IN Se 11a.sere—ilmith i VIM aft LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER I. Tut country hegira to be deniname tar knowing whether we are to have ea Aaismal Ihnnicio of Parliament. Before the premaadan, Lord PALNPR fru!, gave the House of Commeme • hint that each • meeting was quite possible; and there seem to be • very general opinion amongst the older and more experienced members of the Legislaturo that it will be unavoidable. We believe that it will also be most useful. The Last ludic Company hare recently taken into their service some 40,000 of the Qt. Er.M'a trove, for which they have to provide nut only the pq sod clothing, but the cost of transport to India, and tics heavy expense of moving them great distanees Is India. They are moreover called on to make extra ordinary outlays of money for munitions of war of all kinds. In short, the Company are in volved in an immense additional expenditure, of which some estimate may be formed when it is es• ridered that the charge in time of peace in India** those 40,000 QUZENI . 4 troops would alone be equal to the cost of 120,000 native troops. The mutiny, or rather the rebellion, of the Bengal Are♦ of course diminishes the military expenditure of the Indian Government in one direction. But the coot of the native army, large as it was, wee Ism than the charge for the number of European troops ordinarily in the service and pay of the Company; and in spite of diminished expenditure on native soldiery, it can hardly be doubted that when, in ad dition to 40,000 additional QllEreel troops and the extraordinary outlay connected with them, we see the heroic LAwarscz raising an army of 30,000 &rim in the Punjaub, the rebellion will be pro ductive of a very great additional milits7 expendi ture on a military charge which already exceeded in peace twelve millions sterling. Assuming then, what is too probable, that the military expenditure of the East India Company has beep largely augmented by the rebellion, it is obvious that the territorial revenues of the Company must at the some time have seriously diminished. Those revenues are generally collected in miserably small euois from the petty cultivator, of the soil, who are always poor and needy, and to whom peace, order, tranquillity, arid security are indispensable, as affording the means of payment. In Upper India all is disorder and anarchy ; the Colleeterates have been swept away, the machinery of Government no looger exists, the great towns are in possession of our enemies, the country is covered with robbers and plunderers, the village communities are affrighted and alarmed, cultivation is diminished, and every one who has money or valuables will of course hoard, bevy, or otherwise conceal his property. la the North Western Provinces the Land Tax produced nearly six millions sterling, the greater part of which will be lost to the Treasury of India while anarchy prevails there. Large districts of the Lower Pro •ince, which were the great pecuniary resource of the Indian Government, are also disturbed, and jut in proportion as disturbances increase will their revenues decline. Like a wise Goverument, the East India Company have always kept eery large cash balances in their Treasuries; but in many in stances the cilia* have been able to rifle the local Treasuries, to the serious lone (in the aggregate) of the Company. It is very true that, before Parliament rose, Mr. ViILVON 81111111 told the House of Commons that the Queev's Government had called on the East India Company for a statement of their finances, and that the Company had transmitted to the Hoard of Con trol a statement which relieved the anxiety of the Government on that point. But we know from ex perience how delusive all statements are, and must be, where the receipts are doubtful and the expendi ture merely specalative. We know, too, that since then the Company have required larger reinforce-meets from the Qt cry's Government, that expenditure under such circumstance* most far exceed all estimates, and that the suppression of this rebellion is a question of money and men. More over, we all feel that the dislike—the natural and meet creditable dislike—which the l'ompany must have of coming again (as more than once in the earlier period of their career they were obliged to come) under pecuniary obligations to the Imperial Government, will disincline that body to take a very sombre view of their (loaners. Therefore it is that public instinct leads the country to the conclusion that the Company must require such pecuniary aid and support a• Parliament alone can authorise. And this opinion a the more confirmed when, on reference to the annual accounts of the revenues and expendi ture of the Indian Government, it is found that for some years past there has been a deficit. 