Indian telegraph, which we publish else , is undoubtedly fraught with tidings of disaster, not however wholly unrelieved. The important portion of the despatch is that _ relates to Cawnpore. At the date et __ last intelligence, the fate of Sir Hum WEIEELEI and his gallant garrison, straitened for provisions, encumbered by a considerable number of Ntwombatants, and surrounded by the mutineers, Jhansi and Maar, headed by NANA the dastardly RAJA a of Bntrrooy.—was peen critical. It appears that before effee . succour could be received, the defenders ' Cawnpore succumbed under these overwhelming There is too much reason to fear that the success of the rebels was signalised by the same un- sparing and calendar atrocity that has hitherto narked all their proceedings; and that thaw Europeans who have escaped from the devoted city been few indeed compared to those who perished. As far as we can make our through the somewhat confused jottings the telegraph, Brigadier liAvEtocs—whom last intelligence represented as invested _ the supremo command of the flying squadron, consisting of her 'MAJESTY'S 64th, (Highlanders), and filth—appears to have moved up from Allahabad too late to prevent fall of Cawnpore, but with sufficient celerity to make signal reprisals on it/ cap defeating NANA SABIB in more than one encounter, taking several of his guns, and finally succeeding in again planting the British flag within • walls of Cawnpore. From Lucknow the worst news is--and it is indeed scarcely less clisastrons than any other which sinister despatch has communicated—the death Sir H. LAWRENCE from wound. received a sortie. Such a man can ill be spared at such • time; but his loss, though great, is absolutely irreparable. No higher or jester encomium can be pared on the officers of our Indian army than to say, that even such a death as that of .e 11. LAWRENCE leaves no gap in the rank of our able chiefs in Asia, which may not be filled up worthily and well. This great blow had not in volved the fall of Lneknow, which still held or. and if General HAVELOCK is sufficiently reinforced, I may in all probability be effectually relieved.

That our dominion will be restored, and that the atrocities of this foul rebellion will have to be wiped away in blood, every Englishman knows and feels. .les,nwhile, one short question—is this a time even for the most exhausted of Parliaments to be dispersing in pursuit of partridges and grouse' &ear SMITH used to say, "If you mean to l emimer a book don't read it—it will only prejudice re' The advice is worth remembering. But then yea "lout take are not to reveal the fact that you haw scarcely used the paper-knife. Unless we arc mistaken, our contemporary the Times seems to have adopted the advice, but to have neglected the caution. It complains that the Report on the Purchase Com mimeo, with its Evidence and Appendix, contains a greet deal of speculation but very few facts. The apilion would have carried more weight if the writer had only so far looked into the Blue Book as to swee ten who signed the Report—for we take leave to inform rum that Mr. EDWARD Entree did not sign it, bat intends to make a separate report of his own. The truth appears to be, that our contemporary hes read only the Report itself very cursorily, and the evidence--except that :of Sir C. Taerstemr— not at all. Now, this is really a little too bad. The subjects one of the utmost importance. It is one in which, we believe, the public feel the deepe►t interest, and the strongest desire for further information. Something indeed they know already. They know ;from the history of the Crimean di.. asters that whilst the common British soldier is of the best, and theregimental officers arc of the beet. still military knowledge and experience are denied their reward. They know that wealth and legu me* arc preferred to poverty and ability, that some of the best officers in the service retire in dis gust, and that these lamentable results are due to the system of Promotion by Purchase. We believe that the public fully appreciate the feelings of those noble-hearted mea who writhe beneath the galling necessity of suffering themselves to be superseded by officers, not because they are better soldiers, but because they are richer men. The idea of abolishing the Purchase System is, we are told by some public instructors, all theory. Let as consider the following case, the facts of which are this stated by Sir COLIN CAMPBELL to the Commission:—" There was an officer in tho With Regiment, and my attention was called to the sue by General PENNIWATHER. This officer had bora promoted for service in the field, and he had setae& his brevet majority. lie led the assault at Ming Riang-foo, and though he became brevet lieutenant-colonel, end was in command of the SZith Regiment in the field, in the pre sence of the