MOH WILT= AT LONDON =IDOL s i t nis. LONDON. TUESDAY, SEPT. 15. ON E of the most encouraging features of the pre sent crisis ia the strong sympathy manifested by the rest of Europe with this country in its Indian troubles and calamities. There are of course some exceptions in the foreign press to this general rale, part icalsrly in that portion of it which in France represents and expresses the fana ticism and folly of a low-born and ignorant priest hood; and their vituperation and anticipation of our downfall have, no doubt, n ri Hex in claws which they delude and dupe, and amongst politicians who seek foe opportunities to use ecclesiastical bigotry and superstition u an instrument and means of governmental despotism. There is, too, a small and active corps of soured and ill-conditioned correspon dents of th.rman papers in England, exiles of more or less learning, and cultivation, and biliousness. seeking to live by abusing the hospitality that pro tects them, who vet industriously re-melt into their crucible all the worse features of the events so faith• hilly Lod fully recorded in the English journals, and all the criticism by which we endeavour at once to establish a diagnosis and to probe and to remedy the misfortunes which have caused this amazing and painful drama, and who reproduce, after the perverted fashion of German generalisation, the most grotesque, outrageous, and sardonic caricatures of English tyranny and imbecility. Ent these are exceptions. The rule on the Con tinent of Europe ia a sincere sympathy for England in this crisis of its and of the world's history, and a very hearty wish to see our arms speedily trium phant. This European sympathy is not to be attributed so much to any great love of England on the Conticent, am to the character, the mode, and the objects of the Mutiny, to its inevitable conse quences if successful, and to that solid unity which It is to be hoped will ever characterise Christendom when the struggle is one with l'sganism ; where false religion has neither truth nor justice on its aide, and where its votaries display in themselves all its horrible vices and cruelty. The insurrection in India is, on the statement of its leaders, an 'Mir of religion entirely. They avow, they proclaim its religious character, and that its design and object are the destruction of, and libera tion of India from, the Christians. In each a struggle the rest of Europe is, we submit, almost as deeply interested SS England is. The tint question that Europe has to ask itself is the character of this revolt. When it finds that its end and aim are anti-Christian as well as anti- English ; so far as the liindoos are concerned, the restoration, in all its demoralisation, of a sacerdotal and most superstitious system of government, science, morals, and belief, and, relates to the more astute Mahamctans, the re vival of the empire of a false and aggressive re- Won, which has in its time been dangerous to Europe. and which, if again triumphant in India, would place at hazard all the improvement which Asia and parts of Africa have received from their connexion with Christendom ; when it is seen that this struggle seeks the emancipation of India from all those influences from which alone its ulti mate civilisation and happiness can proceed—Europe justly and instinctively recognises that the strife concerns England not only in its separate and local capacity, but as the representative in the East of the great principles of Christian unity and modern cirilisation. On this mainly, we apprehend, the sympathy felt, either consciously or unconsciously, for England rests. Then, Europe most see that the manner and mode of the Mutiny corresponds with the character of its objects. First of all, there is an universal con spiracy in an army only too well cared for, fostered, and petted, and also amongst almost all, it is to be fearedt the leading Princes and Chiefs. Our careless Inattention to the symptoms of this conspiracy, to the state of the Bengal Army, to the ill-will of the Princes, Europe may wonder at and censure, as we ourselves do at home, and mean to trace to its respon sible source. But against treachery so unprovoked, against faithlessness so undeserved, and against dupli city so consummate, the religious and moral mind of Europe must revolt. Then •he unparalleled atrocities, the superhuman barbarities, the exterminating sen geance, which no maladministration, no interference with religious prejudices, can possibly excuse; these applied equally and remorselessly to all ages and to either sex, simply because the vim ims were Christians, have quickened and vivified for us that sympathy which might otherwise base slumbered. Great and noble and heroic examples of martyrdom,of sutT,ering, of endurance, of gallantry, of courage, and of skill, are the choicest inheritances of nations, the noblest patrimony of a people. These the late events in India have given us in melancholy bat consolatory abundance; and these have re-acted to our advantage throughout Europe. There are other considerations, too, to which Europe cannot possibly be blind. Without affecting to he insensible to the immense national advantages which England derives from India in a peaceable and prosperous