11111 that in the estimated accounts for the last year, bused before the mutiny had burst forth, under the moat f►vourable circumstances, a further deficit was anticipated. It is only natural that under this state of things an autumnal erasion should be expected. We pre sume that the Vast India Company have not (aa cer tainly they ought not to have) the power of raising • loan in England. They have, indeed, a small home bond debt, on which they pay a moderate rate of inteteet ; and they have a considerable sum in vested in the public funds of the Empire, which is accumulating with a view to pay ce their capital, and so relieve the ordinary revenues of India of the charge of the heavy rate of dividend they pay thereon. Bat even if the Company possessed the power of contracting a lean in England, it would be unwise just sow to exercise it without the sanction of Parliament, and at present they could only raise money at a high rate of interest, unless they had t►e aetiatanee of an Imperial guarantee. The eountrj it, we are perousch d, quite prepared tome Parliamei t give, if it be necessary,. guarantee to an Indian ban. But, in giving Iladaii gua rantee, it will be the duty of the Legisboull fobs well assured that the Quors'A Go . . t ikt u, and are talon;;, such sten a, r ill is an man pnibability recueer India tie Englina, and se sate England from the burthen the guarantee will "there two impose tin it, and that the government of India is just now In hands and heads worthy of the national confidence. A large part of the public have more than doubts on that all.important point ; and therefore it is that Parliament may be very nes tally assembled, if only to have those doubts dia mond, and, if it be possible, removed. But whether the East India Company require a loen or nut, Lord Psnroax will, we strongly sus pect, nerd the assistance of the !louse of Commons at a very early period. At the close of the session he very prudently asked for (and procured) power to accept Militia service fur our foreign and colonial garrisons, and by this acquisition be obtained the means of despatching a considerable force from our Mediterranean fortresses to India. So far good. But we apprehend that it will be found that the grants of the Rouse of Commons for Militia pur lieus will be discovered to be insufficient for more than defraying the cost of embodying the Militia Regiments already called out, and that Parliament has not provided Lord PAN mum with money to send the Militia on foreiga service. No doubt the military expenditure ou the WIEN'S Army will be very considerably diminished by the transfer of 40,1100 QUEk:N . F troops to the pay of the East India Company. No doubt the Treasury does by the annual Appropriation Act possess some power to authorise, under special circumstances, the transf.r of grants made by Parliament for one head of Army &eel°, to another. But it would be • large, possibly an illegal, exercise of this extraordinary power for the Treasury to authorise the War-Mlles to take money voted for the Army, which is • royal force, and apply it to the Militia, which is a Parliamentary force. At all events, we trust that Lord PANIIVRE will prefer re sorting to the Legislature rather than to the Trea sury for any inch authority. le short, we do not see how it is partible for Ministers to avoid calling Parliament together ; and we are quite certain that, as a means of rousing the country and obtaining larger military moans of sup ' pressing this Indian Revolt, they could not take • ' whack".

SUNDAY EVIININO• A telegraphic despatch from Marseilles states that the Emperor will probably visit that city between the 16th and 20th of Oetober, for the purpose of examining various plans for the improvement of the port and roads; the formation of docks and basins which will be required to be made as a consequence of the cutting through the isthmus of Suez, the construction of an imperial palace, new barracks, • tobacco manufactory, the prolongation of the Cane- Were, the widening of the Rue d'Aix, and the cleansing of the old part of the town. Prince Napoleon is expected in Pais this even log, on his return from an excursion to the soot% of France. Nothing more is said of his journey to Egypt and the Isthmus of Suez, which was, how ever, certainly on the tapsi a few days ago. Possibly his departure may be only postponed until after the Emperor's visit to Marseilles. There an variona rumours 1191 to the mode in which the French government intends to give the public an inkling of what, if anything, was the poli tical result of the meeting at Stuttgardt. There is talk of a diplomatic circular addrawed