Besides, pending the changes that must take
place in India, further precautions must be taken.
Although 80,000 men may be despatched before
the termination of the present month, nearly as
many more will be required before the pacifi-
cation of Hindostan, to say nothing of its
re-conquest, can be accomplished. We must
remember that the Bengal army has virtually
ceased to exist, and that the utmost caution must
be exercised before an adequate substitute can be
provided. The•Brahmin can no longer be trusted ;
fanum habet in cornu. He is essentially dan-
gerous, and at present nothing but Europeans can
be trusted in his place. The castes from which
the Bombay and Madras armies have been re-
cruited have exhibited greater fidelity, have sl evn
themselves more "faithful to their salt," but still
a large admixture of the European element must
be maintained if we would rest secure and tran-
quil in our Eastern territory.
Since the above was written the Mail has
already come to hand, and very considerable ex-
tracts will be found in another part of our
impression. To these we refer our readers, and
they will confirm the accuracy of the statements
above expressed. The reason why the East India
Company repudiates assistance may easily be con-
ceived. It ia, clearly perceived that such a de-
mand would be fatal to its existence, and that
India must thenceforward be placed under the direct
supremacy of the Crown, and the hybrid authority
discontinued, at once and for ever. Sooner or
later England will have to assume Indian respon-

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

THE INDIAN MUTINIES.
We (Daily News) have received our advices
from India and China, in anticipation of the Over-
land Mail, a telegraphic summary of which appeared
in yesterday's impression. The dates are :—Bom-
bay, July 14 ; Calcutta, July 5 ; Hong Kong,
June 24.

The following is the summary of the Bombay
Times of July 14 :

In the last fortnight we have probably passed
"the flood" of the insurrection, and may now hope
that our future advices will be chiefly occupied with
a recital of the subsidence of this great rebellion,
arid the restoration of order in the disturbed pro-
vinces. The truth is there are no more regiments
to mutiny, unless they are to be those of Bombay
and Madras, concerning the fidelity of which there
is not the slightest ground of suspicion. Delhi
had not fallen up to the 27th June, the date of our
latest advices, via Lahore. There has been a good
deal of fighting outside the walls, the rebels being
defeated on every occasion with great slaughter,
and it is matter of much congratulation that the
apparent hopelessness of their cause has effectually
checked the disposition of the mnfneers at other
stations to proceed to their assistance. The only
attempt which has been made to reinforce them,
seems to have been on the part of the Nusseerabad
mutineers, who were cut up dreadfully on the oc-
casion by General Barnard's force. Whether any
of them got inside the walls or not we cannot gay.
During the fortnight just elapsed we have re-
ceived intelligence of the mutiny of the troops at
Moradabad, Fyzabad, Scetapoore, Saugor, Now-
gong, BAnda, Futteghur, Mhow, aad Indore ; and
we proceed briefly to relate the particulars of each
in so far as they are known to us.
It is now evident that an arrangement existed
between the troops at Bareilly, Shahjehanpore,
Lucknow, and Motradabad to effect a simultaneous
rising. A gl Ince at the map will show the proxi-
mity of these stations to each other, and the out-
break occurred at each on the morning of the same

sibilitieg, and every unnecessary expense in the
shape of exorbitant rates of intsrest, drc.., will
eventually fall on the National Exchequer. Care
should therefore be taken to prevent the contracting

of any loan at 6 per cent. interest, 'which, with a
n tion al guarantee could be obtained at 31. We
must look to the protection and security of India
in the first instance, but so far as is consistent
therewith we must look to our pockets. The
charges thereon are sufficiently onerous, without.
unnecessarily increasing them for the gratification
of the Magnates of Leadenhall-street.

