JHANSI AND NOWGONG.  The following lettars contain very inter:sting particulars of the mutinies of the 12th Bengal Native Infantry and tiie•l4th Irregular Cavalry at Nowgong and Jha,usi  "June 24 "I wrote to you from Sepree on the 10th, which w hell you of my escape from the mutineers of our reg meat and the 14th Irregular Cavalry. It was dreadfu work. I left Sepree on my horse for Gwalior on the 11 h, and reached it in three days-80 miles ; and on the day I came in, the 14th inst., about 2 p.m., they set fire to three houses and the mess, and burnt theta down. The Gwalior Contingent came, and gave every assi4ance, BO I fancied they were all right. However, we sat down t) dinner at the Brigadier Ramsay's, and at 9 o'clock, when the gun fired, we beard, a row in the lines, and the brigadier ordered the officers to go to their regiments. S 3 I went with the Dector, Mackallan (whom I was living with), and the others, fir-t getting our swords, and gave the word that the corps and batteries were in mutiny, and then were riding towards the lines, when some men of the 21 Regiment met us, and said we must come to their lines, as the 4th Regiment were murdering every one. There was heavy firing going on a!1 round the station. They had pickets all over the place t) catch uI. When we got among their lines they bine id away at us from every direction. flow I escaped is marvellous ; the adjutant and myself and doctor were together, and a volley was fired, and down fell the adjutant and his horse. The horse was , shot dead, but ho escaped. I put spurs to my horn and galloped on until I was stopped by a man who fired about two yards away, right in my horse's face, the sparks all about me, but the bullet passed me, and the horse and I went on, and came on 200 men drawn up at the quarter guard, and whom I spoke to, and asked them what was the cause. They said some of the regiments were go ng to k;11 every one in the place. They said we must go on tke top of the quarter guard— that it was the safest place ; but I said if we did we should be murdered" at their leisure ; the commanding officer and his horse were lying dead near uq. The officer was mortally wounded in the lungs and dying, some of thorn crying over him, saying their regiment did not do it, that it was the men el the 4th. We remained some time with them—half an hour ; they wanting us to go int) a house, but we would not go. At last I asked some of the men why they did not let us out of cantonments, and they said after a time they would, so they took myself and the doctor and prevented the men from firing any more at us, and we galloped away towards what we supposed in the dark the road to this place. We rode all night among ravines, and in the morning luckily came on the Agra road. We went towards a ford in the raver Chumbul, but found some troops were ahead, so we turned back and made for a ford 20 miles off. We were from 10 o'clock at night until 4 the next day without food upon ous horses. We then got some milk and fed our horses, and the people said that at the other side men were ready to shoot any one, so we were in rather a mess, we thought. As no one would come on with us, after some conversation I Frs.. miaed, if they would come and see us safe in Agra, we would give them 500 rupees. Seven men then came with us, and we crossed and r ached a bur,alow some five miles off, pa sing a fort and numLers of men :tried, who behaved well in letting us past. We had a fowl, and then started and reached Agra the following night, or morning at sunrise, on the 11th, and the LietiWoLl•
