at a most unfortunate time. We must, however,
submit patiently to the will of the Deity.
We alluded yesterday to the heavy loss sus-
'ained by a detachment from the 10th and 37th
Regiments, at Arrah, whither it had gone to
rescue some Europeans who were besieged by the
rebels. The War Office telegram, published yes-
'erday afternoon, refers to this with greater par-
ticularity. It states that " a detachment of her
11.A.TESTY'S 10th and 37th Regiments, 300 strong,
had made a night attack upon the men of the Bth
and 40th Native Infantry, who had mutinied at
Dinapore, but was repulsed, with the lose of 200
killed." This was, indeed, a deplorable trans-
action. The 10th had acted nobly during the
Jutbreak at Dinapore. They preserved the
station from the savage assault of the mutineers,
4nd had executed summary justice on them,
having shot down 800 of their number, not in
;old blood, but while the mutiny was taking
glace. Other accounts mention the 200 as
"killed and wounded." We may hope, there-
fore, that the Government may have erroneous'y
Increased the extent of the calamity.
The Irregular Corps at Segowlie had also
mutinied and killed their officers. A plot, too,
had been discovered for the wholesale murder of
the Europeans at Jessore and Benares. The
Shekawatti battalion was wavering, but had not
yet been disarmed—a necessary precaution, which
had been wisely adopted at Berhampore with
respect to the 63d Native Infantry and 11th
Irregular Cavalry, and at Calcutta with the
Governor-General's body guard men who
had every reason to remain true to their
',lours. The approaching Mohurrum (a great
Mahomedan festival) had excited c3nside-
rable uneasiness. It was felt, after the whole-
sale secessions that had taken place, it would
be unwise to permit a body of high caste
troops to remain in possession of weapons. They
were accordingly disarmed, but were permitted
to retain their horses. Berhampore is, as we
stated yesterday, within nine miles of Moorsheda-
bad, the Rajah of which, a pensioner for 120,0007.,
or 12 lass of rupees, was strongly suspected as an
instigator of the rebellion—indeed, one of the
chief conspirators. It would not have been safe
to permit men, of whose 'fidelity the slightest sus-
picion could be entertained, to retain their arms.
Martial law, too, has been proclaimed in Behar,
and Gen. OUTRAM had been given the command of
the Dinapore and Ca wnpore divisions. At Jhelum
summary justice was executed on the 14th Ben-
gal Infantry, who had resisted an order to dis-
arm. They were attacked and cut to pieces by
detachment of Europeans.

It was reported that there had been severe
totions with the rebels at Agra and Azimghur.
Phis is probable, as the Government telegra -u
states that "at Agra the Krok Contingent, and
,they rebels had been entirely dispersed." This is
is indeed &leering intelligeence. It is the re-
deeming feature in the account, the ray of light
sparkling through the general darkness. We
know not!, however, whether the victory was
rained by the garrison, or by other troops.
'There was a report at Ceylon to the
effect that the British troops had been
compelled to raise the siege of
and to retire on Agra, in consequence of the
severity of the cholera. It was, however, whol.y
uncorroborated and cannot therefore be credited.
ft was also rumoured that General REED was dead.
We trust, however, that this is also without
foundation, and that the gallant general may re-
3over from the severe malady by which he was
attacked, and which compelled him to surrender
the chief command of the British troops before
Delhi.

It is cheering to observe that the sympathy
which must have naturally been excited among
all classes of the community at home for the
sufferers—victims of atrocious treachery, among
our countrymen in the distant E tst, is daily as-
suming a more active and practical form. The
meetings which have been held in various im-
portant cities and towns of the kingdom have
been, each and all, signalised by a fervency and
unanimity of feeling, that will in a great measure
tend to soothe the afflictions of the recipients of
the kindness of their benefactors, and which prove
that Englishmen are ready and anxious to discharge
the duties of humanity, alike as those of patri-
otism, and energy in the field. The subscription
sum, and contribu-
swell the amount.

burst and
those, who were residing in
upaogngravated
itheiwide domains of our Eastern empire, in all the
plenitude of supposed security, if unparallelled in
their intensity, are at the same time such as to
strike home to every heart in our domestic bul-
wark, calling for the prompt display of succour to
the bereaved, whilst the energies of our adminis-
trators are being devoted to the righteous avenge-
meat of their cruel wrongs. With the exception
)f a small knot of crack-brainel mouthers in the
Sieber Isle, who seem zealous aspirants for the
distinction of the strait-waistc3at, there is but on )
voice heard among us. " Remember the lidies,
remember the babies," is the cry of our gallan
soldiers, who will yet make Asia ring with their
vengeance on the beleaguered fiends of Delhi. The
same is the watchword amongst us, of whatsoever
class or condition, in the happy homes of Eng- I
land.

