P.XOII-011:0 bristles with lack Stories." 1 ook where you will at those organs of public opinion which, in the present dispersion of the British Legis lature. ars the true and only representatives of the British people. and you will see everywhere the lame story. The youth of the middle classes are astir hem one end of the empire to the other. They want no bounty, they desire no favour, they simply ask to ►e allowed to light the battles of their coun try. Free tranniort to the seat of war, a soldier's subsistence when they get there, is the petitionary prayer olf stalwart thousands, the flower aid strength of the empire, the Weal and the bravest in the land. lust gimice at the letters which are now crowding the columns of the press, and klum from them the temper of the youth of these kingdoms. " I have no influence," writes one, " to obtain a corn " 02641011, and for lack of means cannot purchase ono N nor pay my passage to India.

" Let the " bounty remain for the present," writes a third, " and let the nation, if it is in want of troops for active service, 0(1114 the ojera if the frilling:. Can patriotism possibly utter a nobler, a sincerer, or more touching appeal ? What is the response of Authority ? It is the old heart-wearying story of official formalism and chill ing rejection. "Letters scr.t to the War-office," says one of the writers referred to, " are of no avail "if offering service. I myself received an answer " this morning, that Government had no occasion " for my minims; and I am only one of a legion who " receive the same answer for want of influence at " the Hone Onsrda." And yet these same Autho rities find at this very time so much difficulty in filling the ranks of the Line that they are being feat driven upon the expedients of at once wasting the resources of the nation by increasing the scale of the bounty, and humbling its pride by inviting the aid of alien mercenaries. Surely there must be at last a limit _ . . . to the patient endurance of such suicidal folly as this. Surely Lord PILNERIrros, who ham never been slow to appreciate the signs of the times and the feel ing of the people, mast see that the hour has come for interfering with the high hand—for insisting that some immediate step be taken towards enlisting, in the military service of the country, the generous ardour of the most valuable military class of the community. We are told that a commencement has already been made—that the services of some 600 volunteers from Sheffield have been already accepted. We trust it may be so, but the isolated acceptance of isolated offers is no adequate return to the general feeling of the country. We want a collective act, an authori tative public declaration that Government is pre pared, on conditions specified, to accept tenders of voluntary service in the East. The pretext that such a declaration would interfere with recruiting for the Line is utterly untenable; for those who would alone be affected by it are precisely the clan with whom the Recruiting Sergeant never by any chance comes into contact, and never will. It is very instructive to note the manner in which enlistment in the Line is spoken of, not only by the volunteers thernselees, but by those whose function it is to give a summary of their case, " They are of a " rank," rays the Time., " which would not permit " them to enlist as common soldiers." " They " would be quite content with any admission into the 0 army that slid out socially siegrad• Mem." What a truth, but whit a satire! la it possible that our contemporary does not see in this state of thine the most (occlusive condemnation of the present system of managing the British Army ? It is come to this, that the youth of the middle and lower middling ranks throughout the country cannot enlist in the ranks of that Army without " social " degradation." Such are the results of that System' which has nothing to refuse to money, nothing to grant except to money ; which draws a golf pcacti ally inipamable between the Ranks and the Mesa. room, and prefers a force composed of patricians ' who rite by the purse, and proletarians who never rise at all, to a noble and national institution which reflects every phase of the Society it is estab lished to &feud, where all ranks find a place, where every avenue to advancement is thrown open, and the highest honours are within the reach of the highest desert. Of all the strongholds of Routine this Pur chase System in the Army is the one that will be defended the most obstinately. The Fits %admixes arc entrenched there in force, and they will hold their owe to the last drop and the last pap. Rut it will have to go nevertheless. There sre mutineers in the camp. Some of the best and ►bled of those trained up in the System itself h►ve turned against it. Like other fictions and follies of the past, like the Rotten Boroughs and the Bread Tax, it carries its doom within it—the doom inevitable to every human institution that is opposed to Justice and to Reason, to the growth of Society and the ureds of the Time. It bu got THE EXPRESS, WEDS :,,,:Di thss far already : it has rendered it imperials for the moat valuable amain the British community to enlist in the ranks of the British Army without incurring what the most widely circulated of British journals not untruly characterises as "social degradation:* It is impossible to go far beyond that ; • Sys tem which has brought mitten to that pass is System which stands self-condemned.

