IT is affirmed in various quarters, with more or less of confidence according to the temperament of the o7eratory, that Lord Valium:4 intends to propose to Parliament sweeping changes in the constitution of oar Indian Government. Some even intimate, with • little more detail, that the days of Leadeohall-street are numbered, and that all authority over India is on the eve of being transferred to Canon-row. Acid some few even go so far as to attribute to the Palates a magnificent, and it most be confessed somewhat melo-drarnatie and clap-trap, scheme for impressing the minds of the natives of India by adding to the titles of his royal mistress that of QUICO of Ilindostao, and prevailing upon Parliament to ordain that all public business shall henceforth be transacted throughout our eastern dominions in the name and by the autho rity of the Crown slime. There is nothing very im probable in any of these versions of the rumour. even the latter may without meth violence to pro bability be conceived to be entertained by • Minister so much addicted to cowp de Midtre es Lord P %Lit a•atoN. All judicions politicians, however, will protest us /isieue spinet any sweeping changes in the consti tution of our Indian Government being pressed upon the Legislature without extensive and dispas sionate investigation being previously instituted. If Ministers avail themselves of a revolt—the nature, extent, and power of which are as yet so imperfectly t newn—rx• urge upon Parliament the adoption of an improvised constitution for India, they will expels themselves to the grave imputation of taking advantage of a necessarily perturbed state of the public and parlismentary mind to harry a measure through the Legislature which they are aware cannot stand the scrutiny of minds free from the disturbing influence of passion. If Parliament comply with such urgency oo the part of Ministers it will lay itself open to the equally grave imputation of legislating in undue haste under the unworthy influence of panic. The truth is that all information regarding the outbreak and progress of the mutiny of which the public is as yet in possession, points to some cause which has its mainspring not so much in the constitution of the frame-work of Government as in some peculiarities of the policy of Government * and in certain minor administrative details. Whoever the authors of the revolt may have been, or whatever the agency they have brought to bear on their tools, one thing is certain, that they have succeeded in de bauching and luring from the paths of loyalty the whole of the army of our principal Indian Presidency. This being the case, the first and most obvious in quiry which it will be the duty of Parliament to in stitute is —What was it in the composition and organisation of the Bengal arity that rendered it so universally accessible to temptations to mutiny ? The next inquiry to be set about ie—To what ex tent has the mutiny of the army been sympathised with or abetted by the general population of liin dostan ? If it shall appear that any considerable por tion of the population has made common cause with the mutinous soldiery, it will be necessary further to inquire whether they have had any real grievances which may have prompted them to grasp at some chance of redress by such wild and irregular means. Lastly, as it is confidently affirmed that an average degree of watchfulness would have enabled our raises—here and in India—to foresee the coming dela and to avert it, and, moreover, that their ineeeintion and tardiness have impeded the suppler Side of the revolt and the restoration of order, the conduct of the authorities during these troubles ought to be fairly but searchingly scrutinised. The result of all these preliminary investigations and deliberations ought to be such reforms in the organisation and working of our Indian army and of our Indian civil service as may be found advisable; and the censure, and removal if necessary, of all proved public delinquents. This is the practical way of dealing with the Indian molt in the Legislature. As the circle of &stream occasioned by want of employment expends, the expediency and deity be come more and more manifest of dealing with it in a spirit of considerate forethought, end in that spirit alone. To yield to 'mere impulses of compassion. and to promise immediate and indiscriminate relief from pressure to multitudes who have been suddenly brought face to face with want, merely because the calamity has come suddenly, or because thousands instead of a few scores call for help, is but rank selfishness—for it is the reckless gratification of ' one's own easy-going good native, at the real culable cost to others of bitter disappointment sad aggravated misery. From such inhuman humanity the true friends of the operative oat of week may well pray that he may be delivered. His true friend is the man who tells him truly what really sea be done to sid him and what can not—who tells him what amount of assistance he may reasonably hope to obtain, and what is beyond the scope or power of any ordinary law to supply. On the other hand, every true friend to the safety and the good repute of property is bound, at • juncture like the present, to discountenance, plainly and perempto rily, all pragmatical adherence to the forms and cere monies of public relief, which in affluent times may be useful and proper, but tenacity of which in Acuson* of emergency ia utterly intolerable. Good government consists in neither suffering property to shirk its obligations when heavy, nor in letting it be swamped in • vain attempt' to make it pay for work when the produce will sot sell: jest administration consists neither in telling the people popular lies about its ability to secure them