day.
The mutiny at.Bareilly, which we reported in a
few words in our last issue, seems to have been at-
tended with circumstances of peculiar atrocity and
treachery. Only the day before their outbreak, the
sepoys appea,!ed to their officers to recal their wives
and families from the Hills, where they had been
seat for safety, and even to the last moment these
miscreants swore to protect their officers to the
death. Tae regiments rose en masse on Sunday
morning, the Ist of Jane, a shotted gun being
fired as the signal about 11. o'clock. The men at
once rushed upon the officers' lines, and opened a
fusilade upon the bungalows. Such officers as were
able immediately got on their horses, and made fur
the rendezvous previously agreed upon amongst
them, the cavalry parade ground. Au ineffec.uel
effort was made to bring back the troops to thsir
allegiance, but the scoundrels opened upon them
with grape shot, and they had to ride for their lives.
The country having risen in all directions, it was
with extreme difficulty, and only by a ride of 70
miles, that the little band at last found safety at
Nynee Tal in the hills, where they had previously
sent their families. Hera the refugees are con-
gregated in numbers which will probably awe any
attempt t 3 attack them, and as the place is of very
difficult approach, we may hope they are in safety.
At Moradabad the desire of plunde:e seems to have
prevailed over the murderous propensities of these
miscreants, and they gave their officers two hours'
grace to make their escape, in which they fortu-
nately succeeded ; the whole of the officers (29th
Regiment) and the residents, with their families,
escaping to Nynee Tal the day after the arrival of
the Bareilly refugees. We stated in our last ad-
v.ces that great fear was entertained that the whole
, of the station of Sbabjehanpore had been mass fired.
We are happy, however, to learn that a good.many
have escaped, but we are unable as yet to give the
particulars. Our columns will be found to contain
elsewhere a list of the refugees that were at Nynee
Tel on the 12th ult., and there are probably many
concealed in the plain, waiting an opportunity to
join them.
The rising at Fyzabad occurred on the night of
Sunday, the Bth ult., the 6th Reg:went Oude Irre-
gular Infantry giving the signal, which was imme-
diately answered by the 22d Regiment Native
Infantry. They at once took possession of the bat-
tery, and would not allow the officers to approach,
but do not seem to have offered tnem any further
violence. Fyzabad is iu the very heart of Oude,
and is situate upon a branch of the Ganges. The
officers determined to escape by boat, and were
allowed quietly to embark. What followed is thus
related by one of the party :
" I remember the officers in the two boats ; I
accompanied Lieut. Bright, 22d Native Infantry ;
Lieut. Parsons, 6th Oude Irregulars, Lieut. Caat-
ley, 22d Native Infantry ; Sergeant Busher, Ser-
geant-Major Quartermaster-Serjeant, 27th Native
Infantry, and mpelf, were in one boat. Colonel
Goldney, Lieutenant Currie, Artillery ; Lieut.
Ritchie, 22d Native Infantry ; Sergeant Edwards,
and Sergeant-Major Matthews, in the second boat ;
three other boats followed behind ; we wan: ed two
hours for them, but as they did net come, we
pushed off. As we were getting into the boat we
saw the Sepoys of the 22d rushing toma-ds
the Treasury ; there were about two lakhs
and 40,000 rupees in Captain Drummend's
house (where the treasure had been placed).
On reaching a place celled Begumgunge, about
ten miles below Fyzabad, we met some mutineers
encamped '• at half-past one, theze men fired on us ;
there were 800 or 900 of them ; about 100 men fired
ou us when we were 600 yards off ; Col. Goldney
advised our pushing off t 3 the opposite ',auk of the
Gogra ; we got on an island among some j pow fields.
The mutineers got into diughees and followed us ;
we made for the main boat from the island ; there
were about 40 or 50 yards of water between us.
Major Mills was drowned. The sergeant-major,
Lieut. Bright, and I were taken prisoners, mid
taken to the ,ea,mp of the mutineers, who were men
of the 17th and 37th Native Infantry and the 17th
Irregular Cavalry. We were taken before the Soo-
bedar commanding the rebels. Ido not know his
name ; he was a Efindoo, and belonged to the 17th
Native Infantry. He was an old wait, slightly
made, about 5 feet 8 inches high, with grey hair, no
hair on his face, and dark complexion. He asked
U 3 who we were ;we replied. lie then appealed to
the Mussulmans on the Koran, and to the Hindoo I
on the cow, not to injure us, and told us to go
away. The men of the 17th then stepped out an
shot the sergeant-major and Lieut. Bright. I was
rescued by an artilleryman and hidden in a serai at
Begumgunge and sent off in dieguise. While
we were talking to the Soobedar, some 15 or 16 of
the Irregular Cavalry and 10 or 12 sepoys, went
after the remainder of our party. We heard firing
across the river ;- the party retureed, and reported
they had killed Colonel Goldney, and six other
officers, and that three had escaped. On arriving
at Tanda, on the 10th inst., I heard people in the
serai saying that six or seven officers hadbeen killed,
and two or three were sheltered by some zemindar
in Goruckpora district. After this, I came via
Mattoopoor, Shatigunge and Juaupore. Captain
Reed, Deputy Commissary ; Capt. A. P. Orr, As-
sistant Commissary ; Mr. E. 0. Bradford, diet),
and Capt. Thurnburn reached Rajah Mann Sine's
house, and he promised shelter and protection.
When I was at Mattoopoor, I heard that the above
officers were going down in boats, with their fa-
milies, escorted by some of the Rajah's guard. At
Tends I heard that a Mr. Fitzgerald, clerk in the
deputy Commissioner's office, and overseer sergeant
Hurst, who were escaping the families of some
sergeants to Allahabat via Sultanpore, were killed
and the women and children also murdered • I
don't know what bas become of the officers who
were in the boats behinds us when we left Fyza-
bad."

