Tag story of the relief of Lucknow will form one of the brightest pages in the annals of British heroism. HAVZLOCX had to fight his way from the frontier of Oude, with only 2,300 men, through a country in which every man was in arms against him, and every town, village, and hou.-e had been converted into a fort ress. There was but one practicable road along which he could advance ; on either side of it there was nothing but a succession of quagmires. The bridges over the intervening riven—swollen at this season to their utmost magnitude—had been blown up; and on the further banks were entrenched dis ciplined regimt nts, far outnumbering his small band of Englishmen, with an ample ripply of heavy artillery in position. These means of obstruction—natural and artificial—must have been turned to account with a will ; far the reliev ing party took six days to advance the fifty three miles of di,tancs from the beak of the Gasps opposite C.awnpore to Lackeow. The enduring valour of the besieged is equally admirable with that displayed by their liberators. Through three weary months they bad resolutely repelled assaults from overwlselnaug odds, in improvised entrench ments, with very inadequate supplies of everything that was necessary for defence and the support of existence. Yet, borne up by their own high hearts , ' 1 and by their faith in the anxiety of their country men for their n!ief, no feeble wailing was heard, though the women and children outnumbered the fighting men ; while the counter-attacks of the garrison repeatedly made the as sailants reel backward in dismay, and afforded op. portunity to drive into the Residency the herd• and ether stores of provisions collected by the mutineers. Every nerve h iv been strained to the utmost both by ear helmeted countrymen, and by those who have hoed lair way through hostile myriads to relieve diem. One day—perhaps a few hours—lover, and Mt probably the unsurpassed passive mad active anion displayed on both sides would have proved alarming. The mines of the assailing force had been advanced beyond the lines of defence, sad a short time would have sees the extemporind bal warks of the Resideaey blown into the air, and the iaferiated Sepoys, sad their yet some brutal abstain tram the Arian, pouring over the rain to overw►elm the defeseelsos inmates. We reed this iienoweneent and draw a long breath of relief at the close, as if we ourselves had just made some hair-bre-oth wipe. But act • moment is left us to pause on this reflection. We are immediately hurried on by the tale which tells bow English promptitude and resolution forthwith sionmed the arsvemi,e, and pot the assailants on their own defence. On the 25th of September the Residency was catered by the succouring force ; an t►e 2tith the eetreochasents of the bekagsering army were stormed ; and during the neat three days the foe was drives from sae past after another through the narrow and tortuous streets of Incknow. Further we know set. At the last mamma to which our information is brought des o the greater part of the city had fears loathe pp...canna of our troops, and doubt ths rest would soon follow. At Dalai Gement %Vases bad displayed tie suss isdispeasable qualities of a traly peat aseassader-- the, kaowledge th st the mat briber victories are mainly rateable as the near to ulterior operations, rider asithiterirg readiness to tarn them to such assouat. No sooner =a Delhi completely in his beads than two moveable error were despatched, emedowa the left and the other down the right bask mf the 11111114, in possait of the fugitives. At the dote of the latest accoants the former had lush= the vieiaity of Allyghar, the latter of Illatra. They bad allowed " no gram to grow at " their smarairre heels."

