WE published yesterday the" habitations relative " to the Treatment of Mutineers" which have been issued by the Govaaicoa-OeNaltaL at Calcutta. To appreciate aright this extraordinary document, it will be necessary to cant a glance at the condition of the greater part of Hindostan at the moment when it was published. Delhi still held out. The smiling force, by defeating parties of the mutineers at Hisser and Nujuffghur, had begun to narrow the range of country under their command, but it was still very extensive. From the frontier of Rsjpootana, on the west, to the frontier of Oude, on the east, and from Jubbulpore and Mhow, on the south, to the bases of the Himalaya, oa the north, the British authority was limited to those few isolated spots actually occupied by our troops. Over the whole of the rest of that wide region a revolted soldiery, abetted be the refuse of the towns, the sweepings of the gaols, and all the leaders of small bands of retainers impatient of law and order, ravaged and plundered at pleasure. There was no police, end the civil tribunals were closed. A state of society prevailed on which it is appalling to reflect, and which could only be amended by the declaration and strict enforcement of military law. The Goi aa.soa-Gexease and his Council took advantage of the moment when this anarchical state of affairs was at the surst, to aim at transferring all power of dealing with deserters and mutineers from t the military to the civil authorities. All deserters, from regiments which have sot mutinied, apprehended without arms in their possession, were to be delivered ap.to the Civil Magistrate, and by him sent back to , their regiments. All mutineers were, if possible, to be sent to .‘llahabad, and there delivered up to the Commandant ; but if, from distance or other semi, this be impossible, they were to be imprisoned till the plemare of Oovernment on be known. \I 'l ri na? . b o . loegieg teeny regiment which had k illed any Forepaw slicer, or any European, might be tncd by the civil power. The object of these instructions is palpable —they were meant to dater military officers from the Infliction of summary and exemplary punishments—. to paralyse their efforts to crush the insurreatitm by bolding over them a threat of reprimands, of worse, from the Supreme Government. Attempts have been made to insinuate that the ' undue severity of officers in command of detached parties rendered the issue of such instructions WOW vary. This is simply untrue. The instructions were prepared about the end of July, long before the unfor tunate attack of some men supposed to belong to the 10th Regiment on the disarmed &pays at Dinapore, or the surmised discoveries by General Wt Wet of murders of natives before Delhi. But even though they had been prepared subsequent to the., events, the prompt measures taken be Sir JAXI3 Orman and General Wirsos to brand and punish such excesses, show that the honour of our nation, and the preservation of discipline in our army in India, may safely be entrusted to the officers who command it. The instructions were uncalled for, and they are utterly unworkable. To amid all cap bared mutineers to Allahabad would simply have the effect of scattering all the English soldiers now in India over the country in small detachments. To imprison offenders in a country where all the gaols have been deserted by their keepers and broken open, or to try them by civil magistrates where all the magistrates have Bed or been murdered, ere simple impossibilities. The first inference to be drawn from the perusal of these instruction. is, that they have been prepared by men who are utterly ignorant of human nature in general, and of the character of the Indian insur gents in particular. Their authors are men whose minds have been petrified and narrowed by incessant devotion to the duties of mere clerks, The din of arms which resounds throughout India can scarcelYpene trate into their offices, and of the fierce and wayward i passions of the human heart they have no concep tion. The wide expanse of Hindostan presents to ' them no greater obstacles to immediate communica tion than the narrow limits of their own offices. The second inference le, that the Goezixott- Gaxtut who allowed the preparation of these in structions at the end of July, but prohibited their publication at the time, had weakly yielded up his better judgment and adopted the policy of his imbe cile tannic:lion at the end of August. The instrac tiecia now sanctioned by Lard CA/MTV:3 are identical in tone and tendency with the silly Proclamation of the Lieutenant-Governor of the N. W. Provinces, which he ordered to be suppressed In the earlier stages of the mutiny. It magma ill for the future of our Indian Empire, that its destinies should at this momentous crisis be wielded bye Council of mere clerks, and a Goveakoa-GeNtast who has not the strength of mind to resist their dictation. This mischievous interference with the free action of the military authorities in the dishirbed diarists, not the only instance of the incomotenee of the local Government at Calcutta, and its preempts... interference in matters which it does not snametand. About a month before the despatch of the Let iselb a native regiment mutinied within 200 miles of Cal mat& Up to the moment of the mail's dispatch, the Genernmeist at Calcutta had been unable to learn the whireabost of the mutineers.

