BEITARES.  The Poonah Observer of July 28 publishes the following letters from Benares, dated the 19th : "We have just received General Havelock's desPatch, telling us of his having recaptured CawnPore, talon many gims-26 in number—after a hard fight of 3 hours and 40 minutes. Some of the guns are siege ones. But the unfortunate women andr, children had all been murdered by order of the -"a.jah Nena Sahib before the fight commenced. At first there must have been 500 women and children, all starved out and afterwards ill-treated, sold by auction, and finally murdered. It. is horrible to think of their fate. Four companies of the 78th ilighlanders, viz., Grenadiers, No. 3,6, and Light, ale the only ones with Havelock-. Nos. 1 and 7 are a,t Allahabad, No. 8 at Gazeepore, and the rest here (Benares) with Major Haliburton. They exPeet to move on in a week or ;ess."  The same journal, of the Ist of August, says : We are greatly rejoiced to hear that news Of General Havelock having again beaten that ruffianly scoundrel the Nena Sahib, and taken his fort at Bithoor from him, scattering his forces in all directions, and taking thirteen of his guns. This cowardly villain is now a houseless wanderer and a fugitive in the jungle, with a price set upon his head, and the 78th Highlanders on his trail. Gen. Havelock is, as well he may be, highly pleased With that glorious Regiment the 78th Highlanders. In a speech that he made to them after the last thrashing he gave the wretch we have above alluded to, whose, name it is 'pollution to mention more than is absolutely necessary, Gen. Havelock said—' I have been in 27 fights, and never saw a regiment behave better. I will say more, I never satin a regiment behave so well !' It appears that ill the fight which took place near Cawnpore, Which led to its re-capture on the. 16th ult. and the first flight of the Nena the 78th charged the guns three different times. No officers were killed, but or the mea 17 were killed and wounded. Major Stirling and three other officers of her Majesty's filth Regiment were wounded." The alcutta Englishman of 21st of July says : A plot was discovered here yesterday, and three of the worst characters in , the town, and a banker with • 8 lalths of rupees apprehended. Letters of a highly treasonable nature were discovered ; they purported to be from a certain great one,' and called on the inhabitants to rise and destroy Messrs. Tucker, Gubbins, Lind, and all uropeans. The plan was, that these three were to raise the disaffected characters, and having made away with those I named by treachery or night att,aelc, were to polish off all the rest of ur. The banker was mentioned by name as the person from Whore they were to get funds, and in his house some 200 swords, guns, &c., were found. Gubbins is trying to get some further information out of these prisoners, but I fear they will Lot peach. The banker actually offered the Darogah a government promissory note for Is. 10,000, if ho would allow 2301 to escape. The Darogah played him a pretty 'rick : he told the banker he could not trust him, and that he must sign the note, which be did, and Ras then taken away, note and all, to Gubbins. I ',alley all four will ornament the gallows in a day or  l'he following items of intelligence were placed "Y Government at the disposal of the Calcutta Press  ct • BENARES July 23.—Azioghur with the rest of e thdivision continues tranquil. ~„" Major Erskine writes from Jubulpore on tbe "Lb, all the officers from Sehorbe have safely reached Hoosungabad ; also the following : lajor Macpherson, Captain Ryall, Dr. Lillifant, Cartor, Captain McDougall, Dr. Wilson, captain Lemarchand, Mrs. Lemarchand, and four ~,12ildren, Mr. and Mrs. Haynes, Captiin and Mrs. Barris and three children, Mrs. Capt.