In this labour of love, most mournful from the
oircumstances of its origin, yet a most grateful
spectacle to the civilised world of our sterling
sympathy, not alone in words, bat deeds, with
those sorely stricken members of the British
family, a prominent part has been undertaken by
the municipalities of England. The L)rd Mayor
of London, worthily exercising his high influence
in furtherance of the objects of the cause,
is commendably supported by those who
preside over the other leading corpo-
. rations of the country ; and, in our marts of
commerce, those merchants princes and iadtli-
trious citizens, who so largely contribute to the
national wealth and greatues., evince a 1 tudab:e
emulation in swelling the sum of the elm-it able
fund. In the metropolis, where, of course, the
argent degree of
pecuniary ail may bo looked f.)r,
the cause of the Indian sufferers seems daily to
acquire fresh tokens of aid. It is with much
pleasure that we record the befitting generosity
of the members of the Court of Common Council,
who received with unanimous approbation the no•
trice of a motion handed in at their meeting yester-
day by Mr. Rowe-_" That this Court, regarding
with strong feelings of abhorrence the savage
' cruelties inflicted upon our fellow-couutrymea,
women, and children, by the native troops of the
Bengal army, and deeply sympathising with the
helpless sufferers now reduced to a state of utter
destitution, is most desirous of aiding the
efforts for promptly relieving their necessities,
and directs the Chamberlain to contribute the
sum of 500/. in aid of the funds now being raised
in this country for that purpose." This will,
if such were needed, give an additional impetus
to the career of benefaction, for the example of

London exorcises a strong national influence.
We are well awaze that there are some professing I
friends who are not so very profoundly affected
with distress at the fiery ordeal to which the
British in India have been subjected. We need
not cast our eyes farther than the dominions of
" Uncle LEOPOLD," to see how easily such
croakers—and inward crowers—as the Inde-
pendance Beige may be found to dissemi-
nate ill-omened falsities, throw discredit on
good news, and insinuate tidings of disaster
and dismay. But, on the other side, we find
the hand of fellowship extended us from generous
sympathisers. The Emperor NAPOLEON has been
surpassed by none in the munificence of his con-
tribution to the relief of the Indian sufferers. The
Imperial Guard of France have transmitted
a donation equaling that which has been
found to proceed from any German quarter.
But it is on ourselves that we are to place main
reliance for the double work of duty—of adminis-
tering speedy and competent relief to those whose
wounds of affliction are still bleeding—and of
exacting vengeance for the blood inhumanly shed
by remorseless traitors. England has a long purse
and a strong arm, nor need we apprehend the
failure of the one in beneficence, any more than
that the other will be found wanting in the hour
of need.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY

MEETING THIS DA.Y-RETIREMENT OF SIR
M. PETO.

The 27th half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in
this railway was held this afternoon at Easton-square
station, Sir M. Peto, chairman of the board of directors,
in the chair.

The report and statement of accounts, which have been
already published in the Sun, were taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN said that ho believed the report and
accounts contained everything required in the shape of
information so fully that it left him nothing to say in
elucidation of them, and he expressed his readiness to
answer fully any questions the meeting might bs pleased
to put to him, There was, however, one sulject of im-
portance to which he might refer, viz., the improved
communication with Ireland by the mail contract, which
involved no fresh liability. He had always considered
this a sul•jeot of great importance, and as the sub-
arrangements with the London and North-Western and
the City of Dublin Railway Company, when car-
ried out, would materially affect their interest, a special
meeting would be called to enable the shareholders to
express their opinion thereon. He announced that the
position of the railway was such that in March next he
should ask them to relieve him from the position he then
occupied. He also stated that Mr. Jackson, who Cad
been induced by him to remain in the directory till
they were out of their difficulties, would also retire
at the same time. He had made that statement
to give the shareholders an opportunity of ex-
pres,ing an opinion thereon, and of naming
their successors. Any recommendation or nomination
by the shareholders would receive the attention of the
rediainiog members of the board and in all probability
be acted on by them.
Mr. JACKSON, M.P., remarked that the two vacancies
now announced woul I be out of the ordinary routine,
and therefore there would be four vacancies to fill up in
Marsh next, instead of two. He (Mr. Jackson)
had long wished to retire from the Board,
and the line being now in a prosperous state he
thought he could do so without injury to the concern.
A discussion ensued on the accounts, and the position
of the line, in the course of which

Mr. JACKSON said that no man had done more than
Sir M. Peto for the benefit of the line; His successor,
whoever he may be, would have a much easier post.