condition, the dependency of India on England has also been of great service to the rest of Europe. It has opened up for France, Germany, Holland, and Belgium large, valuable, and increasing markets for their produce and fabrics ; and it has poured into Europe generally precious commodities and rich manufactures, many prime necessaries, and much real wealth. It has done this to an extent that bas made India under our rule an European pos session. Of this market and this source of wealth Europe would bo deprived were the Mutiny suc cessful. The very character and manner of the Revolt shows how hopeless would he the re-subjogatiou of India to any other En . iopean Power, even if there were any strong and bold and ;rich enough to nuke the attempt. In India there is really no alternative but Eiwlish vpremacy or Europeax eirlusion. In the United States, on separation, the case was otker•- wise, because there we had a cognate, a Christian race; there we hail ;in feeling, in hopes, in faith, another Europe; there we had connexions, affec tions, sympathy, and common language. From India, we should separate without one of these ad vantages—in hatred and anger, in enmity and hoe tility. Hence, while in the last century Europe encouraged the British Colonies in their revolt, Europe now declares against India in this savage attempt at independenee, from which it would be with us a common sufferer. Were it consistent with:our:duty ar.d our position in the world, or with the retribution which we owe to our fallen fellow•couutrymen, probably the worst punishment we could inflict on India would be to withdraw from the interior and confine ourselves to the great ports. Then, indeed, the people of India would feel the full force of the triumph of this mis creant army, and of the restoration of the govern ment of native princes, in the internecine wars for power and division of the spoil ; in the excesses of an arrogant and insolent and triumphant soldiery ; in the interruption and disturbance of peaceful indus try ; in the insecurity of person and property ; in short, in (as Mr. BRIGHT well expressed it) the anarchy that would follow. In such a state of things Europe can have no interest. These inevit able consequences of native success would devastate and destroy a country, pith the peaceable cultiva tion, good order, and tranquillity of which, under the mild and beneficent, if not always wise, sway of Great Britain it reciprocates great advantages. Such is the case that, apart front all exclusively European claims, England presents to Europe for sympathy and moral support, and to which Europe has responded favourably in the Indian drama. Other a-sistanee we seek uot. All that we require is that our case be fully understood, and that the interest which Europe has in the success of our arms be duly appreciated. In this struggle, what ever may be the defects of our Indian administra tion, we are at least not wrong-doers. We arc the representatives of Christianity and European eivilifa , tion in .ksis, and, encouraged by the approbation of all that is rational, temperate, wise, and pru dent in Europe, we will, with Goi.'s bl•:ssinz, in- dicate the character of Christendom in India, and put to scorn sod contempt the mean, rindictise, and bigotted criticisms of sacerdotal malice, come they whetlicr from Cardinal WI4r.IIAN, or from so debased—and, happily in France, so powerless —a print a the Paris Unirers.

The Indian telegraphic news, which arrived this morning in Paris, has not excited any very strong sensation, which may perhaps be accounted fur from the fuct that the intelligence is not of 'decisive eha• racter, and leaves matters very much as they stood. Tho Constitutionnel alone contains a few obser vations on tho subject, and says that England will never be able to effect anything against China until the Bengal revolt is put down. It Uterefore believes that the China mission will for the present be followed by no result. On the whole the article is not very nattering to England. Marshal Valliant has left to-day for the camp. A fire broke out this morning in the reading-office of the Moniteur, 13, Quai Voltaire. The manu scripts, library, office books, files of the journal, and a portion of the printing stock were destroyed. The presses were saved. Tho journal will be publiahed to-day in the old printing-office, Rue des I'oitcvins. Two firemen were injured. The cause of the tiro is not ascertained, but it is supposed to have been acci dental.

From a circular addressed by the Minister of War to the generals commanding divisions and subdivi sions, and other authorities, it appears that the levy of 18.56, which was to have been for 100,000 young men, was in reality only for 84,120-15,600 young men having been exempted from service for different reasons, and 280 not having presented themselves at aIL Of the 84,120, the minister says that 81,903 arc to go to the army, and 2,217 to the navy. The vintage has commenced in several parts. The wine this year will be of excellent quality, end in many places large in quantity. At the Bourse the market has been very gloomy, although the despatch received from India was con sidered as rather favourable, the state of alft:ni not having become worse.

