(From the Calcutta. Hurkartt of .7une 5. )
• The,4sth-and-57(h Regimeots at Ferozepore, the
9th, which .g.trrisoned the stations of. Allygurh,
• Mynpeore., and Ettwah, portions of the 13th,
48th, 71st Native Infantry, anti two troops of the
7th Cavalry at Lucknow, have followed the exam-
- pie set them by the Meerut revolters. At Feroze-
pore the mutineers were attacked by the 61th Foot,
the loth Cavalry, and Artillery with such effect
that the 57th Native Infantry at once laid down
their arms; and the 45th, after losing many of their
number, fled in confusion. The 9th Native In-
fantry made no attempt to murder their officers,•
contenting themselves with the plunder of the trea-
suriee. At Lucknow the mutiny brake out in the
same manner as at Meerut, commencing with the
burning of almost every thatched house near the
native lines. But Sir Henry Lawrence was ready
for the exelolion. He at once turned out with her
Majesty's 32(1Foet, a battery of Artillery, and that I
p-.rtiOrvotthe 7th Cavalry which remained faithful,
and attacked the insurgents ; the la'ter were not I
only defeated,' but.p.orsned for 30 miles. Several of
their number were kdle 1 and a few taken. These
lat'er have since niKt the fate which they deserved,
by being,blown from guns--a death more calculated

as they were fully armed and apparently wild with
rage and excitement. They entered the Calcutta
gat) without opposition Irem any of the police, and
meths _ their way directly towards Deriow-
gunge, shooting down in their progress all the
Earopeans they met with. Among the first vic-
tims were Mr. Simon Fraser, the Governor Gene-
ral's agent ; Captain Douglas, his assistant ; and
Mr. R. Nixon, chief clerk intheir.oftice. Notice
was immediately sent to the brigadier, and a regi-
ment (the 54th M.N.), with two guns from De
Tessier's Battery were sent down.. The 54th
marched through the Cashmere gate in good order,
but on the approach of some of the sowars, the s:-
poys rushed suddenly to the side of the road, leav-
ing their officers in the middle of the road, upon
whom the troopers immediately came at a gallop,
anal one after the other shot them-down. The
officers were, with the exception of Colonel Ripley,
unarmed. The colonel shot two of them before he
fell ; .but with this exception, and one said to have
been shot by Mr. Fraser, .none fell. After butcher-
ing all the officers of the 54th the troopers dis-
mounted, and went among the sepoys of the 54th
shaking hands with them, and, it may be supposed,
thanking them or their forbearance in not firing on
the murderers of their officers. The troopers were
perfectly collected • they rode up to their victims
at full gallop, pulled up suddenly, fired their pistols_
and retreated. The countenances of the troopers
wore the expression of maniacs • one was a mete
youth rushing abput, flourishing his sword, and cl's-
playing all ' the fury of a man under the influ-,
ence of bhang. They were in full uniform, and
some had medals. Had the officers of the 28th
54t,b, and 74th Native Infantry been armed with
revolvers they might have shot some of them,
hut'had they done so it is still a doubtful question
whether their own-men would not have bayone•ed
them. • The 54th made some show of firing their
muskets, but their shots went of course over the
heeds of-the troopers, who had manifestly full con-
fidence in the reception they were to. meet. with.
Their plans must have been evidently well' ma-
tured. Meanwhile the people of the city were
collecting for mischief.; - several bungalows at
l)eriowgunge hail been fired, and as the day -ad-
vanced the goojurs of the villages around Delhi
le-came aliVe to the chances of loot, and were ready
for action. - The city was up:in. arms, every,Euro-
peen residence vas searched, the.trooperadeclaring
that they'did not want propay- butlife, and when
they retired the rabble rushed in, and made a clean
weep, froni. the punkahs to the floor mats.
"It is difficult to form-an estimate of the num-
ber killed, -most of the lists already publ.shed are
itcefreet, happily, several persons said to be killed
are still in existence, and-some who escaped are.-not
down at all. • . . -f, •••
"As soon as the extent of the outbreak was
known, it besame necessary for the residents to
ser-k come place. of safety ; and most of them made
their way to the Flagstaff Towel.' where the gun is
fired. A company of the 38th 'Native Infantry
and two guns were ctationed. here, and a large
party ,of ladies - and gentlemen, including the
brigadier, brigade major, &c., were here well
armed, with the intention of defending themselves
egetinst the troopers. The tower is round and of
solid brickwork, and WAS well adapted for the pur-
po-oa ; better, in fact, than any other building in
Delh. In selecting this spot the brigadier dis-
played considerable judgment, but he did not then
know the extent of the catastrophe 7"for although
the general demeanour of the troops was anything
bet snbord'n ite, the actual state of the case was
amkeoen. Many of the- officers of the 38th still
hid confidence in their men, and endeavoured to
reason with them when they showed symptoms of
• ineabordination ; but on-Colonel Graves harangu-
ing the company stet:oiled at the Flagstaff Tower,
it became evident that they were in a state of
mutiny, and that the slightest thing would induce
them to turn at once against their officers and the
other Europeans assembled on the hill. About a
quarter to four the magazine in the city exploded
—a puff of wbi'e smoke and the report of a gun
preceded the cloud of red dust which rose like a
huge' coronet-into the air; the- explosion that fol-
lowed was not so great as might have been expected,
hut the effect was complete. It was soon known
t: at the explosion was not accidental, but the gal-
lant act of Lieu'. Willoughby, Commissary of Ord-
pa.nce, Delhi, and it is pleasing to be able to add
that this brave young man escaped with a severe
scorching. About 1,500 persons, rebels, are 8..01-
-to have been up with the magazine. .-
" On the apt etran.ce of the clouds of dust in the
air, the company of the 38th made a rush to thnr
arms, which were piled near them ; the object they
111.41 in view is not clearly define-1, but it is supposed
that they were influenced by a sudden desire to at-
rtaek thote within the tower. Soon after this the
. 38th took possession of two guns sent up to rein-
force the party at the tower, and on this becoming
known, the brigadier advised all who could leave
'to do so, intending to folldw when the rest had all
departed. Conveyances-being ie waiting most of
the ladies got away, the gentlemen following on
horseb tck ; 'and thus a safe retreat was effected to-
1
wards Kurnaul for some, -while others branched off
to Meerut. Many hair-1- readth escapes have been
related to the writ r---lidies remaining 8 or 10 d tys
in the jungle trusting to the natives for protection
and foed, in several instances freely given, and it is
gratifying to know that several persons -supposed
:to - have failed victims are now safe at Meerut,
Keirnaul, Urnbaila, or Simla. .
.- " Throughent the whole of this cruel business
the Goejsrs appe sr t 3 have been most active in the
I work of deVastation. Houses were burnt, and pro-
perty stolen and .destroyed, by them in the most
wanton manner, Banda of th-m were lying in
waitesg after nightfall all along the line of road 20
mites out of Delhi, on the watch for the refugees,
some of whom were molested and would hive been
robbed, and. perhaps murdered, had not decisive
measures been adopted. Mr. Wagentrela.tr and
family, flying for bare life in his own carriage, was
-attacked five times, his wife receiving some severe
blows from iron-bound lathees, and himself asword
cut on the armaand a blow ou the back of the neck
from a lathe -a But they contrived to evade them
all by firmness and judgment, shooting fOur and
wounding two of the ruffians in self-defence, and
eventually making good their re' reat to Kurnaul.
. " The escape of Sir T. Metcalfe was most provi-
vdential. . After being three days in Delhi after the
outbreak, he escaped into the jungles, hiding
wherever he could, and at length, after 10 days,
finding his way to Hansee.
"Several Europeans, (said to number 48) were
taken to the palace, or perhaps went there for pro-
tection ; these were taken care of by the King of
Delhi ; but the sowars of the 3d Cavalry, whose
thirst for European blood hid not been quenched,
rested not till they were all given up to them and
murdered one by one in cold blood. .
" The troopers are said later in the day to have
pointed to their legs before they murdered their
victims, and called attention to thumarks of their
.manacles, asking if they were not justified in' what
they were doing. This may or may not be the
case, but is certain that the severe sentence on the
mutineers of the 3d Cavalry was the immediate
cause of the Meerut massacre, which preceded that
et Delhi by only a. few hours. In- both stations,
the people of the city awl bazaar appear to have
been very active, and to have aided the mutineers
in their bloody took -- . ... . .
"Half measures will not do when the daY_ of re-
tribution arrives ; it' is,to be, hoped thet. a...lesson
way be taug'it net easily forgotten, and Delhi ra•
main no longer in the pages of history."

