A DOUBLE NUMBER of the " EXPRESS " will be published TO-MORROW. IT is rather vaguely announced that Governmen will send a "steam squadron" to India. If by this' it is meant that Government is about to despatch a number of our screw line-of-battle ships to India, the measure cannot fail to be productive of the hest results. Anything short of this will be unavailing. The importance of the presence of a strong fluid force at the present crisis in the Indian waters has been denied, but upon utterly untenable grounds. It is alleged that " the presence of one European regiment in Upper India would outweigh that of a steam frigate in the Bay of Bengal ;" that "the mutineers will not select the sea coast as the scene of their operations." That is not the question. The arrival of a couple of line-of-battle ships in each of the harbours of Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta, would give confidence to the European inhabitants of these cities, and strike panic into the bosoms of the mutineer+ throughout India. The inhabitants of the three Residencies know, from the annals of the siege of Sebastopol, what service our blue-jackets can render on shore. They would feel perfectly safe so long as they knew the crews of two or three men-of war were within hail, and could be brought to afford them protection at a moment's warning. They would see with tranquillity their towns denuded of European troops, and the whole of our effective English soldiers marched to Bengal. On the other hand, these mighty ships would be regarded by the natives u the avant-couriere of a mighty English army. Their arrival would set all the pens of the native news-writers into prieternataml activity ; and the news would fly like lightning over India that an immense army of Englishmen was on its way to trample out every spark of disaffection in Hin doetan. A moderate number of first-rate ships of war would be of more avail in the harbours of the Residencies than a dozen of regiments in the interior. On one point, however, the sceptics as to the value, at this time, of a naval force off the coasts of India, are in the right. Our large war steamers ought to be used se transports. Ia war, promptitude of action is more than half the battle. The costly experiment of converting all our first-rates into screw steamers has been justified on the ground that the change neces sarily imparts additional speed and certainty to all our naval movements. If there is truth in this allega tion, to freight sailing vessels to convey troops and munitions of war to India, when our roomy and swift men-of-war may be employed for that pur pose, would be the height of absurdity. After pro curing at an enormous expense the very best ships for warlike purposes, are we to continue to use the old-fashioned and inferior ships? A notion appears to have gone abroad that the Admiralty deem it inconsistent with the dignity of men-of-war and their crews to perform the service of trans ports. No true soldier (whether by land or water) can think anything beneath him by which he can accelerate or render more euro the march to victory. The ascendancy of Eng land in the wars of the last 300 years his been mainly owing to the singular aptitude possessed by Englishmen for the combined operations of land and sea forces. The clerks of the Admiralty and the civilian Lords of the Admiralty may fancy the dignity of a Queen's ship compromised by its being employed to expedite the arrival of soldier, and munitions in India ; but we will be bold to may that a notion so absurd never crossed the mind of any true sailor. Our gallant seamen will be but too proud to assist in wafting their brother warriors of the land, with all their arms, more speedily to their destination, and in taking pert in any operations in India in which their services cab be available. Settlers' stores may be entrusted to hired transports; but men, horses, and arms ought to be forwarded with out delay by the QUEENN steamers. It has been known from the beginning that more European regiments are urgently wanted in India; and now we are told "the Bengal establishment ia, unfortu nately, deficient in artillery." Why, want of artil leg may enable the mutineers in Delhi to prolong their resistance, and thus give insurrection time to consolidate and organise itself and to draw to a head. Who that is at all conversant with modern English history can have forgotten CAN WING'S glorious burst of eloquence when he described our English men-of-war slumbering on their shadows, yet, amid their seeming inert nem, ready to rouse and ruffle their wings at a moment's warning? The might and efficacy of OUT menof-war have since CANNING 'S time been augmented immeasurably by the application of steam ; and shall we