LONDON; THURSDAY, NOVMIZ.2 6. tows yarn they may happen to be. If it ia a patter of public concern that other soldiers should be enembarraised on such arduous service as that in ladia at present, it is no less so that oar Akers should go out in the fittest condition to meet all contingencies, and to do and endure all the service and all the hardships to which they are profession ally liable. The public have a right to remonstrate against any act by which the military strength of the army in India is impaired, and by which power of any kind is put into the hands of the enemy ; and every woman who at this time goes to India is a burden upon the regiment to which her husband belongs. No eircurostance of the whole mutiny is better known than that our officers in all the pro vinces where the mutiny exist' have been hampered and rendered nearly as helpless as the ladies them selves by the presence of women and children. At every place which has held out, and at Lucknow conspicuously, the garrison would have dispersed the rebels, and would have effected one junction after another of their small forces, so as to have changed the character of the struggle long ago, if they bad not been compelled to shut up the women and children, and stay by them. Daring the first flight, ending sometimes in escape and sometimes in a cruel death, our gallant countrymen were com pelled to give up their arms to mobs of villagers, and, with bursting hearts, to repress their instincts of seltdefence, because every blow they struck would be revenged upon the women. We honour the wife who goes everywhere with her husband sea missionary, because she is as good a missionary as he, and they can help each other. We honour the CATHERINE Monressotts who stay with their husbands in the plague-stricken city, be cause they are naturally-appointed muses, as their husbands are the physicians of body or soul. We honour the ship-captain's wife who navigates the vessel is extremity, saving life and property, because it is a case of eittmenity—the husband being delirious, and no one else on board being qualified for the work. But it is a wholly different affair when the wife can by no means help, but only hinder, the husband's proper business. One would think this so obvious that it would be mere waste of time to dwell upon it at all ; but the fact stares us in the face that officers wives are going sat to India, and some even as brides. There have actually been merriages for the very purpose. To everybody else it is clear enough that the true cou rage and patriotism ia in those who stay at home with the most quietness and simplicity. The trial is so hard that there is genuine heroism in meeting it dicerfully. We need not describe what it is ; for tbe national heart beats in sympathy with the widowed wives whose husbands are almost as Toe crisis in the Messy Market is as yet far from over. The drain upon the resonties of the Bank, ea is clear from the most superficial glance, is proceeding with unabated severity. Golds ill flows to the Continent in payment for silver, and, in addi tion, there is an active demand for sovereigns for the United States and Canada, ea weU as for the Scotch, Irish, and Provincial Bank.. At the same time there is a renewed rush to the Bunk for money. The Bank Directors cannot be expected to calmly look on whilst the movement continues thus severe. They have this morning raised the rate of discount from eight to nine per cent. It would not surprise us if the question of the propriety of even additional restrictions were to come under discussion in the Bank parlour. In the interest of the public, however, we would protest earnestly against any limitation of the date of the commercial paper receivable for discount at the Bank. As our monetary laws stand, an immense power for good or foe evil is vested in the hands of the Bank Court, especially at period. like the pre sent. We sincerely trust that they will continue to set with the calmness and deliberation which have hitherto eharacteriaed their proceedings. It is open to them to consider the advisability of charging a higher rate for bills having more than 60 days to run, but the absolute rejection of such paper would go so far towards crippling the commerce of the country that we will not Inhere that the Directors wiU entertain the idea for a moment. the question now arises, will nine per cent atop the drain upon the Beak ? Under the circumstances, we do not believe that the new restriction will do