On Saturday, (the day the Europa sailed,) an
excessive demand for money prevailed In the
London market caused by the unfavorable nature
OF the American advices by the Persia, and the
apprehension Of further rise In the bank rates

meeting, and before ~ O'Clock announced fur

PROGRESS OF THE WAR IN lNpA-Another
mail has come, and then another mail upon il
with news from every quarter of the disturbed
provinces, and with most gratifying announce
inent, very late, indeed, from the garrison of
Lucknow, though without informing us of any
substantial change in the position and prospects
of the war. We at home are indeed better
pleased to hear that that garrison was safe on the
ID ult. less than six weeks ago, that it had made
a second successful sortie, capturing two guns
and bringing In large supply Of provisions, aud
that there was good hope of their relief in the
middle OF the middle Of the month. than we
| should have been to hear of another glorious but
Improbable victory i'm the open field. Else
where, though the end Is not yet, everything is
tending to IT. Indeed, no historian, no drama
fist, no poet ever so suspended the interest, so
spun out the preparations, and kept the antago-
nsts SO long on the start IL done by the natu-
raj course Of events in thiswar
Time Is now in our favor; we everywhere hold
out, perSeyere. gain courage and confidence, are
reinforced from the mountains or the ocean, and
grew continually more and more terrible in the
eyes of the foe To the arrivals from the Punaub,
from Nepaul, from Madras, China and Ceylon,
we may now add whole regiments from the Cape
and the head Of the great column from this coun-
toy The arrival of z, 500 troops at Nautilus is
an earnest of what we may now hope for every
mail Yet the work is still all TO come On ali
sides 1t is the note Of preparation, the catalogue
OF the forces the gathering of the hosts-nothing
complete, critical and decisive The siege train
was still to arrive at Delhi, and the assault was
then TO be made. This was indeed no delusion
On the contrary, the mutineers, having gone ont
from Delhi to intercept the dread messengers Of
their doom, suffered great loss of men, gum
and baggage. Everywhere il is the same We
are face to face with one another at hundred
points, collecting our strength aud maturing our
plans. Whichever. side tempts collision, the
triumph Is uniformly ours If to assure the mu-
timers that they must wait their trial and then
their doom Our people have gone out from Agra
IN force, and routed body of the insurgents
Maj Eyre has again defeated the mutineers from
DlnaPoe. Fresh, but not unexpected, mutinies
~ the Punlaub have been speedily extnguished
Thus the intelligence is, throug host, far more
satisfactory and hopeful than could have ven
tured to expect, and ii is impossible not to feel
that we have now broken the back of this terrible
affair
