Ile Al%mom Via LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 7. 11Daroe from the seat of mutinous war in India cut once more a shade of grief and gloom over the coon try's heart. The but-beloved of all her gallant sou has rank at last into the grave. HavaLocx—the in trepid, indefatigable soldier—the calm and clear-eyed chief, the generous and self-forgetting friend of the helpless, the humble, and the weak—the bout of I.:s men, and the pride of his race—he upon whose features men most wished to look when, as we hoped, he would return home to enjoy his honours and rewards—HA VELOCK is no more. He has fallen, not by the traitor sward of deserters from the standard he would never lower or furl, but by the same fate that has struck down so many of our best and braved 012411 cheeses, brought on by exhaustion of body sad too long protracted anxiety of mind. The fey equanimity amid km sad disaster, amid struggle and uisertainty, amid immature vietory and incomplete moms, which the noble-hearted leader felt it to be essential to show, has east us dear. The ►lade ham at length worn away the scabbard. He who relieved others from impending death disdained to be himself relieved from its menace; and the deliverer of thousands would not seek deliverance for himself from the equally pitiless and inexorable pestilence that walks in darkling and haunts the camp of those who have seesped the danger. of the battle day. Since the news reached England of the death of Sir loan NOORZ, the announcement of no British soldier's km ham been calculated to cause deeper or more genuine emotion than that which it i onr painful duty this day to record. That the departed General should not have lived to learn the manner in which his eminent eer ices had been appreciated by his country, is the least part of our regrets. We mourn and blush to think bow short the acknowledgments, in sere respects, fell of what was due; and we deplore— not for his sake, but for our own—that they elsoild have been so tardily accorded. To him it maims not. He sleeps well; no madness of mutiny Of infirmity of support in its resultant*, or thought of danger and dishonour to the young and fair who looked to him for help, or manly sorrow at the sufferings he could not avert. sae trouble his spirit further. For him the wicked have now ceased from troubling, and his wearied wayworn spirit is at rest. We have also news of a severe check sustained by the brigade under General WINDIIIIII, near Cawnpore. From the electric brevity of the information that has reached us we can only venture to infer that, mimed as to the strength of the Owalior mutineers, the General, who had succeeded in wifely forwarding the women and children southward, on their way to Allahabad, preferred to attack the enemy in the open field to awaiting them within the oft taken and retaken town, and that with this view he had advanced some dis tance from the city, when he was assailed by overwhelming numbers, and compelled, after a sharp conflict, to fall back. We are told of the Ices of his tents, but not of the capture by the insurgents of any of his guns ; and we may assume, we think, that, although his corps appears to have suffered severely—especially the 84th Regiment of Foot—he succeeded in making good his retreat with out bather molestation. Upon learning, at Xack now of the temporary reverse, the CONXAXDrs-nr- Cntre hastened at once to succour his lieutenant sad retrieve his lose ; and this he apparently succeeded in doing so rapidly and thoroughly, that we as. told the Gwalior rebels were attacked and routed a few days later, and that the whole of their maga zines, stores, and sixteen pieces of artillery were captured. While thus the onward flow of the current of victory is at interr►. checked by unlooked-for obstacle', its destined course remains unaltered. The end indeed is not yet; but it is clearly in sight and cannot now be distant. Tux mods of missionary action hitherto adopted In various heathen countries independent of oar sway is that to which we ought to adhere in India. Oar missions have been conducted, not by Government, but by associations of private indivi duals. The missionary agents have entered heathen lands where our power is enfelt and commenced their operations, ukiag for nothing more than tole. mice at the hands of the rulers. As they have laid claims to no minicnlove powers, the sincerity of their converts is, under such circumstances, open to no suspicion. No cue whom they addressed could have any motive to profess Christianity, except a rinser* conviction. Christianity then disseminated mast work for good, inasmuch as the raver% will be real, not mere