LOXDON, TUESDAY, DEC. 8, 1857.

Another telegram, respecting the affairs of
India, was received at 6.35 last evening at the
Foreign-office from Lord LYONS. It purports to
contain the political intelligence received at
Suez, per Oriental, on the 28th of November.
It will, however, be seen from the Parliamentmy
intelligence that Lord PALMERSTON did not attach
much importance to the tidings. He said, "the
news did not come by the ordinary fortnightly
mail, but by a vessel vhich left Calcutta a week
later than the last accounts ;" adding, " I cannot
help suspecting that it is a re-echo of what we had
before." Indeed it gives but little additional
information, and that seems to have been collected,
not from authentic documents, but from floating
rumours current among the recently arrived pas-
sengers.

The statements would be of a chequered cha-
racter if they were anything beyond a rechauffe
of those communicated by the last regular mail.
They were mainly to the effect that "two convoys
of provisions had arrived safely at Lucknow, where
Tia-vnocx was still surrounded by large numbers
of be enemy, who were said to have 300 guns ;
that there 11%,z1 been some severe fighting, and that
General Ourp.Aaa was reported to be wounded."
Now we had quit 3 sufficient to warrant all this
before, The last authentic accounts spoke cf
25Q wen having succeeded in reaching Lucknow
will provision?, while the rebel 4 were occupied in
entrenching themselves. This may
be easily
magnified by rumour into two convoys
with
pre-
visions. It was also said that comali.
11:11CAIOT, S
had been interrupted between HAVELOCK- and
OUTRAN, and that there was a report that the
latter was wounded. We also
heard that Sir
Corr CAMPBELL and staff had left, or was about
to leive, Calcutta, and our knowledge is but little
imP;eved by the name of the place, " Nam moor,"
from, Which he is said to have started for Ca wnpore.
It would puzzle the most eminent member of the
Geographical Society to discover the locality of
that terra incognita, which probably exists only
