The same journal, of the Ist of August, says :
We are greatly rejoiced to hear that news
of General Havelock having again beaten that
ruffianly scoundrel the Nena Sahib, and taken his
fort at Bithoor from him, scattering his forces in
all directions, and taking thirteen of his gun..
This cowardly villain is now a homeless wanderer
and a fugitive in the jungle, with a price set upon
his head, and the 78th Highlanders on his trail.

More than is absolutely necessary, .Gen. Havelock
said—' I have been in 27 fights, and never saw ,a
regiment behave better. I will say more, I never
amv a regiment behave so well!' It appears that
in the fight which- took place near Cawnpore,
which led to its re-capture on the 16th ult. and the
first flight of the Nena, the 78th charged the guns
three different times. No officers were killed, but
of the men-17 were killed and wounded. Major
otirling and three other officers of her Majesty's
64th Regiment were wounded."
The Calcutta Englishman of 21st of July says :
A plot was discovered here yesterday, and
three of the worst characters in the town, and a
banker with 8 lakhs of rupees apprehended.
Letters of a highly treasonable nature were disco-
Vered ; they purported to be from a certain great
one,' and called on the inhabitants to rise and de-
stroy Messrs. Tucker, Gubbins, Lind, and all
Europeans. The plan was, that these three were
to raise the disaffected characters, and having made
away with those I named by treachery or night at-
tack, were to polish off all the rest of us. The ban-
ker was mentioned by name as the person from
whom they were to get funds, and in his house
some 200 swords, guns, &c., were found.. Gubbins
is trying to get some further information out of
these prisoners, but I fear they will not peach. The
banker actually offered the Darogah a government
Promissory note for Its. 10,000, if he would allow
him to escape. The Darogali played him a pretty
trick : he told the banker he could not trust him,
and that he must sign the note,.which he did, and
was then taken away, note and all,- to Gubbins. I

SEALKOTE.
A letter from Sealkote in the Lahore Chronicle
says :
" All agree in saying, that at least 80 mutineers
were killed this morning. Our loss is, I rejoice to
say, not more than four •men of the 52d wounded.
The thing was right well planned, and right well
executed. •
"My first and very brief campaign is over. It is
more exciting and interesting a good deal than bear-
ing appeals. But I must get back to the old dry
work. I will see that all is kept going fur securing
the runaways, and then purpose making the best of
my way back to Lahore. The Sealkote mutineers
have indeed been frustrated in their plan. They
fully believed that we bad nothing but a few irre-
gulars and police to meet them, and they were con-
fident of breaking through. Their discomfiture is
complete."

THE ACTION OF THE 14th EFORE

DELHI.
JULY 15.—The enemy came out in force, about
9,000 men, with four guns, at 11 a.m. yesterday,
with the intention of taking our batttr es. They
fought under cover until 2 o'clock, when they
came to the front, and were beaten back into Delhi.
Our people, too eager, followed them close under
the walls. The enemy opened fire with grape and
musketry from the walls ; our loss in killed and
wounded was heavy. It is a pity our people fol-
lowed them, as up to the time of their retreat, we
hod only about six men hit. Major Turner,
Artillery, wounded in the thigh ; Brigadier General
Chamberlain, Adjutant-General, in shoulder; Ches-
t, r and Daniel, of Goorkhas, wounded ; Burns and
Faithful, H. M.'s 75th, slightly—former on the
knee, the latter in the arm. The above are the
only casualties I can give you at present, and may
be relied on as correct. The cavalry was not en-
gaged.—Lahore Chronicle, July 22.