What the Authorities have to do is to declare their readiness to accept the free " offers of the willing, instead of subsidising by increased bounties the services of the reluctant, or going beyond the limits of the United Kingdom to find Mercenaries, when within those limits they can raise, at ler ant, an array of Volunteers.

Mania was such as to cause uneasiness to his friends, I was far from anticipating that it would be so soon my painful duty to an nounce his death. As correspondent of the Daily Newt, to which he was a frequent contributor, I enjoyed the hosour of his personal acquaint ance. I was about to caU on him this very day at his modest lodging in the I Rue Blanche, when 1 heard that he had I breathed his last at four o'clock this morning. A disease of the heart is stated to have been the sense of his death. Ile was only fifty-three years of age. In him the Republican party in Europe has lost its most practical champion. Others may be in reality as honest and sincere, but none among the fallen leaders of the great movement of 1848, stood forth before the world so pure in purpose as Daniel Martin. his defence of Venice, when throw ing off the barrister's gown, he assumed the com mand of the patriot force, and inspired his followers with confidence, will be recorded as one of the most heroic acts in history.: The Courrier de Paris says of him:—" We will speak to-morrow of this man. one of the greatest of our age—of this man, who was the hope of Italy, and whose death is a caus e for universal mourning." Menin will be buried on Thursday. The funeral service will be performed at Trinity Chapel, in the Rue de Clichy. A letter from Stuttgardt, in the Nord of Brussels, gives sonic precise details concerning the approach ing meeting of the Emperors: The Emperor Napoleon is to arrive hero on the 25th in the afternoon, the Emperor Alexander having preceded him a little. Tho Emperor Napoleon is to occupy apartments in the Kings palace, as are oleo Count Walewski and the other personages of his Majesty'. suite. The Emperor Almond. is to lodge in the villa of the Prince. Royal, at the gates of the city, on the reed toCanetatt, and Prince Gortchakoff, Mi- Later of Foreign Affairs of linen., in the old chateau near the palace. The Emperor Napoleon, on the day of his arrival, is to dine with the King. The Emperor Alezauder, on the someday, is to dine at the villa of the Princess Royal. The plasm is afterwards to give a ewe , * toe very small party, which the King and the Emperor Napoleon sre to attend. It is there that the drat interview of the two Emperors will take place. If I am well informed, this interview will haven., edam witneseas then the King and the Princess.