What a pity Mr. GLADSTONE did not devote
himself to the Bar. Of course any man who
shared largely in the gift of twenty millions to
West India planters (whose loss by negro eman-
cipation itself did not equal a twentieth part of
that sum) could not need to practise for pay ; but
what a glorious fellow ho would have made to
bewilder a jury ; to carry off his clients, as
HOMER'S gods and goddesses did their heroes, in
a fog; or to shift in argument, for black or whit,.,
as suited his object. We believe that many mem-
bers thought him thoroughly in earnest in the
long, impassioned, and eloquent, though thoroughly
sophistical speech which he delivered against the
second reading of the Divorce and Matrimonial
Causes Bill. We heard of one member (for the
credit of his judgment we conceal his name) whose
vote was gained by that speech, though followed
by the manly, practical, and sensible one of Mr.
WALPOLE. Luckily the majority could enjoy the
exhibition, but retain their cool common sense
' when it came to plain business. They did not
mistake fireworks for cannon.
If, however, any were deceived then, they have
been undeceived since. Mr. GLADSTONE, followed
by his clique, have shown themselves to be the
moat unscrupulous partisans. He, as a known Ro•
manizer, or Ecclesiastical Mystic, or one at least
of the Chutch-and-Prie.l-, party, is strongly in 1
favour of the absolute indissolubility of marriage.
This was the acknowledged ground of his opposi-
tion to the bill ; though it would not alter the
existing practice in regard to divorce and the re-
marriage of ,the divorced, it would give to that
practice the sanction of a direct law, and of a
Court for the object, instead of requiring each
case to form the subject of a separate act—in
other words, of a special law. It made no difference
that the practice is so settled that it has the full
force of law—Romanizors in the Church of Eng-
land abhor everything which makes the diverg-
ence of the Church from their dear old mother
more apparent ; they fought hard, there-
fore, that definite permanent law should not
glaringly defy the decrees of the Holy Fathers
of Trent. The second reading decided, how-
ever, that the English Church cared not a s'raw
for the matrimonial decrees of the said bacllelors
of Trent, on matters about which they ought to
have known but litt!e.
But there was another ground on which Mr.
GLADSTONE and all his junior counsel for " Angli-
canism" opposed the bill. It would open, they
said, what was now the peculiar privilege of the
aristocracy, to the middle classes. Divorce would
descend to a lower stratum of society. At pre-
sent a wealthy man only can pay for the honour,
or dishonour, of legal effectual separation from a
partner who has already been guilty of moral
separation. The middle classes enjoy the edify-
ing spectacle of three rehearsals of all the parts of
a crim. con. case before three tribunals, but they
are not permitted to imitate their betters in a
single performance. Non cuivis homini contingit
adire Corinthum, might be most appropriately
said of the luxury of the elm of actions we refer
to ; and Mr. GLADSTONE stoutly insisted that the
cost of these actions ought not to be lowered.
He thought it better that his Corinth should re-
main inaccessible to as many as possible.
What, then, shall we say to the special pleading,
or rather to the unblushing factiousness of a man,
who, beaten on his grand point—who, when the
house had decided that marriage should be legally
dissoluble, and that divorce should be within the
competency of the middle classes, immediately
turns round and would force on the Government
the extension yet further of the possibility of divorce!
First he carries against the Government a proposal
for local courts to take home divorce to every man's ,

