OWL( tM and Tevistock are vacant—the one by the promotion of Mr. BYNO to the higher representa tive post of member for Middlesex—the other by the melancholy death of Mr. I%IIEI PLATT, who was returned, as may be recollected, along with Mr. COMMIT at the late general election. Oldham is one of the modern constituencies created by the Reform Hill of 1832. It is in some sort an out lying farm of Niuvichesteer political husbandry ; and as might be expected its three coarse shift is seldom more varied than the natural diversities of sympathy in cotton and its manufactures will allow. At one time the master interest prevails; at another, that of the operative. Now we have "short time" in full blow ; again " beim: faire" predo- minates, and gives promise of abundant fruit. At first nothing would go down at Oldham but Coseerr and Cobbettisro. Then came the second stage of FILLDEN and Fieldenism—not very easily distinguishable from the former save by its lack of wit sod want of nervous vigour. A great change far the better was that which gave Wit-Liam JOHN SON Fox to Oldham for a representative. Ts eloquence and earnestness of purpose wu then for the first time added a genial spirit and unaffected toleration of difference in opinion —graces and gua rantees for doing justice to all men, which Lanca shire in general, and Oldham in particular, boa rarely seemed to seek for in her public men. Mr. Fox, without any connexion with the place, other than that which admiration of his talents as • writer and a speaker had created for him, was twice returned by large majorities, and sat for Oldham for the ten years that elapsed between the carrying of Free Trade and the recent dissolution on the China Question. A better representative there could not be. l)ili. gent in attendance and regardless of personal or party prejudice is his votes, his sympathy was ever manifested fearlessly, though moffensively, in fa vour of the inadequately represented class from which he originally sprang. There was about him not a trace of the swagger sometimes betrayed by men who have Ibeced their way upward in life; nor a sour,d of that canting humility in presence of opu lent and well-born dulness which makes the people too frequently ashamed of the men of their own order whom they have sent to Parliament. Mr. Fox was unanimously renpeeted by men of all social conditions in the House of ' Commons, because he was one of the few men there who was recognised as thoroughly respecting himself and never forgetting the respect due to others. Though full of sarea.sm and fond of timely jest, nobody ever accused him of saying a saucy thing to an opponent; and though ready to yield unaffected deference to greater experience in a leader of his party or • responsible Minister, no one ever suspected him of trimming or truckling to snit the whim or pleasure of those in power. His views on the great subject of education were to some ex tent peculiar; but they were advanced with a gentle yet irresistible suasiveness that made many a gen tleman, of moderate parts and immoderate desire not to be wheedled oat of the opinions he had swain to live and die in, exceedingly uneasy, until ousel loud-sounding champion of " old high and dry"l had assured him there was nothing in it, and ground the familiar see-saw ditty in true barrel-organ style long enough to obliterate the recollection of the perplexing plaueibilitice of the plausible little radical orator fur Oldham. For our parts, Mr. Fox was a man whom we without a sense of pride walk into tte House of Commons; and among the many sad and shabby things perpetrated at last general election, none filled us with more disappointment and disgust than the stupid blunder of letting him remain lowest on the poll at Oldham. How it came about, or why exactly it was done, matters not now. Fate has presented the constituency of that metropolitan borough of the North with an unlocked-for oppor tunity to efface their error. We hope nothing will prevent their doing so. etc expreoo. TO CORRESPONDENTS. V••OrnroU 1,., kI I r Tee r1711, r gwk. r•Prieg ram, ••wit Iv .tw OS" 10.

