boats one warrior was seen by the
guard aiming for hie boat, whereupon

LATER FROM DELHI.

Partial Confirmation of the Meas of
the Fall Of Delhi Reported tS2augh.
ter Of 1000 Insuryents-Bloody
Scenes. E
The Intelligence OF the Capture of
Delhi is stated as a fact in the overland
summary of the Bombay Telegraph and
Courier, which ssys under the date Of
July1: .4A#bE 4ft-t sf& ,H
"Since the publication Of our last
summary, grea, events have trauspired.
Delhi has fallen and upwards Of 1000
mutineers have been put to the edge Of
the sword. The army of retribution,
under Gen. Barnard, arrived before Del.
hi on the 9Th inst. On reaching Caidle
Seraee, the English General found the
mutinee,s strongly posted in an en-.
trenched position, completely protected
by strong park of artillery. After re.
connoitering the position of the enemy,
columns to the attack. The insurgents
fought with the most determined bravery
their guns were well served, and they
seemed to be under the guidance oflea.
ders we'll versed in the science of war.
All their Efforts, however to maintain
their position. were unevailing, it was
carried at the point of the bayone,. and
they were ultimately driven within the
walls OF Delhi with great slaughter, and
the loss of twenty-six guns: The loss
on our side was comparatively speak
ing. t'iiling--only some forty or fifty of
our men have fallen. Amongst this
number was Colonel Chester, the adju-
tant general of the army, an officer
whom Gen. Barnard said that she was
esteemed by all for every qualification
which could adorn q soldier" Peace
be with his names. r.rr .
The conduct of the troops, European
aud Native, was most praise worthy
They We'd with each other in daring
and they seemed to be actuated by but
one feeling-a thirst for vengeance.
The Interval between the 9Th and 18th
the day upon which tho city was
stormed--seemed to have been occupi.
ed by Gen. Barnard in canonading and
Smelling the city. AS soon as practical
BILE, breaches had been made in the
walls the town was carried by assault.
Full particulars, however, have not yet
been received; but il must have been
a gallant affair. From news which we
have received from a private source we
lean that the mulineers fought like
fiends. The streets t0cre btocked up wiM
their dead and dying, bit they still
maintained an mnbroken front untU q
miserable remnant took refuge in The
Palace. This, however offered them
but momentary refuge; guns were
broughtto bear upon its massive walls,
and the miscreants acre driuen out to
meet death on the points Of thousands Of
aueaging 6ayonetts. TIE slaughter soas
terrible; upwards Of 1000 Of Tie ma
iAeers are said 10 hare persisted. Our
loss, is no doubt. great; and England
may expect TO hear that many of her
sons have fallen: but the turning point
OF the revolt has been gained; and its
entire suppression will be surely and
speedily accomplished; With the fall
of Delhi. all hopes of e,en,ful success
must have been extinguished in the
bosom of the the most saDguine.

THE EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION.

euhesuay, after discussing and amen.
ding the resolutions previously report
cd by the committee, Gov. Wise offered
u long series of resolutions as a substi-
tute, which were adopted, as follows:
The Convention respectfully submits
to the people of Virginia, the opinions
expressed in the following resolutions:
/. That the losses of the Literary
Fund, amounting to S159,541 IS as
described by the Auditors Report for
1855, Doc. No. 8 and 80, ought to be
made good by the State; and that the
suspended debts, as described by the
same report page 90, ought to be call
ed IN and the interest thereon to be
paid, in order to increase the principal
and income of the Literary Fund.
2. That the oath Section or Article
4 of the Constitution, and the act pas
sed March 25th, 1853, "appropriating
the entire capitation tax to the pur-
pose of education in primary and free
Schools ought to be faithfully execu-
ted by annually setting apart and pay
ing into the Treasury to the credit of
the Literary Fund, for the purpose of
education in primary and free schools,
the amount of the capitation tax for
the preceding year, after the proper
and legal deduction for collection and
lnsOlvcnt returns.
3. The Literary Fund thus increas
cd ought, after all legal deductions, to
yield an income of nearly $3.50, 1000
the estimated amount for the current
year, being, independent of interest on
losses and suspended debts, about
1921, 427 OIL.
4. That this sum is ample, first, to
increase the amount actually hereto
fore applied to primary and free schools;
secondly, to increase the annuity to
the University, and to tho Va. Militia
ry Institute; thirdly, to grant consider
able annuities to twelve colleges.
5. That there being in round mum.
bers about 100000 pupils over seven
and under twenty-one years in the
State, viz:
Over 7 and under II 10000
Over IL and under 16 100000
Over 16 and under 81 $4,000
100000
they ought to be apportioned, accor.
ding to age, among the appropriate
schools, and the income of the Literary
Fund ought to be applied according to
the respective grades of instruction.
6. That the primary and free schools
ought to be classified into <Infant
Schools" for the ages between 7 and
II, and into "High Schools" for the
ages of between II and 16; and the
minimum numbers of pupils over 7 and
under II, for which provision ought to
be made, being 100, 900, there ought
to be at lest 1440 "Infant Schools"
and the minimum number of pupils over
II and under 16, for which provision
ought to be made, being about SO, 900,
there ought to be, at least, $50 "High
Schools" And the proportion of in.
como of the Literary Fund which ought
to be appropriated to
"Infant Schools" is about" $4,000
And to "IIigh Schools" $4,000
