Ax unusual number of candidates are in the field for the representation of Reigate. The proximity of thb thriving and intelligent little town to the me- 1 tropolis seems, oddly enough, to constitute its pecu- liar attraction, in the eyes of gentlemen of inexpe- rienced parliamentary ambition. With one excep- tion all the competitors whose names have been hitherto mentioned are those of individuals who, whatever be their other qualifications for a seat in the House of Commons, are unable to boast of any previous services in that assembly. The ex-mei:i- -ll ! ber for Lambeth alone has any previous perform. ances in the way of voting to appeal to; but to judge from his address he appears to do so somewhat gingerly, and to think it more philosophic to recall the divisions in which his biographer will find him supporting the abolition of the paper duty, or some other incontestably sound and unimportant measure —rather than the rare occasions on which he mus- tered courage to plunge momentarily into the 4 un- of f icial lobby, with Ballotases or the advocates of thorough-going Reform. For the rest, we need only say that there is a voice for every inflection of the verb " confide." " Confide in me," says the Honour- able Mr. Monson, "for I am Lard MoNsox's son, . " and may Lad is the owner of Gatton•park ; in ad- " &nice to which I am ready to vote for any " Reform Bill Lord PALAU/TON may introduce ; " and that practically is likely to leave things " pretty much as they are." "Confide in me," says Mr. EDWIN CIIADWICK, the apostle of centralisation, " and I will undertake with untiring I " zeal the labour of rendering the bureaucracy " of this country more efficient and enlightened than " that of Prussia or of France. I will further i " engage to put down all noise and bustle at elm- " bona, by persuading Parliament to adopt in coun- t 1 " ties and boroughs my system of voting by means t " of signed papers collected by the polio. from home . .. " to house, instead of by personal attendance at ,1 i I " the poll." " Confide in Colonel P %futon," say his old and attached friends, " because he was, after " all, the man who in bad times first led the way to " the opening of the borough, and who would have " been returned at the last election but for the " unlooked-for competition of the late mem- " " her." " Confide in Sir Ilx:IIT RAWLINSON," say many who supported him In the con- test of last March against Mr. HACIEBLOCK, as the abler and the better man, and who now re- double their urgency in his behalf upon the ground of his familiarity officially acquired with East India affairs, since his appointment as one of the Crown nominees at the Board of Directors, and because of the prevalent expectation that his name will appear amongst those who are designed to figure in the i proposed Directorate in the forthcoming Ministerial • IRill. "Confide in me," says Mr. DOULTON, "for I " mean what I say, and say what I mean ; and " I tell you plainly I think the present state " of the Parliamentary representation won't do any I " longer; that we ought to go in for a thorough " change both as to franchise and the liberty to use "it as we like ; and that with regard to India we " shall need to look very sharp that we are not " lured into a patronage trap of surpriaing climen- " alone, and out of which, when once we are caught "in it, there will be no escape." We must give Mr. DOULTON credit for having been the first since the announcement of the Government scheme for the endowment of Downing -street with the revenues of the East, to raise the question in an ad- dress to a popular constituency—broadly, fairly, and on its substantive merits. There is indeed something of generality or vagueness about the phraseology employed ; but this in such a don- t ment is excusable, if not neesseary. We trust, how- , r ever, that a man of practical tern of mind like Mr. DOULTON will not leave the matter obscure, but that he will follow the instinct that has so far led him right to its legitimate conclusions. Whatever may be the course pursued by indivi- duals in power or out of power, in Parliament or at the hustings, our duty on the impending question is clear, and we trust we shall not be found wanting in its performance. A gigantic project is on foot for grasping and appropriating to the use of the Court and the privileged classes, already too full fed, the whole patronage of South- ern Asin. By a calculation recently made, in a very careful and elaborate article in the Westsmnster Review, it appears that the amount of money raised by taxation in India, and regularly paid to Europeans in different / capacities, civil and military, for the share in the go- 1 vernment of that vast Dependency, is not much under . • Ten Millions a year ! This is the stake Lord PAL- MS/470N and lard CLINRICARDE are about playing I for. And who are they playing against? Against the middle classes of the community, by whose ad- venture, toil, risk, labour, and blood, the splendid i fabric of our Eastern dominion has been I slowly and steadily reared, sustained, and kept unto this day.

