A DOUBLE NUMBER of the EXPRESS will be published TO-MORROW. MIKA the various assertions Or insinuations which have recently appeared in certain ministerial journal to the effect that exaggerated anticipations Mae beat formed of the amount of change com prehsaded is the new India Bill, the public will bonny be glowed to learn that in the measure white Lord PALXIMETON is this evening to rtCOM- Mend to the favourable consideration of Parliament, are involved not merely changes in name and changes in form, but an entire subversion of all those principles which have hitherto been the very life of our system of Indian government. That system, doubtless, has its defects : but there are certain constitutional checks in which reside the elements of safety—safety both to the De pendency and to the parent State. But all these checks are DOW to be removed. There be to be an Indian Minister, with a Council or Board appointed by the Crown, or, in other were, by himself. This Council is to be composed of sight Members—not, as was originally intended, from among the present Court of Directors, but, nadir certain conditions of qualification, from the comas pity at large. The conditions, we believe, are that the nominee shall have been a Member of the Court of Directoes, or shall have resided for a certain number of years in India. The Members of the Council are to be appointed, in the first instance, generally for four, six, eight, or ten years; and, as subsequent vacancies arise, fora fixed period of eight years. They are to enjoy a salary of 1,0001. a year; and the patronage of all that portion of the army which is not transferred to the immediate and inde pendent guardianship of the Horse Guards is to be confided to their hands. In return for this conceinion of individual patron age, the Council, u a body, are to be deprived of the moat important of the privileges powered by the Court of Directors, namely, the nomination of the Members of the Indian Councils and the right of re calling an obnoxious Governor-General. The Mem bers of the Council of India are henceforth, if the Bill be carried, to be nominated by the Governor- General of India ; and the Members of the minor Councils, in the same way, by the very persons whom they were originally appointed to check. As regards the appointment of the Governor-General and the minor Go vernors, this is to rest absolutely with the Crown. And several important miscellaneous ap pointments—in the Marine, the Legal, and other Departments, at present in the hands of the Court of Directors---are to be transferred to the Crown or to the Crown nominees at the head of the Governments in India. The relations between the Indian Minister and his Council, and the precise definition of their respec tive powers, have not, perhaps, as yet been laid down or determined by the Government. In general terms, however, it may be stated that the Bill pro poses to render the Minister absolute in everything but in matters of Finance. In this department it is necessary that his measures should have the con currence of four Members of Council. In one very important point—probably because the framers of the Bill had no knowledge of its importance—the revelations of this evening will, we believe, be de fective. It will not appear whether the initiation of the administrative business of the Hams Govern ment of India will rest with the Minister or with the CounciL But it appesn to us that in its real practical bearing upon the efficiency of the adminie tration this is too important a matter to be left to subsequent arrangement. We do not, however, purpose, at the present time, to enter into any detailed criticism of the provisions of the proposed Bill. We simply desire to call public attention to the dangerom encroachments of the Crown. In the existing " Double Government" of India there is an Imperial element; and there is what may be described, in a limited sense, as a popular element. The majority of the Court of Di rectors are elected by a Constituency ; and the body so elected, standing between the Crown Minister and the people of India, is en essential check upon the Smarr. Again, if we regard the system of govern ment in India, we see a Governor-Gensral,, or a Go vernor appointed virtually by the Crown, checked by a Council appointed by the Court of Directors. In England and in India, therefore, there are inde pendent bodies, performing important functions, not appointed by the Crown, and not bound in any way to support its de:isions. We are of opinion that upon the maint. nonce of these independent bodies the safety of our Indian Empire depends. But it is now proposed to sweep them away. It is now pro- posed to make the Councils, both in England and in India, the nominees