Coancil--ehows how the action of the military authorities wu hampered sad paralysed. We are told that recent events have proved the utter want of military talent amongst the in surgents, and that therefore the final suppree sion of the revolt is merely a question of time. This would be very probable if the character and con duct of the mutineers had alone to be taken into account; but in all conjectures respecting the future the character and conduct of both of the contending parties must be studied. And it is scarcely too strong an expression to say that to leave our Indian Empire at the merry of those who now wield the supreme local authority, would be almost enough to ensure is destruction, even without the aid of • revolted army.

Ilis Majesty's stud and hunting equipages were sent forward this molding. The Pays says that a letter from Calcutta, of September 3, states that Sir Colin Campbell had left . . . . on the god for Allahabad, where he intended to establish his head-quarters. The Pays also says that letter from the Asiatic frontier announce that General Jacob, with his cavalry, had evacuated Affghseistan, and had arrived at Moultan, in the Panjaub on August 17. Mil presence in the centre of the Sikh country was likely to impart confidence. The Admiralty of London lately recommended that resolutions should be taken in common by the different maritime states, to avoid collisions at sea. The French government has taken rho proposal iato favourable consideration, and, I believe, a committee of naval officers is appointed to report upon it. Although very heavy sales in the Route were made this morning, sad there wal a consequential decline, the market closed rather firm.

OIT ILICTILIC 711.101AP11l (FROM OUR OWN 110111111PONDI SOUTHAYPTON, 9•naDAT. The Magdalena has arrived with the West India Iler dates arc:—Jamaica, September 27; Demerara, 26 ; Trinidad, 23; St. Thomas, 28. The specie on board consists of 433,803 dole. in silver, and 391,933 dole. in gold. From Demerara we learn that gold had not yet been found in the British territory ; the expedition under government auspices had not yet been able to report progrees. A second expedition, to proceed by another route, was on the ece of departure. The import breadstuff and provision market at Demerara was ruling at high prices ; wages were high and labourers much wanted. The canes were yielding badly, owing to the late rains, but dry weather had now set in. Sugar was Arm; freights low. From Chili there is no news of general ;iterest. At Peru the question between Catena and Vivanco was still unsettled. Vivanoo is making efforts to enable him to take possession of the Chinas islands and raise funds by the indiscriminate sale of guano. If he succeeds he will prolong the settle ment of the revolution and embalms Qat.lle. About eighty thousand tons of shipping were load ing guano at the Chinches. The export of guano for the month of August was nearly 40,000 tons. The Peruvian government have appointed commissioners to investigate charges against the consignee of their guano in London, Perim, and New York. The result of this investi gation will be, it is expected, a rise in the price of guano. Cholera had broken out in the Guatemalan army after the latter had expelled the American filibusters, and it had extended oN er a great portion of the country. In consequence of this, the exportation of large quantitiee of cochineal had been delayed. The troops, believing they had been poisoned, had mad tried, but the mutiny had been put down. The cochineal crop is above the average. The proposed railway in Honduras is popular throughout British Honduras. The export of mahogany has been reduced in consequence of the bad season. A great increase in the manufacture of sugar and rum has taken place. Jamaica has been •isited with heavy rains, and business was suspended in consequence. The brig Mai) , w•as last.