Ba , n.. misjudging leniency hod pleaded ler two eons and a grandson of the Nino, who she became prisonms. They were shot without ear =my, and their bodies sent to Delhi, and there ex posed to public give at the Police-Aloe. The mast overweening Prince' and Priests of India have tans been waned that the life of the meanest British sub ject is se valuable in the eyes of England and its ruler as those of the most far-dew:ended or the most confident pretsoder to priestly sanctity; and that no worldly elevation or conseeratrn can avail say or who has takes, or been scenery to the taking el, Use life daily Eaglishman. The capture of Delhi, and the relief of the Rea deney Si Leeknow, are events the importance of which =met be exaggerated. They will teach the Natives of all India—from the momstair of Affghan totals to the mountains of Ettrasah, sad from the Himalaya to the sea—that they are unable to shake tithe yoke of the few thousand& of Englishmen thinly scattered among their millions. These death blows, stayed' at the two most vital parts of the re ' volt, hams been dealt without any 'cassia° of strength from England, and, we may add, with little sf assistance from the local Bnpreme Government. All elbstaal communioation between Calcutta and die region beyond Delhi has been cut off since the first esallneak of the mutiny. Not a farthing, not a maa has been obtained in the way of re-informs. meet from Calcutta by the men who have taken I /elhi, and are opening paths through hosts of foes to the southward and eastward with their own saline and bayonets. The witless promptly organised and pushed forwards by the Oovernors of Bombay and Madras hare not yet been able to advance beyond the declivities of the Vindhaya. What has been accomplished to the west of the Jumna has been the unaided work of Ls w Rene, WILSON, the lamented NICUOLtON, and their sagacious, and gallant co-adjutors in the council and in the field. The reinforcements from without, which had reached Bengal when Lucknow was rescued, consisted exclusively of the troops intercepted on their way to China—and of these the smallest portion only had been forwarded to the interior. But the victory has been dearly bought. Folly one-third of the brave men who stormed Delhi were killed or wounded in the assault ; how many were added to this list of casualties, in the fighting of the next six days, we have yet to learn. Upwards of 4.50 (out of 2,500) were put hers da rumba! in the amok upon the rebel entrenchments and the city of Lucknow ; how many more may have sunk on the march from Cawnpore we know not. There will be many a fluttering and anxious heart till the names of the gallant dead are known. Of two we are already but too certain. New., who quelled the incipient mutiny at Benarea, who re-established oar ascendancy at Allahabad, who organised the advance upon Cawnpore and Lucknow, after his brilliant and sleepless struggle of four months, sleeps the sleep of death on the red field of Lacknow. NICHOLSON, who turned the tide of battle at Nujufgbur, and was foremost in the tumult upon Delhi, his also closed his splendid career. The brief, arduous, glorious campaign, which, in so far as these gallant soldiers are concerned, has been crowned by their deaths, was a worthy consumma tion of two honourable careers. There are many still alive in the land of WALLACE who remember Naltx, a bright-eyed, reckless schoolboy, and have watched with interest his progress to distinction through the campaigns in Hannah. There are veterans who, whenever the name of NICHOLsON has been mentioned, have fondly recalled the young ensign, ever foremost in danger at Jellalabad, who bore with buoyant spirits alike the triumph of the successful sortie and the depression of the capitula tion, till a rude Affghan snatched his mother's miniature from his neck, when the gallant boy burst into tears. As deer as honoured, the memories of both will long survive ; their names will continue to be household words throughout our land as long as a recollection survives of the death struggle for empire of 18,5 in Ilindustau. The Loudon General Omnibus Company have just held their first meeting in London. We are not going into the facts and figures presented at that meeting, with any view of asccrtaininChow far they affect the interests of the proprietary. Our sole object is to make oat upon the face of the Company's own statements to what degree the metropolitan public has benefited, or is likely to benefit, by the operations of the Company. With reference to this object, the Report may be considered under three points of view : the improvements made, or making, in the existing omnibuses ; the degree to which the correspondence system has been carried out; the prospects held forth of new and improved methods of transit. With regard to the first point, the Company, it appears, are in possession of no less than 600 omni buses Of this number, 131 hare had the roofs raised so as to give 6 fort standing height inside; the yen , tilation of these vehicles has, we are assured, been increased ; they have been thoroughly repaired and repainted, and the roof, seats, approaches, and rails greatly improved. Forty others are undergoing dialler repairs. Eighty-cme entirely new carriages art at work, and thirty-one are in course of con streetion. Of the 600 omnibuses, therefore, possessed by the Company, about half are more or lets improved, the other half re main absolutely as they were. With regard to the general nature of the improvements thus effected, we are told in the Report that " an omnibus having a much wider track than the " original vehicle, vii., 6 feet to 61 feet, cannot be worked with advantage" in the London streets ; the object, therefore, has been to construct a carriage " which will give greater space inside without " materially increasing the size outside." In carry ing out these improvements, it has been found ad vantageous " to fiz the side windows and introduce " ventilation liberally in the roof, so that draughts " and dust may be entirely avoided." So far, so good. We are quite ready to admit that public opinion, through the medium of the press, has been brought to bear with some effect on the Company. There is great room for improvement still, yet somuhing appreciable has been done. About half the public conveyances in the hen& of the Company are no longer in the discreditable state in which they once were. The salutary influence of public comment, and of such competition as fortu nately still remains, has effected thus much; but it is not very creditable to the Company to hare to admit that they have not as yet proceeded farther. Not one of their improved vehicles makes any ap. preach, in point of convenience and comfort, to the Saloon Omnibuses of the rival Company, and until this is the case the London Association cannot be I allowed to take credit for having done their duty by the London public. They have a better claim to the thanks of omnibus travellers in the system of Correspondence, which, however imperfect, they have yet been the first to establish. Correspondence Offices, we are informed, have been opened at Whitechapel, Bishopsgate street, Cheapside, Regent-circus, Edgware-road, and Notting-hill Gate. "By means of these offices pas " stagers by 642 of the Company's omnibuses have " the opportunity of changing to any other omnibus " of the Company passing the offieedeor." The number of passengers who availed themselves of this arrangement daring the week satin the 3rd of October was, it seems, 22,482. This represents, unquestionably, a considerable =mat if public accommodation, and implies a corresponding reductios is the coarse of transit between the more distant kicelities. We are inclilied to agree with the Report la estimating this as one of the principal advantages which the public have yet gained from the development of the new enterprise. But a still further improvement is projected. As everybody knows, in some of the great continental and American cities, in Paris and Lyons, New York and Boston, monster omnibuses capable of carrying from 60 to 80 peasengers each, are worked on tram ways. Two horses draw these vehicles with great facility at • speed of from eight to ten miles an hoar. In the crowded thoroughfares of the mare central parts of London the construction of such tramways appears to be hopelessly out of tho ques tion ; bat there is no reason why the plan should not be tried on the suburban lines of road. The Report of the London General Omnibus Company accordingly proposes that a cam of 60,0001. should be appropriated from the capital of the 'Company, and devoted to the formation of such a tramway, on • line commencing at Notting-hill Gate, and canning thence along the Grand Junction-road, the New road, the City-road, and Moorgate-atreet, to the Bank. We have nothing to do with the question whether this outlay of capital would or would not be a remunerative one to the shareholders. We rather think that, in the long run, - It would. But there can be little doubt that it would in many ways servo the interests of the metropolitan public. It would be a considerable improvement to the state of our thoroughfares if one vehicle and two horses could be made to do the work of four vehicles and eight horses. The de crease iu the working expenses consequent on the change would lead, after the first cost of effecting it had been replaced, to a considerable reduction of fares, and the increased amplitude of the carriage' would of course furnish facilities for improved accommodation. At all events, as representing the interests of the public, we my let the experi ment be fairly tried. If the proprietary of the General Omnibus Company are inclined, in these hard times, to vote 60,0001. in trying this scheme, they are entitled to the thanks of the public in thus constituting themselves the pioneers of every considerable metropolitan improvement—one which is pretty certain to be attempted by others, if not undertaken by the Company, and which in these days of progressive development cannot much longer be delayed. The working expenses of the existing vehicles are something enormous. The avenge earn ings of each of the 560 omnibuses which are kept at work throughout the year in the service of the Company amount to 21. 19s. 6jd. a day, and the average cost of work ing tow less than 21. 13s. 51d., leaving 6s. Id. per day as the net profit per omnibus. The gross re ceipts far the six months ending on the Ith of July were 308,4121. 125., and the gross working expenses 276,906/.64.8d. The net profit to divide, after add ing a small balance from 1858, amounts to 31,5811. 4a. Id., which, after paying 5 per cent. on the paid-up capital, leaves a balance in hand of about 5401. As already intimated, we have no intention of entering into any discussion as to the prospects held out to the shareholders on the face of this Report, even assuming that implicit reliance is to be placed on the strict accuracy of its statements. Of this, however, there can be no doubt, that the interests of the Company and of the public will, in the long run, be found identical. Watched by the press, urged on to fresh exertions by that wholesome competition which will, it is to be hoped, increase instead of diminishing, this Company may yet sub serve the interests of the Metropolis to a degree which, without these conditions, it would be chi merical to expect.

