On the 13th of October Brigadier GIANT everts& Colonel CIPZATEILD and seemed the coaamad of the edam eider that odloer, which, 'numbed by Ourios hem, accented to 3,300 men. After beating the =any at Hanonj on the 23rd, Guar and GILTATIUD reached CAI.IIpOER ea the 26th, where they received a further weenies to their numbers. Being now 6,000 strong they crooned the Ganges on the 30th, and on the 3rd of November reached Alumbegh, where they halted to await the joining of the Commander-in-Chief. Sir (OLIN Cis tee Lt., as we knew before, left Cal cutta on the 27th of October; be reached Caron pore on the 3rd or 4th of November, and crossed*, Ganges on the thh, with 6,000 men (another di spatch Bays 7,000) of all arms, to advance epos Luckoow. On the same day he telegraphs to Lord Casitima, "All right at Lickiwir." Gen. Wtiottan wee left in command of the reserve at Carrupore. What numbers he had with him is not mentioned. We know, however, that the Limper, mutineers, who had crossed the Oenpe, and were threat ening the left flanks of the English detachments advancing in summer= on Cawnpore, had been driven from their position in advance of Fat tehpoee, after a severely contested action, in which Colonel Poverty the allow in command of the British, fell. After the action, a portion of the naval brigade, which formed part of the force under Colonel Pow found it expedient to fall back ca Futtehpore ; bat the infantry pushed on and readied Caernpore on the 2nd of November. It hes already been mentioned that the enmare forest to the north. west of Carropore had been dispersed by &Wks GRANT'S column on its advance. The reesrve at Cewnpore and its communication with Allahaberl may therefore be regarded ea ware from any serious attack. On the 12th or 13th of November the British troop; et Alarabegh would amount to uremia of 10,000 men, a fares to which it was im p:sale that the 30,000 native soldiers—most of them the very indifferently disciplined troops of the Oude -Zemindare—could oppose any effective resistance. The f 41•08 under Sir COI IN CANT RELL would be nearly double the samier of what was stated by Sir /ANN/ OrTlAll to be necessary for the relief of the Raddeney. It would be sutcient not only to effect this purpose, but to keep permanent hold of Oak. The only set-off against these 111.00ftite is the continuance of disturbances in Malwa and Bandelcund ; and these disturbances, the work of predatory tribes and inconsiderable chiefs, will be suppressed as soon as government is re-oesenisaL Honour to whom hosier ie due. Sir Coux CAMPBELL, u w expeetied by all who know him, has " let no gram grow at his heels." We speak not only of his own " double quick " march to Cawnpore, but of the contagious influence of his promptitude, which has enabled him, with very de fectire means of transport, to push on 6,600 men to Cawnpore by the beginning of November. The energy and promptitude of Sir Jour Lewarycx, and the ulcers who have co-operated with him in the west of India, had been equally admirable. That immediately atter the WI of Delhi such a large proportion of the samiling force should have been detached in time to reach Calm pors—aftsr fermi hard contested actions by the way—before the end of October, proves that our offlaws in command in that die- Chet are men who know the vale* of time—the Out great requiaPe of commander. Nor are the bravery and military skill of the English leaders in India more remarkable than their cordial co- operation and appreciation of each other's merits. It is delightful to rend the hank, hearty, soldierly ex pre lion cf entire Anibal cceedence in the first tele graphic communications of Sir Crum CAMPBELL and Heraeoca. The sustained energy, prompti " tads, and Tiptoes action," Sir Couit tele respired as the 19th of Avast, "by which your " whale proceedings have been marked daring the " late dilleult operations, deserve the highest praise, " and it will be a most agreeable duty to se to wake "known to his lordship the Gorranca-Gexxast " the sense I entertain el the able manner is which " yea have carried oat the bliblietielle Of Sir PATIIIICE " Hamm.

"and how nobly they hare enniatained than qualities " tar which British soldiers Iwo ever ham &tin " gaished—bigh courage and endurance.

