Prosprcts js India.—Tho London Times of Aug. 25 sara: “Although the doath of General 'Barnard will probably havo delayed tho attnok upon Delhi; it is still possible, even in tho present instance, that tho fall of that plaee may be heard of, since the Bombay telegraph, which will bo as late as to the 80th of July, while that from Cal cutta is only to, the 21st, has yet to arrive. With regard oven to tho fate of tho Euro peans at Cawnporo there js also some room for hope, although it may be slight, and tho fact of that station having neon re taken by General Ilavolock, and of tho rebels being in flight before him, aftor a sorios of defeats, cliows & positive turning of the tide which can hardly havo failed to oxoroiao great influonco, especially as thoro was now unintomiptod steam communication from Calcutta to Allahabad.

(From tho London Times, 24th August.] ' • The failure of tho attempt to iluk tho States of tho American Union with England by the eleotrio chain is no doubt to bo deplored. Wo mu9t oom fort ourselves with tho reflection that tho failure is but a temporary one. Had it depondod upon causes beyond human control—as, tor example, had tho dopths of tho Atlantic prosonted insur mountable obstacles In tbo way of tho achieve ment of tho ontorpriso—had tho .olectrio spark Suffered any diminution in its power or intensity by reason of its transmission through so long a chain, wo must havo boon content to wait until the advancement of soienoe had helped us to our bnda. The reverse, however, of all this is tho oaso. If the recent attompt has proved nothing olso.it has proved, at least, that the immersion of tho JrireS at groat dopth rathor assists than impedes tho flight of the elootrio niossongor. It has proved that the cable oan be payed out without difficulty when the water under the ship’s keel is 2,000 fath oms deep. It has provod that tho sudden transi tion from shallows to great dopths can be readily overcome. In a word, wonowknbwfromoxperionco what had boon affirmed in theory—that the eleotrio cable can bo laid down in the depths of tho ocean bo itwoon the Old and tho Now World, and that, when laid down, it will convoy tho spark from shore to shore with unerring oortainty This, at least, issomo comfort in tno midst of our disappoint ment. It is clear that bad the arrangomonta on 'board tho rossol whioh had to lay tho first part !of tho cable beon reasonably comploto the greater portion of tho task might now havo been executed, ■and tho remaining portion hare been in a fair way toward* completion. Tho fault cannot ovcu bo laid upon tho maohinory, although this has pro bably not boon the most efficient which could have boon dovisod for tbo purpose. According to tbo account wo have received from tho Secretary to tho Atlantic Telegraph Company, it scorns that thoro was not a sufficiency of properly skilled persons to attend to tho regulations of the breaks—and bonoo tho accident, ft would, of course, bo tbo much to assort that bad tho ship hold on her way some other form of accident might not havo ooourrod, but oloarly tbo unfortu nate snapping of the obnin, as it actually did happon, was duo to this causo alone. On tho 10th tho vessel had paid out 255 miles of cable, and had made 214 miles from shore. At about 0 o’clock P. M. ou this day she was running at about the rate of three knots, whilo tho oablo was running out at a rate well-nigh double tho spood of tbo ship. Throughout tho night efforts wore made to retard tho flight of tho cable, and its snood was gradually reduced to about five knots, whioh rate was main tained until tho tho accident, whioh happened at about four tho next morning. Tho manner and causo of tho rupture are intolligible enough." Effect of the Late News from India, [From the London Times, August 24.] Tho arrival of new from Calcutta this morning, fly# day# before tho anticipated period, took tho public by surpriso, and as, owing to Its confusod and Imperfect cboruoter, it sccpnod at first to bo vory unfavorable! tho funds oyporionood a decline of a half per cont., from which there was a slight ton* deucy to recovery before tho closo of business, Tho announcement that Delhi remained In tho hand# of the mutineers; that Oawnpore had temporarily been seised by them, and that tho hand of two or threo hundred Europeans who had hold oat in the fort at that place, under Sir H. Wheelor, havo most probably porishod ; that Qonorftl Barnardhad died of dysentory, and Sir Henry Lawrence from wounds; that tho wholo of tho troops in Oudc, ns wallas tho Gwaltor Contingent, hove joined tho outbreak, and, finally, that ft largo government steamer has boon totally lost, secraca to prosont an unrelieved oajftloguo or disaster. But it was soon seen that tho news wa* not so bad as It looked, and that itßworst foaturos consist rather of painful in dividual losses than of anything threatening to aUctfthe ultimata termination of tho strugglo. J?ipally, op tfio present as ou tho former occa sion, is tho pogativp intelligonco that is most oUecitog.