Rai OIL THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1857. THE LATE BRIOADIBR•OBNBRAL NICHOLSON. General John Nicholson, of tho 27th Bengal Native lablatry, though seareely 36 years of age, was an Wiser at no andiaary ezperieace sod promise. At the Was of Me death be was in command of the Ptinjaub division. He wee the eldest sou of the late Dr. Alexander Nicholson, who owned a small landed property in the county of Down, and w►o died a few years since, hewing practised with con siderable emcees es a physician at V iryeroont, county Dublin. His maths, was a sister of Sir James Wale llogg, Bart., late chatter& al the East India Company, and foi sagely M.P. fat Beverley and Bonito.. In the mond Prmjatiti campaign we find the name of Gemini Nicholson almost inseparable from that of Major Herbert Edwardee, the hero of Mooltsa. It would be foreign to our intention here to recount all the events which led to that war, which was so decisively settled at Sedoolapore, Chilisnwallab, end Goojsrat ; it is sufficient for our purpoes to inform our readers, that while the mega of Moulton was still proceeding, Nicholson wee sect to seize the fortress of Attack, which he succeeded in telling. Aa soon se his service.. could Wowed he acoompanied Lord Gough in his pursuit of the Sikhs, end was able to render Sir John Thackwell material essistanoe in transporting his lucre across the Cherub, just previous to the battle of Ithamnuggar. Ha had the Bandanna' of seeing his name mentioned in the despatch of that pliant end distinguished °Muer in the following terms: To Cap tain Nicholson, Assistant to the Resident at Lahore, I beg to offer my beet thanks for hie endeavours to procure in ' Univac* of the enemy's movementa ; for his successful I Abdo to precure supplies for the troop, ; and for his able assistance on all occasions." After the battle of Chilian wallah his friend. had the additional gratification of noticing kis services in that engagement acknowledged in Lord Ganglia despatch side by side with three of the late la mated Sir Henry M. Laurence. Nor was he lees distin gabbed on the field of Goole's; where Lord Gough finally rented and crushed the Sikh Areas, and after which he particularly recommended, in his despatch addressed to the Clowwww-Cleneral of India, the name of " that moat emu redo *Waal offixr, Captain Nicholson" as deserriog re ward and promotion. For him services in the Punjaub campaign Captain Nichol son was promoted by special brevet to the rank of major in the army, and received the additional honours of a medal and clasp. He had been engaged in civil employment in the Fuien]) for some few years before the outbreak of the recent mutinies, having had under his charge the Den lahmail Khan district ainceJsnuary, 1&52. Of his activity and energy in his civil capacity in the Punjaub, and of his gallantry and intrepidity in defeating the rebel forces seat out to inter mpg the siege train on its way to Delhi, we have too often spoken recently to make it necessary to add any fresh mead of praise. The previous mail, It will be remembered, brought titling. that General Nicholson was among those who were wounded in the storming of Delhi, and now we deeply regret to have to enumerate his name among those who have since died of their wound.. General Nicholson's commissions, we should add, beardele as follows.—Ensign, Feb. 24, 1839; lieutenant, Jan. 13, 1842; captain in his regiment, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, March 20, 1848.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) CAOLIARI, Nov. 11. The following message, prepared in the office of the Bombay Times, is dated BOMBAY, OCT. 17. General Havelock relieved Lucknow Residency on the 25th of September, stormed the enemies batteries on the 26th, and took the greater part of the city on the 29th. Four hundred and fifty were killed and wounded. Among the killed was General Neill. Delhi was completely occupied. On the 26th the King and Queen were captured. Three princes were shot. A column 2,000 strong had gone in pursuit of the rebels on the western bank of the Jumna. The killed and wounded on the 14th of September were 1,178. General Nicholson was dead. A Cheel (Bheel P) riming in Nassick had since been nearly suppressed. Captain Henry was killed. The rebels have been beaten everywhere. The country is quiet. Three regiments from England have reached Ceylon for Bengal. One was expected at Bombay immediately. (From the news.) (AT SOBICARINI AND BRITIAN TELTORATN.) ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 6. The Pottinger reached Suez on the 2nd inst., with dates from Bombay to the 18th of October. General Havelock stormed and carried the enemy's position at Meengarsoar on the 21st of September, and continued his advance towards Lucknow, driving the insurgents before him. On the 26th the Resi dency wu relieved, and on the 26th the besiegers' intrenchments were captured; our loss was 400 killed and wounded, and, among the former, General Neill. The latest intelligence is dated Cawnpore, Oct. 2. Nearly the whole of the city (Lucknow) was in oar possession; the resistance is said to have been very obstinate. Delhi was completely subjugated on the 21st of September. The enemy had abandoned their camp beyond the walls. The King of Delhi was a pri soner. The three Princes had also been captured and immediately shot. Our less in killed and wounded on the 14th is estimated at nearly 1,200. The subsequent loss appears to have been slight. General Nicholson had died of his wounds. The latest news from Delhi, ries Lahore, is to the 3rd of October.

