Hs had M er : l steedy friend of the system from its introduction to the present time. Mr. Locke had not adverted to the old eye tem of landed property in Ireland, above all its inequably, which produced a state of things that could bare evinced in no other country. He alluded to the enormous quantity of lend which remained in the hands of particular owners, while there were email tenancies extending to a degree that produced mach mischief so regards the labouring and farming demo. There was the greatest disproportion between the members of the different claws, that almost extended in any country, and the owners of land were not only subject to the difficulty of being in many instances ateentees from the country, but were the introducer* of a system of which they somewhat illogically complained, because they became by their own mete, or the acts of their ancestors, an- animate on the land by letting it on long leases, and, come queen'', could not have the mew or knowledge to Improve the condition of the estate for which they were responsible. It was cadential that the ownership of land should be distri buted warmest the mars of our people. By means of the encumbered estates they were now meeting • class of small which would be really identified with the Improve seat the land, which became their fee simple estate, which will have most beneficial result. as compared with the elate of things which formerly existed. It wee quits tine that leases were sustained at first, but let them consider what the loin would be if thee had no incumbered musks art. The observation which he intended to apply to the empire el large was, that ha did not see why this principle of the inmins bered estates art, which gave a parliamentary title, should sot be attended to estates that were sot incumtered.

A Genoese ship arrived also yesterday, the captain of which expromed his °piston that the lost vessel was from hie country.

THE INDIAN CRISIS. Bftt,—When upwards of two months ago intelli• pace reached this country that the first shock of the political and social earthquake which bee since oon vulsedlndishad been felt, and that tke pampered Janis series of the East India Company had given unmis takeable signs that through them the Lord was about to rebuke the people of England, as slothful servants, for their negligent performance of their allotted mission in the East—warnings of the most emphatic and solemn nature, as to what was impend ing, were reiterated to Government both in and out of parliament, in personal conference, and through the leading journals of the day. Refer back to the speeches of the men upon whom devolved the great duty of, if possible, averting the terrific calamities which had cast their black shadows in advance, and trace the measures which they have advocated and adopted since, and you will agree with me in pro nouncing that they were guilty of a degree of political shortsightedness almost unparalleled, and that they have added to their incompetency and culpable ignorance an obstinate disregard of the premonitions and remonstrances of better man than themselves, which entitles them to the contempt and execration of every man, woman, and child in this now dishonoured and deeply injured country. The worst culprits in this matter are undoubtedly Vernon Smith, Lord Panmure, and Lord Granville. The representatives of the Court of Directors are by no means free from blame, but military prescience, ability , and energy can hardly be expected from civilians of their stamp, and the real soldiers who compose part of that governing body have had little or no voice in the warlike preparations which only at this present time amount to what they ought to have been seventy days ago. If our sagacious, cool, and determined Premier has not risen to the occasion—if the vigorous action natural to him has been checked in mid volley—if he has been unduly anxious, with an eye to our continental neighbours, to avoid the appearance of frightened haste, and if he has trusted too implicitly to the meagre information and baseless opinion of his col leagues I greatly mistake the man if his heaviest punishment will not be self-reproach. However that may be, it is by no means too late to remedy one great blunder, viz., that of not having sent out reinforcements overland. If Lord Owning in his inexperience, and surrounded as he was by wretchedly incompetent advisers forbore to require the immediate transmission of troops by Egypt, and to intimate that vessels of one sort or another would be immediately despatched to Suez, to receive and bring to India a certain number of fighting men e fifteen days, even now at the eleventh hour let Lard Palmerston throw Vernon Smith, Lord Panmure,dc.,overboard, as Jonahs of the worst description; let him believe that those who with me advocate this all important measure really can ap preciate its necessity and probable results ; let him practically confess the mistake into which he has been led, and at once direct a fresh stream of rein forcements, even at the slow rate of a thousand men per mensem, to be poured into India by the route of the Red Sea. Faithful u the Madras and Bombay armies have hitherto proved, painful apprehensions as to their continuance in well-doing cannot be reasonably dismissed from our minds, and I have certain knowledge of the existence of an ex tensive and dangerous conspiracy against the British government and all Christians, white or black, among the Gunge Muhummedans of the Deccan. Supposing that the Company's troops, Hyderabad Contingent, dc., stand fast— even then, if the fears of the Madras and Bombay governments are verified, we shall require in the west of India at least 15,000 Europeans, in addition to 6030,000 said by the government to be now slowly following each other in small detachments round the Cape of Storms. In the North-West Provinces, if events follow each other according to their natural course, the pro gramme is simple enough. Havelock, after having relieved Lucknow, retires upon Cawnpore, re-opens communications in the direction of Allahabad, and puts down rebellion in the proximate districts. It is possible that Age may hold out ; but if Delhi has not been already taken by a coup de main, the concentration of 20,000 rebels there, in addition to the 30,000 who still oppose a determined front to our besieging army, combined with the advance of a large and well-disciplined force, from what must now be called the powerful and, de facto, independent state of Gude, may compel General Reed, or him sucomsor, to mile the siege and cut his way down to Agra, if not to Cawnpore. The consequence of such a triumph on the part of our Prtetorians would be seen in the involuntary defection of many who have hitherto been favourable to us—such as &indiii and Holkar, and of others who have at least re mained neuter,among them the chiefs of Rajpootana. Hopeless of our success, would Jung Bahadoor re main our fast friend, or would he improve the occa sion ? Disinterested virtue is an admirable thing to contemplate—when it exists. Without following out the train of probabilities—any possibilities— which ries up in gloomy succession, and which may, I pray and trust, be changed by Divine intervention into a series of brilliant sucoesees ending in the restoration of order, I say that it is needful to look the dark vision full in the face, and to avert the threatened catastrophe by hastening measures to retrieve our position, as if the worst had already occurred. Permit me to call your attention, and that of your readers, to an unusually wise and judicious letter in the Times of yesterday's date, dated from Cal cutta, and signed "An Old Indian." It cannot be too much praised for its sound views, sense, and truthfulness. Another letter, in the same paper, signed .‘ Anglo- Indian," though plausible, and likely to make a false impression upon men whose knowledge of India and its military classes is superficial, is quite opposed to the practical experience of *Beers whose lives have been spent among Sepoys. Anglo-Indian" objects to a force composed of Negroes principally on the score of " their strange and uncouth visages and un known tongues, whose nominal Christianity would be disgraced by ignorant collision with cherished native habits.' As to the nominal Christianity, and just glancing at ourselves, least said is soonest mended ; and the feminine objection to ugliness, and that of the unknown tongues, are shared by all the Arab levies in the service of native princes, and more or less by at least twenty different classes who compose our own native armies, and who nevertheless create neither panic nor disgust either in their comrades or the population. Ten thousand Negroes and as many Fingers and Hottentots would be invaluable as trained soldiers in India, and the only sensation they would cause in the native mind would be that of unadulterated funk em, &e., Sept. 2.
