It is raid that the mutineers in the city mustered a

against the bridge of boats at Delhi, for the destruction
of which we have offered a reward of 20,000 r. One ac-

another that the mutineers discovered th m, and man-

THE 26th REGIMENT AT MEAN MEER.
(From the Bombay Times.)
The disarmed 26th Regiment of Native Infantry
Mutinied at' Mean Meer on the 30th of July. Major
Spencer, who commanded the Regiment, immediately
Went into the lines, and for some time appears to have
succeeded in pacifying the men ; but he, with the
Quartermaster-sergeant, the Havildar Major, a Pay
liavillar, and some others, lost their lives in the vain
attempt to maintain order. The Mai or appears to have been
slain from behind, by blows dealt him with a hatchet. The
Mi.creants attempted to inveigle some other officers into
their lines, and Lieut. M. White had a most narrow
escape. Just as he was on the point of dismounting co
aid, as he imagined, his commanding officer, he was
warned by a Sepoy that he would be murdered, and got
away with difficulty, and with a blight scratch from a
Sword.
The mutineers fled rapidly to the eastward, across the
grand parade and got into the dense jungle without
being overtaken. About 30 of the mutineers were killed
by the Seikh and Punjabse battalion, and seven were
captured and summarily executed.
Parties of horsemen have been detached in purstait
frOm Laht•re and Umritsur, and Capt. T. Blagrave has
taken charge of one party from Lahore. Expresses
have been sent to secure all the ghats on the Stuiej and
Bean, and it is hoped that but few of the villains may
escape.
Contrary to all expectations, the 26th Mutineers, in-
stead of making for the ferries on the Seth j, are ascer-
tained to have gone up the left bank of the Rave°, which
they attempted to cross yesterday, after a march of nearly
forty miles. It is surmised that they are making for
the Jurumo terriro:ies, and if so, in probability, few
or none of them will escape capture. The hue and cry
has been raised, rewards have been offered, and there is
every reason to hope that the 26th will share the same
fete with the 9th Light Cavalry and the 46;h Native
Infantry mutineers.
Accounts were received yesterday afternoon from
Mr. F. Cooper, Deputy-Commissioner of Usnritser,
the almost total destruction of the 26th Regiment N.L.I.
They appeared to have pursued their flight without
ceasing, for a distance of 40 miles, up to the left bank of
the Ravee. which they in vain tried to cross opposite
Iljnala. On Mr. Cooper's reaching the place, :shout 4
p.m. of the 31st ultimo, he found that about 150 men
had been shot or drowned by his police, aided by the
villagers ; 160 were captured on the island in the river ;
35, were ounted_ drowning in trying to get off.
Numerous fugitives were brought in from all quar-
ters during the night ; 237 were summarily exe•
cuted yesterday, 41 died from fatigue, and about 21
more had been apprehended in neighbouring viileges.
In round numbers 500 men are thus accounted for.
If to these be adden the furlough and sick men, the
Bboejpore men, the Sikhs and Punjaubees, and some
guards which remained, the total strength of the whole
regiment is approximately given.
The conduct of Sahib Khan Tawana's horsemen and
of Teheeeldar Prem Nath Is highly commended by
Mr. F. Cooper, and Sirdar Pertab Singh Sindnawalla,
Sirdar Goolab Singh, General Hureookh Raie, Sirdar
Jodh Singh, and others, afforded cordial aid, while the
police and villagers have been most eager in hunting
down the mutineers, from whom they have taken about
I,ooor. and a number of nieda'p.
"It is fervently hoped that the signal and summary
punishment which has overtaken this corps may deter
all others from similar outbreaks, and from committing
the atrocious and wanton murders which have disgraced
the name of the Bengal Sepoy.