not avail ourselves of our in creased power ? The pragmatical slaves of etiquette, -who counsel such abstention, must be descended in the direct line from the worthy spouse of the Vicar of Wakefield, who, to vindicate the family gentility, made each of her daughters carry about with her a guinea as pocket money, but with strict injunctions never to change it. IT was determined yesterday by the Liberal Members who met at the King's Anna to eon- THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1857. eider the present state of the question for the admission of the Jews into Parliament, that Mr. Diggwrg's motion should be postponed to Lord JOHN RussELL's Bill. The object of Mr. DaLvryles motion is to enable Baron Rums- CHILD to take his seat at once as member for London by a resolution of the House directing the Clerk, in administering the Oath of Abjuration, to omit the words "on the true faith of a Christian." Lord JOHN RVBSELL is to move for Wave to bring in a Bill to amend the Ist and 2nd Vic., c. 105, whereby persons arc allowed to have oaths administered to them in such form as they shall deem binding, by extending its operation to the oath of abjuration and the case of the Jew. Thera is something no doubt to be said in favour of both these modes of proceeding. Lord JOUN Rl'S _ sues plan is more straightforward in itself, and I would be far more complete in its results, imumiach u it would dispose of the question in its entirety. and ' admit the Jew not to the House of Commons only, by virtue of a resolution, but to both Houses by the law of the land. On the other hand, it is open to the very obvious objection that it involves fighting over again, with no greater prospect of im mediate success than before, that interminable batt:e which has just been waged in the House of Lords. It is urged that their lordships will be reluctant again to place themselves in determined hostility to the expressed wish of the Lower Branch of the Lcgiir Ware. This reasoning will hardly command the assent of those who recollect that the admission of Jews to Parliament is an object of principle on the part of the few, rather than of demand on the part of the many. Yon cannot get up a popular ' agitation about the exclusion of the Anglo-Ilebrewo from the Legislature of their country and it is only to a popular agitation that the Tory and High Church party in the Lords are, on such a question, at all likely to yield. We believe that their Lord ships would not be less likely to reject the Bill of Lord louse than the Bill of Lord PAL/lIKKYTON—it Bill for which, with all his power, the I'rime Minister was unable, on the occasion of the last division, to command the votes of all his own On the other hand, there is much to be said in favour of the view advanced by Lord BBRINGTON and other speakers at yesterday's meeting. The Lords excluded Lord WENALEYDALY. by their own resolution; why should not the Commons admit Baron Roinscumn by theirs? It is objected that the Baron, if thus admitted, would run the risk of incurring the penalties of the law. It is not for us of course to pronounce an opinion on a point like this. The case of Alderman SALOMON 9 supplies no analogy, for he took his seat without oath, and without any resolution of the house to protect him in so doing. It is obvious, too, to observe that the resolution of Mr. Dtxxwvx does not commit the House to anything like • suspension of the oath of abjuration (which might, perhaps, be con tended to exceed their powers), but only to an ad- ministration of it in such a form as to render it bind ing on the conscience of the taker. We arc quite aware of the importance of united action on such a question as this, but we cannot avoid ex pressing our strong conviction that the mode of meeting the difficulty proposed by Mr. I)lt.t.wvx is both more practicable and more dignified than that recommended by Lord Jolts RUSSELL. There is this to be said, that should Lord 'owes Bill meet with that reception in their Lordships' House which we fear there is too much reason to anticipate, it will be still open to the House of Commons to fall back on the motion of Mr. Dtm.wvs. In one way or another a final and a speedy end must be put to this miserable source of bitterness and strife. WITIT sincere pleasure we learn that Mr. TIT %me- I RAT'S prospect' of success at Oxford grow daily more promising. We have a real respect for the talents of Mr. CARDWELL, though we think them very much over-rated. But even though Mr. CasoweLL's liberalism were of as hearty and un compromising a character u Mr. TITACKERAVS, Mr. CARDWELL is last in the field. Mr. CARDWELL did not address the electors of Oxford until he was sertain that Lord MONCIL was going to shrink from the contest. Mr. CARDWELL