COMMERCIAL.

The tone of our import market loka rather im-
proved in some articles, though not generally ; the
business transacted dining the fortnight has DOI".
been to any greater extent than last reported. A
further improvement in the money market is to be
noticed, the banks having again loivered their
rates of interest one per cent, all round ; no im-
provement in Government securities ; and foigh's
have slightly declined.

(FROM THE CORRESPONDENT OF THE DAILY NEWS
BOMBAY, SEPT. 1.

Letters from Delhi, dated Aug. 12, state that
the battle of that day was the best that has
taken place before the city. During the night
and the morning of the 13th, several unsucce3s-
ful attacks were made on our picquuts.
General Cortlandt was at Halal on the 7th of
Aug., and would have to engage a large body of
insurgents of the 4th and 9th Native luf.ntry
and 14th Irregulars and Hurriana Contingent
Infantry, strongly. entrenched, 14 miles south-
west of Hansi, in the Ranghur village of Jumul-
p oor.
All well .at Agra up to the 11th inst. Latest
news from Calcutta of the 12th. The Native
Artillery at Darn
.Durn has all been disarmed.
All the steamers from Calcutta to Suez have been
prepared for the reception of troops, in the event
of such coming overland.
From the South Mahratta country I hear that
the Raja of Akulkote, a short distance from Sho-
lepore, has raised the standard of reb=llion, and
has already 20,000 men at his back. If ais
turn out true, we shal have heavy work to do
in that quarter, as at this point and on the line
between it and Beezapore all the malcontents of
the Nizam'S territory will rally.

GEN. HAVELOCK'S OPERATIONS.
BATTLE OF ROSSER-UT GUNGE.
The folowing is a copy of General _Haveloch's
despatch, describing his operations against the
enemy on the 29th July :
" Camp, Busserut Gunge, July 30, 1857.
" I marelvd yesterday and came up with the

enemy at Oonas. The town was flanked by es
extensive swamp, and the position defended by 15
guns. The inundation prevented any turning move-
ment, and I attacked the place, captured all the
guns, and put the enemy to flight. The troops from
Lacknow in our front were aided by a cAmiderable
detachment of the Nana's force from Futtelipore
Chowrassee which was on our left flank, commanded
by Jussa Sing. I halted four hours in the extreme
'eat of the day, and then marched on this town,
which is also surrounded by water. Four pieces of
annou were mounted on its old-fashioned gates
led towers. The road at the entrance of the town
ad been destroyed and the gate strongly bark i-
aded. I had no sappers, so after a cannonade
[ a saulted and took the place with all its guns.
Eire enemy will not await any close contact with
ary troops, excepting behind wall. Their lose
this day has on that account been heavier than
u-ual ; mine al,o is severe-88 killed and wounded.
" At Oonas the 6oldier most distinguished was
private Patrick Cavanagh, H M.'s 134th Regiment.
ITo was cut to pieces'by the enemy while showing
a brilliant example to his comrades. Had he sur-
vived., I should have recommended him for the
Victoria Cross. I trust a grateful Government
ill pension his relations.
"Die Madras Fusiliers were particularly distin-
guished. Major Stevenson selects Lieut. Danger-
field as most conspicuous. He was the first on the
barricade at this place. Lieut. Bogle of the 78th
Highlanders was severely wounded whilst leading
the way at Oonas into a loopholed house filled with
desperate fanatics. I would desire that he should
be specially recommended to his Royal Highness the
Genet al Commanding in Chief.

"My staffgave me glorious support. Col. Tytho,
hardly able to sit upon his hone from indisposition,
iet an example to the whole force for activity and
daring. Lieut. Havelock, Deputy Assistant Adju"
taut General, had a horse shot under him ; and raY
acting aide-de camp, Lieut. Seton, Madras Fusl"
Tiers, was severely wounded.

" I have captured an entire field battery of guns ;
but without cavalry, I cannot secure horses or

equipments.
"1 must not overlook my Volunteers, who fit"
prove, however, every day.
(Signed) "H. HAVELOCK, Brigadier-Gen."
Our correspondent goes on to say fiat there was
~.ne officer killed, Lieut. Richardson, of the Madras
,Fusiliers. The killed of the 78th Highland,rs are
Sergeant Mark Mallet, and Privates Francis Burns,
Hennesy, and Morris. Wounded—Lieut. Bogle,
severely in the arm, and Privates Connell, Henson'
Johnston, Gavison, redden, Halliday, Whiteman.
tn d Greig, and Corporal Sparrow. The guns takell
were those described in Gen. Havelock's telegram to
the Governor-General, in another place.—Po°l6
Observer, Aug. 15.

The Poonah Observer publishes the following ill'
t rlligence, in an extra dated the 17th inst.:—" .41!
.fficer at this station has kindly furnished us with
the news that two officers and two men of the he-
roic garrison' of Cawnpore have been recovered.
The names of the two officers are Lieutenants
rhoms.m. and Delafoise, of the 53d Bengal Na't°
Infantry ; the men's names are not mentioned.
We (Poonah Observer) have been very kindly
favoured with the perusalof a latter from Cawnpore,
dated so late as thA3th inst., from which we learn
that General H avelock, after having had a severs

two guns, with some loss on our side, crossed the
Ganges on the morning of the 13th, and returned
o Cawnpore, where he will await the arrival of re-
inforcements. The following is an extract fru°
this letter, which is written by a gallant non-coin'
inissioned officer of the brava 78th Highlandergt
who has been present in every action which the re'
bell fought by General Havelock :
"Here I am again safe and sound at Cawnpore, after
a most severe fight yesterday with our old enemies the
sepoy mut neers, in which we had three men killed and
10 wounded ;—one young man had his leg blown awe*:
Mere were only 120 of the 78th Highlanders preiell't,
the remainder being sick. Our whole force consisted 01
800 teen, including the Sikhs. A great many fellowers
were cut to pieces by the enemy's cavalry and round silt
toere were two guns playing on the 7814 which would
no doubt have destroyed every man of us but for our
timely resolution—a desperate one, no doubt, but it had
to be done, or all would have perished beneath the
leadly fire. General Havelock was calmly looking on
he knew well abet we desired ; and before he gave the
order to advance all rushed forward at the charge, and
in less than five minutes captured two guns and four
h uses, bayoneting a number of the enemy who tried tc!
save the guns (two brass nine-pounder.). General
Havelock rode up atter us, crying cut, Well done brave
Highlanders ! You have this day saved yourselves sod.