It likowiso appoars that Lucknow, regarding which tho most Intonao anxiety prevailed, naa not merely been able to hold out, but to striko a blow against tho insurgents; and although this effort has cost us a life which scorns to havo been regardod as the noblest In India, tho sadness of that ovoutjs greatly mitigated by tho circumstance that Sir Honry Lawronco * 8 understood to havo boon suffer ing frojn phronic and painful disoaae, towhioh, in the cour#o of a few yoars, ho musthavosuocumbed, and that tho death ho jins mc t *uoh as ho most dcsjred. of the popdpn Timco.J Juno 23. Hore lam well and safe, thank B bo to God, who has mercifully preserved tPP apd others from a oruel fato which has ovortakou many of our dear friends. Wo havo had a trying time of it, but, os far us Allahabad is concerned, all is well, for wo havo a largo force of European soldiers, who would fight and boat off all creation if nocossary, and which is bnjng daily inoreasod by roinforcemontscoming np frown Calcutta. ■ We have been so bowildorod late ly that T bor fellows wore out and wo woro inside tho fort, through tho meroy of tho Almighty. Wo wore told off on our guard and had laid ourselves down on our hods (those who wore not on watch), when, about half past mno o dock, we hoard firing in the sta tion, and on tho alarm buglo being sounded wo rau up to the ramparts in breathless silence, iuo firing grow hoavior, and wo all thought that the insurgonts lmd entered the station, and wero being bouton off by tho regiment. So stoady was tho musketry, regular file firing} on, on it con tinned, volloy after volley. “On,” we all said, “ thoso gallant Sepoys aro boating off tho rebols,” for tho firing grow faintor in the distance, as if thoy were driving a force out of tho station. But boforo long tho sad truth was koown. Harwnrd rodo in, briuging tho tidings that the’wretohed bopoys had risen, had seizod his guus, and hud them up to tho station. He had escaped, and had run up to poor Alexander’s camp, who jumped on his horse mid rodo up towards tho lines, as many of his mon as could bo got roady; ho had been caught in an ambush by a body of Sepoys lying in wait in an empty tank, and had beon killed by a muskot being placed to his aide, blowing out his hoart. His poor body was brought in later in tuo night, and I gavo his hand a lost shake, and shed tears over his Inst bed. The officers wero at mess when the wretches Bounded tho alarm buglo to bring them to tho fir™ t down right and left! wrotchod murderers, may thoy receive their ro ward. Nino poor little ensigns, doing duty with tho regiment, wero bayoneted to death in tho mess-room, and threo of tho officors who escaped hoard their cries ns they passed! Poor boys, who had never given offonde to any native, nor caused dissatisfaction to tho Sepoys. Fivo officors woro shot belonging to tho rogiment, besides the mno poor boys. Birch and Innoß, with the sergeant major, in nil 17 military mon, many merchants, and others woro most cruelly butchered—in all «>0 Europeans foil that night by tho hands of tho murdorous Sopoy3. Tho treasury was plan* dorod, tho prisoners released from gaol, and tho work of destruction commonoed. The wholo sta tion was dostroyed, houso after house plundered and fired. What a night! Each moment wo ex pected the Sikhs would turn on us, and then !.* * But tho Almighty mercifully decreed othorwise. n o disarmod tho Oth guard, at tho main gate, and found tho villains with loaded aud cappod mus kets, roady to turn ont! wo had! Five officers camo in, nil having escaped in a wonderful manner—three na «od. having had to swim the Ganges. We were all night undor’arms, and in tho morning laydown on our cots sad and weary, ench moment oxpeoting to be oalled up. The streets of the city are about half n milo from the fort, and during tho four or five following days troops of tho rioters were to bo seen rushing from place to place plundering and burning. Bay and night wo manned tho ramparts m tho hot blazing sun, and day and night tho guns and mortars belchffd forth, throwing shell and graposhot, toaring down housoa, and scatter ing the domons wherever they were seen We dared not leave tho fort, for who knows what the Sikhs would have done if it had beon left empty * However, lot us not broathe one word of suspicion against thorn; for* they behaved splen didly, though thoy ore regular dovils. We lived on m this way till the Madras FusiloorS camo up, and then our fun began. We "volunteers” were partod off into .divisions, three in number, and your humble servant was promoted to tho com mand of ono, tho “ Flagstaff Division,” tho thirty railroad men under his command, right good, stout follows, every one of whom had boon plundered, and wore consequently as bloodthirsty as any domons lieod bo. Wo sallied forth several times with tho Sikhs into tho city, and had soveral skirmishos in the streets, when wo spared no ono. Wo had