LONDON, 8427711 DAY. NOTEMBER 28. Ls France it ha. bees customary, when the 1 machinery of Government has been found not to work so well as could be wished, to change it en tirely by means of a Revolution. In England it has been customary, when the machinery of Govern ment has been found not to work so well as could be wished, to amend what was wrong is it bye special Reform Act, more or less extensive, according to circumstances; or to change the hands employed in working the machine. Since the year of grace 1789 there have been in France at least seven Revolutions, or complete changes of the form of Government. In England daring the same period we have had no Revo lution, nor anything approaching to one ; but we have had many changes of Ministers, and we have had many Acts of Parliament amending what has been found to be faulty or obsolete in the details of our laws and institutions. The results of these different modes of procedure are that at this moment the citizens of Great Britain enjoy more complete liberty of thought, speech, and action than those of France; the citizens of Great Britain have better assurance of safety to life and property than those of France ; and while France has paned from the irresponsible despotism of a BoettlioN dynasty to the irresponsible despotism of a Nsrottow dynasty, through a series of internal convulsions and wars, civil war has been unknown in our islands. This retrospect goes far to establish the superiority of the English mode of improving political institutions, and adapting old laws to new social conditions, as compared with the French mode. It seems passing strange, therefore, that a Minis ter so entirely English in his tames and habits as Lord P UMERSTON is generally ondentood to be, should have been frightened by the present Indian difficulty into a resort to the French, instead of the English, mode of remedy ing what may be amiss in onr Indian system of Government. Yet, if we are to believe the Tinier., which speaks on this occasion as if it had authority. Lord PALMERSTON'S remedy for the causes which have produced the Indian matiny—whatever they may be—is neither more nor less than an entire resolution in the frame work of our Indian Government. "We are happy to say," our contemporary announced yesterday, that as soon as Parliament meets for the despatch of " general Imiiness, the total abolition of the Com " pony's Government will be proposed by Ministers. India will be brought immediately under the control "of the Crown and Parliament, with such a ma " chinery of administration as shall be thought to be " conducive to its welfare. The greatest dependency " of the Empire will receive the benefits of direct " Parliamentary supervision or direct Ministerial responsibility." The first question suggested by this rather start ling announcement is : What reason is assigned for the entire suppression of the East India Company in such hot haste, without even the decent form of • preliminary inquiry? Four years have not jet elapsed since extensire modifications were rupee induced upon our system of Government in India by the British Legislature. In 1853 Lord PALMERSTON and his present colleagues were all in favour of the continuance of the Company's Govern ment. Up to the close of last session not one of them whispered a word against it. flow has this new light broke in upon them so suddenly ? What has happened to convince them that the existence of the Company can no longer be tolerated? One reason only is assigned by the Times. The l)irecton, that joarual asserts, are to blame for the adoption of the slow " method of marine locomotion which best " accords with their antique traditions." The ground lessness of this charge we have exposed in another article. But arming, for the sake of argument, that it wan well founded, is an error of judgment on the part of ooe set of Dim: tors to be held 'sufficient reason for the entire abolition of the Company in whose name they act, and the transference of all its functions to some new department of the ler perial Government? In April next six new Director, will fall to be elected—two by the Clasen and tour by the Company. Two years after that time other six vacancies will have to be supplied in the Direc tion. Even though the present Directors had laid themselves open to censure, there are constitutional means of getting rid of them; and the fault laid to their charge is personal—it has no necessary con nexion with the system of which for the time being they form a part. Even could we admit that the assertion of the Times was correct, it would not follow that even a partial legislative reform was called for, but merely a change of functionaries; and that the existing oonstitution of Indian Govern meat would enable us to accomplish. Even by the Times' own *bowing, the present cave is eminently one to be dealt with by the English, not by the French. mode of political amelioration. The evening organ of Government attempts to add another reason for the adoption of Lord PALMER. /troy , . Revolutionary Policy in India to that upon which the Times has exclusively