RACE.
Nentre ST. Girls and Sedbury raced for the lead
and soon placed a wide interval between themselves
and their pursuers at the head of whom were Saun-
terer and Ruination. On quitting the straight the
! first two were upwards of dozen lengths a head
hulnation going on third, with Arsenal and Sam
terror next, Charleston, who had occupied a forward
place up to that point, dropping nearly hundred
! yards astern of everything. They rounded the
| clump without changing their positions but i'm

! up and when they reappeared in sight Saun-
terer was seen with the lead Fisherman occu-

| thlrd, and Sedbury fourth. Next in pursuit, and
far behind them, were Schiedam and Arsenal On
descending the hill Ventre St Girls went up to Fish

THE LAST NEWS FROM INDIA.

The gratifying intelligence from India which we
publish to-day contrasts brightly with the dubious

feet OF the victory must have been great and widely
spread. 1t is needless for to rccapitulate the eX
ploits Of what called the Gwalior Contingent
1t is sufficient to say that this force has shown
power of cohesion which has been wanting to almost
every other hostile body.
1t received Il severe blow from Sir Colin Camp
bell at Cawnpore, and suffered further from Sir
Hugh Rose at the capture of Calpee but it has vet
been the nucleus of the army which, on the I'd of
June, was strong enough to defeat the Maharajah
Scindia, and send him fugitive into the British
camp. The rout of Scindia's force might, indeed,
considered blow to British power. great chief,
| perhaps the greatest in Central India, had been
driven from his throne account of his fidelity to
British rule. The successful rebels had, it is sad
proclaimed Mana Sahib, assigned themselves six
months pay, and plundered part of the city of
Gwaor. To punish such outragcs was a matter of
immediate necessity.
Happily this country has in its Indian Generals
men whom numbers do not appal and difficulties do
not discourage Although the terrible sun of India
was approaching the sostice, and every side men
and animals were sinking under the intolerabe heat
the officers in command of the troops in Central In
da did not hesitate to press and strike decisive
blow. The battle in which SCINDGA was routed took
place on the ID, and on the 10th Sir H. ROSE reach
ed GwaliOr, at the same time that Brigadier SMITH
| approached it from another quarter. The enemy
had consequently but short time to enjoy their
triumph. The strength of the fort of Gwalior has
been recently described in these columns, and our
readers will consequently be better able to appre-
ciate the skill and courage which were necessary
for its recapture from victorious and eated enemy.
On the 18th and 18th of June it would appear that
our forces were sharply engaged with the rebels.
and on the 18th the latter totally beaten and
dispersed and the town taken. They then seem
to have abandoned the fort in panic, and it was
taken possession of by Sir Hugh Rose on the
10th. The Maharajah, our ally, was conducted
