FUND FOR THE BELIEF OF THE SUFFERERS BY THE MUTINY IN -INDIA. Yeeterday the Committee appointed at the meet ing held et the Mansion Hones on the 26th ultimo, for the purpose of collecting funds for the relief of the sufferers by the rebellion in India, again amembled in the Egyptian Hell, oaths the presidency of the Lord Mayor.

Mr. FOILKEST, the acting secretary, reed • great 120.01bir of batten from meg:strata' and gentlemen of influence to mina parts of the kingdom, the *titers of which tapered their hearty approval of the proceedings of the committee; and isclorad aubseripdons. The following letter addressed by the Secretary of the East India Company to Colonel Henderson was also read : " India Home, Sept. 2, 1d67. " My deer 81r,—The East India Company have given Instruction' to the gwerament of India to Wept amaitares for the immediate relief et sufferers, whether oonasonsi with the public service or not. This of course Is only s tempo's, amtagemeat, sad ought not to interfere in the slightest de gree with the voluntary collection of fonds that may have • wet barmiest slid ba pareasnently mitigating the losses sad peivatkes se ostensively caused by this mutinous out break. " ased aot aware yen bow streagly the sympathies dal' wows hire are Iscited by the heart reading accounts whkh have beta received, nor how oordidly we wish success to the whicsiption for sa object which should be regarded sr nodose'. "Very folthtally years, (Signed) "Jaws C. Malmo. "Colonel liende.ma." The Secasesat next reed the copy of a letter, dated the Bth instant, from the Lord Mayor, as President of the Com mittee, to the Governor-General of India, inclosing atarthsr order for 80,000 mete, which had been placed at his Ex **Henry's &peed in the Beak of Agra for the relief of the peeress. Sir S. Lt:13111NOTON mid he had received a communication to the effect that a auras , of persona from the scene of the mutiny, principally widows and children, had just arrived at Southampton, in a perfectly destitute condition. He therefore proposed that an agent be appointed at Southamp ton with full powers to relieve these persons, and suggested that Captain W. Ramsey, 8.N., should be requested to un dertake the office. - After a short discuesion, in the course of which It wee urged that as the e .and original resolution stood and until It had been amended at a public meeting, the committee were not justified in appropriating any portion of the fonds collected to caws of distress in thin country (the reeolutioa decreeing that the amounts as collected were to be forwarded to the Oovernor-Cleamsl), the proposition of Sir 8. Lambing ton was refei.ed to the sub-committee. Alderman 8,111.0110X1 said that something ought to be done with a view to modify's, the terms of the second reso lution, as it was perfectly clear that a portion of the fund s collected must be appropriated to any canes of dime s@ wising from the mutiny which might be brought under the notice at the committee. It was then speed that s public meeting should be celled without delay far the purpose of amending the resolution in question. The LORD MAYOI asanaosi that the subscriptions in hand amounted to 111,7161. A vote of thanks to the Lord Kara taught the proceed ings to a close. LOYAL COMMISSION OY 1 E PATIIO27O FUND.

TEI CRYSTAL PALAOL The shareholders of the Crystal Palma Company me models of Christian virtue. The ungestetul Public laughs at them for their onfoetunste eqmeulation—unfor tunate, that is, in a pecuniary seese—ead, in return, they give the laid ungrateful public dower show. Flower shows, to be sum, are not now any nay gnat rarity, nor am they in general any very great boon. If they are held in-doors the freshness and plena= savour of the dowers only render more stealing the disagreeableness of a hot and crowded room. If they are held al from, why everybody knows that it is sure to rain. A Chiswickl;te—tbsoretically one of the most delightful things in the world—has actually become • proverb ; and, in fact, considering the colds, and cone= and emanmptions which might be traced to it, one is almost =spend that it has not long since been suppressed ea • public nuisance. Now, the Crystal Palace dower show, in every good respect, out-Chia:kits Chiswick, and It is, more new, perfectly innocuous. Thefite yesterday was In this man ner &perfect triumph.