The screw steam-ship City of Baltimore, Captain It. Leitch, which sailed from New York on the lit instant, arrived here this morning. Her dates are but one day later than we had by the Persia, which arrived on Sunday. The City of Baltimore passed on the let instant the Arabia, hence to New York, inward bound; on the 3rd, a strew steam-ship, supposed to be the New York, from the Clyde to New York, and on the 13th, the Europa, hence for Halifax and Boston. There was some relief experienced, and more con fidently anticipated, in the money market, on account of the action of the banks of New York and Boston promising an expansion of discounts to the amount of three millions in each city within a week. Several of the large banks did their pro rata in this way at respective boards. Three of the savings banks have resolved to accept the offer of the Secretor, of the Treasury for the United States stocks which they hold, and 2,000,00(1 dollars are being sent to Wash ington in exchange for specie paid out of the Sub- Tresaary at New York. A correspondence has taken plum between the United States government and that of England, con cerning the possessions of the Hutlion's Bay Com pany south of the forty-ninth parallel of latitude, and within the territories of Washington and The steamer Tennessee left New Yes* on the 30th ult., bound for New Orleans. It was rumoured that she carried out munitions of war, and would receive the men for the new Nicaragua expedition at the mouth of the Mississippi. The marine losses for the month of September (including the Central America, which is placed at 2,000,000 doll.) amount to nearly 3,000,000 dole. In this sum are comprised losses both total and partial, and damages on vesicle and cargoes. COXMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. New You. OR. I.

Little or no amelioration can yet be noted in the course of the fever. Business continues almost paralysed, and the transactions in the shops as well as in the counting-houses of the merchants are almost ad nullity. The lower part of the town, which is y the business quarter, is almost deserted, and very many of the shops are closed. Every second person you meet converses about death, awes, symptoms, or remedirs. If this state of things continue, there may be a probability of a crisis in the commercial community. The Exchange and the Custom-house are nearly deserted, and the traffic with the provinces has almost ceased, people being afraid to come to Mum Among other things, I hear on good authority that the guards round the Custom-house are doubled, and the lower quarter of the city is strongly guarded—there being some fear that the mob, who look upon it as the focus of infection, may attempt to burn it down. Besides this, I am told the public are highly dis satialled with the want of energy displayed by the government in meeting this emergency; and the authorities fear an outbreak. In the deserted streets I believe many robberies have taken place, the thieves not scrupling to enter houses when the fever has raged. A strong belief exists that this fever was imported in the Tamar, which arrived here from Brazils on the 2nd ult., after an unpre oeclentedly short passage. Certain it is, some very dirty baggage brought by her was opened at the Custom-house, and all the employ Is who were pre sent have since died of the fever. I can vouch for this. Moreover, the Tamar had the fever on board, for two of her passenger, died. In consequence of the prevalence of fever in Lis bon, free pratique is given to vessels from ports in Brazils declared suspected ; from those called in fected a new regulation is adopted—the passengers may at once land, but the baggage and goods must go to the lazaretto, and the ships, on being washed with some disinfecting liquid, may go to the Quadra The ports of Sweden and Hamburg are declared in fected with cholera.

THE VERILY PRESS. " Looking," lays the Beoftinist," to all the beet end ecknowledged testa of our monetary condition, there Is certainly nothing to justify the alarm which appears to have existed. This, however, is a question eltogether apart from a high rate of discount, which experience has abundantly proved is not incompatible with sound and even with profitable business. The bullion still in the Bank stands at 10,110,00 W., while only in April lest it was as low as 9,065,0001. ; and the reserve of metes is 4,024,0001., while la April it was 3,044,0001. That some further reduction will take place is probable, if not meshy both by the payment of the dividends end is consequence of shipments of gold to the United States; but, on the other hand, already considerable arrivals of gold have taken place, and other shipments ere known to be nearly doe. Indeed, it will be seen upon examination that large an:vets from Australia usually take place during the months of No vember and December. But our future prospects probably de pend much more upon other countries than upon this. If we bad only the condition of our own trade and finance to look to, the future would be lees einbarramed with doubt and difficulty. Bet so closely united now are the monetary transectione of all the great commercial countries in the world, that whatever affects one, lase or more affects the whole. Looking only n the trade of this country, the great extent of our exports, being at the rate of more than 130,000,0001. in the year, together with other Lets, lead to a well-founded conviction that probably never at any other time was so large a balan. i due by other countries to this. Considering, therefor.