BOMBAY, SIFT. 28.
" A telegram waa received yesterday from
Colonel Durand, at Mhow, announcing the receipt
there of an express from Captain Eden, at Jeypoor,
despatched on the 18th, and giving the following
extract of a letter from Colonel Young, dated at
Head-quarters, Skinner's house, Delhi, 15th first.
" It is as follows :

" The assault took place yesterday morning,
soon after daybreak, and the storming was entirely
successful. We were soon in possession of the end
of the fort, with the Cashmere, Cabul, and Moree
Gates, which we now hold, with the Church, Col-
lege, and other large buildings near this,—Skin-
ner's-house, in which the head-quarters are. Pre
parations are making for heavy batteries to knock
the mutineers out of those parts of the city in which
they now are. Many of the city people have come
in for and received quarter. The Sepoys wantcd
to come also, but were not permitted. The casual-
ties are said to bo heavy ; no Artillery officers,
however, were killed or wounded. A great many
of the mutineers have escaped. The cavalry left
last night, it is said towards Rewaree.' "

The news of the fall of Delhi, which arrived by
the Ajdaha on the night of Thursday last, reached
Le Governor of Bombay whiles a. largo diunor.party
was being entertained at Government House.
Lord Elphinstone immediately announced the
joyful tidings to the assembled company, and
called upon them to fill their glasses, and drink to
the health of " General Wilson and his brave
Army." This was done with much enthusiasm,
the hand striking up ". The British Grenadiers."
The screw steamer England arrived at Kurra-
chee on the 25th September, with the wing of her
Majesty's 4th (King's Own) Regiment, which had
been dispatched from Bombay, consisting of 16
officers, 312 rank and file, 7 drummers, and 4r
followers. The regiment marched into canton-
ments the same evening.

" The centre batteries have continued in increas-
ing fire against the Cashmere Bastion and Curtain.
and the mortars keep up a searching fire on its
neighbourhood. No. 1 still grinds away at the
Moree.
" The enemy have mounted a heavy gun in two
places on half moons in the wall, and are perseve-
ing in their infilade from the right, and are doing
their best to defend the place.
" The officers never leave the batteries, which ars
open to the sky. But the only men who are dispi-
rited are those whom sickness of wounds keep in
camp.
" I have had no intelligence from the town since
the evening of the 11th.
" General Nicholson will command the moveable
column to be sent from this. We may expect to
hear of the assault in a day or two.

CAMP DELHI, SEPT. 2.
The drama is drawing to a close, and the bloody
rebels are well aware of such being the case, as on
the 31st ult. they sent in a white flag to ask for
terms, offering to give up all actual murderers.
The answer was as follows :—" The British Govern-
ment will hold no terms with murderers, rebels,
and mutineers. Surrender must be unconditional.
Any other rebel coming to propose other terms will
be hung. All future negociations will be carried
on at the muzzles of our guns."

GENERAL WILSON'S ORDER TO THE
TROOPS AT DELHI.
(From the Bombay limes of Oct. 3.)

PROGRESS OF THE SIEGE,
Lahore, Sept. 4.
The siege train was at Sursowlie on the 2d, and
will be in camp either to day or to morrow.
The Hill Sanatarium of Muree has been threat-
ened. A number of men of some of the adjacent
villages, allured by the hope of plunder, assembled
to attack it. They had, however, been repulsed,
and assistance sent up from Rawulpindee.
Elsewhere all remains quiet in the Punjaub.
P.S. The following intelligence has just teen re-
ceived from Delhi :—" It is four p.m., the
3d September. Nothing of moment to report
from this to-day. The siege train will be
in to-morrow, and the detachment. of artillery and
rifles from eerat, on the 6th instant."

Lahore, Sept. 5.
From Delhi, four p.m., Sept. 4 :—" The siege
train arrived this morning, together with a detach-
ment of her Majesty's Bth Foot, and a wing of the
Beloooh Battalion."

Lahore, Sept. 6.
From Delhi, four p.m., Sept. 5 :—" Active pre-
parations are going on for offensive preparations.
Lieutenant Tytler, 60th Rifles, and Lieutenant
Somerville, Artillery, have both died since lest
message was sent."

Lahore, Sept. 7.
The following from Delhi, four p m., Sept. 6
" 200 men orithe GOth Rifles and 100 Artillery re-
cruits from Meerut arrived to-day. The 4th Pun-
jaub Infantry comes in to-morrow."
Lahore, Sept. 8.
From Delhi, four p.m., Sept. 8 :—" Wilde 'g
Rifles and the Jheend Rajah s troops came in to-
day. Last night the new advanced light gun bat-
tery was armed, with the loss of one man wounded.
To-night further operations will take place towards
establishing offensive batteries. General Havelock
was still at Cawnpore on the 27th August ; 300 of
the sth Fusiliers landed at Allahabad on the 24th
August, and the 90th Foot daily expected. Sir
Cohn Campbell is coming up country.'
Lahore, Sept. 9.
From Delhi, five p.m., Sept. 8 Last night
parties of our troops took possession of the Kood-
sea Bagh, within 320 yards of the city walls, and
batteries for ten guns were estabashed at about 650
yards from Moree Baston, to put a stop to its fire
and that of the Cashmere Bastion. Everything
was successful, and the batteries are firmly estab-
lished in their advanced position, our loss up to thilt
time being under 50 killed and wounded. Lieut.
Hildebrand, Artillery, and Lieut. Bannerman,
Belooch Battalion, killed. An accidental exple"
sion took place in our park, but fortunately only
four natives were killed. The Jummoo Contingent
arrived to-day."

