certain transactions at. Cawnpore and Di-
nspore, and which are supposed to afford
m explanation Of the late order Of the
governor-general Of India, in favor Of
ciemency and justice, and Of the strong
accusations made By, Gen. Outram
against soldiers under bis command.
Ahese matters cannot be long coacealed
from the public. They point to new
massacres that have taken place at Dina
pore and Cawnpore, but unfortunately
the soldiers charged with the most recent
deeds Of horror, are English and not Sc
poy. So,
We will mention what the statements
to which we refer, really are, promising
that the information we give is derived
from reliable authority.
1t is said that at Cawnpore and the
neighborhoud, the Queens 18th Regi-
ment put to death not fewer than ten
thousand people; or, according to anoth-
er version. killed all the natives that they
could get at, whether men, women or
children. At Dinapore, portion Of the
Sepoys, at a great personal risk, refused

but the Queens 10th, after an encounter
At Arrah went to the barracks VIII ere the
faithful sepoys were, and said. "What'
are these black devils to be spared merely
because they have given up their arms?'
Then amid curses and imprecations. they
turned the unarmed scpoys into the bar.

numbers Of them before the massacre
could be stopped. The numbers Of kill
ed and wounded by this process are vari-
ously stated. but we hear that nearly half
Of the hundred who we're taken out had
thusito suffer. This, however, is the
mildest version Of the Dinapore affair
The absyonet as well as the bullet was
used by the soldiers Of the 10th, and one
Of their victims was woman.
In the Bombay Gazette we have an ac-
count of the practice adopted by the Eng.
lish army in blowing away sepoys from
theis guns, and it will be found reprinted
in the Star Of to-day. II is mode Of
punishment which evidently casts the
wheel, the gallows and the guiltone into
the shade, and appears to be accompanied
by mu ilating horrors that probably have
in the whole history Of man
kind. !. -
