DINAPOR3 AND

The folowing is a short account of the mutiny
at Dinapore on the 25th July :
On the arrival of a detachment of his Majesty's
87th at Dinapore ea route to Gliazeepore, the
gadier General took that opportunity of removing
from the magazine (which was most imprudently
built near the native lines) all the percussion caps
and nearly all the ball cartridges to the Artillery
barracks. Some sepoys. immediately cried out,
"They are removing our ammunition, stop it, and
kill the-officers." It is said the Assistant Adjutant
General on hearing this, ordered the guns to be
brought forward, but the order was almost imme-
diately countermanded ! Soon after the General
sent a message to the mutineers, at 6 or 7 a. m , th
if they did not deliver up peaceably by 4 p.m. the
ammunition, he would punish them. Thus the
mutineers had about nine hours time to arrange
their plans of attack, &c. It seems they spent that
time in filling their pouches with cal tridges, and in
sneaking off in mail numbers out of cantonments.
This move was not known till about half-past 2
o'clock, when signals were fired from the outpost
stationed in the European Hospital.
The alarm being so inded, the guns, six in num-
ber, ware out and found the Jacks Kati got a start
of a mile, after whom they sent some round shut,
which seems to have had no effect, for probably not
more than one of the rebels was iejured. Two com-
panies of mutineers took to baats with the inteetien
of calling in on the station of Bankipore and the
city of Patna, but their intentions were frustrated
by the execution_of the rifles of her Majesty's 37th
from shore and on board the steamer. The steamer's
guns likewise opened upon them, and not a soul of
those afl ;at lived to see Patna, though their corpses
must have passed the city in numbers. The rifle
practice was superb, almost every 1)411 knocking a
mutineer into the water. Those who kept to the
land b iltel in a south-westerly direction, and it is
suppesed they will skirt the river Soule, and cross
it at some distant point, and then push on for the
Grand Trunk Road, and try their luck at Buxar
and Ghazeepore.
The Brigadier General, when the cannonading
coalmen .ed, it is said, very prudent `y left the
station for the steamer, and the cantonment was
finder no command ; every offiaer acted indepen-
dently and to the best of his judgment, and conse.
quently maters were at sixes and sevens. It is
fortunate for us that the Sepoye were such arran,
cowards, for had they made a stand thece was no
one•te give the necessary orders, and the canton-
ments and the whole province of Behar would have
been at the mercy of the mutineers.
It is not improbable the Mutineers may revisit
uS as the Bukreed is not far off; the question now
asked is, who is to command our defensive opera-
tions.

- Fears are now entertained for the residents of
Mozuffexpore and Chupra, as also of Bhaugulpore,
Where the sth Irregulars are shaky. We rr.m.,t
have more Europeans at Paena-80 men and two
guns are now here.
26th J uly. —Troops mutin led yes'erday, the 25th,
the 7th, Bth, and 40th. Troops were out in a mo-
ment together with the Fusiliers (the 37th, I be-
lieve, from the Hoorungetta) joining; artillery
were brought in position, but a'l this served only
to disperse them. • -A company of soldiers and the
civilians peppered into them as they tried to escape
in boats, the steamer running the boats down, ihe
Men crying out, "Dhoy Company ka, dhore
Kba-
min ka."
The James Hume gone up with 50 Europeans
and a portion of the sth Fusiliers, to in.tereept,
them on the Soane river en. route to Arrah, whither
they have directed their course.
100, more or liy;s, of the 40th still staunch, in-
cluding the Band bop.
lho 7th and Bth have carried their colours with
them, beating the big drum as they welt.
We arrived here about a couple of hours ago
—very opportunely, for all the native regiments
mutinied yesterday and fled It- seems it was in
contempla ion to parade and disarm them last even-
ing, and as a preparatory measure it was proposed
to take away all their gun-caps. The ammunition
cuts were sent down to their lines, and the 4'Att
gave up their ceps, the others resisted. Upon this
the Europeans (10th and 37th) awl artillery turned
out, but they 'hard scarcely time to approach the
mutineers, who were drawe up in line, when the
later fled en masse. A lot of them made for the
river, and got in•o boats, but the L:i.cly Thaekwell,
which is lying here, steamed up, and sunk five ;
'party of them then jumped into th t water, and
floating down the stream, got across -the river.
The main b edy, however, are in the country, about
four rni'es from this, and aro said to meditate a de
scent on Patna and Gya.
The Lady Th Ickwell is lying hPro, with artillery-
men and guns on bean'. The Elorungotta is lyieg
dowi at Pa 11:I.
The greater portion of the mutineers have made
off with thifie arms and ten roan is of ammunition
6ach, but only enough caps to dis.dearge ;hese.
We do not knotv whether this vessel, or-the de-
ta•lment she caries will be detained here or no
The comina.iding officer has gene ashere-to repeeb
his arrival. Tee Lsdv Tha3kivell is ju,t cll. on her
upward trip with artillery..
We have since heard that they threw awAy the
greater part of their arms, which have he n picked
up. At half-past six the Luly Tintekwell arrived,
and iminediately lauded Major Eyre and h's men,
with four guns.
The Jainis Hume, with her Majesty's 'sth Fusi
Tiers, got to the Dinapore Ghaut at lull-past ten
on the 26th, so that there would be more men et
the station to defend it.