We have reason to believe, however, that a con-
siderable number of the officers have effected their

escape from this station, and whatever may have

taken place after leaving it, the conduct of the
sepoys at the time seems to have been characterised
by the strangest moderation. We cannot resist the
temptation of quoting from a letter on the subject:
" The account of the mutiny of the 221 Regi-
ment beats any romance ; they guarded their offi-
cers and their bungalows after mutinying, placed
sentries over magazines and all public property,
sent out pickets to prevent the towns-people and
servants from looting, held a council of war, in
which the cavalry (Fisher's Irregular) proposed to
kill the officers, toM the 22cl cobjected, and ilifiglllo

the officers that they would be allowed to leave, and
might take with them their private arms-alai pro-
ptrty, but no public property, as that all belonged
to the King of Oude. Their officers asked for boats;
the rebel commissary-general, a Resaldar, was or-
dered to provide them ; he did so, but merely small
dingier, so that they could only bring away a bundle
each, and then they were presented with 900 rs.
which the rebels had taken from the treasure chest

to give them. When the officers tried to recal
them to their duty, they respectfully assured them
that they were now under the orders of their na-
tive officers, and the Subadar-Major of the 22d Re-
giment had been appointed to the command of the
sta'ion, and that each corps had appointed one of
their officers to be their chief."

We are as yet without particulars of the mutiny
at Saugor, the news of which reached U 3 on the Bth
instant from our correspondent at Kamptee, who
was able, however, to inform us that no atrocities
had as yet been committed, all the officers and
families, with the European Artillery, having
taken refuge inthe Fort. Saugor is the chief station
in the districts known as the Saugor and Nerbudda
territories, and must have a considerable European
population in the shape of writers, conductors, and
others, con terning whose safety, after what has
transpired at Jhansi, in these same territories,
much uneasiness must be felt. It is to be hoped
that these men and their families have found refuge
in the fort also.

Concerning the mutiny at Nowgong, we simply
know the fact that the head-quarters of the 12th
Na'ive Infantry and of the 14th Irregular Cavalry
stationed there, have followed the example of the
left wing of each corps which was stationed at
Jhansi, but that the officers are safe. The news of
the Jhansi mutiny we communicated by last
with an account of the bloody tragedy enacted on
that occasion in the massacre of all the Europeans

in the place. We now learn that beside Mrs.
Skene and family, Mrs. Browne, Miss Browne,
and Miss Davidson have been killed. Altogether
twelve of our countrymen and women were slaugh-
tered in this small station. The only persons
known to have escaped are two Custom's officers,
who have reach Agra. •