Sales to clutch profits after the sudden rise of the end of last week continue to predominate. A discount of 875 :flobilier and 150 Orleans shares was posted up, but had little effect. The Bente fell Vie. for cash and 15e. for account, closing at 80fr. 95e. Mobilier fell 35fr. Notwithstanding a report that important financial measures calculated to ease the market were on the tapir, and amongst others an order from government that no fresh railway obliga tions should be issued for three years to come, the railway market was very heavy. Orleans fell 121 r. 50e.; Northern, sfr.; Eastern, 22fr. SOc.; Lyons, 10tr.; Southern, I2G. 50c.; and Western, 12fr. 50e. An important failure in the corn market to the ex tent of a million of francs is announced to-day. A Madras letter of August 11, communicated to the Pays, states that the town was tranquil at that date, and that the Governor had published a procla mation to re-assure the inhabitants, who bad been greatly alarmed by the events in Bengal. The pro clamation had produced a good effect. A letter from Madagascar in the /More der lo Loire, affirms that Queen Ranavalo had, subse quently to the last mail of August 9, ordered all Europeans to leave the Madagascar coast. A letter from Tangiers of the 12th states that the Emperor of Morocco has chosen for his successor the son who is now Governor of Tafilet. The governors of provinces have been officially informed of this settlement of the dynasty. The trial of Carpentier, late chief cashier of the Northern Railway Company; Orellet, deputy cashier; Guerin, a clerk in the employment of the company; and Pared, a dealer iu horses—aceased of having plundered the company of cash and secu rities to a large amount, commenced to-day, before the Court of Amine of the Seine. The prosecution is conducted by the Attorney-General Barbier. The jury having been sworn, the bill of indictment (ode d'orcusation) was read by the registrar. The exa mination of the prisoners then commenced, and was proceeding at the hour of post. PARIS, MONDLT ETE/11110. The Df bats offers the following sensible rejoinder to certain continental journals which affect to hold cheap the resources of England, and her ability to maintain a protracted military struggle : Those who ban their calculation on the probable ex haustion of the military resources of England appear to forget that England is, after all, a nation of IS million molds, and that her military organisation, however defective it may be, permitted her to concentrate mon than 30,000 roan under the wells of Sebastopol. Why also should not be takes into Doomed the anneal disposition of a nation which has in all times adapted its •Burt. to the difficulties it has to urenome —which may be beam, and generally Is beaten, at the com mencement of its wan, but which is randy discouraged. and which gains in strength ea the struggle continue I' England already agitated by the bad news from India, ►nd we shall soon see offers made from all parts of the kingdom similar to that of the inhabitant, of Sheffield. Without pretending to dive into the future, we csunot admit that a nation gifted with such resources and such energy can be diffinitively beaten by an insurrection of Asiatics, who have learnt the art of war in its pay, but who have not yet been able to erns, than manes, whom they surprised while unarmed sad disperred. " We learn," says the Coefrrier du Harr., " that a tender for the line of steam packets between Havre and New York has been sent to the Minister of Fi nance by MM. Iselin and Colley St. Paul.

The first subject to which the Finance Minister intends to call the attention of the Cortes is the budget of 1868, which will contain important ame• liorstions. Oficial intelligence hu been received of the ac ceptance by the Mexican Government of the prof fered mediation of England and France in the quarrel between Mexico and Spain. The conference for the settlement of this matter is to be held in London. . . . . It is not yet known who will be the plenipotentia ries appointed, but it is presumed that Senor Lafra gua will represent Mexico, he being completely as courant of the affair, which he has followed from the commencement.

Royal decrees in the Madrid Gazette of the 17th dissolve the Royal Council of Public Instruction, re organise it in accordance with the existing law, and appoint M.

Another royal decree makes the Pa triarch of the Indies a knight of the first clam of the order of Charity, for his servioes as President of the Charitable Janis of Galicia. The Prince of Orange was visiting the curiosities of the capital, and he had received the diplomatic body, the minizters, and the high dignitaries of State. SWITZERLAND. The news from Berne is serious. In the sitting of Friday, the 18th, the Federal Council resolved to send two commissioners to the Canton de Vaud, with instructions to enforce the execution of the federal decrees concerning the Oren railway line. This grave measure was taken immediately on the receipt of the denpatch announcing that the Council of State of the Canton de Vaud appealed to the Grand Coun cil upon the conflict between the Federal Council and itself. The commiasioners appointed are the Federal Colonels Stehlin, of Bale, and Kurz, of Berne. Their mission is to give direct orders to the Communes to make the surveys in case the authorities of Vaud shall persist in their refusal. They arc also authorized to rent further time if they think fit. This decision of the Federal Council has produced a great sensation at Lausanne. The Nouvel lists Vaudois states that Colonel F. Veillon, who was appointed by the authorities of Berne to pro ceed to the camp at Chalons, resigned this man date as soon as he heard that the two commissioners had been sent to Lausanne. The Suisse believes that M. Fornerod, the President of the Confedera tion, has protested against the vote of the Federal Council. The Nourelliste raudois, the organ of the Canton of Vaud, has a very violent article against the coercive measure. A letter from Berne of the 19th says :—" The period for which the deputies of the National As sembly were elected having expired new elections will take place in October. These elections will di - cide the policy of the Confederation in 1658 60. It is believed that the radical party, from the popula rity of their conduct in the Neufchatel affair, will gain a large majority ; the conservatives, in fact, count so confidently on a defeat that in some can tons they will not present candidates at all, and in others will join the liberals. The ltoman catholic' will gain but few votes." PORTUGAL. LISBON, Barr. 14. The canvass for the election of 22 deputies to fill up the seats vacant in the representative chamber is taking place, and the 20th natant is appointed for taking the votes. The Cirilisacao, an organ of the Progressistas, has suspended its publication, I believe in consequence of difference of opinion among its chief supporters, induced by topics apropos of the elections. Judge Halliburton, the well-known humorist, in company with Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M.P., is at pre sent sojourning in this capital. It is said that the Governor of the Portuguese colony of Goa tuns written to his government ask ing reinforcements, and pointing out the necessity of placing the colony in a good state of defence dur ing the prevalence of disturbances in Bntiah India. General Conceiro, formerly Governor of the Inland of Madeira, and who so greatly distinguished him self at the time the cholera was raging there, has been appointed Minister for the War Department, a post which has hitherto been filled ad interim by the Viscount de SL No now Minister of Justice has yet been named, and it is not likely that anyone will be placed in charge of this portfolio until the pending question of the Concordat has been finally ratified by his Holiness. Dom Pedro V. has conferred upon Admiral Behrens, who was here a short time ago in command of a Russian squadron, the insignia of the ancient and noble order of the Tower and Sword, of valour, loyalty, and merit. Several of the officers were also decorated with the lower grades of the same order. This has been done as a tribute to the services rendered by the Russians on the occasion of the fire in the Rutido Almada, at which they ren dered praiseworthy assistance.

