Throughout the passage the Vanderbilt enconn- tered severe adverse weather. At 1 P. M. 22d inst., she saw a lsrge steamship standing east. The anxiety of the merchants and bankers of Li, yerpool and London to have the news by the Van- derbilt reach New York before the arrival of the Atlantic was very great, and at their urgent solicita- tion Captain Higgins made every effort to accom- plish that object. On the 21st inst. he spoke the Hamburg brigantine Alfred, delivering thereto im- portant despatches; and on the following day de- layed many hours off Cape Race searching for the news yacht of the Associated Press, but not succeed- ing in finding her, proceeded to Tripassy Harbor, and off that port chartered a schooner to run in with the duplicates. The financial crisis had been severely felt at St. Petersburg, and silver coin was excessively scarce. The price of everything but meat was extortiqpate. Her Britannic Majesty's ship Scourge left Lisbon for England on the 9th instant. She comes from the coast of Africa to report to the British government that several vessels are on that coast, fitted out as slavers, with Spanish crews, who sail under the United States flag. The question that is about to be raised is, whether under the present treaty between Great Britain and the United States, English cruisers have a right to search and seize such vessels. ‘The Swiss government obtained a victory over the opposing coalition at Neuchatel on the Sth instant. ‘The decree of the Grand Council on the basis of the representation was rejected by 6,115 votes to 5,847. The Legation Chamber of Belgiam was opened on the 10th instant. The new ministry, as previously named, had been officially announced. The Czar’s visit to Poland had been officially an- nounced to have produced an order that Polish is to be the language of tuition employed in all the old Provinces of Poland. ‘The Sublime Porte had forwarded a second note protesting against the union of the Principalities. M. Abbatucci, the French Minister of Justice, died on the 1ith, in the 65th year of his age, from an ab- acess in the intestines. The rumored attempt on the life of the Shah of Persia has been contradicted on official authority. Marshal Radetzky celebrated his 91st birthday on the 2d inst, The French Legislative body was convoked, and an imperial decree directs the meeting to be held on the 28th of November. In convoking the Legislative body for the 28th in- stant, says the Paris Pays, the government wished to respect the letter of the constitution; but we think we can state that the session will be a short ‘one, and the business of it confined to the verification of powers. The new session will open in January, at which time the only Imperial sitting and the convoca- tion of the Senate will take place. Had not the govern- ment been desirous of respecting the letter of the constitution, it would most probably have waited until the Council of State had terminated its labors. The Gazette du Sénat of St. Petersburg publishes a ukase by which foreigners are henceforth exempt from the two taxes which they have hitherto paid in the two capitals of the empire, for the benefit of the municipality, viz., a duty of one per cent, which has been charged on the declared capital of those in basi- ness, and a tax of 200 roubles a year levied on non- commercial men residing in Rassia, for each house or property they may possess in either city. ‘The value of exports from Spain in the month of September was 98,723,423 reals, which was upwards of 8,000,000 reals more than in the corresponding month of 1856. In the total, 29,000,000 reals are set down for wine, 16,000,000 for raisins, and 11,000,000 for lead. Accounts from Cronstadt state that English divers had been sent down by the Russian government to examine the line-of-battle ship the Lefort, which re- cently sunk in the Baltic, An immense mass of human bodies were found below. The effect producéd on ‘one of the divers by the sad sight was such that no report could be obtained from him, and he refused to descend a second time. ‘The navigation dues on the canal of the Eider (Denmark) for the year 1856-57 have produced nearly 140,000 rix dollars (nearly 4 fr. 50c. each). After deducting the expenses, which amounted to 44,000 rix dollars, there remains a net revenne of 96,000 rix dollars, or 36,000 more than the previsions of the budget. The Loudon Standard has a ramor that Lord Elgin was on bis way to England, disgusted with his Chinese mission. Advices from Teheran of Oct. 18 state that the civil war in Persia continued. Two Torcoman columns had entered the country, and the Ambassa- dor of Russia was urging the government of the Shah to consent to an armed intervention. This the Shah refused, and bad sent an Ambassador Extra- ordinary to Tiflis, with