Or if, to save appearances at first, some openings should be left through which an entrance may still be had to their patrimonial pos session, they would soon find their progress barred by some impassable barrier beyond which lay all that was really worth obtaining; and when, too late for a return to the previous state of things, notice would be posted up—" No admission here !" It will not do to tell the people of this country, whose children it is intended to exclude for the bene fitof honourable and hungry hangers-on, that already we have seen the system of competitive examination introduced by the Company, and that when the Treasury is substituted for Leadenhall-street com petitive examination will be still the rule. This is an affair of entrance upon such offices as them of junior clerkships, of civil and military cadetships, and so forth. But what guarantee can we have that all the promotions worth having, all distinc tions worth obtaining, all the great trusts and cow -1 laments to which Company's servants now inevitably rise, will not, if this change be submitted to, be jobbed to the Tottemacses, HowARDS, and CLAN itickwits, in India as elsewhere? It is but the other day that a show of fairness in the Artillery and En gineers was made by the War-Office. The sous of all were to be suffered to compete equally for commis alone; and people began to prepare their children for competition by the requisite training. But already, it seems, faith is broken with the public in this matter. "'Already an attempt is being made to revive nomination by the Horse Guards. Competi tive examination under a Secretary of State is proved to be a mere delusion and a snare. Let the Constituencies look to it in time ; and let them take care that no man enters the House of Commons who is not pledged to vote against any Bill that would give over the lucrative and potential patronage of India to the Minister of the day. INDIA. -;.- The following despatch wu forwarded to ns at an early hour this morning from the East India House ,' CALCUTTA, Du. 10, 1867. " The Commander-in-Chid having relieved the Lucknow garrison, returned to Oawnpore with the women, the wounded, and the state prisoners, 23 lace of rupees, and the King's jewels i also, all the pas worth taking away. Sir James Outram had been left with a strong division at Alumbagh, in the vicinity of Lucknow. All the women and children from Lucknow, and moat of the wounded, have safely reached Allahabad. " On the 26th, General Windham attacked and routed the first division of the Owalior Contingent, 3,000 in number, which had arrived near Cawnpore, after craning the Junin* at Calpee, taking all their guns except one light field-piece. " On the 27th November, the main body of the Owalior Contingent entered the civil station of Cawnpore and burnt down the • of three of our regiments. They were repulsed with severe loss in an attack they made on our entrenchments on the 28th November. The Rifles captured two of their 18-pounders. " The 64th Regiment suffered severely. " Brigadier Wilson was killed. Sir Colin Camp bell reached Cawnpore on the evening of the 28th of November. He despatched the women and wounded towards Allahabad on the 3rd of December, and on the 6th he attacked and completely routed the Gwalior Contingent, pursuing them for 14 miles along the Calpee road, and capturing their camp, 16 guns, and an immense quantity of ammunition, park stores, grain, bullocks, &0., with all their baggage. Our loss was insignificant. General Hope Grant pursued the fugitives of the Gwalior Contingent, and came op with them as they were beginning to cross their guns over the Ganges at Sera Ghent. He attacked and totally routed them, cap turing 16 guns, and all their stores and ammunition, without himself losing a man. " Sir Henry Havelock died on the 26th of No vember. " The Jannpore frontier having been threatened by a large body of rebels, Colonel Longden fell back on Jaunpore. He was immediately reinforoed by Euro pean troops. This had a great effect; and, up to the Bth of December, all was quiet on the frontier. Colonel Franks has been appointed to command the troops there. " The Rewah troops have twice defeated the Myhere rebel,,: capturing the forts of Kunohynpore and Zorah. " Mehidpore was attacked by rebels on the Bth of November. The Contingent behaved badly, and their officers were forced to escape. The rebels captured all the guns, and plundered the canton: mut. They were, however, pursued by a portion of the Hyderabad Contingent Cavalry, under Major Orr, and, on the 12th of November, were cut up, after an obstinate fight, leaving a hundred dead on the field. All the guns and plunder were retaken. " Colonel Durand, with the column from Mhow, advanced on Mundesore on the 23rd of November. The rebels were attacked and defeated with heavy loss. Five of their guns were captured. Neemuch, which was threatened by these men, has thus been relieved, and the remnant of the insurgents, who still hold the fort of Mundesore, are much dispirited. Killed—Lieutenant Redmayne, her Majesty's 14th Dragoons. Wounded—Lieutenants James, Martin, and Prendergast. " CairrsooNo.