•, the probable amount of the claim that may be made upon sea, that fact is most 'souring. But it fie not enough to prevent a temporary inconvenience. Securities common to this end other ms-kets may find their way here to an inconvenient amount:—mer cantile credits will be used to their full extent, and foreign bills will be discoonted In order to aid houses abroad." The United Service Gazette says: The volun teer mania has died out—Lad Penmure has declined to re cognise the martial spirit of the counters end the wanting. house, pertly because he thinks the government can do without amateur soldiers, and partly because they would be difficult to deal with. Hat the But India Directors are open to offers of service, and ws really think they would do well to accept of as many educated volunteers u they can collect. At the different presidencies volunteer corps have been formed with a liberal scale of allowancce and andations of rs"k, and we hear good amounts of the service they have neutered In inspiring the communities with a sense of security in the midst of a common and 'palpable danger. Amanitas of strength to those corps con only be obtained, to any reason ble extent, in this country; and es we feel madded that their ability in the various civil departments of the goveriment would outlive the occasion for their military employment, we would strongly wire the India home authorities not to nag lest the opportunity of obtaining such an accession to their power of governing well." Herapoth thinks that railway companies are more rabid in competition than they have ever been. "They ere jest like so many rooks each endeavouring to plunder the other. We suspected that this dishonest disposition lay with the railway board., but a director who takes an active part in hie company assured us that it was not so, that it all lay with the tretlic managere,and that if the boards wee criminals they were passive criminels. According to this gentle man the traffic managers change the rates and tariffs as they please, and rarely, if ever, consult their Boards. If therefore, two of these ;managers belonging to neighbouring companies should happen to disagree they forthwith commence ' digging' into each other's sides, re gardless of the consequences to those whose pockets have to suffer. Railway directors It NMI rarely look into the canoes and expediency of any change, but meet, take their fees, end yield to whatever thetr managers adopt. Than competitions are begun, good feelings made bad, bed toads worse, and ruinous tariffs adopted." We (Leader) believe that the cabinet has not withdrawn its contidenoe from Lord Canning. On the con trary, the fsabion is to talk of hint as the very man for the crisis. The East India Compsay, perhaps, holds ► different opinion ; but this Is not the time, we should think, which the Court of Directors would choose for coming into violent con tact with the Board of Control. The company is in need of assistanos. The million sterling borrowed from the Bank will go a very little way towards meeting the demand fiten India. There is a rumour that the Indian railway deposits will be applied as a temporary accommodation. Mip go vernment, we presume, would In that case promise an indem nity. Probably wow arrangement will be made through lie. V. Smith, with the Treasury. We have reason to think that ell the reports in circulation as to the intentions of the govern meld with respect to Indian Reform are premature. The ques tion la not one that will yet arise. Redoubt it launder general consideration ; indeed, we do not anticipate any obstinate ad hesion, spinet the sense of the country, to the t tieing form of Anglo-Indian administration. It is impossible but that Lord Palmerston should have roooviieed the defects of the eyotem, and addressed himself at least to a review of the whole subject. But there is no necemity for precipitation. Parliament will not meet before February, according to pre sent arrangemeata. The question of a Leadenhall-street Loan may then be raised. This will open the way to a dis mission; but the utmost that can be expected fir that the party Insisting upon Indies Reform may exam a pledge that the cabinet will reconsider the problem of a doable or a sim plified government. - - - - The Saturday Review complains that the Church I Miasionsry Society, in their recent minute, suggests a mea- Mt of such a character as "to make us wonder whether India is really a whit better understood in Europe than it was in the days of Marco Polo." The reform suggested Is the extension of a legislative act, directed against obscene repmentationa, to all the temples of India. " Now we are persuaded that there le not a single llindoo temple from the Himalaya to Cape Comorin in which some kind of impure symbolism cannot be detected. Is it really proposed to send the ornate of government, with chisel and white wash, into every one of these sacred buildings—with a guard of &pops, we presume, on the outside to protect the verkmen from molestation ? The notion which the society hie fathered comes, of course, from its local missionaries, and Is prat:ably directed against a particular set of idolatrous cemmamise, which ere more than ordirsully popeler In Bengal andabont Calcutta. But their object is well known. It is to mean fertility in man iage ; and in a country in which the birth of legitimate children is the central idea of all law and all usage--of everything In this world and in the next—we can hardly conceive a grower form of religious persecution than the forcible *oppression of rite, however degrading, by which the perpetuity of the family is supposed to be seemed. No doubt the view of the missionariee commands our sym pathy. The impurity of Brahminism is a proof of its low moral standing, even among false religions; and we as easily believe that the foul symbols complained of see a sore hindrance to the Christian progress of the hatf•oonveetad Hicidoo. Bat the last half of the route to troth most be got over, like the Ent, by free conviction, end not by form. We cannot tum iconoclasts in India. We cannot and we dare not; and if, m Habitats us Siero asserts, we are too good for the country, our course is dear, and we must leave it.

