every attaok of the enemy. On the 9th of July
the mutineers left 1,000 of their numbers on the
field and must have lost many more in the sub-
sequent encounters referred to in the despatch.
Large detachments had necessarily been left to
protect Jullunder, Loodianah, Dugshaie, Subat-
tehoo, Kossawlie, Umballa, Meerut, and Phillour.

The attack of the Neemuch mutineers, about
which so much confusion prevailed in the tele-
graphic depatches, took place before Agra. Our
side consisted chiefly of volunteers. They were,
however, overwhelmed by numbers, and being
without cavalry, were unable to follow up the
temporary advantage. Hence the loss of 49 killed
and 92 wounded out of the party of 500. The
remainder of the Europeans, however, continued
to take refuge in the fort. The cantonments were
destroyed. In our impression of yesterday we
gave the names of the officers and civilians who
had fallen in the unequal contest-500 men
against more than 10,000.
At Mhow and Indore there seems to have been
undue confidence in the fidelity of the troops.
The massacre was occasioned thereby. However,
many officers and ladies took shelter in a fortified
square at Mhow, held by Captain HUNGERFORD'S
battery of Europeans. At Indore, Col. DURAND
and his surviving officers succeded in effecting
their escape, protected by some faithful compa-
nies of the Bheel Corps. However, Brigadier
STUARTS'S corps, the Bombay moveable column,
was marching on the town, and would speedily
effect a prompt settlement of the question. It is
satisfactory to know that Holkar has remained
firm through every difficulty.
There has been a fearful amount of murder,
rapine, and spoliation of every description. We
trust, however, that with the blessing of Provi-
dence, we may soon be enabled to suppress the
insurrection, and inflict well-merited punishment
on the mutineers.
Madras and Bombay remain tranquil.

From the great pressure on our space we aro
compelled to refer our readers tl the general ac-
counts respecting other districts. We have,
however, already explained the most interesting
and important points.

England must now look India and its difficul-
ties in the face. Fearful as the present tempest
may be, nothing less, we fear, would have been
sufficient to compel the attention of the middle
classes of England to the claims of our Empire
Colony. We should have suffered our aristocracy
and the East India Company again to cheat us
with the juggle of a double government, con-
structed solely to ♦eil mismanagement and keep
Indian business an impenetrable mystery. The
Premier, Mr. VERNON SMITE, and Mr. MANGLES
have now obtained indeed a six months' license ;
but if parliamentary questioning and supervision
be wanting, the profound personal interest of so
many English families, combined with the English
press, will, in some measure supply its place. It
is almost like the slaying of the first-born, for
where is the town, the village almost, or even the
family which is not intereAcd, or anxious
about, some one in India or going thither. Letters
will be arriving in thousands by every mail, and
many of these, if of importance, will find their
way to the newspapers.

We, as journalists, owe it indeed to the public,
now, to publish freely all communications that may
reach us, since in India itself Editors write
under a Gagging Act. Not only the native edi-
tors, whose miserable productions had been openly
disloyal, are thus placed in fetters, but English
gentlemen, who had supported vigorously England
and the English—had supported, too, the general
policy of the Government, and had only criticised
fairly particular acts, with the measure of freedom
necessary to render their nriti3ll,l of any value t)
the Government itself, to the Anglo-Indian com-
munity, and to us here at home—must write under
a license which may be withdrawn in an hour; with-
drawn without even one of Louis NAPOLEON'S
warnings. We certainly think a more unwise
step could hardly have been taken ; and the first
fruits of it are apparent enough. The Friend of
India was warned-for an article which we have read
carefully through, and we are confident that no
ingenuity can honestly extract from it evidence
of hostility to the Government, or of injurious
tendency on the native mind. It was, in fact, as
a whole, a manly assertion that our general course
with India and its worthless puppet rulers was
just what it ought to be. The Editor is naturally
indignant at the timidity of a Government which
shrinks from saying boldly to the natives—Oar
Acts have been right, we will not reverse them.
It is but the self-same timidity and consequent
trimming to the Brahmin Sepoys of the Bengal
army which have emboldened them to mutiny,
that has placed the Anglo-Indian press
under censorship, because it was necessary
to coerce the villainous Native press. The
Editor, therefore, in a scathing article, takes
leave of political discussion for the next three
months. We cannot wonder at his irritation.
How should we ourselves feel, to be interdicted
by the popular party—whose measures we criti-
cise, to be sure, but on the whole vigorously sup-
port—from political discussion. We should be
compelled to despise friends who could not endure
friendly, even if occasionally sharp criticism, for
the sake of our general and hearty support.
The truth is we must, as we have already said,
look facts in the face. We are conquerors in
India, and we cannot govern but as conquerors.
We may make our rule as mild as we please, but
firm we must be. We may render it attractive
to the numerous tribes and races who had been
maltreated and robbed by unprincipled con-
querors, but we must make it respected by all.
Never did a country offer .a finer opportunity
than India for obtaining all the native forces we
can need on the best possible t)rms. Numerons
small but warlike tribes are ready from habit,
almost from creed, to be loyal mercenaries, sin-
gular as the expression may seem to an
Eigliah-
man. The Swiss, however, understand it even
in Europe. And throughout the Eliudoo popu-
lation the army presents to the low castes, the
despised and contemned of the Brahmins, the
means of elevation to equality with his despiser,
if not of superiority over him. The conquering race
is naturally the fount tin of honour ; it is so
unquestionably in the eyes of Orientals. By ac-
cepting and elevating the oppressed castes, through
admission into the army we should at once erns')
our worst antagonist, the casts system, and attach
to us those who had been sufferers by it.