—The detachment of the 34th N.I. mutinied on the 18th of November, released the prisoners, and plundered the Treasury. They have fled towards Bylhet. No lives have been lost. On hearing of the Chittagong mutiny, it was determined to disarm the three companies of the 3rd Native Infantry, stationed at Dacca. They resisted, but were overpowered, and fled towards Jelpigorie, the head quarters of their regiment, leaving 80 killed. Three sailors were killed. A detachment of the 73rd Native Infantry, with 60 Goorkhu and 80 Irregular Caviar', have marched to intercept the mutineers from Duos. The troopers fled during the night, but were fired upon by the rest of the party. The Europeans from Barjeelhing (?), with three guns, have been sent to Jelpigorie. Europeans have also been sent from Calcutta to Chittagong and Dacca. " Two thousand seven hundred and four men from England have arrived since the last mail." • 11legible• The following telegram wee received at the India House at 11.32 a.m., Jan. 11 : TRIESTE, MONDAY, 6.45 A.M.

SPEXCH OF THE WHEN. AND DIUTIAZ 1111.102.1.P1.) (71,011 001 oww MADRID, JAw. 10. The Royal Speech on opening the session of the Spanish Cortes is of great length. The birth of the Prince of Asturias (says her Majesty) dissipates vain illusions ; that Prinoo " will find love for his people in his heart, his name will suggest to him the glorious paths followed by his ancestors; and my cour eels will inculcate the most inviolable respect for the constitution and accepted laws." The media tion of France and England in the affair of Mexico is instanced as a proof of the spirit of conciliation which animate' the ministry. Whatever the result, the honour and reputation of the Spanish people will rest intact. The speech farther treats of intended measures of compensation for the sale of the church lands, for the improvement of the navy, great public works and railways, territorial institutions, credit, the dignity of the senatorship to be hereditary in great families, and changes in the electoral law, and the law of the press. Extraordinary credits will be avoided, and the Cortes are urged to vote the budget of 1869 this session if possible. ITALY. SPECIAL ALLIANCE ALLIANCE BETWEEN ENGLAND AND AUSTRIA. (mow ova owx col TURIN, JAL 8. I am now obliged to go back, and refer again to that treaty between your government and Austria, which I have mentioned to you more than once, and which has been alluded to within the last few days by the Spectateur, of Paris. I think I may say that you have frequently had proof, by the event itself, that my statements and information are derived from a good source ; and I now repeat to you that, notwith standing the denials of the Globe, I have but too much reason for insisting upon the assertion of the existence of that treaty which is said to have been concluded and signed on the 6th of July last year. But upon the word "concluded," some equivocation may be set up, for I believe I know that although the bases and principles of the treaty, drawn up in four articles, hsve been accepted and concluded, the mode and conditions of their application are still to be deter mined. English public opinion may yet, therefore, interfere in time, and turn away your foreign policy from a course which I regard as disastrous to the liberty of the nations, while it is unprofitable, and, above all, inglorious to the British empire. Does it not seem to you exceedingly strange that what was not done three years ago in the Eastern war, namely, to assure Austria her Italian possessions, should be done by England now, in the midst of complete peace, and after having experienced, in that same war, at once the disloyalty and the impotence of Austria? Nevertheless, so it is, notwithstanding the oral denials of Lord Clarendon, which I reported to you now some months ago. The text of the treaty conveys a formal assurance to that effect, and there is likewise added an article of which the intention seems to be to preclude all direct intervention of any other power in the affairs of the Lombardo-Venetian territory, with an allusion, which is but too manifest, to France. Austria, with an appetite which, u the proverb says, will increase by feeding, demanded moreover an express guarantee of the existence and permanence of all the other Italian States and of their dynasties, which appeared to