From the tone of the English press, it
is evident that no fears are entertained IN
England of the ultimate success OF this

correspondent that the accident is altri'

machine used in laying out the cable' es'

engaged in the work pronounce not only
worthless but mischievous. At the mo-

The Revolt in India.

The news from India dates to the 9th
of June. Up to that time, Delhi remain
ed in the possession of the insurgents,
who were besieged by the British army,
composed of some eight thousand Euro
peans and five natives--the latter being,
of course, entirely untruslwortby. The
insurgents had made severa. savage
sorlies. but were at each time repulsed
with great slaughter.
At Bombay and Madras alone the Ia
tive armies remain "loyap'-that is, they
veil their sentiments with Oriental Sc
crecy. Everywhere else the maddening
ether of mutiny has filled the minds OF
the people. All over Hindostan, there is
tumult and confusion. The greatest ap'
prehension, mixed with doubtful hope OF
ultimate triumph, prevails in Britain. If
the people of India find leader equal to

Mysteries Of the Stock Board.

country no slight service in exposing
with an able and a fearless hand, the mysr
teries, or rather the sharp practices, oil
the stock gamblers. A correspondent OF
the Argus, in the city of New York.
makes, in q recent communication, the
following revelations:
"During the last seventy-seven days,
sales of the stock of the Reading railroad
amount 10 32l, ,623 shares; exactly 97,-
955 shares more than the entire stock OF
the company. At par, the amount ex-
ceeds $4,000 600, and if the average
per day (4,l67 shs. is kept up, the busl.
ness Of the year in Reading alone will
amount to S64, ,500-or about Sl4,-
600 600 more than the banking capital of
this city. But notwithstanding the amt
and the Juror that was kept up on the
subject, the stock iu the city neither in
creases nor dminishes and the innocent
or morally" inclined citizens, IN the
shane of interest and commissions, are
obi ged to fork over between four and
five millions of dollars. But such is life
and The swindle enables The fraternity tc
seize upon any Of the stocks upon theIE
lists and batter the price to suit their in
rentions. We must endure it until the
common sense Of the people or the legls'
lature OF the State directs it otherwise
The gambling part of the story is. how
ouer, not the worst. The facility Tor de-
slroying the best stocks of the country is
beginning 10 alarm the people abroad
and if the system is continued we may
be forced to recognize another reason io

tract the following account OF the late
affair with the Indians on Devils river:
