India and HayelOck.

Since the rebellion burst forth in British India, says the Louisiana Courier, death has been signally active among the leading generals From AnsoD, the commander in-chief, to Have lock, the hero of dozen battles, there has been no cessation of deaths doings. Perhaps it is the climate or may hap the age of the generals flor even Havelock, so new to fame, was sixty two years old-that proves thus fatal to them These numerous losses cannot fail to have their effect on the Sepoys, who see in the fall of each of their most distinguished foes motive for renewed exertion on their own part.
 The death of General Havelock can be view ed by En gland only as a national calamity While the fame of his great achievements was resoundng in every homestead and men were looking with confidence to his brilliant future there comes the grim sergeant who musters soldier and civilian in the same dark company, and mows him down. Had Havelock died on the field of battle, where he had often been the mark for the keenest of the enemy and where the halo of glory still hovers round the shroud, 1t would not appear So sad as to hear that he was suddenly struck down by mortal sickness.
 The news from India is in other resnects equally gloomy. In spite of favorable prog. nostications, the rebellion still spreads. Those glaring blunders which cast discredit on the British army in the Crimea are repeated Troors arrive in Calcutta and remain inactive there through no means of conveyance being provi ded for them, although their presence at Luck now is most earnestly required by Sir Collin Campbell.
 Calcutta correspondent of the London Times writes:
 Sir c. Campbell has demanded orders to hold or leave Lucknow. He wants reinforce. ments bitterly, the Sepoys swarming in the city and fighting desperate Asiatics always 6ohf Fifteen hundred dead bodes all Sepoys were counted in the Secunherbagh alone.

 The port of Calcutta at present exhibits magnificent sight, there being pot less than 192 vessels in the harbor.
 "The same correspondent, in describing the condition of some portion of India says:
 !" Glancing from Dude over the remainder of the northwest we find scarcely vestige of au- thority. In Bareilly Mussulman named Ma hommed Khan reigns supreme. His forces con- prise three regiments of infantry, a thousand cavalry, some artillery and an irregular corps of 500 butchers They were recently threatening Nynee Tal, but the Goorkas there were ready for them. and Mahommed Khan disappeared into less dangerous neighborhood. Goruck- pore ard Juanpore are also still in disorder.- Allahabad is menaced every now and then bv oreat bodies of men, who advance create panic. and retire. Mirzapore was threatened on the night of the 10th of November by the mutin- ous companies of the 32d; and as there was a disarmed regiment in the city itself, the inhab itants were collected for security. The alarm. however, proved unfounded, the 32d avoiding the city, and marching, apparently, towards Re- wah.'"
 That boastful and defiant tone but recently assumed by portion of the British press will be humbled by these drear tidings. The wide spread mutiny cannot be suppressed by careful ly-worded bulletins nor will peace reign even at the potent nod of a Palmerston.