competence, nor in letting them go to the wall without any effort to help them to save themselves from extremity. It was the sniveler perseverance in the one mune that dog that pit of pauperism prior to lea which threatened to engulf all healthful industry and *elf-reliance in many parts of this country. It was the rigid and ruthless enforcement of the opposite extreme, under tho drat Poor Law Commissioners, that sowed broadcast the seeds Orrin diaffeetion, and severed for so any years the middle sad working classes in sentiment and action. We are glad to observe that, practically, people are beginning to move along that Mill ex cellent way on which they are impelled by the sense of neighbourly duty, and guided by a sense of what is wise and just. Persons of weight 1 and judgment at Nottingham, Macclesfield, and other pieces, have—without wasting time in debuting siseral theories, or waiting for unconditional orders Mat are not likely to come from headquarters as to , what should be done in each particular cue--pru• badly and humanely set about grappling with the present nen-malty in a manner which, if not in the abstract free from fault, is probably the best that under all the circumstances could have been adopted. We will listen to no red-tape criticisms upon mea sures thus manfully improvised—until after the season of adversity shall have paled away. This is clearly one of three seasons for which red-tape has rimer been able to make any adequate provision. The waters of want have risen, and all the varnished wicker-work of precaution against petty imposition and the gradual growth of laziness is utterly submerged, lost to sight, and effaced from the immediate considerations of men as though it had wee been. Temporary occupation for those who me soddenly flung out of work—no matter of what emt—for the time, and as much plain food as will keep lb in the hungry, and keep fever and pestilence w - mss arc noble, priceless, inestimable benefits to mean for society, and blessed are they who have the Christian energy to undertake and the business like sense to execute them. Let nobody suffer himself to get bewildered by sinister suggestions that these exceptional expedients for tiding over a grievous exigency are but modifications of that great bugbear Socialism. You may give anything a nickname : soldiership has been called " the butcher's trade," and the observance of the established ritual has been sneered at as prayers by machinery." But heroism is heroism still, and the holy iteration of man's penitence and hope is precious still, in spite of intolerant or sceptic sarcasm. And men who have the moral courage to snatch their tottering neighbours from the brink of ruin, with the full consciousness that the abyss is open, and that to save others they must tread firmly nod run no risk of adding to the number who may bedrifting thitherwards already—these are real baw -1 etors of their kind, these are precisely the men who met not be disparaged or run down on any flippant ass sophistical pretence whatsoever. It behoves us all in times like the present to keep steadily and constantly in remembrance the great distinction between defensive measures agaiost an un locked for invasion of want, and permanent measures he the employment of labour or the relief of the destitute. If either the givers or MbetiTOTl of aid will insist upon confounding these things together, sad will insist spas the expansion of a systematic method of relief, vklk all its cautions and costly 19,11111161111 of mmildnst, to such dimensions ea the pain awls( the Your would require, then we say at ewe, nod*, et all ems be done. No regular Poor Law, It for a meml so edition of things, is or can be made fit for pulling a whole population through a winter flood of hunger. You want capacious rafts hastily and rudely knocked together for such an occasion, not a score of official boats with their trim cut and spotless uniforms. The one will float multitudes over the surging stream—the others would be swamped ere they had well loosed from their moor ings. To attempt, for example, to provide adequate work, or anything like remunerative wages, by any multiplication of devices for the purpose would be simply a delusion. We have not forgotten the frightful blunders of this kind committed in Ireland ten years ago; and the similar mistakes com mitted in Prance in 1848, with still roar terrible consee”.---- SW Court. WiIWOOL SATO MAT. To-day being the anniversary of the Princess Royale birthday, tho bend of the Royal Home Guards played a corals on the south terrace at 7 o'clock in the morning. The genie* of Windier, consisting of t►e Royal bone Guards end the 2nd battalion of the Fusilier Guard', pa. raded in the quadrangle of the Clads, to witness the cgrantay or the presentation of the Victoria Cross by her Majesty the Queen to Lieutenant Teesdale, of the Royal Artlllay ; Lieutenant Symons, 6th battalion Military Train (late of the Royal Artillery); Ensign and Adjutant Craig, 3rd battalion Military Train (late of the Scot. Fusilier Guard.) ; end dieejeant Melons, of the 13th Dragoons. The Queen and Prints Consort, accompanied by the Prince of Wake, the Princes Royal, Prince Alfred, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, Princess Alice, Princess Helena, Princess Louisa, Prince Frederick William of Prussia, sad Prince Leiningen, entered the Quadrangle soon after II o'clock. The Duke of Cambridge, general commanding In chief, and Major-General Sir G. Wetherell, edjutent.general, end the Equerries-in-Welting, attended her Majesty. • " ' The , Queen was received with a royal salute sod went down the racks, after which the preesatattos of the crosses took plate. National workshops we all now understand are nothing short of national