authority to proceed to St, Petersburg in case of need. The same arrival an- nounces that Ferouk Khan had been recalled, and appointed Sadracam. ‘The Rosdan journals are as nnanimons as they are persevering in assuring the world not only of Rus sia’s pacific policy, but of the improbability of the peace of Europe being disturbed again for a long time. It ia stated that the ukase abolishing serfdom in Russia will be published on the 17th of December, the birthday of the late Emperor Nicholas. The steamship North Star arrived at Cowes on the 19th inst THE INDIAN MUTINY. ‘The Fall of Delhi and Relief of Lucknow— ‘The Kiled and Wounded, dc., dic. do. THE CAPTURE OF DELHI. [From the Bombay Gazette, Oct. 17.] The following account of the last days of the siege of Dethi and the assault of the place will be read with much interest. It is written by an eye witness:— Your readers will have understood, from the in- telligence which has been from time to time pub- lished, that from the period of the arrival of our army before Delhi, in June last, up till very lately, the ‘position occupied by our troops has been in ef- fect a purely defensive one. It extended from the icket at Metcalfe’s house, close to the river on the left, along the ridge facing the north side of Delhi, as far as the Sudzee Mundee suburb on our right, where this ridge terminates—the distance from the — averaging from 1,200 to 1,500 yards. ‘e had from the first no choice as to the front of attack, our position on the north side being the only one that could secure our communications with the Punjab, whence our supplies and reinforce- ments were drawn, Whether the city might or might not have been carried by a coup de main, as was contemplated first in June and efterwards in July, it is needless now to inquire; but. judging from the resistance we after- wards experienced in the actual assault, when we had been greatly reinforced in men and guns, it ap- Coy! to me fortunate that the attempt was not made. ¢ strength of the place was never supposed to con- sistin the strength of its actual defences, though these were much undervalued; but every city, even without fortifications, is, from its very nature, eengy defensible (unless it can be effectually sur- rounded or bombarded,) and within Delhi the enemy ORs a magazine containing upwards of two undred guns and an almost inexhaustible supply of ammunition, while their numbers were certainly never less than double those of the besiegers. Few will doubt, then, that the General in command exer- cised a sound discretion in refusing to allow a hand- ful of troops, unaided by siege guns, to attack such a place, knowing, as he did, what disastrous results must follow a failure. ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE ASSAULT. By the beginning of this month, however, we re- ceived the siege train from Ferozepore and further reinforcements of European and native troops from the Punjab, and it being known that there was no hope of any aid from down country for a considera- ble time, it was resolved that the siege should be at once commenced and prosecuted with the utmost vigor. Our available force amounted in round numbers to 6,500 infantry, 1,000 cavalry, and 600 artillery, Eu- ropeans and natives—the regiments in camp being her Majesty's 9th Lancers, her Majesty's th Dra- goon Guards, Guide Cavalry, Hodgson’s Horse, and detachments the Ist, 2d'and 5th Punjab cavalry; her Majesty's 8th foot (part of), 52d foot, 60th Rifles (part of), 61st foot, 75th foot, Ist and 2d’ Bengal Fu- sileers, Sirmoor and Kumaon battalions (Ghoorkas), 4th Sikh infantry, Guide infantry, Ist, 2d and 4th regiments Punja beng four troops of horse ar- till ery (‘Tomb’s, Turner's, Remington's and Rennie’s), two light field batteries (Scott's and Bourchier’s), and some companies of foot artillery attached to the siege guns, which numbered about forty heavy guns and howitzers, and ten heavy and twelve light mor- tars. The means of the engineers were very restricted, not in officers but in trained men, of whom there were Fr crs: 120 regular sappers. Some compa- nies of Muzbee Sikhs bad, however, been rapidly raised and partially trained; and a body of coolies had also been collected, who worked remarkably well. The park had been at work for some time in collecting material, and 10,000 fascines, 10,000 ga- bions, and 100,000 sand bags were ready for future operations; field magazines, scaling ladders, and spare platforms had also been duly prepared, an¢ great credit is due to Lieut. Brownlow, of the Engi neers, in charge of the park, whose activity and in- telligence contributed not a little to the eventual suecess of our operations. ‘The north face being the side to be attacked, it was resolved to hold the right in check as far as pos- sible, and to push the main