by Count Wa lewski to French agents at foreign courts. Some people expect shortly to see a community, in the Monitsur, while others think that ground will first be broken by the less formal instrumentality of an ar ticle in theConstitutiorwad by M. ltenee.lf any great things had been done, I cannot help thinking that there would be leas delay in letting the vulgar know at least a little about it. The Pays of this e►et%ng, in a vague paragraph, not printed in a conspicuous form, but mixed up with the ordinary news of the day, speaks of the interview of Stuttgardt following that ',Osborne as having laid the happy oommerice- MU (les premisees heureusee) of an " alliasee be twain the three great powers that rule the world.' From this it is to be gathered, that a great deal re mains to be settled before the 'Mantis can be com plete. The Pays, however, harps upon the old theme, that a new era in European politics hu just been inaugurated, and asserts that peace, on a solid and durable basis, is to be the result of the ideas and policy of the Emperor Napoleon. The Emperor yesterday commanded grand mazioeuvres at the Chilons camp. The Empress was by hie side on horseback all the time. A grad military mass was to be performed to-day, at which the Domini soiree: foe imperateress was to' be sung by a chorus of 20,000 voices. The time of the limiting up of the camp is still uncertain, and will naturally depend a good deal upon the state of the weather. Bhou'd we have a fine October the camp will very probably be kept up till the 25th of the month. It is believed that a toms of 6,000 men will remain there all the winter, but they will be quartered in barracks of solid brick and masonry, which are now being completed. The Emperor and Empress, by the way, do not live in a tent. His Majesty's head quarters are established in a very substantial house with a garden sur rounding it. Marshal Prince Jerome, like an affectionate great uncle, took a drive to St. Cloud yesterday to see how the little Imperial Prince wee going on in the ab sence of his patents. The Prem., in its weekly oommetcial review, notices a continued activity in met of the manatee. tones of articles J. Paris. The Parisians who this ' year more than at any former period have crowded the various watering places both in France and abroad, ere now returning to Paris, and the sale of winter goods is slowly commencing. Large orders from Paris have been received at Lyons, but not, however, to a sufficient extent to make business as active as might be desired. Bilks have rapidly declined within the last fortnight. The WI in China silk is not lees than 20fr. the kilo. Buyers expect a eorrespoadieg fall in manufactured articles, but this the trade is reluctant to concede. Lyons now complains greatly of the increase of the sale of mixed stuffs, and be gins to find Roubaix and other northern towns very formidable rivals There is a very general fall in the price of all sorts of raw materials, both at Ham and Marseilles. Corn and flour are lower, the markets everywhere being well supplied. The Brants:or, Spectator, John Bull, Leader, Beirs I. Je in London, and Sun, were seized today, on account, as it is supposed, of remarks made upon the meeting of the Emperors at Btuttgardt, which the French police considers to be too free. I am happy to announce, on good authority, th a t both at Constantinople and Alexandria, the difficul ties, such as they were, in the way of sending troops to India, by way of Suez, have now been entirely removed. The Court of Cessation has this day rejected the appeal of Captain Doineaa, and the sentence of death passed upon him will therefore be executed, unless the Emperor should think fit to interpose his prerogative. The appeals of several Arab chiefs who were found guilty (but in the second degree) at the same time with Doineau are also rejected. THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA AT WEIMAR. DRESDEN, Our. 2. The Grand Duchess Maria, the youngest child and only daughter of the Emperor of Kumla, fell suddenly ill at Weimar. The Emperor, therefore, returned to the latter place at 2.30. The journey to Berlin is probably postponed for forty-eight hour.. Baron de Beast, the King of Saxony's Minister for Foreign Attain, has received from the Czar the insignia in brilliants of the order of Alexander , Nevski. WEIMAR, SATURDAY. The indisposition with which the young Orand Duchess Maria was affected has disappeared. The departure of their Imperial Majesties will take place to-morrow at coon. The imperial family will pro cord immediately to Potedua. Prince Gortciakoff has received from the Em peror of Austria the grand croft of the order of St. Etienne. THE PRINCIPALITIES. JASSY, Ocr. 3.