SWEDEN AM) NORWAY. Advices from Stockholm of the 17th inst. state that the Norwegian Storthing !accepted without opposition the proposal to nominate the Crown Pnnee of Sweden Regent during the King'. illness. The Committee of the Swedish Parliament recom mended the proposal to the parliament with a majo• rity of 18 votes to S. TUSCANY. A letter from Florence, in the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, says:—" Fears are entertained of new dis turbances at Leghorn. The garrison is constantly on the qui vire, se a rumour is current that the 17th in fixed upm for a fresh attempt. The number of persons that are to be tried amounts to about 70 ; they are nearly all confined in the citadel of Pisa, but it is not known when the trial is to take place." AUSTRIA. Advice' from Vienna state that the reports that were there current to the effect that the Austrian government intended to raise a loan of 160,000,000 florins, and to issue Treasury Bills to the IMMO amount, have been contradicted. RUSSIA. It in stated in a telegraphic despatch from litrnigs berg, dated the 21st, that letters had been received by a commercial house in that city from Russia stating that the commission for the emancipation of the peasants had adopted the following resolutions: The emancipation is to take place at three auccesaire periods; ems to be occupied with preparatory measures; the second with the executive measures; and the thief with the definitive armagenseuts, to be confirmed by law. Is a mani festo hoes the Emperor, the landowners will be in vited to mese to en arrangement with their peasants illative to the emancipation of the latter. The can wade between the owners and the pennants mast cen tain these three clauses —" 1. The land appropriated to each peasant to be firmed on the payment of rent must be mtll eiont kw his enetence, and for that of his family. 2. The pedants must undertake not to leave, at least for the pre- sent, the lands they now occupy. 3. The payment of the tams due to the State must be guaranteed." The other classes of the amusement are to be left to the free will of the contracting parties. The Cologne Gazette mentions that a fortress of the first class is to be built on Mount Mithridatee, near }Latch, for the purpose of protecting the entrance to Yenikale. Engineers have already arrived on the spot, from St. Petersburg, b carry out the project, the cost of which is estimated at 12,000,000 silver roubles. PRUSSIA.