In the Madras and Bombay armies where this
system has been pretty much carriel out we see
that the troops continue faithful, and we only
hope that the long impunity of so many of the
Bengal Brahmin Sepoys may not at 13ngth stir up
rebellious thoughts further smith. Of the general
principle to be adopted we feel no doubt what:ver.
We have the Government by conquest. The
strong hand got it and the strong hand must
keep it. In the Northern Provinces we
must rely only upon a large majority of
English forces, and they must be liberally
furnished. The castes and races of unquestion-
ablefidelity we may gradually recruit:from ; but we
Ithink it very doubtful whether a single additional
native of the caste which has pro ved itself disloyal

should ever be allowed to enter the army again. '
The Brahmins were once the supreme race in
India—they will never thank us for our rule, and
they ought never to have arms in their hands.
Their importance has been chiefly sustainel by
their position in the army; they ought henceforth
to be kept out of it, and they will thus sink beneath
the power to do mischief. To the Mussulmen,
the instigators of the mutiny, and smarting under
our rule as the conquerors whom we con-
quered, the same remarks to a considerable extent
apply also. We must keep, our power in India,
so far as the army is concerned, not by pet-
ting the Mussulman and Brahmin aristocracy, but
by elevating those whom they despise. We must
create our own aristocracy, and rigidly administer
justice to all.
After all it is our own island that must be our
reliance. If we have but thirty millions here to
enlist from, against the 100,000,000 of India, one
English soldier is worth more than three natives
—worth three times three more probably. 14-
taining the Artillery wholly in European hands,
giving the predominance in strength to the Euro-
pean infantry, and employing only thcse diverse
tribes and classes of the natives whose position
and interest insured their &tali+ y, our
power would be not only secure, but it
would never be assailed again. We should then
have full leisure to carry out those social
ameliorations, in regard to law, the administra
tion of justice, irrigation, railroads, and every-
thing which facilitated the introduction of English
capital, energy, and civilization irto India, on
which the future welfare of India tnquestionably
depends. As to Christianity, we believe with
NAPIER, that under such a regime it mint,
though that is not the object of Government,
drive out Hindooism, simply because truth and
sense must beat supersitition and nonsense.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

THE MUTINIES IN INDIA.

