had occurred among the troops of the Bengal
amy. 1t was believed, however, that the crisis
was past.
The news was favorably received at London,
AID caused an advance in consols.
There is nothing important from China.
Trade at the northern ports was interrupted.
The unwelcome tidings has been received,
that the Atlantic Telegraphic cable parted
when the fleet was $50 miles from shore on the
morning of the It'll, and the vessels were re-
turning to England. Notwithstanding this dis
coureging circumstance, the directors are still
sanguine of the ultimate success of the enter
prise. A conference is being held at London
today, to determine whether to 60 on again at
present or postpone the second effort until next
summer.
At the time the cable broke, there was heavy
swell. The Niagara was going at the rate of
four knots, and the engineer, finding that the
cable was running out too fast for the speed
of the ship, applied the brakes more firmly,
when the cable parted

TIA with Mr.. Field, who fastened to London, to
consult with the directors. The Agamemnon,
Niagara, and Susquehanna, would remain a
short time on the spot, trying experiments in
the deep water of that part of the route, $4,000
hthoms,) with view to future usefulness, and
then return together to Plymouth.
The experience thus far obtained is consid.
cred of great value in the future operations of
the company, who entertain no doubt of the
ultimate success of the undertaking. The
Company are now considering whether to make
snother effort after the equinoctial gales, or
Vsait till next summer. The impression pre-
walls in Liverpool, that the trial will be renewed
IN October.
The proceedings of Parliament have no
American interest.
Charles knight has been appointed British
consul at Philadelphia.
Advices from the overland mail state that
Delhi had not fallen on the 9th of June. The
rebels had made several desperate sorties, but
were repulsed with great slaughter. The re-
bellion had been crushed at Aurungzebad, Sina,
and 'Allahabad, but was extending in other
parts. The Punjaub was quiet.
LATEST FROM INDIA
The latest English papers furnish the follow.
ing intelligence from India, extracted from
The Bombay Times of the l4th of July:
In the last fortnight we have probably passed
nope that our future advices will be chiefly
occupied with recital of the subsistence of
yhis great rebellion, and restoration of order in
The disturbed provinces. The truth is, that
here are no more regiments to mutiny, unless
:hey are to be those of Bombay and Madras,
concerning the fidelity of which there is not the
slightest ground of suspicion.
During the fortnight just elapsed, we have
received intelligence of the mutiny of the troops
at Moradabad, Fyzabad, Seetapore, Saugor,
Nowgong, Banda, Futtehghur, Mhow, and In
dore.
Delhi had not fallen, up to the 9th of June,
the date of our last advices ria Lahore. There
has been good deal of fighting outside the
walls, the rebels being defeated on every occa-
sion with great slaughter; and it is a matter of
much congratulation that the apparent hope
lessness of their cause has effectually checked
the disposition of the mutineers at other sta
tons to proceed to their assistance. The only
attempt which has been made to reinforce
them seems to have been on the part of the
Nusseerabad mutineers, who were cut up dread
fully on the occasion by General Barnard's
force. Whether any of them got inside the
walls or not, we cannot say.
The force at General Barnard's disposal has
doubtless been inadequate for the reduction of
the place; but, AS important endorsements
must have joined his camp before this, we en-
terrain a confident hope that our next advices
will announce the fall of the place. Meantime,
the force has not been idle. Animated by the
courage of despair, the mutineers have made
the most desperate sorties, but ever with the
same result. They have been driven back into
the city with terrible loss on every occasion, to
find eventually, as we trust, their tomb within
its walls.
There cannot now be fewer than 1000 Euro
pesns before Delhi, if indeed they are not al
ready inside. The native portion of this force
has proved itself trustworthy; and, considering
the powerful artillery now at General Barnard's
command, and the strength of his cavalry arm,
$500 sabres,) we shall have room to express
the deepest dissatisfaction if the blow which ia
now struck be not final, 80 far as the mutineers
of Meerut, Delhi, and Nusseerabad, are con-
i cerned The miscreants are fairly Gagged, and
will End their grave in the spot they have pol
luted by their bloody and atrOciOus crimes.