has stepped into Lord Mosex's shoes, and offere himself in place of that desponding candidate for the honour of representing Oxford. Mr. C %Row sa.t., in short, stands upon the "end-tape interest." In the Edinburgh Review, and other organs of the bureaucracy, a lamentable howl is at present being raised over the prospect of Parliamentary degene racy from a deficient supply of men trained in the details of administrative routine. The Edinburgh Ravine has made a desperate onslaught agsinst Mr. CHARLES DICKENS, not for any sins against the canons of aesthetics' criticism, but for speaking blasphemy of the great red-tape body. The Edin burgh Eerie'', advocates Parliamentary Reform— read backwards, like a witch's prayers—in order that more red-tapists may ha pitehforked into the House of Commons. It is the votaries of I this heresy who aro now running Mr. CARD WELL against Mr. TIIACKERAT. They cannot deny that Mr. CARDwELL, like all the so called Peelites, is addicted to play at hawk and buzzard between Toryism and Liberalism. But they say he is a man who has official experience, and therefore especially qualified for the work of Parlia ment. Now we do not deny that it is essential that the great Bureaucratic body should have its representa tives in the House of Commons, just as the Bar, and the Railway interest, and the Shipping interest, &c., &e., should have their representatives in Parlia ment. But it is also our rooted conviction that the Bureaucracy, the Bar, the Railways, the Mer cantile Marine, and so forth, ought none of them to be allowed to become the prepon derating itaterest in Parliament. We bold it to be of the utmost consequence, that while there is a sufficient sprinkling of men trained in administra tive office, of lawyers, and the like, in the House of Commons, the preponderating element in that body should consist of men untrammelled by _ . . . professional conventionalities. For this reason we are glad to sec a strong admixture of country gen tlemen and mercantile men ; but we arc not quite Imre that theme two classes alone adequately repre sent the opinions and sentiments of the whole com munity. They are accustomed to look at questions of public policy too exclusively from their respective points of view. The country gentlemen, with some exceptions, are bent upon upholding the influence of the landed aristocracy, and with it the interests of agri. culture and the (lame Laws. The merchants are often animated by a spirit of antagonism to men of old family, and think only of what can promote trade. We want an increase of a class of members who may in scene sort hold the balance between these CAPULITII and MONTAGU/A of the British House of Commons—who, recognising the merits of each, are blindly subservient to neither. This class we would call the scholars of England. It embraces men devoted to science, successful cultivators of litera ture, and artists. This clue derive from their habitual pursuits a generous elevation of senti ment that renders them less the thralls of mere material considerations than our indus trial classes are apt to be ; leas bigoted in their veneration for old families than oar landowners are apt to be ; yet capable of appreciating tho in domitable energies of the former and the high polish of the latter class; and, above all, inspired with a just pride in the maintenance of the honour of England. Among men of this class Mr. THACKERAT holds a distinguished position; and therefore, though we would gladly see Mr. CARDWELL again in the House of Commons, we are far more anxious to see Mr. THACKERAT there. The respectable red-tapist class to which Mr. CARD WELL, belongs is already amply represented in the House of Commons; the high-spirited and generous profession of which Mr. Tuscxxatx is an orna ment, very inadequately. Besides, there are many constituencies capable of appreciating the peculiar merits of Mr. CARDWELL. Wherever railway pro moters, lawyers, or special mercantile and manufac turing interests bear sway, Mr. CARDWELL'E dexterity in forwarding their local and personal views will be regarded with admiration. But the constituency of Oxford is not the mere subservient instrument of such influences. It is composed of independent men not deeply immersed in specula tion, with little to gain from litigation, and who ought to bo capable of appreciating intellectual eminence. We have too few constituencies of this character, and therefore when we find one we are the more urgent that it should send to the House of Commons a representative like Mr. TIIAEKERAY. We sincerely hope that the City of Oxford will do its duty on this occasion. flit Court. The Queen held a Court and Privy Council at three o'clock yesterday afternoon at 13uekinsitam Palace.