We have received our advices in anticipation 0
the Overland Mail. The dates hre—Caleutta, July
28 ; Bombay, July 30 ; Hung-Kong, July 10.
The following is the summary of the Bombay
Times of July 30 :
During the last fortnight the career of rebellion
has remained unchecked throughout India, except
at Futtehpore, where the mutineers under J>.laua
Saheb have been thrice defeat al by the British
troops. On the morning of the 17th instant,
General Havelock, who left Ailahabad with about
2,000 Europeans, consisting of the 64th Regiment,
78th Highlanders, Madras Fusiliers, and a com-
pany of Royal Artillery, attacked and totally
defeated the insurgents, capturing eleven guns,
and scattering their forces in utter confusion in
the direction of Cawnpore. By two harassing
marches he had joined Major Renaud's advanced
column three hours before daylight, and arrived
about eight o'clock four miles from Futtehpore,
where he encamped. The enemy advanced out of
Fut'ehpore, and opened fire upon a recounoissanee
under Colonel Tytler. General Havelock mirch-2cl
with eight guns in the centre tinier Capt. Maud ,
Royal Artillery, forming the whole of the infantry
in quarter distance column in support. Captain
Maude's fire electrified the enemy, who abandoned
gun after gun, and were then driven by our skir-
mishers and columns through garden enclosures,
and the streets of Futtehpore, in complete con-
fusion. This splendid victory was gained without
a single casualty on the side of the British, not a
man being touched by the fire of the enemy. The
enemy's strength was said to have been two regi-
ments *of cavalry, three of infantry, and eleven
guns, which were all captured. After this battle
General Havelock continued his victorious progress
towards atwnpor3, which he re-occupied, after
having beaten the enemy three times, and cap-
turing twenty-six guns. Nana Saheb, the rebel
leader, had fled to Bithoor, which is about eight or
ten miles distant from Cawnpore, and we have no
doubt that General Havelock would follow the
treacherous Mahratta up to that place.
These glorious successes are dimmed by a fright.
ful tragedy which has occurred at Cawnpore, where
Sir Hugh Wheeler and a small band of Europeans
had long held out against fearful odds. It appears
from the conflicting reports published regarding
this melancholy catastrophe, that after Sir Hugh
Wheeler was killed the force at Cawnpore accepted
the offer of safety made by Nana Saheb and the
mutineers. The treacherous miscreant, however,
whose hands were already stained with the blood
of the luckless fugitives frcm Futtyghur, opened
fire on the boats in which the party were allowed to
enter, and destroyed them all. °deer accounts state
that the wives and children of the officers and sol-
diers, con-isting of 240 persons, were taken into
Cawnpore, and sold by
~..), public auction, when, aftt r
being treated with the highest indignities, they
were barbarously
slaughtered by the inhabitants.
There is, notwithstanding, a faint hope that some
few have escaped the general massacre, as it is said
t'iat Nana Saheb hae more than a hundred Euro-
pean prisoners in
n his whom he intends to
hold as These hands,hesean probably the remains
of General Wheeler's force at Cawnpore. Such
atrocities as those committed by Nana Saheb are
almost unpar)lleled in the history of the world, but
we hope tee punishment foe his crimes will not be
long deferred.
Lucknow still hell out atthe date of the latest
advices, but its heroic defender the brave and noble-
minded Sir Heery Lawrence, is no more. The in-
telligence of the death of this gallant officer has
reached Bombay from Lucknow, and bee caused
universal regret, as the event is truly regarded as a
national loss in the present crisis. He was wounded
in a sortie ag dust the enemy on the 2d July, and
died of lockjaw on the 4th idem. The garrison
nothing daunted by the death of their intrepid
leader, continued to bold out against the hordes of
niutineers who surrounded them, and it is expected
that they will maintain their groand until relieved
by General Havelock. Major Banks hail assume'
the command of the garrison, which continued in
the highest spirits.
The capture of Delhi has not yet been ac-
complished, and seems to be as far off as ever.
The enemy made several sorties and attacked
the British forces, but were a'ways repulsed
with heavy loss. On the Ot!t, the muti-
neers assailed our right roar in force, but were
driven back into the city, leaving 1,000 dead

on the field. Several other atteurps were made to
turn the British position, but fai!erl. Sir Henry
Barnard, C. 8., Commander of the Forces, died in
the Britis'i camp before Delhi oa the sth July, of
cholera. He has been succeeded in the command
by General Reel,who acted with so much decision
and in.lgmeut in the Punjaub on the first outbreak
of Vie mutiny. The latest intelligence from Delhi
is the 14th instant, wlvn everything remained in
the same state as heretofore. An officer in the
camp, writing on that date, says, "We are doing
nothing hero towards taking Delhi, and are merely
ii( -fending ourselves against s(xties of the enemy.
We have pirts of five European regiments, but
can mus,er only 2,000 EUropcans for any effective
att ref:, large detachments from each regiment hav-
ing been left to ptot,2ct Jidlunder, Loodianah,
Dugshaie, Subathoo, Umballo, Meerut,
and Phillo.or. In fact, t4uall tb-tAchments only of
.each regiment have joined us. The enemy are far
superior to us in artillery.' This shows the ne-
cessity for the prompt dispatch of large reinforce-
ments from England, and we fear that nothing can
be done to Et.ur the tide of sedition until the ar-
deal of fresh troops in this country.
At Aga matters have approached a crisis. The
close neighhourhood of the Na3much and Nusseer-
abad mutineers, who encamped about 20 miles from
the city, compelled the European residents to alma-