attack on the left first, as the river would completely protect our flank as we advanced; second, as there was better cover on that side; third, as after the assault the troops would not find themselves immediately 1n narrow streets but in comparatively open ground. ‘The front to be attacked consisted of the Moree, Cashmere and water bastions, with the cur tain walls connecting them. These bastions had been greatly altered and improved by our own engineers ge 4 years ago, and presented regular faces and flanks of masonry with pro perly cut embrasures; the height of the wal was 24 feet above the ground level, of which however, eight feet was a mere parapet three feet thick, the remainder being about four times that thickness; outside the wall was a very wide berm and then a ditch 16 feet deep and 20 feet wide at the bottom, escarp and counterscarp steep, and the latter unrevetted, and the former revetted with stone and eight feet in height. A good sloping glacis covered the lower ten feet of the wall from all attempts of distant batteries. On the evening of the 7th of September No. 1 advanced battery, in two portions, was traced about 700 yards from the Moree bastion, the right yore for five 18-pounders and one #sinch owitzer was to silence the Moree and prevent its interfering with the attack on the left. The left portion for four 24-pounders was intended to hold the Cashmere bastion partially in check. The work- ing parties were very little disturbed during the night; the covering parties in front kept the musketry at a distance, and except three well-aimed showers of grape thrown from the Moree, which knocked over some workniten, we received no further annoyance. By the morning the two portions of the battery were finished and armed, though not ready to fire until near sunrise; a trench was also made connecting the two portions and extending a little to the right and left, so as to give communication with a wide and deep ravine, which, extending very nearly up to our ft attack, formed a sort of first 1, and gave good cover to the guard of the nches, the ies, ke. For some tune we were well pounded from the Moree with round shot and grape; but as our guns in the new battery got gradu- ally into play the enemy's fire grew leas and less, and was at le completely red. This battery became known as Brind’s, being worked by that officer with great effect till the end of the siege. On the evening of the 8th and 9th No. 2 battery was traced and commenced. To our surprise we had been allowed to seize this advanced ition at Ludlow Castle, within 600 yards of the city, without even a fight for it,on the previous day. In fact, ttle doubt the enemy still thought the at- tack was to be on the right, where all the fighting had hitherto been, and where all our old were located. Ludlow Castle and the Koodsee Bagh were now occapied by strong detachments, porte wo left and formed our chief sup) the | ring musketry, shot and shells vas tl bas- the 9th a sharp fire of opened on these positions by jungle in front, and from Cash: tions, and the Selimgurh, but battery done. During the nights of the 9th and 10th No. 2 was eT and partially armed, but not yet un- masked. It was in two porticns—-ome, immediately in front of Ludlow Castle, for nine 24-pounders, to open # breach in the curtain between the Cashmere and water bastions immediately to the left of the for- mer, and to knock off the parapet to the right and left for some distance, so as to give no cover to the mueketry; the other portion, some 200 yards to the right, consisting of seven 8-inch howitzers and two 18-pounders, was to aid the first portion, and work with it for the same end. No.3 battery was also commenced on the left, and No.4 battery, for 10 heavy mortars, completed in the Koodsee Bagh, but not yet unmasked. Major Tombs was in charge of this battery; the light mortars, under Captain Blunt, ~ afterwards worked from the rear of the Castom use. During the nights of the 10th and 11th No. 2 bat- tery was strengthened, armed and unmasked, and No. 3 battery completed. This last was made in the boldest manner within 180 yards of the water bas tion, behind a small ruined house in the Custom House compound, and under such a fire of musketry as few batteries have ever been exposed to; it wa for sik 18-pounders, which were to open a second breach in the water bastion, and was worked by Major Scott. The enemy also went to work to-night and made an advanced trench parallel to our left at- tack, and about 350 yards from it, from which at daybronk they opened ‘a very hot fire of musketry, which was maintained throughout the rest of the siege; they had previously got some light gans and one heavy gun ont into the open on our right, which caused considerable annoyance by their en: filade fire. On the 11th our