WE are resolved to re-establish our empire in India. The only instrument we can use for that par lors is the British .army. Is the Government using worry mesas to place and keep this instrument in a state of etficien:y ? Do not let us sup pose that the task which has been cast upon us will be of short duration : that the straggle will be short and decisive. We have to create a new army. We must look to a permanent addition to the Euro pean torn sin the East. Nor is this all. No one ran read of the overwhelming disparity in numbers' between the natives and the Europeans—of the Herculean labouni imposed on our soldiers—of the deadly effects of cholera, fever, and sun-stroke, without sad forebodings as to the fate of those gallant melt who are stemming the torrent of rebel lion till reinforcements arrive. We tremble to think how few of the British officers and men in India List Jane will ever revisit our shores. Watching and toil must inevitably make fearful harm even amongst those who hare for some time been in India and have become acclimatised ; but the fate of many of those who will aeon arrive in India, and upon whom will at once be thrown we-emulated labour, it is not difficult to conjecture. There are, indes 41, souse 30,000 men already on their way to India, but we must remember that t►ey will not reach Calcutta together. They will not arrive in a body. Detachments will come dropping in, and they, we presume, will be for warded in separate bodies up the country. It is obvious that this will sensibly add to their fatigue. It is one thing to advance in a compact body to un dertake a great operation, with ample numbers, and with the various duties so dietnbuted that no one is overtasked : it is another thing to join in separate detachments an already exhausted army, decimand by disease and war, and for a time at lewd to under take the *Arne mass of various duties by which an army has already been worn out. The encoonriag Sam ensues into the field under every disadvantage. Even now, from private letters, we hear something of the effects of the climate upon men landing at this mason. No doubt the wild excitement -the filed resolution to avenge the unutterable wrongs inflicted on our countrymen—nlove all on British women and British children—will do much to sastain the strength of the m why- landed troops and to drive back even Death fur a time. Nevertheless, our lose must be serious. In short, to any man of common understanding it is obvious that our ranks must be decimated ; and it is equally obvious that they must be recruited. It is no slight task to keep up an army of 80.000 Europeans in India. And unless we make preparations on such a scale we cannot 'noire our Indian Empire. We mast leave nothing to chance. We must subdue Bengal, and maintain Bombay and Madre*. We mast execute a terrible vengeance, and that promptly, on (very human being who has lent his finger to those atrocities which disgrace humanity. But we most do more. We must not only revere order within our own territories : we sm u t overawe every I'otentate of the Fast. We must teach the nations—Nepaul and China, Affghanistaa and Persia—that our arms are not yet paralysed, that we can still wield the sceptre and the sword. Eastern people are proverbially influenced by the imagination. This is an opportunity for us to teach them a lemon which will lire in their memory for centuries. As we have said, the only instrument by which these results are to be achieved is a British Army of some 80.000 men. We do not say that that nomber must of necessity be in the field. Bat preparation must be made to bring that number into the fleld if necessary. And how do the Govern ment propose to do this ? Tavistock is in many respects the antipodes of Oldham. Its climate, surrounding scenery, occupa tions, actual size, and all the inter-acting influences that conspire to affect its political character, ere as unlike as possible. Yet in political feeling the Devonshire country town and the Manchester suburb are not so wide apart. If the inhabitants of both could vote by ballot without the interference of either landlord or employer, we do not say that they would select their representatives from precisely the same intellectual class of men, but we are disposed to think that they would send to Parliament men who upon the most stirring and mementoes ques tions of the day would probably be found voting in the same lobby. Sir Jones TRELAIANT and Mr. J. Cosnerr, the two remaining members for their respective boroughs, are seldom very far apart in their parliamentary course; and were the elec tors left to themselves we do not see why the two member, to be elected ss their colleagues within the next few days should not add to the phalanx of resoluto and progressive reformers. But Tavistock is one of those places which were originally held as defensive outwork. of here ditary privilege in this country, and which in the conflict of 1832 were but partially dismantled. One half of its lordly walls were levelled at that time ; the ploughshare of reform driven over the ruins; and good healthy ten-pound franchise sowed where they had previously stood. The remaining half still stand where they used to do, and out of the crumbling and devoted gateway there is seen to emerge peri odically a ducal nominee, of whose