The only particulars we have of the mutiny at '
Banda are contained in a letter from Nagode, dated
19th June, of which the following is an excerpt :
" We have escaped from Banda to Nagode, and
through God's nv.rcy have been miraculously pre-
served.—On Sunday, the 14th, the ra vab's troops
mutinied as well as the N. l's. ,• the Mahomedans
planted their flag and wanted to kill 113, but the
Nawab stood by us, and we got into the buggies
and on horses and got off. The place was in a
fearful blaze before we had gone a mile ; it was a
fearful scene. We start again.to-night for Mirza-
pore, and hope to reach it safely, but this dietrict
is very much disturbed. We have in our party
Mr. and Mts. Edmonstone, Mr. and Mrs. Webster,
Messrs. Mayne, Sherer, Clark, Sews, Cousins,
Hue,hins.on, Oswin, and Glynn. We are staying
with Major and Mrs, Elis at Nagode ; their kind-
ness is extreme, and we have rested two days."
Of the whole country of Rohilcund, Futtehghur
(Furruckabad) was the last station to rise. The
10th Regiment has unquestionably given in, simply
to the force of the dangerous example all around it.
The sepoys of this corps continued for weeks to
guard the treasury and maintain discipline, while
every station near them was in open mutiny. They
do net appear to have offered any violence what-
ever to their superior officers, but a most melan-
choly rumour prevailed in Allahabad on the 23d
instant as to the fate of the unhappy fugitives after
they left the place. We take it from the English-
man of the 29th ultimo :
"Did the report of the massacre reach you of the
Futtyghur fugitives ? It pas,ed in atrocity all
that has hitherto been perpetrated. 132 Euro-
peaus, men, women, and children, iu 59 boats,
left iettygliur for this place.
They were all the non-militaryeresidents of the
place. On arrival at Bhitoor the Nana Sahib
tired on them with the artillery the government
allowed him to keep ; one round shot struck poor
Mrs. —, and killed her on the spot. The boats
were then boarded and the inmates landed and
dragge I to the parade ground at Cawnpore, where
they were first fired at, then literally hacked to
pieces with Tulwars. Report says not one esca-
ped."
Bhitoor is a little place a few miles to the north
of Cawnpore, and we sadly presage a confirmation
of this intelligence, in view of the state of matters
in that neighboinhoocl. A bloody reckoning will
surely he exacted of these fiends in human shape.
At Mhow the 23d Bengal Native Infantry have
mutinied. The number of Europeans slain is at
present unknown, but it is said-to be four. The
officers are holding a fortified square in the place,
where the la lies and all the other Europeans have
taken refuge. If the 3rd Nizam's Cavalry prove
staunch they will soon be relieved, as Captain Orr
was within fifty miles of Mhow some days ago.
We know little of the state of matters at Indore,
beyond the fact that the two regiments of the Ma-
harajah Holkar have openly mutinied, and pro-
ceeded with the Bengal regiments towards Oojein,
on their way, as is supposed, to Delhi. The Maha-
rajah seems to be in no way implicated in this
business, but to have acted with the same good
faith that has characterised the conduct of the
Gwalior Prince,
We have now again arrived at the close of a long
and tragic story. We can of course understand
well the intense excitement this intelligence will
produce at home, and we pass on without comment
to notice the state of matters before Delhi, and the
psoeress of the siege.
The force at Gen. Barnard's diMposal bas doubt-
less been inadequate for the reduction of the place,
but a 3 important reinforcements must have
joit/bd his camp long era this, we entertain
a confident hope that our next advices will an-
nounce the fall of the place. Meantime the force
has not been idle. Animated by the courage of de-
spair, the mutineers have made the most desperate
sorties, but ever with the same result. They have
been di iven back into the city with terrible loss on
every occasion, to find eventually as we trust their
tomb within its wall. Our columns contain ample
details of these several actions, and to attempt to
summarise them here would swell our epitome to
an inconven;ent length.
General Van Cortlandt win is marching upon
Jhansi and Hisser with the Buttlannah irregular
Force, has had two engagements with the rebels in
the uet-hbourhood of Sirze defeating them in each
instance with severe loss. The last relon was a very
decided one, and the rebels fled in Ceorder, leaving
200 men dead upon the field, besides many prisoners
in our hands. The troops of the Bikanir Rajah,
2,700 men of all arms, have joined Gen. Cortlandt's
force, though what raliaace can be placed on these
men remains to be seen. Major-Gen. Nicholson's
moveable column was at Jallundur at the date of our
last advices, via Lahore.
The whole Punjab remains quiet, thanks to the
energetic conduct of the comm'ssioner and the men
in command, Many of the disarmed native regi-
ments have begge I the restitution of their weapons,
and to be led against Delhi, but it would be mad-
ness, after what has transpired, to listen to such
prayers. The men may be loyal in their present
mood, but in the presence of an example such as
that offered now at Delhi, would yield to the dan-
gerous influence to a certainty.
To overawe the Mewar territory, and keep the
Gwalior contingent in check, a considerable force
is on the march from Deesa, and must now be in
advance of Nusseerabad. It consists as follows :-
3 Horse Artillery Guns (Europeans), 500 men
H.M. 83d Reg'. Foot, 400 men 12th R-gt. Bom-
bay N. 1., two squadrons 21 Bombay L.C.
To quell the mutiny
which is now general along
the valley of the Nerbudd, from Mhow to Bundel-
kund, a light field brigade bas been ordered to
assemble immediately at Malligaum, under the
command of Col. C. H. Somereet, and the troops
are already on their march thither. This force will
be composed as follows :—Half Troop Horse Artil
lery (Europeans), a squadron H.M. 14th light Dra-
goons, a wing H. M. BGth Regt, Foot, sth Regt.
Bombay Native Infantry, 3d Regt. Nizam's Ca-
valry, a detachment of the Poona Horse, and a
detachment of Sappers and Miner's.
General Woodburn's movable column, originally
ordered to Mhow, stands fast at Aurungabad, and
this arrangement is doubtless a judicious one, in.
view of the unsettled state of the Nagpore territo-
ries, and the doubtful temper of the Nizam troops.
We regret to learn that the General has been com-
pelled to resign the command through severe sick-
ness. Colonel C. S. Stuart is appointed to succeed
him. This force is composed as follows :--Two
squadrons H.M.'s 14th Light Dragoons, a battery
European Horse Artillery, 25th Regiment Bombay
N. 1., 24th ditto ditto (one wing), the Light Infan-
try battalion (Persia.)
General Woodburn's column has already crushed
the rebellion at Aurungabad, where our readers
may remember the Ist Regt. Nizam's Cavalry mu-
tinied, and the presence of the force at that sta-
tion will doubtless overawe effectually any open
disaffection in that quarter for the future.