Tho force assembled before Delhi has had much
hardship and fatigue to undergo since its arrival in
this camp, all of which has been most cheerfully
borne by officers and men. The time is now draw-
ing near when the major-general commanding the
force trusts that their labours will be over, and
they will be rewarded by the capture of the city,
for all their past exertions, and for a cheerful en-
durance of still greater fatigue and exposure. The
troops will be required to aid and assist the
engineers in the erection of the batteries and
trenches, and in daily exposure to the sun, as
• covering trenches.
The artillery will have even harder work than
they yet have had, and which they have so well
and cheerfully performed hitherto ; this, however,
will be for a short period only, and when ordered
to the assault, the major-general feels assured
British pluck and determination will carry every-
thing before them, and that the bloodthirsty and
murderous mutineers, against whom they are
fighting, will be driven headlong out of their
stronghold, or be exterminated ; but to enable
them to do this, he warns the troops of the absolute
necessity of their keeping together, and not
straggling from their columns. By this can success
only be secured.

Major Wilson need hardly remind the troops of
the cruel murders committed on their officers and
comrades, as well as their 'wives and children, to
move them in the deadly struggle. No quarter
should be given to the mutineers ; at the same
time, for the sake of humanity, and the honour of
the country they belong to, he calls upon them to
spare all women and children that may come in
their way.

It is so imperative, not only for their safety but
for the success of the assault, that men should not
straggle from their columns, that th 6 major-general
feels it his duty to direct all commanding officers
to impress this strictly upon their men, and he is
confident that, after this warning, the men's good
sense and discipline will induce them to obey their
officers and keep to their duty. It is to be explained
to every regiment that indiscriminate plunder will
not be allowed; that prizeagents have been appointed,
by whom all captured property will be collected and
sold, to be divided, according to the rules and re-
gulations on this head, fairly amongall men-engaged
—and that any man found guilty of having con
cealed captured property, wilt be made to restore
it, and will forfeit all claims to the general prize ;
he will alsobe likely to be made over to the provost-
marshal to be summarily dealt with. The major-
genei al calls upon the officers of the force to lend
their zealous and efficient co-operation in the erec-
tio❑ of the works of the siege now about to be com-
menced ; he looks especially to the regimental offi-
cers of all grades to impress upon the men that the
work in the trenches during a siege is as necessary
and honourable as to tight in the ranks during a
battle. He will hold all officers responsible for
their utmost being done to carry out the directions
of the Engineers, and he confidently trusts that all
will exhibit a healthy and heartyspirit of emulation
and zeal, from which he has no doubt that the
happiest results will follow, in the brilliant termi-
nation of all their labours.

The following particulars of the proceedings of
the 12th are from Mr. Greathed's letter of that
date : _ .

It was before reported that the 18-gun battery
No. 2, in front of Ludlow Castle, had. with the aid
of the heavy mortars, quicisly silenced the Chh haler.
Bastion.
"That bastion has not since replied, and heavy
salvos are continually directed against it. No. 1
battery continues to fire into the Moree ; it is a
heap of ruins, but the gunners manage to fire light
guns from different parts.
"No. 3, at the Custom-house, has not yet opened.
Some alterations had to be made in It. It is ex-
pected it will be ready this evening. -
" The enemy have not made any more sorties,
but keep up a brisk fire of musketry in front of the
bastions from rifle pits and among the jungle, and
they have a flanking fire from field-pieces on the
right, and from a heavy gun and mortar on the
other side the river. Sulemghur and the Water
Bastion also fire on the left and centre batteries.
Rockets are occasionallyfired from a Martello tower
in front, and there are single light guns on two
others.
"All this dot's not retard, the progress of the
siege, or lead to any interruption of fire. And,
though the delay about No. 3 is certainly a disap-
pointment, there is still every reason for congratu-
lation. A position has been seized and maintained
for breaching purposes, which, if worked up to ac-
cording to rule, would not have been ours for some
time, and our fire is very destructive.
" A party of the enemy's cavalry, 200 in number,
got wross the cut of the canal yesterday, to cut of
our camels. They retired on seeing a force coining
against them, and might have got off, but they were
met by 80 of the Guide Cavalry, under Capt. Sand-
ford, and 2 ressaldars and 25 sowars were killed on
the field. The rest got off to Delhi.

From Delhi, four p.m., Sept. 9 :—" Since DO
message the Cashmere and Moree bastions have
been severely pounded by our advanced batteries/
and we shall shortly, have more batteries at won'
much closer to the walls. Notwithstanding that,
the enemy have kept up
a heavy fire, partioularlf
of grape and musketry ; our casualties have been
small since yesterday."

From Delhi, 4.30 p.m., Sept. 10 :—..(4 we have

row morning.' We have also a heavy mortar bit'
tery completed in the Koodsea Bagh, and haSe,
possession of the Custom-house, in the compound
of which another heavy battery is being constructed
about 200 yards from the city wall. The eneelAY
keep up a heavy fire of artillery and musketry, and
have made some unsuccessful demonstrations with
their cavalry.. Our loss during the last 24 hours
has been 50 killed and wounded ; including Tilell"
tenant Eaton, 60th Rifles, wounded. One If our

the magazine, and between the Cashmere and Ca-

that those energies fail when the moment cf action
