The rebels are certainly arra in foree, and organized into formidable array in other places than behind the walls of Delhi.

The “ further massacres” announced to have been trated in the North West Provinces, relate probably to events already announced. No new names are mentioned. But the spread of mutiny into the Punjaub district is a very serioug symptom. Fortunately the outbreak has occurred in the station most remote from the general current of revolt, and within the easiest reach of suppression. The infection of revolt <vidently extends by regiments rather than localities, - As yet the only disaffected corps in the Punjaub have been the 9th Light Cavalry, and 46th Native Infantry, stationed at Sealkote, or Scealkott, on the Thibetan frontier. We bear nothing about the immediate events, and may hope that the Sepoys mutinying either did not attempt or failed to sacrifice their officers. They seem, however, to bave plundered » the station and then retreated towards Delbi, but were encountered en route by Brigadier Nicholson, at the head of some European troops, and driven back with great slaughter and the loss of all their ill-gotten plunder.

The tidings* from other quarters appear pretty evenly balanced between success and failure.

from Pictou on Friday evening last, when an English Mail was received. London and Liverpool papers are to the 20th ult. The news of most importance relates chiefly to the pro- gress of the Bengal mutiny, which, up to the latest dates from India, remained not only unsubdued, but the aspect of British affairs was rendered somewhat more gloomy and discouraging than at previous advices by the deaths of Generals Barnard and Lawrence — the former by cholera, and the latter from a wound received at Lucknow. Delhi, up to the 14th July, re- mained in the hands of the insurgents, and throughout the Presidency, wherever the mutiny prevailed, fearful barbarities continued to be perpetrated by the mutineers. Sir Colin Campbell has arrived, no doubt, at his post of command long ere this, and we trust that the next English Mail will put us in possession of intelligence of a more favorable character, and fulfil our most sanguine expectations of the gallant services expected at the hands of the Crimean hero, Sir Colin.

lock, who was marching on to the relief of Lucknow. For the time, therefore, our position is not essentially worse than it was when we had the earlier July despatches from Bombay.

But, in the meanwhile, the resources that we had upon field of India must have been painfully diminished. While in a comparatively short interval we have lost three officers of the highest rank—Sir Henry Barnard, Sir Henry Lawrence and Sir Hugh Wheeler—we must only too certainly calculate that there haa been a proportionate loss in the lower ranks from the casualties of war, disease and fatigue. Although the Bombay army appears still to preserve its fidelity unimpeached, and native assistance can still be reckoned upon in Madras,anm enormous amount of labour is thrown upon every man of the European forces, at a season when the climate itself is killing, and under circumstances which must increase the effects of the . climate and fatigue by the more poisonous influence of inees- sant anxiety.

The first object on the part of our Government, then, must be to relieve our forces, in every sense of the word, by throw- ing in strong reinforcements, and this must be done aagepidly as possible. It is to be hoped that Governor Grey has obeyed the pressing demands from the East by sending forward several regiments from the Cape of Good Hope. The public will ex- pect too that the Government will use the facility that it pos- sesses, and send as many regiments as possible by the quick route of Egypt. One consequence of the unpleasant news from India will be a great increase of the public interest in this country, and an ambition on the part of many men to take their share of the danger and exertion. We know that the civil servants, as well as the military officers, under the East India Company, have expressed satisfaction im being called to

The garrison of Lucknow is holding out.

General Havelock at the bead of 2,000 Europeans has de- feated the rebels in three engagements, re-oecupying Cawn- pore and capturing 26 guns. These actions were very bril- liant, and with very little loss on our side.

Phe garrison of Agra fought the Neemach mutincers on the 5th of July. Our loss was 49 killed and 92 wounded, out of a total force of 500.

Several massacres have taken place in the North-West Provinces.

The Punjaub continues quiet, with the exception of a mutiny at Sealkote of the 9th Light Cavalry and 46th Na- tive Infantry, who took the route to Delhi. They were attacked on the 12th of July by Brigadier Nicholson, and were driven back, 200 killed and wounded, leaving their baggage and plunder in our hands. Our loss was six killed and 25 wounded.

A rising took place at Hyderabad on the 18th of July, but was quickly suppressed.

Sir Hugh Wheeler has been killed at Cawnpore. The garrison, pressed by famine, surrendered the place to Nena Sahib, by whom, in violation of his solemn promises, all were massacred. Nena Sahib was subsequently twice attacked and utterly defeated with great loss by General Havelock, i f

George Marshall, of Cardonagh, Ireland, but was Jeft a widower in 1854. Having received his early education at the diocesan schoo] of Londonderry, and afterwards at the Royal Military College, Addiscombe, he entered the military service of the Hon. East India Company in 182], having obtained a commis- sion as a cadet in the Bengal Artillery. He soon acquired the reputation of being one of the most able and intelligent officers in the service, and, having seen some active service in the Cabul campaign under Sir George Pollock in 1843, he was raised te the rank of Mejor. In tle same year he became British Resi- . dent at Nepaul. He afterwards played a distinguished part im the campaigns on the Sutlej, soon afier which he was mades Military Companion of the Bath, and at the same time promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. In 1846 he was appointed Resident at Lahore and agent for the Governor-General on the north-western frontier. It was for his uble services in the ad- ministration of this important office that he was made a K. C.

Like all our previous tidings, the news brought by this despatch is of chequered complexion, From Delhi we re- ceive intelligence to the 14th of July. The city was still occupied in force by the mutincers, The besieging army had, it seems, never attained magnitude enough to justify anassault. After the death of Sir H. Barnard, which took place on the 5th of July, the command devolved upon Gen. Reid. Not more than 2,000 Europeans were available for offensive operations against Delhi in consequence of the numerous detachments sent to protect other places in the district. This diminution of the besieging force might perhaps be considered necessary to prevent outlying stations from falling into the hands of the rebels. The results, however, is to postpone the operation which, in England at ail events, has been regarded as the turning point of the whole affair—namely, the recapture of Delhi. Until this is accomplished the British public will never believe that the mutiny is in course of being really quelled. On the spot, however, it appears that other duties are regarded as supe- rior, and the siege of Delhi is neglected for the sake of en- Pree y