sovoral volleys poured into us, but their firing was so wild that tboir bullets passed ovor and around us harmlessly. Tho flagstaff was always to the front, and thoy woro so daring and reckless that tho “flagstaff boys” became a'byword in tho fort. Every rascality that was performed was put down to thorn, and in tho end the volunteers gotabaduamo for plundering. The Stkhs wore great hands at it, and, in spito of all firooaution, Drought a great amount of proporty nto tho fort Such scones of drunkennoss I never beheld. Sikhs wero to bo seen drunk on duty on tho ramparts, annblo to hold their maskets. No onoooulu blamo them, for thoy are such jolly, jo- Yial fellows, so different from otbor Bcpoys. . Whon wo could onoo £ot out of tho iort we wore all ovor tho plaoo, outtfog down all n&tivos who showed any signs of opposition; wo enjoyed theso trips very much, so pleasant it was to got out of that horrid fort for a few hours. 1 One trip I en joyed amazingly; wo got on board a steamer with a gun, while too Sikhs and Fusiloers marchod up to tho city; wo stoamed up, throwing shotright and loft, till wo got up to the bad placoa, when wo went on shore and peppered away with our guns, my old doublo-barrol that I brought out bringing down sovoral niggora, so thirsty for vengoanoo was I. Wo fired the placoa right and left, and the flames shot up to the heavens as they spread, fanned by tho breeze, showing that tho day of ven goanoo had fallon on the treacherous villans. The wioked (Uh bad marehod out on the 7th, leaving two guns, aud a Mussulman had sot him self up in tho oity oalling himself the agont of tho King of Delhi, and calling on ail natives, Hindoos, and true bolievors to massacre all Europeans, and many poor fellows who had boon in hiding fell into iiis huuds and woro mnrdored. At last, wbon reinforcements camo up. we all mnrehod out, drovo tho insurgents out of the city, took possession of it and tho station, whore wo havo remained ever sinoo in tho Collector’s house—about twcuty of us; others aro in tho pucka (briok-built) houses that wero not burnt; and tbo Fusiloers and eighty-ninth (Queen’s) in tbochuroh. Evory day wo havo had expeditions to burn and destroy disaffeoted villages, and wo havo taken our rovengo. I have boon appointed chief of a commission for tho trial of all natives charged with offencos against Government and persons; day by day we havo strung up oight and ten men. we havo tho powor of lit© and death in our hands, anil I assuro you wo sparo not. A vory summary trial is all that takes place ; tho condemned culprit is placed undor a treo with a rope round his neck on tho top of a carriage, and when it is pulled away off ho swings. All is now well and quiet, but where smiling homos onco existed aro now only blackened walls and desolation. My old house is in ruins—it had just been ropalred for mo—and my little house into which I had moved for a season is in tbo sauiq stato. I have lost nearly everything, though my sorvahts behaved splendidly, and saved all they could. Two tables, a few chairs, throe beds, a few odd volumes of my dear old books, and my silver is all I havo in the world; howovor, my life has boon morclfully sparod, I thuuk God ! My horses I havo savod; I sont them to poor Aloxandor for safety and for uso boforo tho foarful night of tho (Uh, when his Sowars rodo two of thou, and Old Smuggler savod Harward’s lifo. lYhon ho ran un to his camp ho mounted him, and he dashed through tho Sepoys like nn old trump, as ho is. I havo tho good old beast undor mo evory* wlioro, ourrylngon tlio work of retribution. Now that wo havo plenty of men a force is to bo movod up to Cawnporo to roliovo tho poor fellows thero, who aro hard pressed, beingentronohod in u kind of made-up fort. Tho Commissioner, Mr. Chester, sends mo os tho political agent with tho forco, and I trust to soo some service beforo I roturn, so don’t be anx ious if you do nothoar from mo for sovorftl mails to come; my kind friend, tho collector,- will write a few linos to sot your mind' l at oaso. If wo con beat *ff tho rebels at Oawnpore it Is probable wo shall go on to Lucknow, whero we shall havo some hard fighting. I shall probably be away for a month. Fancy marching in tho rams! thoy hare just comoon. If I can koopfrom rheuma tism and fever I shan’t care, for oxcitomont ena bles ono to stand tho sun and fatiguo wonderfnlly. At any othor time tho sun would havo knocked us down liko dogs, but all this mouth we havo been out in the middle of tho day, toiling liko coolies, yotl novor havo beon better in my lifo. Such an appetite! Tho whole country has beon up, and frightful massacres havo boon takiug plaeo all ovor tho north-west. Wo havo not yot heard half tho horrors, for tho daks havo been stopped for three weeks. Tho poor Henry Thornhills havo boon murdered at Scotapore, in Oude. and noorly all the peoplo at out stations, but many reported doad hayo turqod up.