enemy, a young captain who had just come out purchased over his head, and took the command of the regiment, and he was obliged to descend to the command of a company. This poor fellow was killed in leading his company against the Redan. His name was Lieutenant-Colonel uouDT. The young officer was very young: and la this ease • man of experience, who was fitted for his peeitioa tre that particular occasion, and had lewd Mord( a bold and intrepid soldier, was soperemied be his command by one who, I dare say, was wally so, but who did not possess his ezporimee ; nor could that young man have aommeaded the confidence of the soldiers in the mew in which CUDDY had done from his having",been frequently in the field with them and having distinguished himself as a soldier." Surely this is a fact, and • fact worth noting. Surely this is a conclusive answer to that single argument in favour of the Purchase System, that it accelerates promotion. No doubt it does. It accelerates it by promoting young wealthy boys over the heads of tried soldiers, by excluding able men from positions which they are thoroughly competent to fill, and Obtruding into them youths who are utterly incom petent. If the aristocracy of wealth is still to govern the British army, if the Purchase System is still to subsist, at all events let it be improved. Have done, as Sir COLLN CAMPBELL said, with this jumping over each other's heads—this leap-frog system of which poor CUDDY was the victim. But it is said that whatever objections there may be to the Purchase System, one thing is certain, that under it we get an admirable class of officers ; and then we are told to look at that army of 30,000 men who have just embarked for India without • murmur, though many of them will never return borne, and many of them must lose by death the whole, or the great bulk of their fortune. Let us hear the evidence of that stalwart cham pion of Army Reform, who appears in the Report as M. J. HIGLIN. , , Esq., but who, under the world giunous pseudonym of Jacob Osmium, is currently reported to have sounded the attack against Com misatiers-in-Cliief and their Staff at the Horse Guards se furiously as General JACOB ever sounded it on the plains of Seinde.This eloquent writer was examined by the Commission, and what did he say ? It is well worth attending to : "The Horse Guards, determined that every officer shall do his duty without shirking when the regiment is ordered abroad, say—'No ex changing; you must sail or ull.' There is no mis take in the spirit of that rule ; every man is expected to take his turn. But if you watch a regiment Ihst goes out to India, you will find that in died eighteen months or two years every man tabhss uwaey or influence has exchanged back to Dame. They do not come immediately, because thee who are pretty nearly at the top of their pis wait until they get their step, and then limy exchange back to England, and leave the poorer men to do the duty. Now for an instance : The 43rd Regiment went to the Cape, and then at te India. It was a Light Infantry Regiment, and mar 'considered to be a very good regiment. When it went to India there were eight or nine sons of Perri in it, but in about IS months after it had been thew only one eon of a Peer remained in it, and he 101 got an S attached to his name, having got GB the Staff somewhere. I then looked bull Is see what bad become of those men who had thus evaded the wish of the Hem Guards that they should take their tour of Indian duty, and I found that nearly every one of ' them had fared much better by returning home than if he had remained with the regiment. There was one remarkable case —Lieutenant Onuanov,who was the second lieutenant in the regiment; he com manded a company on board the Birkenhead when she sank under the troops on board her. He was all through the Kaffir war, and seven teen steps under him was Lord Erusee Celt, who was second ensign; and Lord Ennotz CILCIL remained out there till he became juice lieutenant; he then immediately exchanged into a regiment in England and was for so doing selected for • cap taincy in the Guards without purchase, by which h e not only outstripped Lieutenant GIRAILDOT, and all the seventeen steps that he was below him, but he is now actually several months senior to him in the army—the one man having remained doing very dis agreeable duty, the other having come home and stopped at home." This is no new case. It has llsen long before the public. When a powerful karma was advocating all sorts of army reforms, and isooramsing the iniquities of the Purchase System, this story of Lord E. CECIL was the great crucial case, What change has passed over that journal we are at a loss to understand. Certainly the list of wit nesses before the Purchase Commission shows that the eloquent hand which was generally supposed to have