LONDON, I , laDdir, AUGUST 28. Os the 20th of ffeySirHExav loorawct wrote, from Locknorr, ' a Sir HICGII WM:6Ln, it COMO- pore, " You arc a pillar of strength to us at this juncture." In little more than a month both of these pillar* of the British empire in India bad fallen. WtLcovone r, the brave and modest—Wit , LOVOBBY, w ho tired the powder magazine at Delhi —is no e. There have been other, though less important, lenses in high quarters. ANSON has already b een followed by BARN ARD ; and both of the two iner .pables who faltered in the face of mutiny at Anne .ngabad and Benares appear to have retired on the plea of sickness. There is reason to fear for the survivor.. NulL, worthy to be • fellow eeldvs of LAWRENCE and WHEELER, WIN bought almost to the doors of death while wialdng his heroic exertions for the defence of Allahabad and the relief of Cawnpore. And both at Delhi and Allahabad disease would appear to have occasioned more deaths among the rank and file of our European army than the mutineers. It is this thought that weighs upon the heart of the nation whenever India is mentioned. Tribe the mutineers recoil and reel backward when ever they are compelled to cross bayonets with the loyal troops. But battle, pestilenoe,and famine con spire against the European nucleus of that portion of the soldiery upon whom we can rely, and unless their numbers be speedily augmented they may melt ' away even in the midst of victories. It is this that makes every earnest man writhe with impatience when the flippant mouthpieces of Government, in the Press or in Parliament, prate about the great things to be done when the army, now scattered in small detachments over the ocean, shall assemble in India in the cool season of the year. Let us see : the first troop-ship for India sailed from England on the last of June. Since that time troopships have been taking their departure almost daily for Calcutta and Eurrachee. The average voyage to India round the Cape cannot be estimated under three months. About the end of Sep tember the first reinforcements may begin to reach Calcutta and Kurraeher, and they will keep dropping in there throughout the menthe of October, November, and December. But Weeps cannot be forwarded from Calcutta to Allahabad, or from Kurrschee to Mooltan, in less than three weeks. It will, therefore, be the beginning of Numb. before the first driblets of these vaunted refialherm• meets reach the theatre of war. Our rues? Nee* accounts from that quarter reach only to the IMMO of July. What egrets may not battle, retilence, and famine have wrought in the course ef three months upon the small European force that is se gallantly making head against insurgent multitudes? Vutrs, give me back my legions," Aura:nes is said to have cried in his sleep, after the slaughter of the Romans in the insurrection of the Germans on the Lower Rhine. In like manner, England, while tossing in the dreams of distempered sleep, may, ere long, call in vain for those gallant legions whose bones may then whiten all the region of Hiodostan. We would not have our readers imagine that we have for one moment doubted the re-conquest of Hin dustan. Having from the first moment of the mutiny looked the danger full in the free, we know that strong thanes the ineargenb be they are unable to contend against the might of England. If any one will take the map of India in hie hand be will see at a glance over how much territory the mutiny extends in its full power. About Disarm., he will see the Ganges venires two cemeklerable aMuents—the Saone from the south, and the Coors or Dewitt from the north. To the east of these rivers the mutiny has proved impotent. Again, except at Delhi, Muttre, Neemon, Nameerabad, and moms ether points, the annum have been suable to mats any imposing display on the west of the lawn The region in which revolt is nun is bounded by the Janina on the west, by the Saone and the Ocigra on the east. The spirit of inminection has not caught the Hill tribes on the lower acclivities of the Himalaya, on the north = nor does it appear to ban yet made as rims inroads on any district south of the Nerbudda. The region within which England has to trample oat the fiancee and spina of insurrection is distinctly defined. It is a wide and populous region, but England has repeatedly grappled sae cessfully with more dangerous antagonists en mow.