your government to be rather too much. These particulars are not in the Speetateur, but you may receive them as certain. However, I do not believe in what lis added by that journal, namely, that Prus sia and Russia had been invited to give their adhesion to the treaty, but that Russia excused her self, alleging that she was now thinking of her own internal affairs, and did not wish to pledge herself to anything beyond what she is obliged to by exist ing treaties. It is not to be supposed that Lord Palmerston and his colleagues would have , been so imprudent as to renew, with a little difference of form, the Holy Alliance, placing France ander the neceseity of emerging, at whatever cost, from the solitude into which they would have driven her, and countermining the menace which woald be impli citly contained in such a Quadvuple League. But taking things just as they are, and looking at this fact of a special alliance between England and Austria, I know not how such an alliance can seem to the solid good sense of Britain to be a wise and profitable one. In the first place, such an alliance compromises most seriously her friendship and union with the French empire, and prostrates the liberal policy initiated by the Congress of Perim. In the second place, where is the gain that England derives from it P Such an alliance is timeless in time of peace, or rather it is injurious, for the reasons stated. And what is it in time of war ? Then it will be worse than ever. Austria, as has been proved a thousand times, is competent to her own defence, and to main taining intact her own armed neutrality. But to an offensive war she is inadequate, being gnawed at inwardly by the worm of the aversion, more or less latent, of two-thirds of her own subjects, who will never let slip any opportunity of vindicating their liberties. England is, it cannot be denied, a most powerful ally ; but that she can prevent France from openly aiding Piedmont, invading Lombardy, and driving the Austrians out of it, seems scarcely a credible thing, especially as the whole of Italy, rising in favour of Piedmont, would cause a very serious diversion in favour of the war on the Po. And who will come to the aid of Austria ? Russia, it will perhaps be said. For the present, the most and best that could be hoped for from her is neutrality ; and the same may be maid of Prussia. Assuredly, we may repeat, England is at the present day governed by an antiquated and obstinate system of diplomacy, which refuses and will not choose to recognise the new and bolder paths upon which she ought to enter. In the meantime, here is Piedmont betrayed in her national aspirations, and deprived of every means of exerting a beneficial in fluence on the other Italian States. Austria, with the new treaty in her hand, becomes again mistress of the destinies of this peninsula. No friendship has been dearer to Piedmont than that of England, but what is Piedmont to do now P She must of necessity throw herself into the arms of France ; and France perceives this, and multiplies her caresses. The Emperor has expressly declared to Marquis Villa marina that he was very highly satisfied with the " order of the day " adopted by our Chamber, whereby a censure was passed on the moral coercion exercised by the clergy in the late elections, and whereby, in the best possible manner, a preliminary step was taken to the holding of a parliamen tary inquiry. " Your tribune," as the French Minister, La Tour d'Auvergne, yesterday said, " Your tribune and your forma of government are now somewhat discordant with those which rule France; but the Emperor acknowledges that it is needful either to maintain them alive and unim paired, or to see the Austrian policy prevail through ! oat all Italy." These words, which are not less true than candid and honest, have caused a great im pulsion here. But I cannot reconcile myself to the thought that the first friend of Italy is not to be England ; and if your diplomacy forsakes us, the English people will remain faithful to us. In no country so much as in England is the saying true, that opinion is the queen of the world ; certainly public opinion is queen of the British world, and to her do the Italians appeal. An important question has been under discussion in our Chamber for the lut two days. It is whether the 98th article of our electoral law does or don not take from the canons of the cathedral churches the right to become deputies. The most distinguished part in this discussion has fallen to the Deputy Cas taldetti, an advocate of much repute and very con versant with ecclesiastical law ; he has decided for the exclusion of the canons. There seems to be no doubt the majority will share the same opinion ; the result will be known this