LOSS OF A RUSSIAN VESSEL OF WAR. HAMBURG, Ow. 2. A despatch addressed to the insurance companies of this town, announces the total low of a Russian vessel of war, going from Revel to Cronstadt. There were 1,000 men on board. PORTUGAL (VION 071 OWN CORRESTONDIXT.) LISBON . , Sart. tS. The disease which I informed you in my last letter had broken out in this city appears to be pin ing ground. Although there exists a great differ ence of opinion respecting the name and nature of the complaint, the general impres3ion appears to be that the fever is a description of typhoid, of the clam of gaol and such like fevers, and in some in stances it appears to degenerate into undoubted yellow fever. The staff surgeon of the Naval Hos pital here has informed me that he has teen a cue having all the symptoms of yellow lover. The sanitary board are exerting themselves to combat the evil and tar barrels are burnt in the districts wherd there is most disease—in the parishes of the Madeline, the SE, and St. Julian. The deaths yesterday, I believe, reached twenty, all, I am informed, attributed to the replant disease. fhe Bawd of Health are evidently exerting them selves, but it would seem that they are beginning rather late in the day, and many persons attribute the disease to the state of the mowers, and the neg 'eat of proper attention in periodiimll7 flushing them with water and providing them with proper traps. Hitherto they have been left perfectly open, exposed to the action of a blazing sun, and the exha lations have been moat pestiferous. Nothing but the dreadful ravages of a contagious fever will teach the authorities common sense in these matters. The last packet from England, the Tagus, did not communicate with the city. She landed her mails, cargo, and parengers, and received nothing but a fumagahld mail for the south, and water. Still, on her arnval at Cadiz she was not allowed Gibraltar, and she carried her passengers on to Gibraltar, where she communicated. On her return the Spaniards again refused to allow her to communi cate, and hearing of her having done so at Gibraltar, issued a notice placing all vessels from Gibraltar in quarantine for three days. After this I am told the English packets on the outward voy age will only land mails and passengers at Lisbon and carry their cargo on, delivering it on their re turn. Her Majesty's ship Conqueror arrived here on the 22d inst., but on learning that Lisbon was infected with fever the vessel hoisted the yellow flag, and did not communicate. In the afternoon she received a letter-bag, as eke had come to receive Admiralty orders, but I am fold they were not re ceived, and had circumstances been different she would have been caulked. She loft to join Lord Lyons lathe Mediterranean. The King, with that devotion and disinterested ness far which he is noted, has occupied much time in visiting the fever hospitals, and, I am told, has actually entered seine of the wards, although the dis ease is known to be highly contagious, =petting at the same time the arrangements for the treatment of patients, and seeing that nothing was wanting for the comfort of the afflicted. It were superfluous to remark upon the conduct of the young King: his actions speak for themselves, and hold out golden promise for his future years. The elections have everywhere passed off peace ably, the majority in general remaining with the government. In Lisbon, Senhor liraacamp, a par tisan of the present administration, and Senhor F. 0. da Silva Ferreira, minister of Justice under Saldanha, a regenerador, or oppositionist, have been returned. The King and royal family have returned from the palace of Cintra to NocessiWes, and will now per manently remain in the city. The electric telegraph between Liabon and Lon don, Nil Madrid, is now open throughout the entire zlth leo . The rates of transmission, however, are • and to become generally useful m oa t be nerd. The information received from London, to the effect that Sir Morton Peto has finally succeeded in forming a company for the projected railways, as well as the necessary funds, has been freely pub lished in the Lisbon papers, and people generally appear satisfied with the aspect which affairs arc now 111•11111:0114. The vintage returns are very conflicting, but, taking the whole of the country, it is evident that at least twice as much wine as last year will be made this. The City of Hamburg has been declared infected with cholera by the L isb on health authorities. Arrived : —Arno (a.), from Liverpool; Torino (s.), from:Brazils; Teutonia (s.), from Brazils.

The transactions on London were limited, owing chiefly to the scarcity of takers ; and although paper was not abundant, some remained over at the quoted rates. On the Continent nothing of any importance has been effected, paper in gene ral being scarce. The stock market is very dull, and the quotations may he considered nominal. Three per Cent.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam packet Tare, Captain Edwd. Christian, arrived at South ampton yesterday with the Pesti=Mr mails. Her dates were—Gibraltar, Sept. 28; Cadre, 27; Lisbon, 29; Vigo, K. With Oporto she had no communication. She brought twenty pemengers, amongst whom were Captain Inv.rarity, Mr. Tretuayne, Mr. Mutsu, Kr. and Mrs. Tufnell, Kr. Tilley Mr. Cunningham , Yr. and Mrs. Airey, Mr. Miller, Captain Brooks, several foreigesn, and seven distmessd semeso. The authorities at Cadiz refused Antique to the whet, although means were ham to place the mead in sen-men ruunication with Lisbon, the vessel proceeding no higher ep the river than Belem, and only taking a puntled mail. At Gibraltar the packet was kept in quarantine until the Beard of Health pronounced an opinion ; in four hours afterwards the vessel received 'teatime. On the packet's name to Cadiz homewards the antherities refused prelims°, and have enforced a quarantine of observation for three days on sib vessels arriving from Gibraltar, in consequenes of the Tagus having oommunicated with that port. The Spanish passim gem for Cadiz were landed at 0 ibmitar. They proosaded to Cadiz by a Spanish steamer, in the hope of avoiding gamma tine, but on arrival of the vessel they were planed under quanntins of observation for three days. The fever at Lisbon wee spreading ; the returns of deaths on the 26th were 20. At night they were burning tar barrels la the Infected quarters. Her Majesty'. ship Conqueror arrived at Lisbon from Plymouth on the 22nd Sept, At Gibraltar, her Majesty* *teem-frigate Vulture, and steam-sloop Curler; Sept.

