The Indian date are—Caleatta to the 21st and Madras to the 28th @flans ; Bombay and Ceylon to the let of July. On the 17th of Jane Delhi still held out. A roper had reached Madras, previously to the dopetak of the Mail, that Delhi bed sarreadered ; but the report is not coafirmed from Bossbay, which sight be expected to hare received the intelligence sower, and from which the Mail was despatched three days later. Up to the 17th, General Batt- 'ciao hiid repulsed repeated sorties of the Ingo:- gents, who are mid to dm ssibred se►erely in those affairs. This, however, seam to imply that the matinees* la Delhi were still strong in hope. General BAJIMAILD RIB WidellgOOd to be waiting Mutiny, it is stated, continued to spread among the Bengal Repays; bat no putiealan an given. A more important pises of news, as seeming to throw light as this extensively ramified and still extending mutiny is, that the King of OVDE and his MiniMers have been arrested, and consigned to Port William. Government, we are amsred, affirms that it has prod of their complicity in the mutiny. This would impart a more serious character to the move mentthan it has yet presented itself is ; for the dis turbances in Code which afforded a pretext for the dethronement of the late dynasty, were mainly occasioned by the conatensnee which the Court lent to a war waged against the:Hind/me by certain htshometso zealot,. It the ex-Government of Chide is really implicated in the mutiny, the prophecy of some old and experienced Indian officers that the Hindoo Sepoys would be found to have been men cat's-paws of Mahometan plotters will prove true. The active measures reported to have been Mien by the Governor-General and his Council—in addition to the arrest of the ex-King of Ou DE and his Ministers—may be briefly enumerated. They have quietly disarmed the native soldiers in Calcutta and the Brigade at Barrackpore ; and they have passed a law - subjecting the " Indian peeps" to a licensing system.! Whether by " Indian" we are to under stand merely the "native" press, or the whole news paper press of India, does not appear. An uneasy feeling with regard to the loyalty of the soldiery prevailed at Madras, but neither there nor at Bombay had there been any overt acts of insubordination in the army. The state of mercan tile affairs at the three Presidencies, taken as an indication of public opinion with respect to the prospects of a restoration of tranquillity, was rather discouraging. At Calcutta all trade was nearly at a stand, the money market was tight, and Government securities had de clined. At Madras the import trade was still brisk, but the money market was less easy, and Government securities had suffered depreciation. At Bombay the import market was regarded as closed, money was becoming scarce, and little was doing in Government securities. It would be premature to speculate upon this intelligence before we are in possession of most full details, which mast arrive in a few days. The result of last night's debate, on the Resolu tions moved by Sir Di LACY EVANS, respecting Military Education, is mast satisfactory. We can not but feel gratified that the House of Gammons has unanimously affirmed the principles which we have so long advocated. The Government, it seems, has already settled one part of its scheme, and it promises the rest for next session. Lord Par MER wroN is perhaps the only politician of the day who would have so clearly discerned the signs of the times, or who would have so tally answered the demands of the public. The maims is shortly u follows: There is to be a standard test of examination for I all officers on entering dm army. Every man who aspires to hold her Majosty's Commimion most prove that he has received the whmation of a gentleman. We must say we quits mow with the opinion of the House that to ems the whole Commission of the army to empathise would be a great mistake. There are Isalitie—physical and emistitadosal— whisk it is almost impamible to test by say exami nees I ma 4 a• Amen by applying a mere examiner the last may yew ma fitted to make admirable milkers maid be embred kw ever.

It left Dover for Portsmouth rio the Red hill Maim ot the Routh Rasters Railway and the London and Brlgleka Railway, at 3.40 p.m., Mr. Johastorie riding on the urging.

Hi■ Royal Highgate embarked in the • elate barge from the new landing place of the dockyard, and • left in the Fairy about half-past seven. The usual salutes were sired. The present system of granting Coaunimions for the scientific corps—the Artillery and Engineers— founded as it is on the competitive principle, is, ws understand, to be maintained. All the sophisms paraded by Sir W. Wnxisne last night failed to convince us that this system, inaugurated by Lord PANNURE, has failed to achieve the results expected of it. But the chief point concerns the Staff Under that term we trust, as Mr. SIDNEY Runnier observed in his admirable speech, that Aides-de-Camp will De included. It is sometimes said that they merely re quire is be able to dress and ride. But if this is so, as the same speaker significantly remarked, let their par and advantages cease. The truth is, Aides-de ' Onp have high duties to discharge which need irmhd tailing knowledge. They ought therefore be Wheel la the Staff, and subjected to all the :ream Impend on the other members of the Now, Lord PAisizaeson has promised that mitramse to the Stiff gal only be obtained by a corn ratios sesembeffiaa, The candidates are to be selected fleet d6ms who have served some years with tbiele eeshands.