evening. For the rest I can but repeat what I intimated in my last, that the party of the Right is greatly dis concerted, and has no longer any hope of victory. No eminent speaker has entered the chamber be! longing to that party 4 the prints are eilhorillhmt at read their spesebeer the Count dl Outbid , - moo recites his from memory, with the tone and aoosnt of a preaching friar, though he succeeds, it cannot be denied, in canting a scandal, and yesterday he was called to order by the Presi dent. The Debate, in an article of doabtfal eigain canoe, has taken to consoling the droloosia and its followers, under the assumption that what is con. tended for by the latter journal is the right of the ' clergy to interfere in any way in the elections. But the Dibats, with its characteristic sufesance, has set itself to canning a tilt against windmills ; for it seems to imagine that there is awish here to exclude the clergy altogether from legitimate action in the elections, and to prohibit the employment in any case of their proper authority and influence. Thi s is not the idea either of the government or of the liberal party. Est modus in rebus ; and no one will pretend that the clergy more than any other class of citizens are to abuse their rightful functions, or that their spiritual arms, which were made for the conflicts of the spirit, should be employed for worldly interests and ambitions. A. In the sitting of the Bth, the election of the Canon ktarongiu, of &nazi, was annulled by 83 Totes against 60 ; but it is understood that the gene nal question of the eligibility of canons will be form ally brought forward at a future period.

MADAGASCAR. The friends of humanity and religion throughout England will be shocked, as well as grieved, to learn that the last mail brings tidings of another fearful persecution of the Christiana in Madagascar. This last persecution, which followed the expulsion of a number of Frenchmen from the capital in July last, seems to be more severs than any by which it had been preceded. Thirteen persons had been put to death ; between 60 and 60 had been subjected to the ordeal of the tangena, or poison water, under which eight had died ; nearly 60 were bound in chains, of whom two had died; while a number more had been reduced to slavery. The severity of the persecution rendering communication from the sufferers exceed ingly perilous, few particulars have as yet been re ceived. The French and other foreign traders have not been molested in their commercial pursuits on the coast at Court. WINDSOR, Jan. 11.

Her remains arrived in Paris on Saturday evening, under the oars of her brother and sister, M. Raphael and Madlle. Sarah Felix. Madlle. Sarah states that the exact time of her death was Sunday, January 3, at midnight. She was sensible to the last. She died with her hands grasped by her sister, and the Jewish rabbi, who, assisted by six Israelites and two women, was reciting by her bedside the prayer for the dying. She herself, it is mid, followed the prayer, and died with the utmost resignation. The corpse was brought to the apartment which Madlle. occu pied (after she left her mansion in the Rue Tendon) in the Place Royale, better known as the Place des Vosges. It would be interesting to know the reason that could have induced Madlle. Rachel to take a lodging in this quarter of the city. The Place des Vosges has probably been seen by compa ratively few Englishmen. Its situation, near the Bastille, but oat of any greatly frequented thoroughfare, is equally remote from the fashionable quarters of the Faubourg St. Honors: and the Fau bourg St. Germain. Nevertheless it contains some of the finest houses in Paris; a piazza late that of Covent Garden runs round three sides of it, and, although the word "square" has been lately intro duced into the French language, the Place des Vosges is the only place in this metropolis that a Londoner would admit to be a real square. It is near the (burlier du Mavais, where a good many Jews live. This square was crowded at an early hour this morning by perilous anxious to see the. funeral cortege of the great actress. The ceremonies observed at the house were strictly Jewish. There was no "lying in state," although many persons were admitted to see the body. The coffin was not exposed at the door, as is the catholic custom. Two women watched it from the time of its arrival, and recited prayers pursuant to the the Jewish rite. At twelve o'clock the coffin was placed in a hearse drawn by six horses. Three crowns (one of gold,one of laurels, and one of cypress) were placed upon the' Wan. The pall bearem were Baron Taylor, M. Alexandre Dumas, the elder, and MM. Maquet and Oeftivy, of the Theatre Francais. The chief mourners were her eldest son, M.