perilled its case. " In India the Government of the East India " Company never quite lost the habits and at " Wades of a parents. It remained too much " addicted, like Sir Pertinax Maesyrophamt, “ to. boo .' Something stuck to it of the success " ful mercantile upstart, who had to pay his footing " by some extra complaisance among the old country " families." The meaning of thin rather vulgar and not very original attempt at Government-01es wit THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 1857. is sufficiently obvious. The great fault of the Com pany's Government in India, according to the writer from whom we have quoted, has been its attempt to adapt its modes of administration to the actual cir cumstances of society. Such a mode of procedure has been deemed by our greatest statesmen, and by our greatest philosophical exponents of the principles of government, an indication of political sagacity. The truth is that in no other way can any country be wisely and justly governed. If the object of the change about to be proposed by Lord PALMERsrox in our Indian policy is to be the abandonment of such principles of action, we may rest assured that India will be wretchedly misgoverned, and that there will he a constant succession of insurrections. There is little danger of our ever losing India by a mutiny of &pops, but there is certain danger of oar losing it by a high-handed Government of VERNON SMITIN. It is sufficient at present to point out the atter frivolity of the only reams which have u yet been assigned for Lord PALMERSTON'S projected coup d'etal. The consequences of such a measure for India must hereafter be discussed in all their bearings. But there are inevitable consequences of such a change, even for England, which Englishmen will do well to weigh carefully. By vesting the administra tion of India exclusively in the Imperial Govern ment an immense addition will be made to the patron age exercised by Ministers. The proposed transfer of India to the Imperial Government would add im mensely to its power of political corruption. Again, under the Company all classes have had the field of employment in India opened to them. The Company's civil and military services have been emphatically middle class professions. If Cannon-row is to be substituted for Leadenhall-street, the LAWRESCEs, NEILLS, and Ntchoisoirs will have no chance in future in competition with the Lte.txs and CAR DIGANS. No time will, we are glad to state, be last in again bringing the question of the admission of the Jews into Parliament under tho consideration of the Le gislature, Lord John Russell having undertaken, with the entire concurrence of Lord Palmerston, at once to lay a Bill for the removal of this host relic of religious intolerance on the table of the Ilouse of Commons. NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM DISTRICT BA 'K. NEWCASTLE, FRIDAY EVENING. Since the suspension of the business of this Bank was antinunted, on Thursday, there has been an almost con.tant attendance of the principal share holders at the flank premises, The result is an im proved feeling respecting its affairs, particularly as it is understood that some of the heaviest accounts which were most dreaded are found to be amply secured. A document expressing the read;ness of numerous influential sharehoqiers to make an immediate payment of It. per share, in order to enable the directors to resume business, has been signed to-day, and there seems every prospect of such resumption being immidiately carried into effect.

(IT 1193/SAILINI AND DBMS" TELEOZAIoII) (710I[ 001 WWII 0011.1SPONDEXT.) HAMBURG, FRIDAY Enigma. At en extraordinary meeting of the Civic Council held to-day, it was unanimously agreed to accept the proposition of the Senate, to create Exchequer Rills to the amount of fifteen million marks banco, to be lent on the security of imperishable merchandise, state bonds, or railway shares. HAMBURG, Nov. 25. The Board of Commerce has posted up the follow ing notice to-day in the Exchange Rooms: "It would greatly tend to allay the excitement, and contribute to restore commercial confidence, if those merchants who have already made their arrange ments for the immediate future, sod arc prepared to meet bills of exchange on them falling due in the next few days, would express their readiness to pay such bills immediately, after deducting the disommt. Those houses inclined to follow this suggestion are requested to send their firms to the offices of the Board of Commerce in the Exchange. Hamburg, 25th of November, 1837." HAMBURG, Nov. 26. In consequence of the energetic measures to rc here the violent pressure and restore public conf.