more than cheek it Until the exchange between England and America experiences an important ad vance, sold will inevitably flow thither. At the same time we are under the necessity of remitting to the Continent considerable quantities of gold in payment for silver drawn thence for shipment to the East, the drain being at present aggravated by the remittances of silrer for account of the Fast India Company. Many persons will be disposed to hope theta fresh rise in the rate of discount will cheek the foreign drain upon the Bank, end give a fresh favourable impulse to the foreign exchanges, and that supplies of gold from Australia will arrive in time to mitigate the existing serious pressure. We have a misgiving that in gene respects these views are over magnum, and we gannet contemplate without great pain the severs distress w►ich a prolongation of the et:sis will occasion in all circles, even amongst houses of acknow ledged solidity and caution. 'room apprehends" the position of the Bank of England is appreabaidang closely to that witnessed in the autumn of 1847. The institution retains its grasp upon a large stare of gold, bat the reserve of notes mast be rapidly diminishing under the extreme pregame. Now, we admit that there is a considerable discrepancy between the features of the two periods; external influences, conducing to an external drain, are now a prominent cause of embarrassment. Bat in one important point the symptom of the two epochs cor respond closely ; we notice& growing disposition on the part of the public to hasten to secure money, lest the procuring of it should hereafter be attended with in creased difficulty. With every wish to deal cau tiously with this very delicate branch of our subject, we cannot refrain from declaring our conviction that • continuance of this Femurs will demand the inter vention of Government. The Bank Act is again upon its trial, and its justification may upon this oc casion, ea in 11347, require all the eloquence isf its advocates. Should that Act be now found to stand in the way, and stop the flow of the life-blood of commerce, its provisions must be suspended, as they were ten years ago. The com mercial community will cheerfully pay eight, nine, or ten per cent. foe money until the pressure sub sides, let them but be assured that the needful sup ply will be forthcoming at even those high rates upon good securities. We commend this matter to the earnest consideration of Government. It inaccessible as if the grave lay between, while still subject to the perils and sufferings of mortal existence. The noble denies of the old crusading knights never had a more heroic calling than these English soldiers' wives of the present day; and every one of them who sends forth her husband with an unloaded mind and in unfettered arm is doing her best to serve her country and promote her hero's honour. These patient and self-sacritleing women have taken to heart the few words spoken in so many places in India since last May—" Get home, " you and the children, the first moment you can; " and then I shall be tit for duty." The getting home was the one thing to be desired; and from the time this was known no woman should have desired to go out, or should have been allowed to do so. There was a time when it seemed that nurses might have been sent to Calcutta with advantage, to tend the sufferers there who were waiting to come home ; but the very service for which they were proposed was an evidence that no other women should go.

But it is well known that Calcutta is in an over-crowded eon- ' dition, just when it is of the utmost consequence that there should be all pomible room for the arriving troops, and the utmost economy in food and all ',applies. The officers cannot get their salaries paid; the civilians arc undergoing a redaction of their pay; nobody has any money, jest at the time when the necessaries of life are dear beyond all pre eedeat. While the soldiers, on whom hangs life or death for hundred, and thousands of our countrymen, see kept huddled together in their ships in the midst of malaria, because every room in Calcutta is crowded, and while the markets do not exhibit food enough for the popalation,every nonresident woman is, to speak the plain truth, a nuisance—a nuisance so serious, that it is to be hoped the authorities will forbid the transmission of any more, unless the good sense of the ladies themselves, or domestic authority, renders any official treatment of the subject wine- Celeary.

THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5, Mt NEW SOUTH WALES. We have received advices from Sydney, New South Wales, to Aug. 12, being four days later than the date of previous advice.. This intelligence ruches us by way of Callao. On the II th of August the second easion of the first parliament of New South Wales was opened by his Excellency the Governor-General. We gather from the report of the Sydney Empire that the opening was conducted with much ceremony, and that the traditions of Westminster are conscien tiously observed in the capital of the Australian colony. The occasion was honoured, we are told, by the presence of a brilliant assemblage of ladies, i distinguished visitors, the foreign consuls, dignita ries of the church, and officers of the army and navy. The Lower House was summoned by Black Rod, and the Speaker was greatly admired in his "splendid new state robes." His Excellency, who was attended by an aide-de-camp, and received with a military salute, took his place on the vice-regal throne, and delivered the following speech : HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OP THE LZOISLATITICOUNCIL, MID GENTLEMEN OP THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLE, I should have called you together at an earlier period, but had I done so (owing to the unmet's' length of the last session, whit h was prolonged until the 17th March of the present year), a inCrient interval would not have been afforded to the government for the preparation of the boatmen about to be brought before you, neither would a sufficient recess have been granted to thuee izienitieni who were withdrawn for so long a time from attending to their private affairs. The delay whtcb hag taken place will, I feel assured, be conducive to the ultimate despatch of public buelnees, as It has enabled the government to mature many messume of great Importance to the welfare of the eountry, which, together with the esti mates for the year lSStf, will be immediately brought under your consideration. To the following measures of reform and social progress I would more particularly Invite your at tention. Experience has already shown that the change in the sys tem of government requires a corresponding change in the system of representation. A bill will therefore be immedi ately laid before you to increase the number of members of the Assembly to remove the diaabilities to vote a-icing from change of residence or qualith stion, to introduce the ballot, and to bring the electoral distribution in harmony with the changes among the population indicated by the late census. This bill will be accompanied by another for the purpose of regulating the_ proceedings at elections, diminishing the ca yenne of candidates, and providing more effectually against the evils of bribery and corruption. A bill will be laid before you on en early day, to provide for the future management and die of the public lands, which, while preserving the faith of the crown, will render the acquisition of lend n fee simple more easy to all who are likely to bring it into profitable use, and thus Cecil tate the permanent settlement, end, at the mane time, increase the prodectivenem of the country. One of the meet impor tant objects of the measure will be to augment the means available for public improvement, and more especially for those great works of internal communication which are now so much desired, without unduly pressing upon any clued the community. The Municipalities Bill of last session, modified and improved in some important partieulara, will be immediately submitted for your considemtion. A bill toe the establishment of district courts will be again brought forward in an amended form. The object of this bill is to facilitate and expedite the administration of justice in the interior, and to relieve the Supreme Court from the pre sent excessive pressure of business. The criminal law re quires simpliecation and amendment, in order to make the punishment of crime more certain ; end, in connexion with this aubjec t, I propose to bring under your special notice, the important question of secondary punishment. The subject of education has received the most anxious consideration from the government; and it is my intention to lay before you a measure which, while it will not in sny way interfere with the religious convictions of a single individual, will supply adequate means of inatruction for the whole com munity. Regulations have been established to facilitate the intro duction from the United Kingdom of useful immigrants under private engagement. The opportunity thus alorded for the selection of immigrants by weans of private egency, and of providing them with passages in private ships, will, he productive of great public advantage. It is pro also to grant remission certificates in the purchase of E?. is to persons introducing immigrants of the labouring classes, tinder such regulations as may be found desirable. The latter object can only be effected by legislative enactment, sad the necessity measure for the purpose will, accordingly, be brought forward at en early day. Arrangements have been made by which it ia believed the efficiency of the railway department will be materially in creased. The °fiber for whom, at the request of the legis lature, 1 applied in ROS, has lately arrived in the colony , and I trust to be able to lay before you, shortly, such a re port from him upon the general question of railway con struction and management as will greatly facilitate the de termination of the measures necessity for the extension of railways into the interior. The