I esteem repelf meet foe " *ate in haring the benefit of your rt. " riatanee, end that I should find you in the important situation in which you are placed "at the moment." General HAVELOCI'd response, despatched on the 21st of August, was conceived in the same generous and confiding spirit r—" I cannot " express the gratification with which I have " perused your Excellencj'a Telegram of the 19th " instant, which has just reached me. The appro " bation of my operations and views conveyed to me " by so distinguished a soldier more than repays " me for the labours and responaibilitien of two ardor " one campaigns, undertaken, of necessity, at a most unpropitioua season. My soldiers will u highly " and deeply value your Excellency's appro " Dation." There is something glorious in this natural freemasonry by which real widen recognise each other the cement they come in contact—even though it be at the opposite ends of a hug electric wire. CoLIM CAMPBELL is sincerity itself, and the little demomstrative though pro foundly feeling Threw= is unapt to give vent to his emotions in words. Them rata muss what they say ; end in their sentiments of brotherhood all their leading brothers in arms participate. Their relatices to each other are akin to those which we find de picted in the correspondence of Anrera WU.Laet Br, June Mitcocm, and TIMM Muwuo, during the glorious campaigns of the Damn, and afford a guarantee that the straggle of 1837, commenced under each disastrous auspices, will yet foroiab—has, indeed, already furnished—the page of the future Maori= with well-fought fields, worthy to take rank with Aesaye. Gallant 'olden have already been stricken down— the LAWIENCIS, Nexus, Niczoimoics, and SAL KELL* ; but their places have been taken by the GIANTS, ORIEATIUDS, and WINDHAMS ; and should these—which OoD forbid—fall in their tura, there are among those who follow them " a thousand good " as they" to step forward to the front and fill up the gips. The financial debate of last night in the Hoses of Commons really turned upon an exceedingly small point. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER haring—in compliance with the suggestion of Mr. GLAD4TONE and the evident feeling of the Hour— es rented to exteed the scope of the Committee of last Session on the Bank Acts so as substantially to Imbrues an inquiry into the commercial causes of the late crisis, had left but little ground for Mr. DISRAELI to rest his opposition upon. The admis sion he proceeded to make in the canna of his addreim tended still further to narrow the area of dispute. Mr. Doiturtes saeudment was that no further inquiry was needed into the operation of the Bank Act of 1844. Sir G. C. Lawry declared that as far as that Act affected the question of Bank of England issues, the inquiries of the Committee rem completed and would not be resumed ; as far as the Act of 1844 acted the question of the Country Bank lines in Ireftend, many points still remained to be cleared up. The Committee had not yet col lected materials for forming &satisfactory opinion on the question how far it would or would not be advisable so far "to develops " the Act of 1844 as to recommend that absolute exttnetkin of Country Note Mears which, according ter the views of away financial authorities, that Act evidently seitemplated. The Committee had made no pester progress with the question, how far, if Country imam wets to be continued, it would or would act be desirable to require an additional guaran tee for those trines. Bir 0. C. LEWIS also pointed out that the Committee of 1864 had before them not only the Act of 1844, which related only to the Bank of England and the English Country Banks, but also the Acts of 1846, which regulated the imams of the Scotch and Irish Banke. Upon the state of thous Beaks it was desirable that there should be inquiry, and that in quiry had not been made. Besides, the Com mittee of 1836 had not yet reported, sad to affirm by a Resolution of the House that further ia quiry was unnecessary would be necessarily to de prive the Country of the benefit of their opinion. No ooe will deny that these considerations supply in themselves a sufficient case for farther inquiry ; but they do not form the whole case. It is the best feature about the recent discussions on these subjects, that there is on all hands • die. position to attribute increasingly leas importanse to the mere issue of convertible Bank notes as a pro ducing cause of over-speealatioo, excessive trading, and consequent mercantile distress. The great truth is admitted by the leading financial debaters on both aides of the House, that it is to the derangement of Credit and Capital, and not to alterations in the amount of Currency, that we ere to look for the causes of such a mercantile crisis as has lately been prevalent in every great trading community through. out the civilised world. Currency laws are not the generative causes of those mercantile crises that are brought about by over-trading. The primary eases is a vast aomunalation of ready loanable capital, a consequent low rate of discount, extreme facility of amosseninion, and, as necessarily connected with these, unheeded confidence, and all but unlimited reedit. It may be, it often has been, that at such periods the mere currency—the quantity of coin and convertible notes in the hands of the publio—is re latively small, nay, is absolutely less than at periods of comparative mercantile depression. No doubt there is a period when the quantity of