FYZABAD. The following extracts are from the letter of an officer holdpig civil charge of the district of Fyzabad, in the province of Oude, dated Allaha,bad, Aug. 4 : " Long ere this reaches you you will have heard all about this terrible einettte. It has been indeed an awful outbreak, and it is not improbable that thing_' will get wo se before they get better. " I arrived at F, zahad on the 9th of May, and hoped I had got steadily settled for a long time. On the morning of the lth June, Orr, Thurburn, and I had to ride for it. " We went on from bad to worse, getting more and more unsettled, and before long it became painfully evident that there must be a grand smash For days before the mutiny all but a few, who would not see, knew what was coming, and I asked Rajah Man Singh to take charge of the women and children ; which he at once agreed to do. °‘ Soon after the beginning of our troubles an order came from Lucknow to arrest Man Singh G— was at Fyzabad, and he carried out the order in spite of my urgent remonstrance and written protest. I got permission to release him just in time, and started the ladies off to Shahgunj. Mrs. L nnox and her daughter, Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Mill remained at Fyzabad. The very next night I think the tro.ips mutinied. The Irregulars (15th Irregular Cavalry, one troop), were very bad— wanted to murder every officer. The Artillery and 6th 0 ado Irregulars were also bad ; the 22d Bengal Native Infaary the least bad of all. After a long altercation it was determined that the officers should be allowed to go. They went off in boats ; but just opposite Begurngunj they were seen by the 17th N 1., mutineers from Azimghur, who gave chase, and here poor Goldney, Bright, and a sergeant appear to have been shot, Mid, Currie, and Parsons drowned, having left the boats and attempled to escape inland. The rest of the party got to the Tebsildarre of Kuptamgiibj, where they were well treated, and received 50 rupees to prosecute tbe'r journey to Geruckpore. At a large bazaar called Maliadewa, a large body of arme men sallied forth, and, without the slightest provocation, cut the unfortunate fellows to pieces. Herr English, Lindesay, Cautley, Thomas, and Ritch'e, with two sergeants, fell. One artillery sergeant (Busher) alone escaped. Another party—O'Brien, Gordon, Collison, Anderson, and Percival—changed their boat and got a covered one at Ajoodhia ; they lay perdu, and were not observed by the 17th N.I. Hiding in daytime and travelling at night, they managed to reach Gopalpore in the Goruckpore district, where a powerful Rajah took them under his protection and forwarded them to Dinapore. A third party consisted of Morgan and his wife, Fowle, Ouseley, and Daniell. They were robbed, imprisoned, and suffered great hardships, almost starvation, but they, too, eventually escaped. I must now return to my own party. The troops mutinied on the night of the Bth, but did not come down to the city till the morning of the 9th of June. Oir and Thurburn slept at gateway— Bradford, being obstinate, slept at the Dilkoosha. We had about 100 armed invalids. We tried to raise levies, and, with Man Singh'a co-operation,
