MEERUT.

JUNE 4.—Yesterday was the first time the Agra
mail came in since the 20th ult.
We have succeeded in opening a regular dak
between this and Kurnaul.

The best portion of our Meerut European-troops
left this about a week ago for Delhi. They have
had two severe engagements with the rebels ; the
loss on our side is, thank God ! but little in com-
parison to that of the enemy's-17 altogether on
oiir aide have been killed and 19 wounded, and
amongst these 5, 1 l,elieve died from strokes of the
sun. Dr. Moore, of the Carabincers, was taken ill
when he was comingin with the wounded, and died
shortly after his arrival here. A lieutenant of the
rifles, Mr. Napier, has had ono of his legs shot off.
Mr. Budd is out with the camp as baggage-master.
We are still living in the Arsenal, but are a little
more comfortable now, our numbers having de-

creased a little.
Last evening five murderers were hanged, and
the evening before six. Some of those who suffered
last evening were proved to be Mrs. Courtney's
murderers. One was the private Jemadar of the
native deputy collector. One of these savages was
undaunted to the last. Ho wished all his brothers,
or rather his brethren, good bye, and blessed them
all, and told them the Feringbees were taking his
life for no fault of his ; and he scarcely gate them
time to secure the noose properly round his neck,
when he jumped off the platform.
June s.—Dr. Moore, of the 6th Dragoon Guards,
died this morning. A party of the 60th Rifles and
Carabineers have just returned from a very success-
ful foray, having killed some 150 of the blessed
Goojurs without having a man hurt. Five villages
were destroyed. —Mofussilite Extra, June 6.

artillery cro3Eed the Hinder' by a ford un the right,
pr.tected by the Carabineers and the Rifles by the
bridge. The enemy was driven iu by the Rifles
and fira of Major Scott's battery, and the Horse
artillery turned their flank and they fled, leaving
all the guns and a large supply of intrenching
tools. Some took refuge in a village, and were shot
down or burnt out. Another party of their force
was pursued by the Carabineers. I was allowed
by Brigadier Wilson to attend upon him during
the action, and can therefore speak from' personal
knowledge of the admirable manner in which the
battle was fought by our troops. Our loss fell chiefly
among the Rifles, but I am not aware of the actual
number of killed and wounded.
In another letter it is stated that our loss i