News unimportant. DIRECT HAMBURGAND LUBECK RAILWAY. HAMBURG, SEPT% 20. To the great surprise of the public, authentic in telligence has been received here that the Hanish government has granted a concession for the con struction of a direct railroad from Hamburg to Lubeck through the territory of Holstein. Such of your mercantile readers as can look back for thirty years may remember that at that period, and long before any one of the 200 railroads that now form a network over the surface of Germany was com pleted, or even projected, not only was this line sur veyed and the plans sod estimates made, but the capital was all subscribed (wily in England), and the company was in all respects formed. The Danish government of that day, however, could not be per suaded of the advantage of facilitating mercantile and personal intercourse, and refused to grant the concession in such peremptory and decided terms that the undertaking was considered as permanently shelved, and the company dissolved itself in cause- quence. Times, however, havealtered, and Danish views have undergone a material change, and it is no more than fair to confess that of late, and especially since the formation of the present cabinet at Copenhagen, the Danes have become to a great degree converts to the doctrine of free trade, as much from their natural tendency to keep up with the spirit of the age, as that they find it necessary for their material welfare and pecuniary interests. Since the fall of that great monument of feudal policy the Sound Dues, every public set of the Danish government has been in the direction of an extension of commercial intercourse and though the land transit dues are still retained, the amount levied (one penny per five cwt.) is so ridiculously small that it must be evident that it cannot near pay the expense of collecting, and is only kept up for statistical purposes and as a measure of control. But now, if I am rightly informed, the Danish govern ment are prepared to go a step further, and to de clare their adhesion to the principle of the total abolition of all transit dues, as a burthen upon commerce. It is to the exertions of our sister city of Lubeck that the credit of obtaining the Danish concession for the direct railroad to Hamburg is due, and their Bargerschaft is convened for an extraordinary meet ing to-morrow to accept a confidential proposal on the part of the Senate, but which has transpired to be the ratification of the treaty with Denmark on the subject of the new direct railroad to Hamburg. When this railroad is completed a great deal of the carrying trade between England and the Baltic must necessarily return into the earlier channel in which it flowed for many centuries, and which helped so much to advance the ancient Hanseatic cities of Hamburg and Lubeck to their high stand ing in the commercial world. As all the original plans and tracings are in exis tence, it only remain, to adapt the estimated ex penses to the prices of labour and materials in the present day ; and as there are no material engineer ing difficulties to overcome on the line, it is intended to have the whole work completed and open to the public in less than a year from the date of the con tracts. The distance between the two cities will then be accomplished in less than an hour and a half. WATER-SPOUTS AND GREAT LOSS OP LIFE. The Arad Gazelie mentions that a water-spout burst over Maria-Radus, a place of resort for pilgrims near Arad, on the 13th of September. tip to the 15th seventeen bodies were dirrovered and buried, and several others ere missing. There was a report that from 70 to 100 persons were lust, but this required confirmation. Many horses and booth, belonging to the mall traders were swept away. A German t had two handsome horses., which he had Pe only a few days before for 1,000 florins, swept away, and then in despair at his lees threw htmself into the ftod and wee drowned. Another velar-spout beret over Arnsi, in the Val d' And, on the 10th. The lass of human life has been thirty, as ascertained by the authorities, up to the present time, but it is feared that many more have been sacrificed. The damage done is estimated at 500,000 francs. One whole family were swept away, and nut a soul was I:ft to tell the tale. On the 17th ult. a terrible hail-storm occurred at Marina —the Lail-stonee weighing from four to sin pounds each. They broke through the roofs, killed men and animals, and did considerable damage.

