be content myself
with even the names of "Nightingale " and her noble
aistere.—.Rev. Edward Young on Pre-.Rojfaclitioni.

posts, and the inntine&s stationed themselves
so as to prevent all 'communication through
the city. I was-Unable to warn Bradford. • Thf-y
came down upon us in three divisions with two guns
attached to each, and ha.ving.no mear.s of resiganee,
we bolted from my.gateway towards the Akburpore
road. We at first intended to go to Shag*, but,
fearing the sowars, who Were most bloodthirsty, I
turned off,as soon as:wegot out of sight and made -
for Ramp Ore; but finally vieiit to Gowrah. I knew ,
the Zsmindars well in these parts. We , changed
quafters in the evening to a pundit's at no.Rreat -
distance, and thence went to Shahgunj. We had. •
at that time the Azitrighur mutineers coming on the
Tanda-road and those from Beitares on the DOApore
and Akburpore lines. Bradford managed -to get
away on foot. I had lent him my Arab for the flight
but he could not find him. We were afterwards told
that these brutes. of sowars followed us as far as
Bhadursa, but we saw nothing of them.
" The day after we ea ;lied Shahgunj, Man
Singli sent to say that . the tr:T•ps would not harm
the ladies and children, 'but insisted upon our
being given up, and were coming to search the
fort ; that he would get boats, and that we must
be off at once. We were all night going across
couutry to the Ghat, at Jela.leoclen-nuggur, during
which time we were rubbed by Man Siugh's men of
almost all the few things we had managed to take
with us. The ladies took some of the traps to
Shahguni—of course we had only the • clothes on
our backs—however we get off first in two boats,
but afterw.ards in one-8. women, 14 children, and
7 men. We• suffered greet misery and discomfort.
The heat, too, was terrific. We were plundered
by Oodit Narain, one of the Birhur men, and when
they took Orr and me in'o one of the forts, I fully
,expected to •be polished off, and all the ladies got
ready to throw 'their, children into " the river and
jump after. them. However, God willed it other-
wise, and Madho Per sad, the Birhur Baboo, came
to the rescue—entertained us hospitably for five or •
six days, and' then for Warded ua to -Gopalpore, -
where, we were comparatively safe, :Here we patted
from Bradford.

"Madho Persad. has lately been malting vicious
attacks upon Azinagbur, and, has, got, well beaten
two or three times • but, of course, the 65th Regi-
meat of. Native Infantry will mutiny, when he will
have it all his own way.
"Orr has gone on to CaWnpore. Thnlburn is to
have charge of the bazaar here. Bradford was em-
ployed at Benares, bUt volunteered to serve as lo
captain, with the artillery, and his services, were
accepted: I have been appointld temporarily to
the Commissariat, and expect to move on shortly.
We are decidedly in difficulties no's, and if regi-
ments come not immediately overland we must
expect more disasters before tYs mutiny can be
quelled."

LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 29, 1857.

We have many telegrams relating to the state
of affairs in India. They are, indeed, deeply in-
teresting, coming simultaneously from Calcutta
and Bombay, and being far more copious than
those usually given. The remonstrances of the
Press have thus proved beneficial, and we may
look forward to further improvement.
The first name on every lip will be that of HAVE-
LOCK—the first thought of every heart, that respect-
ing the proceedings of his " handful of heroes." It
was known by the last mail that aftsr a succession
of triumphs he had been compelled to retrace his
footsteps, in order to leave his sick and wounded
in a safe position, where they could obtain the as-
sistance so urgently required, and where the cap-
tured guns which could not be rendered avail-
able, might be secured against any probable con-
tingency. He did not long remain in the enjoy-
ment of the ease so nobly earned, and so much
required. Although his force had been "reduced
by exposure, fatigue, sickness, and constant fight-
ing," he only rested a few days. He again
started on the 4th of August, despite the over-
whelming odds he was compelled to encounter,
en route for Lucknow. Two battles were

fought, in both of which he was suc-
cessful, capturing the guns of the rebels.
Bithoor had been reoccupied by 4,000 men
and fi►e pieces of cannon ; and though his re-
turn to Cawnpore was only on the 13th August,

he had again routed the mutineers and taken the
stronghold, which, as the residence of the mis-
creant, NANA SAHIB, is greatly thought of by
friends and foes, on the 16th. Ho was, however,
compelled to await adequate reinforcements before
he could attempt to relieve Luckaow, which wa
still placed in jeopardy, and where the gallant
BANICS had shared the fate of his distinguished
leader—Sir H. LAWRENCE. To move onwards,
ruttier existing circumstances, would be an act of
gable folly, almost of insanity—leading to the
eert"ht annihilation of his followers, who had
bQern resit:teed to 900 in the formidable triali
they hafteneountered. It is feared that he could
not reAve the indispensable reinforcements be-
fore a fortnight from the date of the last

BENGAL AND BEHAR.