batteries opened fire, a salvo from the nine twenty-four pounders opening the ball, and showing by the way it brought down the wall in bnge fragments what effect it_ might be expected to preduce after a few hours. The Cashmere Bastion attempted to re py but was quickly silenced, and hoth portions ‘ol No.2 went to work in fine style, knocking the bastion and adjacent curtains to pieces, Majors Campbell and e, Captains Johnson ond | Gray, had charge of No.2. No. 3, however, did not until the following day, when the full commence fire power of our art#lery was shown, and a continuons roar of fifty guns and mortars pouring shot an shell ‘on the devoted city, warned the enemy that his and our time had at length come. Night and day until the morning of the 14th was this overwhelming tire continued. But the enemy did not let us have it all ourown way. Though unable to work a gan from my of the three bastions that were so fiercely as- sailed, they yet stuck to their guns in the open, which partially enfiladed our position; they got a gan to bear from a hole broken open in long curtain wall; they sent rockets from one of their martello towers, and they maintained a perfect storm of musketry from their advanced trench and from the city walls. THE STORMING PARTY AND ASSAULT. On the night of the 13th the engineers stole down and examined the two breaches near the Cashmere and Water bastions, and both being reported practi- cable, orders for the assault were at once issued, to take place at daybreak the following morning. ; ‘The arrangements for the storming were as fol- OWS: — First column—Brigadier General Nicholson. Her Majesty's 75th regiment, lat al fusileers, and 24 Punjab infantry—To storm the breach near the Cash- mere bastion, and escalade the face of the bastions.

Third column—Colonel Campbell. HL M.’s 62d Regiment, 24 Fusiliers, and Ist Punjab In- fantry—To assault by the Cashmere gate after it should be blown open. Engineer officers attached—Lieutenants Home, Salkeld and Tandy. Fourth column—Major Reid.

Fifth column—Brigadier Longfield. H. M.’s 60th Ritles, Kumaon Battalion and 4th Punjab Infantry the reserve. Engineer officers attached—Lients. Ward and Thacke- ray. At 4 A.M. the different columns fell in and were marched to their respective places, the heads of Nos. 1,2 and 3 columns being kept concealed until the moment for the actual assault should arrive. The signal was to be the advance of the Riles to the front to cover the heads of the columns by skirmish- ing. ‘Everything being ready, General Nicholson, whose excellent arrangements elicited the admiration of all, gave the signal, and the Rifles dashed to the front with a cheer, extending along and skirmish- ing the low jungle, which at this point ex- tends to within fifty yards of the ditch. At the same moment the heads of No. 1 and 2 columns emerged from the Kodsee Bagh, and advanced steadily towards the breach. Our batteries had maintained a tremendous fire up to the moment of the advance of the troops, and not a gun could the enemy bring to bear on the storming columns; but no sooner did these emerge into the open than a perfect hail- storm of bullets met them from the front and both flanks, and officers and men fell fast.on the crest of the glacis. For ten minutes it was impossible to get the ladders down into the ditch to ascend the scarp, but the determination of the British soldier carried all before it, and Pandy declined to meet the charge of the British bayonet. With a shout and a rush the breaches were both won and the enemy fled in confusion. BRILLIANT CONDUCT OF THE EXPLOSION PARTY. Meanwhile the explosion party advanced in front of the column straight upon the Cashmere gate. This little band of heroes had to advance in broad daylight to the gateway, in the very tecth of a hot fire of musketry from above, and through the gateway and on both flanks the powder bags were coolly laid and adjusted, but Lieutenant Salkeld was by this time hors de combat, with two bullets in him. Ser- geant Carmichael then attempted to fire the train, but was shot dead. Sergeant rgess then tried and succeeded, but paid for the daring act with his life. Sergeant Smith, thinking that Burgess pohad failed, ran forward, but seeing the train alig! heap ager to throw himself into the ditch and escape effects of the explosion. With a loud crash the gateway was blown in, and through it the third column rushed to the assault, and entered the town just as the other columns won the breaches. Gen. Wilson has since bestowed the Victoria Cross on Lieutenants Home and Satkeld,.on Sergeant Smith, and on a brave man of H. M. Fifty-second, who stood by Lieutenant Salkeld to the last,and bound up his wounds. Another account gives the following version of this brilliant affair:—The signal given for the rush at the