THE EVANGELICAL CONGRESS. A letter from Berlin says that the city is full of military men and clergymen in white cravats—the first to take pert in the militaly maroeuvres which were to take place at Lichtenberg, and the latter to assist at the Evangelical Congress. Ilia Majesty received the members of the congress in the gardens of the new palace at Potsdam on the 11th. They were arranged according to their different nationali ties, so that after the committees came the Ame ricans, the Australians, the English, French, tee., the Germans being lat. The president addressed the King. The King replied with deep emotion, and was loudly cheered. The various deputations were then presented to his Majesty, who replied in Eng. Ugh, French, and German to their addresses. The members again cheered, and sang a hymn. All were delighted with the affability of the King. The Times correspondent gives the following de scription of the presentation of the English address: No snowy had the King finished with the Americen group, and Sir Culling Eardley been calkd for presentation to the King RA tho spokesman of the English phalanx, than our countrymen, with that vulgar propensity to mob royalty erb;ch we betray both at bottle and abroad, all deserted the pl a ce unsigned them in the proceeding', and docking after Sir Culling, encloaed the group of King, chamber lains, adjutants, and guests, in ono dense, hot mess, like • cinder of tars. The Queen, who was looking on front the edrade, and Com whoa° recollection the events of la seem not yet effused (it wee at just ouch a peaceful awl joj nue meeting se this that the so-called revointion broke out), pre evident signs of apprehension, which, however, dimiesehed fiesiur'ly as she saw that notb*-4 worse cute of it. IMPERIAL MOVEMENTS. The Augsburg Grt:ette says that the Emperor of Austria would leave Vienna on the 16th, to pay a ci•it to the Prussian monarch at Berlin. As the Emperor of Russia was to be in Berlin on the 13th, and the Emperor Francis Joseph intended to pay a visit to the ox-Emperor Ferdinand at his summer palace before proceeding to Berlin, the two em perors would not meet at the Prussian court. AUSTRIA. The Oat Deutsche Post, a very ministerial organ, is of opinion that "the interview at StottFart is an event which should set Germany thinking." It adds that there are many parts of the Eastern ques tion vet unsolved, and that the military resources of England are absorbed in India. The Bavarian Bank of Munich has raised its rate of discount from 5 to 54 per mat. The King of the Belgians has arrived at Milan. AUSTRALIA. ARRIVAL OF TILE ANGLO-SAXON. CUT MEMOIR AirD MAGNETIC TELEGRATM) (TROY OVA OWN CMIRE.PONDLIIT.) LIVERPOOL, TI The ship Anglo Satan, Captain Welsh, arrived off the port this morning. She left June 1, and has brought on freight 15,000 ounces of gold. Iler news is anticipated. The following telegraphic despatch has been re ceived by the Times: "LITTLEHAMPTON, TUESDAY N.RWING. "The ship George Marshall, from Sydney, with 120 passengers and 100,000 sovereigns, has arrived." ITALY. TUSCANY. The Crown Prince Ferdinand has been serionvly attacked with fever and measles at Arezzo. (71031 OUR OW COILIMPONDENT.) NAPLES, SEPT. 7. A very daring act has lately excited the attention and astonishment of the whole neighbourhood of La Cava and Salerno. On last Tuesday night, as Sig. Consiglio—some say the British vice-consul, others say the uncle of the vice-consul—was returning to his home, he was arrested by a body of armed men,to the number of fourteen. Not having any money on his person, he was menaced with death unless I,OOW. were sent by his family to procure his release, and the coachman and one of the party were imme- diately sent off to Victri to procure the stun demanded from Madame Consiglio. To prevent immediate pursuit an assurance was also given that if any attempt were made to betray them be fore the money was consigned Signor Consiglio would be murdered. The banditti then decamped to the mountains, and after great efforts the ransom was sent and Signor Consiglio was released. Who and what the men are who committed this outrage I cannot as 3et inform you. They may form a por tion of those who were released by the wise and paternal discretion of his Majesty in the early part of the year, and some of whom were suspected of having murdered poor Illandford ; or they may be of the number of those whom bad government or misgovernment con tinually reduce to misery and crime. Thus the prisons are hotbeds where every worst feeling towards the actual government is generated, and lawlessness and crime are created by anticipation. Many, too, whose names or antecedents expose them to the suspicion of the authorities have no other re source than that of putting themselves, not beyond the protection of the law, but beyond the violence of power, by becoming f!oruscifi—dwellers in the fastnesses of mountains, whence they issue at times to levy black-mail for their main tenance. That such a state of things should exist in a civilised age appears to be almost incredible • and yet it is no less true that in various parts Of the country there are some hundreds thus scattered about who lice by violence, because the injustice and folly of the government prevent them from living in any other way. We are the more impressed by this re cent act of violence, be cause of the locality in which wascommitted—near some of the favourite