wielded a portion of its war thunders is not yet paralysed. The officers who have lately embarked for India may be all of them most ardent soldiers—eager for the Eastern fray—leaving England without a pang; but such has not been the case always. Let us hear Sir JAMES SIMPSON on the matter. lie is asked this question: "It has been stated to the Commission that when young men enter the army, as soon as their regiment is sent upon any disagreeable service, either in India or in the colonies, it is observed that those young men who hare monsyshirk their duty, and trytoexchsngewith otherofficers who are sent out in their place ?" To which, after some little hesitation, be replies:—" At Portsmouth a regiment was ordered to the Mauritius, and I believe at the Horse Guards it can be shown that nearly every officer of that regiment wished to exchange, and I think that Lord 111RDINGE was extremely angry about it." The officerswent out. But Sirfmths adds : "I know that one came home in the same ship that took hiss out, after remaining in the Mauritius five minx weeks." Again, Sir COLIN those:a . m., in answer to a similar question, said : "I had one of the nicest corps of officers when I was ordered out to China; all them men embarked with their regiment, but as soon as that service was over, and they had to remain in a climate like that of China, most of them imme diately exchanged, and I lost all my young friends, whom I so much esteemed." Such is the effect of the system of exchanges—and that is part of the system of purchase. If a man has purchased, he must have the power of exchange. But then, if the climate is deadly, and his fortune is embarked in his com mission, he must naturally, nay necessarily, desire to return home. Is it credible, that if the three regi ments of Guards, the value of the commissions Ia which amounts to 600,0001.., were ordered to Homy Kong, they would not follow Sir COLIN CAMPBELL'S friends if they could? But if the system of promo tion by selection were adopted, instead of promotion by purchase, and if service in the colonies--severe as it certainly is—were to have a special value attached to it, not only would officers cease to desire to come home, but they would eagerly pray to be sent out. Let us not be deceived by the absurdity " that it is good for an officer to know when he lands on a pestilential coast, or enters into the battle, that in hazarding his life he hazards also the future prospects of those who are dearest to him." And yet this is one of the necessary effects of the Pur chase System. Tne horrible charge of murder on the high seas just tried at Liverpool has resulted in a verdict of guilty against HENRY ROCER. ,, , the captain, and WILLIAM MILES and CHARLES EDWARD SEYMOUR, the first and second mates of the vessel. This ver- diet the jury have thought tit to couple with a ro commendation to mercy. To this recommendation, for which no ground whatever is laid in the evidence, we trust that the authorities of the Home-office, as far, at all events, as HENRY ROGLIIS, the principal culprit, is concerned, will show the most absolute disregard. A more atrocious and appalling ease of infernal barbarity it is utterly impossible for the human imagination to conceiNe. It is a case for justice and not for mercy; or rather it is a case in which clemency to the individual would be cruelty to a elsss—an unprotected and suffering class over whose welfare the executive government of this country is especially bound to watch. There is no body of men more liable to gross tyranny and brutal violence than the mariners in our merchant sere ice; there is none whose safety and comfort ought to be en object of such paramount care to the government of the greatest maritime and mercantile community in the world. Unless a signal and terrible examine be made of such monsters as this HENST Ittn.rits, the annals of our mercantile marine will continue to teem with instances of oppression and crime that make the blood curdle, and the heart stand still in an icy trance of disgust and horror. So loathsome are the details of this atrocious crime that nothing except a strong sense of public duty could prevail on us to reproduce them. Even as it is, we must refuse to pollute our pen with some of the unspeakable horrors whose recital sickened even the least squeamish hearer in that Liverpool amigo court. The narrative we present is a bare outline of the facts proved, but it is enough—more than enough—to above that no mercy can in justice be extended to the principal perpetrator of this enor mous gait. ANDREW ROSE, the murdered man, shipped at Barbadoes as an able seaman on honed the nartha Jane, on the 29th of last April, for her return voyage from llarbadoes to Liverpool. The man, when ho joined the vessel, was to all appearance hale and hearty, but he was not strong in his