The spot is very near the tomb of Abelard and Heloiae. The Bourse opened with some buoyancy, and a discount of 1,000 Mobilier shares being posted up, the security advanced rapidly. Sales to realise profits were, however, pressed late in the day, and with the exception of Mobilier—which, after rising 60fr., closed with a rise of 40fr.--all descriptions of securities left off at lower prices. The Rente fell 10fr. for account, closing at 70fr. 30c. The Lyons Railway fell 16fr., and most of the other lines 10fr. It is remarked that the decree prolonging the delegated powers of the Prince of Prussia contains an expression which was not originally used—" full delegation "—and although the Prince, in his re script, professes an intention to act upon the same principles which have hitherto guided him, it is thought atßerlin that the change of language above noticed cannot be accidental. General Lamoriciere and his wife most be at this moment is Paris, as they left Brussels for Fromm on Sunday. General Changarnier accompanied them to the frontier. Madame Malkin will play Marie Stuart at the Opera on Thursday, the 14th, for the benefit of M. Mongol, the singer, who takes his farewell of the stage on that day.

CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA. MEETING AT EXETER DAY.) This morning a special general meeting of the Church Missionary Society was held in Exeter Hell, for the purpose of taking steps to increase missionary operations tat India. The meeting was very crowded, the body dike balk the platform, and the galleries were all occupied, but Ike audience in the body of the hall was composed principally of ladles. The chair was taken by his trace the Archbishop of C./armies:ay ' supported by the Bishop of London, th e Bishop of Norwi ch,ch, the Bishop of Wincheeter, Bishop Carr, of Bombay, the Earl of Chichester, the Hon. A Kinnsied, M.P., Lord Henry Choltnondeley,lion. Ceptainlfaude,Hon, S. 8.. Cam, Dean of Wells, the Rev. Cases Woodhouse, ands large body of the clergy of his gesonprovince. The proceedings wen opened with prayer by the Bev. W. Hewer who, at the conclusion of his intruestka of th e Divine blessing, reed part of the 28th chapter oeleakh. His Grace the Aaciesumoe then proceeded to open the =mediate business of the meeting. He said be should have hesitated taking the chair in the premed of the Earl of Chichester, the prekket of the society, but this was not an ordinary but a special meeting, and be had concerned to take the chelt at the urgent request of the committee. Some years ego he relinquished all share in the active operations of the society; but them were emergencies that overturned ordinary rale% and the present wee one of them. The recent tranaredees in India were such as to make it the duty of all who ha[ the canes of his country sad his Saviour at kart s to exert himself in behalf of Christianity. Them beam dons were too deeply =graven on the hearts of the people Is need recapitulation ; there was reason, however, to been that these disseters bad been sent as a judgment far em' asp feet dee heathen ; happily, they had aroused the ember to a sense of its responsibilities, and there was now an in creased desire to enlighten the darkness of the Hindu and Mahontedan, and to bring them to a lmowlege of that salva tion which it had pleased a merciful Providence to bestow upon us. The sufferings of our Christian oountrymen and countrywomen in Indies like those of bygone ages of dark ness, might prove the forerunner of en extession of Chris tianity in India. He felt somewhat 001111MIld I. this by whale saw before him.

For it wee by means we should attempt to assail the idolatry by station of India ; it was not by force that we could bep is prevail over the Hlndoo and to bring him within the Her dour of God. The Hindu and the Mahoutedan sought to propagate his religion by ere and sword ; but Ch%llies valued no conversions that were the result of force or mew pulsion. What the country desired to see was not the fuel cation of the national faith by . any undue exercise of imp. dal authority, and whatever might be the Mare govenmme of India, we should not invoke its power in behalf of ear religion ; we should simply demand fair play far it (Cheers.)