Hon. 0. STANLEY, M.P., said that he felt certain that
Sir M. Peto's loss would not be easily supplied. (Hear.)
Mr. LEWIS said he regretted to hear it was the inten-
tion of Sir M. Peto to retire, for it Nia3 entirely owing to
his name and position that they had been enabled to
overcome their great difficultiee. The state of the com-
pany was not satisfactory, but they must consider their
position when S.r M. Peto took the chair. He thought
all must acknoa.l,dge that he bad greatly improved the
concern, and as a company they ought to feel indebted
to him for the time he bad given to put the company in
its present improved position. (Cheers.)
Several shareboldera expressed regret at the proposed
retirement of the chairman, and expressed a hope that
he and Mr. Jackson would re-consider their decisions
and remain a short time longer on tho directory. The
Board appeared t ) work harmonionsly, which was very
desirable when they considered the important matters
to bs considered between the London and North
Western Company and the Chester and Holyhead
Railway.
Mr. BENSON, deputy chairman of the London and
North Western Railway said that the interests of the
two lines were identical and that the matters referred
to might be easily arranged.
Hen. 0. STANLEY, M.P., denied that the interest of
the two lines were identical.
Mr. Luwis moved a rescletion, expressing extreme
regret at the intimation of Sir M. Peto and Mr. Jackson
that they intended to retire from the direction in March
next, and earnestly requested them to reconsider those
decisions and continue their valuable services to the
company for a short time longer.
The motion having been seconded, it was carried with
but two dissentients.

Sir NI. Piero said that he felt honoured by that addi-
tional mark of respect for bin]. For a long time he had
entertained an anxious desire to leave the board, but he,
felt he could not honourably do so until their affairs
were in such a position that he c3uld leave with honour
and satisfaction to all. Being able to announce that
their assets exceeded their liabilities, he thought no dif-
ficulties would arise from his leaving the cbAir,
and that his successor would be able to con-
duct the affairs of the company to their entire
satisfaction. When he first took the chair they
were many hundred thousand pounds in debt, and there
were 300,0001. worth of overdue debentures which he
had to give his personal security to the extent of a quar-
ter of a million to get renewed. (Cheers.) He had
worked 'laid and had brought the concern not only out
of its difficulties, but had placed it in a position to pay
a dividend on its preference stock. (Hear.) He thought
therefore that the time had now arrived when he could
leave it with honour and pleasurable feelings. He
should however be at all times ready to give his assist,
ance to the board, but he fac he could no longer remain
in the directory.

Mr. JAcKSoN said, lie had wished to retire from the
direction, but if the shareholders thought he could con-
tinue to be of assistance to ',them, be would waive his
own feelings and remain to serve them, (Elear.)
The report was then received and adopted.
A dividend was declared at the rate of .5i per cent.
out of first prefereuce stock, and a payment of 6,3771.
17s. 61. on account of arrears of dividend on the second
preference stock.

A vote of tbanko to the chairman and board of
directors terminated the proceedings.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENINV.

A telegraphic despatch winch reached Paris yes-
terday from Constantinople announces that Atoned
Fethi Pacha, Grand Master of the Artillery, has
been replaced by Barbazouf Pasha. Ahmed Fethi
Paella, who is brother-iu•lavv of the Sultan, is

able influence over his Majesty, Abdul Medjid.
The Moniteur says :—" It has been rumoured
by error that the agens-de-chaogo would not nego-
tiate nominative securities. The agens-de-change
cannot have had the idea of refusing their agency
in the negotiston of securities recognised by the
law of the 23d June, 1857. These securities
be admitted to the various modes of negotiation,
exactly as securities to bearer."
The Duke of Cambridge landed yesterday at
Calais, accompanied by Lord Burgher:4i and two