don the cantonments and take refuge in the fort.
The garrison consisted of the 3d Bengal Europeans

and a battery of artillery, besides which a corps of
volunteers, about 500 strong, was raised from among
the Christian population. The rebels having ap-
proached the city, with the evident object of plun-
dering the cantonments, the troops in the fort
marched out to attack them on the sth July, when

a battle ensued, in which the British suffered con-
siderable loss. Our troops, who had no cavalry to

support them, after having beaten the enemy, were
obliged to retire into the fort, in consequence of
their supply of ammarition having filed through
the explosion of the tumbrils. There were 49
Europeans killed and 92 wounded in this

affair, out of a total force of about five hun-
dred men engaged. The mutineers, after the
battle, destroyed nearly all the houses in the
cantonment, in which they were assisted by the
budmashes of the city, and the prisoners liberated

rora the gaol. The Europeon inhabitant 3, how-
. ..

ever, had previously taken refuge in the Fort,
which prevented a general massacre from taking
place, the only people kille I outside being Major
Jacob, formerly in • Scindiah's servica, and Mr.
Hubbard, of the Agra College. Captain D'Oyly,
of the Bengal Artillery, was mortally wounded in
the action on the sth inst., and six gentlemen be-

longing to the militia were also killed, one of whom
was Monsieur Jourdan, the celebrated equestrian
performer.,
The details of the mutiny at Mhow and Indore,
and the massacre at the layer place, where about 40
Europeans were cruelly murdered, have been re-
ceived since our last summary. Bloolshed might
have been prevented if precautions had been taken
earlier, as at Saugor and Nagpore ; but. Col. Platt,
commanding the station, had implicit confidence
in the fidelity of his men, and believed them to be
quite staunch to the last moment. So infa-
tuated was he in this belief, that he actually left
the fort for the purpose of haranguing the men of
the 23d N. 1., but paid with his life the penalty
of 4is, blindness. Major Harris, commanding the
Ist Light Cavalry, and Capt. Fagan, Adjutant of
the 23d Native Infantry, were also murdered, but

;he rest of the officer 3 and ladies took refuge in a for.

tified square, which was held by Capt. Hungerford's
battery of Europeans. At Indore, the Residency
was a►tacked by Holkar'e disaffected troops, joined
by the rabble of the city, but Colonel Durand, the
Resident, and the rest of the officers of his suite,
succeeded in making their escape, protected by
some faithful companies of the Bheel Corps. Many
Europeans were butchered in the city, and among
them was Mr. Ross McMahon, a civil engineer, who
took a contract for several public works under the

Maharajah of ludore. Holkar's Mutinous troops,
joined by the disaffected regiments from Mhow,
after looting the treasury, proceeded on to Gwalior,
and will doubtless endeavour to make their way .to
Delhi. Holkar has remained firm in his adherence
to the British Government, and has not been pre-
vailed on to join the general insurrection. The
Bombay moveable column, under the command of
Brigadier Stuart, is advancing towards Indore, so
that we may soon hear of the restoration of tran-
quillity in Central India.
On the 9th July, Vie troops at Sealkote, in the
Punjaub, consisting of a wing of the 9th Light
Cavalry, and the 46th N. 1., broke out into open
mutiny, and after murdering several persons, and
doing all the injury in their power, in the destruc-
tion of houses and property, &c., left the station in
a body for the eastward, taking with them carriage!,
buggies, Sta. The persons ascertained to have been
killed are the following :—Capt. Bishop, 46th N. I.;
Dr. ,Graham, superintending surgeon ; Dr. Gra-
ham, medical storekeeper ; Rev. Mr. Hunter, wife
Ind child. Brigadier Brind has also been wounded.
All the others appear to be safe in the fort, includ-
ing the families of the drummers ; and of the ladies
and children who escaped, several were escorted to
the fort by Sepoys who remained faithful, or by
Sowars, who, after leaving them, returned to the 'wit
of the mutineers. Dr. and Mrs. Butler, who were
at first supposed to have been killed, have since
arrived at the Fort of Sealkote with their family,
also Mr. and Mrs. Saunders and their childr, n,
and 21 sick Europeans belonging to her Majesty's
52d Foot. The Sealkote mutineers, who took the
rou,e towards Delhi, managed to crossthe Ravee at a
ford near Trimmoo Puttun, early on the 12th
inst. They were attacked by Brigadier-General
Nicho!son, at noon, and after a brief struggle,
driven back across the river, leaving a quantity of
their baggage and plunder in our hands. Their
casualties are estimated at 200 in. killed and
wounded, and our loss at 6 men killed and 25