THE CAME AND RESULTS OF THE INDIAN MUTINY, (From the new number of the Quarterly Review.) The circumatances which have operated to produce this convulsion appear to lie on the =facie. Those whe are Intimately acquainted with the country are meetly of opinion that the native civilians prefer our government, with all It, shortcomings, to the stern and exacting sway of their own prince.. But this is • feeling which cannot be shared by the native ideas themselves. One by one they ha ve been swept away by the advancing tide of British dominion, and be who escaped to-day was well aware that the wave would engcdph him hereafter. The annexation of Oude, which, however convenient to ourselves or beneficial to the country at large, seems certainly to have been effected in defiance of treaties, was eminently calculated to exasperate the victims of cur policy. Thom who were either Imre now, or foresaw that their turn would come later, may not im probably have used their money, influence, and arguments to precipitate an outbreak, which afforded them the only chance of recovering or retaining their authority. But, independently of this impuloo from without, there were noses onoagh within the army itself to account for the mutiny. Tito Mahomatan tom loot hie military, the Brahmin is losing hie mai, busy, and the desire to recover it is a mere instinct of human nature. The supremacyof foreigner., differing from them in race, habits, and relig ion, could not but be hateful to them; and it wee a matter of course that they should desire to reverse the situation, and from aubjects to become marten. All they wanted wee op portunity to strike the blow, and faith to believe that the blow would be suceinsful. We have taken care by our con duct is give them the first, and to immix . ' them with the second. That the Bengal army had been in a perilous state for years is now universally admitted. Why, with the spirit of insubordination so rife and increming, and with so many cuss cacaos so clearly pointed out, no - steps were taken tj to.

The grouted certridgee were no doubt felt to be a reel grievance, but it was only the spark which Seed the mins that had been long preparing. Sir Cherie. Napier waa we think, thoroughly right in his claim for greeter military in dependence both for himself and every subaltern. Every Indian crisis most be a military one; sad the supervision of a civil Governor-General, much more the intervention of a civil or military board, Timid be irksome and shackling to a much less impetuous temper than that of Napier. If the offices of Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief are to be kept separate, we gall probably for some years to come not send oat second-rate or untried men in either opacity; but for a really strong and vi us adminetretion, such u Is now required, the powers s ho uld be combined. The religious scruple pretended by the mutineers at once gave the handle, so readily seized, for throwing the blame of the outbreak on the Christian rei , =iontinee and euvietiee. Lord Ellenberough, backed by Lord Lansdowne in the House of Lords, pronounced it incredible that Lord Canning should have given his subscription to a 'elision society (whose it turns out, was confined to the European Christian. 3tefeutta ) , and implied that it was enough to account for the mutiny had he done so • and that be would certainly merit to recalled. It was ;aid that we had offended the natives by forcing Christian education upon them, and had brought the authority of government to bear upon native conversion. The law lately passed by which a convert tram Hinduism wee saved from the entire lose of his property, to which he wee subject under the old libido° law, vas as alleged by Mr. Disraeli • pernicious and tyrannous inno vation. But the emuree of events soon cleared off this line of argument. Though the missionaries at Delhi and Cawnpor and elsewhere, fell in the itidescriminate slaughter of Euro pum, to., was no special animosity exhibited either against their or their quarters. In some places, as at Meerut, the atfmimary bungalow ego spared in the general ruin; at humors it was burned in cold blood by a roof-maker to get himself a job. In the Paojeub and in Benares the preachers and teachers have already recommenced their services and schools, and the natives attend them. So far from the Ben gal Sepoy being the object of missionary propagandise, the only known baptised