intellect, and, from the unavoid able effect of an internal malady with which baba been for some time afflictcd,was the reverse of cleanly in his habits. This was the immediate occasion of the brutality which caused his death. No sooner had he come on board the ship than for some trifling often°s he was beaten severely. The ship was then in har bour, and the man, resenting the ill usage, ran away. He was brought back and put in irons till the ship sailed. The day after she sailed the beet• lags recommenced, and from that time till within lees than a week of his death there was no day on which he was not repeatedly beaten severely with a rope's end, and flogged, till the blood flowed, with a whip. " I saw him," says the witness 'Nome.: H vvv, whose evidence in creswexamination was not shaken even in the minutest particular, "I saw him dogged every day by the three prisoners. Never a day passed that they did not flog him. I saw him flogged ten or twelve times daring one day by the prisoners, or one or other of them. He wasfrequessay flogged while in irons." He was deprived of every rag of clothing, and compelled to go about the rigging for days ab solutely naked. He was allowed no rations hut bread and water. The poor wretch was in the habit of endeavouring to solace his misery by singing incoherent fragments of hymns. The noise die limed the captain. An iron bolt was forced as a gag into the poor ereature's mouth, and bound tight with spun yarn round his head. In that condition he was left for an hour. "There was a dog on board,"saysTuonas HATS " I have seen the captain set him at Rose. The dog bit deceased on the leg and arm. I have seen the blood flow." " I have seen," says another and equally uneentradected witness, " the dog fly at the deceased, and take pieces of flesh out of his thighs, arms, and feet." The appetite for cruelty in them atrocious miscreants grew more rabid with what it fed on. The day after the in fliction of the iron gag, a still more infernal form of torture was resorted to ; the head was keocked out of a cask ; ROSE was forced into it naked. mangled, and bleeding ; the cask wee fastened up .gain, and for twelve hours the wretched being was weaned in that vile durance, on the shelterless deck, under the unrelenting blaze of a tropical sun, with the open bunghole for his only breathing place. He cried for water ; ono of the sea men gave him some; the chief mate, on hear ing of it, declared, " if he Knew who gave it, he would rope's-end the man." Obviously the force of torture could not go much further, and the end of the man's horrible misery was at hand. The captain one day called out to HAYS, " Come and make a hangman's knot, and we will hang host:." The reply of HAYS WU, " I cannot make a hang- Nan of myself." " I then," says the witness, " saw the captain get a rope, and make a timber hitch ; that is such a hitch as is put about timber. lie put it round ItosE's neck. The two mates were assist ing ; they hitched Bose by the neck off the deck, and he hung suspended by • spar for two minutes." "The face of the victim, while hanging," says another witness, " was all blood-red, with his tongue hanging oat, and his eyes starting from their sockets." " When he was lowered again he fell on his back and lay like a dead man." This was the final atrocity. The poor wretch never rallied. That night he was in a state of raving' madness; eight days after he sank exhausted, and just as the vessel sighted Cape Clear his mangled and swollen corpse was dragged by a rope to the ship's side and flung into the sea. Such, with certain aggravations too revolting for mention, were the leading facts proved against Itocitas and his accomplices at the Liverpool trial. The witnesses gave their evidence with perfect simplicity and straightforwardness : a searching cross-examination failed to elicit any semblance of inconsistency or exaggeration. And this miscteant a jury of Englishmen have recommended to mercy. Mercy! why it makes one's very blood boil to hear the word profaned in connexion with atro cities so merciless. Mercy! yes, the same mercy that ho meted out to his victim is all that ought to be to this abominable culprit. That instinct of wild justice which all the conventions of civili sation cannot utterly put down, irresistibly impels every honest hearer of this vile story to regret that the law, even if carried teat to the very uttermost, can only punish, and not retaliate. Rapid extinc tion at the hands of CALeurr is but a poor requital for the protracted tortures under which this miscreant worried the life out of his defenceless victim. But merry—the remission of the death sentence—would in this case bean unpardonable weakness. An example —a terror-striking example—must be made of this fiend in human form, if there is to be hereafter any security for life and limb