The consequences of letting the mu ineeri
away armed, willbe seen by the Idlowing extiacs

of le!ters from Dina.pore, dated 27th Jury :--
I have just escaped with my family from Arrah.
We were oblige 1 to bs off just as we wore, not
having time to take a change of clothing. I do ii
know the °tact part:cuhrs, but I believe they triA
to disarm the sepeye, but went about it s) clemsi y
that they ad escaped. The blackguards fired
everything on both sides of the Slane. .Burg and
Co.'s bungalow at Sirdasapore wis looted, flint.
lamgalow at D ionaree Nulla is burnt down, and
their house' at Arrah used as barracks by the
rebels. The Soaee works and bungalows were
blazing befere I left Arrah. Mr. 800 or the raa-
aiAtrate sent a message that I ought not to lose a
,
moment in looking for a safe place, The Arrah
people proposed to defend tbemselvei in Mr.
Boyle's fortification. If they have done so I hope
for the best but dread the worst ; what could a
handful of Europeans do with hundreds of lawless
soldiers and savage convicts from the Arrall jail ?
29th Jnly.—l wrote you on Monday last, stat-
ing my escape feom Arrah. Since then others have
coin° in from th,:re; they had difficulty in escaping.
The plunder did not commence till 10 a.m.. and I
believe the villagers began the work. We h tve no
news as yet as to whether the Eurciecans cooped up
in Mr. Boyle's fortification are in existence or not.
It is reported that Coomer 6ing had joined th-?.
sepoys, an l that yesterday they were driving a
mine under the Bungalow, Cormier Sing having
given them some powder. To make a bad mater
worse, the steamer Horungotta and flat sent off
yesterday to the relief of Arrah, stuck on a bank
within sight of Dinspore, and nothing could be
done till the Bombay was stopped last night o 3
the down trip, with 150 additional troops, sent ap
this morning, wirer', I believe, the Bombay took tie
iforaingotta s flat in tow, and I hope the doomed
baud in Arrah may be relieved some time during
the night or to morrow morning, that is, if by
some extriordinary circumstance they may b.., is -11
in existence. Planters came in last night ; the
entire country from the Slane-to Busar is in the
hands of lawless bands of plundering blackguards,
and until an European force, sufficient to overawe
tine district, is placel in Arrah, it is impossible with
safety to eater it ; both steamer andflat are full of
refugees. • S ants people went in boats yesterday to
see the extent of the conflagration ; the ruin is
mist complete. A heap of coal on the west side
of the • Soane, about 160,000 maunds, on fire in
several paces.
The Bombay steamer left this yesterday morn-
ing- wi h only 150 of the 10th, as she could net take
more on board, under the command of Capt. Dun-
bar, and n:t Col. Fenwick, as was first intended.
There is a great panic at Moozufferpoore, Tirhoot
(an 1 riot without cause). Th 3 Europeans have got
to-tether to make the best possible defence, should

any rise take place, since Dinapore is not .in a po-

sition to send them help. The above 150 with
250 g-me up by the Horungotta, must be at Ar-
rah before this, 2 p.m., but as yet we h ive no news
from them. There is a report; that Cnotner Sang
has joined the mutineers. I have just learned that
the ladies from Moozafferpore, Tirhoot!, have just
come in. Neither the Allen nor Benires steamers
froni Calcutta has yet arrived.
Tne authorities of Patna are still arresting con-
spirators, mutineers, anti rebels, and tney will have
enough to do in trying them.
Cawnpore news of the 19th had reached Dinapore
on the 22,.1 that Bittour had heen
We have received the following par steamer
James Flume, dated 29th July :
The Ceininissleiter on the 22i1 inst. tried four

to pay them a vis.t. Being toe only two Euro-
p,ans left there, they did not th:nk it advisable to

