IND1A.-Full details Of the scenes following the
fall of Lucknow are now published.
The son of one of the Begums and two or
three ladies of the Zensna were killed by dis
charge Of musketry, when the doors were burst
in, before the soldiers saw that they were wo-
men. The plumber and destruction of proper.
ty seems to have been immense. The troops had
been exposed to great labor before the city.
Strong measures were at last taken to pre-
serve order in the city, and prevent plumber. 1t
was expected that 5000 men would have to be
left to garrison Lucknow.
Symptoms were observable of q gathering
cloud in the northwest and preventative meas
ures were urged for fear of e sudden outbreak
of the Sikhs.
Sir James Outram had issued proclamation
declaring that the British government had no
intention to carry on an armed propagandism,
as was believed among the natives; and the Gov
ernor. General had issued proclamation promis-
ing rewards to those who had been faithful and
calling on others to submit, and throw them
selves on the mercy of the British Government.
He confscates all the estates of the latter, but
promises that their lives shall be spared, if they
are not guilty of shedding murderous blood

count of the great losses his army has sustained

The Payssayst that notwithstanding the taking o.
Lucknow, Dude is still in full insurrection and
revolt, and instead of being trodden out, extends
daily.
The Fourth Bengal Light Infantry, 100 strong
have been brought to Court Martial, and sixty
sentenced to be hanged, whilst the remainder
are to be transported for life. Col. Seatin's

Rusiness ON Hand.

The Baltimore American recites the varlou;
causes of complaint we have against different
countries, which may, if we choose, get us into
war with FIVE or six nations. First We have the
Msxicans at Tampico, under General Cara,
firing into our vessels, wounding their crews, im'
prisoning their commanders and plundering the
vessels of their cargoes. To this might be added
the imprisonment of United States citizen In
Sonora, in reference to which the Senate has
ordered an inquiry.
Next, at the island of Hsyti, we hear of an
American schooner fired into by Dominican
feet, while the treatment of Americans by the
black Emperor, Fsustin, is excessively insulting,
and our merchantmen, who have been robbed
by his subjects in the Moro passage to the e1'
tent of hundreds of thousands of dollars, are de-
MED all compensation. At San Domingo our
Consul and all Americans are subject to daily
insults, aud their lives are in constant Jeopardy
The United States flag has been repeatedly drag
ged through the streets, and the Consuls wife
followed and insulted by negro mob. The
French, who are Jealous of American influence
in that quarter, are said to be responsible fol
this state of things, and thus we have fair pre-
text for quarrel with Louis Napoleon.
Then there is the chronic complaint of Cubs
and Spain, which has remained open for years
and, lastly, the recent British outrages in the
Gulf of Mexico. The American omits in iti
enumeration the difficulty with Paraguay, as
perhaps, unworthy of notice.
While we do not question the patriotism and
pluck of our Government, all these matters nc
doubt can and will be settled amicsbly. 1t is
creditable to the Administration that it is in nc
hurry to take up arms. But the United States
Navy is csnsured in connection with these oc
currences as q mere thing Of ornament and nc
use. A meeting of ship masters and owners al
New York recently asserted that their expert
ence had proved that the Navy afforded little OF
no protection to American sailors in foreign wa

VIOLENT ToRNADo.-The storm of Saturday
afternoon, the 10Th, inflicted great damage on
the Western shore of Maryland The steamer
Planter encountered the gale at Trueman's Point,
on the Patuxent. The Marlboro Gazette says
ga number of passengers, ladies and gentlemen,
had not left the boat five minutes before the gale
broke upon them Some of the carriages were
smashed to pieces, and the inmates narrowly es-
capped with their lives. Some idea may be
formed of the powers of the wind from the fact
that an OK team and four oxen with the driver,
were raised from the ground and carried halt
way across the river. The driver was drowned
the oxen were extricated after considerable
time. One of the men belonging to the boat-a
colored man-was at the same moment seen to
fall overheard, to rise no more; and after the
steamer was righted, and the roll called, anoth-
or one of the crew was missing. He was also
drowned. The Captain says that at one glance
he saw four large tobacco houses fall, crushed to
atoms" A correspondent of the Planters Ad'
vocate, writing from Wood Vile, sums up as fol-
lows: 'sBarns blown;n every direction; not a
single timber tree standing; fencing all gone,
drifts of hail four feet high in the village chin
neys blown of, and the entire enclosures of q
part of the village torn to pieces" Great injury
was also done in some parts of Eastern Virginia

EXPLOITS OF THE STyx.-A letter from Hava-

Commerce says:
The commander of the British war steamer
Styx is assuming considerable jurisdiction in the
suaters, and upon the shore OF Cuba: A few
days since, he ordered detachment OF marines
on shore at a small port to the eastward, with
instructions to search sundry plantations from
eight to fifteen miles interior from the point of
landing, giving as an excuse that he had suspi-
cion of cargo of negroes having been landed in
the vicinity, which he wished to seize, &C.. No
negroes had been landed in that part of the
country, so that the foragng party contented
themselves with small hen-roost plumber and
pigs thrown in to cure disappointment. This
very gallant commander stated, in conversation q
at Matanzas, the other day, q have it from good
authority that he was determined to make
money out of the slave,trade one way or the

There are great many young men who seem

they are regardless of it.