THE WESTMINSTF.R IMPROVLMENT COMMISSTON. —A bill promoted by the mortgagees of the Westminster Improvement Commitooon, to old them in realising their seuritom, bars been thrown nut by the parliamentory emn roittee to whieb it be•n refereed. It was opposed byy the Committee of Bondholders of which Mr. Berottotont is choir man. From the eroeseet.tmination of Mr. Hope Scott it appeared that the e.no Of the opposition was that under the priponed bill the mortgagees might get paid. but if eo there would be nothing left for the bondholders, and thcretore.the Later could] not realise without further power, it was a co-c fora compromise bill rather than a 101 l to enable the mortgagees to perfect their securitien. Among the iiiertga gees promoting the bill were—the Loudon and County Bank, the Commereiol Bank, klenra.

It woo said, lo At tit the mate of the ',nape as ooinpArml with ours. A savage anions savaged wan Ivry well, awl the differenee was only }nonfood when he come to he introduced into civilised soiety." "Ili, friend Dr. Johnson, wet of opinion that it was not right to teach reed ing beyond a certain extent in 'pasty." The sante feeling continued. Mr. l'eel, in bia blandest tone,, attacked the eslunition committee.

By a telegraphic despatch we learn that modern French literature brie lost tho moat jovial, the oo*t popular of her sons. Pierre Joan Beranger, whose illness we have already onnounixxl, expired yesterday in l'aria, in the eeveuty-eighth year of his age. From the first all hopes of his recovery were prohibited, but, prepared ae we were, we ettranot without * shock reoeive the Dews of the death of ono who, for nearly two ithirele of a century, bee held a pro minent place, not only in the affections of hie countrymen, but in the estimation of the world. Viewed as a literary man, in his own peculiar line he was without a rival; brjedidous friends have trumpeted forth his praises as a pear dopy...ire rang, and wished to sesame fur him a posi tion to which he never aspired, and to which none knew better than himself that he had no just clean. Sprung from the people, his highest ambition was Ile be the people's bard, and he knew that le be listened to by thein he must not be full of detail and verbiage, but eau.et write chart pithy verses from which the thought should stand out in bold relief, and be at once ap parent to the reader. That he succeeded in the line of writing ho undertook is kdisputable, and while his " Clovis," 11 Deluge" and " Dandy Jugement" have long since been 'Yellowed up in the see of oblivion, his charwomen,. will live for ever—aye, and would live, though the art of printing itself should fail, fur there are thousands id workmen and posaante in Frame, who, with out being able to real • word, are well acquainted with Diranger's lay., wan have learned them from their fathers, and will teach Clem to their children. Unlike his own Roi d'Yvend," thus is no fear of the deemed poet being " pee conen laza l'histeire ; in crowded workshop., in roadside nibarete, at village fides, and all thou,' harming joyous finned., so priced and so frequently taken advantage of by the French lower order., tbo name and memory of Biranger will be loved and reverenced, and Ida verges yid be the staple mega. Nur, although no courtly rhyntetter, no palace laureate, should his memory bo despised by thole Pitting in high plaices, for what Inbdin was to the leritish sailor, that was lie ranger to the French *oldie', and de hearty patriotic inspiring amo.. did almost es much ti popularise the name of Na poleon and the Grande drool, as did the victoria. which they celebrated, and the glory they predicted. The deveased post was been in Paris, August 19, 1784, of bumble parentage, and I. his earliest year. was brought up by Ilia grandfather, • tailor. Ile witnessed the taking of the Bastille in 1789, and we then removed to the care of an aunt, who kept :131 inn at Peronne. Here ho Out learnt to road. At fourteen he was apprenticed to s printer in Peronne. Somewhat