The Emperor bas done it all himself. The letter to M. Magne, the Finance Minister, dated from Compiegne, Nov.lo, will be one of the most remark able acts of his reign, whatever the result of it may be. Should the assurance contained in that letter that the financial crisis is mainly imaginary have the effect of dispelling idle fears, and should the strong and unexpected measures taken be followed speedily by an abatement of the symptoms, I do not hesitate to say that the Emperor's character for wisdom and foresight will stand higher in the estimation of the world than it has ever yet done. Should the predictions of those financiers against whose judgment the Emperor has acted be realised, the consequences may be disas trous, but in any case it is impossible not to admire his energy and decision of character. I do not mean to say that all his ministers were against any further augmentation of the discount of the Bank of France, but I know pertinently that some of them were, and I doubt whether there is a states man in France (the Emperor excepted) who would have had the nerve, while the council of the Bank of France was painfully debating whether it was possible to follow any further, even at a dis tance, in the wake of the Bank of England, to advance, per saltum, to the Bank of England level, and raise the interest of money at once from 71 to 10 per cent. The measure announced in the Monoleur amounts substantially to this, for although there is a graduated scale, 8 per cent. for bills of thirty days and under, and 9 per cent for bills of from thirty-one to sixty, yet in practice there are very few bills at short dates for which discount is required, and the great question is whether trade I can go on without immense disasters with bill I having two and three months to ran at 10 per cent. Ten per cent. ! for French commercial people, who I never in their lives before paid at the Bank more than six. Hitherto the cry has been, it is true, " Charge us what you like in reason, but for heaven's sake do not shorten the usual time allowed for bills to run." It remains to be seen whether ten per cent. for ninety days will be thought reasonable. To stew how little such a measure was expected yes terday, I may mention that M. Lanvray, the fists. cial writer of the Prem., in a special article of yes terday evening written after he had heard all the rumours and opinions of the day at the Boars, described any further raising of the discount as a "desperate measure," which would paralyse trade, and hinder the prospect of the discount being " reduced to 5 per cent.," the Bank of France being "In a position to separate itself from the ! . Pplekof F.mglesed, it pot being hampered by the peen liar constitution of the latter." The Emperor, however, whose title to the throne he occupies is the breath of popularity, has had the extraordinary courage to attack at one blow tke interests (or prejudices) of the bourgeoisie of Paris, and the masses of the rural districts. While raising the discount of commercial bills to an unprecedented amount, he has removed— and, as I venture to say, most witoly—the prohibi tion against the exportation of corn, than which nothing is more obnoxious to the preju dices of the ignorant peasantry, who, as has often been seen, are frequently ready to rise in revolt against the removal of a load of corn from a village. This part of the legislation of to. day will be speedily tested, for although many people fancied, in spite of the calls for the removal of the prohibitions made by the great landowners, through the Union and Speetatear, that no market could now be found in the world to which it was worth while to export cereals, I hear that flour has risen qr. this very day, and bread must be expected to be dearer. Those inclined to take a gloomy view predict innumerable failures among the Parisian shopkeepers, and say that very many manufacturers will shut up their facto ries and discharge their workmen. People figure to themselves 30,000 operatives upon the pavement of Lyons, out of work and with bread rising. This, however, is by no mean. the general tone of conversation. In ordinary society, where possibly the real extent of the danger may be un derrated, it is certain that the Emperor's confidential tone of speaking begets confidence. At the Bourse the sews of the day was far from being ill received. The Rente was very steady with but a moderate amount of business doing. It fell but 2.5 c. for cash and account, closing at 68fr. 60c. and 66fr. 75c. Mobiller fell Mr. Railways were calm, and about Mr. or 10fr. lower. Letters from New York predict a speedy end of the crisis, gold having begun to arrive from Eng land, France, Amsterdam, and California. The bullion in the Bank of France has improved three millions since yesterday, and is now supposed to stand at nearly two hundred millions. The Pays positively denies the truth of a reported attempt upon the life of the Shah of Persia, said to have been committed by an individual of the sect of the Serbia. The Emperor has determined to purchase for his private account a domain of 10,000 hectares of land in Algeria, on which ho intends to establish model fermi. We (Times second edition) have received the fol- lowing telegram from our Paris correspondent : PARIS, TRt SMUT, NOT. 12, 8 ♦ r. M. Abbattioci, the Minister of Justice, is dead. The Legislative Body is convoked for the 28th. