I SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. A SPECIAL EDITION el the " EXPRESS ," sustaining the results el the day's Races, is pub- lished every evening during the Spo r ti ng S essea , at I six o'clock. Twa most liberal sad enlightened member of Lord DERBY'S Administration has just delivered a brief but pregnant address, which shows that he is t thoroughly penetrated by the true principles that should guide him in the arduous and responsible dim that he has undertaken. Lord STANLIT, at the Fishmoogers' Hall banquet, expressed the belief —end we are quite ready to indulge the hope—that I the transfer which has taken place of the Indian Government from the East India Company to the Executive of this country, may on the whole be o productive of benefit to India. As our readers are aware, we opposed that change, especially in the i form under which it was at first proposed to the consideration of the Legislature. In the progress of the measure through Parliament it experienced many important modifications; and we are quite free to admit that, if the time had indeed come when the transfer of power from the hands which had so long wisely and successfully wielded it, could no longer ! I be postponed, that transfer, in the shape it finally aseuened, was effected in the manner least liable I I i to serious objection. Every new scheme of government depends mainly for its suss en the mode in which it is worked, and none who witnessed the ability with which Lord STANLEY eionducted the measure in its final stages through Parliament, or have marked the fairness and discrimination which have characterised the nub- . eequent arpointmenta to the Council, can refuse to ashnowledge that the administration of Indian t affairs can hardly be in better and safer hands than those of the present Secretary. The address ! firm the favourable impressions so generally enter- tamed of Lord STANLEY'S eminent fitness for his difficult and responsible poet. i While expressing the hope, in which we cordially concur, that the change of system may tend to I . a larger introduction into India of European energy, enterprise, and thought, Lord STANLEY does not conceal from himself the increased responsibilities which are thus thrown upon the Government of this country. "We have to guard " against a double danger. We have to protect India " from the Snot tuitions of Parliamentary volition, end " to protect England from the more indirect and 1 1 1 " remote, but perhaps not less real, risk which may 0 arise from the connexion of its Executive with en " Executive which is necessarily despotic." These are wise and well weighed words ; it would not be easy to describe in tannage more terse and mope,- bassi we the true nature of the double difficulty which arises from the usumption by the British Crown of the single government of India. It is the e difficulty which has been repeatedly pointed out in these columns, and against which we rather indulge the hope, than entertain the 1 conviction, that the firmness of Government and the wisdom of Parliament will be found adequate to prevail. Those who consider the amount of power I now vested in the Secretary for India, will find it diflieslt to regard with equanimity those possible sonsequeoces of the parliamentary conflict of parties which might transfer in a moment the supreme con- trol over Indian affairs from the capable hands of Lord STANLEY to the incapable hands of a VaILNON • SMITH. It is probably, however, not too much to hope, even from the most reckless of Government s , 1 1 that their chiefs will in future show some adequate ones of the great importance of rightly filling the arduous post of Secretary for India. If it is to take the rank which from its difficulty and responsibility It ought henceforth to assume in the official hist- , itchy, it will generally be regarded as a worthy I prise of the highest ministerial ambition, the test and the reward of the most consummate capacity for serving the State. It is not only in his correct appreciation of the difficulties and dangers likely to arise in this country from the working of the new system, that the young Seoeretary for Ind:. ,vines his perfect comprehension of the true relative position of Eng- land and her great Dependency. His remarks upon the effects likely to be produced in India by those mistaken efforts to do good which have been in some quarters to inconsiderately urged on Government, are by no means the least statesmanlike portion of his address. These observations are or well expressed—they are so t highly deserving of attention in themselves--rio doubly deserving of attention as coming from the • . Indian Minister—that it would be unpardon- able not to give them all the prominence in oar power. Lord STANLEY, after expressing what we trust is a well-grounded hops that the timer pennon of feeling which prevailed in this t country aping the natives of India is • in course of gradual extinction with the cause to which it owed its origin, proceeded in the following strain of wise and elevated liberality : " I think, however, we should remember that it is . " not only from ill will or ill feelings on our part, " but also from uninformed and misdirected Mitres • • "for doing good, that our bdienos and fin , i 1 " moot in India have been exposed to danger. " We do, I believe, regard—and uudonbeedly 'we ought to regard—the natives of India as pee- -1 1 . . THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1, WS. " sons towards whom it is oar duty to feel good will, " and for whose welfare it is our duty to labour; bat " that is not enough. It is not enough to award " them as objects upon whose our benevolence may " be exercised, or as persons upon whom it is in our " power to operate important changes for good, " We must look upon them also as men with whom, " and not against whom, we have to work—as men " with feelings of their own—as men who, although politically subject to us, have a sense of their own " rights, and a respect for the.. own independence " —and as men who will be apt to be all the more " tenacious of their intellectual independence and " national customs because of the political sub " jectioo in which they are held. There can be no " doubt that the position of a conquering and govern " int race confers many advantages as regards " the