walls was the blowing open of the Cashmere gate, which most dangerous duty devolved on Lieu- tenant Salkeld, of the Engineers. ‘The whole was done by escalade, as the breach was not complete enough to enter without ladders. Lieutenant Salkeld Hy pe jon with three sergeants, under a tremendous fire of musketry. He was first shot through the arm; notwithstanding that, he went on to the gate with the bags of powder; as they ap- proached one sergeant was killed: the second ser- geant took up the bags, assisting Lietenant Salkeld, knocked them on to the spikes of the gate, not being able to put them underneath, as the wicket gate was opened, and about 20 muskets pointed up as well as through many holes in the gateway, firing from both flanks from the wall. As Lieutenant Salkeld put on the bags he was shot through the leg, and fell; the second sergeant lit the match, but after lighting it he said to Lieutenant Salkeld on the ground, “I fear the match has not taken light, sir; at the word “sir,” he fell dead, riddled with balls; the match did ignite, blew open the gate; the third ser- geant escaped unburt. At the si the troops rushed ag who carried the sealing lad- ders of the 2d Fasileers was knocked over; how- ever, they rushed on, joy up the ladders, (many of whieh were found to be too short,) changing their tions, got on the walls, cheered, and rushed jown upon the enemy and carried the place. On they went along the walls, taking the Moree bastion, Ajmere gate, the other column taking the Charch battery, Water battery, Treasury Compound, and Skinner's house. General Nicholson then formed the troops in the main guard inside, and with his column proceeded to clear the ramparts as fur as the Moree bastion. It was in advancing be: this, towards the Lahore gate, that he met the wound which has gince caused his lamented death, a death which it is not too much to say has dimmed the lustre of even this victory, as it has deprived the country of one of the ablest men and the most gallant rs that England anywhere numbers among her ranks. 4th column, I regret to say, failed, but as it ‘was too far for me to know anything of its real er nc cae ae id by r, of sending avague and imperfect ac- Had this in succeeded, its possession of gate would have saved us much subsequent QUERN VICTORIA TOASTED IN THR ROYAL PALACE. On the night of the 21st of September, the jueror, General Wilson, pi the ith of n Victoria in the Dewan-i-Khas, the beautiful white marble durbar hall of the palace, where once stood the famed peacock throne, and which bears the well known inscription, meant to apply to the palace and its gardens generally, and h now reads like a — “Oh | if there's an Falen on earth it is this."’ Here, in the palace of the great Moguls, the health of our was drunk by her victorious soldiers with enthusiastic cheers, which were taken up by the gallant Ghoorkhas who formed the personal guard of the General. THE CAPTURE OF THE KING. On the 2ist the old King surrendered to Ca Hodson and his cavalry near the Kootab which is about fifteen miles south of Delhi, accompanied in his captivity as in his ay by chief wife, the m_ Zeenut Mahal,“ the Orna- ment of the Palace.” The King is eaid to be nearly 90 years of age, and it is probable that he is scarcely in any ep responsible for what has been done in his name, #0 that, as at present informed, we cannot condemn the clemency which has spared his life. He is now a Nope in what was once his own palace. ‘Two of his sons and a grandson, however, who were captured also by Captain Hodson, at the tomb of Humayoon, about five miles from Delhi, and who are known to have been leaders in the rebellion, have re- ceived the reward of their treason. They were shot on the spot, and their bodies were brought back to the city and yep at the Kotwallee or chief police office, where it Is said so many of our countgywomen were brutally murdered. THE KILLED AND WOUNDED OF THE BRITISH. On the day of the assault we had 61 officers and 1,178 killed and wounded, being nearly one-third of the whole namber engaged. The Viret l'usiliers alone lost nine officers, and other regiments, I be- lieve, in proportion. The Engineers suffered heavi- ly; the three officers conducting Nos. 1, 2 and 4 colnmns (Lientenants Medley, Greathed and Mav sell) were all struck down early in the fight, and of 17 officers on duty that day 10 were put hors du com- bat. The loss of the Sey is never likely to be cor: rectly ascertained, but at the end of the operations it is probable,that at least 1,500 men must have heen kite between the 7th and 20th, and a very large number wounded who were carried away. count. Lahore inar, He was his For the complete success that attended the prose | cution of the siege the chief credit is undoubtedly | due to Col. Baird Smith, the