wounded.
From Ilyderabad (Deccan), the capital of the
Nizam's dominions, we learn that a serious rising
occurred in that city on the 18th July. About
4,000 budmasbes, led by 300 Rohillas, marched
upon the Residency to demand the release of
the Jemadar of the Ist gizam's Cavalry, who had
been caught and delivere 1 over to the Resident
by Salar Jung. Major Davidson acted with much
decision, and opened fire upon the rabble from
several guns, which caused them to disperse.
Several of the Rohillas and others were killed, and
many of them made prisoner's by the Nizam's mer-
eenaries. The leader of the Rohillas, who was
mortally wounded, 'was afterwards captured. The
sity has since remained quiet. To prevent any
tut ther outbreaks of the turbulent Rohillas, who are
eelieved to be ripe for sedition, the wing of the 12th
Lancers, stationed at Kirkee, has been ordered to
Hyderabad, and is now en route towards that espi-
al. A'fild force, consisting of several regiments
of the Hyderabad Contingent, under the command
of Major W. A. Orr, is being formed on the north-
ern frontier of the Nlizem's dominions, and will act
in conjunction with the Bombay moveable columns,
to put down revolt in Central India,
A plot was discovered on the 3)th June last to
create an insurrection at Nagpore, but throughthe
precautions taken by the authorities, it proved un- .
successful, and the ponspirators were brought to'
justice. Teree native officers, who were convicted
of mutiny, were hanged by sentence of court-mar-
tial. No disturbance has since taken place, and the
province is perfeetly tranquil.
The mutiny at Sanger, to which we alluded in
our last summery has been unatt nded with blood-
shed, the Europeans having secured themselves in
the fort before the outbreak occurred. Part of the
mutirious regiments also remained faithful, and
eided in repelling the assaults of their evil-disposed
comrades.
In the massacre at Jhansi, on the Bth June, most
of the European residents perished, the local Ma-
homedan authorities having, with the aid of the
mutinous sepeys, massacre! them with the usual
atrocities. There were 55 of them in all, including
time ladies and children, who were all ruthlesity
murdered.
The Punjaub still reina'ns tranquil, which is due
to the wise manaugemeut and prudent foresight of
Sir John Lawrence, tee Chief Commissioner, who
has-acted w.th consummate wisdom through these
troubleus times. The organisation of Sikh levies,
byth of horse and foot, is progressing favour-
ahly throughout the country, and General
Van Courtlandt's force is doing good service oa
'he frontiers of Rejpoetana. With the excep-
tion of the mutiny at Sealko:e, no outbreak of any
Consequence has occurred in the Punjaub. Thn
native pepuletiou 'of the large towns has been dis-
armed by order of the chief commissioner, a measure
which will greatly increase the public security.
Throughout the North-Western Provinc2S and
Upper. Bengal, murder, rapine, and spoliation are
the order of the day. We are c _instantly sickened
by the recital of tales of wholesale slaughter, in
w hich unoffending women and children have not been
spared by the fiendish monsters who sought their
lives. Those who are fortunate enough to ese :Lee h tve
of course Le'eu utterly runes, while many of the
weaker sex are perhape deprived of their natural
protectors, and must therefore be objects of pity
and commiseration. This feeling has shown itself
throughout the more favoured provinces 'of India,
which have been exempt from the fearful calami-
ties which have laid was's) this fair land,
and diets are accordingly made to rel.eve
the immediate wants of the unfortunate sufferoes.
Subscription Lets have been opened iu Cal
cutta, Madras, Bombay, Scinde, and the Punjeub,
and conlributions to the relief fund are rapidly
eccumulat:nsf, and will to fer warded to Calcut a acid
other par's, tied applie 1 to the humane purpose f
which they have been collected. In Bombay, all
classes have joined in the demonstration, ant the
natives seem to vie with their European brethren
iu subscribing towards this object. IWu have no
iouht that, when the extent of suffering cause 1 by
these mutinies beeomes generally, known in EUV.-
laud, the same sprit will animate the British pub-
lic, who will genc-ously come forward to assist
their unfortunate countrymen, and bereaved coun-
trywomen.
At Calcutta every thing is quiet, and confidence
is being rest2red by the arrival of the tioops des-