WASHINGTON ITEMs.-The British Minister
and his lady returned to Washington on Friday
from visit to Mr.. W. @. Rives, in Virginia =
He has been absent for some days. But he had
in answering the letter of the 10th Of May, in
relation to the case of N R. Burden, disclaim'
ed any knowledge of the instructions under
which the British cruisers had acted, and stated
that he had apprized his Government and the
British Admiral in the West Indiessot the facts,
and the complaint made by Gen. Oass. His let,
ter was dated the 18th, and it is to be presumed
that early in the next month he will be able to
give Gen. Cass some definite information as to
the orders and the extent to which they are
hereafter to be enforced.

relating to the searches made by British CRUZ.

The "STYx" TO BE CAPTURED.-The greatest
excitement prevails in Havana, consequent up
on the late landing of British Marines on the

"An American captain, who is about to leave
Havana for the Chinese seas to bring cargo OF
immigrants to Cuba, was fitting up his vessel in
such manner as to be able to resist the attack
of any vessel that may assail him at sea, either
going,or returning; and he has declared his in
tention to fight for it, if the Styx attempts to
board and search him. Some OF the rich people
of Havana SO highly approve of the determine.
ton that they have offered this captain $4,000
if he can succeed in bringing this pugnacious
Styx into harbor as conquered gunboat. The
results of these bellicose indications remains to
be seen; but no doubt the prompt and decisive
measures of the American government will pre-
vent the sanguinary intentions ofindividual cap
tains.

A RIGHTEoUs VERDIor.-At the recent term
of the Circuit Court for Nelson county, Judge
Thompson presiding, George Monroe, charged
with the murder of negro slave, was tried and
convicted A correspondent of the Lynohburg
Virginian says The murder was committed
last November. The slave was an old and
much respected family servant, the property and
sole support of an aged lady. Being hired out,
Monroe became his overseer. The negro had
been unwell and went out to work, in an en-
feebled condition, therefore not capable of per-
forming much labor. Monroe became irritsted
at his moving about slowly; whipped him &C.
verely and stabbed him with knife in several
places. The physicians testified that he died from
Pneumonia, caused by the attack of the Over
seer upon him; but, as there was doubt in the
minds of the jury to the cause OF the fatal ter
mination, they reduced their verdict down to
murder in the second degree, and confinement
in the Penitentiary for five years. The Judge
refused an application for new trial, and, in
sentencing him, remarked, that in his opinion
the verdict of the jury was right, as he regarded
it as most atrocous murder.

End of the MORMON war.

The report that Brigham Young has surren-
dered to Governor Cumming, although discred-
tied at first, is now generally believed to be true.
This important intelligence is briefly summed up
in the following extract from the st. Louis Re-
publican of the 18th:
In order to account for this change in the as
peot of affairs it may be well to premise that
Col. Thomas l.. Kane, who was sent out as
Peace Commissioner by way of California, ar
rived in Great Salt Lake City on the 10th OF
February; that he remained there eight days
that after that time he proceeded to Camp Scott,
that while there he frequently passed from the
Camp to q place of conference with the leading
Morrnons, outside of the city; that, in pursuance
of negotiations then entered into, Gov. Cumming
left Camp Scott for Great Salt Lake City on the
9Th, and was met by gentleman on the 9th
on Weber River, two days travel from the city
He was accompanied by COL Kane, and escort
ed by Porter, Rockwell, Il. Egar, and other
Mormons. His arrival was anticipated on the
18th, and handsome apartments were proVl
ded and preparations made to receive him IL
good style. A gentleman who knows all about
the Mormon people, and was just from Sal
Lake City, told our informant that the genera
feeling was in favor of peace, only portion o
the leaders, perhaps those who had offended
against the laws, advocating resistance.
A despatch from st. Louis on the Goth says:
! Col. Kane arrived at LeaveDworth on thu
18th, accompanied by Able Gilbert The lat
ter states that Brigham Young had abdicated il
favor of Governor Cumming, who at the lates
dates was 80 miles from Salt Lake City with {
deputation of fifty Mormons sent 10 meet him.
Two of the Administration papers at Wash
ington-the Union and Star--for several day.
stoutly contradicted the report of Young's ab
dication. Both Of them denied that Col. Kane
was an agent of the Government, and the Stal
said there was good reason to believe him u
Mormon emissary and an arrant cheat" The
Union, however, now admits that he is not 9
Mormon, but IS worthy brother of the late Ia
mented DR.. Kane, possessing his energetic ane
benevolent character" whose journey to Sal
Lake, 'tas private individual, was undertaken
from motives of pure benevolence, and in the
hope that he might be instrumental in inducing
the Mormons to submit to the constitution and
the laws, and thus spare the effusion of blood"

The TARIFF QUEsr1oN.-Tbe Report of the
Select Committee on the Tariff presented in the
House of Representatives on Wednesday by MIR.
Boyce, takes the ground that the protective
policy should be entirely abandoned, and that
resort should be made, as early as practicable,
to direct taxation, as measure ofeconomy. Ar
tices of primenecessity should be taxed the low
est rate of duty, and the burden thrown, as much
as possible, on luxuries. The navigation laws
should be so modified as not to require any poi
ton of the officers and crews of American ships
to be American seamen, and that American
citizens shall be free to purchase and sail foreign
ships, on an entire equality with American built
ships and that the American coasting trade shall
be open on terms ofperfect equality totoregn built
ships The Committee say they do not enter
tain the hope that they can inaugurate new
policy now. Such radical changes must be the
work of time. They do not, therefore look SO
much to immediate practical results as to effect
on public opinion, and thus ultimately insure
the triumph of the principles they advocate.