- dence, taken by the authorities and our large capi talists, the phyeiogonomy of the exchange was of a much more cheerful and buoyant description to-day than it has been for a long time, and I am happy to be able to say there are no further stoppages to re port by this post. I mentioned, in my letter of yesterday, the notice posted up in the Exchange rooms by the Board of Trade, inviting merchants prepared to take up their bills immediately, though not due, to write their name in a book opened for that purpose at the offices of the Board. That measure was at tended with considerable success, and the following firms have inscribed themselves as ready to pay immediately their acceptances falling due up to the middle of December Wile and Co., Adolph J. Hertz and Soma, Weber and Shaer, G. H. Kaem meter and Sons, Nothebohm and Co , Hildebrandt and Co., Martin M. Fraenkel, J. Berenberg Gosaler and Co., Iteisig Sloman and Co., E. G. and T. Cordes, Bruckner and Albers, Ross Vidal and Co., Hearts and Co., J. H. Nagel, the Agency of the Bank of Brunswick, G. F. de Vow, Groner Albert and Co., Schiller Brothers and Co., T. Ph. Ree, H. C. Bock, Tiedgena and Robertson, David Jaques and Co., and Bauer Brothers and Co. But the most important part of my present letter is to communicate the fact that, yesterday evening, a deputation from the Bawd of Trade and the banks and principal merchants, had an interview with the Senate for the purpose of obtaining their consent to a fresh measure, obviously calculated to assist in restoring confidence and relieving the pressure occasioned by the present crisis. The proposal is to empower the Finance Department to make advances on imperishable mer chandise,on state bonds and railway priority shares, to the amount of fifty per cent. of their present market value, by means of bonds bearing interest and similar in principle to the Exchequer-bills in England, to be guaran teed by the state, and not redeemable before the lit of May next year. The deputation further de manded an immediate convocation of the Burger schaft to obtain their consent to the measure, which is absolutely required, u it is a money question. The Senate has suggested some altera tion, in the original plun, and the matter is still under consideration, whilst the negotiations are being carried on in the most energetic manner, and there is every reason to expect that the Senate will con voke the Ilurgerachaft for Saturday. When Mr. Charles Heine (the head of the emi nent firm of Solomon Heine) appeared on 'Change to-day, he was received with three lusty and ener getic cheers from the assembled merchants, as a mark of their respect and gratitude for the noble manner in which he has come forward to assist houses in temporary difficulties, and in proposing and executing measures to neutralise the extraordi nary pressure of the crisis. Every head was unco vered, hats and handkerchiefs were waved in the air, and the building resounded with loud cries of " Long live Charles lleiuc, a pillar of the Hamburg Ex change, and the worthy son of his revered father !" It is to be hoped that we have now seen the worst of the crisis, and that better days are coming. But ever since the great fire, in 1842, there has not been so mach excitement on the Hamburg Exchange a. during the last few days. CHINA. (►IoY OWL CIAX COARTATONDENT.) HONG KONG, Ocr. 5. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer, Norna, leaves this day at 2 p.m., with a fall cargo of silk from Shanghai, and will sail direct to Suez, calling at Singapore and Galls. The mail steamer will not leave until the 15th inst., so that it is quite possible this will reach Europe some ten days earlier than the regular mail. We have had another typhoon, the severity of which was chiefly felt in the neighbourhood of Macao, extending nearly two hundred miles. More than five hundred trading junks have been destroyed and several hundreds of persons mast have perished. The Norms, on her passage from Shanghai, had a very narrow escape, having passed between Macao and Hong Kong a great number of junks that were total wrecks. All the vessels at Hong Kong pre pared for the typhoon; but, although the wind blew fearfully for three days, the violence of the storm kept off. All the steamers kept up steam, so as to relieve their cables of the severe strain which they otherwise would have sustained. The Ava also had her steam up for the like reason, and some of the shore folk were under the impression that Lord Elgin intended to proceed in the Ave to the Peiho river, but this was an error. His lordship will not start for Pekin before the arrival of Baron Le Oros, the French plenipotentiary ; and no operations are expected to be undertaken against Canton until large reinforcements of marines and regular troops are received. The small steamer Lily has returned from Cochin China with intelligence that a Roman catholic bishop bad actually been put to death, but that he was • Spanish sod not a French prelate. His Excellency Sir John &wring is at present at Macao, on a short visit, and will return here in a few days. . . . . . There is a delicate inquiry going on at the Rogue fleet, connected with the melancholy misconduct of one of the officers of the gun-boat Dove, which cir cumstance has occasioned an unusual gathering of the naval forces in that quarter. The Emperor steam-yacht, intended for the government of Japan, arrived here three days ago, having left England in April last; the gun-boats Leven, Algerine, and Blaney, also arrived here two or three days ago.

