RISCELLANEOUS. The storm which lately raged on the Madras coast has been very destructive. At Negapatam no less than 60 vessels were lost, whilst many lives were sacrificed. The cavalry branch of the Madras Volunteer Guards is disbanded. The Delhi Gazette says that there is ample evidence to show that Tantia Topee was one of the most conspicuous actors in the Cawnpore massacre; but that Bala Rao was the most bloodthirsty of all the rebel chiefs present at Cavnipore. Her Majesty's 78th have left Bombay for England. Her Majesty's 61st have left Bombay for Poona. Her Majesty's 14th Dragoons are under orders for Kirkee.  An extra of the Bombay Standard of the same date contains an order from the Governor-General, proclaiming sentence on Tufuzzel Hosein, formerly Nawab of Furrackabad. The charges against the prisoner were as follow:  "let Count —That he, Tufuszel Hosein Khan, being a person owing allegiance to the British government, did rebel and wage war against the said British government from the month of June to the end of December, 1857, and acted as a leader and instigator to revolt in the Furruckabad district, one of the centres of rebellion, during the above period. 241. Count—That he, Tufuzzel Hosein Khan, was a principal and accessory before and after the fact to the murder of many British subjects in the aforesaid districts of Furruckabad and its neighbourhood, between the months of Juno and December, 1857, in the following instances:—  "let. To the murder of 40 Europeans, more or less, on the Maunpoor Kutree or sand-bank, in the month of July, 18457. "2d. To the murder of European lathes and children, with Eurasians and native Christian'', about 22 in all, on the Futtehghur Parade-ground, in the month of July, 1817. _ _  'l. To the murder of Kelley Khan, a loyal Sepoy of the 19th Native Infantry, in the month of July or August, 1857. "4th. To the murder of two loyal Sikhs, names unknown, who were killed with Kelley Khan, Sepoy, in the month of July or August, 1857."  On theme charges he was tried by a special commission, the court sentencing him to death. The general order says:—  "But it came out on the trial, and *as *ailed by the prisoner as a bar to the execution of the sentence, that before his surrender a letter bail been written to him by Major Barrow, the Special Commissioner with the Camp of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, in which he was invited to surrender, and that in this letter he was told that pardon had been extended to all who hail not personally committed the murder of British subjects, and that if he had not personally committed the murder of British subjects he might surrender without apprehension. " Whatever may have been the meaning of Major Barrow in addressing this letter to Tufussul Hussein, and whatever may have been the prisoner's understanding of it at the time, it is certain that on the receipt if it lie immediately surrendered. lie now claims the fulilluient of the promise of pardon made by Major Barrow, being found guilty, not of having personally committed the murder of English subjects, but of having been an Ikecoolory before the fact. " The Governor-General In Council entirely condemns and disavows the act of Major Barrow, in making a promise contrary to the royal proclamation, and contrary to the express order of the government excepting the prisoner hum ell benefit of pardon. But his Excastiol  Council will not suffer it to be said that the prisoner, having been induced to surrender on the promise of a British officer in Major Barrow's possession, has in consequence of that surrender been put to death for a crime of less degree than that which WWI designated by the officer as alone rendering him liable to punishment. "The Governor-General in Council has, therefore, resolved to forbear from carrying out the sentence of the Court on Tufuszul Hosein, on the condition that he shall immediately quit the British territory for ever. If he accept this condition lie will be conveyed to the frontier as a convict under a military guard, and there set at liberty. If he refuse the condition, or if, having ac• oeptA it, he shall break it, or attempt to break it, now or at any future time, the capital sentence pronounced upon him will be carried out.'