The Europa, Captain Leitch, arrived here this aftertroon from Boston and Halifax, with 30 paasen gets. She left Boston on the 23rd, and Halifax on the 24th ult. She passed the Canada, hence to Boston. The screw steam-ship Glasgow, from the Clyde, arrived at New York on the 21st ult. There is no news of importance by this arrival, although we have papers three days later from Now York. The chief subject discussed there is still the foundering of the Central American steam-ship, off Cape Hatteras. It now appears that 182 of the pas sengers have been saved, leaving about 230 known to hare been on board, and supposed to be lost; in addition to the crew, about 100 in number. Tie Washington correspondent of the New York Courier and Enquirer says.: The administration Is whir keg through the forma of enforcing the neutrality laws, bat it le only some of the least timpani. of the forms that will be observed.

The attention of the legal functionaries of the government has been culled to the opera tions of the lawless banditti engaged in those schemes of pri vate war against nations with which we am et poem and against which we have no cause of complaint whatever. No proclamation will be hated, which Is perhaps judicious, for the class of people who take part in such enterprinee give little heed to paper fulminations, whe ther official or otherwise. The Kansas Convention has adjourned. It is also stated that the United States troops hitherto sta tioned at Lawrence have left for the Plains. Vague rumours were afloat of Governor Walker's intended resignation, but they are unreliable, and, we pre sume, unfounded. Both political parties are making active preparation for the October election. A dmdful wholesale poisoning case occurred in Pike County, Alabama, on Sunday, the 12th Sept. A negro cook, at the instigation, it is said, of a Hun garian named Copkina, tamed arsenic with the food of a family-37 in all—and six of them have died, and the rest, at hat accounts, were in a critical condition. This crime was followed by another equally horrible, committed by the friends of the family. The negro woman was taken immediately and burnt at the stake, and Coakina, the instigator, was to suffer the same fate= the Monday following. In Eastern Tennessee there is the case of a negro who was tortured to make him confess that he had murdered his master and mistress, and committed other crimes, after which he was burnt to death at the stake by a mob of 3,000 persona. The remarks made by the northern press upon these proceedings have called forth a letter from the Rev. Mr. Brown low, of Knoxville, who justifies the use of torture in this instance. The New York Times comments severely upon the affair: To that bumble cede of miniinal law, !index which our brethren south if Mason and Dixon's line luxuriate, belong. the shame of preserving in full vigour prettifies by which even the medireval jurisprudence wan disgraced, and which all other Chriettan communities have long ago rejected with horror. It must not be supposed that the custom of sup plying tho place of evidence by the use of torture is made to operate only against the negro race. Free white citizen. are Mat as liable to it no the alarm. Only two or three weeks ago, at Abbey-01K Miu., a white man was, on information given by two .L. 1,4 as to hie having attempted to tamper with them, subjected to the infliction of the number of kabala requisite to extract front him an admimion of hl. guilt. Of what value, we should like to know, In either common law or Mama law under such a gluten as this': It is all very wall to pass bills of rights, or throw off the yoke of monarchs, but how shall our fellew-cltizens protect them selves from the tyranny of a slave-holdlng mob ? HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. This morning wu issued the report of the Select Cos:mattes of the House of Commons, appointed to consider the state of the British possessions Nos J 1 Atomics under the administration of the Hudson's Bay Compeny. This document, which was adopted by 6 vote* to 5, is aa follows "I. The out approach of the period when the Fame of exclusive trade, granted in 1838 fur 21 years, to the Hudson's Bay Company over that north-western portion of British A Mirk. which goes by the name of the Indian Ten tray, mum expire, would alone make it nemesia, that the condition of the whole of the vim regions which are under the ea ! ministration et the tramway should be carefally considered; but there are other circumstances which, in the opnion of yon- committee, would have rendered such s coarse the duty of the parliament and government of this country. 