and dependents, if possible the tools, of the Minister of the day. This is not merely a change in the name and in Use femme, the government of India; it is, we emphatically relpett, an utter subversion of the principle to which w• ewe the very existence of our power in India. Ileace forth, if this Bill be oarritd, there will be nothing between India and the Minister of the day, or, i n other words, between India and a Parliamentary fi THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12, 1858. mejerity. "If we ever km India," laid Lard Miesvrt.ez, "it will be lost in the Housed Om " real." Is this change, then, to be utilized—is this danger to be incurred P Are all the old consti tutional checks to be swept away—without know ledge, without consideration, without even a befitting sense of the gravity of the question, the magnitude of the risk, the solemnity of the occuion P Is Parliament prepared to legisl►te on so great a 4 1 11 . 46 ° 12 ? — reParid, blindly sad ignorantly, to pin itself to the skirts of • rash Minister, who, milled by • temporary ebullition of what he believed to be popular opinion, committed himself to a measure, of the significance of which he had no just conception, and which he has not now the courage to recall. We denounce the measure se one pregnant with danger —as one which must inevitably loosen this bonds by which we hold our Indian Empire. Truly, indeed, is it observed by Mir MAarirtesu, in an admirable army, just published, on the " Future Government of India," that; "if " we hastily decide that India shall be a Crown Colony, ruled directly and entirely from England, • *weeding to existing British notions and habits of " Colonial Government, we shall lose India speedily, " disgracefully, and so dimatrously that the event " will be one of the most conspicuous calamities in " the history of nations." Is this grave question, then, to be decided without knowledge, without inquiry —in haste, in darkness, in confusion ? LIMERICK ELECTION. 0111011 ova LIMERICK, TEIILIDAY Remmte.

THE TRIAL OF THE ENGLISH ENGIN IN THE KINGDOM OF NAPLES. SALERNO, Fin. 6. The trial, for the last two or three days, has not contained any points of such interest ss during the first day, though it has been important to English men from the examination of Park and Watt. On Thursday . morning Watt did not make his appearance a gain, nor could anything induce him to leave the prison. Medical men, therefore, were sent for to decide as to his competency and hat of three other prisoners to appear in court. Alter three hours' delay the " professori were found, and re ceiving their instructions, set off for the prison. In another hour they returned, and reported that Watt exhibited symptoms of mental aberration, . yet that u their examination had only been rief, they recommended a fuller examination. Domenico Stru lase, another of the absentees, had been left behind to watch over Watt. The chief keeper was of opi nion that force could not be used without the chance of producing great excuses. The other two were suffering only from temporary illness. The Grand Court, atter retiring for some time, decided on their return that five medical men should examine Watt, and declare whether he is competent to appear any more. Until the consultation took place all proceedings were suspended, and the bug new of the day thus terminated. On Friday morning, the British Acting-Consul, Mr. Barber, and Mr. Roskelly came up from Naples, in consequence of a telegraphic despatch which was sent to them immediately after the decision of the curt. Watt's companions tell me that his manner now is always very peculiar. He sleep but little, rises in the middle of the night and eats largely; imagines that he sees scaffolds being erected; in short, the poor fellow's mind seems quite broken down by anxiety and a long imprisonment: for which 1 must confess that up to this moment I have not heard the shadow of a pretence of reason. At 12 o'clock on Friday, Feb. 6, the Acting- Consul and Mr. Roskelly met the five Salerno me dical gentlemen in the chambers attached to the court. Watt, who had behaved with some violence, on force being used by a companion to bring him down, had at length been persuaded to accompany an inspector of police quietly. His manner was that of extreme nervousness, and Us amoral were all indicative of aberration of intellect. He saw figures and heard strange expressions in the court, which no one else either heard or saw. It was not con sistent with his dignity, he said, to appear in court. " Why not ?" he was asked. " Oh, you know," he answered. "No, we don't," they said to him. " Why, then," he replied, " it is useless for me to ex plain. You know better than I do." "Is there any