regiment in the mutiny. Other officers also fell with the! Colonel, or in the terrible moments that ensued, for the troopers of the 3d Cavalry poured out of their quarters to join the insurgent infantry, and the whole body, now tho-'! roughly © mmitted to the wildest excesses, rushed through | the native lines of the cantonment, slaying, burning and des- | troying. Every house was fired, and every English man, | woman, or child, that fell in the way of the mutineers Was’ pitilessly massacred. Happily, however, many of the officers | and their families had already escaped to the European lines, | where they took refuge in the Artillery School of Instruction, | Mr. Greathed, the Commissioner, and his wife, were saved, it, is said, by the fidelity of their servants, who assured the as-| sassins that their master and mistress had left their house, | though they were at the time concealed in it. The mutineers | set fire to the bungalow, and passed on. Some of their number proceeded to the gaol, broke it open,.and released the prisoners of the 3d Cavalry. Meanwhile, the European portion of the bri was called out, and marched down to the native lines. It consisted of the Carabineers, the Ist Battalion of the 60th Rifles, and Artillery, horse and foot. But they were too late to save life or property, and, night fallio they were unable, we are told, to inflict any se- rious Foss on the insurgents, who abandoned the station and hetook themselves to the open country. Some of them— how many we know not, but probably a large body—made the best of their way down to Delhi, distant some 40 miles. The garrison of this city was eutirely native. It consisted of three regiments of infantry—the 38th, 54th, and 74th, and @ _—y of one of the native battalions of artillery. On the arrival of the mutineers from Meerut the whole of the imfantry force ran to arms, and forced, as we are told, the reluctant artillery to join them. The latter stipulated for the safety of their officers, all of whom accordingly reached Meerat. The infantry showed no such good feeling, but attacked their officers, though with different degrees of inveteracy, the 38th being the worst. Then the insurgents rar riot trough the city, which was entirely at their mercy, and the y scenes of Meerut were reproduced in the streets of this ancient Mogul capital. How many English tives have here been lost will in all probability not be fully known till the day of retribution has arrived, and the place is again in Our possession. aving thus got rid of all the English in the city, the in-

~urgents proceeded to proclaim some offshoot of the old

‘gyal house Sovereign of India, and in this position, with

2 town and its treasure at their disposal, but, as we shall svesently see, no further rising or influx of mutineers to assist them, they await their inevitable doom. But to revert to Meerut. On the evering of the 16th occurred the murder of Capt. Fraser, whose name appears in the list. This officer was Commandant of the Bengal (Native) Sappers and Miners. He was marching down from the headquarters of his corps at Roorke to Meerut, with a body of his men. On reaching their destination the Sappers fell out among themselves, pro- bably in discussing the propriety of following the mutinous example that had been set them, and when their commanding officer attempted to compose their quarrel one of their number shot him through the head. They then broke and fled, but were pursued hy parties of the Carabineers and 60th, and for the most part killed or captured. Since this occurrence Meerut has been tranquil. Fears have been ente: tained that the Convent at Sirdhana with its children’s school might be attacked and devastated, a party was sent out from Meerut, which brought in all the nuns and children to a safe asylum at the station.

