LUCENOW.

We have .been favoured with the following
account of the proceedings at Lucknow, by " A
Sufferer :"

" The rebels, after taking possession of the city,
opened trenches round the residency, and kept up
a continuous fire of musketry and guns. At times,
combined attacks of all mutinous regiments and
rabble troops were made upon the residency, but
were heroically met by the Europeans and repulsed
with slaughter. The shells made great havoc among
the rascals, and struck their hearts with terror.
"The number of the rebels was about 250„000
men. Among them there were-
-14 regiments of mutinous sepoys,
3 ressalahs of irregular horse,
4 troops of local horse artillery ;
the-remainder of all rabble troops. These are im-
perfectly armed, ill-paid, and ill-provisioned. The
men are no doubt courageous.
" The most conspicuous among the rebels
were :

"Rajah Goorbuccus, with about 20,000fo11owers.
"Nowab Ally, with about 4,000 followers.
" Pathans of Malzahad about 3,000 in number.
" The Amirs or Mahomedan nobles, begums, and
wealthy mahajuns, supplied the rebels with' pro-
visions.

" Killing and plundering the Christians and
Baboos were the order of the day. The bloody acts
continued for some days. Plundering extended
over the commercial class of men also.
" On the 30th of June, one of the young sons of
the ex-king, named Birjis Kadur Buhadoor, sat
upon the gadde as a minister to the King of Delhi.
Tom-tom was beat to this purport. His naib or
deputy was named a Shuruf-ood-dow 1a f l ,formerly a
minister in late Nusur-ooadn-dt ; owlah, s time. He held
the reins of the government re-enlisted the dis-
banded regiments of Wajid Shah ; invited the petty
rajahs and great zemindars to join him with all
their followers ; issued orders to the zemindars
villagers, lac., to kill all Europeans and Bab '
passing through their villages ; and held out °l5-
luring promises for the annihilation of Europeans
and their dependents.
" Since the annexation of Oude by Lord Dal-
housie, dark conspiracies had been fostered with
secrecy and diligence by the dethroned princes,
wealthy and great zemindars, and the sycophant
nobles and dismissed courtiers. Secret and sedi-
tious correspondence among them was always car-
ried on. Attempts were at times made to excite
the people by means of fanatic Mouloovies, or dis-
guised emissaries ; and at times they were promptly
_Smothered, but never fully extinguished by the
local authorities. authorities. Inquiries were sometimes made