frauds, which are not likely to be perpetrated again, let us hope, among any civilised people. The utmost which any public organization can attempt honestly, with the view of meeting some temporary derange ment of the labour market, is to furnish temporary and partial aid for the protection of human life. Food this year is happily cheap in comparison with former years, there is therefore less difficulty in securing a loaf of bnsd to him who cannot buy it for himself. If he won't take it because he does not get all he wants beside, or the price of all he wants, then the just inference is that he baa other seseruces which he does not avow, and in the general effort it is of the utmost moment that these should be made contributory. And if individually or collectively any chance job of extra work can be thought of by the humane and thoughtful of the locality, so mush the better. Inatever keeps strong hearts from brooding over their troubles and gives tough hands something not wholly useless to do even for a week or two, helps to the general end. It lightens the ship ; only let it be remembered that it last a sacri fice and not for the benefit of the owner or even of the crew. Infinitely preferable would it be, were there a choice, to let such work wait till it should be done in the ordinary way. It is but a make-shift at best; and let our suffering fellow-countrymen tint out of their heads once and forever the beggarly and beggaring dream that any succession of make-shifts and unnecessary works are to be relied on as a re source or refuge for displaced industry.

The Emperor, the Empress, and the Imperial Prince, arrived at the Tuileries from Compi4ne, according to expectation, at about half-past three this afternoon. Although the report that the English government was forming a foreign legion for India has been re peatedly and authoritatively denied, the Courrier du Bus Rhin now asserts that the head-quarters of an English recruiting establishment will be opened at Strasburg on the let of December next. It even gives the names of the officers employed on this ser vice. They are—Colonel Hudson, commanding; Major Cafe, Captain Wilkinson, paymaster ; Captain Wendt, quartermaster; and Captain Herring, assist ant paymaster. Major Cafe and Captain Wilkinson are favourably known in Strasburg, having been there when the Anglo-Swiss Legion was raised. The election for the vacant seat in the Berths commenced this morning. The only candidates ap pear to be M. d'Aubigny (government candidate), and M. Richer l'Evtque, President of the Chamber of Commerce of Alencon.

" • There is a talk of a grand dinner to be given in Paris to the directors of the different railways by the Parisian press, in return for the many invita tions sent to the journals for railway inauguration banquets. . . The Press' says, in its weekly commercial re view : Retail business has been more satiefectory this week, parti cularly in the reedy-made and isorrialtd. shops. The first symptoms of cold have produced a great effect In stimulating winter precbases. Moen thefts', the sales are gasendly less remade-table than they usually ere at this time of the year. The factories are in • complete state of strewth.. Manu facturers do not seek for wises, because they could oily ace cute them on dinedvantegeous terms, and with the prospect of payment ate long date. The great object with all coin inervial people seems to be to limit business for the present, sad to husband their memos fora more favourable period. The Paris manufacturers have suspended their preparatioes fur New Yeer's•day. They are sot disposed to give any credit. This state of things was inevitable with discount at 10 per cent. No foam are, however, entertained about the bills coming due neat month. The 31st of Deciseabse is a lees important day then the alit of October end the 30th of November, because it is very usual in those two months to settle tranaections by bills for the end of Isnuerp. Advice from the provinces show that the crisis is very pnersny felt. Limited production Is the order of the day everywhere ; Mayen are few, slthough what few bargains are made !mediae see all to the advantage of the buyer ; but prises are by no maxis =llona. It frequently happenathat the very same goods are sold at a reduction of from 16 to 20 per cent. by a particular house, while soother will submit to no reduction whatever. Lotion from Rosen, Mulhouse, Roubsic, and Lyons, state that the quantity of goods manufactured is far from being sufficient to supply the average wants of consumption, sod it is therefore to be expected that whenever the eel ivel of business may come, then will be a very great demand. The upward movement in rein and flour which occurred when the decree permitting the exportation and distillation of corals was ironed, is checked, and prices have been very weak latterly, both at the l'aris hales and in the principal country mar kets. Speculation stands completely aloof, and the ordinary wants of consumption aro insufficient to absorb all that is offered for sale. Sugars, oils, and In remain without any (other fall. Wines are less buoyant at Derry. Some holders L: gin to think that they most resign themselves to a fall. The Ford states that the Conference of Paris is put of to the month of January. I stated some time since that it would probably meet in that month, and have never credited the report of it being sum moned for the 10th of December. PARIS, SATVILDAT EVENING. The Bourse has been calm, with a very moderate amount of badness doing. The advice, front Lon don were considered somewhat better, and Consols coming a shade firmer, the Bente rose for aooount in the middle of the day t067f.10e., but it receded to yes terday's price, 66f. 93c. for the close.