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, Nov. 10. The Legislative Chambers were opened to-day without any solemnity. Contrary to parliiunentaly usage, the King was not present, and there wu no speech in his name. The Senate and Chamber of Deputies met in their respective houses at one o'clock. The members of the new cabinet took their places on the ministerial bench, and the late m;r;s ten resumed their old seats near their friends. M. Anspach, the oldest member of the Chamber of De puties, took the chair, and adjourned the house im mediately, without regarding a protest made by M. Dumortier, a member of the right, who insisted that the adjournment could not be pronounced until the constitution of the bureaux. The members separated with cries of Vire is The senate was afterwards adjourned by the Minister of the Interior. A circular signed by three members of the right, Count Merode, Baron Oly, and Baron Daman d'Attenrode, requests the members of the right to attend a meeting this evening at Count Merode's house. PIEDMONT. The Armonia of Torin publishes a circular ad dressed by some of the bishops of Piedmont to their clergy, recommending them to exercise their influ ence in the coming elections in favour of clerical candidates. They state that the kingdom is politi cally organised in such a manner that they are "called upon to exercise a species of sovereignty over the election of those upon whom, in a certain measure, the regulation of their destinies depends." Hence they remind their clergy that it would be a serious dereliction of duty to stand by and allow the enemies of the church to elect their representatives without a struggle. Monsignor Charvaz, Bishop of Oenoa, has addressed a separate circular to the clergy of his diocese, in which he simply inculcates the duty of recommending electors to vote in favour of wise, patriotic, independent, and religious men. AMERICA. The New York Herald of the 29th ult, remarks on the present upset of the money market : There is, beyond all question, • much better feeling in the money market. The beaks are full of money, but dare not lend it on commercial paper. The principal businem of our banking institutions just now is turning over, renewing and arranguig in different wove their protested paper. The banks never gent extensions, but they renew paper, either the whole or in part, and keep it alive with all the additional security they can squaw oat of the makers or endorsers, A good deal of this accommodation has been extended, sad It amens to be the prevailing dhpoeition, both inside and oat side the beak', to great all the necessary facilities fora satiav factory adjustment. Most of the large houses which have ended entirely ask en extension, generally, of al:, twelve. sod eighteen months, and we have heard of but very fen maw when it has not been freely granted. This is the right Mutual forbearance sad support in each times is a and we are glad to see it so universally practised. We are pleased to see that there are very few men fa the community disposed to press any claim by litigation, gad is every instance where Wire narrow-minded, mean, man her forced demands into judgment he haa been and will find little favour should the revulsion force him into difficulties. This city ie. probably, aa free from this class or merchants as any other in the world, but we have heard of mere where all consideration on account of the general prostration of credit and almost anniLilat ion of values appears to have been lost sight of, and the utmost rigour of the law made available to fume payment to the exclusion of the rest of the creditors. These ore, fortunately, isolated cues. The great bulk of our merchants are generous, liberal minded men, and are the last in the world to oppress the unfortu nate, or to place any obstacle 3¢ the way of recovery from individual emberrsounent. The receipts of gold by the Persia will perhaps occasion some little relief to the market. The addi tional reserve by . the New York city banks in the past two weeks is already more than the suspended banks realised in four months in 1837. The intelligence from Europe had a prompt effect upon the stock market. There were large males of New York Central at 811 to 83 at the first beard. and at 83 steady at the second board.
