The Express. — London, England, 1857-07-31 00:00:00

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING. JULY 31, 1867. India. It is to be feared that these overgrown schoolboys have already forgotten much that is sapposed to have been flogged into them. They appear to have already returned to their old dawdling ways of transacting business. At least we are induced to infer as much from the following narrative which has reached us from a credible source. Months ago the new clothes for the 28th ltegiment, now stationed at Malta, were received from England. The regimental tailors set to wore with a will, and by the Ist of April every suit was made an exact fit. But the buttons for the new tunic were to be attached by millet holes, as fancy buttons are put on gentlemen's waistcoats. By some over sight the buttons wem not sent along with the tanks. A letter can reach England from Malta in four days; and a parcel can reach Malta from Eng land in ten. Yet on the 113th of July the wiring buttons were not forthcoming ; and the mew aielbse which—barring the buttons—had been fitted to the men on the let of April, could not be worn. If the regiment had been on some remote station, or in the field, what tatterdemalions the men might have been before their new clothes could be worn. This is bed, but worse remains behind. The Maas Times calls attention to the fact, that her Marearr's steamer Shear water and her M4JESTT'S ship Ceylon have lately been sold by private con tact; and that the purchaser was immffileilely offered a much higher price for them than be bell given. The same thing is said to have occurred In the male of her MAJESTY'S ship Bulldog. Why were not these vessels disposed of by public auction ? The waste of publics money occasioned by neglecting to ensure the obtaining the best price for them is a serious fault. We will not repeat what is mut tered at Malta about the purchasers having friends , in office. Though the Administrative Reform Amoeba= is defunct, it is not because there is so awl of an efficient body of that description. THE KING OF DUDE.

Charles Lucien Bonaparte, Prince of Canino, died yesterday, at his mansion in the Rue de Lille, of a Meow of the heart, from which he had long been suffering. lie was the eldest son of Lucien Bona parte, the only one of Napoleon's brothers who re fused a crown. He was born in l'aris on Mayl4, 1803, and woe consequently at the time of his death in his 65th year. In June, 1822, he married, at Brussels, his cousin, the Princess Zenaide-Charlotte-Julie, the only daughter of Joseph Bonaparte, King of Spain, who died in 1884, since which time the prince re mained a widower. He leaves eight children—three ism sad Ilvo daughters. His second son, born at Ram in 1828, is the Abbe Bonaparte, private secre tary to the Pope, who it was supposed till lately . . was to be created Graud Almoner of France. Three of the daughters 'are married, one to the Marquis of Roecagiuvino, anotl.er to Count Primoli, and a third to Count de Campenello. The eldest sister of the deceased prince, Letitia Bonaparte, is the wife of Mr. Wyse, formerly English ambassador in Greece. It will be remembered that the Prince of Canino was elected President of the Roman Con stituent Assembly in 184$. He was not admitted by the present Emperor to the rank of a French prince. With the exception of the short period during which he played an important part in the revolution of Rome, he meddled but little with politics. lie was an enthusiastic student of natural history, and was the author of "American Orni thology," "Observations on the State of Zoology in Europe," and several other works. The Ginette des Tribunaux says : The trial of the three Italians, Bartolotti, Tibaldt, and Orilli, Um having formed a cenapiracy to assassinate the Em poor, bee been filed for the 6th and 7th August before the Court of Maims. The judge who is to preside during the month of August, M. Van* went yeetorday to the prison MUM., and interrogated pro forme the three prisoners. As they all Ibl...declared that they had not provided themselves with advocates, he, in virtue of his office, assigned three sd vacates, M. Templier, M. Rivollet, end M. Lean, to under take their defence—the fleet-named acting for Bartulutti, the eccond for Tilmldi, and the third for Orilli. You will observe that the names of the advocates mentioned by the Gazette are not those which I re. ported yesterday. I rather think that the prisoners had at one time intended to choose counsel for them selves, but that they afterwards changed their minds. M. Vaisse, the Proeureur-General, will con duct the prosecution. The Bourse has undergone considerable fluctua tions. In the morning there was an upward ten dency, which was, however, checked by the news of a considerable fall in Consols. The Bente, after having touched litlfr. 