In the afternoon a large body of the enemy formed outside the jungle , and moved in the direction of Arrab , but were followed by the cavalry and horse artillery , which scattered them and drove them into the jungles . Another body which attempted to annoy the camp was dispersed by the fire of some 9-poundera , and the General proposed to attack Jugdespore this morning . " . " Service Message vixozi G . F .

    • which lasted for three hours , and ended iu the bridge being seized and three guns taken . The rebels were driveu back -with slaughter ; the greater part of the city ¦ was , according to the last accounts , in our possession , and occupied by our pickets . From heavy firing on the « antoitment side , which is opposite to the aide on which Hi igadier Jones , coming from Moradabad , would have approached , it Tvas known that another column had arrived , but communication with it had [ not ? J been opened up to the time of writing . There can be no doubt that the column alluded to is the force under the Gommander-in-Chief , who was joined on the 3 rd by the taroops which compose .. Brigadier Penny ' s column . It is . certain now that Brigadier Penny , whose death was rumoured here some days ago , was killed at Kukrowlie , about ten miles from I 3 uda on , where ( as before reported ) the troops under his command engaged the rebels .

On the following day , tho Sth , I inarched westward through tho bolt of jungle of Beehea round to llie villago of llattempore , near Jugdespore , ¦ which was beld by the rebels in great force . I ut once attacked tho position , routed tho rebels with some uUuightcr , and occupied the town and house of Kooer Singh , where wo found guns in process of being made . The rebels were taken quite by Hiirpriae , not dreaming I should advAitco upon Jugdi !

    entrenched themselves .

    The Orient. China. Nothing- Had Been Hea...

    THE ORIENT . CHINA . Nothing- had been heard at Hong-Kong , up to tho 5 th of May , of tho Plenipotentiaries , who were on thoir way to the north . Matters do not look very favourable at Canton . The inhabitants feel distrustful , and many have left the city . Pehkwoi wishes to bo relieved of tho duties of his post ; but his resignation has not been nccepted . Tho IIoppo , with somo other officials , are in custody for somo political matter . A Chinese , who attempted to kill a European policeman in Canton has been execu ted . Tho English nnd French Consuls havo taken up their residence on the Honau side of the river , and the flags of thoir respective nations wero hoisted under tho usual Balutea . Notwithstanding tho uneasy feeling at Canton , a good business hus been dono in eaporta .

    The now opium farm at Uoug-Kong has done much towards extinguishing the buaiiiGsH in fcirupnrcd opium hitherto carried on by Chinese » hippor » iu California . 1 'he boilers of opium arc going away .

    America. V» R Ic Have Come To The End Of...

    AMERICA . V » ic have come to the end of the British outrages question , and the matter has lieen settled peaeefu ' llv . Her Majesty ' s , steam-yacht Syren , having ' on boanl Lieutenant Richardson of the Indus , the flag-ship of the British West India squadron , has arrived at New York from Bermudn , with despatches of a satisfactory nature . Orders have been given wliich will prevent any future interference with American ships , and the Styx" one of the offending vessels , has been recalled ' to Halifax . The Lieutenant has taken the despatches on to Washington .

    General Concha , Governor of Havannah , has assured Commander Kodgers , of tlie Water Witch , that lie approves the attitude assumed by Mr . Buchanan towards the English cruisers . It is reported that Commander Rodger ? , after interviews with the English officers , Las come to the . conclusion that many--of the American captains were to blame in not showing their colours quietly , and'that the accounts of the outrages had been exaggerated . Twenty cargoes of slaves have been landed in Havannah since last March , and in 310 instance have the English war vessels intercepted them . It is again asserted that the squadron acts under orders issued to the shins on the African coast in 1849 .

    Tlie Grand Duke of -Mecklenburg , ' cousin to Queen Victoria , has arrived in Havannah , on his wav to New York . . . ¦" ¦ ¦¦; Mr . ' Buchanan , the President , is seriously ill . The Treasury Department at Washington lias decided upon the bids for the five million loan . 2 , 805 , 000 dollars were taken at 4 ^ per cent ., of which tlie Bank of Commerce obtained 1 , 500 , 000 . The balance , to the extent of 9 , 000 , 000 , was taken at 4 | . A strong military force will , i t is s . rid , be drafted from the troops intended for Utah to Arizona . The paciiic accounts from the former place , given by Governor dimming , are , however , contradicted by the

    military despatches of Colonel Johnson , who speaks of active resistance . The Governor , according to hid own account , was received with the ut most respect by Brigham Young and the lililers ; yet there appears to have been a design to burn clown the capital city after he had arrived there — a design which was happily frustrated . Tlie Mormons , it is said , have left the valley , and are going to a place called Provo , forty miles from the city , with a view to fortifying themselves against further molestation According to another account , they returned after . starting , and intended to attack the United Stales authorities . The accounts , indeed , arc very contradictory , and nothing seems to be known with certainty .

    A fearful gule has occurred on the banks of Newfoundland , at ! ended with immense loss of life and property to tho French nsihernion . Besides the loss of vessels , it is suid that three hundred men perished during the Htorni . Jialtimtire has been visited by a tremendous rainstorm and flood , which d , d immense damage . Horses ami waggons were swei » t away into the fall * . A violent rainstorm lina caused an overflow of tho Mississippi nnd Missouri , which have broken through

    banks and dykes , swept nway houses and other property , and in ono place drowned n whole funiily . The whole city of Cairo lian been submerged . A terrible catastrophe of another kind has alao occurred on the Mississippi . The boiler * of tho steamboat lVnusylvAiiia , of Pittsbnry , hurat on the morning of Sunrtny , June UHli , at Ship Inland , about Huveniy-flve miles In-low Memp his , Tennessee , nnd the vessel then burnt to the water ' s edge . Three hundred nnd fifty passenger * were on board , ami two hundred of thorn uru midsiti } ' .

    Tho seventy-second birthday of General Scott , waa celebrated « t JSTew York on the 14 th nil ., with military honours . It wns the oeciu-tiun of the pr .