nominal, Christians. T 4 same process must be pu r s u ed is I n dia if wish to make real converts of the natives. In India the manse nation which sends the mission aries appoints the civil and military authorities. If these authorities take von them to seek by favour or intimidation to win professing converts to their own national faith, from that moment we an no loner be certain of the sincerity of conversions ; we shall be much more likely to multiply cowardly, am bitious, or avaricious liars, than spiritual Christians. This is a result to be dreaded beyond any other. The putrescence of the finest and noblest °reeler tions is the most deadly and disgusting of all. The mere outward profession of Christianity as a cloak for indulgence of the most irregular, selfish, end hurtful desires is were* than the most ignorant Paganism. It warms men in their evil propensities, rendering them ineradicable. It confirms the hos tility of the unconverted, who naturally believe those men to be Christians who call themselves such, and judge of their so-called Christianity by its fruits. These appear to be simple, self-evident truths, and yet it is especially necessary at this moment to bring them prominently forward. The very fervour with which the cause of Missions is at present advocated is apt to impel men to questionable modes of pro moting their great object. When the pardons we roused we are ever liable to overleap the impedimenta which abstract rearm or justice imposes. In our eagerness to attain our ends, we neglect to scrutinise the means closely. Men often do, in the head of blood, with the best intention, things whisk they afterwards regret and blame themselvee It would be invidious to refer to individual oases; but no man can have read, calmly and deliberately in his closet, some of the speeches recently delivered at missionary meetings, without feeling that we ought at this moment to be especially as Olt pad against temptations to do evil that good =sr 4•••• In these circumstances it is cheering to reflect an dm monad principles announced by many of the mud experienced and intelligent labourers in the ae• rosary vineyard. At the public meeting reported in oar yesterday's issue, the Rev. Mr. Siam, a Bengal missionary, said truly and wisely : " He did " not ask the Government to pay the missionaries, • or to print the Bible, or to take any active step to " propagate Christianity. They might give India better • kw* and an improved system of government if • they could ; but, in regard to religion, all he asked • was that Christianity should be allowed to Mend upon the same footing of equality u HindooUn, and those false and idolatrous systems which the " Government now fostered and encouraged. Let 1 , 411 have fair play, and Christianity would • hiumph." Mr. MARIIIMAN, who is hereditarily knsedated with the cause of Missions in India, spoke k the same strain :—" Let there bs honed a eespse " pensive proclamation, announcing to the people et " India the religious principle upon whichthe Govern " meat of that country was hereafter tots, senikeied, " which should inform the natives that we are a " Christian people, governed by Christian primal " ples, and shall continue to be so governed; that " these principles will guide us in the government " of their country, bat that while we profess Chris " dimity we allow every man to follow what religion "he pleases." And the Rev. W. CHALXIIIII M. lowed this up by "repudiating the notion that =we " bishops were needed for India. All that was se " (piled was to leave the Church free to do her own " work without State interference. . . . They " did not seek to make converts by force, or by the " bribery of patronage, bat by conscientious convict.- " tion." These are sound principles, and if they are adhered to by the Mends of Missions, the pre sent re-kindling of missionary zeal must work powerfully for good in India.

Its proceedings were characterised in many respects by great bigotry and intolerance ; nothing but the Dutch language is to be admitted. The state of Kaffirland continued to be very un settled. The people were starving. About 30,000 destitute Kaffir, had been brought in se ser vants to the colonists; generally speaking, they were excellent agricultural servants, but many had shown restleesnew and aversion to labour. Some of the chiefs had been tried and imprisoned for stealing cattle. The subject of railways engaged a great deal of attention in the colony. The first batch of Irish emigrant females had arrived ab East London by the Lady Kennaway. The Lord Bishop of Cape Town left in the ship Granger foe Bt. Helen's, on the 18th of November. After a stay of about two months there, he was to proceed to England. The Dane landed her mails here. Her arrival was five days before she was due. _ _ _ The colonial authorities were actively purchasing horses for India, and several ship los& 'had been sent on. Sir George Grey wu about to visit the frontier, leaving Cape Town in a few days in the Himalaya. The Hersalia, Ireland, Great Britain, Calcutta, and Southampton troop.ehips had arrived, en ►oute to India. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom ova own conisarownairr.) PARIS, WIDNESDAY Evasuro. The great topic of the hoar continues to be the Spectorwr'a article. M. Rolfe of the Comeaw . tionnel, who now that M. Oranier de Cassagnao has taken to literary criticism, is the greatest gun in the arsenal of the government putts, replies to it at great length, and takes issue upon every point. The most striking pert of his article is the following passage, which confesses (rhetorical artifices apart) that the cause of the union of the Principalities is lost in spite of the support of France, and represents that Lord Stratford de Radcliffe was recalled from Con stantinople because he made himself disagreeable to the French : As to the question of the Principalities, which the Spots tear regard. as at this moment settled contrary to French ideas, that journal is again in the wrong. This question is not so far advanced. France thought the union of these provinces was the best orpniaation both for their own wel fare and the general Interest of Europe, and at the epoch of the Treaty ef Paris that opinion was shared by the majority of the Powers. There has ethos been • change of opinion on the part of some at them ; bat the Emperor's government has not changed its opinion ; and without departing from the spirit of conciliation which has never mod to guide in policy, it will to the last defend in the ocaferana the principle of the anion, the advan tages of which ft still thinks are evident. We know as well as the Siisciatnir that France has met with many petty Annoyances at Constantinople. But to what have they all led ? The diplomatist, so osishested for his talents, whose peculiarities of temper had produced these disamsaions, is no longer at Constantinople; that we think is not a &moseys eni which can in any way prejudicially affect the dignity of France. It is • mistake to see either victories or defeats for our policy in the frequent ministerial changs which have occurred at Constanithople. The representative of the Empem's government than has been instructed not to enter into those personal questions in which others haws been too much in the habit et taking pest If that be isolation," we thick that it does honour to the policy of France instead of degrading it. The Speciateur sticks to its text, and profanes to be quite astonished at the tone in which the Pays and Patric contradict its assertions, and mays that, so far from 'apposing that it was making any unlooked for revelations in its retrospective review of the events of 1867, it had thought that it was simply commenting upon facts which were in substance known to everybody, Al evidence of a close under standing between England and Austria, it adduces the fact that, in the affairs of Bolgrad, the first Mol davian elections, and the union of the Principalities, these two Powers maintained a common and precon certed policy. It then says: . . . As to the pnotcool which, sorting to our inforreatkm, was signed at Vienna about the middle of hat year--in June le said—we have not the document before our eyes; we have sot read It, sad as only speak of it, as we have already done, with a certain reserve. Bat is the Petrie very mire of Its own information when it deities the existence of a positive alliance--a written political engagement—between England and Austria ? For ourselves, such is the confidence we have in the source bum which our Information proceeds, that we persist In believing that, whether as a protocol, menexten dem, exchange of notes, or by whatever other name it may be called, the eagegetnant does exist. • • • • For the test, our article will be read at Vienna, in Germany, sad in England; the faets stated in it will be inquired into sad dis cussed. In a few days the Sneak& parliament will 'meet, and Mr. Thrall, whit one* before compelled Lard Palmer ston to admit that be had acquiesced in a convention which was not without some analogy to the arrangement we have spoken el—Mr. Disraeli, who is generally pretty well in tensed of what is going on in Europe, will no doubt mak for and obtain some explanations about the new Whence. of England. Should it then turn out that we have been ads taken, we shall admit the