2. Among these, your committee would specially ems. msrate—the growing desire of our Canadian fellow-subjects that the means of extension and regular settlement should be afforded to them over a portion of this territory; the neces sity of providing suitably for the administration of the stain of Vanoouver's Island, and the present condition of the seal went which has been formed on the Red River. . . W ' 3. Your committee have received much valuable eel dente on thoio end other subjocts connected with the inquiry which has been entrusted to them, end especially have had the advantage of hearing the statements of Chief- J natio. Draper, who was cominieaioned by the government of Canada to watch this inquiry. In addition to tb's, your committee have received the es idence taken before a rent mittee of the Legislative Aevetubly, appointed to investigate this subject, containing much valuable information ie refer ent* to the interests and feelings of that impirtant colony, which are entitled to the greatest weight on this occasion. " 4. Your committee have also had the opinion of the law officers of the crown communicated to them on various points connected with the charter of the Hudson's Bay , 7 Com -IPall. '6. The territory over which the company now mercies rights is of three description.: " let. The land held by charter, or Rupert 's Lend. "2nd. The land held by license, or the Indian Uniitory. " 3rd. Vancouver's Island. .6. For the nature of the tenure by which these count' :es are severally connected with the company, your committee would refer to the evidence they have received end the docu ments appended to their upon. " 7. Among the various objects of imperial policy which It ialroportent to attain, your committee consider that it is 'seen. tiul to meet the just and reasonable wnhes of Canada to be enabled to seinen to her tttt itoty such portion of the land in her neighbourhood se may be available to her for the pi—piece ut settlement, with which lands she is nill.ng to open end maintain communications and for which she will provide the meson of local adruitiimtention. Your committee epprebend that the districts on the Red River and the Saskatchewen are among those likely to be desired for early ouFrom, It is of groat importance that the peace and order of those districts should be effectually secured. r committee trust that there sal be no eifficelty in effecting arrangements as between boa Majesty's government end the Hudson's Bey Company by which these districts may be ceded to Canada on equitable principles, and within the districts thus annexed to her the authority of the Hud son's Bay Compan y . would of course entirely mime. "8. Yore committee think It beet to content themselves with indicating the outline, of such a scheme, leaving it to her Majesty's government to consider its details more ma turely before the act of parliament is prepared, which will probably be necssary carry it into effect. "9. In came, howev er, ' Canada should not be willing at a very early period to undertake the government of the lied River district, it may be proper to consider whether some tern provision for its adminiatraUon may not be " 10. Your committee am of opinion that it will be proprz to terminate the connexion of the Hudson's Bay Company with Yawata's Island as soon so it an conveniently be dime, as the best means of favouring the development of the great natural advantages of that important colony. Means should sho be provided for the ultimate extension of the colony over any portion of the adjoining continent, to the west of the Rocky Mountains, on which permanent set tlement may be found practicable. " 11. As to those extensive regions, whether in Ropes Ca Land or in the Indian territory, in which, for the present at least, there can be no prospect of permanent settlement, to any extent, by the European ram for the purposes of aloniation, the opinion at which your committee havo ar rived is mainly founded on the following considerations; let. The great Importance to the more peopled portions of British North America that law and order should, as far as possible, be maintained is these territoria ; 2nd. The fatal effects which they believe would infallibly result to the Indian population from a system of open competition in the for trade and the consequent introduction of spirits in a far greater degree than is the me. at present; and 3rd. The probability of the indiscriminate destruction of the more valuable forbearing animals in the course of a few "12. For these reasons, your committee are of opinion that whatever may be the validity or otherwise of the rights claimed by the Hudson's Bay Company, under the charter, it is desirable that they should continuo to enjoy the pri vilege of exclusive trade, which they now Naas, except so far so those privileges are limited by the foregoing recom mendations. . " 13. Your committee have now specified the principal objects which they think it would be desirable to attain. Row far the chartered rights claimed by the Hudson s ]fay Company may prove an obstacle to their attainment, they are not able, with any certainty, to lay. If this difficulty is to he solved by amicable adjustment, such a course vrill be best promoted by the gevernment, after communication with the company as well so with the government of Canada, tether than by detailed sugettions emanating from this committee. " 14. Your committee cannot doubt but that, when such grave interest. ace at stake, all the parties concerned wall approach the subject in a spirit of conciliation and justioe, and they thereto rq _indulge a confidant hope that the govern meat will be enabled, in the neat session of parliament, to I present a bill which shall ley the foundation of an equitable and satisfactory arrangement, in the event, which we con sider probable, of legislation being found nectosary for that purPo*o.