unprecedented continuance of heavy rains has made communication by the ordinary roads of the colony Glencoe impracticable, end has hitherto unfortunately impeded the beneficial expenditure of the sums voted for their repair. It le intended to apply to the liberality of parliament for • such larger amount than usual for the maintenance and repair of the leading thoroughfare. of the colony, end to place them under a more satisfactory eyetem of management. Contracts have been entered into for the construction of • line of electric telegraph from Sydney to Albury. The pro per of this work, and of those undertaken for • similar purpose by the sister colonise, justifies the expectation that the galvanic (limit between all the chief cake of Australia will soon be completed. I have to congratulate you upon the succeeska o of the act of lest eoesien for the amendment of the Cr a s ti : letting to the tnensgement , 4 the gold fields, and upon the orderly conduct and gradually increasing prosperity of the population et the mines. The important questions of en inter-colonial character which are constantly et Sting suggest the establishment of • federal legislature, posimessing power and authority for their diervavion end determination in the interests of the Anatre lien colonies generally. I recommend this important sub ject to your early consideration. The Legislative Assembly having asserted the principle that ell legislative bodies should be elective, it will be creamery at the earliest period oonsistent with its deliberate determination that the subject of the constitution of the Legislative Council should be taken into the consideration of the legislature, and it appears to me that a fitting opportunity for this purpose will be afforded, when, by the intended revi sion of the electoral system, the opinion of the country upon , this fundamental question can be clearly ascertained. 1 It is desirable to separate the political duties of the Attor ney-General from his office of Grand Jury, and in order to terry out this reform, a bill will be introduced to authorise the appointment of a public prosecutor. The recant proclamation of the *oblige of the Sydney Mint in Victors will, I believe, be of great advantage to the colony and to New South Weise And I venture to hope that her Majeety's government may be induced to make cur rent the colonial in all carts el the British empire. GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY, The financial condition of the country has during the re cess received my most anxious attention. It ie • subject of congratulation, that the deficit in the revenue existing at the commencement of 1656, has been diminished by economy and the improved state of the public income, and that, up to the present time, I have not been compelled to avail myself of the authority to borrow any portion of the sum of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds, placed at my disposal to cover this deficit. it is not my intention at present to propose any alte ration in the customs tariff, nor to increase the amount of revenue raised by indirect taxation. The estimate. of expenditure are prepared, end will be im mediately laid before you. The utmost economy, consistent with a desire to provide for the growing wants of the rising country, has been observed in their preparation. The collection and distribution of the duties on goods en tering the colony by way of the River Murray has been the subject of correepondenoe between the government of Now South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia, which will be laid before you. It is hoped that this correspondence will lead is the completion of a temporary arrangement sari.- factory to all parties, and ultimate/ to the adoption of one tariff of customs does common to all the Australian colonies. A bill will be submitted to you for the purpose of legalising the contemplated arrangement. The temporary and varied character of a considerable por- Goa of the public debt, and the inconvenience which is felt in some instances from the want of a desirable mode of per manently investing trust and other moneys, has rendered It expedient to fund the debt of the colony on certain renditions. A measure for this purpose has accordingly been prepared, sad will be laid before you. It has been thought advisable to modify the present system of receipts and payments at the Treasury, by relieving the Minister of Finance and Tiede from the anomalous position of combining a political office with that of a public accountant, responsible for the custody and expenditure of the public money. A bill to give effect to this measure will be presented to you. A bill to establish the office and define the duties of the Auditor-General will be re-submitted to you on an early day. HONOURABLE GIESLER= OF ERB LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, ------- AND CHIFTLZMIN OP THi I.IOISLATITI correopcesdenoe on the subject will be Immediately lad beka you, and I earnestly reoosomend the IMIIMM11) to your con sideration and approval.