Faentroc Banparitizs of tor Resere—Bornine or THe Muxpener or Mas. Campret.t—BLowine UP oF THE Decmt Macazine with a THousanpn or Tue Kesets.— The following particulars are given by the Kev. T. O. Smyth, M. A., Chaplain of Meerut :—* | was driving down to church for the 7 p. m. service, and met on my way two of Her Majes- ty’s 60th Rifles covered with blood and supported by their comrades. On reaching the church I found buggies and car- riages driving away in great confusion, and a body of people runing to me and puinting toa column of fire and smoke in the direction of the city. Frequent shots were then heard, and the distant cries of a large mob. My Colleague, the Rev. Mr. Rotton, and his wife, came up at the moment ; but, finding that the people had all gone back, we abandoned the thought ot commencing divine service, and I drove home. I reached my house (which [ share with Mr. and Mrs. Bicknell, of the Horse Artillery), in perfect safety, but found from them that the Sepoy guard at the Brigadier’s (close at hand) had, shortly before, fired a shot, which passed between them while they were standing atthe gate of their compound. We went together, just after my return, mto the western verandah, and heard a shot in the adjoining road, followed by a cry aad the galloping off of a horee with a buggy. ‘This proved to have been the murder of Mr. Phillips (veterinary surgeon of the 34 Light Cavalry), who was shot und mutilated by five troopers. ‘I'he inhabitants of the Suddur Bazaar and city committed ‘atrocities far greater than those of the Sepoys, as in the case of Capt. McDonald's wife, whom they pursued some distance and frigh'fully mutilated (theugh her children were happily all saved by the ayal:’s), and of Mrs. Chambers, wife of the Adjutant of the Iith Native Infantry, who was murdered in her garden during Mr. Chambers’ absence on duty, her clothes having been set on fire before she was shot, and cut to pieces. Mre. Chambers’s murderer was caught on the 15th, tried at once, and hanged on a tree without further delay, his body afierwarde being burnt toashes. Among other instances of frightful butchery was that of Serjeant Law, his wife, and six children, who were living beyond the precincts of cantonments. The state in which the father and three of the infants were found defies description. Happily the mother and three other chiidren, though grievously mangied, crawled about midnight to the Artillery Hospital, and it is hoped will recover. Mr. Rotton and I have buried 31 of the murdered, but there are others whose bodies have not as yet been brought in. The 1th Native Infantry, who not only refrained from murdering their officers and burning houses, but protected the ladies children of the corps, remaining in the neighbour- hood ; 120 of these have returned, and it is thought that many more of them wil! do 80, a proclamation of pardon, under the ci having been sent tothem. The rebels at Dejhi have failed, it is said, in inducing the neighbouring rajahs to jointhem. They are reported to be fighting among themselves ; and the city, I suppose, is in a state of anarchy. The soldiers are burning to inflict summary punishment on these brutal rour- derers of unarmed men, defenceless women, and innocent children. The Delhi magazine was defended for some time by certain Europeans, but at 3 p. m., on the 12th inst., when the insu had succeeded in effecting an entrance, the place was blown up with a terrific explosion by Lieutenant G. D. Willoughby, Commissary of Ordnance, destroying, itis thought, some 1,000 of the rebels. That gallant officer escaped for the time to the main guard. His fate at present remains uncertain, but hope is entertained of his safety. Not a single European or native Christian is left alive in Delhi or the neighbourhood. The officers and overseers of the Haupper stud, with their wives and families, escaped on the evening of the 13th inst., and reached Meerut the following inorning without molestation.

Exoutsa Gattanrry at Detwt.—Lieutenant J. J. Eck- ford, of the 6th Native Infantry, holding an Engineer appoint- ment at Meerut, defended his treasury against the mob for a considerable time, his wife and family hiding in the garden. The house at last was set on fire, and Mr. Tick ord severely wounded on the left temple. He remained insensible for a considerable time (aftcr destroying several of his assailants), while the premises were in flames, but miraculously escaped, after some hours, with his wife, child, and sister-in-law. He is now out of danger on account of his wound. This gallant young officer killed, with his owa hand, four of the mutineers, as they, one after another, sought to take his life.

Rosu vor Revonvess ar Caucurra.— Yesterday,” says the Phaniz, “ more revolvers, fire-arms, and ammunition were sold in Calcutta than ever was the case since the days of Job Charnock. There was a regular rush to the establish- ment of Messrs. Ahmuty and Co., so much so that purchasers

sale of revolvers of ali sizes took place, as well as of other | descriptions of weapons, offensive and defensive. The prine| cipal purchasers, we understand, were residents of Howrah, | who in self-defence against the possible attacks by Sepoys had hastened to arm themselves.”