93c., fell to 60fr. 65c., upon its being known that the Bank of France had de cided not to lower its discount this week. Them was, therefore, a fall of 15c. for account. For cash the closing price was the same as yesterday 66fr. We. Mobilier fell 2fr. 30e. The railway market was rather animated. Considerable pur chases were made of shares in the principal lines, which closed from 2fr. 30c. to sfr. higher. The Pays is informed from London that Lord Stratford de Bedell& is expected home on leave of absence. Is it intended to gratify the French em peror by announcing to him at Osborne House that the British ambassador at Constantinople is re called ? The ratificationa of the treaty of commerce be tween France and Unable were exchanged on July The r.ews of the death of Lablache which was cir culated by the Prase yesterday is authoritatively contradicted. His eon-in-law called at the Tram office today, to say that Lablache is at this moment at Kissengen, with his daughter, Madame Singer, and that ho baa derived much benefit from the waters. The Moniker publishes the official return of the price of wheat in the different markets of France, by which the tariff of bread in Faris is regulated. The highest price is 27fr. Sc. per hec tolitre, in the markets of Gray, St. Laurent, and Le Grand I..emps ; and the lowest, 23fr. 38c., in those of Metz, Verdun, Charleville, and Soissons. The average for the whole of France is 23fr. 73c., being a decline of 'fr. 41c. on the lest return. Tho Maniteur of to-day announces that M. Fould, who haa been holding ad interim the office of Minister of Finance, has relinquished it to be m ourned by M. Magne. SPAIN. MADRID, Jt Lv 29. The church will be indemnified by transfer of Con solidated Funds. M. Garrigo is the new military governor of Madrid. A service of steamers is organised between Spain aiil Cuba. ITALY. The Stafeta of Turin states that the addresses signed by the inhabitants of Forli, Ravenna, and Bologna, to their governors, have been communicated through some official channel to the Emperor of the French, in order to prove to his Majesty that the reforms demanded do not exceed the limits marked out io his letter to M. Edgar Ncy. The Gazette; del Popolo of Turin of the 26th an ' noanccs that on tbo preceding day the jury unani mously acquitted the Duke of Arens° of having ad vocated regicide in a poem composed by him on Agesilao Milano. The Italia e Papal° of Genoa says: Twenty persons arrested at Leghorn 4. being participators in the late outbreak have been released front prison ; but the 'umber of ►meets made since the 30th ult, amounts to upwards of 300, and the police still continue to arrest people oe suspicion. On the 21at they bearded ► British steamer in company with the English consul, and searched her minutely. but without moult. It appears that the government are on the alert to arrest an iodiviixal 'chow arrival they expect from day to day, Four of the persons arrested at Genoa on suspicion of being implicated in the affair of the 29th ult. were ect a liberty on the 25th inst. ; but arrests still con tinue. M. Rosolino Pilo Giveni, a Sicilian refugee, has been found dead in his apartment,. having it appears, either by mistake or wilfully, taken a double dose of a daugerous medicine prescribed by his physician. It is stated that he was implicated in the late plot. TILE PILINCIPALITIES. A Paris letter in the Nord states that the four powers, France, Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia, have not considered satisfactory the reply which the Porte has made to their note respecting the election of the Divan in Moldavia, and that, in consequence, the late election, which in their opinion tack place from electoral lists which were false, and were drawn up in a spirit contrary to the decisions of the CongreNt. of Paris, is not to be recognised as valid. Instruc tions in accordance with that view have, the letter adds, been sent to the commissioners of the above powers in the Prineipalitieo. THE HOUSE OF SAXE-COBURG AND ITS MATRIMONIAL ALLIANCES. The Debate profits by the marriage of Princess Charlotte of Belgium to draw the attention of the public to the remarkable position attained by the house of Saxe Coburg-Gotha in Europe by means of Its matrimonial alli ances. Oar contemporary believes that the result of these alliance. will be nest favourable to the influence of Eng• had, and that it will draw still closer the political tmion of Great Britain and Austria. We extract the following pu rges The King of the Belgians is a prince of the house of Sue Coburg-Goths, which has become great and power ful within a apace of thirty years. He is the uncle of Prince Albert, husband of Queen Vic toeia. The numerous children of the Queen are Coburg,. Apart from the near relationship existing between the two royal families of England and Belgium, the Queen of Eng land ie tenderly attached to King Leopold, her uncle, whom