Chief Engineer, and to Capt. A. Taylor, the director of the attack. On this latter officer, in fact (in consequence of the Chief Engineer being wounded), devolved the entire super- intendence of the siege works; and his energy activity will doubtless meet with their due reward. out the operations he seemed to be omni- present and to bear a charmed life, for he escaped without a wound. The plan of the attack was bold and skilful; the nature of the enemy we were contending with was exactly app » and our plans shaped accordingly. Pandy can fight well behind cover, but here he was out-mancuvred—his attention being diverted from the real point of attack till the last, and then the cover which might have proved such @ se- rious obstacle to us was seized at the right moment without loss, and all its advantages turned against him. With plenty of skilled workmen the siege works might have’ been more speedily constructed, but with the wretched means at our disposal the wonder is that so much was done with so little loss, the siege of Dethi was not a regular siexe in the same sense with that of Bhurtpore or Seringa- patam, it may yet bear a fairer comparison ith a greater than either—that of Sebastopol. In th the strength of the fortifications was as nothing—it was the proportion of besieged to be- siegers, the magnitude of the apsenal inside and the impossibility of a thorough investment that consti- tuted the real strength of the place; in fact, neither were, properly speaking, sieges, but rather attacks on an army in a strongly intrenched position. THE RELIEF OF LUCKNOW. SPLENDID CONDUCT OF SIK JAMES OUTRAM—NARROW ESCAPE OF THE GARRISON, BTC., BTC. [From the Bombay Gazette, Oct. '17.} Lucknow was releived on the 25th ultimo, and only just in time, as it was found that the enemy had run two mines far under the defences, which, if exploded, would have left the garrison at the mercy of ite sav: besiegers. Its defenders had, more- over, been closely pressed by the enemy, who, doubt- less saw his time running short, and had only repulsed a final and most desperate assault by the desperate expedient of throwing lighted shells with their ds into the masses of their assailants! The advance to Lucknow and the raising of the sie; appear to have cost us about 400 men killed and wounded, as well as several officers slain, foremost among whom we have to lament the brave Neill, of Madras, whose valor and energy had made him the centre of so many hopes. We have yet but vague and imperfect accounts from Lucknow, and are waiting further particulars with great anxiety. There isa report, strongly requiring confirmation, which we trust it May not receive, that the place is again besieged, our force having been surrounded by Nena Sahib with 50,000 men. It has, on the other hand, been stated that the arch-roffian of Bithoor has been be- trayed by one of his own followers and is nowa captive; but this report also needs confirmation. {From Bassarutgunge, Sept. 21, via Cawnpore, Wednesday, Sept. 23.

He fw surrounded by a hostile Foyat tion, is in want of provisions, and is encumbered with wornen and children ‘The Rombay Presidency is said to be inn state of great agitation, and if Delbi had not fallen chere is every reacoa to fear we should have had to deplore fresh mutinies in the Bombay army. (From the Lofidon Times, Nov 14.) The despatches which we print today add little to the news previously received from India. Th chief incident is the situation of Lucknow. The Mast India House has received from General Ontr message to the effect that, though the Residen Lucknow had been relieved, yet considerable disiic ties remained to be surmounted. The sick and wounded, the women and children, numbered more than 1,000, and it was impossible to carry them to Cawnpore without the protection of a larger force As the small English army of 2,000 men was unable without reinforcements, to captare the town, it was thought better to , revictual it, and then to fall back on Cawnpore. We may therefore expect that General Outram has thrown up works around the Residency sufficient for its defence, has laid in a quantity of provisions, left several hundreds of men, and ‘then retired to the southward to wait for reinforcements. The position of the garrison will then resemble that of more than one other which has held its own in the midst of a vast rg dee enemies. While we must regret that it should necessary to leave these unhappy wo- men and children once more_in their dreary confine- ment, it is yet reassuring to be to point ont that, the trial is bat for a short time, hat the danger is far from menacing. The leg@u will, no doubt, have been supplied with guns and ammunition, their forces will have been largely increased, and the Resi- dency well stocked with provisions. If, even then, the force