later he attended • primary school' founded at the same place. At sixteen is returned to bit tither at Perk, and having attended emit theatrical rem sentations, ho resolved to attempt a conaMy, and produi rel Los Hermaphrodites." At eighteen ha projected the writing of an epic, to be called "Clovis;" this he proposed se the task of the succeeding twelve yaws. Ile aban produced vorace on sacred subjects, rams of which have boon given in the edition of kin works edited by M. Perrone, and publitibed it. 11134. Them performance did not improve his fortunes ; and, reduced to great die teem, he thought of proceeding to Egypt, where Bonaparte then wee, and whose first STICCOIRP• had excited extravagant visions of glory and prosperity among the French popula tion. The return, however, of 1011.0 members of the expedi tion dissipated Bininger's dream, and be retwiinod in l'aria. It was at tbie period, when suffering from his dieappointed hope*, and even actual indigence, that he seems to have re solved to be gay, if he °odd not be happy, and he produced his " Boger Bolsterer," " Le Orenier," " Les (deems," and "Le Vita Habit." They were not immediately moos fel; but in 1803 he sent some of his poems to Lucien llo• impute, who promised to ameliorate his situation. Lucien we. suddenly called to Rome. !Wronger thought liimeelf forgotten, when a letter rarer from Lucien, r eigning to Iliranger his income aa a member of the In stitute. He next obtained some employment as an editor, and in 1800 sea appointed • clerk in the secretary's department of the Academy. Ilia songs were now becoming popular in every quarter. During the " hundmil days" of Bonaparte, Wronger refused the lucrative 00'4 of censor. In 1815, when he published hie first collection of songs, which were popular throughout Fence, he wee informed that it would his dismissal from the office he held in the Academy. He wavered not, and was retained; but in 1821, when the emend collection was published, he was at once discharged. Ile wrote more and more poignant satires upon the government ; he was prosecuted, and sen tenced to three months' imprisonment and a fine of 500 francs. In 1828 he published him third collection. For this he was again prosecuted, and was condemned to nine months' imprisonment and • fine of 10,000 ?ranee. Cgmfined more strictly in the prime of La Force, the undaunted poet continued ale attacks on the faults and follies of the government, and then remarkable lyrics aided not a litt'e In accelerating the fall of the Bourbon.. In 1830 the revolution of July would have acted forme ably for ft.tranger's fortunes if he would have given up Ids beloved independence. Ile says, "1 wsa treated With IN one of the great powers ; " "satiety all my friends have become minister* ; " "unfortunately I have no love of Pinworm, and all compulsory labour has become insupport able." We-anger waa convinced that France was not fitted at thin time for a republican goverment, and he supported the establishment of a Vraiged saonarrhy. In 1833 he published hie fifth and last collection of songs, containing mine of hi. most striking pieces. After the revolution he was elected, in April, a representative of the deportment of the Seine in the Constituent Artmenbly, by mote than 200,000 votes; bet in May be sent in hie resigna tion. It wan unanimously refused, but a week afterwards he renewed it, and it wra accepted. Ilf tenger continued to write, Ent not to publish. He is known to have hod a large colketion of songs, and to ham employed himself also with a " Biographic. des Cm temporains." Biiranger, of late yearn identified himself with the republican party, and did not attempt to conceal his aversion to the Imperial reginse. Sit much was this the ewe, that th e French government, in determining to rerogni w hi e charar'er ILA the national poet, appear also to have turiumed and to have acted upon the assumption that the fenced would, in the ordinary course of things, be made an oppw tunity fora hostile politics' demonstration.