Fatat Sunpay Fracas 1x Viratta.—On Sunday last a rencontre took place near Mount Carmel meeting-house, Alex- andria county, Virginia, in which a man named James Birch was shot by a youth named Austin. Austin was superinten- dent of a Sabbath school, and while on his way to morning duties, he was set upon by five or six ruffians, whose princi- pal object was according to the Washington Star,a disposi- tion to prevent public worship. After ineffectual attempts to clear himself,the teacher, a young man from the Alexandria Theological Seminary, drew his revolver and fired three times, the third shot killing Birch. Austin, who, the Star says “bore the reputation of being as peaceable and orderly as any youth in the State,” was arrested, and is now in jail, no inquest baving yet taken place.

Crry Grrr Civs.—This Company gaye two of their Concerts on the evenings of Wednesday and Thursda last in the Tem- perance Hall, As the Club is composed of oung mechanics of this city, under the able tuition of Mr. J. W. Steventon, Professor of Music, and it being their first appearance before the public, we cannot refrain from pronouncing the music of those two evenings’ entertainments equal in harmony to any- thing that is given us by the different travelling troupes that occasionally visit us from the United States. The solos by Mr. Steventon, especially the ‘* Leap for Life,’’ elicited unbounded ees and the several duets, trios and quartettes, were chastely and admirably rendered. We think it is high time that Charlottetown should begin to support local talent ; for it is only under the fostering care of a not-over-indulgent com- munity that those hidden accomplishments, so beautiful in private life, are brought out to view, thereby exciting a spirit of generous rivalry, while at the same time it elevates and ex- pands our better nature. It is the intention of the Club, we

lieve, to favor the public with Concerts every month.

To the Electors of Ward No. 2. ENTLEMEN,—Having been solicited by a large

number of the voters in your Ward, to offer myself as acandidate for the office of City Councillor, vacant in consequence of the goingout of office of James McCraith, Esq., I beg to say that after due deliberation, I have resolved to offer myself for the before named office, and in doing so you will readily see that I am only actuated by a desire to contribute, as far as lays in my power, towards the well being aud government of this City; and from my experience among Corporate Bodies in England, I flatter myself | am as well qualificd us some others to discharge the duties which devolve upon a City Councillor. If elected, you may rest assured I will discharge those duties in a fearless and independent manner, without being influenced by party feelings; for, unlike other candidates, I appear before you not as the feader of any political policy, but upon independent principles only, as, in my opinion, the duties of a Magistrate should be performed without knowing what kind of political or religious creed was professed by any parties who may appear before him,—I say then, should I have the honor of being returned as your representative—and judging from the number of supporters I already possess, | think it is certain—you may rely upon my exercising a strict surveillance over the city funds, I am of opiiion that the improvements hitherto efiected might bave been made at a@ much less cost to the public; and that it is highly impolitic to tax the present generation for making improvements for the future; that a loan should have been obtained, and a tax not for the principal, but the interest only, should have been levied on the City; and thus a greater amount of work might have been performed, and a small sum laid by annually to liquidate the standing debt, with at least one-tenth the amount of the taxation now laid on the ratepayers. Our police force is another branch of tho pubiic service which requires an immediate improvement, for atgpresent they are of little use, and might almost as well have never beeu appointed. They should be directed, and have certain beats through the various parts of the City, both day and night, in the same manner as in other Corporate Towns, for keeping the City in order, as well as for the protection of property. It is evident from the many complaints we so often hear that here are many other important alterations necessary, but it would occupy too much space to enter into particulars here. From my own experience I well know it is not by recklessly squandering away large sums of moncy, the greatest advantages are gained. Ihave hitherto been successful in my public capacity by a strict attention to business and judicious economy,—I hope by similar exertion to be equally successful on your behalf. I may further say, that having served my time under an eminent Engineer in England, 1 am well qualified to give an opinion upon, or direct the various improvements now going on in the City, or that may hereafter become necessary, more particularly with regard to excavations, drainage, &c., a business which formed one of the principal departments of my profession when in England. It is unnecessary for me to add, you may always rely upon my best advice and judgment.

I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, your very obedient servant, July 20, 1857. M & I 2i. WILLIAM MURPHY.