available currency becomes all important ; bat it is not at those times of expanding trod, and unlimited confidence daring which the materials of future panic are being gene rated by the abuse of the credit system. It is when credit is shaken—when confidence declines—when acoommodation ia difficult, and discount high—then it is that the quantity of convertible paper that can be supplied by the peat central leading establish- I meet, the Bank of England, becomes all important. Then, too, it is, and then only, that the evil is felt of a law which fixes an arbitrary limit— calculated for quiet times and ordinary exigencies —to the intent of nets scamamodation which the Bank can give. The history of last crisis cannot be more Maly or vocrisetly given than it was last night by lir. Dieanctt. It was produced by a&- ran gement ofCapital and Credit, and was aggravated by a Currency law. Applying awes admitted fees to the real paint in inne het night, they certainly seem .t first sight to Mal both ways. 11 the mischief of PEEL's Ast it principally felt whoa a crisis has actually super. 'sued, and as sere years It is to be hoped nay elapse before another mercantile derangement of equal gravity will rem, Bir O. C. Lime hes good ground hr somenebsg that no urgent nossmity In male eat it immediase legielaties. Oa the other head, if the eterhaeim it the Bank of England es terieby the AEI of 1844 is admitted fo %in been the, :principal .agent, net in causing, bat in 'gyn. %Eng the into oriels, and if on this pint of the cam all inquiry has been, as f3ie G. C. Lewis allows, already exhausted, there is a prised/Me case made out for proceeding forthwith to legislate on this part of the case. When, however, we come to consider the fluctuating and undecided state of opinion on some of the most important points even of the mere Currency Laws ; when we consider that important questions u to the English country, Scotch, and Iriah Loam have scarcely been touched an ; still more, when we reflect that no investiga tion has yet been directed to the action of the Joint Stock Banks and Discount Houses—the argument for further inquiry is not to be misted. The system of the Joint Stock Banks, in connexion with the Discount Houses, is now one of the principal means of massing together the investments of one portion of the community for facilitating the specu lations of the other. No rational man can fail to agree with Sir 0. C. LEWIN, that the vast expan sion within the last few years of this system, however good in itself, ought to be inquired into. It may be found impossible to effect, or unde sirable to attempt, any restraint by positive legisla tion upon the exegeses to which the system has been undoubtedly carried ; but at any rate it is an object of legitimate and useful curiosity to ascertain as far ea possible the exact mode and the precise degree in which it has affected the operations of commerce. From the studiously guarded expressions of the CHANCELLOR of the Exateutraa, very little could be inferred with much certainty as to the extent to which he was disposed to go in the modification of the Act of 1844. The principal point on which he appeared to be of opinion that some change might be made was the introduction of a relaxing power into the Act, as recommended by the Lords' Committee of 1848. This relaxing power, he was disposed to think, should be vested in Government and not in the Bank; there being, se he justly pointed out, something exceedingly like a practical salseims, in imposing restrictions on the Bank by one set of clauses in the Act, and conceding a re laxing power by another. Another point on which seemed tolerably clear was, the expediency of making Bank of England notes legal tender for the whole of the United Kingdom. But on the whole his tone was eminently cautions ; nor did he on a single point commit either himself or the Government by any decisive pledge. It might have been well for the financial reputation of Mr. DIARAILL if ha bad been in some respects equally reamed. On many points his ideas were undeniably just in themselves, and sufficiently felicitous in their expression, but every here and there he was betrayed into an incorrectness of phraseology, and a reckless ness of statement, which created some misgiving se to the degree in which his remarks were the result of profound study or dexterous cram. On the whole, the CHANCELLOR of the Exowacstria had not a vary great deal to reply to, and succeeded in carrying his motion for a Committee by a majority of 178. tbt Court. 0112011N7/1. Dec. 11.

The following telegram was received at tie Foreign-office last night : MALTA, Dun 9, 3 4.x. Captain Lore, in charge of despatches from Lord Canning, states that Lord Conning received the following telegraph from Sir Colin Campbell, dated 9th November, Cawnpore. " All right at Luck now." Bir Colin Campbell crossed the Jumna in Cawnpore on the 9th of November, and stated to have 7,000 men with him to march on Lucknow. General Windham at Cawnpore, in command of reserve, and wee to march on to Locknow, ae soon ae two other regiments joined him. Captain Peel, RN., was at Allumbagh, with a few of his men, some 32-pounder guns. The next (sic) were on their way to join. LYONS, Admiral. Cmlied, Dee. 9. Received 1.11 p.m., forwarded 6.30 p.m. CRAIG, Consul. The following Telegram was received at the Foreign-office, yesterday, Dec. 11, 1867, at 6.16 p.m. ALEXANDRIA, Thic. 6. The Bombay reached Sues on the 30th November, bringing Bombay data to the 