Exchange on English bills was in great request to-day at 25f. 15c. and 23f. 470. short. The Press* denies the truth of several vague rumours of failures of French bowies which were circulating at the Bourse. There is, however, a good deal of uneasiness about the state of Lyons. Lord Brougham left Paris this morning for Cannes. A decree in the Moniteur repeals two previous decrees prohibiting the exportation of wheat and barley from Algeria. THE EXPLOSION AT MAYENCE. A letter from Marino gives some further details of the late catutrophe in that city : The street. of Kastrich and Om presented the moat hor rible scene. The most heartrending cries were heard to pro ceed from beneath the ruins, and on every side were to be I seen mutilated bodies still writhing in the agony of death. The place where the tower stood now presents the appear anm of a large hole, all the masonry work, even to the foundations, having been scattered in all directions end to en immense distance. Several sentinels who were doing ditty near the place were thrown into the ditch. Three outs, each harnessed with four horses, which happened to be crow ing the bridge over the ditch at the time, were also blotto into the ditch, where all the animals wens killed. Whole families have been destroyed together. An artists of the theatre who was in the street had both legs carried away by a stone u though with a cannon-bell. The office of the Jounial tie Noyeriee, which was at least a quarter of a league from the spot, was demolished by a large man of masonry work falling on the roof and going through to the foundations. The editor wee at his desk at the time, but providentially escaped almost uninjured. As, according to the affirmations of the military authorities, no one had entered the remains on the day of the catastrophe, the explosion must, It is thought, have been spontaneous. A great number of workmen are employed in chairing away the ruins end bodies constantly got out, but up to the present time, it is impossible to form any correct idea of the number of killed. The hoepitals aro completely full of the wounded. The streets which have been destroyed were principally in habited by the poorer classes. MINISTABIAL NOVnaNrs.

The Bank statement shows a handsome gain in coin, and the only adverse feature of the market is the probability of a more active renewal of specie shipments. The figures of the took statement show much the same features as that of the previous week, • large increase in the specie end deposit lines. The accumulation of specie, dots., is even larger than was generally ant icipated, and is likely to be Increased by foreign and Californian re. ceipte before shipments to Europe can make say serious Inroad upon it.

The government has received intelligence front the military post at Leavenworth to the effect that the Mormons are calling in their people and making preparations to resist the troops now on their way to Utah, under command of Col. Johnston. There is no doubt of the truth of this report. The breaking up of the Mormon congregations in the Atlantic States, the exodus of the Saints from Carson Valley, the defiant speeches of the head men at Salt-Lake City, and the thorough military organisation and martial spirit that began at Nauvoo and is continued in Utah—all confirm it. But there is little probabi lity of the Mormons currying their threats to the extreme point of actual collision with the forces of the federal government. In order, however, to be prepared for even such a contingency, the adminis tration will, it is stated, direct Gen. Harney, now in command of the troops in Kansas, to remain at Fort Leavenworth; and in the event of hostilities, that distinguished officer will be despatched, at the head of a large force, to the scene of action.