summer resorts of travellers as well as Neapolitans — close to Salerno, the second city in the kingdom— and in the high-road from it and Victri to Amalfi. This fact is another of those signs which illustrate the condition of the country and afford a sufficient answer to the deceptive descriptions which arc often given us of the peace, order, and prosperity of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilica. It is not long since, I believe, that in the same neighbourhood a gentleman was stopped and robbed of 10,0001. The Centaur, Captain Clifford, was last reported off Victri, having been on a cruise some days in the Bay of Salerno. It is expected in Naples to-day. From the diplomatic changes which have taken and arc taking place here, Naples might be regarded as taking her place as a third-rate power. The English and French ministers have now left nearly a year, and cannot with common decency or self respect return until a very different state of things is introduced here. The Spanish minister returned to Madrid some months since, and the Spanish secre tary, M. Conte, is about to leave on promotion to be chief of one of the burenux of the Forciim-office. The Prussian minister left, on leave of absence for three months, last Sunday. The Russian mi nister, M. Kakoschkine, has not been replaced, but the first secretary, M. de Poggcnpohl, has been appointed chargé d'affaires. At the same time, M. do Nlinciaky has been appointed Secretary of Legation. The inference drawn here, therefore, is, that no minister will be appointed by Russia, otherwise no secretary would have been appointed, and the locum tenon would have been "charge des affaires." Such, at all es cots, is the delicate diplomatic distinction drawn, I am informed, be tween " charge des" and " chargi , d'affaires." Now, if my reasoning is correct, what is the meaning of this movement? It is well known that both the Russian and the Prussian ministers made strong though unavailing efforts to bend the mind of the Sovereign to better thoughts; and it is more than suspected that there has been a less friendly , feeling than formerly between the courts of Si. Petersburg and Naples. Whether this change is the latest expression of it, time must unfold. A pamphlet has been circulating in Naples recently, bearing the title, as far u 1 can learn, of " II tentativod'insurrezione procurato da Palmerston, Cavour, e Nlaxsini." It is also called " The Fourth Memento." Of course a parallel is drawn between the d istinguished ministers of England and Sardinia and the two red republicans. That which is most worthy of comment is, that in a country where breathing is not free, such works should be permitted. Of course, the only conclusion to whichwe can conic is that the government views such attacks with favour, and in the persons of Palmerston and Cavour, opposes itself to all progress and reform. Nor must I omit to mention the circulation here, verysecietly, of a medal which indicates the existence of a most dangerous feeling, spite of the assurances I that all is "Peace, peace." This medal hasbeen cut in Naples, I am informed, in honour of the memory of Agesilao Milano, who made an attempt on the life of the King in December last, and of Baron Ilenti vegna, who headed an unsuccessful revolution in Sicily in the early part of the year. AMERICAN RAILWAYS. PROW ova OWN CORRERPONDINT.) NEW YORK, Sm. 2. One of the chief causes of the pressure on our market is the mismanagement of our railway affairs. We shall suffer sooner or later as mighty a railway crash as England experienced a few years ago, and with frauds far more numerous if not so stupendous. The common impression is that America has built roads too fast. This is a gross mistake. Too many rival lines have been built, and many fatal mis takes were committed in their early construe ' tion. But our railways as a system could have survived all this. The difficulty has arisen chiefly from the reckless, incompetent, fraudulent, or injudicious management. In the great majority of instances, the managers of railways know little of their business, and the entire management is left in the hands and under the sole direction of the pre sident, who is generally either a large stockholder or a speculator, or both. l' early all the leading roads in America are controlled in Wall-street and by the speculators in Wall-street, and dividends are de clared or withheld, stocks forced on the market, or driven from it. solely with reference to indivi dual speculation. The actual value of a road, the cost of its management or construction, _ the cost of running, its earning or losses, its debti or its actual wealth, have very little to do with the value of sale of ibs stock in Wall-street. Sometimes one operator carries for a while a whole road, and plays his cards to suit his own purpose. Oftener a combinatiou of men effects the same purpose. But in almost every ease the result to the stockholder is . the same . he is sacrificed. Orders for the purchase or sale of stocks are made by holders on the quoted prices of the Exchange. But in the great majority of eases the broker and speculators connected with the road are the only parties who make money. It is an ingeniously constructed system of gambling, where all honest stockholders are likely to lose their money. There is another difficulty, however, in the rail. way system of America which could be remedied, and the remedy of which