LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

BY the arrival of the steamer Europe on
the 11th, we have the following in regard to
the war in India: The mutineers still held
Delhi on the 18th of July. They had made
three additional sorties, but were defeated
in each with heavy loss.
Sir Hugh Wheeler was killed at Cawnpore,
the garrison of which being reduced to fam
inc surrendered to Hend Sahib. who, in vio-
lation of his solemn promise, massacred the
whole garrison. Sahib was subsequently
defeated with great loss by Gen. Haverlock,
who re- occupied Cawnpore.
Sahib massacred at Cawnpore $40 women
and children. Among the officers killed are
Sir G Gorge Parker, Col. Williams and Brig
adler Yack.
An obstinate battle was fought on :he 5th
of July before Agra, between the garrison
and the Memmush mutineers, numbering
10000 troops. The British retired with a
heavy loss, having several of their officers
killed.
In the Liverpool market Cotton had ad-
vanced. Wheat and Corn dull.
ExPREsIDENT PIERCE.-The Spring
field massachusetts, Argus says:
'Ex-President Pierce, since his retire
ment from the Chief Magistracy, has spent
| a portion of his time in Concord, which had
been his residence for many years before
| his election to the first office in the nation:
The feeble state of Mrs. Pierce's health has
prevented the ex- President from determine
ing upon his residence, although he has, we
think, no idea of leaving his native State.
1.-The people of Concord, where he is held
in the highest respect and esteem, invaria-
bly, express the hope that he will fix his
permanent residence among them. He is
now staying temporarily in Andover, where
| Mrs. Pierce has relatives We regret to
| learn that her health, which for long time
has been feeble, is not improved since they
left Washington. We have never seen the
ex-President looking in better health than
at the present time"
THE SUGAR TRADE.-The fall in the
value of sugar and molasses has been great
within few weeks past. The losses on the
stocks on hand must have been many
millions of dollars to dealers in this country,
and much more to foreign holders.
There is no doubt that spectators
have caused the high price of sugar and
molasses. A Newbury-po correspondent
of the Boston Traveller states that millions
of dollars worth of these articles held on
foreign accounts are stored in that town.
Three acres of South Boston wharf are
completely covered with molases hogs
heads. the leakage from which, it is
estimated, amounts to forty thousand gal
Ions day.
NORTH CAROLINA PRINTING PAPER
A correspondent of the Petersburg Express,
writing on board of the steamer Roanoke,
at Portsmouth, Va, says: To my sur
prise the Roanoke took on here about three
hundred bundles of paper all manufactured
! in North CayoIina, and shipped to the port
of New York via Portsmouth. But the
strangest idea connected with this transac-
ton, is TIE fact, that the most Of it is sold
to and consumed by Greeley, in printing
that freedom shrieking sheet the Tribune
1t is said by some that Greeley married in
Warrenton, North Carolina, and, therefore,
has some sympathy remaining for the Old
North State. This may be assigned as
reason for his purchasing printing paper
!
! the matter doubtless is, that Greeley gets
it a little cheaper than he could in the free
States; and where money enters into any
transaction with which Yankee Adolf
zionist is connected, you may take it for
granted that the pecuniary consideration
| will outweigh every other Love for
negroes, country, and all things else, must
! give way for the love of mammon.
EE A smash-up occurred on the Cam
| den and Atlantic railroad on Saturday last,
| by which three persons were killed and
thirteen wounded.
@ To carry Collins steamer from
| New York TO Liverpool, requires eight
hundred tons of coal-enough to last an
ordinary family forty years.
| The New Orleans Picayune announces
| the arrival, by the steamer Lecomte, Capt
Johnson, of sixty-fve barrels new molasses,
made from the Sorgho Sucre, or Chinese
sugar cane, on the plantation of Mr. Delery
parish of St Bernard. This is somewhat in
anticipation of usual receipts of new molas-
ses. 1t is considered an excellent article.
REVIVAL INTELLIGENCE.-Ar revival has
been going on for the last week or two,
and is still progressing, in the Methodist E.
Church in Greensborough, under the minis
| try of the very efficient and able Pastor of
| that Church, the Rev. n. F. Reid. Be-
tween 40 and SO have made public profess
sions of conversion, and many others are
still bowling before the penitential altar
Between 80 and 40 have united themselves
with the NJ E. Church, and, we learn,
| Others intend doing SO on.-Greensb0ro'
