INDIA. BOMBAY, April 24. The hot weather has now set in throughout India in all its intensity, but the greater part of the British forces engaged in suppressing the rebellion must still of necessity keep the field. If Luoknow and Jhansi have fallen, Bareilly and Calpee remain defiant, and demand from Sir Colin Campbell and Sir Hugh Rose the employment of every man not absolutely indispensable in garrisoning the captured cities. In Rohilound, therefore, there will be a hot weather campaign, sod along the course of the Juinna; nor in the districts southeast of Oudo, nor in Bundelound, nor far away to the  westward of the scene of the great struggle—where, among the mountains of Khandeish, the 13heels and other marauders still oppose the Sepoys of this Preaidenoy—is the matter likely to be thoroughly worked out before the rain comes down to suspend all operations. From Oude our intelligence of late has been but scanty, but we have the great fact that the advance into Rehilcund has begun. 'Why the operations consequent upon the fall of Lucknow were not sooner commenced we are not well informed. We believe, however, that the interval of comparative inaction has been employed in endeavouring, while restoring order in the recovered capital, to quiet the country also, by obtaining the subnnasion of the loading chiefs and landholders. For this purpose a proclamation has been issued by Lord Canning, offering terms, favourable indeed, but such as have not yet produoed the desired effect, owing, as we are told, to their containing no stipulation as to the land which is to be confiscated. All that appears quite certain is, that after a visit of the Commander-in-Chief to the Governor-General, at Allshabul, about the 10th, the forces intended to operate against Beretlly, now the place of rendezvous of all the principal rebels of the north-west—Nana Sahib, the Nawab of Futtygliur, Khan Bahadoor, and others—began to move. General Walpolo's division broke up from Lucknow, and began its march upwards, while Coke', brigade, leaving its position at Roorkee, crossed the Ganges, and entered the rebellious province from above. The Commanderin Chief ordered his staff down to Cawnpore, intending, apparently, to proceed up the right or Doab side of the Ganges to Futtyghur ; and thus the campaign in Rohilcund has begun. But it was not only in a north-westerly direction from his head quarters at Luuknow that Sir Colin had to look for rebels to chastise. Fyzabad, in the east, was nooupied by insurgents, and, further away beyond the Oude frontier, Azinighur was closely beleaguered by Kooer Singh, of Arrah notoriety. Against Fyzabad marched, under Sir Hope Grant, on the 11th, a brigade selected from the garrison of Lucknow, of apparently three European regiments and a corps of Sikhs, with cavalry and artillery, and to relieve Arinighur Sir Edward Lugard, started from Lucknow on the 29th of March. Of the movements of the first of these two columns we have yet to learn anything important ; but the news hu reached us that the latter force has relieved the garrison of Azimghur.  INDIAN anATITUDIL—The desoondante of Shah Sopjah, whose claims we so long supported against Dost Mahouts& have been for years past in a nate of ooinparative poverty. Sir Henry Lawrence during his lifetime took oompassion on the fallen state of the family, and introduced as many of its members as were eligible Into various native corps. Among cadets thus provided for was one Shalizadah Sounder. This man wee appointed a jemadar in the let Oude Cavalry, raised by Major Daly. When he joined his corps he had neither clothes nor money, but he woe eupplied with both and treated with every consideration. In May last Seounder's troop and another were ordered to march from Luoknow and keep open communications with Delhi. The troopers mutinied, three of the ()Moors were murdered, and all but Seounder marched off to Delhi. Seconder, however, galloped off to Coal, and informed the civil authorities there of what had taken place. He did not I nig remain faithful, but Joined the Delhi mutineers, and was there discovered fighting against the British. During the siege he used to hold frequent conversations with one of Major Daly's troopers who acted as an emiseary, and was in the habit entering Delhi in disguise. This trooper endeavoured to turn back Seconder to his loyalty, but without enema. Delhi was eventually captured, Seconder became • prisoner, and has sines been hanged by order of Mr. Montgomery.— /Friend of India. April 8.
