A Supplement to the Fort St. George Gazette of
the 17t1i July publishes the following address to
Lord Harris, Governor of Fort St. George, from
the Hindoo and Mahomedan inhabitants of Madras.
Some hundred signatures are affixed to it
"To the Right Hon. Lord Harris, Governor of

Fc rt Saint George.
" My Lord,—We the Hindoo and Mahomedan
inhabitants of Madras, beg to address your lordship
in Council at the present critical juncture of affairs
in Bengal and the North West, where the Bengal
Army has added to tb e guilt of mutiny and rebellion
the unprovoked and indiscriminate murder of many
of their officers, and, still worse, of a great number
of defenceless European women and children • we
want words strong enough to convey the feeling;
which are inspired by the frightful atrocities that
have been committed. Their crimes admit of no
palliation, misguided though they may have been
t hroughthe secret misrepresentations of evil-minded
men ; but we have the fullest confidence that the
alarm occasioned among- the Bengal soldiery by
the introduction of the new cartridges originated
solely in a delusion so far as the intentions of Go-
vernment are concerned, and that neither an in-
fringement of the laws of caste, nor an outrage to
religious feelings had ever for one moment been
contemplated, and we earnestly trust that the
might of the British Government will be put forth,
until all who eitheractively took port in or abetted
the unheard-of barbarities of the revolted troops
have been subjected to the condign punishment of
the State.

" While we thus assure your lordship in Council
of our loyalty -towards, and deep sympathy with,
the British Government, and with the relatives
and friends of all who have fallen victims to those
bloodthirsty and misguided men, we would crave
leave to congratulate your lordship on the UTI shaken
fidelityof the army of Madras and the perfect tran-
quility that reigns throughout this Presidency. We
rejoice to think, also, that the same state of affairs
exists in the neighbouring Presidency of Bombay.
" In conclusion, we beg to express our entire c )n-
-viction that the overthrow of the British power in
India would be the greatest calamity that could fill
upon the natives and while we regard with pride the
loyal servics of the various native princes and chiefs
in alliance with the British Government, and the
alacrity with which they have assisted to crash re-
bellion, we beg to assure your lordship in Council
that you may unhesitatingly rely on the allegiance
of the natives of this Presidency, and we shall make
it our special business to spread the knowledge of
this declaration of our sentiments as widely as pos-
sible, and to discourage, to the best of our ability,
all the groundless and mischievous rumours which
from time to time gain currency, either through the
fears of timorous and ignorant individuals, or the
malicious designs of wicked men, who make it their
object to go about and seek means to promulgate
discontent and strife. .

" We beg leave to subscribe ourselves, my Lord,
your Lordship's most obedient humble servants.
" Madras, July 2, 1857."

SEALKOTE.

The following is an extract of a letter from Dr. J.
H. Butler, 9th Light Cavalry, dated Fort at Seal-
kote, 7th of July :
" From my last letter you will be but little pre-
pared to hear of an outbreak at Sealkote. We had
hoped that all was right with our brigade. But,
alas! on the night of the Bth of July they laid their
plans to rise in mutiny on the following morning,
9tb. At a quarter past 4a. m. I•was called up to see
the Sowars, who were in open mutiny, riding about
the cantonments shooting all they could of the male
sex having an European garb. No intimation from
any of the authorities was given us, but we had pre-
viously arranged (we were living with another party,
Mr. and Mm. Sanders) to have our carriages in
readiness in case of an outbreak, and a few things in
carpetbags to take with us; this was all done, and
we were about to start when Dr. Graham, the su-
perintendent-Surgeon, who had gone before with
his daughter, was shot at and died almost immedi-
ately on his.daughter's kne9, the buggy was turned
round and she came into our compound enclosure,
saying the cavalry troopers had possession of the
roads, and there was no possibility of getting to-
wards the fort. This would not have been the case
had the civil horse not fraternised with the cavalry,
for they looked on and did nothing. Almost itniue
diately a cavalry trooper, with his carbine pointed,
came into the compound and cleared it of our ser-
vants and carriages, and brought up the Sepoys
of the 46th _Native Infantry to surround the house
and masiacre us. We are now a party of 16, 14
Europeans and two natives (female servants). We
bolted and barred the doors, and silently awai ed
the approach of the murderers. Of the 14 Euro-
peans three only were men, all congregated in the
drawing-room, whence the ladies retreated to the
bathing-rooms, and then into a small lumber room
(in a private part of the house, to which is attached
a side door) ; in this room there wore for,unately
two small windows, one open, and in the door some
grating, which afforded ventilation.

