Y

6,4 We returned from a dour last night at 10 p.m. We
Lt,'" started at 10 p.m. the night before for a place
j",i,°tlt 18 mifes from here, where one of the Oude
shoed had been looting with about 600 followers. We
ried at the place at 7 a.rn , went out against him
foof:flit 11 a.m. Three shots from the gun made them
!ti and we cut up 28 of them. While we were doing
Bthe Golundauz9 fired away on their own account
tree or eight rounds, as fast as they could ; the gun
L
hot and kicked all the ironwork to pieces. Thank
the God,,we bare brought it in. After the gun was disabled
'oepoys lost he.irt and refused to remain, so we had
ilqati away ; such a march I never saw. The rebels
iL'',lcmt follow us, they must have had enough of it, mei
*from 40 to 50. In one place 20 were cut up. Don't
talk
b' about the 12th Irregulars not cutting up the Pul-
;44 ; theyare awfully savage ; one of them was knocked
ihterelose to Lieut. Havelock, two matchlock balls, one
kr"31.1 his chest, the ottiel• through his body. The
a 0 my must have had 500 to 600 matchlock men. I did
4e one unarmed man. God only knows how so few
"t),ltt. party were hit—of the Sepoys not one.

following is from Senores :
)44,0th July.—By a letter of the 16th inst., Agra was all
Mid no enemy near them. They had complete
k„tilllll.hd of the city and cantonments, though the latter,
pit'ing been destroyed, are not occupied. They have
ko4tY of ammunition, and provisions for more than six
4the. The mutineers had gone to Muttra, for want
I°3' guns to attack the Fort of Agra.
R;Teue Grwahor mutineer regiments have not yet left that
L ei and no immediate movement on their part seems
co,„.
The country near Meerut is believed to be quite safe ;
ikbove it to the hills, is comparatively tranquil.
.he Punjab remains happily quite quiet.
tighe country between Agra and Cawnpore is com-
kLe4 disorganised, each village plundering on its own
tint.
Vh,e mutineers at Delhi running short of ammunition.

Peete to fall in a few de,ayds.
INevys from Cawnpore of the 23d, nearly the whole

tlijdifficult on account of the breadth and strength of

tl'ucknow quite easy, the fire of the enemy being
14:1 slack from want of ammunition. Some bodies of

1;""
4t July—All quiet at Benares and Mirzapore. I
° heard nothing further regarding the Dinapore de-
rs• Perhaps you have.
„04pulpore is all quiet, and the moveable column was
NePted in or on the let prox. The Bundelabs again

t"ected at Bilharie, another company of the 52d, with
° European officers, and Captain Baldwin, Assistant
r,
k"tninissioner, left Jubbulpore to reinforce the detach-
Olt of the 52d that went out on the first occasion,
dill the company of the 50th at Mybere has marched
to join them, and I fancy the budmashes at
'hat ie will as on a former occasion, bolt without firing
s shot.

LUCKNOW.
trWe (Calcutta Englishman) received the following
,481ation of a native letter from Lucknow, dated
the 12th instant :.--
ttojraj Brahmin has just come from Lucknow, and
etew—On Sunday, 12th July, about 8 o'clock, I lett
plleknow ; up to that time all was well. The Euro-
:44 were in the Residency, and the mutinous troops
k,,ete attacking from the outside; great plunder was
4;,ing on in the city. Outside the Residence there ate
bt'll thousand men, but they are not all fighting
tell. Many of them are people of the city and lookers
11. There may be about 12 regiments, and a fsw
t sktalahs; and is true that on one occasion the British
i,?103 gave the mutineers a thrashing, and put them to
rgt• More than 100 of the mutineers are killed daily.
o'ithose who die, they who have relations are burnt,
4,_wttvvise the bodies are thrown into the Goomtee river.
The wounded are carried away in doolies, and treated.
Beth in the city and in the camp there is great tumult ;
ads Mutineers do not now keep up so severe a cannon.
4"6115 they did at first, and it is probable that their
there
of ammunition are running short ; for at night
firing is no firing from the guns now, though musketry
goes on.
El 4:gun or two may perhaps be fired at night. The
2Poys who have plundered the city are walking home-
ward with their spoil.
k The mutineers are searching in the city for saltpetre,
'llt I have not heard of their searching fur copper caps ;
q' fact, none are to be had in the city.
/)rovisions are plentiful, and the Bunneah's have been
told to keep their ehops open, and sell for ready money.
the mutineers have put up in the gardens of the city
people, of which they have fozOibly taken possession.
Rajah Goor Buz Singh, the Rajah of Rumnuggnr,
4nd Rajah Nawab Allee, and a great number of the
Petty neighbouring Rajahs, have joined the fight and
Riven their assistance. But neither Rajah Man Singh
415 r his followers are there.

ALLAHABAD.
The following is iroin Allahabad, dated July 15
This once pretty station is in ruins, and well might we
Write over the gates " Ichabod." We have just neard
it announced officially, that poor Colonel Sir Hen: y
Lawrence, is no more, having died of the effects
of his wounds. We could at this 'crisis well have afford-
!(l another man. Colonel Lawrence was one of the very
few officers who would not ''low himself to be hamp,red
cith the babe of India, I mean Red-tapeism ; he was a
brads and most daring man in the field, and a profound
!t%testnan iu the cabinet. General Neill, we hear, starts
'°-night for Cawnpore. The Seikhs have played the
`‘ery devil here, they have looted every single shop
(dearly so), also the various Steam Agencies. Chain
Pape was selling at four annas a bottle, brandy and
liherry at similarly low rates; bonnet', and books
at ridiculously low rwes ; large Bibles, valued at 75
at two rupees ; religious books were sold at a sufficiently
I'' figure. To please even the Lord Bishop, should
~
uiB lordship (the Bishop) wish to cheapen religious
books
I'd suggest a geivral loot of Calcutta. A par.y
digging the other day came across sixty dozens of really
fine sherry. Loot is found all over Allahabad. Poor
11-odgson's "kit" was sold this morning, and Mantel,'s
‘‘'lll be sold this evening. On the evening of the 14th,
When the 78th Highlanders were eft route t t this station
frig Benares, they had a brush with some rebel.., a short
distance from the river, and polished off a lot of them.
They (78th) V&A otly one man killed. The "Bu..-
ftiashes" after killing the poor fellow, hacked and
Wed him to pieces.

JESSORE.

. The following is from Jessore, dated 201 h July : Ken
In lily last, I told you that it had been thought "We understand that the Commissariat authorities
ilecesary to arrest four of the Nujeehs of this stati r, have received instructions to despatch to Chit a, as Boon
and to disarm the r st. Of the former, two transported as possible, the full complement ot native establishment
_9r life, and another, She Jetnadar of the Guards, was for three European regiments. It is to be hoped that
etsndenaned on Saturday by the judge, Mr. Seton Karr, these people may reach China before the troops from
be hanged. His sentence was carried out this morn- England ; for it is difficult to conceive any people more
lug at 6 o'clock in the centre of the bazaar, where he helpless than an European regiment in the Bart, with-
has been left swinging until the evening, as a warning out these eesentially necessary attendants— dhobies,
to all others who way be disaffected towards the present cook hop, water carriers, and tent lascara. In all pro-

corps will come on to India, andrelieve the Indian carps