fact in all humility. Till then we maintain all we have said. In support of its assertions. the Speetatesw quotes correspondence in the New Pruesian Gazette, the Tines, and the French Journal of Frankfort—all of which speak, not indeed of the particular pro tocol in question, but of an intimate understanding between England and Austria. The evening government journals reply to the reiterated statements of the Spectateur with great spirit. The Pays says: We oasis's that the imposing authorities cited produce little effect upon us. The only thing we collect from them is that the information of the Spsetateur reduces itself to some extracts from foreign journals, cleverly arranged and dressed up in • theatrical way. En attendant some fresh declaration on the part of the Prussian Grown', and • ro mantic harangue from Hr. Disraeli, we 'purely and ;simply maintain our contradiction. The Pattie tenets the Spectatsur with its affec. tation in pretending that it did not suppose that it was making any remarkable revelation, while in reality it felt that it was circulating a report which would make an "immense sensation in Europe," as is plainly shown by its bosat that its article will be read in Vienna, Germany, and England. It calla upon the Spectateur to say what is the " nature " of the information in which it has so much confidence. The statement of the Indepenciance'Belge that the French admiral in the Chinese waters has received orders not to co-operate with the English forces in the siege of Canton, is energetically denied in offi• cial circles here. The Bourse has been very firm, notwithstanding a heavy fell in Consols, which was attributed to a report that Sir Colin Campbell had withdrawn from Lucknow. The Bente, although occasionally put down by sales to realise profita,was very firm at the close, in consequence of a rumour that the Bank of France would to-morrow lower its discount to 4i per cent. Bank of France shares rose in come queues, of the: rumour 100 fr. The Rents for so- count rose 43c., closing at 70fr. 36c., and for cash 36c., closing at 62fr. 86c. Mobilier roes 7fr. 60e. The railways were extremely firm. Orleans rose 20fr.; Eastern, 13fr. ; Northern and Lyons, 10fr. ; Western, Mr.; and Southern, 2fr. 60c. The Emperor, although not seriously ill, for he drove himself in a phaeton about the streets of Paris two days ago, has some temporary affection which prevents him walking easily. He was seen yesterday in the reserved garden of the Tuileries, leaning on the arm of an attendant and limping very much. Lord Stratford de Rodcliffe arrived at Brussels yesterday. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. We have received the Adelaide Observer to Sep tember 26, *Cal which we kern that South Australis, like the province of Victoria, hes experienced a ministerial crisis. A dispute between the Legislative Council and the Aasembis upon a questionot privilege, in the latter pert of August, on casioned the Migration of the ministry of Yr. Finis, which was rucoMiled for two or three days by a cabinet formed by Mt. Baker, and this administration was not allowed time to Mate Its policy, but was overthrown oa the 26th of August by • direct vote of no confidence, the majority being 24 to 7 against it. The Governor, Sir B. M'Donnell, then sent for Mr. IL Torres., the mover of the resolution, who formed a ministry se [tallow. : Chief Secretary Mr. Tomato Attorney-General Treanor Conneledoser of Palk Work. Mr. Davenport. Commissioner of Crown Lends The Torrens Ministry, however, had also fallen, in Ito tura, at the date of oar latest Information, in consequence of • resolution passed by the Assembly, on the minion of Mr. Hanson, censuring the conduct of the government with regard to the waste lands. It seems that the old Waite Lends Act is no longer in force in the colony. having died out with the pmehmation of the new methadon. Mr. Ta mes advised tits Governor to rescind end revoke the rules and regulatkas for granting pastoral leases framed under its His Excellency acted under Mr. Torrens' advice In a procla mation of the Bth of September, while the Legislative Aa. man* nag not in session. We take from the Adehdde journal the following statement of the unpopular parts of the ministerial scheme : " But from the Imality or non-legality of the of the old rules and regulations, we turn to Mr. T waste lands policy, and this we declare to be in the highest degree objectionable. South Australia ad to the north of Adelaide. Now, stretching away to the fee north, there are from 20 to 90 millions of acre. of rich and well-watered pasture-land already discovered, sad etutounoemeste of fresh discoveries are being