reason," he was then asked, " which should prevent heyour appearance rather than Park's?" "No," said , and acknowledged that there was no reason. "Then, why," he was again asked, "should you find a difficulty?" To this he persisted in replying, " Yon know better than I." In fact, there was a complete confusion of ideas in the poor fellow's mind, and there was no doubt in the minds of all as sembled as to the real state of the case. Neverthe less, in so delicate a matter, it was stated by the medical men that they desired to see him again, and the same evening was fixed on for the visit. Before reporting the rerun of that visit, let me beg every Englishman who reads this to recall all the incidents connected with the arrest and impri sonment of Watt and Park, and then wonder, if he can, what caused his aberration of mind. Decoyed ' on shore, manacled, stripped naked, and their shirts lifted up before &jeering crowd of persons present— then confined for ei months without being permitted to see their consul, though therein not a word in the Neapolitan code which prohibits it—brought to trial after having been in prison since the 28th June last, in opposition to a high opinion that the case ought not to go on against them—such are some of the facts connected with their cue. Had they been the Hon. Mr. Noodle and Sir William Nincompoop would the matter have been taken eo quietly? and will the British public allow two of their country men, even though only engineers, to be ruined with im Th ni e typu ma P tter mod not rest where it is, for it is abundantly apparent as the case proceeds that there never was evidence sufficient to justify their being sent to trial. " But every one knows , said a Nes preissetani " that it is not the fault of those ' fantocoi,' as judges ; they act as they are directed by superior authority." In the course of Friday evening Mr. Roskelly, to gether with the five medical men of Salerno, and ac companied by the acting-consul, Mr. Barber, again visited Watt in his priaon. I may may that their opinion was unchanged • bat they lave appointed Sunday evining for anot h er interview before giving their final opinion. The British public' will, therefore, probably hear in the coarse of a few days that their countryman Watt, against whom no evidence worth a straw ex ists, after having been the inmate of a Neapolitan prison sines June last, is the inmate of an asylum. Is this a question to be pooh-poohsd—to be smoothed over with soft words, or set aside with a joke P An Indian telegram will be doe in England from Kilts on Sunday nowt, with sows from Bombay up to dio Sith nit.

BANK OF FRANCE. arr statiumrs AND Isms' TZIAGILLTZ.) PARIS, Pszpwr Mouraro. The Moniteur publishes the monthly returns of the Bank of France to yesterday, Feb.ll. We give the most important items, with the centeponding figures of last month en regard :: Feb. ha. Coin and bullion, Paris 83,778,797 70,900,078 Ditto ditto branch banks 199,076,277 .... 180,463,800 Bills diaccunted, Paris 244,372,439 292,119,080 Ditto branch banks Notes in circulation, Paris Ditto branch beaks Treasury deposits Private deposits, Paris 117,828,948 144,078,872 Ditto branch bank/ Advanced on public securities 23,472,300 24,092,700 Ditto by branch banks Advancedonrailwaysecnritiee 48,805,666 .... 3 7, 00 , 368 Ditto by branch banks This return is satisfactory. The ooin and bullion have increased full a million and a quarter sterling, whilst the circulation has decreased between 300,0001. and 400,0001. The bills discounted have decreased upwards of n millions sterling ; but spinet this movement must be set the very heavy withdrawals of private deposits from the bank. (num o OWN PARIS, THUUDLY Evszrnio. According to my information, the news that Mar shal Valliant gives up the Ministry at War to Ge neral Neil is entirely confirmed, and I believe that the appointment will be in the Moniker to-morrow. I have also good reason to think that the Doke of Malakoff is appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Paris, in the plane or Marshal Magnau, and that the latter will be sent as ambassador to St. Petersburg. The bullying military addresses published by the 16Ni:cur having been apologised for by the Empe ror himself, I should not have returned to the subject had not a fresh occasion presented itself. The pre seut one is not, I mast premise, very important, but still it deserves notioe as showing the light in which the recent vote of the House of Commons is likely to be represented in France. The litho graphed correspondence of M. Bullies, which is sent into the departments every evening, contains the following paragraph :—" Singular change in things here below! England, which never would recog nise Napoleon 1., when