The Court, however, found the prisoners guilty, and sentenced them to death; and, accordingly, they were shot by a party of the 60th Rifles. Detiehments of Rifles, Artillery, Sappers, and Goorkhas were present, and a great umber of spectators. The bodies were cast into the Jumna

The prec’se number of men slain and wounded at Delhi stands as follows :—During the assault, 1,170 men and 66 officers ; during the siege and assault, 4.000 men and 220 officers, The original force was only 3.000 men and 160 ¢ilicers, and the number of' officers never reached 400,

A TERRIBLE INDIAN EXECUTION,

We have been favoured with the followiug graphic account of 2 public execution in India :—

“ AnmepsBap, Ocr. 26—TI have just returned from witnessing a sight of which not many months ago it would have sickened meeven tohear. Eighteen men were sentenced to death. They -suffered this morning. When I reached the ground the bugles were sounding, and there was little to be seen but the gallows with 10 nooses, and the miserable prisoneas seated in a double row in frout of it. The regi- went in which the mutiny occurred was the first to take up its ground, opposite to the gallows. The other native regi- ment drew up at right-angles to it, and the English regimeuts, behind the gallows, completed the third side of a square, Between them were four guas, At the fourth side weie drawn up five guns, pointing outward, across the flat leva. To these the sentenced men were to be bound. ‘The area of the square was now covered with mounted officers, a few civilians, the General and his staff. The whole 18 prisoners were marched before the native regiments, and their offence and sentence read in a clear voice, which reached all spec- tators. This over, the last terrible preparations were com. menced, The 10 mounted to their place on the drop, and stood there white and shadowy against the pale sky, but firm and quiet, their faces hidden in white caps. A firing party of 12 moved up to a spot within 20 yards of the place where [ stood, facing outwards, as the guns did, but behind them, further back into the square. The three men who were to be shot were placed in front, and fearfully near them, not more than 12 paces from the muzzles of the muskets. They knelt down, their eyes were bandaged, and their hands tied, Meanwhile the doomed five had been marched to the five iatal guns, They were bound by the arms to the wheels |-us their legs were free, aud the end iman—the only one whom I could entirely see from my place on the fank—leaned bis back against the muzzle, as loungers lean against a mantel-

MUTINIES IN RAJPOOTANA, AND MURDER OF MAJOR BURTON AND | HIs SONS.

| Our intelligence from Rajpootava is unsatisfactory. Major Burton, Political Agent at Kotah, who had beep residing with his family fora short time at Neemuch, returned to the | Residency, accompanied by his two sons, on the loth of October, fortunately leaving the rest of his family behind ‘him. He had caused a roya! sulute to be fired in honour of | the fall of Delhi, and the policy of the insurgent leaders ‘everywhere being to ignore this event, aud try to have it 'believed that their cause is in the ascendant, exclaimed that ‘the Resident was deceiving the people, and ought to be de- )stroyed. The usual exchange of courtesies had taken place jon the 14th, and the following day, at noov, the two regi- ‘ments mutinied, The Residency was attacked accordingly, ‘and the Re-ident, with his two sous, while gallantly deteud- ing themselves, were slaughtered, After the tnurders, the premises were plundered, and the bodies of the unfortunate | victims exposed. The Rajab covtinues faithful to us, and ' anxiously waits for assistance. The bulk of his army, con- ‘sisting of four regiments of infantry, with all his artillery, had turned against him. They proposed proceeding to Deihi | to assist in the resioration of the King, disbelieving, as most | of the disaffected did, is the fall of that capital. For many ‘months past, Neemuch has been one of the centres of disaf- fection in Rajpootana, About the middle ot October the rebels began once more to gather round it from all directions, a body of them concentrating at Jeerum, with a view of ate tacking the garrison. On the 24th, the Neemuch column mo ved out to meet them, and attacked them in front of their stronghold. The batile was severe, and our casualties heavy, Capt. Tucker, of the 2nd Bombay Cavalry, and Capt. Reade, of H. M.’s 88rd Foot, were killed. Capt. Simpson, Lieuts.