she considers with justice one of the wisest and most eminent sovereigns of Europe. The princes of the here of Coburg are destined to reign one day over Great Britain and Bel gium; but with this difference, that the Cebu:put England will preserve the protestant faith of their tatters, while the Coburge of Belgium will be catholic, like the French prim err, their mothor. This circumstance favours in a singular manner the aggrandisement of the house of Coburg. which may gamin) to any alliance. Thus the prince. of the Belgian branch marry In catholic Austria, while the eldest ruseses of the English branch Mile* herself to protestant Prussia. The time, therefore, is not far distant when Coburg* will to found everywhere in Europe, and as relations or friends of the King or Queen of England they will reflect on that nation the greatneea and power for which they are indebted to their uturierous album. At the present moment, King Leopold, who is so closely connected with the Queen ol England and the Emperor of Austria, would be an excellent intermediary for bringing about a political union between them ; and Me consummate experience and profound know ledge of the men and petition of Europe would net fail him in that task. We have stated already that Europe cannot sea with an indifferent eye the intimate alliance which is gradually being established between Austrie and Eng d. may mention that the union of those two countries in former times by no means pre judiced the interest, of Priers and Russia. On the contrary, Pruseis, pmtecled by that union, row to the rank of a great power, laid the foundation of future Aggran disement, and at present balances in the Germanic Confede ration the influence of Austria. Rumor also conquered im mense Outs, which gave her the redo of the Baltic and the Black Seam, and so powerful an influence over the German States as to lead to the belief that the equilibrium and inde pendence of Europe were menaced. Axe we to consider the family alliances of the royal house of Belgium and of the imperial hour. of Austria es a step towards the ancient alliance between England and Austria F We do not believe that such is the cane ; but we can comprehend the interest with which Europe watches the political effects of these RAILWAY ACCIDENTS IN FRANCE. As a train was, on Tuesday night last, proceeding from Chalons to Epernay, on the Examen railway, a luggage truth by some means caught are at a few kilometre' from Jalon-lneVigues, sad the rapid EnViola of the train soon fanned the the into Eames. The engine-driver and breeksman stepped the train as quickly as possible, in order to separate the bunting truck Gum the train. But the passengers in the carriages misread to the truck also saw the conftsgration, and raised loud cries. Thin caused a sort of panic, and many of the passengers, especially women and children, without wait ing toe the train to be stopped, jumped out. The burning truck 1,211 isolated from the other carriages with all passible de spatch, and the men in charge of the train then went to attend to the pamengent. They bound to their dismay that two females and two children were lying dead on the ground, and that eight or nine other peewee more or less injured were aloe lying on the line. It is believed that one of the females killM is Muse. Baulichoff, cousin of an attache of the Hamann embisoy at Paris, and that one of the children is the son of a wood merchant, named Boston ; the identity of the other dead woman end child could not be ' , ascertained. Some of the pentane injured continued their journey to Earle, and the others acre conveyed to Epernay, to which place the railwsy wanpany, informed of the accident by telegraph, at once deatiatched in en express train rime medi cal nem of Peri... After the extinction of the fire, which was accomplished without much difficulty, the train pre ceded on its way, and arrived in feria with a delay of only one hour and twenty-Eve minute.. The fire is supposed to have been caused by some combustible article in a package belonging to a pawnor, end which bad been placed in the luggage truck at Forliach, where the usual embalm made were placed on it. An accident has alm taken place on the Western line. A train of waggons filled with liallmt was the day before yes terday plated on a siding of the station of Moult Argeeore, to snow a pun up, train to Cern to pan on the main line; but by some overnight the switches of the Riding were not turned. The coneequence was that the than which came down Meetly after pawed on to the lading, and in spite of the efforts of the driver and guanle, the former of whom re• vented his steam, and the latter put on the beelike, it ran with greet violence into the balLest train; and a man named Catherine was crushed to death, whilst about twenty pas sengers in the other train were injured ; none, however, as Is stated, seriously.