all Europe was at his feet, was not only the first to hail the nephew of the pri soner of St. Helena, but she has just made to him a concession which neither Charles X. nor Louis Philippe would have obtained. It is after a circular from our Foreign Minister, and in presence of the threatening addressee of our army, that Lord Palmerston has at length consented to modify the right of asylum which neither his predecessors nor himself would ever before change in compliance with complaints from the Continent." The evening papers give very full reports of the debates in the house, but they omit the text of the Emperor's apology. I believe, however, that the French government has made up its mind to publish it, and that Colonel de Castagny and his comrades will have an opportunity of reading it in the Moniteur to-morrow. The Bourse continues dull, but some degree of firmness was produced this after noon by news that the Bank of England bad reduced its discount to S per cent. The Rente rose 10c. for cash, mud 160. for account, closing at 69fr. 40c., and 69fr. 66c. Mobilier rose 7fr. 60c. The railways generally left off 21k. or Sfr. higher, but without any decided feature in the market. It is understood that very few bills indeed have been offered for discount at the bank within the last fortnight, notwithstand ing the reduction on the rate of interest. The affair of the Crocodik was called on at Bra bant on Tuesday, but as in the case of the Drapeou the trial was postponed until the principal defen dant, who had made default, should be brought be fore the court. The late Count de Rayneval died of a disease of the heart of long standing, at the early age of forty four years. His father, an eminent diplomatist and minister, brought him early into public life, and under the government of Louis Philippe he was successively appointed Pint Secretary of Embassy at Madrid and Rome, and Chargé d'Affaires at St. Petersburg. In 1848 he retired for a short period from his diplomatic career, but before the end of that year he was sent to Naples as Charge d'Affaires. Subsequently he became Ambassador at Rome, which post he filled for many years, and it is with Rome that his reputation is mainly associated. He was appointed ambassador to St. Petersburg several months since. His carriages and servants were sent there long ago, but the state of his health prevented him from proceeding to his Pod- - The Emperor and the Empress honoured the Opera Comique with their presenoe last evening to witness the revival of Auber's opera of the Fiancée. AMERICA, FATAL COLLISION IN THE IRISH CHAN NEL-LOSS OF TEN LIVES. LIVERPOOL, TRIMIDAT Nicurr. The steamship North American, with three days' later advices from the United States, arrived at Liverpool this evening. She left Portland the 30th, and brings 104 passengers, and 28,280 dollars specie. . _ This afternoon she Game into collision with the American barque Leander, bound hence for New Orleans. The barque sank in five minutes ; the cap tain and eleven seamen were saved, but the captain's wife and nine seamen were drowned. The steamer lost her bowsprit and figure-head. The American news is of little interest, and the proceedings in Congress had been unimportant. The minority of the Senate Committee on the Pacific, Railroad made a report in favour of con structing the road within ten years ; alternate tee time of land for the space of six miles to be granted, and ten million dollars to be appropriated and paid as the work progresses. The war department has received later despatches from the Utah expedition, but the character of the nowshad not transpired. It is reported that General Scott will certainly proceed to California, to organise an expedition against the Mormons. The intelligence from Utah, to Dec. 14, states that the federal troops were making themselves com fortable in winter quarters. The filibuster Wilkie, in his speech at Mobile, mid that in the month of October a confidential friend of his had an interview with a member of the cabinet, who said that the President approved of the Nicaragua enterprise, and the member recommended the Wakerites to enter into a treaty with General Conionfort, and become allies with Mexico, and then to bring about the war between Spain and Mexico, and seize Cuba; but the Walkerites repu diated the proposition. BRAZILS AND THE PLATE. The Royal Brazilian mail packet Avon arrived at Southampton last night. Her West dates are Buenos Ayres, Jan. 2; Monte Video, Jan. 6; Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 14; Bahia, Jen. 1 ,13* and Pernambuco, Jan. 21. The Avon brigs 94 passengers.

He would rather that • system of lay agency should be revived to meet the pressing and grow ing difficulties of the Church.