" Tie party of Sepoys brought to the house by
the sound of the bugle were now within the house,
and had followed us to the bathing room, but at
seeing my pistol presented retreated. 'J his enab'ed
us t ) make good our retreat to the lumber room,
into which we got and fastened, the door with a
strong bar of wood. No sooner had we done this
this than one of the villains came and fired into the
room ; he was fired at by one of the party, but
missed ; they then beg-In to plunder after firing
promiscuously into every room they came t ), with
the hope of killing every one, in the house. We
were for nearly six hours kept in a terrible stale of
suspense and alarm, expecting everymoment would
be our last. At 11 a.m. the chowk,rdar, or watch-
man, came and brought us some water, and said
our only security was in keeping quiet, that the
house was bqng plundered. Tae yells were fright-
ful. We heard the Siwars from time to time riding
about the compound anxious to get hold of us, but
the chowkerdar told them we were gone.
•‘ When the mutineers blew up the ma,;az'ne we
thought they were blowing up Vie side of our
hiding-place, to induce us to come out to massacre
tis. Ono thief tried to break in our door, and
looked in at the grating ; I took a steady Alm and
shot him dead ; this saved us from further molesta-
tion from the plunderer 4, deterring others from ap-
proaching our biding-place. The watchman came
again at two o'clock, and told U 3 the troops were
going away, and that iu the evening it would be
safe to make our way to the fort, a distance of a
mile and a quarter. We were reported killed, and
received the beauty congratulations of our friends.
At one time, thinking there was no hope, we
made over our youngest boy, an infant at the breast
to the nativanurse, and she promised to screen him.
She took him out under the charge of the watch-
man, but was unable to leave the compound till we
ourselves left. She did not come to the fort that
night, but I sent for her the next day, and she
brought our babe in safety, -We are anxiously look-
ing for assistance from home. Public news you will
seen in the papers. We have been plundered of
everything ; property of every description lost-,-
houses, carriages, furniture, and wearing apparel."

LAEIORE.
The following is written by an officer of the 81st :
" Mean Meer, Lahore, July 14.
"I returned to our linesyesterday, being relieved
by tbo left wing of the Ist B.irnbay Fusiliers, up-
wards of 300 strong so we now have a large Euro-
pean force here. The Fusiliers cacao up from Kur-
rachee in steamers to Mooltan, and then marclied
on here. We sent 2 guns and 50 of the 81st to the
bridge of boats in the Raved, at Lahore, to intercept
the Sealkote mutineers in owe they should come
that way. The. 38th N. 1., after murdering all the
Europeans, at the place they were stationed marched
into Delhi with the band at their head playing
Cheer, boys, cheer.' The heat of this place for the
last few days has been fearful—the thermometer
upwards of 100 in the house. I am obliged continu-
ally to put my head in a basin of water to cool it.
Many officers with their families, from Sealkote,
are expected at Lahore daily. The number of wo-
men and children here already are immense ; they
all flock to Lahore as the only safe place, and now
we shall shortly have the fugitives from Jlieluna.
We have just sent 100 men of the 81st to reinf,rce
the garrison at Umritsir."

. JUBBULPORE.

The following are some interesting extracts of
ietters from Jubbulpore, the last rather of a cheer-

week, the men by a stupid story
lieve that the European troops were withi, aombiel-,
or two of the cantonment, and corning on at double
march to punish and disarm them. This imme.