17th November. Greathed's column, after the battle of Agra, was pushing on with all haste towards Cawnpore, when, on the 18th, Brigadier Grant, of the 9th Lancers, joined, and took command. On the 23rd, they arrived at Banouj, where the enemy was cut up by our cavalry, and five guns captured. The force, now about 3,600 strong, reached Cawnpore on the 26th, and, being reinforced to 6,000, crossed the Ganges on the 30th; they reached Allumbagh without obstruction on the 3rd, and there wait till the Commander-in-Chief join. them. Lucknow, said to be auvrounded by 60,000 insur gents, had not been relieved at the date of the latest advioes, but still held out. Our force at Allumbagh, only three miles from Lucknow, though in easy com munication with Cawnpore, had not received a line from Lacknow for more than a month. Heavy fighting, with slaughter, believed to have occurred. Sir C. Campbell, who left Calcutta on 27th oo tabor, reached Cawnpore on 3rd November, where he remained till the 9th, waiting, it is presumed reinforcements which must bring up the force at Allumbagh, when he joins, to close on 10,000 men. On the lit November an action was fought near the village of Budjnai betwixt the Diaspora mutineees and a detachment of 800 men, consisting of part of the Naval Brigade and a detachment of the 93rd Highlanders, with two 9-ponnders, under Colonel Powell, of her Majesty's 63rd Foot. Oar suc cess was complete, but lON heavy, Colonel Powell being among (the killed]. The Naval Brigade after wards fell bank on Hinkle, with a view of returning to Futteypore, and the rest at the troops reached Cawnpore on the 2nd. The Rohileund rebels have again advanoed to wards Nywetal, and again taken to flight on finding that the little force from that place was approaching. Mehidpore having been attacked on the Bth of November by a body of insurgent tribes from the neighbourhood, a portion of the Milers Contingent joined the enemy, killed Captain Miles, Dr. Caney, and Sergeants-Major O'Connell and Madsen ; cap tured the guns, and oompelled the other troops to retire. According to latest amounts from Bombay, the Ist, 3rd, and 4th Divisions Nina= Cavalry, ander Major Orr, attacked the rear guard of the rebels on the 12th Nov., at Barr avowal, recapturing the whole of the guns and stores taken from Mehidpore, also two of the enemy's guns. Ons hundred of the enemy killed ; 74 prisoners. Our casualties not yet received, but said to be severe. The column antler Brigadier Showers has cap tured Ahiyjur, Dadree, Munoond, and other places south-west of Delhi, securing upwards of 70,0001. of tvaasure. Farther north, Van Cortlandt still keeps the country in order. The district between Agra and Meerut is so quiet that the post and passenger carriages run daily between the two places. Eastward of Oude the Nepaulese Contingent has gained two victories over bodies of the insurgent/. The steamer Bengal reached Sue: on the 3rd inst. from Calcutta, but brings no later dates than those from Bombay. Thu dates from Hoeg Kong are to the 30th Oct. Preparations were being made for the mouth of Canton. (Signed) JOHN GREEN. Monte, 11th Dec., 9.30 sm. RAVEN. (BY II AID lIZITTOK TILZOIAPI.) SATURDAY. The Valetta arrived here this morning. at 7 o'clock, with the India and China mails. The mails left at 10 a.m., and will reach London to-morrow afternoon. THE BELGIAN ELECTIONS. The result of all the elections is known. The number of liberal deputies, which wu 44 in the last Chamber, is now increased to 39. The liberal majority is 30. In all the important towns--Brassela, Antwerp, Ghent, Liege, Bruges, Mons, Tournai, Charleroi, Verniers, and Nivellea—the catholic party las been unable to elect a single candidate. MM. Damon and Mercier, both ex-ministers, were defeated, the one at Tonnisi sad the other at Nivelles. M. Delahaye, the late Proddent of the Chamber, was defeated it Ghent.

The Bank returns, which were looked for with unusual interest, are considered to be even more favourable than was expected. The two symptoms which generally announce the termination of a crisis are observed in them—the augmentation of the metallic reserve and the diminution of discount accommodation. The metallic reserve, which lost month had fallen off thirty-six millions, has now honeyed by forty-nine ; it has not only recovered itself, but ie higher than it was in October, and within ten millions as much as in November. Ths discount accommodation, on the other hand, which horn 609 millions in October fell last month to 588, is now only 311, that is to say about; the same a/ in March and April hut. The metallic reserve of the Bank now exceeds by more than sixty millions the amount of one-third of the notes in circulation. The Bank, however, has still been obliged to make great sacrifices to purchase bullion, the premiums under this head being even larger than they were in the preceding month, namely, 1,576,029 fr. in plus of 1,227,443 fr.

The the other day, said, in re. ference to the Courrier do' Paris, "We deny the right of any one to profess to be more liberal then ourselves, in the sound acceptation of the term; thus reminding one of the old ironical saying, typial of the wantonness of despotism, " personae n'aurs di l'esprit qne nous et nos amis." The Courrier noit replies very well to the Constifidionsel, and proem by its antecedents since 1848, that it is less libetsl than the Emperor, as shown by apt quotations Las his speeches, and than the constitution of 1832, is shown by extracts from it.