We learn, from the Brussels Independance, of yesterday, that M. de Broacher., after consulting with several members of the parliamentary Left, has informed the Xing that he is unable to form a cabinet. It was generally expected that his Majesty would send for another member of the Left. The object appears to be to form a purely administrative cabinet, until the general elections next June. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (mon ova owx PARIS. WIDNIIRDAT EVININO. The Bourse has been in an unsettled state all day, but without any great fluctuations. The Rents closed at 66fr. 95c., and 87fr. 15c., with a rise of fic. for cash, and a fall of de, for account. Mobilier fell 10fr. The railways very much offered. Or leans fell 16fr.; Eastern, 10fr. ; Western, 6fr.; and Northern, 2fr. 60c. Lyons and Southern were firmer than the other lines, and improved to the extent of 2fr. or Mr. Speculators still continue under apprehensions about the measures which the banks of England and of France may adopt in order to protect their bullion. It is said that the bullion in the Bank of France has diminished very considerably since Thursday last. It has been re ported that 80 millions of francs in English bills, and 40 millions in French bills on the United States have been returned protested. The Amiens Chamber of Commerce has proposed to the government a droll remedy for the financial crisis. It recommends that the usury laws, which limit the rate of interest to 6 per cent. in commercial transactions and 5 per cent. in civil 'matters, should be maintained as a general rule, bat that whenever the Bank of France avails itself of its privilege to raise its discount beyond the ordinary rates, commer cial people may be allowed to charge per cent. more than the bank, and all other persons i per cent. less. It appears to be seriously believed in Amiens that such a purely arbitrary measure as this, setting at nought the elementary principles of the laws of supply and demand, would prevent the wholesale discharge of workmen from the factories, which is considered to be a too probable consequence of the continuance of the crisis. The Pattie announces that M. de Thouvenel is so much offended with the new Grand Vizier, Reschid Puha, for having allowed himself to be made a tool of by Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, that he has re solved not to see him, and to transact official busi ness exclusively through the Turkish Minister for Foreign Affairs. These cFildish quarrels between the French and English ambassadors at Constan tinoplercallycannot be suffered to go on much longer. Although the organs of the French Foreign Office are instructed to pour vials of wrath upon the head of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, and to represent that he does just what he likes with the Sultan for his private amusement, and quite independently of the instructions and wishes of his government, I should not be surprised if the present scandalous situation were to be put an end to by the speedy recall of M. do Thonvenel. There is a report that he is to be replaced by M. de Bourqueney, the present ambas sador at Vienna, who, it may be remembered, wu second plenipotentiary for France in the Paris Con ferences. The government candidate for the vacant seat in the Seethe is M. Daubigny, a rich landowner of the department. This choice is believed to be made in pursuance of a resolution taken by the government, to issue its eongE d'elire, as a general rule, in favour of local notabilities. It is still thought that M. Jules Fevre will be brought forward as the opposition candidate in the Sarthe, although the vacancy for Paris, caused by the death of General Cavaignac, offers a more tempt ing field for the ambition of the brilliant advocate. But there was a feud of long standing between Ca vaignac and Jules Faye, and on that account it seems to be taken for granted, that the latter would not command the votes that were lately given to the general. I think, however, that this is a mistaken idea. The electors of the 3rd arrondissement did not vote for Cavaignae so much out of any personal affection for him as be cause his name was the best they could fix upon for the purpose of a political demonstration. If they should think that under present circumstances the respectable name of M. Jules Fevre would serve the earns purpose better than any other, they would make small account of the bygone differences be tween him and their late representative. The independence asserts that recruiting for the English service is going on secretly in France, and that 100 fr. bounty is given to each recruit. To make the matter appear more certain, the correspondent who furnishes this news says that he saw I,ooofr. paid down on one occasion to ten recruits. The men thus raised are, it is said, to be sent to Ineis by way of Alexandria and Sues, as quietly as possible, and when arrived at their destination are to be commanded by French officer.. Statements of this kind were circulated some time ago, and positively contradicted. Are they more true ? lam unable to say, but there certainly is an impression in Paris that we are raising men here ; for only yesterday a young fellow came up to me as I wen standing at Cialignani's door, in the Rue Rivoli, and asked me where the recruiting-office wan.

