LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1867.

The anxiously-looked for telegraphic intelligence
from India has duly come to hand. 16 is but a
matter of simple justice to the Government to state
that no time was lost on the present occasion in
relieving the very natural public anxiety, by
affording the earliest possible information to the
daily and other journals. The despatch was only
received at 5.26 p.m., and within a few minutes
after it was forwarded to our own and other offices
—and we can state for ourselves, that not only
wes it circulated in the Metropolis, by cur last
ea; tier, before seven clock, but it was transmitted
by post to our country subscribers in almost,
every district throughout the length and breadth
of the land. We beg for ourselves, and on the
pert of the community, to tender our best thanks
to the Earl Of CLARENDON for the prompt and
efficient means adopted to meet the national
wishe,. The steamer B )mbay arrived at Trieste
at 11 a.m. yesterday. Six-and-a-half hours were
therefore consumed before the Government re-
ceived the despatches forwarded by the consul.
This was unquestionably a great improvement on
the twenty-six hours lost after the arrival
of the last mail, but there is still too
much reason to believe that the Government
was again forestalled by private speculators ;
shortly after four o'clock some sales were effected,
and the market instantly gave way, and shortly
after a rumour prevailed that Delhi had not
fallen, that the mutiny had spread to seven
or eight other quait)rs, and that there was
great pressure in the Calcutta money market.
This, be it remembered, was some time before
either the Government or the East India
Company had received these despatches, and
from the general accuracy of the details it is clear
that the magical wires have again been tampered
with, and that undue influence has been at work
to promote the objects of private parties. This,
we hope, may be stringently inquired into, and
that adequate means may be adopted to give
Ministers the priority of intelligence to which
they are justly entitled.
The intelligence is of the usual chequered cha.-
racter—a mixture of good and bad. It is ascer-
tained beyond the possibility of doubt that Delhi
had not fallen, but that up to the 27th June it
remained in the hands i
of the nsurgents. The
accounts cf its capture, which
received partial
credence, have thus been completely removed, and
there can be no doubt that the effect has been to
a certain extent very injurious
Enelish inte-
rests. There is still a stronghold in the hands of
the rebels, which offers great encouragement to
the disaffected. On the other hand We find
that, although several desperate sorties had been
made, they were invariably repulsed with great
slaughter, and that the insurgents, even at their
very head-quarters, had no chance against the
loyal troops in a fair conte,t. Besides, it was
currently reported, and with much apparent
truth, that the rebel city was full of sick and
wounded, and that cholera extensively prevailed
within its walls. Considerable reinforcements
had also arrived, so that the hands of General
BARNARD were greatly strengthened, his force
consisting of from 7,000 to 8,000 Europeans
and about 5,000 native troops,whose
fidelity on
fidelity and good conduct implicit re-
liance might be placed. It is true that the
mutineers also received accessions of force ,