for our mariners amid the silence and solitude of the MS. The brutality of masters and mates, both in the British merchant ser vice and that of the States, has long been tending to a climax. The climax is reached. It is time for jun the to interfere with all her salutary terrors. In certain classes of crime we have no great faith in the efficacy of deterrents. Where the man lives by crime as a profession, he will not be frightened out of its pursuit by penal awards ; but such crimes as those of liEntv RooEos are precisely of the class in which deterrent punishments are most efficacious. As the law stands, this brute's life his been mast justly forfeited. In mercy to an oppressed class of meritorious and defenceless men, we &Aland that the law should take its course. LORI) PALMERSTON'S reply to Mr. WILLIAMS'S question respecting the political refugees in England is perfectly satisfactory. Lord PALMERSTON says that no application has been made to the English Government for the expulsion of any of them. This is true; the demeanour of Lords Pautralsros and CLittzstroz, when en attempt was made to ap proach the subject, was sufficient—no application was made. In politics as in love, an icy manner can nip definite overtures in tho bud. Not the less true is it that several French diplomatists —and we fear also some English once—have spoken confidently of the readiness of the Cabinet at St. James's to comply with the wishes of the Government at the Tuileries., in the vain hope of intimidating M. LEDRU ROLLIN, and inducing him to betake himself to the United States. Lord PALMERsTON has, with the high spirit of an English gentleman, and the brave bearing of a British statesman, embraced the first opportunity that presented itself to show the world that he will not incur the risk of being even suspected of counte nancing such a shallow intrigue. Ile gives the Emperor of the FRENCH and his Councillors to un derstand that the English Government cannot for a moment entertain any proposition for the betrayal of political exiles who have entrusted themselves to the traditional hospitality of England. The Eng lish people and Government have the ability as well as the will to extend to political miles that protection which even the much Mr powerful Government of Switzerland was reso late to extend to Prince Louts NAPOLEON in the days of his adversity. Nor will the English people sad Government be mystified and prevailed upon to abandon their hereditary policy in this respect by sham trials and plots concocted under the auspices of police emissaries. M. LOUIS BLANC ,tleD THE THEORY OE TTRAN NWIDIL—We have been permitted during the past week to look over some proof sheets of the ninth velem of M. Louis "Maury of the Revolution," which incidentally furnish a decisive reply to certain charge* recently circulated with ineitetriewi malice against the republican refugee* in this country.

INDIA AND PERSIA. A letter from Teheran, of July 3, in the Pays, states that the revolt in India has produced a great sensation throughout Persia, that several Ulemas had openly preached in favour of the Indians, and that the propaganda would have assumed a very serious character but for the energy displayed by the government in putting it down. At the last dates all was tranquil. Herat was about to bo evacuated by the Persian troops. The reason why it has not hitherto been restored is that for the last six months them has been war with the principal Affghan tribes who set up claims to the possession of the town. News had been received at Teheran that the English had completely terminated the evacuation of the Persian Gulf. Constantinople letters of the 15th (via Trieste) state that Mr. Murray has called upon the Persian government to evacuate Herat immediately. THE EAST INDIA MAILS. (RE ELECTRIC TELEORAPH.)

It saes:—" On Sato day last a dispute arose between a Jew and a Moor, which ended in their coming to blows. A yoangtx brother of the Jew came to his assistance, and wirend Moors ran to help their countryman. The Jolt were beaten and forced to take refuge in the Bourse, where some Europeans were walking about. The latter were assailed by the mob, sad about fifty persons more or less seriously wounded. The mob then broke everything they found at the Bourse, and carried away a sum of 1,500 fr. belonging to the director. Meanwhile, the Europeans shut themselves up in their houses, and every moment expected to be attacked but after two hours delay, troops arrived, and the Moors were dispersed. It is said that several arrests have been made, inconsequence of the representations of the French consul. The Bey is endeavouring to obtain by means of his treasurer, a wealthy and influential Jew, a declaration signed by the Jews of the place. as to the good will always displayed by the govertl- ment towards that race.