The following additional items respecting the lots of the steamship Central America are extracted from the de mile of the catastrophe published in the papers brought by the Europa " Of the 28 children who were saved the greater pat were babies. The etswardees of the steamer was a stout negro woman. She had collected the money thrown away by the pemengrre, it wee sruppmed, and buckled it around the body. The weight of this money was the came of her death when she wee hoisted into the Marine, when she died front having too much gold about her loins. One of the ladies placed her canary bird in her bosom on leaving the simmer end preserved its life. w When, rung and falling with the swell of the waves the lights of the barque Ellen were firm discerned by the sur vive', in the water, the thrill of hope that at once tilled every bnaost amounted, it may well be believed, to a perfect cutesy. Let Mr. George speak thrall. He says, I never felt so thank ful in all my life. I never knew what gratitude was before. I do not know whether I oried or net, bat I know I wee astonished to beai my own laughter ringing in my ears. I do not know why I laughed. That verse, ' God moves in • mysterious way,' kept passing let and out of me—through be, rather, as - if I had been the pipe of an organ. It did not come to me by my own volition, but somehow mad e roe remember it. When the lights approached nearer a arose of voices sprang up around me, crying Ship ahoy" Boat ahoy,' end then I began to shout too. And I had never any doubt that I should be saved till I maw the lights mesa by, about half • mile from where I was, and re cede in the distance. Then I began to give myself up for lost Indeed. But I slowly drifted toward her again till I could make out her hall and one of her meats, and presently I floated close to her, and shouted, and was taken up. When I got on the deck I could not stand. I did mt know till then how exhausted I was.' Mr. Charge, before he waa rescued, encountered six men clinging to • log of wood, two of whom were wished off in his sight, within a short distance of the bark. The others most have afterwards shared the same fate, as they were not taken on board the bark and were never again seen. Mr. George thinks a raft could have lived, but no attempt was made to construct one. "A passenger says*. Life-preservers were plenty, and each had secured one for himself. On coming up I found plenty of thbogs to cling to, and got hold of • door, which I held on to about 16 minutes, till three Irishmen grabbed it, when I left it, as I was becoming so numb that I was obliged to warm up by a little swimming exercise. Though • large quality of material wee floating about, still there was • good deal of desperate struggling and fighting po i‘" tTo r ld P :f i"e a trunk, P'i boat the moat t II neat got• directly came in my way; analog to it l u soon got chilled and had occasionally to leave it and swim to get warm. But I did not let it get ter out of my way. I ch. rerved the Irishmen still fi ghting for the door the last I saw of them, and they are doubtless lost.' " According to the statemeet of a female survivor, ' There wee not • tear shed that I am aware of on board th steamer up to the time we first opted the sail which we Wave • brought us relief. There seemed to be a perfect calmness, wMela I could not have believed it possible for such a num ' her of persons to exhibit under such fearful circumstances, But when the brig hove in right there were tears of joy, and the men worked with renewed energy and hope. The ladies nteUof the men to work firmly and with all their strength, i l d they would take hold and work themselves if the men did not do their best. Some of the women begged to be allowed to mint, and some were so anxious that they even attempted to dress up in men's clothing, so that they might go down and help in the teak.' " Mrs. Small and her child were in charge of Captain Herndon, of whom she musks with m was handed into the boat by much him. He appareleotion. She ead, bat vary firm. Mrs. Small,' mid ha, this is tied ,I ma sorry not to get yea home Ways' With these words he turned away. "Ifr. Payne states that he was indebted to Captain Hern don for hia life. I was in frequent consultation with him before I went, and he asked me what I thought of Orrin. I said, Thank Clod, the women end children are all off, and we are strong." He replied ' Yes, thank God,' and added, ' You take the next boat.' 