Is so far as can be gathered has the biographic anticipation of the Overland Mail, the gravity of the crisis in Bengal has in nothing abated. True, we ore told that the rebels at Delhi have been attacked and driven dispirited into the town, with the loss of twenty-six guns ; and that all the commanding posi tions in the vicinity of Delhi arc in the possession of the European and loyal native troops. Nay. it is rumoured that 300 men had tied from Delhi, and that the ill-starred Kt:co—what we heartily believe—was desirous of throwing himself on the mercy of the British Government. Still the statement that the rebels had been driven into Delhi, implies that they had ventured to give battle to toe Government troops outside of the town ; and such daring on their part has of itself an ugly look. It is also stated that the Telegraphic Wires betweee Delhi and Agra bad been cut by the mutineers, which implies a considerable amount both of knowledge and of military foresight among their leaders. But the worst remains to be told. It had been found necessary to disarm the native troops at most of the stations in the Punjaub, and, owing to desertion and other causes, the nume rical strength of the Bengal Army had been reduced, according to one statement, by 28,000; according to another, by 30,000 men. It is said that hitherto the disaffection has been confined exclusively to the ranks of the Army. This we believe to be true; but what fearful interruption to the tranquillity of the province may not result from 30,000 mutinous men at arms being thrown loose upon society, without either the means or the inclination to support themselves by honest industry. Besides, these men will keep up commu nications with the native soldiers who still. remain —..._. true to their colours, and the consequences of this intercourse may be most disastrOus. It is pre mature to say that the mutiny has been checked in the ranks of the Bengal Army. It is stated that the discipline and loyalty of the Bombay and Madras Armies are unshaken. With regard to the Bombay Army we believe that this is certain; but many well-informed persons speak less confidently of the state of the Madnu Army. At all events, until the Bengal mutiny is finally suppressed there will always be danger of the contagion spreading to the other Yre . •idencics. So much for the extent and aspect of the peril. There is also a counter-balancing statement of good to be made. At Bombay and Calcutta the first ex treme of alarm appears to Lave abated. At the latter place, in particular, the panic would seem at first to have been of that unreasoning nature which disarms men of the power to adopt rational measures to ward off danger. According to the latest accounts, all the influential communi ties in Calcutta, the Mahommcdans included, had presented loyal addresses to the Government ; and this had somewhat tranquillised the minds of the European residents within the ditch. Reinforce ments of European troops were rapidly closing in upon the North-West Territory from the Bombay and Madras Presidencies and from Ceylon. More important still, Sir PATRICK GIANT was acting as Commander-in-Chief, General ANSON having died of cholera at Kurnaul ou the 27th of May. It would be cowardly and foolish to shrink from recognising the full extent of the danger that lin pends over us. The stake for which we play is neither more nor less than the permanence of our Empire in India. We feel that the nation is fully competent to maintain its ascendancy there—we are convinced that it will ultimately so put forth its might as to maintain that ascendancy. But we can not conceal from ourselves that blunders may be committed at the outset which may render the struggle even more Arthur's than at present it ap pears likely to be. The tint thing to be cared for is the Bengal Army. 'Melones must be adopted to restore it to a better mood. It matters little what may be the reasons assigned for the late muti nies ; they evidently have their source in • deep rooted, wide-spread spirit of disaffection and insub ordination of long standing. sow, cur hold of India can only be maintained by the efficiency and loyalty of oar Army ; and the greater part of that Army must alms casuist of natives. It may be found neees aryls segment the proportion of European regi ments, teat two things will always place a limit to the extent to which this can be done. The first of thine is the extreme costliness of an European soldier in India; the second is the comparative paucity agitations at which the health of European soldiers can be toured at all seasons of the year. By augmenting to some extent the number of European soldiers, and distributing them judici ously at the various stations favourable to the constitution of Europeans, a more powerful cheek, susceptible