would at once introduce a new and better state of things. Rates for con veyance, especially of passengers, must be raised. The average rate now on American roads is hardly one English penny per mile. Competition of rival lines has reduced these rates too low. This is the case, it is now admitted, even with the British and continental roads, where the rates of transporta tion are much higher. Itoads, which do not make money cannot honestly declare dividends. But many of our roads have declared dividends never earned, and borrowed mosey to pay it. It is a disgrace to the civilisation of the age that individual property in the hands of incorporated institutions should be so insecure. In America it is more insecure than in almost any other country. Yesterday was the worst financial day New York has seen for twenty years. To-day is and must bo worse. Beyond it, monied men see relief. The news from every quarter of the country shows a better financial condition than we have in'NewYork. The season is favourable for the crops, and almost everything is secure except Indian corn. If that crop ripens, we shall beyond all question have the most abundant harvest ever grown in America. DENMARK AND HOLSTEIN. TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPETEE, SIR,—In your yesterday's impression there wee a communication from Holstein, stating that the Diet refused to discuss the project of a constitution laid before it by the Danish government, and there was added the notice that the lest attempt of conciliation made by the government, there fore, had been rejected purely and simply. It appears by this ea if Denmark bad exhausted all means to reconcile oho Duchy, and as if the latter obstinately refused the most ruinous offers on the pert of the kingdom. Your well-known impartiality will allow me, I em sure, to state how in reality the matter stands. I will not go beck to the year ISIS audits strange features. I will tot ask whether there was or was not a revolution, whether in the Duchies or at Copenhagen. Neither will I recall the Nampa gas of 1848 and 1649, fought by the army of Holstein, a member of the German confederation ' under the command of Preosian Generals appointed by the authority of the confederation, end with the aid of the troops of almost every German Prince, The fact is, that in 1850, Holstein was lett alone in war against the Kingdom, and that the Dunl'h army nevertheless won out able to subdue the Melly. To restore penes, Aus tria and Prussia sent troops to Holstein, and tbe army of Holstein, laying down their arms beflae the German the Duchy was not delivered up to the Danish nuthorr fore diplomatic transactions between the two powers and Den mark had resulted in a treaty, by which the government en gaged to wears by a constitution certain fundamental rights of the Duchy concerning the position to be occupied by It in the so-called Danish monarchy. According to this treaty a proclamation of the Ring of Denmark announced to the inhabitants of the Duchy that the matter definitively was to bo settled in this is.v. But up to the present day these rights Lave not been realised by the government, and the very prep ct of • ecinsti teflon that just now has been lying before the Diet did not mention these rights in a single clause. This is the simple reason, air, why the Diet refused todiretus the draft till the relations between Holstein and Der , orst were definitively settled. So powerieo an organ es yore journal is of the liberal party of so great and free a nation en the English, yam will estimate, I am convinced, the tight of the people, even if it is against the government, and you only wanted, I am confident, to know the plain facts ;si order to agree with my countrymen, who do net demand anyth'eg but what is due to them, and what the influence of the Desk; —a foreign people—will not admit to be given to them. These facts, in the meantime, will eufli. iently explain the remarkable phenomenon of • representative assembly "elect ing a liberal constitution proposed by the government," PI spoken of by your own correspondent in his letter from Copenhagen of the 6th inst. Suppose, sir, England to bedivided into several independent states, as mho was at the time of the Heptarchy, and the oe states to be confederated as the German states are still at pre sent. Suppose there may be then a duchy of Kent or of Sus- sea, and a reigning duke gained the crown of Belgium. Ard as King of Belgium, one of his successors remolves to Maur , poste with hie kingdom the duchy in a sort of " whole state;" to make the duchy a province of this whole state; to introduce in it the foreign languar, as 1 Denmark doing against Schleewig-Holstein, in the L command of the army, in school and in church to introduce the foreign coin in the business of the market and of every day, confiscating the pence sad shillings sad rove reigns wherever they may be seized, and mulcting the ms • habitants who make use of them; to introduce the foreign , 1 rates and taxes and government duties, &e., &c. Would the men of Sussex, of Kent, would the Englis h men agree to . . accept an offer of the "right of petition," as your own coRN eappoondent mentions it amongst the merciful gouda of the Donn ferentrs, and be satiatied by it ; or would they Wan the bargain nod claim their full nght, their tuitional and pea litical English freedom and independence, even wader the King of Belgium P-- I em, de., DR.