If he is seseemed Ia 1 1 the examination, he will obtain • cestilleate 1141161 will entitle him to Staff employment. In the mew time, he will return to his regiment : nor ass them be a doubt that the presence et highly-edema& elite cers—who have obtained Staff certificates, bet bon not yet got Staff appointments—will infuse • WWI spirit into our regiments of the line, a bee for military study now almost unknown. And this will be the chief advantage of the system proposed for our Army over the French system, which seemed to be recom mended for adoption, though, as we think, some what incautiously, by General WYNDHAM,. In France the Staff is quite a separate corps, in which the regimental officer can never hope to be num bered. This leads naturally to jealousy and disgust. In the system proposed to be adopted in our army the privileges of the Staff will be confined to no caste. Any regimental officer who can show him self the best in examination will entitle himself to be educated for the Staff; and if at the close of his Staff College career he proves that he has made the best use of his time, he will be entitled to Staff em ployment. Such a system es this, whilst it provokes no feeling of jealousy, is almost certain to secure the ablest men for the Staff. We have hardly left ourselves room to speak of the machinery by which these examinations are to be conducted—the Council of Education. Though the Government still refuse to allow any infu sion of the civil element into this council they promise that the examiners who conduct the examinations shall be partly civilians, to be annually appointed. We cannot but think that the Council in question would be both more independent and more efficient if some civilians were upon it, and we are not without hopes that even yet something of the civil element may find a place. On the whole, however, we are well satisfied with what the Government has promised to do. We cannot but think that this new system—especially as it concerns the Staff—is the inauguration of as great, though perhaps as unostentatious, a reform as this country has ever witnessed. Sir De LACY EVANS and the Commissioners on Military Educa tion deserve the thanks of the country for what they hare done in this question. henceforth industry, military knowledge, and intelligence arc the only qualities which can entitle an officer to those Staff appointments which are the best paid and the most responsible in the British army.

The India mails were to leave Alexandria that morning with intelligence from Calcutta to the 21st of June ; from Madras to the 28th; from Ceylon to the Ist of July; from Bombay to the Ist of July; and from Hong Kong to the 10th of June. The mutiny had continued to spread among the troops of the Bengal army. The King of (hide has been arrested, and with his minister imprisoned in Fort William.

He was waiting for reinforcements. From Madras it is positively stated that Delhi has been captured ; but this intelligence is not con firmed from Bombay, and seems to be premature. An act has been passed by the Bengal legislature, placing the Indian press under a license system. The native troops at Calcutta and the brigade at Barrackpore have been quietly disarmed. An uneasy feeling prevails at Madras, but the army of that presidency, and that of Bombay, are both without the slightest sign of disaffection.