A consultatien was now held to decide upon a
- return to Chupra, for the purpose of saving the
t, e :sure left there, amounting -to a out 50,000
Rupees. A patty. of 30 men and 2 officers of the
sth Fusiliers on board w-re permitted by the otli
cer in command to accompany the- officials for this
purpose, upon condition that they were t) return
early next morning, so as not to delay the progress
of the 'steamer to Buxar.
On anchoring at Doreegunge, this little force
started in native boats with a fair wind. The expe-
dition entailed some daege:-, as i was consid red
p .obAblo that the .Nuje b and a few Irre-
gulars at Chnpra, might be found_ to have
lo ted the place and released the 500 prisoners.
The party arrived safely at 12.30 in the night,
everything being in statu quo ; t tey were hospi-
tably entertainer by the collector.- The treasure
wa.g packed ill a few hours, and the whole party
were back to the steamer at eight o'clock in the
-morning. They marched on their return, finding
the progress down toe nulah in boats very slow ;
the 15 Seikhs in advance, the treasure on coolies in
the middle, and the men of the sth under 'tona-
1-nand of Captain Scott, in the rear. The Euro-
peans were all in high-spirits at the SUCCe,S3 of their
midnigir, excursion, and only sorry that there had
been no oceasiou to display the capacity of their
Ena,lit,
-We are now approaching Buxar, and hope to be
there before the insurgents, who may perhaps have
ahandened their intention of visiting Chopra, on:
hearing that the-treasure had been reinovel. The
officers and men of the sth only hope they will
have a chance of encouotering some of the sepoys,
when they -will no doubt be able to give a good
accoant of then.
Jnly 30.—We reached Bitxnr last evening, and
found everything quiet. Daring the night the
Lady Tnackwoll arrived with the ar illery ; they
had gone as far as Guazeepore, hut, were sent b sek
by the autitoiities there, with 25 of the High-
landers, with instructions to laud at Buxar, and
endeavour to Check the progress of the mutineers
in this dit-ecti in. Major V. Eyre is comity-int of-
, the artillery at once asked the co-operation of the
detachment on. beard this vessel, and an expedition
to Atratt has hen organised, consisitig of 150 of
the sth Fusiliers and 3 guns. They le we Buxar
this evening. The rebels era reported to be within
20 miles of Buccal.. The Rajah of the litter place
has jone to join them wi-h a lot, of gunpowder and
other ammuni,ion, leaving wart with the villagers
to bolt out and have provisioes ready againsAhe
arrival of the mutineers. God knows what the
fate of the unfortunate people at Aaatali has beau.
I fear this expedi ion from Buxar will be too late
to save them. This st-am,?,r (without the flat) is
now on her way to Dinaptye with despa ties to
the authorities frvre, announcing the measures
that have been taken, and requesing the co ope-
ration of a force from. there to bear on the insur-
gents.

Here we ars going dawn at the rate of 20 miles
an hour, and we hope to reach Dinapore by t .vo
Should we see any of tits rebels on the
bank, they wilt get a taate of our guns', rifle 7, &e.
Yesterday we paaaed the 23th N.T. in boats a
couple of miles, below B ixa.r. A proposal was
male by the officer in command of the detachment
. of oft Fusiii,rs to disarm those :•ep )ys, but this
measure was obj,Tted to by the other commanding
them, so it was not camel out. They soled up
past Buxtr last evening, and may reach Ghazee-
pre to-night or to-tnorrow. S'iould he ;e two re-
giments hatch a mutiny between -hem, and ma- •
na,;e to effect a junction with tin Dmapor.l lot,
they will in,;ste.• more th 3,003 discip' ine t troops,
exclusive of Keowar Seid's followers ; he is said to
have collecte.l about 5,000 iu Arrah, bilt these can
only be rabble, I fancy. It is to be hoped they
will not be able io cut off our communication
between Allahabad and Calcutta.
DINAPORE, 6 P.M., 30th.—We have ju.:t arrived,
and have learnt very sad news. It, seetne a force-

knowing whethbr they woull b k 11'ng fronds or

peatedly fired into by t!te enemy, who were
acquainted with their whereabouts. As morning
dawned they found themselves terribly reduced in

.to assume the offensive, began a retre it. Alt''oigh