Early in tho morning the'erowd began to oolleot upon Lemon Hill, a plaoo suited iu every respect for that purpose. During the day the people wero divorted by numerous games provided by tho kindness and attention of the Messrs Godard. Among these we noticed tho Polish bath, where all tho competitors were sure to be drenched, and tho Coeoguo mast, a perpendicular polo, upou tho top of which weresuspoaded various prizes, among which was a silver oup. Tho competition was im menso, and it was exceedingly amusing to notice the crest-fallon appearance of tho unsuccessful? It was not long, however, before all the prizes had beon won, though not without some troublo and risk. Every hour balloons, bearing the names of groat American statesmen, wore sent up, which gave as * faint idea of what was coming. About five o clock they began to make preparations to as cend, and towardssix, everything bolngready, the cords wero cut loose, nnd tho balloon arose amid the cheers of the people. Suspended below was the parachute, with Monsieur A. Godard seated upo« tue trapee, manoeuvring until he was but a spook m tho air.

The Recent Fatal Collision on the Camden and Atlantic Railroad*—’Examination of Wit' nesses before Coroner Rudd, at Cooper's Pointy Camden,—Full Particulars of the Investigation. •—We yoaterday gave a full and accurate aeooant of the dreadful ucoidont on the Camdon and At lantic Railroad, which has created suoh n profound reeling of regret, not only iu tho immediate vicinity of tho occurrence, but throughout this en tire community. Yostorday morning tho Coroner’s jugr convened pursuant to adjournment, at tho offioe of the Cam den and Atlantio Railroad Company, at Cooper’s Point, Camden, to investigate relative to the death of William Donnelly, couductor, and John Ed wnrda. fireman of the express train, and the causes of tho disaster which has been attended with so many lamentable consoquenoes. The engineer of tho oxpress train, Mr. James Gordon, being the first witness examined, deposed as follows: t James Gordon.—l was the engineer oi the ex press train down; I left at fifteen minutes past four o’olock ou ovening, the sth inst.; Mr. Wm. Donnelly came to me at the side of the depot from which tho train started, and asked me what time I had; when I pulled my watch out, and found my time to be 7 minutes of four o’olook, his watch six and a half of four, he'made the remark that there was half a minute’s difference, but my watch was good enough to run by ; I did not see him again until he gavo me the signal to start from the front of the depot; I did not look at my watch at tho time I started, after I passed over the Amboy crossing; I pulled out my watch, it was 20 minutes pas 4; I did not look at my watch again until after the accident occurred, but judged the time that the accident took place to be forty minutes past four *, the first notice I received of the ap f reaching train was the ringing of the bell, while was oiling my engine; and on looking towards the fireman he gave me the signal with his hand that something was wrong, and then I saw the ap proaching train, abont ono hundred and fifty or one hundred and seventy-five yards; I was run ning at tho rate of thirty or thirty-five miles an hour; have no idoa of the rate of speed of the freight train; whon I saw the train coming I ran baok from where I was employod in oiling, to the throttle valve -to reverse the engine; I gave the signal of the whistle to apply the brakes; I re versed the engine, but L'.d not time to shut the steam off; v then left bor by jumping off; I did did not know any more until the Water and steam had gone out of both engines; I then rendored all the assistance I could to tho persons injured; I Carried ray fireman, John B. Edwards, off the front part of tho tender of my online; be was dead when I found him; I laid him in the woods; I went back, and found a young man named Low, whom I had carried to the same spot; I then went, back, after tearing Mr. ’ Low down, to soo jf there wore Any others injured, but found no ohe; Mr. Low asked mo for a drink of water, which I procured; I thon was informed that Donnolly was dead; I went to where Donnelly was lying, and ascertained that he was not dead; Donnelly koew me, and said, “James, how did this thing occur?” I.said that wo hod come in collision with another train; he asked me who was to blame; I told him I did not know, it would bo ascertained hereafter; he did not make any more remarks to mo that I recollect; ho was the conductor of my train; I should havo met tho train at Haddonfield; I should havo been on tho turn-out at that place ton minutes before my train was duethote; lhad the right to tho track, and the freight train should have waited for mo; I jumped, I think, at tho time the collision occurred; I found myself lying about tho oontre of tho read ; before I left Camdon, Mr. Marshall, tho superintendent of the read, coipe to me and told me I should meet tho up-passonger train at Winslow. The instructions the ongincer received were here read, which were as follows: ixsraucTioxs. My instructions were to start from Camden at a quarter-past four o’clook, P. M., and reach At lantio City at 6.30, or sooner, if possible, in safety; on the evening of Saturday, August 22d, I run from Camden to Atlantio City in ono hour and fifty-ono minutes; and oi> the evening of the 29th in one hour and forty-seven minutes; the distanco Is sixty miles; was not censured for making the distance in so abort a limo; have been in the com pany’s employ since the 28th of July, 1857; roy buBinoss for the last ten yoars has been that of en gineer on railroads; have been on the Philadel phia, Wilmingtou and Baltimore Railroad; I serrod my time firing, and working in the shop; was engaged by Mr, Gray, tho builder of tho en gine “ Wavo,” which I was running at the time of collision; I came on with the engine from New castle, Del., where she was bailt.