The Duke de Rivas, the newly-appointed Spanish Ambassador, has arrived in Paris. -- It was known at the Bourse to-day that the Indian news had occasioned a fall of in in Consols. The effect upon the Itente was leas than might have been expected. It fell only 10c., closing at &gr. 80c., both for cash and account, but, as has been the case for the last few days, there was very little business doing. Mobilier fell 6fr. Railways were dull, with scarcely any variation. M. Werne, the sub-governor of the Bank of France, is said to have resigned in consequence of a difference of opinion with M. de Germiny. 'f he Pays correspondence from London states that the East India Company has just freighted seven grand clippers of 2,000 tone each to convey troops to Calcutta. These ships, which are to be ready for the company's service on the 28th instant, are the James Baines, Champion of the Seas, Forerunner, Warrior Queen, Genghis-Khan, Vernon, and Marl- borough. The French press has been busy within the last few days in discussing the question whether the existing laws, which restrain political comments within exceedingly narrow limits, are as operative as might be desired for the repression of libels upon private character. The controversy was provoked by a paragraph inserted by M. Mires in the Condi tutionnel and Pays, of which journals he is the proprietor, complaining that a pamphleteer whom he had prosecuted to condemnation several times for libels upon bimselfstill continued his dirty work, and suggesting that the law should be made more stringent. It is alleged that the courts of law punish private libels with only short periods of imprisonment and nominal damages, while the profits of slander are so large that the trade goes on flourishing in spite repeated convictions. The liberal papers admit and lament the fact that scandalous anecdotes relating to individusls have become a favourite com modity in the literary market within the last few years, but they consider the increased demand for and supply of private slander as the only natural consequence of the restrictions placed upon public discussion. If the tribune were free, and if the public acts and speeches of public men might be freely canvassed, literary men would have something better to do than to rakeuppersonal details, concern- JOLT 23. iog individuals whose names happen to be more or less known, and moreover there would be far less curi osity about such matters than there now is. It is also observed that the courts can in their discretion give larger damages than they have been in the habit of doing, and therefore no new law is neces sary. The government journals, however, catch eagerly at the idea of more repression. They would have every publication of every kind subjected to the onerous ri'yime of caution-money and warnings. The Patric exclaims, with naive enthusiasm, that it would have no defamation of any kind—" neither that which dishonours individuals, nor that which discredits and overturns governments." But then it professes immense reverence for the sacred right of discussion. How is the line to be drawn ? The jury of the Exhibition of Modern Artists yes terday awarded tho grand medal of honour to M. Yvon for his admirable picture of the taking of the Malakoff. The majority in M. Yvon's favour was 24 out of a meeting of 27 members. The Daily News, Express, Morning Post, Sun, and Morning Advertiser were seized to-day. M. Emile Durand, a composer of eminence, was married on Saturday to Madlle. Louise Boieldieu, the niece of the famous author of La Damc Blanche. The Paris correspondent of the Times writes: " The Emperor and Empress will embark on Wed nesday, the 3th, at llavre for Osborne, where they will spend six or seven days. It is believed that this visit to Osborne will not be a mere exchange of compliments, but that during the Emperor's brief so journ several weighty matters will be discussed be tween the two Sovereigns and their respective Mi nisters. Count Walewaki will accompany the Em , peter." REVOLT IN MADAGASCAR. " The news which we receive from Madagascar, soya the Cernfen of the Mauritius, "is moat im portant. A revolt had burst out in the province of Emirne, and upwards of 4,000 insurgents had made their appearance at Tananarive before the Queen, claiming protection agaitnt the acts of brutality of her delegates in the provinces. But not only their complaints were unattended to, but 1,1100 were ar rested and thrown into confinement, to be put to death on the Ist of June, at the fete of ' The Bath,' the greatest of the llova people." The amounts re ceived proceed to say : It appears, however, that Prince Estonia, on learning this derision of the Queen, formally protested against so mengulnary an order, and affirmed that the execution should Dot tete place. He added that already too much blood had been shed by his mother's government, and that it was his firm intention for the future to see that a more humane and more equitable system of administration should be acted on with respect to the Hove people. This declara tion, made publicly, in presence of the Queen, of her minis ters, end of the whole court, bud produced an immense emennatien, and grave events were expected, in cue the government ventured to proceed to the easention of the prisoners. M. Lambert (the French agent) had quitted Tarnatava on the Mb Hay to procerd to Emirne, followed by the precious obje ct, which be was charged to convey to the Queen and to Prince Mahouts. This latter bad mat five of his aides-de-camp to meet him, and the Queen had placed at his orders a numerous eacert. It was supposed that he might reach Tananarive in about a dozen days, in time to be present at the greet Pte., of "the Bath." The presence in the waters of St. Louis of eight vessels of war of the French division in the Chinese seas bad produced at Tomatoes a great sensation. AI,STRIA AND SARDINIA. " Count de Morognes, the Sardinian minister who is accredited both to the courts of Belgium and the Hague," says a letter from Brussels in the Patrie, " has left the Belgian capital for Holland, from which country he will not return until after the ter mination of the litre for the man iage of the Princes Charlotte. That fact would seem to show that the government which this diplomatist represents and the court of Austria are still fur from friendly," IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS-TIIIS DAY.