'hits I did, but before I went he requested me to go into his alas and get his gold watch end chain, and, if saved, to carry them to his wife. Said he, ' Tell her—; but his utterance was choked by deep emotion, and he said no more on that sub ject, but changed it by saying he wished me to see the pred dent of the women, ' Karibal O. Roberta, and the agents, and communicate wit h them in relation to the disaster. After saying this much he walked away a few steps and sat down on a bench, with his head in his hands, apparently overcome. He remained in that potation a few moments, and Smarm and resumed giving orders as the boat from the brig Marine returned." One survivor makes rather an amusing statement:— „ I guess I had been about four hours In the water and had floated away from the rest, wheat the waves owed to teaks any noise, and I heard my mother say, ' Johnny, did you eat sleter's grapes r I haft't thought of it for twenty yeas at least. It had gone clew out of my mind. I had • sistm that died of conaumption more than thfrty years ago, and when she war sick—l was a boy of eleven or so--a neighbour had sent her some early hot-house grapes. Well, those grape' were left in a room where I was, end—l ought to have been skinned alive for it, little ream! that I was— I divested them all. Mother came to me after I had gone to bed, when she eould'nt find the fruit for sister to moWm her month with in the night, and mid, ' Johnny, did you eat 'Wee' Lra u t* I did not add to the MINIUM of my omaduct by lie. I owned up, and m mother went away in tears, b ut without flogging me. I t oceerioned me • qualm of con science for many a year after; but, as I Paid, for twenty cat least I had not thought of it, till, when I wee about benumbed with cold, I heard it as plain ag ever I heard her voies in my life. I heard mother my, ' Johnny, did you eat slater's grapes r I don't know how to seeount for it. It did not scare me, though. I thought it was a presage of my death." A survivor lays Nye hundred mem, with death yawning before them at any moment, stood solid u a rack, nor made a movement for the beets until the woman end children had all been safely triuteported to the brig, after whi-11 about forty of the crew and male passengers, in a fel, tripe, reached the latter vessel before the steamer went down." Sanguine Dopes were entertained of the safety of the rap tale (Herndon) and a number of passengers. When the vessel went down the captain was on the wheelhouse, and when lust seen was clinging to a plank. The Journal de Frankfort states that efforts are being made in Prussia to orgashe a European Electric Tele graph ruion. If the project to carried out the jow nil argues that it will simplify the benssoission of messages, and cause the tariff of charges to be teemed. The Lombardo-Venetian railroads are said to be miserably managed. The trunk, of the travellers hare fre quently been opened in the beams oars and things of vales abstracted from them, and the waiters at the stations are aa dishonest as the porters. If a large coin is given to a waiter, he rarely has any email money about him, and purposely dawdles about until the ball rings, and the traveller is obliged to dopart. Complaints ere also rustle of the exorbitant charges of the Vienna betel keepers, and the Oraterrriehisehe leitung states that in • well-known inn two foreigners had to pay six florins (126.) for two cold fowls and two cups of tea. The usual charge to the hotel. for the half-starved thing there called a "fowl " is one florin. In soother hotel two pauseugere who remained but six days in Vienna were charged 2411. (V. 25.) for candles. " It appears that anyhow," says the Times," even If Lord Elgin had had ten thousand nun with him, and • Mist in proportion, we must have been obliged to defer the expedition to the Peiho. Lord Elgin took out, in all inno cence, a letter to the French admiral, which he fondly ima gined was to urge that functionary to immediate and effective co-operation. When the French admiral opened the letter he found that it charged him most peremp torily on no account to stir till the arrival of the Frenrh plenipotentiary, which would not be till very near this present month. October happens to be rather an unpleasant time for naval operations in the Chino waters., and it is not impossible that when the French pleni potentiary comes at last ho may wish to consider malls what is next to be done. It is also not impossible that, as the soldiers would have had to wait for him, he may thew have to wait for the soldiers. The malt is that hostile operations, and even an armed nsgotistion, the only negotia tion that can lead to anything, are adjourned sine die."