provide against a repetition of these tragedies.

LORD ELGIN AT SINGAPORE.
SINGAPORE, JTNE 3.

At 6 o'clock this morning the mail steamer
Singapore arrived here, having on board the Right
Hon. Lord Elgin, General Ashburnham, and their
respective staffs. Lord Elgin remains a guest of
the governor's - until the arrival of her Majesty's
ship Shannon, when his Excellency wi.!l proceed on
fo China. General Ashburnham and suite proceed
on in the Singapore to-morrow direct for Hong
Kong. The mail steamer Norna leaves for Galle at
noon to-day. Her Majesty's ship Spartan, Captain
Sir William Hoste, Bart., is still here waiting the
arrival of the Racehorse from China to relieve her,
when the former will sail for England. The hon.
company's s'eam frigate Auckland isnow here, but
leaves to-morrow for Calcutta with despatches fi om
Lord Elgin, and for the conveyance of European
troops for Bengal. The Chinese residents here are
quiet at present, but the disastrous news from
India has had a bad effect upon their minds, as
might naturally be expected.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

REPORT OF THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKET FROM

MAY 27TH TO JUNE 10TH.

The English mail from London of the llula ult., per
Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Ganges
reached Bombay on the sth instant.
The tightness in our money market, reported in our
last, bag increased during the past fortnight, and the
banks have again raised their rates of. interest 1 per cent.
all round ; arid as there is at present a sort of panic in
the bazaar, it is probable we may haVe,to record in our
next a much worse state of matters than now exist.
Government 4 per cent, paper is unsaleable, and may
be quoted nominally from 80 to 82, and fives 99, and
some of our local joint stock shares have given way m
proportion.