OPENING THE SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM ON Sr_VD.AYS. DIPTTATION TO EARL 01 Yesterday afternoon a deputation from the National Sunday League waited by appointment upon the Right Hon. Earl Granville, at the Privy Council-office, for the purpose of urging upon his lordebip the necessity for opening the Sheepshanks Gallery and South Kensington Museum on Sunday afternoons. The deputation was introduced by Sir Joshua Walmaley, Bart., and accompanied by Sir John Trelawny, Bart., M.P. They consisted of Mr. J. Baxter Langley, Mr. Wm. Duthie, Mr. R. M. Morrell, Mr. John Heap, Mr. Henry Hall, Mr. Wm. Medland, Mr. Wm. Allan, Mr. John Kenny, Mr. John Bainbridge, Mr. Wm. Turley, Mr. Alex. M•lutyre, and Mr. W. 11. Cottle. Sir JostivA Watwetur Yid he had the honour of intro ducing the deputation, who were chiefly working artisans, who were exceedingly anxious that en opportunity should be afforded the industrious chases of this metropolis of study ing the works of art presented to the public by Mr. Sheep- shanks, and contained in the South Kensington Museum, on the afternoons of the only day when their thus was unoc Oak namely, Sunda e. ilia; could bo no doubt of what the with of the donor of thepieturea, as it was clearly en premed in the deed of sift, and he did hope that the govern ment would enable the induatrious dares to participate in the advantages which that valuable collection aorded. Mr. DUTIIIT, after expreming his conviction that it was the duty of a govertment to do everything it could to premoto the education and improve the taste of the mow of the people, procetcled to show that in consequence of the want of facilitim in this eolith y to I stable the aril.= to study science and art they had to follow lather than lead the ideas of foreign workmen. The South Kensington Museum was a step in advance, but it did not filial the purposes for which it was intended, as, although opened three nights in the week, it was impossible for artisans living in the east and other parts of London to visit it alter their hour. of labour. Ho reminded the noble lord that there were precedents for opening this museum, in the fact that Hampton Court Palace. Kew Gardens and museum, and Greenwich Hospital painted Hall were open on Sundays, and referred to the fact that in Paris and A icons the schools of art end design were open to apprentices on Sundays for study, and as a proof that the cultivation of a taste for art had n moral rather than immoral effect, be referred to the fact that whilst the colfee-boures in Paris were the most ele gant buildings, and the wino shop the moet contemptible, the reverse was the fact is London. ME. MORRELL, Sa a goldsmith, bore out rho statement that there was a want of originality of design in this country amongst. workmen from their not having the opportunity of studying works of art in this country ea they had on the continent on a Sunday. He Mao impre ssed upon his lord ship the error which was fallen into in supposing the vast main of the people were not fully alive to this subject because they were not continually sending up deputations; the fact was that they could not afford the time from their labours to do so. Mr. linar writ into tantiatica to show that there was an increasing taste on the pert of the people for intellectual recreation, aa shown by the fact that whit. in 11351. the Pshibition yew, there were 327,990 tinders to the Kew garderut, List year the number inereeeed to 344,140, and the excess of Sunday visitors during the year over all th e wee k dye was 42,172. The same remark applied to Hampt on Court and other places. Mr. KtNNY, as it printer, explained the position of corn peritors, and showed the impernibility of their being able to give their wives and families the advantages of these public exhibitions without losing a day's work. Sir Joun TRELAWNY raid he had cheerfully voted for the grant of 2,0001. fur • National Portrait Uslkry ; and he would have voted for ten times the amount if it would be opened on a Sunday to the working three. Mr. M xiit.te 0 sad Mr. Id'hirvnts having also addressed the ?tibia lord, _ . Mr. &ULTRA LANGLEY wild, ea an evidence that Om feel ing of the people was in favour of the opening of these places of intellectual recreation on the Sunday, they were in pee- PGINAOII of the valuable fact, which they could prove, namely, that lost Sunday 2.SO.OOOFrISOUR, or one•sixth of the whole population of the mein-twills, were preempt to hear the bends in the Perks, Kensington-gardena, and other plane. Earl ORANVILLX Allll.l he moat pay the deputation the compliment to my that he could not conceive they required the advantage of galleries of science sad art to aid them in the extraordinary ability they had displayed in arguing this question. The precedent of Kew-gardens end Hampton mart weehardly =slogans to the South Kensington Museum which bore more affinity to the opening of the British Mu seum and the National Galleries on Sundays. The subject woe a difficult one, and however dispoeed the government might be to acquiesce in the view' of the deputation, it was a questke how far they could consistently do it with the strong expresidon of opinion which had been given by parlia ment on the =Meet.
