A 611/410N of Parliament before Christmas would not bare been, in oar fathers' time, considered a thing out of coarse, or one that required @pedal excuse or explanation. It was the regular practice to summon the Lards and Canaan for the despatch of business in November ; and to provide them with work to do till Christmas Eve. Many important measures long sine* registered in the national annals were brought forward, fought oat, and finally disposed of in the days of the Idling year. One remarkable instance is suggested by the recurrence of the same subject now. The memorable India Bill of Mr. Fox was introduced by him on the 11th of November, 17S3— carried, after a nionth's debate in the Commons, on the Bth of December—and rejected, upon wood reeding in the Lords, on the 17th of the same month. We note the circumstance as illustrating the methodical and serious way in which politicians seventy yeses ago occupied them selves at Westminster ; not with any desire that the ominous example with regard to Oriental affairs should be drawn just sow into precedent. On the contrary, we continue to maintain the opinioa we have bons the first expressed, that without earehl sad somprehenaive inquiry into the causes of We mats, and into the general system of adminis tration that may be found to have conduced sadly thereto, no was Minister would propose to emit permanent laws for Southern Asia, and no wise Parliament would consent toentsrtain the proposition. The very ease alluded to above strongly confirms this view. Select Committees had for two years pre ✓ious to 1783 been actively engaged in investigating the grievaiseem of the comparatively email beffillndas that then acknowledged the Company's ewe, j mod it was upon the ground that these *Ada ha been fully made, and that the able Rigero of the Committees left nothing obscure as is agia• tees of fact, that Mr. Fox and bin esihmegnas use dertook to legislate in the art immdse min* referred to.

Bat idiom we was to consider what permanent asodßleatieme any be hereafter proposed in oar general laws of Banking, then we awn we could wish, as in the cm of India Reform, that our rulers would above all tillage beware of precipitaacy. We have hardly yet emerged from the jaws of a monetary crisis sock as ham rarely before menaced this °Pantry. Men's heart s have not yet returned to the average beat, nor hare TER EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1857. their heeds reseed to feel dizzy with the moralise whirl from whose outer circles they bans not yet quite escaped. Neither the =mantas nor the political world is in • fit candid°. a' feeling or information to deliberate celetly on a subject so full of inevitable diSculty. Look, for example, to the questions connected with the management of Joint-Stook Banks. A very general disposition exists to lay the chief portion of the blame in whatever has been reeently found to be wrong in our monetary system upr the heals el theme establishments. There is pretty m•ch the suss tendency to disponi(' beta aim that there was to depreciate the privets banks immediately after the failure of STRAHAN, PALL and BAT= This entiment will of course pam away, and men will learn to look diepsaaionately on the faults of their present constitution. Bat are they prepared to grapple with that gigantic organisation (for its pro portion have become gigantic), without thormegh sad searching inquiry? Take an elmesatary consideration, for example. The present law rya that the names of all the proprietors of Isiat4teek Beaks most be registered. " Very preps; malainos an impatient friend, " we'll let that stand.' Will you indeed AM of what practical um fa Hs existing mode of registration ? When Um Liver- pool Borough Bank stopped the other day, a gently sari, who wanted to know to whom he had to look for his money thus placed in jeopardy, desired to have a copy of the list of shareholders ; and what do our readers suppose the cost of making such • manuscript copy for legal purposes 'would have Men ? Several hundred pounds ! Will anybody in his senses say that such a method of registering proprietors' names is other than a delusion, a mockery, and a snare? Yet when we come to suggest remedies we may readily conceive how many things of a practical ware will have to be con sidered. For them reasons we should altogether deprecate hasty or premature legislation on Banking. The short session may, however, find other work ; and it will be the duty of Ministers to set it promptly to do what can be dome promptly and INDIAN MUTINY RELIEF FUND. IP.

In the newly published report of the Director' of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigatiaa Company, by which this important transit sorriso was performed, the following passage occurs ; " The application to his highness the Viceroy of Egypt for the means el transport of an Warmed number of passengers and baggage, not only met with ready assent, but errangements of the most efficient character were immediately made for the rapid and comfortable transit of the troops; while hie highness conveyed to the company's agent the following expression of his feeling in the matter :- 1. The Viceroy is very desirous to convey through his country as many soldiers as possible; and so groat a disposition does he display to facilitate their 1110,111. aunts, that he adds, ' I will consider them not as transit passengers, but as my own, and will carry them by my private engines, carioca, and tracks:" Cm ann.