Another birth-day has come round, and I am alive and thank God, which is something to have to say in these tronblous times. Well, we am here in about the same state as when I last wrote. Alt is quiet at Patna, Dnieper', and Dangtrulpore i tg a reeezt ; they had a smell outbreak at Patna, which was e sea pressed, but Dr. Liyal was shot by the rebels. have made arrangements for Annie to go to Calcutta by the first opportunity. I had a very kind letter from Mr. E. to-day to say that they had a room for her, and off she goes accordingly. I send her not so mal because we contemplate any immediate danger here, but my move ments would be lese hampered, and I hove a good deal of volunteer military duty to perform, and in the event of ham ing to moue, ladies and children would increase the diffi culties so much more. You will see by the papers frightful accounts of etrocities, and I believe hot(' hoe only yet been told. Tho policy hers leas been lately to humour the =time in every way, to endeavour to put them on an equality with the Europeans in every way, even making them subject to the Company's native officiale, there tame black rascal. in olfire who have in luny in/dances during this outbreak been the cause and the keglers of the rebellion. This theory of putting natives and Eoropcona on a par basso pervaded the councils of this enlightened government, that, when it became necessary to nappies* the seditious native press, the government made a law to gag all newspapers, and the result is you will get but garbled statements of much of the ehortcorarngs of this government at home, as the English press is now silenced, ma it would be in France, Italy, Atm trim, or Rumba The Poet-oftleo arrangemente through the country or " Motorail" parts are in the hands of the naives, and would say ono with common sense believe it that, it these tits, s, government has issued orders that no civilian in their employ is in any way to interfere with the meals and poet-offiee, so that "edition• letters can be rent, and our Eng lish correspondence burked, without COMOliattaltlCl, collocor, or rmagietrate being able to interfere? This is et most fatal proceeding, for here. n few days ago, before this order arrived, the marpatrate, from information he received, intercepted • letter in the poet.ollice, which dirtelosed a plot amongst the Mahometans of this town to join with those of Patna and Banghulpore, and upon this, with further pereonal evidence s pia men were arrested and sent to Berighulpore to the corn roimioner to be banged, as we expected, but no, the worthy coutuamioner liberated three of the worst of th em,' for what reason we rue as yet unaware, but it must be either through fear of an execution of them, or for some technical informality in the proceeding.; if they got a chance at our throats. they would not give no the loneflt of many technicalities. This has eo dingo-tod the Volunteer Corps, that I understand ninny of the Horse Guards intend to resign to-day. We murder a large railway force hers, and ate the rosin defence of the station. They will not give tins European troops, for they say at headquarters they have none to spare; and, if they had, we do not require them. 300,000 rupees have been tent to Calcutte out of the tree entry, so that the government has a smaller stake in the station.

ALEXANDRIA, Scrr. 8. General Havelock's forces, after reoccupying Cawnpore, finding Ilhitoor evacuated, burnt it to the ground. On the 29th and 30th of July they found the rebel, at Bupecr-el-Gunge, about 18 miles from Cawnpore, 10,000 strong, whom they defeated with the loss of 15 guns. They expected to reach Lucknow the next day. Nana Sahib per petrated a fearful massacre at Cawnpore, in which nearly all the European inhabitants perished.