MADRAS.
(Prom the Madras Ath,enceum of July ii.)
On Saturday evening the 27th ult —the day be-
fore the steamer left Madras was thrown into a
panic by the arrival in great haste, from the
Mount of a company of Horse Artillery and six
guns. Many gentlemen and ladies drove into
the fort, several made for the Mount, and hun-
dreds of the inhabitants rushed to the arsenal. It
was said that the Commissioner of Police had re-
ceived intimation of an intended riing among the
Mahomedans of Triplicane, but as nothing of an offi-
cial nature hat; been said about the matter people are
still in the dark. The Horse Artillery has been
picketed before Government House since the 27th
ult., arms have been sent to the Club, troops are
stationed at other parts, and places of rendezvous
have been appointed ; but as very little, if any
publicity, has been given to the last-mentioned fact
—from a mistaken idea that by so doing alarm
would be excited—the advantages of such a mea-
sure will, in case there should be any necessity for
using them, be confined to a few. But notwith-
standing all these preparations there is every rea-
son to believe that we are perfectly safe in Madras,
and they are or should only be made on the same
principle that prompts a careful man not to be un-
prepared for any possible contingency, however re-
mote it may be. On the 9th inQtant the Volunteer
Cavalry and militia assembled on the island for
the first time at a little gun fire. The scene that
was presented was a very lively one ; horsemen
galloping here and there, and bodies of militia-men
marching about in various directfon,,. Large num-
bers of the fair sex assembled to witness the opera-
tions which were, however, not of a very interest-
ing nature, consisting as they merely did, of the
distribution of arms and the arrangement-of the
volunteers into their respective divisions. The
natives of all creeds and castes held a public meet-
ing the other day, at which they expressed their
detestation of the fearful crimes that had been com-
mitted in the north-west, assured Government of
their loyalty, and adopted an address to that effect.
The address is now being signed by the native com-
munity, and therefore has not been presented to the
governor.