The gore nment has invariably ntisxl pecmissicn to visit our fellow-subjects in the prisons of Salerno to Mr. Acting Consul Barber and to all private individuals; but a few days since, the Itevez end Mr. Pugh, chaplain of the British Legation in this city, applied for such a per mission to the Minister of Grace and Justice. The Minister being unable to grant it, referred Mr. Pugh to his Majesty, and a request having been made ac cordingly, an order was sent in compliance with the wish. On Wednesday last, therefore, Mr. Pagh went down to Salerno, and was of course received with due courtesy. His report is that he found the men in good health, comfortably and cleanly housed, and that they themselves made no complaint of ill treatment. They dwelt much upon their incar ceration as a great hardship, on their being cut off from all communication with their friends, and I believe on several other things which may be regarded as national peculiarities. In strict impartiality I tell you this, but admitting it all, it does not touch the question at issue, which is that British subjects have been imprisoned almost for five months without trial; that they have been de nied all intercourse with their friends or country men ; that this privilege, not denied, and therefore accorded by the law, has been refused even to the only British authority in Naples, and at the special request of the British government ; and that after eleven of the crew have been liberated, the two Eng lish engineers are still detained, though the circum stances under which they were taken on board the Cagliari were precisely similar. Such are the real points at iodine, and not whether they dino well or sleep well, or are clothed in clean linen. Amongst the gossip of the city it is said that a soldier lately, and most earnestly, requested permis sion to see his Majesty. The audience was granted, but on condition that the man should be dressed in the presence of his captain, who was to inspect him from bead to foot, and be responsible for him. Sir Charles Lyell, who has been to Sicily, and has been examining many points of interest about Naples, leaves to-day by the Marseilles steamer. Since writing the above I have received other in formation connected with Mr. Pugh's visit to Sa lerno. As his visit was strictly professional, he ab stained from entering on subjects which another person might have touched upon : still the conversa tion was unreserved and in English, and one of the men said, that " they had met with much kind ness, and had plenty of what was needed, as the Genoa steam-boat administration had sent them money through the Procureur-General." I refer this acknowledgment of kindness, therefore, to Sardinia. In fact nothing has resulted from this visit to inva lidate my previous statements ; they are substan tially true, and the case as between the two go vernments remains just in the same position. The captain of the Cagliari, who .was present, and is an old man, was greatly depressed, and wept much. Five per Ceuta, 1141 ; exchange on London, 616.

NEW YORK, S TURDAY, Nov. 14. Our financial world is settling back to its repose, and the Arabia's news yesterday brightened up everything. Two impressions are now left deeply upon the community. The first is, that the imme. diate cause of all the mischief which has been done was panic-sheer panic ; the second is, that it has administered a salutary and much needed check to the headlong impetuosity of American enterprise. Americans do not know how to do things by halves, nor even with moderation. As a young and vigorous nation, we have all the faults that belong to youth. The desire to grow suddenly rich has been the dominant feeling of all classes. Prudence, dis cretion, and good judgment, cannot prevail over the superabundant qualities of adventure and extrava ganoe. It requires some sudden check, some abrupt event, to divert the public mind from its accustomed channels of thought, to arrest the avalanche rush of the million. It is twenty years since anything Tike this state of things has been witnessed. But this re. vulsion will not last as long, or b 7 any means prove as fatal to individuals, to corporations, or to states, as the great crisis of 1837. Then we were without railroads or telegraphs. Agriculture was neglected, and the surplus wealth of the country, and in fact nearly all its currency and its credit, were absorbed in land speculations. Breadatuffs rose to famine prices, and we were importing our wheat from Europe. There was scarcely any gold in the country, and our imports far exceeded our exports. The whole banking system of the United States went by the board, and State repudiation followed, over whelming us in calamity at home and disgrace abroad. But now the case is entirely different. There is an unprecedented abundance of breadstuffs, and of all the fruits of the earth. The prices of the accessories, the comforts, and the luxuries of life have fallen from one-half to three-quarters the prices which ruled one year ago. There is more gold in the country than there has ever been, and at least twelve times more of the precious metals than there was twenty years ago. In the mean time, our ex. ports are exceeding our imports, and very greatly so during the present season. The English steamers now bring us gold by every arrival, and must con. tinue to do so for some time to come. The banking system of the country, although smitten with the Simoom blast which has swept over the nation, is sounder than it ever has been. The general em. pension of the hanks was on the part of most of them a matter of salutary precaution rather than of stern necessity. This is the view taken of the matter in London. A run upon the Bank of England, or all the banks of