influence which may be exercised over " a conquered people ; but that position carries " with it this disadvantage—that a conquering race " almost inevitably displays a certain *ease of saps " riority—a certain arrogance, if that be not too " harsh a word to cume—a certain disregard of the " feelings of others, which, *not being placed under " such circumstances, it is hardly passible for us to " understand. Ido not hesitate to say that, unless " we keep within proper bounds our feelings of " national superiority, unless we remember care " tally, and even jealously, to respect the feelings, "and even the prejudices of those with whom we " have to deal—above all, if we attempt to intro " dace the force and influence of Government into " that which ought to be matter of pi ;rate convict " time between man and his own conscience, or if we " are even suspected, upon plausible grounds, of at " tempting or intending it, our endeavours at Mr " provement will be thrown back in our face as ;g -" salts, and we shall end by doing more harm than These are the sentiments of a true Statesman and an enlightened Christian. There eon be no greater mistake than that of confounding the ancient and anispt semi-civilisation of India with the gross and simple savagery of African, or Australian, or Poly nesian aborigines. The profound and dreamy idealism of Hindoo philosophy—the immemorial deity of Hindoo usages—the impure but imposing ceremonial of Riede° superstitioo, which pervades life from the cradle to the grave—these things are not to be ignored, but to be deeply meditated by the dominant nation to whose destiny it has fallen to rule over the millions of India. It is not with simple natures, er unfurnished minds, that the European government of India or the Christian missionaries of India have to deal. In many a broad province of that vast region there are still to be found fierce and intractable souls, reluctantly succumbing to an inevitable yoke; everywhere there is to be encountered great subtlety of dis putation; an ardent attachment to ancient insti tutions ; a bigoted and internee devotion to a religion which not only affects to teach the mysteries of Theogony and the ceremonies of worship, but pre scribes the bounds of society and regulates the forms of life. Among such a people as this the arrogance of a dom;sant race, if imported into missionary effort, must necessarily pro duce effects the most disastrous. Lord Brartunt has touched upon a truth of universal history when be reminds u that races held in political subjection are on that very account all the more tenacious of their intellectual independence and national customs. The fear that the political subjection in which we hold India was about to be organised into an uni versal assendancy over the opinions, the modes of belief, and the social habits of oar Asiatic subjects-- this, more than any other single canes, was really at the root of what we may now venture to call the late insurrection. It is on all grounds a matter of public congratulation that the Minister to whom is en trussed the task of inaugurating the new system of Indian government should have had the statesman like boldness, explicitly to insist upon the duty of respecting not only the feelings but even the preju dices of those whom it is our high destiny to rule, and to utter a solemn warning against any attempt " to introduce the force and influence of Government " into that which ought to be matter of private con " riction between man and his own conscience." ~ w y.

THE MEETING AT WARSAW. The Prince of Prussia arrived at Warsaw on the evening of the 24th ult. The Emperor Alexander had been in the theatre for half an hour, when he was informed of the arrival of his lingua relative. His Majesty went at once to the station to receive him, and afterwards conducted him to the Belvidere Palace. On the 26th the Emperor end Prince visited the camp at Powonski, and reviewed the troops, which defiled twice before his Majesty. The troops formed an effective force of 30,000 men— namely 43 battalions, 28 squadrons, and 64 pieces of artillery. At each defile the Prince of Prussia put himself at the head of his regiment—the Beluga infantry regiment. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (7/011 OITR OWN PARIS, TEVINDAT ISTINIWO. The 'Pays of yesterday evening has an slide beginning with the following imposing structure of words :—" Among the questions whose solution the government pursues with a steady perseverance, there are some which, because wanting in the attractiveness belonging to political questions, have none the lees a character of usefulness and impor tance, which it is impossible to ignore, and to which it is our duty to direct the attention of orr readers. This is the more desirable because three subjects almost invariably *moon; the oommercial and manufacturing interests of the community; in respect of which interests the solicitude of the government is worthy of all praise.' Now seeing that the Pays is a semi-official organ, and sometimes speaks the words of inspiration, after reading this exordium one na turally looks with some anxiety for the particular subject of commercial or manufacturing interest concerning which a new act of the government is about to be recorded. Hasa flood of politico-eoono laical light suddenly buret upon the ironmasters of France ? litre the Prince Napoleon and Michel I Chevalier met secretly in the cabinet at Biarritz P Is the thin end of the free-trade wedge to be in troduoed, by the substitution of a small flied duty for the sliding scale of 1832? This tremendous flourish of trumpets announces none of these events. It simply announces the fact that England during the last session of parliament made a reduction in the duties on various French manafactured articles (beaver hats, stearine wax and what not), the latter in particular having been reduced from 3s. Bd. to 2s. 4d. the quintal ; that Greece has reduced her tariffs on certain articks de Paris; and that Sweden has done ►way with cer tain differential dues which heretofore weighed upon French shipping, upon which triumphs the Pays onstinues to observe : It is midway to the solicitude of the Prim& administer Yon Wt commerce, and above all P 113116111 commeres, time I Are modilostions ; and it ought to be galistrl kw that solioltuds.

