The Collins steamer 'Columbia" came up rath
eF unexpectedly this morning. bringing us four
days later advices from Eure.
The Indian mutinies still engrossed general at
tention in England, though no later news had been
received. The wish being father to the thought
some people will have it that Delhi has fallen Says
the Morning Chronicle:
''The rumor the capture Of Delhi is persistent
10 well informed city circles and is accredited
Letters have been received from correspondents on
whom reliance is placed end al Of these concur,
not IN mentioning it as a rumor but as a fact"
But the Chronicle elsewhere communicates news
less agreeable, and we hope not true. 1t adds:
ave regret to say that the intelligence from In
dia, officially received, continues to be OF most
disco raging description. Sir Henry Lawrence
who had already retired from Lucknow, (Oudel
upon Cawnpore, has been compelled to fall back
from the latter position"
The Morning Post will have it that the crisis in
India originated in Russian intrigue:
'Our French contemporary lie Pays" it says,
"aBnouuces, in letter from Calcutta, that a GER
tain Russian, whose name we need not print. has
been very busy for come time in Beitish India, and
that, a short while before the mutiny. he had set
out for Delhi Now, this looks more than suspi-
cious, and, coupling It with the previous intrigues
and the subsequent events, il is more than suspi-
cous-it is damuatory."
And then comes an exposition CT how mischief
can be doae:-
with a few thousand pounds in hand, supplied
BY Armenian or creek Bankers, none -ienders
at any of the Presidencies, Russian agent might
fad hali-a-dOzcn native editors prepared do his
work and ready to send these sao1sUeLles la main
these inceDdiary fying sheets, through not merely
BengI, Beh T, and Benares, but throu h the cOun-
try of the NiZ9m Dude, and the GuicOwar. In the
days Of Louis XIV, the Lieutenant of Police, not
WhstanGing all bis vigilance could not prevent the
circulation u roughout French ciety and the pro-
viuces, OF satirical articles directed against the
French King and his Mistress and these aOuUeLLes
a Ia man were for the most part first printed but
written in thousands and tens of thousands Of cop
les, for easy circulation. In India where there
myriads of craHnies, writing clerks, who
could easily TRANSCRIPT page within the dimensions
of An ordinary visiting card iC Is not difficult to
suppose tlat written sedition treason may have
been propagated far and wide. Under these cir
cumstances it was measure of wisdom and precau-
tion to place the native press under stringent re-
strictiOnE."
The Bombay Times Of 14th June, however, con-
tains letter. the truth Of which it considers prob
able, stating that Delhi is captured, at a sacrifice
of 10000 lives. The report however needs con-
frmatiOn. The next steamer will probably tell the
story.
The Turkish Ministry had all been dismissed, to
retain the presence ofthe French envoy who threat
enod to retire in consequence of misunderstanding
as 10 the Moldsvian question.
The Continental Powers are forgetting and for
giving Sardinia and Austria are busy doing dis
tant courteses; and Naples is being reconciled to
the Western Powers. Ali is peace.