the British Empire, of twenty-four hours, might compel them to adopt the same expe dient. The destruction of confidence broke up the whole system of exchange between New York and all other places on the Continent. All sorts of business that could stop were arrested; and yet the country is rich. _ _ _ The granaries are loaded with their burden, and little or no individual suffering has yet attended this wide-spread appearance of calamity. If our im ports should fall off during . the next six months as rapidly as they have during the last thirty days, the surplus coming to us in precious metals from Europe would settle the question of our European indebtedness. But these imports will not fall off permanently, nor will this stagnation continue. It is an impossibility that the vital powers of this re public should be effectually chilled up to their very fountains by a mere panic. Nor can any long-con tinued results spring from such transient causes. But the nation has received a mast healthful lesson in economy, retrenchment, and reform. Stocks of all kinds are rising day by day on 'Change. Many companiees that were supposed to have lost heavily are declaring their usual dividends; the paralysis is passing away, and gradually, but surely, tho country, its enterprise, and its business, are putting on their usual look again. The New York papers have been filled for a week or two with apprehensions of bread riots and dia. turbanees from the unemployed classes; and the alarm became so great a Jew days ago that the United States officers in the city telesraphed to the President at Washington for a military force; and lieutenant-General Scott made requisitions from neighbouring fortresses and arsenals for troops, and some of them were actually stationed in the Custom-house. But it was nothing very serious after all. A few thousand men out of employment assembled in some of the public squares, and some inflammatory appeals were made, chiefly by squads of European emigrants of 1848. They gave expression to the Communistic Socialism and Red Republicanism of the German and French revolutionary school. But it all ended in talk. They were joined by large masses of the idle and the vicious, and after a lew ineffectual attempts to get up a disturbance, they gave up the affair as a bad job, and dispersed. Without doubt some ten or fifteen thousand of the working classes of the city have recently been thrown out of employment; but such are the provisions of our public charities, that they who are actually suffering are those who will not apply to the authorities for relief. The savings banks of New York city make no report like our other banking institutions, of the amounts de posited with them ; but it is well known that at no period in the history of Ame rican banking has there been so large an amount of deposits in the savings banks as at the present moment. It is also believed on all hands that before winter sets in—fur there has yet been no suffering from cold—moat of the labouring classes will be again employed ; for trade, and busi ness, and manufactures, are gradually resuming their previous position. The disaffected among the unemployed appointed committees to confer with the public authorities, and these committees began by demanding work as a right. On all hands this de mand was instantly and firmly denied, and treated with derision. The Communistic principle is not recognised in America by our system of govern ment, or by any department thereof, or by any institution. Nor will it be, under any circumstances. Bat the desire of the autho rities, and of the public, is very earnest that every possible measure of relief shall be adopted; and consequently, within a day or two, several thousand labourers will be lint upon some of the public works of the city. 'I here will thus be dis b,asements made by the Federal Government at Washington in its works here and in the neighbour hood, and by the authorities of the city and State, to the extent of several millions. MACOMO IN PRTsON.—The once formidable Kaffir Chief Magma, better known u Mecum°, is in prison st Alice, for the offence of being found in the Cape Colony without a pee When brought before the magistrate and charged, he said, " I and my people have been in the habit of capturing homes and cattle from thieves who have committed thefts in the colony, and returning them to their proper owners. I lately captured a horse which I knew to be the pro perty of Mr. Hartman, of Victoria. I applied to Mr. Lucas, who was appointed to moist me in the management of m ‘ y people, for a FM, as I wished to deliver up Mr. Hartman horse end to see the old gentleman, he and I having known each 'other fur many yeare. A pass was refused by Mr. UMW. 1 then went to Commionmer Maclean ' and asked him for a peas, and told him the reason I wanted it. He raid Mr. Lucas was the proper person to give me a pare, and told no to go back and ask for it. 1 did not du no, knowior it to be nealsee. Mr. Lucas and I are not on gond terms. I cannot brook the treatment he gives me. I out an aged chief and a great non, not inferior to Sendilli, and touch abler to mime the Kaffir nation. Mr. Lucas is a boy i and the Queen commission dues not always bring with R knowledge And experience. 1 went end delivered up Mr. Hartman . ' horse; and when returning home, about two miles from the pre mises of Mr. Hartman, at Mr. Berry's, Cathcart Vale, 1 was apprehended and lodged in prison." The rnagiartlx could not consider anything Maoomo said as an extenuation —his excellency the governor might. lie (Macorno) wee therefore aentenced to twelve menthe' imprisonment. He wee then removed to gaol, and the next morning =rayed to Graham's Town by an armed party of the frontier mounted police.