of General Outram should retire the garvi- son would be able to hold the place until it should again be able to make its way from Cawn pore. Allthe anxieties which attended the block- ade of the place, as long ax the building was weak and the defending force insufficient, may now pass away, and the garrison ef Lucknow may be con- sidered in the same position as that of Arga and of one or two other places inthe country. But the fact that Oude is still overrun by the enemy, that Rohil- cund and Rajpootana are in the same condition, that the Mahratta States are in disorder, that, indeed, the whole of Central India is still unquiet, shows how ne- ceesary was the despatch of eg forces from England as soon as the magnitude of the mutiny was known to us. We learn that the Caledonian and the Carthage had reached Ceylon, but oD to the latest dates there had been no fresh arrival of troops. From the middle of October, however, it might be expected that troops would be pouring into the country almost dally, and we trust that with several months’ notice, and with the whole resources of the country at command, the government has made arrangements for sending the reinforcements as quickly as Pag to the seat of The naval belgade, under Captain Peel, had reached Mirzapore, and, whether the heavy guns be useful or not, there can be no doubt that the 400 blue jackets will be able to render good service. The news from the country generally is extremely good. THE EMEUTE AT NANDOOR. THE DEATH OF CAPT. J. W. HENRY—‘ I'M HIT AGAIN, FORWARD, FORWARD, OLD FELLOW.” The following is the statement of Lieutenant Thatcher, Assistant Superintendent of Police, re- garding the fight with the Bheels in front of the village of Nandoor Singole At7 A.M. we marched were going there I pointed out to Hen: tulking with Ragojee. Henry cantered up to them, and on this I turned round to Mr. Taylor, who was riding with me and said‘ Henry's foing will cause a fight; he had better leave the niggers (meaning the officials who were parleying with Ra gojee) alone.” halted the men under some trees at a distance of about a mile trom where parleying was going on. 1 did this by Henry's order. Shortly after a sowar galloped up with orders for me to advance. I brought the men up to Henry, and asked him how it (the conference) had ended. He said Ra- gojee had refused to come, and pointed me out a scarped hill which he said we were to attack. He drew the men up ina single file, and sent me with sowars to the left flank to examine the enemy's position. I did so, and reported to him that no men were visible to the extreme left. Lagain ited out my objections, in military pointof view, to attack at the proposed place, and showed him another ir of the fin of easy ascent, but it was in vain, Henry ordered the advance, and desired me to take the left, while he took the right of the line. We advanced, Henry and myself on horseback. The position of the enemy was # most difficult one, being a high hill, with a scarped rock. On the top of the searp, con- cealed among rocks and bushes, were numbers of matehlock men. The first shot was fired by the evemy, and was evidently aimed at Henry. It misted him, and hit a man in the rear of him, Lieutenant Henry, in a loud voice, ordered “Charge bayonets.” We rode together in advance of the men. At a distance of about forty yards the enemy gave us a tremendous volley. ding we could ride no higher, we simultaneously dismounted. Henry drew his revolver, and | my sword. We both took off our hats and cheered on the men, which was answered by a tremendous yell from our own men. We rushed to the top of the hill, together with about fourteen of our men, about twenty yards m Nandoor, and as we the officials to my right re Henry pointed his revolver at a man, and I said, “ Your pistol is not cocked.” He pn it down, staggered against me, and said, “ I'm itin the shoulder, but never mind me—go on, old fellow!’ He jumped up again, find: ing our pistols useless, we each took a muske: from the men who had then come up. We pty on to the searp, and inted both oar mus ets at one man, who evidently been watching the path. We went up; po again called out “Good God! I’m hit and fell. The man who fired this last shot was, I believe, shot by me just as Hen: —_ I knelt down by Henr 5 and asked him if he was mortally wouned. He said, “Forward, old fellow, forward!” Seeing | could do no good,! pulled him out of the line of fire. I then, with 14 or 15 men, two stron, hills on which the enemy were strongly ba ba and made — master of the position. t after this lasted upwards of an hour, when Mr. Taylor sent me a message by a native officer that T was being outflanked. f[ retired leisurely, exchanging shot for shot with the enemy, until a great number of my men had exhausted their ammunition.