NAPLES, Nov. 24. The permiaeion granted to Mr. Pugh to visit the English prisoners at Montesarchio must not be consi dered in the light of a concession on the part of the government. It was simply in his clerical capacity that he went, and, up to the time at which I am writing, no other person has seen them. On Satur day last the father of Mr. Parks arrived with let ters from the Foreign-office to Mr. Acting-Consul Barber, requiring his aid in procuring admission for him to see his son. On Sunday, therefore, Mr. Barber called on Signor Carafe, the Minister for Foreign /titian, and the result was, I believe, that Mr. Parks will be permitted to see his son, and that Signor Carafe will consult with his colleagues as to whether Mr. Barber may accompa ny In fact, I can stab' that an intimation had been con veyed to the British vice-consul at Salerno that no impediment would be thrown in the way of any in tereoures between the engineers and their relatives. Mr. Parks, therefore, has arrived in Naples, his ex penses being paid by our government, bearing in structions from the Foreign-office (which had been previously sent to the British consul at Genoa) to Mr. Acting-Consul Barber. According to these, I think I am right in saying that Lord Clarendon directs that the best counsel shall be employed for the defence of the English prisoners ; that Mr. Barber, as consul, shall demand for himself permis sion to see the prisoners ; and he is directed to accompany Mr. Parks on his visit to Salerno. There can be no hesitation in saying that they have been bettertreated than the other pa masers, but they were handcuffed when removed from the Vioaria to Salerno, and bound two and two by the upper pot of the arm. Watt, with true English spirit, resisted violently, but was finally overtone. On arriving in the prison of Salerno, one of them was so infnriated that he made an attempt upon his own life with his razor, and effected a wound, but his companion and the captain interfered, and thus saved his life. In fact, though they are well now, both engineers have been bled in conse quence of ill-health. I have only to add, in con nexion with the engineers, that though his father has written to him ax or seven times, Mr. Parka has not received more than two letters. With re to the other prisoners, their treatment hasCg very bad. The doctor, who was pat with the engineers and the ctain, was deprived of his one clothes, and oblig ed to wear the shirts of Parks; indeed on his arrival in Genoa he wore the panta loons and shirt of Parks. On being removed from the Vicaria to Salerno all were in so fool a state that orders were given for their cleanaing. At this very moment too the other prisoners ere still wearing their summer clothes, and are staining bitterly from cold. fio much for the vanntsd humanity of the Neapolitan government.

Dari mon and 011 is ier, the only other opposition mem bers for Pavia (now that General Cavaignac is dead) have taken it, u it was expected they would do. Bo also (and this we, not expected) have M. Cur t , of Bordeaux, and Dr. Herron, of Lyons. The latter refused it once before. He has, perhaps, been in duced to change his opinions by the arguments of the celebrated H. Prondhon, who in a private letter recommends that the oath should be takennpon the principle that although if you haves coat thatyon dis like you change it if you can, you are content to wear it if you ern get no other. M. Canoes letter to Hs I constituents, giving his reasons for refusing the oath, is now made public. Nothing is said about any demonstration on the part of M. Goudr-haux. He will probably retire quietly. There are three vacant seats for Paris, but the elections need not, and probably will not come on till six months after the vacancies occurred. The only liberal candidata, whore names I have heard mentioned are M. Ravin, of the &irk, and M. Nefftzer, the late editor of the Prase. Count Migeon, of Haut Rhin celebrity, whose election it was thoughrmight fuvr'sh the only pos- Mble excuse fora debate during the present formal onion, his cut the Gordian knot by resigning Ws seat. He, however, only resigns in order to be ab solved by his constituency from the stigma put upon him by the official provocation of Colmar. He will stand again, and ask his constituents to give him their verdict against his enemy, the prefect, By taking this comas, he hes contrived to put the government into a situation of great em barrassment, bawls M. Migeon's popularity is so well known in the department that his re-election is quite certain, unless it shall be deter mined to resort again to those barefaced illegal mea sures which were denounced to the execration of the world by M. Jules Fevre at the trial. More M. Migeon's appeal from the Court of Colmar to the peasants of the Haat Rhin is (Lofts orthodox, ander a government wb;ch by its origin is estopped from denying the power of universal suffrage to make right wrong. In making this observation, however, I am far from wisb'ng to insinuate that the judgment of the Court of Colmar against Count Migeon was right, for I think, as I have already said, that it was against the weight of the evidence. The Bourse was greatly affected by a fall of per cent. in Consols, and by news from Hamburg of the failure of MM. Ulbarg and Cramer, at Hamburg, whose liabilities are rated at 12 millions of mares bane*. This firm was in difficulties three weeks ago, and the Swedish Bank then advanced a large sum to prop it up. It is still said that means will be taken to enable it to resume business. However, the panic at Hamburg is deplorable. Other failures have also taken place in Germany, and at Turin and Genoa. Meanwhile, the bills falling due yesterday in Paris were duly honoured, and they amounted to nearly three millions of pounds sterling. The Rente fell 15c. for cash, and 20c, for account, closing at 67*. 10c. and 67fr. Railways lost nearly all that they gained yesterday. THE CRISIS AT HAMBURG.