The Fresh ad misaskaelsa, which knows bettor then ever how tv stand apart horn settled resolutions and preconceived tiets,laboars to resolve them difficult questions both extarnal/y sad laternelly, to the greatest possible benefit of the French tennmential movement; sad insensibly the country is daily melded to profit by its efforts. It ie by aotivg thus that it pintos itself above 'shoots and theories, and advisees towards the sad it proposes to itself, which fa the most brilliant and favourable development of French commerce and mailafactures. Now what is the grain of wheat hidden in all this bushel of chaff ? If the sentence means anything, it means that France is to get as much as she ran of other people, and to give se little as possible herself; that in proportion as other commercial barriers are lowered, hers shall be raised. Bat it would be pay ing the French ►dministration a poor compliment to imagine it so short-sighted as to believe that it will long continue thus to shut itself up in an isolated commercial policy. The Patrie has a short article against the return to the sliding scale. It says : We saw in 1816 sad 185.1 the goverment, in the prossoos of high prloss, hams, sad with reason, to abolish every tax ow impartatioa sad navigaticia which alight prevent the arrival of supplies.

We have news from Utah to the 20th August, a week later than proclaim accounts. The Indians were peaceable. Brigham Young still kept himself hid, fearing, it is said, the vengeanoe of the Mor mons, who are reported as being greatly incensed against the Prophet in consequence of some revela tions concerning his business transactions with the Saints. The Mormons were returning to Salt Lake City and resuming their ordinary avocations. The Union Bank, at Kinderhook, Columbia county, was robbed on the night of the 13th ult. of specie and bank notes to the amount of 10,000 dollars. The thieves obtained access to the money by blowing open the bank vault with gunpowder. The explosion shattered the windows of the build ing, demolished the furniture, and aroused the slum bering inhabitants of the village, but the robbery wag not discovered till after daylight. A description of the inspected burglars has been forwarded to the police of this city, and a reward of 2,000 dole. is offered for their apprehension. The first overland mail to California left the St. Louis post-office on the 16th September. It goes by railroad to Tipton, Mo., and thence by coaches and spring waggons to San Francisco. The Mail party bring full confirmation of the reports relative to the richness of the South Platte gold mines. Many miners, without tools, and with no appliance other than a tin pan, were getting from three to five dollars per day. Hon. Sherrard Clemens, member for Congress, and 0. Jennings Wise, editor of the Richmond Enquirer, fought a duel near Richmond, on the 17th. Mr. Clemens's thigh was fractured, and Mr. Wise came out of the conflict unharmed. Mr. Clemens was the challenger. Through the agent, Colonel Kelly, the ladies of New York intend presenting to Captain Waters, commander of the Galway and New York steam ship Prince Albert, an Irish commercial flag, on the occasion of his next departure from that port. The papers mention the death of Mr. Paine' Eddy, late superintendent of the American Telegraph Com pany's lines, and honorary director of the Atlantic Telegraph Company. Mr. Eddy was indefatigable in the performance of hie office, and wore himself out in the service of the company. News has been received at Charleston, S.C., of the capture on the coast of Africa of the brig St. Andrew, by a British cruiser, on suspicion of being a slaver. The St. Andrew formerly belonged to Charleston, but the Courier is under the impression that she was sold to parties in Cuba. She and her crew were taken to St. Helens, to await an investigation.

The establieboast of mach a system of consular educa tion and promotion as may tend to prevent the employment of any bat British subjects se °mauls, v:ce-oonattle, or inter preters, in the portion of the world cunplising Northein Attica, Eastata Europe, and the Levant. 2. The prohibition of ell commie to engage in trade, or to accept commercial agencies (except in such came as the Foreign-olnce may specially determine to be advantepoue to the public interest, with a view to the opening or develop ing of sny new trade), and the appointment of respectable persons, already engaged in commerce, as British consular agents, in places where the premien of a salaried British official is not required. 3. The diminution of the present number of vice comb In Europe, end the gradual abolition of their license to trade. 4. Such an crganiestion of the consular service as may divide its member into separate classes, receiving salaries adequate to their position, and without any farther reduction than that of the income-tax; sty augmentation for special esmios or peculiar oircumstmutes to be made in the way of • special allowance. . . 6. The appropriation of all fees, 6:rept in the cases of un paid consuls to the public account, the expenses of the office being regula ted and defrayed by the government. Your committee an of opinion that the consoler inattao tions might be revised with advantage, and that the pablia lion, the commercial returns from our consuls, in an Improved form, might be of considerable benefit to the public. _ . . Your committee recommend that the classification of con sular officers referred to in th. ir report, together with the scale of salaries decided upon by the government, should tie laid before parliament. Your oommittes are unwilling to separate without express ing their gratiflostion at the testimony borne to the worth and character of the gentlemen now on the oonsular establish ment of this country.
