LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1857.

Additional intelligence from India has come to
hand by the Bombay mail, which, although de-
spatched before the Calcutta one, was longer on
the passage. It does not in any material de-
gree alter the general features of the case, so far
as public affairs are concerned. It gives, how-
ever, more minute details respecting the proceed-
ings before Delhi, and will therefore be a very
acceptable r.ddition to the general information.
We previously knew that General BARNARD
had from 7,000 to 8,000 European troops
of all branches, and about 5,000 trustworthy
native soldiers, on whose fidelity and good
conduct implicit reliance might be placed. We
now learn that before the end of June, that
is to say within three days of the time to which
authentic accounts have been received, he Expected
at least 3,500 men, including the Bth Foot and
a wing of the East, a troop and two batteries of
Artillery, and some Punjab and other Irregulars,
horse and foot ; and that he would, within a
week or ten days after their arrival, be in a
position to make an organised attack on the rebtl
stronghold. There would not be a regular siege
with advances by parallels, and the various forms,
of which so much was learned during the
beleaguerment of Sebastopol. The time consumed
in such processes would be very injurious to
English interests. The bold and daring course is
generally successful, and with English forces,
trebly armed in the justice of their cause, against
rebels and murderers, there can be but little doubt
as to the result. The next mail may announce
the certain fall of Delhi—the following one will
most probably do so—and the virtual suppression
of the revolt.

We have also accounts of deeds of valour dis-
played by both English and native troops in re-
pelling the so •
rtlee of the mutineers, and the
attacks of rebel, trying
zeal to swell their ranks.
greater
Never was and efficiency displayed by
any body of men. They
showed themselves to
be worthy successors of theft Whose brilliant ex-
ploits and founded
consolidated the Anglo-Indian
Empire. The attacks which in the first instance
had been of almost daily occurrence, and
con-
ducted with the utmost determination, had be-
come comparatively rare and feeble, showing that
the insurgents had become gradually disheartened
and that they had but little hope
of eventual
success in the desperate game in which they had
so recklessly engaged—hazarding their lives and
future welfare.
We have not very accurate tidings as to
B°ll•Tmee proceedings. The Gwalior Contingent
have mutinied, but there is as yet nothing to
show that the chief has identified himself with the
cause of his insurgent troops. His acts will be
of considerable consequence, but whatever course
he may pursue, he cannot materially affect the
result. He may protract the conte t for a time,
but cannot affect its issue. But, happily, no
suspicions can be entertained of the fidelity and
loyalty of the other great Chief of Central India.
Indeed, he has given the most conclusive proof of

MEXICO.

We have news from Vera Cruz to the 21st, and
from the city of Mexico to the 17th ultimo. As fax
as heard from the elections were favourable to
Comonfort. A revolutionary movement at Jalapa,
iu the interest of Santa Anna, is spoken of as
causing the Government much uneasiness. The
apprehended Spanish invasion caused serious alarm,
and the governors of the various provinces had been
ordered to hold the National Guard in readiness.

ask those lodgment creditor 4 to refund the 2g., and
',posed amendments occordingly.l

The LORD-CHANCELLOR Made a further amend-
ment to the amendments, to the effect that the share
holder should not refund the 2a. He o oved, therefore,
that the Commons' amendments with an amendment be
agreed to.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—As an officer of the Rifle Brigade, who was
present with the Light Division at the hat,le of
Ftvflltes d'Onor, I gladly respond to the eta of Sir
William Napier, in your c )lumns of yesterday, by
adding my testimony to the truth of his stAttlment
that the squares of the Light division never were
charged by the Frew.th cavalry during any period
of that day. Had they attempted it they would
have found, in the words of " Bonnie Dundee,"
that " there were crowns to be broke," which were
only not broken because the attempt was not made ;
for no enemy throughout the war evt r succeeded
in seeing the inside of a square of the Light
Division.

I am, sir, your very obedient servant,

BIFIRi AT PRINCE ALBERT'S FARM.—On Saturday
morning considerable excitement was occasioned at
Windsor by the arrival of, a messenger from Flemish
Farm for the engines, which were promptly despatched.
A company of the 3d Battalion of Grenadier Guards,
under the command of Colonel A. F. Foley, doubled to
Flemish Farm, and by their active exertions, combined
with similar aid from the Royal Horse Guards with
their barrack engine, and the exertions of the labourers
from the adjacent farms, the fire eas got under by
twelve o'clock. It is supposed that the fire was occa-
iioned by the spontaneous combustion of one of the
hay-ricks, and the flames extending to a second rick,
both were totally destroyed. The value is estimated at
800/. The property was insured.

fere,,ce to Sir W. Codrington is as un
sion sought to be conveyed is unjust.
The Times ought to have better information.
You ought to have had means of knowing that Sir
William Codrington, anxious only for any tlare in actt
vt.
operations in the field, and waiving all considerations of
his military rank and former position, has already ear-
nestly tmdered his services for empl'qyment in India'
Sir illiam is within a few hours call, should he
W ll*
wanted ; and meanwhile his present charge is a mark of
confidence from his Sovereign of which he may justly
feel proud.
In the General's absence, and as his late military
secretary in the Crimea, I venture to set you right in thi,
matter, and to request your insertion of this letter.
Your obedient ervat

"We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of
stricture to have equalled, if It has not exceeded, that of an}• of his
contemporaries; whilst we most certainly know of no man to whose
care we would sooner Intrust the treatment of a severe case of stric-
ture."—Medical Circular.

" MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

" We are commanded by her Majesty to release
you from further attenlance in Parliament, and at
the same time to express to you her Majesty's
cordial acknowledgments for the zeal and assiduity
with which you have performed your important
duties during a session which, though shorter than
usual, has, nevertheless, been unusually laborious.
" Her Majesty commands us to express to you
her satisfaction that the present state of affairs in
Europe inspires a welt-groundel confidence in the
continuance of peace,
"The arrangements connected with the full '
execution of the stipulations of the Treaty of Paris
have, from various causes, not yet been completed ;
lmt her Majesty trusts that, by the earnest &Mita
of the contracting parties to that treaty, all that
remains to be done with reference to its stipu-
lations may ere long be satisfactorily settled.
"Her Majesty commands us to inform you that
the extensive mutinies which have broken out
among the native troops of the army of Bengal,
followed by serious disturbances in many parts of
that Presidency, have occasioned to her Majesty
extreme concern ; and the barbarities which have
been inflicted upon many of her Majesty's subjects
in India, and the sufferings which have been
endured, have filled her Majesty's heart with the
deepest grief ; while the conduct of many civil and
military officers who have been placed in circum-
stances of much difficulty, and have been exposed
to great danger, has excited her Majesty's warmest
admiration.

" Her Majesty commands us to inform you that
she will omit no measure calculated to quell these
grave disorders ; and her Majesty is confident that,
with the ble3sing of Providence, the powerful means
at her disposal will enable her to accomplish that
end.