The na- tion which poured forth its best blood in the Thirty Years' War to establish the religious libert 4 , of Germany, and whose great Sovereign was knc, , ,mi as the bulwark of Protestantism, is now itscv the victim of an intolerance even more intense than that from which Ouvrtytts Anotruns rescued Gamany. And Sweden retains this hateful legislation of her own choice—by her own free will. !:Mg OSCAR, we have said, has strongly recommended its mo. dification, and his Government iatroduced a small measure of religious liberty into the Swedish Diet. That hod), our readers know, is divided into four houses. by that of the Clergy the measure was of course rejected on the selfish ecclesiastical prin ciple of keeping all they have got ; by the Rouse of Nobles, in the interests of re nen' Conservatism ; and, while it was adopted by I the House of Citizens—that is,by the representatives of the middle chums and of the intelligence of the seentry—it was defeated in the House of Peasants, where the prejudices of ignorance and the influence d the clergy prevail. The defeat of this measure is another proof of how unsuited to the wants and ex igencies of modern society the old framework of the Swedish constitution really is ; and how idle it is to aspect any resuscitation of Scan inavia under the blsence of a legislature which has no inclination to zeeseamodate the constitution of Sweden to the perm of opinions and events, or to snatch the emir: Item the plight of stagnation—of pie ' Warps stagnation, if you please—iu which it has stood for centuries, while everything around it, even in Ruaaia, has been moving onwards. For, strange to say, the opponents of Religious Liberty in Sweden, the party which defeated this attempt of the KING's Government to commence • series of reformations on the adoption of which depends the future usefulness of Sweden to Europe, are the advocates and promoters of Scandiravianiem. It is the very men who desire to revive in the nine teenth century that Union of Calmar which made Scandinavia great in the fourteenth, who have had the folly and inconsistency to refuse to prepare the way by incorporating religions liberty in the government of Sweden. We say the inconsistency, not merely became et 1 the value to civil improvement and propose d Religious Freedom, but because Denmark, or eves Norway, cannot be expected to join a country se retrograde in its religious legislation as Sweden I. By the Constitution of 18.19 Religious Liberty— freedom of conscience and of worship—were cow secreted in Denmark ; and, although in Norway thus is still ranch to be accomplished to place that country on a par with Denmark, Sweden is as far behind Norway as Norway is behind Denmark. It is but right that these Baltic states should know that they are altogether disappointing Europe in its expectations. Their students sad their literature preach and encourage a dreamy sentimentalism in favour of a united Scan dinavia capable of fulfilling the duties of • people who boast of a distinct nationality and of heroic traditions ; lint it is not by songs, by the excited visits of enthusiastic boys to kindred universities-- it is not by the cultivation of feeling only that the great end aimed at is to be accomplished. Sack demonstrations are valuable accesearies when applied in a sound and wholesome spirit ; but when we ass that the spirit in which union and independence are cultivated produces in Sweden a confirmation of religious intolerance, and rejects in Norway cam-' mercial freedom, the conclusion that the rest of Europe will come to is, that what is passing in these countries is a false and exaggerated imitation of the post, and not a hearty and earnest desire to rise equal to the emergencies of the present, and to the expectations of the future. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) This afternoon the east melon of the present parliament was brought to a close. The prorogation was by royal commission, end being simply a matter of form, It excited none of the interest which Invariably steeds a prorogation by the Queen in person.

She brought the usual mails, eighty-two passengers, and 841,000 dollars in specie on freight. The Baltic has had a thorough refit since her last trip to this conutry some nine months since. The Baltic passed, on the 18th instant and the 21st, two large screw steamers (names unknown) bound west. The Leopold 1., from Antwerp, and the Borussia, from Hamburg, had arrived at New York. The Washington advices report that the govern ment oppose the treaty said to be entered into be tween Costa Hies and Nicaragua. The screw steam•ship J. N. Harris ran down, off Newhaven, the steamer Metropolitan, and fifteen persons were drowned. Havana advices to the Bth report the full details of the universal money panic at that city. A certain general lent 2,000,000 dollars of deposit certificates, in small and large sums, to suit the general wants, at six, eight, and ten months, to be received as gold, which realised a good effect. The Mexican advices leave no doubt of Comon fort's election to the presidential chair. COMMERCIAL.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (mow ova own coi PARIS, TIIMIUSDAT EVZNINO. As the Emperor was yesterday taking a drive in the Champs Elyhees, some of the secret police, who always watch his movements on such occasions, observed when near the corner of the Rue Montaigne* carriage apparently following him closely, and in which were three foreigners, of dark complexion, in the hand of one of whom they distinctly saw a pistol. The carriage was instantly surrounded, and on close inspection the pistol proved to be a highly finished revolver, with six barrels. The men were detained under arrest, but it turned out that they were Brazilian gentlemen who had just bought the revolver at M. Lepage's shop, and were proceed ing to his shooting gallery to try it. This expla nation being corroborated by circumstances, they were at once released with apologies. The Emperor's journey to the ChMons camp has been postponed for two or three days. The Courtier de Paris states that Prince Gregory Ghika committed suicide on Tuesday evening, at a chateau, which he has lately purchased near Nlelan. He shot himself with a fowling piece. The reason for the act has not transpired: - The Bourse opened with a slight degree of buoy ancy, but the better disposition was checked by a fallof in Consols, and the tenor of the Indian news telegraphed from London. The Itente closed at 67fr. for cash, with a rise of 10e., and at yesterday's price, 66fr. 93c., for account. Mobilier rose Mr. In the railway market, Northern was the favourite line, and rose Mr. The others were from lir. to 21r. 30e. higher. The Pays, alluding to doubts thrown by Some London journals upon the accuracy of its account of the strength of Delhi, affirms that it has never pub- Jished any Indian news except upon sure informa tion, and that none of its statements have ever been contradicted. I have already mentioned that thePays' exclusive London news is supposed to be furnished by the French embassy, but how does it account for Lord Palmerston's contradiction of the story it told the other day about au application to the I'acha of Egypt for leave to send troops across the Isthmus of Suez ? PIEDMONT. The Opinione of Turin gives an account of the reception at Genoa of the splendid piece of ordnance sent by the citizens of Boston to the people of Pied mont for the walls of Alestandria. General Mi randa commandant of the division of Genoa, and the civic authorities, proceeded in state to the gates of the port, where the gun was solemnly delivered to them. It was then conveyed to the Piazza Nueva, accompanied by a band of music and by a detach _ . ment of soldier,. It remained there until the Mon day following, to be viewed by the population, and was then lent off to Turin. THE OVERLAND MAIL. (ST SUBMARINE AND BRITISH TELEGRAPH.) (mom ova own COURZSPONDENT.)

