SUICIDE OF NANA SAHIB.

(From the Telegraph and Cour ier Extraordinary,) _> , * ;yjjßonibay, 30th September, 1857. DELHI FELL ON THE 18th SEPTDMBER. The loss on both sides is immense. The whole of.tlie city is in our posies sion. Sindiah has joined us against the rebels with 15,000 troops. m

(From the Madras Spectator, October T) We regret to record the death of Major- General Clough of the 28th N.I. The melancholy event occurred at Bangalore on the 3rd inst. In addition to the European and -Native Cavalry already «ent on from Secunderabad, the Ist N. 1., under Colonel Carpenter, have also been pushed on towards Kamptee. Our Deccan contemporary has heard that the Joudpore Rajah has met with a reverse in an attack which he recently made upon his mutinous legion with a number of newly raised levies. The mutineers beat off these levfei with heavy ioas, and. in the action the Rajah's

min ister was-killed. Our contemporary -atep , mentions that a letter 1 had been reoeiVed from Mhow from an officer of the Guide Corps at Delhi, in which it was stated that 7000 of the mutineers and rebels had been cut up by the force under General Wilson during and since the final assault. The Bengal paper* received yesterday mention that the 60th NX hare followed the general example and broken out. Six hundred men have joined Kooer Singh's force, and one hundred and seventy are still with the officers ot the corps, who are reported to be safe at a place thirty miles from Nagode. A battle, it is expected, will shortly be tought at Sasseram on the Grand Trunk Road, with the Irregulars and Ramghur mutineers. The ' Pheenix ' states that Nagode is in the h finds of the insurgents, who hid plundered the treasury of three lakhs of rupees. The European resident? hod made their escape, and had by the last account taken refuge in a dark bungalow and were in hopes of falling in with a party of Madras troops. It is unfortunate that the small party of fugitives have two or three ladies among them, who were not in time for coming down to Calcutta, when the other ladies of the station did so. Tnere is every reason to hope that the party will succeed in effecting their escape in perfect safety.