DEATH OF BERANGER. (BY eVNY•ItIHP. AND lIRITINIt TRI.POILAPH.) PARIS,FatuAy Moanixo. Arranger's death is announced. The Emperor hos decided that the funeral ex penses shall be defrayed out of the civil list. Only those who are specially invited will be allowed to follow the deceased poet's remains to the grave. (FROM OUR OWN CORIESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURMDAY EVANINO. The Courrier de Patio says:—" We believe that nothing is yet decided u to a visit of the Queen of England to France at the beginning of the autumn" The Empress is going to the Porte St. Martin this evening to see the " Chevaliers du Brouillard," a French version of " Jack Sheppard." By the death of the Marquis de Belmont, one of the Emperor's Chamberlains, a vacancy occurs in the Corps legislatif for the second circumscription of the department of the Basses Pyreams. The Bourse opened with the name flatness that has characterised the last few days ; but, on the news arriving that the Bank of England had lowered its discount, there was a brisk upward movement, which, however, was not fully sustained to the close. The Bente rose 23c. for cash, and 15e, for account, closing at 06fr. 90c. and 66fr. 9Se., after having been quoted at 07fr. The railway settlement went off very well. It was not possible to invest money in carrying over accounts, the operations of speculators for a further fall sufficing for all the wants of buyers who desire to hold on. The Northern and Lyons lines rose 12fr. 50e. each, and most of the others were quoted I fr. or 2fr. higher. The statue of Dr. Bichat, the last work of David (d'Angers) was inaugurated this afternoon in the Grand Court of the Ecole de Medicine. Bichat, who died upwards of fifty years ago, at the early age of 32, was the most celebrated medical reformer in France. His " Recherches our is Vie et la Mort" has a European reputation. In 1845, a medical con gress, composed of delegates from all parts of France, sat for many days at the Hotel-de-Ville, and at the end of their discussions they resolved, out of grati tude to the memory of Bichat, to present the Faculty of Medicine of Paris with his statue, and also to give him a solemn public funeral. Bichat, who died at a period when the wars of Napoleon absorbed public attention, was interred privately in an ob scure corner of the cemetery at Clamart, celebrated by Jules Janin's description in the Anc snort as the burial-place of criminals. When the body was exhumed it was found that the head was wanting. Now Biehat's head was one of the largest ever known, taking rank with Cuvicr'a, Napoleon's, and two or three others commonly cited as exceptional. The Congress was in consternation at the loss, bat upon inquiry being made it was found that Dr. Roux, an eminent medical professor, had cut off his friend's head without ceremony, and kept it by him in a glass case in his study. M. ]tour consented to give up his keepsake to the Medical Congress, and the head, once morejoiued on to the body, was interred with great pomp at Mont farness, where a splendid monument has been since erected to Biehat's memory. The ceremony of to-day way presided over by M. Rouland, the Minister of Public Instruc tion, supported by Dr. Serres, the president of the Medical Congress, Baron Paul Dubois, Baron Larrey, and the elite of the profession, The preparations for the annual Rte of August 15 are already commencing. It is said that among other novelties there will be a gigantic model is wood on the heights of Trocadero, of the monument to the Emperor which it is proposed to erect there. A monument which, as has been already stated, will elevate Napoleon 111. to an altitude exceeding by many feet the level upon which his uncle stands in the Place Vendome. . . The heat yesterday was exceedingly oppressive in Para. At six o'clock i❑ the morning, M. Cleve' tier's thermometer marked 20 1-10th Centigrade (GS} Fahrenheit); at noon, 32 4-10ths Cent. (90} F.) ; and at two o'clock, 33 6-10ths C. (92i F.) A comiderable quantity of fine new wheat received from Blidah and Bona in Algeria was yesterday offered for sale in the corn market of Paris. PIEDMONT. Admiral Lyons left Turin on the 13th for Genoa, having on the preceding day had the honour of dining at the royal table. The l'iedmonte-c cabinet experienced a slight check in the senate on the 11th, when the bill far a new convention with the Transatlantic Company of Genoa, strongly advocated by the Minister of Finance, was rejected by a majority of 32 to 21. The Piedniuntese Caulk of the 13th publishes the law enacting that all prisons destined for persons under trial shall henceforth be constructed according to the cellular system, and those already existing be reduced to it. Persons condemned to a term of imprisonment not exceeding one year may also be confined in such prisons. SPAIN. The Madrid papers of the 12th announce that the number of arrests made in that capital up to the I Ith was not less than 1,549, and a letter says that on the morning of the 12th twenty-six others were effected. According to come of the journal., the civil governor, M. Marfori, had declared that ha could not answer for the maintenance of public tranquillity without arresting 5,000 persous in the capital, and 5,0(X) in different parte of Spain ; but these figures were thought to be greatly exaggerated. Accounts from Andalusia state that the troops were continuing to pursue the remains of the republican band, and that Cara, the chief of it, complained bitterly that some influential persons who had promised to support his movement had failed to do so. Acccounts from Barcelona to the Bth say that all was tranquil there, though the republican conspiracy had extended to that city and the province of Catalonia; lie had, however, sent out columns to scour the districts of Granalers , Villafranen, IguaLada, and Vieh.
