MISCELLANEOUS.

Lord Clarendon's message, dated 13th July, to
Consul at Marseilles, and Sir C. Wood's, dated
14th, tl Consul at Cagliari, received.

Upward of four hundred seamen and marines
and twenty officers of Her Majesty's frigates
Shannon and Pearl, have been formed into a
Naval Brigade, and detached to the Upper Pro-
vinces. The brigade is furnished with ten &8-
pounders, and two or three field pieces, taken
from the above vessels. All left Calcutta on the
18th instant by steamer.
All quiet at Nagpore and Hyderabad. By
latest accounts the Punjaub quite tranquil. The
14th Native Infantry at Helym, who refused to
give up their arms, destroyed. The 46th Native
Infantry and wing of 9th Cavalry mutinied at
Sealkote, and killed three or four officers, the ma-
jority finding shelter in the fort. The mutineers
were attacked by Brigadier Nicholson on the 120,
and again on the 16th, and hardly any escaped.
Their spoil fell into our hands.
The revenue in the Punjaub has been paid to
the last farthing, and the most loyal spirit pre-
vails not only among the Sikh soldiery, but the
population generally. The only apprehension is
a failure of funds, At the end of September or
October, the Government will give its attention
to this ; meanwhile the local authorities have
invited advances on loan fur one year at 6 per
cent.,—result not yet reported.

The mutineers made great preparations for un
attack on the '3lst of July, the eve of the Bukree
ied festival, but nothing occurred beyond some
desultory skirmishing. On the evening of August
Ist they attacked the right of the British position,
and maintained the contest through the night, and
up to the afternoon of August 2.1. Our loss was
very slight-10 killed, and 36 wounded—the
:nen being kept well under cover. Capt. Fravers,
32d N. 1., serving with Lokos Rifles, was killed.
On the 6th of August, the enemy's cavalry,
supported by artillery, attacked the Metcalfe

talion, was killed ; Lieut. Venion, artillery, and
Lieut. Temple, Kumaon battalion, wounded.

at intervals. A.powder magazine of the enemy
exploded this day, with a loss, it is rumoured, cf
500 lives.

the mutineers to enfilade our guns, was destroyed.
Skirmishing was kept up for during that and the