This day, at noon, the usual quarterly general Court of Proprietors of the East ladle Company was held et the India House, Leedeohell-street, Mr. It. C. MANULLE. M.P., Chairman of the Court of Directors, presiding. Tib, usual formal business having boon gone through, Mr. Deer asked whether the Court of Directors, in their °Skid capacity, intended to contribute to the relief fund Mr. M. LEWIN did not think they had a right to aak We directors to subscribe to the fund in their official cap.- city. There was another more important question, which was whether the company were not bound to make up the loss to the sufferers? He thought it w as " • the duty of every government to protect ita temente ; • - • • • by the dictates of common sense., if not of the ordinary law, gommumet wee bound to make up the baste sustained by individuals under such circumstances as these. (Heer.) The CHAIRMAN, in answer to Mr. Dent, said the court had not come to ;ny definite resolution the enbject. The question of Mr. Loerin was • vary large one, and of the greatest importance. It had arisen from a state of circum stances to which the history of the world probably afforded no precise parallel. It must be deteriained generally, he took it, by the law of nation" and by the uni versal rule applied in cases as nearly parallel u could be discovered. There was • cue some what similar in English history, that of the rebel lion in 1746. What the court had done in this matter wan this, it had written to the government in India to take care that nobody was allowed to perish, and that no cue of destitution within reach should pass unprovided for. The care end attention of the government in such matters was not to be confined to the servants of the company, but was to be extended to all clause. (Cheer.) With regard to the military servants of the company, the court of directors considered that the widows and orphans o ofilcers who bad fallen victims to this frightful military mutiny would be entitled to the Kama pensions as if they were placed on what was called the compaulonate allowance fund, pensions which were granted to widows and orphans of the officers who had fallen in adios. (Bear, hem.) Mr. Dean regre tted that there should be any delay in a . . . natter of this kind. As soon se it was intimated to her Majesty that such a fund wu being raised en answer was received by telegraph from Balmoral, that her Majesty and the Prince Consort would subscribe. The precedents were numerous. There were the French inundations, the Irish limier, and various other occasions on which subscriptions bad been been made, and surely the Indian mutinies was a subject which required little or no deliberation. It was one upon which he should have conceived there would scaredy have been • differenoe of opinions. If it was necessary to refer to "Mr. Smith, of Cannon-row," there was • telegraph, and they should have received at once an answer by it. Would there be any ob jection to lay before the court an extract from the dispatch to which the chairman had alluded? The Cum lima?, said he could give the hon. proprietor no answer but that he had already given as to the subscription. Thera could be no objection to giving an extract from the despatch. Mr. JONFA suggested that the directors should forego their annual feast, which usually coat from 3,4001 to 4,0001., and that they should apply that amount in aid of the sufferers. If they determined upon abstaining from feasting for live years, they might add to the subscription 20,000!. (Hear.) This was not • time for feasting. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said the hon. proprietor need not he alarmed upon that point as the court of directors would live no annual dinner this year. (Hear, hem.) Dr. Hearne thought the view taken by Mr. Lewin was the proper one. It would be quite out of the question for the court to contribute as • court; but they might do an individually. The CHAIRMAN observed that the greatest MO should be taken to prevent private liberality being damped. There were many who would refuse to subscribe if they could say that government would make good all looms. It wan im possible that government could mach all cams, and be could not conceive a nobler opportunity than this for individual charity. (Hear, hear.) Mr. JONES then rose on a motion of which he had given notice, whereupon if,. BROWN said he had hoped the motion would not be persevered with; if it were he should inure that the court do adjourn. Mr. JUNTA said he knew the hon, proprietor could pre vent his bringing the motion forward ; but it stood first, and until it war disposed of he would take cars that no other motion was diacumed. His motion war.—" That it is due to the advancing intelligence of the people of India that • deputy from each presidency be maintained at the public expense in this country, with • view to inform the proprietors as to the complaints and wishes of the people of India." lie was glad that India had at hat forced itself into public notice. Proprietors who had attended these meetings, had foretold that a day would come when there would be rebellion in that country. Annexation after annexation had been the cause of these mutinies. Annexa tion was not the mere dethroning of a king, and the substitu tion of another government; it was the dislocation of society. Annexation had been the cause, and a sufficient cause, *of the outrages that had been committed. (Cries of " Oh.") Thera was nothing on earth, or in tall, that could justify the atrocities that Nana Sahib had committed; but it should be remembered that the government had deprived him of the Peishwarri to which he had • right. (No, no.) Mr. BROWN said he mud now exercise his right. He moved that the court do now adjourn. The CHAIRMAN then put the question, and there being only seventeen proprietors present (the number required to constitute • court bring twenty) declared the court ad journed.

The boat's mast was broken in the centre, and consequently she could not have been upset by a Morn'. He believed the Kid dent hod been caused by the boat corning in contact with ono of the flukes of hoe. anchor, by which mane her bottom had been stove in, and she tilled and sunk. This was only a snppoeition, made from the fact of the boat bring et plant lying on her anchor.