(71011 OtR OWN CORlNgsrv.... We want a modern Chaucer in Boulogne. Who else shall sing the frolics and the quaint appear ance, the theatrical effects and queer combinations, of our pilgrims? Aye, pilgnms; some, pretty dainty ladies, with peach-coloured parasols; othen, stern Paceioniste, with bare, dusty . feet, and the heart and cross embroidered upon their coarse garments. From the Porte de Calais to the lighthouse at the end of the pier; from the heights of Outreau to the Emperor's column, the great population of this sea port and bathing-place is astir, and, we are assured, in a high state of religious fervour. Behind those dismal blank walls, in the sombre by-streets, girls with hectic flushes upon their cheeks are ernbroideneg the sacred mysteries upon white silk banners; while in another quarter nimble fingers elaborate the standard of the Immaculate Conception. Cheerily sing the pretty dapper blanthisseuses, in their neat shops, as they starch and iron the ample skirts of the maiden' who are to bear through the decorated streets the dead hand in a casket. Anxiously, mothers o families count the family linen to kiow how many sheets can be hung from the windows, and bound with blue, in honour of our Lady , of Boulogne. A priest enters yonder milliner's shop. Addressing one of the young workwomcn, he says : " Will mademoiselle take part in the procession of the Immaculate Conception ? Mademoiselle is of course highly honoured. Thu follow the details :—Mademoiselle must have an embroidered scarf, an elaborate wreath ; more, made moiselle must subscribe to the expenses of the banner. In short, it will cost mademoiselle forty freq. Forty francs, to be paid by a poor girl who nob one franc a day as a washerwoman ! The priest counts cunningly, however. The poor thing may be exalted by the idea of appearing in a public pro cession, by wearing a white dress, and being girded by a golden scarf, and crowned with a burnished wreath. She will parade her native town in the face of hundreds of friends. The temptation is strong, and if she has saved a few franca she will probably yield to the arguments of vanity supported by those of her religion. In the case which cams under my notice, and which I have here faith fully set before the reader for his candid appro. elation, the girl declined the honour, and as she told the story of the application and her refusal, , bade ns believe that she was a catholic, bat not a bigot. Still the maidens have been found to sport white muslin, and wear sashes, and bear aloft, in the face of day, aye, within sight of Dover, the banner of the Immaculate Conception ! The fishwomen an arranging new scarlet petticoats; the fishermen am ordering new suits of blue—and all in honour of oar Lady of Boulogne. There is a massive bell in yonder white cathedral that stands boldly into the blue sky beyond the grey ramparts. To-morrow that ball will be christened the Immaculate Conception! Bishops, archbishops, and a cardinal are to sweets the air of the Boulonnais with their presence. Mon pilgrims arc streaming hither from London. They step ashore, opposite the Custom-house. and are is ceived with tender words, by nailing priests. Englishwomen will parade these streets on Sunday next before tens of thousands of staring stranger in token of their deep humility. And who is the patron of all this street piety ? the reader may ask, The said reader may remember that about this time last year the attention of Englishmen was drawn, in the columns of the Express, to t disgraceful attempt made by a conspicuous membe of the Ultramontane church party of France to feu the chiefs of schools within his diocese either to cot. stet or dismiss protestant scholars. There was ens a threat that schoolmasters or schoolmistresses who harboured little heretics should not receive the sacrament. The hero of this little—this very little —crusade, was my lord bishop, Pierre LOIN" 01 Arras, Boulogne, and St. Omer. He is better knows for his daring bigotry as M. Parisis. And now lbeg to present the portly figure of my lord to tie English reader, as the chief and patron of the pil grimages and processions of which this little ear port is now the scene. It is he who has set the schools to work, to embroider banners, and embluas standards. From behind the dull walls d these countless pensinnnals will come forth on Sunday next crowds of girls, all marshalled to their colours, and proudly bearing alai the mysterious work of their hands. Ils programme of the procession lies before me. Ands curious document it is to read in these times, whet we are weaving Atlantic cables and lamenting the power of the Brahmin's mysterious rite.. It informs us that in the procession will be found Sisters of the Christian Retreat, in white robes, with golden lasi and crowns, chanting in honour of the Holy Virgill others, walking under the banner of the ImmuuMl Conception, will carry flowers, and will he followed by " girls of the Association of the Immaculate Conception" in white dresses with green sea& Then will follow members of the Perpetual Adam tion in black, bearing upon their breasts a atm suspended by a pink riband, and before the's crown of thorns will be borne upon a cushier. Three sailors will bear along a Byzantine cram taken from the ltussians. The banner of the Virgin will be escorted by thirty-five girls white, with blue or yellow scarfs ; and sixty voids with totettes upon their arms. Then forty rhildres with white crowns, will appear around a corbel* d flowers, and will scatter them around. Thee the children of Mary will appear, surrounding a bean of the Immaculate Conception.