Hownexacomposedtheßengalarmymay hereafter be, two things are tertian : that the number of Euro pean cams, permanently on duty, in the Native regiments, mast be increased 1 and that the number of European regiments must be largely and perma nently segmented—augmented to that point of __ . . strait h which will restore complete confidence in the witaciency and stability of our authority. A simple fact will show to what extent the Native regiments have of late years been stripped of their European °Eons. In the year 1844—and things have not greatly improved since—the Native Army was com posed of 212,300 men. To command and train this great force there were nominally 4,480 English officers. Bet of these there were absent on the General Staff, Political Service, Own Duties, &e., no fewer than 2229. There were consequently left only 2,233 English oaken to tabs charge of 212,300 native troops, and a large proportion of that number were mere boys. Substantially this is still the state of the Indian Army. Mr. Vareetre Berm indeed referred to the excel lent validities of the Irregular regiments, in each of which there are only four European officers. But the reference, unless explained, is only calculated to snake embalm waive coatounded. Formerly we had only a captain and two lieutenants in all our regiments. But that was in the days when in reality the regiments were officered and commanded by natives, when native officers felt their rank to be an elevated one, when our service was attractive to the native gentry of India. The reverse is thecae now, both in the regular cavalry and line. We have abandoned the old system of native officers, and substituted a system of European officers- But we have not given the change fair play. Either we ought to bare an effective native or an effective European staff of officers. In the Bengal army we have neither. The native Akers are nonentities, who have been swept away berate the first storm ; one half the European officers areaway from their regimemb; and one-third of those on duty are little better then mere boys taught to despise their men. The Irregular regiments, on the contrary, are a return to something like oar older system. They have freedom and prestige, and are attractive to youthful bravery and ambition, which the regular regiments are not. But no human being would pro pose to raise a native army of 230,000 men, or even, as Lord Joint RCS , ELL proposes, of 100,000 men, and divide it into irregular regiments of 1,000 men, with only four European officers in each. A few irregular regiments so constituted are of the highest value; a whole army would be a constant danger. Lard J. Ruarzu. thinks we " have had too large an army altogether.• This is true. But before we venture to reduce the Indian army, we must have previously organised and improved the Indian police. Had we availed ourselves of the muni cipal communities of India ; had we called to the aid and co-operation of oar Government the local insti tutions of India ; had we associated ourselves with local spirit, freedom, and self-protection, we should have had at small cost in the village communities themselves a cheap and effective polies system. We should thus hare simplified and improved the admi nistration of justice, have collected the revenue more easily, and moved treasure less expensively ; but we have neglected the village communities, and have so centralised in a bureaucracy, native and European, all authority and power, that we have to conduct our government without popular co-operation, and of course at a fearful rate of expenditure. Still, it is not too late to alter our system, and by an alteration which would improve, at little capsule, the police of India, we agree with Lord Joilx that the army of India might be reduced. By the completion of the railway system, too, which is in progress of eon atruction, something might be contributed towards a reduction so desirable to the exhausted finances of India. What the exact number of the reduced Army ought to be is a matter for after consideration. Already the nominal ordinary strength of European troops—a fact which seems to have escaped Lord Jour's atten tion -averages something like 50,000. By the act of 11453 the East India Company is empowered to have 20,000 European troops of their own in India, be sides 4,000 is depst in England; and their European regiments in India are, we believe, kept op to their parliamentary strength. On reference to the last Army Estimates it will be found that the Company had in their service and pay before this mutiny broke out, and before the troops withdrawn for the Crimea had been fully replaced, 26,363 Qteux's troops. Here, then, we have nearly the 60,000 European troops actually in India which Lord J. Resstu. deems necessary, and which he advocates as involving an increase of European force. To meet the present emergency, Lord PANNIAZ has already given orders which will raise that fora to 20,000 men. No man can say whether more will not yet hale to be sent; but he will be a bold minister who diminishes, at least for some years to come, that force below 70,000. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

Many Roman catholic persons of bitluence, and others whom he should not hare expected, supported hint. He considered the result as certain. On the Tuesday the town was in • most excited state. Ile heard the Roman catholic priests addressing the people from the balcony, one of whom told the people to remember how the river Boyne ran with blood, owing to the ancestors of those who then sought to hell the town. Upon this the people scnected and roared—and witness thought that it was safer to retire. Ha saw stones thrown and people attacked in the street. Stones were thrown into the ceminttlee-room, the windows broken, and the mob tried to force the door. On the nomination. day, he bad to wait for some time to get into the town house. The mob was in a tearful state. The police had to protect the party with fixed bayonets. MI of Captain Moore's party were &wailed— and witness was spat upon.