fitness, claims, or opinions the dumbfounded onlookers know about so much u the gaping crowd that follow the Nawab of SURAT'S carriage in our streets do of his history, grievances, er pretensions. By the terms of a sort of bargain said to have been come to between the electors of Tavistock and his Orace of Benroan, they have been graciously permitted without molest ation to do what the law enjoins as regards one member, and be is permitted, without protest or mur mur, to do what the law forbids as regards the other. Thus Taviatock rejoices in one representative and one appointee. It is the people's own fault if they choose an incompetent or undeserving person for their member; but do what they may, prefer whom they please, trust whom they will, they cannot in fluence in the least degree the inscrutable counsels of Woburn. The Duke of BEIVOILD may ira- We have no desire to mess unfairly on men who are charged with the terrible revonsibility of saving an Empire. But in all sincerity Ministers do not seem to be aware of the magnitude of the task which they have undertaken. Lord PALMERSTON, indeed, is said to have declared that if tho Dela news from India was bud he would embody every militia regi ment in the kingdom, and send every soldier to India. If he did, he would deserve the thanks of his country. But what has he done? He has simply added another hittolion to some of the regi ments of the hoc. and ha, embodied seven militia regiments. Now this is wholly iiisafficient. What re 7,000 Militiamen ? In a crisis such as this the Militia must not only itself perform important military duties, but it must be the reverse for our Army in the field. If we are to have en Army of anything like 80,000 in India. frees what source are its ranks to be filled except from the ranks of the Militia ? It was idle enough to send striplings to the Crimea. According to Lord War, the boy offitrr had not " a bit more know " ledge" of his professional business than a civilian ; and the General irt command wrote home that if the men sent out were not soldiers, it would be better to send none at all. The neglect of such a warning for coos was idle enough and cruel enough ; hut to do the same thing again would be unpardonable. We, must have a reserve of trained soldiers, old enough to stand the climate and the Coigne. That reserve most be drawn from the Militia; and if it Is pose upon them whom he will ; and an intelligent ) freedoms-loving,. and perfectly un eorrdellted . body a electors find themselves apparentli too few to assert sucoassfully the full 1 measure et their undeabted rights. In the present iewattest the exercise of ducal authority seems to be characterised by no other purpose than that of main taining the arbitrary principle of nomination pure and simple. Had his Grace thought fit he might have used the occasion to bring into Parliament some man of talent who had never been there before, or some man of distinction who bad been displaced at the last dissolution. Nothing of the kind is con -1 templated. A nephew utterly unknown in the poll • tical world is the chosen individual w hom irresponsible I" privilege delighteth to honour. It is difficult to un derstand an act so gratuitously provocative of • bitter ridicule and reproach. The electors of Mid r diesel, without one dissentient voice, adopt a near relative of the House of BEDFORD as their freely chosen representative, and in the very same week • if not on the eery same day, the noble head of that - house marks his sense of the compliment by throw ing the seat for Tavistock to a young gentleman who has done, and said, and written nothing that any • body ever beard of as even a presentable passport to public fame.

Possibly we do the Duke of BEDFORD wrong. It may be that in a real, though esoteric zeal for the cause of Parliamentary Reform he wishes to take or make an opportunity for showing up the hollowness and absurdity of the nomination system. Perhaps as he read the last number of the Edinburgh Review, he said within himself, "I will expose the baseness and 0 falsity of its excuses for preserving a non-elective 0 scheme of representation ; 1 will demonstrate the " folly and fatuity of keeping up nomination boroughs " r postern-gates whereby genius may enter the " Legislature ; I will prove what is the natural " use of such seats by returning an unknown " youth of my family for Tavistoek, and that will ' stir the country from its apathy to reform!"

They have considered their personal responsibility a sufficient refutation of any untrue and preposterous statements that have obtained circulation, as to pro perty asserted to have been left by Mr. Jerrold; sod they now merely add that unless they had thoroughly known and, beyond all doubt, assured themselves that their exertions were needed by the dearest objects of Mr. Jerrold's love, those exertions would never have been beard of.

By the recent treaty it was stipulated that the places in which the British con suls were to reside in Persia were to be determined by convention, and in respect to their organisation, England was to be placed on the footing of the most favoured nation. This nation is Russia, nod it is Russia which is now offering objections and urging Persia to require a modification of the terms of the convention. FRANCE AND TUNIS. MARSEILLES, Bern. I.