It appears, however, that the officials of that court have not received any notification upon the subject, and there is very little doubt but that the trial will take place in the Court of Queen's Bench during the November lean The public is aware that no indictments have been at present pre ferred against any of the defendants in the ordinary funn, but the Attorney-General in his of leial capacity bas " in formed the court" that certain persons whose names he men , tired, he bed reason to believe had been guilty of • misde meanor in having unlawfully conspired and combined tog.- thee to obtain divas Image sums of mosey by more of MOO sad tradable pristener. Upon this information the Court of Queen's Bench Issued its process for the appreheaska of the persona named in the information, and Mr. Runiphry Brown, Alderman Kennedy, Mr. Carron, the manager of the bank, and several others wwe wrested and held to ball to answer the charges made against them. Under ordinary circumstances a charge of this chit racier would be properly brought for Investigation before the Central Criminal Court, but the court of Queen's Bench being the highest court in the kingdom, both in criminal and civil matters, having instituted the proosedings against the parties would not delegate to an Inferior jurisdiction the power to diapnee of the matter, and the trial will, therefore, no doubt take place in the court of Queen's Bench, before Lord Chief Jerks Campbell. Daring the interval that has elapsed since the follow Inquiry into the affairs tithe Royal British Bank, it Is understood that a close investigation has been instituted Into all the accounts, with a view to sweeter whether thin is any case of murkier; having been made sway with that were deposited with the bank with written instructions, the disposal being contrary to such instructions. This is made a felony by s 'pedal act of parliament, and Sir John Paul and his partners were convicted under that statute, sad sentenced to transportation. At present, it appears that no such case has been discovered ; but, in theevent of there being evidence to support a charge of this description, it is prubable that a bW would be preferred before the grand jury at the Central Criminal Court. It is rid thin whenever the trial shell be appointed to take place, the defendants will make an applicee I tion to be tried separately, the object of this proceeding brag to confine the evidence to the particular person under charge, and thee exclude ► good deal of evidence se to the fraudulent intentions of the parties and the general combination be- tween them. The application will doubtless be strongly opposed on behalf of the Crown, and it is to be hoped, for the sake of public justice, that no technicality will be allowed to interfere to prevent the whole of the facts connected with this disgraceful ask from being brought before the jury and the public, in order that those lemons proved to have bra concerned in these ominous frauds try receive the paidelt ✓ent they justly deserve.

EPISCOPAL PATIOYA6E. In accordance with an address of the House of Comma= of the 3rd of Await last, " copies of the report of the Lay Sub-Committee on Episcopal Patronage, pro ranted to the Ecciadaatisil Commissioners on the 17th day of May, 1849 ;" " and of a raped of the Committee on Epis copal Patronage, pedants' to the Eoclasimdcal Commis sioned in the year 1850," have pst been laded. TM following le the substance) of the report of the Lay - • " The Act 6 and 7 Wan. IT., cap. 77, sec. 1, prop. 40 provides, ' That such alto rions be wade to the apportion mut or exchange of soclotietral pateonage among the sere' Whop ea gall be °constant with the relative etude and importance of their dioases,wher newly end ea shall sEoed en adequate quantity of patronage to the bishop of the new ewe.' "Tine La Bub-Committee of the Botheastical Commie generator to which the coneidenstion of the above saatamist was referred by the board, having considered • verb*, at methods for accomplishing the object, have agreed to the ihnowleg report " The sub-committee feel peat Milieelty in making any eattefecterj estimate of ' the relative magnitude and Wi th* several diocese.' If population gee might be taken as the measure of that inagnoutle and importance, the matter would be clear and simple • but the utility cc memiesity of powering pitherge deride likewise, to some extant, on the number al the dap, whether ineurebeets or metes. There are some dioceses, too, which posers im pede* of a Meet kind, bearing upon the question of =LT; thus the bishoprics of Oxford, Ely, sod Durham a university of an acclriastical character cor nered with them, and it would appear desirable the on this amount they should hare • peer amount epatensege seeped to them than if population or the number of dio cesan clergy were ha merely to be considered ; again, the 4 parka the church of the bishopric of Winchester render it unseemly to cut down its patronage bedew of the mosely created but more populous bishoprics Thies considerations have Liguori the sub-committee to elmadca the ides of attempting to form an exact numerical war mar taring the importance of tech see, and in lieu thane to pro pose a distribution of the bishoprics into (outlaws, treating those in each class se of equal magnitude sod importance the with soother. The sithrocomittee have then =de voured to assign to each bishopric an amount of patronage, beiag the aims or equivalent, for the Dietaries in each des, bat different as respects the diarist chem. "The archbishoprics and Welsh bishoprics are not M abee In these classes, as the peculiar CirOlilleeMONl of the freer sod the difference of language of the latter seem to require that they should be separately considered.