diately threw the whole regiment into commotion,
and, when the bugle at noon sounded fur the men
to go and cook, the grenadiers and first company
refwed to leave the lines, and it was with difficulty
they were prevented seizing their arms. The good
men of the regiment interposed and prevented them
going to the bells of arms. The Subadar Major, a
man of great influence with the men, ran to the
colonel's to report what was going on, and suggested
that two or three men from each company should
be allowed leave to scour ,the country and satisfy
themselves that no force was approaching. The
colonel consented, and some men started at once.
All reasoning was thrown away upon the men ;
nothing would convince them that there was no
force coming. Since the scouts returned reporting no
troops were coming we have had comparative quiet,
but these men are such children in their ideas that
we cannot calculate what an hour may bring forth.
This m, tiny,f orit can be called b y no other term,
was the more to be regretted, as the men the same
day had shown a good spirit under circumstances
which might, if mutinous intentions existed, at
once have brought things to a crisis. The adju-
tant was inspecting the men for duty ; a man he
had passed a pace or two suddenly tusked upon
him with the cry of Death to the Feringhees,'
and accompanied his cry with a' downwards thrust
of his bayonet. The bayonet passed down the
sleeve of the adjutant's jacket, and grazed his arm
and side. A sudden turn forced the bayonet from
the musket, and the old Subadar Major tried to
seize the Sepoy, but he was thrown down ; the
man, however, was soon captured, though he laid
about him with the butt end of his musket like a
fiend. He has been twice tre Lted for madness, so;.
if not mad, it is politio to say he was on this occa-
sion. He has been sent off to Benares under an
escort. The man said he expected to have been
backed by others who had put him up to act as be
did. I suppose his expected backers saw they
would meet with no sympathy, and were not suf-
ficiently numerous of themselves to get up a
mutiny. There are a great number of good men in
this 52d Regiment, and we must hope that they
have sufficient interest to keep the bad men in
order. As a number of ladies and children have
left the station I have been repeatedly urged by
folks at Kamptee to send Mrs. -- and the little
ones there ; but the wife has determined- to remain
to the last. Once I said she must go ; but, when
I found she was mere likely to die if she went
th'an if she stayed, 1 changed my mind, and now,
from the state of affairs at Karuptee, I really
think we are as safe here as we'should be there.
We have sent some things and a tent out on
the road to Seonee, so that we may not be
quite destitute if we contrive to escape. On
Sunday we heard of the march of a force from
Kamptee to Stones.. This had to be told at once
to the Sepoys here, for they had said they woulel
murder us all if any Europeans were sent here.
Again the men were told they might send some of
their number to see that the force had no intention
of moving beyond Seonee. Good heavens, that it
should have come to sush a playing at soldiers as
this ! But what can we do but temporize ? We
are entirely at the mercy of a powerful body of
armed men. No place of refuge or rendezvous to
fly to in case of revolt ; each must seek safety as
best he may. The only arrangement we can come
to is that all have agreed to take the same road.
Some ladies never take off their clothes at night,
and all are prepared for immediate flight. Our
carriage is drawn,up at the door every night, and
the horses kept harnessed ; but for all that we go
to bed as in the most peaceful times, and sleep
soundly. It is no blind confidence that enables us
to do so. I think it is quite bad enough to be killed
without fretting oneself to death beforehand. I
keep 10 or 12 of our servants sleeping near the car-
riage, and make one of them act as sentry while the
others sleep in peace. I get up occasionally to see
that my sentry is on the alert. This is the more
necessary uow as Dr. W,'s house had a narrow escape
of being set on fire four nights ago by some villa ns
from the bazar. We have now a chain of chowke-
dam all round the cantonment."

MASSACRE OF MISSIONARIES AT
C A.WNPORE.
. _ __

The following letters have been addressed to the
editor- of the Times :

Sir,—You were kind enough at my request some
weeks ago to insert a letter from the Principal of
Bishop's College, Calcutta, giving an account of the
massacre of the chaplain and missionaries at Delhi.
I now send a second letter of the same mournful
tenour with respect to the missionaries of Cawn-
pore. They, too, have perished in the indiscriminate
slaughter of their countrymen and countrywomen.
You will not fail to observe in the letter a passage
which seems to add to the evidence that the recent
deplorable mutiny it India is not so much the work
of tke Hindoo as the relentless and fanatical Ma-
hommedan. Should this prove to be the case the
Government will, it is to be hoped, know ho v to
distinguish the conspirator from his dupe. Many
members of the society will see Dr. Kay's letter
for the first time in your columns. I have at this
season no opportunity of laying it before them in a
formal way, but an already recorded resolution
warrants me in saying that this second heavy blow,
instead of disheartening the society, will have the
effect of animating it to more and more zealous and
sust&ned exertions for the furtherance of the Gos-
pel and all its healing influences in a land so long
sunk in superstition, and now so deeply polluted
by blood.—l am, Sir, your obedient s 3 rvant,

ERNEST HAWKINS.

