We were fondlv hoping that all n,utinies
were al ali cnd but the last for DAYS IS brought
rs intelligence Of the mutiny Of six regiments.
At Segowlie the 18th Irregular Cavalry mutt
MED. They shot their commanding officer, his
wife End child and burnt alice their doctor ,cith
his ,cits and child in their own bungalow. At
Futtyshair the wife and child of Mr.. Tucker,
being about to fall into The haa's of another
rebcllious set, she called to h'r husband to shoot
her at once. He did SO. his child also, and then
himself. A Major Robet son has also shot his
wife and children and himself, under similar
circumstances. This is new and melancholy
feature in the tragedies. All this having occur
red within the last few days, makes us the
more anxious about being LETT here unprotected
The officers of the sd materially uphold their
| own regiment, but rs now there are scarcely
ten regiments remaining of the Bengal Army,
it is very probable that the sd will go sooner
or later. 1t is most inscrctable. a regiment
appears staunch up to the hour it met;Iies,
everything going on as usual up to the very