made shame daily. To stock these twenty to thirty millions of mesas is beyond the power of the present occupants of crown hob in this province. They have neither ishee4 bares ., nor Weis for the p urport.. But our Victorian are both able and willing to do this, if they get bite • satis factory tonere. Nay, more, of the 4,300,000 saes already applied for, two-thirds of the applicants are said to be from the other aide. These applicants, moreover, declare their readiness, the moment their lease* are granted, to put their flocks and herds In motion, and to cast in their lot among us. mid others, it to mid, will speedily follow them. Our pontioa, therefore, ' compering great things with small,' is that ef the owner of a large number of unoccupied mansions—or mat, and naturally rich, but unimproved eitatee—end for each of which there it a whole host of eager and eligible ap plicants; but, by advising his Excellency to line his MI mete lands proclamation, Mr. Tonne has meshed the whole of the notices ' To Le,' and has well-nigh mend , all the applicants away. What Mr. Terrine to do, is more than the squatter,ever expected to hare o r s or even now desire. Fifteen millions five hundred eheorad sores of crown lands are already lamed to the equalises et 10e. or thereabouts per square mile, and these ere to be left in undisturbed possession of their Imam, on the prised terms, and without be in g called upon to contribute one far. thing mere toned. the burdens of the state. Appliance. have been made for about 4,600,000 scree more, sad to these the same privileges and immunities are to be emorded. But the monstrous part of Mr. Torrence' Johan Is that contained in his proposal to dispose of the west. hods of the mown in future upon an unaltered tenure, that la. altered, not es to the duration of the leases, but as to the rental per Nome mile. At present the average is under 11a, but all future applicants are to be charged 16a., 20.., and 265. respectively, and whether the discoverers of new mins or not, they are to be subjected to the competition of a pat& notion." The question before the Assembly, however tamed— ant, upon the legality or illegality of the ac t; and se. cos*, upon the right of the executive to impose upon themselves the fonottuns of the legialature, however urgent the circumstance might be, and by one sweeping proclama tion subvert the very erne of constitutional government. 11r. Hanson moved, on the 28rd of September, that the Go vernor-in-Chiles proelematka of the Bth inst., rescinding and revoking the late mks end regulations for granting leases of the wade lands of the crown is, in the epknion of the Home of Assembly, unwarranted and illegal. This was car ried bye majority of 17 to 14, and the Torrent,' ministry next day resigned. All sorts of rumours are afloat as to the con stitution of the Hanson ministry, but nothing hes yet been decided on. This, however, is what wet understand Mr. Hanson proposes : Mr. }lnnis, Chief Secretary ; Mr. Hen son, Attorney-General, and also Premier; Mr. ..1117. nolds, Treasurer; Mr. Blyth, Commissioner of Crow* Lands; Mr. Dammed, Commissioner of Public Works; The lets treasurer made his ensnedal statement ea the 22nd. The estimated revenue for 1858 is 475,9904, inclodieg a balance of 61,9991. aanniag from 1867. This lease 421,0001. as the net expected meows of 1868. But the actual revenue received during the twelve mouths ending 31st of August, 1067, was 452,8611. ; this also beim; irrespective of Wawa. * The tressurer thus predicts a !Obi off is the realms of neat year innovating to 31,6614 This saddpstsl loss to the TIMMS did not seem to effect the stincipel item, of proposed disbursement, the most nodashle hams of which are the increased amount set down for setabliihmsat charges, and the diminished sum proposed for public improve. manta Taking the whole of the astablishmemts for 18$, the sigmas sum asked for is 188,8121., agahsst 171,6731., the total sod final votes for 1867. The sum proposed to be set apart for main roads during 1868 Is 70,0001. ; sad the minutest* • given in aid of district councils, &c., is put down at 36,0001. The sum of 16,0001. is all that is set apart for other %wove. meats under the head of " Public Works; " but under the heed of " Miscellaneous Services" we find a proposed grout of 6,200/. to the Trinity Board, and a grant of 1,6004 ts the Botanical Gardens. The subsidy for steam postal DM. munication is entered at 16,0001., and for the istrochutka of immigrants from the United Kingdom the sum 0[60,0004 is put down. This budget, however, as well as the other meanies of the Torre= Ministry, would probably be superseded by their successors.
