THE CALCUTTA MAIL.

The following telegram, which was received at
the East India House this morning, gives the Cal-
cutta version of the relief of Lucknow. It will
be found to correspond with that from Bombay,
published on the 26th inst., but contains a few
additional particulars :
The Commander-in-Chief crossed the river and
entered Oude on the 9th inst. He was reported
from Cawnpore on the 12th to have reached Allum-
bagh, and to have opened communication with Sir
Jas. Outram. Between the 9th and 12th one thou-
sand three hundred troops of all arms crossed the
river at Cawnpore to join the Commander-in-
Chief. On the 12th three companies of the 82d
marched for Mlumbagh, and on the following day
three companies of the 13th, the military train
and Crawford's artillery were to move in the same
direction ; further, it was intended to send on
Carthew's brigade of Madras sepoys, expected at
Cawnpore, unless the Gwalior mutineers should
cross the Jumna ; the latter on the 12th inst.
numbered 3,000, or, by native accounts, 5,000
effective men, with 8 heavy and 30 field guns.
By the last telegram, dated 23d, some por-
tion of this force had crossed the Jumna and
entered the Doab. On the 13th the Commander-
in-Chief commenced operations by blowing up the
Fort of Jhullawan, near Allumbagh ; on the 15th
inst., he occupied Dilkoosha Park and Martiniere,
after a running fight of two hours ; in the even-
ing the enemy again came forward, but were
heavily repulsed, and the operation ended in our
taking the post across the canal. Our losses small.
Lieut. Mayne, Horse Artillery, and Lieut. Wheat-
croft, Carbineers, killed.
On the 16th the Commander-in-Chief advanced
across the canal in force ; on the 17th he attacked
Bagh, which was occupied after a severe struggle.
The enemy suffered enormously, 1,500 dead
bodies of sepoys having been counted in one place
only. The Nhah Munzill was then cannonaded
for three hours, and was carried at dusk, after
one of the severest fights ever witnessed.
On the 16th the Mess-House was carried by
assault, after a heavy cannonade, and the troops
then pushed on rapidly and seized the Motee
Mahu before dark.

Outram and Havelock came ont then and joined

he Commander-in-Chief.

The Commander-in-Chief was very slightly
wounded, and of his staff Major Alison,severely,
and Captains Alison and the H. A. Anton, slightly.
The following officers were killed :--Midshipman
Damien, Naval Brigade ; Captain Headley, Royal
Artillery ; Captain Dalzell, 93d ; Capt. Lumsden,
30th Native Infantry, doing duty with 93d; and
Lieutenant Frankland, 2d Punjaub Infantry.

Twenty•seven other officer 3 were wounded. The

list goes by this mail. The Commander-in-Chief
reports that the garrison has been removed, and that
he is engaged in conveying women and wounded
to the rear. The city of Lucknow will be held in
check by a strong moveable column, with field and
heavy artillery, occupying a good military position
outside the town. The Fort of Antrowahes eva-
cuated by the enemy, and razed to the ground by
Colonel Southden, who intended returning in-
stantly to the Jaunpore frontier, as it was still
threatened by a large force from Oude.

Lieut. Osborne, political agent in Rewah, has
been authorised to detach a force to suppress the
insurrection in Bijerargoogurh, and to take the
administration in his own hands. He reports
that certain chiefs of Majher have broken
out in rebellion at Rewah itself. The agent
seems to be all right now. A body of mutineers
reported on the 10th to have advanced from
Ghorawal or Mezzapore district, and to have
crossed the Beglun into Rewah territory. The
fort of Dhur occupied by our troops on the 15th,
but the rebel garrison escaped.
It is apprehended that the mutiny of the
Cotah troops, and the disaffection among the
feudatories of Meyar and Marnear may cause
serious disorder in Rajpootana. The force
there is very weak, and European troops are
urgently called for. From other native
%totes there Imo new :intelligencse of an
unfavourable nature. The following vessels have