Mr. Harry Pliers said he eras twenty-four years of age. sad brother of the last witness. Had not been brought up to say Modems, but had friends who allowed him enough to keep him in a respectable position. About ON 6th of Jam teat he wrote to plaintiff to the effect that he understood he had means to discount accommodation bills for gentlemen at the West end. He subsequently saw Rowland, and told hint he wanted 601. It was twanged that the bill should be fce , 1151., the 61. being for two mouths' discount. lie called at wiureas'eledgings, and told him the bill waste be discounted by Yr. Charles Elliston Wilson, who was connected with • fenerel company in 13ridgwareet, Blackfriars. Witness signed hie name to the bill, end gave it to Rowland, with 21. 10a. for his trouble. Rowland promised to call next day with a cheque for 90!., but did not do so. When he saw Rowland he raid he had had a great deal of trouble in getting In Mr. Wilson's debt., and witnew must take 9/. or 101. On other occasions he mat him at an cating.house in Bridge-street, Blackfriare, and wee kept waiting whilst he went to Mr. Wilson's, under the pretext that he was &mounting the bill. In several sums of 41. ids. for 51., 4!. for 61., and so on, the deductions being weds be Rowland's luncheon and omnibus farce, witness nweived about 261. net, which was called 291. 10a. Finding he could not get any more money, he gave Rowland the 361. bill as payment of the 291. 10s., In order to get back the 661. bill. Rowland came back and said he had kept the VI for Mr. Wilson's oontdderation. The same day Rowland gave him nearly 101., which he said was money of Wilson's which he had collected. Some days afterwards witness wonted the Wanes due on the 661. end the 351. bill to be returned. Rowland then said the 101. had bee ;given not on amount of the 661. bill but ea axonal of the 354 Witness mid it was any thin bat straightforward, and /misted on returning the 101. and having back the 361.

Witness took the pieces an d threw them into the street, not doubting it was the bill on which the action was brought. They then want into the Cape of Good Hope, kept by dingle, where he returned the 101., and Rowland asked him far • sovereign as a reward to go about getting the remainder of the 551. bill next day. The next time he saw him Row land said that was for the trouble of getting the 361. Of. and that he must have more for getting the balance of 201. 10e. due on the 661. bill. When that bill became due. he offered 361. to Rowland, bat Rowland mid he would have the whole 661., because of a quarrel on turf matter.

It must also be noticed that . the plaintiff denied them on cross-examination, every bttle of the "videos, a▪ bout e in which he obtained and retained possession of the 351. bill. Mr. Huddlestone was about to sum up the defendant's " S Jury t interposed, and said it was uonecesorry. Mr. Peteredorf raid he would only submit one point to them for the plaintiff, viz, that the 651. bill was paid without a word of objection. The Chief Baron-The cam is that it was paid rather than have a public exposure. Mr. Peters:lmi said the only other point was whether the *WWI would have brought the action in his own name, if he had not felt entitled to the money? If the tansacbon had been such as the defendant represented, would not Row lead have transferred the bill to a third party, and thus ex elided the greater portion, if not the whole of the defendant' s evidence? The Chief Baron-It would not have excluded it the least fa the world because there was evidence that when the bill berme due it was in the hands of Rowland. I hope It is not tree that it is so easy to get a person to swear he has received a bill before it became due, and paid money en aceennt of it, when such a statement was perfectly Wm sad unfounded.
