CANTERBURY HALL, Westminster-road.—
Proprietor --C. Monrox.
The üblic is most respectfully informed that the FINE
ANTSGALLERY, in connection with the above Hall, IS NOW
OPEN DAY AND NIGHT, from 11 o'clock a.m. until 12
o'clock p.m. The New Gallery contains an extensive Collec-
tion of Pictures, by Ancient and Modern Masters and is also
devoted to Art productions generally. The Proprietor feels
he may confidently assert that, viewed altogether, the exist-
ing Music Hall, the New Fine Arts Gallery, and the recently
added Ante-Hall, will present an attraction which, whether
as regards the architectural beauty of the structures them-
selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations
within, will be found to be -wholly without parallel in the
King-dom.

The MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT Commences as usual at
Seven o'clock.
In addition to the usual entertainment, the SAITVLET
FAMILY, of Amsterdam, Eight in number, whose varied
instrumental performances have created so marked a sensa-
tion in the principal cities and towns of the Continent, will
perform every Evening at Nine and Eleven o'clock.

THE SUN.

MONDAY. JANUARY 3, 1859.

The New Year has brought with it very satis-
factory intelligence from India. By a telegram
received at the Foreign Office, at 11 p.m. on Satur-
day night, we learn that "the amnesty is slowly
but surely thinning the ranks of the rebels ; and
there is good reason for believing that the whole
country will be restored to peace without much
additional bloodshed."

We have frequently explained that this would
be the result of the discriminating mercy exercised
towards the rebels. All whose crimes had not

placed them beyond its pale would rejoice at the
promise of pardon—a promise which, made by
Englishmen, they well knew would be faithfully
kept—and not only readily abandon all their
former hostility, but even assist in getting
rid of the blood-stained outlaws, whose
existence, and the black mail which they
would necessarily levy on the districts in which
they were sheltered, would cause far greater incon-
venience to the inhabitants than to the British
troops.

But this is not all. It appears that Lord CLYDE
had at last succeeded in overtaking the " flying
columns" of the übiquitous BAINIE MADHOO.
The result may be easily anticipated. The victory
was decisive, and we may almoEt say final, so far as
the followers of that rebel chief are concerned. The
real difficulty was that announced by Mrs. GLASSE :
we had first to catch our hare. This was accomplished
by the indefatigable activity of the Commander-
in-Chief, who marched his troops sixty-one miles in
sixty hours, including all stoppages. Notwith-
standing their extraordinary endurance of fatigue,
the absence of heavy guns, commissariat, in fact
all things which the great Roman justly termed
"impedimenta," they were overtaken on the eve of
the anniversary of Inkermann, an& it' is needless
to say that a good account was rendered of the
rebel force.

It was at Dundeca Klara, on the banks of the
Ganges, nearly opposite Suttehpore, that the con-
test, if contest it could be called, took place. The
rebels had taken refuge in a dense jungle, which
they fairly imagined would afford shelter and pro-
tection. They, however, were speedily convinced
of their error, when the boom of the British cannon
thundered in their ears. The jungle could not pre-
serve them from the iron shower, and with

scarcely: an attempt at resistance, every man
sought his individual safety in ignominious
flight. It was, in fact, a total route, and the fugi-
tives were closely pursued with cavalry and cannon.
The telegram declares that their loss was enor-
mous, and that many perished in the attempt to
escape across the Ganges. It would seem as if the
river destroyed even more than the gun or the
