Fall of Delhi--Death of Gen. Cayaigua,


Fall Of Delhi-Death of Gen. Cayaignac
The adviccs by the Arabia are unusually
important especially as regards the news
from India. After terrific struggle, which
continued for six day, Delhi has fallen the
British loss in killed and wounded amounting
to SIX hundred men, including fifty officers. -
No quarter was given to the Sepoys, many of
whom, however escaped. The women and
children were spared, The moral effect of
! this momentous incident will probably be de-
cline Of the revolt, as Delhi was not only the
focus, but also the point d'oPpui of the mutt
neers. Gen Havelock has received consid-
erable reinforcements at Cawnpore, and is said
to have moved forward to the relief of Luck
now, which still held out bravely. Fears were
entertained of several insurrectionary tumults.
and 1t is probable that the King of Delhi and
| his two sons, who contrIyed to leave Delb; at
the time of the siege, may furnish influential
| leaders for the further operations of the Sc
poys. As supplies of men and arms howcr-
er. are now arriving almost daily at Bombay,
Calcutta and Madras, there is every chance
for speedy and general discontinue of the
plans OF the Insurrectionsts. General Cav
aignac has passed away from earth and all its
troubles. lie was truly man of TX, and
filled several of the most important posts in
the French Army and Nation At the close
of the Algerine War, he was made Governor
General IN French Africa. At the breaking
out OF the revolution, he became Minister of
N ar, and In very few months after that ap-
pointment, the National Assembly delivered
to him the command of all the National
troops. In the June insurrection, after four
days lighting, be triumphed over the Partisan
populace, and became the Dictator of France.
But in q true republican spirit. he resigned
his Dictatorship. and was appointed President
of the Council. AS candidate for the Pres
idcncy of France, he was defeated By Louis
Napoleon, who contrived to imprison him at
Ham. He was, however soon freed from his
confinement, and elected TO the National As
bly-but declined taking the required
| oath. lie afterwards lived as a private gen
tleman, and died stern and unwaverng re-
publican Several heavy failures had occur
red at Liverpool and Manchester, doubtless
produced by the panic in the United States,
and in a few instances by the suspension of
the Borough Bank Of Liverpool, with la
bilities reaching $500. .000-the whole of
which is fully secured. In London, but
single firm, that Of Brand & Co, is recorded
failure. This house is said to have been
largely connected with the American trades.

The blockade OF Canton was strictly enforced,
and the L. S. sloop of war Portsmouth, had

blockade has been decided advance in teas.