The witness proceeded to describe several acts of violence, as the throwing of Stones and breaking of windows.

Edwsrd Smith Solley, sub-inspector of polio., gore similar evidence, which was proceeding when our report left. BEVERLEY. The election committee appointed to try the validity of the return of Mr. E. Anchinuty Glover fur this borough met this morning for the first time. Mr. J. Abel Smith in the chair. The counsel for the petitioners were Mr. E. James. QC., and Mr. Washy ; and for the sitting member, Mr. Slade, Q.C., Mr. Tindal Atkinson, and Mr. Dunbar. The petition is from Mr. Abraham Wells, and alleges want of qualification on the part of the sitting member. The usual formal resolutions having been agreed to, Mr. James opened the case for the petitioner. After stating that Mr. Glover unsuccessfully contested the borough in 1842, and had also attempted Ponte fract and Canterbury city, the learned counsel proceeded to nay that on the lag election the hon. gentleman was more fortunate, as far en Beverley was concerned, and he was returned second on the poll. He (Mr. James) should, however, prove that the qualification not up by him wen utterly false, and had in fact been manu factured et the time the hon. gentleman expeted to get into parliament for Canterbury. The learned counsel then entered tato a long explanation of the personal menus of the hon. gentleman, which woo totally uninteresting to the public, and contended that intismuch as he had been diverted of all hie property by the Insolvent Court in England, and the Encumbered Editions Court in Ireland, the qualifi cation which had been set up was altogether illusory. After the counsel'a speech, some evidence was called, which was proceeding when our report left. DUBLIN (CITY.) This committee tort for the Bret time this morning, Mr. Headlam in the choir. Counsel for the petitioners Mr. E. James, Mr. M`Donafh, and Mr. Coffee (of the Irish bar); for the sitting member Mr. Slade and Mr. Rod well. Mr. James, in opening the ease, said that the petition was presented by certain electors of the city of Dub lin, and sought to render void the return of both the sitting membem, Mr. Grogan and Mr. Vance, on the ground of bribery, corrupt praciicea, and treating at the lug election. The constituency of Dublin numbered about 16,000, and a large proportion of the voters consisted of old freemen, who proved, upon this occasion, to be a very venal body. The freemen of Dub lin numbered 2,987. of whom Mr. Grogan and Mr. Vanes polled about 1,90) against 348 polled for the defeated candi dates. Mr. Reynolds, formerly s member of the house, and Mr. Brady, eon of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, were at the hot election the oppoeing candidate*, and at the clime of the election the state of the pal Wood thus:.-Grogan. 3,767; Vance, 3,711; Brady, 3,404; and Reynolds. 3,348. During the election the freemen of Dublin formed themselves into a society termed " The Protestant Freeman's Fellowship Association," which held regular meet ings, the object being to diepose of their voter,. It would be provel that Mr. Vance, on the eve of the election attended one of thew meetings and addressed the assembled voters. After detailingoomenius cases of allegedbri bery, in which the freemen were concerned. the learned comma stated that in reality thew freemen sere little better than venal paupers. Indeed come of them were actual pimple, for he should chow shot no lees than eighty-four were taken from the workhouse and employed by Moors.