In seder more easily to explain the scheme for the dis tr(hntioaatthe episcopal patronage, framed according to the principds•bees eatlissil, the sub-conneeities have prepared the to i 1 =lv (C), and (D). " Table ( sheers die number of livings the patronage of which heisa jle :o each ma, and the diocese in which living Is situate. The Teetical columns will show the puma am of livings in the patronage of each bishop, and whitlow within his own or some other aced which diocese; the honsental, the number of livings in each Ikon which are in the patronage of its own or some other sad which bishop. The principal diagonal line of figures contains the comber of livings which are in the patroneg• of the bishop in whose diocese they are locally situate. All the rest are situate in one diocese, and the patronage belongs to the bishop of some other diocese. o " Table (II) shows the endowed dignities in the patronage of each archbishop and bishop. " This naturally leads the subcommittee to observe on the advantage of the patronage being exert:Wed by the bishop within whose deposes the living is elevate. Where thie is not the cam, if the bishop wishes to reward a deserving minister of his diocese, he loses the Meantime of his further sad . by giving him • living out of the diocese ; snd when the li ving Is not such as to render it a reward of merit, and the only object is to find a suitable person to place in tt, the bishop of the diocese where it is situate, who is most likely to know the state of the population, and other local circumstances, lac., could more mime:eerily provide for it then any other biehop. In rearranging the patronage, therefore, the sub committee conceive that it would be right to keep in view, as en Important principle, the giving the patronage to the When within whose diocese it I, locally situate. It is On- sue, however, that the principle 'mat not be adhered to so Mrkely as to prevent the fulfilment of the duty of arranging the patronage according to ' the relative magnitude and im portance of the dioceses.' " Although, therefore, the sub-committee feel very reluc tant to suggest ermogements which may remove into the patronage of the bishop of the diocese (A) livings locally situate in, and in the patronage of the bishop of diocese (li), yet such must be the ease in fulfilling the intentions of the act, in consequence of the locally unequal distribution of epis copal patronage. 4 . With them profs:story explanations and remarks, the eub.committep propose to the board for their tonaideration • scheme arranged in table (C), which conteins the various 1 permutations of patronage requisite or expedient in order to produce the proportional distribution contemplated. " The general :milts of the scheme will be found in table atli n proposing the arrangements indicated in tables (C) and (I)) the sub-comueittee deem it right to call the attention of the board to the following points: " Ist. That under the new arrangement the patronege belooging to a large portion of the bishoprica will be confined to the limits of their respective dioceses. " 2nd. That with respect to the various transfers of patron age which appear to require to bo made they will for the most part be transfers of patronage to the diocese wherein it is locally situate, or tramline of foreign patron. age from one diocese to another diocese. There are, how ever, instances in which it is necessary to transfer to another &mem patronage from the diocese in which it is situate sad to which it belongs. These instances ere inevitable, es before has been noticed, owing to the great inequality of patronage as at present fondly distributed. " Upon this point it may further be remarked, that with respect to the are of London, which under the proposed w- LIEETent will have penalties in severed different dioceses, hop well continue thus to have the opportunity of transferring to rural pari.hca clergy whose Labours in the louden parishes way render such a transfer desirable for their personal welfare. "3rd. The arrangement is based upon the number of the dignities and livings; but regard has also been had to their annual value. - " The mama vetted of the patronage in each elan will be Mad to approach an average, with some exceptions. "It will be perceived that is London, Durham, Ely, and Oxford, the average Is consiticesbly higher than in any of the other sues. Raving regard, however, to the special peculia rities of these sees, the ineq uality appears to be of minor ins. parlance. " The proximity of Winchester end Rochester dioceses to the metropolis appears to render the higher average valor of their prefenuent rather advantegeous then objectionable. The other deviations from the average do not seem to re quire petit-e'er notice. " 4th.

