Miners, officered by commissioned and -non-c•int-

towards ICurnaul with three European regi-

failed, it is said, in inducing the neighbouring rajahs
to join them. They are reported to oe fighting among

The rioters broke into his house in the city; searched
every nook and corner for him, and burnt down the
premises. None of us, I believe, are destitute of
profound and heartfelt thankfulness to Almighty
God for our great-, deliverance. Ou hearts, however,
are bleed ng for the loss (limier circumstances -of
frightful and unparalleled atrocity) of so many
of oer dear and unfortunate countrymen. The
soldiers especially are burning to inflict summary
punishment on these brutal murderers of unarmed
men, defenceless women, and innocent children.
Martial law has been proclaimed in the district be

the rescue of the 85 prisoners by their comrades,.
The gaol was burnt, and 1,400 other convicts libe-
rated. The fettered mutineers proceeded to the
compound of Captain Galloway, of the 3d Light
Cavalry, and compelled his blacksmith to remove
their chains. The Delhi magazine was defended
for some time by certain Europeans, but at 3 p.m.
on the 12th inst., when the insurgents had sue
ceeded in effecting an entrance, the place was blown
up with a terrific explosion by Lieut. G.'D. Wil-
loughby, Commissary of Ordnance, destroying: it
is thought, some 1,000 of the rebels. That gallant
officer escaped for the time to • the main guard.
His fate at present remains uncertain, though but
little hope is entertained of his safety. Not a
single European or native Christian is left alive
in Delhi or the neighbourhood.' The offibeis and s
overseers of the Hai'pper stud, with their mins
and families, escaped on the evening of the 13th
inst., and reached Merut the following morning
without molestation. There names are as follow :
Captain and Mrs. D'Oyley and Captain and Mrs.
Parrott, with their respective families • Mr. R. B.
Parry, Vetirinary Surgeon ; Mr. R. W. Macaulay,
Assistant-Surgeon, with all the European residents
and their families ; Lieutenant J. J. Eckford, of
the 6th Native Infantry, holding an Engineer ap-
pointment at, Meiiut, defended his treasury against
the mob for a considerable time, his wife and family
hiding in the garden. The house at last was set on
fire, and Mr. - Eckford severely wounded on the left
temple. .He remained insensible for a considerable
time (after destroying several of his assailants)
wh'le the.premises.were in flames, but miraculously
escaped, after some hours, with his wife, child, and
sister-in-law. He is now out of danger on account
of his wound. The native servants throughout the
station, with scarcely an exception, have behaved
admirably. •