incendiarism, and assassination. The honourable
and true-hearted soldiers of the native army have
vowed obedience one hour, and the next have mas-
sacred their own officers at their mess table. In the
6th Native Infantry an intimacy of 20 years did not
protect the officers from their murderous followers.
While oneregards such treachery, such blood-thirsty
and unprovoked cruelty with horror, it is consola-
tory to find the spirit of British soldiers great as
ever, rising triumphant amidst the difficulties by
which they are surrounded, regardless of the num-
bers to which they are opposed, and though a mere
handful, always beating the assassins who dared to
face them. This spirit is a sure guarantee for the
complete re establishment of British supremacy
throughout the land. Yet the encouragement of
thanks, wasted upon the disloyal Sepoy, has not
yet ben vouchsafed to these warriors, who have
so nobly sustained the fame of their country.
Our communication with the Upper Provinces is
so completely cut off, the country is so infested
with bands of maranders and brigands, that we get
no regular news beyond Allahabad, nor shall we
till Cawnpore is relieved, and the road to Agra re-
opened. A little light is, however beginning to
penetrate the d Illness. The native bankers are
known to receive early and accurate intelligence,
and for the last few days their operations have in-
dicated confidence in the restoration of order.
They have sent about ten lakhs in money and some
goods also up the river by a steamer, and have been
readily purchasing government securities.
The government has commenced a prosecution
againt a wretched little Bengallee paper. The pro-
prietor has been held to bail in twenty thousand
rupees, and is terribly frightened, declaring that he
knew nothing of the acts of the editor.
Lot d Canning has done a little bit in the Louis
Napoleon style ; he has given a warning to the
Friend of India, that his license will be taken
away if he again transgresses the narrow limits as-
signed him. We wish his lordship had the courage
to take another leaf out of the French Emperor's
book by marching out the traitors, of whom he bas
a list, and shooting them on the misdaun. One
such example would be worth a hundred lectures
o the press.

Judicial Commissioner's Office, Lahore, June 24.

Nothing new has been reported from Delhi since yes.
terday. Brigadier-Geneva Ciamberlain, actingadjutant-
general of the army, had left Kurnaul, and will have

Agent at Bhurtpoor, dated the 22nd, states that all was
well at Lucknow and at Allababad, up to the last ad-
vices ; and at the latter station it is stated that the
mutinners were very severely dealt with by the Sikh
regiment stationed there. The latter further mentione

Bdunres, which will, doubtless, have moved upwards ere
this.

It is reported that the mutineers of the flwalior Con-

their ultimate intentions are not known.

Delhi on the 23rd, on a biota occasion the efforts of the
mutineers were more determined than on any previous
one. It is said that their dead, at the close of the day,
were counted at hundreds, their aggregate being eEti-

buildings outside the city, in which they had sheltered
themselves, and given us much annoyance, have been
taken possession of by us ; and it iy said that, since the
above date, they have, in a marked manner, evinced lees
boldness in their attacks than heretorore.