The following extracts are made from a letter re ceived by the family of a young man who, a few years once, threw up a clerkship at the Admiralty, and, after roaming about Australia, to the surprise of his friends, turned up in India, the mutiny bringing the first letters telling of his movements and the crisis in his fortunes Port Agri, Aug. 27. Here we are situ cooped up in the Fort. is yet we hue not been attacked. The reins am pretty neerlyour now, 50 I presume, unlere we speedily get reinforcements, we must expect to be beleaguered by the Own Hot and Laden foram who are all at Owelbw, about 80 miles from brae. I trust that the authoritiee in England are at last satisfied that it is a serious matter, and not to be quelled by four extra regi manta. It is a general rising in or of India, promoted by kinesulmans doubtless, but largely participated in by the Hindoos. The Bepoys' plea of religion is " bosh"--it i■ a war of otos, " Asiatic against European." Nothing can quell it but deluging the whole lead with the blood of these dastardly women-and-children murderers. Hitherto the Hindoos have been equally culpable with the Moslems, but I think they have been mach misled by the Mahoundans. I hope that already dissension is rising among them, and they are beginning to see their error (the Hindus) ; but they have gone too far in their cowardly atrocities, and no maw can be shown them. We have about five hundred repair soldiers in this Fort able for duty, besides some four hundred officers, gentlemen, and " kerresties" (Anglia, government writers), some two thousand five hundred women and children, and a few hundred native ornate, traitors in their hauls, who, In event of a'ainp, would require strict watching. We made (about fifty of us) a rid to Fatteypore about three weeks ago, and dislodged about live hundred Mew►tties (thieves). We killed ► lot and only got one of oars wounded, SO we returned in peat spirit.. I have been laid up MC since with cold and liver complant from the hardships we endured, sleeping on the ground, &c. ; but, thank Oa, I am all right spin and lit for nigger killing with the best of them. I believe if we are besieged we can hold this Fort wind any number of nigger., but their shells I fear would kill very many women and children. The number of common men (adventurers as they call them in India) who are ruined by this revolution is very great. I think myself `♦'re shall get compensation from government. At any rate. I'll try hard. I don't possess sixpence in the world at pre sent. Three months ago I consider I represented from 12,0001. to 15,0001. in timber, cub, &c., besides a good etude carriage, furniture, &c. ; but nil deep. If I live, I feel certain I shall get on somehow. If this country Is properly and vi gorously handled, no one bas any conception of its resources end capabilities. At any rate, I have never seen one equal to it, and I've tried my luck in a good many. Two days ago a detachment went out from this and killed about 300 Diggers. Very wiliafactory Ude. I told you in a former letter about one battle at -. We were under very heavy artillery lire for two hours and a half. The enemy were ten to me, and entrenched. We killed heaps of them, but suffered much ourselves. I was there as one of the escort to our guns. The Brigadier expressed hie satisfaction at my con duct in the field. THE BIOHT HON. M. T. BAINES AND THB LEEDS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The member of the Council of the Leeds Chem. ber of Commtue had an interview yesterday with the Right Hon. M. T. BAINES, M.P., at the OffieZP, 4, Benson'a- Wilding', Perk-row, for the purpose of conferzing with that gentleman on varions topics of commercial import , noe.

Lerros ' Esq., vice-president of the chamber, wee to the ibeir ' and opened the procoedings by giving • general review of the subjects that had occupied the atten tion of the council ',kW.", their teat interview with Mr. Baines, exactly a year ago. The attention of the right hon. gentlemen was then drawn to the opinions entertained by the chamber generally on the following questions " I. The delay occasioned by the present Fest-office regu lations in the transmisaion of letters Um this district to the continent. " 2. The Studs Dues slat ice. " 3. Registration of partnerships. " 4. Bankruptcy and insolvency administration reform. " 6. Provision to receive dividend' on government stock at places where the Bank of England has establishments, and for brander of stock at thole places. 6. The probable advantages, in a commercial point of view, to be derived from Dr. Livingston's discoveries in Central Africa, if, by the assistance of government, a communication with that region can be opened by the river Zembesi. "7. The attempted revival. on the pert of France, of what is practically a species of slave trade, by encouraging the immigration from Lagos or Abbeokuta, on the West Comet of Africa, of negroes into the Preach Wed Indian celerities. In addition to the evils likely to arise from such • plea, It was pointed out by Mr. Jowitt that it threatened - to interfeee seriously with the legitimate commerce which was hopefully be ing in that part of Africa." listened attentively to the remarks made on the above subjects with most of which he perfectly coin cided, and promised to use his beet efforts in the proper quarter to secure, as far as practicable, the alterations and reforms suggested. With regard to the last question, that of an attempted mitre of the African slave trade, Mr. Baines considered it ens of painful interest. It was one also of some difficulty, it being a delicate matter for the government of this country to interfere with the free agency of a power like France ; he, nevertheless, thought much might be done by an expression of public opinion in Eng land, which he nad little doubt would have a powerful in fluence in the direction required. Mr. Baines then requested the council would anthovies Mr. Swan to furnish him with the necessary memoranda with regard to the action already taken by the Chamber, on the questions to which they had asst drawn his attention, and assured them he ehould be ppy at all times to communicate with them individually or through the secretary whenever occasion required. A vote of thank, having been given to Mr. Baines for his kind offer and his attention to the interests of the Chamber, the meeting beets up.—lade Mercury of this day.