RUSSIAN TROPIIIIB. BATH, WEDNESDAY. To-day, the anniversary of the fall of Sebeetopol, the two Russian gone presented to the city by Lord Pan nier were thangurstad with all the .• pomp and circum stance" which could be applied to mach an occasion. A public monument has already been erected in one of the prin cipal cemeteries to those connected with the city who fell in the Crimea, and after deliberation it was decided that the most fitting place for the Remise guns would be beside the Victoria Monument, in the Royal Victoria-park, which is one of the greatest attractiona and resorts, both to inhabi tants and visitors. The guns have been in the city for some time poet, end were mounted upon carriages conformed to the models at Woolwich, by the liberality of Mt. J. Wilk. liras, of Bath. The proceeding. commenced to-day by the formation of a procession at Mr. Williams's works, on the quay. Thermopile of person, thronged the enter and excursion trains from aB the neighbouring towns poured forth their complement of visitor.. From an early hour the church belle rang cannons boomed, and numerous demi were suspended from the homes is the principal trading streets.

The procadon wee flanked throughout its march by the Bath troop of the North Somerset Yeomanry cavalry, and wee composed r follows :—An advance guard of the North Somerset Yeomanry cavalry_ ; peed trophy of flags, about 20 feet high, with shields bearing the mass of the principal Crimean engagements, with appropriate mottoes; body of police, Hanoverian band, corporation and council, park com mittee, Hanoverian band eonamittee, bend of the Nark Somerset Yeomanry cavalry, °Seers of the army and navy, Crimean invalids, one of the gnus mounted upon a carriage covered with crimson dot and drown by nine eplendid grey horses, and flared by art' ; th e other gun, drawn by nine bey horses, decorated wi flowers ; drums and fifes of the Second Somerset Militia ; company of v.:Wooers under arms, recruiting parties, staff of the Second Somerset Militia, and rear-guard of the North Somerset Yeomanry Car 7. On arriving in the Victoria-park, where sierra! thousands of persons were assembled, the gum were formally crone ferret from the civic authorities to the Perk Committee.

Mr. Williams made a funnel present of the carriages, which, with the guns, were accepted by Dr. Barrett on behalf of the Park Committee. Myer-General Willes, on behalf of the army, and Hear- Admire' Seumuen, for the navy, thanked the citizens of Bath on behalf of their respective Services. The 'on I then moved on to the Victoria Column, on eech side of which the guns were placed in position, amidst Hhen: salute of the assembled thousands, the bends playing . the National Anthem. A of 21 wee fired guns by a party of Artillery, and between each 7, the local company of peurieners tired a feu de .1.4.. The proceedings terminated by the bands again playmg "God Siete the GUAM," followed by rounds of cheering.

That the many attractions which t' is great na. &mai establishment presents continue to be duly appreciated by our middle class London public Is proved by the increas ing numbers which annually visit it. On Su nd ay, Aug. 30, no fewer than 9,900 persons inspected the garden and plessure grounds during the afternoon. On every hand might be heard exprealoous of satisfaction and delight ; and indeed how could it be otherwise, for never hove we seen the gardens in better order than they are at present P Since the lets raise the lawns, which ore neatly mown, hareexchanged their brown and parched apioutmce for a coat of the moot lively green, and the beds lu front of the old museum, along the sides of the principal walks, and in the little flower garden near the great palm stow are literally masse, of showy blossom, in quantities sufficient to be at once striking and effective. Of these verbenas of different kinds, scarlet geraniums, petunias, calceoleries, and ageratums form the staple ; but we also notiogi other plants, such as cuphes platycents„ &c., edged With the compact-growing white keyed cerastlum tumentosum. These looked neat and dressy. Tamse round the pond are elso now extremely pretty; tiny are filled chiefly with starlet geraniums, which are In some eases intermixed with turbot's, calceolarias, and petu nia,, and round the edge with drooping blue lobelia and nieremlxestia.