of more prompt application than hitherto, may be placed upon our native troops. Additional safety will be ensured by enrol ling a greater variety of castes, races, and reli gions in our native army than has hitherto (at least in Bengal) been the case. By this means the risk of a national movement ageing! British ascendancy will be in a great measure averted. The neersory fusion of these heterogeneous ele ments must be effected by inspiring the army with • feeling of pride in its connexion with the Anglo- Indian Goeerument. Two measures will materially contribute to the attainment of this end. The first is the doing of justice to the English officers 11F1 EXPRESS, MONDAY EVE ZING, JULY l3, 1867.. . of the Indian Army. If it were nenessary that the Commander-in-Chief in India should be an officer of the Quitex's Army, probably no better choice could have been made than Sir CoLtr CAMPBELL. The promptitude with which that gal lant soldier baa responded to the call of Government Is of itself sufficient to justify the choice made of him. Still there can be no doubt that Sir PATRICK GRANT is, in all that constitutes the soldier, at least the equal of Sir COLIN CAnreexi, or of any olden in the QUEE:eB Army. He is on the spot ; and he may have quelled the mutiny by his efforts before another arrives to reap the harvest of his labours. This is unjust ; it cannot fail to irritate and alienate the officers of the Com pany. service; and it is only rendered necessary by the traditional narrow-mindedness and super ciliousness of the Horse Guards as respects the In dian Army. There must be a peremptory stop put to that insolent spirit, which is understood to have prevented Lord HARDINGE from attending the dinner given by the India Company to Sir PATRICK GRANT, and which now prevents Sir PATRICK GRANT from being appointed to the chief command in India. At this time there is more to be done than merely to suppress a mutiny: an Army has to be regenerated; and the officer who has acquired all his military distinction and experience in connexion with that Army is surely the man best fitted for the task. The other measure to which we have alluded is the adoption of a sys tem by which the English officer shall be brought into more frequent and unreserved commutnia tion with the native soldiery he commands. Retrospective criticism will, in • C 3.43 like the present, be better avoided. The fact, however, cannot be denied, that there has of late been too little freedom of communication ... tercen the English officer and the native soldier. The manner in which the Meerut mutiny took the English officers by surprise is of itself sufficient proof of this. For this evil the Company's Government appear to have been principally to blame. They have hampered the intercourse between the officers and the men by all kinds of pedantic restrictions. This must has, an end. The men must be accustomed to look up to their officers as powerful friends ; the officers accus tomed to rely upon the men as attached followers. All this is compatible with the sternest discipline. It is the severe, but just, and not harsh or passionate officer who can make anything he pleues of his soldiers. As subsidiary to the two measures here recommended, the mischievous system of re warding meritorious officers by political appoint ments ought to be abolished. The army ought not to be deprived of its best officers by converting them into hybrids between the soldier and civilian ; the officer ought to be taught to look for distinction in his professional avocations alone. In this manner the heterogeneous materials of which our native armies ought to be composed may be fused into a harmonious whole; our Indian soldiers of all castes, religions, and races will come to be animated by one common feeling of devotim to their standards. Item we pause for the present. There are many other reforms called for in our Indian pulley ; but the regeneration of the Bengal .krtny is the imme diate task to be grappled with. To this end it is to be hoped that Sir COLIN CAMPBELL goes out pre pared to let the Indian officers see that he, with the feeling of a true soldier and a true gentleman. recog nises the Indian officer as in every respect the equal of the officer in the Queen's army. It is also to be hoped that the authority of the Govfinson- GKNERAL over the COMM %MAR-IN-CHIEF is for the time being to bc reduced to a medium. It may be doubted whether in an emergency like the present the offices of Governor-General and Com mander-in-Chief ought not to be vested in the same person. But we suppose it would be (red-topically speaking) impossible to recall Lord COINING imme diately; and assuredly his lordship would make a queer Commander-in-Chief. Ateliez , uor I‘VIIALE, during his late exami nation as a witness before