LUCKNOW.

We (Calcutta Englishman) rocoivei the following
train:l,l6.on of a native L7ttec frodi Luckuox, dato
the 12th instant :

Gujraj Brahmin ha just come from Lucknow, and
states—On Sunday, 12th Juiy, ilhout S o'clock, i I,tt.
Lucknow ; up to that time all was well. The Euro-
peans were in the Reaidericv, and the mutinous tro, ps
Were attseking from the outside; great plunder was
going on in the city. 011,81d3 the 11,s:dence there are

Of thoso who die, they who have relations are Lurot,

The wounded are carried away in doolits, and treated.
Both in the city and in the camp there is great tumu!t;
the mutineers do not nocv keep up al severe a cannon-
ade as they did at first, and it is pr,bahle that their
supplies of ammunition are running short ; for at night
there is no firing from the guns, now, though ruu6kttry
firing goes on.
A gun or two may• perhaps be fkrad at riet. The
Sepoys who have plundered the city are walking home-

The mutineers are searching in the city for saltpetre,
but I Lave not heard of their searching fur copper caps ;
is fact, none are to be bad in the say.
Provisions are plentiful, and the Bunneah's have been
told to keep their shops open, and sell for ready money.
All the mutineers have put up in the gardens cf the city

Goor Box Singh, the Rp.jah of Rimmuggur,
and ltaiah Nawab Allt.e, and a great number of the
Petty neighbouring Rajahs, have j•.ined th,.: fight and
given their assietance. But neither Rsjili Man Singh
nor his followera are there.

The following is irout All,ll.th td, dated July 15:

This once pretty station is in ruins, and well might we
write over the gates " Ichabod." We have ju-it nearl
it announced officially, that prior Colonel Sir Hen.y
Lawrence, K.C.R. is no more, having died of the effects
of his wounds. We could at this crisis well have sff'
ed another man. Colonel Lawrence was one of the very
few officers who wi,uld not st,l'ow himsdf to be hampired
with the bane of India, I mean Red-tapeisai ; he Was a
brava and most daring man in the fidd, and a profound
statesman iu the cabinet. Genet al Neill, we hear, starts
to-nlght for Cswnpore. The Seikhs have played the
very devil here, they have looted every single shop
(nearly so), also the various Steam Agencies. Chant
pagne was selling at four worms a bottle, brandy and
berry at similarly low rates ; cloO, bonnet, and hooks
at noiculously low rates ; large Bibles, valued at 75
at two rupees ; religious books were sold at a sufficiently
low figure.. To please even the Lord Bishop,i should
his lordship (the Bishop) wish to cheapen religious
books, I'd suggest a general loot of Calcutta. A pariy
digging the other day came across six'y dcz2tis of really
fine sherry. Loot is found ail over Allahabal Poor
Rodgson's "kit" was sold !his morning, and Mantel's
will be Held this evening. On the evening of the 14th,
when 'he 78th Highlanders were en route t > this station
from Benares, they had a brush with some rebell, a short
• distance from the river, and polished off a lot of them.
They (78th) hod only one man killed. The "
Mashes," after killing the poor fellow, hacked and
hewed him to pieces,
