The Sun. — 1857-07-14 (London, England)

MEERUT.  JUNE 4.—Yesterday was the first time the Agra mail came in since the 20th ult. We have succeeded in opening a regular dak between this and Kurnaul.  The best portion of our Meerut European-troops left this about a week ago for Delhi. They have had two severe engagements with the rebels ; the loss on our side is, thank God ! but little in comparison to that of the enemy's-17 altogether on oiir aide have been killed and 19 wounded, and amongst these 5, 1 l,elieve died from strokes of the sun. Dr. Moore, of the Carabincers, was taken ill when he was comingin with the wounded, and died shortly after his arrival here. A lieutenant of the rifles, Mr. Napier, has had ono of his legs shot off. Mr. Budd is out with the camp as baggage-master. We are still living in the Arsenal, but are a little more comfortable now, our numbers having de creased a little. Last evening five murderers were hanged, and the evening before six. Some of those who suffered last evening were proved to be Mrs. Courtney's murderers. One was the private Jemadar of the native deputy collector. One of these savages was undaunted to the last. Ho wished all his brothers, or rather his brethren, good bye, and blessed them all, and told them the Feringbees were taking his life for no fault of his ; and he scarcely gate them time to secure the noose properly round his neck, when he jumped off the platform. June s.—Dr. Moore, of the 6th Dragoon Guards, died this morning. A party of the 60th Rifles and Carabineers have just returned from a very successful foray, having killed some 150 of the blessed Goojurs without having a man hurt. Five villages were destroyed. —Mofussilite Extra, June 6. The following is supplied by the Government a.

We took up our position this morning on the left bank of the Hindon, holding the Suspension-bridge. At 4 p.m. the picket gaveope n ido tai c e fi roe f tohe h e five approach vegut; guns. The of troop enemy,oop of hNhO ,V, rse artillery cro3Eed the Hinder' by a ford un the right, pr.tected by the Carabineers and the Rifles by the bridge. The enemy was driven iu by the Rifles and fira of Major Scott's battery, and the Horse artillery turned their flank and they fled, leaving all the guns and a large supply of intrenching tools. Some took refuge in a village, and were shot down or burnt out. Another party of their force was pursued by the Carabineers. I was allowed by Brigadier Wilson to attend upon him during the action, and can therefore speak from' personal knowledge of the admirable manner in which the battle was fought by our troops. Our loss fell chiefly among the Rifles, but I am not aware of the actual number of killed and wounded. In another letter it is stated that our loss i