the Mayo Election Committee, declined to say what he considered to be personal denunciation (ron the altar, assigning as his reason for such refusal that he could lint till whether the priest accusad of such offence might not bo brought befor..., non a specific charge of having so offended, and that he was unwilling to commit himself till then to any opinion on a case which he might have to decide as an ecclesiastical . . . judge. No civil injury, however grave—no infrac tion of the public law, however serious—no vindica tion of race, creed, or country, however called for— can be permitted to find place in the mind of this Most Reverend Prelate, when the maintenance of Romish discipline and teaching is or may colourably be said to be involved. He was asked if declaring that " the curse of the ALMIGHTY would rest on a man if he voted for Colonel IitGGIN4 " would come within the scope of the inhibition which he admitted forbade political or personal denunciation' His answer was, that until he had sufficient proof to satisfy him that such words were actually uttered, and until he bad satisfied himself regarding all the circumstances of the case, ho would not say whether he considered such an imprecation unjustifiable or not. In other words, the priesthood, according to their archiepiscopal chief, arc not to be condemned fur any amount of interference at elections, however mis chievous or monstrous, until the accusation has been removed from the ordinary tribunals of the laud to that private and irresponsible court over which one of their own order presides. We can conceive few things more adeulated to injure the Roman Catholic body in the estimation of their fellow-subjects than the avowal of doctrines like these by uno of the heads of their church. There is something yet more strange and per plexing. It would appear from the admissions in ale by the ATTOI.N E -GEN ERIL fur I D, in answer to certain questions put to him in the ❑ouse the other day, that not only have the witnesses been bullied and menaced by certain persons within the very precincts of the Representative Palate, when leaving the Committee Room, but that upon • their return to the iccoo of electoral eta,' hi ►re- land they have been openly waylaid and amsaikd with stick.; and stone.,andthat in some instances they have sustained very mat, rial injuries. It is evident that, under the enlightened teaching of a particular school of episcopal and priestly pastoes of the Roman Catholic Church, the people hove got into their heads that the ultimate determination of all election contests rests, and ought to rest, with the anointed arbiters of all earthly right, and with them or their push° instruments alone. We du no; ' mean to say that this theory of appellate jurisdic tion vested in the mob of Mayo and their ghostly counsellors, is actually or openly promulgated by the latter in so many words. Still less would we be understood as intending to insinuate that such pre tensions are either recognised or sanctioned by the more civilised portions of the Catholic, community in other parts of the kingdom. But it is unhappily too plain that in the remote region specially subject to the erecier of St. iAtLATII, ideas and notions regarding civil and ecclesiastical authority are absolutely at variance with all we know and reverence as the paramount claims of the former to sieved obedience. In 114104 and, we believe, up* tlsc oilier put of Irelinii,tteivery Beene orParlial mast Ili. signal of submiagolland ne man dreams el setting aside or setting at sought its sovereign will. Connaught, or at least that portion of it which oorunitutes the episcopal region of Tuam, appears to have still to learn the duty of submission to the orders and behests of the Legislature. Public opinion there, if such it can be called, would applaud the courage of the iron who would formally set at de fiance tho Se••••tes warrant to appear and give evidence at the bar before a Committee of the House. It will unquestionably extol as heroic and sublime the evasions to which Archbishop M.Mte resorted when examined, in order to avoid admitting disagree able truths ; and it but too plainly approves of the sum mary methods resorted to for punishing tlw humbler witnesses from Mayo on their return home. Mr. FITZ UERALD persuaded the I loose of Commons the other evening to entrust him, as Attorney-General fer Ireland, with the vindication of its outraged autho rity. The hon. and learned gentleman quitted Lon don soon afterwards for the avowed purpose of car rying into effect Lis undertaking. We hope he may succeed through the medium of the ordinary tribunals of the realm; but if he fails, it will in our judgment behove Parliament not to separate without taking peremptory steps for t h e solution of its insulted power and dignity.