Major Eyre, with 3 gnus and about 150 Earc-
peans defeated the rebels under Kover Sing on
the 12th instant, and relieved the Europeans who
had been for some days besieged in a small
house at Arrah, and with the aid of 50 Sikhs
had gallantly defended themselves. Kover
Sing has fled over the hill towards Rohtas.
On the 19th he was at Akburtore Eteas Ro-
hasgurh ; his brother Amur Sing, was in the
hills flanking the Grand Trunk road, and i❑ it 4
neighbourhood there is insecurity, consequently
all quiet, however, between Benares and Sher-
ghotty. Seven lacs of treasure at Gya have bun
brought into Calcutta by the collector, Mr. Alonz
Money, with the aid of a. few Europeans, and
about 100 Sikh soldiers.

The stations of Chupra, Chumparun, and Mo-
zufferpore, which the civil officers had abandoned
by order of Mr. Taylor the Commissioner, have
been reoccupied, and tranquillity may soon be
restor2d. Since the last mail Lift the sth Irregu-
hr Cavalry, in the Santhal district, are ea route
to Arrab, and it is not known where they now
are. A party of the Dinapore mutineers has been
heard of about 18 miles south-west of Murz tpore,
as making for the Jumna somewhere about Ct'l-
pee, with the intention probably of joining the
Gwalior mutineers, and ultimately the Oude in-
surgents.

" The accounts in the papers regarding the mu-
tiny will make You uneasy on our account ' • I there-
fore Fond a line to say we are safe here. It would
take a volume to tell you all we have gone through.
" I could have managed my own regiments had
not the three regiments at Jullundur—via, the 6th
cavalry, 3611 an 61st Native Infantry, mutinied;
and fallen ba± on us. The telegraph wires were
cut, so I got no information of the Jullundur corps
coming our way till they were almost on our pa-
rade. I got nay fainily and the families of all the
Europeans then in cantonments off to the fort,
which bad latterly been garrisoned by 100 men of
her Majesty's Bth Foot.
'" On going to parade_ I bawd- the officers could
not get the men.to turn out and form in any num-
berA, and as fast as they got a few here and there
others went back to the lines. Seeing the case was
hopeless we ret'red to the fort, mys..lf and other
officers on Feot. Our men bad always said, Hap-
pen what would, .not one of us should be hurt while -
they lived.' This is all I can say for my men; they
kept their word; for had they liked they could have
murdered every man, woman, child before I got
them out of the cantonments. On reaching the feat
I iemad every one safe.-- A fel:7.days -afmr ibirfrani="
dies of all officers were ordered off to the,hills, and
I .arranged for my wife and children cording here.
A few days later' I dot a letter from the general,
saying'that as the fort was garrisoned by her Ma-
jesty's corps he wished the command to rest with
the offi-_.er of that regiment, and as my corps was
gone I might proceed on leave, so I followed my
family.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 28.
Great activity prevails in this dockyard in the
Construction and completion of the new men-of-
'war on the various building slips. They comprise
the Victoria, 131 guns • Prince of Wales, 131 ;
Duncan, 101 ; Royal Frederick, 116 ; and Bac-
chante 51. All are, with the exception of the
Royal 'Frederick (though she is to be made one),
acrew-ships and will be propelled by engines
it.f. from 600 to 1,000 horse power. The Vic-
toria, Duncan, and Bacchante will be especi-
ally ships of great tonnage and force of armament.
These new ships do not, notwithstanding their
superiority of tonnage, the advantage of steam pro-
rilsion, and weight of armament over those built
for former British navies, seem to possess an equal
amount of durability. Lying in two docks close to
each other are Nelson's old flag-ship, the Victory,
built in 1765, and thelscrew frigate Arrogant always
considered a very fine ship, built in 1848.
Appearances show that the older ship is sounder
by Jar than the new one. The Victory was taken
into dock because she leaked very badly, and which
vas caused, it was said, by her timbers being rot
ten. She was last in dock about 25 years ago, and
Las had therefore no repairs since. Still, when the
water was let out of the dock, the leak was found
to be caused by a patch of copper having been
rubbed off her bottom (by her fouling on her moor-
ings), and so enabling the worms to actually eat
through her side. The Victory's unsound timbers
are estimated as only 1-Bth of the whole.
On the contrary, the Arrogant has during nine
years been in dock some three or four times under-
boing repairs to a greater or less extent. She is now
eing almost entirely rebuilt. It is generally be-
lieved that such ships as the Duke of Wellington,
Marlborough, and the other large ships, will prove
as little durable as the Arrogant ; but, although this
plan of building ships may seem a waste of public
money, it would almost appear that it is as econo-
mical as any other. Up Portsmouth harbour, there
are very many as fine and durable ships as the
Victory. These have, however, gone totally out of
use, and perhaps will only see service again as coal-
hulks or convict-depots. Some of these line-of-
battle ships, 40 or 50 years old, have seen no more
sea-service than is comprised in a voyage round,
from the yards at which they were built, to this
