    . THE INDIAN UEYOLT . FcaTHEtt telegraphic intelligence from the East has I been received during the ' . present week . It adds I some particulars to our knowledge of th e fall of Delhi ; but emphatically the most important new s tbus eoaununicated is the fact that Lxicknow has been relieved . This fact alone would take a M-eight off the mind of universal Christendom , were it not for subsequent intelligence that Ilavelock is in a T critical position at that city . Combining the earlier I telegraphic messages from various sources , we arrive I

    at these results : — r " Delhi was . completely subjugated on tlie 21 st of 1 September . The enemy have abandoned * their camp I bevond the- -walla . Our loss in killed and wounded on I the 14 th is estimated at nearly 1178 men , and 61 officers , I being one third of the storiniu . g force . The subsequent I loss iu ) i > c « i » s to have been slight . General Nicliol- I

    ! son died oNWs wounds on the 21 st . Ir .. Orcathed , I ¦ Gommissioncr of Delhi , died ¦ oh , the 19 th , of cholera . I The old King of Delhi , wlio is . saul .-to be ninetj' . years ot" I age , surrendered to Captain llodson and his . ' cavalry , I about fifteen miles south of Delhi . He was accompanied I I bv his cliief wife . Their lives were spared . Two of his 1 sons and a grandson , also captured by Captain llodson I about live miles from Delhi , were shot on the spot , and I [ their bodies brought to the city ' and . exposed-. at-the . I I police-oflice . Two movable columns were despatched I 1 f ^ , « -nolhi on the 23 rd . in pursuit of the enemy , some I

    of whom have gone towards Bohilcund and Muttra , and I i some to Ondc . By accounts from Agra , one of our I columns appears to have reached the neighbourhood of | I Allvfiiui r , and the other that of Muttra , on the 28 th of ¦ September .

In addressing : tbe company , tie Major said that no doubt we had not done all we might have done for India , and in particular we had not sufficiently diffused Chmtmnity ; o * m w « bad done much . The Government had been

    | too slow in its movements since the outbreak ° F _ tae _ revolt , and it had not sent out a sufficient force .