The following is a description of the action on
the 9th July before Delhi :—" On the 9th instant,
the mutineers turned out in: force and gave us fight-
ing all along the right front and right flauk. By
all accounts they were perfectly mad from churns'
on bhang' and fought more boldly than they ever
did before. At one point, the mosque, in front
of Hindoo Rao's house, where some fifty of the
Guides were posted, the rebels left some eighty or
ninety dead on the ground, many lying close to the
walls ; here also the Guides lost some six or seven
men. Oa all points were the, mutineers driven
back with great slaughter, and their loss was con-
sidered as amounting to nearly 1,000 killed and
wounded. From my own observation, end from
what I have bean told by competent persons, I
should say the enemy lost at least 280 killed ; the
wounded were nearly all carried away, and many
of their dead ; and next morning, to the right of
the Lahore gate, looking from our lines, we could
perceive large fires, which, we presume were
caused by the Pandies burning their dead.
The complete success of the repulse was con-
siderably marred by our allowing about eighty
of their Irregular Cavalry to get into camp round
the General's mound ; they actually rode nearly
right through the camp, and tried to persuade a
hative troop of Artillery to come away with them,
but it was no go. When they were first discovered,
Hill of the Artillery, and a rough rider, went in at
them ; poor 'Hill got a severe sword cut on the
head ; Major Tombs, who always seems to be in
the thick of everything, shot the Sower down ;
the Ist Fusiliers now turned out and shot down
some of them. Captain Fagan, of the Artillery,
got together some Artillery recruits, and some other
men, altogether about 25, and followed them on
foot, knocked over about 15 of them, and amongst
others the head sirdar, a great swell in officer's ap-
pointments and a Cashmere shawl round his shoul-
ders ; the Sowars did not do as much mischief as
they might have done in camp, but it was certainly
a bold proceeding. In the confusion some wretched
camp followers were shot by our own men,
through mistake. On the whole, we have to re-
gret one officer of the Bth (King's), and of the
whole force about 47 or 50 killed ; one officer of
the Bth (King's), one of the Guides, one, of the
Goorkas, Hill of the Artillery, and I believe Major
Tombs, very s'ightly ; and #bout 160 men of all
hands wounded. These fro dear victories, and the
enemy can afford their loss, though five or six to
one, better than we can. Rumour says they are
running short of caps, which, if true, is good news.
Some of the men say Jack Sepoy, at least a great
number, were fighting with matchlocks and tul-
wars only. The fight commenced at about 7 a.m.
and lasted till nearly 4 p.m., all our troops, native
and European, fighting magnificently. Every
soldier is looking forward to get inside those ac-
cursed red walls, which look us steadily in the face
every day."

MEERUT.
A. letter in the Lahore Chronicle, dated July 13
Bays :—" All well here, the battle of the 9th ap-
pears to have ended in a complete victory over the
insurgents ; upwards. of 1,000 of whom lay dead on
the field. Our loss wastrifling, one officer killed and
two wounded. . The Mabotnedans in Rohilcund are
beginning to show what their intentions are ; they
have already destroyed all the Hindoo triples in
and around Bareilly. This fact alone should open
the eyes of the Hindoo population of India as to
what they might expect from Mahomedan masters.
The Jats in this division are fully aware of
what their position would become underosuch a
rule. The Sikhs before Delhi aro said to b 3 be-
having splendidly ; and, together with the Goork-
has, are the admiration of the force. Would that
the Commander-in-Chief had a few more of them
with him. We hear from good authority that the
Xing of Delhi wishes to make overtures to the Go-
vernment, and is getting tired of war, now that his
army aro running short of percussion caps, and
have to convert their muskets into matchlocks.
The last shells fired frin the walls are evidently of
an inferior character, they seldom burst, have port-
fires stuck in them instead.of fuses,. and the powder.
is evidently of native manufacture. Should the
native report be true, that Wheeler, with a large
European force, is a few marches, off Delhi, the
reign of the insurgents in the Imperial city is
a short one. I believe I told you that Mr. Fleet-
wood Williams has been appointed pro tem. com-
missioner of this division. He has already done
much good, and is without doubt the right man in
the right place ; and it is ,h thousand pities he was
not appointed before, as it is absurd to suppose
that Mr. Greathed, who is with the army before
Delhi, could have much influence over a district in
a state of insurrection, with two almost impassable
rivers separating him from the principal part of
his charge."

SATTARA. •
SATTARA, July 31, 1857.—A1l appears quiet
here just now, but the civil authorities are not at
all confident that some evil disposed people are
not still at work, trying to induce the disaffected to
strike a Llow. . . . The Punderpoor
prisoners have been tried, and I imagine will be
hung, as`a guard of the 3d Europeans has been
placed over them. One or two of them are rich
influential men, and, hal not European troops
been at this station, an attempt might have been
made to rescue them.
The Mamlutdar they killed at Punderpoor was
said to be the best a,nd the one most attached to
the British government in this colleotorate. Some
anxiety still exists about Punderpoor, as a com-
pany of the 22d Regiment, under Lieut. Drum-
mond, Ihas been ordered out there on out-post
duty.

COMMERCIAL.
' BOMBAY, AUGUST 14.
Our money market during the past fortnight has,
as is usual at this season of the year, been some-
what easier, and the banks have reduced their rates
of interest 2 per cent. all round, and unless unfore-
seen circumstances should arise we are of opinion
that a further reduction in rates of interest must
take place ere long.
The Government Notification to receive one-half
4 per cent, paper, and one-half cash into the 5 per
cent. loan, has not improved the value of either of
these securities. We quote fours 82, and fives 92,