"Bishop's College, Calcutta, July',2o.
" Dear Mr. Secretary,—lt is once more my pain-
ful offiue to have to inform the society of the loss
of two of their missionaries. Up to yesterday I con-
tinued to hope (though it was the barest possibility)
that Messrs. Haycock and Cockey might have
escaped or been made prisoners. General Have-
lock, who has retaken Cawnpore, has reported that
none of those who capitulated--men, w0m...1r, or
ch ldren—have been spared.
"My last letter from Mr. -.Haycock was dated
Mty 31. He had then taken refuge in cantonments.
He mentioned to me that his maulvie had told him
six months previously that they would 'soon feel
the sharpness of the Mussultnan s sword.'
"The native Christians hart d.ispensed in various
directions previously to the last outbreak.
"Thus it has pleased God to allow His heavy
judgments to fall en those two cities (Delhi and
Cawnpore), in eipecial where the society had, main-
tained missions. What should be done hereaf.er
will be a matter for earnest thought, under the
guidance of Him who has bi'l us sow beside all
waters.'

" Our departed (may I not say martyred ?) bre-
thren wore both men of patient, labortou,, unosten-
t ttious habits—not marked by any great interec-
tual endowments, but well acquainted with the ran-
guage of the country, with-revealed truth, and, I
trust, with the power of religion.
" May their death b 3 'precious in God's sight."
"I enclose copies of the proceedings of Bishop's
College Council for the last two months. There
is nothing of note in them. All our thoughts are
for the present absorbed in the wonderful events
which are passing around us.

I will,uot add anything about the possible in-
fluence this may all have on the position of the
College. But for myself it makes me more indis-
posed, if possible, t 3 relinquish a post so long occu-
pied by the Society's ftituful servants—although
so litslo of overt, recordaVe fruit seems to have.
been borne by it. Thou canst not te'l which
shall prosper—this or that, or whether they both
shall be alike good.'

your prayers,

DEATH OF REAR ADMIRAL JAMES
WILKES MAURICE.

We have to announce the death of Rear-
Admiral J. W. Maurice, who expired at his
residence at Plymouth on Friday last, aged
eighty-two years, having been born Februaryllo,
1775. The venerable and gallant officer entered
the navy in August, 1789, and in 1793 obtained the
rank of midshipman, and while of that rai,k
participated in Lord Bridporb's action in
1795. After seeing further active service, ho was
transferred to the Royal George, 100, flag ship of
Lord Bridport, who promoted him soon afterwards
to the Glory, 18. Lieut. Maurice, in September,
1802, was appointed to the Bentaur, under Com-
modore Samuel Hood, in which he served at the
capture of St. Lucie, Tobago, Demerara, and Ese-
quibo. At the head of a party of marines he did
valuable service at Martinique, where he was
wounded by the explosion of the magazine. He
was, while there, given the command of a sloop in
recognition of the Diamond Rock, and in 1805 sur-
rended to. the French fleet after a brave and highly
honourable resistance, which ob`ainecl the admira-
tion of the immortal Nelson. He commanded the
seamen and marines at the island of Anh )It, which
ho defended against the attack of 4,000 Danes in
1811, and which, at the time, rendered his name
famous for defeating that strong force of the enemy,
he and his men taking prisoners more in number
than their own strength of garrison. He remained
at the island until September, 1812, since which
the gallant officer has not been employed. His com-
missions bore date as follow :—Lieutenant, April
3, 1797 ; commander, May 7, 1805 ; - captain,
January 18, 1809; and re tr admiral (retired), Oat.
1, 1846. He received the naval medal and two
clasps, and was the recipient of an honorary reward
from the Patriotic Fund.

GREAT WESTERN.

It appears the directors of this clinpany era fakir g
active measures to reduce As far as pnisible the workii
expenses of their various lines. A number of the dal! y
trains have been discontinued this month, an arrang
ment which will occasion a commensurate diminution i a.
the outlay for mileage. The locomotive establisbuten
at Swindon will also participate in the general curtaifl,
ment, 300 of the artisans employed at the works having
already received notice to leave the company's service.