Sepoy 01 that army was in 1519 dismissed on that very account; nether is there a single missionary station in Oude, the hotbed of the revolt. The chief fields of missionary effort and meow are in the south of India, which is the quietest part of all. The Mahe reedses, doubtless, hats as well as fear the advance of Chef'. Meetly ; but the Hindoo has never opposed oar puckers. Our missionaries have never met with such treatment in the native trumara as Wesley and Whitfield did in the market- Ouse of England. It is well known that the ministers of Christianity are generally treated with perfect indifference by the self-righteous Brahmins. They wonder rather at the ignorance of the preacher than dresd his success. Bat the mass of the people can appreciate the self-denial and devoted ness of the missionary, and only set themselves against the aggressions of force, or fraud, or law, on their faith. No doubt the bigoted Moslem and even the supine Hindoo saw symptoms of advancing light. Even in the government 'chub, the pupils might learn that the earth did not rest ote a tortoises back. The railroads, the electric telegraph, the gas, all told of innovation and strange power. The aboli tion of suttee—of infanticide—of VI —of self-immols tion—of Juggernaut abominattonrths discontinuance of grants to heathen temple., and of palates in honour of their idolatrous serviom—the permission of widows to marry—the preservation of their property to converts—all morel con quests from the strongholds of eupeeettttou and injustice, and each of itself in the eyes of old Indians sufficient to create a revolution—had gradually been ; the English, and in several cases the Christian, edie Anon of restive princes was advancing ; our own Queen had welcomed her royal In dian god-children to her own court; in a word, for the first time Mite our occupation of India, British ciciliset ion was beginning to tell, and the Brahmin and the bleelem might 7 10 y see that, unless a blow was now struck, their thanes It t m L at trat the wr mootui¢ and their marked a eetnbetzrovn.d the term of English rule; It is certain that the Mumedmans have never let go the hope of regaining their ascendancy, and it le now said that prayers have been regularly and eonvtantly offered up in their movies for the restoration of the royal house of Delhi. Bishop Heber, in his time, said that if • ' fair opportunity offered, the Musaulmans would gladly avail themselves of it to rise against us, but more from political than religion. feeling. It mast already be evident to the mutineers themselves that they are playing a losing game. While their resources in men, arms, and ammunition are daily diminishing, ours are daily on the increase. The moment the balance turns in our favour, the contest will probably be as brief as it is de cisive. Thome who are familiar with the annals of European warfare have leas reason to be apprehensive that the wrong doers will escape than that the unoffending will fall victims to the indiscriminate fury of a heated soldiery. Bat British °Moira, we feel convinced, will do their utmost to prevent the sword from lighting upon a single guiltless head. They, at least, will not forget in the hour of victory that, though it is a dreadful necessity to punish the _lt is a gamed day to spare the innocent If, in the din of battle, they could forget that they were Christiana, they can never forget the chivalry and humanity which are Inherent in to. hearts of English gentlemen. To risk their own live, and to save the lives of the unoffending, will, we venture to pre dict, be the double distinction of every commander through out the whole of the wide peninsula of India. Until rebellion has been put down and order re-established, it can be of no advantage to enter upon the greet question of the future go yernment of our Eastern dominions. The materiale which are to guide the minim? , and the country in their decision are rapidly accumulating. Never before, since we esta blished our sway, have the people of this country been wilt ing to listen to the evidence, or have eared to arrive at a verdict. Whatever mistakes may be committed before ex perience has enlightened us upon the best measures fo pursue, there wW now be a real effort to eeeure the safety and ameliorate the condition of India, and, roma by a horrible catastrophe, we shall alike endeavour to do our duty to the natives and oblige them to do their day to us.
